Might be another escape pod night...
@Fluttershy Ahyup.
On that note, we could try to hide it better this time.
I have too big a headache to deal with him again tonight...
@Fluttershy Hey, we got "get a mod to suspend him" greenlighted, so I dun care all that much.
He's definitely trying to get rolling again.
@FEichinger Yeah, I kinda just want to bait him into eating a ban.
@LessPop_MoreFizz How could we make that happen?
01:15
@Fluttershy Just got to wait for the opportunity and strike.
@LessPop_MoreFizz You have my sword.
@Fluttershy AND MY AXE
@Wipqozn Aw... You ruined it! Axe doesn't come next! Bow comes next. =(
@Fluttershy I'M SORRY OKAY
cries in a corner Leaving out my bow just like that.
01:22
@Wipqozn BE. SORRIER.
01:37
"I have no idea about programming myself, but HEY GUISE WAT LANGUAGE U USE GUISE?! IS IT C?! IS IT COBOL?"
Also, what is it with this obsession of making weighted lists and opinions about ERRYTHIN?
This just in, Outlook is really goddamned awful.
That's not Outlook's fault, though. :P
02:06
HE B ROLLIN'
God. Fucking. Dammit.
I don't think I've ever wanted to rip someone's arms off as badly as this before... <_<
@Fluttershy Who?
@SaintWacko Johann.
@Fluttershy I'd go straight for the head, but that'd probably count as a death threat. :/
@FEichinger Just the arms. That way he couldn't type.
02:11
@Fluttershy Oh
Okay, I won't get in the way
@Fluttershy You sure?
The phrase "typing by drooling" comes to mind.
@Fluttershy you sure? most of his posts could be replicated by bashing his head against a keyboard. Assuming they aren't already.
I'm rather curious how old he is. His profile says 30, but I can't help but think that's inaccurate.
I'm starting to scratch my keyboard again ... sigh
02:16
Just put him on ignore.
The option exists for a reason.
We've already established that chat-banning him is allowed.
@Fluttershy Eh, he hasn't done anything to earn it. Yet.
@Fluttershy We just preferably need a mod. Flags are still clutter in that regard.
He's being willfully dumb, but what he's not being - yet - is aggresive. Which was the problem.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Anna Lear kinda sorta told us we could.
02:18
We've established that being disruptive is enough of a reason.
I was hoping that flag was for him.
@FEichinger Yeah, being disruptive is not the same as just being stupid though.
He is not anywhere close to as bad as he was last night. Yet.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Anna said last night that if the stupidity lead to disruption, that was reason enough. =P
@LessPop_MoreFizz I take "I care so much" with such a sarcasm-stink as disruptive enough.
@Fluttershy Yes. And my point is, it hasn't really led to significant disruption, IMO. He's toeing the line damn closely though.
02:19
But I still don't flag it, because clutter. I'm hoping we can get @badp to do the deed here.
@FEichinger protip: Click the arrow to the left of a line of chat, and select "Flag for Moderator" - it goes to mods only and lets you type a reason.
oh, that's why the bridge went quiet
@LessPop_MoreFizz I know. I was typing one up and then I withdrew. Just not that edge yet.
@Wipqozn and my bow, obviously
It doesn't need to be in the system yet, as far as I am concerned.
02:21
@kalina Yeah, we all moved in here
tbh though, I don't think he's done anything truly banable yet
(today)
@kalina Yeah, this is what I am saying.
Also, I am pretty sure I am now at an above average level of intoxication.
there isn't much character growth in this game
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm just sobering back up
@LessPop_MoreFizz I am not, and it makes me sad.
02:23
she freaked out once at the start of the game and then turned into the terminator
The bar put a lot of gin in my gin and tonic
@Fluttershy The trick is using bourbon instead of beer.
@kalina The sad thing is that there really is, it's just overshadowed by how brutal and how frequent the combat is.
If you take away the super-Rambo combat, there is actually quite a bit of character development.
I duno, if this was the first time I had seen humans skewered I'd be freaking out for days
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't have anything to mix it with though.
02:24
@Fluttershy Be creative!
I am using Apple juice.
Before I was using bad coffee
yet she falls into a river of blood and isn't bothered by it at all
I don't think rum and milk go together very well...
rum + milk = white russian, isn't it?
@kalina But you have to consider all she's done up to that point. That's fairly late in the game.
@kalina Missing a key ingredient.
nevermind I'm thinking of something else
thats vodka and milk
02:26
@kalina And Kahlua.
@Fluttershy you mean there isn't much game left after that point?
I'm on the beach now
@kalina You are getting pretty close, yeah.
stealth murdering a small village worth of people with a bow
That said, Rum, Milk and Kahlua has a different name and is also tasty
some serious headshotting skills
although I got cornered on one of the boats and beat the crap out of the guy with my climbing axe
02:27
@Fluttershy Also, as for rum and milk - do you have any hot cocoa mix lying around? Because Rum goes well in that
@LessPop_MoreFizz A different name? I'm gonna feel so stupid when you tell me it.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't... but it did just occur to me that I have Kahlua flavored coffee...
@Fluttershy yeah, but I forget it. Something cream
@Fluttershy Well then. Pour Rum into that. COnsume.
Hmmm....
Are we talking about White Russians?
Those are delicious
@SaintWacko Caucasian Russians. And, we were. But there was something else with rum and milk and I dunno what it is.
@TimStone That "someone specific" is still in the room. <_<
02:33
No one flushed the airlock yet?
Nope. He's still there. Somewhat more subdued than last night, but not by much.
no blatant reason to do so yet
@TimStone He hasn't caught fire yet, so we can't launch the Emergency protocol yet.
I'm fairly confident the first time he screws up he will have 5-10 people flag him at once though
Very likely.
02:35
@FEichinger We haven't had a spontaneous combustion around these parts in a while, it'd be nice to spice things up a little.
can I shout "by fire be purged" when the time is right?
@TimStone We only had some minor burns. That was sad.
@kalina Somehow I'd be disappointed if you didn't
understood!
@kalina That's from... something...
02:38
WoW
ragnaros
Oh shit. He got suspended for some reason. o_o
lolwut?
Ah, for "good riddance", I assume.
Would seem reasonable, if it was you who had flagged it, @Fluttershy ...
I didn't see a flag
I didn't flag stuff.
its not evidence that there wasn't a flag
02:42
@kalina There was a flag on good riddance.
See, there we go.
might've been a direct to mod though
because the message was deleted by stackexchange
well he deserves that for being a douche
I see the "Escape Pod" is once again full... what happened?
@Scootaloo 3 guesses.
02:47
@LessPop_MoreFizz Can I have a hint?
@Scootaloo If you still need one, you aren't paying attention.
Well I see:
14 mins ago, by Fluttershy
Nope. He's still there. Somewhat more subdued than last night, but not by much.
and
6 mins ago, by kalina
well he deserves that for being a douche
So I am guessing that is either Johann or Rex. Are either of those right?
9 minutes.
@Scootaloo First.
@Fluttershy I see.
I am wondering why he hasn't discovered this room, but I guess that is a good thing.
02:51
It is a very good thing.
Oh, he got suspended.
@Fluttershy I wonder if having a "vote kick" option like in TF2 and other games would be a good idea for SE chat rooms.
@Scootaloo We do. Kinda.
@Wipqozn Slow turtle is slow.
13 mins ago, by Fluttershy
Oh shit. He got suspended for some reason. o_o
@Fluttershy I was busy killing monsters.
02:53
@Wipqozn Stop being boring.
@Scootaloo It's our on bloody fault for not hiding it well enough.
Actually, it's @LessPop_MoreFizz's fault. :P
@FEichinger Hiding the "Escape Pod" or the vote kick thing?
The room.
I often think there's a method to @LessPop's madness. I think he knew what he was doing when he made this room partially findable. Then again... He does drink a lot.
3
@Scootaloo There is. It's just that voting is restrictred to people with 10k rep.
02:54
@FEichinger Oh. Are you not happy that I'm here? or are you referring to Rex.
@Scootaloo Retrosaurs get out
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't see his name here or the bridge.
@Scootaloo thankj god
@LessPop_MoreFizz Didn't he get a 24 hour ban? or just a 30 minute ban?
02:56
@Lazers whats your opinion on this?
Too bad he'll (or it) will never respond to that.
Lazers won't respond. And, in fact, isn't even here.
25 secs ago, by Scootaloo
Too bad he'll (or it) will never respond to that.
Yes, I saw it. You don't need to ram it in my face.
If it's less than a minute ago, don't quote it.
@FEichinger I still feel nerves leftover from the past 48 hours.
Anyway I won't quote so fast next time.
@Scootaloo I think it's more just an overall agitation than anything directed specifically at you.
03:02
I have a general tendency to consider everyone an idiot until they prove me wrong. I let my guard down in the past week or two, and I got punished for it with someone getting me pissed.
@FEichinger I'm only an idiot 45% of the time!
@Fluttershy I have to recalibrate, but right now, you're considerably sane.
@FEichinger I'll take it.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I was wrong! D= We don't have any rum!
@Fluttershy unacceptable.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I agree.
@LessPop_MoreFizz MMOFPS? Like Team Fortress 2?
2
jk
Sorry, the jk seemed more fitting. <_<
03:13
Cue Retro derping around here and in the Bridge.
Or not, because tech is on our side.
Let's watch our resident IT specialist solve the problem, shall we?
popcorn
I cringed at "prob internet", anyone else?
Oh snap! I can see deleted messages in here! =3
goddam
that big dude on the endurance is quick time event overload
@kalina Super easy though. Also, I had a game-breaking bug there! =D
03:19
"Super easy ... well, unless it bugs out on you."
I'll be fair and say as far as my experience with QTEs these ones aren't "bad"
although the first 30 minutes of the game were truly overloaded with them
@FEichinger Oh no. The bug was after the fight. Like... immediately after.
I am enjoying this game though
facedesk
@kalina Yayy! =D I really enjoyed it, and don't regret picking it up at all. Nice to see someone other than @BoltClock who enjoys it.
03:21
I'm normally quite picky about games with female leads
since they usually get objectified
@kalina Is having the female lead objectified in what is essentially an interactive snuff flick somehow better?
worse
Lara has spent most of her time fighting to survive, I'm fine with that
Shepard spent most of her time fighting to get listened to, I'm fine with that too
@LessPop_MoreFizz To be fair, Tomb Raider isn't really how the media portrayed it to be in earlier press.
not at all, the scene being referenced isn't like that at all
if you miss the QTE you get choked to death
@Fluttershy "interactive snuff flick" is the exact phrase used by my friend who bought it who I trust implicitly.
03:23
if you don't miss, you murder the guy
quite brutally too iirc
@kalina Very.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Everyone's entitled to their own opinions. That just wasn't what I got from it at all.
excessively brutal beating of men is fine by me
@kalina He was more concerned by the gruesomness of Lara's death animations than anything
Those have always been bad, from what I've been told.
well, most of the QTEs will result in your neck being snapped or similar if you miss them
03:25
Though they do seem surprisingly worse in HD... <_<
but to counter that
@LessPop_MoreFizz Death animations are always fun. So I don't know what the issue is with them being even more gory.
if you don't miss them you do pretty much the same to whoever was after you
it's pretty balanced
the game is overly violent for sure
@kalina More violent then Postal 2?
but I just sneaked up behind a dude and beat him around the head with a rock climbing axe
03:26
@Scootaloo No.
which in the context of being stranded on an island surrounded by murderous cultists, is exactly what I would do
@Fluttershy Then it is not violent enough. I would love to see Postal 2 remade with modern graphics. That would be amazing.
@Scootaloo "man hunt 2"
@kalina Nah. That censored all the gore.
@kalina Just to be clear you're talking about the Tomb Raider game right?
03:27
@Scootaloo yes
I have to say, there aren't many tombs in this game
Also, I'm not really a believer in the whole "The gorier the better."
@Fluttershy I think this game is just slightly on the edge of going too far
We have genres for gore, we don't need it everywhere else.
probably on the side of going too far
but it's a pretty well made game
and it isn't the same as say, doing exactly the same but within civilised society
like a game based in a city of some kind
@FEichinger Some games lack animations in some areas (which ticks me off to no end). Like in TF2 "community made" items sometimes get stock animations that make them look like pure garbage.
03:29
@Scootaloo Visuals. Don't. Matter.
its certainly very cinematic though
@kalina It is a bit on the edge. And it causes a great deal of disparity in Lara's evolution, which is really my only complaint with the game.
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I don't get this obsession with graphics and animation at all. It's nice, but it isn't a friggin requirement.
@FEichinger It just shows how lazy the makers really are.
@FEichinger gameplay and depth are always greater than graphics
03:30
They cant even animate a pistols barrel rotation? that is PATHETIC.
So what?
What's the big deal?
Granted the game is still fun, but the fact they refuse to animate weapons (at all) is really just lazy.
@FEichinger The weapons at least should be animated so it looks like you're firing it.
Why get worked up about something that's optional to begin with?
@Fluttershy were you able to play with the graphics on a high setting?
@kalina I played on Xbox... Take from that what you will.
03:32
does the Xbox version have tressfx?
@Fluttershy So, that's a no then. :P
@kalina Doubt it
@kalina I... don't... know. It still looked pretty to me!
oh yeah it does look good, I'm playing it on medium with all the fancy stuff off and it still looks nice
my graphics card lets me down so much
03:33
I stuck everything on the highest setting and it looks really nice
but is unplayable with this card
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Okay. Nope. I had the matted hair. Which... I'm actually okay with. She didn't shower for like 4 days, and was getting all sweaty and stuff. Her hair should've been matted.
@kalina So does mine :( I still can't play The Witcher 2 at anything other than the lowest setting
@FEichinger The demoman doesn't hold most of his melee weapons properly. I am surprised that they won't fix it.
The CPU is barely stressed, but the graphics card can't keep up at all
my PC is a weird setup
its like a supercar with a tiny engine in it
03:34
@Scootaloo It's stuff I genuinely couldn't care less about.
I don't want to hear any of you complain about graphics! I'm on Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics!
@Fluttershy I actually think that may be comparable to my graphics card
@Fluttershy That's adorable.
@Fluttershy Shh... you had me at integrated.
@FEichinger It's more about the fact that the makers are lazy and won't fix errors.
03:35
brand new PC, i7, 16gb of RAM, SSD, 2 1tb discs in RAID, radeon hd6750 for graphics
24 hours ago, by Fluttershy
@Retrosaur Aw! I'm adorable!
@Scootaloo And again I ask: So what?
@Fluttershy I think you just pinged him, I'm not sure.
@FEichinger Nope.
@FEichinger Why should they be allowed to be lazy and not fix anything that is wrong with their game? it's not like TF2 is dead - it is constantly updated yet they can't be bothered to fix some minor animation issues? come on.
@kalina I'm not entirely familiar with AMD numbering, but isn't x750 pretty good? I mean, it's 6xxx, so it's old, but other than that it should be relatively high end when it first came out
03:37
@Scootaloo Obviously they're focusing on other stuff.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone no, this is a card from before they last reset their numbering
5-6 years old or so I think
@Scootaloo Not to mention that, again, it's all entirely optional. They could just pce out and be done with it.
I get 15FPS in Crysis 2 with everything on minimum
@FEichinger I guess they don't really need to fix the little things, but what game breaking issues are there left to fix? the only thing they do now is add more hats and occasionally update MVM.
@FEichinger Actually if anything they are probably working on the Linux release and fixing bugs/issues with that.
CoH's depiction of the Germans is strange. The commander's lines are almost poetic
03:39
@Scootaloo I am amazed by the amount of work you expect them to do, while half the world cries for Half Life 3 to be finally released.
@FEichinger fixing a few animation issues is not that much to ask. These issues are not like a few weeks old these animation problems have been around for well over a year.
@kalina I don't even think I can run Crysis 2.
@Scootaloo That depends very much on just what causes the animation issues.
@FEichinger In the case of melee problems the big issue is that the player doesn't hold the weapon. The fingers don't wrap around the base of it. It would take them less than a half-hour to fix that alone.
And you come to that conclusion ... how?
See, if it is all that easy, do it, pitch it to Valve and there you go, fixed, boom, done.
03:44
@FEichinger because there are fan fixes out on sites like gamebanana. That and I have worked on making some custom weapons for TF2 myself.
@FEichinger I doubt Valve would accept some random patch from some user they don't know.
My point still stands: From Valve's POV, there are a ton of reasons for it to be complicated.
What are we arguing about again?
@FEichinger They don't seem to have an issue about releasing 20 hats every other day and selling them for $10 a pop.
@Fluttershy Pointless things regarding source games.
@Scootaloo Making new content is by far not as complicated as fixing existing one.
I like how the game pauses itself when you tab out
03:48
@FEichinger Fine. With this I agree.
@kalina What bow are you on?
the third one
@Scootaloo I love it.
I hate TF2, but I love that
03:50
I haven't really "played through" the game, just the main story
I will have to revisit it at all some point for all of the other tombs and collectables
@Fluttershy It is pretty nice, but I want to make it for the Quick Fix. Since you don't play TF2 that often you don't know what that is however @FEichinger should know.
@kalina The collectibles and tombs get super easy if you put points in... Survival, I think?
in The Bridge, 4 mins ago, by LessPop_MoreFizz
@Johann Build some kind of impenetrable bubble around austin and glass the rest of the state.
Survival should be the one with Cartographer and... the thing that makes your Survival Instincts put collectibles on the map.
@FEichinger as usual it was nice having an argument with you. Nite.
03:53
o7
facedesk
@Fluttershy You know as well as I do where that one came from.
Revenge flags are awesome.
@LessPop_MoreFizz We all do.
@LessPop_MoreFizz You think it's Ret?
I honestly assumed it was from that InkWhatever dude not knowing how we do things around here.
Ink is an AU user. AU users aren't dicks.
Well ... unless they're me.
... at least I hope so. o.ô
What the ...
