Me three! I feel like the guy that throws a party and the keg hasn't arrived yet. "ummm, I swear it should be here any minute guys"

In all seriousness, I'm not too familiar with IRC's and any advice is most welcome. mibbit seems to be down.

I know we're having problems with IRC and all, but EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT:

Yes

In the meantime I'm watching the hivemind play pokemon. It's terrifying and frustrating. But there's something soothing about that music loop. dat childhood, yo.

I jumped into this thread for a tiny break from studying and this is one of the best things I've ever seen. You can tell they randomly managed to hit 'name this pokemon something else' -- AAAAABAKK -- and then sometimes got stuck with 'Pidgeot'.

EDIT: how the fuck did they evolve a Pidgeot I've been watching for ten minutes and they haven't left the room they were in when I turned it on.

EXACTLY like I watched them try to cut a plant out of their way for SO LONG and then I look away and then all of a sudden they're on the other side of the hedge, plant not cut.

It took them a solid 15 minutes to get Eevee out of the free pokeball on the table in that one guy's house. I just want to know how they got up there in the first place with everyone pressing random buttons.

i'm just getting more intimately acquainted with my Pinot while we sort this out...

ecib  ·  3937 days ago  ·  link  ·  

me as well. Waiting to here hear more from thenewgreen or mk. Just was chatting with them on Google Hangouts

thenewgreen  ·  3937 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I want to get on IRC as well. mk, any advice?

PS

Here's my lineup:

_refugee_  ·  3937 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Three! That is quite the number. I hope you are swilling and spitting, my friend.

thenewgreen  ·  3937 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Umm.. sure I am.

humanodon, I've never heard that 30 minutes was the magic number but allowing a red wine to "breathe" really does transform how it drinks. If you have a wine with harsh tannins, it can really do a good bit to smooth them out.

sounds_sound you get bottle?

humanodon  ·  3937 days ago  ·  link  ·  

That just seems to be the rule of thumb I've heard most. It's probably just a reasonable guess or whatever.
