@AshleyNunn their stock ticker for the last 6 months has been doing a pretty good "crashing airplane" impression
 
user15026
@agent86 Oh dear :( That is super not good. Glad you aren't there for that.

Q: Is there any reason to not complete the game?

ZenoWould there be anything in Skyrim where you wouldn't want to complete the main story? (Yes, I know the game continues after that) Like something you can no longer access, or do after beating the game?

 
@AshleyNunn sometimes I answer them with an english accent to avoid detection "ello guvn'r! I noticed you're 'avin a problem with your game!"
 
@agent86 haha
 
user15026
@agent86 Accents are good. No one would be able to tell it was you, then.
 
12:02 AM
@AshleyNunn yeah, it was a bad place all around. I'm glad I bailed, this new place is much better.
okay, enough slacking off for me. HAHA, no, it's just time to go eat food someone else prepared for me. SLACKING OFF COMBO!
 
user15026
I don't know if anyone else is a Club Nintendo member, but they are offering Majora's Mask for Wii free as a reward until the end of the month.
 
user15026
...well, if you have 150 reward coins, that is.
 
@AshleyNunn whaaaat
 
What are these reward coins and how do I get them?
Eh, who am I kidding, I haven't even unpacked my Wii after I moved into this place two years ago...
 
12:17 AM
@Brant a Nigerian Prince has left you 1,000,000 reword coin. A simple trasacton feee is on needed to complete this. Please send 50 us Dollars to my PayPal to cover these.
 
@OrigamiRobot He's lying...send them to mine!
 
Also it's 50,000 US Dollars, not 50. Obviously. What kind of shitty reward is worth $50?
 
user15026
12:41 AM
@Brant Make an account at club.nintendo.com - you can register various Wii/DS/3DS games there (they have a slip of paper with a code on it where the manual is) and ds/3ds games are worth 30 coins, wii games are worth 50. you can also do post-play surveys for games for 10 coins
 
user15026
there are a lot of different rewards.
 
@AshleyNunn I keep meaning to do that, but then I remember I'm lazy.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I am a little lucky - my family buys a lot of random games (that they don't really play) and they give me the Club Nintendo codes so I get a lot of points that way XD

Q: Vlindrel Hall house mannequin never appears

Michael RatanapinthaSome folks have had trouble with their mannequins disappearing once you hang armor on them. My problem's worse - for me, the mannequin never appeared in the first place! I bought Vlindrel Hall, the player house in Markarth. There is supposed to be a mannequin in the living room once you buy the...

 
@AshleyNunn points digger.
 
user15026
12:50 AM
@Wipqozn You betcha.
 
I know the joke doesn't really apply that much.... but still, I'm making it.
oh man
I need to make a form for my server side scripting class
almost done it..
Guess what it's about?
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I have no idea. XD
 
@Wipqozn the viability of komodo dragons as war beasts?
 
@OrigamiRobot no
 
@Wipqozn the viability of komodo dragons as babysitters?
 
12:52 AM
@OrigamiRobot uh, no
Also, I was the one who chose what my form was about
not the professor
I was really hoping you would all guess it right away
 
@Wipqozn the viability of komodo dragons as airline pilots?
 
maybe @OrigamiRobot knows and is just trolling though
 
@Wipqozn maybe i like komodo dragons
 
@OrigamiRobot well I like ponies
HINT HINT NUDGE NUDGE
 
@Wipqozn the viability of komodo dragons as pony replacements?
 
user15026
12:53 AM
@Wipqozn Something to do with My Little Pony stuff? (Sorry, got distracted by TV)
 
@AshleyNunn Yes
 
@Wipqozn damn I was so close
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I am a good guesser! :P

actually, never mind..FOR NOW

Q: Does the Oghma Infinium count towards Reader?

HarpalAfter completing the deadric quest "Discerning the Transmundane" you obtain a skill book called Oghma Infinium. This is a skill book and gives +5/+4 to particular skills depending on which path you choose when reading the book. The book is only allowed to read once (unless a glitch is exploited...

 
Flash has been leaking memory like liquor on fire for a while.
Sure, there's an update it wanted to install 9 days ago but couldn't because that thing wanted me to reboot the system right after I'd just did that so fuck that you're going to wait
 
oh @badp, you're such a character.
Surely Gaming Stack Exchange wouldn't be the same without you.
 
1:30 AM
It's kinda fun to look at Windows kind of falling down on its knees after 9d20h of uptime
I have a feeling that in four hours the laptop will just stop working if I don't reboot.
 
@badp Yeah, Windows totally quits after about 2 weeks.
 
@John oh, so I have 4 more days!
 
@badp If you're lucky.
 
If I'm lucky.
 
@badp FEELIN' LUCKY PUNK?!
 
1:32 AM
oh look, Apple wants to update shit. ignores
 
@AshleyNunn I just tried to make those exact edits!
 
@badp Hm, you sound like me.
 
@John So the question becomes, are you feelin' lucky, punk?
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot Haha awesome. Great minds think alike.
 
@AshleyNunn there is still an extra comma in the 2nd sentence
 
1:33 AM
@badp Kinda...I mean, I found this place.
 
@OrigamiRobot what? LINK! BAN!
 
Granted, that was a year ago. My luck may have worn off...
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot anything else?
 
@John yeah, so definitely you're not on the super-lucky side of things. You could've found true love instead.
 
@badp Well yeah, if I had been looking.
 
1:34 AM
or an unusual hat in TF2.
 
@AshleyNunn not that i noticed
 
@badp Not premium.
 
@John WHAT? YOU DON'T HAVE AN UNUSUAL HAT?
me neither
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot Cool. Thanks for being a second set of eyes :)

Q: need help identifying old 90s math PC game

tomI'm trying to figure out the name of an old PC game (pretty sure it was MS-DOS) that was focused on math. I don't remember much about it, I'm pretty sure there was a robot, and there were some kind of snakes/aliens that would appear and if you solved a math problem correctly, they would disappear...

Q: How much can I improve the Ninghtingale Bow?

aditya menonI have the perks from the heavy armor side of smithing, and I currently improved my Nightingale bow to Flawless, inflicting 75 damage. I would like to improve it higher. Everyone talks about how armor can be improved infinitely using the Alchemy-Enchant-Smithing loop (thus it's possible to have h...

Q: Proventus won't sell me house decorations

aditya menonI bought Breezehome, I got the Whiterun House Decorating guide, and read it. I also visited my home and restarted the game quite a few times ever since. However, Proventus Avenicci lacks the dialogue option "I'd like to decorate my home". I'm considering downloading a mod from nexus to fix up my...

 
1:35 AM
@OrigamiRobot Your lack of capitalization hurts. >.< If nothing else, please do the "I"s.
I'm sorry, but that's been bugging me for way too long. I feel better now.
 
What capitalize I's but not U's!
Why is I more important than U?
 
@John I usually do, but I'm on a netbook and typing is painful in itself.
 
Why so self-centered hm?
 
@badp Well you know what they say "There is no "I" in "team", but there is a "me"".
@OrigamiRobot :(
 
Training costs in SW:TOR are outrageous.
 
1:36 AM
@John There's meat in team. Could it mean you can't have a team without bacon?
 
@John nothing is where my fingers want it to be so I just dont bother
 
@badp Hm, we've have to check with the expert. Oh, @Powerlord!
@OrigamiRobot Ok. That makes sense.
 
@OrigamiRobot at least it's not an Apple keyboard.
 
@badp fuck Apple keyboards!
 
They only have 1 key.
 
1:37 AM
@badp I actually love apple keyboards
 
@Tristan "i"?
 
user15026
....argh. That was not my URL bar. :P
 
@John Nah. It's an apple key.
 
@Tristan Oh
 
Though, lack of a Print Screen key is bothersome.
 
1:39 AM
Average Apple Keyboard, full size.
 
@Tristan I lol'ed.
 
@John i Could cap all The Wrong word and use bad Grammer....
 
@OrigamiRobot That's fine. As long as you cap something.
 
@John The shift key on this makes me want to vomit on a puppy.
 
@OrigamiRobot :(
 
1:48 AM
@John wHAT IF i TYPED LIKE THIS?
 
@OrigamiRobot Worse.
Totally worse.
 
ClEaRlY pErIoDiC cApItAlIzAtIoN iS tHe WaY tO gO.
 
Thats what I was going for
 
@OrigamiRobot Is it one of those short shift keys on the left that has the pipe and backspace between it and Z?
 
@FallenAngelEyes What kind of keyboards have you been using? O.o
 
1:53 AM
@Tristan This is apparently a UK layout, I dunno
I hate it, but it was a G15 on the cheap, so I picked it up anyway
It also has one of those big Enter keys that takes up 2 rows, which I despise
 
@FallenAngelEyes No, it's just short period
 
@FallenAngelEyes man ,I love image not found.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I really like my keyboard.
 
1:58 AM
@FallenAngelEyes This is the worst thing I've ever seen.
 
I just have a basic keyboard.
Nothing fancy.
 
@Wipqozn I'm working on a steampunk keyboard
 
@OrigamiRobot Apparently wikipedia doesn't like direct linking their images, I dunno. Anywho, article for the G15 keyboard has the UK layout on it for the orange version, that's the one I have.
 
@Wipqozn my dream keyboard would be an Optimus Maximus
 
2:00 AM
@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, I don't like the enter key on that G15...
 
@FallenAngelEyes I hear they are actually pretty terrible.
 
@Tristan Yeah, I really wish it had the US layout instead, but beggars can't be choosers.
 
I would like one though, since I switch between Dvorak and QWERTY
 
anybody have any experience with ergonomic mice? like the kind that are oriented sideways?
 
I can touch type and all, but for some reason if the keys are arranged in a layout I have trouble typing in the other one... it's weird
 
2:02 AM
If it's any consolation, I bought a knock-off Logitech keyboard from a bazaar in Iraq for $10... The keys were in QWERTY layout. Even said QWERTY. But when I typed it, I'd get KV3[\ or something to that effect.
 
@agent86 I use a Logitech MX Revolution
 
this is the kind of thing I'm considering
 
@agent86 Oh, that kind? Nay, never tried.
 
Hey all.
@agent86 Cool mouse.
 
and now I should sleep, night all
 
2:08 AM
g'night :)
 
@FallenAngelEyes G'night.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Goodnight!
 
I like these
 
@IanPugsley Is that a trackball in the mouse?
 
@RedriderX yep - you don't move the mouse, just move the trackball with your thumb
 
2:14 AM
 
I use one at work and love it
 
@IanPugsley Very interesting.
 
I can customize the weight on that bad boy.
 
I just mainly know of this one:
It's even a choking hazard.
 
@FallenAngelEyes You linked to the image webpage, not the image
@agent86 Looks terrible
 
2:19 AM
 
@badp yeah, not buying it for looks though, buying it so I don't kill my wrists. I have some kind of RSI, and it's been worse since I started doing so much extra typing. I blame everyone who asks questions on this site.
 
@agent86 I almost use my normal mouse like that sometimes.

Q: Can i play WoW without internet access?

KarissaI cant use internet for games. It uses up too much of my monthly bandwidth for internet. I'd also really like to try the game without using too much of my bandwidth.

Q: What does the percentage displayed under each PSN username mean?

Luc MWhen you compare trophies with someone on PSN, a percentage is displayed under both usernames. What do the percentages mean? (I'm not talking about percentages on each game.)

Q: When you buy WoW, do you still have to pay for more features?

KarissaI like the game, and I am hoping that if I buy the game I get the game and won't keep having to pay money for it or for extra features.

 
I've tried a bunch of different things, trackballs don't really work for me. the logitech mice I have now are fairly decent, but I kind of need to move up to something more wrist-friendly. it sucks that they cost like $100 though.
 
Well, got to go, bye all.
 
2:34 AM
Any word as to why there isn't a promotional grant yet for this month?
 
@Pearsonartphoto I think they're planning on changing the format up a little bit
at least, that was the word at last mention
 
@Pearsonartphoto Promotional grant system is being changed up, slow month for game releases
 
Hmmm. Darn. I was really hoping to finally be able to take advantage of it...
Previously, I had too low of rep, or there was no real choice (IE, Dec...), but there's actually a new game coming out that I wouldn't mind getting...
 
Oh lookie, it's @AnnaLear the SE employee!
congrats on the new job
 
@Wipqozn Thanks. :)
 
2:36 AM
Does this mean we need to salute you from now on?
 
Anna Lear is a SE employee?
Wow, when did that happen...
 
@Pearsonartphoto This past Monday. =)
 
Cool. What's your job?
 
@Wipqozn Not really, but I won't say no to a salute.
@Pearsonartphoto Community manager. Like @GraceNote, but not as cool. :)
 
@AnnaLear ah okay then
salutes @AnnaLear
 
2:38 AM
@Wipqozn I wish mods got saluted all the time :(
 
@Wipqozn As you were.
 
And Dori as well?

@Pearsonartphoto Dori is no longer with the company, but she was a community manager as well, yes.
 
Didn't know that... I'm so out of touch...

Q: How many gold coins do I need to unlock all powers on all skylanders?

KarissaI find it exciting getting new powers to beat Kaos with. How rich do I need to be to get all the powers in the game?

@AnnaLear Oh, I didn't know Dora had left.

Q: Are flame finger games a scam?

KarissaDoes flame finger purposely make some people win and give everyone else the hard mazes so they'll lose? Me and my friend were playing flame finger at GWL and we earned lots of tickets but thats just from playing. I tink the game was a scam and wanted us to lose.

 
user15026
this isnt dealing with video games, is it?
 
user15026
I have no idea what a flame finger game is
 
user20683
 
user20683
it's not a video game per se but it sorta fits
 
user20683
2:59 AM
I've flagged it for being non-constructive though
 
user20683
as it's rather combative in tone and doesn't really answer anything
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer Yeah, it doesn't really have a definitive answer, does it?
 
Yeah, that's pretty much an "X sucks, am I right?" kind of question.

@Lazers late to the party
 
user15026
It missed out on all the fun.
 
@Mana I'm willing to half-heartedly salute you every other Tuesday, if that works for you
 
user20683
The question is kind of self answering too in that all Arcade games are designed to cheat you out of money
 
user20683
that's why real pinball is way harder than video game pinball

unless that pinball game is a real simulator
 
@IanPugsley hmm, I'm pulling the data from the API, so all non-beta sites should be on there.
 
user4704
Sometimes I wonder about the 20 rep chat limitation.
 
user15026
@JoshPetrie Oh?
 
user4704
It seems the only people I ever refer to chat (on gamedev) are brand-new people asking entirely subjectively questions that would be great to talk about in chat. But of course they lack the rep to actually do that
 
user4704
I'm not sure what the rep gate is trying to protect against.
 
3:23 AM
@JoshPetrie Spambots?
 
user4704
Spambots could just as easily vote each other up to get the rep.
 
true, but how about people who can't type coherent sentences? Getting 20 rep on the non-SO sites isn't particularly difficult, you just need to be able to understand the rules and type clear sentences.
 
@JoshPetrie Room owners can bypass that to give <20 rep users the ability to talk.
 
@JoshPetrie That's detected and users are removed.
 
user4704
@AnnaLear How quickly though? Fully-automatic solutions could misfire if the bots all take different proxies to the site.
 
3:26 AM
The main focus of SE is the sites not the chat rooms. I don't think it's unreasonable to require a minimum level of participation (a couple upvoted answers) before accessing chat.
 
user4704
@John Oh that's interesting, I didn't know that.
 
@JoshPetrie Let's just say it's not usually a problem.
 
@JoshPetrie "Explicit Write Access" in the room owners permissions menu.
Or something like that.
 
user4704
Well that's what I'm saying; at least in my experience it's never helped and only been a detriment. shrug
 
user4704
I'm going to look for a mod to disable dragons in Skyrim now, because they are ruining my game.
 
3:28 AM
@JoshPetrie There's a mod that replaces them with My Little Pony, if that helps.
 
@JoshPetrie It's difficult to say that these things "never help" when you can't really tell when it's helping
 
user4704
@AnnaLear I am morbidly curious.
 
@AnnaLear Don't they still act like dragons though?
 
There's a better video somewhere, too.
 
user4704
Wow.

Q: How do you edit the enchantment level for armor files? (not in-game)

aditya menonI found a mod that was a "Ring of Arcane Inspiration" on nexus, which basically grants you free magicka for all schools of magic. I would like to know if it is possible to do something similar, and raise the enchantment on the nightingale hood to a higher % - which file do I edit, and what progr...

 
@murgatroid99 That's the one.
 
user15026
@murgatroid99 That is so bizarre.
 
user4704
So much IP violation! That's pretty funny though.
 
@murgatroid99 I love that mod.
 
user4704
3:35 AM
I still want them excised from my game. They're like mobile Oblivion gates.
 
@murgatroid99 Though, I do think it'd be better if they'd used her "You're going to LOVE ME!!!" instead of the yay.
 
@Tristan The fact that the yay is so out of place makes it better.
Plus that line is probably too long for a roar
 
Probably.
 
@IanPugsley the API call wasn't returning the full list of sites... it has been fixed :)
so if you were trying to access stinkingbadges on a "less popular" site, it should be possible to do so now

Guillaume CotéMy screen have a resolution of 1368x768. When I play civilization (version 1), I got the image in a resolution of 640x400 at middle of the screen, the rest being black.

@murgatroid99 I lol'd so hard when they started breathing fire
 
@OrigamiRobot Apparently my drive is formatted incorrectly for symlinks or junctions. :(
I checked out the paging file, and it's 1/5th the size of the framework... :/
 
4:31 AM
So, I've learned that it's next to impossible to find groups around level 25 in SWTOR. o.o
Is there a way to play a game on Steam without it pausing your downloads?
 
@Tristan yes, simply resume them manually
 
@John What? how did you manage that?
