@badp There's still a clear downward trendline
It's like they have the 7.4-7.2 range locked down to science
also LOL @ the clip show outliers in the early years
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'd be surprised if any episodic series ever didn't have the same
-1,000,000, doesn't have Tom and Jerry
I think there's also a couple bajillion more than 52 episodes of Popeye.
@badp Tom and Jerry never had their own show afaik; they were short films which were originally released theatrically and then got packaged into clip compilations along with the likes of the looney tunes and poppy et al.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm talking about series where every episode is self contained and the status of the world reverts at the end of every episode to its default value
so Breaking Bad is right out
dunno about the other two
14:05
@badp Okay, good thing the other two shows I linked meet that criteria.
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...barely
I mean, they barely are upwards
I mean, if they don't end in a downwards spiral, they didn't milk out the series as much as they could
...so they're likely to keep producing until they do go down the drain
Also how do they only have 170 episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful?
Something is amiss
the feels, I have them
That series is so long, Wikipedia fails to have a list of all episodes
@badp Hmm.. I can get 350 of another soap opera, that yeah, is well into the thousands
All soap operas. There's something like 150-200 episodes a year for some of them.
Or more
14:11
@LessPop_MoreFizz I guess what's going on is that they only have data from the select episodes that made it to DVD
...or rather, nobody rated the thousands of episodes in between
@MBraedley Well yes, but I only checked one additional data point.
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE
@badp Honestly, this is probably the most likely scenario.
@LessPop_MoreFizz The internet failed me.
WE NEED TO TIE TWELVE PEOPLE TO A BUNCH OF COMFY CHAIRS AND SUBJECT THEM TO THE REQUIRED MARATHON IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE INTERNET WITH RATING DATA
@LessPop_MoreFizz No, it's on my list
14:14
At 60 minutes per episode (without ad breaks, it just isn't the same) this should take less than a year
It is VERY LOUD.
Hmm... if we add in the new episodes released during the marathon, that might bring the required time up to roughly a year.
Plus a few months of sleep.
STILL! Very doable.
@badp I have to imagine this violates the Geneva Convention, as well as like... seventeen other laws.

GOOD ENOUGH
@badp Honestly, he's pretty much dead on in that Oculus needed to partner up eventually. Valve had a space they could play in which was largely ignored for half a decade while they got it right. Because they definitely did not get it right on day one.
By the time everyone and his uncle started opening an online software shop/games shop, Valve had just an absolutely massive head start.
...to be fair, the Sony VR efforts would probably have been only slightly slower without Oculus warming up the audience for it
but they would've still probably happened, Oculus or no Oculus
@LessPop_MoreFizz You keep saying "partner." I don't think it means what you think it means :P
@badp Not the point, really. The point is, the rest of the industry caught on fast enough that while Oculus has a lead, it isn't a very big one.
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's actually debatable that Oculus does have a lead
16:10
@badp I'm using Carmack's language. As he put it, Oculus needed to partner up with somebody at a minimum. The fact that they chose to be acquired instead of simply doing a joint venture is a question of magnitude.
Sony might've easily have been working on Morpheus for just as long as Oculus has.
The real strength of Oculus is that it's not tied to hardware that will struggle to deliver VR-worthy graphics.
Do you really think the reaction would have been different if they had instead announced "Today, we're announcing a new joint venture with Facebook, they're going to be investing heavily in Oculus, and we're going to work directly with them".
@badp the state of their demo at GDC seems to suggest that
@LessPop_MoreFizz To be fair, no. Just the simple mention of Facebook is enough to lift my hair from my forearm.
It would have been a little less sad, though
@LessPop_MoreFizz I would have had a different reaction. My first thought when seeing the news was "Oh no! No no no no no!"
16:12
It also would've put Facebook and Valve at the same level, at least at the public eye
It might also have been less honest.
@LessPop_MoreFizz My reaction would have been "Wat...? Er... pls no?" instead of "Oh no. Oh god no. Oh nonononononononononononono NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO T_T"
Which is funny, because if you look at recent major tech buyouts, Facebook has probably been a better buyer than just about any of the other behemoths; they tend to just leave things they buy alone. See: Instagram.
Meh, I guess
If they got bought by Yahoo or something dumb like that' my reaction would have probably been... yeah
Whereas, for example, Google and Apple both, whenever they buy something, promptly dismantle it and integrate the tech halfassedly everywhere while everyone quits.
And Yahoo tends to just... run a thing into the ground by hamhandedly imposing their network over it and alienating the staff.
Compared to those? Give me Facebook any day.
That's a fair point. But, you know, there's always time to put "more arrows behind less wood" later.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I JUST HIT MY ELBOW ON A SHARP CORNER AND I HATE EVERYTHIGN

how do you even type with that kind of pain?
@badp BADLY
so far 1 error out of more than a dozen words!
I think "UPPERCASE" would've been more accurate!
I wonder if the Autocad DRM @OrigamiRobot has at work just whips him in the elbow every three minutes, causing him to be in constant pain he lets out silently through uppercase chat
@badp That's how I like to envision it.
@LessPop_MoreFizz but compared to Facebook, I would have preferred Valve or another gaming company. Yes, there are great possibilities for VR outside of games and other interactive experiences, but the early adopters will be gamers and visionaries. The second group will buy regardless of who is selling.
16:25
It is kind of weird that they decided that Facebook would be the better bet because the core businesses are so far removed from each other, there would be little leak through between the two worlds
(or at least that's how they dismissed options such as Microsoft or EA, who would've been able to swap human resources in and out of the project more naturally)
They could've gone for Rebook at that point.
@badp that was my worry. Facebook has no business area that relates to the current state of VR, and their dreams of social interaction seem too far down the road.

It actually makes more sense than the Facebook acquisition. Except I guess your average sports equipment manufacturer doesn't quite have as much money on hand I suppose.
Oh wow, you can give Minecraft entities (i.e. Mobs) scoreboard values. Didn't know that.

Okay, now you can simulate a bunch of people being in the same room

That reminds me of a game I played where someone left right at the start

@badp Fun fact: This is what Runescape had planned a while ago.
@Unionhawk I can only think, say, being able to hug your mother on the other end of the ocean? But VR doesn't let you do that.
Maybe pat somebody on the back? Also not an option.
@badp Don't give them any ideas
@FEichinger Wait...?
@Unionhawk I can give them ideas, but you go ahead and tell me how to implement human warmth over IP because I don't have a clue.

@spugsley not a thing
@Chippies yes O_o it was cray
@MBraedley it was impossible to kill them all :(
@MBraedley Sure it is, she said 'to many goblins', not 'too many goblins.' Clearly, she is issuing a toast or call to arms, and not making a comment about the quantity thereof.

Also, he's probably done this a thousand times before

Yet, anyone who has had to deal with an animal who makes excessive noise can tell you, it sucks. It really does.

17:45
He didn't. I did, because 'GOOGLE IT DUMMY' is not productive, and because, furthermore you're addressing only the most surface aspect of the question possible. (A better answer would, for example, point out that there is no continuity we earlier bioshock games, and yes, you should be patient because lots of stuff is just tossed out in the intro.)
I thought about it, for the same reasons
So, Volgarr the Viking makes Dark Souls look like a cakewalk.

So, anyway, for those of you in Europe, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright came out Friday.
...but just like Azran Legacy's NA delay, it isn't out yet in North America. No doubt in part because they use a different voice actor (well, actress) for Luke in North America.
user15026
I might get vs, but I am not really sold on Azran. The last few Layton games weren't that enjoyable for me.
@AshleyNunn I thought Azran was OK, but some plot development did seem out of left field.
Then again, if you compare the two trilogies, the first trilogy seems like it could happen (except the very end of the third game) with rich enough people, whereas the second trilogy couldn't.
It does finally wrap up Descole's storyline, though.

@Powerlord meh, it's never about file size, it's about file count
It takes the exact same time to remove a multi terabyte file as a empty file in most file systems, cause all it does is say "This entry stating the file name and where it is? null that"
@KevinvanderVelden Was gonna say ... this depends entirely on how the delete works. A simple unlink is a different matter than actual erase.
@FEichinger well jeah, but do you really expect him to be erasing a folder called gameserver? I think it's a fair assumption that it's an rm -r call
So the Skyrim any% run is apparently hilarious

Yup
You can skip half the story by clipping inside a wall or something

@StrixVaria What do you use as a Wrath spender?
@Chippies You run a Crusader too, right?
@Yuki yeah
@Chippies What do you use as a Wrath spender?
I use blessed hammer either with limitless or thunder
nothing else seems to match the amount of damage I get out of it per wrath
I've been using Fist of the Heavens (Retribution), but I think I'm going to try out Heaven's Fury (Fire of Heavens).
950% line AoE for 40 Wrath sounds nice.
I just feel like Blessed Hammer misses too much as it spins around.
FotH and Heaven's Fury are easier to aim.
@Yuki I tried it, but it seemed to do only twice as much as my regular attack and it's so expensive
spin a few blessed hammers and everything dies
19:49
@Chippies I critted for 7M with it, which was nice.
@Yuki I crit for 1-1.3m with primary and hammer crits for around the same, but it hits a lot more times, whereas heaven's fury was doind around 4m dmg but only hits once
@Chippies Heaven's Fury hits everything in a line though.
Different kind of AoE for sure, but still can hit multiple targets.
@Yuki it goes through enemies?
@Chippies Yeah.
personally, I like the fact that blessed hammer goes around me and it spreads a lot
also, it hits everything in melee range
so there's not much aiming required in melee
19:51
Yeah, but so much of my damage is already in melee range (Judgement + everything), it's nice to have some reliable range.
You need to wait around a bit for Blessed Hammer to get range and it's hella inaccurate in those cases.
I even had a weapon that made heaven's fury shoot +2 bolts and I still didn't like it
perhaps it's just preference
@Chippies How does that interact with the Fires of Heaven rune?
I use smite with increased range or judgement
not sure, don't remember what that rune does
@Chippies Ah, I use health regen Smite.
@Chippies Removes the cooldown and replaces it with a Wrath cost.
Basically turns it into a Wrath spender.
Also makes it a line AoE rather than a ground-targeted AoE.
@Yuki isn't THAT retribution?
19:54
@Chippies Retribution is a rune for Fist of the Heavens.
oh yeah
confusing names
Idk, I tried the wrath rune on heaven's fury, but I didn't like the wrath cost
I just find that I can spam blessed hammer A LOT
@Chippies It is a bit high, but I crit fairly regularly so that 7-9M is beautiful.
whereas most other wrath spenders are like 3-4 casts for little damage
It's like having a second Condemn.
@Yuki for 40 wrath you can do 4 hammers and that's a lot more than 7-9m especially if you're in a big mob
19:57
@Chippies Yeah, but I connect with several mobs at a time since it's piercing.
I'll give Hammer a try and see if I like it more.
you can just walk and cast one hammer every 2 steps when you don't have a mob big enough to justify spamming it
