The Bridge

badp

00:10

so I only have one question

why the hell does Spec Ops The Line have online multiplayer?

Yuki

@badp So it can mock bog-standard FPS even more?

I have no clue, just throwing things out there.

Wipqozn

@RedRiderX That's a good episode.

badp

> Against Davis' wishes, development on the multiplayer component proceeded and was farmed out to multiple studios before ending up at Darkside Studios. The result, according to Davis, was a "low-quality Call of Duty clone in third-person," which "tossed out the creative pillars of the product." "It sheds a negative light on all of the meaningful things we did in the single-player experience," Davis said.

Wipqozn

@RedRiderX Was that the one where he hurt his back?

badp

> "The multiplayer game's tone is entirely different, the game mechanics were Wipqozn'd to make it happen, and it was a waste of money. No one is playing it, and I don't even feel like it's part of the overall package - it's another game rammed onto the disk like a cancerous growth, threatening to destroy the best things about the experience that the team at Yager put their heart and souls into creating."

RedRiderX

00:18

@Wipqozn There are so many!

@Wipqozn Wait what?

No

badp

I think the shorter version is that those who made the call didn't read the design docs at all

RedRiderX

But he says "Brother!" a lot

Wipqozn

oh, that one!

That's a good one. Kurn rocks.

Yuki

Ah, executive meddling. That would've been my second guess. Although there would only be two reasons Spec Ops had multiplayer.

There are too many free fonts

The obvious conclusion is that I don't need to buy that Ikoid bundle now

:P

GnomeSlice

holy what

Monument Valley is on Android?

@RedRiderX No, that's not it. The games on iKoid are all 'honest android games'. The ones on the honest store aren't all free. Most of them probably aren't.

It just means you won't see any games with bullshit energy mechanics or spammy ads.

I didn't realize it was on Android.

I thought it was an iOS exclusive.

Now if only I could buy from GPlay...

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice No credit card?

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX Correct.

RedRiderX

You can buy google play credit in like walmart and stuff

GnomeSlice

Not in Canada

RedRiderX

Oh yeah

I saw them in Walmart the other day

user15026

@Stizzle84 not sure what age has to do with it

user15026

I don't even remember doing it

user15026

but chances are it was likely because something you did or said annoyed me

user15026

@GnomeSlice oh man, I forgot that was even a thing

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn I know right?

Stizzle84

01:49

How can i do something that annoys u ash u cant see me

user15026

@Yuki midway through the second. Talking to @WorldEngineer, so I will finish it later :) (But man I love coming up with theories as to who did things. I have a decent one brewing for this ep.)

spugsley

MY SMUT PART WOULD BE TOP NOTCH THANK YOU

@spugsley That goes without question.

@Yuki oh man, that's broken :(

Yuki

It's mobile. That explains everything.

Stizzle84

What is your favorite movie

user15026

@Yuki That it does.

Yuki

@Ashley Now I want to do a Castle watch party.

user15026

01:56

@Yuki Like we did for HIMYM? That was funsies.

Yuki

And I just learned that "Ashley" is in my Swype dictionary. So no more calling you "ash"!

@Ashley Yep, just like that.

Hmm... I should add everyone's username to my Swype dictionary...

user15026

@Yuki I don't mind if it is like a "oh god mobile three letter ping" desperation thing, but if you've got a keyboard that a dog an sit on.....

user15026

oh, weird, why did it do that

user15026

better now.

Yuki

We could do one tomorrow maybe.

user15026

02:00

@Yuki oooh, I do have the evening free, I only work til 5

Yuki

Funsies! Reminds me, I need to apply for a job. Hopefully before the high school summer rush.

There's a few bakeries nearby that I would be willing to work at.

user15026

@Yuki You don't mind watching back where I am?

user15026

@Yuki ooooh, then you might displace me as Bridge official cupcake-er

Yuki

@Ashley Oh, it'd be great. The first season was one of the best.

user15026

@Yuki sweet, I will finish s2 tonight then so we can watch 3

Yuki

02:03

Don't bakeries let their workers take home what doesn't sell at the end of the day or something?

S2? Wait, which episode should I be getting for tomorrow then?

user15026

sorry, e02

user15026

not s2

Yuki

And where froms?

user15026

Mine is a torrent of the season

user15026

I just got it from pirate bay

Yuki

02:05

Well, my interwebs should be on by the end of the night.

Hopefully.

First season of Castle had some of the best music too.

user15026

I like his daughter she is awesome

Yuki

@Ashley I know! She's the only teenager on TV that I like.

Bonus points, her actress cosplays regularly.

user15026

Nice :D

Yuki

She did Mara Jade once.

And she showed up to Comic-Con as Mal Reynolds.

user15026

@Yuki That is excellent

Q: Zelda 2-Forgot down thrust

Okay, so, I'm in the Great Palace in Zelda 2, and I never got the downward or upward thrust, and I'm at the part where I have to get past a stack of blocks that I'm on top of, and it seems that's the only way, and I tried to go back out but the force field won't let me, btw, I am using an emulato...

@spugsley I'm barely writing out short stories and blurbs. Don't think I can manage smut right now.

Wouldn't even know how to start.

Let alone finish (hurrhurr).

spugsley

@Yuki haha :) I think it's great practice. You have to describe everything so perfectly or it's horrible

@Yuki HAHAHA ORGASM JOKE

user15026

I have a few ideas for my first romance novel florping in my brain

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I love the twist at the end.

It's great.

StrixVaria

I am at a point in my novel where I'm like panicking because I'm actually getting to some of the really good parts to write, which I've been looking forward to for a long time, and now I have to actually write them and they won't be as good as I have in my head.

user15026

@GnomeSlice i was going to wait to get doctor life/shu's garden til I got paid but I bought doctor life because I am weak :P

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn :o

Let me know how it is!

user15026

03:00

@StrixVaria Have fun with it though, the getting it out on paper (or whatever). You can always edit later, but like....enjoy teh good bits!

user15026

@GnomeSlice I will :D

user15026

Happy to know you can get the Google Play cards?

GnomeSlice

Yeah, I'll probably get one at some point.

StrixVaria

@AshleyNunn Yeah that's what I'm doing. I'm in full first draft mode now, which means I just get things on paper and if there are issues I can always fix them later.

user15026

@GnomeSlice Makes it easier, at least. :)

StrixVaria

03:01

"paper"

user15026

@StrixVaria Excellent. I've just seen too many people start awesome things and then get stuck on like one part and edit over nad over and over and give up when it doesn't come out omg perfect

user15026

and if I remember your stuff right, it was awesome and I don't want that to happen

spugsley

@AshleyNunn omg you've just described me

StrixVaria

Like the relationship between the main character and the other main character has some pretty big flaws early on. I'm writing current scenes assuming the planned fixes are already in place.

But they're not yet.

user15026

@spugsley but you have been doing good lately

spugsley

@AshleyNunn true :D

I should jump on my bed to get some ideas of things to write.

user15026

I mean I am going to write horrendously fluffy romances, but that's what I like, so.

But I picked up where I left off, which is something I never did before!

(Instead of starting over.)

@StrixVaria yaaaaay! see, that is progress and that is awesome.

@AshleyNunn I can't seem to connect to Pirate Bay.

Mind sending me the .torrent file?

user15026

Those people are lame.

I wish I still had the story I wrote in elementary school. I won the Young Author Contest.

It was about dinosaurs and it was really bad.

Yuki

@AshleyNunn Up to you. I don't have a preference.

Origami Robot

It was called My Dinosaur Adventure.

GnomeSlice

I used to write stories about the adventures of my stuffed animals

user15026

@Yuki .mkv okay? (opens in VLC)

Then later I wrote one called Where the Triangle Takes You. It was about the Bermuda Triangle and, you guessed it, dinosaurs.

I did illustrations for it and everything

StrixVaria

03:09

I read an iteration from high school recently, and it was amazing to see how many of the same pieces were there, just arranged differently.

Origami Robot

Also, when I was a kid my aunt got me one of those personalized books. Like it was a story that they just put your name in and a few other personalized bits. It was about me traveling to hang out with dinosaurs and learning all about them. I got mad because the character that was supposed to be me was asking stupid questions that real life me already knew the answers to.

user15026

@Yuki Left you a note on Skype with the link to the folder. the ep is uploading. (I popped e04 in too, in case we wanna do two :P)

@OrigamiRobot False. Archaeopteryx is the best.

Although I guess you couldn't really call it a dinosaur, per say.

Origami Robot

Not a dinosaur

Edmontonia

Edmontonia was an armoured dinosaur, a part of the nodosaur family from the Late Cretaceous Period. It is named after the Edmonton Formation (now the Horseshoe Canyon Formation), the unit of rock it was found in. Description Edmontonia was bulky and tank-like at roughly 6.6 m (22 ft) long and 2 m (6.5 ft) high. It had small, ridged bony plates on its back and head and many sharp spikes along its back and tail. The four largest spikes jutted out from the shoulders on each side, two of which were split into subspines in some specimens. Its skull had a pear-like shape w...

I knew it was Edmon-something

Microraptor

Microraptor (Greek, μίκρος, mīkros: "small"; Latin, raptor: "one who seizes") was a genus of small, four-winged paravian (possibly dromaeosaurid) dinosaurs. Numerous well-preserved fossil specimens have been recovered from Liaoning, China. They date from the early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation (Aptian stage), 125 to 120 million years ago. Three species have been named (M. zhaoianus, M. gui, and M. hanqingi), though further study has suggested that all of them represent variation in a single species, which is properly called M. zhaoianus.

Coelurosauria

Coelurosauria (from Greek, meaning "hollow tailed lizards") is the clade containing all theropod dinosaurs more closely related to birds than to carnosaurs. Coelurosauria is a subgroup of theropod dinosaurs that includes compsognathids, tyrannosaurs, ornithomimosaurs, and maniraptorans; Maniraptora includes birds, the only dinosaur group alive today. Most feathered dinosaurs discovered so far have been coelurosaurs; Philip J. Currie considers it probable that all coelurosaurs were feathered. In the past, Coelurosauria was used to refer to all small theropods, although this classification...
