I'm getting constantly swarmed

Q: Countering Shyvana as a ranged

espaisOoof, Shyvana seems to be a bit overpowered compared to the rest of the champions. Or, at least if you believe the complaints from all opposing players anyway :D Typically I play a ranged character, such as Ashe. I attempt to harass her, yet she manages to keep up and overtake me as I run away...

A half-billion copies of Angry Birds have been downloaded? Kill me now.
@Powerlord you cannot get on a train in NYC without seeing somebody playing it
@Powerlord Okay. launches bird at @Powerlord
You know, if I were the Crush the Castle guy, I'd be really pissed right now.
Is this the way we're going lately? Someone creates a brilliant game, someone else steals it, rebrands it and makes millions?
3
Yup.
That reminds me, I actually went back and played some levels in the Crush the Castle players pack the other day, just because it adds stuff to my Kongregate score because it was their daily achievement.
@Powerlord I love the dailies
20:56
@ArdaXi That pisses me off so much.
Every time someone mentions angry birds, I always make sure to mention how he just stole the idea.
@Wipqozn Yeah, same :/
pretends not to notice the irony
@Wipqozn Isn't that the sort of iterative improvement that the free market is touted for?
@sjohnston Maybe, if it were improvement.
If you can make it shinier, better, bring it to a new medium, or just get more eyeballs on it, you're rewarded
20:59
@sjohnston Angry Birds doesn't actually improve on the Crush the Castle though, it's just the same game in a different skin.
What @ArdaXi and @FallenAngelEyes said
@sjohnston They made it shinier, better, brought it to a new platform and threw ads and a price tag on it.
.........
Put that way it sounds like a Mac.
Also, the fact that he strolls around like he is some a genius game dev, and actually has the nerve to rip into companies like Nintendo for having the nerve to sell their games for more than 99 cents, you start to really pis me off.
21:01
I'm looking at the achievements @badp's gotten for Blocks That Matter
the pop song references... shudder
@Wipqozn Put that way it really sounds like a Mac.

Q: Does the Guardian's Range stat affect the guardian pet's range, or the towers' range boost amount?

MaslowJust beat it with my monk, and the language isn't clear... is investing in the guardian pet stat guardian's range going to enhance the range at which the little pet reaches out to boost towers, or will it enhance how much range boost the towers he can reach will recieve?

@Wipqozn Wait. He's on our game dev?
No I read that wrong I read: "he strolls around like he's a genius on game dev"
@nicktimko sure publishers' interfaces can be a bit clunky, but it's nowhere near the DRM hell you experience with music, games, movies etc
@NickT good point.
Wait which publishers?
21:07
so that excuses it?>
@nicktimko I'm familiar with Gabe, he makes some good points. But may I ask which "interface" you are referring to?
@RonanForman Wiley
there was stuff in the news about them today
I managed to locate a copy of The Orange Box for PS3. I can finally introduce my aunt and uncle to the wonder that is Portal.
What the hell Gmail
I did a search in my mail
and it's listing me "1-20 of many"
MANY IS NOT A NUMBER
READING NUMBERS IS NOT HARD
pick "oldest" :P
AAAAAAAAGH
oh wait, the thing's gone
21:15
@FallenAngelEyes It is if you're not using a proper database for storage.
I guess it was too expensive to enumerate emails
@badp I can't, it's greyed out
you can still get an approximation tho
from the checkbox menu pick 'All'
"All 20 conversations on this page are selected. Select all 8000 conversations in Search results"
@FallenAngelEyes Google takes all sorts of shortcuts; makes things faster. Who cares what the one's place is on a search that returns 100000 results
Time for me to depart.
21:20
Ok?
Uh oh, I now has Batman, now I'm obligated to play it :P

Q: How to effectivly attack harvesters with zerglings?

comThis my first post here so hi everyone:) The thing is when i attack a harvesters with "a" hotkey, zerglings will always attack offensive units (which is almost always behind). Of course i can do it manualy to attack probes/SCV's/drones one by one but i think it should be a easier way to do this....

Q: Any games in which you play as dinosaur?

DezaI'm not talking about 5 minute flash games, but are there any actual games in which you can control the dinosaurs movement, and attack, jump, ect to a certain degree.

If Quake was done today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1ZtBCpo0eU via @mstum
@NickT I'd still like to know exactly how many results I have
It looks like Steam is cooperating again! I finally was able to purchase the games I've been trying to purchase for two weeks! Hurrah! Fingers crossed they cooperate through Skyrim!
21:35
@BrettWhiteΨ woo!
> Next week’s guest is Chris “moot” Poole, from 4chan and Canvas.
starts saving up on spam flags
just kidding :P
...oh wow, we're grabbing moot?
@badp Wait, what, seriously?
Holy shit
@badp guest where
@NickT SE podcast
21:47
is there a way to link to a conversation between two people on twitter?

Q: Elder Scrolls lore before starting Skyrim

DrakeI am waiting for Skyrim but I never played any other games of the Elder Scrolls series. Where can I find more info about the lore of Elder Scrolls series, in general, so that I can start reading something before the release?

I can see it in the side panel, but that's not a link
@NickT Nope.
You can link to one of the messages.
Love the Skyrim vs MW3 contest. It's just too bad that there isn't something that could present better competition for Skyrim...
@bwarner Never heard of this contest
22:03
@Wipqozn Check the Gaming Blog
Where most people see "Minecraft rip-off" I see "Infiniminer rip-off"

Q: How can I use underslung attachments in Battlefield 3?

heisheI have unlocked the Grenade Launcher attachment a while ago, and my m16a4 constantly has the underslung rail attached to it, but I can't seem to figure out how to actually use the grenade launcher. I have looked in the control menu in the options, and it lets me set a key for using underslung we...

@ArdaXi you're a hero, really
22:28
@bwarner thanks! Are you going to play either game?
we need to make sure we have some people actually planning to play them :)
@DavidFullerton I plan to play Skyrim
also, wait until you guys see the event page...it looks awesome
@DavidFullerton We have 10 people getting Skyrim from the earlier promotion, at least those will certainly play it
@ArdaXi Have you actually played infiniminer?
or do you claim it's a ripoff because people have claimed it's a ripoff?
because those people are wrong
I have.
I am aware of the differences.
They're the differences between Minecraft Classic and whatever-they-call-it-now.
22:31
Is that game actually for real?
Infiniminer == Minecraft Classic.
No, that crafted game.
There are many of them.
@ArdaXi what? I didn't know Minecraft Classic had teams.
Or ore scores. Or treasures.
user30
buuuurn
22:32
or took place on a moon.
@badp Server-side mods used to have stuff like that.
Oh, so people have modded Minecraft classic into being a clone of Infiniminer?
I guess that says how much Minecraft Classic was a clone of Infiniminer
Have you actually played Infiniminer?
Or have you only read descriptions of what the game was intended to be?
Because that's not how the game was actually played.
@ArdaXi I'm forced to agree with @badp. The game was played differently from what it was intended, ergo Notch make what people wanted infiniminer to be.
@Wipqozn Notch made what people made Infiniminer.
22:36
He took heavy inspiration, but he has done a lot more with it, and taken it beyond just a clone.
@Wipqozn He was asking for money before he did that.
@ArdaXi Not saying Notch is terribly original, but he's certainly not the same as the people who made "Crafted"
@Wipqozn Depends on the way you look at it.
Minecraft Classic was a game where you could place blocks to build stuff.
You could pay $10 to buy it.
Infiniminer was already a game where people could co-operatively build stuff.
@Arda He did sell it as a work in progress, everyone knew it was to be changed.
But how, nobody knew.
22:42
@ArdaXi I've actually played it. In Infiniminer, you choose one of four classes to get ores, then use the ores to mine deeper, then find treasures, then return them to surface and they become points.
In Minecraft Classic, you build stuff and post it on youtube.
@badp That's the theory, but everyone just ditched the objectives and built stuff.
Toootally the same game
@badp Exactly.
@badp That's the same as minecraft beta
user30
No it's not
22:44
In terms of gameplay, Minecraft Classic == Infiniminer, in multiplayer anyway.
Posting on YouTube? I'm doing it now.
People just built stuff together.

fredleyBecause, you know, scrolls is a pretty important aspect of the game.

Q: What would cause Sauron to attack?

Jack B NimbleIn the Commodore 64 manual for War In Middle Earth, the manual said: It is extremely rare for Sauron to venture out of Mordor. He would never, for instance, attack Minas Tirith. It was amusing to my brother and me that he not only attacked Minus Tirith in one particular game, he repeatedly ...

Ursa MajorIt was kinda action-puzzle game/ In the game you control some bouncing red spot (the game is not Cool Spot) or ball, which must climb to the exit in some living room jumping on bookshelfs etc. There was also interesting music.
