gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/53370/… it's funny because he's advertising on stack exchange by asking the question
 
@disinter Not found.
 
oh... how do you post a question in the chat type of deal
oh good it's gone
 
@disinter Just post the question's URL.
 
except mine had already been fixed
it's good to see it gone
 
user15026
@disinter Haha, yeah. Also, he was posting in unrelated WoW stuff.
 
3:03 AM
2 slang : a middle-aged woman seeking a romantic relationship with a younger man
does not give the etymology of the slang form though
 
@NickT So, that one would imply sex more than MILF, I would think.
MILF essentially = hot momma.
 
um..."romantic" is a lot more ambiguous than "I'd like to fuck".
 
Hm... I suppose.
But she's actively looking for it.
Whereas with a MILF, you're more or less window-shopping.
 
hrm, I suppose
 
user15026
Guys, just because @Gnomeslice posts a picture of a woman doesn't make it offensive.
 
3:06 AM
@AshleyNunn Haven't you heard?
Everyone hates women. That's why they are so offensive.
 
you could construe the use of the word Cougar as offensive... if your as dramatic about it as tumblr
 
OH GOD WOMAN FLAG IT
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I must've missed that memo. Think I was sick that day.
 
@disinter ...........
Some ladies just go on the prowl. How is that offensive.
 
3:07 AM
Samus is a classy lady.
 
IT's not
 
@RavenDreamer This x 1000
 
I then realize that I have nothing to base that statement on.
 
@RavenDreamer Who cares.
 
tumblr is just a filled with people who want to start shit over nothing
 
3:07 AM
How's that different from here?
oh, we're gaming themed.
 
@disinter tumblr the internet is just a filled with people who want to start shit over nothing
 
@GnomeSlice I was making a complaint about tumblr, not a complaint about your use of "Cougar".
 
statement still stands
 
If there were three video game girls I would nail the shit out of, it would be Samus Aran, Elena (Vanquish), and Leixia. In that order. But preferably all at once.
 
@RavenDreamer too true. But I joined a tumblr ring with a bunch of homestuck artist and the amount of drama and butthurt in there is just on a completely different level.
 
3:10 AM
@GnomeSlice no Lara Croft?
 
"EXPLODING COMPUTERS ARE MY TRIGGER! HUSSIE HOW COULD YOU! #add-trigger-warnings-to-homestuck
 
@NickT Ah... hmm...
That's a good point you bring up.
What's unique about her though?
And don't say 'bust size'.
 
rich
and english
 
Oh, true....
Okay, yeah, throw Lara in there.
After Elena, before Leixia.
Leixia is the one I probably wouldn't want to have to see again after the act. I want to punch her in the face, she's so annoying.
 
It seems that half the time I come in here the topic is ladies and breasts...
 
3:13 AM
@Ktash Half the time you come in here, @GnomeSlice is in here.
 
@StrixVaria Haha, fair point
 
Hey, we're having a mature discussion here.
 
user15026
Man, after seeing various bits of the game Heavy Rain (because my wife is playing it right now) makes me never want to play it. It would give me nightmares forever.
 
@GnomeSlice You just listed the video game vixens you would like to have sex with, in descending order
 
@AshleyNunn All I know about it is that it won Gamespot's 'most disturbing moment' award last year or something, for the scene where you have to cut off your own finger.
@Ktash Don't you agree?
 
3:15 AM
... also, you left out Miranda Lawson, and given the pending release date, that just won't fly
 
I don't even know who that is.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I happened to catch that bit. I was hiding behind my hands and peeking, because I wanted to watch it to see what happened but at the same time it was freaking me out XD
 
Here we go, Cougar vs MILF.
(I'm fighting Ivy).
This is disgusting. I need to delete this character.
 
@Ktash That won't even load, is it a massive image?
 
3:20 AM
@GnomeSlice Larger than what would be typically found on the web, but it's only ~130kb...
 
@StrixVaria Does Elysium only get female character styles?
@Ktash Well, it 'aint working.
 
@GnomeSlice Link works fine for me... hold on I'll find the original link
better?
 
Yep.
Okay, that's not bad at all. But what does she have that others don't?
 
@RavenDreamer 90% of what she does is shoot alien species in the face. I'm not sure if that's "classy", but I do respect and approve of it
actually that's 50% of what she does, 40% is backtracking
 
An Australian accent. And a real life counterpart
 
3:24 AM
@GnomeSlice Yes.
 
@Ktash So does Lara Croft.
And she's loaded.
 
@Ktash samus has a voice now?!
 
And has bigger tits. Not that that's necessarily a good thing.
@BenBrocka Yeah, have you never played Metroid: The Other M?
 
@BenBrocka Haha, Miranda, not samus lol
 
I mean, aside from the occasional grunt
 
3:25 AM
It's narrated by Samus.
 
No, just the Primes and Super Metroid actually
 
But yes, @GnomeSlice is correct, they did give her a voice in other M I think
 
huh
 
They did.
 
Always figured she was sort of like Gordon Freeman
Dangerous, mute lunatic
 
3:26 AM
Real life version of Miranda
 
@Ktash Lara's looks more like her.
 
What?
 
@Ktash Also, this
@Ktash Actually yeah, that's pretty close.
 
user15026
@Ktash What's her name?
 
Well it should. She is very literally modeled after her lol
 
3:28 AM
 
@AshleyNunn Yvonne Strahovski
 
@AshleyNunn Says it in the URL.
 
user15026
@Ktash looks her up in IMDb Oh, she's from Chuck. I watched that show for a short while.
 
@GnomeSlice Now, we both know that doesn't count
 
Tomb Raider was such a ridiculous movie.
@Ktash Why not?
 
3:30 AM
@AshleyNunn Yes, she is. I love Chuck. But I haven't seen the last season yet...
 
In one scene, they're zooming through the arctic on a dogsled, and Angelina has her coat open. I wonder what the reason behind that was.
 
@GnomeSlice Because it was a ridiculous movie... also, that is just Angelina Jolie. Lara Croft != Angelina Jolie
 
@Ktash She looks an awful lot like her.
 
@AshleyNunn If you got out before season 3, all the better for you.
 
They've based subsequent versions of the character on Angelina.
Here's one for you:
 
3:31 AM
Not new Lara though (which makes me a little happy)
 
user15026
@Ktash I watched it some when I lived with my parents, but then I moved out and we don't have cable, so I sorta forgot about it.
 
Neither of those are based on the other, either.
One is Samus Aran, and one is... someone you probably shouldn't Google at work.
 
@GnomeSlice I'm guessing that is a cropped picture ;)
 
@Ktash I think so. Roberta Murgo is a model. She does a lot of nudes.
 
So @GnomeSlice here is my argument for why we can't count Angelina as Lara... If we do that, we must say that Jake Gyllenhaal is similar to the Prince of Persia. And I just can't do that.
 
user15026
3:36 AM
@GnomeSlice She's rather pretty. I like the necklace-thing? she is wearing.
 
@Ktash Why?
Lara has been based on Angelina since the first movie.
 
Because the Prince in the subsequent game was made to look like Jake
 
user15026
OMG. They finally put "Legion" on Netflix. It is hands down one of the WORST movies I have ever seen.
 
So, by that logic, Jake Gyllenhall is the Prince of Persia shudders violently
 
3:38 AM
 
user15026
@Ktash Oh, that is just...not cool. On an epic level.
 
(Vanquish) Elena has like the highest IQ, ever. And she looks like that.
 
@GnomeSlice Samus is blonde. That model... isn't.
 
@AshleyNunn I know :(
 
They really like making her scenes in the cinematics really ridiculous:
lololololol
She's essentially my dream girl.
 
3:41 AM
Hmm, women being exploited for sex in video games? That's just unheard of!
 
@RavenDreamer Based on this bit of artwork it makes sense.
Elena makes me sad, because that kind of girl simply doesn't exist in real life.
Also, she's Canadian.
And a bloody Genius.
 
Watching Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac was a mind trip... so many languages going on
 
Vanquish is such an awesome, ridiculous game.
It's an obtuse parody of Gears of War, in many, many ways.
And one of my favourite games of all time.

Ashley NunnI want to remove some of the games that appear on my Home screen - the ones I don't play very often, like Face Raiders, for example.

4:21 AM
Wow, 555 messages while I was a playin minecraft.. Now that is a bit of minecraft :D
 
@AshleyNunn Katamari's colourfulness just burned my retinas and made me slightly motion sick...but it was totally worth it. >_>

Q: How does the courier work?

KexloxI've just gotten into DOTA-2, and never played any similar game before. I realize the courier will bring items out to me, but does every player on my team have their own courier, or is it one per team? If I'm using it to ferry a single item out to me, does that mean it isn't available for other...

Q: What determines my respawn time?

KexloxAs the match goes on, I notice the respawn time increases significantly. Why is that? Is it number of deaths, length of the match, character level, or something else entirely?

 
@OrigamiRobot There's overlap, certainly, but I don't think it's an explicit dupe.
Mass Effect 2 100% playthrough complete!
Runtime: 39.4 hours.
 
The spawn point "changes" because you don't spawn in the exact same block.
Question 2 is 100% covered by question 1.
 
Did you realize you are answering a year-old question anyway?
 
I moved my answer to the older question because the more recent question is covered by it and the existing answer wasn't quite correct.

6:35 AM
@NickT the old one that's still relevant because it always tops the offical one in search engie results, apparently
I didn't even know there was an official one. Looks like the old one's been majorly vandalized though
 
@BenBrocka "tf2wiki.net" is one of a very few sites I have blocked from my Google search results
@BenBrocka I can't find any blatant vandalism (not looking that hard though), the major problem that I have with it is that AdBlock is leaving huge amounts of whitespace when it nixes all the ads.
@BenBrocka it's about as relevant and useful as the #1 result for "santorum". Somehow I think the official wiki is getting punished in rankings for likely having started off as a scrape of TF2Wiki.net (under CC)
or if not an automated scrape, a crowdsourced one.

Q: Why are dual-lanes mid so rarely seen?

FraserIn over 300 games of Dota 2, I have yet to see a dual lane mid. I've seen a few competitively, but it seems the default for matchmaking games is 2-1-2, 2-1-1+J or the occasional trilane. Dual lane mid makes a lot of sense to me, since it allows one hero to grab runes and/or go ganking while the o...

BigBenI think my wives divorced me because I had them both living in the same area. I want to get one of them back, but I have no idea where they have gone. After the 2nd one divorced me it says she had left the region. Are they both taken out of the game when you divorce them, or are they still around?

Q: What is a videogame?

BaneThough this question might seem trivial at first, or even stupid, I believe that it isn't.

Video games are ex...

@Sterno Like Minecraft?
Are there blocks?
 
@fredley Precisely!
 
@Sterno Sounds cool! I hope there's redstone and pumpkins.
 
2:48 PM
@fredley There are blocks EVERYWHERE. I mean, you run up to the super secure military location, and for some reason there are huge blocks out in the lawn that you can take cover behind while assaulting the front door.
 
@Sterno What about creepers?
 
I can no longer continue with this, as I haven't actually played minecraft.
YOU WIN
 
@Sterno We're no longer friends.
 
@Wipqozn I really don't understand how people don't see this. My previous support for ITG came from my disagreement with the "ITGs are not useful." stance. I thought that was the main argument. After I got more involved in chat and meta, I quickly realized there are other more important factors.
 
@Wipqozn And the answers IMHO are yes and so-so, but I'm really tired of discussing a topic where the only winning condition for a large percentage of the community is "banning them forever and ever"
 
2:51 PM

@badp That's because a large percentage of the community do not think the questions belong here, so of course they want to ban them "forever and ever".

Q: Dota2 Server IP Addresses

Daniel BauligIs there a comprehensive list of the IP addresses / subnets of all available DotA2 servers so I can setup proper QoS rules on my router? I know of Game Monitor, however, I would like a list in a more comprehensive form making use of IP ranges and subnets. Anyone any suggestions?

 
@Lazers Way ahead of you
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, so whatever middle ground we iterate through, people need more. In other words, the only winning move is not to play.
So I've been successfully suctioned of all will to care about the topic, make of it what you will
 
2:53 PM
 
@badp If you can convince those people the questions belong here, it wouldn't be a problem. The issue is that the support ITG community is unable to convince the anti ITG community.
On the other hand, their would appear to be an increasing number of people going against ITG
 
@Wipqozn The only thing I'm convinced of is that there's no convincing
 
@Wipqozn That's alot of people.
 
@Mana I hate you so much right now.
 
@badp There is no middle ground because there have been no pro-ITG arguments. There are only anti-anti-ITG arguments in the form of "They could work." and "They're not so bad."
3
 
2:55 PM
@mana I'm not sure if that was on purpose, or accidental, but my point stands.
 
@Wipqozn "their"
 
@OrigamiRobot There's no middle ground because you say so. The current ground is the middle ground. This is not the first time ITG is discussed.
 
@Mana FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
stabs shelf
 
This is LessPop's whole point. We've gone so far in looking for middle ground, the middle ground can't actually be found in practice.
So if "BAN ALL THE THINGS" is the only proposal that can come out of the community so be it and just let's move along or whatever
 
@OrigamiRobot That's fine, though. There are plenty of other questions that are just there with no blatant obvious effect on the site.
It's not mandatory that every question be a shining brilliant star of excellence.
The pro-ITG argument is "They're just as fine as other questions."
I don't agree with that.
But it is a fine stance to take.
 
2:57 PM
@badp For there to be a middle ground, there have to be reasons they are good and reasons they are bad. Right now there are reasons they are bad and reasons they are not bad. It isn't the same.
 
The annoying this is that ITG will eventually be banned.
So this is just a huge waste of time.
 
@Wipqozn So since it annoys you as well try to come up with some effin alternative
 
I'm trying to get rid of blatantly bad questions (like ITG). Not just average run of the mill normal questions.
 
Since it is just a matter of convincing the pro-itg people that they shoudl be banned, or, as @badp states, people just get pissed off enough that they stop caring.
@badp Is there more to that sentence?
 
2:59 PM
@badp There is no alternative that will fix the fact that voting on ITGs makes absolutely no sense.
 
Bring me one example of "+10,000 PORTAL!!!!!!" style of voting
