Just finished dear esther... excellent. Very excellent. Like many have said, it's not a game at all. It's an ineractive story.
 
How is it that everyone manages to talk to me the moment I get to the PC.
 
LOL my other question got tweeted by Gaming, so I guess I did something right yesterday...
 
@ArdaXi moderator powers means I can leverage the stackexchange superspycamera network. nice shirt, btw.

things are super quiet today compared to yesterday. I thought I was going to break the sound barrier with as fast as I was having to move yesterday, but today... it's all smooth sailing and calm seas.
 
@agent86 I CAN FIX THAT! DEPLOYING SURPRISE IN 3...2...1....
Disclaimer: Not the Minecraft surprise.
 
@OrigamiRobot no no, don't "fix" it. I like today better!
 
5:13 PM
@agent86 ! really? :D goes buy
 
@agent86 Too late.

Q: How to open Aster Strongboxes in Kingdom of Amalur?

MushcubeI searched internet for a answer but all I finded was that I need to find gravestone that gives me "half an amulet" wich then starts a questline that gives me a key to these chests? Eny one can tell me what is the name of the quest line and where can I find these gravestones? Thanks!

 
okay, I hate you chat markdown.
 
@agent86 Oh, not released yet? :(
@agent86 I always struggle with quote markdown too
 
@agent86 Does anybody actually know what markdown is/n't supported in chat?
 
@FallenAngelEyes no, just announced thus far
 
supposedly it's coming out "this spring"
 
@JasonBerkan Thanks
 
@agent86 Oh I see, full expansion, not just a small DLC pack
 
5:19 PM
@FallenAngelEyes yeah. I was kind of surprised at this, since it felt like they were just doing "piecemeal" DLC instead of expansions this time around
probably this means another big Civ5 sale coming in the next few months. I grabbed a few bits of DLC over the christmas sale that I have yet to try, though
 
@agent86 taht looks like it might be harboring some of the current DLC civs.
(At least, I'm pretty sure the Netherlands / Celts / Mayans are)
 
This answer could use a lot of clean up

A: Skryim Enchanting Problem - Why is the base percentage only 17% when it should be 25%?

robertthat is something that i want to do to. But i have read of few ways to improve it. If u enchant all ur armour with fortify alchemy to wateva % u can make it. In ur case 19 u can get all ur bonuses put together and gives u a total of 114% fortify alchemy. witch u can create an enchanting potion to...

 
@OrigamiRobot So do it! ;)
 
@RavenDreamer I can't devote that much time at work :P
 
I've been rewriting the script with the pirate theme, just cause I like it better, if anyone wants to write the other script so it doesn't suck then they can, but it sucks so we're not using it in it's current state. docs.google.com/document/d/…
 
5:22 PM
@RavenDreamer you're saying they're already DLC civs, and they're bundling it into the expansion?
 
@agent86 I'm saying they might bundle some of them.
 
@RonanForman Oh, remember when we were doing this?
 
@OrigamiRobot Doing what?
 
@RonanForman Machinima
 
@OrigamiRobot We still are, it's just as the storyboading phase, and I'm doing that, and I suck at motivating.
 
5:25 PM
@RonanForman I was dodging the fact that I forgot by "reminding" you.
 
I need to get the credits sorted, as I have no idea who did what. I think I credited @OrigamiRobot for something he didn't do at one point.
 
What credits?
 
@RavenDreamer NL isn't current DLC
 
@OrigamiRobot The credits for the video.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Shows you how lately I've played Civ V u_u
 
5:28 PM
@RonanForman Oh the Terraria one?
 
@OrigamiRobot Don't tease me, I will destroy you!
 
@FallenAngelEyes So Diablo III's updating this weekend. We should have another shindig.
 
@RonanForman T_T I don't know what you are talking about. T_T
 
But for now... LUNCH! Nomnomnom.
 
@RavenDreamer This.
 
5:29 PM
@RavenDreamer yeah, I was really confused when you said that. You being clueless explains it though :P
 
@RavenDreamer They gonna wipe again?

Q: What are the coins for?

KatieKI like collecting coins as much as the next person, but what can I use them for in Mario Kart 7? Do I get a free life if I collect enough of them?

 
oops, looks like I just hooked some of my friends on G.SE :)
 
I'm trying to hook some with the lure of "You'd better build up 300 rep so you're eligible for the inevitable Mass Effect 3 contest"
so far only one bit
 
@agent86 agents 87 and 88?

Q: Why do I sometimes fully heal at the end of combat?

SternoAt first I thought I was crazy, but I've been keeping an eye out for it and it definitely happens on really rare occasions. I'll be fighting some enemies and when the battle ends, my life bar fills itself back up to full. In my last 2 hours of play or so, I've only seen it happen 3 times. ...

Have any of you guys playing KOA actually seen this happen since about level 5?
I have never seen it again since writing the question.
 
@OrigamiRobot they have more original names than that :)
but that would be cool
@Sterno I'm never paying close enough attention, personally
 
5:56 PM
I have noticed I fall into FPS habits and sometimes slap "R" at the end of a battle to "reload", which drinks a healing potion. But I'm 99% sure that's not what I saw at the time.
 
@Sterno The solution is clearly to enable autoreload.
in your FPS I mean
 
@Sterno I'm now trying to imagine your character attempting to reload a greatsword... ;)
"what the heck, sterno, there's no ammo in this. quit pressing reload."
 
@Sterno Raven's comment implies this happening at some point, at least
 
@GraceNote Yeah, especially with all the upvotes on that comment. But I'm baffled.
Bah, I'll just let a bounty sort it out
Reload chakrams!
 
@Sterno I upvoted it for the word "afoot".
 
6:04 PM
@Ullallulloo Check out the pirate script and tell me it's not better.
 
@FallenAngelEyes yes.
 
@RonanForman It's not better.
:P jk
It's more well-written, but I still like the idea of natives better.
or both

Q: What ship would complement a Rattlesnake in level 4 missions

PyrodanteI dual box in missions. Recently do to a fit of sobriety I lost my Abby and so now need to replace it. My main missioner flies a Rattlesnake with good drone skills, a complement of 2 types of sentries, 1 set of heavy drones, and one set of light drones. She has become so versatile I wonder how ...

Q: The Support's Duel: Sona vs. Alistar

PifMeisterSo i just played a match, I'm usually AP mid but this has nothing to do with the question... The thing is, that bot AD was completely underfarmed, jungler had to help them a lot and me too. They said that Alistar was completly stopping AD farm, and that our Sona didn't help to much. So Alistar is...

 
@Ullallulloo I took about 3 days of to write the first one, this one was done in 4 hours, and that includes the time I was eating and just thinking about it.
 
@RonanForman That's because this one's largely the same idea.
And you had 3 or 4 people "helping" on the first one.
 
6:11 PM
@Ullallulloo 'spose. If anyone can write the first one so it's at least passable, then we'll use that.
 
@RonanForman It mostly just needs punctuation and capitalization and stuff.
 
What's this about a script?
 
Plus pirates because that ending's dumb.
 
I'm writing my script, and I've said if anyone can make the first one better then we'll use that one even if I don't like the concept
 
@RonanForman I don't think you need the shipwreck scene. I think the first scene should be people washing up on the beach.
 
6:15 PM
@GnomeSlice Really? Maybe.
 
Yeah, I think so.
 
I'll start editing after the draft is complete.
 
Maybe have some quick 'flash backs' from the crew back to the shipwreck.
Like, one-second flashes.
 
I like the chicken scene
 
Lol.
I dunno if I want to try and do the music for this any more.
 
6:18 PM
Actually I like that, the camera could be going between the wreckage, you could see the hull, it could go to a bit from the hull etc.
@GnomeSlice Why not?
 
Because it probably won't be very good if I do it.
 
gah, I bought Magicka. $3.33 left now.
 
@Ullallulloo I could never finish that game because it kept crashing. Now that it's been out a while it's probably more stable, though...
 
@StrixVaria Since it doesn't support the Steam Cloud, I probably won't play it until I get my computer fixed anyway.
But it's so cheap!
 
I haven't even been able to get Magicka to open.
 
6:23 PM
@GnomeSlice I couldn't get out of the first tutorial area because the game wasn't running properly. I haven't gone back to it since. x_x
 
@GnomeSlice I like your music.
 
Anyone know anything about these?
 
@GnomeSlice I already played that.
 
@Mana What music.
 
6:24 PM
@GnomeSlice They're very good.
@GnomeSlice I liked the 8-bit stuff you made a while ago.
 
@Mana That was like a 20 second fiddly chip thing.
 
user30
eeeek rooting my phone.
 
user30
never have I been so tense.
 
@GnomeSlice Agh, specify that link to 2.
 
@Mana This statement is truthful.
 
6:25 PM
@FallenAngelEyes 2?
 
@FallenAngelEyes It is...
 
@GnomeSlice I think she means make it "Neverwinter Nights 2 Weekend Sale."
 
@Ullallulloo His link text wasn't and I was excited :(
 
Too late.
 
user30
wooop.
 
6:26 PM
I could never beat the last level though.
 
Everybody kept dieing.
 
I'm still upset that BioWare won't put the legacy boards back up. -_- My cd keys were there.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Is that the one you were expecting?
 
And my physical copies are across the Atlantic.
@GnomeSlice One with 1, yeah. That's a pretty nice deal for both games+all expansions.
I wish I didn't have to buy the 1st game again. ;_;
 
6:29 PM
@GnomeSlice I played the first of these games, and then I think i bought the diamond edition and have yet to really gnaw on it at all, and that was years ago...
 
@FallenAngelEyes Hm... split it with someone?
 
solid series, though
 
@FallenAngelEyes If it's any consolation, I bought the original Starcraft and Diablo 2 ~3 times each...
 
I own two copies of Really Big Sky.
 
@Tristan yeah, I own at least 2 copies of SC1 and WC2
and I think 4 copies of Civ4
 
6:30 PM
@Tristan I own both StarCraft and Brood War but never bought them. I think a friend lent them to me and then we stopped being friends or something, but I can't be positive.
 
Also, I have Toki Tori for the Wii and now for PC, as well as a version of 'Rush' for the Wii and PC.
 
user30
oh fuck
 
@StrixVaria Haha I still have a friend's copy of StarCraft as well
 
user30
>:
 
user30
oh wait, I'm an idiot.
 
user30
6:31 PM
forgot to reboot it.
 
I think I have a borrowed copy of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 that I've had for years and never played.
 
@StrixVaria This has me scared of what I told @AshleyNunn I'd do for her. <.<
 
Damn, the NWN pack doesn't have the Infinite Dungeons mod :(
I loved that mod
 
My mom bought us two copies of Medieval II: Total War accidentally. Then we got the PC version of Assassin's Creed, but we couldn't use it because of the DRM so we bought the PS3 version. Then we bought two copies of Prince of Persia and Rise of Nations to get the expansions, and I bought a second copy of World of Goo because bundles.
 
user30
It's really weird for my phone to be making noises at me.
 
user30
6:32 PM
I always have it on silent
 
We also bought lots of copies of all the Pokemon games so everybody gets one and because we lost several.
 
@Ullallulloo I've paid for World of Goo like 4x now, haha.
 
user30
\o/ it works

Q: What must I do to get my tribute

MikeIt has been almost a game month since the Thieves Guild tribute chest restocked. In another question someone said it usually takes about a week. Do I have to do more jobs to trigger an event? I notice that Delvin still had some even though I became guild master

Q: Do you "sympathy upvote"?

ResorathI was going to post this on Meta Stackoverflow, until a quick search revealed several other discussions on the topic. However, since those are old posts with old views I was curious of how the community of g.se feels about it. Basically, what appears to be sympathy upvotes is on questions or...

 
Wii, regular PC version, Steam from Humble Bundle version, Steam for Humble Bundle version again
 
6:34 PM
@FallenAngelEyes I'm pretty sure if you buy a can of coke, on the side of the can is a code for a free copy of WoG.
(joking, just mean copies of that game are everywhere)
 
I don't know whether to get that NWN pack or not...
 
@GnomeSlice Okay the script is done, you can edit it now.
 
@agent86 Aww... I was about to go buy a coke. =(
 
I have the NWN 2 Collector's Edition, originally, and that one's just the regular, hrm.
 
@Tristan are you desperate for a copy of WoG? :P I think they were the "inspiration" for the humble indie bundle, given that before that we had the "pay what you want for WoG" sale
 
6:38 PM
@agent86 Not particularly. But if I could have gotten a game and a tasty beverage, then I'd be okay with it.
 
@RonanForman Why would I want to edit the script? I have no idea what it's about.
 
@GnomeSlice You could read it.
 
I did.
Not really what I meant.
 
Also that edit you mentioned for the start that I'm doing now.
 
@GnomeSlice The movie that we're making
It's a script.
 
6:40 PM
I think he more means that I suck at writing scripts.
 
No that's not what I meant at all...
I mean I don't really have any ideas or opinions invested in the script, I was more just waiting for you guys to sort it out.
What sort of music were you hoping for? Did you want me to try chiptune-ish stuff? Or what.
 
I don't think chiptune would work, but you could still write it as chiptune and then change the instuments.
 
That isn't really how it works.
 
Okay I'm happy with that script, we'll end up editing it as we go no doubt.
@GnomeSlice How does it work?
 
@RonanForman I wouldn't use the same software for chiptune, so I'd have to recompose it.
This is going to be hard.
 
6:45 PM
@GnomeSlice I see.
 
I've got the Roland MV-8800 to work with, but it seems fairly limited.
I've never been able to do much but drum beats with it.
Hm...
I wish my father had bought FL Studio when it was on sale.
 
It's only like 100 bucks right?
 
Well... no.
$200.
 
What's fruity edition?
 
Not sure. My dad says there's a $50 version of it that you can upgrade later.
 
6:49 PM
@GnomeSlice Also what restrictions are there on the demo?
 
@RonanForman You can't load saved projects.
So unless you can do your entire thing in one sitting, you can't finish it.
Hm... Fruity Edition looks interesting.
It doesn't have some of the plugins of the producer edition, but I don't think I'd need those jut yet anyway.
It doesn't support audio recording, though. Hm..
 
another magicka sale on steam, if you missed it previously
 
I wonder if I could get SE to buy it for me on the grounds that it's for "community promotion". Probably not.
 
@RonanForman Did you ever get SE to contribute to your HDD purchase?
 
Also, I finally managed to get my 3D animation working.
Ah dammit!
You need the signature bundle to get Sytrus...
That one is $300... =[
Not that I really know how to use sytrus...
 
6:56 PM
@StrixVaria No, partly because Grace wouldn't ask, but judging by the position they took on the logo I doubt it.
 
Yeah, me too.
 
Dungeon Defenders, why do you update so often? O.o
 
@Tristan just noticed that too haha
 
@RavenDreamer You might be interested in this. I have no idea how to use it yet, but it looks pretty powerful.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I feel like every time I start steam, either TF2 or Dungeon Defenders is updating.
 
7:07 PM
@Tristan One of the main reasons I uninstalled TF2.
 
@JasonBerkan You poor, poor hatless man. :(
 
Oh sweet, this has a built in Theramin!
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice That is pretty nifty
 
@Ullallulloo I cry myself to sleep at night.
 
Damn, this is actually really nice software.
 
7:12 PM
@GnomeSlice oooh theramin
 
I have no idea how to use a tracker though, and it looks like that's what this is based on.
 
user30
aweeeesome
 
user30
got ICS on my Desire Z.
 
user30
provided it gets past the boot screen
 
user30
sigh
 
user30
7:30 PM
c'mon.
 
@ThomasMcDonald Just being honest here, but... I don't know what any of that means.
 
user15026
@Tristan I don't either, to be honest. XD
 
@Tristan sigh should be self-explanatory.
 
@RonanForman Link to the script, again?
 
@GnomeSlice Do you have a google account?
 
user30
7:32 PM
ICS is Android 4.
 
user30
Desire Z is my phone.
 
@RonanForman Yes.
 
Check your docs page.
 
@ThomasMcDonald Oh. Gotcha.
 
user30
It hasn't been updated for the new Android, so I'm trying to flash it onto the phone.
 
user30
7:34 PM
To be honest I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
 
asfdjafaf;jfd TotalBiscuit got into the Guild Wars 2 beta @_________@
 
@RonanForman Oh, right.
 
@FallenAngelEyes can you beat this person up and steal their invite?
 
user30
 
user15026
@FallenAngelEyes Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?
 
7:35 PM
@GnomeSlice Any doc you've opened appears there.
 
user30
I shall leave my phone and see if it boots.
 
TB Can probably get into any beta he wants to open or closed
 
Who's TotalBiscuit?
 
@AshleyNunn A good thing, as apparently they're allowing recording
 
user15026
@Tristan That is my question. XD
 
user15026
7:37 PM
@FallenAngelEyes Nifty.
 
He is a popular internet nerd made famous by running WoWradio and generally being full of himself
 
Heh, the 2nd LoL episode is cut at a death too, let's see if we can keep this up.
 
he is the cynical brit
 
My brain just derailed into "OMG GW2 infooooooooooooooo asplode"
 
@FallenAngelEyes Brain explosions are bad...
 
7:39 PM
@Tristan And hard to clean up.
 
user30
\o/
 
This video is relevant to the topic of brains exploding.
 
user15026
@Tristan That is awesome, and made me laugh like a maniac.
 
@AshleyNunn Sadly, those Old Spice commercials are the only good things to come from Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim.
 
user30
oh duh. I forgot to install gapps
 
user30
7:45 PM
and then I have to restore my messages and contacts and stuff.
 
user30
and then I can get my laptop updated to the latest version of Lion so I can install Mountain Lion.
 
GW2 squeeeeeeee @_@
 
I already used the Mountain Lion soda joke.
 
@FallenAngelEyes haha, you're on GW2 like I'm on ME3

Q: Does Enduring Agony increases the damage of bleeding and poison?

ChrisHateZOk so i do know that Enduring Agony (finesse ability) increases the duration of poison and bleeding but does it increase its damage as well?

Q: How to hit Monster X?

Steven JeurisI've been stuck for quite a while in Cave Story+, fighting this boss. Judging from the name of the image, I'm guessing it's name is 'Monster X'. Since I'm playing on hard I don't really get the chance to 'explore' what I'm supposed to do, as every hit is an instant death. Any pointers on how ...

 
7:52 PM
if there's a console version like they say, I may play it
 
@agent86 you saw my "preorder ME3 from EA and get BF3 free" yesterday, right?
 
@FallenAngelEyes Gobbledygook Winterbottom 2?
 
@agent86 I have been waiting for this game for 5 years. There was radio silence on it until like, mid-2010.
 
Trying to raise attention to the site twitter.com/#!/IDemonus/status/170228410491207680
 
@badp Gumby Wax 2?
 
7:53 PM
I am trying to get the EvE tag to have more questions at http://gaming.stackexchange.com/ What will be some good questions to ask there #tweetfleet
 
@IanPugsley yeah, I'm xbox'in it, so I can't take advantage. Also, I'm hoping that I "get ME3 free" via some machinations here at the site :D
@FallenAngelEyes yay for games we want to play getting closer to release :D
 
@IanPugsley Whaaaaat
 
youtube.com/watch?v=LCl5uyn5K7k - now I know what the original source for every Garry's Mod video on youtube is
 
@agent86 I am stupid excited for this game. What they're looking to do to shake up the MMO genre looks just so promising. Aaaaaaahhhhhhh, I'm all exciteeeeeeeeeed.
 
@agent86 supposedly it's for consoles too (though you get BF3 specifically for PC)
 
7:55 PM
@FallenAngelEyes If they want to shake up the MMO genre, they can start by getting rid of DPS.
 
@FallenAngelEyes What are they changing?
@JasonBerkan Uh...what would they replace it with? Not damaging your enemies?
 
@StrixVaria There are other damage / healing systems that could be used, so that every MMO doesn't devolve into tank / healer / DPS FTW.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I'm getting excited now too, and I didn't even play the first one :D
 
@StrixVaria TPS (Tickles Per Second)
 
Okay, this is officially amazing software.
 
7:57 PM
@IanPugsley oh, hmm. I'd want BF3 for my console though :/
 
@JasonBerkan Anything that involves dealing damage to enemies can be broken down into a DPS calculation.
@OrigamiRobot I have no idea what this stands for.
 
@agent86 dooo iiit, join the dark side :)
 
@IanPugsley I have the world's crappiest PC :)
although I might be able to move some of my "gaming budget" into upgrading it if the current trend of gaming grants continues.
 
I wouldn't mind BF for console, if only to train for Dust514
