Squid Division

I suppose we can turn them into audio IRC servers

Be sure to play our favorite PAX game: count the N7s

Sounds good

Now that you can see more of your character, is there any character customization?

Out of curiosity, how many people do we have here that would be interested in a casual Thumbs fantasy football league? 8 teams is kind of the minimum for an enjoyable league, and 20 is the maximum possible.

So Sam is just hanging out with Mulder's sister then? Mystery solved.

ESPN is actually doing a Fantasy for Beginners podcast over here if anyone might be interested in that.

I kinda live in the area and will be there for every day but Saturday. We'll have to get some Weinhandling action going.

Basically you pick players for your team, and the website tracks their stats throughout the season. The stats give you an amount of points per player, and those are added up to a team total for the week and if you have more points than your opponent for the week, you win the week. If your win/loss record is good enough, you go to the playoff tournament and play your way towards the championship.

Press All Claims doesn't always show up for me, so I'm not sure if you have to meet specific requirements for it to appear. Many times I've had the option to declare war on someone and am given the option of picking from 3 or 4 different Cassi Belli, but can't press all claims, so it takes 30 years to get those territories.

If you've never played one then it's even better? I've been interested in it, but with everything else coming out soon, it might fall to a winter holiday game for me.

I've tried playing CKII multiplayer several times, and the desynch issues were god awful, and that was with only 2 people, in relative proximity, on good connections. So, god speed. Pro tip- make sure everyone's game seed is the same otherwise it won't work at all (the number on the main menu). If you go to start a game and back out to the main menu it'll change the seed, so basically everyone will have to start the game and immediately go to connect to the multiplayer game, lest anything else change the seed number.

Never been to Berlin, but I've always wanted to go to see the Ishtar Gate and Pergamon Altar on Museum Island.

I spent a lot of time in the Undead Burg because I kept getting killed by the Taurus Demon. What that area does is really beat the mechanics and spirit of the game in you. Just be patient until you feel that the zombies are no threat. It gets to a point where you're comfortable enough with your character that I was able to progress rather comfortably between checkpoints, which I think are more generous than people give them credit for (except for when you're just starting out, then they feel miles and miles away). Just get comfortable with your character - find a weapon whose damage and speed you like, and armor whose protection and speed suit you. My problem was actually the bosses. I got stuck on Quelaag and haven't been back in a few months. Not even phantoms were able to help.

Is that guy Iron Man?

Everyone really talks up Super Mario 3D Land and really talks down the New Super Mario Bros one. If it's been a while since you've played Ocarina of Time, I can highly recommend the 3DS port, it looks fantastic and the game absolutely holds up. I've been playing a bit of Fire Emblem, and I'd kill for some Valkyria Chronicles games on 3DS. They made two of them for PSP, so there's no reason it shouldn't work right?

So is it people buying the console for the future exclusives or for the games coming out at launch? As a split 50/50 PC/Console guy, I see nothing compelling to bring me away from just playing the PC ports of these games, so I guess I'm addressing the people that also have PCs that could play these games. I agree with Will Smith of Tested.com - buy stuff for what it is, not what it's going to be.

So you crazy people who are already buying PS4s, what games have you seen to convince you to do so? While PS4 over Xbox may seem obvious, I haven't seen anything to justify either console in their own right yet.

I think you can send mail if you're best friends with them. Not sure though.

I've got an extra shovel and fishing rod, if anyone needs one. Anyone have a bug net? I really should have looked at how long it takes fruit to regrow before I sold all mine

I have apples, so I'll be up for trading tomorrow. I planted some oranges too, we'll see if they make it. I've added both of you. My code is: 1349-5069-7774

So Animal Crossing is pretty cool. Head over here and drop your friend code so we can exchange fruit, etc. I've got apples and, if all goes well, oranges.

Always a robot. Usually Gretel in TS2 and some other robot in TS3. I opened up this page to try to jog my memory of who I played as in 3, and man I forgot about how awesome the characters were.

Top row is probably a lock except for the motion controls not responding, since those will probably all be videos.

I'll be at work unfortunately, and these are always so much fun, someone should post chat logs in this thread for posterity (and blackmail).
