@ThomasMcDonald yup, we lost. I got MVP 2 still
 
@NickT This is my dog (and every single dog ever). Luckily he's a lot smaller than that so he can't cause as much damage.
 
@RavenDreamer you around?
@NickT Yeah, sounds about right. Though replace the physical destruction with poop everywhere.
 
user30
@badp thought so.

10:03 PM
their defence was awful.
 
@StrixVaria My cat (now living with the Pugsley's) is the neediest cat ever.
 
@NickT ...Does this actually work?
 
He is practically a dog.
 
My dog actually once ate the plug off a lamp.
@OrigamiRobot I am allergic to cats :(
 
> ...down up up left up right left down left down up right right left up left up down left left right down right and at this point I always lose. I hate that fucking game.
 
10:05 PM
I found out because one day I was in a house with 4 cats and all of a sudden I couldn't see because my eyes were swollen shut.
 
Bwahahahahaha.
 
@StrixVaria Luckily I am not allergic to any animals. It would suck if I was. Animals are pretty cool guys.
 
@OrigamiRobot don't like the bitches?
 
@NickT I would rather own a female dog than a male. Females are more territorial. Better guard dogs.
Also, they don't pee everywhere.
 
@OrigamiRobot My dog doesn't do this. He poops everywhere instead.
 
10:09 PM
@StrixVaria That is unfortunate. What kind? Of dog that is.
 
@OrigamiRobot The unmanliest dog ever. I should say that technically it is my girlfriend's dog. Half Yorkie half Maltese.
 
@OrigamiRobot Thank you for being specific with your question :)
 
@StrixVaria My mom has a Yorkie. They're actually pretty badass (in their own minds that is)
 
If I were to get a dog it would be a German Shepherd or a Golden Retriever or something along those lines. But since we're in an apartment, that's not really feasible yet.
 
@StrixVaria We are the same robot. German Shepherds are the best. Irish Wolfhounds are too.
 
10:12 PM
@OrigamiRobot I just had to look up pictures of Irish Wolfhounds. I don't think I've ever seen one in real life, but they look pretty cool.
 
I would either get a havanese or a newfoundland. Ironic thing is one of the dogs is very small, the other is very very large.
 
@StrixVaria They are the giantest dogs ever.
 
@OrigamiRobot Sounds good to me.

Q: Are shields not subject to armor/magic resist damage reductions?

Nick TI was playing Shen the other night and thoroughly enjoying it, but it seemed like a few times I cast my ultimate, the shield was just ripped apart in no time flat. I was usually using it on carries who weren't building much defense, but the ~900-1000 damage shield was disappearing so fast, with ...

Q: Non Xbox live profiles getting pestered on sign in

DavidGougeI have four profiles set up on my Xbox. Two of them have Xbox live accounts (me and my wife) and they sign on with no problems. The other two are for my children and they do not have Xbox Live accounts. When they sign in, they always get pestered with a message saying: "Your console can't conne...

 
Today in "Headlines I never thought I'd ever read": CmdrTaco joins the Washington Post.
 
10:13 PM
@StrixVaria They were bred to hunt wolves in Ireland. Now wolves are extinct in Ireland.
 
 
@James Also good, but likely a drool machine. :P
 
@OrigamiRobot Whenever I want to bother my GF I say I'm going to get a St. Bernard. She always goes nuts just thinking about the drool.
 
@OrigamiRobot One we had when I was growing up didnt drool that much that I recall.. Though most of my interaction with him was riding him around like a horse :)
 
I have a Great Pyrenees.
 
10:16 PM
Haha, and on a slightly unrelated note: thedoghousediaries.com/3175
 
@StrixVaria I want a Silver Fox
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Take this Santorum vs. Megadeth quiz. I scored 3/10, my brother 5/10.
 
@James Poking around there got me to this. :P thedoghousediaries.com/3438
 
@Ullallulloo Haha, Nice! :)
 
10:23 PM
@NickT 8/10.
 
nice
 
@NickT 3/10. I lost some respect for Megadeth in the taking of that thing.
 
lol
 
Quick, someone give me a female name, 12 character max.
 
I never listen to lyrics when I listen to music, so I don't even know what songs are about until it's awkward.
 
10:26 PM
@StrixVaria I do that too!
 
@GnomeSlice Gruntilda.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz You called?
 
@StrixVaria Not attractive enough.
 
@GnomeSlice That wasn't a requirement.
 
I'm adding them as we go, okay.
 
10:27 PM
@GnomeSlice I thought I was the only one.
 
@RavenDreamer So you edited the sentence I linked in the blog post for the error that I said "oh, and this looks goofy too", and completely ignored the whole reason I pointed it out.
 
...I did?
What'd you point out?
 
> Amalur does an okay job at avoiding the “10 Bare Asses” trope,
 
Ooooooh.
Ha. Freudian slip, I guess.
 
The trope in question has nothing to do with widespread nudity.
This is a review of Amalur, and not SCV, right?
 
10:28 PM
Indeed.
 
Because last I checked, it was you writing it and not @GnomeSlice
 
Freudian slip.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...SCV isn't the only game with boobs in it, you know.
Also, what fighting style would suit Lara Croft the best, you think?
 
@GnomeSlice You're the expert.
@GnomeSlice Devil Jin.
 
I'm remaking all of the video game heroines I'd nail the shit out of as custom characters in SCV.
 
10:29 PM
Or Cervantes.
Because he has a gun.
 
@StrixVaria That was my reasoning behind the cowboy.
I've not used Devil Jin yet.
 
It makes it difficult when only one character has a gun, because in pretty much every game ever, everyone has guns.
 
Also, who's this weirdo 'Dampierre' guy I've been seeing characters of in 'quick battle'?
 
@GnomeSlice Pro-order bonus from...Best Buy maybe.
 
Also, I don't remember how tall Lara is.
 
10:31 PM
Will probably come out as DLC eventually.
 
@StrixVaria Wow, that's no fair.
 
@GnomeSlice Do they not have Best Buys in Canada? (Legit don't know; not trying to sound like a stereotypical ignorant American.)
 
@StrixVaria Yes, they have tons.
Also 'Future Shop's.
Usually in the same plaza.
 
@GnomeSlice Not the only, but as far as new releases, it's certainly the most notable.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh yeah!? Well... well... FINE.
 
10:32 PM
I mean, it's not like there's a particularly notable reason for @RavenDreamer to be reviewing Tomb Raider or something.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That movie is great.
It's so ridiculous.
Haven't really played any of the games.
 
I'll be reviewing Mass Effect 3 starting at midnight.
Did you see what they'd done to Ashley? Tsk.
 
I want a big print of this
to frame.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Is that Santorum on top?
 
I don't pay enough attention to politics to know who the guy in the dog house is supposed to be.
 
10:33 PM
@RavenDreamer Yes.
 
@StrixVaria Do you know what the dog house is referencing?
 
@StrixVaria It's supposed to be Rick Santorum.
 
@RavenDreamer Do tell. Also, who is that.
 
@RavenDreamer Or that.
 
Lara Croft has had more real-life standins than any other video game character.
 
10:34 PM
I imagine it's hilarious though.
 
@RavenDreamer In case @StrixVaria doesn't: The short version is that Mitt Romney supposedly once drove cross country with his dog strapped to the roof of his car.
 
This caused the dog to defecate wildly, afterwhich Romney hosed the dog down and put it right back on top.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz From the little I've seen of the GOP debates, Mitt Romney is the least incoherent of the lot.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz Ah, yes. I was aware, I was offering to explain it to Strix.
 
Wh... I suddenly have no idea what's going on in here any more.
 
10:35 PM
@RavenDreamer And I was short circuiting the offer, because if he didn't recognize Santorum, he almost certainly wasn't aware.
@StrixVaria He's only the 'least incoherent' when he isn't trying to talk about his own money or relate to people that don't have lots of money,.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz You just wanted to steal the political thunder.
Long day at work, or a short day after all?
 
As soon as he tries to do either, he becomes a gibbering mess.
@RavenDreamer If I'm on chat, I can't be at work. The two are fundamentally incompatible.
@RavenDreamer My 'office' has four wheels and spends most of the day at 30 mph.
 
Someone want to make a chrome plugin to hide ITG?
 
@BrianColvin no plugin needed!
 
@BrianColvin You can add it to your ignored tags, which takes you about halfway there.
 
10:37 PM
save them from wrath of strix ~_~
 
oh god

@LessPop_MoreFizz True, but I don't know how long you've been in chat.
 
put it on your ignore tags, and then hide your ignored tags.
 
@RavenDreamer Since I asked if you were around.

Hey, who did that...
 
10:38 PM
He can't help it!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Based on my vague Google search, it seems that Romney is winning the primary so far.
 
@StrixVaria Eh... sort of.
 
@StrixVaria He's the John Kerry of the Republican primary.
Though if you're not heavy poltics, that might not mean much to you.
 
When John Kerry was a candidate, I had just turned 18 and started paying attention after the primaries were over.
 
@StrixVaria We'll have a better idea tomorrow, but the short version is that Romney has 'won' most states to date, but he's done so by largely insignificant margins - even more importantly, every state that has voted to date (and for the next couple of weeks) divides it's delegates proportionally at the convention, and a candidate needs a majority not a plurality of delegates to get the nom.
 
10:40 PM
So no, I don't know what that means.

Q: How do I fill the Memory Book?

Ashley NunnSome guy had me go on a quest to find a Memory Book, which he then gave to me. He told me that in order to fill it, I had to complete certain actions over and over again to unlock pages that would then "tell me about the world". What sorts of things to I have to do over and over again in order...

 
lol, apparently I can't even restart the system cleanly
 
And Romney has earned a Plurality at best for the most part.
 
@Wipqozn Ok, thanks!
 
Which means that, if the current trend continues, we may very well see the first brokered convention in over 40 years.
 
10:40 PM
and the three finger salute isn't effective. Oh well bbl
 
Which, for a political wonk like me, would be fascinating, but which for most of the country, and especially for casual Republicans, will be an absolute train wreck.
 
@StrixVaria He may be "the best", but "the best" in a field of weak candidates... is still a weak candidate.
 
I find it difficult to watch or read about Republicans arguing with each other because I never agree with any of them.
 
I heard Santorum vowed to unmarry all gay marriages, should he become president.
 
@RavenDreamer Welp, there's my vote gone.
Not that he ever had it to begin with.
 
10:42 PM
@StrixVaria Are you currently gay married?
 
@RavenDreamer Well, that should keep him occupied for the remainder of his term.
 
every contender against romney has had his time in the spotlight, now its santorums turn :P
 
@RavenDreamer No but I can't fathom a person with an ounce of logic in his head denouncing gay marriage.

@OrigamiRobot Unfortunately, the Zelda ones rely on a mod that doesn't have a multiplayer mode. That said, I'm still waiting for @Wipqozn to decide if we're ever going to the play any more of Vech's (he's the guy who made the Race for Wool and the Capture the Wool that we did/do) Super Hostile series for "Game On!", like I suggested. If not, I'm going to do them myself, and you're welcome to join me then. :)
 
@BrianColvin You mean "everyone who isn't Ron Paul, because #@$ that guy".
 
10:42 PM
@BrianColvin Technically, it's Santorum's second turn.
 
And logic is one of those things I value pretty highly.
 
@BrianColvin His turn was in Iowa.
 
@RavenDreamer Ron Paul has quite the cult following tho
err
 
@BrianColvin Yeah, but Fox News hates him. So... he gets marginalized. Everywhere. Everywhere.
 
Hrrrrm....
 
10:43 PM
@RavenDreamer Ron Pauls turn is next if he wins Idaho tomorrow. If he doesn't win Idaho tomorrow, his turn comes at the Convention, when the fact that he has quietly taken 10-15% of the delegates from every state means that he gets to choose which of the other two guys becomes the nominee.
 
@StrixVaria Seriously, we are the same robot. Separated at build time.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yup. Which was his plan all along.
 
Basically, Ron Paul is positioning himself to be the kingmaker, not the king.
 
@John I get off work in 15 minutes. I'm sure we can find something.
 
@OrigamiRobot I dub thy OrigamiRobot Bending Rodriguez.
 
10:44 PM
@RavenDreamer more or less. Hence the way his campaign has focused on caucus states and proportional delegate distribution states - and done quite well in some very populous ones, like Washington, where he came out with ~25% of the vote.
 
@RavenDreamer Folding*
 
@GraceNote Pick for your brain?
 
Idaho is his Big Moment though.
He very nearly won Idaho in '08, and he's substantially stronger as a candidate this time around.
 
The primary season rarely makes it all the way to North Carolina.
 
It's a caucus state, and the other candidates have largely ignored it because Ohio is so goddamned important on Super Tuesday.
 
10:45 PM
It did in '08 though, actually.
 
I don't think Ron Paul even cares if he wins anything, hasn't he even stated something similar to that?
 
@OrigamiRobot The super hostile series has a lot of maps. I'm sure we can, also.
 
@RavenDreamer I don't even know what you mean there
 
@GraceNote Penny for your thoughts?
 
@RavenDreamer I wouldn't say rarely - most primaries don't get sewn up until April at least. Though Republican primaries tend to be less likely to drag on.
 
10:46 PM
I.e., I'd like to pick your brain.
 
@John I really want to play around with enchanting and brewing. Once a week is just too little for me.
 
@GraceNote Uhoh. You do have thoughts, right? From time to time? Little ones, at least?
 
@RavenDreamer Cheapskate
 
@RavenDreamer Thoughts on what?
 
@BrianColvin It's not so much that he doesn't care - he wants to win whatever states he can. It's that he's not going to be deterred if he doesn't.
 
10:47 PM
@RavenDreamer Thinking too much is what I do as a general rule.
 
3 mins ago, by Grace Note
Hrrrrm....
These thoughts.
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm not sure of a map for that, but you can always to that in creative mode. But I know what you mean about once a week not being enough.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz do you read Nate Silver?
 
@RavenDreamer That's not thinking so much as concern. There's an auditory cue there, after all.
 
In the end 60% of the US won't vote, 20 will go dem, 14 will go rep and the other 6 will go other
 
10:48 PM
@John The LP being once per week. The map doesn't have to be about those things. I just want to do them on a non creative map.
 
I want copyright and electoral reform, I think.
But neither position is particularly electable.
 
@OrigamiRobot Well, I'm not sure adventure maps are the best place to do that...
 
@RavenDreamer We live in an internet age, who needs electorates!
switch to populous vote
 
@John It was more of an aside than a reason to play adventure maps.
 
@OrigamiRobot Good.
 
10:50 PM
@BrianColvin I think that qualifies as "reform". :P
 
@BrianColvin In the electoral college, it is possible to win with only like 18% of the popular vote.
 
So yes lets reform away the electoral college ;)
 
So, I'm not thinking about anything (well, okay, I am thinking about a fair number of things, and I could talk about them, but they're completely unrelated to the current topic of conversation), but more that I'm expressing concern that I'm just making sure the topic of conversation doesn't turn major south at any point, is all.
 
@BrianColvin That would make me actually vote.
 
The electoral college made sense way back when messages were carried on horseback.
 
10:50 PM
@RavenDreamer 538 is an amazing thing.
 
@GraceNote It won't. We're polarizing ourselves, but since we're all of similar viewpoints, no one suffers!
 
What was it 1 lantern for whigs and 2 for tories? oh god my history is horrible
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I also found out that you can get around the monthly article restriction by simply pressing "stop" before the page blocker has time to finish loading (the article loads first).
 
@GraceNote I would agree. I've always tried to stay away from politics in here.
 
@GraceNote We could switch to a different controversial topic that's more relevant to the site hint hint :P
 
10:52 PM
@RavenDreamer That mostly works, but it occasionally doesn't. Enough that I just grabbed a bookmarklet instead.
 
Other than Gaming.SE politics, that is.
 
SO HOW 'BOUT THEM MASS EFFECTS?
 
How much money did they spend on marketing?
 
@RavenDreamer I have 6 hours to finish ME2! AUGH!
 
@RavenDreamer OH MY GOD MY PREORDER HAS SHIPPED
 
10:52 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz You have at least 12, counting in Origin-related troubles when EA's decryption servers crash.
 
@RavenDreamer HAVE FUN WITH EA SUPPORT LOLOLOLOL
Sorry it's mandatory.
 
My Shep. <3
That's the before picture, actually.
 
@StrixVaria I'm just going to steal a copy from Best Buy and donate $60 to the EFF. Take that EA! Conscience clear!

@RavenDreamer Already preloaded, so fingerscrossed
Time to fireitup.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Me too! It looks like all it needs to do is verify the date from EA's servers...
Here's the after picture
 
10:56 PM
I will have to wait agonizing hours for my UPS delivery. Tear. :(
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Go rescue your final squadmate!
 
@RavenDreamer I am doing some random planet assignments that have upgrades on them
 
Are there no Sunglasses in SCV?

Q: Skyrim mods problem

SkarphéðinnWhen I'm getting a mod with for example a meshes folder it works and then I want another mod which has also a meshes folder then I can't use both at once because I have to change the name on one folder and then wont it work

 
I'm actually really annoyed at how limited the SCV creation mode is. :/
One of the undergarment sets actually looks startlingly like the original Lara's blue... wool... thing. Except it's a turtleneck.
 
11:07 PM
I don't usually consider turtlenecks as undergarments.
 
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I tried going for this look, but there aren't any V_necked shirts...
 
Eurgh.
 
@StrixVaria see the Perry v Brown 'reenactment' or whatever you want to call it?
 
I... think I just watched a dubstep remix of a State Farm commercial.
 
11:12 PM
do tell
 
But that undergarment thing looks exactly like whatever the hell it is she's wearing there, only turtleneck =[
@RavenDreamer ........
 
@GnomeSlice It was another state farm commercial. It was a youtube ad that was itself a dubstep remix of another youtube ad.
 
@RavenDreamer Urgh.
What's this annoying youtube ad that SPEAKS now!?
Congratulations! You've won!
I've been seeing it more and more.

I've been trying, and trying to recreate various video game characters in the SCV character creation, and so far, it's been so limited I've given up on each of them.
Looks like Lara will be no different.
 
@NickT Die a horrible nasty and firey death :P
Been such a long time since I have been rick rolled I forgot the song even started that way :D
 
This is really pissing me off. Seriously.
What's the point of a character creation mode if you're so restricted they all end up looking the same?
 
@GnomeSlice Because it keeps them from being sued by reproducing copyrighted IP within their game... It also makes sure the characters don't go beyond what the game is capable of utilizing :)
 
@James The built-in characters have far more complicated outfits.
I can't even recreate either of those two Lara Croft tops I linked a little while ago.
And they're what... one piece each?

@Sterno: You might find EpicNameBros Dark Souls Lore Videos interesting. Basing this on this question of yours.

@Wipqozn Thanks, I'll check it out
 
Hm... I'm not sure which is more absurd to contemplate. That I just head-shot four guys with one arrow, or that I also hit five chickens (two of which were right through the torso) in that same shot.
 
@GraceNote o.O
 
Was this arrow the size of a dump truck?
 
11:32 PM
@GraceNote Should we be calling 911 ??? :)
 
@BenBrocka Roughly speaking, it's smaller than a hand grenade.
 
@James You realize that you were just added to her hit list, right?
 
@James Kinda late for that
 
@Wipqozn I am happy in my ignorance :)
 
@BenBrocka I guess you could say it's about as big as a dragonfly.
 
11:37 PM
That's some impressive penetrative power then
 
Anyone like Manchester Orchestra? Know similar bands? They sounds Killers-ish
 
@StrixVaria lol
 
@BenBrocka Well, it is an anti-tank crossbow.
(At least, I modified this bowgun to be anti-tank. Kinda useful to have that extra punch, y'know? Being able to shoot 3 times normal range only helps you so far)
 
How low did Just Cause 2 get on Steam in the past?
the 30 min onlive demo was kinda fun although the game looks kind of a grind
 
11:41 PM
@GraceNote LoL game?
 
@RavenDreamer Not right now, sorrehs
 
@RavenDreamer CAN I HAS LOL?
 
I'm at 4 straight losses. I'm looking for a CoOp game where I can not suck or have to deal with teamates who build 4 Tiamats.
 
@badp I am pretty sure I got 1 and 2 of that game franchise as a publisher pack for fairly cheap. I am not sure about individual deals though.
 
@RavenDreamer hey, I just saw a question about that
 
11:42 PM
@NickT I know. It happened to me last night. Made me rage hard.
Esp. since it was a Fiora doing it.
 
I never use Tiamat's, don't even know what it is
 
Pretty sure I just locked myself into a romance with Thane.
Oops?
 
@RavenDreamer what is your summoner name
 
@RavenDreamer Coop vs. AI?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Just pick the bottom option when you go through the Omega 4 relay, you won't consumate your romance... which means it won't matter?
 
11:43 PM
@RavenDreamer Was this in an actual PvP game?
 
@RavenDreamer I don't know that I dislike this result.
 
@GraceNote Yes.
 
:3703904 If you can wait 6 waves, I could possibly join in for a Coop vs. AI.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I accidentally locked myself in with Garrus. And then the next time I spoke to him, he was all, "I don't wanna be part of a love triangle."
 
@RavenDreamer did you post and remove? I wasn't looking
 
11:44 PM
And I was... oops.
@NickT Check my Gaming profile.
@GraceNote 6 waves in what?
 
Oh, nice, I just shot a troll in the foot, a knight right through the heart, and a ghost right in the head. You don't usually get such nice shots.
 
mmk
 
@RavenDreamer It'll take no longer than 6 minutes, ideally, as long as there are no rats.
 
@GraceNote Sounds like some Tower Defense game.
 
@RavenDreamer It's Elona Shooter.
 
11:46 PM
@RavenDreamer I accidentally locked myself out with Jacob really early on.
so /shrug
 
@GraceNote Well... I was right on the "Defense" bit.
 
Ah, nevermind, I'll just clear this round of Ragnarok later.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I did the same, actually, though I'm not quite sure what did it. (I wanted the renegade points, so whatever)
 
@RavenDreamer hit me if you want to LoLs or w/e within the next however long
 
@GraceNote I'm curious as to what draw weight that would have...
 
11:49 PM
2 more slots for LoL Co - Op. First and only call.
 
@BenBrocka To be fair, the anti-tank part is useless against humans and chickens.
 
so if the sequel to LoL were to be RoFL, what would that stand for
 
@NickT Reckoning of Legends.
 
@NickT Realms of Fallen Legends
It's the dark sequel which takes place after the league has collapsed, and the world has ended. Twice.
