4:00 AM
The video that sums up me is probably this one
 
@Mana IT'S COOL GUY
Watch till the end.
This never gets old.
I love the guy in the background taking the cans out of the microwave.
@WorldEngineer One more that should give you some insight:
Of course, how could I forget He-Bro.
 
user20683
Gnomeslice you are what happens when someone overdoses on 4Chan, Adult Swim and the Residents
 
@WorldEngineer I don't go to 4chan, ever. Never heard of the Residents, and don't like that many adult swim things.
 
user20683
 
(language warning in that last one)
 
user20683
4:08 AM
This is one of their most "normal" songs
 
@WorldEngineer Oh...
This immediately reminded me of:
 
user20683
 
@WorldEngineer To be honest, I think I've heard enough.
You want something creepy?
This is such an amazing short film.
Then there's that...
 
things went south tonight pretty quick
 
@IanPugsley Quiet, you.
 
4:14 AM
I'm just saying, we went from He-Man to...that stuff
 
@IanPugsley Which stuff?
 
@GnomeSlice We should try to figure out what that one Austra video is supposed to be about sometimes.
 
@IanPugsley Did you even WATCH the he-man video?
 
@GnomeSlice Loving the mountain
 
@Mana You're going through my favourites too?
I have no idea what that song is about.
 
4:15 AM
@GnomeSlice ja
 
GOD, I'M SO SENSITIVE.
 
@GnomeSlice well except that I linked that song to you in the first place
@GnomeSlice and that one too
 
@GnomeSlice I've seen it before, it's funny but not creepy
 
@Mana I know.
 
I GIVE YOU ALL YOUR GOOD MUSIC AND YOU GIVE ME NOTHING
 
4:16 AM
@IanPugsley I wasn't talking about that. That wasn't the creepy one.
 
maybe this is what it's like to have a son.
 
This one is.
 
yeah, watching it atm
 
@Mana, Also, I'm not sure if I ever linked you this but it's absolutely incredible.
It's honestly one of the most powerful pieces of music I've ever heard.
 
@GnomeSlice this is pretty good
 
4:20 AM
 
doesn't really stick with me though.
 
This is not.
@Mana Only problem is I can't figure out if the man is Paulina or Tasha.
I should probably stop.
OH GOD, BUT NOW I CAN'T.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I would assume it was Tasha.
 
@GnomeSlice pretty sure the far left guy is on Five Second Films now
 
4:22 AM
@Mana by the way, have you seen these?
Not that last one, I was talking about the Animusic.
OH GOD HOW DID I FORGET THIS ONE
Cartoon nudity warning in that one.
 
sees chat is full of links
 
bets that it's Gnomeslice
 
Oh god, that last one... the movie trailer...
 
@GnomeSlice I always feel so sorry for Telly Polk at the end of the Sex Offender Shuffle video.
4
 
4:26 AM
Rats, I'm out of Favourites.
I mean, I could have easily linked a billion bigfoot videos.
 
@GnomeSlice next time I recommend letting people watch at least 1/8 of a video before posting the next one
 
@Mana That was the most profoundly perplexing video I can remember seeing.
 
maybe even 1/4
 
@IanPugsley I was just projectile posting them.
You can watch them sequentially.
 
@GnomeSlice maybe when I have 10 hours to waste watching Gnomeslice videos
...which I actually do. Holy crap, I love winter vacation.
 
user15026
4:29 AM
I have two more exams to write before I can devote time to watching videos XD
 
@Mana Hooray! I'd celebrate with you, but I don't know how.
Here's an asian kid on a pug..
 
@RavenDreamer Me, you, drinks?
 
@Mana We should. Except for the whole, "you're in Canada" thing.
 
@AshleyNunn You're playing games on Steam.
 
@RavenDreamer Where do you live again?
 
4:31 AM
@Mana Amurica.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Hush, you.
 
North Carolina
 
ahh
 
With @DaveMcClelland
Not, actually with Dave.
But we share the state.
Just us. No one else.
 
Hot.
 
4:31 AM
@RavenDreamer me and the wife (@spugsley) and @OrigamiRobot are crying now
 
user20683
 
user20683
new Nightwish stuff is made of ridiculous awesome
 
RAVEN DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SHARE...ALL HE KNOWS IS HOW TO HURT FEELINGS
 
@IanPugsley Because I just kicked you out of my state? Filthy hangerson!
 
@WorldEngineer ... "Your dear innoncence boiled to feed the evil"?
 
4:32 AM
apparently I am just 'the wife'
 
to be fair I am a carpetbagger, moved here from MD
 
I AM A @#$*ING SHARK! I DO NOT SHARE!
2
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer huh. I didn't know there was new Nightwish. Neat.
 
@spugsley Great. Now I'm picturing you and Ian as Hermes and LaBarbra.
 
user20683
The album is out in the U.S. Jan 10
 
4:33 AM
@RavenDreamer haha not as inaccurate as I'd hope
 
@WorldEngineer Have you by chance heard of 'blackguard'?
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer Awesome. Will have to keep my eye on that.
 
I am roughly Hermes-shape
 
user20683
 
4:34 AM
@IanPugsley Do you have olympic medals in both Limbo and Sex?
 
user20683
This album proves more than the last one that they have absurd range
 
Actually, don't answer that.
 
wow
though @GnomeSlice isn't really part of this conversation, I'm pretty sure it's his fault
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Oh, I like Blackguard. I saw them when I went to a Symphony X concert a while back.
 
@WorldEngineer I like the vocalist better in Nightwish than Blackguard.
I used to be really into metal.
 
user15026
4:35 AM
@GnomeSlice I like the newer vocalist in Nightwish better than the old one.
 
user20683
Tarja was good but always a tad too much
 
@WorldEngineer read that as "absurd rage," now I'm disinterested
 
@GnomeSlice I remember that
 
I still can't believe that that vocalist is a man.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I can sorta hear it, but it is hard to believe.
 
user20683
4:37 AM
the first voice or the second
 
user20683
the first voice is a man
 
user20683
the second could be either
 
@WorldEngineer A skylit drive's vocalist is a man.
OH GOD.
 
4:37 AM
Have you people heard of Insomnium?
 
user15026
 
user15026
This song just always makes me happy in the middle.
 
@AshleyNunn LOL at the top comment.
 
@GnomeSlice heard of them, haven't heard them
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Haha I didn't notice that.
 
4:38 AM
@IanPugsley Oh jeez.
 
not really into melodeath anymore
 
Insomnium is one of the most incredible bands I've ever heard.
I used to listen to their albums on repeat for hours.
People complain about the vocalist, and I agree, the vocals... don't really suit the rest of the music.
But Christ are these guys good.
@Mana You know them, right?
 
@spugsley just replied to my last post ("not into melodeath anymore") in meatspace with "No, you're into wub wubs."
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice If I could have teh background without the vocals I would be happy forever.
 
@IanPugsley <3 the wub wubs.
@AshleyNunn I didn't like it at first. It grows on you.
That album is beautiful.
Oh man, listening to this is making me want to get back into metal again.
 
user15026
4:41 AM
@GnomeSlice My main problem with more growly voices is that there aren't enough individual sounds for me to pick out words, so I tend to get overloaded.
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, that's the biggest complaint everyone has; you can't understand the lyrics at all.
 
user20683
 
I'm convinced that's why power metal exists
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice yeah, I was like, I am sure there are words but I cant tell what tehy are.
 
not that I'm complaining about it
 
4:43 AM
 
oh no
 
What a ridiculous costume band, but what a sick song.
 
not Lordi
 
To be fair, that's the only song I've heard by them.
 
@AshleyNunn:
 
4:44 AM
@agent86 yusssss
 
That music video is so lolz.
 
user20683
 
and when you're done with Loud Pipes
 
@agent86 Have you heard of 'Pretty Lights'?
 
@AshleyNunn, ratatat is an excellent band, very laid back, no vocals, just good beats and some awesome guitar work
 
4:45 AM
 
@agent86 Check out the one I just posted.
 
also by them: wildcat, neckbrace
 
@AshleyNunn if you're looking for instrumental guitar work, there's a band called The Fucking Champs that's pretty fun
 
user20683
Korpiklaani tend to be a one track band but it's a good track
 
Oh, speaking of instrumental guitar:
 
4:46 AM
@GnomeSlice I'm agent86, and I endorse this song
 
also there's the various "guitar virtuosos" (Vai, Satriani)
 
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of guitar music I've ever heard.
 
user15026
@IanPugsley I saw Satriani live once. It was amazing.
 
@AshleyNunn yeah, he's great
 
HEY. NO ONE'S PAYING ATTENTION TO ME ANY MORE.
 
4:47 AM
this is pretty cool just on technical merit, although the girl's also cute, which helps
 
if you wanna laugh and be able to yell YOU HAVE UNLEASHED THE FUCKING FURY, Yngvie Malmsteen's always fun
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice It makes me oddly teary.
 
user20683
 
user15026
@IanPugsley I tried one of his songs on Rock Band once. On easy. There was a lot of failing. XD
 
4:48 AM
Such a great music video.
 
user20683
Just because it's actually gaming related
 
user20683
being part of the EUII soundtrack
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer What language is thatÉ
 
@agent86 oh shit shit shit, on the subject of livelooping (great vid, btw)
 
4:49 AM
And the remix:
 
user15026
@IanPugsley How does that even workÉ
 
I love Petebox!
 
God, I got so many freaking friend requests by having a top comment on that remix for months.
 
@AshleyNunn SORCERY
 
user15026
@IanPugsley I figured that's what it was.
 
4:51 AM
 
@AshleyNunn watch the one I posted with the girl, she's got 3 cameras and shows what she's doing to get it to do that
it's a loop pedal, mostly, and a lot of practice/talent
 
what is happening @GnomeSlice
you post links to decent/good metal and dubstep
 
Of course I do.
Idiot.
 
user15026
@agent86 That is really cool, and you are right, the girl -is- cute.
 
4:53 AM
and then a bit of Papa Roach and Shinedown
 
Probably my favourite song ever, currently.
@IanPugsley So?
 
it's like serving someone a gourmet meal and dessert with nothing but Bud Light to drink
 
user20683
@AshleyNunn German by the sound of it and the description is German for sure. The name is Provencal
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I like this, mostly because Papa Roach was on the list of bands I considered to be "scary" when I was a kid listening to the Spice Girls and WOW Worship 2001. XD
 
4:55 AM
@GnomeSlice have you ever heard any Dillon Francis tracks?
 
@IanPugsley Not sure.
 
I require sleep. g'night
 
user15026
I love the music in machinarium.
 
user15026
@agent86 Sleep well!
 
user20683
 
4:55 AM
If you guys want some laid back stuff to relax to, check this out.
 
@GnomeSlice he does a bunch of tracks with Reija Lee in them
 
However, some of the songs in that particular mix are really depressing, particularly if you're like me.
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer O.O That is...wow. mindblown
 
@IanPugsley Oh? Need to look into that.
@WorldEngineer Whoaaaaaa
Fav'd.
 
user15026
4:57 AM
@GnomeSlice I like the disclaimer at the beginning.
 
@WorldEngineer See Here:
 
user20683
Overclocked Remix is usually good but every now and then produces something ridiculous
 
@WorldEngineer I don't think Zircon is affilliated with them at all.
@IanPugsley Love the intro.
I like this.
 
user20683
 
@MatthewRead what faction?
 
4:59 AM
Everyone should listen to that.
 
user20683
@GnomeSlice There's this
 
user20683
 
I wouldn't recognize the FF music.
 
another Dillon Francis:
 
user20683
.@GnomeSlice The baseline piece for reference
 
user20683
5:02 AM
 
user20683
to be fair it's one of my least favorite FF pieces musically
 
THERE'S SO MUCH LOVE IN THE WORLD JOHN, SO MUCH LOVE.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice SO MUCH LOVE.
 
@AshleyNunn AND there is death...
 
user20683
This is probably my favorite out of the series
 
user20683
5:06 AM
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Mmmm, Apocalyptica. Eargasm, that.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I can't read my own notes!
 
Have you heard this by Apocalyptica?
 
Apocalyptica is pretty cool
 
Wait, wrong one.
THAT one, is just amazing.
 
user15026
5:08 AM
@GnomeSlice I love that. I've heard it before. It makes my ears happy.
 
user15026
Then again, a lot makes my ears happy.
 
user15026
Huh. Apparently there are 6666 starred messages right now. That is awesome.

@AshleyNunn Oh woops. I want to star that... but it would ruin it.

I live in Maryland, and my parents live in Pennsylvania.
 
@DaveMcClelland I hate driving through PA so much
I swear it's a time vortex
 
@FallenAngelEyes But, but... the turnpike is so easy to drive on
When there's not construction... which I guess is never
 
11:53 AM
@DaveMcClelland Yeah :P
Also I think it's mostly because of the mountains. It just takes so loooong to drive through the dang state.
I've only been to MD like twice
 
@FallenAngelEyes That's a reasonable assessment. PA's also surprisingly wide, many people tend to forget that
 
Last time I was there I was in Silver Spring(s... I can never remember if it's plural or not) to visit friends
 
Silver Spring, though I've never understood why it's singular

Me neither, hence why I can never remember, haha

@Lazers raises brow
 
so... Microsoft thinks that given this challenge
you can put a very secure password in place, like this:
 
Microsoft has switched to the Freehand Circle Password System?
 
I must say that password is really secure, given that no breasts were involved in the making of the password. That doesn't mean a typical password won't be easy to guess
 
@badp Most common password: Picture of a penis.
 
1:17 PM
@MartinSojka Now to figure out the login gesture. Mmmmmmh.
Microsoft says you need 3 gestures, so it's not that obvious either!
 
Seems to be a fact of live. Given (semi-)anonymity and user content creation tools, the two most common items created (and the ones a lot people will create as the only items) will be a penis and/or boobs. And by the way, two circles at the bottom and a line straight up. ;)
 
Scumbag Fi: Tells you to search for flames.... Inside a vulcano!
 
@MartinSojka Likewise, @Powerlord's gesture-based password will be three segments that come together to form a piece of .
 
1:40 PM
Lines apparently are the most secure type of gesture available too!
 
Seems likely. I imagine the tolerance for circles and the like has to be pretty high for people to be able to reasonably repeat themselves.
 
There's a very technical (but accessible) article on the topic here: blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/12/19/…
with plenty of implementation details explained and whatnot
should make it easy to port their scheme to other platforms and whatnot
which is good because I think it's clever.
 
Aeo
@badp So.... they wouldn't sue for patent infringement?
 
@Aeo I have no idea if there are patents behind this or not
possibly. Then you could buy a license.

To be fair to the poor circles, this was done with a lousy mouse on a sheet of paper. I'm slightly better using a proper tablet. ;)

Notice anything off here?
(there's "-25% to 50% off!" on top of this image - store.steampowered.com/promotion/holiday_publishers)

Chtulu saves the world for .68€
 
I just see "25% to %50 all Sega games", so I guess they cost extra. Which is good, because I feel like I'm getting more when I spend money unnecessarily.
