Q: Black Ops latency problems

CarloHello, let me start by saying that I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, and that it's potentially geographically specific, which could make it prone to be closed; but hopefully, enough people is having my same problem and can get help from this. Back to my question. T...

hello
 
hi there ;)
 
Evenin @tzenes
 
almost morning here.
 
can we kill game-rec yet?
2
 
Soon.
I'm more concerned by the recent wave of Thing-Rec aimed at non-games.
Since most of them feel like endruns around game-rec
 
3:28 AM
It'll be easier to stop the end-runs when we can kill game-rec

Q: What items are needed to build a caddy?

SaintMikeDoes anybody know what items are needed? I can't find the info anywhere yet...

 
hi @Grace♪
 
Hi @tzenes
What's up?
 
not much, just hungry waiting for my food
 
Great job, now I have a mild craving for some food
 
3:40 AM
haha
I ordered Pad Thai
 
Great job, now I have lost my appetite
 
you don't like Pad Thai?
its the most delicious food ever invented... ever
 
In a sense, it makes no sense, but yes, I'm not quite a fan. The seasoning mixtures don't work for me.
 
well that must suck
 
Not really. I eat other food of gods. No need for Pad Thai
 
3:43 AM
you're missing out
Wow, I haven't watched a Zero Punctuation since September
 
Okay, now I don't feel so bad for blitzing through ZP last weekend
 
@GraceNote This is like saying that you dislike the combination of chocolate and peanut butter. It's absolutely inhuman.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm a monster! sob
 
@JavadocMD Yes. yes you are. You should be ashamed of yourself and your lying, wicked tastebuds.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I actually had a Nutella and Peanut Butter sandwich for lunch recently.
If you want inhuman qualities of taste, try the inability to taste sour.
 
3:49 AM
Nutella + Peanut Butter is too fatty for me
 
I'm just going to get a glass of green tea ginger ale, then. That'll be sufficient.
 
tea... water with drowned leafes residu.
 
Man, I know I should be practicing early 2nd expo builds, but right now I just want to play my 360
 
What 360 game?
 
I'm thinking Arkham Asylum
 
3:59 AM
Ahha
 
Are there any good lovecraftian games out there?
I feel like that mythos is kind of ripe
 
@tzenes Eternal Darkness
Please tell me you've played Eternal Darkness. (And yes, I know it's not for the 360, but holy shit that game redefined scary for me.)
 
I have not
food's here
brb
 
i had ordered food too, at 03:00 when it's snowing outside... he even complained that the tip was too high.

well you can open source
just not your anti cheat part
 
10:11 AM
@IvoFlipse Then they could but didn't :)
 
I don't think everything has to be open source to be cool
 
Well
Apparently UT was already half-closed (open ioQuake + closed mod code)

@IvoFlipse > In the outset Guido here assumes a moronitude about the set of Python users and what they are familiar of. Python users 10 years ago are not the same Python users today, and will certainly not be the same 10 years later if you chop off lambda. Things change, math literacy advances, and what users you have changes with what you are. A function is the gist of a mathematical idea embodied in computer languages, not something from LISP or Scheme as tech geekers wont to think.
> The existence of reduce() in Python is probably caused by tech geeking clowns of the computing industry. Basically, nobody really have a clear understanding of mathematics or computing semantics, but every elite tech geeker knew one bag of constructs of various languages. So, you add this, i want that, and the language becomes a incoherent soup of constructs, with the backlash of wanting to chop off things again, with that good things.
etc.
 
what does that have to do with Math.SE?

@CRoss For when you need something between Lunch and Dinner that's a bit more substantial than Tea.
 
ah, ok
 
@CRoss Breakfast, Second Breakfast... don't you mean Early Breakfast, Breakfast?
 
@Brant Which of the new lowbie zones in WoW have you been through?
 
5:09 PM
Second breakfast (or Zweites Frühstück, Drugie śniadanie) is a meal eaten after breakfast, but before lunch. It is traditional in Bavaria, and in Poland. In Bavaria or Poland, special dishes are made exclusively to be eaten during second breakfast. In Vienna and most other parts of Austria the Second Breakfast is referred to as Jause. It is typical to eat four to five meals a day in these locations. Details The second breakfast is typically a lighter meal or snack eaten around 10:30 in the morning. It consists of coffee, pastries such as monkey bread and the like, or some sausages. Th...
 
Also, stay away from Arathi, Dustwallow Marsh, Hinterlands, and Silithus they did jack shit with all of those. Duskwood also had very little done with it, but it was pretty awesome already, and they fixed the annoying back-and-forth issues there, so it gets a pass.
 
I've poked around a bit.
Duskwood has a flight path in the western part of the zone now, so it's way less annoying, but otherwise unchanged.
 
Not only that, but the quest flow in Duskwood is a linear east to west
 
Hillsbrad is completely horde-controlled now, there are no alliance outposts anywhere
 
you don't criss cross back and forth across the zone.
yeah, Hillsbrad is a horde zone - though there is one neutral quest there that you should check out - Plants Vs. Zombies!
 
5:13 PM
Early breakfast is around 7:15 AM, second breakfast is on brunch time.
 
Yeah, I have to check that out... I saw a sunflower pet running through SW and it freaked me the hell out.
 
@Brant It sings!
it's actually voiced by the chick that did the PvZ theme song.
 
@alexanderpas oh, so I was putting second breakfast and brunch right together
 
What zones have actually changed in the 20-30 range?
I'm 23 and my buddy is 22, we're only playing together, but I have a 35 warlock on a different server I used to check out the new WPL.
 
5:14 PM
Alliance side?
 
yeah.
 
Ashenvale
Ashenvale is awesome.
 
the notice board in town gave us ashenvale, duskwood, and... hmm, what was the third one...
 
and you can actually just follow the zone flow south along the east coast of kalimdor and you'll get awesome zones all the way down
probably Wetlands
 
ah yeah, that was it
we went to duskwood, but only did the first set of quests so far
 
5:15 PM
Wetlands is pretty meh.
 
I never liked it
 
Duskwoods not bad at all. because it was always a good zone
and they fixed the annoying running around issues.
but Ashenvale is AWESOME.
 
I've never taken an alliance character past 35 (except for my DK)
 
the advantage of Duskwood is that it sends you into STV
 
Good to know, maybe I'll suggest we go there tonight
 
5:16 PM
and STV is great
 
Man, Silithus was one of my favorite Zones
maybe they're saving that for 4.1
 
the finale in Booty Bay is this massive pirate siege of the city, where you swing on ropes from deck to deck to take out pirate captains.
@tzenes They're not touching Silithus. It's obsolete. By the time you can go there, you can go to Outland.
they cleaned up the terrain and called it a day.
 
The original Silithus (pre-AQ) was apparently pretty lame, but I never saw it
 
@Brant that's because it was just an empty desert placeholder. AQ was planned from day 1.
 
AQ is its own zone now, isn't it?
were there any mobs/npcs there at all?
 
5:18 PM
@Brant Yeah, it has it's on zone map, but that doesn't actually mean anything. it's just a terrain/map thing.
No, just the instance portal and such.
 
hmm, weird.
 
It's just because AQ was never actually on the map.
 
So what will you see if you fly over there now?
 
Even in vanilla it was off the map south of silithus.
 
AQ was awesome and the combined Silithus+AQ was amazing
 
5:19 PM
Pre-shattering it was all empty, inaccessible terrain
just like the area northeast of EPL
 
one of my favorite parts of WoW was the gong race
 
Well, you can't fly over there until next week... but you won't see much. just empty terrain.
 
aw, that sucks, I was hoping they'd do something fun with it.
 
@tzenes Amen. So glad I did the scepter chain before they took it out.
@Brant best thing they did with AQ: They made a bunch of the bosses tamable as hunter pets.
i.e. Huhuran is now tamable.
also Buru.

Q: StarCraft2: Is it true that I won't see completed missions time if I restart a campaign?

5:21 PM
When we heard they were going to close down the last servers which haddn't been gong'd we raced for it on our DK
we wanted a DK with the mount
sadly they killed the race
 
@tzenes I remember that. I had my scepter and was considering transferring for it.
 
would have been quite the day when they opened transfers
 
What was that naturey zone west of thousand needles?
With the island out in the sea where the elite level 60 drakes were that dropped that special meat you need for the scepter quest chain
 
if they ever bring back that mount I may rejoin wow just for that
 
I was looking at the map and that whole island is gone

shocker
 
This is true.
FUCK YOU TURTLE MOUNT.
 
Oh crap it's 10:30, time for second breakfast.
 
my main was an undead mage back in the days of classic
I had two alts with banks full of runecloth ready for the day BC was released so I could get a chocobo mount on day 1
it was awesome
 
That is another one of the rare drops which eludes me. :(
 
5:28 PM
the cloth quartermaster in silvermoon city even had some dialog to the effect of "you're only interested in a hawkstrider, aren't you?"
That was pretty much my crowning moment of WoW glory. I'd been scanning the auction house for months snatching up cheap runecloth
 
wait... when did FF get involved... or does wow now has chocobos too? can't they leave anything alone?
 
@alexanderpas:
 
@alexanderpas WoW has had chocobos since Burning Crusade... almost 4 years now
 
It's a "Hawkstrider"
 
they're the blood elf racial mounts.
^ this one is my bane. It never drops! :(
 
5:33 PM
tragically, however, the black one is cheaper, so you don't look as rich.
 
@Brant All mounts are now the highest speed you have trained.
 
yay!
 
60% mounts travel at 100% speed once you have 100% riding. It's awesome
The day that went in I changed my mount button to a Brown Elekk for a good month.
then I got Invincible, and the urge to show off overcame my urge to ride an awesome elephant
 
@Brant edited
 
Because really, how could you not want to ride this around:
 
5:37 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz the ringbearer?
 
that looks like a sparkle pony without the sparkly bits
 
@Brant It is in fact the same model.
But instead of being sparkly and lame and bought with money, it is skeletal and awesome and earned with blood sweat tears and completion of the most difficult encounter in the game.
 
which is?
 
Heroic Lich King 25.
 
ah
I haven't raided since classic, and I don't really have any desire to anymore
90% of the effort is cat herding and following basic instructions
 
5:42 PM
@Brant Yeah, I definitely wouldn't have the drive to if I wasn't so happy about my raid group.
Basically, it's only interesting if you get to be on the cutting edge these days.
 
I'm willing to accept that player skill can make a difference, but not enough of a difference compared to just finding a bunch of non-idiots.
 
@Brant Depends on the level you're talking about too.
 
If 30%+ of your raid force knows what a spell damage coefficient is, you can probably farm anything in the game
 
It definitely doesn't for 90% of content.
@Brant 90% of it? sure. Anything? No, I'm sorry, but when Blizz wants to make an encounter ball breakingly hard, they absolutely still know how to do that.
 
Alright, I'll take your word for it
Like I said I haven't raided since classic, and we only got halfway through AQ40
(i.e. the easy half)
 
5:46 PM
@Brant The fight that mount drops from? World 1000th kill was just this week. It's been in the game for 9 months.
so, somewhere on the order of 3-4000 people out of 12 million have managed to complete it in 9 months.
 
But most of those 12 million haven't even tried. :)
 
@Brant true enough, but the thing is, the encounter immediately prior to it, Heroic Sindragosa? roughly 7000 kills worldwide.
but yeah, I definitely would not be as engaged or interested if I didn't know I was part of a raid that manages to get stuff down, and thus, onto a shorter schedule quickly.
I could not go back to the days of 5 days a week on Magtheridon.
 
6:30 PM
This is what happens when I get bored at work
 
So what?
 
Not intended to insult, only to amuse.
 
Pretty sure @tzenes beginning his posts with 'So' is basically gaming.se's first homegrown meme.
 
that sql query is probably horribly unoptimized, but writing sql is like pulling teeth so I don't really care
 
6:44 PM
@Brant compare with No
 
oh crap, I just realized there's a problem with that
 
@Brant The query or not caring?
 
it doesn't match "so,"
I wish sql had some kind of regex support.
I need to match "So, yeah" but not "Something"
(... but doing so doesn't actually change the leaderboard, and thus the joke, so I'll let it slide)
 
@IvoFlipse fight the temptation, don't go back!
honestly I haven't been tempted to play WoW at all

Q: In Aliens Vs Predator, how can you play as an Alien or Predator in Multiplayer?

MechkoI got Aliens vs Predator last night and played single player for a while and nearly had a heart attack, so I moved to multiplayer. I was disappointed to find that I could only play as human. Is there something that I have to do in order to unlock either Alien or Predator teams or will it unlock...

 
LIKE is limited to simple wildcards
oh wait, no it isn't.
Eh, who cares, f*** SQL
I have more important things to worry about, like how to wedge authorization logic into a controller without feeling like a horrible person
 
@Brant jQuery!
 
lol, nice edit
 
It is awesome and does all things.
including XML.
 
I'll just use jQuery to construct a client-side modal dialog asking them whether or not they should be allowed to access the ticket they're trying to edit!

Q: Is Vietnam addon for Bad Company 2 a remake of an old BF: Vietnam game?

serg555Is Vietnam addon for Bad Company 2 will be a remake of an original Battlefield: Vietnam game (similar to how BF 1943 was to BF 1942), or it's a completely different game? If it's a remake then what features will be carried over?

 
@LessPop I knew they forked it, but I couldn't remember the name of the new wiki or else I'd have linked to it instead. I'll update the Q.
(And I agree with their decision, f*** Wikia)
Oh wait, you already did, cool.
 
@Brant I fixedededededed it for you already.
Yeah, I fixed yours because 1) It wasn't going to bump it, and 2) the Thassarian article is full of broken citation links on wowwiki
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm pretty sure mods can edit them without bumping the question. Open a meta topic?
 
@Brant Yeah, I'll do that later
at the moment, I'm off to the bronx! later!

Q: What does 'SCV' mean?

TassIt's most likely an acronym, but what does it mean exactly? (In german it's WPF, bonus points for that one).

 
@Feeds is there a [LMGTFY] tag? ;)
 
Pfft, easy rep
 
Easy rep is boring rep.
I prefer to rep up by scooping the unexplored nodules of my brain with a melon baller and serving them up a la carte.

Q: Which brain training and puzzle games for the Nintendo DS don't require quick reactions or dexterity?

tjrobinsonI'm looking for Nintendo DS (specifically the DSi or DS XL) games which might be suitable for somebody who has a disability which prevents them from either reacting quickly or having fine control over the device/stylus. The type of games that are of particular interest are brain training type ga...

Rats, Raven even found the German before I could. That was a bit of a fun scavenger hunt.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Just post on meta about it, Grace fixed the nethack wiki links all by itself :)

@badp itself? dare I ask?
 
@CRoss nobody really knows its sex, many suspect it's a female, but it doesn't actively advertise it
hence, it's easier to just assume it's a robot.
I'm sure it won't mind in the slightest.
 
As far as I'm concerned, most of you folks are probably robots anyway. Or hallucinatory.
 
I use the Wizards of the Coast convention of assuming that arbitrary characters are female
 
@Brant I'm a ninja's shadow, does it count?
 
and I like to believe that at least one person here is female ...
 
9:53 PM
@badp Ninjas don't have shadows. Thus, hallucinatory.
 
@Brant Ninjas do have shadows, but we know their momentum too well.
</bad-pun-of-the-day>
 
@Brant it's all fun and games until solipsism drives you to suicide
 
Oh man, I am really tempted to start a bounty on this question.

Q: Get drive information (free space, etc.) for drives on Windows and populate a memo box

Jim MooreI am trying to get all the information about my hard drives displayed in a memo or some other control so I can see free space and total space on the drives. I know there is a shell call I can use, but cannot figure out the usage. Can anyone give me an example or explain what I am doing wrong?

 
@Brant What would the bounty do, other than highlight the AWESOME
?

Grar don't steal my links! :P

Guys, mind doing a quick test?
Okay, test failed ;)
 
10:49 PM
@WillfulWizard It would prevent the question from being closed...? That's all I can come up with.
 
Yeah, the video kind of falls flat on its face when it mentions copying a bike.
 
A little. But even overlooking that it's just a big straw-man argument against copyright.
Maybe straw-man doesn't quite fit, but it's in that neighborhood... vastly oversimplifying issues... whatever I'm trying to get at.
 
@JavadocMD Well, I guess there's no harm in saying that theft (a crime in the US) and copyright infringement (a civil offense in the US) are different tbh
 
aaah not this discussion again
 
Granted.
 
10:56 PM
why can't we just argue over the superiority of vim vs. emacs like old times
 
Haha
 
10 messages moved from Minecraft Talk
@Brant Because nano wins!
 
(Good move, I'm liking that feature more and more.)
 
Pfft, does this look like the copyright infringement discussion room? This is the BRIDGE!
 
Although now that I think about it it's weird that the posts from the two rooms get chronologically interleaved.
 
10:58 PM
And who the hell turned off the lasers? They're supposed to be charging.
 
I was pretty confused by the lasers, honestly. :)

@badp I don't actually mind. Though, personally, I'd prefer to be acknowledged as a piece of self-propelled artillery instead of a generic 'bot if it has to come to that.

Q: Good Games for 7-Year Old Girl

Dante617It's Christmas time, and I'm looking for any input on games that a 7 year old girl would like. We have a few game systems, so anything on Wii, XBox 360, or Nintendo DS would be good. I'm leaning towards something new on the DS, but am always looking for good recommendations. As for she/we have l...

Q: Hod do I get Tome of Polymorph: Turtle since Cataclysm?

WillfulWizardTurning an enemy into a turtle is an important ability every mage should know. I am playing with a new mage who will soon be needing this critical skill. Unfortunately, I don't have the tome to teach it handy. Before Cataclysm, the tome dropped in the Zul'Gurub, but this raid was removed by the ...
