8:00 PM
@pixel Realize?
 
@OrigamiRobot Realise.
 
@pixel Real Ice?
 
@OrigamiRobot Learn English, then we shall talk.
 
@pixel It's definitely a z sound.
 
8:01 PM
Alright, all... I have $25 to spend on steam sales until Wednesday... I need suggestions!
 
@OrigamiRobot It doesn't matter if it is a 'z' sound or not.
@Fluttershy cake
 
@pixel z is for z sounds.
 
@OrigamiRobot wrong.
 
insert obligatory Canadian zed sounds here
 
@Wipqozn It seems like some of the users who were all "hey, lets' be dicks because science means being a dick to people you don't like" more or less left the site. I can't complain
 
8:03 PM
@pixel Why are you so afraid of z?
 
@OrigamiRobot if we're going off 'sounds', explain 'colonel', 'champagne', and 'island' to me
 
@pixel I don't condone those words.
 
or wednesday, knight, psychoanalysis, phlegm
...
 
@BenBrocka When everyone knows science is making children cry
 
Those either.
 
8:04 PM
such a long list of ORIGAMIROBOT BEING WRONG
 
It's not so much Origami being wrong as much as ENGLISH BEING WRONG
 
@BenBrocka That's the same rationalization people who gank in MMOs use. "Well, I'm a bad guy! This is what I'm supposed to do!"
 
That's not a long list. You're just being lasy.
 
@OrigamiRobot ...
 
@OrigamiRobot har har i c what u did thur
 
8:05 PM
@pixel Ow. Ow. Brain hurt.
Stop it!
 
ASKED AGAIN
I've been asking so much shit lately.
 
@fbueckert sry 4 victimising u
 
@pixel ignores
 
@pixel You've dizcovered one of @fbueckert'z many weaknezzez.
 
@fbueckert TERRORISTS WIN
@OrigamiRobot he's a man, his list of weaknesses is so long that your male brain cannot begin to comprehend it
 
8:07 PM
I am a robot.
 
No suggestions other than cake? =( I need distractions people!
 
Bullshit. Ron was never rude, just insistent on truth, and he tolerated idiots far better than necessary. — UnbanRonMaimon 11 mins ago
Lawl
Hell of a way to prove your point
 
@Fluttershy hm? Distractions for what?
 
"I'm not rude, you festering pile of dog vomit"
 
@Fluttershy cake is a very solid distraction, and if you get enough cake it will take you longer to eat than your average game
 
8:08 PM
@BenBrocka wrong room
(?)
 
@GnomeSlice ANSWERED
 
@badp no the physics rudeness issue was being discussed before
 
oh. okay.
So Ron's back from suspensionville?
 
@pixel Well, that was meab
 
@badp no
 
8:09 PM
I am okay with that.
 
@OrigamiRobot Xylophone, mnemonic, lasagna, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
 
@SaintWacko Woo, just realized that skill was on as I was posting it.
 
@pixel Floccinaucinihilipilification!
 
@Fluttershy Dishonored (cc: @OrigamiRobot)
 
@badp Not until January 4th.
I suspect another one will happen in short order.
 
8:11 PM
@BenBrocka maybe this ron guy just really really wants hats
 
I am cold. We have a fire going, but I'm cold.
 
@badp Distractions so I can be not-sad by Christmas.
 
@Wipqozn I got that but haven't played for long
 
I hope I didn't turn into a wright.
 
@Fluttershy the world is going to end tonight anyway, don't worry
 
8:11 PM
The fact that at almost every SE site he goes to, he has his own agenda. When his answers get deleted due to not actually ANSWERING the question, he posts a meta question that includes the entire answer, and declares it was deleted for political reasons.
 
Also, @pixel, I do not like cake.
 
@Fluttershy WHAT?!
 
@Fluttershy HIB7, Steam Winter Sale
 
mind... blown
@badp I believe that's the reason he's asking
Just sayin'
 
@badp I know. I own every game in HIB7, and was looking for suggestions for steam sale... >_>
 
8:12 PM
told you
 
My word Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the Witch is out in a month.
 
@Fluttershy I dunno, it sounds like you need a 60+ hours game but I kinda don't get the impression Borderlands 2 is your piece of cake
 
Need something (or a lot of somethings) new to adequately distract myself... But I only have $25.
 
You also probably have played Skyrim
 
@Fluttershy Doom BFG edition
3 games in one
You get DOOM 1
you get DOOM 2
 
8:14 PM
@Fluttershy Dishonored (cc: @OrigamiRobot)
 
and you get DOOM 3 + both expansions
and since you have 25$ you can probably get Quake 4 as well
 
@Wipqozn I'm not getting Dishonored on my computer. And you're not going to make me any sadder than I already am.
 
that is at least 60+ hours
 
@Fluttershy Damn.
 
@Fluttershy Web comics maybe? If you haven't read any Homestuck and are okay with the brain damage that read will inflict on you, that'll take you easily a week of uninterrupted reading to read back to back.
(with one of the backs not actually being a back but a continuously moving wall of updates)
 
8:15 PM
@badp plus the brain damage will probably inhibit any feelings of sadness
 
@Fluttershy Have you played 'Tiny and Big'?
@Fluttershy Also, read A Modest Destiny
@Fluttershy And buy the Humble Bundle and play Dungeon Defenders
 
@Fluttershy I also recommend Homestuck
 
I think this is the first JRPG I've been excited for in a while.
 
@GnomeSlice he already owns it, if you look at the star list he was the one that advertised it being up
 
8:16 PM
@Fluttershy Dishonored (cc: @Wipqozn)
 
@Fluttershy English Country Tune is on sale. Check it out if you like Puzzles.
@pixel Doesn't mean he owns every game in the bundle.
 
4 mins ago, by Fluttershy
@badp I know. I own every game in HIB7, and was looking for suggestions for steam sale... >_>
yes it does
 
@pixel The fact that he first mentioned the bundle does not.
Didn't see that message.
 
my mind is still recovering from being blown by somebody not liking cake
 
@Fluttershy Play KSP.
 
8:18 PM
please don't do your usual mindfuck on me
KSP is certainly hours of... explosions
 
Wait, what heathen doesn't like cake?
 
7 mins ago, by Fluttershy
Also, @pixel, I do not like cake.
 
@Fluttershy do I have you on steam?
 
AH IT'S ON SALE
 
@pixel I always knew he was evil, but not this evil.
 
8:19 PM
@pixel SHUN!
 
You people have no excuse to not buy Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers now.
It's on Steam, and on sale and everything now.
One of my top games of the year, easily.
 
Let's ban @Fluttershy for not liking cake and not owning Dishonored.
cc: @Wipqozn
 
@OrigamiRobot It's expensive dude, it's like $60
 
@GnomeSlice Seriously, I'm waiting til it goes more on sale
 
@BenBrocka I'm NihilistRonin on Steam.
 
8:21 PM
@GnomeSlice It was $25 during the autumn sale.
 
And thanks for all of the suggestions everyone except @Wipqozn and @OrigamiRobot.
 
Don't zazz me!
 
You're welcome
 
@OrigamiRobot what is so special about Dishonored?
 
@OrigamiRobot I second this decision. I suggest we bribe @badp with cake to get him to do it.
@pixel @Fluttershy doesn't own it. (cc: @OrigamiRobot)
 
8:23 PM
@Wipqozn I... don't get it
 
@Fluttershy You'er welcome!
 
Nov 25 at 18:35, by Wipqozn
@OrigamiRobot We'll need to make a point to talk about the game in chat on a regular basis.
 
oic
3 more days at my current rate and I will get another hat
this one is actually a hard one
 
@pixel What do you get for completing Toypocalypse?
 
@OrigamiRobot I duno, I haven't logged in today
I got bored of waiting for you to be online so will play it this weekend
I made my second mini pet though
 
8:27 PM
Someone star that shit about Tiny and Big. It's amazing
 
@GnomeSlice What shit?
@pixel Why not tonight?
 
8 mins ago, by GnomeSlice
You people have no excuse to not buy Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers now.
 
this needs to be voted as duplicate, not off topic
it may well be off topic, but closing it as off topic means we need to close more questions as off topic
 
@GnomeSlice IT costs $5. That's a lot of money. /excuse
 
8:28 PM
Seriously, it might even be my favourite game of the year.
 
@OrigamiRobot cba tonight, going to get an early night

Q: What's This Blue Dome Projected Over My Back?

GnomeSliceI've just noticed that my Engineer suddenly has this blue dome thing coming out of his pack and hanging in the air over his back. What is this? Is it put there by the 'Aegis' skill, the effects of which is currently active (apparently)?

Q: Is it possible to send a gift to someone without adding them as a friend and without their email address?

George DuckettI want to send someone a gift as I may or may not be involved in a secret santa on steam. Ideally I don't want them to know I sent it at all (the secret part) but I guess steam will tell them who sent it. Failing that, I'd like them to not know it was me until the gift notification turns up in s...

 
oh god
 
@pixel How lame.
 
8:29 PM
Blizzard really want me to play WoW again
I'm literally getting two emails a week off them
adds to spam sender list
 
Is there a decent epub/mobi reader for Android?
...or does the Play Books app thing work too?
 
@Fluttershy Oh, right, I have you then
 
@OrigamiRobot You should check it out.
 
@GnomeSlice What?
 
@OrigamiRobot T... Tiny and Big...
 
8:32 PM
What's that? A TV show?
 
@OrigamiRobot an oxymoron
 
@Fluttershy you playing BL2 this weekend?
 
@BenBrocka Potentially. I don't have any plans.
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes.
It's @GnomeSlices favourite show.
 
What is it about?
 
8:35 PM
@OrigamiRobot Cats and dogs or something.
 
@Wipqozn I like cats and dogs! @GnomeSlice has good taste in shows.
 
17 mins ago, by GnomeSlice
You people have no excuse to not buy Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers now.
 
also .mobi or .ebook? Choices choices.
 
Soundtrack edition!?
fhvbklsdgvbaeigbsehui should I buy it... I already have it.
But I think the soundtrack costs more than that by itself
 
@GnomeSlice Oh is that the first season?
 
8:38 PM
@OrigamiRobot No you idiot.
It's a game.
 
@Fluttershy I'm game if you are, pretty sure one of my alts is your level
 
@GnomeSlice THIS ISN'T A GAME! THIS IS THE INTERNET! THE INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS! PEOPLE DIE ON THE INTERNET ALL THE TIME!
 
@GnomeSlice But @Wipqozn said it was a TV show. This is too confusing.
 
@OrigamiRobot Just ignore him, he's messing with you.
Because he's an assclown.
 
WTF why would @Wipqozn do that?
 
8:40 PM
I asked so many questions today.

Q: How do I get Into the Bone Gallery?

GnomeSliceThis quest says something about convincing the spirits to open the gate for me, but there are no spirits to be seen anywhere nearby. How do I get in to the Bone Gallery?

I've since opened the gate, but I have no idea what I did.
@Fluttershy oh you own Tiny and Big already!
Have you played it?
 
@GnomeSlice How dare you call me a liar!
I'LL BITE YOU IN THE FACE WITH MY TORTOISE SNAP ATTACK!
 
@Wipqozn How about I just call you incorrect then.
 
@GnomeSlice We've discussed this before. Tiny and Big keeps crashing on me. But I've played the first two levels.
 
@Fluttershy =[
@Wipqozn I have no idea why you just pinged me with this.
 
8:45 PM

I'LL BITE YOU IN THE FACE WITH MY TORTOISE SNAP ATTACK!
Duh
 
The hell is in the other turtle's mouth?
 
@Wipqozn tense moments at the @Wipqozn household
 
@GnomeSlice Grass
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh, yeah I see it now. It looks almost like a little black box.
 
is asking if a game is similar to another game a correct topic for arqade?
 
8:47 PM
@BenBrocka Shit gets pretty intense with us Tortoise.
Tortoises? Torti?
 
How have some people gotten the hat for posting tomorrow?
 
@Paralytic Ermm... probably not.
@murgatroid99 Lots of people.

A: Off by twelve error? — "And I Feel Fine" hat

AarthiSo, the official answer is: we over-awarded the hat so that people in Auckland / Tokyo / Shanghai / Vanuatu wouldn't have to wait until their midday to receive it. You're all mostly programmers, so you should be reasonably familiar with how much of a headache timezones can be sometimes. Since St...

 
@BenBrocka That explains it. It's weird because they do everything else by UTC days
 
i dont get hats anymore for some reason
 
8:49 PM
Which is what they probably should have done. This is more lenient but caused far more freakouts
 
@Paralytic what happened that makes you say that?
 
nothing, just realized today all my hat stuff is gone
 
noscript? not loading resources?
 
@Paralytic you have 7 hats on arqade
 
hmmm, my browser must be acting up then
 
Jin
8:52 PM
@Paralytic are you on a different computer?
 
@Jin why would that matter?
 
Jin
@murgatroid99 well, if you're at a work computer, maybe it has noscript or blocked our cnd etc
 
@Jin im pretty sure i was able to see the hate stuff yesterday on this computer
hat
haha hate
Just weird that all the links are gone as well
 
Jin
@Paralytic go to winterba.sh log out and log back in
 
@Jin o my work computer is denieing access to that for some reason wth
 
8:54 PM
@Jin oh, yeah, I guess that could do it
@Paralytic That's probably the problem
 
hats are bad
apparantly
 
Jin
@Paralytic yeah someone else reported the same problem... not sure what we can do about it..
 
its not a big deal really
 
Jin
@Paralytic BUT HATS ARE BIG DEAL! ESPECIALLY INTERNET HATS
 
@Jin i go home in 4 minutes anyway so ill survive a tad longer
lol
 
8:57 PM
@Wipqozn Turtles.
 
@Paralytic I hate Hat Dash

9:05 PM
@GnomeSlice ಠ_ಠ
 
@BenBrocka FALSE ADVERTISING
 
I mean, she clearly has them, but they're not as pronounced.
She could be a man from far away
 
@GnomeSlice I don't think that's how genetics works.
 
@GnomeSlice Please don't ask this on the main site.
 
9:08 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I finally got around to listening to the entirety of Godspeed's latest album. We Drift Like Worried Fire is amazing.
 
@Wipqozn 'Why did they do it that way' is off topic man.
 
@Mana You're amazing.

@Wipqozn mm...if you watched Breaking Bad you'd realize this isn't actually when the series would end.
Walt gets offered to have his treatment taken care of entirely by one of his former colleagues very early on in the series.
Yo @Decency. How's it going?
 
@Mana I heard that actually, but I didn't care because Canada has free healthcare so fuck yeah, Canada.
 
9:25 PM
@Wipqozn Breaking Bad is an awesome show
I'm pretty sure it's @LessPop_MoreFizz's fault I watched it
 
@Mana Howdy. Tired, but otherwise pretty good.
 
@Retrosaur bah! Yesterday I played for 20 minutes and found a legendary.
I was playing Borderlands 1 but that's not relevant.
 
@Wipqozn Silly humans.
 
Important news for GW2 peeps: TIXX is being sued

Q: Should I add a new answer if a previous one is partially correct?

BenInspired by a question like this. If a different user has posted an answer that is at least half correct (or so), should I edit that answer to more thoroughly answer the question, or should I answer again with the combined knowledge to sell myself out to rep? Or should I comment on the answer w...

Q: Where are all of the secrets in the Hangar - E1M1?

pixelI have played through the Hangar level of the first episode of DOOM now several times, but have not yet been able to complete the level with 100% in Kills, Items and Secrets. I am getting outside to pick up the blue power armour, and running back through to ensure that I'm not missing any items a...

Q: Sims 3 and the expansion packs?

NicciI already own Sims 3 and Sims 3 Generations after buying them from Best Buy and Walmart. If I want to buy other expansions through the Steam sales, do I have to rebuy these two in order to play them? Or will they work with the Sims 3 games that I already own?

Q: How can I get the chainsaw in Nuclear Plant - E1M2?

pixelI've also played this level through multiple times today, I've found a variety of secrets each time that I didn't the first time through, like the secret door to the right of the level entrance and the chain gun outside, but this one is eluding me; Somewhere there is an entrance to this room, ...

 
9:35 PM
How is this not closed as exact dupe of this?
 
@pixel Only took 20 years? </joke>
 
@sjohnston I'm 19.
 
@Lazers What happened to asking one question about all the secrets?
 
didn't play it when it first cam eout
@OrigamiRobot I figured I'd play each level three times to see if I could find them by myself
I managed the first two before I got bored
 
Sigh, I'm downloading all the songs from my HIBs
Each album has its file name convention and they are all different and none matches mine
 
9:36 PM
@pixel That doesn't explain anything about the question(s).
 
@MBraedley should be IMO
@OrigamiRobot does too, I suspect you will deal with it once I repeat myself until you're bored
 
@Ullallulloo THis is trying so hard to be 'cool' it's painful.
 
@pixel I guess it didn't get enough votes initially. I've already voted and so can't vote again
 
@pixel Happy?
 
@badp I just cram everything into my collection as-is, and every couple of years I get totally fed up and spend a day fixing them all.
 
9:37 PM
@OrigamiRobot victory
@MBraedley I did too

How is this not closed as exact dupe of this?
 
@Wipqozn They know that, it makes fun of itself.
 
9:38 PM
@OrigamiRobot I'm not listening, you're not my real dad.
 
(Bonus points for the dash instead of the underscore)
 
I already know the answer: Hats
This is why I hate Hat Dash.
 
@OrigamiRobot I would still do it even if there were no hats
multiple questions asking different but loosely related things makes more sense to me
my next question is going to be 'why are the people of arqade (IM LOOKING AT YOU @OrigamiRobot) so grumpy?'
 
yesterday, by OrigamiRobot
I hate @pixel.
 
@pixel No.
 
9:40 PM
@badp ok
 
@pixel Why ask the exact same question about level 1, then level 2, then level 3, then level 4, etc?
That's dumb.
 
@OrigamiRobot I haven't
 
You've set it up to be that way.
 
@OrigamiRobot Solution: Ask generic question, close her narrow ones as dup of it. Laugh at her misery.
 
@Wipqozn I am tempted to.
 
9:44 PM
Being a douche won't change a thing
 
No, but doing what @Wipqozn said will.
 
@pixel When you're constantly dealing with something as serious as video games, it's hard to not get grumpy.
 
@sjohnston I know right
 
Also, a lot of us are cantankerous old unicorns.
 
@OrigamiRobot yes, doing what @Wipqozn said out of spite will make me like you a lot less

@OrigamiRobot you're lucky I remember who you are from day to day
@sjohnston IT'S MY LAWN! YOU GET OFF IT.
 
@OrigamiRobot oh and suddenly the true purpose of all of this comes to light
you are just a bitter old man
 
They aren't mutually exclusive.
 
9:47 PM
@OrigamiRobot The internet is a communal lawn/series of tubes.
 
@sjohnston That's hippie talk!
 
Besides, robots don't get property rights. This is America.
 
GET A HAIRCUT!
 
No rights for anyone! Down with rights!
 
Down with men!
 
9:48 PM
(Except for corporations. They are people. Unlike robots. And thus, deserve rights.)
@pixel Hey! I'm one of those!
 
Jin
do you want to spend your last day on earth bickering?
 
@Jin Yes, absolutely.
 
@Jin I spend every day on Earth bickering
 
@Jin Isn't it obvious we do?
 
besides, I'm laughing in real life
at how sad @OrigamiRobot gets when I reorganise his toys
 
Jin
9:50 PM
alrighty then, carry on.
 
Just give him some bacon, he'll calm down.
 
I would but I don't feel he's earned the right to eat bacon

To complain about things. Isn't that why we're all here?
 
Zero Punctuation says Far Cry 3 is a good game
 
@pixel Credibility meter reduced to zero.
 
9:51 PM
I dont think I've ever heard those words together
 
I watched a few episodes of an LP, and it appeared to be among the worst craps that Ubisoft has ever crapped out. And that's no small feat.
 
@pixel You haven't seen his portal review then
 
@BenBrocka I don't need to be told that portal is good
I played it
It took 2 hours
It's nice, original, unique, interesting, and way too short
 
Goddamn, where's the V-necks
all I can get in this game is chunky ass renaissance stuff
 
@GnomeSlice Wait, armor actually covers people in that game? But how will they defend themselves without all their skin showing?
 
9:55 PM
@Ullallulloo I know!
Also, I dunno if you were here earlier, but this is relevant
And pretty accurate I guess.
And really funny.
 
@GnomeSlice This seems like the kind of thing you would watch.
 
@Wipqozn Mondo media is the best.
They do great stuff.
