8:00 PM
not sure what would get me in a mass of trouble... besides hanging out in here during work hours o.O
 
@FallenAngelEyes Simple. Those are awesome things. People like people who like awesome things.
 
@OrigamiRobot Haha
 
Buffalo buffalo, Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo
 
Today's been a fun day.
I ate too much bacon this morning and puked. Well, half of that statement is true, the other half is a bald-faced lie.
 
@OrigamiRobot yay for grammatically correct yet weird looking sentences
 
8:05 PM
@Powerlord Obviously the part about too much bacon. There is no such thing.
 
@OrigamiRobot If it is it, it is it, if it is, it is it, it is!
 
I wonder if he's going to use the Kraid glitch...
...not even. Wow.
 
@OrigamiRobot Also whenever this sentence comes up, I get a case of semantic satiation and totally lose the word "buffalo"
 
@FallenAngelEyes Is that what it's called when a word seems to lose all meaning in your mind?
 
...I do not understand this kill.
 
8:06 PM
@Tristan Yep
 
I hate that.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Semantic satiation might be the best thing I've ever read.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Holy crap there's a term for that!?
 
Semantic satiation (also semantic saturation) is a psychological phenomenon in which repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose meaning for the listener, who can only process the speech as repeated meaningless sounds. The phrase "semantic satiation" was coined by Leon Jakobovits James in his doctoral dissertation at McGill University, Montreal, Canada awarded in 1962. Prior to that, the expression "verbal satiation" had been used along with terms that express the idea of mental fatigue. The dissertation listed many of the names others had used for the phenomenon: "Many other ...
@StrixVaria There is!
 
I have to read that entire article now.
Oh it's not very long :(
 
8:08 PM
All I know is I had a slight headache when I left for work this morning. 30 minutes later, I had a bad headache and was starting to feel ill. 30 minutes after that, I was puking outside the AT&T building as I walked back to my car.

@Powerlord Eugh, hope you feel better soon.
 
@FallenAngelEyes You are quickly becoming my favorite person
 
@OrigamiRobot lmao, thanks, I think XD
 
careful... she collects people o.O
 
@Pyrodante I think I am far enough away
 
8:11 PM
@Pyrodante Haha, my collection is closed for the moment, so he's safe!
 
Don't make it an achievement :D
 
@OrigamiRobot Well, one of my b/f's lives in Toronto!
 
@Powerlord The fact that the lyrics don't really fit the rythm sets my OCD off...
 
@Powerlord :(
 
@Powerlord I just noticed that video has twice as many likes as views
 
8:12 PM
@Tristan Don't you mean CDO?
 
I feel so knowledgeable having read about semantic satiation a long time ago on English.SE.
 
@Pyrodante Nosir.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I'm much farther south. You don't want to shop here.
 
@murgatroid99 Where'd your poor pony's pupils go?
 
8:14 PM
@murgatroid99 That's what happens when they're kinda new, the updating gets borked for a while.
@FallenAngelEyes To your avatar?
 
@FallenAngelEyes It's like the avatar state
 
@murgatroid99 Ooh, I love that show.
 
@Tristan I do too
 
@Ullallulloo Hey, I only have one pupil!
@murgatroid99 Oooh I see. I've never seen that show.
 
@FallenAngelEyes you should!
 
8:16 PM
@FallenAngelEyes You should. It's amazing
 
Scifi.SE is doing Avatar as topic of the week soon
 
I have too many tv shows that people tell me watch! Agh!
 
@FallenAngelEyes I'm jumping on the bandwagon! You should watch the show!
 
and later this year the new series starts
 
@murgatroid99 you mean Gravatar State?
 
8:17 PM
@OrigamiRobot Yes, I did think it would be amusing to have and Avatar state Gravatar
 
I don't watch tv much at all. The only thing I've watched in the last year is the first season of The Walking Dead, the original (UK) version of Misfits, half of the original (again UK) version of Being Human, and kept up on The Big Bang Theory.
 
@FallenAngelEyes also there is a trade paperback that came out recently
 
@FallenAngelEyes The UK version of Being Human is vastly superior to the US version.
And I've heard good things about Misfits.
 
@Tristan I've never seen the US version at all. I heard it wasn't too bad though.
@Tristan It's a very fun show. I think it strikes a good mix of comedy and drama.
 
@FallenAngelEyes It's not, but I still think the UK version is better.
 
8:20 PM
I need to watch the UK Misfits
and also Sherlock
 
@Tristan Also Mitchell is hot <_<
 
>.>
 
we're only halfway through Series 2 of Being Human though, need to finish it
 
Hey! Spiral Knights works now!
 
Currently working on Dr Who
 
8:21 PM
@FallenAngelEyes that's where I am, too! Weird.
 
but Being Human is on my list
 
@Tristan haha
@Pyrodante I really like it, great characterization
Also, re: Misfits, the music for that show is great
Both the orchestration and the songs they choose
 
@John It didn't before?
 
Falling Skies is a decent show, too.
 
I've not heard of that one
 
8:23 PM
@Powerlord Not an hour ago.
 
I am really enjoying Dr Who
 
my friend tells me American Horror Story or whatever it's called is good too
 
@FallenAngelEyes A buddy of mine worked on American Horror Story. He loved it.
 
(Whoa, this is giving me Deja Vu)
 
@Tristan Oh neat
 
8:24 PM
(and I don't mean the strip club in the city I live in)
 
@FallenAngelEyes my brother in law insists on it's being good, but he's not a quality source of recommendations
 
@Powerlord Where are you from? >.>
 
has anybody here actually watched American Horror Story?
 
@IanPugsley I've heard good things. And the friend of mine who was working the set for it has pretty good judgement.
 
@IanPugsley Haha, well, taste is always subjective!
 
8:25 PM
@Tristan Lansing, MI
Well, technically I live outside it, but...
 
@Powerlord Oh. We have Deja Vu here, too.. <.< lol
 
@Tristan maybe it's a strip club franchise!
 
@FallenAngelEyes his tastes and mine...well, the sliver in our venn diagram would not be very large
 
@IanPugsley theres a joke in there
 
@IanPugsley Well, I'm of the mind that there's 2 ways to enjoy stuff, objectively and subjectively. Even when things are of objectively bad quality, you may still enjoy them subjectively, and that may even feed into why you like it (the whole so bad it's good thing).
 
8:28 PM
on the subject of strip clubs, there used to be one in Charlotte called Twin Peaks, lol
 
@IanPugsley ...lol
 
@FallenAngelEyes a valid point (I'm not sure I agree with the term 'objectively bad' but I agree with the sentiment, absolutely), but he's not the type to enjoy something subjectively that is objectively bad (i.e. he likes bad things and genuinely thinks they are good)
 
@IanPugsley By "objectively bad" I mean by looking at stuff like, say, pacing, characterization, narrative, etc. and holding it to a generally acceptable standard of quality. Though that in itself can still be subjective because we're humans and dammit if we're not finicky.
 
@FallenAngelEyes yeah, good and bad in terms of quality of production, writing, acting, etc. - a different scale than personal preference for the work
 
@IanPugsley Aye. For example, I have a weakness for stupid stoner flicks (Dude Where's My Car, Harold & Kumar, anything by Kevin Smith), and I have no idea why! I just think they're hilarious, even though they're pretty damn shallow.
 
8:36 PM
@FallenAngelEyes I love Kevin Smith movies so much, and spugsley's just like "eh"
it also took me like six years to convince her to watch Super Troopers
 
@IanPugsley I love them too! My b/f who lives in Toronto works at a restaurant and Kevin Smith came in to eat there. He got him to sign an apron for me and gave it to me for Christmas! :D
 
@FallenAngelEyes lucky
 
@IanPugsley I've still never seen that in its entirety. I've always caught it on tv at the exact same place like... half a dozen times.
 
the only things I have signed from anybody are three old Dark Rituals signed by the artist and the first issue of Haunt (that I bought signed :( )
 
@IanPugsley I fangirl squeed, I admit it
 
8:38 PM
@FallenAngelEyes oh you need to, great movie
if I ever got the opportunity to meet Robert Kirkman I might shit myself from having to carry everything he's ever written to get it signed
 
@IanPugsley and Skullkickers
 
(except Battle Pope, I haven't read Battle Pope)
 
I have those 2 cards I told you about, an APC ticket signed by Billy Howerdel, and a piece of paper signed by Lewis Black and Dave Attell. I think that's all.
 
@OrigamiRobot ohhhh yeeeeah
 
@IanPugsley Hahaha. I've only read Walking Dead.
 
8:39 PM
@FallenAngelEyes Lewis Black went to my high school!
 
I would've had a program signed by an music group I went to see this summer, but my stuff got stolen
 
@OrigamiRobot oh yeah also the first few B covers of Artifacts signed by the cover artist
 
I've met and hung out with Chris Metzin and CCP Soundwave...
 
@FallenAngelEyes what group?
 
@IanPugsley Haha awesome! I saw him with Dave Attell and Mitch Hedberg (RIP)
@IanPugsley Angelspit
 
8:40 PM
and told Paul of Paul and storm to "do a barrel roll"

Q: 270 vs 900 wheel

drozzyWhat is the advantage of having 900 over 270 steering wheel? Nearly every video I watch people use only about 180 degrees for steering. Currently have xbox 360 wireless, and on some shart u-turns in forza 3 it is practically impossible to turn the car around at slow speed. Thinking of upgrading ...

 
@FallenAngelEyes I would have loved to see Mitch (a)live
@FallenAngelEyes no idear (Wikipedia says they're a "cyberpunk" band, lol)
 
@IanPugsley He unfortunately left early, before the autograph stuff :( I was very sad about that, then sadder later after he died.
@IanPugsley Haha yeah, they're kind of industrial electronica, a little weird, but they were so nice to meet
 
@FallenAngelEyes he's still easily one of my two favorite comedians of all time (the other being Louis CK)
 
Just very nice down to earth people
@IanPugsley We bought his $5 special thing but haven't gotten a chance to sit down and watch it yet
 
8:42 PM
@FallenAngelEyes that's always nice (I was hoping they were more punk than industrial, but I was guessing I'd be wrong based on the visuals)
@FallenAngelEyes it was good (I watched it with some friend on vacation but @OrigamiRobot and @spugsley still need to watch it)
 
A bunch of their stuff is on Spotify, if you have that, but yeah, more industrial re: sound, but a bit punk-esque re:lyrics
@IanPugsley I sometimes end up trapped in youtube just watching clips from random showings of his
Have you seen his tv show? I've heard it's pretty good, but I haven't seen it
 
oh yeah, we've watched his TV show from the beginning
it's so incredibly surreal and funny - it's definitely fiction but at the same time you know some of it had to have happened
it's so sad to me that it took things getting really shitty for him before he could really succeed, but I'm so glad it got him his show and such
 
Did you read his AMA on reddit?
It was really good
 
yeah, crazy good
haha I can't remember the line that I lost it on, but he said something hilarious and gross and then said "what's wrong with me"
I just lost it
 
I lost the game
 
8:49 PM
@Pyrodante the last time I posted a response to the loss of the game it got flagged (a gif of someone saying "eff you" from Session 9)
so... :(
 
@Pyrodante I just don't play the game anymore, so I don't lose!
 
@Pyrodante his ears are gross, that makes me sadder
 
@OrigamiRobot it is so hard not to cuss at you right now
 
8:51 PM
so you play that, both players instantly loose the game and you have a 39/39 creature... good play
 
@IanPugsley it wouldn't be the first time
 
@OrigamiRobot see my post above re: gifs
 
there is no cursing here?
 
@Pyrodante it's a lot looser in here than other places
I was surprised it got flagged, and I didn't get suspended or anything
unless you're being intentionally abusive/offensive I wouldn't worry too much about it
 
I swear all the time in the Android chat room... but then I am a mod there :D
 
8:54 PM
@Pyrodante lol
 
@IanPugsley I was looking at your Scifi profile and I can't bring myself to upvote any of your stuff and ruin your perfect rep
 
@Pyrodante It's not completely prohibited but it's preferable to some in here that it isn't completely unleashed
 
Good to know
 
@FallenAngelEyes I'm pretending that's the reason I don't get any upvotes :P
 
Awgh, I have too many things on my head that are conflicting
Ditching headphones for airplane earphones should fix that...
 
8:58 PM
@GraceNote "This shirt is uncomfortable. Maybe if I set it on fire..."
 
@IanPugsley Hah, nice.
 
in my mind apparently the simplest downgrade to a shirt is a shirt on fire
 
@IanPugsley Well, you wouldn't have to worry about spilling anything on it! Stains burn! :D
 
@FallenAngelEyes what if it was moonshine, or acid, or acid moonshine? :P
 
@IanPugsley If you're spilling acid moonshine on yourself, I think you have bigger problems to worry about then
 
9:04 PM
Sounds like how dubstep was invented
 
@FallenAngelEyes here I was thinking a shirt on fire ranked pretty high up there on the list of potentional problems
@Pyrodante everybody knows dubstep was invented by time-traveling flatulent robots
 
@IanPugsley I watched FreddieW's latest video today so that's all I can picture when you mention a shirt on fire.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I haven't seen it, but now I want to!
 
@IanPugsley It made me giggle
 
time-traveling flatulent robots on acidic moonshine (I do believe it was Bender)
 
9:09 PM
and now I'm gonna go play more Mass Effect, later all!
 
@Pyrodante Bender doesn't wear shirts though
@FallenAngelEyes cya
 
I left the shirt out of it...
 
I feel like he's worn a shirt before actually
a sweater, maybe?
 
Bender in a shirt:
 
@Tristan all 8 episodes of it?
 
@Wipqozn Thirteen!
 
@Tristan let's compromise with 11.
 
@Wipqozn why are you so hurtful
you can't talk about how many episodes of Firefly there are, it only hurts feelings
 
Oh please.
 
@Tristan 14?
 
9:14 PM
You should have known better than to have hope a quality show would not be cancelled by Fox.
 
@Wipqozn no man, this was way back when the only previous evidence was Buffy
pre-Arrested Development (and whatever less strong evidence there is)
and I'm not even right - Buffy was WB, then UPN...I can't think of anything well known for being good and getting cancelled by Fox pre-Firefly
 
9:31 PM
Because firefly is set in the future, what about firefly?
 
I just had to scroll up to see if there was a bender head attached to that shirt.
It was positioned perfectly.
 
Technically, Firefly is 14 episodes and a Feature Film
 
9:46 PM
@Powerlord why do people forget the 14th?
wasn't it not broadcast or something?
 
Wouldn't this be considered a shopping rec?

Currently have xbox 360 wireless, and on some short u-turns in forza 3 it is practically impossible to turn the car around at slow speed. I'm thinking of upgrad...

 
@IanPugsley I'm not sure
Perhaps the pilot was never aired?
 
@Powerlord oh yeah, could be that
 
@Powerlord It was aired. But there are technically only thirteen episodes, as the pilot episode was one 2 hour episode that Fox broke down into two separate episodes.
 
Guys, if you're not too busy
 
9:49 PM
@Tristan Except it wasn't, the second episode is "The Train Job" which was developed after the pilot.
 
@Powerlord Yeah, but Fox aired "Serenity" as the 11th episode in the series.
 
the pilot was the last episode aired
 
The episodes (chronologically) were:
1. Serenity (pilot)
2. The Train Job
3. Bushwacked
4. Shindig
5. Safe
6. Our Mrs. Reynolds
7. Jaynestown
8. Out of Gas
9. Ariel
10. War Stories
11. Trash
12. The Message
13. Heart of Gold
14. Objects in Space
 
And the airing order is: The Train Job, Bushwacked, Our Mrs. Reynolds, Jaynestown, Out of Gas, Shindig, Safe, Ariel, War Stories, Objects in Space, Serenity, Trash, The Message, and Heart of Gold.
 
@agent86 that is cool
 
@Powerlord Why they would air the pilot episode three months after the 'first' episode is beyond me...
 
@Tristan This is Fox.
 
Also, I think Heart of Gold was never aired on Fox. I don't think it got aired until SyFy started running the series.
Oh, yep. "SCI FI Channel will air reruns of Fox's canceled SF series Firefly, including three episodes that never aired on Fox"
 
user15026
10:00 PM
@agent86 I like the "experiment" they did with it.
 
@agent86 I stopped skimming when I saw this: America’s Army, developed by America’s actual army, is the most popular war game ever
 
They said it was because the train job was more "cowboy" and conveyed the image they wanted of the series. This was NOT the choice of the people making the show
 
@AshleyNunn indeed. making liquor stronger is clearly the highest form of any technology :)
 
Man, my goatee is coming in nicely. =3
 
Is really pissing me off. The game is incredibly difficult to play.
=[
 
10:03 PM
Sounds like my kind of game
 
@GraceNote I thought so too, but the frustration is in the controls.
Not very much is explained to you, either.
 
@GnomeSlice So I've heard
 
what might happen if you could actually find a fire flower...
 
I really wish they'd fix the flash player issue with Chrome. =(
 
10:08 PM
@Tristan What flash player issue?
 
This is actually very annoying. As far as I can tell, you can't unlock new levels in Dustforce after a certain point unless you get a perfect score on previous levels, which supposedly earns you a key.
@murgatroid99 Youtube makes Chrome crash some times.
 
@murgatroid99 ^this
 
@GnomeSlice Oh right, that. It hasn't happened to me for a while, so I assumed they fixed it
 
@GnomeSlice "some" times? I haven't had a day go by that it doesn't crash.
 
@GraceNote It works mostly.
 
10:09 PM
@murgatroid99 Nine times out of ten, when I try and close a tab that had a video playing, my Chrome crashes.
 
@Tristan Close? For me, it's on opening...
 
@GnomeSlice "mostly"? I haven't had a day go by that it doesn't crash.
 
user15026
@agent86 That video is awesome. All I could think, though was that that dude should really stop, drop, and roll XD
 
Often, when I open a new youtube tab, my browser crashes.
 
user15026
10:10 PM
@GnomeSlice I have never had that issue.
 
@GnomeSlice "Often"? I haven't had a day go by that it doesn't crash.
 
Why did that CDO post get three stars? It's just a foolish copy with a cat in it.
@GraceNote Just forget it.
 
@AshleyNunn Freddie Wong & co do some awesome videos. Almost everything they do is worth watching :)
 
@GnomeSlice It's because of the cat.
 
Flash currently leaks memory like liquid fire from regexp-based HTML parsing
 
10:11 PM
@agent86 Their Time Crisis parody made me sad.
 
@GnomeSlice "Forget it"? I've repeated the statement three times mostly because I wanted an excuse to say it a third time.
 
Ah, Chrome just crashed, trying to open that youtube link.
 
user15026
@agent86 I love their Katamari video. :D
 
@agent86 You've heard of CorridorDigital, I presume?
 
@Tristan :(
@AshleyNunn :)
 
user15026
10:14 PM
The worst part about baking a cake for an event is that now my house smells like chocolate cake and there is a cake in my house that I cannot eat until tomorrow. :(
 
@GnomeSlice can't say that I have.
 
@AshleyNunn The obvious solution is to bake two.
@agent86 w...what.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Fair point. XD
 
@AshleyNunn I find your lack of edible cake disturbing
 
user15026
@agent86 Tomorrow there will be edible cake! Chocolate! With pink roses on it!
 
10:16 PM
Corridor Digital has done tons of stuff with freddiew
 
@GnomeSlice EpicMealTime has done some stuff, too.
 
Not the same thing. At all.
 
It's freddiew. Seems like the same thing...
 
It's Corridor Digital.
freddiew and Corridor Digital do motion graphics.
Epic Meal Time doesn't...
 
I was just saying the similarities are there, as they both contain freddiew. lol
 
10:20 PM
@GnomeSlice very cool. I want noclipmode now :) I recognized freddiew at the end because of his screaming, heh
 
Is another good one.
They've done some TF2 stuff too.
 
Just talked my co-guild-leader into joining SE! \o/
 
So @Wipqozn be nice.
 
I really want the music from this.
 
10:23 PM
@John Now s/he needs to post a question or answer that gets enough rep to join Chat! lol
 
@Tristan Already told her that. :D
 
@GnomeSlice so go precision platformers
 
@FallenAngelEyes I love precision platformers.
 
just make associate 2 accounts on SE thats 100 rep right there
 
I just find the controls of Dustforce really strange/difficult.
 
10:26 PM
It looks like a neat game, but I just don't have the skill and time to play precision platformers and enjoy them
 
@FallenAngelEyes N+ and Super Meat Boy are two of my favourite games.
I feel like Dustforce is more difficult than it should be.
 
Super Meat Boy is the hardest game ever made, in my opinion.
 
@Tristan Not even close...
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I played a lot of N back when it first came out. I still haven't redownloaded any of the N+ versions though.
 
@Tristan Have you ever played 'N' or 'N+'?
 
10:27 PM
Making a game that's hard is easy... making a game thats hard, doable, and enjoyable is tricky
 
@Tristan points to I Wanna Be The Guy
 
@GnomeSlice Nope. I've played N+...
 
@FallenAngelEyes It's not free, unfortunately.
 
Oh.
I didn't see the edit before hitting enter. >.>
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, hence why I haven't reacquired it :/
I played through a lot of the first version, so I dunno if I wanna start over :(
 
10:28 PM
I've had a lot of issues with N+ not saving my progress.
@FallenAngelEyes Completely different levels.
It's not a remake. It's an entirely new game.
 
Ah, huh
 
With a great soundtrack.
 
I have no idea which platform to get it on either
 
I didn't even get that far into N+, but whenever I go back to it, I have to start from the same point again. =[. For whatever reason, it stopped saving my progress.
I've only done the first world of Super Meat Boy, but I did enjoy the original flash game. 100%'d it.
 
I didn't know it was an entire revamp. I played the original back when I was on dialup and put a lot of hours in.
 
10:30 PM
@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, no, it's a completely new game. It's got co-op levels too.
It's really good, you should check it out.
 
Hmm, interesting. How much does it run for? I can't remember.
 
@FallenAngelEyes The DS game is also a completely different game.
Not sure about the PSP one.
 
Wait, N+ on DS is different from N+ on XBLA then?
 
@FallenAngelEyes Well, duh.
The 360 is much more powerful.
The DS one was alright, had some strange behavioural things with the bouncy blocks.
 
10:34 PM
they have different levels and stuff then?
 
@FallenAngelEyes Completely.
 
Well damn
 
The DS one is less user-friendly. It's more like the original, with worse physics.
 
It's still good though.
 
10:35 PM
Yeah, my game backlog is too large to buy the same game twice methinks
(I know the levels are different, but re: gameplay and stuff)
 
Well, if you're only going to get one, get the xbox one.
But they're really not the same game.
 
user15026
etsy.com/listing/88945481/… I want these. I don't know where I would use them but I want them
 
The xbox one is much, much more polished, has more levels, better soundtrack, more features.
Better graphics, physics.
@AshleyNunn That's awesome.
Put them on your front door.
 
wait what game are we talking about?
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice That would totally work. And be super awesome.
 
10:38 PM
@John of what?
 
@Pyrodante One has to have >200 for that to work.
@Wipqozn Spiral Knights. You should play it with us.
 
@Pyrodante N+
 
hmm never heard of it
 
@Pyrodante metanetsoftware.com Check out the original, it's free.
 
I just created a brand new superflat creative Minecraft world and spawned at -1900, -500
Why on earth wouldn't I just spawn at 0, 0?
 
10:46 PM
@StrixVaria Run to 0, 0, place a bed.
 
That's what's happening now, but that shouldn't be required.
 
Also, single player, or server?
 
single player
but i am running a server
I'd rather it not get hammered with traffic or have people come to rely on it, though, since it's just on my personal desktop.
 
Gotcha.
 
Not to say you can't join it if you want (not that it's anything special), but that I just don't want my IP publicly advertised.
 
10:49 PM
Oil Rush hotfixes.
I can't wait until this is finished downloading...
 
Oh whoops, I mistook tagline for tags on our G+ page, so the tagline is really wierd.
 
@John No interest in the game.
 
@Wipqozn Do you mind changing it?
 
@RonanForman changing what?
 
The tagline.
 
10:58 PM
@RonanForman What is it now?
 
@Wipqozn A pity. You're missing out.
 
Just some random search terns.
 
I can do it.
Just tell me what you want it to be.
