The Bridge

Like I know PopCap has a bunch of games there, and Telltale's stuff is good, as are teh Puzzle Quest games, Costume Quest, Stacking (bit more of a time sink, but awesome),etc. I would honestly recommend that.

SaintWacko

@fbueckert That may very well be one of the most beautiful sights ever

fbueckert

Just gotta get comfy couches, snuggly blankets, warm drinks, and you can die happy.

maybe check out some of the games in chrome?

user15026

@fbueckert OMG YES

SaintWacko

When I was in college I spent a lot of time exploring the library

user15026

The snuggly blankets are a must.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Snuggies?

EmmyS

@AshleyNunn - I looked at the xbox live link, but most of them look like FPS games. There are a surprising number of those available for Linux. I'm looking for hidden-object/adventure games.

Fluttershy

2:04 AM

@EmmyS Sorry for the abruptness of my comment on your question. I was posting from my phone, and it was cold outside. x_x

user15026

@SaintWacko I work in the one uni library. TEN FLOORS OF STUFF. I die. Every trime.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Oh, I'm jealous

We only had five floors

but the top floor was the rare books collection

user15026

@EmmyS They have a lot of stuff there, I can name more specific titles if that helps. :)

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Define cold

user15026

@SaintWacko I love the rare books collection. I die every time I get to go in there.

Fluttershy

2:05 AM

@fbueckert Cold enough.

user15026

]Same with the microfilm stuff for some reason.

EmmyS

@AshleyNunn Aren't those games for PC/Mac, though? I've yet to see a game like that available for Linux.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy If it ain't below zero, it ain't cold.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn There's just so much cool stuff. I love old books

user15026

@EmmyS That's all stuff available on the XBox Live Arcade

SaintWacko

2:06 AM

@AshleyNunn I know! I don't know what it is about microfiche, but they're awesome!

Fluttershy

@fbueckert I am not Canadian. And I'm coming off of two months of triple-digit heat. <_<

EmmyS

@GnomeSlice A bit more than I was planning on spending, plus I'm an open-source girl - if I get a tablet, it's Android all the way.

Brian Colvin

I miss canada :( i enjoy cold alot more than hot

SaintWacko

The oldest books I have are from the 1960s

user15026

@SaintWacko It makes me so happy. Except for the time I had to look at issues of Playboy for the articles in a very public microform area. That was a little awkward.

fbueckert

2:07 AM

@SaintWacko There better be Heinlein in there somewhere.

GnomeSlice

@EmmyS Nintendo 3DS might be something to look at.

Fluttershy

@EmmyS There are a lot of titles for PC/Mac that are also available on Xbox Live Arcade. Most of the PopCap library is on there. And if you're looking for shorter, puzzley games, they have stuff like LIMBO and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Haha, that would be!

user15026

@SaintWacko I have a few from the 1940's - a few collections of children's stories.

GnomeSlice

Nintendo is your best bet for casual games on an established console or handheld.

user15026

2:08 AM

@GnomeSlice Handheld yes, but I would disagree for console.

SaintWacko

@fbueckert I have every single book by Heinlein in my digital library, and I think I have a couple hardcopies

I do have a few old Asimov books which were my mother's

user15026

Then again, I just hate much of the WiiWare stuff

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn You can get a lot of stuff like that on disc, for the Wii.

user15026

@GnomeSlice Its a bit pricey, though

user15026

For what it is.

Wipqozn

2:08 AM

@fbueckert If it was below zero in Fahrenheit (which is what @Fluttershy uses. Since he's a heathen), I think cold wouldn't be strong enough to describe it.

fbueckert

@SaintWacko I grew up on him. My high school library had a lot of his books. Which is strange, given his views on sexuality.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn All my old stuff is war books. Bluejacket's manual, a few on submarines, and one really amazing book called The Luftwaffe War Diaries

Wipqozn

Oh, it would only be -17 C. Never mind.

Brian Colvin

You could also get an older system, games for an snes are like 5 for 20

Wipqozn

I agree with @fbueckert. Man up @Fluttershy.

fbueckert

2:09 AM

@Wipqozn Exactly.

user15026

@fbueckert Oh? never read him

Brian Colvin

Id take a nes/snes/n64 over alot of these newer consoles anyday

Wipqozn

-17 C is when us Canadians start to wear sweaters. Very light sweaters.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn READ HEINLEIN!

SaintWacko

@fbueckert Yeah, his stories are always very free about sexuality. Group marriages, line marriages, incest

fbueckert

2:09 AM

He's like the godfather of Scifi.

user15026

@Wipqozn shrugs Cold is relative. I suspect @fbueckert would laugh at me being cold at -10.

user15026

@SaintWacko Fascinating.

EmmyS

Thanks, all. I'll take a look at the xbox live and Nintendo 3DS.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn You've never read Heinlein?!? Drop everything you are doing and read everything by him

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn I think it's already been -10 here.

user15026

2:10 AM

@fbueckert Ah, see, I am new to scifi.

Brian Colvin

@EmmyS thanks for visiting!

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn I've come to notice that women tend to get colder a lot sooner than men.

user15026

@EmmyS Good choices. :D

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Okay, read Heinlein, Asimov, and Niven, for starters

user15026

@Wipqozn Perhaps. I have never paid much attention :P

fbueckert

2:10 AM

@AshleyNunn Then again, I'm a walking furnace.

user15026

@SaintWacko Titles of what I should start with for each?

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Larry Niven: Ringworld

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn I really like the cold, so I always notice when people are complaining about the cold. I tend to notice a lot more women complain than men.

user15026

@fbueckert I am when I am in bed (oh god that sounds worse than I want it to), but not otherwise.

SaintWacko

Isaac Asimov: Foundation

fbueckert

2:11 AM

@SaintWacko THERE's a classic

user15026

@Wipqozn I like when it is cool, but not OMGCOLD

SaintWacko

Robert Heinlein: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

@fbueckert The Foundation series is the old Asimov hardcopies I own

fbueckert

@Wipqozn That's because men know that complaining about something doesn't get it fixed. So they just man up and deal with it.

Brian Colvin

JK Rowling: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn sleazy look

Brian Colvin

2:12 AM

oh scifi you say nvm

SaintWacko

@BrianColvin Meh. Not in the same class as the ones I listed

Wipqozn

@fbueckert I think us Canadian men are just more used to the cold due to all that time we spend wrestling grizzly bears whilst naked in the middle of winter.

user15026

@SaintWacko See I knew I would get myself into trouble ;)

SaintWacko

@fbueckert Or fix it themselves

@AshleyNunn :P

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert buh, all of my in-flight ships are gone. =[

Brian Colvin

2:13 AM

@Wipqozn so thats why they're going extinct?

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Did you update KSP?

Wipqozn

@BrianColvin Pretty much.

user15026

@Wipqozn Ah, see, for decorum, I usually do my grizzly bear wrestling in a bit more than that.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Yes. Although the updater failed, I just downloaded the entire game again

I moved my files over though, I have the ships SAVED.

Just none of them are in orbit

fbueckert

@BrianColvin You're comparing Harry Potter to Heinlein!? For shame, sir, for shame!

Wipqozn

2:14 AM

@AshleyNunn Bah! Women. How do they work?

@BrianColvin Read it. Not bad, but not that OMG awesome.

user15026

@BrianColvin Not a fan. tbh

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Yeah, I tried moving that... it didn't do anything

user15026

@Fluttershy grins Very easily. ;)

fbueckert

So, yes, I DO know the difference.

Brian Colvin

You could read star wars rogue squadron series?

or is that too nerdy

SaintWacko

2:15 AM

@AshleyNunn Yeah, her books are good, but I don't rave about them the way I rave about the Discworld series

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Eh. It's not a great loss. I wipe mine out on a regular basis.

user15026

@SaintWacko OMG DISCWORLD YAY

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert BUT WHY

Also, my favourite rocket doesn't work any more.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn You read them too? Best series ever!

Fluttershy

Anyone ever read any Ursula K. LeGuin?

fbueckert

2:16 AM

And Sanderson! If you love fantasy, read Brandon Sanderson.

GnomeSlice

It used to work just fine... now one of the separations always crashes into the rest of it.

SaintWacko

I want a Luggage so badly

GnomeSlice

Brian Colvin

@GnomeSlice IRL rocket?

fbueckert

@Fluttershy I tried. Her fantasy is really dry.

GnomeSlice

No.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert I was a big fan of A Wizard of Earthsea... I own the other two books. Just never read them. >_>

GnomeSlice

2:17 AM

@fbueckert I did a double take after misreading that as 'dirty'.

user15026

@fbueckert What sort of fantasy does he write?

user15026

@Fluttershy I have, some. I liked it well enough.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn The awesome stuff.

@Fluttershy I have, some. I liked it well enough.

fbueckert

Pick up Mistborn, and you can thank me after you finish.

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn You replied to that twice... =P

Or three times. >_>

GnomeSlice

It used to work so well, too.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert No it doesn't.

Brian Colvin

2:20 AM

question, did anyone get the code for the LoL tournament?

GnomeSlice

Wait, that's not the right rocket.

That one still works.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice And you wonder why you have trouble getting things into space.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert This one still works, actually

Fluttershy

@BrianColvin Code? >_> For what?

GnomeSlice

I can get it into orbit with the last two large tanks and the last engine still ready to go

user15026

2:20 AM

@Wipqozn AUGH AUGH STOP

Wipqozn

@fbueckert TIL Gnomeslice should never design rockets.

@AshleyNunn Okay.

Wipqozn

Okay, I need to go bed.

go to bed tortoss

fuck you @Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Wow

2:22 AM

@BrianColvin Oh neat! I did not... But I want that Riven skin...

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert BEFORE YOU SAY IT'S TOO BIG, IT USED TO WORK REALLY WELL

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice I timed that pretty well.

user15026

@Wipqozn Sleep is good for you :D

Brian Colvin

@Fluttershy have any friends that watched it?

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice That's what she said!

Fluttershy

2:23 AM

@BrianColvin I have no friends. ._.

GnomeSlice

Now when I separate the bottom ring of huge rockets, they crash into the rest of the ship and blow it to pieces.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice And now it doesn't!

Fluttershy

But seriously, no. Not that I know of.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Since the update. =[

fbueckert

Be glad the body doesn't have software updates like that! >_>

Wipqozn

2:23 AM

@Fluttershy Oh... I see how it is...

Brian Colvin

@Fluttershy I have no league friends :( and my rl friends got me drunk yesterday so i couldnt watch the tournament

It takes talent to disintegrate a rocket like that.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert It's still going!

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn muppet dance?

GnomeSlice

Although... it's not really going UP...

user15026

Also, methinks we are getting a nice rainstorm. Tempted to dance in it, but it is dark.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn I wonder if it's the same one that hit here last night

Wipqozn

Well, as much as I love to watch @GnomeSlice fail at making space shuttles, I really should go to bed.

GnomeSlice

2:28 AM

@fbueckert It didn't use to do that.

SaintWacko

IT was headed northeast

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn Quitter.

Wipqozn

GnomeSlice

I even tried putting those new separation rockets on the pieces.

No help.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice It's an alpha. They're working on it. Suck it up and redesign.

GnomeSlice

2:28 AM

@fbueckert I SPENT DAYS ON THAT SHIT, I WAS WORKING IT UP TO GET SOMEWHERE REALLY FAR AWAY

I almost made it to the Mun, but I fucked it up.

Came in perpendicular to where I wanted to be, somehow.

user15026

Brian Colvin

@GnomeSlice when's it docking with the ISS?

user15026

@SaintWacko Perhaps. Where are you in relation to me?

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Ahaha!

@AshleyNunn Oooooklahoma

GnomeSlice

@BrianColvin I only had one ship up in orbit before that was big enough to call a space station, and even it wasn't terribly large.

user15026

2:30 AM

@SaintWacko So downish someplace.

GnomeSlice

Also, I think by 'docking' you mean 'colliding with'.

fbueckert

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Yeah. Where are you, again?

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn Southwest of me.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice That's like a third the size of yours.

GnomeSlice

2:30 AM

@fbueckert That looks like it will snap in two places.

fbueckert

And it gets to Mun and back

user15026

@Fluttershy oddly, that helps.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert wtf

I hate solid boosters.

Brian Colvin

alright league time cyaz!

GnomeSlice

You can't control them.

user15026

2:31 AM

@SaintWacko Southern Ontario.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Which is why they're awesome for launch stages.

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn I figured it would. =P

GnomeSlice

I wish the big engines didn't have thrust vectoring.

They just shake your ship to pieces.

When you use a SAS module

user15026

@Fluttershy grins you know me well.

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Thrust vectoring owns the skies!

GnomeSlice

2:32 AM

@SaintWacko It makes your ship fall apart on engines this powerful.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Yeah, that's about on track for the storm

user15026

@SaintWacko It came in my window. My happyface lunch pail has water in it now.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert how the FUCK do you use those new separation rockets?

Because I'm clearly doing it wrong.

user15026

Just a little water, but still. OMG RAIN.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Hehe. Lots of wind and rain? Sounds like the storm from last night. I dove out the door of a restaurant into a waiting car, under an overhang, and was still soaked -.-

user15026

2:35 AM

@SaintWacko Luckily I was safely ensconced inside before it started./

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Indeed. Although you did say you wanted to dance in the rain...

user15026

@SaintWacko Yeah, there is dancing in the rain, and then being like a drowned rat.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice My first two stages last for over five minutes, at max burn. Easily enough time to establish an orbit.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert What the fuck

YOU'RE doing it wrong!

fbueckert

And new separation rockets? goes looking

GnomeSlice

2:36 AM

They made a big puff of smoke when I fired them off and blew my rocket apart.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice I just GAVE you a design that uses stock parts, and you can put into orbit.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert There's stock designs too.

I don't want your design, heh.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn That's about how I felt by the time I got home

GnomeSlice

I'm going to find one that uses the massive engines godammit

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice People don't use them because they bug the hell out.

GnomeSlice

2:38 AM

@fbueckert I LOVE THEM

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Then quit bitching about how your rockets shakes themselves apart, damnit!

GnomeSlice

Actually, I think I'm on to something with this one.

Needs another stage...

Maybe.

Still got lots of fuel left.

fbueckert

There. Two full stages complete. Total burn time: 5:54. Altitude: 276 km above ground. Velocity: 1.6 km/s.

That's going straight up.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert The hell man

hey you said they did 5 minutes each

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice No, you read it like that.

GnomeSlice

2:40 AM

Oh.

I did.

shit not quite high enough

user15026

@SaintWacko I can imagine.

GnomeSlice

I think it would have made it to orbit, but not to the moon

I suck at this game.

user15026

I would have been like OMG TEA AND BLANKETS STAT after that

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Your parachute is a little lopsided.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice I put parachutes on every damn piece.

GnomeSlice

2:43 AM

@fbueckert I put them on every falling piece. But I would have put that one on the side or something.

It looks dumb.

Like your rocket has a hat.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice It's supposed to

GnomeSlice

Oh, okay.

fbueckert

It's got that jaunty angle to it.

Hell, the last stage has a freaking Kerbal catcher on it.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert In case one 'falls' out?

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice No, to rescue the ones I stranded on Mun.

GnomeSlice

2:46 AM

@fbueckert ...Use a ladder..

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Single kerbal cockpit.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert So extend the ladder before you jump out.

Oh.

Wait... so they ride on the OUTSIDE of your rocket?

How do you even land near them.

What the hell is wrong with you.

fbueckert

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Oh, he just stands on it?

fbueckert

GnomeSlice

2:48 AM

@fbueckert LOL

@fbueckert I notice your kerbal is gone.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice It doesn't actually work, sadly.

The kerbal just clips right through the ladder.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert I can't imagine why.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice That screenshot is from in the assembly bay.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert What if you have him hang on the ladder?

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Can't end flight when he's on a ladder

GnomeSlice

2:49 AM

@fbueckert Really? That's weird.

Build a catapult and land it on the Mun.

Trent Hawkins

GnomeSlice

@TrentHawkins Yeah, I've seen that.

I got to try a real plane today, since there's stock planes in the new update.

fbueckert

@Trent makes crazy shit.

GnomeSlice

It actually WORKED

fbueckert

Those wings actually flap.

GnomeSlice

2:50 AM

And everything

Trent Hawkins

It flaps when it takes off! :D

GnomeSlice

I wanted to build a drill but you beat me to it, and now I'll just be copying you.

=[

Trent Hawkins

Mini-game! find the cockpit!

GnomeSlice

@TrentHawkins It's in the middle

I can see the window

fbueckert

@TrentHawkins Note: This thing flips over when you leave the runway.

GnomeSlice

2:52 AM

That's the closest thing I built to a working plane.

@fbueckert Does it keep flying?

Cockpit camera! :D

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice It flips the fuck over! I dare you to fly something that goes right back the way it came the instant it no longer touches the ground!

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert I thought you meant it flies upside down.

Trent Hawkins

What flips over? one of my planes? then you suck at taking off with it.

GnomeSlice

Wow this plane crashes on the runway.

Okay, I'm gonna make a new plane, right now.

fbueckert

@TrentHawkins You suck at building shit that's stable.
