Medics are harder to headshot than heavies, but they also have a lot less hitpoints.
Medics have just enough HP that the standard sniper rifle won't always bodyshot them to death at full charge.
Unless they're using the Vitasaw, in which case they only have 140... :P
I think a fully charged bodyshot does 150ish, affected by the damage spread.
 
@powerlord I need a price check
 
@Powerlord Scouts, engineers, and spies can all die to fully charged body shots
Snipers too, maybe?
 
@RavenDreamer Yup.
 
@Powerlord Sun-on-a-Stick
 
@Wipqozn What makes you think I'd know? :O
 
12:04 AM
You're @Powerlord?
 
wheeeeeeeee, number one on my team!
 
To be honest, Sun-on-a-stick is ridiculously situational.
 
would a scrap + 1 weapon be a good deal?
 
How often is a Scout going to be meleeing an on-fire enemy?
 
I don't even use scout :P
 
12:04 AM
@Wipqozn Are you selling it or buying it?
Good luck getting a scrap + weapon.
I forget, does Soldier have 200 or 250 health?
It's funny, I can remember the health of every other class (125 for Scout, Engineer, Sniper, and Spy, 150 for Medic, 175 for Pyro, 200 for Demoman, and 300 for Heavy) but not Soldier.
 
@Powerlord got 4 weapons :P
someone wanted to buy it from me and all
 
@Powerlord 200, demo man is 175
 
2 from pyro, and 2 soldier
 
@RavenDreamer You sure? I thought Demoman was only 175 with the Eyelander equipped.
 
@Powerlord That knocks him down to 155 or however many
@Powerlord Yea, I'm sure.
 
12:10 AM
Oh, maybe it's because I tend to use Ali Baba's Wee Booties, which has +25 health
 
@Mana I love how low my score is this round because of the trading
 
@Powerlord That'd do it

Q: Pouring Lava and Water from a bucket

camiloqpI've got a weird problem all of a sudden. As of yesterday, I've noticed a problem: I can't pour items from a bucket correctly. I can pick water and lava up, but when I go to pour them, it simply disappears and nothing happens. I can however click again and get the lava/ water back up in the bucke...

 
12:34 AM
damn :(
 
Why does Valve have scramble disabled on their servers?
 
12:45 AM
Welp, I'm coming to Game On! :D Quick, @Powerlord, teach me everything there is to know about TF2. :P
 
he can't atm, he's playing TF2
 
Why does that not surprise me. I guess you're stuck with me @Mana. :P
 
FORK TF2.
 
@GnomeSlice Nice job turning a near flag into a lol.
 
@John Pft.
WHO EDITED THAT.
 
12:52 AM
Oh nvm @GnomeSlice. Very good anonymous mod.
 
So, Zuckerberg is worth another $10 billion? Call me when he dumps it all into a personal, never-ending war on crime and I’ll be impressed.

Heh.
 
@John bows
 
@GnomeSlice Well, if you buy the argument that crime is largely the result of poor education... news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-20017357-36.html
 
I mean
slips into innuendo mode
Wait. Not innuendo.
What's that other I word that means secretive?
 
@RavenDreamer PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN
 
12:56 AM
slips into inconspicuous mode
 
@RavenDreamer I knew it was you from the edit history, but didn't want to give you away. applauds
 
@RavenDreamer I would tell you, but I'm waiting until Innuendo becomes uneditable
and no, Inconspicuous is not the one you want.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm a mod. I can always edit it.
At least, I think...
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz What's wrong with inconspicuous?
 
@RavenDreamer There's a point where it becomes an abuse of power though. :P
@John It's not the word he was looking for.
He wanted Incognito
 
12:57 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz To fix typos?
@LessPop_MoreFizz I...
HOW ARE YOU IN MY BRAIN?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oooh you're right that one is better.
 
@RavenDreamer WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL.
WE CONTROL THE VERTICAL.
 
are you guys getting weird lag spikes on that server, too?
I got killed at least once due to them
 
yeah
 
@Powerlord yeah, I am
 
1:08 AM
@Powerlord On the TF2 server?
 
or was anyways, I stopped playing
@MarcoCeppi no, a valve one
mana was playing, and I joined him, then simon joined (who left), then powerlord joined
 
Ah, kk. I'm going to be power cycling the tf2.sg server a few times tonight to get all the mods etc setup for tomorrow
 
@Powerlord that's why I like the machina. You can body shot them.
I have since left though
oh my, up to 12 people for game on tomorrow
I assume @badp is joining as too, and just didn't register, making 13
hopefully @ArdaXi is also planning to attend and just didn't bother registering glares at arda
 
What are we playing?
 
@GnomeSlice TF2
part of the reason I keep asking if you've finished installing TF2
 
1:14 AM
@Wipqozn ...I see.
 
It would be nice if you joined us and what not
 
@Wipqozn No, for so many reasons.
 
@Wipqozn I have a +1 on Sunday - he's just stupid and doesn't join Stack Exchange
 
@MarcoCeppi I have a possible +1 as well
although I actually got him to join stack exchange a couple days ago
 
PLAY SSBSBHSD.
=[
 
1:18 AM
so he's not a technical +1...?
 
@Mana I kinda got tired of playing KOTH maps.
 
@Powerlord I love KOTH
right now anyways
every so often I find I get in the mood to play nothing but KOTH
also, afk for 50 minutes get (or all night)
 
3 mins ago, by GnomeSlice
PLAY SSBSBHSD.
 
Maybe if that were a more intelligible acronym...
 
@RavenDreamer super smash brothers <some internet game>
 
1:26 AM
@Wipqozn That's about what I got
 
@RavenDreamer he was talking about it in here the other day
If he dropped a link I would take a look, but alas
 
Super Smash Land is better
 
@Mana jeez mana, way to try and steal @GnomeSlice's glory
 
also how is Powerlord so good holy crap
 
oh god yes
 
1:28 AM
I felt like I was having a good time as Scout but he was just dominating as Spy
 
I'm pretty sure he spends as much time playing TF2 as he does breathing
Yeah, you were doing well @Mana
 
Thanks man!
You are a very friendly and loving person.
 
@Mana why thank you sir!
I agree, I'm rather fancy.
Not to mention totally handsome.
 
You are rather handsome. But not as handsome as Arda in his suit.
2
 
Agreed.
What classes have you tried so far and liked ?
 
1:32 AM
Scout feels the most fun for me but I think I want to get better at either medic, sniper, or spy
 
@Mana I have a lot of practice spying on a server where Spying is actually hard.
 
I just don't get Engineer at all.
 
@Mana Not a fan of scout, but I play all of the other classes
 
Also, I suck at Spy. Like, a lot.
 
@Mana everyone does at first
 
1:33 AM
@Mana Spy requires that you know the map.
 
No one starts off good as spy
 
I mean, really requires.
 
Also, it's just so confusing. I'll run into an enemy and I'll be like ENEMY! NEED TO BACK AWAY!
 
I'm not that good of a spy either, although I do have my moments.
 
and then they're like why the heck is this guy on my team running away from me and then they shoot me and I die.
 
1:34 AM
Also, pro-tip: pressing "-" will let you disguise as team mates.
 
The Dead Ringer makes Spy a bit different to play, as you no longer can cloak before reaching enemies.
But, when you disguise as an ally, "dying" with the Dead Ringer out makes a corpse of that class drop. :)
 
@Powerlord I know, I love it.

@Mana words of wisdom
 
Screw you, TF2.
 
1:36 AM
@GnomeSlice Someones grumpy.
 
@GnomeSlice Join us. @_@
 
@Powerlord I concur.
 
@Powerlord I've been over this.
 
But yeah, Engineer. Didn't @badp write a blog post about it?
 
@Powerlord yeah, he did
 
1:38 AM
Although @badp hates mini-sentries, despite them being really good on KOTH maps.
 
I read that, actually.
 
@Powerlord Yeah, agreed. Normal sentries are rather excellent if you can get them up in a good spot, however in KOTH that's very difficult to do
 
@Wipqozn In Harvest, the first round I switched to Engineer, I topped the scoreboard on the winning team using minis.
 
@Powerlord Yeah, I noticed that.
 
1:41 AM
Unfortunately, they countered that the next round by having a bunch of Heavies
 
Like I said, mini's are good, but sentries are still useful in KOTH
 
Mini-sentries are terrible against Heavies.
 
@Powerlord if by terrible, you mean completely useless, then yes.
 
@Wipqozn Not completely. Not if you have crits on your Frontier Justice. :)
 
@Powerlord true!
 
1:43 AM
Frontier Justice isn't quite as useful with the normal sentry.
Mainly because, usually you'll die at the same time as your level 3.
 
@Powerlord it can border on useless even
@Powerlord exactly
I normally will just stick with the frontier anyways
when you have a level 3 sentry out you normally don't use a shotgun that much anyways
the situations in which you would really need to pull it out are against spies, in which case it is fine on all it's own, or if you sentry can't handle an enemy
 
@Mana: If you wonder what we mean by Mini-sentries, equipping the Gunslinger in the Engineer melee slot replaces your normal sentry gun with a mini, which does slightly less damage then a level 1 sentry, can't be repaired or upgraded, but builds faster and costs less metal.
 
if it can't handle an enemy,you're better off just repairing it, or retreating and rebuilding elsewhere
 
Oh, neat!
 
They are really useful for an offensive engineer
 
1:46 AM
And makes cuter beeps.
 
Okay, actually off this time. Toodles for now.
 
I like mini-sentries, particularly if I'm assisting another Engineer.
It worked really well on pl_hoodoo the other day.
Helped him build his gun (which defended the final point), then built a dispenser so I could jump upstairs, then built a mini-sentry, then moved it forward and around the corner.
Because moving a mini makes it deploy in less than two seconds.
(I then destroyed my dispenser and built a dispenser blocking the staircase top.)

Q: How to keep those animals out of my farm?

WarfaceEvery time that I want to start a farm for wheat, melons or sugar cane. Even with fence twice as high around it, animals seems to spawn on it and destroy my crops. Since melon seed are kinda rare, it's annoying to lose all my melon crops because a chicken, sheep or cow step on it. How can we ma...

Somehow I now feel like there's something missing from my life on account of not having played New Vegas.
 
@TimStone The New Vegas DLC is Avellone's finest work since Torment, and Sawyers best since FO 2.
And that's saying something.

A: How do I move Steam games to a new computer without re-downloading them?

I dont think you need to move anything, as far as I know you just download the games onto a new computer from the same Steam account. At least this is the case with downloading Mac games that you already own on PC Steam.

What do we do with answers that completely misses the point of the question?
Should I flag them for deletion or just downvote?
 
downvote + flag

Q: What happens if the Feeds guy gets flagged for spam/offensive messages?

Should we flag Lazers, for Science?
 
room topic changed to The Bridge: of Gaming's StackExchange™ AlienOverlord AskQuestion™ mothership, wherein any attempt to play or discuss unapproved games will result in termination by lazer, which disrupts our lazers' charging. And you wouldn't want that, right? [wipqozn-gravitation-law]

1:00 PM
hey, all
I finally got high-speed internet yesterday.
We called one company 3 months ago, and they came out and couldn't finish, so they said they'd be out the next day. They didn't come out though and ignored our emails and phone calls, but it was a good deal so we waited until Thursday.
Then another came out in less than 24 hours from when we called them
Now I'm trying to get TF2 downloaded quickly.
 
@Ullallulloo woo
 
@badp woo is right :D
From 28kbps to 1mbps, it's about 45 times faster.
Plus they haven't locked us into our plan yet, so it's currently going at about 6mbps.
 
1:36 PM
@Ullallulloo Hurray!!
 
oh come on
I got the atomizer
...on TF2 beta
 
Have they still not given out the changed weapons?
 
not for me
so to have a reserve shooter pyro you must first drop a reserve shooter... or buy one
 
Isn't the shop disabled in beta?
 
good point
I didn't know that
I guess that joins the Sydney Sleeper in items I only have in beta

@badp ayup
 
also I hadn't read whose blog that was. Now I feel like an idiot

YOU SHOULD
So...
Do you think this answer should actually be deleted?
It seems to just be a really crappy answer as opposed to a not-answer, which makes me feel like it should just be downvoted instead.
 
Surely it would techincally work...
 
I wonder if I created a bot (don't worry, I won't) that flags every post by a 1-rep user - would it get >100 flag weight?
 
I am that bot.
 
1:58 PM
@Mana you totally did. It's right there.
@Mana pfft, you wish
 
@Mana No, you're the bot that deletes everything that is flagged. Combined these bots could keep the entire network clean!
StackExchange should employ me
 
Well, I was that bot before I became a moderator.
 
@CruelCow IT's much more likely that would just hire the bot and then instruct it to kill you so they wouldn't have to pay you
 
I never was a big fan of the review panel, I really should post improvement suggestions one day.
 
2:01 PM
@Mana It's very close to a non-answer, does he mean the backup function of Steam itself, or does he mean just to copy the games somewhere. It does not really contain any useful information.
 
@Wipqozn DAMMIT. I'll need a time machine and I can fix this.
 
@badp Didn't you post that yesterday?
 
@badp So depressing...I'm getting Battlefield 3 anyways but still :(
 
@badp Honestly I expect most if not all companies to follow that. Imagine if your company gets sued in a way this could have prevented and then explaining to your stock-owners etc. why you didn't do it.
 
2:09 PM
@Mana I really wanted Battelfield 3, to some degree anyways, but I refuse to install origin on my computer
I lol'd at this:
> EA titles suck anyway
response:
> so i take it you're a COD fag that plays recycled trash.
because EA never recycles the same game over and over again
Oh, wait, I forgot EA Sports exists.
 
@Wipqozn Hey, they need to update all the clubs and names every year, that's haaard work!
 
@CruelCow True!

2:17 PM
Mindshare
See at voice: "Notch"
 
@CruelCow That's obviously a troll, but the sad thing is, that's how many "hardcore" COD players think
When someone says they are a gamer, and you ask what they play and they respond with "COD" and you reply with "and what else?" they respond with "COD"
I die a little bit on the inside
"Ever play Mario?"
"who the fuck is mario?"

I'm not really that good at TF2 so maybe someone else could.

Cool, I'll do a test in a bit to see if my PC can handle it.
Does SE have a livestream account?
 
Every computer I try to play TF2 freezes :( What's the point of owning 6 computers if none will work

How do you quote again?
 
I'm afraid multiline quotes are broken
 
But it ruins my amusement. Enforcer is unbalanced combined with the DR - let's nerf it in a way that doesn't affect the DR!
