4:01 PM
That's weird, trying again... and this time, it says it only needs 950 instead of 1150... oh well, downloading now
 
@CruelCow It shouldn't have the tag. The question could be reverted to "How can I complete Revealing the Unseen without the use of the Console or Mods", and is relevant to PS3 users, and PC players that want an 'in-game' fix for the quest.
The fact that he's playing on the 360 is relevant to the question, certainly, but it doesn't fit the fairly narrowly defined criteria of the tag, which is that he's not asking about something unique to the 360 version.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz He is.
He's asking for a solution unique to the 360 version.
 
I wonder how many times I've said, "Leather, rinse, repeat"
 
@ArdaXi No he isn't. The solution he wants is one that is relevant to PS3 players, and PC players who don't want a Console solution.
The bug in question isn't unique to the 360 version, and there is nothing special about the 360 version that would give him access to any sort of special or different solution.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Then we need a tag for that.
As it stands, the fact he's using a 360 is relevant to the question.
 
4:10 PM
It's relevant to the question, but it does not fit the fairly narrowly defined criteria that we use for platform tags
@ArdaXi Why is the text of his question insufficient for making this fact clear?
 
Hrm, I never paid much attention to how we started to define tags. Guess it must've got out of hand...
 
@ArdaXi Platform tags are specifically for questions about the system hardware or software, or for game content or features unique to a specific release.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I remember a while ago we didn't even need to put "on the xbox 360 version" in the question to make it clear.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Like I said, out of hand.
That's not what that tag used to mean.
 
@ArdaXi It doesn't have to be in the title strictly speaking. The question itself says "I don't have access to mods or the console", which is enough information to rule out those solutions IMO.
 
We used to apply platform tags unless it applied clearly to every version.
 
4:14 PM
@ArdaXi but this does apply clearly to every version. That's my point. The version he's playing restricts the answers available to him to a subset of all answers available, but any answer he gets is relevant to all players. By contrast, if he were playing on the PC and wanted the console code to resurrect an NPC, a solution provided would only be of interest to people playing on the PC.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's relevant to all players unless PC players except for those who don't want to use console commands or mods.
You know, I think it could easily be a duplicate of that other question, to be honest.
Especially if what you're saying is right and it's relevant to all users, not just console users.
Seeing as there are 11 answers to that question, and only one involves console commands.
 
@ArdaXi Agreed.
Vote to Close cast.

I fail at CS:Source... Can't even work out how to join a game! I am in... after a minute it went to the next map... I selected a team, but, everyone is playing already... timer went out, and, I am still not playing!
 
@WilliamHilsum, you have to join a team (usually by default you're spectating) and then you'll have to wait for a round to start
I think when you join a server it will bring up the team selection menu
 
Yeah, I selected... but... it isn't working... a round just started, and, I am still spectating :(
 
usually it's the M key, then you have to pick terrorist or counter terrorist, and then a skin
 
@WilliamHilsum You have to wait out a round.
 
it's been a long, long time though.
 
4:56 PM
You can't join in the middle.

Q: What affect do the lesser character stats have?

MufasaThere are 6 major character stats (Strength, Presence, etc.) plus Expertise for PvP. On your character sheet, you can mouse over the stat and it gives you a decent summary of what the stat does. (More melee damage, increase effectiveness of your companion, etc.) But there are 9 other stats that ...

Q: Can companions have their own Light/Dark side rating?

MufasaMy companion's character sheet has a light/dark side rating, though it is at 0. Is there a way for them to become more good/bad by making, or forcing them to make, alignment choices? Or is this a bug in the UI and should be removed? Bioware already removed the Social/Valor bars and replaced t...

 
Huh. I always thought having my browser open with 4 CPU-intensive tabs would decrease performance.
But CS:S stress-test gives me 109Hz without, 116Hz with.
 
5:11 PM
Hz?
 
FPS
 
5:26 PM
Ok... I really suck at CS!
 
Hardly surprising :)
 
Yeah! I just got the hotshot achievement!
 
No offense meant - it's a game that's been out for like 10 years now?
 
probably against me... I just got shot in the head!
 
12?
The skill spread in games such as Quake 3/Live or CS:S is so, so vast
it's probably part of the lure, or the point
 
5:28 PM
What is the quickest way to get items/get this achievement? Can I really do it on my own?... whoever said that before? I am getting nothing here :/
 
I tried to get the presents in DOD:S, I played probably 20 minutes and got a dozen kills and didn't see a single present
 
user15026
Is there a way to remove non-Steam games from my Steam library?
 
user15026
(I wasn't sure if this is something on-topic on the site.)
 
Noooo... I saw a present or something on the floor and... I died as I tried to grab it!
 
@AshleyNunn I think if you right click on the game name, there's an option.
 
user15026
5:42 PM
@agent86 So there is :) (I have two copies of Puzzle Agent installed, apparently, and wanted to make the copy I got from GamersGate leave my library list. I think I was just trying to remove the wrong one XD)
 
@AshleyNunn I could see that being confusing :)
 
user15026
@agent86 Thanks for the help. :)
 
@AshleyNunn np, anytime :)
15 minutes until Steam tells me in what way I will be poorer today
 
@agent86 It's probably the "recap" sale, which has the best deals of the previous days.
 
@Powerlord agreed that this is likely. Perhaps today will be gentle on my wallet then.
 
5:56 PM
Well, I just played CS:S for the first time in years, managed to get one present.
 
is there any way to say "I can't help with this flag" in the moderator tools? Some of the flags are on questions or answers where I don't know enough to help with them, but they always show up in my flag list.
 
Hello everyone!
 
@Tristan hello
 
Whoa! Revelations for $20 on Steam? That's pretty awesome... @Blem How are you today?
 
what's the game on homepage, right top corner?
on steam store
 
6:05 PM
got a bit of a hangover
 
@badp Dead Island
 
6:17 PM
Bleah, Steam Community isn't working
 
@badp It's Xian from Dead Island
 
uh... dead island isn't available in Italy?

Yeaaaaaaaah encore day!
 
...it is

6:23 PM
Although I'm going to buy it as a gift and then wait until the end of January before unpacking it.
 
@badp Why would it not be?
 
@ArdaXi no idea.
 
@badp You broke YouTube. Congratulations.
 
@ArdaXi It was really worth it.
 
6:30 PM
@badp Nice one...
 
@badp You're missing an 'E' at the end, if you haven't noticed yet.
 
@TimStone Wow.
 
@Ullallulloo thanks
 
@Mana balpha is a dangerously crazy man.
 
@TimStone I come to this realization more and more every day.
 
6:34 PM
oh.
I see why Dead Island didn't really figure on the homepage
its sale is... broken
 
How broken?
 
there's no "percent off"
Oh, the homepage now has it
 
@Mana don't you have a Steam account?
 
@IvoFlipse Yeah; I don't go on that often though
 
6:47 PM
Does anyone here want to play Dungeon Defenders?
 
I'm trying to figure out if I want to buy it.
 
he 4 pack is so cheap its a steal, so if I can make others happy with it
 
@FallenAngelEyes writes great recommendations.
 
its multiplayer too, so might be nice for Game On some time
 
@IvoFlipse Actually, I would love a copy. One of my close friends is a fan and I would like to connect with him through it.
 
6:49 PM
I'm buying the pack right now :P
Oh I bought the DLC instead of the 4 pack it seems :S odd
 
@IvoFlipse Awesome, thanks!
 
yw
perhaps we should hold a small Game On competition and I'll just hand out the DLC pack to the winner :P
 
Apparently my co-admin over at OCRTF2 will be a Valve employee starting at the end of the month.
 
Strange, is it possible that the Steam Store is down?
 
@ArdaXi Waugh, I just noticed I have a typo in my Dungeon Defenders one
 
6:57 PM
Hmm, I hadn't even noticed.
 
@Powerlord you want Dungeon Defenders too?
 
I just now, finally, got the New Years hat.
I assume someone had to force it.
 
Does anyone think a let's play of puzzle agent 2 really wouldn't work? Cause I'm thinking of making one.
@Power Do I have one?
 
Why is my copy of Hoard asking me to buy the full version?
 
@Arda Because you bought the 3/4 version?
Maybe your computer doesn't believe it deserves to be a full game.
 
7:04 PM
I've got three hours to decide whether I want the DLC.
Although... I thought I bought the complete pack.
I did not.
 
@RonanForman Yes, you do.
 
@Ulla Calloo! callay! Oh frabjous day!
 
Is it just me, or have we had a severe spike in answer vandalism.
 
@LessPop Now that you mention it I have been noticing more.
We have got more members total now. So we'd have more bad ones too.

A: Cannot drop Red Eagle sword having previously completed the quest

Yoface Byour face is a bug...blah blah blah blah blah TITTIES

 
7:11 PM
@Ullallulloo Yeah, that's the one that prompted my observation.
 
Gone!
 
@Powerlord @balpha posted. They forgot to turn on a service which was causing no hats to be awarded after the last maintenance.
It wasn't a NY Hat specific bug
 
I need to just go through and write little recommendation blurbs for all my games with lots of hours
 
@Ullallulloo really? what is even the point?
 
@OrigamiRobot With me posting the link, or the person posting the answer?
 
7:22 PM
@Ullallulloo the person posting that answer
 
@OrigamiRobot His New Year's resolution must have been to explore new ways to be an idiot.
 
Well clearly they felt a compulsive desire to point out that someone's face(perhaps mine?) resembles a bug. The rest of it can also be blamed on compulsive desires and an inability to prevent oneself from typing the first thoughts that come into their brain.
 
@StrixVaria something tells me that wasn't new for him
 
@OrigamiRobot Same morivation as huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/06/… except with less creativity, humor, and verve.
 
@Ullallulloo <3
 
7:29 PM
@LessPopMoreFizz some of those I would call "funniest"
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, a number are pretty dumb. But it was the first google hit for 'funny wikipedia vandalism' and I was too lazy to vet links to see if it had my favorites in there
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Looking at the list of posts flagged for low quality in the last few hours, the answer is negative
@RonanForman <3
 
@badp I don't mean past few hours, I mean past few weeks.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz thats what I call internet motivation :D
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh. Then I'm afraid I don't have data about it. :(

Q: How do I Reverse A Permanent Health Buff

user17577So I've been playing Skyrim on the Xbox 360 and loving it (it's my first Elder Scrolls game). A while back I noticed that my maximum health was 119 points higher than it should have been. After removing all armor, blessings, and guardian stones, my health was still 119 points higher than normal. ...

@Moshe Where? What error?
 
Aeo
@Moshe Well isn't that just the fanciest screenshot of an error ever... drop shadow and all...
 
8:04 PM
@Moshe Ah, their servers are overloaded.
 
@Aeo Mac OS does that.
 
That was happening all day on the first day of the holiday sale.
 
@Ullallulloo So do I just wait?
 
@Moshe Pretty much.
Or refresh a lot.
 
Meh, I have work to do anyway.
 
8:05 PM
@Ullallulloo both the cause and the typical solution to the error.

Why can't I just download it, what's with the whole "Accept gift" nonsense?
It's not showing in my pending gifts...
Wait, is Terraria only on PC?
 
@Moshe Yes.
 
Explains it.
boots up PC
hehe, silly me.
@Aeo - See, with all my fancy screenshots, not a chance at Terraria... :-)
 
@Moshe I believe technically you can trade things that are given to you as gifts. So if you didn't want terraria, you could trade it for something you did want. Once you accept it, it's yours forever and ever.
 
So... Is anyone else as impressed as I am by user17577's first question on the site?
 
8:11 PM
@Moshe Oh, I keep forgetting people use "PC" to refer to Windows. I thought you were wondering if it was on Xbox or something. :P
But it is a Windows exclusive too.
 
@Tristan link?
@Ullallulloo Nope. Steam is on Xbox?
 
@Tristan Yes, I edited the slight mistakes and was very pleased at how he did not destroy English.
 
@Moshe Nay, only PC and PS3.

Q: Recommendations for Modern turn based strategy games

Toby AllenI really enjoyed a game called Imperialism II for the PC which came out a good few years ago (late 90's - early 2000's ). It still works and I play it a bit, but I've been looking around for a good - turn based - strategy game to update my gaming to. I havent really been able to find anything. ...
