Man, this sucks. I've been bribing @badp for years, and he still removes me from ownership!

@Wipqozn added me as room owner once when @badp removed me in exchange for me not removing @Wipqozn anymore. Even as a mod I still mostly honor that agreement.

@badp Adding @Wipqozn as room owner. He's clearly evil.

She was Empress, but thought it wasn't as strong of a position of Emperor so named herself Emperor, because fuck you Wu Zetian does what she wants.

@Wipqozn Dude. We're Canadian. Boots aren't a fashion accessory - they are required to survive winter.

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan They can be both!

Powerlord

@Wipqozn LIES! Hats are clearly the best fashion accessory.

@Powerlord No. Boots are clearly superior.

@Batophobia I forgot that sale existed.

Michel

ROFL! Fight on the chat of Grooveshark over if we are or aren't parasites when we are fetus

Unionhawk

What.

murgatroid99

@Michel I think the correct term is "symbiote"

Michel

@murgatroid99 "The Symbiotes envelop their hosts like costumes, creating a symbiotic bond through which the host's mind can be influenced."

Batophobia

@Wipqozn Consider yourself reminded :)

Michel

5:36 PM

@murgatroid99 Parasite: an organism that lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense.

Unionhawk

1 min ago, by Unionhawk

What.

RPi Awesomeness

@Wipqozn Heck no! Socks man.

Michel

I hold my idea of Parasites :3

murgatroid99

@Michel In general, a symbiote is a parasite that provides some benefit to its host

Michel

Eeyup

Wipqozn

5:37 PM

@RPiAwesomeness Boots are much more fashionable than socks.

Michel

@murgatroid99 Besides boobs, I don't see any other benefit for the host

Powerlord

Dear people who believe microwaving a cellphone will charge it, I have some other things for you to try:

murgatroid99

5:39 PM

@Michel Organisms have a biological need to reproduce. The baby fulfills that need. Hence, benefit

Michel

@Unionhawk O M G

murgatroid99

Actually, a symbiotic relationship is even more general that I said

Michel

@murgatroid99 Good point ...

Batophobia

@Unionhawk Did people actually start trying it?

RPi Awesomeness

@Unionhawk uh...that's not fo real...is it?

@Michel you're right, it's a stretch of using the word "symbiotic". But it's exactly the same stretch that the word "parasite" makes

Michel

Unionhawk

@Batophobia Probably.

@Batophobia You read my mind

@RPiAwesomeness Happens sometimes :( Too much Brazilians around...

Unionhawk

People believed the "YOUR PHONE IS NOW WATERPROOF THANKS TO iOS 7"

murgatroid99

@Michel Both "parasite" and "symbiote" are defined on Wikipedia as being a relationship between different species.

7

Michel

@murgatroid99 well, both may be used to define the fetus mother relationship, no?

@murgatroid99 Fake, this is Dumbledore ...

RPi Awesomeness

@Wipqozn The re-release of 1-3 should hit 3DS soon.

RPi Awesomeness

5:47 PM

Question, has anyone here ever won a game of Civilization by reaching the moon first?

murgatroid99

@RPiAwesomeness I haven't played Civ in a while, but I'm pretty sure I have

Powerlord

It's weird that they ported Phoenix Wright 1-3 and 5 to iOS... but not 4

RPi Awesomeness

I always got obliterated in war prior to that point I think

Wipqozn

@Powerlord Oh, I might pick up that then.

My concern with the series has always been price and length. I've heard they're quite short, and lack replay value, so I'm always hesistant about tossing down $40+ for one of them.

Jason Berkan

@RPiAwesomeness Isn't the goal in all the civs to reach Alpha Centauri?

Powerlord

5:50 PM

@Wipqozn The date is still listed as "late 2014" for the eShop.

murgatroid99

@JasonBerkan It's one of the win conditions

Powerlord

I do wonder if they plan on releasing Apollo Justice (the fourth game) on 3DS or iOS, since that would complete the series.

RPi Awesomeness

@JasonBerkan Might have been that. I just remember the moon. Granted, I've only ever played the 3rd version..so yeah

Powerlord

Granted, you can still play that one on the 3DS since DS carts work on it.

Wipqozn

I tihnk my friend owns some of them as well. Might just borrow them from him.

StrixVaria

5:52 PM

@RPiAwesomeness I've gotten every victory on easy difficulties of Civ V just to try them all out.

@RPiAwesomeness Civ III is icky.

RPi Awesomeness

@Wipqozn For everyone else too, what's the one game you've played that has the most replay value?

user15026

I never replay things.

murgatroid99

@RPiAwesomeness Super Smash Bros. Melee

Yuuki

5:55 PM

@RPiAwesomeness ... Miiinecraft?

Powerlord

@AshleyNunn I tend to replay too many things. In fact, you can probably watch me replay Metroid Prime 3 on my Twitch channel at around 6:30pm EDT tonight.

Batophobia

@RPiAwesomeness Dungeon Defenders

Powerlord

Of course, the main reason for that was the runaround with Pandora's Tower pricing, which I meant to start this past weekend.

Wipqozn

@RPiAwesomeness For me personally? Probably Zelda: Link to the Past. I've replayed that a lot. However that has more to do with just how much I love that game.

Jason Berkan

@RPiAwesomeness Any turn based strategy game.

Powerlord

5:57 PM

@Wipqozn It IS fun, isn't it?

@Wipqozn btw, have you played Link Between Worlds?

Sterno

Never gonna give, never gonna give, never gonna give you up!

Rapitor

@RPiAwesomeness i guess that could be asked as "what's your most played game" to that I say UT2k4.

Wipqozn

5:59 PM

@Powerlord Yup. I really enjoyed it too. Probably one of my favourite Zelda games. I love the fact that you can explore so much of the world right from the get go. Exploring the world and hunting down heart containers has always been one of my favourite parts of Zelda.

Powerlord

@Wipqozn You must have loved Majora's Mask then

Pvt. Grichmann

Now that I think about it, nothing with a story. Roguelikes and multiplayer stuff for me, mostly.

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn I finished LBW but I didn't go out of my way for anything. If I noticed a heart container I'd spend a few minutes to figure out how to get it, but I didn't go out of my way to explore.

Powerlord

...MM having 52 of them to find and all.

Wipqozn

@Powerlord I did. MM is one of my favourite Zelda games. I love all the side quests.

user15026

6:01 PM

@Wipqozn I really didn't like LBW

Powerlord

Yeah, MM was one of my least favorites because I prefer my games DRY. Same reason Wind Waker probably isn't my favorite either.

StrixVaria

I was enjoying Wind Waker. I stopped because I forgot I had it.

Wipqozn

@Powerlord I love Wind Waker.

StrixVaria

It was really slow, though.

Wipqozn

Yeah, Wind Waker is a bit on the slow side.

Still one of my favourites.

Frank

6:03 PM

@StrixVaria It's faster on Wii U now, though, isn't it?

Wipqozn

Okay gents, I'm off! Time to get home, and all that jazz.

Powerlord

The remake adds a second, faster sail or so I've heard.

StrixVaria

@Frank I don't know; I've only played it on Wii U. Maybe it's faster than it was, but it's still slow.

Wipqozn

@Frank that's the version he's playing, but that doens't relaly change the pacing.

Powerlord

and slims down the triumph fork stuff.

Honestly, of the 3D Zelda games, my favorite (and I'm sure I'm going to get an earful for this) is Twilight Princess. The GameCube version that is.

StrixVaria

6:05 PM

I played through at least half of Twilight Princess, but it was right after it launched and I don't remember it very well.

It seemed fine.

Rapitor

@Powerlord at least you didn't say skyward sword. TP was great, but it wasn't... memorable like the N64 games and WindWaker was, IMO

Wipqozn

@Powerlord I thought Twilight Princess was good, but it does have it's flaws. The most notable of which is I found there were too many "only use inside a dungeon" items.

user15026

@Rapitor Skyward Sword was terrible because the controls made it impossible

Wipqozn

but I certainly don't tihnk it's bad.

StrixVaria

Is Skyward Sword considered generally bad?

Wipqozn

6:06 PM

@StrixVaria Yes, although I liked it.

Powerlord

@AshleyNunn Which is the same issue I have with the Wii version of Twilight Princess.

Wipqozn

Although I really disliked the lack of an overworld. It sort of had one, but it also sort of didn't. not in the same way the older ones did. It lacks the same sense of exploration.

Powerlord

At least Skyward Sword would actually follow your movements and weren't just "move the remote to attack"

Rapitor

@Powerlord nah, they didn't try hard with motion on TP. just waggle wildy and he attacked, no special detection like SS tried to do

Wipqozn

Okay, I need to leave. swoosh

@RPiAwesomeness Just Cause 2

One of the great things in Twilight Princess (that its predecessor Ocean McDrivearound needed) is that in the latter half the game, there are tons of teleport points.

Wipqozn

For fuck sakes. Today has the FINAL ATTEMPT by fed-ex to delivery my package. Hopefully this customer service rep they don't advertise exists and can help.

Either way, I will never be giving FedEx money ever again.

Look at Purolator, they tried to deliver a package today and could not. So what did they do? They left an address of where I can get my package.

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn Courier companies are awful.

Wipqozn

Not FedEx. For FedEx I need to jump through hoops apparently.

@JasonBerkan So it would seem.

This is one of the worst experiences I've ever had dealing with a company.

They will never get my money ever again.

Purolator will, since they're apparently not run by idiots.

How hard is it to have a standard pick-up location, and to leave that location on the slip?

IF that location isn't hard enough, then make the customer contact you. When they do, don't have the "pick up" option require them to have an accont, and that account you need to make require you to provide a credit card.

user15026

6:38 PM

@Wipqozn That sucks.

Wipqozn

I'm not giving a company my credit card unless I'm going to give you money, so no fedex, fuck you, I'm not giving you my credti card for no reason.

RPi Awesomeness

@Wipqozn Jeez. FedEx really sucks

Sterno

@Wipqozn You can give me your credit card. I'm trustworthy.

Powerlord

Seems like the last time I used FexEx I had issues with them too... I've also noticed that Amazon seems to use UPS these days.

I wonder if that was from complaints since iirc they've used FedEx in the past.

user15026

I have had little to no issue with UPS especially now that they've gotten good at using UPS stores as drop off/pick up points

Powerlord

6:44 PM

I was disappointed that Amazon charged me almost $5 to return the more expensive Pandora's Tower games but given that I got the second copy for $10 cheaper... although if I had anyone around here that actually played Wii games I'd have considered selling it to them instead.

or just giving it as a gift.

Wipqozn

THERE!

Got a human, she was super helpful.

Powerlord

See, this is the downside of being a Prime member, if it was using standard shipping, I'd have canceled the first one prior to it being shipped.

Wipqozn

I had some trouble understanding her, and she was very patient about it, and spelled out the location for me since I couldn't understand her well enough.

I'll still probably never give FedE my money again, but that person rocked.

I told her how rad she is, which she seemed to like.

Not that I'm surprised, those people probably get dealt a lot of shit.

Which is why I waited to call until I was less pissed.
