12:11 AM

well for stuff like call of duty I've noticed that they're tagged call-of-duty and modern-warfare

for example

Yi Jiang

@ickleislands Uh, I think that's redundent

Since every game in the series has it's own tag I'm not sure why you'd need the series tag in addition to the game tag

To be frank I'm not sure if the series tag is needed at all. The first CoD game is called "Call of Duty" though. I think it'll be better to use the tag for that game. We have at least one question on it I think

ickleislands

right I'm going to go and collapse somewhere

I don't like the abbreviation, but Google seems to pick up on it. A search for "civilization 5 gods and kings faith worth" gets that question

@MarkTrapp That was because having the title in his question made it seem too wordy though, wasn't it?

Fluttershy

3:48 AM

@IanPugsley Yeah... I'd suggest /wg/ on 4chan. Like I said, it's generally not as brain-bleaching.

@MarkTrapp I dunno then. I've just always been of the opinion that the tag does all the work, and that if I really feel the need to put the game title in, I'll put it in the question body.... Not the question title. But that's just me.

Yi Jiang

@MarkTrapp Eh, both sides were wrong, just that one was more wrong than the other. I personally see remove the game title as a positive style edit. Positive, that it may be beneficial, style because it's so minor it's almost not worth the effort in doing it unless there's something else that needs editing

user2334

@Fluttershy Sure, I'm of the same mind. But personal preference when writing titles isn't the same thing as insisting the minor edit stay for some policy reason. If gameaddict wanted the game name in the title, there isn't anything anywhere that says "no, you're absolutely wrong"

Yi Jiang

Oh, and rollback wars are never justified. Did I just repeat what all the answers have said?

user2334

@YiJiang All the answers said that: the three mod answers however added that gameaddict was in the wrong for wanting the title in the name because of previous consensus whereas I've been voted down to oblivion for suggesting that having a tag in the title is perfectly acceptable

The ability to dual-wield the same one-handed weapon seems like the most useless ability to have out of all weapon upgrades you can earn to me (golden doesn't count). e.g., If you wanted to dual-wield two SMGs, you'd just buy two different SMGs and equip them each in a hand and you have your "du...

eugh god

i feel like i've been hit by a truck

skovacs1

@ickleislands Go to the hospital and, if appropriate, a lawyer. Getting hit by a truck is pretty serious :P.

ickleislands

lol

no i just feel like it, the intensity of my lungs attempting to purge appears to have increased exponentially since yesterday

coupled with the fact my hair got wet in the rain on the way to work, which annoyed me

skovacs1

@ickleislands This is serious. Wet hair? Who knows what sort of consequences this can have? Depending on the content of the rain water, this could be serious - shave your head and clean your scalp thoroughly. Being annoyed is the least of your problems :P^2.

ickleislands

Shave my head??

Just... lost for words

I am run out of things to review

skovacs1

I can't speak to the difficulties of quitting smoking for many reasons, but I can at least provide some brand of exaggerated snarky remarks (I want to say witticisms, but that feels like I'm assuming that I'm witty which is something I often question)

ickleislands

8:48 AM

I have noticed that since I started trying to quit, I make stupid typing errors where I'm getting words in the wrong order or simply using the wrong word altogether

'I am run out of things' ??

the word 'have' definitely echoed in my head as I typed it

skovacs1

@ickleislands Review in what sense? Study? Criticism? Research? Watching old shows?

ickleislands

noticed in some comments i've made I've said 'am' instead of 'for' and stuff like that

skovacs1

@ickleislands That's actually fine. It seems intentional and is easily understood.

ickleislands

quitting smoking causes dyslexia

review in the sense of 'doing something that isn't work related while at work'

skovacs1

@ickleislands Sounds like research to me, but that's because everything relates to programming.

ickleislands

8:51 AM

@skovacs1 try making a comment like that to my boss

"why were you on youtube all day" > "investigating google's attempted implementation of using HTML5 to stream videos over the internet" > "what?"

bad example since they still use flash

but anything other than 'cake' is beyond her

we have some awesome conversations about shoes but i feel any attempt to talk about something intellectually stimulating results in her brain malfunctioning

skovacs1

@ickleislands "Why were you on youtube all day?" "Listening to it to keep up to date on industry trends and new technologies in the background while I was working on code."

ickleislands

I would never do that

skovacs1

@ickleislands Listening to music in the background while writing code?

Q: Nature's Prophet: Stygian Desolator vs Assault Cuirass

Situation-independently, which of these items are better suited for Nature's Prophet, and why? Stygian Desolator Assault Cuirass Thanks :)

dota-2

ickleislands

yes music is more like it

although I did watch the 2007 all things digital steve jobs vs bill gates recently

that wasted a good hour of my 'mid afternoon' lunch

uh

second-lunch

skovacs1

8:58 AM

@ickleislands I usually work through my lunches and eat at my desk anyways - socializing isn't something I'm doing very actively.

ickleislands

I haven't taken a "lunch" since I started

and normally end up staying an additional hour each day for whatever reason

but then I also have Diablo 3 and WoW installed on my work pc

skovacs1

@ickleislands What conversations could you possibly have about shoes? "There's a sale at shoe warehouse." "Oh. Cool" or "Can I wear slippers on casual day?" "Sure/No" or "As I am not interacting with the public, would it be alright to wear more casual footwear?" "What did you have in mind?/No." "My nice black Rockport walking shoes." "They're formal enough so sure/No," or...I'm really stretching here.

ickleislands

shoes are important

I just place a lower value on them than others

such conversations are rarely in the context of work anyway

and I wear trainers to work

"why do you wear shoes like that to work?" is one of the few work related questions regarding shoes that I've experienced

skovacs1

:5048662 I don't know that reproductive organs are the issue. I'm not terribly attractive and as such have relegated appearance to a lower priority as a lost cause. I understand design and aesthetics as they relate to shoe selection, but there's a limited selection for a men's size 13/14/15 (brand-dependent), especially when I tend to dress in dark/solid colours.

ickleislands

my feet are borderline children's sizes

insert "closer to cooker" comment

heard it before

;p

skovacs1

9:08 AM

@ickleislands I'm not familiar with this form of comment. One sec while I google this.

ickleislands

its one of those 'joke' things

"Woman have small feet to get closer to the cooker"

skovacs1

@ickleislands Thanks. That was somewhat clear.

@ickleislands I'd never heard of this one. I don't get it either.

ickleislands

I know right

skovacs1

Besides, I cook and I don't find shoe size to be terribly relevant.

ickleislands

I can't see it would realistically ever be an issue

I hate cooking too

one of these days i'll either find somebody who can cook for me who doesn't have an issue with me playing more games than they do

skovacs1

9:13 AM

Being tall is actually more helpful as I can more readily access various points of storage and change work spaces more easily.

ickleislands

or i'll wake up and realise this was an unattainable dream

skovacs1

@ickleislands I didn't say I hate cooking. I dislike cooking certain things, but having the right tools is immensely helpful to liking it more. I actually quite enjoy baking.

ickleislands

the 'too' should have probably been a 'though'

skovacs1

@ickleislands I'm now wondering how our play times compare to one another, but I don't foresee such a discussion being very productive.

ickleislands

I already have 300+ hours in Diablo 3, while still doing a full clear of DS on wednesdays, Tier 11 on Fridays, Tier 12 on Saturdays (World of Warcraft) and playing Civilisation 5 at least every other day

skovacs1

9:18 AM

@ickleislands My recent play history is a bad example as I've been having hardware issues with my rig so I obviously cannot compare.

ickleislands

I prioritise gaming over sleep

skovacs1

@ickleislands Who doesn't?

QAppei

morning everyone

ickleislands

@QAppei morning

QAppei

@skovacs1 normal people

ickleislands

9:19 AM

@skovacs1 to the extent where I didn't sleep for 48 hours on Diablo 3 launch day, while still going to work during normal hours

QAppei

which means everyone outside this chatroom :P

skovacs1

@QAppei Checks clock. 3 AM is morning so sure. Greetings.

> I am The Markets and I'm sick of people telling me how I feel. People keep saying I'm 'concerned' and 'confused'. It's not like I'm the one to blame for everything going tits up - guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jun/20/i-am-the-markets

ickleislands

@skovacs1 in fact this will probably sum it up, I took a week off work for Mass Effect 3 and then ended up cracking my legitimate copy (EU) due to it being released a week later over here than in America so I could complete the game before it was released, I didn't sleep until I had completed the game

Last year I did exactly the same with Skyrim, it took me Friday > Sunday to complete it, without sleep

Before that I did the same with Deus Ex HR, no sleep

I have a habit of completing games in one sitting regardless of how long that sitting needs to be

I didn't do that with D3 because it would have been simply unattainable

skovacs1

I tend to take my time. I've done some 72+ hour sessions before, but as I usually take my time to do everything, to min/max characters, collect 1 or even 99 of every item, max out gold, skills and stats, explore every branch of the story with every character to at the very least attain all relevant possibly endings and combinations, one sitting doesn't work out for many of the games I play.

ickleislands

9:26 AM

I will not say something like 'I have completed skyrim'

I have certainly completed the main story, got dragonslayer, and did it in one sitting from start to finish

but did so at the expense of a lot of content

skovacs1

Let me put it this way, I went out of my way for DE:HR to knock out via double takedown whenever possble everyone with a gun in every hub in the entire game without setting off any alarms in order to carry each gun back to the nearest gun vendor and maximize profit.

ickleislands

My first playthrough of DX:HR infuriated me

I had a clean clear with 0 kills

except for ONE

now, you know in the epilogue

before you're rebuilt, you walk into a room that has three guards in it

and they're stood on the other side of a door

you open the door, they shoot you

i got through the entirity of that room, and then agro'd one of them and killed him, thinking that the epilogue wouldnt count

my non-lethal dealing of the 'waiting for the lift' scenario later in the game was excellent

I knocked everybody out and built a wall around the lift with boxes and stuff

skovacs1

In that same game, I also did the same in every enclosed dungeon area, carrying a payload of weapons and ammo throughout the entire dungeon up until when I would leave said dungeon, referring to my value spreadsheet to maximize the return on each thing that I could take out of the dungeon

ickleislands

in my destructive playthrough, I set up mines at all of the entrances and they never even got into the lift room

and while DX:HR is not Deus Ex

It was far better than invisible war was

it felt good playing it, because it had enough of what made the original special in it

albeit watered down

and the soundtrack was really nice

skovacs1

@ickleislands I built a wall around the stairs before progressing through the cutscene so the enemies wouldn't come up. Then I lured the enemies up the stairs, performing double takedowns as they went back after finding nothing. I also carried every box in the entire dungeon right up until the end of the dungeon in every dungeon. Hauling those boxes and crates up that elevator was a pain - multiple trips.

ickleislands

9:36 AM

I really like the mass effect soundtrack too

Is youtube broken atm?

or is my internet traffic being manipulated

yeah building of walls was time consuming but fun

skovacs1

The game would sometimes lose boxes through the elevator or crush me to death and I'd have to reload.

ickleislands

felt like you were beating the game using intellgence

my biggest issue with deus ex was the boss fights

skovacs1

@ickleislands works fine for me

@ickleislands My biggest problem was that it was crashy.

ickleislands

I had major issues with bosses

I never had a single issue with DX

skovacs1

@ickleislands They were mostly dull and uninteresting, but not really a big deal.

ickleislands

9:40 AM

they were a big deal

the game allowed you to do a non-lethal playthrough

yet the bosses required lethal take downs

I got to the first boss with an inventory full of darts

Yi Jiang

Oh Steam, why won't you start? What is it this time?

skovacs1

True. The forced lethality was weak, but ultimately irrelevant. I never used even the non-lethal weapons during my non-lethal playthrough. I only used takedowns and I took everybody down.

ickleislands

my steam appears to be behaving

but I had it open already

since I never turn my pc off

skovacs1

@YiJiang Speaking of which, I should check out the new releases on Steam.

ickleislands

@skovacs1 tranq rifle was HILARIOUS, most accurate weapon in the game

skovacs1

9:45 AM

@ickleislands less XP though and I was min-maxing.

@ickleislands I did use some non-lethal weapons during the ambush at the crash site if I recall though

ickleislands

Second I realised they'd ripped out the RPG system and that you could use any weapon as standard, I stopped caring about XP

did you save malik?

saving malik on a non-lethal playthrough deserves a second achievement imo

skovacs1

@ickleislands It was stupid hard. Many reloads

ickleislands

tranq rifle made it a lot easier because of how accurate it was

only issue was the bots

was=is

I found the game had little to no replayability though

skovacs1

@ickleislands I find the fact that the tanks explode, thus killing enemies near them to be a problem for the non-lethal run.

ickleislands

but I got more than 30 hours of playtime in total out of it so it wasn't that bad

@skovacs1 kiting for the win

skovacs1

9:48 AM

@ickleislands pretty much 0. One non-lethal and one lethal run.

ickleislands

couldn't even really play around with builds, since you ended up unlocking every useful ability by the end anyway

skovacs1

@ickleislands Sometimes during the ambush though, they just clumped too close to it

ickleislands

I dislike my IT department

they've done something to youtube

that allows the site to load but the video generates 'An unknown error occured' message

Forcing me to use a VPN -.-

skovacs1

@ickleislands They took the you out of youtube :P

ickleislands

I'm looking for a very specific song from the game which I really like

but I like 'everybody lies' as well

►

I think the one I'm after is the soundtrack that plays over the epilogue video

one of my favourite cinematics in a game ever

since it felt epic

►

but the actual part of the track I like is the arpeggio

since it is 'close enough' to inspired from the original game but fresh

Yi Jiang

9:57 AM

Oh god, MSE found the Win 8 preview iso on my desktop and is trying to scan it. Grrrr...
