7:00 PM
@RonanForman ah gotcha, not entirely open ended?
 
@Ullallulloo Haha, Took so long to come out you're an adult now.. Like that stops us from gaming :D
 
@IanPugsley That's been done. (NSFW)
 
@IanPugsley What if someone said to delete the map?
 
@RonanForman I would be forced to do it.
And immediately restore the backup.
 
@RonanForman Does a 2x2 of 4 saplings always make a jungle tree?
 
7:04 PM
@James I think so.
 
So we're just going to let that one slide?
 
I've never had it not happen, but I've done it twice (and seen it done once)
 
Okay, so I'm trying a command, ignore my next line if it doesn't go through lol
 
@RonanForman that's arguably an out-of-game action, which I would strongly advise not letting anyone control
 
Woohoo, it works
 
7:05 PM
@GraceNote Which one slide?
 
@GraceNote I've never had to flag anything before...guess it's a good time to start
 
@RonanForman A message that I imagine would be more than flagged if we held everyone to the same standards we apparently hold GnomeSlice to.
 
@RonanForman I shall try, SCIENCE! :)
 
Hello everybody!
 
@PauskaSock Phear
 
7:09 PM
@PauskaSock Hello (I am horrified right now).
 
@GraceNote I didn't notice, I was playing bastion.
 
@IanPugsley No need to be horrified - the only thing you can catch from me is cottonmouth.
 
@RonanForman I imagine no one was noticing.
 
@PauskaSock You successfully made me cry and I am a robot.
 
@RonanForman +1, that does work :)
 
7:11 PM
Anybody else think it looks like JarJar?
 
@Ktash yes
 
The hop scotch, this is why you're great bastion.
 
@PauskaSock Cottonmouths are very deadly. Now I am more scared.
 
@OrigamiRobot ROFL
 
@Ktash That's what I was going to say. :P
 
7:15 PM
@Ktash No, it's this guy:
 
@PauskaSock oh look, it's archer
 
@PauskaSock Hey, Chuck's dad ;)
 
I know Enterprise got a lot of negative criticism, but I enjoyed it.
Certainly not one of the best Star Trek series, but enjoyable none the less.
 
@Wipqozn I really enjoyed the first season... I do not really remember why I did not keep watching it..
 
Also, Brent Spiner hilarious:
 
7:18 PM
The battering ram looks ugly, it's all 3D CG rather than the lovely painterly stuff that's in the rest of the game.
 
@Wipqozn Haha, Loved that episode! :)
 
Jean Luc has all the moves.
 
@rlemon Ok, normally I do not care, but how do you pronounce your name.. R Lemon?? Rlemon? :)
 
@James "Robert Lemon" or "r lemon"
or "lemon"
 
@rlemon Thanks! Now I can read your messages in my head with out stumbling :D
 
7:21 PM
the state of California knows me as "Sex offender #429"
 
@rlemon Yup, there comes that stumble again :P
 
but you can call me "Hey you in the bushes"
picardfights.tumblr.com <- source of those epic picard shots.
 
user15026
Guess who is finally getting to play Kingdom Hearts? Hint: It's me :D
 
@AshleyNunn Aww, you have to give us time to guess!! :(
 
user15026
@James Aww, sorry XD
 
7:26 PM
@AshleyNunn Bah I cant find a quick clip of the mitch hedberg joke :)
 
Do I want to waste $40 on MineCraft or this
 
@rlemon Minecraft
 
unless someone will give me $40 for this
 
@rlemon Seems like there are better things you could spend $40 on.
 
but how am I going to know the atomic weight of silicon while i'm scrubbing my unmentionables.
@GraceNote I have $40 on my paypal... so yea.. and no.
 
7:29 PM
@rlemon Anyone else disappointed you can't use the keyboard to fill out a comment ?? :)
 
haha. I could make it actually function. that is not a problem.
demo was to show off the css :P
 
OH my , look at my local game store is selling:

@rlemon liez
2
 
@rlemon Spend $25 on a time machine and go back to when an alpha key was $15.
 
@Wipqozn hey! you can get those on thinkgeek.com as well...
@Ullallulloo damn! you found me out!
 
7:35 PM
The thing about think geek is that no matter what the price, I'd always be willing to pay about £10 less.
 
@RonanForman That's how I am on XBLA; everything costs exactly 400 more points than I'm willing to pay
 
@MichaelMrozek This reminds me that I should cash in on those points I bought.
 
@GraceNote XBL points?
 
@IanPugsley Yes
 
@GraceNote didn't know you had a 360

Q: What's the difference between experience and fame?

DrakeI just got level 20 with my mage and the top bar just changed from experience to fame. The odd thing is that fame seems to be always at the same level, it never increases. Who can explain what's happened? Is level 20 the maximum? And how to increase fame?

Q: People are asking me questions. Do my answers matter?

Ashley NunnAfter I left the first tutorial area, I got asked three questions about what I valued, what I wanted, and what I was afraid of. I said I valued friendship, I wanted to broaden my horizons, and I was afraid of being indecisive. Do these answers matter? Do they make any significant changes to th...

 
@IanPugsley I do in fact have one
 
@GraceNote feel free to add me if you'd like (as can anyone here), tag is IPugsley
 
Sure thing, but I don't generally do online gaming on the system. I'm pretty sure our Gold-ness has expired by now.
 
@GraceNote buy Gold-ness with your points!
 
Hello bridge people
 
7:58 PM
@Lazers Well, for example, I have lots of experience and no fame :(
 
@LucasKauffman Hi!
 
@IanPugsley Good ol' Xbox Live website....you were last playing Netflix 14 hours ago.
I also like when I'm playing Xbox.com.
 
@Ullallulloo Their site has a different scope though. It's not apples to apples, us to them.
 
so ehm this is stackexchange for gamers
i think Ive been here before
 
8:01 PM
@RavenDreamer I don't know, maybe. Reading that sounds pretty similar.
@LucasKauffman Yes :)
We're the cool site.
 
@Ullallulloo biggest rager site prolly :o
j/k :p
I'm just a humble SF user :p
 
@Ullallulloo They make some interesting points, but I really wish that post had any data at all to back up what they were saying.
 
Questions on SF are, by definition, less concrete than most (but not all) the questions on gaming. It's exactly the reason we don't allow questions that amount to "Why did the Devs design things this way?".
@murgatroid99 It sounds like Oak! ;3
 
Hey, @PauskaSock is here!
 
@RavenDreamer We allow those questions ? o.O ?
 
8:05 PM
@LucasKauffman I have a "not" in there.
 
@PauskaSock yay, more people that play it!
 
mmm but I think that's normal
for a gamer it doesnt matter how you design something
when ur designing a system to support gamers
that's something different :p
 
@RavenDreamer If someone thinks that they should be allowed on one, but not the other, that's kind of just calling their quality lower.

Q: Height Cap of Trees in Jungle Biome?

Jimmy ChenBetween what heights will "Jungle" biome trees grow to? I'm curious because sometimes I get really short awkward trees, and at times I get huge trees with multiple layers of leaves. Is there a minimum height or maximum height?

1
Q: Is teleporting possible?

DrakeWhen playing Realm of the Mad God and wandering around sometimes another player appear suddenly near me, like he/she has just teleported there. Is it possible or are there other explanations?

 
8:13 PM
@RavenDreamer SF = serverfault not scifi :o
 
@Ullallulloo No, again, it's apples to oranges.
They're different sites, they (potentially) need different standards.
 
In AC3 news, box art revealed
 
I easily meet the standards for SF most days.
 
@Basil hi there basil
wait lots of serverfault people are here :o
 
Welcome all you new peoples.
 
8:16 PM
You came up.
Then we remembered that we're all gamer nerds as well as IT nerds.
well, some of us.
 
Word of Warning: We play fast and loose with stars, here.
 
@LucasKauffman shhh we're not here you're supposed to keep quiet
 
That's interesting. We play fast and loose with flags over on comms...
 
@TylerShads An ax? Some assassin
 
@BenBrocka supposed to be a tomohawk, i suppose some native american influence would be interesting to see if it would be on the assassin side
 
8:18 PM
@BenBrocka The sequel will have him wielding a chainsaw
 
Oh, yeah, I just noticed the redcoat and american flag
 
I'ma miss Ezio, but then again, I was hoping more for the 3rd one to be only Desmond kicking ass in 2012 instead of being animus bitch again.
 
@BenBrocka Hey, I imagine that an axe is pretty good at killing, and that's what an assassin is supposed to do.
 
looks around
Has the Bridge been taken over?
 
Assassins don't just kill they do it efficiently and subtly
 
8:20 PM
@ArdaXi We want your money, not your life.
 
@ArdaXi Yes.
 
@Basil That's smart, because given our subject you wouldn't get much of the latter.
 
@BenBrocka Depends on the necessities of the job.
 
@TylerShads we are ninja's :o
 
@GraceNote well I guess AC was never quite the Solid Snake sort of stealthy
 
8:22 PM
@ArdaXi How so? We have tonnes of extra lives.
 
Every mission did seem to end with the entire town after you
 
By the way, guys. You can take this as a challenge if you want.
in The Comms Room, 25 mins ago, by Grace Note
@Chopper3 You guys talk about ponies more than the Bridge.
 
@Basil Don't challenge them.
 
/target GraceNote /hug
 
@BenBrocka but it is fun that you cannot die easily xD.
 
8:24 PM
@Basil where is my hug =( ?
 
@RonanForman Tonne is disgusting
 
ME2 replay complete. ME3 now, please!
 
@Sterno I'm mad at ME3, Day1 DLC..really?
 
Eh, whatevs. If they released it two weeks later, I'd just buy it then instead
:)
 
I'm starting to regret having signed up for the 1 year wow sub... all I got was D3 (which I'm more and more convinced I won't have time to play) and a stupidly large mount.
 
8:26 PM
It's more that it was made during the game = incomplete game for $60, lovely
 
rite Im going to get to know you guys
so who plays league here on EU servers ?
 
@TylerShads $10 Day 0 DLC.
 
@TylerShads Will it really be "incomplete" though?
 
@Sterno considering the DLC is ready the day of launch and the character is a PROTHEAN..yeah that's kind of a huge deal
 
ow btw talking DLC, anyone played MS Flight yet ? :o
 
8:27 PM
There was Day 0 DLC for ME2. The Zaeed thing. You got it if you preo-ordered
I wouldn't call the game "incomplete" if you missed it
 
@Sterno that encouraged buying new, not the same thing
 
@TylerShads There's a "downtime" window while the game gets certified and discs get manufactured, etc.
 
still douchey though, but meh
 
It's either "make DLC", or "start making a new game".
 
@TylerShads Anyway, I'm not really trying to defend them. I'm just not terribly fussed about it, is all.
 
8:28 PM
@Sterno You got it if you bought a fresh copy of the game, period. (All games had cereberus keys)
@TylerShads That said, yeah, it's still douchey.
 
@RavenDreamer My bad.
 
@RavenDreamer not (typically) used copies
 
@TylerShads In my head, "new copy" was implicit.
 
They could have slapped a $70 price tag on it instead of $60, included the DLC, and I would have been all "sure! good deal!"
 
Fixt!
 
8:29 PM
(in fact, with the game grant, that would have been better) :)
 
@Sterno it's called a collectors edition :)
 
I don't really need art books and whatnot though
 
yeah, they often release collectors editions/ect that include crap like that
 
@TylerShads That's a separate bundle of DLC.
 
@RavenDreamer wait i thought from ashes was the extra DLC you get in the CE of ME3?
 
8:30 PM
@TylerShads Nope. You get the N7 arsenal pack.
 
@Sterno The devs loose out big time from that.
 
Anyway, if it turns out the game really feels incomplete without the DLC, I'll get mad then. But I don't see much point getting mad ahead of time. If it's like the Zaeed or Kasumi DLC, then meh.
 
Robinhood the DLC, then send Bioware a check directly, because @#$* EA.
 
hello from Windows 8 o/
 
@badp How you finding it?
 
8:31 PM
@Sterno Zaeed was a bonus to encouraged new game sales. ntm another human isn't as important to the lore than a race that sparked the entire series as we know it
 
turns out Windows still doesn't want to ship with nVidia drivers
 
@RavenDreamer I think most people stop at Step 1 of that plan.
 
@badp I feel so sorry for you
 
Things will probably improve once I get above 1024x768
 
And we don't actually know that the Prothean stuff will matter yet either. I mean, they could just do an absolute crap job on it
 
8:32 PM
@badp no graphics drivers?
 
@RavenDreamer I don't think this is bioware, mostly EA's crap
 
also I need to reinstall my supah-awsome custom keyboard bindings. Hm.
@RavenDreamer Well the standard ones really
 
EVERYONE! Day 1 DLC is a great marketing plan for devs, as they get around $27/60 of the money from retail, and about $9/10 from DLC, so the more of the game that's in the DLC gives them more revenue.
 
@Sterno His voice files are in the game. He's jamacian.
 
Also it means they still get money from used games.
 
8:33 PM
@Sterno That's like saying you don't know if the ring matters before reading Return of the King
 
Okay, for real, does anyone see a grammatical error in this?:
 
@TylerShads Exactly. Hence, "send the check to bioware"
 
> Although formal education is a plus, it's not required.
 
@TylerShads I think you're exaggerating. But I guess we'll see in a few days.
 
Also I'm using IE10 and it's less than perfect :(
at least for SE
 
8:33 PM
@Ullallulloo Nope.
 
@RavenDreamer If ic ould just pay bioware directly for ME3 i would. but as it stands, they have become another one of my boycott =[[[
 
I have been entirely too productive today. I've barely wasted any time on this chat at all.
 
It's more like saying you don't know if that hobbit that Gollum originally killed for the ring, but turns out to be alive and show up for a chapter, actually matters :P
 
@TylerShads Do you really have 3 mouths? O.o
 
@TylerShads Yes! I will never give EA any of my money!
 
8:34 PM
Also I wish that connecting Google accounts actually worked
it might be failing because of 2-factor authentication though
 
@Sterno a bit of an exaggeration, maybe. But from the start, the protheans have moved the story forward. Caused Shepard to become as great as he is. Revealed the truth about the Reapers, and then we found out they were the Collectors. I'm pretty sure they have story significance
@RavenDreamer mebe >...>
 
@badp There's a way to connect Google accounts?
 
Oh yay, native resolution GET! Things are already looking up
@StrixVaria Yep. Works for at least the mail app and the calendar app - nothing new really
 
@StrixVaria I've been boycotting Activision/Blizzard since the whole D3 money auction house and now I gotta boycott ME3 cause of Day 0 dlc, damn them all!
 
@StrixVaria I feel for you, but even if they start making less money, they'll just fire devs.
 
8:35 PM
@TylerShads I'm actually worried they'll ruin the protheans by having one be alive. They're way cooler as an extinct race
 
@StrixVaria Yup!
 
@TylerShads What in the world does the real money auction house do that is boycott-worthy?
 
@Sterno That is also a good choice
 
@TylerShads I have never understood the outrage over RMAH
 
@Sterno Cryonics.
 
8:36 PM
@StrixVaria The ability to literally buy power. NTM all the monetization of automated services on WoW and the decline of general quality of the game.
 
@StrixVaria Agreed. @TylerShads boycott for the "AlwaysOnline".
 
@StrixVaria GET OUT OF OUR BRAIN
 
@TylerShads How does someone else buying power ruin your game?
 
The RMAH was more of a last straw with them.
 
Aha! Now I have graphic acceleration!
That means I can now play XBOX LIVE SOLITAIRE
 
8:37 PM
@TylerShads People could always spend real money to get items. Now it is just safer.
 
@StrixVaria Because it's encouraging the very thing Blizz has been trying to combat in WoW for ages. And I kinda forgot the rest of my points as I haven't had a diagreement over it in a while xD
 
I am personally going to spend $0 on the RMAH. That's all I really need to know about it.
 
It's just hard to work up a proper outrage at game publishers these days. With all the other crap in life, whether or not someone charges me an extra $10 for a game or has a RMAH isn't keeping me up at night.
 
---ROFL. It comes with an ERBS notice
 
Heck, maybe I'll make money with the RMAH. Winner = me
 
8:38 PM
I think it's silly to boycott a game over a feature you can literally ignore and it doesn't affect you one iota.
2
 
Now if there were only a RMAH, outrage would be understandable.
 
Boycott it because Activision is the embodiment of evil, sure. I can't argue with you over that. But because of the RMAH? Lol.
 
@StrixVaria it's a collection of things with that being a final straw
I have so many complaints about that company.
 
@TylerShads Actually, the idea is that having RMAH makes gold sellers less likely. (Dunno if I agree with that, however)
 
"Embodiment of evil?" I hope you boycott corporations that do actual evil stuff too, and not just entertainment industry that don't provide games to you in a manner you like best. :P
2
 
8:39 PM
@Sterno shhhhhh
 
I BET UR JELLY
 
@StrixVaria Seriously, this is my favorite joke, but are you looking over my shoulder or something?
 
@TylerShads I trust Blizzard despite being owned by Activision. I wouldn't buy an Activision game not made by Blizzard.
@OrigamiRobot What joke?
 
@StrixVaria I have lost a lot of trust in that company as of late.
 
 
8:41 PM
Also, I can't even count the hours I spent playind D2.
 
@badp oh god, what are the achievements for solitare
 
@StrixVaria I am trying to say things, but you are saying those exact things before me!
 
I have panic attacks even thinking about not playing D3.
2
@OrigamiRobot This half of the brain must just type faster.
 
Someone go answer my Bard's Tale question so I can start playing it.
 
@StrixVaria Obviously. Save some CPU time for me!
 
8:43 PM
@Sterno I think sometimes people forget about that.

Q: How do I reset the shop and dungeons in Bard's Tale?

SternoI've long since lost my disks for Bard's Tale, but I've been copying the files from computer to computer for about a decade. I'd like to play the game again, but I want to play it fresh, with no sold items appearing in Garth's Equipment shop, and none of the keys (or the eye) already taken from...

Q: Skyrim Companion's quest "Striking the Heart."

MattI went where it told me to go in Valheim Towers but there isn't anyone there and I don't know what to do.

 
@TylerShads no idea really
 
Damn, Google is fast. I'm googling for an answer to my own question, and it's already the top hit
 
heyy
 
uh, so the XBox Live Companion thingadongdong is not available in my region
 
8:47 PM
Hello, @helpme
 
can some one help me with some upvotes?
 
also chat does not refresh while not focused and I have to assume there's not going to ever be a workaround for that from within metro.
 
i am blocked asking anymore questions
 
Haha. Sorry @badp, @RavenDreamer. I sent him over here.
 
@RegDwightѬſ道 fail :P
 
8:48 PM
due to some really bad questions
please
 
I didn't expect people to listen to me.
 
@helpme sorry, this is the Gaming community. We can't help you for your Stack Overflow problems
 
sorry
 
No big deal.
You should totes come visit us on Gaming, though!
We've got a site, and everything!
 
Just type "insert coin".
 
8:50 PM
I must say that right clicking to toggle the chrome on and off quickly grows onto you
 
@fredley Yayyyyyy <3
 
@fredley Windows 95 is shit?! Windows 3.1 is good?!?!?!!!
What the fuck is this guy smoking.
 
user15026
@badp That was my thought too...
 
@fredley Forgot 2000 (which was good) XP is only good compared to Vista.
 
8:52 PM
The graphic is way more appropriate if you change "good" to "is really a service pack for the previous OS" and "shit" to "has actually innovative stuff that people hate because it is new"
 
@badp Shhhhhh
 
Joke Denied
 
As a developer, it's really annoying how much people hate new, better software
 
@badp Nah, Vista was pretty bad.
 
@RavenDreamer Vista was pretty rushed
then again delaying it even longer would've made it ever worse
 
8:54 PM
@badp buggy and compatibility issues
 
I wasn't rushing anyone for Vista.
 
After a year of people actually working to properly support it the compatibility issues went away
 
They could've taken all the time they wanted.
 
@badp Yeah, but that was one year more than what many people felt they should have done.
 
and the compatibility issues were there in the first place because Windows XP is the shit OS that allows developers to get lazy and assume everybody has all the rights to do all the things at all times
 
8:55 PM
@badp Insert 'Have ALL the rights' meme here.
 
"What do you mean I can't save temporary files to my program folder! That's what we've been doing since 3.1!"
 
@RavenDreamer Insert ALL the memes.
 
@Wipqozn ugh
 
@Wipqozn "We ran out of lies for our 3rd bullet point, so let's just reiterate the first 2 again!"
 
8:59 PM
I think the real question is why does this ad exist.
Anyone using not-IE probably knows better than to use IE.
 
IE 9 is almost as good as its competitors
it's not as good, though, and they know it
Firefox sucks now
