The Bridge

11:00 PM

@James That screenshot shows when the screen was on, not how much battery it consumed. @badp seemed to be asking how much battery the screen being on consumed.

badp

this is what I get when I tap on the screen

kalina

I don't get one of those

Ben Brocka

@James Have you looked at partnership stuff at all? I'm grilling a partnership network that wants to recruit me but I'm skeptical of that whole business

user20683

a talking pigeon — if you have a problem that needs solving, Iron Mike is in your corner. The series incorporates live-action appearances featuring Mighty Mike himself, and the gloves come off as the former heavyweight champ and his fowl-mouthed partner gear up for weekly adventures as they put unsolved mysteries — like how to defeat a super computer at chess or why a famous author/werewolf can’t finish his novel — down for the count. Animated quarter-hour from Warner Bros Animation.

kalina

however looking at my graph, whenever the screen is on the battery goes ARRRRRRGHHHHHNOMAKEITSTOP

NightExcessive

11:00 PM

I just checked my HTC One X (AT&T version), I'm not finding the Usage entry for the screen either.

James

@BenBrocka I have declined all of the offers I have had.

badp

@kalina yes, precisely. That must be why your battery screen's crafted to NOT give you that figure.

James

@NightExcessive Ahhh :)

badp

@BenBrocka Machinima is the cancer that is killing YouTube nods

(not really but I actively dislike them)

kalina

@badp to be fair, yours does the same

James

11:02 PM

@BenBrocka While I would -love- to get enough notoriety to join Mindcrack.. I am not looking for monetization and that is what those network deals are usually about.

badp

@kalina yeah, it's a common problem. Although my screen's a 7" one.

kalina

@badp yours is also half the resolution of mine if you didn't resize your screenshots

NightExcessive

@kalina Which HTC phone do you have?

kalina

@NightExcessive htc one

badp

Screenshots not resized

Ben Brocka

11:03 PM

@James I already have monetization

@badp Eh fuck machinima, thisi sn't with them

badp

Okay.

James

@BenBrocka Do what you will then man :) If it goes well for you maybe I will give them a go next time around ;)

Ben Brocka

I do want to be sure that they won't do that shit where they content ID YOUR videos, whioch Iv'e seen machinima do

kalina

@badp your device is also awake a lot less than mine, I need to work out which of these apps I installed that is stopping the device from sleeping

Ben Brocka

wakelocks suck

really hope Key Lime Pie fixes that whole thing

kalina

11:05 PM

granted the answer is probably "all of them"

what with me having skype, steam, etc installed

badp

@kalina I haven't been running steam or Skype today

Ben Brocka

nah, specific stuff will lock you up

if you look in battery it should tell you

kalina

I have nothing that tells me what is keeping the device awake

Ben Brocka

FPSE was always keeping my phone awake when I used it

kalina

only which apps is using the battery

Ben Brocka

11:06 PM

Tap the apps, wake time is one of the stats on the page when you drill down

NightExcessive

@kalina Why is your HTC One 1920x1080 while my One X is only 1280x720? :(

kalina

@NightExcessive I don't know, ask HTC

Ben Brocka

for instance the other night Plus was randomly 46% of my battery; wakelocked, as I suspected

kalina

I didn't realise you could tap the apps for more info

NightExcessive

Also, my battery does the same thing when the screen is on:

kalina

11:08 PM

android system is top with ~7 mins, tasker is second with ~1 min

fbueckert

@kalina Woo! Grand Prix Story!

kalina

@fbueckert \o/

fbueckert

@kalina Have I mentioned I'm a huge fan of Kairosoft games?

kalina

@fbueckert I think so

perhaps more than once

Ben Brocka

@kalina those aren't wakelocking you (yet), did you recently fully charge though?

kalina

11:10 PM

yeah my graph was from a full charge, which happened lastnight

Ben Brocka

the best time to check is when it's <25% battery but before you fully recharge; once it hits 100% battery it wipes out the last set of data

kalina

it survived the whole day without being plugged in

hm

ok

Ben Brocka

So it only ever tells you the info for the current "charge"

kalina

well that can be the thing I do tomorrow night then

Ben Brocka

you can check it while it's charging though; just not after it hits 100%

kalina

11:11 PM

oh right, well it's at 10% atm

badp

@BenBrocka it wiped the data when I unplugged it at 98%

Ben Brocka

@badp Huh. It might have some weird threshold then. I have seen a chart with more than one recharge in the chart, so it doesn't wipe immediately after unplugging. It's probably when it's unplugged with at least X% that it wipes the data

Ronan Forman

@James I'm uploading game 1 tonight, unfortunately I can't upload the others as I must have moved my mic as I'm almost inaudible in games 2 and 3.

kalina

right, I am going to go and sleep now

nn

James

@RonanForman Yeah I noted you were pretty quiet :/ You still sounded ok in my ears but.. well yeah...

I have a constant balancing problem between Game, Me and Mumble.

LessPop_MoreFizz

11:15 PM

THE ALBUM HAS LEAKED. @fredley @brant @ everyone. THE ALBUM HAS LEAKED.

Ronan Forman

Mumble balances sound does it not?

James

Need to find some recording software that allows multiple audio track inputs from different sources.

@RonanForman It will attune other audio program levels, but it does not raise/lower individuals to a certain level to my knowledge.

fredley

@LessPop_MoreFizz It's not really a leak if the album is streamable anyway

NightExcessive

@James @RonanForman Could I get a link to one of these videos? :)

James

►

Ronan Forman

11:16 PM

I tend to record me through audacity and level later, annoyingly I didn't do that this time.

James

Team Stack Exchange! :D

NightExcessive

@James Thanks.

James

Was @RonanForman and @RedRiderX and myself + Kitty :)

Ben Brocka

@RonanForman you record audio and video separately?

Ronan Forman

@Ben Just my audio, game audio and video I keep together.

LessPop_MoreFizz

11:17 PM

@fredley LISTEN YOU.

Ben Brocka

@RonanForman Ah. Fraps?

I love camtasia as it captures game and mic audio as separate tracks at the same time. When recording game audio and mic audio in different programs I always find it's hell to line the audio tracks up again so there's no desync

Ronan Forman

Yeah. I know it sucks, I don't record enough to warrant getting something better though.

James

@BenBrocka Yeah that has been my fear.. Can that software record more than 2 sources?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@WorldEngineer Does running it on my windows partition count?

James

Id like to record game, Mumble and myself in 3 separate audio tracks

user20683

11:19 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I do have a windows 8 VM technically

Ben Brocka

@RonanForman I was just wondering how well that worked; for Fraps that might be a better way than I do it...

user20683

running it is taxing on my system

RedRiderX

@James Ah, you uploaded it!

James

@RedRiderX E03 will be tomorrow :)

user20683

largely due to my shitty, shitty video card

user20683

11:19 PM

I really just need to sell a good chunk of my books and all of my old warhammer stuff

Ben Brocka

@James Camtasia's expensive (200-300 I think?) but it will record system audio and mic audio as a different track. Not sure if you can have a third source though, I've only ever tried 2

James

You are quiet in my videos @RonanForman but you are hearable..

Ronan Forman

@James everyone but you is quite in your videos.

James

@BenBrocka hehe I am looking to spend like $600-$700 for work on an intro/outro video set.. Thats cheap if it works well :D

badp

google.com/…

James

11:20 PM

@RonanForman Yeah, mumble vs mic is always one of my problems :(

Ben Brocka

@James yuck, intros...I tried something briefly but realized most people won't care and my actual subscribers REALLY won't care after 600 videos

user20683

I suppose I could get sucked into this minecraft insanity but I doubt that would be good for my job search

Ronan Forman

And it's not just other stuff being louder I definatly managed to move my mic too far away without realising.

James

@BenBrocka Id like an intro tailored a bit to the mainstay LPs

Ben Brocka

mic positioning is part of why I use a headset mic (they're also a lot cheaper)

James

11:21 PM

One generic one

Then one for say, FTB, one for BTW, one for Competitions

[shrugs] I am bored and would like a new intro :)

Ronan Forman

@Ben I do have a headset, that's the weird part

Ben Brocka

If I were going to do that I'd just make a quick title card personally

Ronan Forman

I won it in the ME3 competition.

Ben Brocka

I use a plantronics gamecom, they're really good midrange headsets

James

@BenBrocka I just recently bought a very nice set of headphones, and a yeit mic.. I sooo need to get a stand for it though, that hum you hear is actually my computer as they are both sitting on the desk :/

Ronan Forman

11:24 PM

Anyway I ought to sleep now. My video should be up some time tomorrow.

Ben Brocka

@James my only problem with my mic is sibilance

and my keyboard, but the keyboard's just loud

James

@BenBrocka Haha, same, I got a very nice mechanical keyboard, downside is its very loud.

badp

I thought I could dodge this wave of DOTA 2 invites

Nope!

I'll just put them in the dispenser

This user's friends list is full.
New invites cannot be sent at this time.

blech

"Permanently delete gift" is also a new button.

11:47 PM

@badp Yeh. And it works.

badp

@fei did you enjoy pressing it?

FEichinger

@badp Oh yes. It felt amazing. Finally got rid of the Steam Mobile I had. :P

badp

What if I told you you could experience the same entertainment not one, not two, but seven more times?

spugsley

@badp yes, yes I did ;o

Powerlord

@badp Whoa, really?

badp

11:51 PM

It'd be like sevenzfoldeworthleßibesteamgiftendestroyienzescadenfreudeya!

Powerlord

You mean I can ditch the Steam Community Beta gift from like two years ago for a beta that ended... like two years ago?

badp

Yes! I think.

Q: What is the reason for the Eastern European setting in Half-Life 2?

I recently started to play through Half-Life 2 again. You can see a lot of places with these texts throughout the game: Names like "Little Odessa" also suggest that Half-Life 2 takes place in Europe. What is the reason of the switch? I only have guesses like "Nuclear fallout from blowing up Bl...

Oh free beer, how do I love thee, let me count the ways.

1) Thou art delicious.

2) Thou getst me drunk.

3) Thou costs me nothing.

4) Thine quantity is limitless.

5) Thou quenchest my thirst after a long days work in the pre-summer heat.

6) Have I mentioned that thou art free, delicious, and quite literally intoxicating?
