@UniKitty Can't be right. It's pointing blame at the wrong person.

@UniKitty That's double wrong. Try using correct wheels next time.

@Sterno At first I was expecting something more like this:

@Rapitor It gets better when the little shithead starts telling the onlookers that they can't tell him what to do. Though to be fair, he's right. None of those bastards steps up to help

@Arperum Don't worry, it catches it and blames wipqozn anyway

@fredley Luchas de muchachos...

"I don't want to be on this tape"

This is your periodic reminder that this is a thing.

@Unionhawk but the blame method throws BlameException and your catch block doesn't catch it. So your code won't compile

2:23 PM

@fredley Because stupid.

@Unionhawk You should at least evaluate e before invoking blame.

Where's the wheel of blame that always lands on @Wipqozn?

Elder Scrolls Online is proof of why I don't want to ever see Fallout Online.

It just doesn't meet expectations.

Oh man. All of the father moments they could do with Geoffry as Buster

2:29 PM

My computer is old and busted. Which video game is going to force me to buy a new one?

I've never really seen Fallout as a game that's "MMO-able". Never really fit with its theme.

@Yuuki Yeah, I agree

Granted, I could say that for Elder Scrolls and see how that turned out...

Or star wars :P

2:31 PM

@Yuuki horribly?

Yeah, I was going to say, Elder Scrolls is not MMO-able

But they did it anyway

Although, I could say the same about Final Fantasy and they pulled off two financially successful MMOs

Eh, Star Wars is MMO-able.

They just didn't do it terribly well.

Fallout is MMO-able in the same way Elder Scrolls is - create the most generic MMO and add assets from Fallout

@Chippies this

This is why ESO sucks.

Part of.

2:32 PM

@Yuuki Star Wars has had some amazing MMOs actually

I've heard some people say ESO has really good lore and storyline(s), it's just the actual game part that is a mess

Are you ready to Move To Bro-Topia?

I forget what the name was of that good SW MMO...

@LessPop_MoreFizz Bridge to Terabrothia?

@Chippies Galaxies is the older one people love

@originaluser I wouldn't be surprised. Elder Scrolls has always had great lore.

2:33 PM

@originaluser I thought that's the name, but googling wasn't very reassuring

> Mr. Huntington built the treehouses over several months last year with the help of what he called a “bronado” of friends. He hired contractors to build the skate bowl at the same time.

From my understanding Galaxies never really saw much success but it had a dedicated fanbase

@Yuuki unfortunately, MMOs aren't about lore

They eventually "overhauled" the many aspects of the game which alienated much of the fanbase, leading to it's death

MMOs aside, they need to bring back Republic Commando. Or avoid f--king up Battlefront and combine the two.

2:34 PM

Bethesda was so preoccupied with whether or not they could make Elder Scrolls an MMO, that they didn't stop to think if they should.

With Jedi Knight!

@Chippies Eh, they can be but you'll never make a WoW killer if you want to make a lore focused game. And the business people behind the scenes just want to make a WoW killer

@Yuuki there's that one Star Wars FPS from late 2000s, it was pretty decent

Never played ESO, but if it's full of books like a typical Elder Scrolls game, I suspect there are people who log in and just go to the library.

@originaluser lore is a great bonus, if the rest of the game is top-notch

@Yuuki nevermind, that is Republic Commando

2:36 PM

@Chippies I don't disagree, but there are definitely games (MMOs specifically) where I kept playing mainly because I wanted to experience the lore rather than I was absorbed in the gameplay

@originaluser sure, you'll learn all the lore in what, 2-3 months max? Then you're done with the game

MMOs need you to stay forever

and lore won't do that

The thing about Star Wars Galaxies is that the game itself had little in the terms of content. People were essentially supposed to make their own stories.

@Chippies Eh, it kept me playing for longer than that in FFXI. I still resub for a few months every couple of years

Which is great for RPers, but terrible for everyone else.

Q: In castle clash how do you leave a guild?

How do you leave a guild in castle clash?

2:37 PM

@originaluser some people play for the lore (you, I guess), most people play for the end-game content

@Chippies I play for both :P I just think most games strike a poor balance

obviously it's not black and white like this, but the end-game side of the spectrum is more populated

Some intern is probably laughing his guts out at what he got away with

Internet's down at work so I'm just gonna head home.

Man, I wish that worked here. Internet outage means 'wait for it to go back up'

2:40 PM

We don't know when the tech is coming by and I leave at noon anyways.

@PrivatePansy haaaaaaaaaaahahahaha

I hate questing in MMOs, so, while I enjoy good lore, I often can't be bothered with it

I'm waiting on a change to be pushed before I can do anything, so boss just said to go home.

We're both tired of their shit?

that too

Visual Studio sits out back in a white panel van. It invites your code inside to 'compile'.

Somewhere between 50 and 75 people saw the movie, and that was it.

@UniKitty In America we have actual gun stores, where you can buy actual guns, as long as you have a license

In florida there is a gun store every 50 yards

3:53 PM

Singapore has no shootouts, last I checked. I think last one was at a bank back when color cameras didn't exists. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

@murgatroid99 So it is like GTA where you just go buy guns causally?

@UniKitty I'm pretty sure that if you see black-and-white video, it's because modern CCTV cameras are black and white, not because color cameras hadn't been invented yet

List of Singapore police officers killed in the line of duty

No, it was in one of our history lessons. Somewhere in the newspapers with dots and lines everywhere in the image

This is a list of police officers from the Singapore Police Force who were killed in the line of duty, based on official records from the year 1900 to date. Line of duty deaths refers to any police officer who has died while carrying out duty which he is obligated and/or authorised to carry out. This would include officers who respond to incidents while off-duty as obligated by the Police Force Act, as well as those commuting to and from their place of duty or training. The Singapore establishment generally avoids personalising or glorifying acts of personal sacrifice in contemporary Singaporean...
