3:00 PM
That's like saying you don't want to buy two sandwiches for you both to eat them.
 
@3ventic LEARN IT
 
@MichaelDunfield AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH... wait, what?
 
@3ventic I just assume that when user = GnomeSlice, post is unknown
 
Where am I?
 
@Celta You have two separate PC's though?
 
3:01 PM
@Unionhawk sat on top of a large cake
surrounded by marzipan
 
@kalina I can't imagine that's a good thing, given your imagination
 
@Unionhawk ...
cake is the best thing in the world
after fire
and ... sex
and sleep
 
@ken.ganong yes
 
well ok fine, cake is one of the best things in the world
 
@kalina cake vs sour skittles
 
3:03 PM
@OrigamiRobot Cake made with sour skittles o.O ...ew
 
Time to kill the ant queen!
 
@kalina She looks like something very simple just blew her mind; like, confused and making the mind blown gesture at the same time.
 
well it is Jenna Marbles
somebody probably just told her the world was round
 
@kalina Wait, wat?
IT IS?
 
3:05 PM
ah Americans, so easily confused
 
...
 
You know the Bank of America is less than 100 years old right?
 
@Celta I highly question your spending priorities.
 
your financial institution is so young that we've got libraries with more history
 
3:06 PM
@kalina Strictly speaking, you just have more history. Full stop.
 
@kalina <3 Jenna Marbles
 
America is quite young
 
@Unionhawk shame they don't keep that in mind before telling the rest of the world how to do stuff
@MichaelDunfield figures you would
 
@kalina lol
 
@ken.ganong i didn´t buy both, i bought mine and our parents bought hers lol
 
3:07 PM
Her video on how to make your boobs look bigger was very er, informative.
 
@kalina Then again, there have been long running financial institutions who've turned out to be bankrolling terrorists and the mafia.
 
The US is very young. You can tell by examining the immaturity of our politicians.
 
Here: "Holy shit, that's building's 200 years old?" Elsewhere: "Damn, that's been here for 1000+ years"
 
@fbueckert like the American government
 
@kalina Just because it's called "Bank of America" doesn't mean it is America's bank.
 
3:08 PM
@Unionhawk true story, I was at a castle in the UK once and some American tourists were there, completely dumbfounded how this building was 3x older than their country

IT'S REALLY ALL CANADA TELLING PEOPLE WHAT TO DO, APPARENTLY, SO NYEH
 
Canadians are nice people though!
 
@kalina HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE 'MERICA IS OLDEST COUNTRY
 
except all those Quebecers
 
@kalina Validation!
 
3:09 PM
and GnomeSlice
 
GnomeSlice was one of the best Canadians I've ever met, I miss him
 
@kalina This is not the GnomeSlice you are looking for
2
 
@kalina But that Michael Dunfield guy is okay too, I guess
 
@Unionhawk eh? no, lump him in with Quebecers
 
3:10 PM
@kalina Exactly. No one suspects us.
 
Canada would be terrible as one of the world's foremost superpowers, they'd spend so much time apologising for one thing or another that it's all we'd ever hear about
 
Everybody would get along though
 
no
the world will never get along
until I'm declared supreme ruler of humanity
 
@Unionhawk We're just too polite to rub the fact that we're controlling everything in your face.
 
@kalina LIES
 
3:12 PM
and then the world will get along
preceeded by a sharp decline in population
 
@kalina burning != 'getting along'
 
12 secs ago, by Unionhawk
@kalina LIES
 
@kalina And y'all would have to watch hockey and curling.
 
@JasonBerkan hardly, the Americans didn't succeed in forcing their sports on us, even after renaming them to use our names
 
@kalina But we're not Americans. We would succeed.
 
3:13 PM
No... the conversation would go like this
"We're not interested in hockey, stop forcing it on us"
"Sorry"
 
@Unionhawk if Canada is controlling the United States, can you please fix our governement.... we broke it :/
 
yes you did
too many years of trying to take control of the rest of the world, and ironically your own government fails
maybe we should start carpet bombing America on accounts of them having an unstable government
 
@ken.ganong I am not canadian.
 
What would a 'customer experience representative' do at a book store?
 
they've definitely got some weapons of mass destruction
@MichaelDunfield meet and greet, deal with returns
recommend books
 
3:15 PM
Oh, that doesn't sound so har- shit
 
I'd always imagined working in a book store/library/similar would be one of those things that would benefit by having a real passion about what you're doing
 
He'll find himself recommending video games instead on accident.
 
@Unionhawk Quiet, you.
 
"Hey guys, welcome to <store>, check these links!"
 
@Unionhawk "You like Harry Potter? You should play Skydrift. It's awesome!"
8
 
3:16 PM
I hate you guys.
@JasonBerkan ಠ_ಠ
 
Aww, be nice, guys.
 
@fbueckert this is being nice
 
@MichaelDunfield I honestly like you, and I don't mind your links (other than the fact that you link to platformers and I hate them).
 
@JasonBerkan You hate platformers?
 
now you've done it
RUN FOR THE HILLS @JasonBerkan
 
3:17 PM
@GraceNote BLASPHEMY!
 
SAVE YOURSELF
 
@GraceNote No hand / eye coordination.
I've been killed by the first Goomba in Super Mario Bros 13435 times.
 
@JasonBerkan Exactly?
 
@JasonBerkan this is probably a world record
 
I'm not sure whether to assume that's a random number or to think you actually tried to play the game that many times.
 
3:18 PM
@JasonBerkan Don't play Angvik
 
@JasonBerkan I didn't know it was possible to die to the first Goomba.
@MichaelDunfield So is this an unrecommendation?
 
@GraceNote I just hit a bunch of numbers at the top of the keyboard.
 
@Wipqozn Yes. For him. Recommendation for everyone else.
 
@JasonBerkan I've been killed by the first enemy in Mega Man 1 about that many times.
 
Very tricky game. I've only made it to the fourth area once.
 
3:19 PM
@Wipqozn It made multi-player SMB annoying. My friend would play for 20 minutes. I would play for 5 seconds.
 
I have never played a Mega Man game!
Mock me for I am inexperienced
 
@kalina That's not as bad as being terrible at Mario.
 
...
I've only ever played super mario 3
 
That's the best one, so that's okay.
 
and the first three zeldas
and something called starfox
 
3:21 PM
@kalina No, that is not a mock-worthy attribute. Try another.
 
Starfox!
 
ZElda LTTP was the best one, so that's fine too.
 
OH, OH
Fans of Starfox, check out Futuridium. It's free!
 
NO
GOD NO
 
And has a bitchin soundtrack
 
3:21 PM
WHERE IS GNOMESLICE
 
@kalina would approve of the music I'm sure
 
My only regret is that because I was bad at platformers I decided that consoles sucked, so I missed out on the entire SNES and N64 catalog of games.
 
@MichaelDunfield maybe but you linked it so I can't click it out of principle
 
@JasonBerkan Nooooooooooooo
 
@JasonBerkan Ouch
 
@JasonBerkan consoles do suck
 
One of the tracks ^
Hot Wheels Turbo Racing for N64 was amazing
 
@kalina I knew a fellow who was in the game translations business, is a few years older than me, and never heard of Super Mario until I met him.
 
@MichaelDunfield Yeah. Luckily I've been able to get most of the games I wanted to play on the Wii Virtual Console.

Q: How many Pokemon are there as of X/Y?

Jonathan DrainBefore Pokemon X and Pokemon Y there were 649 Pokemon in the National Pokedex, not including variant forms. How many new Pokedex entries does Pokemon X/Y add and what are the total number of Pokemon now?

 
@GraceNote wow
 
Also Diddy Kong Racing
Best game ever made
 
I've heard of it for sure
but aside from emulation I've never owned a console earlier than a Dreamcast
and my total console ownership consists of Dreamcast, PSP, Wii
 
@kalina So, yeah. Don't even try and claim inexpertise. I know the one man who will school everyone in that department.
 
Although this question was previously closed as Pokemon X/Y had not been released at the time. I'm re-opening it as it's already the global release date in Australia and Japan. — Jonathan Drain 2 mins ago
 
3:23 PM
@kalina Games are games. I don't care where I play them anymore.
 
@kalina I've got a couple of those
Well, my dad does
 
Wouldn't the correct way to go about that be reopening the original?
 
my dreamcast still powers up
 
@JasonBerkan The only thing I care about is whether I own the system, ultimately.
 
and I have jet set radio for it
 
3:24 PM
@Unionhawk ...this is happening again?
 
@GraceNote I don't know, I just saw the comment (above)
 
I'm having deja vu.
 
I still play my N64
 
We spoke last time on this, if the old one is gone (which it should be), and no one reopened it already, then we're done.
 
Whether or not it is happening depends on whether or not this is actually a problem, and I'm not at all certain.
 
3:24 PM
Well I haven't in a while, but it all works

A: Should we reopen question being closed for 'unreleased game' after the game is released

OrigamiRobotSpeculation about unreleased games is off-topic as per the FAQ. Debating what constitutes speculation in regard to official developer/publisher statement can be left to another meta post. For the sake of this answer, let's assume the questions it applies to are properly closed. Should we reope...

 
@MichaelDunfield no I'm not a huge fan of this
 
That's it. No more discussion needed, no more action. Any fiddling about reopening or reclosing or duplicate direction or anything is an absolute waste of absolutely everyone's absolute time.
 
GUYS PAY ATTENTION - THE QUESTION YOU'VE JUST LINKED IS LESS THAN 10 MINUTES OLD AND WASN'T REOPENED
 
@OrigamiRobot Aha. Right.
So it may be a kinda bad question tbh, but not a problem. MOVING ON
 
3:26 PM
@kalina Who said it was?
 
@kalina He previously asked it two months ago.
The question was since closed and then deleted.
 
right, well that's not "reopened" then is it
this is a new question, asked after the game was released, why are we even discussing it?
 
32 secs ago, by OrigamiRobot
@kalina Who said it was?
 
@OrigamiRobot the thing you linked
 
@kalina Correct. You're skipping the part where I'm answering a question that someone asked "Shouldn't the process be to reopen the original, not ask a new one?"
 
3:27 PM
@OrigamiRobot Strictly speaking, he did, but, semantics.
 
@GraceNote skipping or missing, or cake
scrolls up
 
@kalina Because @Unionhawk asked if the original should be reopened and this one closed.
 
@kalina Basically you created a completely worthless giant bold statement that doesn't have any help at all to any situation whatsoever.
 
@GraceNote I like giant bold statements
 
worthless bold is best bold
 
3:27 PM
@GraceNote you may delete it if you wish
 
@kalina Any fiddling about your specific giant bold statement above would be an absolute waste of absolutely everyone's absolute time.
 
I like wasting people's time and you know that to be the case!
 
JEEZ @KALINA STOP WASTING OUR TIME
 
STOP DEPRIVING ME OF THE THING I DO BEST
I FEEL SO OPPRESSED
 
Any fiddling with @kalina is a waste of time. Quick, @OrigamiRobot, accept that data!
 
3:29 PM
@fbueckert CANT READ: DATA ACCEPTED
 
I don't want any data about @kalina fiddling.
 
@kalina To point, I'm pretty good at making accurate and truthful statements.
 
@GraceNote well fine
 
I think we should undelete the old question, close the new one as a duplicate to it, and then redelete the old question.
 
I am a gentleman.
 
3:29 PM
@Wipqozn you!
I'm sure the policy was "if you ask it early it will be launched into the sun, along with your family, friends, and everypony you've ever known"
 
@Wipqozn I will jump out of your 3DS like an angry antelope and make you regret even forming the letters which coalesced into that figment that you remotely propose is a sentence.
 
@Wipqozn I like this process, if only for it's penchant for abuse.
 
I'm just curious what would happen.
Also TIL the Ouya is already on sale.
 
@GraceNote I'd pay to see this.
 
@Wipqozn Apparently, @GraceNote killing you is what would happen.
 
3:33 PM
@Unionhawk Aside from that.
 
@Wipqozn There's a scene in EO4 where you come across a pile of jumbled corpses, where everyone's face is twisted in agony and panic as they even stabbed each other, with hoofmarks the size of one's torso being the impression of the finishing blows.
 
@Wipqozn ...in the most creative manner possible, evidently
 
@Wipqozn So the most work for the least use argument.
 
@JasonBerkan Not at all! We'll learn what happens when you delete a quesiton another question was closed as a duplicate of.
 
This doesn't describe what I'll do to you, but there's particularly horrifying music that plays when that scene is depicted. That would probably be fitting music for the symphony of agony that I wish to bestow upon your core of being.
 
3:34 PM
SCIENCE!
 
@GraceNote Sounds terrifying.
 
@JasonBerkan bitch
 
Wee, a contracting company is sending me a job description that might be perfect for me.
 
teaboy
 
@fbueckert Is the position for someone to be an awesomely fantastic dancer?
 
3:39 PM
somebody who never misses a meeting with a customer?
 
@Wipqozn Hah. I don't think I'd enjoy dancing as much if I did it eight hours a day.
Then again, I might. And I'd get bloody fit in the process.
 
eight hours of dancing is the best workout possible
 
@fbueckert You wouldn't need to deal with stupid clients anymore.
 
@Wipqozn Nope, but I'd have to deal with other problems.
Six of one, half a dozen of another.
 
well I need to go get some poutine.
 
3:41 PM
mmm
I wonder if I can collect all of the required ingredients to make poutine tonight
 
I'll be back eventually. Try not to miss me too much.
 
my gravy is never light enough
2
I will have to use mozza instead as well
 
OH LAWD I LOVE BEING HOME. There are brownies in the oven.
NO YOU CAN NOT STEAL THEM
I KNOW YOU PEOPLE
>.>
<.<
 
do they have any special ingredients?
 
I learned that I don't even need any oil to make bacon. I was so young and naive.
 
3:47 PM
@Unionhawk Poutine is better than brownies.
 
@kalina No.
 
I am now going to have a heart attack
 
@Unionhawk well I'm not interested then!
 
@kalina Good! More for me.
 
@OrigamiRobot Wow, for a robot you're pretty dumb
 
3:48 PM
@fbueckert I'm Commander Kalina and this is my favourite comment on the Bridge
 
Especially when you add in non-standard ingredients like green onions and chili.
 
What is poutine again? I know it's something gross, but I don't remember what's gross about it.
Fries covered in __________
 
@OrigamiRobot It's like, french fries, gravy, and cheese curds. Am I correct?
@canadians?
 
Oh, it's the cheese curds. I remember now.
 
@OrigamiRobot Gravy
 
3:49 PM
Gravy and cheese do not go together.
 
Thing is, though, I can take brownies up with me to school. I cannot take Poutine with me to school. That would be weird at best.
 
Fries and gravy go great together. Just leave it at that.
 
SO NYEH
 
@OrigamiRobot You are missing out, my friend.
 
@OrigamiRobot But it melts together so awesomely!
 
3:50 PM
@fbueckert I live in the south. I know about some gravy.
 
In 2007 the CBC declared the outcome of a viewer survey on the greatest Canadian inventions of all time. Poutine arrived at No. 10, beating, among other items, the electron microscope, the BlackBerry, and the paint roller
 
It looks like a goopy heart attack in a bowl, but damn if it doesn't taste awesome all the same.
 
Brilliant, only in Canada could they classify poutine as a more important invention than the electron microscope
 
@kalina We have to survive in -40 weather. Padding is not as optional as it might otherwise be.
 
@kalina I would imagine americans would put food over technology, if we had ever invented any food.
 
3:52 PM
I had poutine once. It actually worked pretty well.
 
I'm going to have to settle with chips cheese and gravy
 
As it is, Chinese and Mexican food are about as american as you've got.
 
It's pretty much poutine, but won't taste the same
 
On the note of food, I bet Canadians don't even make snow cream.

Q: Where can I find an ATM?

Doozer BlakeWhen I'm holding more than $5,000 cash in game, it tells me to bank my money at an ATM. Where can I find an ATM, I don't see them listed on the map.

 
3:53 PM
@kalina I use mozza when I'm at home, as I don't generally keep cheese curds in the house.
 
if it was just the cheese that would be different it would be fine
but it will be thick gravy, cheddar, and what I guess are steak chips
chips=fries
 
@kalina I was confused initially, then I remembered this...
 
@kalina I've been to the UK. I'm aware of your wrong words.
 
Like "Ew, potato chips instead? That sounds weird"
 
@kalina Chips are chunkier than fries
 
3:54 PM
@fredley yeah
 
@kalina Therefore, by volume, chips > fries
 
Now I want a peanut butter and potato chip sandwich.
 
@OrigamiRobot You are disgusting
 
@fredley for this particular use, I need lots of super skinny fries
 
@Celta Nezeramontias is a mod for diablo 2. Where if you get some (pretty much end game) items you can turn into the act bosses, for example.
 
3:55 PM
So really, fries are the same, chips are analogous to potato wedges then?
 
no not at all
potato wedges are in fact, potato wedges
 
GODDAMMIT I THOUGHT I HAD IT FIGURED OUT
>.>
 
"chips" are "steak fries" as a best comparison
 
chips are steak fries, to my knowledge
dammit @kalina
 
Okay
I think I got this now
 
3:56 PM
inb4
 
Do you have crinkle fries in the UK?
 
yes but they're fatter and called crinkle cut chips
we have curly fries though
and that's like a severe addiction thing going on just there
I'm sure they're coated in cocaine
 
@kalina Mmm... curly fries...
@kalina They are.
Got to be.
 
@kalina fatter?
 
@Arperum I don't think @Celta is here anymore.
 
3:58 PM
@OrigamiRobot longer, thicker, more potato
 
@kalina I can't imagine what a longer thicker version would be like.
Longer, sure.
But thicker than that?
