@GraceNote Do you know anything about this or the original Japanese game?

Powerlord

I was going to say Mana is rapidly disappearing, but it turns out it's PIPA that's rapidly disappearing.

@OrigamiRobot Does anyone remember if any of the Battle Chess character used a grenade?

Although, my favorite was if the King took a Bishop... the King would take out a revolver and shoot the Bishop.

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord There have been loads of battlechess games. I remember Battlechess 4000, long ago.

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice Nope

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote Ah, well. Was hoping you'd have some more information.

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice I was referring to the original.

Just got Dungeon Defenders. =D Is it any good? <.< I'm bad about buying games without demoing them or anything.

GnomeSlice

@Tristan I've heard it's quite good. Haven't played it yet.

Tristan

It has 81 Metascore, so... I'm hopeful.

agent86

I bought it this week for xbox, I think @FallenAngelEyes has some experience with it as well.

Powerlord

@Tristan Why didn't you buy it during the Steam Holiday sale? :O

Tristan

@Powerlord I didn't have money then. =(

FallenAngelEyes

1:05 AM

@Tristan It's quite fun as a co-op experience.

There's a lot more depth to it than I anticipated. My friends and I are currently doing a lot of strategizing and working on loot acquisition and stuff.

Tristan

@FallenAngelEyes Oh wow. o.o Now I'm nervous about playing it. lol

FallenAngelEyes

It's a decent solo experience, depending on what you find fun as a solo player, but I find it much more enjoyable with friends.

However, there can be a lot of grind involved after you hit level 70 in regards to loot acquisition.

Trying to get decent drops and stuff, then having enough mana to fully level the loot you that you do get, etc.

I'm not currently subbed to a MMO though, so I have the time :P

Powerlord

Huh, the Blackwell Quadrology is on sale on Steam.

Tristan

@FallenAngelEyes Well... Why not sub to an MMO? =P SWTOR is awesome.

Powerlord

I'm surprised it took Steam this long to start selling the Blackwell titles; the Steam keys for the first three were part of one of the Royal Indie bundles.

FallenAngelEyes

@Tristan I tried TOR's beta and it wasn't fun enough for me to want to pay for.

Raven Dreamer

Re: Dungeon Defenders - I couldn't get controls that I could use with that game.

Also, I think I've finally figured out how to describe my dissatisfaction with Diablo III's art style

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer Really? I don't use the controller at all, just keyboard.

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes Eh? I didn't say anything about a controller. I couldn't get used to the keyboard controls.

Anyway, I dislike Diablo III's art style because it's 3d that's trying to look like isometric sprites.

Which is nice for a throwback to diablo's I and II

but I think it just looks... poorly done.

FallenAngelEyes

1:17 AM

@RavenDreamer Ah I see

Powerlord

FallenAngelEyes

Powerlord

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes And the whole "no offline" thing.

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer There's a whole host of reasons I could list that make me dissatisfied with the game, but I'll just skip that and say "I'm not buying it"

Raven Dreamer

1:18 AM

@Powerlord Whoa. Suddenly, the Pureblood Sith Inquisitor makes sense.

The only mention of why a Pureblood Sith is a slave is in the loading text between starting a character and completing the first class quest.

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah. At this point, I'm not even sure what I'll do with my grant of it.

Powerlord

@RavenDreamer I do find it interesting that your response options to at least one person in the Korriban starting area change based on whether you're Sith race or not. :D

"blah blah blah not pure Sith" and one of your choices is "like me?" or something along those lines.

Raven Dreamer

@Powerlord I've played through all 4 starting worlds now, and I have to say, I like the flow of Korriban the best. Hutta provides the best loot, Tython is overall the worst, and Ord Mantell is middling.

@Powerlord Yup. You also get to tell him that he's talking to a former slave, if we're thinking of the same person.

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer My dislike of the game is bad enough at this point that I won't even apply for the grant for it because I don't want to give them money, even if it's not technically mine.

Raven Dreamer

But anyway, Pureblood Sith Inquisitor = was vassel to a sith lord. Sith lord went rogue. Imperial society being what it is, the lord's followers (i.e., you) gets sold into slavery.

@FallenAngelEyes I'm talking the last of Brett's grants, FYI. And, yes.

Bad Blizzard. No sno-cone.

1:25 AM

@RavenDreamer I meant that was one of the reasons I didn't apply for it in the first place

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes I don't think I was a moderator at the time I applied for the grant - which means I just wanted it for the rep I could get from it.

I'm a rep whore. I'm addicted to helping people.

Raven Dreamer

@Powerlord - did you make the prisoner sing back when you were starting out on Korriban? That cracked me up.

badp

Also. My first day with the Eureka Effect has been mostly pleasant. It certainly allows you to be more aggressive.

However, it doesn't open the door to as many possibilities as I'd have loved to

Certainly some possibilities open, such as building everything up to level 3 onto the 4th point of badlands

where otherwise your only source of metal would be the 41 bit a drop away and a dispenser

(as if badlands wasn't hard enough to turn around - but hey, this is still a feat)

RedriderX

@badp Yes me too, I actually played for some time after the notices showed.

Powerlord

@RedriderX The funny part is that I was able to play that quite a bit longer than expected.

I have no idea what the various powerups do, though

Powerlord

Not a surprise, it's a parody of Arkanoid, after all.

badp

@Wipqozn shoot

Wipqozn

I need to get half a byte basically.
Working on an assignment where we are making a mock CPU in C.
It uses one byte to store operands, but each operand only takes up 4 bits, so I need to get both halves of the byte (using unsigned char for this)

The professor seems to be under the impression we covered this in another course... but we didn't, so I'm not 100% sure what to do :/

although I think I found the answer

bit shifting

Which if I understand it correctly is what I'll need to use

user20683

you'd need to construct something called a bit mask IIRC

user20683

one for each side and then I think you'd and them together

Wipqozn

Either I'm misunderstanding you, or you misunderstood me. The byte is already made, with the two 4-bit operands in it. I need to get each of them.

Although I could just be misunderstanding what a bit mask is

user20683

I'm not sure, I'm rather brain dead at this point

user20683

@Wipqozn aye

Wipqozn

@badp okay, so I do need bit shifting.

Excellent.

Thank you gents for your help

badp

well it depends though

Wipqozn

go on

badp

3:10 AM

how are you going to bit shift your way out of getting the lower half?

Sure, the higher half is just byte >> 4

Wipqozn

Not sure yet, need to look into bit shifting some more. My initial assumption would be:

byte << 4, byte >> 4

the "," meant to indicate a new line

badp

psst, semicolons :P

Yeah, keep in mind that only works if you're using an unsigned data type

Wipqozn

It's late, I'm allowed mistakes :P

badp

4am here yo :P

Wipqozn

I am in this case (unsigned char)

badp

3:12 AM

00001011 << 4 = 10110000 (negative)

Wipqozn

you crazy kids and your different time zones

badp

10110000 >> 4 = 11111011 (still negative!)

Wipqozn

oh my

but if unsiged it would do...

badp

it would use zeros I believe.

Wipqozn

10110000 >> 4 = 00001011

badp

3:13 AM

What World Engineer was suggesting though is simpler and twice as fast

Wipqozn

@badp bit Masking?

badp

10111011 && 00001111 = 00001011

Wipqozn

oh okay

badp

your byte and (1 for each bit you want to keep, 0 for the others)

the thing in parantheses is a bit mask.

That's all there is to it really.

Powerlord

Isn't unsigned char redundant? :P

Wipqozn

3:15 AM

hm

with that in mind

yeah okay

Powerlord

Last I checked, char isn't signed.

Wipqozn

awesome, thank you @WorldEngineer @badp

badp

@Powerlord who the heck knows. If it matters I'd specify it anyway.

@Wipqozn btw be aware you can't just write "00001111" in your C program :P

I think the syntax for writing out that number in base two is 0b00001111

Powerlord probably knows better.

Oh, apparently the idiom is to use signed char or unsigned char if it's not being used for characters.

Wipqozn

Also if I'm not mistaken 00001111 would be read as octal 1111, right?

What does "vana" mean in Spiral Knights? Someone just bailed from my party because they couldn't "make it to vana" and someone else in the arcade just said "guess we're back to vana running for today". What does that mean?

or is that 0o00001111? I know number literals beginning with a zero are the source of headaches, not sure what languages tho

And, honestly, SC2 isn't different enough from SC1 for me to warrant spending $180 for the same thing I can do for $20.

Q: What do the Secret Seashells do?

In Link's Awakening, sometimes I come across Secret Seashells, and the text that pops up says that if I collect a lot of them, something good is bound to happen. what will happen if I collect enough? (How many is enough, anyhow?)

Hehe

I especially like the Tap: Brohoof. XD

OrigamiRobot

@Zamual05 first and hopefully last time i ever type that

Zamual05

@OrigamiRobot Hehe, not a fan?

OrigamiRobot

@Zamual05 negative

Zamual05

@OrigamiRobot Gotcha, I have not really seen it so I can't really say if I like it or not. But I still find brohoof amusing. :P

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Is it because you refuse to watch the show? Or you've watched it and didn't like it?

OrigamiRobot

6:18 AM

@Tristan Never seen it. I have no opinion on the show. I'll watch anything. I'm just not a fan of bronyism is all.

it is fun to joke about

Zamual05

What are female fans of the show called? Sisronies? Hm...

Q: What shrines are good for me?

I'm playing through Diablo again and I want to know which of these shrines are actually benefiting me. They all provide cryptic messages that don't really tell me what exactly happened. I probably shouldn't be clicking them all, but alas it is a character flaw that I can't help. What ones should ...

Q: Is there a way to "unlearn" skills in Heroes III?

In Heroes of Might and Magic III your heroes gain skills as they level up. When you level up, you will be presented with two options for skills, one of which you can opt to learn. There are three tiers of each skill. Another way to gain skills is to get them from random objects in on the map. B...

@John As I mention in the comments, It's a bad premise for a question.

It basically amounts to "Videogame doesn't match my understanding of real life. Why?"

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot I honestly don't even consider myself a brony. I just changed my gravatar to this as a joke. <.< It got a tad out of hand.

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan I just enjoy being the counter-joke

Tristan

6:32 AM

@OrigamiRobot nothing wrong with that.

murgatroid99

@Zamual05 Usually "Brony" is used as a gender-neutral term, but sometimes they are called "Pega-sis"

Tristan

@murgatroid99 ...I didn't know that. o.o

Zamual05

@murgatroid99 Ah okay, that makes more sense and sounds better. Thanks! :D

Raven Dreamer

@John If you open a meta post about it, I'll go into longer details than I can in the comments. Your call.

Wooo! Got my Skrillex playlist working. I know that's not much of an accomplishment, but... Still.

There is a glitch in Skyrim (or maybe it is just mine?)where the game simply exits when you cross a certain point on the map or try to enter a location like a cave. Due to this glitch, I cannot complete the totems of hircine quest, and Aela the huntress won't stop following me. Is there a way to ...

Q: How do I complete the Invitation image?

In the gallery menu there's an Invitation image that is filled as I play. How do I complete it? Are there events that unlock each part or is it just the more I play the more it gets discovered?

Q: What type of strategy game is this? You rearrange positions?

What do you call games where you have to move and re-arrange cars or boxes to move a goal box into a location. There have been games like this since Atari, as far as I know. It's some kind of tactical game. I can maybe draw an example, as a kind of flow chart: 1. Goal Block Item xxxx x...
