Context is important!

Ben Brocka

no, on purchasing the game. I do have to play this bullet hell and tear out my hair though

StrixVaria

This game is making me want to play all the roguelikes.

Tristan

@StrixVaria What game?

StrixVaria

Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon

Nintendo DS |genre= Role-playing video game |modes= Single player |ratings= |platforms= Wii, Nintendo DS |media= |requirements= |input= |series = Chocobo series }} , is a role-playing video game published by Square Enix for the Wii. It is an installment in the Chocobo series that focuses on Chocobo and a Cid character. Gameplay The gameplay involves randomly generated dungeons and turn-based battles of the Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon title, though new elements have also been incorporated into the gameplay, such as the Job system, which features ten jobs. Different jobs change the a...

Sterno

I just loaded up Final Fantasy XIII-2

Tristan

6:02 PM

@Sterno It starts slow, but picks up fairly quickly.

Sterno

30 minutes of cutscenes later, I was able to save the game, quit, and probably never play again!

Ben Brocka

I'd recommend Chocobo's dungeon 2 if buying it weren't impossible

Tristan

@StrixVaria This sounds fun.

@RavenDreamer Did you ever get Suikoden? >.>

Raven Dreamer

@Tristan Not yet.

StrixVaria

@Tristan It's really fun. With Nethack having been the only Roguelike I've played before extensively, the simpler interface is a big draw too.

Sterno

6:03 PM

@Tristan Auto-battle offends me. Does the game ever get to a point where autobattle won't work for you? Because that's what made me give up on FF13

Raven Dreamer

Frankly, I fear Grace Note's potential wrath more than I fear your potential wrath.

It might be because you're a pony.

Sterno

Felt like I was just slapping one button repeatedly while the game did all the work

Tristan

@Sterno It does not... Auto-battle will pretty much always win your battles.

Sterno

Bleh

Tristan

@RavenDreamer What if I offered to refund the $5 via PayPal, should you not enjoy the game? >.>

@StrixVaria I've heard the term before... but... what the hell is a roguelike?

Raven Dreamer

6:04 PM

@Tristan There was this one game, called Rogue.

And it spawned its own genre.

StrixVaria

Roguelike

The roguelike is a sub-genre of role-playing video games, characterized by level randomization, permanent death, and turn-based movement. Most roguelikes feature ASCII graphics, with newer ones increasingly offering tile-based graphics. Games are typically dungeon crawls, with many monsters, items, and environmental features. Computer roguelikes usually employ the majority of the keyboard to facilitate interaction with items and the environment. The name of the genre comes from the 1980 game Rogue. Origin The roguelike genre takes its name from Rogue, a role-playing video game based o...

I can't possibly describe it.

Raven Dreamer

And in a sudden flash of unoriginality, they said, "All these games are like Rogue.

They're... Roguelike!"

Tristan

@StrixVaria So does the Chocobo Dungeon feature permanent death? Or is it just considered Roguelike because of the randomly generated dungeons?

Sterno

Diablo is a graphical roguelike. Which makes Diablo clones.... I don't know what!

StrixVaria

@Tristan It doesn't have permanent death, but it has pretty much every other convention I know of.

A big part is identifying items, but being able to use them before that.

So you don't know what your equipment is doing unless you identify it.

Raven Dreamer

6:07 PM

@Sterno Diablrogues.

Sterno

Now I want to play FLT

StrixVaria

@Sterno Diablo is a step further from Roguelike than Chocobo's Dungeon, though.

Since Diablo is in real-time, and Chocobo's Dungeon is still turn-based.

Ben Brocka

I wouldnt' really require rougelikes to have ASCII graphics anymore

not for conventionally released games anyway

Sterno

Also, I'm seriously wondering why I should ever pick up FF13-2 again. The plot is the typical FF confused nonsense, and all you do is smack one button and the game plays itself. Blaharlkjgflkdjfldkjf

Blem

@agent86 pretty sure it is, but it is worded very bad

Tristan

6:08 PM

Bulletstorm for only $5!

Jin

^ what game is that from

badp

@Jin Witcher 2?

Sterno

well, the screenshot says "witcher 2 preview build"

which reminds me, is the enhanced edition for Witcher 2 out yet?

Raven Dreamer

Ayup. Witcher 2.

@Sterno Ask LessPop.

Sterno

I shall ask The Google!

Jin

6:11 PM

doh i missed "witcher 2" text.. i'm dumb dumb

is the game any good?

Sterno

April 17th

Raven Dreamer

It's hard.

But I enjoyed it.

(And I didn't play the Witcher 1)

Jin

TWSS

hm i need to start playing ME3

badp

I wonder if I can save my poor pilot. Took down a robot and six men with two typhoon rounds.

Radar says just one hostile left...

okay they're two but snipable

Raven Dreamer

@badp All the good Jensens do.

James

6:18 PM

@badp You can't let her down! :(

Jin

@badp that was a hard fight.

badp

hm, still a shotgun man.

@StrixVaria you're welcome :) glad you're enjoying it

Q: How do I revive Downed Party Members?

I'm playing the PSP version of Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. One recent encounter with a monster KO'd one of my party members (apparently pine-cone monsters explode like bombs when reduced to 0 hp. Who knew?), and I'm at a loss as to how to get him back on his feet. I know that you can us...

Q: What is the most common item build on support blitzcrank?

Do you start out with a philosopher's stone like other supports, or do you get a tear of goddess for the mana. Basically, what are the core items?

league-of-legends

agent86

@badp you can, doing it without any lethality is really hard, but doable. it's very minor whether she lives or dies though

badp

6:20 PM

\o/

Paralytic

any1 here anygood with computers?

agent86

@Paralytic no. I'm awesome

badp

@agent86 Fuck non-lethal.

murgatroid99

@Paralytic good with some computers

OrigamiRobot

@Paralytic I am a robot

Wipqozn

6:21 PM

@agent86 I did it non-lethal. shadeS

agent86

@Wipqozn same here. I didn't ask for non-lethal.

murgatroid99

@Paralytic what do you need to know/fix

Wipqozn

I just wanted to brag. shades

Anyone else want to weigh in on this?

Q: Is there a HD addon for Rayman Forever?

I bought Rayman Forever from Gog.com. I wonder if there is a HD addon for this game? Thanks.

@agent86 alrightie, well A: im having trouble with my video card driver constantly crashing, and i bought 2 new video cards and im getting the same issue and they wont detect my second monitor

Wipqozn

6:23 PM

@OrigamiRobot Already did, but needs two more. @agent86 and nickt seem to disagree though. so wanted to see what others thought.

badp

Slow elevator is slow.

Paralytic

B i keep getting the blue screen of death

physical memory dumps i mean

agent86

@Paralytic what's the error that's BSOD'ing you?

badp

Also I can't really imagine a post-human future where we're deprived of the primordial joy of jumping when in moving contraptions such as elevators.

Jin

who here plays WoW still?

James

6:24 PM

@Jin My accounts are active, not logged in for some time though

badp

whenever I find out I can't jump where I am... I shed a tear.

agent86

usually these kind of problems are either a) heat/defective parts or b) bad drivers/software conflicts of some sort

badp

Today, no jumping allowed. Tomorrow, what? No game-recs?

Paralytic

@agent86 it only says AMD driver has stopped working and has recovered, as it will occasionally freeze and the screen with go black for second

agent86

@Paralytic you might try a different version of the driver (ie, roll back a version or move to the latest)

murgatroid99

6:26 PM

@Paralytic So your AMD driver stops and recovers, and then you get a BSOD?

Paralytic

@murgatroid99 whats a BSOD?

Wipqozn

What are the best mods for improving the appearance of Oblivion?

Paralytic

@agent86 ill see how that turns out

murgatroid99

@Paralytic blue screen of death. You said you got that error in reponse to @agent86 asking what was causing the BSOD

Nosedrool

Hello.

badp

6:27 PM

Heh, the game's "WARNING. If you use this door you won't be able to go return."

Sterno

@Wipqozn Oh, sure, rub in your 10kness by linking deleted posts!

murgatroid99

@Paralytic make sure to set a restore point before you do it

badp

Way to spoil an ambush. Also what would I return to?

Paralytic

@murgatroid99 o right duh, yah i get that

Jin

how is SWTOR doing? compared to other MMOs

Paralytic

6:28 PM

@murgatroid99 not always tho

badp

@Jin If you're looking at ways to burn time, LessPop requested nukes for meta. ducks

Sterno

Hey, new Game of Thrones tomorrow

murgatroid99

@Paralytic what? I'm just saying that before you change your video driver, you should set a restore point

Wipqozn

@Wipqozn this question was closed and deleted. It's not different than this one.

badp

Oh look. I'm not actually triggering a cutscene where I get ambushed and get the "MISSING DLC" bit.

Paralytic

6:29 PM

@murgatroid99 like back up my files?

murgatroid99

@Paralytic I'm assuming you're on windows. There is something called system restore that lets you revert to earlier settings if something goes wrong

Q: What is a good item build for support with Blitzcrank?

Do you start out with a philosopher's stone like other supports, or do you get a tear of goddess for the mana. Basically, what are the core items?

@Paralytic windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/…

Wipqozn

Can someone who knows LoL weigh in on this? looks like it should be closed as "Not Constructive" to me.

I approved an edit that changed the title from "What are the most common items with Blitzcrank?"

StrixVaria

Mar 23 at 11:21, by LessPop_MoreFizz

game recommendations are off topic, as well as recommendations of things that are like games (i.e., Mods.). Last I checked however, recommendations of how to go about playing a game, including aspects like character, item, or weapon selection, are kind of the whole god damned point of our website.

Wipqozn

6:32 PM

@StrixVaria > Basically, what are the core items?

I'm referring to that.

I have no idea what that even means, and, based on the original title, just looks like what are he most common items.

StrixVaria

A general strategy question about how to play support with Blitzcrank is firmly on topic.

Which would involve item suggestions.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria I concur. In it's current form, it doesn't look like it's on-topic.

I once again point ou to the original title:

Arda Xi

Oh isn't Notch witty today. Mars Effect

Wipqozn

> What is the most common item build on support blitzcrank?

StrixVaria

I don't think it's close-able in its current state, even if it's not an exemplary question.

That's not the title any more, though.

Even if that's the asker's original intention, the question is now asked in an acceptable way.

Wipqozn

6:34 PM

@StrixVaria I concur,but I'm using it to show the intent of the body.

@StrixVaria I disagree. The title is fine, but not the body.

The body is essentially asking what build everyone uses.

murgatroid99

@ArdaXi I like the game features: "An ending that makes sense", "Waist high walls"

@ArdaXi Also, the filler text is (I think) the Wikipedia article about Lorem Ipsum

Wipqozn

I think the body could be edited to be fine, but I'm not familiar enough with LoL to make such an edit.

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn How's that?

Wipqozn

> Do you start out with a philosopher's stone like other supports, or do you get a tear of goddess for the mana

StrixVaria

I'm reading "do you" as the general "does one", but I edited it to remove that ambiguity.

Wipqozn

6:36 PM

Okay, your edit addresses my issues.

Also, I dislike this guy:

commented: Congrats Wipqozn. You saved the world.

StrixVaria

You can one-box comments now!?

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria So it would seem.

Look kind of odd though, since they one-box like a question/answer.

In any case, I've saved the world. So I'm a hero now.

> Congrats Wipqozn. You saved the world. You must be proud of yourself.

This guy doesn't like me either. Success. shades

Ben Brocka

6:52 PM

Weird, he's not even a LoL player

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn No idea what guy that is, but is this really surprising?

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn I'm so jealous of you.

Tristan

@Wipqozn How's Killing Floor?

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan Pretty fun

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot I have it downloaded, just never played it. lol

Q: Is there a HD addon for Rayman Forever?

commented: @Leadri stop picking on Wipqozn for performing his civic duty: what's fair's fair and if he didn't notice your question, somebody else would've. This question is currently phrased as a request for game modifications, thus being either the border of a recommendation for a mod (not allowed) or a list of mods (also not allowed.)

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice You do know you have to sign up if you want to play tomorrow.
