Q: How can I set-up a Virtual Machine for gaming on Ubuntu?

AlanOkay, I'll budge, I really do miss the gaming aspect of Windows, and would like to be able to play most of my games once again. I've seen that WINE isn't the best when it comes to running Windows games on Ubuntu, but I've read that running them in a Virtual Machine is a whole different story. S...

anyone have a spare Black Box?
 
1:22 AM
Is the TF2 item server down, or is it just the server I'm on that it's affecting?
Never mind, tf2items and tf2b can't access it either.
 
1:53 AM
I think I figured out why taking screenshots in TF2 "crashes" it
F12 is probably bound to 'exit'

Q: Ways to prevent overheating on XBOX 360 ?

Koroki KazeMy XBOX 360 sometimes freezes because it's get overheated. Mainly because I don't have a lot of ventilation on my room. So I was thinking about buying a fan to cool it down, after searching a little on amazon I found a couple of them but in the reviews people said that these fans didn't help at ...

Q: Didn't recieve Altruist badge

WesMaybe I'm confused about the criteria for receiving it. I put some bounty on a feature request that I thought should be implemented. However as the time was close to running out and the number of upvotes had ceased to increase I thought I'd just award the bounty. I also awarded the bounty on sta...

Q: Should there be some way to designate answers as deprecated?

chandsMost notably for minecraft, but I'm sure this happens with others as well, many questions and answers become irrelevant after a certain amount of time or after a game update. So should there be some mechanism, like a tag or some kind of flag, to signal to members and googlers that the answers fo...

A: Can I trust "Steam"-powered games? Any unwanted behavior installed with Steam?

Arda XiYes, you can trust it. It is non-intrusive and all it does (at minimum) is manage your games and patches for you. Anything else is optional. Steam has an offline mode, where you can play your games without a connection to Steam, granting you total freedom from Valve's servers. It doesn't instal...

Only a few more upvotes and that's the highest score answer on the site. Or... is it already?
Oh, never mind.

A: What build order should I use for Zerg in StarCraft 2?

tzenesAn opening dictates how you are going to start the match. The basic Zerg openings: 6-10 Pool (Rush) 13-14 Pool (Standard) 14-15 Pool, 16 Hatch (Macro) 14-15 Hatch, 15-16 Pool (Macro+) 14 Gas, 14 Pool (Speedling) 12 Pool (Sen Style) How to read these: The number indicates the number of drones...

I just found out that I have been convinced that it was confirmed that Chell was Cave's daughter. Now where did I come up with that?

Q: What is the format of Minecraft.net account names?

Kevin ReidWhat is the format of Minecraft.net account names? Specifically, what characters are permitted or prohibited, what is the maximum length, and are they always treated as case-insensitive?

 
12:54 PM
Just read this. "but despite Jeff and the team’s original plan of not building a community" Is that what Jeff planned? That explains a whole lot.
 
1:05 PM
Mmmmhmmm... slow day, I see
Also, how did Mr. Lazers get an animated gif instead of a gravatar for his avatar?
(PS. Dropbox might not be happy with you @badp for using it as an image host like this)
 
@YiJiang Usually the case on Sundays.
 
1:49 PM
Heh, just found the video back that got me interested in Eve Online all those years ago.
Well, one of.

Q: Is there any way to heal yourself in Hack Slash Loot?

DanHI've recently started playing with Hack Slash Loot, currently in Beta so maybe I'm just asking for something that's not implemented yet, but the game feels pretty good and polished. As a human-saracen it seems as though there's no way to regain HP, or am I just not seeing it?! Thanks! P.S Apol...

Q: Does the smp tag need a rename?

badpWhat do you think of the smp tag? Does it need to be renamed to something more easily understandable, or can it stand on its own? Does it even need to be its own tag? It's apparently for questions about Minecraft's Survival Multiplayer mode. If you had to read this to understand what the tag...

 
 
@Lazers Add teh tags plz @badp

@YiJiang Can has added teh tagz thx

Here's the Google search that was used for the 3rd Sony "hack": http://bit.ly/muCvsz Thanks @MasafumiNegishi
I think we can definitely sue Sony for negligence now.
I'm fairly sure privacy law states that a certain amount of measures have to be taken in order to protect data.
 
that's kind of hilarious
also pretty sad, this is a complete PR nightmare for Sony
 
@Mana You can leave out the PR.
It's a complete nightmare for Sony even if you leave out the PR.
I mean, think of the lawsuits.
I'd say I don't think Sony can go down any further, but somehow I think they can.
 
SAVE THE LAWSUITS
 
I came here to chew bubblegum and sue Sony. And I don't have a lawyer.
Does anyone have gum?
By the way, why is this starred so much? It's completely false.
yesterday, by Grace Note
I'm not Arda. Stars should be going to Arda.
 
OH GOD THAT BIRD HAS A TWITCHING INSECT IN ITS MOUTH GO AWAY FROM MY WINDOW
 
3:32 PM
Well... the first part is true. Yes. True.
 
False.
 
@Mana You think @GraceNote is me?
 
yes.
 
@Mana That's harsh.
You just called @GraceNote me. That's kinda offensive.
 
I can't see how.
 
3:36 PM
@Mana Because I'm nowhere close to @GraceNote.
 
@Mana Don't get too excited, that's what we thought about the Sony rootkits too
 
@badp Those didn't impact one in a hundred people on earth.
And counting.
 
@Arda aww. That's so sweet!
 
@ArdaXi He's asking not to be starred. Simple enough
 
@Mana Hu?
@badp And I/they failed.
Maybe @Grace is my Tyler Durden. I don't know.
 
3:38 PM
@ArdaXi (S)he succeeded in tricking us to star that, duh
"PLZ NOT TO STAR" → STAR ×9001
 
I've always wanted my own Tyler Durden.
 
@badp Nice subtle edit by the way
 
@Mana Subtle? That was obvious.
 
u r stfu
 
Okay, now I need to meet @GraceNote just so I know I'm not actually crazy. Well, crazier, anyway.
 
3:40 PM
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
it's like a romantic comedy or something
 
@Mana Bless your little primate brain.
I think I've said that before.
 
"He needs to make sure he's not crazy, but soon enough he's going to be...for her!"
jazz music
 
Okay, my craziness might be due to the fact I've just worked through the entire Parmenides dialogue.
@Mana STOP IMPLYING I'M TSUNDERE!
Maybe @GraceNote is my dere side.
 
it's better than implying you're a blonde mermaid
 
@Mana They're both half true you know.
Both the first half, even.
 
3:59 PM
@Mana how can you tell he's blonde if he's invisible?
 
because my eyes are visible
 
you mean like this?
 
...how did you get that picture of me?
 
They ripped you off in a game.
Totally not cool.
 
laaaaaaaaaame
 
4:02 PM
Yeah, they had to back out pretty quickly
It was the best game, now it's just meh.
 
At least there are no unphotoshopped pics of me.
Also, usually pinging @GraceNote repeatedly is followed by a sneak peek from @GraceNote into the chatroom. I guess that happens less without the daggers.
 
stabs @Arda with dagger, runs
 
pulls out dagger and throws it at @Mana
GREEN IS PEOPLE!

Q: How can I aim better/kill people more often in Counter Strike : Source, or any FPS game?

The Communist DuckWhen I play FPS games (at the moment it happens to be Counter Strike), I find that I can rarely kill people before they kill me; often a whole SMG clip doesn't take them down, and they hit me with a few pistol shots and I die. I think this is just me being very poor at aiming. I go for the neck,...

 
4:47 PM
Speaking of "best"
Meta is best.
Fuck yeah violins.
Also hard as fuck to keep. 3 mistakes and you go down to a mere Giga.
Although at the end of a stage the mistake bar empties.
So that's not too bad.
 
Is that just BTB in reverse?
 
I've only seen this video.
 
My brain just crashed.
 
It's in reverse; it adds quite a few modes (I've counted Nether, Hyper, Super, Ultra, Extra, Giga, Meta); avoid blocks; bonus blocks; mother loving violins <(=_=)> ; etc.

Q: Does Flux's ult interrupt?

CodemonkeyWhen people are channeling with homecoming stones or abilities, will Flux's global ult interrupt them?

 
5:06 PM
As for more Bit Trippines for the PC
@CamiloNieto We're not sure on that yet. We're currently focusing all of our efforts on SAGA. How about before 12/21/2012?
 
Err... releases to the Wii and 3DS? How exactly are these guys indie?
 
Eh... they were on the Wii to begin with.
Just... I don't know how those games turn out in 3D.
They're so 2D it's almost the whole point.
except maybe for Runner.
Perhaps it's for the backdrops.
At any rate I guess I'll never know.
 
I'm now wearing my SE shirt in my comics by the way.
 
5:21 PM
Hrm, why isn't there a golden potato hat anyway?
 
5:42 PM
@ArdaXi Valve got bored of hats
 
@RonanForman As if.
@badp How does an indie developer get a licence to sell full-fledged games on consoles?
 
@ArdaXi It was on the WiiWare...
It probably still is.
 
@badp The 3DS game isn't.
 
@ArdaXi They probably gained enough attention with Nintendo to win this chance at an "actual" release.
Or something.
 
@badp It's not an attention issue. It's simply a financial issue.
I think we need a question on what VAC is, since nobody seems to understand.
 
5:50 PM
Oh, I didn't notice this.
> Each game so far adds a new Mode to Mode Up into. Nether, Hyper, and Mega Modes were the first ones featured in BEAT, then CORE added Super Mode, followed by Ultra Mode in VOID, Extra Mode in RUNNER, Giga Mode in FATE, and finally Meta Mode in FLUX.
Extra gives me headaches.
 
> At some point in their lives, one in six children will be abducted by the Dutch.
I thought I told Valve not to tell anyone.
 
Hrm, if some of you has a TVTropes account, HL2:Ep2 needs adding to SilentCredits
Unless, well, ...that counts as music; I don't think so.
Argh! Cheating in an official video! vimeo.com/15062679
Although the game does make me want to cheat at it. Just to see how it all sounds when you hit everything.

6:51 PM
I made a new minecraft skin!
 
@RonanForman The T-shirt has text though as well. Not really an accurate portrayal. :P
 
you add 6 pixel text
 
@RonanForman Nice, although I prefer my Gaming heart one :)
Also, seriously, what's wrong with cheat sites.
 
it's the one I got for loosing the mod election
 
@RonanForman Yeah, I don't think they'll make actual tshirts about Gaming before we get a real domain name.
Embetterened.

Q: I need help Identifying a Mid - Early 90's DOS Game

OpportunaI have a vague memory of a first person dungeon crawling game, I believe the copy I got came in a pack with several other games. I think the command to start the game was Yesboreth.exe but google turns up nothing. I believe it came on diskette.

Q: Minecraft armor glitch?

chandsSo chestplates give you four armor, right? Okay. And boots give you one and a half armor. Except if they have taken damage, in which case they give you a little less, but nonetheless they give you some protection until they get destroyed. Sounds good and fair. But if you use a new chestplat...

 
8:19 PM
@badp On the tee.
 
@ArdaXi Text is superflous.
 
Also, why haven't you linked SpaceChem to your Steam account?
 
@ArdaXi er, what? (Are you talking to me)
 
@badp Didn't you have SpaceChem? Yeah.
 
@ArdaXi Nope, I only played the (generous) demo.
 
8:21 PM
Ah.
 
I'll pick it up when it's on sale.
"Along" perhaps with VVVVVV.
My problem is I want to finish the games I have bought before I get new ones.
and I still have to do that dozen SMB levels to get the non-ending.
 
8:46 PM
Hmm, apparently I just made a very cycle-efficient solution for the second TF2 level in Spacechem.
 
5-13. I will get the best of you.
 
@badp I still need to get a gamepad.
 
I just need to delay the second to last jump a bit. :/
And the third.
And the first.

Q: Name of this old playstation game?

dArKEyeZI'm trying to remember a game me and my brother used to play like over 10 years ago.

And it had weapons and gear that y...

@NickT I'm sure they put a tracker on his body so that you can follow his progress through underwater currents on the internet.
