Augh stupid copy paste.
 
I was not aware Tamashii Nation did a Voltron-style Disney Cho-gattai Robo of Mickey and Friends!
 
Hey, look! It's all my favorite people!
 
@krazer I recognize about half of the things in that sentence.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Here's some pictures.
 
yay for christmas arguments
 
1:08 AM
 
and I figured not being at my parents would avoid such occurances
 
@pixel the best kind.
 
Jin
i'm transforming big robots now!
 
I feel completely out of place sat in somebody else's house while they argue
 
1:08 AM
@krazer that seems... Awful.
 
Jin
@pixel are they asians?
 
...
 
Jin knows a thing or too about arguing Asians.
 
@pixel yeah, that is the worst part about the first holiday with an SO's family. By miles.
Just be thankful you aren't the subject of the arguments.
Those are the best ones.
 
well true, I can be grateful for that
I would totally not still be here if that was the case
 
1:11 AM
What is the name of Donald Duck's girlfriend?
 
Dad is upset because his daughter is dating one of those people etc. ugggggh.
@raven Daisy.
 
Ah, yes.
I knew it was alliterative, but all I could think of was Daphne Duck.
 
tbh it's been an awesome day
 
Who I think Mana is dating...
 
we split off into groups and played C&C against each other
 
1:11 AM
@RavenDreamer Mana is dating a duck?
10
 
I wish I had this many brothers
 
@RonanForman ...yes.
 
I feel brain damaged from being exposed to this much TV though

Q: Follower's inventory doesn't show up for trade

SaysmasterI came across this disturbing problem. I have Mjoll the Lioness as a follower, and I wanted to trade some things with her. I go to the "I want to trade a few things with you" dialog, and she responds "I can carry a good bit of gear", but the inventory doesn't show up at all. I try the console co...

Q: Is Tristana still a viable option for AP build in the current meta game

jonleechI have seen Tristana using an AP build before but with new emerging heroes and all these old champions sometimes get blindsided by their newer peers. The points I will like to know are Is she able to carry off an AP carry or just a normal AP Runes for her AP build Ways of effective using her A...

 
@Jin It's not polite to share that sort of thing with the group.
 
Wheeee, it's snowing outside!
 
One of the best robot posters I've seen:
 
Jin
 
@Ullallulloo I always enjoy floppy drive music.
 
Jin
^ i got that for christmas.
 
@YiJiang Snow in Singapore? It truly is the end times.
 
Jin
it's the reissued chogokin. i had a plastic model of it when i was 8yrs old
 
1:41 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Done.
 
I might be waking up to a foot of snow tomorrow morning. o_o
 
@Jin I got a transformer too!
 
Jin
 
Jin
i just spent the past 20mins on that ^
my last few photos on instagram looks like a toy show instagram.com/jzy
 
@Ullallulloo I have it.
But that is a good deal and everyone should have it.
 
@GnomeSlice I know, but it's double what it was yesterday like I said.
 
@Ullallulloo I never said you were wroongggggggg
but okay
 
Jin
 
1:47 AM
@Jin Awesome!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Nanjing. It usually doesn't snow at this time of the year here.
 
@YiJiang Hahahahahahahahahaha you suck.
 
user20683
For those of the old school have not heard: Alien Crossfire is now freely included with Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri at Gog.com
 
@RedRiderX Wooo, original Marvin!
 
1:51 AM
@GnomeSlice Yes!
 
Your plastic pal who's fun to be with!
Also, I feel like I recognize that little yellow guy
 
I'm rather amazed at the breadth of references and I only recognize a fraction of them.
 
Why is he so familiar.
 
@GnomeSlice Think Betty.
 
@RedRiderX YESSS
 
1:55 AM
bleugh
 
@RedRiderX Ha! Found him. =3
 
@GnomeSlice Yes, Canadian cartoons FTW!
 
what a shitty end to a good day
 
What is the name of the guy from Red Dwarf?
 
user20683
@RedRiderX Kryten
 
user20683
1:56 AM
or Kryton
 
@WorldEngineer Yes, that's it.
 
I SEE WALL-E
 
I feel like I should watch that show more...
 
I looked away and when I opened it again he's the first thing I saw.
 
@GnomeSlice WALL-E
 
1:57 AM
@pixel =(
 
HI I AM HOME
 
@OrigamiRobot Hi Home, I'm Gnome.
 
beep boop I love you.

Q: can multiple users log into the Wii U at the same time?

Scott BeesonAm I stupid? I want to play Sega Allstars Racing Transformed with my wife but we can't figure out how to play with separate profiles. It's either Scott and Scott(2) or Izzy and Izzy(2).

 
Godammit, Steam lost all of my non steam games...
 
2:03 AM
It is quite hard to find anyone willing to trade Steam games. =(
 
@Fluttershy I have a copy of BL1 GOTY
 
@OrigamiRobot I already own that. =( Plus you're not interested in what I have to offer anyway.
 
Oh my...
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I've had that happen a number of times lately.
 
@RedRiderX I HAVE SO MANY OF THEM
 
2:07 AM
@GnomeSlice I am truly sorry for your loss.
 
Steam is such a piece of shit, it's going to take me more than an hour to put all this shit back and that's when my interwebby goes away.
 
@GnomeSlice Why exactly does it matter to you that all of your non-steam games be in steam?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz So I can keep track of them.
Which ones are my favourites, etc. I don't remember all of this shit.
Also
So you guys can see how many games I play that you don't play because I'm a hipster.
 
2:22 AM
@GnomeSlice You do realize that that is not actually what 'hipster' means.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes, I was just star whoring.
It didn't work.
Oh, nevermind.
Stars is stars.
 
eyeroll
oh you guys
 
@badp It's just too easy.
 
@GnomeSlice is always easy.

bleh. wanted to grab just cause 2, can't from "mobile" and "request desktop site" failed spectacularly. no sale
 
@badp I got an Android tablet thing, it's great. The newer os is much nicer than the one I had on my old HTC phone.
@badp Also, I picked up your bounties in the holiday giveaway
Because you didn't and I'm impatient.
@badp but you still owe me a bounty.
 
@gnome thanks, the newest android is a pleasure to use but much less to moderate the site with
 
And since you put in 500 that means I get all of it, since you don't have to do another one (also one of your bounties was supposed to be yourself)
@badp Hmm
A net gain!
 
I didn't actually put any limit to my participation, although I did plan to spend more than zero :-P
 
2:41 AM
FINISHED.
It only took me 40 minutes, not an hour.
Also, I didn't include all of them
 
@less grats on your new and improved avatar, now 20% more disturbing at tiny resolutions
 
@badp It's Still Doctor Teeth.
I felt it was time for a new Doctor Teeth though.
 
I am pleased with the result
 
the fuck
why are my milkstone studios games all gone
Oh Jesus, please tell me this is an MMO
 
3:00 AM
@GnomeSlice How do you make an enjoyable MMO out of this?
 
Wow, what the hell, why are all of my gamersgate downloaded games no longer installed
Like Bastion...
WTF MAN
HOW does this even happen
@Krazer I dunno, but I see other chefs running around behind him.
 
@GnomeSlice Did you make sure your game filter is on "All Games" and not "Installed?"
 
:7412865 I'm not talking about Steam. They're not on my harddrive anywhere.
 
3:20 AM
@GnomeSlice How did this happen?
 
@Krazer I have no idea. It must have been antimalwarebytes, it must have flagged a bunch of games when I was getting rid of that Chrome worm. Fuck that.
 
@RonanForman oh, damn it.
 
3:45 AM
Merry Christmas, happy Boxing Day, etc.
 
You're kinda late to that party.
 
@GnomeSlice @fbueckert you should go upvote my answer
</shameless self promotion>
 
@MBraedley You used words that I do not know. O.O
 
@RavenDreamer not for Boxing Day, as it has barely begun in Canada
@RavenDreamer it's not that complicated
 
@RavenDreamer apoapsis/periapsis?
 
3:58 AM
@GnomeSlice I may have spelled those wrong, posting from my iPad.
 
A brand-new solar array? For me? You shouldn't have! No, seriously, this shit doesn't even work.
@MBraedley No you got it right
 
@GnomeSlice you remembered to face them into the sun, right?
 
@MBraedley It was a Christmas joke.
Because most of the parts in KSP are supposedly found lying about.
Or are otherwise shoddy.
Still no followers...
Bah, this was dumb
 
@GnomeSlice nah, you just need to get Kurt and Scott to follow. If you build it, they will come.
 
@MBraedley Scott?
 
4:03 AM
@GnomeSlice Manley
You haven't watched his videos?
 
@GnomeSlice don't give up bro, it takes one good tweet
 
@MBraedley I haven't watched Kurt's either.
Is he on Twitter?
...apparently he's also a vintage gay porn star.
Fuck Thank you, Google.
 
Now there are only 1 million meters between my Ap and Pe....
A new record!

Q: How is Nightmare Difficulty Different in Orcs Must Die?

KirkI just finished beating Orcs Must Die! in the middle difficulty. I was considering playing through in nightmare mode, but I don't care to if it is all the same levels. How is nightmare different?

 
@GnomeSlice not sure. Don't see anything in his YouTube info
@OrigamiRobot you do know you can turn your engines off once your projected apoapsis is high enough…
 
4:18 AM
shrug
I don't know what part of "I don't know what I'm doing" you guys are not understanding.
 
@OrigamiRobot This must be what talking to someone completely unwilling to learn is like.
Good God, why hasn't someone beaten me up yet.

@GnomeSlice Following directions isn't learning unless I know why I am doing what I'm doing.
 
@GnomeSlice yep, that's him
 
Right, pinged him.
That one is pretty bad.
Bah.
I need help.
@DJSnM Clearly, the solution is to add more power. Just ignore those science nerds on the ground talking about "files". More power!
 
4:36 AM
@GnomeSlice Best advice I can give: Quit with the parody twitter while you're ahead.
 
@Fluttershy No u
It's fun, fuck tha police the popularity.
I don't think my Twitter account is offensive enough.
That might be the problem.
the batman twitter is pretty offensive.
 
@GnomeSlice I don't think so.

WarfaceI want to know what could be the fastest way to make gold in UO ? What are you past experiment that made you rich ?

 
Fun story, 2 face has erectile dysfunction. The whole half-melted face split personality thing is just so he has someone to blame it on.
 
4:51 AM
@GnomeSlice Meh.
Offensive != Funny
 
@Fluttershy Just found Midnight Fire Dye
 
@Ullallulloo I disagree, when it comes to parody accounts.

Ending the missions responsible for littering didn't remove any of the space junk, so now it's just sitting there complicating maneuvers. This stuff gener...

Q: How to get Steam to recognize existing game files from a different source?

ronnoLet's say I have a game bought on retail/other digital download and installed on my hard drive. I buy the same game (or a minor variant of it, say the GOTY edition) on Steam. It should be possible to use the existing installation to avoid the generally big downloads. This is very useful as it sav...

11:37 AM
Though after going through the somewhat convoluted store I ended up with 4 emails in my inbox
One for confirming the order, one for telling me the item (a digital download) was shipped, and one more containing the download link. The last one was a confirmation that I'm now signed up for their newsletter (which I did do, intentionally)

other peoples
 
@pixel I can highly recommend chainsaws
 
i tend to avoid my own
 
@pixel Awkward
 
@pixel You shouldnt let me play guild wars like this

1:24 PM

I have bought 5000 platinum so far
 
sick of these idiots arguing about the most mundane of things
 
@pixel I have become immune to my father's opinions. It still takes a little while every time I get home though.
 
if i wanted to be in a house where people threw stuff at each other while arguing about who is doing the dishes i'd have gone home
 
He is a louder, more opinionated and more right wing version of me. It scares me.
 
1:25 PM
well, home = my parents
 
@pixel Ouch. That is bad.
 
my home is free of all this shit
 
@pixel If they throw the dishes, nobody has to do them
PROBLEM SOLVED
Thanks Robots

@fredley Minecraft is good at that
PUNS
 
@fredley i did that all yesterday and it got mentioned that i spent more time with his little brother than with him
just in case being here wasn't awkward enough
 
1:32 PM
@pixel Screw them and what they think
 
@pixel I am up to 7500 platinum
 
@OrigamiRobot why are you buying platinum
 
Because it's cheap
 
confused
 
I'll sell it later

JOYOUS
HIS DAD is the one taking me home later
i wonder what the quickest way to suicide is
 
@pixel Grab the steering wheel and flip the car into a roll at 70mph?
 
2:15 PM
Morning, Bridge
@fredley That'll be too late, she'll already have been in the car with him for too long
@pixel Why is he not taking you home?
 
@GnomeSlice I got a controller for my PC finally.
 
@StrixVaria Very good investment
I have five xbox controllers for that reason
 
@SaintWacko It was a Christmas gift.
I was holding off on buying one until I saw whether I got one as a present.
I played some SkyDrift and Super Meat Boy to try it out.
Super Meat Boy is worlds better with a pad than with a keyboard.
 
@StrixVaria Be'st game to play with it: Splinter Cell: Conviction
 
I have a good 10 games I couldn't play until I got a pad, so there's a lot of gaming to catch up on now.
 
2:19 PM
Where the hell did that apostrophe come from?
 
Shank and Darksiders are two other ones.
 
@StrixVaria Oh, yes, and Darksiders
 
I also might try DeadSpace again since I won't have to deal with their stupid port issues with mouse sensitivity.
 
I wasn't terribly impressed by Shank
 
@SaintWacko I decided to hold off judgment on it until I got a pad because the keyboard controls were just straight up abysmal.
 
2:20 PM
@StrixVaria That could be my issue. I was just playing it on the keyboard
 
I also have Psychonauts which was awkward with a keyboard.
 
@StrixVaria Haven't tried that yet
 
It was also hard to get over the fact that Invader Zim was the voice actor for the main guy.
 
But definitely play Conviction and Darksiders
 
@SaintWacko I'm generally not a huge fan of stealth games.
 
2:21 PM
@StrixVaria Oh, okay
I am, and I have a friend who is, and Conviction has amazing coop
 
They always look really cool but then when I play them it never ends well.
For example, in Deus Ex: HR I wound up murdering every single person in the police station.
 
@StrixVaria You definitely wouldn't like the mode we play, then :P
We play a mode where if you get detected at all, game over
 
I walked in the front door, through an open door, and someone said "You can't be here!", and I reflexively shot him in the face. It went downhill from there.
 
I haven't played HR yet. I need to install it. It sounds like fun
 
@SaintWacko I remember watching some friends play an older Splinter Cell game where they can revive each other. They had trouble even with that.
They were on either side of a door, and an enemy slammed it open, downing one of them. The other tried to revive him, but the door slammed open again, downing him too.
It was hilarious as a spectator.
 
2:24 PM
@StrixVaria I don't remember whether you can revive in Conviction. The mode we played, if you got to that point, it was game over anyways :P
@StrixVaria That would be funny :D
 
Anyway, for me stealth games are really fun to watch, much too frustrating to play.
 
@StrixVaria Alright, Darksiders and Darksiders 2, then
 
There's an "I never asked for this" waiting to be thrown in here somewhere.
 
@SaintWacko Definitely looking forward to these.
 
@StrixVaria I can't even imagine playing those with a mouse and keyboard
 
2:26 PM
I did the tutorial in Darksiders with a mouse/keyboard. It was actually manageable until I had to use an ability. Hold capslock and press 1-4.
Hold capslock.
Hold capslock.
Out of 2 words, they have screwed up 2 times.
 
@SaintWacko I blame @badp for actually being able to conceive this working for this kind of game. These two specifically, I don't know enough of their control schemes to judge properly, though.
 
Welcome home @StrixVaria
 
@OrigamiRobot Thanks!
 
@StrixVaria What.
@StrixVaria What?
@StrixVaria What!?
 
It was sunny every day in Florida, and then I got home and it was freezing and snowed the next day.
 
2:31 PM
@StrixVaria Depressing
 
So, it's completely dead here today.
Entertain me!
 
@StrixVaria We had a white Christmas morning here.
 
Also, it figures that today, when all the parking ramps are closed around here (and they're not checking the parking meters) is the day we expect a bunch of snow.
 
@GraceNote It started snowing during Christmas Eve at my mom's house, which sucked because I was just watching it build up thinking "I have to drive home in this."
 
@StrixVaria Besides, if you were going to play Stealth games, why wouldn't you start with Metal Gear, the grand-daddy of them all?
 
2:34 PM
@Powerlord I particularly hate the idea of Metal Gear.
 
@StrixVaria I didn't have much issue with it snowing at my Mom's place when I was there this year.
 
@StrixVaria Why? :(
 
But that might be because I'm still there. And always there.
 
If I did get into the stealth genre, I still would never play any Metal Gear games.
 
2:35 PM
@CruelCow I don't need to check that to tell it's blocked at work.
 
@Powerlord I watched a friend play though most of MGS2, and that was enough.
Also, the idea in MGS1 of it breaking the fourth wall really puts me off.
 
@StrixVaria MGS2 is really where the series started going downhill IMO.
But yeah, MGS does have its fourth wall breaking moments... hell, one of them is required to beat Psycho Mantis. :/
 
@Powerlord I don't mind breaking the fourth wall if it's done well, but from what I hear about MGS it's just gimmicky.
Everything I know about that franchise makes me feel like it doesn't take itself seriously.
 
I think MG2 (as in Metal Gear 2, not Solid 2) had a fourth-wall breaking moment where it tells you to check the manual for a person's codec frequency (this is repeated in MGS)
 
@StrixVaria I have never actually played one of those
 
2:38 PM
Suspension of disbelief is important for me, is really what it comes down to.
 
I still like the older Metal Gear games.
MG and MG2, before they introduced all the fancy 3D mechanics.
MGS was still pretty good, although it had its annoying moments.
 
The Doctor Who Christmas Special was awesome! It's awesome because... erm...
it contains the new companion running around in a corset! I hope that didn't spoil anything
 
Also, the bug in MG where Schneider's codec thing where you have to scroll past it one room north of the room you're told to "try to contact the resistance"was annoying.
 
@YiJiang I added a "Stole" in the middle there reflexively. It made the entire title weird.
 
Anyway, I'll probably continue MGS when I get home tonight. I stopped playing just after switching to disc 2 yesterday.
 
2:43 PM
@pixel I notice you're playing Command and Conquer! :D Excellent choice!
 
@SaintWacko The other main genre of games I don't particularly like after stealth: RTS.
 
@fredley Can you post a picture of the rocket that keeps getting boosters knocked off?
 
@SaintWacko I've fixed it now :(
 
@fredley Oh, okay
@StrixVaria We have exactly opposite taste in games, then :P
 
@StrixVaria What do you like, then?
(I actually have no preferences or allegiances to neither stealth nor RTS, this is really just a curiosity point.)
