@spugsley What are you playing? <.<
What are ALL of the KoA players building class-wise?
 
@Tristan I'm playing rogue, primarily using faeblades (which I crafted myself and they are AWESOME). But I wanted to know what @Sterno is playing because I want to know what he's putting his points into. I'm kind of running out of stuff I want in the 'finesse' category
 
@spugsley Have you been building in any of the other trees? Some of the hybrid destinies seem pretty cool.
 
@Tristan I haven't but I thought about respecing because I have a lot of points in finesse in things I'm not even using. I could easily have a bunch of stuff in another category
 
@spugsley I'm only level 8 right now, but I'm trying to build toward a battlemage. I found a few set items that seem like they'd be fairly helpful with that style.
 
@Tristan only thing...I'll be a little pissed if I respec because I've found a ton of set items and sold them if they weren't for my class
 
12:20 AM
@spugsley Same here... But I have the Ceremonial set just sitting in my inventory taking up space.
On that note... Do equipped items take up inventory space?
 
@Tristan omg. I'm level 21. Wtf....
 
@spugsley I've been busy helping set up the Spleef stuff for Game On tomorrow. lol
 
@Tristan I went to look expecting to be like....10? But no...I'm 21. Wow, I have no life
 
Wait... You didn't even know what level you were? lol
 
@Tristan haaaaaaaa no
 
12:32 AM
@Tristan Did you build the face thing in the end?
 
@RonanForman We got about halfway finished with it. Then we realized the extremely high amount of color changes in the original image made it look like crap, so we scrapped it.

Q: Can I find a set item more than once?

spugsleyI'm currently level 21 and I haven't encountered the same piece of set equipment (yellow items) twice. Can I find the same set item more than once? I'm curious because I'm thinking about respecing and I've sold every set item I've encountered that wasn't related to my current class.

 
Awww.
 
Call me crazy, but this cat doesn't look like he wants kisses at all:
@RonanForman: How was Game on?
 
@spugsley doh! I rarely sell anything that's unique or set. I just dump it at my house.
 
12:40 AM
@Wipqozn It was really fun. We did 2 games, I lost both.
 
@agent86 I didn't have a house yet and I loathe full inventories
 
I found a couple of items for I think a finesse set. I've only found 2 "set" items so far and they've been from the same set. Makes me wonder if there's any factors that change the drops
 
@agent86 I don't think so. I've found a dozen set items, all different classes.
 
hmm, well, screw that then.
 
@RonanForman Excellent. Glad to see swapping out TF2 for LoL has worked out for the best.
 
12:42 AM
fine, FINE, disprove my theory.
 
Mind you, anything would have been better than the terrible turn out TF2 was having.
 
I'm sorry :( just figured I'd be helpful since this game has ruled my life since it came out
 
@spugsley no, no, that's fine. poor little theory, barely half formed, and you just come in and smash the poor thing to bits. It's okay, I'm sure my poor theory felt very little pain.
 
@Wipqozn There's only so much you can do with TF2, maybe we'll end up with the same thing with LoL after a while.
 
I want my new name to be Spugsley: Smasher of Theories
 
12:44 AM
I mean we've basically been playing different games inside of minecraft each time.
 
@spugsley hehe, I endorse this :)
 
@RonanForman The main problem with TF2 is no one was showing up, which was a problem for awhile really.
You could be right though
 
@spugsley You need a metaphorical hammer.
 
@RonanForman 'metaphorical hammer' is my new favorite phrase
 
@Wipqozn No one was showing up because there's only so much you can do was my point.
 
12:46 AM
@RonanForman I'm aware.
In anycase. LoL seems to be working for now.
 
@spugsley Spugsley, Smasher Of Theories, Wielder of the Mighty Metaphorical Hammer of Selling Set Items!
 
@Wipqozn Why didn't you tell me there was a Big Lebowski reference in MLP?
 
you sound badass enough to get your own action figure at this rate.
 
@agent86 congratulations, you are now my hero.
 
20% cooler everyone.
 
12:49 AM
@spugsley I know! Whoever thought of it must be a genius and master of wit.
 
@spugsley hey, you're the one with the hammer. I think that qualifies you to be the hero.
 
@RonanForman see? I'm the hero now. Problem solved
now if only someone could answer my question about set items...though I don't think I'm going to like the answer
which means the small fortune I've amassed is going to buying all that crap back :/
 
@agent86 Eh, I have no problem with DLC that adds content commensurate with it's cost.
The New Vegas DLC ranged from 'pretty good' to 'better than the original game'.
You put all of them together, you have an amount of content similar to an xpack, and you have a price tag similar to an xpack.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, thus the "almost all" in my reply. There's some decent DLC out there, the borderlands DLC was good too. I just despise this "2-3 multiplayer maps for $15" and "a few more sharp bits to stab people with" DLC
give me some content
 
@agent86 Yeah, 'weapon packs' are the worst.
Though, I will admit I bought the Gun Runners Arsenal for new vegas. At 3 bucks, it didn't feel so exploitative.
Especially given the number of new weapons it added.

Q: Does the quality of the item affect the quality of the salvaged components?

jwaddellWhen salvaging items (i.e. destroying an item in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning) does it make any difference as to the quality of the item you use? I've received nice components with bonuses from bottom-level items, and received a single bottom-level component from an item that had a number of eff...

 
Let's end the day in a romantic way
@Mana Dearest creature in creation, fuck you and your laser too
do we really need to edit war on the room description?
 
@spugsley Apparenty you kept thinking @ipugsley was talking to you when we were playing.
 
@RonanForman that's normal
 
Maybe the first time, but repeatedly.
 
1:02 AM
@RonanForman I always think he's talking to me. Worse then that, the reason I hate him having that stupid mic on is because I like to sing songs about the game I'm playing and I don't want people to hear it
@RonanForman and I didn't mean that it was a normal thing, I meant that was normal for me
 
@StrixVaria just answered your Voldo Mantis Crawl question - I wish I was a Voldo player (it's not an great answer, with good combos and transitions and such, just a start really)
@spugsley I do want to mention these songs are particularly vulgar and typically hilarious
 
@spugsley I want to hear these songs!
 
along the lines of "fuckin' up allll the brownies, stupid brownies, everybody hates youuuuu"
etc. etc.
 
@IanPugsley divorced
 
@IanPugsley you better watch out, she's got a metaphorical hammer and I hear those things hurt like you wouldn't believe.
 
1:05 AM
@IanPugsley @agent86 and I'll sing while I murder you with it
 
Mission: Get Rid of My Wife So I Can Play More Video Games - phase one complete
2
 
Since I don't think enough of you clicked that link:
 
@agent No, liike you can only believe.
 
@IanPugsley funny, because my mission was to get rid of you so I could play more video games. This may prove to be counterproductive
 
1:06 AM
@spugsley NO U
 
@ipugsley @spugsley Why don't you play more games together?
 
fight fight fight fight!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz it had "CPAC" and "hip hop" on the same page - not gonna happen
 
@RonanForman too easy
 
@IanPugsley That's the point. It's so bad.
So very very very very bad.
I am doubled over laughing here.
WHITE PEOPLE. RAPPING.
The whitest of white people.
 
1:08 AM
@RonanForman she's bad at sharing (anything with loot sharing, she can't play with anyone) and in general doesn't like the same genres as me
 
Also you too should record it for the channel, I can only imagine it would be hilarious.
 
@RonanForman I've been trying to convince her, lol
 
@IanPugsley Clearly, you need to play Magicka together then.
That is the ideal game for this experiment. Yup.
 
You could do a dual com of 2 different games! O.O
 
@RonanForman my songs?!? Noooooooo never
 
1:11 AM
Get @origami over and play Trine 2. That would be cool.
 
@RonanForman that's not a bad idea

Q: Potions and Their Particle Colors

Jonny BJust a Normal Day in Minecraft When... I was drinking potions to see how many status effects i could get at once. Then while in behind camera view i noticed that the potion particle effect was a greenish-gray color. Some further Testing It seems like color of the particle effect is determined...

 
You'd only need 1 copy of trine, assuming you have 3 game pads.
 
1:27 AM
w...what?
Why did somebody star me asking @RonanForman how game on was?
 
Do what now?
 
Oh, I assume someone meant to star the picture of the cat.
 
@Wipqozn Maybe someone thought this was THC.
@Origami Play Trine 2 with I and @spugsley for the channel.
 
@RonanForman I see how it is. You don't want to play with me!
cries
 
@RonanForman wait! I didn't agree to this plan! Also, I don't think we can post the kind of language I generally use when playing a game
 
1:30 AM
 
@RonanForman What is that?
 
Well that didn't work out at all.
Damn images not one-boxing.
Yes! Fixed it. I am an awesome handsome genius.
 
@spugsley Bleep it out, it'd be funnier that way v
@Wipqozn I'm not playing with anyone.
 
@RonanForman no....no it wouldn't. These aren't regular curse words. These are innovative, creative words
 
@RonanForman Keep it. She has very hilarious swears.
 
1:32 AM
@RonanForman I'd give you an example but it would get flagged right away I'm sure
 
@spugsley Those are the best kind.
 
@spugsley Don't worry, we only flag things posted by @GnomeSlice.
4
 
@Wipqozn hahahaha
 
Okay, but add an uncensored warning at the beginning.
 
@Wipqozn I think the server is ready to be sent to Marco. You want to see the finished product?
 
1:33 AM
@Origami trine2.com
@spugsley If you were to record then I'd be able to hear them.
 
@RonanForman stop using logic!
 
@Wipqozn Fuck off
 
ChatterBox is now at version 3.2, with @John's request that clicking anywhere outside the inbox popup now closes it.
 
@GnomeSlice I was just joking gnome, my apologies.
 
1:44 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz wh
 
@GnomeSlice You have no idea how hard I struggled not to flag that for comedic effect just now.
 
whahhahahahaaahahahahaaaaaaaahahahahahhaa
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz FUCK OFF
 
Oh, either gnome is grumpy, or is just saying these things for the lawls
 
Also, I just finished Bastion.
 
1:45 AM
@GnomeSlice My friend hyped up the end like crazy, so I was pretty disappointed.
 
@GnomeSlice good game
 
@GnomeSlice Did you save Zulf?
 
@Mana Yes.
 
@GnomeSlice Good man.
 
I needed a meat shield.
 
1:46 AM
@Mana MISTER AMERICA
 
Also, it was the right thing to do.
 
@GnomeSlice I lol'd.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz The old people dancing in the background did it for me
 
I also did the evacuation, rather than the restoration.
I was flipping my shit trying to decide.
 
@GnomeSlice I think saving Zulf makes for a much more epic ending.
 
1:47 AM
Well, I tried shooting him first.
That didn't work so I picked him up.
Also, I'm lying.
I'm guessing that if you do the Bastion's restoration, the game will simply start again from the beginning.
 
@GnomeSlice Well, you get the New Game+ mode either way
 
Yes.
 
It's basically a different ending montage + narration
 
Machete + Musket
But the same stuff happens right.
I thought it was neat the way the Ura were attacking me at first, and then slowly stopped as I was carrying Zulf.
One archer guy started to shoot at me and the guy behind him stabbed him.
 
Yeah, that was a well done touch.
 
1:49 AM
@RonanForman @spugsley said maybe sometime. She is scared of you :P
 
Also well done is the fact that the endings show Zulf/Zia as happy/sad depending on which one you chose
Since Zulf's life was much happier before the calamity and Zia's was much happier afterwards
NOT WELL DONE IS ZIA'S VOICE ACTING.
ahem sorry.
 
Zulf wasn't even really featured in my ending.
Ah, she had a lisp.
She sounded old enough that she shouldn't have needed this old fart telling her what she'd been living through recently.
 
:O The cake was a lie. :O
 
I still wish they'd gone into more detail about what exactly the Calamity did.
 
@GnomeSlice It was Calamitous. I Swear, do you just never pay attention to anything?
 
1:53 AM
I know it was bad. But what did it physically do to things in the world.
Based on the level designs, it looked like it made all the ground disappear.
In which case, what's the bloody point of living there.
 
@Mana Argh, yes, so true.
 
What kind of discussion did I walk in on?
 
@RavenDreamer Bastion
 
That depends on where you are.
 
@Mana I should play that game.
I was gifted a copy of it for christmas, I do believe.
 
1:58 AM
@RavenDreamer Yes, you should. I'd been playing it, and recently started over so I could play it with my father.
Just finished it.
 
@GnomeSlice By "play with" you mean...?
It's not multiplayer, right?
 
@RavenDreamer No, my father likes watching me play games.
So we can both follow the story, etc.
 
I see I see.
I made a sound cloud account today.
My brother refused to download the .wav file I sent him. :/
 
@RonanForman @OrigamiRobot more like I'm scared of people in general
 
@RavenDreamer Link please.
 
2:00 AM
It's the same thing you've already heard. I'm pretty sure.
 
I want to follow you on Soundcloud.
 
@RavenDreamer This is old news - make something new, jerk
 
Done.
 
@DaveMcClelland BUT ITS HARD
 
2:01 AM
Also, this is pretty good.
 
@RavenDreamer THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
 
ØŸMy teacher asked for a Timbre! How do I give him a Timbre!ØŸ
@DaveMcClelland THAT'S WHAT HE SAID
 
What do you mean 'he asked for a timbre'?
 
@GnomeSlice Note the irony marks. ;)
Although in the written English language there is no standard way to denote irony or sarcasm, several forms of punctuation have been proposed. Among the oldest and frequently attested are the percontation point invented by English printer Henry Denham in the 1580s, and the irony mark, furthered by French poet Alcanter de Brahm in the 19th century. Both of these marks were represented visually by a backwards question mark (in unicode: ). The character can also be represented on Windows by using the Alt code 1567. Using LaTeX, one can display it by including the graphicx package, and then...
 
Oh. I thought those were just shit on my screen.
 
2:02 AM
@Wipqozn Can we get a LoL room set up on the mumble server so we don't take over the main lobby?
 
@StrixVaria done
 
Thanks!
 
Why do I have so many followers on Soundcloud?
I haven't uploaded a single thing.
 
:3369047 "I heard you're working on a piece. I have been practicing with my instrument, and I think I might be able to help."
@GnomeSlice Bots?
 
@Wipqozn That text to speech thing just has a seizure when it tries to say your name.
4
 
2:04 AM
@RavenDreamer There are no bots. People probably follow me so they can see when I favourite new tracks.
 
@RavenDreamer "I've been working on improving my embouchure. I've gotten really good with my lips"
 
@RonanForman: Do you have admin privs in mumble?
 
@RavenDreamer Also, assuming I'm remembering your tastes in music correctly, you may want to check out Translunar
 
@DaveMcClelland Why do you know that term?
 
@RavenDreamer I'm a musicy person sometimes
 
2:05 AM
(Also, fix your leading quotation mark)
 
@RavenDreamer I assume he plays Brass.
 
@GnomeSlice More like, Kicks Brass. Hey-o!
 
@GnomeSlice I'm a percussionist, actually. Just one of the few that actually like to learn about other instruments as well
 
I played the Trombone for two years in highschool. I was actually getting pretty good.
 
Trumpet for 3, Piano for 6.
Voice for 2.
 
2:06 AM
@RavenDreamer I'm bored and haven't played tf2 in basically forever. Want to join me?
 
Oh shit, this new Translunar track is beautiful.
 
@DaveMcClelland Shouldn't you buy me dinner first?
 
@RavenDreamer I played piano for 9 years or so (as a kid, so I was never very good). Then percussion from 5th grade until the end of college. Sang through junior high and high school
@RavenDreamer We all know you're a cheap date who gives it up more easily than that
 
I played piano for years when I was a kid.
Many years.
It's pretty much the reason I know so much about musical theory now. I can't play it worth a damn any more though.
 
2:08 AM
@DaveMcClelland I may be desperate, but am I @DaveMcClelland desperate?
2
 
I never really got very good at it.
 
Also, bring it.
Fisticuffs!
 
All my piano lessons got me was the ability to type really fast. Anytime I sit down at a piano now my fingers don't do anything like I want them to
 
I am highly amused by this back-and-forth between Dave and Evan. Keep it up.
 
puts on fighting hat
 
2:08 AM
@RavenDreamer Challenge accepted - on the bridge on mach4?
 
@DaveMcClelland So be it.

Q: How can I acquire more energy, other than by purchasing or waiting?

BoraI have been playing the game for a day now, and have noticed, the bottleneck is energy, if one wants to keep playing.. Now, energy accumulates over time all-right, and it can also be purchased online, but, I wonder, is there any other way of filling up your energy bar and keeping it that way?

 
Quick everyone - to my server! 205.234.166.21:27015
 
I wish I had discovered borderless windows mode sooner.
 
@RavenDreamer -sw -noborder -novid
 
2:10 AM
@StrixVaria I lol'd
 
@RavenDreamer It's the best part of the source engine, honestly
 
@DaveMcClelland and -nointro
 
@RavenDreamer I have chat open on my second monitor and can switch without any issues. It's fantastic
@RavenDreamer -novid does the same thing, doesn't it?
@mana you should join us for tf2!
 
@Mana Who?
 
@DaveMcClelland I don't play anymore, sorry
@GnomeSlice Raven. I switch to actual first names occasionally when I get bored.
 
2:13 AM
can anyone playing KoA tell me if alchemy is worth the trouble?
 
@DaveMcClelland Um.
 
@Mana You should change your mind
 
I'd flag that, but people would get pissed.
 
@GnomeSlice I tauntkilled him as a heavy. Pervert
 
okay... so I can spend 17,000 gold to have the blacksmith repair my equipment... OR, I can spend 700 gold on a stack of repair kits and fix it myself. Decisions, decisions...
 
2:17 AM
@DaveMcClelland I'm really not sure how to respond to that flag, so I'll just so "not sure"
Also, remember when the Simpsons was not terrible?
 
user15026
@agent86 The second one seems like the much better option? But I have no idea what you're playing, so it might not be XD
 
@Wipqozn I think you meant to say "this was awesome"
 
@AshleyNunn yeah, it's the better option :) it's so stupidly lopsided it's not even funny!
 
@DaveMcClelland oh, of course. Silly me.

Q: Games for Linux?

the.midgetI'd like to know about how varied the scope of games available for Linux is. I am not asking about using Windows games in Linux, as it has been asked several times on this site already; I want know about games that have been made available specifically for Linux, or maybe open source games whose ...

 
2:21 AM
@Wipqozn Join us in TF2 shenanigans!
 
2:33 AM
@spugsley I'm doing the Might-Finesse-Magic thing right now. Weapons are daggers and chakrams
 
@GamingnotonGaming I like your new name.
 
2:49 AM
@Sterno how's that working out for you? I'm thinking of respecing to cover more of the categories since all of my points are in finesse right now. I'm not using a lot of the things I put points in to
 
The resemblance is uncanny!
 
@spugsley Pretty well. I like the +1 to all skills it grants right now. Hard for me to compare to anything else though. I started out as Finesse originally but the higher tiers of abilities didn't thrill me. So I figured I'd focus on the passives from a bunch of different classes (bonus health and block from might, stealth and daggers from finesse, chakrams and lightning bolt and lower casting cost from magic)
I'm playing on Hard and the game certainly hasn't been hard except for the really rare pack of monsters with ranged attacks
I suspect that's true for most builds though
 
@Sterno yeah, I'm level 21 and the upper level finesse stuff is really lame. I'm not a fan of poison or bombs. I might go finesse/sorcery so I can try out the chakrams
 
They are sweet
 
@Sterno that and I'm not going to invest anything in alchemy. It's sooooooo tedious
 
2:53 AM
Chakrams are awesome!
 
@spugsley I'm actually rewriting my skill answer right now. After my experiment today, I think at low levels it makes sense to ignore crafting skills and just respec when you want to do a bunch of crafting, then respec back
 
it's settled then. Chakrams ftw!
 
I've respecced about 6 times now and the cost is still only about 14k
 
@Sterno I'm just super sick of picking up plants etc etc. I don't use potions with the exception of health and experience boosters. No reason for me to do alchemy
