Evening Reading: Zombies Seven Years in the Making
A friend sent me an email about a UT2004 mod titled Out of Hell that came out a couple days back. UT2004? Really? I read a little more and he tells me that the whole thing was done by this one guy working on it for the past seven years. By that point I was like, okay, whatever. But there was a trailer so I checked it out. Glad I did. It's an impressive piece of work. We got it up on FileShack so if you're into that sorta thing go get it and have at: Out of Hell 2009 mod on FileShack

Someone asked in one of the recent threads about what happened to the reading part of Evening Reading. Uh...well, in the wake of Nick's departure I just dropped the ball. So without further ado it returns:
And now off to enjoy the rest of Wednesday evening!
So the game takes place in the Arctic, under the sea, in a giant castle, and, oh yeah, in space!

About 25 hours in, I've leveled to 27 with my Soldier and... I think I'm kinda burned out by the game. I've just came from a game with yacoub, sheepraper and Xevo and, while fun, the game keeps getting more and more stale for me. It's very repetitive, the enemies don't level up very well and don't pose much of a challenge against a 4-people group. The loot aspect is kinda fun, but it's almost like the only positive thing, as the "plot" is horrible and the quests are very uninteresting. I don't know if I like the sound effects (they sound a little weak) and there are a lot of clipping issues, not to mention the horrible UI and lacking graphical effects that add to the immersion/ambience. I feel like I'm constantly fighting to like the game, but it's just too unpolished as it is right now and as there's no patch in the horizon or any word about it from Gearbox, I think I'll take a break from it and come back later - DAO and L4D2 wait for me.

Lunatic you were right, Brady is a system QB! It's just a system no one else can run effectively.
Also, can't stop lolling the Jets continuing to trash talk and call the Dolphins shitty. I hope they finish with a losing record, that would be glorious.
I'm trying to get the mounting apparatus on right now, and these push pins are complete bastards. I really don't understand why they couldn't just use regular screws like normal people use. These pins absolutely do not seem like they can fit in the mounting holes. They just don't. I can't see how it's possible. I'm kind of fucked if I can't get this thing on too, because the heat sink comes with thermal paste pre-applied, I've already cleaned the old stuff off my CPU, and I have no other paste or grease (my fault I know, can't do anything about it right now).
Am I missing something blindingly obvious about how to fasten these push pins? I can't see what else to do. This is really frustrating. It's a socket 775 board, and the documentation explicitly says that socket is supported.

All day, Google Updater has been bugging me for my password every couple hours. It's never had to do this before, and I don't know why it's running. The only thing I have installed is Google Earth and the Picasaweb Export tool. Has anyone heard anything strange about this?

Really? I play WoW, a lot. I have 3 80's that are raiding 25 man ToGC (highest raid in the game); and I think this is retarded.
Seriously, wtf? At least with the trading card items it seemed somewhat interesting (and from what I read the card game itself seemed pretty cool, though I have never bought the or even seen the first card myself). This, however, is just ridiculous.
So long as Blizzard continues to make sure that all these little extras amount to nothing more than vanity items I suppose I don't have that much of an issue with them (but I still think people spending money on this shit are retarded) but if they ever cross that line I will be the first to cancel my account.
TLDR; Blizz is removing any doubt that they really are money grubbing whores (that happen to make excellent fucking video games).

Can we talk about it again?
Did anyone else giggle at the strained bandwagon metaphor? I'll check out the next ep, but I'm not really expecting an improvement. I really wanted this show to be good :(

And finally, our Quarterly Competition: Fall 2009 has begun! This is the competition where you submit your BEST picture that you've taken from September 1st through November 30th, and we start voting on Dec 1. There is no theme for this competition (IE, it does not have to be seasonally themed) as the goal is to pick the best photograph taken by Shackers this quarter. If you like taking pictures, but haven't joined the group yet, this is a great place to jump in.

Something that will keep my mind off the fact THAT I AM FLYING THROUGH THE FUCKING AIR and that has only come out in the past year. I have all the "classic" games that came out at or near release (New Super Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Phenoix Wright, etc.).

What's the matter, Randy? The Steam sales of Borderlands weren't up to your expectations? And how about that patch for the PC version? How's that coming along?
Yeah, Valve said some pretty silly things about the PS3, but you neglected to mention that Gabe apologized to PS3 owners earlier this year. And I did some research into when Lombardi recently said something negatively about the PS3 and I couldn't find it...care to share where you got that info?

There would be higher art aspects to use for the game due to a more recent PC port (Japanese only).
However, I think that we may have to revive www.wiikilledmytelevision.com, because the only action that would make this game cool would be INTENSE finger pointing for shouts of "OBJECTION!"
I was planning on buying this game, but man...this made me want to go ahead and get it over with and secure that pre-order (PC)!
I couldn't find a vid on youtube. But, hopefully you saw it too!
