OrigamiRobot

Wipqozn

Perhaps I should post a picture now like @spugsley requested.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn All the cool kids are doing it. You want to be cool right?

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I'm too cool to care about being cool.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Ah, denial.

Wipqozn

tortoise shades

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn bow chicka bow wow

Needs more top hat, though.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Yeah. I often get lost staring at myself in the mirror.

@OrigamiRobot I concur.

I've always wanted a top hat.

I'm sure it would go well with my bow ties.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn hatsinthebelfry.com/product/belfry-john-bull.html

That's mine.

Wipqozn

$80? My word.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Worth it.

Wipqozn

17:20

I'm really cheap though.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn You look nearly identical to my childhood friend, Billy Yost.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Perhaps I AM your childhood friend, and I just changed my identity.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Like eerily identical.

Wipqozn

He must have been one handsome devil then.

OrigamiRobot

Like, it's messing my brain up how identical you look.

Wipqozn

17:24

Mission accomplished.

OrigamiRobot

I need some time to myself on this one...

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I'm the same way every time I see a picture of myself.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn We need to know the title text for these

I move for Nedroid onebox support!

agent86

@OrigamiRobot you looked at a picture of @Wipqozn and now you need some time to yourself? May I be the first to exclaim "ew."

OrigamiRobot

17:32

@agent86 I am a robot. Please explain what you mean in very detailed and technical terms.

agent86

@OrigamiRobot one might conclude, based on the previous conversation, that you managed to reach a state of what we humanoids might call "arousal" at the sight of a formally dressed @Wipqozn. That you require time to yourself tends to indicate you intend to address these feelings in a private manner.

Wipqozn

@agent86 I think everyone was put in the same state.

OrigamiRobot

@agent86 DOES NOT COMPUTE

I broke the dvd drive from my xbox 360 while trying to jtag it so I could install XBMC or something like that on it. Now I cant even update xbox live anymore or do anything else except stream movies from my PC to the xbox. Is there any other way to install XBMC or similar software to the xbox36...

Suppose you have an area completely walled off with structures and filled with units, such that no more units can enter. Then, you drop a force field on it. What happens?

starcraft-2 protoss

FAE

@Wipqozn 'Strue. I only have like, 4.

Wipqozn

@FAE You should try to get a few more before winter.

FAE

@Wipqozn Yes, because y'know, I need to have absolutely no free time whatsoever and want to break my heart over long distance even more. :P

Wipqozn

@FAE My thoughts exactly.

Actually, that's not true. I just thought you could use it to get mroe gifts.

user15026

Okay, as much as I think Fluttershy is awesome, this hoodie is a bit much even for me....

FAE

20:01

@Wipqozn I don't celebrate Valentine's Day or my birthday, man, I'm not even capitalizing on what I could have.

@AshleyNunn I demand that @Fluttershy get this. This must happen.

Wipqozn

@FAE You're an odd one.

user15026

@FAE Oh...man. Never considered that. THIS MUST HAPPEN

FAE

@Wipqozn Oooor I don't like the idea that people feel obligated to get me stuff.

user15026

@Fluttershy in the crazy Fluttershy hoodie. YES

FAE

@AshleyNunn I KNOW RIGHT

Wipqozn

20:03

@FAE Exactly. You're crazy.

user15026

I like making my own ocassions. Like "Today is sunny and happy so I bought you a cookie" day.

Wipqozn

You really need to learn to be more greedy and self-centered.

Tim Stone

@FAE You live in the Netherlands, so not celebrating your birthday to avoid the chance of a circle party is reasonable.

FAE

@TimStone Yeah, "Let's all sit around properly and sip tea" is not exactly high on my list of priorities.

Tim Stone

:D

FAE

20:04

Everyone still comes over for a cup of coffee anyway but only briefly.

badp

Happy birthday FAE, even if it's not

FAE

lol, not til next month

you're still one older to us!

Raven Dreamer

@Jin I've a free schedule, so just whenever is best for you

OrigamiRobot

@RavenDreamer I'll take one schedule, please.

Fluttershy

20:07

@FAE I don't have $60, and they only have 7 left.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot You look incredibly dapper, sir, I approve.

OrigamiRobot

@FAE Yes, that is the good picture.

FAE

@Fluttershy Okay, but if you had $60 for a Fluttershy hoodie, would you get it and wear it?

user15026

@FAE crosses fingers please say yes please say yes

Fluttershy

@FAE I would.

Raven Dreamer

20:09

Also, The Avengers was pretty good

FAE

@Fluttershy I really really really wish I had $60 right now.

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn The placement of the face looks weird. It looks like a tumor

user15026

@OrigamiRobot O.O :(

Fluttershy

@FAE lol So do I.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot Guys always look better in formal wear.

Raven Dreamer

20:09

I think I would pay money, just to watch Robert Downey Jr. banter with people

OrigamiRobot

@FAE I would rather wear business formal than business casual.

@RavenDreamer Bruce Banter?

FAE

I am such a sucker for men in tuxes. Prom night was lovely, if only to see all the guys dress up.

OrigamiRobot

@FAE Anyway, I meant as opposed to the picture in the star list.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot What's wrong with that one?

user15026

@FAE I agree with this statement.

OrigamiRobot

20:11

@FAE My face looks all messed up.

Raven Dreamer

scribbles notes in a notebook

FAE

@AshleyNunn I go all stupid and swoony, seriously.

user15026

@FAE There's just something about it, for sure.

FAE

@AshleyNunn I like ladies in tuxes too. :)

user15026

Although the right girl in a tux is also swoon worthy

FAE

20:12

Yesssssssssss

user15026

@FAE Haha you typed it faster than I did

user15026

Now I want excuses to get dressed up all fancy

FAE

@AshleyNunn I have a suit in my closet.

user15026

@FAE Oooh yay

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn I like winter time because I can wear my top hat with my bridge coat.

Without all the dressing up.

user15026

20:14

@OrigamiRobot That does sound like pretty much awesomesauce

FAE

I haven't been all dressed up in a long time though. One of my ex-g/f's was into loligoth fashion and I went with her to a tea party once where she was loli dressed and I was dressed Kodona-style.

user15026

I really dont own any dressy stuff....I never go anywhere, ever, that requires it

FAE

@AshleyNunn I am super duper lazy about clothing, so most of my stuff is pants and t-shirts and plain shirts. I do not dress fancily.

The only reason I wear clothes outside is because I can't be naked.

11

I'm not that into fashion.

user15026

@FAE Um....yes please ;)

user15026

@FAE I like the idea of dressing all super fancy but it is a lot of work - and especially once makeup is required. Without my glases I can see all of 4 inches from my face....it is a problem.

Raven Dreamer

20:16

@FAE Me too.

FAE

@AshleyNunn I had a swanky fedora and a nice black tie.

Raven Dreamer

Also, it gets cold.

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn Unfortunately, I cannot find a picture.

user15026

@FAE Oooh yay that does sound lovely

FAE

@AshleyNunn Makeup is too much work, I can't be arsed, haha. My eyes used to be that bad as well before lasik.

user15026

20:17

@OrigamiRobot sadface well, I will expect one when it gets to be wintery again

user15026

@FAE yeah, I dont think I can do lasik which is disappointingsauce

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn Nevermind. Incoming.

FAE

@AshleyNunn Aw

user15026

@OrigamiRobot oh yay

OrigamiRobot

It's not my bridge coat, though. :/

user15026

20:19

@OrigamiRobot But it is very lovely, regardless. :D

FAE

@OrigamiRobot You look super swank

OrigamiRobot

Bridge coat looks like this

FAE

@OrigamiRobot Niiiice

OrigamiRobot

@FAE It's all snowy under a streetlight. That's the secret.

FAE

haha

user15026

20:21

@OrigamiRobot Oh, that would look awesome with the hat.

FAE

Man, why is my mom not picking up the phoooone

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn I upgraded from that coat -> Peacoat -> Bridge Coat

Raven Dreamer

@FAE She's in Ohio?

OrigamiRobot

Very fancy when I button it all the way up.

FAE

@RavenDreamer That would be... odd, were that to be the case

Raven Dreamer

20:23

@FAE Sorry. Avengers filmed in Cleveland. Now I'm thinking Ohio is the solution to every question.

Is it just me, or Does Diablo 3's diablo look like a woman?

20:24

@agent86 tips hat

@AshleyNunn Don't expect too much. I'm not much of a picture person. That one only exists because a friend insisted.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Fair enough - I am not really a big fan of pictures of me either

FAE

@AshleyNunn Same here

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn @spugsley could probably sneak you a couple.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Good to know .:D

Raven Dreamer

You are all beautiful ladies.

OrigamiRobot

20:29

@RavenDreamer Thanks ;)

user15026

@OrigamiRobot I know, I know, you're the beautiful-est....

Raven Dreamer

OrigamiRobot is a beautiful mustachioed lady.

@RavenDreamer What? Who starred this? Lies and slander I say!

Ben Brocka

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Sorry, it's buggy, you have to restart it when you want to do anything...

OrigamiRobot

20:39

@GnomeSlice lol I know I was just giving you a hard time

GnomeSlice

Last night I couldn't find any servers to play on because nearly all of them said 'you can't play here because the server have downloadable content you do not'. There is no downloadable content...

And you can only try one server before you have to restart the game to try another.

@BenBrocka Prinnies aren't known for their trolling - they're known for their dying.

GnomeSlice

I need to download 1,148.7 Mb at a speed of about 3.0 kb/s.

Anyone want to help me figure out how long this will take?

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice multiply the Mb by 333. It's about that many seconds

GnomeSlice

...Ah.

murgatroid99

20:49

@GnomeSlice multiply by another 8 if it's actually MB (bytes instead of bits)

GnomeSlice

@murgatroid99 Yeah, megabytes

Ballsack.

skovacs1

@GnomeSlice @ 3 kbps? really?

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice how do you even get a 3 kb/s connection?

GnomeSlice

@skovacs1 It's gone up to 11.8

I assume my mother is downloading something.

I'll have to wait and download it overnight, I guess. Should speed up to about 60 kb/s then.

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice you have dial up?

GnomeSlice

20:51

@murgatroid99 No, lol.

skovacs1

@GnomeSlice at about 12 kbps, you're looking at close to a day. At 60 kbps, you're looking close to 5.5 hours.

GnomeSlice

I say 'lol' because what I have isn't much better.

murgatroid99

@skovacs1 you sure about that? Unless I did something wrong, I got something on the order of days

several

skovacs1

@murgatroid99 right. I didn't multiply by 8.

@GnomeSlice at about 12 kbps, you're looking at close to 8 days. At 60 kbps, you're looking close to 2 days.

GnomeSlice

@skovacs1 I can usually download a gigabyte overnight so it must get higher than that.

murgatroid99

20:56

@GnomeSlice google says that's closer to a few hundred kbps

GnomeSlice

@murgatroid99 I dunno about THAT...

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice maybe a couple hundred depending on how long "overnight" is

user15026

I am going to pick up Kingdom Hearts 3D when it comes out (or around then), but it is nice to know there will be a demo. No idea when, though - if it is anything like the NIntendogs and Cats demo, it could be like a year after the game releases >.<

FAE

@AshleyNunn Ugh that sucks.

if it's late I mean

skovacs1

@GnomeSlice You tell me. It's your connection. (((1,148.7 * 1024 = 1176268.8) * 8 = 9410150.4) / 3600 s/hr = 2613.9306666666666666666666666667) / n kb/s = hours so for 12, it's actually 9 days at 217.828 hours, and for 60, it's 43.566 hours which is less than 2 days.

user15026

21:01

@FAE Yeah, I am hoping it won't be. Because I would like to check it out...hoping we get really lucky and it comes out pre-launch

user30

Q: Can the Wii take screenshots of Virtual Console games?

Umm, aren't questions about pre-loading going to be obsolete as soon as the game releases?

Is there anything about pre-loading that still applies after release?

FAE

@OrigamiRobot I was just wondering about this as well

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot No, close it.

Too localized in time.

OrigamiRobot

The fact that it was still open made me wonder if there was something I was missing.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot The only reason I hadn't voted on it yet was because Oak hadn't actioned it at all

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot It's still open because it's about Diablo 3, and people around here tend to bend the rules when a game they're interested in is involved.

OrigamiRobot

21:51

@FAE My thoughts exactly.

@GnomeSlice I don't know if that is true.

@FAE Well, now you don't have to :P

FAE

@GnomeSlice This is great stuff, thanks. Orchestras make everything better for me.

GnomeSlice

@FAE If you want straight up orchestral, I can find you some better stuff, although this guy did do some.

FAE

@GnomeSlice Nah, I like the mix. It's partly why I'm so into symphonic metal.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn @FAE Check out Blake Robinson.

FAE

Not that I don't like just orchestras, but I'm feeling a little scattered tonight and am having trouble focusing on things so it's not the best time to be trying to check out new artists

Oh neat, he did some Bioshock and Deus Ex stuff apparently...

...And skyrim and Resident evil apparently. Huh. Haven't listened to him in a while.

I love the Deus Ex theme.

I should play through that game again sometime soon.

GnomeSlice

@GnomeSlice It's the tag showing up in the title
