@murgatroid99 Why would they have access to your social security number?
or your mother's maiden name
or the bank account number even?
 
> What would you like to see in a Shadow of Mordor 2?
 
that's never sent in full via email if you're using a credible bank
 
I would like to see that never being made
Because it shouldn't be made
 
@Brian My mother's maiden name is the name she uses. My SS number is probably in the mountain of mail somewhere
 
I HAVE NOW CLOSED MY ZOO TAB
 
5:01 PM
@Brian why does your credit card company even has access to these?
 
@Unionhawk ... WHAT?
 
@Arperum You have to provide them when you create the account.
 
In Canada, it would be illegal for a credit card company to request your SIN.
 
@OrigamiRobot It should not be made, not because it wasn't good, but because there's no room for it to be made from a story perspective
afaic
 
Employers and government only.
 
5:02 PM
@Unionhawk I DON'T CARE BOUT NO STORY
 
Well, there was no room for the first one from a story perspective...
 
no way to edit a pastebin?
 
@OrigamiRobot Well I do.
 
but Thing #1: Don't make the final boss a quicktime event
 
@Unionhawk story from the evil guy perspective?
 
5:03 PM
@Sconibulus Did a game do that? O.o
 
@Sconibulus Agree.
@Brian Yes.

Q: Where can I see my purchase history?

skovacs1I have many games that I've redeemed on the xbox live marketplace (thanks in large part to the Games with Gold program), but I have not downloaded these items so they are not in my "download history" or "my games" on my console. I want to keep track of the content I have access to, but I cannot f...

 
@Brian Some do that, yes
 
I'd like to see another game use the Nemesis system but not set in LotR.
 
Yes.
That.
 
5:03 PM
I DON'T CARE WHERE IT'S SET, GIMME MORE NEMESIS
 
Nemesis was really cool, I wish branding wasn't a thing though
 
SHADOW OF MLP, W/E
6
 
or, at least it should have been harder to brand
 
SHADOW OF DORA THE EXPLORER
 
@OrigamiRobot I... huh
 
5:05 PM
PUT THE NEMESIS SYSTEM IN A SPORTS GAME AND I WILL PLAY IT
 
@OrigamiRobot Dora drops down from the top of a belltower onto Map, ripping him in half with her hand-scythe in one smooth motion.
 
wtf is the point of "Get Higher Prices" upgrade? It just made my meerkats more expensive
 
@Chippies You can also sell them for more.
 
@Chippies they also sell for more
 
@OrigamiRobot Shadows of Blood Bowl!
 
5:07 PM
@5pike yeah, but it's not much of an upgrade if it makes buying them more expensive...
I suppose useful when you have a steady birth rate
 
@Chippies You really only have to buy some small seed amount, and then they will become self-sustaining.
 
@Chippies when you get them to breed, you don't need to buy them
 
@5pike DID YOU LOSE POWER?
WHY ARE YOU IN THE DARK NOW?
 
@OrigamiRobot Hmm.. Seems like it changed the transparent background to black

Q: Company of Heroes 2: Can same faction play against each other in multiplayer?

Andreas M.I thinking about buying company of heroes 2. I have played company of heroes 1. There it was not possible to play with same faction against in other in multiplayer (e.g. germans vs. germans.) So is it possible in Company of Heroes 2?

 
5:10 PM
one problem i have with incremental games and clickers is I have a decently loud mouse...
 
@StrixVaria I'd love to see a game with the Nemesis system which is more challenging then SoM. I feel like it would really shine in a difficult game.
 
@Wipqozn Dark Souls + Nemesis?
 
@Wipqozn Yes.
 
@StrixVaria Yes.
 
@Wipqozn The bosses you're required to kill on a given playthrough change depending on your early-game actions.
 
5:13 PM
@StrixVaria ... WANT.
 
@StrixVaria That would be awesome.
 
@Yuuki Do you own Fantasy life?
 
@Wipqozn Yeah.
 
@Yuuki Thoughts on it?
 
5:16 PM
@StrixVaria MAYBE IF YOU GAVE IT A NON-TERRIBLE COMBAT SYSTEM
 
@Wipqozn It's pretty fun.
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh you
 
The way they did gathering is probably one of the best points of this game.
Instead of just finding a resource node and mashing A, there's actually different ways of harvesting.
 
Interesting.
 
I think the gameplay of shadow in that it was assassin's creed gameplay was nice. It did get easy once you got used to it.
 
5:18 PM
For mining, you circle around the node to find a weak point. Mining at the weak point does more "damage".
Which means you harvest faster.
And getting the final hit on a weak point means a greater chance of getting more resources or rarer resources.
 
@Yuuki That;s really cool.
 
Not to mention, you can employ different abilities other than just basic mining.
 
I've been thinking about picking it up.

Q: Company of Heroes 2: How is the balance between factions?

Andreas M.My expirience with Company of Heroes 1: german faction nerfed more and more with every patch. American and British artilery made the game no fun anymore. That was the reason I stopped playing CoH 1. How is it in CoH 2?

 
Like, you can use up a larger amount of stamina to use a skill called Ore Breaker, which does a lot of "damage" and increases drops if it's the final hit on a resource node.
Fishing is also pretty fun.
I haven't done Woodcutting yet though.
My only problem with Fantasy Life right now is that there's apparently DLC which may or may not be useful.
 
5:21 PM
I think I might pick it up once I finish with Styx, which could be a while, due to books existing.
 
But I can't get it because I'm actually using my sister's 3DS while mine's busted and I'm waiting on the NN3DS.
But lack of DLC hasn't really been hurting my experience so far.
 
HI CHAT
 
@Yuuki That sucks.
 
@Wipqozn The good thing is that the DLC apparently mostly post-game content.
 
@Yuuki did it get a NA release date yet?
 
5:23 PM
@Rapitor Nope.
I'm really hoping for a release before MH4U though.
If it's not announced by February, I'll probably just pick up another XL.
 
So, Seabeard is pretty great.
 
i don't even want an XL.. but when i checked the nintendo site it seems thats all they do now
 
The fact that I can trace back completely unfamiliar code to find some very specific information quicker than my server admin can yank MAC addresses saddens me.
 
@Yuuki It has multiplayer too. Cool.
 
XL is the way to go. I wish I had an XL
 
5:27 PM
@Wipqozn Yes. You should get it so I can multiplayer.
@Unionhawk I had an XL. And then it borked.
 
@Wipqozn And randomized armor rewards, to really keep us going!
 
@Yuuki Yeah, mmultiplayer seals it.
Zeus damn it @Yuuki, making me spend money!
 
@Frank Fantasy Life, not MH4U.
 
I also blame @Frank, just for good measure.
 
@Yuuki You were talking about MH4U!
 
5:29 PM
@Unionhawk too big and clunky
 
@Frank I mentioned MH4U in context of waiting on the NN3DS.
In that my willingness to wait for the release is largely dependent on when it is in relation to MH4U's release date.
 
I'm thinking the bundle is going to make it's way over here; there's no reason for it not to.
 
Seriously though. It's already been announced for Australia. Why not just give us a release date already? I don't care if it's next year, I need a time!
 
@Frank Fire him!
 
@Frank Not gonna get the bundle since I already pre-ordered the Collector's Edition.
 
5:31 PM
@Powerlord Can't; our company makes firing people harder than unions do.
 
@Frank I read that "than unicorns do"
 
@Yuuki Well, if the bundle comes out here, the standalone 3DS should come out, too.
 
@Frank Yeah, I'm just really annoyed at not having a date.

Q: Stuck in a room without a pickaxe

Someguy112161I have gone through many battles, slain countless enemies, farmed bosses, and gotten to hardmode. Now I'm faced with my greatest challenge... a square room. I have somehow thrown my only pickaxe through a wall and trapped myself. I have my door blocked off with bricks, and I don't have any expl...

 
If we don't have a release date by the time Australia actually ships theirs, I'm gonna be all kinds of angry.
I'd say it's in large part due to Smash, but I think that report's for Q2.
TL;DR Nintendo's profits for Q2 are much higher than expected.
 
5:35 PM
Mario Kart and Smash.
 
Yay, @Rapitor, someone who agrees with me
 
@Unionhawk I'm gonna say just Mario Kart.
 
Handhelds should be portable
 
The report's too early for Smash to have a significant effect.
 
And for some people (or just my brother) Bayo 2
 
5:36 PM
@OrigamiRobot If it fits in my pocket, it's portable.
 
@Unionhawk Again, too early to have a significant effect.
 
The XL is a brick
 
@OrigamiRobot what am i agreeing about?
 
@Unionhawk I plan on picking that up one of these days.
 
@Unionhawk Q2 is April, May, June.
 
5:37 PM
Meh
 
Smash and Bayonetta 2 have no effect on this earnings report.
 
The XL doesn't fit in my pocket
 
Which probably means the profits for Q4 are going to be ridiculous.
 
@OrigamiRobot Pockets? That insinuates pants...
 
5:40 PM
it is nice to see WiiU finally catching some steam, but I still don't think it will be enough for big AAA third party to develop for it
 
@Batophobia Not necessarily. My pajamas have pockets.
And a few of my shirts.
 
which means much like the Wii, it will be pretty much Nintendo and really crappy shovelware

Q: Is there a legal way to play Mario on PS2?

Jas 3.1I have a PS2 and want to play the classic Mario games on it. I know the PS2 is a Sony product and Mario is a Nintendo product, but that doesn't answer my question because I have seen some non-Sony games made for PS2. So, I am wondering if they made a Mario game for PS2? When I googled "PS2 Mari...

 
@Batophobia Sometimes I wear pants. Doesn't mean i like it.
 
@Lazers ಠ_ಠ
 
5:43 PM
@OrigamiRobot pants are only good for carrying stuff in pockets
 
@Chippies I'm modest.
 
> Divide 30 by half and add ten. What do you get?
Half of what?
 
@OrigamiRobot a half, so 70
 
If you're going to ask trick questions, at least ask them right.
@KevinvanderVelden It doesn't say a half
It just says half.
 
5:48 PM
Meh
 
@OrigamiRobot NaN
 
I could very well argue that it's saying "divide 30 by half (of 30) and add ten"
@StrixVaria NaNten
 
@OrigamiRobot similar to saying split a cookie in/by half i guess?
 
I gogle PS2 mario and found this:
 
No, the joke is supposed to say "a half"
 
5:51 PM
it seems that today TF2 is taking a liking for making me stay in team Needs A Miracle And A Half To Win
 
@badp Playing on Valve servers?
 
@Powerlord the only ones with rd_asteroid
 
Oh yeah, I never did finish my balancing and scramble plugin.
I got caught up with other plugins, like fixing the SM MapChooser (and my own version of it)
 
> If a doctor gives you 3 pills and tells you to take one pill every half hour, how long would it be before all the pills had been taken (in hrs)?
 
@OrigamiRobot One hour.
 
5:53 PM
Incomplete information.
 
@OrigamiRobot Do you take one immediately?
 
Does not say when to start.
 
An hour from when you take the first pill
 
@MBraedley That's the missing information, yes.
 
> If you had only one match and entered a COLD and DARK room, where there was an oil heater, an oil lamp, and a candle, which would you light first?
^ This one does not work when you have a dropdown box for answers
> Take 2 apples from 3 apples. What do you have?
 
5:54 PM
@OrigamiRobot probably the match?
 
Depends on who owns the original 3 apples
 
@OrigamiRobot i didnt know apples could own other apples
 
@Rapitor Correct
 
@Rapitor Even better
 
Picking apart riddles is fun. Post some more for us to mock.
 
5:56 PM
i love me some riddles
 
@OrigamiRobot Kleptomania.
 
@Wipqozn The rest of the ones on this page are worded correctly
 
in highschool 12th grade english pretty much all we ever did was exchange riddles
 
I know one kitten who is going to be sleeping in the garage starting tonight.
 
@Arperum Is it @James?
 
5:57 PM
@OrigamiRobot D:
 
The kitten that peed all over my shoes multiple times today while I was at work, did so again when I was home, ignored the litter that was 2m away. ANd destroyed a garbage bin while I was cleaning his mess up...
@OrigamiRobot It is Pixel. And I'm majorly annoyed at him now.
 
2 miles seems like too far for a litter box.
 
@Arperum are you unaware that cats are assholes?
 
@OrigamiRobot your silly miles are of no use here, 2 meter.
 
What kind of meter?
 
6:00 PM
@Rapitor he can be an asshole to my bike tonight. or to the woodpile.
@OrigamiRobot How many kinds do you know?
 
Flow, Temperature, Pressure, Level, etc
 
@OrigamiRobot Parking
 
Electricity
Water
 
@OrigamiRobot You're trolling.
 
I thought that was obvious when I started talking about miles
 
6:01 PM
You overdid it.
 
I'll overdo you!
 
I need 900 @wipqozns
That's 900 too many

Q: What arcade game can two players play against each other remotely?

Joshua FoxThis questions seems simple, but for some reason it seems nearly impossible to find a remote two-player game. I'd like to play a game with a friend in another country. It can be any casual arcade game. I know how to set up BZFlag or Minetest, but the need to open a part on the router makes it ve...

 
@StrixVaria Worst incremental ever
 
6:02 PM
@Rapitor Some of us don't cheat.
 
@StrixVaria i didnt cheat for the first like 3 hours.
thats the limit of my attention span if the game doesnt do anything new in that time
 
Pretty sure he was saying "Why would you ever [need that many @Wipqozns]"

@OrigamiRobot That is what I was answering. I don't even know what other interpretation there could be...
 
robot understands me
 
6:06 PM
So, I have to go to the DMV after work today. What are the chances that Valve releases the TF2 update and it breaks SourceMod during the time I'm there? I'm guessing 99.999999999999%
 
@Powerlord hl3 will come out by the time you get out of the dmv
 
You know what, I'm just going to shut down my server now and remove SourceMod (and re-enable voting).
That way, my server ends up being the first back online post-update
 
@StrixVaria OK, I was confused as to why you brought up cheating.
I thought maybe you were reading "Why would you ever [keep playing that long]"
CARRY ON
 
@OrigamiRobot well that's pretty valid too....
 
Uh, wtf? Why did my TF2 server startup in PropHunt mode post server reboot?
I updated the crontab not that long ago

Q: I'm new to Hearthstone - Is it normal to fight players with lots of legendaries?

Mark GabrielIt frustrates me that whenever I go to play, it seems like 80% of my opponents have legendaries like Kel'Thuzad, the card that gives you dream cards, or that 8/8 card that doesn't attack but deals 8 damage to a random enemy. (I'm not good with the names yet. Again, I'm new.) They all have those,...

Q: What is each ore worth

philipI have been playing pocket mine and I have noticed the ores don't seem to have a logical order in value e.g. Iron is more valuable than gold. So I have been wondering, what is the value of each ore?

A: Should we include the game title in questions?

JaydlesYou should include the game in the question title anytime it's needed to determine if you would want to read the question. Titles should be stand-alone summaries of questions without depending on tags. Some key points from that post: we should never force a tag into a title if it's not ...

At least to explain his thought process, not that it's definitely decided.
 
@Powerlord Jaydles keeps doing it every now and then. I think it's rather annoying.
 
@StrixVaria There's a reason that your answer there has twice the votes his does
 
@murgatroid99 Just providing context.
 
6:21 PM
@murgatroid99 I feel like going around and rolling all his edits back. But editwarring is bad.
 
@Arperum yeah, I don't think its' bad enough to roll back.
 
@murgatroid99 But it might make our point though, he keeps doing it, even after he's gotten loads of flak about it every single time...
 
One could argue that it sends mixed signals, but meh
 
@Arperum But it's not about him. I wouldn't edit that title to remove the game name, and that's sufficient reason to not roll back
Remember, this site is about the content, not the user
 
6:24 PM
@murgatroid99 True.
 
urmom is a site
 
@OrigamiRobot That doesn't even make sense as a response to what I said
 
thatsthejoke.jpg
 
It should be something like "urmom is about the content"
 
But his frequent "in game X" adding to titles is getting on my nerves. I wish we could do something to it.
 
6:25 PM
No, the more absurd, the better
 
@Yuuki deargodwhy
 
@Arperum He doesn't seem to do it that much
 
@murgatroid99 But most of his edits are exactly that.
 
@Arperum maybe half of them are
 
6:28 PM
@murgatroid99 It was pretty organic this time, but if he adds more "in X" to titles I might kick up meta drama at that time.
 
He's done it only 5 times in the past year. It's not that much
 
@StrixVaria Needs more Wipqozn
 
I WONDER WHAT @Sterno WOULD HAVE TO SAY ABOUT @murgatroid99'S ATTEMPTS AT DRAMA SUPPRESSION
 
@murgatroid99 your mom has only done it 5 times in th epast year
OH BUUURRRNNNN
Take that @OrigamiRobot!
@OrigamiRobot He'd probably be very mad, and say something about us damn teenagers.
 
BURN, ME!
 
6:31 PM
@Arperum Actually, he's only done it 10 times ever. That's not worth drama
 
Also I agree with @murgatroid99. I don't think it's a big deal.
If it got to a point it was a problem I'd just ask him about it in chat. Wouldn't really be any need to make a meta over it.
 
@Wipqozn A meta was made, and doing it was agreed to be not done.
I have to agree that this current edit improved the post and title. So I can't say anything about it now.
 
@Arperum Despite what I said earlier, 1/3 agreed with him. That's not enough unanimity to completely reject all such edits
 
Let's not forget that it's weird to make arguments about SEO when 2014 has been the disastrous year it's been
 
> This isn't to say that the game name should never be in the title question. But you shouldn't be adding the game name to the title just to add the game name to the title. You should have some other compelling reason to do it, as outlined in Jaydles's answer.
From @StrixVaria's answer.
If it really bothers you so much then all you really need to do is ask him about it in chat. He seems like a pretty rad guy.
 
6:35 PM
@Wipqozn Does he say "tubular"?
 
@Yuuki I have no idea.

Q: Identify series of books about a kid and older man who fight supernatural creatures

SternoI originally read these books in the late-80s. I believe, but am not sure, that new novels in the series were still coming out at that time. They were full novels, and there was a series of them. At least three, but probably more. The hardcovers had spooky looking hand-drawn cover art, which was...

If I have a function named toggleActivation and I pass a userid for first arg and bool for second arg (and pass false for it), "User does not exist or is already active." is not an appropriate error
I know they're active, which is why I'm telling this proc to disable them.
 
And even if you passed true and they were already active, why report an error? Just say "Yup, dude, they're totally active."
Clearly, your userId must be wrong
