But, I rarely make my browser fill the full width, because it makes multitasking hard

Blem

you only got 1 monitor?

Sterno

Yes

@Sterno Oh, I can see your email.

Well, just finished reading up on the nVidia GTX 680... and I think I want one.. or three :)

@JohnoBoy I'm starting to feel sorry for you.

Well, not really.

user15026

@JohnoBoy laughs

JohnoBoy

Anyone here played Rayman Origins? Really enjoying it. One of the few games that really made me laugh

user15026

@JohnoBoy I haven't, but it is on my list of things to try at some point. What system are you playing it on ?

JohnoBoy

PS3, but any HD version should provide the same experience, it's really a sight to behold

James

10:10 PM

Stop pushing games! Arg, not enough time as is!!! :D

JohnoBoy

I also heard good things about the Vita version

Resorath

Edit is your friend

James

Use edit @JohnoBoy :) (ps: its the up arrow)

Resorath

I tried so many times to like the Vita. I just can't. It is too PSP for me, and I never use my PSP

James

@JohnoBoy Haha, Nice!

JohnoBoy

10:11 PM

@James Down arrow on my side :)

James

@JohnoBoy Weirdo :D

Mr Smooth

Damn I missed it

user15026

@JohnoBoy I am tempted to eventually pick it up on the 3ds but I am scared the graphics will be craptacular

Mr Smooth

what'd it say?

Resorath

My iPhone replaced my DS and PSP in one swoop

James

10:11 PM

@Resorath I really like my Vita.. I am not too sold on the Uncharted game for it, but the rest is quite fun :)

Oh, I do not carry around my Vita with me though like I do my iPhone/Pad..

JohnoBoy

@AshleyNunn I'd avoid it. The console versions have the adavntage of local coop as well which is Chip&Dale-NES-hilarious

user15026

@Resorath I like my DS, I take it everywhere, but I also like my iPhone - it is good for like short bursts, and DS is good for like longer playtime

user15026

@JohnoBoy I generally don't play much console, though. :(

JohnoBoy

Oh god, Chip & Dale for the the NES was a griefer's heaven

I think there's a PC version as well

Resorath

@James oh man uncharted. Thats the first game I played on it. Mistakes.

James

10:14 PM

@Resorath I snagged the demo, and that sniping part is.. just bugging me :)

@Lazers That is a lot of questions

@Resorath Holy @murgatroid99... Do not tempt him!!! He has been spamming for weeks since like ME3 came out.. its nice for him to be a little more somber!

I am trying to see how I can create a leaderboard for people playing pc games. I am kind of lost as far as how to get match results from the games (like counter strike).

@James OK that's weird. Now I'm getting pinged for things completely unrelated to me

Sterno

@agent86 I just saw your Chatterbox user script. Nice!

James

@murgatroid99 LOL, sorry Didnt mean to put the @ in there... hands typed it by .. well not accident but .. sense memory? :D

Argh, I hate you JPA! Where's @spugsley when I need a baby to punch?

James

@TimStone Do we even want that one explained?

Tim Stone

It's JPA, so no.

David B

Is someone talking about star visibility? I can only see 2

Resorath

@DavidB I see 8 on a regular day

James

10:21 PM

@DavidB I can see 9 right now and my browser is not full height

Almost all of them this morning though were stuck stars.

murgatroid99

@James I see 6, or 4 if I expand the user list

David B

IE9, 1440x900, 125% zoom

murgatroid99

Wow, we have 45 people in this chat

Fabian

I see 10, barely, but I'm also in 4 other chat rooms which takes up quite a bit of space

James

@DavidB Zoom is evil

David B

10:24 PM

@James even with 100% zoom, I see 6.

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn level 5 in dragonvale already?

David B

There's no way to scroll it, or hide the userlist/channel information

user15026

@BenBrocka Yeah :D

Sterno

@DavidB Window width has a big impact, since starred messages tend to wrap

James

If someone wants to star this line and then we put a few more stars on it then we could make it push some stars off from the list and get it down by one or two more. I am not sure that this really contributes that much to the discussion on hand however, though it is slightly related. I do not know, maybe I will just leave it up to all of you!! Muwahahahaha.

Ben Brocka

10:25 PM

@AshleyNunn sweet, got fire dragons yet?

Sterno

@DavidB This script will let you hide the user list and room info... except I don't know how you'd use it with IE9

user15026

@BenBrocka yup! One.

David B

HAX!

Wipqozn

@James Push what off the list?

Ben Brocka

I added you to friends btw, you can visit my (rather utilitarian) park if you wan t from the friends meny

user15026

10:25 PM

@BenBrocka Cool!

James

@Wipqozn That one -=>

... DragonVale?? Is that a game that is going to suck up more time?

Ben Brocka

yes

but its awesome

James

LOL, Whoever starred it.. It replaced one of the already 2 liners for me :D

OrigamiRobot

@RonanForman We only call it secret because we haven't thought of a better name for it.

James

@BenBrocka What makes it awesome?

user15026

10:27 PM

@James Dragons.

Ben Brocka

it

s like a themepark where you raise and breed tons of types of dragons

James

@AshleyNunn Hmm, I do suppose they have a certain level of awesome of their own.. but... :)

@BenBrocka And then do what with them?

user15026

@James Bask in their awesomeness

Ben Brocka

James

@AshleyNunn That almost sounds very very wrong :)

real hipsters use Netscape. The web is just better in lo-fi

Resorath

@BenBrocka Mosiac imo

James

@BenBrocka did you get that link the other day that turns almost any website into a geocities website?

Resorath

10:40 PM

@Wipqozn I was making joke. Although from time to time I go back to their latest version and try to like it. But honestly, no adblock support is hard to deal with

agent86

@Resorath it could also be for you, if you sometimes use chrome or firefox, it's for everybody!

Ben Brocka

@James dunno, google geocitiesizer or something

Wipqozn

@Resorath Okay. I was going to accuse you of being one of those people that ruin the internet.

I do like how chrome updates behind your back

James

@Resorath Makes me consider a chromebook not too bad of a thing to get.. though I am sure I would only use it for Realm of the Mad God :)

Resorath

@James Did they actually make those things? I didn't think it got off the ground. The ChromeOS right?

James

@Resorath amazon.com/Samsung-Series-Wi-Fi-12-1-Inch-Chromebook/dp/…

They came out over the summer

Resorath

@James Damn $350. Whats the advantage of that over Windows 7 Starter edition again?

James

@Resorath Dunno.. I use either a full blown laptop or an iPad. the chromebook has just been a 'neat toy' consideration :)

Resorath

@James Ah. I actually never understood where the iPad fits in either honestly.

Now the Raspberry Pi is something I can get onboard with!

When is the next batch going to be shipped? 2018?

Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is a single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The Foundation's goal is to offer two versions, priced at US$25 and $35 (plus local taxes). The Foundation started accepting orders for the higher priced model on 29 February 2012. The Raspberry Pi is intended to stimulate the teaching of basic computer science in schools. The design is based on a Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip (SoC), which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and 256 Megabytes of RAM. The design does not include a built-in hard disk or soli...

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn yeah, ken's objectively broken in the game. I was just hoping for a good explaination of why

badp

@BenBrocka trademark of Barbie?

James

@BenBrocka Looked like a good explanation.. his drop pattern is the most awful with out the draw backs the other two who share it have.

Q: Looking for an old PC game!

So i'm looking for an old Pc game i played with in the 90's no real idea when... sorry it was a demo also so i don't even know if it made a released product or not. What i remember: it is an RPG, with a 5-6 member team it is in medieval setting with swords and magic! The map was vast and limited ...

badp

okay, Waveform is surprisingly hard

(re: @GnomeSlice)

Ben Brocka

@Brant apparently. It was surprisingly short-lived

badp

basically it's the hacking game of Hydrophobia, made in a game of its own.

Ben Brocka

I liked hydrophobia...don't remember the hacking

It looks like it's got potential but my mind would need quite some effort to really grok it

I believe the next round is this weekend? Still poking around.

Awesome, the second search result for "ggclassic schedule" was this question. WE'RE MAKING THE INTERNET BETTER.

does Valve have a sign-up thing for their betas (CS:GO or DOTA)? or do they just randomly give out keys to steam users? (too trivial to ask as a question on the site)

Resorath

@Brant I'm going to be so mad when that gets more views than me and wins the contest

Brant

I think there's a beta signup form somewhere, isn't there?

Ah, here's the tournament schedule: ggchronicle.com/…

Mark your calendars for next weekend (and stock up on liquor), because the tournament resumes!

@TZHX Looks like the Dota 2 signup form is here: dota2.com/survey/experience

Not sure about CS:GO.

@Brant Hey, that might give me a chance to get a picture of the new questions page with zero questions

TZHX

@Brant thanks man. I was looking at the dota site and couldn't find a link on it.

11:37 PM

Apparently for CS:GO you just have to click on a link and let Steam submit your hardware info: blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/facts

@TZHX It would probably be closed anyways.

Nah, I just signed up for CS:GO

Not that I'd ever play it. I'm a Tribes kinda guy. Looking down upon CS players is in our blood.
