So I looked at the Games forum because I wanted to look at the Stellaris thread and oh poo poo ESA is today?

And there's a new emote? :fluffy:

Not gonna be able to round-the-clock this one though, I don't think.

That's a lot of Red Bull. Do they have that for the interviews or for the overnight runs?

I have never heard of D.va, but a quick Google search tells me she is from Overwatch where she does this:

Also her in-universe backstory includes that she was a professional StarCraft 2 streamer before she went into South Korea's MEKA unit to fight mecha godzilla.

Also in her 'sit down' emote she starts using her MEKA to stream a video game in between eating Doritos and drinking Mt. Dew.

D.Va is cool and good.

So, fun fact about the Red Bull, if I have everything correct: ESA Winter was sponsored by Red Bull. We got free Red Bull and Red Bull Cola, and there were Red Bull brand fridges of varying sizes in the venue.

The fridges you see on stream and some more in the stream room are the same fridges as on ESA Winter. Red Bull doesn't sponsor this ESA, but apparently they never came to get their fridges back and we had a whole lot of Red Bull left over too. So... free ice cream, free popcorn, and free Red Bull. And a discount at the local Domino's from which I just ate a pizza that was definitely too big but whatevs, next time I'm getting a smaller size though.

I hope Red Bull has a long shelf life. :v:

I've had a red bull only once I can recall. I thought it was fine, but too expensive to buy regularly.

Well, yeah. More so than SGDQ, even.

I can't remember if I played the original of this game. I know I played a Mickey game on the Genesis as a kid. I think it had Mickey and Donald in it, though.

overwatch fan canon is adorable and great. i wish i had it saved but there was like a tweet or a tumblr post that went something like

Blizzard: overwatch is about the terrible consequences of war
Internet: this one's the mommy, this one's the daddy and this one's the baby.
Blizzard: but
Internet: they're getting mcdonalds

I'm guessing this had a role to play in Blizzard making D.Va themed baby clothes. :allears:

What about millipedes?

I tried to find it, but reverse GIS was no help.

Once a millipede gets past a certain size it has to understand that entering my field of view will put its life in jeopardy. :black101:

Okay our strat here is to buy lots of gold so we can buy the +300% EXP potions off the Auction House, then spam dungeon finder.

Also apparently Hearthstone is on the schedule. Specifically one of the PvE runs, League of Explorers.

It's a shoop of a poster from Stand Still, Stay Silent which is a fantastic comic about magic returning to Earth after an apocalyptic plague. (In it, cats are considered holy because they were one of the few sentient animals to not be turned by the Illness, and everyone keeps them around to detect evil and kill rodents. There are military-issue cattes.) Go read it.

Nope! It forms a close family with Estonian, and it has major similarities with Hungarian.

e: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uralic_languages#Grammar

Hm. Could've sworn I heard about a language from that part of the world that seemed unrelated to any other language. Or mostly unrelated.

I'm guessing this game came out around the same time as Warcraft 3.

this gives me a brilliant idea: Twitch Plays Couch Commentary

put twitch chat on one of those ipads-on-a-segway and have it TTS the most copy-pasted phrase from twitch chat from the previous 10 seconds every 10 seconds

If you allow text it'll just be "N____R" over and over.

If it's reading off the codes for emotes, uhh, TriHard?

Yeah that was kind of my thought as well as soon as I looked over. It doesn't seem like there's any give in that headset's cable. Like at some point over the next two hours either something's coming unplugged, or something's gonna fall off. :ohdear:
