@RavenDreamer sprinkle some bacon bits on it.
btw i don't even have the Arqade mousepad :(
 
@Jin How much time do you still need to make my package your package still?!
 
Jin
@badp what?
 
OMGOMGOMG BIT TRIP CORE ON STEAM.
ten euros :( wishlisted
 
Apparently you can start preloading XCOM on Steam now.
I will confirm once I get home.
 
@StrixVaria What? Me? Why?
 
7:11 PM
Can't remotely preload yet, at least
 
@OrigamiRobot A unicorn's word vs a robot word, you sir are in trouble.
 
Sep 26 at 16:31, by OrigamiRobot
@StrixVaria I miss your pig.
Sep 26 at 17:57, by StrixVaria
@OrigamiRobot ARE YOU HAPPY NOW LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GRAVATAR
Sep 26 at 17:52, by badp
@StrixVaria RIP GREEN OOGLY PUPPET
 
Can Trail of Cindersdo Crits?....Now with 1.05-Does anyone know if the any of the above change also (Weapon Damage vs DPS, Crit Chance)? — Mike 6 mins ago
I seem to be missing something here.
The only thing that the duplicate doesn't address is if ToC crits or not.
 
@StrixVaria That doesn't explain why it is my fault!
 
@fbueckert @badp @FAE Thanks! It was actually pretty easy for me :)
 
7:15 PM
@SaintWacko Aww. You didn't actually break a leg.
 
FAE
@SaintWacko Yay!
 
Now I'm disappointed.
 
And @AshleyNunn Yesss, special category!
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot I keep missing you speak because I look for normal colored BMO.
 
@FAE No. I am SteaMO now.
 
Jin
7:17 PM
did the xcom game come out?
i remember there are 2 coming out
 
Speaking of which...

FAE
@OrigamiRobot I know. Jochem linked that page to me, I linked it to Tristan, and then he linked it to you.
 
The FPS one is super delayed and maybe 3rd person instead of an FPS
 
7:18 PM
@FAE No, I linked it to Jochem.
 
But no one cares because it sounds lame.
 
Jin
i remember the FPS one was announced first, i was super disappointed
to me, x-com = turn based
 
@Jin Yeah, FPS would have been weird
not sure how that would have worked
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Lying robot is lying. You never speak to Jochem without going through me. :P
 
Jin
@SaintWacko i'm curious about that Syndicate remake game, it was a fps too right?
 
7:19 PM
@FAE That is not true. I frequently speak to Jochem directly.
 
Sep 29 '11 at 18:39, by Powerlord
All in favor of replacing @GnomeSlice with a bot that posts the same Youtube videos at random times every day, star this post.
 
@Jin Not sure. Haven't heard of it
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot It is mostly true.
 
Seriously, that is the most starred 'youtube' search result.
 
Jin
i hate it when they remake classic to be a fps...
now, if they make a Liesure Suit Larry FPS game...
 
FAE
7:21 PM
@OrigamiRobot And either way, I know that he saw it on BoingBoing or something first, so.
 
@FAE I am BoingBoing or something.
 
@James RIP :'(
 
Is their any way to star a message multiple times?
 
@Jin I'm just pretending the FPS one doesn't exist and focusing on the turn-based tactical one that is going to be awesome.
@SaintWacko Sockpuppets.
 
@StrixVaria ???
 
7:22 PM
I want to star Wipqozn's "Fuck you EA" a few more times
4
 
@James Look who posted the message you quoted.
 
@StrixVaria Sorry man but that name means nothing to me. (Before my time maybe?)
 
@SaintWacko The best way to get stars is to talk about stars.
 
Jin
@SaintWacko I see /r/gaming is leaking....
Gabe for president!
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh, wow, no kidding
 
7:23 PM
@James He quit the site because @agent86 was getting rep too fast or something.
 
Star. Star star starry star. Star starredy star star starrity.
 
@StrixVaria Ah, I do recall there was a bit of a scandal as to how 'effectively' @agent86 was able to gain rep during the election..
 
FAE
@StrixVaria It was the great Googling fiasco.
 
He thought that 100% accurate answers were unacceptable to post unless you earned the knowledge yourself through play.
Also, something about MMOs going out of date. I didn't follow that part.
 
@Sterno This is a pretty concise way to sum it up, actually.
 
7:25 PM
@Sterno Oh, wow, he would have hated me
 
@SaintWacko Your star-fu is weak.
 
I use my Google-fu all the time
 
Jin
who are you talking about?
 
@Jin Powerlord
 
@OrigamiRobot I overused the star power
And I have paid the price
 
7:26 PM

Q: Should we care if an answer is from Googled information, as long as it is right?

SternoOver on the nominations page, one of the nominations has a large comment discussion about this. Some of us have been hoping that the person who originally brought up the concern would bring the discussion to meta, but it doesn't look like that's going to be happening, and it seems worth discussin...

 
On the other hand, I am eating a delicious sandwich, so it's all cool
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer The mousepad has a really strong, plastic-y smell, I found. I can't imagine how terrible it would taste.
 
Jin
@FAE put some vinegar on it.
 
@Jin I think the more important thing to address with what she said was tasting a mouse pad...
 
7:33 PM
@Ronan Just so you know, I won't be recording after all.
sigh I am a serious FAIL at recording.
 
Bah
 
@RedRiderX Why?
 
I tried some 6 different programs, and I only got Fraps and Bandicam to work.
Unfortunately I'm too cheap to buy either one right now. :P
 
My search capabilities fail. I can not find the youtube video of that guy dancing I was looking for
Instead, I found a quote that brought up the past ;D
 
Sorry.
 
7:34 PM
@jin Vinegar? no - Rub Some Bacon On it.
 
... course putting in 'guy dance to dubstep' in to youtube came up with it as the first result.. awesome :)

@RavenDreamer sprinkle some bacon bits on it.
 
@James How are your friends recording did you say?
 
@RonanForman Guy is at the store who was working on it.. Will see if I can get a response when he gets back and FUCK I MISS MY MECHANICAL KEYBOARD! Damn you Corsair!!!

Q: What's the keyboard layout like?

badpBit Trip Core is finally on Steam. While the previous Windows ports of Bit Trip titles were quality ones, I'm a little concerned by this one — maybe I'm a little scarred by Half Minute Hero, but still the nature of the game kind of concerns me. That, and this comment on the store page: ...

 
@RedRiderX Have you looked at PlayClaw? It's cheaper than Fraps
 
@TrentHawkins what's supposed to happen with narwhals at midnight anyway?
 
@badp You don't know?
 
@SaintWacko No.
 
7:47 PM
@badp I can't believe it
Of all people
 
wat
 
@RedRiderX Have you tried MSI Afterburner? It's free: event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm
 
If it's about reddit - I'm more of a reddit user than a redditor. There are many things that irk me about reddit and I merely tolerate
 
I'll try both right now (not at the same time, however).
 
Why would it be about reddit?
 
7:50 PM
that's what Google says about "narwhals at midnight"
 
Well, shows how much Google knows
 
@badp I haven't the foggiest idea
 
color me shocked
 
7:52 PM
@Jin so I have to know, and twitter is borked. WHAT IS THE ONE GAME IN YOUR STEAM LIBRARY?
or are you just trolololing?
 
@badp Oh yeah, I read about that a while back
forgot about it
 
Jin
@agent86 i really only have 1 game. Borderlands 2
2
 
@Jin If there's one game you should have, that's it
 
@agent86 why, Borderlands 2?
 
Although really you should have two: that and Borderlands 1
 
7:54 PM
@Jin seriously, you own no other steam games? man, that's insanity.
 
Jin
@agent86 because I didn't have a Steam account before... I only made one for BL2.
 
@Jin :O
 
Heretic!
 
would you play civ 5?
 
@agent86 everybody has to start somewhere
 
Jin
7:55 PM
and I realized how much $$$$$$ I've been saving by not having a Steam account
4
 
I need to get civ 5
 
Jin
I think I'll go broke shortly
 
At least to try it out
 
@SaintWacko there's a demo, if I recall.
 
@Jin just wait for the summer/winter sales, then you'll go broke.
 
7:56 PM
@agent86 Oh, okay, I'll have to check that out

Q: How do I mine in Freelancer?

PearsonartphotoI've noticed that the maps in Freelancer show areas of potential mining interest, but I have never seen any equipment to do any actual mining. How do I actually mine anything?

 
Okay mods it's been 5+ hours since I flagged this question.
And it hasn't been addressed yet :(
Do you just not look at the meta queue?
 
user2334
8:30 PM
We need new elections
 
@MarkTrapp I know.
 
user2334
Stuff stays in the main queue for sometimes a day or two
 
user2334
I nominate ronnie, he'd pro the hell out of the flag queue
 
user2334

Seriously, what is that.
 
8:34 PM
IMPEACH THE MODS
 
user2334
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
2
 
My Latin Fu is weak.
 
user2334
Sic semper tyrannis is a Latin phrase meaning "thus always to tyrants." It is sometimes mistranslated as "death to tyrants" or "down with the tyrant." The phrase is said to have originated with Marcus Junius Brutus during the assassination of Julius Caesar. The phrase has been invoked historically in Europe and other parts of the world as an epithet or rallying cry against abuse of power. In the U.S. it has particular infamy as the words shouted by John Wilkes Booth during his assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. It is also the official motto of the Commonwealth of Virginia and th...
 
feel free to ping me if there's something that needs doing urgently.
I typically handle flags on a regular schedule, today's been bad for that, got an out-of-town engineer camping my spawn
and this week's been full of distractions (as you shall see tomorrow...)
 
user2334
@agent86 That's what flagging is intended to do, but more and more frequently flags have been sticking around for hours, even days
 
8:36 PM
@agent86 Ooh, the big reveal is tomorrow!
 
user2334
If there's a problem with coverage of mods and/or mods have decided to step back, we need new elections
 
@agent86 At least mark the flag helpful if you agreed with it :)
 
@MarkTrapp average flag handling time for the quarter is 3 hrs 17 minutes. for the month, 3 hrs 14 minutes, and today it's 2 hrs 46 minutes.
 
@SaintWacko Indeed. It will be quite good.
 
8:38 PM
@fbueckert What time should we expect it?
 
user2334

@SaintWacko Whenever I or @agent86 get up, I expect.
 
@SaintWacko I scheduled it for 12:30 tomorrow, whatever blog time is :P
 
@agent86 messes with schedule
 
I suspect it is using the same as the rest of SE, which is probably UTC or similar
 
8:44 PM
@agent86 I am honestly surprised your link actually worked.
 
FAE
@agent86 Yes.
 
@fbueckert which link? the "big" one near the top? why surprised? :P
@FAE I guess for those of us in the US, that will be this evening then, yeah?
 
@agent86 No, the one in the "List of users" section. The one I'm in.
 
FAE
@agent86 You scheduled it for 12:30 am?
 
@FAE hmm, no, you're right. I'm neglecting am/pm
so early tomorrow morning for US folks.
 
FAE
8:51 PM
@agent86 Yep.
 
@fbueckert ah, yes, that one :) what can I say, they make resilient links :P
@FAE agent86's timezone slapstick theatre, brought to you by his total inability to compute time with any competency.

Q: What are the odds on the slot machines?

CyberSkullI've seen what I can win in the Borderlands 2 slot machines, I'm curious to know what the odds of winning each are.

Q: Can't call moonstone after I killed the warrior?

ChiboxAfter I killed the warrior his dead body is between the green button and me and I cannot press the green button to call moonstone. I can see the green button but there isn't any dialog. How can I end the game and kill Jack?

 
@mark how many Times do I need to tell you, just because flags don't vanish doesn't mean we neglect them
 
user2334
@badp Yes, yes it does. If you think nothing should be done with the flag, dismiss it as valid. Your past argument of "oh well I'm letting other mods look at it" breaks down when a flag sits there for 2 days. If no moderator wants to handle a simple NaA flag for two freaking days, there's a problem
 
user2334
9:03 PM
Either it's coverage or it's competence, but it's a problem
 
Aldo fighting iPhone prediction when set on The wrong language is absolutely awful
 
*sigh* I am such a FAIL at recording, it's getting kinda tragic.
I go to try MSI Afterburner, for instance, and this happens:
... and now I'm kind of stuck. :P
 
Feel free to continue looking at outliers like they're The norm, I think we're fine

Q: Getting a team of developers to join the bandwagon

Will SI've been planning a social web app for about 12 months now, we have a large project team of about 23 members, a few technical team members but they're all currently busy with study or current commitments. I find it rather sad on our part how we've come up with some snazzy ideas and have the mark...

 
Maximize then move The Window around
 
9:11 PM
One day, one day I will find a game to give me a legit reason to ask this question here
 
@badp Much thanks.
 
Is there a way to change writing language temporarily or at least dismiss those fucking suggestions without hunting for that small as fuck x
 
@BenBrocka Why not write one yourself?
 
@SaintWacko Fishmine: The Movie The Game
 
@BenBrocka Exactly

In a world where fish live in stone...a man.... hungers. Mine 4 Fish.

Q: How can I find my allegedly stabeled horse?

user6611I'm playing Oblivion on the Xbox 360 (so no console). There is a common problem when it comes to locating your horse after wandering around yourself, which is usually solved by fast-travelling to any city, or the city where you bought it. [1] [2] [3] I left my horse outside the Imperial City (no...

 
@RonanForman @RedRiderX He put out the cash for Fraps for recording.
@RedRiderX @RonanForman He gave a suggestion of: addictivetips.com/windows-tips/… however.
 
@James I will now try this, thanks for the suggestion.
 
@RedRiderX Passed along man, good luck :)
 
@StrixVaria That is an awesome celebration
 
9:52 PM
@FAE I did not find out on purpose, I assure you!
Hearthfire is out for PC, ey?
 
WTF these games are all over 2GB!
Waste of $5...
 
10:45 PM
@agent86 It's true BTW, I have him on steam
@SaintWacko Reminder to add me on steam
Welp, off to set hundreds of people on fire
 
@BenBrocka Excellent timing
What was the name again?
Nevermind, figured out how to use the chat search
 
Hooray, I'm a Yearling!
 
TL;DR: The Saxxys have replays again. Use can use stuff other than SFM too.
 
user15026
11:22 PM
@RedRiderX Congrats :D
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I'm about to head out for the night but I saw this and thought it may be relevant to your interests.
 
user15026
@FAE This is the most awesome thing. :D It will give me much joy when I am being a sadface bean. :) hugs Sleep well, lovely lady.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Most recent pic is super cute! hugs back Not sleeping yet, just gonna afk and play games for the rest of the night methinks, but you too when you go! Later!
 
user15026
@FAE Oh man. SO CUTE. But I love Corgis.

@AshleyNunn I knoooooow! :D Okies, see you!

Q: On what is the Directness badge based in Anomaly Warzone Earth?

Steven JeurisI've just finished level 3 in Anomaly Warzone Earth using the (by my knowledge) shortest path available. Unfortunately I still didn't get a golden Directness badge, but only silver. Is there any other measure which is taken into account in order to win the golden badge?

 
I have now tried 10 screen recording applications.
I have found no good solutions.
I admit defeat.
@James I really, truly give up on recording tomorrow, sorry.
 
@RedRiderX twitch.tv
 
@RedRiderX camstudio + virtual dub takes a sizable amount of getting used to but it works...I'm surprised there's very little free stuff out there for that
I've moved on to Camtasia but...that shit costs money
 
11:47 PM
@GnomeSlice It comes with software?
 
@RedRiderX Ah, no. I use... erm... adobe flash media... encoder... or something.
It's free.
 
@BenBrocka Taksi seemed like might be a good solution, but I just can't get it to record Minecraft. I've seen videos of people doing it, but it just doesn't work for me.
Thereby the admitting of defeat.
 
@RedRiderX Afterburner didn't work?
 
@Ullallulloo It apparently has a problem with 64bit applications, like Java.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria That is a thing of beauty.
 
11:57 PM
@BenBrocka Wait, camstudio + virtualdub?
 
user15026
We have a FB page, yes?
 
@BenBrocka So that will work for recording games + commentary?
