user30

Yeah

1:20 PM

You've got far to go still.

@Mana You finished a playthrough, right?

@ArdaXi No, not yet. I'm only on Chapter 9.

@Mana Chapter 9? Is that Singapore?

Bleah, at work and have a headache that's growing steadily worse. :/

I have two playthroughs going on at the same time. In my second one there is literally nobody left alive on the streets of Detroit.

@ArdaXi No, Shanghai.

When do you go to Shanghai?

I'm talking about the place you go after the second time in Hengsha.

1:23 PM

oh

I meant Hengsha, sorry

So second time then.

getting Deus Ex and Deus Ex: HR mixed up

no, only the first

I'm actually on chapter 8, whoops

That can't be Chapter 9

Hm.

HMMM.

I need to find someone who's been through the second bit in Hengsha already.

1:25 PM

Sorry bro. I'm too busy slapping hookers in Detroit.

Also, the Icarus Landing Gear is the most disappointing thing since my son.

I was expecting that I would be able to keep my momentum, not that I would go into some ridiculously slow third-person cutscene and have to wait around for five years while Jenson falls.

@Mana You have a son?

@ArdaXi Not anymore

How disappointing.

Q: Is it feasible to snipe generals in Rome: Total War?

1:39 PM

humm, I seem to have gone into the sewers

Okay, I'm going to do this. I'm going to make a site for game-rec.

I know absolutely nothing about designing things on the web.

This is going to be awful. OH WELL I'M DOING IT ANYWAYS

@Mana I know lots about designing things on the web. Like how I can't do it.

3

The only thing I've ever designed in my life.

Look how ugly it is.

That is pretty ugly!

@ArdaXi At least it has fewer saloon signs than my early projects.

@Mana Thank you. :(

1:44 PM

But it's okay. My website doesn't have any CSS.

Or content.

Hmm, what makes sense for game recommendations...Gotta figure out a layout, yo.

@ArdaXi I can do it... badly!

user30

he can't survive much of a fall

user30

pathetic

@ThomasMcDonald You need more cardboard boxes.

@Mana Maybe one of those Q&A engines, like Shapado.

user30

@Mana Oh, you can use my half-developed QA engine

1:51 PM

@ThomasMcDonald thanks man

user30

when it's finished

should I be scared that Shapado's doc/ folder hasn't been updated since the initial commit

user30

Shapado is nasty

user30

rather, getting it's test suite to run was

Yeah, and I don't know Ruby.

user30

1:54 PM

but I dunno if their R3 branch is on master yet

user30

and they use HAML, which I can't for the life of me understand

hmm. I don't really want to code an entire QA engine in Python, either, though. Maybe I'll see if I can thumb through this source and figure out some stuff and then translate it

(this is going to be a disaster)

@Mana: What exactly are you trying to do?

Make a site just for game-recommendations, but not a fully automated one.

@Mana: You should clearly write it in rolls die Python.

Oh, you already said Python.

1:57 PM

heh

(1 - Python, 2 - Ruby, 3 - PHP, 4 - C#, 5 - Java, 6 - er... I really didn't have a sixth one for this list)

I know, write it in C++!

@Powerlord You're a genius.

> Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use C++." Now they have two problems.

Oh wait, that "quote" was about Regular Expressions, not C++.

CruelCow

@Powerlord jQuery! jQuery can do anything!

@CruelCow I could have said Node.JS, but if I have one goal in life, it's to extinguish JavaScript, not promote it.

CruelCow

2:03 PM

@Powerlord Destroying JavaScript? That's a pretty bold life goal. Most people chose something simpler like becoming an astronaut or climbing the Mt. Everest.

Is it client side scripting in general or javascript the language specifically you object to?

2:14 PM

@Powerlord What's next, Assembly?

@CruelCow The ideal aspiration is true ambition, not complacency.

Node.JS would be awesome for websites. You could have them live-update.

@ArdaXi Assembly, while ugly, has its uses.

Tim Stone

@Powerlord NaCL!

@Powerlord As does Javascript.

@TimStone Yay for salt.

2:16 PM

@ArdaXi Are you saying there are things in JavaScript that you can't do in other languages?

@Powerlord Yes.

Client-side cross-platform web scripting for example.

@ArdaXi OK, let me rephrase that... are you saying there are things in JavaScript that you couldn't do in other languages with proper browser support?

@Powerlord Not really, but you can pretty much do anything in any language.

As opposed to assembly, which is essentially the processor's native language

@Powerlord Assembly is compiled into the processor's native language.

2:18 PM

@ArdaXi Yes, but it has a 1:1 representation with machine code.

Now, granted x86 processors actually break CISC instructions into smaller chunks once the processor gets an instruction.

@Powerlord Almost.

Anyway, Javascript is the option we went with, and it's the option we're stuck with.

So Node.JS does make sense, using the same language on both ends.

Brant

Javascript is just Scheme with curly braces.

(I don't know Scheme but I know it's a pretty obscure language so associating it with Javascript, which I do know and use fairly often, makes me feel superior)

@ArdaXi So, are you also advocating GWT?

No idea.

Yeesh, I'm glad I don't play TF2 on Advanced Weaponiser servers any more... now you can create weapons with custom attributes in it.

2:37 PM

Great. Look what your violence has wrought, @Mana.

It was only a matter of time before @Mana become physically abusive.

@GraceNote At least it's not as bad as what my violence has wrought in Deus Ex Detroit.

@Mana So you downplay your horrid treatment of Yi Jiang. Need a shovel?

And a couple dozen holes.

@Mana So, rumor has it you're a mass murderer.

2:42 PM

What - me murder?

Not his first time at the rodeo.

@GraceNote That comment about how you're surrounded by murderers never fails to amuse me

@Mana I'm more amused that we're back in Deus Ex and you haven't changed a bit.

@GraceNote I haven't. In the first one I started with a playthrough where I tried to kill no one, and then made another playthrough where I tried to kill everyone. It's the same here.

There are some amusing side effects, though, in this one.

Secret of Muffin, eh?

2:49 PM

Secret of Mana was taken, man. Who does that?!

@GraceNote Do not accept any muffins from @Mana.

@ArdaXi Psh, it's not a ninja creampuff or anything.

@ArdaXi The secret is ~~chloroform~~ pony magic!! And rainbows!!!!

Guess it's not much of a secret anymore though. Whoops.

Most ninjas invest in poison and toxin immunity. Y'know.

@Mana I love pony magic.

3:00 PM

@Wipqozn You'll love my muffins then.

@Mana Excellent. Just walk a few over to Nova Scotia.

I might start buying the books online, because they are normally less then half the price.

Simon Sheehan

You could get them used

sjohnston

The best part is when they come out with superficially modified new editions every year or two to prevent you from buying used.

Speaking of Secret of Mana, what was the secret of Mana? The fortress?

Likewise, what was the secret of Monkey Island?

Also, what did Guybrush do in Monkey Island 5 (since Telltale Games skipped it and produced Monkey Island 6 instead)

Essentially the beginning of Tales of Monkey Island is the end of "Monkey Island 5" and sets up the story for Tales. :P

4:13 PM

@Powerlord It's been too long since the last time I played.

4:26 PM

@Mana Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yourself.

@RavenDreamer heh

Did I finally one-up you with my ninja fast skills?

Like you've consistently been doing to me since our promotions?

shakes an angry fist

You did! By a minute. Coincidentally, right after I got up.

I wasn't up yet either. I was sleep-modding.

@RavenDreamer I want to draw comparisons between the previous set of mods, except we never really beat each other.

4:28 PM

Hahahaha

It was always, only one of us was around at the time.

Well, we seem to have pretty good time coverage atm.

If only we could squeeze someone into those very late/early hours :(

We did have someone in that time period but he done goofed.

OAK. SHAKES FIST

(We're exempting those days where badp and I both woke up to find 30+ flags on the site. Those don't count)

4:31 PM

I'm just sad that I have no reason to flag anything, anymore! My flag rating is doomed to the awkward float: 636.5892

@GraceNote Oh man...That must be painful.

@Mana Eh, not really. Usually we fix it within the hour, if we even take that long.

@RavenDreamer If you don't bring it up in the Fridge, you could always flag it when you're uncertain.

We prefer the Fridge because it's more persistent, it allows more discussion, and is generally superior.

And it's called the FRIDGE.

That's just awesome.

Well, we originally nicknamed it the Fridge because it's Oak, myself, and Juan

...is there actually a room called The Fridge that I'm missing out on or--oh

4:33 PM

We could never meet each other online, it's always coming after the fact. So even though it is synchronous persistent chat, the effect is more like putting PostIt notes on a fridge door for the others to see when they wake up.

Okay, your gravatar just changed.

Yes, it did

I guess that's different now that badp and us are mods.

And Juan.

Well, I thought you just said that Juan isn't around when you're around

4:35 PM

You still have Juan. My timezone (and by extension, Raven's) always conflicts with him so he'll probably rarely ever run into you, but he still works hard.

@Mana - what's disappointing about the Icarus landing gear?

@RavenDreamer I thought it would just take away damage from falling, so I could do large leaps of faith while keeping the momentum to cross from building to building

@GraceNote I know, I was referring to the "meeting up online part". I know Juan works hard.

@Mana so what does it do?

@Mana Juan's actually been present a lot more. I still miss him a lot but we actually do talk now and then.

@RavenDreamer Once you start falling at a certain momentum it cuts to a third-person cutscene where you fall and land on the ground right below you, surrounded by a yellow orb of stuff.

And by fall I mean float. It's kind of silly.

4:38 PM

I'm stuck in China, on my playthrough.

Can't find anything to do.

@Mana At a certain speed, I presume, or is direction also important?

@GraceNote The direction is down.

Gravity is always down.

@RavenDreamer Well, is it down-down, or is it, like, just down?

Speed, sorry. I failed Physics.

(didn't actually fail Physics)

Will it trigger only if you're falling, or does an arc trajectory cause it to kick in as well?

@Mana While I think that the guys over here would know how to answer that question better, that was a technically correct move :p

btw, congrats on becoming a mod

Thanks man!

One thing that hasn't changed is that I maintain control of all flags that accumulate once Mana and Raven go to sleep!

And I have a few hours to beat them to the punch anyway

Hehe

Sometimes I have really big concentration/focus problems where my head feels like it's being pulled in several directions at once and it sucks

and when I play these, it helps me focus and calm down

I can just kind of zen out and listen to the music and focus on the visuals

@badp 300 hours as Spy?

no total

@badp That makes it an irrelevant statistic, because only the hours as Spy matter.

43 hours

OK, that is pretty sad.

6:07 PM

I might've clocked a couple since then but...

I never was a spy for the stabbing

I mean, if I can get it great, but their teleporters. THAT is what matters.

My specialty is sentry guns.

Taking them out, that is.

Dave McClelland

My specialty as spy is dying. Mostly by random pyro spraying while I'm cloaked

I can take them out nearly every time in a one on one. And sometimes in a 2 on 1 depending on what the other class is.

@DaveMcClelland I hate that. Which might be why I play Dead Ringer Spy more now.

Also, DR Spy requires you to know the levels better.

I'll say this, knowing how to move as a Spy also makes me a better Pyro. ;)

Namely because I know where to spy check! :D

Also, despite the YER's description saying it's a silent killer, you can still hear the stab itself if you listen.

Dave McClelland

I've always been a pretty good pyro, and I understand that there are certain places that should always be spychecked. But I'm the kind of spy that gets hit by a random flare flying across the map. All. The. Time

My least favorite part is when my teammates get me killed.

You see me disguised running towards an enemy sentry gun... that means you should come through the arch/door right behind me!!!

Dave McClelland

Can anyone recommend some Minecraft servers? I tried @GnomeSlice's, but my house got griefed within 10 minutes...

I mean, Alien Swarm has less levels than any other Valve game I can think of.

Nope.

No really new strings

And they're certainly not hundreds

6:29 PM

I had bacon today @Powerlord.

@KevinY Can you recommend some MC servers?

Oh hey

Yeah I was tired last night

@John I played on a few before, but they all went downhill. Haven't really played on any since, except @GnomeSlice's (I don't build anything).

You could try looking here.

@KevinY That's disappointing. I played on one that went downhill, and on @Gnome's where I got griefed within 10 minutes.

Yeah, I've learnt not to get attached to anything built on SMP.

6:32 PM

@KevinY So the ideal server I'm looking for doesn't exist?

@John I played on one server that was really good – it had a nice economy system, and not much griefing at all.

@KevinY Happen to remember the IP?

The server doesn't exist anymore.

:(

Except then someone managed to cover an entire town (mind you, these towns were like 128x128 blocks) with TNT.

Which caused you to lag out and crash whenever you got near the town.

And then the server owner decided the map was too large and too old, etc, and we started fresh.

It wasn't as fun, so I sort of left. When I checked back a couple months later, the server wasn't even up anymore, so meh. :/
