@Frank the hardware for the camera/screen is still just a bit too big for that

though I think they are working on some better looking ones and some ones with real lenses

Take note, Google

@GnomeSlice Cigarettes are hipster? what?

I want a glass which is the HUD, one of those skin-touching microphones that only pick up your own speech and... wifi?

@5pike The description on that one is funny.

Basically, I don't like the idea of being secretly recorded

> One person's trash is another person's piece of shit $1700 "desk lamp."

hahahah

@GnomeSlice Redesigns without any knowledge of the product requirements or goals.

Meh

Well, being recorded also comes with privacy implications.

And what is or isn't admissible in court.

@Frank Oh heck yeah

But you'd have to admit it would be silly to not try and include that

It seems like the perfect place to have a camera

On your face at all times

Yeah, our laws need to be updated to take into account the internet, but at the same time, I don't think giving the NSA even MORE data is a good idea.

Why would you even want to use Google Glass.

@GnomeSlice If it wasn't ludicrously expensive, I might consider it for the camera

If it has a good camera

My phone has a camera

@GnomeSlice real life HUDs would be cool

But other then that I haven't seen a lot of real life applications yet

@GnomeSlice and your camera used to have a camera.

If everyone's wearing a camera, what is, and isn't, something that can be used in court? It's a point that needs to be defined.

@Frank Indeed

the entire point of Google Glass is to be the next step in mobile devices. It could eventually replace smartphones.

Will the 30 seconds before and after a clip be necessary to determine consent?

Will consent be implied by a red blinking light?

@Frank That just depends on the consent laws of where you are.

Or will they pull an FBI and creatively misconstrue it to mean whatever they want it to mean?

NC, IIRC, is a one-party state.

That too

@OrigamiRobot If everyone's recording everything, consent is meaningless.

real like HUD and bone conduction "speakers" are super cool. The current hardware is far from perfect though

@Wipqozn What?

you guys seem to think consent is needed when most of the time it is not

Does Glass record sound with any clarity?

@Frank the law would say differently, but then the law always lags behind

@GnomeSlice A camera used to be a way to take pictures, so by the same logic you used you could say "Why do I need a smartphone when my Camera can take pictures?"

@Sterno depends on the state. In Iowa at least, only one party needs to consent (e.g. record what you want, but you have to be THERE not using a secret camera)

Google glass is creepy. EOD.

poop.bike

Sure, Cameras can still produce higher quality images but unless you're a professional photographer then a smartphone will cover 90% of you needs.

There sure are a lot of TLDs now.

@GnomeSlice A better example would probably be "Why do I need the time on my phone when I have a watch?" Technology advances.

@Wipqozn Hey, I still wear a watch!

@Wipqozn Right, but you don't buy a phone just to tell the time if you have a watch.

And he said he'd buy it for the camera.

@Frank yeah, but you do it or fashion.

@BenBrocka So if I'm in Iowa and I'm using whatever qualifies as a "secret camera" to take a video of my daughter playing soccer, and another person's kid runs through the frame, I'm immediately violating privacy laws since I don't have consent? That doesn't sound right.

Who wants to bet it's F2P by then

@Wipqozn I wear a watch to read the time off of it

They might take a full year though, if they're stubborn

@BenBrocka It was 6 months for The Old Republic right?

Because I don't want to get my phone from my pocket, shove it out of it's container and press the power button

@Wipqozn Little bit of fashion. Mostly because it's orders of magnitude easier than fishing out the cell phone.

@Sterno the point is basically if you're recording a conversation you have to physically be there, not leave a bug in a room to record other people

@Frank Have you bought the Gear yet?

I'm also talking about shooting the video, not using it later

@sterno the laws in question generally only come in to play when the recording is used in court as evidence or published for commercial use.

@Frank Not from a legal perspective.

@RedRiderX it was that quick? That was one of the bigguns

Maybe it was longer

@RedRiderX Heard about it. Not really interested in it, though.

@Frank What!

I have enough tech. My watch is a marvel of mechanical engineering.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Okay, agreed there.. I was remarking on the fact that some people seem to have the impression that someone needs your consent to take a video of you when you're out in public.

Who wouldn't want to write emails on a screen that size!?

@sterno location also matters.

And that it looks stylish is also something I appreciate.

Android Wear seems to have more potential than Gear

In a public place, you don't have an expectation that you won't show up in somebody else's photos.

@OrigamiRobot Laws always lag behind what technology can do.

I'm disregarding current law entirely in my argument.

You do have that expectation in, for example, your home, even if you unwittingly invite a glasshole in.

@LessPop_MoreFizz you do have an expectation that you are not the focus of the photo right?

web.archive.org/web/20120808054507/http://finance.yahoo.com/…

@kevin no, but see prior statement re: commercial use / publication.

@RedRiderX My dad bought an original Gear lately. He likes it

I prefer my Pebble

@GnomeSlice I'm not trying to address his specific thing, but your general question. People come up with devices intended to replace already existing devices, and improve upon them. A smartphone took already existing devices and put them all into one device to make it easier and more convenient to use. Google Glass aims to do something similar. Instead of needing to take out your phone and take a picture you just look at something and say "Google Glass take picture".

@LessPop_MoreFizz aah true

Although the motorola 360 looks beautiful

@RedRiderX Dec 2011 - Fall 2012

What I would want, if I felt like paying + wearing a watch, which I don't, would be something with Android Wear features but Pebble's battery life

@GnomeSlice Instead of needing to keep looking at amap, you just have google glass have a map displayed on the screen when you're lost. Instead of needing to take out your phone to search something on the internet, you just have google glass perform the search and display the results.

Did colored e-ink ever progress much?

Hrm, that's not what I meant.

@BenBrocka Yeah, I'm hoping that Motorola manages that

Pretty much 6 months

Now whether or not it does all these things better is a whole other question, but the reason people would use it is because either A) They think it does things better or the ability to OR B) Has the ability to do something other devices can't (and also because it's cool)

@BenBrocka People who care about no glare get Paperwhites

@SaintWacko unless it's wireless charging I can't imagine the bother of charging a watch DAILY. a week at worst would probably be my limit

Wireless charging is pretty sweet though

@BenBrocka Do you wear your watch in bed?

@BenBrocka they seem to exist in customer versions

For example, this is my watch, only with a black face:

So there hasn't been a lot of development

I don't see why Google Glass changes the applicability of current consent laws.

Not that I've seen anyway

Watches. Meh.

@Frank Looks nice

No, but plugging it in is a bother. If I could set it on a pad though I suppose that'd be fine

Also, re: privacy. I suspect that our idea of privacy is going to change a lot in the next 100 years.

@SaintWacko 'tis, indeed.

@Frank Show moar gears!

@OrigamiRobot lewd

Showing gears is like porn for @OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko It's true.

"Whoooo, baby, take off that casing!"

That's kinda what the back looks like.

@Frank's watch is such a tease.

NSFW

It's a gorgeous watch.

(And cost me more than any console I've ever bought)

Isn't there a watch that's just a shitload of gears that doesn't actually tell time? You should get that

I do not understand bling.

Or jewelry in general.

Do clocks work?

@Sterno Me neither.

That thing's just begging for a small child to get it's finger stuck in it

@KevinvanderVelden Whoa. That's awesome

@SaintWacko skeleton clocks are awesome =p

@Frank the only non-smart watch I have that works anymore is one my grandpa gave me

@SaintWacko I specifically went with a pure mechanical one.

Simply because they require much less maintenance, and I love to see such works of art.

> The Intense Bundle

Infinite Space III looks cool

Questrun is a lot of fun.

Gomo has nice art.

Grey Matter looks like boobs

@GnomeSlice The Intents Bundle

@SaintWacko I get it.

@GnomeSlice Good!

It doesn't work quite as well in writing

@GnomeSlice I assume that's a good thing? Boobs in general look good.

@Arperum The reviews on Steam are extremely positive too, if you like adventure games.

@5pike I keep thinking you're retrosaur.

Ugh, new judge foils announced

So much want.

@Wipqozn Sorry, I'm not.

But so far, nothing bad happened.

but yeah, boobs

I need to take the level 1 test asap

@OrigamiRobot you only want the shiny cards =p

@KevinvanderVelden ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

@OrigamiRobot Wow

@Wipqozn Oh damn it now I will too

@OrigamiRobot ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiny?

@OrigamiRobot That's a nice background...or whatever yo call it

@BenBrocka I love the old border. Especially on artifacts.

@BenBrocka I've been partial to calling it the frammaculous.

Arg the eternal dilemma of whether correcting a typo is worth repinging

What's the old one?

@GraceNote The text box is all rainbowy!

Artifacts are usually just a browny-rust

Border males sense

@GnomeSlice I currently have no plans on buying any more games. I am planning on getting a tattoo (pricey because big) and I keep going to concerts and paying for these.

@BenBrocka You're on a role here.

We Need To Go Deeper is now on Steam Greenlight

This reminds me muchly of FTL

@GnomeSlice No we don't.

@Wipqozn It's the game title.

It's a dumb title, but the game looks great.

@Arperum Instead of getting a Tattoo you should just send me some money.

@GraceNote ...dammit

@Wipqozn Nope. Not gonna happen. Tattoo might have to wait for now even, because buying a house and all that.

@Wipqozn handsomeness still not a universally accepted method of paying?

I don't know whether to love or hate this one.

@OrigamiRobot well you can't read it so you probably can't use it so hate it?

@KevinvanderVelden You can use it.

@OrigamiRobot in what language?

Is the proper use to throw it on the field and start speaking in tongues until your opponent flees in terror?

@KevinvanderVelden There are no language restrictions on cards.

=/

@BenBrocka Pretty much.

That sucks, how can the other person verify it does what you say it does?

@OrigamiRobot I'm assuming that's a made up language?

@KevinvanderVelden It's got a high cost they'll believe it does whatever you say it does, that's the beauty of it

@KevinvanderVelden By looking it up or asking a judge.

At least I think that's a high cost

It's a pretty notable card.

@BenBrocka 5 colorless, 2 white, pretty high IIRC

The english version of this card, I think

Wait.. that's a dutch site

Oh well, you can still see the image =p

@OrigamiRobot I have no clue about Magic, but that sounds like a good card.

hax

@Frank Yes, Phyrexian.

Oh, that's supposed to be Phyrexian?

Did somebody say Cenobite

Damn, look at those abs

abs in your face

WELP RIKER IS SEDUCING WOMEN AGAIN

@GraceNote Considering that's one of the Phyrexian leaders, I assume so.

@RedRiderX scrolldowntoriker.com

I wouldn't know. I had almost forgotten Phyrexian was a thing, and also I kept confusing Thran and Phyrexian just now

@OrigamiRobot ... they're seriously releasing cards in MADE UP LANGUAGES?

WAIT SHE...

WAT

OH GAWD

@KevinvanderVelden It's a promotional card.

Oh, that makes more sense

@GraceNote Well, the Thran basically became phyrexians IIRC.

Anyone getting the Gen 3 pokemon remakes?

I only know two Thran cards anyway, both being ones I have

@BenBrocka Yes .... hehehe

@GraceNote wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/New_Phyrexia_%28plane%29

Them being Thran War Machine and Thran Golem

Gyro for lunch, or a club sub?

Gyro Sub

Gyros are better on pita

Use pita bread instead of wheat loaves then.

If it can still be considered a sub on pita, then I accept.

looks fantastic

@BenBrocka probably

@Sterno As long as you construct it like a sub, it's a sub.

@GraceNote Let me consult with Yahoo! Answers to verify.

I'll probably get Omega Ruby

@BenBrocka I'd have to look at the differences first, before deciding.

@GnomeSlice Mac Bouncy scroll ruins this :(

Yahoo! Answers has a pretty narrow definition of submarine sandwich.

> Submarine Sandwich is an Italian loaf of bread approximately 12 inches long an 3 inches wide, filled with boiled ham, hard salami, cheeses, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and sometimes flavored with garlic and oregano.

@fredley =[

Pita is Italian enough.

@GraceNote wat.

@GraceNote And "ham" and "lamb" sound similar enough.

@5pike presumably just the legendary, the exclusive pokemon from gen 3+ a smattering of kinda-exclusives from the following 3 gens mixed around. And the enemy team of course. I'd be impressed if it were more, but kinda doubt it after gen 6 reverted to almost no differences again after gen 5

@BenBrocka We'll see. Well, I could check out the Jap version when it comes around.

But first, I need to get into Pokemon Y

are the JP versions coming earlier? I thought they finally stopped doing that

XY was a single release date

Not sure why that would be flagged, but alright.

@BenBrocka Well, I'm just assuming. I have no idea if it comes out sooner.

I Think all they announced was november

@Frank "Jap" I would assume.

@BenBrocka Yup, that

Not sure if there is a Japanese version of the announcement video with another date on it though

They didn't show off anything except for the box art and the release month

@PrivatePansy If it's a single release date, the better.

As much fun as I have with Pokemon, I don't think I can do another version this gen. I stopped playing X pretty much after beating the Elite Four.

hopefully they'll do more postgame content than gen 3 otherwise had

I was kinda disappointed that in HG/SS kanto is still just as lifeless as it always was in G/S

@BenBrocka They typically do in the x.5 releases of each gen, but I'm just going to wait-and-see.

Give a month or so before I even think about buying it.

A November release is way too close to the MH4 release for me to even consider buying it on release day.

I need more boxes for local pokemon storage, and would like atl east one gen 6 physical game so I'll get it either way

DATA DOING SHAKESPEARE

NICE

you know what time it is... its CAT GIF TIME

@agent86 it is always cat gif time

@KevinvanderVelden damn straight.

nice, youtube has proper analytics for playlists now

less nice, they confirm my suspicious that very few people watch playlists, and most bail after a video or two

Am I the only one who still talks about games in here

@BenBrocka Do they tell you if the playlists are the auto-generated ones like "Popular Uploads"?

I don't think it includes auto-generated ones

nah looks like manually made only

@GnomeSlice I always join in when a games conversation starts at least, but I can't really start one because most of the games I play these days are all really niche

I'm playing a modded JC2 game at the moment. and this silly farmville 2 game on my phone. (I have a sheep now!). and titanfall in the evenings, unless EB's around, in which case we are co-oping splinter cell blacklist.

@GnomeSlice yes, games are forbidden here

AND THUS I HAVE TALKED ABOUT GAMES

> "Life Insurance: It's like hugging your kid with money"

@PanicBomb Doesn't stop me.

so this quarter I had 76,000 views, 2,000 of which were on playlists

blacklist co-op is pretty good. there's a good variety of missions, each one takes about an hour or so. something like 12 hours worth of co-op neck-snapping

I'm also pretty self-conscious about filling the chat with stuff nobody cares about.

I've determined that splinter cell is essentially assasin's creed but with more guns. I think if they ever did an open world splinter cell I would die from clicking the "buy" button too many times

@PanicBomb Doesn't stop me either!

@GnomeSlice I know :P

Nobody clicks any of the links I post any more.

I've been finishing Kirby Triple Deluxe and have several unstarted games to get too sooner or later

in my JC2 game, I've got god mode, infinite ammo, super-long grappling hook, superman flight, and C4-nukes. it's a riot! I may 100% the achievements it again on PC just for the lulz

Oh wait I have been playing the new Mario Golf I guess

that's mainstream-ish

then titanfall, just finished all the campaign missions, although I think our team won like 6/18, so I have a long way to go if I want the "win them all" achievement. at least I have the ogre now...

Finished Rain which was really good though Im' sure 95% of people wouldn't care about it

and farmville 2 country escape is doing pretty well, just launched a wiki so we'll see how that goes.

I want a microtranscation for that game where I get to punch eagle eye eddie in the balls. I would pay $5 for that.

"You want HOW MUCH MILK? GO TO HELL!" ($5, $5, $5, $5, etc)

@agent86 Easily worth that.

@Coronus he wants ninety milk today. ninety. that's 270 wheat force-fed to my poor cow.

@agent86 Ouch. If I came over and rubbed your cow, would that make you feel better?

@Coronus maybe :(

oh, you might be interested in or have info for: wiki.withoutthesarcasm.com/wiki/Farmville_2_Country_Escape

> Interestingly, Kitfox was careful not to push in-app purchases for Shattered Planet, a move that was universally praised by fans and media alike but also significantly cut into the amount of money the game could have made had the team been more aggressive. While the game has not yet generated significant revenue for the company, Short said that as a tool to grow a fan base and cement their credibility, it has worked incredibly well.

montrealgazette.com/business/Inside+game+three+takes/9809243/…

there's a lot of them that I either don't know the level it unlocks on or I don't know how much they're worth to various buyers

You know Picard is melancholy when he's quoting Shakespeare.

@BenBrocka The way I use playlists is basically to see if there is something new in a specific series of videos, and then watch that specific video, I'll almost never watch the whole playlist.

I use playlists to group videos (usually of a whole game) since it's often a pain in the ass to find the next video in a series without the playlist (the suggestions will often show other videos in the series, but not necessarily the top)

@BenBrocka Youtube suggestions are horrible

Like, the worst thing ever

When I'm on video 2 of 10, with all clearly labled and numbered, it'll often do something like show me videos 5 and 9 in the top 2 slots of the suggestions

so I put "series playlists" so it's easy to find the next vid but apparently not many people use them

I like using playlists but don't find useful ones very often.

@BenBrocka I very much appreciate when people do this

@BenBrocka Wow. I would think they would be used for series. I use them like that.

@PanicBomb Yes, especially when the "Watch this next!" is ep. 10 and I'm still on 4.

Can I please have this now or what

@GnomeSlice The description and the video don't make sense to me. Are all of those other players copies of you?

@Coronus Yes.

@PanicBomb unfortunately most of us weren't ABLE to do this until recently. They briefly let everyone make series playlists, then they made them only for partner networks, now they're for everyone again

I always make them but I don't usually do long series any more so I haven't gotten all too much benefit from it

@GnomeSlice Then that's not controlling time, or creating alternate timelines. Still a cool concept.

What's the difference between a series playlist and a regular playlist?

series playlists automatically show up on all videos in the playlist, like at the right/bottom of this video here: youtube.com/watch?v=sNRhLLZ74Wk

Ah, hmm

Oh, and normal playlisted videos only display the playlist controls if you access that video through a playlist, I suppose

I never really thought about it too closely

They could make it a lot more apparent

@BenBrocka released worldwide on November 2014

@BenBrocka That's just too convenient. Make the viewers work for their entertainment!

@Krazer I think they realized internet trading makes staggered release a lame idea
