<ctate>
FOAF’s writeup of a
recent Kraftwerk show.

<em> ctate: do you know what show that was? because the pre-encore cellphones-instead-of-lighters thing happened at the Seattle show.

<ctate> dunno

<em> but, well, enough people were holding their phones up to take pictures during the show that it seemed like a natural progression

<ctate> aha! it was indeed the Seattle show a few weeks ago

* em feels a rush of hometown geek pride

<ctate> you were there?

<dsandler> cellphones-instead-of-lighters, really?

<em> yeah. it r0x0r3d

<dsandler> these truly are the End Times

* dsandler . o O ( the Talk/End Times? )

<ctate> the word of the day is ESCHATON

<dsandler> Isn’t that the word of every day?

<dsandler> Recently, anyway?

<ctate> hm, i haven’t checked the Rapture Index lately.

<ctate> wars are up but i think plagues and volcanos are down, so it’s a wash.

* dsandler sometimes gets the feeling that this world is the Mars Rover—very nearly at the end of a good run, and then, inexplicably,
“Time Extended!”

<ctate> when you juuuuust barely coast in under the checkpoint after desperately popping it in neutral to squeeze those last few pixels in

<em> but sooner or later we’ll be on our backs in a crater, manipulators and sensors waving feebly…

<bcombee> oooh! I want “Mars Rover Racing” for the PS2!

<bcombee> You turn left, and fifteen minutes later, you see the rover turn left as you get pictures back from Mars!

* darryl is now known as darryl-doc

<pixelknave> half pipes on
Burns Cliff!

<darryl-doc> bcombee++ ; // heh

<dsandler> bcombee++; // Gran Turismo: Olympus Mons

<em> > tell rover to turn left

<em> * the rover says nothing

<em> > inspect datastream

<em> * ye cannot inspect ye datastream!
