@Mana Where's the coverage at?
 
> The following pages will present my invention and a method of using a soft cloth devise to sustain life without death, torture, reincarnation, or being reborn in the flesh of another by resurrection, etc.! My invention and discovery presents a new method to manipulate the muscles and bone's within the human and mammal's body to sustain life.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Is that... a given patent?
 
@GnomeSlice Not sure on the applications status.
 
Why is the website so shitty too?
Is that the official US patent office website?
 
@GnomeSlice Yes.
Note the .gov TLD
 
12:09 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz ........................................lol.
 
> Important Note: Please remember I have never killed or caused the physical death of any person or human being with my medical invention. Furthermore, I have never completely physically died during my research and development. However, I have researched and personally suffered most of the physical symptoms that cause most people to physically die. And, I am certain my theory and hypothesis is correct
 
> My invention and discovery presents a new method to manipulate the muscles and bone's within the human and mammal's body to sustain life.
I'm not trusting my life to anyone who doesn't know how to use an apostrophe correctly.
 
@FallenAngelEyes He also mentioned realigning immovable joints and things.
 
I didn't read the whole thing. I got to that sentence and was like, "Nope!"
Anywho, bedtime zonk
 
12:15 AM
@badp Oh my.
 
Original for comparison
 
Brings to mind this:
And this:
 
@Wipqozn It's time.
@TimStone ign.com/ipl
 
@Mana place a lnk please
 
 
12:28 AM
@Mana ?
 
oh, right, it's not quite 8:30 yet.
So they're probably just using LoL from the other stream as filler for the SC stream
 
Oh.
You guys are all going to go watch some thing that doesn't interest me, aren't you.
=[
 
Yes.
 
Stream, Y U SO LAGGY?
 
@TimStone indeed
 
12:33 AM
@Wipqozn Switching to a higher resolution resolved lag issues for me.
Unless you mean like actual lag, like internet connection can't handle it lag.
OH MAN. DIS COUNTDOWN.
 
...
 
I too like to use up all of the fuel in my stabilizers by meandering around space with an epic and foreboding countdown display projected on my window.

Q: Is there any good tactic to winning air balls?

Dvir AzulayI've been playing PES for a while, and PES2012 since it came out. I wondered, is there a good tactic to winning air balls (like when goalkeeper kicks a long ball, or just in general), or am I limited to tapping X (pass) multiple times to try and get it? Is there a way to be "aggressive" in order...

Q: Will I lose all my saved games if I start a new campaign in Rage?

Anna LearI'm part way through a game of Rage and if I go to Campaign->New Game now, I get the following warning: Does this mean I will lose all my saved games for the current campaign or does it only apply to the current campaign progress and my ability to keep playing by choosing "Continue Campaign" f...

Q: How is the ranking points decided for a win/draw/lose over PES 2012 online quick matches?

Dvir AzulayHow is the ranking points decided for a win/draw/lose over PES 2012 online quick matches? Sometimes I win and get 8 points, sometimes I get 10, etc. The worst thing is, sometimes I draw and lose points while the opponent gains some. It was brought to my attention that there might be a factor of...

 
QUESTIONS. YES.
YESSS.
 
12:38 AM
HERE WE GO OMG
 
UH OH
WHO PRESSED THE RED BUTTON?
 
@Mana wtf is this? I thought this was SC2.
 
@Wipqozn Are you lagging? There was a large countdown.
It was League of Legends for a bit, but then it switched back.
 
You may also be on the wrong channel...
 
I see a black screen.
 
12:40 AM
@Mana I don't know wtf is going on
 
How exciting.
 
this is retarded
What do these channels even mean?
 
@Wipqozn Uh...what?
 
@Wipqozn You want 1. Caesar's.
 
Why would it be called anything other than SC2?
That's terrible web design.
 
12:41 AM
They're named after the sponsors.
For money.
 
Understandable
but hovering over it should give me a description of what it is
 
Oh wow. That kind of snuck up on me as a really good tune.
 
not just "this is sponsored by..."
Are they in game now?
 
Oh, if I hover the button I get a little red popup that explains what the channel schedule is.
 
My one just started
 
12:42 AM
They just started, yeah.
 
@TimStone mine just tells me when it starts
no information on what is playing, et cetera
Which is just retarded
 
@Wipqozn TankBall2?
 
@Wipqozn Sounds like you're lagging behind quite a bit, somehow.
Try reloading.
 
I'm very cranky right now, as you may have noticed. I have little patience for moronic we design.
I'm getting a a bunch of lag
 
Try raising the resolution.
 
12:44 AM
That's an odd suggestion... but okay
okay good
problem is done
I just went to justin.tv instead
 
Oh.
...Where were you? :P
 
the link mana sent
it was using justin.tv in some fashion, but was hosted on IGN
Which is a rather terrible site, so I went into that expecting problems
 
Ah, OK.
 
idk, I don't think it's that bad.
 
@Mana It is.
 
12:47 AM
I mean...they let you do split-screen. You can watch both players' visions at the same time.
 
the fact that there is no way to know what a button does aside from going to it is just terrible.
 
If you hover over them they give tool-tips.
 
which just says "this sponser starts at X!"
 
I'm not having any issues either, but meh, as long as you've got it working then s'all good.
 
which gives me no information
Anyways, now I'm cranky. So I'm just going to forget about IGN.
 
12:48 AM
Also, if I get nothing done tonight, it's totally @Mana's fault.
2
 
hahahah :P
 
god dammit
I should have got some popcorn!
is this the semi-final @Mana?
 
yeah
 
when is the final scheduled for?
 
10:00 PM
 
12:50 AM
okay, so 11pm for me
 
possibly later, depending on how this goes.
 
didn't the last game take an hour?
 
maybe
 
Do you have a link to the roster btw?
Also, checked the IGN channel. Apparently a lot of people are experiencing lag.
 
oh, lag just kicked in
 
she's now mo- ving in with all those m- oves and-
 
y7eah I'm getting a lot of lag now as well
 
I blame New Jersey.
 
lolololololololol @badp
in Uninteresting Things, 21 secs ago, by Stack Exchange
badp has frozen this room.
 
room topic changed to The Bridge: of Gaming's StackExchangeâ„¢ AlienOverlord AskQuestionâ„¢ mothership, wherein any attempt to play or discuss unapproved games will result in termination by lazer, which disrupts our lazers' charging and lets GnomeSlice read things that pertain his interests. And you wouldn't want that, right? [wipqozn-gravitation-law]
 
12:55 AM
AW HEY
@badp I GET IT >=[
 
hey, I'm just trying to merge this chat with that other!
after all it appears that you're interested in things we're not interested in, and we're interested in things you're not interested in, and there's no overlap ever.
besides, this stuff doesn't interest me and it's 3am and whatnot so derp.
 
that guy looks like he is about to cry
I love the misery of others.
 
Hmm... 9 PM and no email from boss.
 
omg, this lag is crazy.
Oh IGN
 
It's too bad because I watching earlier and there was virtually no lag to be had.
 
1:00 AM
Probably too many people watching
 
Also, the production quality is quite high and they've put a lot of work into this tourney.
 
well
not sure which one mill is
but I like hiom
GoGO power rangers and waht not
 
Guy in the bandana
 
oh, the one who was about to cry earlier
gotcha
 
what no
 
1:02 AM
lolol failed cheese
awesome
 
Stream just go down for you guys?
 
@Mana yes.
went back up again.. then down.. up again, but lagging like crazy
 
Cool. Seems like they're trying to resolve the lag.
480p seems to be less laggy than everything else
 
Speaking of lag.
Someone built a massive lag machine on treepunch.ca
I can't log in now until they fix it, because I was standing on it when I lost connection.
 
GO! STEPHANO
YES!
 
1:12 AM
@Mana That's racist.
 
He's the foreigner hope, man.
 
@badp you know, I'm allowed to create my own rooms, right?
 
@GnomeSlice Not according to @badp
Who has clearly gone crazy with power
 
> IMPORTANT: please check for an existing similar room before creating a new room; duplicate rooms (without good cause) will be closed.
 
@badp Show me what it's a dupe of.
 
1:14 AM

 The Bridge

General Arqade Chat. We tried to leave once, but the door lock...
 
Uh no.
17 mins ago, by badp
after all it appears that you're interested in things we're not interested in, and we're interested in things you're not interested in, and there's no overlap ever.
Not according to you.
 
@badp hi-five
 
Oh wait.
Shit.
 
Besides, if he didn't freeze it you would have kept on linking it while we talk about Starcraft.
 
It's not like he can't keep on linking to it
 
1:16 AM
wtf? He doesn't know who voltron is? My god.
What a monster.
 
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING ARGH
The cartoon stuff I mean.
 
Who are these announcers anyways? Anyone important?
or just random IGN staffers?
 
They are HD and Painuser
they're both SC2 players, HD has been casting for a while, same with Painuser
 
nifty
 
They're alright but they're nowhere near as good as CatsPJs and Apollo, who were casting games earlier
They also casted what is probably the greatest SC2 game ever, between Kiwikaki and Stephano earlier in the IPL3. I'll link it once this series is done so you have something to watch in the interim.
 
1:23 AM
 
ahahahaha
STEPHANO. I HAVE FAITH.
I think Stephano has this. STC has a good position in the middle but I can't see him managing to push in for the kill.
 
@Mana I stopped watching. Couldn't focus at all, trying to do something else.
I plan to tune in for the finals though
so feel free to ping me
 
Alright
 
@Wipqozn TankBall2?
 
@GnomeSlice Well, because of the something else, no :/
working on an assignment
 
1:36 AM
@Wipqozn I was wondering if that was the something else.
 
Which is why I couldn't focus on SC2
Indeed.
Tempted to eat popcorn for the last game
on the other hand
it would be at 11
which is rather late for popcorn
perhaps not for you youngsters, but for an old guy like me it is
 
I consider 11 to be very late.
 
@Mana Oh my. How very unyoung of you.
I do as well, although most of my friends stay up until 2 am.
I used to be like that, but I prefer going to bed early and getting up early.
I may not watch the finals, and instead go to bed.
WE SHALL SEE
These old bones are not as young as they used to be

Q: Use a spell, without assigning it to right click?

C. RossI recently acquired the spell Identify in torchlight, and I use it from within my inventory by right clicking the icon. This works fine, except that it overwrites my current right click ability with Identify. Is there a way I can use a spell directly in inventory without it overwriting my curre...

Q: How can I tell if this weapon is magic or not?

C. RossIn torchlight there are three passive weapon abilities "Melee", "Ranged", and "Magic". It's pretty clear that a Broadsword is a Melee weapon is a Bow is a Ranged weapon, but how can I tell if a Quarterstaff is a Melee or Magic weapon? What about a Scepter? I'm not asking for answers to these s...

 
well, shit. TheSTC won that one.
 
1:43 AM
Well, shit, all of our admins are now stuck.
 
@GnomeSlice well that's terrible
Does that mean the server is ruined forever?
 
What part of 'do exactly as I say' didn't they understand.
Wow
 
Did his shirt just say "Mom's Touch"?
 
No, if worst comes to worst, we'll delete that world.
It's the new one anyway.
 
Ah, Korean KFC.
 
1:52 AM
I need to borrow someone's MC account for a minute or two.
 
@GnomeSlice awkward silence
 
Oh my god.
 
@Mana Problem?
 
@Wipqozn Stephano just steamrolled STC's entire set of bases with 50 banelings.
 
@Mana jesus christ
 
2:02 AM
It was crazy
 
still on the semi-finals I assume"?
 
They're done now. That's what ended it.
 
I can imagine.
 
oh god, 8 core processor for your desktop.
This is getting ridiculous.
I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS.
 
AUGMENTED
 
2:07 AM
 
Exactly
...
C'mon AMD, really?
 
ANIMATION.
QUALITY ANIMATION.
Lucky, huh?! Good stuff.
 
I'm enjoying the control panel things held together with duct tape.
Hahahah
 
ZvZ for the finals, huh? I wasn't expecting that.
@Wipqozn Finals are starting now.
 
@Mana mhm already got it up. Thanks though.
 
2:13 AM
@Mana Mac Pros have been doing that for a while.
Personally, I only have 4 cores, but they ARE hyperthreaded.
 
@Powerlord bluuuuuuuuuh
What does hyperthreaded mean?
 
@Mana Each core can act like it's two cores.
 
Jeeeeesusssss
 
Apple has put out 16 core machines.
 
noise
 
2:15 AM
Personally, I think DongRaeGu is the best Zerg player around. His control, especially with mutas, is absolutely incredible.
noise
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Really? I thought their top machine was dual quad-core.
Oh, actually they have dual sexta-core Mac Pros now.
 
...
 
(only $5000!)
@Mana I'm not kidding
It does bug me that the 12-core machine only has 6GB of RAM.
 
That is absolutely disgusting.
 
I have more than that with only 4 cores.
 
2:18 AM
This is horrible.
I made a massive hole in the world, with little to no improvement
 
well, welcome to ZvZ, hahaha
 
@Mana this is intense
I think lucky lost this one @Mana
 
Yeah.
 
@Powerlord I'd rather it had no RAM tbqh. Apple marks up RAM absurdly. the less of it is in the machine, the cheaper the machine is for me to buy my extra gigs after marker.
 
oh god these Lucky puns are awful
STOP
STOP IT
shakes monitor
 
2:22 AM
If it helps @Mana, I love them. Keep in mind that is because I love terrible puns.
 
Oh no, the positions. Five bucks says we're going to get a repeat of Game 1.
Well, except without Lucky going 15 hatch.
So pretty different. Kind of.
 
Hmm, still no email from boss.
At this point, it seems like she does not want me to work tomorrow.
 
: )
I LOVE IT. SUCH CONFIDENCE.
 
@Mana wat
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Starcraft 2 tourney.
 
2:27 AM
oic
 
Guy has zerglings rushing his base in a tourney for $18k, messages ": )" as he counters it.
 
So, is there a reason Gaming.SE isn't sponsoring/handing out swag at Barcraft events? Because we totally should.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I hadn't considered that!
 
@Mana Thing We Should Try: Answer an Unanswered Question and get a T Shirt!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz would be nice to lure in the pros
 
2:30 AM
WHAT'S GOING ON
 
insert preemptive apology
 
@Mana Lucky is going to need to get lucky to win this one.
@Mana nice try with that worm, but just didn't work
 
Okay, so we've seen two tech ups. Banelings and Roaches.
Can we go for mutas next game?!
ahahahaha
 
Fixed it.
Looks like it may have been unintentional.
 
"Rating Pending" Jensen stabs two guards in the neck, massive blood spurt
 
2:40 AM
Why. She is... pretty annoying.
 
Oh man, Stephano's expressions in the background.
Looks sideways, notices girl, gaze goes slightly downwards, rolls eyes, back to monitor
 
@Mana didn't notice them
@Mana exhaah
 
Well, that was fun.
 
WOAH
 
@Mana GG I dare say
I'm sure he won't... but pretty sure he just lost
 
2:50 AM
Stephano is just making Lucky look like an amateur at early-game ZvZ.
 
@Mana I know :/
Oh! 1 more game
didn't realize you needed 4 wins
 
Yeah.
Do you have time to watch one more game after this?
 
You guys suck.
 
@Mana we'll find out I suppose
it's almost midnight though
 
That's turning into a way for me to earn free stars, it seems. ಠ_ಠ
 
2:53 AM
I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS COMMERCIAL BREAK.
 
Wow man
Aw man.
I definitely just smelled Onion Rings.

Q: Deciding Theme and Colour Scheme For Trivia-Based Game

ashes999I started work on an Android-based trivia-like game. You basically pick a topic (eg. volcanoes) and get a random set of 10 questions out of a bigger pool. I'm really struggling to pick a colour scheme, and also, to pick a style or theme to use -- every choice seems arbitrary at this point. I do ...

 
Well done Stephano.
 
my god @Mana. Lucky just got schooled.
 
Total domination.
 
3:03 AM
Lucky wasn't very lucky at all
 
@Mana SuperCrateBox was obscuring the name. I assumed you were talking to me.
 
claps
 
I like how he is obviously annoyed by this female
 
Hahah @ her having the microphone scotch-taped to her face.
No, you're just...terrible.
What?
They all need to stop talking.
 
Who the hell cares about LoL right now?
 
3:09 AM
DUN.
 
Ah, well at least they decided to try and drown them out with music.

MobThe nanosuit thingy says this whenever I'm approaching potential hell. What does this mean? Do I press something for it to give me details? I'm on PC

I really wish I was at the pro level
 
just so everyone would be like "derp... how the hell do we pronounce his name?"
They only have one mic? wtf l o l
 
3:13 AM
Jersey man... shakes head
 
@Mana Eat it.
 
hThis IGN host is really awkward
 
GIVE. HIM. THE. TROPHY.
There we go.
My god, that was an ordeal.
 
It was.
 
Epic gameplay though, thanks for the heads-up @Mana :D
 
3:17 AM
@Wipqozn He may be awkward, but he's a really nice and sincere guy, and he worked really hard on this.
 
Yeah, thanks @Mana
@Mana yeah he seems it. Not a good speaker at all though.
 
@Mana Oh, you're not talking about me after all.
 
Production quality at the IPL was really high this year. This is up there with the GSL. And the IPL started with 0 budget basically.
 
The thing about hard work gave it away.
 
In other news
 
3:18 AM
Hahah, wut?
 
I think Wipqozn would get a kick out of this since he enjoys other people's misery.
 
@Mana I did. thank you.
Well, I'm going to bed.
Old folks like me can't stay up all night.
 
Peace bro!
 
3:20 AM
also
not sure if I shared this
 
G'night @Wipqozn.
 
@Mana did you see my score.
@Wipqozn Ugh
That's just... gah.
x_x
@Mana have you tried any other MaidMarian games?
The environments in the MMO look just like the ones in Tankball.
And the environments in 'Marian's World' are just the islands taken from the MMO.
Lol.
 
@GnomeSlice I saw it.
@GnomeSlice I have not.
 
I don't know why I'm playing the MMO again.
@Mana up for some games?
 
3:26 AM
not at the moment, going to bed soon.

Q: Why do Minecraft NPC's make door opening sounds

johncIn 1.9 prereleases 2 and 3, the f.k.a. Testificates seem to make door opening sounds occasionally in the villages.
