Cheese bread + gouda = awesome grilled cheese. Doesn't make my voice come back or my throat hurt less but omg tasty.
@AshleyNunn Cheese in all it's forms is super tasty.
Except processed. That's the stuff you have when you run out of real cheese.
user15026
@fbueckert Yeah, processed is not cheese.
user15026
@fbueckert Tihs is gouda made by someone my sister's boyfriend knows, so it is made within an hours drive of my house, using awesome Dutch cheesemaking techniques, which makes it super awesome in my opinion.
@AshleyNunn I don't think I've ever tried gouda.
user15026
@fbueckert I like it. The plain kind is best - I don't like the spiced. Although gouda with jalapeno is also yummy.
user15026
16:13
I think it is one of those "I have Dutch family, therefore gouda" things.
@AshleyNunn I'm a big fan of old cheese. That sharpness adds awesome flavor to everything.
user15026
@fbueckert OMG yes. I love buying super old cheddars and stuff, they make my mouth so happy.
@SaintWacko Were you one of the ones playing NEO Scavenger a little while ago?
@GnomeSlice Yeah
@SaintWacko Arg. How do you find food reliably?
16:18
We don't "have" cats as much as we're gracefully allowed to bring them food whenever they are hungry (and else they are just out in the fields doing whatever, including catching mice). One prefers to just stare at use from a safe distance hiding in some bushes until we put the food down and go back into the house; the others can get a bit more friendly until they get their food. :)
user15026
@GraceNote proof of my light turning on-ness that would annoy you - I just walked back from the bathroom, which is the opposite end of my apartment from my computer - I had left teh hall light, my bedroom lights (overhead and night table lamp), the kitchen light (and the one above the stove) all on, even though it isn't even that dark in my house.
@AshleyNunn Turning them on as you walk makes sense, but you should totally turn them off as you finish that segment.
user15026
@GraceNote It was only when I sat down here that I realized how many lights were on. I got up again and turned them off.
Ah... screw this game
@GnomeSlice The Botany skill is very useful

Proof your apartment has no sound isolation - I can talk top my roommate across the apartment in her room from my computer desk while I have no voice and she hears and understands me XD
In case it was missed article Chrono Trigger released on android
@AshleyNunn That, or mind reading. Better make an autopsy to make sure she isn't a Sectoid.
user15026
@MartinSojka I dont know if she will appreciate that...
@Brian I already have Chrono Trigger on my DS. HOW MUCH PORTABILITY DO YOU NEED CHRONO TRIGGER?!
user15026
16:29
@OrigamiRobot That was my reaction too XD
@Brian If it's anything like the iOS port stay away. Terrible terrible port.
@Brian Ack, $10?
I can play it just fine using an emulator

"The single player mechanic is a gimmick -- games are meant to be played with others and it doesn't matter if it's in-person or online," he told [a]listdaily. "The first games were designed as multiplayer experiences, but when computer and console games became a thing there was a need to construct an antagonist and/or a protagonist for commercial purposes. You couldn't depend on people coming together to have a synchronous experience over a game. That would have simply stifled sales.

"And since there was no reasonable way to connect people in other ways -- the arcade was the only serious a
Plus I can't imagine the controls are good.
16:31
@YiJiang Yes, pirating a game is absolutely a valid comparison to purchasing it legitimately.
I NEED TO USE VOLT BITE ASAP!!!!
@AshleyNunn Oh, hell no
@OrigamiRobot They're awful, but that's a seperate issue.
user15026
@SaintWacko I know, right?
@AshleyNunn Was that EA talking?
Sounds like them
considering what those bastards are doing to the new CnC Generals
16:32
I am pretty sure I could play nearly every game just fine via pirating it rather than paying full price.
user15026
@SaintWacko a CEO for some company called gogogic
That doesn't make it a good idea.
When you play it in an emulator, though, you can customize the controls

Q: WWE '13 Universe Draft Mode

Paul WilliamsI'm currently playing through the WWE 2013 Universe Mode for the XBOX 360. Draft Mode is enabled and I just played through one-year of playthrough for the "season" but haven't been presented with any sort of "Draft Day" or similar activities. How do you start the Draft mode?

Q: Regarding Access to XBOX Live Silver Access

Paul WilliamsI currently have a silver account for XBOX 360 Live. As well as a few games that are asking for "season passes" for access to their DLC and the like. My question is, do I need to subscribe to the Live service in order to obtain these season passes or any other DLC?

@SaintWacko Eh, we're talking about a touch device. There's only so much you can 'customize' them - for a menu based game, they'll still suck unless you truly revamp the UI to let me just tap on menu options.
16:34
The version of chrono trigger is that of the DS so if you have a DS and have chronotrigger for it you're not missing anything @Robot
@Lazers ...He just re-asked it, rather than fix his current question.
Or @Lazers is crazy slow.
@fbueckert This
@OrigamiRobot Isn't @Lazers supposed to vomit new questions every half hour? What's going on?
I can't get to meta from work anymore to link @Lazers's magic card.

@OrigamiRobot Aw. :(
16:39
@fbueckert You are sorely mistaken.
@LessPop_MoreFizz You are talking about a game that's what, 20 years old now?
@YiJiang And still under copyright.
Comparing against the other games that are available, it seems like a price point that can only attract the nostalgic
user15026
@OrigamiRobot :( :( :(
@YiJiang And? I don't think I should be able to get a copy of Purple Rain for free either, and that's thirty years old.
user15026
16:40
@InvaderSkoodge Copyright lasts a lot longer than 20 years.
@YiJiang So the price point is exorbitant. Don't buy it. Play it on a platform for which you already own the game. Wait for it to go on sale. Buy it for a different platform. Whatever. None of these facts absolve piracy.
@AshleyNunn Longer than it should be, really.
user15026
@fbueckert Oh, yeah, but that's a whole other can of worms.
user15026
(I am a giant nerd when it comes to Digital Rights and Copyright and freedom of information and Creative Commons and crap.)
@fbueckert Eh, 20 years seems pretty reasonable to me at a minimum. You're going well beyond simply reverting the mickey mouse extensions if you cut back to 20 yrs.
In other news:
user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz This is true.
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Stay safe!
@AshleyNunn This causes me to crumble into a pile of insane confusion. =[
user15026
16:43
@GnomeSlice It breaks my brain pretty impressively.
I can't see anything from imgur so I'm just going to assume everything is star worthy.
user15026
@OrigamiRobot Basically - storm big, storm scary.
@LessPop_MoreFizz 20 years is reasonable. This life + 30 years (or whatever it is now) is stupid.
user15026
@fbueckert Life + 70, or for corporate authorship, 120 years, or life + 95, at least according to the US copyrights.
@AshleyNunn I fail to see how you should get paid for something your father made.

Videogames is owls.

@GnomeSlice This
@AshleyNunn I actually don't like the way this article is completely bashing this guy, I think he has a point, and they're not taking him seriously at all.
user15026
@GnomeSlice Eh,yes and no. His toddler comparison is pretty shit.
> Toddlers? Toddlers sit around in their own shit and think ghosts are real. Are we really using them to demonstrate how the world should work?
lololololol
Do toddlers think ghosts are real? Do they even understand the concept of ghosts?

There we go.
This is one of the best indie games I've ever played.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I wasn't trying to defend piracy. It's 1am here and my head is a little foggy. The fact is that I had already played it on an emulator, which is why I know $10 is an absurd price, at least for me
@OrigamiRobot Kind of, sort of ... not really. A toddler's world view is characterised by the fact that he or she doesn't yet understand the distinction between "What I know" and "What someone else knows." For them, everything they see is real (and also known by everyone else to be real). If they met a ghost, they'd be scared - because it's something new, not because it's a ghost. If they saw ghosts all the time, and they wouldn't harm them, they'd just accept them as part of reality ..
16:55
@LessPop_MoreFizz Where the crap did you find a disney font.
... and would think everyone else does the same.
@YiJiang It's the Squeenix tax.
@YiJiang So, because you have already pirated a game, you know 10 dollars is an absurd price point? That logic doesn't seem particularly sound.
@fbueckert My secrets are my own.
@LessPop_MoreFizz ... how the hell did you come from "played the game on an emulator" to "pirated the game"?
@LessPop_MoreFizz I wasn't saying that you should pirate it, I was stating my opinion that the price is too high
16:58
@MartinSojka Well, if you played the game on an emulator... and you didn't pay for it...
@GnomeSlice I'm interested in this.
Is that the game I won from Juan?
I can't even remember.
I don't think he ever gifted it to me.
@LessPop_MoreFizz ... and you have no friends who have it legitimately and can loan it out to you, and have an aversion to libraries, yes ...
@MartinSojka I'm sorry, I didn't know that @YiJiang collects vintage cartridges and has the equipment needed to rip from those carts.
@InvaderSkoodge It's definitely worth playing.
@LessPop_MoreFizz You don't know that he doesn't.
16:59
I still have a free copy of Civ V, if anyone wants it.
@MartinSojka Last I checked, making a rip of a copy from a library or a friends copy is still piracy.
Although I'm sure everyone who wants it already has it by this point.
@InvaderSkoodge If you don't have any takers, I'll grab it.
@fbueckert Winner!
@LessPop_MoreFizz Depends on your jurisdiction. It isn't here in Germany if it's the only way to make the program work. You just have to delete the copy afterwards.
17:00
@MartinSojka Where can I find a library that will lend out SNES games? This is something I really want to know.
"Right to use" includes "right to copy, break encryption and remove DRM if that's what needed to use it." here.
@fbueckert Hell if I knew, I never owned a console, so I just know my local library loans out computer and console games, but don't know which formats they are on.
@MartinSojka ...Dammit.
@fbueckert Civ V should be waiting for you in Steam.
@MartinSojka My local library actually has some decent PC games, but you can only loan them out for 3 weeks
I was hoping for a legal way to play some games without paying through the nose for them.
@InvaderSkoodge Yay!

I finished Rome: TW's campaign that way
Well, just one of the many campaigns

Q: Can you make chickens follow you on the Xbox?

DForck42I have the most recent version of Minecraft for the Xbox (v1.2), which allows one to make a chicken farm that won't despawn after moving too far away. From my reading it seems that on the PC you can attract chickens using either seeds or wheat, depending on the version you are on. I have attemp...

The only shop in town that I know of that sells SNES carts wants absolute maximum price for them. And refuses to negotiate.
I'm willing to pay $30/$40 for one, depending on the game, but no way, no how, am I paying $150 for one. Don't care if it comes with the box and manual, in good condition.
17:18
Eugh. This answer is garnering it's share of crap to the question.
These are pictures of the area right around me!
The first one is a road I drive every day.
Except today, obviously.
@InvaderSkoodge Try not to die.
It's also apparently a small miracle that I still have power.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I plug an xbox controller into my tablet to play PSX games
user15026
@fbueckert yeah, $150 is a bit much for an SNES game.
user15026
17:26
@InvaderSkoodge O.o stay safe, you.
@Wipqozn More worried about severe boredom once I lose power.
@InvaderSkoodge And here's where physical books come in handy.
@fbueckert I still have plenty of power and stuff to read on my Kindle.
@InvaderSkoodge You should do a data-dump of scifis questions, and print them all off. When you lose power you can amuse yourself by reading them.
I just can't read for 8 straight hours.
@Wipqozn This sounds like the absolute opposite of what I should do.
17:28
@InvaderSkoodge If you lose powre i imagine it mwill bxe for longer than 8 hours.
@Wipqozn 8 hours until I go to sleep tonight.
@AshleyNunn It's a really good game, and I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount. But not to a company that I classify as worse than EB Games.
@InvaderSkoodge and then tomorrow you probably would still be without power.
@Wipqozn Ugh.
@fbueckert What game?
17:30
@Wipqozn Ogre Battle
user15026
@fbueckert yeah I don't blame you.
@AshleyNunn I do.
@fbueckert Oooh, Ogre Battle.
I wouldn't pay $150 for the original, either.
@GraceNote I paid $50 for the PSX version of Tactics Ogre.
Since the SNES version never made it out here.
@Wipqozn Methinks the turtle should keep his head in his shell.
Steam Halloween Sale is up
user15026
17:41
Anything particularly awesome?
Orcs Must Die 2 is 50% off...
@InvaderSkoodge That's respectable.
I still haven't fully finished that game; endless maps are hard.
Not about to buy a game 5 minutes before I lose power, though.
Atom Zombie Smasher is $2.50. That's a good price for it.
@fbueckert That's a fun game
17:49
The Next Big Thing is also on sale. I guess it meets the spooky and scary criteria.
@InvaderSkoodge Right now you can only buy it from the developer directly.
@GnomeSlice I'll probably pick up Defender's Quest when I get power back.
I'm leaving it open in a tab so when Chrome restores I'll remember about it.
Trains vs. Zombies 2 is on sale! Everybody get it now!
@InvaderSkoodge You might want to wait until it's out on Steam, then.
@GnomeSlice By the time power is back, it will be.
17:52
@InvaderSkoodge ...Really?
@GnomeSlice With Irene, it was out for 3 days.
If I lose it, it will probably be longer than that this time.
@InvaderSkoodge Oh. Dunno how long it's going to be though.
> Why even bring it up? Because the game is coming to Steam, Desura, Impulse, GamersGate, and GOG.com on October 30, 2012.
WOW STUPID JAVASCRIPT COPY/PASTE BULLSHIT
@InvaderSkoodge Yeah, that.
@InvaderSkoodge Oh cool!
Destructoid is now on my list.
17:54
@InvaderSkoodge And that's why Javascript is disabled everywhere.
I hate Destructoid's stupid chat room applet, too.
Wow, the Steam store is overloaded.
Steam sucks.
@GnomeSlice Why? Because it sells you awesome games for stupidly cheap?
I should probably look at this php and SQL assignment.
@GnomeSlice You suck.
@fbueckert Lots of other places do that, and with better deals.
17:56
@GnomeSlice Like?
Steam is just horribly shitty for people with slow cnonections.
@fbueckert Gamersgate. Indievania.
Desura.
@GnomeSlice The Internet is shitty for people with slow connections.
@fbueckert Yes, but it doesn't crash every few minutes like Steam does.
17:57
@GnomeSlice Hate it. Never heard of it.
@GnomeSlice Also hate it.
@fbueckert Well, I hate Steam.
@GnomeSlice Then why are you using it?
Why does that make me different from you, or worse in some way, you hate one I like.
@fbueckert I like the idea behind it, and it's nice to have all of my games in one place, but it's horribly shitty.
@GnomeSlice I don't complain about something being shitty, and still use it.
@fbueckert Indievania
By the way, if you guys haven't you really should pick up the Lunar Pack on Indievania before BossBaddie realize they haven't changed the price there ($1 minimum).
18:00
@InvaderSkoodge Not sure if the day after tomorrow, or picture of the storm going on now.
It's worth it just for Wake, which is one of the most engaging games I've ever played.
Well... it's very engaging, anyway.
Gotta turn off my power, apparently, brb
user15026
See I have ever tried the non-Steam options and I really don't like them. Steam is so easy to use.
@AshleyNunn I stayed away from Steam for years.
And then @TrentHawkins gifted Half Life 2 to me.
user15026
@fbueckert I did when I didn't have high speed.
So he is directly responsible for all the money I've spent on it.
user15026
18:04
At least you have someone to blame.
@AshleyNunn Indeed.
I still don't like steam hah call me a luddite or anti-gaming if you will but that program eats os resources
He likes it, though, because I keep gifting stuff to him, too.
user15026
@fbueckert yeah I can see how someone might like things that are free. :p
@AshleyNunn I'm just a habitually generous guy; as he lives with me, he gets a lot of it thrown his way.
18:07
Oh hey, VTM:Bloodlines is part of the steam sale for 5 bucks.
That's a really good game that was heavily overlooked and you should all buy it and play it.
I love the random squad name generator in DF

The Bad Seducers

user15026
@fbueckert isn't that what the internet is for? ;)
@GnomeSlice Eh. Check out Cracked; at least there, they back up their claims with science.
@AshleyNunn True enough. But it doesn't mean I have to listen to it.
user15026
@fbueckert that's a very good point.
18:22
Some of UR Mag's articles are really whack.
user15026
I like Cracked because they at least try to back it up.
@AshleyNunn It's funny, and educational!
user15026
@gnomeslice I find most of them are just ridiculous to the point of stupidity.
user15026
@fbueckert exactly! I feel smarter.
18:24
@AshleyNunn Ah, no they aren't.
A lot of them are just links to cool video-game inspired art or something.
@GnomeSlice This is such a terrible website.
user15026
@gnomeslice to me they are, when I have been linked to them.
@Wipqozn Yeah, I know.
Can't wait to get home and play more Afterlight.

user15026
@fbueckert is that 60 year old woman still awesome?
18:29
@AshleyNunn She needs one more level before I can train her in minor sniper.
As it stands, she's pretty deadly already.
And once I get a few more resources, I can manufacture scopes!
user15026
Yaaaay sniper
And that will start scopeception.
@fbueckert .................
You mean 'recursive scopes'?
user15026
yes. Scopes on scopes and scopes for scopes and lots and lots of scopes
@GnomeSlice I linked a picture yesterday where a rifle had at least three scopes on it.
18:31
@fbueckert Okay?
@fbueckert He's referring to the fact that -ception is not a suffix.
@RonanForman It is now.
As evidenced by everybody knew what I was talking about.
@fbueckert NO IT ISN'T.
user15026
@ronan eh, language changes.
@fbueckert Even in the movie it didn't be recursion.
@AshleyNunn Not from internet memes.
18:32
The point of words are to convey a concept.
user15026
@ronan not true
Even if you don't like it, it still conveyed exactly what I was trying to say, and you understood it.
Hence, it has served it's purpose.
user15026
@fbueckert yes. Best argument.
@fbueckert What I got from it was 'scopes inside of scopes' which isn't what you meant at all.
You meant 'scopes on top of scopes'.
So... 'stacked scopes'.
Not 'recursive scopes'.
ಠ_ಠ
</rant>
@GnomeSlice Technically, one of the scopes was on the side of the rifle, not on top of the others.
user15026
18:34
That's a matter of interpretation, though, rather than the word being outright wrong.
@AshleyNunn I guess.
So once again, it's my fault.
Heck, I haven't even seen Inception yet.
@GnomeSlice There's no fault in this; you just interpret it differently. There's nothing wrong with that.
user15026
@gnomeslice its not about fault
@fbueckert Oh man, it's pretty good.
user15026
@fbueckert it made me nauseated and confused.
18:36
@AshleyNunn I had a Matrix marathon a few months ago. That was fun.
@AshleyNunn It did try to be more complicated than it needed to be.
user15026
@ronan that was my problem. It could have been simplified and still been effective.
user15026
@fbueckert that sounds like awesome fun.
@AshleyNunn I do that from time to time; it blows away everything else for the evening, but that's not always a bad thing.

@Wipqozn I think so, I forget, it's been a while since I looked at it.
> Enola is a horror/adventure game about serial killings. You're an unnamed character in a desolate island, without any knowledge on who you are and what you're doing there. In the island, you will visit different locations, solve puzzles and find clues to uncover mysteries about such serial killings, about who the killer is, and maybe your own identity.
> The game combines exploration, puzzle solving, death traps, and unnerving situations. Enola is not the kind of game that features scary monsters, because it focuses on a kind of fear that explores the human nature.

Well, ballsack.

user15026
Can we flag that or whatever?
@AshleyNunn That's how you do it on Area51, I think.
Maybe not.
