Game Development

Went to my parents house, and my girlfriend watch the Kardashians... I swear to god, they showed 5 minutes of commercials... 2 minutes of thrash kardashian garbage, then 5 more minutes of commercials, then I went on a huge rant

Kevin van der Velden

7:21 PM

@AlexM. in that fictional world BBC would indeed have a monopoly, this is not that fictional world

Alex M.

the way you said it made it sound like it was man

Almo

QED mother fucker.

:)

I gotta get this menu done :(

Jon

They pay 120$/month for TV

Alex M.

@Jon isn't the kardashians a commercial on its own?

Jon

I have no idea what it is to be honest.

Kevin van der Velden

7:22 PM

No, it is a horror show

Jon

They tape these stupid people, doing nothing all day long

basically just talking about other people

Alex M.

well

Jon

and they call it entertainment

Kevin van der Velden

Think Paranormal Activity but scarier

Noctrine

People love that stuff, and are entertained by it

Alex M.

7:22 PM

look at it this way

SpartanDonut

What I don't get is people telling me I should "at least watch the Super Bowl for the commercials"

Alex M.

actually don't

Jon

Then Cosmos comes on, and the same people think it is stupid

put it back to kardashians

Alex M.

@SpartanDonut are the commercials good or sth?

Noctrine

@SpartanDonut Wooo for youtube.

Kevin van der Velden

7:23 PM

@Jon conclusion: Those people are the problem

Icy Defiance

Cosmos had surprisingly good viewership, at least for the first episode

Noctrine

@AlexM. Reasonably good. Companies pay a ton of money to get a spot so they go all out on production.

Kevin van der Velden

@AlexM. they're expensive! They're still commercials though so they're by definition not good

Icy Defiance

viewership? I think that's a word.

Kevin van der Velden

@Noctrine "a ton"? I believe it's several tons

Alex M.

7:24 PM

so premium shit instead of usual shit?

Jon

And not only does TV have too many commercial time -- They are not putting Ads inside of the tv shows

SpartanDonut

I watched like... a quarter of the Super Bowl this year and I was not at all impressed. I feel like the quality has gone down hill, personally.

Jon

(albeit not as apparent, they are still there)

Alex M.

people and their sports

I'll never get that

Icy Defiance

@AlexM. premium shit with humor and a touch of controversy that will keep the christians angry for another year. it's great.

Kevin van der Velden

7:24 PM

O.o

> the average cost of a 30-second advertisement was around $4 million

Jon

superbowl -- 10 minutes of actual game time -- 3 hours of commercials and shots of players walking around

Kevin van der Velden

Uuhm... hmm

I just realised I'm not 100% sure what game is played during the superbowl

Noctrine

30 second slot is like 500k I think

Alex M.

man sucks to be sick

Noctrine

(locally)

Alex M.

7:25 PM

can barely breathe

I use this

Xylometazoline

Xylometazoline (also known as xylomethazoline) is a drug which is used as a topical nasal decongestant. It is applied directly into the nose, either as a spray or as drops. Xylometazoline is marketed under many brand names (see below), with the typical adult solution strength being 0.1% w/v xylometazoline, and the dose for children under 12 being 0.05%. It should not be used for too long a period of time, or rebound effect may occur after discontinuation (see: Rhinitis medicamentosa). Mechanism of action The drug works by constricting the blood vessels in the nose. The decongestant eff...

Kevin van der Velden

Ooh american football

Alex M.

but I don't want to abuse it

because yeah

Jon

I'm sick too dude

Kevin van der Velden

I half thought it was baseball or something =/

erebel55

sick here too

Alex M.

7:26 PM

@Jon shit we're so much alike you and I

Jon

I know right

LOL

Noctrine

World series slots are about 450k

Alex M.

but I feel like shit

Jon

That is from actual data.

Alex M.

Noctrine got jealous there

BlueBug

7:27 PM

xD

Alex M.

hehehhehehehehehhehehhehehehheheheh

Jon

I'd sleep with you, but then i'd be gay

SpartanDonut

@Noctrine from your perspective, how often does one replace a tablet like the one you've got? At about half the price I could probably justify the 13in one a lot easier than the 22in. Plus saving on desk space would be nice. Also I guess your thoughts on the size difference would be appreciated.

Alex M.

OR

Jon

I don't wanna turn gay

Alex M.

7:27 PM

bisexual

Jon

hehehe

Icy Defiance

@Jon but when players are standing around or replays are being shown, things are still happening. it's part of the game. like if you know what's going on, between the huddle and the snap you can see people moving around and repositioning. each play starts looooong before the snap happens.

Noctrine

@SpartanDonut Don't get the 24" get the 22 or the 13. They are so much more portable.

Alex M.

nothing is wrong with exploring more than the typical human does you know

Noctrine

And not at all.

Jon

7:28 PM

Still boring :)

Kevin van der Velden

@Noctrine I don't know where you get your numbers from but Superbowl hit 4 million dollars for a 30 second advertisement last year

Also, links are still super hard to detect in this stylesheet

Icy Defiance

they really are

Noctrine

@KevinvanderVelden Not the total production cost

I mean, the timeslot by itself

SpartanDonut

@Noctrine so basically until it breaks where its not a good idea economically to fix? Do you think you would dislike the 13" due to the reduced size?

Kevin van der Velden

7:29 PM

@Noctrine oh bloody hell you're right

Noctrine

@SpartanDonut Essentially.

I can't imagine any advancement that'd be so awesome that it effectively becomes useless.

Alex M.

I think I'll extend my sick leave until the 30th

because why not

Jon

wouldn't wanna start a epidemic

Alex M.

yes

and in my condition I cannot develop games properly in C#

through such moments of pain only Lisp can alleviate the horror

SpartanDonut

@Noctrine 4k tablets obviously

Alex M.

7:33 PM

I do not want to break the company's assets (i.e. source code)

SpartanDonut

Kidding but yeah ok

Jon

S5 records at 4K

but can only play at 1080

SpartanDonut

?

Different kind of tablet I'm afraid

Alex M.

I want to drink a beer but when I can't breathe properly I don't feel like doing anything

Jon

dude, hydrate with water

don't dehydrate and get sicker with beer.

Alex M.

7:34 PM

already doing it

the water thing

Jon

I've snotted so much in the past 3 days

No idea where all this snot is coming from

its like almost impossible to generate at this rate

Alex M.

the mass of your snot exceeds your mass + the mass of the snot itself

Jon

I should make a game based on my experience

Kevin van der Velden

Soon we will all be sucked into the snot-singularity

Alex M.

do it

snot tycoon

you overclock your nose to produce more snot

Kevin van der Velden

7:36 PM

Snot Clicker

Jon

lol

Alex M.

lol

Kevin van der Velden

That is all

You may now bask in my brilliance

Jon

click the nose, get snot

Alex M.

@BlueBug DUDE

GET THOSE FLUID PHYSICS DONE

WE'VE GOT THE GOTY HERE

Jon

7:37 PM

we need it now.

SpartanDonut

@Noctrine if only the companion were cheaper! That's the route I'd go

Jon

make sure to add viscosity variables so we can fine tune it for snot

Kevin van der Velden

And @JoshPetrie immediately backs out of the chat

SpartanDonut

The Hybrid looks compelling though

I'd prefer Windows 8 though

BlueBug

Alex M.

7:39 PM

hahaha

=))))

Jon

lol

Alex M.

it's fucking

team rocket

SpartanDonut

blasting off at the speed of light

Alex M.

please make more

Kevin van der Velden

FTC just cleared facebook's purchase of Oculus VR

Alex M.

7:40 PM

noctrine and rolf are both old enough compared to us to be considered antique

they're mature enough to not get upset

BlueBug

I will post this whenever your message gets deleted.

Jon

So... the rift is turning into a social experiment... ugh

Noctrine

3 years on you is antique?

Alex M.

you're only 3 years older than me?

Noctrine

Yes

Alex M.

7:41 PM

shit man

you're some serious kid

SpartanDonut

@KevinvanderVelden is this really a surprise? Not to me at least.

Jon

Sure, it would be cool to be able to create a virtual avatar, and go into a real life chat room

But christ.. thats just a toned down game

Alex M.

it's fine

Kevin van der Velden

@SpartanDonut Nope, there's really no legal reason to prevent it

Alex M.

dating sims are the only purpose of VR anyway

BlueBug

7:42 PM

I can handle 3 years. I am ok as long as you are under 30. slips in phone number

Alex M.

everyone knows

Noctrine

@Jon Everything from all the people at Oculus have said that Oculus is still gonna be oculus. I imagine facebook is gonna put together a team to make the social stuff they want.

Jon

Zuckerberg never said Game anywhere

and he is the owner.

Noctrine

The people they have working there all seem generally smart enough to avoid their vision being changed completely by newcomers.

No. Facebook is the owner.

Alex M.

zuckerberg doesn't play games

Noctrine

7:42 PM

Companies buy companies

Alex M.

he's a ceo

Jon

He is the majority share holder.

Alex M.

did you ever hear steve jobs say

Noctrine

More than CEO, shareholder and chairman status are the things. CEO is just an employee

BlueBug

51%?!

Alex M.

7:43 PM

"man I fucking railed that fucker last night in quake 3"

Jon

lol

Noctrine

Zuckerberg made it really, really hard for him to lose control of facebook.

BlueBug

he has 51%?! "50% >" == control?!

Jon

Oh well, Sony is developing their own

So by their 3rd revision, it might actually be decent

Noctrine

A lot of people are getting into the VR space now that Oculus has shown that it can be done well, and interest is there.

Jon

7:44 PM

I think it is the future.

of entertainment

Noctrine

Zuck is currently at like 28.4%

Jon

why watch TV, when you can be inside TV

Noctrine

But he created multiple share types, the type he holds gives him considerably more voting power than those that others have.

Like 10 times the voting power.

SpartanDonut

284% of the control?!?! :O

BlueBug

OH WOW. SUCH POWER

Alex M.

7:45 PM

ZUCKERBERG IS PUTIN

Jon

There was this conversation that was leaked, from his early years at harvard

Where he called his users idiots for posting all their data on his site

theregister.co.uk/2010/05/14/facebook_trust_dumb

Noctrine

He admitted to it also :p

Jon

Yup.

Noctrine

Pretty trustworthy act I'd say, based on the contents of it :p

Most companies would have denied it, and gone after charges for defamation

Jon

It just goes to show what type of person he is.

Alex M.

7:47 PM

you know who didn't stop by in a while

grey

BlueBug

exam mid term, I remember.

Noctrine

@Jon What type is that?

Jon

The type that doesn't give a shit about his users

Alex M.

@BlueBug oh

I thought he was upset because of me or sth

bah what am I saying

of course he wouldn't be

Noctrine

I'd say that pushing it away would say that more

Alex M.

7:48 PM

grey is my tiny little exotic lovebird <3

BlueBug

grey we luv u <3

Jon

But I guess, if you are willing to divulge personal information about yourself to a 3rd party .. you are a dumb fuck

Alex M.

<3

Noctrine

And it more speaks to the type of person he was

Kevin van der Velden

Come back @Grey, or wait until you finish your midterms

Alex M.

7:49 PM

lol

Kevin van der Velden

Probably the second one is best

Noctrine

Shouldn't he have finished by now? I think pip said he got sick or something

Alex M.

pip is sick too?

HEAR THAT JON?

BlueBug

me going for walk, ttyl.

Noctrine

That grey got sick

Alex M.

7:50 PM

he's like us too

Jon

epidemic.

Alex M.

oh

Jon

we should start a programming crew... me you and grey

The Sickos

Alex M.

lol

Noctrine

Also yeah - I'd probably think the same way. People putting personal information on the internet is like--- woah.

Alex M.

7:50 PM

we're going to make a pokemon-like game

with our viruses as pokemons

Jon

gotta catch em all

Alex M.

lol

protip

headbanging and snot

don't go well together

Jon

also, if you perform coitus, make sure the girl is on top

Alex M.

snort

wouldn't worry about that good sir

myself of course

Jon

make sure you are on bottom then

lulz

Bagofsheep

7:56 PM

Hello. Are we allowed to ask questions and share code in here?

Alex M.

my google tab still points towards iGoogle

RIP iGoogle

@Bagofsheep yeah mate

because I love bags and sheeps

SpartanDonut

@Bagofsheep it's encouraged. Though large amounts of code should be linked from pastebin or other similar service

Alex M.

I'll also shut up while you post it

@Noctrine see? I was good there.

fucking hell man you shouldn't have told me your age

Bagofsheep

Alright, well I have a question currently going on the site and no on has answered it. To be fair, it is a rather difficult question and I've nearly given up trying to fix it. I will just share the link instead of retyping the entire question here and if you'd like to give it a shot but need additional information just ask.

Alex M.

now I know you're a little kid who's acting like a grown up

Kevin van der Velden

7:58 PM

@AlexM. heh, I shouldn't have looked it up

Noctrine

@AlexM. It's right there on my profile.

Kevin van der Velden

You're both bloody younger than I am =p

Alex M.

I don't open moderator profiles

I'm paranoid
