@pixel Are you talking about family or work?

pixel

not even my family

I could tolerate my family

Powerlord

Did you end up working on Christmas?

pixel

no

I've been with my boyfriend's family for christmas

thinking it would be nice and chilled out

Powerlord

Oh, so kinda/sorta in-laws.

pixel

I still regret not torching their house on the way out

I will sleep it off though

@Powerlord I hope I am never associated with them in this way

Powerlord

22:03

You're supposed to hate your in-laws! ;)

Anyway, this made me lol: "Amateur opinions are generally completely worthless." "I agree, your opinion is truly worthless, you should quit while you're ahead."

Q: What does the Sixth Sense multiplayer skill do?

According to its description, the Sixth Sense skill Lets you know when you’ve wandered into an enemy's line of sight. How exactly does it notify me? I added this skill to some of my loadouts, and I didn't notice anything special when opponents got me from behind, except for a rapid decline ...

@StrixVaria I don't know if you care, but the new MtG spoilers are starting

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Ooh.

OrigamiRobot

StrixVaria

I've been reading a lot of MaRo's archives over the past few weeks.

I love RW. It's one of my favorite color combinations.

That's a pretty interesting mechanic.

OrigamiRobot

Aggro with card draw? I am liking Simic so far.

StrixVaria

GU is a very, very strange pairing.

I'm not too excited about that card in particular.

It costs 4 but you want to get it out before you start dropping too much other stuff.

When you first play it, it's 4 for a 1/1 with no immediate abilities.

OrigamiRobot

22:24

Nothing has made me change my mind about what prerelease guild I'm picking yet.

StrixVaria

How do you "pick" a guild?

John

@MarcoCeppi @RonanForman I was wondering if either of you had a problem with my Spiral Knights guild using the Arqade Mumble server on occasion? I figured it couldn't hurt, and might introduce some people to Arqade.

StrixVaria

When you go to the prerelease, you get random cards. You should make the best deck you can with those cards.

Right?

John

That goes for anyone else, too, but I figured Marco and Ronan are kinda in charge of it.

MBraedley

Mmm, food

John

22:25

I don't expect it to ever reach more than 10 people on the server at once.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria It's a bit different for this block.

John

@MBraedley YAY FOOD. noms it

ebay.com/itm/…?

fredley

@pixel You were in such high spirits on xmas day, what happened?

pixel

@fredley I was high on spirits on christmas day

Ben Brocka

22:27

how does the mumble thing work anyway?

pixel

and then they happened.

fredley

@pixel Ha, fair enough

@pixel tbh, if I'd spent xmas at my gfs it would have been tough

pixel

I am just happy to be out of there.

fredley

@pixel I'm looking forward to not being with rents

Had enough now

Want to be out

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka What do you mean?

SaintWacko

22:31

@pixel So what do you think of CNC Generals?

pixel

@SaintWacko I thought red alert 2 was better

Ronan Forman

@John I don't have a problem, I'll set you a room up if you like.

SaintWacko

@pixel I think the story is better in RA2, but I like the gameplay better in Generals

With Zero Hour, at least. I've never actually played just Generals

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot It's apparently peer to server? So is it just like a "room" where everyone on the server can talk to anyone else in it

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka There are rooms within the server.

Ben Brocka

22:42

Ah

LessPop_MoreFizz

Ben Brocka

Remind me to never ask what you're playing, @LessPop_MoreFizz

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka It's Barkley: Shut Up and Jam Gaiden

Fluttershy

Yayy! Amazon is fixing their mistake! =D

LessPop_MoreFizz

The Cyberdwarf with B-Ball skin is going to go on a date!

Note: Offering 'free mammograms' is not a successful dating strategy.

Ben Brocka

22:52

Well there go my weekend plans

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka Gonna start playing Barkley?

Oh hey... I have a two day work week followed by a weekend of heavy drinking, followed by a three day work week. <_< My next paycheck is gonna suck.

StrixVaria

ARE YOU KIDDING

DID SOMEONE SERIOUSLY FLAG THAT

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria ?

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Someone flagged this.

OrigamiRobot

MAGIC IS OFFENSIVE OMGWTFBBQ

Ben Brocka

22:54

You can see her collarbone, clearly offensive to the man in the street

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria Why am I not seeing a chat flag? O_o

OrigamiRobot

Q: So I heard you like Magic cards

After the people over at Board & Card Games made a promotional Magic card, I thought it would be fun to card-ify some of the people here. They were apparently very popular (mostly) and people were asking for more. So here are some of the cards I made. If you want to make your own, just dow...

discussion community-event

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy Because it was rejected by sane people.

OrigamiRobot

Oh, wait... no, we like Magic

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria Shouldn't I have seen it when it first appeared?

Ben Brocka

22:55

Cause I marked it invalid

Alenanno

Everyone: Please reserve flagging for serious issues. Flagging in chat summons all moderators.

Ben Brocka

It takes a second for it to appear

GnomeSlice

Wait, was I flagged

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy I saw it in the other room I was in and thought, "Oh no, Bridge. What did @GnomeSlice do now?"

@GnomeSlice No, @OrigamiRobot was.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria PHEW

That was a close one.

Wait, for what

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot Someone flagged this.

Damn, man... Scroll up from time to time.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Alenanno It doesn't just summon all mods, it summons all 10k's.

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice This, apparently.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Alenanno And the Bridge is both the first, and last place that needs a reminder regarding frivolous flags.

We... have a bit of a history with them.

Fluttershy

@Ullallulloo flags flags flags

Alenanno

@LessPop_MoreFizz All the more reasons to avoid flagging things that don't deserve flagging.

Ben Brocka

22:57

The Bridge: your first and last line of offense

2

GnomeSlice

@Ullallulloo Whoa, what the hell.

It's a naked chick on a Magic Card...

Nice man.

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice In what universe is that woman naked? O_o

Alenanno

@GnomeSlice Naked?

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy I think she's clothed the same way Bayonetta is clothed...

Unless she's wearing a tree, which is okay I guess.

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy So he thinks that's naked but then posts stuff way worse than that and says "She's clearly wearing clothes."

GnomeSlice

22:58

Still, lol.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice has apparently trained his brain to not see clothes.

9

GnomeSlice

Oh she has a belt too.

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria Yeah... I don't even...

Alenanno

@OrigamiRobot lol

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Not any more...

Well, whatever. I don't really care.

As long as I'm not flagged.

Ullallulloo

22:59

@GnomeSlice She's wearing metallic armor in the shape of feathers over almost her entire torso.

GnomeSlice

@Ullallulloo Looks to me like it's part of her skin, there's no straps.

Why are we arguing about this shit anyway.

Also, does anyone with a gamepad want a free copy of Skydrift + DLC?

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice Have you never heard of strapless clothing? <_<

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy Clothing, yes. Armor, no.

Fluttershy

My t-shirt doesn't have straps. Does that mean I am naked?

GnomeSlice

Bitch!

@Fluttershy Is it armor?

OrigamiRobot

23:01

@GnomeSlice Yes

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Oh, okay.

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice It armors my supple flesh from the cold. So yes.

GnomeSlice

Why are you guys arguing with me about this, I didn't even flag it.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice ALSO THERE ARE STRAPS YOU ARE BLIND

GnomeSlice

HEY GUYS, Natural Selection 2 is on sale on Steam.

Fluttershy

23:02

@GnomeSlice It is very important that you understand the difference between "clothed" and "naked". Not knowing this difference could land you in a lot of trouble some day.

pixel

@GnomeSlice half of Steam is on sale on Steam...

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot There's a shoulder on one side.

Fluttershy

@pixel WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?

GnomeSlice

Which looks like flesh.

This is stupid!

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice Because arguing is what the Bridge does best... or worst....WHATEVER

GnomeSlice

23:03

@OrigamiRobot SHE'S NAKED AND THAT'S FINAL

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Why do you always end these with "boiler" now?

Alenanno

@GnomeSlice You have an unusual definition of "naked". :P

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Because it happened once and it grew on me.

Also if/when I start producing music, what do you guys think of 'Boiler' as an artist name.

Fluttershy

In other news I am selling a $300 paintball gun for $150. <_<

This is stupid!

GnomeSlice

23:05

@Fluttershy =[

Really? I like it.

@Fluttershy You know what they should do is make a six-finger tap gesture on Android that makes 'you killed my father! Prepare to die' show up on the screen.

Because only the six fingered man could do it (well, with one hand).

Hahahahahahahaha

Fluttershy

This is stupid!

GnomeSlice

I made myself laugh.

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice One of my friends made an 11 finger tap gesture on his Macbook

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko wat

Alenanno

@GnomeSlice LoL! In a movie, just now, a woman said "...because he killed my father".

OrigamiRobot

23:06

@GnomeSlice chat.stackexchange.com/…

Fluttershy

@SaintWacko That would be impossible. Everyone knows Mac users only have one finger.

7

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice He would place all ten fingers on the touchpad, then lean over and tap it with his nose

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy Hey now. I have many fingers.

SaintWacko

@Fluttershy You got me there

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot I wouldn't be a 'band', I'd be a 'producer'. Like 'Deadmau5' or Muck Duck or Vanish or Klaypex or Krewella or Adventure Club

SaintWacko

23:07

@LessPop_MoreFizz "See, I'll count them! One... Two... Many!"

John

@Ronan Yes please! Call it "The Nights Watch", if you would. Thanks!

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice That is irrelevant to the quality of a name.

Fluttershy

GnomeSlice

►

Fluttershy

THEN HOW DO YOU USE THAT

SaintWacko

23:08

@John I like the name, but what is this that shall be called Night's Watch?

Fluttershy

Dammit, @GnomeSlice... You ruined it.

SaintWacko

@Fluttershy Here, @GnomeSlice , delete that and repost it :P

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy I don't.

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh. Okay then.

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy Actually it applies to mine too.

LessPop_MoreFizz

23:09

I use this:

amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Gaming-Mouse-G700/dp/B003VAM32E

Or, most of the time, tbqh, I just use the trackpad unless I'm playing a game.

two and three-finger gestures are the bestest.

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice "Everything is just a few hundred clicks away."

GnomeSlice

^ I use that! ^

Alenanno

@GnomeSlice O_O

GnomeSlice

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Ahaha that's awesome

Alenanno

23:11

Is that a Transformer? :P

GnomeSlice

The knob on the bottom is a little wrench you can use for changing the pieces.

SaintWacko

@LessPop_MoreFizz Same here, and even then I prefer games where I can keep using the touchpad

GnomeSlice

Of which it has many

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria Yayyyy!

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot How do you expect me to roll with these jokes and not get banned

SaintWacko

23:12

@OrigamiRobot That is an awesome trick. I wish to learn it

John

@Saintwhacko My Spiral Knights guild

OrigamiRobot

Two people reply to the same old message simultaneously? @GnomeSlice is @SaintWacko's sockpuppet!

John

Is called The Nights Watch

No apostrophe. :|

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot I noticed that. Very odd. Not suspicious, though. Not at all

John

I wasn't the founder, so I didn't name it

GnomeSlice

23:14

@OrigamiRobot No, I have a different sockpuppet.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice You are the sockpuppet.

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Right, you're my sockpuppet, and then you have other sockpuppets

GnomeSlice

EVERYONE MUST KNOW HOW GOOD I AM AT SOMETHING

►

@SaintWacko Oh, I see.

The ~~stupid~~ mods already figured out who my sockpuppet is.

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Damnitall, my youtube is broken

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Chrome?

SaintWacko

23:16

I get a minute or so of video, then it says an error occurred

@GnomeSlice Yes

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Refresh

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy Games for Windows Live is stupid.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Oh, also, doing a full roll is a faster way to return to normal flight than banking one way and levelling out the same way.

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice No joy. Now it errors immediately

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko hard refresh

Also what tabs do you have open

SaintWacko

23:18

@GnomeSlice That's what I did

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Try it in a new chrome dinwo

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria It uses that? x_x

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy Yeah. It started harassing me to enter my Xbox Live login as soon as the game started.

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice I shall immediately try a new dinwo

StrixVaria

Now it's installing some GFWL update.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT WHEN I LAUNCH MY GAME

Fluttershy

23:19

x_x

StrixVaria

INSTALLERS IN THE GAME TOO

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria ahahahahahahah

@StrixVaria HEY IT'S 6:20

Wanna play Skydrift?

SaintWacko

There it goes

Odd

StrixVaria

I'm trying out this Batman thing Fluttershy convinced me to get.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria ლ(ಥ益ಥლ)

SaintWacko

23:23

@GnomeSlice Wow, that looks like fun

Also, you are very good at that

Where is it on sale?

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Steam

@SaintWacko you want a free copy?

Also, do you have a gamepad?

Ullallulloo

@SaintWacko store.steampowered.com/app/91100

GnomeSlice

You basically need one.

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Sure, if you've got one lying around

@GnomeSlice And yes I do

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko WOO do I have you on Steam?

SaintWacko

23:25

Otherwise I'll grab a copy, and convince my friend to do the same

@GnomeSlice Yes

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko message me, I can't find you

John

Do I respond to Steam comments on my own profile or on the commenters?

cough @Retrosaur cough

GnomeSlice

@John I respond on the commenters

But actually I don't.

I have only had one comment

Ullallulloo

@John The other person's will give them a notification.

GnomeSlice

and the response was a separate thing

John

23:26

kk, thanks

John

Q: How many powered rails are required for maxiumum minecart speed?

Since villages and huge diverse cave systems have reached the Xbox version of Minecraft, I've been messing more with minecarts to get from one side of the map to the other. One problem I have of course is going up hill with mine carts. Right now, I use power rails. However, I don't fully understa...
