12:00 AM
I just missed it, didn't I...
 
@GraceNote Isn't his account going to be deleted anyways?
 
Nice Megaman remix/tribute?
 
@NickT He has 19 reputation, but I'm about to destroy his account.
 
@badp Thank you.
 
Heeeeeeeey.
 
12:07 AM
anyways, as I was saying, mana is a terri- oh whoa, hey there @Mana!
 
Heeeeeeeeeeeeey. sharpens knives
 
@GnomeSlice shares with my friend whom I share awesome music with
 
Tourettes can fuck off. Please.
I'm going to be eating through a straw by my forties.
If not sooner.
 
@GnomeSlice Assuming you don't snap by then and shoot up a village.
 
@Wipqozn Snap? I'm not sure you're familiar with what Tourette's Syndrome is.
 
12:09 AM
I'm still waiting for the day @ArdaXi stabs someone for using bad grammar.
@GnomeSlice My statement was unrelated to tourette's syndrome.
 
BAM. ONE FLAG DOWN.
 
He won't. He just likes sounding smarter than other people, I doubt it really bothers him that much. It bothers me, but I don't flip out about it.
 
@Mana YOU GO MAN! YOU KILL THOSE FLAGS! TEACH THEM WHO IS BOSS!
@GnomeSlice well, he does like sounding smarter than other people, but I do believe it greatly bothers him.
i was unaware u were bothered by poor grammer so much though
 
Probably no more than it bothers me. Which is to say I correct people sometimes, but I don't go out of my way to make them look like utter assholes doing it.
 
@Wipqozn I don't see that other thing as a recommendation question, though. It's just asking how you find what new demos are released for the PS3.
And as the accepted answer shows, there's a perfectly reasonable official way to do that.
 
12:12 AM
@Wipqozn I didn't even correct you.
@Mana You're really violent.
 
@ArdaXi jaja, I read through today's entire chatlog.
 
@Mana What a waste of time.
 
@badp you're a waste of time.
 
It was like watching the highlights from one's own boxing career.
 
@Wipqozn That's the point!
 
12:13 AM
@Mana Why is the Mana so unnice to the Arda? :(
 
@Mana Link to the quesiton? I'll reread it.
 
2
Q: Is there an url to access new demos that came out on PS3?

IAdapterWhere can I find the newest demos available for PS3? I would rather check them out from my PC.

I'm willing to let this one go.
 
Oh, I dunno, most gaming news sites?
 
@badp What's your opinion on this thing?
 
@Mana I'm still not sure about it, but I won't object if you decided to leave it open.
 
12:15 AM
@Mana I don't know. With a good answer there's no need to kill it.
 
OBJECTION!
 
And there's no obvious good answer out.
@Powerlord BACON!
 
points finger
That Bacon is illegal evidence!
 
You heard the man!
BACON IS ILLEGAL!
 
Not answering is also unnice :(
 
12:17 AM
It clearly needs to be removed and disposed of. In fact, I volunteer to dispose of it!
 
@ArdaXi Don't forget who convinced you to re-run for moderator in the first place, okay? ;)
 
@Mana I thought I did. :O
 
I thought I did
 
@Mana I thought you said you only told him to do that so you could rub your victory in his face if he lost?
 
@Powerlord N-nonsense. What. I did all the cool stuff. It was all me.
 
12:18 AM
@Mana Oh please, you've never done anything cool.
 
@Wipqozn Probably, but in the event it is undeleted or anything, or something. I dunno
 
Yay, now I get to detect if my latest BuiltinVotes change screwed up multiple choice votes or not.
 
@GraceNote badp already said he was deleting it, so no worries.
 
I stood back and did nothing while badp got railed on by NickT. That was pretty cool of me I thought.
 
Rumor has it that the Steam Forums have been hacked.
 
12:19 AM
Aug 3 at 14:33, by Mana
@Powerlord Remember Arda is a terrible mod?
ಠ_ಠ
 
So Valve took them offline "for maintenance"
 
@Powerlord About goddamn time.
 
Everyone, quick! Gang up on @Mana!
 
Apr 25 at 22:19, by Mana
> ARDA YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A TERRIBLE MOD
 
@Mana It would have been cooler if you froze the room!
 
12:20 AM
@Wipqozn By the time I realized I even had that power the conversation had pretty much finished :(
 
@Mana lies too.
Mar 27 at 10:33, by Mana
I will never stare @Arda ever again :/
 
so it would have been an awkward "I WANT TO SEEM IMPORTANT AND MODLY" room freeze.
 
Aug 3 at 22:34, by Mana
stares @Arda
 
bets are on!

Q: What do you think of our new platform?

zkiddWe just launched our new platform today (www.salesvote.com)-- we have a countdown timer and a deal. The last to share the deal before time runs out wins cash bounty. Every time the deal is shared, up until a specific cutoff time, seconds are added. No purchase necessary to share or win the money....

how long will it take to close it?
or will it ever be closed, for that matter
 
Should be flagged as spam and consequently deleted.
 
12:23 AM
done
 
I just absolutely murdered that delete button. That was brutal.
 
I think this is one of my favourite scenes from anything every in the history of forever:
 
If I hadn't had a connection freeze I'd've been all blasting that question instantly...
 
OK, my changes didn't break anything
 
@Wipqozn ROFL
 
12:25 AM
Now I need to write a quick script for a Yes/No vote to test if the changes to that fixed it or not.
 
that laugh indeed froze my blood
 
holy shit @ the gaming background :O
6
 
what
 
I love @Jin's 8bit theme but wow, this looks impressive
look at the main site
 
WOAH
When did that change
 
12:26 AM
THINGS JUST GOT REAL
 
I miss the 8-bit one :(
 
That was awesome laugh
 
The mothership does look a bit out of place now, though.
 
Wow, this brings me back.
Feb 24 at 12:03, by Mana
That's how we'll get sponsors. We'll run a script on the site that automatically replaces any usage of the word Space with Dead Space 2.
 
12:27 AM
It hasn't changed for me...
 
whoa!
 
If I open it in Firefox, it has changed
 
position:fixed would suit better, I would say
 
Fist of the North Star always takes everything to the absolute extreme.
 
@GnomeSlice I..wha...bu... walks away
 
12:28 AM
SHIT JUST GOT REAL
 
Ok whoa. The new background? Awesome
 
Is that one censored?
 
one thing, though: Ask a Question button is even more subtle now
 
It was everything before that that I simply don't have words for.
 
@Bora dreams of hover lasers and sighs wistfully
 
12:30 AM
I think the new design of the website should literally be just one giant Ask Question button.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I mean seriously, he could've at least given us a rollover highlight.
 
can't agree more
 
@Mana And one giant answer button.
 
user30
 
and one more giant "But make it count!" checkbox
 
12:31 AM
@ThomasMcDonald Oh it started!
 
user30
6 views.
 
@ThomasMcDonald How does that even work? Is it random?
Oh wait.
I just realized that it might be based on the number of site questions.
 
How do we have MW3 views without MW3 questions?

Q: Will playing Guitar Hero cast an insult to my art?

BoraI have been playing the classical guitar for a long time, and at the same time itching to try a Guitar Hero game. The question is, being a purist and almost fanatic about not mixing up guitar with anything else that sounds like a guitar, am I going to end up in endless shame and self-destruction...

 
/me says farewell to his dear question
 
12:32 AM
@Bora ;_;
 
@Bora Feel free to discuss here if you like!
 
Oh god what happened to the site
 
If it makes you feel any better, Guitar Hero and Rock Band are what made me start taking electric bass lessons :D
 
Honestly, playing Guitar Hero will probably get you some mockery, yeah.
 
I hate the world :( :)
 
12:34 AM
W-
 
@badp drunken slurring we threw some picturres in the... hic backgrown and not it's all like purdy nstuff.
 
What happened to the site.
It's like we're sponsored.
Wait. Are we sponsored?
 
How the heck do we advertise this on Reddit?
 
We're not sponsored.
 
@Mana With a link? Do it!
 
12:35 AM
We're just psyched for an event, is all
 
@GraceNote We're giving two games a lot of free advertising then.
 
Which you can help promote by telling all your friends, net and physical, about us. ♪
 
@John I... am aware.
 
@ArdaXi Then why'd you ask?
 
12:36 AM
Not that the two games need advertising.
@John I knew about skyrimvsmw3.com
 
Was gonna say
 
I did not know Gaming.SE would be skyrimvsmw3.com
 
Skyrim could use a bit more advertising, I must admit.
 
@ArdaXi Hm, we should ask them for free games or something for all the advertising then.
 
12:36 AM
@John I need a title man. "Ask and answer questions about Skyrim and MW3 for a chance to win some sweet loot"?
 
It's not like they're not already gonna sell millions of copies
 
although I am on the dark side on this one
 
@ArdaXi Me neither, but it fits.
@Mana Yes.
If I had a Reddit account, I would totally go upvote that.
 
@Mana A bit mundane.
"Ask and answer questions" seems vague.
 
@Mana We probably need to promote it too tho, maaaaan.
 
12:38 AM
"HEY REDDIT! Love Skyrim and/or MW3? Wanna win some awesome prizes? Uh...ask and answer questions fuck I'm awful at this"
4
 
user30
someone hurry up and post it so I can upvote before I go to bed
 
"Skyrim or MW3? Prove it once and for all, and win awesome prizes!"
 
@Bora I was trying to figure out how you're a 6k user and I've not really seen your name before. You apparently are awesomely stealthy and have most of your rep in games in my ignored tags!
 
"We're trying to build the definitive questions and answers site for games and gamers and we need YOUR help! Help us cover Skyrim and MW3 and win games!"
 
Post ALL the things!
 
12:40 AM
@FallenAngelEyes yes that must be it
 
@badp It's not swag though.
 
@Bora 'tis. I have all of CoD, The Witcher 2, and StarCraft 2 in my ignored tags
 
I don't have any ignored tags because they ALL have new users posting answers in need of editing.
 
So you play Minecraft and Angry Birds the whole time?
 
@John That's /review for you
 
12:42 AM
@John So, in other words, you're a better person than @FallenAngelEyes?
 
@badp I like it. "Hey Reddit! We want to build the definitive Q&A website for gamers and we need YOUR help! Help us cover Skyrim and MW3 for a chance to win some seriously sick loot!"
 
Petition to update the Site Design away from the heart and pixels towards something more like the Skyrim vs. MW3 graphics!
 
Seriously, someone go post it to reddit.
 
@Bora Angry Birds would be tough, as I do not own a smartphone!
 
12:42 AM
@badp I just spent some time there, but had to stop so I didn't flood the front page. :P
 
@FallenAngelEyes you could still play it on Chrome, you know.
 
@Wipqozn Yes. And you too. :P
 
Well if this thing works we'll WANT to keep a super close eye here
 
@Bora If I found it at all compelling, I would :)
 
@RavenDreamer anti-signs I prefer the 8-bit design
 
12:43 AM
@FallenAngelEyes chrome.angrybirds.com
 
@Wipqozn I deny your anti-signing!
 
Anyone?
 
I don't play much Minecraft, as I'm more of an explorer than builder, though adventure mode is fun
 
@badp I will be sure to. These stats are really motivating! :D
 
Who here is a Redditor in the first place?
 
12:43 AM
I'm more of an MMOer m'self
 
user30
me.
 
I have a reddit account... that's about as far as I go.
 
@GraceNote raises hand
 
@GraceNote sorta
 
I am! But not an avid one, so my username wouldn't be super-recognized.
 
I have a single submission in /minecraft
 
@FallenAngelEyes which I ignore mostly :/
 
user30
submit it again
 
@badp That title...
 
user30
it's too old to gain any traction
 
12:44 AM
although... yeah.
 
@Bora I like Action RPGs too and lots of co-op stuff
 
Yeah, submit it again.
 
I thought Reddit frowned on self-promotion... so maybe it shouldn't be a moderator who does it.
 
user30
it'll be fine
 
I think everyone's waiting for someone else to do it.
 
12:45 AM
Hey, @ArdaXi! You'd make a terrible mod, right?
 
Co-op like Modern Warfare Spec-Ops?
 
user30
all hail the upvote brigade!
 
I'm on it
 
@Bora I dunno, I've never played that so I can't compare
 
I'm not familiar with how resubmissions work on Reddit
 
12:45 AM
I'm making a text post so that people won't say "OMG YOU'RE DOING IT FOR KAMA DOWNVOTE"
 
@RavenDreamer I don't have the best of reputations on Reddit.
 
user30
@badp don't do that
 
user30
otherwise nobody will click through
 
@ThomasMcDonald why
 
user30
because redditors are lazy
 
12:47 AM
@badp What title are you going with?
@RavenDreamer OH GOD ACT 6 STARTS IN FOUR DAYS
 
user30
even r/gaming is sponsored by MW3, which is funny, cause their logo is still the BF3 reddit guy
 
someone just link the reddit post whenever it's done and I'll upvote it >>
 
Let's try to get as much traction going as possible. Posts with higher upvote counts will manage to get more attention. If we could get 15 people to upvote it right now we might have a chance.
(I know jack about how reddit minds actually work)
 
If we get lots of upvotes right as it's submitted, it will likely garner more.
 
Okay.
 
12:51 AM
@Mana There. I made an account just to up vote that. I am now a hero.
 
All I know is Reddit is a hivemind.
#things I hear
 
@GnomeSlice Make a Reddit account.
 
@Wipqozn @badp hasn't resubmitted it yet.
 
@RavenDreamer Yes. A very volatile hivemind.
 
bah, queue for DCUO now
 
12:51 AM
just post it when you post it
 
@FallenAngelEyes I've been wanting to check that out, now that it's free to play!
 
@FallenAngelEyes Oh, yeah.
 
@Wipqozn You're going to put Captain Obvious out of a job at that rate! ;)
 
Why did my client just download a TF2 update? I don't recall seeing a TF2 update message in my email.
 
@FallenAngelEyes My friend was stuck in a 2800 queue the other day. Well, not stuck, since he just said "fuck it" and didn't bother waiting.
 
user30
12:52 AM
hm
 
@RavenDreamer If the sound of "You are queued at position #50000 in line for the server" sounds good to you...
 
@RavenDreamer Damn straight.
 
Pros: It's gorgeous. The voice acting is great.
 
And, there it is.

12:52 AM
@Wipqozn I was just in a 3300 queue but it goes really fast
 
An optional update for Team Fortress 2 is now available. The specific changes include:

- Ended the Halloween sale/event
- Fixed a client crash in the replay editor
- Fixed a client crash in the fullscreen store preview
- Updated the localization files
 
@FallenAngelEyes Cons: everything else.
 
@Wipqozn Was about 10 minutes
 
@Powerlord Ending the Halloween sale is optional?
 
@Wipqozn Cons: Not enough content, the death of any MMO
the gameplay is really fun so far
voice acting is far far superior to Champions
(not like that's hard but still)
 
12:54 AM
No voice acting is why I couldn't get into Dragon Age Origins
Commander Shepperd may have spoiled me, though.
 
@RavenDreamer Really? That's a shame. :(
I was used to it from NWN, so it didn't bother me
 
@FallenAngelEyes I made it to Lothering! At least 3 separate times.
 
That's all? D:
 
Then I found out the game is buggy as all get out, and I should probably patch the game to fix stuff.
I still have "Elven Boots fix .7zp" sitting in my downloads folder.
 
It really bugs me that they rushed out II rather than fixing a bunch of serious bugs
like the Silverite Mines bug in Awakening, arrrrrrgh
 
12:55 AM
So... it's not gonna be submitted tonight?
 
lost a lot of gameplay to that because I had to reload >_<
 
@ArdaXi apparently not
 
Then I'm going to go to sleep.
 
@Raven if you really wanna check out DCUO, wait a couple weeks, as they're having a lot of server trouble atm and the queues are long because of the F2P rush
give me a poke if you roll on US PvE villainside
I'll probably eventually roll a hero too, but I'm doing villainside first
 
@FallenAngelEyes Playing on US Servers? Damn, FAE, you're a girl after my own heart. ;)
 
12:58 AM
@RavenDreamer It's where all my friends are, I have to!
 
FLIRTING ALERT.

@FallenAngelEyes Well then your friends are all after my own heart also. Luckily, there's more than enough Raven to go around.
 
@RavenDreamer Weird, I thought I responded to this but apparently not. Anyway, it's a client-only change, presumably to update the Mann Co. display.
 
@ArdaXi Looks like it! And I'd start going on in a ridiculous (and perchance contextually inappropriate) evil laugh right now but I have absolutely no idea how to transcribe this thing.
 
12:59 AM
@badp you looking for feedback?
 
@RavenDreamer yes
 
###[Wait DID SOMEONE SAY FREE STUFF?]
 
Aug 15 at 11:24, by Grace Note
Gwagwagwagwagwagwa!
 
Corrected
 
@ArdaXi That's not a ridiculous evil laugh. That's just Bubble Man.
 
1:01 AM
It's "that weird laughing thing Grace does these days" -- Mana
 
@GraceNote I could have sworn you said it was something entirely different last time.
 
I did it, like, thrice
 
SIGH Of course I can't launch TF2, I'm only trying to fscking test plugins, so it's not important to launch it rather than just tell me the game is unavailable!!!!!!!!@!111111
 
Aug 15 at 11:26, by Grace Note
A terribly awkward laugh, but letters can't do the "Dwarf Laugh" justice so I had to go with a different laugh instead.
 
@Mana Are you confusing it for the traumatizing dwarven laugh that I likewise can't transcribe but more because it's just impossible to do that justice (rather than this, where I'm not sure half the sounds have letter equivalents)
 
1:02 AM
@badp Tone down the penultimate paragraph.
 
@GraceNote Oh, yup.

@GraceNote Traumatizing dwarven face:
 
Even better, I'm trying to connect to a passworded server and it prompts me for the password every time I try to launch TF2.

Q: What happened to my face?

Raven DreamerI bought Dragon Age: Origins -- Ultimate Edition, and got it installed on my computer. Registered the game, registered the DLC it comes with, and go to create a new character. Male humans apparently lack a model at all (they are just floating hair and a set of mysteriously floating clothes) and ...

 
1:02 AM
As you can see I toned it down by splitting it in two!
 
@badp Will you add commas at least?
 
I feel a desire to read through Death Note again.
 
@RavenDreamer Oooh yeah, forgot about that
 
@RavenDreamer Much more traumatizing
 
@badp megathread COMMA ; meantime COMMA; changed COMMA; how COMMA
 
1:04 AM
@RavenDreamer but commas will not make it sound like frustration!
 
@badp Frustrated people use commas too!
Commas are an equal-opportunity punctuation mark!
 
bah.
besides, you don't put commas by an 'and'
 
@badp You can.
They are just considered optional.
 
You can also make typos.
 
@badp You do if you're connecting two independent clauses because it's a coordinating conjunction
 
1:05 AM
@badp English isn't your face language, remember?
 
or you're a fan of the Oxford comma!
 
(unless it is, in which case please disregard!)
 
@RavenDreamer , and?
 
@badp Okay, here's an example for you.
 
good evening @SimonSheehan
 
1:06 AM
"I ate apples, bannanas, and cherries for lunch."
vs.
 
@Wipqozn evening! sorry i cant chat much... tons of homework to do!
 
"I ate pasta and bread for dinner"
 
@SimonSheehan I have a lot of that too, but instead I've been distracted by this chat all night.
 
There is nothing wrong with using commas before and in a list of 3 or more.
 
1:07 AM
anyway, g'night all
 
@Wipqozn Chat's a killer :P
 
@FallenAngelEyes Sweet dreams.
 
Someone pin the reddit post if it gets posted tonight!
 
Wait a minute. I haven't asked you about your lesbian cartoon porn, yet!
 
1:08 AM
the nurse looks unhappy to be vaccinating the african
 
Maybe I can ask @GnomeSlice instead.
@GnomeSlice! Explain your starred comment.
 
my microbiology book is so bad
 
Please?
Okay. I have work to do and stories to write.
Gotta go.

@badp Sounds good, but do we have enough people here to upvote it atm?
 
1:20 AM
<sarcasm>I like how our main page finally looks like a real gaming site </sarcasm>
 
Perhaps we'll want to get some actual mw3 content in the meantime
 
@NickT Not a fan of the new theme?
 
To be honest to do this properly we'd need a reddit promotion, although those are easily hidden.
But at least they're shown to people.
 
@Mana no, it's like a real gaming site now
I hope we're getting money for that shit though
HUGE GODDAMN AD
WOOO
 
To do this properly we need a lot of promotion on a lot of places. So if you frequent any other gaming communities, please, feel free to spread the word. I know some people do.
 
1:24 AM
What do you think of the blurb I posted above @GraceNote? tldr?
 
@badp I don't know Reddit culture enough to know the reception
 
Yeah. I'm kind of a newbie too, it's risky though.
 
@GraceNote No one knows the Reddit culture enough to know the reception, honestly.
 
lets all make accounts and spam that shit
 
I had the same concern of Raven about how the old version's last paragraph came out, but I don't think I have the concern as much now
 
1:26 AM
@NickT Please don't
@ThomasMcDonald says that I'm doing it wrong because I'm making it a text post and not a simple link to click through
 
It's the most random thing. The only way you can seem to game it is by posting rage comics and image macros.
 
but I'm not even sure what I should link to
 
I'd link to skyrimvsmw3.com
 
I'd link to skyrimvsmw3.com/prizes
The home page is more like a dashboard for people who understand what's going on
 
There's a How & Why section, then, perhaps
 
1:27 AM
but not a good place to introduce people to the whole thing
It's not as catchy as the prizes though?
 
post: "WIN A FREE CONSOLE! <link>"
 
At any rate I'd hold off till a busier time when we have at least a bit more content on the show and a few more people to give the first few votes to counter the inevitable downvotes.
Now I really should've gone to bed one hour ago.
Nite.
Gah, reddit promotion should've been done two days ago.
 
Olaf is finally free tomorrow. Wow. That took forever.

zergylordSo some background: I play League of Legends (LoL) religiously and have a strong background in A.I. programming.
