GAH THE AMAZON HOME PAGE CHANGED
 
@StrixVaria The hell...
o_O Looks the same to me.
 
@StrixVaria what?! I've been waiting for that change and I never get it
 
It's so white.
 
they're going for the futurist clean look
 
oh man
81 rep until 10k
I'm so close I can taste it.
 
10:01 PM
I just ordered something from Amazon today and didn't see it.
And now it's all different.
Not just the home page.
The whole thing :(
 
@Wipqozn What's it taste like?
 
@StrixVaria What did you get for me?
 
@OrigamiRobot Nothing. It's mine.
 
@StrixVaria That's what I said.
 
@StrixVaria product pages don't look that much different
 
10:02 PM
@StrixVaria I saw it yesterday
 
@agent numbers was like "blah blah blah chocobos blah roguelike blah different classes" and I wound up spending money.
 
@StrixVaria it's different on my ipad (which the new one is much nicer for) but not on a desktop
@StrixVaria you spent money because chocobos are awesome
 
I don't even remember what the game is called.
Chocobo is in the name, though.
 
WHO STILL SEES ME AS RED?
Show yourself!
 
@OrigamiRobot I do.
 
10:04 PM
@StrixVaria you <3 me, or you will after you play the game :)
@OrigamiRobot I do as well :O
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't but I'm gonna say I do to troll you
 
@Everyone arglanvoeairvmoaien
 
@OrigamiRobot You're still red. Reddy McRedFace.
 
@OrigamiRobot Me
@IanPugsley I actually think your No is trolling him :)
 
Shut up Grace @BenBrocka
 
10:06 PM
@OrigamiRobot I still see you as red at work, but green at home.
 
@OrigamiRobot I see green
 
What did I ever do to you, chat? I though we were ro-bros!
 
Speaking of home... shakes fist at traffic
 
Brobots, if you will.
 
Feeds is friends with no one.
 
10:07 PM
On a totally unrelated note, I found this cool music video thing
 
@murgatroid99 it's no "taking the hobbits to isengard"
 
@IanPugsley It think it's pretty close
 
@murgatroid99 ooo it does get good around 1:10
 
@IanPugsley Yeah, it really picks up

Q: Can't see underwater in Skyrim

RapturemachineAs of patch 1.5, I am completely unable to see underwater in Skyrim. It's not even that it's murky or dark - it's just a solid grey or green screen. I can still skim across the surface and see into deep waters, but if I go any deeper than that, nothing is visible. I can still access items like...

Q: Why did I get classified as 'Most honorable'?

FoxtrotYesterday, I was playing the wonderful Goldeneye, for the n64 with a few friends. We ended up playing a match, first to 10 kills. I won the match by going 10 (kills) and 2 (deaths). At the end screen, it shows the watch with some stats about who killed who and two descriptive statements about ...

 
10:11 PM
Actually, I think it might be better than "taking the hobbits to isengard"
 
@OrigamiRobot Sort of. Now in that picture you're green angry GIR
I didn't even think that was possible
 
@OrigamiRobot LMFAO
Yesterday a nice LoL from 'Dont call me a Website' and now this :)
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Preordered. Gonna hopefully pick it up tonight. Then I will ask all the questions. :)
 
@AshleyNunn I picked it today. Very enjoyable, although very hard on index finger.
 
10:15 PM
@murgatroid99 you've heard of Pogo, I assume?
 
@IanPugsley Love that remix.
 
crashes through steam
Anyone up for 50% off ACT?
ACR?
 
@IanPugsley no, though I did notice a mention of it in the comments of the video I posted
 
@Fredy31 ASsassin's Creed Revolution 50% off???
 
@murgatroid99 highly recommended
 
10:17 PM
I have an item in my inventory for that
 
@Fredy31 if you get rid of yours I've got another :P
 
Hmm, Id like it but I am weighing my chances of actually playing it any time soon :)
 
ACR for everyone!
 
Well, already own it on Xbox 360, willing to trade/give away.
We should have a website for that
trading steam items

Q: Steam item giveaway/trading thread

Dave McClellandWith Steam now giving away games as part of the Holiday Sale, a lot of us are bound to end up with extra copies of games. Instead of letting them sit around our Steam Inventories, let's spread them out among other Gaming members. Add an answer with the games you're trying to trade, the games yo...

 
10:18 PM
Meh, cant check my inventory on the iPhone app
 
@IanPugsley dammit, you beat me by a few seconds! Was just about to press send.
 
@Wipqozn I'd Slowbro you, but that would risk opening myself up to endless ridicule because I am notoriously slow
 
I'm making a world map for a...secret project (shhh) and I'm running out of interesting terrain types. I have plains, savannah, forest, jungle, desert, mountain, salt flats, swamp, and volcanic ashlands. I need one more that isn't uninhabitable.
 
@IanPugsley slow story, bro

A: Steam item giveaway/trading thread

Fredy31Would like: HalfLife 2 Ep. 1 Giving Away/Up for trade 50% off Assassin's Creed: Revelations (Expires April 1st)

 
10:25 PM
@StrixVaria beaches?
 
@IanPugsley That's just kind of automatic on a coastline for a plains/jungle/forest kind of area.
 
@StrixVaria permafrost/snow? (not that inhabitable typically)
 
@StrixVaria minecraft?
 
@BenBrocka Not minecraft. Not related to gaming.
 
10:26 PM
ah
 
I like permafrost.
I'm going to do that.
It's inhabitable enough...
 
big lake? Oasis?
permafrost is fun
so are saltflats, I was disapointed when the Boarderlands salt flats weren't...totally epic
 
Nothingness. One moment there's land, the next minute, BAM!
Nothingness.
 
@RonanForman I would watch that, but it's weird to listen to a conversation I already had
 
I've got used to it.
 
10:36 PM
@murgatroid99 yeah, watching your own commentary is weird
Though I watched one of my videos all the way through because it was so WTF I wanted to see it again

Q: Stuck on Joker and EDI in the cockpit? (Probable bug)

jordie3000Twice now I've gotten stuck in place after running into the cockpit to say hi to EDI and Joker. I can interact with them, which is nice, but I can't move, not even to just turn in place. Reloading solves the problem, but I was wondering if anyone else was running into this annoying little problem.

There isn't a question here
 
Revenge of the Sunfish is amazingly painful, bad and psychadelic though:

@James You try drawing Lisa Simpson on a tiny touch screen while holding a cigarette in your mouth. O.o
 
Is the cigarette that much of a hindrance?
 
10:50 PM
he's drawing WITH the cigarette
Orbital strike to Reaper = Meh, shrug it off
like 30 machine gun rounds = OH CRAP my armor exploded
 
@Tristan NONONONONO
 
@OrigamiRobot @Tristan Very much this.
 
Someone come play LoL with me.
I just spent 2 hours drawing a map and I need to do something mindless for a bit.
 
@StrixVaria ok
 
@Origami @John When are we playing tomorrow?
 
11:02 PM
@Blem What's your name?
 
@Tristan What they said. D:
 
blemx
 
@RonanForman Afternoon (here)?
 
@OrigamiRobot Would have to be.
Or morning here, I guess.
 
@OrigamiRobot @Tristan LEAGUE OF LEGENDS
 
11:03 PM
@StrixVaria I'm in
gotta update though
 
NP we'll wait.
 
@StrixVaria I just got involved in a Minecraft project...
 
@OrigamiRobot :(
 
But I wanna LoL...
 
@OrigamiRobot Make your choice.
 
11:05 PM
@StrixVaria LoL

Q: How do I change the pen size?

OakI'm playing Draw Something with someone and I've seen him draw with a thinner "pen" than the one I'm using. How can I use such a thin line? And can I also change the pen width to be wider than the default, not just thinner?

 
@IanPugsley ETA?
 
hey hey
 
user2334
Anyone here who's playing/played FF13-2 that can fact-check my answer here? Got another mysterious down vote and I'm not sure what I got wrong this time.
 
@MarkTrapp Mysterious Downvotes are facts of life.
 
11:16 PM
@StrixVaria done
 
@FAE Nothing needs the tag. It is a bad tag that should be burninated.
 
user2334
@RavenDreamer If there's a reason my answer is wrong, I'd like to correct it (never mind every single one of my recent ff13-2 answers has been down voted)
 
@MarkTrapp Yeah, but sometimes the assumption that someone found something wrong with your answer isn't always true.
Sometimes, people just downvote because they don't like your opinion, or because you used a funny font, or because you are named Mark.
 
@RonanForman It is very much a hindrance. Yes. @StrixVaria I would love to play some LoL but I am currently not home.
 
user19161
11:20 PM
@grace Are you here? I have a technical question for you if you are not busy.
 
@MarkTrapp Your answer for that 13-2 question is spot on.
 
wow, guns with the piercing mod in ME3 seem to do normal damage to armored targets, which is like 3x for some guns
 
@RavenDreamer hey, feel free to reopen my question gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/57739/… when you've actually read it
 
@WillHunting You should ask it anyway. It's likely Grace Note isn't the only one with the knowledge.
@Resorath Are you arguing that DotA and DotA2 should be treated as different games?
 
With 40 minutes left I'm still cap'n
 
11:22 PM
@RavenDreamer Well, they are?
 
user2334
@RavenDreamer SE doesn't do opinions (if my answer comes across as an opinion instead of an answer, that's something that I'd want to correct) and every post has the same font :)
 
@RavenDreamer You mean the warcraft 3 map from the early 2000's versus Valve's 2012 brand new engine game?
 
user2334
@Tristan Thanks for double-checking
 
I would say yes
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz In the same way that StarWars 3D is different from StarWars? Yes.
 
user19161
11:22 PM
@RavenDreamer Well, if I have 8 accounts say and I want to delete 4, what is the best way? Sending 4 emails seems stupid.
 
Why do you have 8 accounts?
 
Okay well I guess ill go post in meta
 
@Resorath It's got a new engine, but they kept all the major mechanics the same.
 
@RavenDreamer 'major mechanics' so there are differences in the minor ones?
 
user19161
@RonanForman By account I mean on say gaming and cooking.
 
11:23 PM
A new game is a new game, no matter how similar it is to it's predecessor mechanically.
This would be like closing a question about Baldurs Gate 2 as a duplicate of a similar question about Baldurs Gate 1.
 
Why do you even want them deleted?
 
@WillHunting Can you not merge them?
 
user19161
@RonanForman Well, I like to keep things clean.
 
Yes they're both AD&D 2e, and mechanically similar, but there are substantive differences in a variety of key places. They are different games.
 
user19161
@RavenDreamer No, I mean two accounts as in gaming and cooking.
 
11:25 PM
If the answer happens to be "DOTA2 is a lot like DOTA 1, and you can read this answer here _____", so be it, but it is not a dupe.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz No, again, it's like arguing Return of the Jedi is a different movie from Return of the Jedi 3D.
@WillHunting I'm sorry, I meant link them. You can link them so they all share the same email address.
 
no disrespect @RavenDreamer but please make your arguments in my meta discussion.

Q: Question closed due to unable to distinguish between games

ResorathMy question was closed due to one particular mod not able to distinguish between DotA (A Warcraft 3 map from the early 2000's) and DotA 2 (a brand new game by Valve scheduled for a 2012 release). I would like to know why this question was closed.

 
@Resorath Well, no disrespect, but I'm going to change your title to something a little less incindiary.
 
@RavenDreamer Thats fine
 
@RavenDreamer Are and synonymized?
 
user19161
11:27 PM
@RavenDreamer They do share the same email address. What I mean is the way to delete account X is to send an email to team+X@stackexchange.com. I wonder if I can just send one email to team@stackexchange.com and ask for account X1, X2, X3 etc to be deleted.
 
@Resorath It seems a little weird to me to read "my question was closed because X. Why was my question closed?"
 
@RavenDreamer That is a better title thank you.
 
@murgatroid99 It's only a rhetorical weirdness. If it makes it easier, insert the word 'unilaterally' at the end, and the sentence makes more sense.
 
@Resorath Whoops. Didn't mean to kill your links.
 
@murgatroid99 Agreed, edited
 
11:33 PM
@Resorath OK, I think it reads better now

Q: Is DotA the same game as DotA2?

ResorathMy question was closed because Raven Dreamer believes DotA (A Warcraft 3 map from the early 2000's) and DotA 2 (a brand new game by Valve scheduled for a 2012 release) are functionally identical. I believe these game's are distinct and the linked question does not even attempt to answer the que...

 
Okay anyways I'm heading out. Sorry for the undue drama of the question.
 
@Resorath Drama ain't your fault here, IMO.
 
@Resorath Honestly, I'd rather more people speak up when they feel the mods act in error.
Crap. How did I start writing the same answer two separate ways in two separate windows?
 
FYI, BioWare has advised that 'you'll want to be leveled up' for next weeks MP event. This weekends event is +25% MP Experience and 'fewer Brutes than normal spawning'.
(Incidentally, the fact that they're doing these weekly tells me that this is not a reaction to the ending outrage, sorry to burst your bubble on that one @RavenDreamer - this feels planned from day one.)
 
11:45 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Did I say I thought it was? All I remember predicting was that their servers would crash, which I was wrong about.
 
Here is another question that looks like NARQ
 
user2334
@Lazers Ugh, they both are pretty NC. Gorilla vs. Shark

Q: Yoshimitsu Moves

buddyIts one thing to change its another to take away yoshimitsu was the most respected character from personality to unorthodox fighting style i don't under stand why they would take her away and replace her with this new guy we no nothing about besides he killed the yoshimitsu. They said he killed h...

 
@RavenDreamer You did.
@MarkTrapp Eh, I think the various MOBA's are probably a special case here.
They're all basically sequels to the same game.
 
@MarkTrapp "What is the difference?" is not the same as "Which is better?"
 
11:47 PM
@murgatroid99 Also this.
 
user2334
@murgatroid99 That's implied. Otherwise the question has no purpose, no problem to be solved. The core driver is "tell me which game I should play", it's just going about it in a roundabout fashion.
 
user2334
> Do you own a gorilla? Do you own a shark? When was the last time you even saw a gorilla and shark going at it hand to fin? In other words, what is your skin in this particular game? What specific problem, other than idle curiosity, would answering this question satisfy or solve for you … or anyone else?
 
@MarkTrapp I think in this case it's more like "What has changed between version X and version Y of game Z?"
 
user2334
@LessPop_MoreFizz I think that's a stretch: how many MOBA games have to be made before you consider it to be a genre?
 
DotA 2 might as well be called DotA 1.5: The Graphical Revolution
 
11:51 PM
@MarkTrapp I don't think it's implied at all - it could just as easily be read as "I'm familiar with DOTA. If I play LoL What will be different?"
 
user2334
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's a different game. Narrow it down. What specifically do you want to know about?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz When DotA2 patchnotes are referencing "updating to DotA tournament builds", I think I can write it off as the same game.
 
user2334
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's like saying "I'm familiar with Dragon Age. If I play Final Fantasy, what will be different?"
 
@Resorath see below

A: Is DotA the same game as DotA2?

Raven DreamerThe reason I closed as duplicate was not because I do not acknowledge that the two are different games, but rather that they are functionally the same. While DotA and DotA2 have huge differences in terms of visual, ease of use, and matchmaking, the core gameplay has not been touched. In its cur...

 
@RavenDreamer That seems like a separate issue from whether we should be comparing these games

@RavenDreamer Are and synonymized?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz If I had my druthers, they would be.

@RavenDreamer I consider myself an idiom aficionado, but that's a new one to me. memorized
