Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Feb 16, 2011 5:00am PSTHullo, Internet. You've caught me in the middle of panicking about losing everything on my hard drive, after a spot of repartitioning went pear-shaped. All my documents, my pictures, not to mention all my saved games and settings. It's a wee bit frustrating. I've had no luck with basic file recovery programs so I'll have to go deeper with one of those super mega fancy turbo-deep tools. Internet, learn a lesson from me: back up your files.
All this must wait until later, though. I'm off to see a man about a video game, so I'll leave you in the capable hands of the rest of the Shacknews news newsShack newsteam.
But couldn't they come up with better box art than this?

The app isn't showing the updated Giant Bombcast from yesterday but the desktop app does. It has been like this for awhile. Why does Apple put a delay on their 2 iTunes if they are the same store?
In particular, I am looking for the name of a disorder I have heard described in the past: A complete lack of empathy, and an inability to sympathize. I know this is commonly a symptom of psychopathy, but that implies narcissism and mood swings. Is there a term for a person that loses all emotion, and cannot read it in others? I want to say Sociopathy, but I don't think that is right.

So, I need some desktop headphones. Or as Korban would say head}y{n{o
Thing is...my head is pretty small not THAT head...pervs, so my DJ headphones , even when down to their smallest size, are pretty loose (and pretty heavy, but then again, they are DJ headphones, so I kind of expect it)
Im looking at something lightweight, with good sound quality. It will be hooked directly up to the headphone jack from my sound card, so it doesnt need any amps or crap like that...just a nice set of head phones that will be comfy on my small head.

The picture quality on this monitor is stunning really... produces very deep dark blacks and rich colors! The only downside and the reason I'm selling it, is ghosts a bit during gaming. It would still be a great 2nd monitor, if you want something for graphics/photos.

Did you game yesterday?
I'm nearing the end of the fighters guild quest chain in Oblivion, and it's fun but I'm really looking forward to starting the Dark Brotherhood stuff. When you join the DB do people treat you differently in the world? I'm mostly playing a good guy but I want to participate.
I actually had a weird moment last night where it kind of hit me that this beautiful game came out 5 years ago on the very console I was playing it on (X360) and that console doesn't even have an official successor in sight. It's not even that I think we need a hardware refresh either. It was just a moment of "oh hey, we're difficulty in a new era of console gaming".
My wife and I played You don't Know Jack and I'm SO glad the game hasn't changed. It's still extremely witty, fun and unique. I will probably pick up any DLC for it since we love the game so much,

I have a laptop here that on occasion closes the document/application after I save it. Does not happen all the time, but I have been able to duplicate the issue. Even when making a new word document, I click 'save as' give it a name and then the file/app closes. Google is failing me, because the only solution I see is reinstalling windows. Could it be a virus? I am running MBAM and SAV at the moment on it, nothing so far.

I'm trying to put some shows on my ipod. But how are you supposed to know which is each episode? I did 4 thinking they was the 4 on the disc. Look at them after and it was the same episode. Was using this other program but it keeps crashing on me now.

Plot is really good up until the whole WTF ending that's like playing through Metal Gear Solid 2. It still makes sense in a mind bending way. Game play is an intuitive click adventure puzzle game. Only downside is you have to beat the game multiple times (min of 2 if you know exactly what to do) in order to get the actual ending. You can skip text once you've seen it, but you have to redo all puzzles. That means if you're playing casually, it may take you awhile with multiple replays to get it (took me 6 tries).
It's a fun game though with the adventure puzzle aspect and an interesting storyline.

Beat the game last night on Normal no continues(took around 35-40min) I do find MvsC2 is a harder game on the same difficulty(espicaly the boss). Used Ryu, IronMan, and DeadPool.
FINALLY its freaking here! Many of you fighter fans and especial MvsC2 know what I mean it has taken forever for this game to even be announced.
I don't have to say weather to pick up this game for fighters, for you know that you just buy the next game in the most figter series no matter what, especial Capcom. When it comes to a new fighter by Capcom, you just buy it, thats that.
During my short play sesh I did notice the game is different than MvsC2 that is for sure, but it is similar too.
*keep in mind I did not read the manual or really go into much detail with the game if there is the old controls like in MvsC2 some please post*
Diff:
- Button layout is diff no more low and high kick buttons just low med and high (weird?) and special
- There is a special button
- Like Sf Alpha 2 you have a weird combo mode and you glow like a Evil Ryu or Akuma I am not sure what the deal is?
- A lvl 3 super move this is rad wanted this added and it is (SF3 does this)
- Swapping chars is weird you have to hold the button down just a tap is a other char special move. Don't really care for that.
Same:
- Combat feels pretty much exactly like MvsC2
- Same 3 on three
- Yeah its MvsC2 on steriods, not sure what else to say... graphics and animation are awesome!
Well like I said I juts fired it up and ripped through it on normal, all fighters know this is just the begging.
My thumbs where semi on fire after the sesh which is good I got to get back into the fighting have been sort of slacking.
I am sad that Venom and Cable are missing they where in my team :( lets hope they are added in the DLC.
Last comment I know there is a lot of things to learn in this game and I am gona be all over it, deffintly a must own for fighter fans no doubt.
After a while I will post again on how its been going.
Out \m/ anyone else get the game how it going?

Does this have the potential to be good or great??
is complete according to artistpavel. He and some others are just putting it through testing at the moment but he says February seems like the right month to release it. So we can probably expect this within the next two weeks hopefully!

So far I'm enjoying it, but I've got a pretty big quibble with it. 1) Granted I'm only five episodes into the first season but I don't think the show does an effective job and defining it's own internal logic. Here's what I mean. On Buffy the Vampire Slayer the show explains that Sunnydale is inhabited by various monsters and demons because the town is located above a Hellmouth, i.e. a doorway to Hell. Therefore within the logic of the show it's reasonable to understand the presence of such demons and whatnot.
The X-Files on the other hand doesn't do this. When Mulder and Scully are chasing down a serial killer Mulder posits that the killer is over a hundred years old (despite that he appears to be in his 20's), can stretch his body like Plastic Man, hibernates for 30 years at a time and eats human hearts to recharge its power source. And when Scully asks how this is all possible Mulder gives a throwaway line about how the killer must be a mutant. Sure enough when they catch the killer Scully explains that lab results show that yes the killer is a mutant. And with that, the case is closed.
Really? No explanation how he became a mutant? Not even a, "huh I wonder how that happened?" Shouldn't this be huge news? Scully the skeptic doesn't even seem that concerned. As a result the whole story feels a little flat.
All five episodes I've watched have felt like this. It's a bit anticlimactic. Mulder suspects weirdness, he investigates, the investigation is swept under the rug and the episode is over. Is this how the entire series is?
