frankly those names aren't all that original.

they should have made them all the real names of MCU and DCEU characters.

phantom42

01:27

@KutuluMike just checked the CW app on Xbox. Don't have any eps of arrow/flash/lot at all. Previews and featurettes for flash/arrow

KutuluMike

lame.

phantom42

On the bright side they look to have all of TSCC

KutuluMike

as.

f$@$%

phantom42

And constantine

KutuluMike

Constantine is on CW Seed

so is The Sarah Connor Chronicles

that must be what you're seeing.

do they have the old Flash?

phantom42

01:31

Yup

Also have vixen

KutuluMike

yup, that's the whole Seed lineup.

does the xbox have a web browser?

I don't feel like turning mine on :|

phantom42

Yeah. I'm on cwtv.com now. Video requires flash player.

KutuluMike

Q: What computer operating system was used in Batman Vs Superman Movie?

Which operating system was used for Batman Vs Superman especially batman's computer & Wonder woman's laptop? looks like arch not sure or customized Linux ?

Dr R Dizzle

07:35

Angourie Rice (The Nice Guys) has joined the cast of Spider-man: Homecoming.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle What role she is playing? without changing hair colour she can be Gwen Stacy or Felicity Hardy

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma She's way too young to be playing a love interest dude.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle spider man is too young too and we have seen pre teen love in way many films

Dr R Dizzle

Tom Holland is 20, Angourie Rice is like 14. It'd be really weird.

Ankit Sharma

She is 15 and Tom is 19

I have seen many happy couple with 5 year gap in age

And there film age can be different from film age

They can make her Felicity and keep her in extra fro few films and later she can become black cat. We have already seen his other major love interests better to bring new ones now for live action

And to me Felicity looks more GF of spider-man then peter Parker

Dr R Dizzle

07:48

I really don't see her playing the love interest of anyone when she is that young in comparison to everyone else cast so far. Like, I'd be really surprised.

Ankit Sharma

Who said to bring the love in first film?

When is first film coming - 2017, second? maybr 2019/20 etc.....she will be 18 by then

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma And he'll be in his mid 20's. I understand that in the grand scheme of things the gap in age between them really isn't that much, but she's still the youngest member of cast by some margin so far, and I'd be surprised if she was meant to play a character the same age as Peter Parker.

Ankit Sharma

There casting announcement are too blurr for now

so lets see how things go

I always loved how Spider man animated series used felicity's story. they connected her with super-soldier serum of captain america and then she joined morbius and blade's team.

But she was not that big character in start, it grown slowly

Anyway Sam Raimi was also in plan to bring Felicty in Spider man 4, not as black cat but female vultur.

user116211

09:13

So, did anyone play Pokemon Go?

user116211

I really want to know when it is hitting the Indian stores.

user116211

I've never played any augmented reality games till now.

Dr R Dizzle

It's still not out in the UK yet, which is frustrating.

user116211

I've no interest in matters of UK anymore.

user116211

Nevertheless, they have not officially announced when to release in other parts of the world.

phantom42

10:51

@DrRDizzle holland may be 19, but peter is still in high school

@MAFIA36790 finally got it downloaded last night. took an hour to get installed/started due to the servers being crushed, and then there was about 2 minutes of usable content since i wasn't about to go walking around my neighborhood at 1am

@AnkitSharma felicia == black cat. felicity != black cat

bye, felicia.

people complaining that a 15 year old can't be iron man. people also seem to forget that peter parker was 15 when he became spider-man

or that kitty pryde was 13 when she joined the x-men

KutuluMike

weren't all of the X-men like, fresh out of high school when they joined?

prof. x secretly macking on 17 year old jean grey?

phantom42

some of them were slightly ambiguous, but generally, yes

i think the OG x-men were typically more like HS juniors and seniors except for bobby, who was described as the youngest

and i think the new mutants were all more like freshman ages

i always got the impression that hank and warren were a bit older, scott in the midle with jean, and then bobby

i may just be making that up though

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 Aye, but I think Marvel are smart enough to avoid getting a 20 year old actor to "fall in love" with a 15 year old actress.

KutuluMike

well Xavier's school masqueraded as a legit boarding school for high-school students. so they had to be at least that old

phantom42

@DrRDizzle do we even know who she's playing yet? the articles i read had no idea

Dr R Dizzle

11:05

@phantom42 No, we don't. This is all speculation, and I'm giving reasons for why I don't believe she'll be playing a love interest.

Ankit Sharma

11:36

@phantom42 Ooops, sorry

Himarm

12:03

yawn, got my squirtle

bought to go driving around town on lunch

phantom42

@AnkitSharma i was reading your messages early this morning and was just really confused for a bit

@Himarm started with charmander because charmander is life

got a couple on my way into work

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 That dumb felicity from arrow not leaving my mind

phantom42

tip: turn off AR

as cool as the AR is, you have to be pointed toward a location while trying to catch the pokemon

if you turn it off, it locks the location so you can turn away and keep moving if you need to.

Himarm

my camera doesnt work

so i cant use that option

do i actually have to walk or can i drive around

phantom42

you can use it while you're driving, but you need to be safe about it obviously

easier if you have lots of lights/traffic

i just turned it off while i was on the highway

but while i was in the suburbs and downtown hitting every light, it was perfect

Himarm

12:07

ill be dead on my way home

phantom42

it works based on photos uploaded to... something not 100% if its flickr or google or what

geotagged photos

Himarm

i of corse have 0 geotagged photos

phantom42

not yours

ones that other people have uploaded

to some server/service

Himarm

so i can browse other peoples photos and encounter pokemon?

phantom42

you dont browse

so like in downtown orlando a bunch of people have uploaded geotagged photos to whatever service the game uses as its library

i dont know what it is, but it's got to be something like flickr or google photos

so the service picks spots based on those photos

so like downtown someone took a photo of the church, geotagged it and uploaded it

that came up as a pokemon stop

where you can get items

then there are just random spots that don't seem to be geotagged based where you find random pokemon

user116211

12:10

@phantom42 Did you use it?

phantom42

@MAFIA36790 yes

user116211

Can the water Pokemons be only found near water bodies?

Himarm

ah

phantom42

@MAFIA36790 no. i found a goldeen in a parking lot

Himarm

yeha next to my work is a church

and the church had a picture in the pokemon app

so i assume if i go into the churches parking lot i can find pokemon

what do i do if i think i found a sock

phantom42

12:12

i found a nidoran on a random sidewalk in my neighborhood

@Himarm what?

Himarm

i think i found some guys sock

phantom42

@Himarm geotagged photos seem to mostly be gyms and pokemon stops where you can get eggs, pokeballs, and other items

random encounters are just randomly* placed through the world

Himarm

pokemon is so complicated

i wish they were real

the world needs to step itu p

user116211

@ankit, we are very unfortunate that Pokemon Go still has not been released in India :(

phantom42

*no idea if its actually random, but there doesnt seem to be anything consistent yet

Ankit Sharma

12:14

@MAFIA36790 i don't care ;p

Not into Pokemon

user116211

@AnkitSharma o.O

user116211

@AnkitSharma ohh.

phantom42

so far, i've got charmander, drowzee, eevee, venonat, goldeen, spearow, zubat, rattata

you need to be level 5 to battle in the gyms, but i hit level 3 just coming into work

catching however many pokemon that was

Ankit Sharma

I even needed Google to know, if it's about a game or a new TV series ;D

user116211

It has been released in Japan and Aus also.

Himarm

12:15

yep ill be getting home at midnight driving around looking for pokemon lol

phantom42

yeah, it definitely encourages you to explore

user116211

@AnkitSharma you are embarrassing yourself ;( Don't tell me you only listened to radio during your childhood days ;P

Ankit Sharma

@MAFIA36790 I only prefer radio which have minimal to no advt

user116211

@ankit T__T

phantom42

im annoyed because there's a pokemon stop (item thing) across the street from my office but i'm too far to hit it without actually going across

Ankit Sharma

12:18

I used to see Pokemon as Anime, followed it till middle of johto league. Not played any of those games

user116211

@AnkitSharma much better

Himarm

theres a gym on my office

phantom42

the show went downhill after orange league anyways

johto wasn't bad, but pretty much everything after it was

user116211

The new pokemons are not as charming as the old ones.

Himarm

i never really watched the show

mostly just beat crystal over and ovr again

but i have most of the ds-3ds games

user116211

12:21

CN sometimes shows episodes of Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl

phantom42

people talk about weeping after watching jurassic bark on futurama, but that ep never did anything to me

but bye bye butterfree in s1 of pokemon? like a little kid with a skinned knee

or the ending of the first movie

with pikachu trying to revive ash

Himarm

imgur.com/8TwSvTG semi nsfw

user116211

My first movie of Pokemon was something related to Mew and Mewtwo.

user116211

And a small girl.

Himarm

Ankit Sharma

12:26

@Himarm sound scary

Himarm

i.imgur.com/jJoBtqk.png chamander gana catch this heat

i.imgur.com/Qn7Vxqp.jpg this is gana be hilarous

phantom42

but you dont have a working camera

so you just see them in a generic grass setting

Himarm

i know

fing phone

phantom42

wtf phone do you have

Himarm

the first line of the 6 pluses all had busted cameras

it has a free repair but id have to go into the apple store

for days

phantom42

12:36

wha? i've got some friends that had launch pluses and have never had issues

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 Is it as much of a battery drain as people say?

phantom42

whats with people writing answers "yes, this happened, but i'm not going to bother to provide any evidence"

@DrRDizzle not sure yet. i keep my phone plugged in in the car

while i was messing with it last night, it went down a few percent, but nothing out of the norm at the time

Dr R Dizzle

It needs to hurry up and come out in the UK already.

phantom42

there's a battery saver mode that i have turned on

Himarm

they had a massive issue with black screens on the plus camera

phantom42

12:39

no clue how much it helps

Himarm

some peoples worked

but when it did work the camera showed everything with pink lines

it litterally didnt work since the day i walked out of at@t

user116211

WTH ;/

user116211

They didn't release it for Windows T__T

phantom42

what? windows phone?

user116211

@phantom42 did they?

Dr R Dizzle

12:48

Windows Phone don't got no apps.

phantom42

not that i've heard. i'll ask the other person in the world with one.

they probably wont release it for blackberry either

Himarm

13:23

the engenieers we work with are like high as hell

this one is telling me X option should be available for X fan, and im sitting here like, 1. its not currently available in the old program, 2. this fan goes through the fortran code and i have no idea if sending X option through will even work. 3. dont send this in an error report, when your asking for a new feature

i had 15 errors today, 14 of which were requests for features

written like its my fault they dont already exist /sigh

"the air density on these fans are 2 high for X option to be available, Why is X option still available idiot" " because the dumb ass old program has it available, and im not a mechanical engineer stupid, i dont have schematics over hear for fks sake"

Himarm

14:27

This obie dude tries to 1 up me on every harry potter question

3

A: Was the choice of 'Mimbulus Mimbletonia' as a password a coincidence?

There appears to be No in-universe reason that the password was Mimbulus Mimblentonia Looking through the text, we don't see anything to says Neville was involved with the password selection. Searching quotes, at least to my knowledge JKR herself has nothing to say on this as well. Harry ha...

hes talking some mad speculative shit

and people eat his shit up

Dr R Dizzle

That's a decent answer.

Himarm

thanks for the downvote /sigh

Jack B Nimble

I think the first part of his answer is fine, but the part of Dumbledore has no basis anywhere.

Himarm

he'll be the next mod too

Jack B Nimble

14:42

Obviously I could never be elected.

Himarm

yep yep

KutuluMike

welp. this will be the most miserably 23.5 hours of my life.

Himarm

testing for 23 hours straight?

KutuluMike

@Himarm harry potter expert; brand new to the site; started stupid drama in chat. I think he's got all the qualifications.

yes. i have a catheter down my esophogas.

Himarm

im gagging already

KutuluMike

14:53

they're all "just eat and drink and sleep normally."

right.

lemme shove a plastic tube up your nose and down your throat, plus a giant recording device into it, then take you out for lobster.

Himarm

does that mean you can get drunk?

if thats normal?

KutuluMike

i guess i could but would you want to be drunk with a tube sticking out of your nose?

sounds like a recipe for trouble

Himarm

well vindication is mine

the dark lord accepted my answer

microsoft.com/en-us/store/tv/dragon-ball-z/season-1-hd/…

season 1 of dbz free on microsoft store

phantom42

16:01

@Himarm isnt that axelrod?

it was someone who changed their name wasnt it?

Himarm

johna

jonah

*

right and he named himself obie, so i did a meta question to shame him back to his old name, and he called himself obie 2.0

KutuluMike

Yes. And now I have an irrational and permanent hatred of him.

Himarm

the entire chat in mos told him he was trolling some 10 plus people

KutuluMike

ugh.

time to go eat lunch.

WISH ME LUCK

isn't that a thing of beauty?

Himarm

LOL

phantom42

16:07

when it comes to mos, the only way to win is to not play the game

Jack B Nimble

I never watched Dragon Ball Zed, but I will take a free season of it.

Himarm

is good

phantom42

i watched the first season, i just couldnt really get into it

wasn't bad, just got bored of it quickly

especially when goku spends like 20 episodes powering up an attack, and in the meantime an entire mini story arc happens with another shorter fight and i think someone dies... and then goku finally uses the attack and it does nothing

and i think like an entire planet is destroyed during that time too

did people call voldemort a half-blood?

i thought nobody knew

except like..dumblydore

EBrown

Dumbleadore?

Jack B Nimble

I was under the impression that everyone knew who the pure bloods were, since they are supposedly so rare.

Like there is a list of pure bloods.

phantom42

16:22

why would death eaters follow voldemort if they hated halfbloods then

Jack B Nimble

I think it was more Voldemort wanted to elevate magic users and suppress Muggles.

So first order of business, kick out all the Muggleborns, since they are probably Muggle sympathizers.

He did pretend to be pureblood, because his mother was, and he hated his Muggle heritage.

KutuluMike

he also killed his pure-blood father, didn't he?

Jack B Nimble

Not really clear what makes someone pureblood anyways. How is it the Weasleys, LongBottoms, and James Potter were pureblood, without them intermarring to the extreme like the Malfoys, Blacks, and Lestranges?

KutuluMike

@JackBNimble there is a question about it.

Jack B Nimble

He framed his pure-blood grandfather for the murder of his Muggle father.

KutuluMike

16:27

JKR took the nazi metaphor right up to the edge, even used the nazi definition of "jewish blood"

to be pureblood, all 4 of your grandparents had to be wizards

that's why harry was a half-blood, one of his mom's parents was muggle I think

Jack B Nimble

James Potter was pure, Lily was Muggleborn.

KutuluMike

So who wants to hear all the gory details about my gastric test?! ANYONE?!

pro tip: never agreed to a gastric anything test. prefer death.

there has never in the course of human history been a "gastric ___________" test that was not the worst thing you will ever do in your life until you next one

phrases like "you'll only gag for about 5 minutes" and "After an hour or so the stomach acid will soften it up and you can sit down again" are commonplace.

Jack B Nimble

Could be worse, could be stabbed.

KutuluMike

rather be stabbed

KutuluMike

16:43

oh good lord they expect me to eat like this?

phantom42

no, mr bond; i expect you to die

Himarm

17:01

voldemort also was proven to be syltherins heir

but the death eaters did not know voldemorts parantage

bellatrix freaked out when h arry told her

rather voldemort proved he was to the death eaters so thats major street cred

KutuluMike

thpt.

i hate when someone says something I really want to flag. i feel like a hypocrite

Jack B Nimble

I flagged something once. It was an inappropriate image. I'll leave it to you to guess who.

KutuluMike

did it spawn a week-long meta discussion?

Jack B Nimble

It was before that, but the same person.

KutuluMike

so pokemon: go is out.

wherein you see pokemon in the "Real world" and hunt them.

Jack B Nimble

17:06

I only know that because there like 30 questions for it on gaming.se

KutuluMike

I predict this will go awesome when combined with gun-toting rednecks and beer

Himarm

Jack B Nimble

Gotta shot'em all.

Himarm

gota risk it for those pokeballs

KutuluMike

@Himarm that's clearly a stealth mission

Himarm

17:15

got an electrabuz at wendys

phantom42

i got a bunch of pokeballs and an egg at the playground in my neighborhood

Himarm

so many middle age men are gana show up to playgrounds

lol

phantom42

the image for the stop is the the slide at the playground

KutuluMike

so what do I need to play pokemon:go?

Himarm

a smart fone

KutuluMike

17:19

although, if it involves walking around, that's a bit of a deal breaker for me

Himarm

you can drive around

i.reddituploads.com/…

the gym at the white house has a blastoise guarding it

apperently cemetaries are big spots for loot

so many people must tag graves

reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4rngo7/…

pikachu starter

if you walk away from the other 3 starters

KutuluMike

17:37

is angry birds on topic?

Himarm

yes

user132126

@AnkitSharma My wife and I are 5 years apart, she's the younger.

phantom42

has anyone figured out what photo service pokemon go is using for their source?

cuz i'll photo and upload the hell out of my neighborhood

Q: How are Pokestops chosen?

After playing the game for a little while, I've noticed that Pokestops are chosen seemingly at random locations on the map. A few of them are even in inaccessible places; an abandoned church building, inside of an airforce base, etc. How are these locations chosen as Pokestops?

pokemon-go

KutuluMike

17:52

@phantom42 if it's anything like ingress, that will take forever.

user132126

@KutuluMike Clearing my Chrome cache apparently got rid of my settings to black certain images. Bah. At least I can get the code in the chat history easy.

KutuluMike

I got 9 of my ingress submissions rejected and one approved.

18 months after I submitted them and 12 months after I stopped playing.

div.user-145338 div.ob-image, div.user-145338 div.ob-youtube {

div.user-175545 div.ob-image, div.user-175545 div.ob-youtube {
    display: none !important;
}

adjust the user numbers to suit, obviously.

phantom42

lame

KutuluMike

each block is one user.

@phantom42 but ingress was also very picky about what spots counted... they had to have some kind of cultural significance.

"the grocery store" didn't qualify :)

pokemon might not be so picky.

phantom42

yeah, one of them today was like the fountain in the lake i drive by

not really culturally significant

and all the stops have photos, so not just purely random locations

KutuluMike

17:55

ingress was about 40% churches, 40% landmarks, and 15% public parks. only a tiny handful of "other things"

phantom42

the spots where pokemon are found are (probably) totally random

pretty sure one of the gyms is at a tijuana flats

Himarm

did you guys read that answer

KutuluMike

> This app is incompatible with all of your devices.

Himarm

pokemon go is using ingress's locations

KutuluMike

and... so much for that.

ah, that would make tons of sense.

Himarm

17:56

ingress is also not taking new locations

KutuluMike

but they must have more. maybe they're using all the rejected ones

Himarm

pokemon go has less then ingress

phantom42

yeah i read it, but it didnt really match what mike was saying about ingress

user132126

@KutuluMike That is pretty lame!

KutuluMike

note that I stopped playing ingress back when it was still Google and relatively new.

they played it up as a way to encourage people to explore the cultural sites in their area. not as a game

they may have relaxes their restrictions

phantom42

17:59

wife is out tonight anyways, so i'm going to take the long way home and check a few spots i spotted but wasn't close enough to on the way into work

will report back, but i'm fairly certain one was a bank, and a taco joint

KutuluMike

goddamnit, every time i sneeze, hiccough, or yawn this stupid tube shifts around.

user132126

Is the tube in your lung(s)?

KutuluMike

esophogas

in through the nose, down the throat, etc.

so my throat really wants it the fuck out.

Jack B Nimble

18:39

I might have tendinitis in my right elbow. Definitely as bad or worse than whatever Mike is going through today.

KutuluMike

...

no comment

(not re: you, jack)

Jack B Nimble

18:53

@phantom42 After you get arrested for breaking into the bank, make sure to tell them the pokemons made you do it.

KutuluMike

I WAS RESCUING THE CHARIZARDS
