Looks like I can make it tonight. I'm down for either adventure or whatever.

I went off to dinner earlier and missed that gren and Ely would be joining. It takes a while to experiment and get the battle setup going. So, on the shorter notice, we're gonna have to stick with Adventure Time tonight. Although, there *will* be another proper BattleNova before too long.

I'll shut down the regular game in a few minutes in preparation for loading up the snapshot game. We'll be running snapshot version 14w32d. Don't forget to configure your clients!

Also, I picked a seed that appears to spawn us reasonably close to a few bodies of water. A small ocean biome should be east of spawn and a huge mix of ocean and deep ocean biomes should be NW of spawn. So, maaaybe if we're lucky we can suit up and take on an ocean temple.

I tried to join for the first few minutes, but I need to test out this teamspeak setup (headphones and machine mic) some other time. I could hear, but I could not speak. Ah well. I could only stay for a few minutes anyways. Maybe I'll try again in an hour if everyone is still on.

So it goes.

Well, that was... different!

It didn't go as quickly as I thought it would, but we did eventually find and take on an ocean temple. Next round definitely needs to be a proper BattleNova. What's everyone's availability around the first couple weekends of September?

Here's a preview of the terrain/biomes for the seed we used tonight:

SORRY that I missed the game.
Rowdy: thanks for running your Twitch, I think you saw that I was watching?
I was at the friends' house, trying to be unobtrusive with the iOS Twitch app while we watched the movie about the guy who falls in love with his computer OS.

BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THAT BECAUSE...

Grey: your excuses have worn thin with me.

In fact they have worn out completely.

So you're Obama, or Brad Pitt, or a really sexy actress whose voice we'd all recognize immediately.

Super! I've worked with famous people and screw 'em, I ain't starstruck.

Or maybe you're a fat midwestern housewife.
That's okay too, we have Pscates and we don't judge HIM!!

So: just stop making up excuses why you can't get your voice app to work.

Don't blame your (potentially mythical, now) ladyfriend, don't blame software, don't blame hardware, don't blame sunspots.

Own it.

From now on we're using a word to explain this whole ju-ju-flop situation you're in as "WHATEVER".

Brad overcame his reluctance to talk over the Teamspeak and nobody makes fun of his voice.
In front of him.

So unless you have a debilitating stutter, which is a real thing, or you're actually from Potatohead, Alabama, and are embarrassed of your accent, GET A FRIKKIN MICROPHONE.

You pussy, Mr. President.
(^^ honorific, just in case)



Finally, the Twitch thing is annoying because you can't hear the other players.



Thank you.

Madame Speaker, I give back the remainder of my time.

Also: Hi Becca, couldn't get my doohickey to respond to you before you'd gone

I've tried to explain to you that my smokey, sexy voice is without equal. Panties and pantaloons drop. Point.

I won't be to blame for whatever happens. Too many suitors I've shunned, male and female.

So it goes.

With a nice, thin, trimmed face hair. Salt and pepper. And chiseled features.

She has better tits than I, no question.



Wait what's this……..? Terror Couple Kill Colonel just started playing? I kinda love my music library.

So it goes.

Also, I should post in tori's no-smoke thread. There was an incident, and now I have no smoke need. Also, I have no drink need - tonight is the first beer i've had in over a month. And it's janky.

Interesting things all 'round. Genesis and Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers. Crazy, sappy, scary shit.

So it goes.

The not hearing other players thing is because I don't have the money to drop on a couple different things just yet. I'll be able to set up a better stream before too long, but for now, it's just me on the audio.

Sorry I couldn't make it. I was catching up with an old friend. Conversation went long, then my brother popped over for a beer.

It is what it is. Hopefully Jess provided you all with enough Scherer comedy to keep the joint hopping!

Look forward to next time. Grey, I'm looking at you!
