@LessPop Thirteen Senses -- Crystal Sounds
 
It's back!
and chat was so lovely being dead. Peaceful.
 
What is?
Oh
I am truly a source of life.
 
You broke the peace.
 
shush you
 
I demand you replace it!
It's not in season, so it's going to be real expensive.
 
12:27 AM
Since we can't afford peace we'll continue with the jokes.
 
Yeah I'm gonna leave.
 
CCCCCCCOMBO BROKEN.
It's not the combo you're thinking about.
It's another, much longer combo.
 
12:48 AM
I didn't notice.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Truly a challenging game.

Q: What is an active Indie iOS development community?

Sam EllisI've just gotten into iOS development, and would love to develop some games, but need inspiration/support, all that stuff a great community gives you. Does anyone know of a community to get involved with?

Q: Games offering similar play to Quake 3: Team Arena that will run on Win7 64 bit?

ShaderachI just tried to install my old copy of Q3:TA on my new Win7 64 bit machine and was mercilessly denied by Windows itself. Wouldn't even let me try! Anyways, what else out there can offer Quake-like gameplay on a 64 bit box?

Q: Who is the final boss of Street Fighter IV?

StrixVariaI'm trying to sign up for the Shoryuken forums to discuss Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and the registration page asks me who the final boss of Street Fighter IV is to prove I'm not a computer. I've never played that game, so I don't know the answer.

Q: Suggestion: Carry over (some) reputation between StackExchange sites

David MillsToday I ran across another fine StackExchange site, security.stackexchange.com, that I had never visited before. The question I viewed was interesting, and the most highly voted answer was insightful; but the answer also contained a false statement. I was, sadly, unable to comment on the answer a...

@badp Good thing I refrained from my usual quick response with 0 thought.

2:11 AM
I've just discovered lists on Twitter.
I think I'm gonna make some.
Also:

2:30 AM
If I create a decent Twitter List for Gaming, will you guys support it?
 
How does one 'support' a Twitter List?
 
You can follow it, and get your followers to follow it.
There aren't really any decent ones already out there.
One question though:
Do you think that covering "the world, business, and subculture of Video Gaming on all platforms", is too broad?
I was originally intending to put indiegames and flash developers in there as well
Think maybe I should focus in one list more on things like licensed game previews, reviews, release dates, and industry info maybe?
Maybe have one list for (console) industry info, one list for subculture, that sort of thing?
I mean it's apt to get cluttered very quickly if I include sources from all of these, no?
@LessPop @badp @Mana @Anyone?

2:51 AM
Chatkill. Dammit.
 
Those who voted to close or otherwise pushed for the closing of the Civ 5 spy mod question, please defend that closing in the comments here.
Or, failing sufficient defense, vote to reopen.
 
@GraceNote Aren't those opposites?
 
@GnomeSlice I'm not sure why failure to defend a closing would be opposed to reversing your closing.
 
I'm confused.
By 'defend that closing' I assume you mean 'state why it was a good idea', correct?
 
Yes
 
3:00 AM
I'm must be (likely) interpreting this wrong, but it seems to me that you said something along the lines of, "Those who supported the closing, please support it 'here' and otherwise, unclose it"
 
Consequently, if you no longer believe that it was a good idea to close it, then voting to reopen is the traditional move.
 
And as I wrote that, it became clear. I was just missing the site policies behind it all. :P
 
You were missing the "OR", as you have substituted an "AND"
 
And being to conjoin your thoughts.
I got it, don't worry. I just had a brain malfunction and wondered why under any circumstance a closed question would be reopened.
The nerve.
 
Reopening is a very common process for closing. The ideal scenario is that closed questions get reopened, because that typically means the exposure of a better question.
Closures which lead to deletion mean we got low quality or off-topic questions. Even removed, it's preferable that we do not get low quality or off-topic questions. So, that's why the preferable scenario is that we get reopen-worthy questions. Because that indicates better question quality and on-topicness overall.
 
3:05 AM
@GraceNote I don't mean to sound ungrateful or disrespectful (and please don't take it like that!), but I'm aware of all of that already, I just had a momentary (but common) lapse in faculties.
I don't want you or anyone else thinking I don't get it around here. ;)
 
I'm not even sure how that sentence could be interpreted as ungrateful or disrespectful to me
 
@GraceNote "Yeah, yeah, I get it, I'm not a moron, shut up!".
In less-nice tones.
 
@GnomeSlice That's a very far stretch from what you said, though.
 
@GraceNote That's because I'm great at Internet tact.
 
Ahha
 
3:12 AM
As evidenced by my cleverly masked ungratefulness and disrespectfulness 7 minutes ago.
Wow, Twitter list descriptions can only be 100 characters?
 
I'm assuming, then, that I came off as putting you down, of a sort?
 
@GraceNote No, not at all. I just don't want anyone getting the idea around here than I don't know what's going on most of the time.
The fact that I don't is beside the point.
 
This is getting a bit much for this late at night. I think I'll take my leave of the night. I've eventually got to start thinking about @Mana, as it'd be unfair if I stuck to just working on @Arda.
 
Heh.

Q: Why can't I sometimes spawn on teammates?

@Brant If it makes you feel better I have 9k rep on Gaming, 9k rep on MSO and 2k rep on SO
although I'm 80th percentile for Python, and that's not too bad.
 
Top 40% is 60th percentile, right?
 
yep.
@YiJiang Hey, can I hear your opinion on this site? wii.cngba.com
@YiJiang is it legit? is it spam?
 
@badp What do you want to know about it?

A: Where can I download old Wii demos?

yu yutry it's website. http://wii.cngba.com/

 
It's not spam (as far as I can tell), but I can't vouch for it's relevance/legality
 
9:28 AM
alright, so at worst it doesn't contain demos
 
@badp I can poke around, but I don't own a wii
The site (the whole thing, from the flash slideshow to the wall of text to JavaScript redirection) is pretty horrible, but typical of Chinese web design
 
It's not official at any rate, is it?
 
Anyway, I still don't believe it's a good answer even if it's not spam
It's not the right language, it's not exact (dumping you onto a website with a wall of text doesn't help really) enough and there's not enough info
 
Well, I was wondering whether or not I should delete it
I guess the answer is no
downvoting is a different matter
 
I would if it were up to me, but meh...
If you're not going to delete it, then leave a comment explaining how unhelpful the answer is
 
9:34 AM
Are the Chinese sensitive about Singapore?
 
@badp Most of them are dimly aware that the country exists, but that's about it
 
fair nuff
> ...does this site actually contain old demos? It's a wall of text not even our resident Singaporean can really navigate. – badp♦ 0 secs ago
 
@badp Oh I can make sense of it alright, I'm just confused about it's relevance to the question
 
Better?
 
> This is getting a bit much for this late at night. I think I'll take my leave of the night. I've eventually got to start thinking about @Mana, as it'd be unfair if I stuck to just working on @Arda.
@Grace huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh?
 
9:37 AM
Working... on me? Huuuuuuuuuuuuuu?
 
I'm just kinda glad I already did myself
 
Uh, my stance is that it's an incomplete answer, and that what might be legal (or even illegal, the internet in Chinese is a wild wild west) in China probably won't be everywhere else
It's also the wrong language, but that might not be entirely relevant here
 
Would you mind commenting so, @YiJiang?
Oh, and thank you so much for your help.
In other news, we have our second Trusted Userâ„¢! Congrats, @Raven.
 
Yay Raven!
 
@Mana That is good news, though.
 
9:51 AM
Hm?
 
@badp Sure thing
 
@Mana Less attention to me, more to you.
See how you like being a mermaid.
 
@Arda But this is Gaming SE -- The Dating Sim
I want the girls to pay attention to me, that's the whole point
 
I don't. Take my place.
 
Okay fine, you've been replaced, Arda-kun. I guess being transformed into a female mermaid wasn't the best scenario to be placed in but I wouldn't be complaining.
 
9:55 AM
It's worse when they expect tsundere
I'm all about the tsun, yo.
 
you could have waited until the endgame to reveal the dere though
 
There is no dere.
 
again, spoken like a true tsundere
 
I'm not dere! I had myself tested!
 
Hi! :)
 
10:03 AM
Yo.
 
@ArdaXi Not yet.
I don't think tsundere's would be actively faking :)
 
@badp The test also implies I am incapable of dere.
 
@ArdaXi Currently.
Change doesn't happen overnight.
 
Well, I can't dere by myself, anyway. ;-)
 
oy!
 
10:08 AM
@ArdaXi maybe Grace was looking for some dere action with you! :P

Q: What is Ultimate Team?

Benny HallettI've seen advertisements for Ultimate Team, but never got a good grasp of what it is. What does it actually add to the game? Additionally, I've seen it on the Playstation Store available for free. Is this correct, or does it have a cost?

 
gets smitten remotely by a dagger
 
@badp You know, my first instinct to say when she was interrogating me was "I'm fairly sure you're not my type anyway."
 
@badp @Arda stares
 
@Mana Why are you whatever that staring symbolises? We're talking about Grace now.
 
10:10 AM
Well uh. Uhm.
Woah, 100 000 messages?
That's a lot of messages.
 
@Bob Too S&A?
 
@YiJiang Nope. Ultimate Team is DLC content, he's asking what comes with that content
 
@Mana Not that question, can't you see the one I'm replying to?
 
Oh.
Yeah, I rarely click to see what people are replying to
hmm.
 
@YiJiang Not sure. I think it can be answered objectively, so long as it doesn't ask which is better.
Oh, it does.
 
10:20 AM
Not really
it asks which one is more in-depth
 
Still seems subjective.
 
I dunno. There's only two ways you can slice it; either one is more in-depth than the other or the opposite.
 
WHO EDITED MY POST?
Oh. Huh. I didn't know we had
 
If you provide a solid comparison between the two games, it shouldn't be that subjective to make the small leap to whichever one is more in-depth.
@Arda I'm pretty sure we didn't until just yesterday
at least I saw SteveV editing a bunch of posts to add that tag
 
He even had the audacity to edit my work!
Can you imagine!
 
10:24 AM
I'm not convinced about its utility but eh
 
10:34 AM
@ArdaXi could be very well
 
How so?
 
If it's after the plot, it's after the story stops being told
so you're just guessing what happens after that?
I don't have the time this second to check the questions with that tag
 
No. At least my question is about playing after the main plot.
And various DLCs count.
 
@badp It's all about playing after the main plot
 
@Mana you mean like "Game+"?
 
10:47 AM
Sort of.
Like...in Just Cause 2, after you complete all the main missions, the ending of the game plays, and then you're free to run around and get 100%.
Is that what you meant?
 
eh, but then what's to ask about?
 
@Mana That's New Game Plus, yeah.

Q: Can you continue playing after the main quest?

Arda XiI remember that in Fallout 3, when you finished the main quest, you could no longer keep playing, unless you had one of the DLCs. Is the same true for New Vegas? I might keep off finishing it until I did all the side quests first then.

 
@Arda Not New
 
That's one of the best, of course.
A New Game Plus (or "New Game+") is an unlockable video game mode that allows the player to start a new game after they finish the game at least once, where certain aspects of the finished game, such as experience or items, affect the newly started game. New Game Plus is also known as "Replay Mode", "Remorting" (ala MUDs), "Challenge Mode", or "New Game Ex". Origin The term was first coined by the 1995 role-playing game Chrono Trigger. This play mode is most often found in role-playing games, where starting a New Game Plus will usually have the player characters start the new game with the...
 
Yes, "start a new game"
 
10:49 AM
Ah. Then no, @badp, not Game+
 
we're talking about continuing your previous game from the end of the game
That's why I think badp didn't include the word "New"
 
There's no other phenomenon by the name of "Game+"
 
Does it have to be?
The term fits like a glove
 
@Mana Like a glove on a foot, yes.
 
and now that foot is kicking you for being silly
 
10:51 AM
Game+ implies that the game is finished, and a new game is started.
 
No, Game+ implies that THIS IS STUPID
I'm going to go think of a better way to resolve this Civ V Spy Mod mess
 
No, it implies YOU ARE STUPID
Ah. Good memories are attached to this question.

Q: Why doesn't Stack Exchange sites use HTML <meta> tags?

Dan AtkinsonA cursory look at the source for Stack Overflow sites shows that there aren't any pages on the site that uses the <meta> tag. Now, I'm aware that folks have opinions on the usefulness of meta tags and search engines, but there are definite uses for it (setting the charset to UTF-8, for exa...

 
There are no definite uses for a meta tag.
It should only be used to override headers (to change charset, for example) in the event that there is no access to the server.

A: Which team + formation in FIFA-2011 are best for under level 10

Benny HallettYou could give Real Madrid a go. Ronaldo is pretty over-powered, so throw him up front and score heaps of goals. Ok so that wasn't the most serious answer. The beauty of football is that it can be played a variety of ways, and any team can be successful on their day. Other things can influence t...
