They're in a container designed to look like an NES controller. How cool is that?!

@Powerlord There's a reason why I threw out the Tic-Tacs and keep only the container.

@GraceNote I saw one of those too! If it were alive, I totally would have run screaming/killed it/called 911 or something!!!

FallenAngelEyes

He's an exotic animal, so he needs papers proving that he was born in captivity

@FallenAngelEyes Hee, they are cute, too.

FallenAngelEyes

But I bought him from a daughter of my mom's friend like 15 years ago

Tim Stone

@GraceNote There was a massive one in the basement of my Philadelphia apartment once, a good two and a half to three inches long.

FallenAngelEyes

12:24 AM

and the pet store she got him from is out of business

So I can't really bring him here T_T

Grace Note

@TimStone That's not a giant centipede. That's like, a centipede.

John

Um...yeah...

FallenAngelEyes

So my parents are looking for someone to sell him to cuz he's getting to be a lot for them to take care of :(

Tim Stone

It's giant for this area. :P

Grace Note

That's like the size of the one that crawled up my leg one night.

Giant centipedes can eat rats.

FallenAngelEyes

^I'm not fond of those things

centipedes I mean

Tim Stone

Sounds delicious

FallenAngelEyes

Rats are cool

Grace Note

Of course I did kinda scream at that centipede, but, well, it crawled very high up my leg. I accidentally threw it into my fireplace in my panic.

FallenAngelEyes

Tim Stone

So are tigers, except when they try to eat you.

@GraceNote Poor poor centipede...

FallenAngelEyes

That's a crappy way to die, even for a centipede :<

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes It wasn't lit, thankfully.

Tim Stone

I feel like the reflexes necessary to grab the centipede and toss it with perfect accuracy into the fireplace only further proves your ninja-like qualities.

FallenAngelEyes

ah okies

Grace Note

But I think I mangled a leg or two while grabbing it.

FallenAngelEyes

12:29 AM

Not sure what to do. Time to go fishing in Chantelise!

@FallenAngelEyes That's probably a pass on the BURN IT WITH FIRE then.

Hm, that reminds me, I should finish up stuff in Bastion and then start looking for a new game.

I'm still playing Age of Empires 3!

Powerlord

@FallenAngelEyes Have you tried The Patch?

FallenAngelEyes

@Powerlord Not yet

Powerlord

And no, I don't know of a patch that removes Fishing, it's just a cigarette reference.

Tim Stone

12:39 AM

Heh, I bought Age of Empires 3 in Walmart way back whenever, got home, opened it up, and found out that someone had stolen the CDs from the case.

John

@TimStone Ouch. It wasn't shrink wrapped?

I have like 3 copies of it and each of the expansions.

Tim Stone

No, which should have been an obvious clue. But since it had that sleeve around it I guess I just didn't pay enough attention.

John

@TimStone Yeah I don't like sleeves like that. They get in the way too much.

Tim Stone

Luckily they allowed me to swap it for one that had CDs, so it all worked out in the end. And yeah, I've got the expansions as well.

John

@TimStone Glad it worked out! I just got it working in wine, though some of the triggers in the campaigns are messing up.

Powerlord

12:42 AM

- Added TF birthday replacement models for health kits and ammo packs
- Added TF birthday Party Hat and Noisemaker

I wonder what those look like.

Tim Stone

Ah, nice. I might have to go back and play it some more, I haven't touched it in a while.

John

@TimStone Me neither. I surprised myself with how excited I got watching the intro again.

To be fair, the mental image of these two sharing a corn dog together, is, uh, kind of unsettling.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Manaಠдಠ Well yes, but it's unsettling in an entirely wholesome, non-sexual, inoffensive way.

Unsettling like clowns. And the Olsen Twins. And GnomeSlice's tagging habits.

Tim Stone

To be fair, I'm actually just as disturbed by the source images as I am by the other one. These have the benefit of not being annoyingly animated, but that's a minor detail.

Mana ಠдಠ

You know, GnomeSlice was talking to me about leaving the site.

Tim Stone

Really? That's not very chill.

Yeah. He's kind of tired of all the crap people on here give him all the time.

@Manaಠдಠ :( That would be sad.

I don't mean to give him crap. :/ I just like starring things that are all in caps.

Mana ಠдಠ

Well

maybe that was putting it harshly

Grace Note

@Manaಠдಠ Hum. That would be unideal.

Tim Stone

On the one hand, I guess after a certain point I'd start getting annoyed too. On the other hand, I didn't post on Cooking about smashing potatoes with my forehead. So I'm kind of conflicted. :/

That and the whole implementation of the fight being that most of your equipment is useless and you can't get gems and all that jazz.

@JohnGore It is more of a running joke. :/

Kind of like the fact that @arda is going to make a terrible mod.

Grace Note

No, it doesn't make it funny that he is seriously considering leaving the site. Which is why, like I said, it's not ideal.

Honestly I think part of it was made worse by the fact that people waited until after he was suspended to start harping on him and calling him a troll.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GraceNote Yeah, it's only funny when it goes both ways IMO.

John Gore

2:21 AM

On my resolution, that message stops at "calling him a tr..." in the starred list.

Grace Note

I can't blame him for seeing it as talking about him behind his back - it's basically like people waited until he's gone and then break out all of these negative points on him.

John Gore

I can only imagine what could be inserted in there.

@GraceNote That happened?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@JohnGore Wait wait wait are you trying to imply that @gnomeslice is a... a... a... Troubadour?

Grace Note

@JohnGore The moment he got chat-suspended, people pretty much broke out into pointing him out as a troll. Yes, his meta post being in the wrong place and being insistent in an intentionally poor form didn't really help his case, but the timing was horrible and no one ever complained about that to @GnomeSlice directly.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Troubadour

A troubadour (, ; , , originally ) was a composer and performer of Occitan lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages (1100–1350). Since the word "troubadour" is etymologically masculine, a female troubadour is usually called a trobairitz. The troubadour school or tradition began in the 11th century in Occitania, but it subsequently spread into Italy, Spain, and even Greece. Under the influence of the troubadours, related movements sprang up throughout Europe: the Minnesang in Germany, trovadorismo in Galicia and Portugal, and that of the trouvères in northern France. Dante Alighieri in ...

Their original releases were in 2006 and 2005 respectively, but they were localized only last year and this year respectively.

Oh, I might as well recommend Sora while I'm at it, but that hasn't been translated. Nevertheless, good for gamepad. A lot of import games are great for gamepad.

@Ascendant I'd also count shmup games in there as well

If you like those sorts of games

Yeah, been playing Assassin's creed and DMC4 they're great
