Wow, it looks like the Eagles might come back
damn
so close to an awesome comeback
 
I was about 6 minutes behind live tv on the DVR, so I got excited that they were going to come back when I saw your first message, and then instantly let down at your second.

oh, it's no problem, i learned long ago that if you want to remain uninformed while watching recorded sports, you have no one to blame but yourself if you are on the internet.
 
@tzenes It was an awesome attempt at one.
Made for great spectating, and I didn't even have to deal with the moral dilemma of my entertainment having resulted in a dog-murderer winning a game.
Best possible outcome IMO
 
@LessPopMoreFizz definitely.
 
> In some cases, honey buns have proven too seductive for inmates' own good. At the Stock Island Detention Center, outside Key West, scheming inmates offered overnight arrestees in the jail's drunk tank an irresistible deal: their Social Security numbers for a honey bun. Using the numbers, they filled out tax forms with phony information a scam that cost the IRS more than $1 million in fraudulent refunds.
hahahahaha
 
that is hilarious. here they sell 2 for $1 for the hostess variety, i had no idea what important pastries they were though.

Q: Give and Go on NBA 2k11 Wii

However, whenever I try that, it results in an Alley Oop pass (which is usually done by holding L and pressing b). Is there any s...

Did you water my body?
 
@ArdaXi Somebody dragged it out.
Now we have a path of grated ardaxi near the gate. Ugh.
 
You know, if you watered it sooner, that would not have been necessary.
 
@ArdaXi You know, if you drank water instead of taking a Hydratone, that would not have been necessary.

Q: Wow Cataclysm Leveling: Max DPS Warrior spec

Q: How do you get past the board with the fly in Limbo?

Michael PryorI can sneak up very close to the fly, but if I try to jump on him or get closer than where I am in the photo, he flies off.

 
It's trupe all over again.
 
... haven't we done this before
 
The addons and macro questions are kind of listy (up for debate) but the spec one is good
 
6:28 PM
Is there a way to answer that question that won't be obsolete in 6 months though? Probably not.
That can probably be said for some gaming.SE questions, but WoW questions that address specific specs are about as localized as it gets.
 
@kazzamalla Is there a question for such a game that won't be obsolete in 6 months?
 
That's true of any MMO question.
That's why we can edit. :)
 
@kazzamalla which question? The creep of the Addon and Macro questions is far higher than that of the Spec question.
 
@Brant True@badp I think most questions are accurate 6 months down the road though,
MMOs not so much, but as was mentioned edits are good
 
well, its not even a creep problem with the Addon/Macro, is just the usual list/subjective voting.
 
6:30 PM
It would be nice to say in the posts "As of 4.03", so maybe it is easier to find questions that need to be updated after 4.1
 
We should adopt a policy that WoW/MMO answers must post the current patch they are valid for, then Users can decide for themselves if the answer is still relevant.
There are a few other games that develop a lot and could use the same policy. Team fortress comes to mind as having lots of changes in a relatively short time.
 
I think that is a good idea, because even though some patches may alter certain answers, some of the core information may still be helpful, but the version tag could help them make that decision.
 
This is nothing new, but I'll mention just to build arbitrary excitement:
 
Interesting difference.

Q: How should we deal with out of date questions/answers?

LessPop_MoreFizzThis is perhaps a concern largely unique to questions about MMO's, and other multiplayer games that see major game-balance patches released on a regular basis, but how should we address content contained on the site that is, by being out-of-date, no longer correct?

8:32 PM
@GnomeSlice That's a little more info than you should probably be posting on the Google Indexed chat room.
 
Er.....perhaps.
It's mostly just course names and dates though.
I suppose I could have blurred out my profs' names.
 
You should have redacted the names of people, but even with that I wonder if I could still figure out your school.
 
@GnomeSlice that time table is enviable. No lessons in the morning.
 
although awesome course number for a Sci-fi course.
 
sure, a 18-21 course is kind of harsh
 
8:35 PM
@badp Not really. I don't drive, so I need to take a 40 minute bus ride from the college, and then get picked up and driven an additional 20 minutes to get home.
Which means my family has to come out to get me at like 10:00 at night.
 
@GnomeSlice ew.
 
@GnomeSlice Still you don't have to wake up at 6 am.
 
@WillfulWizard You can. I won't post it, but it just took a couple searches to find.
 
@GnomeSlice Actually I'm in a similar situation.
 
@EndangeredMassa It took me one, even with names redacted.
 
8:36 PM
@badp I will some days. If I can't get a ride in the day, I need to go in with my mother. She's a highschool secretary. She leaves at 7:00 AM
 
10 mins bus, 20 mins wait, 40 min train, 10 min walk, university, 10 min walk, 5 min wait, 40 min train, 10 min drive home.
 
@badp My parents are considering putting me in residence next year.
 
@badp / @GnomeSlice Did you want that post deleted?
 
@EndangeredMassa man are we creepy.
I think it should be yes.
 
@MichaelMrozek Uh, yes, thanks.
Not that I think you people are going to abuse it.
 
8:37 PM
Its not my data, but its clear someone could do bad things if they had a beef with Gnome.
 
@WillfulWizard Yeah, I suppose course numbers + names can be pretty unique.
 
There isn't really even any sensitive information.
 
@WillfulWizard Hah, perhaps.
 
Suddenly, everything's blue.
 
@GnomeSlice We could figure out exactly where you would be late at night, on any given day of the week. its bad.
 
8:38 PM
Can't beat the schedule I had in my last semester. 10:00 - 16:00 for 3 two hour classes on Tuesday and Friday. That's it.
 
@WillfulWizard Do you even know where I live? But I see your point.
 
I didn't actually bother, but it was possible.
 
One web design class, one story writing class, and one computer graphics class.
 
Two years ago my Tuesday was lessons 8-10, 10-13, 13-15, 15-17 and lab 17-19.
 
@GraceNote My program is very intense. It's only 2 years, so there's a load of stuff crammed into that time.
 
8:39 PM
(We can't have any lesson ending later than 19. We can't have any lesson starting earlier than 8.)
 
your General Ed course was a positive hit on a particular school, let alone checking against prof. names.
You don't want that on the internets for all to see.
 
@GnomeSlice As it were, I only had that because I over-crammed during my first 3 years. I could've graduated a year early but instead I pursued to have 2 degrees in 4 years. ♪
 
@GraceNote Ambitious. Did it pay off?
 
I graduated Cum Laude with two separate degrees. So, I say it did.
2
 
@GraceNote I almost did the same thing, but because I was already employed I opted not to continue on for another year, and cramming the rest of the second program into three years would have been problematic, heh.
 
8:42 PM
Aye, that would have been painful.
 
@GraceNote I guess Congratulations were in order!
 
Thanks~
 
It's a shame too, I really wanted the physics degree. But, there's still plenty of time to pick that back up if I want to. :)
 
You should instead go for a Minecraft degree, @TimStone
 
I somehow feel like that might be less marketable. ;)
 
8:44 PM
That's entirely the point. ♪
 
Heh.
 
Ah, is this a brilliant world domination plan you have brewing, then?
 
Virtual world domination.
 
Dec 18 '10 at 18:51, by Grace Note
I can't prove that statement because I'm forbidding myself to play Minecraft. My job is to get everyone else to play Minecraft, leaving myself the only remaining productive person on the planet.
 
In other words, it's a trap.
 
8:47 PM
My desktop computer can't even run the web-based version very well, so I figured I'd be better off not wasting anything on the full game.
^ This game is fresh.
 
@GraceNote Then you should probably get another degree in agriculture, else you starve if absolutely everyone is playing Minecraft
 
I best watch my back then....I've actually had to restrain myself from playing Mass Effect again, in fear that it might take up another 40 hour block of time that should have been devoted to working...
 
@Fabian Lamarck-esque inheritance of farming skills should help me enough. Only one generation apart.
 
You do know that Lamarck was wrong, do you? ;-)
 
Sure, but as long as I can wrongly assume that he is right, then he will be right enough for me. ♪
Actually, at the rate things are going, I am rather doomed. The universe is conspiring against allowing me to do physical work.
 
8:51 PM
@GraceNote Story of my life.
 
I still think there is a flaw in your plan, all plans for world domination have one
I'm not really far with my own plan for world domination
 
Well, the whole "Can't even do housework anymore" aspect is kind of a big flaw. There's also the part where my employer would probably also be addicted to Minecraft, preventing me from actually using my productivity for any use.
But enough of that. I mostly wanted to pop in to flaunt my 5-days-off-per-week college years reminiscing. Later all ♪
