Q: Is it ok to wait around for new units?

AprecheI'm having a hard time progressing because the remaining enemies simply have way more units than I do. The thing is I have tons of gold and resources. If I just click "next turn" a whole bunch of times I will end up with a ton of units. Are there any consequences to sitting still and doing nothin...

Q: How do you counter multi-tank teams in Dominion?

Nick TIn Dominion, characters that can just stick around towers and toss ranged attacks but still have a fair bit of defense (Kayle, Galio) seem to be able to indefinitely buy time against 2 or even 3 attackers until backup arrives, which is never far away due to free speed buffs in the center. The ex...

Q: Why can't I play alien arena 7.51 in ubuntu 11.10 64 bit?

EdwardAlien arena 7.51 is not working at all in either Unity or GNOME Shell. I am using a Thinkpad T510 with nvidia NVS 3100 discrete graphics. When I press the icon nothing happens. Alien arena worked in Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit on the same laptop.

 
bah, I hate being on computers other than my own. No tabs mix plus! I need to click on tabs to switch to them! With tabs mix plus I just hover over them. Bah, I don't have time for this! This is far too much work as well. I feel like I'm living in a third world country or something.
 
You don't use ctrl-tab?
 
That's still a lot of work.

I prefer being able to hover
Also, class get.
 
Hello all. Just a quick question - is the main site dead only for me?
 
gaming.stackexchange.com ? Seems fine from my end. So does stackexchange.com
 
stackexchange.com works fine actually, I just can't reach gaming for some reason (though I can get to the meta-site just fine, and also to the chat, obviously)
 
@Aubergine Where are you?
 
Israel. But it seems that I can reach it just fine from my other computer...
(I just checked)
 
11:26 AM
@Aubergine I meant, are you at work/school/public hotspot etc.
 
Nope, I'm at home
 
Weird, what does the page show? Just blank?
 
@theorise Just says that it can't load the page. It is rather odd indeed.
 
Yea I am not going to be much use to you I doubt. You could try trace routing to see where the problem is maybe.
 
Weird
 
11:31 AM
Try running Wireshark (with a filter like "(ip.dst == 64.34.119.12 && tcp.dstport == 80) || (ip.src == 64.34.119.12 && tcp.srcport == 80)"), see what it shows you.
 
Yeah, it seems this computer is convinced that the site is actually at 1.1.1.1, which would explain the behavior.
I have no idea why it would think that, however
It was fine until, like, 15 minutes ago
 
Maybe it's your DNS provider. :)
 
Check your DNS IP, your router might have a virus.
 
@MartinSojka I thought about it, but then it wouldn't work on my laptop as well. I guess something got borked somehow.
 
Although if that was the case, I don't know why you could get to this site...
 
11:35 AM
@Aubergine This actually depends on the TTL of the A-record for gaming.stackexchange.com. (officially 3600, but a rouge DNS resolver can change it), and when it got loaded and cached by your systems' internal DNS caching mechanisms.
 
I maek intarweb.
 
@MartinSojka Yeah, I'm trying to flush it. My network setup is a little convoluted thanks to my "top of the line" wireless card.
DNS flushed, and everything's ok
Collective thanks to everyone. Huzzah!
 
Reminds me when some online game my parents are playing on (BridgeBaseOnline, in case anybody cares or knows them) switched the IPs of the servers without leaving some kind of forwarding on the old one, or at least changing the TTL down to few minutes beforehand. And I was stuck with debugging why the hell one of their computers could connect and the other couldn't. :)
 
@Aubergine No problem man. It was the least I could do.
 
@Mana Claiming thanks from someone else... Brett?
 
11:39 AM
@RonanForman Oh, does Brett do that too? I find it absolutely hilarious.
 
@Mana He did it once. That I recall anyway.
 
I tend to do it in other chatrooms on the site that I lurk and never post in.
It doesn't endear me to people :P
Hurray, tag wiking! Thanks @Aubergine
 
Tag Viking?
 
Lost Viking?
 
@Mana Don't mention it ;)

It's still my suit.

One of my friends just told me he feels like this when he finishes theory homework

@Mana And now you must head Norse by Norsewest.
You know, everyone knows Lost Vikings, but how many people actually played its sequel?
 
@Powerlord I have.
 
@Mana The good version or the SNES version? ;)
 
@Wipqozn Bye!
 
Yes, I played it for the PC.
 
1:32 PM
Woo, got Twitter set up in bitlbee
 
Not that there's a huge difference. I think the only one is one has voice acting and the other doesn't.
 
I believe so.
 
Why doesn't Blizzard make titles like that one any more? :/
 
Companies change. People change.
 
Thank God for Paradox and Bohemia. At least those two just keep releasing upgraded versions of their games instead of changing them for no good reason. :)
 
1:37 PM
Once upon a time, Silicon and Synapse (aka Blizzard) made games like Lost Vikings and Rock and Roll Racers. Now it's the Warcraft/Starcraft/Diablo triumvirate.
 
@Powerlord Last Warcraft game is almost 10 years old ...
 
 
@MartinSojka I was counting World of Warcraft in there, too.
Which had a new expansion in December 2010.
 
@Powerlord I don't. It's not the same audience, not the same genre, not even a similar control scheme. Hell, even the game background sounds like a parallel universe ....
Next thing you tell me somebody is making a new X-Com or Syndicate. :)
 
@MartinSojka The scary thing about what you said... you can change the control scheme to play like Warcraft 3 does, even though it's a different genre.
But, the problem is, Blizzard has made it very difficult to make any new Warcraft-related game simply because WoW has made hundreds of changes to the game world.
 
1:42 PM
@Powerlord 50 years later ...
 
Canonically, Arthas is dead now. Large sections of the world have been decimated by Deathwing upon his return.
 
Well, midterm time. peace.
 
What's even worse in WoW is that, as soon as you go into the 60-70 areas or 70-80 areas, it's like a time warp. Illidan is suddenly alive again and you need to stop him!
and I don't mean time warp in a good way.
 
@Powerlord again?
 
@RonanForman iirc, the only change Blizzard made to the old areas is that Arthas is now replaced by his successor in Icecrown.
Why they bothered with that while not fixing that Kelthas Sunstrider or Illidian should also no longer be around is beyond me.
 
1:50 PM
@Powerlord No, I meant time warp as in the song.
 
@RonanForman Oh.
So, what you wanted me to say was:
It's just a jump to the left.
 
Okay I'm starting now, bye!

Q: When can you respecialize your hero?

Jason BerkanOne of the buttons at the top of the main hero page is labeled "Respecialize" and the mouseover indicates that it allows you to redistribute the ability points on your hero. However, I have yet to see the button enabled. What triggers the ability to respecialize your hero?

I'm a pretty big nerd, but I find that ridiculous.

@theorise I hate Starcall
 
@FallenAngelEyes Starcall is awesome. People have stopped moaning about it now though, thankfully.
 
@theorise I've only been playing for a month or so, so I still do a lot of bot games, so I fight against her fairly often.
Speaking of which, free champ rollover day goes to check
Oh wow, Xerath :o
 
@FallenAngelEyes Haha I see. Yea she is a bit of a nightmare to lane against. Jarvan's free too, which is quite unusual. I hate fighting against Xeraths also. Really hard to counter, like Kog Maws ;(
 
I'm not very familiar with Jarvan, why's it unusual for him to be free?
 
@Powerlord thanks for reminding me about Lost Vikings. I keep meaning to play that game.
was unaware of lost vikings 2 though

Also, everyone, I'm back and all

@Wipqozn The PC version is called Norse by Norsewest.
 
So be happy. Cheer.
 
My backlogged games list is down by 4 just for this month!
 
@FallenAngelEyes he hasn't been on rotation for 22 weeks. He is a pretty tough guy, like most off tanks
 
Depending on whether or not I feel like it, I may go do challenge mode in Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time.

3:23 PM
I think I carried 700,000 bolts over from my normal game (with all 40 Zoni and all 40 gold bolts, and all level 5 weapons)
 
@Powerlord Impressive!
I find the worst part is I also like replaying other games as well, so that makes it even harder to get through my back log.
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, only like 200 games left on it... ... ... ... and that likely isn't an exaggeration.
 
I wonder how well LoL runs on OSX in a virtual machine.
 
@Wipqozn This is why I end up never replaying games. :(
 
@FallenAngelEyes I assume you mean "never" not "ever"
@Powerlord Mine is probably around there as well.

Riot discontinued it heh, but its still usable, I'll quickly find the link
 
@theorise Ain't as long as Evelynn or Twitch, naturally.
That said, this is the first time since my first week (which was back in... April or so) that Jarvan has been on free week
 
They discontinued the Mac client? Why?
 
No idea why... I think they were involving a 3rd party and I believe they will support it internally... eventually
 
All this time I'd been thinking "I'll try the game once they make a mac version because I'm too lazy to install bootcamp again"

Q: A name of a very old arcade game

AlmogI remember playing that game a long time ago, when I was about 7 or less. Basically, that game is about 2 characters, one red, one blue, and they compete each other in random arcade mini-games. Things like pushing each other off a cliff, blow up each other's balloon's, and so on. And eventually, ...

Ooh, apparently Samsung had a device concept in 2006 that looks suspiciously like the iPad... 4 years before the iPad came out.
 
@Powerlord those thieves!
Stealing Apple's future ideas
 
yeah but the ipad is just a screen..
I had that idea after I saw my first pc :P
 
@Loktar Yes, and Apple apparently has a design patent on it in Europe.
 
4:52 PM
@Loktar wait, wait... my computer screen is ripping off the iPad?!?
 
!!
 
@Wipqozn Shame on you!
 
any of you play Orcs Must Die?
 
However, Samsung's product from 2006 in question was a digital picture frame.
 
that game is like crack to me
ah nice @Powerlord
 
4:53 PM
I still wonder if they couldn't use it to overturn Apple's Design Patent.
 
the patent system is so jacked up
 
Which, incidentally, does not match the iPad's actual design, because the iPad has the home button on it, while their design patent doesn't.
