@James I love how maybe 5k is a small town....I grew up in a town of maybe 100 people. XD

user15026

@James Not all on my phone atm, but yeah, I play a lot of iOS stuff

James

@AshleyNunn You tell people you are from NY and they assume the city, not the middle of no where :)

user15026

@James true enough XD

Ben Brocka

Okay, WTF. EVERY time I kill the pilot, the atlas dies

Tristan

@AshleyNunn I'm jealous of your Tower...

James

@AshleyNunn city-data.com/city/Skaneateles-New-York.html

Ben Brocka

Even when it has half armor left. Are there only certain atlases you can hijack?

James

Thats where I am from

says 2000ish as of 2009 so its a bit out of date

user15026

@Tristan I've been playing for a while (but not lately as much)

James

I laugh when people in LA had graduating high school glasses the size of all the student in my high school :D

@AshleyNunn Have any iOS game recommendations? :)

Tristan

@James How many students were in your highschool?

@James Jetpack Joyride!

user15026

05:03

@James What sort of stuff do you like?

James

@Tristan about 320 (whenI was there it was about 80 kids per grade and four grads)

user15026

@Tristan That is one of my absolute favorites

Tristan

@James Hey, me too! My graduating class was only about 68 students though.

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka I don't believe so...how are you killing the driver?

Ben Brocka

shooting him in the head

James

05:04

@AshleyNunn I like puzzles as well as full blown games.. I love the Final Fantasy games I have on the iPad, I enjoy the GTA3 but dont play it that often, and draw something is a lot of fun too! :)

Ben Brocka

with a gun that would certainly not kill the mech

Tim Stone

Ah

Ben Brocka

he takes a headshot and the mech explodes with 50% armor left

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot You still around?

James

@AshleyNunn I am also starting to build on my Yoot Tower, I am having issues finding things I remember though so getting use to the iOS UI :)

user15026

05:07

@James Hmm. I like Tiny Wings (its simple, but fun), Triple Town (nice strategy type deal), Puzzler World/Puzzler World 2 (if you like wordfinds/crosswords/sudoku, etc), Fairway Solitaire, Time Geeks: Find All! (if you like hidden object stuff), to name a few. :)

James

@AshleyNunn What is a hidden object game? Cause to me that was a game like King's quest but I think when I mentioned that I got told they were not a hidden object game

and I love sudoko and basic logic games :)

Tristan

@AshleyNunn How many of those are free?

user15026

@James A hidden object game (sometimes called hidden picture) is a genre of puzzle video game in which the player must find items from a list that are hidden within a picture. (Thank you, WIkipedia)

James

And the whole setup is just a trap to capture escaping logicians. None of the doors actually lead out.

Those types of puzzles bug me but would be amusing :)

@AshleyNunn So its like a word search but with an image?

James

'Find 10 presidents in the following picture' sort of things?

@James you may find some of these interesting: wiki.xkcd.com/irc/Puzzles

@Tristan it's a fun little puzzle game.

murgatroid99

@James I've seen some long, unresolved arguments about some of them

Tristan

I got distracted by stuff earlier.. Finally listening to the song from Winter Wrap-Up.

murgatroid99

@Tristan That video would be significantly longer if it was made more recently

Tristan

@murgatroid99 So I hear. Gonna try and get caught up tomorrow.

James

I would love to see an Animal Crossing style game on iOS

murgatroid99

05:19

@Tristan That sounds like a good plan

user15026

@James What aspects of it would you want in a game?

James

a large persistent world that I can explore/harvest/grow in :)

Harvest Moon would also suffice

user15026

@James That would be awesome.

Tristan

Man... Winter Wrap Up actually made me feel bad for Twilight sparkle.

James

@AshleyNunn Hehe, Those two games and a living evolving community economy are the basis for the minecraft clone game I work on in my idle time.

Tristan

@AshleyNunn Have you seen the California Girls MLP song? O_O

James

$3.00 for unlimited turns in Triple Town.. wonder how long that will last and if its worth it :D

murgatroid99

@Tristan That one is great because it is from an actual commercial

Tristan

@murgatroid99 I know. I saw the commercial on the Hub and almost choked on my drink from laughing.

@murgatroid99 I love it.

Tristan

Sounds weird to actually say this, but I think Rainbow Dash is the better singer. o.O

murgatroid99

@Tristan Not that weird, since her VA is in a band

as the vocalist

Tristan

@murgatroid99 I did not know that. Do you know if Tara Strong actually does the vocals for TS?

murgatroid99

05:29

@Tristan I'm not sure. I only know about Rainbow Dash and Applejack (same VA) because as I said she sings in a band

Tristan

@murgatroid99 That's so weird seeing them do the voices... lol

@murgatroid99 It would be odd if she wasn't, wouldn't it? O.o

@Tristan On the other hand, it's kind of weird to be your own fan

Tristan

@murgatroid99 Maybe she... hates her character? >.>

@Tristan Why would she do that?

Tristan

@murgatroid99 Oh right... You're a TS fan... Um... This is awkward.

Tristan

@murgatroid99 Oh wow. I didn't realize the Equestria Girls video actually called Vinyl Scratch DJ Pon3... That's awesome.

Q: How can I return to invisible in the Origin friends interface?

I have Origin set to log me in as invisible. I can click the down-triangle to go visible when I want to play with friends, but after I've gone visible, I can't figure out how to go invisible again. Clicking the down-arrow does nothing. Once I've set my status to visible, how can I go invisible...

origin

Resorath

@murgatroid99 Whats wrong with the question? because it deals with support applications and not games themselves?

murgatroid99

@Resorath Yeah. I remember a discussion a couple of days ago about disallowing questions about non-game stuff

Tristan

06:17

@murgatroid99 Seems to be okay. Origin is a gaming app just like Steam. If we aren't gonna allow that question, we need to also get rid of "How do I add games to Steam" questions, or similar.

Resorath

@murgatroid99 There is lots of steam questions around, and origin is EA's steam. I don't remember the discussion

Do you have the meta link?

murgatroid99

@Resorath I don't think it got beyond chat

Resorath

@murgatroid99 oh okay. well I'm okay with them - I'm sure if we sent them to superuser they would send it right back. So I'm not sure where they would live.

I think its under the same realm as console hardware support questions

murgatroid99

@Resorath That's where the argument started. I'm not sure I could find the conversation, though

Resorath

@murgatroid99 Fair enough. I'd say just answer it if you know. I try not to get involved in origin myself. Steam is horrible enough.

@LessPop_MoreFizz So is there any way we can fix these types of question so that they're a bit more focused?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@YiJiang They're perfectly focused now, they're just written in meandering open ended english, because they're used to soliciting 20 1 line answers rather than a single canonical answer.
