*whispers with telepathic link*Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it! ;)


Kori, you gonna stay up late? :)

Edit: Mé Too!

Nah I want.

Also me three! =P I've already eaten pizza today though, and it's 11.35 pm, so going to wait until breakfast. Scrambled eggs sounds nice. ^_^

Leopold Stotch
03-05-2012, 21:38
idk what to make... might have leftovers or i might go out. There's not much here. :/

I think I'm gonna go on Mumble later tonight. Need a distraction.

korialstraz
03-05-2012, 21:46
Oh I've been there as well. It sucks when you don't have any food in your house. =(

Skjolde
03-05-2012, 21:49
Yea, but I'm at work:(

kestegs
03-05-2012, 23:45
I always have food, just not always food that I want to eat.

Jcakes

I read that without the comma, I.E lets eat skjolde .....

kestegs

Jcakes

Danish is pretty sweet.

Danish is pretty sweet.

Pun intended!

Jcakes

Unfortunately.

korialstraz
04-05-2012, 12:01
Making some breakfast. ^_^

And it was indeed scrambled eggs. Going to be good. :D

Skjolde
04-05-2012, 12:48
Scrambled egg sounds good!

kestegs
04-05-2012, 12:50
Sounds good, just cereal for me :(

Skjolde
04-05-2012, 12:53
What kind of cereal?

Muggs
04-05-2012, 13:00
I need to make some breakfast for myself here soon.

Skjolde
04-05-2012, 13:05
Me too.

And I'm like hours ahead of you. That's the sad part.

kestegs
04-05-2012, 13:21
I dunno, some crap from the health food store. Kinda like honey bunches of oats.

Muggs
04-05-2012, 14:02
Me too.

And I'm like hours ahead of you. That's the sad part.


Breakfast is good anytime of day

kestegs

It really is, it's the best meal.

I'm about halfway thorough season 3 now. Or is it 4....can't remember now.

Jcakes

It is pretty good :)

kestegs
05-05-2012, 05:00
It's season 4 actually. Iirc this is the last good season?

Jcakes
05-05-2012, 09:40
I don't mind season 5/6 and 8, some other people don't like them though.

Season 7 is ok, but kind of got screwed by WGA strike.

Muggs
05-05-2012, 12:54
Scrubs is hilarious and have seen many of the episodes many times due to syndication.

One of my students made me a copy of "The IT Crowd" on DVD so I need to start watching that soon.

kestegs
05-05-2012, 14:11
I didn't think there were 8 seasons, not sure if I have them all on Netflix or not.

07-05-2012, 21:23
So what have you guys been up to this weekend? :P

I was supposed to help my step-mom rearrange some stuff, but she hadn't decided how she wanted it by the time I left, so that didn't happen. Got to talk with her and my dad, my two brothers and my older brothers gf. :P

Also played games ofc and watched movies. Nice and relaxing. ^_^

kestegs
07-05-2012, 22:31
I work all day on saturday. sunday we went to the aquarium as it was is my son's birthday. among other birthday shenanigans.

korialstraz
07-05-2012, 22:44
Oh I also read a bit. :D

But aquarium sounds nice as well. Went to one last time I was in Denmark. >_>

kestegs
08-05-2012, 01:14
Yes, it is nice to go there. The aquariums were much cooler in California, but this one is still nice.

Why is nobody spamming?

Jcakes
08-05-2012, 05:27
Sorry Pman, I've been busy at work.

pancakeman
08-05-2012, 06:01
Why do people keep using that excuse?

Jcakes
08-05-2012, 06:25
It is true, like vagina dentata.

pancakeman
08-05-2012, 06:29
Bah, you people and your "work". I have to sleep eventually, but that doesn't stop me!

Jcakes
08-05-2012, 06:33
I am sorry, but as much as I wish I did, I do not get paid to spam.

pancakeman
08-05-2012, 06:37
That would be a sweet gig, though I have heard the fastest way to ruin something for someone is to pay them to do it.

Jcakes
08-05-2012, 06:56
That is true, being paid for something makes it seem like work.

kestegs
08-05-2012, 11:44
But if you are spamming while you are supposed to be working area you not actually getting paid to spam?

Jcakes
08-05-2012, 12:26
yes well there is that.... I still need to do some work though.

korialstraz
08-05-2012, 13:47
heh you do that regularly :)

Aye that's true. xD :D

It doesn't happen as frequently when I have a job though. >_>

kestegs
08-05-2012, 14:16
Any hope on the job search?

korialstraz
08-05-2012, 15:08
Nope.

Although I was lazy today, and didn't call a guy that I should. Or well should as in I've told myself I should, even though he told me the last time I talked with him to call back in 4 weeks. That would be next week, but I guess being a week earlier out isn't so bad.

Haven't applied to any jobs yet this week, despite having told myself to try and apply to at least 1 job a day. So I'm a bit behind on that end, but the good thing is I updated my online CV, so that should make applying for jobs online a bit easier. ;)

Also it was raining today, and I had a friend over for visit to play some Heroes 6 hot-seat action! :jig: Well mostly the Heroes 6 session got in the way, but the rain as well, which made me reluctant to go out and give my CV to different stores and whatnot (which I'll count as an open job application). ;)

kestegs
08-05-2012, 15:34
I have a good idea what a CV is, but what exactly does it mean?

I've never had to seriously look for a job, I can't imagine it would be much fun though.

korialstraz
08-05-2012, 15:40
CV is short for Curiculum Vitae, which is basically just a list, or overview if you will if your level of education, work experience, certificates and/or drivers license etc. Basically a rundown if what you've done in terms of past education and work experience.

You typically send a job application, where you respond to an application posted somewhere (maybe adressing some of the questions listed in it), and you send a copy of your CV. Then when you show up for an interview, you bring a paper copy of your CV, as well as all the documentation for your education and work experience. Ofc you never bring your originals, so the copy needs a stamp and a signature from a place that is allowed to make "true copies" of important documents like this. That way you can prove that you've done the things you've listed in your CV.

At least that's how it works in Norway. :P

kestegs
08-05-2012, 15:44
That sounds similar to what we do here. We just call it a resume instead of a CV.

korialstraz
08-05-2012, 15:50
Ahh yes ofc. It's called that sometimes here as well, but the most common is to use the term CV. >_>

Btw I've done it again... :o Just bought the indie game bundle on steam for like 17€. :crazyeyes:

Guess that's another 5 games to my ever growing steam list. =P

kestegs
08-05-2012, 16:16
You're crazy, man!

I still have only 1 paid game on stream :p

pancakeman
08-05-2012, 19:28
I've got a couple, I do like the service but since my brother is usually playing at home I can barely ever find time to use it. It decided that if I am logged on already and he attempts to log on, it boots me and lets him in. If I try it in reverse, I just get "Sorry, already in use". Stupid Steam.

korialstraz
08-05-2012, 20:06
You don't have seperate steam accounts? :o

@kegs: My steam list of 131 games tells me I'm not crazy. :crazyeyes:

Jcakes
09-05-2012, 00:44
That sounds similar to what we do here. We just call it a resume instead of a CV.

We use both CV and resume. CV is generally used more in Academia, whereas resume is used more often in "the real world".


You don't have seperate steam accounts? :o

No point, we're playing the same games anyway.


My steam list of 131 games tells me I'm not crazy.
131... you...I...

kestegs
09-05-2012, 03:29
That's way too many. way. Too. Many.

You are crazy.

Jcakes
09-05-2012, 03:34
How many of those games have you actually played?

pancakeman
09-05-2012, 03:35
You'd think Steam would just cut him off after the first 100. Just say no. And close his Steam window, leaving an error message that says "Go outside". I am disappoint, Valve.

Jcakes

kestegs

You guys don't have a Wii do you? It does tell you to go outside after you've played a while.

pancakeman
09-05-2012, 04:21
I have heard Guild Wars tells you to take a break after a certain amount of time.

kestegs
09-05-2012, 04:29
Silly guild wars. Taking breaks is for nubs.

pancakeman
09-05-2012, 04:32
It can have its consequences. Luckily, there is help. I can't embed, but you can find it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCf9M5GsDSs).

kestegs
09-05-2012, 04:34
Help! I can't find it!

pancakeman
09-05-2012, 04:39
You say that, but you would get all upset if I embedded it.

Jcakes
09-05-2012, 04:40
I wouldn't .

pancakeman
09-05-2012, 04:44
He would. The title has a naughty word in it.

Jcakes
09-05-2012, 04:49
Stegs isn't even a real moderator anyway, he is just a spammer that has the ability to mess with tars and sigs

pancakeman
09-05-2012, 04:54
He is a distraction, he walks amongst us, tricks us into trusting him, into doing wrong, then the real mods nail us.

Jcakes
09-05-2012, 04:54
Ah yes, that makes sense.

pancakeman
09-05-2012, 04:55
Kegsy is the narc of the moderator world.

Jcakes
09-05-2012, 04:58
I haven't heard that term, I assume it means narcotics something?

pancakeman
09-05-2012, 04:59
Yes, it is a narcotics officer, and the term refers specifically to an officer who goes undercover in schools or other groups to catch dealers, etc.

Jcakes
09-05-2012, 05:01
Oh I see, guess it makes sense.

I must say I never really saw the appeal of drugs, which is fortunate given that in my line of work we have regular (random) drug tests.

pancakeman
09-05-2012, 05:04
I'm not a big fan myself. It's funny, I had to do a random test for the team a while ago, and I couldn't stop laughing about it because I am probably the only member of the team that has never even considered doing drugs, steroids or recreational.

Jcakes
09-05-2012, 05:12
Then it was obviously random.

Marijuana is the worst drug to take (from a drug test perspective) as it stays in your system for a long time.

pancakeman
09-05-2012, 05:40
Funnily enough, one of the other cyclists that was there to take it was about that. He is basically smoking weed every night, so I was greatly amused by his nervousness. A shame they won't boot him off the team for that.

Jcakes
09-05-2012, 05:49
That is a shame, I thought they might have done that. I am not sure what would happen if I tested positive for Cannabis.

korialstraz
09-05-2012, 10:18
No point, we're playing the same games anyway.

Fair enough. I wouldn't be able to share though! :P


131... you...I...

Lol. :D



That's way too many. way. Too. Many.

You are crazy.

I'm telling you I'm not crazy, the steam sales are! :badteeth:


How many of those games have you actually played?

Ehm.... >_>

72, although quite a few of those I never finnished. :P

Btw the 131 count is including all the small indie games as well as expansion. So it's not 131 unique/different games.


You'd think Steam would just cut him off after the first 100. Just say no. And close his Steam window, leaving an error message that says "Go outside". I am disappoint, Valve.

Hahahaha. :D That would actually be kinda epic for a second. And then...(could be NSFW) NERD RAGE! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBeAjISBb2U)


You guys don't have a Wii do you? It does tell you to go outside after you've played a while.

Nope I don't, but I've played it at a friends house. >_>

Jcakes
09-05-2012, 12:14

I am hoping this is not a spam bot, because if it is they need to work on thread title reading :)

kestegs
09-05-2012, 12:21
Raaageeeee!!!

I am real, very real, but I do like getting other mods to do my dirty work there's nothing wrong with that!

Also if you could give a disclaimer about content with language/NSFW that would be nice :nod:

korialstraz
09-05-2012, 14:03
I assumed you meant the song I linked, added disclaimer, although there wasn't that much bad language in it was there? o.O

pancakeman
09-05-2012, 15:40
Or he meant mine, which I practically rewrote the HTML for incgamers to say was NSFW.

korialstraz
09-05-2012, 21:08
I didn't really read anything here that would be considered NSFW, but I know Yourfavoritemartian has some songs that would definately be NSFW. I just didn't recall the one I posted being one of them, hence the confusion. >_>

kestegs
09-05-2012, 23:03
Actually I kinda meant both of you. If it wouldn't be okay to write it here then do a warning when you a link it. I think kor's had maybe 5 f,s,a bombs and pcm's had one or two.

No big deal really, especially not in an ot thread.

Jcakes
09-05-2012, 23:45
Out of interest kegs, is it ok to embed a video in spoilers if you warn that it is NSFW / not PG?

kestegs
10-05-2012, 00:05
Yea, I've got no problem with that :nod:

korialstraz
10-05-2012, 00:25
Well got a small NSFW tag there now, so hopefully you won't temp ban me while I sleep because someone complained about it. =P

Jcakes
10-05-2012, 00:29
I think you should temp ban him anyway :)

pancakeman
10-05-2012, 00:52
I think thatOHNOWHEREDIDYOURSIGGO?

The quote from crepeman has disappeared!

Jcakes
10-05-2012, 01:13
It has indeed.

Thy asked me politely to remove it so I did. Post something else funny and I will quote it :)

kestegs
10-05-2012, 04:32
I think I'm the only one that was complaining :p

So we can't say crepeman anymore ?

Jcakes
10-05-2012, 05:24
No it has nothing to do with crepeman, if you want to discuss it Pm me.

Otherwise can we please end this discussion.

korialstraz
10-05-2012, 14:04
WOOT! Did some D3 preperation shopping. Let's see...

12 liters of cola, check!
2 liters of red bull, check!
various other energy drinks, check!

Now the food remains. And some cleaning... which I told myself to do like a week and a half ago. xd

kestegs
10-05-2012, 15:10
2 liters of red bull is a lot!

I just need a new mouse, haven't found time to get over to best buy yet.

Muggs

Yep all set.

Well it isn't when you think about it. I mean it's not like I'm going to consume all that during one night. I might as well shoot caffeine straight into my veins then. :crazyeyes:

A new mouse eh? Have you figured out which one, or are you just going to look at a few and go with the one that looks best/most comfortable?


Did my preset up too.

Lawl. Is she really going to bring you food at the comp while you play? O_O =P

Muggs
10-05-2012, 15:30
Lawl. Is she really going to bring you food at the comp while you play? O_O =P

If I ask her to she will. She knows how excited I am about playing the game and that I have set aside time to do it. And she does that now when she makes dinner yells down the stairs if I want to come up and or bring it down when I am working. Of course I would do the same for her when I am cooking etc. We are cool like that.

pancakeman
10-05-2012, 15:42

G5.

My preparation for D3 extends only to buying D3. And maybe a case or two of Mountain Dew. What else could a man need?

kestegs
10-05-2012, 16:01
Actually I'm going to stop at best buy right now!

My uncle is a doctor, maybe he can get us some caffeine ivs!

pancakeman
10-05-2012, 16:07
Four liters in one day is my record, and is a record that will likely stand for some time. I felt really bad. Like for realsies, man.

Muggs
10-05-2012, 16:35
4liters of Mountain dew? I think I would hurl after the shakes subsided.

kestegs
10-05-2012, 16:35
That's absurd...truly.

If I ask her to she will. She knows how excited I am about playing the game and that I have set aside time to do it. And she does that now when she makes dinner yells down the stairs if I want to come up and or bring it down when I am working. Of course I would do the same for her when I am cooking etc. We are cool like that.

Sounds pretty damn awesome! You're a lucky guy. =)


Actually I'm going to stop at best buy right now!

My uncle is a doctor, maybe he can get us some caffeine ivs!

Let us know which mouse you end up with! :jig:

caffeine ivs? Sounds... like you'd be jacked up for quite a while. But the shakes might ruin your gaming experience. :P


Four liters in one day is my record, and is a record that will likely stand for some time. I felt really bad. Like for realsies, man.

Four liters of? Sorry if you said this already and I didn't see it.

My record is either 6 or 9 liters of cola in a day. :o

Glad you see you are up and running at full steam.

I got a Microsoft g 4000 mouse. Simple, but fits nicely in my hand, and I didn't want to drop a lot of cash on it.

Muggs
11-05-2012, 12:41
Mice have come a long way and you get a lot of mouse for not a lot of money these days. The biggest reason I got a better mouse is so I could turn off acceleration and use DPI to compensate. And the ability to change the weight.

kestegs
11-05-2012, 12:46
Yea, I saw some with weights and thought that was funny.

This one is wireless, never used a wireless on my desktop before.

Autti
11-05-2012, 12:47
changing mouse weight is easy, go to local fishing shop and buy some sinkers, place inside mouse shell with tape. Who needs to pay $50 for that. Where are your getto hacking skills muggs!

kestegs
11-05-2012, 12:48

Why do you want to change the weight anyways?

Just remember to keep it charged. I had a wireless mouse but would always forget to charge it and then couldn't play.

heavy mouse means more force to move, which means you can use a higher dpi and have more precise shorter movements for the same cursor movement distance. it reduces fatigue a lot, and also benefits twitch shooting by being able to "snap" across the screen.

The trick is to wait until it feels like your bladder is about to explode before taking a piss the first time. That way it'll still be at least a couple of hours, if not more until the next time. To that twice in a row, and you're set for a long gaming session and cola/mountain dew/beverage of choice binge drinking. ;D

I have never understood why gamers drink soft drink....

korialstraz
11-05-2012, 13:23
Soft drinks? As in non-alcoholic? Rest assured I have nothing against a drop (or a whole bottle) of alcohol when gaming, but for D3 I don't want to end up too drunk to absorb the story. >_>

I believe he is referring to soda or carbonated sweetned beverages like Coca-cola, moutain dew etc. I can see not wanting to be drunk although bowzer might disagree with me and I also do not like drinking soda either. I prefer water or coffee and the occasional iced tea.

korialstraz
11-05-2012, 13:31
Ahh. Well I've been cutting down on soda and stuff like that lately and stuck with water. I actually don't like drinking water that much, but it's my own fault, as I managed to become a cocaholic. A few years ago I lived for probably a couple weeks on only cola and food, no water or milk or anything else. Maybe the occasional iced tea or a different kind of soda, but for the most part it was only cola. People say you become dehydrated, and that you have to drink water some time. I beg to differ, having lived around 14 days on mostly cola. >_>

I can't despise coffee though. Tastes so bitter and just... UGH! >_<

kestegs
11-05-2012, 13:45
I pretty much only drink water.

Jcakes

I love coffee, if I end up doing a gaming session while the wife is away I will likely be drinking this.

It is a misconception that drinking only caffeinated beverages dehydrates you but your body does not get the same amount of fluids from a similar sized soda since caffeine is a diuretic. It is the sweeteners in the soda that is really bad for you.

Oh I've no doubt only living off of cola or other kinds of soda are bad for you, but since at that time I never really looked into the whole "soda will make you dehydrated!" thing, I just learned through actual testing. :P

Oh for sure! They can give much better feedback as well than actual guinea pigs!

Not sure about this, but to me it felt like I became somewhat dehydrated from drinking cola, but considering I drank anywhere from 2-3 liters a day, I didn't notice it until I started cutting back on soda consumption. But I might've only noticed it because I drank way less water a day compared to how much cola I used to drink a day.

But sometimes I do feel as if soda can make you feel dehydrated if you don't drink anything else before/after it.

I have a g9x and I have had zero issue with it after a couple years of gaming. I must be lucky because I still have my original g15, and a g19, and a G9x all served me extremely well over the years.

My last mouse was wireless and I hated it only because I would forget to put it on the charger so it was dead when I wanted to play.

korialstraz
15-05-2012, 15:11
@Mag:

So far up until act 2 (guessing about 1/3 or halfway through it now, I've not seen a legendary fist weapon as quest reward. So unless the lvl req is around I guess 23-25+ I'd say random chance to find items is random. Either that or there are less monks playing than other classes, which means those items stay on the AH for longer.
