I'm going to look at how much What Is Love I can compress in under the file limit.
 
@ArdaXi Here's 10 hours of it!
 
I know.
 
@ArdaXi Download that video > loop it a few times > compress!
 
If you're going to watch shit on Youtube, at least make it awesome shit
You just gotta love the attitude
 
12:07 AM
I like the fact they always tell me it's a TAS before I start watching.
 
It's in the (actually lengthy) guidelines
Too bad tasvideos isn't loading right now
 
TAS: For when you're just not enough to beat the game without cheats.
@ArdaXi I love how the vast majority of those messages are me trolling @gnomeslice
 
As do I.
 
I would say I need a hobby, but obviously trolling @gnomeslice with what is love is my hobby
 
@Wipqozn TASes don't use cheats :|
 
12:13 AM
@badp I would say using tools is a cheat

Q: How do I accept a Yield?

Raven DreamerI was fighting bandits in the sewers when one of them went into a "cower" animation, and began screaming about how he had given up. Given that I found his terror endearing, I deigned to spare him. I tried talking to him, to no effect. Then I tried sheathing my weapon - upon which the brigand tho...

Q: What is this iridescent goo?

spugsleyI'm curious about this rainbow colored, iridescent goo that's littering the floor of the Barrow Temple in Skyrim. It looks poisonous and so for awhile I was trying to avoid it, thinking that it was some sort of trap. Then, I got curious and stepped around in it and nothing happened. Does this ser...

Q: .... Soul gems. How do they work?

heisheRecently I enchanted a weapon with a fire damage enchantment. I found a better weapon and wanted to do the same thing with that weapon. However, this time, whenever I tried to select an enchantment, the game would say something like "charge not sufficient for this enchantment". I figured that so...

Q: Skyrim Mouse lag

KimI have insane mouse lag in Skyrim. I have changed iPresentInterval=0 in Skyrim.ini file and bMouseAcceleration=0 in Skyrimprefs.ini But i still have mouse lag and the game is unplayable. Does anyone have any advice regarding this issue?

 
@Wipqozn Well, yeah, but without tools you wouldn't get such a show. So I'm happy to accept the tradeoff.
 
@badp What purpose does flying the ship in tiny circles serve?
 
@FallenAngelEyes Show-off. The whole run is a play around rather than a speed run proper, although I doubt adelikat wasted frames on purpose there.
Later on you'll see him drawing his nick with the red dots and blasting away the annoying boss that's getting in the way in under a second.
 
@badp Ah okay. I was trying to figure out what game mechanic that would be related to and was confused
 
@badp Guh, cannot watch this at the moment
 
This run was actually faster than the previously published ones for at least one of the four games
 
Well gonna play some Empire at War... cya all later.
 
my brain starts going into hyperthreading mode as I parse it all, and I really can't do that when I'm supposed to be going to sleep within the hour
 
can't blame you

AliWhy is it so much harder to find games if your in a party especially if it's large?

@Wipqozn another non-skyrim question!
 
@ThomasMcDonald votes to closE
@ThomasMcDonald I was going to ask why you didn't make a close vote, then I remembered your rep is less than 3k. I always forget about that, I always think you're 5k+

user30
@FallenAngelEyes The concept of a season pass for DLC is still one that disturbs me
 
@FallenAngelEyes wow, that screen cap is terrible. Are the graphics really that bad?\
 
@ThomasMcDonald I still don't think it's as horrible as paying for "DLC" that's already on the disk and you have to pay to unlock it
@Wipqozn I don't think so, though the game's not out here til next week
 
@FallenAngelEyes I concur.
 
user30
12:49 AM
@FallenAngelEyes It's still in the DLC camp though
 
either way,I strongly dislike most DLC. Some DLC is fine, but the vast majority of it is just a cheap cash-in. give us $10 for an extra costume!:
 
@ThomasMcDonald Unfortunately, completely eschewing DLC nowadays means missing out on a lot of content :/
 
user30
@FallenAngelEyes I know
 
user30
but DLC is completely out of hand now
 
user30
expansion packs were cool and had lots of content
 
12:51 AM
While we here, people of principle, may staunchly defend our wallets with our morals, we're ultimately going to end up with the short end of the stick because we're outnumbered by the morons that go "WHY YES I'LL PAY $10 FOR ON THE DISC DLC THAT SHOULD ALREADY BE UNLOCKED, HERE HAVE MY (PARENTS') MONEY"
it sucks
 
I always feel like DLC is stuff that the team couldn't finish on time because of publisher deadlines, and now I have to pay extra for it.
 
user30
paying for multiplayer maps is the worst of DLC, in my mind
2
 
user30
especially when the DLC is announced before the game release
 
@ThomasMcDonald I feel the same way. There is nothing wrong with DLC in theory, the problem is what it has become.
 
@ThomasMcDonald ugh, I don't understand that at all
We used to get that stuff on PC in free patches

user30
12:52 AM
but it's all supply and demand, I guess
 
user30
making 3 maps might make, well, I wouldn't want to guess how much it makes
 
user30
but I'm sure it is wildly more profitable than making a whole new campaign
 
Also, am I the only one that noticed the the only reason Batman: Arkham Asylum has created was so that could up a lot of hype for Arkham City and milk it for all it's worth?
@ThomasMcDonald If you made a whole new campaign you would actually have to do something
 
@Wipqozn I need to finish it still but I'll be curious about how it ends. I hope it doesn't set up a sequel. I do enjoy the games, but I can't see where they would go after this that wouldn't be completely ludicrous.
 
The reason so many companies release DLC map packs is that it costs very little to make. Most of them just come down to throwing down buildings in a map editor.
Hell, I remember COD1 (or two? Can't remember which), in which one of the map packs just released small sections of a single player campaign map
 
12:55 AM
@ThomasMcDonald Could be worse. Quake Live rents access to additional maps.
...then again, the game itself doesn't cost anything
 
And I mean, I'm not trying to be an entitled douche who thinks that once a developer has their product on the market, they shouldn't earn any more off of it or something. But it's just... I dunno. It just feels off, I guess.
 
user30
I don't expect any new content
 
@FallenAngelEyes yeah, that's the thing. There is nothing wrong with releasing extra content for your game, and expecting us to pay for it. The problem is that most DLC is crap rushed together in a week, with a $20 price tag slapped on.
 
I'm just annoyed by the fragmentation that crates
Want to play the game with your friends? Better hope they all have the DLC!
 
Anywho, off to sleep. Have a good night all. I imagine everyone who's not still here is playing Skyrim and isn't sleeping anyway, so...
@badp Yeah, this sucks a lot, too
 
12:58 AM
Nite.
 
user30
but there's a clear decline over several years from the quantity of 'game' you might get in an expansion pack for your buck against what you get now
 
user30
I don't mind paying for new content, if it's worth it in 'gain'
 
Before I sleep, here, have a Phoenix Wright movie preview:
flees
 
It is true that the game you're shipping in physical form has been frozen for two months, and that's plenty of time to make and ship a DLC.
 
user30
1:00 AM
company-specific pre order bonuses as well, fuck everything about that shit
3
 
...but you're also delivering through Steam :/
@ThomasMcDonald ...one could say the same about promotional items in TF2 :P
 
user30
@badp to an extent, I guess
 
to their merit, all promotional content is purely cosmetic
that doesn't reduce the value of a Big Kill though.
Was surprised to see it was only a few refineds short of a gentlemanne's service medal.
 
user30
but yet BF3 had different pre order bonuses across, what, 3 different retailers?
 
user30
@badp depends which number medal :P
 
1:02 AM
@FallenAngelEyes I assume it will just 2 hours of phoenix wright saying "OBJECTION!"

anyway, I'm also going to head off
 
@ThomasMcDonald BUY THE GAME THREE TIMES IF YOU REALLY WANT ALL THE CONTENTS DAMMIT

Q: Can I change my character's race/name after the start?

BeskaI was asked what my race was, and I chose...but then I managed to exit without setting a name, gender...anything else. So now I'm a dude called "Prisoner".

CyberSkullWhich unlockable characters in LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 are the earliest unlocks for all the exploration powers (such as Dark Wizard)?

 
1:45 AM
@ArdaXi That list is frighteningly long.
Should this be added to the memes thread?
 
@GnomeSlice trolling you with what is love? Probably.
 
@Wipqozn I mean just the video itself. The list wasn't entirely trolling of me.
 
@GnomeSlice Most of it was
Easily 90% of the list is people trolling you with what is love
 
Wow, Voxatron is getting a LOT of attention, mostly from Minecraft fans.
=[
 
@GnomeSlice cough
 
1:52 AM
@badp cough?
 
Voxatron and Minecraft are completely different games right? :P
 
'Captain Sparkles' is apparently starting up a lets play series covering Voxatron, so that's sure to get even more Minecraft fans into it.
 
I'm sure his intro will sound like "it's like Minecraft, but with smaller blocks!"
:P
 
@badp ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
It makes me sad.
There are tons of posts in the BBS about 'CUSTOM SKIN, PLAY AS A CREEPER' and 'TEMPLE OF MINECRAFT' and whatnot.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I slept for so long that the SWTOR Beta session for me started 3 hours ago

Wipqozn's Law of Drowning: All bridge messages will, eventually, be drowned in the flood of questions.

Q: Creating Custom Characters?

GnomeSliceSo, with the release of Voxatronv1.6, you're supposedly able to create custom player character models now for use in the game. But the whole system seems really complicated, and I, for one, have no idea where to begin. How do I go about creating a new character?

@GnomeSlice in that muffin contest?
 
@Wipqozn Yes.
I managed to get a shitty recording uploaded.

@GnomeSlice Has voting started?
 
@Wipqozn Not yet.

@SimonSheehan Planning to buy skyrim?
 
@Wipqozn The end result is the same.
 
2:38 AM
@GnomeSlice You could just open the task manager, and run explorer.exe
 
@Wipqozn I want too! I feel maybe I should play Oblivion first though.
 
@Arkive How do I run it from the task manager? I had stopped it, I think.
Oh wow.
Never knew you could do that.
 
@SimonSheehan There's no need to, really.
 
@Wipqozn Oh, really? Sweet.... Do I need a super leet PC to play this game? :P
I can't say I've followed it enough
 
It's a nifty little trick.
 
2:39 AM
Just heard most of it from kids at school
 
@SimonSheehan For high settings most likely... not sure what the min. specs are
 
@SimonSheehan I'm using a 3.5 year old laptop with 2 gigs of ram.
 
Yay, I can play this game in an hour if it doesn't crash first! \o/
 
Granted, I've heavily tweaked some .ini settings to get it to run smoothly.
 
OS: Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
Processor: Dual Core 2.0GHz or equivalent processor
Memory: 2GB System RAM
Hard Disk Space: 6GB free HDD Space
Video Card: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM
Sound: DirectX compatible sound card
 
2:40 AM
FUCK.
 
Thats the minimum.
 
oh, that reminds me. Skyrim suggested using the high settings, I'm going to try Ultra and see if my computer blows up.
 
Is it a PS3 game perhaps too?

@SimonSheehan yes

@SimonSheehan Yes
 
Somehow i always associated Elder Scrolls with hardcore PC gamers :P
 
ninja'd
 
GOOOODDDDAMMMMMIT.
 
@SimonSheehan you are correct in doing so
 
@Wipqozn I take it its a traditional PC game that got ported or something?
 
2:41 AM
PC is the ideal platform for it, but if your PC is crap, then nothing wrong with buying it on a console
 
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
 
@Wipqozn Am I going to miss out on features or find wonky controls though?
 
The latest one was designed with console in mind, though. The default pc ui and controls don't feel like pc ui and controls.
 
Ahh okay. It's definitely on my list at any rate.
I want to get Infamous 2 first
 
@SimonSheehan well, on the console you won't have access to the (pardon the pun) console, or any mods for that matter
 
2:42 AM
Since I played the hell out of hte first one.
 
@Arkive yeah, the UI was designed for the console :/
 
I'm still amazed that it defaults to separate x/y cursor sensitivities.
 
@SimonSheehan Arena?
 
@Wipqozn Good point... But I lack a good graphics card
@Wipqozn First Infamous*
 
@SimonSheehan oh okay, I missed the infamous 2 line
 
2:43 AM
@Wipqozn :P Yeah. I just loved the first and don't want to miss the second one
 
well skyrim will offer 500+ hours of gameplay I'd say, so better to wait really
wait until you have time to really play it for those 500+ hours
I'll be stopping for skyward sword myself, but I plan to pick it up again directly after wards
 
@Wipqozn Indeed. My list of games is just growing so fast because of you people!
 
@SimonSheehan You're being cultured.
 
@SimonSheehan We're all in the same boat. I will never get through my ever growing list of "to-play" games.
 
@SimonSheehan Don't ever talk to me about indie games.
If you enjoy your money.
 
2:45 AM
@GnomeSlice Talks to you about indie games
 
@Wipqozn I don't understand the context of that '?'
 
Currently my list (in order of most important): Infamous 2, Medieval 2: Total War, Skyrim, Fallout 3.
 
@GnomeSlice It was meant to be a way of asking you about indie games, get you walking. I realized that wasn't clear, hence my edit.
@SimonSheehan lol you call that a list :P
 
Also gonna download DC Universe online tonight.... its now free on PS3!
 
@SimonSheehan Th...that's it?
 
2:46 AM
@Wipqozn that's the shortened list ;)
Honestly, theres a gazillion games I want to play
 
@SimonSheehan haha okay.
 
I wish Gamestop would let you try them all
 
@SimonSheehan same. My list is huge.
 
I go in there, look around, and see hundreds of games, new and used, old and fresh, and I want to play ALL of them
 
if only I was a timelord with a TARDIS... then I'd have all the time in the world
 
2:47 AM
However, money and my age do not allow so :p
 
Since I've gotta wait a bit longer before they let me buy Mature Rated games
 
@SimonSheehan you youngsters
 
Those are just the ones I have in front of me, on this laptop.
 
@SimonSheehan oh my, I was unaware that law exists in Canada.
 
2:47 AM
@Wipqozn 3 months until I'm 17 :P
 
@SimonSheehan swings cane Get off my lawn!
 
@Powerlord you're 57, right?
 
Oh and Metal Gear Solid HD collection
MUST HAVE
 
@Wipqozn Something like that.
 
2:48 AM
@SimonSheehan Dark Souls?
@Powerlord I've always assumed you were either 27 or 32, I don't know why.
 
I'm disappointed that Metal Gear Solid HD collection contains every main series Metal Gear game except the best one (MGS1)
 
Has anyone gotten DC universe online for PS3?
 
@Wipqozn Probably because I am 32.
 
@Powerlord Meh.. I say 2 is the best :P
 
@Powerlord wait..what? Why would they release a collection without releasing the first in the series :/
 
2:50 AM
@Wipqozn Blame Hideo
 
@Powerlord that would probably be it then
 
@Wipqozn MGS is the third Metal Gear game, but the collection includes Metal Gear 1 and 2.
 
@Powerlord I was referring to the metal gear solid sub-series, actually
although the fact they included metal gear 1 and 2 makes the exclusion of MGS1 all the stranger
@Powerlord Do you know which versions of metal gear 1/2 were included?
 
@Wipqozn Not until you realize every game in the package had a PS2, PSP, or PS3 release.
@Wipqozn The ones that came out on PS2, of course.
 
@Powerlord ah, okay
 
2:52 AM
Essentially, they didn't want to have to redo MGS's graphics to a resonably modern standard.
Whereas they're not trying with MG/MG2.
 
@Powerlord oh, you misunderstood. I meant mg1 and 2, not mgs 1 and 2
 
Well Snake Eater and Subsistence had been updated a bit already - new camera system, a few tweaks
 
The Japanese version of the collection includes a PSN voucher for MGS instead of MGS:PW
 
So they really didn't do a whole lot besides just port it to PS3
@Powerlord Its $5 on PSN :P
 
@Wipqozn I know you did, but MG1 and 2 had a release on Disc 2 of MGS3: Subsistence.
I know, I have the PS2 versions of MG 1 and 2.
 
2:53 AM
Wow, proun is pretty great.
 
@Powerlord oh okay, never mind then.
 
In fact, it's the only North American release of MG2 (until the HD collection that is)
 
@GnomeSlice doesn't look terribly original
 
@Wipqozn No?
 
Yay, only 700 more people.
 
2:54 AM
@Powerlord I thought MG2 was released on the virtual consolE?
 
The only reason I want the HD collection is for Peace Walker on PS3
 
@Wipqozn None of the Metal Gear games have had Virtual Console releases as far as I can tell.
Available titles The following is a list of the 392 games available on the Virtual Console for the Wii in North America, sorted by system and in the order they were added in the Wii Shop Channel. To sort by other columns, click the corresponding icon in the header row.

Nothing for Metal Gear on there.
 
@Powerlord you are incorrect. My mistake.
 
Metal Gears = Sony usually?
Seems to be exclusive to Sony at any rate, until the new 3DS one comes out
 
@SimonSheehan metal gear solid tends be more sony focused, but the metal gear series started years before sony went into gaming

Q: Vampire or werewolf?

TobyI am trying to decide weather I should become a vampire or werewolf. could you please tell me some of the pros and cons of each. like does the vampire get weakened by all light or just sunlight? and as a werewolf would I be weak to silver?

 
Skyrim just hit 50k views by the way
 
@SimonSheehan Metal Gear 1 got an NES port. MGS appeared on the PS1 and PC, and was later ported to the GC. MGS2 had PS2 and Xbox releases
 
@Powerlord MGS1 was PS1, MGS2 was PS2 xbox and PC, MGS3 was PS2, MGS4 was PS3
Peace walker was PSP
(Metal Gear Solid Fanboy here)
 
What about that card-based game for PSP?
 
I've beaten MGS4 about.... 16 times now
 
@Powerlord I stand corrected! :D
adds that to his wish list
 
The weird part was... I think Microsoft published it.
Granted, that was before the Xbox came out
 
Pre-Xbox era
 
Anyway, I can't help but wonder if Silicon Knights blocked them from putting Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (the GameCube port of MGS1) on the HD Collection.
 
Well I heard Twin Snakes was not that good
At any rate: I must go now. Good night gaming people!

Q: Vampire or werewolf?

TobyI am trying to decide weather I should become a vampire or werewolf. could you please tell me some of the pros and cons of each. like does the vampire get weakened by all light or just sunlight? and as a werewolf would I be weak to silver?

 
@Wipqozn Nope, we treat them like slaves.
 
Is it possible to change the close reason for that to "exact duplicate"?
Although it's current wording is subjective, it can easily be edited to remove that issue, and it would have been, if the question was a duplicate of two others questions. So the real issue with the question, and why it should be closed, is that it is a duped.
I clearly have too much free time.
 
@GnomeSlice: btw, have you ever played 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, or 6 Days a Sacrifice?
 
@Powerlord Those don't sound familiar. Are they worth checking out?
 
3:15 AM
They're free point and click adventure games by everyone's favorite snarky critic, Yahtzee Crowshaw of Zero Punctuation.
 
No idea who that is.
 
@GnomeSlice They're not too bad. They are kinda horror-themed, though.
Zero Punctuation is an ongoing video game review series created by comedy writer and video game journalist Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw and published by the online magazine The Escapist. Background The series began when Croshaw created two video reviews, one for The Darkness demo for the PlayStation 3 and the other for Fable: The Lost Chapters for the PC and uploaded them on YouTube. Among other organizations, The Escapist contacted Croshaw and offered him a contract shortly thereafter. Since then it has become extremely popular. The series remains one of the publication's most prolific and si...
 
Hmm.... I see.
I'll make a note to check them out. Are they sequential?
 
@GnomeSlice Yes. 7 references 5; 6 references both 5 and 7.
Unless you meant sequential as in "in numerical order by title"
In that case, no. They were released 5, 7, 6, and should really be played in that order... although there is a kinda-annoying side-game called Trilby's Notes that takes place between 5 and 6.
 
Aha! Trilby's notes I came across just the other day. It's on my list of 'to-play'.
 
3:21 AM
My biggest beef with Trilby's Notes is that it goes back to the old style Sierra "move with the mouse but type commands in to do them" thing
 
Doesn't Gemini Rue do that?
I forget.
 
@GnomeSlice Don't know, haven't played it yet.
 
@Powerlord You should, from what I've done so far, it's pretty good.
 
I have a very long "to play" list.
And I totally forgot Zelda: Twilight Princess is on it, and I have under two weeks until Skyward Sword hits.
Reviews of Skyward Sword that I've seen have been very positive.
 
@Powerlord Me too, mostly indies.
 
3:24 AM
Yeah, mine is mostly retail games of one sort or another.
 
I can't afford to play a lot of retail games, plus I find many of them too hard to get into. I've been playing a lot of indies and casual games lately.
 
@GnomeSlice Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the special editions of the entire 5 Days series are now downloadable from his site (fullyramblomatic) instead of requiring donations.
I but a lot of games on Steam sales.
I also have a backlog of PS3 and Xbox 360 games, most of which I bought on sale or got as gifts.
 
@Powerlord Link?
And yeah, since someone introduced me to the humble indie bundle, I haven't missed one yet, as well as the ones from indieroyale.com
Which reminds me, I'd completely forgotten I'd purchased their second bundle.
 
Can you link me to the site, rather than to the downloads?
I can't download them all right now.
Oh, maybe I can. they're tiny.
 
3:30 AM
@GnomeSlice OK, sure. Fully Ramblomatic Games
Interesting that he uses gamedamage.net for hosting the downloads... it was a sample game review thing he and two other guys set up trying to sell the idea to an Australian TV network, I think.
 
Odd.
Also, you may or may not be interested in this.
IndieVania looks like it's going to be an awesome site.
It's currently in beta.
 
Oh hey, I'm back. Looks like they fixed chat.SE for iOS
 
Not sure what's up with my network, downloads are going incredibly slowly.
 
@GnomeSlice GameDamage.net is also likely in Australia.
 
Anyone played DCUO on PS3 yet?
 
3:35 AM
@Powerlord Not just from GameDamage.net, though.
Although those ones did go pretty slowly.
 
@SimonSheehan When I play it, it'll likely be on PC.
 
@Powerlord is Free now too!
Quite exciting
 
@SimonSheehan Yes, I'm aware of that.
 
I'm very disappointed that my Nitronic Rush download was faulty. It was like 450 mb.
I'll have to wait until my next schoolday to get it again.
You guys should promote Indievania.com. I think I'm going to make a community advert for it as well.
Er... why does my voxatron folder keep vanishing?
Derp. Because I moved it.
 
3:50 AM
Speaking of which, I have several games I need to move and symlink
btw, thanks Bioware. Telling me that a 19.8GB game couldn't fit in the 28.6GB I had free.
Now it's on my slower HDD and takes an eternity to load.
 
Aaaand pop goes my internet.

Q: Do weapons and spells in the off-hand suffer from reduced effectiveness?

LessPop_MoreFizzWhen dual wielding, is there a damage penalty to the offhand weapon? What about a spell equipped on that slot? Or is the dragonborn ambidextrous?

Bravo840The Hack and Slash perk in the One-handed skill tree says that Attacks with war axes cause extra bleeding damage What is bleeding damage? Is it instant or damage over time? Do undead take bleeding damage? I love the flavor of using war axes but I want to know more about this perk before I ...

Q: How do I complete the first Thieves Guild quest?

spugsleyI am currently in the city of Riften in Skyrim. I'm working on the quest A Chance Encounter where I've been asked to steal Madesi's ring out of the locked box in her merchant's stall. This quest initiates contact with the Thieve's Guild so it's important that I finish it. I'm able to get behind...

Q: At what level should I be able to engage a Troll?

deevus I have discovered a Troll. I have attempted several times to kill it without success. Even if I try to block its attacks I usually end up being pummeled into the ground or flung at least 50 metres into the air. I read a book saying that trolls are weak against Fire and have trouble regenera...
