Q: Why are all my possible conversation answers in red?

When i'm given the opportunity to choose a dialog, they all appear in red but when i choose the "nicer" of the 2 i get paragon points awarded. I only see red options, not blue or grey. What could be the cause of this?

Q: Guild Wars 2 beta invites percentage

So according to the NDA players are not allowed to talk whether they are in the Beta or not so my question is: does anyone have a rough estimate how many players are invited in the upcoming beta weekend (23 march till 25 march)?

Q: How long is BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception?

The CRPG Addict just finished playing BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception (1988, Developed by Westwood Associates, published by Infocom). Surprisingly, he finished it in 8 hours on his first playthrough, and demonstrated that it could be finished in about 2 hours with no combat. This does...

commodore-64 dos mechwarrior battletech

James

@FAE Hahah, You see why I have been complaining about that all day? :)

Grace Note

What colors do you start with?

James

I have 220 coins, Soooon I shall have Green at my fingertips!!! :)

Black Yellow Red and BLue

(And white by default/erasure)

Grace Note

23:27

...you have Yellow and Blue. Did you guys fail elementary school!?

James

Its not really fingerpaints

they dont mix

Ullallulloo

Kongregate now supports HTML5! \o/

James

would be -awesome- if they were though :)

murgatroid99

@GraceNote on RGB screens green!=yellow+blue

Wipqozn

@Lazers Oh my. That's all kinds of off-topic.

Fredy31

23:29

So are the "How long is" questions banned too?

Grace Note

@murgatroid99 Dun matter what light, it's drawings!

James

@Fredy31 Yeah I saw that.. I think we are just talking about it?

Fredy31

Yeah

James

@GraceNote You can not blend the colors in the game

Wipqozn

@Fredy31 No.

James

23:29

@GraceNote They write over each other.

Wipqozn

We're just discussing the questions at this point.

Grace Note

Don't overlap them, use them in concert

murgatroid99

@GraceNote It's still on a screen. Making light colors add together the way pigments do would be weird and complicated to program

James

@GraceNote I sooooo dno not have that much control

And now you are making it look like I am taking a long time to guess Cookie :)

Grace Note

@murgatroid99 Psh, don't rely on the game, use your own creativity.

James

23:30

@murgatroid99 Technically in light color, yellow + blue also == green

Raven Dreamer

... I just sneezed and fogged up my glasses.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

(allergies)

murgatroid99

@James yellow=red+green, so yellow+blue=white

James

Problem is there is no way to mix em, and I am not going to draw interweaving lines of yellow and blue to get it to kind of look green :P

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer Crying over a sneeze? My word. You're rather emotional.

Sterno

I'm having some serious analysis paralysis in trying to decide what game to play next.

Raven Dreamer

23:32

@Wipqozn Read the line under that.

James

@murgatroid99 Hmmm, I know that works in graphics... but if you have a blue filter and a green filter and shine a white light through it its green... but maybe filters are not a way to describe light mixture eh?? :)

@RavenDreamer Go for Laughter :)

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer Still don't think it's enough reason to cry.

murgatroid99

@James no because filters subtract light and screens add light

James

I love being the butt of a good joke, means I get to laugh as hard as I want :D

Wipqozn

Then again, I don't have any allergies, so I don't know what's it like.

Perhaps it's complete hell.

Raven Dreamer

23:33

@Wipqozn I wouldn't be actually crying. My eyes are just watering. Because of the allergies.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn It is.

James

@murgatroid99 Yeah yeah, additive vs subtractive that makes sense! (even if its not a word)

murgatroid99

@James pigments are also subtractive, which is why they act the same as filters

Raven Dreamer

@James And what about George Takei's Quattra?

Red, Green, Blue, and YELLOW!

Ian Pugsley

@RavenDreamer sure...your allergy to being sad, maybe

James

23:34

@murgatroid99 Yup, makes sense! :)

@RavenDreamer Dunno what that is :/

Ullallulloo

@murgatroid99 But they also mix, so it's not always the same.

LessPop_MoreFizz

So. Baldur's Gate for iPad.

Raven Dreamer

►

murgatroid99

@Ullallulloo I'm pretty sure they generally become the combined subtraction when mixed

Ullallulloo

@RavenDreamer That's the dumbest thing...

murgatroid99

23:36

@RavenDreamer If it shows colors I can't see on my RGB screen, how come I can see the colors?

Raven Dreamer

Most fish have better color vision than Humans.

Sterno

@LessPopMoreFizz Wait a minute. Does that mean instead of a PC remake?

James

@murgatroid99 I was just about to say that with an example.. But if you put a blue filter and a yellow filter together, does it really go black??? Is that blocking out all red green and blue??

Raven Dreamer

Humans suck at percieving color, all things considered.

Grace Note

Ben Brocka

23:37

the incendiary burst for incendiary ammo 6 is crazy over powered even on Insanity

Grace Note

Admittedly, that's a very dull, yellowish green, but it's still green!

Ullallulloo

@James Yes.

Sterno

@BenBrocka I didn't find it significantly different than the other level 6 power

Ben Brocka

@RavenDreamer for mammals we're doing pretty sweet on color vision

murgatroid99

@James The difference is that on RGB screens, yellow is made of red and green light, not pure yellow light

Ullallulloo

23:38

That's why I said they act differently.

Ben Brocka

@Sterno with the Geth pulse rifle it completely tears apart geth

Raven Dreamer

@BenBrocka Yeah, which means what, we're beating muskrats and monkeys?

James

@GraceNote Do that with your finger on a touch screen :)

Raven Dreamer

I'm not sure that's something to be proud of.

Ullallulloo

A perfect filter will produce black where a mix will produce a mix.

Wipqozn

23:39

This still needs 2 close votes:

James

Yeah yeah,, makes sense @murgatroid99 and @Ullallulloo

guild-wars guild-wars-2

Grace Note

@James Just kinda mesh it in together. Use your fingerprint rather than your whole fingertip

James

Hehe, all those years working with RRGGBB hex values and I just accepted it.. I should have paid more attention in art class, but you tend to not care when you find out your colorblind :)

Sterno

Man, BaldursGate.com has a pretty awful website design.

Ben Brocka

23:40

@RavenDreamer well sure birds beat us, but they're birds

no one cares what birds think

murgatroid99

@GraceNote I doubt the resolution of touch screens is that fine

Raven Dreamer

@BenBrocka <

Grace Note

@murgatroid99 Fingerprint!

Ullallulloo

@murgatroid99 Get the new iPad.

James

How to make @RonanForman take a while to guess your picture? Make it the last thing you draw (or draw attention to) in your picture :D

Raven Dreamer

23:40

@BenBrocka What's my username, again?

Ben Brocka

The new ipad's touch resolution is the same as the old one's

murgatroid99

@Ullallulloo Does it really have high resolution touch sensitivity?

Grace Note

@James I remember doing that in Pictionary and other variants, haha

Ben Brocka

@RavenDreamer I reiterate, no one cares what birds think

James

Damnit! And he still beat me to drawing the car.. I should have drawn the poop last :)

Ullallulloo

23:41

@murgatroid99 Oh, I don't know. Maybe not.

Raven Dreamer

@BenBrocka ;(

James

I still cant believe the company that made this got around $200m from Zynga for them

Gigili

Is this over?

Wipqozn

@Gigili Yes.

James

@Gigili Yeah, today is the 22nd

Wipqozn

23:44

> The first round will go from March 17 at 12:01 am until March 21st at 11:59 pm (UTC).

RedriderX

@RavenDreamer Whoa, what happened? Judging by your avatar you turned into anti-Mana or something.

Raven Dreamer

@RedriderX I blame allergies.

Gigili

Just finished downloading =|

Ben Brocka

@James I still can't believe Zynga actually bought them instead of just releasing a cheap copycat game

James

haha, I almost like @YiJiang's gravatar more than mine

RedriderX

23:46

@RavenDreamer Wow, I wish I had allergies that could make avatars like that.

Yi Jiang

@James :3

James

@BenBrocka When they buy someone its usually because the players are outside of their normal audience

I wonder if Zynga realizes we are outside of their normal market cause we avoid their games :D

Ben Brocka

True, but I'm still sure they could have spent like a few thousand on Drawville

copy 90% of the interface, spam your facebook feed, instant Zygna classic

James

@BenBrocka I just laugh that they got their biggest hit by ripping off a game in china :)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Sterno No. In addition as near as I can tell.
