@Scootaloo what do you mean frame?
 
@Scootaloo You can paint a picture of yourself on the wall in TF2
 
welcome to the chat room - such a lonely place - memes and something-ace
 
A single frame - like an actual frame that is displayed that make up the video game.
 
we are all pawns of GabeN
 
user20683
@Johann I think of myself as more of a Rook.
 
3:01 AM
bishop
knight?
 
omg what the fuck are we talking about?
 
yeah i think we all know about FPS
 
user20683
@spugsley better not to ask
 
except for foul mouth here
 
user20683
3:02 AM
it's been a weird one tonight
 
@spugsley I have no idea, but I'm leaving for now because I don't think I can take it.
 
clearing out too
 
@Johann except what?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I already did something wrong?
 
@Scootaloo Still doesn't make sense
 
3:03 AM
@spugsley Don't. Just leave it be.
 
@WorldEngineer I always go through this cycle of amusement, frustration, and boredom when someone new shows up and just randomly throws kinda out of nowhere gaming topics out to try to get chat 'on topic'.
 
@FEichinger okay, I'll take your word for it
 
I'm going for breakfast, chat, and IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT
 
@Scootaloo Not in any formal sense. I'm just tired buzzed and cranky.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone you said you were going for breakfast like 3 hours ago dude.
 
3:04 AM
@FEichinger Let's say there are 60 frames per second being held constantly in a video game. I wan't to be one of those frames. If that makes any sense.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I understand to a point.
 
I dont know how you feel
it is ok
 
If anyone here likes TF2 or Inspector Gadget you may like this: youtube.com/watch?v=OYBZrRCCrXE
 
@Scootaloo I think, if you step out during a thunderstorm and make sure you're struck by lightning, you'll temporarily be the exact same thing as a frame.
 
guys
 
@FEichinger I'd rather not die though.
 
3:06 AM
reality check
the world is separate from a video game
it is THE MATRIX
 
@Johann don't take everything I say literally. Trust me it's not worth it.
 
thou cannot truly postulate
 
are we allowed to flag if we think someone is a spammer/bot/whatever word the internet is using these days?
 
who
 
no one. It's just a question
 
3:08 AM
I think spugsley is trying to imply I'm a bot.
 
you sound like a young person trying to sound old
 
lol ok
@Scootaloo no, I promise I wasn't
 
you can tell because bots ask metaphysical questions
the end
 
I passed the captcha test.
 
@Scootaloo :p lol
 
3:09 AM
Which can be easily bypassed by actual bots XD.
 
bahahahaha
 
fail level - beyond recognisation
It is all a conspiracy to keep 70 year old women who are nearly blind off the internet
tl;dr Its a conspiracy man
jk
 
@Johann they help prevent spam, but they are not fail proof. If you think that they are fail proof than you're not too bright.
 
It was a joke
hence the jk
jk = joke
 
Ok.
I thought JK stood for just kidding.
 
3:12 AM
XD
 
it can mean different things
joke - vowels = jk
just kidding first letters = jk
 
?
 
If I were a bot than I think my programmer would or should be very ashamed.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ....for god sakes, another Dolan?
 
3:13 AM
what...are you doing @LessPop_MoreFizz
what is dolan
 
@Johann Tormenting @spugsley.
 
hehe
 
He is the owner of the Cleveland Indians!
 
but what is dolan
is it creeper donald duck
 
Has anyone here realized that LessPop_MoreFizz has a troll for an avatar? I think his intentions are fairly obvious.
 
3:13 AM
it's better not to ask about Dolan
 
@Scootaloo It's not a troll. It's Doctor Teeth.
 
i can handle anything
so can the servers
@LessPop_MoreFizz very subtle troll
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz is too drunk to be a troll
generally speaking
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Dr. Teeth is the closest thing The Muppet Show had to a troll.
 
or actually that was @badp, sorry
 
3:15 AM
ah memories
remember the elton john episode
SO AWKWARD
 
spybot
PROOF
 
I wish they would remove that stupid animation for the spy.
 
no matter what he looks weird
 
It takes longer to stab because his hand has to move into that position. I wonder which dumb ass had that brilliant idea.
 
3:18 AM
hey guys what is the greatest game of all time
I think pac man
 
Diablo 2
 
it was addictive and popular
 
TF2 beta
 
diablo 2
tf2 beta?
historical games
 
TF2 when it still had all of the beta skins and what not.
 
3:18 AM
the good old days
 
eh, I have no opinion
 
so one tf2 one pacman and one no op
 
no Diablo 2 was mine
 
Borderlands/Borderlands 2
 
Before they added all of the stupid hats and crap. I don't mind the hats, but they are kind of annoying.
 
3:19 AM
you said no opinion
 
but as far as historical games, classics, no opinion
 
ok so one pacman - one diablo 2 - one tf2 beta - one borderlands
 
user20683
that's a hard one
 
indeed
 
"Adobe Shockwave has stopped working"
 
user20683
3:22 AM
@Scootaloo does Shockwave "work" to begin with?
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer unlikely
 
ok so one pacman - one diablo 2 - one tf2 beta - one borderlands - one adobe shockwave
interesting
not as bad as actionscript heavy site that take 3 minutes to load
i remember the good old days of shockwave
 
@WorldEngineer no idea. Chrome just gave the message when I was on tinypic.
 
ok so one pacman - one diablo 2 - one tf2 beta - one borderlands - one Chrome?
 
wtf not chrome
lol
 
3:24 AM
chrome isnt a game
i am sorry to inform you
#notabo

user20683
@Johann if you've not played Alpha Centauri, I recommend it
 
3:27 AM
@Johann Like most of arqade? XD
 
hehe
everyone has a favorite game
mega man 2
 
@Scootaloo I see no "u" in "Arqade"
 
colorblind?

@kalina Look again.

3:28 AM
I've missed you kalina and your insults.
 
XD
lol
 
I insulted nobody
 
XD
ok so one pacman - one diablo 2 - one tf2 beta - one borderlands - one Alpha Centauri - one i insulted nobody
 
@kalina I forgive you.
 
poor kalina - trix are for kids
 
3:29 AM
I don't need your forgiveness
 
ok so one pacman - one diablo 2 - one tf2 beta - one borderlands - one Alpha Centauri - one I dont need your forgiveness
 
@kalina No need to be shy. XD
 
hehe
 
This isn't shyness
This is me wishing I could suspend people from chat
 
What did I do wrong?
 
3:30 AM
so the opposite of shyness
sadness
jk
you have your avatar as a pony - BANNED FOR LIFE
XD
 
One of the owners of this room has a pony avatar. lol
 
'average of 4 words or less per post' - banned
'questioning my authoritah' - banned
 
you counted?
XD
 
quote south park - BANNED
 
3:31 AM
@Scootaloo not anymore
 
@Scootaloo Fixed.
 
BUM BUM BUM
 
Why did you ban Fluttershy? :(
 
PONY AVATAR
 
user20683
@Scootaloo not a ban
 
3:32 AM
That was very harsh.
 
@Scootaloo I didn't ban anybody.
 
Fluttershy would never get banned
 
HE DIDNT MERELY BAN
HE DESTROYED
 
What @kalina said. @Fluttershy is too much of a goody goody to get himself banned.
2
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well you took swift action just because of me.
 
3:32 AM
you guys make me lol
 
herself
itself
 
user20683
@Johann destroy has a very specific usage here, be careful
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I dunno. There was that one time I accidentally posted porn in here.
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer This is very true
 
uh oh
 
user15026
3:33 AM
@Fluttershy Wait, what?
 
wow
 
@Fluttershy Wait so you're still an owner? hooray!
 
LOONG STORY IM GUESSING
 
user20683
@Scootaloo access != ownership
 
@Scootaloo no, just hit the refresh button.
 
3:33 AM
so what does destroy mean
 
@AshleyNunn I said accidentally. As soon as I caught it (i.e. @fbueckert pointed it out to me after clicking on it at work), I flagged it myself.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't want to.
 
im guessing you are perm. banned
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Awesome.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Couldn't you just force the room to refresh? if I wanted to I could never refresh and on my end Fluttershy would always be an owner with an italic name.
 
3:35 AM
so what does destroy mean
perm ban
 
Fluttershy
We will never forget the day that you were still an owner.
 
SNIFF SNIFF
SO WHAT DOES DESTROY MEAN
PERM BAN?
 
@Johann You'll never find out.
 
@Johann you don't want to know, but if you continue spamming in caps asking I'm sure you will get well on your way to finding out
 
3:38 AM
HACKED?
very funny
 
not watching...
:-(I
so...guessing banned or hacked
which one
 
user20683
@Johann it means that any negative posts are wiped out, your profile is wiped and you are no longer directly linked to your account
 
WOAH
 
user20683
@Johann it's a nuclear option
 
3:39 AM
@Johann I would stop typing IN ALL CAPS if I were you.
 
user20683
@Scootaloo he'd have to do much worse than that.
 
What are the other unusally cruel punishments at stackoverflow
 
user20683
it's not something to joke about
 
the ancient bearded one remarks
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer Truth.
 
3:40 AM
sorry thats just what your profile pic looks like
 
@WorldEngineer I wasn't aware that I was trying to make a joke.
 
how much worse
sorry have to bite
 
Alright you two masterpieces here, @Johann and @Scootaloo. You made me *write up a message*, shows how pissed I am.
You two managed to cause a full-on evacuation of the Bridge here. *A lot* of people had to change rooms to avoid getting their blood pressure up to insanity and slamming their heads into a wall.
 
unspeakable terrors
 
This chat has seen a *lot* of aggressively interruptive and *trollish* people, but you are the first people I saw causing an *actual evacuation*.
And, as much as I didn't want to do this, but I won't let you keep on doing this. I'm gonna go full-on artillery mode against you now, because you get *bloody annoying*. Both of you.
A) Stop trying to push your own conversation into the foreground. We are talking, and we're a very talkative bunch. Yes, that often means you can't talk about what you like, but it is just *polite* not to interrupt.
You have your own topics, but if they don't fit into the current conversation, you are *annoying*. Repeatedly trying to get your own conversation going with the whole room ("Hey guys, what do you think about X?") while the rest of the room is already talking is *annoying*.
B) For the love of god, get to know the community first. If we disagree with you on a topic, it means you d
D) Get to know the topic. Arqade is a gaming site. From what I can tell, both of you disagree with *a lot* of majority opinions of the gaming community. The very existance of elitism causing the use of "noob", the "greatest game ever", need for awesome graphics - those don't fit in with core gaming.
You may have your own opinions, but you need to be aware of the fact that a lot of people on here might disagree with them - and you need to be sensible enough to realize that what you're saying doesn't sit well with the other people around you.
Try to show some common decency and common sense. You are the second and third person within a week, and that may well have rubbed us the wrong way, but at this point, you have caused a lot of irritation.
Try to cut it down, and try to fit in. This may well not be the site for you, and we'd be sorry for it, but on a social level, people just have to be able to work together for a collaborative site like this.
We could all just ignore you and leave you be. Instead we at least try to give you a chance and try to show you the ropes. You are making it very hard.
Thanks, and bye.
 
3:41 AM
actually most gamers have a favorite game
You rarely stay on topic.
 
Talking about games is off-topic for The Bridge.
 
And I am trying to talk about the site itself and what gets you banned
 
user15026
@Johann You kinda came in and started just spamtalking, when we were having conversations
 
so I dont get banned
I was trying to talk about not getting banned
you were talking about BEER
having to do with gaming
 
@AshleyNunn In my case (aside from when I got myself chat banned twice) I don't see what I did to be annoying. I am honestly trying to fit in and not be annoying. Honestly.
 
3:44 AM
So what is considered bannable behavior besides "being annoying"
seriously
 
@Johann I talk about beer a lot. It is one of my most favorite things.
 
yeah and you should be allowed to
 
@Johann You are going to come in here, as a new user, and tell one of the most prolific users what he should be allowed to do?
That is just stupid.
2
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Did you ever finish that Fin du Monde, btw
 
@Scootaloo Short and honest answer: Lurk more. The key to succefully integrating into a community is joining the conversation that is already ongoing, rather than trying, aggressively and repeatedly to start your own.
 
3:45 AM
we all should be allowed to talk about what we want
true
jk
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Or make fake Magic cards. That's what I did.
 
user15026
@Johann There is a difference between....what @LessPop_MoreFizz said.
 
let not the confines of gaming restrain us from higher forms of communication!
viva la stack overflow
 
We're pretty welcoming to newcomers - most of the bridge regulars have not been here since the inception - but we do have a culture that I'd suggest that you adjust to, because going the other way around isn't going to happen.
 
tmi
 
3:46 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ok. I guess I'll try to lurk more before I talk.
 
but isnt a topic that is not yours not related to your topic and thus spam
 
user15026
@Scootaloo Just til you get a feel of stuff. I mean do talk, but also remember we have a culture already well established, so nudging against it never works well. (not laying blame, just explaning)

then everything except things mods post will be spam
:(

Q: What are the criteria for the stopwatch stamp?

SeanOn the level complete screen there is a bronze stopwatch or clock stamp/badge alongside the green gems and the yarn ball), but there is no time information as to what triggers it. Is the stamp based off of completion time or some other factor, like deaths? If based on completion time, which co-op...

0
Q: How can I tell when I have all the collectibles in a level?

SeanMany levels have five+ green gems to collect, but I don't know if I missed any when I'm near the exit. Are there any visual or audible indicators that I've collected all the gems in the level, or otherwise that I will have all the stamps (including the yarn ball and stopwatch) when I exit?

 
user15026
@Johann No
 
3:47 AM
this conversation is triple meta
i dont think I can handle this
lazers is the only one not spamming right now then
 
@AshleyNunn Thanks for the advice.
 
(o_o)
 
dat strawman
 
(o_0)
 
user15026
@Scootaloo No problem. I know it is hard to get used to a new place - it took me FOREVER to talk in here.
 
3:49 AM
@Fluttershy Me?
 
user15026
(I am shy by nature)
 
user15026
@Fluttershy I could use him as a scarecrow!
 
(0_u)
(u-yupp)
ok i dont even know anymore
everyones gone
place is shutting down
 
user15026
@Johann Honestly, hun, we have given you some good advice here to consider, and perhaps upon consideration, you might see why the bulk of us no longer feel like chatting in this room
 
user20683
@Johann and it's all your fault. Happy with the desolation?
 
3:52 AM
yes thats what I said
alexander wept when there was nothing left to conquer
i dont
 
user15026
@Johann But I don't think conquering here was a good choice.
 
user15026
If nothing else, one is a lonely number, no?
 
@AshleyNunn I can't speak for Johann, but I can see that I am part of the problem which I'll try to improve upon.
 
no anology is perfect
 
@Scootaloo this is good news
 
user15026
3:53 AM
@Scootaloo I appreciate that, muchly. gives cupcake
 
user15026
@Johann No, but you have shown a distinct lack of courtesy and consideration for hte people here.
3
 
hehe
no i wasnt laughing at you it was the comic
 
Are you sure?
 
@Scootaloo You can speak for anyone with enough finger puppets.
 
3:54 AM
yes
 
@scootaloo FWIW, you alone would not have been enough to trigger this reaction. The impression you give suffers from the company you have been unfortunate enough to keep tonight.
 
user15026
@Johann Even so, my point still stands
 
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
 
i love that poem
.
