OrigamiRobot

@RonanForman It has been established that @StrixVaria, @Tristan, and I are the same person.

@TylerShads I DO NOT FEAR YOUR HUMAN CONCEPTS

Ronan Forman

Anyway, I'm off, see ya!

Blem

@OrigamiRobot So you claim to be a person!

OrigamiRobot

@Blem I believe that is the term you humans are most comfortable with.

Blem

then again i did acknowledge the Geth and save them...

TylerShads

1:07 PM

I am Legion for we are many

badp

@TylerShads That Legion is a SPY!

Blem

i always think of this when i think of Legion

TylerShads

@badp badp-Commander, I do not understand your accusation. There are no such things as spies on The Bridge.

Grace Note

@Blem I think of the one from MARDEK, mehself

@RonanForman Also the Canadians.

Grace Note

Hm...

StrixVaria

Mar 12 at 13:37, by StrixVaria

There are so many Canadians on here. I feel like they're all just sockpuppets for the same person who is trolling everybody.

OrigamiRobot

Grace Note

That's the Symphony of the Night version, innit?

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote It's not the SotN sprite, but yes

Grace Note

1:16 PM

Portrait of Ruin uses the same one, if my memory serves correctly.

Just with more caustic gas than lasers in the actual attack phase

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote Ugh I hate the lasers. I do believe this is the PoR sprite.

Ian Pugsley

@OrigamiRobot gonna flag for butts :P

Grace Note

It's too big to be otherwise - Aria of Sorrow had a much smaller one since Legion had to float around the arena.

Oh boy, it's a @Mana!

Mana

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY

OrigamiRobot

GREETINGS, @Mana

Grace Note

1:19 PM

Question - how many characters in that series have horns like yours? I saw tons of them at Genericon and I'm not entirely sure how many were you and how many were just other similar characters (aside from the ones who had larger horns period)

StrixVaria

18:00 UTC is 2:00PM on the Eastern US, right?

Mana

@GraceNote 14 of them, now.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria I can't wait!

Grace Note

@StrixVaria I believe that is the current rate after that blasted hour shift

@Mana Ah, gotcha. So I wouldn't even know if any of them was you.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot As long as the votes stay relatively as they are, neither can I.

OrigamiRobot

1:20 PM

@Mana You did see this didn't you?

Mana

@GraceNote Yeah, although you get to figure out the unique thing about each one's appearance kinda soon.

@OrigamiRobot No, I didn't see that image. Actually, I still don't.

Grace Note

@Mana I didn't pay much attention to clothing and such, so going by face, they all looked rather grey/white faced with black scraggly hair and horns.

Mana

@OrigamiRobot ah, yes I did

@GraceNote Yeah, those are the common features.

Grace Note

But I'm assuming the Kakarot or whatever you are is associated with Cancer?

Mana

@GraceNote Yes, he is.

Grace Note

1:24 PM

I'll keep that in mind next time I see one, then.

OrigamiRobot

@Mana I want you to know how much horror I had to witness to find that image.

Grace Note

Cancer is like the only symbol I know - I don't even know my own symbol.

Mana

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, uh...don't look at MSPA fanart.

except the not-dumb stuff.

OrigamiRobot

@Mana Microsoft Paint Adventures?

Mana

@OrigamiRobot Yeah.

OrigamiRobot

@Mana Wait, I was just making that up...

FAE

@Mana I'm pretty sure he didn't know what it was before this. He randomly guesses at abbreviations all the time and is (usually) wrong

OrigamiRobot

@FAE It is the best game.

Grace Note

He couldn't get JC if he tried 12 times.

OrigamiRobot

I was going to guess Microsoft Paint Action, but I went with Adventures

@GraceNote Jelly Crumpets

Grace Note

I am not Jelly Crumpets

Mana

@GraceNote Just Cause he's a robot?

Grace Note

@Mana (You missed it from yesterday, JC is one of my many names)

@GraceNote Hey, I didn't know you were in those kinds of movies too.

Grace Note

@Mana I've been in a lot of movies.

@FAE A bit. Also didn't go to sleep until 4:00 or so, so running low on energy sigh At least it's Friday!

@badp It's OK, staring blankly at the screen is apparently also acceptable.

@YiJiang What @badp said

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot ...okay, but with definitive nature, I can say I do not recall that face. At all.

Sterno

1. Spam attack button repeatedly.
2. Aim at monsters.
3. Run away.

I've never really understood why RotMG is so popular.

@Sterno the game looks like a game I want to be good at, but... fame... I dunno

Ian Pugsley

@OrigamiRobot Nobody else loves Thundercats :(

TylerShads

1:51 PM

@IanPugsley It wasn't really that good. And why praise Thundercats when there's Voltron :)

Grace Note

@Mana Half of that sounds appealing but I haven't been interested in it yet.

Ian Pugsley

@TylerShads lol

TylerShads

Besides, Thundercats is about to be ruined by a remake, is it not?

Mana

@GraceNote As far as bullet hells go this one is pretty easy to not die in.

Ian Pugsley

@TylerShads I assume you're joking, considering how awful Voltron was :P

@TylerShads already made, and the remake is actually not that bad

Sterno

1:52 PM

I like roguelikes. I like Diablo. But RotMG just didn't hit the spot for me.

Grace Note

@Mana Well that's no fun

TylerShads

@IanPugsley It was alright :P And I'm not a big fan of the 80s cartoons (mostly cause I was born in '89) Give me Dexter's Lab over Thundercats/Voltron anyday.

TylerShads

@Wipqozn Or you could jus post a pic with an F-bomb again and get suspended for the day xD

@TylerShads there were definitely some good 90s cartoons (Gargoyles comes to mind)

Grace Note

@IanPugsley Yes! Gargoyles!

Wipqozn

I feel so popular.

Ian Pugsley

1:54 PM

@TylerShads seriously? Cow and Chicken?

Mana

@BenBrocka ROTMG has no difficulty settings. It has difficult bosses, however.

TylerShads

@IanPugsley If you're going to complain about how pointless and odd it was, then you missed the entire point of the show.

StrixVaria

March seriously needs to lose a day and have 30 like the cool months.

Mana

And by difficult I mean "without a large group of people with ridiculously good equipment you're not going to get near the bosses without dying"

Grace Note

@StrixVaria Pfft

Mana

1:55 PM

so it's a different kind of difficulty from the exciting difficulty that normally draws one into bullet hells.

Grace Note

@Mana "Get near bosses" seems generally mutually exclusive with "Surviving in bullet hell" outside of any scenario where you're supposed to get near the boss to survive.

Ian Pugsley

@TylerShads I love pointless and odd (e.g. Adventure Time and Ed, Edd, and Eddy) - I just hated that show

TylerShads

Then it spawned I M Weasel, oh god I miss those days <3 It's even better watching them when you're older 'cause now I get all the adult humour

@IanPugsley YES ED EDD & EDDY!

Ben Brocka

speaking of bullet hells, I've found a couple surprisingly good ones for iPad, mostly by Cave games

Grace Note

Well, they're Cave.

That's what they do.

TylerShads

1:56 PM

I'm so glad they gave it a proper ending, but so sad to see it go =[

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote actually quite a few bullet patterns are saver when you're near bosses

OrigamiRobot

Remember Cartoon Network Groovies?

Grace Note

@BenBrocka That's what the second half of the message says.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote what;s impressive is they play well on the touch screen

Grace Note

@BenBrocka So I've heard.

TylerShads

1:57 PM

I've never watched Adventure TIme, though, I hear its reminiscent of how good CN used to be

@OrigamiRobot Yes, they were terrible but I loved them anyway

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote yeah, but it's much more common in bullet hell games than it is in most other shooters it seems

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Eh, haven't found that to be commonly the case - point is to go to safe spots, not to the boss.

OrigamiRobot

@TylerShads Um...The Jabberjaw one was great, so I don't know what you're talking about.

TylerShads

@OrigamiRobot never liked 'em enough to care, but still think they were like a B movie. You know its bad but you love it anyway

Ben Brocka

you constantly fire when your finger is touching, you tap an icon to use lasers/bombs

badp

@GraceNote unless shooting slows you down? (Why would it?)

@badp Laser slows you down, yes, but normal shooting (for good reason) doesn't. The main reason is that there's a lot of strategery in chaining based on your approach.

Ben Brocka

2:49 PM

@GraceNote That's a title! You can't just truncate it.

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Yeah, but the implication is that Tap-Tap would be his name, with "the Red Nose" either being part of his title or the name of his species.

Like, say, Raphael the Raven, Burt the Bashful, Salvo the Slime, etc.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote no, the species are Tap Taps

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Yeah, I just looked it up, they are called Tap Taps, it's just odd in the context of all the other boss names.

(And yes, I did look up that apparently the others are also called Burts)

Yoshi's Island was one of my favourite games ever. I am still playing the DS version. :D

Bumpties are the best

@AshleyNunn same here, amazing game

Was never good enough to beat the bonus levels though

user15026

@BenBrocka THe only thing I didn't like was the "Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy" level - I had SO MUCH trouble with it

@YiJiang Why didn't you link this a week ago :/

Also can I customize that?

I can set a countdown to D3!

@AshleyNunn Dizzys are SO. FUN.

user15026

@BenBrocka I wasn't good enough to -get- the levels, much less beat them XD

TapTap the RedNose... seems less like Conan the Barbarian, and more like Ivan the Terrible

@AshleyNunn don't worry, you're not missing much

Yi Jiang

@StrixVaria Yeah, the time and date website should let you create a countdown to any time

@AshleyNunn I never got to play Island but Yoshi's Story on N64 was... sickeningly cute

@BenBrocka It made me NUTS, because I would always fall off of EVERYTHING

and I felt guilty every time one of them died

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Hah, oh, that level...

user15026

@FAE It was adorable, and I loved that game. It was so cute. So cute.

@YiJiang since I have to like work and stuff today, I don't know that I'm going to be cutting it off right at 18:00 UTC. so don't everybody go nuts when this hits 0 :P

@FAE I actually think Yoshi's Island was even cuter in some aspects, especially the aforementioned avians.

@AshleyNunn When they were carried away to the tower with tears running down their faces I felt so bad D:

user15026

@FAE Oh, I know. XD and I also got so very, very excited when I found a white or black Yoshi - I felt so special.
