[02:23] <bkerensa> c_smith: Do you own a WII?
[02:23] <bkerensa> c_smith: The problem is Microsoft, Nintendo and Playstation want to keep their networks and game servers seperate
[08:31] <bkerensa> Everyone is asleep at 1:31am in here :P
[08:31] <bkerensa> #OSU-Lug is still rocking :P
[08:31] <Oregonian> bkerensa: Error: "OSU-Lug" is not a valid command.
[16:44] <tgm4883> bkerensa, thats not it
[16:45] <tgm4883> I mean, they do want to keep their servers separate, and why that is a single reason it isn't something that can't be worked around
[16:46] <tgm4883> The issue is that nobody wants to pay online to play a game such as MW3 (or any FPS)
[16:46] <tgm4883> WoW gets away with it since it's so immersive
[16:47] <tgm4883> the games aren't usually hosted on any sort of dedicated server for console gaming. It's usually hosted directly from one of the consoles
[16:47] <tgm4883> If the game creator wanted to, they could host the server and allow cross platform gaming
[16:48] <tgm4883> but that costs money
[16:49] <tgm4883> the other way would be to somehow merge the three services (wii, psn, xbox live)
[16:49] <tgm4883> or at least allow connectivity between them
[16:49] <tgm4883> Not sure if that would introduce too much lag though
[18:10] <c_smith> yello
[18:21] <MarkDude> hello c_smith
[18:21]  * MarkDude is currently pondering how much he does not like Dora the Explora
[18:21]  * MarkDude is watching niece now
[19:14] <MarkDude> Oregon bot needs this learned >>> alis volat propriis
[19:18] <MarkDude> The official English version of the motto is "She Flies With Her Own Wings,"
[19:25] <bkerensa> tgm4883: What???? People dont want to pay to play MW3 online?
[19:25] <bkerensa> LOL
[19:25] <bkerensa> MW3 is going to be the best selling game of 2011 and likely 2012.... With DLC and XBL fees were talking hundreds a year just to play it
[19:26]  * bkerensa pays $59 a year or whatever for XBL and the I will likely get Call of Duty XP which is another $59 for all DLC
[20:06] <c_smith> meh, just got back
[20:09] <c_smith> if you pay for internet connectivity in console games, I laugh at you, the Wii (and PS3 too, I believe, but not sure on that one) has internet connectivity like XBL FREE!!!
[20:09] <c_smith> but you still have to pay for DLC.
