Right down to the promoID
Huh, all the HL1 and HL2 games (and TFC) are $9.99 for the whole set.
 
I'm considering whether to buy HL1 and TFC from the store or with the wallet.
Thing is, there's no room for a €.99 space in my €5 recipe
and the €1.99 slot that HL1 would take would replace a key
then it'd be pointless to get funds in the wallet.
Thus I'll just skip the wallet.
 
So, who thinks Valve will actually add a second Misc slot to TF2 like their blog post suggests?
 
I think they'll actually merge either with another misc.
 
Valve doesn't joke when it comes to cosmetical items
They've also talked about being able to wear multiple medals quite a while ago.
 
tf2.com/post.php?id=5770 <-- In case someone wonders what blog post I mean.
"Note: The Scout is shown equipped with TWO miscellaneous slot items. We realize this is currently IMPOSSIBLE. After firing the artist responsible, we are now working on making that artist's vision a reality."
I wonder if they'll just make the Action slot double as a second Misc slot.
But anyway, Valve has a number of bugs to fix yet that they still haven't... Katana not being honor bound... Splendid Screen causing melee weapons to crit (it's not supposed to, it's got its own effect of doing damage when it hits players... but at the moment it also appears to have the Targe's effect)

Q: In Minecraft 1.7, do I now have to kill sheep to collect wool?

mbxI just updated Minecraft to 1.7.2, and now I don't get wool from hitting a sheep once anymore. Killing it only drops 1 block of wool. In 1.6, it used to drop 1-3 when hitting it once. Do I have to kill the sheep now, or is there an intended way to collect wool?

 
I've actually thought I died due to the stupid buttons far more than once.
Sure, it's for a fair reason: the game must register a space depress between two consecutive jumps
it still feels NGARRRRRRRRRRRWARGARBL every time I don't jump like that and I'm holding the space bar.
Can likes on Vimeo be traced to their owner? (asked on WebApps)
 
8:31 PM
lol! flying line warpzone was super funny
 
I'M ALIVE
 
HI MANA
HI BRO
 
MAAAAAAAAAANA.
 
WE BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS.
 
I see you defeated irony once again
 
8:37 PM
WE BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS
sick jammin'
Also, now I have another five hour and 30 minute flight.
So maybe not @badp.
 
You could've mentioned that earlier.
5h30m, that means you must be crossing the ocean.
It'd be too late to be US → EU direction though, so you must be up to something more evil.
 
@Mana Where are you going?
 
Like EU → US. 2238 +5 CEST is 2138 EDT if I'm not mistaken. Hmmm
 
San Francisco
from Washington
 
@badp That would be crossing the Brocean, realm of Broseidon.
But he is not doing so.
 
8:40 PM
Well there's a desert in the middle I guess that counts too
Technically.
Perhaps.
 
@badp He's probably not going over the desert.
 
I guess it's more like a laaaarge lake.
of sand.
 
@badp From Washington to SF, would be over the Plains and the Mountains.
No desert.
The Desert is further south than he'd fly.
 
details.
 
anyways peace
 
8:41 PM
You and your geography!
@Mana Have fun
so TFC is not reading my nick from Steam.
 
@badp Gee, really.
They should totally edit this teamfortress.com/freetoplay/faq.php
Free: Access to a limited amount of servers. Premium: Access to bigoted servers.
 
9:18 PM
@ArdaXi Yes really. The settings menu tells me to change my Steam nick to set my TFC nick.

Q: I Can't Remember This Game's Name

Devin CantrellI am looking for a flash game i used to play. i cant remember the name all i know is that you would start out with a central hub type thing that produced energy. there is this purple-ish stuff that slowly creeps along the level toward you. you build towers and cannons to fight it off by connectin...

STEAM
 
user30
how can your servers be "too busy" to launch TF2?
 
@ArdaXi Nothing says a disgruntled F2Per can't put up a server, download F2BK and put a not around the kick condition to be fair
 
@badp Good. Isolate them.
 
Name the server "The Training Ground" or something.

(inserted before pointless argument)
 
I would click that but the turntable room I'm in is on fire atm
too much good tunes
It is.
Too bad there's a strict No Euro's rule.
:(
Stupid legal issues.
 
Oh that turntable.
 
I still sort of miss Pandora.
Pandora and Spotify should merge already.
 
9:52 PM
What baffles me is that Turntable has spotify links built in
despite being US only
 
So according to SMBStats I'm 71.3 seconds below par in the levels I did complete. Woo?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Spotify is either already in the US or moving there.
 
@ArdaXi It isn't right now
I just tried to go there and got the not in your country
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz They're working on it.
 
And so is Turntable for your kind. But until then, having the links seems silly.

team has 4 spies
 
user30
chances of winning approaching 0.
 
What's this?
It looks like Neopets..
Hm... I wonder if my Neopets account still works.
That's... rather sad, isn't it?
 
138 messages in the time it takes me to play a round of disc golf. Hm. I wonder if that's significant.
 
They pruned me from their database :(
 
There, there. Cry into the fur of your beloved [insert Neopet name here] and know that it's for the best.
 
10:07 PM
I dunno, it was some kind of kitten-esque thingy.
Oh, no, I transformed it into a unicorn.
A black unicorn to go with my Chaotic deity.
I had a conflicted childhood.
 
@ArdaXi Google Images is very useful: images.google.com/… (er, click search by image, the generated url is too long)
(except it's not)
 
@badp It is if you know how to use it.
Of course left4dead2.com isn't really owned by Valve is it.
 
@ArdaXi > (er, click search by image, the generated url is too long)
 
Right.

Q: Can humans put english on the ball in Wii Sports Tennis

Chas. OwensI know I can put top and backspin on the ball in Wii Sports Tennis, but the computer seems able to english (left and right spins) on the ball. Can humans do it, or is it something only the computer can do?

 
@Lazers Humans and computers. Nothing else. Racist.
What about me rmaids?
 
11:00 PM
Well, guys, I got down to under 500 seconds in Hell.
Still no achievement, though.
 
@RavenDreamer Did any of us get it without cheating?
 
I don't know.
I mean, it's not like I need the tickets, or am in a rush...
 
@RavenDreamer Yeah, see, I don't need the tickets, but I like them.
 
The shinies! Must collect the shinies!
 
11:11 PM
So, anyway, I hear that Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva is finally getting a Region 1 (North America) release.
It seemed kinda silly that it had a Region 2 UK release, but not a Region 1 release.
 
@ArdaXi - I suppose I could check my math.
 
@RavenDreamer More tickets = more chance to win shiny new games.
I seriously have to figure out what to replace the crappy games on my list with.
 
@ArdaXi Yeah, I need to remember to update my wishlise before the sale is over
 
I find it disturbing that @Powerlord has "Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble!" on his list.
2
 
@ArdaXi I find it disturbing that you're keeping such a close eye on me.

11:16 PM
@Powerlord You're one of the few people online right now.
I was too lazy to scroll.
 
I suppose I should be glad you didn't click on my list instead
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Why? It's a lot better.
 
It's still got a bunch of crap on it from misclicks and such
 
Wait... you seriously don't have L4D1 or 2?
 
@ArdaXi Not on PC/Mac
 
11:18 PM
:O
 
Feel free to assist me in rectifying it, but I barely ever play shooters/online multiplayer games
This is why I am f2p scum in TF2
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, the Valve Complete pack is on sale...
 
@Powerlord I know, I've been eyeing it, since I haven't bought Portal 2 either
So, for the price of Portal, I get... everything
But I know what my current playtime is like, and that I won't even scratch the surface of the pack until the next steam sale anyway
so, no point.
I'm mainly keeping an eye on this sale for 1) absurd 3 dollar deals like the current ones on KOTOR and Magicka (though I have both of those), and 2) A good price on Civ 5 so I can play with the girl.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz True, but usually the Valve Complete pack is $75 on sale, this time it's $50.
Of course, depending on how much Valve Time hits them, DOTA 2 may be in the next complete pack.
 
@Powerlord It'll either be 50 next time around, or 75 and include another title.
 
11:23 PM

Q: Heroes of might and magic 4 best stargety at hardest mode

MonsterMMORPGI can't seem to pass campaing 2 first mission at hardest. What strategy do you suggest ?

 
I don't expect much for DotA 2
I picked up Darksiders for 5$; pretty happy about that one.
 
Who knows, Valve may go down the Free to Play route with DOTA 2 as well.
 
@Lazers Oh wow that needs to be cleaned up
@Powerlord F2P for DOTA 2 makes enormous sense given the primary competitors in that space
@RavenDreamer Yeah, I've been eyeing Darksiders all day
How does it play without a controller though?
Actually.... Ping @badp
Pretty sure that MonsterMMO fellow is a spammer
look at his network profile
he has accounts on EVERY site, has a question on Meta.SO 12 minutes ago asking how to sync his profile (which is overloaded with SEO heavy linkage about pokemon and shit)
and he's asked a ton of trivial/stupid questions on every SE under the sun
All in the past 20 minutes, other than his SU/SE questions
Ping @GraceNote / @JuanManuel while I'm at it
 
Couldn't hurt to ping SE staff.
 
11:32 PM
True, but I don't know their names/spellings thereof well enough to type out a flood of Ping @Jeff etc.'s
I did flag it as spam, so hopefully it'll be noticed soon
His activity over the past hour is... odd. Like, it's not spammerish, though his profile is - the activity is just... kinda dumb.
But he does have a year of activity on SO/SU that is... less dumb
Not much less dumb mind you.
but less dumb.

Q: Do Ghasts ACTUALLY spawn near portals in the overworld?

Williham TotlandWe hear this a lot; that ghasts (bunny-ears) "sometimes" spawn near portals in the "real world"; but I can't for the life of me remember having seen any actual evidence of this being true… Do ghasts actually spawn near portals, or is this another Herobrine?

 
11:47 PM
@LessPopMoreFizz - I don't know. I got a choice though; had to buy a gamepad to beat Super Meat Boy
 
@RavenDreamer Also why I haven't bought super meat boy :P
 
Super Meat Boy is soooo worth it though. @Badp's present difficulties aside.
How did we get away with a [Heroes-Might-Magic] tag?
There's soon to be 6 games in that series...
 
@RavenDreamer Character limits I think
