How easy is it to set up though?

Alright. Weird new software is installed. I have other things to attend, now! And for no other reason than because I can, I shall now shout EXCELSIOR!

@ArdaXi The data explorer? Easy enough, I suppose, though I'm not entirely sure what the motivation for doing so might be.

Q: Free Assaultcube like FPS alternatives?

I am wondering if there are alternative open source (or just free) FPS games like AsscaultCube? I've been playing it for about a year now and I love the fast-paced arcade styled action it provides (can kill 6 people and be killed twice in one minute). The only problem is that I am finding it har...

Well, besides for testing development work on the data explorer, anyway.

@Feeds That's what I was talking about. Fire. Kill it.

@ArdaXi I think that using the SQL Server administration tool is easier than setting up a ASP.NET MVC project for the same purpose, but that's just personal opinion.

Sauerbraten, that's been a while.

@TimStone Harder to share info.

Q: Ps3 and 5.1 sound

Hello all, I have this PS3 that I would like to use for playing but also see some bluray movies... but I also have a nice Tv. I'm wondering if someone could provide me some info about what kind of hardware should I have in order to have those some 5.1 columns for TV + PS3 so that, whateaver a 5...

@LessPop_MoreFizz I see you failed to retag it

I love how it sees game-rec as the most prominent tag.

7:10 PM

It is one of the top tags

Heh, [identify-this-game] is in the first column too.

This is completely off-topic.

I'll cast a meh vote on it

Superuser?

I think so.

Although, they'd migrate it to us.

But the question is about speakers, not about gaming.

7:18 PM

@ArdaXi They don't care

There's the "PS3" word in it

it makes the question magically about gaming

As I said, they'd migrate it to us.

Well, it's hard to say.

The questions is specifically about hardware to be used with a PlayStation 3.

I say, migrate to Bycicles.

Yay [hardware-rec]!

Which is something that the gaming community would probably have the best knowledge of.

7:19 PM

@badp "Stop worrying about speakers, go out and ride a bike!"

SuperUser would send the question: "I'm trying to watch a film on my PS3 but my TV is uncalibrated, how do I fix it?" to us even if PS3 is only used once in a three-paragraph question.

"It's like GT5, but slower and with more realistic damage."

7:46 PM

Should we move to the Die2nite room?

Doesn't it irk you when I move stuff?

→ 23 messages moved to Die2Nite

→ 1 test subject moved to The Relaxation Vault.

@badp Test subject?

@GnomeSlice To keep in theme, right?

@badp I must be missing the theme, then.

I can only offer one bounty at a time??

Yes

I fear that at this rate I will never get an answer about Raptor Safari.

@badp Yes it does. Especially when 'stuff' is my witty quip about superusers migration habits.

Q: Is there any way to customise the location of where replays are autosaved?

Since patch 1.2 you've been able to permanently retain replays by default. My question is: do I have any control of where they're saved or am I forced to use SC2Gears for this purpose?

Q: How do I get more plants for my Zen Garden?

I have recently unlocked the Zen Garden, but there are only 3 plants for sale in the shop and there is tons of empty room in the garden. How do I fill up the garden? Also, I have 2 grave-eating plants in my garden that just kind of appeared with no action taken on my part. Why did this happen?

Q: Is there any way to report players in MW2?

This is terrible. Almost every lobby I join is hacked, especially on S&D and F4A. Yesterday they reset all my custom classes, setting a smoke grenade as my primary weapon. Is there any way to report hackers in MW2 so they get banned, or at least get a warning? I'm on a PlayStation 3 system,...

Q: What does "Touchpad mode" change in Flight Control HD?

Flight Control HD, available for Windows and Mac OS X, has a little option called Touchpad mode. The in-game help says: Ensure "Trackpad mode" is enabled in the options for optimized controls. Well, "optimized controls" is too vague for me. I want to know (exactly) how it changes the gameplay in...

@CRoss Some snafu between the Russian Mail and the Russian Customs

LessPop_MoreFizz

oh football.

Why is the 9 asterisk'd?

there may be more :-)

8 baby's mommas is the frightening part

9:48 PM

And... how does one have 8 mothers, anyway?

@GraceNote Well, @CRoss gave a possible reading: number of mothers his children have

so roughly one each!

There's a term for that: wives

sounds about right.

Or mistresses, as it were

@GraceNote Nah, you don't have to marry to procreate

9:50 PM

@GraceNote wives only count if you put a ring on her

@GraceNote Sounds like a term that would straighten the hair of some antichildmindcrime safety commission somewhere

@badp huh?

I'm a bit pleased that I can't think of a proper term to use. But Mother is not it. It just isn't. You don't put "mother" as a statistic for a person and expect people to not think it means their mother.

@CRoss google.com/images?q=mistress (NSFW, pretty much the point)

@badp it is the accurate term though

the English (American?) language still has to count for something

9:54 PM

It's not US exclusive. Pretty much all forms of English use mistress to mean an extramarital relationship

At least, as far as I've seen

@GraceNote I was just referencing the language battle earlier ...

I figured I wouldn't think about that discussion anymore. 'Tis spilt milk.

Remember the term needs to be understandable by, er, the audience

Every time I see "spilt" I read "split" and think of, er, that miracle.

Moses?

In the realm of football, I would not think Mothers to be more intuitive to the audience than Mistresses.

Which, to me, is justified because the above picture clearly shows someone with 8 of them.

chuckles

9:57 PM

I thought the names were those of the childs :P

indeed, they are nine

and it'd explain the asterisk

I guess the lack of term identifies the lack of importance each woman has had in his life anyway

language win?

@badp If you mean the parting of the sea, yes, Moses.

If you meant the parting of the city to escape the Aqua Pharaoh, that was Reverse Moses.

There's a reverse belair joke in here somewhere.

In other news I'm surprised that a game such as Kururin can be played in real time.

Hey, @CRoss, you run RPG and therefor are good at coming up with names, right?

@GraceNote sortof

why?

10:12 PM

When I'm dry on names, I have difficulty coming up with them.

And... inspiration from names in dreams is... less than successful.

Right now, I need a name for a cute scribe in a medieval fantasy setting. I figure I'll start from there and work it into a wonderful campaign.

Dominicus

ninja

That sounds a bit too high station for a scribe

eh, people who can write in the middle age, their social position isn't low

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GraceNote Any name becomes substantially more awesome simply by adding -Oinus, -Ainous, -Anous, or -Odious to the end of it.

@GraceNote Honestly I use random generators and translate words into less known languages

10:17 PM

-odious doesn't sound awesome...

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Oh really? I guess you won't be badpodious then

Which is a shame, because Badpodious sounds pretty great.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I wanted to avoid the obvious joke but anyway.

@badp I guess you haven't seen Gentlemen Broncos

@GraceNote Favorite Name Generator

Generators are fun. I actually know the guy who runs Seventh Sanctum

@badp You should though, because it's the movie that has this:

Pulseman looks more like a trip than a game.

@GraceNote cool

@LessPop_MoreFizz stop that

But I figure, I can't rely on generators for everything. Maybe, like the scribe herself, I should just hope for inspiration.

As long as my inspiration isn't a priestess named "Cosmo Pagan".

For this upcoming, or are you inquiring about Cosmo?

Q: Has anyone played the Guild Wars 2 Demo Expo?

Has anyone here gotten the privilege to try out the GW2 demo from the expo that was hosted a while back? I'm specifically interested in what the actual gameplay was like. How does it compare to the gameplay from GW1?

Upcoming game isn't decided. I figure European of some sort, though. It might jump all over the place from Gaelic to Nordic to Slavic, though, given the nature. It involves mythical weaponry and stories written about them.

Q: Isn't StackExchange better than a mailing list?

Could/should the StackExchange owners/administrators be interested in converting one or more mailing lists to one or more SE sites?
