Q: Can xbox saved games and profile on a flash drive be backed up to another flash drive?

I store my profile, saved games and even some arcade games on my USB flash drive (16GB). It makes me really nervous that this flash drive could just die one day, then I lose all my game saves. So the question is, is there any way to make a backup of this data that could later be restored onto an...

@StrixVaria Lag spikes kick everyone off every minute or so

StrixVaria

That sounds like a hardware issue on the server side, no?

MBraedley

@StrixVaria or someone is using a clock when they shouldn't.

Ronan Forman

I think we need some more ram, there's quite a few people on the server now.

OrigamiRobot

@MBraedley Minecart clocks are where it's at.

Ben Brocka

@MBraedley clocks can boot people?

Ronan Forman

12:09 AM

I'm out tomorrow, but if you see @TimStone ask him for me.

MBraedley

@BenBrocka no, but it can lag the server, and depending on what it controls, can crash the server

Ben Brocka

Only in Minecraft would a clock be able to lag a whole server

fbueckert

@SaintWacko Run around. Get big fleet. Kill everything. Get bigger fleet.

Ronan Forman

@Ben It's not just one, quite a few areas are chunk loaded.

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert Thought that said feet. Sounded like a more interesting game

fbueckert

12:12 AM

@BenBrocka I dunno; lots of lasers and missiles fly around on a regular basis.

Ronan Forman

Wait, maybe buildcraft is keeping the places where quarries were chunk loaded as they not removing the flag when destroyed.

Just a theory though.

fbueckert

Also, I am now the proud owner of a physical copy of Suikoden.

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka Me too

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert But imagine a game where your ability to kill things was relative to the size of your feet. And you had methods to obtain larger feet, to your own advantage

fbueckert

@BenBrocka I think that's what Katamari is.

You can't get by a week without someone dying or getting married here. There's too many people stuffed into too small a space

StrixVaria

Why are they burning money?

@StrixVaria Chinese tradition. People believe if you burn paper something that something will go to your dead relatives.

StrixVaria

Do you need money while you're dead?

SaintWacko

3:50 AM

@fbueckert Ffs. I came up against a far too powerful enemy, so I only deployed one ship, and ordered it to retreat. Instead it decided to charge into the enemy, and got disabled, which somehow led to two of my ships being disabled, and the rest being captured. I somehow went from two destroyers and three frigates to nothing.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Completely stupid, of course, given that Singapore incinerates tons of domestic garbage everyday

@StrixVaria Oh yes. And cars, mansions, iPhones, private jets...

Anything you can imagine, there's a paper version of it available for you to burn

StrixVaria

I can understand the idea "burning stuff is fun", at least.

I'll just attribute it to that.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

It's mostly superstition. It can be a little dangerous too. People have managed to set their house on fire by doing this before.

StrixVaria

During the aftermath of the hurricane here a few months ago, some people managed to kill themselves with carbon monoxide by running their generator in their house.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Mainly though it's just really annoying because the paper doesn't burn thoroughly, leaving a smoldering mess that releases smoke into the air for hours.

Which is totally fun for asthmatics like me

StrixVaria

I hate smoke even without asthma.

I don't even like incense or candles.

I am right there with you. Incense is terrible. Candles are okay if they aren't scented.

You won't like it here, then. Any Chinese household with people over 60 will usually have a small alter with incense burning in it

I never really got "into" Coheed and Cambria. Whenever it came on it was good, but I don't really know it very well.

I should fix that.

user15026

@wipqozn yeah. I do. Attitudes like that makes me want to throw rocks at stuff.

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy I just made a playlist of all their albums minus acoustic/alternate versions of stuff chronologically. I'll listen to it over the course of the weekend.

Fluttershy

4:12 AM

@StrixVaria Sometimes their acoustic/alternative stuff is pretty good! So keep that in mind. Also, Second Stage Turbine Blade was kinda dull in comparison to their later stuff.

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy Yeah, but I know that they tend to do concept albums that kind of have a flow, and that's a lot of what interests me about them.

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria Gotcha. Are you at all familiar with their overall concept? The Amory Wars?

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy I read about it a long time ago. I know that they did a Star Wars style thing where they didn't start at the beginning. That's why their first albums all had numbers. I don't see the "first" installment, though.

I don't remember anything about the "plot" or whatever, though.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Oh. Apparently "The Bag.On.Line Adventures of Coheed and Cambria" was the start of the comics, but the story album was released as Year of the Black Rainbow.

So that guy had an edit rejected for being too minor a change. I did some digging, and that entire tag wiki is copied content. They just changed "released" to "launched and published"...

Just keep scrolling down and witness the power of unclosed h3 tags

@BenBrocka Is that... one of your projects, to clean up the site? :P

I never even knew that was possible until today

spam edit

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@BenBrocka It's because they're using font tags, I think

Firebug tells me Firefox is interpreting h3 nested inside font tags all the way down

Ben Brocka

the h3s are definitely causing the size, the font tags aren't setting anything size related

@YiJiang'sEvilClone that's technically what it is, since they don't close any of their tags

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

No, but the I think the font tags is what's causing the wrapping, since IIRC it's okay to omit the closing tags on headings (but I can't really remember what the specs say about such atrocious HTML)

Ben Brocka

"okay" as in "the browser will guess", the combo of the two pairs of unclosed tags is probably what results in the browser not knowing when to terminate the tags

@Fluttershy Bleh. At least some of that added text is yanked straight from Wikipedia.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert It's changed quite a bit since I linked it. <_< I don't even know what's going on anymore.

Q: How can I use free bonuses?

In Hunters 2, I'm allowed to get free items every hour by clicking on ads. Sometimes I win "bonuses" such as "Bonus: 10% Dodge". Unlike all the other free stuff I win, these don't seem to be items that I can equip. How do I make use of these bonus?

fbueckert

@Fluttershy The class info is straight from Wiki. The race info, I dunno.

There's a little bit of plagiarization going on, but it's better that it's not peeled straight from Wikipedia. Question is, does the info that IS plagiarized outweigh the benefits of the original content?

Q: What model of video card does a GeForce GT 620 qualify as?

I recently got a new computer with a GeForce GT 620 video card and I'm trying to determine which games it will run. Specifically "Aliens: Colonial Marines". There's a page with a drop down menu that lets you select your card here: http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=514&game=Al...

VGHS Season 2 has hit it's goal!

Also, new rewards at the $500 dollar level if you really want to spend more money than you should lol

user15026

@ktash awesome. I loved season one.

user15026

Also, oh man those gaming chairs.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Is it sad that I overanalyse every show I watch? I finished season one of VGHS the other day. The writing and acting is kind of meh. The special effects is good and slightly overused (as you'd expect from freddiew), but what I find most interesting is the setting. I'm kind of annoyed how they don't explore that aspect more.

Ktash

5:20 AM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone That's what season 2 is supposed to be a lot about

since they had a lot more limited funding for the first, they weren't able to do as much

user15026

@ktash really? Awesome.

Ktash

but they got a lot more funding and sponsors this time around

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Near future science fiction fascinates me, not only because they're fun to read / watch, but also because it's interesting to look at how wrong many of them are :P

Ktash

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I think they're going for alternate rather than future, but I could be wrong

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Ktash Both, really. But you don't play games on holographic display now, do you? ;)

Ktash

5:21 AM

Haha, no, true

but a lot of the stuff is more modern-esque outside of the gaming stuff

Ben Brocka

@Ullallulloo Why is the cat's butthole included

@BenBrocka ... what just happened there?

@Ktash watch the video

haha, yeah, it was just a weird comment because I didn't read up when I first got in the room lol

Hey guys, for anyone here who cares (@YiJiang'sEvilClone, @Fluttershy, @AshleyNunn, @Wipqozn, anyone I forgot) the Fighting is Magic team got a cease and desist letter from Hasbro

user15026

5:26 AM

@murgatroid I saw that earlier. :(

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@murgatroid99 Yeah, saw that earlier on today. Really sad news

Fluttershy

@murgatroid99 Yeah. I'm pretty pissed about it. In part due to Hasbro's previous statement saying they'd never do stuff like that. =\

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Yesh, that's the thing. Let me see if I can find a source here, but IIRC Hasbro had definitely communicated with the developers before

murgatroid99

@Fluttershy Apparently they've been having trouble figuring out what their policy is in regards to us (the fandom in general)

Fluttershy

@murgatroid99 So it would seem...

5:28 AM

If I remember right, several cons got C&D letters because Hasbro just didn't know how to deal with so many conventions of non-target audience people

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Oh look, I managed to create a circular duplicate chain - meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/166885/… and meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/166882/… are closed as exact dupe of each other

@BenBrocka This is why her publicist is fighting to get all "non-flattering" pictures of her off the internets.

So much data... glorious... glorious... data *drools*

Oh man. So much data.

user15026

What.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

So, remember the r/mylittlepony flair graph thingy I did the other day?

I found that the reddit API has another endpoint which supplies flair data only. I scraped it, and collected the data from there, which is so much better than my original data

22.1k points of data

Niiiiiice

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Actually, there's a bit of a problem. The original scraped data gives you data on any user who commented in the past ~20 days or so in the subreddit. This one gives you data on any user who has set a flair in this subreddit, regardless of last activity

Question is, which set of data is more valid?
