04:59:38 [Puyopuyo]So...who's going to PAX East?
04:59:48 [Pipian]Saturday
05:00:04 [nathanbp]not at all.
05:00:59 [Puyopuyo]Really? Even though there's no Blizzcon?
05:02:11 [Puyopuyo]So Ian, did you get Jenn's dinner e-mail?
05:02:22 [nathanbp]Ehh, I dunno, I was kinda meh on it last year
05:02:36 [nathanbp]Also I'm visiting my aunt for easter and it's my dad's birthday
05:02:59 [Pipian]Unless it was a long time ago
05:03:02 [Pipian]No
05:03:48 [Puyopuyo]Okay.
05:04:40 [Puyopuyo]Nathan: Ah, that would be a good reason.
05:05:11 [Puyopuyo]Ian: I think it's birthday-y dinner party-ish. Last year was kind of...overwhelming, I suppose. Nathan may be able to put it more eloquently.
05:05:22 [Pipian]I /went/ to the one last year
05:05:23 [Pipian]Remember
05:05:26 [Pipian]bicycle
05:05:33 [Pipian]and then I went to get a coke for Emily
05:05:37 [Pipian]afterwards
05:05:42 [Pipian]and blew my bike tire out
05:05:53 [Pipian]->punctured
05:05:55 [Puyopuyo]...oh wow. I forgot that was the bike tire doom run.
05:06:10 [Pipian]But it absolutely was overwhelming
05:06:12 [Puyopuyo]And I forgot, sorry. I'm not even sure who was there. I THINK Nathan was, but I remember mostly being grumpy.
05:06:19 [Pipian]Nathan was there
05:06:25 [Pipian]He was sitting on our end of the table
05:06:26 [nathanbp]Overwhelming describes it well, yes
05:07:06 [Pipian]Basically it ended up being two separate groups
05:07:13 [Pipian]Who happened to go to the same place at the same time
05:07:17 [Puyopuyo]Those who left early and those who stayed way late?
05:07:27 [Pipian]and sit at tables that happened to be touching
05:07:31 [Pipian]Yes, more or less
05:07:42 [Pipian]The food was okay, not outstanding
05:07:43 [Puyopuyo]It really divided up. I didn't feel like I was dinnering with the other group.
05:07:48 [Pipian]Agreed
05:07:52 [Pipian]Part of that was too many people
05:08:10 [Pipian]It also wasn't the place for a crowd of that size anyway
05:08:18 [Puyopuyo]I've had dinner with 15 people of my high school friends before. Even if we're two tables, we end up being jerks and hopping back and forth.
05:08:25 [Pipian]True.
05:08:31 [Puyopuyo]The other problem with the place was that it didn't lend itself to really chatting.
05:08:35 [Pipian]Yeah
05:08:39 [Puyopuyo]You were generally up waiting for them to cook your food.
05:08:39 [Pipian]That's what I meant
05:08:46 [Pipian]Oh
05:08:49 [Pipian]Well not that, per se
05:08:52 [Pipian]But yeah, that too
05:08:59 [Puyopuyo]I don't recall being at the table more than I was away from the table.
05:09:54 [Pipian]It felt about a 50/50 split, yeah
05:10:09 [Pipian]p.s. sam
05:10:13 [Pipian]is it your birthday
05:10:17 [Pipian]i hope it is your birthday
05:10:22 [Pipian]if we go again
05:10:27 [Pipian]because it is everyone's birthday
05:11:04 [nathanbp]Wow you guys are both still incredibly bitter after almost a year :P
05:11:29 [Puyopuyo]You're surprised Nathan?
05:11:33 [Puyopuyo]I hoard my bitterness.
05:11:35 [Pipian]I'm not bitter per se
05:11:37 [nathanbp]A tad
05:11:59 [Pipian]I'm just remembering the particular occasion with some ironic relish
05:12:03 [nathanbp]I wasn't surprised at first but then you kept going at it :P
05:12:10 [Pipian]chagrin may even be appropriate
05:12:18 [nathanbp]oh hmm I should get a hotel room for otakon
05:12:25 [nathanbp]Since Mark wants to go
05:12:27 [Puyopuyo]...I should probably register for Otakon.
05:12:33 [Pipian]I'm gonna be in India
05:12:36 [nathanbp]That'd be a good idea too
05:12:43 [Puyopuyo]Sounds like it'll be interesting.
05:12:46 [nathanbp]Really? neat. what for?
05:12:57 [Pipian]June 18-August 3
05:13:01 [Pipian]Ah
05:13:31 [Pipian]I'm volunteering to teach a combination crash course in (Android?) programming and entrepreneurship overseas
05:13:50 [Pipian]Got the assigned country this evening
05:13:52 [Pipian](Finally)
05:14:09 [nathanbp]Cool
05:14:09 [Puyopuyo]That sounds pretty nifty. Enjoy the country, don't get sick, the usual.
05:14:16 [Pipian]It's my hope.
05:14:19 [nathanbp]Is this where we're supposed to tell you not to drink the water?
05:14:36 [Pipian]My uncle has long since grown accustomed to drinking fizzy water
05:14:43 [Pipian]It is a habit I will probably quickly get into
05:15:14 [Pipian](Because it means it's bottled, processed, and slightly acidic)
05:15:25 [Pipian](And therefore not so crummy)
05:18:17 [nathanbp]BTW Sam, I played enough Star Control 2 to be done mindlessly mining planets for hours on end
05:18:38 [Puyopuyo]So you need another game?
05:18:45 [nathanbp]It's like Alien Legacy except without the interesting parts
05:18:55 [nathanbp]Although it does have better amusing aliens
05:19:05 [nathanbp]I might just wait 2 weeks for xenoblade chronicles
05:19:51 [Puyopuyo]Fair enough
05:19:58 [Puyopuyo]Though I may try to think of some game to waste your time.
05:20:01 [nathanbp]although I'm also open to suggestions
05:20:11 [nathanbp]I considered playing Arc Rise Fantasia again but I don't think I quite could
05:20:19 [Puyopuyo]You already beat that.
05:20:26 [Puyopuyo]Are you open to emulation?
05:20:32 [nathanbp]Sure
05:20:48 [Puyopuyo]Have you played Seiken Densetsu 3?
05:20:49 [nathanbp]Are there DS emulators yet?
05:20:51 [Puyopuyo]Yes
05:22:14 [nathanbp]No I haven't played that yet
05:22:20 [nathanbp]Looks interesting
05:22:33 [Puyopuyo]No random battles, active battle system, can be played two player.
05:22:54 [Puyopuyo]Any SNES emulator SHOULD be able to run it.
05:24:27 [nathanbp]Can you aid me in obtaining the ROM?
05:24:47 [nathanbp]I have played Secret of Mana, FYI
05:25:25 [Puyopuyo]Yeah, but SD3 is better in my opinion.
05:25:33 [Puyopuyo]About as buggy, but a better plot and stronger characters.
05:26:04 [nathanbp]sounds good
05:27:01 [Puyopuyo]Here you go: http://www.romnation.net/srv/roms/42383/snes/Seiken-Densetsu-3.html
05:27:02 [Sacchi]Seiken Densetsu 3 Rom Download for Nintendo SNES at ROMNation.NET
05:27:11 [Puyopuyo]I'm not pleased that it's a pre-patched rom, but whatever I guess.
05:28:18 [nathanbp]I should not start playing this right now.
05:28:25 [Puyopuyo]Oh?
05:28:26 [nathanbp]* nathanbp starts playing this right now.
05:28:33 [nathanbp]It's 1:30 in the morning?
05:33:17 [nathanbp]wow I get to pick a main character
05:33:26 [Puyopuyo]You get to pick your party.
05:33:32 [Puyopuyo]The plot DOES change depending upon who you pick.
05:33:40 [Puyopuyo]There are 3 final bosses depending on your main as well.
05:37:25 [Puyopuyo]And that is a good reason, but meh, you'll go to sleep anyway.
05:37:39 [nathanbp]* nathanbp picks semi-randomly
06:21:26 [nathanbp]zsnes is randomly glitching out and going into turbo mode...
06:24:07 [nathanbp]oh hmm it's my fault
06:56:57 [nathanbp]awkward
06:57:01 [nathanbp]I got beaten by the first boss
06:57:28 [nathanbp]time to sleep
06:57:42 [Puyopuyo]Yeah, it's a tough one.
06:57:43 [Puyopuyo]Good night.
