It's probably the Quicktime, it's basically a virus

user15026

@BenBrocka That is ridiculous and awesome all at one.

James

@BenBrocka Heh, Chrome gave me the drop down asking if Quick TIme could run, I told it no :)

Ben Brocka

@James same, I just ignore any requests for quicktime

GnomeSlice

Wow, if I set it up as a PROJECT it works.

Ktash

hmm, just got downvoted but I have no idea why...

Oak

@Ktash happens

GnomeSlice

What do you guys think? I put that together today, as a menu loop for @RavenDreamer's game.

Ullallulloo

@BenBrocka Oh my. I'd advise against typing gaming.stackexchange.com into there.

Raven Dreamer

Hm. I suddenly have 3 coupons for 50% off Heroes of Might and Magic VI in my steam inventory.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot I fully agree that if completion-time questions are deemed off topic, an umbrella q/a for them would be bad. But if they're on-topic, an umbrella can fit. It's not all that unlike having a single "Who can I romance in ME3?" question versus 30 "Can I romance Person X?" questions

Raven Dreamer

8:05 PM

Anyone thinking about picking up that game?

I can hook you up.

James

@GnomeSlice I can so hear a 'liquid' styled sound for the menus as compared to that clip I listedn to last night.. Will take a peek at that clip when I get home (if I remember) though :)

Tristan

@Ktash I know the feeling. That said, your question seems like a good enough question for the site. Especially since there's 1 definitive answer to it.

Raven Dreamer

@GnomeSlice Can't listen atm, 'cause I'm in class, but... Message recieved!

GnomeSlice

@RavenDreamer Funny thing, it's longer than the in-game loop.

Erg.

Ben Brocka

@Ullallulloo I tried that, it didn't work so well

GnomeSlice

8:06 PM

Also, do have good bass when you listen to it.

murgatroid99

I think I just saw one of the best uses of a lazer ever

Ben Brocka

@Sterno ehh, an umbrella Q that actually solves the problem of finding that info seems perfect

Raven Dreamer

@BenBrocka, @Sterno pastebin.com/i2cNVDp4

Ullallulloo

@BenBrocka Hm. It gives you different themes.

Sterno

@StrixVaria Wouldn't that make them dupes, rather than off-topic?

Tristan

8:07 PM

@murgatroid99 It's so out of tune my ears hurt...

Ktash

@Tristan Yeah. Less irritated by that one than the one in which I had to look up stuff from my old statistics courses lol

murgatroid99

@Tristan It sounded pretty good to me

Sterno

@RavenDreamer Are you trying to make me nerd rage? Because reading that is doing it.

Ben Brocka

@Sterno ServerFault wrote a catch-all licensing question (with the answer "no, we can't help you with licensing") and they close all licensing Qs as dupes of that Q

user15026

@Tristan That was my problem too! And the timing.

Tristan

8:09 PM

@murgatroid99 For what it is, it's okay. But from the perspective of someone who's played in a band, the timing and key are too far gone....

Raven Dreamer

@Sterno It made me rage. I want to give it to FAE.

But she's not available, presently.

murgatroid99

@Tristan Well I will admit that you probably know more about music than I do. But it's probably because it's trying to do two things at once, so it is doing neither perfectly

GnomeSlice

Someone downloaded it already? Oh, maybe that was @RavenDreamer.

Raven Dreamer

@GnomeSlice Nope.

In class. Can't listen to it.

GnomeSlice

Thought you might have downloaded it though, to listen to later.

Ullallulloo

8:11 PM

@RavenDreamer Headphones.

GnomeSlice

Newgrounds has a handy download link.

Raven Dreamer

@Ullallulloo Yea, except I don't have any with me.

Tristan

@murgatroid99 probably. Like I said, considering it's just a laser etching sheet metal, it succeeds very well.

murgatroid99

@Tristan Did you see the end product? I think it also looks pretty good for what it is

StrixVaria

@Sterno It can be both, and I prefer to close as off topic in that case.

Tristan

8:14 PM

@murgatroid99 I did see that. It was neat. =P

Tim Stone

> Zynga buys Draw Something maker OMGPOP, will soon own everyone and everything

Sterno

@StrixVaria My bad, I misread your original statement. You flat out said the umbrella was off topic too

GnomeSlice

@TimStone That happened a few days ago.

Sterno

@RavenDreamer What was the source of that pastebin?

StrixVaria

@TimStone NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO oh wait I don't actually care.

Tim Stone

8:16 PM

I was just amused by the title.

Ullallulloo

@TimStone :(

agent86

@TimStone the way I understand it, either you let Zynga buy you and give you a ton of money, or they just copy you and laugh while they cash the checks

Tristan

@agent86 Tiny Tower > Dream heights.

James

@TimStone assholes

Tim Stone

@agent86 Yeah... :/

GnomeSlice

8:21 PM

=[

Still no votes.

James

@Tristan Is Tiny Tower like Sim Tower?

tiddy

I've heard there are some similarities

Nothing like the carbon copy crap Zynga pulls though

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno That is different in that that one question can easily address all the individual questions. I love questions that do this. My issue is using this method to address problematic questions.

GnomeSlice

Ben Brocka

@tiddy speaking of, guess who bought Draw Something today!

YAYYYY it's gonna such so much

@James not really, but if you have an iPad, Yoot Tower is literally sim tower, from the original developers of it

tiddy

8:26 PM

My gf just txt'ed saying I should buy it

Q: Does Wheatley actually look for my dead body after an hour?

Near the beginning of the game, right before you find the single-portal gun, you fall down a shaft and into some water. Wheatley asks "Do you see it?" referring to the portal gun. Then he asks "Also, are you alive? That's important. I should've asked that first." (Transcript not exact). Then he...

tiddy

I wish they were EA Mobile, at least then the ME3 Datapad would be user friendly

Ben Brocka

it became huge mostly this last week it seems

Now that Zangya has a stake in it I'd rather not touch it now

James

@BenBrocka Haha, talk about full circle.. @TimStone just posted the article about that which is what brought up all this :)

Ben Brocka

8:27 PM

They're basically EA mobile

@James ah, I didn't read back that far

James

@BenBrocka Yeah, I am not so willing to touch it any more myself, and Iam currently on a 26game winning streak!

26round I mean

tiddy

I wish they were EA Mobile, at least then the ME3 Datapad would be user friendly

Tim Stone

I'm just happy Datapad has managed to keep me logged in.

Ben Brocka

ME datapad just sucks

user15026

Blergh speaking of Draw Something, apparently it takes approximately ten eternities for them to send you your password if you froget it :(

Ben Brocka

8:29 PM

they probably had like one dev make it in two days

tiddy

@TimStone exactly.

James

Speaking of which, if anyone wants to start up a game of draw something, let me know :)

Tim Stone

@tiddy It wasn't for a few days. Had to log in every single time I brought up the app. |:

user15026

@James me, if I ever get accesss again

James

@AshleyNunn yeah I have been trying to access my game from my iPad (i think it will be easier to draw) but apparently I do not remember my password

tiddy

8:30 PM

Oh I know. It was a pain

Ben Brocka

@TimStone hah, I would have deleted it so hard if it did that

user15026

@James they're andomly assigned, I think

Tristan

@James I've never played Sim Tower...

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka I need something to distract me during work.

James

@Tristan ah, was a fun game, I think I shall snag Yoot Tower :)

tiddy

8:30 PM

I really dont know why it needs to ping EA constantly. Just have it run as a game and upload to EA on completion

Tristan

@James I'll play DrawSomething with you. NihilistRonin

James

@AshleyNunn Ah, that would explain it

Ben Brocka

@Tristan philistine!

James

I bet its a fishing scam to get user passwords out of people as they attempt to guess them again

user15026

@James Got it to work :D I am araleith (I think)

James

8:31 PM

@Tristan Invite in a moment, its forcing me to update

Ben Brocka

@TimStone there's plenty of actual games for ipad too...

ones that don't take two minutes to accept a button press

"Start mission!" tap...tap tap....taptaptaptap

Tristan

@John If you don't get my latest Draw Something drawing, I will be very disappointed.

Wipqozn

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka I know...but easy Galactic Readiness. And I don't have any particular problems with the button presses on this end. The news piece is stupid though, since I have no idea what they're replying to on Twitter.

fbueckert

@BenBrocka Anything by Kairosoft is usually good for several days.

user15026

8:34 PM

@fbueckert THIS.

Ben Brocka

UNfortunately kairosoft only does phone games

they're annoying to play on ipad

I did buy gamedev story like the day it came out on android though

fbueckert

@BenBrocka Currently, yeah. If you know Japanese, though, you can play Game Dev Story 2 on PC. It's a free download.

Tristan

@AshleyNunn Too bad they're all so expensive. =(

James

Whoops, If you cant guess that @AshleyNunn its my fault

user15026

@Tristan Yeah, that is a downfall. Lowest I have ever seen as 2.99

user15026

8:37 PM

@James Haha no worries I will try my best

James

@Tristan and there is one for you, good luck (Sorry guys but my choices sucked.. I was -not- going to try drawing tupac!)

user15026

@James hahaha whyever not? XD

James

Cause I have NO idea what he looked like :D

I think my high point one for @Tristan was 'Flirt' so yeah, not going to try that one either.

user15026

@James I am not sure what this is XD

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn I never understood why we have such different standards for game pricing on different platforms. Anything over 0.99 for a mobile device/tablet is classified as expensive. Yet, we don't bat an eye at a $60 game for a regular console.

James

8:41 PM

Erg

I hate giving hints

I did kind of hit Done by mistake though :(

Wipqozn

@James Want some hints on how to do them?

user15026

@fbueckert Yeah, I basically apply the rule of "do I spend more on a coffee?" okay, if so, then I will buy the game

James

@Wipqozn Haha, Is this rhetorical? :)

Wipqozn

@James No, it's a hilarious joke. I'm a comedic genius.

user15026

@Jamess yeah, I really have no clue XD Is that a window? or a picture on the wall?

fbueckert

8:42 PM

I'm not saying we should have $60 tablet games, but depending on how we define game value, I'd say Kairosoft gives great value for the $5 they want.

StrixVaria

I'm going to have to use an iPad for work D:

James

Ok, Ill just say this.. The thing circled on the wall almost sounds like what is circled on the table.. But I meant to put a Sounds like by the thing on the wall, and only circle what was on the table :)

user15026

I totally got it now :D

James

Yeah sorry about that ;)

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria That's a shame.

Are they also going to force you to play an EA game?

user15026

8:44 PM

@James haha no worries. :)

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn I couldn't handle that.

Tristan

@RonanForman How can I tell if this .dll worked? <.<

StrixVaria

I'm going to try to get out of it.

Work on something else and let everyone else mess with the evil iPads.

user15026

@badp nifty

Tim Stone

8:48 PM

@badp I still maintain that showing the favicon with a text link would be the way to go. /blame Marc

StrixVaria

@badp What's the shortcut to get this fancy rendering?

[Gaming.SE] is just text.

badp

@StrixVaria link to the homepage

Q: Are your Guild Wars account keys tied to your E-Mail?

I owned Guild Wars and Guild Wars Factions back in the day, but I cannot for the life of me find either of the disks or CD-Keys. Are the keys tied to my E-mail account? So if I download the free trial and login with my E-mail will my keys be attached? Or am I totally screwed if I cannot find my k...
