One thing I don't get
Nokia has an "exclusive" ESPN app
...but wasn't ESPN US-only?
...or, well, covering US only events?
and yet the app's exclusive to Nokia for "a while", and it's going to be a while before the device hits the US.
No, ESPN has a worldwide presence.
@DavidFullerton @badp I was planning to see how this went first. If this tournament goes well, and we get a good turn out (which we did), I was planning to talk to @brettwhite about setting up prizes for future tournaments.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I dunno. In a bar around here they were showing a football (american football) match from ESPN as shown through a minor Italian tv channel, SportItalia.
That is, to get ESPN content in the Netherlands, they had to show an Italian channel.
00:04
So I guess they have some UK presence as well
@badp Sports broadcast rights are an absurdly complicated can of worms full of strange exclusivity rules and regional blackout restrictions, so you see weird stuff like that all the time in television.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, the situation in the US is really complicated
But ESPN is also the premier general sports website, and they also have a network of local radio stations (at least in the US) that do sports talk.
@badp NFL blackout rules are hilarious.
@badp For instance, did you know that a game may not be shown on tv within 100 miles of the stadium if the team doesn't sell it out?
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...sell out the streaming rights to the game?
@badp no. Sell out the stadium.
00:07
Oh, you mean, all tickets must be gone.
If they don't sell every single ticket for the game for some reason, nobody is allowed to show it on TV.
I guess that clears out TV scheduling for less interesting games!
@badp Eh... not neccesarily.
Because the thing is, the local station also can't show any other games instead. They have to make do with MASH reruns or whatever.
At any rate, for Italian soccer in Italy, there's just one sat tv provider that broadcasts all games and just one terrestrial digital provider that broadcasts most games. (Both are for pay obviously.)
Other channels can buy the right to show images of a couple reporters from inside the stadium as the matches are undergoing
as in, the camera may show these people and their surrounding, but that's it
and not all channels have this luxury
They still get to watch a stream and make a live commentary of that though, apparently
@badp Invalid string, I assume
00:20
Hm, I've been playing the same song for the past 3 matches. Which is to say, the entire time I've been losing.
I will chalk up all my bad luck to being on the wrong song. That's the ticket.
Hence, now it's time for... shiny llama
I've found exactly two shiny pokemon. And one of them's a @#$*ing Tentacool.
Hey, Tentacruel is an excellent Pokemon. I'd love a shiny Tentacruel
Is it really? All I know is that every time I go onto water
@#$*ing Tentacool.
Or bloody wingulls.

Q: How does one install an emulator onto the Playstation phone (Sony Xperia Play)?

lowellkI got a Playstation phone (Sony Xperia Play) and would love to play old video games on it for free. I was hoping there was an emulator (maybe mame?) I could install on it. Is there some way I could do this?

Very nice special defense and speed, decent special attack. Also a fairly nice movepool in general.
00:26
Holy *@#$ bloody mother of coincidence.
Guess who's Serebii's pokemon of the week this week?
Tentacruel.
Ho crap, that's creepy. O.o
I already knew that
But that's simply because I watch every week in hopes to see one of my mains
The more pokemon games that are released, the lower the chance that any random pokemon who comes up in conversation will be featured at the same time.
This is an unanticipated convergence of disparate events.
Anyway, I can't play pokemon anymore, these days.
No way to power my DS.
oh Reddit.
8 hours ago: "My 1.8 world"
You lost the power cord?
2 hours later: "My 1.7 world"
00:30
@GraceNote The power cord is bent and unusuable. But, basically.
@RavenDreamer You should get a replacement, that's rather troubling
That, or come up with a clever solution involving duct tape and holding the cord just the right way.
@GraceNote I think I might just get a 3DS instead.
That's also an option
At any rate. I ran into shiny Spindas
00:33
Plural?
Yes. I'm rather peeved because I crit'd the second one. Even if it was just a Spinda. It's still a shiny
I also have a shiny Crobat. She's great. Excepting the whole "minus speed nature", but it's fittingly cute anyway
My other shiny was a Marill.
I named it Emerald.
...also, why do I have this open in a random tab?
It then evolved into an Azuril.
Guess what color shiny Azuril's are not?
-_-
00:34
@GraceNote They're golden.
So... yes.
Well, to be fair, there are a lot of Shiny pokemon that are just green, so a non-green colour is usually pretty nice
My brother has a shiny Golem and a shiny... I think it's still a Dwebble
@GraceNote Actually, I thought the same of gold / yellow colored.

@Wipqozn Uk1 as suggested by the Frozen Synapse devs, who said all other servers will be merged in that one

00:43
@badp as am I. If we do need to be on the same server we can all just play on UK1.

jasonI downloaded the tar.gz file from the site, but it seems kind of confusing. Is there any easier way to install the newest version?

goes to bed
oh. They had to scrap the main distinguishing feature of the game - switching between characters
now it's more like Portal 2 coop.
There's really no reason not to enter this raffle.
except unless you already have Psychonauts.
@badp Not wanting to register for the site is a reason not to enter.
@LessPop_MoreFizz OpenID, baby.
@badp but then I have to like click on stuff. and type in a password.
@LessPop_MoreFizz and read a wall of text and tick a checkbox.
01:04
@badp Yeah! That shit is hard!
@Mana you know what is depressing?
I have an awful patron troll. :( Bloody sagitarius.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Whatever man. I assume you already have the game.
@badp I have a copy for PS2, but my PS2 is broken. So I own it but cannot actually play it.
:(
That sucks real hard.
I hope you'd at least finished it or something.
01:10
@badp But I have played it in it's entirety, so at this point, I can get a similar amount of satisfaction by just youtubing the milkman conspiracy or whatever.
This is perhaps the most evil CAPTCHA out there:
AdCaptcha? WTF?
I however noticed that you can avoid corrupting your soul by switching to the audio captcha
then the challenge is random letters and numbers as usual
Yeah, except for the subliminal undertones that now make you want to go out and buy something.

I got Popular Demand. I blame the fact he's not around enough

It blamed you twice @TimStone :(

Since he's actually around, I'll take that.
@mordi2k Oh, in that case it must be broken. I guess we can't trust it.

Q: Do we have to advance to next level for auto-sell?

MaslowWhen we click go advance to next level it appears all items not picked up are automatically sold and split with the group. Does the same thing happen if we click go to tavern instead?

@GnomeSlice I've already pinned it in the other room. Also please just upload your images to imgur or something that allows hotlinking. If you must allow updating of images, I suggest Dropbox.
@badp the nice thing about the crate is that I can update it without needing to post a new link each time
@GnomeSlice Dropbox does that too and allows hotlinks.
Also, I had to get on my phone to send that. 23:00.
03:05
Dropbox also has an iOS client.
Well, poop. Maybe I should use that instead. Doesn't matter though, an image would get lost in the chat
Also, screw you and your higher ranking lololol
@LessPop_MoreFizz looks at the funnyordie video expecting to see evidence of Jeff's emerging paranoid schizophrenia.
is horribly, horribly, confused
@badp that's not a good look for me.
We should make a special badge
Clearly I am saying that Jeff is really John Hodgman.
03:08
Similar to the gold/silver/bronze tag badges
That, or you need to scroll up more.
and give it to developers of their own game.
That seems foolish.
Then I could go make a maze in flash, and ask a question about it.
You already can.
It would be nice to hiking dev answers, yea.
03:13
@badp also, what do you mean "now" in hotlink form?
@GnomeSlice ?
It should be noted that the woman who wrote the longer, accepted answer to that question is/was a beta tester so prolific, they added her to the game as a character in the latest patch.
I uploaded it to imgur before letscrate
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah. I scrolled up. ;P

You recall that last night was the company football game, and people were loudly watching the game in the next room at about the same time as she was filling the paperwork. Why might your secretary's work have suffered because of this?

But anyway, it's because I want to know if it automatically translates that phrase or not.
@GnomeSlice Key difference: The piece I linked contains no actors. Those are real interviews with people that actually believe that science is the tool of satan.
@RonanForman How does the one on the left even work? It's carved all the way around.
And if we're going to talk about pumpkins, I guess I'd better show you guys some of mine.
@GnomeSlice It's pinned in place with matchsticks, there were bits a the top and bottom connecting it, but they broke.
Wow. Just wow.
I only have photos from last year's unfortunately.
@GnomeSlice You did know that I'm writing a server addon that pretends to be said controller, and I'm trying to determine what the client is doing? I know the server passes "Extend current Map" (with that exact capitalization).
That one was hand draw by a girl in the family that does hem with us every year.

This is the first decent thing @GnomeSlice has posted.

Also, I'm not sure why this is in the same photo album as those:
@RonanForman Wait no, I did the skull, and the monster thing.
Shame you cant really do different shades on pumpkins.
