@murgatroid99 not always, sadly... a couple of days ago I got to It lives with Magdalene, 12 containers+5 soul hearts but a miserable damage, it took me 5 minutes to take 25% of his life, then I died
 
@Kappei well, usually
 
I, uh... slow the clock rate down on my processor. makes the game sooo much easier :)
 
@agent86 for BoI?
 
(now who's exploiting?)
 
@Kappei yeah. I just unplug the power adapter from my laptop, thereby throttling my CPU.
@DavidB what has two thumbs and a laptop in power saving mode? this guy!
well, that would look better if your name wasn't in the way.

Q: We are filming a commercial tomorrow so there may be duplicate questions

LaurenJust wanted to let you know that we are going to be filming a commercial tomorrow for an upcoming tournament we're sponsoring, and part of it will involve screen shots of questions about League of Legends. If we have to do multiple takes, we may have to ask the same question a few times. So, if y...

 
FAE
@Lazers ...bwuh o_o
 
we can't... y'know, mock this up or something?
and also, a commercial featuring LoL?
 
user2334
Doesn't SE have internal instances?
 
haven't we learned the LoL lesson yet? I guess we need it to be taught again...
 
@agent86 why? what happened?
 
9:22 PM
@Kappei there was a LoL promo, and I have never seen so many really low quality questions and answers in such a short period of time.
 
@Kappei LoL players came here.
 
I mean, D3/ME3 were feeding frenzies, sure, but good lord. we were just inundated by garbage so fast, and the terminology was so impenetrable that most of us just kind of went cross eyed and didn't know what to do
 
I'm having nightmares already. — StrixVaria 5 mins ago
 
@StrixVaria indeed.
 
@agent86 There's a reason I have the LoL tag ignored.
 
9:25 PM
@fbueckert yeah, same, but sadly being a moderator means I am pretty much obligated to look at them when they get flagged anyhow :P
 
@fbueckert I'll have to prepare myself then
 
user2334
Still think this merits the jackiechan.png rage face panel
 
@agent86 The terminology was the biggest hurdle I think, non-LoL players were pretty much incapable of efficient community moderation on those questions.
 
Aside from the fact that I already know no one would vote for me, things like that LoL competition are the reason I haven't run for moderator.
 
user2334
@StrixVaria I'd vote for you. Or at least I'd say that.
 
9:26 PM
@MarkTrapp I actually voted for you.
 
user2334
I'm so, so sorry.
 
I do hope that SE formulates the questions themselves, and doesn't take them from a representative example of the LoL community.
 
@MadScientist yeah, the terminology is also very short-hand-esque, so sometimes you'd get a quality question that just looked like a bunch of spam/garbage.
no real way to discern "is this bad subjective? is this a real question? did someone's cat sit on their keyboard, and then miraculously tag the question ?"
 
Let me propose as a non-mod a new requirement for mods. You have to play all the games.
 
@StrixVaria sure! I'll just need a hefty salary and a video game purchasing stipend, then I'll be all set :P
I would happily play ALL THE GAMES and get paid :D
 
9:30 PM
@agent86 everytime somebody talks about cats and keyboards, this is what comes to my mind:
 
sigh
 
@Kappei there is a cat in this, but there is no keyboard. you get half credit.
@fbueckert $250 and it sold?! wtf, I am in the wrong industry.
 
@agent86 you've never seen this show, right?
@fbueckert holy crap!
 
@fbueckert How on earth is this animated? It can't be a .jpg. But the URL...
 
@agent86 Woah woah woah!! Wait a minute.. You have my home address to send me an X-Mas Card!? Stalker!!! :D
 
9:33 PM
@Kappei I have seen it, but it was a long time ago.
@James psh, I'm totally putting that in the box with the pictures of your house and the ones when you went out to dinner that one time and burning it now though.
 
@agent86 That's what I say. What is wrong with people!?
 
@Fluttershy FTL is a rogue-like space game.. like.. or so is its description, It looks like a pretty kewl game and the kick starter backers are entering the beta soon :)
 
Yay. Spam friend request!
 
@StrixVaria It's a .gif named a .jpg.
 
Can we hide the D3 Battle tags now, please?
 
9:35 PM
The browser's smart enough to recognize it for what it really is though.
 
@fbueckert I regret putting my battle tag in that spreadsheet.
 
@agent86 the main character's first transformation in Freakazoid was from his cat typing a random string on his PC
 
@Kappei ah, alright then
 
Aww. I can't even sell stuff on the AH without an authenticator.
 
don't derp on me Youtube
why are you derping on me
 
9:37 PM
@StrixVaria Why?
 
@skovacs1 I've gotten a lot of friend request from people I don't know and spammers.
 
@fbueckert are you sure? I thought it was only necessary if you wanted to transfer your money from the Blizz account
 
@Kappei Just tried it.
 
user2334
Nobody ever spams me with friend requests. tridentgumtelephonerepairman.jpg
 
It won't let me even post an item for sale.
 
9:38 PM
@StrixVaria The only request I received was from Krazer. I added Ebongo after they joined one of our runs for some testing. Strange...
 
That sucks
 
@fbueckert if you've got a cell, can't you use their little SMS-based authenticator? or if it's android/iphone, the app-based one
 
Anyway you can get a free mobile authenticator
 
@agent86 I just put an authentication on my ipod.
 
@agent86 I may end up doing that, just so I can post random junk in the RMAH for shits and giggles.
 
9:40 PM
yeah, if I had something worth selling, I'd consider selling it :P
 
@agent86 text message authentication?? Or do you mean the phone authenticator??
Their dial-up phone authenticator does not work for any other game than World of Warcraft.
Which they sent me an email about kindly explaining the authentication on my account doesnt protect anything else except those accounts

A: I'm hearing rumors of Battle.net accounts being hijacked and stolen in Diablo 3. How can I protect myself?

agent86Blizzard released an official statement about the current situation. Their official statement denies that there are any current exploits, or that Authenticator-locked accounts have been compromised. (We can always trust what a company says about their own security, right?) However, it also men...

they won't let me use my cell phone, since it's prepaid. I also don't know if it counts for the RMAH or not
just throwing it out there for further testing by some brave, under-phone-contract-but-not-iphone-or-android individual.
 
THe SMS one does not appear to be an authenticator at all.. but a secondary protection on the system if it gets hijacked to take it back.
From the email they sent me:
If you have already purchased Diablo III or StarCraft II -- or are considering purchasing these games in the future -- and wish to protect your Battle.net account from unauthorized access when logging in to these games, we recommend one of the following:


- Battle.net Authenticator - a physical device that you can carry on your keychain, available from the Blizzard Store

- Battle.net Mobile Authenticator - a mobile app available as a free download for iPhone, iPod touch, and Android
From the FAQ on SMS Protect:
What can I do with Battle.net SMS Protect?
Battle.net SMS Protect will allow you to:

Unlock your Battle.net account using your mobile phone.
Remove an unwanted authenticator from your account.
Recover your account name.
Reset your password.
That first one is open to interpretation I suppose as to what unlock means

@QAzer You did the Reddit Airmech thing, right?

Q: What are the highest living rating uncolonized territories in Victoria II?

Jader DiasI have found the following: 35 Mayotte 35 Comoros 30 South Georgia What are the others?

 
@agent86 What if you use a redirecting number like Google Voice, would that work?
 
10:34 PM
What colour are question title links in chat for you guys?
Blue or green.
 
@GnomeSlice Green
 
@Alok They're not blue along with the rest of the links?
 
@GnomeSlice No - green for normal, grey for meta questions. But I'm reading with images off, let me check if that makes a difference
 
Huh, okay.
 
Bwahaha. When all else fails, pester Jin on twitter.
 
10:37 PM
Still green
color #5A8F53 acc. to Firebug
 
user2334
Dang, spoke too soon. First spam friend request
 
Ooooh. Invite to Careers.stackexchange. Wonder what triggered that.

Huh, so the question link colours didn't change with the new design.
 
@GnomeSlice I have no clue of where to even put it.

Q: Will Telltale's The Walking Dead require online access to play or just to download or both?

user27561I may not have online access on the future, but I have it for the moment and I was thinking about dowwnloading the game from the PSN store. I played the demo, and everytime I went to start it it kept trying to sign me in. I didn't have to play the demo signed in, but I will have to play the full ...

Q: When does the revive timer reset?

PentWhen you die a couple times, your time to revive takes much longer. What are the mechanics of this? How long do I wait to have it reset to 0?

 
10:48 PM
@QAzer What? No, the guy who has the subreddit said it was awesome.
 
@GnomeSlice Oh that's great. Glad you guys like it xD
 
@QAzer What did you do it with?
 
@GnomeSlice I saved it as a .svg and an .ai file in case you guys wanted the originals?
 
@QAzer Ah, you used illustrator?
Man, what the hell, that's so much better than the one I did, are you studying graphic design?
 
@GnomeSlice Not really, I do it for fun on the side. I don't get enough practice xD
 
10:53 PM
@QAzer Jesus... I should pick a different field of study, I guess.
 
@GnomeSlice Don't give up. You just need practice. If you need help, I can help you where I can. We each set out own pace, afterall.
 
@QAzer I'm not artistic enough, hah.
 
@GnomeSlice Very few people start out artistic. This is what happens when one guy practices art every day for nine years: vimeo.com/29510470
 
@QAzer Can't stream video at all, but it sounds interesting.
 
@GnomeSlice Vimeo is weird sometimes. Try this.
 
11:04 PM
@QAzer No, I mean I can't stream it because my internet it so slow.
 
@GnomeSlice should I call a plumber to fix that clog? :P
 
Not likely. I'm gonna have to move if I want better internet.
 
@DaveMcClelland Can I beg a favor from you?

@Lazers Dupe, yes?
 
@QAvenDreamer Lolololololololol
 
11:19 PM
how do bounties work btw?
 
@fbueckert Already got it. ;)
 
@QAvenDreamer Good! Was going to look for it, but you had already closed it.

Q: Are there any PS3 Trophies for Soul Calibur IV?

gameaddictI saw that there are PS3 trophies for Soul Calibur V, but I would like to know if there are any for IV, and if so, what are they?

Q: If I were to mod my PS3 (firmware) would it allow me to send invites or messages to more than just 12 players?

gameaddictSometimes when inviting friends to matches it is annoying because I have to invite like 5 or 6 times to invite everyone. Also, are there any downsides to modding my PS3 firmware?

 
@Lazers Do we close this?
 
11:55 PM
I don't think so, although the answer is transparently obvious - don't do it, if you even could do it
 
@GnomeSlice Yes. It's not really answerable.

Why the downvote on this one?
I guess it's not a terribly good question.
 
@GnomeSlice Isn't this like, two second Google-able?
 
@YiJiang Yeah, I suppose.
 
Actually, I take that back. A casual search doesn't reveal anything obviously authoritative
