What about the Pokemon eating one?

no referral from search engines, that I know of

I don't know how but there's 1 referral from "call of duty 4 not play in full screen in windows 7"

@Eric I've been collecting at as close to 0:30 UTC as I can, though I've occasionally been as much as 4 hours late. I haven't yet figured out when the stats update, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen within that block of time.

@Krazer lol wtf?

@Krazer Do you know what link they clicked after they searched that? I'm really curious as to which question had those keywords, lol.

@LoganM They seem to update more than once a day (at least, some of them do). But I would suspect it's something like once every 6 hours or once every 12 hours, synced with midnight.

@Eric Already got the announcer badge. I guess I really do get that much traffic on my website. lol

@Mysticial Wow, lol. That was fast.

Yeah what was that, 1 night?

I can totally abuse this... But I won't.

Two, I think. Depends when you finally got around to updating it. ;)

Pretty much at the same time I mentioned it here.

Normally the way to farm those badges is to spam reddit - which they obviously don't like. And it's traceable...

Yeah, I can imagine. I've never publicized any of my answers.. none of them are that good, lol. I can see myself getting a lot of downvotes on reddit for even trying.

@Mysticial If all you want is an announcer badge, it's rather easy if you're at a university or somewhere else with public computers. It doesn't really matter where you post the link, just log in from 25 computers and go to it. You could get announcer badges for a dozen questions in an afternoon or so.. Getting 300 or even 1000 is quite a bit harder.

@LoganM You have time to find 25 computers to log in from? lol

Obviously nobody cares about the bronze or silver badges. :)

And I wouldn't go through all that effort for just a badge.

@Eric The computer lab down the hall from me has around 30 computers. There's one in our school library with 50. It's not too hard to get enough computers to do it. Not that I've done this, but it doesn't seem hard.

Anyways, my plane's about to leave the gate. Laters.

@Mysticial People create fake accounts to upvote their own posts just to get Mortarboard. I've seen it many times on MSO. The serial upvoting gets reversed the next day and the other account gets banned, and sometimes the main user is suspended, but they keep the Mortarboard badge.

@Mysticial See you!

@LoganM That's really sad...

@Eric This is just keyword analytics so I don't know how this came about

@Krazer Darn. It's just weird, though. Our site is not in the first 10 pages of Google when I search it. Gaming.SE is, but not us.

might be form a gaming.se community ad?

Hm. I'm not sure the keywords would remain after an ad, but it's possible (depending on how SE structures their ad links).

I stumbled on the Canadian DBZ opening while looking for clues

... Yeah... That's what we get in Canada. This is why I watch only Japanese subbed versions now, lol.

@Krazer If you're using the mod tool analytics, there are sometimes mixups in the results that aren't actually right. Usually results from other sites.

So if you see a search string that is easiest explained as pointing at another site, it's entirely likely that it is indeed pointing at another site and the analytics tool is being dumb.

@GraceNote this is true. Looking at it now the result is gone

Wish me luck/vote well

@MadaraUchiha Good luck! (Does this count? :D) Hopefully people will understand that some people can handle moderating two sites.

@Eric @Alenanno here is a triple diamond.

Indeed.

@Eric Madara-sama need no luck! It's already in the bag.

helllo

@Krazer If only that damn kit wouldn't have stood in my way, I would be able to cast my Mugen Tsukuyomi by now and take over the world Stack Overflow!

@user58512 Yo :)

@user58512 Allo thar

im doing my math homework

Good evening puny humans! Hulk voice

@Alenanno Puny?

Do you know who I am?

Uh-oh.

Cat fight.

@MadaraUchiha I said "humans", you're a ninja!

XD

I'm the man who's gonna BURN your house down. With the LEMONS!

@Alenanno I am a GOD you dull creature!

I will not be bullied by...

:P

Lemons?

Seriously?

:P

Alenanno missed his cue. :(

@Alenanno Combustible lemons

lol

youtube.com/…

@Alenanno ^^^

:P

@Alenanno You need to play Portal

Then Portal 2

I miss C&C. :(

Note that I didn't say "should" or "have to". You need to.

I volunteer to send him portal 2

Portal series is <3

@Krazer For free? :D

Yesh

ahah

how would you like it delivered?

By trebuchet!

Do it!

@Krazer Summon Kyuubi? Ask Madara for help. :P

@Eric it didn't work well the last time now enough range

One of the only games from a well-know company I actually bought.

Portal and Portal 2

@Krazer Perhaps you need a 14,000 pound trebuchet, then? :)

@Eric moar powar! use the railgun!

YES! :D

@MadaraUchiha you would probably enjoy this

@Krazer Definitely, I'm planning on getting it

I'm simply busy with other stuff at the moment

@MadaraUchiha best thing about it is that it's free

@Krazer I know :D

@MadaraUchiha allow me to assist you with this "other stuff"

@Krazer Stack Overflow mod nomination :D

this site

several projects in web development

And IAF (which I am soon to be freed of it)

I can assist with two of the four

hey

@Krazer do you know how black mesa relates to Portal?

because Glados talks about black mesa

@MadaraUchiha I'll vote for you when the time comes :)

@MadaraUchiha Heil, mein Führer!

@Washu Like I said, please don't. It gives a wrong connotation :(

Ok ok u.u

@MadaraUchiha Potentially stupid question: What differentiates comments and answers on discussion meta posts? I'm always unsure as to whether my thought(s) should go in a comment or answer.

@Eric Use a comment if you want to add details, arguments or data to the suggested discussion topic/question.

If you want to share your opinion, do so in an answer, (but do write an answer, not a one-liner)

@MadaraUchiha So this comment is good as-is? (As an answer, it would need more support/info?)

@Eric I think you should post it as an answer.

Add details on why you agree, what makes you disagree about his order, finer points, etc.

@MadaraUchiha Okey-dokey. I was looking for an excuse to take a break from homework, anyway. :D

@Eric Pfft, what subject?

@MadaraUchiha Ugh, Morality. When he said we had to write a "paper", I thought it would be an essay. Which can be fun! But nope, we're assessing an argument. It's 25% of our grade and boring as a stick.

Maybe even more boring. With a stick, I can use my imagination.

And I'm in Boston...

@Mysticial Have a Boston creme donut, my treat. I'll pay you back when I'm famous.

@Mysticial how did your trip go?

@Eric Seriously? "Morality"?

@MadaraUchiha Seriously. Hold a moment, I'll show you.

@JNat Not very comfortable bus ride. Okay sit at the airport. Somewhat comfortable flight.

Sounds like "Brainwash" to me.

Then a bit of milling around trying to figure out how to get to the hotel.

Since I don't know the Boston area well.

@Mysticial I have two 5 hour bus rides weekly

@MadaraUchiha Clicky

@Mysticial never had a comfortable flight...

Middle seats suck.

@Mysticial Back seats sucker.

I can usually sleep through much of a long flight in the window seat though.

Close to the engine. Hot, smells and vibrating.

any ryanair sit sucks much more

But the flight isn't too long.

@JNat @Krazer @Mysticial I think we should schedule a meeting this weekend.

@MadaraUchiha fine by me

It's the transcontinental flights that are painful.

Social pages management (both managers and content)

@MadaraUchiha Sure.

Though the choice is rather obvious :)

Although I'm not involved in the social pages.

Longest flight I've ever been on is San Francisco to Hong Kong. 15 hours

I've done those quite a few times.

Second longest is probably Buenos Aires to Washington DC. 12 hours

@Mysticial my longest flight was from Brussels to Venice... just 4 hours or so

lame :)

@MadaraUchiha Fine by me.

@JNat Black Mesa and Aperture are basically rivals at odds with one another. Aperture beat BM to the portal technology. Both games are in the same universe

@Krazer ah! so I guess I should get to that one next :)

about how much time of gameplay does it have?

around the same as Portal?

@JNat probably 8-10 hours of gameplay for singleplayer

@Krazer oh, that's a bit longer than Portal

and even Portal 2, which is longer than the first one

nice

@JNat it depends on how you play. Multiplayer is adds a bit more to the second one

I'm off to bed

Tomorrow I'll probably have like 15 messages in my inbox :P

@Krazer yeah, but I haven't been able to play multiplayer... whistles

@MadaraUchiha sleep tight :)

@MadaraUchiha Only 15? :P

night

@JNat it's a lot of fun, you should play with Alenanno when he gets it

well, I'm off

cya

@JNat take me with you~
