@ThomasMcDonald how are your last hours with the equalizer being?

Powerlord

That's hilarious. The package NewEgg shipped first is the one that hasn't arrived yet.

slow clap

Anyway, BRB... to change what's plugged in on this PC, I have to move it.

Q: Is there any way to predict where a star will show up?

Sometimes there are platforms and a star could be above or below them. By the time you see it, it's too late if you're not on the right path. It's frustrating that it breaks your streak and you have no control over it, because all you can do is guess. Is there anyway to know ahead of time wher...

@badp not being played

user30

user30

GnomeSlice

badp

this is genius

GnomeSlice

@badp ...why?

Does anyone know exactly what would be meant by 'a network rendering environment'?

badp

22:33

@GnomeSlice Small enderman take one block. Large enderman take many block. Dur.

GnomeSlice

...I wouldn't exactly call that 'genius'...

badp

I still like the idea and the execution.

Raven Dreamer

@badp did you see "The Ender Project?"

badp

nope

Raven Dreamer

Oh, that's because it's called "The Ender Experiment", actually:

►

badp

22:45

Oh I actually saw that

Grace Note

@Raven See the concept design on the in-design new champion?

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote Believe it!

FallenAngelEyes

@Raven, I'm 24 points off of being able to buy Morgana D:

Grace Note

Pfft

FallenAngelEyes

So close, yet so far sniffle

Grace Note

22:48

Well, I've got well over 6300 IP saved up, guess I can be patient on this one

Raven Dreamer

Just look how different Irelia is from her concept art, though.

I mean, she went from blue-green to red!

Colors! How do they work?!

Also, since I saw you discussing it earlier, @GraceNote, were you aware that Lux's ultimate is a Dragonball Z reference?

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer It's a lot of things reference, you could call it a Touhou reference as well

Considering Final Spark actually resembles it pretty clearly, too

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote Well, no, I mean that her ultimate is called "Finales Funkeln"

Which is German for "Final Flash"

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer Yes, exactly

Raven Dreamer

which is Vegeta's signature move.

Grace Note

22:52

She also has an accompanying memetic /joke to go along with it, too

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes O.o I read this as, "So close, yet so far. senile.

Grace Note

Chargin' her lazer and all that

@RavenDreamer That's why I said concept design, not just art

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer What? Who? Where? I don't know what you're talking about.

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote I think Lux has 3 jokes in total, which is more than most champs.

Double rainbow, what does it meeeeeeeeeeeeeean?

Grace Note

She's filled to the brim with references, it's awesome

Raven Dreamer

22:54

I regret buying the sorceress lux skin when it was on sale.

In game it's nice, but I can't stand the splash art.

FallenAngelEyes

@Raven do you want to play?

Grace Note

The Chinese art would be nicer

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes I really shouldn't. Have deadlines to meet.

Grace Note

Speaking of which, Chinese art for Frostfire Annie is adorable

FallenAngelEyes

Aw, okies

Powerlord

22:55

I've been wondering for a while... do people actually put 3 fingers on the top of their mouse when they use it?

user30

Yes

FallenAngelEyes

Morgana's Sinful Succulence skin is hilarious. WHY ARE MY COOKIES BURNT, WHYYYYYY!?

Grace Note

I... do, apparently, but I don't use all three

Powerlord

Having grown up in the era of two-button mice, I never have a finger on the scrollwheel

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes Hehe

Raven Dreamer

22:56

@GraceNote pics or GTFO!

user30

but on my magic mouse I tend to use however many feel appropriate

FallenAngelEyes

@Powerlord I keep 3 apparently, yes

user30

considering scroll functionality works whether I use 1 or 10 fingers

Raven Dreamer

@Powerlord I put three fingers on my mouse; one on the left mouse button, two on the right mouse button, the middle finger goes to man the middle mouse button when needed.

Also, way to make me self-conscious about how I wield my mouse.

Grace Note

Powerlord

22:58

@RavenDreamer I only keep two: index finger on left mouse button and middle finger on the right mouse button.

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote Fangs?

Powerlord

Also, this keyboard has a shorter right shift key than my old one, so expect some interesting new typos from me.

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer Just to make her more adorable I imagine

Powerlord

\ is next to the shift key instead of above enter.

Raven Dreamer

Oh, yeah, that's loads better.

Grace Note

22:59

Tolja

Raven Dreamer

For reference:

NA Lux looks like someone struck her in the face with a frying pan.

Powerlord

I keep accidentally hitting the buttons on the right side of the mouse. Good thing they aren't bound to anything by default in right-handed mode.

Raven Dreamer

@Powerlord My mouse has extra buttons are on the left sdie...

Powerlord

/i imagine this is because I have only two fingers on the top of the mouse.

user30

@Raven as does mine, they are incredibly useful

FallenAngelEyes

23:00

@RavenDreamer Why do they have different art? O.o

Powerlord

Oh look, there's one of the typos I mentioned.

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes Cultural aesthetic.

Grace Note

I don't know what started it, but I know that they just have different art for the Chinese version. Which is a bit important regarding Karthus, though.

Powerlord

I should probably try to adjust to the three finger thing.

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes And in at least one instance, because Chinese censor skeletons in games (Karthus, in this case).

Powerlord

23:01

Anyway, time to cook something for dinner.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote Does Karthus have a visible skeleton?

Ah, yes

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes Skull

Raven Dreamer

He is a lich champion.

FallenAngelEyes

Gotcha.

Raven Dreamer

Chinese art has just some glowing eyes in the depths of a cowl

FallenAngelEyes

23:02

I'm aware of the art censoring from MtG.

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer Ever seen him in Dominion?

I have a feeling he'll have quite the mighty annoying. Especially on point defense.

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer So he looks more like Richard

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote Once. It was irritating. Requiem out of nowhere for double kills

Grace Note

Yeah, actually, I think it's a bit easier to pull off multi-kills like that in Dominion. His passive is more what makes me go wargh.

Ultimate tower protection stall tactic there.

Grabbin' food

Raven Dreamer

FallenAngelEyes

23:06

Argh, looking at the Grant options... decisions are haaaaaaaaaard

@RavenDreamer Where can you find the Chinese art?

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/League_of_Legends_Wiki

You browse by champion, and then select "skins/trivia"

e.g. leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Karthus_The_Deathsinger/…

They then have a slideshow of regular splash art, and chinese splash art (where available)

FallenAngelEyes

Oooh okay

Wipqozn

Better question

Raven Dreamer

Yes

Wipqozn

Does LoL have classes which are able to heal, protect and buff allies?

Raven Dreamer

23:10

Still yes.

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn Yes

Wipqozn

Also, does LoL have classes capable of placing hex, debuffs, et cetera on enemies?

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes The one thing to keep in mind is that the chinese splash pages aren't nearly as consistent in style as the US arts.

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer Ah, gotcha

@Wipqozn yes

Wipqozn

Awesome, thanks. More motivated to play at some point.

FallenAngelEyes

23:11

Hm. So it's kosher to go for CE's for the grants?

Raven Dreamer

@Wipqozn Use this link to make an account if you do!

@Wipqozn signup.leagueoflegends.com/?ref=4b131fdbb3f2d

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer busy doing an assignment right now

which I would like to finish tonight, although that probably won't happen

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes If I were making the decision, I'd say, if you want to buy the collector's edition, you buy it, and then SE will reimburse you for the cost of the BASE game.

Wipqozn

Due Friday, but I need to do a write-up/analysis of it too

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer Was wondering cuz Cyberskull specified on stuff he'd like CE's

Wipqozn

23:12

@RavenDreamer That seems reasonable.

FallenAngelEyes

There are a few games on the list I'd prefer to get the CE for as well

Wipqozn

Some CE's can be really expensive after all.

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer This makes good sense

@Wipqozn Iiiindeed

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes I noticed that too.

Welcome to the chat room, @Canageek

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer Admittedly, Brett did specify to mention any preorder bonuses or other goodies, so maybe it is okay and all

Raven Dreamer

23:13

@FallenAngelEyes I'd love to stay and chat, but you're awfully good at distracting me. >.<

FallenAngelEyes

I just don't want to drain the grant resources on ubershinies if it'll mean less for other people, y'know?

Raven Dreamer

And I really do need to get some work done.

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes How selfless of you.

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer smiles a winning smile!

Later @Raven!

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes Winning? Or shades Bi-Winning?

FallenAngelEyes

23:14

And hello @Canageek

Raven Dreamer

I'm out!

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer kekeke

@Wipqozn Oh, forgot to mention, I won 4/5 games on boardgames day :D

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer you youngsters

@FallenAngelEyes well snap

What games did you play?

FallenAngelEyes

I won in Hives, a little 2 player game, then Alhambra, Princes of Machu Picchu and... Hanzesteden, which is not the English name for that game, one sec

Wipqozn

also, I'd say hello to you as well @Canageek, but I like to go against the flow. I'm a rebel and all.

FallenAngelEyes

23:15

Hansa Teutonica

I was quite happy

Wipqozn

Alhambra is the only game I've heard of from that list, and no idea what it is about.

FallenAngelEyes

it's a tile-based citybuilding game, like Carcassonne is, only different mechanics and limitations

Powerlord

23:35

Bleah, if I change the setting for my left mouse buttons in my settings, it changes which button Windows sees pressed.

Is it sad that I bound one of my keys to "Remove topmost alert" in TF2?

Canageek

Ah greetings.

Powerlord

@Canageek Greetings, greetings, stay a while and listen.

Wipqozn

@Powerlord oh deckard cain
