@GnomeSlice I feel like I saw a LP or something of this on SomethingAwful forums.

James

@RonanForman Uploading the zip now.

10%, its going rather slow :/

and FML there goes chat.

GnomeSlice

@agent86 Probably the old one.

agent86

this game is more like you have 6 PCs in the same room, and they are all the various "bridge stations" of a starship - science, engineering, helm, comms, etc

spugsley

HEY GUYS!

Blem

21:02

hey @spugsley

agent86

the captain issues orders, and the crew gives him information based on what they see, but they all have to work together

Blem

@Fluttershy how do i find you on the site?

agent86

think star trek, but with a game master instead of a prewritten plot

@spugsley I'm supposed to not tell you something, but I can't remember what it is. If I tell it to you, try to forget it, kay?

James

There, restarted browser and I will NOT hop channels this time.

... not that it helped it seems.. ah well.

spugsley

@agent86 O-o yes? No? Okay probably maybe?

agent86

21:04

@spugsley I accept your apology.

spugsley

@agent86 likewise

agent86

or topology. or geology. or what have you.

Fluttershy

@Blem If you click on Games, you'll see an option to play Catan (Base Game), which will open a new window.

Blem

@Fluttershy ok im in now :)

Fluttershy

@Blem I see you. My username there is the same as here.

Man, I totally need a cot under my desk so I can take naps at work.

Fluttershy

Oh. @Blem We need a 3rd player.

spugsley

@Fluttershy for what?

Fluttershy

@spugsley playcatan.com

spugsley

@Fluttershy ohhhhh I like that game :)

Tim Stone

21:10

@Jin Oh hai

spugsley

never played it online

Blem

@spugsley I have never played it so you are already ahead of me

Jin

Catan is serious biz

Fluttershy

@spugsley Same rules. =P Blem and I are gonna play if you wanna make an account and join us.

Jin

my wood for your sheep

spugsley

21:10

@Fluttershy I don't think I have time. Those games are usually lengthy.

agent86

@Jin I need wood for my sheep. WHERE CAN I GET WOOD FOR MY SHEEP??

spugsley

@Fluttershy I gotta make dinner like a good domesticated woman

Fluttershy

@spugsley He can cook for himself.

Jin

@agent86 you have to take me out to dinner first

Fluttershy

You worked today. <.< You can game.

OrigamiRobot

21:11

@spugsley What are you making for @RavenDreamer?

spugsley

@OrigamiRobot Oh, he's not coming over until after dinner. Wink wink

James

@RonanForman Having issues trying to unzip the file on the server.

spugsley

@James I definitely saw "unzip the fly"

Jin

@spugsley are you from the same town as me too?

Blem

@spugsley I am prety sure i have played board games that where alot longer

spugsley

21:12

@Jin depends. Where are you from?

Fluttershy

@Jin or @agent86 Would either of you care to join @Blem and I for a game of Settlers of Catan?

Jin

@spugsley Raleigh, same as @RavenDreamer

Tim Stone

@spugsley That's pretty generous of you to make food for all of us.

spugsley

@Jin I am from Charlotte

Blem

my first time playing twilight imperium took 12 hours

OrigamiRobot

21:13

@Jin We are in Charlotte. That's why we all need to go to HeroesCon

Jin

@Fluttershy I'd love to.. but i'm finishing up the diablo3 contest for a certain site..

spugsley

@TimStone you aren't included. It's for @IanPugsley and then @RavenDreamer gets the leftovers

wink wink

Fluttershy

@Jin Did I win? =D

agent86

@Jin it's for gaming.experts-exchange.com, isn't it?

James

@spugsley LOL

Fluttershy

21:13

@Blem That is a game I would not play.

Jin

^ sneak peek

agent86

@Fluttershy negative, I'm supposed to be working, and then getting my wife and daughter from the hospital. I think they'd be mad if I blew them off for some hot Catan action.

Tim Stone

@spugsley I was going to be hungrily disappointed, but I'm not even sure how to apply the wink wink to that statement, so I'm just gonna...turn...back to my work now.

agent86

@Jin looks appropriately hellish. And I mean that in the best way possible.

Fluttershy

@agent86 It's Catan, I'm sure they'd understand. =P

spugsley

21:14

@TimStone That's probably a good idea. It's become way too complicated

OrigamiRobot

@TimStone She is winking at @RavenDreamer. She isn't good at winking.

Blem

@Fluttershy It was a pretty good game, we where just playing with maximum number of players and everybody where new so it took a bit long making decisions each turn

Tim Stone

@OrigamiRobot I'm beginning to think that her "wink wink" is just a blink and she forgot what it was called.

OrigamiRobot

@TimStone Likely

Jin

I tried Agricola not too long ago... that game is like Catan on steroid.

Fluttershy

21:16

@Blem Do you have the option to hit start on your game?

Blem

@Fluttershy yes, but nothing happens

Fluttershy

There it goes

FAE

THAT WAS AWESOME

James

@RonanForman Uploading Uncompressed, its going to take a bit

FAE

@Jin I <3 Agricola, have played it a lot

I wish all movies were as awesome as The Avengers

I am wowed right now

spugsley

21:21

@FAE YESSSS

Tim Stone

@agent86 Wait, you have a new baby? I...should pay more attention. Congratulations!

spugsley

@FAE (and as hot)

FAE

I am sure I will find other niggling points to criticize a little at some point but right now I am wowed

@spugsley I... am not normally into muscled dudes at all but I find both Chris's to be very easy on the eyes

Fluttershy

@James Are you spectating?

spugsley

@FAE same and I can't really explain it.

James

21:23

@FAE Good movie :D Was nice to see something by Joss Whedon again :D

FAE

@spugsley Me neither. But I was like "This is an awesome movie and it has some damn nice eye candy and I'm just gonna roll with it"

spugsley

@FAE hahaha my thoughts exactly!

FAE

@spugsley Some attractions you just have to give up on questioning

Oh, @agent86 had a baby.

spugsley

@FAE I KNOW RIGHT! It's sad because he's so greasy and just...ughhh. But I find him oddly attractive

FAE

21:27

@spugsley OMG I'M SO GLAD I'M NOT ALONE

spugsley

@OrigamiRobot is it prime for punching?

OrigamiRobot

@spugsley Probably. Ask him.

spugsley

@FAE in fact, after the movie, I went through every single character and told @IanPugsley what kind of hot they were

FAE

@spugsley It was a visual smorgasbord

spugsley

because every one in the Avengers is a different kind of hot

@agent86 PREP YOUR BABY FOR PUNCHING!

FAE

21:29

I almost want to just go back and watch it again

spugsley

@FAE that's a normal reaction. I'd watch it again right now!

@Oak it's so tasty when it's fresh

Ronan Forman

@FAE why will I eat it if it's not fresh?

FAE

@Oak they sell it in packages in the grocery store here for you to cook yourself if you like

it is not as good

James

@RonanForman Just trying to start it up

Oak

@FAE ugh. Well, that's not what I mean :)

James

The start up scripts that I was told about by Peter have apparently been rewritten just for ctw .. or something

Fluttershy

21:48

@FAE What is shawarma?

@Fluttershy Tasty!

11.6% beer is awesome

@bwarner (why are you asking us who didn't VTC the question? :P)

Fluttershy

@FAE Always, always so mean to me.

bwarner

21:55

Because @Raven isn't here?

FAE

@Fluttershy I aaaaaaam and I love it and so do you

badp

I imagine "too localized" here means "this no longer applies to the present so nobody cares"

you can debate on whether or not that's a valid reason, but that's most likely why

bwarner

But is "nobody cares" a close reason or a downvote reason?

Fluttershy

@FAE <3

James

@RonanForman Yeah sorry man, Until either Peter or Marco show up and explain what they did I do not have the time to invest into just starting a minecraft server with a map on it like this.

bwarner

21:57

I was under the impression it was the latter. Though "Too Localized" has always been a bit of a mystery to me.

James

ctw will start up, but not just a simple minecraft server and I do not want to overwrite anything in the ctw server.

Ronan Forman

@James It's late here anyway, we'll get it sorted for some other day.

Ronan Forman

@James 'tis not your fault.

Q: Linking with Gameboy Advanced Emulators?

Are there any Gameboy Advanced Emulators that can simulate linking, that way to computers running the emulator can link with each other other an Internet connection? If one does support this feature, is it limited to which games it supports linking?

emulation game-boy-advance

bwarner

@badp That sounds like "Off topic". A valid example needs to be on topic and still "Nobody cares". And that seems awfully subjective to be a close reason.

I mean, there are all sorts of questions on this site that I don't care about. And many that I suspect that nobody other than the asker cares about. But it seems awfully tenuous to use that as a close reason. I seem to recall that being a rejected argument against ITG.

Fluttershy

@Blem That was fun! =D

Blem

@Fluttershy yea, say if you want to play again another day, then i will make sure i get some wood from the start

Fluttershy

@Blem Will do.

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy What a terrible and useless question.

FAE

This is a pleasing feeling

Amstel blond is not bad

But is it not as good as the Grolsch 11.6

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice Yes one person cares. That's called Too Localized.

badp

22:31

@bwarner I don't think that makes sense

user2334

That question is not too localized. Off-topic perhaps, general reference maybe, but not too localized. It'd be applicable to anyone searching for the price of Ultima Online at launch

user2334

Too localized is "What was the sale price of UO in 1996 at my local GameStop?"

badp

the question is, is tehre any?

OrigamiRobot

@MarkTrapp The price of a game in 1997 is not relevant to a lot of people. Too localized.

James

@balpha Seems my chat issues only occur here when I am in multiple rooms.

OrigamiRobot

22:37

Also, we are not a price catalog. (unrelated to localization)

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what too localized means. I'm not saying this is a good question. But that is not the reason it's a bad question.

@LessPopMoreFizz can put it way more eloquently than I can, though.

user2334

@OrigamiRobot Doesn't have to be relevant to a lot of people. The point of the too localized reason is to shut down questions for which nobody except the poster would ever be able to answer or give a damn about. "Why is there a guy outside my house?" "What was my favorite thing about UO?" "What was the name of that game I vaguely recall as being fun?"

OrigamiRobot

> This question is unlikely to ever help any future visitors

user2334

SE is supposed to be the place where esoteric questions have a home

user2334

A: Too localized: by population size instead of geographical area

Stop abusing "Too Localized." That is meant to close questions that are so specific to a particular place and time that they can only possible benefit the poster, or questions which would be obsolete in a matter of seconds. Just because there is a location in a question doesn't mean it's too loca...

OrigamiRobot

22:38

@MarkTrapp Then change the description.

user2334

Yes, because that's a thing I can do.

Wipqozn

@MarkTrapp I thought you could do anything?

OrigamiRobot

I am directing it at the point you are making not you persoanlly

Wipqozn

Like, I thought you were a warlock or something.

user2334

I am a level 97 ovinomancer

FAE

22:40

@MarkTrapp sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

user2334

Open your eyes, sheeple! The ovinomancer is here!

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria I know the difference between time localized and other types of localization

My point is, the current description applies to that question IMO. If that is not a proper description, why am I at fault?

StrixVaria

The point of the site is not to be nazis about what questions we allow.

OrigamiRobot

By me I mean people in favor of closing it

Ronan Forman

You will be led to judgement like lambs to the slaughter--a simile whose existence, I might add, will not do your species any favors.

user2334

22:41

Not about assigning blame but about doing the correct thing given available knowledge being provided

OrigamiRobot

I am not talking about blame

I am saying people are acting according to the information given in the description of the close reason

Wipqozn

I don't see how this question has any value at all. We wouldn't allow a question asking the price of a game today, so why should we allow a question asking the price of a game in the past? If anything that just means that any price questions can't be closed, and should be converted to "what was the price of the game at time X?", and then a new question is asked.

user2334

@OrigamiRobot All people are saying, or at least all I'm saying, is that specific interpretation doesn't accurately capture the intent of the close reason.

user2334

@Wipqozn So close it for something else. Off-topic or something.

OrigamiRobot

@MarkTrapp I understand that, but that means the close reason needs a better description.

StrixVaria

22:44

Not constructive.

@OrigamiRobot Sounds like a good feature request for meta.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria But it isn't any of the reasons listed in Not Constructive

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot It is not constructive just based on the words "not constructive".

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria I know that, but people will just complain about it as a close reason too.

user2334

Isn't a good fit for the SE engine

Wipqozn

I think we need a meta asking what Too Localized means. I personally have always been confused about it.

Mostly since everyone seems to have a differing opinion on it.

OrigamiRobot

22:46

Instead of just constantly explaining that the description doesn't fit the reason, just change the description

People can only act on the information that is given to them

are there still rare mounts in wow now?

James

The hell

The alliance effing BLOW! There is no way they could get to Orgrimmar.

user2334

They can with the help of the rest of the horde who hate Warchief Garrosh Hellscream

James

.. As long as they dont bring their lame /jokes and stupid in-city music I guess that will be ok though.. thoughtful of them to come all that way so we can kill em instead of us constantly having to go hunt em down :)

Oh.. Yeah well Garrosh is a bit of a derp.

Blem

I got about 50% of all the pets there are i think

James

23:31

Ive not played in so long @Blem that I have like 1/4th

warcraftpets.com/wow-pets/humanoids/miscellaneous/…

That is the soul-trader pet that will give you special money to buy the neat dodads he sells :)

Blem

only $250 on ebay

Jin

I wonder if people will make real $ on the Diablo3 auction house

Blem

my guess is it will be flooded, so only people with really high end items will have a chance

James

@Jin Yeah, they now have a legal way to be a professional gold farmer.. its going to be nuts :)

Best money will be made closest to release before it gets too saturated

Blem

oh, i can see on armory i got 106 pets and missing 89, and 109 mounts and missing 83

if i didn't have full time job i would properly rush to 60 and sell the char, or is that not open from start?

James

23:43

@Blem Can you sell complete characters?

I have no looked into what you can sell on there, I thought it was items.

Blem

there was screen shots of it when they first announced the AH, but haven't seen it they scraped it

Hmm

Interesting but that would seem to be of limited value
