@KevinY Did you notice I switched to Medic after people complained about me playing Dead Ringer Spy on Degroot? :D

TF2 announcer voice 1 HOUR REMAINING

Kevin Y

@Powerlord Mhm. :D

Arda Xi

@Manaಠдಠ That's the HL voice.

badp

@Manaಠдಠ that's what Arda said btw :)

Mana ಠдಠ

Oh.

Powerlord

Yes, TF2 voice would be "Mission ends in 60 minutes."

Mana ಠдಠ

7:01 PM

Well, I feel dumb now.

Powerlord

Except you'd have to modify it, because she doesn't say 60 and minutes in the same voice file.

Arda Xi

Ellen does not use the [0-9] (second|minute|hour)s? remaining syntax.

Buffalo Steak Sandvich + Eviction Notice is very fun to use on DeGroot.

@Manaಠдಠ DON'T DO IT

Not that you can, of course.

damn. :(

@Brant Now I want to play Quake Live.

QUAD MODERATOR.

Ronan Forman

@badp is that different to Quake or have you just been playing by post?

badp

@RonanForman Nobody has played vanilla Q3 for years now...

Powerlord

Quake Live

Quake Live is a first-person shooter (FPS) video game by id Software designed to run on x86-based computers running Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X or Linux that is downloaded and launched via a web browser plugin. It is a variant of its predecessor, Quake III Arena (Q3A). Quake Live is free to download and play.

This is not true.

Chrome is only supported on Windows, and only because Chrome supports Gecko plugins.

Q: How do I hack this computer?

Deus Ex Human Revolution has a slightly more complex computer/alarm hacking system than the original. I had been doing OK by guesswork mostly but since I entered the Detroit PD station, the network graphs have started getting more complex and now I have a Nuke virus that I'm not entirely sure whe...

Q: Two Worlds voice acting won't work?

I decided to pick back up playing Two Worlds, but the voice acting won't work anymore. I know that it did when I started playing it last year because I thought it was terrible, but now nobody has any voice acting at all, except my character will occasionally make a snarky comment when entering a ...

And for the 4th time, setting up Firefox Sync erased previous data and disconnected previously set up copies of Firefox

I don't want to carry sync keys around dammit

FallenAngelEyes

mmm cheeseburgers

time for more Bastion

badp

lol

I tried to open QL in Chromium - I swear this has worked in the past

I got a message saying "Due to an issue with the friends network in Chrome, you have been disconnected. Please use a supported browser (Firefox, IE, Safari) to access the site."

Okay then. I fire up Firefox. I set up sync and it wipes everything.

I try and install the QL add on, but it's not allowed. I allow it and it's not compatible (Ubuntu 11.10 has FF7).

I hunt and install the compatibility report thing and restart Firefox.

Now I get this:

Powerlord

@badp Ubuntu 11.10 is a Beta, so of course it's going to have a Beta browser.

Arda Xi

7:21 PM

2011-10 is the future, man.

badp

Arda Xi

@badp Heh. I love the fact you're getting Dutch ads now.

badp

So yeah,QL is after all incompatible with FF7

sjohnston

How long until we get some new overlords?

badp

we'll get the results right away, but Jeff has to switch the flip manually

Powerlord

7:33 PM

@sjohnston You must spawn more overlords.

badp

I had to wait ~10 hours (and only because I poked Jeff)

sjohnston

@Powerlord pfft. Real men construct additional pylons.

Mana ಠдಠ

Te...terran... raises fist weakly

Powerlord

@sjohnston WHAT? I usually construct additional supply depots. :/

Having said all this, I really don't play SC2, so don't expect and SC2 references.

Ronan Forman

We've been twittered!

oh.

Kevin Y

@Manaಠдಠ Disappointment.

Mana ಠдಠ

So. Much. Disappointment.

Powerlord

DID VALVE TWEET US?!

Grace Note

7:36 PM

We setup a chat event for that?

Powerlord

That was a joke, Valve only has one twitter feed that I know of, and it's the new/updated games on Steam twitter.

Mana ಠдಠ

@GraceNote Yes. I have no idea why.

badp

@GraceNote I have

Powerlord

@Manaಠдಠ Blame @badp

Mana ಠдಠ

Oh man, I forgot about that meme.

badp

7:38 PM

@Brant did you suggest completely wiping the tag wiki?

Arda Xi

Wow, that's long ago.

Remove all the things.

badp

@Brant Okay, suggestion rejected - without a "long" wiki, the excerpt doesn't show up for some reason.

Brant

@badp Yes, because having a long wiki which is identical to the short wiki is pointless and makes the 'about tag' page look dumb.

Wipqozn

Oh snap, election ends in 19 minutes.

badp

You have 19 minutes to change your mind!

Powerlord

7:41 PM

I changed my mind. I want to cast my votes for Me. Myself, and I

Wipqozn

What time are the results announced?

Anna Lear

Heh. Apparently I could actually vote for myself. I assumed they'd lock that out.

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn 19 minutes from now.

22:00 CET

Brant

Why not? Everyone* can vote, candidates are no exception. :)

* whatever

Arda Xi

@AnnaLear Votes are anonymous, so they can't limit that.

Wipqozn

7:42 PM

@ArdaXi Oh, okay. Wasn't sure if there was a delay or any sort.

Awesome possum.

Anna Lear

@Brant True, but I just expected it to work like the primaries - where I can't vote myself up or down. Well, anyway. Learned something today. :)

Arda Xi

I mean, otherwise we could tell who @Mana voted for by looking at the only vote that doesn't include @Mana.

Mana ಠдಠ

@Arda Wait...that sounds almost like...a compliment?? scratches head

badp

lol...

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi l o l

Arda Xi

7:44 PM

@Manaಠдಠ I just said everyone would vote for you.

Simon Sheehan

Just got that message, expect a flood of people to come in

Wipqozn

IT could actually be an insult to everyone, instead of a compliment to you @Mana.

Rapida

That pop up confused me until I realized I had the chat minimized

Arda Xi

@SimonSheehan You did?

Roland Taylor

I would have voted for @Mana and @MarcoCeppi but I can't vote :/

Mana ಠдಠ

7:44 PM

true

Arda Xi

Does everyone in the room get that?

Brant

Three dots…One character!

Marco Ceppi

@RolandTaylor I wasn't even running

badp

nevermind

sjohnston

@Brant Which still makes no sense...

Brant

7:45 PM

True.

Roland Taylor

@MarcoCeppi I didn't check everything, just the details of the post :)

Simon Sheehan

@ArdaXi I think its just because i'm in the room, but also on others :P So it pinged me.

Arda Xi

@SimonSheehan It pinged me too.

Ronan Forman

Arrrgg!!! gets crushed

Roland Taylor

I saw your name floating around in AU chat about this election so I put 2 and 2 together :)

I'm out now :)

Arda Xi

7:45 PM

@RolandTaylor To make 5?

Simon Sheehan

@ArdaXi I suspect its because you may have the room favourited.

Arda Xi

@SimonSheehan I'm registered for the event, and I think it just pings everyone in the room.

Simon Sheehan

Ah, most likely that then :)

Arda Xi

15 minutes guys.

badp

I have no idea why time.is's sound feature makes two beeps per second

Arda Xi

This is it.

This is...the moment

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

Now that i said "the moment", im tempted to play that Rebecca Black song.]

Ronan Forman

What song lasts 13 minutes?

Simon Sheehan

7:47 PM

@ArdaXi You read my mind.

Arda Xi

@SimonSheehan Beat you to it.

@ArdaXi No.

Damn it.

7:47 PM

Only by one second :P

Simon Sheehan

Damn you beat me to it @Powerlord :P

Powerlord

@Rapida Precisely.

@Rapida I think that's everyone

Arda Xi

7:50 PM

10 minutes left in the mission.

Ronan Forman

Does it post here? It should.

Powerlord

@ArdaXi I forget, does she say it just once or twice?

Arda Xi

@Powerlord She repeats the X left in the mission.

Simon Sheehan

So who actually announces it and stuff?

C. Ross

@RonanForman if it doesn't, some one will

Arda Xi

7:50 PM

@SimonSheehan Ellen McLain.

C. Ross

@SimonSheehan everyone, all at once

Simon Sheehan

@ArdaXi Thanks.

Powerlord

@ArdaXi I think he means the election results. ;D

Arda Xi

So many peoples.

@Powerlord Me too, but nobody announces those.

Anna Lear

7:52 PM

Here's a good way to kill 9 of the remaining 10 minutes:

Powerlord

@ArdaXi As funny as it would be to have the TF2 Announcer (or GLaDOS) announce the election results... not happening.

Arda Xi

@AnnaLear 7

Wipqozn

@AnnaLear mana posted that yesterday, good video.

Arda Xi

@Powerlord She did a wedding proposal.

Which is only marketed to, y'know, one person.

This involves an entire community.

Mana ಠдಠ

@AnnaLear But I could just listen to Exile Vilify for 7 minutes and it would have the same emotional effect!

Powerlord

7:53 PM

@AnnaLear I meant to go watch that yesterday after leaving work.

Whoops, I forgot.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Yay, I just cast my votes.

Powerlord

Also, TF2's Birthday event is going on today.

7:54 PM

5 minutes left in the mission. 5 minutes left in the mission!

Powerlord

@ArdaXi You forgot the little chirp sound at the end of the intercom turning off.

Ronan Forman

@AnnaLear The Skype sound is annoying

Arda Xi

@Powerlord Can't recall that right now. I feel fantastic.

Anna Lear

@RonanForman When? I've heard from others they are there, but I haven't picked them out myself.

Ronan Forman

near the end of test 1 it's a bleep

Arda Xi

7:56 PM

@AnnaLear There are a bunch of them in that video.

Anna Lear

I clearly don't use Skype often enough. :) I think I got the better end of that deal.

Arda Xi

I actually checked my own Skype then, at which point I discovered I never installed Skype.

Ronan Forman

more of the sound of a splash in thick liquid

@ArdaXi and I've never felt the way that i feel right now

Arda Xi

@RonanForman Except maybe when I think of how I felt that day when I felt the way that I do right now.
