@QAveMcClelland It has a nice park?
 
@YiJiang which version?
 
@OrigamiRobot A damn nice park. Actually, I'm not entirely sure what park they're referring to. My parents never really let me go over there, thankfully
 
> The unwanted love-child of a brief fling between Gary, IN, and a rural village in Sicily.
 
Hmm, 1997 Final Cut it says here in the description
 
This rings true.
 
3:03 AM
@YiJiang But I thought Captain Blood was pretty good. D:
 
Anyone here watch/read the world god only knows before?
 
@Ktash Aye.
 
I think for me, it's mostly the other way around.
 
@QAzer Any good?

Q: How to install the Steam version of DC Universe Online using the DCUO install CD's?

Paul WilliamsI recently had to reinstall everything on my computer due to system and hardware failure. What I would like to do is to install the DC Universe Online game on Steam. However, when I use the DVD's that are included with it, I cannot use or access the in-game overlay. I've done this with other gam...

Q: BF3 or MoH:W, which one should I choose?

Eric GagnonI'm really confused with EA's strategy to update their current shooting franchise and to release a new game for another. I REALLY enjoyed MoH (especially the single player which remains the best one I've played in a shooter for a while) and I play BF3 every now and then. But now with the simulta...

Q: "Hotdogging" achievement, what are the parameters?

Michael CampbellThe achievement in question is to summon 3 zombie dogs at once, without using the summon zombie dog skill. I tried using "Circle of Life", which took a while, but when I finally got 3 dogs, no achievment. I did not even have Summon Zombie dogs on my bars... I would like to know if anyone knows ...

Q: How can I unlock DLC-specific magicks in Adventure?

kotekzotThe spells introduced by The Stars are Left are pretty neat, can I enable them in the original campaign? I'm fine with a lil bit of modding and save editing, as long as it does not break online play. I'm running the latest version (1.4.6.5) for the PC.

 
3:05 AM
@Ktash Which one specifically? The animu or the mango?
 
mmm, mango.
 
@QAzer Both/either. If one is good and the other is not, I'll go with that
If both are, probably go with mango
 
anyone else see Indie Game: The Movie yet?
 
@QAtash It's pretty enjoyable but I like the mango a bit better :p
@NickT I thought it was very nicely done
 
This is so weird. Any time I select any option in a dropdown menu, of anything on my computer, that option stays stuck on the screen, until I toggle the screen resolution...
 
3:10 AM
@QAzer Alright I may give it a go then
been looking for a new manga to read
 
Meh, name won't update
 
@QAtash do you have any genre preferences?
@NickT take a bit of time I think
 
@QAzer Not a lot. Don't read horror, but comedy/action/etc I'm usually pretty open to
Looking to replace Negima (which tore my heart out and stomped on it)
probably should read Gantz finally
 
@QAtash what about Berserk or Hunter x Hunter?
 
ffs, how do you use a controller with Braid
 
3:15 AM
@QAzer Haha, reading the first line of summary on Hunter X Hunter reminds me of negima... gotta get away from that for a little while so I don't kill something ;)
Berserk just an action manga?
 
@QAtash Kinda like Gantz in medieval times.
 
@QAzer I see
Also, been going since '90? Wow
that's a long manga
 
@QAtash HxH is from the same guy as Yu Yu Hakuso
 
@QAzer Oooh, I liked Yu Yu
Man... all the manga's I don't read go on forever
 
@QAtash Very similar, very enjoyable, yet different at the same time. Worth a look... currently on hiatus... again.
@QAtash You don't have to read it all, just the ones you like :P
 
3:21 AM
@NickT ...How don't you? Can you even get it on PC?
 
@QAtash If you haven't check out the Nausicaa series. It's drawn by Miyazaki himself.
 
@QAzer Wasn't a fan of Nausicaa... it's probably my least favorite Miyazaki
which still means it's good in my book, just wasn't my favorite
 
@GnomeSlice I have it for the PC and Mac
@QAtash Have you looked at 20/21th Century Boys?
 
grr
how do you obliterate all settings/saves etc for a Steam Game...I'm wondering if it has some strange configuration from my previous install (I keep steam on another hardrive and just copy it whenever formatting)
 
@QAzer ... is Chris Hansen going to pop out somewhere?
 
3:26 AM
WTF!? What happened to my Act 3 Inferno!?
 
@NickT Right click on the game in your library, and do 'delete local content'.
 
doesn't that just remove the game files; not the saves/configs/etc?
 
@NickT ...Are those not game files?
I would assume deleting 'local content' would delete everything not just the files the game needs to run.
 
@QAtash Spoiler: No.
 
It'll make you have a technical jargon orgasm
 
3:31 AM
ahem
 
"real-time dynamic global illuminiation and glossy specular reflections!" "fully deferred renderer!" "changes the diffuse and normals!"
 
@QAtash If you follow FMP, Sigma comes next.
 
I wonder what GPU he's using
 
din't this room have a heart or something as the icon?
 
Over 1 million particles shown in 1 scene w/ UE4

Q: How long is Assassins Creed Brotherhood compared to 2?

Mark HendersonSo, every time I thought Assassins Creed II was going to end, it just kept going to epic proportions. I'm currently waiting for Steam to download Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, and I'm wondering if I should expect a similarly-long main story line, or is it shorter/longer?

Q: Introducing Arqade!

JinWe recently have put a lot of effort in coming up with a unique brand name for this community. As you know, naming is hard! After numerous brain storming sessions, we found a great name(and was able to obtain the domain name). It was suggested in a community chat session, and "Arqade" was chosen....

@GnomeSlice "content" refers to what the game uses to run
 
@NickT I know the UE3 Samaritan demo was "optimized" to run on a single 680GTX without losing performance or quality fidelity, probably something similar in this case, too
 
@QAzer I really want to read the books (the source material) but there aren't any translations :(
 
@NickT I thought 'content' referred to the stuff IN the game.
 
well, only for like the first 2
 
3:37 AM
@GnomeSlice that's not how Steam uses the word
 
@NickT This is actually pretty sexy.
 
@NickT Well, then Steam is dumb.
 
@QAtash Sigma is the most recent mango version of the light novel and is being currently being scanlated (albiet slowly)
 
@GnomeSlice This is what I thought too... Downloadable content adds content to the game... >.>
 
up close the logo looks nice.. :D...
 
3:46 AM
@QAzer Yeah, I think I saw stuff trickling in a while back. I'll probably dive in after it finishes. TSR remains one of my favorite animes
 
@ShyamK It's a vector.
Well, on the site it isn't.
 
@QAtash There have been some translations, like for the last 2 volumes and side/short stories.
 
@QAzer Yeah, I've got translations of books 1, 4, 6, 7 and a few others (shorts I think)
but they are hard to come by
(Also, thanks, I don't think I have those ones yet :) )
 
What a shitty attempt.
Let's try something else.
 
Hmmm. Not sure what I think about the mobile version of the Arqade chat color scheme.
 
3:54 AM
@QAtash I really liked the series, I'm really surprised they don't do digital subscriptions/releases of the light novels.
@GnomeSlice Which reminds me I need to play more AirMech.
 
@QAzer Yes.
 
@QAzer I am too, but apparently they didn't sell well while they were being translated, so...
 
@QAtash you can't sell what you don't advertise
 
@QAzer Truth. I once heard a good quote. "Anyone who can't make money off of Sports Night should get out of the money-making business."
 
MUCH BETTER.
 
4:03 AM
the favicon at gaming.stackexchange.com is still the pixelated heart... I miss the heart :'(
@GnomeSlice drool
 
None of the pilots in the media kit had straight, vertical poses except Natasha.
BOOBS AWEIGH.
 
I just wanna say thank you to anyone who didn't put QA in their name.
 
Mine's not updating
oh wait, there it goes
 
@Fluttershy tips hat
 
@NiQAlasT welcome to the QAlub.
 
4:10 AM
@Fluttershy At least it's not a Derpony
 
@NiQAlasT Nothing wrong with pony gravatars.
G'night Bridge!
 
@Fluttershy No problem. I suppose I could have gone with skovQAcs1 or something, but I wouldn't even know where to begin trying to pronounce that. Maybe skQvAcs1? I don't know. I'm too straight-laced and boring to do that anyways.
 
Everyone could use an emotional support horse.
 
@Fluttershy We, the few, the sane.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Good night!
 
user15026
4:12 AM
@NiQAlasT ....I was Derpy for a while.
 
@TimStone Sanity is a relative state for melee classes in Inferno Act 2 onwards.
 
Hahah
 
@TimStone I managed to solo Belial. That was freaking hard.
 
@fbueckert I think any and all quality assessments are relativistic, sanity included.
 
@fbueckert Nice! I'm still struggling with the first half; I got past Maghda, but not much further yet. I can usually avoid getting one-shotted now, but getting hit still takes out a pretty large chunk of health.
 
4:25 AM
@AshleyNunn You sure you're not just posting these pocket clothier questions for me to farm rep? :P
@TimStone Yeah. Damage is crazy spikey. It's annoying.
 
Just gotta hold out for that patch, heh
 
@TimStone I'm stubborn.
 
That and cross my fingers and hope that I stop running into Reflects Damage enemies with other annoying stuff.
 
I've proven I can kill Belial myself.
But with one of the latest patches, without completing all of the current act, it doesn't let you into the next act after you leave your game.
 
Hmm...now I'm tempted to play some more, but I should probably write some code or something...decisions, decisions.
 
4:31 AM
@TimStone subcontract and QC it ;p
 
Of course, I could just be hallucinating due to the massive amount of brick wall I've been running into lately. :P

Q: How do I get Braid to recognize my X360 controller?

NiQAlas TSupposedly Braid has support for the X360 controller (as it's an XBLA port), but it refuses to recognize mine. The controller shows up among my Devices & Printers, and works perfectly in Super Meat Boy, but Braid is totally oblivious.

 
@fbueckert hope that wall isn't also Arcane Enchanted, too...
 
@QAzer Oh, several of them.
I ran into some Fire Chains Plagued Illusionist Desecrator bees earlier. That was fun.
 
@fbueckert I ran into Arcane/molten/Invulnerable Minions/Waller as melee once... gawd awful.
 
4:37 AM
@QAzer Yuck.
One of my first introductions to Inferno was an Arcane Enchanted Vortex Grotesque champion pack.
runs away to get out of range of sentry. Grotesque vortexs me right on top of sentry.
 
@fbueckert I would never want to see extra fast/fire chain/molten/jailer on a desert hornet D:
 
@QAzer Frakkin bees
Champion bees anything are ragequit worthy.
 
(from earlier) Not quite that, but... |:
 
@TimStone Ugh.
At least they use Vortex rarely.
 
Yeah, heavy-hitting melee vortext with molten and/or arcane enchanted is typically much worse for me.
 
4:47 AM
Fallen Masters with Knockback Mortar Reflects Damage Teleporter.
Pushovers.
 
I respawned once and was immediately pulled into a pit of molten fire, insta-killing me, heh. :D
 
illusion, fast, molten, +1 is instant rape on just about anything
 
@TimStone Pulled as in "zerging champions, and not noticing where you're stepping"? :P
 
Hahah, I wouldn't put it quite that way ;)
To be fair, I didn't even have a second to move after I respawned, I was immediately vortexed.
 
Shielding Reflects Damage Plagued Frozen bees.
 
4:54 AM
@fbueckert you know those big boomer things that explode and spawn stuff? imagine horde, illusion, molten, waller in a narrow hallway.
 
@QAzer Meh. The only one of those I'd be worried about is molten.
But for a ranged unit, waller and anything is killer.
 
@fbueckert horde and illusionist make molten and waller much much much much worse
 
jailer + fire chains is rape
 
@QAzer In a narrow hallway, they can't bring their numbers to bear.
 
or jailer + arcane enchanted unless you're in a very open area
 
5:01 AM
@fbueckert with horde the minions pick up the elite mob's attributes and with illusionist that's even more of them (and even more pools of death). It's a lot worse than it sounds
 
Well, it's bedtime for me.
G'night!
 
@fbueckert sweet dreams, don't even think about fast molten waller bees
 
5:21 AM
@fbueckert G'night.. sleep tight.. don't let the bees bed bugs bite :)
 
I'm done, no more.
What a waste of an hour and a half. This thing is terrible.
 
@GnomeSlice What is this...? I don't even...
 
Guy wants a graphic for the little alien that links to reddit.
He's just using the lunchbox from the game, right now.
What a goddamn waste of time.

Q: Where does each item level and affix drop?

NattieI understand that item level determines where an item can drop (act/difficulty) and what affixes it can have, but I am having trouble finding information that clearly states the following: The earliest act/difficulty where you can find each item level, and The item levels for each range of each...

 
What a goddamn waste of time.
 
5:33 AM
@GnomeSlice why not do the reddit alien face only in a similar style to what the devs did with chrome?
 
@QAzer Never saw it.
This actually looks terrible.
I'm not even kidding.
THIS one even looks better...
x_x
 
@GnomeSlice lol
 
Well, it does.
This one is too wide.
 
@GnomeSlice this gives me an idea... hmm brb
 
5:51 AM
haha.. and they all follow suit..
its like monkeys being taught a new trick.
:D
 
6:02 AM
> Last I checked 1 tf2 key=$1.4 and 1 refined=$0.55, so if one of your items is worth 4 keys you can trade it for a $5 game or so. In case you have them, OSX Earbuds are about $30 and Bill's hat about $12
Wow, that's kind of expansive for a pair of earbuds that all OS X users get for free
Oh and Blade Runner was, well, interesting, hmmm

Q: Can I access the locked house that can appear in the Southern Highlands?

OakToday I've encountered a building in the Southern Highlands that looks like it should be accessible, but I did not find any way to do that. It has two doors, both can't be interacted with or destroyed. Is there a way to enter the structure, or is it just some pretty background object? Here's how...

 
@GnomeSlice I was thinking something like this:
Osprey reddit alien
 
6:47 AM
@QAzer Megatron ?? lol
or maybe an Autobot
??
 
 
@QAzer who is that? saw the pics earlier.. but just reminds me of some toys I used to play with when I was young
 
If you're interested, I have steam beta key that I can offer you.
 
7:05 AM
thanks but no thanks..
:D
 
7:17 AM
I miss those times
where I could just do what I want , when I want.. no care all joy
humph
 
7:28 AM
@ShyamK you can reclaim those lost times, it's closer to you than you realize... ;)
 
@QAzer seriously?? how?
 
@ShyamK Take a day or day off and forget about everything. You have the touch, you've got the POWER!
 
7:44 AM
@QAzer lol..
why was this room named 'The Bridge' in the first place?
 
I'm sure it was the briqade lastnight
it could just have been how stoned I was though
 
I'm just asking cos I like knowing why things have the name that they do..
:D
 
The bridge of the ship
the command deck so to speak
 
@ShyamK The Bridge is where all the action happens a spaceship.
 
and yeah it was the BriQAde for a bit
 
7:57 AM
Hasn't Star Trek not taught you that?
 
But I think we complained enough to get it back to The Bridge :D
 
no the bridge is where all the action happens on a spaceship within the confines of TV
off camera all the action happens elsewhere
 
@QAzer That bridge.. I was thinking on the lines of cross the river bridge
 
the big scene in any startrek movie never happens on the bridge
 
the other def never really occurred to me
must be high on something
damn.. just can't remember
 
8:02 AM
@ickleislands speaking of which, odd numbered star trek movies suck. It's like a curse.
 
Except startrek 11
which I liked a lot
you know what
that bugged the crap out of me the whole way through watching the movie
 
@ickleislands it's still up in the air
 
in Avengers Assemble
the guy who plays Thor is the guy who played Thor in Thor
and the guy who played Loki played Loki in Thor
 
@ickleislands lolwut?
 
the actors in question ^
played the same roles in two movies
 
8:06 AM
@ickleislands same about captain america, iron man..
so duh....
 
yeah but did they sign on the same group of actors for multiple movies?
 
@ickleislands and your question is?
 
I had no question
the fact you asked means you didn't read anything I said
but gj none the less
 
@ickleislands yes
I am pretty sure there will be Avengers 2 and we know Thor 2 with the Thor and Loki guy is coming soonish
and Robert Downy Jr is getting a TON of money off his movies :D
 
ironically, if you look at the guy who plays loki's "full bio" on imdb
he says "I am very proud of my work for the BBC, but I never wanted to stay stuck in the past. Loki has set me free from a particular casting type. But the work is the same. Rigor, discipline, humility, punctuality, above all: truthfulness. [CNN.com, 9 May 2012]"
so he went from being stuck in one casting type to becoming loki for X amount of movies
 
8:12 AM
@ickleislands he said in an interview that he has a deal for five more movies
and Samuel L. Jackson too if I remember correctly
 
Is that 5 more movies starting @ Avengers or from an earlier point in time
 
it should be 5 more AFTER Avengers
 
that is one hell of a contract
 
at that point I think it's more "who cares about typecasting, I'm making MILLIONS!"
 
No doubt people who were fans of Marvel comics have a dislike of the movies
but I'm pretty much a full decade or two too young to have any exposure to any of these series
so they're just movies to me
 
8:17 AM
@ickleislands I know many Marvel fans that loved the Avengers movie
 
It wasn't until the Hulk appeared in the avengers movie that I worked out they were multiple seperate franchises going on
even with the liberal mentions of dr banner throughout the first half of the movie
 
Loki looks a lot more of a man in the movie
looks like a dead zombie on imbd
 
yeah
in fact the actor that plays him actually looks very little like he does in the movie at all
I guess for more context I should go and watch every iron man/hulk/etc movie ever

Q: Surviving Inferno Spiderlings in Act 1

ValadilAs a Wizard in Act 1 Inferno, I haven't really had any issues progressing so far, until tonight - when I hit the cave of the spider queen. Everything dies pretty easily, but the damn spiderlings just jump outa nowhere and one-shot me. Is there any way to anticipate when they are going to jump o...

 
8:36 AM
what other movies are good
 
@ickleislands the first Iron Man movie is good
 
@Kappei ta already completely legitimately grabbing myself a copy of that
 
also: don't make the mistake of watching Ang Lee's Hulk
 
well there doesn't appear to be another hulk movie with Mark Ruffalo as the hulk
 
8:55 AM
@ickleislands no, he came as Ed Norton's replacement

Q: Average Frame rate

ValamasI am configuring the graphics in F1 2011. It has a benchmark mode where the computer drives the car around on those graphics settings and gives an average result. The first time I achieved 30 frames a second. The screen seemed fine for me while i was watching. I reduced some graphics from Ultr...

 
9:08 AM
@Kappei Ang Lee's Hulk.. how does its go about?
 
@ShyamK more than a superhero movie, it's a drama about a young scientist and his psychotic father
a psychotic father that somehow manages to get godlike powers
only to be defeated by being puched by Hulk
 
electro dad.. is that the one.. they finally go supernova.. green cloud of dust.. POOF!!
 
oh ed norton was in fight club
 
@ShyamK yeah, that one... dumb, right?
 
@ickleislands ya.. apparently he was brad pitt too..
 
9:18 AM
oh no they're making another bourne movie
-.-
 
@Kappei dumb? is that all it is? gawd.. hulk dogs.. super powered dad.. gawd awful film
Another one.. wasn't the third supposed to be the last one?
 
@ShyamK this one won't have Matt Damon in it
 
it's called the bourne legacy
 
Bourne without Matt Damon?? that's gonna be a bummer
 
and according to IMDB it doesn't have Matt Damon
how the hell do you have a bourne movie without bourne?
 
9:20 AM
I kinda fixed him in that role.. Bourne = Damon
 
not that any of the previous instalments classified as anything other than coma inducing
 
@ickleislands exactly
 
I have a joke for everybody: Megan Fox has talent
bbl :)
 
lol
she got a surgery to look better
she was in some soap b4.. dint look so gr8 then
got a nose job I think..
 
looked more attractive before the surgery
should get a refund
 
9:32 AM
yep.. was cuter then
 
plus the bulk of her image is carried by her hair, guess she missed that
 
ya
I liked her in transformers though.. especially when she looked under bumble bee's hood
hawt
guess it was the camera effects and all
I wonder which soap she was on
full house maybe??
Hope & Faith that was it
used to watch that just to see her :D
any other good movies out?
heard that Prometheus is a load of bollocks
 
The completely legitimate copy of Prometheus I got was recorded in the back of a cinema and didn't have good sound
at least I was told it was completely legitimate
 
FAE
@ShyamK I very much enjoyed it, personally
 
9:48 AM
@ShyamK pretty much anybody in the world can look amazing with the correct camera angle
@ShyamK especially since the scene you are talking about was most likely influenced by the waist and body position
 
FAE
Don't go in expecting an Alien type thriller. It's a pretty weighty film with a lot of layers and motifs. Really fantastic cinematography and pretty much worth seeing it on the big screen for that alone. It gets a big plus for direction and overall theme, minus points for character stupidity. So it depends on what you like.
 
plus she had an enviable level of tanning, but I'd expect nothing less from somebody who lives in LA
@FAE what I'd like is a ground breakingly original piece of IP that has a level of quality that you can watch the movie multiple times back to back
and the last time that happened was the first and only Matrix movie
 
FAE
@ickleislands Well, it's not an original IP, but from what I've heard, the film definitely benefits from repeat viewings, though I've only seen it once so far.
 
although I watched that about 5 years after everybody else
 
FAE
@ickleislands lol
 
9:52 AM
hey it's no laughing matter, I was like 6 when it came out
 
@ickleislands :D .. yep.. thats the one..
 
10:08 AM
You just can't play TBoI for more than two tries in a row
sigh
 
Huh, RMAH is live now
 
just lost a very promising Isaac in basement 2 and... meh
@LessPop_MoreFizz Questioning and Answering Department of Police?
 
Which other characters have you unlocked?
 
this is a new save file so I only have Isaac
@UQAllulloo Did you mean... ameriQA?
 
@QAdp If this goes on my palm will be perpetually glued to my face
 
10:13 AM
@QAdp TBoI
?
 
@ShyamK The Binding of Isaac
@YiJiang I tried making another one in reply to this but qame up empty. Consider yourself lucky.
 
so much QA here
 
It's like ChristQAs!
 
Oh hey look, it's an interview with a Diablo 3 gold farmer: diablofans.com/topic/…
 
@YiJiang What people won't do for QAsh.
 
10:21 AM
@QAdp ... no. Just no.
 
@YiJiang QAlm down. Everything's just fine.
 
@QAdp make it fifteen
 
300k/bot/hour is not much
I get higher than 300k/hour while at work
 
usually I'm like "where the hell did the last 3 hours go?"
 
10:24 AM
@ickleislands Well, the article says he's running 200 bots simultaneously on both NA and EU server
 
yeah thats why I included 'per bot'
 
@ickleislands yeah, but he's got a LOT of bots too.
 
ye
I'm just saying that his farming method is flawed regardless of how many bots he's using
 
@YiJiang QAptain, that won't help your wrinkles!
 
10:27 AM
@YiJiang See that's better faceQAlming. No wrinkles.
 
has anybody here bought gold in D3?
 
@ickleislands not me
and I'd suggest to not do it
 
good because its silly to do such a thing
 
every single people I know that bought gold has had his account hacked within a month
 
omg my sandwich just fell apart and now i'm covered in cheese
 
10:32 AM
@ickleislands and you did it??
 
the only way they'd get hacked it through their own stupidity
I didn't buy gold
 
but you did think about it.. :D
 
I thought about other people buying gold
while so many people were whining on the blizzard forums about being hacked
and thought to myself
how does buying gold result in you being hacked
because SURELY you'd never give the people you're buying gold from the email address you use for your battle.net account - because that would be stupid
 
@ickleislands yeah, right... there are persons giving them also the password to login
 
Well I figured there would be a percentage of people stupid enough to buy gold using their battle.net username and password without use of an authenticator
but those people deserve what happens to them
the first link in the answer on that no longer exists
should it be edited out?
