@badp Relink whatever that thing was?
Also, why is the bad bountied question not dead yet. :(
 
Hey @Mana, you about?
 
Yo, I'm going through the flags right now.
 
There has got to be a way to research the quality of a hotels internet connection before going there. :/
 
I was wondering about this actually:

Q: How many distinct endings have been found in Façade?

I'm trying to decide whether it's a dupe of your question or not
 
Oh, it's a duplicate of that question I asked a while back.

Technically it's worded differently, but I think it'd end up with the same answers as yours
@LessPop_MoreFizz Getting screwed over again?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hotels should be ashamed to have the kinds of connections the ones you've been staying at have, heh. Does seem like someone would have thought to compile that kind of information before though, hmm...
 
@FallenAngelEyes Trying not to get screwed over at the next one.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I wish you luck, good sir, I wish you luck salutes

Q: What nintendo wii games require you to use a nunchuk controller? i.e. Is it worth getting one?

Catch22Not looking for a definitive list or anything but of the most popular Wii titles, which ones require you to use a nunchuk controller? Also, are there games that optionally allow use of the nunchuk controller? Edit: Or to phrase this question a different way - my 3 kids will be getting a Wii fo...

So this question is actually asking(as per the edit) "Is it worth getting three nunchuks"?
But I'm pretty sure that's still a shopping recommendation, right?

I'd say yeah
shopping rec/list that we can't maintain
 
Alright~
 
@LessPop Try Travel.SE?
 
@FallenAngelEyes Question is half typed.

A: How can I legally try Wii games before buying them?

Arda XiDisclaimer: I am not a lawyer. Copyright laws differ per jurisdiction. What I've stated below is the norm in most countries. Downloading a ROM is illegal. No matter whether you own it, or whether you only keep it for a few hours, it is always piracy. See the Nintendo FAQ on the matter for more ...

I'm getting annoyed by these comments.
 
12:14 AM
I'm kind of thinking that if this doesn't exist, it's a solid little business opportunity... set up a site where people can post Hotel+SpeedTest link and cross reference it over a map. It's a shame that I don't have even a whit of the skills to make it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Meh, you'd have to do verifications and such.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Haha that'd be awesome
@ArdaXi I think you're slowly careening into "get a room" territory
 
Speed tests can be faked, and I can imagine someone putting fake results in there just to get more customers.
@FallenAngelEyes What annoys me is that I've cited the DMCA thrice, and they're all just like "it's not illegal because companies lie lol".
 
@ArdaXi The hotel industry fakes a lot more than that. It doesn't make all reviews useless.

Q: A good program to get the game data from Diablo 2

Q: How do I gain altitude with the Wing Cap?

MosheIn Super Mario 64, I'm able to fly with the Wing Cap. I'm having trouble gaining altitude though. (I'm trying to get the star in the Wing Cap course, and it's hard to get the coins that are higher than my initial altitude, since I can't fly up.) How can I make Mario go higher while he's flying?

 
12:16 AM
@ArdaXi Yyyyeeeah...
 
And the analogy is flawed. A car is not illegal because it can go over the speed limit, no, but a car that can't go under the speed limit would be illegal.
 
I would recommend moving stuff to a chatroom if the debate continues on any longer Arda.

Q: Is there any way of evaluating the quality of a hotels internet connection in advance?

LessPop_MoreFizzI'm on the road a lot for work. I tend to end up staying at a lot of budget chain hotels that offer free wi-fi. So far so good. But sadly, not all wi-fi is created equal. The past few weeks I've been subjected to a particularly shameful string of terrible connections, and I've decided to try to t...

 
@Mana I'll move stuff to a chatroom when the comment pop-up thingy tells me to.
That way, we get a pre-populated room with all the comments in there.
 
Fair enough.

Q: Should we avoid all legal questions?

GnoupiOn Super User (and probably on others), legal questions are usually closed, or at least refrained. The simple reason is that we are not lawyers, we are computer users (and here, gamers). As such, we don't have the ability to answer such questions. These questions require the opinion of a qualifi...

 
Oh yeah, Gnoupi
 
Gnoupi! I see him around a bunch on RPS.
 
Thanks @LessPopMoreFizz, you're a lot more knowledgeable on US law than I am.
 
I can understand why you're getting annoyed @ArdaXi. Whether or not Nintendo is lying doesn't mean anything when, as you put it, your entire basis for thinking that is "lol companies lie"
 
I thought this might happen when I linked that FAQ, but it was the most easily digestible source I could find.
I updated the answer to cite the WIPO treaty.
 
12:31 AM
> Alternately, if you are committed to circumventing copy protection in order to play illegal copies of video games, might I suggest moving to Monaco. On balance, it is a far more desirable place to end up than say, Nigeria.
I hope I wasn't too presumptuous there....
 
Heh, that's awesome.

Q: What hats in TF2 are available for free?

Q: What hats in TF2 were available for free at one point, but no are longer?

Jonathan DrainSimilarly to this question, what hats and miscellaneous wearables in TF2 were at one point available for free (without crafting, buying, un-crating, random drops, trading or buying a Steam game)... but are no longer available for free?

I think these questions should be merged really.
They're all asking the same thing, except the former is localized
 
Aren't both localized...?
 
@ArdaXi FWIW, this is the perfect sort of question for a Community Wiki answer.
 
@Mana Unless time starts flowing backwards, the second one isn't.
 
The question is localized, but not horribly so. (Remember, the close reason is too localized, not just localized), and a well maintained answer over time can be a really good resource.
 
12:36 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Exactly, but the former isn't.
The former can change all the time.
 
@ArdaXi The two if combined can be. "What hats in TF2 are or have been free?" Answer in two parts.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Not necessarily in two parts. You end up with a list of hats and whether or not they are currently free.
 
With the 2nd one, you have to consider from what point you're considering "but are no longer" to stem from
 
@LessPopMoreFizz I know. I wasn't suggesting like an instant close or anything. I'm more curious if Valve doesn't provide something like that in their hat store.
(I don't play TF2 so I have no idea how getting hats works)
 
12:38 AM
I suggest that if they are to be merged, it should be done quickly before they are answered.
 
So. Who wants to make a good game recommendation site?
 
@Mana Do it! MERGE THEM.
MEEEERRRGGGEEEE THEEEEEM.
 
Oh, wait, before that I should probably merge these questions.
 
@Mana How much are you paying?
 
Uhm.
I meant as a team. Like, together.
 
12:40 AM
I don't take payment in Uhms.
@Mana Okay. Who's paying us and how much?
 
...
:(
 
@ArdaXi Advertisers!
 
Well, I mean, SE seems to have a bottomless pit of money. I want a bottomless pit of money too.
 
@ArdaXi Millions!
@Mana If you want to run a startup, you've gotta learn how this stuff works!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Millions of ads? Nty.
 
12:42 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I know man, you're right.
 
@ArdaXi No no no, only a few, classy ads. For which you charge millions.
Of dollars.
 
Dollars? That's those green things, right?
Hmm, I should add the Bridge to my Steam overlay.
 
It always looks grey-ish to me.
Very depressing colour.
 
Well one of those hat questions has an answer already

@Mana YOU'RE TOO LATE! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
 
Ummmm... I don't think that is a particularly trustworthy day care center.
Just sayin'.
 
Yeaaaaah...

Oh good. Bathtime is optional.

People always tell me it isn't.
 
Haha, @Mana did you see that guy who asked about Facade bountied your question?
 
12:54 AM
I did! I wrote a comment on his question thanking him for that, or rather hoping that we would be able to get the question answered now.
 
@ArdaXi He still doesn't get it.
Time to get a room?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Apparently not, unless mods have capabilities I am not yet aware of.
 
@ArdaXi Yeah, I don't see an option either.

Complete list of countries which are party to neither the Berne Convention nor WIPO:
Afghanistan, Angola, Burundi, Cambodia, East Timor, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Kiribati, Kuwait, Laos, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, San Marino, São Tomé and Príncipe, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Taiwan, Turkmenistan, Tuvalu, Uganda, Vanuatu
(Note, several of those countries are parties to other international copyright agreements. But it's a pretty decent list of the worlds major IP black holes.)
Now lets see if I can make Wolfram Alpha spit out the combined population of all those countries...

Q: Is it possible to both save Josie Thorpe and capture Zeke Sanders?

ManaIn my second, more violent playthrough of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I'm trying to both save Josie Thorpe (in order to get the weapons dealer discount from her husband) and capture Zeke Sanders (because I'm a dog of the Serif corporation). Unfortunately, when I choose to fight Zeke, I'm frozen to...

 
Second? Already?
 
@Mana I'm honestly not sure if it's answerable given the number of variables and how their AI engine parses them and stuff
I remember playing it in 05 or something I think, back when it first came out
I should re-download it
 
@FallenAngelEyes Err?
 
@ArdaXi Hm?
 
1:20 AM
You remember playing what in 05?
 
Façade
 
Ah, I didn't see the message you replied to.
 
Strikeout test
 
Ah, yeah, no, not DE:HR
 
OK, so Strikeout works in Chat, but not in the answer editor?
 
1:21 AM
<s></s>
 
That seems a bit backwards.
 
409.11 million people live in countries that are signatories to neither Berne nor WCT.
 
That's a lot of pirates.
 
@ArdaXi Roughly 6% of the world.
But most of those countries are war torn third world shitholes with no internet.
Okay, I'm officially Done Commenting on this thread. If @sevensideddie wants to embarass himself further, he can continue shouting into the void or he can come into chat. Either way.
Let it never be said that I am a slacker when being right is on the line.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz is a slacker when being right is on the line.
 
1:31 AM
@ArdaXi After the effort I just put into compiling that list of non-wipo signatories and getting combined population data? Pssssh.
 
Pssssh indeed, Less. Pssssh indeed.
Good night.
 
@ArdaXi 'later
 
Aw, I didn't realize that the party hat was only available on the 23rd :(
 
@FallenAngelEyes I'm pretty sure they gave it to all accounts who had the game before then.
So, if you were to log in now, you probably will get it.
 
@Powerlord I logged in a couple days ago and I don't remember seeing it... maybe I'm just misremembering. checks
 
1:39 AM
Oooor I could be completely wrong, since it's not in your pending drops or inventory
 
@Powerlord You can see pending drops?
 
@Powerlord It's still really weird to me that you can see that
 
@ArdaXi The various backpack sites show them.
 
Well damn :(
 
tf2b, for instance, shows them above your inventory with a red background and the word "NEW" overlayed across the bottom of the item.
It's also how I knew the text for the placeholder for the halo hat!
@FallenAngelEyes You played Poker Night at the Inventory and only unlocked the Dangeresque, Too? shades? :O
Granted, they are the best Poker Night item
 
1:42 AM
@Powerlord I have a problem with playing things in short bursts and getting distracted by shiny new Steam sales releases
 
Although Max also puts up his License to Maim...
 
I thought StrongBad was done great in that btw
 
The one who seemed most out of place dialogue wise was... the Heavy of all people.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Speaking of shiny new Steam releases... Achron is out!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Dunno that one :o What kind of game is it?
 
1:43 AM
Mind you, I've watched every Strong Bad email, played the Strong Bad games and played every Sam and Max game, so I should have picked up if there was something wrong with those.
 
RTS + Time Travel. Like as a game mechanic, not a plot element.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Holy crap, they finished their game?
I heard about that game like over a year ago and nothing since.
 
@Powerlord I KNOW!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz OH that one!?
I thought that died
 
@Powerlord Yup. It went on Steam today!
Yes! So did I!
 
1:44 AM
Sweet, how much is it?
 
Signs that you're doing things that Deus Ex didn't quite anticipate...
 
@Mana I didn't realize quite how... Japanese Square-Enix had turned Deus Ex.
@FallenAngelEyes 30bux. :(
Bit high for an indie title. Includes soundtrack though.
 
@Mana I lolled.
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's what I thought, too... particularly since I suck at RTS.
Ooh, I can get an extra 10% off Serious Sam 3 because I own 1 and 2 on steam
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hurk. €27.99 here.
 
It'll go on sale.
They aaaaaalllllll do.
 
1:49 AM
weighing free soundtrack vs. waiting for Steam sale because I'm not good at RTS games anyway
 
@FallenAngelEyes go with the latter IMO
 
That's what I'm leaning towards. Summer's ending, so there's actually going to be decent games coming out again.
I'll throw it on my wishlist though so I don't forget about it
Maybe for Thankgiving!
Thanks for letting me know, I remember seeing that and thinking it looked pretty neat
 
Why don't they release good games in the summer, when I don't have 9 bajillion classes?
 
This needs more stars IMO:
1 hour ago, by Arda Xi
Oh good. Bathtime is optional.
 
What about work time? Is that optional?
Without skipping out on getting paid that is?
 
1:58 AM
@Powerlord It seems that way for me some days as I sit around waiting for the broken equipment to stop being broken.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Then again, I was told to not access one of our databases today. It's only the DB server and DB my dev environment uses!
 
The Secret World's beta signups opened up but it requires that you have a facebook account and connect it
 
Which, of course, means I had to shut down my local app server.
Which, in turn, means I can't test any changes.
 
@Powerlord I would recommend removing the strikethrough stuff from your TF2 free-but-no-longer hats answer
It's barely readable atm
 
2:03 AM
@Mana I didn't want to waste the effort I put into finding all the hats that were no longer available... seeing as how I missed the part about not wanting stuff that you had to buy games to get.
 
Fair enough. Sometimes you gotta take a low blow like that for the sake of a better answer though.
 
As it is, if I delete those, my answer will look almost identical to the other one since we essentially copied things we missed from each other (yes, I'm admitting I copied the part about the halloween masks from his answer).
 
nods It's fine. No worries, man.
 
@Powerlord What exactly is the etiquette on that anyway?
Is there any sort of unspoken policy from other sites?
 
@FallenAngelEyes No, not really. But I got on the other guy's case because he was like "there's a bunch you were missing" and then swiped 4 (of the 9 in his answer afterwards) from mine.

Convenience Store chain in East PA, NJ, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
basically the Delaware river valley region
They serve that tiny region, and they're the number 8 seller of coffee in the country. With under 600 stores. it's pretty absurd, and locals have a pretty cultlike obsession with the place. Think Wegmans in upstate NY.

@Lazers Aside from normal subjectivity regarding "best," isn't that also subjective in regards to the gameplay itself? AFAIK, there are several ways to achieve your goals in Deus Ex, not all of them involving firepower.

btw, why do we keep spelling laser wrong?
 
user30
I guess there's some gaming lore behind it I must have missed out on
 
room topic changed to The Suspension Bridge: of Gaming's StackExchange™ AlienOverlord AskQuestion™ mothership, wherein any attempt to play or discuss unapproved games will result in termination by lazer, and any attempt to reduce the . (no tags)
bah

user30

@ThomasMcDonald I didn't even realize that.

anyway, as my productivity appears to have dropped to tapping on the keyboard in time with music, it appears to be time for lunch. then deus ex. in either order.
 
Should we add a clause to the law of Wipqozn to add DX:HR, or just wait it out?
 
user30
only 4105 words to go
 
@ArdaXi So long as I don't have DX:HR I doubt it'll become a subject of gravitation ducks
Who's going to whine about the game if I'm not!!!!
 
Did you seriously just ask "Who's going to whine" in here?
Anyway, DigiD is down.
 
"It looks like Desura tried to update and failed. Do you want to try again?"
Yes.

Q: To Kill or Not to Kill - Zeke in Deus Ex 3 [Spoiler]

MechkoSo I didn't kill Zeke in the first mission and as a result he popped up later and gave me some information. I then decided to kill him and earn brownie points with the Boss, but Jensen never mentions it. Now, I'm worried that I've lost both the brownie points with the Boss and later valuable in...

Q: What are the conditions for cactus to grow in Terraria?

Dave SherohmanIn my current world, I built a horizontal tunnel from my home to the nearest demon altar, at a depth of 8 feet above sea level. As it happens, this tunnel passed through a relatively large area of sand and, while making a run down this tunnel last night, I discovered that cacti had grown in it, ...

Q: Things in Mr Lee's apartment [spoiler]

MechkoTalking about Faridah's side mission in New Hengsha: So I hacked the computer, spent 10 minutes searching for the second item (the clock) and Jensen still thinks there's more. What am I looking for and where is it? I've wasted more time than I care to admit looking for it.

A: How do I defeat/sneak past proximity mines in Deus Ex?

Andy GieslerIt's not hard at all if you take these steps. In fact, if you do the following you can't even set them off accidentally (unless you jump or knock something over). Press Caps Lock, or whatever key you've mapped for "Toggle Walk", to switch from fast movement to slow movement. Crouch. Shuffle ov...

Q: Does Desura accept Paypal payments?

badpI'm reading through the EULA of Desura to better understand the system and the deal it offers, and there's an entire section dedicated to credit card information and chargebacks; now I'm pretty sure this is also repeated in the Steam EULA, but it did make me wonder - does Desura accept PayPal pay...

is the drb weapon cache this rocket launcher?
 
Cardboard boxes are really DX:HR's explosive barrels.
 
@badp About those user details popups: are we getting them on meta.gaming anytime soon?
 
If we're gonna get them, we're gonna get them on Gaming.
 
user30
is this rocket launcher going to be worth it?
 
@ArdaXi From what @badp linked, it seems they're only active on meta.so right now
 
12:50 PM
Exactly.
 
@ThomasMcDonald In Deus Ex:HR? I used the first rocket launcher to blow up the robot that was in the same room. Then I ran out of ammo so I dropped it
 
If they move beyond that, they aren't going to move to site-specific metas first, they'll go to the main sites directly.
 
@ArdaXi Ah, okay. Makes sense
 
It is really big. I do keep it though.

Q: What items are worth more when brought/sold to a specific NPC(s), rather than to a regular merchant?

galacticninja(Inspired by the 'What items should be saved for turn-ins?' question for Fallout: New Vegas.) In Oblivion, what items should be saved for turn-ins? For example, Roland Jenseric of The Order of the Virtuous Blood will pay 250 gold for Vampire Dust which is only 50 gold at 100% value when sold t...
