Q: Gaming Promotional Grant - Round 6 - "Rage"

If you unfamiliar with the cavalcade of fun that is The Gaming Promotional Grant, please follow the link. I present to you...Round 6! This is the first round using the results from the previous round of voting (as seen here). The 11 games that will be offered in Fall 2011 are: Elder Scrolls V:...

So how does this work?

I put my name and the game/platform I'm volunteering to play?

ie: C. Ross -> Diablo 3?

Q: Is there any reason to horde skill points?

Is there any reason to horde skill points, whether from leveling up or in the form of the occasional quest reward? Can any benefit be gained by saving the skill points for later, or are they best used immediately?

It just me or does @CRoss's small pic make him look like...

C. Ross

@NickT you know ... I really have nothing to say to that

Wipqozn

@CRoss You can only put your name in for this grant right now

if you don't want rage, you don't need to do anything

C. Ross

@Wipqozn ok, so it's Rage specific, ok

Wipqozn

00:40

@CRoss Exactly. So if the only game you want is Diablo 3, you don't need to do anything until the diablo 3 grant comes up

which probably won't be for another 3 years

Actually I really hope it comes out in either December or January, since that's been my estimated release date for nearly a year now

obviously this doesn't stop me from cracking "it will be another 3 years" jokes

C. Ross

@Wipqozn it's not the only one, but it's certainly top of mind

Wipqozn

@CRoss you can only get two games for this round remember, so keep that in mind.

C. Ross

I'm ok with waiting for it. There are plenty of cheap/free games to play in the mean time.

@Wipqozn I wouldn't have time to do more than two games.

Wipqozn

@CRoss Torchlight 2 is on the list too. Very similar to Diablo; good game to hold you over.

C. Ross

@Wipqozn yeah. I am a little wary of going up to sequels where I haven't played the previous games ...

perhaps I should just sink the $10 into torchlight

I've played this old PC game where there is only one screen of a city then falling stars/asteroids shown as lines go down on varying speeds. You have to click them for them to not hit the city. Once it hits the city, game over. It's in 2D and it's old. What is the name of this game?

Q: Launching Alliance of Valiant Arms WITHOUT Reactor or Steam

I love the game, but there is one problem. The launcher comes with a huge drawback. Reactor uses ~100mb of ram and some CPU. Steam uses ~170mb of ram and a bit more CPU. Still, 100 and 170mb are a bit too much. Is there a way to launch the game without Reactor/Steam? :-/

tactics

Powerlord

@ArdaXi If you mean in campaign mode, there's only one campaign in the base game... the Terran campaign.

Arda Xi

16:21

No, I mean in multiplayer.

@GraceNote Pretty much.

FallenAngelEyes

Adam Savage playing with Helium and Sulfur Hexafluoride

Powerlord

@badp The train is moving, while you're stationary on top of it.

Grace Note

@ArdaXi Huh. If I weren't okay since my plan was always to go MECH, I'd be rather miffed.

badp

That's only barely different from falling

Just be glad they capped the cloak drain rate. Falling used to basically completely exhaust it.

Ronan Forman

And it's call nyan cat. Recreated as Nyana cat.

Arda Xi

Is there anyone who doesn't do this?

sjohnston

@FallenAngelEyes Wow. Must purchase tank of sulfur hexafluoride

Grace Note

Account verification, you mean?

FallenAngelEyes

@sjohnston Isn't that great? XD

badp

16:24

@ArdaXi The last line I don't get it

Grace Note

No, I don't think there are many who do not do account verification anymore.

Arda Xi

@GraceNote The very last line.

Grace Note

Oh.

Arda Xi

Grace Note

Pffft.

Arda Xi

16:25

I am 16 years old. According to local law, I am personally, legally responsible for myself.

Grace Note

Which makes sense.

Arda Xi

> We believe that real-world priorities such as homework, chores, and family dinner should take precedence over entertainment - that's why we offer Parental Controls to help parents manage their teens' World of Warcraft play schedules and determine how they use the social features of Battle.net when playing online.

That's actually pretty awesome of them.

Ronan Forman

I did that too.

Arda Xi

Aren't you under-age in the UK?

Ronan Forman

I'm 16, I'm allowed to have sex but not drink...

3

Arda Xi

16:32

@RonanForman I'm allowed to both.

Hypothetically, anyway.

Powerlord

Good thing I didn't recommend one of the plugins I was looking at to Marco. forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=143410 <-- doesn't work any more

user30

drinking is bad, don't do it kids

Powerlord

@ThomasMcDonald ...but how can you have drunken sex, then? :O

Ronan Forman

I can't have sexen drink though!

Wipqozn

@RonanForman thank you sir

Ronan Forman

16:35

37 hours download!

Arda Xi

Hang on.

The Battle.net Authenticator just asked for root access.

Powerlord

@ArdaXi To your phone?

Oh right, I forgot I'd need to dig out my authenticator if I want to play SC2, as it affects more than WoW.

Arda Xi

@Powerlord Yes.

Powerlord

(I have a physical authenticator fob)

Ronan Forman

44 hours, I'm no expert but I think it should go down...

Powerlord

16:38

Anyway, sounds like HP's board is still deliberating over whether they're firing their CEO or not.

Arda Xi

@Powerlord It shouldn't need root access for anything.

Powerlord

@ArdaXi I agree.

Arda Xi

So why would it ask for it?

user30

Why not?

@Powerlord It shouldn't need root access for anything.

Arda Xi

16:40

@ThomasMcDonald Because it's invasive, unnecessary and will fail on 99% of phones.

user30

for the hell of it, that's why

user30

also rootkit

Arda Xi

Literally, what it does is run the sudo command.

Powerlord

sudo make me... oh, that joke's overplayed?

Arda Xi

Rooted phones have a daemon listening for sudo commands and provide a pop-up to allow or block.

@Powerlord A little.

Powerlord

16:46

I was just reading the stars list and just pictured my TF2 Scout wearing all my all-class Misc items at once. That's like 2 pairs of glasses, 2 medals, 2 pins, and... maybe I only have 6, I forget.

Actually, I wonder why they didn't split Misc into Face and Chest, since that's what 90% of them are.

Mana

heh, showing other people Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure never fails to be amusing

Powerlord

Lucky Number 42, Flip Flops, and Teddy Roosebelt would be forced into the Chest section likely in that split, though.

GnomeSlice

@Mana I misread 'porn' in there the first few times I double checked.

Mana

...

Powerlord

Sissy's Magical Porn Adventure? Who is Sissy again?

Is she hot?

Mana

16:48

Sissy's Magical Pornycorn Adventure

Powerlord

Wait, Sissy's a furry? EW.

Mana

...

Sissy is a five year old girl. You sick man.

bwarner

So if we're worried about people not signing up for the promotional grants because they are "saving up" for the big games, should we maybe start the signup for all 11 games now?

Marco Ceppi

<3 Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure

bwarner

That would help give people an idea at least of where the rep bar would be for each game, thus encouraging them to sign up for the ones that they would be able to qualify for

badp

16:53

can somebody join me on the Gaming.SE server and cap the first point please

I guess that means having 2 more people join me :(

I wanted to see that thing about Egypt's spawn doors in action

Powerlord

@badp er... what?

That the RED spawn doors can trap you?

Mana

I think I'm going to uninstall TF2 after this weekend's Game On!

badp

Red? I thought it was blue.

Dave McClelland

@Mana That's probably for the best. No one wants to play (games) with you anyway

Mana

...:(

badp

16:55

@Mana What's the problem? You just don't like the game or..?

Mana

No no no, I love the game.

Powerlord

@badp In stage 1, RED's point A spawn hallway has doors close on both sides after A is captured. If you're between them, you die.

Mana

But it's like...really addictive. Like, really addictive. Like I started playing TF2 at 2:00 PM yesterday and, besides eating, wound up doing absolutely nothing else for the rest of the day.

Powerlord

(or get stuck, but I think it kills you, since there's no escape)

@Mana And you wondered how I clocked 1500 hours in 3.5 years in it?

Ronan Forman

I was wondering whose IP are question and answers here?

So can somebody join the server real quick?
