@OrigamiRobot O_O

OrigamiRobot

@kalina You could join in if you want.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot NO THANKS

Robotsushi

@Sconibulus look at the top 5 players of the highest w/l ration race observe the strategies and orders of strategies they are using.

ratio**

kalina

my new phone is such a good TV remote

OrigamiRobot

You'd have to buy a Wii U

kalina

9:01 PM

I don't like consoles

they're full of casuals that whine until good genres are dumbed down

OrigamiRobot

People whine about everything. You're whining about whiners. I'm whining about you whining about whiners.

7

kalina

you're whining right now

OrigamiRobot

Right, I said that.

SaintWacko

@kalina Amen to that

badp

@Robotsushi I really doubt they always do the same things

SaintWacko

9:03 PM

@Wipqozn What on earth was that?

Robotsushi

@badp no but alot of them are consistant about what build they are using and in what order they are doing them in.

OrigamiRobot

@Robotsushi And we have open questions about build orders.

Wipqozn

@SaintWacko I wanted to upload an image to imugr. Chat is the quickest is.

Sconibulus

I'd think one of the features of being really good would be having a very large bag of tricks

meaning those with the highest win rates would be doing the same thing least often

Robotsushi

yes but there are many variations of cheese builds

OrigamiRobot

9:06 PM

@Wipqozn I usually just edit a post, upload an image, then cancel the edit.

Ullallulloo

@kalina So's PC...

Robotsushi

@Sconibulus If they are cheesing 4 out of 5 games, that's useful information to me. I'm interested in doing some sc2 tournaments, so I'm doing my due diligence on tournaments and pro level play.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot That's a lot of work.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Less work than deleting a message.

StrixVaria

@Sconibulus SC2 is a reactive game. There are builds to start out and having a few options there is important, but the main thing that wins you games at that level is being able to adapt to your opponent pre-emptively. Having 15 different openers isn't as important as having 15 different options to go in the mid-game.

Doing the same thing infrequently tends to be a result of that, I guess, but it's more of a side-effect than a goal.

kalina

9:09 PM

what I hate most about American TV shows

is they build up these massive climaxes at the end of each season

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn imgur.com, paste

kalina

but by the time they've been broadcast over here, the announcement about next season has already started going out

OrigamiRobot

@kalina You don't like massive climaxes?

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria The tab for chat was already opened.

kalina

I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer

StrixVaria

9:11 PM

@kalina So the thing you hate most about our shows is that you can't get at them fast enough?

That sounds more like a thing you hate about your local broadcasting agencies to me.

kalina

its now our broadcasters

its your networks syndication

so in NCIS, they've pulled this whole "Gibbs is going to jail" thing

but Mark Harmon has already renewed for season 11

so seriously..

StrixVaria

I can't watch crime shows.

agent86

someone pinged m- oh it was kalina. >/dev/null

StrixVaria

They're all awful.

kalina

@agent86 how rude

OrigamiRobot

9:13 PM

@StrixVaria Truth.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria The only crime show I enjoy is the original Law and Order.

OrigamiRobot

Unless you consider Dexter a crime show.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot I don't.

kalina

Dexter is a crime show

OrigamiRobot

Good, because Dexter is awesome.

agent86

9:13 PM

Apr 12 at 2:57, by kalina

@agent86 I would say exactly the same to you under the circumstances and you know it

StrixVaria

If Dexter is a crime show, then Adventure Time is a documentary.

agent86

I'm just being consistent!

suuuuuuuue

kalina

@agent86 really? It's like that is it

Wipqozn

agent86

@kalina nope.

I'm just harassing you for entertainment.

so, go entertain me somehow.

kalina

9:14 PM

you need more practice, this isn't harassment

SaintWacko

@Wipqozn Hm, I hadn't thought of that

agent86

mmm, practice harassment.

Robotsushi

@agent86 sweet sweet harassment

StrixVaria

> When you have blade hands, everything starts to look like a pillow.

@SaintWacko ^

Wipqozn

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggggggggh I WANT ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW (cc @AshleyNunn)

OrigamiRobot

9:16 PM

@kalina wants to be harassed! You heard it here first!

2

agent86

isn't that the entire reason for this room?

SaintWacko

@StrixVaria Haha, where did that come from?

agent86

harassing is like... the entire point, I thought. there was even a clickthrough EULA with a "harassment license"

SaintWacko

reading the learndb?

Ben Brocka

What's going on, guys? Harassing people with blade hands? I'm cool with that.

StrixVaria

9:18 PM

@SaintWacko ??blade hands

I was reading about Transmuters.

I might want to try one of those.

agent86

Ben Brocka

@agent86 I love how the cat's just like "Oh, yeah I have those too."

agent86

@BenBrocka unimpressed cat is unimpressed

kalina

@agent86 what are you doing on my pc and why are you stopping me from playing Blizzard games

agent86

@kalina harassment

lern2agent, n00b

Wipqozn

9:23 PM

Also, @AshleyNunn

kalina

@agent86 maybe I really don't want to play WoW again and therefore I'm not trying hard enough to resolve the issue

agent86

@kalina you want to play WoW. once you've played, you can't ever get away from it. it's in your blood. give innnnnnn

SaintWacko

@kalina Don't do it!

You're stronger than it is!

agent86

just think of all the GOLD and RAIDS and MOUNTS and whatever else. I don't know.

loot? I guess?

kalina

I don't need to play WoW

tugs

9:25 PM

DKP!

Ullallulloo

@kalina That's what everyone says.

"I can quit whenever I want!"

kalina

it's fine, I will get through this

I don't need to play WoW

OrigamiRobot

@kalina If you start playing WoW, I'll start playing WoW.

kalina

it's been over 6 months now

OH GOD

deletes everything off hard disk

SaintWacko

@kalina Haha

OrigamiRobot

9:25 PM

See, there ya go.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Instead of playing WoW you should advance further in Moga Village.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn I hate Moga Village.

If it were up to me, that place would be destroyed.

Except the pig.

Ullallulloo

@OrigamiRobot Lagiacrus?

OrigamiRobot

@Ullallulloo No, the other one.

Although, I do hate Lagiacrus.

And all water monsters.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn That will probably need to wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid.

Wipqozn

9:36 PM

@fbueckert You youngsters.

kalina

instead of playing WoW, you should get good at games

ho ho ho

...

OrigamiRobot

I am pretty bad at MH3U.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot You really are.

You should be less greedy.

You also should use your farm more so you always have a full set of mega potions.

StrixVaria

Why does the new gen of pokemon have to look so awesome.

I don't want to have to buy a 3DS.

kalina

no

don't you dare cliffhanger like that!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I hate TV

Wipqozn

9:41 PM

@StrixVaria Do it. Also buy Animal Crossing.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn I do use the farm, I just forget to bring the potions with me.

@Wipqozn And I also use 10 mega potions frequently.

StrixVaria

The battles are rendered in cel-shaded 3d.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Bringing Mega potions would help for that.

StrixVaria

It's not just sprites any more...

Wipqozn

Tanzia Chips are also a worthwhile investment.

OH my.

OrigamiRobot

9:43 PM

@Wipqozn I also have those.

Wipqozn

Getting hit less would help then.

OrigamiRobot

That's the part I have trouble with.

Wipqozn

Be less greedy.

SaintWacko

@StrixVaria So much this

MBraedley

Arg, I hadn't saved my Candy Box game in something like 2 or 3 days when I closed the tab this morning. I feel so far behind now.

Ullallulloo

9:46 PM

@SaintWacko The 3DS is really nice.

SaintWacko

@kalina What show?

Grumpy Lazers

Q: How to get Shadow Ranger achievement?

I'm planning to run the game with Ranger Hardcore Mode, and wonder how should I act to achieve Shadow Ranger achievement? In the description: Complete the game without killing any Humans unless forced to. But how can I recognize when I forced to kill? Maybe I could run to open space, get ...

metro-last-light

kalina

NCIS

SaintWacko

@Ullallulloo I'm sure it is... I'm just not much of a console gamer, handheld or otherwise. I prefer more versatile systems

kalina

Now I have to wait MONTHS on possibly the most fucked up cliffhanger since Dexter's last episode

in fact, I think this is more messed up

SaintWacko

9:47 PM

:944519 Ah, I was like that for Castle's cliffhanger

Wipqozn

@kalina What was the cliffhanger?

Also thought Dexter was over.

kalina

@Wipqozn you don't watch NCIS so it won't make sense to you

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn At least one more season.

kalina

@Wipqozn New Season = End of June

Wipqozn

@kalina Oh, I thought you were talking about Dexter.

OrigamiRobot

9:48 PM

Though I don't know what they're gonna do.

Wipqozn

I know slightly more about Dexter than NCIS.

kalina

the ending of Dexter was messed up

the next season can only result in him getting caught up the writers upping their game to make one of the best seasons of TV ever

OrigamiRobot

Is NCIS the one with that "goth" girl doing forensics?

kalina

yes

OrigamiRobot

Or something like that.

She's a cutie.

Ben Brocka

9:50 PM

I liked that show but I can't watch it again after the two people on one keyboard thing

kalina

@BenBrocka LOL

►

fredley

I watched Amy's Bakery Company

Wow

Ronan Forman

@kalina Dammit I missed that, hopefully I'll catch it later.

Robotsushi

@fredley lol catastrophe

fredley

@Robotsushi Yeah

kalina

9:52 PM

@BenBrocka my favourite was "is that a 12 core?"

OrigamiRobot

STOP IT INTERNET

Ben Brocka

@kalina 12 core procs exist now

kalina

@BenBrocka they didn't at the time, and that scene was stupid

including such awesome lines as "you hold the high score in every MMO"

Ullallulloo

@kalina They might have in the government.

Just not available for consumer sale yet.

kalina

@Ullallulloo you could achieve 12 cores with 2x 6 core on a multiprocessor board

SaintWacko

9:58 PM

@OrigamiRobot d'aww

@kalina How long ago was that? There have been 12 cores for a while. A couple years ago I read about a 16 core desktop

kalina

I don't know, I'm not going to look it up for you either

MBraedley

Anyone have a remedy for headaches besides Tylenol, fluids, and caffeine?

kalina

cocaine

marijuana

knee to the testicles

gunshot to the head

MBraedley

Yeah, none of those are legal enough or safe enough for me to try...

kalina

you're in canada, marijuana is practically legal

Ullallulloo

10:06 PM

@MBraedley The knee is legal.

I highly un-reccommend it though.

Wipqozn

@MBraedley Sleep.

MBraedley

@Ullallulloo but by no means safe.

@Wipqozn I haven't eaten super yet. Or finished watching youtube for the day.

Ullallulloo

@MBraedley Yeah, none of them are safe.

user15026

@wipqozn daaaamn, you are making it sound awesome

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn That's because it iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssss

user15026

10:13 PM

Shush.

Ullallulloo

10:26 PM

@AshleyNunn I have no idea what you're talking about, but @Wipqozn is probably right.

Wipqozn

@Ullallulloo Animal Crossing.

Ullallulloo

@Wipqozn Oh.

user15026

@ullallulloo he is trying to get me to get Animal Crossing

Ullallulloo

That is going to be really awesome.

Wipqozn

@Ullallulloo See? Even @Ullallulloo agrees, and he's a paper clip!

user15026

10:29 PM

Neither of you are human what do you know

Ullallulloo

@AshleyNunn You're like half cat.

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn You should get Animal Crossing.

2

user15026

All of you are terrible

6

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn Thanks. I try.

Also, we're just trying to get you to buy an awesome game.

If you don't, you'll regret it, and you won't be happy!

We just can't stand the thought of an unhappy @AshleyNunn :(

OrigamiRobot

@kalina @fredley Do you watch The Big Fat Quiz of the Year?

kalina

10:35 PM

wow every time I post on meta I attract downvotes

I should just quit the site and delete my account

4

Ullallulloo

@kalina Maybe say better stuff.

kalina

none of you want me here anyway

fredley

@OrigamiRobot I have done

OrigamiRobot

@fredley I love Noel Fielding

fredley

@OrigamiRobot He is a demigod

kalina

10:37 PM

and now another one of you have downvoted me out of spite

OrigamiRobot

@fredley I'm rewatching the ones with him now.

Ben Brocka

Wipqozn

I should make another account so I can down vote @kalina again.

kalina

it's not even funny

Ullallulloo

@kalina Or maybe you drew their attention to it and they disagreed?

Best to assume the worst though. :P

kalina

10:40 PM

nobody could disagree with my wall of text in that little time

Wipqozn

@kalina You're just assuming the down vote was from someone seeing you mention it in chat and then seeking your answer out.

kalina

It may be an assumption

it's based on the obvious truth though

badp

By the way

:jarate:

Demoman (foil)

Ullallulloo

@badp $15?

Ooh, a second Medic!

badp

@Ullallulloo I don't know if I should hope to get a dupe or not.

Ullallulloo

10:44 PM

@badp I just didn't want to sell one if I didn't have another.

It'd probably be better to not get a dupe, but $$$.

Powerlord

I've noticed I still haven't gotten an invite. I wonder what number Valve stopped at.

Ullallulloo

@Powerlord badp and I bought ours.

I bought a lot and resold them.

Fat $$$.

Except I never waited long enough

badp

@Ullallulloo In retrospect I should've done the same.

Bought mine for €.13

now are selling for €1

Ullallulloo

@badp I bought one at $.10 and sold at $.13 and them bought at like $.60 and sold for like $.65.

badp

@Ullallulloo lol

Ullallulloo

10:48 PM

Now they're $1.35.

Ullallulloo

11:06 PM

Now they're up to $1.50...

Still going up...

Fluttershy

I'm still waiting on them to send mine. =(

Ullallulloo

I think I'll just buy what I can and wait a few hours.

22 mins ago, by Ullallulloo

@Powerlord badp and I bought ours.

steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/…

Powerlord

Yeah, I'm not that desperate

Fluttershy

Same.

Powerlord

Also, it sounds like some of the cards you get are dupes.

Fluttershy

11:10 PM

Plus I spent my expendable income on Cloud Atlas.

Powerlord

So, Valve's "half" thing is just plain wrong.

In theory, this also means the drop rate will eventually reset.

Ullallulloo

@Powerlord One card drop will pay for it.

They're going for $1.50 right now.

@Powerlord I think it means you only get a chance to get half of them.

Powerlord

@Ullallulloo By "going for" you mean being listed for. As far as you know, the only people buying them are buying them for the same reason you were buying invites: To resell them at a higher price.
