It's not a big deal what people choose to do outside of the site, at least in this case it certainly is not.

@Fluttershy I read that as "the Jamaican rum is cheaper where I live"... Even so, that doesn't make the "evidence" any less crap

FEichinger

At any rate, it doesn't really matter, what he wrote only barely even implied something illicit. He's a Google-Fu master whenever it could get him rep, so I wouldn't even be surprised if that's what he did.

Fluttershy

Oh hey. You're right! I totally misread it. Still, the evidence is crap.

Mana

I see no reason to haggle the guy over this. Can we move on past this topic?

Shiester

I wish I could get paid to eat pringles and dick around on the internet all day.

Mana

9:01 PM

@Shiester :( huh?

Yuki

@Shiester You and a million other people.

OrigamiRobot

@Mana There's only one person hassling and the rest are saying "Who cares?"

Yuki

Well, some may differ on the pringles part.

Fluttershy

@Mana We're not discussing the legality of YGs off-site activities. We're pointing out why Retrosaur was wrong! =P

@JasonBerkan This won't ping me any more.

Shiester

well its 4PM, better clock out so I can go get what im ENTITLED to.

FEichinger

@MichaelDunfield Still gets your attention.

Mana

I am aware of who is saying what. What I am saying is that we should change the subject.

Yuki

@JasonBerkan @MichaelDunfield's dad has got it going on?

Unionhawk

@MichaelDunfield Blame @Sterno.

Mana

9:02 PM

@Yuki GOT IT GOING OOOON

Michael Dunfield

@FEichinger Not if I'm not actively looking at chat.

FEichinger

@MichaelDunfield But you are.

Michael Dunfield

@FEichinger Just now, yes.

I didn't see it last time it was posted.

Jason Berkan

@MichaelDunfield I know. Just showing @Mana that we were trying to not talk about what he doesn't want us to talk about.

FEichinger

@MichaelDunfield Irrelevant. You did see it this time.

Michael Dunfield

9:03 PM

@FEichinger Okay.

@Mana can you change my name

Mana

@MichaelDunfield I guess you're worried about google results turning up this chat?

Michael Dunfield

@Mana I dunno. Not really. Maybe actually.

I don't plan on saying anything bad though.

FEichinger

Just a reminder: The transcript does not retroactively change the name.

Blem

whats up with the name change @gnome?

Fluttershy

Welp, I'm gonna go see what I can do to make three hours go by faster. Later all.

Mana

9:05 PM

thank you for the reminder

Michael Dunfield

@Fluttershy Outer Wilds!

Shiester

Can someone recommend me a good spooky game? I want something that'll scare the pants off of me but all I can seem to find is this:

Q: Why can't I reinstall GTA IV?

Grand theft auto IV was part of a bundle that i bought on Amazon.com it contained Grand theft auto Episodes From Liberty City. Episodes From Liberty City works fine but Grand theft auto IV doesn't. How can I fix this and what can you guys do to help?

Q: How can I copy all Replays in the Sc2gears folder?

I started using Sc2gears to analyse my replays. the naming in the replay folder is /D-</p(/r-/B-/W)>-/n./e which results for example in 2013-09-03 22-21-28-Player1name(T-B-N) vs Rubo77(Z-U-N)-Polar Night LE (5).SC2Replay Now I would like to rename all my existing replays in the same manner, but...

Powerlord

@Yuki If you want to be sarcastic, just forget it. :(

(I couldn't find a better way to use that pun)

FEichinger

@Powerlord No. Just, no.

Yuki

@Powerlord Took me a second to see what you were getting at.

Powerlord

Also, there are two Amnesia games now.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs came out a few weeks ago

Yuki

@Powerlord Well, yeah. I hear either is good.

Michael Dunfield

9:09 PM

@Shiester Also, (when it comes out), I recommend Darkwood

Powerlord

Although Wikipedia seems to think Machine for Pigs isn't out yet

Mana

@Powerlord I thought it was out in October?

Powerlord

Oh... it's currently out for pre-order and launches in roughly 6 days.

Michael Dunfield

Is amnesia the one that played like google street view?

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice Surely, you've played Amnesia: The Dark Descent, right?

Michael Dunfield

9:11 PM

@Powerlord I forget.

Which one am I thinking of.

Mana

@MichaelDunfield it has nothing to do with Street View.

Michael Dunfield

That played like Google Street View

and has all kinds of trippy shit happening

Yeah I haven't played Amnesia

Ben Brocka

Oh god the pikmin have acquired a taste for flesh, run

Yuki

@BenBrocka I need to finish Pikmin 3...

FEichinger

@BenBrocka Well, are they actually eating the flesh?

Ben Brocka

9:13 PM

@Yuki Yes you do

Yuki

I'm on the last stage and I can't bring myself to finish it.

Michael Dunfield

►

Yuki

I've... noticed a pattern with my gaming.

Ben Brocka

@FEichinger The red ones seem to be thinking about it

StrixVaria

@agent86 is a cool guy.

FEichinger

9:13 PM

@BenBrocka Or they want to lift it to flip it.

Yuki

I tend to get right to the end of a game and then not finish it.

Ben Brocka

@Yuki Just because you don't want to finish it or are you having trouble with it?

FEichinger

Or something like that.

Yuki

@BenBrocka I'm not having trouble. I think I just have a pathological aversion to finishing games.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria eh posts on meta and doesn't afraid of anything

StrixVaria

9:14 PM

@OrigamiRobot what a bamf

Yuki

Come to think of it, I think my Dragon's Dogma character is just about ready to take on the Ur-Dragon.

Ben Brocka

@Yuki The end boss is pretty fun, but hard (at least very hard to not lose pikmin on)

Yuki

HOW I EVERYTHING OUT? And by "EVERYTHING", I mean "MY PATHOLOGICAL AVERSION TO FINISHING GAMES".

Wipqozn

Oh fuck. First Terror mission. The first one is always the worst.

Ben Brocka

Fuck terror missions

Michael Dunfield

9:16 PM

@Shiester Any of those helpful?

Yuki

@Wipqozn F--- terror missions.

FEichinger

@BenBrocka So much. So friggin much.

Yuki

F--- 'em.

StrixVaria

I never finished XCOM because an Ethereal mind controlled my sniper and doubletapped my heavy that I'd had since the first mission. Crit, crit.

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn But also has the least amount of Chryssalids.

Wipqozn

9:17 PM

@JasonBerkan True.

Yuki

@StrixVaria Jeez, Ethereals have that kind of range on their mind control?

Wipqozn

I'm actually in a good spot.

Yuki

Or did your Sniper not have Squadsight?

StrixVaria

@JasonBerkan But also the least equipped to deal with them :P

Wipqozn

3 of my 6 units have laser rifles, and 4 have carapace armor. The 2 that don't are snipers, so they (hopefully* won't need it.

StrixVaria

9:18 PM

@Yuki It was a map I'd never seen before and poor positioning on my part.

Yuki

@StrixVaria Yeah, that sucks.

StrixVaria

It was my fault that it was able to happen, but it still happened and it was still crushing.

Jason Berkan

@StrixVaria You should have a rocket plus a grenade.

Ben Brocka

I think I have new Xcom on PS3 thanks to PS+...I've still only played the originals

agent86

@StrixVaria Say my name. ... agent86... You're goddamn right.

Ben Brocka

9:19 PM

And by played I mean I got a bit in and then quit

The 3rd? one I never even figured out WTF I was doing in

Yuki

Should I run a team with two Snipers? One with Squadsight and one with the "move and still be able to overwatch/snipe".

StrixVaria

@Yuki Or both with squadsight.

Jason Berkan

@Yuki Yes and no. Both should have Squadsight.

Michael Dunfield

Hey guys, how would you feel about trying to do another gaming tournament?

Yuki

There are so many occasions where I wish that my Sniper went with the other ability.

@MichaelDunfield What game?

Michael Dunfield

9:20 PM

I know the Frozen Synapse one failed a lot.

@Yuki Dunno yet.

StrixVaria

@MichaelDunfield Is it going to take over 2 years and never finish like the Frozen Synapse one?

Michael Dunfield

@StrixVaria Hopefully not.

I am sad that didn't get finished.

I put a lot of work into it.

Wipqozn

The problem was we weren't strict enough at disqualifying people if they never finished.

Also, @FAE and ARda kept having technical issues which mad eus not want to kick one.

Yuki

I'd be up for doing 5v5 matches of TF2.

Ben Brocka

Is there a polite way to tell a girl on Twitter her black and white pic of her and her boyfriend make them look like something out of Silent Hill?

Yuki

9:21 PM

@BenBrocka "That s--- be scary, yo!"

StrixVaria

I'm trying to think of a competitive game I'd want to play against people here.

Michael Dunfield

@StrixVaria Gun Monkeys?

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka "That looks like something out of silent Hill. I think your boyfriend is going to kill you in your sleep."

StrixVaria

@MichaelDunfield Nope.

Michael Dunfield

@StrixVaria Have you played it?

StrixVaria

9:22 PM

@MichaelDunfield I've seen a "what's this game?" style video of it.

Wipqozn

Also

Michael Dunfield

I would give you a key for it, but I posted my only spare one in here and someone took it without acknowledging who they were

Wipqozn

If we DID do another one, it shouldn't be one where we have all the turns taking place at different times.

Michael Dunfield

and you only get one now, and not three, for idling

Unionhawk

@Yuki 6v6 and 9v9 are the more standard formats for TF2...

Wipqozn

9:22 PM

Make poeple do their matches on in one sitting.

and reduce the time people have for a match

Michael Dunfield

@Wipqozn Yeah, I guess.

Wipqozn

One week per round or something.

Michael Dunfield

What about Toribash?

Wipqozn

To account for the fact we all live in different parts of the world

Michael Dunfield

@StrixVaria It's excellent.

StrixVaria

9:23 PM

@MichaelDunfield Not interested.

Yuki

@Unionhawk I'm not sure if we'd have enough to do 6v6 or more and I though 4v4 was too small.

StrixVaria

We should do a Dominion tournament.

Michael Dunfield

@StrixVaria I don't know what that is

Yuki

Something that uses asynchronous multiplayer would also be a good option.

StrixVaria

@Yuki This is part of what lead to Frozen Synapse failing.

Michael Dunfield

9:24 PM

What about atWar?

Yuki

But there aren't many non-Facebook games like that out there...

Michael Dunfield

@Yuki Frozen Synapse, atWar... uh... yeah not much else comes to mind

Unionhawk

@Yuki True. Maybe 1 less scout, I guess

StrixVaria

@MichaelDunfield Is this just virtual Risk?

Because Risk is a terrible game.

Jason Berkan

I play Hero Academy, but I don't think anyone else does.

Yuki

9:25 PM

It should be something moderately popular and/or cheap.

Michael Dunfield

@StrixVaria No.

@StrixVaria I've only played Risk once. It was okay I guess. I like atWar a lot though.

Yuki

So we'd have a good player-base to draw from or it wouldn't be expensive to join up.

Michael Dunfield

And I don't usually like strategy games.

also it's free

StrixVaria

I'm really picky when it comes to competitive turn-based strategy games.

Dominion is really good.

Michael Dunfield

Also we could try Gear Up

Although if we were going to do that we might as well just all play at once.

It's a lot of fun

Plus it's got a free version on Steam

Ben Brocka

9:26 PM

I don't have many suggestions, don't play too many competitive-esque games

Michael Dunfield

Gun Monkeys would be really cool, but I don't think a lot of you have it.

Ben Brocka

closest thing to one I've played lately would probably be Skullgirls

Michael Dunfield

Although if someone else bought it, you can get a free steam key by idling in an empty lobby for a bit. And then the friend could get one too.

How about Toribash?

Ben Brocka

Oh that's that game that does that? I thought that was a cool idea

Michael Dunfield

►

@BenBrocka Yeah. You used to get three, now you just get one. Someone took mine =[

Wipqozn

9:28 PM

my soldier just used the phrase "Dead as disco"

Michael Dunfield

Oh yeah, I am in this video.

I forgot.

You might even get to hear me shout.

Ben Brocka

Haven't heard of toribash

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka ooo it's so good. Just got greenlit too, although it's free.

I'm the green dude in that video.

Ben Brocka

I did'nt know greenlight even did free games

aside from F2P of course

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka Reprisal got greenlit too.

ToxicFrog

9:31 PM

A turn-based fighting game? I am intruiged.

Michael Dunfield

@ToxicFrog It's amazing.

And very hard to play well.

ToxicFrog

Michael Dunfield

toribash.com

►

I would be up for a Toribash tournament.

Plus it's not asynchronous.

badp

@OrigamiRobot Looks almost right when you take it out of context. Not so much when you include the entirety: If a "pre-release" question about a game can be asked and answered without speculation because an alpha/beta/early version exists, regardless of the number of people who are/could be in possession of said game, it should be left open. Nevermind that of course an alpha version of the game existed at that point- alpha releases are generally internal. — Decency 3 hours ago

Sigh.

Ben Brocka

I'd suggest a skullgirls tournament but I'd probably just win

Michael Dunfield

9:34 PM

@BenBrocka No

My beta copy vanished from my steam library too

Ben Brocka

You kids and your MOBAs

badp

@BenBrocka Coin filpping tourney

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka Oh, we should play Airmech!

Ben Brocka

@MichaelDunfield Yeah the ones they handed out like candy aren't forever, only people that paid get the beta now

Michael Dunfield

►

It's been a long time since I've played this. I should give it another go.

badp

9:35 PM

We flip coins and then we argue for 45 minutes about which of the two coins gets to be closed as a duplicate of the other

Michael Dunfield

Free to play on Steam.

ToxicFrog

Last time I played Airmech it was incredibly monotonous

Also, toribash is synchronous? Booo.

Michael Dunfield

@ToxicFrog Yeah I did most of my playing in the pre alpha state.

Ben Brocka

@badp I vote to close the GBP as too localized

Michael Dunfield

@ToxicFrog Like you have to be in the game yeah. You only get a certain amount of time to make your moves

Games only last a few minutes

badp

9:36 PM

"You flipped it before we said go!" "Well you should've deleted the coin then! My coin's totally legit." "Your coin is dumb." "Your face is dumb." etc. etc. etc.

Michael Dunfield

OOO what about rooks keep?

Except... you guys would all have to buy it

ToxicFrog

Aah, if they're that fast, then ok

I was thinking something more like Frozen Synapse

@fbueckert I like this plan it is a good plan lets use this plan

user15026

@BenBrocka I will lose. Terribly. Over and over.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Hopefully you manage to hug the correct people.

ToxicFrog

@AshleyNunn hell yes spellcast

user15026

@fbueckert Not my fault that @Fluttershy doesnt like my hugs

user15026

@ToxicFrog :D :D :D

ToxicFrog

9:40 PM

I still need to write a web version

user15026

@ToxicFrog Yes you do!

ToxicFrog

I would offer to play right now but I'm on the bus and the connection is kind of flaky

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn I could help teach you to lose slightly less

user15026

@BenBrocka oooooh that could be fun

ToxicFrog

@BenBrocka @AshleyNunn also, I note that spellcast scales to >2 players - you can have 3-way or even more-way spellcast games :D

user15026

9:41 PM

@ToxicFrog Yes! I remember you telling me that when you first explained it to me!

user15026

Seriously guys this game is good we should all play it and kill each other

user15026

(not that we have a way to really do that right now, do we?)

badp

@AshleyNunn We can just shoot words at each other

Wipqozn

that went well

11/18 saves, no deaths.

And Only one guy got serously wounded.

ToxicFrog

@AshleyNunn well, people can just download wxspellcast and use that for now

Wipqozn

9:43 PM

oh, he's just wounded. Excellent.

user15026

@ToxicFrog yay!

ToxicFrog

I'm pretty sure that's what the two of us were using before anyways

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn Nice. I'm too much of a gamer. Once I learned the game cared not about the number of civilians I saved, I stopped saving civilians.

ToxicFrog

And someday I will finally have time to implement SCBW

user15026

Yeah, it s what we were using

user15026

9:43 PM

@ToxicFrog curious headtilt

ToxicFrog

Spellcast By Web

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan I was wondering if the game cared aout that at all.

I assumed it would, but my experience told me otherwise.

fbueckert

Ok, time to start up Afterlight and see what hijinks you guys get up to.

Wipqozn

hmm. Should I give my second support Revive or Rifle Supression?

user15026

@fbueckert impatient excitement

Jason Berkan

9:44 PM

@Wipqozn It cares about any 2 out of the 3 categories. So, if you have a bunch of soldiers die, you better save a lot of civilians.

Wipqozn

My other support has revive. It's really useful, but supression si good too.

Jason Berkan

I often run one of both.

fbueckert

First up: Research Medicine, so @Yuki doesn't have to resort to shooting to heal people.

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan Yeah, I'm going to do the same.

One revive is all I really need. And rifle supression is really usefu l too.

ToxicFrog

Anyways. I recommend everyone play Spellcast and post the logs :P

Ok, well, I don't really have many weapons right off the bat, so everybody gets something, but nowhere near what they want.

Yuki

@Wipqozn I honestly don't have many opportunities to use Revive.

fbueckert

@Gnome gets a Buzzsaw.

Yuki

It's probably more important in higher difficulties though.

Wipqozn

@Yuki I like having it jst in case.

Having two is redunant though.

Sometimes losing that one guy can really throw everything to hell.

Revive is great for those situations.

Yuki

9:51 PM

@Wipqozn Do you use shotguns? The damage is nice, but I'm very reluctant to use a weapon that requires you to get so close...

Michael Dunfield

@fbueckert Wheeee

fbueckert

And I will start manufacturing some dynamite so that @SaintWacko can actually blow stuff up.

Jason Berkan

@Yuki I actually use Suppression more at higher difficulties, since you are loathe to move for a better shot.

And every freaking alien has near perfect aim.

Wipqozn

@Yuki NOt really.

Michael Dunfield

Ugh I really want to finish this tonight but my focus is completely gone

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn Ouch. No chance to rush to the Alien Base Assault?

Yuki

@Wipqozn It's okay, we Chinese will probably outbreed the aliens in any case.

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan I'm pretty fucked. This is one thing I really dislike about this game.

I've done everything right, but I'm still going to lose a bunch just because of the way Panic works.

fbueckert

Oh, boy! Ran into little grey men! The same ones that transported us to Mars to begin with.

Wipqozn

9:55 PM

The only way to avoid losing all of Asia is likely to result in me losing most of Europe.

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn The entire strategic portion of the new game is mediocre, at best.

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan YEah.

Yuki

@Wipqozn Well, if you have the continent bonuses for both, I'd have to sacrifice most of Europe so you can keep both of the bonuses.

If that's how it works.

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn Where is your base? You can always sacrifice the continent your base is in, because you already have the bonus.

Wipqozn

The fact that ignoring an abduction increases panic in the entire contientent but completing it only decreases it in the one nation is stupid.

Yuki

9:57 PM

Really wish you had more ways of decreasing panic than just completing missions and sending satellites.

Wipqozn

It doesn't make sense that the panic wouldn't change in both cases. IT's just stupid.

@JasonBerkan Africa.

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn So, no luck there.

Wipqozn

Nope.

It's just the europe and asia are in rough shape. The rest of the world is fine.

well, I'm going to save Europe.

There's no way for my get the asia bonus
