@FAE: Have you played Ticket to Ride, and if so, how is it?
historically, how have we handled game expansions tag-wise?
@IanPugsley I went with adding , since the name is unique
@murgatroid99 samesies, then!
@IanPugsley the white hearts thing should be a more general question
that's actually an item now
@murgatroid99 I was about to ask that
I suspect more than one item/effect will give you white hearts
19:10
@IanPugsley I've seen about 3 or 4 so far
If you ask what a white heart does, I'll answer it
@murgatroid99 done - expanded a little to ask what can give you white hearts, too
@IanPugsley ok, the second part might be tough to answer at the moment, since I haven't seen all of the items yet
@murgatroid99 np - you've got more of a start than anyone, I suspect
hah
I love goldrush scout-spying when it works
@IanPugsley OK, I answered your recent question but I'm not sure how to answer your Fate question
19:16
and this time, it did work
It seems kind of redundant now
@murgatroid99 is wings + half a white heart all it does?
no damage/other mods?
I mean, our spies were getting a massive amount of work done with stabs and stuff and perhaps sentries, but their teleporters? Perhaps, I didn't see it
@IanPugsley I don't know because I haven't gotten it, but I wouldn't be surprised
@murgatroid99 I'll double-check my stats next time I get it
19:17
@IanPugsley ok, then you can answer it
also, if you look at my answer, my new favorite combo is Prayer Card+Battery
@murgatroid99 feel free to, if you happen upon it again before me (I'll be going to a cookout shortly)
@murgatroid99 ugh, that sounds amazing
any idea how it works with ???
@IanPugsley nope, I'm only on my second game since I got WotL
@murgatroid99 I tried maggie and skipped my first item room (going for Samson) and was totally incapable of killing Widow
so I gave up, on my second game now
@IanPugsley I got to the womb and then died with maggie, and now I'm playing with judas because I still need to beat Sheol with him
19:21
@murgatroid99 have you seen the blood rooms yet?
is there anything special about them?
@IanPugsley you mean the ones with the spikey doors?
@IanPugsley I see your question now. I think that will just take some research
1
Q: How to deal with the Diablo Spam?

WassersturmWhat is the best way to hide all the Diablo questions? Gaming has become almost unusable for me. I already added diablo-3 to my ignored tags, but that just changes the colour and does not hide the questions, so there is almost no interesting content reachable.

1
Q: What does the Mitre do?

murgatroid99One of the items the Binding of Isaac expansion Wrath of the Lamb added was the Mitre. When I picked it up I just go the message "You feel blessed" I haven't noticed a change in my shots or anything. What effect does this item have?

0
Q: What does Fate do?

Ian PugsleyI just found a sad/dead blue head (called "Fate" when I picked it up), and now I have half of a white heart (not a soul heart) and wings. What does Fate do?

0
Q: What are the white hearts?

Ian PugsleyApparently multiple items can give you white hearts, like the ones given by Fate. What are these white hearts? What do they do, and what can give them to you?

0
Q: What's different about red chests?

Ian PugsleyIn the new type of room similar to the challenge room, you are hurt whenever you enter or leave (there are teeth in the doorway). In this room, there was a red chest, and the room was styled similarly to the Devil Room. What's special about red chests - how are they different from silver/grey an...

@IanPugsley no, I haven't seen that
hrm - out of two red chests, on dropped Fate and one dropped a homing troll bomb
19:27
@IanPugsley Yeah, I've seen them drop either really good stuff (like two pills) or bad stuff (like that or enemies)
@IanPugsley uh, what's that thing north of you
@badp the baby?
@IanPugsley wat
I mustn't have played in a while
@badp if you mean South instead of North, then you're talking about the blood room (which I asked about)
@IanPugsley Actually, I've never seen that follower before
@IanPugsley also, don't touch the red poo. It damages you
wow, I just got a 99xbombs item
19:47
OMG NEW BINDING OF ISAAC IS INCREDIBLE AHHHHHHHHHH O_O O_O
@spugsley There's a new one?
@Wipqozn the DLC
@spugsley Gah, don't tell me that, my D3 addiction has already eaten up far too much of my time x_x
0
Q: Is there anything special about the blood rooms?

Ian PugsleyTypically, only special rooms are marked on the map (item rooms, shops, arcades, bosses, deadly sins, etc.). What's special about the blood room shown below? I tried hurting myself on the spikes, and nothing happened.

0
Q: How do I unlock Samson?

OrigamiRobotOn the character page, it says I have to "pass on 2 treasure rooms" in order to unlock Samson. If I enter the treasure room, but do not pick up the item, does that count?

0
Q: Why does this door have teeth?

OrigamiRobotThis door want's to eat me! Should I go in? What is this sorcery?

0
Q: Which enemies count for the Right Where I Want You achievement?

skovacs1The Demon Hunter class achievement Right Where I Want You requires you to "Keep a boss snared using Caltrops for 40 consecutive seconds." Since The Butcher, Belial, Azmodan, and Diablo are all act bosses, they would obviously count, but what about the sub-bosses The Skeleton King, Maghda, Zoltun...

0
Q: What does the Childs Heart do?

murgatroid99I got an item called Childs Heart, but it is on the left side of the screen (opposite of where Q items appear) and I can't figure out how to use it. What does it do and how can I use it?

@murgatroid99 harlequin baby, shoots 2 red tears diagonally - he's good!
@murgatroid99 and the orange fire shoots at you
19:57
@IanPugsley really? I have seen orange fire a couple of times and I've never seen it do that
@murgatroid99 yup
also, I just fought Super Gluttony
@murgatroid99 fun
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn Yes. It's a pretty lightweight game in the grand scheme of things. Our group doesn't play it because our host feels like it's not challenging enough. If you want to get an idea of how it plays, it was the subject of a recent Tabletop episode. If your question's in regards to recent release on Steam, I have it on XBLA, though I don't play it often. It's not a super-deep game, but it can be fun.
@FAE Okay, great. Thanks. And yeah, steam was part of the reason. only $10 and online == easy way to play with friends when we can't all get together.
FAE
FAE
20:02
@Wipqozn You've mentioned to me iirc that you like the deeper strategy stuff. I'm not sure this would scratch that itch, but it is definitely entertaining in its own ways.
@FAE I do, but I like playing simplier ones every now and again.
Small World, for example, is really basic, but it's fun to play every now and again when you just feel like some mindless fun.
FAE
FAE
@RavenDreamer and others who are interested: Game Music Bundle #3 is out. Pay what you want for the OSTs for games like Terraria, Plants vs. Zombies, ilomilo, Cardinal Quest, Dustforce, Frozen Synapse, and more.
I like how the Diablo III skin also applies to Wrath of the Lamb
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn Definitely, I very much enjoy Small World.
20:16
Doublechecking: "Does it make sense to buy Wrath of the Lamb if I have trouble with vanilla Binding of Isaac?" would not be an okay question for the site right?
or would it be?
Thanks for heads up, Miss @FAE.
FAE
FAE
@badp Eeeeeh. That seems kind of like "Will I enjoy it?"
@FAE Yeah, but I mean it more like "How does it change the original game if at all?"
sigh I'm looking at the playtest docs for 5th Edition D&D... and it looks exactly like 3.5th edition.
@badp boo
20:17
I guess I should ask that other question
@OrigamiRobot what.
I lack objectivity when it's me who needs the answer
FAE
FAE
@badp Isn't that covered adequately on the Steam page for the DLC?
@FAE No. It doesn't say in what direction does the difficulty go, whether the DLC adds like a separate independent mode to the game, if not if the DLC content can be turned on/off
FAE
FAE
@RavenDreamer No problem.
@badp The latter bit there is something that would be on-topic, neh?
Is it an option at launch? Is it a toggle in the game? Does it just change the game forever?
But it does make me wish my D&D group hadn't imploded.
FAE
FAE
20:18
Whether the DLC can be disabled and such
@Wipqozn playing this on my ipad atm
@Wipqozn the curse addon is very fun :)
@FAE Asking about the difficulty wouldn't?
@RavenDreamer Link?
FAE
FAE
@badp I was more objecting to the "does it makes sense to do this" bit. We can't tell anyone that, only the person asking can decide that.
@FAE eh, I think I've boiled it down to "good" questions though

Q: Do normal tears do increased damage with Chemical Peel?

OrigamiRobotThe Chemical Peel item's text said "DMG UP" and it changed my tears to blood tears, but it didn't change the tear icon. Every so often, I shoot a normal tear. Do only the blood tears get the increased damage bonus?

Q: What does Bloody Lust do?

Ian PugsleyI picked up an item called Bloody Lust, and the effect in the lower right-hand corner was "Rage!". Plus, I get this totally rad headband. I've tried getting hit and I've tried killing enemies, and once in a while, my damage will increase significantly and I'll turn all red. How does Bloody ...

Q: Adjusting fore/background FPS in Diablo 3

MeliniWhat exactly is meant by foreground and backround FPS? How does it work? I have adjusted them and tested the different options but it seems to have no effect on the game itself. I am also wondering what the backround really is. Is it everything that is not my character and other npc's or is ...

Q: I found an item and it went to a weird spot on my screen. Now what?

spugsleyI found an item called Match Stick. After I picked it up, it went to a weird spot on my screen: What makes this item so special that it gets to go to that part of my screen? How do I use it? Are there other items like this?

Q: My Diablo 3 account was hacked and my gold and items were stolen. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

Ian HullWhen I went into my account today all my gold was gone as well as all my undamaged items. Even the items that had been for sale in the auction house were gone. I know that many people are having this issue, but I was wondering is there any way to get the stolen gold and items back?

Q: What do the orange keys do?

murgatroid99I just found an orange key that went on top of my key count. What does this item/pickup do?

Q: Are the chances between the Portable Slots and the Slot Machine different?

Ian PugsleyI just found an item called Portable Slots, which allowed me to use it (with spacebar) any number of times (regardless of charges), but it took a coin on every use, like the normal slot machine. I used it something like fifteen times and only won something about three times, which seems substant...

meh, I'll just ask the "good" questions then
Bless you, @Lazers
@RavenDreamer Thanks.
I do my darndest.
20:22
@Lazers The game's been out for less than two weeks, and hacking seems to be a pretty common occurrence.

Q: How does Wrath of the Lamb change the Binding of Isaac?

badpI'm evaluating whether or not I should get this rather cheap DLC and I've boiled it down to the two following objective questions: Does the DLC change the game forever? Is it rather an option at launch or in the settings screen? I know Steam doesn't normally allow you to 'hide' the fact you hav...

@badp it gives you some nice mint jelly
@James No.
I don't enjoy it enough to justify that price.
It's just fun to play every once and a while.
FAE
FAE
@badp should probably have the tag, no?
20:28
@Wipqozn Ah, hehe, We played Lords of Waterdeep, Epic Spell warz, Dig and Castle Panic yesterday
@FAE fixed
centered around a few bottles of wine and a nice steak dinner :D
was a nice game day
oh Google
(Yes, I googled that because I have no clue what James is saying)
@badp Mint jelly is a common garnish to most/any lamb dishes

Users can edit their own deleted posts?
@FAE doesn't sound absurd
@FAE yes. I did that just recently when I accidentally posted before I finished writing my answer
@OrigamiRobot HEY

Ian PugsleyThis poop appears to have something embedded in it that I really hope is not corn, and some sort of white fly flying around it. What's up with this poop?

Q: What does Spirit of the Night do?

Ian PugsleyI just paid two hears for Spirit of the Night (whose lower-right hand message was "Scary"). Did I just pay two hearts so that I could fly? What does "Scary" mean, and what does Spirit of the Night do?

@OrigamiRobot I sent you a message on steam, you need to leave
@RavenDreamer I refuse to be blamed for your sore wrist. My wrist is just fine :p
Clearly you have a better grasp on how to handle one's bowling balls.
@RavenDreamer clearly I am the master of balls
Whose balls?
Everyone's?

Yahho Mail is absolutely awful. Need to start migrating stuff off that account as well.
@ThomasMcDonald Why do you have a yahoo mail account in the first place?
user30
I needed an account at the start of the year with my name rather than a pseudonym for uni application and stuff. Yahoo was the first one with it available. Since then I flip-flop between any of four emails for signing up to things, since it all ends up in the same client.

Which has now proven to be a disaster since ymail's IMAP authentication is up and down like a yoyo.

Q: Demon Hunter skill Bola

C-dizzleI have a weapon that deals lightning damage and have the skill Bola equipped, does that skill eliminate the lightning damage? I don't see the lightning hitting the enemies like I used to after setting that skill.

@RonanForman Well, I want to know what it is.
I don't have a scanner on me right now, I'll get it scanned soon.
21:58
@agent86 Yeah, we need more Diablo 3 questions.
@Wipqozn exactly. stupid binding of isaac or whatever.
MAn, why didn't they include Kooopa in Mario Tennis Open?
I love Koopa.
Koopa is awesome.
Koopa is a dick
@James So am I.
22:05
@Wipqozn You aren't in Mario Tennis Open either :)
user15026
@Wipqozn You can get a Koopa themed outfit....which is not nearly as awesome
@Raven happy now?
No :( But you did what you could.
What were you expecting?

Q: How can a wizard use a ranged weapon?

AxiomThe wizards in Diablo 3 are happy to pick up ranged weapons but it's not at all clear how to get them to shoot. There are times when I'd rather save my power for a big series of hits after pulling off some of the lesser mobs. How can I shoot my nifty crossbow from a long way off?

Q: What promotions does the Giant Death Robot get?

user26468In Civilization V, what promotions does the Giant Death Robot get? I know Drill, Shock and Sentry, but are there any others?

@Lazers I dislike this question.
@RonanForman Oh, no, you misunderstand. I was implying that I was depressed and that your picture was not enough to lift me from my depressive funk.
user15026
@Wipqozn Right there with you. It is a pretty bad question
22:17
@RonanForman Can you make a crop of that without the text?
@RonanForman That said, listening to all the British accents in the youtube video is very soothing.
Perhaps a heavy dose of silly randomness can cheer you up
@Raven Which one?
@Wipqozn Sure, I'll do I tomorrow.
22:20
@RonanForman Oh... okay...
@Wipqozn I'm sorry it's half eleven and my computer is off.
@RonanForman Understandable.
I'll take a jab at doing it myself.
@Raven Just wait for some more skygrid.
And then tomorrow you can do a better job and make me look bad.
@Wipqozn Deal.

@Wipqozn No flying? Also "cannot" and "Hummingbird". Though green doesn't traditionally have fatty fliers...
@FAE There!?!?! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!!?
I know, but considering it eats forest, Green made the most sense.
Although perhaps black or green/black would be better.
@FAE Who would you say did have fat fliars?
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn If it destroys forests, red would make sense. Red's got a lot of land destruction.
@FAE True! But red doesn't have many birds.
FAE
FAE
22:34
@Wipqozn Neither does green. Red and green are two of the worst colors at flying.
Blue and White have all the fliers
FAE
FAE
Green's specifically got a lot of anti-flying stuff (like Reach)
@FAE hm, that's true.
See, when I pictured the humming bird, I had birds of paradise in my head.
FAE
FAE
@RavenDreamer Black as well, for higher costs, but yes, U and W are the most efficient flyers in general.
Which is, if I remember correctly, a colourless green.
FAE
FAE
22:36
@Wipqozn Colorless? It's Green. Adds 1 mana of any color to your mana pool, but definitely G.
huh, I thought birds of paradise had a cost of 0
What card am I thinking of?
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn Ornithopter?
@FAE Nope. I'm positive it's a bird.
and is considered green, despite having 0 cost.
@FAE I know what card it is, and that isn't it.
I'm 110% it's a green bird, that has a cost of 0.
22:40
We're talking about magic, now?
