Hello there gentlemen, ladies, and gracenote's

Ronan Forman

Howdy Alot.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi Good episode I must say.

Grace Note

@Wipqozn ...why... is there... an apostrophe there?

Wipqozn

@GraceNote In case there are multiple people who make up GraceNote?

Grace Note

@Wipqozn That's not how an apostrophe works

GnomeSlice

5:10 PM

facepalm

Wipqozn

@GraceNote I was just testing you.

Ronan Forman

It's a Canadian apostrophe.

Wipqozn

Congrats, you pass!

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman ಠ_ಠ Thats not how it work's.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice How would YOU know? Not like you live in Canada or something. Oh... wait... right

Arda Xi

@GraceNote To greet yours.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice IF it helps, you do amuse me, but not to no end.

Grace Note

@ArdaXi Clever

Vaporware

Vaporware is a term in the computer industry that describes a product, typically computer hardware or software, that is announced to the general public but is never actually released nor officially canceled. Vaporware is also a term sometimes used to describe events that are announced or prophesied, never officially cancelled, but never intended to happen. The term also generally applies to a product that is announced months or years before its release, and for which public development details are lacking. The word has been applied to a growing range of products including consumer, autom...

You guys.

@Brant god dammit brant you ruined it. You should have posted another one.

You... you... C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

Brant

5:21 PM

Hmm, what do you know.

GnomeSlice

@wipqozn, you starred those again, didn't you

Either that, or someone just doesn't like you.

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn has the least stars!

GnomeSlice

This is how we should do our moderator elections.

user30

okay, don't do that

GnomeSlice

No, it was a good idea.

Wipqozn

5:23 PM

@RonanForman nobody likes me :(

@GnomeSlice and yes, I did.

user30

actually, yeah, I'm not going to clear those stars, there was nothing decent in the starred list anyway

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn If it makes you feel better I don't either.

Wipqozn

I'll just clear the stars I gave TAke THAT @ArdaXi!

Ronan Forman

@ThomasMcDonald Now I've been kicked off.

GnomeSlice

This is like a popularity contest.

Wipqozn

5:24 PM

I wonder if my friend is logged on... I should get him to star mine...

Arda Xi

@GnomeSlice You're like a popularity contest.

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice Does that mean I'm popular?

squeee!

GnomeSlice

@ArdaXi That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. I think.

WHO CLEARED THOSE.

Arda Xi

You're a thing.

GnomeSlice

GODAMMIT.

Q: What is a current or recent game that delivers a Rogue Spear-like multiplayer experience?

I was recently talking to a friend about our shared love of Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear on PC, and it got me thinking about what exactly stood out so much to me in the multiplayer (what I primarily played) compared to other games that I had played before it. The two main things that came to mind wer...

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice @ThomasMcDonald and he didn't clear his.

GnomeSlice

ಠ_ಠ

user30

I didn't clear anything

GnomeSlice

Too late to undo. Shit.

DAMMIT @BADP.

Wipqozn

@ThomasMcDonald a likely story

@GnomeSlice He is a ninja

In my opinion, that's mod abuse.

FallenAngelEyes

5:27 PM

I am back. I ended up going for an hour walk instead of a half hour walk because I got a bit lost. Yay for accidental exercise.

user30

I'm sorting tonights trip to the pub out

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes ...you got lost?

Are you on vacation...?

FallenAngelEyes

Nope

Wipqozn

How do you get lost on a 30 minute walk around your own neighborhood?

Powerlord

Whoa, HP's most recent former CEO netted a $21.5 million severance, despite only being there for 11 months.

FallenAngelEyes

5:28 PM

There's an open parkish area behind my apartment but I've only gone walking there like... twice, even though I've lived here for almost 3 years.

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes Impressive.

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn This is how little I leave my house

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes Outside is overrated anyways.

All that oxygen, ew.

Powerlord

Also, why have none of my news sites commented on the fact that HP fired its CEO? I should have seen an article about that last week instead of the "the board is thinking about firing" news I actually did see.

Arda Xi

@FallenAngelEyes I signed up for an invite to Fitocracy months ago, but never got anything.

GnomeSlice

5:30 PM

@FallenAngelEyes Hurray for stereotypes!

user30

I have fitocracy invites

user30

but you will get to see my pathetic updates

user30

yay

FallenAngelEyes

@ArdaXi I have an invite if you want one

We could making a Gaming.SE "gamers, get off your asses!" group!

user30

to be honest I didn't really understand the point of it, used it for tracking little things

Wipqozn

5:32 PM

holy crap

Achievements? in Real life?

user30

9 fitocracy invites, knock yourself out

Wipqozn

Can I unlock hats too?

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn This is the big draw for me :P

The people who made the site are apparently gamers as well

I leveled up to level 2 for my walk today :D

Wipqozn

No idea how tall I am

that could be problematic

or my weight for that matter

GnomeSlice

I used to have a to do list that came with achievments.

@Wipqozn Also, no, this is better.

Wipqozn

5:35 PM

@GnomeSlice You've shared that before

GnomeSlice

Yeah, but people actually seemed interested in yours, so I thought I'd try again.

Wipqozn

There, made an account

Powerlord

@GraceNote: I've been wondering for a while: Can mods/staff see who starred/unstarred chat posts?

Grace Note

@Powerlord I do not believe so

Powerlord

@GraceNote How about canceling stars?

Wipqozn

5:38 PM

FUCK YEAH I'M LEVEL 3!

TAKE THAT @FallenAngelEyes

Powerlord

What level is !?

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn You're... level? So you don't lean one way more than the other?

Grace Note

@Powerlord We can

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes god dammit -_-

FallenAngelEyes

XD

Powerlord

5:39 PM

@GraceNote So, even if I don't admit that I canceled those stars earlier, @badp will rat me out because he was accused earlier? :P

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn What's your name, I'll follow you :)

I don't use this name there

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes You have one guess

Grace Note

@Powerlord Oh, I don't know if we can see who cancelled stars

Only that we can cancel stars.

badp

In which we make it absolutely sure that GnomeSlice knows exactly what vaporware is

@Wipqozn Found you :P

GnomeSlice

5:40 PM

@Powerlord Y U DO DIS

badp

@Powerlord Owners can delete stars too

Powerlord

@GraceNote Oh, in that case I definitely didn't cancel those stars earlier

GnomeSlice

@badp It's funny because I didn't actually read any of them.

Powerlord

looks innocent

Grace Note

@Powerlord I'm pretty sure we already established that it was @badp

badp

5:41 PM

Fine, whatever, it was me. What do I win?

Powerlord

@GraceNote Yeah, but he can suspend me for framing him, even if he can't suspend you. :P

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes TeeRee?

GnomeSlice

@badp A LOOK OF DISAPPROVAL.

ಠ_ಠ

Wipqozn

@badp Respect.

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn Childhood nickname

Wipqozn

5:41 PM

@FallenAngelEyes ah okay.

badp

@Wipqozn and then people say you can't get something for nothing.

FallenAngelEyes

Might just change the display name to my real name, I dunno

Powerlord

@FallenAngelEyes As long as it's not TeeHee Ruler.

Grace Note

@Powerlord I think @GnomeSlice accused him first and you didn't actually do anything here, so you didn't so much as frame @badp as he got scapegoated by GnomeSlice

Powerlord

@GraceNote There is that.

I think @badp should get a special hat for that.

GnomeSlice

5:43 PM

@GraceNote I... huh?

badp

(sorry FAE)

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice The fun fact about out-of-context stuff is, well, it's kinda self-explanitory, isn't it?

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote I suppose? :S

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice you were all up in @badps face.

badp

@Powerlord The Cheater's Lament is fine

GnomeSlice

5:44 PM

@Wipqozn Oh, now I get it.

Powerlord

@badp Do you actually have one of those? :D

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice You're going to make him angry. Or worse, sad.

badp

@Powerlord Nope :(

GnomeSlice

You guys can unpin the game on thing now.

Powerlord

@badp It's a pretty dumb hat anyway. Plus, when they released it, it was visible when you were cloaked.

GnomeSlice

5:45 PM

@Powerlord That's hardcore.

badp

eh. During the TF2 birthday I used cloak time to spam the noisemaker

people weren't really chasing after me because of that, unfortunately

Powerlord

If you use tf_forced_holiday 3 on a server, the birthday noisemaker is still useable. \o/

At least I think it's 3.

badp

aha! I knew there was more than tf_birthday 1 to it

Powerlord

0 is no forced holiday, 1 is all holidays forced off, 2 is force halloween, 3 is force birthday.

badp

We must tell Marco to put 3 on.

Powerlord

5:47 PM

Birthday forced on also changes the health kits and ammo boxes to the birthday ones. :D

GnomeSlice

Dammit, it didn't work.

Q: What is your hotkey setup for Zerg?

I currently have my hatches on 5, queens on 6-9. Main units on 1-2. Infestors or mutas on 3. Small groups of lings or roaches on 4 for counter-attacks. Remapped 0 to 'w' and have special things on there, such as evo chambers, or all my queens early game. For injecting, I have inject as the space...

starcraft-2

GnomeSlice

@Lazers Ugh. Close.

Powerlord

@Lazers This sounds like a list question...

Aw, I got rid of my extra Engineer spurs. No more joking about giving them to badp.

Wipqozn

@Powerlord It sounds like a question that could be improved.

Arda Xi

5:48 PM

Fitocracy has a minimum age of 18.

user30

@BADP I TOTALLY BOOKMARKED THAT CONVERSATION BEFORE YOU

user30

and you got a star for it

Wipqozn

I'm voting to close, but leaving suggestions on how he can improve it.

user30

@Arda Does it?

Wipqozn

There is a good question there.

user30

5:48 PM

I had myself on as 17 before, er, two Fridays ago

Powerlord

@Wipqozn How? It sounds like an opinion question to me. How would you change it?

Arda Xi

@ThomasMcDonald I can't choose a year earlier than 1993.

Wipqozn

@Powerlord

> What's your hotkey setup? I'd love to get some new ideas on how to improve my setup.

Grace Note

@Wipqozn So what would the improved question be?

It's a bit vague.

Powerlord

@Wipqozn Still opinion based and list question.

GnomeSlice

5:50 PM

@GraceNote Empty.

user30

@Arda oh.

Wipqozn

@GraceNote "What are the elements of an effective keyboard set-up?"

something like that

Powerlord

facepalm I just tried to log into GMail using my work username and password.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Still subjective.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice No more then "what are the elements of a good build"

GnomeSlice

5:52 PM

The whole point of customizable setups is so you can match your own playstyle.

Wipqozn

I'm sure my wording could be improved, but that is what I'm trying to get at.

Grace Note

@Wipqozn Open-ended without further clarification

Excepting the originals, we've already pointed out that build questions without goals are too open-ended - there's just too much attack angle.

GnomeSlice

(Is what I meant)

A Wild @Mana Appears

Hurray, it worked.

Wipqozn

@GraceNote Hm, true. However if he were to state specific things he was looking for in a set-up, I think it could be a solid question.

Mana

So I heard GnomeSlice likes vaporware.

Powerlord

5:53 PM

Does NewEgg have third-parties selling stuff through it these days? I find it suspicious that I'm being shipped all 3 items in my order as separate packages.

GnomeSlice

@Mana What's vapourware? :3

(Didn't read them)

Mana
