Morning Discussion

Good morning, class. Your task today is to study the history of PC sound devices as told by The Secret of Monkey Island. Complete your work to a satisfactory standard and I won't tell Dr. Breckon what an awful bunch of slackers you've been during his sabbatical.

Remember that ninja flash game? I don't remember it's name. I think they ported it to ds. You would hop around a level jumping up walls and dodging shit until you reached the exit door. Wow this a vague description.

BFBC2 peeps. Anybody been getting the "Connection to the game server has been lost" errors? About a week or so ago I started getting them when I never had problems going all the way back to the beta. Now I can't keep up a connection for more than a few minutes before the game lags out and I get dropped. And I can't think of anything I might have done to cause it. I've also tried a bunch of things with no luck, and Google shows a lot of others with the same issue but with no apparent solution. Any thoughts?

Hey, talking about completing our work to a satisfactory standard, what ever happened to that Shacknews feature on weekends that would have a little game history and the a question or two on a particular game.
If I remember correctly, it only lasted four weeks or so, but the scores for everyone participating were being kept.
Anyone know what I'm talking about or have a link to one of those stories?

anyone have any suggestions on a blu ray drive for pc?

i'd like to begin ripping my BR's for some streaming space saving action.

so far i've found this.

http://www.amazon.com/LITE-Blu-ray-Internal-Optical iHOS104/dp/B002EE996Q/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

i'll google up some guides, but i'm assuming i would rip them to mkv then compress them to h264?

I know there's a clear separation between front pagers and chat thread posters but I stumbled on this Front Page article about the sale on all 3 seasons of Sam and Max for $45 (link below). It seems like a great deal, but I honestly don't know anything about these games and am concerned they are something I'll get bored with and set aside unfinished. I generally prefer FPSers on the PC. I've seen quite a few posts about them, but what other games are they akin to? Are they really all that great?

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/63897

tl;dr Should I buy the 3 Seasons of Sam and Max for $45 if I haven't played any episodes?

Has anyone ever had the adhesive on their iPhone screen come out? Mine is only 2 months old and the screen is popping up slightly above the frame on the left side. I can also see its separated from the frame a bit on that side There was some crud around it that was really difficult to rub off. I'm wondering if it's because of the high humidity. I haven't dropped it yet so it can't be my fault.

Wow! This:

http://www.thumbcharts.com

is an awesome site I had never heard of before. Lots of great economic charts laid out in one place.

Of note:

That being said, I'm not a big believer in gold.
