Q: Create new Starcraft 2 account on battlenet

AardvarkMy buddy recently bought a used copy of Starcraft 2 from a friend and wanted to make himself an account. If he has the existing account information will Blizzard reset his battle.net account for a fee? (Letting him pick his own name and new stats?)

 
12:19 AM
May I assume you mean the "Buying minecraft premium" post?
 
Wait for it...
Yes. :)
 
Indeed. My pitchfork is sharpened!
 
@Feeds BURN IT!
 
@JavadocMD Its already -4, with a close and a flag from me. I think its on its way to the door, soon to be shown out.
 
Well our work here is done.
 
12:22 AM
@JavadocMD But the smell for burning offtopic is quite wonderful. Am I right?
 
Like victory perfume.
 
Do mods see who flags a post, or just the reason?

Q: Is it possible to play Starcraft 2 at an Internet Cafe without a licence?

AkuseteI recently tried to check out Starcraft 2 at an internet cafe before deciding to buy it. However it would not let me play the game without a battle.net account. After registering for the account it would still not let me play because the account did not have the correct license attached. What is...

 
anyone else see this layout quirk?
 
12:35 AM
@Brant Yeah, it's started happening to me in the past day or so.
Make a Meta post?
 
on it
 
(I've been getting it in Safari under OS X FWIW.)
 
Chrome here
 
@Brant About flags, I don't know, and all I found was "Users with the Moderator Tools privilege can see how many offensive flags a post has accrued, and may opt to flag it themselves." from the reputation pages explaination.

Q: StackExchange™ SuperCollider SuperDropdown™ NotificationDot® is still out of position

Brant Google Chrome/OSX. .unreadCount needs margin-top: 3px to fix, the stylesheet specifies 0px. Related question?

 
12:44 AM
oops, it's MultiCollider
 
1:07 AM
Looks like TN in that font, rather than TM
Neat.
 
I just saw the season finale for Legend of Neil. I was entertained.
 
I'm hooked on dubstep. Crap.
 
Is that just a genre of music or is there something else to it?
 
You shan't be disappointed, I think.
That particular track kind of blurs the lines though... It's sort of dubstep.
 
If it replaces rap, I'm all for it.
 
1:18 AM
It obliterates rap.
Wait, you mean replaces in pop culture?
Because that probably isn't going to happen.
 
One can dream.
 
What do you think?
Mt Eden is incredible.
 
I like it.
 
Did you make sure to switch to 480p?
 
That doesn't look like the actual waveform we're listening to... I find that extremely bothersome.
 
1:22 AM
I found this before you posted that one. I like it a little more.
 
@JavadocMD The actual waveform would likely be much less pretty.
 
@GnomeSlice No doubt, but so much more interesting.
 
@Raven > Is that where your comment about rap came from? :)
This is real dubstep.
 
Personally as far as hip hop derivatives go, I'm all about the new Das Racist personally.
 
Bionic Commando DubStep? Yes please.
I should really stop posting videos.
 
1:49 AM
Anyone know what the deal is with that lady at the beginning of Black Ops?
 
Probably Marines.
 
I can't get it to come up again

Q: Where do Minecraft texture packs go on OS X?

Brant I play Minecraft on OS X and for some reason clicking this button doesn't do anything. Where should I be putting my texture packs?

Q: Are there ANY "good guys" in the Mojave Wasteland?

John RudyI'm 100+ hours in to my first playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas, and I'm getting to the point where I will soon have to "make a choice" regarding the future of the Wasteland. Until I met Yes-Man (I so need someone like him in the real world, preferably armed), I was ready to side with the NCR. ...

 
if its plot related I don't want to know
I want to discover it
I just can't make that video happen again...
 
Oak
@Brant I have full confidence that tzenes can convert any sentence, no matter how strange it may appear, to a valid question or answer. Or both.
 
Ah, but can he do it in reverse?
 
Oak
See? He did it!

Q: How do I trigger the Cinematic at the beginning of Black Ops

tzenesAt the beginning of Call of Duty Black Ops, before the start screen, there was a cinematic of a lady talking into a microphone. She said the word Ascension and then followed by a series of numbers. Now I don't want to know why they showed me that if its anything plot related, but I would like t...

I knew you wouldn't let me down :)
 
I can't find anything on youtube about this
I'm starting to think I hallucinated it
 
Oak
I answered it for you.
 
I thought it wasn't prerendered!
its a real video
 
Hello Tzenes, Oak.
 
Oak
Yo
Congrats on 10k
 
2:13 AM
Thanks.
I'm rooting for you to hit that next, Oak. :)
 
hi @raven
 
@GnomeSlice I really like that.
 
@Raven > Which?
 
Oak
@Raven I hope I reach that before I'm ousted from my temporary modship :)
 
Viva la revolution!
Off with his head!
 
2:16 AM
NO MODS NO MASTERS
 
NO MODERATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!
 
@GnomeSlice that one.
 
Bionic Commando?
Ha, that game was awesome.
 
Oak
I don't actually own the game @tzenes, so I'm afraid I don't know how to trigger it. I just found it quickly on Youtube; I guess my google-fu is stronger than yours :)
Reserve your "accepted answer" to one that can help you with that
 
@tzenes > Have you tried not touching anything for a few minutes?
^ Said the obvious...
 
2:33 AM
@GnomeSlice yeah
and deleting the update
etc
this game feels more like a movie than a game
 
2:48 AM
@Brant What's the rabble about?
 
@Tzenes I watched the movie -- looked like the Announcer from TF2, actually, I think.

Q: What are the rules for territory ownership when you raze a city?

AkuseteIf I raze a conquered city its territory returns to neutral ownership. However suppose I have multiple cities clustered together, it is not always possible to know which tiles I will loose when razing a city. Since I am a relatively peaceful player I have not had the chance to experiment with th...

what is this I don't even
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Whatever it is, I must have it.
 
well, I mean, I know what it's a screenshot of (one of the starting areas in WoW, in the newest beta build, full of puppies). I'm just not sure how all the puppies got there.

Q: Melee/Unarmed special attacks in V.A.T.S.: what do they all do?

LessPop_MoreFizzOnce you have sufficient Melee/Unarmed skill, you unlock additional, special attacks with those combat skills, both in and out of VATS (to use them out of VATS, you need to do a power attack - hold the attack button down, in combination with moving in a direction for varied results).

Q: Does XBox gamepad emulator software exist for the PC?

dlanodWhat I'm hoping to do is use a second keyboard and/or mouse in the place of a gamepad for games that require a gamepad to enable multiplayer gaming. I've noticed a few games that are XBox ports have this requirement so was hoping someone could point me to some software.

Q: Doe the Rocket Artillery in Civ5 have to set-up prior to firing?

MartinThe civilopedia entry states that the rocket artillery does not need to set-up prior to firing. Yet it seems in my games it needs to, just as any other artillery unit. Is the civilopedia entry wrong?

 
8:38 AM
anyone on?
 
Done
also added close vote

can't sadly :(

in General on Ubuntu Chat, 1 min ago, by badp
quick question, I was SSHing in a computer and it rebooted. Now SSH is hung. What's the magic keyboard combo to unstuck it?
 
you expect me to know?
I'm a Windows Super User, who hates networking problems
 
I figured you were bored :P

I hate it that I have no idea how to check if things are working

Q: Vote locked? But I haven't voted on the answer...

Raven DreamerI was trying to vote on Jin's answer to this question, but for some reason Stack Exchange thinks I've already voted on it. I don't particularly care if my vote doesn't get counted in this instance, but I still think this is some bug. Neither up nor down votes work -- both give the same message.

 
1:33 PM
@badp Ctrl+Alt+Del. :P
The Magic Kick-in-the-pants, if you're using windows.
 
2:07 PM
@GnomeSlice I prefer ctrl-shift-esc
so, how flies the HeartGaming AskQuestion mothership? Is everything smooth on this ethereal sea?
 
@CRoss looks so
 
2:18 PM
@CRoss As do I.
 
amazing how many people don't know that one
and ctrl+r
can't survive without it
but alas, OT
 
ctrl+shift+esc is much more effective in Windows 7.
 
ctrl+r? refresh?
 
sorry, win+r
run
 
oh yeah I use win+r all the time

Q: What is the significance of the times after the closing credits in Diddy Kong Racing 64?

StrixVariaAfter defeating Wizpig in space in Adventure 2 (and possible after the normal adventure; I can't quite remember as it's been some time since I've played), when the credits roll, there are times given for each of the levels. These times are extremely fast, and I remember only ever being able to b...

Q: Does working a tile with a city transfer ownership of the tile to that city?

bwarnerThis stems from the comments on this question. Imagine two cities, A and B, close enough that one can work the tiles that were acquired by the other (either through purchasing them or through cultural expansion). If a tile was acquired by A, and I manually select the tile to be worked by B, doe...

Q: In Civ5, is there any point to immediately annexing a city?

MartinFollowing up to this answer, given that a newly conquered city will spend a few turns of zero production ("rioting") after that, will be hampered in production because of diminished population and destroyed buildings, so that building a courthouse will take very long is there any point reall...

look at your woman, now back to me!

@IvoFlipse huh. Much more direct about selling with sex than most commercials.
 
it's a copy of an old spice commercial
 
what was that video encoding tool again?
 
VirtualDub
 
10:12 PM
@IvoFlipse You and your European lack of modesty
advertising newspaper soft-porn in gaming
 
10:23 PM
admit you appreciate it ;)
 
@WillfulWizard Not only what @ivo said, but the newspaper being sold is kind of infamous for it's soft-porn photoshoots on Page 3 so... Yeah, they're selling with sex. Seeing as sex is basically the product, that makes sense.
 
I wouldn't know, I don't know Page 3
just saw the add in my rss feed
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hmm. Using sex appeal to sell sex? That makes too much sense. Couldn't be true.
 
someone explain to me what happened here:
