Morning Discussion

by Xav de Matos, Jan 25, 2011 5:00am PST

Vacation's over. I really enjoyed my time away from work, exploring some of the great spots buried within Chicago. It was a hectic time in the city due to the face-off between the Bears and the Pack. It didn't turn out well for Bears fans.

What did turn out well was Never Not Funny, live at the Congress Theater. The show was hilarious as usual, Daver sang the theme and the crew sang along at the end. As an added bonus, I had the pleasure of meeting the crew. What a classy group of gentlemen.

Well, it's back to work for me. Next time I'll be sure to remember to take more than two days off. Maybe.

MD Magicka Thread (Updated)

The game is $9,99/â‚¬9,99 with a demo on Steam, which has local co-op. We need to get some Shackgroups going later.

3 hours left! Purchase before the 31st of January and get the "Wizard's Survival Kit" DLC for free.

Its an action RPG (similar to Gauntlet since there is no phat loot and no leveling) where you play a wizard. The fun thing is there are no classes and instead you combine spells, for example fire and water makes you throw steam. The story seems to have some humor in it as its parodying other generic fantasy games.
It also has 4 player co-op and will be priced at $9,99/â‚¬9,99.
The game seems to be mainly designed for coop since the friendly fire of the spells results in a lot of chaos.

People getting shoddy performance on good computers can try window mode, according to some shackers that did the trick.
