@John The TF2 coaching is pretty much garbage, but I should be around for the Game On tomorrow and I'd be willing to coach you
 
So, my prop hunt event is like half empty
If people want to join... :P
 
Hm
I'm trying to figure out if answers to this question

Q: What is the range of an explosion in minecraft?

DemonicMushyWhat is the range of an explosion in Minecraft? I know it is affected by the type of block, snow being the least blast resistance and bedrock being the most blast resistance. Would be nice if there is a list of ranges with the different kinds of blocks surrounding the origin of the explosion. ...

Would be the same as the answer KevinY gave for this one:

Q: Is a Creeper's blast radius affected by the surrounding material?

FallenAngelEyesIn Minecraft, I would like to build my house out of Glass for aesthetics, but I'm worried it will be very vulnerable to Creepers. In order to minimize potential damage, I'm thinking of building my ground floor out of cobblestone. However, I'm not even sure if this will make a difference, seeing a...

Q: Fixed aspect ratio with ATI Radeon HD 4350 on Windows 7 x64

srunniI'm trying to get Windows to preserve the aspect ratio when playing games at low resolutions. I have an ATI Radeon HD 4350 graphics card. Here are my software specs: This is the place in the Catalyst Control Center where you would normally set image scaling options, but the "Maintain aspect r...

 
I just found a chat bug.
I guess I should probably post this somewhere.
But I don't feel like it right now.
@MANA
 
eh.
 
SEE IF YOU CAN BEAT ME.
 
eh.....
 
Pleese.
Also, does anyone know why my steam library is showing a huge list of games I don't have.
Oh, it's defaulting to 'tools'...
:S
 
12:20 AM
Is that how I link it?
 
Did you use the link from the thing at the top?
It generates ones for you
 
yeah
 
What was my time?
 
43:something
not much of an improvement but eh
I need to get back to computer theory work, peace
 
=[
Peese.
 
12:29 AM
Sleeptime, g'night all, have fun with Game On tomorrow
 
@FallenAngelEyes Why You want to close as duplicate? O.o
Oh, bai then.
 
1:17 AM
@FallenAngelEyes It just might be
@FallenAngelEyes It does, but I wouldn't close it as a duplicate.
They are two separate questions, @KevinY just gave such an excellent answer that it went beyond the scope of the question
 
1:53 AM
@FallenAngelEyes I wouldn't call them matching
The more relevant answer would be on this question, since it actually demonstrates the ranges.
 
2:46 AM
I need Scissors! 61!
Oh, and I'll all set for when TF2 gets a second Misc slot for Spy and Medic.
I now have a Made Man and a Physician's Procedure Mask.
(in addition to my Le Party Phantom and Blighted Beak)
 
oh wow, this is a good for a laugh
The power with using what is obviously an automated system, is normally they are shit
Not to mention the writing is terrible in general

Minigun has 2 superior characteristics compared to Kamikaze.
Kamikaze has 5 superior characteristics compared to Minigun.
WINNER
clearly hadouken is hands-down better.
how does character type and slot matter at all?
one shotgun is better because it's available for more classes. the other is better because it's in the primary slot vs. secondary
> When we compared the two starcraft 2 units, we found that Archon was the overall winner for unit properties although Drone was preferred for movement.

Q: How can I connect a PS3 to two TV/ sound systems in two different rooms?

TamaOur PS3 sits in our lounge connected to our TV(1080p) via HDMI and our home theatre via the digital optical connection. I want to be able to use our PS3 in the room directly below our lounge. I'd like to connect it to another TV(1080i) via HDMI and to a small home audio system (using a 3.5mm s...

Q: Does the Xbox 360 support 3D though Component Cables?

KPthunderI've read in various places that the Xbox 360 only supports 3D through 2D-to-3D conversion technologies such as LG's 2D-to-3D conversion (not meant to be an advertisement, I swear). I notice the back of the Gears of War 3 box says that it supports 3D. Does this mean it supports 3D through 2D-to-...

Q: PC base score of 4.1 ok for gaming?

benI just got a new pc and am wondering what kind of games it might be able to handle. It has a semi-decent processor (AMD quad core 1.8Ghz with subscore of 6.6) and 4GB ram, but the graphics has a subscore of 4.1 (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 series with only 256MB dedicated memory). I'm not a gam...

Q: Will tactical defending be optional?

atticaeIn FIFA 12 a new control system is included for defense, called tactical defending. It makes the constant pressing that was used in Fifa 11 a lot impossible by the fact, that you now by holding the button only shield the opponent player, but don't rush into him. The actual tackle has to be done ...

 
@YiJiang Hi Reddit from two days ago.
 
10:03 AM
@ArdaXi Yeah well I'm bored and can't think of anything witty to say
 
10:31 AM
What?
I know how Akinator works, but it still surprises me.
 
10:42 AM
@ArdaXi Good pyros kindly put off teammates
before returning to their ruthless bloody murderous rage
@ArdaXi Earlier I ran it against Jeff Atwood and stumped him.
(Now however it knows about him.)
 
Let me try Jeff.
I got Jimmy Wales.
Then Joel Spolsky. I give up.
Wasn't Jeff married?
Yes, he is.

Q: Is it possible to initiate Steam trading without adding people as friends?

badpOne of the main points of friction between me and the TF2 trading scene is that it appears you need to add random people as friends to do trading with them. Is this true? How can I do Steam Trading with people that aren't in my friend list?

 
11:50 AM
@badp Why did you specify TF2 trading if you wanted the general steam trade system?
 
because I want to trade TF2 items without actually launching TF2? <_<
 
Deleted
I know you can, I just can work out how.
And steamcomunity.com seems to be down
 
12:57 PM
@ArdaXi why are we killing moffat?
 
That last part of the episode.
 
OH, with RIver song and what have you?
 
Didn't make any sense. For one, it means that Doc's been going around for 200 years between TGC and CT.
 
Indeed.

Q: Help me remember a PSX game

Q: A psx-game that I played long ago as a demo

AtheistusI was playing a Demo about 10 years ago or more. Maybe 1998. Cant really remember, I was a little kid back than :) It was a versus game where my brother and I were some kind of robotic vehicle and have to shoot each other in an arena. One Button (I think it was square) launched you into the...

 
I might try using a dueling pistol during Game On tonight, assuming we can play a full match without interruption today.
 
@NickT If character class is very important to you, too, consider a significant difference between Hadouken and Skewer: Pyro. Hadouken features Pyro, while Skewer does not feature Pyro. Having Pyro is especially important to Best Team Fortress 2 weapons for Getting Started.
 
Dear Mana. I've instructed my grandson to deliver you this message on this very date and time. I thank you for sending me back in time. While the internet connection was horrible, I could amass a vast amount of money due to my future knowledge.
Enough to hire an assassin to kill you for separating me from the internet forever. But don't worry! I specified the time so that it wouldn't create a time paradox by killing you before sending me back in time.
 
> I specified the time so that it wouldn't create a time paradox by killing you before sending me back in time.
@CruelCow I wouldn't.

What are you planning to do to @Mana?!
 
Take his head so I can put it on things in real life!
 
With that tiny blade?
 
@ArdaXi it's not the size that matters, it's what you do with it
 
I have to kill him first!
 
2:36 PM
@Wipqozn Why is everyone telling me that?
 
@ArdaXi to make you feel better about yourself.
 
@Wipqozn I think you'll find I do not need such reassurance.
 
@ArdaXi that's not what SHE said! ahuahaahahah
I did a reversal of the normal that's what she said joke
 
@Wipqozn In her case, I was the reassurance. ;)
 
Honestly @RonanForman, I think you need a bigger knife if you're going to cut off @mana's head.
 
2:40 PM
Yay! @Mana's here!
 
Ack! My desktop won't boot into the OS!
 
Oh, @Mana, fair warning, Ronan is trying to decapitate you with a butter knife. You might die of boredom.
 
That is not good. I have a lot of porn important things on that hard drive.
4
So I noticed!
Also music. So much music. :(
 
@Mana Porn music is important.
(how do you do strikeout text?)
 
@Wipqozn I don't know.
 
2:41 PM
three hyphens before and after
ISN'T THAT INTUITIVE?!
 
That used to work. That too.
 
Why is it three?
 
@RonanForman Because two has semantic meaning.
 
hmm
but seriously, I do need to figure out what's happening with this desktop!
 
Do you have any clues?
Error messages or whatever?
 
2:43 PM
So I will probably not show up for today's Game On
 
@ArdaXi It's a six letter word.
 
Not really. As soon as it gets to the point where it would show me the grub OS selection screen
it just reboots
 
@Mana So my poster is a lie!
 
@RonanForman Liar.
 
2:44 PM
I can get into BIOS and I reset it to the factory defaults but eh
 
@Mana that sucks :/ I won't be there for the entire thing myself, and I know badp isn't going. Might be a little smaller today.
 
@RonanForman That narrows it down to 13 457 possibilities.
 
@RonanForman Yo, I've caught some spies before! Just...I suck at identifying the dead ringer
 
@Mana Did you do anything...unusual...the last time you used it?
 
@Mana Any beeps?
 
2:45 PM
No beeps.
@Wipqozn Yeah, I shoved my desktop into a washing machine. I didn't even know they could fit.
 
@Mana you kids
 
Because it was dirty! Because of all of the porn sick music
 
Downloaded anything, changed any settings...?
 
I didn't change any settings with the BIOS or Grub
 
How many OS's do you have installed?
 
2:47 PM
And since it's not even booting into the OS I'm unconvinced it could be anything else I downloaded.
 
@ArdaXi It's better than infinite
 
Two, Ubuntu and Win7
 
@Mana Boot a Live CD of something.
 
@Mana Have you tried both?
 
Try reinstalling Grub to the MBR.
 
2:47 PM
@Wipqozn It doesn't even get to the grub screen though
 
Blow the fuck out of it!
 
@Wipqozn He can't.
 
@Mana hm okay
@ArdaXi yeah
Sounds like a hardware issue
I've never dual-booted an OS myself, so no experience with that
 
@RonanForman The kunai... it is so tiny!
 
Have you tried this
 
2:50 PM
@RonanForman Yeah man, that's actually what I was doing before this happened
 
@badp I wouldn't call that a kunai
 
Hmm, ClearType is acting up.
 
That said, I have a strange feeling that TF2 probably has a "Kunai" that may or may not actually be a kunai.
 
:) All this attention!
 
@GraceNote It has the Conniver's Konai.
 
2:52 PM
@ArdaXi Image?
 
Was looking for it but the wiki wasn't responding.
 
Yeah, it's got the piton hole in it.
 
@GraceNote Okay, it's even less piramidal
 
@badp The hallmark of a kunai is the hole for rope. Also moreso the lack of a guard.
 
That's neat.
 
2:54 PM
While the traditional image is like the Conniver's Kunai (that kite-shaped blade), the structural style is one that doubles as usability as a climbing piton or otherwise in aid with a length of rope.
 
That's really neat!
 
@GraceNote Aren't they usually used for gardening/masonry?
 
@ArdaXi That sounds like a spade
That said, they probably originated as modified spades, quite possibly.
 
@GraceNote " The kunai was used by common folk as multi-purpose gardening tools and by workers of stone and masonry."
:For "kunai grass", see Imperata cylindrica. A is a Japanese tool possibly derived from the masonry trowel. Two variations are the and the . It is a good example of a very basic tool which, in the hands of a martial arts expert, could be used as a multi-functional weapon. It is commonly associated with the ninja, who used it to gouge holes in walls. Design The kunai was conventionally wrought in ranges from 20 cm to 60 cm, with the average at 40 cm. The kunai was used by common folk as multi-purpose gardening tools and by workers of stone and masonry. The kunai is not a...
 
Hmm, finally beat the Great Bay temple (for the first time) in Majora's Mask.
I hope there wasn't anything I had to do (other than return the stray fairies) because I was down to the last 3 hours before moon crash when I beat him.
 
2:57 PM
@ArdaXi Hah, so it is. Which makes the presence of a guard even less usable. But that's an interesting bit I didn't know about prior, thanks!
 
@ArdaXi NOt a fan. Your health is so so low you normally die in one hit, so what's the point of the health gain?
 
@RonanForman That stick reminds me - I hate thorn trees.
