Quill

@quartata because 12yr olds can't afford their own servers

@RikerW I already voted

RikerW

@Geobits Unless you name it 'stray'.

quartata

@Quill More like because shitty servers just slap Pinion on and rake in the dough

Quill

12:16 AM

I'd name it Cat

Calvin's Hobbies

@Quill I meant the sausage tie

RikerW

Hint: BBQ Chicken.

quartata

Yeah but Quill is too good at it

Quill

12:19 AM

Yeah, we could all play CS:S or something

Cyoce

I have CS:GO and CS:S

Quill

@quartata More like @Cyoce

I have GO and Source

I prefer CS:S

@AlexA. same

12:19 AM

I wasn't that impressed with GO

Calvin's Hobbies

I petition that we stop talking about eating @Geobits' son, no matter how much his nickname sounds like a cereal or snack food.

Quill

If we all had Arma, now that'd be cool

quartata

I'm better at GO but Source feels more fun for whatever reason

Cyoce

@Quill I'm pretty bad. Nova 1

quartata

Do we all have TF2?

Cyoce

12:19 AM

I do

Alex A.

I dislike TF2

But I have it

El'endia Starman

How much are they?

Cyoce

$15 when not on sale

El'endia Starman

$2.49 for CS, $7.49 for CS:GO, $4.99 for CS:Source.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

IIRC

like 7$ for the cs collection in the last sale

quartata

@AlexA. go is $15 source is $20

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

too much

but looks like they're on sale

Source is more than GO?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I can only buy games under 0.01
