02:12:40 [nathanbp]Hey Sam
02:12:49 [nathanbp]5+ Dora, every hand!!
02:13:33 [Puyopuyo]...have you somehow become amazing at Mahjong?
02:13:49 [nathanbp]no, that's the new amazing mahjong power in Saki
02:13:54 [nathanbp](a-side)
02:13:56 [Puyopuyo]......
02:19:35 [nathanbp]I kanned and then the same tile came up :(
02:20:18 [Puyopuyo]....what?
02:20:33 [nathanbp]for the dora indicator
02:21:14 [Puyopuyo]...you what?
02:21:46 [nathanbp]I kanned and then the same tile that was already up for dora came up again
02:22:21 [nathanbp]so there wasn't another dora tile just the same one again
02:24:57 [Puyopuyo]Oh. Yeah, double dora is great. >_>
02:25:54 [nathanbp]and then I discarded the dora cause it wasn't helping my hand
02:29:49 [Puyopuyo]nice
02:30:30 [nathanbp]I can't tell if I've gotten even worse at mahjong or if I've just been unlucky :(
02:32:53 [Puyopuyo]Little bit of both?
02:33:44 [nathanbp]probably...

04:07:59 [Puyopuyo]Oh no, now Jenn will see Nathan's inability to play Mahjong!
04:13:30 [gadgetgrl]based on past convo? or other?
04:14:33 [Puyopuyo]Past conversation.
04:14:57 [Puyopuyo]If I weren't play Kid Icarus, I would've been able to make the joke an hour ago when it would've been funny and relevant. Alas.
04:17:20 [gadgetgrl]:)
04:17:27 [gadgetgrl]how are you finding kid icarus?
04:18:13 [Puyopuyo]Easily one of the best multiplayer experiences on a handheld I've had in a long time.
04:18:24 [Puyopuyo]Even if you're not very good, it's playable.
04:23:17 [Puyopuyo]The single player is very charming. It's pretty hammy, but I enjoyed the characterization. The customizable difficulty is a great way to make the game replayable and at the same time just the right difficulty.
04:25:57 [gadgetgrl]cool
04:28:16 [Puyopuyo]Dunno if it's right for you, I'd recommend trying it out.
04:28:31 [gadgetgrl]i played the demo at gdc and thought it was interesting
04:28:46 [gadgetgrl]so far there are a wealth of other games in the queue first though x.x
04:28:50 [gadgetgrl]started playing ghost trick recently
04:29:02 [gadgetgrl]only a little ways in, but it's interesting so far
04:29:04 [Puyopuyo]Oh, what an excellent game that was.
04:29:06 [Puyopuyo]So damn good.
04:29:12 [gadgetgrl]i'm excited to hear that :)
04:29:14 [Puyopuyo]BRILLIANT characterization, and excellent puzzle gameplay.
04:29:25 [Puyopuyo]Plot's...plotty. Nothing spectacular, but the characters MAKE the game.
04:30:05 [gadgetgrl]nice
04:30:31 [Puyopuyo]Like, there's one guy whose very entrance makes you go "...what is he doing?"
04:30:41 [Puyopuyo]Very charming game. Do have fun with it!
04:39:41 [gadgetgrl]cool, i definitely look forward to playing it more
04:40:12 [Puyopuyo]I fear that you may want to cosplay a character though...
04:41:34 [gadgetgrl]lol, really? why?
04:47:42 [Puyopuyo]Because the characters are awesome?
04:47:48 [Puyopuyo]Though I don't believe any of them wear plaid...
04:50:15 [gadgetgrl]ah, i thought you meant a specific character
04:53:27 [Puyopuyo]I'm thinking of one, but not saying anything until you get further!
04:56:36 [nathanbp]Only being able to use 3 characters at a time in Xenoblade Chronicles is annoying :(
04:56:55 [Puyopuyo]Heh. True
05:01:22 [nathanbp]Plus as far as I can tell there's only one tank and one healy character
05:01:31 [nathanbp]so you have to always use those two...
05:01:52 [nathanbp]this is why WoW has a 5 character party
05:01:58 [nathanbp]slots for 3 DPS.
05:05:47 [Puyopuyo]The main can do passable healing, and you don't need to tank if you topple-daze spam.
05:12:00 [nathanbp]Any enemy you can topple-daze spam you don't need to tank anyways
05:12:09 [nathanbp]Passable healing = one spell? :P
05:12:43 [nathanbp]Besides the best person at topple daze spamming is the tank anyways
05:16:14 [nathanbp]Am I missing something or is Melia terrible? (just got her)
05:28:55 [Puyopuyo]Dunno.
05:28:59 [Puyopuyo]You're further than me.
