4:00 PM

@FAE We have a contract with a secure document shredding company. It'd be impractical to do that ourselves, given the cost of a secure shredder and the small amount of paper we shred.

Origami Robot

@Yuuki Hey, corporate espionage is a real thing.

Powerlord

@Unionhawk Well, this office does write the software that the state government of Michigan uses to edit its maps, which are in turn used by a number of internal and external systems.

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot ... Not sure why that message questioned the existence of corporate espionage, but okay.

Unionhawk

So basically what you're saying is you could theoretically delete the state of Michigan

Powerlord

...and technically, the PSAP locations are classified as they tell you where 911 call centers are located and what regions they cover.

FAE

4:01 PM

@Unionhawk Sweeeeeeeeet.

I mean...

Origami Robot

@Yuuki I'm saying it doesn't have to be "super-secret government" work to require shredding and confidentiality.

Powerlord

@Unionhawk Well, I'm sure we have backups, so I'd have to toast those too.

Unionhawk

Wait, but then Cleveland wouldn't be able to say "at least we're not Detroit!", and Ohio would become the new worst. Dangit!

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Still Cleveland!

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, any client relationship works this way. I'm forbidden from having any client data on my work computer.

Origami Robot

4:04 PM

@Unionhawk Cleveland is so bad. I've only passed through there a couple times, but ugh.

All you see is closed businesses.

Powerlord

@Unionhawk Cleveland rocks!

MBraedley

ARG! The accountant already extended the charge code I'm trying to use! Just let me approve the fucking timesheet!

Unionhawk

This is why I avoid northern ohio whenever I can.

FAE

@Unionhawk Ugh, yeah, Cleveland. Uuuuugh, Cleveland.

Unionhawk

Which, these days, is always.

Origami Robot

4:05 PM

Sometimes we go to the zoo there.

It's pretty small.

MBraedley

This is another problem with this timesheet software; it doesn't raise warnings at an appropriate time, but instead emails me after I've logged out to tell me something was wrong.

Origami Robot

@MBraedley Sometimes I miss just having an actual time clock.

MBraedley

@OrigamiRobot A time clock doesn't let me charge to different projects. At least not easily.

Origami Robot

@MBraedley I know, that's what I miss. Not having to keep up with that.

FAE

@Unionhawk Good friend of mine lives a bit outside of Chardon so whenever I go see him, if I take the bus or plane, I have to go into Cleveland. Bleeeeegh.

Q: Will Halo 3 players in the Master Chief Collection on xbox one be able to play with xbox 360 Halo 3 players?

I know it's still two months away, but I'm wondering if the 360 version and xbox one version of Halo 3 will be compatible. Have there been any announcements?

Yuuki

So I just got my pre-order for MH4U.

Now I can't wait 'til March.

user15026

Nintendo announced the second pile of eshop sales in their Super Smash promo thing, there is some good stuff here.

MBraedley

@Lazers Close, we don't have a crystal ball

KernelPanic

Do you have to play the other Fire Emblem games before Awakening? if not I'll probably pick it up.

user15026

@MBraedley That would be so handy though

user15026

4:16 PM

@KernelPanic I've never played a FE game and I liked Awakening

5pike

@KernelPanic Nah, you don't really need to have played the others.

Jason Berkan

@AshleyNunn And "my son" is purchasing a 3DS tomorrow. Sweet.

KernelPanic

@JasonBerkan The new 3DS is coming out soon-ish too.

user15026

@JasonBerkan Awesome!

user15026

@KernelPanic Nintendo has said it won't hit NA this year

KernelPanic

4:18 PM

@AshleyNunn It isn't? ah well. As long as Omega/Ruby work fine on my XL I'll be happy.

Won't they just be stretching pixels on the new 3DS model too? like on the XL.

user15026

Not a clue.

5pike

@KernelPanic I doubt that it will only work on the new model, but there will definitely be a bundle.

KernelPanic

Apparently there's going to be sequel to Five Nights at Freddy's.

Origami Robot

4:23 PM

@Batophobia DAT. ART.

Who says dragon bones can't be artifacts?

murgatroid99

@Batophobia You never know. It might be a creature from Mirrodin

Batophobia

...makes me think the card should read "murder target Dragon"

@murgatroid99 Doesnt look metal though

Origami Robot

Artifact doesn't have to mean metal.

murgatroid99

@Batophobia That's probably because it's covered by grass

Batophobia

MtG should replace "Destroy target" with "Murder"

murgatroid99

4:25 PM

@Batophobia No

NoneOfYourBusiness

Does anyone here play "Remember Me"?

Batophobia

@NoneOfYourBusiness If it's the one I'm thinking of, I played it

Origami Robot

NoneOfYourBusiness

@Batophobia Because I am at the beginning, where you lose your health and have to do a combo with a health modifier. But it does not explain how to initiate that 5 step combo so I cannot regenerate

Batophobia

The options under the + category are for healing

I think it's orange

So when you perform those combos it also heals

NoneOfYourBusiness

4:30 PM

maybe I should switch to gamepad

@NoneOfYourBusiness You should have unlocked a 5-combo

Frank

I can't tell if this is a serious answer or not

I'm leaning towards rant, but it's really tough to tell.

Batophobia

Maybe you haven't progressed into the game enough?

FAE

@Frank Agreed.

Kevin van der Velden

4:35 PM

@FAE fancy! I went for the first time a few weeks ago :D. Those stores are just weird

Frank

I hit up IKEA for the first time a few weeks ago. It's got an interesting setup.

murgatroid99

@Frank I don't think it qualifies as NAA, because it seems to be answering the question. It just also contains a rant. I'd say just downvote and move on

FAE

@KevinvanderVelden Haha, yeah. I never went to a lot of wholesale places in the US. Jochem's mom has a pass, so she lent it to her mom and I went with Jochem's grandma today to roam around a bit. The little restaurant they had was quite nice too.

Batophobia

@murgatroid99 Or edit out the rant and move on

user15026

@Frank I find IKEA overwhelming. Although I know they do that on purpose.

Kevin van der Velden

4:36 PM

I've never been in their little restaurant thing

Frank

Also, I just stopped playing Metroid Prime 2.

Kevin van der Velden

Two of my friends have passes (or, 1 has a pas, the other can get one I believe).

Frank

I'm currently conditioned to stay in the little light zones.

murgatroid99

@Batophobia The rant is close enough to relevant to the question that I'm not sure about that

GnomeSlice

@Frank Our city has one of the biggest IKEA's in the country. It's the big IKEA Concept Center.

GnomeSlice

They finished it like a year ago

FAE

@KevinvanderVelden You can go with a max of 2 people on one pass, pashouder+gast

Kevin van der Velden

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE yeah, but you can sign a piece of paper saying person N has permission to use my pass at date and you can just lend it out

Chippies

@GnomeSlice I wish we had IKEA over here

FAE

@KevinvanderVelden Oooh okay

Frank

@FAE Wow. If that's bigger than ours, than that's huge.

NoneOfYourBusiness

@Batophobia Solved the issue. it does not show the button ti initate said combo. Had to plug in a controller. Now it shows that I have to initiate the 5 step heal combo with Y and the 3 step combo with X. Typical sign of a bad port.

Frank

4:40 PM

@NoneOfYourBusiness You're using such language in a place where people are, and do have feelings.

That was silly grammar.

Batophobia

@Frank The Bridge has feelings?

GnomeSlice

@Chippies huehuehue

FAE

@Frank It's very big for Dutch purposes.

Frank

@Batophobia Me + words = splat.

FAE

> Most of IKEA's operations, including the management of the majority of its stores, the design and manufacture of its furniture, and purchasing and supply functions are overseen by INGKA Holding, a private, for-profit Dutch company

^ @Kevin I had no idea about this o_O

Frank

4:42 PM

I'm doing it because you're using inflammatory language.

I'm actually being nice about it.

FAE

@NoneOfYourBusiness I found it uncomfortable language to be used as well.

NoneOfYourBusiness

@Frank You make it sound like a threat

Frank

@NoneOfYourBusiness It sorta is. Based on your attitude, I don't want you here.

All I was doing is asking nicely for you to tone it down. That's it.

FEichinger

yawn

And good bye.

Origami Robot

Wow, that was gone fast.

Frank

4:44 PM

And I had nothing to do with that whatsoever.

Batophobia

Dang, the show was just getting good

Frank

Although, I was about to flag, so, meh. Whatever.

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot Diamond power.

Origami Robot

I didn't even have time to do anything!

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE it's technically for businesses only, it's written out to a name and a company. But sometimes the person who it's written to can't go for whatever so they allow that.

Putting snacks in my desk was a great idea

Origami Robot

4:48 PM

@Batophobia I too have snacks at my desk.

Kevin van der Velden

Hmm, I wonder how long it'll take for a meta post to appear about this grave injustice

Frank

I only have snacks at my home desk. :(

Batophobia

Past me was a genious

Frank

I should really buy a case of chocolate bars to put into my desk at work.

Kevin van der Velden

@Batophobia well yeah, you should put snacks in your mouth, not in your desk.

Origami Robot

4:49 PM

I also pay frequent visits to other people with snacks at their desks.

5pike

@KevinvanderVelden Well, calling someone a d*** and then getting banned is not really what I would call unjust.

Batophobia

@KevinvanderVelden But then future me that is hungry 2 hours before lunch is doomed

Kevin van der Velden

@5pike yes, I was being sarcastic. I'm still expecting an angry meta rant about it though

Origami Robot

Batophobia

@OrigamiRobot I also have ghost peppers in my desk for those individuals

Origami Robot

4:50 PM

I have these

5pike

@KevinvanderVelden Probably.

NES Remix (series)

NES Remix, known in Japan as Famicom Remix (Japanese: ファミコンリミックス, Hepburn: Famikon Rimikkusu), is a compilation video game series for Wii U, developed by Nintendo and indieszero. The first game was simultaneously announced and released on December 18, 2013 on the Nintendo eShop following a Nintendo Direct presentation. A second game, NES Remix 2 (Famicom Remix 2 (ファミコンリミックス2)), was released on April 25, 2014. A retail edition consisting of both games, titled NES Remix Pack in North America and Famicom Remix 1+2 in Japan, was released in Japan on April 24, 2014, and is scheduled for release in North...

I want to say second and third by preference.

Good to know. I don't plan on getting it right now with everything I have to play at the moment, but I might later :)

Unionhawk

@Rapitor It depends. Tap water is usually safe, but if it's not where you live, you can always get a water filter.

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot Bottled water is tap water from somewhere else that has better water than here.

5:50 PM

@OrigamiRobot It's tap water from somewhere else put into a plastic bottle, which makes everything taste like plastic.
