:190491 Sorry?

Macha

1:07 PM

I really hope pauseforhelp doesn't end up being the name.

They seem to be working on chat.gaming.stackexchange.com atm

C. Ross

2:08 PM

Was there ever a decision on a name?

FallenAngelEyes

Good afternoon all

C. Ross

'kingdom-hearts-birth-by-sleep' exceeds maximum tag length of 25 <-sigh :(

[kingdom-hearts] and [birth-by-sleep] okay, you think?

Macha

Yup.

KH is the series.

If it really bothers you, maybe something like kh-birth-by-sleep?

I had to do cnc-zero-hour a while back, as I'm fairly certain there was another game called Zero Hour and command-and-conquer-generals-zero-hour blew away the tag limit.

FallenAngelEyes

Well I posted it as separate tags

Would it be better if I did it as a combo abbreviated/full like you did with CnC you think?

FallenAngelEyes

3:18 PM

wow hooking my PSP up to my tv is pretty

radp

5:03 PM

:190508 cool! kinda.

:190516 Nope

:190541 [kingdom-hearts-bbs]?

Mana

Test

oh, that's neat.

I think [kingdom-hearts-bbs] is good

radp

Man, the naming thread has answers waving up and down so much it's not even funny

Mana

ja, I just cast in down votes even though I usually don't

since I really want stage six/seven to win it if possible

Arda Xi

@badp Never even heard the word gowl before.

radp

if that's the way you're playing I'm downvoting stagesix :P

:190604 Nor have I, that's why I checked the urban dictionary

Mana

5:14 PM

>:

look, there are all sorts of obscure terms

radp

I think it's minor enough but it might be a deal breaker if the word is common enough

"yeah, gaming pussies"

Mana

that people can make out of anything, on urban dictionary

radp

there are 40 thumbs up there...

Mana

probably out of amusement

Arda Xi

GamingOwls is tied now

Mana

5:16 PM

I could make the definition for Stage Seven on UD "having sex in some obscure position" and then we would have to reconsider

we being whoever agrees with that name

Macha

I'm in the South of Ireland, where it's apparently from, and I never heard it either :P

Arda Xi

So it pretty much isn't @badp

Q: What is the most complete/stable PSX emulator you've found?

I'm looking for a good PSX emulator for my i686 laptop. I use Debian & Ubuntu. Any suggestions?

playstation emulation emulator

Arda Xi

I think consensus is to not allow emulator questions regardless

I think

Downvoter

I closed it instead of deleting it

Downvoter

low traffic on a saturday for everybody to act quickly :)

Mana

uh

wait that close reason isn't good, he'll be wondering how it's not related to games

Downvoter

5:40 PM

"within the scope defined in the faq."

Downvoter

the faq should say "no emulators"

Q: What's the official stance on console emulation?

The way I see it, many of us enthusiasts are probably familiar with emulation and use emulators to play classic games. (I do, I'll readily admit.) However, it's also fairly likely that many cartridge/disc/tape/etc. rips for said emulators are ... well ... not 100% legal, at least in the U.S., an...

discussion site-policies faq

the top-voted answer says that discussion of emulators is allowed

Downvoter

i'd say it's undefined

Downvoter

ill add a link to that question

Mana

fair enough

Ivo Flipse

5:44 PM

Jeff said he'd personally would allow it, as long as there wasn't any clear warez links and such

I personally think it's a grey area, we best keep white

radp

I don't have any problem with black.

Ivo Flipse

now I'm definitively in the white camp

radp

:P

Mana

so

uhm

hm.

Macha

6:19 PM

I'm all for emulators (as long as the question relates to a game). However, that one, I'd close as emu-rec :P

Arda Xi

our owls are winning!

radp

I think the only suggestion that didn't have downvotes, LavaJumping, is so because it suggests like five or six different domains. There's bound to be one you don't want to puke on there.

Arda Xi

I think that the owls also goes with our current dark theme

Macha

I like StageSix, but I think it might be pushing it a bit to get SO to fork out $1k for it.

8bitHeroes is also quite nice.

radp

@Macha but SO is willing to fork $1k on Gaming (for the SC2 tourney)

Macha

7:17 PM

What SC2 tournament?

radp

if we really truly love the name, we can move the $1k there

SC2 tournament

However I'm afraid it needs more concrete details

Macha

Oh. I only saw the one about "What players would you like to see", and I presumed it was someone's dream for a year or two down the road.

radp

StageSix, however, is $2k

I'm upvoting Grace's because she went out and asked prices -- oh wait, it's just the "auction" prize -- oh wait, not an auction.

:190629 have you downvoted the entries here?

Macha

@badp Nope, too lazy. Besides, the top one lists a specific town (mullingar) so could conceivably be accurate

radp

fair 'nuff

Is it bad that I just edited an extra space into an answer so that I could change my vote?

:190737 No...

I usually manage to find some grammar or spelling to fix, but..

radp

:190759 I'll insert some typos for you next time, mkay? :D

what

radp

:190762 uh?

People actually upvoted SaveMyPrincess.com?! :D

LOL

radp

7:54 PM

SaveMeAPrincahzNoob.com

okay, so Princahz is not quite like Sammich. :/

Mana

uuuugh

proofs...PROOOOOOOFS

WHYYYYYY

radp

Fun fact: qed, translated in Italian, is cvd; in some areas of Italy, that's dialect for "I'm sorry, what?"

Mana

that's...very suitable

radp

(more literally "what do you mean?", but it doesn't quite render the tone :D)

Mana

if only I could call on the Elite Beat Agents for help

radp

8:00 PM

guys and gals, I've posted an important notice for the lavajumping answer

0

A: Last Chance -- Top domain name: pauseforhelp.com. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

lavajumping.com Not taken at all, common in many games and yet impossible in "real life". Try googling "can you jump over lava?" -- all the hits are about gaming. On a similar vein: slimepools.com spikedpits.com walkingmushrooms.com instadeath.com everythingkillsyou.com lowhitpoints.com ...

please revise your vote if required

Arda Xi

No need, I downvoted for the sake of all of them

(no offence)

radp

No problem

It's not about me, it's about the site.

Arda Xi

I just really want gaming owls

Mana

eh, really?

I find gaming owls to be a really dull name.

radp

hoot

Mana

8:05 PM

I would prefer pause for help to that one

radp

How about we get all the domains!?

Mana

I have all the domains. All of them.

Macha

Gaming Owls is far less dull than pauseforhelp

It's very... generic

It could be and QA site

Arda Xi

You know, I would actually buy it, and if we don't want it I'll just keep it

radp

:190806 I want a percentage!!!!!11one

Arda Xi

8:08 PM

of what? the cost? sure thing

radp

fair point

I can pay a fraction in tshirts, balpha owes me one :P

At the end of the day, StageSix probably rules all. However, I mean, 1,990$?

GamingOwls could be seen as a counterplay of SuperUser though.

GamingOwls : SuperUser = StageSix : StackOverflow

Macha

I don't get it.

Mana

I get GamingOwls : SuperUser, but not StageSix : StackOverflow, since Overflow is a verb

Arda Xi

8:32 PM

Whenever I think Stage6 I think 'HD video-sharing site'

:190837 Used as a noun in StackOverflow though

Mana

I guess

in the term the name's based off of overflow is a verb

I think.

radp

A Stack Overflow is a common, er, happening when programming

Arda Xi

:190857 No it isn't. It's used as 'an overflow of the stack'

radp

Stage Six also is in Gaming.

Arda Xi

:190861 Stage6.com isn't.

Mana

8:34 PM

oh

so it is

radp

What does bother me about Stage Six is that Stage6 is Trademark of DivX

They can probably sue SO Inc. for trademark infringment

Arda Xi

APB died?

radp

:190869 Yes.

I guess that settles a record

Arda Xi

Pshaw, I was on the special tester service and I don't get so much as an email :(

radp

Well -- I surely hope so.

Arda Xi

8:38 PM

Their site isn't very interesting right now.

radp

uh, wasn't their website apb.com?

indeed it is.

Mana

It's like a statement.

Mana

to be honest I really like faqthisgame

obviously not for this site, but it would be nice if I ever made my own game faq

radp

I'm afraid the trademark problem could be the killing blow on StageSix

Mana

yeah, I'm afraid so too
