Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Sep 16, 2009 7:00am PDTThe news that Rogue Trooper will hit North American Wiis soon got me firing it up on PC again. My view is coloured by being a fan of the comic but I still think it's good decent fun. Rogue's sneaky bag of tricks--holographic decoy, micro mines, delightfully huge silencer and rifle deployable as a sentry--make blending stealth and action very natural and pleasing. Having no pickups beyond the salvage used to manufacture ammo, medkits and rifle upgrade modules is just lovely. Yes, it's not spectacular and does feel a little dated, but it's fun, alright? $10 on Steam and Direct2Drive. Fun.
Now, who fancies some multiplayer. It's co-op!

I love Ronald Jenkees, so I just want to make sure his fans know his new album is out. :)
It's really immersive, so great for driving IMO. www.ronaldjenkees.com It's way better than the samples let on.
Check out him playing on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giAzopSy-g0&feature=channel

Maarten and I are happy to report that the Legend of the Green Dragon Mobile app for iPhone has been released (finally):
http://linktoapp.com/green+dragon
The support page with requirements and more info about the app can be found at http://lotgd.maartengoldstein.com
Since the LoGD pages are too wide for the iPhone and require much zooming around for comfortable dragon slaying on the go (and also because we were hurting to mess around with iPhone development), we decided to create an app to remedy that.
The beauty is that no modifications are necessary server-side, so it should be compatible with many of the customized LoGD version (given the layout is the same as the Jade skin's) on any server using any language.
We parse the HTML pages and rip out the central view to display it. We moved the navigation actions into an action picker (the "wheel" you see when selecting a drop-down-menu option on a webpage) and bring up a view with your stats on request.
We would like to thank our testers and RoboticPuppyEater for their help. Make sure to use game server www.shackbbs.com to play with/against other shackers!

Forget that this article is about drafting Tim Tebow. They are talking about the Jags having every home game on blackout.
They didn't raise ticket prices. They focused on group sales. They created value meals at concession stands. They offered season-ticket packages for half the games and recently introduced a "flex pack," which allows fans to buy tickets to any three games and save $30.
The response has been minimal.
Why don't they just sell all unsold tickets at 50%? Isn't recouping HALF OF THE PRICE and filling your stadium better than a Brazilian empty seats?

I agree with what this dude is saying. Obviously there is a place for carefully crafted cinematic games, but why don't we have more randomly generated levels? Spelunky is fucking awesome!!

I just got an update from Derge about his attempt to setup a Karaoke mod:
He says "I only have a few songs. I have a 60hr work week this week. So I am not sure how much I can get done. I sent Harvester an SM with how the song formatting is done. But he hasn't responded. I just need to open up my firewall and add more songs and Things should be ready to go. Problem is getting songs people wanna sing. "
If you want to shackmessage him, he's the shacker known as mmaster_pw. But he's Derge when he's on the steam network playing Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead or whatever.
Not sure if he's going to get it working initially on Left 4 Dead or Team Fortress 2 or both.

How much longer will these OFLC retards have jobs, they know NOTHING. How does a patch/mod job of an existing game that DID get classification not pass the same process???

Still new folks joining up so figured I'd make a quick post. Last night one of our level 60's rescued helped my friend and I out in the North Trollshaws. We were up against a seemingly endless amount of elite spiders - but once we were joined by our kin member things got a lot easier.
We are Ghosts of Gladden Fields, on Silverlode.

I'm looking to spend around 300$ max on the knives (and a set). Yes I know, one good knife can cost 250+ dollars and some may say go for the more expensive stuff, but its all i got left after my CPU and ive been saving it to buy my mom a nice gift.
My sister suggested http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=580&f=7875&q=knives&fromLocation=Search&DIMID=400001&SearchPage=1
which look like decent cutlery, definitely better than what she has now. The reviews are pretty good, what do you guys think? Any other suggestions?
