pulls out a sword
I swear I do NOT understand why the SourceMod devs do things like they do.
They define a method "HintTextMsg" but it's in the implementation files rather than the public files.

Q: Do the effects of water candles stack?

Ben BlankHolding a water candle is known to increase the spawn rate and limit. There are also at least two events which affect spawning, Blood Moons and Goblin Armies. It's clear the two events can't stack — the former only occurs at night and the latter only during the day — but water candles are less ...

Q: BLUDBATH.T? (Turing Game)

Synetech inc.To be honest, I’m not sure whether this belongs more in Gaming or StackOverflow, but anyway… In one year of high school, we learned the Turing programming language. One of my classmates found a violent hang-man game made in Turing on the Internet. It was quite the hit in our class for several re...

Q: Mid-90s Shmup Identification

Ian PugsleyI'm looking for a shoot-em-up from way back in the mid-90s that I had an awful lot of fun with. I specifically remember having to reboot my Windows 95 PC to run DOS so that I could play this game, if that helps. I don't remember anything particularly unusual about it - futuristic ships flying...

Q: Is there any reason to use another weapon and not a steel sword

BoraI am wondering if there is any reason not to use a sword but another weapon, like a dwarven axe or a halberd. Most of them have attractive properties like "Stun +15%". < What will I be missing when I use them? Is heavy attack only available for swords? Are there any enhancement options for...

Q: Trying to find a game (around 90s to 2005), RTS game

Lionel ChanI used to play a PC game when I was young. I can't remember the name at all but planning to complete it because all I have in the past was a demo with 2 or 3 levels. Cut short, these are all the detail I can remember:- The game is a RTS game, non space It has human and machinery units One of t...

if a pyro and a spy go at the same speed
and they walk in the same direction
how can the pyro catch the spy with his flames

Demo paradise.

Q: What's happend to my save game?

DrakeStarted Assasssin's Creed 2 this morning at I found a very bad surprise. All missions played the day before haven't been saved. All sequence 3, from Casa Dolce Casa to A Change of Plans, has been lost. Any clue why and how that happened and how can avoid that this situation repeat?

@badp It's not that bad
 
@ThomasMcDonald Point 4 is as easy as Egypt's point 4
which is to say nigh impossible
even if you make it past point 2.
We rolled onto point 1, 2 and 3 easily, started point 4 at full timer (9 minutes) and still lost.
 
user30
I do not play egypt, for it is a horrible map.
 
user30
Point 4 would be the last point on stage 2 yes?
 
yes
you're coming out of the shack
 
user30
Yer, that is a nasty point.
 
user30
10:48 AM
still not impossible to cap though, a good uber should blow through most of their defense, roll in behind it
 
Oh, I'm sure it doesn't defy the laws of physics
you mean kill all of their three demomen and three engie nests in the same eight seconds?
(yay class limits)
Point 3 is already hell vs good enough engies
I've only seen points 5 and 6 once, 5 is also hell vs good engies, 6 is gg as red can camp your spawn doors, which is where the cart arrives ultimately.
@ThomasMcDonald ...am I the only one who labels points this way?
I can also label them point 'C' 'D' 'E' 'F' if it's any less confusing.
 
user30
@badp I would say stage 2, point 2.
 
that's loooooooong

Q: How to finish 'Retrieve the GECK for Arroyo' quest?

NarsilI just got it from Vault 13 by helping deathclaws. I found Hakunin dying and telling about the raid but I don't get xp and quest isn't marked as done. Is there something wrong or do I need to do more stuff?

Q: Is it possible/what happens when you pot all the snooker balls?

WilIn Duke Nukem Forever, right near the start of the game before you get in the lift, there is a snooker table. I have been trying for ages now and am getting fed up, but, the closest I can get is one ball away before potting the white and the game restarting. I am guessing it is possible, but do...

Q: Why does Super Mario Land flash binary upon startup?

JeffWhen I was a kid, I had this copy of Super Mario Land for Game Boy Pocket, and when I started the game up, right after the Nintendo logo came up, the screen filled up with 1's and 0's. I assume this happened in all copies, but I have never tried to replicate it. Why is this?

Q: Whats the best way to remove stickers from a game case?

Mr. ShickadanceThose annoying stickers that retailers like to place on game boxes, even if they are new. They become annoying and eventuall stick to other cases. So, what is the best method for removing these? Goo-gone? Heat gun? Windex?

@StrixVaria Congrats
 
@StrixVaria Enjoy your shiny new toys I mean, tools
 
@YiJiang Shiny, new !
Bleah, I should start my laundry, but I don't feel like it.
I'm also fighting with my computer today. Lately, it's started pretending devices are being inserted and removed and freezing for a second or two every time it thinks that's happening.
It's driving me crazy.
In related news, I'm considering moving my "get a new computer" activity up from February-April 2012 to June 2011.

Q: Tuning cars for drag racing in Forza 3?

John RudyIt seems to me that tuning cars for the standard race tracks in Forza is relatively straightforward: Depending on your needs and your base car, optimize for various parameters. (For me, weight reduction is always a favorite -- relatively cheap and massive performance gains.) But when dealing wit...

 
7:06 PM
It happened again, to the starred list. Nothing before yesterday?
 
Fixed
 
@ArdaXi I see some stars on the 9th
 
Hm, two.
One's a pin, kinda cheating.
 
7:23 PM
Ah well, that's what happens when IRC siphons my attention away.
@Powerlord Oh. Hrm. That wasn't supposed to go to you. Must've misplaced a few digits in the target id.
602, 27, small difference.

Q: Anyone leaving the Nether exits through my house?

Lucas McCoyThe SMP server I play on just updated to Minecraft 1.6.6. We were all really excited about the Nether. However no matter how many portals we make, when you leave the Nether and comeback to the real world, you end my house (my safe of all places). These portals are not close to each other, but t...

 
Also, got to file a bug report on the SourceMod site.
Silly devs have some functions listed as being part of IGameHelpers in one file, but IGameHelpers.h doesn't include them.
Which is annoying, because it means it won't work on current versions of SourceMod (I think... I haven't tried to just editing the .h file and compiling the project with it)

Grats @Strix !
 
user30
Really want a loch and load
 
8:15 PM
@ThomasMcDonald Want mine?
I even have a dupe for you, so I wouldn't have to give up my "main" one I don't use anyway
profit
 
8:42 PM
Seems like people are taking the OpenTTD idea to other games now.
 
user30
@badp @Powerlord Kritzkast hype.
 
@ThomasMcDonald ?
 
user30
@badp For the kritzkast hat.
 
mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh‌​hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh‌​hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh‌​hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh‌​hh
 
user30
8:51 PM
TF2 fans are mad. I guess that applies to every other game as well.
 
user30
and you had to be a member of the Kritzkast group, which has annoyed a lot of people.
 
I'm waiting for the translators' hat :P
 
user30
@badp You have strings in-game now right?
 
@ThomasMcDonald Yup, Italian's finally been updated.
I changed ~40 strings
...which I guess speaks a lot about the quality of the previous work, after all
 
user30
8:54 PM
@badp depends how many strings there are in total though.
 
@ThomasMcDonald No idea, there's none yet there.
Only talks of one that might be added in the future. Perhaps. Maybe. Possibly. Who knows.
 
whassup bros
 
Nothing much
People expected free hats. Free hats were given. People who expected free hats didn't get free hats. Business as usual.
 
I hate hats.
I also hate that people hate hats.
 
user30
@badp I get a hat. I think.
 
user30
8:58 PM
Hope there's not a timer on this quiz though, apparently I have to do the quiz to get a hat.
 
Honestly, I hate podcasts. Why'd I care about a podcast hat.
 
user30
Although, if hats are being awarded upon completion of a quiz, then it means the web API is working for awarding hats
 
user30
And so I will get my ETF2L badge soon. Yay.
 
user30
Ah, someone's posting the questions on SPUF. I shall just find the answers out now.
 
Screw other games, IT'S X-COM TIME.
How do I play X-Com these days? Abandonware?
 
user30
9:04 PM
Ohoho, got onto the quiz, hat incoming
 
@ThomasMcDonald ?
Don't you need to be in the group beforehand?
 
user30
Yes, I was.
 
Ah, good luck.
 
user30
Oh come on, this episode is 1 hour long.
 
user30
All I want is one answer.
 
user30
9:09 PM
Wonder how many questions there are...
 
user30
Looks like 10 or 20
 
user30
Oh, only 5, but they're from a larger pool of questions
 
@Mana I hate hat hating hating people.
 
user30
9:25 PM
Wow, Kritzkast's server is performing bizarrely. From 50kb/s to 1mb/s (downloading onto remote server so I can reliably stream) in just a few seconds
 
user30
9:41 PM
Humm, one question I can't get now.
 
are they about the game or the cast?
 
user30
Kritzkast mostly, just got awarded the hat
 
user30
The questions were, lemme see what I can remember
 
user30
1) In episode #55 what is drunken_f00l's community knife referred to
2) What is <one of the hosts> favourite band
3) When was KK first mentioned on the TF2 blog
4) In the KK header, which classes weapon links to the KK drinking game
5) What is <one of the hosts> favourite class
 
1) the butter knife; does crits if used with mad milk and a loaf of bread
2) Rebecca Black
3) 1947
4) Sandvich
5) Sandvich
 
user30
9:55 PM
anyway, it says they're having some issues awarding the hats, something about a Steam connection. I'll check in t'morning.
 
What do I win
I was in a couple random groups in 2007 also, and sneezed at least two hundred times.
Does it count?
 
@badp No.
 
@ArdaXi You don't count.
 
@badp Neither do you.
 
Oh hey, finally one time where that stupid macro comeback kinda works.

@badp I don't think so.

10:34 PM
I hate to be "that guy"...
But I don't think the or tags are helping.
 
@RavenDreamer Agreed, so I proceeded with the of .
As for , I dunno.
ing would be so deliciously meta...
 
What about the of @Gnomeslice's ego?
is already the definition of a meta-tag. In fact, it's beyond meta. It's a mimetic tag.
 
It hides?</nitpick>
 
Okay then, @badp. How do you turn "meme" into an adjective?
 
"memetic"
 
10:40 PM
Touché, Badp. Touché
Bah. I think I need to buy a new wireless adapter.
My PC is getting horrible horrible lag whenever I try to game online.
Well, I'm off to painstakingly download the dungeon siege 3 demo. ciao.

Q: How can I delete local content from a game not in my list in Steam?

Juan ManuelI played the free weekend for Call of Duty Black Ops and I decided not to buy it.

Parola d'ordine errata. Hm, that's kinda catchy. @badp
 
be aware nobody actually uses 'parola d'ordine' anymore

@badp I know.
But pazzword errata seems so cheesy.

Q: What is Modio and should I be worried?

JohnI'm playing Minecraft over Hamachi with some friends. One of them said he could make himself op on MY server with a program called Modio. What is this, should I be worried, and what can I do against it?
