Or buy The VOIDhttp://itunes.com/apps/thevoid tell all your friends, and have a great game too (You will likely be the only person to buy it that day! How Exclusive!)
* Why not just use the website directly on the iPad? You could, and it works pretty well. Truth is that is was actually pretty easy to port it over. Easy enough to make it worth it as an experiment. Maybe it's better, maybe it's not. But given the port represents maybe 8 hours of work including experimenting with the new shit that I dont know about, it's not a big deal.
* Hey can you add feature X? Sure, if I am bored. But I dont get bored often. If you want something in, do it yourself. Link to the source is in my profile. Fork the repo, make some shit, and let me know when you got something cool. This app already has code from quite a few shackers: Yanks, Mr. SEX, boarder2, multisync, and a few others I think I may have forgot.
What a fucking douchebag. Gives a bad name to gamers every fucking where, and it's not like he's alone. I run into more and more of these self entitled assclowns that thinks the world revolves around their wants every fucking day. The only punishment was they confiscated his modded consoles and his laptop, too. Probably because he nuked the directory that had the copied data on it before they took his laptop from him.
Seriously, I'd chip in a nice amount to get some data recovery done on the hdd if it meant delivering some real ass pain to the idiot.
Did they have to stretch that love affair sub-plot across an entire episode? I guess maybe it will pay off later, or it will make more sense in context with the entire series. But while I was watching these love scenes I was thinking "who cares about this?" And I really don't find much to like about the main character.
Also, I don't get the intro sequence. What is the significance of the shattering charcoal and sketching? Is it a metaphor for how the series intends to portray the events, or is it just an arbitrary stylistic device? Either way I think they should have tried something else.
After an almost exactly 3 year break from the game, I went back and finished the original God Of War for a 3rd time. (This playthru was on "Normal", and I previously beat it first on "Easy" and then on "Hard").
"God" level? I can't even imagine having the skill to do that, though I really want to unlock the final "Treasures" and watch them (which you can only do by beating it on "God" mode).
Have you ever finished a game (any game, not just GoW) on every skill level?
I unfortunately broke my headphones last night and am now in the market for a new pair. I've been looking at a few, but can't settle. If I had the money, I would buy a <$100 pair, but no, I don't have the money. This is where you guys/girls come in...
Give me recommendations for a sub $100 pair of over-the-ear headphones. Of course quality of sound matters (i'm an audio nazi). Help me, Shack. You're my only hope.
Sooo ... In case anyone had wondered, I am still alive. My new job gives me no outside internet access and when I get home in the evening, the last thing I want to do is touch a computer. I'm happy in a new relationship, marriage potential. My x-box is still packed away so I've done no gaming whic isn't any change from before. I hope everyone on the shack is doing well. Moving to GA has been a great move for me.
I turned 33 today. What do you want for my birthday?
Giving is far more rewarding than receiving, and my bday this year has been all about the giving.
In that spirit, and because you're awesome, I want to give the gift of gaming to a lucky one of you. Reply with your steam name and any game you want on steam, and at the end of the day when ER rolls in I will randomly select a name and gift you that game.
There's a catch: By putting your name on this list, whether you win or not, you give me and the entire rest of the shack your solemn promise that you will do something nice or give something awesome to someone else.
so Heroes of Newerth open beta is about to hit. Will that change much? I mean invites are just free flowing as it is. I wonder if it will change the community at all (from being dota cocks)
Anyone notice that the scheduled delivery date is before the 3rd? Mine is supposed to be delivered on friday...no one is going to be home. Do you think apple will have UPS hold them all for a sat delivery? (the 3rd)

Holy shit I just bought a car. 2010 CRV EX-L Nav in Red
My local Honda dealership was dicking me around. Loyalty gets you fuckall these days. I purchased our Pilot from this sales guy 3 years ago. I've had every oil change, tire rotation, etc. done at that dealership. My price was the Edmunds TMV price, which that figure is what I got for our Pilot in 2006. Those fuckers would not budge at MSRP +$500.
They were full of excuses about not being able to find one, blah blah blah. It took me 5 minutes searching cars.com to find one. It took me another 10 to have 3 quotes at the TMV price. I gave my local dealership one last chance to match the quote from the dealership 150 miles away in Oklahoma and when they said no, I called them up and we were done.
Internet + Phone purchasing is where it is at my friends. My local dealer was doing all the stupid back and forth shit. The internet manager in Oklahoma cut straight to the chase. If you are needing to buy a new car and you have multiple dealerships (we only have one Honda dealer in WIchita), use the edmunds.com method!
Neat. So it looks like the guys behind Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions are the same dudes that did Bee Movie: The Game (considered one of the best licensed games on the 360!), Monsters vs Aliens (also supposed to be pretty fun), a bunch of PC ports of various rad games (Cars, Kung Fu Panda, Gun, Ultimate Spiderman), and some mac ports of other rad games (Homeworld 2, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, LOTR: Return of the King).
That + that trailer they just released looks fucking awesome and I'm pretty jazzed for this sucker!
Hope it's better than Treyarch's Spiderman 3. Dunno wtf happened there. Like, the previous three Spiderman games from them were just peachy (Spiderman 1/2/Ultimate). I blame Activision for ruining them like they would later ruin Neversoft. :(
This is probably a pretty stupid question, but, why is it that when you're looking for a new job you shouldn't tell your employer(s)?
The reason is because I'd really like to put a few (or at least one) of my bosses down as a reference, but obviously I'd want to tell him that I want to put him down as a reference before I do it, which would obviously entail him knowing hat I'm looking for a new job. I'm not unhappy with my current job at all, nor is my current employer unhappy with me, it's just that this is not exactly the field I went to school for so I feel that it's about time to move on. This is my first really real job though (and also I'm just plain dumb), so I don't know whether or not it's ok to tell them. I feel like he'd probably be pretty cool about it, but I don't want to do something stupid that I can't take back. Thanks for your help!
I'm looking for a documentary, but I have no idea what it's called. Maybe someone here can help me out?
It's about two young lions that where brought up in a zoo, being trained to make it in the wild. I only really remember two scenes.
In one, in order to preserve his alpha status, the trainer that has contact with him... is kind of a mother / father figure to them, walks up to them after their first kill and drags it away. They're not happy about this at all. Claws extended, roaring at him, but he pulls away the bloody slab of meat, making it clear to them (and praying they won't test it) that he's the boss.
The other one is about one of their first hunts. They're hungry. They're on the prowl. In a wilderness they don't know. And they come across Ostriches and freak. What the fuck are this feathered beasts?! RUN! RUN!
And so the hunter become the hunted and hide from dinner.

A few FAQ's that keep popping up:
* Why dont you charge for it cause we want to support you?
First, this app is free because it should be, just like the site and community. Second, if I made you pay I would have to listen you feedback, feel guilty when shit is broken, and spend more time doing support and to be honest I'm too lazy busy for all that. If you do feel the need to be awesome, the link in my profile is what you want: http://beautifulpixel.com/assets/Shacknews_-_PC_Games%2C_PlayStation%2C_Xbox_360_and_Wii_video_game_news%2C_previews_and_downloads-20100330-101817.png (but dont feel obligated, really)
Or buy The VOID http://itunes.com/apps/thevoid tell all your friends, and have a great game too (You will likely be the only person to buy it that day! How Exclusive!)
