Weekend Discussion: Disk Cleanup Wizard
by Chris Faylor, Mar 06, 2010 8:00am PSTThe weather's getting warmer, the sun's waking up earlier and staying out later, the birds are chirping, the cats are meowing, plus it's March. Safe to say, spring is in the air.
So, how do I celebrate? Putting out the hammock, perhaps? Nope! Instead, I'm trolling the various folders, sub-folders and sub-sub-folders of my main hard drive to free up space I don't really need. In fact, while writing this, I found another 30GB that can go.
I think I need help.

As a genre the good bands I know of are limited to Black Sabbath, Tenacious D, Dragonforce and Dethklok. Any other great metal bands out there? And not Iron Maiden, Mettallica or that shit, I'd rather not listen to crap.

With FF13 due out in a few days, it makes no sense to jump into a new game, and I'm not close to finishing any other game (that I'm aware of). Thus I feel stuck in limbo at the moment, with only options like Rock Band or the like. (This is part of the genius of L4D 1/2 - it gives the feel of a full-fledged game but with only an hour commitment)

Based on info from the Game Informer reveal of Portal 2, one aspect includes using special paint that gives unique physical properties to surfaces (eg rocket jumping, speed bursts, etc). Someone comments that it reminded them of "Tag: the Power of Paint", a Digipen Student project that won the IGF Student entry last year.
Here's the page about the game: https://www.digipen.edu/studentprojects/tag/
Now, this is speculation, but I've tracked two of the four main students on the project and they claim Valve employment. The other two have private Facebook profiles but what's public certainly suggests Valve employment as well.
Thus, I fully suspect that, as with the Nabocular Drop before, the team from Tag was brought into Valve, with their work added to Portal 2. (Which is super cool of Valve) Which means if you want a taste of Portal 2 now, you can grab Tag from the link above to play around with it.

What the fuck is the deal with bananas getting so damn ripe so suddenly. I bought five bananas a week ago and now they've already become almost completely dark brown. What is this bullshit! Haven't we come up with a way to genetically modify bananas to slow their ripening? I basically have to eat a bananas every day after I buy them, or else they'll turn into shit! Am I doing something wrong? Is there some secret to my bananas not turning to shit?

This shit is the most ridiculous dancing I've ever seen. These people should be superheroes. Seriously, skip to about 4:45 is when it really starts to pick up. Each dancer is fucking so unique and awesome. Lil' C's in it.

The Shinji Mikami/ Suda-51/ Akira Yamaoka dream team horror game for EA is tops on my list.
The rest of my list:

- The FIFTH Platinum game (plus more on Vanquish)
- More L.A. Noire news
- Whatever the heck Irrational Boston is on.
- Nintendo's next big hardware thing (you know it's out there)

Just started building my castle, even though I'm only up to Town Hall 9. I plan on attacking some folks in the MiddleEarth alliance near me today -- there's two strong StolenRealm guys near me, and I won't be able to fend them off unless I can scale up my operation.

The Los Angeles Times breaks new ground today, translating the “homepage†take-over concept from the Web to print and deliver Disney’s Mad Hatter to readers’ doorsteps, driveways and city street corners.

This is another one of those cases where I'm thinking the Shack is in a different dimension that only exists in my computer screen. All these posts talking about how fucking AWESOME BC2 is, while I am in utter disbelief that it is so bad and hearing every single one of my friends telling me the same things.
I don't understand. We must all be doing something wrong.
- First off, it is a fucking miracle if I get to actually play it online. It takes about 5 or 6 minutes to get into a game if I am lucky. Most of the time I am just clicking on EA login error messages, server login error messages, (not to mention server full messages) or simply waiting in vain for the game to do something after I click on "join now". I mean, what the fuck?
- The server list shows no pings? And I have to wait for the whole list to refresh before I can see anything or join a server? And search doesn't work? Can't DICE solve the same stupid (and I mean stupid) problems they have had for a decade?
- Ok, I know DICE games have usually been floaty, laggy affairs with poor collision detection and shitty netcode, but come on, it's 2010 guys. Those issues shouldn't exist anymore. BC2 is full of them, everywhere. Even in single player I constantly see rockets and such go through scenery, vehicles and enemies, let alone multiplayer games.
- All kinds of performance and quality issues: can never get the framerate to be truly fluid, graphical glitches all over the place, sound sucks, horribly designed UI, game quits to desktop at random, half of my friends having PB issues, VoIP quality is terrible, even the game itself isn't properly explained to the player in any way. It really just feels like an early beta of a game, not a final release.
Now, are none of you guys are experiencing these issues or getting a similar impression?
