#musicbrainz

"Up until the last moments of the game, anyone can win!" is a listed right on the box.

Yup.

_Dave_: I guess so, but #musicbrainz-devel would be a better venue to ask.

(That is, I can't remember how to run the tests off-hand. It should be documented somewhere though.)

ok I'll do that

I think of any -devel channel as "don't talk there unless you are pushing changes to it" :)

MB's a little more loose in these regards.

thankfully so

The boardgame chat isn't exactly strictly on-topic either. :)

Indeed

but people went there so I did too...I don't get on IRC much anyway

Yep. We're generally not too strict about being on-topic, unless there's a meeting or some crisis going down - but those are usually handled in -devel and you'll be told to "please wait" if you blunder in and don't realise it before it's too late.

huh, BGG doesn't have a status for having played a game, but do not own it.

hmm. I guess you can do that by not checking a status, but adding a play

kepstin-laptop: yeah, I was gonna say…just hit 'record a play' on the upper right

Just to get this slightly on topic, who wants to add http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/34400/singin... to Musicbrainz?

wait

musicbrainz handles board games now?

_Dave_: It handles music releases, regardless of form.

I think we have at least one boardgame soundtrack in the db already.

At least two.

There are several more by Flying Frog Productions which could be entered.

so that would mean video game music is in there too?

yup.

definitely, there's lots of that

There's also plenty of non-music audio, simply because people have wanted it there. E.g., audio books.

Sound clip CDs.

Etc.

Speaking of which, I've been waffling on the contents of https://soundcloud.com/dirtypotter

wait, what the hell is "cosmic encounter" and why does everyone casually know it

to my excuse it had music and talking on it

and is kind of interesting in that it was made by phillips "creators of the cd compact disc technoloy" as they say on it

Cosmic Encounter is an awesome board game

I don't have links handy like most people but google it

CatQuest: apparently we have an intersection of musicbrainz folks and boardgamers in the channel at present. :-)

hmm I dunno if I've played a Cosmic Encounter before. Description sounds vaguely familiar.

me neither

is it like Risk?

to me it's the best board game ever, but someone will likely challenge that

it's a meta game

you have rules, then you have cards/powers that break the rules

and it's quite social...at times you'll negotiate deals

the only interesting/wack board game I know is flodhesten i badekaret. and nobody wll know that soo...

I can't even pronounce that O.o

pity, because it's eally hilariously funny

hum.. hippo in te bathtub? idk

CatQuest: Was it ever released under any other name (in another language)?

I wouldn't know.

Google isn't showing me anything relevant

but the whole hippo in the bathtub thing waskind of the running joke and on the logo so it would have that

Freso: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_Encounter

freso! \o/

I’ve played Cosmic Encounter twice…once about a year ago, and once about a week ago

I first played at caltech in the early 80s

I think it’s held up much better than any game approaching that age

someone got drunk and decided (because he was losing badly) to piss on the game

when he sobered up he bought me another copy

and then he bought me a 3rd copy

Wtf...

wikifeet.com...

I've been holding on to the last two copies since 1982

_Dave_: But not the first copy?

no lol

that would be an emphatic "hell no"

:-)

anyway it's an original Eon set

and likely somewhat valuable, if aging

Mayfair re-released the game sometime later

and changed the rules

(not that I like looking at men's feet any more than womens feet, but it seems a ridiculou standard)

dafuq am I looking at... O_o

It just popped up in some search results, while looking up an MB artist. :p

:D

is this the first time Freso has run into the foot-fetish people?

Freso: What artist were you looking for? One who moonlights as a fetish model?

CallerNo6: Not really.

Welcome to the INternet

anyway, yeah, it's pretty disconcerting to google a woman and have her feet be in the top auto-complete suggestions.

CatQuest: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/Walmart-...

This is the main downside of foot fetishes

you people who like to touch and be touched by other people are weird :-P

(unless it's full-contact sparring or tango, of course)

considering that website talks about batman catching joker and a teletubby stealing food I don't really take it seriously.. isn't it like the onion?

hnn it's soo windy and now it's rain

i better go try levle up this dumb pupitar and go to bed

natta all

Freso: there *are* ISRC databases out there ! :) i know one for french SCPP, one for japanese MINC that I do use, and I know there is a taiwanese too or something like that → https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ISRC#External_reso... :)

but not so many indeed… it depends what you edit :)

british too
