Evening Reading: All Because Myles Standish Was a Bad Shot
by Garnett Lee, Nov 24, 2010 5:00pm PSTThanksgiving Eve might not be as dramatic as Christmas Eve--as far as I know there's no turkey equivalent to 'Twas the Night Before Christmas--but it shares plenty of other similarities. There's lots of travel, friends and families gathered together, and a little step back from the day-to-day grind to appreciate what we have.
Whether or not you're celebrating the holiday, we hope you have a chance to enjoy some of these things. It's going to be a fairly quiet rest of the week from here on out. For tomorrow we have a couple things lined up including a preview of the Shacknews Holiday Guide, some exclusive new DC Universe Online screens, and a special holiday edition of Weekend Confirmed. And then on Friday we're breaking down holiday gift lists platform by platform as we give you the place to point anyone who asks the dreaded, "so, what do you want for Christmas?"
Here's a look at today's highlights on the Shack:
- Axl Rose Sues Activision Over Slash in Guitar Hero 3
- Call of Duty: Black Ops - 2D vs. 3D Stat Comparison
- NBA Jam Review
- Epic Shows Off the Newest Unreal Engine 3 Tech Trailer
And here's a couple things for when you need a break from the fam;
- This way over-the-top take on a Turduken is A bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a pig
- Aliens came for Thanksgiving, mistakenly arrived in Turkey
- Pretty much ridiculous, but awesome, Tomahawk in CoD: Black Ops
Call of Duty: Ghosts using voice commands for Xbox One Kinect
Star Wars Battlefront opportunity 'very exciting,' says EA
Ninja Theory announces mobile game Fightback
Sony explains why Gran Turismo 6 is not coming to PlayStation 4 (for now)
Valve forms Overwatch for CS:GO community to police itself

The big shocker why the shit is Gran Turismo 5 still in the wrapper and I have a big smile on my face equal to last week in Vegas at a Gentleman's Club with this amazing Russian Blond Chick(top 10 best days of my life)?
Splatterhouse FREAKING RULZ! \m/ I repeat FREAKING RULZ! \m/
Ok I gota calm down here one... two... three... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QOZlzW_44Q yeah thats right the game sports Metal music Mastadon, Lamb of God, Five FInger Death Punch(personal fav) and others while you battle. Now keep in mind the Metal music does not thrash 24/7 there is a great story and the pace is broken up.
Right the graphics, amazing look very hot on the 360, the gameplay what most care about. Freaking rad, like Dante's Inferno, God of War, Bayoneta, Darksiders, Devil May Cry 5 all my favs. Plays great awesome combos shit loads of moves. As for the button cues its only certain objects not timed and in combat only fatalities and if you get grabbed in not a cue fest(thank god).
Very awesome collect blood and unlock shit loads of moves. Man the BLOOD!!!!! EPIC it flows like Niagara Falls, the effects and everything are done so well. I got my arm freekin ripped off and I picked it up and put it back on or growed back I then used my old arm as a weapon.
Ok MK crew there are narly fatalities in this game if you love MK and want MK9 go buy this game.
Damn I love this game its made it to my instant classic list, for those that where worried it be a piece of shit have no fear it awesome. Oh yeah when you squish your first blood worms you will hear an awesome sound so cool.
I really should go try GT5 I waited for ever but I want to upgrade my dude and do more fatalities.... such a a catch 22.. any ways pimp evening \m/ anyone get this game?

This program has been continued to be updated for Windows 7 explorer changes.
There are several things in here you guys might like, there's some backwards shit (no smart comments please - even I use the new start menu, the old one is dead to me) but beyond that things like drive free space in the status bar and the + and - buttons on folders have been changed now, it really makes explorer a bit nicer under 7, check it out.

I never have any idea what I want for Christmas. I usually end up just listing games that I never ended up getting for myself. (My selection is a bit weak to be honest) So I ask you shack - what is on your wish list this year?
Then of course I will steal your ideas.

Every once in a long while, I get a reply to a really old post and it's fucking bizarre!
Today it was trove:
http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=24604730#itemanchor_24604730
Usually, when this happens it's some non-Shacker who doesn't know how the chatty works and probably got linked there from some website and then replied not knowing any better. But this time it was trove, who is as regular a poster as the best of us!

impressive engineer is impressive.
Same eurofag who made the hacked kinect for PC 3d realtime manipulation demo ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QrnwoO1-8A&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL ) that made waves a week ago - which has 1.5m views. Dude had my subscribe at whatever norswedanish is for "hello". MS revised supportive attitude of this type of tinkering may well be as a result in part of how impressive this guys work with kinect is - and it's popularity.
I say whatever "props" is in hopelish, sigur ros will know.

The Shattering is really, really good so far. I love the way the new quests flow from one to the other and I love how you never really have (so far) more than 4 or 5 in your quest log an any one time. Everything just moves so smoothly now. I went from 1-17 in two sessions and didn't even realize I was questing on green mobs because it was just fun to run the quests. There's a real nice variety so far.
