Sorry, @ArdaXi, no Consolas.

Much PF Tempesta was had however.

@badp I knew that. I'd never upvote you.

It doesn't fit in the design, sorry.

Me upvoting you? It definitely does not.

I'm going to fit my fist in Arda's face design soon if he doesn't drop the attitude.

So uh, who is @Resorath, and just what am I looking at here?

@Mana How long have you known me?

10:58 PM

@Arda I was keeeeeeeeeeeding.

@Mana A cute asian babe.

@badp A...a babe? What's a babe?

"Girl"?

Oh okay.

10:59 PM

@Mana Look up.

Maybe you should ask on Yahoo Answers. "How is babe formd?"

...dude she's like twelve what

@Mana Twelve? With breasts?

that's a horrible image and I'm going to go dunk my head in a bowl of holy water I conveniently have prepared

At any rate I don't want to go down that path tyvm

11:00 PM

The face, the face, I meant. I was exclaiming shock at how one with such a young face could be so uh.

@Mana I used that stuff once, to clean a wound. I still have a scar.

@Mana Right... you were looking at the face... sure.

So whats going on in here?

also thats Maki Goto

Nothing!

Hey @Resorath.

Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball or something?

wait that's an actual person

11:01 PM

Jpop superstar in a sense

Maki Goto

(born September 23, 1985) is a Japanese singer, lyricist and former actress. Born and raised in Edogawa, Tokyo, Goto began her musical career in 1999 when she joined Morning Musume as the only third generation member. Her first single with the group, "Love Machine", topped the Oricon singles charts and sold over a million copies. Goto was the lead vocalist of the group up until her graduation from the group in 2002. While still a member of Morning Musume, Goto released her debut solo single, "Ai no Bakayarō", in 2001, which topped the Oricon charts. In 2003 she released her debut album, ...

wow I suck

Your guys' Google-fu is horrible.

I just don't want to open up another tab.

And she's 26, not 12, @Mana.

11:02 PM

she started her career around 12ish though, for morning musume

actually looks like 14

At any rate, feel free to bring up Cowgod next time you want to discuss possibly inappropriate avatars :P

pffffffffft

but thats just a cow?

my favorite has to be three pigs eating from a trough. I totally can't find it right now though.

im at work so I can't use the keyword I want to use right now in google image search

it's cool, we don't usually like to go around throwing inappropriate images in the chatroom so that's probably for the best

also nice to meet you, surprised I haven't seen you around before. I would definitely remember that avatar otherwise.

11:07 PM

@Mana What about the murder thingy?

Wise @Mana.

@ArdaXi Murder mermaid did get flagged, right?

Oh right, that got @Less suspended. Good times.

@badp Why are you looking at me?!

No particular reason, you tailed one.

Q: Steam Dragon Age II release time?

@badp Tailed? Oh haha, very funny.

Looking on the steam application, it says Dragon Age 2 will be available on 10th March 2011, which is starting shortly in an hour. So I would expect it'll be unlocked at midnight. However, Steam says it will unlock in 1day1hour (instead of just 1hour) So which is it? Thank you

pc dragon-age-2

11:09 PM

@Bob Sounds like a localized question if I ever saw one.

@ArdaXi It should be noted that you have been supplanted as the top user on murder

You can't even spell murder.

the tag markup syntax is case sensitive?

that's dumb.

Also, Heya @grace

So, random question for you since you're around: Don't suppose you know anyone able to sell a Saturday badge for PAX east, eh? eh?

@Mana Fixxored.

No, I don't

11:11 PM

(I had though I wouldn't be able to make it, but it's looking like I can swing up for Saturday only if I can find a badge.)

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes, you can't have upper case in badges.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, well, what about suspension?

Thanks @badp

You're welcome.

@ArdaXi funny, I see 0 users tagged there.

11:12 PM

Actually I'll upvote this, because the time difference bite me in the arse in the past as well (Alien Swarm, e.g.), and might haunt me in the near future (Portal 2, e.g.)

«Can I play it yet. clickity Can I play it yet. clickity Can I play it yet. clickity Can I play it yet. clickity Can I play it yet. clickity »

Subject sporadically present, will continue research. Xi out.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Unfortunately, that's the one day that's always the most difficult

Subject Xi frozen in the Relaxation Vault

Well, if nothing else it looks like my ad will be the first rejected one. Rejected ads are as important as approved ads, as Area51 teaches.

@GraceNote Yeah, I'm well aware.

So, with you not making it, that makes... no one making it, it seems. At least, that publicly announces it

11:16 PM

sdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf @badp you got me all happy when I saw an edit had been done on Design For the Site

@Mana Using the design palette is important when trying to make ads that fit in the style.

Actually I should put that coloured bar at the bottom.

I want our lazers :(

Jin promised us lazers in 2 weeks.

So is there anything specifically bad about this ad?

We'll just make sure he keeps up on it. <3

Which ad, @badp?

A: Community Promotion Ads - 1H 2011

11:20 PM

Is it too cheap graphically? Is the meme old and tired? Is it just a bad topic?

-2

Oh, that one

I like how it has two downvotes already.

I hope it's the third

I can't see the colors working well on the site

three

<3

11:21 PM

@Mana I picked the colors from Jin's palette, as you noticed.

true

Personally, I just don't think it's really useful to use our in-house ad for. It strikes me as a Meta Gaming announcement more than a gamer thing. That's my thought pattern.

maybe they will then

I guess I should add a downvote, thus

I dunno, I'd center the text personally

also, way too wordy

even for a meme thing

11:22 PM

@GraceNote Eh, I still have some trees to shake.

Yesterday I had to deal with that meme and my brother on the ride home.

@GraceNote I'm fine with an off-topic ad; I just wanted to make sure it wasn't the design of it.

> Yo dawg, I heard you like going off-course, so I put a detour in your detour so you can go off-track while you're off-track!

stupid younger brothers

Although it does beg the question, how is a youtube embedded meta announcement different from a ventrilo server meta announcement?

11:23 PM

Elder

what.

(Does anybody here actually use that Vent server?)

@Grace I'm not sure I'd want to ride with your brother...

like right now.

@badp One is (allegedly, why not Mumble?) a gaming utility, the other is a Q&A utility

11:25 PM

@GraceNote @Zypher just went with what he knew, wrt Ventrilo vs Mumble

@FallenAngelEyes He's actually great. We got off-track because of a police barricade on our normal route

ah gotcha

2

@badp Hah, I heard that, actually. I just wanted to express agreement to what seems to be the consensus here.

No Caption Needed.

11:25 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Nice

So does that mean he opens up to contain the doll thing?

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm just having trouble with the verb, given that dolls don't have an actual use.

@badp I think plain-text ads are also bland, but that's personal opinion moreso than a design perspective.

oh wait I get it now

@GraceNote Design I can attempt to improve; topicality, not so much. I just wanted to make sure it was topicality.

11:27 PM

I thought the image was supposed to be showing similarities between their expressions.

but then I was like ha I'm dumb and it was true

@badp Well, my biggest beef is the topicality. I also am the current downvote on Yi Jiang's ad. No offense to him, but my opposition is the same.

I could replace what I posted with a resized version of this (with less jarring colours), I mean, but it's no longer the point.

Just wanted to make sure.

@badp I don't really have an issue with the design, I just don't think it belongs.

Do most of our users even know offhand what markdown is?

@LessPop_MoreFizz If this was Area51 I'd have gotten +50 then :P

@Mana The avid users who can really make use of it, yes.

neeext

11:30 PM

@badp I don't like most of the Area 51 house ads either.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Make more ads so that we get less of those.

I kept trying to make a GOG ad and failing miserably

anybody want to take over on that front?

Have you tried contacting GOG and suggesting it?

n

no

:(

I'm an 18 year-old comp sci student, I don't know how to interact with other people yet

Maaaaaan, ask your brother for help.

11:33 PM

im a 25 year old comp sci graduate. you never do

Also, food! The most important part of the meal! Later all!

peace

also glad to know my lifespan's going to be 25 years :(

so, before I post another -infinity answer

Would this be okay?

Man, I'm pretty much never available at that time :(

Let's try, then.
