Q: Should Bioshock Infinite be considered part of the series?

My question was retagged from bioshockbioshock2bioshock-inifinite to bioshock-series. what I would have considered a series, is Bioshock 1 and 2 would be the series/sequels. while, Bioshock Infinite would be a completely new series of games for Irrational Games. I looked at quite a few related...

@Lazers @pixel l2ask noob

@badp I wanted my hat for asking a question on meta.

@pixel OMFG HATBUSE

@badp you changed the fundamental meaning of my question

Anyway

Here is a quick question

Q: 'Windows installer has stopped working' error message when installing AMD Catalyst Drivers from v12.2 until the current drivers (v12.10)

Starting from v12.2 until the current version (v12.10) of the AMD Catalyst drivers, I always get a 'Windows installer has stopped working' error message, while installing or upgrading my drivers. Screenshot: The installer won't continue until I click on the 'Close the program' button on the Win...

Is this question ^

About (a) Games, (b) Graphics cards, or (c) the Installer software for graphics card drivers

I wish I was good with photoshop

user image

Why'd I edit that? I already got the edit hat

lol

speaking of hats

I haven't got a hat for my meta post

I am going to create a meta post complaining about it

oh

with a score of 1 or more

user image

although I'd settle for 295,000

well, apparently, I am better with photoshop than you are

@pixel hah! but I didn't use photoshop!

Q: Hats hats hats hats... - clarification for upvote hats

I have some questions about hats. Unfortunately a certain badp likes abusing me, so I will raise them as separate questions. When it says X upvoted Y (X = number, Y = "questions" or "answers") does this mean X Y's with upvotes, or X upvotes on Y? Hat hat hat... ahem, Ho ho ho!

Q: Moar hats hats hats... - definition clarification for review hat

I have some questions about hats. Unfortunately a certain badp likes abusing me, so I will raise them as separate questions. With the 5 Reviews hat, is this 5 reviews of the same type, or 5 reviews spread across the 6 different categories of review? Hat hat hat... ahem, Ho ho ho!

discussion hatdash

@badp HAH I BEAT YOU BY RAISING MOAR QUESTIONS lolololol

...

@pixel Good, good. Let the asking flow through you.

"a certain badp likes abusing me" -- you can literally get a private room (in chat I mean)

we have a private room

it's... private

I would like to point out that I'm the person being held at gunpoint

1:57 PM

it's got holes in the walls, that I can peek thorugh

9 mins ago, by pixel

user image

@badp that person doesn't have wings, it's not me

I tried to add wings, my photoshop skills aren't that good

Retractable wings

lol

I have to say you look almost respectable in a suit

everybody in my office bought food into work yesterday, like chocolate cake, pringles, crisps, etc

there is literally enough food here to feed us all for a couple of weeks

I've eaten so many pringles today I feel like I might burst

@jmfsg thank you for taking part in my experiment to get my "post on meta" hat!

2:08 PM

@pixel it was a gamble, if I couldn't reactivate it I would have been a very sad panda

you out of all people would have been able to get it fixed though

@pixel I don't think so... but I would've deleted all of you in a fit of rage probably

I like to delete things

if I had clicked on the link, who knows if it could have/would have been fixed

lol

great, so badp edits things, and you delete things

delete these history-of-gaming

@pixel anything else? (one of them was too recent, I'll delete it later)

I duno, I haven't actively burned any tags in months, that was the first one this month for certain

the whole 'arqade clean up 2012' thing kinda fizzled out and died

I personally blame everybody else, for complaining about my actions resulting in the front page being vandalised

2:12 PM

I need to earn moar hats

moar hats is easy

edit 5 posts

review 5 posts

delete all of @badp's posts

ooOOOoo

I have another hat incoming

@Jin go on every site you can upvote on, and upvote 10 times

lots of hats

if you don't know what to upvote, sort all questions by most votes and jump upvote those, they're obviously good!

@pixel don't you win one of each kind across the network?

One per site

One thing I did notice, Gamedev's most voted questions are all closed

@pixel oh... so much deletion potential

i see no one has found the winterbash easter egg yet

2:15 PM

user image

@Jin since you obviously know how to find it, you could always inform me on how to find it!

@pixel No, that's silly. Don't tell her, tell me!

don't tell him, he's a turtle

@pixel you mean a turtlepr0nlover

no, an actual turtle, I even saw @fbueckert suggest making turtle soup out of him, I think we should do that

Day made; got a had for mod abuse! HATS FOR EVERYONE

2:19 PM

@BenBrocka which hat is that?

You're telling me @fbueckert is Shredder?

the last moderator to abuse powah got shot

oh wait

that's splinter

hmm

@Jin Migrated a programming question to SO, got hat

@BenBrocka easter egg!

you mean moderators get hats that NOBODY ELSE CAN?!

there is definitely some favouritism going on here

2:21 PM

@pixel No, we can just get the close hat without needing 4 other people to VTC the question (at least I assume the post has to actually be closed)

there is a close hat?

BRB

votes to close EVERYTHING

It's actually a bowtie

Which my prinny wears on his crotch for some reason

@BenBrocka I wonder what would happen if I close a question and then re-open it

now, that would be abuse!

what use is a bowtie to me

pff

@jmfsg feel free to test, but let me cast a close and reopen vote first!

@BenBrocka crotch-tie?

2:23 PM

user image

How do you actually build something like that?

The editor won't zoom out far enough to even see it -.-

mods probably

@BenBrocka I had to google prinny. They look terrifying. I am now afraid of you.

@pixel Actually, I think I just found how to scroll the view in the editor

user image

Pirnnies are cute, that comic aside

2:27 PM

"You earned The Abby on Arqade!" -- muahaha

@BenBrocka Please don't slit my throat.

No promises

wtb more people's opinions

LessPop_MoreFizz

Don't buy The War Z on Steam. The dev is a tool.

5

@LessPop_MoreFizz More people need to see this.

It's currently one of the top selling games on steam, but it doesn't deserve to be.

2:31 PM

@Wipqozn Welcome to real life

user image

@tiddy i was on that same reddit thread a few mins ago

it's funny how many people didn't get it at first

@Jin nowkiss

@Jin Ha, yeah I saw it early on, and all the top comments were just angry people

link?

reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1539z9/…

2:37 PM

lol

hehe

@tiddy Ahaha, brilliant!

Here is a little comic in honor of the anniversary of Kid Icarus. atwitsendcomics.com/comics/index/733/Anniversary

Coworker: TIL Shirley Phelps-Roper (Westboro Baptist Church) is banned from entering the UK for "fostering extremism or hatred".
Me: awesome
Me: link?
Coworker: For what?
Me: The WBC thing
Coworker: Reddit.com. It made front page.
Me: yes, but where does _that_ link to?

I hate you reddit

@LessPop_MoreFizz It does look like a pretty neat game, but with the way the dev thinks...

@OrigamiRobot People don't do sourcing anymore :(

2:40 PM

I am happy to report that I have never been on reddit since the first time I went on reddit

@SaintWacko where did you read that?

@OrigamiRobot Link?

@OrigamiRobot All the news that's fit to not read

@SaintWacko I ran across an article recently called "10 things reddit taught us in 2012" and it was a bunch of scientific discoveries and stuff. REDDIT WAS NOT THE SOURCE OF THAT I HATE YOU

If you dig under the surface and pick out specific sub-reddits, reddit is fantastic. All the default front page subs are awful

2:42 PM

@jmfsg Oh, it was on Reddit

re: WarZ devs being dicks, this

Oct 11 at 22:02, by OrigamiRobot

@badp I prefer not to dig through crap to find slightly interesting discussions.

@pixel I wander into the Dwarf Fortress subreddit occasionally. I love reading the stories there

@OrigamiRobot Wow...

LessPop_MoreFizz

@tiddy Alternately, if you dig under the surface, you can also find horrors unimaginable and the reason that I generally refer to Reddit as a cesspool.

I love internet drama

2:44 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz World is a scary place yes

@LessPop_MoreFizz It can be worse than /b/ at times

@LessPop_MoreFizz Not only is the SolForge demo only for iOS, it's only for iPad. Blegh.

remember Ocean Marketing? good times...

@pixel You really enjoy your badging, don't you?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@tiddy The world is scary enough without the likes of /r/creepshots and /r/beatingwomen and /r/jailbait etc etc etc etc

2:45 PM

@fbueckert my badging?

@pixel hatting, badging, whatever.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot I will personally deliver your displeasure to mister kibler

You likes your cheevos.

@fbueckert they are two separate things!

@LessPop_MoreFizz It wont be the same.

2:46 PM

@pixel The requirements are the same, really.

@fbueckert I like collecting things in general, just ask @OrigamiRobot about our discussions regarding keeping everything in GW2, and my view on collecting minipets

@LessPop_MoreFizz Perfectly ok to avoid reddit because of those subs

@pixel likes hats? ugh

@OrigamiRobot MINIPETS!

@LessPop_MoreFizz I wouldn't demonize the site because of them though

2:46 PM

which incidentally, I already have one of

I got the toy doll

and tonight I will make another

@pixel I'd rather have the everlasting tonics which you can also make from the frames.

@OrigamiRobot WHAT

@pixel Yep, Frame + Glittering Dust + 50 Stuffing + 50 Glue

you lie

@LessPop_MoreFizz Wait, are those real subreddits?

2:48 PM

citation needed or it didn't happen

@pixel I can't get to the wiki from work.

@SaintWacko Anything that isn't illegal probably has a subreddit

i've run into some dark corners on reddit...

@tiddy Wow...

@OrigamiRobot poor excuse

2:48 PM

some stuff just can't be unseen

LessPop_MoreFizz

@tiddy Counterpoint: All three of those things are illegal.

@tiddy quite a few things that are illegal too

LessPop_MoreFizz

And two out of three subreddits shut down

At least 4chan doesn't dedicate specific boards to that sort of thing...

LessPop_MoreFizz

after large public outcry.

2:49 PM

@pixel wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Endless_Plush_Griffon_Tonic

RDP FTW

@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't believe any of them are illegal

@OrigamiRobot this I agree with

@OrigamiRobot meh, it doesn't add stats, would rather have the pets

@pixel I'd rather not have frames I can't use.

i've only done one Wintersday dungeon, the one in the Grove

@OrigamiRobot launch those you don't use into the sun

@Jin well, you missed out on stuff you can't get any other way.

2:51 PM

@pixel The pets don't add stats either. I fail to see the difference.

@OrigamiRobot the minipets don't stop you from fighting

@pixel the only thing I'm interested in is the weapon skins, which I still can get by collecting presents right?

Why give the same guy perfect aim with slag grenades and rocket launchers

I don't get it

@pixel I'd rather have a complete set of something that have to pick 2. You should at least understand that Ms Completionist

@LessPop_MoreFizz Needs more context. In particular, people like Claressa Shields might disagree with making beating up women illegal. :)

2:53 PM

@OrigamiRobot how do you know you can't complete them all, maybe you can, maybe it just takes doing it every day from start to end, you don't know this isn't true!

@MartinSojka women are allowed to fight other women

@pixel So are men, depending on context. Context is everything.

@MartinSojka men aren't allowed to hit women, not unless they want stabbing repeatedly in the penis.

@badp BTW I gave @ianpugsly a level 50 Gunzerker mod you might want to dupe (if he knows how to dupe and still has it). OTherwise I don't have any mods for you, just mountains of guns

btw I'm doing the final quest if anybody needs heads

@pixel I'm pretty sure my grandfather shot and killed quite a few women (Soviet army soldiers) in his time.

2:56 PM

@badp whoa, watch your language

@badp I'd argue every man in this room wants head

my cat is acting crazy. i already fed him. he won't leave me alone

@pixel Some people want their heads purple

WOO

You have earned "The Cake Is Not A Lie" hat on Arqade!

@Jin Get a string and play with him!

2:57 PM

I got that one too

I now have 6 arqade hats

oh, is that a secret hat?

C. Ross has 7 hats

@badp watch for oranges, I heard he has a 75% drop rate for an orange the first time he dies but I have no idea if that's a new feature or BS

@Jin NOOOOOOOoooooooooo...........

We did get the conf call from him the "first" time in playthrough two a while ago though
