you have even less control than minecraft AFAIK.
 
Minecraft makes it very easy to make racist penis levels, just so you know.
The Portal 2 editor sounds neat, but I really don't have very high hopes of anything great coming out of it.
There will be a few people who will make really awesome levels, and the rest are going to be garbage.
 
What the heck is a racist penis?
6
 
@Sterno A level that is both racist, and about penis.
 
@GnomeSlice Exactly
@GnomeSlice Duh
I'm going to buy anything that's shiny and made by Valve and is free
:P
 
I'm assuming you'll need the game for PC as well. I wonder if my father still has that Portal 2 Steam key that came with... something he got.
 
2:04 PM
The hell did I walk into?
 
@Mana Racism and penises.
 
@Mana ANd Portal 2. How they all fit together, I have no idea.
 
Heeheehee
 
user2334
Came here to ask what a racist penis was, question already starred. golf clap
3
 
@GnomeSlice I'm used to walking into racism, and I'm used to walking into penises. But never before have I ever walked into both at once. I am appalled.
 
2:08 PM
@Mana Walking.... into? Keep that to yourself, man...
Not to be racist. Or a penis.
 
@GnomeSlice Nobody ever wants to be a dick, but some people just can't help it.
 
@Mana Welcome to my life.
 
To paraphrase Team America, there are but three types of people in the world.
 
On a related note, apparently this is a thing.

OutOfMemoryException: Infinite Recursion
 
I think the Racial Slur Database is much easier to navigate than those wikipedia ones.
@MarkTrapp Pardon? If that was a joke, I didn't get it, sorry.
 
user2334
Don't apologize to me, apologize to recursion jokes everywhere. They're offended.
 
@MarkTrapp def be_offended(self): self.be_offended()
 
2:15 PM
is the self in self.be_offended() really necessary there?
 
@MarkTrapp You could try to explain it to me...
 
I thought it was assumed.
 
user2334
@GnomeSlice To understand recursion, you must understand recursion.
 
@TZHX Probably not? My Python is really rusty these days. Actually yeah you're right it's not.
 
@MarkTrapp I know what recursion is, I didn't get the rest of the joke(?).
 
2:16 PM
/me hasn't done any python since last July, so wasn't sure either.
 
@TZHX I just wanted to be safe, y'know?
 
user2334
@GnomeSlice "ethnicity can be defined by either race, nationality or ethnicity"
 
@GnomeSlice "ethnicity can be defined by ethnicity"
 
Ah, now I see what you were saying I think.
I got hung up on the computerstuff. oefjlasifjehifuhejkrhefr just ignore me.
 
@GnomeSlice inches mouse towards ignore button...
 
2:18 PM
Also, wat.
 
it's so tempting...
 
Archie Meets the Punisher, or The Punisher Meets Archie, (August 1994) was a one-shot comic book intercompany crossover published under two separate covers by Marvel Comics and Archie Comics, but with the same interior content. It featured the unlikely meeting of Marvel's murderous vigilante, the Punisher, and Archie Comics' all-American teenager, Archie Andrews. The book was written by Batton Lash, with artwork by John Buscema (drawing the Punisher characters) and Stan Goldberg (drawing the Archie characters). Plot The Punisher has made a deal with the government to hunt down a notoriou...
 
user2334
Infinite recursions not properly handled lead to the exhaustion of all memory. And jokes.
 
@GnomeSlice Damn it, the Punisher isn't lethal? I wanted to see him unload a 12-gauge on Archie's smirking face.
 
Game of Thrones is having a video game come out?
Apparently you can pre-order it.
Also, GamersGate is having a promotion on a bunch of 'Feral' games. Up to 50% off‌​, if anyone is interested.
 
2:24 PM
@GnomeSlice it's had several. they've all been quite poor.
 
@TZHX The new one's supposed to be an RPG, I believe. Hopefully that's better than the rest.
 
I can't see that happenning. It'll either a) stick to the story of the books, in which case you're playing something you've already read and seen on tv; or b) use other characters, in which case it's just another generic fantasy rpg.
/me is a pessimistic old fart.
 
@Fredley Your wish is granted.
 
Trippy.
 
did anyone tell @spugsley that there's a binding of isaac expansion coming?
 
2:37 PM
Whoo, Oil Rush and some other naval games are up to 66% off on GG this week, as well!

Q: Diablo 3 Broadband definition

MikeAccording to this we need a broadband connect Diablo 3 System Requirements What qualifies as "Broadband"? Does DSL-3Mb connection count? And what could possibly be the issue with Wireless?

 
FAE
Agh, Spent time on my balcony, now I can't stop sneezing. Obviously I'm allergic to any light that doesn't come from a monitor.
 
What is it with you guys and the binding of isaac? I mean, it's good, but what's so special about it, specifically?
 
I think it's that it manages to blend a roguelike with the legend of zelda
 
@agent86 finally
 
2:38 PM
I find it a bit too freakish for my own tastes, but I played it quite a bit before I gave up
 
@agent86 This is really, really creepy.
@agent86 If you're interested in the arena-style shooters though, let me know. =] I can introduce you some to great, non-creepy ones.

 Gamin' Namin' Discussion

For things that distract from the main point of "Naming for Ga...
Anyway, better move this out of the bridge.
@Mana, can you move those messages?
 
My wife put that up in her office.
 
FAE
@Sterno Your wife is awesome
 
If you vote for me I promise an XKCD strip in every office!
 
@GnomeSlice Sure...once I figure out how to bumble my way through the chat migration tool
I am not being very successful.
@badp How does migrating chat messages work? What do?
 
2:47 PM
@Mana Room > message admin > select messages > relocate
 
@RonanForman How do you know that?
 
@GnomeSlice Game on!
 
Oh, room owners get the ability as well? I thought it was just mods.
 
@GnomeSlice I might also need to own the room I'm moving them to though.
 
 
2:50 PM
@Mana WHOOSH
 
1 message moved from SE Game On!
Ooooh, so much potential for abuse
 
You could like... re-build conversations out of posted messages to make everyone look really dumb.
 
I don't need any help with that!
 
@GnomeSlice It'd say the 1 message moved thing each time.
Actually...
3 messages moved from SE Game On!
Wait...
Crap.
I'm going to stop before I do some real damage.
 
that's probably a good idea.
 
2:59 PM
@RonanForman It says three messages moved, but I don't actually see any.
 
otherwise we'll have to beat you with the cluebat.
 
@GnomeSlice They've gone to the place time stamped on the message.
@agent86 cluebat?
 
@RonanForman erm, most of the definitions I can find are more derogatory than was my intention. Essentially, if someone is doing something senseless, a tool with which you would knock some sense into them might be a cluebat.
I'm also somewhat partial to a beatin' stik. The somewhat coarse/uneducated sound of such an implement is intended to imply its rather straightforward approach to problem solving.
that is, beatin' stuff
 
@agent86 This is also the solution to fixing twentieth century technology.
 
@RonanForman It says 'moved from game on'. Which ones were moved?
 
3:14 PM
Step 1: Is technology working? If yes, success! If no, continue to Step 2.
Step 2: Locate point on piece of technology. Apply percussive force. Is technology working now? If yes, success! If not, proceed to step 3.
 
@GnomeSlice Does it really matter?
 
Step 3: Increase percussive force. Return to step 2.
 
@RonanForman Yes. Is there some kind of indicator I'm missing that shows which messages have been moved after a migration?
 
There's a little arrow next to it.
 
@RonanForman That's why I'm confused... I only see the one, but it says 'three'.
 
3:18 PM
@GnomeSlice You wont find them, the messages are from weeks ago, and have been placed in the bridge's transcript as such.
 
Oh, they get moved to the same time in the other room?
 
18 mins ago, by Ronan Forman
@GnomeSlice They've gone to the place time stamped on the message.
 
@RonanForman Yeah, I don't see any 'place' timestamped on the message, that wasn't very clear.
ANYWAY.

Q: Who has my axe?

AnnaIn the Stocks screen, I can see that there is an axe somewhere. It's not forbidden, but my woodcutter won't pick it up. Is there any way to see where it is?

 
How do you get something to show up as a key, like in this answer?
 
@GnomeSlice <kbd></kbd>
 
@GnomeSlice You realize you could just go to edit the answer to see all the markup for it, right?
 
@StrixVaria ...No I didn't think of that. Ergh.
Why 'kbd'?
Oh, 'KeyBoarD'.
 
3:52 PM
@Lazers the only real answer to this question is "you"
 
@agent86 "And my axe!"
 
user15026
I always hate when I see a nice rep jump
 
user15026
and realize it was just someone upvoting stuff for an entire tag
 
@YiJiang highfive
 
Internet, why you being so slow?
Or computer, whatever it is.
 
3:59 PM
@AshleyNunn Hate?
 
Point is I'm trying to watch MLP on my break. This slowness makes it difficult.
 
user15026
@YiJiang Yeah - if someone is just going along a tag and upvoting all the questions.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn This strikes me as a good way to spend a break
 
...You people don't know what it's like to actually have 'slow' internet.
 
@Lazers Ugh, what happened to this question?
Why does it have 5 mediocre answers saying the same thing?
 
user15026
4:04 PM
@GnomeSlice I have some idea - I grew up on dialup
 
MY current 'high speed' is only slightly better than dialup, and it slows down even more very often for no apparent reason.
 
@YiJiang it's a softball, somewhat ambiguous/speculative question
 
@GnomeSlice 14.4baud mmm yeah :D
And as the green text does not melt away its going to be another chat frustrating day.
 
@agent86 A little perhaps, but hmmmm
 
@YiJiang yeah, it's not terrible enough to warrant immediate closure, imho, but it's an odd duck of a question. quack.
 
user15026
4:10 PM
It strikes me as an overly simple question.
 
New Fluttyshy is best fluttyshy.
That is to say I'm watching Putting Your Hoof Down. I love this episode. One of my favourites.
 
@James Video!
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I m not at that ep yet but I am looking forward to it like whoa
 
@AshleyNunn It's really awesome.
What episode are you on @AshleyNunn?
 
@RonanForman Oooo I am up to 226 viewers :D
 
4:17 PM
@James ??
 
@Wipqozn I am pretty awesome, aren't I?
 
@Fluttershy Yes, yes you are.
 
FAE
@Wipqozn scribbles fanfic notes for @Mana
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I just watched "The Last Roundup"
 
@AshleyNunn The edited version? Or the uncut version?
 
4:18 PM
@FAE Thanks, I'm watching GUNDAM so I'm preoccupied.
 
@James Which video?
 
@Mana Which Gundam? There's like... a bajillion of them.
 
FAE
@Mana No problem. :3
 
@Fluttershy 00. I'm enjoying it a lot more than SEED so far.
 
@Mana Gundam Wing was my favorite. =3
 
4:20 PM
@Fluttershy I got about 7 episodes into that one and then got distracted; it'll be probably be my next undertaking.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Uncut - with proper Derpy
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn That's the most recent one I've watched too!
 
@Mana It starts off slow, but gets to be amazing. I'll let you go back to watching 00 now.
 
@Mana You should take on My little Pony next.
 
@AshleyNunn Good, good. I was fortunate to find The Friendship Express DVD that had the uncut Derpy on it.
 
4:21 PM
@Wipqozn Shut up.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Awesome :)
 
@RonanForman Haha, viewers, not views.. and sorry my chat is not working well, I get everything in spurts. Can you send me the links to the second video outro and fixed intro and Ill render up the video tonight..
 
@Mana I'd grab the "U Mad?" fluttyshy picture, but I'm far too lazy.
 
user15026
@FAE Very cool. I watched a pile over the weekend. It was fun.
 
@RonanForman Also if you could send any other outros Ill do those as well and just leave them in waiting :)
 
4:22 PM
@fbueckert At least it isn't coming out at the same time as any other popular RPGs.
 
@bwarner Just checking, since you're in here; is my answer to this question too spoilery?
 
@Mana Robotech.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Yay MLP binges! Jochem says that he finds it impossible to feel bad while watching that show. He said "I swear, I watch like half a dozen frames and then I end up with a stupid smile on my face"
 
@Fluttershy I don't think so, I read the hint and haven't had a chance to try it, but I think it is probably at the right level.
 
user15026
4:23 PM
@FAE Yeah, it is impossible to be sad when you watch it. So I watch a lot of it right now.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn \o/
 
@bwarner Alright. The actual spoiler answer should have everything you need, should the hint not suffice.
 
@FAE oh my snap I just got what that stood for.
All the other times I've seen it posted I've just been like herpin' and derpin'
 
@James That's quite a few subs, I'd be interesting to see your analytics.
@James Also I scared you at 2:06 for reference.
 
4:27 PM
@GnomeSlice I already watched Robotech!
 
@RonanForman Aye, People have been enjoying a series of minecraft videos I have done for a mod.
 
@James That's the problem with being a group of people, we tend to move slower than the individual.
 
@RonanForman Kewl, wrote it down on a post it.
 
Maybe if I try and amass subs on my channel I can slowly funnel them over.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn O.O You don't know how awesome I find that. If only I wasn't in class all day....it would so be my soundtrack all day
 
4:29 PM
Also can you put the UHC vids on our channel, it makes it easier to dothe annotations and things.
 
Diablo 3 installer unlocks in less than 7 days...
 
@AshleyNunn You're welcome.
 
@RonanForman youtube.com/analytics/… Not sure if that works for everyone or not but thats where I see the overall stats of my channel.
 
@bwarner psh, we only deal in seconds until launch here. Where's @StrixVaria for our up-to-the-second countdown?
 
@James I can't see it it seems.
 
4:33 PM
Oh, @mana, do you plan on writing a Wipqozn/Wipqozn fanfic as well?

Q: Where does the term "gib" comes from?

KappeiEspecially while talking about FPS, the term "gib" is quite common. While I get it's related to a sudden and gruesome death, I'd like to know its actual meaning and where it comes from.

Q: How do I "shoot and kill 5 rabbits" for the Sharpshooter challenge?

Paul BreezeI have been wandering around (which is extremely fun to do in Red Dead) for about 20 minutes now and I have yet to come across a single rabbit. Is there a specific region I need to be searching?

 
@Wipqozn We've been over this already, you write that one yourself multiple times a day.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy I don't know if you ever watched Dr. Horrible, but OMG this Fluttershy tee is amazing: welovefine.com/2257-phd-in-adorableness.html
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn OMG that's so cute D:
The cute has asploded my brain
 
user15026
4:36 PM
@FAE Oh dear gets a mop to clean up the asploding
 
...This is hot.
Make sure you write this down in your fanfic notes @Mana.
 
@RonanForman As I mentioned before I am going to put them on my channel to give them exposure man. I am not sure why you keep asking :)
And silly people walking into my office disrupting my day. Sheesh!
 
@AshleyNunn Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog made me sad.
 
@James Aren't they unlisted? How will that get exposure?
 
user15026
@Fluttershy It made me cry all over the place.
 
4:37 PM
And I don't think I got that message.
 
@RonanForman Yeah I was not sure if analytic information was public or not.
 
@Wipqozn Brain exploding is a new setup, I have to admit, but in the brave new world of Bridge fanfics nothing's off limits.
 
@RonanForman They wont be.
 
@James Ah.
 
@Mana Excellent. tortoise shades
 
4:38 PM
@RonanForman Hehe, That is the same response I have had the last couple of times you have asked :)
 
@James Why do I not remember this?!?!?!?!
 
Also, I'm loving this Animal crossing music site. Animal Crossing music is rather delightful to program to.

@Mana In the Bridge, there are no rules..... XD
 
@AshleyNunn Except for Rules 1 and 2.

@Wipqozn headtilt ?
 
4:40 PM
Don't talk about the Bridge, and Don't talk about the Bridge.
 
@RonanForman I do not know, which is what I said before :)
 
@James You're messing with my head!
 
My word. WZMR has renamed themselves since I last visited.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Ah.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I'm eager for the sequel.
 
user15026
4:41 PM
@FAE I hope it is all kinds of awesome. I have high expectations.
 
swoosh
 
@RonanForman Haha, If I was messing with your head it would be much more obvious... and I wish chat would just work right again.. Ugh!
 
@Wipqozn This makes me want to run a Zelda marathon similar to the Mario Marathon....
 
@Mana I never did. I played the game... but never got a chance to watch it.
 
@GnomeSlice loser
Sorry, that was mean.
You're not a loser.
 
4:49 PM
@Mana The starred messages list says otherwise.
yesterday, by Mana
@GnomeSlice is a loser.
 
You're both.
 
@GnomeSlice Yah, but that Mana guy is a jerk.
 
@Mana Quantum loser.
 
@agent86 655593
 
@StrixVaria that's better.
we're almost to half a million seconds left!
because this is how Oregon Trail should be played.

Now that we're under 1 megasecond I'm treating the first 2 digits of the number as a percentage.
We've only got 65% of the last megasecond left!
 
naked, shivering in the back of the wagon full of bullets and nothing else
 
It's really awesome because the percentage changes relatively frequently.
It's PROGRESS

5:07 PM
@RonanForman I do not remember man. I was underground, surrounded by stone, and then my framerate took a dive and my hdd was full.

@James pssh, back in my day, we just used real water.
 
5:33 PM
@Ullallulloo Haha, I told the person who sent me that 'You know I had that when I grew up too, but no one but me could see it' :D
 
FAE
5:45 PM
@James That is so awesome
 
@FAE I would so play with that for hours.. I still go to the beach to build things in the sand whenever I can :)
Oooh! It sent the message with out me reloading! Yay!!
 
@Mana You're my hero maaaaaaaaaan :')
 
@badp ;_; I've waited all these years to hear that from you. Thank you badp.
 
@Mana modhug
 
d'awwwwww
 
FAE
5:54 PM
@badp More fanfic fodder!
 
The modhug is like the brohug but 20% more awkward.
 
Someone else wanna weigh in on this:
I can't see the question now, but I gather that the content is included with the game but inaccessible unless you tweak something. In what world is accessing content included with something you paid for piracy? The developer/publisher's intent is completely irrelevant. If DRM is involved, breaking that might be relevant. If the EULA excludes access to that content, that might be relevant. But I don't see anything resembling piracy (again, without knowing the content of the question and just inferring from what's here). — Matthew Read 10 mins ago
 
FAE
Though I've actually given @badp a hug.
 
and she lived to tell the tale!
 
I said:
@MatthewRead - When you buy a game, you are buying a license to use the software. The "DLC" is a separate license. Gaining access that content without purchasing a license is piracy. — OrigamiRobot 3 mins ago
 
5:57 PM
@OrigamiRobot that basically sounds right to me
 
@murgatroid99 He is arguing and I don't have time to debate.

I had to be like, the main character.
And I am certainly not an actor.
Just looking at my youtube channel.
Oh man, it was so terrible. I did the editing, don't blame me.
 
@strix which wish?
 
Do I have to watch it?
 
@RonanForman No, lol.
 
6:53 PM
Phew.
 
I was so awkward during most of the scenes in that.
I was the only guy in the group so... I had to do it.
 
Why did not warp stabilise?
 
@RonanForman ...Pardon?
 
To remove the shaky cam.

They only did one take of most of the shots, so given that I had very little to work with, I think I did a good job of the editing.
