Oh wait not a video game
a pen and paper rpg
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Good to know he's still a racist fuckwit though.
> When it is all done, if this happens soon enough, I will publish the game. Now, as you might know I am not a Jew, who walks around with my hands in my own pockets only when it is freezing, so I plan to make a complete game and include everything you need (save dice, pencil and scraps of paper) in one single book
 
Oh, I finally see why someone was asking about Populous earlier.
My answer to Molyneux is "no, I won't donate to your project." Especially since you explicitly mention the controls from Black and White being one of the games features.
 
I am better tonight than lastnight
I blame the eating before drinking
At least black and white Beats digging to the core of a cube
Tomorrow is my last night in london
(yay)
 
@pixel Grats on heading home.
Home is good. I am glad to be home.
 
Yep
My own bed
Clean air
My own pc
Wifi that works from the bed
 
So, Portal 2 for Win/Mac now officially supports split screen play
I wonder if they'll bring it to L4D2
 
12:08 AM
@Powerlord Cool. That means local co-op? I should get some friends over to play then. If I have friends.
 
Then again, right now, 2 of Valve's 8 Source multiplayer games aren't actually playable thanks to yesterday's update. (2 of 9 if you count DOTA2)
Weird, apparently I cut CS:GO to past it somewhere else, then forgot to actually paste it.
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and Day of Defeat: Source are currently crashing if you try to launch them.
Right before a long weekend, too!
Oh right, forgot Alien Swarm in there, too... 2 of 9 and 2 of 10 if you count DOTA2.
@YiJiang Just remember that Portal 2 is only 2-player.
Whereas Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, and Alien Swarm are 4-player.
 
Ok sleep time
 
The rest are 16+ player
 
@lesspop is there something wrong with walking with you're hands in your pocketswhile it's freezing? I don't get that one.
 
12:14 AM
@OrigamiRobot He is saying that he is not cheap in a roundabout way.
@OrigamiRobot The implication is that jews keep their hands in their pockets when it isn't freezing because we are trying to protect our money because we are obsessed with it.

Q: Is "make your own video game" on topic?

matt wilkieIs this question on topic? My 11 year old son has been asking me how he can create his own video games. A few relatively short search sessions reveals hundreds sites that dedicate at least some part of their real estate to this aim. I don't know enough to separate the wheat from the ch...

Q: How fast does Pac-Man move?

TimI'm creating a personalized pac-man clone for personal novelty purposes, and I'd like to reproduce the original arcade gameplay as faithfully as possible. I've read The Pac-Man Dossier, but I don't see anywhere on there exactly how fast pac-man or the ghosts can move. In several places it is me...

 
I am not up to date on all the rude phrases
 
@Lazers 1km per minute.
@Lazers game-dev is still around, right?
 
And that is a particularly dumb one
 
@OrigamiRobot It is not so much a 'rude phrase' as it is a roundabout polite phrase for saying something very very rude.
The point is that varg is an unrepentant nazi.
 
12:17 AM
Aww look at @fluttershy deleting things. So adorable.
2
 
Also a murderer and an arsonist.
 
@OrigamiRobot She's trying to use the power of friendship to get people to delete questions! Eeeevil....
 
I think saying rude things in a "polite" way is_more_ rude.
 
@OrigamiRobot Well it is.
 
12:21 AM
Or should I not be asking that for AshleyNunn's sake? :P
nm, I looked it up, and apparently the person in question always chooses the opposite as you.
Which explains why the story in that point has 2 branches rather than 4.
 
Regardless of whether dragon is better now, that edit makes the grammar terrible.
 
Wow, there's a whole dialog about what I was just asking about in the game
 
@MBraedley It fundamentally changes the intent of the answer. I'd reject. The appropriate solution is a comment/new answer.
 
Hmm, even watching through scenes I'd previously seen gives new meaning to them as people comments change.
Zero Escape (and 999 to a lesser extent) are twisty.
 
12:33 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Problem solved. Others have already rejected it.
 
Since I now have a suspicion that I know who one of the other characters really is.

STOP QUEUING FOR SCENARIOS AS HEALERS YOU FAILURES halshdlkjahsdkasljsasa
 
@MarkTrapp You still play WoW?

@MarkTrapp Yeah, Amorfati! Your healing sucks!
 
user2334
12:36 AM
2.5x longer than it should because people can't get it through their heads that scenarios are designed for DPS I DON'T NEED YOU OVERHEALING MY PET
 
@Powerlord I think we need to start starring it every time someone asks @MarkTrapp if he still plays wow.
 
user2334
I play WoW and I hate you all pin please

Q: Anyone have any information how to breed the new Lunar Eclipse Dragon?

Bianca DrumeaI noticed the Lunar Eclipse dragon is in the Dragonvale marketplace, but there is no information on how to breed it, it's also not in the usual places (yet?). Does anyone know how to breed it?

 
12:52 AM
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Image not found
 
I see that.
I'd fix it but mobile chat.
 
I've had it show the image fine for me, but everyone for everyone else it says "Image not found", which is extra annoying.
Did that one work?
 
Interesting, this game appears to have me ended up in a different room than the other team did who went through this door last time.
 
Yes.
Horse_ebooks poetry is pretty cool.
 
12:57 AM
loving my new G35 headset
 
@lesspop I support this starcision
 
@FAE @Fluttershy @Wipqozn Do I have to get to 80 before you guys want to play with me :(
 
@InvaderSkoodge No. I just haven't played in a couple days.
 
@InvaderSkoodge My highest level alt is level 4, and we've been trying to get the monthly fractals finished.
 
I have no clue what fractals are yet.
 
1:11 AM
@InvaderSkoodge They're the new randomized dungeons added during the Lost Shores stuff.
 
And you have to play them all every month?
 
@InvaderSkoodge No. The monthly achievements vary by month. Since the fractals are a new thing, part of the monthly achievement was to complete 7 of them.
 
What are you guys playing?
 
@MBraedley Guild Wars 2.
 
ahh. Should I buy it? (not that I have time to play it)
 
1:14 AM
@MBraedley There are a lot of us here who play it! =P
 
Wow, in one room, the secret file was ludicrously easy to get while to get the key requires solving like 8 puzzles in a row
 
FAE
@InvaderSkoodge Sorry, my only other alt is level 2 and I've been busy trying to get my monthly done before flying out of the country on Monday!

Q: What does Rewind Story actually do?

BrandonI went through the campaign on Veteran and finished everything except the Strike Force missions. I want to go back to the beginning and finish up the challenges I missed and do the Strike Force missions on a lower difficulty. Does rewinding the story back to the first mission reset challenges/i...

 
FAE
And now I sleep.
 
1:25 AM
Ahahaha
> Plus, its Bed Shaker feature vibrates a bed or a pillow that even the heaviest sleepers will wake up.
The iLuv Vibro Pro, with patented Bed Shaker technology.
shakes head
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Just like Pen Island was a terrible name for a Website?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz TigerDirect hides the product if you don't have JS enabled.
No thank you, store, I'll keep my personal info.
 
Breaking news! You can now gift premium accounts to other people in TF2.
 
What is a "premium account"?
 
Also, they doubled the max backpack size to 2000.
@InvaderSkoodge Free 2 Play accounts can only have 50 items and don't get cosmetic drops.
Premium accounts can have 300 items (by default) and get cosmetic drops rarely.
Of course, Valve sells backpack expanders that increase the size of a backpack by 100 items for each one used.
I forget if there are other restrictions for f2p accounts or not...
 
1:34 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz How is that not an adult... accessory?
 
@MBraedley That is the unfortunate part.
 
Oh right, F2P players can't trade items to others.
 
@Powerlord What, really? What about those of us who paid?
Wait, nevermind, apparently I have a premium account without knowing it
 
@MBraedley If you've ever paid for the game (or bought the Orange Box) you already have a premium account.
 
F2P is actually pretty restrictive. I didn't know that.
 
1:37 AM
FUCK YEAH
 
Apparently the upgrade gift thing is $5... which is kinda stupid since an F2P player can put $5 on their Steam account using Paypal, then buy a $0.49 Dead Ringer or something to upgrade it.
(and spend the rest on games)
 
@Powerlord That's what I did.
Same item, in fact.
@Powerlord But you still have to give $5 to Steam...
 
@GnomeSlice I know, otherwise I'd have said Kritzkrieg, which is badp's phrasing from an old answer.
 
I can't use the dead ringer. Mind you I can't play spy worth a damn to begin with...
 
Spy requires both practice and knowing maps really well.
It also helps if you know the players you're playing against.
 
1:39 AM
Spy was my least used class.
By a very significant margin.
 
I play Spy a lot. As in, 900+ hours in the last 5 years.
That isn't to say I don't fail hard as Spy sometimes.
Seriously, as Spy, your biggest advantage comes when the other team messes up.
My highest scoring Spy games have been the games where the rest of my team is doing terribly. Mind you, my team still LOST, but I had by far the highest score across both teams.
 
I noticed a lot of times on the scoreboard you'll see 2 players from the winning team in 2nd and 3rd, and a spy on the losing team on top.
 
@InvaderSkoodge Because the other team gets overconfident.
Spy is also overpowered in Medieval mode.
(along with Sniper and Demoman)
I wonder if the Dead Ringer + ally disguise bit has been fixed yet.
 
Sniper can use the bow in Medieval, right?
 
@InvaderSkoodge Yup, and Medieval maps have torches around to light your arrows on fire.
 
1:45 AM
I only use the bow on the sniper.
If the bow isn't appropriate due to map or situation, then I play a different class altogether.
 
Granted, the Medic's bow ALSO works on Medieval mode. Medic is probably the fourth most powerful Medieval class.
 
Medic has a bow now?
 
@InvaderSkoodge Crossbow, and Medic's had it for years.
But it can't headshot.
 
The most recent patch I played was the Spy vs. Sniper.
 
However, it heals allies and does more healing/hurting the farther it travels.
@InvaderSkoodge That explains it. It was added in the Polycount update in 2010ish.
 
1:47 AM
Well, technically I guess I've played more recently than that, but never more than a few minutes as a diversion.
I never saw a medic with a crossbow.
 
Medics in Medieval can use Crusader's Crossbow + Amputator as a set in Medieval, too... the only item set in the game that can be used in Medieval mode... ups the Medic's natural healing rate by 1HP per sec.
Valve recently buffed the Crossbow, too. Well, recently as in "less than a year ago"
 
Well then.
 
It used to reload horribly slowly. Now, it reloads fairly quickly.
 
That's even more unfortunate.

Q: How do you dance the pirate polka?

Invader SkoodgeIn Gendarran Fields, there is a skill challenge issued by Klakka the Brain where you can either fight her or dance the "pirate polka" in order to get the skill point. How do you do the dance?

 
1:49 AM
@Lazers Pirate Polka had better not be a euphemism there.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz What is this?
 
smacks Sigma
You've been through this part before, you know exactly where to go... so GO THERE.
"Lets go everywhere except where I know I need to go. Derp."
Apparently Sigma's having convenient amnesia
 
@GnomeSlice A product that was clearly named by a company whose marketing department is staffed by non-native english speakers.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, now I get it.
:/
 
I really wish that Sigma was voiced in this game so I could just listen to this part of the game with "auto" turned on
 
Hmm, I think I'm about to get a bad end, and someone just referenced events that haven't actually happened (as if I'd chosen something different a previous time through the game... which will actually happen next time I play. :P)
Another "To Be Continued" end.

Q: What is this object in the water?

Sadly NotWhat is this object in Make No Wonder? I have built a bridge to one but I can't seem to collect anything from it.

 
crashes through my wallet. OH GOD, IT'S EMPTY. DAMN YOU STEAM SALES
 
Woohoo! An actual game over screen instead of a To Be Continued!
and now that character has a reason for their previous action.
The Game Over didn't fill in one of my ? end things
And now Sigma is making sex references
 
2:35 AM
@Powerlord like a perverted old man
 
How's everyone doing tonight?
 
@Fluttershy Getting tired. Think I'll turn in a little early tonight. And my early, I mean 20 minutes.
 
@MBraedley Was debating on calling it a night early myself... Utterly bored and no idea what to do.
 
@Fluttershy But you're at least 1 time zone west of me, maybe 2. Well, according to the meetup map at least.
 
@MBraedley I'm CST.
 
2:43 AM
Yeah, it's not even 9:00 there
 
Nope!
 
Anyways, I'm out. Later all.

Q: My Xbox headset just died. What are my options?

Fredy31After 2 and a half years, the headset that came with my Xbox finally died. So what are my options to replace it? Can I plug in any USB Headset in the USB ports? Could I use the kinect microphone for chat? How can I get another headset?

Q: What happens to units and buildings if they get "buried" under destructible rocks?

ayckosterHOTS introduces the new "destructible rocks" that can actually be destroyed, as the name suggests. One part of rocks crushes down and blocks a predefined area. What happens to units and buildings standing on that spot while the rocks get destroyed?

 
@YiJiang such a cool movie
 
2:56 AM
I'm not entirely sure how it works on Steam though
Can I move it to, say, my tablet to watch, or is it tied to Steam?
Oh hey, you can get it directly from the movie's site for $5 now too buy.indiegamethemovie.com
 
@YiJiang Tied to Steam
 
Ah, crap
 
@YiJiang I'd say get it from the official site if you can. Maybe it's not tied to Steam from there?
 
@Fluttershy Yeah, it says it's DRM free there
 
@YiJiang I found that you can play the mp4 directly from /Users/*YOUR USERNAME*/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Indie Game The Movie/IGTM.app/Contents/Resources/data/movies on a Mac
 
3:02 AM
Hey, could I get someone to make a scribblenauts unlimited tag, for this question: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/93708/…
 
@Luck Done
 
Thank you
 
doh! @Wipqozn beat me to it
 
@akraut That's jut how I roll.
 
rolls eyes
I just got a file password without realizing that it's possible to solve the same puzzle only halfway to get the key password
And I had to look it up because I couldn't figure out what I'd missed.
No wait, I have that backwards
Halfway is the file one, all the way is the other thing... but it doesn't warn you that putting the last piece into place incorrectly finishes it.
 
3:06 AM
Okay, I think this looks disgusting, but I think @Powerlord will enjoy it:
 
@Krazer I'm too sexy for my shell.
 
@Powerlord this game is about making mistakes and learning from them. The character endings are pretty good, especially Luna's.
 
@Krazer Are you talking about Yesterday by any chance? <_<
 
@Krazer Yes, but I thought I had that piece in with the right number showing... and it's not clear that you get different results if you make a mistake in this case.
Had me going around the room looking for things I'd missed.
Even if I had gotten it right, I'd have no indication that getting it WRONG would give me the file combination
It doesn't help that I'd already done just the numbers part (before I found the other clue) and that does nothing.
 
3:18 AM
@Fluttershy For the PC? No.
 
Ah. Okay.
 
@GnomeSlice do you know how the cloud saveyness works on Arel Wars 2? Is it automatic or do I have to export? If possible I'd like to be able to play the same file on my android phone + ipad
 
@BenBrocka Try 'data management' in the options window, possibly.
It's really hard to tell, the English is pretty bad.
I think it does cloud saves...
There's a 'data export' and a 'data import' under 'data management', but it says it deletes the device data when you upload it to the server.
Oh, it deletes the data on the device when you do that.
Not sure what the 'register play info' button does...
 
Yeah. I'd only be able to play on one device at a time which is a weird feature. Hopefully it doesn't prevent me from playing my old file after my device updates. That was even worse
 
@BenBrocka Yeah, I lost my game a few times.
Then, randomly, the last time I restored it, it kept my data.
 
3:25 AM
I don't know what that button does either. It activated without logging in on my android and it's disabled now and I don't know what it did
It kept my data the first time (after some struggling with export import) but now it won't at all, so I'm off to AW2

Q: What are all the 'holdable items' that I can have?

Jeffrey LinI am currently playing Zork, and would like to know where I can find 'shinies' or loot, and what I can do with it or what I can use them for. It would also be nice to know where I can get each item. Additionally, I would like to know if there are any secret rooms and how I can get to them.

Q: Where is the "Sleeping in the Elements!" shard?

LuckIn Scribblenauts Unlimited, in the Metaforest stage, there is a shard goal called "Sleeping in the Elements!". The description is: This isn't a comfortable place to sleep! Create something better for the backpacker! I've looked everywhere on this stage, with and without the special vision...

 
And yeah iOS translation in korean/etc games remind me of bad NES games
 
Awwwwwwww yeeeeag. Silver badge get.
 
user2334
WoW man, specifically heroics man
 
user2334
tanks so bad my pet pulls off of them
 
3:37 AM
@MarkTrapp is taunt disabled on your pet?
 
user2334
had to do that and even then it still pulled off of the tank. Never had to turn off taunt before
 
for the longest time I didn't realize taunt was hidden in the pet spell book and not on the pet bar
 
user2334
if a pet can hold threat better than a tank, who needs a tank? just get another dps
 
user2334
NO WELFARE FOR TANKS AMIRITE WE ARE THE 53%
 
user2334
I don't even know why I bother with heroics: easily hit valor cap every week and LFR has better gear for time ratio
 
3:41 AM
Me: *Verbal abuse*
Siri: "I don't understand *verbal abuse*. How about a web search for it?"
Me: "How about a web search for your face?"
Siri: "Searching the web for 'Your face'"
 
user2334
NO RESULTS FOUND OH BURN
 
Damnit, I'm remembering why Diablo 3 pisses me off so much
I'm playing a fucking single player game, and I have to deal with latency
 
@BenBrocka speaking of which... did you know you could make Google search for faces only, by adding '&imgtype=face' to the end of the URL
@SaintWacko come play Torchlight 2
 
user2334
@SaintWacko rubber banding is an essential feature that players were asking for: you can't get that quality in Torchlight II or Diablo II
 
@Krazer neat
 
3:46 AM
@MarkTrapp If you don't turn off taunt, you have no right to complain about pet aggro.
Alicia Keyes has good taste in covers:
 
@Krazer I'm tempted
Yeah, to hell with this, I'm going back to Torchlight 2
 
@SaintWacko yay
 
Diablo 3 is laggy, and my computer somehow has trouble running it
Blizzard needs to talk to Gearbox
Borderlands 2 looks better, and it runs way better
 
SOLUTION: SEND MR TOURGE AS A PR REP

Q: How do I start the Torgue DLC quests

HaphazardI have loaded up my Level 50 character who has completed the main campaign on both difficulties and beat the first DLC on the harder mode. I do not see any new quest markers to start the Torgue quests. Steam says I have the DLC and I see it in the DLC option of the game itself. Am I missing a s...

 
3:56 AM
@SaintWacko Blizz needs to actually finish this game~
 
GODDAM DOES NO ONE CHECK THE FAST TRAVEL STATIONS ANYMORE
 
@BenBrocka Seriously
Did they forget how DLC showed up in BL1?
@Krazer Yeah, I was convinced by the description of some of the patches that it was better now, but nope
 
That and the last DLC
 
There are so many good games out there, I'm not going to waste my time playing one that's so frustrating
