@origamirobot sounds like I am missing out on some fascinating conversation.... :p
@AshleyNunn Feel free to join us. Too bad you're on mobile.
@OrigamiRobot Clearly you have never played Gears of War.

Q: Which are the air accelerate and walk-through-walls commands?

KonstaIn this video and maybe other videos grenades and positions are explained with negative air acceleration (afaik) and walking through walls. Which are the commands to use for this? sv_airacceleration does not seem to exist in CS:GO.

user15026
04:16
@origamirobot yeah, I am. :(
user15026
I am wrapping all the Christmas presents! Which is pretty fun.
@GraceNote I got the normal ending...should I bother for others or what?
What are y'all playin? @OrigamiRobot @Fluttershy?
@RavenDreamer GW2 of course.
@Fluttershy have you played any of the other disgaea games before?
04:27
Kerbals in spaaaaash
This must be the shortest NIS game ever
@BenBrocka I own the first one. And I fucking love it.
@RavenDreamer GW2.
@Fluttershy Ah, Good taste posseses you. D3 forgoes the stupid weapon level BS, making your characters much more flexible
@BenBrocka I am happy to hear that, and I muchly look forward to playing it.
I think I played a pirated copy of some version of Disgaea, once.
04:34
@Fluttershy You'll be surprised how much pain is removed. It's a very fun game
I remember I went into an item, got my ass kicked, and promptly stopped playing.
@RavenDreamer burn the heretic
@BenBrocka Hey, I didn't say I pirated it! ;D
@RavenDreamer But you did, heretic
@RavenDreamer You need to play Disgaea.
@RavenDreamer I will mail you my copy of Afternoon of Darkness if you have a way of playing it.
04:35
@Fluttershy What is it for?
Afternoon of Darkness is PSP
@RavenDreamer PS2.
Systemwise, I mean.
Also, I apologize in advance if I accidentally star something.
Do PS3s play all PS2 games?
04:36
Really? I thought hour of darkness was the original
@BenBrocka Hang on...
@RavenDreamer depends which version. Is it the "fat" kind with the gloss finish or the thin with matte finish?
...I am not sure the difference between matte and gloss
@BenBrocka IT IS
heretic
04:37
I was wrong.
But I would assume it is the more recent.
one's glossy
PS2 version: Disgaea: Hour of Darkness.
the other one's matted
Gloss= smooth and shiny. Matte= not shiny and bumpy
04:37
@mana rimshot
(I had no clue either)
@Fluttershy yes, that's the original. With the BAD ENGLISH ETNA VOICE ACTING
@BenBrocka aw come on. it wasn't that bad.
Afternoon of Darkness has her good English VA (witch is in all games afterward)
I think it is matte.
04:38
@BenBrocka Whaaaaat? It was that one that made me love Etna. ._.
maybe I'm just looking through nostalgia goggles though.
@Mana Did you hear the same unenthused, lame voice that I did?
"Meh, I'm Etna. Whatever." vs "I'm Etna! I kill people and am awesome!"
I think you're wrong. The internet agrees.
QED.
@BenBrocka mATTE
The original etna voice? It was terrible (japanese non-wih standing)
The original had zero perosnality
04:40
you have zero personality
It was like "Whateve.r I'm getting paid right? Bleh. Lines"
The new one is sexy awesome evil
woah woah woah
Those are the three best adjectives
how old is Etna?
>1000 years old
user15026
04:41
@BenBrocka those are some pretty awesome adjectives you've got there.
oh, right.
@RavenDreamer DRUNK FRACTAL WITH ME!

Q: How should I work with limited space in my world?

EricI bought Minecraft for on Xbox Live and so far I love it but the map size is somewhat of annoyance. I am more of an adventurer in Minecraft and I hope that the map size is increased eventually in an update. Until then I would like to know how I can maximize space for mining mainly - any ideas?

@Fluttershy ...k
yo @Raven.
04:43
@RavenDreamer @OrigamiRobot IS GOING TO DRUNK FRACTAL WITH ME. I NEED YOU
I got drunk fractal once, but then I recursed
@Mana whaa?
Also apparently Etna is 1470 according to the wiki
I don't remember that being stated though, just > 1000
Oh my god I'm playing new game plus why are you showing me the tutorial
@RavenDreamer what's up?
@Mana I kicked Collision Detection's ass today!
And now I'm BFFs with the Dot product.
04:46
@RavenDreamer I...had no such luck.
I'm actually stuck on the same problem.
I despise collision detection.
but I only despise it because it brings out the worst in me.
Oh god tutorial why
What did I ever do to you
WTF new game plus this is not how it should be
user15026
Drunk fractal-ing sounds dangerous!
@AshleyNunn turns out the Mayans were a day off
It's cool. Hold my beer and watch this
recurses the universe onto itself
oh who am I kidding, this isn't Homestuck.
04:55
Your FACe isn't homestuck
...wait it kinda is
I'm stuck on your face, homes.
user15026
@mana like a really odd facehugger.

user15026

sentimental mode
I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SAY GOOD BYE TO... HER
04:59
@Mana I will talk to you about it sometime, then?
@Mana MODE NOT ENTERED: MISSING DLL
@RavenDreamer NO.
@Mana ...please? I'm proud of my solution
@OrigamiRobot delete /system32
@RavenDreamer yeah, anytime.
05:00
Hooray collisions!
@BenBrocka Very naughty.
@Mana Don't you have GW2?
Where is Gracenote when I need him/her? T_T
@BenBrocka I miss shim!
05:08
Hyperdimention Neptunia is the proper way to summon the beast. But apparently not when I need it

Q: How do I recruit the old CPUs to my party?

Ben BrockaI just beat the game and noitced there's trophies for Vert, Noire and Blanc joining the party. I didn't get them (but I did get Neptune) while playing the story normally. How can I get the other CPUs to join my party?

Q: Mass Effect 2 - Locking In a Romance after Suicide mission?

SpinurI finished the suicide mission before getting into the romance things. Then" I had the romance scene with Tali, but i dont think i locked in her romance, as i talked to her after the scene and i only got "Only if its safe" which led to nothing, and "No Its too dangerous" (i picked this one T___T ...

That awkward moment when you realized you've beenl istening to the intro music for the last 15 minutes
NIS sure can get some good intro music

Of course, Steam freezes up as soon as I try to launch Darksiders 2

Q: is there any ios' "Death Rally" or Amiga's "Super Cars" alike PS3 games?

Sinan YasarI hope this question is appropriate here, i did a lot of googling with no luck on this subject. When i was a kid i enjoyed Supercars a lot and was really happy finding a similar game on iphone which is the Death Rally, and now hoping to find a similar game on ps3. Thanks.

Argh
rages
It's been too long since I've played Darksiders
I can't do the combos automatically anymore :(
Oh, well, going to bed

Q: Detailed stats for vehicles, MAX's, and their weapons?

IzzyTo start, this is a great resource, but it only has information about infantry. I've checked, a few times. What brings me to ask this is, specifically, the MAX suit slot upgrade that provides "additional small-arms fire resistance" ranging from 1-5%. This seems like a horribly ineffective way ...

Q: Games like Fable TLC

subhojit777Are there any action role playing games like Fable: The Lost Chapters. I searched but I am not getting good results, they are referring to Mass Effect, Dragon Age, etc. I tried Fable 3 but my PC is not supporting the game. I have Core i5 processor with 4GB RAM and no graphics card, I use laptop. ...

Q: Are Project Proposals and Processor equipment placed at set locations in dungeons?

Ben BrockaMy first playthrough I thought I found Product Proposals "[PP]" and CPU equipment by luck, but as I go through playthrough 2 I seem to always get them from floating blue cubes in dungeons, who's appearance does not appear to be random (nor do they respawn). Are these items in preset locations? M...

Q: Is there a driving simulator, a la X-Plane, that exists?

Bigbio2002Is there a realistic driving (not racing) simulator or game that exists commercially? The idea being that you could give it to someone who doesn't know how to drive and they can learn the rules of the road by playing the game before getting behind the wheel of a real car.

Q: Problems connecting an N64 to an HDTV

Bigbio2002The TV is an Insignia NS-19LD120A13. The TV doesn't display anything when the N64 is connected and powered on with a cartridge (I tried all the input options, each one displays no signal). I Googled this issue and found a few related threads, saying that some newer TVs don't "contain the componen...

 
1 hour later…
13:33
is a bit of a mess. With the new game coming out in March, and the beta starting soon I think it'll need to be cleaned up
13:47
Okay, I'm going to start retagging. I think the original SimCity, from 1989 should be retagged to [simcity-classic], since there is only one (almost offtopic) question about the game on the site

Q: TV doesn't support resolution for video game

ygoygoI downloaded a game from Steam (run via q4wine) and installed it. When I launch it, the screen turns black and my Samsung LED television says, it doesn't support resolution and I only can exit by taking out the electricity plug from computer, putting it back and restart. What's the problem. Btw...

14:48
alternatively we could switch the new tag to SimCity-2013
Mornin', Mana.
similar to how "Sonic The Hedgehog" from 2006 is called "sonic-06"
or something around those lines
And yeah, I would suggest simcity-2013
@RavenDreamer oi
So you're working on something with collision?
14:50
So, how do you kick collision detection's ass?
Yeah, a platformer
Trying to get the player to hit against tiles properly
2d?
rectangular bounding boxes?
does that thing where he teleports around a bunch...if I remember correctly, I fix it by doing movement on one axis, updating the bounds and then doing it again on the other axis
Yeah.
Morning all.
Hello. Big hangover?
14:53
@RavenDreamer Nope. I usually don't get hangovers. When I do, though, I'm pretty good at taking care of them. =P
Do you remember the part where you were alternately tellin gmumble, "I'm sorry" and "I love you guys so much"
@Mana It would be more consistent with past examples, except that I foresee a lot of retagging from [simcity] to [simcity-2013] once the game comes out
@RavenDreamer Yeah, that's the algorithm I used last time I had this issue, seemed to work out pretty well.
@YiJiang Isn't that what tag wikis are for?
@RavenDreamer Nope. But that sounds like me. >_>
I was just curious if you had found another way of doing it
@Mana It doesn't fix the problem of people not reading. The original SimCity isn't exactly a popular game nowadays
@RavenDreamer woah, awesome.
@YiJiang in my heart it is :(
The official SimCity website used to host a Flash version of it. Don't know where it went now
@Fluttershy Also yeah, I have GW2. I never play it though.
@Mana Blasphemy.
14:59
A link on the site to the "official site" for the SimCity 4 now links to a Facebook page. Ugh.
@Fluttershy one of my friends bugs me all the time about it
don't be that friend.
@Mana Oh, I won't. Just know that I think you are a terrible person. =P
@Mana Yeah, it's the power of math.

Q: What can we do about low upvote rates?

SeamusI just earned a Notable Question badge (2500 views) for a question that has 1 upvote. How on Earth have 2499 people viewed this question without upvoting? I guess the problem is that many people who find this site through searching won't be registered and so won't upvote. Is there anything we can...

15:17
@Lazers I suggest finding everyone's addresses, and forcing them at gunpoint.
PUSH THE UPVOTE BUTTON OR DIE
The thing that amuses me about that
is that Arqade is already vote happy, relative to the other sites
@agent86 I just upvoted one of the questions to make your answer out of date. WHAT NOW.
@Mana OH GOD now I'm wrong on meta
this is unheard of. I will probably die :(
@agent86 you should make a musical
I'll just turn on my vote-o-matic machine and make sure that none of you vote on any of those questions.
can you feel it? the vote-o-matic rays, influencing your voting behavior? it's irresistible.

MUST. VOTE DOWN. RAVEN DREAMER.

Q: Cyborg Rumble Pad V.5

M4X MXI have bought a Cyborg Rumble Pad V.5, but it isn't recognized by my operating system (Windows 7 64bit Home Premium - French). I have downloaded the drivers from Saitek's website but the setup gets stuck, and it wouldn't recognize the controller. Do you have any idea how to solve this problem ?...

Q: Why disguise as scout?

MarvI've seen quite a few videos on Youtube where spies repeatedly switch to a scout disguise after each kill. Slow scouts seem like obvious spies. Why not choose a pyro or engineer?

Oct 24 '11 at 19:25, by GnomeSlice
You mean @JohnGore is GnomeSlice
Clearly a different John Gore. Since you had no space, and he has no capitalization.
@RavenDreamer JUST MAKING SURE
@RavenDreamer Yeah I did, there's just no spaces in chat pings.
16:12
Oh, point.
@RavenDreamer should have clued me in to that one.
@RavenDreamer derrrrr
Bah, do you guys think I should record footage of a shortcut through the game I'm doing this video answer for.
Or just leave it out.
Because I showed how to do it the long, proper way.
16:31
@GraceNote Is this a thing where I need multiple playthroughs, one for each ending or can I just save before the end and get most/all? Second playthrough went quite quickly (I've already taken down two CFWs for the last time) but I still don't want to do that >10 times

You're into electronic right
@GnomeSlice that's a nice summery track
@pixel A what?
Summary of the album?
16:39
the sort of thing that makes you think its summer
no the track you linked
@pixel Oh. Heh, I guess it does.
nvm
Just the intro, really.
whole tune for me
it has a very warm bass
@pixel You can't have possibly listened to the whole tune yet, it's four and a half minutes long.
@pixel But yeah, I agree.
16:40
well yeah if you skip the intro/outro
you save like 2 mins
plus its essentially the same chord progression for the whole track duration in a variety of instruments
@pixel Yeah, a bit. But I think it sounds great :P
oh I didn't say it sounded bad, I was justifying how my first comment came about -.-
everybody side chains everything so much these days
@pixel I didn't say you said it sounded bad XP

@GnomeSlice You have access to the Arqade YouTube, righT?
@Fluttershy I might, but I'm not sure I can remember the login information. Let me look.
@Fluttershy Yeah, I have it.
What do you need?
There's a typo in the video description.
Should be "our" instead of "out".
Huh, didn't notice.
Oh shit, this might be the old channel.
@Fluttershy yep, old channel. Sorry.

@fredley I only see the one about @Wipqozn... And I think that was a joke.
@Fluttershy Ah ok.
@RonanForman Can you fix that typo in the Marked Man description? <_< Or is it unfixable.
18:20
@Fluttershy Yeah, just did it.
I really want to play that sometime. Maybe some weekend in the new year?
@MBraedley Yeah, I keep on thinking that on like a friday, so it's too short notice. :)

Q: Does Ryu have an official surname?

ayckosterI searched for Ryu's lastname and found that it is "Hoshi", but somehow I get the feeling this is only used in the "crappy" movie Street Fighter. Here are the sources I have found so far: Wikia, Wikipedia. The name is always listed under Action Movie or Live Action. Is Hoshi his "real" name as u...

@RonanForman yeah, playing across several time zones requires more than 1 day notice

Everyone died. Outcome: Catastrophic failure
This is progress

@MBraedley I can make it to SoI ok, but my vertical descent strategy didn't pay off
@MBraedley What is RCS?
Stands for reaction control system. It's how you rotate and translate you craft
@MBraedley Oh ok.
A reaction control system (RCS) is a subsystem of a spacecraft whose purpose is attitude control and steering by the use of thrusters. An RCS system is capable of providing small amounts of thrust in any desired direction or combination of directions. An RCS is also capable of providing torque to allow control of rotation (roll, pitch, and yaw). This is in contrast to a spacecraft's main engine, which is only capable of providing thrust in one direction, but is much more powerful. RCS systems often use combinations of large and smaller (vernier) thrusters, to allow different levels of res...

18:35
@MBraedley Ok. Having added one to the ship, how do I use it?
@fredley so a couple of things: they need a special fuel, and you have 3 tank options. Then you need to place thrusters. Let me see if I can bring up a good pick
Dec 15 at 1:50, by MBraedley
user image
On the command module, look near the bottom and the decoupler. Those are the thrusters
I also have them on the lander outer pods
@MBraedley Ok
You generally want them in sets of 4 mirrored on either side of the centre of gravity
