[mindnomad]

Well, turns out I'm stupid and I wasn't using my NVIDIA Graphics Card to it's fullest. Now I am
So Now I can use this cool shader mod for Minecraft. Have a look:

[B-Man99]

Woah that looks sweet
You think that would work with Photo Realism?
Wait
Oh my
Is Photo Realism even a thing anymore?

[Cake]

Gonna go back to my old avatar tomorrow again

I changed in the meantime for hatninja

...'cause my 2-year anniversary of being on this site is tomorrow!

I think we should all celebrate these
considering that most of us signed up in march 2 years ago
back when Mari0 was released.

[renhoek]

So I'm going to assume the stick of truth's going to  _______   _________  when it comes out in Australia and I'll  _________   ___________  but that's assuming the game and the  ___  don't  __________   __________  and everyone uses walky talkies instead of  _______   ______ 

Also after seeing footage of the new Yoshi Island game I'm not that exited like I usually am for these games, I'm going to wait for a review before I make the final choice however. (I'm not optimistic) Also what happened to Yarn Yoshi that looked way more interesting.

[Cake]

Hooray for anniversary day!

Yeah, I'm not too excited about Yoshi's New Island. I mean, I loved the original, but YNI (weird acronym...) just doesn't show anything new. If I hadn't gotten the GBA Yoshi's Island over Christmas, I probably would buy YNI.
I guess I'm going to have to wait for a review, too.

Speaking of which, I found it odd that Nintendo never released SNES Yoshi's Island on the virtual console. Perhaps the graphics chip that came with the game wasn't supported by the emulator...?

My prediction: if Yarn Yoshi's not shown at e3, then it's canceled.

[B-Man99]

2 days before a piano judge-competition thing and I played Rondo Alla Turque (ugh why are all of the songs we had to choose from classical :/) ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY!

And then my hand was friggin smashed by a basketball an hour later.
Can't even move two of my fingers. Jesus christ.
If anyone needs me I'll be drowning myself in Snapple so I don't have to drown in self pity.

Wow good job life this is totally convenient thanks for getting me injured when there was nothing major going on this is sarcastic fuck you

I think that's the joke.

Also this means that if I said I was going to do anything to you guys it's probably pushed back a few days since one of my hands is completely useless

EDIT: Skye said this is funny so I'm gonna put it here

[3:07:44 PM] Bruan Stuckwool: HI THERE NATHAN
[3:07:48 PM] Bruan Stuckwool: HOW ARE YOU
[3:07:59 PM] NJ Holt: good
[3:08:03 PM] Bruan Stuckwool: BECAUSE MY HAND IS MORE USELESS THAN A POTATO

[Flutter Skye]

I hope you hand will get better soon!
Also I'm saving that conversation for future laughs.

[B-Man99]

Thanks Skye; it means a lot.
Glad you laughed 'cause at least I know I'm still funny even though I'm in excrusiating pain
Actually when it first happened I looked down at my bent hand and laughed hysterically for like 5 minutes straight with my friend because I knew I was totally screwed and I was also about to cry if I didn't
Still hurts though.
What sucks for me is that I can't play piano AT ALL which is really tricky to be without while songwriting, which I've been doing a shit-ton of recently for reasons you guys may or may not already know

[Flutter Skye]

This may be interesting.

[B-Man99]

REALLY MATURE SKYE

[Flutter Skye]

STOP STALKING ME

[B-Man99]

Skye our humorous ramblings about each other have taken over the chat room.
Are you gonna change that group icon back to the SYS icon instead of, you know, my avatar?

[MM102]

[3:07:44 PM] Bruan Stuckwool: HI THERE NATHAN
[3:07:48 PM] Bruan Stuckwool: HOW ARE YOU

I saw this and freaked out a little bit
I forgot people can have the same name as me

[B-Man99]

Your name's Bruan Stuckwool?! [/jokes]

[HansAgain]

I'm already dead god damn it
Let me rest in peace

At least it was a enemy who killed you:

That teleporter killed me, i had 3 HEARTS!! :(. (Sorry for the bad quality)

[B-Man99]

Teleporters are good for nothing anyway
I didn't know you played Spelunky cool

[Vakema123]

Teleporters are good for nothing anyway

WHOA WHOA WHOA NOW LETS JUST BACK OFF A BIT
Teleporters can be very, very useful to conserve bombs, or to go quickly, if you use it right. If not then your screwed.

[renhoek]

My first try with one ended on the third press as I got teleported into a wall in the corner of the map.

[idiot9.0]

Never trust the teleporter. I kid you not, the first time I grabbed the teleporter, on the first ever use, BOOM in a wall. I never grabbed one after that again.

The lesson here is that the teleporter sucks.

[B-Man99]

if you use it right

Oh sorry there Spelunky master I guess killing Olmec 4 times and having over 1000 "adventures" isn't enough for you "2500+ games played" experts
Go to Hell oh wait you already have
[/jokes]

I'm with idiot on the teleporter though.
Although to be honest I'm dying way too much at the moment anyway.
Because I only have one hand to play with :/

I made it to the black market three times in a row though.
Every single time, an orange frog ticked off the shopkeepers and I died though
This was when I first started. I just got worse and worse the more I played. I'm just gonna rest my hand for a while.
I'll be on steam if anyone needs me I guess
Whatever

[renhoek]

I feel bad because I bought Spelunky on steam and I still haven't installed it...
As well as a few other games...

[B-Man99]

Don't feel bad renhoek

[HugoBDesigner]

I feel bad that I have 4 games on Steam but only "really" played 2...

[BobTheLawyer]

Finally back.

[B-Man99]

I got a kick out of this:

No, like, I saw it and it compelled me to kick a wall for no reason
...
This is one of my favorite honest trailers out of their more recent ones. These guys are funny :D

[MM102]

I feel bad that I have 4 games on Steam but only "really" played 2...

Portal: 102 hrs on record

I'm impressed for more reasons than one

[Firaga]

102 hours on a game is nothing.

I finished “Eats, Shoots & Leaves” recently, and I agree fully with the author about apostrophes, it's/its, your/you're and their/they're/there. It's/its ticks me off the most. WHEN YOU ARE NOT USING ITS AS A POSESSIVE, DO NOT USE AN APOSTROPHE! IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! GAHH!

[Dav999]

I always wonder how people mess up "there" vs "their" and "your" vs "you're". It's not something that ticks me off or something but how do some native English speakers get these kinds of things wrong?

Also, things like "could of" and "lose" vs "loose"...

[alesan99]

Your right, their are many people that mix up those words
I'm just joking if you couldn't tell
I might've messed up those words a few times (probably not on the forums, but in twitch and steam I might mess up)

I have a theory, I think people say it in their head and type it as they "say" it so they won't care how it's supposed to be spelled. Either that or they're just lazy.

I agree with you. I always try to spell correctly. English isn't even my first language, and I get badly impressed how native speakers makes mistakes that I don't.

Not sure if intended, as a joke, Alesan, but...

Either that or they're are just lazy.

[alesan99]

oh. I was going to write they are but I wanted to write the words as much as possible.

[Dav999]

Add "to" vs "too" to the list. For a moment I read "their are to many people" on the first line two posts back...

English isn't even my first language, and I get badly impressed how native speakers makes mistakes that I don't.

Sometimes non-native speakers seem to be better at English than (another one) native ones. Or native ones are just more creative with making mistakes...

[Tesla Sparkle]

Unrelated:
Why was I banned because cooler, 2 days?
Also I am jwright159, just a different account

[TurretBot]

hey cool, it actually says he joined 16 minutes ago

[B-Man99]

Wow good job breaking the rules even WHILE you're banned

Do not make alt accounts. Use one.

[Tesla Sparkle]

Jwright159 is for gaming
Tesla Sparkle is for twatterville and emergencies

[Flutter Skye]

You are supposed to use you first account, no matter what happens.

[Dav999]

Jwright159 is for gaming
Tesla Sparkle is for twatterville and emergencies

I'm sure that will definitely not be counted as having an alt account.

[Camewel]

your a ideot, y du ppl care soo mush about grammer??

[alesan99]

Jwright159 is for gaming
Tesla Sparkle is for twatterville and emergencies

Oh and here are my accounts

Alesan1 = drawing account
Alesan2 = exercising acount
Alesan3 = gaming account
Alesan4 = gaming account backup
Alesan5 = typing account
Alesan6 = joke account
Alesan7 = joke account backup
Alesan8 = joke account backup backup
Alesan10 = where's alesan9? account
...
Alesan99 = main account

Jokes aside you were banned for a reason, so you don't make dumb posts or something.
Making another account will make your original account get banned for longer sooo don't make alts.

[Trist3D]

Jwright159 is for gaming

You're an idiot.

[idiot9.0]

That's my line Trist but you are correct.

[Cake]

I just played that new Mario Kart GP DX, and it was MUCH better than I expected.

It's all in clear HD, the details in the course are amazing, and so on.
I played through a level called Bowser's Factory, and just the entrance to the course looked much better than any other Bowser's Castle.

There were a couple of problems, though:
1) It's a mashup of Namco and Mario characters. I honestly hate it when this happens; I dislike how often the Miis (and their sports resort island) show up in MKW and MK7. TWO whole courses dedicated to something unrelated to Mario? Why? DIdn't they have their own Pilot Wings?
I'm fine with including the Mii as a playable character, but that's as far as it goes.
2) Drifting was messed up entirely. It made you turn less sharply, but it gave you a temporal shield...
3) The game has 3 randomized preset items assigned to you before the race; one to throw forwards, one to throw backwards, and a defensive item. The game has the largest pool of items available, including some only present in Double Dash.
In other words, they screwed up the item system too.

But yeah, I'd love for Namco to help with the main Mario Kart series as these are things that Nintendo has control over.

What are some good gaming podcasts - or better yet, gaming radio? I've been missing the old 2P START! podcast.

[HansAgain]

I was reading articles in Spelunky wiki, when suddenly:

Is there any pot in the real game?

[B-Man99]

There's like the pots that you break and throw and stuff
That sometimes have snakes and other times have gems (and apparently an alien once)

[Vakema123]

(and apparently an alien once)

I'm guessing that its as rare to get an alien in a pot, as it is to get a plasma cannon in a crate.
But about that article, what was the alternate page for classic?
