whoa, what? MarkTrapp left? Well, fuck. That sucks. I like Mark.

I can't believe I didn't notice that star that's been there for 2 days
Nothing like punching those annoying repair surveyors in the face
I'm telling you
dammit.
Well, with Mark gone I'll make sure to use "Literally Hitler" more often to fill the void in my heart.
I knew he had quite a few problems with the network, but I was hoping he would still stick around Arqade.
@pixel Yeah, I read through all the stuff.
He had a lot of problems with the network, quite a few of which he never disclosed.
oh snap, this was closed:

Q: Is Santa Claus a Time Lord?

TangoOverswayConsider the following about Santa Claus: He can carry presents for every little boy and girl around the world in one bag that sits on a sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer, so his bag has to be bigger on the inside. He's able to make it around the entire world, including time to go down every...

That makes me happy. SciFi is slowly becoming a better place.

got playthrough 2 wilhelm in two deaths. Not nearly as bad as other fights
@Wipqozn I... I can't believe it...
@OrigamiRobot They're starting to understand reason, and logic. It's crazy.

Q: Could the Enterprise beam a vampire into a house she didn’t have permission to enter?

Torben Gundtofte-BruunThere's this article on io9.com asking this exact question, and I thought that scifi.SE would be the ultimate place to have the matter settled. I present to you: This is a serious question that has been bothering me. We all know that in most vampire lore, a vampire cannot enter a house withou...

This is still open though

Why do MMOs make towns so oversized?
Immersiveness.
More like inconvenient.

Q: What is the best strategy when using the Ghost Armor?

G_GlockWhat is the best strategy when using the Ghost Armor? It is expensive, but is it best to create a "Predator-like" squad that can possibly dominate the game. Due to the fact that the stealth ability shuts down at the end of the turn, I was not sure how effective this armor can be other than spyi...

I wanna go from the crafting place to the bank. Time to walk for five minutes.
@AshleyNunn grats on starting an amazing game.
22:47
which one?
@badp Earthbound, judging by recent questions.
I ought to try it someday
@badp It's a classic for a reason, but I suspect you will get much less out of it if you don't fully grok the 80's/90's pop culture references.
Earthbound was too all over the place for my tastes.
22:52
Is this the one the starts with the group of kids and the fire and the aliens and the police and whatnot?
I tried watching a TAS of this several times
I guess it's not a game to be beaten or destroyed or anything
I find that I usually don't enjoy a TAS unless I've played the game.
@badp It's a turn based RPG. A TAS seems somewhat silly.
@LessPop_MoreFizz You should watch the TAS of Pokemon Blue.
22:54
@InvaderSkoodge But I don't like Pokemon.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well there's still stuff like manipulating the fuck out of the random number generator
but I guess that's not visually fun for the watcher
Turn based RPGs can have good TASes.
It's probably harder to do, and takes a specific game, though.
@badp Yeah, which, IIRC was very doable in Earthbound, but yeah, not exactly fun to watch.
Have you seen the TAS for NES Monopoly?
That one's silly.
22:55
@InvaderSkoodge I dunno, forcing all AI players to go bankrupt after the second round?
@InvaderSkoodge I mean, there are speedruns of old RPGs that are interesting, but 99% of the time, it's only because they sequence break in clever ways, and break the narrative, which makes them not just boring to watch, but extra boring to watch if you don't already know the game inside and out to begin with.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Counterexample: Chrono Trigger. Sometimes getting games destroyed like that can be enjoyable just in and of itself
(The Earthbound TAS is a hour long)

@LessPop thanks! It looks pretty fun so far. I have been wanting to play it for years. :)
Anyone played the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition yet?
@Sterno Waiting for Mac version later this week personally, but I'm hearing mostly good things.
Apparantly old BG mods even work (Though, at the moment, buggy as hell because they've not been brought up to date for the EE changes)

Q: What is the process required to transfer virtual console games from the wii to the wii U

TchalvakI'm looking to buy the Wii U, and one of the major draws of it for me is transferring the virtual console games from a previous wii. I've actually given the wii to a relative, so I'd like to know what is involved with the process of transferring virtual console games from the wii to the wii u. ...

Q: How is the cost of changing crafting discipline calculated?

pixelI have noticed while swapping between crafting disciplines that the price to swap between them keeps changing. For example, although I don't have the exact numbers from earlier, when I swapped Huntsman to Jewelcrafting it cost me approximately 1 silver, it was a little over 1 silver but the amou...

@OrigamiRobot Baby steps.
eugh
@Lazers this is actually a duplicate but the other one is badly worded
THANKS @LAZERS

Q: Framerate Bottleneck With GTX 560 TI 448

HaxelgemI recently upgraded from an old Nvidia GTX 9800+ to a GTX 560 TI 448. However, I'm getting much lower framerates than I'd expected based on benchmarks run by other 560 TI 448 owners. Specifically, in Battlefield 3, I can run Ultra on 30-40 FPS at 1600x900, but that's not the main issue. On low se...

@OrigamiRobot What level are you?
23:59
@pixel If that is the case, you should undelete it and let it get closed. That's what dupes are for.
