Someone is making french toast on television. I now feel like french toast.

GnomeSlice

...One more.

►

Okay. I'm done.

WHO STARRED THOSE.

Wipqozn

Those?

I don't understand your use of the plural.

GnomeSlice

@Mana's and mine.

Wipqozn

oh, okay

Well I starred the second one, but not the first.

You know, to be funny.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Of course.

Wipqozn

17:05

Just to add to the spam

youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pIrvpn3k9A4

Odd. It won't load.

Well that's my day ruined.

GnomeSlice

You can't onebox with the embed links.

Wipqozn

►

ah I see

thank you kindly good sir

Allow me to remove my witty star.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Pft, put it back.

I can always use a good ego boost.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice MY word. So aggressive.

Like a modern day Gandhi.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn RAWR.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn No, that video is the response.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice SCTV or Kids in the Hall?

@GnomeSlice Messages were sent at roughly the same time.

Q: How do I use Merchant Ships on Napoleon: Total War?

I know battle ships can be used for: piracy troop transport fight other ships The merchant ship however seems ill fitted for all those purposes. When and how should I use it?

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn UHF. (Weird Al)

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Oh, well then. Looked like either SCTV or Kids in the Hall.

@Wipqozn flags, stars

badp

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Did you actually flag it ?

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn No.

@badp That's not a real image, is it.

badp

17:17

It might be interesting if somebody decided to look at your monitor as you look at it 1:1

GnomeSlice

@badp ?

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice I think he's drunk.

GnomeSlice

@badp And someone took the time to write all of this.

> So... just in case you don't know what I'm referencing, the new Mortal Kombat game appears to have a massive list of banned words coded into the software. Like, a lot. Like, I've never heard what most of these things are.

GnomeSlice

17:19

@badp I saw it already.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice web comic artists have a lot of free time.

GnomeSlice

@badp Oh. Hah

Wipqozn

GnomeSlice

"empalmarse"?

@GnomeSlice Possibly spanish?

okay I'll stop spamming with this last image

GnomeSlice

@badp ??

Try this link instead.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice I lol'd

GnomeSlice

17:30

@Wipqozn Read the next one, too.

Wipqozn

Although it may not be appropriate for this room.

Mana

STAR ALL THE THINGS

Wipqozn

Could be offensive, et cetera.

@Mana No.

GnomeSlice

And since we're talking about webcomics:

That's the only webcomic I've read for any length of time of my own volition.

Mana

HOMESTUCK

READ IT

Wipqozn

17:34

@Mana No.

@GnomeSlice Oh man! Such a great image!

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn ..?

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice 404

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Wow, seriously?

@Wipqozn That one?

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice That one is fine.

GnomeSlice

Also, lol.

Oh man. Why haven't I read this before.

Wipqozn

17:43

@GnomeSlice Is that from a game, or just an image someone made?

Either way, amusing parody of Zork.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn It's from this. I lol'd.

This is amazing.

> Realizing that you've used the Magnet and Twine to solve one problem, you'll never ever need to use them again, so you throw them away like the damned fool you are.

Mana

That "so" should not be there.

GnomeSlice

@Mana ?

Mana

(That sentence makes me feel like I've mastered the English language)

GnomeSlice

@Mana Ah well.

This is full of puns.

Mana

17:51

It is entirely puns.

GnomeSlice

@Mana Not quite.

Wipqozn

@Mana You're a pun.

@Mana Also, why?

Mana

@Wipqozn You seem slightly more aggressive than usual today!

Wipqozn

@Mana Whatever do you mean?

Q: Are there any consquences to killing the innocent?

There are many innocent civilizians in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Assuming I don't do so in sight of a police officer, are there any consquences to killing civilizians, or am I free to soak Detroit red with the blood of its people?

deus-ex-human-revolution murder

GnomeSlice

Mana

17:53

@Wipqozn "Realizing x, you <do stuff>"

"Realizing x, so you <do stuff>" isn't correct

If you wanted that so there, it should be "You realize x, so you <do stuff>"

GnomeSlice

@Mana Well, it's "Realizing x, you'll never need y, so you do z"

Wipqozn

Oh my, I must have stumbled into the EL&U chat room.

Mana

@GnomeSlice Something seems weird there. It feels like the stuff in-between the commas was meant to expand on the first part, like it could be ommitted

GnomeSlice

That's the best image so far.

@Mana Yeah, I just went to the next page after mulling over that for a few minutes.

Wipqozn

> Realizing that you've used the Magnet and Twine to solve one problem, you'll never ever need to use them again, so you throw them away like the damned fool you are.

the you'll never ever need to use them again is awkwardly worded.

GnomeSlice

17:57

I might have copied it wrong.

One moment.

Mana

IT'S JUST NOT A VERY GOOD SENTENCE ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH

GnomeSlice

Mana

rips GnomeSlice's head off

GnomeSlice

@Mana I KNOW.

Wipqozn

It should be something like this:

> Realizing that you've used the Magnet and Twine to solve one problem, and that you'll never need to use them again, you throw them away like the damned fool you are

Mana

17:59

Thar we be. Atta boy Wipqozn.

Wipqozn

Score one for the Bridge

Take THAT EL&U!

Mana

BOOM!

GnomeSlice

Yeah, that's what I came up with too.

Mana

shoots flames from fingers

Wipqozn

@Mana headshot

GnomeSlice

18:00

Should I post this as a question on ELU?

Mana

directs flames at GnomeSlice's face

GnomeSlice

@Mana I'll take that as a no.

Arda Xi

@GnomeSlice That's the intro of Machinarium!

Well, other than the revolver.

GnomeSlice

@ArdaXi ?

Wipqozn

Also, @Mana, I can see how you spent so many hours in Detroit.

badp

18:01

well, Don Newmann just reflected two missiles at once and killed me (medic) with it

Arda Xi

@GnomeSlice The reply button. Do you know it?

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi Not personally.

badp

The only thing I could reply was 'hello Youtube' :/

Arda Xi

I do.

We are very close.

GnomeSlice

Wipqozn

18:02

@ArdaXi well jeez, get a room or something. Gawd.

Mana

@Wipqozn I didn't actually kill anyone in Detroit on the runthrough where I spent so much time

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1285/…

Mana

coughs sorry, bit of the alien in me coming out

GnomeSlice

>Turn off TV

You Start Smoking.

Trololol.

Mana

Whoops, wrong roo--OH GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING

2

Wipqozn

18:04

@Mana Nor I, actually. Although as can be seen by my murder question, I might do so for giggles in a future play through.

Mana

AHHH

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi I was waiting for you to do that.

Mana

@Wipqozn It's just so massive

Wipqozn

@Mana That's what she said! ahahahahah

Arda Xi

Nothing to see here.

GnomeSlice

18:05

Arda Xi

Who unpinned that? :(

Wipqozn

but yeah, it really is. Happy to say I've posted quite a few questions.

Arda Xi

I just found an exploit, by the way.

I can pin any message.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi Your mother.

Mana

Wipqozn, did you de-age by like ten years in a day?

Wipqozn

18:06

@Mana I don't know. I seem to be hyper today.

Mana

Clearly all this killing in Detroit is bringing out the worst in you

Wipqozn

I blame the hippies.

Arda Xi

@Mana, can you remove this arrow? It's a little weird.

GnomeSlice

HAH.

Arda Xi

It also points to something really weird.

Wipqozn

18:10

I love Corner Gas.

►

GnomeSlice

Does anyone else see the issue here?

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice What did you expect from a Matryoshka doll?

Arda Xi

@GnomeSlice Yes. You are still alive.

Wipqozn

I must temporarily go afk. Try to go on without me.

Arda Xi

In all seriousness, leaves aren't really that combustible, especially if they're fresh.

GnomeSlice

18:13

@ArdaXi How do you hold a lit match in your pocket?

Arda Xi

@GnomeSlice Carefully.

GnomeSlice

This is a webcomic, not an actual game.

Although I wish it were.

Arda Xi

You could make it.

Mana

Arda Xi

IF is really easy to write.

Mana

18:14

The ~~greatest~~ most pointlessly tragic Deus Ex: Human Revolution video you will ever watch.

GnomeSlice

@Mana Based on the top two comments, I believe so.

Arda Xi

@Mana How pointlessly tragic.

GnomeSlice

@Mana Not streaming very well. =[

Powerlord

So, apparently League of Legends is no longer supporting OSX. Hope none of you LoLers plays on a Mac.

Arda Xi

I want to see a playthrough of DXHR with a vending machine as their only weapon.

badp

18:19

@Mana but maaan, you can't like that video. The description mentions lemons.

GnomeSlice

Mana

@GNOMESLICE. STOP

GnomeSlice

@Mana NO.

Mana

I WILL HIT YOU WITH FIVE THOUSAND DEAD TROUTS.

GnomeSlice

> EXAMINE STALAGMITE

It's like an upside down stalactite, but I prefer to think of them as floor stabbies.

@Mana The mailbox was shaped like a trout.

Arda Xi

18:20

hands @Mana nine thousand dead trouts

GnomeSlice

I think I might have raped it.

Mana

Not cool man.

GnomeSlice

38 mins ago, by GnomeSlice

Yeah, I guess I did.

How shameful.

Mana

Okay, time to start up playthrough 3.

> EXAMINE STALAGMANITE

The lesser known little cousin to the stalagmite and stalactite, the stalagmanite is a special type of calcium deposit with the defining characteristic of being humorously phallic in shape.

@GNOMESLICE. STOP

Mana

@ArdaXi Do you know if there are more enemies on Give Me Deus Ex difficulty?

Arda Xi

@Mana I don't think so. I'm playing Tell me a story (What? Don't judge me!) and there's quite a few enemies.

Oh man, this is the best thing I've read in a long time.

Mana

We can tell.

GnomeSlice

> KILL TROLL WITH MATCH

Knowing that trolls are as flammable as a toddler's pajamas, you rub the small flame against the troll's leg. The troll punches you in the face.

Mana

arrrgh

I wish the walkthrough of the lab could be skipped.

Arda Xi

@Mana Have you ever finished the game?

Mana

n-no :(

GnomeSlice

18:28

> INVENTORY

You have no pockets. In fact, you have no pants. You are naked, and I should point out, not particularly attractive.

Mana

I haven't even gotten to the second boss yet

the game froze right as I got into the room

Wipqozn

@Mana I have a save right after the opening mission, and right before it.

that way I never need to watch the cut scene again, and can skip the opening mission if I wish to as well.

Mana

@Wipqozn Oh, good plan

Wipqozn

@Mana I try to do that for most games.

Arda Xi

DELETE FROM `Messages` WHERE `RoomId`=35 AND `UserId`=56 AND CONTAINS(`Message`, "http")

Wipqozn

18:34

you don't need the back ticks around table and column names.

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn Don't need them, but it's good practice to include them.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi Really now? Was unaware. Understandable though.

GnomeSlice

> SON OF A BI_

Arda Xi

I can solve this.

@GnomeSlice Bialystok, Bianca, Bible, Bibles, Biddle, Bierce, Bigfoot, Biggles, Biko, Bilbao, Bilbo, Bill, Billie, Billings, Billy, Bimini, Bing, Bioko, Bird, Birdseye, Birkenstock, Birmingham, Biro, Biscay, Biscayne, Bishkek, Bishop, Bismarck, Bismark, Bisquick, Bissau, Bizet

GnomeSlice

@ArdaXi Heh.

Arda Xi

18:39

Son of a Bismarck.

user30

And in today's question of the day, how did this have no tags?

Mana

@Arda Nothing feels more pathetic than dying by the second boss' counter

Arda Xi

@ThomasMcDonald I'm guessing it had a tag that was deleted after Kevin's edit.

user30

@Arda Oh, that would make sense

user30

another edge case to work around then

badp

18:50

Interestingly it's possible to rollback that change

and bring the question back to taglessness

I thought that would error out

Well, the inline editing interface does freak out

user30

yeah, that should probably roll back to untagged

user30

speaking of which, we have 7 questions

Arda Xi

@ThomasMcDonald Fine according to Jeff.

We have only one Theme Hospital question.

So according to Jeff we are not allowed to make a theme-hospital tag.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn So many memories.

Wipqozn

One of my favorite game series. SNES was easily my favorite console.

So many classics.

Oh my god..

I haven't played Deus Ex Human Revolution in about 2 hours! Maybe longer.

I must correct this injustice.

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn I must incorrect this justice.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi Oh my, quite the rebel.

Oh wow. It has been *four*hours.

Now I remember. I stopped to eat, then got distracted by @GnomeSlice posting videos.

Arda Xi

Time to catch up on my non-Doctor Whovian series.

I have three unwatched Warehouse 13 episodes.

It's very nice that it auto-downloads, but it could do with a warning.

FallenAngelEyes

19:26

@Wipqozn and @sjohnston, I just found out some awesome news about GW2

> Guild membership is account wide, and you can add as many guilds as you like. You will be able to choose, at any time and on any character, which guild chat you are viewing and what guilds you are currently affiliated with.

Wipqozn

That's fairly fantastic.

FallenAngelEyes

It is awesome

and solves so many problems for me

cuz I game with a small group of friends who are on fairly often, but I have several other friends in disparate corners of the internet that I'd also like to hang out with, and this will make that so much easier

user30

@Wipqozn +1 for use of murder tag
