The Bridge

it's not obvious that the content is inappropriate and intended to troll? do we need to start a meta thread "are naked breasts appropriate for stack exchange chat?"

Mana

@agent86 okay, okay, fair enough.

badp

and no, @GnomeSlice, I'm 22 and Italian and I've been exposed to massive amounts of boobs on television, but it's not me who flagged stuff up, it was the community, so shut up.

I've had my own share of bullshit flags, and most of todays weren't

Mana

anyways

agent86

2:09 AM

yeah, anyways.

chocolate. batman. not at the same time.

badp

A special message from @GnomeSlice

GnomeSlice: What are you, twelve?
GnomeSlice: ZOMG BOOBS BAN HIM
GnomeSlice: *FLIPS OUT*
GnomeSlice: Fuck.
GnomeSlice: Honestly...
GnomeSlice: I can't talk to the community via steam
GnomeSlice: That was intended for everyone

agent86

well, maybe at the same time, if she's willing to feed it to me

user15026

@agent86 .....I thought Batman was a man...... XD

John

@Tristan :(

agent86

@AshleyNunn ;)

Tristan

2:10 AM

@John I can't do it, man. This internet is garbage.

Wipqozn

@badp yeah, he wanted me to share a message too. I'm a huge dick though so I didn't.

John

@Tristan That totally stinks.

badp

@Wipqozn Not big surprise.

Tristan

@John Yeah it does. Especially when I'm being charged an additional fee for the internets.

John

@Tristan :(

You should complain again.

Tristan

2:12 AM

Doing it now! =D

John

@Tristan :D

user15026

....Where the heck did they hide the castle in this game?

Tristan

@AshleyNunn What game?

user15026

Link's Awakenning. :)

Wipqozn

one of the best Zelda games

John

2:13 AM

So why did his suspension go from one hour to 2 hours?

Wipqozn

I would rank it... third, probably, in my list of favourite zelda games.

user15026

@Wipqozn What's your personal first?

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn Link to the Past.

it's my favourite game of all time

OrigamiRobot

user15026

@Wipqozn Me too! Most people say OoT, but I love LttP. :D It makes me so happy. I want them to release it on the 3DS then I would be happy forever.

Wipqozn

2:15 AM

@AshleyNunn I think most people say OOT because it was their first Zelda game.

badp

LttP <3

user15026

@Wipqozn Yeah, I suspect that might be a big part of it.

user4704

I hated OoT.

badp

(also my first Zelda game)

I'm so predictable!

user15026

Mine was the original. XD It is not my fave, though.

OrigamiRobot

2:16 AM

LttP was my first and is practically tied with OoT. But if I have to chose one, its OoT.

Wipqozn

I think OOT was my first... I'm actually not sure.

actually, no

It was one of the 2D ones... but I have no idea which one

man, that was so long ago

I feel so old right now.

Raven Dreamer

holy crap. 322 messages.

user20683

I like Link's Awakening on the premise that it broke a lot of the rules

OrigamiRobot

after that, there are so many ties for 3rd

Raven Dreamer

@AshleyNunn They did have the GBA version.

John

2:18 AM

@RavenDreamer Read ALL the messages!

Tristan

@John Well, I figured out what the issue was. o.O

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot yeah, Majora's Mask and Links Awakening are pretty close for my third favourite.

user15026

@RavenDreamer Link to the Past? I know. :) I had it. :D

John

@Tristan ?

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn and TP and the Oracle games

Raven Dreamer

2:18 AM

Still haven't played Majora's mask.

Mana

@JoshPetrie Why?

user15026

@WorldEngineer I love it because it is so crazy, with Goombas and Piranha Plants and crap

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer You should do that. Like, right now.

user15026

@RavenDreamer I played most of it.

Tristan

@John Steam. <.< This internet provider views it in the same light as they view uTorrent, so it destroys the connection speed.

Raven Dreamer

2:19 AM

@Wipqozn No equipment for it.

user15026

@Wipqozn See, the whole OMG limited time kinda broke me.

John

@Tristan ಠ_ಠ

That's ridiculous. Why do they do that?!

OrigamiRobot

I seriously asked for a GC for Christmas one year just because it came with this

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn I always found you had more than enough time to do everything.

Tristan

@John No idea...

OrigamiRobot

2:20 AM

and it was the only GC game I ever owned

Tristan

I can't play Spiral Knights without connecting to Steam, can I?

John

@Tristan Ask them! Make them fix it!

@Tristan Likely not...

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot what about wind waker?

user4704

@Mana I don't know. I think OoT was the first time I started to notice Nintendo's now blatantly-obvious trend for letting their IP stagnate, churning it very little, and forcing their educational experience.

Tristan

@John They said it made too many background connections.

user15026

2:20 AM

@OrigamiRobot Sadly, the day I got my GC was the week after that promo stopped. But my cousin gave me his copy. :D

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn never played it

Tristan

Not as many as uTorrent, but still enough to bog down the entire connection.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot you should do that, like, right now

user15026

@Wipqozn I never did. The moon fell a lot when I played.

John

@Tristan I see their point, but that's maddening.

user15026

2:21 AM

@Wipqozn I really liked Wind Waker. :D

user4704

To be fair, I did not play it when it was new, I played it after some of the newer ones, so it was colored by that. Kind of how people who has never seen Star Wars or other impressive films, but have seen everything that built on them, don't see what's so great.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn but I've got my entire weekend planned out /sarcasm

Tristan

@AshleyNunn Wind Waker is one of the best!

user4704

I'm also pretty biased against Nintendo as a general rule, these days. So my opinion should carry quite the pile of salt with it.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Wind Waker is your new plan.

user15026

2:22 AM

@Tristan I liked just kinda boating around. :)

Wipqozn

Seriously. Leave chat, buy Wind Waker, and play it.

user15026

@JoshPetrie Oh?

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn Second favourite Zelda game :)

Tristan

@Wipqozn If you feel that way about Origami, maybe you'll enjoy this.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn buy it where?

Tristan

2:22 AM

@John How many Zelda games have you played?

John

@Tristan ...

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I don't care. Steal it from some kids if you have it. Just play it.

John

You're doing that on purpose.

user15026

@Wipqozn It makes me happy, because the game is adorable. I especially like hte kid with the snot bubble (or whatever it is) in the first village

Ian Pugsley

@Wipqozn Wind Waker sucks

Tristan

2:23 AM

@John Indeed I am. Now tell @Wipqozn how many Zelda games you've played. =P

user15026

@IanPugsley Oh? Why do you say that?

Tristan

@IanPugsley ...

Ian Pugsley

at least compared to OOT and Majora's Mask

John

@Tristan He knows....

OrigamiRobot

@IanPugsley puts on army helmet INCOMING

user4704

2:23 AM

@AshleyNunn Yes. They aren't making even a cursory attempt to stay relevant in an industry they practically saved the life of, they set poor examples, and they (at least their American division) mistreat their employees and mismanage their studios.

Wipqozn

@Tristan I'm well aware that @John is a terrible person who doesn't deserve anything nice.

user15026

@John Is it 0?

Ian Pugsley

I actually liked the cel shading, I just didn't really like the game

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn He has bad taste, obviously :P

Tristan

@Wipqozn And now everyone knows.

user15026

2:24 AM

@JoshPetrie Fair enough. I like their games, though. XD

John

@AshleyNunn ....yes.

@Wipqozn @Tristan See what you made him say?

user15026

@John It's okay, I still like you ;)

user4704

I did enjoy Wind Waker. Especially the cel shading and the first few hours of sailing.

Mana

@JoshPetrie I like you! Game Devs always bring the coolest opinions into discussions.

Wipqozn

@John bannable offense IMO

John

2:24 AM

@AshleyNunn Thank you. I'm glad someone does. sniff

user4704

@Mana s/coolest/most bitter and vitriolic/ you mean? ;D

Mana

@JoshPetrie heh :)

OrigamiRobot

@John I liked you better before you killed me with your stupid Rainbow Rod

user15026

@Mana Yeah. My dad and I were talking about the whole relevance thing, especially around teh fact that it took like what, 5 years for a Wii Zelda?

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot I lol'd.

John

2:25 AM

@OrigamiRobot Twice! :D

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn good things take time.

John

What can I say, I like rainbows.

badp

@JoshPetrie I love its style. Realistic Zelda is... not as compelling I imagine.

John

@OrigamiRobot Well you were shooting crystal bullets at my head, so...

user15026

@Wipqozn That just seems like a reaaaaaally long time.

Raven Dreamer

2:26 AM

Windwaker is my favorite of the three most recent console zeldas.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn Have you ever heard of Valve of Blizzard :P

Tristan

@RavenDreamer You... I like you. =P

user15026

@Wipqozn Yeah but I don't play their games, so it doesn't matter XD

badp

I'll say though that the idea of spending most of the time sailing doesn't really excite me

The sailing sections are why there's no TAS of the game e.g.

Raven Dreamer

@badp You don't, really.

user15026

2:27 AM

@badp I did want a little less sailing.

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer There have been three since wind waker, so I believe you mean four.

Tristan

@badp It's not as bad once you get the Whirlwind warp.

Raven Dreamer

It's "sandwich making break time"

badp

@RavenDreamer Admittedly I only go by what I've read about the game.

user4704

@badp Yeah; nonphotorealistc rendering is harder to do (well) also, so I appreciate it from that standpoint also. It's a risk.

Raven Dreamer

2:27 AM

@badp /facepalm

OrigamiRobot

Completely off-subject: Has anyone played any of the Lost in Blue series?

Raven Dreamer

Then your opinion is biased.

badp

You can't play all games!

user20683

I really enjoyed Wind Waker

Raven Dreamer

@OrigamiRobot I did. I got almost to the end, then gave up.

badp

2:28 AM

No, my opinion is indirect.

Raven Dreamer

@OrigamiRobot Wait, maybe.

Wipqozn

I loved the sailing. It was one of my favourite parts of the game.

Raven Dreamer

@OrigamiRobot Shipwrecked game?

user15026

@Wipqozn I kept getting lost :(

Wipqozn

Also, as was stated, you don't sail nearly as much as people thought.

Mana

2:28 AM

@Wipqozn until the triforce pieces

OrigamiRobot

@RavenDreamer I would ask which one, but this has been my experience with all of them

Tristan

Here's a question: Has anyone played Suikoden?

user20683

I need to play Twightlight Princess and Phantom Hourglass

badp

It's less valid, certainly, but only as much biased as the opinions I've sampled and based it on.

OrigamiRobot

@RavenDreamer yes

Raven Dreamer

2:29 AM

@Wipqozn 3 console games?

OrigamiRobot

@WorldEngineer dont bother with PH

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer Yes

Mana

screw everything about the triforce pieces. God it killed the pacing of the game so much.

Raven Dreamer

@Wipqozn Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword...?

Wipqozn

You forgot Four Swords Adventure

user15026

2:29 AM

@OrigamiRobot I did not like PH. It was SO repetitive

Tristan

@Wipqozn That doesn't count.

Raven Dreamer

@Wipqozn Ah, yes. I want to play that. Never have.

Wipqozn

@Tristan It's a console Zelda game

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn yes yes and more yes

badp

All I know for a fact is that the sailing sections are why there's no TAS of the game.

Raven Dreamer

2:29 AM

@Tristan Yeah it does. It's on the official zelda timeline and everything!

Tristan

Bah!

user15026

@Wipqozn Me and my dad would play that together. I thought it was cool that I could hook my GBA up to the Gamecube

badp

As stated by the people who would've otherwise made that TAS.

Raven Dreamer

@badp That's a stupid excuse, though.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot I seriously got so frustrated that I stopped playing for two months.

Raven Dreamer

2:30 AM

@badp It's like "I don't want to make a video, because part of the video would be boring".

badp

Not really. TASes also need to be entertaining, not just fast.

"Part of the video is boring" is one of the reasons to reject a run on tasvideos.org

Mana

@badp Sailing was fun to do, not fun to watch

So I agree with that logic.

Raven Dreamer

The game was pretty good about not making you go half-way across the map in one sailing section.

badp

Pushes authors to do the most out of their perfect reflexes.

user15026

....I still can't find the freaking castle :(

Raven Dreamer

2:31 AM

It was "go 2-3 screens, fight a dungeon, repeat"

And then you got the whirlwind, and it was even better.

Tristan

Suikoden discuss.

badp

Here's the relevant link..

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan you cant change the topic! We never discussed Lost in Blue. I demand attentions!

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot =(

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn well damn, shame there is no place to ask for help

@badp still waiting

John

2:33 AM

@Tristan It looks like you can play it without Steam. Check this out.

user15026

@Wipqozn Haha I just feel like a loser

badp

Disk's grinding. Sec.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn you misspelled wolframalpha.com

user15026

Herpaderp, I suck so bad I CANT FIND A STORYLINE important THING

Tristan

@John I'll try it out.

OrigamiRobot

2:34 AM

Thats where I ask all my gaming quesitons

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn well, yeah,if you ask it like that you look stupid.

Just don't ask it like that :P

user15026

@Wipqozn Fair advice XD

badp

oh. The rules don't actually mention the run must be entertaining.

Well, the discussion threads certainly do though.

Wipqozn

@badp Good thing entertaining isn't a subjective term. oh wait... :P

user15026

@Wipqozn Asked, and no mention of my herpaderpitude.

Q: Where is the castle?

I was told my a man to go to the castle and search it for the Golden Leaves that he lost there. Problem is, I cannot find the castle. I have been wandering around in circles for a while now, and it is getting a little ridiculous. Where is the castle? What is it near?

zelda-links-awakening

user15026

SAVE ME FROM BEING A COMPLETE HERPADERP

Tristan

@John Not working.

John

@AshleyNunn Done. Misspelling corrected.

@Tristan The FB version just link to the Steam one?

I thought something was supposed to be in-browser.

Tristan

@John If I try linking it to steam, it opens steam.

user15026

John

@AshleyNunn You are welcome.

Libraries & Information Science

Proposed Q&A site for librarians and library professionals.

Currently in commitment.

At least it's still around. The only proposals I've ever cared about got killed (vi ones mostly). :(

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Thank you! :D

John

2:42 AM

@AshleyNunn > 68% - 68/100 committers with 200+ rep on any other site

user15026

@John Yeah, that is hte problem. We have a crapton of interest, just need moar people with rep

John

You need to talk existing SE users into it.

user4704

I have rep, but no interest. I do take bribes though.

John

@Tristan Try this one

I feel so bad when I fail a commitment though.

The last couple I committed to turned out to be way different than I was expecting.

@RavenDreamer That it is.

Q: What plug-in do I need to play Spiral Knights?

Basically, the internet provider for the hotel I'm staying won't let me run Steam, so I can't play Spiral Knights through there. I've been trying to run it through Kongregate, but every time I try to launch the game, I get this error: I have Java fully updated, as well as Shockwave Flash, so I...
