It's important to turn your invisibility on after killing all enemies. You look more badass that way.
 
@James Kinect Vader is better IMO.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Did you see Assassins' Creed for Kinect?
 
@James Yeah
Star Wars Kinect is a real thing though.
With real terrible songs.
 
awww, I was going to link it :)
LOL
 
12:09 AM
@James Click the last few links I've tossed into chat.
It is. Amazing.

Q: In Blacklight: Retribution, do Revives still give points?

AceofgodsSo I bought the Revival Injector equipment, and I play Team Deathmatch and a team mate dies. If I revive them, do the enemy team still get a point? Do they get another point if that team mate dies after being revived? What if they don't accept the revive and just respawn anyways?

Q: Maintenance Expiration

AceofgodsSo I just bought and activated some kit and the servers went down for Maintenance... Do the timers keep ticking or do they pause the timers while the servers are down?

0
Q: How to take down a Hardsuit?

AceofgodsSo I just started playing the game a little while ago, and I know the Hardsuits have a randomly generated weakspot that does a little bit of extra damage, but even this seems to do little against the Hardsuit's 15,000 health. How should you fight these things?

Q: Can you use Global chat while in a match?

AceofgodsIs there a way to watch/talk in Global chat while you're in a match?

Q: I'm downloading Minecraft for the first time. Will I need to buy anything?

DavidThis is the first time I'm seeing Minecraft. I don't know what it is I've never played it. I saw a "Buy now" button but I didn't press it. I instead clicked on a button that said download and I started downloading the 270KB .exe file. Is there anything I will be missing out on by not buying the g...

 
@StrixVaria all these ADOM questions is making me want to play ADOM again.
 
12:28 AM
@Wipqozn Do it.
 
I like that they didn't keep their promise on the click through.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
@LessPop_MoreFizz My initial reaction was "Dammit! I don't want to have to spend $60 right now!"
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I saw that before. I didn't realize it was still up

@JeremyBanks "monthly fee" stopped reading.

@JeremyBanks Looks interesting but complicated.
 
@JeremyBanks That looks pretty cool. It's too bad they took "An ending that makes sense" out of the feature list
 
0x10 = 16, C = 12. So clearly the game name is just shorthand for 281474976710656.
 
@StrixVaria "It's now the year 281 474 976 712 644 AD"
 
@murgatroid99 I'm psychic.
 
FAE
@StrixVaria was disappointed about this as well :/

Q: Bolt-Action Rifle in Blacklight: Retribution

AceofgodsAt lower levels, the Bolt-Action Rifle has the most single-shot damage in the game, but even this is only 172 damage to the starting health of 175. With the low fire rate and slower reload time, conjoined with the fact that this weapon cannot kill in one shot, is it still worth getting?

Q: When can you unlock Shotguns?

AceofgodsI've been playing for a little while and I'm only level 5. I've been killed a few times by people using Shotguns but I can't buy any of them yet. At what level can I unlock them without paying Zen?

 
All this talk about Kevin Sorbo is making me want to play The Conduit again.

@OrigamiRobot 3.5 hours later, opened the secret merman room. Only need bat form: just fly into the tunnel from the right side (in the normal castle).
 
user2334
PS SotN is a lot shorter than I remember it being. Could've sworn that took me like a dozen hours when I first played it
 
user2334
Actually, the side of the tunnel you enter doesn't matter. Just fly through either side in bat form.
 
@MarkTrapp You backtracked 300 times the first time because you had no clue where to go.
 
user2334
I had a strategy guide back then, but it was definitely awful.
 
Whoa... I just found Tom Mauritzon completely by accident... awesome stuff!
Why am I even considering going into Digital music production.
It's going to be utterly pointless.
 
1:12 AM
@GnomeSlice why?
 
@murgatroid99 Because there are tons of incredible producers out there already.
What's the point?
I'm just going to be Mediocre at best.
 
@GnomeSlice so you think you will never make anything good that's different from what other people have made?
 
@murgatroid99 I think I will never be very good at it, when compared to a lot of other producers.
 
@GnomeSlice but if you can make a worthy, unique contribution, why does it matter if you are not "as good" as others by some arbitrary measure?
@GnomeSlice Anyway, the important question is: do you enjoy it?
 
I dunno.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, it was originally called 'Smuggle Truck' and involved transporting illegal immigrants, rather than stuffed animals.
 
1:17 AM
@GnomeSlice I know.
 
The Frozen Synapse room is now the Frozen Frozen Synapse room again...
Anyone seen @Brant around lately, by the way?
Also, @FAE Did you and @DMA ever finish your games?
 
FAE
in Frozen Synapse Tournament, Feb 14 at 19:39, by FallenAngelEyes
@Gnome I lost to @DMA 0-3.
 
@FAE Ah, okay.
So this really cute girl came up to me on the bus, sat down, and started talking to me because she thought I was one of her friends.
 
1:42 AM
@GnomeSlice So did you successfully navigate the dialogue tree and get her phone number?
 
Uno mas Nuclear Dawn up for grabs
 
@Sterno No, and I raged at myself about it later.
 
Real life needs walkthroughs
 
@GnomeSlice When I'm on the bus, only the creepy girls that I knew from this or that theatre production talk to me because I worked with them once

Q: Any way to change the keyboard layout in Typing of the Dead? Or how to type a "#"

Ben LeeI recently read this: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2005/08/mavis-beacon-ate-my-brain.html I installed the game and having been playing it (awesome game!). I already know how to touch type, but I'm going through the tutorials anyway. The tutorials show a keyboard layout that doesn't match mi...

Q: How does attack speed stack, and are there diminishing returns?

BubBidderskinsI was wondering how attack speed stacked. For instance, if I get two Phantom Dancers (each giving 55% attack speed), what would be the total buff to my attack speed? Also, is there a point of diminishing returns where stacking more attack speed doesn't increase it as much?

0
Q: Buying kit for your friends

AceofgodsSo the game has a built in option that lets you buy items for your friends, but what if you buy a level 10 item for a level 5 player? Can they still use it, or do they just get it and can't activate it? Can they send it back if they can't use it?

 
@NickT You've never heard of this?
 
@NickT 2 player coop over TCP/IP!
 
can't get it from the link on the page
 
@NickT It's... a typing game... it's been around for ages... it's not particularly special...
 
eveinfo.net/wiki/ind~5255.htm lol, someone made a doomsday-proof interdictor
aka, a ship with maybe 1400 total HP (but only half of which would be effective for tanking) took a 2,000,000 HP attack and survived
oh, wait, that was when it was AoE, so it was only 70,000 damage
still, that would require ~99% resist, which is asinine
 
2:12 AM
Asking again, since I don't think I ever saw an answer, is it possible to use html tables in answers? My early attempts have been unsuccessful.

Q: How do I be less on fire?

Ian PugsleyOn a few occasions now, I've encountered enemies wielding a gun that shoots fire. Symptoms of being on fire include barbecuing to death. The speed of said barbecuing varies on whether or not you continue to be beset by the wielder of the mysterious flame-gouting weapon. When I have managed to esc...

Q: Why am I flashing while walking?

Derpy HoovesSometimes when I am walking (outside of a town, on the world map), my character will flash white. Does this mean anything? Or is it just a graphical glitch somewhere?

Q: Why is magic so exhausting?

StrixVariaI just rolled my second Wizard character, and I'm going around blithely killing enemies with my Magic Missiles. However, I'm seeing a message I never saw with my first character who used this spell. Do you want to exhaust yourself casting this spell? [y/N] If I choose yes, I receive another...

 
@EBongo nope, your only recourse is to either use an image (bad, because the text isn't searchable), a code block (ugly), or petition to get TeX enabled on the site and hack it that way (not likely)
 
@NickT I assume when you say code block, you just mean monospace text format, right?
 
@EBongo Yes. Which you get by leading with 4 spaces at start of the line.
like this if it works in chat.
Indeed!
 
or with backticks (`)
I am a robot. I am here to take American jobs.
actually...
 
2:20 AM
Why can't I load my Twitter profile...
News feed works fine...
 
@LessPopMoreFizz @NickT Well, thanks anyway. I'm well down the route of using an image, but I'm using this as a learning experience.
 
@EBongo I said it was ugly
 
@EBongo Nope. The only other thing you can do is use <sub> to get small text.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz How does this help
you can't do that to a code block
 
2:22 AM
@NickT You can't but it's the only way to adjust font size.
Really, the best way to do tables is to make them in Excel or whatever your tool of choice is, take a screenshot, and post that.
 
Panchea makes me very glad that I stocked up on PEPS ammo.
 
Which is awful.
 
@EBongo what are you trying to do anyways
 
Hmm... I didn't realize that would retcon my previous post
 
WHY THE FUCK WON'T THIS LOAD
 
2:24 AM
the only time I find myself trying to use a table, I'm basically copying half of what you can find better represented on a wiki, like Minecraft Wiki or TF2 wiki, etc
 
user2334
WHY ARE WE SHOUTING
 
I've been trying for close to an hour to get my Twitter profile to load.
 
so I just describe it, maybe give a couple things, then a link
 
MY INTERNET FUCKING BLOWS I GUESS.
 
user2334
OH SORRY TO HEAR
 
2:24 AM
Even though the timeline will load...
 
WHAT'S THAT SONNY? SPEAK UP
 
@MarkTrapp BECAUSE SOMEBODY POKED THE C o l o s s a l P i l l a r O f W a s p s .
 
@NickT I have an answer that involves a significant amount of Science, which I have generated in a fairly large spreadsheet. My intent is to display just a small portion, to summarize the findings.
 
user2334
That's some mighty fine kerning you got there, Lou.
 
@EBongo a publicly viewable Google Docs spreadsheet may be your friend.
 
2:25 AM
@Fluttershy Typeracer pegs me at 105 WPM.
 
could SS part of that and throw it in there
 
crashes through a secret project.
 
@RavenDreamer the first one I tried said 90 WPM, which is clearly a lie
 
woohoo, I'm getting a bloom dragon
 
@NickT Yes, I think I'll go the Google Docs route before all is said and done, but since I've never used that service before I've got to figure that out too.
 
2:30 AM
google docs is win
my lab pretty much relies on that and Dropbox
which is being progressively more annoying as my PI tacks more people onto the same shared folder, so I am constantly seeing updates as people save their crap to it.
 
@MarkTrapp So you just flew through the tunnel? No Wing Smash?
 
user2334
@OrigamiRobot Right: morphed into bat, hugged the top of the tunnel, profit
 
user2334
Worked from both sides
 
Fascinating. I always thought you had to use Wing Smash or whatever the wolf charge spell is.
 
@BenBrocka Gratz. I paid $5 for an epic breeding island for just such purposes.
 
2:37 AM
Also, someone VTC'd that question :(
 
@EBongo one of us, one of us
 
@BenBrocka gooble gobble gooble gobble
 
I got it on the first try, try storm + lichen/plant
Actually would asking how to get the flavor of the month dragon on G.SE be a good idea? Should get some views, but they're time limited
 
user2334
@OrigamiRobot someone vtced both questions. I agree the other one is too localized though: could have 1889 duplicates. Although it might be able to be reworked into something like "What do I do when I'm missing 0.1% of the map?"
 
@BenBrocka Is it different every month?
 
2:39 AM
@BenBrocka Yeah, well I figured they deserved $5 of my money. I always have such a dilemma with the fremium games because part of what makes it fun to me is the challenge of scarce resources.
... and yes, I think the flavor of the month dragon should be on here. People will ask the internet, we should answer.

Q: Which is the best way to level up a Pokemon?

Michel AyresAt the moment I am using this strategy: Pokemon as the first in party (engaging in all fights, even when I need to switch for a more powerful/best suited Pokemon). Exp.Share equiped. Fighting the Elite Four + Champion (30 Pokemons with range of 7x) This strategy works great when I am leveling...

 
Don't make them go to Yahoo Answers... just don't. It's a human tragedy.

@OrigamiRobot no, different timeframes have different time limited dragons. On Leap Day there was a leap year dragon for one. day. There's also a Year of the Dragon dragon for all year, and several last a week or two around a holiday (like the current Spring dragon)
@EBongo the devs deserve it :) I gave 'em $10
 
@MarkTrapp I think a question asking for complete maps and then saying "these are my maps. what room am I missing" is perfectly fine.
 
basically at any given time Dragonvale will release a time limited dragon and there's a rush to get it
 
2:41 AM
... and the many variations thereof.
 
@BenBrocka I meant is the method of acquiring them different every time (I assumed monthly)
 
Just realized that this:
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes, it involves a different formula each time. And then for each formula there are many combinations. The best combinations in my opinion also take into account avoiding costly side effects (undesired, long incubate dragons)

galacticninjaInspired by this answer on the "Is there a definitive 'Best Weapon' for each weapon type in Skyrim?" question: Are there any unique bows whose enchantments make them a better choice than a custom enchanted bow?

 
Plus there's the question of how long it will last, though the Wiki is usually okay about getting that up
 
2:45 AM
Which I had voted to close once before and it expired. :( I'm sad it's open.
Bad questions are bad
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz "You have already voted to close this question "
And I upvoted your last comment on it.
 
@NickT Well, if you have a better suggestion for a WPM test, I'm open to it.
 
@RavenDreamer I flagged a thing
 
wtf ps3
gotta download a 1 GB patch for this game, and now you're installing a bunch of stuff? I've been trying to play this game for the last 2 hours now
 
FAE
@agent86 Welcome to PS3 ownership!
 
2:52 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I did a thing with the whatsits and the hoohas.
Hey, @FAE, you seen this?
 
@RavenDreamer With the hoohas? Kinky.
 
@FAE if I knew how to make that table flip ascii art, I would so flip some ascii art tables right now
 
@RavenDreamer Did you see that there are more Star Wars Dance Videos?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, geez.
 
FAE
2:54 AM
@agent86 It makes it really hard to just sit down and play the PS3 a little bit. I don't do it if I know I have to leave withing a half hour because there will inevitably be some half hour update and I won't get to play.
@RavenDreamer Haha, nay
man, Dirt 3 is a pretty game
 
How much does Journey cost?
 
Oh yeah, I have a voucher for that game...
 
Looks awesome. Can't find a pricetag, not by the PS3.
 
@RavenDreamer -1 lmgtfy
 
Ah, it expired. Epic fail.
 
2:55 AM
@agent86 you have not unearned my snark.
 
@FAE yeah, I've given up hope that I can play Heavy Rain tonight. I'm glad I went with the 2-game plan, so I got to play R&C earlier. Otherwise I'd be putting this playstation thing back in its box and selling it for the win.
 
@agent86 hi
 
@RavenDreamer I will snark you so hard your grandchildren will feel it. They'll be like "granddad, what does 'snark' mean?" and you'll have to explain how much snarking you got snarked.
 
In particular this one:
 
2:57 AM
@psychonic ohhai. seen any good birds lately?
 
Snarkshark.
 
FAE
@agent86 Heavy Rain's a pretty interesting game, though I never played its predecessor. I liked it though. Keep meaning to replay but I haven't yet. Beware spoilers.
 
@agent86 uwish... !bird
 
2:57 AM
@FAE predecessor? I wasn't aware it was a game in a series
 
i heard that Heavy Rain was decent. never got around to playing it
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I saw a twilek before the commercial started. Was she dressed like Harley Quinn?
 
FAE
@agent86 Not a series, but another game from the same company.
 
@RavenDreamer Yes, that's the player character if I'm not mistaken.
 
FAE
They did Fahrenheit (aka Indigo Prophecy in the US)
 
2:58 AM
@FAE ah, gotcha
 
Ha!
Guess there's no YMCA's in space.
 
@RavenDreamer Nope.
 
@FAE have you dug down in your game stack deep enough to start LA Noire yet?
 
Also, there's another one which is a bad parody of Hollaback Girl.
 
cause omg, you have to play that game
 
FAE
2:59 AM
@agent86 As I do not own that one, nay
 
@FAE weren't you the one I was talking about noir and such with? I feel like that was you...
