Is it like a nonce word?
 
The diamond just trumps all those restrictions
 
@Mana ZOMBIE CANCER.
highfive
 
@GnomeSlice nonono, nunce word
 
@Mana ?
 
It isn't, anyway, it's just random Japanese
 
3:00 PM
@GnomeSlice PEW PEW KABOW BLAOWIE
 
@GraceNote Yeah, I know. I didn't realize that is how a suspension work. Once you told me that it makes sense why mods are not affected by the suspension.
 
@GraceNote Mana started it!
 
@Wipqozn Well, there's more than just the reputation aspect
 
DOCTOR, WE NEED YOUR HELP DIFFUSING THIS ATOM BOMB!
 
Oh my, my first famous question badge
14
Q: Is it possible to sell stolen items?

WipqoznI recently discovered the average shopkeeper is unwilling to buy stolen goods (how they know they are stolen, I do not know). Is there anyway for me to sell stolen items, without making use of the console?

 
3:01 PM
Reputation to 1 is more of a side effect, which is why it still happens to moderators
 
@Wipqozn You're golden, Ponyboy.
Oh man...I'm becoming a living breathing machine who spews out pop culture references all day. It's awful.
 
I'm going to claim responsibility for that badge by claiming that you wouldn't even get 1/10th as many views if I hadn't corrected the typo in the title
 
@Mana You've become a monster.
 
So on that note...
 
@GraceNote Fair enough.
 
3:02 PM
@Mana Wasn't that pop culture, like 10 years ago?
 
@Wipqozn You wouldn't even get 1/10th as many views if I hadn't corrected the typo in the title!
 
@GraceNote you're going to remove my badge?!?
 
@GraceNote Well played.
 
@GraceNote Clever girl.
 
@Mana I'm a gamer. Playing is what I do best.
 
3:04 PM
@Wipqozn Yeah, I was mistaken about that for over a year too.
@RonanForman Your turn.
 
I'm still confused as to where that became a mistake.
 
@GraceNote Well, your avatars are all female. That might have been it.
 
And your name is Grace.
 
I'm asking why it's considered a mistake
 
I think you guys are misreading the sentence
 
3:06 PM
@GraceNote Aren't you... male?
I think we need to just come right out and ask.
 
@GnomeSlice Says who?
 
Because this is getting ridiculous.
 
I mean, you're allowed to think I am male just as much as Wipqozn is allowed to think I'm female. That is rather how it all works.
 
@GraceNote I thought I read somewhere that your name was 'Chris'? And last time I brought it up you said you get mistaken a lot.
 
Oh come on, does it really matter?
 
3:08 PM
@GraceNote Oh, I no longer think you are female. I'm fairly confident you are male, but I simply don't care.
 
@GnomeSlice Chris isn't only a guy's name, you know
 
@Mana Yes, because I like to know how to address people.

Q: Do I need to purchase the Online Pass even though I bought it new?

FallenAngelEyesWhen I went to check out the co-op play option but it says that I haven't purchased the Online Pass and therefore cannot use it. I know that online passes have become more popular in the past year and often require a separate purchase if you buy the game used/secondhand, but so far the precedent ...

 
@GraceNote On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.
 
@GraceNote I know, but I thought I'd mentioned it before, and you said you were... this is confusing.
 
3:08 PM
But in the end, it doesn't matter. I don't care whether people call me he or she. What I do care is people trying to correct other people when they don't have any clearer a picture
@GnomeSlice I have not confirmed my sex at any point.
 
@GraceNote Can you confirm it now? I always feel awkward when I address you because I'm unsure.
x_x
 
@GnomeSlice @GraceNote is a robot. We've already discussed this.
 
silly Gnome.
 
gaming.stackexchange.com/tags/skyrim/topusers Do Raven and Mark still have some social life?
 
@Mvy Yes! Raven does, anyways.
 
3:11 PM
@Lazers @FallenAngelEyes I'm surprised it wasn't in the box.
 
@Mvy Is that rep, or questions/answers?
 
@GnomeSlice No, I don't really have any intention of confirming it.
 
Well Raven has only 29 answers
but still.
 
@Mana yeah, raven is spending his days making woman think he is gay
 
@Powerlord what's in the booooox
 
3:11 PM
@GnomeSlice Number of votes on answers, then answers
 
@Wipqozn OOH. OOOOOOOH.
 
@Wipqozn Fair enough, just be prepared to experience confused messages.
 
Grr, stupid google
 
So Mark is 290 score across 64 answers while Raven is 276 score across 30 answers
 
@Powerlord Yeah, I detail further past the oneboxing that all that's in the box is the code for the Professor Genki DLC. :/
 
3:12 PM
@Powerlord I knew you were going to link that
 
My personal text I always tell people who ask me if their sex/race/nationality/religion/... can be a problem: I don't care about your gender. I don't give a damn where you come from. I couldn't care less about what you believe in, or if you believe in anything at all. Your skin, eye or hair colour, your preferred clothing, your background and so on - I don't need to know it. I care about you, a person, a friend. Nothing else matters.
2
 
@GraceNote Wait, it means he's voted on 290 answers?
 
@GnomeSlice Knew it.
 
@RonanForman Sorry man. Good game, anyway. You're fun to play with.
Want to do the third game, just for fun?
 
@RonanForman Also Grace is called Grace because of a ship, not because of any particular leaning towards one gender or another
 
3:13 PM
@GnomeSlice Because I suck?
 
@GnomeSlice No, it means that the number of times he has been voted on is 290 net
 
@MartinSojka stars
 
@MartinSojka This is precisely why I don't reveal it - it isn't a problem and it isn't necessary for interaction.
 
@RonanForman No, because you're talk-to-able and easy going.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Not a grace note? As in the musical term?
 
3:14 PM
aaand afk again
@RonanForman Yes, related to that
 
@RonanForman The ship is named after the musical term. The R-9DH GRACE NOTE is named after the sound its cannon makes while firing.
 
now flees
 
@GraceNote But it's awkwarrrrrrrrrrrrrd. I always feel weird trying to guess which one, because I might be offending someone.
 
@GnomeSlice If calling @GraceNote the wrong gender offended her, then he would tell us.
 
@GnomeSlice I enjoy being called by both sets of pronouns. I actually prefer people to stick with one than to use weird "neutral" pronouns like xe/xir
 
3:16 PM
@GraceNote I didn't even know those existed.
 
@GnomeSlice Don't ask "Which gender do you have?" but "How would you like me to refer to you, as 'he', 'she' or something else?"
 
@MartinSojka Good idea. @Gracenote, how should I refer to you?
 
I told tzenes and others this long ago, but outside of here, there are two communities I have been participant to. One is thoroughly and utterly convinced I am a girl, the other is thoroughly and utterly convinced I am a guy. Neither community will listen to me when I protest, so really, it doesn't matter.
@GnomeSlice Use whatever pronoun you feel most comfortable using.
 
@GraceNote I don't really feel comfortable with either. I'm too polite for my own good.
 
@GnomeSlice Use "it" then
 
3:18 PM
No...
 
What do you default to when referring to a placeholder?
 
@GnomeSlice Not really, heh, but we'll go with that.
 
@Mana I am when people earn/deserve it.
You stupid cock.
 
@GnomeSlice If you were too polite for your own good the obvious thing to do in this situation is to stop bugging her about it lol
now get over it and let's move on to a different subject
please.
 
@Mana How about dem hatz!
 
3:20 PM
@Mana The serious and charming aspect of that ultimatum is utterly diminished by the ending. It's like how completely Zeromus' ending speech was ruined because he says "puff" at the end.
2
 
Two days to MineCon!
 
> Good will never triumph as long as evil exists in the hearts of people puff
 
@Mana BITCH
 
@GraceNote I had to put it in terms that GnomeSlice would understand. Ooooooh...that was mean. I'm sorry.
 
@Mana Yes, like what someone's going to make me to eat this morning. Ideal conversation, really.
 
3:21 PM
Has anyone seen todays extra credts?
 
@TimStone Someone's making you eat hats for breakfast? Ouchu
 
Oh, and a damn patent issue is delaying the Doom 3 source code release. :(
 
That doesn't sound very tasty, I hope not. Although I wouldn't be surprised if there was a waffle hat, so it might work out.
 
@RonanForman Diablo III one?
 
I hate to be really annoying about this, but have you guys voted for me today?
 
@RonanForman No, I didn't. :)
 
Oak
I really hope Diablo 3 gets delayed until like June, I have important things to do in my life until then...
 
@Mana No, that was very sweet of you.
No homo.
 
Why does it start playing earlier than the link?
 
@RonanForman Is it bad that I saw the thumbnail and thought "Haruhi dance" ?
 
3:32 PM
@Powerlord Probably not, that's pirate Hitler on the right. It's an important plot point.
 
So, my profile is now useful for those not on stack exchange! I've uploaded the outline for my the final exam to one of my courses.

Q: Is there any way to see numbers for weapon upgrades in Saints Row: The Third?

FallenAngelEyesSaints Row: The Third has introduced an upgrade system for the weapons. Paying extra cash allows you to upgrade to various levels (I've so far seen 4; I don't know if there's more), but it only has descriptions for its upgrades rather than numbers. For example, in order to upgrade my 45 Shepherd...

Q: Melee Combat: Heavy Armor vs. Light Armor

Q: How to get past the stone head in Karthspire?

Ivo FlipseI'm in a room in Karthspire with this huge head. There aren't any obvious things to trigger except for several plates on the ground about the location where my character is located in the following figure. Any ideas on how to get past this room?

 
Oak
Surprise! More Skyrim questions.
 
@RonanForman Not quite sure what to say to that.
 
Oak
3:33 PM
Oh wait
There's a saints-row one there :)
 
@Oak @Lazers is slowly learning.
 
whooooo cheers on @FallenAngelEyes, saving the site from Skyrim
 
@GnomeSlice You said "No homo" I link to "ALL THE HOMO!"
Thank you.
 
Oak
Also grats @Fallen for the 10k
 
Whoops, I just realized there was an error in the bracket.
 
3:37 PM
@Oak Deja vu
murders all the accents
 
Fixing now.
 
Oak
@Mana ?
 
@Mana That's racist.
 
@Oak Raven posted this yesterday and it also got starred
 
If flag that post, but apparently you're above the law anyways.
 
Oak
3:38 PM
@Mana oh
 
@Mana Then why did you star it.
 
Oak
I swear, have the time in chat I can't follow any conversion, not even my own. I think I'm becoming too old for chat. I think I need to fall back to e-mails only.
 
@GnomeSlice SO MUCH HATRED FLOWS THROUGH THESE VEINS.
 
Amazon's buy one, get one 50% off sale on some of the recent popular titles, for anyone who hasn't seen it/already bought all of the games.
 
Hmm... dropbox.com seems to be down.
@TimStone You may be interested in this as well.
 
3:40 PM
@GnomeSlice No its not.
 
@RonanForman It's working now. It was down like a minute ago though.
 
I may indeed, thanks
 
For everyone else, there's a giant sale on over at showmethegames.com.
 
@TimStone I saw it, but decided against it for now.
If I wait 6 months, half of those games will be half price with no strings attached. :P
 
Bracket updated, and fixed.
 
3:44 PM
True. But if I'm going to stock up to waste away my holiday season I figure I might as well pay a bit less. :P
 
has a large stock already with new items still coming in
Is it only Wednesday today?
 
@TimStone You should check out Helena the 3rd, which you can get for as little as $1 since it's pay-what-you-want.
 
Guys! I'm finally getting paid!
\o/
 
@RavenDreamer Congra... wait, p aid?
 
@Powerlord Of the two, I'd take either.
 
3:51 PM
You know, the fact that I can't bold specific letters ruins that joke.
 
;P
@Powerlord Wait. Why is Suzumiya Haruhi in the starred list?
 
@RavenDreamer Not sure why you're asking me, I posted it, I didn't star it.
 
So why did you post it?
 
@RavenDreamer It's awesome?
That's also why I starred it.
 
@Wipqozn have you challenged @KevinY yet?
 
3:56 PM
@GnomeSlice No, like I said, I won't be able to do that till today.

Q: Whats the point of cooking food?

yx.The amount of health restored is quite low compared to the hassle of getting the ingredients. Is cooking tied in any way to a skill so the health benefits become better later on? Finally, is it possible to add poison to cooked food?

 
@Lazers Not sure this is a good fit for the site. What do you think @Mana?

Q: In Dragon age 2, how do I get rid of the 40% damage cap on elites?

karthinkPatch 1.03 for Dragon Age 2 did this silly thing where any single attack against elite enemies (lieutenants, mages, saarebas, rage demons, etc) is artificially capped at 40% of their health. This means that however I spec my dual wielding rogue, I can never kill them in a single hit. (I can do up...

Q: Is there any way I can prevent my own Manapult from sucking me into it?

FallenAngelEyesI received the Manapult truck as part of the Professor Genki DLC. However, running around and sucking up helpless citizens and shooting them as cannonballs tends to raise your notoriety with the police pretty fast. I was pulled from my truck and when I ran around in front of it during the firefig...

 
If Saints Row 3 is the kind of game that inspires questions like "How can I can prevent my car from using me as ammo?" then I am very interested.

@Brant The games are ridiculous.
I've played the second one, and it's just silly fun.
 
uh, TIL Coldfront does not allow for overtime if the middle point hasn't been captured
 
@Brant There are a bunch of cheats that do silly things, like 'evil cars' which makes every car in the game try to run you down, or 'raining pedestrians' which makes pedestrians fall from the sky. And lets not forget the 'pimp slap' weapon, which is one of those big foam gloves with a #1 on it. It can knock over cars.
 
Hmm. I wonder how it runs in Parallels.
(although since the character creator crashed on startup, I'm guessing it doesn't)
 
5:20 PM
@GraceNote The full version is.
 
@GnomeSlice I think it's fine. We need more questions about playing games competitively so I'm willing to let this one slide, although I agree that it's a little broad.
 
@Mana Agreed. Also, that tag is wrong.

Q: How strong are the conjured "Bound" weapons compared to their physical counterparts?

PithlitI've really come to enjoy conjuring, especially dual-wielding bound swords. They weigh nothing, and I get skill just for bringing them out, and the coup-de-grace is that they automatically soul trap (hooray enchanting!). The issue is though, how much damage am I losing by using conjured weapons...

Q: How can pass last episode on Super Meat Boy

ahmtbskyaI can`t pass the last episode.I'm going end of the stage but i can't pass the episode.

 
There's no need to put N64 in the game title tag.
Super Smash Bros. is the name of the N64 game, that's the only game with that name, it should be implicitly clear
The others are Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl
 
@FallenAngelEyes Given the fact that I don't know anybody in the Smash community who refers to the original without using the 64, I'm unconvinced
 
5:33 PM
We can synonym the 64 version into the proper tag name
 
@Mana I don't think we should have to change our tagging conventions because people can't read ;p
 
@FallenAngelEyes fair nuff
 
is fine for the original, if you're talking about the series, than we make it
The other two have entirely separate words in their title. How is that not clear?!
 
@FallenAngelEyes I dunno, the thing and mumbles
 
@GraceNote Also whenever I see this question, I totally hear the announcer in my head saying that
 
5:37 PM
@FallenAngelEyes That's why the original completion had "COMPLETE!" in the title.
 
ok more Saints Row now flees
 
@FallenAngelEyes BTW, Thanks for the awesome answer on my GOD questions, my wife got me 1&2 as an early Christmas present and I am loving it.
 
@Diago Diago! I haven't seen you around this chat I think.
 
@Mana Yeah, first visit.
Noticed @FallenAngelEyes and wanted to say thanks.
 
@Diago Awesome!!

@Diago Get out while you still can!
 
Lolz. I don't spend much time in chat anyway.

Q: What is the major difference in gameplay between God of War I, II & III?

DiagoI received my PS3 this weekend, and it came with a copy of God of War III. Before jumping headlong into the game and learning to play it, I was wondering what the major differences between the 3 games are, apart from the obvious story line, and if it is worth playing the first 2 before playing III?

 
5:48 PM
I don't think I've ever seen someone refer to it that way.
 
I sold my XBox and got a PS3. It came with it GOW 3.
 
Now, if you said your Xbox came with GOW3... that'd also make sense (Gears of War 3)
 
@GraceNote Evening oh powerful overlord of unknown origin and gender.
 
You could just say hi and just not bring attention to that
 
@Powerlord Lolz. I cannot play that game. I was bored with my XBox and made the wife a deal. Also I am getting rid of all my Microsoft stuff at home.
 
5:50 PM
@Diago My gender isn't unkn... oh, you mean GraceNote.
 
not the "ful over" in the middle.
 
@GraceNote Would you prefer powerful overlord of the land of no humour instead :)
 
@Diago Her location isn't unknown, s.tk/team says where he's from.
 
@Diago Well xche can't take a joke. (I don't actually know any unisex pronouns)
 
I'm just kinda exhausted that nigh the only thing that ever comes up when I'm talked about is the stuff I don't want people caring about.
 
5:52 PM
@GraceNote Lolz. I do apologise. I don't bump into you often and in my mind is the one fact attached to you :)
 
You say Lolz. almost as much as I say "oh man".

@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, that settles that, haha!
 
@LessPopMoreFizz how about adding a tag wiki to the tag you've just spammed our front page with? :P
 
@RavenDreamer Next step!
Also, do two people want to do me a favor and upvote this answer so I can do a synonym?
3
A: Is it possible to see the dictionary for Words With Friends?

LessPop_MoreFizzWords With Friends uses the Enhanced North American Benchmark Lexicon (ENABLE), with a few custom additions such as 'Zen' and 'Qi'. The base word list can be found here, but I don't have a source for any of the custom additions at this time. Source

 
I'm still trying to figure out if this is the worst or best time to be doing tag edits. I guess they are being absorbed, but...not nearly as fast as I would like...I'm heavily leaning towards this being a bad time.
 
user30
When would be a good time then?
 
6:04 PM
@Mana this is easily the best time to do it.
 
@Mana If I wasn't bumping Skyrim questions that are already kinda absurdly active, I might have second thoughts.
 
Fair enough.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz We can do that directly.
 
@Mana I find the best time to be when the US is asleep, which is normally between 9:00 - 11:00am ZA local time.
 
@RavenDreamer Well yes, but I like being able to Do Things.
 
6:05 PM
Although Jeff seems to be on a cleanup spree.
 
@Diago I'd call it cauterizing.
 
Ummm. Okay, I have 7 upvotes within a tag, why can I not make synonyms.
 
What is the error it gives you?
 
@RavenDreamer Fair enough. /me I love the lookup feature in OSX
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz database may be slow to acknowledging you being over the threshold
 
6:08 PM
@RavenDreamer bah. Plz to synonymize ios iphone ipod
Stupid stupid website.
Now to make a wiki entry.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz all to iOs?
 
@RavenDreamer Seems the best choice.
oh, iPad as well
 
@Mana Anything that changes the front page from being 95% is a plus in my book.
 
I also just noticed that someone nuked the tag at some point and that makes me sad. :(

@LessPop_MoreFizz I think Jeff just did that.

@Powerlord It doesn't. There's a site that uses their API to work it out.

user30
@RavenDreamer Yay for his explanation.
 
Seems we're staying above 100k visits for a while :-)
 
Besides, I'm not likely to believe their numbers when they have an unusual Tower Pillar of Hats with Searing Plasma be only 1.1 million credits.
(or only 100,000 credits more than class-specific unusuals)
 
@ThomasMcDonald He's Jeff Atwood. He doesn't need to explain anything.
 
user30
@RavenDreamer Exactly the point I was making.
 
6:21 PM
@LessPopMoreFizz tags merged. (I think) Can't removed ipod-apps and ipod-games though (since we mods can't nuke tags), so had to leave them as synonyms.
 
@ThomasMcDonald Jeez, what were you expecting from a community-run site?
Transparency?
 
@RavenDreamer gaming.stackexchange.com/users/12/… Doesn't show up here, though a bunch of his other muckery does.
 
Why Jeff Why!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Probably did it directly in the database, rewriting history
 
Because he can!
 
6:23 PM
More questions were asked this week than questions this year according to the tag page
 
@Fabian Yeah, I'd imagine as much. There were in fact a whole lot of questions.
 
@YiJiang It couldn't POSSIBLY have to do with the fact we were offering prizes, could it?!?!?!
 
@Powerlord Honestly? I don't think it did much.
I don't think it hurt, either.

I do think the contest had some nudge to it, but Skyrim has been hugely anticipated on this site since back in May
 
6:24 PM
^
 
We spent a lot of directed targetted external promotion of the contest to MW3 moreso than we did with Skyrim.
 
@GraceNote Do I even need to point out the flaws in that logic?
 
And it's not like MW3 was exactly unpopular, anyway. Skyrim sold 7 million units thus far - that's just the number of XBox units that MW3 sold (they sold 12 million in one week thus far)
 
@GraceNote Skyrim hasn't been out for a week yet.
 
I'm tied with Mark Trapp for upvotes!
@GraceNote Aren't those numbers not counting Steam sales?
 
6:27 PM
I have no idea, I'm pulling from another conversation I had a few hours ago
 
@RavenDreamer Last I heard, Steam doesn't release sales numbers.
You could guesstimate by concurrent players, but...
 
@Powerlord That was my point.
 
Jeff's being doing some cleaning of our tags
 
You might say... he's been murdering them?
 
6:29 PM
@badp I'm surprised CHAOS hasn't been selected to do that, since their original goal was to clean up question titles. And yes, I know their powers have been stripped.
(Which makes it all the odder, since aren't they employees?)
 
Well they no longer needed silent title editing powers so they lost them
I don't know why they're diamond-less employees but that's none of my business
they probably want to convey the idea you don't need to have a diamond to get stuff done.
 
Not sure I agree "matchmaking -> multiplayer"
 
eh.
 
@Powerlord You can't really use concurrent players to guesstimate for games that activate via Steam.
@Powerlord I have a retail copy, but it plays through Steam.
 
@badp Diamonds have been stripped from all employees other than devs and Community, basically

@GraceNote oh, whoops, I guess there's more to employees than the developers
 
I want my back. It was the soul of Gaming.SE.

Do I really want to spend my time on a website without a soul?
 
Also, still needs to die
 
@GraceNote Yes. Yes it does. also IMO.

Why does live on when is done away with silently, in the night? Who needs rickety , bereft of proper violence and heartless ambition?
NO JUSTICE. NO PEACE.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Comedic irony.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz wipes tears from eyes
 
@RavenDreamer Well yes, that was kind of the point.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz Is Foster the People the worst thing to happen to 'indie', even worse than Lana Del Rey?
 
@Mana Yes.
Not only are they terrible, but they advocate senseless hipster-on-hipster violence.
is for video games, not for Williamsburg.
 
6:41 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Could you outrun Foster the People's bullet?
 
Also, Hiya @Joel, Welcome to Gaming.SE.

Yay, the SWTOR folks replied to my ticket... a bit over 24 hours, but still less than 48. I sent them the screenshot of my preorder code email and included where I bought it, what edition I bought, etc... I hope they ban the account of the person who tried to activate my code on their account.

@LessPop_MoreFizz That reminds me, why did schmoyo stop doing Autotune the News? :/
 
@Powerlord They have been doing Other Things as far as I know.
recording an album of original material and such.
Also they've been touring.
And it appears they have a pilot in production with Comedy Central. So maybe they sold the ATTN 'brand' to ComCent?
 
Great, they're following in the footsteps of Sh*t My Dad Says and... all those other successful internet memes-turned-television-shows.
