Also, after we came down the mountain we found an old temple which collects more inscriptions carved into stones. Also, a naturally weathered rock shaped like a frog sitting in the middle of a Koi pond

@Powerlord I just finished the second trail in PW/PL....it was SO LONG. I got kinda bored partway through it.
 
@AshleyNunn :|
 
user15026
I know they were trying to establish the culture of Labyrinthia and whatever but I was like "I get it someone else did it lets find out who"
 
user15026
Although that new multiple witnesses questioning thing could be interesting
 
5:10 PM
@AshleyNunn It leads to some... interesting... things in later cases.
Also, I was surprised by the choice of prosecutors in the last case, which is TOTALLY not Edgeworth in a mask.
(which is incidentally the truth considering the last prosecutor isn't Edgeworth and isn't wearing a mask)
 
user15026
Good to know.
 
I think I mentioned I like trolling people with completely fake statements (or suspiciously specific denials) about recently released games.
 
@OrigamiRobot He part of the new set?
 
@juanvan Yea
 
sweet
 
user15026
5:16 PM
@Powerlord Oh, I've noticed.
 
going to play tonight at the FFGS
 
I'll also remind you that recent Phoenix Wright games have had the last prosecutor also be the same as the prosecutor for the other trials.
 
user15026
It's been a while since I played a PW game.
 
@AshleyNunn A new one came out last year...
 
user15026
@Powerlord I know, I didn't play it
 
5:18 PM
It was even on sale on the 3DS eShop during the CapCom sale a few weeks back.
I was actually disappointed with how they killed of Apollo Justice during the first case.
 
Thank you for breaking my Excel file, Steam Card Exchange
 
(yes, I'm trolling you again)
Oh yeah, the English rom patch for the second Edgeworth game is supposed to have a final release sometime soon
 
user15026
@Powerlord apathetic shrug
 
@Wipqozn What was that anime with the airships?
 
@fredley I can't remember. I also can't remember who mentioned it in chat. Let me see if I can find it.
 
5:26 PM
@Wipqozn Pretty sure it was you
*Stares with furrowed brow*
 
Found it. Last Exile.
It wasn't me, but someone brought it up due to us talking about FMAB,.
Luckily I haven't cleared my browser histoyr since I watched the intro video.
 
FAE
@fredley Last Exile
Oh, he found it
It's excellent
I have the DVD set with a little figurine
 
I had that in my Netflix queue, but it's apparently not on Netflix anymore.
 
Good good. Next on my watch list
 
FAE
been a long time since I've seen it
 
5:31 PM
Should I watch sub or dub?
 
FAE
depends on your preference, I watched sub so I can't vouch for the dub quality
 
@JasonBerkan Netflix is weird when it comes to anime... it has some, then those are gone... and sometimes missing entire episodes
my biggest problem with Netflix right now is not a single miyazaki film ;l
 
FAE
time to play Destiny, woo
2
 
@FAE How would you say it compares to FMA?
@FAE Is it your DESTINY to play DESTINY? HAHAHAHAHA
 
FAE
@Wipqozn FMAB is better, quality-wise, I think? It's also been like 10 years since I've seen it. The animation was really great for its time.
 
5:36 PM
@FAE I'm thinking in terms of story and characters.
 
@FAE YOU. ARE. THE. WORST!
 
FAE
@Wipqozn I really really enjoyed it when I watched it, end gets a little weird IIRC, but like I said, it's been a really long time, so hard to say in comparison to something I've seen in the past 2 years.
 
@OrigamiRobot what's wrong with Destiny?
 
@murgatroid99 choice of platforms
 
5:38 PM
@FAE Okay. I miht give it a try.
 
@FAE STAHP
 
@FAE MOAR
 
@KevinvanderVelden You mean that it's not on PC?
 
@OrigamiRobot I've heard many complaints from people that the game isn't living up to expectations.
 
@murgatroid99 essentially, yes
 
5:38 PM
@murgatroid99 THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH DESTINY. THERE IS EVERYTHING WRONG WITH @FAE FLAUNTING DESTINY
 
@murgatroid99 he doesn't like that he doesn't have it.
 
FAE
I wonder if I can die in the intro area
 
@KevinvanderVelden If I cared about that, I would have stopped buying Halo games long ago
 
@Wipqozn I PLAYED THE BETA. IT IS AMAZING.
 
@OrigamiRobot I got my copy yesterday
 
FAE
5:39 PM
Yep!
 
@murgatroid99 ALSO THE WORST
 
@OrigamiRobot So far, I haven't gotten past the part that was in the beta
 
The people saying Destiny is lackluster were going into it in the wrong frame of mind. It's not an MMO.
 
I take it @OrigamiRobot is not on the list of platforms Destiny was released for
 
they were expecting to be wow'd by 100s of different enemies and vast open worlds
Destiny is very "quality over quantity"
 
5:40 PM
@Rapitor I think part of the problem is that it's less than what they originally showed when they revealed it
 
@murgatroid99 WHY ARE YOU STILL TALKING TO ME ABOUT IT?!?!?!?!
 
@murgatroid99 where? It looks like exactly what was showed.
 
@murgatroid99 Hitting level 9 was like becoming a god
 
@Rapitor Stuff like the random events that people would gather together and fight. I haven't seen that yet
 
@Batophobia idk... Venus is friggin horrifying...
 
5:41 PM
@murgatroid99 Yea saw several of those
 
@murgatroid99 they are around. pretty common on Xb1 anyway.
 
@Batophobia Then maybe I'm just not far enough in
 
maybe its a server issue
 
Then again I've always chosen the "Hard" option for missions
 
FAE
@murgatroid99 I did a bunch of PQs during beta
 
5:42 PM
@murgatroid99 They only notify the nearby players that it is happening
 
They appear more often in "explore" gametypes, story missions rarely spawn them
 
FAE
just run around in explore mode
yeah
 
More Destiny!! Noooo!!
 
not sure about strikes but I doubt it
 
If ya don't have a 4k tv your not playing it right!!
maybe
 
5:43 PM
meh graphics are not everything
 
If you like what Bungie does (create expansive universes with insane backstory), then Destiny is pretty much perfect for you

Q: Planetary Annihilation: What is the difference between "roam" and "maneuver" commands?

JoshWhen selecting certain units (tanks, for example) there's a button near the bottom of the commands bar where I can choose "Maneuver" or Roam." I can't tell what these do. (PS: This seems to be the first question about Planetary Annihilation. Would someone with more rep than me kindly create the ...

 
well I am sure noone purchased it for the soundtrack
 
FAE
@Rapitor I've never played a Halo game but I enjoyed the beta quite a bit
 
@juanvan I didn't get it for the soundtrack, but it definitely played a BIG part in my desicion
 
5:45 PM
@Rapitor There's a reason I've bought every halo game and book.
 
@juanvan Soundtrack is really good
 
@juanvan you underestimate Marty O'Donnell.
 
Never underestimate something you have never heard; the one m83 did for Oblivion made me see that movie
 
FAE
> When you get to rank 15 on ANY of your characters, you unlock the subclass for all future characters immediately.
Oh sweet! I thought it was per character.
 
Like
 
FAE
5:51 PM
This guy got to 17 on his Titan and unlocked that subclass, rolled a Hunter, and Bladedancer was already unlocked for him.
Awesome.
 
Although is it only future characters or all characters period?
 
@juanvan I haven't bought it yet, but honestly the soundtrack alone is making me want it
 
FAE
@Batophobia not sure
 
@Ktash I know!
 
@Ktash have you heard the class themes? that will probably put you over the edge
 
5:58 PM
So no NHL 15 discussions?
 
@Batophobia shhhh
 
@Lazers remember when untagged was a thing we had to worry about?
 
@Rapitor I've been avoiding all sorts of ish about it, because if I buy it means buying that and a PS4. And funemployment does not support this habit well
 
@Ktash I should have a listen to it then
 
@Ktash Destiny is on PS3 and 360
 
5:59 PM
@Ktash idk if you would but it's free with XB1 purchase this week. definitely cheaper
 
@Batophobia but why buy the game multiple times?
 
also last gen consoles to have an upgrade system set up
 
unless somehow there's a crossbuy system
which almost certainly is not a thing
 
@Rapitor No. I'm not gonna get that crap. I'm done with halo, which was the only reason I would have bought it anyway. But after that consumer hostile crap they tried to pull, XB1 is not going to happen
 
@badp Because you can get the "GotY editon" on PC with all the DLC and better graphics
 
6:00 PM
@Batophobia yeah, just buy that one
 
@Batophobia But my PS3 will be obsolete sooner rather than later, and I'd rather not loose another game with it lol
 
@Ktash My PS3 was traded up to a WiiU, which got more using in a week than a PS3 did in a year
 
My PS3 is a netflix machine, and a KH machine. That is its only purpose
 
Did PS3 get a KH?
 
Oh, I guess and a bluray player
 
6:02 PM
@Batophobia Sadly, no.
 
*non-remix
 
@Batophobia HD remasters, yes. II will be coming out soon
 
KH3 hope was one of the reasons I got a PS3
Smash Brothers hype is why that PS3 changed to a WiiU
 
@Batophobia the more "hype" I see for new Smash just furthers my concern its just be a be a bloated unbalanced pile of dookey,

Q: What new gameplay mechanics are in the New Super Smash Bros. for Wii & 3DS?

meme scientistWhat new gameplay mechanics are in the New Super Smash Bros. for Wii& 3DS? I have the gameplay demo on my 3DS right now, but a lot of it seems somewhat similar to Brawl, at the very least. Are there any significant gameplay mechanics added in the latest iteration? For example, I remember in Braw...

 
6:05 PM
@Ktash I so want the HD Remix collector's edition.
 
@Frank The JPN one?
 
Speaking of Smash Bros
 
@Batophobia Hahahahaha. That was optimistic
 
@Ktash Preferably an NA one.
 
6:06 PM
@Rapitor Why would you say that about Rosalina or the Wii Fit Trainer? >:|
(or was it Little Mac that sounded completely unbalanced, I forget)
 
@Powerlord Or Miis
 
But at least ours was announced, so probably only 7-10 more years of waiting
:P to you HL3
 
@Ktash What, Gabe Newell has confirmed that HL3 is in development.
 
@Frank None have been announced yet, I don't think. Well, except the really crappy "here's a Disney pin because we suck" one
 
I forget when that was... I want to say back in January.
 
6:07 PM
Kingdom Nukem: Forever
 
@Powerlord with each new character they confirm it just makes it harder to believe the game will have any balance. Brawl was already pretty bad. balance in a fighting game should be #1 priority, not "how many random characters can we cram in here"
 
@Rapitor makes the Duck Hunt dog giggle sound
 
 
@Ktash I know. I'm just going to continue hoping.
 
6:11 PM
@Ktash Do you wanna build a snow man?
 
@Frank Me too. Me too
 
~Do you wanna build a snowman, and kill your parents with a song... That would be really mean, and maybe quite obscene, and really wroooooong. But that's what we are doing, you and I~ and I'm getting tired of making up these lyrics, especially since I can't hear the song to make sure the timing fits.
 
@Powerlord It's close. A couple syllables are a little crunched. But well done
 
@Ktash That's the part that adds to it
 
So ... the next Phoenix Wright game will have Sherlock Holmes and Watson in it. This is Watson. Iris Watson, to be precise:
File that under "WTF Japan?"
 
6:16 PM
@MartinSojka Is it going to be Phoenix Holmes Wright?
 
Why is watson getting converted to a woman in all these modern adaptations? What, people are afraid of gay subtext... oh, right
 
As you can clearly read, she's eight. And has a PhD.
 
I'm just gonna go on record and say that, demo or not, Smash isn't out yet. I've voted to close that question.
 
@Fluttershy Cue angry ranting in 3...2...1...
 
I kinda doubt there will be any sexual subtext between Holmes and Watson in that game. On the other hand, it's Japan we're talking about ...
 
6:19 PM
shrug
 
@MartinSojka Good heavens
 
@Fluttershy same
 
I personally think a demo is good enough to base it off of, but I can definitely see where you're coming from.
 
@MartinSojka Yeah, this. Look at the character design. If it doesn't happen, it will be completely unexpected
 
@MartinSojka Oh right, I forgot they were doing one set in the past.
 
@Frank :Not really. While the demo might show you 10% of the game, we can't answer questions like that without the full game
 
@Batophobia We can answer what we can from the demo, and expand it when the game comes out.
 
@Ktash Oh yeah, I saw that.
 
I don't know ... I kinda liked the good old veteran of the Afghanistan war, kick-ass box champion, sharpshooter, kinda gay Watson. Not sure why you'd need to change him that much. shrug
 
I do wonder what they plan to do to fix it.
 
6:22 PM
Either way, though, I have zero issue with unreleased close votes.
 
Probably use CCleaner or something.
 
6:35 PM
Gah, the Destiny bundle is sucking me in. Someone halp
 
@Ktash I heard it's repetitive and boring.
 
@StrixVaria That's what I've heard too, but that hasn't stopped other people here from buying it.
 
I am definitely enjoying Destiny.
(cc @OrigamiRobot)
 
IGNORED
 
I'm in the "don't want to buy a console so I'm not going to" camp, personally
 
6:41 PM
I have no plans at the moment of buying a current gen console. And if you call them "next gen" consoles, I will personally take a (digital) knife and (digitally) stab you.
 
@OrigamiRobot What about The Stomping Land? I heard that removed from steam?
 
Good ol' Skyrim, keeping the front page from being mono-Destiny.
@Ktash <smack>
Better? Also, sorry.
 
@Unionhawk I DON'T CARE THAT IT'S A CONSOLE, I CARE THAT IT'S ONE GAME I WANT
IN REGARDS TO CONSOLE VS PC, I SAY GET WHATEVER HAS THE GAMES YOU WANT TO PLAY
 
@OrigamiRobot So... you're saying I should stick with my 3DS?
 
@StrixVaria Halpful
 
6:47 PM
SURE
 
By a raise of hands, who thinks Destiny needs to come to Steam?
\o/
double vote
 
lol
 
By raise of hands, who thinks the Sun will nova before that happens?
 
As in I'm not going to buy a console to play one game, not as in hashing pcmasterrace
 
o/
 
6:47 PM
@RPiAwesomeness can I negative vote that?
 
@Yuuki WHY?
 
@Ktash lol
 
BUNGIE HAS EXPRESSED INTEREST
 
@Unionhawk Clearly you're not a KH fan
 
Oh wait, it's Activision.
 
6:48 PM
Would be AMAZING
 
@OrigamiRobot what console would you get it on?
 
You know, it saddens me that Bungie teamed up with Activision of all companies.
 
For some reason, I conflated it with Titanfall and thought it was EA-backed.
 
Does anybody know why my edit here was rejected?
 
And thus hell would freeze over (or Hel would boil over) before EA lets it go on Steam.
 
6:49 PM
@juanvan IF I WERE GETTING A CONSOLE, IT WOULD PROBABLY BE PS4
 
m$ <-> Acthation
 
Well, granted, EA would have been worse, but it still seems like even MS is a better fit than Activision.
 
@Ktash haha dont look at me I got a digital copy of the game last night to avoid that but some how still got that guardian edition instead :D
 
BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY BASED ON MUCH
 
^^ PS4 is my choice atm
even as an xbox ambassador I could not get a Once
 
6:50 PM
@juanvan It'd be mine too... but then one of my friends went and bought an XBone.
 
@juanvan I would agree, but I'm not getting a console
PS4 seems generally faster than the Xbone
 
@TheGuywithTheHat The changes were marginal and the added brackets on the image are not necessary.
 
The fact PS4 is give you A+ games is a whole reason to its' self
 
@TheGuywithTheHat Edit reasons don't quite match in my opinion. @Frank ?
 
"Both neither worked" is also not correct English.
@Ktash "Both neither worked" is an incorrect edit, imo.

@TheGuywithTheHat I dunno looks like it improved it to me.
 
Except I can't Vote To Close on Area51
 
6:51 PM
@James Honestly, it's a side-grade more than an improvement.
 
Ahh the brackets.. That could indeed be an issue :D
 
@TheGuywithTheHat The only useful thing in there was clickifying the picture. Everything else was completely unnecessary.
 
@Yuuki I go around changing posts to make them read easier all the time.. I just do not need to get my edits approved :D
 
Seriously, I have 251 rep on Aera51 and can't even flag proposals any more?
When did that change?

6:53 PM
Yeah, but I figured that while I was editing it, I should improve it in any way I can.

> both neither worked.

also didn't help.

flags Area51 for being broken
 
The flag reasons aren't very helpful
Offensive, spam, or Needs Moderator. Nothing about dupes or anything
 
@TheGuywithTheHat Except they weren't improvements.
 
@Ktash Well clearly it just needs a moderator :)
 
Iiiinteresting. https lets me browse Arqade
 
6:59 PM
@StrixVaria We talked about this earlier today, basically the "bad" reviews are from people playing it with the wrong frame of mind and expecting a different game from what was advertised.
 
Ugh, I've hit the apathy phase of RF4.
 
@RPiAwesomeness Can I give it two thumbs down?
 
@Frank Why on earth would you do that?

7:10 PM
@RPiAwesomeness I'm tired of Destiny hype?
 
lol
@Frank That is a valid thing, but not a reason to not want Destiny for PC. That's the only way I would be able to get it!
 
Now, if they were talking Destiny as in super huge space ship launched hundreds of thousands of years ago, I'd be right there all the way.
 
I was looking at the site for English as a Second Language Learning English and saw a question on ellipses... but not a single person on there noted in comments or answers that than never before in the example the user gave is improper English.
 
@Frank But then you'd be stuck in Grey's Anatomy IN SPACE!
 
@RPiAwesomeness @Frank AND @FEichinger ARE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO OUT-GRUMP ONE ANOTHER

They've announced like four different LE3DS models today. That one, two for Smash, and one more Ican't remember

Well... "New 3DS LL" in Japan.

Q: Can a player get rewards for Hard difficulty if the mission was already beaten on Easy?

BatophobiaWhen choosing a destination, the difficulty selection becomes available. When hovering over each, there always seems to be a difference in the amount of XP awarded based on what difficulty you choose. If you play a level through on Easy, can you later play it on Hard and get the extra XP bonus?...
