05:25:02 <RodgerTheGreat> bsmntbombdood: one day, you will beat your father at risk, and you shall truly be a man
05:25:39 <RodgerTheGreat> the only two board games I still love to play are Monopoly and Risk, which are unfortunately the games that everyone seems to get pissed about losing
05:25:57 <pikhq> I'd add chess to that list.
05:27:26 <RodgerTheGreat> I enjoy chess, but I find that Risk and Monopoly, by adding a random element yet still relying heavily on strategy, hit the "sweet spot" of strategic gaming better. Good planning and judgments are rewarded, but if you're screwed you can always make a long-shot last stand
05:27:57 <RodgerTheGreat> plus, you have the whole diplomacy metagame to work with that chess completely lacks
05:31:01 <RodgerTheGreat> ok, so different topic- tell me what you guys think of this as a premise for a video game:
05:32:08 <oklopol> before you say anything: i love it
05:32:36 <RodgerTheGreat> A cabal of meteorologists have developed technology capable of massively altering and controlling the world's weather patterns.
05:33:48 <RodgerTheGreat> World governments are plunged into chaos as hurricanes, thunderstorms, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes shatter cities and infrastructure.
05:35:57 <RodgerTheGreat> The only hope for humanity's freedom lies in an elite army-for-hire of some of brilliant engineers and scientists with the technology and manufacturing capabilities to fight back.
05:37:18 -!- GreaseMonkey has joined.
05:50:12 <immibis> of some of the world's most?
05:50:29 <immibis> i mean, of some of the world's most brilliant?
05:51:32 * immibis doesn't know what you're supposed to do in that game anyway as RodgerTheGreat never mentioned it.
05:52:06 * immibis doesn't have an opinion in that case.
05:52:16 -!- g4lt-mordant has changed nick to galt-notreg.
05:52:21 <RodgerTheGreat> you'd likely play as a civil engineer, taking on the forces of the Weathermen on a battlefield.
05:52:52 <immibis> why would a cabal of meteorologists want to destroy cities?
05:53:21 <RodgerTheGreat> A cabal is a number of persons united in some close design, usually to promote their private views and interests in a church, state, or other community by intrigue.
05:53:24 -!- galt-notreg has changed nick to galt-sb100.
05:54:35 <RodgerTheGreat> They're attempting to conquer the world as revenge for what they perceive as being trivialized by both the public and the scientific community (cartoonish, yes, but the game is intentionally a bit tongue-in-cheek)
05:55:45 <immibis> i suppose they don't destroy other meteorologists' houses then?
05:56:09 -!- galt-sb100 has changed nick to g4lt.
05:56:33 <RodgerTheGreat> we'll assume that the subset of meteorologists comprising said cabal live in secure bases and residences.
05:56:37 -!- GreaseMonkey has quit ("Every time you screw up AWOS, GreaseMonkey kills a kitten.").
05:57:13 <immibis> and other meteorologists not belonging to that cabal?
05:59:32 <bsmntbombdood> and you should immitate http://durota.ru/games/2/2420/play.html11
06:02:53 <RodgerTheGreat> immibis: my main question is, do you find the overall idea at all intriguing? Would you be interested to know how a story like that played out?
06:03:54 * immibis doesn't know. immibis would be if it were to happen in real life, to him, of course.
06:04:30 <RodgerTheGreat> alright, I'll chalk that one up as "intriguing premise. develop further."
06:07:25 <immibis> ---> is <--- anyone else here?
06:07:44 <immibis> [17:32] <oklopol> before you say anything: i love it

18:31:34 <ehird`> esoteric idea: write C, using qwerty, but with your keyboard layout on dvorak
18:39:36 <ehird`> a C coder who uses qwerty, sets the layout as dvorak in their os
18:39:41 <ehird`> then codes C in their editor as usual
