Q: What does Shadowform do to other classes' Hero powers?

When Shadowform is cast as a Priest, the Hero Ability changes its name from "Lesser Heal" to "Mind Spike" and does 2 or 3 (depending on how often you cast Shadowform) damage instead of healing for 2. The icon also changes from a hand held upwards with dominant yellow and orange tones into a hand ...

@MartinSojka Is it specified, which game?

Trying to find that out now. Probably something "AAA" with good marketing and presales.

Kevin van der Velden

@badp we had a whole discussion about that yesterday =p

badp

@MartinSojka why, of course there is

The only surprising part is that Infestation: Survivor Stories scored that low.

The game got advertised pretty heavily in the last two seasonal sales of Steam's.

I'm happy they still didn't reach the 1 million sales mark.

REMINDER: LOWEST PC GAMES METACRITIC SCORES EVER

25 Terminator 3: War of the Machines, Call for Heroes: Pompolic Wars,
Stalin vs. Martians, The Apprentice
24 Terrawars: New York Invasion, Postal III
23 FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction, Utopia City, Dragon's Lair 3
22 Hooters Road Trip, BlackSoul, Gettysburg: Armored Warfare, Beauty Factory, Winter Sports 2012: Feel the Spirit
20 Citadels, Infestation: Survivor Stories, Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust
19 Gods and Generals
18 Navy SEALs: Weapons of Mass Destruction, Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny

metacritic.com/browse/games/release-date/available/pc/…

I'm fairly certain that if Big Rigs sold on steam, it'd sell like hot cakes

and yes, that other dot to the side must be Ride to Hell: Retribution

Martin Sojka

I was just starting to think "WTH, Realms of Arkania?" ... but then I realised someone released a crap remake recently. Which I better forget again quickly.

badp

The list with all platforms is a little more varied

still, Big Rigs is the proud owner of the only single-digit score.

Surprisingly enough, 2nd place is taken by the Wii U!

Q: How to disable the trace shown on the runway?

I do not usually follow the route indicated by the game. In fact, it disturbs me, I can not concentrate on track with that annoying indication of braking. Is there any way to disable the trace indicated? I looked at all the options and did not find a way to disable this boredom.

Whenever I start, I can get a friendly status from the Thalexians, Peltians and Andorians. However to start the federation you need them to have at least 80-90 relation with each other.

Krazer

@GnomeSlice digitalshadow.com

Ben Brocka

@Sterno I assume you have to be the sort of person already taking billions of pictures of yourself/junk to be into snapchat

Krazer

@Sterno the main appeal is probably lightweight interaction, and low performance anxiety

Ben Brocka

1:35 PM

Impressive

Krazer

you see, Snapchat's time limits make snaps more engaging (a bit like twitter's character limits). Since snaps disappear seconds after they are opened, users feel comfortable sending spontaneous and personal messages that they would not want ingrained into digital histories.

Ben Brocka

@Krazer I don't really feel the "low performance anxiety" myself

Kevin van der Velden

@BenBrocka fancy

Ben Brocka

@KevinvanderVelden no most of them are github.com/IonicaBizau/I-love-GitHub not quite abuse, but most of the green is just commits there

@BenBrocka ooh I didn't see that

I thought they were mostly well timed legit commits

Krazer

1:38 PM

@BenBrocka Lets take the aspect of Snapchat involving no comments... as far as I can tell, the only way to reply is to send another snapchat. The expected behavior is to just post whatever you happen to be doing at the moment, making the interaction a bit like like Twitter without having to bother to actually write anything

@BenBrocka Yeah, but the thing says "cleaning" on it, or am I seeing it wrong?

@5pike I think it might produce a test pattern

Maybe. It's hard to read the lower line

Ben Brocka

Yeah, it might be some weird cash in product or I don't know. I never had to clean carts until my earliest GBA carts started getting some corrosion. And I found an abandoned NES with lots of neglected carts

Even with a perfect cart the front loading NES is trash at actually loading games though

@KevinvanderVelden Some things shouldn't have made it out of QA though, like the NES's CORNERS

Origami Robot

When the power button on my Sega Genesis stopped latching, we used folded pokemon cards to wedge it down.

Ben Brocka

Or games post-Dual Shock that used analog, but not for camera control (in games with a "free" camera)

GnomeSlice

Ben Brocka

Early 3D was so rife with awful controls. Sorta understandable on N64, less so on PS1

5pike

@BenBrocka Early Ps1 didn't have sticks...

Ben Brocka

2:12 PM

Also it seemed super weird the Dreamcast came out without dual analog at the time

@5pike came out only a couple years after release, were barely used (properly) until the PS2

I never even had a stickless PS1 controller

5pike

@BenBrocka Lucky you

Ben Brocka

Agreed, that thing looked awful

5pike

Those things are a nightmare to hold

Origami Robot

I preferred the stickless controllers at the time.

Ben Brocka

I didn't know the stickless existed at the time so I had no idea why there was an "analog" button or why most games totally ignored them

I never had any games that really used the analog sticks so they were just in the way.

Cosplay

, short for "costume play", is a performance art or hobby in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea that is usually identified with a unique name. Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture centered on role play. A broader use of the term cosplay applies to any costumed role play in venues apart from the stage, regardless of the cultural context. Favorite sources include manga, anime, comic books, video games, and films. Any entity from the real or virtual world that lends itself to dramatic interpretation may be taken up as a ...
