I bet I could just try to condense it out of the air; run lab air through a dryer (some salt) then through a cooling coil
@murgatroid99 THis twilight review is awesome.
@Wipqozn86 The one I linked to?
@murgatroid99 Yes.
@Wipqozn I'm enjoying it too.
@Wipqozn86 That's why I linked to it. Eventually I'll probably read his reviews of the other three books
@StrixVaria Aren't you supposed to run linux like that?
Anyone happen to know off the top of their heads if the first witchier game has gamepad support?
@James but answers that don't answer the question are OK, just ask @Oak
@NickT Oh it answers the question at the start and end by saying 'As James said ...' ... Which is the part that annoys me..
00:20
damnit; a creeper spawned on a floating island in this adventure map and knocked a sheep off
that bitch
grrr
ok, day 1, blitz islands and light them up
user2334
@James I think he answered it better than you did, to be honest: the condition was to "build the majority of things", and without seeds and sugar cane you can't build farms or get any of the higher level enchants
user2334
Plus he expanded on all the different caveats and gotchas of skimping on certain things
that reminds me...
@badp You should mark this answer accepted instead of mine. much better.
@MarkTrapp Yeah I suppose you would need sugar cane to get an enchantment table. Still not sure you need seeds though.. and definitely not cactus :P
Some of you jerks need to play Avernum so I can answer questions about it. Stupid niche games!
00:24
(OMG Green dye whatever shall I do with out you!! oh wait, Ive never used you :))
anywho
fuck, now a sheep knocked a pig off less than a minute before I start
Off to pay the ransom for my car so I can get it back and vroom all around again :)
why are the creatures so homicidal in this map
00:45
can you do anything with snow?
snow golems
and can ice still water crops?
user2334
@NickT No, needs to be liquid water
@RavenDreamer I like it.

Oh man this Yankee game.
wow.
@Wipqozn86 good enough for me!

Q: Does the direction of the Referee's gaze affect chances of catching fouls?

yx.The ref typically follows the ball around, and he tends to face the direction of the ball. If I commit a foul when he's looking away from the body, does that lower the chance of him not catching the foul?

Q: At what level should a fire mage DPS out damage frost mage in instances?

imaginativeI'm leveling a frost mage in hopes of one day raiding with him using the fire spec in PvE and using frost for PvP. From metrics I've seen scattered on the Internet, it seems fire mages are currently able to out damage frost mages in PvE. At what point in my talent tree/level mage should I start i...

@LessPop_MoreFizz Those cubes are so expensive.
That's like $15 per 9 pixels.
user2334
01:24
IIRC he rented or borrowed them from Hasbro and had to give them all back
@StrixVaria Buy cheap chinese knockoffs in bulk -> Create art.
@MarkTrapp Or that.
user2334
I think it was like $12k to rent them or something. He did an AMA a long time ago
I'm bored with my music, someone give me an album to listen to
@NickT What kind of stuff do you usually like?
@NickT the new Death Grips record, The Money Store
01:26
Oooh
UNKLE, Elbow, DCFC, Radiohead, Florence+Machine...
A base timbre that makes my speaker vibrate my chair.
I was going to recommend Florence+Machine :(
@LessPop_MoreFizz not on Rhapsody
01:27
@NickT Dresden Dolls.
@NickT It doesn't come out till tuesday, that's why I linked a streamer
@NickT But if it must be a released record, Cloud Nothings newest, Wasted Days
@LessPop_MoreFizz sure is interesting...not quite my thing though
@LessPop_MoreFizz Attack on Memory?
@NickT Yea
wasted days is the single, my bad
01:32
@LessPop_MoreFizz the album is pretty good so far (half-way though first track :P)

Q: How do I breed a Sakura Dragon?

Ben BrockaThere's a new Sakura Dragon in the market with the elements Plant, Earth and Fire. Sounds like it's limited time. How do I get a Sakura Dragon egg and how will I know when I get one? Approximately how rare are they? How long do I have to breed one?

god dammit chat, would you quit throttling me? I'll have you know I'm not a spammer.
Hahaha
I love my car
It just goes ZOOM so nicely:D
01:38
@agent86 The chat throttling is so goddamned annoying.
so very very annoying.
@James is that why it was impounded?
when I try to post a link that I want oneboxed
so... yeah. VPS was working for about 8 hours or so, and it's back down again. Logged a support ticket, they're like "we'll get right back to you on that" - 3 hours ago.
and prepend it like this:
and get throttled.
@NickT It was just at the service shop :)
They still demanded money for its return though! :D
01:39
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, chat's like "hellz naw. pasting a link? you're out of your mind"
@agent86 Who did you go with?
@James I've been using virpus for about 2 years now, but I think this is the end of that arrangement
my contract's up in june, and I'm going to find somewhere else
@agent86 Ahh, I see I see.
alright, PS3's done installing, game time \o/
01:55

Q: What do I do with this cone?

FluttershySo, I'll admit, I love point-and-click adventure games. The problem is, I'm terrible at them! I've been staring at this screen for close to half an hour, and I still have no idea what I'm supposed to do with these bouncy little cherry looking guys, and this cone. What do I do in this area? (Or...

Basically, Every pokemon has 6 "bonus stats" that get added to the base stats of a level 100 pokemon. These are called IVs, and differ from mon to mon.
My beautiful gold badge question has become a cesspool of me too answers. Thanks for protecting it @FAE.

Q: How do you breed the Legendary Monster in Tiny Monsters?

EBongoThere is a quest in the game to acquire the Legendary Monster. Description: Legendary Find and hatch the mysterious Legendary monster, master of the elements! If you want to breed it, what combination of monsters do you use?

Although I think it is attracting a lot of casuals to the site, I'm not sure any are staying.
FAE
FAE
@EBongo No prob. :)
I was looking at a similar question from @BenBrocka on one of the new dragons and I thought... "How do you get it protected like that", and then I saw my question already was. Is that just a mod power, or does something else trigger it automatically?
I saw that, but looks like complete random, like if I keep creating pokemon over pokemon (or ecountering them) this could change.

And it's like they are only "visible" in high lvs.

So if I want breed a pokemon (lv 1) with the most possible power I could get, Idk yet how I could define this.

@RavenDreamer ok =) I'll take another look to this, then i'll try a question (or maybe not) =)
Yeah, I don't know when they appear
but you can't see IV differences at level 1.
02:01
every user at 15k can protect questions. It also happens automatically after a number of answers are removed
(moderators bypass the rep requirement)
FAE
FAE
That was the first one I've been able to manually protect
Most of the time it happens automatically, that I see
if "community" protects it, it means we deleted enough answers to qualify for auto-protection

Q: How do I Distribute Online Games Uploaded to my Website?

daveyI am currently working on a website where users can learn the art of game design and create and share various assets (artwork, music,code, etc.) with other users. We will host our users' games on our site but we would also like to come up with a method of distributing them to other sites effectiv...

Does Dragonvale have any interaction between players?
02:02
usually by the time I think to myself "this needs protection" I've just deleted enough answers to do it automatically :P
Many of those answers are delete-worthy. It is an unfortunate side effect that some of those folks are viewing the question in more "game forum post" type format.
@RavenDreamer Minimal. You can share gems, check out other players parks, and there is the party hat effect.
Corollary to that, I guess: what's the endgame? Or is it strictly sandbox?
@agent86 There are about 5 exact duplicate, speculative, non-answers at this point. I've considered a bounty, but I don't have a lot of faith that anyone really knows.
@EBongo if they're crappy/incomplete answers, downvote them :P
and welllcome to the iiiinterneeeet
man this yakuza game I have almost no interest in
I think this is going to be a short rental
it's been about half an hour of cutscenes in japanese that I just can't even begin to get interested in
@RavenDreamer It's very hard to get to "the end". @BenBrocka has a pimped park, and he's still got a level to go. It's more of an infinite breeding game I think. There are constant patches with limited edition dragons. And then it's sort of just a zen garden kind of thing I tihnk.
02:06
@EBongo, are you going to fez it up tonight?
@EBongo though some of them do stick aronud and seem to kinda get it.
@agent86 I had an emergency meeting of the joint cheifs of staff. It has been decided yes. But lunch tomorrow?
@RavenDreamer it's progression based, I wouldn't call anything an "endgame" aside from being level 30 or getting all the achievements/dragons
@EBongo lol, gotcha. yeah, let's do lunch. text me, WOTS server has bit it and I can't MSN
@BenBrocka I've tried to be a good ambassador and that's part of my reason for not downvoting. I suppose it's the cosmically right thing to do, but it's a little harsh for 1 rep members, for me.
@agent86 Will do.
@RavenDreamer @BenBrocka As soon as Ben hits the end they'll probably just up the level cap another 30 levels too.
02:10
I always upvote if 1 rep users actually contribute something useful
@EBongo sounds like the CoD prestige system
And @EBongo questions are auto-protected if 3 brand new users have posts deleted on a question
heh,6500 views in 3 hours, that's faster than the Bloom dragon question, probably because I asked so early
@agent86 I think there are two new maps by the way. Also, the clan is enrolled in a operation for Friday night. Team Deathmatch I think. The timing is favorable. I'm thinking it sounds like fun.
@BenBrocka Yes, I got home and saw you'd already posted it. Good timing. I suspect some are coming back because this is starting to be a respected source of DragonVale intel. That's what I tell myself at least. :)
Well, I know about the Dragovale Wiki and I'd still rather get answers from here. The other sites just aren't very good especially in the early hours
Off to Fez. Don't hate the game, hate the players...
02:14
lol
@EBongo have you gotten a sakura yet?
@RonanForman Even worse. C-
@BenBrocka I am on attempt 3 :)
@James I'm just starting, didn't get it in my first 2 tries
I'm hoping it's not as bad as the clover dragon
Last one I got is a 1hr egg, so Ill be on attempt four soon
But I use epic for breeding types I want to try and get and normal for breeding XP :)
02:29
@agent86 I think you missed my point in the jokes discussion
Album listening recommendations: go
@NickT Willis Earl Beal, Acousmatic Sorcery
Assuming you like bleak, creepy outsider blues.
whatever, I'll listen to it
If you don't, the new Spiritualized record, Sweet Heart, Sweet Light, is fantastic.
only 2 tracks on Rhapsody; the single Evening's Kiss
02:36
@NickT And Swing on Low probably?
The Later Parade
@NickT That one isn't even on the album.
Listen to Evening's Kiss because it's a GREAT song though.
It's probably the most conventional song on the record.
@BenBrocka did you get two?
Did you want two?
> I think questions about gaming jokes/memes are not constructive for this site.
was good, other was strange
done, need more
02:42
@OrigamiRobot I disagree with that statement. I said why. I think I got your point.
is LessPop the only person here that listens to music?
@NickT Spiritualized!
@agent86 I see discussions on practicality and popularity
@mana is also a big music nerd like me.
@LessPop_MoreFizz what album
02:43
@RavenDreamer I want 2. I got 0
0 is less than 2
@NickT Sweet Heart, Sweet Light is the new one and is great.
playing now
Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space is the undisputed classic of their catalog and also worth a spin if you like sweet heart sweet light
@BenBrocka better luck next year
@OrigamiRobot if it's gaming plot, story, terminology related, it's on-topic imho. is it possible to ask dumb questions about gaming humor that have tenuous grasps at gaming in them? yes. but some of the things you linked aren't that way. you've cut far too broad a swath.
02:44
@agent86 cough*whatisfusrohdah*cough
@agent86 I am not saying story, plot, or terminology questions are off-topic. I even explained why terminology questions are useful.
@RavenDreamer you keep bringing that up, as if it's supposed to mean something to me
@RavenDreamer oh, you mean clovers. I only got 1. Wanted 2 but 1 is ACCEPTABLE
@OrigamiRobot you've got jokes and memes as being "not constructive." I say you can't draw the line clearly enough.
@agent86 It was a blatant "I want a Dovahkiin hat" question, and I'm not gonna let you live that down. ;)
02:46
@agent86 I specifically said "Not constructive"
Also, it lets me post this video again
@OrigamiRobot sentence works either way
@RavenDreamer shrugs I am not ashamed in any way. People got pissed, I apologized, I say big deal :P
Not understanding a joke is not a real problem.
YOUR APOLOGY IS. SNIFF. UNACCEPTABLE!
@OrigamiRobot sure it is, just like any other "story" question is.
02:48
If it is, most of Gnome's closed questions are real problems.
"I don't understand why this happened in game" is a problem whether the thing is funny, popular, not funny, or not popular.
> If my car broke down, would I need to Fus Ro Dah it to a mechanic?
if I say "I don't understand why parthunaax taught me shouts, he's a dragon, shouldn't he want to see me stopped?" is that not constructive?
@BenBrocka that was the original title of the question :)

Q: What is Steam? DRM?

Raven DreamerWhat exactly is Steam? Isn't it DRM? What can I do with it?

@agent86 nooooob
something everyone assumes everyone knows :P
02:51
@agent86 How is this related?
You mean the first question I ever asked when I was young and naive?
Apples and oranges, sir.
And I want none of your shenanngerines.
@RavenDreamer mmmhmm
(Also, did the Adventure Time reference go over your head?)
@RavenDreamer maybe he is not a fan of Lemongrab.
2
@OrigamiRobot it's a story/plot/terminology question. what does it matter if it's about something funny or popular or not? why does that make it not constructive?
if I say "what does the cake is a lie mean in Portal?" - it's a story element question.
02:53
@agent86 The problem with the fus ro dah question has nothing to do with whether it's a funny meme or not. The problem is that it's a stupid question easily answered by typing the phrase in to google.
you can answer that by talking about ratman, and glados' promises
@agent86 Because the humor has nothing to do with the game.
@LessPop_MoreFizz and that's why people have downvoted the question, and if people feel that way, then so be it.
that question comes up often, and it's my own damn fault for posting in that meta thread, I was really hoping to avoid rehashing this for the nth time
@agent86 I don't get the joke you reference.
02:56
@OrigamiRobot "I've heard all around the internet about this "cake is a lie" thing and I know it's a meme related to portal. could someone explain what that means in the context of the game?" is a meme/joke related question - your answer on that question (which specifically references cake is a lie) is saying it should get closed because it is meme/joke related.
7 mins ago, by agent86
if I say "I don't understand why parthunaax taught me shouts, he's a dragon, shouldn't he want to see me stopped?" is that not constructive?
What does this have to do with jokes?
@OrigamiRobot this isn't intended as a joke - this is a "serious story question" to contrast with the "joke story question"
@OrigamiRobot He's pointing out that there's nothing special about the 'joke' questions that makes them distinct from any story/plot/terminology question.
The only thing thats different is that the joke questions happen to be about something funny.
@agent86 I am not saying things related to memes should be closed. I am saying things asking specifically about the humor aspect are not constructive.
Can we please stop trying to ban categories of questions?
4
The evil questions are already banned.
Now it's time for common sense.
02:58
I'm not trying to get funny questions or questions about funny things banned.
Asking "Why is this funny?" is dumb and not useful.
Then when they come up downvote and vote to close.
I'll probably join you if the questions are stupid.
I do, but people disagree
We should stop trying to make blanket rules and start focusing on individual problem questions like we used to before the ITG/Game Rec crusades.
It's like people are specifically looking for things to argue about :(
@StrixVaria I... I'm so proud.
@StrixVaria amen. I think we're a tad bit close happy at the moment.

Q: Where did the "arrow in the knee" joke start?

IsziI've heard the "arrow in the knee" joke pop up in a few discussions around here and elsewhere, mostly related to Skyrim. I'm aware that this is probably in reference to a generic quote said by many NPCs (mostly guards) in the game. However, I'm wondering if there's an older reference I might be...

How is this useful?
"I heard this as a joke, but I've never played the game. Why is it funny?"
@OrigamiRobot Except that isn't what's being asked at all. What's being asked is "Is this joke original to this game? Or did it start earlier in the series?"
That said, it's still a stupid question, but it's a down vote, not a close IMO.
@LessPop_MoreFizz "What is the first occurrence of X?"
not understanding something about a game is kind of why people ask questions. to say "it's not a problem when people don't understand" makes all story questions close-worthy
I got a pinned message. With that, I'm out for the night! bows

Q: Running old Windows game with 2 CDs on Mac OS X

I have a friend who would like to play this game on their MacBook which is running Mac OS X. I have the 2 CDs as .iso files, an...

@agent86 The difference is story questions make you not understand the game. I take issue with questions where the only problem is not understanding a joke.
@OrigamiRobot Pretty sure we wouldn't consider 'first occurrence of a recurring reference in a series' to be non-constructive. It is decidedly not as open ended and stupid as, for example, 'first occurrence of a homing missile mechanic'
@OrigamiRobot So the only thing that's worse about them is that they're about something thats funny? That's an awfully thin criteria.
@LessPop_MoreFizz this is my point. why does it matter if they're funny, or popular?
@LessPop_MoreFizz You are not understanding what I'm saying at all.
@GamingnotonGaming I swear to god if this gets migrated...
03:07
Neither of you are.
@OrigamiRobot I am absolutely understanding what you're saying, and I'm saying that you're out of line on your criteria - the criteria that you're beating around the bush of, is that you don't like when people ask questions about internet memes that happen to be gaming-based without having played the game. And the proper solution to those questions is to down vote them, and perhaps VTC them as being stupid questions, but not to try to somehow bring down yet another...
constructed category of questions in the in unending quest to add MORE RULES! ALWAYS MOAR RULES.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Wrong
We have a perfectly good set of mechanisms for responding to stupid questions that show no research effort, and we don't need to try to throw out a whole class of questions just to get rid of them.
@LessPop_MoreFizz What "whole class of questions" do you think I'm talking about?
@OrigamiRobot Questions that ask about memes or jokes that originate in games.
03:13
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's an oversimplification.
...jeez, I thought this window was google, for some reason.
I really like how this turned out:
@RavenDreamer Now I really, really want to know what you're searching for.

so how much is this Beta going to be limited by traffic?
are the games hosted remotely or are they still local
@badp We need to protect the purity of our password salts!
@NickT it's a "stress test" beta
Massively Multiplayer Server Benchmarking System
@badp yes, so if there's any hiccup between you and Bnet, does your game quit? pause? you'd barely notice?
@NickT There's only one way to know.
07:15
sure, logging on would be the main trick, but after that I figured
@badp ask someone who's played the beta already? that's what I was trying to do
I've only just made my account with Blizzard
(and I'm not too happy about it. Those guys are probably even tighter than fucking EA.)
But they're just so cheery about it, plus it's not like anyone makes a game remotely similar and on-par with them
the legalese wasn't cheery at all :P
life is to short to read EULA and ToS :)

@NickT Works like the rest of Blizzard's always-online games: as soon as you lose connection to the server, you disconnect and the game ends

@Fluttershy That's not exactly accurate: subclause (vi) only applies to data stored by the game and is standard language for games that patch themselves (e.g., WoW deleting out of date files during a patching session). Subclause (v) is sketchy, though, and likely illegal if applied to communications outside of the game

These video files were created using Corel VideoStudio X4. Other MPEG-4 files created by the converter feature of YouTube Downloader work fine. Me...

Q: Minecraft Server Admin: Regions vs Logging

Jonathan MilfordI've run a little minecraft server for my friends for almost a year. I've started experiencing griefing and installed bukkit and the plugin CoreProtect, which logs block place/breakage. It's great. However, the cost is increased CPU usage, which severely limits the amount of players. I'm runnin...

hm...
- Added initial support for the Community Overlay in Mac games hosted by Wine. Currently validated with The Witcher
from the Steam changelog

Q: Is it possible to avoid violence and gore in Skyrim?

hgpcIs it possible to avoid high levels violence, gore and horror while having a complete gaming experience in Skyrim? Obviously a game rated M or PEGI 18+ will contain mature content, but is the bulk of this content forced unto the player (either as part of the main quest, or by being unavoidable i...

Indieroyale announces the Spring Bundle, which you should get just for Inferno+.
I did get that bundle but I'm not too much a fan of that Vertical Adventures game
@badp Have you played Inferno+ yet? It's your cup of tea, I'm sure. Dungeon crawler meets arena shooter.
the controls... aaargh.
Wish the game gave me some feedback when I'm holding the run kyey, even if stationary.
so I could learn to hold that damn key.
@badp Yes/no?
no, no I haven't.
12:19
@badp You should.
Later.
I bought the radiangames bundle just for that one after playing Inferno on XBLIG.
@badp I think I have that vertical adventure game from some other bundle. Is it no good?
@GnomeSlice It's probably nice, but the controls I can't like them.
12:38
crashes trough the rebels.
@Fredy31 'through'*
F- That
@GnomeSlice "trough the rebels" is obviously the name of his car and he crashed it.
