And there we go. Minimum bid on the Skorn.
 
Weird, there isn't any question on the front page right now
 
@YiJiang Oh, so it's not just my internet
 
Yeah, they must be feeding the server hamsters again
There we go, back up now
 
@MarkTrapp Oh boy. I wonder if this one has an actual basis for asking.
@MarkTrapp: At least that one can be closed as General Reference, since it's answered on the wikipedia page
Ianto Jones is a fictional character in the BBC television series Torchwood, played by Welsh actor Gareth David-Lloyd. A series regular, Ianto appears in every episode of the programme's first three series, as well as two crossover episodes of Torchwoods parent show, Doctor Who. Additionally, Ianto appears in Expanded Universe material such as the Torchwood novels and audiobooks, comic books and radio plays. Within the narrative of the series, Ianto serves as general support officer for Torchwood Three, a team of alien hunters stationed in Cardiff. Initially the regular character with the...
I mean if that's okay with gilles.
He may have arbitrarily changed the rules for general reference again.
So, uh, is anyone having trouble with the site?
 
12:22 AM
Yeah
 
Oh, if I looked slightly up I'd see yi was complaining about the same thing.
 
Looks like the hamsters need feeding agian

12:55 AM
@Wipqozn
 
Evening guys
I need game tips again. :)
 
@ZetaTwo if it's about Diablo 3, then you're in luck!
 
Do any of you know of any "assymetrical" multiplayer games?
I.e. where the players have different goals, or play in different ways
or something like that
 
user2334
Primal Carnage is a online asymmetrical class-based multiplayer computer game developed by independent game studio Lukewarm Media. The game pits a team of Dinosaurs versus a team of Mercenaries, allowing the players to choose to play as either side. Gameplay Primal Carnage provides online multiplayer team-based combat, with asymmetrical gameplay between the two teams. The Mercenary team plays as a traditional 1st-person shooter, while the Dinosaurs play from a 3rd-person action perspective. The game employs class-based combat with currently ten (more will come in the future) highly di...
 
@ZetaTwo Natural Selection was a pretty classic example of that iirc.
Dunno if NS2 maintains the goofy asymmetry.
 
1:01 AM
@ZetaTwo maybe an aliens vs. predator game?
TF2 also has different modes that would probably qualify
multiple attack/defend game types
 
Left 4 Dead series
 
all of these are in the right direction
 
halo: reach also has some aspects, in "invasion" mode
 
but I'd really hope there was something even more assymmetrical
 
dark souls or whatever? I think you can "haunt" other player's games
 
1:03 AM
wild example would be like something DnD style, one player setting up a level, the other beating it.
 
What's that one source mod called? The hunted, something like that
 
a couple of games also mix RTS elements with FPS, like nuclear dawn
one player is the "commander" playing the RTS, and the others are the soldiers playing the FPS
 
Dark Souls is actually a really good example
 
there's that pacman game for gamecube, where 3 players are the ghosts
 
since the various factions essentially give you different multiplayer 'modes'
@ZetaTwo Neverwinter Nights DM Mode!
 
1:05 AM
or eve online + that dust 514 game
mm, there's that starship bridge simulator, where everyone takes a "station"
spy party - spyparty.com
 
@agent86 Artemis
 
I think there was also an "adventure game" that was played by 2 people, with one person deciding the next action and the other having to make the world/story work
sleep is death.
@CruelCow indeed.
 
@agent86 A two player tabletop RPG?
 
user2334
@ZetaTwo NWN on the PC; but I'm pretty sure that type of gameplay is supposed to be the Wii U's "killer feature"
 
@YiJiang sleep is death is actually the title of the game I was thinking of
a wild baby is attacking both me and my keyboard though. ugh, she just sneezed on my arm and now she has my left thumb
 
user2334
1:12 AM
@ZetaTwo Also LittleBigPlanet
 
user2334
Or any game with a level editor really
 
@MarkTrapp Yeah, I was at a game convention today and tried the Wii U. What's when I thought: Why aren't there more games like this
 
@spugsley Hi
 
user2334
@ZetaTwo Because everybody wants to be Rambo and nobody wants to be Unnamed Nerd at a Desk supporting Rambo #34B
 
@Wipqozn oh. Hi. I was hoping that the ping would scare you and you were maybe working with fire and/or powertools and/or implements of torture and that you might accidently die.
 
user2334
1:15 AM
I'm almost convinced that in a multiplayer setting, giving someone the Wii U tablet controller is going to be like giving someone the crappy MadKatz controller: you give it to the guy you don't like but invited himself to the party

Fonzslice was pretty rad.
 
@GnomeSlice I wish I could star this more than once.
 
Evening, Bridge!
 
@Fluttershy No.
 
@Wipqozn I was gonna pay it forward tonight, but there doesn't seem to be any interested parties around.
 
1:46 AM
@Fluttershy What were you going to pay it forward with?
 
@Wipqozn Well, @James gave @Oak a game, @Oak gave me a game, so now I need to pay it forward. O_o
 
Which reminds me
Still enjoying Chiv?
 
@Wipqozn Aye. I played a 36 player match the other day on a map made for like 8 people. <_< It was a slaughterhouse.
 
@Fluttershy My word.
 
@Wipqozn It's a lot of fun. Like... Way more than I was expecting, to be honest.
 
1:48 AM
 
@GnomeSlice It's like something out of the mind of Tim butn
@Fluttershy Good to hear. I'm looking forward to picking it up come the christmas sale then.
 
@GnomeSlice Well fuck. I'm awesome.
 
@Wipqozn I look forward to playing it with some friends.
 
doesn't star it
 
1:50 AM
@GnomeSlice I was going to star it after I finished looking at the article, but not now.
 
I'm not bothered.
 
Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but I'm going to head off.
With my last breath I curse @GnomeSlice, et cetera.

@AshleyNunn I do what I can.
 
I took this today. I almost died from cuteness overload :3
 
@fbueckert Here's a challenge for you:
Beat that.
 
2:05 AM
Silly medic, you can't daisychain bullets.
 
Wachew.
Ute and that asian chick killed so many beastmen.
In my Afterlight game.
 
@RavenDreamer Gene? I can't STAND her.
But my last two screenshots pretty much show the state of my team.
 
I didn't say I could stand her, I said she killed a lot of beastmen.
:P
 
@RavenDreamer I haven't let her near a squad since the tutorial.
I should get her killed, actually.
WTF IS THIS LITTLE ROCK THING
 
aN ARTIFACT?
Oh, Rollers?
I hate those
If they get up in your face
 
2:12 AM
@RavenDreamer It's attacking me, so I doubt it.
@RavenDreamer That one.
 
they kill you fast
Don't let them get up in your face
 
The hell, he just instantly killed my whatserface, she's my favourite

Not Ute... er...

PAULINE
She's a ninja
 
Sexy Nerd vibes.
 
@RavenDreamer Yeeeeeeah
 
I think Diego was my favorite.
Actually, one of the Native Martians was.
 
@RavenDreamer YOU!
 
But they're useless in actual combat
@spugsley tackleglomps
Oh, hi.
 
2:15 AM
@RavenDreamer I killed off Harald immediately. His daughter is really cute.
lolololololololol
Ugly ass name though. 'Olga'.
Diego is so funny.
'What to do now?'
'kick ass.'

@spugsley You should vote!

@MarkTrapp Excellent.
 
@EBongo This is incredible.
 
2:49 AM
So, who wants a free $25 game?
 
@Fluttershy You!
 
@Fluttershy wat
 
@OrigamiRobot I already got mine! That's why I'm paying it forward now.
 
Heh, what game is it?
 
@YiJiang Any game up to $25 off of Steam.
 
2:51 AM
Ooo, nice
 
@Fluttershy I can buy chivalry with that
 
@OrigamiRobot You'd have to pay it forward!
 
@Fluttershy By?
 
@OrigamiRobot Buying someone else a $25 game at some point in the future? I don't know. Ask @James. He started it.
 
Holy cow she uses a lot of ammo.
 
2:53 AM
Why don't I just buy myself a $25 game and be done with it?
 
@Fluttershy o.O
 
@James Well you did! When you gifted @Oak something. =P
@OrigamiRobot Then buy yourself Chivalry.

Q: How do I get to 100% in Gran Turismo 2?

KenI have trophies showing for all of the main races, all of the maker races, and I've got the red-circle in all of the "arcade mode" races, but I'm still at only 96.86%. What do I need to do for the last 3.14%?

 
@Fluttershy haha, well he was in need of Arkham City so I got that for him.. Once he saw all the games I owned though he accepted the fact that I did not need a game bought in return for me, hehe. So he just snagged one for someone else.. I claim no responsibility for this.. I am known to buy games for people from time to time and do not expect nor really need anything in return.
I like improving the quality of life around me, plain and simple.
 
@James I'm the same in that regard.
 
3:03 AM
Annnnnnd skyrim crashed.. Time to order pizza and lay down until it gets here
having the flu blows :(
 
@James Flu Shots are Good Things.
 
3:37 AM
Shit, there's like five rollers.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I've had so many of those, I think I'm immune to the flu.
 
@Fluttershy They only last a year.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I was being sarcastic. =P Do the shots last longer than the nasal spray immunizations? Or is it the same?
Also, welcome back to civilization
 
@Fluttershy Same I think. The main issue is that the flu strains tend to mutate frequently enough that each year the old vaccine isn't effective against the new flu.
> An influenza epidemic emerges during flu season each winter. There are two flu seasons annually, corresponding to the occurrence of winter in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (winter in one hemisphere is at the same time as summer in the other).
THANK YOU WIKIPEDIA
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Makes sense. Honestly though, it's been at least 10 years since I've been sick.

The NPZ is devolving into a mad max style post apocalyptic wasteland.
The thunderdome is inevitable.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz NPZ?
 
4:42 AM
@Fluttershy No Power Zone, I assume
I also saw SoPo (South of Power), heh.
 
@Fluttershy What @TimStone said. NPZ is more accurate because most of the NPZ is to the East or West of Manhattan.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Maybe Curt Schilling should start ferrying gas containers into the area to help pay for his lawsuit defense.
 
@TimStone He'd be eaten alive by the staten islanders.
They've gone feral y'know.

wingmanIn almost every retro arcade you had 3 chances, 3 lives or 3 retry. What's logic behind this particular number ?

Would 7 have been better for some reason? Or 2? Or 31? This is a pointless question. Why are there three strikes in a Baseball at bat? Or 3 outs to an Inning? Why do Christians believe in a holy Trinity? Why were there three musketeers, or three witches in Macbeth? Why are there three bones in your elbow? Why have there only been 3 NBC Nightly News Anchors in history? Why are there three Lord of the Rings volumes? Why are there three Mass Effect games? Why are there three pieces of the Triforce? Why isn't Half Life 3 out yet? Why do I only have 3 characters left in this comment field? Well? — LessPop_MoreFizz 15 secs ago

@OrigamiRobot To be fair, the other one is about to be closed for not actually having the problem himself.
@Lazers We don't need you right now.
 
@Ullallulloo That is one person's reason for closing it.
 
How is it a duplicate?
 
@OrigamiRobot Well, it has four different close reasons with no comments why really, so I assume that's why based off of this.
Also, they're not duplicates so much. "Does this work? Probably." and "Help, it doesn't work."

Not sure how he's having a problem though, works fine on my win 8 pc
 
It's not a duplicate.
 
I never agreed with the "He isnt having this problem yet" argument so in my eyes "Will this work?" and "Help me make this work" are the exact same thing.
 
On one case the user is having an issue, and in the other there is no issue. He's just asking a yes or not question.
Furthermore, the only thing Close to being a duplicate is "Are there any known issues?", but expecting that to cover every possible issue you could have with steam and windows 8 is ridiculous. It's way too broad.
 
I stand by my vote.
 
Having one catch all thread only work on a forum.
Which is why tech issues are better suited to a forum format, and not a Q&A format.

Which is why they should both be closed.
 
Except Tech issues are on-topic, so we can't.
I agree tech issues don't belong on the site, but that's a whole new discussion.
We can't close questions because of what we wish was site policy. We just need to accept everyone else is wrong and move on.
And then bitch about it in meta.
 
@Wipqozn We can't close it as off-topic, no.
I can VTC as NARQ, NC, and TL all I want.
Because they are all some combination of those three.
 
@Wipqozn I disagree with that, works for common issues quite well on Serverfault, super user. They're just a lot different from in-game problems
 
Their are two issues I have with tech. support questions which are why I don't believe they work on a Q&A.

First, they usually boil down to "try this. Did it work? No? Try this instead. Did that work? No? Now try this.." which work much better in a discussion format (And is what it is), and really don't work well in a Q&A format which is not intended for discussions.

Second is the issue of duplicates. If I have a problem similiar to another question, but none of the answers solve my problem, what do I do? It's easy to say make a bounty, place a comment, et cetera but those are things new
The latter we can attempt to resolve by being more loose with duplicates and tech questions,but then we run into the issue of having a fuckton of nearly identical questions flowing around.

Q: Can multiple players share one PS Vita?

DouglasJoseIs it possible for two or more gamers to use a same PS Vita? Can two or more PSN accounts be used in one PS Vita? Or even using only on PSN account, is it possible to have multiple save games (none of the games that I have give you the option to manage save games)? Could I switch PSN accounts/s...

Q: Is there any way to get out of a dungeon once cleared?

SashleyIt is very annoying having to walk all the way back out of the cave once I have done the mission, especially if there is lots of traps.

 
In other news, I made vegetable soup. It's quite delicious.
 
put a donk some pasta on it
bring it to the next level
ditalini (rigati, if you have to ask) would be perfect
or rather, would have been
