Sburb Delta

You are a teenage kid who is about to start an EPIC QUEST.
What do you do?

Charlie: pester everyone about the amazing game you ordered illegally from Hacker Jack!
-Katy does not yet have a chumhandle
-Ella has been pestered
-Freya is awaiting pestering, but she probably knows about Hacker Jack's scandalous deals already!

[05:31] DE: It's not a word, its a thing.
[05:31] DE: A Thing. With a capital T
[05:31] WL: no results, is it an acronym?
[05:31] WL: (please not T for trope :<)
[05:31] DE: No... I don't know what it is... Maybe its the name of the protagonist?
[05:32] WL: heh
[05:32] DE: Sburb, mighty hero of the city!
[05:32] WL: acronyms can be nifty though
[05:32] WL: whattabout the s? you said "sburbs"

[05:34] WL: heh
[05:34] DE: That is what S.B.U.R.B.S stands for now.
[05:35] WL: heh
[05:35] DE: So, it is a multiplayer thing.
[05:35] WL: one more step out of vague-ety
[05:35] DE: I am planning on organising a whole GROUP of people on Sburbs.
[05:36] DE: You me, someone else, someone else, a monkey and another person
[05:36] DE: Sounds like a plan?
[05:36] WL: ...so how did you hear of this epitome of vagueness?
[05:36] DE: THIS is the epitome of vagueness?
[05:36] WL: urgh, whatever
[05:36] DE: YOU are the epitome of vagueness
[05:36] WL: >:D
[05:37] WL: (I admit that I was looking back over prior chatlogs...and even I don't get some of the things I was on about)

[05:37] WL: STOP AVOIDING THE QUESTION
[05:37] WL: stopdat
[05:37] DE: 8
[05:37] DE: Eight

[05:37] DE: Darn it, even I'm using your vague code words
[05:38] WL: :D
[05:38] WL: heeheeheeheehee
[05:38] WL: XD
[05:38] WL: :3
[05:38] DE: NO ONE WILL CARE IF YOU MENTION EIGHT'S NAME IN A CONVERSATION. MOST PEOPLE HAVE NOT EVEN WATCHED D-

[05:39] -- windbourneLiterate [WL] began pestering draconicEntomologist [DE] at 17:39 --
[05:39] WL: :p
[05:39] -- windbourneLiterate [WL] ceased pestering draconicEntomologist [DE] at 17:39 --
[05:39] DE: Um.... Sorry
[05:39] DE: Um...
[05:39] WL: heh
[05:39] -- windbourneLiterate [WL] changed their mood to CHUMMY --
[05:39] DE: meow.
[05:39] DE: So, Sburbs
[05:41] WL: so this thing, why're you so into starting it?
[05:41] DE: You get to muck around with people's houses!
[05:41] WL: is it like, the multiplayer equivalent to the dragon knight saga to you on some level?
[05:41] DE: NOTHING IS LIKE THE DRAGON NIGHT SAGA TO ME
[05:42] DE: EXCEPT FOR FRANKLYN
[05:42] WL: (heee)
[05:42] DE: AND ROMANTICALLY APOCALYPTIC
[05:42] WL: and Skulduggery
[05:42] WL: and RvB
[05:42] DE: Indeed.
[05:42] WL: and Portal 2, there, your whole pentagram
[05:42] WL: :)
[05:42] DE: Quite a list of obsessions there... *hugs plush cthulhu*
[05:44] WL: ...so how is the insanely vague, mucking around with houses, related to multiplayer doings?
[05:44] DE: Well, it somehow makes a model of your house or something? And other people move stuff around for you. And you advance levels and make awesome things with your stuff... or something...
[05:45] WL: hmmm...that word awesome...hmmm...
[05:45] WL: has someone whose played it been talking to you about it?
[05:45] WL: (*who has)
[05:46] DE: Actually, no. Hacker Jack has been avertising his wares to me again.
[05:46] WL: *facepalms*
[05:47] WL: now, I can see the value in him upgrading graphical calculators to be able to set things in natural surd form blah, but has any of his other stuff been...well notable
[05:47] WL: ?
[05:48] DE: Um... He once posted me a sandwich
[05:48] WL: XD
[05:48] DE: Not many people post sandwiches.
[05:48] WL: says it all huh
[05:48] WL: heh
[05:48] WL: okay, since you're mentioning it, I'll go look on Steam, see what it says
[05:48] DE: Sburbs is so expensive everywhere elso though
[05:49] DE: It will cost about a million pounds from Steam.
[05:49] WL: you haven't looked! :P
[05:50] WL: ...I think the inconsistancy in your spelling may have lead to error
[05:50] DE: My spelling is inconsistently bad
[05:50] WL: I found this iddy thing after searching "sburb", the first result
[05:50] WL: hm
[05:50] DE: Ah right.
[05:50] DE: How much does it cost?
[05:51] WL: it's one of these greenlight things
[05:51] WL: can't tell how long it's been there
[05:51] WL: pretty minimal on description and images
[05:52] WL: ...so how much do you think we're gonna get out of this? our first ever multiplayer game
[05:52] WL: wait, co-op or not?
[05:52] DE: Um...
[05:52] DE: I don't know..
[05:53] WL: how long's this thing been out? maybe we(well, you, non-steam-user) can wait for prices to drop on amazon or something
[05:53] WL: (and for someone to write a decent description)
[05:54] DE: It's so indie that it cannot get near the Amazon, you know? Because the Amazon and Indonesia are so far apart on the map?
[05:54] WL: indie is not indonesian
[05:55] WL: I can even go check where Valve's HQ is
[05:55] WL: I'm betting NA
[05:55] WL: ...there we go, founded in the US
[06:00] WL: ...
[06:00] WL: don't tell me you're in the position where you got this thing and are looking for someone to try it out with...right now
[06:00] DE: Nope
[06:00] WL: kay
[06:00] DE: Some friends of mine have also got stuff from Hacker Jack
[06:01] WL: ...sburb again? or other stuffs?
[06:01] DE: Sburbs. Once we all have a cope FUN CAN BEGIN
[06:01] DE: *watches Franklyn in celebration*
[06:02] WL: what's the constraint on player numbers?
[06:02] WL: (or are you too busy now, heh)
[06:03] DE: *pulls self away from the beauty of Meanwhile City* hmmmm? Oh yesh... maybe? I don't think so.
[06:03] WL: ...hm I like some of these symbols about, I'll give it that
[06:05] WL: so you're all keen on playing this thing that Hacker-with-Sandwich has successfully "sold" to you, am I right?
[06:05] DE: Yesh!
[06:05] WL: ...okay, I guess I can take a look
[06:05] WL: I would have liked it better if there was a demo, but fine
[06:06] WL: right now, stuff is messing up on my computer
[06:07] DE: Games like this cannot be demo'ed, or so he told me. 'Once in a rifetime', he said, 'rike skylim arrother again'
[06:08] WL: so we're getting into skyrim analogies, hm.
[06:08] DE: Sorry... Just I do like it... DOVAHKIIN DOVAHKIIN NAAL OCK ZIIN LOS VAHRIIN!
[06:08] WL: right now, there's this message that keeps coming up repeatetively, the browser's messing up and even photoshop is faltering. overall stuffs is messing up on my computer
[06:09] DE: Ah. :(
[06:09] WL: look, I think I'll download it, after I restart my computer
[06:09] WL: heh
[06:09] WL: bad policy to try new software on a recalcitrant computer no?
[06:10] DE: indeed
[06:10] WL: so I'll be back to kick start the download in a bit

[06:29] -- windbourneLiterate [WL] began pestering draconicEntomologist [DE] at 18:29 --
[06:29] WL: phoof, made it
[06:29] DE: Hallo!
[06:29] WL: Hi
[06:29] WL: it ended up doing a CHKDSK, and I had had to switch of manually, so I'm kinda worried that maybe I should do a scan before downloading this thing
[06:30] DE: Indeedle
[06:30] WL: full scan or short?
[06:31] WL: if it's a full scan, I'll leave it to tomorrow, as those things take like an hour and a half or so
[06:31] WL: short ones are more like quarter of an hour
[06:31] DE: Full scan, it may not be trusted, unlike Hacker Jack's copy.
[06:32] WL: you mean this space which has not had some new hicky downloaded from Steam on it yet?
[06:32] DE: Hmmm? Sorry, I was watching Franlyn.
[06:33] DE: FRANKLYN
[06:33] WL: I hope you weren't planning on starting this tonight, I'm not keen on the prospect of sitting through the hour and a half long scan
[06:34] WL: and I was wanting to watch this series' finale of leonardo
[06:34] WL: tonight
[06:34] DE: AHHHHHHHHH G2G
[06:34] WL: kay
[06:34] -- draconicEntomologist [DE] ceased pestering windbourneLiterate [WL] at 18:34 --
