The Bridge

7:00 PM

@agent86 Yeah. I set it to install this morning before work and I'm reading up on it while I wait to go home. I haven't played in a few years, so a lot is different.

agent86

@StrixVaria could you upgrade dispensers and teleporters when you last played?

StrixVaria

@agent86 Yes.

I don't remember exactly how long it's been, really.

Tim Stone

@NiQAlasT You just have to redefine "middle class" as "top of upper middle class" and interpret "massive" as "a percent or so", which I suspect is easy to do when you believe in Mitt Romney magic. RAZZLE DAZZLE!

agent86

the other thing that always gets me is the number of spy tools there are that violate the rules I used to know about spies

StrixVaria

@agent86 I'm definitely going to be paying very close attention to that section when I get there.

I hate playing as a spy, but it's imperative I know all the ways they can ruin me.

agent86

7:02 PM

@StrixVaria there's like... infinite cloak watch if you stand still, the one that makes it look like you died when you didn't, knives that instantly and silently disguise you as the person you stabbed, etc

NiQAlas T

@agent86 if you want to post your email for a split secnd I can just forward you the emails w/ amazon

StrixVaria

@agent86 I've played with all those effects.

There may be new ones, though, on top of that.

agent86

@StrixVaria I seem to remember one where you could backstab an engineer and his stuff wouldn't target you

QAdp

does mom remain in depths 2?

agent86

but I can't remember if that was a suggestion or an actual item

Tim Stone

7:04 PM

@QAdp Yeah

agent86

@QAdp yeah, if you've beaten her you have to beat her again

on every run down to the "next boss"

QAdp

I have the sun again so...

Mana

@QAdp I could have sworn you were the one who had already beaten Binding of Isaac a bunch of times

QAdp

nope, very first today

NiQAlas T

@agent86 email sent; I also don't know if it was all one order (e.g. we'd have the same order number); but when I punched in the number it just pulled up the one item, quantity one.

agent86

7:06 PM

@NiQAlasT did you end up getting an order number out of Lauren then?

NiQAlas T

no

agent86

hmm, okay

NiQAlas T

She just responded with (entire email here): "all the headsets were ordered ahead of time and shipped from our office, so there is no order number. Sorry about that!"

which is apparently wrong

QAdp

mom, have at you. again!

fuck! I can't go back to the rest of the level once I beat mom?

am I really leaving behind a full health pill?

aww

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlicE I usually just ignore them, but I like you solution better!

I love the Quick-Fix, but it just depends on your team mates ability to understand the concept of team work.

StrixVaria

7:12 PM

@Wipqozn I'm trying to figure out when this would be preferable to overhealing.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria badp wrote a post about it awhile back. When you're trying to push a point it lets you be a lot more aggressive since you can keep the entire team healed. Whereas with the normal medigun you tend to fewer, slower pushes where you just keep one person alive.

There's also the fact that you can't be knocked back during an uber, so it's really useful for taking out sentries.

StrixVaria

Yeah that sounds good.

How long can you tank a sentry with the 300% healing rate but no invincibility?

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria Long enough to destroy it.

StrixVaria

That's what's important, really.

Wipqozn

I think the qucik-fix is able to fully heal 3 heavies from 50-full helth (with a few seconds remaining) during the uber time.

agent86

7:14 PM

@NiQAlasT your label is different than mine - mine got shipped from stack exchange, and doesn't have an "amazon" return label.

Wipqozn

If you're going against a pocket of three sentries you're better off with the medigun uber though.

agent86

I'll see if they're willing to deal with me though...

Wipqozn

Since I'm pretty sure you could get one-shotted.

NiQAlas T

@agent86 hrm; dunno then...you could still probably give them Abby's name/SE address and the item

Wipqozn

but like I said, it heavily depends on your teams ability to work together. If your team is just derping around you'll never be able to take advantage of it's increased healing anyways.

StrixVaria

7:16 PM

@Wipqozn This is true of the other medic healing guns too, though.

agent86

@NiQAlasT yeah, worth a shot. I appreciate the details, this should at least make it feasible.

StrixVaria

Playing on a team where no one is willing to work together is the worst, and it's only worse when you try to be the medic.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria It is, but the other mediguns tend to do better when you just focus on one person, compared to the quick fix.

agent86

I should really cash out my earbuds at some point

NiQAlas T

@agent86 their website just says "If you don't have the packing slip, you can contact customer service for the order number. Please provide the sender's name and e-mail address, and the phone number of the address where the gift was shipped."

Wipqozn

7:17 PM

The whole idea of the quick fix is keeping the entire team healed, instead of just having one person constantly overhealed.

agent86

I think they're worth crazy cash

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn I used to keep multiple people overhealed with the standard medigun...

Q: Can I go back to the rest of the level once I beat Mom?

Am I really leaving behind everything on the Depths 2 after I enter the boss room? I had left behind a blood donation machine and a full health pill and everything else!

Q: What's this sound when Shepard arrives at the Citadel?

When you start the Mission Citadel: The Return in the Extended Cut of Mass Effect 3 than Shepard appears on the Citadel via the Conduit which was protected by Marauder Health (R.I.P. Marauder Shields). If you watch (here is a video of the scene on YouTube) and hear the environment closely you can...

mass-effect-3

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria Oh you can do it, but it's not just as effective as healing large groups as the quick-fix.

NiQAlas T

@StrixVaria 'tis fairly standard to do so I thought

Wipqozn

7:20 PM

Keeping everyone over healed is great, but once everyones health gets down low trying to cap a point you won't have time to get them all fully overhealed again and maintain it if you want to keep the pressure on.

I should play some tf2
