I would have tought of something concerning the mothership too
So yeah, @RonanForman was thinking of making a let's play of my own
I never did beat Super Mario 64
 
@Fredy31 What kind of LP?
 
Like you're doing with ME3, with co-hosts an stuff
 
@Fredy31 Cool, I'll explain how I do it if you want.
 
12:58 PM
Yeah that would be great
 
@Fredy31 Well, that would at least imply lazers ;-)
 
How about AskMothership?
 
Could be good, but I think it could be too close to ask.com
 
Board the Gaming Flagship and get your questions answered (you'll also get to burn spammers with huge lazers).

@Fabian You might also get the opportunity to spell lasers right.

Somebody rebuilt Wing Commander using the Freespace 2 Engine.
Holy shit.

@LessPop_MoreFizz heh
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz lol
 
Until Reddit gets subpeona'd for the IP history associated with the accounts they've been using to post about it over there that is.
 
1:49 PM
It is sad that even if you're willing to put in the herculean work to rescue IP from a company's graveyard and bringing it back to the modern day and age, effectively doing free work for their IP, you still can't.
And that's under the theory of the protection of said IP.
Where those who have custody of it don't use it.
Does that make it legal? No it doesn't. It's still sad.
 
Bring back FireFly!
 
@badp Except that Squeenix does use the Chrono Trigger IP. Extensively.
They're reissued the title a good 4 or 5 times, and added new content to several of those reissues.
So that argument doesn't hold water.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Wikipedia says the only CT title released post 2001 is Chrono Cross for the PSN.
 
@badp Not sequels. Reissues.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, there's a "show" button by the release date that shows it's not just Chrono Cross that's been reissued
@LessPop_MoreFizz I guess I stand corrected then.
 
1:54 PM
@badp Chrono Trigger has been reissued for the PS1, Virtual Console, iOS, Nintendo DS, and whatever Sony's download nonsense these days is
Squeenix is absolutely using and making money from the IP
Now Chrono Cross, has not seen a similar amount of re-release love, but tbqh, Chrono Cross sucked anyway, so who cares?
On an unrelated note, thanks Dreamhost for informing me that the recurring payment on my domain was tied to an expired credit card only four hours before the time at which you had scheduled to cut off my account and suspend it over the issue. That made it real easy for me to deal with in a timely manner.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz eh, I checked the Wikipedia article for Chrono Trigger, went to the bottom for the list of videogames, looked at the release dates at noticed Cross was the only one that had a reissue date in the box at the top left.
except it was really the only article where reissue dates weren't hidden by default, since there was just one.
Hence my error.
 
@badp Yeah, no worries, it happens.
 
Also today might just be the day I end up buying Just Cause 2.
or tomorrow.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I kind of liked chrono cross, although it's a very odd game
 
Based on what goes on sale today and/or tomorrow.
 
1:59 PM
@badp it's a solid game, one of the better open world/sanbox games, imho
 
@agent86 The main problem is I'd buy it now to play it in a few months
because it runs at a solid 5 fps on this machine.
 
one of maybe a half dozen games on my xbox I've 100%'ed
@badp blargh :(
 
I would've considered getting it from OnPlay, but I'd have to pay much more with an US credit card.
 
(The answer is a lot of things. In fact there are very few things I would give in order to commute to work on one of those.)

Q: What are skins and how do I get them?

yx.I've been reading up on League of Legends stuff, and there seems to be a lot of people clamoring for this skin or the other on their forums.

Q: Can I see Tali's face?

fredleyWhen I finished the mission on Rannoch, Tali took off her mask, but I didn't get to see. Is there any way I can see her face?

 
@badp I also wouldn't steal any beiber music
 
@TylerShads At least you weren't here for the 4, bleak, desolate, soul crushing hours, in which @Jin totally screwed up and took away our lazers because he is a jerk and incompetent and hates us and is mean and stupid and is a destroyer of fun and also doesn't know how to tell time.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz there are still some lazers missing
the top tabs, they shot lazers and now they dont =[
 
@TylerShads I know. :(
Also, I seem to remember that I was promised META-LAZERS.
(Where by 'promised' I mean I demanded them and my demand was not explicitly refused, thereby creating a BINDING VERBAL CONTRACT.)

Why did subway have to close?!
 
Oh man, more math drama.
 
@RonanForman Pardon?
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh really?
 
@Wipqozn The subway down my road closed a while back, and I really want a subway.
I'd have to go into town for one now.
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, there was a flag and I looked at the transcript and it makes no sense but it looks like there is fighting.
 
Jin
2:20 PM
@RonanForman yes I do
@LessPop_MoreFizz don't you know? i hate fun. un-fun all the things!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't honestly understand their distaste for oneboxes, but at the end of the day, their room, their rules.
 
@RonanForman Because no one would agree how to spell them.
 
Perhaps it doesn't play well with Chatjax? I have no idea.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz In the comments somewhere he said that he was using some random person's unsecured network, but that could have been a joke.
 
@badp Their chat faq on the Meta say that oneboxes are large compared to plain text messages
So it might push up text messages and force people to scroll up to read them. Or at least that's what I think they're trying to get at
 
2:30 PM
@YiJiang So they endorse chatjax which allows inline formulas?
or, probably, the $$ foo $$ syntax that puts formulas in their own line?
 
@badp Dunno. Whatever works for them I suppose
 
@YiJiang Yeah, that's my reasoning.
 
@Jin What's your name on it?
 
Jin
@RonanForman jzy
but to be honest, i'm a bit drawn out..

@badp ty ty. i'll be here all week.
 
@Jin You're that good eh?
You don't have to return the drawing if you don't want to.
 
Jin
@RonanForman oh i'll play ya. just want to warn you that i may not play as often
i can't draw well on Draw Something, but i don't think you need to draw well really. the point is about getting an idea across
speaking of Draw Something... reddit.com/r/funny/comments/raujv/…
 
user15026
@Wipqozn After some testing - the Circle Pad Pro automatically accepts the right trigger button on the circle pad pro as shooting input - you don't even have to change a setting. It doesn't seem to work with the left trigger, though, as far as I can tell. The second Circle Pad is kinda awkward for right handed person (so says my wife), but she says if you are used to playing lot of xbox FPS, you should be fine.
 
It's funny to watch people guess and see the exact point that it clicks.
 
Jin

Speaking of Firefly, Notch is making a Firefly game.
 
2:45 PM
@RonanForman not exactly. He wants it to have the same feel as firefly.
 
Firefly inspired game
 
Which I assume just means space-western
I just have this small glimmer of hope that after Avengers drops, Whedon will have a shit ton of disposable cash in order to buy the Firefly rights and do something awesome with it.

@YiJiang it was called Wing Commander: Privateer

@BenBrocka You got beaten by Lazers. For shame!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Unfortunately I'm not the best person to talk to about this, but I'll ask around - I know there are two microbreweries around (The Olde Mecklenburg and Rock Bottom) but I imagine you're looking for sekerets
 
@BenBrocka What if they were referring to the name of the ship, and not the movie?
 
should I be backing FTL? it seemed interesting, but I missed the onlive preview

Q: How do you just with yoshi and use iron fist?

buddyHow do you just with yoshimitsu? in training they don't tell you how to do it in details And how do you use iron fist? is iron fist random?

I believe that is two unrelated questions in one, but I'm not sure.
I'd rather not edit it out and instruct him to ask a new question If I'm uncertain.
 
3:52 PM
So the spreadsheet I created for one of the ME3 answers is getting a lot of traffic from other sources I think, and I want to link people back to gaming.SE

@murgatroid99 So people were just asking for the competition.
 
@RonanForman Personally, I kind of ran out of questions when I beat it a couple of days ago
 
4:04 PM
Just cause I don't get to play as much.
 
@RonanForman People probably were asking for the competition, and now we have asked most of the questions about ME3, so it's hard to think of more
 
@RonanForman I tried guessing your drawing in DrawSomething but it just gets stuck on a loading screen. =\

The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT) is a U.S.-based environmental movement that calls for all people to abstain from reproduction to cause the gradual voluntary extinction of humankind. VHEMT supports human extinction primarily because, in the group's view, it would prevent environmental degradation. The group states that a decrease in the human population would prevent a significant amount of man-made human suffering. The extinctions of non-human species and the scarcity of resources required by humans are frequently cited by the group as evidence of the harm caused by human ...

A: Is there a way to get water into the nether?

xavierthecreatorif you just bring some cobblestone and buckets of water, make a 3x3 square one block deep and place the water in a plus shape (4 buckets of water) if you take from the middle it a never ending water source.

Has nothing to do with the Nether.
 
@John I don't understand your complaint.
Sounds like a good way to get an unlimited water source in the nether.
 
@Wipqozn You can't dump buckets of water in the Nether.
 
In fact, I just up voted that.
 
They just fizzle.
 
6:26 PM
Oh, never mind then.
 
Oh it's deleted. That was fast.
 
@mana: I thought we weren't deleting answers that were an answer to a different question?
I think we should, but I thought a recent meta was in favour of not deleting them.
 
@Wipqozn Hence the whole pretense of this question: you can't get water in the Nether by normal means.
 
@mana: Relevant meta:

Q: Flagging "answers" that answer a completely different question

Nick TI flagged this answer (10k only) about Minecraft on a question about Minicraft (I think I explicitly mentioned this in the type-in field, as well as in a comment on the post) and it was declined with the reason flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies, or an altogether wron...

 
> However, in practice, I think we can all agree these answers add nothing to the site and could be safely removed in the interest of making the Internet a Better Place. So maybe we need to start removing answers in cases where it's obvious the answerer misunderstood the question completely.
 
6:28 PM
Oh, no. @oak seems to agree they can be removed as low quality.
@Mana Yeah, I forgot about that.
 
Here's another subjective one:

Q: Why does Evelynn have so much negativity comments

TaktaktarukenI don't understand why she has so much negative comments about her. I read she was nerfed cause of a combo she had with an item and then she was considered OP. But for me, I never seen that combo, I been playing her for about 1 week, and I don't see why she has so much hate towards other summoner...

 
Yeah, now I remember. I disagreed with oak's reasoning, just not his conclusion.
Since as far as I'm concerned answering the wrong question means it's not an answer, just noise.
 
I feel bad for all these people who just don't get our site.
Does this make sense?

A: Who can I safely kill with the Ebony Blade?

johnuse dead thrall repeatedly one person

 
@John That's what we get for asking people from outside the community to come to our site and ask questions quickly
 
@John No.
@murgatroid99 Pretty much.
I would be all like "I blame @mana", but she seems a little too busy right now cleaning up all this crap to deal with me trolling him.
 
6:31 PM
And my close votes aren't much help because I don't understand many of the LoL questions anyway
 
Borderline spam?

A: Does your drawing partner see trashed drawings?

EduardYes, it is just like a movie to watch the other drawing :) Also nice to look at other drawings Draw something drawings

 
@John He's trying to say that you can use Dead Thrall to repeatedly kill the same person who trusts you (to power up the blade) instead of 10 distinct people. I have no idea if that's true, though.
 
@John I was wondering the same thing when I seen it earlier.
 
@TimStone Ooooh. I don't play Skyrim, so, care to edit it?
 
I think you could safely edit out the spammish part.
 
6:34 PM
@Wipqozn I agree. The link is irrelevant to the answer
 
@murgatroid99 Removed.
 
If I were to only play one of the following, any suggestions on which to pick?
Final Fantasy 8, 9, or 10
?
 
@RavenDreamer I've heard that 8's the best of those, but I've only played 10.
 
@RavenDreamer 9 is more "classic" FF, 10 is pretty solid "next gen" FF
8's weird, and if I had to pick just one of those 3, I'd probably not pick it
 
@RavenDreamer 4 and 6.
 
6:37 PM
Well, the sum total of my FF experience is FF Tactics Advance, and Crystal Chronicles.
 
@John Edited, at least. Still not sure if it'd actually work without testing, but I'll let other people figure that one out.
 
@RavenDreamer you'd probably have a decent time with either 9 or 10
 
@TimStone Fair enough. Nicely done.
 
@RavenDreamer 4 and 6
 
@Wipqozn You're failing at Reading Comprehension, aren't ya?
 
6:38 PM
let me change that "or" to an and
 
Wow, I never knew Facebook's TOS forbade all users from using the words Face, Poke, Book and Wall.
 
@Raven I had fun with 10. It was my first RPG (yeah, I know. Late to the game)
 
@RavenDreamer No, I'm just telling you the correct answer.
 
As long as you don't play 10-2 you're fine
 
So then I just used them all in one sentence. Take that Facepoke Bookwall!
 
6:38 PM
@Ktash But what if I really want to see those skimpy costumes!
 
IT's like when someone asks "How do I do x?" and you tell them "You shouldn't do X, it would be better to do Y"
 
@Wipqozn Then shouldn't you be recommending Jquery?
 
@Wipqozn I do that all the time. It's so annoying.

@RavenDreamer Download the pictures (and the videos of them changing). The plot for 10-2 actually ruins 10.
 
@ArdaXi Seriously? Wow. A similar thing was just discovered in SE's ToS, too.
 
6:39 PM
@RavenDreamer Fine. Use jQuery while playing FF 4 and 6.
 
@Ktash I was... but. O.o
 
@RavenDreamer Have you been reading the Many Memes of Meta?
 
Bwah?
 
@John We're not allowed to use the words Stack or Reputation or Exchange either?
 
@John Not recently.
 
6:40 PM
@ArdaXi We can, but we can't edit other people's posts, use fake names, or post low quality content.
 
Oh, yeah, that, I saw that.
 
@RavenDreamer I meant the MSO version. jQuery is big over there.
 
@RavenDreamer Seriously. I like the ending of 10. Then 10-2 goes and "fixes" it... >:(
 
@John My answer is the same.
 
@RavenDreamer Ok. Just checking.
 
6:42 PM
@Mana I think it has a lot to do with the communities being promoted to, tbqh. There are many things to recommend about the MOBA player base, but their extensive command of the english language has never been one of them.

@Ktash I liked it's ending. D:
 
Like, we had a lot of bad skyrim q's and a's, but I don't think they needed editing anywhere near as consistently as the suggested edits queue is telling me that these do.

You're late.
But, no surprise there.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz also, I feel like asking them to post now for the contest makes them disinclined to read the FAQ

@Ktash I love that picture
 
@Ullallulloo Really? I felt it ruined the ending of 10 by changing it's meaning
 
@Ktash So you've been reading MSO's Memes! I knew someone had. I could feel it...
 
@Ktash Not really.
 
@John Haha, not really. You mentioned it (and jQuery) so I had to post the picture ;)

Q: How do game cheat codes work?

SquallThere are many cheat device names, such as gameshark, gamegenie, action replay and codebreaker, and I do not know the difference of them. I wonder how do cheat codes work. What do they do with the game memory? Examples of Final Fantasy VII (PS1) gameshark codes: 1. Change Cloud's strength: 3009...

 
@Ktash @RavenDreamer mentioned jQuery first! Blame him! >.>
 
@Ktash lol
 
@Ullallulloo I felt it did. It's been a long time since I played either but I remember being upset about it.
 
@Ktash The related questions are amazing
This guy really wanted us to know where he came from:

Q: When is the best time to take down a tower if you're winning in your lane?

Robert AntonioniWhen is the best time to take down a tower in your lane if you're winning the lane? GGClassic

 
@GamingnotonGaming I swear to god if this gets migrated....
 
6:50 PM
@murgatroid99 Someone should be saying "Add GGClassic to your 'about me' " instead of "in your questions"
 
@murgatroid99 Judging by the source, #GGClassic, I'd guess it was a misguided attempt at (hash)tagging.
 
@John Yeah, I noticed that in the edit after I said that.
