« first day (604 days earlier)      last day (4439 days later) » 

12:03 AM
Slightly off-topic.. I saw an article that confirms Verizon will support the hotspot abilities of the iPad 3 from day 1, but it says its only for other apple devices. I can not find anywhere else that says that but I also can not find any where that any wifi device can connect to it.. Anyone in the know about that?
 
if it can support hotspot i dont see why non-apple devices wouldnt be able to connect to it
 
Yeah I am wanting to think that gamezone.com/products/ipad-3/news/… just messed up based on apple using their own devices as examples of what can be attached to it...
But that is something I would not want to find out after I had bought it :)
 
Oh hey, just realized that I hit 25 +5's. GUess I should get my last few shares.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm at 17, which is more than I thought I'd have at this point. 2 weeks left still!
 
hotspot on verizon costs extra though right?
 
12:07 AM
at the outset, I thought I'd do well to get to this level.
 
@agent86 Yeah, like I said, sufficiently not worried at this point that I'm content to just make sure I post enough links and coast.
 
Ipad w/ its CPU, iCloud, LTE + hotspot = good luck getting an hour of battery life lol
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm at 13 shares, I got lucky in that a couple of my former gaming organizations have been willing to let me link spam a bit.
 
@BrianColvin Report says its already included in the costs of the iPad data plans
 
hopefully it leads to more new active users. tiddy's an old friend from a previous organization, for instance.
 
12:09 AM
@BrianColvin If I get the 3 it will be the third one in the house.. Making them all use the same dataplan .. well just seems very very handy to me :)
 
shameless begging for votes on my own questions
 
@TylerShads you need votes? downvotes
next time maybe you should be more specific ;)
 
@TylerShads Could just be you have asked a question no one has an answer too yet.. but if that were the case I would imagine the question itself would get +s...
 
ooo, if i can come up with enough stuff, I'm very close to rank 4
 
12:13 AM
I wonder.. Do people only + a question when it has an answer they were looking for... Hmm
 
hell, my policy is usually, if its worth me answering, its worth an upvote
 
@BrianColvin Finally found the 'ask us a question' link from apple's webbie, Will get a definitive answer I hope :)
 
@James some people? Surely
 
AUGH. 14/15 shared.
 
@BenBrocka Well those people are derkas.
 
12:19 AM
@James Good luck getting something answered in a reasonable amount of time
 
@BrianColvin Ruby M is looking it up right now :)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz :O
 
1
Q: What are N7 Missions?

Fredy31I've read a few acheivements that required to play a couple of "N7 Missions" (Acheivements are Tourist and Explorer) What are they?

2
Q: Do the minor conflict decisions on the CItadel have any major impacts?

TylerShadsRunning around on the Citadel, I have noticed minor conflicts that arise where you can side with one of 2 people. After siding with them, I have noticed in the corner of the screen "War Asset Updated!" The question lies in that, are there any of these that have a major impact on the war asset...

1
Q: How do I remove 'heal scars'?

ZenoI accidentally enabled the 'heal scars' power which removed my scars. How can I remove this and get my scars back?

0
Q: Does the order of missions matter?

Ben BrockaDoes the order in which I complete missions have any effects, like blocking out other missions? Are there any general mission order rules I should follow, or specific exceptions? Should I always complete optional missions before Priority: missions?

 
IMMA GENERAL
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Gratz!!! :)
 
12:21 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz grats!
 
Sorry, I save my congratulations for Fleet Admirals
 
@MichaelMrozek 7 more +5's away.
And I've got a bunch sitting at +3/4
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz congrats...I'm still chasing you :)
I still hope to be one of the first 10 to get the top tier
 
I just need one more vote in order to get rank 3 ^^ thanks to all who have helped
 
12:25 AM
@BenBrocka I do not think First matters from the contest rules, you have to remain one of the top 10 in the category to get that category's reward.
 
@James Yup.
But being first is a point of PRIDE AND HONOR.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Truth :)
But no one will be able to get as much honor as @RavenDreamer already has ;)
 
Except for @RavenDreamer, for whom it is a mark of DUPLICITY and CHEATING.
 
LOL
 
@James what do you mean "one of the top 10"? is that in the rules somewhere and how does it define it?
 
12:26 AM
@BenBrocka If more people reach a tier than they have prizes, then it goes by top cumulative score.
 
>The maximum number of prizes that will be given out per level are as follows: 100 for Mission 3, 50 for Mission 4, 25 for Mission 5, and 10 for Mission 6. In the event that more than the maximum number of people complete a Mission, the prizes are awarded to those winners that have the highest combined score on their contest posts. The remaining completers are instead eligible to receive a prize for the next lower level they have completed, if any.
 
Those that don't make the cut bump down one.
 
Guess that means the contest can only have 185 winners
 
Not to ruin the suspense, but all 185 winners will be me
5
 
12:29 AM
Would be really said if a fleet admiral had to choose between the comic or the courier bag :)
 
@MichaelMrozek Oh good, then I only have to kill you and not 184 other people to secure my place
 
@BrianColvin No announced device limitation for tethering to an iPad 3
 
thats good was gonna say that would have been a lame move by apple
 
@BrianColvin Very very
 
@BenBrocka I'm sure there are more than 186 applicants.
 
12:34 AM
@GnomeSlice not that will get Admiral
 
I love Mass Effect 3.
 
@BenBrocka, I think you're wrong about Fortification. I posted an answer to that question as well.
 
@Fredy31 Mordin's replacement sucks.
 
Sorry. He died.
 
I am @MichaelMrozek
@Fredy31 On Suicide Mission?
Shame on you.
 
12:46 AM
Yup

Q: Mass Effect 3 - Genophage Cure, Extra dialog options when saving Mordin?

OsirisWhen trying to convince Mordin to lie to the Krogran about the Genophage (so he doesn't die ), I find that the dialog choices to convince him are blanked out. How do I unlock them? Do I require a certain paragon/renegade rating?

2
Q: Best way to unlock Krogan in multiplayer?

aslumIf I'm primarily interested in unlocking new weapons and classes, and assuming I've got 60k or so in credits, am I better off buying 12 Recruit packs for 5k each or 3 Veteran Packs or 1 Spectre pack? I'm sure once I have a lot of races and weapons unlocked for multiplayer, saving for the Spectre...

0
Q: Is it faster to walk backwards or roll backwards?

Ben BrockaI like to BIotic Charge and back up repeatedly to finish off weak enemies without wasting bullets. Pressing Run while moving back does a quick roll but has a slow recovery. Visually, I can't really tell which is faster. Do I back up faster if I just walk or is rolling faster?

3
Q: Where are all the fuel depots located?

TylerShadsIn my quest for acquiring everything in the galaxy and annoying the Reapers to death with my pinging, I'm noticing a big fuel deficit in the galaxies. I'm looking for a good reference list as to where I can refuel my ship and continue with my ultimate journey of using electronic sensors to pes...

 
@LessPopMoreFizz I'ma sysadmin, not a physicist!
And if its a vacuum, why do we hear things instead of being all silent-like similar to Firefly /nerdrage
 
@TylerShads And I'm a college dropout cartographer, what's your point?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz whoever said I had a point?
 
There, one iPad 3 erm.. New iPad ordered.
 
1:02 AM
@James just like New Super Mario bros. the naming scheme is idiotic genius!
 
@TylerShads I read your question title as "Major benefits to saving the galaxy?" and was confused as to why it needed clarified :)
 
@DaveMcClelland hilarious
 
1
Q: Where does James come from?

Fredy31James just struck me when I started the game with him? Who is he? Where does he come from? Why is he, all of a sudden, in my crew? Bottom-line: WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY?

1
Q: Name of the song in Purgatory?

Fredy31I could stay for hours in the purgatory bar in the citadel just to listen to the music. What's the name of that song, so I can put it on my iPod; on repeat.

Q: How do I buy Mass Effect 3 DLC on PC?

ChristiNow I may be missing something obvious, but there is Day 1 DLC for Mass Effect 3 on PC, and I can't see any way of easily buying it. Despite the latest Origin update which claims to allow the purchase of DLC from within Origin, it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere in there. Ideally I'd like to...

Q: Major benefits to scanning the galaxy?

TylerShadsWhile continuing my quest for Reaper annoyance dominance by pinging, I found that I can get cool stuff on planets by scanning! Is there any major benefit for avoiding my main goal and taking the time to pick up this trash valuable resources or am I perfectly fine to go on my merry way of ping-do...

 
@Lazers @James There's something you should be able to answer.
 
1:19 AM
@Ullallulloo lolololololololololololol
 
@Ullallulloo ROFL.. Um, I originally came from Central NY :D
 
The Adventure Of PHYSICS
@James Where in CNY?
(I went to school in Utica, and did a bit of a nomadic thing between Albany and Buffalo for a while.)
 
Game arrived today :)
 
@tiddy Yay!
 
1:26 AM
Congrats on 5 btw
 
Whoo previous NY residents! Rochester representin'
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ah, bit of a ways away but not too bad :)
 
@James Aaah, cuse-ish.
@DaveMcClelland Current NY resident too! Just downstate.
 
Yup, between there and Auburn :)
I now live in Cali.. I just really dislike being cold, hehe
 
Dinosaur BBQ is opening in Brooklyn. I'm so haaaappppyyyyy
 
1:27 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oooh I hateses you!!!!
I get their sauces shipped to me every other month
People on the west coast have NO idea how to do BBQ
I hear they are opening one in Vegas too I think??
 
Im in South Carolina. BBQ is pretty much religion down here
Well
 
@James No idea about that. The one in Harlem is just so inconvenient.
 
It's super religious
in general
 
@tiddy My biggest gripe out here is people like their BBQ sweet
I am a Smokey BBQ person
 
yeah no
same
 
1:28 AM
Ido not want candy'd beef thank you very much!
 
Now, some good smokey bbq with sweet potatoes is a different story
 
@tiddy dinosaurbarbque.com/store/products.aspx?cat=1 Try their sauce some time, let me know what ya think :)
 
I think our Firehouse might have this...
 
Every time I visit my folks, regardless of the weather/time of year, I stand outside the original shop in Syracuse and wait for a table :)
 
Manger is from NY
Manager*
 
1:30 AM
Nice :)
 
I was raised and went to school in PA
Didn't get the whole BBQ thing until about 5 years ago
When I moved south
 
Alrighty, my indentured servitude is done for this week, time to go home and play with legos :)
Cya all later!
 
Uh so wow
Since when did they start double slotting DVDs in cases?
Not even a barrier
 
@tiddy they did that with 2 as well

Q: How do I scroll through messages at my private terminal?

Dave McClellandWhen browsing my messages, there's a big arrow near the bottom that I can only assume is letting me know that there are more messages off the bottom of the list. When I press down arrow, however, it only makes the "invalid action" sound. Is there something I'm missing, or is that arrow not indi...

Q: If you increase galactic readiness using multiplayer, can you still get the "worst" ending to Mass Effect 3?

ChristiSo in Mass Effect 3, progress in the multiplayer campaign carries over to your single player game. However, does having played a lot of multiplayer prevent you from seeing some "bad" endings you might otherwise see if your readiness is lower?

 
1:51 AM
I guess they only need to work once
 
@tiddy boooyah, welcome to me3 country.
 
indeed. tf2 time
I can't start it this late.
Ill never sleep. Tomorrow morning it is!
 
Hmm. Is there a list anywhere of which systems have anything to scan for?
Once I find even one item in a cluster, I can figure out the rest based on percentages.
But some clusters seem to have nothing at all and there's no way to know it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz this one ben's been posting: computerandvideogames.com/339171/…
 
Ninja'ed, argh!
 
1:56 AM
@TimStone I am TEN ninjas.
 
At least you aren't a Phantom. Those things are annoying.
 
..why would this game give me an Atlus to play around in evil grin
 
Oh nifty, I qualify for a prize now if I can share some links.
@TylerShads Ah, the one that's all shiny and new and unattended? :D
 
@agent86 Incomplete already.
@TylerShads Atlas.
It is a big machine inspired by a Titan, not a japanese game company.
 
Can't it be both?
 
2:02 AM
@TimStone No, because people spelling it with a U annoys the fuck out of me.
 
I accept this reasoning.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I annoy the fuck out of everyone, your argument is invalid
 
That reminds me, I really need to buy an Atlus.
 
@Wipqozn is it made by Atlus software?
 
0
A: How can I be a better soldier?

GnomeSliceThis is not the only way to deal damage as a knight. The charge up attack doesn't even do any extra damage, I don't think, it's merely there to give you the 'lunge' that comes with it. You can use that against builders or unguarded knights to avoid taking damage, because you can attack from far...

@John Sorry for missing that. Three months ago. Argh.
 
2:04 AM
@TylerShads Never heard of them, or do you mean Atlas Software?
@GnomeSlice How rude.
Also, on a Shadow of the Colossus note, I always feel like a huge dick whenever I kill one of them.
 
fuck, biotic kids, front lines or support?
 
@Wipqozn Working as intended.
 
Do you like the biotic kids?
 
@TylerShads Do they have Jack to lead them? If so, clearly front lines.
 
Well, I bought 'Out there Somewhere' and now it works.
Desura is the shit.
 
2:09 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz aye, shes there
 
1
Q: When can I quick save?

ResorathMy key bindings tell me that F5 is "Quick Save". However, I press it after defeating a tough enemy in combat and nothing happens. No UI element tells me it saved. I experimented and tried a F9 quick load, and it took me back to my last auto save. When can I quick save?

1
Q: Where's the iron?

John the GreenOrigamiRobot and I are playing through the Sea of Flame II, and we can't find any iron. We got about 15 from the rotten caves, but that's not nearly enough. Where can we find more iron?

0
Q: How long is Mass Effect 3?

johnjonHow many hours does it typically take to play through the single-player campaign of Mass Effect 3 from start to finish? How many hours does completing all the side quests tack on to that? Thanks in advance.

 
Oh man. This game is going to be amazing.
 
The Blasto preview on the Presidium is amazing.
 
Told ya
 
Badassfully, I will henceforth prepend all my statements with Badassfully.
Yeah.... Sheaprd just got called an "Anthropocentric bag of dicks". By a random NPC. I'm not sure how someone thinks he can just 'avoid the people that use foul language.'
 
2:24 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's Liara's Father, derp
 
@TylerShads Yes, I know.
 
Which I find Asari 'fathers' hilarious
 
This game is awesome.
 
While I actually feel that the environments in Mass Effect 2 felt more substantial, the dialogue in 3 is just great.
high-fives @Mana
 
@TimStone high-fives
 
2:29 AM
(we're apparently tied in the weekly rep leagues)
 
@TimStone I'm personally enamored with the map in this one.
 
@TimStone Because I typed one lazy answer on an SC2 question :(
 
Mass Effect 2 just seemed bigger, I think because there were more non-hostile areas that you could just walk around exploring.
 
ARGH
OKAY
OKAY BRIDGE YOU WIN.
 
2:30 AM
@Mana Wat.
 
I'M CLEANING UP MY HARD DRIVE AND INSTALLING ALL THE MASS EFFECT GAMES.
 
YES
DO IT
DO IT NOW
 
@Mana No :(
 
@Mana doooo ITTT
 
Seriously this game is amazing.
 
2:33 AM
@GnomeSlice Platformer?
 
@StrixVaria Yes.
 
It looks a lot like Cave Story/Metroid.
 
@Mana Baddassfully, GOOBA GOBBA GOOBA GOBBA ONE OF US. ONE OF US. WE ACCEPT YOU ONE OF US.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...How did I miss this? :D
 
Exploration style platformer with puzzle elements.
 
2:34 AM
@TimStone It's amazing.
 
Not my kind of game.
 
You have a teleport gun, that warps you to wherever it hits a wall, and you have to use it to get around.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz hahaha
 
@GnomeSlice Hmm, will take a look
 
@TimStone There's a demo.
 
2:35 AM
@Mana SpoilerS: Stuff happens.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice It looks kinda cool, but it would probably frustrate me.
 
@Wipqozn and it has a mass effect on stuff
 
@AshleyNunn So far, it's not too bad.
 
user15026
I started playing Metroid today. OMG that game. So......so..... ARGH. Frustrating.
 
@AshleyNunn Which one?
 
2:36 AM
The only Metroid game I ever played that I didn't hate was Metroid Prime.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice The first one
 
user15026
It makes me crazy
 
@AshleyNunn just play zero mission, same basic story and much less frustrating
 
That explore-y platform-y shooter-y type game is just not for me.
 
2:37 AM
I love the Metroid Prime games.
@StrixVaria That's what Metroid Prime was.
 
user15026
@TylerShads Yeah but it is GBA is it not?
 
I didn't love Metroid Prime, but it was better than the 2d ones.
 
@AshleyNunn yes sir
 
So far, I can't actually attack anything, I just have to avoid them.
And it seems mostly linear.
 
I really didn't like Cave Story at all.
I didn't get very far in it because it was very bad at giving me a sense of direction or making me want to explore.
 
user15026
2:38 AM
@TylerShads Probably won't, then - can't really be bothered.
 
I thought Cave Story was great, even though I got the silly ending.
> Ha ha! You look ridiculous!
I kept the bunny mask on.
 
@StrixVaria You used to be one of the cool people on The Bridge.
 
The problem was I didn't know where to go, and the enemies respawned the instant I left the screen.
I wasn't rewarded for killing them.
But I had to do it over and over.
 
Somebody gives no fucks about his friends:
 
It was stupid.
 
2:39 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I also liked the video about EDI repelling a Cerberus attempt to retake Normandy after Mass Effect 2 by uploading five zetabytes of porn to their servers...to which Shepard questions "Five zetabytes?!" and EDI replies "Most of it was Jeff's"
 
@TimStone She also reprimands him that some of his collection is illegal in citadel space in ME2
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, but you got upgrade stuff.

Q: Who is Tarquin?

Dave McClellandAfter curing the Genophage on Tuchanka, I was talking to James and he said "Too bad about Tarquin, I was just starting to like him." Is this a misinterpretation of name or someone who I have forgotten entirely?

 
^ SCIENCE! ^
 
2:40 AM
@GnomeSlice Only up to a point, but then it capped.
 
@StrixVaria Did you ever get the machine gun?
It let you fly.
 
@GnomeSlice I got extremely not-far.
 
Made it a hell of a lot easier to get around.
 
I was in the room with all the giant eggs when I gave up.
 
@StrixVaria Ah.
That's not very far.
What sort of game DO you like?
 
2:41 AM
I like being able to grind.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Love it in a sadistic way
 
So a lot of RPGs.
 
@LessPop "Slumber would prove difficult given the energetic nature of our copulation."
Oh god.
 
For the most part I prefer multiplayer games.
 
2:42 AM
@Mana Are you sleeping with the Walrus?
 
@Mana Blasto rules.
 
@StrixVaria Metal Drift!
 
I'm trying to think of my favorite single player games that aren't RPGs.
 
It's multiplayer AND has Grinding.
 
Half-Life stands out among them.
 
2:42 AM
@GnomeSlice Why you gotta hate on @Mana's girlfriend like that?
Jerk.
 
LOL.
 
Looking at gameplay for Metal Drift right now.
 
@StrixVaria It's shooty. But as you play and level up you unlock more and more stuff you can use
 
Okay that killed me. Damn it Keith.
 
@Mana SHUT UP ALEX.
 
2:43 AM
@GnomeSlice I don't want to hear about your se- oh, wait, you're talking about MEtal Drift.
Man, that Bryan guy is so handsome.
 
@Wipqozn ......................................................
 
@GnomeSlice Oh Michael, you silly boy.
 
Oh no. Does @GnomeSlice have the same name as me? :(
 
@Wipqozn You spelled it wrong you cockgobbler.
If you're going to creep me, get it right.
 
@GnomeSlice you what
 
2:44 AM
Is Metal Drift free?
 
@Mana you spelled it wrong
 
@StrixVaria If your name is Michael, then yes, and I'm sorry.
 
@GnomeSlice ......
 
@StrixVaria Unfortunately, no. It was $2 around Christmas, but it's back up to around $10.
 
@Wipqozn D:
 
2:45 AM
But it's so much fun.
Had an almost full game just a while ago.
 
I usually go by Mike, but it is technically Michael...
I reinstalled L4D2 recently because I wanted to kill zombies.
It's not as much fun with bots though.
And people online are just as stupid as ever.
 
@StrixVaria Well, the PC players seem better than the 360 players.
I had L4D1 on 360, but played L4D2 on PC. The player base was considerably better.
 
@StrixVaria You might like King Arthur's Gold.
However, people online are pretty stupid.
Also, it's free. Ish.
Think Terraria with teams of like 15 playing CTF. It's still in development, but it's great.
As long as you don't try to play builder, you shouldn't really notice the stupidity
 
I never liked Source Forts as much as I wanted to because people built stupid crap instead of real defensible bases.
Metal Drift looks cool but I can't really justify spending money on it.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, that's the main thing.
@StrixVaria It's SO MUCH FUN. I'll pay for half if you play with me.
 
2:50 AM
I can't imagine how you would pay for half of it.
I don't have or plan to get a Paypal account.
 
@StrixVaria Paypal? Ah... rats.
Also, I've only got $3.98 anyway
 
@GnomeSlice I thought you were going to stop spending money on games?
 
@Wipqozn I need to get rid of this last bit and then it will be easier.
 
Watching a King Arthur's Gold gameplay video.
WTF Is... by TotalBiscuit.
 
@StrixVaria The videos don't really do it justice.
 
2:51 AM
TotalBiscuit usually does a good job.
 
Is it up to date?
It's still being updated regularly.
 
Nov 7, 2011
 
Seige machines and Zombie forts were just added. Since then.
 
He's not doing a good job of this, though.
 
@StrixVaria You have to play it, games are pretty huge.
 
2:54 AM
you're pretty huge
 
That's what your girlfriend said.
HAH.
 
@GnomeSlice NOT! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwait.
 
Ask her.
 
@GnomeSlice how am I supposed to respond to this. how.
 
Hah.
Okay, this is rapidly getting really difficult.
@Mana y u no introduce me
 
2:58 AM
@Mana shoudl respond with this video.
 
@GnomeSlice You've already talked to her like twice
 
@GnomeSlice That's what he said.
 
@StrixVaria If you want to check it out, I'm good for a game. It can take a little while to get used to, and the tutorials are trash.
@Mana Yeah I thought it was you.
 
@GnomeSlice you thought @mana was a girl?
 
@GnomeSlice so you know what she's like then
 
2:59 AM
That's pretty funny.
 
@Mana No.
I don't remember which times were you and which were her.
 
@GnomeSlice That means she is like him.
 
@GnomeSlice exactly, because we're very similar in personality.
