Just kidding, I haven't played any of them
 
Though I suppose I'm a bit meh about the part where unlike Poison, most Dragons do actually get access to Iron Tail.
 
@GraceNote They also still have some of the most ridiculous stats
 
@BenBrocka Right. I looked forward to them actually not being able to accomodate Fairy in their movesets. Though most don't really have the room to warrant Iron Tail anyway, but since it's actually a threat to them as opposed to just better coverage, it may make certain things less nasty.
Garchomp will still be dumb.
 
@GraceNote I'm not sure there's any way to make a type Dragon can't learn a move to counter. They can learn almost type. Maybe psychic?
 
@BenBrocka Only one Dragon can learn a single Poison move that isn't Toxic, and that's Druddigon.
Most dragons also don't get access to Bug and Ghost attacks, few get any offensive Psychic attacks (some get Zen Headbutt, some Psychic)
Steel is technically widespread because of Iron Tail, but in the long run it's not too bad because Steel remains terrible in its otherwise offense, so it's a lot more sacrificing for a Dragon to fit (the unreliable already) Iron Tail in a moveset.
Garchomp will still be dumb.
 
2:10 PM
At least they're not weak against ground or there would be even more Earthquake spam
 
Heh
 
This Pokemon thing sounds cool.
I should get into that.
 
I really wish Weavile learned more high-power offensive moves like Earthquake. Brick Break is pretty weak but covers some weaknesses, and it doesn't even have the best Dark move, Crunch
(also Girafarig should be half dark come on man)
 
Ok. I believe I've isolated the problem, and it's a personal user issue. Websites don't display correctly when you override the default mode the website wants to use! +Steel
 
I'm afraid you're going to have to include something about pokemon in that statement or get out, sir
 
2:16 PM
@BenBrocka Because his skin is half dark?
How ignorant of you.
=P
I wonder when Pokemon 3D will be done.
 
@MichaelDunfield The tail is very "dark" (the evil teeth) and it learns one of the best dark type offensive moves (crunch)
 
@BenBrocka it learns a dark type move without being dark?
 
Mmmmm crunch on Steel types
 
@fbueckert Really? Why, who woulda thunk it!
 
@MichaelDunfield Two actually, both seem related to it's tail (hence why it should be a dark type imo)
 
2:18 PM
@BenBrocka Does that meet your needs, oh great mod?
 
But yeah learning moves outside of your type isn't uncommon
Particularly Bite, which used to be normal, which is a common move
 
those moves sound really violent
Pokemon is disturbing.
 
I hope gen 6 includes more high-power dark moves. Nothing's 100 or over for Dark
@MichaelDunfield They are pretty brutal, especially if you read the pokedex entries

whaaaaaaa
 
2:25 PM
@MichaelDunfield The Dark Type is all about being violent, mean, and generally a jerk.
 
Ohai, @NOPE.
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Woah there sparky
@GraceNote Dark type is just misunderstood
But also violent, yes
 
FAE
Ugh today. I went to take the bus home, got to my transfer and at the transfer I accidentally got on the wrong one. -_-
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment cc: @LessPop_MoreFizz
 
2:28 PM
Wow, a lot of these are crappy
 
FAE
Had to end up getting out where I originally got in and the bus from there only goes every half hour, and if I waited half an hour for the bus plus the time it would've taken for the bus to get me to where I needed to be, I could've walked home, so I just walked. >_<
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment is he broken? These are from 4 days ago
 
FAE
And because I missed it, I got home too late to call the doctor, which I needed to do today to make an appointment. Argh.
 
@BenBrocka His avatar is broken
 
Speaking of pokemon, it apparently has Lady Gaga clones as villians
 
2:35 PM
two hours until payday \o/
 
@kalina Everyday is payday with you
 
@fredley what does this mean?
 
@kalina I have to wait weeks for payday
 
this is a different kind of payday
I don't have 400 mil in an offshore account in real life
 
@BenBrocka Meh. Could be (and already was) worse.
 
2:38 PM
@kalina You've confused reality with fantasy again
 
@fredley is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
 
Rabbits are bad at hide and seek
 
@kalina Caught in a landslide
 
@fredley No escape from reality
 
2:40 PM
@kalina Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
 
you've lost your edge
you're so slow at this now
I got bored
Fortunately, good news!
 
@kalina Fine, I'll go faster
 
New epic rap battles of history sometime soon
@fredley harder, better, faster, stronger
 
@kalina I will be harder

@kalina I will be better

@kalina This would actually be really fun if I wasn't pasted from lack of sleep right now
 
2:46 PM
@fredley Spoiler alert: It's Friday. In case that wasn't blatantly obvious already.
 
@MichaelDunfield This battle's gonna end like every argument does, with you kissing my ass and begging me for a rub
 
@kalina o.ô
Really now?
 
@FEichinger I claim innocent by stating copy and paste, even though I didn't
 
@kalina I made a map, motherfucker, and I'm reading it too
 
@FEichinger I claim innocence by stating I didn't write it
@fredley gives me specific instructions on how to fuck with you
 
2:48 PM
@kalina I know that you like to think you're so macho
 
@fredley but you smell like ball sacs and nachos
 
Oh boy its the bridge, lets talk about video games!
 
@kalina I work while you and your boyfriend Steve
 
I hate video games!
 
@kalina That does not make you innocent. It makes it worse, in fact.
@Shiester No. Games are off-topic.

2:49 PM
@Shiester GAMING IS OFF-TOPIC IN THIS CHAT ROOM

@FEichinger hey, you're ruining my fun by bringing excessive heat down on me
 
@kalina sigh Go on.
 
@Shiester games are off topic in the gaming channel
@FEichinger too late, you've ruined it already.
 
This would be cooler if you guys were actually battling and not typing out Adam vs Eve
 
@MichaelDunfield from memory
 
2:50 PM
@kalina I'm oh-so-sorry.
 
@kalina Slightly cooler, but still.
 
@FEichinger you should be
 
That's interesting. This review has three close votes, but the question itself only has two on it right now.
 
My favourite one is still Hawking vs Einstein.
 
@MichaelDunfield 20% cooler, in fact
 
2:50 PM
@kalina Psh.
 
Yoooooooooouve got no idea what you're messin with here boy.
 
@fbueckert Retracted in the meantime?
 
I got twelve inch rims on my chair that's how I roll y'all
 
Things that are on-topic: Rebecca Black, Trolling, Epic Rap Battles of History, Annoying @OrigamiRobot, Annoying @GnomeSlice, Setting Fire to things, Ponies
 
@MichaelDunfield I got 12 inch wheels on my chair that's how I roll y'all
 
2:51 PM
@fredley Something is terribly wrong when I can instantly recognize the Friday Youtube URL

@FEichinger That's the only thing I can think of.
 
@kalina You look like someone glued a moustache on a troll doll

Q: Assassinating the President

Young GuiloIn Rise of Nations is there a unique unit that can assassinate the generals or leaders? If not is there a specialty mod that can allow me to do this? The reason being I wanted to create a custom JFK assassination map. The point would be to strategically place men in order to prevent the assassina...

 
2:52 PM
well, cake
 
@kalina I'm the best. I'm the Snoop Dogg of science
 
@MichaelDunfield I’ll be dropping mad apples on your head, from the shoulder of giants

@SaintWacko oh you
 
2:52 PM
You two are ridiculous
 
@SaintWacko Riddikulus
 
@Shiester why?
 
2:53 PM
well because he didnt let my image get uploaded clearly
 
@fredley Hah

2:55 PM
I'm about to bake raps from scratch like Carl Sagan
hah
 
@Shiester they're officially called Throbbers

@kalina +1
 
@kalina A Google Search confirms this.
 
I wish I could tell people that with a straight face
I am so immature
 
2:56 PM
@Shiester tackled so hard his face came off
 
@fredley wtf
 
@kalina It's glorious
It makes me giggle even now
 
@fredley yeah I've just been asked why I'm laughing at spreadsheets
it made me laugh even more
-.-
 
@kalina Which isn't necessarily bad.
 
2:57 PM
@FEichinger I didn't say it was bad
 
@kalina PHYSICS? BITCH I'M A HORSE
 
Jin
@Shiester i think there's a subreddit dedicated to that type of gifs
 
@Jin There's a subreddit for everything, and even more subreddits besides.
 
@Jin I hope so.
 
2:58 PM
>reddit
 
Jin
i was just on that subreddit the other day.. but i forget the name..
 
@Jin Oh, you're here. Can you make a custom Arqade skin for Steam?
 
@kalina You call that complex, but yo I call you a mess
 
Jin
@MichaelDunfield i have no idea how to make a skin for steam
 
Who here has played New Game Plus in Tales of Xillia?
 
2:59 PM
@fredley why do you pick the lines that always precede the lines that will get me starred if I say them?
 
wow went to the chemistry chat to post an image and they havent had a single post in six days.
talk about dead.
 
@Jin Me neither. Also free work sucks
 
@kalina Take a guess
 
@Shiester So this is what hell looks like
 
@fredley you're evil
 
2:59 PM
@kalina I will toy with your internal ERB monologue
 
@fredley you like toying with me, don't you
 
The first of the best series of videos ever
 
@SaintWacko Skate 3 is amazing
 
@BenBrocka Yes
 
3:00 PM
@kalina I like toys
2
 
@SaintWacko HelixSnake is the best.
 
I could watch those for hours
 
@SaintWacko This
 
These videos make me laugh so hard I cry
 
@SaintWacko I experienced that when I watched myself playing Payday 2
 
3:01 PM
@kalina What's so funny about that?
 
So good!
 
@SaintWacko my skill level varies wildly from "mildly awesome" to "absolutely rotten"
 
@kalina Haha
 
My brain was convinced that yesterday was Friday even though I knew it wasn't.
 
3:02 PM
what the hell is this, go to send an email in Gmail for the first time in forever and there's a fucking pop up ad in the window. Not to mention the composition page is now a pop up window itself. Holy crap, when did this thing get so... godawful?
 
So, having to be at work today feels wrong.
@Shiester Greed.

@MichaelDunfield ಠ_ಠ
 
I'm so glad that I had to change my time tracking password last week because it was expiring... and then again this week because they implemented new security measures such as switching to case sensitive passwords.
 
@Shiester High Priority.
 
@Powerlord I'm not sure when the last time I saw a context insensitive password was
 
@Shiester What kind of work? Because how much of a WTF with what your boss said may depend on that. :P
 
Though Facebook does that in a clever way; they store two hashes of your password; one with normal caps, one with inverted, so if you have capslock on/off it works the same
 
3:12 PM
Did I mention that I can't use the mixed case version of my previous password? Which incidentally also means they're storing it in plaintext because a hashing algorithm wouldn't be able to detect that?
 
@Powerlord Oh neato

3:32 PM
@fredley yeah i use spreadshirt.com
 
Not to be mean about it, can we stop RB linking already? It's getting sorta out of hand.
 
@Jin Yeah I've used them
 
@fbueckert but without RB linking, chat will be 20% more idle on Fridays
 
@kalina I think chat will survive.

@Lazers This guy again.
 
@Lazers List, list, list.
 
@MichaelDunfield That's interesting. I see limited ecosystems as a huge problem with microconsoles. That's why no Play store access really hurts
If you could get whichever microconsole is most appealing but play mostly the same games on all of them, that'd be more appealing since there'd be more incentive to put stuff on there
 
3:43 PM
> "If you look at the revolution coming to the living room through Android devices, on aggregate, there probably will be tens of millions of devices sold," notes the PlayJam CEO. "So what we're trying to do is get our developer community's games onto as many devices as possible."
@BenBrocka Yeah, exactly.
 
I wonder if Sony's the "big company" they're talking about? The Vita (and vita TV) can run android apps thanks to PS Mobile, so maybe they could work something out?
 
I think OUYA is just hurting themselves with the exclusivity thing
@BenBrocka Not sure. They mention two separate deals with large companies.
Could be
 
Ouya's kind of hurting left and right. I don't think exclusives are going to be how you sell a microconsole though. It treats it too much like the traditional console market
You can't disrupt a market by doing the same thing except worse
 
@BenBrocka This is my sentiment exactly
Oh my God QWOP 3D is a launch title?

3:47 PM
@YoungGuilo Bet some NSA agent got a kick out of that one
 
@MichaelDunfield I think it was a great title to be honest
 
@YoungGuilo There's nothing wrong with it, I think it's fine.

Does anyone else see a problem with this?
 
Eh, probably NOT sony then
 
3:48 PM
@YoungGuilo I'm not a fan of questions that ask for mods that do specific things.
That's not my downvote, though.
 
Maybe just one of the other microconsoles I'm iffy on. MadCatz and Nvidia are also "big companies"
 
@fbueckert It's mods OR units.
 
@BenBrocka Yeah.
@BenBrocka I find it hard to believe they'd partner with another microconsole developer at this point.
But maybe.
 
@YoungGuilo You could just leave out the part about mods entirely.
 
Guess there's no way they'd know about Vita TV anyway
 
3:49 PM
If there's a mod that does it, that's a valid answer.
 
@BenBrocka Amazing
 
Of course, a mod like that would be crazily overpowered. You'd need only a single one of them to murder everything.
