Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Nov 16, 2009 6:00am PSTDead Space's has given me a bad case of ventilation heebie jeebies, meaning I inch towards every fan, shaft, window and vent with immense caution then still jump when a fleshy monstrosity pops out. Which is fun enough but a little hollow.
I am of course an idiot for jumping but it feels like Dead Space is blowing its load on cheap scares to the detriment of what would otherwise be a terrifying scenario. Comparisons to System Shock 2 are clearly invited so I suppose I'll mention that SS2's semi-random spawns helped create a more general and pervasive dread, though Dead Space of course intends to create a more tightly controlled experience.
I'm still having a ball, mind. It's a splendid monster mash and jolly good fun.

Alright Florida Shackers, I'm deploying to the desert in December and I'd like to meet some Shackers for fun times before I go. The last and only time I met Shackers was way back in 2004 (?) with UtilityMaximizer and others.
At the moment I was thinking we could go play Goofy Golf (it's about $2.50 per game, with two 'courses') then head over to Los Rancheros which is a decent mexican food restaurant. OR we could do this in Destin and then go race go-karts and go eat at one of the touristy places.
I'd really like to hang out with some fellow geeks that know WTF before I deploy for six months. Let's do this!

People have figured out how to enable the developer console, and with it you can pretty much control any aspect of your game, including gravity, xp amounts per kill, etc. And it all works normally with ranked play in the normal playlists.
Imagine picking a playlist and having the matchmaking system dump you into this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rqLUDfl26Y&hd=1
And with pirated copies able to play online, this sort of tomfoolery will be pretty common. And with no server browser or even game browser, you go where the system tells you to go. Cant wait until someone figures out a malicious use of this (other than just crashing games, which is already out there) to permanently bugger up peoples progression

For the record I do NOT do any drugs other than coffee and nicotine (smoker) so what the fuck
The two recipes I have used have simply said "oil for deep frying" or "hot fat for deep frying" but doesn't elaborate.
What is "oil for deep frying?" Is it labeled as such, or is it like vegetable oil or something? I don't cook much so I need to know exactly what the package will say!
Also, what is "hot fat?" Can you just buy it in a store? Which would be better for this venture, hot fat or oil? Or is it the same thing? I HAVE NO IDEA

A lot of shackers have told me they are interested in buying prints of my artistic photography. Well, I've made a bunch of stuff available for purchase if you still want them!
http://www.photoshelter.com/c/joshlyon/gallery-list -- These are just for straight prints, no frames or anything. Photoshelter allows you to pick the size and then if it doesn't fit the aspect ratio you can create a custom crop. Pretty cool.
I also went and printed a bunch myself and got them mounted, laminated, and framed. Those are also for sale, but they cost me a lot to make so they're a bit more spendy than the straight prints: http://www.etsy.com/shop/joshlyon

So go over there and vote for Cameron to help us out. It's nothing big or important, but I'm curious to see how many votes we can pump into it.
Thanks!

They promptly went to the Apple and Puma store with her credit card to make some purchases (check ID much you retarded clerks?)
Today, she gets a letter in the mail, from the thief. He was kind enough to return her CA ID. What the fuck?

Any difference between this and the XFX version of the card? The XFX is in most system guides right now.. but I can get the Gigabyte for a fair amount less. I dont care about overclocking, so that's no an issue.

Yusaf and Brucie's brother Mori are some of the funniest characters in the history of gaming. I really liked Lost and the Damned because of it's focus and serious story but I have to say Gay Tony is just more fun. More wacky stuff etc. I think they both serve as great bookends to the entire Grand Theft Auto 4 universe though.

Forget the ranked game stuff. We need a game where all the shack fools shoot each other in the face.
I forget which game modes are 9 v 9 and which are 6 v 6, but who's in for this? I can play tonight after 6pm PT, tomorrow after 7:30pm PT, and Wednesday evening.
Skip monday night football, who cares about the browns and the ravens?
Most of us have a full friends list, but I'd think that with 12 (or 18) people, each of us has one other person in our list who would be playing. Make sure to post your gamer tag and your availability. also post if you cancelled any preorders due to the lack of features of this crappy game
