@FAE Yeah, I like pastels, even if they are really messy for a left handed person with lack of fine motor >.<

@AshleyNunn I like them as a medium because they're very flexible. You can just swoosh them on there raw if you want, but you can also take the time to blend if you want something more refined

user15026

@FAE Yeah, I like that aspect of them. Crayons are a lot less awesome for that.

@AshleyNunn Yeah, oil pastels are a bit more restrictive in the same way crayons are.

user15026

@FAE Yeah. I just tend to make a mess with most art tools :( left handed + fine motor problems = me being covered in more colour than my art

@AshleyNunn But then you get to be art :D

user15026

9:04 PM

This is true, but it isn't something as easily appreciated

@AshleyNunn I'll appreciate you all night long, lady

user15026

@FAE Now that is an offer I can't refuse.....

user15026

gets out the pastels

@AshleyNunn It might get a little messy, but it'll be fun!

user15026

@FAE Messy fun is the best fun

9:07 PM

@AshleyNunn Indeed!

user15026

@FAE I like how you agree with me. This could be much fun.

did your t-shirts from the d3 contest arrive yet?

@ayckoster Got mine yesterday.

do you live in usa?

Yep.

9:12 PM

ok, i live in germany

this might take a while :)

do you like it?

@ayckoster Es ist toll :P

Q: Can I change my credit card country in PSN?

I've just changed country and moved from Italy to UK to work. I'd like to buy a game from PSN using my PSP and my new English credit card. However it seems impossible to change my country in the billing address (and without changing it, my payment is refused). Is there any way to switch my coun...

then i will look forward to mine

Even my GF thought it looked cool.

9:15 PM

so she does not like your other stuff i take it :p

tell you what, the server my character is on (grim) in secret world is full nearly 24 hours a day

She's not a big fan of gaming in general.

@pixel Full?

Its marked as "Full"

Does that mean you can't log in?

nope

9:16 PM

Or does that just mean you can't create new characters there?

but it is a distinct state from 'Online'

Strange.

no idea, why would you create more than one char in this game other than for faciton

logged in instantly just as if the server was empty

as long as it does not affect anything...

@pixel What trees are you going down?

9:18 PM

assault rifle is nearly completed

I picked 2 completely based on how much I liked the idea of them, without any thought to how they work individually or together as a pair.

Now I say 'completed', I'm missing like the last two abilities from each block on the top tier

the 34AP and 50AP abilities

except Veteran

How do the higher-level skills compare to the ones on the inner circle? I haven't progressed to any outer circle abilities at all.

its all very samey

bigger numbers, nothing really amazing

like you get an ability early on that fires a single shot

and you get an ability later on that fires a single shot, but also gives you a life-leach effect

Ok so it's not like it's going to revolutionize my playing.

9:21 PM

well the numbers get bigger

That's fine, though; I'm still very much enjoying just progressing.

but I think I'm going to complete assault rifles

then do the inner tier for everything else

Do you use any other tree at all right now?

I just unlocked the outer ring of blood spells last night. Not enough AP to try them out yet though :D

I'm very evenly splitting my AP between Chaos and Shotgun, so neither one is particularly close to unlocking the outer ring.

9:24 PM

@StrixVaria I have been going Blood/Blade but my Blood has been focused on a bit more AP wise while my blade has been focused on a bit more SP wise.

no just assault rifle right now

level 8 (damage) 5 (healing) in assault rifles too

and level 6 in each of the talismans

Woo, 600 flags

I love it when we get loads of crap

@Fluttershy That one block of cobblestone ruins it for me, but maybe I'm a bit more OCD than most people...

With the amount of people playing melee I feel I am missing something

U.N. Squadron Intro HD remake

And, there's going to be a Deus Ex movie

9:49 PM

what?

There is not nearly enough drama on meta today.

oh

a human revolution movie you mean

user2334

@StrixVaria I'll start a "N months have passed, can we reconsider the ban on ITG questions?" question if it'll help

ITG means?

@MarkTrapp Ooh do it for game-rec instead.

user2334

9:51 PM

Or maybe a "Mods are fascists, can we select new ones?" strikes your fancy

user2334

@pixel identify-this-game

@pixel I'm crying right now out of pure joy that you don't know this as a new user.

@StrixVaria happens, more than five times already

user image

so what, ITG questions are bad?

9:52 PM

@pixel They're banned.

user2334

@pixel Peruse at your leisure

BANNED? zomg

sounds so important, I am blatently going to open 10 questions regarding identification of games that were way before my time

like ELITE

oh, heavily discussed topic

user2334

> I remember a game I might've played sometime in the 90s (I was a 90s kid) that involved either magic or fighting or graphics. I don't remember exactly but I think there was something on the game box. I also remember my friend might've had it. Can you help?

I remember a game that I might have played sometime in the 90s that involved flying through space but without any clearly rendered 3d objects

user2334

That's Barbie Horse Adventure. Reputation please

9:55 PM

I was never much of a doll person

unless it was removing their heads

I did that a lot

Q: What should be done with questions asking for game identification?

UPDATE: Identify this game (ITG) questions are now off topic on the site. The community reached this decision with 34 vs 27 votes New ITG questions will be closed immediately, and we will start applying this policy retroactively in time. Following a series of discussions carried out here on m...

discussion status-completed identify-this-game

This is the best place to read up on all the arguments, because all the links to all the arguments are collected together in a fancy bulleted list.

I actually have very clear memories of the first computer game I ever played

user2334

The first game I played was a Snake clone on the Macintosh II.

@StrixVaria :D

I was born in '93 though

Macintosh II is a full decade or more older than me

user2334

10:00 PM

@pixel In base 6 maybe: Macintosh II was introduced in 1987

oh ok

@MarkTrapp A good year.

Computers didn't start mattering to me until I was 8-10

And years already began with a '2' by then

@MarkTrapp unbelievably Mac II + Atari ST are the same age

with its slanted function keys

user2334

@OrigamiRobot Indeed, quite formative for me. First permanent memories, first move, mom died, got three new dogs, dad remarried, went to Disneyworld, saw the 1987A supernova, and The Brave Little Toaster came out.

user2334

@pixel They had to do something when the video game industry collapsed

10:06 PM

now that's something I know nothing about

user2334

Atari was big, produced a bunch of crap, Americans wised up and stop buying video games by 1983, Atari barely escapes bankruptcy, video games die in the US until the NES Duck Hunt/Super Mario Bros. bundle came out in 1988/9-ish

Crazy, now I'm wikipedia'ing

sigh

Q: Did the update to Puzzle Swap which added Kid Icarus also add any other puzzles?

I was just wondering if any additional puzzles were added that weren't revealed yet, or if Kid Icarus was the only one. I'd rather not know what they are though, just a yes and how many or no. Thanks! (I also think its really cool they've started distributing puzzles through the internet, I hope ...

3ds puzzle-swap

I'm not sure how that wasn't burned.

North American video game crash of 1983

The North American video game crash was a massive contraction of the video game industry that occurred from 1983 to 1985. Revenues that had peaked at around $3.2 billion in 1983 fell to around $100 million by 1985 (a drop of almost 97 percent). The crash was a serious event that brought an abrupt end to what is considered the second generation of console video gaming in North America. The crash almost destroyed the then-fledgling industry and led to the bankruptcy of several companies producing home computers and video game consoles in North America. It lasted about two years, and man...

There is more than one problem with that question.

10:14 PM

@MarkTrapp I am laughing unreasonably hard at your usage of base 6.

@MarkTrapp yeah thats the article I'm half way through

user2334

@StrixVaria How hard on a scale of 1-6?

@MarkTrapp A good 4.

Q: Ibuki in Tournaments

i'm being playing super street fighter IV:AE and I love Ibuki, I'm watching a tournament, and I don't see anybody play ibuki, is it because ibuki is bad? and if I want to continue with ibuki, what is a good strategy for her?

user2334

@pixel I didn't realize Atari completely collapsed; they just sold off the brand name.

10:18 PM

51k views on the question about how to install the Day Z mod. I think maybe they should put some better instructions on the Day Z website :P

@MarkTrapp I had been told something similar before

user2334

@Sterno Then it wouldn't be as ultra realistic! Step one in any zombie invasion scenario is figuring out how to install mods.

@Sterno that's like 1.7k views per day or so

best ever place to AFK in secret world that isn't a safe zone

@MarkTrapp All I did was get borninated.

half way up a ladder

10:30 PM

@spugsley Storming like nobody's business

it is hailing :(

@OrigamiRobot I am worried for @IanPugsley....he is driving home right now :(

@spugsley It started coming down right as I pulled in to my complex.

THUNDER O_O

<3 thunder

@spugsley I don't know how the heck it's hailing by you. It's like 95 degrees here in Indiana. We're not that far away!

10:33 PM

@Sterno It was over 100 for the past week.

That's how hail works.

user2334

It was a scorching 67 here in the PNW last week

user2334

And yeah, it only needs to be freezing in the clouds for hail formation to occur, not at ground level

Damn you, science!

@Wipqozn I recently tried to play D1 again. It's hard to get past the graphics

@Wipqozn bahahaha

10:40 PM

man, watching other people play D3 makes me realize how terrible my graphics/FPS are on this rig :(

user image

user2334

@Wipqozn Reminds me a lot of RedLetterMedia's review of the Phantom Menace

@MarkTrapp Plinkett <3

I think I've watched his reviews of the SW prequels 5 times each.

@Wipqozn ta for video

ActionButton.net is a great place to read reviews, so long as you want your reviews very many several page long, of which the first half talks about philosophy, religion, history and psychology, the second half talks about the completely different game the reviewer really wanted to talk about and then maybe perhaps there's a couple paragraphs about what you really wanted to read about.

diablo-3 diablo-3-monk

@Wipqozn this is why I don't play Diablo 3 anymore

It's also why I impulse purchased like 8 games the other day

@Wipqozn Maybe it's because I am a robot, but I have never understood the atmosphere argument here.

@OrigamiRobot first two were dark and had overkill fog of war

@OrigamiRobot third one was too bright and didn't fog anything

@pixel Disagree, and the the fog was super annoying.

The fog of war was half of the atmosphere

it may have been annoying but that's because you couldn't see the enemies at the edge of your screen

10:57 PM

@pixel Watching that video and seeing D1/2 and D3 right next to each other, I have to agree. Fog was a good thing.

the fog meant that you were in teh situation where something jumped out at you a lot more frequently

@pixel Like I said, I never understood the atmosphere argument.

@OrigamiRobot first matrix as it is, second matrix with ponies and bright pink filters instead of green

atmosphere argument

What I mean is I don't understand when people say "The first two were dark and scary."

Huh. It turns out that they actually did make installing the DayZ mod a lot easier

11:00 PM

The first two were dark and the scary effect occured due to being jumped, caused by the fog

@pixel Not for me.

@pixel My feelings about the 2nd/3rd Matrix movies are different every time I watch them.

@Sterno Do you know what version they are on?

@OrigamiRobot minority :P

@Wipqozn No. I haven't played since before D3

11:01 PM

@pixel I never said there was no argument to be made, I just said I didn't understand it.

@StrixVaria possibly a bad example, I was referring more to the fact the matrix movies were filmed with two filters, green for 'inside' the matrix and blue for the real world

ruining the atmosphere as an example would be swapping the green filter for a pink one, only in the second and third movie

@pixel Oh you were referencing the movies? Never seen them.

@pixel Oh that's cool. I need to watch The Matrix again now. Any excuse to do that is ...

@OrigamiRobot you have never seen THE MATRIX?

@OrigamiRobot WHAT!?!??!?

11:01 PM

Looks like that re on 1.7.1, and close to releasing 1.7.2

YOU ARE A ROBOT

GO WATCH THEM NOW

no

Nope, and absolutely no desire to.

go and watch the first one

@pixel True.

11:02 PM

the first matrix movie is amazing

@OrigamiRobot No offense, but this is the worst opinion ever.

The Fifth Element is the best movie of all time.

@OrigamiRobot is clearly trolling us

@OrigamiRobot The Fifth Element is okay

@OrigamiRobot A solid movie, but the fact that you like some other movie doesn't mean you shouldn't watch The Matrix.

11:03 PM

Dirty Dancing is the best movie of all time

the first Matrix is second

@pixel What are you, a girl-baby?

@StrixVaria I find the premise boring and I absolutely hate that style of action.

-.-

:)

Just because my reproductive organs are on the inside...!

11:04 PM

@pixel Wait a second. Are you female?

yes, but this conversation has happened before

I am also a lady but Dirty Dancing is not a good movie >.>

@StrixVaria All eyeball gravatars are female.

@OrigamiRobot That's not tr- holy crap it's true!

my mum used to watch it lots when I was young, so it got burned into my memory

11:06 PM

Nobody puts baby in a corner

@ayckoster @spugsley does. After punching it.

what is the baby punching thing about anyway?

@pixel @spugsley is a terrible person who beats children.

2

@Wipqozn I don't literally beat children

I mentally beat children

@spugsley Come now, don't be modest.

11:09 PM

@Wipqozn you are going to get Child Protective Services called on me. And they are going to be really confused when they get here

A: How do I install and play the Day Z mod for Arma 2?

This process has gotten a lot simpler since the question was originally asked. The DayZ site now recommends and links a launcher which installs the mod, updates it, and even lets you launch the game from it. Turns the entire process into a few simple clicks, and has the stamp of approval from th...

Up vote for great justice!

...and to bring that answer closer to the top.

Oh, right right. Accepted is bumped anyways. I was confusing the main site with meta.

that is actually rep whoring, surely?

@Wipqozn I had actually already upvoted you the other day, I assume you mean @Sterno's answer

@pixel That's why I linked to his answer.

I don't know these things, I just click stuff then tab back to it

I have just found an awesome bug

floor made of fire, makes the sound like you're walking in water

@dujore If you want to discus the XP bar a bit more in chat I might be able to answer your questions more specifically (if this sort of pinging even works).

11:24 PM

in fact, all four of these rooms sound like they're full of water even though only one of them has water in it

like they copied and pasted the same room

I have watched this so many times:

Brackish Spawn just chased me for 10 minutes -.-
