Ilomilo

ilomilo is a puzzle game developed by Southend Interactive and Microsoft Game Studios. It was released on Windows Phone 7 on November 8, 2010 for AT&T customers. On November 26, 2010, a "secret" website was made available where players could get a code to download a trial and purchase the game early, while the game was officially released on Xbox Live Arcade on January 5, 2011. == Gameplay == The goal of each of the 49 levels is to unite Ilo and Milo, who are on separate sides of the level and must work together to meet. Players can change control between Ilo and Milo, or two players can control...

GnomeSlice

@originaluser copied this url for it, thanks

@Wipqozn prettier and easier to read wikipedia

Chippies

@GnomeSlice I wouldn't say easier, but it is prettier

GnomeSlice

5:08 PM

I would

Chippies

not pretty enough to make me use it though

GnomeSlice

you can customize it to however you like to read

Chippies

I used it for a week or two, then got sick of it, because it was a pain to link to actual wikipedia

GnomeSlice

it's got dark themes, you can switch to serif or sans font, you can adjust justification, margins, text size

Q: Mad Bullets - Where can I find pints of beer?

I've been playing Mad bullets for Android. A couple of missions that pop up are Shoot X pints of beer as you can see in the image below. Does anyone know where I can find pints of beer?

android

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice I find it significantly harder to read.

Chippies

@GnomeSlice if you REALLY wanted to, you could probably ask someone to help make you a custom css for wikipedia

it would be same as wikiwand, but only local

GnomeSlice

@Chippies Why would I bother with that

I love wikiwand, I hate not having it now

@StrixVaria Why?

Like what makes it harder

Chippies

@GnomeSlice right, just keep throwing the wikiwand links to everyone and then fix them to be wikipedia links after they complain

@GnomeSlice for one, less text on screen at a time

bigger font and not as wide paragraphs annoys me a bit

StrixVaria

@Chippies This is huge.

Chippies

5:10 PM

it reads like some fancy article, not wikipedia

GnomeSlice

You can make them wide

StrixVaria

I don't usually read wikipedia pages word for word. I scroll around and skim bits and pieces.

GnomeSlice

Chippies

sure, it might read better if you want to read all of it (debatable), but as a wiki article, the original is better (at least than the default settings)

GnomeSlice

Oh nice they added a button to switch to wikipedia

Chippies

5:12 PM

@GnomeSlice that font, for some reason, makes it harder to read for me

GnomeSlice

that square in the bottom right

so now you can't complain

@Chippies you can change that too

Unionhawk

The only complaint I have ever about Wikipedia is when they do their "we don't run ads support us pls" thing

Chippies

@GnomeSlice so, you're saying that I can make wikiwand look just like wikipedia and I can switch to the wikipedia article with just a click of a button? Oh boy, Sign me up!

oh wait, wikipedia does all that and I don't have to click a button to switch to it

GnomeSlice

No, that's not what I said.

@Unionhawk A classical music radio station near me did this for all of last week. There was more begging for money than there was classical music. It was gross.

this is one of the things i like most about ww too

I've heard some very anecdotal controversy stuff about them but it's hard to tell what's real and what isn't

Chippies

anyways, use what you want, it great that it can be customized, but I'm absolutely fine with the default wikipedia

StrixVaria

5:14 PM

@originaluser Their userbase is super duper elitist, and I think a lot of the controversy comes from that.

Chippies

and now if you'll excuse me, I think my garlic bread will catch fire any moment

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria The only "classical" music station in Nova Scotia is the french version of CBC radio, which only plays classical music onthe rarest of occasions.

originaluser

@StrixVaria Very possible. There was the Essjay scandal as well but that was several years ago

Wipqozn

Actually, halifax radio sucks

GnomeSlice

Wipqozn

5:15 PM

We only have two music stations which aren't completely focused on pop music

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn We have a dedicated classical station in NYC, and the broadcast range covers the relevant parts of NJ for me as well.

@StrixVaria Yeah, I like it a lot, but the cash shop stuff is goofy

@originaluser I really like that ads are completely optional.

Watch an ad to get a thing, or don't and never be bothered ever.

@StrixVaria I... didn't even know there were ads

StrixVaria

@originaluser On the Android version there are.

But you have to go out of your way to watch them.

Oh, I thought it only had a steam version

@GnomeSlice last I played it (long ago, free online flash version) it had some major flaws in design

@originaluser At least on the android version, you can watch an ad for a 2x bonus for 4 hours

I didn't even know there was a Steam version.

And horrific penalties for death.

I really don't like replaying the same area over and over once I've figured it out just to try another time at the thing at the end of the area.

In Bayonetta 2 if you die you restart that fight.

I beat the Pursuer in DS2 on my first try and then saved and quit and never played again.
