Also, I just realized that if you choose to deny UAC authorization for Steam's buildbot the game would launch directly, skipping all the usual DirectX installation stuff
@Sterno Or because old people can suck your soul out through your nostrils.
@Sterno Remember that episode of Doctor Who with the killer old people?
@Wipqozn Amy's Choice, in S5, right?
@PrivatePansy Correct.
@LessPop_MoreFizz ?
00:01
Man, I thought that flag was just going to hang out forever
@Sterno We were just beginning to be friends
And no one from another chatroom coming in here to lecture us about flags? What a waste.
@Sterno I assume that's why @LoganM is here.
@PrivatePansy Doesn't that cause it to prompt you every time you launch the game?
@Powerlord I hope not, let me see
Nope, it doesn't. Though of course if you were actually missing any of the DirectX stuff I guess it means you'd be screwed
00:03
@OrigamiRobot I think he came in hoping for drama.
@Wipqozn Yeah. Sadly there was none.
@LoganM Stick around, I'm sure we can deliver.
that could be one of the coolest commercials ive ever seen
Hey, I found a way to get free edits on the TF2 wiki towards the Wiki cap... update the woefully out of date instructions for installing the dedicated servers.
Neither the textbox nor the window itself is resizable
The cliffhanger in the release note is killing me with anticipation
@PrivatePansy What OS are you running?
Windows
Does Steam also look this ugly on OS X?
Why are you running the Beta client? As far as I'm aware, the only client beta only happening right now is intended for the Linux beta.
but yes, as I recall, Steam is equally as hideous in every OS
00:12
Odd, I didn't notice that
I didn't enroll in the beta program
@Ender I've seen another one by the same company. I should try and find it.
Or rather, I think I didn't

@Ender When in doubt, you can assume I'm not angry.
Trust me, it's usually pretty clear when I cross the line from mean spirited sarcasm to actual anger.
GUYS
@spugsley GURLS
00:22
should me and @IanPugsley go and get frozen yogurt? (I'm mainly doing this so I can ping him as he sits right next to me to see if he wants frozen yogurt)
you would ping him rather than just turn and ask?
@spugsley Yes.
@kalina absolutely as it is much more fun
There is never a bad time for frozen yogourt.

interesting
00:23
I have this mental image of you two sitting back to back furiously typing at your keyboard instead of turning around and talking like normal people do

@Wipqozn indeed
@PrivatePansy side by side actually
but close enough
are you close enough to reach out and touch him?
@kalina yarp :)
my word I typed that in the wrong textbook
00:25
we have a two person desk
Cute.
yeah, we are pretty fucking adorable

So, the TF2 commercial (and Venture Bros.) isn't in a few hours, but a day plus a few hours
I'm eating potato onion bread that doesn't seem to contain any potato or onion
Because Adult Swim/Cartoon Network thinks midnight aka zero hundred hours is part of the previous day
Is it sad that I plan on watching that just to see if Valve is announcing something new?
0_0
0_0
00:36
wait there is a tf2 commercial on adult swim?
No precedent though.
@Powerlord They'll probably just hype the robot hats, I would guess.
@LessPop_MoreFizz kk :)

I'm guessing this is going to be like the SNL daft punk ad

venture bros. is ok, but there is better adult swim shows
@scootaloo he'll get the msg when he's back

robot chicken for example
I wish Adult Swim would stop with the live action shows. Most of them are pretty bad.
I want to buy Remember Me this week, just to say fuck you to all the publishers that passed on it because it has a female protagonist.
@Scootaloo Oh ye of little taste. Children's Hospital and Eagleheart are both brilliant.
@LessPop_MoreFizz You've got to be kidding.
Well you rarely ever kid.
00:43
@Scootaloo I kid quite often. But on matters of taste, I do not.
Chris Elliott is a genius.
You're killing me.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm thinking about buying that game too.
Who ended up publishing it?
user20683
Capcom
Also Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell is quite good.
mmm Dr Pepper

loiter squad is ok but I think a lot of it is hype
What the hell, publishers?
@Yawus Violence sells, I guess
Seems more like lethal violence sells. Non-lethal violence will tank on the other hand.
00:47
@0_0 Loiter Squad was definitely a failed experiment.
@Yawus I still think it's fun when different organizations complain about thing and nothing happens.
Like with GTA IV and the Drunk Driving mini-game.
Nothing was changed :).
user20683
Street Fighter is non-Lethal violence
user20683
that's what K.O. means
user20683
It doesn't mean "Kill Outright".
Arrested Development is making me facedesk hardcore.
user20683
00:49
Arrested Development always made me do that. Welcome to the club.
user15026
In a good way or a bad way?
@fbueckert I've seen you facedesk A LOT in the past 24 hours.
@AshleyNunn Mostly bad.
user15026
Fair enough. I can only watch it in small doses. And I still after all this time don't know if I like it. It's weird.
@fbueckert Is it bad that whenever I read your username it sounds there is a curse?
@AshleyNunn I kind of want to watch it based on what everyone else here is saying. It could either be great or so bad that it's good.
00:53
Okay, for all that I appreciate the lack of lethality in Remember Me, that Memory Overload thing looks surprisingly like you capping someone in the back of the head.
Wow, this helicopter pilot is really, really bad shot.
@Yawus Hmm?
WTB Ps3 Black Ops (one) Zombies Partner (must have mic) And\Or SC2: WOL 2v2 Partner
00:56
@Yawus Kind of reminds me of Mirrors Edge.
Arrested Development is one of the greatest comedies of all time.
Some of the lines feel... off.
Parts of the dialogue feel stilted for reasons that I can't describe.
@Yawus it is kind of annoying how the helicopter can't land a single shot on her and the bots are amazing stupid.
And now, I am going to go drink a lot.
Bye Chat!
NO YOU
01:01
@Yawus I'm not sure if this is the one you just linked, but I saw some gameplay footage of the game where the protagonist climbs up a wall along a crowded street right beside a giant WANTED poster with her face on it, and none of the dozen or so passer-bys did anything
That's like Assassin's Creed levels of civilian fail.
user20683
Bear in mind that it's supposed to be a mind screw
user15026
What Is?
user20683
@AshleyNunn Remember Me
01:10
nobody wants to play with me :(
user20683
@Ender what do you want to play?
@PrivatePansy BUYING THIS
WTB Ps3 Black Ops (one) Zombies Partner (must have mic) And\Or SC2: WOL 2v2 Partner
user15026
@privatepansy that reminds me I need to keep watching that show. Perhaps I will too get because I am sick and it might cheer me up
01:12
@Ender Yeah, I'm not much of a Call of Duty guy and I'm pretty sure I'd suck at Starcraft.
ZombieS!
everyone likes shooting zombies!
That's what L4D2 and Killing Floor are for.
Wouldn't L4D2 be better for that purpose?
I prefer the black ops version of it
or dead island
mostly the black ops version tho
it has that arcady feel with the guns on the wall and the money and per wave type thing goin on
arcadey*
Maybe if Black Ops goes on sale at my local Gamestop, I'll think about picking it up.
That's a big "if" though.
I'd probably play SC2 before I play COD.
01:15
@AshleyNunn awww :( I'm sorry you're sick
^ that
Being sick sucks
user15026
It's okay. I am making ramen and tea and hoping that makes me feel more human. Stupid sore throat. :(
@AshleyNunn Ah, you too?
I just have a persistent cough, therefore sore throat.
An occasional sneeze, but no symptoms other than that.
user15026
I have the sneezes and the sore throat, no cough yet. And a migraine the size of Texas.
Oh dear.
Hmm... my mouse just got separated from Skyrim.
Never mind, fixed.
01:21
@AshleyNunn booo I hate sore throats
user43095
Some person has been very kind as to provide me with 35 reps today, all on different questions. :D
user15026
@spugsley they are the worst thing.
user20683
Sigh
user20683
huh, There's a metal band called "DuckCore"...
user20683
and they sound like every other death metal band ever
user15026
01:30
Awww i was hoping there were ducks involved
@WorldEngineer Aww, I was hoping that they would be a DuckTales cover band.
user20683
@RedRiderX I don't think that song needs to be any more catchy.
I have sore throat from shouting too much
Which we had to do during live firing
@PrivatePansy what branch?
Range procedure requires each firer to get an assistant, whose job is to relay instructions by shouting, since everyone is wearing earplugs
Do that the whole day, and you get sore throat
01:37
I remember having a sore throat from simply calling cadence all the dam time
What branch u in?
Non-combat position, so probably clerk or storeman
uhh
branch dude
like army navy airforce
We don't get a branch before the end of BMT
It's conscription, we don't get a choice really
o wow. wtf? what country are you in?
Singapore
01:42
wow im sorry. conscription is really shitty.
user20683
@Ender it's not so bad from what I hear. My Danish friend spent his time fixing tanks and drinking beer with his buddies.
user20683
in other news:
user20683
@WorldEngineer I'm not fit for frontline duty, which is lucky/unlucky depending on your perspective
user20683
@PrivatePansy Piracy aside, Singapore doesn't fight tons of wars anyway
01:44
@PrivatePansy Is that because you're a pony?
@WorldEngineer It does send aid missions to other countries, but other than that and the piracy (which seems to be much less of a problem these days), the army really doesn't see much action, yes
@PrivatePansy: It only lasts for month or two, right?
@Wipqozn BMT lasts for 9 weeks, but combat training for recruits who are not fit for frontline duties (ie. the future clerks, storemen and drivers) only last 4 weeks, with the remaining time devoted to vocational training
I haven't managed to get a straight answer out of anyone about what 'vocational training' actually entails
So does the conscription only consist of 9 weeks of training, and nothing else?
You're not actually sent on the frontlines or anything? Just put through training?
Of course not, you have to serve for 1y10m or 2y, inclusive of the training
01:49
Okay, so it is just as bad as I thought.
Some of what you said made me think it was only for training.
The refs for this game are blind
user15026
@mbraedley what game?
Well, in a sense some of the things we do are only for training
@AshleyNunn Boston at Pittsburg
Most (all?) of the vocations which we'd get posted to will never involve handling weapons at all, much less firing them
user20683
@PrivatePansy 90% of armed forces are logistical.
user20683
roughly.
user20683
my Grandpa was a Bomber Gunner and Radio Operator
user20683
those things weren't pressurized, it'd get down to -20 degrees F
Gunner is still a combat position, and both of those are frontline jobs
user20683
01:53
right
user20683
but this was World War II
user20683
Uncle and other grandfather were support positions sorta
user20683
Uncle was commander of an Engineering Platoon
user20683
Grandfather trained infantry
01:55
DVRs are awesome. I skipped the entirety of Don Cherry's potentially discriminatory (of some sort) diatribe.
Both parents served in the army before, though they don't talk much about it. I gather they were there only as teachers. Only my father fired a gun before I think
And I'm watching live again. Bridge, you're being relegated to commercials
I'm a little surprised the talking heads haven't directly mentioned McKinnon and Drouin (Hfx Mooseheads top NHL draft picks). They're currently slated to go 2nd and 3rd.
@AshleyNunn this is what I'm drinking right now
user15026
02:16
Oh I haven't had that. Is it good?
It's a little old, so it's probably not as good as it could be, but still better than most other beers.
Think strong Heineken.
user20683
so really upscale drunk yak piss
user20683
like piss from a yak with a tophat and monocle.
user20683
got it
user15026
I am contemplating my ginger mead but I think I will save it for when I am not sick and miserable
02:23
Do you not like Heineken?
user15026
@worldengineer compared to a number of beers here Heineken is pretty good

Q: Lydia equipped a mage robe and won't give it back!

KittyKatI gave Lydia several items to carry, including a simple mage robe that had zero armor rating. She carried it around for a long time in her inventory, and then suddenly out of the blue she was wearing it! And now she won't give it back. When I try to take the robe is says it was her original armor...

Q: How do I access the Shadow of Colossus developer menu?

RandyFI finally got ahold of my old copy of the Shadow of the Colossus demo. Is it true that there is an old developer menu you can access? If so, how do I do that?

user20683
@AshleyNunn yes but those beers are even worse
user20683
I strongly dislike heineken.
user20683
I shouldn't, I like Kirin but I do.
user15026
02:26
Right now I am drinking more wine than beer because Cheap tasty wine is more available than cheap tasty beer
Any mass produced beer is going to suffer some quality issues. It's happened to some really good beers. Still, compared to the generic lagers of North America, Heineken is pretty good.
user20683
@MBraedley right but I don't consider those to be beer.
user20683
they are half sake for crying out loud
user20683
the other problem is that I don't drink often enough to have consistent tastes in beer. I generally favor stouts historically.
@WorldEngineer I'm not really a fan of stouts. Mind you, I haven't tried one in a while.
user20683
02:34
@MBraedley my Computer Architecture professor who also happens to be an avid home brewer said that there are two kinds of people: Ale people and Lager people
But stouts are a different beast entirely
user20683
true
user20683
they are technically an ale though
user15026
Stouts often feel like I have to chew them and that is weird. Not that I can really explain what I like.
user20683
@AshleyNunn that's why they were given to pregnant mothers, they were thought to be nourishing.

Well this game's over. Shucks
user15026
@WorldEngineer Interesting, I didnt know that
user20683
@AshleyNunn en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_stout#Milk_stout amend to nursing not pregnant
user15026
02:49
@WorldEngineer Still, that is super fascinating
user20683
@AshleyNunn the history of food in general is fascinating
user20683
actually food in general is fascinating
@AshleyNunn ah, the days before the knowledge of fetal alcohol poisoning.
user15026
@WorldEngineer yes to both of those things
user15026
@MBraedley There is that
user15026
02:51
@WorldEngineer I read so many books about food :P
user20683
@AshleyNunn you seriously should open a restaurant or something
user20683
Books and Brew
user15026
@WorldEngineer That would be awesome
user15026
I would need help
user15026
but I like the idea
02:52
@WorldEngineer @AshleyNunn and library.
@AshleyNunn go on Dragon's Den
user15026
@MBraedley I suck at the actual business planning
user20683
@AshleyNunn that's why you need a trust-worthy business associate
@AshleyNunn I'm sure there's an MBA that would partner which you.
user15026
@MBraedley I also lack any kind of money
user15026
@WorldEngineer With my luck I will get someone who steals all my money
user20683
02:54
@AshleyNunn in the U.S. you can get SBA loans.
user20683
I assume Canada has similar
@AshleyNunn that's why you need to go on Dragon's Den
user20683
particularly given the leanings of the Steven Harper
user15026
Yeah, I have no idea
user20683
that's the in charge dude in Canada right?
user15026
02:55
either that or I want to open a cupcake and cereal truck
user15026
@WorldEngineer at the moment yes
@WorldEngineer according to Michael Geist, the Harper government hasn't done enough to foster small business.
user20683
@MBraedley I figured as much
user20683
he's effectively a Republican and they love talking about small businesses but not helping them.'
user15026
@WorldEngineer yeah pretty much
02:57
Except the republicans would still call him far left
IT'S BUSINESSSSSS. IT'S BUSINESSSSS TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
user20683

@WorldEngineer happy to oblige :3
now it would only be funnier if it really was business time wonk

@spugsley dies
user20683
@spugsley take a compliment when I give you one.
user15026
@spugsley Oh my goodness
03:01
@WorldEngineer :p you're right, thank you
user15026
I have no words for how pretty this is
@AshleyNunn :) aww yay. I'm not gonna lie. Hours of editing to get those tones correct
user20683
@spugsley art is art
user15026
@spugsley it is gorgeous. you look super pretty and the colours are amazing
@WorldEngineer amen

yep there are the tears
user20683
@spugsley your work has brought tears to my eyes.
user20683
@IanPugsley give her a hug for me
All these compliments, yet I'M THE ONLY ONE TO STAR THAT!
user20683
@MBraedley given that this is the bridge...star is not automatically a compliment.
03:05
@WorldEngineer lol a valid point
I SEE AN @GnomeSlice <3
user20683
@spugsley he's still banned from talking I think
@WorldEngineer yeah I just wanted to tell him hi and <3

I get that you need only a small selection in multiplayer games like this to foster familiarity but still.
user15026
@WorldEngineer I still need to try that game
user20683
@AshleyNunn It's a great deal of fun
user20683
I'll play with you if you want
user15026

user20683
Onchocerciasis ( or ), also known as river blindness and Robles disease, is a parasitic disease caused by infection by Onchocerca volvulus, a nematode (roundworm). Onchocerciasis is second in the world only to trachoma as an infectious cause of blindness. The parasite is transmitted to humans through the bite of a black fly of the genus Simulium. The larval nematodes spread throughout the body. When the worms die, their Wolbachia symbionts are released, triggering a host immune system response that can cause severe itching, and can destroy optical tissue in the eye. Most infections occur...
user20683
This is one of the many reasons why you chlorinate water.
user20683
and why you use insect netting

and why you exterminate the hell out of certain flies.
