9:00 PM
@BenBrocka Yes.
 
@BenBrocka It seems I reached the tipping point at the level 12-13 area where my money and fruit seem to both go up and I can continually breed dragons :)
 
@GraceNote you're awesome
 
Why, thank you.
 
@James sounds about right, I forgot the dark dark times when that wasn't the case
 
9:01 PM
Id say a quote from GTA San Andreas, but it would likely get flagged
 
@BenBrocka Despite you answering my questions, you're still not allowed to call it D1. That is reserved for Diablo!
 
like the dark dark times when I wasn't intimately familiar with 4 generations of Disgaea's gameplay mechanics
D1
 
@Sterno This, so much this
I was disappointed when I read up far enough to see you were NOT talking about Diablo :(
 
Yeah, you Blizzard fans WOULD get confused
 
@BenBrocka Company merger.. The full company name is called Actard now :P
 
9:03 PM
Blizzard released a game called Mists of Pandaria. I don't think I can be counted as a general fan. I am, however, a Diablo fan
PANDAS, FOR GOD'S SAKE
 
@Sterno Well, not yet.
 
@Sterno Thats a WoW expansion, not a game
 
@Sterno It's not a full game, just an expansion.
 
I am personally waiting for Titan
 
@James I forgot about that too
They're pretty damn far off my radar
 
9:04 PM
Cause I am sooo expecting it to be like Borderlands MMO :)
 
Okay, people, I apologize for not being ultra specific in my wording!
 
They;re like EA if EA didn't publish any games I care about
 
Main point: Mists of Pandaria = dumb name. Pandas = dumb idea
 
It is also not out yet
 
and that's really damn bad
 
FAE
9:04 PM
@Sterno they were apparently an easter egg in Warcraft or somesuch
 
@spugsley I missed the initial explosion of excitement, but you're very welcome :) I'm glad it worked out
 
@Sterno Well they couldn't call it "Mists of Asia-land: Featuring Pandas!"
 
Panda: Pandas of Pandaland
 
All it took to cure my wife's WOW addiction was getting pregnant!
 
@FAE There was a pandaren hero. Not so much an easter egg.
@Sterno Something tells me your pocketbook will still be sad.
 
9:06 PM
@Sterno this is kind of what I was getting at in my disgaea comments - in most RPGs its like "this next level will be appropriate for my characters" whereas in disgaea it's not always that way, especially since you can recruit new characters at any point, and you can reset their levels at times too
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer ah gotcha
 
Wait, that's not quite right.
 
@agent86 yeah, I guess resetting complicates things
 
Way back when, Samwise draws a picture of a panda.
Then, they put a cameo appearence (reskinned Furbolg) in WC3. Then, they put a Panda hero in the WC3 expansion.
Then, they are making pandas a playable WoW race.
And that's the history of pandas.
 
@RavenDreamer Then they teamed up with Dreamwork's Kung Fu Panda and an expansion was born
 
9:08 PM
You forgot the april fools joke of the panda express tie in
 
@James THAT WASN'T CANON! throws lore book at james
 
@Grace Can we get any ETA on the ME3 prizes.
Now probably isn't the best time to ask.
 
@RonanForman sometime between now and the heat death of the universe.
 
I'm back from being suspended! YAY!
 
@RonanForman second answer: 6-8 weeks (because everything takes 6-8 weeks)
 
9:11 PM
Thanks agent obvious.
 
@GraceNote Or some word on what will happen due to Razor being out of stock on the messenger bags...
 
apparently we should have picked some more common prizes
or ones that sucked more so less people would want them
 
@RavenDreamer You speak Blasphemy if you cite that Blizzard can do any type of wrong!
 
@spugsley okay, so NOW I can tell you you're welcome.
also welcome back
I fully expect a shrine to my awesomeness, however.
 
I got my prize from first round of LoL competition today

9:12 PM
@James Blizzard and Valve are the only two companies I know of that have posted something incredulous on April 1st... and then gone on to actually do it.
 
@agent86 I told you that I'd write you an epic ballad about how you are the master of Diablo 3 persuasion
 
@James Taking 12 years to release a partial game isn't wrong?
 
@RavenDreamer Think Geek.. that iCade thing was a joke and turned into a product.
 
@agent86 in case you missed it, what with my suspension and what not
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer I hate April 1st. It renders the internet pretty much useless.
 
9:13 PM
@spugsley Have you got te swearing out of your system? (and on camera)
 
@Tristan Ill flag things with sarcasm a bit better from here forward ;)
 
@spugsley I noted this, and then responded to you, not realizing your suspension.
 
@FAE Go on a minivacation.
@spugsley welcome back?
 
@RonanForman yes, I did another little Isaac playthrough and this one was much swearier since I had just learned about my Diablo 3 beta invite
@RavenDreamer I got suspended
 
@James And the tauntaun sleeping bag.
 
9:14 PM
@spugsley Yes. So you've said.
 
@JasonBerkan I think they had a shirt as well, the wifi or the drum one.. I forget which that was joke into shirt.
 
@spugsley I guess I should also say "I'm sorry" seeing as I did the thing that caused you to swear which caused you to become suspended. But I won't, so HAH
 
@RavenDreamer I thought your "welcome back?" was a confused question
@agent86 I'll allow it :)
 
@spugsley As in, I'm welcoming you back, but I don't know if you want to be welcomed back, so I put a questionmark on the end of it.
 
@RavenDreamer ah, that makes much more sense. I will now counter with "Thank you?"
 
9:16 PM
@RavenDreamer The danish military decided to change the rules for how women are drafted for the military and announce it on April 1 a couple of years ago, a couple of papers thought it was a joke and didn't write a story about it before the next day
 
@Blem Mitch Hedberg died on april first, lots of people thought it was a joke since he was a comedian.
 
@James I think they're like valve, every joke is a market research op
 
@James That's the kind of joke he would have told RIP
 
@BenBrocka LoL, Could be
 
Saw a great article where every teaser for TF2 updates Valve evaluates which weapons people are most excited about, and then they actually make those
 
9:17 PM
@OrigamiRobot Yeah I actually think there was a clip of him joking about no one believing a comedian would die on april first, hehe
Loved his comedy though.
 
@James I'm pretty sure that League of Legends isn't market research.
 
@Ullallulloo Ha ha.. I was actually just laughing out loud :P
 
It's not even made by Valve.

Q: Does dragon maturity (past juvenile) have any effect on breeding?

EBongoAs I level my dragons, I've ended up with multiple individuals of different levels. Past juvenile I can use any of them to breed. Does a different level have any effect on breeding?

 
@Ullallulloo Flossing a dead horse eh? :)
 
9:19 PM
A lime floats.
The next time I am knocked overboard, I will not reach for a lifevest, I will reach for a lime.
I will be saved by the bouyency of citrus.
 
@RavenDreamer you'd have to be able to hold a lot of limes to make that work.
 
@RavenDreamer Most fruit does.
 
It was a Mitch Hedberg joke.
 
@Ullallulloo Mitch hedberg joke :)
 
current research into lime holding has determined that it is difficult to hold many limes
 
9:20 PM
@RavenDreamer gah
 
Track six will not be chain saw juggling
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer I saw him live!
 
@FAE I'd hope so. I can't imagine he would tell very many jokes while dead.

Q: technologies involved in cloud gaming service

asmi87I'm curious as to what technology differences there would be in a video on demand service and a video game on demand service? In both cases the server is doing the computing for the user. The server would have to contain the games available, and then be able to store user data on the cloud. Do...

 
FAE
@RavenDreamer :P
 
9:22 PM
@RavenDreamer le sigh
 
FAE
I saw him with Dave Attell and Lewis Black.
I was very sad when he died. :(
 
@GamingnotonGaming OhOh! I know! Real Time vs Buffered Video (What a stupid question!)
 
FAE
He didn't stay to give out autographs, but I did get autographs from the other two.
 
Lewis Black also == awesome
 
@FAE same :(
 
9:23 PM
I had an english teacher who had that sign on his wall, there is no such thing as stupid questions, just stupid people. And for the life of me I can not remember anything else about his class :)
 
user30
heh
 
user30
According to Ruby the Unix epoch is 1/1/1970 00:06. WTF indeed.
 
user30
However there's been 125 patch releases of Ruby since I updated to 1.9.3-p0, so it could be somewhere in there.
 
user30
@BenBrocka I wish, it breaks on Travis CI because theirs is correct.
 
9:27 PM
@ThomasMcDonald just subtract 6 minutes from all times!
That's the logical way to handle it
 
user30
Until it gets run on the CI server.
 
Then you just add 6 minutes!
 
user30
I did.
 
I found out this is a thing.
And then I realized I should probably not direct link that.
 
9:32 PM
@BenBrocka I think we discovered there is no limit when in chat :)
 
@RavenDreamer flagged
 
You know what.
 
I was just kidding
 
I think I'm just going to pretend I didn't link that.
Back to Mitch Hedberg.
 
Flagged for pretending
 
9:33 PM
@RavenDreamer it got posted previously by Resorath.
 
user30
So with the UK quickly running out of petrol, stamps and pasties, it looks like we might avoid recession this quarter.
 
user30
\o/
 
@agent86 Ban him!
 
Pasties? The things people put on their...things?
 
so you're not only doing something inappropriate, you're doing something inappropriate and late.
@BenBrocka that's different in the UK.
 
9:34 PM
Nice, the predominance of a woman to show off cleavage on a specific day backed by a company that clearly has no interest in the matter but just wants to promote women's control over their own lives and destinies...
 
A pasty (, ), sometimes known as a pastie or British pasty in the United States, is a filled pastry case, associated in particular with Cornwall in Great Britain. It is made by placing the uncooked filling on a flat pastry circle, and folding it to wrap the filling, crimping the edge at the side or top to form a seal. The result is a raised semicircular package. The traditional Cornish pasty, which has Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in Europe, is filled with beef, sliced or diced potato, swede (also known as a yellow turnip or rutabaga) and onion, seasoned with salt and ...
 
@agent86 I was wondering how they fit with the other things
 
@BenBrocka Ya never know.. Single mother's have needs too ya know ;) (this is a joke by the way :P)
 
@agent86 yeah those don't look they would stay affixed to one's nipple
 
9:35 PM
@BenBrocka I don't think you'd want to mix and match between them
 
Protected Geographical Indication?
 
@James some foods are named from the areas they come from, and in Europe some of these are protected
for instance, Champagne can only come from a specific region
other drinks must be labeled "sparkling wines" or somesuch
 
@agent86 Yes but... protected.. How? I mean, in what danger are they of?
 
@James think of it like a trademark
 
user30
Imitations
 
9:37 PM
Oh.. arseholism.. Got it :)
 
except that instead of protecting a single company's product, it protects the products produced in a particular region
 
Did you know! There is an area in france where you can be jailed/fined (both, not an either or) for planting certain types of grapes? :)
 
user30
I think Melton Mowbray pork pies have the same proteection
 
user30
A number of United Kingdom food and drink products have been granted Protected Geographical Status under European Union law through the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) or Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) regimes. The legislation is designed to protect regional foods and came into force in 1992. The United Kingdom has a relatively short list of these, partly because of the industrialisation of agriculture. This list is sourced from the official index published by the European Commission. Food and drink products Beer *Kentish ale Pro...
 
The whole origin of a thing being more important than the thing itself never made sense to me.. but now atleast I know why that acronym also makes no sense to me :)
 
user30
9:38 PM
Other protected UK foods
 
user30
Newcastle Brown Ale used to be protected. What.
 
@BenBrocka You need a better imagination ;)
Mmmm. Love me some New Castle
 
@Blem I like this @Lauren person. She's quite the troll. I respect that.
 
yea :)
 
@Wipqozn @Blem Haha, I was actually just looking at that.. Did you request the PS3, get told no, then get a PS3 anyways?
 
9:42 PM
we have some of that in the US, I think vidalia onions are only from a specific region, for instance
 
yea, was very suprised when i opened the box from amazon
 
@agent86 Yeah, they are called Sweet onions if not from Georgia (and maybe Hawaii)
@Blem Haha, Nice :)
 
I think she certainly wins the Troll of the Day award
 
this is the good kind of trolling though :P
we <3 you Lauren! Feel free to order more expensive things we want and send them to us for free!
 
Just to me, please!
 
FAE
9:45 PM
@agent86 Oh man, vidalias are so good
 
OMG FOUR PISTOL BULLET!
I AM VERY HAPPY!
 
Having a heck of a time getting these headphones working
can't get the rear channel to come out of my computer for some reason
 
@badp Not good. Very bad
@fredley are they USB or multi-channel input thingers
 
@badp I. Wat?
 
@BenBrocka Not USB, three 3.5mm jacks
 
9:48 PM
@RavenDreamer him english very well@
 
Which my laptop has
 
@RavenDreamer I AM YET TO MEET SOMEONE WHO CAN OUTSMART BULLET.
TO HED.
 
However it's extremely temperamental
 
FROM PISTOL.
WITH LASER SIGHT.
 
@badp seems happy.
 
9:49 PM
It cost four bullet to fire this pistol for twelve seconds
 
@badp Is this Team Fortress related? Or what.
 
Is not big surprise
 
user30
You are playing DX?
 
@fredley Which headphones?
 
@ThomasMcDonald yes
 
9:49 PM
Xtatic Digital
 
@fredley is one of the three in the wrong hole maybe?
 
@badp That was my 2nd thought.
 
I had to find pistol ammo in a damn ammunition box
 
It's just the shite software that's on my computer that's the problem
 
four pistol ammo
I have taken a revolver in the meantime but it's not compatible with the silencer I do have and lacks armor penetration and laser sight and...
 
9:50 PM
@Fredley The me3 prize? I thought it was USB.
 
Revolvers without laser sights? How disapointing
Should have waited for a better drop
 
@RonanForman There is a USB box, but it's only for PS3, or using the mic on a PC, bizarrely
 
borderlands logic
 
user30
In other interesting food facts, Mexico reckons it holds worldwide rights to the use of 'Tequilla' in product names.
 
@Fredley Crap.
 
9:52 PM
@RonanForman Or at least, when plugged in it only pretends to be a stereo device. I can't find a driver to make it 5.1
weird setup
 
I don't have a spare 3mm jack, let alone 3.
 
"Jarrod Dixon is now following you on Twitter".
 
Windows sounds playing, but not test sounds from the audio control panel, wtf?
 
I think I've just won a useless prize then.
 
bwhahahaha did you guys know you can blow up the beggar in Binding of Isaac? hahaha
 
9:59 PM
@spugsley You can also give him enough money to turn him into an angel.
 
@spugsley yes, but he's usually more useful alive
 
@murgatroid99 I realize that but I accidentally blew him up. And by accidentally I mean I was experimenting :3
@murgatroid99 also, I like to think of it as more of a bald she not a he. It's so much sadder if it's a little bald girl.
@RavenDreamer ooooo I haven't seen that yet
 
Oooh it's working!
But I have no idea how or why...
 
@spugsley He then drops an item for you, too
 
@RavenDreamer oh! that's what was happening?? She turns into an angel?!?! How exciting! I thought I just hit her so many times that she exploded
 
10:02 PM
Oh well!
 
@RavenDreamer I feel much better now
 
FAE
@Tristan You guessed that before I even started coloring in the flag!
 
@spugsley Well you can also blow them up.
 
I love how the robots aim for the head
effortless marksman kills GET <3
 
@RavenDreamer yes, I figured that out....by throwing a bomb at her
 
10:07 PM
@BenBrocka Epic Breeding Island is 125 Gems!?!?!
Thats going to take like 60 days at the rate I am going...
Yup, can only go Gems to Coins not Coins to Gems... arg
Yes yes... pay no heed to the mumbling mad man...
 
user2334
@RonanForman I'm intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter, but I have two questions: 1) do I need to be on vent/mumble/teamspeak/telephone/etc. to participate and 2) I know branch mining was prohibited in the MindCrack version, so presumably that's why it's banned for this, but do you happen to know why? Seems arbitrary.
 
@RonanForman Any progress on the map for this sunday?
 
@Spugsley I can't wait to watch this.
 
@MarkTrapp No VOIP, its in one of the comments :)
@MarkTrapp I also asked about the branch mining and its pretty much just dont do it in that pattern to optimize material gathering, but you can mine all you wan tto find caves/build passages :)
But yeah, does seem a bit.. Odd :)
 
@Mark Newsletter?
 
10:15 PM
@RonanForman awww I wasn't recording when I blew her up :(
 
user2334
@James Oh, I thought I skimmed all the comments sufficiently, but I have been thwarted by a typo :(
 
@MarkTrapp Haha, Yeah I saw the typo to and went void what? hehe Oooh Give away position, yeah voip i see :D
 
user2334
 
I felt like responding 'Only those of us in the alliance will be using my mumble server' ;)
 
It's so people actually have to take risks rather than just safely branch mining
 
10:17 PM
@RonanForman Yeah I guess easiest source of Gold is the nether... but you have a-lot of risk in going there.
 
user2334
If I were to participate, I'd just encase myself in 10 layers of obsidian
 
user2334
at y = 0. In the middle of the ocean.
 
@MarkTrapp you would starve
 
@MarkTrapp Haha, Watch the video in the post.. I think half the people die from 'natural causes' :D
 
user2334
@murgatroid99 Food doesn't deplete if you don't move
 
10:17 PM
@MarkTrapp are you sure about that?
 
@MarkTrapp Yeah, no jumping no picking == no drop.
 
user2334
@James Yeah, I followed Etho's perspective and caught the cross-chat for some of the others :P
 
user2334
@murgatroid99 99%-ish sure
 
@MarkTrapp I am up to date on Guude's I am watching Vintage's now cause I want to see what happened with the skeleton fallingon him :)
SEe if he was full of crap or not :)
I am wondering if doing this is going to get me to buy some video editing software though.. I just record with Fraps but a bit of some fast forward would seem to be in need.
 
@James VirtualDub might get you there
 
10:20 PM
@Mark Etho's great you should watch Kurts too.
 
it's what I've been toying around with a bit
 
@Mark If you play are you recording?
 
@RonanForman Do they record the whole thing THEN post the videos? Or can they go look at what each other are doing?
 
I wish I lived five years ago now with this particular idea I just got
 
@IanPugsley Easy to use/ good feature set?
 
10:21 PM
a parody of the color picker ribbonified.
 
@James They finished before starting posting.
 
You'd have a large WHITE button and a slightly less large BLACK button because metrics say people use WHITE more than BLACK.
Then there'd be a REDDISH section with a larger MAUVE button, followed by DARK BROWN and RED slightly smaller to the side, right above ORANGE and PINK.
Because MAUVE comes with extra ram and is the new RED.
and so on and so forth.
 
@RonanForman Ok, here is the question I really want answered. 21:15 rolls around. 4 people still alive.. What happens?
 
user2334
@RonanForman Well that's why I asked about the vent/mumble thing: I'm kinda interested in it, but mostly as a fun way to kill an afternoon and not as part of a big production. You know, log in, Lord of the Flies for a couple of hours, log out.
 
user2334
So I don't really want to record if I don't have to.
 
10:23 PM
@MarkTrapp I do wonder how much VoiP would ruin the experience.. I guess you would hear when people were together with shouts of Die Pig!!! and people screaming and such... but... I dunno :)
 
@Mark You don't have to, but I'd be nice :D
 
@RonanForman Oh, also.. Are we doing a Meet n Greet as they did in neutral territory first?
 
user2334
@James In the MindCrack version, they had that intro with all of them together, then turned it off when they switched servers
 
@James It'd ruin the commentary.
@James yeah.
 
@MarkTrapp yeah but I am wondering if they are more competitive than we are.. like you mentioned, an interesting drop in drop out thing, not a production
 
10:24 PM
If we weren't recording I'd say yes to mumble.
 
@RonanForman I suppose no voices in your head also makes you likely feel a little more paranoid
 
Who's dropping in? That's not allowed.
 
@RonanForman I just meant we are gaming for what, 3 hours and calling it quits after that?
 
@James we'll probably do a fight thing if we reach 2100.
 
@RonanForman Mandatory battle eh? Fun to see how That goes :)
 
10:28 PM
We probably won't reach that stage anyway.
 
Yeah with that small of a map I wonder if we wont have enough time for 2-3 rounds in that time frame :)
Watching these videos it reminds me of the old 404 challenge.. One day above ground, then head under and survive until you are ready to emerge again and wreck havoc!! :)

Hey @Paralytic
I have this huge fear that I am going to die from some Minecraft noob mishap like mining above me or below me.. or a ghast nailing the netherrack from underneath me..
 
@James I just bought the 250 gem pack to get that, figured the devs deserve 410 anyway. It's worth saving the gems tho
 
@BenBrocka I expanded my hatchery, hehe.
GOt a flower dragon to level 10.. 1 coin a second is nice :)
I was unfortunately not paying attention well enough to notice if level or saturation of dragons got me over the point where I had to decide between dragon count vs dragon level (spend coins on dragons or food)

Q: PS3 never enters the menu

Ben BrockaSo on occasion my PS3 just waits at the shining ribbon background, but never actually opens the menu. I have to pull the plug to even get it to turn off. After turning it off it wants to check the disc, but it never finds errors. No problems other than this, games play fine. Why does it do this ...

 
@James just keep leveling and getting more dragons. They're separate processes, don't worry about which helps more
 
@BenBrocka I am too the point where I do not think it matters.. I do need to start deciding which dragons to keep and which ones to let go though.. Just upgraded my Earth and Cold habitats though... 200k out the door..
 
@BenBrocka wat
 
keep one of each dragon for as long as you can, the hibernation cave;s not far off
@badp exactly
 
10:45 PM
@BenBrocka That where I can turn them back into eggs?
I saw that fountain of youth thing.. back to an egg but it keeps its level..
 
@James no, you store them
fountain of youth turns them into babies not eggs
