19:42, Chad> If I just get shocked from a regular household switch which has a ton of more power then a shirt won't do near that.
19:44, Duskesko> You'd need tons more amperage and voltage to get a shock. Maybe if you had the solar cells charge a few capacitors.
19:47, Chad is tired of seeing GTA IV stuff now.
19:48, Deanfrz> wait a minute... maybe it was a dream I had... I've been on a buncha wierd drugs for a while now(freaking doctors)
19:52, Chad needs more Limbo news...
19:55, Deanfrz> Speaking of that crazy game and the C4: the trick is to place it high on the door.
20:01, Deanfrz> In my humble opinion: Voxels Roxels
02:43, Chad> Quite! http://mugshotdujour.com/misc/matthew-gibeault-possession-of-drug-parapher nalia-462008
02:51, Cryoburner whispers: Who?
03:13, Chad> Hancock looks funny.
03:21, Chad downloads the Age Of Conan beta...
03:21, Chad> 12GBs...? Dang...
03:29, Raptorjedi> I have just learned something very important. Consoles are not, and never should be a system to put an RTS on.
03:30, Chad> Yeah, it sucks. Unless they have mouse and keyboard support.
03:31, Raptorjedi> I downloaded the demo for Universe at War, and ignoring the whole tiny text and hard to see things, I couldn't figure out what the fuck it was I was doing.
03:32, Chad> hehe
03:33, Raptorjedi> I saw that you could play the Novus, which you couldn't do on the PC demo, so I stupidly thought "Maybe this will be good" and downloaded it.
03:33, Raptorjedi> I didn't last ten minutes against the cpu, and I was in the middle of the battle against them by the time I figured out how to spawn troops and upgrade the Walker.
03:33, Raptorjedi> In the PC demo I was owning the map in that time :P
03:34, Chad goes to download the Siren game... Scary!
03:35, Chad> I don't think I played UaW... Can't remember.
03:37, Chad> All I know is the Iron Man game sucks.
03:42, Raptorjedi> Never played it, but I'll probably agree with you. Most movies to game adaptations suck more than games to movies. :P
03:43, Cryoburner> Most movie tie-in games do suck. :P
03:43, Cryoburner whispers: RJ beat me to that. :\
03:43, Raptorjedi> Speaking of games into movies. Uwe Boll approached Blizzard about making a WoW movie, they said to him and I quote "We will not sell the movie rights, not to you... especially not to you."
03:44, Cryoburner> Most game to movie adaptations are probably worse though. :)
03:44, Cryoburner> :D
03:44, Chad> Oh joy, I always wanted a WoW movie... :P
03:45, Cryoburner> How much levelling up do you think they could do in 90 minutes? :)
03:46, Raptorjedi> I don't know why he wanted to either, Legendary Pictures already has the rights to a Warcraft movie.
03:47, Raptorjedi> Uwe Boll probably would make people level up in his WoW film. I can see it now. "Duuuuuuuuuuude! DING! I gotta go to Stormwind maaaaan, I got some new Mage spells to get! YEAH!"
03:47, Cryoburner> The online gameplay in GTAIV looks pretty neat.
03:48, Chad> Yeah, it does. Needs more then 16 players though.
03:48, Cryoburner> It looks like there's even cooperative modes, and the ability to play as the police.
03:48, Cryoburner> I don't think the 16 player limit is much of a problem.
03:49, Raptorjedi> I think it might have something to do with having the whole of Liberty City as a playing field.
03:49, Cryoburner> Plus, it probably keeps thinks from getting laggy for those with slower broadband connections.
03:49, Raptorjedi> Though if you are in a deathmatch, finding someone across the whole city would be a pain in the ass.
03:50, Raptorjedi> So in that instance, having more people would be better.
03:50, Cryoburner> Not really...
03:50, Chad> Hopefully the spawn points are close to other players.
03:50, Cryoburner> Just follow the explosions. :)
03:50, Cryoburner> Maybe they'll have map indicators for other players.
03:50, Cryoburner> Just as they do for mission locations and the like.
03:51, Raptorjedi> Well weapons spawn in specific places only, so camping will probably be common place :P
03:51, Chad> I'll have to pick it up tomorrow. Good game just to waste time in.
03:52, Cryoburner> I thought it comes out the 29th.
03:53, Cryoburner whispers: Which would be the day after tomarrow. :)
03:53, Chad> Aww...
03:53, Raptorjedi> If you get it Chad, let me know what the other multiplayer modes are. There are supposed to be 15 different multiplayer modes, but they've only talked about four or five that i've seen.
03:53, Chad> Maybe I'll find it somewhere... :P Or steal it.
03:53, Cryoburner> Hey, maybe some stores will put it out early. :P
03:54, Chad> I'll look, not working tomorrow anyways.
03:54, Cryoburner> When you get caught for stealing it, tell them you got the idea from Grand Theft Auto. :P
03:54, Cryoburner> They showed racing on the Gametrailers review.
03:54, Cryoburner whispers: Racing with weapons. :)
03:55, Raptorjedi> Racing, Co-op, cops and robbers, deathmatch is all the ones I know of.
03:55, Chad> I'll see whats up. Should be fun.
03:55, Raptorjedi> I hear boat racing sucks ass.
03:55, Raptorjedi> The boats apparently don't go very fast
03:55, Chad> http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/15972/GTA-IV-Online-Multiplayer-15-Modes-16- Player-Support/
03:55, Cryoburner> Pontoon boat racing? :P
03:56, Chad> There is a list, not sure how real it is.
03:56, Chad> I'm mostly do deathmatch and free mode. racing once in a while.
03:56, Raptorjedi> Mafia Race looks fun, if it's real.
03:56, Raptorjedi meant: Mafia work
03:57, Chad> Yeah, that'd be cool.
03:57, Raptorjedi> Two minutes until the Unlock the Achievement scavenger hunt runs out, I made it into place 66. Which means I'm getting SOMETHING.
03:58, Raptorjedi> I might get up higher too, because there were a lot of cheaters they are going to bump out of the contest before giving out the prizes, or so I hear.
03:58, Chad> Gah, downloading from the Japanese Store takes forever...
03:59, Raptorjedi> Apparently there were a few people who found 15 or more in a minute or so. Those people are busted :P
03:59, Chad> Cheaters.
03:59, Raptorjedi> I'm hoping for MS Points or a code for Puzzle Quest.
04:00, Cryoburner> I think the police mode sounds cool. Only the police can see player locations, which should make things interesting.
04:01, Chad> I wanna try the new Puzzle Quest.
04:01, Raptorjedi> I dunno, that mode doesn't seem as fun to me.
04:02, Raptorjedi> Probably because the Police can see exactly where you are.
04:02, Cryoburner> Well, it will be interesting to see how they execute the different game modes.
04:02, Raptorjedi> I'd like it if they knew where you were once you were spotted though.
04:02, Cryoburner whispers: Hey, I wonder if the ??? mode will be like Wii sports. :P
04:03, Cryoburner whispers: They have darts, bowling, and billiards among their miigames, after all. :P
04:04, Cryoburner whispers: Make that minigames, not miigames. That was actually semi appropriate though, so I'll just say I did that on purpose. :)
04:05, Raptorjedi> Oh noes! The Tacogeddon has started! Run for your salsa and cheese!
04:06, Tacogeddon> Or a tortilla to contain the goodness!
04:06, Cryoburner fires a rocket launcher at Chad as he's about to release his bowling ball. :P
04:06, Zjc92> ...
04:07, Cryoburner> Tortillos!
04:07, Raptorjedi> Haha, that would be funny Cryo.
04:07, Chad> Strike!
04:07, Zjc92> IS THERE A TWO DRINK MINIMUM IN HERE? :P
04:07, Raptorjedi gets all impatient even though it's only been seven minutes. I needs moar Xbox 360 games.
04:08, Chad> Yep, must have two drinks in hand at all times.
04:08, Cryoburner> Not fair! That was the shock waves that knocked your pins down!
04:08, Tacogeddon> So, you got a 360 eh? :P
04:08, Zjc92> I recommend the 360 version of Bioshock. :P
04:08, Raptorjedi> Yeah, a week ago or so.
04:08, Cryoburner> Oh wait, maybe the ??? mode involves drunk driving, since that's a new feature. :)
04:09, Raptorjedi> Zjc, Bioshock can't run on my computer. So your recommendation is noted, but I've already intended to get it.
04:09, Alex> wow! nobody yeat went "Ah! Alex!" :)
04:09, Cryoburner> I suppose making all the drivers drunk could just be a setting for the race mode though. :P
04:09, Tacogeddon> AH ALEX, KILL IT.
04:09, Cryoburner> Get out of here, Alex!
04:10, Raptorjedi> I want to race people in GTA IV, get ahead of them and then block the road.
04:10, Alex> aah, relaxing :)
04:10, Raptorjedi> And I don't like competition and all, but http://www.co-optimus.com/
04:10, Zjc92> Nice one, RJ.
04:10, Raptorjedi> Co-Optimus is giving out a version of GTA IV on the winners console of choice.
04:10, Zjc92> If they don't port GTA IV to the PC, I will destroy Rockstar HQ and everyone in it.
04:10, Cryoburner> Oh, and Hi Alex, I guess. :P
04:11, Chad enters.
04:11, Zjc92> HAI ALEX.
04:11, Cryoburner> I'm sure they'll eventually release a PC port.
04:11, Cryoburner> Perhaps in 6 months.
04:11, Alex> well hello, but I have nothing particular to do... just checking by, I heard several sites were attacked via SQL injection of some sort
04:12, Zjc92> I wouldn't doubt it, but with all this console bullshit lately, I'm a little worried about PC ports of ANYHING. :P
04:12, Cryoburner> Yeah, we did that.
04:12, Zjc92> Eww, internet violence.
04:13, Cryoburner> PC ports are relatively easy now, seeing as the Xbox shares similar hardware.
04:13, Zjc92> I didn't know that.
04:13, Cryoburner> My guess is that a PC release of GTA IV will be released in the fall.
04:14, Zjc92> Probably, if it is.
04:14, Chad hopes he wins.
04:14, Cryoburner> The bowling match? :P
04:14, Zjc92> But there's so many good games coming out at the end of the summer, I Won't be able to buy it when it first comes out. xD
04:14, Alex> mmh... I'll be back to making Lino docs, but perhaps I'll come later to also backup the site's DB on a you-never-know basis
04:15, Chad> Get three jobs Zj.
04:15, Tacogeddon> Keep a Spore fund on the side Z. :V
04:15, Alex whispers: and good morning :)
04:15, Zjc92> Three? Shit, I don't have ONE. :P
04:15, Zjc92> I'm already saving for a new PC. :P
04:15, Zjc92> I'M NOT MADE OF MONEY.
04:15, Cryoburner> I updated my last backups on the 11th.
04:16, Raptorjedi> Or you know, you can do what I do Zjc.
04:16, Raptorjedi> Buy one new game, and then wait until the price drops and buy all the rest :P
04:16, Cryoburner whispers: And then proceeded to mess with the user bar. :P
04:16, Zjc92> That IS what I do. :P
04:16, Tacogeddon> Everyone better buy Spore, I need more things to subjugate. :P
04:17, Zjc92> Not my species, that's for sure.
04:17, Chad> I'll get Spore... Someday...
04:17, Raptorjedi> Taco, if it runs on my computer, I'll consider getting it for christmas.
04:17, Cryoburner> I'll get Spore once it's in the bargain bins for $5 three months after release. :P
04:17, Raptorjedi> But I am not getting that game before December. :P
04:17, Raptorjedi> Unless I win the lottery.
04:18, Zjc92> I'm thinking of pre-ordering Spore.
04:18, Zjc92> It'll be hard to get with that rabid fanbase.
04:19, Tacogeddon> Perhaps a crustacean species...
04:19, Zjc92 whispers: Like the Wii. :P
04:20, Raptorjedi> I want to create a world full of multiple alien tribes, and then watch the war with each other. If that can be done anyway :P
04:20, Chad> They should put Spore on Steam so I can download it. :P
04:20, Zjc92> Indeed. :P
04:21, Tacogeddon> I'd be happy if I could make species live on lava worlds, ice worlds, and other extremes. :P
04:25, Zjc92> Hm, I see no one could stay quiet for two days. :P
04:25, Chad> Not when we have such super discussions.
04:27, Cryoburner> Let's talk about unicorns!
04:28, Cryoburner> Unicorns are awesome, because you can ride them and skewer people on their horn at the same time.
04:28, Chad> I only like flying unicorns.
04:28, Zjc92> And you can fly them, yeah.
04:30, Cryoburner> Awesome... http://www.realcoasters.com/images/islandsofadventure/flyingunicorn1.jpg
04:30, Zjc92> WHEEEEE!
04:31, Cryoburner> I wonder if the ride has ever seen any... accidents.
04:36, Cryoburner> Like where the unicorn escapes and starts skewering people, then eating them.
04:42, Chad> I want one in my back yard.
05:46, Duskesko> I want one in my backyard and one in my frontyard.
06:27, Chad> I know two Ryans in NC!
06:27, Chad> I'm special! :P
06:30, Chad hopes its not the same person, that would be weird and unusual...
06:31, Starchaser> ryans? NC?
06:31, Chad> Yes, two Ryans in North Carolina.
06:32, Chad> One from here and the other through a friend.
07:39, Duskesko> Special indeed ?_?
07:39, Duskesko> damn lack of support for characters
11:10, Duskesko> What is it that makes gas STINK SO BAD sometimes? Other times its nothing but air it seems.
13:18, Starchaser> the gases that makes up the gas
14:28, Magnulus> Also, some harmful gases are given smells as to be detectable.
15:01, Chad> H2S!! RUN!
16:21, Deanfrz> Escspecially explody gases.
16:22, Deanfrz> I had a wierd dream this morning. I applied for a job at a store, kinda like a resurant with a built in department store.
16:23, Deanfrz> They gave me a shirt and hat and like 2 bucks, then sorta forgot about me. Didnt tell where to go, what to do, anything.
16:24, Deanfrz> Naturally(I'm on wierd dream causing drugs), I got all pissed off after searching for someone to tell me what to do and being told only that it was a joke and they were wasting my time intentionally.
16:26, Deanfrz> Before that, I got recruited to live in this city of apparently really smart people. And this hot chick was dragging me around, trying to tell his wierd theory to me, and then a buncha soldier showed up and dragged me away, saying, this was the wrong part of town.
16:27, Deanfrz> Also, they were trying to slowly kill us. With like our own choices. By making booze and smokes easy to get at.
16:27, Deanfrz> Later, I was forced to rehash my "bring the war home to america" terrorism strategy at a football game.
16:37, Cryoburner> That makes me hungry.
16:39, Cryoburner> I suppose I already was hungry though.
16:41, Cryoburner> I need to create the food.
16:41, Cryoburner> I'm going to sleep now.
17:04, Deanfrz> Jesus, where the crap is he that its exceptable to sleep at this hour?
17:05, Deanfrz> Must be mexican, always taking "sestas"
18:52, Chad> He's retired.
18:54, Raptorjedi> Or he just likes to sleep. I know I do.
18:56, Chad> I can't take naps, or I'm up all night and in my job I can't do that.
18:59, Chad just got "The World Ends With You" on DS... So far my brain hurts.
19:10, Deanfrz> I always imagined cryo as a young man.
19:10, Deanfrz> With a motorcycle
19:54, Fth> that's so agist of you!
19:54, Chad> Man... his is a tough game...
19:54, Chad meant: this
20:15, Chad> I want this for my house: http://www.flare-facade.com/
20:18, Duskesko> big name
20:21, Megagun> Awesome
20:23, Duskesko> its like flip tile display signs just more artsy. i like
21:54, Ouch> heh, the local bank has a hard time keeping all of it's pixels working in a dot matrix display... how long is a mechanical air piston going to hold up for?
21:55, Deanfrz> I'm thinking these arnt for mere banks.
21:57, Ouch> even still, burned out bulbs/led clusters are common even in places where money is no problem like las vegas.
22:00, Deanfrz> yeah, but with all the bulbs they got, the percentage of offline bulbs is much much lower
22:14, Deanfrz coughs
22:14, Deanfrz whispers: Or so I assume.
22:23, Chad couldn't find GTAIV today... Boo...
22:23, Chad will have to get it after work tomorrow.
22:26, Raptorjedi> Checked everywhere?
22:27, Chad> Well I know game stores won't release it early so I check Targets, Walmarts and other little places and nothing.
22:28, Raptorjedi> Walmart is sending out strict instructions with their boxes of games, explaining exactly how it should be sold and when.
22:28, Chad> Yeah, kind of sucks they do that now. :P
22:30, Raptorjedi> I would think somewhere like KB Toys or Toys R Us would be more likely to make that mistake.
22:30, Chad> I tried a couple small, privately owned game stores but nothing. I forgot to check ToysRus
22:30, Raptorjedi> EBGames will just be calling up everyone who bought a copy from them in a weeks time, trying to buy i t back.
22:32, Raptorjedi> If there was a better game store, I'd shop there instead, but there isn't.
22:33, Chad> Yeah, we don't have a game store here. Just a K'Mart thats slow on new releases.
22:33, Raptorjedi> Walmart is apparently one of the bigger stores in terms of video game sales, but they have shit for a selection.
22:34, Raptorjedi> They usually only stock new stuff, or stuff that sells.
22:34, Raptorjedi> So it's mostly sports, sports, WoW, Pokemon, the occasional Starcraft battle chest, The Sims.
22:38, Explorer> The Best Buy around here actually has a nive selection of games, including some of the smaller niche titles. Dunno if it's like that elsewhere.
22:38, Explorer> nice*
22:45, Raptorjedi> Best Buy, and sometimes CompUSA tend to have a wider variety of games, but for the real niche stuff you pretty much have to go to EBGames and pray.
