@3ventic seems like it was correctly closed to me
 
Asked on the release date of the game - closed as question about unreleased content?
I can't say I agree
 
Don't make me Google the release date
 
Nov 22 in EU/NA, Nov 23 in AU, Dec 26 in JP
 
I can't google it anymore since I don't remember what game it was about
but I did google it before I went to bed
 
@3ventic 15 hours ago is before the 22nd, so it was asked when the game was still unreleased
 
1:05 PM
15 hours ago, by Unionhawk
Link Between Worlds is still not released though; it releases on the 23rd in Australia.
 
1 min ago, by FEichinger
Nov 22 in EU/NA, Nov 23 in AU, Dec 26 in JP
 
@kalina before the 22nd for you.
 
@3ventic The regions in which it was the 22nd already didn't have a release on the 22nd.
 
15 hours ago was 22nd for part of Europe
 
@kalina Well. no. 15 hours ago was 00:06 on the 22th in Helsinki, for example.
 
1:06 PM
@3ventic do you have stores open at midnight to buy games?
because if not, it was still unreleased
 
@kalina Yes. Online stores. :)
 
UTC is the only timezone that matters
 
(And depending on the country also some others)
 
FWIW, I don't like that we're being pedants about which hour it happened to be.
 
So you want people to 1) prove to you that there was a shop open at midnight and 2) make them wait possibly half a day for UTC time before they can ask a question
 
1:08 PM
I actually don't care, I'm just being pedantic
 
I've had Amazon deliver before the release date on multiple occasions, it's a very existing possibility.
 
I've always kinda disagreed with the speculation rule for stuff that is being released tomorrow
but the reason we have it, is because we've got a handful of members who will go and post 10-20 questions the day before a game is released
 
And yes, there are shops that start selling games/electronic products at midnight on release date
 
If that "EU" release included Russia, it was actually already past 02:00 there 15 hours ago.
More than enough time to buy the game, go home and play it.
 
I would assume Europe includes Russia
 
1:10 PM
 
@3ventic It most often doesn't, actually.
Different legal rules, you need a Russian partner for distribution of physical goods, stuff like that make it hard for companies to make simultaneous releases in the EU and Russia.
 
Well it surely isn't a part of NA/JP, is it? And it's usually a very bad idea not to release a game in Russia..
 
@FEichinger I don't like that we're getting people putting their question in beforehand, but it might very well be a bad case of the perpetual mondays
 
@OrigamiRobot based on how close this was to "release date", and the fact that in some regions of the areas the game was being released in it was technically release date at the time the question was asked, this shouldn't have been closed or deleted in my opinion
 
Stop pinging me when I'm about to get naked!

1:12 PM
@badp would you mind undeleting it or publicly ending what will be an on going back and forth over semantics in here?
 
Well, I need to go for a bit so I'll just leave you my bottom line here: it was an overkill to close and delete an isolated case of right-on-time question with the assumption that it wasn't released yet
 
@kalina I would. The question is gone. Just ask it again if you care.
 
boo
@OrigamiRobot Why?
 
if the release date was the 22nd in EU, then half of the EU was on release day when the question was asked
 
Personally I found the question rather crappy to begin with
 
1:13 PM
well I don't disagree with that
I think closing and deleting it sets a pretty poor precedent though
 
I think "close and delete questions about unreleased games" is precisely what we want?
 
it wasn't unreleased
it was technically released
15 hours ago, it was the 22nd in half of europe
 
then it was ruined by undeserved downvotes and off-topic comments and it's cleaner to start anew
 
@OrigamiRobot OooooOOooooOooooOoooOoooo...
 
downvotes got removed, reputation got refunded, comments are gone, just ask again: it's cleaner.
 
1:16 PM
it's not very friendly to said user that asked it though
 
no one is going to argue semantics if you ask now, although we may argue if it isn't too broad
I might frown upon "how are Half Life and Half Life 2 different?"
 
oh yeah the question doesn't look to great but that doesn't warrant deletion or people accusing it of being off topic for being unreleased
 
@kalina I mod abused a comment on the question
 
yay mod abuse
at least it's some form of communication with the user
 
honestly if you ask questions this close to release date, you ought to expect this kind of stuff
:P
 
1:19 PM
It's the American's fault

they need to use a little intelligence when considering questions that close to release time

@Simon no
 
... o.ô
 
@kalina Will you be nerding your way through Christmas?
 
no it looks like I'm going to be hat collecting again
 
1:23 PM
I wanna do that too.
 
on your little backwater site you won't get many hats
 
I'd rather get a few on my backwater site than a bunch of a nerdy site.
 
how you can call any site nerdy when your little backwater site is Information Security is completely beyond me
 
I'll rather get a bunch on Steam than SE
 
@kalina BLA BLA BLA

@kalina America told me Canada was to blame
 
@boo blame America for everything

I got attacked by a polar bear on my way to my car this morning again.

Not sure.
I still don't know if you're a bot or not.
 
On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

You have no idea.
 
yes, that's right, I am an extremely intricate artificial intelligence
 
Grr, woof. Uhm, I mean, yes, you're correct.

So, the new Zelda game is out today in Europe and North America.
 
@RedRiderX wat. That's so totally not "whatever"
 
Now we'll find out if people dislike it or not.
 
@Powerlord Aren't the Zelda games released after OoT irrelevant?
 
"Whatever" is a slightly opened hand, curved inward, revolving in a "please fast-forward the tape fashion"
 
1:35 PM
@Simon No.
 
@badp ?
 
Well, depends on which one you mean.
 
@badp What about "Whatevs"?
 
@Simon In my defence, I just want to see the inevitable fire.
 
1:36 PM
@RedRiderX Oh lawd.
 
Okay, I'm done with spamming pics. :P
@Simon whatevs has had a rough time of it as of late.
 
@RedRiderX Why do you have all the awkward hand gestures
 
Ponies suck.

@RedRiderX NO! I've been one-upped! BY BACON!

@RedRiderX Spacon
 
1:41 PM
@boo Indeed.
 
Can we cut down on the image spam, perhaps?
 
You guys are really obnoxious this morning. Congratulations. Usually it takes RB links to accomplish that.
 
@Powerlord Oh dang!
Ok I'm done the image spam for reals this time.
 
@Sterno Speaking of which, it is Friday.
 
@RedRiderX Apparently @FEichinger doesn't like our Spam images.
 
1:42 PM
@Powerlord Apparently.
 
@BenBrocka Is it just me or did that really read like an elaborate conspiracy theory?

Shit. Now you got me an idea.
Not one I'll actually work on, because I neither have time nor tools here right now, but ... damn. That's a mighty fine idea.
 
boo
@FEichinger ...
@FEichinger pray tell
 
@boo Noes! You would steal the idea from me!
 
@FEichinger Where did he got you this idea?
 
boo
@FEichinger And probably implement it
 
1:52 PM
@boo Exactly! So, no.
 
boo
@FEichinger I did give it to you in the first place, right?
 
@boo Psh. Who cares! It's my idea now!

@FEichinger what, the Crash logo in the new Sony ad? Wouldn't be the first time a gaming company has hidden a teaser in something else. More compelling is the sudden removal of all mention of Crash from Activision stuff (if they ever mentioned him; I don't think he's anything but a Skylanders toy to them)

Q: How do you connect a 3.5mm headphone/mic to DS4 and get audio in both ears?

turboI tried using the mic that came with the PS4, but I didn't like the way that it fit in my ear. Instead, I opted to buy a pair of earbud headphones that included a mic. I plugged it into my DS4, but I only hear audio out of the left earbud. I would be okay with this, except the mic on this pair...

@BenBrocka Her fake cheerfulness is starting to get to me.
 
@Sterno I just look at the pics
I can't believe how simple these consoles are inside after opening a fat PS3. I know they're PC hardware inside now but damn
 
2:42 PM
So replacing the HDD on the XBOne apparently voids the warranty, but they don't mention any warranty void stickers. How would MS know?
 
Oh thank god it only voids the warranty, it can still be replaced?
 
Morning, Bridge
 
@BenBrocka Yeah, assuming you can format the new drive properly (or the XB1 will do it for you). Just pop some clips, removes some standard screws, and you're in.
 
oh yeah that is a standard drive in there
didn't the 360 use some weird proprietary drive?
 
2:47 PM
@BenBrocka No, it was a standard drive, but wrapped in a proprietary enclosure
 
Could you just slip another HDD into the enclosure?
 
The Torment: Tides of Numenera Kickstarter has a vote on whether it should have turn-based combat or pausable real-time combat. The vote is currently at 4944 real-time to 4964 turn-based
That is a much more even split than I would have thought.
 
@RedRiderX This is totally the next step in promotional websites.
And I'm happy about it.

@tombull89 It rhymes!
 
I wish this cafe was in my area.
Oh my gosh this makes King of Tokyo look so cool.

Are you saying I shouldn't be cold just because you have a tiny bit of snow?
 
I'm saying you shouldn't be cold because my lake is frozen
 
@3ventic You have a lake? I am so jealous
 
Ah. What passes for a lake around here is also frozen.
 
I have to drive 45 minutes to get to my sailing club
 
@SaintWacko It's not really my lake, it's just easier to say than "the lake that's right next to my house"

@Sterno I approve of this.
 
Good morning, Bridge
 
@Sterno I wanted to link to David Tennant and Crew dancing to this song, but it appears that the video has been taken down. :(
 
3:25 PM
@Sterno IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE BAD?
 
@OrigamiRobot Saving quote for future reference.
 
@Sterno There was also a video that was more ~3 minutes long and had the whole production crew in it.
That's the one that seems to be missing.
Probably because it had the whole song in it. :(
 
@Sterno :o
 
WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THIS "KEEP CALM" STUFF?
 
3:28 PM
That's one of those awesome songs where you only need one line to have it play in your mind.
 
Keep Calm and Carry On was a motivational poster produced by the British government in 1939 several months before the beginning of the Second World War, intended to raise the morale of the British public in the aftermath of widely predicted mass air attacks on major cities. until a collection of 20 originals was brought in to the Antiques Roadshow in 2012 by the daughter of an ex-Royal Observer Corps member.
