10:00 PM
In PvP, you need numbers on your side, and I tend to play with small groups.
Though I am looking forward to the World vs. World vs. World PvP in Guild Wars 2
 
I'm such a jerk. Ugh.
 
@Mana Seeing as the other prospect of this engagement would've been confirming that, I think this does seem like the positive result.
 
@Mana No you're not.
 
@OrigamiRobot I see you still haven't joined the new chat room.

 Summoner's Rift

Because no one likes Twisted Treeline. Join our ingame chatroo...
 
@Mana Unless you were actively being mean to her, I wouldn't consider yourself a jerk. Sometimes it is hard to read people, especially if you don't do it on a regular basis.
 
10:01 PM
@Tristan I didnt know there was one
 
@GraceNote this.
 
@GraceNote Fair enough.
 
A lot of people do what you did at one point or another. People are stupid when it comes to stuff like this.
 
@Wipqozn this
 
Being a jerk would be like what one of my friends did to another friend of mine - he knew she had a crush on him (despite him currently having a GF), so he toyed with her emotions to the point that she really got wrecked from it.
 
10:02 PM
@GraceNote Uuuugh.
 
Any lawyers in here?
 
@GraceNote I hate people like that.
 
@RavenDreamer I don't think @LessPop's about
 
@RavenDreamer I've had more than my share of experience with them recently...
 
@RavenDreamer I know quite a bit about Bird Law.
 
10:02 PM
@FallenAngelEyes He's a lawyer?
 
Whether or not you knew she had a crush on you, as long as you weren't capitalizing or exploiting the potentiality of a crush, you're fine. If you simply didn't know and assumed you were unlikeable, I assume you're like a lot of the boys I used to know in that you just didn't think you were likeable.
@Wipqozn He knows law.
 
If you get in a car accident, and someone dies - what can you be charged with?
 
@RavenDreamer Manslaughter?
 
@RavenDreamer WOAH WHAT
 
@RavenDreamer Manslaughter/vehicular manslaughter.
 
10:03 PM
@RavenDreamer This does not fall under Bird Law...
 
@GraceNote yeah, I find a lot of guys, before they get their first GF, usually have the same "no one likes me" issues.
 
@Mana GOSh. It's for a story, okay?
 
@RavenDreamer Oh, phew.
 
@RavenDreamer My zeus. You almost gave me a heart attack sir!
 
Well, I'm gonna go grab food.
 
10:04 PM
I was all worried about you.
 
@Mana Make sure it's not poisoned.
 
That's right everyone, I do have a heart. (@john)
 
@GraceNote haha...thanks...:/
 
@GraceNote I lol'd
 
10:05 PM
Heh. But in seriosity, if you can stomach it, do indeed eat.
 
@Wipqozn And I can think of a million ways to continue this line of thinking afterwards.
 
Sickness tends to come in two fashions - the one where you can't eat, and the one where eating helps you recover. I sincerely hope your affliction is the latter.
 
@OrigamiRobot Same here.
I think I may start to carry around a drum set with me at all times so every time I crack a bad joke I can badum tish
 
@RavenDreamer Does Writers accept questions asking about facts for stories? You may have luck there if so, if you have further questions.
 
@OrigamiRobot For me, it turned into "I don't deserve her" which turned out to be right, which later turned out to be wrong... it's complicated.
 
10:08 PM
@ArdaXi Relationships are silly.
 
@ArdaXi Let's find a way to turn doubting yourself into a marketable skill.
 
@OrigamiRobot You just add confidence.
 
@Wipqozn Indeed.
 
soooooo.....video games?
 
@Raven If it was actually an accendent (no intent or misuse) then they cannot be charged, if the is intent to harm, or misuse then it's manslaughter, but if there is intent to kill then it's murder.
 
10:12 PM
@Wip I'll have to see it to believe it.
 
@OrigamiRobot Make sure you put in your application for the Gaming Grant.
 
@Tristan I don't want any of those and I am not a fan of the new structure.
 
@RonanForman Can't manslaughter be due to negligence too?
 
I don't like them requiring posts. Some games just don't make that many questions. :/
 
@Ulla That falls within misuse.
Or at least how I meant it.
 
10:14 PM
@John I think it's fair. If they kicked you out all together, I would agree, but you only have to sit out once.
I just dislike "must be questions"
 
@John True, but I think the majority of the games in the line-up can have an adequate amount of questions.
 
@Tristan I think The Darkness II might not lend itself to a large volume of questions (not complicated gameplay, not complicated story...)
 
@IanPugsley True. The same can be said of Soul Calibur. But KoA and FF13-2 should net some pretty good questions.
 
I guess I should brush up on finding questions to ask in games before they offer a game I want.
 
@John How do you do that?
 
10:17 PM
I have asked 14 questions in 8 months. I just don't have trouble figuring things out for myself most of the time. Most of my questions were for Skyrim vs. MW3 and I exploited to win that.
 
Look harder for potential problems people might face and practice writing good questions.
 
@RonanForman I was thinking "It's raining, and my car hydroplanes through a building and kills a hypothetical person".
 
user30
awwwwwwwww yeeaaaaaah android humble bundle
 
@OrigamiRobot ^this, it's biased against smart people. :(
 
user30
Now I can add 4 games to my collection of 1.
 
10:18 PM
@RavenDreamer Were you speeding?
 
@RavenDreamer That doesn't sound illegal.
 
I mean, was your fictional character speeding?
 
@RavenDreamer Honestly, if there was no substance abuse involved, or speeding, it wouldn't be considered illegal.
 
@Wipqozn Undeterminable.
Inexperienced driver, though.
 
I really hope this is a hypothetical "for a story" question.
and not a "I just ran down some old lady with my car" question
 
10:20 PM
@RavenDreamer Now if it didn't kill the person, then nothing bad would happen. I speak from experience. >.>
 
@Wipqozn It is!
@Wipqozn I am not commenting on this, however. Shifty eyes
 
@Raven That sounds like an accedent so he won't actually charged. But if they think they were doing something wrong they it could be manslaughter.
 
@RonanForman Eeeexcellent.
(The, if they think they were doing something wrong, part)
 
@Wipqozn I've done something similar to that....
 
10:24 PM
And on that morbid note, back to concrastinating! (I have a story due)
 
@RonanForman I get off work in 30 minutes. I'd be glad to help whenever I can.
 
@John I lost it at the creeper doing the worm.
 
@Tristan :D
 
@John Speaking of Minecraft...
Guess who those are? =P
 
10:35 PM
@Tristan wanna help me try out Caitlyn in a bit?
 
@OrigamiRobot Sure.
 
@Tristan Um....hint?
 
@John You wouldn't know because you've never played the games... <.<
 
thought so. Must be Zelda people.
 
Not quite.
 
10:37 PM
No?
 
@John Final Fantasy
 
There are quite a few games I haven't played...
Never would've guessed that.
Ever.

Q: Redstone loop not working

DeiomeneAfter building and exploring in Minecraft, I chose this sticky piston mob grinder to learn about redstone - which may have been a bit too ambitious, as I'm having problems with the loop which sends pulses to the sticky pistons. I have it set it up like this, and the circuit lights up when I step...

Q: Does the time played stack in a class when in a vehicle in battlefield 3?

FoxtrotThere are many awards that players can strive for in Battlefield 3. A few medals are for a decent amount of time played in a vehicle, emplaced weapon, and class. If I were to play with the Assault kit, and get into a tank, would this add time to both the assault played and time in a tank? (for ...

Q: What is best sniper position in CoD: MW3 Special Op: Resistance

iraSenthilWhat is the best place to use sniper guns in Call of Duty: MW3 Special Ops "Resistance" survival mode?

 
@WorldEngineer I own it, just not via Steam.
 
@John It's Cloud from FF7, Terra from FF6, and Faris from FF5... You need to play them.
I also made @GnomeSlice's gravatar out of boredom last night.
 
10:40 PM
@Tristan You didn't get my permission.
You jerk.
 
@GnomeSlice SOPA didn't pass. It's fine.
 
@Tristan The middle one is Terra. The far left one looks a bit like locke... but looks more like cloud in 8-bit. Not sure who the far-right one is.
 
@Mana ATTA BOY.
@Tristan How is it fine.
 
@Tristan Change "in a bit" to "later tonight"
 
@OrigamiRobot Change "sure" to "if I'm awake"
 
10:42 PM
@gnomeslice Parody law.
 
@OrigamiRobot Anything I end up hung up on for more than say, a few minutes, I will usually ask a question about
Because I think it then stands to reason that others may be stuck about the same thing
so even if I figure it out myself, I ask here
 
@RonanForman ?
 
@GnomeSlice parody falls under fair use
 
:For fair use in copyright law, see Fair use. In the United States, trademark law includes a fair use defense, sometimes called "trademark fair use" to distinguish it from the better-known fair use doctrine in copyright. As with copyright law, the trademark fair use doctrine is premised in significant part on the First Amendment guarantees of free speech. Fair use is consistent with the more limited protection granted to trademarks, generally specific only to the particular product market and geographic area of the trademark owner.

@FallenAngelEyes Thats what I do on boardgames. I have known the answer to all of my question, but I know it's something useful for others.
 
10:44 PM
@OrigamiRobot So just apply that to here, and there you go :D
 
Also, since I'm not using it to make any sort of profit, it's not copyright infringement.
 
He said he made it, not that he parodied it.
 
@FallenAngelEyes But here, someone else has likely already asked it by that time.
But to be clear, @GnomeSlice does hold the copyright on his avatar if he created it.
 
@GnomeSlice Then shouldn't Square Enix also be suing him?
 
@OrigamiRobot Go for anything non-intuitive or that you're wondering about (within reason of course). Oooor you could also dip into the other end of the spectrum, more detailed questions involving math or formulae that may not be readily apparent.
 
10:46 PM
@Ullallulloo Probably.
 
@Wipqozn You're right. It's Cloud in 16-bit. The far right one is Faris.
 
@Tristan That looks really painful.
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, painfully fun!
 
Back home @badp?
 
@FallenAngelEyes I just don't think I can find 8 questions in 2 weeks.
 
Aeo
10:51 PM
Hmmm... Ok, brown wool in minecraft does not look like a dirt road... Can't use dirt, since it turns to grass... Maybe I'd better go with a gravel road... But then it'll crush the redstone torches below the path...
 
@OrigamiRobot Then you're obviously not playing enough vidya.
 
@Aeo No it won't, as long as it doesnt fall on it, you can place it fine.
 
@Aeo Cobblestone?
 
And it'll break the gravel, not the torch.
 
Stone bricks?
 
10:54 PM
@Aeo Use a texture pack to make brown wool look like dirt :P
@GnomeSlice I don't know his situation. Stop finding flaws in my plans.
 
@OrigamiRobot I dunno what to tell you. :(
 
Sorry.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I'll just participate every other week. Just like before.
 
Aeo
@RonanForman Well I'll be... That does work. I'd have swore up and down it would have all fallen in. Thank you.
 
@Wipqozn Aye, thanks
 
10:57 PM
@Aeo I'm pretty sure there is also a way to prevent grass from growing on dirt blocks. I don't know off the top of my head
 
In other news
"Windows, Mac, GNU/Linux, and Android!"
If you've bought previous bundles the only new thing is Edge.
 
@badp Welcome back
 
The only one of those I don't own for PC is World of Goo.
Which I own for Wii.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I was about to say that doesn't make sense since I just left the Netherlands
 
@Aeo if you don't put your dirt near water, or other grass, it won't grow grass.
 
10:59 PM
@badp But you're back in chat :D
Was your cat happy to see you? :)
 
@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, I realized :D
@FallenAngelEyes She was very deeply asleep. I woke her up, she gazed quickly at me then went back to sleep immediately.
I guess I'll get a proper welcome back tomorrow.
 
@Gnome Just the other grass bit, water has nothing to do with it.
 
@RonanForman Dirt next to water generates grass.
 
Aeo
@GnomeSlice Yeah. Therein lies the problem... I am aiming to have a dirt path along in a bunch of grass. lol
 
No it doesn't. I'm pretty sure.
 
11:01 PM
@RonanForman Dirt anywhere will grow grass eventually.
 
@badp Hahaha, sounds very much, well, like a cat
 
Where are you getting this information?
 
@FallenAngelEyes Yup <3
I mean, if it was a dog I'd have been pretty much physically assaulted on sight
 
In general though, I imagine it feels good to be home
Haha yep

Q: Wii browser capabilities: Specifically: chat/JS/Flash/local storage

Program.XI've been asked about the specific capabilities of the Nintendo Wii. Does it have a web browser? If so, is it suitably enabled with JavaScript/Flash, etc.? I'm thinking could it support a chatroom-type scenario? Is it possible for the web browser to save web content onto some form of local stor...

 
11:03 PM
@RonanForman I've never had a dirt block not grow grass.
 
> Dirt is generally used for terraforming. When a Dirt block is adjacent to a Grass-covered block and is exposed to a light level of at least 4 (usually from torches or sunlight), it will eventually be converted into a Grass block; the exact time this happens is random and unpredictable.
 
@RonanForman That makes sense. So it will only grow grass if it's next to a grass block?
 
Yeah. It has to be in one of the cardinal directions and the same y value +-1
 
Gotcha.
 
Also, @Tristan, the more MLP I watch, the more I like fluttershy
 
11:12 PM
@Wipqozn As it should be.
 
That entire episode is full of awesome fluttershy moments
 
It looks the same, but it's different.
 
Easy, boys.
Don't make me wave my modstick.
 
@RavenDreamer Don't worry, we're done spamming chat with videos.
 
You don't want to see his modstick.
Much less see it waved.
 
11:20 PM
Also, when does SE become a new day?
I've used up all my stars again :(
 
Wiggled is a more accurate description.
 
@Wipqozn 40 minutes
 
@Wipqozn 40 minutes.
 
thank you kind sirs
 
Grrrrr
 
11:21 PM
@RonanForman Too slow. Clearly not moderator material.
SHOW ME YOUR FURIOUS TYPING SKILLS
 
@RavenDreamer His nomination is a video. Your point is invalid.
 
It was good considering I'm using an iPod.
 
@RonanForman iPods have internet access?
 
wait. He mispells LAZERS. Vote rescinded.
 
@Fallen IPod touches do.
 
11:27 PM
@RonanForman Huh, funky. I've never owned an iThingy, so I didn't know.
 
@badp I thought that would ztimulate a response from you.
 
@RonanForman My main retort is that lazers, or even lasers, are no longer really an acronym. So there.
 
"The term "laser" originated as an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." #
 
@Wipqozn Did I show you the video of the guy playing a Majora's Mask song on wine glasses?
 
11:30 PM
@Tristan I don't believe so.
 
Even if you consider Laser to still be an acronym, it makes even less sense given that our Light Amplification process is based on Zeta Epsilon Radiations from Space. Hence, LAZERS.
 
"lazers" = 350 results http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=lazers
"lasers" = about 1,400,000 results http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=lasers
 
@badp So your argument is: "It's not really an acronym anymore, so I can spell it how I please"?
 
@NickT See? Lazers are a thing.
 
@Wipqozn Sent you the link on Steam so I'm not flooding chat with videos. Specifically because I've posted it here before, but can't find it in the transcripts.
 
11:31 PM
@RonanForman Your point is it's an acronym for this and thus it needs to be spelled like that. My counter is it's not an acronym. shrug
 
@badp most of the "lazers" results are tainted
Hot Tickets: Virgin Mobile FreeFest, 9: 30 Club fall schedule, David Sedaris
B Weigel - 2011 - sexydateclub.com
Sexy Date Club Passion. Sexydateclub C Sex Sexy Club Sexy En 8644 LARPD LAZERS
 
@NickT Lazers are not easy to handle. There's a reason we only discharge them very rarely.
 
7: 30 PM
S Friday - No Study, 2 - norfolksoccer.org
... 11:00AM U18/19G Columbus Focus v Kearney Storm U18/19G Norfolk Express v Yankton Breeze
U11B Norfolk White v Kearney Blue Devils U13-15G Norfolk Lazers
 
@badp Sometimes after an extensive period of lag, thus flooding the screen with questions.
 
Also lazers are well known for their superior sex appeal and sports capabilities.
2
 
11:33 PM
@badp Last time I checked, we're not.
 
@badp someone should star that.... because I can't...
 
@Tristan We need to limit the rate at which we charge the lazers, but the income rate of Zeta Epsilon Radiations from Space isn't constant. Excess Zeta Epsilon Radiations from Space leaks onto chat, in condensed question format.
So long as the leaks are within threshold it's fine. Healthy, even.
Lord knows we could do with more Zeta Epsilon Radiations from Space.
 
@FallenAngelEyes what in the wowherewhynow?
 
My response to @badp
 
I think I'm going to make some campain posters, like: "A vote for me is a vote for me" type thing.
 
11:37 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz @Raven was asking for a lawyer; from what I've seen, you're the closest we've got
 
@FallenAngelEyes If I'm the closest thing you have to a lawyer, you're in big trouble.
 
@Tristan Dude, it's LAZERS science. I'm not surprised you don't get it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz You might be a lawyer of... mapping...
 
@FallenAngelEyes My expertise is in Legislation, not Law - that is to say, my background is in policy, not practice.
 
It makes as much sense as homeopathy and astrology.
 
11:39 PM
My class in SWTOR got nerfed today. :(
No more one shotting AFK pubbies in the Voss cantina. :(
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Haha what
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ah gotcha
 
@FallenAngelEyes So, one of the planets in SWTOR is Voss.
Voss is the only planet with a shared city that both Republic and Empire get quests in.
It has a shared neutral cantina.
There are no guards enforcing this neutrality however, and it's not marked as Sanctuary on PVP servers.
So, until today, being an awesome Operative (think Vanilla WoW rogue sort of burst), I could stealth in and one shot them.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's... a recipe for if I ever saw one
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I can hardly wait.
 
@RavenDreamer It's a nice change of pace.
Really, PVP servers are so meaningless in TOR for the most part.
 
11:42 PM
I'm working on another app, and it told me there was a day I posted zero answers and I thought it was a bug. Turns out there was a day I didn't post any answers. color me surprised.
 
Since even on the shared worlds, republic and empire areas are so largely segregated from each other.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Speak for yourself. I got chased across Tatooine for half an hour by bored level 50's this weekend.
 
@tombull89 Apparently we can't have fire applied to that nomination from high above.
 
I think they were killing world bosses.
 
Nothing we can do about it.
 
11:43 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Lacking WoW expertise, I'll take your word for it. Did you get any PvP credit (Valor, I think?) for that or no?
 
@FallenAngelEyes No valor from world pvp.
Just the satisfaction of the perfect gank.
 
Ah, okay
haha

@TimStone wtf internet
 
11:51 PM
@TimStone Didn't you know? The basic formula for internet popularity is "cat + stupid activity"
Honestly, everything else on the internet that's famous is basically just a fluke
 
Ok people! We only need 1 more candidate to delay our elections by a week!
 
@DaveMcClelland Yeah, but who decided to bring food into the mix? Cats aren't bacon!
 
@TimStone hence the "stupid activity"
If cats were able to plank, the internet would implode
3
 
Point taken
 
@DaveMcClelland aren't cats technically owling often though? I mean my cat has a position that I swear looks like she's owling.
is the internet eventually going to divide by zero?
 
11:55 PM
@agent86 Owling is a bad name for that. It's basically something humans do to emulate cats.
They hope that they'll be able to substitute humans emulating cats in for cats in the internet popularity equation. It fails, though, of course
 
@DaveMcClelland so would you say we're "catting"?
uh oh, brace yourself:
user image
2
 
@agent86 I would rather refer to it as "jackassing," but I suppose that works too
 
@DaveMcClelland I don't see the difference between our terms, so I'll assume we're in agreement.
 
@agent86 Cat planking is the new trend.
 
11:57 PM
ALL THE PICTURES
 
oh god, internet, I'm so sorry... I didn't mean for this to end this way
forgive me
