Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes Not as bad as the Case Western Reserve Campus

I once started in the middle of their campus, went south, and ended up north of where I started. My dad was equally confused by the turn of events.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote wherezat?

haha

That sounds like trying to around in Syracuse, with all their stupid one-way roads

@RonanForman Ah, true

Grace Note

This was walking. Case Western is... somewhere near Buffalo. I only know this because we stopped at the Anchor Bar shortly after we finally got out of the devil's labyrinth.

The NES version of Metal Gear had the better building theme. The building theme from the MSX version is here:

Q: Is the 'Ton an impossible shape?

In Deus Ex's Hell's Kitchen, it seems to me that there is an inconsistency in the 'Ton. If you check your compass as you enter or exit the 'Ton through Paul's apartment window, I think you get transported to another side of the building. It's very weird, can anyone else see this?

FallenAngelEyes

4:04 PM

@GraceNote Oh oh oh I see what you mean now. Yeah, I usually go through Buffalo to Ohio as well. I-90 to Erie.

Grace Note

I hope you've stopped at the Anchor Bar

FallenAngelEyes

My whole family's originally from the Buffalo area, so yus, I have had real wings :)

My extended family all lives in Buffalo suburbs, Amherst, Williamsville, Cheektowaga, Tonawonda, Getzville...

other half is in between Buffalo and Ra-cha-cha, in Pembroke

Grace Note

Amherst is in the wrong state wargh

FallenAngelEyes

There's this pizza chain here in the NL called New York Pizza and they claimed to have Buffalo wings

Arda Xi

@RonanForman Right.

I was confused.

FallenAngelEyes

4:07 PM

I was curious and longing for home so I tried them and was so so so very disappointed

Arda Xi

@FallenAngelEyes I really don't like NYP.

FallenAngelEyes

I think all they did was throw oregano on them or something :|

they were weird and not close to Buffalo wings at all

RedriderX

@GraceNote @FallenAngelEyes You're still here?

FallenAngelEyes

@RedriderX Yeeees?

Or do you mean in Buffalo?

RedriderX

@FallenAngelEyes Well... it's just...

Grace Note

4:09 PM

@RedriderX "Still here"?

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Having never had a proper Buffalo wing (I assume) - what makes them special?

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn It's the taste of the sauce

Grace Note

@AshleyNunn The Anchor Bar is where Buffalo Wings originated. The original recipe stands there.

FallenAngelEyes

very distinct

@GraceNote Though they lost in the competition with another restaurant this past year for best wings

My aunt and uncle took me to the place that won, though I can't remember the name off the top of my head at the moment.

Grace Note

I don't care for the best, I care for the original. And buckets.

FallenAngelEyes

4:10 PM

Hehe

Grace Note

@RedriderX Fallen and I are 6 hours apart

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Ah, makes sense. :)

agent86

@GraceNote What I find fascinating about the wings craze is that now chicken wings and thighs (usually the undesirable part of the bird) are now more expensive than chicken breasts

RedriderX

@GraceNote Oooh... Well i'm just stupid then.

Arda Xi

@agent86 That's just very good marketing.

FallenAngelEyes

4:11 PM

@AshleyNunn Buffalo residents are very defensive over what can be called a proper Buffalo wing!

Grace Note

@RedriderX Not really. To be honest, I don't actually remember seeing you here before, eheh...

@agent86 I never understood why thighs were undesirable. Dark meat trumps white meat any day.

RedriderX

@GraceNote Wow thanks.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote Yeeeeeeees <3

RedriderX

i'm not sure... were you talking about McMansions?

FallenAngelEyes

4:14 PM

@AshleyNunn Haha, which part?

If it's close enough to the Niagara border, they may very well be close :)

RedriderX

@GraceNote Oh, right

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Nowhere near XD Waterloo, Ontario.

user15026

@RedriderX grins hello :)

agent86

@GraceNote I feel similarly. I find it crazy though, since now they advertise chicken nuggets as being 100% white meat!!! but it's just cause it's cheaper to do it that way now :)

RedriderX

@AshleyNunn Howdy:)

FallenAngelEyes

4:15 PM

@AshleyNunn My Canadian geography sucks and is exacerbated by the fact that main Waterloo I'm familiar with is in upstate NY, haha

RedriderX

@agent86 Wait... chicken nuggets can't really be 100% white meat because they are Battered Right?

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Southwestern Ontario - think Torontoish, if that helps?

FallenAngelEyes

oooh okay, near Kitchener

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, the cities touch. :P

FallenAngelEyes

Considering how huge Canada is, I consider that close to the border, haha

user15026

4:17 PM

@FallenAngelEyes Relatively - most crossings are within a few hours, I suppose :)

FallenAngelEyes

One of my b/f's lives in Toronto and I also have friends in Guelph :)

Ronan Forman

This is a huge conversation you've started @FallenAngelEyes

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Very cool. :)

agent86

@RedriderX I think they exempt the batter, and talk just about the composition of the meat. It's a Marketing Thing (tm)

RedriderX

@RonanForman what about Canada?

FallenAngelEyes

4:18 PM

@RonanForman We seem to have started on accents and ended up with Buffalo wings

Though I hate the QEW >:(

RedriderX

@agent86 Yeah marketing

Ronan Forman

@RedriderX Canada?

FallenAngelEyes

And its penchant for closing at night without proper warning >:(

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes snorts That happens a lot with highways :(

RedriderX

@RonanForman ya @AshleyNunn Deep, dark secret is that she is from Canada.

Mana

4:19 PM

Canada is a pretty cool place.

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn I got stuck in a 3 hour traffic jam because the QEW decided that it was going to close. >_< I was on my way to meet my boyfriend in Toronto, driving from where my parents live in upstate NY.

Ronan Forman

@Mana I see what you did thar!

user15026

@Mana I happen to quite like it ;)

FallenAngelEyes

It took 3 hours to move 3 miles so I could hit an exit and try to get out of the traffic jam

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Oh, lovely :( That is terrible!

FallenAngelEyes

4:20 PM

then I got lost

and ended up in... Hamilton

Mana

@FallenAngelEyes aww :(

RedriderX

@FallenAngelEyes Um... do you have a GPS?

FallenAngelEyes

But this guy at a gas station was super nice

and let me follow him somewhere where I could get back onto the QEW

@RedriderX I don't even own a smartphone, so no

Random kindness in strangers saved my sanity that night

RedriderX

@FallenAngelEyes No not a Gas Person Savior.

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes I've had a similar thing happen. I left my aunt's in Collingwood and ended up in Mississauga (which are hours apart, and MIssissauga is about an hour away from my house in hte other direction)

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn Yikes!

RedriderX

@agent86 Oh okay my bad

by the way, where is @badp ?

agent86

Christmas/New Years being the other big one, more recently July 4th give or take. This predates the daily/weekly deals they're doing now. We shall see, but I'd find it highly unlikely that they would fail to produce a sale late this week or early next week.

FallenAngelEyes

4:40 PM

@AshleyNunn I've only had a steam account since 2008 and I have over 200 games now because of sales and indie games...

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes I have the same issue XD Add to that a GameHouse subscription for all my casual gaming needs, and I am so sunk XD

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn What's GameHouse?

user15026

It's a company that releases casual games (think Diner Dash, hidden object games, etc) - they have a monthly subscription that lets you play/download all the games you want for 20 bucks US. www.gamehouse.com

I am a big casual gamer, so I love it.

@FallenAngelEyes Haha yeah, I can see how that might be something you were willing to suffer through ;)

FallenAngelEyes

@JasonBerkan Is it the same or different than the Minecraft Pocket Edition?

Because I've played the demo for the Pocket Edition on Android

Jason Berkan

@FallenAngelEyes - I believe it is the Pocket Edition, but I don't have a wireless signal at the moment, so can't confirm.

FallenAngelEyes

@JasonBerkan The touchscreen interface was fairly intuitive and actually not that bad, but the thing is, it was only Creative Mode. No enemies. I'm an Adventure Mode player and love exploring, so I didn't purchase it because of that.

There's one statue in A Link to the Past that doesn't do anything until you throw the powder you get from the witch on it. Which is the same way you activate them in Link's Awakening.

But bought it anyway. To preserve my track record of OWN ALL THE BUNDLES.

@GraceNote All Introversion games, Aquaria and Crayon Physics Deluxe.

Grace Note

I don't know off the top of my head what the Introversion games are

Arda Xi

Darwinia, Multiwinia, Uplink and DEFCON.

@GraceNote Aquaria, Crayon Physics Deluxe plus Uplink, Darwinia, DEFCON, Multiwinia

for the former two you must beat the (falling) average

Grace Note

So, 6 games

badp

plus two tech demos, just because, and the other games they'll probably add a few days in the bundle

like they've always done

This city generator is pretty awesome.

Q: Are my Zelda saves transferable to another Wii?

I have tried to move several Wii saves from one console to another in the past with an SD card, and some games seem to have disabled this feature. I am currently traveling and would like to start playing Skyward Sword, but I want to make sure I can offload this save and take it home with me when ...

Q: Can I change the mouse sensitivity for the X and Y axes individually?

When flying the jet I have a hard time pitching up or down because of how slowly the jet reacts to movement along the Y axis. I also have a hard time rolling left or right because of how quickly the jet reacts to movement along the X axis. While this might make it easier to please Peppy, it mak...

@GraceNote No, I mean, orly because I still don't see the option to install it.

As I mentioned, I bought it myself and saved you $5

Grace Note

Hence you don't have it yet

badp

Oh. Yeah, I don't have it yet.

RedriderX

what is up with @Lazers?

Grace Note

6:47 PM

Owning the digital equivalent of a redeemable voucher ain't owning the game yet

@RedriderX It's a feed that outputs new questions on the site

Every new question on both the main site and the meta site will be periodically placed in here

badp

@GraceNote For the meanings of "owning" that you can apply to a game...

RedriderX

@GraceNote Oh, i did not know we had a subsidized spam bot

Grace Note

Well, prior to now, it wasn't really a spam bot

agent86

@RedriderX If it irritates you, you can also ignore it.

Grace Note

And it's still kinda useful. But if it bothers you, as @agent86 notes, you're free to ignore it

RedriderX

6:49 PM

@agent86 oh, yeah

badp

@RedriderX Just one?

agent86

@RedriderX I like it, so I don't. just throwing that out there.

badp

It's useful to keep an eye on the site without refreshing it like you have an OCD

RedriderX

@GraceNote well, i wasn't talking about it in a negative way

Grace Note

Some people do, though, and I'd rather not take assumptions on your motives. ♪

Arda Xi

6:51 PM

@badp One of them's justified.

Grace Note

I actually find the "[games] on other sites" feed to be very useful

RedriderX

@GraceNote Let me revise my comment: <coolness>Oh, I did not know we had a subsidized spam bot!</coolness>

Powerlord

hides the check from Gabe Newell

Subsidized? I have no idea what you're talking about?

RedriderX

@Powerlord Well... Where does it come from?

Powerlord

int client = *(int *)params[1];

That made me blink at first, but params is a void * array, and I need to pull an int * out of it and convert it to an int.

agent86

6:54 PM

@Powerlord this is correct.

Powerlord

:2503064 I changed subjects.

RedriderX

forgive me i had a brain lapse

Powerlord

and I have a meeting in 5 minutes. The good kind, with food.

RedriderX

I just realized Uplink bundle game has dialup

Powerlord

@agent86: Ironically, I'm dealing with SourceMod right now. \o/

RedriderX

6:56 PM

@Powerlord Yes, food nice

Powerlord

I'm writing some debugging stuff for an extension I wrote, because one user is reporting a bunch of errors. Was hoping to have it done before this meeting... whoops.

agent86

@Powerlord I'm sorry to hear that :(

RedriderX

@Powerlord wow

agent86

@RedriderX Uplink is Old Skool.

very 80s kid-hacker-movieish

RedriderX

@agent86 I did not say it was a bad thing
