I love that @Raven basically already has enough upvotes for the first gold tag badge on the site, but won't get it until he answers another hundred questions.
 
@Tristan And after you finish those 4282 questions, you can start on all the other tags. :P
 
@alexanderpas That's only about chat though.
 
@John 4282 questions? Maybe I'll just stick to learning as I go...
 
@John hehe... i tought we start easy ;)
 
12:02 AM
@Tristan Although I strongly suggest searching for related questions before posting any actual question around here on how something works.
 
@John I can do that. lol
 
@Tristan By question, I mean like, on a site. You're fine asking here.
 
@John I figured. @alexanderpas Sweet. Thanks.
 
Just checking. :)

Q: What are Daily Commendations?

svickOn Belsavis, I found a "Mission Support Vendor" who sells level 50 modifications (and speeders) for Daily Commendations. What are they? How can I get them? Are they only for level 50 characters?

Q: Minecraft: How do I make a 1x1x2 piston door that opens when I step on a plate and not the other way around?

JonathanI need to make a piston door that opens when a plate is stepped on, it is normally the other way around. Does anyone know how? A video would be helpful but not required.

 
Am I the only one that thinks pistons aren't worth the amount of redstone programming required to run them?
 
@Lazers open != close
@Tristan pistons are redstone programming.
 
@alexanderpas What I mean is, say someone wants to make a piston elevator instead of the old fashioned water+boat elevator, they need an insane amount of redstone circuitry for it. So much, in fact, that it isn't even space-saving.
 
A paternoster or paternoster lift is a passenger elevator which consists of a chain of open compartments (each usually designed for two persons) that move slowly in a up and down inside a building without stopping. Passengers can step on or off at any floor they like. The same technique is also used for filing cabinets to store great amounts of (paper) documents or for small spare parts. As a result of safety issues, many such lifts have been shut down, however a small few survive around the world, the largest of these located in the Arts Tower at the University of Sheffield, which also...
 
@alexanderpas I don't really think that helps answer my question either...
 
12:11 AM
> Improving the chances of getting on and off
I lol'd
 
@RonanForman there are way more cabs compared to normal elevators.
 
I know, but the fact that you may get suck on it amuses me.
 
Weeew! Basement Boy GET!
 
You can get stuck in a 'normal' elevator too.
 
@LessPop Not when it's working.
 
12:17 AM
To say nothing of the fact that a standard elevator could bisect you.
 
Five people were killed by paternosters from 1970 to 1993 --- An average of 26 people die in elevators each year in the U.S.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz ... How can I NOT click that link?
 
Yes that story is as horrific as it sounds and I know several people around here that refuse to ride elevators in NYC ATM, after that incident and this one a week later.
Tl;dr: elevators are death traps.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz Yeah, but... The woman being burned alive wasn't really the elevators fault. Didn't some guy attack her?
 
@Tristan in an elevator.
She was trapped in there.
 
12:21 AM
Elevators are safer than cars. There are an average of 26 car deaths every five hours in the U.S.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz I still don't really blame the elevator for that, though.
 
@alexanderpas so, you're ~1800x more likely to die in a car than an elevator you're saying?
@Tristan You also don't live in a town where that was the first story to manage to take away news coverage from the other elevator story. We had a good week of non stop, wall to wall ELEVATOR DEATH SCARE in our news.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz yes, also: Most people who die in elevators are elevator technicians.
 
@alexanderpas But is that adjusted for population? We really need to break these stats down by passanger/minute.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz True...
 
12:24 AM
@alexanderpas And most people who die in cars are drivers. What's your point?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz drivers are not car technicians.
 
ooh, I'm 2 shy of the first MW3 badge the site has ever given out :D
 
@agent86 Two what?
 
2 votes or 2 answers?

Q: If a takeover is used in co-op, does the second player also get the bonus?

CyberSkullIn Saints Row the Third if player one uses a city takeover to secure a district will player two also get all activities in the district marked as complete? I have 2 hard Insurance Fraud activities left and am hoping I can join someone's game when they go to use a takeover perk to get those done. ...

 
Well then grats.
It's not about total questions. You need to have written at least 20 answers.
High five unique tag badge buddy.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ah, yeah, you're right. I can never keep all the parameters straight
@LessPop_MoreFizz which is your unique badge?
 
@alexanderpas wewt!
 
12:33 AM
too.
 
ah, indeed. it looks like someone's about to catch up to you
 
If I write 13 more answers, I have the up votes already for a silver badge too.
 
gaming.stackexchange.com/badges?tab=tags for an overview of all tag badges!
 
but that's quite impressive given that TOR is so fresh
 
Yeah, @svick is close.
 
12:34 AM
if there were more SR3 questions, I'd have a SR3 badge
 
I have close to 1400 rep, and I honestly don't feel like any of my questions/answers warranted as many upvotes as they received. o.O
 
@Tristan I know, I don't believe that quality of answer and number of upvotes are related, really :) the more popular a question is, the more votes its answers get, generally

A: How do I do a Barrel Roll?

alexanderpasIf you look at the screen, you will notice it'll give you a hint on how to perform the barrel roll in the text blurb. You can perform a barrel roll by pressing Z or R twice Here is a video showing the blurb and a successful barrel roll. ...

 
@agent86 I guess. I think the only answer I've ever given that was actually worth any of the upvotes it got was my comparisons to BF3 and MW3.
 
@Tristan like I think my #2 most upvoted answer is a TF2 demoman sticky jump answer I banged out in a couple of minutes, and I've probably got some at 2 or 3 upvotes where I felt like I went above and beyond.
it all kind of evens out though
 
12:37 AM
Is there a way to see your most upvoted question/answer?
 
@Tristan yeah, you can order your answers by votes in your profile
 
also, there's a tab for your answers and questions, you can order this too.
 
@agent86 Yep... I found that about 1/2 a second after I asked. =\ Sorry. lol
 
@Tristan heh, that's OK :) there's a billion ways to slice data on this site, it's pretty crazy.
 
12:40 AM
@agent86 Yes they have a whole other site just for that.
@alexanderpas Oh, you just beat me to it.
 
indeed. not to mention the API.
 
and that doesn't even onebox.
that does onebox.
time to go to meta!
 
@alexanderpas What really? Not that I ever tried though.
 
Ouch... I have 0 upvotes on an answer I gave over a month ago. lol
 
@alexanderpas Chat gets the logo URL from the API, and information about the Data Explorer isn't in the API.

12:52 AM
@Tristan When's the last time you've built (or used) a water+boat elevator? They don't work anymore...
 
@John About a year ago... =(
 
@Tristan Yeah, the reason people are building piston elevators is because you can't build water+boat elevators anymore.
I was so made about that because I had just finished a 60 block tall solid glass one.
Legitly.
 
@John blocks or panels?
 
@Tristan Oh yes I played it once a while back. A little frustrating as I remember.
 
12:54 AM
@alexanderpas people don't like my answer on meta that mentioned that upvotes != quality after a dozen or so (though there are other controversial things in it as well)
 
@alexanderpas Blocks. They didn't introduce panels until long after water elevators were gone.
 
@John Yes I had made one too almost just before they "fixed" it.
 
@alexanderpas That's the one. I seem to be addicted to that game. @RedriderX Yes... It's very frustrating.
@John Why don't they work anymore?
 
@Tristan Because they "fixed" the bug that the water elevator exploited.
 
@Tristan Because boats don't rise in water unless it's completely source blocks. Also, boats have become too glitchy. They just glitch through the walls and get stuck a lot.
 
12:57 AM
Lame...
 
@John Yes they are way more prone to "blacking out" in walls now.

@RedriderX It's sickening.
@alexanderpas I don't know, I've never seen or built one.

12:59 AM
@John 2 wide, alternate water with signs. (chessboard pattern)
 
@RedriderX Yeah... But I already have several. lol
 
@alexanderpas Oh that design. I don't think that works...
 
Can I ask something totally random?
 
@alexanderpas Wait, Chessboard pattern in what dimension?
@RedriderX Don't we all?
 
@John all of them!
 
1:00 AM
Alright, another question. Am I the luckiest Binding of Isaac player ever because I found Krampus in a Deal with the Devil room on my 2nd playthrough of the game? =\
 
@alexanderpas ALL the dimensions?!?
 
@John Well here you go:
Are dual prods an appropriate steampunk analogy to medieval-fantasy dual daggers?
 
@RedriderX Stock answer: I have no idea.
 
@alexanderpas Wait, does that include... the 4th dimension?
 
@RedriderX 4th dimension: different worlds?
 
1:04 AM
@alexanderpas Time. It's the latest 4th dimension.
 
@alexanderpas time
 
@Ullallulloo I was actually just going to have you back that up.
 
In mathematics, four-dimensional space ("4D") is an abstract concept derived by generalizing the rules of three-dimensional space. It has been studied by mathematicians and philosophers for almost three hundred years, both for its own interest and for the insights it offered into mathematics and related fields. Algebraically it is generated by applying the rules of vectors and coordinate geometry to a space with four dimensions. In particular a vector with four elements (a 4-tuple) can be used to represent a position in four-dimensional space. The space is a Euclidean space, so has a m...
 
@John Well I'm working on this steampunk themed mod for a single player PnP game... It's kind of complicated.
@alexanderpas Sorry, my bad. space-time.
 
@RedriderX PnP?
Google givesme "Portable North Pole" and "Philipine national police".
 
1:06 AM
@John pen and paper
 
@John Print n' Play.
 
Ah.
 
@alexanderpas Well and that actually.
@alexanderpas I do actually draw it out my self.
 
@RedriderX so it's a PnP PnP game.
 
@RedriderX why aren't daggers steampunk enough?
 
1:08 AM
@alexanderpas It's a PnP^2 game!
 
@OrigamiRobot there's no steam in it ;)
 
Ahhh how do you make a superposed 2?
 
@RedriderX just keep it at PnP^2, and you suck at HTML (double open, forgot the close tag.)
 
I found this but it looks unwieldy
 
@alexanderpas Oh MAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THAT!!!!

Q: SEO for AC: Revelations

Nick TShould the AC: Revelations tag be ac-revelations instead of the current assassins-creed-revel?

The only questions that seem to turn up when Googling are those that actually u...

 
I am ashamed.
@OrigamiRobot Very nice. I also need SteamPunk swords.
 
@alexanderpas Wow, that would be an effective dagger. But not as a dagger.
 
gunblades... always acceptable :D
 
1:12 AM
@alexanderpas Ummm no. Never acceptable.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz Always.
 
@alexanderpas Except if there are too many guns it kind of eliminates all hand-to-hand combat.
 
@RedriderX Honestly? What's not steampunk about daggers anyway?
 
Well got to go, nite
 
Jack the Ripper not Victorian enough for you?
 
1:13 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Thats what I'm saying
 
@RedriderX until the bullets are gone.
 
Throw some gears on the hilt. Done.
 
A Steampunk dagger might be more likely to be mechanical in some way - say... a good switchblade, or an absurd, swiss army knife type contraption...
 
@LessPopMoreFizz Tzenes is closer to the gold starcraft 2 badge, I think.
 
Like, if you wanted to get all fancy, how about a pneumatic vibro-knife, for easier cutting of bones?
Designed for doctors, abused by thugs!
 
1:15 AM
@NickT I just googled assassins creed revel and got 2 GamingSE questions on the first page. =\
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz giggles
 
@RavenDreamer Difference being that there is still active skyrim activity. Starcraft is... less active.
 
@alexanderpas reminds me vaguely of how Ezio needs to stab people before yanking them off a roof
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz For now. Heart of the Swarm will kick it back front and center
 
@Tristan um, yes, and how common is "revel" instead of "revelations" or "ac:r" or whatever?
 
1:16 AM
@RavenDreamer Possibly. Depends on how much impact HOTS has on the multiplayer scene. If it's minimal and it's mainly campaign questions, they'll die out as fast as they come I suspect.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Protoss is getting 50% of their air units changed.
If nothing else, I expect a lot of "wtf, where did my Carriers go?!"
 
@RavenDreamer and only questions on that level because pros go to TL.net or w/e
 
@NickT We will have lots of campaign questions to boot.
 
I'm willing to bet carriers will still be in campaign :P

1:20 AM
@IanPugsley Thanks! I'll check it out in a bit.
 
would grief but doesn't own said game
 
@NickT Maybe I'm just not fully comprehending what you're asking. Googling assassins creed revel vs ac revelations, I come up with pretty much the same results. ac:r pulls up a bunch of non-assassins creed related results.
 
@Tristan "assassins creed revelations books" shows no gaming.se answers
 
"assassins creed revel books" has only our answers
 
1:24 AM
@NickT Oh, I get what you're saying now. Modify the tag so it gets picked up by more specific searches, and not people searching for "revel" specifically.
 
@Tristan yes, if you google "assassins creed revel" which is exactly our tag, you will get our stuff, but my point is who is going to abbreviate "revel" as such
google generally knows "ac" = "assassins creed" (and probably always when coupled with "revelations", "brotherhood", etc), but not that "revel" = "revelations"
 
@NickT Makes sense to me. I wasn't trying to belittle your post, I was just a tad confused.
 
@Tristan psh, pretty tame 'belittling' lol
 
@NickT I couldn't think of a better word for it. o.o

I ran frantically around the city but couldn't catch up to the arrow indicator on the map. I did find a dead body though ...

Q: How do I get higher career ranks?

victoriahI get messages from time to time saying I got "promoted" in my career, but I can't figure out what triggers that.

Q: Should you post an answer if you're not sure it's true?

JohnoBoyInspired by this answer. When I see a question on the site and I think of an answer but not sure if it's true (as opposed to "think it's true" but eventually being proved wrong), I start off by commenting on the question, maybe suggest my answer but not answering it, to make sure my answer could...

Q: What chapters can I complete without spending $300 on this game?

TaskWe got Skylanders for the kid for Christmas. Consequently, I've been playing a fair amount of Skylanders. It's got good points and bad points, but it is fun to play, so I guess overall we'll have to call it a win. Via Chapter Select I can go back to previous areas that have already been played...

Well I would be uploading the TF2 video right now, but my brother's hogging all the bandwidth.
Okay he's stopped and it's still not working, odd.
 
@RonanForman What a dick.
 
@Wipqozn Well if I was uploading then I'd be hogging the bandwidth instead.
Also Game on! went fine yesterday, we all had fun and some random people turned up.
 
@RonanForman Super excellent.
 
We tried to convert them, I don't know if it worked.
 
@RonanForman convert them...?
to Gaming.SE?

crashes through Smooth Jazz
 
@Fredy31 Now how am I supposed to complete the test‽
 
Heavy Rock will be deployed in 3... 2... 1...
 
I think this violates testing protocol.
I'm calling GLaDOS on you!
 
I'm calling Cave Johnson on you.
 
Cave Johnson is dead! I killed him! With the lemons!
Ever since I saw the Shop-Vac one, kinetic typography can no longer impress me. :(
 
3:15 PM
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Cave Johnson! My life model!
 
Tangentially related, but so amazing:
 
@ArdaXi That one was excellent
 
I don't think I've seen a better one
 
Me neither. I'm spoilt now.
 
3:22 PM
@ArdaXi That one is amazing. On a slightly related note, it seems like I can't create YouTube comments
 
@ArdaXi That was amazing.
 
Plus, Jonathan Coulton is just amazing. That solo wasn't his own, he just asked his fans to make one for him.
 
@ArdaXi With a combination of here and twitter I think I can work out exactly how your mind works.
 
@RonanForman Well, how does my mind work.
 
@ArdaXi Yeah, he's one of my favorite musicians
 
3:25 PM
@ArdaXi I said work out, not know, give me some time.
 
@RonanForman It's a CC-BY-SA lyric, give me a break.
 
Can someone who youtube is working for them upload this: dl.dropbox.com/u/895336/TF2%20montage.mp4
It'll be done in 25 minutes.

It'll be done in 25 minutes.
 
@RonanForman ah, I thought you meant it would take 25 minutes to upload to youtube.
 
3:26 PM
@RonanForman I can, but I don't have access to the GamingSE account.
 
@ArdaXi There ya go.
 
I really should set up FTP on my server
Never could get that working for some reason.
 
@NickT I misunderstood the question. I thought he was asking about the tracks inside the reactor, and not the pipes in the reactor view. I answered that right before I went to bed too, so I didn't catch my mistake until this morning.
 
Is our Battlefield 3 server still up?

Q: What can we do to promote the Gaming.StackExchange Battlefield 3 Server?

Tom GrochowiczWe have a lovely 32-player server generously provided to our community, but I don't think I've ever seen enough players to even start a game! We currently have a very lovely ad airing on our network: But is there anything else we can do to promote it?

 
3:50 PM
huh, odd.
Is it not possible to make a question Community Wiki?
 
@Wipqozn It is not, because that is not what Community Wiki is for!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I suppose
I was trying to do it for meta and what not
oh well, I'll modify it slightly

Q: Certain areas cause a game crash [PC]

user45795I have over 120 Hours in Skyrim on PC. I've completed the civil war (stormcloak) and the main quest. I'm now trying to complete the Dark Brotherhood, but anytime I go anywhere near Soltidue to do "Bound Until Death", by walking from a nearby location or fast-travel, the game crashes with a "Skyri...

 
I really should just ignore , I've got like 20 or 30 hours logged in that game but I tend to just f-up every question that comes along about it!
 
@Wipqozn You know better than to give your question a stupid title like that...
@agent86 is hard.
 
3:58 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz That actually was my original title. I made a typo so I went to fix it... and then forgot to finish typing it
oops
 
Best thing about TOR? I can set my companions to craft shit and go AFK for half an hour!
Productive AFK time is the best.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I love it, except that I hate the controls for it. Also that I suck at it.

@agent86 That is about where I stand on Spacechem as well.
 
woo, freehand circles and pictures of my TV

A: Where do I find the Templar dens in assasins creed revelations

agent86All of the maps I can find of all of Constantinople seem to be focused on finding the Animus fragments, and not the Templar Dens, unfortunately. The templar dens are pretty easy to locate, however. Each one is marked on your map from the start of the game, I believe. The icon looks a little o...

 
4:08 PM
That downloads pretty fast
 
I seriously think of galaga or something similar whenever I see that den icon. I want it to start moving back and forth at the bottom of the screen and pew pew pewing the animus fragments on the map or something.

Uploading.
 
holy, nice speed
 
Wow, this is uploading faster than I'd expected.
 
Also, hello everyone. Been a while :P
 
4:11 PM
@RonanForman I'll leave the metadata to you.
Now that's how the intro is supposed to work.
 
Here's the montage I made, it's only 240p atm, but it will get better.
 
YouTube finished processing it.

Q: Gaming Stack Exchange Server List

WipqoznWe have an increasing number of Gaming Stack Exchange servers for things ranging from Team Fortress 2 to Terraria. I've posted a community wiki answer to keep track of all the servers. Use the following format: Game/Program: name of game/program Address: server address Password: password of ...

 
anybody know how long CtW took last time?
I'm available for about an hour an a half at the start and would love to play
 
4:27 PM
@IanPugsley 50 minutes
 
awesome
any official player count for this one yet, or are we just hoping we get enough?
 
@IanPugsley No official count
 
@RonanForman cool - how exactly would this work?
 
@IanPugsley Ask marco.
 
I'm on a residential ISP, so my IP will change on occasion
oh adoy
 
@IanPugsley I can update it pretty regularly, I'll eventually have a web form that you can fill out and have it update/add new ones
once the new Stack Exchange API goes live so that users on gaming.se can connect their accounts to the site
 
@MarcoCeppi oh neat, okay
 
4:47 PM
until then, you can just reply to the thread, or ping me in chat I am always on
 
yeah, I updated the thread with the current server info
that dyndns will always be active though, so I guess if you wanted you could grab the IP from that (not sure what you're doing on your end, really)
 
@MarcoCeppi I love the current homepage on stackgaming lolol
Go away
 
heh, one day it'll have cool info
 
Just checking, the survival MC server is @Thomas' isn't it.
 
@IanPugsley I can just setup a CNAME record for DynDNS
 
4:50 PM
@RonanForman I think it is, but I wasn't sure.
Which is why I left the host as ????
 
@RonanForman I'm pretty sure it is
 
@MarcoCeppi cool
 
we should have a list of the stackgaming stuff.
 
@RonanForman I lol'd
 
4:53 PM
@IanPugsley terraria.stackgaming.com now points to your DynDNS account
 
@alexanderpas When I signed on this morning I thought to myself "Why the heck don't we have this yet?"
 
@Wipqozn grr... you made that while I had dinner.
 
@MarcoCeppi nice
 
@RonanForman I think @Thomas runs it, but based on some early talk in the MC room, I think @TimStone pays for it?
 
If you're planning to attend Capture the Wool today, can you make a post in the Game On! room please?
