6:00 PM

I crossed out 20-30% of the contract, and told them I wouldn't sign it until those were removed. I didn't care if they were unenforceable or not, I wasn't going to court for violating something that they couldn't enforce anyways.

That clause was item #1 that I crossed out.

THIS IS SPARTA!!!

And the one about anything I write during my employment term was another one. They can have what I write while they pay me for it. Anything I write on my own time is mine.

But then, this is the company I have a nigh endless number of horror stories about.

Yeah I wish there would be more backlash against contracts like that

Because we need arating system for vidja games ht and totally don't already have one goo.gl/mag/4PTTUqp

(Unrelated thought)

Aww crap phone keyboard what have you done

@OrigamiRobot gresbrthbdrtbsrthrsthsruthn

@BenBrocka Going to court is scary for most people. They'd rather cave and not have to deal with it. That's what corporations rely on.

6:07 PM

@fbueckert We love your stories, grandpa

@SaintWacko I was there for less than three years.

The fact that I have this many stories scares me, looking back.

@GnomeSlice What?

I need to clear out my Steam wishlist at some point.

@OrigamiRobot Nothing

I have to leave. Everyone keep an eye on @GnomeSlice while I'm gone.

6:10 PM

@Ullallulloo Now why is that not one-boxed, I wonder...

@fbueckert, you're in charge.

@OrigamiRobot Flag everything he says? Got it.

Bah, you can't remove shit from your Steam wishlist through the Android app. :(

BOOM

Failure

Oh

Oh well.

Oops.

6:11 PM

🍊

Oh wait, you sort of can

@OrigamiRobot is going to come back to find the Bridge in flames

@GnomeSlice @StrixVaria now he failed.

@OrigamiRobot 24 hour reset go!

@GnomeSlice Damn, dude. It wasn't 30 seconds after @OrigamiRobot said he was leaving. O_o

6:12 PM

Why doesn't Steam automatically remove games you own from your wishlist?

@GnomeSlice Always has for me.

@fbueckert No, it's not a recurring clock.

user15026

@gnomeslice it does though?

@OrigamiRobot He's only got one shot, and he blew it?

@Fluttershy Looking at it on Android, I see a bunch that I've gotten in bundles over the past. Like Detour.

6:13 PM

@Fluttershy That makes it even funnier!

ALthough I don't see any others.

@GnomeSlice Did you add them to Steam?

Oh, Splice too.

@GnomeSlice Your Steam hates you.

@Ullallulloo Yeah.

@OrigamiRobot Sorry man.

Sword and Swworcery is another one. Maybe it only removes games you buy specifically through Steam, and not games you activate a code for.

Uh, I definitely bought Torchlight II through Steam... so that's not it.

6:15 PM

@GnomeSlice Really? My wishlist always takes games out that I buy.

@GnomeSlice Don't know what to tell ya. It's always removed them for me.

Maybe it's just the Android app then.

@OrigamiRobot I told you I didn't want you to buy anything for me, didn't I.

I hope I'm not removing these from my library or something...

I still have a bunch of Desura games I want to play, too.

@GnomeSlice That's impossible without messaging Steam Support.

And they ask for confirmation.

@Ullallulloo Not if they're free games, which none of these are. So I'm probably okay.

@GnomeSlice If they're free games, what's the problem?

6:21 PM

@fbueckert Something you want to download later that you don't want to forget about, I don't know. But none of these are anyway.

@fbueckert Wouldn't removing something like TF2 erase all of your content/items etc?

@GnomeSlice That's a good question. I dunno.

@GnomeSlice No. It's assigned to your account.

Your items and all that are saved on the Valve servers.

I wouldn't think so; storing it locally would make it too easily hackable.

@fbueckert Read what you just said.

@fbueckert IT's not. See above. Valve has servers for storing Tf2 ITEMS.

also, caps

@GnomeSlice What he said makes perfect sense, and is in fact correct.

6:25 PM

@Wipqozn I'm just making a logic leap without spelling it out.

@fbueckert Yes, I see your leap in logic, makes perfect sense.

I was just confirming your jump is, in fact, correct.

@Wipqozn Evidenced by that fact that you can't use your items after a big update because it says it can't connect to the Valve server.

@Ullallulloo Yes.

Ugh, why doesn't Visual Studio create classes in C# as public by default.

Also, yes, TF2 items are stored on Valve's servers not your local machine.

yesterday, by Fluttershy

@Powerlord If you can go two days without mentioning Team Fortress 2, or anything related to it, I will buy you a game on Steam.

You lasted almost 24 hours. Good job!

6:30 PM

@Wipqozn He failed like four hours ago.

@Fluttershy Your face failed like four hours ago. Burn.

@Wipqozn MY FACE IS ADORABLE AND YOU KNOW IT

@Fluttershy ...it's true :(

@Wipqozn You should really get your eyes looked at; you're behind the curve.

I wish someone would offer me free games if I resist doing something for 24 hours.

6:32 PM

@Wipqozn Mine was 48 hours.

@Wipqozn Resist participating in the Bridge for 24 hours. :P

@fbueckert I'd do that.

@fbueckert No =[

You guys are my friends.

@GnomeSlice Then quit trying to convince us to flag you!

@GnomeSlice If you don't learn to filter, it's going to happen eventually.

6:32 PM

=P

I've had a one-week suspension before. It sucked

@GnomeSlice That was so great. I trolled you so bad when I took credit for your high score.

@fbueckert Okay. It's a deal. See you in 24 hours.

@Wipqozn I said participate. The caveat means you have to be present, but can't say anything.

Nobody ever offers me challenges like that. =(

I have a ninja star of alexander hamilton on my desk. nobody is as cool as me

6:35 PM

@Fluttershy I randomly give away games when I feel like it.

I haven't done it lately, though. The last two Steam sales didn't have anything really awesome. :(

@fbueckert I gift stuff to people often. <_<

We should do raffles. If enough people chipped in, we could do raffles in our Steam group or on meta.

@Fluttershy Problem is, not everyone has enough disposable income to participate.

Although, we should hopefully have another game giveaway soon.

@fbueckert Hopefully!

Hey guys! Nice to meet you all.

Have we had one since Diablo 3?

6:39 PM

I'm Not Wipqozn, as you can clearly see by my name and gravatar.

@Fluttershy No, because Lauren quit.

@Ullallulloo Damn.

@NotWipqozn Obeying the letter while ignoring the spirit, I see.

@fbueckert I'm not sure what you mean.

but nice to meet you!

@Fluttershy They said they'll do them again when they find a good game now though.

user image

Clearly.

6:41 PM

@Wipqozn You still show up as Wipqozn to me.

@Ullallulloo Man, that Wipqozn guy is so handsome.

@Fluttershy Damn cache.

err, I mean, I have no idea what you're talking about!

I'm not Wipqozn.

Your screen must be broken.

@Ullallulloo There are quite a few big releases in March, I believe.

@Fluttershy Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Luigi's Ghost Hunter 2: Revenge of the Ghosts, and other stuff.

Don't Starve might be good.

@Ullallulloo I wasn't impressed by the demo.

6:43 PM

@NotWipqozn Ah, I haven't tried it.

@NotWipqozn Gears of War, God of War, Tomb Raider, South Park, Starcraft...

@NotWipqozn You still show up as the turtle. Anyways, @Wipqozn has to be in the Bridge, but not say anything for 24 hours in order to get a free game.

@Fluttershy Starcraft is the only noteworthy game there.

@Ullallulloo It's a fun little game. Kinda hard, as the goal is really unintuitive.

So since he's not here, he can't get one.

6:44 PM

@NotWipqozn Starcraft 2 is garbage.

@NotWipqozn Definitely looking forward to MH3U.

@Fluttershy So is Gears of War.

YEAH, I WENT THERE!

BioShock Infinite, God of War: Ascension, and Starcraft 2: HotS

@Ullallulloo Bioshock is in March?

@Fluttershy Hey! I like Starcraft!

6:45 PM

@NotWipqozn If you made someone a room owner, I believe it would force refresh their screen, in order to fix this strange issue of it saying you are @wipqozn

user image

That's what my gravatar should be.

@Fluttershy The 26th according to Metacritic.

@SaintWacko That would work if I was still a room owner.

@NotWipqozn I force refreshed, so I see it

1 hour ago, by Feeds

badp has removed Wipqozn from the list of this room's owners.

6:46 PM

@fbueckert My condolences...

@NotWipqozn Oh, right

No @Wipqozning

I don't think that would work anyways.

We should test it though. @BenBrocka should make me a room owner again to see if it works.

@Ullallulloo Man... I watched 15 minutes of gameplay from that last night... The game looks good... But Bioshock 2 ruined everything for me.

@Fluttershy I don't usually play it multiplayer; just for fun.

6:47 PM

@Fluttershy I haven't played any of them.

@Ullallulloo The first one is amazing. One of the best FPSs I've ever played. The second one was crap.

Q: How do I get the second to last achievement?

I've unlocked all the trophies in Bug Defense for Android except for the penultimate one. Has anyone unlocked the second to last trophy, and if so, how do I get it?

achievements android bug-defense

Q: Is trading a cost-effective way to get diamond tools?

I finally decided to play around with Minecraft's trading system, and wanted to get some diamond tools. So I made a bunch of written books, and went to find a Librarian to trade with. He wouldn't take them. The only offer he had was for regular books (or maybe paper, I forget). Back to the crafti...

@fbueckert I play the original SC for fun. I hate SC2. Refuse to play it on principle.

@NotWipqozn Most could generate questions regardless.

@Fluttershy The always online bnet junk?

6:49 PM

@Fluttershy The DRM, LAN, or expansion reasons?

@fbueckert The charging $60 for 1/3rd of a game.

@Ullallulloo Oh, that's what you wee talking about. I thought we were just talking about games people were looking forward to. I was just trying to stir up some controversy by implying most of those games are crap due to my not liking them.

@Fluttershy There's a solid 20 hours, minimum, in the campaign itself.

Plus cheevos, if that's your thing.

@fbueckert I finished the campaign. Then I learned that it was only the Terran campaign. Will not play it anymore. I'm pretty against giving Blizzard any more of my money for a while.

@fbueckert $3/hr? Sounds pretty good to me.

6:51 PM

I don't recall how long the original campaign was, but I'd think 20 hours is pretty respectable for an RTS.

@NotWipqozn I've played D3 for over 200, I think. Same price.

@Fluttershy They made it fairly clear is the Terran campaign only. It's not Blizzards fault you didn't look before you bought.

@NotWipqozn I didn't buy it. Someone bought it for me. =P I still won't give Blizzard anymore money.

Plots to buy Heart of the Swarm for @Fluttershy

@fbueckert Even better, borrow $40 from him, and then use that to buy the game!

@NotWipqozn Pfft. If we have a giveaway for SC2, and I win, I might give it to him.

I want to see what the collector's edition looks like; that's what I got for Wings of Liberty.

6:54 PM

I'll just put it on Craigslist.

@Fluttershy Not if it's a digital copy!

@Fluttershy Wouldn't it make more sense to gift it to me?

@Fluttershy I'm required by law to star this.

You know, if someone wants to be me Starcraft 2, I'd be fine with it.

Although I think I'll probably get it for Christmas or my birthday.

@Powerlord How come? >_>

@fbueckert Well that'd just be a waste of your money. <_<

6:57 PM

@Ullallulloo Your birthday is in a month, nifty.

@Fluttershy Because I passed a law that said I had to star it.

@Powerlord Does that mean you support it?

@NotWipqozn Less than that, even. :)

@Fluttershy If you're that against it, then, yeah, it would be a waste of money.

I enjoy it, though, so I'll be picking it up.

@fbueckert If you absolutely must spend money on me, I'd like a PS3, or a larger Vita memory stick. =P

6:59 PM

@Fluttershy No. That's stupid. Spend the money on me instead. I'm greedy.
