@LessPop_MoreFizz Why?
Just. Why.
 
I know it's making fun of dicks, but do you have to do it like that?
 
@RonanForman Rick Santorum deserves it.
He deserves every last bit of it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz heehee
 
8:15 PM
@RavenDreamer why remove from this? We had this discussion in chat earlier and it's kind of important.

Q: Can a PSP play PSOne Classics from PSN (e.g., Final Fantasy VII)?

Michael StumI'm thinking about getting a second hand PSP, the original one with UMD Drive. I just noticed that the PSN Store has many PSOne classics (like Final Fantasy VII and IX), but I wonder if that works on a PSP, or if it needs a Playstation 3, which I don't have?

Q: Tax form (asking for our SSN)?

ZenoI won one of the ME3Missions prizes and received an email from the SE Community Developer (I assume). The typical questions like address etc were asked, but also requested that I fill out a W9 form. 1) Is this legit? 2) What is the reason for this (I was told "for tax reasons", but that is kind...

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz what
 
@Resorath Santorum-San!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh Japanese. got it. Continue on.
 
@Resorath Well, more making fun of Rick Santorum, but yes.
 
8:18 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz The rainbow arc is perfect
 
Gah, I just killed about half of my military teaching them to swim.
Stupid bugged Wall Grates.
 
man, you guys are making it hard to not do my job today
 
We're that boring, huh?
You could always try getting your right arm outfitted with a gatling bazooka - I imagine that'd do horrors to your ability to do your job.
 
@GraceNote Not all of us, just you.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I will not deny this - this has been my most boring day so far.
 
8:30 PM
@GraceNote depends on whether or not it was also a USB keyboard
@GraceNote Rondo might be back on scifi, if that helps at all
 
@GraceNote You'd be the expert on this.
 
@IanPugsley We'll just hook that up to a Dreamcast battery pack on your back.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Is there actually a product line called "psone classics"?
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm not convinced that having a rapidfire explosive ordinance for a limb would be a hazard to a piece of self-propelled artillery.
Well, aside from the whole "limb" thing
 
@GraceNote if I can still play Soul Calibur, I'm good
 
8:32 PM
@IanPugsley You can kill zombies. Does that count?
 
@GraceNote not in the least - ammunition is a concern if zombies are in the mix, and I'd much rather play Soul Calibur than attempt to survive in a zombie apocalypse
 
@agent86 for what it's worth, SE didn't make me fill out a W-9 for the TV.
 
also @GraceNote, what kinds of fighting games do you play? I know you've mentioned the genre before
 
@RavenDreamer Yes. Well, line of products.
 
@IanPugsley I don't recall the keyboards having an ammo issue.
@RavenDreamer You're going to need to, probably.
 
8:34 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz My apologies then, you can put it back.
@GraceNote Hm.
 
@IanPugsley Excluding the Smash Bros. series, the two current ones of standard fare I generally play are BlazBlue and Hisoutensoku.
 
@RavenDreamer Gosh! Do we need to call your age and maturity into question?
 
Wow, quiet question day... Whats up with that?
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm not a teen. I'm a twenties.
 
@GraceNote I actually picked up BlazBlue recently
 
8:36 PM
@RavenDreamer Read the answer.
 
@IanPugsley You should pick up Hisoutensoku, then, since that's the one I'm more likely to be able to do netplay on (and also beat you silly).
 
@GraceNote you'll beat me silly regardless, I'm barely able to do basic combos
I'm used to some complexity in fighting games, but good lord Japan, work with me here!
 
@BenBrocka Prioritize making new dragon types or maxing the level of my dragons?
 
@GraceNote also what platform?
 
@IanPugsley I have Calamity Trigger on the 360, and Continuum Shift on the PS3.
 
8:38 PM
@OrigamiRobot What an awful way to frame the question.
 
@GraceNote aww I've got Continuum Shift on the 360
 
@IanPugsley Aww
 
@RavenDreamer There's a reason it's -64
 
what platform is Hisoutensoku for?
 
@James Why can't you do both at once? Planting food and feeding shouldn't stop you from buying new dragons
 
8:41 PM
@BenBrocka They both cost money
I can spend it on feed or I can spend it on dragons
 
@agent86 hugs
 
Food really shouldn't be THAT expensive except when you juuust have enough money for a single dragon
 
I hate that argument. It's tradition!".
 
@Wipqozn Hating things is a tradition on GSE.

Q: How quickly do larva spawn in Starcraft 2?

Drew HutchisonWhen I play Starcraft 2 as the zerg I always lose track of my larva while fighting battles or exploring. I was wondering if anyone knew exactly how many seconds it takes for larva to spawn.

Q: Does "no scoping" do less damage then scoping

ParalyticSpecificly in Sniper Rifles i have noticed that when I "no scope" a target (normally at close range) it appears that the damage I do is significantly less then when im scoping a target. This has put me in the habit of actually scoping in no matter the distance. When I "no scope" I normally aim f...

 
8:43 PM
@Wipqozn What are you talking about? The historical lock?
That really has nothing to do with "tradition"
 
@BenBrocka I'm just saying I hate it when people that use the "it's tradition" argument.
That's all I'm commenting on.
 
@IanPugsley It's a PC import.
It's essentially what you get by crossing a normally curtain fire shmup series into the realm of a 2D fighter.
 
Oh. I agree with you on that anyway
 
No, I have no idea where you can get it for a good price right now, though.
Last I checked with @FAE, import shops that we could find sold it for no less than $70. It's a good game, but good heavens, $70 is still too much.
 
@GraceNote physical stuff sucks!
 
8:46 PM
@BenBrocka Yes, yes, I remember this argument. I don't think the situation will change for this, though.
 
@GraceNote ....
 
Doesn't make physical stuff suck any less
 
@IanPugsley I got mine for $30.
 
@GraceNote Tomba! and Tomba! 2 are worth so much now. I wish I had taken better care of my games back then.
 
So, yeah - I really dislike that the one import shop I did use, had closed.
 
8:47 PM
Most good PS1 games are now $60/70 as well, and that's for American stuff not even imports
 
@BenBrocka even N64 games are surprisingly expensive (not that high, but still)
 
I ponder the common price for Ogre Battle 64.
 
I wish I could find a copy of Legend of Dragoon
I have fond memories of that from my childhood.
 
@RavenDreamer I've got one. You want it?
 
@OrigamiRobot Can I just pop it in my PS3 or would their be compatibility issues?
(or do you not know?)
@GraceNote It's on wiiware
 
8:50 PM
@RavenDreamer I have no idea. I wouldn't give it to you anyway. :P
 
is yours PS1 backwards compatible?
 
I used to have the original color discs.
 
@OrigamiRobot (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻)
@BenBrocka I honestly do not know.
 
These are the B&W Greatest Hits version.
 
Nor am I in a position to check, currently.
 
8:51 PM
@RavenDreamer is it fat?
 
@BenBrocka No.
 
Probably not then
 
Oh yeah, that's one of the things they removed, hunh?
 
There's a petition to bring it to US PSN though: share.blog.us.playstation.com/ideas/2010/03/17/…
 
@RavenDreamer clearly the rest of us are victims of a massive identity theft ring :(
 
8:52 PM
@BenBrocka The slims can play PS1, just not PS2.
 
Of course the Japanese PSN already has it
 
@Wipqozn urge... to punch... draining
 
hate regions so hard
 
@BenBrocka hehe, The dragons are like 75k or so. food is 1000.. but when I only make a few thousand an hour.. its of note :)
 
@Ullallulloo this is the dumbest thing ever and I hate it
 
8:52 PM
@agent86 Or they have sent me so much stuff over the past year that they got the postman to spy for them, and have a lot more than just my SSN.
 
@Ullallulloo oh, right, derp. PS1 games will work fine (I've never had a single problem), PS2 won't for your thing
 
@agent86 Me too.
 
@agent86 but it would have cost like $30 to include the compatibility or something! Surely NO ONE would pay extra.
The whole thing was stupid, just offer a different model that's more expensive with compatability
 
Or jailbreak your ps3.
I'm sure the hackers have kludged up something.
@BenBrocka Sadly, that's two years old.
 
Wow LoD is $60 brand new on ebay.
Tomba! is $150 and Tomba! 2 is $70
I want to go back in time and punch my disc-leaving-out younger self in the existence!
 
8:55 PM
@RavenDreamer yeah. It;s still possible as they slowly continue to release stuff, but unless it was popular (was it?) I wouldn't hold your breath
 
@BenBrocka But the Japanese PSN already has it. It's already localized.
What would the actual cost be in terms of putting it up?
 
@RavenDreamer BECAUSE %^&* YOU THAT'S THE COST
I honestly don't know, some bullsh*t about release windows, not flooding the market, legal crap
 
@RavenDreamer Certification fees for it going through SCEA
 
Some lawyer or business man needs to die for it, that's all I know
 
It just occurred to me that I like watching female dance moves more than male dance moves. It then occurred to me that this was probably the intent, and I'm a good little sheeple.
 
8:57 PM
AoE Online got on Steam?
 
it's called the "we don't care what you want, if we want to know what you want, we will tell you what you want" strategy for marketing.
aka, what every marketing department does. all the time.
 
If only 1000 people want it, and say the certification fees are like. $20,000 they would have to price the game at $20 a pop to make ends meet and see no profit
 
@RavenDreamer nah, it's a hardware thing
 
@BenBrocka Yeah. We solve that with emulators. Which you could download, if you jailbroke your pS3.
 
I doubt half the people on that list would pay $20 for it either ;)
 
8:58 PM
@agent86 A marketer is just a UX researcher who's gone retarded
 
Didn't a judge rule customers were legally allowed to jailbreak their own devices? (in this case, iPhones?)
 
@James extremely doubtful only 1000 people would buy it
 
Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, and 3 are $50, $35, and $70 respectively.
 
@Ullallulloo saw some thing about that a day or so ago.
 
that's just 1000 pepole that have found a very specific web site, registered for it, and voted for that specific proposal
 
8:59 PM
I hate myself so much.
 
@BenBrocka That petition only had 990ish votes, over 2 years, heheh :)
 
@OrigamiRobot on PSN they're all $6 though. That's the difference
 
@RavenDreamer Not a judge. Library of Congress granted a 1-year exemption to DMCA with regards to jail breaking devices for the specific purpose of installing additional software that is not installable otherwise.
 
@James the actual market demand is undeniably much larger
 
@BenBrocka I do deny your statement of Much :)
 
8:59 PM
@BenBrocka I had actual physical copies that I ruined or lost.
