The Bridge

I think it would be a mistake to attempt to take the usage of the English language in here as representative of how English should be used. Chariots chariots.

I play some games. I play games some. Two different meanings, pretty clear.

8:18 PM

WHOOOO!!! I got my sexy new mouse today! YAY!

user15026

@spugsley Yaaaaaay

tiddy

What do you mean, sexy?

Didn't know computer mice came with mustaches now.....this changes EVERYTHING

I....I need to get to newegg right now

ickleislands

cyborg rats are sexy

fbueckert

@tiddy If mustaches were the epitome of sexy, I should be beating women off with a bat.

I stopped shaving for three months in the winter. The beard I grew was epic.

tiddy

You're not sexy unless it looks like that

fbueckert

8:27 PM

@tiddy Oh, sure, NOW you qualify your statement. :P

tiddy

Well in my defense that should be the first image the word "mustache" invokes in all people

fbueckert

@tiddy I don't even know who that is.

tiddy

Magnum PI : Tom Selleck

agent86

:O

David B

I <3 my blue track mouse. ideal for the cat hair situation I'm in. no mustache tho

agent86

8:29 PM

how can you not instantly recognize that man and his stache?

fbueckert

@agent86 Sheltered upbringing. VERY sheltered upbringing.

tiddy

Are you over the age of 25

fbueckert

Yes

tiddy

You should be ASHAMED

fbueckert

@tiddy Actually, I should be headed home!

David B

8:31 PM

well, uh, you might want to up that to 35

tiddy

Me too in 30 minutes

I was born in 84 and the re-runs aired well into my formative years

David B

I'm 34 and barely aware of magnum PI

tiddy

I think it ended in....88? But Selleck is a staple of American culture

David B

you could have been watching seinfeld

agent86

@fbueckert yeah, same here, actually.

tiddy

8:38 PM

Uh, I have the entire 9 season run memorized

I've seen each episode probably 10 times

This goes for Arrested Development and Venture Bros as well

user15026

I love Arrested Development.

tiddy

I'm being completely honest, I judge people on whether they like it or not

Might be wrong

But it generally works out for me

Q: When do you get upgrades for the Promotional weapons?

Regarding the promotional weapons in Mass Effect 3 multi-player (Collector Rifle, N7 Valiant, N7 Crusader, N7 Eagle, N7 Hurricane), where do you get the level-ups for them? The weapons themselves I believe only drop in the promo packs for winning weekend challenges (correct me if I'm wrong). Bu...

Q: What happened to diablo 3?

Apparently they changed SOMETHING about the visuals in patch 1.03. Something huge, as everything on my screen has become considerably clearer and easier to see. Has anyone else noticed this change? What exactly was changed to cause this improve in visuals without loss of framerate? (I should als...

diablo-3

ickleislands

Wow... Mission Impossible 4 was a waste of my time

tiddy

Haven't seen it yet. Still plan to

GnomeSlice

8:55 PM

Men in Black III was amazing.

tiddy

I think the best quote I read about MIB3 was that "It is better than it should be"

GnomeSlice

@tiddy It is, really. It was fantastic.

tiddy

Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves

I love James Brolin but I can get him in a much better movie like No Country

ickleislands

@GnomeSlice first one was better, didn't really think the third was that great myself though. It's just a little better than all the other crap that gets released these days

That does unfortunately make it the best movie I've watched this year though, in fairness

James

@ickleislands Dont be hating on Avengers!

fbueckert

9:09 PM

Bloody...apparently 1.03 resets all your user options.

ickleislands

@James Haven't seen a decent copy of it. Can't form a proper opinion until then. Story felt a bit weak though... so was the MIB one though in fairness

user15026

@James That is the cutest thing I have ever seen.

James

@ickleislands ROFL.. I can just see your movie reviews 'Well the quality of this taping was crap so the movie sucked' :D

@AshleyNunn I thought it worth sharing :D

ickleislands

@James read what I said, especially the 'can't form an opinion' bit

you just look like an ass otherwise

James

@ickleislands I focused on the havent seen a decent copy of it part :)

Maybe I should have said Rip instead of Taping.. but I am old school :D

ickleislands

9:13 PM

Someone who isn't me had the copy

I don't do anything illegal

;)

Except smoke various plants

depending on geographic location

James

I swear to god officer, this isnt my cocaine :P

Yeah huh :)

ickleislands

but I'm quitting smoking cigarettes

5 days without one now

so I can tell you that I hate everybody and everything at the moment

fbueckert

Yup. This patch reverted your settings.

ickleislands

I dislike patches that revert settings

James

@ickleislands Gratz. Hope it sticks, as long as that is what you want.

ickleislands

9:17 PM

It's only the cigarettes I want to stop, I'm having no problems at all with it, I have noted I'm pretty short tempered and agitated atm though

getting bored of choking up sludge already though

Can't believe I have another 3-7 weeks of it

ok what did I just click to break the layout like that

Wipqozn

@spugsley Yes.

spugsley

@Wipqozn booo :(

Wipqozn

@spugsley It was quite awesome.

spugsley

@Wipqozn :/

Mad Scientist

@ickleislands That's the mobile site

ickleislands

9:26 PM

@MadScientist ty

Mad Scientist

There should be a link in the footer to get back to the full site

ickleislands

ye i knew what it was the second you said it

that's what I get for randomly clicking stuff

Brian Colvin

Hooray! I just noticed the popup(Consider leaving a comment) now when you downvote questions.

(I don't downvote much so this may not be new) Good job whomever added that :)

Resorath

@BrianColvin I ignore that 100% of the time when voting on meta.stackoverflow.

Jin

who's ragequit diablo3?

ickleislands

9:37 PM

@Jin why would you ragequit d3?

Jin

i'm not

but there are a lot of sad QQers on the forum..

my DH lost 3k dmg due to ias nerf, not too bad. but my wizard lost 20k

ickleislands

Yes but it's a Blizzard game, that's what their forums look like

goes and looks what bacteria are breeding on eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum today

Brian Colvin

I quit d3 cause its boring

Mad Scientist

@ickleislands If you're using to SE looking at Gaming forums is really painful, it's hard to find any useful stuff among all the whining (even if it's somewhat justified in some cases)

Brian Colvin

not because of any ragequitting

Wipqozn

9:39 PM

@Jin How so?

I wasn't aware the nerfed the damage of any DH skills.

ickleislands

@MadScientist before I tripped over google and fell onto SE I used to forum whore the WoW forums.

@MadScientist I haven't logged into a Blizzard forum since

Jin

@Wipqozn they nerfed the values of increased attack speed on weapon 'n armour. so if my gloves had +15 ias before, now it's +5.

less attack speed = less dps.

Resorath

@Jin *8%

Brian Colvin

@Resorath Its fine that you ignore it, but the fact that the reminder is there makes me happy

Resorath

50% across the board

Wipqozn

9:40 PM

@Jin ah right, yeah I seen that.

50% seems a little extreme.

QAdp

> - Added warning message for users on XP SP1 or lower, support will be dropped August 31th 2012.

Jin

luckily I never stacked heavily on ias on my DH. i only went for crit% and crit dmg.

QAdp

who the hell uses XP SP1 or lower

Jin

but my wiz.. he's all ias

Mad Scientist

I did exchange one of my attack speed items against crit chance, so I shouldn't be hit too hard once the patch lands

Resorath

9:40 PM

Monsters HP went down too. The real loser here is the Monk, spirit generation took a huge hit.

Wipqozn

@QAdp The same people that use IE6

QAdp

I mean, I can't understand who uses XP - but people on XP without XP3?

Jin

also Nether Tentacles got nerfed. I saw that coming. It was so OP before

QAdp

they need their fucking computer license burned

ickleislands

@MadScientist case in point, check this thread: eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4735474331

"Blizzard is crossing the line" is the title

Brian Colvin

9:41 PM

xp w/o sp1 is a security liability

err with*

ickleislands

the thread is about them adding a FoS for buying MoP CE

"If this comes to pass I will never buy another Blizzard game again"

Jin

did anyone else watch Kripp beating Inferno Diablo in Hardcore mode lastnight? It was fun

now I understand people who love sports..

QAdp

@BrianColvin Windows XP is a security liability anyway

Resorath

@ickleislands True story: They have been doing this since WoW/Sc2

ickleislands

@Resorath I know I know, it's just so funny to see such self-entitled crybabies act like they're mentally younger than I

Resorath

9:43 PM

reddit.com/r/diablo is where I go for a Diablo forum. Reddit really just is Stack Exchange in forum mode.

(or the inverse, whatever comparison you prefer)

Jin

@Resorath that's where I go too. /r/diablo3 is also fun, but mostly for meme pics.

ickleislands

My favourite thing about the Diablo 3 forums

is that Diablo 2 veterans have no issue with mocking WoW players

Resorath

@Jin Ya I'm a huge fan of the "no meme" policy on /r/diablo

Brian Colvin

@QAdp that and XP slows down gaming if you have more than 4gb memory

ickleislands

and band together in the pursuit of doing so

Jin

9:44 PM

@Resorath GLORIOUS!

Alok

@ickleislands Yeah its fun to watch, but sometimes it becomes a knee jerk reaction though

Resorath

:/

Alok

I suggest that a wipe would be better before RMAH opens, and get 'lol go back to WoW'

<--- hasn't even tried the wow free trial yet

Mad Scientist

@Jin Memes are the literal and figurative foe of Stack Exchange

ickleislands

so many people whining about the new repair costs

Jin

9:46 PM

@Alok I feel bad for people who spent real cash on ias gear on RMAH before the patch...

ickleislands

no doubt I will have twice as many people messaging me on skype to borrow gold as before -.-

Alok

@Jin Don't; because IAS nerf was known before RMAH went live

Jin

@Alok but not everyone reads the forum to keep up with D3 news though

Alok

I searched high & low after reading that DH caltrops was nerfed - but its same except for 3+DH lol

ickleislands

@Jin absolutely, they knew, it was well advertised, it's why I sold all my IAS for real money

Jin

9:47 PM

but then again, those who wanted to stack ias are probably above average gamers, who'd read the forum..

Brian Colvin

So I wonder how fast the cost of items on the RMAH will decline over the next month

ickleislands

@Alok realistically, 1-2 DH will never be able to drop 10+ caltrops and maintain uptime on them

Alok

ehh it was mentioned a lot - and aren't these people spending real money on virtual goods that are reasonably expected to change utility over time

agent86

@Resorath I should really get in on this reddit business.

Wipqozn

@agent86 I've had the same thought from time to time.

ickleislands

9:48 PM

@Jin people who were full out stacking IAS would have been aware, it's their own problem, if they let themselves get exploited it's not something I care about

Alok

@BrianColvin I'm wondering more if cost of brimstone will rise as blues have less chance to salvage into one

Resorath

@agent86 I just assumed everyone is on it. "Front page of the internet" is their tagline.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Yay 1k rep on ELU

ickleislands

@Alok hope so, got loads

Jin

@agent86 Y U NO REDDIT?

ickleislands

9:49 PM

@Resorath never been on reddit :p

Alok

Think LessPop or fbueckert sold some IAS gloves for 1.5m just yest. hehe

Wipqozn

@Jin I think @agent86 neglects his kids enough without reddit.

ickleislands

Once my Blizzard Balance updates it will be over 110

apologies to anybody who may have bought IAS gear off me

no refunds though

Jin

my fav subreddit: reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/top

Alok

@ickleislands So ur using RMAH? do you need to type in auth code every single time? :(

ickleislands

9:50 PM

nope

agent86

@Jin there are some people there who are not big fans of me, let's say.

ickleislands

I just use it exactly the same as the gold AH

click item > enter price > click ok

Resorath

@Jin reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting

Brian Colvin

I don't really get the reason for using real money on d3 gear, lets say I buy the best gear in d3.. then what? I use it to farm gear to sell to make my money back?

Jin

@agent86 there are people on the interweb who don't like you? no way!

ickleislands

9:51 PM

@BrianColvin yes

@BrianColvin I refuse to spend money on the RMAH though

agent86

@Jin inorite?

Brian Colvin

@ickleislands Its probably for the best as the only thing to do in d3 atm is farm gear, so you're bound to get the gear you could buy anyway

Jin

D3 is my poorman's WoW..

ickleislands

lol eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4735474945

Resorath

Jin

9:52 PM

I'm forbidden to play WoW, or any other MMOs

ickleislands

That thread is epic

Alok

I meant, use auth code every time to login to D3 ... I'm lazy and haven't enabled that yet

Resorath

wow wild bananas look disgusting. Thank god for ELI5

ickleislands

"Protect our rights as consumers, Blizzard can't nerf items we've bought with real money!"

Alok

besides, I am too poor so if a hacker gets in; he might leave me more funds out of pity

agent86

9:52 PM

@Jin yeah, I forbid myself.

ickleislands

"For example, i have spent around 300 euros for items with attack speed and now they are gonna change properties of items i have paid real money for in less than a week? Really?"

rolling. on. the. floor. LAUGHING

Jin

"Riots don't start with educated people."

ickleislands

@Alok does your IP keep changing?

Brian Colvin

I sense a class action coming on!

ickleislands

@Alok authenticator prompts for code under three circumstances; a) new IP, b) week since you last entered, c) you set the 'ask each time I log in' option to TRUE on battle.net

@Jin I love that, I also love how everybody in the thread is like "lol read terms of service /thread"

"Spending real money to get ahead in a world that doesn't really exist, has it's consequences."

Alok

9:56 PM

@ickleislands Oh, thanks - didn't know that; might sign up now and sell my POS junk for $5 or something

GnomeSlice

world-generation is a bad tag

ickleislands

I just list everything for 5

some legendaries for 7-8

Alok

or I should list crappy mid-level legendaries for $250, maybe some rich idiot will click on them by mistake

ickleislands

at the end of the day, it is pixels

some people will go nuts and try to sell them for max and have a 1% success rate maybe

i've sold 80% of the items i've listed

Jin

@ickleislands you're a pixel

ickleislands

9:57 PM

ironically, pixel is my name on another website

Alok

Well I read that first day there were lots of 1k+ dps weapons selling for $250 O_o

ickleislands

@alok listed != selling

Alok

yes, I meant 'selling'

Jin

@ickleislands you're 32x32 = 1024 pixels to me.

ickleislands

then those people are idiotic on a whole new level

Alok

9:58 PM

Exactly - and I was kicking myself for, well, actually trying to enjoy the game

GnomeSlice

@Jin What's this about you sending us/me the vectors for the heart?

Jin

i think general forum is the worst, class specific ones aren't too bad.

Alok

should've rushed thru and farmed content with exploits earlier; plenty of time to look at the sights later

ickleislands

@jin 100% agree, same with WoW

Jin

@GnomeSlice can u send me your email to jin@stackexchange.com ? i'll send u the vector

Alok

9:58 PM

Now I know what to do for future such games lol

ickleislands

@Alok I didn't even know what was going on until I got to inferno and stopped skipping cutscenes and conversations

spugsley

HOLY FUCKING BALLS

It just cost me fucking 22,900 gold to repair my shit!

wtf Diablo!?!?!?

ickleislands

@spugsley new repair bill in action

Jin

@spugsley from fully broken?

Alok

@Jin I really wish Suggestions was a seperate forum; only thing I like to read in General

Resorath

9:59 PM

@spugsley Ya, I'm going broke. I only have 0.6m in my name

ickleislands

@spugsley I repaired all of my gear last night :p

GnomeSlice

@Jin Done. Cool. =]

spugsley

@Jin negative

ickleislands

@Jin forums say a full 100% repair is about 60k

Alok

@ickleislands lmao I went through normal on a wizard; religiously soloing everything - took ages w/ crap equipment too
