Q: What are the lyrics to the song PotatOS Lament on Volume 2 of the Portal 2 Soundtrack?

Mark SzymanskiWhat are the lyrics to the song "PotatOS Lament" on Volume 2 of the Portal 2 soundtrack? It doesn't sound like English (though some parts do sound like the word "potatoes"). Is it another language? Or just gibberish?

 
12:44 AM
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this: If you have a Linux TF2 server, don't update it.
Or if you do, save orangebox/bin/vphysics.so first, as the version it will replace it with is corrupt.
They fixed the OSX version and corrupted the Linux version at the same time. Thanks. Valve!

Q: Looking for a driving simulator where you drive on the left

tfinnigaMy wife isn't much of a gamer, but we're interested in moving from the US to somewhere where they drive on the left hand side of the road. She's interested in playing racing games or driving sims that feature driving on the left to get used to it. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find a good ...

 
@Lazers I'd really like for that to not have to be closed as game-rec.

Arg, TF2 appears to be stuck. It thinks that it needs to redownload the entire game, but it won't let me start the download or verify the game files >.<
Woo, progress. It now tells me the Steam servers are too busy. Time to change my region and try again =P
1GB of new hats?!? Silly Valve and their evil conspiracy to use up all my internet data cap D:
 
7:00 AM
Well, Steam is trying to install its June 1st patch again.
I hope it's a beta update instead
btw it's official
I have 50% of the TF2 achievements now!
 
congrats!

Interesting. Transcripts of this chat are now showing up in Google.
 
@ArdaXi Nothing new really.
 
@badp Yeah it is.
Otherwise Google would have sent me that email much sooner.
 
15 hours ago, by badp
It's available for three tickets, and those prizes can change.
I find this amusing.
 
@badp For what reason?
 
It's my message followed by your nick.
 
8:44 AM
@badp That's just Google not used to chat transcripts.
 
Sounds eeeevil.
Yeah, but those looking at google excerpts don't really care :P
Now I just need you to reply at the very right time to put words in your mouth.
 
@badp Those Googling me, you mean.
 
That's what your alert is about after all.
 
Yes.

Q: how to run go kart?

GajetI've downloaded and installed go kart but now I can't figure out how to run the game. two icons were added to my desktop, one is garena messenger and one is gkart, but running any of them only opens a login window which ends up in garena messenger. Does any one know how can I start the game itsel...

 
Dammit I really really really wanted one of those >_<
This is incredibly upsetting.
 
What's upsetting is that I got 4+ million points in my first Boss Rush game of Beat Hazard Ultra. Don't do that.
What happens is that you level up about 9 or 10 ranks at once, but then you only unlock 1 perk. Which means 8-9 perks to unlock with 'Elite (n)' ranks. :/
 
11:36 AM
ouch, really?
ugh ebay prices for this are stupid ridiculous
god dammit
 
that's hot
Also @FallenAngelEyes I have some friends who are not going to be happy about that...:(
 
I am seriously upset
 
yeah'
seems like Rock Band is dying, I guess.
 
They did discontinue the series
 
the problem is Best Buy
 
12:23 PM
It's surprising this got milked to brim so fast
 
They've got a chokehold on the retail supply
Rock Band isn't dead, Guitar Hero is
 
oh - nm.
 
Best Buy won't let go of their exclusivity
but they're not pushing the sales
so Fender feels that there's currently enough supply for the demand because that supply is sitting in Best Buy stores
 
ugh
duuuuuuuuuumb
 
so
looking at ebay prices and shipping and import tax and etc.
I'd be out around €450 to get one + midi controller from a friend at this point
god fucking dammit
gonna afk and try not to want to ragequit the world atm

Q: Lava and water multiplication

FabianIn a recent post on planting alchemy ingredients on Terrariaonline there is a mention of multiplication of lava. The post states the following: this blackened area is the "temporary" Lava multiplication wing. It can be made longer if you want to, but it works the same: put the lava near...

Q: Why does this box make a noise when I click on it?

Joshua Shane LibermanIn the Cooperative Hub area near each of the chamber selection screens is a small box that talks whenever you click on it. Aside from sounding like a turret, does the box have a purpose? These are the ones that light up purple as they are activated.

5:08 PM
Moar dealies.
 
So I can get the Spiral Knights and SMB tickets today.
Except I don't know wtf "Spend as little time in hell as possible" means at all.
Also Steam cannot find any game with the query "half life"
Good goin'...
HL1 at €2 is nice.
TFC at €1... dunno if I should bother.
 
@badp Yes.
It's TF as it was meant to be.
 
@badp You should buy Magicka for 3.50 and get that ticket too
 
@ArdaXi Is there other people playing it I mean?
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have the base game.
 
I can check.
Either way I still have a giftable copy of it.
 
5:14 PM
@badp Versus mode was in a free patch, so you should be able to get that too
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Still it's "do 25 pvp matches in weather", nothing really quick
Right now all I need is one more ticket for whatever other prize.
As for Magicka I played for the first few stages with @Fabian and @Thom and then we sort of dropped it. We stopped at Khaaaaaaaaaaan and never resumed.
That makes it currently the worst purchase I've made so far :P

Q: Angry Birds: score is always 3,977,990

ring0I played all (available) levels of Angry Birds Summer PigNic and always get 3,977,990 as a score, for all levels (score displayed top right side). Please see the screenshot below (today's level) The score takes about 3 mn (three minutes) to be displayed - counting from 1 to 3,977,990. What ...

 
@badp Me too.
 
So what's the TFC server browser looking like?
 
5:17 PM
One moment.
Downloading it now.
 
OIC.
 
@badp Do you? DO YOU?!
 
@ArdaXi Yes. Makes the camera in Arda's room do a tiny click and whirr.
 
@badp Oh, you really think that's my room?
I mean, the moment I saw you install that I had it mail-ordered to @Mana as a StackExchange-themed webcam.
 
It's where the computer is. You're zoning that area anyway.
Yeah, that was the fake camera designed to be busted.
The click comes from a slightly less fake looking camera.
 
5:20 PM
Oh, right, that one.
I kept that as a memento.
 
Either way your shoulders are blocking the view even if the resolution was good enough to read from the screen.
Which it isn't.
 
That's why you don't cheapen out on them.
I should spam @badp for a ticket.
 
I'd never do that, except when I did.
 
Ticket get.
Launching TFC now.
Err... well...
 
After it's done installing and everything I guess
 
5:23 PM
Oh.
It finally finished.
That's much better than I expected.
5 servers with 30/32.
 
I see.
 
The fact they're called Free Chicken Porn we should probably just ignore.
 
Let's wait for SMB to update so that I can understand wtf is Medium Rare about.
Oh. Right. World 4.
 
Interesting. One of the servers is named with the Dutch word for kid abductor.
 
So the universal word for 'kid abductor.'
 
5:26 PM
@badp No, no, we only have 1/5th of the market.
 
@ArdaXi What do you mean? Free Chicken Porn sounds awesome
 
That's weird. I got the Magicka achievement the moment I launched Magicka.
 
@ArdaXi English doesn't have much more of a worldwide language share I'm sure?
 
@badp Err, so?
That's weird. SMB hasn't updated on my end yet.
 
It hasn't for me either, you know.
 
5:31 PM
Well, I'm at 9 tickets now.
Which means 3 unlocks.
I think there's like 4 available to me anyway.
I'll just get the damn shades. They're famous.
 
@ArdaXi It seems you can only pick 4 anyway
Meh at the shades. Everybody and their son will have those (F2Ps can wear them.)
 
Well, I'll soon find out.
 
@badp Cousin. Everyone and their cousin.
 
I might get the extra AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA levels.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Actually I heard it as 'dog.'
 
@badp Which?
 
5:33 PM
@ArdaXi First line second to last.
 
Oh, right.
There's more available to me than I know.
At this rate I'll have enough tickets to redeem everything I can use.
 
Your profile page only has 4 slots for redeemed stuff.
 
It also 'seems' like you can only get 18 tickets.
I'm already at 9.
And that's after 3 days.
2.5
 
Okay, since I'm at 5 I'll just try the Spiral Knights one. I should have a handful of crowns to just buy it.
Then sell it.
 
Hrm.
Can I intrude in that buy-sell cycle?
 
5:38 PM
hm
 
I've never even played the game.
 
I'm not liking that I just provided my login data to this sketchy airport wifi
oh well
whassup bros
 
except that bomb doesn't seem to exist already in the game
 
@badp Do you want to continue the game?
 
@Fabian Not in these days, I'm also supposed to study for exams. I'm looking for easy peasy tickets right now and finally get back to Data Mining.
It appears the SK bomb isn't yet in the game. Logs off.
 
5:43 PM
Hey, I wonder if this is the ideal time to test out SQL injection.

Q: Super Meat Boy - How do I earn "Medium Rare" achievement?

Raven DreamerSo Super Meat Boy updated, and has a new achievement: "Medium Rare". It's description is only "Spend as little time in hell as possible" How do I earn this new achievement?

 
on some random airport wifi
 
@Mana Would it give you free wifi? Then yes.
Otherwise don't be a dick to those who are paying to browse by dropping table users. :P
 
oh, no
the only thing I do with SQL injection is seeing if the problems exist
' is my favorite SQL injection
 
So medium rare may involve getting the 10 A+s I lack from chapter 4.
 
5:49 PM
most likely.
 
okay, 9 left.
 
you can do it
 
@Mana You know, there's an Injection part to 'SQL Injection' too.
 
shhhh
 
dons his black hat Where to, @Mana?
 
5:55 PM
quote goes in, server error goes out
you can't explain that
that, is SQL injection
 
@Mana Spectacular. You appear to understand how a portal doesn't affect connections. Or, to be more precise, how it does.
 
I'm funny.
 
trolololol that wasn't funny.
 
kicks @badp in the consonants
 
a.
 
5:58 PM
then in the vowels
 
kicks @Mana in the y
 
@Mana Foiled! I only have one.
 
fair enough
 
@badp Bd Pzzwrd
 
I'm getting on a plaaaaaaaane wheeeeeeeeeeeee
and for some reason I'm having a slight problem breathing normally. :( asdf I think I'm nervous, dudes.
 
5:59 PM
@Mana Did you know 1000 people died in plane accidents only last year?
 
Only 1000?
