Hi Ari

I'm going to be looking for a new spare time project in a few weeks. If anyone is looking for a programmer send me a mail, [email protected] or find me on here :)

Languages I'm most familiar with are C++/C#/Objective-C/Haskell/Java/Javascript/SQL/Ruby

Ari Patrick

16:39

@CiscoIPPhone I thought you were already working on something with your girlfriend/wife

Jeff

17:27

hey @AttackingHobo, missed both your last two @'s!

AttackingHobo

@Jeff hello

You should buy Super Meat Boy on steam

its on sale for 30 more minutes

@AriPatrick you should do the same, hurry!

Jeff

I don't actually have steam yet! everyone's always telling me to get it but I never got around to it

plus i'm not a huge fan of meat boy, I prefer Jumper :P

AttackingHobo

YOU SHOULD BUY VALVE COMPLETE PACK

Jeff

wow, $50 for all those games?

AttackingHobo

Yes, and Every one of them is good

Jeff

17:30

I use to be into CS back in the day, but now I'm not so much of a shooters guy

I'd really like to play through portal though

AttackingHobo

dude, buy it

the pack

Jeff

plus I never actually played half life 2, I could see myself getting through that

AttackingHobo

HL2 is pure awesome

Buy that, and Garry's mod

Jeff

how long is that complete pack on sale for?

AttackingHobo

end of the month

I sent an email to Gabe Newel(valve head) asking about Adobe AIR on steam, he forwarded it to a person, and they sent me an email back confirming that they support adobe air aps. YAY

Jeff

17:41

that's pretty sweet

god I should buy that portal game

AttackingHobo

@Jeff NO

Jeff

that's pretty much the only one I think i'd really want in that pack tbh

AttackingHobo

Buy the entire pack!

Jeff

yeah...or I could ask for it for xmas...

AttackingHobo

HL2 +ep1+ep2 are fucking awesome games

AMAZING story

Jeff

17:42

that is true, I would like to play some HL2

Noctrine

I still haven't played them.

AttackingHobo

if your not good at shooters, put it on easy

Jeff

plus being able to play CS now and then would be fun

AttackingHobo

@Noctrine YOU TOOOOOOO BUY THE VALVE COMPLETE PACK

We should make an official(unofficial) GDSE mumble server

Noctrine

I have Team Fortress

Enough Half Life

portal

both left for deads

and hate counterstrike

so no.

AttackingHobo

17:43

@Noctrine what is your Steam name?

Noctrine

I think it's Noctrine_dds

Nope just Noctrine

Jeff

how often do these things go on sale?

Noctrine

steamcalculator.com/id/noctrine

Jeff

I don't really feel like making an impluse buy lol

Noctrine

All the freaking time.

Every holiday and every few weeks steam has massive sales

You can tell when one is coming up because the daily specials will suck for awhile before them.

Jeff

17:45

haha lol

Noctrine

I kind of want Deus Ex, but in like 15 more minutes there will be all new stuff

AttackingHobo

Jeff, check steam out each day till the end of the month

Noctrine

Steam sales have a habit of pissing me off. I get something and then they have a better deal on it the next week

AttackingHobo

cause they have daily specials that are stupid cheap

Yeah, don't buy anything right now, unless its a daily special

steamcalculator.com/id/AttackingHobo

Jeff

hey @AttackingHobo, how's world of goo on pc?

Noctrine

17:48

Nice

I wish they would calculate the random games I've added to Steam that I didn't buy from steam

Jeff

I've been seriously considering getting it for wii (two wiimote support!)

AttackingHobo

Pretty good, although its only a few hours long

Noctrine

Even though thats entirely lame because they don't get the overlay and steam is a memory fiend. (And thats using the nicest language I can come up with it)

Yeah, my little brother beat it in relatively no time.

AttackingHobo

@Noctrine, I added you on steam, what do you mean they have no overlay?

Noctrine

When I just add something randomly

You know how you can make other games show up on steam. Most of my games are normal ones.

AttackingHobo

17:51

They work fine for me...

adding a non-steam game, alt tab bam list

Noctrine

It works, I'm saying its pointless lol.

AttackingHobo

@Noctrine did you accept my friend request.

Noctrine

Since they don't get any benefits except for being in a menu that takes me forever to launch.

Logging in

I'll have to do it at home, I forget the password right now

AttackingHobo

haha ok,

I type my pass each time for steam

So my brothers can't mess with my games if I forget to lock my pc

Noctrine

I never forget to lock my PC, and my brothers / cousins rarely visit. Occassionally I leave a guest account activated for them to use just in the event that I'm feeling nice.

I can't even stand up without pushing [super]+l

Force of habit from, 'see how much damage we can cause when X goes to the bathroom' contests at work and in dorms.

AttackingHobo

17:59

My hand was cold, so I spun around and swung my hand to bring blood too it, and it hurt my fingertips

@Noctrine password hacking disks allowed?

Noctrine

Not at work, that happened once in the dorms though.

AttackingHobo

@Noctrine wow, this looks cool store.steampowered.com/app/67000

oh, I played the alpha/beta a long time ago

Noctrine

@AttackingHobo Trippy.

AttackingHobo

Damn you steam and your sales!!!!!

Noctrine

If only it was just a visualization so I could tack it onto itunes / wmp

Jeff

18:11

haha i was just playing that demo

Noctrine

I <3 L3DT.

CiscoIPPhone

@AriPatrick I am working on something now, I'm looking for something new to start working on in advance of me finishing this :p

(confident I will finish this in the next few weeks)

AttackingHobo

@CiscoIPPhone I might need some help with a highscore board with replays and comunity cheat reporting

AttackingHobo

18:46

Resident Evil 5 is $10 on steam!

Noctrine

Mmm, dilemma I want to answer that megaman question. But I am to lazy to atm.

Another question, should games without modding support really be tags here?

I guess it could be helpful for Rom hackers, but I don't know if we have a legal stand on that.

@Noctrine sometimes I like peoples questions that can be answered with a google search. Easy rep :)

A: MUD source code

http://www.andreasen.org/newmud/ Looks like a good resource, with a list of over 30 different open source MUDs. Just for reference I found this by searching Open Source MUD on google.
