Being Cheap Mens

I actually spent time cutting coupons today and just paid $80 for $210 in groceries. You could see the "fuck this" on the peoples faces behind me when I pulled out the stack at the register.

Hey let's keep the ShackCon conversation going!
http://bit.ly/ShackConSurvey2
We got over SIXTY more responses today... which brings our total around 160 responses total. KEEP THEM COMING :)

To clear up some details :
- This will be a weekend/long weekend (Friday-Sunday) event.
- It will be held in Las Vegas.
- It's looking like it will be in the Summer of 2011, specifically June or July, based on survey results.
- The main event will probably be some sort of large dinner banquet and party on Saturday night.
- The rest of the weekend will be filled with options based on survey results and also based on the number of registrants. We aren't going to over-plan your weekend for you, but we do want to make sure that people have the option to do different things, and we want to make it as convenient as possible to do them.
- It's gonna 0wn.

so back in the day, Bruce Campbell was pissed at 3DRealms for Duke ripping off Evil Dead.

V: Are you familiar with the game Duke Nukem 3-D? If so, are you aware of the similarities between its lead character and Ash in the way of mentality and catch phrases? Are you flattered by this sort of "borrowing" of your work?

BC: What can I say? Maybe they're just cheese-balls who can't conceive of an original idea and feel compelled to rip off Ash. Imitation is indeed a form of flattery, but paying a guy is an even better form.

that's super lame of them. hail to the king, indeed.

Are there any game franchises (at least 2 entries) that have definitively closed the book on their story? Games that left nothing on the table left to build a story on. Franchise over, and complete.

I understand leaving things open for a sequel, but even famous movie series and trilogies eventually expire. I'm having a hard time finding cases in games where that's happened.

So the five year old kid 'Mikael' won the contest and are now the next Lano kid. He will be on every Lano refiller in Norway. The article headline 'Hacker forum takes credit for Mikaels Lano victory' - referred to 4chan that supposedly is behind most of the votes. There's a screenshot of a recent 4chan thread that says 'We did it! Its all over the news!"

Continued from Weekend Discussion/Morning Discussion:

Summer is over, come play WoW

Shugashack - the Mal'Ganis horde shack guild is cooking, lots of members reaching 80, and lots of very generous shackers getting guild members all kinds of crazy gear. Its a good time to resub and get your game on.

Get onto Mal'Ganis and do a /join shacknews - ask for an invite in there!

We had easily a half dozen+ signups from the weekend thread, and we broke 150 members today, so I'm keeping it moving, as Labour Day is still part of the weekend.

rant about WoW:

so I started playing about 2 weeks ago, after quitting about 5 years ago. got to lvl 60 stupidfast, now at lvl 70 and taking things slow.

holy shit, the average player is a fucking retard. I guess that's the result of making everything so easy, but wow. I was remembering the days of UBRS with sap, sheep, MT and MA, and wiping for good reasons. it seems all people know how to do is tank and spank now.

I play a lock, and always soulstone the healer. friends aside, I have seen dozens of healers use their soulstones in the middle of an overwhelming, inevitable wipe, only to die 2 seconds later. when i ask why they didn't want to use it, and res everyone afterwards, I get "I didn't think of that"
seriously? you're lvl 70+ and you've never learned to pull properly(tank), keep aggro down(dps/heal), or avoid wipes(healer)?

these people are getting rewarded with godly gear, too.

it's impossible to find groups for BC heroics. I have never finished one. it's always a wipe on the first or second pull. repeatedly. please tell me this improves at 80.

Dognose, have you ever seen this:

http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/Rampage/70138768?trkid=1277225

Rampage:
"Dejected by the futility of his tedious life, bitter small-town resident Bill (Brendan Fletcher) takes matters into his own hands by constructing a bulletproof outfit, picking up his semi-automatic weapons and attempting the largest killing spree ever seen. Written and directed by controversial filmmaker Uwe Boll, this ultra-violent action movie features jarring handheld camerawork and original dialogue largely improvised by the cast."

Director: Uwe Boll
