Q: Where is the Treasure located in The Mountain Path area of the Ignan Ruins (2-1)?

FallenAngelEyesI've purchased the hint from the Priest to try to figure out how to find the treasure, which is in the spoiler below: Nature provides the drums, you provide the beat I... have no idea what this means. The only thing I can think of is that it possibly has something to do with the mushrooms? ...

Oh, good. The final Terran Ruin hint is just as inconclusive as I hoped.
(I'm surprised that hasn't been asked about yet, too)
Terran Ruin? What, the golem?
19:23
Oh man, I just got a brilliant idea for the first lava level in Ignan Ruins, but then it turned out to be wrong :(
@Mana Uehehehe
I thought I was supposed to have a giant bomb reunion, so I tried luring the bombs towards eachother. tsk.
A bomb reunion? Is that what we call it now?

Q: How to set SETA to not abort on keypress?

Tobias KienzlerIn contrast to this question I simply want to be able to e.g. open the sector map via .. However, pressing any key results in killing SETA. In contrast, using the mouse I can open the map without stopping SETA, but using shortcuts is more comfortable of course, so can this behaviour be changed?

19:38
Yo @Fabian!
@Mana Hi
How's it going man?

Q: Codex pages on Assasin's creed 2

Tejaswi YerukalapudiI'm on 28/30 codex pages and can't access my next memory sequence without all 30. I've been given a map to the locations of all the pages though, with that, I've roamed around all 4 cities, but couldn't find any more. Any tips on how to get past this? Thanks, Teja.

19:56
back home! \o/
Yay NL.
But seriously? One in 5?
@badp \o/
@ArdaXi I'm getting the blues :/
@badp 25%. Oh wow.
I have way too much fun writing questions.

Q: Should I spend all points at the "Prepare for the Journey Carefully" stage in Dwarf Fortress?

BigStuuuI'm a brand new player to Dwarf Fortress, and I've been looking at some beginners guides for starting a game. Although the guides tell you which skills it is worthy investing in at the outset, they do not say anywhere if I should be spending the maximum amount of points that I can on my Dwarfs (t...

Q: How does the ranking system work in Magic: the Gathering DOTP 2012?

sarge_smithOn the ranked matches on Xbox live, Is it important to play all diffrent variations of the game? Also how much does a loss count against you versus a win counting for you?

Q: How do I get the treasure in the Lava Pools section of Ignan Ruins(2-3)?

ManaAs the last remaining secret treasure I haven't discovered in the Ignan Ruins, I am very eager to find riches in the Lava Pools. However, I'm struggling quite a bit, and I don't want to waste my precious health purchasing a hint. Currently I have tried: Luring all of the bombs together(like a ...

@Lazers I think the treasure sections are going to become entertaining questions if only for the batshit stuff we try in our vain attempts to find them
@FallenAngelEyes It's only going to get worse. I'm amazed you haven't asked about the last stage in the Terran Ruins yet.
Which one's the last stage in the Terran Ruins?
The boss?
Well, that'll be a start.
20:11
I thought all of those except for the skeleton one were pretty straightforward.
We'll see later. I'll be out for a bit.
Oh wait, I just discovered the Insect King's Lair. Eugh.
@Grace If you're talking about the Insect King's Lair, I just got the hidden treasure. I uh...huh.
20:29
Why do people change avatars all the time? It confuses me. :(
@Powerlord I saw that btw.
@Grace @Fallen So I've only tested this on Lava Pools but it seems like you can get infinite Ferromin for free by simply going to the world map immediately after you pick it up from the treasure chest.
@Wipqozn It's okay, I still don't know
It doesn't get counted as a clear and so the Ferromin's still in there the next time you open the treasure chest.
Oh, right, Doctor Who. Never seen a single issue.
20:34
@Mana o.O
20:48
@Powerlord I am disappoint
I come back to find this line in the changelog:
> Definitely did not add cheats for upcoming Free-2-Play Invitational Cup.
and there's no discussion about it?
@badp no discussion at all. Its VERY disappointing :/
@SimonSheehan I think I can see through your sarcasm? :P
@badp No sarcasm intended.
I see
It's just a bit annoying to me when valve adds these little things into the changelog and then no one does any discussion, and there's no hints at anything
20:55
@SimonSheehan The alternative is that everyone else already knows.

Q: Unable to update Metal Gear Online

Simon SheehanI am an absolutely massive Metal Gear Solid fan, and naturally own the 4th edition of the series - Guns of the Patriots. I found out there was online to it, and got very excited, until I realized I had to patch it. The HTTP download of the online patch does not start downloading after several min...

@ArdaXi Good point... Although I don't :(
We do.
@GraceNote I didn't expect Google to fail me this much, goo.gl/K8jGL
@badp Yeah, I tried that too.
21:02
Wait, Valve put control points and CTF as the 'advanced' gamemodes?
Those were the original gamemodes!
@badp Did you try tineye.com
I'm going to join a Valve server so I can play Spy and get away with sucking.
@FallenAngelEyes Worse.
The image is too low-res.
21:08
The funny thing is, the more I try to "refine" the results with the usual keywords plus the picture, the more explicit results I get
I'm just going to happily give up and let others have fun
Hey there!
I totally forgot to put that university name in Grace's file.

Q: How does the demoman charge?

Juan ManuelI've read some of the demoman's weapon descriptions, and some of them affect "charge rates". How do you do it? I saw some players doing what I think was a charge (running fast to perform a melee attack), but I didn't see any indication about it when I play as demoman.

whee, done Ignan Ruins
21:24
Never heard of it. Any good?
@Mana I'm currently on it too. Well I just need to copy my save game :P
@Simon It's a level in Chantelise
@Mana Ah, okay. Is that game really as good as its hyped up to be?
@Mvy Actually, I beat the game already; I'm just going back and doing the secret treasures because lulz
ok
21:26
@Simon Good question. Perhaps overhyped but it's good fun and pretty long if you go for all the unlockables, so I'd say a good purchase for $10
It's not like revolutionary though.
Ah okay, I'll probably pass on it then.

Q: How do I perform an airdash with the Winged Boots?

ManaI recently picked up a nice pair of Winged Boots from a treasure chest. They tell me that they enable me to use the airdash technique! This is great news, only I can't figure out for the life of me how I'm supposed to use it. What button or combination of buttons or button holding maneuver perfor...

22:01
akdj;flada GAH
WHY does the universe suck right now
@FallenAngelEyes Actually, it blows, currently.
In HS, we used to say something "defied physics" if it was bad enough to suck and blow at the same time
so instead of "This sucks," "this defies physics"
I'm gonna afk and try not to hit something
just got more bad news from parents about them and my sister and I can only take so much in one day
Dear universe, please stop hating on me and my family, kthxbai
laters all

Q: I played a point and click adventure game a LONG time ago for the PC....but I can't seem to remember the game

MichaelIt was about a detective I think which had a pet rhino or something similar... and it was kinda wierd but I can't seem to remember the name and I would REALLY like to play this game again!

23:11
@ArdaXi Institute
@GraceNote Ah, that's what I was looking for. Thanks!
Noted.
(Do you seriously read all the backlog when you come back?)
@Grace So I thought the hint "Try crossing that bridge" in Aquan Ruins was about using my Wind Boots to get to the other side without even lowering the bridge but apparently not. Is there something I'm missing here?
er, Aquan Ruins 3-2
@Mana Why are you asking me here? ♪
baaaaaaaah
I just got the one in 3-1, I'll be in 3-2 once I wrap up these fish
23:16
Man, 3-1 was annoying. I thought you had to kill off all the fish.
How disappointing when I finished off that last slime and learned how very wrong I was.
So you two seem to be enjoying Chantelise.
Yeah man, it's good.
@Wipqozn It's great to see the translation of it. See how much you understood compared to how it comes out
Also it's a great game, so it's wonderful to be able to fully play it again
Okay, starting 3-2
Yeah I thought about picking it up, but then I realized I already have enough games I'll never have time for finish.
Gotten ♪
23:25
twitches
@ArdaXi ?
@Grace arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh
@GraceNote Nothing. I forgot you were American.
@Mana If you figure in time for messing up, then you can probably use the time between when I said "starting" and when I said "gotten" to tell how long the task takes and thus figure out what the task is
Yeah, I did. Got it.
23:27
Heheh~
Well, dinner
Like I said, a lot of these puzzles are easy to figure out, once you get inside EGS's head and learn what sheer level of effort they go through.
@ArdaXi Huh. I see.
@GraceNote I think it was due to your use of the word "gotten"
@GraceNote In British English, that's got.
@ArdaXi For the last 300 years anyways.
@Wipqozn And only the next decade at most.
I really wish we would ban these already.
23:39
@Wipqozn Part of me agrees, bro. I'll get into that argument once I finish this game completely.
@Mana How long is it anyways?
If you don't go for the secret treasures, it's about...mm...what, 7-10 hours?
Not that long at all once you figure out how to play it properly though
a speedrun might be 40 minutes
Heavens to betsy
How long is 999 @mana?
hmm
Depends on how fast you read
An estimate for both one play through, and if you decided to do all the endings.
I'm a fairly fast reader.
23:45
each puzzle takes about half an hour, and you'll do six puzzles on one playthrough
so three hours right there
then I'd give about two hours for reading all the dialogue on that playthrough, so about five hours for one playthrough
Do you encounter different puzzle in each play through (assuming you take a different path)?
Yes, although you will have to repeat some puzzles
repeats are trivial, about three-five minutes
@Mana You're trivial.
ty
@ArdaXi Ouch.
We're all thinking it @ArdaXi, but you don't just go out and say it.
23:48
@Wipqozn Well, I did. I showed you, right?
But yeah, I've been thinking about buying it. I never actually heard of it till you started talking about it,but it sounds very similar to professor layton.
So let's see, you'll do 15-16 puzzles
each takes half an hour
Fine, fine, I'll get it already. Is it still on sale?
that's 7 and a half or eight hours
plus about 7-8 hours of dialogue if you read like me and think things through
plus however long you spend failing to find a new ending
so about 16-20 hours I'd say.
What I thought was nice about 999 though was that from the day I started playing to the day I beat it I couldn't stop thinking about it. I had troubles going to sleep because I was psyched thinking about the plot and unraveling the mysteries in my head.
I might pick it up then. Actually I keep meaning to pick up Phoenix Wright as well. I never played the series, but I always meant to. I held off due to it's apparently short length.
Oh wow, that's high praise.
23:53
'course, this kind of sucked since it turned out that I guessed a lot of it right but there were also some surprises
and, if anything, getting it right added to the thrill of watching the story unfold
Wow, downloading at 9 MB/s from Steam. I'm impressed.
Took 1 minute to download it.
I hate you. I downloaded it at 30 kbps
Also @Wipqozn in spite of their length I would definitely recommend Phoenix Wright
at least for me, they justified their cost since I replayed each game several times
Have you played the Wii versions? I've heard negative things about the controls.
23:57
No, I haven't, only the DS versions
