@Fluttershy This. 2 is awful.
@Fluttershy many things in life can be described as "quick", "fun" and "amazing"
why is 2 bad
@kalina Omai.
you get to play as a big daddy, none of the gameplay changes, they resuse maps, and the plot goes off the deep end
what is possibly wrong?
unfortunately the really "fun" and "amazing" things generally don't last as long as I'd like
01:01
@Johann Off the deep end? After 1? ... Right.
Alright... Gonna try and beat it on 1999 Mode without using a Dollar Bill machine.
pun intended
original bioshock was so much scarier
scarier than amnesia
I don't think I've ever played a genuinely scary game
@kalina There's at least one scene in Bioshock that will likely make you jump.
violin scene
@fl
slender is not that scary
01:03
@Johann Please, do use the autocomplete feature.
just noise and static
does it not work
many things make me jump, like sudden changes in volume, or electrocuting myself
worst is the spider splicers
Press Tab after you entered @fl ... Results in @Fluttershy.
and houdini
but wont it still link to fluttershy?
the grenade launcher was SOOO OP
esp w/ upgrades
01:05
A) below a certain amount of characters, it doesn't actually ping, B) other people like to know who you're referring to without having to keep in mind who's around right now.
how many characters @feichin
did that work
?
I believe it's 3. Again: Do use the autocomplete feature.
Three characters.
well come on you know its you when it is feichin
Also, use the reply button when replying to someone
01:06
unless theres someone named feichin_Xx or something
@YiJiang'sEvilClone what if he doesn't want to?
if this was reddit nobody would care
Then go back to reddit.
reddit is boring
You are getting annoying at this point.
01:08
why?
@Johann You're comparing a chatroom to reddit.
if i insult both of them does that cancel out?
im just pointing out flaws of each of them that I dont like, and comparing them
@Johann If I go off on a tangent to explain the individual layers of "annoying" that you're starting to achieve, I'm probably gonna leave mid-typing and ram my head into a wall.
@kalina THEN I'LL SMASH HIS FACE IN Ask him more insistently
I am going to delay playing Bioshocks even longer, and return to playing Tomb Raider
01:10
well that escalated quickly
how is tomb raider?
it looks amazing
its a game
@FEichinger Well let's see, the typos, the insistence on not using features of the site as they're intended, the inability to speak in complete sentences and unwillingness to spell other people's names correctly...
sounds like fun
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's ok, he will face the same fate as everybody who has come before him
you dont complete sentences
01:11
Oooooh, and a pet peeve of mine - calling me "Yi". That's not my name.
NOOOO not the ban
@kalina Don't do it!
@YiJiang'sEvilClone
@Johann banning is the first stage
there are you happy
@kalina
01:12
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Can I call you @YiJi?
then we subtly poke and prod at you until you explode in rage and fury
it's like water torture
@Johann Was that so complicated no?
have I appeased the bridge gods now
and well, once you explode in fury, many more bans follow
@kalina One for every bit.
01:13
my pinkie cried as I dragged it across the cheetoed dusted landscape, toward the silvery metropolis known as "tab"
@Fluttershy ಠ_ಠ
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That's never stopped me from saying @OrigamiRob.
@Fluttershy ಠ_ಠ
There it is.
hey can we talk about games
video games
they are quite fun
01:14
I can stare with the power of a thousand suns
@Johann No. They are off-topic here.
As indicated by the leading "-" on the games tag.
ooooh
so no fun either
that explains a lot
fun is also off topic
COUGH
well if you're not having fun, feel free to set fire to yourself
2
01:15
Yup. We hate fun.
I wish I had Mass Effect and ME2 on PC. =\
to me bioshock is work
@Fluttershy I've just finished playing them again
I say "again", I played them all three times each back to back
@kalina Quite the literal flamebait, eh?
HAR
01:16
@kalina I recently got ME3 to play the multiplayer with some friends. Then I realized I wanted to play the trilogy again. =(
@FEichinger shrug, I'm not being mean, I just like purging things with fire
wow
or. WOW
@Fluttershy well there were a couple of DLC I hadn't played, and I needed new playthroughs to save certain people to get conversational options in the new DLCs

Q: Minecraft server help

Whale_ManiacI have a cool server, but the we ran out of memory and I can't fix it without getting a new IP and losing all the people that play on my server. Is there anyway to fix this and get more memory? Thanks!

01:17
so I played through multiple times
hello
ME1 is so awkward on PC
hi @LessPop_MoreFizz
you have reached chat
I started watching that episode you were talking about
I am watching a WoW stream. Wat is wrong with me. :/
01:17
I say started, because I passed out shortly after
watching Wow. WOW
@LessPop_MoreFizz let me know when you start playing again, I will reactivate my accounts
@kalina Sometimes, I get this urge to get the ME trilogy on Steam. Then, I play TF2 and it passes.
@kalina Not gonna. Just watching my old guild make history.
tf2 is the ultimate time killer
01:17
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hullo.
@Yawus I don't think you can get the trilogy on Steam
I SHALL CONSUME BREAKFAST, THEN DEPART TO THE LIBRARY, WHERE I WILL DROWN IN A SEA OF BOOKS
finally more people are on this chat
(They're going for a world 4th, their best finish ever, and beating Exovodka for good measure is delicious revenge.)
I'm sure they could use a rogue
01:18
breakfast. at 7
cough cough
@Johann not everybody is in the same timezone as you
@Yawus ME3 is still Origin only, as far as I remember, so, that's a no anyway.
@kalina Well, I think it is out on PS3. But again, TF2.
so... 6
@kalina No, they definitely do not need me. They have some pretty pro rogues these days.
01:19
@Johann 2:19 actually
@LessPop_MoreFizz har, you said pro and rogue in the same sentence
And I cannot commit to 20 hrs/week of raiding until 2 AM.
@kalina I'll have you know I put up some world #1 parses in my day.
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's like a job.
@LessPop_MoreFizz meh, so did I, it's not that special
I held the record for no-glaives Brutallus DPS at one point.
if WoW made special things you could get at 3 in the morning, everyone would stay up
01:20
I... was a Discipline Priest?
its like the wartune bosses at midnight
@Johann Once upon a time they did.
@Yawus disc priest best class/spec in game
Oh world boss phone trees, how I loathed you so.
those things are pure evil
01:20
so underrated until recently
it was like tf2 will halloween
with the UHHH
I'm now going to avoid the rest of this WoW conversation because I'm still a recovering addict
user20683
Fury Warrior, Affliction/Demo Warlock and Retro Paladin
@kalina Do what I'm doing and drool at Wildstar previews.
I should have a Beta invite soon and I am psyched about this.
WoW addict. try everquest
01:21
@LessPop_MoreFizz I actually launched Tomb Raider, and now I'm looking at the start screen
user20683
the first one at launch, second around the time of the introduction of honor and the Paladin for TBC
user20683
then I quit
or EVE
user20683
been 5 years
or starcraft
user20683
01:21
in both cases
@kalina FOURTY. PLAYER. RAIDS.
the problem here is that I've lost forward momentum so I'm probably not going to get past it now
@kalina I got laughed out of every PUG raid I joined. Luckily, my guild was nice.
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz I organized those
@WorldEngineer Wildstar is going to have them!
user20683
01:22
was usually second or third tank
am I the only one here. who doesnt play Wow
@Johann Most of us don't, but used to.
Important distinction.
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz what in the blue blazes is Wildstar?
@Yawus I could reactivate and return to my old server, I'd get invited to the top guild on the realm just by saying hi with crap gear from the start of this expansion just because of how good I've been historically
but I am resisting
@WorldEngineer New MMO in development that looks pretty awesome.
01:22
AHA
user20683
I have a collectors edition account
must not watch video
too weird
@LessPop_MoreFizz meh, honestly I've not played a "good" MMO since before I started trying to quit wow
EVE has lasted the longest but I'm getting bored of that now too
what about tf2
SOOOO fun
01:24
TF2 is not an MMO
it's also nothing special
it is massive, multiplayer, and online
it is special because it is a free FPS
it's not "massive"
@Johann It is not massive.
AND HATS
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's Ratchet and Clank Online O_O
01:25
millions of players
@Johann so is planetside 2
MASSIVE
@WorldEngineer It definitely has a similar art vibe.
and planetside 2 is massive
so they are both massive
01:25
@Johann You do realize that the word 'Massive' means something very specific.
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz Humor is similar and I think that voice actor was in it
And that TF2 is not it.
user20683
Mankind was my first MMO
@Johann It doesn't just mean 'lots of people play it.'
01:26
I am certainly categorising @Johann as the next incarnation of Retrosaur
@Johann Yes, but in the context of the phrase 'Massively Multiplayer' it is a technical term.
@kalina That's number 3 in a week now.
A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMO and MMOG) is a multiplayer video game which is capable of supporting large numbers of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played on the Internet. Many games have at least one persistent world, however others just have large numbers of players competing at once in one form or another without any lasting effect to the world at all. These games can be played on any platform, be it the personal computer, a game console such as the internet capable PSP, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, PS Vita or Wii, or mobile devices and ...
user20683
@kalina must... assume... good faith
user20683
01:26
it's one of the oldest still active MMOs out there
@Johann TF2 doesn't support "large numbers of players simultaneously"
why not?
> MMOGs host a large number of players in a single game world, and all of those players can interact with each other at any given time.
TF2 is a lobby-based online shooter. Just like most self-dubbed "MMOFPS"es.
many games have one world
READ ARTICLE
user20683
01:27
I'm still pissed about Warhammer Online and Dark Millenium Online
user20683
Dust 514
you are thinking of MMORPG
user20683
that's an MMO shooter
@Johann no we're not
yes we were talking about MMOs
01:28
I'm starting to scratch my keyboard trying to restrain myself ...
"MMO" != 32 players
user20683
Mankind is an MMO RTS
@LessPop_MoreFizz So what sort of MMO is it?
@Johann The thing about TF2 is that you only have maybe two dozen players in a given 'world' capable of interacting with each other. That is the opposite of an MMO.
Please, for the love of god, someone, end it.
user20683
01:28
This room was placed in timeout for 1 minute; the topic of this room is "General Chat Room for Arqade.com. The main quarters of Arqade's SEI AskQuestion Mothership, wherein we celebrate one million messages (chat.stackexchange.com/messages/8706905/history)."; - conversation should be limited to that topic.
4
user20683
next time it will be 5 minutes. Let's keep it sane...ish
not sure the timeout was needed -.-
why does the timer count down by threes?
Eh? Why was the room locked?
yeah overboard
01:29
What...? I was gone for about two minutes...
And I come back to a 30 second countdown?
yeah
@Johann you are overboard
for what?
@FEichinger it's ok, it's only a matter of time before the baiting starts
the MMO stuff
01:30
@Brant Because stupidity
it was a healthy argument, not an out of control flame war
@WorldEngineer Thank you, btw.
@Johann wasn't an argument, you were wrong
we both sited sources, didnt cuss
user20683
01:30
@Johann go start a room for that
civilized
we were just stating facts
@Johann It was less an argument, and more you being objectively wrong while everyone else tried to correct you.
2
me too
objectively wrong is the most fun kind of wrong
01:31
Better trailer
in other news, that time out gave me time to load my tomb raider save
ok so ill bite
what is an MMO
@kalina Enjoy Lara Croft snuff game.
Hoo boy...
01:32
@Johann a game capable of supporting large numbers of players in the same environment concurrently
user20683
anyone who wants to debate what an MMO is or isn't can go talk about that there
@Johann It is a multiplayer online game in which the number of concurrent players on one server or 'world' is, y'know, 'massive'.
user20683
subject is closed here
inb4 5 minutes
(Hint, anything under 100 is not massive. The specific number at which you cut it off is subject to debate.)
01:33
@LessPop_MoreFizz but her hair moves around in the wind
And when we talk about large, I'm pretty sure we mean in computer science terms of sufficiently large.
how you can crawl through mud and have hair like that is still beyond me though
states most MMO have multiple servers where a SMALL amount of players interact
1 min ago, by World Engineer
subject is closed here
oh well
lost forever to the sands of time
user20683
@Johann same article states "MMO systems typically have hundreds or thousands of people playing simultaneously"
yes
</discussion>
true true
so, TressFX
looks really cool
01:34
it didnt say one world
although it's a lot of effort just to make hair blow around in the wind
just many players on the games
HEY GUYS, I JUST HAD AN ICE CREAM SANDWICH. IT WAS DELICIOUS </distraction>
mmm
you've just officially made my bait list
01:35
chocolate ice cream
or vanilla
user20683
bacon
@Yawus Now I want an ice cream sandwich. =(
Vanilla.
user20683
except I don't do meat
user20683
pity
01:35
checklist - banned in a day - checked jk
@Fluttershy If you live in within ten minutes by car, I'd drive one over to you.
user20683
@Johann not yet but don't test it.
@WorldEngineer vegetarians for life
now back to MMO
@Yawus I probably don't. =(
01:36
Please don't tell me we're going to argue about vegetarianism now?
yes
can we?
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's... interesting
Argument about vegetarianism: There are vegetables, there is meat. Some people eat both, some people only eat one. If you only eat one, it doesn't affect the people who eat both and vice-versa. Argument over.
Sounds like Borderlands, but in action MMORPG
01:38
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'll wait until you've been playing it six months, reckon it's the best game ever, etc
and then I will start playing it
because my hard disk currently looks like a graveyard for MMOs that I've tried and discarded
As much I like to trumpet skill over money/time invested/what have you, some elements to shooters just don't mesh with MMORPGs.
Shooters tend to value skill over everything else (amount of skill can vary between games), while MMOs tend to value time invested.
@kalina It looks like the beta has a NDA
It's a shame there are no decent story driven MMOFPSs with RPG elements
@YiJiang'sEvilClone since when do NDAs matter?
user20683
@kalina Dust 514 might count
@WorldEngineer Playstation exclusive, never going to happen
01:40
@kalina Firefall was going there, and then forced eSports became more important.
user20683
@kalina fair enough
If I spend X amount of hours getting this awesome armor set in an MMO, I don't feel like it was worth it if I just got killed in one hit by a headshot from some lucky/skilled newbie.
user20683
@Yawus That's EVE's model in a nutshell
I had a great pun on vegatarism
user20683
a newbie with a minimal time investment in a frigate with the right mods can tear a battleship in half
01:40
The basic problem with MMOs is still the fact that it takes a thousand fold more time to create unique, interesting content than to complete said content
oh well
aha so you DO argue about MMO when im away
user20683
@Johann not about the definition
@Johann Not about the definition of MMOs.
user20683
we make use of an axiom
yes
but
01:41
@Johann this isn't an argument, this is a discussion - nobody here is interjecting with "yes but <poorly interpreted citation>"
So what shall I consume for breakfast?
Oh god, I hate "yesbuts".
@YiJiang'sEvilClone crunchy nut cornflakes
@Johann And if you start the "Why don't they get punished?" train now, I'm gonna call sockpuppet.
dried wheat is a fav of mine
01:42
In fact, I think I'll call people who say that a lot "yesbutts".
Im not a whiner
This just seems so bloody similar.
@FEichinger my categorisations are rarely wrong
i prefer yesbut
Did Retro eat a ban when I was away or something?
01:42
@kalina Meh. Not very into cereal
fried dough?
I just realized that I haven't eaten cereal in a loooong time.
@LessPop_MoreFizz ;)
@Johann Zeppole's are tasty.
burned fermented wheat?
01:43
I like doughnuts, but not for breakfast
I miss GnomeSlice
@kalina I don't want to scroll up. Plz to give details.
chicken embryos?
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz I nuked the chat, then the insanity continued at a simmer
Those are good too, but again, not for breakfast
01:44
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't want to scroll up either - I made a similar comment earlier
chopped liver
@YiJiang'sEvilClone well, if all else fails... bacon
root beer
@WorldEngineer This tells me nothing.
Can't find them in Singapore, which is a crying shame really
01:44
seriously though, crunchy nut cornflakes
Hmmm... which tasty beer should I drink to make @AshleyNunn jealous...
don't even need milk
a taco wrapped inside a burrito wrapped inside a larger burrito
@LessPop_MoreFizz All of them.
@kalina I think I just ran out of streaky bacon
01:45
@LessPop_MoreFizz ALL DEM BEERS!
@LessPop_MoreFizz Preferably, all at once.
@kalina But it's going to be so dry...
@YiJiang'sEvilClone crunch crunch crunch
@Yawus That would be less tasty than drinking them individually.
no root beer?
sad
:(
01:45
beer tastes horrible anyway
No chicken embryo
I am debating between Fin Du Monde, a smoked porter from Atlanta, and a New Belgium Lips of Faith Cherry Kriek.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Taste matters not when you're out-of-your-mind drunk.
@kalina You just need to try good beer.
Root beer is disgusting
01:46
@Yawus But I'm not out of my mind drunk yet.
is that one person who got mad at me gone?
Also, I have to work tomorrow, and would prefer not to get out of my mind drunk.
@Johann Which one, there were several.
@LessPop_MoreFizz this has been said to be before, I even countered with "prove it" which resulted in me getting free beer but I still didn't like it
all?
@Johann Then no.
01:46
@Johann it's safe to say at the moment, everybody here is irked by you.
@kalina Ever had a good Lambic or Sour?
BUM BUM BUM BUM
@Johann The chat isn't empty yet, so chances are "No."
@kalina Eh, not so much me?
HEHEHE
01:47
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't know names, I was just given bottles and told to drink
keep them rolling
Then again, I try not to get irked by anyone.
I don't like high blood pressure.
Nope, still here. Also, I'll have, uh... Porridge sounds good. I'll have that.
@Yawus there is no repulsion, thus no high blood pressure
@kalina Ever had anything that tasted like sweet/sour alcoholic fruit juice? Probably raspberry or cherry or some other sort of berry?
I <3 sours.
01:48
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Porridge is a lot better than most people think.
i really dont know I have kept on this chat room for like 2 hours
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Are we talking about rice porridge? 'Cause that's delicious.
porridge is great
rice porridge
@LessPop_MoreFizz if I was going to drink fruit juice, I would just drink fruit juice
is SO good
or yogurt
amazing
01:48
@Yawus Well, not plain rice porridge.
so is
more than
two words
per line
And probably not what ya thinking of
two word = rice porridge - the world of stackoverflow
TA DA
^ Messed up there.
what is your rice porridge like?
if you could lose rep here I would be burnt to a crisp
01:50
that's a really good idea - reputation based punishments for being banned
Sometimes, chat could really use its own rep system.
@kalina Well technically, suspension sets your rep to -1.
When did Avatar become on topic for Anime and Manga?! :D
Century egg and minced meat congee, actually
century egg?
01:51
@Ktash Since someone decided that western animation + elements of Eastern mythology and culture = anime?
It's still rice porridge, but so much better
@kalina Also, 3 weeks to go, y'know.
Oh god
@LessPop_MoreFizz no but I mean something more frequently than that, like getting banned from chat = -250 rep for the site the chat room is associated with, assuming you have reputation with that site
@Wipqozn has been lying about his mobility for ages! Run!!!
01:52
Century egg or pidan (), also known as preserved egg, hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg, thousand-year-old egg, and millennium egg, is a Chinese cuisine ingredient made by preserving duck, chicken or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, quicklime, and rice hulls for several weeks to several months, depending on the method of processing. Through the process, the yolk becomes a dark green to grey colour, with a creamy consistency and an odor of sulphur and ammonia, while the white becomes a dark brown, translucent jelly with little flavour. The transforming agent in the century e...
@LessPop_MoreFizz you realise with all of these new people, GnomeSlice is going to be one of the more sensible people in chat
11
250 rep seems like an unnecessarily large hit.
Yeah
@Yawus Does that mean I can ask questions about Snake Eyes from GI Joe cartoons on anime.se?
@Yawus deterrents ftw
01:52
any rep is unusual large
if you don't want to lose it, behave.
sounds like a plan to me
this aint boarding school this is the wild west of the internet
@kalina Today is @GnomeSlice's birthday!
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have no clue, but try it and we'll see.
@Ullallulloo really?
01:53
Pay an upfront rep deposit to chat. Forfeit deposit whenever you get banned.
No. But you can and report back for me please.
@kalina yes
I refuse to make an account there.
Yeah, same here.
@Ullallulloo you have him on Steam right? Tell him happy birthday from me
01:53
who is GnomeSlice
@Johann better than you
He or she is human (maybe).
@Yawus Well the animation style is Anime style... but I don't actually think it should be on topic
@Johann By that reasoning, you'd be dead in the gutter, riddled with wounds from revolvers.
And his/her name is GnomeSlice.
01:54
who is he
its a slice of a gnome, obviously
I must know....
@kalina Debatable
slice of gnome, anime
@YiJiang'sEvilClone are you sure? Evidence tonight supports my claim
01:54
ok
@Johann I am fairly certain using the search function might be enlightning.
I think that's just the nostalgia talking
@kalina He says thanks.
yeah
@FEichinger if only more people used the search function
@YiJiang'sEvilClone hey I liked GnomeSlice
01:55
agree with everything is the only way to stay sane
sure he was really easy to bait
@kalina it's a rather small sample size
HAHA
but he's certainly no retro
who is retro
01:56
@Johann And again, the search function helps.
That is, if you use it.
@FEichinger THERE'S A SEARCH FUNCITON?! ZOMG
happy birthday @GnomeSlice
@Johann nope, not that person
01:57
used to be obsessed with rep
hrm
well that is the only retro I know
he still is, he just tries to hide it now
what happened
cake happened
this is starting to sound like a cheesy anime
Not really, no.
01:58
chocolate cake?
cake is whatever you want it to be
3
hey gnomeslice
who are you
@kalina But it's never the cake's fault
user20683
@Johann He can't respond
why
01:58
@Johann he can't respond, he's still banned
user20683
chat ban until April 28
why???!
Because reasons.
this does sound like a cheesy anime
In fact, because ALL DEM REASONS.
01:59
@Johann For using too many question marks
everything was normal until the cake nation ATTACKED
question marks can get a man banned in this part of town
@Johann many things you do can get you banned
such as...
