Bluuuurg. So pull of pancake goodness.

Invader Skoodge

WvW is pretty fun. I might have to make another character for it, though, because no range = bad.

This immobilize on the scepter is awesome.

user15026

@fbueckert I have a jealous of your pancakes. I had waffles with blueberry syrup today and they were good.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn It's my first time making pancakes.

They turned out pretty darn good, actually.

Lessons were learned in the making of these!

user15026

00:19

They look awesome. What did you learn?

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Blueberries go IN the mix before pouring onto grill!

user15026

Yes!

user15026

It's much easier that way.

OrigamiRobot

Ah, home sweet home. No more mobile chat.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn I also have many more ingredients left over, so I can make LOTS more pancakes.

user15026

00:22

@fbueckert this strikes me as a fantastic plan.

fbueckert

But the grill needs cleaning; I forgot to spray non-stick stuff on it beforehand. ><

user15026

I also like chocolate chip pancakes.

user15026

They're fun.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Just as easy, too, I bet.

user15026

@fbueckert yep! Just make them like blueberry ones.

Fluttershy

00:28

@OrigamiRobot You were gone? I didn't even notice. >_>

fbueckert

Oh, yes. On my way home from gathering ingredients, I heard the radio say it's supposed to hit -34ish tonight.

OrigamiRobot

The door to my porch was unlocked the whole time.

user15026

@fbueckert that's cold! Here it is supposed to hit -5ish

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn I know! I'm going to be doing LOTS of shivering tomorrow, waiting for the bus.

Fluttershy

00:37

So... Apparently detectives just uncovered evidence that could prove Casey Anthony killed her daughter... Buuuuut they can't do anything with it because of the Double Jeopardy law in the states....

Invader Skoodge

@Fluttershy Double Jeopardy is void in light of new evidence, I thought.

OrigamiRobot

@InvaderSkoodge This

SaintWacko

Oh, good, Chrysallids!

I need one more chitin plating

Fluttershy

@InvaderSkoodge Apparently not. If she had been tried on the state level, she could be re-tried on the federal level. But not vise-versa. She was acquitted of all charges, so double jeopardy applies, regardless of new evidence.

Fluttershy

00:52

@InvaderSkoodge They could put her on trial for perjury, but they'd have to have irrefutable evidence like a picture or video of her actually committing the crime.

Fluttershy

01:04

And then I killed the Bridge. >_>

fbueckert

@Fluttershy I'm full of breakfast-y goodness.

And debating if I want to play something or other.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert Same here! Minus the breakfast-y goodness.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy I've still got some DLC for FFXIII-2 to complete...hrm.

On the other hand, I've got the Last Story.

And I've still got some pancakes left over, too.

@fbueckert aww try to stay warm!

meh, well that was a bit boring

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn I will, no worries!

user15026

@fbueckert oh good. :D

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn It helps that I'm basically a walking furnace. :P

user15026

01:33

I have my pretty new elf ears to help me keep warm. :)

user15026

@fbueckert I am only when I sleep. Share your heat?

pixel

I've watched the first three x-men movies so far

I should probably go to sleep now

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Sadly, it doesn't work that way.

user15026

@fbueckert the system is horribly flawed, then.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Indeed.

I'm afraid you'll have to be your own heat production unit.

user15026

01:37

Someone should fix it.

user15026

@fbueckert that is less interesting and less efficient than borrowing someone else's.

SaintWacko

@pixel Nah, just stay up til 7AM again :P

pixel

I'm thinking about it

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Well, not less efficient; presumably, everyone produces just enough heat to keep themselves alive.

user15026

@fbueckert alive, yeah, but I can be alive and cold.

pixel

01:43

cold is bad

Krazer

@pixel unless it involves ice cream

pixel

@Krazer "feeling cold is bad"... I mean how many times do you eat ice cream when you're already cold?

user15026

@krazer or Popsicles.

Krazer

@pixel I for one enjoy eating ice cream when it's cold out, this way it melts slower

pixel

user15026

01:46

@krazer I like melty ice cream.

heh, xmen first class starts with a scene from one of the other movies

fbueckert

You know what's crazy? Winnipeg being the slurpee capital of the world.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn For serious.

user15026

01:48

@fbueckert that is weird.

Krazer

For the 13th year in a row nonetheless.

user15026

Yeah, so I just read.

user15026

That is really weird.

Krazer

How so?

fbueckert

@Krazer We're covered in snow for six months out of the year?

user15026

01:50

@fbueckert yeah. That.

Krazer

@fbueckert Sounds like my kinda place. Free snow cones xD

@fbueckert <some comment about not even manufacturing slurpees, just scooping up the snow>

fbueckert

@Krazer Sure, come on by!

It's supposed to hit -36 tonight.

Invader Skoodge

I officially have to learn how to cook.

My fiancee just made "shrimp francaise" with 2 sticks of butter and it came out tasting like each bite was made with 2 whole lemons.

2 whole sticks of butter.

When she said that I threw up a little in my mouth.

Fluttershy

@InvaderSkoodge So you're saying it wasn't good. Right?

Invader Skoodge

01:55

@Fluttershy That would be an accurate summary.

pixel

@InvaderSkoodge my step dad once made something with garlic in it, he mistook '3 gloves of garlic' as 3 whole things of garlic

Krazer

@InvaderSkoodge how much shrimp was actually present?

Invader Skoodge

@Krazer The ratio of breading (which tasted like lemon paste) to shrimp was about 1.5:1

There were also noodles, which were cooked in lemon garlic butter sauce.

fbueckert

02:01

@InvaderSkoodge I don't really like shrimp, but that actually sounds pretty darn good.

Krazer

@InvaderSkoodge sounds more like "Shrimp Paula Deen" than "Shrimp Francaise" xD

Invader Skoodge

@fbueckert I like lemon, but it was too much.

Lemon isn't the kind of flavor you want to overload on.

user15026

@InvaderSkoodge see I like lots of lemon and garlic flavoured.

RedRiderX

Okay, so I've been playing Rock of Ages, and I meet this guy Charlemagne. I whomp him and his Frankish kingdom, but I can't help but notice the round thing he's carrying.

The wikipedia article provides no information on it, and I can't find anymore about it. I guess this isn't the best place to ask but WHAT IS IT!?

sidenote: Would this be something I should ask on arqade? I'm now very curious as to what it is, exactly.

fbueckert

@RedRiderX Holy Hand Grenade

RedRiderX

02:10

@fbueckert Quite possibly.

I guess it could just be a undocumented Piece of Eden.

user15026

@RedRiderX It's this:

user15026

Globus cruciger

The globus cruciger (Latin, "cross-bearing orb") is an orb (lat. globus) topped (lat. gerere = to wear) with a cross (lat. crux), a Christian symbol of authority used throughout the Middle Ages and even today on coins, iconography and royal regalia. It symbolises Christ's (the cross) dominion over the world (the orb), literally held in the dominion of an earthly ruler (or sometimes celestial being such as an angel). When held by Christ himself, the subject is known in the iconography of Western art as Salvator Mundi ("Saviour of the World"). It is associated with the sceptre. History ...

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn Oh, so it's some symbolism thing.

user15026

@RedRiderX Yeah.

RedRiderX

I feel slightly disappointed.

I hoped it would be something stranger.

user15026

02:15

@RedRiderX Nope, just a common piece of iconography

user15026

In fact, here is another picture of Charlemagne with one:

user15026

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn Oh, I might remember seeing it before actually, but never had a clue what it was.

@AshleyNunn Yeah, it seems he is depicted with it often.

@AshleyNunn Thank you for learning me. :)

user15026

@RedRiderX No problem :)

Sweet.

Krazer

@OrigamiRobot If you've decent with Thief, Hard is a decent challenge

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I've been playing on Normal.

I might up it to hard though.

OrigamiRobot

I'll play on Hard just to one-up you

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot Play on normal, but turn off most of the UI for immersion ++

Particularly, turn off quest markers and just rely on The Heart instead.

So creepy.

So very, very creepy.

Also, use the heart on every npc you encounter always.

multiple times.

<3 Heart.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz I see what you mean by people who complain about the game being short are stupid. IF the first mission is any indication you could get through the game fairly quickly if you just went shooty-mcgee. but that would be stupid.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn yeah.

It's not a long game if you're doing violent/high-chaos.

Also, I mean it about the Heart.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz Does The HEart show quest markers as well?

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot @Wipqozn I hate you both. =(

@Fluttershy @LessPop_MoreFizz owns it too.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn After a fashion.

In fact, I'm so super awesome that I'm going to go back to playing KOTOR 2. I only popped into chat because this no dialogue bug is the dumbest thing ever and I wish I could fix it. :/

@Fluttershy That increases Chaos! You won't get the good ending if you keep that up!

OrigamiRobot

KOTOR 2? Blegh

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot I know where you live!

OrigamiRobot

I never even finished it.

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz Would be totally worth it. Especially if a swarm of rats came up immediately.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz @Fluttershy must be going for a high chaos run.

LessPop_MoreFizz

02:52

@OrigamiRobot 1) it was 2.50 in the latest Steam sale. 2) The restoration mod that fixes all the unfinished shit that got left out because of the horrific lucasarts shenanigans that nearly killed Obsidian is finished and out and I have that installed.

OrigamiRobot

Interesting. I loved KOTOR and was so disappointed by 2.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot KOTOR 2 is a big part of the reason I dislike Obsidian. <_< That and the insane amount of bugs in Fallout: NV over a year after release.

I still backed Project Eternity though!

So hopefully they will redeem themselves.

Wipqozn

OrigamiRobot

@Fluttershy I never had any bugs in NV. Probably because I am awesome.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot No... No it's definitely not that.

LessPop_MoreFizz

02:55

@Wipqozn There are 9 kingdoms on that map!

@OrigamiRobot Neither did I tbqh. Or rather, none that I didn't also encounter in FO3 because lolGamebryo.

Certainly none that were really problematic in any way.

That shit is what quicksave was made for. Oh no, the dude I want to loot is stuck in the wall geometry with the unique weapon I am after. What shall I ever do.

The physics provided more than enough hilarity and awesomeness to make up for their occasional glitching out.

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, those are fine.

They're helpful.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot I left those on.

OrigamiRobot

I use subtitles in everything

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, same.

Okay, time to go beat up a bunch of robots with The Force.

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz That makes sense. But I was one of the few who never had any issues with FO3. That said, I still enjoyed NV quite a bit.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Point is, I find blaming Obsidian for Bethesdas bad tech to be poor form.

Similarly, the KOTOR 2 debacle was entirely because the publisher bumped their release date forward by nearly a year at the last minute, so it was literally released unfinished.

Now Dungeon Siege 3 being boring, or Alpha Protocols hilariously dumb combat mechanics? You can tear Obsidian a new one for those all day and I'll be right there with you.

fbueckert

Speaking of Project Eternity, does that have any sort of ETA?
