Deus Ex clearly hired someone (or many someones) to think exclusively about fashion in the future.
 
man
I'm so jelly

4:29 PM
@Wipqozn What do you mean?
 
So I just got a message from twitter that StackExchangeHQ was now following me.
That's unexpected.
 
@RavenDreamer It's because you're just that cool.
 
@Mana actually, I thought it meant I had won the moderator position. And the fact that the election banner is missing from the main site didn't help things.
But crises averted - at least for another two days.
 
@Oak it seems slightly random
 
Are you nervous @Raven? About the election?
 
4:34 PM
Nope.
 
I see.
 
I don't care which way things fall.
 
nods
Also, possibly two months until Homestuck updates again. BLUUUH.
 
Are you? So, ready to bedazzle the throngs of gaming with your righteous hair and can-do attitude?
Hello, @AnnaLear
 
idk man, guess we'll find out. I'M NOT SURE IF I'M READY TO TAKE ON THIS MASSIVE RESPONSIBILITY.
 
4:36 PM
@RavenDreamer Ahoy.

Q: Pixelated (blackberry game) on Android?

DiegoI want that game in my Android.. does anybody know some copy of Pixelated to Android? Here it says about "Colorised" game, but I wasn't able to find it anywhere Thanks!

 
"Sorry, currently our video library can only be watched from within the United States"
RAVEN. WHY DO YOU TORMENT ME SO. :|
 
@Mana Psst... bestfreevpn.com (no, really).
For all your US-region-locked content needs.
 
Oh? What country are you in?
 
4:42 PM
Sounds, uh, sketchy.
Canada, bro. That place up north.
 
bestfree* always triggers that scam alert inside
 
Oh well, I shall trust this best free VPN
 
@Manaಠдಠ A bit. I wouldn't do your banking on it, but it's working pretty well for streaming media stuff. I turn it on to watch stuff and right off again when I'm done.
 
@BrettWhiteΨ I requested the Gaming Promotion 2 game through Steam, and @Grace said it was OK. Of course, I bought it myself, and I'm still waiting to get reimbursed...
It would be much easier if we could just use the Steam mechanic to gift games
 
4:44 PM
@bwarner I suggested this for going forward, aye.
 
mo' money mo' problems, as my grandpa used to say.
 
@GraceNote Will it still be possible for those of us who prefer boxed versions to buy locally and get reimbursed?
 
@FallenAngelEyes That's something to ask Brett, but I believe that this is the plan, aye.
 
psh, physical media for games
 
4:46 PM
@Manaಠдಠ otherwise know as the one on top.
 
aren't we old-fashioned
 
@bwarner @BrettWhite is looking into it. He's checking to see if stack exchange has a steam account set-up.
 
Now I'm at the mercy of Amazon.com's delivery service!
@GraceNote - you wouldn't happen to know why StackExchangeHQ is following me on twitter now, do you?
 
@RavenDreamer Nope
 
@RavenDreamer If the game is late, you should blame tzenes.
 
4:49 PM
Especially since I don't have my twitter account on my profile (same email address as my openID though)
 
@RavenDreamer The only thing left to do is move to a different country, change your name, and cancel all your credit cards. ;)
 
@Well, I've already done two of those things!
I'm going by an Alias in one of my English classes this semester, and I don't have any credit cards.
So all that's left is moving to Sweeden, I guess.
Wait, maybe I want to move to Norway.
Norway or Sweeden...
What's the difference again?
 
How about Kenya? They got lions.
 
Oak
Norway's more expensive
 
@RavenDreamer Going by an alias to hide from the paparazzi that are trying to catch a glimpse of Gaming's highest rep user?
 
4:54 PM
@AnnaLear Thanks for reminding me about Powerthirst commercials.
@bwarner psh. I'm going to wear my gaming.stackexchange T-Shirt tomorrow to see if anyone recognizes the website, yet.
 
@AnnaLear Kenya believe it?
 
@Powerlord Boo....
 
@bwarner I was referencing this video. No idea if @AnnaLear was referencing that or not.
 
@Powerlord That's the one.
 
4:56 PM
@Powerlord That's what I thought AnnaLear was referencing :p
 
Don't mind me then, I'm pop-culturally challenged
 
@AnnaLear Good, I thought you were, but I wanted to make sure. :D
 
Good ol' Weebl's Stuff.
 
@RavenDreamer For reference, StackExchangeHQ is also following me on Twitter.
 
Magical Trevor is the best.
 
4:58 PM
Which is... strange, since I don't really publish my Twitter anywhere.
(and I do mean anywhere... my personal site, blog, and profiles for every site I'm on have no mention of me having a Twitter account)
 
@Wipqozn - because they're asking if the specific game has X, Y, and Z. Not asking about a generic "what game has X, Y, and Z")
 
For all the new Terraria players out there, make sure you don't make the same mistake I did last night. Shadow Orb != Demon Altar
 
@Powerlord Do you have an email-based OpenID for SE?
 
@RavenDreamer Yeah I realize this now. Hence why I deleted my messages.
 
@RavenDreamer No, but doesn't SE require you to put your email address in your profile?
 
5:01 PM
Maybe I'll make a post on meta.
Asking about it.
 
@Powerlord No
It's used for gravatar but if you don't supply an email, it's generated instead by your IP.
 
@GraceNote Email's required for unregistered accounts, though, if I recall.
 
Also - @Mana - have you heard the new homestuck album? Pretty epic.
 
So... my options are remove my email address (and I'm seriously considering this, this is the second time in less than a week that SE has apparently used my email address for things without asking me first) and lose my avatar, or leave it and get spammed by things or added on <insert service here>
 
Derse Dreamers is the musical equivalent of awesome.
 
5:03 PM
@Powerlord What was the first thing?
 
@Powerlord What was the second instance?
@Wipqozn Server Fault newsletter
 
35
Q: Please don't send me email that I didn't ask for

TimI just got this email from my friends at Stack Exchange: Hi! We haven't seen you around Server Fault for a while. We'd love to reconnect with you; attached below is a sample newsletter of a few recent interesting questions from the site. See all Stack Exchange newsletters ...

 
@GraceNote Twitter I believe
 
@Powerlord Isn't the point of Twitter to add and be added? Sort of?
 
was the first, adding my unlisted Twitter account being the second.
 
5:04 PM
@Mana - Derse Dreamers sounds like it's partly based on "Iron Man".
 
@Powerlord I'm partly averse to the first option if only because it makes it difficult for any of us human people to contact you, should the need ever arise.
 
The only mail I want is when I'm getting stuff
 
argh I hate it when the only way to get further in a game is just "suck less"
2
 
couldn't care less otherwise
 
@Grace What are these human people of which you speak?
 
5:05 PM
@FallenAngelEyes - have you tried Super Meat Boy?
 
@Manaಠдಠ The people who aren't a part of our mechanical system, of course.
 
@AnnaLear I don't actually post anything on this Twitter account. I only use it to follow my friends (and certain other peoples) tweets. Hence why I leave it unlisted anywhere.
 
@RavenDreamer Yeah, I own that. Playing Jamestown atm.

Q: Tag synonym request: [hotkeys] and [keyboard-shortcuts]

OakThere are 18 questions tagged hotkeys and 14 questions tagged keyboard-shortcuts (and of these, 3 questions share both tags). I can't quite see the difference, I really think one of these tags should be made a synonym of the other. As for which should be the primary tag, I think both are fine; I...

 
Yay, now I have a generic icon
At least on SO.
And now I will here shortly.
 
5:11 PM
@Powerlord You could just make a second e-mail that is only used for your SE account
 
@Wipqozn That's kind of annoying.
Not a bad idea, though. After all, I do own several domains.
 
Gah, finally! Sucking less achieved!
 
@FallenAngelEyes Haha, congrats.
 
Obviously, the solution was just to bitch about it in chat
 
@FallenAngelEyes Isn't that the solution to everything?

Q: Why is StackHQ following me on Twitter?

Raven DreamerI got an email today from Twitter, with the following: StackHQ @StackHQ is now following you (@NetherPhoenix). Which is sort of surprising, considering: I have only one "normal" follower (And he's related to me, anyway) I don't use Twitter all that often, and have never had any interactio...

@Powerlord check it.
 
@Wipqozn Depends on what particular activity you're partaking in. I imagine during some things, sucking less would not be ideal.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Vacuum competitions, clearly.
 
@RavenDreamer I followed you on Twitter.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I lol'd
 
@RavenDreamer Now I need to follow you!
 
5:14 PM
We should all follow @RavenDreamer!
 
@BrettWhite - you're @StackHQ?
 
@RavenDreamer It's run by CHAOS, apparently.
 
@BrettWhiteΨ Did you also follow @Powerlord?
 
Wow. In the span of 5 minutes, I've doubled my twitter followers. GG gaming. Touché.
 
5:16 PM
@RavenDreamer So now you have 4 followers?
 
@Wipqozn 5.
Though apparently one is invisible and a ninja, as it says "5 followers" and then only lists 4.
So clearly, one of you is a ninja.
 
BUT POWERLORD
WHAT ABOUT THE SPY
:(
(in reference to your new default gravatar)
 
@Manaಠдಠ Now he's just wearing a mask, just like Raven used to.
@RavenDreamer At least one of us is a ninja but I didn't follow you.
 
@AnnaLear I'd so make that an achievement.
 
@RavenDreamer It's obviously @badp
 
5:18 PM
Hey @GraceNote, if you have time there's a dozen flags I have no feelings about on Gaming
 
Woah, it's Noctrine! Hey man!!
 
@Noctrine Worth 1 GP. :)
 
given that I'm the only active mod around I could use a hand there
 
@badp - just go into hiding until Thursday.
 
Sure, I'll give a gander.
 
5:19 PM
It's mostly flags asking me to convert answers that could've been comments instead, but were made by people with enough rep to comment and thus consciously decided not to
 
Then you'll have 2 new suckers associates to help out.
 
@Manaಠдಠ The Spy will come back when I get around to adding a new email address for SE.
 
@RavenDreamer I joined the Gaming.SE stalking brigade and followed you
 
@RavenDreamer And nothing builds character quite like having to clear out a flag queue. :)
 
that reminds me, I need to follow back all you GSE peeps who followed me for Gamescom
 
5:20 PM
It amuses me that I have a different random gravatar on chat than on SO.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Excellent. Soon everyone will be following @Raven just like I planned... well except me, I don't have a twitter account.
 
Somehow, I didn't expect your color to be pale green, @Powerlord.
 
Oh look, another porn account following me blocks
 
@RavenDreamer My icon on SO is purple.
 
5:21 PM
beggars can't be choosers
 
@Powerlord You are no longer powerlord. You're just some stranger in his place.
 
@Wipqozn You all knew I was a Spy.
 
@badp Killed 4 in one shot, onto the next...
 
@badp is this you?

Q: Should there be a requirement that moderators be Christians on site "Christianity"?

badpProposal: Christianity I propose that one of the requirements for site "Christianity" should be that the moderators must be Christians. It wouldn't make any sense for someone who doesn't speak Spanish to moderate a Spanish-only Q&A site, or for someone with no science education to moderate a...

 
5:22 PM
@GraceNote C-C-C-COMBO
 
@Wipqozn He never really was on your side.
 
@NickT ಠ_ಠ
 
@GraceNote Don't you just love the Machina? Oh wait, you didn't mean in TF2.
 
@Powerlord If you need a spare, I can provide you an extra GMail. I don't even think they need invites anymore but I've got 600 to spare.
 
no, it's just a user with the same four letters in his nick.
 
5:22 PM
@Powerlord 'Twas a Charged Arrow
 
badp, Italy
693 1 11
↑ this is me
 
@GraceNote I have an entire domain.
 
yeah ,but you have all these sock puppets
 
That... works too.
 
don't know what' swhat
 
5:23 PM
I don't have sockpuppets
 
I'm never going to get rid of these invites. I can't even use them up myself fast enough.
 
apparently my thumb is slow today
 
I make temporary sockpuppets on Gaming, but I merge them immediately after
 
@GraceNote The scary part is... charged arrow can be done by the same class as gets the Machina railgun in TF2. ;D
 
@Powerlord Hah!
 
That's still me. I just changed the nick.
 
All the sniper primaries have a charge meter, the Huntsman bow charges the fastest (and is my favorite of the bunch), but it doesn't have a scope.
 
@NickT for no real reason, I assume you meant your right thumb, and then took offense at what I perceived was you being a dextro-cist.
 
You can see that by peering at the accounts tab.
@RavenDreamer but are you a dexorcist?

A: What is the real duration of the Viking's transformation?

Nick TAs you controlled for, often the reason that a group of Vikings won't finish transforming at the same time is because they're colliding with each other and/or can't find a valid space to land if it's too crowded. The latter is readily apparent if you ball them all up so they're stacked then try t...

ffs, I should have just left it deleted and made a new answer to get rid of the comments
 
5:25 PM
@GraceNote Yes, CHAOS is StackHQ and yes, I followed a handful of users today
Cease the internet explosions.
 
where is StackHQ in NYC
 
@NickT I could clean it up for you
 
I've got to see a man about a gun. Ciao.
(not really)
 
OMG I HAS BEEN HAS TEH FOLLOWEDINGS
 
@GraceNote would be nice
 
5:26 PM
@RavenDreamer Bai.
 
@NickT Done ♪
@BrettWhiteΨ I sees, I sees.
 
@NickT Financial District, near the Statue of Liberty! Well, not NEAR it because it is in the water. But we can see it.
 
so way south Manhattan?
 
@NickT Christianity hasn't even launched yet, and it's already seeing trouble from a few members about religious discrimination. I'm rather curious how long that site will last, because I see it running into alot of problems.
 
@Wipqozn Judaism doesn't seem to be causing all that much of an uproar.
 
5:29 PM
@Wipqozn I see that site lasting longer than Atheism.SE, or CodeGolf.SE (which I have no idea why it's still around)
 
@NickT Yes.
 
@GraceNote There's a Judaism site as well?
 
@BrettWhite you a NY native or move there for a yob
104
Jewish Life and Learningjudaism.stackexchange.com

Beta Q&A site for those who base their lives on Jewish law and tradition and anyone interested in learning more.

Currently in public beta.

 
@NickT I think it will outlast Atheism, but I still don't think it will last.
 
@Wipqozn Aye. It's been around for over a hundred days, and it also had an SE 1.0 import.
 
5:31 PM
@GraceNote Interesting.
 
@NickT I've lived in NYC for 5 years, as of a week ago. I moved here in 2006 for an internship with the Late Show with David Letterman...which I bring up often
 
What is your training? Writing?
 
@BrettWhiteΨ That's fairly nifty I must say.
 
@Wipqozn Thanks, I was also a page there from 2009-2010, so I got to be there for the sex scandal. Awesome times!
 
Were you a scab?
 
5:35 PM
@BrettWhiteΨ I lol'd
 
Everybody has CD cases on their desks in Deus Ex.
I thought this was supposed to be the future
Are usb drives too hard to model?
 
they're blue-ray cases, can't you tell the difference?
 
They're holodiscs, duh.
 
Whatever, man. Physical media is dead to me.
 
look at all those bits

The ending of this video brought tears to my eyes, man.

A friend of mine from Israel suggests http://www.daatemet.org/issues.cfm and in particular [
Is one who urinates from the roof of the synagogue permitted to hold his sexual organ?](http://www.daatemet.org/issues.cfm?ISSUE_ID=526) followed by [What size breasts are required for a girl to be an adult?](http://www.daatemet.org/issues.cfm?ISSUE_ID=532) (NSFW topics; no NSFW language or imagery)
No idea why that doesn't format
I'll leave that there and head out for dinner. Later.
 
Hello!
 
We now have a Steam account
6
So all your steam dreams can come true
 
@Manaಠдಠ Moral of the story: Want an awesome wedding proposal? Date a nerd.
 
@BrettWhiteΨ I'd stay that 100 times if I could.
 
@BrettWhiteΨ Forgive me for asking, but how is that particularly useful?
 
whassup @JohnGore
 
@Manaಠдಠ Hello @Mana. =]
 
@JohnGore Giving gifts.
 
5:49 PM
@badp Hm, I suppose that makes sense.
 
@JohnGore gaming promotion. We had a pin, but now it's gone.
 
@JohnGore What everyone else said.
 
@JohnGore here
 
@JohnGore So that successors don't have to deal with how predecessors who are still struggling to figure out how to transfer funds don't spend three months figuring out how to reimburse a simple Steam purchase.
 
@Wipqozn Yes yes, I'm aware. =] But thanks.
 
5:50 PM
@JohnGore Wow, already such a popular guy!
 
Have we decided on a game yet?
 
btw welcome @JohnGore
 
@badp Thanks. =]
 
@JohnGore Right now it looks like it will be either TRopico 4, or tropico 4 and another game.
@BrettWhite would know for certain though.
 
Never played Tropico. That's RTS, right?
 
5:52 PM
City builder
or whatever that genre is called
 
Isn't that a Subgenre of though?
 
I'm popping to the GMod room, @badp, see you there.
 
Also, I just noticed the new name of The Bridge. How impressively observant of me.
@JohnGore I wouldn't say so
 
Oh, hey
 
@Wipqozn Oh, that's new?
I was wondering about that.
 
5:53 PM
I am not associated with Gaming anymore. I can't enter the room without either dispensing of Yu-ri or convincing @badp to add me in there.
 
I suppose the name "The Bridge" makes more sense given the context of the room description.
 
@JohnGore the real name is The Bridge, but it is changed every so often for laughs.
 
But what's a GnomeSlice? :S
 
@JohnGore trouble.
 
GnomeSlice is a user
 
5:54 PM
@GraceNote and this, but my answer was funnier.
 
@Wipqozn That's fairly accurate.
 
Heh.
 
@Gnomeslice is basically the class clown. (you're welcome gnomeslice)
 
@Wipqozn Nothing wrong with a little humour.
 
Man, you guys need to take it easier on Gnome. :(
@JohnGore Yo, Freespace 2 is so much fun
 
5:57 PM
Earthquake in NYC
 
@Manaಠдಠ I played it a looooooong time ago. The demo came with a Joystick I bought.
 
@Manaಠдಠ I find the the humour generated by him far outweighs any annoyance he may make.
 
@BrettWhite How bad?
 
@Manaಠдಠ I dunno, but Earthquakes don't happen in NYC. 5.8 in Virginia apparently
it was felt ALL UP the east coast
everywhere
 
@BrettWhiteΨ Any parts of Canada?
 
6:00 PM
Jesus...hope people are alright.
 
@Manaಠдಠ yeah, same.
@JohnGore not in nova scotia at least
 
I'm about 2 hours from the epicenter
it was pretty grand
 
I must say, I would rather like to go home and play Bastion.
Either that or watch Batman: The Animated Series.
Either of those three options would be enjoyable.
 
@BrettWhiteΨ I didn't feel it
It's odd that it'd be centered in Virginia and hit New York, but miss us here in Western Mass. Very curious.
 
@Wipqozn Either of those three...huh? holds head
2
 
6:05 PM
Here I was, minding my own business by meddling in a bug report on Meta, and everything starts shaking...
 
@Manaಠдಠ Success. Mission accomplished.
 
Earthquake, or yo momma fell out of bed? YOU DECIDE.
facepalm
 
@arnoldkim Toronto and Ottawa too
 
@KevinY Really? I didn't feel it at all.
 
Hmm.
 
6:08 PM
Hmm. Maybe it just missed where I was.
 
Epicenter was in Virginia.
I missed it because I was driving :(
Reading back up through the logs it looks like I'm late to the party.
I missed everything good about this earthquake.
 
argh
what should I do now
I'm so bored.
I'm going to play SC2. This is awful.
 
@Manaಠдಠ You could make me a sandwich.
 
makes sandwich, reluctantly
gives sandwich to Wipqozn
 
Feel free to actually make me a sandwich, and run it over to me.
 
6:20 PM
that reminds me of a song by the Arcade Fire, called "Shut Up, Stop Being Lazy And Go Make The Damn Sandwich Yourself"
It's a good song. Nice moral, too. But the kid doesn't have time for morals. Not these days.
 
wow, friend of mine who lives in Guelph Ontario said they could feel the building swaying
that's nuts
 
@FallenAngelEyes damn, that's crazy.
 
Geez...
 
So @mana just didn't notice the earthquake?
 
apparently
but no, I'm pretty sure it just didn't reach my house.
Guelph isn't the closest place to where I am.
And none of my friends are posting about feeling it either
 
6:34 PM
Oh my. Two new kirby games this year. This is a good year.
 
@GraceNote oh dear, I didn't know. Fixed
 
@badp Still access denied
 
@badp: I'm also getting access denied
 
 
@badp you missed a '-'
 
6:39 PM
@Wipqozn No he didn't
 
@GraceNote Colour me corrected then.
 
There was just a 5.8 earthquake in Washington. Obama wanted it to be 3.4, but the Republicans wanted 5.8, so he compromised.
 
Speaking of said Earthquake, I just got this email:
> Reports of slight building movements have been reported throughout the Capitol Complex. It is suspected these movements may have been an after effect of the 5.9 magnitude earthquake that hit central Virginia this afternoon.
Capitol Complex referring to the Michigan Capitol in this context.
I didn't feel anything, though.
 
I'm sure that's probably been posted before, but wow
 
6:55 PM
@fredley just posted it earlier today :)
I SOBBED AT THE ENDING :(
 
I would watch it, but no headphones here.
