"2nd generation Intel® Coreā„¢ Processor-based PCs" <-- Fun fact, Intel means upcoming i3/i5/i7 processors rather than Core 2 processors when they say this.
I think someone needs to remind Intel that Sandy Bridge processors are already 4th generation Core processors.
This is in response to Steam's announcement that they're going to enable a new (optional) security feature if you have one of the processors Intel is talking about.
joystiq.com/2011/03/03/… <-- Since Valve has yet to publish this on either Steam's website or the Valve Software website.

Q: Is the StackExchange Meta site now defunct?

Grant PalinI just went to the meta.stackexchange.com site, and it now redirects to meta.stackoverflow.com. Is the former site considered defunct? I'm aware it was the main meta site for the StackExchange 1.0 sites.

steamcommunity.com/stats/Portal/achievements - it has the "all bronze medals" achievement listed after all-silver in order of increasing rarity...
 
What's probably worse is that 80% of the people who have all bronze have been OCD enough to get all-gold too

Q: Is there an easier way to "combine" stuff in Everquest?

Mag RoaderThis question actually comes from my mother, an avid EQ player Is there a macro / addon / something to make combining items for tradeskills easier? By default, combining items requires clicking around a lot and putting things in the inventory. Is there anything available to ease the annoying bits?

So I uninstalled the other games and had to reinstall BFME. Now the game launches fine but after 5 minutes of pl...

Q: Was Titan A.E. officially linked to Freelancer?

johncI recently saw the movie Titan A.E., and whilst being a mildly enjoyable bit of cartoon escapism, what struck me immediately was, to a remarkable degree, the similarity to the game Freelancer. Was one an official tribute to, or tie in, of the other?

Allllllllright, so, do we want to adopt this guideline?

I have the impalpable fear that we might be raising the bar far too high for new users to be able to join us.
...well, except new users wouldn't come here to ask a googleable question
they'd come here because they googled in the first place.
 
2:13 PM
@badp that is one of my fears
particularly, the sheer amount of hype surrounding and volume of game rec questions makes me wonder if we made the right choice there
I think our site would have more users and many more questions-per-day if we allowed them, but they don't work with our system. Then again, I guess if we allowed anything we'd have a lot of users and many more questions-per-day; hardly a strong point then. Hm.
 
OTOH if we allowed anything, we'd be Yahoo Answers.
Thing is, we need to attract experts (? in gaming? progamers!), but experts need to start as new users like everybody else
...that and people insanely good with videogames, duh
 
> Proquest -- A gaming Q&A
or in my case
> Broquest -- maaaaaaaaaaaaaan life is chill
 
Why choose?
ProBro! -- maaaaaaaaaaaaan, a chill gaming Q&A
 
true
the bro-est of bros get the most BroPoints
be more bro to unlock more chill functionality, like ordering girls to make sandwiches while you answer questions on the si-- beaten up

2:24 PM
But seriously, I think we need a domain name. Being associated with the SE network is cool and all but most gamers aren't going to know what that is.
 
We need more traffic for that. Bad news, our traffic ain't growing. Not right now.
 
I knew it.
How long has our traffic been on decline for? Two months now?
 
No, not decline. I wouldn't call it that.
 
hmm, fair enough
I could have sworn it used to be higher though
 
Gah, I need a web equivalent of Gimp
 
2:27 PM
like weren't we at 18k views per day at one point? Now we're at 14k
 
I don't have much HDD space on this system
I want to draw you a specifics-less approximate graph of how we're really doing but I lack the tools right now
 
You just need a canvas to draw on, right?
canvaspaint.org is like MSPaint online
 
Well, the answer is clearly Bacon.
 
Let's see how much trouble I get for this.
The Jan/Feb graph is extremely jittery, but pointing kinda down.
 
@Bob Another awesome title.
 
2:37 PM
Don't assume proportions etc.
 
Quick, we must save Hillys from the Domz!
 
Also, I was too enthusiastic about the Dec spikes
wich brought Jan and Feb much higher than it should've been
oh well.
 
@badp It's flatlining! Bring in the paddles!
 
@Powerlord Actually it's shaking like never before; I had to hand smooth the curves.

Q: When is the last place you can save in Fallout New Vegas to get all endings?

GaryFI'm playing through Fallout New Vegas and I'm aware that there are 4 mutually exclusive endings. I would like to see them all and get all the achievements, but I don't want to play the entire game four times. Where is the latest point in the game that I can create a checkpoint save that I can go...

 
@Powerlord Some much needed servicing before standard warranty expires
I don't do quite enough of this.
 
and it takes 5+ weeks?
 
at longest.
"30 business days"
Since it's under the second year of warranty, I don't get to pick who can service it without voiding the warranty; it's the shop that sold me the laptop. They have all interests in making this painful; they're in the business of selling, not servicing. They'd much rater sell me a new laptop.
except, fuck that.

Q: When is the latest I can complete the Wild Card quests?

John RudyLet's say I'm working the various quests in New Vegas, and am currently in the early stages of both The House Always Wins and the Wild Card quests. What is the latest point in The House Always Wins that I can safely complete the Wild Card series, assuming I want to take control New Vegas? (Note...

I think this is a dupe, what do you think?
 
@ArdaXi Dupe of itself?
 
2:45 PM
@badp Mouseover it.
 
@ArdaXi question 17692 and question 17692
maybe you mispasted?
 
Fixed.
 
um, maybe he doesn't know that's the splitting point?
I don't think the asker has started playing at all, for fear that the splitting point in the endings may be very early.

looks at the clock
Bacon time! *duh nuh nuh nuh nuh, nuh nuh, nuh nuh"
 
@Powerlord 1607 is a silly time to have bacon at.
 
@badp Too bad not all of subscribe to your silly CET time.
 
Some people stubbornly reject the Correct Earth Time.
Their loss!
The more pertinent question is, why should there be a time for bacon and a time not for bacon?
 
Oh yay, DNS just went down here.
I can't forget to watch Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva tonight.
Not that I would download it illegally or anything!
 
3:26 PM
@Powerlord I would.
 
Not that I found the English Dubbed version on Demonoid or anything!
(which uses the same voice actors as the games)
 
@Powerlord Just use Google.
 
Speaking of which, what's taking Nintendo so long with Professor Layton and the Specter's Flute's English translation?
Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracles just came out in Japan.
 
Uh oh. I think I feel a question coming on...
 
@GnomeSlice People hate release date questions.
 
3:32 PM
<---
 
Unless you meant a question unrelated to what we're discussing on The Bridge.
 
Yes, that one.
I've only just arrived.
I figured I should announce it, because most of my questions are dubious at best.
 
that's because u r dbs @ bst
 
Don't worry. The close squad is here, edit squad standing by.
 
I'm going to create the [iThingy] tag, any objections? Good.

Q: Does Mourning the Dead Serve Any Practical Purpose?

GnomeSliceIn Solomon's Boneyard, if you pause your wizard/witch over a tombstone for a short moment, you place a small bouquet of flowers at the grave, and a name (presumably that written on the stone) is displayed at the top of the screen. Is there any practical purpose for this feature?

 
3:40 PM
:(
 
The power of Bob is now in my hands!
 
@Gnome purely aesthetics
 
Dupe
 
Its really not that silly at all.
@sjohnston Oh, my bad.
 
3:40 PM
:P
 
this videogame ending is silly
 
@GnomeSlice We already have an iPhone tag. We shouldn't have both.
 
"Oh so if you die we're all fucked forever, and if I die we're all fucked forever, so we're fine. Good game! Victory and triumph!"
 
But it's not iPhone.
 
Hmm, haven't played solomon's boneyard in a while. Might have to break that out today.
 
3:41 PM
Maybe I should post on meta. I think we need an iDevice tag.
 
the iTags are all buggered up
 
I retagged
 
[itag]
 
Then we should make iPhone a synonym of idevice
 
3:42 PM
we have iPhone, iPad, iPod and iOS, I believe
 
or ios
 
@ArdaXi Lot's of people use the term iDevice.
 
WILLY NOOOOOOOOO
 
@sjohnston Those need all be merged.
 
D:
 
3:42 PM
@sjohnston Any reason why we shouldn't merge them all in ios?
 
If your question's ground isn't specific to any particular iThingy, don't put a tag. ā™Ŗ
 
@badp You know there's a remake of that game for the GBA named Sword of Mana?
 
o.o
 
some apps are limited to a subset of devices, some might have a bug that only occurs on a specific device
 
I mean, I guess some iPad games won't run on the iPhone
 
3:43 PM
There are a few games that have different versions for iPad/iPhone
 
@Powerlord The comments mentioned that.
 
^
But I guess if it's not specific, you don't need to worry about it.
 
Even then, an iDevice is either.
That's like a tag.
 
Not really.
 
it's like console tags for multiplatform games, we should stick to iOS whenever possible, and only use iPad, iPhone, etc when it has an actual impact on the question, in my personal opinion.
2
 
3:44 PM
@sjohnston Deal.
 
We need a [console] tag.
 
Grace has removed the tag
 
and a [mobile] tag.
 
That's not going to stop most people from tagging things anyway, though.
 
@sjohnston And obliterate iDevice
@GnomeSlice No we don't.
 
3:44 PM
And a [video-game] tag.
 
> If your question's ground isn't specific to any particular iThingy, don't put a tag. ā™Ŗ
 
@Brant We can't stop people using horrible English either. We just retag.
 
@Mana MOD FIGHT, MOD FIGHT!
 
@ArdaXi I am in favor of that.
 
We shall now rename ios to ithingy.
 
3:45 PM
bets are now open in the mod fight of badp versus Grace Note
 
23 hours ago, by LessPop_MoreFizz
@ArdaXi I dunno man, as tags go, is evergreen.
 
For ithingy is so cute.
 
Maybe if we made a synonym of and then left the tag alone for those questions specific to it...
 
^ Hahaha!
 
Hmm, no, that wouldn't work.
 
3:45 PM
(How do you guys do the tags in chat like that?)
 
@Powerlord When I and Grace disagree I usually assume Grace is right
 
<tag:whatever> (replace with square brackets)
 
except maybe on some topics such as invisible mermaids.
 
too long! FAIL.
 
3:46 PM
Backfire.
 
I think it just makes sense. No dating sim is complete without an invisible mermaid.
 
We need to work on getting all the starred posts on the right to include
 
I'm not going to anyone. Stop asking me!

Oh... Yeah... The prophecy... "One day... there shall be... an invisible war-scarred tsundere mermaid... and he... he will make a terrible mod."
I remember that.
 
Well, you found me. Congratulations. Was it worth it? Because, despite your violent behaviour, the only thing that you've managed to break so far, is my heart.
 
"maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan"
 
@Powerlord *violent behaviour?
 
@Powerlord '...thing you've managed to break so far...' *
@sjohnston > Oh, you were serious about the dupe.
 
@Powerlord Maybe we could settle for that and call it a day.
 
3:52 PM
Can you believe Wikipedia was deleting the entry for Old Man Murray, despite it being where Eric Wolpaw, who wrote all the dialog for Portal iirc, got his start?
and when I say "was deleting" I mean "did delete" ?
Apparently the Deletion Review did get it restored.

A: How do I Poison Someone?

Arda XiThe only way to actually poison someone is to take a Vial of Poison, combine it with a water ration, food, or a drug, and then get that person to drink the ration. A Vial of Poison is created using Corrosive Liquid, a Battery and Pharmaceutical Products. You can then combine this with water, foo...

 
Oh, Wikipedia and its thousands of policies and processes.
 
Atta boy, @Arda.
 
All taking place in freeform pieces of text.
It's amazing it kinda works.
 
It's time for him to go. still sends shivers down my spine

techspot.com/news/… Apparently you have to be 17 or older to use the Opera browser for OSX.
 
@Powerlord Who knows what sites you may browse...
 
Whoops, my bad, that's for Mac.
 
4:01 PM
Yeah, apple does that for pretty much anything that could theoretically let you view pr0n, because the iOS parental controls can't control it
Oh wait, lol?
 
Gladly Safari is different!
 
Safari can be locked down though.
 
@Brant So Opera cannot?
 
Through the OS I mean.
 
> "I'm very concerned," Jan Standal, VP of Desktop Products for Opera Software, said in a statement. "Seventeen is very young, and I am not sure if, at that age, people are ready to use such an application. It's very fast, you know, and it has a lot of features. I think the download requirement should be at least 18."
 
@Brant So Opera's problem is the inability of adding stuff to the OS configuration dialogs?
 
It's ludicrous, but it's Apple's store, so shrug
 
@Brant So wait, that means we need to be 17 or older to use Safari on Windows?
 
You don't need to be 17 to use anything.
Apple won't let you download Opera from Apple's own store unless you're 17, because the parental controls in Apple's operating system don't apply to it.
 
@Brant Also what kind of tweets are you going to receive? and all that spam about pr0n? Also you could be creating movies with pr0n recorded from your mobile. Or record calls to pr0n services.
Let's just lock those unstable kids out of a computer.
Like @Arda.
 
4:06 PM
I'm not saying it isn't ludicrous.
 
I'm just wondering why it only applies to web browsers however.
They're not the only way to receive pr0n.
(Also I assume Firefox has a similar rating?)
 
installs an Email client "You must be 17 years old to download this app" downloads an IM client "You must be 17 years old to download this app"
 
I don't think Firefox is in the app store
 
That's the second question I've ever had closed. :(
 
You can always just go to opera.com and download it straight from there anyway.
 
4:08 PM
install an M-rated game... Oh wait, games on OSX?
 
@Powerlord Yeah, with their one-button mice and their black and white screens, LOL!
 
<3 stereotypes
 
Oh god I'm turning into an apple apologist.
That's it, no more daring fireball
 
@Brant It could be worse, you could read Roughly Drafted Magazine.
 
@Brant I respect your opinions, because you use the darn thing
I don't so all I can work with is hear say and 3rd parties.
 
4:10 PM
But to read that one, you have to be so far into Apple's Reality Distortion Field that you can't see through thinly veiled lies.
 
They didn't work well with Vista...
I really need to get myself some Hackintosh action. Get 1st person evidence.
It's just ugly though, and not really indicative. Let alone lawful.
 
Eh, I could care less about the lawfulness of it. It's fiddly though. Half the fun of macs are that they aren't fiddly.
fiddly/fussy
 
Yeah, but exactly how fiddly? More or less than, say, Ubuntu?
There's only one way to know, and it's trying both.
 
Can't say, I've never tried. Although I did look at a few build guides.
 
Obviously the install process will be way fiddlier; I'm thinking more about day to day usage.
 
4:15 PM
If you're going to build a hackintosh you'd probably be just as fine with a mac mini.
 
um, I wasn't as much going to build one as I was rather going to try and install it on my existing computer and see how much of it worked :P
 
oh, heh
I don't know what the scene is like now, but a few years ago when I looked into it you needed a lot of specific hardware.
Maybe any old generic components will work now, I have no idea.
 
I'm wondering if my coworkers think I'm crazy now that I burst out laughing at reading something on the RoughlyDrafted website.
 
eh, I've got an nVidia gfx card, an intel wifi card, how hard can it be?
Maybe the sound can be problematic
the real problem would be lack of gestures, which I guess add a lot to the feel of the OS.
 
@Powerlord I've never read that site. What was funny?
or: link plz
 
4:20 PM
@Brant It's funny in the "Guy who makes stuff up and presents strawman arguments to support a pro-Apple viewpoint" way.
roughlydrafted.com is the site.
 
Yeah, I'm reading an article now. Seems pretty... puffy.
 
"And if I sell subscriptions, in order to put my app in iTunes i have to make it possible for users to buy subscriptions through iTunes without trying to make it more expensive to entice customers away from using iTunes." <-- No, Apple forbids you from selling a subscription from outside the app for less than inside the app. AFAIK, there's no restriction on selling it for more.
i.e. you can't mark it up 30% to cover Apple's cut
 
Yeah, but why would you ever do that?
 
I wonder how obnoxious has the in-app subscription option to be
 
"Boo hoo. Send in the profit police. Nobody should make money on delivery if the shipper isnā€™t also getting rich! Isnā€™t that a law somewhere?" <-- There's an entire field called economics on this subject.
@Brant To partly/wholly make up for Apple's 30% cut. As someone said on another site "People who buy iOS devices are willing to pay more"
 
4:25 PM
SUBSCRIBE! On our website! Via mail! Other suckier options
Other suckier options → You don't really want to know. They are really really bad. [OKAY] [But...]
But... → No really, they really do suck. They aren't any cheaper to begin with. They're fiddlier too. [FINE] [But...]
 
"The alternative to iTunesā€™ content market which individual vendors must pay a revenue cut to support is the Google Way, which makes content free when itā€™s placed next to ads." <-- THE alternative? Apparently you can't, say, sell a subscription through your site?
 
But... → You really want Jobs to have more of your money, don't cha? [EH, NOT REALLY] [And my grandchild too!]
 
Did I mention that every one of his articles is written like this?
It's even funnier if you find the ones dealing with Windows/Microsoft.
 
Hilarious Pictures For Sad Children comic (one nsfw-ish word, or else I've embedded it)
@Powerlord Actually no, you can't. That's the part that has people in an uproar. If you have a "click here to sign up on our website" link in your app, you have to also support itunes payments.
Netflix doesn't care because netflix doesn't let you sign up through the app.
(At least I think this is how it works. Don't quote me.)
 
@Brant Interesting, I was under the impression that you could have a link that launched Safari and do it that way. I heard that's how Amazon is handling it.
 
4:29 PM
That's how they have been up until now
nobody's really sure what amazon is going to do. heck, the itunes in-app payment system only supports something like 3500 different skus, so there's no way that'll work with amazon's library
 
@Brant is that word "shit"? |:
 
@badp Third panel.
 
@badp Keep looking.
 
Ah, eh, okay.
 
I don't care about the word, but I imagine people at work might not want to have it pop up on their screen in large letters

Q: How to fight in Prince of Persia Classic?

sergI picked up Prince of Persia Classic for XBLA which is a remake of an original Prince game from 90s. I can't figure out the fighting mechanics. There are two buttons - block and attack. I usually block after an enemy starts attacking sequence and then hit attack button right away. This works on ...
