The Bridge

@MichaelDunfield Desura isn't out for OS X or else I'd be all over that.

@MichaelDunfield What is it?

@Metool Youcan use the website. It's better than the client anyway.

Although this game isn only available on Windows apparently. :(

One of my favourite games from last year.

puzzly platformer deal

That tells me nothing

teleport gun

@OrigamiRobot Can you see the trailer?

> This game is a simple platformer with puzzle and action elements. You play as an astronaut, forced to land in a strange alien planet. Low on fuel, now you need to find some way to get an alien power core and avenge your planet, defeating your arch enemy, Grigori. The main game mechanic is the clever use of a teleportation device, to move around the levels.

7:01 PM

I will now go out of my way to ignore this game.

I hope you're proud of yourself.

That does look interesting.

@OrigamiRobot Why are you so mean to me

@3ventic It's so good

I am a robot.

I just bought 5 so I can give copies away

I'd appreciate one :p

7:03 PM

@3ventic Are you Desura? I'd prefer to send it through that than post it here.

@MichaelDunfield I can get it in a sec

I miss that whole week where Rogue Legacy was awesome.

@Sterno It still is

@3ventic I didn't feel like there was a point playing NG+

@Sterno Kind of true

7:06 PM

If anything, it felt like a game where the real goal is to see how few upgrades you can beat it with, rather than grinding out upgrades

@Sterno Why I don't buy games new, in a nutshell.

@JasonBerkan In this case, I think it was worth it for the week of being one of the people annoying everyone in The Bridge talking about it, instead of being one of the annoyed.

@3ventic still there?

@MichaelDunfield desura.com/members/3ventti

@3ventic Enjoy!

That's two keys down

> "Our customers have expressed a desire to share their digital games among friends and family members, just as current retail games, books, DVDs, and other physical media can be shared," explained Anna Sweet of Valve. "Family Sharing was created in direct response to these user requests."

Yes. We'd like to share, but we don't hand over our entire libraries when lending out books or games.

I don't know if anyone recalls the female co-worker that got mad because I told her she looked like spicy chili, but she's offically left. On the way out I asked her if she had a problem with me and she said "no, just moving up the ladder to bigger sausages for this chili."

..."looked like spicy chili"?

@Shiester I'm not sure what "you look like spicy chili" even means.

@3ventic I didn't see that message

But it sounds offensive.

7:14 PM

sec, diggin thru transcript

So I can only assume you drink the blood of babies or something.

@MichaelDunfield Nevermind, my own stupidity..

Asking how to redeem it?

:P

No, I couldn't find the message :p

Oh, hah.

Yeah, Desura is a little less streamlined than Steam.

But I like the focus on community stuff.

7:15 PM

@fbueckert Yeah. I don't want anyone to know I own Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble

Sep 4 at 20:22, by Shiester

As it turns out, when a female co-worker asks you if her new outfit makes her look hot, saying "Yes, like a spicy sausage." is a terrible response.

@Sterno There are libraries, and then there are libraries.

now wait a second,

@Shiester I remember that now.

Oh man, a bonus of playing PAYDAY 2 is that now I have more trading cards to sell!

7:17 PM

@Sterno Oh man!

yeah, but I guess when I asked I quoted myself wrong - now im wondering if she even remembered

or... if she even cared.

god I feel like an asshole and an idiot.

@Shiester Shrug and move on.

Women are strange.

@fbueckert tempted to flag as offensive to see what happens

@Sterno I'm interested, too, but not interested enough to risk a ban.

Somebody change your name to GnomeSlice and see if you get suspended for saying the same thing.

RedRiderX

7:19 PM

Oh hey look, Humble Indie Bundle 9, now with stuff you actually want.

We've already done SCIENCE. We know that @GnomeSlice will be suspended.

@RedRiderX Already bough it while the average is low.

@RedRiderX "Pay more than 4.30 for fez"

@Shiester Oooh.

wait, the price actually jumped that much?

RedRiderX

7:21 PM

Trine 2: Complete Story
Mark of the Ninja
Eets Munchies Beta
Brütal Legend

Pay more than the average to unlock:
FTL: Faster Than Light
FEZ

REALLY?! Desura asks me to select a Steam account and gives me the options "Downloading", "Sourcemods" or "Temp"

>paying more than a dollar for fez

>paying for fez

>even pirating fez.

@3ventic ????

What?

No it doesn't.

@3ventic What are you trying to even do?

It shouldn't be doing that.

@RedRiderX FTL is the only good thing on that list.

7:22 PM

@Shiester FTL was not good.

@3ventic wh... wat

@Shiester Mark of the Ninja?

@MichaelDunfield It offered to search my computer for games that could be added to desura library, and now it's saying that

Choose downloading I guess? I don't remember mine ever doint that

@StrixVaria WOAH. WOAH. WOAH HOLD ON THERE A SECOND. WAIT JUST A MOMENT. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. IMMA TELL YOU SOMETHING.

@StrixVaria YOU GOOD SIR HAVE BAD TASTE IN GAMES IF YOU THINK FTL WAS NOT GOOD.

RedRiderX

7:23 PM

@Shiester I don't know what Eets Munchies is, but the rest of those titles have been highly praised in the indie scene.

@3ventic Oh. I wouldn't bother doing the auto add, to be honest.

@Shiester You have bad taste in games for liking FTL.

@RedRiderX the original eets is like a shitty lemmings clone

@MichaelDunfield Too late!

@3ventic :P

7:24 PM

@StrixVaria "I dont like thing" WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW FTL 2 HARD 4 U?

It's 22:24 and I need to buy some milk, so I'll have to go now. Bye

It was just super boring.

@Shiester calm down

People are allowed to have opinions here.

b-but, its a fact that ftl is g-g-great

7:25 PM

I tried FTL. It was okay.

Mark of the Ninja was really fun though.

How do we not have questions about this?

3

Mark of the Ninja is the best game in that bundle by far

@Sterno hovered above link. NOPE.

@MichaelDunfield What bundle?

Never mind.

Scrolled up a bit more than I did before.

Yeah, have to say that Mark of the Ninja was the most fun of the games I played above.

Granted, I haven't played FEZ or Eets Munchies.

And I didn't really play that much of Trine, to be honest.

I can really appreciate Fez, but it's too cerebral for me.

7:28 PM

I like the puzzles in Fez, but I don't like the presentation.

It's too branchy and too difficult to remember where you're going.

Branchy can be good, but it wasn't in Fez.

@StrixVaria Yeah that was my main problem actually, you explained it better than me.

Every area looked the same, couldn't keep track of it

but what about phil fish?

and the map was incomprehensible

surely you guys hate phil fish?

The only thing we hate is off topic questions. And EA.

2

7:29 PM

I'm going to judge the game on its own merits, regardless of how much of an asshole the guy who made it is.

@StrixVaria This please

Fez was a mediocre game made by a huge asshole.

3

@StrixVaria how do I add more than one star?

Who the hell is Phil Fish and why should I care?

@Sterno Don't care and probably never will.

New nickname for kalina: Senor(a) Pantalones del Fuego.

7:31 PM

People really go overboard with the stars here.

9

@Metool Yeah, yeah they do. :( it kinda wrecks the point

@Mana I agree.

Stars should be banned.

@MichaelDunfield Too much bait. Stars denied.

SAY NO TO STARS.

33

@Mana Give a gamer a tool and they will abuse it.

7:33 PM

@StrixVaria ;_;

And the Humble Bundle 9 is kind of a yawnfest

@Mana What's the point of stars?

okay guys, here we go:

Trine 2 complete: 37VW2-YZ3KX-8V7E2

@badp Are you drunk

Eets Munchies : 6XKC-5IN3-EQFW-TJR2

7:34 PM

Everything except for eets is pretty high profile

Stars exist so that everyone has a chance to read the witty things I say, right?

@Shiester WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THIS WHILE I WAS AT WORK

@MichaelDunfield No. I have most of those games

Brutal Legend: TCDC5-IPWMR-9CL6J

@badp Doesn't mean it's bad

7:35 PM

Mark of the Ninja : MZVM2-MYNHW-AT03W

@Shiester DO WANT but it's so many gigabytes

@MichaelDunfield Did I say it's bad

@badp ...Yes?

@Shiester You know you can't do this

@badp actually, no I didn't.

7:35 PM

@Mana Humble Bundle Steam keys are supposed to be just for your own use.

so, theyre not valid for anyone else at all?

Huh, a Metool seems to have wandered onto the Bridge.

@Shiester They are but you aren't supposed to give them away

oh I'm dumb

4

@Mana Don't say that

7:37 PM

oh, well shoot. what am I going to do with all these games then.

@GraceNote Indeed indeed.

Welcome to the Bridge.

@MichaelDunfield burrrrrrn

@MichaelDunfield aw :)

7:37 PM

Also yes, welcome to the Bridge ladies and gentlemen that haven't been welcomed yet

@badp It's always been unclear to me if that's legally binding or just how they'd prefer them used.

@Sterno I think it's part of the sales contract - so, yes, legally binding

I need to work faster. Took me more than 30-ish messages to make that.

Q: Is it good to have a mix of champs that are strong either early or late game?

There's no need for them to spell it out because I think "non transferrable" is the default anyway

Lazers

0

For example would a late game team of tristana, jax, nasus etc. be stronger or as strong as a team that has good early game AND late game champs? Also would having a team of all early game champs such as darius, leblanc, etc. have the same effect? I want to use this mostly for determining what t...

Q: Unable to basic attack in Skyrim

I play on 360 (no Xbox live or Internet connection for now) and have all the DLC available. Just recently I've lost the ability to basic attack. If I have a spell I can charge it. If I have a bow I can draw an arrow and hold it. But if I have any weapon like a mace, sword, or axe, I can only powe...

7:39 PM

Anybody else?

Those two don't work, by the way, been redeemed already

then again. While I have followed a course about law in the IT field, I'm no lawyer, and the course focused on Italian law.

So YMMV

@badp I am curious to read the legal language they use, because if they give you a key and you choose to give it to someone else without redeeming it, it doesn't seem like there should be a damn thing they can do about it.

There's got to be some Area51 site this question would be a fit for!

@Sterno They don't have to give you legal language. At least following Italian right.

Software licenses are non transferrable by default

...at least following what I understand of Italian right.

At any rate, I mean, one extra copy of the bundle with Steam keys is $1

If you really want to give games away at least spend $1 on it

and just be aware that if you don't you're kind of a jerk. :)

Or really poor.

But yeah.

@Sterno Legal.SE if we have one?

7:43 PM

Why am I still so drawn to Peter Molyneux's games?

(Contract law in Italy is actually rather different than US law because Italian law doesn't let judges set precedents, so applying it is much easier)

I know I'm going to wind up buying GODUS when it launches for early access this Friday.

@StrixVaria Good question. I'll get back to you when I find the answer.

(This means that if the Italian law says those are defaults for this kind of contract, then there's not much you can do about it. This means terser contracts with less legalese... and hidden clauses you just need to study once.)

@StrixVaria Don't do it.

Write instead.

7:46 PM

@OrigamiRobot You need to catch up. There's like 10 chapters you haven't even read.

10?!?!?!?!

I am only on chapter 2 :(
