5:01 PM
@Powerlord I've never read Dante's Inferno to be honest.
It's on my to do list.
 
@Wipqozn It's the last part of this work:
The Divine Comedy (Italian: Divina Commedia) is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321. It is widely considered the preeminent work of Italian literature, and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature. The poem's imaginative and allegorical vision of the afterlife is a culmination of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church. It helped establish the Tuscan dialect in which it is written as the standardized Italian. It is divided into three parts, the Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. On the surface, the poem ...
 
mhm I know
@powerlord IT's a couple thousand pages, correct?
 
@GraceNote Did you ever get what you needed from when you pinged me, mana, and badp, yesterday?
 
@RavenDreamer I did but you can pop into the Game Dev room and read up if you want.
It'll shed some light into that whole part where I kept telling you to go to Game Dev
 
@GraceNote When was that?
 
5:08 PM
About 2-3 scrolls upwards
 
@GraceNote oh that is pretty darn nifty.
 
@Wipqozn Wh... why did I get pinged for that?
 
@GnomeSlice Because. Stop asking questions! Curiosity killed the cat!
2
 
So I see.
 
@GnomeSlice Lazy tab completion
 
5:13 PM
@GraceNote ?
 
@GnomeSlice Because he did "@G" then hit tab, and the N in Gnomeslice > the R in Grace Note.
 
@g + = gnomeslice
 
@RavenDreamer Aha.
 
@GnomeSlice Wip typed "G", hit tab, then picked the first name without even confirming that he might be doing something stupid.
 
Silly Wipqozn.
 
5:14 PM
you logged in the room shortly before I did it, was rather annoying.
Wipqozn is awesome.
 
@GraceSlice is annoying! Or would that be @GnomeNote?
 
How does the starred message list know when to show the Pinged name or not?
It always seems to get it right.
 
All I know is that I'm a chocolate slut... er... wait, that doesn't make sense without the TNG reference from yesterday
 
@GnomeSlice It doesn't show it when it is a reply.
 
@Powerlord How do you like your ice?
 
5:16 PM
@GnomeSlice will show it but...
@GnomeSlice will not
 
@GnomeSlice cold.
 
@Powerlord Extra cold.
 
@GnomeSlice I love terribly dry jokes.
 
The part where she takes a bit of whatever she's eating and goes ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! gets me every time.
 
or terribly wet in this case.
 
5:17 PM
@Wipqozn Don't think you got the reference.
 
@GnomeSlice I don't.
 
Oh, the big chocolate slut comment? I knew that,but didn't know the erst.
mostly because I didn't pay much attention to the video.
 
Whoa, that's cool! Can I call ya shirley?
Romulans scared the shit out of me and they're all over the ship!
 
Dear Nintendo: Instead of just re-releasing your N64 games as new 3DS games, have you considered actually making new games for it?
4
 
5:22 PM
I'm really not sure what to make of these videos.
@Powerlord I concur.
Re-making OOT was a good idea, since people have been wanting on for years, and it's been long enough since the original to justify it.
However you need to balance that out with, you know... new games too
 
So @Raven, have you decided to purchase Desktop Dungeons yet?
 
@Wipqozn And their next great game after Ocarina of Time for the 3DS was... Star Fox 64 3DS.
 
Despite the beta crashing on me fairly regularly, I keep coming back for more.
 
@bwarner When have I ever expressed an interest in it?
 
Wasn't that you? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.
 
5:25 PM
@Powerlord Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario Land 3DS were announced to be coming out this year.
 
@bwarner As you dance to the Masochism Tango?
 
@Powerlord See, the ironic part for me is that they never released Diddy Kong Racing 64.
 
@Powerlord I might pick that up at some point, since I never played Star Fox 64. Or any other star fox game for that matter...
 
Well, they did for the Nintendo DS, but it was such a shitty remake. They destroyed the greatest game of all time.
 
Is it just me, or are the animations on the Diablo III community site really crappy?
 
5:26 PM
Space Channel stopped airing Star Trek Deep Space 9 again
 
@Wipqozn I'm sure I've seen it on recently.
 
Shame. Was rather fond of it.
 
Also, that's my least favourite series.
 
@GnomeSlice They just stopped it.
I think they stopped it just this week in fact.
 
@Powerlord It sucks when it happens right when I'm about to complete a quest. But then I decide "Oh well, that gives me an excuse to play just one more round..."
 
5:27 PM
@Wipqozn Space channel with who though? Bell?
 
@GnomeSlice Slight problem there... the studio that did Diddy Kong Racing is owned by Microsoft now.
 
@Powerlord Yeah, I know.
 
@GnomeSlice The Space Channel. The only one.
 
That would be why it was so bad.
 
@Powerlord REmember when Rare was good?
 
5:27 PM
Frozen Synapse will not save my email preference.
If I set it to 'do not receive email', it works, but the next time I open the program I have to set it again, or it resets to 'receive email'. :/
 
@Wipqozn Yes.
What was the last good game from Rare? Kameo?
 
@Powerlord I rather liked the new Banjo Kazooie.
 
@Powerlord I never played Kameo, so I can't comment (before I owned a 360)
@GnomeSlice Nuts & Bolts?
 
@GnomeSlice You did? :/
 
While disappointing as a continuation of the series, it deserves a lot of credit as a standalone game.
@Wipqozn Yes.
 
5:31 PM
@GnomeSlice This was the problem though. The Banjo & Kazooie name was obviously just slapped on for sales. So it was also just a slap in the face, not to mention an insult, to fans.
 
I didn't like that game. I tried, but I do not like Racing or Lego games, and this was a combination of both.
 
@Wipqozn Yes, I agree, but even as such, I don't think the game would have been quite as appealing with a different theme.
It does have issues though.
The levels are far, far too small.
Once you get all of the parts, your vehicles will cross most of them in ~10 seconds.
And most the the stages are just too hard to get around easily with any vehicle of any kind of speed.
You can't create a new save file without deleting your old one either.
 
As far as I'm concerned, there are only two Banjo-Kazooie games.
 
@Powerlord Yeah, me too, I don't really count N&B as a continuation to the series.
I must say though, I did quite enjoy the character direction for Klungo in the new one.
 
I think Blizzard has been making the same game for years, now.
Every game is the same.
 
5:34 PM
@Powerlord @GnomeSlice What about Grunty's Revenge?
 
@Wipqozn Well, I suppose. I never played that one. Also there was the laughable Banjo Pilot.
I do own that one.
 
@Wipqozn OK, three games.
 
Flying over grass or other rough terrain slows down your airplane.
 
@GnomeSlice It wasn't that bad, although it was weird playing a 2D Banjo-Kazooie.
 
@GnomeSlice Makes sense to me.
 
5:35 PM
@RavenDreamer Starcraft and Diablo are the same?
 
@GnomeSlice I wouldn't count Pilot, since it's just a pure spin-off title. IT would be like considering Mario Kart a Mario game.
 
Also, once you unlock Bottles, you're forced to play as him. He's so ridiculously unfair, that if the AI uses him, you don't have a chance.
 
@bwarner Diablo is warcraft is world of warcraft
And starcraft is warcraft, and titans are xel'naga
and what have you

Q: How long can vines grow in Minecraft?

WarfaceWhen placing a vines, how long can they reach in height and width ? Does it need to be on a wood or tree and near water too ?

 
I should look for a copy of Grunty's Revenge.
 
5:37 PM
@RavenDreamer Hmm, Diablo and World of Warcraft are definitely very similar. But I have a hard time drawing the line to Warcraft itself. Even with heroes, they were a relatively minor part of the game.
 
I've never used an emulator of any kind. Should I just try that instead?
 
@GnomeSlice We're not allowed to answer that question, because it would be encouraging something illegal.
 
@bwarner Emulators are illegal?
 
Emulators have very few legal uses.
 
Oh. Guess that's out then.
 
5:39 PM
Also, the Witch Doctor looks pretty awesome
 
@GnomeSlice Technically not, but using them to play a game you don't own definitely is, so they won't help your situation.
 
Well, that's a shame.
 
6:15 PM
How pointlessly tragic.
 
Shit, I changed something in 3Ds max, and now I can't scale things in only one direction, or rotate
And I can't figure out how to put it back, which means I have to wait until Friday to ask my prof.
And waste an entire week.
 
You're in school?
 
@Mana No, at home.
 
@GnomeSlice Google it?
2
 
oh
 
6:21 PM
you could also uninstall it and re-install it
 
@Wipqozn Given the nature of the problem I'm having, it would be hard to google.
 
@GnomeSlice Worth a shot though.
@GnomeSlice here
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, that's not it.
 
@GnomeSlice Why not email your professor?
 
I can rotate stuff, but only on one axis.
@DaveMcClelland I don't know how to describe this issue
An error as occurred and the application will now close
 
6:25 PM
@GnomeSlice I don't know anything about 3Ds max, but I assume it outputs some sort of file. Why not email that to him?
 
ಠ_ಠ
@DaveMcClelland It's not the file. I started a new one, because I thought it might have been.
 
@GnomeSlice You described it to us to some degree. THrow in a few screen shots, and I'm sure he would get the idea.
 
@GnomeSlice Oh, that's unfortunate
 
I had this problem yesterday and couldn't figure it out, so I shut it down for the day, figuring rebooting the software later would revert it to the standard whatever-I-changed.
 
You could also just record a video of the problem and upload it to youtube, then send him the link.
 
6:26 PM
@Wipqozn That would take a while.
Also, it would be really tiny.
I'll try uninstalling it, I guess.
 
@GnomeSlice Not if you used a desktop recording device of some sort.
 
@Wipqozn I meant the uploading part.
 
@GnomeSlice ah
 
No, I think I'll email him.
 
@GnomeSlice you go girl.
 
6:32 PM
@Wipqozn ಠ_ಠ
I hate when I'm taking a poop and the dog is all, "BARK! BARK! BARK! That's my poop, Mister. Put it down."
 
@GnomeSlice 8 ╘■"`? ↓♀#NU5╢벪♦
Hello @BrettWhite
 
@Wipqozn have you listened to either of those mixsets yet?
 
@GnomeSlice I listened to a few songs from each.
 
@Wipqozn =[
 
The more hippy one was enjoyable, but I don't see myself ever listening to the whole thing.
The second one was chiptunes... right? :/ From youtube?
I can't recall now
 
6:44 PM
@Wipqozn Wh... no.
Well, I linked that too.
 
@GnomeSlice okay, don't recall the second one at all then.
I had a few different songs being linked by people yesterday, easy to mix them up.
 
@Wipqozn I was talking about Neon Velcro 2.
 
@GnomeSlice ah okay
I think I listened to a couple songs
 
@Wipqozn Hiya
 
whassup gamebros
 
6:46 PM
@Mana Super Gamio Bros?
 
Is anyone going to be around in 1 hr 15 min to close down the Fall Gaming thread?
 
@Mana for me? Supper! Ribs thumbs up
Very, very early supper at that mind you
 
or not even close it down, but tally the results (taking into account dastardly downvotes)
 
toodles all
 
I'll probably be dealing with the SE podcast, won't be able to get to it
 
6:47 PM
@BrettWhiteΨ I should be around
Glad to help out if I;'m around
Need to go afk for now though
 
@Wipqozn Thanks!
 
@BrettWhiteΨ I'll try to remember, too, but I may be doing actual work at work
 
I will be around.

I will be human shaped.

6:50 PM
also Minecraft
 
@DaveMcClelland Thanks!
 
@DaveMcClelland Pffffffffffffffft.
 
@GnomeSlice I know, what am I thinking trying to do work
 
Silly you.
 
7:19 PM
@DaveMcClelland Wait, what? You do work at work?
I play Solitaire and take acting lessons online!
Soon I'll have my University of Phoenix acting degree!
 
@Powerlord I like to think I'm an effective employee. But with distractions like Gaming.se it's difficult
 
@DaveMcClelland I can't access Gaming from work.
 
@Powerlord That's tragic

Q: How would a Gold Farming company get my account and password?

ray023A couple of years ago, I got bored of wandering around aimlessly in WoW and cancelled my account. This morning, I got an e-mail saying my account had be been banned. Reason given: Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy This was a surprise to me; especially when I discovered it was a l...

Q: Seriously? A screenshot service?

BobbyI stumbled upon this question: Does anyone have pictures from the ending? I mean, I'm not a very active member of this site, so I'm trying to speak like one, therefor I can't see the down- and close-votes on that question...but is Gaming really a screenshot service?

 
7:36 PM
Ugh, this version of RDP supports /span but not /multimon
Every time I try to maximize a window, it spans across both monitors.

A: Setting priority for Twitter #hashtags from question tags

badpThe twitter bot uses the same algorithm for choosing the main tag as the website does when deciding what tag to stick at the start of the question: pick the one with the most question count. If that tag is pc instead of deus-ex-human-revolution, it's too bad. As such this post is kind of a dupli...

another good reason why the overarching meta tags (, , ) are bad
 
7:54 PM
I'm experimenting with conjoined weapons in HammerFight again.
Some combinations actually aren't too bad.
 
Such as?
 
Pickaxe + Empire is actually pretty decent.
I still think most weapon combinations work better when you don't 'conjoin' them though.
 
Do flags count against the person being flagged?
 
Mmhmm
 
Oh, then I won't do what I was about to
 
7:57 PM
I was directing that at @GnomeSlice
 
@GraceNote or @Mana - Can one of you close the fall gaming thread for Brett?
 
@GraceNote Have you played?
 
@DaveMcClelland It doesn't make an official or damaging mark.
@GnomeSlice What platform is it on?
 
@GraceNote Ah. Either way, I won't flag it. It originally seemed an easier way for one of the mods to get to the thread
 
@GraceNote PC.
It's an indie game.
 
7:58 PM
What would I close it as? Too localized?
 
I'll look into it. What kind of game is it? I hear you on about it and it does seem interesting. I'll also need a store to grab it...
 
Not that I guess it matters.
 
@Mana I don't know, he asked someone to either close it or at least count the votes
1 hour ago, by Brett White Ψ
Is anyone going to be around in 1 hr 15 min to close down the Fall Gaming thread?
 
Oh, right, that deal
 
8:00 PM
@GraceNote I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further.
 
@GnomeSlice I'll give it a gander when I get off work, then
 
hokay, vote counting time
 
I remembered something! I'm a helper!
 
Thanks Dave!
Keep on being the coolkid that you are
 
Glad I could be of assistance
 
user30
8:01 PM
yay personal statement
 
Should I discard Diablo 3 from the poll results...? We don't even have any idea about it coming out in December and quite frankly I doubt it
Oh well, guess I'll throw it in there with a star
 
user30
@Mana Nes.
 
user30
hmm, I only have 95gb on this drive

could quickly go the way of my laptop, I guess

user30
8:06 PM
why do I even have AutoCAD installed?
 
Oh man, it's been so long since I used just a Pickaxe.
This is awesome.
 
@DaveMcClelland @Mana Yeah, sorry, still in the podcast. Can someone work their magic?
 
@BrettWhiteΨ @Mana is on the case
 
@DaveMcClelland Excellent! Thanks!
 
@BrettWhiteΨ Say my name in the podcast!
 
user30
8:07 PM
stand up for Gaming.
 
@BrettWhite Do you only want the top 10 or should I grab the results for the rest of them too?
 
@Mana If you can grab all that'd be good? Or top 20 (there aren't more than 20 right)? Just in case I need them later on
Thanks!

Sorry to bug you again. Oh, hey, I should check out the podcast.
 
@Mana Spider-Man Edge of Time! Noooo! :( Also X-Men too, nooo
 
Can you listen to the podcast live?
 
8:15 PM
@Mana I'm glad to see that Mojang game won
 
@Mana Also, thanks a ton!!!
 
Oh, whoops, forgot to note what the star was for
 
I think I know what's happening in Hammerfight when you disappear.
If someone throws a throwing weapon at you, and it sticks to you, when you grab it, it disappears, and so do you.
 
hammer fight multiplayer yet?
 
@Loktar Only local.
 
8:17 PM
ah, wish theyd add network mp :?
 
Yeah, that would be fun.
The game is designed to completely stop when you switch windows, they'd have to change that to do network play.
 
you still playing Galcon?
 
I'm assuming Diablo 3 won't be out before December, so we mine as well cut it from the list
 
yeah physics over the network are a bit trickier as well
 
@Loktar I suck at it. :P
 
8:19 PM
yeah me too lol, I moved on pretty quick from it
fun game though
ah wait youve ben playing frozen synapse lately right?
 
@Loktar Yes.
 
I think I saw it pop up on steam a few times
yeah that game is hard too...
 
Yeah.
 
really cool concept though
 
I don't play most of my games through Steam.
 
8:24 PM
well snap
the new kirby game comes out next week
one of them, anyways
 
I love Kirby games.

Q: How to remove a steam game *Completely*

Lg102I like how steam presents my library to me. However there is one thing that keeps annoying me every time i open steam: the Team Fortress 2 beta. I don't wan't to have that, yet it is always in my games list. Is there a way to permanently remove games from my steam account? (As in, gone forever, n...

 
As do I @GnomeSlice, as do I.
 
user30
yay uninstalling stuff.
 
@Lazers I haven't heard of a way to do it.
 
8:39 PM
@Lazers Format
Oh, that isn't even about deleting the files. Boo
 
@DaveMcClelland No, if you own TF2, TF2 Beta is also added to your Steam library.
 
@Powerlord Right - I hadn't read the description originally. A problem indeed
 
Wait, how does that work now that TF2 is free?
Hmm, almost time to depart.

Q: How do I unlock the Onion Knight in the iOS version of Final Fantasy III?

Mark TrappIn the original Final Fantasy III, Onion Knights were the default class. When the game was remade for the Nintendo DS, Freelancers became the default class and Onion Knights were unlocked via a secret quest involving the Mognet. When this remake was ported to iOS devices, Mognet was removed. How...

 
I did a LMEC already.
 
8:44 PM
@Lazers ...there's an iOS version?
 
Although I guess it's not last minute yet...
 
@GraceNote Apparently, I need to get my hands on that.
 
@ThomasMcDonald ...What.

@GnomeSlice ...
 
8:54 PM
@ThomasMcDonald Is that new?

Yes

And there's the ones with him shooting whales, doing judo, arm-wrestling, riding a horse, in a tank, playing hockey, in a submersible, meeting with a biker gang leader...

@Wipqozn get a toaster with a timer, I hear they make better toast; much more consistent
@DaveMcClelland at my former employer, their 1-month password change policy also included some similarity checking so you couldn't just do 'password1', 'password2', etc., but I ended up figuring out you could do '1password', '22password', '333password'
my old school had something where you couldn't reuse your last 3 passwords, but you could change it immediately, so I'd quick cycle through 3 other passwords then go back to what it was
Said employer was something like 1) couldn't use any of the last 5 passwords, 2) couldn't be too similar, 3) had to have letter, number, symbol, 4) had to be a minimum of 2 days old (to prevent the above)
 
My current employer keeps password records for a long time. I don't think the password I used when I started there 3 years ago can be used again yet.
