It's trying to steal my glasses.

it looked like the guy in the pic was really hungry for unicorn tail, or ate something rainbow colored that didn't agree with it

I'm on to you, unicorn hug unicorn!

That's why I wear contacts now.

@agent86 Correction: Mana's unicorn hat is amazing.

Also, my tie is on rainbow fire.

@ArdaXi at least it isn't tingling your nose

@ArdaXi the best fire of them all.

This is beautiful.

@GnomeSlice You're beautiful.

Q: Batman Arkham City Riddler's Death Trap

9:05 PM

While I'm tracking the Ra's Al Gul ninja, I found Riddler's trophies. But I touch the question mark button, the door closes, Riddler gave me the question and then gas came out(what the hell?) and Batman died. What am I supposed to do?

batman-arkham-city

I think that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.

@GnomeSlice I regret nothing.

@GnomeSlice did you used to post on minecraft forums? Your name seems familiar

@Pubby Hm... I don't think so, I have only posted a few things there. I can name some of the past games you might have seen me in though.

@Pubby you're old ;)

Q: What are hats?

I've just seen a kind of red link on gaming site. It's toggle between I love hats and I hate hats. The toggle button-link is on bottom page and red. What is it ?

support hats

Someone who wants the freehand halo, go nuts and answer that.

Fantastic Contraption, Pawn Game, Stick Arena, Kongregate, Newgrounds, Twitter, Soundcloud, are some of the places you might have seen me. I have only posted a few things on the MC forums, about a minimap plugin.

it occurs to me that the only thing the templars have to do to win against the assassins is to replace all the bales of hay in the city with rocks painted to look like hay. assassin population reduction for a fraction of the cost of a million identical, easy to kill guards.

@agent86 snorts That would be effective XD

@GnomeSlice Hm, probably not then. Maybe I saw you at the start of the year before I joined

Or simpler - just stuff rocks under the bales of hay.

@Pubby Did you by chance see our new game on splash screen?

"Sir, is that hay pile bleeding?"

@alexanderpas ??

@GnomeSlice ??

9:17 PM

MY ANSWER WAS THE BEST

I'll take that as a no. Might have been where you saw my name if you had.

@Pubby your profile: age 91

I'm not actually 91 - wouldn't allow me to choose 5000

user15026

sigh I should stop expecting things to work like SE. Every forum should have a "report as spam" option for posts. EVERY FORUM.

@AshleyNunn flag.

@AshleyNunn ...most forums do.

user15026

9:19 PM

@alexanderpas Non-SE forum. NO OPTION.

@GnomeSlice That's awesome graphic

@Pubby Thank you! =]

user15026

@Powerlord This one doesn't! They are like "just reply to the post and write "spam". We will see it." ....no, actually, they don't. Or at least, they seem to ignore things.

@AshleyNunn Or Markdown. I miss Markdown when I visit other sites.

2

@GnomeSlice still not fixed the still image @ 00:06 ? ;)

9:21 PM

@AnnaLear Please tell me you're joking.

@alexanderpas No, not yet. I've only just finished school, and haven't got around to fixing and reuploading that.

user15026

@AnnaLear I never used to, but now I am like....HOW DO I MAKE A LINK ARGH in other places.

@Powerlord Not really, no. I'm good at just applying most common formatting directly when I'm writing, and I spend enough time on SE that I'm really used to it now.

@AshleyNunn [url=link url]link text[/url], and it's nearly universal on forums.

Which is why suddenly having to use Markdown is strange.

@AnnaLear yeah, I've got a wordpress blog and trying to switch between that and here yields many extra asterisks

9:22 PM

also, markdown is completely readable when it is viewed as plain text.

I'm just dissapointed I can't use '*' to auto-italicize things. Most times it's [i] [/i]

I know of two sites on the entire web that use Markdown: StackExchange and Reddit.

@Powerlord Only if you're used to forums in the first place.

@Powerlord still, millions of users!

user15026

@RavenDreamer The asterisks are much easier to remember. :)

9:23 PM

@alexanderpas If we're going by number of users, we'd all be using wikimedia markup

@Powerlord which isn't that different from markdown.

FallenAngelEyes

@Powerlord Yeah, I've been on forums using bbcode for years, so switching up my habits for here was hard

user15026

@Powerlord But that one I understand! It's kinda like Markdown.

@alexanderpas Yup, no differences between [linkurl link text] and [link text](link url)

user15026

@Powerlord some of it is the same, though.

9:26 PM

guys, why are we having an argument about Markdown vs other formats? Who cares?

Tim Stone

@Powerlord And GitHub, but that has a tendency to cater to the same audience as Stack Overflow I suppose.

Q: What happens if I use disable command on Dragons?

9:29 PM

I have beaten the main quest and Civil War quest. Now I just want to chill around a bit. But I every freaking time I fast travel a dragon pops up, I have like 20 unused dragon souls. So what happens if I use disable console command to skip them ? Any downside for abusing this feature ?

A: What are hats?

The Gaming site is currently in an event, called HAt Dash. Basically, what happens here, is users can earn hats for their Gravatars by being active on the site. Saying 'I hate hats' just disables them for you. You jerk.

See, I told you my answer was the best.

@Powerlord chat is special mini-markdown... sadly.

user15026

@GnomeSlice They all agree with me and feel very much abused on your answer.

Fuck you whoever downvoted that. Seriously, it's not funny, it's a good answer, it doesn't spite downvotes.

@Powerlord I thought it was longer than that.

@alexanderpas Heh. My sockpuppet's been created less than 30 days ago, but it's been created so it can't get either hat. It's truly a useless sockpuppet.

@badp Mine probably can.

@badpssockpuppet shut up, you

in case you're wondering, @RavenDreamer, I've flagged him for merging ten days ago and nothing happened. Might as well use it :P

@badp you were planning to get all hats by using sockpuppets?

@alexanderpas Your gravatar really looks like Dr. Mundo.

9:59 PM

@alexanderpas Not really, I made the sockpuppet for other kind of SCIENCE!

So are chat hats bugged? Has anyone recieved one yet?

You mean the unicorn hug?

@Brant yep, we've recieved them.

badp's sockpuppet

@badp the kind of science where he bans me and sees what happens T_T

10:00 PM

Grar.

(this the kind of BS I do when I should reviewing for exams instead)

@Brant just chat along, and sometime someone will star a message that's hilarious (if taken out of context.)

oh well nite gents

Oh, you need a starred message.

@Brant 10 messages + 1 starred.

Hey, isn't this youtube video cool?

So if I get banned, should I go pull a gnomeslice?

10:11 PM

@NickT what did he do?

@NickT If you want a nice -100 rep yes

keep in mind he got a site ban

@badp I lost rep for that?

@GnomeSlice no, but you were the last to not lose rep, and the first to get suspended

@badp Wait, suspensions are -100 rep now?

As of when?

It was a mistake in retrospect not flagging that crap as "not welcome" immediately

@GnomeSlice no, they aren't.

10:22 PM

I'm confused.

don't be, just forget about it

No, what are you talking about?

Offensive flags on the site, or on meta not on chat

They dock 100 rep.

Wait, but I got like 5 of them.

That 500 reps gone? Since when?

Also, am I really that offensive?

Done.

Somebody on the half life sysadmin mailing list is whining because they think a feature added to TF2 on July is the cancer that's killing TF2, as proved by a 60% decline in players. In November.

The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins

:For the music video director named Bartholomew Cubbins, see Jared Leto. The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is a children's book, written by Dr. Seuss and published by Vanguard in 1938. Unlike the majority of Dr. Seuss's books, it is written in prose rather than rhyming and metered verse. Geisel, who collected hats, got the idea for the story on a commuter train from New York to New England while he was sitting behind a businessman wearing a hat. Characters and story Set in feudal times, the story begins in the Kingdom of Didd, when King Derwin is riding through a street past Bartholome...
