2:00 PM
Look at the message I replied to.
I know my comedic genius is ahead of its time, but still.
 
FAE
>_>
 
@Wipqozn You should've linked the star wars 360.
 
@Fluttershy I was unaware such a thing existed.
I assume it was Jar Jar Binks on it though.
 
FAE
@Wipqozn It's... well, it's a thing
actually it's all R2D2-y
 
2:01 PM
@Wipqozn And the controller is C3PO.
 
FAE
@Wipqozn I still don't like the new body design.
 
I'm sure I will enjoy my unplayed Steam catalog when I'm 85 years old in the nursing home!
 
@Wipqozn And it makes R2D2 beeps and boops when you power it up/open the disc tray.
 
@Wipqozn it's pointy
 
2:02 PM
@Sterno My plan is to catch up on my gaming back log after I die.
 
This song is awesome.
 
That's a fun little piece.
 
@Wipqozn This makes me wanna find the coolest Zelda video I've ever seen...
 
@Fluttershy Do it. Now.
 
2:05 PM
Also, was it this?
@Fluttershy Oh yes. I've seen this before. It's awesome.
 
FAE
@Fluttershy wtf @ top comment o_O
 
hmm, topless sale at my local indie game store. I don't need anything at the moment though
 
@FAE ..?
What comment is this?
Don't see anything unusual.
 
FAE
@Wipqozn It's "who is watching this in 2012" with 82 likes. I don't think I've seen a more desperate attempt at top comment, ever.
 
@FAE Really?
 
2:07 PM
@FAE Oh.
 
You're lucky then.
 
Your opinion of youtubers is much too high.
 
O.o I just saw a trailer for a Seth MacFarlane movie...
 
@Fluttershy I really wish he would stop writing.
Well, in a way he already has, since I wouldn't call anything he does writing.
 
@Wipqozn I take it you're not a fan of Family Guy, or American Dad, or The Cleveland Show?
 
2:10 PM
@FAE those are fairly common on old videos
tried and true comment memes are often top comment
 
@Fluttershy No. Also, they are all the same show.
 
45 people don't like top comments (342 thumbs up)
 
FAE
@BenBrocka haha
Well I try not to read the top comments most of the time, so maybe that's why >,>
 
Many of my videos don't even have top comments :(
 
2:11 PM
@Wipqozn Well, he must've been doing something right, considering the fans got the show back on the air.
 
@Fluttershy Oh my no. Everyone else just has incorrect taste in shows.
 
FAE
@RonanForman o_O @ that guy's account name
 
@FAE Yeah, unfortunate.
 
@Fluttershy Family Guy pre-cancellation was kinda funny, but I was in middle/high school at the time
 
@FAE What? You don't wanna subscribe to PoopPoopFart?
 
FAE
2:14 PM
@Fluttershy haha
 
I should program a Roguelike just so I can refuse to give it support for graphical tilesets.
I hate graphical tilesets.
People that use them for roguelikes are enjoying roguelikes incorrectly.
 
My YouTube history: PoopPoopFart, Zelda Stuff, MLP EVERYWHERE!
 
@Fluttershy You're so cool.
 
T_T
 
@Wipqozn I detect sarcasm.
 
2:17 PM
This is @babp, rainbows make me cry!
 
@Fluttershy Then you'd be wrong.
Because you're pretty awesome.
 
@Wipqozn I'm like Sheldon Cooper when it comes to identifying sarcasm. It's made even worse by text.
 
Anyone here interested in Path of Exile? I think I have one closed beta key to give out
 
FAE
@Sterno that's that other action RPG coming out, neh?
 
Yeah
 
FAE
2:22 PM
@Sterno they advertise as f2p, what do they do for monetization? :o
 
Cosmetic stuff, character slots, and more stash tabs
they say they won't ever do "pay2win"
 
Holy snap[. There ksill tree is huge.
 
Quick question, how did you guys make @Lazers post active questions? I want to do something similar in the movie chat but only got the regular question feed
 
Yeah. I haven't played since about November, and it was smaller then, but still SUPER HUGE
 
@TylerShads you'll want to ask @badp, he manages the feeds in here.
 
2:23 PM
@TylerShads I believe @badp is just an awesome person.
 
@TylerShads it doesn't post active questions, just questions as they're asked
 
@TylerShads you may think it's doing active questions, but it's just slow

Q: How can I stop being ambushed by mummies?

Derpy HoovesI find that I am always ambushed by mummies and my heroes keep getting scared and running away. Is there a certain outfit colour that makes this more or less likely? Or is this completely random?

 
Speaking of @Lazers
 
@Lazers posted 26 minutes ago :)
 
2:25 PM
@badp ah and how did you accomplish that o.x
 
my sexy pants are still on the star list \o/
 
@TylerShads the regular feed will do that
 
I'll need to keep an eye on this game @Sterno. IT looks a lot beter than Diablo 3, which was a huge let down.
 
@Wipqozn Was it as big a letdown as SC2?
 
2:27 PM
@Fluttershy SC2 wasn't a let down though.
At least not to me.
 
@Wipqozn Wait 12+ years, pay $60, receive unfinished product.
 
@Fluttershy ah, I see.
 
FAE
@Sterno What are your opinions of it thus far?
 
I was unaware it was unfinished.
 
@Fluttershy But...but...you get to pay another $60 for the rest of the game!
 
2:28 PM
@TylerShads You mean another $120?
 
@TylerShads Blizzard has stated more than once the other games will be priced as if they were an expansion pack.
 
Anyone up for some LoL?
 
@Wipqozn being let down about Diablo 3 is a little preemptive
 
@RonanForman No.
@IanPugsley I played the beta. It was terrible.
 
@Wipqozn I'll believe that when I see it.
 
2:29 PM
@Wipqozn Right, and I should've said $80, $40 each
 
@Wipqozn So you know that everyone doesn't want to play?
 
They at least kept their promise of expansion pricing for the other two.
 
@TylerShads There you go! That's better. See? They are not milking you for nearly as much money.
 
@TylerShads $40 is still steep for 1/3rd of a game.
 
@Fluttershy At the very least, they allowed you to play all 3 races in multiplayer. I was seriously thinking you could be only Terran across the whole game
 
2:30 PM
@RonanForman I'll play.
 
FAE
@RonanForman sure, I need to patch first
 
@Wipqozn I'm not saying anything about that, I just wouldn't just a book by its beta
 
@TylerShads Yeah, but... If I couldn't practice as Protoss or Zerg in the campaign, why would I play them in multiplayer?
 
@FAE So do I.
 
FAE
@IanPugsley just a book? :P
 
2:31 PM
@IanPugsley The problem is that I'm basing this on the core mechanics, which I doubt are going to change that drastically.
They just simplified it way too much. Leveling was pointless.
 
@FAE going for similarity to saying over actual meaning here :)
 
@BenBrocka Really? I could've answered that question! =( I have 2 of them.
 
FAE
@Wipqozn They did release runes now for skill customization. Still can't level your own stats though.
 
@Wipqozn I can understand the complaint, but it just seems silly to me to call it this early
 
Heh. SE are mentioning our G+ page when talking about the blog.
 
2:33 PM
@RonanForman You gonna get on mumble?
 
@Fluttershy I asked it as a test to see if it gets views >> I figured I may as well answer it quick :P
 
@Fluttershy I can't find my headset. 1 sec.
 
the current pages for "how do I get dragon X" are pretty verbose
 
@Fluttershy if you have a different/better combo or more to add go ahead though
 
2:35 PM
@BenBrocka I don't.
 
wargarbl, stupid download sites for patches and mods. They pretty much all suck.
 
@badp I don't think they've ever evolved past early 2000s usability standards
 
"oh hey I'm sure you want to pay $60 to have premium access to all the files we have to give to you! Including the only one you actually want to get! Otherwise you will need to make a bogus server choice and wait three minutes of bogus wait."
 
I have "fond" memories of downloading morrowind mods. Over dial up
 
This one has made me wait for 3 minutes to get a 500 kB patch.
I've downloaded more ads than that in the process
without a three minute wait or "region choice"
 
2:38 PM

Q: Your download will start in X seconds

NormIs there any reason why many websites - including very mainstream ones such as microsoft.com and sourceforge.net - show a page with "Your download will start in 10 seconds; if you don't want to wait you can use this direct link" instead of simply starting the download? Do they simply not know an...

 
@Fluttershy The campaign doesn't really teach you much about how to properly use the races considering all the extra things they throw at you that aren't in multiplayer
 
The "region choice" was always bullshit
 
@IanPugsley It depends on the reason. IF the problem si the core gameplay mechanics then it's legitimate. I played the beta about 2 months ago, so I highly doubt they've completel overhauled the entire system.
 
@Wipqozn they have changed it, but it isn't even about whether they've done that now, it's about what they could do before release
 
all I need to know about diablo 3 is: a) are there giant flaming axes, and b) can I use them on skeletons?
 
2:43 PM
@BenBrocka I remember doing that with WoW 1.x patches because they always broke :)
 
axe + fire + skeleton = win.
 
@agent86 No, No, and Yes
 
@agent86 what if it's a Burning Dead in the sewers?
and is immune to fire?
 
@IanPugsley bah. I will then have to bring a giant frosty axe as well.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Are you home and wanna play LoL?
 
2:44 PM
@OrigamiRobot You awake yet?
 
ideally it should look really cold and dispense little snowflakes every so often
 
@agent86 what if it's a champion, and is both immune to both fire and cold?
 
@IanPugsley WHAT!
 
WHERE IS YOUR AXE NOW?
 
I WILL DEPLOY MY SECRET WEAPON
 
2:45 PM
@IanPugsley You're working right.
 
FEAR ME, ICE AND FIRE RESISTANT SKELETONS
 
@RonanForman si senor
@agent86 lest they be pelted with Jimmies?
 
@IanPugsley it's a legitimate strategy.
 
FAE
@agent86 Thanks, shall read after this match

Q: How can I breed a Bloom Dragon?

Ben BrockaI want to breed a Bloom Dragon. Which dragons should I breed and how will I know whether I got one? How long are they available?

 
2:53 PM
@fae Well, I was playing a lot earlier in the beta, so I'm not sure how much it's improved. They had act 1 done and part of act 2. It was pretty fun up to about level 35 or so, at which point it got very grindy. But I think part of that was simply that they didn't have higher level content yet, so basically you were playing act 1 & 2 again on nightmare difficulty to continue. Overall the game felt pretty polished. Had a very interesting character build system
They also totally reworked classes and skill trees after I stopped
I plan to give it another go this weekend. It definitely feels more polished than your typical "free" game. And for free, I'd say it's definitely worth a try if you like ARPGs
Anyway, if anyone wants to find out for themselves, I've got one beta key to give.
(I think... pretty sure it's unused)
Actually, I think I have 2 of them
 
3:13 PM
@IanPugsley Perhaps. Either way, I don't plan to pick it up. So long as YOU enjoy it. That's the important thing.
 
That was painful, stupid installer doesn't know what 'paused' means. IT MEANS YOU STOP DOWNLOADING THE FRIGGING GAME!!!!
 
@RonanForman Steam does that too if your internet isn't too fast.
 
FAE
@Sterno Sure :)
@agent86 Mrrrrgh, that drop system sounds... annoying :(
 
@FAE yeah, I was sad about it too :(
I hate those sort of arbitrary time limits
 
FAE
@agent86 Yeah... Mrrrgh. I'm bummed about no party system either.
Though having a The World Ends With You world will hopefully be awesome. I really liked that game.
 
3:27 PM
huh, that Bloom Dragon question is getting views already, not bad
SEO to the rescue
 
@FAE I'll have to play that soon now.
It's been sitting on the shelf for the last two or three years.
 
I have one other you can try if that one doesn't work
 
@Sterno You might want to do this in Steam's chat.
This is kind of really public.
 
@Ullallulloo True, but I've been trying to give it out for an hour and @FAE is the first one to speak up
 
@Sterno what about me :(
1 hour ago, by Wipqozn
I'll need to keep an eye on this game @Sterno. IT looks a lot beter than Diablo 3, which was a huge let down.
 
3:36 PM
@Wipqozn I didn't know that meant you wanted one! Let me dig up the other key
 
@Sterno Oh, do you actually have another key?
I thought you only had one left
Because I was just trolling. Although I would take another key if you had one.
 
FAE
@Sterno Beta access enabled!
 
Hooray
 
I'm in as well
@FAE WE'll need to play together
 
FAE
@Wipqozn Sounds good. :)
 
3:45 PM
goddammit
 
FAE
@Sterno Thank you :)
 
dammit dammit dammit
 
@Wipqozn You should record it too. Hint hint.
 
@badp Something wrong?
 
FAE
@Ullallulloo The NDA's really loose. You're allowed to say you're in beta and talk about publicly available info, just not disclose stuff like numerical values and such.
 
3:46 PM
@Wipqozn TF2 keeps crashing and or freezing
 
@FAE I mean that someone else could take your key.
 
Okay maybe you can't record it then.
 
FAE
@Ullallulloo Ah I see. Well, we're mostly not jerks here.
 
Yesterday I were on dustbowl on defense. I skipped point 1 entirely and set myself up on point 2, where the offense team would normally set up base instead.
 
@FAE I am.
 
FAE
3:46 PM
@Wipqozn Hence why I said "mostly"
 
Actually, no. I'm jot a jerk. I'm an ass. There is a difference.

Flagged for spam
 
3:48 PM
@badp what are you doing...?
 
@Ullallulloo raging.
 
It's a futuristic representation of what happened. It's art, man, art.
although to be really futuristic it should use at least some bold.
 
I call it Rage in Dashes
 
@BenBrocka I call it "4 frames per minute."
 
My title's better
 
3:51 PM
15 seconds per frame.
 
It's a surrealist representation of the struggle of men against the inevitability of time
 
@BenBrocka BS meter: |-------------*| 100% BS!

Q: Frequent connection drops when playing online games (StarCraft 2, Battlefield 3) and behind NAT - how to diagnose?

MoshevI am having some trouble with (I suspect) my wireless router. It's connected to the internet with a regular lan cable and has a static, public IP address. Our two home PCs connect to the router with regular lan cables, plus there's a laptop which connects over wifi. diagram: Internet ...

 
@agent86 How pedestrian of you.
 
@BenBrocka psh, I was lagging out of games before it was cool.
 
3:57 PM
You wouldn't know cool if you froze to death
 
@agent86 I wish TF2 had that. It grows up more the farthest away was the guy that killed you. If the killcam has to travel through walls, bonus points.
 
I remember a Goldrush map fondly, I was a demo man defending, and I think it was a 1 on 1 vs. Dave McClelland.
I stickied above the spawn door, then ran away.
Fought @DaveMcClelland, beat him with the pipe launcher
Stayed on the other end of the map, abused tab screen to watch when he respawned
BOOM
Spawncamped from the other side of the map.
 
FAE
4:13 PM
New Mass Effect MP (free) DLC coming:
 
@FAE Geth do not infiltrate.
 
Steam really need a way to UNrecommend games to friends
disrecommend?
I don't know what verb I'm looking for there.
Tell them it sucks
 
sigh, I hate days when I'm stuck at work waiting for other people to get their damn jobs done
 
@BenBrocka Air Dragon in Metal Arena == Zippo.. Did you get in your off typed dragon bout yet?
 
FAE
@Sterno I have friends who pretty much only use recommendations for that
 
4:15 PM
Also,
KROGAN VANGUARD

Q: Antonym of "recommend"

daGrevisWhat's the antonym of recommend? For example: I recommend that item! I tried to use unrecommend, but the spell-checker throws an error and it sounds stupid as well!

 
@Ullallulloo Discourage
Downplay
 
Dissuade sounds pretty good. Discommend would technically be what it would be it seems.
 
@Ullallulloo Haha, sounds like its going off for a night on the town :D
 
@FAE Also, what? Coming in 4 days?
 
FAE
4:17 PM
@RavenDreamer Apparently.
 
For anyone thinking of buying Hack Slash Loot (I just noticed it was on Steam), LazyShell's post about 2 down in this thread matches my feelings pretty well about why the game is kind of bad.
 
@James you didn't even win bronze?
@Sterno discourage? Decommend!
 
@Sterno I just got it because it was in a bundle.
 
I'm surprised how high the price on it is
 
FAE
@Sterno Argh, gender-locked classes in PoE? :(
 
4:19 PM
@Sterno this is sad. bad roguelikes make baby dragons cry :(
 
@FAE PoE?
 
@BenBrocka I did not even get a result screen unless it was a hiccup in the game
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer Path of Exile
 
@FAE AT the moment, yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if that eventually changes
 
I logged in this morning and could just start a new event, not even see the results of my previous one.
 
4:20 PM
@OrigamiRobot Hullo.
 
FAE
@Sterno I hope it does :(
 
@FAE Not heard of that one
 
@James that doesn't sound right
 
Hmm, My alarm didnt go off this morning either.. maybe I was awake but I blacked out
 
@FAE @Fluttershy What? yawn LoL?
 
FAE
4:22 PM
@Sterno What does "League" mean?
 
Path of Exile skill tree ^
 
Also, I'm a little confused that the new mulitplayer DLC features an "Asari Justicar Adept" considering we already have access to an "Asari Adept" with an "Asari Justicar" skill.
 
@OrigamiRobot We played a game earlier and thought we'd see if you wanted to play. But you were sleeping in.
 
@Fluttershy Durn :/
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah. >.>
 
FAE
4:23 PM
@RavenDreamer yeah, was confused about that too
 
@FAE Game mode, essentially. There's default league. There's "hardcore" league (where if you die, you're dead). And occasionally they do leagues with special rulesets
 
FAE
@Sterno That looks like the skill board from FFX
 
And I think there are "legacy" leagues, which right now are basically "here's where your characters from previous versions of the beta are, so they aren't messing up our testing"
 
@FAE You mean the best skill board?
 
FAE
@Sterno Ah, okay, that's mostly what I was wondering about
 
4:25 PM
@FAE Sphere Grid
 
One cool thing is that if your hardcore character dies, it bumps them into the default league
so you can still play them softcore after that
 
@Fluttershy Was this my only chance?
 
@OrigamiRobot Probably not.
 
FAE
@Ullallulloo Thanks, I was having a brain fart re: the proper name
@Sterno Oh that is neat
 
@Fluttershy @FAE?
 
FAE
4:29 PM
@OrigamiRobot I have to leave now to head to the hospital for visiting hours
 
@FAE I see.
 
@OrigamiRobot I'll be back in a bit and we can play a round if you want. Or we can play Nuclear Dawn or something.
 
I think I'll play Nuclear Dawn right now!
Attempt that is...
 
FAE
later all
 
@FAE Good luck!
 
4:34 PM
@OrigamiRobot what's the playerbase size like?
 
@badp I've only been able to play it once...
 
@OrigamiRobot Gonna be a bit before I'm back. I just sliced my finger open.....
 
@Fluttershy Well, cut that out!
 
@OrigamiRobot Pun intended?
 
@Fluttershy Awww I wish.
 
4:48 PM
Well, I'm back.

@OrigamiRobot Give me like three minutes to eat this burrito and then I'll be ready.
 
@Fluttershy If I can get it to run...
 
@OrigamiRobot lol
@OrigamiRobot k I'm ready. I'm also on Mumble.
