Q: Can I get pregnant?

In most Harvest Moon games where you could get married, after a while your wife would get pregnant and have a baby (or two). Since your wife was an NPC it usually had little impact on gameplay. In Harvest Moon: A New Begining I picked a female character and just noticed that there are, in fact,...

10:10 PM

Anyone have suggestions of PS2 games I should pick up eventually?

@AshleyNunn genre?

user15026

@BenBrocka Hm - adventure, not shooting/sports

@AshleyNunn Okami?

I think we already discussed kingdom hearts

user15026

@agent86 I should really get that and play it before I play all of Okamiden. It might make more sense.

user15026

@agent86 Aye, and I have @Fluttershy's copies of the first two

10:13 PM

@AshleyNunn it had been so long between the two that I had no recollection of Okami when I played Okamiden... although I don't think I made it all the way through the latter.

I'd have to look at my collection, been a while since I played any PS2 games

user15026

@BenBrocka Yeah, I just unpacked my PS2, and realized I have 4 games for it, two of which are KH.

user15026

(well, 1 and 2)

Dark Cloud 2 was one of my favorite PS2 games. But it's long

I know you have coordination issues occasionally, so Amplitude might be out, but it's good (harmonix game pre-Guitar Hero)

yeah, dark cloud 2 was quite good.

spheeeeda!

you can take pictures of things and then go to your workshop and combine the pictures into new things and that is awesome

10:14 PM

@AshleyNunn Onimusha series

also there is a giant robot. I am a sucker for giant robots

@agent86 I liked that game so much I forgave it for being golf

@agent86 wink

True Facts About Morgan Freeman.

@agent86 building towns was so fun. And I enjoyed leveling up weapons

I loved that they changed functionality; hammers vs wrenches for Max I think, and Monica had a few varieties of swords

10:16 PM

@OrigamiRobot blushes

@OrigamiRobot Oh hell yeah

Definitely start with #1 though. The rest weren't as good

@AshleyNunn Shadow of the Colossus

at least #2 and #3

@BenBrocka Wrong

#3 was good and #4 was good

@OrigamiRobot How? I didn't enjoy 2 very much at all

10:17 PM

also Beyond Good and Evil, and also Bully

Only #2 wasn't good

4?

Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams

Onimusha: Dawn Of Dreams, released in Japan as , is the sixth installment of Capcom's Onimusha series, released in March 2006. Dawn of Dreams focuses on a new protagonist, Soki (灰燼の蒼鬼 a.k.a. Yuki Hideyasu), the second son of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Gameplay Dawn of Dreams utilizes a complete 3D rendition of its environment rather than pre-rendered backdrops. In addition, the player is now able to control the camera for most of the game, as opposed to the static camera angles employed within its predecessors. A shop system allows the player to purchase weapons that they can upgrade, along with...

user15026

@agent86 That is actually one of the two non KH games i own :)

#3 was definitely worth a play, #1 was still my favorite though

I didn't even finish #2

10:17 PM

@AshleyNunn there's a trio of Prince of Persia games from that time period, Sands of Time is widely regarded as a classic. there's a lot of platforming, but there's also a time rewind feature which is nice

@OrigamiRobot Didn't even know that existed

@BenBrocka Yea #2 was pretty bad. But #3 was fun.

user15026

@agent86 Cool beans :)

user15026

I just figure I have the thing, I might as well get games for it :)

#2 may be murkying my memories of #3. I remember enjoying it but not replaying it. I think I replayed #1 at least 3 times

10:19 PM

1>3=4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>2

6th? Were there portable versions or something?

@BenBrocka Yea, Tactics and Blade Warriors

Also onimusha 1 was my first PS2 game ever and made me love the system, so I might be a bit biased on that one

I forget what else I even got, I think that might have been all I had at first. How long was it until FFX came out?

@BenBrocka I never had a PS2, but I played Onimusha at a friends house.

Ze Franks True Facts videos are both informative and adorable.

10:22 PM

I got the Xbox release later

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot I'm surprised I didn't play my PS2 to death. If I've played more on my PS3 than the PS2 it's probably only because of Disgaea and Borderlands

@BenBrocka Genma Onimusha actually added a bit of new content.

I never got an Xbox. Tempted to check out #4 though. I'd have to get a PS2 again for that though....

Reaaaally hope the PS4 supports PS2 games. But unfortunately I think Nintendo's set an expectation of 1 generation of backwards compatibility is enough

(hint: it's not and ^%& you for suggesting such)

@BenBrocka I made it to the last bosses and gave up.

Q: How can I disable battle cycling of other civs in Civilization 5?

This question has nothing to do with the actual "animations." It more has to do with the camera pan during battle. In a multiplayer game, I'm stuck watching my friend's battles. If during that sequence I click to do something for my turn, the camera immediately jumps back over to another battle. ...

@SaintWacko Happy birthday?

@Ullallulloo Haha, thanks!

hmmmmmmm

10:47 PM

I think I must have left itunes playing after a weekend or two or three. I listen to anamanaguchi a lot but I don't think I've listen to this entire playlist 1500+ times

Hm that's over 63 days of continuous listening. Pretty sure that's not accurate

Especially since Meow came out less than 63 days ago

So I'm giving this Pokémon 3D thing a go

and oh god the random encounters

random encounters everywhere

@badp What where?

(Also the game bugged me to catch a pokèmon and when eventually I could I did. This poor owl thing is so weak, he faints in two attacks)

@StrixVaria penny-arcade.com/report/editorial-article/…

Hoothoot?

@StrixVaria Ayeaye

Basically it's an attempt to port Pokémon Silver to "3D"

10:57 PM

Meh.

The poor soul built the 3D models by hand, triangle by triangle.

One box is 10 triangles without the bottom side or inside-facing faces.

That... is not fun.

(The order of the points of each of the 10 triangles matters; if you get it wrong, the face is considered inward rather than outward and, in other words, it's not drawn.)

I've had to build a couple models like this for a university project actually. Wasn't fun at all.

It was an invalid edit! It made the post worse.

@Wipqozn Oh. Meh. It got rejected anyway.

@Fluttershy All I know is you are a monster.

It clearly did none of that.

@FAE @AshleyNunn Looks like Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD is making it's way over the pond!

@FAE Doesn't seem to be much reason to add in English voice acting if it's not being ported.

user15026

@FAE That and it will likely get released on ps3, which is no good for me.

@Fluttershy Yeah, but invalid was more right.

@Wipqozn Meh.

@Wipqozn Are you arguing about who's more right again? Bad turtle!

@fbueckert I'M SORRY! I CAN'T HELP IT!

I think we all could benefit from some dancing

@Wipqozn He altered it so it would only respond like 10% of the time.

11:26 PM

@fbueckert That's just asking for 10x the commands. ;)

Argh, KSP crashed on me again. And I wasn't even doing anything special

@Coronus Yeah, don't do that.

@fbueckert Actually, I had that one turned off.

Man, SimCity's almost got me. I love the look of it.

@OrigamiRobot I'll need to get my tortoise revenge on you later.

11:30 PM

But between always online and shudder Origin, I'm still not going to get it.

@Wipqozn That one is on 10% (if it evens till works)

@OrigamiRobot tortoise

@fbueckert I feel that in time you may regret this

@OrigamiRobot: Do you just have it set up with a random number generator?

@Wipqozn Basically

11:31 PM

@kalina Maybe. Probably not. There's enough games to play.

depriving yourself of games because of reasons like that I can understand but wouldn't put myself through it for something I actually wanted to do

@kalina It's my message to the publishers: Always online DRM is stupid.

@fbueckert What if it's an MMO?

And since the publisher is EA, the message to them includes, "Fuck you, EA."

@fbueckert You play Diablo 3, your standpoint is hypocritical

11:34 PM

@Wipqozn Then it's not DRM.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Hi Chat.

@fbueckert I think I'm legally bound to star any message which paints EA in a negative light.

@kalina To a degree, yeah, it is. I got sucked into buying it. Don't want to buy any more always online single player games, though.

@fbueckert Don't take that as an insult btw, I'm just pointing out that you've gone against your point of view in the past and nothing more

and I think SimCity will be worth my time more than Diablo 3 was

and I already have Origin because of Mass Effect 3

@Wipqozn Try without sudo

11:35 PM

@OrigamiRobot Dance

@kalina Which is another reason why I won't play ME 3.

oh, that might not work if you look at the source.

@OrigamiRobot Dance

@fbueckert also, Origin isn't that bad anymore

@kalina It's not Steam.

@Wipqozn Is Javascript else if or elif or fi or whatevericantkeeptrack?

@fbueckert Steam as an application is not that special, it's just Valve is such a nice company

I don't want my personal information stored in yet another location, so that retailers can sell my information without my knowledge or consent.

But even then, Valve do stuff that if any other company did it the world would have an aneurysm

Like using players as guinea pigs to test microtransactions in the form of hats

11:37 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Haven't these people ever heard of google?

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Then I don't know why it didn't work

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@OrigamiRobot Gimme the code

or declaring they're going for episodic content and then releasing games that are half the size but take 5x as long to deliver (cough Half Life Episode X)

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'll figure it out later.

I kinda like seeing @Wipqozn try in vain.

@kalina That's just because of the 3 in Episode 3.

11:38 PM

@Wipqozn lol

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh yea, semicolons are important.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@OrigamiRobot Duh

Sure, EA are far more sinister, I'm not going to boycott Simcity just because of Origin though

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Shush.

@Wipqozn Again

@kalina I've boycotted Ubisoft's games a couple years now, due to their stupidity in DRM choices.

Only one I picked up was Anno 2070, since I've been a fan of them since long before they got bought by Ubicrap.

11:42 PM

I don't really play that many ubisoft games

I will obtain in a completely legitimate manner a copy of Watch Dogs when it comes out and see if it's any good before buying it

ಠ_ಠ

user15026

@kalina I keep thinking about getting SimCity, but when I played the older ones, all I liked to do was destroy things.

@AshleyNunn that's part of the fun

in games like that I always play it properly until it bores me, then enable all cheats, build something epic and destroy it

user15026

@kalina this is true. This is also why I made death trap roller coaster in RCT
