@GraceNote The amount of terrifying surrealism seems like your cup of tea.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I enjoyed that movie.

It wasn't great, but it was good.

3ventic

@MichaelDunfield I might have followed your discussion wrong..

Michael Dunfield

@3ventic I don't think so.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn I thought it was pretty great.

Michael Dunfield

But I'm not that interested in it.

3ventic

Mad Scientist

Jin

Michael Dunfield

@Jin Oooo I've been meaning to play the first one

Have you seen this

CC @GraceNote

Jin

@MichaelDunfield get it! it's dirty cheap now. seriously, the game may look goofy... but it's up there with Devil May Cry, or even better. amazing game

Michael Dunfield

20:04

@Jin I haven't seen it anywhere =[

Grace Note

@MichaelDunfield Nope

Michael Dunfield

@GraceNote New Suda51 game!

Jin

@MichaelDunfield I've seen used copies being sold at my local Gamestop

Michael Dunfield

I don't know if it's out yet.

@Jin I haven't seen any at my local EB Games

I don't think

haven't looked in a while though

but yeah Bayonetta looks awesome.

Grace Note

I've never actually played a Suda 51 game.

badp

20:05

If you want to see Gabe Newell talk for a while, I hope you like loud music clipping badly for a bunch of seconds

Michael Dunfield

@GraceNote You haven't played No More Heroes?

Grace Note

Not personally, nope.

Michael Dunfield

But you have Bad Girl as one of your avatars.

@badp lmfao daft punk

Sterno

> James Wiseman, it’s by no accident that SO has received so much negative publicity so quit trying to justify the unjustifiable with baloney!

Elitism is discriminatory… illegal even!

Grace Note

@MichaelDunfield Yes I do.

Sterno

20:07

I love reading blog comments

Ben Brocka

@Jin Never played it, what's it play like?

Sterno

Also, what the heck is the markup for quoting something like what I have above?

Jin

@BenBrocka Devil May Cry, but better

Unionhawk

Well that was some weird glitching

Jin

@Sterno >

Sterno

20:08

@Jin Thanks

I've only been doing that wrong for forever.

Jin

wait.. this game is only on Wii U WTF?

Michael Dunfield

@Jin Bayonetta 2?

Jin

@MichaelDunfield yeah 2.

Michael Dunfield

@Jin whaaaaaat

Also I should probably not post Bayolante in here.

@Jin Youtube it, but not if you're at work.

Yuki

@Jin Apparently, Nintendo were the only ones willing to fund it.

Jin

20:12

so many good games never got the attention they deserve

like Vanquish... that game is soooo amazing

Michael Dunfield

@Jin YES

Speaking of Vanquish, have you heard of Blood Alloy @Jin?

Ben Brocka

@Jin yeah platinum games is doing an exclusivity thing with Nintendo it seems

Michael Dunfield

Blood Alloy looks amazing

Jin

►

Michael Dunfield

@Jin Vanquish is one of my favourite games of all time.

> Currently being developed for Windows PC, Mac, and Ouya, its creator, Boston-based Suppressive Fire Games, says the game is inspired by "the combat mechanics of Dark Souls, as applied to gunplay, and the dynamic speed of Vanquish."

Blood Alloy ^

Jin

20:13

@MichaelDunfield mine too. probably the best 3rd person shooter i've played

Michael Dunfield

@Jin I've played Metal Arms which was also very good, but yeah it's up there.

►

> Also, my three word review of Vanquish.

Jin

@MichaelDunfield i discovered Vanquish from an episode of Extra Credits(awesome show btw). penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/the-myth-of-the-gun

Michael Dunfield

@Jin I think we've had tihs discussion before, because this sounds familiar.

I discovered it in OXM, and then again later when it won Gamespot's 'best game no one played' award of 2010 or something.

Jin

btw we had James from Extra Credits on our podcast once

Blog - Stack Exchange: SE Podcast #23 – James Portnow

Alex Miller on October 19, 2011

Our guest today is James Portnow of Extra Credits. We are also joined in the studio by David Fullerton.

James Portnow is joining us! Extra Credits has been a thing for a few years. The idea struck back when James was working at Activision. He wanted to open up the conversation about game development and design to the consumer side, instead of continuing to speak in the industry-centric bubble.

At Stack Exchange, we’re trying to make learning fun. All of the gamification that we do on the system is in service to the goal of making the internet a better place for learning. …

Michael Dunfield

Oh I remember that one.

Is that who that was.

Yuki

20:16

Ugh. Something is keeping me from trying out Pokemon Omicron...

Computer just crashed when I almost done with the .zip download.

Michael Dunfield

Jin

maybe i'll wait on GTA5 until PC port comes out... and get Pay Day 2 instead.

but i heard the latest patch messed up on how much money you can make, and introduced some other bugs

Jason Berkan

@MichaelDunfield My very first Google search was the first line of the chorus of a song I liked. It was what convinced me Google was better than Yahoo! (or AltaVista, or whatever the hell else I was using at that time).

Jin

@JasonBerkan Lycos! Webcrawler! Excite!

is it just me or the star wall is extra sexual today?

Michael Dunfield

This is such an amazing animation reel

vimeo.com/65817072

Honestly

Ben Brocka

20:21

@Jin If your idea of sexual is handwashing, neutering, spacegoatfarts and poop...

Jin

@BenBrocka so?

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka Sounds about right.

Yuki

@BenBrocka Fits my image of @Jin.

Jin

this is still 'merica isn't it?

Michael Dunfield

@Jin is my favourite stackexchange employee because he finds the same things I do interesting.

Ben Brocka

20:23

@MichaelDunfield Can't not read that as related to my last statement

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka Er... whoops.

@NickT Jin is a barcode.

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka I...just kinda assumed it was.

Jin

Michael Dunfield

@Jin Is that you?

Ben Brocka

20:24

@MichaelDunfield He likes to get all dolled up for the weekends

Michael Dunfield

Because if it isn't it's meaningless!

Jin

@MichaelDunfield yes, pre-op

OrigamiRobot

@MichaelDunfield If that's @Jin, I need to update my fanfic.

Michael Dunfield

@Jin Hahahahaha :P

Jin

@OrigamiRobot ...

Michael Dunfield

20:25

There's Bridge fanfic?

OrigamiRobot

@MichaelDunfield You are featured prominently.

fbueckert

Spammity spam spam

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot ...Do I get dominated?

Ben Brocka

[tag:•ᴥ•]

Aw

Michael Dunfield

ಠ_ಠ

OrigamiRobot

20:27

@MichaelDunfield That's an oddly specific question...

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot Well it just seems like the kind of thing you people would do to me.

OrigamiRobot

@MichaelDunfield When you mouse over ಠ_ಠ, it gets more disapproving.

35

Michael Dunfield

Wait, is fanfic the fic I'm thinking of

@OrigamiRobot Hahahahahahahahah that's amazing

OrigamiRobot

I can't stop now.

Kevin van der Velden

@MichaelDunfield not necessarily, but I'm assuming it is

Grace Note

20:28

@OrigamiRobot Pffffhaaaa

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot This is the greatest thing

@OrigamiRobot -'

You got a spare apostrphe in there.

OrigamiRobot

Damn my overzealous apostraphes

Tim Stone

@OrigamiRobot Heh, chat tags have the border bug too, so you can get it to flicker back and forth if you hover carefully...

Ben Brocka

@TimStone Friggin css

Tim Stone

blames @Jin

FEichinger

20:34

@TimStone webkit-only as far as I can tell. :P

Jin

@TimStone you have check in access too you know??

Tim Stone

What?! :P

Ben Brocka

Fix it and call the resulting kludge class ".JinIsDumb"

Tim Stone

Man, if I really did have access, I'd fix so many bugs. And half of them would be CSS-related, so that Jin would draw me as a knight in shining armour.

Shantae animation interview

Michael Dunfield

20:39

@BenBrocka This is awesome, but distracting

OrigamiRobot

@TimStone You're already my knight in shining armor.

Tim Stone

<3

Ben Brocka

I figured Mariel was the lead on the project but I guess not. I guess she just did the rough animations?

Also Shantae is 75% funded at 300,000 kickstarter.com/projects/1236620800/shantae-half-genie-hero

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka Sweet!

Ben Brocka

Hope they hit at least a couple stretch goals

OrigamiRobot

20:45

Tiny arduino clones keep sucking me in

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka Another game that you might be interested in checking out and maybe getting in touch with the devs: desura.com/games/volt

Ben Brocka

@MichaelDunfield Oh, pretty

Michael Dunfield

I want to buy it but dumb paypal isn't letting me do IOU payments any more

@BenBrocka Also, I don't know if you saw this when I linked it earlier, but kickstarter.com/projects/hinterlandgames/…

OrigamiRobot

@MichaelDunfield IOU payments?

(Don't tell me what IOU stands for)

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot Like when you don't have anything in your paypal, you can do a non-instant payment.

Yuki

20:50

@OrigamiRobot International Oubliette of Uranium (Pancakes).

Michael Dunfield

But I think the way it works is there's a buffer paypal picks up to let you do that and if you make a bunch of purchases too quickly it stops letting you do it for a while.

OrigamiRobot

@MichaelDunfield When could you ever do that?

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot All the time. Basically what it does is transfer the money directly from your bank account I think so it takes like 6-8 days

Or sometimes they make you do an e-check

I never have anything in my paypal

OrigamiRobot

@MichaelDunfield This is the way I always do it. I've never seen it referred to as an IOU payment.

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot yeah it's actually 'non-instant payment'

I just called it IOU payment

OrigamiRobot

20:53

Oh, that's dumb.

Ben Brocka

I just use a credit card

Michael Dunfield

Gah

@BenBrocka I don't have a credit card.

OrigamiRobot

You could have just said "It's what I call blah blah blah"

Ben Brocka

How do you live

OrigamiRobot

I don't have a credit card either.

Jin

20:54

@OrigamiRobot that's un-American

OrigamiRobot

I don't need no credit card!

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot Oh, sorry.

Ben Brocka

I don't do cash, checks or direct access to my bank account, and debt cards are much more dangerous for fraud

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot How do you pay for things?

Alok

I forgot how to view %age accepted on questions, how to do that :)

Michael Dunfield

20:54

cheques*

Jin

@StrixVaria he barters

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria Debit card.

Michael Dunfield

Speaking of debit cards, I lost mine at the movie theatre last night I think

Means I didn't get lunch today.

Pretty hungry.

@Jin Yes? Doesn't everyone use the barter system?

OrigamiRobot

Speaking of debit cards, MY FUCKING BANK NEEDS TO SEND ME A FUCKING NEW ONE.

Jin

funny story about credit cards.. i had dinner with a friend a while back. when we left, we accidentally took each other's card and spent each other's money for the next week...

Ben Brocka

20:55

I don't get the appeal of debit cards unless you really, really, really need something you can't overspend on. I get cards with no fees and pay them off so I never pay interest

Jin

and my friend thought someone hacked his identity and called the bank canceled "his" card.

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka I would never ever remember to pay off a credit card

Jin

anyways, it was a huge mess. and he outspent me by a lot

Sconibulus

There are gas stations near me that give 10c/gal off if you pay with cash or a debit card

Jason Berkan

@BenBrocka You don't have to remember to pay them off.

OrigamiRobot

20:56

@BenBrocka I don't want to have to remember to pay something off.

Michael Dunfield

@Jin That sounds like a win/win

OrigamiRobot

@JasonBerkan high-five

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot We can be friends again.

Ben Brocka

@JasonBerkan auto-pay

Jin

@MichaelDunfield it's funny because he told me he was on the phone with the bank, yelling at them.. then suddenly he saw my name on the card.

Michael Dunfield

20:57

@Jin Hahahahahahahahaha

Ben Brocka

...is there any credit card company that doesn't have auto-pay

Michael Dunfield

Awkward.

Q: How much progress can a new player make in a tower event?

There is a new event starting soon, Hazy Moon Delight which is a tower climbing event. Let's say that I start a new account, with the assumptions: No in-app purchases or buying premium features in any way I manage to do the constant checking needed to maintain my progress as HP refills Gameplay...

ayakashi

OrigamiRobot

I don't see the point in a credit card.

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka My bank wants me to print out a PDF, fill it out, and send it to them in the mail for auto-pay on my credit card, even though all of my accounts are with them. |:

Michael Dunfield

20:58

Tim Stone

@OrigamiRobot Credit, unfortunately. :/

Jason Berkan

@BenBrocka and it's impossible to overpay with a debit card. My cc limit is huge. I'm scared to use it.

Ben Brocka

@TimStone I recall it being basically check a box

OrigamiRobot

@TimStone I don't need credit.

Michael Dunfield

Five years ago, Stack Overflow launched. Then, a miracle occurred.

Jin

20:58

@MichaelDunfield so far the only comments from the blog is praising SO.. we need more Arqade stories..

Ben Brocka

@JasonBerkan I never really splurge. Not anything I can't afford. MY credit limit is abysmal

Michael Dunfield

@Jin I'm probably not the best person for that job, for various reasons.

Alok

@OrigamiRobot Points, for the reward cards. Unless you shop at places that give cash discounts

Jin

"I was just a normal guy with friends 'n a hot GF. But after I discovered Arqade, it made me become a better gamer. Eventually my GF dumped me and my friends don't want to hang out anymore"
