Evening Reading: Infinity Ward News Blowout 2010!
by Brian Leahy, Mar 02, 2010 5:00pm PSTJust kidding. We've already covered the spit out of the Activision and Infinity Ward situation. I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Instead, you should all read Alice's great story on video game marketing and the info-dump for the Portal ARG discovered yesterday.
This OK Go video is delightfully nerdy if you like giant Rube Goldberg machines (you should).
If you're suiting up for some Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer tonight, watch this video (warning: audio NSFW) for tips on how to not be a noob. It's especially helpful if you're coming from Modern Warfare 2 or don't have much experience with Battlfield games. Basically, I want as few people playing this game like that other shooter.
Game of the Evening:
Shadowrun (Sega Genesis): "To this day the only Shadowrun game that bothered to stay true to the source material. >:( NERD RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE" (Rauol Duke)

I've just ordered a new PSU after suffering over a month of my PC just cutting out every now again. The reason I waited so long was that I was deliberating whether to risk paying for a new PSU only to find out that’s not the problem. After some advice from fellow Shackers I’m biting the bullet.
My PC is now looking like this…
Gigabyte 965p-ds3
E4300 Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz Processor overclocked to 2.7GHz
Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2
Sapphire HD 5870 1GB GDDR5
Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB (got another WD drive in there which is about 320GB)
Corsair 650W TX Series PSU (When it arrives next week)
The oldest item/s on the list are my MB and Processor. Thinking it’ll be time to upgrade fairly soon but not really sure whether to wait a year and upgrade both, getting i7 or to just get a quad core processor in a month or so.
What do you guys reckon?

Can an administrator of the steam Shacknews EU group give me an invite please? The send msg thingy in the steam BETA UI doesn't seem to work and I don't feel like going back to the vanilla steam UI. But I desperately need some friends to play with BFBC2 tomorrooooww.
Thanks!

Can someone point me to the cool crowd, or atleast teach me how not to hate.
I've turned from this someone introverted nice guy into an introverted angry guy that
hates everyone.

What if episode 3 and portal 2 is the same game? Can you imagine if Gordon Freeman had to run through some of Glados' experiments?

The biggest issue seems to be "stuff." All the crap we owned. I think selling / getting rid of almost everything except the basics till the move would be best. It would make it easier to fix up our current house to sell and it would make moving that much more easier. When we get there, we find a house and buy new furniture. To me this makes the most sense considering I'll have to come out to Texas first to find a job.
She want to only get rid of "junk" and put everything in storage and then after we find a place, come back to baltimore and move our stuff from storage to the new house. Beside having to move twice and extra trips between Texas and Maryland, it seems like a lot of effort that won't save us money. This also seems to put our kids in limbo more.
Also if I can't find a job in Texas, we probably want to move anyways, even if we are just staying in Maryland.
Anyone done this and can you offer any advice on how not to go completely crazy?
Is there a plugin for Firefox to use the Chrome engine to render certain pages?
I heard that youtube now has some kind of HTML5 interface and doesn't use flash? is that right? I could use that plugin and have chrome based youtube in a FFox Window, right?
