@YiJiang My point indeed.

Yi Jiang

Anyway, who would you like to see on the GWOB? I'll come back tomorrow morning and review the replies.

badp

@YiJiang I'm working on it already.

Q: Halo reach noble achievements

Do the halo reach noble achievements need to be completed on the halo reach noble map pack? Such as totally worth it? I know some are specific to the map pack such as the you blew it up achievement.

I propose we modify this room's name from The Bridge to The Beer Fridge

sjohnston

just call it the B'ridge and everyone is satisfied

...although inscrutable contractions may cause people to think we're speaking klingon or elvish or something in here...

Hey, that'd be a great name for an indie rock band. "The Inscrutable Contractions"

Q: Dwarf stuck on an upper level while building a wall.

I am building a wall on a higher level on another wall that exists in the lower level. My dwarf is now stuck on the upper level, how to remedy that?

Can I have 4 shares of your band?

sjohnston

@GnomeSlice Certainly. Would you care for a stake in any of my other nonexistent bands?

GnomeSlice

22:12

Hmmm... Tell me more. I need to make an informed decision.

sjohnston

Time Travel Sex Change (Technopop) and Blood Rocket to Planet Awesome (Nordic Fantasy Metal)

GnomeSlice

+1 for Nordic Fantasy Metal.

Time Travel Sex Change is surprisingly marketable, I fear.

sjohnston

@GnomeSlice Agreed. What could possibly be a more appropriate topic for Metal than the slaying of dragons and orcs?

GnomeSlice

You have no idea.

There's Crab Metal.

Pirate Metal.

Viking Doom Metal

sjohnston

Does Viking Doom Metal focus on Ragnarok? If so, sign me up

GnomeSlice

22:15

And there's a band called AHAB whose songs revolve around Moby Dick

sjohnston

I have heard of AHAB

GnomeSlice

And there's BlackGuard who have a distinctly medieval feel.

Also, Viking Doom Metal reminds me of this gem. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigrant_Song

GnomeSlice

I've never heard it.

But alas, I must depart.

sjohnston

It has precisely the correct amount of semi-cheesy lyrics and incoherent, high-pitched screaming.

bye bye

Plus, their drummer is a woman.

Women in metal are always a plus.

Q: How do you awake all aircraft on a tile?

It is fairly tedious to awake many aircraft on a tile. I'm wondering if there is a shortcut available to wake aircraft in a city, instead of clicking on each, one by one.

@badp You trollin'?

badp

@sjohnston me yawnin'

that game was seriously so boring

"man you get to make like a choice per round and most of the time you can't choose anyway"

people waste money in the most stupid games ever

sjohnston

I do occasionally wander around the board game store and wonder who the guy is who makes all those games somehow profitable. And they all have four expansions.

Also, somebody somewhere owns about 500 versions of monopoly

JavadocMD

Most of the time the real fun of a board or card game comes not from the game itself, but from interacting with people at the same table, I find.

sjohnston

@Javadoc very true

But the game can really hinder that if it fails to encourage interesting interactions

JavadocMD

True, a bad game is still a bad game.

I've had a lot of fun with Set in the right groups, but LCR is so terrible that no amount of sex, drugs, or rock and roll could make it bearable.

In which Gaming.SE questions liability in chat affairs and appropriate access level to badp's things.
