Evening Reading: My Friends Are Game Dev Story Obsessed
by Garnett Lee, Oct 18, 2010 5:00pm PDTWell the games of fall are really pouring in now. Fallout: New Vegas this week, Fable 3 and Rock Band 3 next, and the Kinect launch and Black Ops right around the corner. Add in all the assorted others and it's easy to get completely inundated. Yet over the weekend it seemed like all I heard people talking about was Game Dev Story for the iPhone/iPod.
Here's what we've been talking about on the Shack today:
- World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Cinematic Trailer
- Steam Surges Past 30 Million Accounts with 178% Growth Over Last Year
- First DLC for Fallout: New Vegas Exclusively on 360 This Holiday Season
- Blizzard Sues Three StarCraft 2 Hackers
And a few random things to wrap up Monday with:
- If you haven't yet, watch our very own Del Rio make his debut in Steph and Lance Go To Compton. Seriously, it's funny.
- Why does it not surprise me Justin Bieber pitched a fit when he flunked his driver's license test
- Part of that ridiculous sum of money Microsoft plans to spend marketing Kinect will be paying to get Kinect on 'Oprah' and 'Ellen'

Just built a low-budget HTPC. It keeps randomly resetting on its own (boots into win7, waits a bit, then resets). I've run MEMTEST and the memory is fine. It's a Sempron 140, on a Biostar board with onboard video.
The PSU is a 430 watt Thermaltake.
I think it's the PSU, but I'm not sure (nor do I have one to test with).

Someone on my facebook was passing around a link today for a dog needing work done and taking donations on ChipIn.com.
http://helpfiona.chipin.com/jada
I dont know what it is about this dog, but i felt the need to help it, and so did Earl Greigh. Of the $600 donated, we donated $200 each of that total of $600.
Im not asking people to donate, i just want to know if there is anyone out there that has done something similar for no reason at all.
Also, anyone looking to adopt this dog after it gets the work done?

Well this is odd. I logged in today for the first time in probably 8 months to find several weird things. Many pieces of gear on my characters (mainly 2) has been destroyed or sold or something. For instance, I'm still wearing all of my priest's (Greatscot) Tier 6 gear but some of the other items that aren't Tier gear have been deleted or removed. I no longer have any weapons but am holding benediction which I remember I equipped before I logged out for the last time months ago.
On the surface it seems like I got hacked somehow (not sure how that's possible but...), the weird thing is on one of my other characters I have full Ulduar gear and over 6000g on the character. What in the world, surely a hacker would have taken advantage of that.
Is this some weird bug? Does anyone have any idea how this could have happened or heard of this happening to anyone? What sort of recourse do I have? An example is I was going to level up my Warlock but he has absolutely no gear whatsoever and is sitting at level 60. This is bizarre. I guess you can't buy artifact items with gold can you?

Jeff Gerstmann's coverage of it ranks among my favorite moments of the Bombcast Season 3. It was in the 6/8/2010 Bombcast starting at about 52:20, and the news article's here: http://www.giantbomb.com/news/no-one-is-more-authentic-than-kid-rock/2086/
He's an asshole
