@AshleyNunn are the the ppl that do the pretzel grahams?

user15026

@Krazer It's an ice cream. Sweet and salty caramel crunch. And it is my new addiction.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Mmm, Caramel and pretzels are delicious

user15026

@SaintWacko Oh man. The chocolate coated caramel pretzel that Starbucks makes is YUMMY

Krazer

@AshleyNunn I thought you were talking about these wonderful folks saltedcaramel.net/index.php?route=product/category&path=59

user15026

@Krazer whoa whoa whoa whoa WHAT IS THIS GLORIOUSNESS

Ben Brocka

7:04 PM

@James ...why are you even bothering to get a new case (especially a new identical case)?

Krazer

@AshleyNunn two girls from Chicago do this apparently

user15026

@Krazer it is AWESOME

Krazer

@AshleyNunn makes a great holiday gift

user15026

@Krazer For myself, I think.

Q: Is there a reliable way to find which Diving Goggles I've missed?

So I'm working on the Dive Master achievement and my Hero panel lists me at 33/37. I've been following this guide, and am pretty certain I've completed them all, except for the bugged one in Metrica Province. How can I find out which Dive points I've missed? Or do I just have to go through them ...

Q: How do I get the +5HP in the Yoshi Sphinx?

I've completed the Yoshi Sphinx level multiple times, and I've even used the Door sticker to open the treasure room. But I still haven't found a path leading to the +5HP heart. How can I get it?

@krazer These look AWESOME

fbueckert

@Lazers @AshleyNunn Hey, a question you can probably answer!

Krazer

@AshleyNunn I had the pretzel grahams, I wanna try the carousel cookies~

user15026

@Krazer kinda want one of everything

FAE

@AshleyNunn do you own Theatrhythm?

user15026

@FAE I do. :)

FAE

7:09 PM

@AshleyNunn Is it good?

I am thinking of buying myself a 3DS for Christmas while I am here in the states.

user15026

@FAE I find it a touch repetitive, but I like the music enough to keep playing.

FAE

So I'm trying to figure out what games I'd like to get.

James

@BenBrocka My case is a first version of the HAF which had 1-2 manufacturing defects. I am also interested in putting together a spare system out of the left over parts so the extra nice n quiet case is going to be appreciated :)

Krazer

@AshleyNunn saltedcaramel.net/index.php?route=product/…

FAE

I'm thinking Theatrhythm, Kingdom Hearts 3D, and Adventure Time.

Ben Brocka

7:10 PM

@AshleyNunn do you have glasses IRL? I found the 3DS' 3D hard to focus on (just menus so far, my game hasn't arrived) but I'm not sure if it was because I was wearing my glasses not contacts

user15026

@FAE I highly recommend AT. Such a good game.

user15026

@BenBrocka I do, yes.

FAE

Are there any others you'd recommend?

Ben Brocka

@James ah, didn't know they had a different iteration

Aside from the mid-tower variety

GnomeSlice

...There's an adventure time game?

James

7:11 PM

@BenBrocka When your case shorts out and burns up the USB controllers, ya fix it :)

FAE

@GnomeSlice Aye, just came out.

Ben Brocka

@James Huh, ouch

user15026

@FAE I love Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure, and also Pushmo/Crashmo if you dont mind using the eshop.

Ben Brocka

Did you replace all the 200mm fans with megaflows? I installed one over the missing fan slot and I have one I was too lazy to install. Not sure which fan it'd be best to replace

The megaflows seem better than the stocks for sure

(kinda odd, since they're CM fans and it's supposed to be a high-end case...)

user15026

@BenBrocka I find it hard to focus on sometimes - some games are better than others - I find first party stuff easier than non. Although I do turn off the 3d a lot because my depth perception issues play havoc

FAE

7:13 PM

@AshleyNunn Oh, Rhythm Thief, that's the other music/rhythm I was thinking of!

user15026

@FAE Such a good game.

Krazer

@FAE The Cave Story 3DS eshop game is worth it if you don't have the CS+ steam ver

FAE

@Krazer I've got the Steam version, thanks though. :)

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn I would end up seeing 2 images a lot, and when it was "right" I didn't get much feelnig of depth...but like I said I was just testing it in the menus, not games yet

FAE

Now I have to decide on which games... I can't afford to get 4 really...

James

7:13 PM

amazon.com/gp/product/B002FRLEIS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02

user15026

@BenBrocka The depth isnt very good in menus. Gets better in games.

James

@BenBrocka Snagged 2 of those... but they are the exact same fans that come in the case, ... except I am getting blue ones this time :)

Ben Brocka

@James Are you sure? The megaflow seems to run slightly cooler and slightly quiter than the stock fan it's right next to (in the top)

GnomeSlice

I am so tired.

Three nights in a row with no sleep.

Ben Brocka

cooler might be because it's farther from the CPU, but it certainly seems quieter (neither is on fan control)

Krazer

7:15 PM

@GnomeSlice Y U NO SLEEP?

GnomeSlice

@Krazer Who knows.

James

@BenBrocka From one of the comments on that page: I compared the model number of this fan to the fan that comes with the case. They are identical: A20030-07CB-3MF-C1. So it is the correct fan.

user15026

@FAE Fair warning - the AT game is like Zelda II in style, and composed of pretty much entirely fetch quests with some simple dungeons. It's cute, funny, and sticks to the feel of the show, but it's not the best in terms of modern storyline and gameplay, if that makes sense? I do recommend playing it at some point, though.

Krazer

@GnomeSlice U KNOW

GnomeSlice

My Tourette's was pretty bad last night, might have been that.

Otherwise... I'm just an insomniac.

Wipqozn

7:16 PM

Ben Brocka

@James Huh. That makes sense, though I swear I heard a diff. I actually wanted the red LEDs anyway though

Krazer

@GnomeSlice I take it you've been starting at computer screens all night?'

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice Melatonin really helped me with sleep issues. Over the counter and crazy cheap

GnomeSlice

@Krazer No.

@BenBrocka I take that every night.

FAE

@AshleyNunn Gotcha. As long as the tone and humor "feel" like AT, I'm not so much worried about the gameplay being a bit lackluster. :)

Ben Brocka

7:17 PM

Reading (not using any electronic device) in bed helps too

James

@BenBrocka I am just glad I waited so long on this.. The RAM dropped from 480 to 430 and the GPUs dropped from 659 to 559

GnomeSlice

Helps sometimes, sometimes it feels like it does nothing.

user15026

@FAE Yeah, it does feel like AT, which is important.

James

@BenBrocka If you do find something then let me know :) But the red one I bought did look exactly the same as the other.. If there was a difference I think its that they wired the one in the case to use the LED switch...

FAE

@AshleyNunn Awesome!

Ben Brocka

7:18 PM

@James Might have been better during the black friday sale; I was annoyed to see some of my parts in there like the HAF-X. Only $20 cheaper though

@James How many GPUs did you get? What sort of wattage does your machine need?

James

@BenBrocka Could be.. but having the rig drop around $400 over the last 2 days was pretty kewl :)

GnomeSlice

uxmas.com

2

Heh, neat.

James

@BenBrocka 3. The wattage should be around 800 max

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice Huh. Most be worse than mine. My problem was just irregular schedules though, I could sleep, just not on schedule

James

Each of the cards is 184W leaving 200+ change for the rest of the system, hehe

GnomeSlice

7:19 PM

@BenBrocka I can't sleep at all, and when I do, it's completely erratic.

Ben Brocka

@James At load?

GnomeSlice

I don't reach stage 4 sleep either, which means I don't dream.

Or feel rested in the morning.

Ben Brocka

IIRC 2 high end raedon/nvidias ran closer to 500

James

@BenBrocka I have never actually seen any honest gaming push things that far, maybe stress tests but not really with games.

@BenBrocka My current system has 3 GPUs in it and is sitting at maybe 30% of my PSU

GnomeSlice

> Back in the good old days (around 1995) people could remember a few things for a few seconds. Now they can’t, and we’d better not expect them to.

Heh

Ben Brocka

7:21 PM

@James Yeah, these were artifical benchmarks. Not sure how high usage goes realistically

user15026

@fbueckert this ep of Chuck is breaking my heart!

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Which one is that?

Ronan Forman

@fbueckert T_T

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn Ah, Chuck. How I got bored of that after a few episodes.

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn How dare you!

Ben Brocka

7:22 PM

@GnomeSlice that is a neat site

fbueckert

@RonanForman Which episode, I mean.

user15026

@fbueckert Chuck Versus the Truth (S1E08)

James

@BenBrocka In either case, 1500W PSU so I am covered, but I am expecting a bit over 50% of it to be used on a normal day to day basis

fbueckert

@Wipqozn You have no soul.

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka I posted it in the UX.SE chat too.

Ronan Forman

7:22 PM

@fbueckert I was annoyed at the ninja'ing

fbueckert

@RonanForman I do that a lot.

Keep up!

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Well, I am a tortoise.

user15026

@Krazer If i had the money, I would get the Big Top sampler

Wipqozn

@RonanForman So, uh, this might not be the best time to ask... but could you edit my picture to include a Santa Hat :D?

GnomeSlice

Whoa, have you guys heard of the 100,000 Stars Chrome Experiment?

Ronan Forman

7:24 PM

@Wipqozn You're current one? Do you have a large one?

GnomeSlice

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Oh, is that the salami girl episode?

GnomeSlice

This is AWESOME

Ben Brocka

@James I was looking at the Rosewill Lightning series PSUs when they were on sale earlier, but I don't really need more power and I can't quite justify the price just to go modular. If the 800W one goes to $100 or so I'm getting it though...

user15026

@fbueckert yep. That's the one.

Krazer

7:24 PM

grammy.com/… Oh. Journey got a Grammy nomination~

Wipqozn

@RonanForman en.gravatar.com/userimage/23492898/…

James

@BenBrocka I can not express how much in love I am with the modular PSUs

Wipqozn

That's the largest one I have

GnomeSlice

Holy crap, it's an accurate 3D representation of the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

James

This will be my third one but my first individually sleeved wired PSU.

fbueckert

7:25 PM

@AshleyNunn Chuck is awesome because it has so many ups and downs.

And through it all, he perseveres.

user15026

@fbueckert It is sucking me in SO hard

user15026

and I can't even.

Wipqozn

Oh, wait. @RonanForman: I can make it as large as I want apparently en.gravatar.com/userimage/23492898/…

user15026

So many feels.

fbueckert

Wait until he gets the Intersect 2.0. /spoiler

Ronan Forman

7:26 PM

@Wipqozn Very funny.

user15026

@fbueckert neeeeergh.

Wipqozn

@RonanForman uh, sure.

GnomeSlice

@Krazer It was nominated for best score in the annual game music awards as well!

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn You did realise that was just scaling it up right?

Ben Brocka

@James They seem pretty sweet, though the HAF X's PSU cover thing tidies up pretty well for the non-modular PSUs. Until you need to run up a new wire of course

fbueckert

7:27 PM

@AshleyNunn You're going to go ballistic on me when you get there.

user15026

@fbueckert Likely.

user15026

Also, I left you a wall of text to read abnout the obsidian books ending

James

@BenBrocka That it does, that it does.. and if you do put in enough components you end up filling the PSU anyways... but it is nice not having to deal with what you are not even using.

Ben Brocka

Did you instal the GPU fan vent thingy? I can't seem to get it to fit due to the 24 pin wire (and I have nowhere else to route that thing)

Krazer

@GnomeSlice Apotheosis in particular, stands out to me as one of the best songs in a videogame ever

James

7:28 PM

Running the wires this time is going to be even more of a priority for me

Wipqozn

@RonanForman Yes, but I thought it just kept a few different sizes on the server. Increasing the size would just scale up/down the closest picture. Therefore the larger I make it, the larger size I'll get, et cetera.

James

I am looking to have 6 HDDs in there and I recall even with 4 power cords conflict with the graphic card layout etc.

Ben Brocka

It alllmost fits but not well enough I'd be confident screwing it in to place

GnomeSlice

@Krazer I don't know that track, I haven't played Journey.

This is the coolest thing ever.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Oh, goody.

Krazer

7:29 PM

►

fbueckert

Starting the next trilogy?

Wipqozn

I need to shower.

Ben Brocka

@James depends where the SATA plugins are in on your board, but they're dangerously close to one of the PCIe slots on my mobo

Wipqozn

tortoise shower

Ben Brocka

but it's also an ATX, not an XL or whatever you have

GnomeSlice

7:29 PM

Krazer

@Wipqozn tortoise soup imo

GnomeSlice

@Krazer Apotheosis?

Wipqozn

@Krazer NO. KEEP YOUR FORKS AWAY.

user15026

@fbueckert Taking a break, reading Year Zero by Rob Reid. Really good book

GnomeSlice

@Krazer This is extremely good.

user15026

7:30 PM

Is it sad that I have forgotten to add new contacts to my phone?

James

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn No.

user15026

@Wipqozn oh good.

James

@BenBrocka They are on the right side there, just opposite of the PCIe slots :/

Wipqozn

Okay, I really do need to take a shower.

tortoise shower

GnomeSlice

7:31 PM

WHO HAS ALL THE STARS NOW, HUH!?

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice I managed to push a space station core into orbit yesterday.

I get to spend much of today attempting to dock with it.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Oh, no, I'm looking at this.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice I understand.

I'm changing the subject.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert I wanted to make my moon lander have a docking capsule so you could rendevous with your fuel after takeoff, but I have no idea how to do that.

Game is too complicated now.

Ben Brocka

@James are the ports pointed sideways (the red/black things there halfway down?)

James

7:34 PM

@BenBrocka Aye, trick is sneaking them out the underside of the case ASAP then off to the drives.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice You DO realize one of the HARDEST things in orbital maneuvers is docking, right?

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Yeah, probably. I can't even get it to take off now though, it falls apart.

I'm just gonna forget that for now.

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn Facebook is my address book thanks to Android's thingy

James

I may try and take advantage of the hotswap bays this time though for the SSDs, its just that I recall those are the bays that specifically hate big graphic cards.

GnomeSlice

I can't remember what it was, but I used to play this 2D orbital game a loooong time ago... somewhere. You had to do docking

Ronan Forman

7:35 PM

6

user15026

@BenBrocka I have a bunch of people that don't have thier info on FB (I am one of them!) and I tend to not friend everyone on FB for various reasons

Ben Brocka

@James They shouldn't get in the way of the cards that way though, right? In my case they're annoying because they point up, and they're just under one of the slots. There's enough clearance, but just barely

James

@RonanForman I'd star that twice if it said Bah Humbug.. if it was possible :)

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn I can do some other christmas-ey things to it if you'd like.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Wait, you gave me a challenge you hadn't even done yourself yet?

fbueckert

7:35 PM

@GnomeSlice I had done it, actually.

GnomeSlice

Oh.

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn I have a few like that, but I just have people call me then I save them as a contact

fbueckert

My first space station had no docking ports, though.

So I had to repeat the process.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Er...

user15026

@BenBrocka Ah, but I don't want to make people make international calls just to do that :)

GnomeSlice

7:36 PM

I can't even figure out how to USE docking ports.

James

@BenBrocka I am hoping it will all work out well.. I am just not sure it will be as easy as I want.. I think this time around having a mobo that does not require extra molex connectors might be a + but we will see :)

GnomeSlice

Before I start learning how to maneuver.

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn Oh, yeah. International calls really shouldnt' be a "thing" anymore...but they are on some networks

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Docking ports are useless until you get something into orbit you can dock with.

Ben Brocka

@James your last mobo required molex connections?

GnomeSlice

7:37 PM

@fbueckert Can you use them on a rocket like re-usable decouplers?

James

@BenBrocka Aye, the mobo was made for extreme over clocking but the extra connections provided additional power to the PCIe Bus.

GnomeSlice

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice I believe so.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Neato-o. Gotta run though.

James

Power Connections
24pin ATX power (PW1)
8pin ATX 12V power

fbueckert

7:39 PM

@GnomeSlice I don't think they're that strong, though, so I'd not recommend it for getting into orbit.

James

That is for the new mobo

badp

bah

so many skills

so little points

bl2skills.com/gunzerker.html#000000000000555510010054300155000

Ben Brocka

@badp Yeah, I miss maxing 2 trees in BL1

badp

Down Not Out sounds awesome but... I'd have to spend so many points in useless stuff

Ben Brocka

@James Yeah that's all mine needs

Do you think a high-end 120mm might beat the stock 140mm fan in the rear of the HAF X? I got a 120mm sickleflow fan I dont' have anything else to do with

I meant to put it in the GPU vent thingy but I didn't get that in, and I can't get my GPU hot enough to need it anyway

James

7:43 PM

@BenBrocka asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1366/Rampage_III_Extreme/… My previous one, If ya check under Features you will see Dual 8pin and dual molex power connections

@BenBrocka If you are not having cooling issues I would leave well enough alone.. High end usually means noisy in the cooling area and the best anything is ever going to be able to do is room temperature.

Ben Brocka

@James True. Cooling's not a big problem, noise is, since I have no way to control the 3 fans on molex

Just hate to see the nice fan go to waste

@badp I just noticed the ridiculous proportions of the gunzerker (and I already noticed how tiny he is)

badp

btw, does the sanctuary loot level depend on your character level or on your Sanctuary level?

I'm talking specifically the golden chest thing

James

@BenBrocka I can understand that.

Ben Brocka

@badp pretty sure the golden chest is character level. But I would wait until playthrough 2.5 just to be sure...if you're like everyone else you'll probably level up to 50 during the final mission

badp

but once I do hit 2.5... it's kind of, like, over

except for Terramorphous and friends I guess

SaintWacko

7:51 PM

Somehow my friend's shift codes glitched, and he has 17 golden keys, after only entering 4 codes
