I don't think I've ever heard the full version of that song before.
 
You have no idea how many memories that brings back.
That one really deep guy, who says Carmen Sandiego
Man, I used to play those games so much.
 
♫ She's a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery ♫
 
Heh, said movie rails on Mubarak :P

Q: Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?

GnomeSliceI used to play this game a lot when I was younger, but I don't think I ever managed to find Carmen Sandiego. Where the heck is she??

 
12:17 AM
I hope that's a joke question.
 
12:36 AM
@Powerlord Don't be silly.
 
12:48 AM
@GnomeSlice I mean, I know you included a second question mark, but you didn't include a ♪, so I can't tell if that's supposed to be playful/with mirth or not.
Maybe I'm getting old, but when I tried the SpaceChem demo, I didn't really find it fun. :/

Dark ____ of the Moon
why do all the Transformers 3 posters have a typo
 
@NickT It's an invitation to scribble in the missing words on any posters you see
 
2:11 AM
Want to win this HUGE Brink poster? Yeah you do. http://on.fb.me/kGIfk6
 
@GnomeSlice Ew, FaceBook.
 
@Powerlord I just liked the video. The poster is really long.
 
2:28 AM
Ugh, since my old avatar was Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog, I was just thinking about what Sonic models would look like in TF2.
Then again, I play Sniper just enough that I wouldn't want modded models.
 
Anyone else have SpaceChem? If you don't you should at least go play the demo

You're dumb :P
Do you like any sort of puzzle game?
 
@NickT Sure. R.U.S.H. is surpringly fun.
 
What's that
Rush is a series of racing game video games developed by American based company Atari Games and published by Atari Games and Midway Games for the Home Consoles. The series debuted worldwide in 1996. Initially, the series was exclusive to the fifth generation consoles and was brought back later in the sixth-generation video game consoles by 2006. The games consist mainly of racing with various cars on various tracks, and to some extent, including stunts in races. Since L.A. Rush the series has adopted its street racing atmosphere.

@Powerlord I've got another game by them on the Wii called 'Rubik's Puzzle Galaxy' or something, and it looks like basically the same game.
 
@GnomeSlice It is the same game.
 
Hi folks.
 
I'd been looking at [Cogs](http://store.steampowered.com/app/26500/) before, but
I don't have a credit card. Shame, it looks great.
 
Wondering if "can my MacBook handle game X?" is off topic.
 
2:41 AM
...Why didn't that link display correctly
 
@gnomeslice I think you did the brackets backwards.
 
^ That was the same bracketing.
:S
 
Oh? No clue then. I'm usually in the now too quiet tavern on MSO.
Well.
I suppose I'm here to troll, despite being a reputable member of SE.
 
@GnomeSlice You really want Cogs? :O
 
Feed me!
 
2:43 AM
@Powerlord Doesn't look interesting to you?
 
'SUP MOSHE
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah... I have Cogs. Isn't as fun as you'd think.
 
Hehe. Seriously though. Either of you folks know if a vanilla MacBook can run portal 1?
 
Hi @mana.
 
2:44 AM
Most likely, it's not a very resource-heavy game
 
@Moshe Too bad this wasn't a year ago, or you could have just gotten a free copy and tried for yourself.
What year Macbook is this anyway?
 
Latest one.
As of now.
 
Glass really needs to cook faster in minecraft
 
is on iOS so pardon the slow replies
@Rapida perhaps, as your username indicates, you're just impatient.
@powerlord - macbook7,1 latest one as of 2010
 
You may have a point
 
2:46 AM
@Moshe Well, I don't know about the 2010 model, but the 2011 model uses an nVidia chip, which should be more than enough to play Portal on.
 
@powerlord that's what I meant. There is no 2011 model yet.
 
yeah, should be blazing fast then
 
@Moshe Oh, I thought new Mac models usually came out early in the year.
 
definitely not going to be unplayable
 
Nobody thought my link was very clever, I take it.
 
2:48 AM
@Gnome that is because you rock. You're probably the coolest guy here.
 
@Mana Harsh, guy...
 
phew, all those positive emotions out of the way
 
Somehow, I don't think you're finished.
 
there we go.
 
Your star vanished. I assume that's what you're talking about.
 
2:49 AM
@gnome I was actually going tl comment on the cleverness of it. Honest. I'm just a little tied up on iOS. Juggling several things.
 
I wouldn't know anything about that.
 
Anyone else here have an iOS device?
 
HumancentiPad?
 
I have a toaster.

Q: How do I rotate my fusion laser?

Nick TIs the fusion laser in SpaceChem rotatable, or is it always stuck fusing what's on the left into what's on the right (vs. say, up-and-down)? If it is rotatable, how?

 
2:50 AM
@powerlord - they do, but not all at once. New iMac is out for about a week. MacBook Pro is also refreshed for 2011. Mac mini and MacBook and MacBook Air all await refreshes.
 
@NickT Get out.
 
@Lazers So apt to be posted by Lazers
 
Hehe
Might I promote my product now while getting some opinion please?
 
only if you have free samples
 
@mana - it won't run on your toaster, 'mfraid. @NickT - there is a free version of my app.
 
2:52 AM
better to promote your product here than subtly promoting it through questions on the main site
since I think that has happened
 
@Moshe Clearly you've never seen @Mana's toaster.
 
does it run on devices with more than one button?
 
Do I get free out of the deal?
 
@NickT Does the macbook wheel count?
 
NipponXtreme (Free version)
 
2:54 AM
Get out. You're the creator of Nippon Xtreme?
I don't believe you.
 
@gnomeslice - hehe. Nice.
@mana I don't believe that you lack sarcasm. But yea. I did make that.
 
Dude, no way. It's my favorite iOS game! I love what you're doing with it.
 
@mana and iOS devices all have four buttons.
@mana uh? Like what specifically?
 
My toaster's controls are particularly well-suited for its gameplay.
 
Nippon (Paid version)
</shameless-plug>
 
2:57 AM
sweeeeeeet
always cool to see devs around here
guys, we gotta ask questions about NipponXtreme on this site
so then Moshe can answer them. Rep everywhere!
 
SPAAAACECHEMMMM

Rep is an abstract concept.
 
plus awesome publicity
 
play more
 
Thanks. Hehe. You might want to take a look at the game first. Not much to ask about. Except I left a testing panel in the game whih I used to test scores.
 
2:59 AM
oh man :(
well
if you really want to be cool
you can make an awesome community ad
 
Well, it's a throwback to dope wars.
And make it open source?
@mana aren't those ads only for foss software?
 
and then post the ad here
naw, they're for anything that gamers might be interested in
 
Well it's not yet a fancy game. I've redesigned some graphics today.
@mana are you familiar with Dope Wars?
Anyone else?
 
is it synonymous with Drug Wars, the MS-DOS game?
 
Yep
That's it.
 
3:04 AM
yup, I am
 
So meet Nippon for iOS. It's the same game.
Except, you don't trade drugs in the city, but rather you trade sushi in Nippon.
Same game, diff name
 
oh okay, that's cool
sort of like how I'm porting a flash game onto Android under a different name
 
Yea.
 
always the best way to start off
This your first project with iOS?
oh wow, no, you have a lot of these apps
 
Yea. :-) I got a phone call sorry.
This was my first non-niche market app though.
 
3:09 AM
no worries
 
Some of those are very long-tail market. And some aren't usually 99¢. I raised some prices because one of them is doing well so I'm trying to catch those who look at my stuff.
 
Makes sense.
 
But I'm thinking of doing an rpg soon. I have a friend who i hope o work with.
I want Pokemon on my iPhone!!
 
everyone wants Pokemon everywhere
 
I want it enough to rip it off wholesale and make it work for iPhone. Not that I plan on actually rewriting it, but it would be neat to have it on iOS.

Q: Why don't Terrans ever seem to use medics?

Brendan LongI've been watching a bunch of Starcraft II replays recently, and I just realized that I've never seen a single medic in any of the games. The most recent one I watched had medivacs, which is obviously more useful than medics (since they can lift units too), but most of the games I've seen had a b...

 
I am leaning towards it as a summer project.
Well, thanks for your time. If you like, feel free to try Nippon (Xtreme). I'm working on an update that adds color and bug fixes.
And gosh, apple botched the orientation a bit on the iPad. If the device is flat faceup or facedown, it's not easy to get landscape/portrait orientation.
 
@Moshe I hope you didn't mistype "I have a friend who I hope I work with" just now. :P
 
The API needs work.
@gnomeslice :-) glad to see I didn't bore you enough that you closed the tab/window.
Night.
Tschüss
 
@Moshe It's what I do.
 
peace man
 
3:23 AM
So, I got my one-way doors to work.
 
wow, I'm so proud of you.
I think that should go on your resume.
 
@Mana Can you stop being a dick.
If you don't like the game, don't rag on me about it.
 
I would rag on you regardless of whether or not I liked the game, you know that bro <3
But I'm sorry. I'll stop.
Also Image not found.

I did save to comp, it was a screenshot.

Q: Super Emulator?

computersaurusIt seems like we are on the verge of a super emulator. One package that would have all the games, a single emulator for them all and the ability to play and move to many platforms. Start a game on your pc, finish it on the phone. Are we ready for something like this? Or is this still far off.

Q: Would you buy a book which claimed to make you a better 1st person shooter player?

Q: Can you get into Mario RPG's Debug Room on the Wii's Emulator?

Garet ClabornI saw this video and thought I'd go try it out. Either I've got the wrong idea about what triggers the debug room or it doesn't work for the Wii :(

 
2:27 PM
@badp This is the kind of thing you run into later in the game.
 
@ArdaXi "Nothing works" was frustrating enough
 
This one was a bit difficult to see.
Basically, you get fusion, where the amount of protons of two atoms is added up to create a new atom.
So basically, in this video, 10 hydrogen atoms are combined to create a neon atom.
The red waldo keeps putting an atom in the fusion thingy, while the blue waldo keeps fusing them.
Oh look, I had 100 cycles less than @Ronan
 
3:25 PM
@ArdaXi I got that much, but why didn't you get collision warnings?
Do they have to collide to do the fusion?
 
No, the fusion turns two atoms into one.
The fusion thingy takes the one on the left and combines it with the one on the right. So the one on the input will disappear once the blue goes over fuse.
 
I guess having the invisible mermaid hydrogen didn't help me
 
Invisible?
Well, it disappears as soon as it appears.
 
Yeah, all you can see in the video is the hydrogen being moved and then going through a rainbow of colors...
 
@badp Yeah. The cycle begins by the hydrogen being moved from the input to the output of the fuser, and then it constantly spawns and fuses the hydrogen until it's combined into neon.

5:47 PM
Wtf, I just did 126 damage w/ the shotgun
to a pyro that was on the other end of that canal in that 5 CP map
okay, it was a crit
still wtf
 
@badp Crits have no distance damage falloff.
 
They still have spreading out pellets?
 
@badp They should, but by default, one travels down the center of the barrel and the others in random directions... which could also be straight down the barrel.
However, there's a cvar that when change makes it fire in a 3x3 grid.
At least I think TF2 shotguns fire 9 pellets at once, as does the Scout's Scattergun. The Force-a-Nature fires 11 (with the extras in the middle and top-left of the grid)

I'm not even sure why they gave it random crits. The third-hit crit mechanic was just fine.
It was always great sneaking up on a Heavy, and hitting him three times before he realized what was going on. :D
Particularly since said third hit had its own kill icon. >:D

7:27 PM
@ArdaXi What? He says it applies to all Source games.
 
@MatthewRead He is specifically talking about co-op.
Well, the question is different for Portal 2 than for other games, anyway, because other games usually aren't on listen servers.
This question only applies to listen-servers.

7:45 PM
@ArdaXi So it current is related to Portal 2, but it's not about Portal 2. How is categorizing it that way useful? Should other tags be added if more games use listen-servers?

The only real use for Listen servers in most Source games is SourceTV.
 
@Powerlord And small-scale LAN parties.
 
Oh yeah, today is Monday. Hopefully Valve fixes some issues with Replays in TF2 today.
 
Well, TF2 is the only well-maintained Valve game.
 
@ArdaXi I don't think imagining it coming up in Portal 2 makes the question about Portal 2. But I will defer to your expertise.
 
@ArdaXi Really? I thought even LAN games required a dedicated server binary running separately from the game itself.
 
7:50 PM
@MatthewRead I didn't say that. I think that it won't come up in any other game.
@Powerlord Why would it? Every Source game supports listen servers.
 
Oh wait... does Alien Swarm use listen servers?
 
@Powerlord Not sure.
L4D uses dedicated servers usually, but it can use listen servers.
@Powerlord Even your favourite war-themed hat simulator supports listen servers.
 
@ArdaXi Really? I don't remember seeing that option in the program itself.
 
@Powerlord Click the + on the Start Playing button. (On? Seriously?)
 
@ArdaXi You're saying it by tagging it, lol. is for questions about Portal 2, not questions that might only be applicable to Portal 2 if they were to be applied.
 
7:54 PM
@MatthewRead Questions that only apply to Portal 2 are by definition questions about Portal 2.
No Vox Populi? :(
 
@ArdaXi That's not true. Questions about Portal 2 will always be about Portal 2, whether or not other games that come out use listen servers that way. If they did, we'd have to untag it, since we're not about to label it with every slightly relevant game.

@GraceNote That's opposite of what I was told. Should've known, since SE staff told me.
 
@ArdaXi It was changed, like, this morning.
 
@GraceNote Ah. They changed it to be worse than it was? Even more typical.

@ArdaXi People complained that voting on questions at the start of the day subtracted from their answer votes.
 
@GraceNote The way it was, at least how it was told, the question/answer pool stayed the same, plus 10 question votes.
 
@ArdaXi That's mostly accurate to the old system, except it was a "then 10 question votes" instead of a "plus 10 question votes"
 
@GraceNote Well, yes. So how can people complain about the way it's been since the start?
This is definitely worse.
 
@ArdaXi Poke Mark Trapp. Maybe the two of you can rally better support than I can.

Speaking of Team Fortress 2, vanish. ♪
Well, I can do my best to put in a good word for you, is all I can do on my own. Later.
 
Wait, so speaking of Team Fortress 2 makes GraceNote vanish? I'll have to remember that. >:)
 
@GraceNote Well, I don't really care, I'm used to the system sucking in some way. If I didn't like that, I would've moved to something like OSQA long ago.
 
lame
 
@Mana Who, me?

@ArdaXi That's why you come here for the family, not for the system. ♪
 
@GraceNote Exactly.
 
no, the system sucking in some way is lame
 
And Jeff is the distant uncle nobody really likes, but he's loaded.
 
Also, I think some crazy italic or blue fellow pinned that message you told me to clear the stars from.
 
oh man that is a harsh metaphor
 
9:08 PM
Because it's totally pinned right now.
 
I blame badp because nobody has been.

@Mana Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaana.
 
@badp whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
 
...wait, does that not work? Oh, too many characters.
 
@Mana Duuuuuuuuuuuuude

mpenrowIs there a way to listen to the ending song again after I have beat the game? Other than the obvious way of beating it again.

Boooooooooooored
 
Hrm, I wonder if it's worth it to craft the YER
because I can right now, but I'd have to give up on that watch.
 
@badp Which?
 
The motion sensitive cloak one.
 
@badp You need that one for YER.
 
Anyone have ideas for a clone of Pokemon?
I like the concept of a battle system, but I don't want to be an exact clone.
