Q: What's a good strategy for defeating the cyberdemon?

oKtosiTeI've played all the way through to the cyberdemon several times now, but on every build I've tried, he simply outguns me. What is a good way to prepare for the cyberdemon fight?

Q: Why does my companion (Qyzen) have Aim as a primary stat?

AmarokFrom what the in-game tooltip says about Aim and from what I'm reading online, it's primarily used to increase ranged damage and critical, however, Qyzen Fess doesn't use ranged weapons. His only Weapon Proficiency is the Techblade. Why would a Techblade user require Aim? Why does Qyzen's e...

 
@RonanForman I did Draft, but yeah.
Rah, it's been a while since I used WP, that might not have been the correct thing.
 
That's probably what I meant.
 
I dunno... now I can't change it again.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Seems to still be visible on the blog, but I'm not exactly sure how the Private settings work
when I tried to go to edit, it wouldn't let me change the status
 
@FAE I don't see it.
 
9:02 PM
@FAE Me neither...
Ah balls.
 
Even with a direct link.
 
I'm just gonna delete it, then NOT publish it again.
 
FAE
@Ullallulloo I still do, huh.
 
It's not there. @FAE is just logged in.
 
FAE
@RonanForman Ah, when I click it 404's, yeah.
 
9:03 PM
new blog post icon just trolled me
 
Is it still there?

Q: What's a good strategy for defeating the cyberdemon?

Ben Brockacommented: Pro Tip: Shoot it until it dies

I'm sorry but I couldn't resist
 
@gnomeslice Oh, I just read backscroll. Did you write something that you then deleted/hid?
I saw the "new blog" button but a minute later when I hit it, nothing was there.
 
@BenBrocka Pro much tip.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Add some pics, then I'd probably also suggest linking to the games you're talking about.
 
9:05 PM
I was talking to not just you.
@FAE Getting there.
You know how I say things before I think about them?
Well... yeah.
I post things before I finish them.
Sorry.
 
FAE
S'all good, just letting you know for next time. :)
 
We have start a pot going for betting on whether or not I remember things like these.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice If you ever need proofreading for the blog, feel free to ping me here or in the blog room.
 
@Gnome I bet your dignity you forget.
 
@RonanForman PFt.
Hm is there a way to do images without taking up a bunch of text lines?
i.e. next to the text?
 
FAE
9:12 PM
@GnomeSlice You can wrap like that, yeah
 
@GnomeSlice markdown lets you do inline images
 
@Gnome I bet your pride you remember.
 
only looks good if it's a very small iamge and you know what you're doing though
 
@RonanForman That defeats the entire purpose.
 
Well you either lose your dignity or keep your pride, your choice.
 
9:15 PM
@RonanForman That's not a very good wager.
 
@FAE This is a christmas/birthday song rap lyric
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot ...>_>
 
@FAE Don't blame me for the things you say.
 
@OrigamiRobot pft, lol
 
@GraceNote I found my DS charger.

Q: What happend to my follower, Lydia, with all my stuff?

xFaLLeN_EternitySo I am pretty far in the game, and is currently completing the Stormcloack questline. I approach to liberate Whiterun and get rid of those Imperial troops. Lydia is there fighting with me, and once I got to the Jarl, she goes of to his side (So she is clearly not dead) Then I do listen to the ta...

 
@OrigamiRobot I haven't seen Grace around for a while. I notice the name in the people in the room, but haven't seen Grace talk in I dunno how long. o.O
 
@Fluttershy Seen 14s ago Talked 47 min ago
 
Be back later, have to go to a massage
 
@GnomeSlice Gross
@Lazers Dupe
 
@OrigamiRobot I really don't want or need one
 
9:33 PM
@Fluttershy Hang on. Err... who are you?
 
@ArdaXi Tristan.
 
@GnomeSlice Then why?
 
@ArdaXi Yep. I'm Tristan.
 
But you're a pony.
 
@ArdaXi A known issue.
 
9:35 PM
@ArdaXi My gravatar has always been a pony. Except for the three-ish weeks when it was Link.
 
@MarkTrapp Wait...why are both those proposed dupes still open?
 
I don't go by avatars. Especially since they're all so similar lately.
 
@ArdaXi Haven't you heard? Apparently we're out of avatars.
We need to start reusing them.
 
@OrigamiRobot One of them should be closed as a dupe of the other, shouldn't it?
 
Bronies went in first generously.
Or we'd be knee deep in Avatarocalypse.
 
9:38 PM
@Fluttershy I don't have time to fully investigate, but it seems like they are different.
 
@OrigamiRobot I just checked. They are. One's asking about a disappearing follower, the other is asking about one who got tired of waiting and went home.
 
user2334
@OrigamiRobot I picked the one at the end of a dupe chain
 
Buuuut... One covers the "went home" portion...
 
@MarkTrapp I think the one you picked is about a specific message saying the follower left.
 
user2334
I feel like the "What happened to Lydia" question comes up once every 3 days
 
user2334
9:40 PM
@OrigamiRobot Yes, but it was generalized in the next line: "There have been other situations where my follower has mysteriously disappeared as well."
 
@OrigamiRobot The answer still covers all 3 possiblities.
 
user2334
Oh, I answered it: that was coincidental
 
@badp Oh yes. I hadn't heard it applied to usernames as well.
 
Like I said, I can't fully investigate right now, so you guys hash it out :P
The point is this new one is a dupe of something
 
That said: this question is a duplicate of this question
 
user2334
9:42 PM
@Fluttershy That top answer is a bit ಠ_ಠ. Same exact answer as mine, even in the same order
 
@MarkTrapp Exactly. lol
@murgatroid99 You around?
 
Dear TV and movie directors:

Shaky cam sucks. It doesn't "put you in the action" like you think it does. It's especially annoying when you use it in a scene where people are just sitting at a table talking. Please stop using it.

Sincerely,
Sterno
 
@fluttershy yes
 
@murgatroid99 Did you receive your prize from the ME3 missions yet?
 
user2334
@Sterno Steadicam sucks too. Fixed cameras or death!

Q: In what directory are Sins of a Solar Empire saved games stored?

AxiomPretty simple question: where does Sins of a Solar Empire save games? I'm sharing saves between machines using Windows Live Mesh and I'd like to know where to point it.

 
@fluttershy no, but I only responded to the email late Thursday
 
I just watched like 5 minutes of Medium (which seems to suck for reasons other than just the camera work), and they just kept moving the camera all over the place for no reason. And it reminded me once again of how much I hate Paul Greengrass
 
@murgatroid99 What'd you pick?
 
@fluttershy the comics. I like lore stuff
 
@murgatroid99 Oh. Nevermind then. >.>
 
FAE
10:00 PM
@Sterno ...whyyyy would you use shakycam for that scene?!
 
@FAE My operating theory is that they do it because they hate me
 
Shakeycam is only good for mockumentaries
 
10:18 PM
crashes through ice cream
 
Does anyone here play TrackMania?
 
FAE
@GeorgeEdison I own Trackmania Nations... Forever, I think it is, but I don't play extensively.
 
Hello @George! Do you know Thomas?
 
@OrigamiRobot Thomas McDonald?
 
@GeorgeEdison I didn't commit any resources to a follow-up on this poor joke.
 
10:28 PM
@FAE In order to unlock one of the tracks, I need to invite a buddy. Would you be able to share your login name so I could add you?
@OrigamiRobot I'm confused...
 
@GeorgeEdison I'm a robot...
 
FAE
@GeorgeEdison let me get somewhere safe in Minecraft, one sec
 
Thomas Edison.
 
@FAE Why have we not played Minecraft? I love Minecraft.
 
No, I don't know any Thomas Edison.
 
10:30 PM
@FAE You're playing Minecraft? O.o
 
FAE
@Fluttershy I... uh... should I not be playing Minecraft?
 
@GeorgeEdison Oh, he was a pretty famous inventor.
 
FAE
@GeorgeEdison nick is "fallenangeleyes"
 
@Ullallulloo Oh, I thought you were referring to someone who frequented this room - not the famous inventor Thomas Edison.
 
This is irritating. I went to Taco Bell and ordered a burrito and a taco, because I already had tortilla chips at home. I walk all the way home and find... a burrito and a bag of chips. Now my dinner is going to compromise 70% chips.
And I'm pretty sure it's the wrong burrito too :(
 
10:35 PM
@RavenDreamer I see no problem here.
 
Of course youdon't.
 
@RavenDreamer This, on the other hand, may be problematic.
 
Robots are all about the chips.
 
@RavenDreamer rimshot Hey, @StrixVaria, you need to see this.
 
You did it wrong. It's:
Of course you don't, robots are.
puts on sunglasses
All about the chips.

Q: Games like Limbo?

AlexWhat other games do you know similar to Limbo?

Death^
 
@OrigamiRobot I loved how the Black and White game would whisper 'death' when things died :)
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Maybe because I have no interest in creative mode?
 
@FAE I don't like creative mode that much :(
 
Or PvP.
 
FAE
10:40 PM
@RonanForman Or PvP, indeed.
 
I love co-op SMP T_T
 
Party on my server and everyone is invited! :D
Cept I can't go :(
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot That's pretty much all I do. But I don't really know how to build fancy stuff like mob grinders and the like. I just like exploring, mainly spelunking.
 
@FAE That's the best part. I just do redstone on the side.
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, why can't we all just be friends! Give me a hug Mr. Creeper...
 
10:42 PM
I used to be into minecarts when you still had to use boosters
 
I had to click for context: "Naked. Naked naked naked naked naked. Naked Wipqozn. Naked."
 
@JuanManuel That is the best.
 
@JuanManuel I was going to, but then I realized it was wipqozn.
 
@FAE Have you seen the Farlands or Bust LP? The guy who is hiking to the farlands?
 
I still think we should get @FAE @IanPugsley me and however else can record to do a fancy multi-cam adventure map.
 
FAE
10:44 PM
@James In general, I don't really watch LPs, so nay
 
@FAE Ah, well it would seem like something that would match your playstyle is all :)
 
@RonanForman Way to exclude me! Now I'm gonna sulk.
 
It's quite boring, which is a shame because Kurt is quite a good commentator.
 
FAE
@James I'll write it down, thanks. :)
 
@FAE I have been wondering for a while.. Why did you shorten your name?
 
10:46 PM
@Origami Can you record?
 
Mar 15 at 15:16, by FallenAngelEyes
Seeing as everyone abbreviates me anyway, time for a display name change
 
FAE
Mar 15 at 16:14, by FAE
@StrixVaria Because people on the website have the tendency to abbreviate it anyway, even people I don't know personally, and I've thusly missed pings before because of it.
 
@RonanForman I'd be down for that.
 
@RonanForman I could if recording wasn't so terribly complicated.
 
Peer presure.
 
10:46 PM
@FAE Ah :)
 
@FAE I like how our quotes are within 1 hour of each other and yet the names are different.
 
new ipad is here, old laptop is fixed, joyous day
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot :D
 
@BenBrocka Glad someone is having a good day :)
 
Ohh this keyboard is so satisfying
 
10:48 PM
@BenBrocka Wow you are just having a bad day...
 
Actually I feel sort of sick, but the digital goodness makes it okay
 
@Ben You minecraft right?
 
I own it, havent played in ages
 
@BenBrocka Cheating the 30 day minimum I see.
 
Am not
 
10:53 PM
Apparently, Adam Baldwin is unaware he died off screen in ME3. :(
Whoa, we're away from Rarity already?:
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer :(
 
On the other hand
I heartily endorse "speak like an elcor" - day
November 7th. Mark your calenders.
 
@RavenDreamer don't make me change it back
 
@Ben We were talking about doing a multicam minecraft adventure map.
 
Hey, What happened to the latest G.SE blog post? It's not there anymore.
It showed up in my RSS reader, but the post appears to have gone 404.
 
10:56 PM
It was accedentally published, it should be up again soon.
 
@RonanForman Oh, okay.
 
@RonanForman sounds interesting
 
FAE
@GeorgeEdison ping me whenever you get around to adding me :) Though I'll be heading to sleep in a couple hours.
 
You can have friends lists in minecraft?
 
@FAE I don't know your login name.
 
FAE
11:01 PM
@GeorgeEdison I pinged you earlier, guess you missed it, it's "fallenangeleyes"
 
Ah, thanks.
@FAE: Added.
 
FAE
@GeorgeEdison accepted
Do I have to join you for a race or anything for you to get credit?
 
@FAE Nope - I just have to add you.
Thanks.
 
yx.
anyone here have the Vita? What games are you guys playing on it?
 
FAE
@GeorgeEdison Okies! No problem.
@yx Gasp, you're in chat! @Raven has one.
 
11:06 PM
@agent86 I don't think it's funny. I think it's profound. THere's a difference.
 
I turned on my playstation and I have friends!
 
@yx I am playing two PSP games, on it, honestly.
 
yx.
yea, I looked through the vita games list, nothing really jumps out at me right now
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz how crazy coincidental that you've responded to that in that hours later, in the tiny 30 second window where I am paying attention.
and really, there's a difference between funny and profound? YOUDONTSAY.jpg
 
@agent86 I have POWERS.
 
11:07 PM
@yx If it ever goes on sale, I might buy Lumines. But I don't want to spend $35 on a puzzle game.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz majickz
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer Oof, it's $35, really? :/
 
@RavenDreamer I kicked off gamefly again to get some PS3 games
 
@agent86 I will add you now. Are you a boy or a girl? What's your name?
 
FAE
If I ever get a Vita, that's one of the games I want. That, SoundShapes, and the Uncharted one.
 
11:08 PM
they were doing a "one month for $1" deal
@RavenDreamer agent86ix
 
@FAE and I already own a version on Steam.
 
I got an invite from someone I don't know who it is
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer Yeah, I have that one as well.
 
do any of you other iOS users constantly get the cannot connect to itunes error in the app store?
 
"barakku"
 
11:08 PM
@FAE I thought you had a birthday coming up
@agent86 that's @BenBrocka
 
FAE
@agent86 That's @Ben Brocka iirc
@RavenDreamer not for a couple months
 
yeah that's me
 
@FAE makes senskku
 
I'm on steam now btw for whoever asked
 
@BenBrocka well, you have +1 friends now, woo for you
 
11:10 PM
@FAE By all means play Minecraft. I'm just surprised to not have known you played til now. lol
 
@agent86 You're using the 6 as both a 6 and an S? meta.
 
FAE
@Fluttershy You... took me on a server tour...
 
yx.
@FAE yea, most of the time I'm either at work or playing games, sort of in between games right now
 
FAE
@yx It's nice to see you in here. :) I think you're our only 20k+ user who doesn't regularly pop into chat.
 
@FAE I just checked again. It's thirty-six.
 
yx.
11:12 PM
yea, and PvZ is 16 bucks, rridiculous
@FAE tzenes stops by regularly?
 
@yx Protoss vs. Zerg... wha?
@yx he has been a bit more, lately.
 
yx.
plants vs zombies lol
 
FAE
@yx Well, more so lately now!
 
I'm not even into guys, and I'm falling for Graves.
 
@FAE Oh yeah... I did do that... >.>
 
FAE
11:14 PM
@Fluttershy Yes, yes you did. >_>
 
@FAE My memory is terrible.
 
FAE
@Fluttershy I see that!
 
Oh, neat! I'm back up to 100% accept rate.
 
@FAE Is that what gave you the impression that I was all about creative mode?
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot I think so, yeah
 
11:16 PM
@FAE :(
Books and covers and blahblahblah
 
@OrigamiRobot What is local NPR.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz What?
 
I thought I had found it, but it kept cutting out once I got close to downtown and then I realized it was an SC NPR that I was on the edge of.
 
89. something, I believe.
 
@OrigamiRobot Radio. NPR?
Alternately, are there any good college radio stations or other radio stations that don't suck?
 
11:17 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't listen to that, so I have no clue.
@LessPop_MoreFizz 99.7 :P
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I also don't radio, but I think it's 90.7
 
I like 100.7
 
I like 107.0
 
@IanPugsley When one spends all day in a car, radio is nice.
 
@RavenDreamer You are too far away
 
11:18 PM
but you might not receive it over that side of that pond.
 
the River. Your prom theme is our playlist
 
that sounds terrifying
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz understandable, but serious - the radio here is garbage
I hope you like AT40/pop music!
 
It means a lot of Beetles, Queen, The Eagles, etc.
 
@IanPugsley 99.7
 
11:20 PM
@IanPugsley I am perfectly happy to find quality talk radio - NPR all day every day is fine by me.
 
Booooooooooorrrrrrring
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz you're venturing into unknown territory for me, but if it isn't NPR, I wouldn't risk it down here
 
@OrigamiRobot talk radio is better at keeping me awake because I pay attention to what people are saying and yell at the stupid people.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm sure talk radio is full of stupid people.
 
if it's talk radio, there's a 90% chance it's heavily right-aligned politics or religious fundies
@LessPop_MoreFizz if you wanna yell at stupid, you've come to the right place
 
11:21 PM
He yall

Q: What is the theorheical maximum AD you can get?

BubBidderskinsI was just wondering, what is the maximum AD you can get on a character if you picked the one with the highest based damage at lvl 18 and just stacked AD on them? I guess this would be the ultimate glass cannon :P.

 
@IanPugsley In fairness, by 'talk radio' I basically do mean NPR.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz +1
 
@FAE Excellent.
 
@IanPugsley Unfortunately, this is true.
 
11:21 PM
@GnomeSlice: Play what?
 
How do we make an existing chat room gaming affiliated or make a new chat room that is?
 
Well, and also The Best Show, but I download that as a podcast every week anyway
 
I love the music on 99.7, but the rest of it is garbage.
 
that radio I mentioned above is mostly talk radio. Well, 6 minutes talk, 4 minutes song cycles anyway
and mostly light hearted talk.
 
Less Talk, More Rokk
 
11:23 PM
@OrigamiRobot what sort of music is 99.7
 
@OrigamiRobot Fun Guitar hero song
 
I miss Seattle radio. Seattle radio was awesome.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Classic rock. The only kind of music. :P
 
Pittsburgh wasn't bad.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot I hate that so few songs have bass solos that count as solos, even though there's so many. There's like... 5.
 
11:23 PM
@OrigamiRobot Oh, okay I won't bother then.
 
FAE
That actually count.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz You fool!
To be fair it is like 60% Zeppelin and I don't really care for them :/
 
@RonanForman Hardy har har. My schedule tends to be too unpredictable for me to commit to definitely showing up.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz smart move
 
So no one knows how to make gaming.se affiliated chat rooms?
 
11:25 PM
Oh good, the message about my nakedness is still on the starred list.
5
@James You just create a room with this site.
 
@Wipqozn Thanks we found out its the user profile affiliation it seems :)
The person who made the original room is SO affiliated by default. I am gaming.. So I just made a new room :)
 
@RavenDreamer I was mostly looking for things that didn't look stupid at the end of my handle. Someone later pointed out to me that "ix" is also 9 in roman numerals, so I'm technically agent8 69, but that was unintentional
 
FAE
@agent86 Non-stupid handle endings are hard to come up with
 
Back when I was 10, "Xtreme" seemed like a pretty good suffix.
 
11:40 PM
surfdudeXtreme1990@aol.com
the username of everyone in the 90s
 
@FAE Josh Petrie is in the GameDev room if you're into that.
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer Considering I know nothing about game development, it'd probably just look creepy if I popped in there randomly. :P
 
You're a disembodied eye. It looks creepy when you drop in anywhere.
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer Hush you.
 
@RavenDreamer What? Not creepy at all
 
11:43 PM
@FAE this. I wanted to change my gamertag and it costs like $8, and I spent a good half hour trying permutations before settling on that. it tends to be fairly unique though, which is nice.
 
See?
 
@BenBrocka I'm not creeped out at shudder all!
I really have no idea if this is an answer or not:
 
My cousin is CornyKorn21 for the same reason. CornyKorn is sometimes available, but he goes for that 21 every time.

A: Is it possible to 'Stack' Multiplayer war assets?

zaltaborTechnically you can still get the worse endings even if you did a lot of promoting. Certain online aspects of the game, whilst tied into the story, require you to be logged in to your EA account. For example some of the free content in the Collectors edition is available even when you are not si...

 
@FAE <3 your eyes on me.
 
11:44 PM
Aw, Zero's not creepy at all
 
it's kind of sort of an answer, I guess?
 
He wants a huuuug
 
@BenBrocka O2!
 
11:45 PM
So i got my headphones from the ME3 contest in a creepy blue felt bag
which is kind of awsome
 
@RavenDreamer 0 not O
 
FAE
@agent86 the downside of trying to use this name as a handle is it's too short :(
 
@BenBrocka Really?
@agent86 what is Seth's last name?
Seth from Chaos?
 
@RavenDreamer his name's Zero
well it was in KDL 3, it's 0<sup>2</sup> in Kirby 64
 
Wrong zero?
-_T
 
11:49 PM
@RavenDreamer that's a different but still awesome Zero
 
@RavenDreamer Rogers.
 
@agent86 You are too slow! I already answered my own questions! Then I accepted it and got 17 rep due to mod abuse.
 
@RavenDreamer this is what you get for asking me questions while I'm busy.
 
This is from when Zero went through his "Pants? What pants?" phase.
 
try asking me questions when I'm not busy. I work much faster
 
11:51 PM
@RavenDreamer did you play the GBA games?
Zero is too sexy for robot pants
 
@BenBrocka Erm. Not on the gameboy. So I don't think I appreciated the difficulty.

Q: When do you use Doran's Blades in top lane on a Bruiser

Daniel ColeI like top lane. I watch streams to help learn and i sometimes see the same person building dorans on say... Olaf instead of a phage or warmogs. When do you go for dorans over bigger items?

Q: If I buy two Phantom Dancers, then what is my crit chance?

BubBidderskinsI was wondering how crit chance stacks. Say I buy a PD with its 30% crit chance. Now if I buy another PD, what is my crit chance?

 
SAVESTATESSSSSSSSSS
@Lazers ...really?
 
@RavenDreamer MM Zero 3 and 4 are the best, and aren't quite as brutal (or boring) as the first one
I strongly recommend 3 and 4. And if you have a DS just get the Megaman Zero collection
 
@BenBrocka Yes. I seem to recall liking 3 the best.
Was that the one where you unlocked all the different forms, or was that 2?
 
11:55 PM
forms? Are you thinking of Megaman ZX?
