@Wipqozn That is an amazing typo

Wipqozn

It's a list question would need to update everytime anew piece of DLC is released.

That's it, I give up. Next thing I'm going to do when I wake up is to revert all the changes I changes I made through git and do something else...

@Wipqozn Your typo. I love it.

@Wipqozn That Q is awful, and the top rated answer is just a sea of links. Very low quality

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I'm a hero.

@FAE ^

@JohnoBoy Indeed.

So, that question needs two more close votes. Please help us kill it.

@Wipqozn you mean 1 more :)

Anyone here own any Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games on PC, steam, SEGA collection or otherwise?

@JohnoBoy Some Sonic and Ecco the Dolphin on XBLA

also a Sonic collection for Gamecube

user15026

@JohnoBoy I have a sonic collection for Gamecue

4:12 PM

@AshleyNunn I think I have the same one!

user15026

I mostly play Dr Robotniks Mean Bean Machine XD

@FAE Looking for PC specifically. But do any of these version offer real time save?

user15026

@FAE Woah. :D

@AshleyNunn I played sooooooooo much of this when I was a kid on Sega Genesis.

user15026

@FAE It is so fun!

4:12 PM

@JohnoBoy I saw your question. I... can't remember, I don't think so but I'm not sure.

I know the Ultimate collection for PS3/XBLA does, dunno about PC one though

@FAE It isn't my Q though, just gave an answer AFAIK

@JohnoBoy Ah gotcha.

user15026

@FAE Yeah, I don't recall if it does or not

user15026

I would check if I wasnt rocking the sick in bed thing today

My Wii's not hooked up at the moment for me to check the gamecube version

@JohnoBoy I get to fight a bear!

I also love the mid-run-assassinations near the end

@JohnoBoy This makes me wish I played these games.

Q: Are alternate (more costly) weapons always more effective than base loadout weapons?

@AshleyNunn You can get away with playing only 2 and Brotherhood :P

user15026

@JohnoBoy They;re too much fine motor for me

In Tribes Ascend, each class has a base loadout of a primary and secondary weapon, as well as a "belt item" and other equipment. There is an option to purchase (with in-game experience or real-world currency gold) an alternate gun, belt item or what not. Are these alternate purchasable options ...

So when is the first Diablo 3 launch (in UTC)?

Ian Pugsley

@bwarner good question...

Q: PC lags like hell when i alt-tab from starcraft 2

Looks like there are only 3 regions. Americas, Europe, and Asia. And Asia unlocks at midnight in UTC + 8. So 4 PM UTC, which is when the installer unlocks. Makes sense I guess.

So we're open season for Diablo 3 questions as of the installer unlocking.

this hasn't happened before I upgraded the system to service pack 1 and installed lastest graphics driver and sc2 updates. I don't know which of these caused it... anyone else experiences this issue?

starcraft-2 windows-7

And we'll find out tomorrow whether or not we got chosen in the giveaway.

How does that usually work, by the way? Do we get confirmation via email or something?

@fbueckert Yes, you'll get an e-mail, and they might also post a list in the meta thread (at least for the mini-contest).

5:11 PM

@bwarner Thanks. crosses fingers I really hope I get picked. My first grant and all that.

@fbueckert Just to warn you, you might not find out until like early next week. They're not always super prompt in notifying winners

Particularly right before a weekend

@fbueckert In the past you've had pretty good chances, but I suspect that there is a lot of competition for this one. So maybe only 10% chance or so.

@Sterno I can't imagine them missing the release date of Diablo 3. I think they know better than that.

@bwarner Still much better than a big ol' 0% I would've had without the grant.

I'm pretty sure I've gotten notified about grants pretty much immediately.

And I suspect that the deadline this afternoon is to make sure they can get copies order for release date.

Obviously the mini-contest won't be ready for release date, since it ends only 8 hours before the installer unlock.

The mini-contest looks like it's going to have fairly stiff competition for the three copies.

5:15 PM

11:59pm UTC is... When American time? <.<

7PM Central.

@Fluttershy Which American time?

@fbueckert 6 PM Central actually.

@bwarner Central. But @fbueckert already nailed it slightly. =P

@bwarner Daylight savings time. :P

(UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)

5:16 PM

@bwarner Is that CST or CDT? =P

@bwarner You're probably right. I'm thinking of contest wins, not grant wins

We're an hour ahead right now. Gogo meaningless time alteration!

@fbueckert Ah, you're correct. I thought Windows adjusted the UTC notation for that, but apparently not.

Though I just looked. ME3's game grant ended March 2

I got the email about it March 5

Which was the following Monday

So that means the installer unlocks one hour before the Asia launch.

5:19 PM

@Fluttershy So no missing the target at all. :P

@Sterno Which is why this grant ends on a Thursday. =)

Excellent! I thought it was tomorrow.

A: Is there any original Sonic the Hedgehog 1 version featuring unlimited continues or save/password system?

ugh

-1

You do not need save games. There is a cheat you can use to go to any level you want. I think it was something like: Wait until the start screen (where Sonic shows up in this ring) and input this as fast as possible: up, down, left, right, A + Start (at the same time) Please look it up, as it...

@Sterno Nope, just 6.5 hours left.

OrigamiRobot

@Ullallulloo Yes the comma. It is so useless.
