Weekend Discussion

by Xav de Matos, Aug 07, 2010 8:15am PDT

There were three crying babies on my flight home from Vancouver. Three. It's as though they met beforehand to discuss how they could send the aircraft into a tailspin of chaos, and upon the execution of an elaborate signal non-diaper wearers could not sense, the plan was put into motion. I'm pretty sure it was an act of terrorism.

I actually didn't care all that much. Headphones and the latest episode of Weekend Confirmed kept me busy, but people kept looking back at each of the parents with this expression of, "Really, you haven't figured out to make an infant stop crying? You are a failure as a parent and human-being." It's not a dog. It's a person.

One guy kept looking back at a crying baby and then at me, like we were going to form some kind of bond over our dislike for the situation. At one point I mouthed the word, "What?" and he replied in a hushed tone, "Stupid babies are giving me a headache." I shook my head and said, "Maybe you should go outside for some fresh air." We were probably at 35,000 feet at that point. He stopped talking to me after that.

Alice O'Connor: I was hoping for a video games-free weekend of reading but alas, I must play Disciples III: Renaissance.
Brian Leahy: I could lie and say I'll be playing anything other than StarCraft 2 this weekend, but I won't. It's StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty. I got put in Diamond league and I'm hoping to stay there. It's been tough already.
Garnett Lee: Oh, I think you know Trebek. I'll be deep into Madden NFL 11 in preparation for the review, as well as getting back to Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty and playing some R.U.S.E. but I've also set my mind to play a wild card. What that is, I'm not sure yet.
Jeff Mattas: [Zombies ate his homework... and then his brains.]
Xav de Matos: I've been playing StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty against the A.I. Although I'm still terrible, I'm not getting destroyed by the computer anymore. On Medium, that is. My Vancouver trip cut into my time with the Xbox Live Arcade's Castlevania: Harmony of Despair; I'll sink some time into that before heading to New York on Wednesday.

SC2 Zerg Gurus

I'm just getting rolled in 1v1 to the point that it is starting to get un-fun. I feel like I'm building the wrong stuff in the wrong order and that the other team always has a bigger force by the time we meet (Bronze btw). On top of that, even though I scout their base and see that he has 3 gateways and a starport...I have no idea what that means. I also don't know all of the unit counters.

Never really played SC1, and I'm a "vs AI" kind of RTS player (Turtler).

For a FPS analogy, I feel like I'm a guy who only exclusively plays snipers in large team based shooters (ie. Battlefield), and then being asked to 1v1 in Quake Live.

I'm watching a lot of replays and commentated matches, but I'm still confused as to what I need to do in order to get my shit together faster in a match.

WASHINGTON -- The United States has had three female secretaries of state â€” but until now has never had a woman lead one of its 16 major intelligence agencies.
Letitia A. Long is being elevated Monday to director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in a ceremony at the agency's half-built, high-tech campus in Springfield, Va.
The "Jetsons"-style rounded wedge of buildings is rising from a vast construction site near Fort Belvoir. The NGA's staff, now spread across the Washington metropolitan area, is slated to relocate there by fall 2011.

Yes, there's an American intelligence agency with the abbreviation NGA. And that's its NEW name.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Geospatial-Intelligence_Agency

NGA was formerly known as the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) and is part of the Department of Defense (DoD)... on 24 November 2003, NIMA was renamed NGA, to better reflect its primary mission in the area of GEOINT.

Bulletstorm devs saying the lack of memory was a bitch to deal with on consoles and not horsepower.

I won't pretend to know as much as many of you do, but this doesn't look like the most visually complex thing around. Oh well, maybe there's just a lot going on or something. Interesting that horsepower never played a part.

Just finished watching Being John Malkovich.

This movie is brilliant. What a trip. I had forgotten how incredibly dark it is, but man what a gripping screenplay and fantastic acting.

When I saw it in theaters 10 years ago I sat alone in my car for 20 minutes just thinking about it. It's just so good.

Monitors seem to have slowed in how they are growing.

I've got the itch to upgrade my monitor but there doesn't seem to be a clear awesome path.

I've had a Dell 2405 for a long time now, it's still great to be honest. It's the longest lasting part of my PC by far at about 5 years on now.

There seems to only be 2 options that are "upgrades". There's the 27" class and the 30" class.

The 27" ones seem ok, but some have the same res as the 24 (1920x1200, this would be ok I guess, it'd just be bigger and better). Even worse, some have LESS resolution at 1920x1080.

The 30" ones are expensive and have a few drawbacks (dual link DVI quirkiness, no OSD on a few of them). There doesn't seem to be a 30" that is aimed at the mid market, where it's still big and awesome, but not necessarily super accurate, kind of like the Dell 24 was 5 years ago.

What to do?
