Weekend!
 
10:12 PM
oh yes, @badp
I think it was you awhile ago that said saturday/sunday should be the last days of the week, since it's called the weekend, end of the week, et cetera
meant to say it then but was too lazy but
You could also view weekend to mean the ends of the week, in which case the term weekend would still make sense when applied to saturday/sunday if the week starts on a sunday
I assume I've shaken your world apart, and have set you into a wild rage
 
@badp Couldn't you just close the game?
using the task manager or shutting off the computer would be two easy ways to do that
 
@RavenDreamer Negative, I am not a CS nerd, I just play one on TV. Also, Mac nerd.
 
@RavenDreamer And Warlock S3 wings don't actually fly.

Q: How does the dual-wielding mechanic work?

mordi2kI was trying out the dual-wielding in Diablo 3, when I noticed really strange. When I equipped my off-hand, which has 0.5 less damage than my main-hand. My overall damage actually went down. So my question is, how does the dual-wielding mechanic work for calculating damage? It seems rather odd th...

 
@badp ah okay
I agree with him though, you don't need to go to those measures. IF someone is going to work around it like that, what's the point of hardcore mode to begin with?
 
oh dear
 
On the same note, having the work around is nice if you made this really awesome world, and you would like to save it to show off, et cetera
 
> Changelog 1.9.1: Fixed hardcore mode always on. Oops.
lol
 
@badp l o l
wait a minute, 1.9 is out
or just the nightly build?
 
10:17 PM
1.9pre afaik
and it doesn't have this option
Addendum:

I really should get around to playing 1.8 for more then 10 minutes
@badp yeah, @GnomeSlice shared that earlier. Pretty awesome.
 
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Bad news, the game over screen now says "Score: 0" instead of "Score: &0". :(
*&e0
 
also, this:
 
@Wipqozn This more than that
 
@badp Agreed, but the first one fit better with the "noooooooooooooo"
the vader was mostly linked due to being hilariously bad
probably the funniest scene in the prequels
 
10:24 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't think the daggers let you actually fly... though now that I think about it, that's both possible, and awesome.
@badp Didn't you already link that several hours ago?
 
@RavenDreamer Don't see why not, given that Tarecgosa does.
 
4 mins ago, by Wipqozn
@badp yeah, @GnomeSlice shared that earlier. Pretty awesome.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, I was thinking, "They don't have flying mounts in storm... oh wait."
 
nite
 
Au revoir
 
10:25 PM
@RavenDreamer Yeah, that, and the Legendary Staff in the current tier, Tarecgosa, allows it's owner to transform into a Blue Dragon flight form.
And given that these daggers are tied up w/ the Black flight... a Black Dragon flight form makes sense.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I thought I had already agreed with you, but apparently I didn't actually type that yet.
So:
I agree with you.
 
So... Yes, fucking BATMAN.
 
Anyway, know that we're both here... did you see my question earlier, @LessPopMoreFizz?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Still excited about the rogue?
 
@RavenDreamer And answered it.

@RavenDreamer Negative, I am not a CS nerd, I just play one on TV. Also, Mac nerd.
@Wipqozn Seriously considerring resubbing and getting back up to speed with mine...
 
10:28 PM
Does anyone play DIPRIP anymore?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz have they released any information aside from the picture?
It could just turn out to be some shitty 30 second transformation every hour
 
@Wipqozn Just of the lore variety.
@Wipqozn It could be, but it's a Legendary, and they've set the bar fairly high w/ Tarecgosa.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ah I see. I haven't been following WoW for a while.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ah, missed it. Sorry, and thanks.
 
@RavenDreamer I'm one of those wierdos that found my way here without being an SO user.
And the last programming course I took was Comp Sci AP back in my Junior year of High School. And I'm one of the older folks who hangs around here at Gaming.SE, so that should tell you something.
 
10:33 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, actually, the reason I asked you in the first place is because you had some choice words when I mentioned I was looking for an .ogg player.
 
@RavenDreamer I am not a comp sci nerd, but I am a music nerd that cares deeply about quality audio formats.
 
Fair enough, my audiophile friend. Fair enough.

Q: Do I need to get all puzzle pieces in Braid?

AlexFor example in the first level I got like 10 out of 12 pieces, so I didn't complete the puzzle, but I could still go to the next level. So how do the puzzles work? Can I get them all into one level, or do I need to go trough the next levels and the come back with magic or something to get the f...

 
Only if you want to get to the last level, @Lazers
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Me too!
 
10:42 PM
@FallenAngelEyes High five!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Woo!
 
@wipqozn No I didn't...
@FallenAngelEyes WOOL.
 
@GnomeSlice I thought it was you that linked it...
Oh well, life goes on.
anyways, time to play some TF2
 
@FallenAngelEyes /waves
 
10:48 PM
@RavenDreamer o/
 
@RavenDreamer lol
 
And now I go in search of sustenance.
To the hunger cave!
 
@RavenDreamer AKA the Fridge?

Q: Underground Dirt and Gravel

Brendan BettsIs dirt and gravel underground supposed to be a an indication of something (eg. minerals or ores) or is it just placed there when the world is generated just for the hell of it?

Q: Old Game about administer the hell

GamerOfHellI have been googling around without success about a an old game . In this game you could build your hell with some dungeons. This dungeons all put together converted themselves into bigger ones. It was a economy game. You had some indicators about your hell. It was a non ending game and there w...

 
11:04 PM
@Wipqozn your comment is a) something of a spoiler and b) obvious
2
A: Do I need to get all puzzle pieces in Braid?

Mr SmoothYou can progress to the next level whenever you reach the end of the current level (no matter how many puzzle pieces you got). However, to progress to the final level (up the ladder in the house) you will need to complete each puzzle board as each board completed adds another piece of ladder tha...

 
@NickT it might be obvious, but he was still wrong
and the person asking the question wouldn't know that
 
actually your comment just doesn't make sense
"that you can until collecting"
 
@NickT oh
meant to say can't, not can
 
can't get?
 
@NickT yes, and other
I fixed it

> In 43% of observed cases, two lobotomites will fight for dominance, or inject bodily fluids into each others orifices. Unsanitary. I have tried to observe more cases, but subjects seem unwilling to release bodily fluids in my presence.
 
...Are you watching that again?
 
@GnomeSlice No, I'm playing it. That bit of dialog comes from another conversation.
 
@Wipqozn Not only is he wrong, the guy asking the question was specifically talking about the level you mentioned (2-1).
 
indeed
 
Counter-intuitively, in Braid, the hub world is world 1, the first action stage is 2-1.
 
11:33 PM
Bleah, I should work on my TF2 extension, but now I don't feel like it. :/
I BLAME @Mana!
 
You should always blame @Mana!
3
What could possibly go wrong?
Okay... who the heck pinned that? :/
perplexed
 
> pinned by LessPop_MoreFizz 2 mins ago
 
Did not know he had the power to mess with my mind.
 
@RavenDreamer But one of my many talents.
 
11:50 PM
But wait! There's more!
 
@Wipqozn Any tips for sniper?
 
@RavenDreamer It Slices! It Dices! It Julienne Fries!
 
@Mana Be awesome.
 
@Mana Remember that they can see your laser pointer.
 
@Mana Seriously though, the most imporant thing is to be a quick shot
and to find a good spot: good field of vision, but has cover you can duck behind if you need to
 
11:56 PM
@Mana Tips? Headshots do more damage. Or did you not mean that basic?
Listen for Spy decloaking sounds (and footsteps in general near you)
 
@Powerlord this is very important
the spy is easily your worst enemy
that and other snipers
 
Heck, the Sniper vs. Spy update gave Sniper two new items for dealing with Spies (Razorback, which blocks a backstab, and Jarate which causes attacks to do more damage/makes it so cloaking is useless)
 
Also, you need to know when to go for a headshot or a bodyshot. Never go for a headshot when a bodyshot will do.
 
I suck at Sniper, so I tend to use the Huntsman bow and be more aggressive.
 
choosing the correct targets is also really imporant.
That's true for all classes, but really important for sniper
