@Arperum It... doesn't seem to answer the question at all

Grace Note

Hohum.

Arperum

@PrivatePansy And the weirdest part is that it's the asker answering it.

CNN finally understands

Arperum

@BenBrocka That underscore shouldn't be there.

Ben Brocka

2:02 PM

I like the random underscore to make it "computery"

@Arperum computers use underscores, okay

I imagine most CNN anchors still have a DOS 6.0 machine back home

fbueckert

@PrivatePansy It actually does, but only in passing.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum its a semi-common method of indicating it's one word (internetfight) that's been cut off, IIRC.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria That was my favourite part.

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Doesn't a "-" exist for that?

Private Pansy

@KevinvanderVelden So CNN is trying to turn English into German?

Arperum

2:05 PM

@PrivatePansy According to @BenBrocka they are trying to turn English into Computery

Wipqozn

I think I have 6 of my end-game weapons now.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum I think the difference is that a '-' is word continues on the next line while a '_' is word is continued from previous line.

Sconibulus

sling/Ling or "Crackling" - Speedlings (Zerglings with speed, or 'Adrenal Gland', upgrade)

of course, one line out of a whole slew of copypasta isn't so good

Ben Brocka

I really doubt "internetfight" was meant to be one word

Wipqozn

1 light bowgun, 1 heavy bowgun, 2 hunting horns, and 2 lances. I also have another fully upgraded hunting horn which is what I plan on using until I get the A. Lagia one.

underscores, terminal colors/ > prompts and other ancient things are pretty often used on "news" to give that "oh those wacky computer nerds are at it again" feeling

Arperum

I really doubt CNN's ability to do anything really.

5pike

@BenBrocka Especially the ">" sign

Ben Brocka

I'm surprised I've never seen a terminal prompt of something like C:\> http://www.facebook.com as a news screenshot

5pike

@BenBrocka Saw it once, but was a IE URL bar screenshot

Ben Brocka

Load "*", 8, http://facebook.com

@5pike yeah they LOVE URL screenshots. And by screenshot I mean "let me put my camera WAY up close to this low-res CRT monitor"

5pike

2:09 PM

@BenBrocka "and tilt it 20% to the left"

"you know, ARTSY"

Ben Brocka

I imagine if you made a regular newspaper do a video game review, all the screenshots would be images of CRT monitors playing the game, and yeah, with the unnecessary tilt

Arperum

@5pike That's not the camera, that's the screen that has been tilted.

Private Pansy

@5pike +10 points if the CRT monitor has scanlines

5pike

@BenBrocka Depends on the news agency

Ben Brocka

I see "picture of my monitor" on pretty much anything that's not an actual tech news site or "new media" thinger

I wonder how often the CNN guys break apart their computers when someone tells them the files are inside the computer

Grace Note

2:13 PM

@BenBrocka This just makes me think of this.

SaintWacko

Morning, Bridge

Kevin van der Velden

Afternoon @SaintWacko

@SaintWacko Morning

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote That one's great

I love the two clocks

Grace Note

Same

2:15 PM

@GraceNote I like how they're ignoring that he's gaming with his numpad and mouse from the looks of it.

Ben Brocka

That's not even far enough over to be the numpad, I think he's using the insert/home/pg up keys

Grace Note

@KevinvanderVelden Too many things to jab at, too little space to fit it all and not go stale.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Oh hey, Wildstar sub model finally announced.

Grace Note

Though I could mention that FFVII on the PC could be played entirely on the numpad.

Wipqozn

Hammerwatch looks pretty good (cc @GnomeSlice I think)

SaintWacko

2:17 PM

@Wipqozn It is

LessPop_MoreFizz

Standard old school MMO monthly sub, with EVE style ability to buy a month sub that's tradable ingame for ingame currency and/or to buy said subs for ingame currency.

5pike

Seems my question drowned. So here it is again: Regarding Monster Hunter Tri - Does the early-game armor do anything? Feels like it provides little to no benefit whatsoever.
