Speaking of Amazon, have me a lego set being delivered tomorrow :D
 
user15026
@James Yay Lego! There is a lego club at my university, and they are slowly trying to recreate various major campus buildings in lego, which is kinda neat
 
Science opportunity!

Q: What is a snow golem's range?

OrigamiRobotI want to incorporate snow golems into my mob grinders. How close does a hostile mob need to be in order for a snow golem to begin throwing snowballs?

 
@AshleyNunn Have you seen the older gentleman who rebuilds the castles of the worlds in legos?
 
user15026
@James No way! That is cool
 
@AshleyNunn Let me see if I can find the link.. they are awesome templates for making castles in Minecraft (Cause what is Minecraft except a huge lego set :))
 
user15026
10:05 PM
@James Yeah, that is true
 
Welp. Looks like I'm going to Pittsburgh for two weeks.
 
Thats the guy... He has most of the castles that I am aware of.. And he shares his sketches and plans for quite a few of them, not just the final appearance of them :)
 
Is there anything fun in Pittsburgh?
 
user15026
Those castle are awesome!
 
10:11 PM
@OrigamiRobot +1 for that.. Snow golems do not cause much damage however. I used to love making em i nthe nether to attack blazes just for the amusement of em though :)
@AshleyNunn Glad you like :)
 
In skyrim, is there a fast way to get Esbern to Riverwood? Walking all the way from Riften seems.......too long
 
@James I just want to use them do lure the mobs into the grinder.
 
@SimonSheehan Most people will follow you if you fast travel
 
@James Good! I will try that :D thanks
 
@OrigamiRobot The new smarter AI not as willing to walk into it eh?
@SimonSheehan Np, happy to see a Skyrim question in all the Mass Effect 3 that has been flying around here today :)
 
10:13 PM
@SimonSheehan is... riften on the citadel?
 
Makes me wonder if Etho has updated his mob spawner design.
 
@James No, It will just make it faster than random wanderings.
 
@agent86 Shush you :P
@OrigamiRobot Ah, guess his spawner design will still work then.. Its on my ToDo list :)
 
okay, whew, 6 shares so far. and I'm a third of the way to the +5's for the console.
 
I don't know who Etho is.
 
10:15 PM
Interested more in an XP farm right now though. I need to find my zombie dungeon again :D
@OrigamiRobot youtube.com/user/EthosLab Guy does a lot of minecraft creations... and uses the zelda 'discovered secret room' sound to announce when most of the things are done/active/whatever :D

Q: Does your appearance change based on your morality?

FallenAngelEyesIn Mass Effect 2, Shepard's physical appearance (especially when you decided to go Renegade) could end up changing pretty drastically, though you could permanently reverse it if you chose to. Does this behavior continue in Mass Effect 3? I'd like to know so I can customize my character's appear...

Q: What is the name of the mod/mods used in this Civ4 video?

Qw4z1I was watching this playthrough of Civ4 the other day and I would really like to know the name of the mod or mods used to get all the fancy buttons and overlays. Really bugs me, since he says several times that he uses mods, but doesn't specify wich ones. ...

Q: What is a snow golem's range?

OrigamiRobotI want to incorporate snow golems into my mob grinders. How close does a hostile mob need to be in order for a snow golem to begin throwing snowballs?

 
@James My drowning traps can double as XP farms if I need them to.
 
Looked like it was trying to one box the link, figured I would give it a chance :)
@OrigamiRobot Yeah I have been debating a drowning vs falling for XP. Falling is just annoying, have to go a good deal away, drowning is a little more.. tricky, as the mobs can mess it up by their random movement.
 
@James That's why I'm using snowmen
 
@agent86 PS3 or Vita?
 
10:18 PM
@OrigamiRobot Wouldn't that just add more random into it though?
 
@James The snowman will not be able to move.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz probably the PS3, assuming I can get there. No real interest in the Vita.
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah but if the snowman gets in like 2 extra lucky shots then it drowns before you can get to it?
 
@James The snowman is only to lure it into the water.
I can make a hole to hit the mob while it's drowning.
 
@OrigamiRobot Is this creation going to make an appearance in the MC LP you are part of? :)

Q: Runescape Help?

Ryan McClureI'm on Ubuntu 11.10 and I am having trouble with Runescape, an in-browser Java game. My fps used to be 40-50 when I would play on Windows, but now on Ubuntu I'm at 4-5 fps. Any ideas?

 
@James Absolutely. The framework is done. The actual setup will be shown in the LP.
 
@OrigamiRobot Science completed.
 
@BenBrocka Initially, the Caltech team made these measurements by presenting foods to hungry subjects in three different forms: in a text-only format; in a high-resolution photograph; and in a tray placed in front of the subjects. "Then we measured their willingness to pay for the food," explains Rangel. -- That makes me discount this study and shake my head at CalTech. Talk about a slanted target/material.
 
@OrigamiRobot Have you guys actually started that yet.
 
@GnomeSlice Yea there are two episodes up.
 
10:29 PM
@OrigamiRobot Is this the one I was supposed to do music for?
 
@GnomeSlice I saw the first episode the other day.. Mind you they are haxoring it.. getting multiple people to show up in a single player game scoffs
 
@James Minecraft is a multiplayer game...
 
@GnomeSlice I don't think so. Are you thinking of the machinima?
 
@GnomeSlice Watch the video :P
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh, yeah.
 
10:30 PM
I soooo want one of these: geekchichq.com
 
@James That's the home page.
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, doesnt matter which table, I just want any one of em :)
 
@Ullallulloo Follow-up request: What exactly does 10 blocks mean? Are either of the blocks the golem or zombie standing on counted in that 10?
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes, there's 9 block between them with nothing.
 
@Ullallulloo That'd be 11 then.
 
10:33 PM
@Ullallulloo Gotcha. I will need 4 golems.
 
@GnomeSlice No, that's not how you count.
 
What's the 'augmented edition' of DXHR?
 
If something is in the adjacent block, it's not two blocks away.
 
I mean if you're counting the block both creatures are standing on, plus the 9 in the middle... that's 11.
 
10:35 PM
 
@GnomeSlice But you always only count one of those when you're counting something.
 
@Ullallulloo Why?
 
You start at zero.
 
Oh.
I suppose.
 
OMG ME3 WTF BBQ!!!!1!! Sorry, just had to get that out of me before I start to play.
 
10:38 PM
> In non-Steam game: Origin.
Lololololololol.
Take that, Steam!
 
@GnomeSlice That link's broken.

Q: Are cutscenes skippable on console versions of Mass Effect 3?

johnjonI'm annoyed at being forced to watch the entire length of cutscenes play out. Is there a way to skip past sections of dialog, or skip the entire cutscene altogether? I'm playing on Xbox 360, but I assume the potential solution is the same for PS3 and possibly PC. (I realize that this isn't the s...

Q: How to save Miranda?

me3Miranda died in my game, how do I save her? Is it possible to do? I don't have any saves older than the one for the mission, am I screwed?

 
@Lazers Oh go die in a fire.
 
@GnomeSlice Why?
 
10:45 PM
@Wipqozn Because.
Why would you skip the cutscenes.
 
> (I realize that this isn't the sort of game that you'd normally want to skip past the story elements in, and typically I wouldn't be, but I had to replay certain sections of the game and did not want to sit through the same story progression a second time.)
 
@James there were better studies but that's the best one Google found
 
that's why
 
75% off all Deus Ex Games this Weekend Since my last two attempts kind of borked.
@Wipqozn Missed that part.
 
There was one where it was found people were more willing to buy objects they DIDN'T touch but they could have touched
 
@GraceNote You wouldn't happen to know anything about this would you?
 
@agent86 I don't want you to ever say again you can't take screenshots on your 360!
 
@Sterno LOL.
 
@GnomeSlice Can't say I do
 
Let's see if improving a bunch of my +4's works to turn them into +5's.
 
10:55 PM
Question: If I open a bounty and no one submits an answer / acceptable / correct answer... 1) where should the bounty go? 2) Where does it go?
 
@Foxtrot Half of it goes to the highest rated answer.
 
It automatically goes to the highest voted post (only to positive scoring posts) on that Q but they only get half
 
The other half vanishes into the mist.
 
if no one answers/has an upvote the rep just disapears
though you can manually award it regardless of answer score
 
@BenBrocka so if i put a bounty up on a question, get an answer then submit an answer myself i can reward the bounty back to me?
 
10:58 PM
@GnomeSlice MGS4 is I think like 16 hours if you watch all the cut scenes, I think its 4 hours to complete it if you skip em all :)
 
not that I would do that, but sounds like a loophole!
 
@James So?
 
@GnomeSlice That would be why you would skip them.
Not everyone needs motivation to go shoot things :)
 
@GnomeSlice Thanks,
 
@BrianColvin I think you only get half of it back. Can't remember exactly, I'd have to look at the blog post dealing with bounties
 
11:02 PM
@BrianColvin You can't self-award a bounty.
As far as I know.
 
@Grace Any word about the ad thing on the channel?
 
@LessPopMoreFizz ah that's good
 
Also, the auto-award will only go to the highest upvoted answer that was posted since you posted the bounty.
 
Someone mentioned the asker could assign the bounty to an answer regardless of its upvotes
Nvm not really important was just curious

Q: What does "weapons are easier to handle" mean?

johnjonWhen you switch the difficulty to "Casual" or lower, a description pops up below saying that "weapons are easier to handle." What does this mean? I can think of a few options, but I'd like to know for sure. Possibilities: Less recoil Stronger auto-aim Increased accuracy Faster reloading Larger...

Q: Where do I find evidence of what happened to Ambassador Osoba's son?

SternoThe mission Benning: Evidence says that I need to find evidence of what happened to Ambassador Osoba's son, who went missing on Benning. However, when I hover over the systems in my galaxy map, none of them get tagged with this quest, so I don't know where I need to go for it. Where can I f...

Q: Does the Journal update for "fetch" missions?

TristanMass Effect 3 has a wide array of "Fetch [X] from System [Y]" missions that can be obtained simply by listening to conversations overheard from people on the Citadel as you're walking past. The problem with this is that the entries these missions make in your Journal are incredibly vague. For ex...

Q: How does the DPS between Nova's rank 5 evolutions compare?

FallenAngelEyesAt rank 5, Nova can evolve one of two different ways, Power Recharge or Half Blast. The descriptions are: Power Recharge - Increase recharge speed of all powers by 25% for 15s. Damage: 385 Force: 585N Radius: 4m Half Blast - Gain the option to use nova two times in a row by reducing its ba...

Q: What does Fortification do?

Q: How does auto-leveling work?

johnjonIn the Options screen under Gameplay, there is an option to turn "Auto Level-Up" on or off. I understand the gist of auto-leveling to be that the game decides how to increase the abilities of your team. But what criteria does it use to decide what to focus on when it comes to a character-by-chara...

Q: What is the warranty term for XBox 360 Repairs?

Mike BI'm debating whether or not to ship my XBOX in for repair (3 red lights -- out of warranty -- original xbox). Can someone please confirm what the warranty term is for XBox 360 repairs? 30 days? 90 days? Anything? I didn't see this explicitly mentioned on their site.

 
11:11 PM
@GnomeSlice Did you get a referral whatever?
 
@Ullallulloo A what?
Oh I don't know. Probably not, it doesn't work very well.
@Ullallulloo I got a buddy request...
 
@GnomeSlice Ya, I did that too.
 
I can't take Borderlands seriously. I'm sorry.
I'm dying here.
WHY DID THAT GET REMOVED
EXPLAIN YOURSELF
This is just the greatest thing.
 
@GnomeSlice You don't need to point out when you think that something looks like genitalia.

@Ullallulloo How am I supposed to take borderlands seriously.
@Ullallulloo Besides, I never said what I thought it looked like.
 
11:21 PM
@GnomeSlice Yes you did.
Like, yesterday or a few days ago.
 
@ArdaXi Not just now, though.
 
Still.
 
Nice pun EDI.

I want to play the Mass Effect series so badly now!
 
@Mana Play RotMG instead!

@tiddy But then their cats may get sick as well! D:
 
I wonder why my shares dont work.
I WANT SOME PRIZES! WOO
 
@Mana Because the robot is asking for advice on how to hit on the cripple?
 
11:35 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes.
 
@Mana I didn't post the screenshot of what the robots response is when you tell her that they need 'chemistry'.
She comments that she's aware of a number of pharmaceuticals that she could inject to make him more suggestible.

Q: What happened with Ashley between ME2 and ME3?

Fredy31I'm wondering, what happened between ME2 and ME3? I mean, in ME2, because you were with Cerberus, she didn't even want to talk with you. She acted like you just made the biggest act of trahison ever. In ME3, you start back with a her still a little mad, but in your party, and the relation start...

Q: How and when do I recruit Tali?

agent86I started playing the first few plot missions in ME3 last night, and very early on I recruited Garrus. Both he and Tali survived the events of ME2, and I believe they are both potential squadmates. They tended to round out my team in previous installments. If I've just recruited Garrus, how ...

I should steal it.
 
No, you should not.
