The Bridge

@Mana Oh it's like The Witcher 2?

Meh.

I should just watch gameplay of every game before I buy it from now on.

ANYONE WANNA PLAY MANN VS MACHINE?

it's not, really

12:06 AM

The largest of them being that legendary items were kind of... terrible, and weren't any different from other items. In Diablo 2 unique items had, well... unique effects. It's part of the reason everyone wanted them.

it's more like a fun action game with RPG elements

I remember the first one being compared to Zelda.

whereas the Witcher was an RPG game with fun action elements

When I really add it up the amount of free stuff I've gotten from this site is crazy.

The Witcher 2 was just the beginning.

@OrigamiRobot I WAS JUST ASKING THAT

12:08 AM

That reminds me, I hope my swag gets here soon.

I started something else, but I can be ready in like ten minutes if we can get another player

also holy hell, it is weirdly difficult sometimes if you venture off the beaten path

Okay, I'm going to head off. Toodles everyone!

I was exploring this nice side area and dove under water, and emerged next to a waterfall, where I found a treasure chest guarded by this boss monster...

@Mana Still talking about Darksiders 2?

12:10 AM

called Gorewood, who is this stupid, dorky-looking stone tree thing with claws. Most bosses were pretty easy, so I assumed this thing would be a chump.

@John It is not fun with 3 or even 4 players

5 minimum

@Strix yes

I like that it's an action game that has "off the beaten path" at all.

Friggin' Gorewood summons these talons which rapidly chase me and then force me to the ground, runs up to me, and slams his stubby arm into me, inflicting more damage than I have total health.

@OrigamiRobot Well, if we can scrounge up enough, count me in.

12:12 AM

@OrigamiRobot I might try it eventually, but I can't right now. Dinner in a few minutes.

@John I already yelled about it. That's the best I can do.

and that's the story of how I got my ass handed to me by a tree.

Ok

@StrixVaria You humans and yoWAIT A MINUTE YOU'RE A ROBOT TOO!

I need this game just for this hammer

12:14 AM

@StrixVaria oh, you mean the very first secondary weapon you get? good times.

Ughhhh I'll order this from Amazon after dinner I guess.

Halp! SpaceChem is melting my brain again!

Good reviews, a recommendation, and a giant bad-ass hammer? I can't say no.

@YiJiang Play MvM with us, then!

but yeah, I enjoyed it. I'd recommend it. 30 hours of gameplay for one runthrough too I heard!

12:15 AM

@Mana Any form of coop or multiplayer?

Not going to affect my decision, just curious.

@StrixVaria not sure, didn't investigate

Q: I am not able to run 12.04 properly

I am unable to run 12.04 properly in my computer. I have a 1GB RAM currently and Intel G31 family chipset (Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz). The Ubuntu system does not seem to run properly in my system as it does in the others. Even the dashboard takes over 3-4 seconds to pop up and so does each and ever...

12:44 AM

The P-N junction assignment is asdf hard

@YiJiang Just accept that they are magic

It makes it much easier.

Koviko

@GamingTopicsFromOutside Is it bad that I went to another SE just to flag a question?

Rilgon Arcsinh

@Koviko Not really.

Koviko

@RilgonArcsinh Good. I never know if Arqade-style pickiness will be accepted elsewhere.

AskUbuntu seems to answer vague, localized questions like this with a lot of guesses

Whereas we would just close it.

@Koviko AU gets a lot of crap. It's pretty much the default support site for new Ubuntu users

12:56 AM

@Koviko I might have it wrong here but I tend to keep my head out of a lot of the other SE sites in terms of flagging, except for really clear-cut cases. A lot of sites approach things differently from us.

I remember I objected to one of their games on Ubuntu lists and got promptly slapped in the face. In a good way.

Koviko

@Mana Is there a bad way to slap @Mana in the face?

@Koviko just ask my girlfriend. hah, just kidding, she wouldn't do that to me.

Q: Is there a simple "Hello World" for making games?

Heh.

15

Does anyone know of a simple "Hello World" for making games for ubuntu? I've seen the Getting Started with Quickly video. Any examples for platformers or something like that? EDIT: Just a recap of the answers. Blender Game engine -- Uses python Pygame -- Python MonoGame http://monogame.codep...

application-development games

foreshadowing

I flagged this, and they rejected it :P

It probably would be closed on SO now too

Rilgon Arcsinh

12:58 AM

@YiJiang ...I think AU is the only SE that would live on

Maybe that is my anti-Ubuntu judgmentalism coming out though so ignore me :D

I don't worry about my flag weight though. The amount of real, clear cut crap they get is enough that the borderline cases don't affect my behavior at all

So I just flag ALL the things!

Q: Darksiders 2 - stalker after main quest?

@YiJiang such words of bravery have never been witnessed on this Bridge.

Tim Stone

@YiJiang I would have closed it so hard.

I'm completing the shaman's quest where I have to kill and get a stalker's bone, but I already cleared the cauldron area, where can I find another stalker?

Holy crap on a stick. I just finished Bastion. That game. Just...wow. Obviously, I have no words right now.

@AshleyNunn So, the girl suddenly being voiced. Thoughts?

Well, she has a voice in her song too

Well yeah

user15026

@Mana It startled me, but it worked for me.

@James MWO?

@AshleyNunn You have shows to be watching missy!

user15026

1:53 AM

@OrigamiRobot Haha I watched a bunch more AT today, and plan to watch some Avatar tomorrow. :P

user15026

You are so bossy ;)

Not sure what planet's hours you're using.
