@badp Tell her she's responsible for her mother's death. Watch her either break down in tears or go on a mad rampage. Use the distraction.
 
@InvaderSkoodge Pffft. Lions. Cowboys. JETS-PATS
 
@MartinSojka It's a five floors tall robot with shoulder-mounted rocket launcher. It doesn't give a crap in all possible ways.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't actually pay any attention to the NFL. I just know that the Lions and Cowboys play every year.
 
@badp Ah. I was thinking Sailor Saturn there. :)
 
They recently added a third game.
Also I hope the Pats die in a fire.
 
5:01 PM
Oh you know what. I'll just join Tim Stone, which is only six levels off me
 
@InvaderSkoodge Me too.
 
"only"
 
I am getting Guild Wars 2 on Wednesday
 
@pixel See you back next year then.
 
and then I will lose sleep on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
sleep on Sunday to reset

@fbueckert I like the company of thanksgiving. My family is generally awesome people. I just wish the food was more interesting.
 
Guild Wars 2 is a time machine.
 
time dilation device
 
@AshleyNunn I don't cook much, so getting thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings is heaven to me.
 
@AshleyNunn I think the trick is to not eat Thanksgiving food for the rest of the year. It will appear "special" then.
Works for any other occasion, really.
 
user15026
5:13 PM
@fbueckert I think it would help more if my family could cook. I love them, but they aren't very good cooks. And I cook for myself a lot, so I can generally make the stuff I like as I want it.
 
@AshleyNunn Ahh, there's the difference.
They are my cooks, for the most part. :P
And I'm always happy to get a nice, home-cooked meal.
 
user15026
@fbueckert I wish I had people to cook for. I love making food.
 
user15026
@MartinSojka I couldn't go that long without mashed potatoes.
 
@AshleyNunn I'm thinking I might start learning how to make pancakes from scratch. Blueberry pancakes, even.
 
user15026
@fbueckert pancakes are awesome from scratch. And I do love blueberry ones.
 
5:17 PM
@AshleyNunn With strawberries and whip cream on top.
 
user15026
@fbueckert I like the way you think.
 
Work awesome as breakfast food or anytime desserts.
 
lol, I'm getting myself destroyed and I'm liking it. Sorta. Tim, otoh......
 
user15026
@fbueckert most definitely. Pancakes are so awesome. I like mine with jam.
 
Waffles > Pancakes.
 
5:19 PM
@AshleyNunn Once when someone made pancakes for me, they made a sort of strawberry glaze to put on top. It was awesome.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Waffles require specialized equipment to make.
Pancakes do not.
 
@fbueckert Nonetheless, they are superior.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Only when equipment is present.
 
I really need to get my waffle iron out of my mom's house.
 
@fbueckert I pity the man without a waffle iron in his home.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I make do with what I have.
 
5:25 PM
@AshleyNunn (Mashed) Potatoes aren't food; they are a side-dish. Same as rice, wheat and buckwheat semolina, groat, maize, cassava, soy and so on.
 
And that's a nice, big pan I can make pancakes in.
 
@fbueckert Well then I pity you.
 
Pity me when I'm eating sweet, sweet pancakes.
 
@fbueckert I will. Because I have delicious, delicious waffles.
Of course, a good bagel is better than either.
 
user15026
@fbueckert I can make a pretty awesome berry syrup for pancakes. :)
 
user15026
5:29 PM
@MartinSojka that doesn't mean I don't love them.
 
user15026
I love potatoes. Potatoes are awesome.
 
^^ Thanksgiving food is awesome with good recipes.
You Didn’t Tell Me Your New Girlfriend was a Fucking Vegan Quick ‘N’ Easy Green Bean Casserole

Good news is, I've now played more BL2 with friends than TL2 with friends. Bad news is, I've made every second of it miserable for Tim :P
Also I hoped to get at least a level but didn't
ah well. At least I'm awful close now
 
@badp I blame me, actually. I should have been killing those guys easier :P
Did you want help with Saturn?
 
@TimStone Mayyyybeee...
 
Just a second while BL2 fails again in finding new DLC and old DLC alike
 
> A: Not at all. The turkey is merely the vehicle for the basting. In a recent poll, nine out of ten people would rather sit down at the table and suck on the end of a baster full of buttery juices than gnaw at some dry old wing. Bad call.
 
user15026
@lesspop_morefizz if my thanksgiving had food like those non ironic recipes I would like it a lot better.
 
Everyone should get dead island
 
5:45 PM
> The Vegan Mom said she was thankful for her “enlightened consciousness” and that it was important to “keep turkeys, like Todd and Mable, in our hearts on this dark holiday.”
 
It's probably garbage by now for you
 
I will be keeping turkeys safely in my digestive system on this dark holiday
 
This is the way Scribblenauts was meant to be played.
 
I'll assume that there's either no way for you to refuse or you're just fighting the non-responsive UI
 
5:48 PM
> Scan the turkey yard for a vixen girl turkey. She will be the one with the extra long eyelashes, pink wattle and flirty nature. She, yes, SHE is the one that made this poor turkey so forlorn!
 
@OrigamiRobot I'd heard mixed things about it. But then again, I like a lot of games lots of other people don't...
 
> When you hear his gentle, contented snore, sneak back in, cut off his head with your hatchet, pluck him clean, roast for 6 or so hours and serve hot to your guests.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz How does this guy find the time to write these things.
 
Guys, guys! Train Simulator 2013 is on sale! Everyone should get it!
 
@gnome it's not the best, but easily worth $7
 
5:53 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz If I find out my girlfriend is a vegan, she is no longer my girlfriend from that point forward.
 
@GnomeSlice McSweeneys is not A Guy, but rather a publication with many writers in it's employ.
 
@OrigamiRobot It's down to around $15 at EB.
 
@fbueckert Bigot.
 
@gnome it's $7 on steam and also Gamestop is terrible
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Realist.
The family eats meat.
I refuse to bring someone home that they have to cater to specifically.
 
user15026
5:55 PM
@fbueckert that strikes me as fair.
 
@OrigamiRobot EB is a pretty good place to get games, they just don't do very good deals most of the time.
 
> Ampersand. Great for loud parties on the beach. Use often, especially if you are under 47 and intend to kick that crippling cocaine habit. Does not grant wishes. Looks best in lipstick and serif fonts.
 
No, Gamestop is terrible. Period
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Did you just think I'd like this or did it have something to do with my message?
@OrigamiRobot Eh, I like EB Games.
 
@fbueckert So you are saying you would also not date an observant jew. Bigot.
 
user15026
5:56 PM
@origamirobot eh, I don't mind it, lacking other options.
 
@GnomeSlice It was a random recent article I clicked on.
 
@Ashley internet
 
I probably wouldn't date an observant jew in the first place.
 
user15026
@origamirobot I am impatient.
 
> Question mark. Do not, under any circumstances, question Mark. Mark doesn’t know anything.
 
5:57 PM
The cultural differences are far too great for it to ever work out.
 
/cc @MarkTrapp
 
user15026
I want to go have my games and play them and not wait for the mail.
 
@gnome that's because you are terrible

As a sidenote, quite a few of Squeenix's games go on sale for Black Friday today.
Of note: Kingdom Hearts 3D is half off, at $20.
 
user15026
@fbueckert I have a giant gaming back load. Don't tempt me. :p
 
Mmm, turkey
 
@AshleyNunn I plan on getting it. Even if I won't play it right away, $20 for a good, brand new 3DS game is super cheap.
 
Thanks for the hand Tim
 
user15026
@fbueckert I am sad that my gaming budget is pretty empty.
 
user15026
Although like I stated earlier I want to finish the first two games before I lock myself into more.
 
6:00 PM
@badp Sure thing!
 
FAE
@fbueckert I am tempted for that even though I don't even own a 3DS.
 
Now time to sell the loot I stole from your server for phat cash
 
user15026
@FAE you should get one!
 
@OrigamiRobot ...Why? I've never had any real problems with EB other than the usual stuff that can happen with any retail store...
 
@FAE I doubt it'll ever be that cheap again for quite some time.
 
FAE
6:01 PM
@AshleyNunn I can't afford one right now! Also I don't know which region to get it in.
 
I still have two Steam codes left.
 
@FAE Oh, yeah. Stupid region locking.
Nintendo was awesome when it decided the DS was region free.
But I guess publishers put enough pressure on them to go, "Yeah...we want to gouge our customers. Fairly. So stop not allowing us to do so."
 
FAE
@fbueckert I knooooow. :( I'm not sure whether I should get it EU or US if I get one. And then there's the Japanese one that I still dream of...
 
The new DS is region locked?
Also, I don't even know what that means.
 
@GnomeSlice No. They smell funny, I told you.
 
6:03 PM
@GnomeSlice DSi and forward have been region locked.
 
Oh. I still have my second-gen DS.
Well, my second one... my first one and a bunch of games got stolen on an airplane.
 
@FAE I'd say get the one you want, buy where you can, and hoist the flag if they don't work, but I don't think they have that last part functioning for 3DS games yet.
 
New Steam Deals up. Max Panye 3 and Arma 2 14.99
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Arrgh I really want to play Arma 2
DayZ seems like it could be really engrossing.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Wait for the standalone, it's coming out in Dec.
 
6:05 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz MAXIMUM PAN 3
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ArmaII is only $11.99
@LessPop_MoreFizz ArmaII is only $11.99
 
@GnomeSlice ...The hell?
 
@FAE Oh is that happening?
 
It's 14.99
 
FAE
6:06 PM
@GnomeSlice Yes.
 
@fbueckert Not for me...
 
@GnomeSlice Ah, yes. The combined pack is 14.99
 
@GnomeSlice combined ops pack is 14.99 whatever
 
Oh. Do you need that?
Hey, NodeBeat can upload directly to Soundcloud?
Neat!
 
Today's Steam deals are lame
 
FAE
@Sterno Thanks!
 
Thanks
 
Oh, that last link was for game bundles on sale.
@badp can you edit it to say 'a bunch of game bundles'
There's also 20-75% off a TON of amazing games, almost all of which you can probably activate on Steam including things like Magicka, Just Cause 2 + DLC, and Max Payne 3 (currently cheaper than the Steam daily deal).
 
@GnomeSlice Thanks, but I won't be playing KSP until the next update.
 
6:16 PM
Hm, Max Payne 3 doesn't say you can activate it on Steam, which is unfortunate. Never heard of 'Gameshield' DRM either.
@badp Hello?
@fbueckert Have you made it to Minmus yet?
 
@GnomeSlice Nope.
Haven't really tried, though.
 
@fbueckert You should!
 
I bet I could if I tried.
@GnomeSlice I really want to do fun things like docking, and building giant stations.
To get to Minmus is just like getting to Mun. Only longer.
 
HOLY CRAP, there's like EIGHT PAGES OF GAMES in this sale at 30 games a page!
Oh, a bunch of it is DLC for shit like XCOM and Quantum Conundrum.
Still though.
Whoa, 88% off L.A. Noire... Hmmm
 
Weird. I don't think any XCOM DLC is out yet
oh, that's the preorder thing
 
6:20 PM
Way to treat your best customers like crap, Firaxis.
 
'Elite Soldier Pack'
Oh, I see what you mean now.
Holy shit, somebody pin that GG sale link I posted, there is a ton of amazing shit in here for really really cheap. And so far, all of the big name games I've looked at (except Max Payne 3) can be activated on Steam.
@badp thanks by the way
Also, someone edit it to 20-90% off
Fack I wish I had more monies in my paypal.
Ballsack... 5.97
Anybody want to lend me some money? :P
@pixel You were the one playing 'Cities in Motion' earlier, right?
 
@GnomeSlice Dude, you don't even have a job; how would you ever expect to be able to pay us back?

Q: growing back to human size again

Xitcod13I am playing tales from the minus lab and I got the bridge to the tree to open but someone I cannot make it so i grow to the human size again. Do any of you guys have an idea what to do.. here is a full play through but they do not show how to get to human size ...

@GnomeSlice Grats on your very first sale!
How long did it take to get?
 
6:28 PM
But seriously, I can add some more money to my Paypal and pay whoever back, but if I add more now it won't process in time.
@fbueckert ...A long time. The game's release was supposed to be my advertising, but I'm guessing it's never coming out.
Holy crap this GG sale is awesome.
Hm, XCOM is still a bit much though, $34.97.
 
@GnomeSlice no I'm the one playing cities in motion in about 30 minutes
once I have finished getting dressed and eaten
 
@pixel If you're looking for any of the DLC it's all half-off right now here. Just in case you were interested.
Should I get Assassin's Creed Brotherhood for $5?
 
cool ty
afaik the early ones are good
 
Aaaah! Sanctum Collection for $4.80!
@pixel Any idea how big the download would be?
Oh, actually it says here.
 
nope never played them
 
6:32 PM
7,972 MB.
Well, I guess that one's out.
 
so about 5 minutes to download then :P
giggles
 
@pixel ಥ_ಥ
Quantum Conundrum is 50% off, but the Complete Edition is still $10, and the normal game is $7.50. =[
 
@pixel It would take me about an hour or two, but that's about it.
 
Okay, seriously, somebody pin this message, I'm overloading on deals.
Ecco the Dolphin and Altered Beast are in this sale? Neat!
 
oh god
this wifi in this hotel is terrible
I'm so glad I haven't been here all week
 
6:43 PM
Megadrive Genesis Classic Collection Vol.1. Sick, 10 old-school games for $3. ...I think I'd only play Ecco though, and I already have that for SEGA Genesis.
@FAE More Ephixa, although this is just mixed by him.
 
user15026
@Sterno grins Thanks :)
 
Where have I heard of Darkstar One before...
Were we talking about it in here recently?
@fbueckert You maybe?
 
@GnomeSlice I don't think I've talked about it.
It's not bad, but it's nothing special.
 
Someone was talking about it recently, about some hilarious bug or behaviour it had...
Maybe not.
Anybody want to lend me $5 via Paypal?
 
6:54 PM
@Wipqozn lol... is it supposed to be only villains?
 
btw has anyone tried Planetside 2?

Q: Which games are conpatible with the Wii U pro controller?

McKayI'm trying to decide whether I'll want a Wii U pro Controller, but I'm not finding any information on which games are going to be able to use it, and if any games are requiring it. How do I figure this out? I was thinking the back if the box might give that information, but I haven't seen that ic...

 
I mean, Steam says no but... you might've! not on Steam!

7:02 PM
@Wipqozn It changed?
 
Accidentally approved that, but now I can't fix it because I need to wait more people approve.
Needing multiple approvals is bloody annoying.
@AnnaLear What's the reasoning behind requiring an edit to need multiple approvals?
 
@Wipqozn Oh woops, I just approved it.
Oh, you wanted that. Good.
I approved it accidentally too.
 
I am disappointed in both of you for approving that edit.
 
@fbueckert I re-edited it.
I thought he was fixing the 'n' in 'conpatible'.
Not sure how I got that, because I DID look at it before approving it.
 
@fbueckert Like I said, it was a mistake.
 
7:05 PM
@Wipqozn A likely story.
 
Wicked, new remix from Bit Funk.
 
Anyway, what I wanted to do was fix the title.
 
@Wipqozn Hey, can I borrow $5
 
Not the typo, but the fact it was asking a completely different question than the body. Which would also be closed as NARQ.
@GnomeSlice Why?
 
@badp I might have a key I can give you.
@Wipqozn For this
 
7:06 PM
@GnomeSlice What for?
 
@badp PlanetSide2
 
Apparently the game's released on Steam
There should be no key reqd to play
 
@badp Is it free?
 
@GnomeSlice Yes
 
@Wipqozn People like you accidentally approving things. ;)
 
7:07 PM
@badp Ah, well this is the thing anyway: ca.ign.com/prime/promo/planetside2
Whatever the key was for, they're out of them now.
 
@AnnaLear bah! You cats have no respect...
 
@AnnaLear Apparently you need to raise the cap, because I accidentally approved that one too.
 
@Wipqozn So you didn't accidentally approve that? slowly unsheathes banhammer
 
@badp Oh, it was a key for the closed beta.
 
(don't ask me how you'd unsheathe a banhammer. Some stuff just happens)
 
7:09 PM
@badp @GnomeSlice made me do it.
 
@Wipqozn No, you made me do it.
I saw a pending edit, thought it must have been you and approved it right away.
Then I was like 'shit'.
 
This reminds me of the couple of situations when Borderlands 2 asks you to pick who's guilty from a bunch of guys and kill him
and you just throw a grenade at their feet and they all die and mission accomplished
 
Joy. I just found out that, out of the two projects I'm working on, the project manager of one wants to give away the other one, so that I can focus on theirs.
 
@badp I'm guessing if you keep the innocent ones alive you get rewards...
 
So now I get to fight tooth and nail so I can keep my project.
 
7:11 PM
@GnomeSlice It was much funnier that way tbh
 
Oh fuck I just signed into Steam
shit
that means my computer at home stopped downloading
 
Happy Thanksgiving, my American friends.
 
Shit fuck.
@RavenDreamer Have I showed you this yet?
 
@RavenDreamer What about your non-american friends?
Just kind of rude to just single them out...
 
@Wipqozn It's not Thanksgiving for them...

@GnomeSlice GET OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR LOGIC
 
@AshleyNunn This looks cool!
 
WHAT? WHO? WHERE? LOGIC?
 
user15026
They made a sequel to PUSHMO! :D
 
user15026
And it looks AWESOME
 
7:16 PM
@RavenDreamer Quickly, to the Twinkie Turkey!
 
user15026
man, I love my 3ds so much right now
 
user15026
although it does remind me that i haven't even come close to finishing Pushmo
 
@AshleyNunn Reminds me a little bit of QUBE, but more colourful and less 3D.
 
user15026
also, @fbueckert, if you like little puzzle games you should get pushmo,/crashmo
 
@RavenDreamer I made a sale on my soundtrack!
 
user15026
7:17 PM
@GnomeSlice Hey, that is pretty awesome
 
@AshleyNunn $1.50, but whatever. =]
 
@AshleyNunn On the Nintendo eShop?
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Whatever, a sale is a sale
 
user15026
@fbueckert Yeah. :)
 
@AshleyNunn Hrm. I don't want to have to update my 3DS at all.
 
7:18 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AS FUCKING IF.
 
Fuck shit, I shouldn't have logged into Steam...
 
user15026
@fbueckert You'd have to update it?
 
@badp Get 7-zip
 
@badp Ahahaha
 
@AshleyNunn I assume that in order to get onto the eShop, you have to have the latest version of the 3DS update.
That's how it worked for the Wii.
 
7:19 PM
Has anybody ever actually bought WinZip?
 
user15026
@fbueckert I'm not entirely sure, tbh. I don't think so, but don't quote me on that.
 
@badp The government, apparently. It makes me sad.
 
I'm yet to be subjected to a single .zipx file
 
@badp My former employer did.
Seriously surprised me, too.
(Most devs used 7zip anyway.)
 
I wish there was a way I could access my home computer from here, and start Steam again...
 
7:20 PM
I'd take a screenshot but it's a pain and the FBI would probably show up.
 
fffffffffffffffffffffffffff-
 
user15026
Oh, no, @fbueckert according to Nintendo's website, you would have to get the update.
 
eh... I guess enterprise customers are the only customers WinZip have. Although once I'm paying I'd much rather pay for WinRAR, which is actually usable (unlike 7-zip)
 
user15026
Which is unfortunate. The games are pretty fun.

Q: Chat oneboxing support for Soundcloud?

GnomeSliceThis is a bit of a silly request, but since SE has recently been posting their Podcasts on soundcloud, I feel like I now have a legitimate reason to bring this up. Would implementing oneboxing support (a la facebook) for SoundCloud tracks be quite difficult? Basically, similar to the way Wikiped...

@AnnaLear Can you make somebody make that work.
pleeeeeeeeease
 
7:22 PM
well, I upvoted it, at any rate :P
 
It's like a year old, I guess it would be a lot of work for not very many people.
Oh, I should add this to the post: developers.soundcloud.com
and that

Q: How can I change faction?

raymondWhen I created my character I went with "tangent technologies" as my faction. I have now completed the epic quest and got my laser pistol so I want to change my faction. what do I need to do in order to change to another faction on my character?

 
@GnomeSlice If I get bored I suppose I could write code to hook it up, then we'd just have to bribe balpha to incorporate it.
 
@TimStone :D
@TimStone I would buy you a cheap game.
 
Oak
@GnomeSlice can't you just install some server on it and then access it?
 
7:27 PM
@Oak I don't know, can I?
 
Oak
@GnomeSlice sure you can
 
@Ullallulloo Do you still have an IGN prime subscription?
The new free monthly game is available.
 
@GnomeSlice No.
 
Oak
You need two things: (1) to know your home computer's IP address, and (2) to set up some server on it
 
7:28 PM
@GnomeSlice I got an email, but I tried, and it's over.
 
Oak
I recommend a VNC server for (2)
 
@Oak Erm... I know nothing about that.
 
Oak
In particular, a VNC server that also supports web access via Java
You install a server on your home computer, than install a client from where you want to connect
And you can also connect without a client if you set up your home computer to also listen to web requests
Other than that, what you need is to know its IP
@GnomeSlice a good option for this is to install download.cnet.com/No-IP-DUC-Dynamic-DNS-Update-Client/… on your home computer
That way you get a constant, public IP
 
@Oak What would this let me do to my home PC?
 
Oak
Alternatively you can set up an ssh server on your home computer - more secure
 
7:31 PM
@Oak x_x
 
Oak
@GnomeSlice it means you'll get a public address, e.g. "gnomeslice.duc.com" - which will always point to your computer
 
@Oak Yeah, okay, but what can I DO ON my computer using that?
 
Oak
@GnomeSlice access it with a VNC client :) once you access your computer with VNC, you get its GUI
So it's like you're working locally on it
Just with latency
 
Oh, cool.
 
Oak
@GnomeSlice I'm also guessing you'd find explanations online on how to use these tools, better than what I write here
 
7:34 PM
NOW YOU'RE WORKING... WITH LATENCY.
 
Oak
But in general, it's not hard to set up
 
(I should eventually give up on the "Now you're thinking... with science!" references)
 
@Oak Cool, thanks, I'll look into it. =]
 
Oak
@GnomeSlice you welcome! I used to do it with my own home computer... though ended up not using it too much
 
@Oak I probably would almost never use it. I just signed in to Steam here to add my free game key, and I was downloading a couple large things at home... it would have signed me out.
Coulda used it there, heh.
I really think somebody should pin that GG sale, it's amazing.

Fuck.
Some of you guys have played The Witcher 2 right?
@Ullallulloo By the way, did you see the sale GG is having right now, it's HUGE.
Here's some really relaxed music before I go to class.
 
7:56 PM
Oh, good.
I just found out that they won't be taking my favorite project from me.
