Q: Portal to Stormwind in Nordrassil, Mount Hyjall

Just outside the inn in Nordrassil to the left of the door (facing the entrance) I see a portal to Stormwind. Is there a quest that lets me use that? I have done all the quests in Mount Hyjall that I can find and are currently doing the dailies by the Sanctuary of Malorne.

Stack Overflow Blog: Welcome [Valued Associates That Make Up] CHAOS!

Posted by Alex Miller on September 15th, 2011

For the past couple months, we’ve had a new team starting up out of our NY office, CHAOS (or if you’re not into that whole brevity thing: Cheerful Helpful Advocates of Stack Exchange). You’ve probably seen them around some of the sites or run into them in one of the chat rooms – but here’s your official introduction:

CHAOS works directly with Joel and me to come up with, and execute on, new ways to promote all of the new SE sites and bring in new users. Looking at the original job posting we put up, you can get a bit of a feel for what they’ll be doing: …

Q: What does 'Show ENDOOM Screen' mean?

I recently got ChexQuest III and was customizing the mouse sensitivity and video options when I saw a rather cryptic option: 'Show ENDOOM Screen'. It was set to OFF and I set it to ON just to see what it would do, but I couldn't notice anything different. Is there anybody who knows what this m...

Q: Is it ok to attack your own village in Travian?

I have two villages near each other, and I want to move a lot of resources from one to the other, and my merchants are hours away. Is there any problem with me sending troops out of the village with resources, maybe to re-inforce the other village, then attacking my own village with lots of troop...

Powerlord

TF2 updated.

A new item, plus updates to Goldrush and Upward.

Arda Xi

@Powerlord What item?

Powerlord

Finally, they fixed Upward's "end mid-round" bug. Now, they need to do that to cp_gorge.

@ArdaXi "Killer Exclusive"

No idea what kind of item it is.

Arda Xi

It is an old-fashioned brown journalist's fedora with a card marked 'Press' stuck in the rim.

Powerlord

8:47 PM

It may be this pcg_hat I see mentioned in the update files.

Arda Xi

The Killer Exclusive will be awarded to players who buy PC Gamer issue 232 (available September 29, 2011) and use the activation code contained inside.

Powerlord

@ArdaXi That's... stupid.

If I can be blunt.

pokes Valve OK, make this update fail or return a "your copy is up to date" so my server auto-restarts already.

It's been sitting there for 10 minutes, and I think it completed its updated, but nemrun verifies that files are up to date before restarting.

> Stage 2 : Added func_nobuild under bridge that would get teleported players stuck

You mean Stage 1 of Goldrush, right Valve?

(near BLU spawn in stage 1 is a bridge thing that gets players stuck under it if they teleport to it)

user30

@Powerlord no, stage 2

Arda Xi

psst, Valve isn't here

user30

unless there is another one

Powerlord

8:51 PM

@ThomasMcDonald Where in stage 2 is there something like that? I know where it is in Stage 1 as I threatened to ban one of my regulars if he kept placing teleporters there.

Arda Xi

@Powerlord Isn't this something Sourcemod was made for?

Powerlord

> [Thu Sep 15 16:50:11 EDT 2011] :: Update completed, but master servers tell us we're still out of date. This usually means valve updated the master server and triggered our out of date notice, and we started updating so fast the content server didn't yet have the goods. We will retry until we actually get up to date...

<3 seeing that in my nemrun logs.

Powerlord

8:54 PM

@ThomasMcDonald Ah. Like I said, in Stage 1 there's a spot right near BLU spawn (up the hill on the left side from BLU) where players will get stuck. The cart doesn't go over that one.

user30

ah right

Powerlord

@ArdaXi There was no plugin to spawn func_nobuilds back then. Hell, there wasn't one until I asked for one a few weeks ago.

user30

same principle I guess

Nick T

heh, so win

Anyway, I've really got to leave.

A: Is there a way to skip the opening logos in Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

The Setpember 15th, 2011 update adds the ability to skip through the opening logos using the space bar (source): Intro logos can now be skipped on all but the first run of the game.

@Wipqozn It's practically the same thing at the moment

user30

anyway, got some questions tagged both minecraft and pc to burninate the pc tag from.

Wipqozn

@ThomasMcDonald I thought console tags were acceptable?

user30

Yeah, but pc should only be used where a feature/issue/bug refers to an issue specific to the PC version of the game.

user30

or, that's my understanding of it

user30

10:17 PM

@badp yes?

Wipqozn

Makes sense

badp

yeah, that's the gist

Wipqozn

We really need to start a meta about how to have a non-terrible tagging system

user30

the problem is, with minecraft expanding to both pc, xperia (or however it's spelt) & xbox

Wipqozn

I believe it was @NickT who said that it seems like we are moving towards a system where only game name tags are accepted tags.

Q: Your favourite classical PC games

I have a set of games that are already pretty old, that every now and then I install again (sometimes with a DosBox) and play again, having the same fun as 15 years ago when I played it the first time. Thats what I call a classic in computer games. The question is, what are your favourite class...

@badp Well I was enjoying it so I don't care.

@RonanForman Fine, but... the level of play was fairly low there. Just keep that in mind

Underground is dark. Endermen spawn in the dark.

Do the math.

Eh, so far I'd only seen them on the surface

It's kinda cute that he's looking at me

jumping around excitedly. "I'm gonna mine!"

Oh, he came close to me. He wants to make eye contact :(

Now he's looking away. Poor enderman :(

Looks away, then at me, then back away, then back at me, then walks away. Sad.
