Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Jan 06, 2011 5:00am PSTWhile I hugely enjoy GOMtv's StarCraft II tournaments, they don't half go by quickly. The sheer volume of games in the early rounds of the third season overwhelmed me, coming so fast that I was soon twenty games behind. I attempted to catch up but there's so much to read, watch, visit and play that I only got further and further behind.
I'm catching up on Season 3, though, very slowly. I'm near the end of the first semi-final match, meaning I only have two and a bit games to go until I... start catching up on the new season already underway. At least I'll always have SC2 to watch when I want it.

Otherwise known as the game you should be playing. For those who don't know, it's a free oldschool DM game built on the Quake 2 engine. Essentially, they combined the best parts of Quake and UT. It's come a long ways since I first played it years ago, to the point where I think it's more fun than Quake Live. The problem is that the player base is rather anemic, leading to the reason behind this post:
A few fellow shackers and I have recently begun playing it fairly regularly and we are trying to get more people to join in the action. None of us are really hardcore into DM, but it's an exciting change of pace from other games. I've so far solicited to a few people with positive results, so I imagine there are others who might enjoy playing. If we get enough, a private server may be a possibility, but right now there are plenty of servers to hijack. The existing community has been surprisingly inviting so far, and skill level is all over the board so it's not like everyone playing is godlike (though there are some solid players).
You can download the game here: http://www.warsow.net/
Depending on interest, I may create a Steam group tonight, but for now just post here if you're interested or have questions or whatever. All two of you.

Monoprice has CAT6 solid in bulk. One shacker mentioned I should get solidcore. Is solidcore the same as solid? And should I worry if the monoprice bulk isn't CAT6a? Or is Cat6a only for servers?

As a hardcore gamer and one who favors my PC above all I have to say that Valve's Boss man comment made me cringe and actually feel offended or like Valve has no freeking clue about PC gaming. Shhhh don't tell anyone 4, 8 and 12(math = logic core + HT) cores have been out for a long time, allot of us PC gamers have been gaming with these rigs for years its not new.
Hey Valve I will give you a hint about PC gaming its called a graphics card, google it, its gona blow your mind.
Here is the quote Gabe Newell made in the article.
- With the studio developing Portal 2 with the "Sandy Bridge" specifically in mind, Valve boss Gabe Newell took to the stage at the Consumer Electronic Show and said "It's a real game changer for us. This allows for a console like experience on the PC."
Don't get me wrong Sandy Bridge is awesome and will probably allow all PC gamers to be at least at 4 core for those that are stuck at 2, since the price is so good. But the new 2nd gen Intel HD gpu in it is only DX 10.1 and no where up to snuff to any of our current GPU stand alone cards that we already have. Then again you get that GPU for free in the CPU. The thing is anyone that is a PC gamer would never opt for onboard GPU.
Very weird comment, I don't get it. Our current comps are pimp, I have a 12core i7 980x setup for a while now my comp has been able to smash consoles for years. Shit when I had a quad core I could smash consoles even further back.
What do you PC gamers think of this comment from Valve? Did he have good intentions, maybe I miss interpreted his comment.

Hope the Shack guild needs another Priest. Hit level 9 last night since Dantastic is an absolute failure at playing this game. Oh and embarassingly enough, I died last night.... ran out of mana and just died. I'm a complete disgrace.
That's all I've got. Discuss.

"We are aware of this, and are currently looking into it," Sony told us in a brief statement. "We will fix the issues through network updates, but because this is a security issue, we are not able to provide you with any more details."
Sony’s response is at odds with comments given to the BBC yesterday by fail0verflow member pytey, who said: "The complete console is compromised -- there is no way back.
"The only way to fix this is to issue new hardware. Sony will have to accept this."
Stay tuned for more PS3 system software updates, I guess.
