@Ullallulloo Koekje!

Grace Note

@Fluttershy ...why is this on a taquitos site?

Oh. It's a site about snacks named after taquitos.

Taquitos were always a weird name for me.

user15026

@FEichinger That is what i look like righ tnow

Ben Brocka

Good reason to never go to the mall again

IT IS NOT ON THIS LIST WTF DORITOS

FEichinger

9:01 PM

@Ullallulloo Arguable.

Ben Brocka

Though on the plus side malls have those soft pretzels sometimes

Coronus

@BenBrocka Mine has 3 pretzel stands. Mmmm...

OrigamiRobot

> In these countries, "flapjack" refers to pancakes, the original meaning of the term.

@OrigamiRobot LIES

@FAE I was 6 when I realized that the rest of the world around me did not pronounce cookie like that

It was a weird moment

OrigamiRobot

@Coronus No you're a lie!

Retrosaur

21k views on a question barely a day old

I'm amazed

FAE

@AshleyNunn What I think is hilarious is that they sell little things of "American Coleslaw" here, when America's word for that is originally from Dutch, kool+sla.

user15026

@BenBrocka The best thing at hte closest mall to me is the Cinnabon

Coronus

@OrigamiRobot That's true.

user15026

9:03 PM

@FAE That is beautiful, in a sideways sort of way

FAE

@AshleyNunn It always amuses me.

user15026

@FAE I like it. Languages do silly things. Also, what makes it American?

FAE

@AshleyNunn Unsure if you're asking rhetorically here or not.

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot Because us reasonable people want one word per item not tons of words that mean the same.

user15026

@FAE No, asking to know if American coleslaw is somehow different? (other than traditional OMG dutch food, I know not a lot, so that is why I ask)

FEichinger

9:06 PM

@BenBrocka What you call a "soft pretzel" is what pretzels actually are ...

Ben Brocka

user15026

@FEichinger mutters about карамель (said caramel) not meaning caramel

Ben Brocka

chips based on tacos based on chips

FAE

@AshleyNunn I'm honestly unsure because I don't like coleslaw so I don't eat it.

user15026

@BenBrocka My brain hurts

user15026

9:07 PM

@FAE Ah, fair enough. :)

Coronus

@BenBrocka If these get turned into tortilla shells, I'm quitting.

Ben Brocka

Taco flavored taco shells

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Cyrillic is stoopeed.

user15026

@Coronus wants to make it happen just for you

Ben Brocka

The shells are actually made out of smaller tacos

user15026

9:08 PM

@FEichinger I think it is beautiful, I just don't like the caramel thing - apparently it is just another word for candy, or something

FEichinger

@BenBrocka bacontoday.com/bacon-shell-tacos-aka-bacos

user15026

Okay, so I just backed my first Indiegogo campaign. Someone want to explain to me how getting perks works?

Coronus

Do they have bacon flavored tortilla chips?

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn It probably just refers to liquid sugar, and thus sweets.

user15026

@FEichinger That would make sense

user15026

9:09 PM

But I am so used to a bunch of food words being literally transliterated that this one threw me for a loop and my mouth was not expecting what it got

FEichinger

> my mouth was not expecting what it got

user15026

@FEichinger Not everything I say is an innuendo, btw

user15026

I can manage to hold entire conversations without being sexual.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn I know. That's why I had to cut out the first part.

kalina

@FEichinger is this for real?

if I hadn't committed to being a vegetarian this year I'd go make some right now

I can reply to the correct message, I just choose not to

FEichinger

9:11 PM

@kalina Yes, it is.

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn I think you just get a code for any digital items. None of the kickstarter stuff I've backed has made it yet though so I don't really know

FEichinger

@kalina You helped Ash get an answer, though, so that's a plus.

@kalina I am suggesting that whatever gets me candy and money is good by me

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn Cool; which tier?

user15026

@BenBrocka The one that gets you the Steam code (cost me $36, $38 w/ exchange)

OrigamiRobot

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Thats a little scary

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn ah, cool

user15026

9:15 PM

@BenBrocka I have you to blame for most of the purchase :P

Grace Note

@AshleyNunn Would you prefer the homicidal version that kills Santa Claus in the pursuit of eternal life as a holiday, to never be forgotten ever again?

kalina

where is that guy tonight, I'm bored and need some fun

user15026

@GraceNote no, no, I'm good, thanks

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn excellent

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn No, he's a badass. Rise of the Guardians was awesome.

user15026

9:15 PM

@BenBrocka Yeah, I didn't figure you would feel bad

user15026

It always blows my mind when one of the high level perks/rewards from one of these campaigns is claimed

Ben Brocka

they had to keep adding more high tier stuff because they sold out first day

and they added a whole new stage to add the extra NPCs people paid for

Powerlord

@BenBrocka Wait, so they made two Doritos flavors based on Taco Bell tacos based on two Doritos flavors?

2

Ben Brocka

@Powerlord yes

Powerlord

Oh wait, they're selling them mixed in with Taco Doritos.

Strange how I didn't see those two flavors when I was buying Doritos at my local grocery.

@BenBrocka I'm not sure yet

user15026

Have you decided?

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn here's the list if you didn't know: labzerogames.com/3rdcharacter

Not entirely. Toss up between Stanley and Isaac I think. But I'd also like to see Beatrix, Panzerfaust, Eliza, braindrain, venus or aeon. Or like...half the characters listed, really

Shotgun Ninja

I'd like all of them to be made characters. They all seem very interesting to me, and I'd like to see how all of them pan out.

user15026

9:33 PM

@BenBrocka Yeah, I want to see a lot of them, they all sound awesome. I want to see either Umbrella or Stanley, I think

Powerlord

TellTale Games' next game.

Of course, all the characters were already spoiled since Team Fortress 2 has items for each of them in its files already.

Shotgun Ninja

@Powerlord Is that a picture of the Necronomicon from Evil Dead?

Ben Brocka

@ShotgunNinja Adam seemed really lame until they said he'd be part of 3 soldiers with different health bars

Powerlord

@ShotgunNinja Yes

The corresponding TF2 Item is the Necronomicrown by the way.

Our guest this week (after she joins a bit late) is Zuly Gonzalez – Stack Exchange moderator and power user. As usual, we also have David Fullerton, Jay Hanlon, Joel Spolsky and (Fake) Producer Alex!

Things are a mess over here, not just because we have to remember to stop masticating long enough to talk about podcast things. We’re moving offices! The office is full of crates into which we have to pack all our stuff before we move.

The new office is going to be awesome. It has hexagonal offices, and we don’t remember if we’ve talked about this before. …

@AshleyNunn It's a fighting game made with love. I'm sure it will be

user15026

@BenBrocka legal trouble?

user15026

9:35 PM

@BenBrocka Yeah, I figure the same - the more I research and read about this game, the more I love it and the people making it

Ben Brocka

The game;s made by an FGC champ; he even made it so in Versus mode you have to hold down Pause to actually pause the game (because if you pause in tournament play you lose, so this way you can't accidentally pause)

user15026

I hope I can find people to con into playing with me, if that is a thing.

user15026

@BenBrocka oh, that is a nice touch

FAE

@BenBrocka That's how the Xbox button works on Rock Band drums too, for similar reasons.

For people looking at the Key Party site, the other two keys are Brock Sampson's (from Venture Brothers) and Sam's Desoto keys (from Sam and Max).

is there a reason why you can't edit a question that has suggested edits

Can we please improve the way spoilers are revealed in questions?

In another question that wasn't mine, BlueRaja also had the same problem

when he received a notifaction in his email about a question, which pretty much spoiled a certain game

There has to be a way to improve the way spoilers are currently written in questions

Also, side question

does this site ever have promotions that aren't tethered to games like starcraft?

Because frankly, I can never take advantage of such promos because I do not own and probably will never own starcraft

user15026

@Retrosaur Asking here for site fixes is not the best way to get them noticed - that's what site metas and M.SO are for

Powerlord

But yeah, related to TellTale's new games, these hats are in the game all with the prefix pn2_ on their models:

user15026

@Retrosaur again, not up to us - up to the Community team, based on whatever their decision making model is

Powerlord

Dapper Disguise, Handsome Jack's Mask from Borderlands 2.

user15026

user15026

I've never been able to participate in any of these. That's just life, because I play different games.

@Retrosaur The Key Party is the site to watch for it.

Does Mailing Address include my name?

Powerlord

Of course, Valve already spoiled the games/series involved by adding the hats to TF2 on the 22nd.

Retrosaur

@Powerlord so what are the keys representing

I'm assuming the Big Knife is Samson's

What about the car logo with the crest?

Powerlord

9:50 PM

The series involves are: Sam and Max (DeSoto key), Venture Bros (Samson's knife), and Evil Dead (Necronomicon)

The missing keys are the one from Portal and the one from Borderlands 2.

Shotgun Ninja

Powerlord

At least those are the ones corresponding to the 5 items added to TF2.

Retrosaur

Isn't Evil Dead a movie?

I'm confused

Powerlord

@Retrosaur Yes, it is.

Retrosaur

But it isn't a videogame

Shotgun Ninja

9:51 PM

That's a really impressive sketch of a DeSoto logo. EDIT: The one on the Key Party site, I mean.

Retrosaur

I can understand why Venture Bros would be in it

Because of AdultSwim + Valve

Actually, the SteamPipe update is going to hit Day of Defeat: Source on Friday unless Valve pushes it back.

Jason Berkan

@Ullallulloo Must be it. I logged off and back on and it corrected itself.

Powerlord

I'm not making any bets on whether they screw it up or not.

Ullallulloo

9:56 PM

@Aarthi I can't believe I've never noticed that before...

Powerlord

@Ullallulloo I whine about it every few months.

Anyway, if Telltale only updates thekeyparty.com on weekdays, then 5 characters sounds right.

Shotgun Ninja

@Powerlord The shitty Evil Dead remake?

Powerlord

@ShotgunNinja Universal owns the rights for Evil Dead now, and Telltale Games has done two games for them already (Back to the Future and Jurassic Park)

Shotgun Ninja

Must... stay... at work... another... half-hour...
