The Legend Of Leeroy Jenkins

Shawn — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 02:54:38 +0000

Okay, after that other World of Warcraft video, I started looking around for other funny ones… This one is kind of funny… still no idea what they are talking about most of the time, but Leeroy runs in by himself and gets everyone killed.

Warcraft Raid Leader Goes Crazy

Shawn — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 00:17:36 +0000

I have no clue what half the stuff this guy is talking about, but this video is funny. I guess it was a Warcaft raid leader (leading and coordinating 40 people, so they are all listening to him) on some raid of a dragon’s den…

All I know is if I was in his raid group, I probably would fall out of my chair from laughing so hard and die anyway…

And whoever recorded him and then did the animation for it is a pretty funny guy… hah

World of Warcraft Via P2P

Shawn — Sun, 10 Dec 2006 04:38:51 +0000

It looks like Blizzard is one of the growing number of companies that have realized that peer-to-peer file sharing technology has some great uses. I just noticed they distribute World of Warcraft (full DVD and updates) via P2P technology. Cheaper because it uses the end user’s upstream bandwidth.

Neat!

Second Best Thing About Vegas

Shawn — Sat, 02 Dec 2006 23:44:03 +0000

When you are bored in the airport on a layover on the way to Chicago, you can win $2,000 on a $5 bet.

I played a total of $20 (I played 6 total hands for $5 each, winning my first hand also) on video poker with my last $5 and hit 4 2s and an ace on “Dues’ Wild Poker”. The only hand that would have paid more would have been a royal flush for $4,000.

Nevada Gaming Device

Shawn — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 03:30:27 +0000

One of the pictures that almost got us all thrown in jail. We took pictures of our poker table, which is forbidden because it’s a “Nevada gaming device”.

Uhm, how do you like your hand there Shoe’?

(picture ripped off from Shandy King, so if you want to arrest anyone, it’s him. I know nothing.)

Update

I saw on Shoemoney’s site that he found a video that Brent took (same guy that took the pictures… at least we know who should go to jail for recording/photographing a Nevada gaming device)…

Watch Guy Play Wii Live

Shawn — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 23:16:26 +0000

You can watch this guy play his new video game console for a week straight… Kind of funny actually, as you can hear him talking to his friends about how many people are watching him and them being surprised it hasn’t crashed yet.

Anti-Semitic Poker Dealer At Binions

Shawn — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 12:34:50 +0000

Played some poker tonight (this morning?), and we had George, a closet anti-semitic poker dealer for his 30 minute shift. George really liked us (especially Dax)… or not… it was hard to read his true feelings about us.

Hopefully someone will post the illegal pictures we took of a “Nevada gaming device”.

Update

I almost forgot one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen while playing poker… (comedy supplied by Dave).

Dave: {whispering to me} Does a 4 of a kind beat a flush?
Me: Yes.
Dave: {turning back to table} Okay, I’m all in.

Update 2

Man, it’s all starting to come back to me… (more comedy supplied by Jen). Cell phone text messages (none left out)…

Jen: (10:19 pm) Where u
Me: on way to binions
Jen: (12:24 am) Where u
Me: at binions
Jen: (1:51 am) Where u
Me: at binions, in poker room

Another Royal Flush

Shawn — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 07:41:13 +0000

I got a royal flush tonight while screwing around on a video poker machine (waiting for people to get to Binions for our real game).

Not quite as interesting as the other ones I got because it was against a computer (and 2s were wild). But whatever, paid a little money anyway…

Royal Flush Again, WTF?

Shawn — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 09:46:24 +0000

Dude, I played poker tonight and I got another royal flush (and then a few hands later quad queens). Thankfully this time I had some money to bet when I hit them.

Checkers Domination!

Shawn — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 05:04:28 +0000

I’ve been practicing checkers for a world event coming soon, and I pretty much dominated this guy I just played. I’m white, I’m going from bottom to top and it’s my move. As you can see, he only got a single one of my pieces.

I might actually be the most glorious checkers player to ever walk on the moon!

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Shawn — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 17:14:26 +0000

Thank God for this game because it is an utter time waster and I’ve had to lay around doing nothing the last few days. I don’t really like RPG games, but I got it for my Xbox 360 because it was the highest rated game for it, and there really wasn’t any games I was overly interested in.

But here’s a question for anyone who’s been playing it… Is there any merchant with more than 1,200 gold available to buy stuff? I have about 100,000 gp worth of Deadric weapons and armor (like a crap load of 5,000 gp Deadric Warhammers, Claymores, etc.), but I don’t want to sell them because I can only get 1,200 gp for them since that’s all the money the merchant has.

Royal Flush

Shawn — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 17:31:26 +0000

Played a little Texas Holdem poker last night, and I got a pretty decent hand… A royal flush.

But here’s the crazy part… a few hands later I got a straight flush (king high). Both hands were diamonds too.

More importantly, I have witnesses! hah

Too bad I lost overall for the night… Oh well…

Tony Hawk Model Test

Shawn — Sun, 30 Apr 2006 08:16:57 +0000

A lighting/model test for a future Tony Hawk game is looking pretty good. I assume this is for a next generation console (Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3).

Gears Of War

Shawn — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 03:03:39 +0000

Does anyone besides me think that the new generation of game consoles have *really* good graphics???

This is a actual game play screenshot from Gears Of War (for Xbox 360) which comes out later this year. Screenshots like that almost make me want to go buy an Xbox 360 and a new TV just to take advantage of it.

PS3 Pricing

Shawn — Wed, 05 Apr 2006 17:32:00 +0000

Rumor has it that pricing has been finalized on Sony’s forthcoming Playstation 3 at $499. $100 more than an Xbox 360, but you should get a LOT more features (like the ability to play high definition DVDs).

Gossip doing the rounds amongst Californian developers seeks to peg the price of Sony’s looming PlayStation 3, with the figure of $499 being bandied around quite actively in the last few days.

According to several sources, publisher-owned developers taking receipt of updated development kits have been briefed that the pricepoint is final.

Update

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has claimed reports that its senior staffers let slip how much the company plans to charge for the PlayStation 3 when the console ships next November are “incorrect”.

Instead, head of the the company’s French operation, Georges Fornay, says he was “misunderstood” when he appeared to indicate a price range for the PS3 during an interview with French radio station Europe 1 this week.

According to a GamesIndustry.biz report, SCEE said: “At no time did [Fornay] suggest or indicate a specific price point or price range for PS3, and any reports that he did so are incorrect.”

According to the SCEE, Fornay was simply saying the PS3 would cost more than most current videogame consoles, which are priced well below â‚¬500, but would still be much cheaper than standalone Blu-ray Disc players. The PS3 will, of course, operate as such a device.
