@LessPop_MoreFizz what is special about that day?
ah, yes. Dark souls
 
@Wipqozn Apple fall press event. And with it, Presumably iPhone 5.
My ///GS is down to 5-6 hours of battery life from a full charge these days. It's getting pretty bad. :/

Q: How should I be building a ranged Vanquisher?

Mark TrappI've been playing a Vanquisher for some time, using mostly dual-pistols and ranged attacks. I've been upgrading my Dexterity and picking up skills like Exploding shot and other things that seem like they'd increase my damage, but I've gotten to the point where I want to start aiming for something...

 
1:50 AM
@CRoss No, 'arguably more scantily clad' is grammatical. It is a higher quantity of scantily clad 'women', as opposed to a greater degree of scantness.
 
Anyone want to finish this off? gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/31007/…

Well that was fun. Little tyke turned off the power strip that powers the majority of electronics in the basement.
 
3:01 AM
Where does Steam hide unpublished screenshots?
 
@Raven What did you need from me?
 
@RavenDreamer "\steam\userdata\<userid>\760\remote\<appID>\screenshots\" I believe.
 
@GraceNote Oh, I was going to tell you that Dominion was available.
But its not anymore
 
@RavenDreamer You can get there directly from the screenshot manager.
Open the screenshot manager, select a game from the dropdown, then click "Show on disk"
 
@Powerlord I don't see "Show on disk"
Actually, I might not be on the screenshot manager.
 
3:15 AM
@RavenDreamer I already played two matches
 
@Powerlord Oh, they're in the totally unhelpful "40412259" folder, subdirectory "760", "remote", and "999000", and finally, "screenshots".
@GraceNote Last I knew you hadn't, so I was trying to spread the love.
As it were.
 
@RavenDreamer I just got those two in today, as it were
 
@GraceNote Excellent! So even when I can't contact you, you still are aware of what I'm trying to tell you. Our communication is beyond compare!
 
...we'll go with that, I suppose.

Q: Getting Ghost in Milwaukee Junction

CoomieSo I'm trying to get the ghost award on Milwaukee Junction. I can get through the whole map with 0 takedowns, 0 suspicious cameras and 0 alerted guards. And I can talk Zeke down and save Josie. But I still don't get Ghost. I've watched GreasedScotsman's walk-through and have no idea what I'm doin...

Q: What is "Fire Group 3" and how can I use it?

Dave AndersenIn Space Pirates and Zombies, in the options screen I see keybindings for fire groups 1, 2 and 3. By experimentation, group one and two correspond to the normal left-right mouse button weapons, which seem to be shooters and launchers respectively. The group 3 key doesn't seem to do anything.

Q: What game had the player kill enemies by separating and dropping the land they stood on from the rest of the board?

BrandonI'm trying to remember the name of an old game (I think it was on the NES) that I played with a top-down view on a grid-based map. Each level would have a big land mass with some enemies roaming around. Your character could dig trenches or cracks in the ground to separate smaller pieces of land...

Q: Can I purchase and download Halo 2 online somewhere?

CodemonkeyI have Googled this to no avail. Every place I've found that sells this game insists on shipping it. I don't want to wait I don't want to pay for shipping on a digital product that can just as well be downloaded I'm stubborn So if there's somewhere I can purchase and download Halo 2, I offer ...

Q: Is it possible to cheat on Devil May Cry 4 on PC?

Dran DaneIs it possible to cheat on Devil May Cry 4 on PC? I hate the skill learning principle of this game. I would like to start the game with all skills. Is there a cheat code to do that ?

 
7:43 AM
@Lazers Yes, I too hate fun.
 
He, some people play those games for the story, you know? :)
 
8:21 AM
you mean for the cutscenes and the acting?
 
8:41 AM
@badp Whatever works for them. Though in general I'd suggest "fire up YouTube, watch a 'Let's Play' of the game" as an alternative.

Q: What are keys for in Diablo 2?

BoraI've just started Diablo 2 Single Player, and there is one thing I don't understand Some opponents drop keys as an item, generally in multiple numbers (like 6 of'em stacked). I can buy them in the Village, too. What do they open? Can I sell them without worrying about that they might be useful ...

The dulya (, , , , , , , ), or the fig sign, is a rude gesture used in Turkish culture and Slavic culture and some other cultures that uses two fingers and a thumb, but not equal to the finger in Anglo-American culture. Real meaning of this gesture is refusal of aiding or disagreement with the target of gesture. Usually it is connected with requests for financial loan or help with performing some physical work. Recently, it has also become a common term in Padonkaffsky jargon to refer to Control-Alt-Delete. Svitlana Pyrkalo, a producer at the BBC World Ukrainian Service, explained that ...

Q: Can't even finish the first level in No Heroes Allowed

MdaGI need help, I can't even finish the first level of No heroes allowed. I don't think I understand how the game works. At the third stage I always lose, I can't seem to surround Badman with enough monsters.

Q: How do you spot enemies in Gears of War 3?

jaminjaI've noticed during multiplayer matches that enemies can be spotted, which makes a mark appears above them in the display. I've found this really useful for targeting and tracking enemies because the mark appears for a few seconds, even when they go behind cover. However, I can't work out how to...

@YiJiang What, are we supposed to comment on the Link's Awakening (non-DX) map in the background?
Argh, I think I worked on BuiltinVotes on Friday, but if I did, I didn't copy it to my USB drive.
Meaning that I can't work on it at work today.

Q: why does my character skin keep reverting to a naked girl

Mark HosangWhy does my character's skin keep reverting to a naked girl? I thought someone figured out my password, so i changed it, but after a week or so it got changed back. I have used mod tools to add aether mod is all. Is there anyone to stop it reverting?

 
@Lazers o_o
 
So, Notch figured out how to read people's minds then.
 
1:45 PM
@Lazers Problem?
 
oy
 
Oh, btw, if anyone remembers me mentioning this on Friday, our new IM system at work still isn't up, but they disabled the old one over the weekend.
 
Huh. So...is this the end of our chat relationship Powerlord???
 
@Mana I'm breaking up with you! :(
 
:( It's cool, I'm not crying, I was just cutting onions. All you did was play dead all the time anyways.
 
2:05 PM
Well, I joined Fitocracy. Hopefully I can score some IRL achievements and get a little healthier in the process.

@Brant markdown failed to parse that in an odd way
 
Yeah, it has problems with URLs that end in a ).
 
@FallenAngelEyes Good luck!
 
2:45 PM
@Powerlord Excusez-moi qui a pètè?
 
@RavenDreamer Thank you :) Kind of... terrified of getting overwhelmed, but I've gained a lot of weight since moving to the NL because my lifestyle became so sedentary :(
 
Bleh. No motivation to do work.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Well, it fits the landscape, I'd say.
 
@MartinSojka lol :P
 
2:48 PM
... with lots of sedimentary and some alluvial rocks and deposits, I mean. :D
 
@RavenDreamer That is awesome
I love fractals
science makes art!

Q: How can I generate grid-based Fractals?

Raven DreamerPlease let me know if there's a better site to ask a question like this. I play a little indie game called Dwarf Fortress and a major part of the game involves building the titular Fortress for your Dwarves. Some of these tasks, however, quickly become so monotonous as to become tedious. Specifi...

 
(Less pretty though)
 
@RavenDreamer Aw, no answers
 
2:50 PM
@FallenAngelEyes I know! I asked it back in August.
 
@RavenDreamer I can't believe Python could've been raped like that
 
@RavenDreamer They even mention L-Systems, too
 
@RavenDreamer You do use Quickfort for bedroom and other big repeating structures, right?
 
@MartinSojka I don't generally designate enough simultaneously to use Quickfort.
But I know it exists and have used it before.
 
The moral of the story is: You can't trust the system. http://i.imgur.com/0lD5b.jpg

Q: How do I keep Endermen out of my mushroom farm?

KurleyI created a nice dark underground room for the growing of mushrooms. Sometimes mobs spawn there but that hasn't been a problem until the Endermen decided they liked the blocks in my walls. Is there a way to modify a small room which is suitable for growing mushrooms, to be less comfortable to En...

Q: Will experience orbs burn in lava in minecraft?

DracontisAnyone tested that? I need to get rid of them. Once my friend died, he dropped so many orbs, that server can't work fine. I absorb them all (it took about 20-30 minutes), so if I will die, server will crash again. So if I died in lava lake, will all orbs burn out?

 
@badp That's quite the headline.
Oh, Hey. Dominion's officially open
 
Fully open? That was a short beta.
 
I made a prediction with a friend last night that Dominion would be out within two weeks.
And he gave me a skeptical look.
WHO'S SKEPTICAL NOW, BRIAN?!
New Loading screen also? Must... finish... patching..
 
getsatisfaction.com/spotify/topics/… - I like the comment about applications going from Windows-only to Facebook-only
 
May as well patch now.
 
3:02 PM
doesn't have a facebook account
 
Now if only the Magma Chamber would be released...
 
And the stealth rework!
 
Don't remind me of that. I just got creamed by a Talon player last night.
(Well, an entire team. The Kayle and Singed and Anivia didn't really help at all)
When Kog'Maw is the least threatening person on an opposing team, something is wrong.
(Also was an AP Kog'Maw, so being Rammus that game, I was massively displeased with the opposition makeup)
I did see a very awesome trick that game, though.
 
I kind of want to try LoL but I tried HoN back in beta and oh god I'm bad at those types of games
It's so hostile to try to get into as a noob sometimes
 
sigh and here's where my extension trying to imitate the real SourceMod voting system falls apart. Oh well, time to adapt.
 
3:10 PM
Oh, definitely. Even when you aren't new it's still hostile, too.
Which naturally makes it even worse for someone who is new.
Best part is, Raven and I can't coach you or anything because we're on the US server.
 
@FallenAngelEyes This is pretty much how I feel about SC2. So now I just watch lots of pro matches instead of actually playing.
 
Blah, region locking? :(
 
Is there a Mac LoL client yet? :(
 
Meh to that.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, I originally was hoping to introduce @badp into it, but we can't play each other.
 
3:11 PM
Well that just really kills it for me
 
@FallenAngelEyes Actually there are two regions in Europe
 
@badp ...wut
 
Combining that with all the aforementioned hostile environment (both in playerbase and in actual mechanics), it just is hard to get into if you don't have someone around with you.
 
East and West. No kidding.
 
@badp Why would they do this? Yes, let's take the already lower population and split it
 
3:12 PM
@badp Somebody missed the end of the Cold War.
 
I got into the original DotA because of my college friends and roommates, as did my brother. Same people got us into LoL.
 
I guess that with some wizardry you could have three copies of LoL installed side by side, each logging in with its free account per zone
but...
 
@GraceNote Yeah, that's the thing, for stuff like this, I'm way more of a social gamer. I'd rather play with people I know or at least learn the ropes with them. :/
@badp 3 words for that. Can't. Be. Arsed.
 
This document explains their line of reasoning
 
@FallenAngelEyes This is the kind of game where having someone with you to play with helps a lot, especially in cases like now when they're launching a new game mode.
 
3:14 PM
 
Why can't they have the map actually look like Europe?
 
What will you be? Titty chick with swords or creepy guy with tatoos and plasma hands?
 
Rather than splitting it at the seams as if Germany and Austria made a joint effort with some kind of geomorphic rocket?
 
@GraceNote Dominion was exactly why I was interested. :( I tend to enjoy goal-based PvP rather than just straight up PvP.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Dominion is very fast paced and fun, from the two games I played.
 
3:16 PM
@badp Obviously, you can't even play LoL in the Kaliningrad Oblast.. :D
 
@GraceNote So I'm assuming it's region-locked by IP right? So I can't just choose to play in the US despite being in the EU?
 
@FallenAngelEyes I have no idea.
 
(Though with the "border" to Poland there being a bit of forest with a stone marking it now and then, it's not like it matters ...)
Why the hell isn't Russia on the map anyway?
 
@GraceNote Guess I could ask on the site
 
@FallenAngelEyes There's no region lock. You can sign up to any region
 
3:18 PM
It's not like 90% of its population wouldn't live in Europe ...
 
@FallenAngelEyes Wouldn't you tend to have lag issues on a server halfway across the world anyway?
 
@sjohnston Netherland divine connection.
 
but your account is locked to the region you create it under
 
@sjohnston Yes, but seeing as I have that with all other games anyway, I'm used to that
 
and regions are airtight
 
3:18 PM
@sjohnston Nope.
 
@GraceNote Sounds like an anime attack move
 
what's outside your region just doesn't exist
 
Apparently anyone who signs up to an EU region gets one free account transfer in case they change their mind
 
@sjohnston Wolf Blitzer is an anime attack.
 
I play TF2 and Valve games with US friends, I play on US servers for CoH
 
3:19 PM
@FallenAngelEyes As if your connection even allows for a ping higher than 120 on a reasonable server.
 
@FallenAngelEyes me too, FAE, me too.
 
GraceNote uses "Netherland divine connection." It's super-effective!
 
You don't need a divine NL connection either
 
@sjohnston Server fainted!
 
my line from Italy works too.
 
3:20 PM
@ArdaXi Yeah, it's usually not higher than that, thankfully. Also, did you get a notification from Ziggo too about maintenance tonight?
 
@FallenAngelEyes Nope.
 
But 2 digit ping times are pretty foreign to me
 
Probably regional.
 
Ah, maybe it's reg--yeah
 
I am used to 160 ping to US servers, that's 130 in Amstelveen, so not a big improvement.
 
3:21 PM
@FallenAngelEyes I'll try navigating their godawful site.
 
Still very playable.
 
@badp So I create an account here in the EU, I'm stuck only seeing the EU servers?
@ArdaXi Haha yeah, it's terrible
 
Er zijn op dit moment geen geplande werkzaamheden
 
@FallenAngelEyes No, you're stuck only seeing your region's everything
Like, if you try and add Grace, you'll get a player not found error
or worse, you'll add the wrong user
 
@ArdaXi Ah okay, must be my area then. They said from 1am-6am tonight.
@badp :( Well meh. -_-
 
3:22 PM
You can't see their profile. You can't see what they equip. You can't do anything
...unless you're in the same region
 
I wonder if I can make a US-based account
 
You should be able to
The thing asks you.
 
I hate region divisions :(
2
It's caused me quite a lot of problems over the past few years
 
This is why I don't make friends.
Stops you from having these issues.
 
@ArdaXi I try not to! It just keeps happening!
 
3:24 PM
Hmm, I must just be lucky.
 
@FallenAngelEyes The first step is admitting you have a problem
 
/nick mana
@FallenAngelEyes I TOLD YOU DOG
/nick badp
 
Also, mostly I don't make new friends, I just want to stick with my old ones that I've had for a while and most of those are in the US.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I imagine this should be possible
 
Gonna go check out the site, see what's possible.
 
3:31 PM
@badp Why is Switzerland part of EU West? Shouldn't it stay neutral in all this?
2
 
Wow, there really are 3 separate clients. Guess I'll just install the US one and hope it doesn't block me when I try to sign in on it.
 
Wait, have you made an account yet? I can give you a referral link!
 
No, not yet
 
@FallenAngelEyes Well, first you have to download the downloader that downloads the installer.
Or something like that.
@RavenDreamer Wait, ha? You can do referrals?
 
@GraceNote That's what I'm currently doing
 
3:32 PM
Yes, LoL installs an install installer basically
 
@badp Blegh. Hate those.
 
Oh god, download so slooooooooow
 
@RavenDreamer too late :P
 
@GraceNote Yeah. It sucks, because I got at least 5 people to join, and none of them did so via the referral system.
I coulda got a 6310 champ out of it, already!
 
3:33 PM
@RavenDreamer Yeah, looks like 10 for a tier 3 champ. That's pretty shiny.
 
@FallenAngelEyes You can, they just don't want you to come to them complaining about lag.
 
I have a feeling that Fallen will probably have better running in this game than I do.
 
@RavenDreamer Meh, comes with the territory, I'm not that self-entitled
@RavenDreamer Your account has been created!
Hopefully it's not completely unplayable lag
Ugh, I'm barely breaking 1Mb/s on this download
 
I just played a dominion game as Pantheon.
And go was it annoying vs. Jax.
 
Gonna go take a walk while it finishes
 
3:36 PM
@FallenAngelEyes Just don't play Lux or Ezreal ♪
 
@FallenAngelEyes cries a little about the speed of US internets
 
@GraceNote :o Why?
 
@RavenDreamer I've been seeing Jax a fair bit in those.
 
@GraceNote Because Grace has permanent dibs?
 
Also, is it bad to want to play characters whose designs I like? <_<
 
3:36 PM
@FallenAngelEyes Lux and Ezreal have nothing but skillshot abilities
 
@GraceNote Dodge vs Pantheon (or any melee dude) hurts.
@FallenAngelEyes Nope.
 
@GraceNote Those words make no sense to me!
 
@RavenDreamer This is why I go Thornmail + Puncturing Taunt + Tremors on Jax
 
@FallenAngelEyes Of course, good luck finding a female character without heaving bossoms.
And high heels.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Essentially, your abilities do not home in - you don't select targets with the attack, you select a path or area.
 
3:38 PM
@RavenDreamer Meh. :(
@GraceNote I think that's something I'm a bit too nooby for yet
 
One of the characters with high heels has a skill called "Tumble".
This lady is going around, sumersaulting and what have you, in heels.
 
@RavenDreamer s/Tumble/Broken Ankles/
 
That has got to be dangerous.
 
@FallenAngelEyes There's that, too, but any sort of lag would be a poor idea.
 
@GraceNote Ah, that's a good point
 
3:39 PM
@RavenDreamer I main Lux alongside Rammus but I'm hardly stingy on that front. Ezreal's okay but I prefer Lux.
 
I prefer Sexy Ezreal.
 
Ok, gonna go walk, later all!
Hopefully LoL will be done when I get back
 
@FallenAngelEyes You dominate that Fitocracy!
 
@FallenAngelEyes Later~
 
Playing LoL without sound (I'm in a public place with a lot of noise traffic) is very interesting.
