@SaintWacko What game?
 
@Lazers Oh my. That needs some work.

I feel horrible for laughing at this. :x
 
@FAE lol
 
I've been wanting to get more people playing RotMG
 
@FAE Wow
 
6:07 PM
So I have people to talk to about it
 
@SaintWacko what kind of game is it
 
@kalina Bullet hell MMO
 
@SaintWacko The setting is more MMORPG but the style of combat is more Bullet Hell right?
 
The other day, I was leveling a Knight to unlock the Paladin, and I ran into what I'm pretty sure was a bug. Multiple screens worth of enemies, all packed together
@RedRiderX yes
I was able to wade into them thanks to the T11 armour and T3 shield I had found, and was getting exp so fast that I never needed to heal because I was leveling fast enough to get the fresh health
 
@SaintWacko Either that or just a cruel joke.
 
6:10 PM
The group took me from level 4 to level 16
 
In it's current form this question really isn't a good fit for our site. We don't answer shopping recommendation questions here, which is what this currently is. Your question regarding how much hard drive you require is unanswerable as well. We can't really you how much hard drive you're going to need, and even if we could, it's too specific of a focus (we like questions to be useful to future visitors to the site, not just the asker). — Wipqozn 1 min ago
 
it's a browser game?
 
FAE
@SaintWacko You have the most hours of any of my friends who play, haha. @Arperum is next.
 
In it's current form this question just isn't answerable at all.
 
@kalina Yes, or you can download it from Steam
@FAE Heh, and I've only been playing a week
 
6:11 PM
I've left a suggested edit for the user, but it will change the question so I'm going to let him decide if that's good enough for him or not.
 
@John Do you know what server you're on?
 
I doubt I will play it for morre than a week
also I don't have you on Steam

Q: Which game type earns the most XP in COD Ghosts?

FistOfFuryI'm trying to level up my character in COD: Ghosts multiplayer. I noticed that in some game types I get good XP in a short time while other games give less even though the games last longer. Which game type (e.g. Team Deathmatch, Domination, etc) gives the most XP in least amount of time?

 
@SaintWacko "Best Server" is the selected option
 
do I have to worry about servers or anything like that?
 
FAE
6:12 PM
@SaintWacko That doesn't matter though, right?
 
So I have no idea which server I've been on.
 
@FAE It does if we want to trade
 
@FAE Only for playing together. Characters move between servers.
 
Although I just tried to select my character and it's not actually loading into the game :(
 
D:
 
6:13 PM
Looks like I can't actually play at work
damn
 
:(
 
Oh, well. Probably a good thing
 
Heehee
Oh, I have T9 armor now :D
 
FAE
@John Yeah, that's what I meant. Character info will move.
 
I have to say
this is a bit awkward to even get running
 
6:17 PM
@kalina What seems to be the matter?
 
@FAE I don't know what this is.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot It is the game @SaintWacko is talking about. :D
 
@OrigamiRobot This
 
Ugh
Now everyone is playing it, and I can't
 
@Wipqozn Asking how much hard drive space a particular Call of Duty game + DLC takes up does seem like it would be on-topic though. He may not so much asking for a shopping recommendation as he is asking if a 4GB drive is sufficient for Call of Duty.

Q: Unable to get Realm of the Mad God to start

kalinaI have installed the desktop client for Realm of the Mad God from Steam and upon starting the game, I get the grey "loading..." bar for a prolonged period of time and then a message box with a white button but no message text or text on the button. What is going on and how can I fix this?

 
I hate that game.
 
@kalina I had this problem too. Never could get the desktop client working.
Just used the browser
 
FAE
Cannot reproduce, works fine for me. :/
 
@kalina Answered
 
6:22 PM
@Sterno Except he seems to be asking about multiple games.
He seems be asking "games like COD" more than COD itself.

Q: What guns to the most damage in COD: Ghosts?

FistOfFuryI noticed that certain guns are able to kill in fewer hits than others. Some sniper rifles say they are "Deadly from the knee up". What guns can kill in the least amount of shots?

Q: Best weapon to destroy enemy aircraft in COD: Ghosts?

FistOfFuryI haven't found a lock-on launcher in COD: Ghosts multiplayer. What is the best weapon for taking out an enemy killstreak aircraft, e.g. helicopter?

 
Wait a second..
> So i want to ask, how can i find out if 4 gb is enough for playing games such as call of duty.
 
FAE
@SaintWacko Yeah, I only ever played about 4 hours. Only have Wizard and Priest unlocked.
 
his question needs a bunch of work format/grammar wise, because I totally missed that.
 
@SaintWacko I guess I had a different problem than that one, because no amount of relaunching fixed mine.
 
6:24 PM
@Wipqozn That's what I was going off of, but regardless his question is unclear at best. I'm just saying he might (validly) edit it to that very specific case.
 
I might just go ahead and switch the focus onto that part.
@Sterno the "such as" is what makes me think it's not COD.
 
Even that said, "Call of Duty" could be one of like 10 different games
 
I tihnk he just means AAA games in general.
 
The irony of replying to a request for less excessive lazers shooting gifs with an excessive lazers shooting gif was not totally lost. I am a happy camper.

Q: Nothing seems to happen when I link my Steam account to a web account?

kalinaI have tried to create a web account and link it to my Steam account, so that I can play the game at work, however I am getting absolutely no feedback from either the web client or the desktop client and I don't seem to be able to get the accounts to link. When I start the game via Steam, I am ...

 
6:26 PM
A happy camper that's just returned from two different IKEA stores.
flops on chair
 
Oh wait, he just added that in now, @Sterno.
He made an edit. I didn't evne notice.
 
FAE
@badp Is it a new chair you just bought?
 
I'm going to edit his question, because it looks like he's trying to respond to my suggestions and fix it.
 
@FAE Oh, stuff for my sister and parents
 
All that said, I know with the latest Battlefield game, you actually can't play it on a 4GB Xbox because it's too large
 
6:27 PM
All I need is a computer and maybe a better desk lamp, which I could've bought but didn't.
 
Still waiting for you to provide a quote that contradicts the information I've provided... — kalina 59 mins ago
Assylum is trolling me in comments, I think
Being an ass... ylum

@kalina Assylum is always a troll
Seems to be about all he's here for
 
Hey guys

His behavior not really super constructive to be discussing in here.
 
Let's not talk about people that way in here.

In that manner.
 
@FAE and @Sterno sittin in a tree

That said, I was looking and saw an earlier version of the EULA which did have the 24 month thing, so he probably just has old info

Q: Quickest way to get squad points in COD: Ghosts?

FistOfFuryI'm having a hard time trying out different guns and equipment because I don't have enough squad points. One trick I tried is unlocking different squad members in order to try different initial loadouts, but the selection is limited. Is there a good way to get a lot of squad points quickly?

6:30 PM
Sorry. I just have gotten incredibly tired of aggressive, obnoxious posts from him
 
@OrigamiRobot Wait, they're sitting in a tree and on the Bridge? That seems to be a needless risk to their laptops...
 
@MechanicalLoon @RedRiderX Honestly I would've called them the Humble Murder Bundle, but oh well.
 
@Yuki No, no, we have a tree on the Bridge.
 
@SaintWacko I see absolutely nothing aggressive in those comments from him
 
@Sterno No, not these in particular
 
6:31 PM
@FEichinger @Wipqozn waters it with the tears of others.
 
We're the ones being aggressive jerks right now. :)
 
@FEichinger Well, that doesn't help either. I doubt it's old and sturdy enough to support two fully-grown adults.
Especially one of @Sternold's advanced age.

Congratulations @Assylum! You hold the record of fastest person from new to chat to my ignore list!
That goes as background.
 
@Sterno but.. but... THAT'S OKEY!
 
@Yuki It's... uhm ... genetically engineered to be strong enough ... I think.
 
6:33 PM
It took ~15 minutes.
 
@Yuki Surely I'm not the first person to tell you your avatar looks like @Ashley's now?
 
@badp Nope, you're the first.
 
FIRST POST
 
Somebody might talked about it, but you're the first one to mention it to me.
 
FAE
@Arperum Regardless, they're not in here right now, and it doesn't reflect well on the community to be saying stuff like this about someone when they're not in here to defend themselves. Whether or not someone is hostile, we don't have to be hostile back.
 
6:34 PM
(a plague that somehow we've been dodging)
 
@Arperum What @FAE just said.
 
Thanks for touching up your question! Your edits fixed my concerns, and I fixed it up a little bit more myself to make your question a bit more focused and clear. — Wipqozn 49 secs ago
 
@Wipqozn WE ALL WIN THE INTERNET TODAY
 
@Sterno YAY. HIGH FIVE?
 
"touching up"
 
6:35 PM
@Wipqozn Oh crap, now there's an answer to the old version of the question.
 
@FAE Simple. Someone should ping them :P
 
@Sterno don't worry, now we can use this as an example of why closing fast is good!

Q: Can an Xbox One player party or voice chat with an Xbox 360 player?

FistOfFuryI have an Xbox one and my brother has an Xbox 360. I couldn't figure out how to join his party or invite him to mine, or even initiate a private chat. Is this possible or am I missing something?

Q: Can I play COD: Ghosts with my Xbox 360 friends if I have an Xbox One?

FistOfFuryI have COD Ghosts for xbox one and my brother has it for xbox 360. I can see him in my friends list from the menu but I can't seem to join his game or invite him to mine. Is this possible?

 
o god @Lazers!! why you do this to me!
 
@FAE That's true. And that is also the reason I am keeping my mouth shut as much as possible.
 
6:36 PM
Mm chip shop time
 
@Lazers don't you know about "vertical space"?
 
Ah, I found out what I learned today.
 
Yeah, asslyum isn't being hostile in those comments at all. He's just disagreeing with you.
 
The word "alicorn" (yes, it's an actual word) was originally Latin, then passed to Arabic, then to English. Each time, it gained the definite article "the" ("al" in Arabic, "li" in Latin) so the phrase "the alicorn" can be translated as "The the the horn".
 
Sure, he might not be providing the source like you asked, but that's a completely different thing from being hostile.
 
FAE
6:39 PM
@Yuki hahaha
 
you've got to judge him on a case by case basis. If he's not being hostile here, then don't respond as if he is. If you want the guy to change his behaviour, then you need to actually give him a chance. You can't just keep judging and reacting to him just because he was hostile in the past.
 
@Wipqozn I feel like this could be more widely applied generally everywhere.
 
@badp I guess we were aiming for something a bit more literary.
 
Oh, apparently there's a place called the LISTEN center. "LISTEN", in this case, standing for "LISTEN In Service To Every Neighbor". So you have continually expand it to get the full name...
 
@John Yes, it could.
 
6:43 PM
@Wipqozn Tried that.
 
With that said it's easy enough for me to say do that. Actually behaving that way is trick, because people are silly and we're all people.
 
He was an aggressive jerk.
 
@Yuki Recursive Acronym.
 
@Frank Sure, and in that case he's being a problem, but in the case I was referring to he isn't doing anything wrong at all.
although even then reacting hostile isn't really the best way to go about it.
 
@Wipqozn I'm just pointing out that being nice all the time doesn't automatically mean the other person will reciprocate.
 
6:45 PM
We really should be having our mods deal with problematic users more oftne, not us.
@Frank I didn't mean to imply otherwise.
 
FAE
@Frank No, it doesn't, but it also doesn't mean we should be aggressive back.
 
all I'm saying is when someone is being nice we can't go "that guy's a jerk". just because he was a jerk in the past.
It just isn't fair to the user
 
I can be as nice as I want to him; he really doesn't like me, though, so it tends to be an exercise in futility.
 
@Frank It that is the case, just refer the situation to someone else, if you think that would go better.
 
I bought VVVVVV during the Steam Sale and just realized I also own it in the Humble Bundle.
Oh well.
 
6:46 PM
Anyways, I'm off to buy alligator clips and other supplies.
 
FAE
Anywho, food time.
 
I've also never played it and probably never will play it.
 
Yeah, you don't need to respond to every problem yourself.
I know you've a very hands on guy @Frank, that likes to try and solve every problem he can instead of deferring it to someone else, but sometimes letting someone else handle it really isjust the best option.
 
Although, @Wipqozn, I found this answer of yours that seems to be rather close to a link-only answer.
 
Also, I decided to look in the Java API and found the reference for String : toString() This object (which is already a string!) is itself returned.
 
6:48 PM
@Frank Man, that's from 2011, I was a completely different person back then.
 
@Wipqozn I'm of the opinion that I deserve the same respect as other people. If he's a jerk to me when I'm trying to help, he deserves all the trouble he gets.
 
@Frank you do deserve the same respect. All I was saying about is that when someone isn't being a jerk, don't treat them like a jerk in kind. I wasn't trying to make a comment on any situation as a whole or anythin like that.
Also, I just converted that answer to a comment.
I think I was just trying to provide the user with some helpful info. I can't remember. Either way, it should have been a comment.

Q: What is the technical term related to fps for how many frames are in a given amount of time?

Daft Mau5I was watching some hockey earlier and they used a camera that capture 2000 fps to show a player shooting a puck in slow motion.

@James Maybe one that has chips and chili in it? So... a frito pie?
 
@Yuki Would be silly to reduce having three things into having just one! :O
 
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
 
If you find yourself having to justify why you're being rude to someone, it's a good time to just start completely ignoring that person and whatever things they're involved in that provoke your response.
 
7:12 PM
@Sterno ignored
 
Dialing this AT&T service line is pretty awesome. After it walks me through the menu of how to narrow down my call, it just transfers me to a busy signal
 
@Sterno That's pretty slick, but my Comcast skips the middleman just goes straight to the busy signal!
 
"Press 1 to have us ignore your personal phone inquiries. Press 2 to have us ignore your Internet service inquriies."
Buying a house is a pain in the ass.
 
@Sterno YES IT IS! I still don't understand half the crap we had to sign, and it was like 10 years ago.
 
The gas company one-upped them. It put me on hold and told me I could enter a call-back number so I don't have to wait. I did. When it called back, it said "Press 1 to speak with a representative" and then refused to acknowledge my 1 press. After 3 tries it said "Too many invalid inputs received. Goodbye!"
Everyone is trolling me today.
 
7:16 PM
@Decency so cast a reopen vote on it, everybody is entitled to their opinions, and I'm entitled to not have you jump at me lashing out because I voted with my votes the way I saw fit. Also: take stuff like this to meta, don't do it out in public. — kalina 5 secs ago
 
@kalina I do it out in public all the time.
 
@kalina I have a feeling someone didn't just read @Wipqozn's advice.
 
@JasonBerkan Oh burrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
 
@JasonBerkan me?
 
7:18 PM
Also, there's nothing wrong with disagreeing with a closure in the comments. I, too, do it all the time.
 
@kalina Toi.
 
@Sterno I didn't know Meta wasnt public.. I feel all special now for knowing how to access it :)
 
@Sterno T... TMI...
 
We regularly point out why we think a closure is incorrect in the comments.
 
The time when you should move it to meta is when the comments start to get out of control.
 
You can move it to meta before that of course if you want.
 
@Ullallulloo Clearly, Pyros like to accessorize. I know I do.

Q: How do I get map specific events (like Mortar or KEM Strike) in COD: Ghosts?

FistOfFurySeveral times I'll be playing multiplayer in COD Ghosts and the opposing team will call in some kind of killstreak (like KEM Strike) that kills the entire team and changes the map layout. How do I get these and which maps have them?

 
Being on hold is the worst.
 
@Wipqozn Definitely a possibility. It's also a possibility with pretty much every question on the site about any competitive game.
 
7:26 PM
@Sterno We should all ignore sterno so it'll be like he's on hold with the bridge.
@Decency It's on-topic, but I'm not sure if it should be re-opened. Isn't most expensive item the kind of thing that'll change with patches as new items are added, others are removed, and prices are changed?
I don't play DOTA myself, so I'm not going to vote to close if it does get re-opened, but that would be my concern with the question.
 
@Wipqozn So will anything in the game.
 
@Ullallulloo sure, but frequency is important in that.
 
it's a trivia question in its current format
 
Like I said, I don't know much about DOTA, so I'm not going to vote either way. Just throwing in my concern.
@kalina I don't think trivia is off-topic.
 
Woops, edited by accident: Reopen, obviously on topic: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/135658/…
 
7:29 PM
It is for every other game I've come across
 
I can't remember. the rule on that has changed a few times.

Q: A Close Vote is not a Super-Downvote. Please don't use it as one

LessPop_MoreFizzSo, yesterday a dumb question was asked.. It was closed as Not A Real Question in less than an hour, and reopened mere minutes later. This isn't the first time that this has happened. It usually results in lots of arguing and acrimony and generally all comes out of a simple misunderstanding. The...

 
@kalina The off topic reasons are pretty clearly elicited.
 
@RedRiderX I think you chose the wrong letter to multiply.
 
Currently, trivia is on-topic but downvoted into oblivion, as per LessPop's meta post.
 
@Wipqozn Kind of, but I've never seen a price change by more than like 100 gold.
 
7:30 PM
@Decency I have put you on ignore because you're purposely agitating me
 
@RedRiderX There we go.
 
@Yuki I looks weirder.
 
@kalina You're not deleting a question with 3 reopen votes on it.
 
And it would be hard for the top item to change much.
 
@Wipqozn I am if two more people cast votes
 
7:30 PM
@kalina Then I'll vote to undelete.
 
@Wipqozn undelete*
 
We don't delete questiosn with reopen votes on them.
 
... I don't recall closing that.
 
@RedRiderX But G makes less sense when you try to pronounce it. Also, might get you punched.
 
@kalina You're purposely missing the point and I'm trying to hammer it home, so I imagine I am agitating you.
 
7:31 PM
In fact, I'll flag it for a mod f you delete it.
 
Well, VTR'd.
 
@Yuki Oh right.
Good point.
 
Can we just get another bloody reopen vote on that to get this over with?
 
@Wipqozn As for frequency, it's not too likely. The current answer has been the current answer for at least the past 3-5 years. Other questions vary with regularity closer to that in months.
 
@Decency I have removed all of my comments pending your successful campaign to get it reopened, you should remove all of yours so I don't have to flag them all as obsolete
 
7:34 PM
Can we not play this game?
Asking for delete votes while someone else is asking for reopen votes is just silly. Come on, guys.

you're only addressing the men in the room, I'm guessing you don't want any action from me
 
@kalina Stupid technicalities.
 
@kalina ...
...., even.
 
@kalina ...
 
@Decency Okay. That addresses the only concern I really have with that question being re-opened then, so I'll cast the last vote.
 
7:36 PM
It is entirely possible to argue about whether or not a question should be closed/opened without getting hostile at each other. @Frank and I do it all some of the time.
 
user4704
I don't see why that should be deleted? It's not offensive or egregiously poor. Seems to me like it should either be closed or not, and if the latter, left there as a signpost (the same reason we leave closed questions around in general)
 
@JoshPetrie ???
 
@JoshPetrie Generally, closed questions are deleted ...
 
The only closed questions we intentionally leave around are duplicates.
 
@JoshPetrie Except for duplicates, all closed questions should eventually be either reopened or deleted.
 
7:37 PM
you'd think a moderator would know that
 
user4704
@FEichinger Not explicitly though? Unless you do that differently here.
 
It's a stupid quesiton with 3000 views. Therefore it is a moderately valuable stupid question. Nothing more than that. Adios.
 
maybe this is an arqadeism
oh views must make a good question
like the time somebody asked where they could watch the oscars online on movies & tv and got 50k views in 30 minutes
 
@kalina Oh for god's sake, stop it. Don't get petty about this.

@kalina I have a feeling someone didn't just read @Wipqozn's advice.
 
7:38 PM
should have kept that one around too, right?
 
Seriously, just step away from the computer and cool down.
 
user4704
We never go around VTD'ing closed questions on GDSE, at least. When they go away, it's because something automated did so.
 
-.-
I am cool, not angry at all
 
@kalina It means that other people were wondering the same thing at least, which is a large part of why we exist.
 
we exist to provide high quality answers to high quality questions
of which that one contains neither
 
7:39 PM
In my experience, telling people to cool down just makes them angrier. I know it does for me.
 
@Sterno Cool down and listen to your on hold music.
 
@JasonBerkan )#(*)#(*$)(*#$!
 
@Sterno Qbert?
 
I am now going to have ten million "what is the most expensive item in X" questions
 
@JoshPetrie Different cultures it seems. On Arqade we try to delete closed questions to keep the site clean. We don't like keeping closed questions around for ever if they're not going to be re-opened. If a questions been closed for a couple months it very rarely is going to reopened.
 
7:40 PM
@Sterno Hm... Well, then... Get extremely angry, @kalina! Burn things! Burn all the things!
 
"what is the most expensive item in World of Warcraft"
"what is the most expensive item in The Secret World"
"what is the most expensive item in Diablo III"
 
user4704
@Wipqozn I see.
 
@kalina No one said it was a good question.
 
user4704
I like that, but I think it would break too many links for too many people on GDSE.
 
@JoshPetrie Yeah, I can certainly see why you'd want to keep certain closed questions around even if they''re not dups.
 
7:42 PM
"what is the most expensive item on the Blizzard store"
 
Some questions are still useful even if they aren't a good fit for SE.

why should I have to stop? It's acceptable when other people do it?
 
OH GOD THEIR BUSTED AUTOCALLER IS CALLING ME ON ONE PHONE WHILE I AM ON HOLD ON THE OTHER

@Yuki all of those questions are terrible questions that I would never write
@Sterno lol
 
@kalina No, I'm seriously asking if that's a criterion. If a question type can be molded to fit any game just by changing out a few keywords, is it or is it not allowable?
 
and nobody else on the network would aggressively defend their existence in a manner that basically equals threatening somebody based on their opinions
 
@Yuki It'll be fine. @kalina deletes anything she posts with a negative score anyway.
 
7:44 PM
@kalina I ask you to stop with your passive-aggressive sarcastic nonsense. The questions would be on-topic, period. They're also terrible questions (and in the case of most MMOs very hard to maintain because they change frequently and thereby too broad - that's not the case for Dota 2).
But whether or not they're terrible questions has no - and shouldn't have any - bearing on whether we close them or not.
 
@FEichinger That's why we have downvotes, right?
Or are downvotes used for something else?
 
@FEichinger my issue is with some random on the internet assaulting me with a threatening tone based on my opinions and making a bunch of accusations while everybody else stands around accepting it
 
@Yuki That is precisely why we have downvotes.
 
Confuzzled.
 
I thought we had downvotes to cause pain and misery in others.
 
7:45 PM
@Sterno Yeah, but you can't put "I hate you" as a downvote reason, so they need to make up something else.
 
telling me why I thought something when you don't know is one of the single most stupid and obnoxious things
 
@kalina Where exactly did that happen?
 
@Wipqozn It's implied!
 
in the comments that are now deleted
 
@Sterno That won't hold up in a court of the internet! NICE TRY
 
7:46 PM
@Wipqozn You can always put "I hate you" as a downvote reason. You just need to disguise it as something else.
 
@Yuki I'm sure if @Sterno tries hard enough he can find that reason in the FAQ.
He found out that I'm to blame is in the FAQ after all.

I need a code so I can be mean to you guys, but if you flag it, no one will validate it.
 
@Sterno Just make up a few words.
 
@OrigamiButterscotch
 
also, @Ullallulloo, what does "combined item" mean?
 
7:48 PM
@kalina I haven't even read them - and given that they're now deleted I can't do it anymore either - I was primarily concerned with why that question was closed. And none of what I saw in chat warranted that episode there.
 
> I was wondering, what is the most expensive combined item from Dota and Dota 2?
 
@Sterno Flagged as I-feel-like-doing-some-flag-trolling.
 
It's been bugging me.
 
and now I'm getting downvoted, what a surprise
 
7:49 PM
@Wipqozn OH, THANKS. I think that's why I close-voted! Probably went with unclear instead of the off-topic reason!
 
I guess I will assume that is @Decency and just nuke everything he's ever posted
 
@FEichinger You're welcome.
 
@Wipqozn Some items you buy, and some items come from multiple items that automatically combine.
 
@Ullallulloo ah, okay. TIL.
 
@kalina Wait, what are you getting downvoted on?
Just everything?
 
7:49 PM
questions, like normal
 
@Wipqozn I was so confused. I mean, I was pretty sure I didn't close as "trivia" ... I wouldn't close as trivia. But I definitely did close it ... But I didn't know why.
 
It's not really needed since the most expensive single item is like half the price of the most expensive combined one.
 
@kalina Recent questions or just anything you've posted?
 
@kalina Anything that doesn't leave a downvoter penalty :/
 
7:51 PM
@kalina Anything that doesn't leave a downvoter penalty :/
 
"alkalimetrical nonodoriferousness" sounds like a great name for a band.
 
@Ullallulloo Fun
 
@Wipqozn I think I'm snowed in. What about you?
 
@MBraedley Yeah, I worked from home.
 
@Wipqozn sucker, took vacation today
 
7:59 PM
I'll probably go out later and help my father clear up the snow. We've got a snow blower, but you can't really get in between the cars with it.
 
We're supposed to get a foot of snow here on Sunday. Boo
