Good evening, Bridge.

Ok, what happened while I was gone? OCTGN sorted itself out?

Fluttershy

@fbueckert From the look of the comments, the guy from OCTGN got pretty heated, said some stuff he shouldn't have, or something... All of his comments, and his answer are removed, and their site no longer sends people here.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Well, I got what I wanted, but I still feel bad about it.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert Why feel bad? They shouldn't have tried dumping that on us in the first place.

LessPop_MoreFizz

03:26

@Fluttershy Perhaps because it ended in vitriol, the OCTGN folks were well intentioned, and were treated like shit with an ever shifting, poorly articulated counterargument that basically existed to provide a sheen of legitimacy to "THIS FEELS FISHY I DON'T LIKE IT"

Just maybe that might be a good reason to feel bad?

fbueckert

@LessPop_MoreFizz Y'know, that wasn't at all what I was trying to do. Maybe I sucked at explaining myself, but I don't appreciate being derided for making an honest attempt at trying to explain it.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Okay then, revision 2:

Perhaps because it ended in vitriol, the OCTGN folks were well intentioned, and were treated like shit with an ever shifting, poorly articulated counterargument that came off as an attempt to post-facto get rid of them because it felt fishy.

whether that was your intention or not, at no point in this entire fiasco did I not get that impression from you.

fbueckert

I don't deny that was my initial assumption; hence the whole "Wait, what? We're providing tech support for something we know nothing about?" deal.

And maybe I should've left it at that. But at no point, once it was stated that people using the SE network as part of their support was kosher, did I ever even address that part again.

At that point, all it was about was if it was a good fit here or not.

I don't see how my counterargument ever shifted; I was trying to keep it focused ON the platform itself, and I didn't understand what he was missing.

I even invited him into chat so I could understand him.

Whatever. I tried. I'm done with it.

@Ullallulloo I wouldn't know; I barely pay attention to Facebook, and haven't signed up for G+ at all.

Yi Jiang

@Koviko It does, yes

Ullallulloo

@Koviko plus.google.com/u/0/games

Koviko

@YiJiang Then we can't we just get everyone to switch?

I mean, I don't want Google to be all-powerful

user15026

It took me 3 months to get brave enough to use SE

Koviko

But I like it better than FB.

@AshleyNunn It took me a year after knowing it existed, and then another year after signing up just to "claim" my username.

Grace Note

15:13

@AshleyNunn Oh?

Jason Berkan

@AshleyNunn SE for Q&A or SE for chat?

user15026

@JasonBerkan SE for Q&A. Chat took even longer

user15026

@GraceNote I was worried about how to do things properly and how to work everything

Grace Note

Ahha

fbueckert

@YiJiang I would've blocked those people after the first one.

Yi Jiang

15:15

@fbueckert I'm not in that conversation, thank goodness

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn I just jump in with both feet.

Yi Jiang

Call me elitist, but I prefer to hang out in spaces where people can and chose to spell properly

fbueckert

If I'm going to do something, I see no reason not to go all out with it.

@YiJiang And this is why I started coming around.

Yi Jiang

The 'chose' part is pretty important. None of these people are illiterate. They're studying in Singapore's best school. Yet they communicate like they're brain dead on Facebook

@YiJiang Peer pressure blows.

fbueckert

> The Infernal Machine is a device that will allow level-60 players to battle “uber” versions of some of Sanctuary’s most nefarious bosses. While the rewards for defeating these bosses will be great, some assembly is required.

Grace Note

@YiJiang Net tends to do this to a lot more people than it should

user15026

@fbueckert Yeah....I am a very cautious bean

user15026

I remember being so anxious in chat here at first, because Iwas like OMG WORDS WORDS ARE HARD

Grace Note

First time in a community is always pretty silent

user15026

15:24

Yeah. I was like oh man they are all going to think I am so freaking weird.

Martin Sojka

@AshleyNunn See, it helps being sure in the knowledge that you are, in fact, pretty damn fucking weird. As is the case with me.

Jason Berkan

Except we're all freaking weird.

user15026

Yeah, once i figured that out, it was okay

fbueckert

@JasonBerkan the Bridge wouldn't be the Bridge if we all didn't add our own brand of crazy to it.

And it would be ever so much more boring.

user15026

We all bring our own particular brand of weird insanity and we dump it all in and we get the Bridge. It is glorious and fantastic and strange and sometimes we even talk about video games.

For example, you didn't opt to get a stuffed yak

user15026

No I did not. Although it was quite tempting to do so.

Sterno

@fbueckert They just keep beating that game with the "make it easier" stick, don't they?

@StrixVaria More x-com for you This jerk reviewer got to play it already. lots!

@AshleyNunn wipes away tortoise tear We're such wonderful people!

I love discovering new composers. Thanks Google.

fbueckert

@Sterno Yeah. I've beaten the game already, so anything that makes the game easier just allows me to farm that much more efficiently.

operation: convince mother in law to buy it for my birthday seems to have been a smashing success

@Wipqozn YOU?! you haven't succumbed to the poison I hid in your toothpaste yet? CURSES!

Sterno

@agent86 As an Arqade mod, it's your duty to get some review copies of games here so that blog posts can be written about them!

Yi Jiang

15:51

Every time I go to the BBC and see rocks thrown at embassies over a goddamn YouTube video a little part of me dies inside

agent86

@Sterno I actually managed to do that once with the xbox release of the witcher 2. they were just looking for random bloggers though.

Grace Note

@agent86 Tooth paste is a cleaner, meant to erase nasties. Of course putting poison didn't work, you might as well have just mixed in the antidote yourself.

agent86

@GraceNote I still have much to learn about murder it seems :(

Wipqozn

@GraceNote Don't give him the benefit of your expertise!

Grace Note

@Wipqozn But how would I end you?

Q: Why do I get un-queued while levelling?

I am currently in the process of finishing levelling one of each class before the start of the next expansion through a combination of questing and completing battlegrounds. At the lower levels it is only taking me 10-15 minutes to complete each level and move onto the next one, however, I have...

Wipqozn

@GraceNote Why would you want to end an innocent little tortoise like me?

agent86

@Wipqozn new plan - poisonous compounds on your remote!

Wipqozn

Grace Note

@Wipqozn Well, you could ascribe to the theory of reincarnation, in which an honorable death to a good soul would mean that you could return to this world in a better form.

Or you could just realize that you're evil because I said so.

agent86

@Wipqozn you don't scare me!

Wipqozn

15:57

@GraceNote is the big evil looking tortoise with murder in her eyes, and I'm the poor, innocent, defenseless small tortoise just trying to get by...

Grace Note

Geezers, you try to look up a humorous video game quote and instead you get a result saying "The Bible is evil because I said so, and I am right"

user15026

Whaaaat

agent86

oh snap!

Wipqozn

@GraceNote You stumbled onto /r/Atheism?

agent86

can't argue with that logic.

Grace Note

16:02

@Wipqozn No, apparently a place called "Ultimate Freedom Quest"

I'm actually not sure if it's a pro-religion place that's citing someone saying that stupid, or if it's an anti-religion place that is actually making that claim

tiddy

Are those the only 2 possibilities?

Grace Note

No, actually, there's a pretty varied gradient of possibilities in between those two

Turns out it's a summary of a viewpoint used as a launchpad to point out circular reasoning

So, on the left side of the gradient, just minus the "pro-religion" part

agent86

@Sterno oh, I read this and now I want. I want so bad. Well, too bad, family. I'm going to be obsessed for a few months it looks like.

bwarner

" South America’s efficient questioning and dissection techniques, which allow the player to complete autopsies and interrogations instantly." I'm a little worried what exactly they are trying to represent with this.

OrigamiRobot

GraceNote is alive? Rejoice!

tiddy

@GraceNote I bestow upon you my gratitude for the timely, scrupulous response conveyed through the medium of the written word.

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot I thought you already talked with me in the past two days

OrigamiRobot

It must have been some other robot.

Q: Why are the two universes in Fringe not more divergent?

Mad Scientist

@LessPop_MoreFizz You seem somehow fascinated by that user

fbueckert

@MadScientist It's like watching a train wreck.

It's horrible and terrifying, but you can't look away.

Yi Jiang

16:49

@Sterno I don't know what's worse, the OP trying to prove a negative or the fact that Fringe's alt universe arc really hasn't been that well written, leaving plot holes like this all over the place

fbueckert

What the crap is this?

Yi Jiang

I don't even...

fbueckert

Happily, he's left us alone lately. I'm grateful for that.

Mad Scientist

@fbueckert Unfortunately that rumor seems to be distributed acrosss the internet. I considered nuking the question immediately if it had been only one fringe site claiming that.

fbueckert

@MadScientist Nothing like sensationalist articles to get views.

Q: Find out the latest version of Minecraft

Is there a programmatic source for checking what the latest version of Minecraft is. Ie. An RSS feed or other URL from an official source that states the latest release version? Ideally without scraping HTML.
