@badp It's a squat cylinder.
@Keen Huh.
@badp WTF is that?
justin h says:
> It's the Mac Tube.
@MBraedley The new Mac Pro. It has trascended polygons. :P
3
Titanfall looks cool-ish
So they're going all-in on Thunderbolt. It has 'Thunderbolt 2', which is of course, the bigger, badder, louder sequel.
18:01
@MBraedley The probe from Star Trek IV.
@Keen Now with TWICE AS MANY direct memory access exploits!
FAE
FAE
@fbueckert It's ridiculous. Even if you take into account the fact that it's not counting sales tax, if you take $499 and add 8% sales tax, that's still only like $540~ or so. Still very much not equivalent.
Jin

Titanfall is directed by JJ Abrams. so much lensflare.
@FAE Microsoft is the arrogant console maker this generation, it seems.
@Keen wait is there seriously a new thunderbolt?
18:02
Ladies and gentlemen, the killer feature of the new MacBook pro
> the new Mac Pro has a handle on the top too
@BenBrocka Yes, they are announcing it as part of the new Mac Pro.
@BenBrocka Yeah, Intel announced it last week, probably in preparation for this event.
Or not, what @Coronus said.
@Keen what the hell do they mean by "it lights up to show you where the I/O is" ?
@badp The idea was that you spin the thing around to get at the ports. So it lights up when it detects movement.
18:03
@Keen <yij>er... er... er...</yij>
Sounds odd to me. Usually I don't need to access the i/o ports on my computer while it's running, except for the USB ports on the front.
That's a solution to a problem that never existed if I ever saw one
Did they say if that mech thing is xbone exclusive?
God, I hope not.
Mech thing?
18:05
@ShotgunNinja same
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka I thought everything now was Xbone exclusive.
@OrigamiRobot Are you not watching the MS press conference?
yeah only xbone, oh well
@BenBrocka It's on PC too.
FAE
FAE
@MBraedley He's at work.
18:06
@FAE So am I
@Ullallulloo he said exclusively to xbox one, unless he meant console-exclusive
@FAE to be honest it seems like the £ price is actually aligned with the € price
(£429 = $668)
FAE
FAE
@badp Still sucks.
so I suppose that $499 is probably only a "promotional price" or maybe even "selling at a loss"
Titanfall is a mecha first-person shooter video game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts for the Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. It is Respawn's first game, and is scheduled for release in spring 2014. Gameplay The game is a first-person shooter where players pilot mechs called Titans. The mechs can be piloted or automated. Development After splitting with Activision and Call of Duty, Titanfall became Respawn's next project. The game is built in the Source engine and uses Microsoft's cloud computing for multiplayer servers, physics, and arti...
18:07
@MBraedley Web Filter
Was that the end of the conference, or did it just cut out for me?
360, One, and Windows
FAE
FAE
@ShotgunNinja IGN's post show is on so I think it's over.
It uses the Source engine? O_o
@Ullallulloo Oh, it's on the Source engine?
damn
18:08
@Ullallulloo what is?

That looks gorgeous for the Source engine, though.
Titanfall
It's over
18:08
@MBraedley What am I supposed to do with that?
@OrigamiRobot Is YouTube also filtered?
Meanwhile, Apple's boring its audience with iWork
@MBraedley Most places with a web filter do so for bandwidth reasons
So yes.
because it's a developer conference so let's show them how to put pictures in documents.
@OrigamiRobot Well I guess I'm lucky
18:10
Now introducing: compatibility with .doc files!!
user43095
`C:\windows\system32>chkdsk /scan
The type of the file system is NTFS.

Stage 1: Examining basic file system structure ...

Stage 2: Examining file name linkage ...

Stage 3: Examining security descriptors ...

Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.
No further action is required.`

THATS BULLSHIT, I KNOW THERES A PROBLEM WITH MY DRIVE, SO SCREW YOU WINDOWS 8
@MBraedley Even if I were home, I wouldn't watch the MS keynote
@jeffreylin_ It may not be the kind of problem chkdsk scans for
user43095
@murgatroid99 Then how can I fix it?
@jeffreylin_ Well, that might depend on what the problem is
18:11

Q: Is there a way to increase the chance of catching shinies on PKMN BW2?

Shadow ZorgonI am trying to collect shiny Pokemon, but my luck has been down in the dumps. I don't want to resort to using my action replay, are there anyways that are proven to increase the chance to find or hatch a shiny Pokemon?

user43095
@murgatroid99 I think there's a bad sector, because steam says "DIsk WRite error"
@jeffreylin_ That's not a problem with your file system
@jeffreylin_ That seems like a very non-specific error. It could be a bad file descriptor or something
user43095
So, how can I diagnose it?
user43095
I just bought this laptop a couple of months ago too. :(
18:14
That's the kind of stats Apple now's got to use :P
@jeffreylin_ Have you tried rebooting and then doing whatever you tried to do again?
After all, Google announced 1 billion activations a month ago (correct?), while Apple's just announced its 600 millionth device sold.
@badp What even is this?
@badp Wait, so it takes more time to do stuff on Apple, is what that's saying?
> A recent study from Experian, iPhone users use the iPhone 50% more than Android users use their phones
18:15
@badp that barely even seems like a thing to show off
@murgatroid99 Then again, for some users, it is.
See, since Apple lost the war on just "most devices sold" they're off to a different war where "the devices are better and the people who are using them are also better"
Of course, the users who constitute that number are not the same users who would be interested in such statistics.
@ShotgunNinja but it could mean anything. It could just mean that it's easier to find what you're looking for on Android
user43095
@murgatroid99 As far as I know, this has been for a long time. PROOF: Restart your PC to repair drive errors. It keeps saying that no matter how many times I reboot.
18:16
@murgatroid99 That's my point. Such a thing doesn't indicate that Apple is a better product.
@badp What about jailbroken phones?
Jin
Jin
@badp the google pie chart is colorless and gloomy, therefore android = bad
and this fails to underline the part where everything after Android 2.2 pretty much can run the same thing thanks to the offloading of APIs to Google Play
@jeffreylin_ OK, so you have tried rebooting. What is it that is failing?
user43095
18:18
@murgatroid99 I need to find the log first. Where is the CHKDSK log?
@Jin but it's tastefully gloomy!
> iOS 7 is the biggest change to iOS since the introduction of iPhone
"We've fired the guy who did the first six! It's true!"
user43095
Thanks
BTW, there's more WWDC livestream commentary in here:
@Brant are there more bridge regulars than you there?
18:19
Does @Jin count?
Man, Johnny Ive has a great voice.
then I'll keep safely bashing at Apple in here where it won't offend people's sensibilities :P
Jin
Jin
@Keen he should tuck me in bed 'n read me a story
okay, this must've been caught in between frames
Jin
Jin
dat flat ui
18:20
Oh good. Finally Apple gets on board with "natively digital"
@badp What is this "natively digital"?
@ShotgunNinja the main design tenet of Microsoft's Metro UI
basically, no to fake leather UI on screen, yes to typography.
Weird, the device's motion sensor will move the wallpaper in relation to the UI.
@badp That kind of looks like the UI the Android has had for a year
@murgatroid99 ikr
18:22
@Keen uh?
I guess I need to watch a video to understand that
-1 Microsoft, -1 Apple, +1 Sony, +1 Android.
@badp It does some parallax movement.
I'm just looking at a bunch of screenshots.
Is that the gist of today's conferences?
They're showing a lot of stuff in this intro video. Hard to keep up.
18:23
The Verge is dumping a lot of photos but those might be the most representative
@ShotgunNinja Sony hasn't spoken yet
@badp The video they just played was dense with new information.
Yesss if there's one thing iOS needed it's more minimalist, flat weather apps
3
@Keen They'll go through it slower now.
@BenBrocka When they do, they'd better not announce anything regarding "transactions" or "always on".
18:24
@badp At least some of it, yeah.
I'm happy that with today pretty much the last bastion of skeuomorphism in mobile devices has fallen
@ShotgunNinja I kinda doubt it considering their previous statements in regards to DRM, used games and always on
Of course...
That also means shitty unreadable labels because fuck shadows
Where do I get that asian baby app
3
Also, that sound you hear is a thousand graphic designers scrambling to update their iOS icons
5
@badp hmmmm yeah that shadowless text doesn't seem great for that
He's learning from Ballmer
DEVELOPERS
Jin
Jin
18:31
Al Gore is there..
THAT IS NOT WHAT MULTITASKING MEANS
Now you can resize the facebook icon on your home screen!
@murgatroid99 That is not what Apple did.
@badp It seems like what they should have done, from the picture
@murgatroid99 It might be that their display isn't quite high resolution enough to do that on such tiny print and make it look good.
18:35
@murgatroid99 the text is too narrow for a good outline
you'd have to do a 1 pixel black outline which would be oddly thick unless they had a different super bold font
This looks so much like something out of Google's design book
@BenBrocka Android seems to kind of have a sort of gray shadow/outline around icon labels
yeah, android does shadows which works well
Like this
And yes, that's my phone
flagged
18:39
@badp As what, being related to my avatar?
@murgatroid99 she doesn't like your clock
@BenBrocka I think she's just pissed in general
@murgatroid99 Needs more Applebloom.
user43095
@murgatroid99 Chkdsk was executed in verify mode on a volume snapshot.
@BenBrocka That clock clearly doesn't reflect the actual time.
18:40
looks like "iPad (4th generation)" is the new "the New iPad"
@badp Does that say... iPad mini?
What the fuck, is 3rd gen ipad really not supported? THat's bullshit
@jeffreylin_ I think you misunderstood the question. What were you doing that caused the write error in the first place?
@ShotgunNinja welcome to six months ago or so?
user43095
@ShotgunNinja That was so five minutes ago.
18:41
I don't follow Apple releases.
@BenBrocka Leather is cheap, flat icons are tough to render.
user43095
@murgatroid99 Updating DotA 2
user43095
Which seems to work now...
@jeffreylin_ What did you do to fix it?
user43095
18:42
But Windows is still being annoyed.
user43095
REboot
I'm more interested in what Squeenix will announce than anything else, really.
And maybe see if Sony will be smart, and tear MS a new one.
@BenBrocka wait, I'm sorry, that's for AirDrop only
MINIMALISM HO!
Someone else was tweeting that too
not sure though
not watching the conf
11:39:28 AM PDT
iPhone 4S will not get AirDrop, nor will the iPhone 4.
user43095
18:43
@BenBrocka Neither am I, QuickTime is not something I want on my computer
@jeffreylin_ then do. Online scans are necessarily limited.
user43095
@badp I've done that a million times!
Gotta reboot!
@jeffreylin_ Did you reboot?
user43095
Yes
@jeffreylin_ 3 times?
Jin
Jin
18:44
my apple feed died
oh, then backup your stuff :P
user43095
@badp :(
user43095
So, this problem is beyond fixing?
@jeffreylin_ well, beyond chkdsk's detecting it seems
backup now that you can
user43095
18:45
Sigh
user43095
BACKUP ALL THE THINGS!!!
user43095
But what if the drive dies? Is the backup still good?
user43095
@badp ?
I don't like what that fade+blur effect is doing to the background of siri
18:47
@badp You can edit Siri's name? That's revolutionary!
that screenshot looks terrible
@TimStone "Siri" was the request :P
He literally told Siri, "Siri." And it replied, "What."
Oh, well that's far less interesting.
In other news, what the fuck?
Is that... a car dock?
user43095
Is that your alarm clock/GPS thing?
I'm just glad I can't use my iPhone's complicated "increase brightness" menu navigation routine as an excuse to not go outside anymore.
@badp Looks like it.
18:49
@TimStone I hope it comes complimentary with the car
where by "it" I mean the phone inside the dock inside the car
@badp It's supposed to be a car's dashboard. The screen in your car can take video from the phone. I think.
Now you can play Angry Birds while changing lanes.
It's not you sticking your iphone into your car dash.
@Keen ...uh.
so basically iOS is being licensed to car makers.

Q: Are there multiple active spells in Smite?

BrianHI just started playing Smite, so I may not be using the correct terminolgy. During the games, I used the F and G "spells" quite often. The F spell restored mana, and the G spell gives a speed boost. I compare these to the summoner spells in League of Legends where you have a handful to choose ...

18:51
@badp Which would be useful if your phone actually had enough processing power to actually drive your car.
@badp It's integration. The dash presumably has its own GUI, but when you pair your ios device, then it can inheirit that. At least, that's what I got from the demo. It was kinda vague, and I'm busy.
@Keen k.
@fbueckert Heh, that was the first demonstration. Some new AI/robotics/gaming company made a game that controls little R/C cars on a printed out track.
and of course
I guess it's a better name than Google Play Music All Access
@Keen Problem is, actual driving is much more complicated than racing R/C cars.
18:52
oh wow the 500 eruo price wasn't a mistake: polygon.com/2013/6/10/4415450/xbox-one-pre-order-amazon
@BenBrocka I never for one moment thought it was a mistake
1$ = 1€ is basically industry standard
I thought you guys got closer prices than that
like aren't $60 games 40 eruos?
@BenBrocka didn't you reply to me tweeting about CoD Ghosts being $60/€60/£40?
I wonder what would happen if I plugged an Xbox 360 into the Xbox One's HDMI passthrough for TV
@murgatroid99 I don't think it'd be fooled, given that the XBO does tuning too.
"MFi game controllers"
18:56
@badp The thing is I would really want that to work, since my dorm room has a TV with one HDMI port, and I don't have a TV box
@badp ...did facetime seriously not have audio? What's that about?
> like FaceTime Audio (audio-only calls over WiFi on any iOS device)
Audio-only. IOW, Skype
@murgatroid99 there are switches for like $20
okay, that's a shitty name for a feature
18:57
oh, so, calls
Oh good, iPad 3 isn't left out then
@BenBrocka calls and over wifi, so basically, who cares.
and that's a wrap.
@badp did they make their own wireless format just for controllers?
@ShotgunNinja Do I look like I know?
18:59
@badp lol idk
It stands for "Made For iPad/iPhone/iPod"
It's their line of/program for peripheral accessory components for the i-series of devices.
Gosh, gotta get dem facts straight.
Just got an email from Twitch saying that they're integrating with the Xbone, so you can broadcast right from your console.
That's kind of neat, I guess.
@StrixVaria That's actually really cool. I've been wishing for streaming integration in consoles for a long time now.
Less neat if they keep the 300 top channels only thing on the Xbone twitch app. Then you can stream but your friends can only watch you on PC
@ShotgunNinja PS4 has it too but I think it's Ustream
THEY STILL NEED A TWITCH APP FOR CONSOLES THOUGH
WII DOESN'T HAVE A TWITCH APP AND I AM PISSED
@ShotgunNinja Nintendo is scared of the internet
19:11
Well, wouldn't Twitch be the ones to work on the app, not Nintendo? Unless Nintendo just doesn't want to let them.
Also, I'm completely in agreement that Nintendo's afraid of the internet. They show so very little initiative to get their online content fixed.
For example, why does it still take several minutes to load the Nintendo Store?
#WiiWorldProblems
@ShotgunNinja Wii u you mean? Wii won't be getting any new channels I'm sure
@BenBrocka No. I own a Wii, not a Wii U.
@ShotgunNinja also they'd need a way to make money off your Twitch streams
Redesigned 360 won't get a price drop http://bit.ly/19Yvn2Q
@BenBrocka Yeah, see, that's the thing. Nintendo isn't really afraid of the internet; they just want to (A) make money, and (B) make sure they don't get ripped off.
@ShotgunNinja No, they're pretty spectacularly incompetent in regards to the internet
19:24
so I forgot E3 existed.
The Wii U and 3DS are much improved over last gen but still pretty lame internet-wise
I hear the microsoft convention was pretty terrible, and that microsoft decided to give a huge middle finger to everyone living in Europe by charging you $160 more for a console with less features.
And there goes another huge chunk of the market.
@Wipqozn But TV
TELEVISION TELEVISION TELEVISION TELEVISION
inb4 Developers cross-mix
19:28
@BenBrocka and sports
and #CollarDuty
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn Pretty much. -_-
girl your body is a temple. but it’s the water temple from Zelda so once I’m in there I have no idea what to do
I think this video does a good job of showing why COD gets so much hate.
FAE
FAE
19:31
@BenBrocka Lemme at'er, I got through that temple without a walkthrough or anything.
@BenBrocka The Water Temple was one of my favourite temples.
@FAE I did too, actually I dont' really recall having too much trouble. I might have had to raise the water level an extra time or two though. That or I just forget being bad at it because I've played like 4 or 5 times
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka On a completely unrelated note, are you picking up Animal Crossing?
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot :3
19:33
@FAE It should have arrived today
Hey guys, I'll begone to dinner in a while, but short story long
Remember when my display broke and I had to borrow a shitty TV?
write caption here
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Oh sweet. @Wipqozn visited my town today! Unfortunately, we both have the same native fruit. :( (peaches)
19:34
(from the daily fail)
Another shitty TV in the kitchen died today and my shitty TV was borrowed
@FAE I always seem to get apples
so I'll be buying a new TV/monitor tomorrow morning
@FAE Clearly you should have just restarted again.
FAE
FAE
@badp Congrats!
19:35
I dunno what to get though
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka I had that in my GC game, then peaches in WW, and pears in City Folk.
@badp I would give you my shitty spare TV but shipping would cost more than the TV in all likelyhood
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn I rerolled like 4x for a map I wanted, man.
@BenBrocka I just need an actual 1080p monitor with HDMI input
I always made my naitive fruit near-extinct in my games. INVASIVE SPECIES, HO!
19:36
@FAE Oranges FTW
@FAE That's why it would have been funny. if you went for a specific fruit you'd probably have spent 12 hours.
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot I've never gotten to have oranges! I am sad.
@OrigamiRobot @AshleyNunn got ORanges.
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn Or grass texture. Some people reroll for that too.
That's like my only requirement. I'm a pretty frugal person as you might've guessed, but after that I wouldn't mind getting something that doesn't suck.
19:36
I want pears as my naitive fruit because I think it makes more sense for the better tasting fruits to be worth more
@FAE wat.
FAE
FAE
@badp Yep.
@FAE I was unaware this was a thing.
FAE
FAE
@badp If you wanted to pay the shipping, I'd send you our old 28" CRT television. :P
@Wipqozn Yeah, apparently some people really like triangle grass.
What did I miss?
19:40
@FAE You should be.
iOS 7 is awful
Oh there's bananas to plant?
FAE
FAE
Also @Wipqozn @BenBrocka and anyone else who gets AC:New Leaf, make sure you go to the Post Office and ask them to check for presents, and you'll get the Rainbow Screen as DLC.
New Leaf is the first thing to make me wish I had a 3DS
FAE
FAE
19:47
@Wipqozn One of my neighbors in my town just talked about you to me, haha
@FAE what all fruits have you collected? I Try to get a full set ASAP for some irrelevant biodiversity
HN has fallen over, wow
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka My native is peaches and I got a gift of cherries from Isabelle, which I planted, so I should have those in a few days. That's it so far. I don't have island access yet.
@fredley wat.
19:52
@badp It looks so bad!
That overlay thing is terrible!
It hurts my eyes
I think @fredley is awful.
@fredley The home screen has a few font issues and the overlay does look like very ugly blobs of colours
@badp I guess it probably looks better on the device, but that control overlay looks really cluttered and the translucent background does not help
that said, it's probably going to look way better than fake leather
@badp Anything would look better than fake leather
19:53
at any rate, it's not even about looks
it's a clear switch towards utilitarianism
@badp This is an apple device
@badp It looks rushed
@fredley yes, and the ugly blobs of colour are ugly
Also Mavericks? WTF
At least they fixed dual screen
1 hour ago, by badp
user image
You know that effect you had once upon a time on Windows when you could set the desktop background to really small images and set it to stretch and it was a cheap way to set color gradients as your bg?
I'm sure new Siri will be great for another 5 minutes of verbal abuse to see what it says then never using it again
And I can change it's name to bonerfart now, it sounds like?
19:56
That is pretty much that, a chequered assortment of blobs of dark desaturated ugly colors.
Still I feel like overall this is nitpicking
They changed pretty much everything, it's obvious some changes won't be as well thought out as the rest
@FAE Oh man! What did they say? Did they comment on how handsome and funny I am? did they comment on my snazzy hat and blazier?
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn They think they're gonna be best buds with you
There's time from here to "fall" to fix it anyway. I hope for their sake.
FAE
FAE
Nooooooooo, floating present and I have no slingshot yet. :(
@FAE Sounds about right.
@FAE You can knock them down with any tool so long as they are low enough.
I have yet to get a present that way, but people have been able to.
19:58
@FAE Use the boomerang! the clawshots! the bombs! the deku bubbles!
@FAE I hate floating presents I can only get them like half the time
