Oh wow. I never knew that the silent h is in English because of the Dutch.
> Many of the earliest printing houses that printed English were staffed by Hollanders, who changed many spellings to match their Dutch orthography. Examples include the silent h in ghost (to match Dutch gheest, which later became geest), aghast, ghastly and gherkin.
 
English steals all its stuff.

Q: Can I lose the first race?

Ronan FormanIs there any way to fail the test where you take the statue from the Loftwing or will none of the other contestants ever reach it? I've seen them getting close but can they make it?

 
@Lazers That's a good question, actually. I assumed No, but I haven't tested it.
 
@Powerlord Same, but you never know.
 
@Powerlord Yeah, I was terrible at it. I think it took me about 10 minutes to do it.
I think it's safe to say that if you don't fail after 10 minutes you're fine.
 
10:09 PM
Woah, I thought I was bad.
 
@RonanForman You are bad. Don't feel good about yourself.
 
My copy still isn't here. D:
 
user15026
@RonanForman It took me about 15 min. I was getting so frustrated! I am terrible at flying.
 
Aeo
Is there some kinda history tab on the site that I'm completely and utterly missing? I upvoted some questions earlier and didn't make favorite of it
 
It doesn't help that the instructions aren't that useful the first time you're flying.
 
10:14 PM
@Aeo you can see your activity if you go to your profile, although I don't think you can track all the posts you've upv oted.
 
I apparently missed that you have to shake the remote to go up.
 
@Aeo There's gaming.stackexchange.com/users/1393/aeo?tab=activity but it doesn't show upvotes.
 
Today has been a productive day for me... just not on actual work stuff.
 
user15026
@Powerlord Yeah, and it is really sensitive to your every movement, which is frustrating
 
@Aeo There's no tab for "Things I've voted on", no
 
Aeo
10:16 PM
@Wipqozn @Ullallulloo @GraceNote That's unfortunate... Thanks for the help
 
@Aeo There is a favourite button for that purpose however.
 
@GraceNote but it should be noted that you are able to track down votes on answers though @Aeo. IT costs 1 reputation to down vote a answer so it shows up in your reputation tab.
@ArdaXi He knows, but he forgot to favourite a question.
 
@Wipqozn It hasn't been that way for months
Like, months worth of months.
 
@Wipqozn Oh, right.
@GraceNote So... 2.5417 years?
 
@GraceNote yeah, I meant to say answer, not quesiton.
You may have noticed that I said answer in the first sentence, and question in the second.
 
10:19 PM
If I wrote a book, "Principles of Baconomics", would you guys buy it?
 
@Powerlord uh, no.
but I hate bacon, so why would I?
 
@Wipqozn You can't favorite answers
 
user15026
@Powerlord Depends if it included actual bacon or not.
 
@ArdaXi For some value of 2.5417 that isn't equal to 2.5417, as it were
 
@GraceNote What does that have to do with what I said?
 
10:21 PM
Tracking downvoted answers just doesn't really help with tracking questions that should've been favorited... generally. 'Tis all I'm observing.
 
Aeo
@Powerlord Depends on the price, really...
 
@GraceNote All my statement said was that it is possible to track down voted answers, it said nothing one way or the other about questions or anything else.
 
It said stuff one way or the other about questions. It no longer says stuff.
 
@GraceNote Except that was a mistake, therefore your follow-up comment about favorite answers made no sense.
 
Well, it makes sense, just not as a corrective measure. Merely an observational one
 
10:24 PM
Making sense with every possible edit seems a lofty goal.
 
I still don't see how it relates to what I said, but fine.
 
It's merely a tangential observation
 
user15026
Hm. Is there a way to view messages in chat that I personally starredÉ
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Awesome, thanks :)

Q: Need to fire the mountain crossbow but I have no ammunition?

JitamaroI've finished Lord of the Rings War in the North, but now when I am playing it again with the same character I'm stuck in the level where I need to fire the mountain crossbows. In my first playthrough it worked without complaint, but now I can't fire a crossbow. I press "E" to use it but it won't...

Q: How can I prevent the untimely demise of John's wife?

Tobias KienzlerSo far the only "happy" end I found was the one where John and Molly are cured and sit in the park. Unfortunately, that involves having to go to work on every occasion, which results in John's wife comitting suicide. The only path that did not let John find his wife dead cheating on ...

Q: Is there a way to get DS games to use the full top screen on a 3DS?

Ashley NunnI noticed that when I play DS games on my 3DS, the games don't fill the entirety of the top screen on the 3DS - there are black bars on either side of the image. Is there a way to get the game to fill the entire screen? Or is that just going to make things look terrible?

Q: Is there a good list of where I can find alchemy ingredients anywhere?

RachelThere are plenty of lists of alchemy ingredients and their properties, but I'm looking for a list of where I can find specific ingredients. In particular, I'm trying to find out where I can find Scaly Pholiata

 
@Wipqozn Yours was also a tangential observation, as it were.
 
@ArdaXi Not at all. Grace commented that there is no tab for checking votes, my statement was pointing out there is a way to track some votes, namely answer down votes.
 
@Wipqozn It's still irrelevant to initial enquiry.
 
@ArdaXi but not to the statement made by grace.
A passerby would probably mistake us for an English or Philosophy chat right now.
 
Wow. Dark chocolate milk tastes a lot better than I expected.
 
10:33 PM
@ArdaXi I was unaware that such a thing existed.
Also, I desire a glass of chocolate milk now.
 
Grocery store I work at added it to its inventory last week.
 
@agent86 I just found Professor Genki and killed him and got $300k :D
 
@FallenAngelEyes I saw professor genki, and I could NOT KILL that bastard to save my life.
I was in co-op and we both shot him and ran him over multiple times and etc, and that guy just kept going
 
@RedriderX also I own it and have beaten it
 
@ArdaXi So which would you prefer, Milk Tea or Lemon Tea?
 
10:36 PM
@agent86 I wailed on him with my fully upgraded 45 Shepherds
 
@GraceNote Lemon, I'm not a big milk fan.
 
@ArdaXi chocomel?
 
@FallenAngelEyes Yep.
 
@ArdaXi I see I see...
 
@ArdaXi I <3 chocomel
 
10:37 PM
@FallenAngelEyes You're a hit man, errr hit person now?
 
I'm quite fond of the Mocha
 
@FallenAngelEyes I was really confused when I was suddenly ringing up a box of Dark Chocomel.
 
@Wipqozn He's not specifically in my assassination list but I killed him just the same
 
We don't sell the Mocha though.
 
Would you care to entertain another preference question?
 
10:38 PM
@ArdaXi if you like mocha, I'd recommendit
 
@GraceNote This brings back memories. But sure.
Specifically, these memories.
 
@agent86 What sucks the most is I've seen him once before but I didn't try to kill him because I didn't know he dropped anything special :(
 
@FallenAngelEyes Lucky you. I may encounter him again, and if so, death will be upon him.
 
@agent86 Aim for his big, oversized, grinning head
 
@FallenAngelEyes Have you done much of the saintsbook? I've got a bunch of questions about it that I might post. I was playing a bit just now and trying to taunt gang members.
 
10:39 PM
@ArdaXi For someone who likes her privacy, @GraceNote sure does devote a lot of time to learning everything about you. He's obsessed!
 
@Arda Left or right?
 
@agent86 ahahaha that's what I'm doing too :(
 
@GraceNote Err... judging what? Kind of conflicted.
 
I hate that taunt detection is so goddamn dodgy >_<
 
@Wipqozn I do the same, but more subtly.
 
10:40 PM
I'll taunt like 15 gang members, get maybe 1-2 progress towards it
 
Whatever floats your boat. ♪ This is related to the previous inquiry
 
Feb 22 at 23:10, by Grace Note
Twintails or long and straight, @Arda?
 
I'm trying to get that done before I go and take over everything
 
Seems familiar
 
@Wipqozn Nah, this is unrelated to that sequence
 
10:41 PM
On quick, overall judgement, right.
 
@agent86 16/41 complete currently btw
 
Well, I used to think that @GraceNote was a man, but I'm now under the impression she is a female trying to turn herself into @ArdaXi's ideal woman. Who can blame her though.
 
@ArdaXi Wow, lemon tea through and through, I see
 
Reverse image search on that returns "tea personification." What.
There are anime personifications of different styles of tea?
 
@ArdaXi these exist for everything
 
10:42 PM
Incredible.
 
@ArdaXi You don't watch a lot of anime, do you?
 
@Wipqozn No, I do not.
 
Milk Tea. Electromagnetism. Lighters. Belarus. M-1 Abrams Tanks. Dust. Velociraptors. You name it, there exists a depiction of it as a girl.
 
I only just noticed this.
Feb 22 at 23:11, by Grace Note
Just a simple, related question about girl's hairstyles. Don't try to read too deeply into the question, it may be a regrettable action. ♪
You were very much right.
 
On the topic of tea, there was actually a whole comic series about Lipton Ice Tea
 
10:43 PM
For the record, I prefer the left, thanks for asking, gawd!
 
@FallenAngelEyes I've had very little time to play it, I'm only about 12% complete overall.
 
@Wipqozn I never asked if you preferred Milk Tea or Lemon Tea, though
 
Why did you ask that anyway?
You ask the most random questions.
 
You mentioned dark chocolate milk and it made me think of milk tea
 
Which really leads me to believe they're part of some kind of personality matrix.
 
10:44 PM
@ArdaXi seemingly random
 
@GraceNote This is a weird and mildly creepy conversation.
 
@ArdaXi Like I said, she's trying to turn herself into your ideal woman.

This is nothing.
 
@ArdaXi I don't really judge anyone on the Personality Matrix. Mostly because I have no idea how I'd relate the 7 axes to psychological questions.
 
@ArdaXi This is a weird and mildly creepy relationship
 
10:46 PM
@agent86 That tends to describe most of my relationships.
 
@ArdaXi duly. noted.
so can @FallenAngelEyes and I get back to discussing our totally-normal dildo bat cat mascot beatdown game now?
4
I'm trying to make masturbation motions at rival gang members and it's not counting towards my "make masturbation motions at rival gang members" counter! THIS IS SERIOUS.
3
 
@GraceNote Any other mildly creepy questions to ask?
 
@agent86 Mine's the slitting throat motion
 
So @agent86 wants to talk to @FallenAngelEyes about his masturbation attempts?
 
@ArdaXi I'll see if I can hopefully spring an opportunity to strike someone else.
 
10:49 PM
@Wipqozn This just happened.
 
@GraceNote So @Wipqozn was wrong?
 
@ArdaXi He's some degree of wrong greater than 0%
 
@ArdaXi She's just trying to lure you into a false sense of security.
 
If you're excluding the part where he's generally wrong about a lot of things.
 
@Wipqozn Lull.
 
10:50 PM
@GraceNote I dare say good sir, I'm never wrong.
 
@ArdaXi For a sec I thought you typoed "lul" and was going to say that's not very nice
 
@GraceNote You know what I mean.

Q: Im looking for a game that was a bit of a joke on grinding on text based rpg's cant remember the name

Kyle SeidlitzIt was an old 90's freeware single text box game that had your character go out and kill and loot, then sell and get better armor, then wash rinse repeat ad infinitem. Yea the "game" was a cpu cycle eater, but it was kinda a kick to see it running while I was doing other things. Does anyone remem...

 
@FallenAngelEyes You know, even though I typed it, I thought the same thing.
 
@ArdaXi haha
 
10:51 PM
@Wipqozn I dunno, with "I am awesome" being a very frequent phrase said by you...
 
@GraceNote I'd star that, but it's not funny without the context.
 
@ArdaXi That's why I excluded the extraneous part, to strike exactly what you mean.
Least, what I know you mean
 
@GraceNote Smaller than or equal to 100?
 
@ArdaXi Yes
(smaller than)
 
Interesting.
 
10:54 PM
@Wipqozn If he really wants to, he can go ahead. It wouldn't be the strangest or most personal conversation I've ever had.
 
@GraceNote This is like playing Mastermind.
 
@FallenAngelEyes That doesn't surprise me at all.
 
I love the way I turn (seemingly) facetious statements into complex logic puzzles.
 
yay, I found more blowup dolls

noooooo, I think they're on the roof :(
 
Aeo
@FallenAngelEyes Erm... Is this really something we should know? :P
 
11:00 PM
@Aeo You'll get used to @FallenAngelEyes and he crazy sex adventures before long.
 
Aeo
@Wipqozn Good to know...
 
inb4 aeo leaves us forever. Forever scarred by fallens adventures
 
@Wipqozn a lady's gotta get her jollies somewhere
omg

nice timing

Q: Can I get credit for lewd gestures at people who are already trying to kill me?

Asks question about grant game
...Is it just me, or have they gone in a really creepy direction with the fairies in this game:
That is not what Betilla looked like in past games.
 
@GnomeSlice I'd hit it.
wait. did I say that out loud?
 
Aeo
@GnomeSlice Yeeeaaah... that's a bit... What game is this?
 
@Aeo Rayman Origins.
 
@agent86 No, you typed it.

@Wipqozn Whew. that was close.
 
DNF is €7 already?
 
I guess that's global warming for you.
 
Wow.

Duke Nukem Forever.

I really should do homework instead of watching dragonball z kai

Q: Are the Different Characters Unique from a Gameplay Perspective?

CMC
Quick question (I think)
Is there any way to "save state" in an exe-based game?
i.e. not in an emulator?
 
No reliable way.
 
11:13 PM
it's not really the same at all, CMC - saves for "normal" games are typically stored in files
 
CMC
Dang.
Yes, but I don't mean saves.
 
You could, theoretically, hack it together, but RAM access is way too finicky.
 
CMC
Exactly
 
you might be able to download or manipulate those files, but it's totally different and extraordinarily complex per game
 
I'd suggest a virtual machine.
 
CMC
11:13 PM
Ah, good point
I hadn't thought of that.
Thank you very much :D
 
In most cases, you can't even identify which RAM cells are used by which programme.
 
CMC
Fair enough, although some programs are likely easier to identify than others.
 
you'll be lucky if you can run them in a VM
depends on the game
but the video is the hard part
 
I suppose a question about Betilla's breast size would be closed as off-topic.
 
@GnomeSlice I think it would be closed as creepy.
 
11:17 PM
That's not a close reason.
 
they'd have to add it
 
Fair enough.
 
especially for you

Yay! Found my Win7x64 SP1 disk!
 
@GnomeSlice Character designs change now and then. 'sides, I'd imagine a likeness to that depiction already existed prior to this game anyway.

Now to strip it of everything I don't need.
 
@GraceNote Surprisingly, it doesn't look like it.
 
Character's name?
 
Betilla (the fairy)
 
Huh, well that site failed me
 
that site?
I don't even want to know.
 
11:22 PM
Much too lazy to check the others
 
@IanPugsley Not anymore.
VirtualBox has great 3D support.
 
Well, there you go
 
Can't find any others though.
What are some other popular Game On! titles besides Minecraft and TF2?
 
One of my potential long term goals is to create an artbook devoted to converting the Scribblenaut's dictionary into cute little girls.
 
11:25 PM
@GnomeSlice Xonotic could be.
 
@GraceNote ???
How would you even do that?
 
The major problem being maintaining the same level of creativity without either introducing inconsistency of detail or resulting in monotonous thematic repetition.
 
@Ullallulloo Oh, thanks.
Trying to make some different variations on the splash screen.
 
@GraceNote What do you have with cute little girls?
 
11:26 PM
43 mins ago, by Grace Note
Milk Tea. Electromagnetism. Lighters. Belarus. M-1 Abrams Tanks. Dust. Velociraptors. You name it, there exists a depiction of it as a girl.
 
@GraceNote What is this, I don't even.
 
@ArdaXi Cuteness is nice. Also a lot more interesting than otherwise. Be it beautiful dresses, scurrying centipedes, or powerful artillery, cute is the embodiment of the best things in the world.
And I'm saying the above without meaning those 3 things being little girls. That's entirely separate. Tanks don't need to be girls to be absolutely adorable.
 
I suppose it might have made more sense to render the splash screen without a game title, and then have a second, much smaller composition for selecting those that you can add to it.
 
@GraceNote I... er... hm.
 
Adorable.
 
11:29 PM
Very much so. I find that the cuteness of a tank tends to be directly proportional to its destructive capabilities
 
@GraceNote Sometimes, I think that, if you're a male, you're a rather creepy one...
 
@ArdaXi Given past exchanges on subjects, this shouldn't be too much of a surprise, should it?
 
@Ullallulloo Why would this be creepier than if she were female?
 
@FallenAngelEyes Obviously @Ullallulloo has a deep rooted fear of men.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Probably because of the emphasized cuteness. I was just saying the same thing privately to @Wipqozn, as it were.
 
11:32 PM
I've already come to terms with the fact that I'm a member of the inferior gender.
 
@ArdaXi ...so males aren't allowed to think things are cute without being construed as "creepy"? That's rather sexist.
 
@GnomeSlice You're female? I didn't know.
 
Because when you think of women thinking of little girls, they're probably thinking about their daughters or themselves when they were young.
Whereas with men, you usually just think of pedophiles.
 
@ArdaXi I lol'd
 
@FallenAngelEyes Emphasis on... well... emphasis.
 
11:33 PM
@FallenAngelEyes We aren't allowed to think little girls are cute, that's illegal.
 
We aren't? That explains a lot.
 
@Ullallulloo I do have a guy friend who is very annoyed that this kind of bleh standard exists.
 
@Ullallulloo There is such thing as thinking something is cute without having a sexual connotation
 
What are some of the other games we play for Game on! often?
Did I hear talk of League of Legends or something?
 
11:35 PM
@GnomeSlice I didn't think we did anything other than TF2 and Minecraft more than once
 
TF2?
 
@GraceNote this.
 
@ArdaXi Got that one.
 
That will change though.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I know, that was a joke, but it's kinda true.

Q: Installing Command & Conquer 3 on a new computer

GavinI've passed on my Command & Conquer 3 game to a friend but they can't play the multi-player game online as it says the CD key is still in use. Anyone know how I can reset this? The game was originally installed on a laptop that has been wiped and is long gone. Thanks in advance for any idea...

 
I like badps idea, of just having minecraft friday, TF2 saturday...
 
I like that idea, too
 
As interesting as this discussion is, I really should be going to bed, or my debate's going to be rubbish tomorrow.
 
Good luck, @Arda!
 
Thank you.
 
11:37 PM
@GraceNote pffft, arda doesn't need luck.
 
Well... our school won the last three instances of this particular competition.
 
@Gnome Can you send me the effects that begin with CC? I can't find a download link anywhere.
 
Mandatory TF2 update in 30ish minutes.
 
Are you sure yours didn't come with them?
 
@Powerlord I only play optional TF2 do I get an update?
@Gnome I'm sure, it's odd because I got the trial from adobe's website.
 
11:43 PM
@RonanForman You joke, but server crash fix updates are marked as optional.
What's annoying is that optional updates don't trigger the server's auto-update mechanism.
 
ugh every TF2 update means I can't play on any of the fun servers for a day
@Powerlord exactly
 
Crashes are part of the game, it makes it challenging!
 
@RonanForman Yeah, the thing is... server crashes don't necessarily crash the client, but if the server crashes (obviously) everyone gets disconnected.
