I can't remember the exact day

It was mid-20s.

Ben Brocka

It might be a little tight if you want the best ending and are missing parts in 5 different areas, but almost certainly possible

Oh, that's closer to the wire

fbueckert

I had forgotten that Pikmin had a time limit.

Wipqozn

iirc I had a really bad day and lost a ton of pikmin, and had to spend a couple days getting back all my pikmin. I didn't realize I could just go back and play a previous day.

I only just realized that now.

@BenBrocka That was part of it too. Parts were spread out across multiple areas.

It was a couple years ago so I can't remember all the details.

Right now I've got 10/30 parts and I'm on Day 8.

@FAE I expected lawl and roffle

fbueckert

Wait, what? Release of Pikmin 3 is July 26th?

FAE

@badp It amused me. :)

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn That's a fairly healthy start I think

Wipqozn

@fbueckert August 8th for us.

or 3rd...

august single digits.

It's 26th for UK I think.

I didn't think it was coming out until the fall.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Probably 8th; the 3rd is a Saturday.

Ben Brocka

15:08

I suppose I should preorder that

fbueckert

@BenBrocka Never pre-order games! It's not worth it!

Wipqozn

@fbueckert eh, depends on the game and the company.

Ben Brocka

In this case I really have no reason not to. Nintendo's not going to fuck up Pikmin 3

It's not EA we're talking

Wipqozn

I usually don't pre-order games anymore. In fact I can't recall the last time I did, but...well, what @BenBrocka just said.

Combination of the game + company + following it before hand

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Unless you really want to play it on release day or shortly thereafter, you can almost always pick it up for cheaper afterwards.

Wipqozn

15:10

@fbueckert That is true, but not for Nintendo titles.

Nintendo takes a while to drop the price of first-party games, and then usually not by much.

Just a matter if a sale happens at a local store.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn ...Really? I've never noticed that. Huh.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Skyward Sword is still $50.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Good thing I qualified that with, "almost always"!

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Yes sir!

Ben Brocka

Yeah Nintendo games don't drop price much anymore. I finally bought Kirby's Return to Dreamland and it was still like $45 new or something, it's 2 years old

Wipqozn

15:13

I need to finish that game.

Ben Brocka

I don't even know if they do "greatest hits" stuff anymore

Wipqozn

I got to the final world, and the difficulty took a huge leap. I was sad.

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn You need to finish it AND EX mode, I've heard the True Arena is pretty kick-ass

Wipqozn

Kirby is one of those games that I like to have a low difficulty.

I just see it as a super relaxing fun time.

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Do you have Circle Pack 3 in origin circle?

Ben Brocka

15:14

@Wipqozn Really? I had a teeny bit of trouble getting all energy spheres but I found it pretty easy still

fredley

@OrigamiRobot No, trying now and failing badly

Ben Brocka

Even the final boss is a bit forgiving (if you die you start over at the form you died on)

OrigamiRobot

@fredley I can't even come up with a plan.

Ben Brocka

I rarely died more than a couple times on any level, not counting that stupid spiked boot "power up"

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Need to work out what ratio of r the centers of the circles need to be

Ronan Forman

15:15

Turns out my body likes having blood in it.

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka It's possible that I was just bored of the game by the time I got to the final level and was really lazy.

Ben Brocka

me and my friends died over 10 times to a level starting with one of those boots on saturday. We gave up and continued without it

OrigamiRobot

@RonanForman I can fix that for you.

fbueckert

...Joy. I just got tasked with learning a new CMS system and giving a dev quote within two weeks.

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn It's really fun with friends. I'd strongly suggest finishing it, maybe bring friends to finish it and start EX mode, or the Arena

Wipqozn

15:16

@BenBrocka Yeah, I've been meaning to.

Ronan Forman

@Ori How?

Ben Brocka

Er just Extra mode or whatever they call it

Wipqozn

I'm bad at not finishing games.

Okay, I need to get ready for class.

OrigamiRobot

@fredley It's not going well.

@OrigamiRobot I'm going for a different approach: source code

Ronan Forman

@fbueckert Smug mode

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Cheater!

Martin Sojka

@RonanForman Pi is Pi. Now, the ratio of the diameter of a circle to its circumference depends on the curvature of the space it inhibits. It's exactly Pi only in some very specific circumstances.

fredley

@fbueckert Maths is useless in everyday life!

fbueckert

You brits are dead to me now.

DEAD, YOU HEAR?!

SaintWacko

@fbueckert Ha, you didn't hear the story

Walmart has it online for $29, so I went to the nearest Walmart to pickup a copy

Well, in store it's $40, and Walmart won't match their own online price

fbueckert

@SaintWacko Yeah, I've bitched about that before.

SaintWacko

So I asked if I could order it Site-to-Store, and pick it up immediately

Escalated that question through two levels of management

fbueckert

They expect people who walk into the store to be susceptible to the sunk cost fallacy.

SaintWacko

"no"

It would screw up their inventory

Well, Best Buy price matches Walmart's online price

So I start calling Best Buys

They were all out of Monster Hunter -.-

So I ended up just getting Fire Emblem

fbueckert

I guess you'll just have to order it online and wait for it to be delivered.
