wild @MarcoCeppi appears
 
Also, @RavenDreamer did you see the ME3 MP Minigames I was pasta-ing into chat before?
 
I'm always here
 
Someone merged it into or something a while ago on MSO, but it looks like it was remade
 
@NickT OMG!!! o.O Why ...

@LessPop_MoreFizz I did not.

Grissom Academy's Finest
Billions of credits, hours of grueling training, and one daring rescue mission later, Grissom Academy's top students are reporting for duty! These eager and daring students are ready to report in and do their part for the alliance war effort. Owing to their lack of experience, however, they're only being tasked with the most basic of tasks - clearing out those pesky Geth from Firebase White!

Rules
Map: Firebase White
Enemy: Geth
Difficulty: Gold
Characters: All four party members MUST play Human Adepts. All adepts must have Shockwave fully evolved, to whatever spec
 
@LessPopMoreFizz The thing that bothers me most about ME3, is that I don't want gorram character unlocks, anymore. I want an extended assault rifle mod, darn it!
 
@RavenDreamer Spam recruit packs
 
"Don't use this tag. Meta SO is SERIOUS BUSINESS."
 
8:01 PM
The Very Bad Krogan Diplomat
Map: Any
Enemy: Any
Difficulty: Bronze or Silver

On the eve of an important peace conference, your crack team of 3 commandos has been assigned to guard a very important Krogan diplomat from assassins! The Krogan Diplomat is a fourth player, playing a Krogan Sentinel specc'd for maximum Tech Armor Durability, maximum Health and Shields from Fitness. Oh and one more thing: the Krogan Diplomat is very Krogan and has decided to take on all the assassins himself! He doesn't need your help! Maybe that isn't such a good idea...
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz They're uncommon, though.
 
I already have all the common mods... by spamming recruit packs :P
@LessPop_MoreFizz These are great.

Q: Allow users to pay 2X of their own reputation to deal X damage to target user's reputation

Twilight SparkleI suggest users be allowed to spend 2X of their own reputation in order to deal X damage to a target user's reputation. If damage were limited to -200 per day, users would be able to hold their ground by constantly hitting the rep cap, encouraging increased participation from these targets. I...

 
Turian Special Forces
Map: Any
Enemy: Any
Difficulty: Silver or Gold if you are King Turian

Requirements: You must be a Turian Soldier. You are only allowed to use fully automatic weapons - no semi-automatic or single-shot allowed. Marksman specc'd for ROF encouraged but not required.

Special Rule: No one is allowed to dress in Garrus colors. Unless you are playing on Gold, in which case you ALL have to dress like Garrus.

Result: Automatic weapons are bad, but this is fun!
 
@LessPopMoreFizz I played an Asari Justicar last night with a group of 2 other adepts.
Man that was fun.
 
Cleared Gold Cerebus on Reactor, too.
Biotic Sphere is all :whoooooom: and that + reave + reave + reave makes you a blue tank of awesome
 
8:05 PM
@RavenDreamer And the last one:
8 Pairs, Nowhere to Run
There's only one race in the galaxy that is purpose-built, primed, and ready to unleash pure ownage on some bitches. The Krogan. Other races value things like stealth, or subtlety, not getting shot in cover, or tech bursts. Krogans value one thing: letting their enemies know exactly who is killing them, as they are headbutted to death.

Rules
Map: Firebase Giant
Enemy: Any (Reapers = :suicide: )
Difficulty: Gold
Characters: All four characters must play a Krogan. It doesn't matter how they're specialized, because all Krogans are badasses.

I think I support Teenage Martial Soldier Turians.
 
@RavenDreamer That's Teenage Martial Senintel Krogans.

@murgatroid99 They're free.

@Ullallulloo to the question, not to the downvoter
 
@murgatroid99 Oh, then they're two.
Answer downvotes are -4.
 
@Ullallulloo Now I see. They're both -2
 
@murgatroid99 hmm...so they are...
When'd that change?

Q: What do the counting cube, writing cube, and skull artifacts mean or represent?

seanI know how the tome works, but what do the inscriptions on the counting cube, writing cube, and skull mean or represent? Are their inscriptions used as a code for something? Is it just an Easter egg, or is it apophenia? Again, I'm only interested in the meaning of these patterns, not their symbol...

@badp Irish Fat Albert? Is that you?
 
@Ullallulloo HE SAID SOMETHING THAT MAKES HIM LOOK BAD! QUICK! STAR IT!

DICK CLARK IS DEAD. THE MAYANS WERE RIGHT.
 
8:23 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I assume you're watching CNN?
 
@Wipqozn86 No, not at the moment, why
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I just heard the news myself 2 minutes ago. CNN appears to be doing an article on his life.
 
Who voluntarily watches cnn
 
@tiddy me. :(
 
I'm so sorry
 
8:26 PM
@tiddy I should point out I wasn't watching it, my mother does. CNN isn't much better than Faux News.
 
@Wipqozn86 Hey now, CNN is pretty useful and important sometimes.
After all, if it weren't for CNN I would not know that sharks are breeding at alarming rates.
Or that Global Warming was giving rise to super-sharks.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Al Roker will step up and save the world.
 
@StrixVaria Al Roker can not rock new years eve.
He can not identify a good beat, which one can dance to.
We are doomed.
 
I think there should be an election for the next host (especially appropriate given that it's an election year)
 
Pretty sure it's Ryan Seacrest
 
8:41 PM
@tiddy It is.
 
my vote goes to either Andrew W.K. or a drunk Wolf Blitzer
 
@IanPugsley Both. Together.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't know if I'd feel safe watching that
I would, for sure
but I feel like the year they'd rock in together...that would not be a good year
 
Anyone want DOTA 2 on Steam? I have 2 to give out on Steam b/c I was in the beta
 
@IanPugsley Just marry Andrew W.K. already.
 
8:44 PM
Beta users got 2 free copies?
 
@OrigamiRobot I can't, he married some fitness lady and also is possibly a legal entity and not a real person
 
@tiddy yep
 
Wow
 
do you want a copy
 
@IanPugsley Not with that attitude.
 
8:45 PM
@IanPugsley It wouldn't be a good year. It's be an awesome year.
 
No thanks. Those lane games and tiddy don't mix
I'll watch from the bushes and pop out at the right moment
 
ok

Q: Need Clarification Prot Pally Block+dodge+parry+5% chance for the boss to miss

WerdadinI would appreciate someone clarifying the percentages. For example, my Mastery rating says I block 49% (Okay), which is straightforward. However, under the "Defense" information it shows my Dodge, Parry and Block percentages. The Block % here is 54.48%, which is 5% higher than what the Mastery...

Q: Can I ask questions about editing software?

However, I realized that those type of questions may be irrelevant to this site as editing software has many other purposes than just editing gaming videos. So, would that question be appropriate here? If not, wh...

Q: How to create a shortcut to automatically connect to a server on CSS

ZyteXHow can I create a desktop shortcut that will automatically connect to a game server on launch? I have got this as a start up command "steam://rungameid/240 -connect 193.192.58.170:27015", but it doesn't connect just start the game... Is it possible? Thanks!

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz the wrong kind of awesome, though - the kind where you're really enjoying yourself, but it's only a matter of time until your loved ones stage an intervention
 
@IanPugsley Sounds like someone isn't partying hard enough.

Q: What's the largest size of "door" I can open with a single switch?

I have a huge arena, and I'd ideally like to be able to hit one switch and open a large door to release the monsters. When I say "door", it doesn't necessarily need to b...

@StrixVaria -7 Downvotes? ACCEPT!
 
@Fluttershy To be fair, it was at 0 when he accepted.
He just dismissed my answer and never actually bothered to come back.
 
9:48 PM
@StrixVaria Someone should comment on that fact... >.>
Maybe the inbox notification would lure him in.
 
@Fluttershy I kind of brought it up to get someone else to comment so it isn't as immediately obvious that I'm panhandling for the checkmark.
 
@StrixVaria I'd do it, but I dunno what to say. >.>
 
@Fluttershy "Get your shit together, man!"
I guess that's another reason I'm not doing it.
 
@StrixVaria I just said "The currently accepted answer is incorrect."

After following the treasure map (standing exactly in the hole of the logo, entering the tetromino code on the reverse side), a floating...

Actually it might not be so bad.

Q: What are the differences between the three warrior melee weapon types?

WipqoznA warrior has three weapon-realted skills: Axes Maces Swords I've been hesistant on investing any points into a weapon skill since I'm uncertain what the difference between the three types are. What are the differences between Axes, Maces, and Swords?

 
10:29 PM
@murgatroid99 Haha, I was joking.. but since he uploaded all the pictures why not link them in your article as well? :)
 
@Mana I'm hoping this doesn't foreshadow Nepequius or Feferidan.
 
@murgatroid99 I honestly like your word description better than the reliance on the pictures... especially since none of what he shows is in the original picture from the asker.

@RavenDreamer what are you expecting as a result?
 
@James Something a-maz-ing.
3D, excellent graphics, and not a @#$* to try and hold for long periods of time.
 
10:39 PM
@RavenDreamer You have a 3DS? high-five
 
Hehe, I keep the 3D on my 3DS at a minimum
Gives me a headache when the depth is on too much
if developers could just keep the 3D behind the screen it would be so much easier on me. but everyone thinks 3D should pop out at you instead of it being where you are looking through a window into a 3D scene.
 
@James Most seem to in my experience.
 
@Ullallulloo a good amount of time that is the case, just not enough for me is all.. hence why I play it on such a low depth settings
 
@RavenDreamer do you actually like the 3D on the 3DS? don't have one yet
A kirby or pokemon game will likely eventually make me buy one though
 
@RonanForman OMG AWESOME

@BenBrocka A Pokemon game exclusively for 3DS would put me in such a dilemma.

So, are there any levels without crystals, or are there larger levels that have more than one? If there are any de...

Q: Poor performance during "Who Dares Wins"

OakI've been playing Fallout 3 GOTY edition (via Steam). So far the game has been relatively well-behaved - good performance, and only an occasional crash (like once every 3 hours, which is something I can live with). However, in the recent hour or so it has became worse; in particular, every time ...

 
@BenBrocka Got a steel dragon egg incubating :)
And working on hatching my fourth Panlong
 
@BenBrocka It's niche, but it works pretty darn good.
@StrixVaria Black and White 2 is coming out for the DS or the 3DS?
 
@RavenDreamer I think regular DS.
 
@StrixVaria You are correct.
 
10:55 PM
@Wipqozn86 re: your grimrock question, I don't feel confident enough of this answer to post it, but my impression from playing was swords > axes > maces when it came to speed, and maces > axes > swords when it came to damage
 
Wow, they already have Disgaea 3 for PS Vita
 
And you'll probably want your fighters, if you have more than 1, to choose different weapon types, since there aren't that many magic weapons
 
@Sterno hm, I see
 
@StrixVaria Don't worry, at the rate it's going, the 3DS will cost $40 by the time Gen VI is out
 
A follow-up would be do they have any differences outside of combat? I notice axes have an ability which is used to "chop firewood"
 
10:58 PM
@Wipqozn86 Really? That's probably just flavor text.
I had one axe guy and one sword guy, and they were functionally identical other than the sword guy swung slightly faster and hit a little less hard
 
@Sterno Okay, great.
That was my main concern.
Also, I assume attack speed = cool down?
 
Yeah
The winner in overall damage output was my rogue, who was in the back row with a dagger (and 12+ points in assassination, so he could use it from back there)
That dude rocked out, especially if I managed backstabs
Of course, since he was in the back rank, I didn't have to waste any of his skill points on armor like I did with the front rank
 
ah I see
My set-up is: Rogue Warrior / Mage Mage
Rogue is going to be using bows, even though he is in the front row (since I'm cool like that(
 
You'll have nice upfront damage if you go into battle with two spells queued. Might be harder to manage two mages at once in an intense combat, though
 
@Sterno It takes some getting used to, yes
but I always have spells queued when I'm out of combat. It's really useful.
Also, Ice shards is also.
justline up a few enemies and attack
 
11:07 PM
@James It feels kind of dishonest to use pictures someone else took from their own answer in my answer
 
If I do another playthrough I might try 4 mages and do hit & runs
 
11:19 PM
Game identification requests are off topic on the site, so I guess I'll ask here. I'm trying to find out which game I used to play when I was younger on the old Apple II computer. If I recall, it featured the William Tell Overture as the background music, and involved a weasel/gopher and apples. Maybe a horse and cowboy.
