@kalina I know. Whoda thunk?

Powerlord

@fbueckert Are you high?

OrigamiRobot

You think the sports bro cutting my hair wants to talk about MtG?

fbueckert

@Powerlord Nope.

@OrigamiRobot He might. You never know.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot try it, see what happens

OrigamiRobot

And I don't care to find out.

Yawus

14:01

So, I have no classes today and, consequently, have no idea what to do.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Yawus Sleep!

Yawus

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Sleep is for people who aren't gamers or college students.

kalina

@Yawus Sleep

fbueckert

@Yawus Monster Hunter.

badp

@OrigamiRobot Actually that might work

fbueckert

14:02

If you have to ask, Monster Hunter.

Yawus

@fbueckert Done deal. I'll get in some Gunner practice.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot talk to him about my little pony

and how you always wondered what friendship could be

maybe he can share the magic with you?

OrigamiRobot

I don't know about MLP

fbueckert

@kalina Now that's just creepy.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot it could be a big adventure, tons of fun

OrigamiRobot

14:04

@badp You are delusional.

kalina

@fbueckert friendship is magic, that's not creepy at all

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@OrigamiRobot No harm in asking.

fbueckert

@kalina In that context, it sounds like a pickup line.

badp

@OrigamiRobot if I had to think of one geeky topic that could be mainstream enough, that's what I'd come up with

kalina

@fbueckert if any guy ever used that on me as a pickup line they'd score

fbueckert

14:05

@kalina I just dance with them. Fantastic icebreaker.

kalina

@fbueckert anyway less about how we're not socially awkward, and let's get back to helping all of these people who can't even handle small talk

OrigamiRobot

@badp No, that would be video games.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot talk about call of duty, that has to work

badp

@OrigamiRobot CoD:bloops doesn't count as geeky

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot You could always try talking about Call of Duty!

kalina

14:06

...

STOP COPYING ME

OrigamiRobot

I don't want to talk about call of duty

badp

@kalina great minds...

OrigamiRobot

I don't want to talk at all. I just want my haircut.

fbueckert

Isn't it sad that when we think mainstream video games, we think of games we absolutely hate?

kalina

@fbueckert yes, very sad

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

14:07

@fbueckert Hmmmm... that's really not true.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot talking is part of getting your hair cut

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I mean, Bioshock Infinite will probably be a best seller

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone one game doesn't compete against the best part of a decade of call of duties

badp

@fbueckert We aren't the target demographics!!

OrigamiRobot

@kalina That's why I hate haircuts.

fbueckert

14:08

@badp I want to murder the target demographics.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot shave all your hair off then, problem solved

OrigamiRobot

Maybe I'll wait till I visit my mom this weekend and get her to cut my hair.

fbueckert

Because it would make the world a better place without them in it.

kalina

@fbueckert hey, we agree on more, far more frequently, since you took your break from the bridge

fredley

@kalina I have been tempted to just go out and get a clipper

OrigamiRobot

14:09

@kalina It will grow back. Also, that would look terrible.

fredley

Sod whether it looks as good

It's cheaper and involves 0 awkward

badp

@fbueckert in other words @kalina likes it more when you don't speak at all for long periods of time

kalina

@badp I didn't say that

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Yay awkward silence!

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Except all the inquiries at work about my new hairstyle.

kalina

14:11

yeah, he banned me for disagreeing with him

100% serious, not joking at all

...well, maybe a little joking

LessPop_MoreFizz

(From arrestedwesteros.com so that you can get the joke.)

kalina

suddenly, a wild @LessPop_MoreFizz appears and kills the chat

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone 124 people following the tag for the purpose of launching whoever raises a question under it INTO THE SUN

badp

You are delusional

fbueckert

14:14

I'm trying to fancy up some forms with ajax animations; can anyone point me at a good reference place I can read?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina It's okay, I'm leaving as suddenly as I appeared.

Q: What is the best companion for a solo PvE Trickster Rogue?

Should I go for a DPS, tank, or healing companion? Any suggestions for the actual companion? I heard the slyblade kobold is pretty good DPS companion, and that Galeb Duhr is the best tank companion (but he costs 30$ :/ ) I don't know much about the healing companions, and I didn't buy a Hero...

Q: How to be an effective cleric in Aion?

I just started playing free-to-play Aion through Gameforge on Euro servers and it's pretty fun. I was just wondering if anyone had good builds/strategy to be the most effective cleric in a party.

Q: How are re-roll credits earned?

In the ARAM queue that arrived with the Freljord patch you can re-roll a champion you've been given by using a re-roll credit. How fast do you accrue these re-rolls? Is it based on number of games played or number of champions owned?

Q: Bind installed team fortress 2 game to steam

I've downloaded and installed tf2 from the internet, but it couldn't connect to online servers. So I've also installed steam after that. Now when I want to play tf2 from inside the steam, it doesn't see the existing installation and wants to download tf2 anew. Can I anyway make steam use the alr...

steam team-fortress-2 game-installation

OrigamiRobot

I just found out this place gives you a scalp/neck massage. Aborting the plan.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina The tag doesn't exist. New users can't actually use it.

fbueckert

@GrumpyLazers Dupe.

kalina

14:14

@LessPop_MoreFizz what? I can't see what you said because of ALL OF THAT SPAM

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Touching is the only thing worse than talking.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@fbueckert What does Ajax have to do with animations?

fredley

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Obviously you want to be requesting each frame with its own request

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone he misused ajax in the place of javascript, obviously

god, web developers are even more pedantic than gamers

fbueckert

@YiJiang'sEvilClone ...Doesn't it? I looked up how to do animations inside an UpdatePanel, and it gave me some Ajax extension stuff.

OrigamiRobot

14:16

@fredley I'm glad someone understands.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot High five. No wait...

kalina

@AshleyNunn finally, some sanity, tell all of these boys that talking to your hairdresser is normal behaviour

OrigamiRobot

@fredley We can just nod at each other.

Powerlord

@GrumpyLazers Piracy

Martin Sojka

@OrigamiRobot Sounds great.

user15026

14:17

@kalina they don't think it is? Weird.

Powerlord

Which is strange since TF2 is free now.

user15026

You make small talk about whatever.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I don't think it's abnormal, I just hate it.

kalina

@AshleyNunn by the looks of it, they're freak out if they had to get their hair washed as well

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn Smalltalk is useless.

fbueckert

14:18

In other news, I watched Office Space again over the weekend.

user15026

@kalina might be a boy thing.

fbueckert

It has been a while.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I can wash my own hair thank you very much.

kalina

how they'd ever survive a hair colouring I just don't know

Powerlord

But if you've downloaded TF2 without Steam, you've pirated an older version from before it was f2p, since the only ways to download TF2 legitimately requires a Steam account.

Ben Brocka

14:18

@OrigamiRobot You find the kinkiest barbers, man

user15026

@origamirobot not really. Learn all sorts of fascinating things if you listen.

user15026

@kalina yeah, they would be doomed I think.

Ben Brocka

"So do you want a haircut with... extra service" snips clippers suggestively

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Ideal

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn We must have different definitions of smalltalk.

user15026

14:19

@origamirobot nah, likely not. Job stuff life stiff the weather trips you are going on family stuff sports etc

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka I was given this coupon man, I didn't choose it.

user15026

@BenBrocka that is frightening. Just what are they going to do with those clippers....

kalina

we need to take it upon ourselves to educate these people so they can successfully re-integrate into society

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn Weather? Useless. Family? I haven't seen them in months. Sports? Awful. Job stuff? Like what?

user15026

@kalina me teaching anyone about society is a dangerous prospect. :p

kalina

14:21

@AshleyNunn well true, same deal with me I guess

I'm really good at setting fire to things though

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Almost as scary as kalina teaching... yeah

kalina

talk about the spread of fire

user15026

@kalina don't you... Yeah. That.

kalina

that's a good subject

SaintWacko

@kalina that would be the greatest awkward conversation ever

user15026

14:21

@saintwacko at least I just talk about cupcakes

fbueckert

Tips and tricks to not get caught.

kalina

actually I'd rather not talk about fire when my hair is covered in highly flammable chemicals

SaintWacko

Just start going on and on about how wonderful fire is, how fast it spreads, how much it destroys...

user15026

Yeah something tells me that could end badly

user15026

@saintwacko fastest haircut ever I would bet

kalina

14:22

that really is my worst case scenario, I'd have to stay indoors for a year so it could grow back

Martin Sojka

@OrigamiRobot I can clean, sanitise, suture and bind my own wounds (unless they're in some awkward to reach place). It doesn't mean I won't gladly let some doc do it instead.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot how well would you handle a massage, like at a professional place?

OrigamiRobot

@MartinSojka I don't want anyone else washing my hair.

kalina

I just get this image that half of the people in here would have issues with that kind of contact

OrigamiRobot

@kalina No. No. Never. No.

user15026

14:23

@kalina I have no fears of that - losing half my hair (brain surgery! Twice!) makes me care less about what it looks like.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot are you SERIOUS? Nothing beats a good massage

user15026

@kalina this this this

OrigamiRobot

@kalina No. Ugh, I cringe just thinking about it.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot There is something wrong with you

OrigamiRobot

It makes me want to vomit.

fbueckert

14:24

@kalina I've been told I'm pretty good at them.

user15026

@fbueckert grabby hands

Ben Brocka

►

kalina

@OrigamiRobot I think you are not a particularly secure individual

Ben Brocka

Who wants a body massage~

OrigamiRobot

@kalina meaning?

user15026

14:25

@BenBrocka Oooh yes please! ;)

kalina

@BenBrocka me

pick me pick me

Ben Brocka

Only if @OrigamiRobot has to watch

user15026

@kalina no way I said first!

fredley

@BenBrocka Watching other people being massaged is... fine.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot whatever your worst thought was, that's probably what I meant

Martin Sojka

14:27

@OrigamiRobot Haphephobia sucks, even in a limited case.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@fbueckert Ajax is asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It's used when a website needs to communicate with a server without refreshing. It doesn't have anything to do with animation.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I don't have any thoughts.

@BenBrocka I don't care about that.

fbueckert

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Then why, when I search for "asp.net updatepanel animation", does my first result give me asp.net/ajaxLibrary/AjaxControlToolkitSampleSite/…?

OrigamiRobot

@MartinSojka I'm not afraid of being touched, I just don't like strangers.

Ben Brocka

Investigate error message > It is actually being caused by a second error message being improperly concatenated

Also the original error message was spelled "an error occuered"

user15026

14:30

Ouch.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@fbueckert The name of the toolkit is "ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit". It seems like it can also do animation

fbueckert

@YiJiang'sEvilClone So....I reiterate: I need some reference material on how to use it.

badp

@ashley you know what? You should figure out how to express a body massage as a sequence of keystrokes to press on a virtual keyboard on your shoulders

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@fbueckert The toolkit, or just animation with JavaScript in general?

fbueckert

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I would assume the toolkit.

I can do animations with Javascript.

user15026

14:31

@badp if only. That could actually work well.

badp

just make sure you agree beforehand on where the P is

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp Hmmmm, would tfv yhb result in a choke hold?

user15026

@badp an important point to consider.

badp

uh, I was thinking QAZ being as high as your neck

like, shoulder blades being QWE and ZXC

user15026

That would work.

badp

14:36

@AshleyNunn What if you said "Okay" and the other understood "Enter"?

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Yes. MO, SciFi. Leave the red slot empty.

user15026

@badp depends if they pressed enter or tried to actually enter something...

kalina

OH MY GOD IT'S SO HOT IN HERE

fbueckert

Also, anyone who owns a Wii must play Pandora's Tower.

No excuses allowed.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina Uh... huh

user15026

14:37

@fbueckert working on it! Well, if I wasn't sorta incapacitated at the moment.

badp

@AshleyNunn Is there a difference if the virtual keyboard "wrapped around"?

Grace Note

Also, HI ALL FROM NEW YORK WOO

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone seriously the first day this year that I've taken my coat off in the office...

user15026

@badp most definitely.

kalina

@GraceNote happy new yorking

fredley

14:37

@GraceNote Hi to New York!

badp

@GraceNote make sure you arrange to meet up with Lesspop

or not.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

What sort of temperature are you talking about here?

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote K. BTW where do you level? I've found being low-mid 70s isn't quite enough to reliably handle some of the tougher risky/whatever foes for the rest of the medals

badp

You recognize him because he's the guy in the Bing car.

kalina

@badp isn't he still in Memphis?

badp

14:38

@kalina Perhaps, I have no idea.

Grace Note

@BenBrocka I do quests and cry because I'm at the level cap already.

kalina

@badp not that I actively memorise the location of people

badp

Last I heard he still had a lot of New York streets to map

Grace Note

@badp I also have no idea, but I also don't think that LessPop is in the vicinity of our brand new office.

kalina

@badp wait, @LessPop_MoreFizz works for Microsoft?

Grace Note

14:39

@kalina No.

kalina

hmm

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote There's DLC to break the level cap now...to an absurd 399 I guess

Grace Note

He is the kind of person that carries around heavy ordinances on his vehicle as he cruises across the nation. Sophisticated targeting and imaging system levels, too.

Ben Brocka

Most of my remaining quests are "send a billion scouts until you find this risky foe" so I'm just ignoring them

Because I'm already doing that for far better reward with the medals. But the two rarely overlap

Grace Note

@BenBrocka I've avoided paying money on DLC by buying the next installments of the game that inevitably include the previous game's DLC as free content.

kalina

14:41

@GraceNote wifi sniffing equipment? RFC sniffing equipment?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Also, I just watched Princess Mononoke, and it is the most amazing thing ever

kalina

I always knew he was up to no good!

Grace Note

@kalina Large sights and adorable barrels.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

The dub is pretty bad though

@GraceNote Kitten cannon?

kalina

we need to break @LessPop_MoreFizz and get him to watch My Little Pony

Grace Note

14:42

@BenBrocka I have a very distinct trend of killing a Tough Foe and then getting the quest to kill that Tough Foe. That is also partially responsible for my over levelling.

kalina

Bridge, that is our goal for 2013

Powerlord

@kalina causing trouble in the neighborhood?

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote NIS doesn't really do that though

Grace Note

@BenBrocka The paid DLC for the first game were all costume pieces and equipment that were found in the second game. Likewise, the paid DLC in the second game includes the special candidate costumes that are all free in this game.

Ben Brocka

At least I'm not aware of such a case, especially not in a Neptunia game. Maybe the Vita remake might. But that's not quite the same

Grace Note

14:43

Yeah, I miss out on characters, true, but that's something I could invest in.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Not really the same as the level cap break though. And there's stuff in mk2 that's not in V at all

The characters, and the purchasable outfits that weren't just pallet swaps

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Same with 1 -> mk2, but nothing that's enough to inspire me to fork over more cash. Not having any cash in the PSN helps in that department, though.

@BenBrocka If you mean like the maid outfits, the 4 Goddesses Online outfits, and the swimsuits, I reiterate those are, indeed, in V.

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to raise MLP questions on movies&tv

Ben Brocka

I never keep a balance, I just pay on demand with credit cards

badp

@kalina You couldn't even break @fredley

Sure, he watched a couple episodes but did he break?

kalina

14:45

@badp he's broken, he's already part of the herd

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina They're already on SF&F, for some reason

Powerlord

How can I trick him with a Youtube link if all the copies of season 1 episode 1 got yanked from Youtube?

kalina

@badp he sang the theme tune in chat while drunk and got starred

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote well the cheap ones were just lame pallet swaps. I haven't investigated they others because they cost as much money as I've ever earned but their descriptions appear to just be more pallet swaps of the original outfits

Grace Note

@badp Judging by what I saw, he totally was brokeden.

badp

14:46

@kalina You just said that with the voice of George W Bush

2

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone well, it's a shame about the crossover

@badp WHAT?

badp

@kalina Yknow, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina Ewww, don't remind me of that question

Ben Brocka

@kalina is George Bush?

2

kalina

@badp I never watched any news, I don't know what you're talking about

Grace Note

14:46

@BenBrocka The non-palette swaps were the three sets I just mentioned. I don't know if they're true-ending-only, but I certainly have access to them all already.

badp

@kalina That was when he declared "victory" in his "war on terror" towards the end of his 8 years IIRC

kalina

To my knowledge the only thing George Bush accomplished was a weak imitation of Hitler on a different continent, utilising carpet bombing instead of gas chambers

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp No, it was in 2003 after the invasion of Iraq

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Are they in the shop-shop or made with blueprints or what?

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Well that's just about as much of a "victory"

Grace Note

14:47

Oh, @Ben, while I can't teach you the secrets to leveling, I can teach you the secret to how to print money by the millions.

Which you can do as early as chapter 3.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

He made his speech on an aircraft carrier, declaring the end of the war in Iraq.

Ben Brocka

Also where the crap do you get money? I miss Disgaea's exponential money growth system

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

The rest, as they say, is history

Ben Brocka

Why can't I hold all this Hell

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone aren't there still American troops in Iraq?

Grace Note

14:48

@BenBrocka Invisible Cloth.

badp

@kalina thatsthejoke.gif

kalina

or has Iraq run out of oil now, and the troops have since moved to Iran

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Oh does that sell well? I noticed I need to farm that if I want some blueprint things. They sounded like lame blueprint things though

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

This is the famous image

Grace Note

Harvest Invisible Cloth by sending hugely financed Scouts over to Suaho Mountain Range, or by just going there yourself (ideally with Launch on or Drop Rate scout effect). Use the Invisible Cloth to make all the clothing formulae (which are the palette swaps except you retain your original hair color, since it's just the clothes).

Each of these sells for 1.25 million credits apiece.

And it costs 5000 credits to buy the cheapest outfit to modify on any given non-candidate.

Ben Brocka

14:50

Launch?

@GraceNote wat

Grace Note

You can also get some Invisible Cloth if you're lucky when scouting Castle Chambers but it's easier to do Suaho Mountain Range.

Ben Brocka

Okay, never would have guessed that, thanks

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Like I said. PRINTING MONEY.

@BenBrocka It's a level 5 Red Idea Chip for Drop Rate. You can get them from HYPERDIMENSION DOGOOS over as a Risky Enemy in Keraga Dimension.

Which you have a quest later on to kill 4 of them.

SaintWacko

@GraceNote This game sounds like a lot of fun

Grace Note

@SaintWacko It is.

Powerlord

14:52

I have no idea what game is being discussed.

SaintWacko

@GraceNote What system is it for?

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote I'll try and get some of those I guess

badp

@Powerlord Hyperdimension Somethingsomething Victoria

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina Also, I'm not accepting this quest. I have my limits, you know

Grace Note

@SaintWacko PS3.

@badp Neptunia.

SaintWacko

14:52

@badp Hyperdimension Neptunia

Close, though

@GraceNote Bah

Powerlord

@badp Oh, I was going to assumed TF2 MvM. Which has both Scouts and credits.

Ben Brocka

@badp victory, not victoria

Grace Note

Also Victory, not Victoria, but Ben said that already.

Ben Brocka

@Powerlord and maid outfits?

Powerlord

@BenBrocka I wouldn't put it past Valve to add misc items like that. After all, Heavy has a Tutu

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

14:53

@BenBrocka Mann vs. Maid!

Grace Note

@Powerlord But it doesn't have little sisters to wear the maid outfits.

badp

@BenBrocka Victory, Victoria, half a dozen of one, sedecim of the other

Powerlord

Speaking of DLC, I hear CapCom is managing to infect Ace Attorney 5 with it.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Powerlord A 3DS game?

Powerlord

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yup.

It'll have downloadable costumes, of all things.

fbueckert

14:55

@Powerlord Bleh.

I could see adding episodic content, as that would work well for the game.

But costumes....really?

Powerlord

@fbueckert You know you want to have Phoenix's new assistant wearing a schoolgirl outfit!

user15026

@powerlord that is craptacular.

user15026

Also, that is a horrible brain image

Ben Brocka

Pheonix wright in a sexy bikini

Grace Note

@fbueckert As Ben and I just had a discussion about DLC relating mostly entirely to costumes, I pretty much expect this these days.

fbueckert

14:56

@Powerlord I don't even know who his new assistant is.

Why wouldn't it be Maya?

Powerlord

I do hope they explain what happened to Maya... I thought she'd be in the game since she was shown at E3 in the past, but she's not in the trailer I saw.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

►

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote The DLC's only like 1/5th costumes. But it's mostly garbage so far. looks like overpowered weapons/defense items, some weird headgear and swimsuits. And the free Colosseum thingies I actually did download

user15026

@BenBrocka one of those banana hammocks, maybe

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I AM DISAPPOINT

Powerlord

14:58

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I was just looking that up.

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn with kitty ears

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Free ones are all the really substantial stuff in the long run.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina I'm sorry, but the MLP canon is too simple. Either that, or the answer will always be "the writers / animators made a mistake"

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote well, 300 more levels is fairly substantial

Powerlord

Speaking of Phoenix Wright... Level 5, weren't you going to bring Layton vs. Wright over sometime soon?

fbueckert

14:59

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Ok, that's the new assistant, but that still doesn't answer what happened to Maya.

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Stuff are doable without it.

Powerlord

Maybe soon after the final Layton game?

Ben Brocka

But if it's anything like mk2 they're completely unnecessary except for some of the final Colosseum stuff
