@LessPop_MoreFizz Because bacon.

That...is a special answer.

@TimStone Sci Fi is a special website.

True

@LessPop_MoreFizz The dumb part isn't that answer. It's at least downvoted. The dumb part is the question has 101 upvotes.

WHY DO I CLICK SCI FI LINKS

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

12:05 AM

@StrixVaria It is your answer to @fae's fondness for needle play.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Wat.

@StrixVaria Schadenfreude?

@LessPop_MoreFizz 101 upvotes T_T

@Sterno No, Schadenfreude is why I put scifi links into this chat for you all to click.

I can't believe that answer is still around.

skyrim

@Sterno That's not what Schadenfreude is though. It's not taking pleasure in the stupidity of others, it's taking pleasure in the misfortune and suffering of others. Such as when I take pleasure in the suffering you experience when you have the misfortune of clicking a link to a question on scifi.se.

12:08 AM

@CakeLazers Sorry, you were beaten to the punch.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Or RB links. Yes.

@Fluttershy Oh hey, I'm pretty sure this is the guy who was trying to run it on his netbook.

@LessPop_MoreFizz In other words, schadenfreude is what motivates trolls.

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz I believe it is.

I look at it as the misfortune of being stupid and not knowing it.

BUT WHATEVER

12:09 AM

@StrixVaria It's part of a complex and fragrant stew of emotions.

Let's focus on the important thing here, which is that SciFi is dumb.

WHY CAN'T THERE BE A CONSTANT STREAM OF NEW NIGHT VALE CONTENT

IF I replace that level.dat_old, the game stops showing up. I should note, this file appears to ...

@Powerlord Meh, it's been sounding like that for two years now.

@FEichinger Vivendi has been trying (unsuccessfully) to sell its share. However, rumor has it that they may appoint new board members and then use them to get Activision Blizzard to give Vivendi a "loan"...

@Powerlord I'm well aware. But Vivendi has tried to get rid of Actizzard to raise funds for ages now. It's just a new tactic.

@Sterno That's kinda special

@AshleyNunn Short bus special.

user15026

2:04 AM

@Wipqozn Extremely short

@BenBrocka I think this is going a lot better than my last attempt. Day 13, 18/30 parts.

Mana

Piiiikmin.

I'm so beyond opposed to this

@Mana Yes. Playing the first one. I never beat it before. I think my last attempt ended somewhere around day 25. I realized I couldn't win in time any stopped.

I can't remember the exact details, but I think I dicked around too much and was refusing to redo days if I did really, really bad. Like losing a lot of pikmin or not getting any parts.

I want to get through at Least Pikmin 1 before Pikmin 2 comes out.

@Ktash omg wat no

user15026

2:11 AM

I have never played Pikmin

user15026

@Ktash hell no

@AshleyNunn I think you would love Pikmin to death.

user15026

@Wipqozn It sounds awesome

user15026

I just suck at actually being able to get a copy

@AshleyNunn They released a Wii version for Pikmin 1 and 2. $20 each.

user15026

2:14 AM

@Wipqozn intriguing

user15026

I have a birthday coming up in a month and a half

Getting your hands on Pikmin 1 would be troublesome I think, but I don't think 2 would be that difficult.

user15026

I suspect I shall ask for them

bestbuy.ca/Search/…

Best buy is selling 2 online, but not 1.

@Wipqozn That's because 1 didn't get re-released as a budget title.

2:15 AM

I could loan you 1 once I finish playing it.

Same for 2 (cube version), but I have no idea when that will be.

user15026

No worries, whenever you can :)

user15026

They just always looked awesome

@AshleyNunn It would be thanks for the poster!

user15026

I am still so happy you liked it

I kept meaning to buy you a little gift and mail it, but then I kept forgetting.

user15026

2:17 AM

oh, no worries! I was just happy someone wanted it

That reminds me, I need to get a Doctor... I haven't had one in a couple years.

My previous Doctor, who was awesome, left to cure cancer and shit.

Stupid doctor. Trying to help millions of people.

user15026

aww

I'll either be able to loan you 2 after I'm done with 1, or sometime after 3 comes out. Just depends if I decide to play 2 right after 1.

So I'll let you know what happens, since I mine as well just send you both at the same time.

@Powerlord IOh, good. I'm not crazy.

I could have sworn Pikmin 1 Wii was $40 when I bought it, not $20.

user15026

Yay :)

I got really, really luicky with Pikmin 2 for cube. local shop was selling it for $20.

Goes for $50+ online.

2:28 AM

@Wipqozn Nice!

I'm really looking forward to Pikmin 3 now.

Well, I'm going to bed. Stay classy Bridge.

puts on sunglasses Oh, we will. G'night.

@Ktash Every game is better with lightsabers

@Sterno false

also Domino's delivers to my new place! YES!

Lightsabers are the bacon of video games.

2:36 AM

@Ktash Evidence to support your claim?

►

@Ktash The only thing that could make this better is if the song were the Star Wars Gangsta Rap.

I only skimmed that video, but I didn't see any lightsabers.

Secondly, assuming the base content is bad, lightsabers make it better.

►

clearly, if those stormtroopers were waving around lightsabers while they danced, the overall quality would improve

Let's be clear. I'm not saying lightsabers automatically make a game good. Just better.

2:39 AM

A Jedi's gotta do what a Jedi's gotta do.

user15026

@Krazer That looks kinda not good

@Ktash Okay, at 2:50 you can clearly see a lightsaber attached to the guy's belt. He's not even in the videogame and it still makes it more awesome.

Now I'm going to dream of a Star Wars dance-off.

Best night ever.

@Sterno you should at least include Leia in that dream

That's clearly a Twi'lek, not Leia.

2:47 AM

@StrixVaria Jump to halfway through

Also, Star Wars dance off

And the fact that that is an official Disney attraction solidifies my confidence that Disney will destroy Star Wars at least as bad as George Lucas

the expanded universe is done for!

seriously did every movie star ever make an appearance in Freaks and Geeks?

One of my more persistent pet peeves: Local game shops buying old, rare, games, and pricing them at twice of what eBay sells them for.

Time for bed methinks

user15026

@fbueckert Eergh, thats sucky

@AshleyNunn Yeah.

Finding people willing to sell them for reasonable prices is almost impossible.

user15026

@fbueckert pretty much

3:48 AM

So I just have to be patient, and buy them as I find them on Kijiji.

@fbueckert What class did you pick?

@OrigamiRobot Commando

user15026

@fbueckert what are you trying to find?

@AshleyNunn Nothing in particular. Just rare games as I find them.

user15026

4:01 AM

@spugsley That is beautiful

@AshleyNunn sometimes I have a concept in my head and it seems weird/dumb and I just do it because it calls to me....and that, what she said, is like every reason ever I started to create art

@spugsley I love it. It shows that art has the power to touch and free people in ways we cant even imagine

@AshleyNunn yeah definitely

user15026

......someone correct me if I am wrong, but what we know as SMB2 ISNT Lost Levels, right?

user15026

because I ant to nkow if I was right to yell at my book and throw it across the room

4:15 AM

By book, do you mean real, paper-based reading material? If not, this may explain your eReader situation.

user15026

@TimStone No, actual hardcover. Not my e-reader

murgatroid99

@AshleyNunn The SMB2 in Japan was Lost Levels. The SMB2 in America was a different game based on Doki Doki Panic

Okay, just making sure. :P

user15026

@murgatroid99 Thats what I thought! Stupid book, its supposed to be about the history of NIntendo but this dude did not fact check

Also, the filling of birthday cake oreos has a weird texture and it is the only time I suggest not peeling the cookies apart to eat the filling first

@AshleyNunn birthday cake Oreos?! I need to know more!!!

user15026

@Krazer They were for Oreo's 100th anniversary, now they are just "limited edition" and I find them in pretty random places. Take a regular oreo, and replace the filling with something vanilla cake tasting with sprinkles in - it has a weird kinda marshmallowy texture sorta, but if you eat it all together it is pretty good

@AshleyNunn oh mai gawd. why have I only just learned of this?

user15026

@Krazer They were really not all that well promo'd

user15026

but if you can find them you should totally try them

5:26 AM

they come in vanilla too?!

holy shit this stuff is expensive!

amazon.com/Oreo-100th-Birthday-Cake-Cookies/dp/B0077MS56U

user15026

These cost me $5 for one pack, so yeah, those cost a bit more

user15026

That is twice what i got, though

I actually expected this:

@Krazer grabbyhands

user15026

5:54 AM

Man, I wish I knew of a place that did like...just fancy desserts, nothing else - like tapas but desserty

whoa dessert tapas that's an idea there

user15026

I know, right?

user15026

I mean part of it is just me being sad and thus craving dessert but come on, tiny little endless plates of pretty little dessert nibbles would be the most awesome

6:13 AM

mmmm

user15026

Maybe if my other stuff doesnt work out (like the cupcake and cereal bus) I will have a tiny little tapas bar that is desserts

@Blem Your map is not completely acurrate.

Half of Belgium uses "Bier", and the other halfd uses the mentioned "Bière"

But it is Belgium, so no one cares, staying out of there anyway

James

@Krazer nevermind :) tamarajensen.typepad.com/photos/tamaras_favorite_recipes/…

@Blem Any specific reason for staying out of here?

8:11 AM

Belgium is the only country in EU who have outsourced there control of AGES values to a private firm, and people get screwed over by it when tere is a problem with the data

What is this AGES? Having things screwed over is not uncommon here no.

We have way to many governements and they aren't communicating perfectly between each other.

Martin Sojka

Swiss also uses "Bier", "Biera", "Gervosa" or "Bière", depending on which part of the country you're in.

@Blem In Ukrainian pronunciation given little wrong. There reads like a Russian "ы" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yery

a danish online site is having summer sale on games gamers-shop.dk/summer-sale

(Govts we have: 1 federal, 3 language area specific ones, 3 slightly different region specific ones (of wich one is merged with one of the language specific ones)

And then the city govts and the 10 province thingys, but the province thingys have nearly no influence AFAIK

@Flabricorn Macbooks ain't laptops. They're clumps of plastic. Shiny clumps of plastic, mind you, but still clumps of plastic.

8:48 AM

@tombull89 Yeah. Macbook suffered minor drop, maybe a couple of feet. Put it down on my desk this morning and it rocked, all four corners wouldn't sit on the ground and the lid wouldn't close properly (wish I'd taken a picture)

Just applied pressure and it bent back, all fine now

@Arperum Well, the official reason for it being disabled in the first place is that it would be a strain on the database. Hence why it's on-demand only.

@FEichinger I'd still continue to use Windows as my main OS, but I think I couldn't use anything but Mac hardware having experienced it.

Why can nobody else build a laptop with a magnetic power connector? Is it that hard? It's not like anybody gives two shits about patents.

tombull89

@fredley Apple would likely sue

> It's not like anybody gives two shits about patents.

@tombull89 Every hardware feature has been copied, recopied and copied again over and over

@fredley ... Which is just plain wrong. It's the large companies in particular that care about patents.

tombull89

8:51 AM

@fredley Yes, but this is Apple. They'll send their crack team of lawyers after you if you even look at them funny.

2

@fredley Yes, and Apples sues the fuck out of them.

Whether or not the patents are valid is a whole different story.

FFS

Anyway the point remains, Apple build very very nice laptops, and if I replace my main machine any time soon I'd probably buy Apple and run Windows.

Why anyone would run Windows on Apple hardware is beyond me.
