The Bridge

Rug hooking is both an art and a craft where rugs are made by pulling loops of yarn or fabric through a stiff woven base such as burlap, linen, or rug warp. The loops are pulled through the backing material by using a crochet-type hook mounted in a handle (usually wood) for leverage. In contrast latch-hooking uses a hinged hook to form a knotted pile from short, pre-cut pieces of yarn. Wool strips ranging in size from 3/32 to 10/32 of an inch (2 to 8 mm) in width are often used to create hooked rugs or wall hangings. These precision strips are usually cut using a mechanical cloth slitt...

@RonanForman Dumbeldoor?

Pretty sure it's DumbleDore.

user30

@ArdaXi Yes, although I left with more drinks than I took, which is always a good thing.

Arda Xi

Tumbledoor.

Arda Xi

Oh wow, now I really want to know what's in Doc's room.

Wipqozn

thanks, I'll read it in a bit (After SC2) :)

@ArdaXi no spoilers dawg

Ronan Forman

You don't find out, sorry

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn I'm not.

@RonanForman Did you see it?

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi If you have @RonanForman, shhh. I haven't seen it yet, won't for a few hours.

Ronan Forman

8:20 PM

Yeah, I watch it on TV! I know, it's weird...

Wipqozn

@RonanForman as do I, just doesn't air till 9pm here.

Might be the same for you..but my 9pm is different from your own

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn Spoilers actually improve your experience.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi quiet you, you and your logic.

Arda Xi

Hmm, my chat avatar just changed locally. This looks so weird.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi Come now Arda, you don't look that weird.

Arda Xi

Yes I do.

GnomeSlice

8:29 PM

Actually, that's probably faked.

Ronan Forman

Not as weird as this! Oh wait I don't have my PC.

Wipqozn

oh snap! Nicely played THorzain

Ronan Forman

Try flipping that image, I may look better.

Arda Xi

@RonanForman This room is pretty weird I suppose.

Wipqozn

Man, this game could still go either way.

Ronan Forman

8:30 PM

Seriously flip your avatar!

Arda Xi

Err?

I put it on a left angle intentionally.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Are you guys watching live games?

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice yeah

8:31 PM

@Wipqozn Wow.

Really.

Ronan Forman

You only ever see your self in a mirror, that's why photos of yourself look weird. You don't need to post it, just try it.

user30

I would pretend I knew what was happening

user30

but I don't

@ThomasMcDonald starcraft 2

Arda Xi

@RonanForman No, I get the point, but I think I look weird in a mirror too.

@Wipqozn Yes, I know

Arda Xi

I do, like, recognise myself.

GnomeSlice

I can't take this seriously with a commentator.

Really, really obscure reference.

Wipqozn

Oh, nicely played thor

Arda Xi

Reference nobody recognises, probably.

user30

Wipqozn

8:35 PM

I'm leaning more torwards thor right now @Mana

I'm thinking we will be going into a fifth game

thorzain is just dealing massive amounts of economic damage

Mana

it can go anywhere

Wipqozn

@Mana there is the gg

Mana

what

CruelCow

wtf

Mana

why

oh

Arda Xi

8:36 PM

11? Nice touch.

Wipqozn

He didn't have any economy

CruelCow

Never give up, never surrender

Mana

Thorzain gives the best sets, man. This is pretty much how the TSL3 went down.

Wipqozn

oh man,this is going to be one tense game!

Mana

I thought Thorzain had lost when the first push died

Wipqozn

8:38 PM

@Mana Me too, he makes some good comebacks

Ronan Forman

Eveyone's ripping on Johathon ross

Arda Xi

Whom?

Ronan Forman

British comedian and talk show host

Arda Xi

Oh, right, I know that one.

Seen a few clips with him.

CruelCow

8:40 PM

Oh man, this map is gonna last looong

Wipqozn

@CruelCow Most likely.

Ronan Forman

Fry's more just showing him up

Wipqozn

nicely played by thorzain

damn! THor is in a really good position.

Mana

man I'm shaking

nerd chills all over my body

Wipqozn

@Mana I can imagine. Thorzain is doing really well right now.

Ronan Forman

8:47 PM

BANG!!!

Wipqozn

He took out Dongraegu third at no damage to himself, in fact his counter resulted in DRG losing half his army

those banelings came at just the right time

I'm surprised Thor hasn't expanded yet to a third yet

there he goes

CruelCow

Mirror's Edge is 75% off on Steam. Again. When will they just keep the low price? :D

Wipqozn

I love how quickly a match can turn around

Ronan Forman

So how much is it?

Wipqozn

thors in trouble

Mana

8:53 PM

NOOOO. :(

CruelCow

2.50

Wipqozn

Thor is going to need to work really hard to come back

Ronan Forman

Might get it, I already have it on xbox but...

Mana

Yeah, Thorzain's lost unless DRG messes up

Wipqozn

@Mana Exactly my thinking.

DRG just has too huge of an economic advantage

Ronan Forman

8:54 PM

Where are you watching this?

Wipqozn

The problem was thor took too long to expand, he took out DRG's third, and didn't expand or make a succesful attack ater

@RonanForman twitch.tv/dreamhacktv

CruelCow

geeeegeeeeeeeee

Wipqozn

Excellent game.

Mana

Damn! Awesome series.

Ronan Forman

Should I buy starcraft?

Wipqozn

8:56 PM

@RonanForman Starcraft II? IF you like RTS games, yes. It's a solid choice.

Ronan Forman

Do you have to play it loads to get any good?

I enjoyed DoW but I'm terrible at Multiwinia.

Wipqozn

@RonanForman Depends how good you want to be. The matchmaking system is fairly good, so you'll never get matched up against players who are dominating you

Mana

(unless you get rusty)

Wipqozn

WElly ou will from time to time, but not consistently.

@Mana that is true

Ronan Forman

They should make your score decay.

Mana

8:59 PM

@Wipqozn You should probably check out the TSL3 finals if you enjoyed this one

Anyways, I'm gonna go grab food, then TF2 a bit, then concert!

Wipqozn

@Mana when did they air?

I my have seen them before.

lolol

Mana

a while ago, I think it was back in May or April?

Wipqozn

thanks for coming guys! we appreciateit so much people start leaving

I may haves een it then... I'll check it out later

Tom Wijsman

@RonanForman Does there exist something on our planet that you don't need practice for to become good, except for being born with a talent which I don't always belief?

CruelCow

If he says thank you he must be satisfied already and my work here is done. leaves

Mana

9:01 PM

@Wipqozn For reference, here are the VODs

Wipqozn

love the top hat

So @Mana, TF2?

Tom Wijsman

@RonanForman There is a system so that (grand)masters automatically get off the charts if they are inactive, and other people can get past your points over time too. So adding an extra decay isn't necessary...

Mana

@Wipqozn no, fooooooooooooooood

Wipqozn

@Mana pffft, food is for the weak

Ronan Forman

@Tom I didn't mean like that, I meant that it's very complicated and unless you get all of it you're terrible.

Tom Wijsman

@RonanForman Well, it depends on how you define terrible and very complicated. In any case, right practice helps you get better...

Sorry for the extra editing pings, took some tries to get the last part sound right.

A: What do gift cards do on Minecraft?

I know you can get gift codes for Minecraft. I haven't heard of cards, but if they do exist, I'm sure they have nothing more than a similar gift code on them. This may be to enable people without credit cards to easily buy a premium Minecraft account. Just for the sake of comprehensiveness, a ...

God, such an amazing song. The guitars, piano, the buildup, everything.

Wipqozn

The fact you listen to non-mainstream music means I respect your taste of music to some degree.

Also, trying to think of a game where the AI given a lot of priori information to give it an advantage :/

players locations, his weapons, et cetera

@Mana Nice song actually, I like it.

CruelCow

@Wipqozn Most AIs are to dumb to react to players so such information would give them little

Listen all the way through, it's epic.

TF2 needs a Strange Dead Ringer, which counts the number of deaths you've faked.
