There should be another IRC channel so I can idle in it.
Let's start an IRC channel. I'm tired of Facebook's shitty chat client and getting hacked and spamming people about McDonalds.

Binary moral choice is a bad game mechanic. It's restrictive and basically forces players to endure a game that's twice as short as it ought to be two times instead of just once, and have a FAQ at the ready to make sure they're staying on the appropriate good/evil path to get the best reward for being dedicated to good/evil. This doesn't open a world of moral choices for the character to weigh against what they believe, it just restricts players to decide which half of the game they feel like playing. The other half will probably just be a quick trip to YouTube to see what was missed.

IMO the best games pick a story, and tell that story really well. If you want an interesting moral choice game, just play D&D.

do you want an irc server? I'll start one if people use it, but I doubt that'd happen

If there's a web interface for IRC I will use it.

There is a web interface for IRC but seriously what point is there for one that's not already handled by this website, Facebook, etc.

I can't have a conversation on this website, and people can't join and leave a Facebook convo. I want to chat with people while I'm in the office.

/me would enjoy it.

Well I mean I guess it's nice for dropping in and out of a conversation asynchronously. I thought you meant as an addition to IndyDDR or something.

I didn't have anything to do with it, but it's been done in the past. I think it got used for a couple weeks and passed into oblivion.

Chad got super pissed that his Facebook page was hacked by McDonald's so now he's being contrarian and trying to get people to chat with him on IRC since I won't switch over to Google+ just so I can chit chat with Chad and he needs people to chat with at work.

In all honesty though I don't blame him, I think a chat room would be neat so us working stiffs can have a distraction from work. No one wants to take the time to write long thought out posts while they are on the clock so having little bite-sized conversations on a chat room would be pretty neat!

Looking forward to the next Kingdom Hearts game where Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Luke Skywalker fight heartless in the Death Star. Lightsaber keyblade is pretty dope.
