@3ventic very hate

RedRiderX

so anger

much fire

Unionhawk

much burn

3ventic

@OrigamiRobot burnt

GnomeSlice

I wish I hadn't spent so much money on games and music now because I really want Frozen Endzone

Unionhawk

very 3ventic

A young father who paid £450 for what he thought was an Xbox One on eBay was sent a photo of the new console instead.

OrigamiRobot

@3ventic such warm

GnomeSlice

@tombull89 Wow, what a jerk, whoever posted that

3ventic

@GnomeSlice the news or the ebay listing?

GnomeSlice

@3ventic The eBay listing

3ventic

True

Powerlord

18:03

@GnomeSlice They should make it about Donner Parties instead

Unionhawk

such scam?

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord Why?

RedRiderX

@Unionhawk very lie

GnomeSlice

That would be a completely different game.

RedRiderX

much photo

GnomeSlice

18:04

Man, during the IRC chat for the Big Steel Wheels prelaunch listening party, I was doge'ing it up with some people.

It was great.

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Very chat

much indie

GnomeSlice

I love you

RedRiderX

very irc

@GnomeSlice Why?

I thought you like doge?

GnomeSlice

I love Doge

RedRiderX

Okay I'm done with doge for now.

Clearly the daily doge quota has been exceeded.

OrigamiRobot

18:05

@RedRiderX such finished

user56652

@GnomeSlice What's the green icon on the "Battle Group" box?

RedRiderX

@OrigamiRobot Must... resist...

OrigamiRobot

@RedRiderX much controlled

Unionhawk

many resist

GnomeSlice

The Indie Ordinary Gamer Bundle

3ventic

18:06

@user56652 Android?

RedRiderX

such... temptation...

user56652

@3ventic I guess.

GnomeSlice

Sterno

@GnomeSlice Doge is off topic. -doge

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno so topic

GnomeSlice

18:07

Any fans of Super Hexagon may be very interested in that bundle for QbQbQb

Unionhawk

such rules

OrigamiRobot

very tag

user56652

@GnomeSlice They made more than two Slender games?

Unionhawk

Why am I still doing this?

Powerlord

@Unionhawk Because you suck?

Unionhawk

18:08

:(

GnomeSlice

@user56652 Yeah. Although it's not 'slender 5' it's 'slender, 5 pages'.

RedRiderX

@Powerlord :(

Unionhawk

SO MEAB

GnomeSlice

A new Slender game just came out too, on Steam I think.

Slender: The Arrival

►

Super Hexagon fans: ^

user56652

@GnomeSlice It's paid, right? I thought the first one was free.

RedRiderX

18:08

LETS NOT BE MEAB PEOPLES

Unionhawk

such meab

GnomeSlice

@user56652 Yeah, I dunno. I don't really play Slender games. The new one is definitely commercial though.

RedRiderX

HamStare @uni

user56652

@RedRiderX One step ahead, I have no idea what a meab is.

GnomeSlice

Also if you beat the average you get rooks keep, which just got greenlit so the multiplayer might actually work now

RedRiderX

18:09

BAD @BOO

GnomeSlice

@user56652 Running joke in here, based on a misspelling of 'mean' at some point.

fbueckert

@tombull89 Technically, it's misleading, but the ad DID apparently say it was just a photo.

tombull89

@fbueckert yeah he's a pleb for not reading the ad and a moron for buying it "fir his kid"

OrigamiRobot

Dec 12 '12 at 17:40, by fredley

@SaintWacko Anyone coming along later, wondering what this MEAB stuff is about: It's @Wipqozn's fault.

Unionhawk

HamStare @boo

boo

18:10

@Unionhawk ಠ_ಠ

Unionhawk

Heh.

user56652

@GnomeSlice So, are the developers responsible for hosting severs, or how does it integrate with Steam? I know a lot of non-Valve games that let me use the "join/invite" feature in Steam.

GnomeSlice

HamStare @OrigamiRobot

boo

@OrigamiRobot ಠ_ಠ

Unionhawk

Well done.

OrigamiRobot

18:10

has it really been over a year since meab?

Trent Hawkins

Also, an xbone for a 4 year old? who are you kidding, guy.

GnomeSlice

@user56652 Steam has servers I think. I know the current multiplayer for Rooks Keep is utterly broken. They don't have dedicated servers and you need to have certain ports open or something.

Only been able to get it to work through Hamachi

RedRiderX

@TrentHawkins It's for a bonding experience.

GnomeSlice

It's a fun game. Kind like like Unreal Tournament with swords, where the character classes are chess archetypes.

Not groundbreaking, but fun.

OrigamiRobot

Dec 12 '12 at 17:29, by Wipqozn

@SaintWacko Friendly? FRIENDLY!?!?!? WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS PLACE IS? A FRIENDLY BARN! YOU NEED TO BE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEAB ON ARQADE

user56652

18:11

@GnomeSlice Nobody likes to install a 3rd part program to play a game, unless it's a really good game.

or if it's part of the "first time setup" process

GnomeSlice

@user56652 Yeah, I mostly just play against bots. Still fun, but actual MP would be nice. Hopefully Steam will address that.

@Powerlord might know more about how Steam MP works.

RedRiderX

@OrigamiRobot Which then resulted in the Friendly Barn.

GnomeSlice

He's our resident Valve fanboy ;]

OrigamiRobot

The Remnants of the Friendly Barn

Frozen for nearly a year

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot HamStare @OrigamiRobot

Why did you guys ruin that

user56652

18:13

If only Steam chat would actually log the bloody chat, that'd make me a million times happier.

GnomeSlice

@user56652 Yeah that would be nice

it only remembers like the last 3 messages or so

Unionhawk

this is stupid

favorite quote ever

RedRiderX

in The Remnants of the Friendly Barn, Dec 28 '12 at 20:16, by RedRiderX

@Mana I'm pretty sure that's why it's here.

GnomeSlice

@Unionhawk rofl hahahaha

Unionhawk

Though I remembered it as "this is dumb", which sounds funnier

user56652

18:14

@GnomeSlice More than, but it's still annoying. It seems to remember chat from one session, but if you close it the next day the log will have cleared itself.

RedRiderX

My only contribution to the Friendly Barn.

GnomeSlice

I really want the soundtrack edition of Frozen Endzone, but $35

OrigamiRobot

in The Remnants of the Friendly Barn, Dec 24 '12 at 2:14, by Feeds

GnomeSlice has removed OrigamiRobot from the list of this room's owners.

GnomeSlice

That's like all I have left

@OrigamiRobot What, when did I do that

in The Remnants of the Friendly Barn, Dec 24 '12 at 2:14, by Feeds

GnomeSlice has added OrigamiRobot to the list of this room's owners.

RedRiderX

@SaintWacko 99+1!

SaintWacko

18:15

@RedRiderX Grrr

RedRiderX

But I'm out of actions again...

GnomeSlice

Oh yeah, I was testing it out

user56652

@GnomeSlice I really want to find out what song this is. It should be a crime to not put the song name in the videos description somewhere.

GnomeSlice

Newly Opened Proposals for Entertainment

Security Systems

Proposed Q&A site for topics related to planning and implementing security systems, which includes alarm systems, sensors, surveillance cameras, surveillance software, compatibility, and integration of all of the above.

Currently in definition.

user56652

18:16

@GnomeSlice It's available on everything, but Windows 7? why me.

GnomeSlice

@user56652 Oh, yeah I guess it's mobile

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice It's completely game-dependent.

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord Oh.

user56652

@GnomeSlice Damn all smart phones. I miss texting with only 9 keys.

Powerlord

For games that integrate into the Steam Server browser, that just means the game server talks to the Steam Master Server.

Some games also use nasty hacks to do this (Oh, hi Killing Floor!)

> Peter Clatworthy, 19, had saved up all year to buy the Microsoft console – which is now sold out – for his four-year-old son.

GnomeSlice

@user56652 There were non smartphones that had slide out keyboards too

user56652

@GnomeSlice Ya, but those came later on.

OrigamiRobot

Pretty clear he hasn't been the best decision maker in the past.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot At least he stayed around to raise the kid

user56652

Anyone remember the Sidekick?

RedRiderX

18:19

Sterno

@user56652 You should rename yourself to something awesome. Default usernames make baby Jesus cry.

RedRiderX

My newly named pet.

user56652

@Sterno Such as?

Sterno

@user56652 "Sterno" is pretty awesome, but it's already taken.

3ventic

@Sterno But isn't Jesus a grown-up already?

GnomeSlice

18:19

@user56652 SexRobot

Sterno

@3ventic TIMEY WIMEY

user56652

@Sterno I would change it to that, but I think that SE has a cool down on name changes.

3ventic

@GnomeSlice ಠ_ಠ

user56652

No idea why I had that on my clipboard.

GnomeSlice

@user56652 wow

Unionhawk

The olden days

user56652

@GnomeSlice I used to love mine. It's old as hell, but it was fun.

OrigamiRobot

18:21

@user56652 GnomieBear

user56652

Come to think of it I wonder if it had any emulators.

Nope, not that I can tell.

If it weren't broken I'd try going on SE chat, and see if it'd work.

@OrigamiRobot No.

OrigamiRobot

No? Why not?

GnomeSlice

Nov 14 '12 at 0:04, by OrigamiRobot

This is why ~~@GnomeSlice~~ @SexRobot is my favorite.

Not favourite enough for you to not block me!

;_;

user56652

@OrigamiRobot I keep my username generic, because this way I have no identity. Other than a generic one.

@GnomeSlice Block?

We can block people?

GnomeSlice

@user56652 Yeah, it's called 'ignoring' though, in the chat.

user56652

18:24

Weird function to have, unless everyone here hates each other secretly.

RedRiderX

@user56652 click user avatar > ignore

GnomeSlice

A bunch of people have me blocked. =[

Sterno

You could also name yourself @MichaelDunfield. No one is using that.

OrigamiRobot

@user56652 Why?

RedRiderX

@user56652 It can be a useful tool for keeping the peace.

OrigamiRobot

18:25

@user56652 I overtly hate people.

user56652

@OrigamiRobot Anonymity, or what little of it I have left.

OrigamiRobot

53 secs ago, by OrigamiRobot

@user56652 Why?

RedRiderX

@user56652 It's more of a pseudonymity than an anonymity.

user56652

@OrigamiRobot Privacy, corpses, riddles, Hitchcock, etc

RedRiderX

With this site anyway.

user56652

18:27

@RedRiderX Sure. I live in Florida near Tampa. I don't care if you know where I live, that means nothing to me.

OrigamiRobot

Privacy? hah

3ventic

@user56652 you should rename to user[randomid] instead of keeping your own ID to confuse people.

Sterno

The problem with your username is that most of us can't be assed to memorize the number after your name, and since your gravatar is also generic, you'll seem like some random person every single time you come to chat

GnomeSlice

@Sterno Pretty sure I would be allowed to dispute that

user56652

@Sterno That's the point.

RedRiderX

18:28

@user56652 Well you've achieved that then.

Sterno

@user56652 Okay. I guess that works so long as you never really want to have any continuing conversations with people.

user56652

Well I can't think any memorable usernames. So there is no point really.

I would name myself after a character I like, but then I'd be a clone of something else.

OrigamiRobot

@user56652 We've given you plenty

user56652

First world problems.

GnomeSlice

@user56652 Change it somehow then

user56652

18:29

@OrigamiRobot quality > quanity

GnomeSlice

Like Spongebob WebDesignerpants or something

Kevin van der Velden

@user56652 random-name-generator.info

OrigamiRobot

@user56652 How dare you imply Mark Trapp isn't a quality name!

Kevin van der Velden

Pick a random one then, at least other people can recognize it =p

user56652

How's Kathy Watson? I'm a guy though.

Sterno

18:30

FirstWorldProblems is a perfectly fine name

Unionhawk

That might get confusing yeh

Sterno

LiterallyWorseThanHitler would work too

RedRiderX

@user56652 So?

GnomeSlice

@user56652 Kevin Watson

user56652

I could just do Kelina.

GnomeSlice

18:31

I don't think @kalina would appreciate that

user56652

and use a pony for an avatar, but that may be confusing

OrigamiRobot

NoName works

RedRiderX

@user56652 Pretty much anything is more memorable then what you have now.

user56652

Hasn't updated yet, I guess.

RedRiderX

@user56652 I like it.

user56652

@RedRiderX Still won't update on chat though.

Sterno

RedRiderX

@user56652 It takes a bit of time to propagate.

And might require a hard refresh.

OrigamiRobot

I used to use the name Colonel Kernel on some old games.

user56652

18:36

@RedRiderX Reminds me of a game called Hard Reset.

store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/98400

RedRiderX

A good new FPS with old-style PC FPS sensibilities.

user56652

@RedRiderX That game isn't that new, but it's not that old either.

2012.

RedRiderX

@user56652 One year is new.

user56652

@RedRiderX I consider 6 months to be new.

RedRiderX

~20 years is old

user56652

18:39

Anything over that is dated.

Unionhawk

@RedRiderX Therefore @kalina is old qed

RedRiderX

@Unionhawk Obviously.

Powerlord

Except the best multiplayer FPS game ever is already 6 years old... and still being updated.

user56652

I'm pretty sure it's singleplayer only.

TF2 isn't as amazing as everyone likes to point out.

Powerlord

@user56652 HERESY!

Q: How should I use Merchants of Venice?

When playing as Venice you can't build settlers, instead you can puppet city states for free using a Merchant of Venice. How can I most effectively use these merchants? Should I send them out to puppet city states ASAP or should I hold them in reserve to capture city states at opportune moments?...

Sterno

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice Yes but good luck playing it online.

GnomeSlice

18:41

@Powerlord Halo 3 and reach and 4 are still active

Halo 3 is the best, in my opinion.

Many good times were had playing Halo 3

Unionhawk

But those are newer...

boo

I feel so used

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice And those would be sequels.

Unionhawk

Bwaha

RedRiderX

@boo Well you shouldn't, because it never works. :P

Powerlord

18:42

Otherwise I could just as easily lump the Unreal games together.

Speaking of which, where is UT 4?

user56652

@GnomeSlice These games don't exist.

Anything past Halo 2 is a lie.

*citation needed

GnomeSlice

@user56652 Nah, Halo 3 is the shit man.

@RedRiderX If you cause me to be throttled that's your fault

@kalina that

THAT WASN'T THE DEAL

besides, you amateurs voted in a way that is going to get reversed anyway

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I know, but I asked nicely

kalina

there is more chance of me visiting Ronan when he's back down this way than there is of me uploading a picture of myself to the internet

boo

@kalina It's alright, a map with directions to your new house will suffice

OrigamiRobot

@kalina We'll just get him to do it

kalina

18:51

@kalina Yeah.
