It looks like what they were trying to do with the bazaar bargain, but not terrile.
 
@StrixVaria I LOVE YOU right now
you and Jin
 
It looks like it anyways. Hard to say without knowing more about focus.
and now he's editing his meta post back and back.

Q: Why wont Splinter cell Double Agent save my game properly?

mrminecraft3000I am have been playing splinter cell double agent. I got past the escaping prison mission and saved jamie. I am got to the next mission and saved it. When i went back on i had to do the prison thing allover again. Does anyone know why this is happening. I have checked the save profiles but they d...

Q: Should I let corrupt vessel turn into thralls to get more loot and ex?

Ilya MelamedCorrupt vessels are much easier to kill before they become tormented thrall, they don't move, they don't attack and they have less health. The thralls are harder to kill because they move, hit and have more health. But, do the thrall compensate for it by giving more experience and loot?

 
I think it's best to just ignore this guys meta. There's obviously no reasoning with this guy.
Maybe after he's calmed down he'll be able to listen to reason, but it's obvious he's not willing to right now.
 
It's been days already, he needs more than time
 
8:14 PM
@ickleislands Then he never listens.
The point is that we've told him the rules, and he obviously doesn't care.
 
Not happy about being called a troll by an obvious troll
 
nothing productive is going to come from talking to him anymore.
So it's best to just ignore him.
 
Oh I was thinking rollback war until he leaves but ignoring works as well I guess
until next time
 
Wow. I go for lunch, and all hell breaks loose.
I can't you kids anywhere!
 
@fbueckert Yeah, we're all criminals.
 
8:16 PM
I wouldn't call it hell
 
Hell isn't loose, we've contained it on meta
 
I really wish Friday would get here so Meet The Pyro would be released.
 
@agent86 inb4 "my thread was locked, stop harassing me"
 
@agent86 Can you edit the title back now that it's locked too?
 
So all this over a thanks huh
 
8:18 PM
 
@tiddy Without protocol we have nothing.
 
Well, knowing the kingdom is being protected is all I need
 
@NiQAlasT The Chernoff one is a little bit freaky.
 
8:24 PM
There is also a policy about rolling back posts after the OP has rolled back edits. The general rule is to downvote (if you must) and move on; a "Thanks" isn't hurting anyone. Source: I said this once and Jeff agreed (before Meta.SO existed). — mmyers 5 mins ago
 
OH HI
 
hello there sir
 
@Wipqozn yes, and I covered this in my recent meta post (eerily similar to this one)

Q: How can I flag people vandalizing my question with rollback edits?

gameaddicthttp://gaming.stackexchange.com/posts/73406/revisions They keep removing the game's name from the title which is absolutely essential for the question to make any sense.

even if you think you're right, NO ROLLBACK WARS DAMMIT

@agent86 Exactly.
 
I will break out the stern-gaze-o-tron 2000
and stern gaze you all into submission
 
8:26 PM
@agent86 This needs all the stars

Q: Old schoold adventure game

user1165499I'm looking for an "old school" adventure game from my childhood and I just cannot remind what was name of that :). The only thing i remember is that, further in storyline, protagonist was traveling into mountains and you needed a ham to go there and cloak. That is really old game, something arou...

 
However, to keep us old guys from feeling old, try to refrain from calling '95 "really old" :) – Jason Berkan
think I should mention I was born in '93? :p
 
@ickleislands Little late for that.
 
@ickleislands no. and get off my lawn.
 
lol
ok I'm really confused
I made a post on meta and it's not in the newest questions list and doesn't turn up in search
oh nvm, I guess its just a bit slow
 
yeah, it's all heavily cached and so on and so forth.
 
8:32 PM
'93? Wow. Don't hold me to this, but I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to have opinions until you're out on your own and crying yourself to sleep.
 
What is better for a dh in diablo 3 a crossbow or a bow?
 
@tiddy that's awfully ageist, but if I'm not allowed an opinion then I am f****d.
 
People born in 1994 can vote.
 
@tiddy Why is crying yourself to sleep a requirement? So long as she's holding down a job, paying bills, and living on her own, that should meet most of the responsibility requirements.
 
@ayckoster they're both usable, but a socketed crossbow with a green gem will probably yield higher DPS in conjunction with Archery and Sharpshooter than a bow with a socket
 
8:34 PM
Where is the sarcasm indicator again?
 
@fbueckert job - check, bills - check, living - yes
 
@ickleislands But living on your own?
 
@fbueckert 99% of the time
 
@ickleislands: i currently have socketed crossbow with 950 dps
 
@ayckoster and what I said would mean that if you had a bow with a socket and 950 dps, that with the archery and sharpshooter passives you would get more dps out of the crossbow
 
8:35 PM
@ickleislands Then you have met my requirements. You may have your own opinions, young padawan.

Q: Does the Bullseye do anything?

SternoI just came across an item called the "Bullseye", which uses the Accessory slot on a character. The description of the item is "There's no good reason for any person to EVER equip this." Indeed, it does not seem to affect my stats in any way. Does it have any hidden effect, such as making the ch...

Q: Tag merge request [jungle] -> [league-of-legends]

ickleislandsAs part of the Great Arqade Clean-up can we get jungle merged into league-of-legends please? All questions against jungle now only relate to league-of-legends at this time. If during the process of burning these tags you notice that most of them are all attached to questions about one game (i...

 
@ayckoster but without sharpshooter the story would probably be different
 
hmmm...
so either constant dps or burst huh?
 
@ayckoster yeah, it's pretty much down to the socket + archery bonus for weapon type. Cross bow is crit damage and bow is +damage%
 
@tiddy I don't think the crying yourself to sleep happens until after you can legally buy booze.
 
8:37 PM
so the less you crit, the more valuable a bow is
@RESPAWN that's 18 in the UK
 
@ickleislands D'oh. Forgot about that.
 
16 in germany if you like beer :)
 
@RESPAWN I don't drink anyway, I only do one bad thing :P
 
I really hope it's not "Murder people"
 
Wait. Who said drinking was bad!?
 
8:38 PM
No, it's smoke inhuman quantities of weed
 
I love me some alcohol
 
Ah. Naad Plants, yes
@ickleislands and you should really start vaping
/TOTALLY INCONSPICUOUS WINK
 
@ayckoster and wine
 
@tiddy wink wink
 
Im serious though
 
8:41 PM
SMOKE TREES
 
@tiddy I totally didn't mention anything about how I smoke it ;p
@LessPopMoreFizz how come you didn't dispute the deletion of that tag in the thread that indicated it should be deleted?
 
is there an index with all possible affixed for diablo 3?
 
Sorry I was taking clues from the word "smoke"
 
i have this diablo 3 series book but the tables are bs.
it tells me that you could find an amulet with 50 mf etc.
and you could possibly get over 100% base crit
 
user2334
@fbueckert That's not my position at all. I only down vote crap. It just happens to be that 1 rep users post more crap than most people
 
8:47 PM
@agent86 @LessPopMoreFizz @bwarner @MrNovember you get your headset yet? Trying to figure out how to return it; don't have an order number. The Amazon CSR I talked with was useless and Lauren just said "all the headsets were ordered ahead of time and shipped from our office, so there is no order number". Did one of you get a box with the order number in it?
 
@MarkTrapp Sorry. Shouldn't be attributing stances to other users.
 
user2334
de nada :P
 
@MarkTrapp Fair enough. :P
Check out my crochety old man "Get off mah lawn!" meta post.
 
user2334
You show me something good a 1 rep user posted, I'll up vote it. I haven't found a 1 rep answer in a long time that was good, but I'm fairly sure I up voted a few 1 rep questions in the past couple of days
 
@MarkTrapp apparently 21 days ago I posted something that somebody liked
 
8:52 PM
@fbueckert You know, I realized I'd grown up the first time I actually thought about telling one of the neighborhood kids to get off my lawn...
 
@NiQAlasT yeah, I got mine, and I haven't found a way to rid myself of it besides eBay'ing it. I'd like to get one that works with my console as well.
I tried taking it to WalMart, where they typically take anything, but they wouldn't take it back since they didn't sell it in the store.
 
@RESPAWN That happened to me this winter; the neighbors have been using my back yard as a convenient path to get to the convenience store.
I was annoyed, and then I was like, "Wait, what? Why am I so bent out of shape about them going through my yard?"
So now I'm just mildly annoyed that they won't shut the gate behind themselves. :P
 
@agent86 you ask Lauren at all? I'm baffled by her "there's no order number" as they obviously bought them in the first place; and AFAIK you can return individual items from an order.
 
@NiQAlasT naah, I figured they ordered them long before the contest even started, and I don't much like to publicly look a gift horse in the mouth (although I'm doing it now, sigh)
 
@fbueckert My biggest complaint is that they love to leave their toys in my yard. Balls, bicycles, scooters... you name it and I've found it in my yard
My yard doesn't look great, but i don't need them trashing it up!
The weeds do a godo enough job of that
 
8:55 PM
@RESPAWN When I first moved in, I got home from work one day, and there was stuff everywhere.
 
@RESPAWN Knife/sawzall/plasma torch it in half then throw it back in their yard
 
It was like a kid exploded in my front yard.
2
 
@agent86 w/e.
 
Well If a kid happens to explode in your yard, leave the mess as a warning to the others
 
@NiQAlasT indeed.
 
8:56 PM
@ayckoster gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/70529/… Have a look at the incgamers chart if that's what you want. Also, when you said 'affixes' I thought you meant elite affixes at first (we do have a comprehensive list for that one)
 
@NiQAlasT Well I did put one of those big wheel things on top of my trash can one time after i found it sitting behind my car. I think they got the point.
 
The strange thing is, I gathered it all up, and propped it up against a planter.
No one claimed it.
 
have a good sized tree? should tie the stuff way up in it
Comments on arqade.com blog post:
“the spaceship”
I didn’t see that at all. To me it looks like an Indian palace.
 
@agent86 your lock means nothing to me!!!!
 
@NiQAlasT Haha. I think it's supposed to be reminiscient (how the hell do you spell that?) of the ship from Galaga
 
9:02 PM
@QAdp yeah, yeah, you're a rogue. if this boils over later, I'm blaming you.
who am I kidding? I'd blame you anyway. :D
 
Anyone see last episodes of Korra? Thoughts?
 
It is very simmilar to Aang

Q: Bosses no longer dropping rare?

Tapan ZeePrior to the 1.0.3 patch, defeating an Act boss pretty much guaranteed at least 1 and usually 2 rare items to drop. After the patch with the same build as prior to the patch I am now finding that they do not drop rare items at all. Is this a bug in the reworking of the drops or intentional to try...

 
@NiQAlasT No idea what's left for subsequent seasons to cover.
 
9:08 PM
wondering if is going to go into WalkTheEarth mode
Regardless of where it'll go next season, it was a fairly good conclusion
@skovacs1 My only two complains are that there wasn't enough killing (it seems like blood benders would hardly be averse to it), and it's not realistic in that the people seem to have zero tolerance for leaders' hypocrisy. The murder-suicide was a nice touch though :P
 
@NiQAlasT Absence of killing fits context (targeting younger audience) so the little death there was is more surprising. Reactions were less plausible, but the reasons made sense. For a bender to rid the world of all other bending, fashioning himself as a god of sorts is hardly acceptable and to have it proven built on a lie only begs the question of what else was being lied about - trust was lost. The unrealistic part of the reaction is that the people were so quick to jump ship.
 
@RESPAWN someshow it reminds me of a sock... I think it would look better on a darker bg
 
@skovacs1: Easy she has to regain the old elements and she still has to use avatar mode
 
9:23 PM
@ayckoster She did? Did you watch to the end?
 
ah yeah right..
but that was not avatar mode was it?
i mean where she can fly n stuff
 
@ayckoster glowing eyes, seeing previous avatars? I'd say yes
 
perhaps they will invent a new enemy like in dragonball.
 
@skovacs1 Yeah, first bit was tongue-in-cheek :P Presumably the people knew he was a bender of some sort anyways in the first place and I'd think there would be some sort of "ends justify the means" mentality
 
first piccolo, then vegeta, then freeza, then cell etc.
 
9:26 PM
Comparing Korra to DBZ...ummmm
 
or there could still be riots and the 4 nations split again
no i use DBZ because this phenomenon of "there is always a next stronger opponent" is very clear
 
@ayckoster Maybe an anti-avatar? Perhaps Asami turns evil (you know they hinted at it)? If it goes into relationships and all that à la teen angsty smallville or whatever hip super-power drama you want to draw a correlation to, I think it will suffer for it. Like I said, I don't know what they'll do next. It seems they didn't leave themselves much rope.
 
Yeah, but I give the writers more credit than to assume they'll just make the next arc about enemy X who has more power than the main character who just defeated enemy Y....
 
@fbueckert just ouch.
 
9:34 PM
I'm all for suggested edits that improve my answer. That, though...is nothing near that.
 
@fbueckert ROFL

Q: Permanent Shroud of Darkness debuff

verI'm playing on elvishly easy with permadeath. At least since the 3th or 4th floor, almost every time I encounter an enemy I get debuffed with the Shroud of Darkness. I'm at level 7 now and the situation hasn't changed. It is really unpleasant, since the effects stack and most of the time I can't...

 
I have never been so glad that new users don't have full edit privileges.
 
yeah, that is a really good post that you made as well
all them badges today
 
Ugh, not to stereotype, but Indians (at least two I've contacted in the past 2 weeks for wholly unrelated things) seem really bad about fully answering emails a la:
@MarkTrapp here's a 1-rep user (for now) with a seemingly decent 1st post. I know nothing about the game though.
 
9:59 PM
 
@NiQAlasT That's definitely a good first draft of an answer. Since it contradicts the previous answer, I'd like more detail and a source
 
@ickleislands Oh, that's it? I was hoping for the actual amount of war assets awarded for each milestone
 
It's a permanent galactic readiness bonus
so percentage scaling war assets rather than war assets directly
therefore the amount of war assets you gain depends on the amount of war assets you have, etc

Q: Should I accept embassies from AI civilizations?

David FullertonThe AI seem to be very fond of paying me 15 - 25 gold to establish an embassy in my capital very early in the game. I'm quite fond of free money, so I've generally taken the deal, but is that actually the right decision? What advantages / disadvantages does an embassy offer to me when playing a...

 
10:06 PM
Oops, read that too fast. Okay, I would have liked to see the bonus percentage that they award
 
waaaaaaaait, I was premature
 
yeah, that has little to do with the question at hand
Also, just tuned into the Mario Marathon. It's official, after 4 days, they've gone crazy
 
@MBraedley doesn't appear to be documented
 
That reminds me, I need to play through super mario sunshine.
 
@ickleislands That's one thing I don't like about the ME wiki. We look to it as a source, yet we usually have better information, except when we have no information. What's even worse is that the actual Infiltrator page doesn't have any info on the bonuses.
 
10:19 PM
@agent86 was able to get the order number; can return for store credit less return shipping (~$9)
 
@MBraedley yes, trying to find that out indicates that any combination of search keywords that should point towards the answer all come here
 
@agent86 don't know what they really needed off the shipping label; I gave them the entire thing and they told me that Abby sent it; then had to ask again for the actual number
 
I don't know what it is about this site and google but stuff seems to appear in google results nearly instantly
 
We're just that good
 
it's what I was saying earlier about creating a duplicate ME3 post specifically about the extended cut dlc with a correctly worded title to funnel searches relating to it here
 
10:21 PM
also it could be personalized
 
but my point was missed
since it would have nearly instantly been top of the search results ahead of bioware's and EA's forums
but that would have probably been too devious and I'd have been hung with red tape ;p
 
I would say try it again, making sure that you use global results instead of personalized. should be in the top right
 
I don't see it
however by using a browser I never use on a PC that is never used to browse the internet while not logged into google accounts brings me the same set of results for the queries I was using
 
yeah, just did a search myself and didn't see it. Maybe it's only for a subset of topics and/or they changed the functionality since the last time I used it
I am getting location aware results for another search, which leads me to believe they revamped the personalized results, as I should see the option for global results on such a search
 
Google are naming to Skynet soon anyway

Q: Is Nexuiz worth buying?

tomatoSo it was about 2 months ( not sure ) since Nexuiz came out. Many people have tried it except for me. Is it worth buying?

 
@Lazers Not constructive
 
oh nice, the gameplay of Nexuiz looks so like a modern Q3A
the evolution of FPS into the slow paced console generation is what killed my love for the genre
 
I can't believe the Mario Marathon is still on Super Mario Sunshine.
That game is such a pain in the ass.
 
@ickleislands Twitch based shooters? Heh.
 
super fast paced > walking along
 
10:53 PM
I'm coming to this discussion late, but I say thanks whenever I want to and I have the right to do so, given by the constitution of my country. And since Stack Gaming is located in the USA, my freedom of speech is also protected by the constitution of your country. is pretty hilarious
 
user2334
These colors don't run
 
@Sterno Yeah, we all had a good laugh at that users expense.
 
@Sterno @James @agent86 When you attempt to hack into a station to give the rebels false information, have you ever succeeded?
 
@fbueckert Never had that event yet :(
I have let rebels go to delay the fleet though :)
 
@fbueckert I've hacked stations before. I don't know whether or not specifically for that, though
 
10:57 PM
Every time I try, it always fails. Sometimes I get maps of the surrounding area anyways, but not always.
 
I've definitely noticed some events only succeed if you have the proper ship upgrades
for example, when you bring the madman up to your ship, he always killed someone for me
until I had a level 2 medbay
 
@Sterno I've had a basic medbay, and he will sometimes join my crew. Not often, but sometimes.
 
Not sure what would be relevant for hacking attempts though
Hrm. He killed someone like 12 times straight for me. THe jerk.
