Q: Is the Jack Phantom different from the other Phantoms?

Depending on end result of Grissom Academy, I killed her quickly with my sniper rifle and didn't have time to see if anything was different.

I still say it's pretty bad that I can be on the first page of all-time voters on a site I'm not even active on.

Ben Brocka

lasers...hurt

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka Lazers lasers, or Rannoch lasers?

Ben Brocka

Giant, frickin' 3 meter wide lasers

Tim Stone

Ah, yes...

Grace Note

2:14 AM

Those do sound like they might be painful.

Ben Brocka

epic slow mo event though

agent86

urgh, vega and ashley?

tzenes

don't lasers cauterize the wounds?

agent86

cmon ash! you've got more standards than that :/

I think he slipped her something

Tim Stone

2:15 AM

I'm not sure if it's still considered a wound if you've been vapourised.

tzenes

well, I could imagine only part of you getting vapourised

Grace Note

@TimStone I like Raven's "problem #2" there.

Tim Stone

@agent86 I feel like in that scenario she's almost better off dead.

Aye. :D

John

I can't believe I'm installing IE6...

Grace Note

...why are you...?

Wipqozn

2:20 AM

@John ...

We used to be frenemies @John, but now?

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote I don't know why everything in the galaxy is trying to kill me. I'm a decent person, honest!

John

Apparently LoL demands it.

Wipqozn

now we're nothing.

Ben Brocka

sorry tali

Grace Note

I was under the impression anyone who had to use it was because it was already installed.

Raven Dreamer

2:21 AM

@John hwha?

John

@Wipqozn Harsh.

Grace Note

@John ...what?

John

@RavenDreamer I'M JUST DOING WHAT THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY

cc @GraceNote

tzenes

wait, what?

Grace Note

What instructions?

Raven Dreamer

2:21 AM

@John Tell us what you're trying to do before you do something you regret.

Wipqozn

@John I'm sorry, but I can't be frenemies with someone who would install IE6.

tzenes

why are you using IE6?

isn't microsoft trying to deprecate that?

John

@GraceNote These

Wipqozn

@tzenes They already did.

Raven Dreamer

Threatening to use IE6 has raised @Tzenes from the dead.

John

2:22 AM

@RavenDreamer I'm trying to bring @tzenes back, obviously.

tzenes

you don't understand, my full time job is building websites

I hate IE6 with a passion

also, LoL loading screen

Raven Dreamer

@tzenes hate?

@John That is for league of legends 1.0.0

Ben Brocka

Hate.

Raven Dreamer

That's way back in beta.

John

@RavenDreamer Seriously?

Grace Note

2:23 AM

@tzenes Last I checked, they did.

John

Ugh.

@RavenDreamer What version am I supposed to have?

Wipqozn

@John The latest one.

tzenes

Udyr, is a jungler, yes a well known jungler, yes and Udyr is a Jungler, and I'm a jungler tooooooo

Ben Brocka

I was gonna say, there's no way LoL requires IE6 for anyp art of their site

John

If that's way back in beta, why is the latest test of it from yesterday...?

@RavenDreamer Which one?

Raven Dreamer

2:24 AM

@John na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1799844 ?

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer ...you need to login to see that?

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote Ah. It's in the testing forum.s

boompje.net

Though maybe not.

That's a year old.

John

@RavenDreamer That's Mac. I don't have Mac. Ubuntu all the way.

Raven Dreamer

Oh.

Grace Note

Oh, @Wipqozn, I've been listening to some of the tracks. I'm mighty disappointed that one of my favorite SNES era themes has been transformed into some kind of ugly shouty death metal stupid.

Raven Dreamer

2:27 AM

Well, I assumed if you were using Wine.

John

@RavenDreamer > You must first create a Summoner by logging into League of Legends before logging into our website.

Wipqozn

@GraceNote Which one? I've been having internet problems, so the album only just finished DLing about 20 minutes go.

Raven Dreamer

@John You can't create an account from an ubuntu box?

Grace Note

@Wipqozn You'll figure out when you hit the song that's ugly shouty death metal stupid.

Ian Pugsley

@GraceNote I want to listen to SNES era themes transformed into some kind of ugly shouty death metal stupid!

John

2:28 AM

@RavenDreamer Err, I thought I had. I thought that error meant they wanted me to log into the game...

Grace Note

@IanPugsley It's one of the songs from maverick.ocremix.org/index.php

John

Which I obviously can't do.

Raven Dreamer

@John Nay.

You just need to log into their website.

Wipqozn

@GraceNote haha, okay. I'm curious who remixed it. There was one on Serious MOnkey Business as well that was shouty death metal, curious if they were remixed by the same person.

Grace Note

@Wipqozn Alternatively, you could logic which is my one of my favorite themes by at least logicking which robot it belongs to.

Raven Dreamer

2:29 AM

@John how 'bout this? na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=973373

Grace Note

@Wipqozn No, it was done by Cyril the Wolf and Brandon Snell. Not all of their songs were ugly shouty death metal stupid, so that's why I was really disappointed that one of the songs I looked forward to was.

John

@RavenDreamer That looks promising, but I see IE6 in the deps, so I'm wondering if that's the newest version either...

Grace Note

Really, the big hint is that I'm a fan of brothers. If you can't figure that out from that, you should turn in your Megaman Fan badge.

agent86

@TimStone yeahhh, I don't think all the shower gel in the world is going to wash away that mistake....

Raven Dreamer

@agent86 they hooked up?

Grace Note

2:31 AM

(Not really, but I'd be really awesome pleased if you did figure it out just from that big hint)

agent86

@RavenDreamer indeed

Raven Dreamer

Note to self: Sacrifice Ashley on Virmire in all future playthroughs. It is for the best.

Ben Brocka

@agent86 barf

Raven Dreamer

Even if she has awesome armor in ME3.

Ben Brocka

@RavenDreamer Shoot Kaiden too. They're both jerks in ME3

agent86

2:32 AM

@RavenDreamer RIP ashley. you will be missed, but it's better this way

John

@RavenDreamer Can you tell which version this is?

Raven Dreamer

@BenBrocka but he hasn't given me Reave yet!

Wipqozn

@GraceNote Is there more than one Gravity Beetle song?

John

appdb.winehq.org/appimage.php?bThumbnail=true&iId=38469

Wipqozn

Because the one on the first disc isn't shouty death metal.

Ben Brocka

2:32 AM

@RavenDreamer well get it it an shoot him in the next playthrough

Grace Note

@Wipqozn Yes, there are at least two (I'm just now listening to the one from the first disc).

Ben Brocka

Didn't realize I was missing a bonus power by telling him to ^$%^ off

Grace Note

Also, I'm really happy you caught that big hint. ♪

Wipqozn

Raven Dreamer

@John At least the Akali patch.

LessPop_MoreFizz

2:34 AM

@RavenDreamer Reave is so good.

John

@RavenDreamer Which is how recent?

LessPop_MoreFizz

Only better bonus power is Defense Drone for Vanguards.

Raven Dreamer

@John over a year old.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I havne't experimented with that.

John

@RavenDreamer sigh

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RavenDreamer Facts about Defense Drone: It floats in a circle around Shepards head.

It is not a valid target for enemy attacks. It cannot be killed.

It does decent damage to anything within it's range from Shepard.

It can be upgraded to stun or knockdown anything it hits.

Raven Dreamer

2:35 AM

Sounds like a robot halo of death.

I need to play through the X games again.

Q: Does Explosive Hack deal damage only to enemies?

One of the rank 5 evolutions for the Sabotage power is called Explosive Hack. The description for this power reads: Synthetics explode when destroyed, dealing 490 points of damage across a 4 meter radius Having my enemy explode after I've killed it with Nova could leave me in an even more v...

Q: Can I view the outcomes of decisions from past games?

In Mass Effect 3, quite a few events depend on how decisions from Mass Effect 1 and 2 turned out. The game shows what decisions I made when I imported the save at the beginning, but once I am already playing, is there any way to see or determine what decisions I made in the previous games?

mass-effect-3

LessPop_MoreFizz

Vanguards are frequently in melee range of valid targets.

Melee range = Defense Drone range.

I think you can figure out the rest.

Also, holy shit I see an @tzenes in the chat list.

@tzenes hi.

Grace Note

@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't think tzenes is pronounced with a vowel sound at the start.

Wipqozn

Mega Man has always been one of my favourite series. The reason being that Mega MAn X was the first game that ever really sucked me in. I rented it waaaay back in the day and played it non-stop for the 3 days I had it haha.

Raven Dreamer

2:36 AM

@GraceNote I pronounce it "tuh-zeeeeeeens"

Grace Note

@Wipqozn Did you ever see the Sequelitis on Megaman X?

Wipqozn

@GraceNote I've watched it multiple times even!

Raven Dreamer

@Wipqozn I bought Maverick Hunter X last night.

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer That still doesn't have a vowel sound at the start!

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote I have.

Wipqozn

2:37 AM

@RavenDreamer I'd buy that if I had PSP.

Grace Note

@Wipqozn So've I! Now that you've evicted @John from being a frenemy, we should totally improve our ally status!

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote Aha. I didn't see what you were referring to.

Wipqozn

Although I prefer the 16-bit graphics over the 3D ones.

John

@GraceNote You don't like me either?

Wipqozn

@GraceNote Sounds good to me.

John

2:37 AM

:(

Raven Dreamer

@Wipqozn Oh god. I hope you never see the iOS graphics. :(

tzenes

"seens"

Wipqozn

Actually, that reminds me, I need to watch the OVA from Maverick Hunter

tzenes

and hi @less

Ben Brocka

@RavenDreamer ohh, I wonder if that's availible for the Vita

Grace Note

2:38 AM

@John Our status isn't changed, actually.

@BenBrocka He has a Vita, it was his first purchase and his first mistake in crossing me.

Raven Dreamer

@BenBrocka Since I'm playing it on the Vita...

John

@GraceNote Changed from..?

Grace Note

@John From its current state, naturally.

Ben Brocka

Ahh, that's cool

John

@GraceNote Which is...?

Ben Brocka

2:39 AM

still have some other psp games to play and Uncharted to play more of first tho

never did finish Prinny 2

Grace Note

@John Slowly improving as the duration of this continues

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote See, the problem with me, is that I have a horrible memory. If you don't keep reminding me to do something, I'll never do it.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GraceNote I tend to pronounce the @ for some reason.

John

@GraceNote So asking questions helps?

Grace Note

I just see that as more opportunities to increase the hurt counter that I have to dole out on our first meeting, @Raven.

Wipqozn

2:39 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that does that.

John

What's "this" exactly? This conversation? Our existence?

Grace Note

@John There is no a in existence.

John

@Wipqozn This.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@tzenes How ya been?

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote This is true. I have no idea what you look like. You'll have the element of surprise, and the malice to use it.

LessPop_MoreFizz

2:40 AM

@RavenDreamer I can rectify this information asymmetry.

Just sayin'.

John

@GraceNote You're avoiding my question by pointing out a spelling error.

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer Or you could just buy Trails in the Sky right now and minimize the amount of pain.

Tim Stone

preempts Lazers with a ...

LessPop_MoreFizz

It'll cost you though.

Grace Note

@John I'm pretty good like that.

@John Listen, in front of me is a can that has a depiction of what I can consider as nothing other than an "Enraged Flamelongo".

Raven Dreamer

2:41 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I have a feeling your information will be filled with such insights as, "Target walks nimbly, with a sureity of movement not out of place on a dancer", and less with pertinent information like, "6'3". Looks like a Viking."

Wipqozn

I'm pretty sure your relationship status with @GraceNote is not declining @John.

tzenes

@less well, but a little overworked

playing LoL right now

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer I am not that tall yet! I am happy to not be so tall!

John

@GraceNote Wow. That even stumped Google.

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote Note to self: Possibility of Grace Note being a viking is greater than 0%.

@Wipqozn Well it seems to be with everyone else. :( I was told I was hated twice yesterday.

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka What is with him and question marks?

@John My word! Who would say something like that?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RavenDreamer I can confirm that @GraceNote does not look like a viking.

Wipqozn

tries to remember if he told @John he hated him yesterday

Ben Brocka

2:43 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Hopes = shattered

Grace Note

I have a moose horn. That's... about as close to a Viking as I can get without my axe.

Raven Dreamer

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm not sure I can believe your puppet-lies!

@Wipqozn On an unrelated note (but actually related), I've been listening to this Magna Centipede song on repeat for a while now.

tzenes

man, what happened to all the good lol players?

are they taking a break today?

it's hard out here for a pug

Grace Note

Hah, is it one of those days?

tzenes

trying to get the ip for the runes

Raven Dreamer

Last game I played with Grace, we had that.

We stayed quiet, the other 8 bickered.

Wipqozn

2:46 AM

@GraceNote Haven't listened to it yet. I always go through the songs in order.

tzenes

@Grace I go 3-1-6 and we lose 9 to 25

Grace Note

@tzenes Yikes

...isn't that meaning you were a part of every kill?

tzenes

yes

I was jungle Udyr

Grace Note

@Wipqozn I was originally doing that, but then I saw a couple things I wanted to pop into an early listen, got horrendously repelled by ugly shouty death metal stupid, then consequently found a song that I really liked so I hadn't been able to return back to Disc 1 Track 4 (which is where I broke off).

Raven Dreamer

@LessPopMoreFizz what happens with Kai Leng if both Kirrahe and Thane are dead?

Grace Note

2:48 AM

You'll find it on Disc 3 when you make it there, but admittedly it'll take you a while.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RavenDreamer He kills the Salarian Ambassador.

agent86

@RavenDreamer I think if they're both dead, the councilor is assassinated.

Grace Note

@tzenes I've never gotten to try Udyr yet. He was on free week a couple times when I started but he then hasn't come up since.

tzenes

do you guys know Aaron Coplans: The Dodger?

LessPop_MoreFizz

At which point, Udina is able to show doctored footage to the Survivor implicating you in the assassination.

tzenes

2:50 AM

@Grace I'm trying to get good at jungling

LessPop_MoreFizz

Which makes it much harder to convince the survivor that Udina is a traitor, and makes it more likely that you will need to shoot them.

Grace Note

Other than Fiora, there's no one new in the free roster for me this week.

Raven Dreamer

@LessPop_MoreFizz The Survivor?

Wipqozn

@GraceNote Intruder Alert?

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote I will enjoy playing her with the sound off.

Grace Note

2:51 AM

@Wipqozn Yes

@RavenDreamer Can't stand the accent?

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote Combined with the smug superiority.

Grace Note

he's such a douche

2:55 AM

@tzenes and ashley is racist.

It's lose-lose.

Criminy, that seems like an awful choice

tzenes

wait, racist or speciesist?

Raven Dreamer

@LessPop_MoreFizz I knew that. I meant, opposed to Udina.

because Miranda is speciesist
