01:10:35 [Puyopuyo]-!- Puyopuyo has left #Cochineal [Quit: Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
01:37:13 [Pipian]Sam: Why? Because Reimu can beat anything, including youkai she's got a type weakness to.

01:52:00 [AChes]Yeah unfortunately the Chapel Hill library wants me to pay for a library card because while I live in Chapel Hill I don't live in Orange county
01:52:38 [AChes]also is the pointer supposed to cut off about 7 pm est?
01:52:57 [AChes]I know i can get to the older stuff just whining
01:53:02 [Pipian]Read the top line
01:53:11 [Pipian](Timestamps are in UTC)
01:53:39 [AChes]that does explain why 7 pm but not why it cuts off at all
01:53:49 [Pipian]Once per day?
01:54:03 [AChes]but always when i care
01:54:10 [Pipian]Well
01:54:19 [Pipian]I'll add back/forward links in the near future then
01:54:21 [Pipian]How about that
01:54:23 [AChes]like I said not a big deal just whining
01:55:08 [AChes]an I sort of remember someone saying it was fixed, but I dodn't really know what they were tlaking about
02:00:55 [nathanbp]you can just type in the previous day in the URL
02:00:58 [nathanbp]to get yesterdays
02:01:23 [AChes]I know

02:37:59 [nathanbp]oh I should buy train tickets
02:39:43 [ChanServ]-!- ChanServ set mode +o on gadgetgrl
02:42:41 [Puyopuyo]Yeah me too.
02:55:07 [Puyopuyo]Nathan, what train are you using for your return?
02:58:03 [gadgetgrl]5:40
02:58:18 [Puyopuyo]Really? Nifty.
02:58:22 [Puyopuyo]So we'll all be on the same train.
02:58:36 [Puyopuyo](You're okay with that, Jenn, Nathan, other people Amtrakking who are not Chescheir or Ian?)
03:01:49 [gadgetgrl]yup...i already bought tickets
03:02:05 [Puyopuyo]Awesome.
03:02:25 [Puyopuyo]Meh, 2:40 AM train there...
03:02:55 [Pipian]That just means
03:02:59 [Pipian]uh
03:03:09 [Pipian]That you'll be in early :D
03:03:14 [Puyopuyo]Oh, entirely randomly: Has everyone here who ever cared to played Psychonauts?
03:03:35 [gadgetgrl]yes
03:03:38 [Pipian]My answer should be taken for granted.
03:03:58 [Puyopuyo]All righty, just wondering, as it's 2.50 at Good Old Games today...
03:06:16 [Pipian]Wee
03:06:24 [Pipian]The thrill of trying to get through Victory Road
03:08:36 [Puyopuyo]SUICIDE RUN!
03:08:50 [Puyopuyo]* Puyopuyo prods Mark or Chescheir or Nathan.
03:10:15 [nathanbp]yes sam?
03:10:27 [nathanbp]Psychonauts? never heard of it
03:15:05 [Puyopuyo]Here you go: http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/psychonauts
03:15:25 [Puyopuyo]If you think it's worth a gander, make a gog account and I'll buy you a copy of psychonauts.
03:20:54 [nathanbp]You're recommending it?
03:21:13 [Puyopuyo]Well, it's a collect-a-thon like most of Tim Schaffer's games.
03:21:27 [AChes]Yeah I played it I remembber getting stuck on some jump near the end, I should redownload it from steam at some point
03:21:31 [Puyopuyo]However, the writing is very clever and the gameplay is entertaining.
03:21:58 [Puyopuyo]I figure for the low, low price of "Sam buys it for you", you can't really go wrong.
03:22:36 [Puyopuyo]At absolute worst, you own a game you won't play digitally. No different from many other things we all own.
03:24:29 [Pipian]Run, Run, Run, Run...
03:24:54 [AChes]speaking of useless digital stuff, what should I do with $50 on itunes?
03:25:26 [Puyopuyo]Good question.
03:25:33 [Puyopuyo]What should I do with $40 on itunes?
03:25:42 [Pipian]Good question.
03:25:46 [Puyopuyo]* Puyopuyo has four 10 dollar gift cards he received...and he kind of does NOT use itunes.
03:25:54 [Pipian]What should I do with $10 from Best Buy that I received for no obvious reason
03:27:32 [nathanbp]buy a video game ian?
03:27:39 [Pipian]video game
03:27:42 [Pipian]you must be joking
03:27:49 [nathanbp]pokemon whatever?
03:28:10 [Pipian]Eeh... *shrug*
03:28:14 [gadgetgrl]buy a movie? (itunes)
03:28:24 [Pipian]Jenn
03:28:25 [Pipian]You forget
03:28:28 [Pipian]Sam hates DRM
03:28:28 [AChes]light bnulbs?
03:28:33 [gadgetgrl]buy that album...you....always....wanted???
03:28:55 [gadgetgrl]that reminds me, i owe you for the starbucks card you pawned off on me :)
03:29:21 [Pipian]Jenn, I hate Train and will never buy one of their albums >:(
03:29:57 [gadgetgrl]it's good think itunes only sells train albums
03:30:02 [gadgetgrl]thing*
03:30:07 [Pipian]yes
03:30:10 [Pipian]yes it is
03:31:01 [Pipian](I assumed you were referring to my Best Buy card which I received for no obvious reason other than that I bought this year's tax software at Best Buy ??? )
03:31:37 [AChes]buy next years tax software?
03:31:44 [gadgetgrl]you could put it towards a purchase of a game controller
03:31:53 [gadgetgrl]or an iphone case
03:31:53 [nathanbp]it expires in 364 days
03:32:14 [gadgetgrl]see the problem is you bought at best buy
03:32:19 [Pipian]Yes, I could purchase a game controller for that new console I just bought
03:32:22 [Pipian]Being uh
03:32:29 [Pipian]That Wii from four years ago
03:32:30 [gadgetgrl]ps i've given up on punctuation tonight...so just imagine commas and periods and such
03:32:38 [Pipian]Because that's the newest one I have
03:32:54 [Pipian]Well
03:32:55 [gadgetgrl]perhaps the buttons have mysteriously become unresponsive?
03:33:03 [Pipian]You seem to be doing just fine with ellipses :D
03:33:12 [nathanbp]and apostrophes?
03:33:23 [Pipian]Basically
03:33:25 [Pipian]What she's saying
03:33:38 [Pipian]Is that she's ACTUALLY given up on using capitalization.
03:34:02 [Pipian]It's a common mistake :-|
03:42:55 [gadgetgrl]i ...<3 ... ellipses....
03:43:02 [Puyopuyo]Is Jenn dying?
03:43:05 [Puyopuyo]I think she's dying.
03:43:06 [Puyopuyo]* Puyopuyo sighs.
03:43:10 [gadgetgrl]well there was a long run on sentence somewhere
03:43:10 [Puyopuyo]I'll be right over on the train.
03:43:13 [gadgetgrl]lol
03:43:20 [gadgetgrl]the day i leave out commas, you know it's a bad time
03:43:28 [gadgetgrl]see, even brought them back
03:43:38 [Puyopuyo]Jenn's bringing commas back.
03:43:39 [gadgetgrl]can't live without them it seems
03:43:39 [Pipian]Makin' an effort I see
03:43:45 [Pipian]Commas
03:43:45 [gadgetgrl]hells yeah!
03:43:47 [Pipian]The new black
03:43:56 [gadgetgrl]commas!
03:43:58 [Puyopuyo]But yeah. I don't see the point in "buying" a movie digitally if I don't actually OWN the movie.
03:44:11 [Puyopuyo]Which kind of rules out what I can do with itunes.
03:44:15 [gadgetgrl]true
03:44:23 [Pipian]And besides
03:44:23 [Puyopuyo]Maybe I can find people who can use itunes money and trade it for something I can use.
03:44:26 [Pipian]Movies under DRM
03:44:32 [Pipian]Pretty sure you don't want that ???
03:44:40 [Puyopuyo]...that is pretty much what I said, Ian.
03:44:53 [Pipian]oh okay
03:44:56 [Pipian]I thought you were more like me
03:45:02 [Pipian]And wanted a physical copy :-|
03:45:03 [Puyopuyo]I mean, besides the whole "I REFUSE TO BUY A LICENSE"
03:45:13 [Puyopuyo]I like physical copies.
03:45:17 [Puyopuyo]I can take them to friend's houses.
03:48:06 [Puyopuyo]http://steam-punk.net/zelda_25th_anniversary.jpg <- Anyone who ever liked Legend of Zelda should appreciate this.
03:48:38 [Puyopuyo]Anyway, I shall wait to see if Nathan will accept my offer of "I BUY YOU GAME"
03:48:49 [nathanbp]yeah need to be done raiding
03:48:52 [nathanbp]then I'll sign up
03:48:56 [Puyopuyo]Cool beans.
03:48:58 [nathanbp]like 15 more minutes
03:48:58 [Pipian]There is no way I'm going to remember most of these characters
03:49:58 [AChes]how bad is the DRM on like audiobooks,
03:50:00 [AChes]?
03:50:16 [Puyopuyo]Ian: Well, that's why this booru version has little labels! http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/858932
03:50:32 [Puyopuyo]I don't know myself, so I can't answer that unfortunately. Sorry Chescheir.
03:51:36 [AChes]hmm I bet I could find at least a few audio books to get if I don't have to play them from an iPod or on iTunes
03:52:11 [Pipian]AAC
03:52:14 [Pipian]So probably yes
03:52:39 [AChes]yes I can't use them?
03:52:46 [Pipian]Correct
03:53:46 [AChes]maybe my brother will buy it from me
03:56:50 [gadgetgrl]there are things that are google-able that can get you past the drm
03:57:25 [AChes]yeah probably worth a look
04:08:10 [nathanbp]ok I made an account Sam
04:13:12 [Puyopuyo]And check your e-mail.
04:15:42 [nathanbp]Reserved PAX train tickets
04:17:34 [Pipian]effing A
04:17:47 [Puyopuyo]?
04:17:53 [Pipian]Stupid Golbat gets off a mean look before I can run with a grass type leading the party
04:18:03 [Puyopuyo]So...switch?
04:18:07 [Pipian]Mean Look
04:18:10 [Pipian]You can't switch
04:18:16 [Puyopuyo]Oh right.
04:18:18 [Puyopuyo]Well damn.
04:18:40 [Puyopuyo]I'm assuming no rock moves?
04:18:54 [Pipian]I didn't think Mean Look had priority like that??
04:18:54 [Puyopuyo]You use the discount, Nathan?
04:19:13 [Puyopuyo]...I don't recall it having that kind of priority...
04:19:33 [Pipian]Maybe I failed to get away because Golbat is barely that fast
04:20:03 [Puyopuyo]I guess so.
04:21:35 [nathanbp]No I didn't cause I didn't feel like calling people >_>
04:23:16 [nathanbp]off to bed 'night all
04:27:16 [Puyopuyo]Night Nathan.

06:41:23 [Pipian]If I didn't have enough reason to hate Hey Soul Sister, I now have a new one by proxy
06:41:33 [Pipian]"A cover of the song was also performed by "Munch's Make Believe Band," the animatronic show located at Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants."
06:53:23 [Puyopuyo]...
06:53:35 [Puyopuyo]It's like the universe wants you to hate that song.
06:54:44 [Pipian]By the way
06:55:08 [Pipian]Did you know it still (recently) was at #1 on the Top Adult Contemporary tracks on Billboard?
07:04:48 [Puyopuyo]....really?
