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 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 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.
