@Powerlord Netflix only? I'd heard about the show, but that's wacky
 
@Powerlord Really now? I was never a fan, but I know a few friends who loved it. I heard it was a really smart show, hence why it was cancelled.
 
@ThomasMcDonald NLP? As a college course?
 
user30
 
Oh, right, of course. Abbreviations.
 
@Wipqozn No, it was on FOX. Everyone knows FOX keeps crappy shows on the air and cancels the good ones.
 
7:02 PM
cough Firefly cough
 
@Powerlord They do, but that's because the average fox viewer is a complete idiot.

@ArdaXi I was thinking Firefly, Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, and Dollhouse... and that was without even stopping to think about it.
 
@Powerlord Don't forget Futurama!
 
@Wipqozn You can't stop Futurama.
 
Arrested Development
 
7:03 PM
@OrigamiRobot and now we've come full circle
 
user30
mumble y u no work?
 
user30
ah
 
@MarcoCeppi Are you here?
 
@ThomasMcDonald Maybe you should... speak up.
 
server down?
 
7:04 PM
Tell me, Mr McDonald. What good is a mumble server if you're unable to speak?
 
user30
@Ronan are we playing magicka?
 
Yes.
 
user30
....
 
I can't get into mumble apparently I created a password, but I don't remember doing it.
@badp Are you coming?

Q: Why are Elder Scrolls games so often littered with the same lines from different voices/genders?

BirdieWhy is it The Elder Scrolls games have a tendency to record the exact same audio with different voices and genders? For example, in Skyrim a mage might say "Magic and blah blah, for those with the skill to cast them.", then six other mages will say the same thing, except in their own voice! Are...

Q: Gears of war 3 local coop + online

pistacchioDoes GoW3 allow local coop and online coop at the same time so that my friend and I can play on split screen from my house and join a couple of friends online? What kind of games are allowed this way (if any)? Thanks

Q: After being a werewolf at night, how do I prevent becoming naked?

Tom WijsmanEvery time I leave the beast form, it seems I'm naked and don't wear any of my clothes. Is there a way to not lose them after returning? Or should I become used to add my apparel to the favorites list?

 
7:22 PM
hm
my Magicka window went all white
it appears to be frozen.
 
Same.
 
welp
 
So, take a look at the various comments to answers here:

Q: Using a laptop as the monitor for a console

JonnI'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but here goes: How can you use the laptop monitor as the visuals for a console? I only have a Wii to test it with. I'm not very good with hardware so any step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated (if it's hard to set up).

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Look taken.
 
Am I in the wrong? Is my 5 years of retail warping my perception here? Because that's where I picked up the habit of listening for the actual problem when people ask for solutions.
Generally, when someone asks for help implementing a solution, it's a 50/50 whether they actually understand the problem well enough to have chosen the correct solution.
 
7:25 PM
hmm
 
back. 25 minutes late as foretold
 
I agree with @LessPopMoreFizz
 
I leave @badp to the decision runs
but no I also agree with LessPop
 
Also, I'm guessing it's because of the lamentable of the tag, but this question deserves more love. After all, it's about .

A: Is there a console command for levelling the playing field between myself and children?

LessPop_MoreFizzConsole commands are too much effort. Fortunately for us, there's a mod!

@LessPop_MoreFizz I hate that kid.
 
7:32 PM
@Wipqozn I think we all do. I think we all do.
 
I like how if I didn't know better I'd assume that's some intro cutscene to a game where your sister is killed and you have to go hunt down the killer

Q: Why are Russians portrayed as the bad guys in games such as Modern Warfare when in reality the US are the bad guys

Karan BhatiaIt is just propaganda, the Russians just did one invasion of Afghanistan but the US has done dozens and killed more people than all the rest of the countries combined ever. How is it that the US is shown as the hero. Are gamers that stupid, to buy that shit?

 
but no, that's just @LessPopMoreFizz having fun
 
So, Angry Mob Games seems to have disapperated the recent contest into nothing.
The winners were supposed to be announced yesterday.
 
@GnomeSlice Pardon?
 
7:37 PM
I don't think that word is one that exists in this world
 
Eh.
 
when has that ever stopped @GnomeSlice
 
The wildfire contest page no longer exists, and the facebook contest page is blank.
 
So, umm, can someone fix the system banner about the contest winners? It's making my OCD go wild
 
Guess they figured it wasn't worth the trouble.
 
7:38 PM
You're going for either dissolved, disassembled, or if you're getting your fantastic nature on it's be disapparated.
 
@GnomeSlice What contest are you talking about?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz What portion?
 
user30
The one he kept going on about...
 
@Wipqozn That one I had you guys voting for.
 
@GraceNote (Origami Robots name links to his question, not his profile.)
 
7:39 PM
@GnomeSlice huh? I don't remember any of that.
 
All of the other name links go to profiles.
 
@Wipqozn Then forget it.
 
good catch @LessPop
 
@GnomeSlice Are you sure you didn't just dream this contest?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I noticed that too, thought it might have been intentional
@Wipqozn Yes.
 
7:40 PM
@GnomeSlice How, All of the other ones display expected behavior
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, well, I'm an idiot.
5
For fuck's sake.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Repaired. Only for the remnant of the original time, but the still, repaired.
 
ಠ_ಠ
 
@GraceNote Yay!
 
@GraceNote I've never heard anyone say 'the still' like that before. Is that correct?
I ask because you're usually correct.
 
7:41 PM
@GnomeSlice In all honesty, you should just stop leaving such openings around. It's like walking into Shark Mart after being bloodied from your trip to Bear Mart.
 
@GnomeSlice True.
@GraceNote I think he does it intentionally.
 
@GraceNote They don't have Shark Mart up here in Canada.
 
user30
@GnomeSlice Why does that expletive have an apostrophe?
 
@GnomeSlice Technically, if I'm always correct, then by natural result I will be correct in my usage of any terminology regardless of whether or not it is correct, it will self-correct itself.
 
@ThomasMcDonald Possessive. Like "For God's Sake".
 
7:42 PM
@ThomasMcDonald Because he's not a consumer of Japanese rice wine
 
user30
@GnomeSlice nope?
 
@GraceNote Was afraid you'd do that. Edited.
@ThomasMcDonald Yes?
 
At any rate, it's like the verbal equivalent of SAKURAI.
 
I'm not familiar with that term.
 
You're just minding your own business reading a sentence, nothing should go wrong and yet there you go, tripping and slipping on a sentence because of the extraneous the.
 
7:45 PM
Tripping? Slipping? It seemed like a harmless question to me. I was generally curious if I could use that as accepted grammar.
 
I think you missed my the point.
2
 
OH MAN OH MAN WHAT A DEAL
 
@GraceNote whoa, did you just make grammatical error?
 
I'm so glad I have a Duane Reade card!
@Wipqozn I'm pretty sure not.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz If you're buying in bulk.
 
7:46 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I agree it is very unlikely, but it looks like he did.
 
By which I mean MEGA bulk.
 
@Wipqozn No, I am pretty certain that that was a very carefully considered the sentence.
 
@Wipqozn Intentionally. Read our above discussion.
 
@GnomeSlice I'll just take your word for it.
 
STOP IT.

"TIP: Did you know tips are shown during the loading screen?"
 
@ThomasMcDonald That's a good tip! I didn't know that!
 
user30
oh Magicka.
 
I am mad that I didn't do my Christmas shopping before Skyrim came out
 
Apparently I've used up all my stars for today.
 
@RonanForman Sup?
 
7:50 PM
@ThomasMcDonald Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts does that too.
 
@GnomeSlice lol gotcha
 
@Wipqozn What? There's a limit?
 
30 per day or summat like that
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, there is, I've never reached it before though.
 
7:50 PM
Incoming.
 
@GnomeSlice must have said a lot of things that made him look like a jerk out of context yesterday.
 
As star and a flag.
 
@MarcoCeppi The best things in chat are worthy of both.
 
Oh, no incoming. Huh, go fig
 
@GraceNote What were you expecting? lazers spam?
 
7:52 PM
I was expecting a recursive mod mob as mods flood in to see who else is flooding in, thus such flooding in.
 
@GraceNote oh a lot of flags? I see I see.
 
Someone should probably write up an entry in the Memes of Chat meta post about the constant starring of Shit GnomeSlice Says - especially with no context.
@Wipqozn Not a lot of flags. But A flag. And usually people rush in to see the context.
Or just the fallout.
Or to chat with the people who rushed in.
 
I assume Gnome was suspended as well?
 
Not for long this time
 
@Wipqozn I would take his silence of an affirmation thereof.
 
7:54 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Indeed.
 
I always get here just in time to miss out on the flags.
 
I have fully used my vote allowance for today.
Wat.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz You voted 40 times?
Vox Populi FTW!
 
@John I guess so!

8:01 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Although, your page says you only voted 15 times today...
 
@John Chat stars.
 
@John I think he means stars
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz @Wipqozn Oooh
 
So am I a dumb? Where are you guys seeing the flagged posts listed?
 
Has GnomeSlice been that amusing today?
 
8:03 PM
@John So it would seem
 
@IanPugsley There aren't any flagged posts at the moment. That, and you don't have the rep to view chat flags yet.
 
that's what I was wondering
10k?
 
This was his best one without a doubt
16 hours ago, by GnomeSlice
Is it designed to draw attention to her breasts?
 
@IanPugsley A post that has been flagged is visible to users with at least 10k chat rep
 
thought so
 
8:04 PM
@IanPugsley 10K combined network rep.
 
oh, not site-specific?
 
It shows up as a little blue number, regardless of what room you're in. This is why I said incoming earlier - moderators always see flags so they usually tend to en masse rush a room when a flag shows up, so they see context.
 
ahhh gotcha
 
@GraceNote Could be they felt that a simple 'fuck you' has no need for context to be actioned.
 
@IanPugsley SO and MSO are separate, the rest are combined.
 
8:05 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Or just a matter of poor timing as well.
 
@Wipqozn What game did you propose in the GO room?
 
@John magicka
They are already playing it
 
@Wipqozn Ah.
Is that our game for today?
 
@John Free Weekend!
 
@John Yeah
 
8:08 PM
Go! Shoot lasers! Set goblins on Fire! CROSS THE STREAMS (trust me on that last one. Do it. Your teammates will love you for it.)
 
I dislike magicka myself
 
Yeah, I think I'll pass on this one.
 
Magicka is basically Friendly Fire Extravaganza.
 
user30
That's the best bit
 
@GnomeSlice which stuff?

Q: I need to test network connection before I can connect to Xbox Live

murgatroid99I recently connected my Xbox 360 to my college campus's wired network, which requires me to use a static IP Address. Since then, almost every time I turn on my Xbox I am not connected to Xbox Live. The only way I have found to connect is to attempt to connect, invariably fail, test my network con...

 
@DavidFullerton Well, for example, setting up the page username/short url (the one that can't be changed), and facebook adverts.
 
oh right, yes
 
@GraceNote Sorry for that misinterpretation.
 
I've stopped playing. It's kind of boring.
 
Hello, my friends and compatriots!
 
8:29 PM
@RonanForman Like I said, it's a terrible game.
 
user30
@RonanForman meh.
 
@MarcoCeppi I couldn't get on to the mumble server.
 
My friend did the best (and shortest) lets play on Magicka.
 
I'd be more fun if everyone was talking, but I was just me and @ThomasMcDonald and he wan't talking much.
 
That still makes me lol.
Watch it, it's 25 seconds.
 
8:32 PM
I don't get it.
 
@GnomeSlice 25 seconds too long imo
 
You haven't watched it, you have no idea what it's about.
 
@RavenDreamer I don't think they're here.

Rump-punch?
 
8:33 PM
HAH!
 
@ThomasMcDonald IS that deer scratching his foot?
 
@Wipqozn Yes.
 
It looks like something is sti ck in his hoof, and he's trying to get it out
no fear
 
Too bad it's fake.
There's no way a deer would let a car get that close to it.
 
IDK if it's fake
 
8:36 PM
Great. I'm lost. In wool. -_-
 
It is fake.
 
@GnomeSlice Right. That's why there are 'deer crossing' signs at roads. Because they don't get near cars.
 
WHAT MADNESS IS THIS
 
Take it from someone who lives in an area with a lot of deer.
@ArdaXi Clearly you've never seen a deer on the road before.
 
I have.
 
8:36 PM
They have a tendency to run across the road when frightened, which is why the signs are up, so that you're on the lookout for them.
A deer wouldn't stand in the road like that scratching itself that near to cars.
 
Definitely not all of them.
 
Can you just shut the hell up for once and accept that I'm right.
2
Jesus.
 
Err, no.
 
@GnomeSlice Except you're not.
Some deers are stupid, just like some people.
2
 
I'm getting really sick of your stupid need to prove everyone wrong.
@Wipqozn That's why they run across the road when frightened by a car.
Because they're stupid.
 
8:38 PM
@GnomeSlice Ever heard of a "deer in the headlights"?
 
@John Yes. That deer is not frozen in the headlights.
 
@GnomeSlice Some deer will, though.
 
user30
hmm. I need to get an iPhone
 
That's actually very common, deer often freeze on the road staring at your headlights.
In fact it's usually what happens when you come across a deer on the road.
 
8:39 PM
I know someone whose car was ruined by a deer that wouldn't move.
 
@GnomeSlice I thought you just said a deer would never let a car get that close to it?

A deer wouldn't stand in the road like that scratching itself that near to cars.
 
Yeah...you're contradicting yourself @GnomeSlice...
 
Not like that. Deer get frozen in fear by oncoming cars.
 
@MarcoCeppi Ahh! Jimmy Whales!
 
You're all missing the point! Buck off!
 
8:40 PM
That deer does not look afraid at all, which leads me to believe it's fake.

They have a tendency to run across the road when frightened, which is why the signs are up, so that you're on the lookout for them.
 
@Wipqozn Yes, and?
 
@MarcoCeppi I see what you did there...
@GnomeSlice Are you familiar with the Galapagos Islands?
 
@RavenDreamer I am not.
 
@GnomeSlice you just said that a deer stand there when frightened, nor runs across the road.
 
8:42 PM
@GnomeSlice They are a group of remote islands (where Darwin did his research, actually) where, because there are no humans, the animals have no fear of man.

Not like that. Deer get frozen in fear by oncoming cars.

@Wipqozn Deer standing in the road often do, and then run at the last second. Usually when you encounter a deer, it's off to the side of the road.
What happens is that the deer will often freeze there until you're pretty close then dash across the road.
Which is when people usually hit them.
 
@GnomeSlice Basically, my point is that "deers running from humans / cars" is a learned behavior. Not all deer behave the same way, so your error is in trying to generalize deer behavior.
 
My family has hit numerous deer this way.
 
Mana keeps diserting us
votekick!
 
8:43 PM
@RavenDreamer That's where I was trying to get him to go to. Not all deer are the same.
 
voteban?
 
I have never ever seen a deer even remotely near that calm around moving traffic.
 
@badp Deserting you where?
 
@GnomeSlice I have
 
@GnomeSlice So if you haven't seen it, it doesn't exist?
 
8:44 PM
@GnomeSlice So have I.
 
@John Face it, you just wanted to correct him.

Q: Does Nightingale armor scale as you level light armor?

DeanMcI am looking at a build centered around light armor, the lord stone, mara's blessing and breton resistences. One of the armors I would like to use is the nightingale one. From what I read it is leveled, what I would like to know is does it scale with your level or is it locked to the level you ge...

Q: Do elemental resistances stack with magical resistance

DeanMcI play a breton so have some magical resistance. I gather that this resists all magic. So if I have 25% magic resistance and 25% frost resistance, do I actually have 50% frost resistance?

 
@GnomeSlice I've never seen @ArdaXi in real life, that doesn't mean he doesn't exist.
 
Whatever, I'm sick of everything I write being torn apart by you people.
 
@GnomeSlice Actually I didn't notice that until after I posted it. I still want to know where though.
@GnomeSlice Then write better stuff. :)
 
8:48 PM
I... came back in the middle of something, again, didn't I?
 
@GraceNote Define something.
 
Anything in the happenings, as it were
 
@GraceNote If you mean @GnomeSlice getting mad at the world for correcting him, then yes, you did.
To be fair, it's not hard to get mad at Arda and Wipqozn.
 
Do I need to defuse anything? Would anyone like some peaceful mediation?
 
@GraceNote Ohm.
 
8:50 PM
@GraceNote @GnomeSlice Sounds like he needs some peace.
 
Hrm
 
@John I surely have no idea what you mean.
 
@RavenDreamer V over A?
 
@Wipqozn Figures you'd say that. Liar.
 
@John I never lie!
I find your accusations insulting good sir.
 
8:55 PM
@ArdaXi I bet it was all in your plans to make me twitch at you using the unit rather than the measurement, even though contextually it makes sense.
 
@Wipqozn I have seen Arda in real life and I can confirm he doesn't exist.
2
 
@GraceNote That was... exactly what I was thinking when I said it.
 
@badp Never mind then.
 
I was going to say V over I, but that wouldn't make sense with "Ohm"
 
Haha
 
8:58 PM
Yeah, I messed up my holy meditative "Om."
 
This weekend's offers:
- Trine 2 with two genuine hats! And one of the few decent medic hats too. €12
