4:00 PM
So nobody wants to add me then?
:(
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz absolutely
I loved the soundtrack (not the score, but that's not bad) to that movie
 
@RonanForman Add you as what?
 
@Wipqozn On origin.
 
@RonanForman lolololol
Origin
 
21 mins ago, by Ronan Forman
Okay, my username is Nanor_131. Feel free to add me.
 
4:01 PM
shades
 
@IanPugsley So yeah, I'm kind of amazed that she agreed to do a song for a movie in which one of the most hatable characters is based on her.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm not that surprised, they probably paid okay
and the similarities aren't obvious enough that people not familiar with the graphic novels would notice
 
@IanPugsley It's not just a visual reference is the problem.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz she might be grumpy about it now (that someone has told her) but she probably didn't know then
@RonanForman "No results were found for Nanor_131"
 
@IanPugsley She knew, as far as I am aware.
 
4:06 PM
@IanPugsley Interesting.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz hmm, that is surprising then :)
 
@IanPugsley Yep. Like I said, I was surprised.
 
Money is Money
 
@TimStone Happy. Pleased.
 
4:12 PM
Yes.
 
@TimStone man, I went home last night and I got so chuffed I chuffed all over the chofa.
 
So who's free and wants to be in a video?
 
@RonanForman people aren't even home from work yet where you live! Give us a couple hours :P
 
2 people are playing ME3.

Q: Can i edit the readiness rating without playing multiplayer in Mass Effect 3?

Havoc10KI do not trust Origin one bit, I bought the game, but I don't trust Origin at all, so I only play games on it with offline mode and disabled internet (unplugged). So I would like to either edit or find a way to up the readiness without multiplayer, I seriously don't want to play MP.

Q: What determines how much XP I get for extra Medi-Gel?

FallenAngelEyesWhen picking up Medi-Gel when you're full, you get XP (rather than credits, like in ME2). What determines how much XP I get? I've received anywhere from 100XP to 300XP for a pack during the same mission without any rhyme or reason to what is causing the discrepancy. Is there any relation to my m...

 
4:16 PM
@RonanForman well they're definitely not available then :P
 
@badp I could use your formatting skills.
 
@RavenDreamer What's your origin name?
Also @IanPugsley I've sent you a request.
 
@RonanForman Fulrit
 
Do we still have a tf2 server running?
 
4:24 PM
@authenticgeek I think so, but no one plays on it
 
@RonanForman We should do some KAG some time.
 
the problem with as TF2 server is no one wants to play on an empty server
but it can never get unempty since no one wants to play there
@GnomeSlice Didn't I schedule it for next time?
 
@Wipqozn Then how does anyone ever play ever?
 
@Wipqozn Next week?
 
4:27 PM
Does it get listed on the steam server list for random play?
 
March 24: King Arthur's Gold
March 25: Dungeon Defenders
@StrixVaria No one ever does.
 
@Wipqozn Ooh, dungeon defenders, I was thinking of getting that.
 
@RonanForman Yeah, someone suggested it and I know we have a few people on here who play.
 
@RonanForman Fun game
 
I've never played Dungeon Defenders
 
4:28 PM
Is dungeon defenders a persistent thing?
 
Hmmm. Only a tenner. Tempting.
 
Or a quick thing?
 
@James Make sure to join us on the 25th then
 
Been meaning to. I have it.
 
@Wipqozn Will do.. Any level restrictions or the like?
 
4:29 PM
Just so you know, you don't need to own ME3 to help me with this recording...
 
@James Wasn't planing on anything.
KEep in mind I don't own it.
 
@Wipqozn hehe, I think a few leveling runs will likely happen then :)
 
I believe levels make quite a difference in that game. Maybe we should make people start with a new character. Or at least have a low level one.
 
@RonanForman They do
It's an "endgame" type of game
need to get to max for the loot grind for the best weapons, the most mana, and best armor
 
@RonanForman Yeah, that might be a good idea.
 
4:31 PM
@FallenAngelEyes Aye, level 1 to .. I think it was 80 took maybe.. an hour?
 
@Wipqozn It's more in your best interest to level as quickly as possible and really start on stuff after
@James If you do Insane Glitterhelm solo, yeah
 
@FallenAngelEyes I see I see
Well, we'll just need to find out who shows up.
 
for a safer route you can go Hard Ramparts, but it's slower
 
If everyone has high level characters, won't be a large concern.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I think I just do it on hard :)
Only youtube video I have up though is leveling on Deeper Well with a level 34 squire to level a level 0 Monk
Swear I had a Glitterhelm video.
 
4:35 PM
@James That's only level 12 though in one run, you can do much better for Hard Ramparts, even duo
 
@FallenAngelEyes I just level in Glitter.. that was before I had access to it :)
Hmm, maybe Ill have to try that barbarian out :)
 
Oh that is such BS Bioware. I want to do the romance with Allers, to make my Shep a pimp (Ashley, Miranda, Allers \m/) but I'm also going for minimal casualties by choices (as in, only required deaths and nothing more, even saving all of the Normandy crew) but a certain someone dies if you don't romance them BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
Apparently meta keeps track of consecutive days too, separately from the main site.
And I've visited the meta on 58 consecutive days.
That's a lot, for me not even doing it on purpose.
 
Oh well, no mass effect for me, back to borderlands.
 
@TylerShads ...c'mon man :(
leaving chat, later all
 
4:44 PM
Thanks @StrixVaria
 
Yeah, definitely will have to give the barbarian a try :D
 
Yup.
 
@Sterno Ouch
 
Do you want me to serial up vote you to undo that?
 
The funny part is the 5 votes that came in after that are all pretty close and probably going to get corrected too :P
 
4:54 PM
@FallenAngelEyes Impressive.
 
On the plus side, even with that I'm only 2 points from today's rep cap!
 
You kids and your serial up voting.
 
@Wipqozn Cereal upvoting.
 
Mmm, Cookie Crisp
 
Zeus damn it @Sterno. Now I want cookies.
 
4:56 PM
@Wipqozn Isn't it "Me want cookie crisp!" ??
 
@James Never.
I mean
 
@Wipqozn I've got it worse. Now I've somehow got the "Honeycombs big... yeah yeah yeah!" song in my head.
 
never
@Sterno don't know what you are talking about
 
Golden Grahams for life!
 
@Wipqozn Now I just feel old.
 
4:57 PM
...wtf did I just watch?
 
@Wipqozn lol
It was the 80s. An innocent time! Things were different then!
 
@OrigamiRobot Imagine me and you and you and me?
 
@James I can't imagine anything. I am a robot.
 
@OrigamiRobot Theorize me and you and you and me?
 
5:01 PM
Hahaha
 
Did anyone who got ME3 via the grant already receive the reimbursment?
 
Hey @Fabian wanna be in a video?
 
@RonanForman I usually avoid any publicity ;-)

Q: How does the damage bonus of Tactical Cloak work with automatic weapons?

FabianThe Tactical Cloak power of the Quarian Infiltrator not only allows one to become invisible, but also provides a significant damage bonus: I'm wondering now on which attacks the damage bonus when breaking cloak is applied. If I start firing with an assault rifle out of cloak does only the very...

 
5:13 PM
@Fabian Booo!
Not even your voice?
 
@Fabian I haven't received one yet. The one for the last grant seemed to take about 10 days
 
@Sterno Thanks, was just wondering because I got a very quick first reply when I sent my receipt.
 
Oops, make that 12 days
 
I forget, are we supposed to flag not-an-answers as spam?
 
@John No
Unless it is spam
> asjdfhasjdfhlksadfj
is spam
> THanks!
is not
 
5:25 PM
@Wipqozn What about
> do not work!!!!! iiiiiiiii still need help please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!‌​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
?
 
not an answer
 
Good. That's what I flagged it as.
 
Should probably be converted to a less stupid comment
 
holy crap -185 answer quality score?
that's maybe a new record.
 
5:27 PM
@Wipqozn I thought spam was only for blatant and unnecessary self-promotion
 
@agent86 Really? Where?
 
@murgatroid99 It can also be used on completely contentless posts.
6 spam / offensive flags will auto-delete messages
badp made a post about it before
 
@Wipqozn The description for flagging as spam says "This question is effectively an advertisement with no disclosure. It is not useful or relevant, but promotional."
 
2
Q: Is flagging "obviously unsalvageble, contentless" posts as spam appropriate?

WipqoznUPDATE: Upon reflecting on what fail badp and Nick T said, I agree that the spam flag should not be used in the situation I outlined, or a similar one. For although I personally feel the answer had no place as both a comment and an answer - my problem lies more with the tone in which the statemen...

 
Spam flags carry a -100 rep penalty, so you shouldn't use them lightly, and certainly not for posts that just misunderstand how SE works (e.g. Thanks in an answer)
 
5:29 PM
@Fabian I'm not saying you should, in case you are misunderstanding.
 
badp said to use offensive flags, not spam flags
 
I'm saying that:
> asdasdasd3
 
@Wipqozn I just wanted to clarify that, as nobody had mentioned the rep penalty yet
 
@Wipqozn offensive, remember?
 
oh my, it turns out they are different flag reasons
oh I'm thinking of chat flags which are spam / offensive in one flag
 
5:30 PM
I've used spam flags for completely random characters in posts, that is someone intentionally abusing the system (or a cat walking on the keyboard, but that is rare enough), so I consider them justified
 
@Wipqozn it seems to me that Not A Real Question/Answer should be a sufficient flag for posts like that
 
@murgatroid99 IT is, but mods shouldn't need to waste their time on them.
And as @Fabian said, it's someone just trying to abuse the system
or a cat on a keyboard, but that's rare I'd say.
 
@Wipqozn OK I get why we use offensive flags for posts like that, but it still feels off when the posts don't meet the flag descriptions
 
@murgatroid99 :P
IT's really just a matter of the system having evolved within the community, but not being updated to reflect that.
 
badp likes things flagged as spam when they're just gibberish, I don't much care one way or the other
 
5:35 PM
@agent86 I think in that case we should use offensive instead of spam to give at least some semblance of conforming to the flag system
 
> This question contains content that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech.
3 mins ago, by Wipqozn
And as @Fabian said, it's someone just trying to abuse the system
note the word "abuse"
I'd say it fits
 
@balpha to the rescue!
 
if it's a legit (but misguided) attempt to contribute content, I wouldn't flag it as spam
 
@balpha OK that makes sense. I was paying more attention to the offensive/hate speech parts.
 
I just earned a badge on SO for a question I asked a year and a half ago. Hooray!
 
5:36 PM
if it's just noise, I'm more inclined to think flagging as spam is a good idea.
 
@agent86 But the description @balpha posted is for offensive
 
In the end it doesn't matter all that much, deleting obvious nonsense is one of the quickest actions a mod can make. The borderline stuff is what consumes the moderator time.
 
@murgatroid99 BUUUUUUUUUURN
 
Abusive words != Abusing a system
 
@James We're not talking about that
> asdasdkasjdaskd
 
5:37 PM
@James Right, this is why I wasn't reading the description like that
 
is abusing the system
 
@Wipqozn @balpha is/was
 
@James No he didn't.
He was referencing this message
7 mins ago, by Fabian
I've used spam flags for completely random characters in posts, that is someone intentionally abusing the system (or a cat walking on the keyboard, but that is rare enough), so I consider them justified
 
@Wipqozn He quoted hate speech, offensive and abusive along with your wording of abuse of the system to tie them together.. And I am saying that tie together isnt the same, those are both the word abuse but one is over a person the other is of the technical capabilities of the environment.
 
@James He quoted the flag reason for offensive flags.
i.e. ("Not welcome in our community")
 
5:39 PM
I also think you're making waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much of this topic :)
 
@balpha This as well :)
However its more fun than reading XML dumps of different file types
 
Yeah, we should all be busy playing ME3 so that we can take away all the TVs SE owns later
 
@balpha You mean the effort I put in assembling an expert panel of linguists, moderators, and policy makers to carefully analyse this issue is all for naught?!
 
@TimStone Who is this Naught person anyways? Seems to be getting quite a bit of attention from many different areas.
 
@TimStone Not necessarily; every minute spent beating a dead horse is one less minute spent beating a living kitten

5:43 PM
Gotta keep 'em tender.
 
spam flag? not an answer flag? cocks shotgun I'll mod 'em all.
 
REAPER LAZER ALL THE THINGS!
 
@balpha Why are only dead horses given attention?
 
I've been playing too much ME3..I swear I heard our dispatcher at work tell someoen to get to the "Cerberus Headquarters" o.o
 
5:48 PM
Also, Scumbag OC ReMix, waiting until 27k facebook likes to release album.
 
I've got the votes for the ME3 badge. Just need to answer one more question somewhere!
 
@Sterno I'll ask one!
 
Stupid OCD desire to collect pointless badges
 
"Who needs on more answer for the ME3 contest?"
 
Hmm, I've got the opposite problem. I must not be including enough shiny pictures in my answers.
 
5:51 PM
Yeah!
I know this one!
 
oh, I have an actual question perhaps
 
@TimStone Pictures, bullet points, and freehand circles ftw!
 
assuming it hasn't already been asked
 
At this rate, raven and LP will end up with silver ME3 badges by the end of this :)
they're already well on their way. I think I'm in solid third place with half the votes needed
 
doesn't look like it was asked...
 
5:53 PM
@Sterno I'm ashamed, clearly I've learned nothing from my Meta experience.
 
On the plus side, I should hopefully soon be able to do capture from my Xbox...
 
anyone remember this gem? ohh the fun we had.
 
@agent86 Are you busy? I really want to play ME3 now.
 
@rlemon Heck yeah! Gorilla ftw!
 
5:57 PM
Actually anyone who plays mass effect Looks at @Sterno
 
Soul Blazer was such a sweet game. tried to play it again recently on an emulator and it just wasn't the same. I was so much more patient with my games back then. I didn't mind painfully slow cinematics and cut scenes I couldn't skip. Now a days If I can't skip the talking or cut scenes I almost dont want to play.
 
@Sterno That looks sort of like Actraiser 2. Although, I'm probably way off.
 
IF you know the answer, knock yourself out.
lolol and then FAE swoops in for the kill
 
@Wipqozn I assume you wont mind being spoiled in ME3...
Check out our community's YouTube channel for trailers and game play streams! http://www.youtube.com/user/GamingSE
Interesting...
 
@Wipqozn Isnt that a @GnomeSlice type of question? :)
 
6:03 PM
@RonanForman Not even sure if I'm going to buy it, but if I do, I'm planning to play through ME1/2 again first. Just want to know if I play through as a female if I can important the save as a male.
@James IF joking: oh you kids; If serious: Not at all.
 
I more meant do you want to do this recording with me?
 
@RonanForman What recording..?
I don't have me3
I can't do any recordings
 
The Mass Effect LP I was talking about where other people comment on it with me while I'm playing...
 
oh, I see
 
I've mentioned it quite a bit.
 
6:04 PM
I haven't been around much the past few days
been busy with schoolwork
 
Muzak makes me angry
 
@Wipqozn Are you busy now?
 
@Wipqozn You kids and your schoolwork.
 
@RonanForman For the moment.
So what are you doing exactly @RonanForman?
I haven't really heard much talk about it until now.
 
Have you ever seen spoiler warning?
 
6:07 PM
Nope

Q: Is multiplayer wave objective preset or random?

BlemI just started playing multiplayer and I have been playing some Any Enemy, Any Location, Bronze challenge quick matches and I'm wondering if the wave objective type is preset or random? As far as I can tell wave 3, 6 and 10 always have some objective; hack a system, Kill some important targets o...

Q: On mass effect 3 multiplayer does your teams total level effect the amount of Exp gained?

mike1987Does your teams level affect the amount of experience gained from a match on multiplayer in Mass Effect 3? For example, If three people were significantly lower level than the fourth person, would there be any Exp or Credit penalty for anyone? The reason I ask this is because it is the case in ...

Q: Can I change the gender of an imported character?

WipqoznIf I played through the first two games as male, can I switch my imported characters gender to a female, and vice versa?

Q: Who is Kai Leng?

ZenoWho exactly is Kai Leng? What is his motivation to help The Illusive Man, and why? I feel left in the dark after completing the game about this new character.

 
Well basically there's one guy playing and a group of people (including him) comment on the game while he's playing.
 
He's playing through ME3 and getting other people to talk about it while he plays through so people don't get bored with just him.
 
As you may know, I'm not the most interesting/talkative person.
 
@Ullallulloo ah, I see. THank you @Ullallulloo.
@RonanForman: So you would stream the video online, and we would all be like "yo dawg, comment comment"?
 
6:10 PM
@RonanForman That could be interesting.
 
and then you would upload it to youtube?
 
@RonanForman You criticized me for being non-talkative.
 
@Wipqozn I'm bored atm. :P
 
@OrigamiRobot I didn't say I was the least either.
@Wipqozn Pretty much
 
Well, I think it would be fun, but I probably wouldn't want to do the full 30+ hours.
 
6:11 PM
@RonanForman sadly, I'm at work at the moment. Otherwise I'd be on my xbox.
hmm, LA Noire's on sale. that's a solid game.
 
So anyone up for it? You'll need to add me on skype (nanor_131)
 
@RonanForman I'd be up for doing some of it with you, but I probably wouldn't do the whole game.
 
@Wipqozn I'm not expecting that.
 
Okay, good.
 
@RonanForman What @Wipqozn said, except I have no Skype.
 
6:13 PM
Now let us see if I can remember my skype info...
actually, I'll just make a whole new account
 
@John So you can see what I'm doing
 
@RonanForman FINE ILL JUST TALK LIKE THIS!
 
@RonanForman Ooh right. That might help.
 
@OrigamiRobot FINE! DO THAT
 
@RonanForman ONLY TO YOU THOUGH AND NO PUNCTUATION EITHER
 
6:15 PM
@OrigamiRobot OKAY GOT IT
 
EXCEPT EXCLAMATION POINTS

Take that GraphJam!
 
ITSAJOKE.jpg
 
6:17 PM
No one ever said it was an all inclusive graph.
 
and then skype won't log me in
and just gets stuck at "Signing in"
 
Booo
 
there we go
 
@agent86 graphjam is serious business
 
so who else is planning to do some of this LP jazz with @RonanForman?
 
6:22 PM
LPing sounds fun. Probably shouldn't do it at work though
 
@FallenAngelEyes upstaging me with her fancy extra details and nicer sentencing, pssh. ;) +1
 
They seem concerned when I start talking to my computer
 
@Wipqozn I am considering it, but I fear that the overlap between the time I could do it and the time @RonanForman is awake would be slim.
 
heh, just noticed this on my desktop:
 
@TimStone Haha, sorry! I spent my 2nd ME1 and 2 playthroughs simultaneously playing while listening to the audiobooks.
 
6:26 PM
@Wipqozn You...screenshotted that?
 
@John yes.
Your sorrow gives me power.
 
@Wipqozn Awesome.
@Wipqozn Not so awesome.
 
@Wipqozn Vampire pony?
 
@RonanForman yes.
A Pampire.
 
What if my computer can't handle video streaming on skype and recording at the same time? I didn't think of that.
 
6:28 PM
@balpha Well, @badp gets quite mad and starts declining flags if we use the wrong reasons.
 
@RonanForman Plus actually running the game?
 
this is what pro commander shepard looks like.
 
@Ullallulloo That too.
 
@agent86 GraphJam jokes are usually poor.
 
inb4 @RonanForman breaks his computer.
 
6:29 PM
I see you have your community under a tight grip, @badp.
The company approves; your life shall be spared.
 
I could use livestream instead maybe.
 
@balpha badp has a tight grip on something?
 
@balpha I would follow @badp to the ends of the Earth!
 
@balpha We'd be running around like chickens with our head cut off if it wasn't for that @badp fellow.
 
6:34 PM
@FallenAngelEyes Ah, nice!

Q: Does N7 level in multiplayer do anything?

BlemDoes the N7 level in multiplayer do anything; like unlocking features or effecting placements for games, or is it just an indicator of how much multiplayer the person have played?

 
Someone downvoted the pro-ITG answer again.
 
@StrixVaria just remove your down vote
problem solved
 
@Wipqozn I can't unless it's edited.
 
Well we're still winning, so I don't care.
 
6:40 PM
@RonanForman Are you anti-ITG now?
I never really saw you participate either way before.
 
LMFAO
The Ustream of the Double Fine kickstarter just went 'Hey you guys are live on the internet' "We are!?" {absolute silence}
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I...what... blinks
 
6:56 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't believe you.
 
@Wipqozn Totally wouldn't hit that.
Now, 20 years ago? Maybe.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz you are a dirty puppet.
