Does anyone know if I can pause this LoL installer? I mean there's a pause button but can I actually shut down?
 
Ooh, you're installing? I don't know if you can pause it, by the way.
 
@NickT As in can you see through their fog of war and stuff? Nay.
@RonanForman While it's installing, watch some videos on how to play. The LoL vids on the official site are pretty good at explaining the basics.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Yeah. But I can't play it today with 2 hours to go anyway.
 
@GraceNote I'm so excited about this
 
@RonanForman Yes, you can pause.
It'll just pick up where it left off, if I'm remembering correctl.
 
8:08 PM
@RavenDreamer Yay!
IIRC there was something about different servers, which one should I join?
 
@RonanForman If you're in NA, join NA.
 
I'm not.
 
If you're in Europe, join NA if you want to play with SE folks.
 
Can I change?
 
Ask @FallenAngelEyes about any potential latency issues.
 
8:09 PM
I was gone for over an hour, and only 25% of MW3 copies set aside for Amazon's Gold Box sale have sold
 
So, what kind of OS compatibility does this game have? Windows-only seriously drops the chances of me installing it...
 
@RonanForman no
 
Hmmm.. That seems silly.
 
Accounts for EU and US are completely separate
 
@Powerlord I think much like madden, the value of a CoD game drops exponentially every month after release
 
8:10 PM
it kinda sucks
 
Can I have different accounts though?
 
@RonanForman Yes
But
 
@agent86 Very likely
It doesn't help that its sale price is still $40
 
If you earn like, 6,000 IP on one account and/or buy champs, they won't be accessible on the other
 
That's all I got.

1 min ago, by Ronan Forman
Hmmm.. That seems silly.
 
@RavenDreamer Small tree?
@RonanForman My ping isn't too bad, usually around 150ms or so.
I very rarely have latency issues, but I also have a pretty good ISP, so YMMV

Q: Why does Onmund keep on blocking instead of fighting?

RobinEverything was going great until we came across some bad guys and all he did was block. I changed his weapons, I told him to do stuff, I told him to leave and hired him back. Nothing worked. I don't want to kill him because I'm married to the guy and he's a great follower, but he just won't do!...

 
@FallenAngelEyes Where do I find these videos? (The LoL help ones)
 
8:15 PM
I went and added my LoL referral link to my stack exchange profile.
We'll see if that does anything, ahaha.
 
@RavenDreamer I'd be happy with one, one successful referral. ;_;
 
@RavenDreamer That reminds me, I need to update my profile.
@GraceNote: Say, have you ever considered playing TF2?
 
@Powerlord To add more info about how awesome you are at TF2? :P
@Powerlord He hates steam, remember?
 
@RavenDreamer Nope.
 
@Powerlord yeah, and on top of that they want you to drop $50 to get maps early. bastards.
 
8:17 PM
@RavenDreamer So, no native support. Not good, but not a dealbreaker if it works well on Wine.
 
@Powerlord I've considered playing it, yes.
 
@agent86 Clearly everyone should pay $0 for TF2 instead.
Where the maps are free!
TF2 started with 6 maps. The PC version now has around 50.
 
user30
ooh, df 2012 patch notes
 
@Powerlord free?!? what blasphemy is this? do you have frat boys and 12 year old screaming racial slurs at you?
and how much per year so that I can play my PC games "Online"
 
8:19 PM
@agent86 No! :D
 
@Powerlord WHAT?!?
WHAT SORCERY IS THIS!?
 
Then again, I tend to play on servers that have pretty strict rules.
If I played on Valve servers, that might happen.
 
My first experience with the game was exactly like that
 
@agent86 this is actually most common on paid services (i.e. XBL)
 
I played a 3 day pass, left in disgust, tried it again when it went free to play, and fell in love with it
although it's been a while since I played
 
8:21 PM
Urgh, I don't have my root password for my game server box memorized and it's telling me I have 6 updates pending.
 
interesting that the more accessible platforms have the more tolerable users
 
(also, the rule about always coming back to talk about tf2 is still in effect! Yay!)
 
I think you're all lying. There's no way there are games on the internet you can play for free without having people scream obscenities at you.
I pay good money every year to be screamed at and I would not have it any other way!
good day, sirs.
 
Trolololo
Speaking of which, koth_lolcano is a funny map.
 
@agent86 interesting business opportunity there
 
8:23 PM
@agent86 You hiring?
 
7 Stupidest Things That Make People Proud This... is actually very well-written and makes some good points.
 
On koth_lolcano, parts of this song play whenever someone dies by running into a giant flaming LOL or the lava on the map rises (covering the control point area)
 
@FallenAngelEyes Occasionally, one of their articles is.
but, I'm afraid @agent86 beat you to it.
1 hour ago, by agent86
oh man, I am so guilty of being proud of some of these things
@Powerlord That sounds like an awesome map.
 
@John Ah, missed backlog
 
koth_lolcano_b2. Look it up! :D
 
8:26 PM
@FallenAngelEyes Everyone does.
 
@agent86 You miss out on a ton of single player internet games. ♪
 
Wine appears to support all of LOL 1.0.0.x except the store. Is that is the latest version? Is the store important?
 
@FallenAngelEyes REPOST!!!! oh, sorry, reddit is in another tab
 
@GraceNote But you've never actually decided yes (sorry, I just realized I never replied to this)
 
I find this quite awesome. But how is he jumping so far?
 
8:30 PM
@John I forget, have you played TF2 before?
 
@Powerlord On occasion.
I think it's my second most played Steam game ever.
Which isn't saying much.
 
@Powerlord Well, no, I've decided a "no" for now. I'm not divorced from the prospect in the future, though.
 
I play it for Game On. That's about it.
 
@John Well, he's playing Scout, which moves 20% or so faster than normal and has a double jump.
 
I wonder if Cassiopeiabot is going to replace Ryzebot for "champs that make me run away really fast"
 
8:31 PM
@Powerlord ooOOOOooooh
 
Maybe it's only 10% faster... I forget.
The screwup in that video is him using the Force a' Nature gun, which has self-knockback.
(whoops)
 
@ThomasMcDonald goshdarnit, you got my hopes up before I realized what you had found.
 
Actually, I'm not sure why anyone would use the Force-a-Nature gun these days once they have the achievement to kill someone by knocking them into a pit or something.
 
@RavenDreamer What's that?
 
(Valve nerfed the Force-a-Nature so the enemy only gets knocked back at close range)
 
8:35 PM
He found the googledoc with the collective Devlog entries from ToadyOne, creator of Dwarf Fortress.
 
@GraceNote if I play a single player game, I have to also be playing an mp3 of a kid swearing loudly and calling me various inappropriate words. It's a challenge, but sometimes I make the effort.
 
@Powerlord Because when the stars align, and you hit with every single pellet of both shots, you deal more burst damage!!!1!!1
 
@agent86 Clearly I should send you "Ode to Counter Strike".
 
Oh, remember that thing I linked to earlier about how the US was minting a bunch of $1 coins despite no one wanting them? Apparently last month they finally stopped.

Q: Platformer game with fat guy

AmberIt´s a platformer game with this fat guy wearing his underwear and a white old shirt, he goes through various levels, i remember that there is one that he is in his basement or attic, and there is one that he is in an office, and one that he is in an office and one that he is out in the city at n...

 
8:36 PM
@RavenDreamer Use the Soda Popper then.
 
@Powerlord Ah, then there's your answer
They got the FoN from achievements, but don't have the Soda Popper from random drops / buying.
 
Although, to be honest, I haven't checked how many pellets the Soda Popper gets.
 
Are badge notifications on meta in a different font than gaming?
 
If it has 11, there's no point in using the FaN
The fact that running from your spawn to the front line completely charges the Soda Popper doesn't make it overpowered!
 
@RavenDreamer @agent86 Paging gaming's Jon Skeet equivalents: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3115731#3115731
 
8:39 PM
@DaveMcClelland The main site uses 'PFTempestaSevenRegular', Sans Serif. Testing Meta now...
 
@DaveMcClelland I don't get badges on meta enough to know.
 
@RavenDreamer Terrible mod
 
They should be different
 
@John The font on meta doesn't seem bolded or as large a point or something
 
Well, not the font choice, but the coloration
 
8:40 PM
@GraceNote Coloration, sure, but it seems like a different size
 
Take a snapshot, wait until you get a new main-site badge, then compare them side-by-side.
 
@badp Google + will be allowing pseudonyms Of potential interest to you, though with weird caveats like "Pseudonyms aren’t legitimate profile names to Google unless you can prove you’ve established an identity using said pseudonyms." (No idea what "proof" requires)
 
@DaveMcClelland The font appears to be the same.
 
This has the added benefit of, if they are different sizes, you have physical evidence to start a Meta bug report.
 
8:41 PM
There, @RavenDreamer - compare that to all your parent notifications
 
@GraceNote Better. StackExchange.notify.show("foo","1");
 
@John Try that one someone who actually does that stuff.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Also, you were beat to it. :P This time by Ullallulloo.
 
I'm in a different browser on a different computer than normal, so it's quite possible that's causing the difference
 
@GraceNote Hey, it's instant satisfaction rather than having to wait for a new badge. Besides, you can make notifications that say anything you want. :D
 
8:43 PM
I think the obvious solution is for everyone to go vote on my parent questions/answers until I get a badge
 
@DaveMcClelland It actually doesn't look like the right font at all, honestly.
 
@John Oh well
 
@GraceNote ^this, it's the pixely one on the main site.
 
@GraceNote Exactly - it looks quite different than I'm used to seeing. I didn't know if it was a meta issue or a computer issue
 
@DaveMcClelland I'm getting 12px 'PFTempestaSevenRegular',sans-serif - your screenshot does not look like that font
 
8:43 PM
@DaveMcClelland I think it's a computer issue. I clearly recall pixel badge notifications on our Meta.
 
@DaveMcClelland Yes, that font is definitely not the normal font.
 
yeah, seems like it's a local issue @DaveMcClelland - what browser are you using?
 
For the sake of debugging, I have to earn a badge on gaming now
@IanPugsley Firefox 8.0
 
@DaveMcClelland just call StackExchange.notify.show("foo","1"); like @John said
from Firebug's console tab
 
@IanPugsley I'm not sure my corporate image will allow me to install firebug
 
8:46 PM
@DaveMcClelland Not 9?
 
See a difference?
 
@Powerlord 8.0 is the last corporate-approved version
@John Yeah, that's the font I'm used to seeing
 
@John Difference with truth, yeah.
 
@DaveMcClelland And that's still the normal font.
 
Can someone (temporarily) add an upvote to this question? gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/40038/…
 
8:47 PM
@ArdaXi ಠ_ಠ
 
Thanks for pushing that to 10, whoever it was. Now I just need to wait for badges to update. However long that takes
Upvotes for science!
 
 
Whenever I hear the phrase "hold a candle to <X>," I always think of the song "Coin Operated Boy" by the Dresden Dolls
Also, I don't know anyone who isn't my grandma that still uses that phrase regularly
 
@DaveMcClelland Eh, I needed something.
 
@John Want to try? I've always wondered about your flammability.
 
8:51 PM
I can fake virtually any screenshot I want. :D
 
Your point?
 
@ArdaXi Bacon
 
Hm... I'm mean today. Why am I so mean today?
 
@DaveMcClelland Whenever I hear the phrase, I just think of The Adventure of Link.
 
8:52 PM
@ArdaXi You're Arda?
 
Science experiment over - this computer is kooky
Whoever tossed me that upvote can take it back if they wish. I wanted knowledge, not rep
 
@StateOfMI Seriously? I can see the image Dave linked to 2 images ago, but not the last images Arda and Dave linked?
I swear they use a random number generator every time someone posts an imgur image to decide if that image is blocked or not.
 
@DaveMcClelland Isn't rep supposed to rep-resent knowledge

@OrigamiRobot Ha! Puns are the best </sarcasm>
Thank god markdown didn't kill that
 
...how did that manage to happen...
 
8:57 PM
@OrigamiRobot How did what manage to happen?

Q: Is it still possible to get Diner Dash on the PS3?

animusonThe IGN page for Diner Dash says it was released for PS3 in November of 2009, but I can't find any information about it in the PlayStation Store or on the PlayStation website (US & UK). Is this game no longer available for some reason? Is there still anywhere to buy a code for it or anything?...

 
@Powerlord Arda's wasn't important. He was merely demonstrating that he's the absolute worst person to talk to while in a hospital waiting room.
 
@OrigamiRobot I lol'd. I love puns.
 
@DaveMcClelland are you psychic or am I missing something?
or both?
 
8:58 PM
@Wipqozn You would love puns
@OrigamiRobot I wouldn't rule out either possibility
 
@OrigamiRobot All three.

Q: Platformer game with fat guy

AmberIt's a platformer game with this fat guy wearing his underwear and an old, white shirt. He goes through various levels. I remember one in particular that takes place in his basement or attic, and there is also one that takes place in an office, and one where he is out in the city at night fight...

 
> CRTC Says Rogers Violating Federal Net Neutrality Rules
 
Reopen votes, anyone?
 
Psst, FCC, the CRTC is doing a better job than you are.
 
8:59 PM
@DaveMcClelland on my screen, you replied to something i said before i said it
 
@OrigamiRobot Not on mine.
