1Well, well. GamesCom hits, and a Sony conf. grenade explodes.
News:
The kemo will have to be done in sessions for 4-5 months. First session is $900 and each other session twice a month @$200 a session. She is applying for all these credit cards for money and her ex bf who shares the dog doesn't have shit and his credit is so bad he can't get shit so basically she's doing this all out of her own pocket. She does not have the money for this. I have been supportive but in reality there is only so much you can do. I told her to be careful (refering to racking up a bunch of debt) because i the end you're going to have to put her down either now or 9 months later. I then said the kemo was stupid if it can't cure the dog.
Then she says how she's done talking to me (obviously I upset her) and that I don't understand. I feel bad that she feels this way towards me, but somebody has to be a voice of reason because she is going all out to try and save her doggie when the vets said ultimately she can't be saved. I think next time I just won't say shit and just say stuff like "uh huh, yeah...umm that sucks"

I have beaten Super Mario Bros for the first time and I owned a Nintendo since they came out. I'm not sure why but 8-1 and 8-2 always screwed me over. Checked off list of things to do before I die.

The Canadian Rangers, of course

they're armed with a bolt action rifle from COD2... and they're currently "embarking" on finding a new weapon for them :)
The woman and i are heading up to the ATX tonight to see Bat for Lashes at The Parish on 6th street. We're staying downtown. Any of you hipsters want to meet up for drinks before the show? I'll buy first round.

My kid played Fat Princess at some point today and left the damn thing on for a good six hour with no one playing it. Now it won't recognize when I put a goddamn disc in the drive -- game or movie.
THANKS TOMMY!!!
I hope he enjoyed his last day of playing my PS3. D:<

THANK YOU to id software for spawning this and maintaining it and finding fun ways to keep it free to attend. Yes, it is obviously sponsor supported, but this is a rare case of sponsor support being interesting. I love checking out the vendor area and look forward to that every year. Also, The 'Con gives Shackers a good reason and venue to meet up annually and party and get to know each other. Rage looks great by the way, but hopefully y'all at id knew that. I am buying your game. We all win!
THANK YOU to the evil corporate overlords at GameFly for hosting a great party at Gameworks. This was un-asked for, unexpected, and appreciated. We were treated to free food, drinks, gaming, and the enjoyment of each others' company. Free awesome shirts and bumper stickers, which surprisingly do not mention GameFly, just Shacknews. Yeah we were scared when sTeve sold his creation, this place many of us call home, but he picked a very good buyer and I suspect that was intentional and careful. They seem to care about our community.
THANK YOU to those brave few souls who dared rides in my achy-breaky car, despite the very real possibility it would break down. It didn't -- just barely -- and I got to know some of you quite well and had an absolute blast shuttling between the airport and the hotel. I am sorry I talk so much and I hope y'all were able to get words in sideways from time to time. I get excited when I meet new Shackers and, well, I get loud and animated and won't shut up and how annoying that must be! But y'all were cool about it anyway.
THANK YOU to DJ Clipdat for the Shackmessage with kind words about my shuttle rides, even though you were not a recipient. It made a bad day good, and is indicative of one of the big reason I stay here rather than any of many other gaming sites. Shackers, as a whole, RULE.
NOW: There are still two VERY nice and awesome Shackers here in Dallas, visiting from Australia, for the next two days. I have no car at present, and wish I could hang with them, and although they are resourceful types who will manage to find ways to get out and about, I shudder to think that they might be cooped up in a hotel in North Dallas (635 and 35E area). SO, Dallas Shackers -- and you are ALL cool -- if any of you have free time the next couple days and want to meet two of the coolest dudes on the planet, hit TastyWheat and CoRDS by Shackmessage and maybe they would enjoy a visit! Take them to Frys or Whole Foods and I bet CoRDS could be talked into trying your favourite hamburger place.

I work a second job part time at a local Game Crazy. Today, some little shit called in about the PS3 slim, convo as follows:
"Hey, did you guys drop the price on your PS3s?"
"Umm...no we haven't yet why?"
"PS3 slim is official, everyone has to drop their prices now, do you have one?"
"We have two in stock, but we won't drop the price until corporate gives us the official go-ahead, skus, update etc."
"It IS official idiot, check *somestupidsitehere.com*, so do I get the new price or not?"
"My store manager is out of town, but I don't think she would mind me just giving it to you with a manual price to the new price--"
"You guys are assholes and idiots"
*Click*
Seriously?! I'm about ready to go ahead and drop a price on a console a hundred bucks for him without management approval, based on news that I haven't even read or verified yet, and he decides to call me an idiot and an asshole because corporate might be a little slow getting things updated or giving us the go ahead?
I really hate people I meet at this job sometimes.
TLDR: I work at a game crazy, some kid wants new PS3 price, we can't do it without manager/corporate go ahead, but I am willing to bend some rules for him to do so-but he calls me an asshole and an idiot and hangs up.

Peter Molyneux is making history by breaking the RPG mold and making you a king, decended from the hero in Fable 2. In the game, you give poor people tax breaks and make your kingdom into a socialist utopia to rival Barack Obama's wildest dreams. Presumably there's a flipside where you tax everyone into absolute poverty and they protest outside your magnificent and oddly menacing obsidian castle. Sounds more like Sim City 1600 than an RPG to me.

You may remember him from such shows as News Radio and The Simpsons. And some short lived comedy skit show type thing. Zapp Brannigan was written for him specifically.

While Frank attempted to respond to all questions, he gave up when one woman compared health care proposals favored by Frank and President Obama to policies of Nazi Germany.
"When you ask me that question, I'm going to revert to my ethnic heritage and ask you a question: On what planet do you spend most of your time?" Frank asked.
"Trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table," Frank said to the woman. "I have no interest in doing it."

And another thing that grinds my gears - you would think that the official site would have information like this, but no, like all other official game sites, it has the most useless prattle on it. One developer interview and a collection of trailers at a site like Shackvids or gametrailers always has 50,000 times more useful information that the official sites do.

So does anyone have any experience with getting logitech to replace their mice? Is it still ethical given that it may have been abused? It now doubleclicks and sometimes doesn't click at all.
