@RonanForman what game?
 
@agent86 TF2
They appear just to be reskined metal
 
@RonanForman The point is to get an achievement. :P
Also, I'm finding it difficult to get 7 of the achievements on Foundry. I know I don't need another hat, but I want it anyway. >:|
 
@Powerlord wanting hats leads to the dark side
soon you'll be gloating over your enemies and shooting lightning out of your fingertips
 
@agent86 Yes, I saw your meta post.
@agent86 Guess what class I'm playing in SWTOR! :D
 
@Powerlord oh, this wasn't in reference to that. I was just trying to be silly
@Powerlord apologies though if you were among the offended. I apparently ask really bad questions about games I'm interested in but not playing.
 
6:15 PM
@Powerlord Spy?
 
@Powerlord: Do you know of any good servers for Team Fortress 2?
 
@Wipqozn Anything but OCR
 
I'm getting tired of playing Valve servers, and having over half the team be spies and snipers.
 
@Wipqozn good servers are generally those with many players and low ping. I tend to pick at random, personally. you'll get a few misses, but eventually some good hits.
if you find one that has good people on it frequently, favorite it.
 
@Wipqozn where do you live?
just, geographically speaking
Canada, right?
 
user30
6:17 PM
@Ronan 7 right?
 
@Powerlord They're difficult indeed
 
@RavenDreamer Yes.
 
@Wipqozn Hm. I would suggest @DaveMcClelland's server, but that's in Georgia, so you might not get good ping.
 
@RavenDreamer IP address?
 
@Wipqozn blu.ocrtf2.com and red.ocrtf2.com. Also Reddit Midwest Chicago 216.52.143.59:27015
 
6:18 PM
@RavenDreamer if it's below 200 it's good ping
 
On an unrelated note, Skype needs to go die in a fire.
 
@Powerlord I have your OCR ones, but you keep moving them it seems, so I keep needing to refavourite
 
Ever since they started showing the Progressive ad on the Skype home page, Skype crashes constantly
 
@badp I generally need about 100, minimum.

Q: What is "Thief Looting?"

agent86One of the achievements in Assassins Creed: Revelations is to loot 50 dead guards with "thief looting." I tried hiring some thieves and killing a few guards, but the thieves just kind of stood there and looked at me. Looting the dead guards didn't really seem to faze them or do anything differe...

Q: Why can't I murder this drunk guy and why is he a target?

agent86While exploring the Constantine district, north of the Romani HQ, but south of the blacksmith's shop I found a small courtyard with a well wherein a drunk man is... well, being drunk. Every time I approach this courtyard, there he is, being drunk. The problem is he's got a red target on top of ...

 
6:19 PM
@Wipqozn I can't get it, currently. I don't think.
No steam on this comp.
 
@ThomasMcDonald Yeah 40 minutes from now.
 
user30
hmm okay.
 
user30
I should be about then.
 
user30
Also I need to try and change my skin
 
user30
New experiences wooo
 
6:21 PM
I ought to change my skin too.
@MarcoCeppi Is the server up yet?
 
Soo... we shall soon start testing up for GameOn!
 
@Fredy31 No server yet.
 
@Wipqozn Yes, and that's why the old locations show the new IPs.
 
user30
I shall go and eat.
 
@Powerlord I know, just annoying. Seems like this is the third time I've done this.
 
6:22 PM
Also, if Valve would add DNS-based favorites, this problem would go away. :/
 
Anyone here know an XML in XNA tutorial they could point me at?
 
I,ll just testup recording and stuff
 
Anyways, I'm going to play Killing FLoor, brb
thanks for the suggestions @RavenDreamer @agent86 @Powerlord
 
@Wipqozn You wont be get to play for long though.
 
any recommendations for good vg music?
 
6:23 PM
@RonanForman mhm
only one round
 
Why cant I login to Mumble?
 
@Pubby Banjo kazzoie/tooie, cave story
Rock band.
 
What are best tracks from meat boy?
Already picked through Banjo/cave story. Great stuff
 
@Pubby Loads.
Are you into chiptune?
 
6:26 PM
I like chiptune
well, good chiptune
 
I'm at 3 upvotes from having My first k in!
 
@Pubby You should check out this youtube playlist I've been making for a while now.
@Pubby Also, the 'impostor nostalgia' album by Big Giant Circles is excellent.
And you can never go wrong with the Buck Bumble Theme.
 
Disaster! I can't log into minecraft.net!
 
By the way, what's today's Game?
 
@GnomeSlice Minecraft.
 
6:28 PM
@GnomeSlice Cool playlist, gonna listen to it.
 
@Pubby Oh goodness, I'm awful at picking favorites. I like most of them.
 
Will hats stay after the Hat dash is over?
 
> Login servers seem to be having some issues!
Great timing.
@Fredy31 No.
 
@Fredy31 No.
 
@Fredy31 No.
 
6:30 PM
Would have been cool
 
@Fredy31 No.
 
@Fredy31 Yes.
 
but it would make Gaming.SE TF2
 
I still can't get over how good this is.
 
6:31 PM
@Fredy31 NOOOOOOOO
 
Arrggg!!!1
 
@Fredy31 What's the problem there?
 
But if Hat dash comes back one day, will our current hats be kept?
 
This is horrible!
 
@Fredy31 All I know is my gut says maybe.
 
6:32 PM
WHy now!
 
@ArdaXi I know that what means. Beige alert.
 
@Fredy31 No.
 
breaks down crying
 
@Fredy31 No.
@GnomeSlice No.
@RonanForman NO.

@badp Help me.
 
@RonanForman Exam in 9 hours! Need to revise! eat! shower! can't.
 
Well something has gone wrong and it's catastrophic!
 
hello everyone
 
@spugsley 'Afternoon
 
Anyone late joiners for GameOn later today?
 
6:35 PM
@spugsley Hallo.
 
What time does Game on start, anyway?
 
@Fredy31 I can't change my skin, can you?
 
Oh, is today Capture the Wool?
 
Yes sir
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, it's in 25 minutes.
 
6:36 PM
@Fredy31 What game is it?
 
I shall go put on my blue link outfit
 
@RonanForman Oh. Oh well.
When you need the screen done by?
 
@RonanForman The minecraft site is slow as hell tho
 
@GnomeSlice Tuesday would be nice, but not necessary.
 
@RonanForman Should be okay.
I think it's going to be pretty good. Do you have any text effects or fonts you'd like on it?
 
6:38 PM
I can change skins
 
Minecraft doesn't believe I exist.
@MarcoCeppi Helllllooooo....
He doesn't appear to be here, anyone have a server we can use?
And his mumble server has gone down too, great.
This failure is worse than last time.
 
Heh.

Q: Is there any way to control which vehicles I get?

Ashley NunnIn Jetpack Joyride, there are a few in-game missions that require you to have a specific vehicle.

Does anyone have a mumble server we can borrow?
 
@GnomeSlice No old stuff?
 
6:46 PM
@RonanForman We can use my clan's, if necessary
 
@Pubby What, like chiptune?
@Pubby The VVVVVV soundtrack (PPPPPP) is amazing.

@DaveMcClelland Yay, not everything's going wrong!
 
@RonanForman Let me change the password on it, though... it's a bit too obscene at the moment
:)
That'll just take a minute, so we'll be fine to start on time
 
@GnomeSlice I mean is it all new chiptunes?
 
@DaveMcClelland Ha.
 
6:47 PM
When @ThomasMcDonald gets back we'll try and steal his server,
 
@Pubby Define 'new chiptunes'.
OH that reminds me, I know someone you'll love.
 
@RavenDreamer It's not as bad as the scrim server password though, thank god
 
@DaveMcClelland IP?
 
@DaveMcClelland Yeah, that's what I was remembering. :P
 
@RonanForman mumble.stnoclan.com
 
6:49 PM
@Pubby Check out Timbral. Go to material > audio.
 
Okay, weird, my star on Gnomeslice's comment is inverted.
 
Seriously, he's great. Nothing from him in a long time though. =[
@RavenDreamer That's never happened to you before?
That happens to me all the time.
 
@Lazers , you left us too soon.

It's black w hen I've starred it, and yellow when I've not.
 
I've got plans to bring back .
 
6:49 PM
@DaveMcClelland Pass?
 
Dave, that Server has a password
 
@RonanForman I'm changing it at the moment
I know... i'm changing it to something not obscene
 
@GnomeSlice new chiptunes as in made in the past 20 years. I'll check out Timbral
 
@Pubby Does that really matter?
 
@GnomeSlice He'll have to post it here, so sort of.
 
6:51 PM
@RonanForman ...Did you even look at what I was replying to?
 
Woo! I have a level importer!
 
okay
mumble.stnoclan.com pw:stno
 
@GnomeSlice Nope, I never do, normally it turns out okay.
 
I guess I can't play, since you're doing CtW huh...
 
@GnomeSlice Not really, although wasn't sure what types of tracks you were interested in.
 
6:53 PM
@Pubby Depends.
That's a good indication, probably.

Mag RoaderOne of the (excellent) videos for Star Wars: The Old Republic showcases a character wielding 2 lightsabers... and one of those is itself a double-bladed lightsaber, allowing for a particularly crazy-looking fighting situation with 3 blades. Is it possible to do this in the game? More to the poin...

 
How do you wear a dradle as a hat
 
7:10 PM
@NickT Very carefully?
 
Does it spin?
@RavenDreamer figure I could ask in Meta what TOR server other GSE people are on?
not sure if it'd be better or worse from a QA standpoint to know other people
 
@NickT Hm.
 
I figure relevant at the very least
 
Maybe post in the Gaming Grant thread as an answer
Saying "I've got TOR, and I'm on server L"
 
Seems like it'd be buried
convert meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/a/3377/2259 to CW and add a list there?
 
7:13 PM
Yeah. I'll go toggle it CW
Done.
Knock yourself out.
 
Matt reid is talking about a "GamingSE" guild though...which would deerve it's own question
 
I mean, I figure it's at least as on topic as the GameOn stuff that gets posted to meta.
I think you may as well just make your own topic
 
True...plenty of questions here aynways
 
You can even title it: "Game ON" if ya want, I bet.
Except it would be "ongoing" instead of one instance. :P
 
@GnomeSlice Weren't you the one who complained about scantily-clad chicks in the 3 second TAS intros?
 
7:17 PM
@badp It wasn't a complaint, it was an observation. Also, I don't like people who are obsessed with anime porn.
 
I see, you like it with less filters =)
 
@GnomeSlice For the record, what about people obsessed with regular porn?
 
I like what with less filters?
 
Though I'd hazard that "porn" is the wrong term to begin with.
 
@RavenDreamer That's a little less hateful.
 
7:18 PM
that gonna fly? guess there's one way to find out
 
flagged as "offensive", there, u happy?
MERRY CHRISTMAS
 
\o/
 
Only because 50% of it said "ballsacks", not because it's 50% gibberish
 
@AnnaLear Has SOPA been passed? I see you've got the axe and all that's left is your human, and they've put some kind of piracy warning on top.
 
7:24 PM
I'm getting to the point where I'm going to start downvoting every post by @agent86 I see.
 
@badp SOPA is held up in committee at the moment.
@GnomeSlice why?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz So it's basically being discussed by a bunch of 70yo's with no clue about this internet thing and a bunch of fliers.
 
@badp And it's vote is scheduled for 3 days from now.
 
@badp Yes.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Because.
 
7:28 PM
@Ullallulloo That's not the final vote for passage.
 
@badp Most Americans are (should be) more worried about the NDAA than SOPA for the moment

Q: s.tk/gaming does: The Old Republic

Nick TSome have thrown around the idea of a GamingSE guild, or others have their own, so at the very least to begin, who's where (what server) and for something more protracted, who has plans to do what? I'm not sure if it would be better or worse from a QA-feeding point of view to be on a server with...

 
@NickT Aha! It's the classic bait and switch!
Threaten people from the front and fuck them in the back.
Those good ole tactics always work.
Good luck.
 
@badp ...Ew...
 
7:31 PM
To be fair however
 
For those that don't understand how the US congress works, bills start out being considered by a committee. That's where SOPA is now. Committee debate is largely worthless and mostly wastes a whole lot of time while a few congress critters get to grandstand. If the committee passes the bill, than the entire chamber votes on it. In the case of SOPA, the bill is coming from the House, which means that the House would have to vote on it and pass it.
 
I don't plan on acquiring US citizenship for the next few years
whereas I might want to be using this internet thingadongdong
 
@GnomeSlice :( I'm sorry
 
@NickT Oh, that's...fun.
 
I was kidding...
 
7:33 PM
@agent86 You should be.
 
Given how dysfunctional the house is, this part can take quite a while. Once it does pass however, the bill still isn't law, because the same bill must also go through this same process (Committee grandstanding->vote->full chamber grandstanding->vote) to pass in the Senate. The thing about the Senate though, is that it takes a supermajority (60% of members) to call for a vote, or, to put another way, to get the guy who doesn't like the bill who currently has the floor to shut the fuck up.
This process of halting progress is known as The Fillibuster, and overcoming it is difficult, and I don't know that SOPA can do so given the outpouring of opposition.
Once that happens, if the bill has received any significant amendments on either side of the process, then the changed versions need to be reconciled by a joint committee and then those need to be voted on.
And then the President has to sign it to boot.
So, while SOPA is bad, and people should be concerned... there's time. A whole heck of a lot of time.
 
@Ullallulloo cries
 
Anyway, @NickT, thanks for giving me an extra reason for starting any life plans of mine involving the US of A at -200 instead of -100 points.
 
NDAA, by contrast, is on the presidents desk.
 
Last week's Economist had an excellent special report in it: All the World's a Game
 
7:36 PM
@GnomeSlice, @Ullallulloo, you guys know you can help tank my rep, right? Go find questions with underrated answers and post them over on the holiday bounty thread on meta. it's like stealing my reps right out from under me
every upvote on an answer in that thread is like taking 10 points of my rep away
 
Why would we want to keep you from getting rep...
 
whereas a downvote only gives me -2 :D
I'm being sarcastic/silly
while simultaneously pimping a project I have going on
 
Also an article on E-sports, Gentlemen, start your computers
 
@GnomeSlice Why would you want to downvote all of agent's posts?
 
@badp I was joking...
 
7:37 PM
that's what they all say
oh ho! The mod tools tell me that you haven't downvoted agent, but you have downvoted me!
HOW DARE YOU!
bans until 2015
 
if I make a shitty post, I don't care if people downvote it. it's one form of feedback, although I'd more appreciate comments/edits/chat messages.
 
(oh wait, that's votes received, not cast. Oh well. Too little too late.)

  Hats! Hats! Hats! Hats!

Everything hats! All hats! Only Hats!

@StrixVaria He has one
 
The description of the unicorn hug hat made it sound like you had to get 10 chat messages starred.
That seems steep compared to the lax requirements of the other hats.
 
Unicorn hug and philosoraptor don't go very well together
@StrixVaria Nope, it's 10 messages, one of which is starred
 
Oh ok.
