5:00 PM
So, apparently AMD was caught doing stupid things with their chips, such as having pairs of cores sharing FPUs and pipelines.
 
Apparently, "John Cena" is a recognizable name in Fallout 4. As in, Codsworth has audio for it.
 
@Sterno You missed the greater than symbol.
 
How about Rebecca Black?
 
I think you missed that, too.
 
Pinkie Pie singing A big bowl of ravioli twelve times in a row made my day
 
5:07 PM
@Yuuki What's the source of that?
 
@Sterno Some dude got an early copy and is trying out names on request.
So take it with a grain of salt.
 
@Yuuki Early copy of what? Spider-Gwen? And I don't follow what you mean by "trying out names on request"
<- is completely confused by Marvel's release schedule
 
Fallout 4
 
Oh. I was responding to your image, not the Fallout 4 thing
 
@Sterno Ah, I see.
 
5:10 PM
I've been getting all the new Marvel #1s and 80% of them are total shit.
 
The comic would be Web Warriors #1.
@Sterno Pretty much.
Did you know that Iceman is now (and apparently always was) gay?
 
@Sterno Silly @Sterno. You don't buy #1's to read.
You put them away for decades and then sell them for insane amounts of money.
 
@Yuuki Well, with the new continuity, whatever.
If they're trying to say he was gay even when clearly not gay, that's different.
@Frank A) No, because most of these are shit. B) Not in today's collector market.
 
@Sterno New Iceman went up to old Iceman and convinced him that he was gay.
 
Unless you get one of those uber-rare #1 covers that they only ship to stores that have already ordered like 1000 of the title
Marvel is extra confusing right now since the whole multiverse merging thing hasn't ended yet, but all the new titles have begun.
Are we supposed to have any idea wtf is going on?

Q: It wont let me access any heavy vehicle in my hangar. GTA V

Leunsui was wondering if anyone could help on on this. So, i bought a hangar and a tank, and i went to my hangar to get the tank but all it says is "Planes purchased from websites or that you land here will be stored here, along with ground vehicles too large for a garage." Does anyone know how to make...

 
@Sterno I don't think so.
 
Also, Dan Slott is the first Spider-Man writer that actually made me wish JMS was back on the comic.
 
Something about mystery or something.
 
And JMS was terribad
I wonder if "WTF is going on in the Marvel Universe?" would be acceptable on SciFi.SE?
 
Also, Deadpool funding the Avengers is confusing as f--k.
 
5:15 PM
> This editorial move makes one of Marvel's most iconic and high-profile heroes a gay man
Iceman is "iconic and high-profile"?
 
Well, he is one of the better-known X-Men.
Still not iconic though.
 
I bet he doesn't even crack the top 5
Maybe, maybe Top 10
(yes, I know he was an original X-man, but only old people like me know that)
Wait, so even after the world-bending madness, there's still an old Iceman and a young Iceman?
I have the feeling the resolution of this Battleworld thing is going to be ridiculous. It's just going to be Stan Lee making a cameo, saying "Those of you most profitable survive!", and then an explosion of light.
 
@Sterno I'm not exactly sure what happened, but Beast at some point went into the past and brought the past versions of the X-Men to the future.
 
Yeah, I read that series.
 
And past Jean Grey has been busy convincing people that they're gay.
 
5:21 PM
TIL @Sterno reads comics
 
But my point is, wasn't every single continuity blown-up/merged? Or does issue #600 take place before that?
@Wipqozn Some of them are even good!
(most of them are not)
 
@Sterno This is why I don't read'em
FUCKIN' REBEL FOR LIFE
#thuglife
 
It's comic books, so yes. All continuities are destroyed and merged and reimagined on a daily basis.
 
@Yuuki You don't convince people that they are gay. That makes it sound like you can also convince them not to be gay. And both are pretty wrong.
 
@Arperum Which is why it's rather controversial.
 
5:23 PM
@Arperum I think it's more she's all like "Hey, I'm reading your mind, and you are repressing your gay thoughs"
 
TIL Jean Grey turned Iceman gay.
3
 
@twobugs It's also entirely possible that she's brainwashing people into becoming gay.
 
MUTANTS ARE A THREAT TO THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE
 
Which is messed up.
 
@Yuuki That would... sure be a thing.
 
5:24 PM
I was actually how awful Beast had become.
I wonder if that'll still be a thing in the new continuity. Probably not if Bendis isn't writing it anymore.
 
@Sterno Wait... Beast became YOU?
 
Bendis needs to stop doing team comics.
 
Good heavens.
 
He does solo runs pretty well.
 
@Wipqozn The trick is basically to only read things by Bendis, Ellis, or Vaughan.
 
5:25 PM
Ultimate Spider-Man was great.
 
There are lots of good one-shots
 
@Yuuki This is all sorts of fucked up.
 
@twobugs There's also the whole reading people's minds without their permission thing.
 
@Yuuki It's okay because she usually says sorry right after and then does it again.
 
@Yuuki Yeah but I wonder how much of this will really be touched upon in comics and how much will just be glossed over. I haven't read a lot of Jean stuff (or any telepath stuff, really) but it seems like it's just a "Oh, you darn teeps! laughtrack"
 
5:26 PM
@Sterno And here I am drowning in new Image stuff
 
I mean, Babylon 5 handled it well. But Babylon 5 is one of the greatest TV shows ever made. cc @GnomeSlice
 
Image is definitely better than Marvel/DC
 
@Arperum It's not even far-fetched because Past/Young Angel wanted to go back to their time, but Young Jean brainwashed it out of him.
 
Oh, who writes Lazarus? I like that one too.
 
(shudders)
 
5:28 PM
@Sterno Image publishes it. Don't remember anything about that title other than that
 
I still don't understand why Marvel feels the need to launch a new Howard the Duck comic.
 
DC publishes some good stuff as Vertigo
 
Or why they keep bringing back Spider-Ham
 
@Sterno Comics are a business and the editors/execs want to make quick and easy money I guess
And reviving meme character will do that
 
@Yuuki To be fair, I never followed the comics or anything, so I don't really have a clue what you are talking about, I'm just reacting on stuff I read in here.
 
5:29 PM
I realized I that most of my graphic novel shelf is filled with Image
 
@twobugs I'm not sure that's true. Who the hell actually wants Howard the Duck comics?
And Web Warriors sounded interesting until I found out Peter Porker, Spider-Ham is a main team member.
 
@Sterno Ducks. They need characters to relate to.
 
And a bit of Marvel, in the form of Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, and the Wizard of Oz
 
@Wipqozn Ducks don't pay for comics. They just put it on their bill.
4
 
@Sterno They've been putting him in the Marvel movies (directly shown during Guardians) so meh. Doesn't shock me
 
5:30 PM
@Sterno lololololololol
I'm actually lol'd
That's pretty rad
 
Then some licensed stuff from IDW and Boom
 
Have a star
 
@Sterno You're fired

Q: What should I do if I accidentally start a war?

Babyz420I accidentally started a war with another civ that I was friends with. What can I do to make that civ friendly with me again besides signing a peace treaty?

 
I need to figure out if The Woods is still coming out and my comic shop guy just sucks, or if it's on hiatus. And East of West.
Pretty sure my comic shop guy just sucks at actually ordering my subscriptions
 
5:32 PM
@twobugs No, he's hired.
Just like I hired your mom....*last night*!
OH BUUUURRRNNN
 
Current Image pull list - We Stand On Guard, Paper Girls. I was going to get I Hate Fairyland, but the shop ran out, so I think I'm getting the trade paperback instead
 
I also can't tell yet if Outcast is going to be any good. It's so slow.
 
Current pull list - Switch.
Yeah, my pull list is not all that big.
 
I wonder what it's like to actually have comic shops nearby
I just order everything on Amazon
 
New Anno game.
I hate Ubisoft, but I love Anno games.
 
5:33 PM
And then argue about comics online
 
@Frank Solution: Pirate the game, and then mail the developers a 12-pack.
 
@Wipqozn Step 1: Complete!
Step 2: I'm not sure the postal service accepts liquid parcels.
 
Just order it off Amazon.
 
@twobugs Oh yeah, so do I. I don't really follow that many titles by single issues
 
Pretty sure you can order anything off Amazon
That's where I ordered @twobugs mom from
OH WHAAAAT
ARE YOU SEEING THESE SICK BURNS @GodEmperorDune?
Man, now I miss @OrigamiRobot
 
5:36 PM
That's not really a burn
You can't order humans off Amazon.
You're just being quite the fool.
 
WAIT A MINUTE.
 
urmom's quite the fool.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
 
There's a new season of Continuum? I thought it was cancelled.
 
There isn't a single Diablo-related thing on the BlizzCon schedule.
 
oh right, BlizzCon is happening now or soon
 
5:37 PM
Now AND soon
 
I'm getting Chew, Saga, The Wicked + The Divine, Rat Queens, Sex Criminals, Steven Universe, Hawkeye, Bee and Puppycat and The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl off Amazon
I think I'm following a bit too much all at once
 
@StrixVaria thats not true
 
I also flipped to the Saturday page.
Didn't see anything on any of the 5 stages.
 
@StrixVaria second stage on friday.
 
BlizzCon predictions: Blizzard will talk about the next WoW expansion. Blizzard will talk about the last SC2 expansion, possibly with a release date. Blizzard will announce a price and release date for Overwatch on PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
 
5:39 PM
In a dark red square
 
@Arperum Ctrl+F Diablo has failed me.
 
@Powerlord The last SC2 expansion comes out in 5 days.
 
@StrixVaria Try reaper of Souls
 
@StrixVaria Panel stage 4pm friday
 
Dear Bliz: Plz tell me when Overwatch characters start appearing in HotS. :|
 
5:40 PM
@Arperum I found it now.
 
@Wipqozn Oh whoops, shows how out of the loop I am on that.
 
@Powerlord Yes. You crazy kids.
 
Blood and Tresure - New Content and Features for Reaper of Souls
 
@MadMAxJr Dear Bliz: Please let me play Overwatch.
 
I also forgot to mention HotS at all in those predictions.
 
5:40 PM
@MadMAxJr Real life SC2 players are appearing in Overwatch, so soon
 
Also Bliz, please make some elaborately fantastic announcement of Blackthorne in HotS.
 
@Powerlord All of these things were already announced :P
 
Also, for some reason, I have the $5.99, extra wide version of Black Magick #1 with additional content
 
@twobugs Overwatch's price and release date were announced? Since when?
 
I'm kinda expecting a new Hearthstone adventure to be announced
 
5:41 PM
@Powerlord Leaked through retailers afaik.
 
Bliz: For the trophy, tell me that Rock n' Roll Racing characters with car mounts will appear in HotS
 
Maybe there was an announcement since that.
 
Leaked as $60 for PC/PS4/Xbox One. Spring 2016
I guess that's not announced
 
Did anyone here get into the Overwatch beta?
 
@PrivatePansy I totally forgot about TW+TD.
 
5:42 PM
But we already knew it! They announced WoW expansion as Q3 2016. People are not happy
 
@Wipqozn No :(
 
@Wipqozn @NateKerkhofs did I think
 
@StrixVaria What you can do set is set up a YouTube streaming account and fake a bunch of unique viewers and subscribers.
 
@Wipqozn I heard they gave keys nearly exclusively to big streamers.
 
I got into a beta for a game I was less excited about. >:|
 
5:42 PM
Some guy did that and immediately got an Overwatch beta invite.
 
@Sterno I just got the second volume, and it's mind blowing
 
@Yuuki No thanks.
 
(pun totally intended)
 
Oh, guys, by the way, I watched Supergirl so you won't have to.
And don't. Really. Don't.
 
I don't want to work for it; I just want to have it.
 
5:43 PM
Thanks for the tip Sterno, I was curious.
 
Yay overwatch. goes and plays TF2 instead
 
@Sterno thanks
 
@twobugs I don't know who that is. Do they have a default avataR?
 
A person in this chat. And yes
 
@John Wouldn't surprise me
 
5:43 PM
@Powerlord TF2 needs an update to mock Overwatch's release.
 
@Powerlord I picked up TF2 again lately. Some things just click, and some things I have no clue how anyone ever does, ever. Like grenades.
 
"The future space guns update"
 
@MadMAxJr Well, Valve is apparently getting closer to completing the Matchmaking update
 
@Sterno Yeah, I saw the previews and it looked really bad.
 
@John There are grenades in TF2 now?
 
5:44 PM
Some new changes to it appeared in an unannounced update yesterday
 
@StrixVaria Demoman
 
I know I can piss people off sometimes as DemoMan because I'm pretty good at the timing for the Loose Cannon.
 
I loved the two-shot launcher before it got nerfed
 
@MadMAxJr It was totally overpowered.
 
@Wipqozn It was worse than that.
 
5:45 PM
It was OP, yes, but I loved every minute.
 
It's still pretty powerful even with less damage because it moves incredibly fast.
 
Mostly because it was just so very, very boring.
 
@StrixVaria there is 5h 43m to the diablo talk
 
I did find it amusing that they keep referencing Superman without ever saying the word "Superman", which I presume is for legal reasons
 
5:46 PM
Anyway, TF2's Halloween event is still going on... I forgot if I did my Merasmission last night or not.
It still amuses me that Merasmus has special voice clips when he assigns you a mission to kill him.
 
@John Oh yeah. I played almost exclusively as demoman for a long, long time in my TF2 days.
I loved direct hitting people with the grenades. Still the most satisfying thing in that game.
Although headshots with the sniper bow are close.
 
> Pre-purchase Legion and get a level 100 character boost.
 
@Yuuki not a big surprise, they did the same for WoD
> Pre-purchasing gives you at least one week early access to the Demon Hunter class.
that was a bit more surprising
 
The Demon Hunter early access makes sense. The starting zones for new classes/races are always a nightmare day 1
This'll at least spread it out a bit
 
5:52 PM
true
well it is going to be hell anyway
 
Of course. It's an MMO expansion release/launch
 
since all will be making DH no matter if they are going to play it in the expansion or not
 
I'm frustrated at the projected release date. What was the point of making Warlords a "shorter" expansion if you had it take the same amount of time to produce the next one...?
 
this way they make sure all there players will be going to the expansion zone together on release date instead of some going to the demon hunter starting zone
 
I wonder if this is the last content update for a while.
 
5:59 PM
@MadMAxJr 6.2 is the last major one planned before Legion. There's a small update on the PTR right now but it's by no means a content patch.
 
h3y 4ll!!1!
I'm r3+tr0s4ur
but u can call me r3tr0 t3h pengU1N oF D00m!
hehe so random!
toodles
 
...and he wonders why people associate him with random name changes?
 
Or ignore him for being an annoying git?
 
And with that, it's lunchtime!
Whoops, almost went out the door before I realized that I forgot to cc @TimStone and @Unionhawk.
 
@Yuuki You are thworst
THWORST
 
6:13 PM
@Unionhawk Does that make you thwrong?
 
So. Requiring proof for answers. How do you guys feel about this? Obviously, a strong claim like "No, X isn't possible in Y game" should have some sort of proof, but there's a rabbit hole of "Diablo 3 has 6 classes [citation needed]"
 
@Frank Yes.
 
@twobugs If you think it's reasonable, ask for proof.
 
That's how this works
 
I've just seen a few comments about "this claim requires proof" when it's a completely unreasonable thing to ask for
IE "Demoman is a class in TF2" "Oh yeah? Prove it!"
 
6:15 PM
@twobugs That's unreasonable.
 
You're unreasonable
2
 
@Unionhawk I'm actually a pretty laid back guy.
 
inb4 "well you're always wrong so that means I'm reasonable"
I should get lunch at a place
 
Places are good for lunches
 
Yes
 
6:18 PM
I am having lunch sort of at a place
Like my store has hot meals you can buy
But I mean it's still a Loblaws
 
Bob Loblaw
 
THE STARS AGREE, @FRANK IS UNREASONABLE: DATA ACCEPTED
 
@Unionhawk You didn't put any actual person on it.
So, the stars are saying you're unreasonable.
 
Bob Loblaw?

Q: Can you Super Swim on the Gamecube Version of wind waker on the Wii?

HenryRuizWhat I'm asking is that I could use storage on the gamecube when I play the game. But it seems to be more difficult when play it on the Wii. On a GameCube disc. Since Super swimming is fun, Is it possible when I play the GameCube disc of Wind Waker that I can use storage and in turn, Super Swim?

 
6:29 PM
RIGHT THEN
Anyone heard of the recent situation with Vinesauce?
 
@StrixVaria My problem with it is how incredibly slow the projectile is, coupled with the seeming randomness of how people move.
 
@John That's why people liked the Loch n' Load. It may not bounce off floors like the normal grenade launcher, but it moves considerably faster.
 
@Powerlord Didn't it get nerfed?
 
The Loose Cannon also moved considerably faster, but it does less damage than the Loch n' Load.
 
Or was it the Caber that got nerfed?
 
6:32 PM
@Texenox It can't one-shot classes any more, but it still moves faster.
Plus, now you have a third shot before running out of ammo
 
@Powerlord Aha.
 
Also, Loch n' Load still absolutely destroys buildings, which is important since building repair rates got nerfed in one of the updates
 
@John It's faster than soldier rockets IIRC.
 
Arcing projectiles are weirder than rockets for me
 
The Loose Cannon is the fastest projectile in the game (as far as I know), but it arcs.
It also has the quickest explode time
 
6:35 PM
@StrixVaria Rockets explode instantly though, instead of giving people time to run away from them before they deal the aoe
 
(it always explodes after... 5 seconds? Maybe less)
 
@John Grenades explode instantly if they direct hit, which was the only thing I ever went for.
If it didn't direct hit, I counted it as a missed shot and any damage it did was a disappointing bonus.
 
Speaking of exploding on hits, the Loose Cannon is the only explosive projectile that doesn't explode on hit.
Anyway, I'm done Loose Cannoning the topic. :P
 
@Unionhawk ...but a damn good cop!
 
6:38 PM
Also @Wipqozn, god damn you and your damn Friday link this morning

Apparently my phone sound was on
Hmm. I think I'm going to play some Elite
Or get lunch
OR BOTH
good plan
Ready, BREAK
 
Elite: Dangerous Lunch
 
 
Elite: Lunchplay
 
cc @Ktash
I found that amusing.
 
That looks pretty awesome
 
6:43 PM
So the Fallout 4 pre-load PC will be available tonight.
 
@Yuuki Possibly not for GMG customers, as I don't think they have the keys yet
 
@twobugs Someone on the Reddit post said they got their keys.
 
Oh really? Guess I have no excuse not to buy from GMG tonight then
 
Hello. California is not so bad I guess it is full of booze.

Q: When does festival of the lost end?

majortaco42In Destiny, when does The Festival of The Lost end? I have looked on other websites to find this but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I was wondering if anyone on here knows.

 
6:46 PM
Oh boy, Israel is asking for 2 billion more in aid.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz do you mean "I'm full of booze"?
Or both?
 
So who's heard of the current situation with Vinesauce, then?
 
I don't even know what Vinesauce is
 
@twobugs That group of Twitch streamers who do game corruption streams.
 
@twobugs It's like ketchup but made with tomato vines instead of the plants.
 
6:49 PM
20 mins ago, by Texenox
Anyone heard of the recent situation with Vinesauce?
 
Dude, you just asked this.
If you want to tell someone about it, just post it.
 
@Yuuki ... Does it taste good?
 
@twobugs Have you ever eaten the contents of the bag after mowing the lawn?
 
6:51 PM
@Frank Fine. I just wanted to clarify if people were aware of it (and if people here know what Vinesauce is).
 
@Yuuki For some reason, I haven't.
 
wtf is vinesauce?
 
@Yuuki Have you?
 
Well, what is the current situation with Vinesauce?
 
@Lazers2.0 You mean the one that tells you on the masks, and most of the consuables that the game gives you? 7th Nov.
 
6:52 PM
Two of the streamers got hacked on Twitch by a bellend called Towel.
I thought I'd mention this in case people here knew and/or were fans of Vinesauce.
 
s/hacked/phished
 
@djsmiley2k ?
 
wut?
 
@Texenox He's saying they got phished, not hacked
 
yeah ^^
 
6:53 PM
Oh, that's too bad. I hope they can recover their accounts soon.
 
@murgatroid99 Ah. No, they didn't get phished, they actually got hacked.
 
Ok, now I'm interested
 
> On November 4th, 2015, Exinthevatican (commonly referred to as Vinesauce Joel)‘s YouTube channel and Twitch had been reportedly hacked by Towel, a hacker who had also admitted to hacking Markiplier’s Tumblr account. He changed the YouTube avatar and channel name, and uploaded two videos in which he states that he owns the channel, accompanied with hip-hop music, as well as raiding the chat on his Twitch account, banning almost everyone who commented.
> Towel also gained access to Livebyfoma’s Twitch account and deactivated it upon gaining access. Shortly after, the r/Vinesauce subreddit posted several threads in which the matter was discussed, only to be locked and replaced by a stickied thread by the moderators. The Vinesauce website had its forums shut down temporarily due to an increasing amount of threads related to the hack.
> Reportedly, 4Chan’s /v/ board had also planned a raid towards the hacker, but the thread was deleted as 4chan didn’t allow raids to be planned on the site.
 
...
no
phished.
 
@djsmiley2k I don't think you know what phishing is.
 
6:55 PM
getting access to someones account, via a legit meaning (i.e. password recovery or whatever) is NOT hacking.
I don't think you do :)
 
@djsmiley2k that's not phishing, either
 
phished or social engineered
either way, not hacking.
 
@djsmiley2k Neither of those.
 
Phishing is the attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money), often for malicious reasons, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. The word is a neologism created as a homophone of fishing due to the similarity of using fake bait in an attempt to catch a victim. Communications purporting to be from popular social web sites, auction sites, banks, online payment processors or IT administrators are commonly used to lure unsuspecting victims. Phishing emails may contain links to websites...
Wikipeida is always right.
 
This is a really useful argument.
 
6:56 PM
@StrixVaria not sure if joking
 
Phishing. Like fishing, but to catch people.
 
@MadMAxJr or infomation...
 
@Sterno I can't tell if this was intentional. But it's brilliant.
 
@djsmiley2k This is why we need a sarcasm font
 
According to Wikipedia, only hackers phish. NOW WHO WINS YOUR ARGUMENT?
 
6:57 PM
@murgatroid99 can always do <sarcasm> ?
 
@Sterno NOBODY, THAT'S WHO!
I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY!
 
you know whats fun?
 
ME, THATS WHO
 
I WAS WAITING FOR THE BLOODBATH!
 
@Frank <Fe>
Wait, that's irony.
 
6:57 PM
If I can find someone at lloyds bank with the same name, and birthdate as me, I can close their account.
 
CHECKMATE, @Wipqozn
 
@twobugs We'll, um, go with "yes"
 
You go out in the canoe, but instead of using a worm or other form of fish bait or lure, you place a login prompt or 'dear sir or madam' letter, cast the line into other fishing boats, and you wait for a tug that indicates the form was filed out.
 
I wonder how much traffic Wikipeida gets
 
@MadMAxJr so what is it when you trawl someones facebok page, go back 15 years, find their pets name, dads middle name and school?
 
6:58 PM
I'm kind of surprised there's no page there
 
@djsmiley2k That's an archaeological dig.
 
@Sterno I didn't know @Unionhawk wrote Wikipedia
 
These guys are doing an legit science. Everyone go home! :D
