09:05 <@dasunt> Fox / Comcast wants to merge?
09:06 <@Corydon76> Eh?  Comcast owns NBC.
09:06 <@Corydon76> Owning Fox would be a massive consolidation
09:06 <@dasunt> That's what CNN is reporting.
09:24 < aestetix> ok so
09:24 < aestetix> I know I said the nintendo e3 thing was heavy on smash
09:24 < aestetix> but looking at reactions
09:25 < aestetix> apparently there is a huge smash fanbase and they all loved it
09:30 <@Evilpig> because smash is fun as hell
09:32 < aestetix> I've never played it
09:38 <@dasunt> Biggest local news story:  A raccoon climbed a skyscraper.
09:59 <@oddball> Yeah.  There's a giant Smash Bros. player base.  There's actually a pretty active tournament circuit for the games.
10:17 <@Evilpig> I want to see more gameplay footage of let's go picachu to see if I want to play that at all
10:17 <@Evilpig> I'm not happy with the hokey shit they've added and the tie in to pokemon go
10:34  * dasunt must be old, since he needs to look up "Smash Bros" on Wikipedia to figure out what game this is.
10:34 <@oddball> Especially since the first Smash Bros came out nearly 20 years ago? :p
10:41 <@dasunt> Yah, around the time of the Nintendo 64, I kind of moved away from gaming.
10:49 <@Evilpig> smash was probably the top game on the wii other than mario kart
11:03 <@dasunt> I think I've played it once or twice.
11:08 <@eryc> as a teenager we used to take psychidelics and play smash brothers
11:09 <@eryc> if i wasn't playing i would sit behind my friends and practice mind control
11:12 <@dasunt> So potentially dumb question - doesn't a pardon remove the 5th amendment protection for testifying?
11:16 <@dasunt> Like if A is accused of a crime, is convicted and pardoned, and all of a sudden prosecutors wants to ask A about B's role in the crime, A can no longer plead the 5th, right?
11:31 <@oddball> Interesting argument.  I would think that the courts would still rule that that would be compelling someone to testify against themselves.
11:32 <@oddball> Of course, similarly, legally speaking, for someone to be pardoned, they have to already been convicted/confess.
11:36 <@dasunt> Not with Nixon, IIRC.
11:36 <@dasunt> But I thought 5th amendment didn't apply if you had immunity.
11:39 <@ezelkow1> on the fox comcast thing, this has been going back and forth for months now (i just keep track because of work)
11:39 <@ezelkow1> but the proposed merger does not include foxnews and other specific entities
11:39 <@ezelkow1> its mostly the movie studio, and a few of the tv properties, but mostly movies
11:40 <@ezelkow1> and comcast is also trying to gain control of sky, though unrelated but still related to fox cause of murdoch
11:43 <@dasunt> So Comcast wants to deliver poor service and poor content?
11:43 <@ezelkow1> anyways, comcast has been holding out on fox to see how the att TW thing played out, because if that passed then theres a good chance a comcast fox deal could pass
11:47 <@ezelkow1> I hope it goes through, but thats also my vested interest in my paycheck expanding as well as the visibility and power of the group I work in
12:41 <@dasunt> FFS.
12:41 <@dasunt> Keep me in the dark, feed me shit.
12:43 <@dasunt> Mushroom management.
17:26 < TheDukh> So, apparently the band playing at Derbycon this year is the Offspring.
19:15 <@_NSAKEY> TheDukh: Aren't they also having Vanilla Ice perform?
22:19 <@Dagmar> I hear the secret guests are Nickleback
