The Bridge

kalina

9:00 PM

yes, I enjoyed the first one far more because it was original

Ben Brocka

That's why I only play the first level of any game then immediately quit

Powerlord

Well, the Portal 2 thing only applies if you play through both single and multiplayer compaigns. Granted, I think Portal 2's single player campaign took me somewhere between 6 and 8 hours the first time

kalina

the time played on my last Mass Effect 2 playthrough was 15 1/2 hours for a full playthrough + all DLC

which I found really surprising

I think I spent longer than that playing FTL

Powerlord

FTL is a roguelike though, isn't it?

kalina

yeah

user20683

9:03 PM

@kalina you might like Escape Velocity

user20683

it's like Single Player 2d EVE

user20683

and direct control of combat

Powerlord

Oh yeah, I got sidetracked. I was going to mention that Oracle apparently is delaying Java 8 from September this year to sometime next year for security reasons.

kalina

Java certainly is a security issue

user20683

Java web apps are

user20683

9:05 PM

regular Java is mostly fine

user20683

Android Java...

user20683

hard to say

user20683

and not really Oracle anyway

Powerlord

@WorldEngineer I assume you're referring to either applets or web start?

kalina

apparently there are rumours that ME4 will be out in 2014

Powerlord

9:07 PM

@kalina I thought they finished off the series.

kalina

@Powerlord the current story arc

Q: Continuing Donkey Kong 64 After Beating It?

I recently played through Donkey Kong 64 and am almost done it. I only have three golden bananas left to get—stupid “Beaver Bother”!—as well as the Nintendo coin. I know that I can go and do the final battle with K.Rool with just the Nintendo coin, but I have read that there is a different ending...

donkey-kong-64

kalina

EA doesn't "finish" series that print money, are you mad?

user20683

I suspect ME 4 would follow up on the Novels

Powerlord

@Lazers I thought you needed both coins to reach the final battle.

kalina

9:08 PM

well there is discussion on whether it should be a prequel or a sequel

there is quite a lot of story that they could make games out of

user20683

I was seriously thinking Heimdal Mitra was gonna be the male love interest for same sex in 3

user20683

since he's established as being gay in the novels

kalina

any future Mass Effects will not feature Shepard though

user20683

@kalina I could go with a Jillian focused one

user20683

would be neat to play an autistic character with superpowers

kalina

9:09 PM

First Contact War would be quite fun I imagine, but too much like a COD game

user20683

for those who haven't read the books, Jillian is basically Jack set to WTFBBQ power levels

Ben Brocka

I'm not Shepard, I'm my original character; Farmer!

kalina

Aelia Shepard is so badass that her eyes glow red

you should fear her presence, she might push you out of a window or something

user20683

@BenBrocka Commander Schafer

user20683

or Commander Pasteur

user20683

9:12 PM

though I think Afrikaans wins: Skaapwagter

user20683

or maybe Vietnamese: Commander Trong Nom

kalina

hmmm, apparently the Mass Effect movie is "currently in development"

does that mean they're still thinking about it or have actually started doing stuff?

user20683

@kalina tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DevelopmentHell

kalina

did you just link tvtropes to me?

please don't do that

civilisations rise and fall while I browse tvtropes

kalina

9:21 PM

@spugsley bake cake

Powerlord

@spugsley TVTropes is right there

OrigamiRobot

@kalina It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake!

fredley

@LessPop_MoreFizz More Daft Punk

Powerlord

@OrigamiRobot I'll pile on the sweets. It's such a pretty sight...

(and before you say "sweets" is wrong, I'll remind you that the voice for that character is different based on whether you watch the US or UK version, and this song is one of the times the line itself is diferent.)

Oh, look at my wrist. Time to go.

OrigamiRobot

@Powerlord I don't remember that line at all.

fredley

9:35 PM

Hour and a half until badge-get

kalina

fredley

fredley

badp

@fredley oh so now you're being racist, great

Let's consult the book of banninations ominous thunderstorms

kalina

assuming that all of these things at the start of MW2 are the last game, I must have played that too at some point

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot When I saw the message in my Inbox I knew what the context was. You're such a character.

spugsley

9:50 PM

@fredley holy balls that is terrifying

fredley

@spugsley It's just a man struggling to contain his load

spugsley

OrigamiRobot

OrigamiRobot

spugsley

badp

kalina

fredley

9:59 PM

@kalina One hour

spugsley

@badp did you miss where I was gonna drink an entire pitcher of peach schnapps moscato sangria earlier?

badp

...

or excited?

spugsley

10:12 PM

@IanPugsley just threatened to poop in our apartment and hide it and suffer through the smell just to make me miserable

Ronan Forman

@spugsley Hella guy that @IanPugsley

badp

Making others miserable is a noble goal

spugsley

@RonanForman don't encourage him

badp

I shall support him with my thoughts

Ronan Forman

@spugsley Classy too

Can't forget classy.

fredley

10:14 PM

@kalina 45 minutes

Ian Pugsley

@RonanForman the classiest

spugsley

@RonanForman hella classy

Ian Pugsley

spugsley

fredley

You can't have class without ass

Ronan Forman

10:15 PM

@fredley Unless you spell it wrong.

fredley

@RonanForman Clarse

Ian Pugsley

@spugsley let it be known that this threat was in response to you not wanting to go to the dentist

spugsley

@RonanForman unless you're Dolan

Ian Pugsley

and that you gonna lose all you teef

Ronan Forman

@IanPugsley Ooooohhhh Not it all makes sense!

spugsley

10:15 PM

@IanPugsley I CAN HAVE DENTURES IF I WANT I'M AN ADULT

Ian Pugsley

@spugsley YOU CAN'T BUY ME, HOT DOG MAN

Ronan Forman

Not going to dentist => Stink out the apartment. There's no flaw in that logic.

spugsley

@IanPugsley just told me to take a picture of my wang

:/

Ronan Forman

Just a thought, you don't need to transcribe every conversation you have.

spugsley

@RonanForman where's the fun in that?

kalina

10:18 PM

@spugsley so, strip him naked and take a picture of it then, just like he asked

spugsley

@kalina bahahahaah this never occurred to me

high five

kalina

high five

holy fuck

this is that mission that made the news isn't it?

wandering into an airport and killing civilians

fredley

@kalina What are you playing?

kalina

badp

Yessssssssssssssss.

I feel inspired

I need to grab Mario Paint or something now.

@YiJiang'sEvilClone will be my beta tester.

@kalina o.0

badp

@SaintWacko Didn't you know?

SaintWacko

@badp I've caught allusions to it, but never actually heard exactly what it was

badp

I'm sure it's easily youtube'able

"mw2 airport scene"

I wonder what happens if you don't shoot anybody.

or anybody.

fredley

11:00 PM

@badp Can you make me owner of MCT?

agent86

@badp nothing. the mission plays out the same regardless.

there's even an option to just skip over the mission altogether

in the thinly veiled excuse for a "plot" the terrorists stage the event to a) provide an excuse to kill the american who has infiltrated their ranks, and b) pin the airport carnage on the americans

so they go on a rampage, kill a bunch of civilians (whether you participate or not) and then they murder you and leave you to be found

thus paving the way for a russia/us war or something, I don't know.

all the call of duty games are just thinly veiled excuses to shoot brown people

used to be nazis, now it's africans and muslims :/

I say that, but even in a game like spec ops, murdering americans isn't really that much better.

I am bored of this game already

spugsley

11:28 PM

I am sad for no reason. Maybe it's the rain? Everything is feeling so blah at the moment

kalina

is it raining?

spugsley

yah

kalina

well then it could be the rain

maybe it's because you're bored

being bored makes me sad

Q: I turned off the electric fence in borderlands 2 too early, and now I can't go further in the quest?

I'm stuck in the Shielded Favors quest in the Southern Shelf. I was doing a different quest, turned it off, finished said quest, and returned to this one. Claptrap told me to run through the fence, but it was already turned off. I'm stuck in this quest now. Do I just ignore this quest or...?

Q: Controls list for noobs?

Can someone give a link to or explanation of the basic controls used in dota 2? For example: push to talk key for microphone, team chat vs all chat, if there is a town portal hot key?
