He wants to make his cars super awesome then race against really crappy low class stuff to mess with them.
<_< Too early for thinking?
@AshleyNunn Ooooh... Gotcha.

Q: How much defense do I need to prevent the enemy carrier from taking my islands?

user28015In my current game most of my islands have either strong or deadly as defense. But the enemy carrier can still take them, leaving me to hop a lot among islands to retake them and stopping my advance towards his islands. How can I activly prevent or delaying him from taking my islands so my assa...

@BenBrocka And it got noun'd again.
14:34
I expect this would be more awesome if I knew who everyone was.
I think the guys in the back on the right are from... Mass Effect and Dead Space. Dunno who the big guy in the back or the redhead are.
@GnomeSlice The girl in the front middle is Lightning from FFXIII
I don't know who the guy in the white armor is.
The big guy in the back is a marine from StarCraft, I think.
@GnomeSlice Master Chief, Jim Raynor, Lightning (FF13), ... Guy from Vanquish?, Shepard from Mass effect, Samus Aran, and Isaac from Dead Space.
How did I end up with that open in 4 tabs...?
@Fluttershy Dunno who Jim Raynor or Lighting are, I guess. And the guy from Vanquish is named 'Sam Gideon'.
All they're missing is a Space Marine
@GnomeSlice Jim Raynor is a marine from StarCraft :P
14:38
@GnomeSlice Lightning was the main protagonist in Final Fantasy 13, and Jim Raynor is from StarCraft.
Also, -1 for using zero suit Samus, instead of full-armor.
@GnomeSlice Yeah
Although, for some reason, she still has the arm-cannon...
I was just about to point that out :P
I didn't notice that at first. ...Strange.
14:39
@GnomeSlice Yay, fireworks!
I wouldn't think she'd be able to lift it without the rest of the suit...
Why does she have a pistol holstered on the right leg if her arm is jammed in the gigantic arm-cannon?
Incongruities!
I HATE IT
Everybody knows she can summon the suit at will; presumably summoning bits is possible, too. scoff
14:41
@fbueckert No she can't...
What this picture is missing is a "one second later" one with an AS7 Atlas casually stomping on them all like they weren't even there ... :)
@MartinSojka I was going to say the same thing, but with a KNRB-0.
@GnomeSlice I'm done with my SciFi kick.
@fbueckert Okay.
Anyway, wallpaper of the day ^
@GnomeSlice Metroid is such a cool character.
14:49
Plus, a giant robot from Vanquish.
@Wipqozn Halo is such a cool guy
@murgatroid99 He is a pretty cool guy.
@murgatroid99 I know! I prefer Zelda though. He's such a bad ass, strolling around with that sword.
SHUT UP
STOP IT.
STOPPIT.
@GnomeSlice flags
14:51
@Wipqozn I KNOW MAN RIGHT MARIO IS TOTALLY A BADASS PLUMBER
Am I doing this right?
@StrixVaria Uh, sure.
I now require more Metroid themed wallpapers.
@fbueckert Surely @Gnome will deliver.
@fbueckert sfw, presumably?
x_x
I can't believe what I'm seeing...
@GnomeSlice The fact that you had to ask that scares me.
14:54
@fbueckert You know, I wouldn't have thought I had to...
@fbueckert I think Gnome wants to break out his porn folder.
@fbueckert What resolution?
@GnomeSlice 1920x1080
Or aspect, at least.
@GnomeSlice He wants wallpapers with actual Metroids on them. The giant jellyfish thingies.
14:55
@StrixVaria You've got it backwards. Jellyfish are those small metroid thingies.
I'm pretty sure Metroid came first.
"metroid mpixels:3M.." on Danbooru gives surprisingly few results (and most of them very much NSFW and in the wrong format).
I should clarify: I meant Metroid as in Samus Aran in full armor, not actually metroids.
user2334
@Wipqozn @murgatroid99 But what about Castlevania? He's the best
@fbueckert Right, okay, just a sec.
Goddam slow internet.
14:59
They should one-box countdown timers.
@MarkTrapp He's a pretty cool guy too, but Halo kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything

Q: How can I pause the game?

musefanI have just started playing the game (about an hour in) and I don't seem to be able to pause it. The start button is usually pause but it does nothing. I can press select to bring up the phone menu but the game appears to carry on (I haven't actually tested this is a battle scenario yet though) ...

0
Q: How can I check my partners health?

musefanIs there anyway to see how much health my partner has? Does their health automatically recover? So I basically want to know if I should worry about healing them and if so, then how do I know when to heal them?

0
Q: How or when do I get to use my skill points?

musefanI have recently starting playing Resident Evil 6 and I have so far collected a few hundred skill points - although this is best guess as I can't work out how to see my total. But how or when do I get to use these skill points? Based on game play so far and what I have seen, my best assumption wo...

@murgatroid99 Yeah well Kirby sucks guys and swallows.
2
Uh...
@MartinSojka Ooh, I like the design on that.
15:00
@StrixVaria I'll stick with Halo
@fbueckert I've got one using the same design, but much less boring in the background.
@GnomeSlice I'm a big fan of clean, strong mecha-ish designs.
15:02
@murgatroid99 I love image not found.
I think they have a referer check.
@Wipqozn funny, I see it
@murgatroid99 Download it and upload it.
wallbase hotlinking doesn't work.
@murgatroid99 Yeah, that's it.
All of mine are 1366x768 so I have to re-find them in 1920x1080
15:06
I never actually see my wallpaper so I don't spend too much time trying to find a good one.
My current desktop is her ship from Prime 3, thrown on top of a spacescape. It's pretty.
@StrixVaria Even with two monitors, looking at my wallpaper feels wrong.
I'm not exactly sure why I'm looking for another Metroid wallpaper; I just like the suit design.
Oh man, the robot is standing up.
@fbueckert I have 3 monitors at home and never see a square inch of desktop on any of them.
15:11
thisgameisamazingthisgameisamazing
@GnomeSlice What are you playing now?
@fbueckert Not playing right now, just watching a boss fight from one of my favourite games.
@GnomeSlice Vanquish? I've heard mixed things about that game.
@fbueckert Oh man, it's so much fun. Also, really? I've only heard good about it.
You should watch that when you get a chance.
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I heard the hype leading up to it's release, and it sounded like all sorts of fun. And then it released and....nothing. No raving, no raging, nada.
15:17
@fbueckert It won gamespot's 'Best Game Nobody Played' award of 2010.
@fbueckert ...raging?
@GnomeSlice Which means I should probably take a look at it.
@GnomeSlice If the game is really bad in one way or another
The situation reminds me a bit of Valkyria Chronicles.
Anyone who has a PS3 should PLAY that game.
Well, the dialogue and voice acting are pretty bad, but the game is a half-parody of gears of war.
It's a single-player console TPS. What do you expect?
15:19
@MartinSojka TPS?
Third-person shooter.
Everything about the game is just ridiculous, the main character smokes in like every cutscene.
You can even use cigarettes in-game to distract your enemies, which is pretty dumb considering the amount of shit flying everywhere, all the time.
I love how you crouch to go faster
also you know it sucks because your health only has two states, "full health" and "BLOODY SCREEN (so real!)"
@badp I hate it when games do that. Just give me a damn health bar already.
Why would I want a health bar ...? I get hit, I die. Simple enough for me.
15:22
It's also awesome when the game teleports you around in order to play the quick-play event cutscene from the precalculated path
@MartinSojka because that's too EASY. We need something more COMPLICATED.
@MartinSojka I have enough of real life, thank you.
I play games to ESCAPE reality.
@badp You can't crouch.
Oooh, I love this picture:
@GnomeSlice Slide from a prone position. Whatever.
@badp You mean the rocket pants?
FAE
FAE
15:25
@MartinSojka Did you see the whole imgur gallery for those images?
@FAE Yes, but this one is my favourite. :)
FAE
FAE
@MartinSojka I think the bookshelf was actually pretty cool. Impractical, but cool.
@MartinSojka Oh, that hits the OCD mark.
FAE
FAE
@fbueckert Here, enjoy.
@FAE Ahhh! What did you do!? Now I want to kill things!
Also, welcome back, @FAE!
FAE
FAE
15:28
@fbueckert It just pulls at your neurons, doesn't it?
@FAE I don't get the CapriSun thing. Also WB
FAE
FAE
@fbueckert Thanks.
@badp It's one of those instant drink packages.
FAE
FAE
@badp Also thanks. And it's because it's not the proper way to open it.
And he's pouring it into a cup.
15:28
so
user15026
@FAE those images keep making the rounds and my brain hurts every time. I just want to fix them all.
it's his drinking cup. Why wouldn't he drink from his drinking cup.
FAE
FAE
I'll still be a little off and on here. Friend of mine passed away last month, so I haven't felt much up to site things.
@badp Why wouldn't he drink it out of the existing drinking package?
@fbueckert because it's not his drinking cup.
15:29
He's dirtying a cup for no reason!
@FAE Oh dear. And I who thought you were happily immersed in your Guild Wars 2-themed love escapades with Raven. :(
(I might be extrapolating here a little bit.)
@fbueckert Why would he use a filthy sttraw that maybe has been packaged upside down?
also, this library is really cool. I could see myself getting one
FAE
FAE
@badp Haha, no, though I've been using the escapism decently much the past few weeks.
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn They tug at my brain terribly.
@badp I do like the idea of that, it's just very inefficient for book storage.
@FAE Guild Wars 2 escapism is best escapism.

Q: How many characters can I create in Torchlight 2?

MikeDiablo III has a limit of ten characters, is there a limit to how many characters I can create in Torchlight 2? Right now I have one of every class. I am using there local chest to store class specific gear.

Q: Hosting Call of Duty Modern Warfare Server

SearockI'm trying host Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare on the internet but failed miserably even after troubleshooting. I'm not sure if I've setup the process correctly. Here it goes. I've a Netgear N150 WGR614v10 router and Windows 7 operating system. I've set up port forwarding in my router with TCP...

We have ourselves what I just learned you might call a book worm
user15026
@FAE I had to stop looking at them because I got so frustrated that I couldn't do anything about it.
except not
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn Photoshop them!
basically like this but without the light effects
FAE
FAE
15:34
@Fluttershy 'tis indeed.
Also Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
NEW GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR ALBUM
wat
@Mana Oh, right. I was going to check out more of their music.
FAE
FAE
@badp music that Mana and LessPop listen to
@FAE I still need to watch this.
15:36
@Mana Listened to that last night. Fairly good.
FAE
FAE
@Fluttershy Yes, yes you do.
Listening to that one now.
user15026
@FAE I lack any kind of photo shop skills. I would likely just make it worse.
@Wipqozn god no that's a shortened version what are you doing
FAE
FAE
15:37
@AshleyNunn Or... better! And then you should share it.
twenty three minutes
@Mana I don't know.
SKEEEEEEEP
to 8 minutes
wait, what. 23 minutes?
Okay, I guess I need to listent o sleep again.
I only listened to an 8 minute version.
SKEEEEEEEEEP. to 15 minutes
15:38
@badp skip to 16 minutes
best section of the song IMO
user15026
@FAE I also lack access to Photoshop so it would be in Paint and it would be so bad. So bad. Although moderately entertaining on a day where I have a migraine that doesn't allow me to stand up without suffering.
but you kinda need the build-up maaaan.
@AshleyNunn Paint. You know you must do it.
@Mana I could only listen to the entirety of this if you built a videogame around it. GET TO IT MANA
I made the mistake of looking at that imgur link. Now my head hurts
BIT.TRAPP IT
15:40
She's a biiiit.tripper
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn So bad it's good again!
I must say, I'm quite quickly growing fond of this band.
oh wait. This is the HTML 5 player. I CAN LISTEN AT 2× SPEED.
Much better.
user15026
@FAE @badp you will regret this.
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn Lies I say.
user15026
@badp what the crap is that.
@badp I would HATE that bookshelf.
user15026
Besides eyesearing.
The origin of the "I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE STAIRS BRO"/"IT KEEPS HAPPENING" meme.
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn Homestuck.
15:45
@AshleyNunn greatest thing ever made
Also, the showcase of the amazing powers of Paint (not really it's done in Photoshop)
user15026
It confuses me.
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn Also the origin of @Mana's avatar.
user15026
I suspect I am missing a lot of context.
@FAE This isn't actually part of Homestuck I think
15:46
@AshleyNunn kinda? But not really. Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff was made before Homestuck.
What is Homestuck anyways? I keep hearing it mentioned
FAE
FAE
@badp Ah, I didn't hover over the full link.
The context was that this one dude in the Penny Arcade forums was posting some crappy comics he made of these two dudes playing video games and making bad jokes with really mediocre art
@SaintWacko Something that murders your braincells. So I'm staying WELL away.
so the author took it to the extreme.
15:47
@SaintWacko It's a webcomic of sorts that either isn't for you or is for you, in which case you don't want to read it anyway because I did and look at me.
@fbueckert Alright, I'll take your word for it
@badp Good point. Staying far away from that :D
@Mana Today I learned.
Mar 14 at 3:02, by Wipqozn
It's this poorly written comic that @Mana and @RavenDreamer read.
Took me awhile to find that.
@Wipqozn The guy who makes fun of people for saying "alot" misuses "awhile"? That's depressing.
also, this comic has the best character development
@Mana That was a typo, but nice catch.
15:53
@Mana I keep bashing him about stuff like that all the time. :P
FAE
FAE
@fbueckert Wipqozn types terribly. It's very handy because you can use it to make fun of him when he's trying to make a point.
@Mana Why are you mocking him? He had to give up his sweet furry awhile pet to find that quote. It's not like awhiles grow on trees or something.
@badp FYI awhile is a word.
@FAE Or poke fun at him for whining about proper usage of a SINGLE word.
Ad hominem much?
OH FFS
FAE
FAE
15:55
@fbueckert Hehe, indeed.
Chrome said "hominem" was wrong and wanted me to correct it to "Eminem"
That's just sad
FAE
FAE
@SaintWacko ...ahaha.
@Wipqozn Whatever. I drew this and I'm going to use it anyway
@badp So be it.
@FAE And just when I was regaining faith in society...
15:57
@badp That's so bad.
@SaintWacko Silly you.
@badp Keep that up and you could replace @RonanForman as Arqade's artist.
@fbueckert I need to give @AshleyNunn a bar to aspire to
@badp That's not a bar so much as it is a step. A tiny one.
With enough dedication maybe one day she'll be able to be as much of a mspaint artist.
@fbueckert You just need to take things one over
@Wipqozn I swear Jin is the official artist.
16:01
@RonanForman Community artist.
@Mana: Just finished listening to Sleep. That was fantastic.
@Wipqozn you should find yourself a good block of time to listen to the full album.
@Mana I'm going to be spending most of today doing homework, so today may be that die.
user15026
@badp now anything I create will be amazing in comparison.
@AshleyNunn Just give me a second.
@AshleyNunn or insufficiently awful. Depending on how you look at it.
@fbueckert It's a very nice filler for an empty wall. It also stores books.
16:04
@badp Wall scrolls
Giant embedded TV.
SOMETHING.
user15026
@badp yeah I suppose it would depend on my intention.
@fbueckert Different wall.
user15026
@fbueckert not a fan of non standard booknook shelving options?
@AshleyNunn I likes me my straight lines and clean corners.

musefanWhen you select a campaign, you also get to select some game mode settings (the bit with network play options).

@AshleyNunn Hit your keyboard
user15026
Ah, there we go. Apparently trying to type while it is secretly upgrading is a no no.
@AshleyNunn I'm sure that's because you're not a SwiftKey pro user and a SwiftKey pro user decided to mess with your keyboard for 20 seconds spending 20 SwiftPoints in the process.
@AshleyNunn hholy shwshit
user15026
16:15
@Mana yeah..
user15026
@badp That's probably it.
user15026
Now that I am on my laptop, all is well.
HI @MANA
@OrigamiRobot Yoooo
I was just about to head out to do work though, so uh...
oooooy
I am on lunch break
@badp sigh Mixing politics and gaming. This is SURE to turn out well.
Hey @Wipqozn!
16:35
@OrigamiRobot Hello kind Robot.
@OrigamiRobot I'm so clumsy.
user15026
@Fluttershy That kind of scare me, like it is up to something.
user15026
16:44
@OrigamiRobot Annnnd faceplant.
@Fluttershy I hope you die in 37 separate fires.
2
@OrigamiRobot Only 37?
Also, I know some people who would be a bit upset if that happened. O_o
@Fluttershy 3 + 7 = 10; 1 + 0 = 1;
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot That is oddly specific.
user15026
@OrigamiRobot No. No dying in fires. That is not a good plan.
16:48
You will all rue the day!
@Wipqozn I'm not sure I follow you.
user15026
@Fluttershy Adding the digits together means you apparently only die in one fire, which is one fire too many.
The digital root (also repeated digital sum) of a number is the (single digit) value obtained by an iterative process of summing digits, on each iteration using the result from the previous iteration to compute a digit sum. The process continues until a single-digit number is reached. For example, the digital root of 65,536 is 7, because 6+5+5+3+6 = 25 and 2+5 = 7. Digital roots can be calculated with congruences rather than by adding up all the digits, a procedure that can save time in the case of very large numbers. Digital roots can be used as a sort of checksum. For example, since th...
@Wipqozn Should've just said 42 and been done with it.
No. 37.
16:50
There are 10 types of people who understand binary: Those that do, and those that don't.
user15026
@fbueckert I remember when I first encountered that, and I was confused for days until I demanded my roommate make it all make sense
huh, neat:
> 6% of the numbers below 100000 have a digit sum of 23, which is along with 22 the most common digit sum within this limit
@AshleyNunn I thought it was pretty clever, actually.
I taught myself binary in grade 6, I think.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18
user15026
@fbueckert I like it, now that I know what it means
FAE
FAE
16:52
@fbueckert They made us learn binary in grade 6.
@FAE Huh. Wish I would've been in your school. Learning something I'm already teaching myself? Sure!
user15026
I never learned it.
FAE
FAE
@fbueckert No, no you do not. It was just a brief thing through a little random week they had. My school was pretty terrible.
@FAE Lucky. I learned binary in the Army... And then discovered that it was taught incorrectly.
@FAE You grew up in the US of A, right?
16:54
@FAE Then again, I read code from magazines during recess; I found it fun.
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn I did indeed.
Born in South Korea, grew up in upstate NY, now I live in the Netherlands.
@FAE Man... You really get around.
@Fluttershy What does Army need binary for?
@FAE I was unaware you were born in South Korea.
user15026
I suspect that growing up where I did, I know a lot of useless things about cows and other farm animals and their needs than I know useful things.
16:55
@OrigamiRobot For my job. O_o
33 secs ago, by OrigamiRobot
@Fluttershy What does Army need binary for?
@AshleyNunn After the Zombie Apocalypse, those skills will be in dire need.
31 secs ago, by OrigamiRobot
33 secs ago, by OrigamiRobot
@Fluttershy What does Army need binary for?
@OrigamiRobot Setting up cisco routers and switches. Assigning IP addresses to our various systems.
FAE
FAE
16:56
@Fluttershy Not all by choice!
Besides, who DOESN'T want to know the optimal cow tipping point?
FAE
FAE
Wait, I don't think that makes that statement better.
user15026
@fbueckert I suppose, but until then, I know a bunch of useless things.
@FAE Woo! Out of context!
@FAE It makes you a more sympathetic character.
FAE
FAE
16:57
@fbueckert The best part about the Bridge.
@Fluttershy Don't need to know binary for that.
@OrigamiRobot Actually, binary is the very basis of computers; it underpins the vast majority of what a computer does.
@Fluttershy Yeah, turns out one means TRUE. I had it wrong all these years
@OrigamiRobot Then I suggest you take that up with the military instructors.
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn I'm adopted.
16:58
So knowing binary for just about any technical job won't steer you wrong.
@fbueckert You don't need to know binary to set up a router.
I wanted to teach my kids to count in binary, but my wife vetoed that.
@OrigamiRobot You do if you're setting up even a slightly complicated network.
A straight up home network, no.
@JasonBerkan Yeah man no one uses binary any more since we evolved to have more than 2 fingers.
But anything involving corporate firewalls, quality of service and the like will benefit from the knowledge.
16:59
@FAE I know.
