@fredley yaaaaaaaay Allie
 
\o/
 
@fredley I wish this was in the Steam Summer Sale
 
@OrigamiRobot I wish you were in the Steam Summer Sale
 
@fredley I am. 80% off.
wink
 
4:05 PM
@OrigamiRobot *Buys @OrigamiRobot*
I am disappointed, there's only 20% of a robot here.
 
REPORTING FOR DUTY, SIR!
 
@OrigamiRobot At least I got the useful 20%
Slave Robot! It's hot, fan me!
 
scribbles notes
 
@Fluttershy You forgot the furiously
 
4:08 PM
scribbles furiously notes
 
@OrigamiRobot Excellent. Please move the fan.
 
@OrigamiRobot Excellent. Now bring me a Gin & Tonic
 
OrigamiGooglebot.
 
@RonanForman @OrigamiSlaveBot
 
4:10 PM
Little does @fredley know, but @OrigamiRobot's cooling fans are in his butt.
 
@Fluttershy His exhaust is cool and sweetly scented, so I don't care.
 
Isn't it wonderful?
Sims 3 (released in *2009*) - 45€, discounted 50% in the Summer Sale.
Hitman: Absolution (released in *2012*) - 25€, discounted 75% in the Summer Sale.
 
Not to mention the tons of DLC for the Sims which generally place it in the triple figures, no matter how much it's discounted.
 
At least it's not Train Simulater 2013, the game with DLC reaching quadruple-digit totals.
 
4:14 PM
@Fluttershy And very little actual content.

Q: Uncharted 3 multiplayer online: DLC maps never play

BulletCatcherI bought, downloaded, and installed a DLC map pack for Uncharted 3. But though I've spent hours playing online, I have never seen one of the new maps come up in voting. I have the DLC option turned on. I tried creating a custom game, and there, I'm able to select the new maps -- but it's pretty ...

Q: How can I make myself Owner on my own server?

EthanBaconGamingI recently bought a server from minecrafted.net and found out that because I use my email for my username in Minecraft I am not the owner just an op. How can I fix this?

 
I really hope Deadpool goes on sale. It looks like a great game but I don't know if it's worth $40
 
@BoltClock New games probably won't go on sale.
I'd like FF7 or Mortal Kombat Komplete to go on sale, too, but I don't expect it.
 
@BoltClock It looks fun, but IDK about "great"
 
@StrixVaria I wouldn't say that. The sale was already pretty surprising in that regard.
 
4:25 PM
@FEichinger Which new games got surprising discounts?
 
@OrigamiRobot Mediocre gameplay, and Daniel Way's Deadpool. That much I know
 
@StrixVaria A lot of stuff from March through May. Which I'd still consider relatively new.
 
@BoltClock I'd get it for like $10
 
In other news, Natural Selection 2 on next Community's Choice sale, at -75%.
 
@OrigamiRobot Ouch
 
4:33 PM
@BoltClock And that's only because I like Deadpool.
 
Maybe I should just save up for the comics instead
 
@OrigamiRobot I'd probably go no more than $5 on that game.
I don't know if what Steam is doing is good for the industry or not.
Getting games for $5 is amazing, though.
 
@StrixVaria Like I said, I like Deadpool.
 
No way
 
4:38 PM
^-- Looks rather blue to me.
 
@FEichinger This is clearly purple.
Although the pic in my post isn't actually a violet, which makes me feel betrayed.
 
@StrixVaria Well, I didn't want to point that out, since I get where you're coming from. :P
That said, they're clearly blue closer to the center.
 
@FEichinger Not at all.
Actual violets are even more purple than your picture.
 
I love purple
 
FAE
@BoltClock Me too
 
4:54 PM
Me three!
 
Ooh, Transport Tycoon is making it's way to mobile later this year.
I hope that spurs something for PC.
 
@fbueckert Ooh, sweet.
I think it's too early for a new Transport Tycoon on PC.
 
@FEichinger The last one came out...what? A decade ago?
Not including OpenTTD.
 
@fbueckert Sure, but that was still the iso era. We have to go full 3D now. And with Cities in Motion (and CiM 2 in particular), city/regional public transport is already covered. So it'd have to go all the way to long-distance again. Which, with full 3D, might just be a little too much.
 
@FEichinger RCT tried 3D, and it flopped, horribly.

Q: What items can be sold on Steam Marketplace?

Laurbert515I know that people can buy and sell the new steam cards, but I see items for some games (TF2 and DOTA2) being sold for well over $10.00. Are these items that people have found in game and then are able to sell on the marketplace or are these items that they have bought with real money and are now...

Q: When idling in tf2, do items build up?

user51933I have been idling for a couple of weeks now, and i would like to know if when you idle overnight, and receive drops, do they build up on the "You have received a new item" page, or do you have to click 'ok' to get more items? If they don't add up, does the time you spent on that new item screen ...

Q: #1 in bronze but still stuck there. Why?

LoseloseloseJust started playing SC2. Never played RTS before. It's been 3 and a half weeks since I'm number 1 in my bronze league (40 games won/ 41 games lost)-680 points. What I don't understand is why I'm not moved to the next league?(silver). I'm not good enough or is there a bug?

Q: What rank must I achieve for Hockey Ultimate Team Pro monthly playoff in NHL '12?

JCarleeIn NHL '12, I am trying to complete the last achievement for getting into a Hockey Ultimate Team playoff tournament. I have completed the Amateur and Elite ranks, but do not know the general ranking area I need to make the Pro tourny. Does anyone have experience with this or know the general ran...

Q: No Minecraft bin or resource folder!

HorseloverI open my .minecraft folder and there is no bin or resource folders! Pease help! How do I fix it?

 
@fbueckert Which is also why we haven't seen any of that recently either.
 
I'd be super happy with another isometric transport game.
 
@fbueckert As would I. But I doubt it's on the plate for anyone other than indies - which tend to be more creative than rehashing TT. :/ I just doubt there'd be anything viable in that regard anytime soon.
 
@FEichinger I'd happily like something with a bit more meat than OpenTTD.
It's focused on railroads, which is cool, but I feel there's more complexity available in the other transport types.
 
@fbueckert I've been thinking about making something like that, actually. Taking Locomotion (which was great for a long time) and advancing it a little more in terms of mechanics (so it's both back in line with TT and capable of a little more simulation - and more brains in the pathfinding).
But I've also lacked time and resources to think it further.
 
5:02 PM
@fbueckert Well IMO I wouldn't say flopped; I enjoyed RCT3, especially the Coaster Cam feature. But I think we can all agree it didn't feel very RCT at all
 
evning people
 
FAE
The Steam sale isn't showing up now, post-rollover.
 
You could add in loading complexity for all transport types; not just load wait times, but actual buildings/mechanics you need to keep track of for loading your goods.
 
@FAE Patience. That's nothing we haven't seen before either.
 
@FAE Yay, Steam hammering.
(I am directly contributing to this problem by hammering my F5 key)
 
FAE
5:04 PM
@fbueckert hahaha
 
@FAE Post-rollover?
 
NO STEAM SALE GOING ON!
 
Oh you mean the time when new daily deals are announced and everything
Sorry

The Steam Store is experiencing some heavy load right now. Please try again later.
yeah ok
 
FAE
@BoltClock right
 
@fbueckert Well, I mostly focused on scale and pathfinding by now. Locomotion had a lot of issues with rail junctions, for instance. That made larger stations pointless. And the scale of buildings vs vehicles and streets was also sub-par. The details of the actual goods simulation was far out there (since that worked surprisingly well already).
 
5:06 PM
@fbueckert you dont have an auto update addon?
 
FAE
There it is.
 
Ooh, Reus half off, interesting.
 
Oh, whew. There's the Summer Sale.
 
Mirror's Edge, $6
 
I got in, and it looked like the sale was over.
 
FAE
5:07 PM
@fbueckert Yeah, that's what I saw too.
 
@fbueckert That's what usually happens for a few moments.
 
KOTOR II? uuuuuuugggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh
cmon steam
let me have some money
 
@RedRiderX And tomorrow Tomb Raider goes on Daily Deal apparently.
 
@FEichinger Well, pathfinding is something to work on, yes. I think there can be more, though.
 
@FEichinger Eee, I'm a bit meh on that one.
 
FAE
5:09 PM
@StrixVaria Dishonored is in the Daily Deal.
Should be about $10 for you, I think.
 
@FEichinger Wait what. TR had a Daily Deal two days ago
 
@FEichinger Hasn't it already been in a special sale?
 
@fbueckert Obviously, but that's rather complicated in itself, given that you have to factor in failures.
@BoltClock That was a Flash Sale, I believe.
 
@FEichinger No it was a Daily Deal
 
@BoltClock Well, the post card for tomorrow is Tomb Raider.
 
5:09 PM
@FEichinger I got Football Manager.
 
Yesterday's post card was Tomb Raider. Unless... it's going up for a second day
Not yesterday, uh
Two days ago
(Yesterday's was Kerbal Space Program amirite?)
 
@fbueckert That's interesting.
Lemme see.
 
I bet Valve's being tricksy.
 
Hmmm ... Curious.
This is the first time that it's regularly changing the tomorrow-card for me.
The first few days, the second post card always correctly and consistently showed the next day's daily deal for me.
Right now, it's changing every reload. That's weird.
 
@FEichinger Valve's wise to the trick.
 
user30
5:16 PM
so, what to buy today?
 
Castle Crashers
 
@BoltClock Seconded.
 
Wait, Castle Crashers has trading cards too? Oh boy
 
If you want some great modern coop beat-em-up action, there ain't much better.

A: Is there a way to increase the number of items displayed in the kill feed?

The Annoying PyroAs noted by Lysarion in the comments, the file to modify is hudlayout.res, which is found in the /tf/scripts folder in the team fortress 2 content.gcf archive. Extracting and searching the file, I find the following field: HudDeathNotice { "fieldName" "HudDeathNotice" // ... "MaxDe...

Need to update this to reflect the new file system but I have no idea how
(Ha, reflect)
 
5:39 PM
Ugh... Bored.
 
@Fluttershy Do what @Kalina did when she was bored. Get yourself banned and quit Arqade forever
I wonder where her boredom level is at these days by comparison.
 
@Sterno I don't think I'm quite bored enough to do that.
 
Write a user script that makes everyone's avatar look like a pony to you, then.
 
I do not know how to write user scripts. I'll probably just read a book on my kindle or something.
 
6:00 PM
Huh, a foil Summer Sale card, go figure.
 
@FEichinger Lucky
 
@OrigamiRobot Is there any benefit to them, actually? Except for selling them on the market for ten times the value of a non-foil, that is.
 
@FEichinger The selling part is the only part I care about.
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh, well.
 
@Sterno She quit?
 
6:03 PM
@BoltClock Yes, but she didn't get herself banned first.
 
@OrigamiRobot Well, she was suspended shortly before.
 
@FEichinger No, she was kicked from the room.
 
@OrigamiRobot And then she was flagged for raging at badp over it.
 
@FAE Thanks!

Q: Why can't other people connect to my world?

staceyI have a HTC One, and I can connect to others, but no one can find me on my new world. My friends all have HTC-based Android phones as well. Why can I connect to their worlds but not the other way around, and how can I fix this?

Q: How are "Foil" Badges different from common game Badges?

Raven DreamerAs I understand it, crafting a set of regular Steam Trading Cards gets you a common Game Badge. I also know that it is impossible to use a mix of regular and foil cards to craft a badge. Either you craft them entirely with Foil Cards, or you use no foil cards. (With the former granting you a Foil...

Q: I just can't beat the Reaper on Rannoch in ME3

user51940I have read all the tips and I just can't do this particular mission. I am really looking for some kind of save game editor to allow you to finish the mission or something of that nature. I've tried the only save game editor (gibbed) I can find but the option of completing a mission is not avai...

Q: What is the minimum required for a Resolution to be passed?

ShykinI've been wondering what the minimum number of votes required to pass a resolution. Is there a minimum number of votes? Is it a percent of all the votes? 51% Majority and 50% votes cast? How do abstaining and Nay's factor into a vote? I want to understand how many votes I need to fully control t...

 
FAE
6:29 PM
People who have played Dishonored, should I get the DLC?
 
Gift purchases don't count towards getting cards. Thanks Valve.
 
FAE
@StrixVaria Wait, what, seriously?
 
@StrixVaria I'm pretty sure this isn't true.
 
@FAE I just bought Portal 2 for a friend because seriously how do you not own that and it didn't credit me the amount.
 
@StrixVaria I got cards for gifting @FAE the Civ V expansion...
 
6:32 PM
@StrixVaria Did you purchase as a gift directly, or as a giftable item? Cause I did the later and definitely got cards.
 
Oh, it's just slow.
Stupid website.
It updated finally.
And another Skyrim card.
 
Yayyy! Problem(?) solved!
 
I need to go home so I can finish Tomb Raider so I can play all the other stuff I bought.
 
I just sold my booster pack for $1.10
 
@Fluttershy I found a tomb this morning and was disappointed that it was literally one room.
 
6:34 PM
@StrixVaria Where are you in the game?
 
@BoltClock Uh, there's a big-ass guy dragging a club around being intimidating.
 
I just started a new playthrough. Haven't made my first kill "yet" :P
@StrixVaria Ahhh. Yeah I remember that
 
@StrixVaria All of the tombs are pretty small, sadly. Like I said, the tombs were my main complaint about the game. =(
 
Anyway, I'm really enjoying the game.
I don't know how much replay value it would have, though.
 
I mostly replayed it for an achievement. <_< And then again to see how fast I could 100% it.
 
6:37 PM
You'll have quite a few opportunities to explore
My second playthrough is about 3 hours in but I've only just upgraded my axe and opened the gate :P
@Fluttershy I now rely on multiple saves to make sure I won't miss that achievement again
 
@Lazers Dupe.
Also, it's an absolutely gorgeous day outside.
 
I'm so glad I don't care about getting achievements.
 
@StrixVaria Then there is absolutely zero replay value unless you like watching a hapless young girl get impaled multiple times over
 
@BoltClock She does it so often.
 
@BoltClock I thought that was the fun part?
 
6:47 PM
I think the most disturbing death sequence isn't any of the ones where she gets speared in the throat while falling or being carried down rapids, but the one that happens while you're upside down after getting caught in a trap
 
@BoltClock I didn't die there.
So I didn't see it.
 
@BoltClock How do you even die there?
 
@FEichinger I'm referring to the traps you get caught in when you walk over them, usually during battle. There's one in Shantytown. You can still attack and be attacked while hanging
 
@BoltClock And you can free yourself rather easily.
 
Sometimes I forget :P
 
6:51 PM
Hmmm ... That never happened to me.
 
Other times a goon gets close enough that he can slit your throat before you get a chance to react. Instant death
 
I gotta say, I find the goons the most annoying part of the game.
Floods and floods of red stuff to shoot, for no good reason.
Far Cry 3's animals were more fitting - and actually more engaging - than the swarms of idiots in Tomb Raider.
 
I guess this is part of the Bethesda experience?
 
@badp Yuuuup.
Just shrug, shoot them, and continue on.
 
it's actually the NPC I just freed and my lead for the next part of the game
I dunno if shooting him would get me an instant game over
 
6:55 PM
@badp Nope.
 
@badp Quicksave!
 
@badp Try
 
The problem is the whole of this place would turn against me
 
Killing Deputy Beagle is actually pretty fine.
I even found it very fitting after how much of an arse he was.
 
well that was disappointing
 
6:56 PM
I wonder 1) how long it'll take for me to reach Hale's Own Homewrecker 2) how many buildings I'll have destroyed and sappers removed and 3) how many kills my Powerjack will have by then
 
he just teleported down
 
@badp He's out of the roof!
Mission accomplished!
 
...but for being a person that "wets himself before shooting" he hits hard.
 
@badp That game is largely responsible for the popularity of , you can't go wrong with killing people there
 
okay, now he's gone completely
 
6:57 PM
@MadScientist Half-way through the game you're a mass murderer anyway. Hardly any way around it.
 
gg
now where the hell is the salesman
 
Salesman?
 
I NEED TO SELL ALL THE STOVES AND HALF-BURNT BOOKS AND STUFF
THERE IS NO STOVE DUNGEON
 
...
I think the casino has a bar somewhere.
 
There needs to be a broom dungeon, though.
Just to jerk around those that don't OCD pick up everything.
 
7:00 PM
Getting overencumbered in Primm already is quite a feat, though. Well, unless you literally pick up everything.

Q: Evolution moment #37

anonIn Evolution 2004, Daigo Umehara made a dramatic comeback in Street Fighter III: 3rd strike, with the footage popularly known as Evo Moment #37. In videos depicting the moment, the commentator is heard saying "Rare footage of Daigo actually angry." Who was the commentator at that time?

 
Yoo o/
 
@Michel Dude!
 
@fbueckert =) miss you Marshal
 
@Michel How goes?
 
7:06 PM
finally a little breath from work... I could open the browser outside google and stackoverflow xD working 24/7 nowadays T_T
 
@FEichinger of course I do.
 
@fbueckert What you do to keep yourself busy is amazing o.O even at home I study or work so I keep my mind busy xD
 
 
@Michel Yeah, I've been stupid busy lately, myself.
Got a project launching soon, and between that and dancing, I basically come home and flop.
 
@fbueckert What kind of music do you dance?
 
7:11 PM
@Michel Right now, practicing for a Tango performance in September.
 
Jin
i went outside this weekend
 
:o
 
Jin
^ sums up my experience, sans the sport.
 
@fbueckert Please! don't forget to record a video for your gamer friends xD
 
@Michel I had a Waltz performance last year. That got taped.
 
user20683
7:15 PM
pomegranate yogurt is weird
 
@fbueckert link please xD
 
@WorldEngineer And I just read that as "pregnant yogurt" ... That was a weird five seconds.
 
user15026
@worldengineer I don't understand the current trend of pomegranate everything.
 
user20683
@AshleyNunn massive amounts of anti-oxidants
 
user20683
7:16 PM
@FEichinger it has active cultures...it's technically pregnant
 
Oh, hey, this year is the 20th anniversary of the studio.
 
user15026
@worldengineer I guess, but when it is just a flavour, I doubt it has all the good stuff of an actual pomegranate.
 
@AshleyNunn I just want actual pomegranate
 
user15026
I guess I just think they are a weird fruit to begin with
 
user20683
@AshleyNunn This isn't a flavor, this is actual pomegranate. Seeds and all
 
FAE
7:17 PM
@OrigamiRobot I love pomegranates but they're so annoying to eat
 
user15026
@origami me too to be honest
 
user20683
it's like yogurt gone bubble tea
 
@FAE I've only had 3 seeds in my life
 
user15026
@worldengineer oh no. That's just texture issues waiting to be triggered.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Jochem's grandpa buys us whole pomegranates once in a while
 
7:18 PM
@fbueckert checking out
 
@FAE :(
 
user20683
@AshleyNunn particularly since each chunk is like a little halfway raisin
 
user15026
@worldengineer shudders I couldn't eat it.
 
@WorldEngineer No, raisins are gross.
 
@fbueckert she is your girl or just a dancer partner ?
 
7:19 PM
@Michel She's old enough to be my mother. My ballroom partner.
 
@fbueckert I don't judge =P
 
user20683
@fbueckert You the one with black hair and the beard?
 
rofl
 
@WorldEngineer That's me.
I'm the youngest out of all of them.
 
user15026
Then again I can only eat yogurt if it is really really cold.
 
user20683
7:21 PM
@AshleyNunn frozen yogurt?
 
user20683
that cold
 
@fbueckert you are good =) (not joking!)
 
user20683
?
 
user15026
@worldengineer haha yeah and like right from the fridge cold
 
user15026
Same with milk
 
7:21 PM
@Michel Just the description on that video.
 
user15026
If it isn't cold I can't do it.

Woot
 
We spent a solid year practicing that.
 
made it into a minecraft competition
I was about to give up hope :)
 
@James Nice. What kind?
Also, long time no chat. You guys ever do any more with arena mods?
 
7:25 PM
@fbueckert And in the 20th is the Tango presentation?
 
@DanRasmussen Build up for X number of days, then 'Battlee!!!!!' :D
 
@Michel Yup
 
@DanRasmussen Nah, we fudged around with some addons but now that UHC is part of Vanilla minecraft we are done :D
 
@James Sounds like TNTing the world means you win automatically.
 
@James So like a UHC with a no-fire period in the beginning?
 
7:26 PM
I was talking last Friday with a friend to start dance classes... funny to know that you dance xD~

It's not bad to do this stuff without a partner, right?
 
@DanRasmussen And relaxed healing.. kind of. Its focused around a certain mod, and until I get the official rules for it all, I should probably stay hushed up about the details :)
 
@James Fun stuff. Gonna youtube it?
 
@Michel To really learn, you'll need a partner. My studio doesn't require you to bring a partner.
 
@DanRasmussen Definitely :D
 
@fbueckert sorry ... I miss lead you in my last phrase xD~ I was trying to ask about to bring a girl to start the dance class with you (girlfriend or something like it).
 
7:29 PM
@Michel Eh? You mean, do I bring a girl with me to dance class?
 
@fbueckert Are robots allowed at your dance studio?
 
@OrigamiRobot Only robots that want to be real boys.
 
@fbueckert Ok, let me try with example (give me some pardon today, I'm on overload coffee....) I'm going to start to learn how to dance Tango. It's weird or bad or something not cool to go to the classes to find someone there to dance? Go alone. Go without have a previous partner
 
@fbueckert Sexist!
 
@Michel Depends on the studio.
 
7:32 PM
@fbueckert Hmmmm
 
Some places require you to bring your own partner.
Others don't, but there's no guarantee you'll have anyone to dance with.
 
That's my fear. go to the class and have to practice alone or with the teacher .... or with another guy (so I'll need to play the woman steps or he will have to)
 
@Michel You won't find out if you don't go.
It's worth checking out, at least.
 
Eeyup
 
Most often (at least here), there's more ladies than men.
 
7:35 PM
I need to do some exercise .... I not sure if Kung fu or dance or both... but, work work work beer/party work study work sleep loop isn't good
My friend said the same. more ladies than men. Hope I get a discount =D
ahahahaha
You are from US, right?
 
Dancing is an incredibly great hobby. You get exercise, you get out of the house, and you socialize.
@Michel Nope, Canada.
 
Jin
@fbueckert so what makes it incredible?
 
@fbueckert Sounds great! Except the dancing part.
 
@Jin Kill three birds with one stone?
 
7:38 PM
Almost ... rep cap ... Goddamit.
 
So Zimmerman got acquitted.
Somehow, that doesn't surprise me.
 
@fbueckert From what I know, people were focusing on "Was this due to racism or not?"

Q: Can I safely sell all Misc. items?

badpFallout New Vegas features some items that are more or less obviously useless, like pots or ashtrays or burnt books or cartons or cigarettes or conductors... wait, conductors? That doesn't sound like junk. Most of this stuff is in the Misc section of my inventory; some of them have a specific ic...

 
When they really should be thinking "If dispatch told him not to follow the kid, does that make him the aggressor?"
And I say yes to that.
 
user20683
@OrigamiRobot yeah
 
user20683
7:44 PM
he's a symptom of a broken system
 
Snowden is another symptom of a terribly broken system.
 
Who cares about race? The fact is, someone died because he was being a vigilante.
 
@OrigamiRobot Race was hardly brought up at the trial.
 
@Fluttershy Everything I heard was about race. Regardless, my points stand.
 
The trial was a state trial, racism is a federal issue, so it wasn't brought up.
Although people are trying to have a separate federal trial for the racism part.
 
7:53 PM
@OrigamiRobot Race was the media trial.
 
Again, it doesn't matter. Stand your ground shouldn't apply when he was the one who initiated.
 
From what little I know, I don't think there was any malice on Zimmerman's part. I think he honestly thought he was doing the right thing.
 
@OrigamiRobot I got the same impression.
 
@OrigamiRobot This very much rings true, yes.
 
7:58 PM
This whole case is just a minefield.
Depending on which media source or person you consult they either make zimmerman to be the next Hitler, or the boy who shot to be some punk who beat up old ladies.
 
@OrigamiRobot As far as I understand, who initiated was a significant part of the disagreement about what happened
 
and whichever person is evil, the other one was saint.
 
He saw something suspicious and called 911. That's what he should have done. The problem is 911 told him not to follow the kid and he did anyway.
19 mins ago, by OrigamiRobot
When they really should be thinking "If dispatch told him not to follow the kid, does that make him the aggressor?"
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I don't think this is a case of one person fully being in the right or wrong.
