Q: Razer Megalodon problems & gaming headphones suggestions

SpacecraftI just bought the Razer Megalodons and I've run in to a problem. I cannot transmit while playing audio. I also keep getting "usb bandwidth exceeded" errors.

Q: Some “Serious Sam 2” Levels Ending Prematurely

Synetech inc.I’m currently playing through Serious Sam II and am finding that a select few levels end prematurely (as though I finished the level). For example, on the first level of planet Ellenier, Greendale, the level is supposed to end when you enter the castle after killing the two Big Spiders and Canno...

Q: Are there "classes" in Spiral Knights?

bwarnerI just started playing Spiral Knights. So far everyone looks to be basically the same, but are there eventually different "class" paths that you can take? It looks like the game is mostly gear based, so maybe there are de facto classes based on the gear you level up (ranged, melee, healer)?

Q: Best FPS to play on a MacBook Pro?

BemmuSince selling my PC and XBox and only having a 2.4 GHz i5 4GB Macbook Pro connected to a big monitor, I'm wondering what would be some options for good first person shooter games? I have Half-Life 2 DeathMatch and Counter-Strike: Source, but might something newer run as well? At least Call of Du...

 
@failbadp did you really read the EULA???
 
@GlenWheeler I decided to when the 2K competition advertises,
1. You need to own a game from today's promotion to enter
2. You must be part of our Steam group to enter
3. No purchase required
1. and 3. contradict; indeed, the EULA mentions that sending a snail mail with your personal data is enough to enter the promotion without needing to buy anything
unfortunately snail mail participants don't get to have better chances just because they read the EULA.
 
@failbadp huh, good reason. so i guess they just had an advertising fail then.
 
I guess "no purchase required" is required for some legal reasons
hence the "snail mail" alternative
If they did want to reward EULA readers they wouldn't have put the "same odds" rule :P

Q: How can I install counter strike on Macbook pro

piemesonsIs it possible to install counter strike on macbook pro? If yes then how?

 
user30
the potato is a lie.
 
@PkaamnSSbbwcpamfwIaatnIb Counter-Strike no, Counter-Strike: Source yes.
and the latter would be "using Steam"
 
Can anybody mention a reason why I shouldn't rename @GnomeSlice to "Bob"?
 
@failbadp You mean besides "abuse of mod powers" (and I'm serious this time)?
 
Oak
2:56 PM
@failbadp nope, I can't think of any reason.
 
3:21 PM
Also, it was weird... this morning, I suddenly got 50 rep from a two-year old answer on SO.
 
Hey man, I know how it is
I randomly got 100 rep from a 9 month old answer on this site last week
 
I assume someone elsewhere linked to it.
Or maybe another question was closed as a dupe of it.
 
Conspiracy man
 
3:56 PM
@Powerlord Obviously besides "abuse of mod powers", duh
or more accurately, "use of mod powers for unintended lulz purposes"
 
So, I hear Capcom won't commit to bringing the second Miles Edgeworth game to areas outside Japan.

We had a crazy month last month, growing about 18% across the board. Today I was excited to log onto Quantcast, which measures our traffic, to see that for the first time, our network rank now fits into a single unsigned byte!

There are several different ways we measure our traffic, and each of them gets vastly different results. For example, Quantcast puts us as 14.1 million people a month (globally). They measure that using a little JavaScript widget you’ll find at the bottom of the HTML on every one of our pages. …

 
@fail WIZARDS. IN VIETNAM.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's a DLC. (Right?)
Right. Costs as much as the actual game too

@Oak Reminds me of George Foreman and his plethora of kids named George
George Edward Foreman (nicknamed "Big George") (born January 10, 1949) is an American two-time former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Olympic gold medalist, ordained Baptist minister, author and successful entrepreneur. He is credited as being one of the hardest hitters in boxing history. His most notable fights in his early career were his knockout (TKO-2) against Joe Frazier in Kingston, Jamaica, on January 22, 1973 and his loss to Muhammad Ali (KO by 8) in "The Rumble in the Jungle" in Kinshasa, Zaire, on October 30, 1974. He later became the oldest man ever to become heavyweight ...

IE10 platform preview already? Wow.
 
didn't IE9 just come out? o.O
 
@Wipqozn Yeah.
 
It's a platform preview though, which basically means "check out the improvements to the rendering engine we're working on", not an actual browser per se
 
yeah true. Well at least MS is trying to keep on the ball with their web browser...although they should just give up and ship windows with Firefox or chrome instead :P
 
4:47 PM
IE10 is being pushed out with Windows 8.
Speaking of which, when is Beta 1 of Win8 coming out?
 
Windows 8 is slated for release early next year, isn't it? or is it late this year?
 
Also, according to the starred list, I need to throw potatoes @LessPopMoreFizz
 
@powerlord no u?
 
you should probably get on that then. Better yet, make a potato gun.
 
@Wipqozn I bought one in Killing Floor, but you never actually receive it. :/

@GnomeSlice I know! I don't want to do it, either... but I have no choice now, do I?
 
@Oak You're so ethical. You should be an ethics teacher or something.
 
Oak
@Wipqozn I already am. I taught my students that if they ever give a name to any programming language / platform / any product whatsoever, they should avoid punctuation, mathematical signs and ESPECIALLY symbols not on the standard keyboard.
 
what's wrong with musical symbols
 
5:22 PM
@Oak true dat.
 
Oak
@NickT I don't want to have to copy-paste if I want to write c-sharp's name correct name.
 
@Oak Standard keyboard for which country?
 
C♯
 
C# ?
 
@Poowerlord oh snap. But - Nick T beat me to it :/
 
Oak
5:24 PM
@Powerlord Depends on the language of the keywords in the programming language
 
I frequently type µ, Ω, and ° with a standard keyboard
 
You mean C Octothorp? :P
 
# # #
 
what's wrong with C#
 
Oak
@RonanForman whoever named should be reprimanded
 
5:25 PM
All they did was take "C++" and put another ++ underneath the first.
2
 
I wish I could vote to delete that question
 
Then decided to call the Octothorp "sharp" for whatever reason.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Remember that all app stores are copycats of Ubuntu's :P
 
So, I was watching I Hate My 30s again recently. Short-live show, but kinda funny.
 
♯ is a "sharp" in musical notation, not an octothorp. :p
 
5:27 PM
@NickT which one?
 
So calling C# "C Sharp" is valid if you leave an allowance for the practicality of using an octothorpe instead of a unicode character ♯
 
@failbadp 2nd person games, the one that brant was talking about
 
@Brant Yes, but taking a ++ and putting another ++ beneath it results in # not ♯.
 
@NickT eh, has the bounty been awarded yet?
 
@fail no

It expired, and apparently it wasn't even half awarded, or the system doesn't show that

Q: 2nd person view?

AlbortWhilst the first person and third person (over the shoulder) views are popular in games, are there any games that use a second person view? And what would a second person view be?

The bounty expired and it wasn't awarded to anyone.
 
so long as someone gets enough up-votes during the bounty, half of it should be awarded
 
Only questions that were 1) Posted AFTER the bounty was started, and 2) are +2 or higher are eligible to be auto-awarded if the bountieer doesn't manually choose one.
 
This must be a weird side case, because there certainly are eligible answers
 
5:29 PM
@Powerlord You don't get either, because + is at right angles, and both the hash (#) and sharp (♯) are at oblique angles
 
3
A: 2nd person view?

ShaunI will begin with definitions of the two types of views that are not in question. First-Person View (FPV) - A vantage point where you perceive the game world as though you are the avatar that you are controlling. Both visual and audio input are fed to the player as if they are watching the feed ...

 
Oak
In any case C++ is a terrible name as well.
 
@NickT Not in a fixed width font: #
er... wrong one
 
@failbadp Oh. Well, hell if I know then.
 
@Oak In any case, C++ is a terrible language
 
5:30 PM
Well, maybe it is still angled.
 
@Brant Oh, I see.
> Bounty Ended with Christian's answer chosen by Christian
3
 
C++ makes sense because of what the ++ operator means in C.
 
Now, @NickT, I can't delete the question. It'd give Christian back his 500 rep ;)
 
> When I first looked at Git source code two things struck me as odd:
> 1. Pure C as opposed to C++. No idea why. Please don't talk about portability,
> it's BS.

*YOU* are full of bullshit.

C++ is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot
of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much
easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if
the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out,
that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.
 
ah, it doesn't show the badge if you award the bounty to yourself
 
Oak
5:31 PM
@failbadp doh, he only wanted to argue; he just wasted 500 rep on searching for someone else who agrees with him.
 
@Oak I know, but what were we to do?
 
@NickT s#C\+\+#PHP#g
 
or rather, what would you have done? :)
 
So he tried to award the bounty to himself but it imploded?
 
Oak
5:32 PM
@failbadp I dunno, I agree with you the question is legitimate.
 
Awarding a bounty to yourself is worth +0
 
Yeah, otherwise it would be a sham thing
 
I expected that a [+0] badge appeared next to the relevant answer but...
 
Heh, Christian's answer is +10/-10
 
That download will take forever...
 
5:37 PM
I thought it was an okay question. The bounty attracted a ton of attention at least, which is what the system is for in the end.
 
@Brant It needed more though.
 
Oak
The problem is the question doesn't have an answer that can be said to be 100% true, it's more a matter of opinion and definition
 
Subjective and Argumentative.
 
Hey, does anyone here know if the Potato Sack Bundle is still on sale on Steam?
 
Oak
@GnomeSlice yes... though I think it falls into the "okay" side of S&A, Bob
 
5:39 PM
@Powerlord Yes
So, I take it no one else picked up Magicka with today's sale?
I'll start single player then
although... eh.
 
Also, remind me to yell at the other dev who created a class that has two fields (ID and name) and didn't override the toString method to print the name.
 
Is Bioshock 2 worth $5?
 
user30
@failbadp Ooh, ooh wait.
 
@failbadp I had it already, if that counts
 
(and yes, the class has to remain, as it's a DB mapping class)
 
5:42 PM
@Fabian Since it'd be my first playthrough I'd want to sit through all the cutscenes etc., hence why I'm looking for somebody who only got it now

During the nth playthrough I'd also click thru them
@ThomasMcDonald 1 GB
 
user30
@failbadp I can get it now but it would likely be half an hour before I can play then...
 
@ThomasMcDonald I can wait.

Nope.

@failbadp It's not that many cutscenes, and I haven't played coop yet. So I would still be available. I also forgot all of the combinations already, I think
 
user30
I guess the video is related to the ARG.
 
Great, it's three of us then.
@ThomasMcDonald No, but it has detailed schematic of the handheld portal device.

Q: Gears of war 3 Beta already out?

KyleLast night I noticed I had a friend playing the Gears of War 3 Beta and was playing team death match (I don't know where he came from just a random off of Xbox live). I messaged him over and over again trying to find out how this was possible but he never responded. I searched online for a good 4...

@ThomasMcDonald Yes, you can could get rid of the other 63, like I do.
 
but then what if you need more compasses?

that's why they're mad
they approach people for directions and everybody flees, or explodes.

@Fabian Are you in the Gaming Stackexchange group on Steam?
 
Does Magicka have ingame voice?
 
@failbadp Does it really need some configutaion there?

@Fabian Probably.

@Fabian You don't have to, but it makes life easier
I mean, you have to if you want to get in the group chat, but that's because I can't unlock it for whatever reason :(

Except Valve's own games...
 
7:25 PM
Anyone have good plans for a mob spawner/farm?
 
@NickT While I could assume your question is for Magicka, I think it'd be funnier to misinterpret the question and link you to a plugin for Killing Floor.
 
Wrong on both counts...Minecraft
 
@NickT and my answer was also supposed to be a clever thing telling you to say which game you mean, because the last game mentioned in here was Magicka. ;)
OK, question time: Should I work on converting a page another person has (I think) finished to turn a huge table with radio buttons into a dropdown list or be lazy... er... work on something else?

Q: How do I toggle on and off sneak in Minecraft?

BombillazoHow can you toggle between sneak and normal standing position? Its kind of annoying having to keep a button pressed while I try to build and move around to get a better view of what I am doing.

@failbadp @Fabian I didn't crash. Game.. froze? I could see everything happening just couldn't move. I'm guessing I can't rejoin
 
@ThomasMcDonald I can't move either at the moment
I'll disconnect badp just suicided accidentally

@Fabian Oh, okay.
 
@ThomasMcDonald Can you reconnect, now we both can move again

A: Why were my Microsoft points taken away and my money refunded?

LovisDid they refund the cost of all 1500 points or just 340? If you spent most of the points and they refunded the cost of all 1500 I wouldn't say anything -- just go buy some more points and enjoy somewhat-free DLCs. This might not be the honest thing to do, but MS can't do anything about it since t...

Today is an LBD. :/
(Long, Boring Day)
 
@Powerlord Same here. :(
 
Gotta love this Infoworld headline
"AT&T has lowered its data price premium for poor, prepaid users from 500 times to 50 times what regular folks pay -- how nice"
 
yesterday was actually pretty fun. I got totally high on caffeine and hacked on this ticket tracking system for a few hours, adding some features and fixing bugs
Today I... built two reports in ssrs2005
one of which was a copy-paste of the other with slightly different column names
I'm so sick of reports.
 
Today I spent some time changing a radio list into a dropdown, renamed the control and changed references to it throughout the project, removed the JavaScript that was populating said radio buttion list to do the dropdown creation on the backend instead, and now I should repeat this same process on two other pages.

I was glad when I saw those run-on sentences in that answer I linked because it meant I had something to do that was interesting. (re-writing the whole damn answer)
 
Whomever thought it would be a good idea to use radio buttons on an ever-growing list in the first place was an idiot.
 
Maybe they thought there would never be more than 3 or 4 options
 
Also, someone corrupted my brain, and I suddenly have a Lady Gaga song stuck in it... but it's a song I don't really know the lyrics to.
 
or that it was important for all the possibilities to be visible to the user without them having to dig for them by opening a dropdown
and nothing good is coming up on shuffle on my iphone, god dammit
 
Lets see... how many counties are in the state of Michigan?
 
7:57 PM
83.
 
No, wait, this list will likely have contacts for every county, township, city, and village in the state, as well as some Department of Transportation and Center for Geographic Information employees in it.
 
Yeah, that's a dropdown.
 
So no, this is definitely not going to be short.
It won't be that long to start, but eventually, any new roads anywhere in the state will be entered into this application.
and I should stop talking about work now.
