Mass Effect Dialogue stitched together. XD

Ian Pugsley

and here I was thinking those flags a second ago were about that video :P

GnomeSlice

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice Looks like MechWarrior, kind of.

GnomeSlice

Well, I've never even played Mass Effect, and that video just made my night.

GnomeSlice

That thumbnail looks interesting. Too bad I can't stream. =[

@agent86 Image not found.

I want to listen to this. My father must be using Skype or something.

@Wipqozn Are you familiar with 'Trucker's Delight'?

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice No

GnomeSlice

If you're easily offended by cartoon nudity, you may want to just listen to the song and not watch the video.

Suddenly, 4 wild upvotes appear!

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot You're welcome.

@GnomeSlice surprised no one flagged that for the screen cap

Q: Is this balcony Endermen-proof?

I have this pseudo-functional (but mostly for aesthetics) balcony just outside my mountain-side shelter: It gives me a nice view outside, and I can peer over the edge to the ground far below (30+ blocks) to see what baddies are down there before I venture out. There is an above overhang that ...

minecraft

OrigamiRobot

22:14

@GnomeSlice Thanks

GnomeSlice

I think this should be closed.

A better question would be 'how do I enderman-proof a balcony?'

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice I agree, but I don't think the question should be closed.

GnomeSlice

Burn it.

suicide

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice The question in its literal form might be unanswerable since we only have one screenshot, but if someone provides an answer to 'how do I enderman-proof a balcony?' it could simply be reworded.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Agreed.

OrigamiRobot

22:17

Which is what that answer is attempting.

GnomeSlice

Someone more eloquent than I should reword it.

Ronan Forman

Mr @Gnome 'I know where all the keys are' slice. Where's the water world one?

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice Honestly I think only the title should change.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Off to the left of the coastline in that track where you drive through the pirate ship

You have to drive out into the water with your car which makes it nearly impossible to win the race and get the key in the same race.

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DIDDY KONG RACING?

GnomeSlice

22:21

@StrixVaria Yes. <3

My favourite video game of all time.

StrixVaria

I just had a heart attack of sheer joy.

I love that game.

Ronan Forman

Why not use a hovercraft?

StrixVaria

When you mentioned key + water, I was like "Is he talking about Crescent Village?" Then you said pirate ship.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman You don't get to decide on that track.

@StrixVaria There is no 'crescent village'.

StrixVaria

It's called Crescent something.

That stage.

GnomeSlice

22:22

Yeah....

Something Crescent.

StrixVaria

Adventure 2 with its stupid silver coins in the worst places took so long to finish.

GnomeSlice

Can someone with internet please watch this and determine the name of the stage

►

@StrixVaria Nah...

CRESCENT ISLAND

Ronan Forman

Crescent Island. I just got the key.

GnomeSlice

THAT'S IT

@RonanForman Have you never played it before!?

Ronan Forman

That's videos of dark water beach though.

GnomeSlice

22:24

@RonanForman No, it's the thumbnail.

Ronan Forman

@Gnome not in about 5 years at least.

StrixVaria

Now I want to play DKR again :(

GnomeSlice

It shows how to get the two keys for the water and medieval areas, and then shows the unlocked stages for each.

StrixVaria

But I lost my N64 and all of its accessories.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria WAT.

"Lost"?

StrixVaria

22:25

Boulder Canyon's bridge! I would just hang out on that roof and shoot missiles at passersby.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria I used to do that against the Octopus Boss.

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice It's either at my mom's house (in which case it's either in the crawlspace or the attic, neither of which I've been in for a long time) or my dad's house (in which case it's in a hoarders-style room so full of stuff I can't even physically enter).

GnomeSlice

I'd get way ahead of him and then get the x10 rockets and pelt the shit out of him when he came round the last carner.

Wipqozn

user15026

@Wipqozn So true. So very, very true.

Tristan

22:26

@Wipqozn My gym class never used those...

Wipqozn

@Tristan You were a deprived child.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Do you know where all of the others are?

Tristan

@Wipqozn Probably. My school was so poor we had to turn janitor closets and trailers into classrooms...

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn The most fun part was running over your fingers as you were going really fast so in addition to the burning pain in your fingers, you went tumbling off the thing and landed on your face.

GnomeSlice

The ones they used at my school had omni-directional wheels (ball-bearings).

Not casters.

Wipqozn

22:28

@Tristan That's just sad.

user15026

@StrixVaria And then, most likely, got run over by the rest of your classmates.

user15026

@Tristan We had trailer-classrooms, but not janitor closet classrooms. I don't know if that is better or worse.

Tristan

@Wipqozn Oh, and one of the classrooms was also the room in which they stored the lunchroom tables.

Ronan Forman

@Gnome I've finished all the worlds except the last one.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman It's in Boulder Canyon.

StrixVaria

22:30

@RonanForman Which last one? The pretend last one or the secret last one?

GnomeSlice

Hit the bell to raise the drawbridge, then turn around and boost up it.

Ronan Forman

The fourth one.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria There's no key in Future Fun-Land.

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Right, but he said "finished".

GnomeSlice

Much to my chagrin. =[

StrixVaria

22:32

I would say that Future Fun-Land is my favorite, except that they're all amazing.

GnomeSlice

I liked Future Fun land too. It had less tracks though. =[

user30

sigh

GnomeSlice

They're all pretty great.

Except for Frosty Village.

StrixVaria

I love Frosty Village!

My least favorite is probably Pirate Cove.

user15026

@GnomeSlice What's wrong with Frosty Village?

GnomeSlice

22:33

@StrixVaria I don't think there's one called 'Pirate Cove' either.

Pirate Lagoon.

StrixVaria

Yeah

I'm getting the distinctive parts of the names right and the generic parts all wrong.

GnomeSlice

I fuck shit up in that level.

<3 Hovercraft.

StrixVaria

I'm pretty sure the silver coins made me want to murder someone on that level.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Wat. Those ones were easy...

They were nearly all in the corners...

StrixVaria

I'm pretty sure my memories are mostly from raging on Adventure 2.

You know where the key is on Ancient Lake?

GnomeSlice

22:35

=[

StrixVaria

On Adventure 2, that's a silver coin location.

Off the road, behind a rock, on a stupid ramp that leads to another rock and more grass.

GnomeSlice

Yes, I remember.

It's not behind a rock.

And simple: just get a boost first.

Or a shield.

StrixVaria

There's a tall pillar kind of blocking your view of the ramp from the straightaway.

GnomeSlice

Or neither, if you're me.

StrixVaria

I also remember spending about 10 hours playing Jungle Falls over and over and over until I beat the dev time after the credits.

GnomeSlice

22:37

@StrixVaria I love Jungle Falls!

I used to annoy myself, because I'd finish my race before the awesome music even had a chance to loop once.

StrixVaria

Jungle Falls is the most fun mostly-circular race track ever.

Ronan Forman

I need to finish now as the N64's in my brothers room and he needs to sleep.

GnomeSlice

I loved the music in Jungle Falls.

Did you ever figure out the airplane speed exploit thing?

If you barrel roll continuously after boosting, you won't really slow down.

StrixVaria

I think I've seen that in speed runs, but I never did it myself.

GnomeSlice

You can only really use it against the dragon boss though. No other level had enough room.

@StrixVaria I should watch some of those.

►

StrixVaria

22:39

Who was your preferred racer?

GnomeSlice

Bumper, Conker, T.T.

Ronan Forman

I'm thinking of trasposing one of the pieces, which one should I do?

GnomeSlice

I just liked Conker's horn.

StrixVaria

T.T. obviously for clearly being the best racer in the game once you got him.

Ronan Forman

Isn't T.T the clock?

StrixVaria

22:40

Yes.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Yes.

Ahaha, Krunch.

StrixVaria

I almost always used Tiptup, but if I went back and played now I'd probably use Bumper.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Watch the video I just linked.

Ronan Forman

How do you get him?

GnomeSlice

Friend of mine recorded that.

Oak

22:40

Whoa lots of votes in the primary

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Is sound required?

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Yes.

Ronan Forman

Also are the racers actually different?

StrixVaria

@RonanForman Very much so.

I can't even imagine trying to beat Wizpig using Krunch.

GnomeSlice

Yes.

Ronan Forman

22:42

I think it's a new question time.

StrixVaria

I remember once I tried that because I couldn't keep up with him as Tiptup.

GnomeSlice

I'm not sure if they're all unique but there are definitely different classes.

StrixVaria

And then I immediately fell off the road.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria I tried to see if I could do it after watching his video.

Took me about three tries. :P

Krunch is terrible.

StrixVaria

Oh man this guy is talking like one caster I used to watch all the time.

With his "Fantastic" and "Chateau Romany"

But I can't remember his name.

GnomeSlice

22:43

@StrixVaria Yeah, he's hilarious. Guy I know from college.

The first Wizpig battle was so much more difficult than the second.

StrixVaria

Yeah for sure.

The first Wizpig battle basically required a perfect run.

GnomeSlice

The trick was to get in front of him, and get him to kick you along.

@StrixVaria Not really.

Tristan

Taco trucks are awesome.

GnomeSlice

I used to like turning around and backing over the finish line against Wizpig in the first race.

user15026

@Tristan The idea of a taco truck does sound awesome.

GnomeSlice

22:45

As long as you don't really go in the water, you're mostly okay.

Tristan

@AshleyNunn Then you haven't tried them. =P They're just trucks that park outside gas stations and hotels and stuff and sell authentic mexican food. The truck has a kitchen inside and everything.

user15026

@Tristan That sounds awesome XD

StrixVaria

@Tristan I prefer non-authentic Mexican food.

Tristan

@StrixVaria So like... Taco bell?

StrixVaria

Well, it doesn't have to be that bad. But "TexMex", as it were, not real Mexican food.

OrigamiRobot

22:48

@Tristan Or Salsaritas

StrixVaria

I'm kind of Taco Bell-ed out at the moment. Just thinking about eating there is making my stomach contort in protest.

Tristan

@StrixVaria I like TexMex. But every once in a while. I like going authentic. Especially when horchata is involved.

user15026

@Tristan When what is involved? (You can totally tell that my area of Canada is lacking in Mexican food. :P)

StrixVaria

I've never had that, but based on the wikipedia entry, I wouldn't mind trying it.

Tristan

Horchata

Horchata (; ) or orxata () is the name of several kinds of traditional beverages, made of ground almonds, sesame seeds, rice, barley, or tigernuts (chufas). Etymology The name comes from Valencian Catalan orxata, probably from ordiata, made from ordi (barley) (Latin *hordeata

user15026

22:51

@Tristan I can't decide if that would be super tasty or not

Tristan

@AshleyNunn "In Mexico, horchata is made of rice, sometimes with vanilla and always with cinnamon."

user15026

@Tristan I am not a huge cinnamon fan, other than like a cinnamon roll.

Tristan

@AshleyNunn =(

OrigamiRobot

@RonanForman If by some miracle I win the election, will you change my gravatar to have diamonds in the eyes?

user15026

@Tristan Most of what I consider the "cookie" spices aren't really my faves.

Tristan

22:54

@AshleyNunn You prefer "cupcake" spices?

Ronan Forman

@Origami Sure.

user15026

@Tristan I think you mean "sprinkles". XD

Tristan

@AshleyNunn Probably.

user15026

@Tristan I need someone close to my geographical location to have a birthday so I have an excuse to bake cupcakes.

Tristan

@AshleyNunn I'm about 2 hours from Vancouver, B.C.... If that's close. <.<

user15026

22:57

@Tristan Not very. I am in Ontario. So you are thousands of miles away :(

Tristan

@AshleyNunn Darn.

Q: How do the racers differ?

Apparently the racers have different characteristics. Do they have different speeds, accelerations, handling etc. or can I choose the racer I want? (tiptup)

diddy-kong-racing

Tristan

I would've loved some cupcakes.

user15026

@Tristan If I ever end up out that way, I shall bring you cupcakes. XD

Oak

@AshleyNunn I have a birthday soon. If you want you can bake cupcakes for me and then eat them in my name :)

Tristan

22:58

@AshleyNunn Yayyy!

user15026

@Oak Oh, this plan I like. :D Any preferred flavour? XD

Ronan Forman

@Oak Did you enjoy the snow?

Oak

@RonanForman oh man please don't remind me. I spent the weekend back home... the one weekend it snows! :cry:

And there was snow back home, but I didn't get to see it, either

I'm back in London now, and all I see are tiny leftovers on the sidewalks

:(

I really hope it will snow again

Ronan Forman

Unlucky, better luck next time.

FallenAngelEyes

@Lazers Oh god I played so much of this game back in the day

OrigamiRobot

23:00

@Tristan have you been brainstorming for the multilayer arena?

FallenAngelEyes

@Ronan Was it re-released on something or are you emulating?

Ronan Forman

It should be funnel shaped, getting smaller and more intends towards the end.

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot I have not... I've been eating lengua tacos... <.<

Ronan Forman

@Fallen I'm playing it on my N64.

OrigamiRobot

@RonanForman Ohhh I like this

FallenAngelEyes

23:01

@RonanForman I miss my N64 :(

Enjoy the game! I put so many hours into it...

user15026

I don't have my N64, but my sister has the DS version of Diddy Kong Racing. Did they change anything vital/superawesome?

Ronan Forman

How come no-one I know in real life has heard of DKR but everyone here has.

OrigamiRobot

But how could we build it so there wont be ledges all the way around?

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot We can do that. Make it circular with glass around the outside for spectators, and a multilayered viewing platform.

Mana

Bye Jeff

20

FallenAngelEyes

23:03

@RonanForman Huh, really? I didn't think it was obscure or anything.

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan I like it, but glass might get accidentally broken :(

Mana

:(

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot It's easily replaced. And, we'd only need the glass to be high enough for the viewers to see through.

Ronan Forman

@Origami use glass panes.

OrigamiRobot

I was thinking about this wrong

I was thinking there had to be walls around as it got smaller

Tristan

23:06

@OrigamiRobot Well.. If there wasn't, what would keep the competitors from just falling to the ground after the first level?

user15026

Kid Icarus: Uprising - "The game's simple, intuitive play control has players hold the system in their left hand, while the right hand uses the stylus on the touch screen for targeting. Their left thumb on the Circle Pad controls Pit's movements, and the L Button fires ranged weapons and unleashes melee attacks....

user15026

The controls are simple enough to be grasped quickly, but offer layers of depth and strategy for advanced maneuvers. A special control option for left-handed players is also being prepared."....I am a lefty. I really hope that I didn't order a game that will be impossible to play.

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan They need to stay away from the edges

user30

@Mana Hmm.

FallenAngelEyes

@Mana I wonder how this will affect SE as a whole. That said, whatever his decisions here or opinions about Gaming.SE were, I deeply respect him for choosing to focus on his family.

Tristan

23:06

@OrigamiRobot Well... Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of spleef? <.< We had several people get backed into corners yesterday.

user30

I see this being disruptive.

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan Hrm yea....

user30

Well, perhaps not disruptive.

Mana

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, I think that's one of the most touching blog posts I've read.

Well, geez.

I'm gonna miss him.

He gave me an internet high five once, you know? It may not have been much but it meant a lot to me.

Ronan Forman

I assume he'll still be around, I doubt he'd be able to bring himself to leave completely.

Arda Xi

23:11

@Mana holy crap

@ArdaXi I was waiting for that

@ArdaXi WHAT?

Arda Xi

@OrigamiRobot LOUD NOISES

A: How do the racers differ?

They have different stats it seems. Though those look like the N64 version stats (it has banjo). If you're on the DS the stats might be different. Edit: Here is the stats for the DS version. Edit 2: To more directly answer your question, you can choose whichever you like, but you should be awar...

user15026

should the info in the link(s) be edited in?

OrigamiRobot

probably

Tristan

@AshleyNunn Yeah. Only you can prevent link rot.

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan Whew. That lifts the burden on everyone else. Thanks @AshleyNunn!

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Oh, hurrah. XD

Tristan

23:24

@OrigamiRobot Well... I meant that as more of an all-encompassing "you" like Smokey the Bear... Or Uncle Sam. It should apply to anyone who sees it.

Oh man... Too many tacos...

John

@Tristan There's no such thing.

Tristan

@John True... And I only ate 4. At least I'm full, I suppose.

John

@Tristan And I'm so hungry...

Tristan

@John Go get you some lengua tacos from a taco truck like I did.

John

@Tristan There was this episode of Warehouse 13 that involved a taco truck...

Tristan

23:32

@John I don't recall it...

Oak

@John so, the primary has already began... and still no gravatar

John

@Tristan I think it's recent enough to still be on Hulu.

@Tristan The episode name is "Unsatiable"

@Oak Yeah...I can't get it to be green.

Wipqozn

@Oak That's a good point..

Switches his up vote for @john to a down vote

John

Blue, yes. Purple, yes. Green? No.

I was kinda hoping @RonanForman could magicify it.

But he hasn't pinged me back about that yet.

Wipqozn

just take a picture of your current gravatar

and use that

Oak

23:33

My avatar is green

John

@Oak But I can't copy you.

Got to go. Later guys!

Ullallulloo

@John I could try

Oak

@Wipqozn that can work... as long as he prints it first

thedailywtf.com/Articles/Web_0_0x2e_1.aspx

Tristan

@John See ya. Though, I did give you the perfect non-pony gravatar...

Wipqozn

@Tristan the :(*?

If so, he should use that.

Tristan

23:35

@Wipqozn The jolly green giant with the big green :(, yes.

Ullallulloo

@Tristan That had a pony!

Tristan

@Ullallulloo I gave him one without a pony first.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Having an SO Careers ad tacked onto the end of Jeffs farewell post feels... well, tacky isn't quite the right word, but it's as close as I can get.

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Are you going to watch the new Adventure Time tonight?

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh good, I wasn't the only one who thought that.

Raven Dreamer

23:47

Jeff had twins 3 days ago?

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer I was unaware he even had a SO

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn And a son.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, so he was 3 kids?

My word

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn Well, he was only one kid.

Raven Dreamer

I'm not sure why he thought, "I should make them a twitter account".

Tristan

23:50

@Wipqozn Yes. He was 3 kids, and then grew into 1 adult who help create one of the coolest websites on the internets.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn But he's produced three.

Raven Dreamer

@Wipqozn Significant Other, you sly fiend.

Wipqozn

I could change that "was" to a "has", but it's funnier this way.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RavenDreamer Also, I think it's because he did that for his first son? Though I would still wonder about that descision.

Raven Dreamer

Is he keeping his diamond?

Wipqozn

23:52

@RavenDreamer I was wondering that too.

Raven Dreamer

Not sure what exactly is changing

It's not like he's joined a cult, or anything.

Maybe he's starting one.

The Jeff Cult.

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer I bet @ArdaXi would join.

@RavenDreamer Business as usual: Jeff's been less visible over the last few months anyway
