@Tristan I have -no- idea.
 
user15026
I think American, because it would be netflix.com not .ca
 
Hmm...
 
@Tristan you might wanna add which browser youre using
 
@OrigamiRobot Done and done.
 
@Tristan So, how are you running Terraria so well?

Q: What plug-in do I need to play Spiral Knights?

TristanBasically, the internet provider for the hotel I'm staying won't let me run Steam, so I can't play Spiral Knights through there. I've been trying to run it through Kongregate, but every time I try to launch the game, I get this error: I'm using Chrome and I have Java fully updated, as well as ...

 
@Lazers I took a stab at it
 
@John No idea.
 
user15026
HURRAH I FOUND THE CASTLE.
 
@AshleyNunn All thanks to my brilliant answer, right?
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot Everybody helped. diplomacy
 
3:11 AM
@AshleyNunn There's no diplomacy when it comes to the checkmark...
 
user15026
@John I know. :(
 
@OrigamiRobot I got passed the 'Plug-in missing" message... Now it's just a grey screen.
 
@Tristan Hm, that's what I get, but I had assumed that was because I'm not on Windows.
 
@Tristan check to see if it's disabled? somehow? also try a different browser.
 
@OrigamiRobot I restarted Chrome and now it's working. But... I'll have to start over if I play on Kongregate, won't I?
 
3:13 AM
@Tristan So says Ullallulloo.
Well, you have 3 options, play with lag, start over, or don't play at all. :/
I can help you get some of your equipment back.
 
@John Well, I won't be on hotel internets much longer.
 
@Tristan Yay!
 
@John for terraria: "Cant change to Fullscreen via Settings?
Hitting Alt+Enter will toggle fullscreen and Windowed modes."
 
Okay, I'm going to be shameless here for a minute. My improved answer deserves quite a few up votes:

A: Where is the castle?

WipqoznHere is the path you need to take: (There will be a gate blocking your path directly above here for now) (the bridge won't be there yet) (there will be a bush over the steps) Here is the complete map with the directions (view it in another...

 
@Wipqozn I can't upvote any harder!
 
user15026
3:16 AM
That answer is a thing of beauty.
 
@OrigamiRobot Been there, tried that. Changing to fullscreen mode went fine, but any attempt to change back has crashed my computer.
 
@AshleyNunn It took me 30 minutes, so it better be beautiful :P
 
@John weird
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I love it. :D
 
user15026
This is why Gaming is cool - People take crazy time to be helpful.

3:17 AM
@AshleyNunn It's because we're awesome.
 
@OrigamiRobot Srlsy. I blame Wine. But not too hard, because without Wine it wouldn't run at all.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Yeah, you are. :D
 
Oh my. I'm 1600 rep away from 10k.
 
Adding to what @AshleyNunn is saying, you guys have seriously helped me keep my sanity during this extensive custody issue I'm going through, so thank you GamingSE peoples!
 
@Tristan You're welcome.
 
3:19 AM
@Tristan I'm welcoming you more.
 
lol
 
Also, sorry to hear about the custody issues. I can't imagine how stressful that must be.
 
@Tristan I AM WELCOMING YOU THE MOST
 
@Wipqozn I have a good lawyer, but she has a team of Army lawyers giving her free legal advice. x_x
 
@Tristan Wait, weren't you in the army? Shouldn't you have Army lawyers?
@AshleyNunn Your question already made the hot list! See? Ask more! Make our site more popular!
 
3:23 AM
@John I was in the Army. But I'm not anymore. lol
 
@Tristan Oh and she is? That could make it sticky. Good luck!
 
@John She isn't, but her new husband is. lol
 
@Tristan Your life is a tad confusing.
 
Gaming.SE has given me an outlet for all my "useless" video game knowledge. In your face MOM!
6
If only there was an 80s/90s cartoons SE...I would dominate
 
@OrigamiRobot I'd give you a run for your money.
 
3:26 AM
@Tristan THIS MAN HAS ISSUED A CHALLENGE
 
@OrigamiRobot Like this one?
Hm. No onebox. I wonder why.
Btw, were we planning on using Mumble tomorrow?
 
@John I can
 
@OrigamiRobot I can't though, that's the thing.
Well I can listen, just not talk.
Attempts to run Terraria on my machine with a mic have failed.
 
@Tristan its hard to adequately test this when google is at your disposal
 
3:29 AM
lol
 
@OrigamiRobot Going.

Q: Help, my robot is naked!

aslumWhere can I find gear for C2-N2? Is there any point? So far it seems like he just sits around in my ship making annoying comments and helps w/ Crew Skill Missions. Is there gear that can help him do missions better? If nothing else can I get stuff to make him look cooler? Is it too much to hope f...

 
1:54 and im a terribad typist
 
@OrigamiRobot That's how long it took you?
 
3:32 AM
@Tristan yes
 
@OrigamiRobot Craap, I went to the stats page and it doesn't show how long it took me. =(
 
@OrigamiRobot Those would be on-topic at movies.SE
 
@Tristan @OrigamiRobot @Ullallulloo Wanna take on another boss or two?
 
@John Can I play Terraria without connecting to steam?
 
3:34 AM
@Tristan I'm pretty sure yes
 
@Tristan Doesn't look like it but you're having no problems with Terraria, right?
 
@John I get really bad lag in Terraria, too.
 
@Tristan Now you tell me.
@Tristan Although apparently "Once you launch steam, and then launch your game, you can exit out of steam."
 
3:39 AM
@Tristan I thought Daria would stump you for sure
 
@John sure
@Tristan damn your fingers!
 
@OrigamiRobot 120 words per minute. =D
 
@Tristan who knows about Snagglepuss? how old are you?
 
3:41 AM
@OrigamiRobot 25
 
@Tristan <- prolly like 50
 
@OrigamiRobot I know about Snagglepuss and I'm...not that old.
 
and youve seen my 'a' and 'e' habits
ok ultimate test
 
@John Tried downloading Omnitool. Norton declared it unsafe and deleted it.
 
ok nvm i cant find the non easy gen 1 pokemon one
 
3:46 AM
@Tristan Then delete Norton!
 
Also, I told you about my lag issues with Terraria. o.O Like... every time I would get lag.
 
is prejudiced against Norton
@Tristan Wasn't that because of Steam?
 
@OrigamiRobot I've never lost at Name the Pokemon.
 
@Tristan glare
 
@John Yeah, but I can't launch terraria and then exit steam.
 
3:47 AM
@Tristan Can't you download Omnitool in spite of Norton?
 
@Tristan kill it with task manager?
 
Snagglepuss... that's a name I haven't heard in years
 
Am I the only person on earth who thought "Ender's Game" was really sad?
 
user4704
Probably not.
 
user4704
3:50 AM
I thought Speaker had a sadder vibe
 
user4704
But Ender's Game wasn't very happy.
 
@JoshPetrie Never heard of that one, though if it's sadder than Ender's Game, I probably don't want to. :/
 
user4704
It's the sequel; Speaker for the Dead.
 
@JoshPetrie Oh! I didn't know it had a sequel.
 
user4704
There are four books in the baseline Ender quartet, an assortment of follow-up stories about other characters (Bean, Peter, et cetera) during the same timeframe, and the most recent novel which directly bridges the time between Game and Speaker (which I enjoyed a lot).
 
user4704
3:54 AM
Speaker for the Dead and the original are my favorite; followed by the most recent one. The various other books (especially those outside the original quartet) are good but not as much so

Q: Please help identify a math pc game for kids set in the medieval times

JessicaI remember playing this when I was in elementary school, so around early 2000s, I think. I played it on either Windows 95 or 98. (I'm betting on the latter, though.) One feature, I remember, of this game was you were allowed to make your own map for you to play. You would have this empty square...

 
@JoshPetrie To think, I always thought it was a stand-alone novel. I guess I've got more on my reading list now!
 
user4704
Check out the... map (for lack of a better word) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ender's_Game_(series)
 
@JoshPetrie Oh wow...
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm still trying to load the friggin' test. o.O
 
3:58 AM
@Tristan You two coming to Terraria?
 
@John I can't. Not without running steam and getting horrendous lag.
 
Part of me wants to read Enders Game again, but part of me thinks that would only depress me.
@Tristan Did you try Omnitool or exiting Steam after Terraria was open?
 
@Tristan damn only 125/151 in 12 minutes
@GraceNote we are having a nostalgia-off
@Tristan 's superior typing skills give him the edge
 
I see

4:07 AM
Venusaur is hard to spell.
 
@Ullallulloo HAHA! SUCCESS
I always fail on victreebel
 
@OrigamiRobot That's what I was trying to type when time got up.
 
@Ullallulloo YOU ARENT @Tristan
 
I gave up on Omastar, Zapdos, and Gyarados.
@OrigamiRobot I KNOW.
 
@Ullallulloo I was so happy :(
 
4:10 AM
I JUST KNOW POKEMON AND WANTED TO TRY IT.
 
=D
<----knows the pokerap
 
@Tristan I HATE YOU AND YOUR STUPID FACE
 
@OrigamiRobot I <3 you too.
 
@Tristan I wont give up that easily
grumble grumble forgot the fossils grumble grumble
 
@OrigamiRobot I've beaten you in all three tests. Do you really want to keep going? If I were you, I'd spare myself further embarrassment.
 
4:13 AM
@Tristan all you have proven is your typing skills
 
@Tristan How on earth could you do that from memory?
 
@Ullallulloo I have a really good memory for pointless things. I can recite the pokerap, the prayer from Boondock Saints, and Sam Jackson's speech from Pulp Fiction from memory.
 
I grew up with Pokemon for years, played almost every game including spin-offs, and watching multiple seasons of the TV show.
@Tristan I couldn't even spell half
 
@Ullallulloo What is the best Pokemon game?
 
@Ullallulloo It took me a few tries. =(
 
4:16 AM
@OrigamiRobot I sense a trick question...?
 
@John I'm sorry. I am defending my honor here!
@Ullallulloo you coming?
 
When I say "skin texture" what do you think of?
 
@badp like in games or IRL?
 
IRL
Do you think of the network of... very small lines on your hand perhaps?
or would you call it otherwise?
In particular I need a better name for those "lines"
 
4:37 AM
@badp Hrm I cant find anything...they have to have s name
 
The lines on the palm of your hand?
In humans, a single transverse palmar crease is a single crease that extends across the palm of the hand, formed by the fusion of the two palmar creases (the heart line and the head line) that people typically have. Because it resembles the usual condition of non-human simians, it is also known as a simian crease or simian line, although these terms have widely fallen out of favor due to their pejorative connotation. Medical significance Single palmar creases are less common than two palmar creases, however 10 per cent of the population have one palmar crease on one hand and 5 per cent h...
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot That is ridiculous. XD
 
@AshleyNunn I hear it EVERYWHERE
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot I know! It's such a distinctive voice, so it is easy to remember
 
@OrigamiRobot I hear Yuri Lowenthal's voice everywhere.
 
user15026
4:43 AM
@badp I call them the creases on my hand
 
Not being able to run steam suuuucks.

user15026
Nothing to play?
 
@AshleyNunn I could play SWTOR, but my internet has been so bad lately that I'd just die a lot.
 
user15026
4:51 AM
Boo :(
 
I could play some Super Nintendo on my emulator, but... I dunno what to play.
 
@Tristan Donkey Kong Country
 
611ms ping from SpeedTest.
 
@Tristan YEESH
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah...
I just tested it again and I'm getting better latency, but the download speed is still crap.
 
5:01 AM
tries to think of non-Steam game for Tristan
You might try King Arthur's Gold. It's free (so far). I've only played it a bit, but @GnomeSlice says it's good.
 
@AshleyNunn Thanks
 
Seems somewhat similar to Terraria.
 
user15026
I have a couple free game coupons for GameHouse? Admittedly, it is casual stuff, but hey, if anyone likes Time Management or Hidden Object stuff, I can totally share
 
Hidden object stuff? =D
 
user15026
@Tristan Yeah. Basically, most stuff on here: www.gamehouse.com
 
user15026
5:05 AM
so if anything in particular makes people go yay, I have a couple coupons...I have a subscrition to their service so I don't need the coupon.
 
Hmm...
 
user15026
Anything that isn't premium/platinum. (Keep in mind, they do have most PopCap stuff, if anyone's taste runs that way.)
 
I'm gonna see how SWTOR acts real quick.
 
user15026
Sure. (I have a few coupons, so if anyone else is interested, that is totally cool)
 
I never realized how many old games there were until I came here and saw all the ITG questions.
 
5:14 AM
@John What did you think there were only like 10? :P
 
@OrigamiRobot Well.....
:P
 
5:42 AM
i give up. =(
 
user15026
5:58 AM
@Tristan Boo :(
 
@AshleyNunn Boo indeed. I can't wait to get back to my 30meg cable. =(
 
user15026
@Tristan I believe it.
 
@AshleyNunn I just don't get what happened. It was great just a few days ago, and now it's just blah.
 
user15026
That's craptacular and unfortunate :(
 
Well, with any luck, I'll be heading home next week.

Q: Elements of a basic RTS?

MechkoWhat are the basic elements of a RTS? I.E.: What are the features without which it is not an RTS? I have played games like Age of Empires and Warcraft, but I'm still not sure which are the defining elements of the genre.

I think this question might be too subjective
 
if anything it's OT
what do you mean by "too subjective"?
 
I mean what one would consider as essential to a RTS might differ significantly from what others do, and given the number of genre bending games there wouldn't be a right or wrong answer
 
3:01 PM
steps in the room, not crashing through anything
 
@Fredy31 who are you and what have you done with @Fredy31?!?!
 
Not crashing into anything!? Unacceptable! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
 
Maybe he crashed into common decency which led him to actually use our non-door
 
Maybe his destructive rampage has left everything shattered and broken and there's nothing left for him to crash through.

@RonanForman oh. eh. SO getting a proper meta, split from the "network capital" site is hardly news. I've been expecting that for ages.
I have more juicy news, but I'll have to hold onto it ♫
 
@badp Well, that proves it. badp is obviously @GraceNote's sock puppet.
 
@badp But it may be actually happening!
 
@RonanForman Six to eight weeks.
 
Looks like I might a slight mistake with this answer yesterday, but have since corrected it, and improved I'd say beyond just the mistake.
 
@Tristan Do you have mumble?
 
3:47 PM
@RonanForman Nosir.
 
It might be a good idea to get before we play, that's assuming you own a mic.
 
3:58 PM
Ooh, I've never survived long enough to see a megabeast.
 
@ArdaXi I assume you died?
well, not you, but all your dwarves.
 
Haven't yet.
 
who knew that communists were that good at LoL
 
Give it time.
 
Not planning to either.
 
4:00 PM
@NickT What does political view have to do with game playing ability?
 
apparently lots
 
@ArdaXi One of the above ground varieties?
 
Oh yeah, and a siege as well.
 
@RonanForman I don't own a mic.
 
@Tristan Can you get it anyway so you can at least hear the rest of us.
 
4:07 PM
Cool. The siegers are dealing with the collossus.
Or the other way 'round depending on how you want to look at it.
 
@RonanForman I can try it, I'm just worried that this hotel wifi can't handle running both
That the right one?
 
can you buy Woot stuff with Amazon gift cards?
 
The colossus broke the wall, goblin got inside, killed all my pets... tantrum spiral incoming.
 
@Tristan Yeah, it doesn't take much bandwidth.
 
k I'll give it a go.
 
Well, my military is gone.
The colossus is about to break into my fortress.
 
@ArdaXi sounds like Fun!
 
That it is.
I should've laced that entrance with cage traps as well.
Well, I don't give up until I have to. We'll see if the situation can be salvaged.
 
That reminds me of hat dash. =(
 
@agent86 yeah, I saw that but it's 10 mo old
 
4:27 PM
@RonanForman I connected to the gamingSE mumble. Can you hop on so I can see if it works?
 
@NickT I think they only really work on amazon.com, even amazon checkout doesn't support them really
ie, you can't use gift card balance on steam, from what others have reported
 
@Tristan you don't think it works! MISBELIEVER! gets out pitch and fork
 
@RonanForman I can hear you.
 
@badp shun the unbeliever, shunnnnnn
 
@Tristan Cool
 
4:28 PM
The magical leopluradon has spokennnnnn.
 
@agent86 I love Charlie the Unicorn
 
@RonanForman Is this the mumble we'll be using?
 
Hmm, other than the colossus right outside and all the tantrums, my fortress is doing quite well.
 
@Tristan Yeah.
 
k
God, I'm tired... lol
Oh, also @badp I had no doubt the GamingSE mumble worked. I just needed to know if my connection could handle it.
 
4:40 PM
@John You ready?
 
Ugh.. I'm not making any promises on my connection. =\
@RonanForman What's the server?
 
@Ronan Not quite...if I'm lucky, Mumble will just work this time.
 
@Tristan No idea, @OrigamiRobot has it.
 
Oh.
 
Same as last night I think.
