@ZeroStack Many are waiting for GTA5 to hit PC, so that would be a good time to create a crew

Wipqozn

I'm going to nail this interview now.

5pike

Well, I'm off.. Till tomorrow...

Wipqozn

3:00 PM

3 stars.

I love you guys. You're the bestest.

Especially @OrigamiRobot.

Fluttershy

@ZeroStack I remember you!

Sterno

@Wipqozn I admit defeat.

Zero Stack

@Fluttershy :O

Wipqozn

@ZeroStack I remember your picture.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn I should be room owner.

Fluttershy

3:01 PM

Fredy31

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Nah, that's okay.

Zero Stack

@Wipqozn GDI FTW?

Fluttershy

Or something like that.

Wipqozn

@ZeroStack I have no idea what it's frmo.

Grace Note

@ZeroStack I remember your name.

Wipqozn

3:02 PM

I just remember the picture.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn I'll never remove you again.

Zero Stack

@Wipqozn lol oh sorry... Command and Conquer games

Michael Dunfield

@ZeroStack I don't remember you at all, sorry.

Grace Note

Wait speaking of room owner, I thought LessPop dethroned Wipqozn.

Michael Dunfield

@GraceNote Ashley added him again

OrigamiRobot

3:02 PM

@GraceNote @AshleyNunn rethroned him.

Wipqozn

@MichaelDunfield Don't feel bad about that, though, @ZeroStack. @MichaelDunfield also didn't realize that @OrigamiRobot got married.

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot Haha bitch!

Grace Note

If I were the type to emote fist shaking, that would probably be what I'd do about now.

Wipqozn

I get dethroned a lot.

Michael Dunfield

What is the Big Deal about being room owner anyway? All it does is make your name harder to read

Wipqozn

3:03 PM

@MichaelDunfield Being able to see deleted messages is the best part.

Kevin van der Velden

@MichaelDunfield you can make ponies on-topic again!

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Wasn't he also Grey Snote for a short time? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Grace Note

It lets you make others not room owners.

@fbueckert Pretty sure that was fredley.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert That was @fredley

Fluttershy

@fbueckert I thought that was fredley.

He may have been Grey Stoat though.

Wipqozn

3:04 PM

I usually just use my powers to view deleted messages and cancel stars when apprioate (like if someone stars something that's a direct insult to another user).

fbueckert

Hrm.

Kevin van der Velden

@fbueckert the hive mind seems to think it was fredley

Michael Dunfield

@Wipqozn I can already see deleted messages, go to the mssage history

Zero Stack

@Wipqozn hahahah

fredley

@OrigamiRobot wha?

Grace Note

3:04 PM

@Fluttershy He started as Gray Snoat. I changed him to a stoat.

Wipqozn

@MichaelDunfield That only works for your messages.

kalina

@fbueckert I know you've been answered three times already but it was @fredley, and I just wanted to join in

Michael Dunfield

@Wipqozn Oh.

fredley

@kalina eh?

fbueckert

@kalina Good to know! Thanks for your valuable input!

fredley

3:05 PM

Gray Snote?

Fluttershy

@GraceNote Ooooh. Okay.

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina 5 times even by now (4 by the time you said it)

fredley

Star this is @Wipqozn is not handsome.

kalina

@fredley @fredley did @fredley to @fredley and then @fredley @fredley'd @fredley.

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley that's been tried, it didn't get any stars

fredley

3:05 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Aw

Fluttershy

@fredley I can't star things from mobile. :(

fredley

MeatStare @kalina

@kalina ಠ_ಠ

@Fluttershy Yes you can

Wipqozn

The handsome stars are still winning.

kalina

@Fluttershy you should be able to star if its already been starred

Zero Stack

@kalina lol

Tim Stone

3:06 PM

@fredley But only if they've already been starred

fredley

Just a sec, let me fire up my starring sockpuppet

Tim Stone

Mobile chat is silly.

kalina

@TimStone there's an echo in here.

Fluttershy

@kalina This is true. I can star if it has already been starred.

Tim Stone

@kalina And a draft. This place is rundown.

kalina

3:06 PM

@Fluttershy I know

Michael Dunfield

@TimStone Well, it's a bridge. Drafts are expected.

kalina

@MichaelDunfield that bun doesn't look very tasty at all

Tim Stone

@fredley If they were going to do that they should just hire me

Michael Dunfield

3:07 PM

@kalina Yeah, no kidding.

fredley

@TimStone No, me

Zero Stack

So I got a new job a few weeks ago... Put this up in my cube

user15026

Tim Stone

Fine, they can hire us both and we will fix mobile chat together.

Grace Note

@ZeroStack Nice :)

Zero Stack

@AshleyNunn YAY! Also, sorry I never ended up sending you anything via the mail... I moved and lost a bunch of my documents :/

kalina

@ZeroStack I turned down my swag package because I felt guilty being listed as one of the most active users the month it was in while only being a user for a few weeks

and it was the last swag package

it's so sad

@fredley badpatty?

user15026

@FEichinger what is it with you and reposts today?

user15026

@ZeroStack Nah, but I started sending mail to random relatives, and that has been kinda fun - a couple of my relatives in the Netherlands sent me cool mail.

fbueckert

Apparently a UK retailer, SimplyGames, jacked up the pre-order price for PS4s.

kalina

never heard of them, can't be important

Wipqozn

@fbueckert I take it @TrentHawkins had no luck getting an early copy of pokemon?

Zero Stack

@MichaelDunfield Honestly I wouldnt know. That would be a question for @RavenDreamer or @Agent86 maybe?

fbueckert

3:13 PM

@Wipqozn None at all.

Stupid stores, following rules.

FEichinger

@kalina I was just joining the chain of reposts!

Zero Stack

@AshleyNunn What?! Sadpanda. but that is fun too!

kalina

@MichaelDunfield there was a meta post not too long ago, it's not "the last" but I don't think there are any more planned atm

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn THANKS FOR REMINDING ME T_T

Kevin van der Velden

@fbueckert worse than that actually. They basically said "Hey if you don't give us some extra money right now, we can't be sure your precious PS4 will arrive"

Wipqozn

3:14 PM

@fbueckert There should be laws against following rules.

@OrigamiRobot I thought you already decided you hated pokemon?

fbueckert

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, so I expect them to get hit with a profiteering lawsuit in the near future.

Kevin van der Velden

@fbueckert which actually should be a fairly clear cut case of a protection racket

user15026

@MichaelDunfield Likely not - it is generally related to a site graduating or in our case, the rebranding, so it is likely we won't see one again for a long time, if ever

fbueckert

Or they'll drop it as soon as someone lawyers up.

user15026

@ZeroStack I guess people just don't feel like sending mail, haha

kalina

3:15 PM

@fbueckert we don't have much of a lawyering up culture over here

Kevin van der Velden

@fbueckert even if they drop it you can still sue for it

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Not at all.

fbueckert

@kalina That doesn't mean someone won't to fight them for it.

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina true, you get enough lawsuits from foreigners bringing libel cases, bloody hell that's a terrible law =p

OrigamiRobot

Plus, I need more games to make me stop regretting my 3DS purchase.

Zero Stack

3:15 PM

@AshleyNunn well if you think about it, that could be a good thing? lol...

kalina

@OrigamiRobot this is exactly my justification for not buying a WiiU

to play Monster Hunter with you for two hours before you never play it again

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot Mario Kart DS

user15026

I keep thinking I want to get the new Pokemon and then I remember I barely played White and I will just get overwhelmed by it.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Maybe you shouldn't steamroll the game so it feels less like playing with you and more like tagging along.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot oh finally, you actually give me something to work with

Michael Dunfield

3:17 PM

New Game: Fancy Skulls (Alpha) now available in the IGS Store. It's a FPS with random level generation: http://bit.ly/15WQPXb

Tweeted by IndieGameStand on October 10, 2013 at 11:25 AM

fbueckert

@kalina We've already played more than that with @Raven.

Although, @OrigamiRobot sorta has a point; you tend to just drive straight through.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Is he in HR yet?

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot I don't believe so. Maybe?

kalina

@fbueckert it's all good, our playstyles are fundamentally incompatible with each other, I won't bring it up again

I certainly wouldn't call "completing all of the content" as driving straight through though

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I want to play with him more, but I hate all the other weapons and don't want to bring my G-Rank stuff in his Low Rank games.

kalina

3:21 PM

@OrigamiRobot @RonanForman you were asking the other night why I switched from leading to supporting - this sums it up pretty much perfectly. Call it premonitions.

Kevin van der Velden

I'm gonna head home, cya in a while :)

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, it feels like we're just carrying him. Which would suck for him.

kalina

@fbueckert I don't remember you and I ever playing a game together

fbueckert

@kalina We haven't; I just recall you talking about games, and I got the sense that you focus exclusively on it until you finish it.

OrigamiRobot

For reference, I have 51 hours in DX:HR and I only just got to Detroit for the 2nd time.

kalina

3:27 PM

@fbueckert at least this is a better method of reaching the conclusion than the way I was thinking of.

OrigamiRobot

@IanPugsley beat the whole game in half that time.

fbueckert

@kalina We've talked about it before; I've commented that I could never sustain the level of focus you do to run through games.

kalina

@fbueckert this brings us back to the "video games are immersive" thing from a few weeks ago

@StackExchange 2010-10-10?

fbueckert

@StackExchange Why is a three year outage being advertised?

kalina

@fbueckert not in depth for sure

ken.ganong

@fbueckert the outage caused a time delay in sending out the message.

It is just a coincidence that it is the same day and month.

Michael Dunfield

3:31 PM

Is Google down for anybody else?

Grace Note

Ha. Immersion. Depth. Haaaaaa.

kalina

@MichaelDunfield yes, the whole of Google is down

the apocalypse has begun

Fluttershy

I used to get immersed in games. Now it's more a "I'll play it when I have time" sorta deal. And then there are games like TLOU that I can only play for short periods of time.

Michael Dunfield

@kalina How the hell am I supposed to search things

Grace Note

Michael Dunfield

3:32 PM

@GraceNote I already tried that it said it was up.

kalina

Google is not actually down, and... don't search for anything until it's back up

Michael Dunfield

And now it's working again

Zero Stack

@ken.ganong lol nice

Grace Note

@MichaelDunfield Ergo it was just you.

Michael Dunfield

It's not actually working again

apparently

or it's going hella slow

Grace Note

3:33 PM

@Fluttershy I'm pretty big on immersion myself. For the most part it's a lot of what draws me into what I do play nowadays.

Zero Stack

@GraceNote Oh. My. God. That's awesome.

Fluttershy

@GraceNote Don't get me wrong. I love being immersed in games, I just really feel like I don't have the time for that currently. :(

kalina

make time

Grace Note

@Fluttershy Given your situations that I recall as of late, it's pretty understandable that you'd result in that.

kalina

I don't understand playing games without letting yourself get immersed in them

I would rather not play games than not be immersed

Fluttershy

3:35 PM

@kalina Hard to do when it's work>home>sleep, work>home>sleep. I work, on average, 11-12 hours a day. <_<

kalina

@Fluttershy oh yeah you got that job that keeps you working silly numbers of hours per week

set fire to them

fbueckert

@kalina I love getting immersed. It's why I play Monster Hunter. But I'm happy with short term immersion.

Fluttershy

@kalina Nah. I need the money.

Michael Dunfield

Anybody here interested in English Country Tune?

Grace Note

@kalina Some folks need just a general entertainive escape. Or they have other interests in gaming past immersion. Ain't for everyone in the long run.

Michael Dunfield

3:37 PM

I have an extra steam key for it

Fluttershy

@MichaelDunfield I am. But I'm not sure if I own it already. <_<

Michael Dunfield

@Fluttershy Steam says you have played it

Grace Note

Actually I guess if I think about it, I'm not so immersed when actively playing a shmup for score.

Michael Dunfield

@GraceNote Speaking of shmups, have you played Sine Mora?

Grace Note

Probably not.

Zero Stack

3:40 PM

@MichaelDunfield that actually looks pretty cool

Michael Dunfield

@GraceNote sinemoragame.com

Grace Note

Age limited what.

Fluttershy

@MichaelDunfield Yep! I own it.

Michael Dunfield

I didn't realize Grasshoppe Manufacture worked on it till I played it.

@GraceNote Wait, it is? Well it does have some harsh language, I guess.

Grace Note

You have to fill out a gigantic input box for your birthday (seriously it's like 20% of my screen), it seems pretty hard to forget.

The input boxes are larger than my large size desktop icons what the what.

3:49 PM

@GraceNote Also I don't suppose you'd be familiar with this game and know if it's worth a couple bucks?

Fluttershy

Good. My edit made it in time. I'm glad that guy spoiled some GTA5 stuff in the title of the damn question!

Zero Stack

@Fluttershy ... before hitting chat maybe... but not for me :( ( as in, I saw the spoilers)

rawr.

fredley

@GraceNote You made me think Google was down

Grace Note

@fredley I ain't the one who starred it.

@MichaelDunfield Nope, not familiar.

Michael Dunfield

@GraceNote Hummm

Fluttershy

3:52 PM

@ZeroStack I did too. :( I was hoping to save most of the chat from it though.

It just amazes me how inconsiderate some people can be. "Hey, this game's been out for about two weeks, right? Fair game!"

Zero Stack

@Fluttershy well done, though.

Fluttershy

Bleh. I hate spoilers. :( Now I lack motivation to play GTA5 again...

Zero Stack

@Fluttershy if only arQAde could tell when there might be a spoiler in the body or title of the question (like it determines if the post maybe a duplicate)

what is the html spoiler tag for the body btw?

Grace Note

We use >! to mark spoilers.

Zero Stack

<spoiler></spoiler> ?

Grace Note

3:55 PM

They would be hidden on the site and also in the oneboxed images.

Zero Stack

oh okay. thank you.

@Fluttershy well I am sure its an awesome story leading up to it, and you might be able to do something to prevent that something from something

Fluttershy

@GraceNote The latter is fairly new, neh? I seem to recall that not being the case before.

FEichinger

@ZeroStack Spoiler does not exist in HTML.

Fluttershy

@ZeroStack Hopefully! I just handle spoilers poorly. I sold Assassin's Creed 3 after someone spoiled it for me in here. :\

Zero Stack

@FEichinger the HTML part was more of a joke.

Grace Note

3:57 PM

@Fluttershy Relative to now, no. It wasn't present originally but we added it pretty shortly after the feature was released due to complaints about oneboxing.

Michael Dunfield

@Fluttershy You... you what?

Zero Stack

@Fluttershy awe. :/ That only happened to me once with the ending of BioShock

Grace Note

That said, what people classify as spoilers here... widely varies between people.

Fluttershy

@MichaelDunfield I sold Assassin's Creed 3 after a user in here ruined the ending for me less than a week after it released.

user15026

@Fluttershy That is a shitty thing to have happen :(

Fluttershy

Michael Dunfield

I watched all of the cutscenes for No More Heroes 1 and 2 on Youtube before playing either of them.

user15026

@Fluttershy I get that

Michael Dunfield

So I ruined it for myself, but it was totally worth it because it was like watching a movie.

Also Sylvia

Fluttershy

4:01 PM

@fbueckert Same. I hate spoilers. Especially for new content.

user15026

@Fluttershy That is the worst - I get people have questions but like try not to ruin stuff for other people.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy I myself don't mind them, and I don't understand why we'd have to dance around the issue here on Arqade. I get that it was a major spoiler you just edited, and I agree with the editing. Most of my pet peeve is for decades old questions, where we STILL have people putting it in spoiler tags.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert I believe there's a statute of limitations on spoilers. After so long, it can be assumed to be common knowledge. Aerith, from FF7, Game of Thrones, that kinda stuff. But for a game that hasn't even been out a month, show some respect. I consider myself lucky I've been able to avoid The Last of Us spoilers.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy This is all well and good, but I find the ridiculous song and dance some people go through to be far more offensive than the spoiling itself 90% of the time.

user15026

Sometimes I am glad I dont play a lot of popular console titles

Michael Dunfield

4:07 PM

Gas Guzzlers devs just lost points for me... they are no longer offering the old game now that the new one is out on Steam.

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz ~~I'm not sure what you mean by song and dance.~~ Well yeah, that's dumb. <_<

LessPop_MoreFizz

Or worse yet, here on arqade, when people desperately try to wink wink nudge nudge their way to a totally innocuous question simply because they can't use a fucking proper noun.

Michael Dunfield

@Fluttershy I have never played FF7 or watched Game of Thrones

LessPop_MoreFizz

HOW DO I DO THE THING WITH THE PERSON ON THE LEVEL WITH THE STUFF

fbueckert

4:08 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz That sums up my reaction nicely. Spoilers are all fine and dandy, until edits dance around the problem in an effort to avoid spoilers.

LessPop_MoreFizz

(Because yes, we have actually had this exact thing happen.)

Fluttershy

@MichaelDunfield Luckily, you can read GoT.

@Sconibulus I mean watching people react to the Red Wedding was kinda cool, but like in general, yeah. :)

@LessPop_MoreFizz I hate you

user15026

@MichaelDunfield Game of Thrones?

fredley

4:11 PM

That was the stupidest flag ever

fbueckert

@fredley No, that was a valid flag.

That was not appropriate language.

OrigamiRobot

If there's no difference between reading/playing/watching something yourself and being told about it, why bother doing those things? If there is a difference, why be upset?

Michael Dunfield

@AshleyNunn Oh. Duh.

fredley

@fbueckert Oh I see, I only saw it post-edit

Zero Stack

@MichaelDunfield oh! Let me see if I can... One second

OrigamiRobot

I find out what's going to happen? Cool, now I get to go experience it myself.

4:16 PM

@AshleyNunn Science! disagrees.

Zero Stack

@MichaelDunfield sooo.... I've never done this. Do You need to be on my friends list?

Michael Dunfield

@ZeroStack I can just post it here if you're ready to activate it.

It's a key, not a steam gift. You just activate it

OrigamiRobot

Someone telling me what happens doesn't take away my personal discovery because it's their discovery.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Fair enough, but I know how I feel personally, and that is all that matters in this case - whether or not I actually enjoy it despite spoilers doesn't change the inherent feeling that I will not like or enjoy it as much with major plot points already discovered for me.

Michael Dunfield

@ZeroStack Do you know how to activate a steam key?

Fluttershy

4:18 PM

@OrigamiRobot That is where you differ from myself and @AshleyNunn, it seems.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn Our brains are pretty good at lying to us about these things though, is the problem.

Zero Stack

@MichaelDunfield not a wallet code?

fbueckert

I think we've learned that people react to spoilers differently. I don't mind not trying to not spoil them, at least if the game/book/whatever just came out a short while ago, but I don't like us dancing around the plot point when asking a question.

Zero Stack

@fbueckert This is what it all boils down to, tbqh.

OrigamiRobot

And frankly, if you care about spoilers and you go to a place that's likely to spoil things, that's kind of on you.

Zero Stack

@MichaelDunfield can I do this in a browser though?

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Brains are icky tricky things, for sure. I know that logically, I will enjoy it likely the same, but it doesn't change the fact that I have a visceral reaction to perceiving what I consider to be spoilers.

@ZeroStack Oh, no.

Steam sucks for that
