@agent86 Heh, I just always thought her thumb was awkwardly on top.
 
@TimStone yeah, I thought maybe that was the case too, but that top finger doesn't really look that much like a thumb. I've been trying to hold a pencil with whatever funky grip she's got on it and I can't quite reproduce it
on a related note, I probably look like I'm pleasuring a pencil right now. not really a good idea to be trying this at work...

Q: Is there a way to remove all items from squad members, or exchange items between squad members?

Alec D.Is there a way to remove all items from squad members, or easily exchange items between squad members? It can be obnoxious to try and remember which items you've placed on which squad member, especially if you have many recruits and only a few medkits/scopes.

 
@TimStone We have opposable thumbs for a reason, not to neglect that reason!
 
Rifles can only hold five bullets.
 
9:09 PM
@GraceNote Stranger things have happened in Liberty City!
 
What's wrong with having a few extra fingers
 
I'm glad I had the opportunity to find that out. :)
 
We just need to give them names
 
Yep, I'm poisoned.
Stupid mushrooms/dirty water.
 
user15026
This talk about fiction and the different types makes me realize just how many books I have read....I can come up with examples for just about every type. XD
 
9:15 PM
I am going to die of exhaustion while sleeping in a building with a campfire and a sleeping bag.
It's just because of my insomnia, I guess.
I'm trying to sleep over and over.
 
I hope you're talking about your avatar rather than yourself
 
I don't know what I'm supposed to do now.
Guess I'll ask a question about it...
 
Finally!
I have both a rifle and bullets
I'm pretty sure ranged is the most useless skill in the game, since bullets are so rare
 
they dont let you use rifles without bullets?
 
@Brian ...
 
9:25 PM
not for shooting obviously
it still would make a good bat
 
@Brian Well I'm sure you could club someone with it, but then the ranged skill still wouldn't be much use
 
Tie a rope to it and throw it :) problem solved
Although i doubt the game designers built that in
 
@Brian Are you sure? Lots of bandits use them as melee weapons.
 
@badp Single Player, Multiplayer, Multiplayer Co-Op?? Seriously??? :)
 
9:34 PM
@Brian I'm not sure most guns are actually made to be used as bludgeoning instruments. There's actually lots of small parts to break

Q: Besides disabling items, what is the best way to prevent duplication glitches on tekkit servers?

WijagelsI have had many issues with people on my tekkit multiplayer server using Tekkit items to illegally obtain or duplicate items. So my question is how do I prevent my players from exploiting the bugs in tekkit? Of course, the easy way out would be to flat out ban items as you discover the glitches...

 
user15026
@badp YNAB is awesome. It's what I use to budget. :)
 
@AshleyNunn What's your gaming budget this month again? :P
2
 
user15026
@badp negative a lot.
 
@BenBrocka In video games theres only 1 piece
 
user15026
9:35 PM
I never claimed to be good at it!
 
@Brian solid-state guns
 
@AshleyNunn but YNAB claims to change your life!
 
<=- just spent around $300 on board games :D
 
user15026
@badp Yeah, well, I suspect it works better for people who aren't me.
 
user15026
@James Nice!
 
9:37 PM
@AshleyNunn I hope so, I only snagged two games :D
 
@AshleyNunn I use mint. IT has auto-budgets I...completely ignore (and then never set any of my own)
 
@James retro!
 
@Brian Meh to that man.. Board games are introducing more mechanics than video games :D
 
user15026
@BenBrocka XD I set budgets, but I tend to futz with them over the month.
 
user15026
@James I love board games. I need more people to play them with.
 
9:38 PM
OH SHIT, OCTODAD GOT GREENLIT ON STEAM
 
@AshleyNunn does it actually like sync with your bank and download transactions? because I don't see myself using such software for any length of time whatsoever
 
My checking account is basically my budget. It gets $X dollars out of my paycheck a week and if it runs out either I'm paying my car insurance, bought something huge or I'm extremely over budget
 
@AshleyNunn Group of us try and get together once a month. We met this past weekend, played two new games among the other repeats.. Super Dungeon Explore and War Mages.. Both fun games but Super Dungeon Explore needs some poking to make it a bit more fair for the players.
 
user15026
@badp No, You have to enter your stuff manually. It never actually access your account info.
 
9:39 PM
@AshleyNunn aww.
 
user15026
@badp Paranoid me likes it that way.
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah that would make me worried giving any pieces of software like that account access
 
@James but doing data entry is the last thing I want to do!
 
Ability to import say, charge sheets from American Express would be handy..
But on the other hand Amex give me such awesome charting reports and such on my spending already.. who cares? :D
 
user15026
@badp Eh, for me, since i can do it on the go on my phone, I really don't mind it
 
user15026
9:41 PM
For me, because most of my income comes at once every 4 months as my student loan money, I really have to make sure I budget so I have money the whole term. I work while I am in school, but it's not like an OMG job - I work maybe 10 hours a week.
 
user15026
@James Yeah, I am not a fan of stuff like that
 
@AshleyNunn Hehe, I worked out a deal with my rental company that allowed me to pre-pay large blocks of time so I was assured certain things were always covered :)
I miss being in school
 
user15026
@James Nice. If I had stability in my living location and such, I would do that
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah I did go to an odd school... there was no terms/quarters/etc so we were just there until we were done.
 
user15026
@James I currently live with a roommate and I don't know how long I will have that place, and am trying to find a new place, and all of this is all over the place because I have no idea how much longer it will take me to complete my degree, nor how long it will be between my bachelor's and master's
 
user15026
9:45 PM
My life is in a crazy state of flux
 
This looks awesome.
 
@James Psh. Fair for the players! Where's the fun in that?
 
@AshleyNunn Oi, Might I suggest you snag control of living situation? Find a place and snag a roomie :) That would make one thing a bit easier :)
@SaintWacko Its in the fact that they want to play again?! :)
@LessPop_MoreFizz Does anyone know what deal LPMF was talking about for this stared post?
 
Parodies worth spreading. A warm TED welcome to the first Onion Talk! http://is.gd/JwDH27
 
@badp I went to a talk by a couple The Onion editors put on by NPR once. That was pretty awesome
Got a book signed by one of the editors
 
9:52 PM
Ok, who wants to be who in my Aftershock squad?
 
Wow, why the fuck is GTB so hard.
@fbueckert I wanna be Vidur!
 
@GnomeSlice You are now Vidur
 
Woohoo
....Ah shit.
I have an intelligence level of 'poor'.
Can I change my mind?
 
@GnomeSlice Sounds about right. :P
 
9:56 PM
But that's upgradable through level ups
And you have a training class left, too.
Any other takers? There are seven squad members left!
 
user15026
@James It's not that bad. I am working on making it more awesome. The current situation isn't going to change in the next few months, I don't think, so I can manage to make my way.
 
@fbueckert Sure, why not!
 
@SaintWacko Check the imgur link above. Let me know who you want to be.
 
Let's see who I want...
 
user15026
@fbueckert Me! I would like to be Betty please
 
10:03 PM
@AshleyNunn You get to be my sniper!
 
user15026
@fbueckert YES SHOOT THINGS I LIKE TO SHOOT
 
@fbueckert What are you going on about?

Ok, who wants to be who in my Aftershock squad?
 
@fbueckert Yeah i can read but that does not provide any more understanding
 
10:04 PM
@AshleyNunn You also get to choose one more class to train in
 
user15026
@fbueckert What are my options?
 
@fbueckert And if your next response is to give me a LMGTFY link, Just forget I asked :)
 
@James Aftershock is an XCOM-esque game. About eight years old.

@fbueckert And you need a squad why??
 
10:04 PM
And everyone's playing XCOM, so I figured I'd get in on the action.
@AshleyNunn On the same pic as your character. :)
@James To shoot things. Duh.
And they're naming their squad members after Bridge members. Just something fun to do. :P

Q: Is it possible to mind control a soldier that has come under mind control from the enemy?

MaxxIf one of my soldiers gets mind controlled, am I able to use my own mind control on him to turn him back?

Q: Are there any benefits to capturing live zombies?

MaxxIs it possible to capture a zombie live? Is there any benefit to doing so? I was really hoping that I could rescue some of my dead soldiers by capturing them alive as zombies. It's probably not how it works, but I'm curious what the benefits of capturing zombies are.

Q: Does the new Serious Sam 3 DLC include new coop content?

JoeySerious Sam 3: Jewel of the Nile appears to include three new campaign missions. Are those playable in coop too?

 
@AshleyNunn Can you delete my question from @Lazers?
@AshleyNunn Thank you. :)
 
user15026
:6534823 Done!
 
user15026
Sorry, took me a minute to figure out how
 
@SaintWacko Decisions, decisions...
 
FAE
10:11 PM
@fbueckert I don't know what you're playing exactly but I volunteer!
 
@FAE Awesome!
Decide who you'd like to be!
The only females left are my Psionics.
 
FAE
What are my options?

@fbueckert I want to, but I was going to let @SaintWacko pick first.
 
@Ullallulloo He's taking forever. :P
First come, first serve!
 
10:13 PM
@fbueckert eric.adams
 
FAE
@fbueckert I'll be Yri.
 
Sorry, I was leaving work. In the car now
 
@SaintWacko k, I wanted Daruka anyway.
 
Am I the dumbest guy in your squad.
 
@FAE be Betty, the Stalker
 
10:14 PM
@SaintWacko @AshleyNunn already called her
 
@fbueckert I was actually about to suggest that she should have her instead :-P
 
FAE
@fbueckert Is that class offensive at all? I see it's got Medic on it too.
 
@FAE Yri just capped a Wargot with a Desert Eagle from three feet away.
 
FAE
@fbueckert ...Sweet! I'm not much of the support-character type. :P
 
10:17 PM
@FAE Well, you've got one more class you can choose for your lady.
 
FAE
@fbueckert It would probably be better if you chose that rather than me, haha.
 
@FAE I usually use my psionics as support due to to the fact that they wear special psionic armor.
The other classes offer special benefits, though: Gunman can use ultra-heavy weapons and armor, Troopers get to use rocket launchers and such, Rangers get Close Combat bonuses, etc.
 
FAE
@fbueckert Ah, I was hoping I could do fun mental domination hijinks or something.
 
Everyone who's chosen a character, can choose at least one more class for their character; Cyborg and Psionic are limited to those who already have it, though.
Except @SaintWacko. You're the ninja leader.
 
FAE
@fbueckert Ah, was going to ask about Cyborg.
 
10:22 PM
@FAE Probably can; not that far, yet.
 
@fbueckert Hell, yeah!
 
Currently, the only psionic equipment I can give you supports those around you. And you have a psionic Poison Projector, so you can poison people with your MIND.
 
@fbueckert did you make gnomeslice the red shirted ensign character?
 
user15026
@fbueckert Give me whatever works :)
 
@Brian Nope; he chose the single armored Cyborg character. :P
 
FAE
10:23 PM
@fbueckert omg Poison Projector sounds awesome!
 
@AshleyNunn How do you envision your character?
 
user15026
@fbueckert A little bit unhinged, likes shooting things.
 
@FAE "The poison projector stimulates certain chemical processes in a living organism, causing the target's body to produce a deadly neurotoxin. In effect, the victim's body poisons itself."
 
FAE
@fbueckert squees
 
@AshleyNunn Little bit crazy? Doesn't act like a normal sniper and stands out in the open with her giant sniper rifle?
 
user15026
10:26 PM
@fbueckert Yeah. Just crazy enough to worry you, just a touch.
 
@AshleyNunn Hrm. May give her Commando, then. She can use Katanas, then.
 
@AshleyNunn Hmmm... :-P
 
user15026
@fbueckert giddy giggle Stabby and shooty and YAY
 
Usually my shotgun toting dudes are the ones with the blades; they run up, unload, and switch to swords when they get knocked out.
 
user15026
@SaintWacko >.> <.<
 
10:28 PM
Oh dear. @fbueckert you've created a monster
 
@SaintWacko Dude, you ain't seen her with a sniper rifle. She vacates brains from across the map.
 
user15026
@fbueckert YES. Brain vacating is a good skill.
 
user15026
And if it doesn't work, stab em with the pointy end!
 
FAE
@fbueckert Some of my favorite things: poison, DoT, psionic damage/domination, inflicting confusion (enemies hurting themselves/other enemies), sniping, melee, blades/daggers, shotguns, dual-wielding (melee weapons preferably, though guns is also fun).
So if any of that can be worked in, woohoo.
 
user15026
@FAE ....I worry about you :P
 
10:30 PM
Level 99 brain vacator!
 
FAE
Re: Psionics, basically, anything that'll match CoH's Mind Domination set would make me very happy!
@AshleyNunn :D <3
 
@FAE Probably only one extra; you got poison, DoT's, Psionic, already.
I'm working on adding in extra pictures for the available trainings.
 
user15026
@FAE head pat, slow backing away
 
user15026
@SaintWacko Dude, it's important to be good at something. If brain vacating is it, well, then so be it XD
 
FAE
If there's anything equivalent to Mass Confusion, this would please me muchly.
 
user15026
10:32 PM
Okay. heading out to go and being completely nerdy awesome for a few hours. :D :D :D
 
Ooh. Next level of Sniper allows you to target body parts.
 
user15026
@fbueckert YES. Start with their pinkies!
 
FAE
@fbueckert V.A.T.S?

Q: How do I begin playing Captain Scarlett?

Dave McClellandDLC in the first game was handled by having quests automatically added to the quest log. After downloading Captain Scarlett, I continued my existing game and found that I didn't have any new quests in either my first or second playthrough. How do you begin the Captain Scarlett DLC?

Q: In what ways can a game of XCOM:EU end?

DMA57361I've just seen a 'win' ending, which I suspect may be the ending, but thought I'd check what endings the game has just in case. Obviously you can lose by having eight or more countries leave the council, but are there any other ways to lose? And does the game have more than the one 'win' ending...

Q: Are there Rare Drops in Captain Scarlett?

Ben BrockaAfter completing the DLC I've become aware that the new rarity level items can only be purchased (with a special currency). I didn't notice any oranges (period) while playing, particularly new oranges, though I noticed a few unique (probably common) drops from bosses. Are there any rare (legenda...

 
@fbueckert What game is this?
 
@Wipqozn UFO: Aftershock
@AshleyNunn @FAE @Ullallulloo @GnomeSlice
 
@AshleyNunn Have fun!
 
There's still three people up for grabs!
 
FAE
@fbueckert Fluttershy says he'd volunteer!
 
10:42 PM
@FAE Then he'd better decide fast!
 
FAE
@fbueckert What does he have to choose? I'll relay (he's at work so doesn't have time to hop into chat atm)
 
@FAE Which character does he want? There are two males left: David, good with rifles, and Neil, who's an up close and personal kind of guy.
If anyone really wants a complete customized character, I can certainly hire more people. But no guarantees that they'll survive their training period!
 
Are we volunteering to be a character or to play something?
 
FAE
@fbueckert He said he'll take David.
 
@RonanForman @fbueckert is writing a fanfic.
 
10:46 PM
@FAE Okie dokie! He can choose trainings later.
 
A very sexy fanfic. tortoise wink
 
@Wipqozn Did you see my comic?
 
@RonanForman No.
 
@Wipqozn I think you get a level 1 guy for that.
 
10:48 PM
Oh, yes. David's my explosive expert, too. May have to give him a rocket launcher.
 
@fbueckert If it's being a character I'll be one. Don't mind who.
 
@RonanForman You get the last male character, then.
 
As long as @Ashley isn't also playing, she has a habit for team-killing.
 
@RonanForman She's the team sniper. :P
But no worries! You're wearing Light Armor!
 
Uh-oh, can I invest in a helmet?
 
10:51 PM
@RonanForman You've got a Light Helmet, too!
 
I'm brimming with confidence.
 
@RonanForman Honestly, you're in the forefront; you'll be one of the first to get armor upgrades. :P
 
FAE
@fbueckert Fluttershy says he'll go Scout.
 
@FAE Cool! He's got one more training he can choose, then, because all he's got is Trooper.
 
FAE
Oh okay, I thought he could only do 1.
 
10:54 PM
@FAE You can only do one, because you already have Psionic and Medic.
 
Best binders full of women i've seen so far
 
@RonanForman That's pretty awesome.
 
Hmm. I need two more of you for the Wargot murderin' squad.
 
FAE
@fbueckert Going back and forth between Ranger and Leader...
@fbueckert He says Scout and Stalker then.
 
@Ullallulloo's still in Medbay for another day and a half, so @GnomeSlice gets to be my token Cyborg!
@FAE Oh, dear lord. A rocket launching assassin.
 
FAE
10:57 PM
@fbueckert ahahaha
 
@Gnome, you're like average at everything. The only thing you're decent at is rifles.
Makes it hard to kit you out.
Oh, wait, no.
You get the Wargot Plasma Rifle. We'll see how well you do with it.
Damn. That thing's bigger'n you.
 
FAE
I don't know which training to pick, aaaahhh
I love slipping into Analysis Paralysis over a game I'm not even playing. :P
 
@FAE So many choices!
And later, you get to choose equipment, too. :P
@FAE You're pretty decent with rifles, but they're two handed weapons. Do you want a pistol + projector, or a rifle?
 
Wargot Plasma Rifle sounds handydandy
 
Ah, that's why I was confused at the glow. That's as far as the plot's written currently. :P
 
11:04 PM
@GraceNote Oh, it is. Too bad @Gnome doesn't have the requisite training to use it. ><
 
Ouch
 
FAE
@fbueckert What's a projector do?
 
So for now, he's got an AK-47.
@FAE That's the poison projector.
 
FAE
@fbueckert Then I want that!
 
@FAE Okie dokie. Poison projector and Desert Eagle it is.
 
11:06 PM
@fbueckert What happened to me?
 
@Ullallulloo You ran into some Cultists.
 
FAE
@fbueckert I will go Ranger then I think. That will help with the dual-wielding of the pistol+projector, yes?
 
@FAE I'm not sure if the game allows firing different weapons at the same time, but we'll find out!
Man, @Fluttershy's loaded for bear. Rifle with underbarrel grenade launcher, Rocket launcher for backup, and enough ammo for everything to last a bit.
 
FAE
@fbueckert Hahaha nice.
 
Now to see how well the squad does.
 
11:10 PM
@James I was talking about the big Square bundle with Deus Ex + DLC, Hitman, Supreme Commander, Just Cause 1+2 and some other stuff for 10 bucks total.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Missed that.. but I think I own all those on Steam anyways :/
 
And since they were all just Steam Keys, you could easily regift an unwanted title or two.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Niice :)
 
Holy shit sectopads are fucking insane.
 
11:28 PM
Why would you people star a dead deal.
 
@fbueckert Wow, I suck.
 
@FAE You are currently daring an unconcious Wargot to wake up.
 
FAE
@fbueckert This sounds like a bad idea.
 
@FAE He's unconcious because he took a full shotgun clip to the face.
You're on cleanup duty.
 
FAE
ahaha
 
11:33 PM
@Gnome took the brunt of the fire, so you had to patch him back up, too.
 
how much caramel can a canny cannibal cram into a camel, if a canny cannibal can cram caramel into a camel?
 
Heh. @FAE You shot the Wargot to wake him up, and he promptly died instead.
 
FAE
@fbueckert :D
 
@fbueckert You say this like you're just watching.
Aren't you playing?
 
@GnomeSlice What? Not liking the story?
Huh. Not bad, squad. Just murdered an entire Wargot squad, and escorted some civvies out of the area.
@Gnome's gonna be spending some time in sickbay, but everybody else walked out with light injuries.
 
11:39 PM
@fbueckert I'm a hero, aren't I.
 
And @FAE gained a level!
@GnomeSlice If you call spending 15 hours in sickbay, yes.
 
FAE
Yay!
 
> Let me put it this way: I would not let the moderators and fans of the Reddit creeper forums around my daughters; I'd worry they would sexually assault the girls.
 
@fbueckert I took the fire for everyone else.
 
> I don't worry about Gawker writers and editors molesting my girls. However, if my girls were molested, I'd expect Gawker writers and editors to try to find ways to monetize it, use it to drive traffic, come up with banal, weakly ironic hipster-douchebag quips about it, pay witnesses to offer lurid details about it, and try to find clumsy and demi-literate ways to connect it to politicians they don't like.
 
11:39 PM
Damn right.
 
Yup.
That's about right.
 
You got closest to the squad, due to your suckitude at shooting from a distance.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz With a name like 'gawker' I'm not surprised.
 
Heck, even the dude with the shotgun walked away with less injury.
 
@GnomeSlice It started as a celeb gossip site.
Well, really more a New York gossip site.
 
11:41 PM
@FAE One more level before I can start you on Ranger training.
 
user2334
Gawker? I Just met her! Thank you, I'll be here all week
 
FAE
\o/
 
Hah! @Gnome just got a kill!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Those two quotes pretty much sum up my opinion on the whole thing. I don't like either side very much.
 
@Brant Yeah. Really one quote that I had to break up.
That said, I dislike Gawker in this a hell of a lot less than i dislike Reddit.
But that's not news to anyone here.
 
11:53 PM
Whoops. @AshleyNunn just sniped @Gnome.
First friendly fire incident ever.
 
@fbueckert ...Aren't we on the same team?
@fbueckert You're doing it on purpose!
 
@fbueckert @AshleyNunn Good job!
 
@GnomeSlice Actually, no.
She was aiming at a mutant, and it got out of the way when it died. You were just in the path.
 
@fbueckert Man, @AshleyNunn really has it out for @GnomeSlice
 
11:55 PM
@TimStone And @Fluttershy is right beside @Gnome! I'm lucky he didn't get hit!
 
@Brant I don't even know what this is.
 
FAE
@Brant .............
