I'm still stuck on exploring free week champions after a long hiatus :)

@Fluttershy How far are you?

Braiam

we need to do the worst for @fei because this

Unionhawk

CONGRATULATIONS @FEI

Fluttershy

@Frank In X-HD? I just got to Besaid.

FEichinger

23:05

4 more favourites and I also get a silver badge.

Frank

@Fluttershy Haven't been playing that much, then.

Fluttershy

@Frank I have not. I've been stuck on Titanfall. <_<

Frank

I'm just past Luca.

Q: Technic Modpacks crashing

Whenever I try to launch Attack of the B-Team any version higher than 1.0.1,it starts to load,and then it just goes back to the launcher.It doesn't even get to the minecraft opening screen.

Fluttershy

@Frank Did you win the tournament?

Frank

23:06

@Fluttershy Surprisingly, yes.

user15026

@FEichinger I am not even remotely surprised this happened.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn I am deeply disappointed.

user15026

@FEichinger It is a meme thing attached to a game that became a meme

user15026

and had meme babies

A world that upvotes Doge is an unjust world.

Unionhawk

23:08

Also, at this point, a world that still cares about 2048 is an unjust world

I mean, honestly

Fluttershy

YESSSS!

I got into the Steam beta for Battleblock Theater! :D

user15026

@Fluttershy niiiiice

Alok

@Fluttershy People already started playing it? I haven't even ordered yet, but I think it released just couple of days back?

Fluttershy

@Alok It released on Tuesday. Mine came in Monday, but I only started it last night.

GnomeSlice

More stupid developers

CC @GraceNote

Alok

23:16

Ok, time to order it today I guess ... had already decided I will give money to Square, even if I never get around to playing it again for ages

Frank

@Fluttershy Does the story change at all if you win?

Alok

And I somehow missed the whole doge boat, though I'm considering whether to mine dogecoins

Fluttershy

@Frank Not really. It's more of a feel good moment. Wakka is happy when he leaves, as opposed to disappointed.

Alok

before they explode in value like bitcoin & I feel bad for not having any

Frank

@Fluttershy And carrying that giant trophy on his shoulder.

Fluttershy

23:17

@Frank Yep!

Alok

@Fluttershy Isn't there something about having to win a tournament for his ultimate weapon?

Fluttershy

@Frank Which Sphere Grid did you pick?

@Alok A tournament, yeah, but not the specific story-related one.

And, I think that's just to unlock his final Overdrive.

Alok

I never got far enough to get Ultimate weapons first time around

Frank

@Fluttershy Standard.

Because it gives more spheres.

Fluttershy

@Frank Same. Expert apparently lets you unlock stuff faster, but you lose out on some spheres, which is a no-go for me.

Frank

23:20

This revision... Blah. Guy takes my advice completely the wrong way.

GnomeSlice

@Frank Give better advice.

Frank

And yet, manages to garner three reopen votes.

Luckily, I haven't used mine yet, so if it gets reopened, I'm slapping another close vote on it instantly.

FEichinger

@Frank And now I want to retract my reopen vote ...

GnomeSlice

@Frank Congratulations.

@FEichinger You can, can't you?

Or is that only for close votes

FEichinger

(Which, for the record, I cast because the expansion had a non-NDA closed beta which makes it perfectly on-topic.)

Unionhawk

23:22

@GnomeSlice Don't think so

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice I think I can, but I do want to reopen it. And if I retract, I can't re-vote.

GnomeSlice

Why would you retract it if you want to reopen it?

Michael Frank

oooh how did I not know about the SOA: Extra Edition? :o

Frank

That said, if he rewords it to focus completely on the dropped items, such as, "Hey, I found this flail, but it's Crusader only. What's it good for?", I'll happily cast a reopen vote.

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice Because the edit was bad.

GnomeSlice

23:23

@FEichinger Uh, okay.

Q: Whats the highest scoring word in words with friends

I've been playing words with friends for awhile now and have made some pretty high scoring words but... what's the highest scoring word ignoring bonus tile placement? Also what's the highest scoring word including bonus tile placement. Depending on where letters fall and how bonus tiles align ...

words-with-friends

Alok

So the FFX HD 'special edition' on Amazon is the one to buy right? Or do other places have some better variant? (not going for CE)

Frank

@Alok I just picked it up from the local Best Buy.

GnomeSlice

How about we stop calling it 'early access'

Alok

@Frank I see a 'Special' edition for $40 from Amazon which has some artwork booklet stuff. BB is same cost but not clear if its normal or special edition

Fluttershy

23:28

@Alok The "Special Edition" is the only non-CE version other than standard, and most places are doing a free upgrade to the Special Edition if you buy standard. I know Amazon and GameStop both did, at least.

Frank

@Alok Link to Amazon?

Fluttershy

@Alok Are the covers the same?

The SE has a different cover than the standard edition.

That's the cover art that comes with the art book.

Frank

@Fluttershy Yep, that's different than what I got.

Trent Hawkins

Clearly, there is something about Pokemon Battle Trozei that I am just not getting. :/

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote By the way, you have been pinged in the MetaSO tavern.

Frank

23:35

I also ordered the strategy guide, because I realized I didn't actually have one for this game.

Alok

@Fluttershy Yes that's the one on Amazon, I haven't gone to Gamestop but I'll try to drop by tonight to check what they have

@Frank amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-X-2-Remaster-Special-Playstation/dp/…

Frank

@Alok Yep, different than mine.

But I don't really mind; if I wanted a special edition, I would've gone with the Collector's Edition.

But that's through Squeenix's storefront only, and Digital River can go die in a fire.

Alok

@Fluttershy Ok, so whether I buy SE from Amazon, Gamestop or elsewhere is the same. I remember some game where the incentives differed based on where you bought from :/

Fluttershy

@Alok Yeah. This isn't one of those though. It's not like, say, LA Noire, where it was "get this mission if you buy from Walmart, but GameStop has this other mission."

Frank

@Fluttershy That is one of the stupidest things to come out of the publishers.

It does nothing but delay the content.

Alok

23:43

@Frank I checked & the game I was thinking of is FF XIII-2, but I completely agree its stupid to have different bonuses and confuse people :(

Frank

@Alok Especially since the missing content becomes payable DLC in a short while, anyways.

Alok

@Frank You could still return it and get special edition perhaps? Not that I'm particularly interested in the LE goodies either, but hey its free artbook for same cost, might as well!

Frank

@Alok Meh. I'd look at it once, then put it on the shelf, never to be touched again.

Alok

I might be the only one to start X-2 first ... played X a lot and I have very little idea of X-2 at all hehe.

user15026

@Frank That's what happened with me and my copy of Hyrule Historia. Not sure why I bothered.

Fluttershy

23:45

I got the CE. :3 Six hour music/cinematic bluray!

Frank

@Fluttershy Now THAT, I would want.

But I bet I could find it online already.

Alok

@Fluttershy For $40 more I'll wait to see that on youtube :P

Frank

@AshleyNunn Because pretty.

Same reason I bought that collector's boxset of Zelda guides.

Fluttershy

@Alok It also comes with a hardcover art book, and 5 lithographs. :3

user15026

@Frank I really wasn't all that impressed with it.

Frank

23:46

THEY ARE SO BLOODY PRETTY!

@AshleyNunn No? That sucks.

Alok

@Fluttershy Yeah ... I'd actually like the book but I haven't got around to a physical bookshelf yet, since almost everything is online nowadays :(. But I mainly just want to play the game anyway. Now when are they doing FF7 HD ... >_<

Q: PSA: Don't send Decorator Droids to unfinished levels

They don't do anything. At least they did not for me.

tiny-death-star

Fluttershy

@Frank I need dis!

Frank

@Fluttershy Cost me ~$150.

FEichinger

@Lazers Oh, look, a NARQ.

Frank

23:50

And it was bloody worth it. They are so gorgeous.

Braiam

@FEichinger you mean "unclear" :P

FEichinger

@Braiam No, I mean NARQ. Because I'm nostalgic and still hate most of the new close reasons.

Braiam

starts counting the things that @FEichinger doesn't hate.. done

Frank

Thanks to our anti-vaccine morons, measles have made a comeback.

user15026

@Frank Don't even get me started, yo.

Braiam

23:57

@Frank ouch!

Unionhawk

@Frank Am I correct in thinking this only impacts these people or not?

Frank

@AshleyNunn I dunno; we could get some major hate going.

user15026

@Unionhawk ..no

Frank

@Unionhawk Sadly, no.

Unionhawk

Damn

user15026

23:58

It affects ANYONE.

Frank

Those that aren't vaccinated, get infected, and it mutates from there.

Unionhawk

Welp.

user15026

@Frank COnsidering I have in the past gotten angry enough to throw up, I'd like not to so much

Frank

Making those that were vaccinated against the original strain are no longer immune.

@AshleyNunn Alright, fair enough.

Unionhawk

(Because I, for many years, depended on other people to be up to date on vaccines because I wasn't medically able to get my pertussis vaccine, so I have a LOT of stuff entangled in this).
