In which Alex gives a running commentary to Iwata's GDC keynote speech, and gets into an EPIC RANT. Irrelevant stuff cut out, log still ENORMOUS.
Posted by request of those who missed it on chat ;D.
[18] <DoctorOak> lol, Iwata's already running late
[18] <DoctorOak> watch for all the Mac fanboys running out of the front row
[18] <baratron> why will the Mac fanboys be running out? presentation by an Apple person about to start?
[18] <DoctorOak> yes
[18] <DoctorOak> the iPad2 is about to be announced
[18] <Teapot> lol that's an obvious poke at CoD
[18] <Secad> Oh goodness.
[18] <Secad> XD
[18] <DoctorOak> there goes one!
[18] <DoctorOak> GASH
[18] <DoctorOak> WHERE'S MY POKEMON MMO
[18] <DoctorOak> BITCHWHORE
[18] <DoctorOak> GOD I HATE YOU IWATA
[18] <Teapot> right, bouncing over to Gizmodo
[18] <DoctorOak> IT'S OVER
[18] <DoctorOak> QUICK FANBOYS
[18] <DoctorOak> RUN
[18] <Secad> I'm not a Mac fangirl, don't worry. But didn't the iPad just come out a few months ago?
[18] <DoctorOak> YOU'LL MISS THE MESSIAH'S STATEMENT!
[18] <Secad> The Gerbil is here?
[18] <Secad> OMG!
[18] * Secad kidding
[18] <DoctorOak> the iPad will have been out a year this summer
[18] <DoctorOak> ie: when the iPad 2 comes out
[18] <baratron> gods, i want an iPad so badly
[18] <baratron> there is a new MacBook Pro out and i am so sad that mine is no longer the newest model!
[18] <Secad> I could make so many menstruation jokes. XD
[18] <biomechArtisan> ......... o____________________________________________________o
[18] <Teapot> Secad: and yet you won't.
[18] <baratron> and richard has been winding me up, telling me i need to throw mine away since it is old now
[18] <DoctorOak> no Baratron
[18] <DoctorOak> bad Baratron
[18] <Secad> They come in a box for about five bucks.
[18] <Teapot> oh, I've been ragging on my Apple fanboy friend all day about his obselete iPad.
[18] <DoctorOak> go to your shed and think about what you've done
[18] <baratron> if you can afford one, an iPad is THE best thing for reading scientific papers on
[18] <Secad> Does about as much as the iPad can--no Flash, just stuffing.
[18] <baratron> and you can use Papers to organise them all
[18] <DoctorOak> I want a Motorola Xoom
[18] <Teapot> me too
[18] <DoctorOak> what they should do
[18] * Tunnugles has quit (Quit:
http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[18] <DoctorOak> is immediately after the iPad 2 announcement
[18] <DoctorOak> announce that the Xoom is coming out the day before
[18] <DoctorOak> for 50 cheaper
[18] <Secad> Pounds or dollars?
[18] <Secad> Where is it out first?
[18] <DoctorOak> oh god
[18] <DoctorOak> I need to actually for real just slap steve jobs around the face with a brick
[18] <Teapot> oooh
[18] <Teapot> Beyond Good and Evil HD.
[18] <DoctorOak> "Jobs says most of their revenues comes from their post-PC products the iPod, iPhone and iPad."
[18] * Secad and the gerbils hand Alex a brick
[18] <DoctorOak> post-PC products
[18] * DoctorOak vomits at such nonsense
[18] * Tunoodles has joined #pokecharms
[18] * Secad hands Tun ramen
[18] <Teapot> DoctorOak: I don't know why you're even reading a live feed, you know you'll hate anything they say
[18] <Tunoodles> Why thank you, Secad ;o
[18] <DoctorOak> I don't know either
[18] <DoctorOak> for example
[18] <DoctorOak> 90% of the market share for tablets
[18] <DoctorOak> THERE IS NO FUCKING TABLET MARKET
[18] <DoctorOak> it's the iPad and the Galaxy Tablet
[18] <baratron> Steve Jobs is possibly dying in any case, so no need to slap him around the face with a brick.
[18] <DoctorOak> of course you're going to fucking have the majority share
[18] <Secad> What about for artists?
[18] <DoctorOak> those are different tablets, Secad
[18] <Secad> Ah.
[18] <DoctorOak> "A logo of Androids Honeycomb flashes up, with just the number 100? underneath. "
[18] <DoctorOak> oh what
[18] <Secad> Thank Gerbils I am not an art major.
[18] <baratron> and remember there's significant correlation between tablet PCs and eReaders
[18] <baratron> some people get a tablet PC rather than an eReader
[18] <Secad> You can do more, ofcouse.
[18] <baratron> i personally would, if i could afford one, because i can't stand electronic ink
[18] <Secad> *of course
[18] <DoctorOak> yes
[18] <DoctorOak> I'd rather get a tablet than an eReader
[18] <DoctorOak> but I'd never sully myself to waste money on an Apple product
[18] <DoctorOak> I'd rather get a decent tablet that I can do what -I- want with it
[18] <DoctorOak> rather than what Steve Jobs thinks I should want
[18] <Secad> Isn't that what advertising is supposed to do?
[18] <Secad> It is supposed to change your wishes to meet a company's
[18] <Teapot> ooooooh
[18] <Secad> either that, or try to appeal to one.
[18] <Teapot> I can afford Beyond Good and Evil HD \o/
[18] <DoctorOak> it's not advertising though
[18] <DoctorOak> it's the actual product
[18] <Secad> A wish, that is.
[18] <Tunoodles> ... stupid brain
[18] <Tunoodles> Why won't you work D:
[18] * DaftSoul has joined #pokecharms
[18] <DoctorOak> "This video is filled with Apple execs talking about how awesome the iPad is, says Ars. "
[18] <DoctorOak> a video about the iPad with a lot of self-congratulating nonsense?
[18] <DoctorOak> never...
[18] <Teapot> as I said earlier
[18] <Teapot> DoctorOak: I don't know why you're even reading a live feed, you know you'll hate anything they say
[18] <Secad> :3
[18] <DoctorOak> I knoowwww
[18] <DoctorOak> but I also want to see just how bad the iPad 2 is
[18] <Secad> XD
[18] * Secad has quit (Quit: (this is really messing up my concentration, but it was fun. Thank you))
[18] <DoctorOak> ""What about 2011?" Steve says. "Everybody's got a tablet. Will it be the year of the copycats?""
[18] <DoctorOak> they're copy cats for creating competition?
[18] <DoctorOak> seriously?
[18] <Teapot> well, we've got two rumours confirmed
[18] <Teapot> two cameras and a gyroscope.
[18] <DoctorOak> in other words
[18] <DoctorOak> they finally caught up with their own fucking technology
[18] * Tunoodles sads
[18] <DoctorOak> dual core is interesting
[18] <DoctorOak> but it's all proprietary Apple chips
[18] <DoctorOak> so it could be utterly meaningless
[18] <Tunoodles> I read that as 'butterly'
[18] <Tunoodles> and I imagined chips made out of apples with butter on them ; A ;
[18] <Teapot> oh, black and white.
[18] <DoctorOak> "you'd think we'd have to give up some of the iPad's legendary battery life" "but our engineering team found a way"
[18] <DoctorOak> it's called
[18] <DoctorOak> DON'T HOLD IT THAT WAY
[18] <DoctorOak> and then magically it has longer battery life
[18] <DoctorOak> and can't connect to anything
[18] <DoctorOak> but the two aren't related
[18] <DoctorOak> nnnop
[18] <DoctorOak> e
[18] <DarkSoul> ...xD
[18] <DarkSoul> iPad's aren't always that bad. Angry Birds HD is awesome, and the iPod system works fine :>
[18] <Teapot> Angry Birds on the Mac is quite fun.
[18] <Teapot> And shite on Android.
[18] <DoctorOak> iPad2 is out next week
[18] <Teapot> well, my Android anyway.
[18] <DoctorOak> correction: shite on shite phones
[18] <DoctorOak> :x
[18] <DoctorOak> my Nexus One runs it perfectly
[18] <Teapot> yes, well, you can afford a decent phone.
[18] <DoctorOak> "and we think 2011 is the year of the iPad 2"
[18] <Tunoodles> True :x
[18] <Teapot> I got a Hero and I like my phone.
[18] <DoctorOak> wow Steve Jobs talks some utter nonsense
[18] <DarkSoul> I've got an LG Cookie, it's alright.
[18] <DoctorOak> ok
[18] <DoctorOak> too annoyed at the nonsense to continue reading any more of this
[18] <DoctorOak> I'm going to go and urinate a better product
[18] <DoctorOak> brb
[18] <DarkSoul> ...
[18] <baratron> anyone think that Alex is too opinionated for his own good sometimes? ;D
[18] <DarkSoul> Y'know, sometimes I get the feeling Alex isn't much of an Apple fan. For some reason.
[18] <Teapot> baratron: ;D
[18] <biomechArtisan> Too opinionated for his own good mayhap
[18] <biomechArtisan> But personally
[18] <Teapot> that case looks actually kinda nice.
[18] <biomechArtisan> I loathe Apple and anything they could possibly cough up. XP
[18] <DoctorOak> Apple are an awful company, with awful practices, awful products and an awful, awful man at the top
[18] * DarkSoul slowly backs away from chat, hiding his iPod behind his back
[18] <Teapot> 'bout time someone innovated on cases.
[18] <Tunoodles> xD
[18] <DoctorOak> which makes it all the more annoying that they have a cult-like following of devoted morons
[18] <Teapot> Oh, well, I run OS X, so shush.
[18] <Teapot> I would be an Apple fan if I could afford it. :3
[18] <DoctorOak> why though
[18] <DoctorOak> it's a serious question
[18] <DoctorOak> everything apple puts out
[18] <Teapot> because they make good shit.
[18] <DoctorOak> there is a far better product on the market
[18] <DoctorOak> and it's often cheaper
[18] <DarkSoul> What Data said.
[18] <DoctorOak> it makes no logical sense to want an apple product
[18] <Teapot> Alex, I am not saying "everything Apple make is good"
[18] <Teapot> I am not saying "I prefer iPhone to Android"
[18] <Teapot> I don't.
[18] <Teapot> but as far as OS X goes, as far as the iPods go, there isn't better right now.
[18] <DoctorOak> pfft
[18] <DoctorOak> mp3 players were a product of the 90s
[18] <Teapot> And yet they still make a fuckton of money.
[18] <Teapot> And everyone has one.
[18] <DoctorOak> you don't -need- an iPod killer
[18] <DoctorOak> you just need a good phone
[18] <DoctorOak> as for OS X
[18] <DoctorOak> it may look good against windows
[18] <DoctorOak> but A)
[18] <DoctorOak> you need the hardware to run the software
[18] <DoctorOak> it comes as one massive, ugly, overpriced package
[18] <DoctorOak> which you -don't- need for windows
[18] <DoctorOak> and B) Ubuntu puts both to shame anyway
[18] <Teapot> Bollocks to that.
[18] <Teapot> Speaking as someone who loves Linux,
[18] * Tunoodles is now known as Tun|Foooooooooooooooooooooood
[18] <Teapot> Ubuntu is in no way suitable for the average person to use yet. If it ever is.
[18] <DoctorOak> no
[18] <DoctorOak> the average person has Windows
[18] <DoctorOak> that's what it is for
[18] <DoctorOak> for the average person
[18] <Teapot> the thing with OS X is that I wouldn't mind giving it to my grandmother, who is dangerously technophobic.
[18] <DoctorOak> they don't need anything more than what Windows offers
[18] <Teapot> and, honestly
[18] <Teapot> this argument is silly.
[18] <baratron> Teapot: that, exactly
[18] <baratron> it is almost impossible to break OS X
[18] <DoctorOak> that makes no sense though
[18] <DoctorOak> OS X has a radically different interface to Windows
[18] <baratron> Windows breaks itself if you look at it wrongly.
[18] <DoctorOak> which, arguably
[18] <Teapot> well, it's impossible to break it unless you're me, in which case it explodes regularly.
[18] <DoctorOak> is the interface of 'a computer' to any and all tech illiterates
[18] <Teapot> But real Macs don't explode XD
[18] <biomechArtisan> ...
[18] <biomechArtisan> yet.
[18] <DoctorOak> you don't need to confuse it more by bringing OS X into it
[18] <biomechArtisan> give me some time
[18] <biomechArtisan> ...
[18] <biomechArtisan> >>;;;
[18] <Teapot> that's... not strictly true.
[18] <Teapot> OS X is a simple concept.
[18] <Teapot> Click dock icon, get thing.
[18] <DoctorOak> more to the point
[18] <baratron> don't you DARE explode my Mac, Stel
[18] <DoctorOak> say your Granny goes off to the shop
[18] <DoctorOak> comes back with a program that says it is for a computer
[18] <DoctorOak> puts it into her iMac
[18] <DoctorOak> and then blammo
[18] <biomechArtisan> Yours can stay.
[18] <DoctorOak> it doesn't work
[18] <DarkSoul>
http://www.mickeystiletto.com/wp-conten ... saturn.jpg
[18] <Teapot> I have two words for you.
[18] <Teapot> App Store.
[18] <biomechArtisan> But just because I like you.
[18] <baratron> DON'T tell me about computer stores.
[18] <Teapot> It's more than slightly evil, but by god does it work.
[18] <DoctorOak> she won't know there's any difference
[18] <DoctorOak> hell
[18] <baratron> my mother has Windows XP, right?
[18] <DoctorOak> people stil fail to grasp that an Xbox game won't play on a Playstation
[18] <DoctorOak> *still
[18] <Teapot> well that's hardly the operating system's fault.
[18] <baratron> so she went to the PC World, and bought "the ONE mouse that was capable of running on her computer".
[18] <baratron> because ALL the others said they were for Vista or Windows 7
[18] <baratron> it's a MOUSE
[18] <baratron> a USB MOUSE
[18] <baratron> it runs on fucking ANYTHING that's modern enough to have a USB port.
[18] <Teapot> Protip: Apple Store.
[18] <DoctorOak> conclusion: Old people shouldn't be allowed computers
[18] <DoctorOak>
[18] <baratron> morons in the shop couldn't tell her that
[18] <Teapot> Where the people are trained to deal with idiots!
[18] <baratron> yes, the Apple Stores are amazing.
[18] <DoctorOak> what
[18] <DoctorOak> no
[18] <DoctorOak> sorry
[18] <DoctorOak> but
[18] <DoctorOak> no
[18] <DoctorOak> even if I liked Apple
[18] <Teapot> They were really nice to me, and I was only there to poke around.
[18] <DoctorOak> I couldn't begin to even stand the Apple store
[18] <DoctorOak> it genuinely feels like a fucking church
[18] <baratron> lol
[18] <Teapot> ...
[18] <baratron> what exactly is your problem with Apple fanboys? how are they different from Nintendo fanboys?
[18] <DarkSoul> The Apple Store in Oberhausen was awesome. xD
[18] <baratron> yes, i agree, buying EVERYTHING that has an Apple badge on it is silly.
[18] <DoctorOak> I guess it's that Apple Fanboys are
[18] <baratron> i don't want an iPhone. can't stand the things.
[18] <DoctorOak> A) more aggressive
[18] <DoctorOak> and B)
[18] <DoctorOak> utterly, utterly wrong
[18] <DarkSoul> Nintendo has better games?
[18] <baratron> how is it sillier than buying everything that has a Nintendo badge on?
[18] <DoctorOak> at least Nintendo earned their fanboys by making good games
[18] <biomechArtisan> See
[18] <biomechArtisan> the issue I have with Apple tards
[18] <biomechArtisan> is the fact they're all so...
[18] <baratron> Apple earned their fanboys by making good computers!
[18] <biomechArtisan> smug about it.
[18] <DoctorOak> but they didn't!
[18] * Belle has joined #pokecharms
[18] <Teapot> Apple fanboys can go die. I'm not talking about Apple fanboys.
[18] <DoctorOak> Apple made good computers as Apple Mac
[18] <DoctorOak> without Steve Jobs
[18] <DoctorOak> Steve Jobs comes along
[18] <baratron> i didn't MEAN to become smug, but this MacBook Pro is SO MUCH better than ANY PC i've ever owned.
[18] <baratron> i love it to bits.
[18] <Teapot> And makes them very very successful, DoctorOak
[18] <DoctorOak> sacks everyone that's making existing stuff for their company
[18] <DoctorOak> and then turns the company into a true den of evil
[18] <biomechArtisan> I remember the days where MACINTOSH used to simply stand for Most Applications Crash, If Not, The Operating System Hangs
[18] <biomechArtisan> admittedly they got a bit better since
[18] <DoctorOak> but, honestly
[18] <baratron> i hated Macs pre-OS X
[18] <DarkSoul>
http://www.omg-facts.com/
[18] <DoctorOak> the original competition between Macs and PCs was TOTALLY different
[18] <DarkSoul> ♥
[18] <baratron> they were horrible beige machines with an obscure interface
[18] <DoctorOak> 'cos the market was infantile
[18] <biomechArtisan> but yeah. Macs seem to be the computer-de-jour of elitist fucks
[18] <DoctorOak> both in hardware and in software terms
[18] <Teapot> the thing is, Stel
[18] <DoctorOak> both companies did things wrong
[18] <Teapot> I hear what you're saying
[18] <biomechArtisan> not saying that ALL of them are
[18] <biomechArtisan> but
[18] <Teapot> until very recently, I agreed
[18] <biomechArtisan> the MAJORITY seems to be
[18] <biomechArtisan> and frankly
[18] <DoctorOak> .:184123:. @biomechArtisan but yeah. Macs seem to be the computer-de-jour of elitist fucks
[18] <DoctorOak> this is so the truth
[18] <DoctorOak> "I use a Mac, therefore I am better"
[18] <DoctorOak> better, of course
[18] <Teapot> but Macs, OS X, whatever, is genuinely better.
[18] <baratron> i don't think i am better because i use a Mac
[18] <biomechArtisan> Again
[18] <baratron> i think i'm LUCKIER because i had a Mac bought for me
[18] <DoctorOak> because they spent 500 more for their hardware than I did for my equivilent
[18] <biomechArtisan> I'm not saying EVERYONE is
[18] <biomechArtisan> but
[18] <biomechArtisan> yeah
[18] <baratron> this computer ROCKS
[18] <Teapot> I'm a rare type who got a Mac without paying the tax.
[18] <biomechArtisan> a LOT are.
[18] <baratron> i didn't pay for this computer at all
[18] <Teapot> And I think the OS - just the OS - is infinitely better than Windows.
[18] <baratron> the government did
[18] <biomechArtisan> Data
[18] <biomechArtisan> I could write an OS better than windows
[18] <biomechArtisan> with two sticks
[18] <biomechArtisan> and a rock

[18] <Teapot> biomechArtisan: well you're doing better than everyone else.
[18] <biomechArtisan> XDDDDDDDDDD
[18] <DoctorOak> OS debates are pretty pointless as far as I'm concerned
[18] <DoctorOak> I love Ubuntu
[18] <DoctorOak> but no matter how awesome it is
[18] <DoctorOak> it's useless
[18] <DoctorOak> you need Windows
[18] <DoctorOak> everyone needs Windows
[18] <DoctorOak> you cannot run your day-to-day life without it
[18] <baratron> i've been managing pretty well for the past 8 months
[18] <biomechArtisan> Well, yeah. the major reason I run with Windows is the fact it's mostly compatible with -MOST- things
[18] <DoctorOak> see
[18] <DoctorOak> this is the thing
[18] <DoctorOak> you want to play games?
[18] <Teapot> so have I XD
[18] <DoctorOak> you need Windows
[18] <DoctorOak> you want to do work?
[18] <DoctorOak> you need Windows
[18] <baratron> every single piece of software i need runs on my Mac
[18] <Teapot> ... why?
[18] <biomechArtisan> and you don't have to fight clover-leaf-space-bar-meta-what-the-fuck keys
[18] <Teapot> All the work I do is on OS X.
[18] <DoctorOak> OS X has one minor benefit over Ubuntu
[18] <baratron> the only PC game i've ever played is The Sims, and it runs on Mac
[18] <DoctorOak> in that Adobe make their products for it
[18] <DoctorOak> but that's it, really
[18] <Teapot> Office 2011 and various free tools.
[18] <DoctorOak> I wouldn't work on a Mac
[18] <baratron> well, don't, then.
[18] <DoctorOak> running a server set up emulated in Windows is bad enough
[18] <Teapot> yes, but you hate them.
[18] <DoctorOak> but in a Mac
[18] <DoctorOak> it's completely removed from all reality
[18] <Teapot> ... Alex, I do web development on a Mac.
[18] <baratron> Windows servers suck.
[18] <DoctorOak> that they do
[18] <Teapot> And I had a Apache server out of the box.
[18] <biomechArtisan> TL;DR, all computer systems have their high points and a lot of pure unrefined fail.
[18] <baratron> it horrifies me that there are so many vital databases out there running on bloatware that will fall over every 5 minutes.
[18] <DoctorOak> I'd run all my development on Ubuntu if I oculd
[18] <Teapot> biomechArtisan: THIS.
[18] <DoctorOak> but no native adobe support makes that a pain
[18] <baratron> UNIX rocks.
[18] <Teapot> Unix is amazing.
[18] <biomechArtisan> HL: Sure, if you have a fucking rosetta stone.
[18] <biomechArtisan> ... or a decent GUI
[18] <biomechArtisan> whatever happens first
[18] <Teapot> Well we do have Rosetta.
[18] <Teapot> ;D
[18] <DoctorOak> .:184539:. @biomechArtisan TL;DR, all computer systems have their high points and a lot of pure unrefined fail.
[18] <DoctorOak> yep
[18] <baratron> i've used versions of Linux with GUIs virtually identical to Windows XP
[18] <DoctorOak> and Apple gets an extra 2 points of fail on top of everyone else for being Apple
[18] <DoctorOak> thus
[18] <baratron> they do exist
[18] <DoctorOak> I win~
[18] <DoctorOak>
[18] <Teapot> they suck, msotly, but they exist
[18] <Teapot> XP's interface was never great, it was just workable.
[18] <DoctorOak> I dunno why anyone would bother with that to be honest
[18] <biomechArtisan> Technically, Windows pretty much yoinked the interface format they've been using for like ages from /Xerox/.
[18] <DoctorOak> the Gnome set up is far superior
[18] <DoctorOak> you may take a few days to get used to it
[18] <DoctorOak> but it's just so much better
[18] <Teapot> well... GNOME basically just does what you configure it to do.
[18] <baratron> Alex ALWAYS has to win!
[18] <DoctorOak> well
[18] <biomechArtisan> HL: He's ALEX.
[18] <DoctorOak> yes
[18] <DoctorOak>
[18] <Teapot> I've just decided I've won already. :3
[18] <DoctorOak> but you haven't
[18] <biomechArtisan> I've decided that you all lost.
[18] <DoctorOak>
[18] <DoctorOak> I won
[18] <DoctorOak>
[18] <Teapot> Keep telling yourself that, dear :3
[18] <biomechArtisan> Moral of the story:
[18] <biomechArtisan> Arguing on the internets
[18] <DoctorOak> Apple is the devil and Steve Jobs is satan~
[18] <Teapot> oh, yeah, I was watching a Battlefield 3 video for no good reason.
[18] <Teapot> biomechArtisan: is pointless, yes
[18] <biomechArtisan> Is like participating in the Special Olympics
[18] <biomechArtisan> Even if you win
[18] <DoctorOak> and anyone that buys an iPad 2 is a moron
[18] <biomechArtisan> You're still retarded.
[18] <biomechArtisan> and on that note
[18] <biomechArtisan> I decree this discussion over
[18] <Teapot> motion seconded.
[18] <DoctorOak> I don't
[18] <DoctorOak> you all don't agree with me yet
[18] <biomechArtisan> Also on the subject matter of iPads: I'm sure they have some use for someone out there
[18] <DoctorOak>
[18] <baratron> speaking of which
[18] <biomechArtisan> I just fail to see its use as far as i'm concerned.
[18] <biomechArtisan> and even if I did
[18] <biomechArtisan> I wouldn't give all my ribs and several vertebrae to afford one!

[18] <DoctorOak> but I wouldn't mind the money back :x
[18] <Tunfrog> Kero, kero o:
[18] * Belle pulls Tun into the not-an-OS-argument-corner
[18] <Belle> ♥
[18] * Tunfrog is pulled into the appropriate corner :'D
[18] <DoctorOak> I don't even know why it got down to just the OS
[18] <DoctorOak> I don't even have anything specific against OS X other than that it's a pointless thing 'cos you'd have to buy the full Mac package to use it
[18] <DoctorOak> which isn't worth the five universes it costs
[18] <baratron> yeah
[18] <baratron> i find that slightly silly, considering there isn't all that much proprietary inside the Macs these days
[18] <baratron> Intel processors
[18] * DarkSoul joins Belle and Tun in the corner
[18] <baratron> NVidia graphics cards
[18] <Tunfrog> Dark ♥
[18] <Belle> DS ♥
[18] <DoctorOak> I think Apple's actually just given me a headache
[18] <DoctorOak> SEE
[18] <DoctorOak> EVILS
[18] <biomechArtisan> Honestly
[18] <Belle> Schtellu- I think if I do an <s>, I'm gonna use the first like, 30 seconds of Libera Me from TTGL's soundtrack :V
[18] <biomechArtisan> Apple are responsible for the original sin
[18] <biomechArtisan> and by that
[18] <biomechArtisan> I mean
[18] <biomechArtisan> by falling on Newton's Head
[18] <biomechArtisan> and being responsible for that douchefuck inventing Calculus AND certain parts of physics.
[18] <biomechArtisan> >>;
[18] <Belle> .... yeah Newton's a dick.
[18] <baratron> i think RANTING gave you a headache, Alex
[18] <baratron> rise in blood pressure
And then we got onto religion, which would be a whole other post in itself (and inspire epic ranting from others, no doubt).
Edit:
[21] <DoctorOak> FYI
[21] <DoctorOak> I didn't do the topic
[21] <DoctorOak> I did, however, do a brilliant Electivire themed one last night
[21] <DoctorOak> and everyone is going to be banned for not logging Stel's reaction to it
