@MarkTrapp By contrast, this one is real:
 
user2334
The asterisks surrounding the signature make it
 
@MarkTrapp No, "The All-American Boy" makes it.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO AOshdlqwjkdqhdqw

I interpreted the All-American Boy to be a footnote to his signature denoted by aforementioned asterisks

Q: Does LFR loot in Mists account for a role/spec mismatch?

NickIn Mists of Pandaria LFR, loot is won individually and rewarded according to spec. However, what happens if I queue as a healer, and participate in the kill as DPS? For example: I'm a druid with a Feral and Resto spec. I queue as a healer (presumably to get a shorter queue time), but I kill th...

Q: Where can I find feces?

vladomeerI was watching this Skyrim parody video: http://www.youtube.com/user/collegehumor?annotation_id=annotation_128694&feature=iv&src_vid=Vcx6UbMCtfI The guy is hoarding feces to make potions out of them. I am wondering if feces exist in Skyrim so I can level up my alchemy.

I want a framed version of this jesus
 
They could recoup the costs of the restoration by selling prints/posters.
I'd buy one
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's an awesome chin beard

@Fluttershy I was just wondering where you've been!
 
@Fluttershy She wants to sing for you
 
@Fluttershy Ohi,
So, is there anything interesting in Portland, Maine? Looks like I'm going to be up there for most of the fall.
 
@OrigamiRobot no she doesn't!
 
I hate the name "Planning Poker" so much.
 
@spugsley =( Now I'm sad.

Q: NEW Diablo III Patch not installing automatically

KittyAs of yesterday the game shows it is up to date, however after log in it requires the program to close to update a patch. which would be fine excepts it loops like this. Anyone else having some issues? btw I'm in Aus if it helps.

Q: Restarting Skyrim causes weapons to have increased charge cost

kotekzotWhen charging a weapon, you get an estimate of how many charges it will have per full recharge (how many times you can use it before all the charges are depleted). For my character, a super fun combination of Absorb Health + Fiery Soul Trap, the # of charges is about 170. If I save, close and sta...

Q: Is it possible to quickscope in CS:GO?

DecencyIn CS 1.6, it was possible to fire accurate shots with the AWP without actually using the scope to sight; this was called quickscoping. It was done by right clicking (opening the scope) and then immediately left clicking to fire. The result was that the game treated your shot as a scoped in shot ...

Q: Where can I get games for Unity?

MoralitoI'm new to Ubuntu, but I installed it because Windows gave me too much virus problems. And because I heard that Unity is a cross-platform engine, so that I can run good graphics games on Linux. Now I wonder where I can get good games that run on Ubuntu's Unity engine?

Even though an enemy has been scanned using a Magic Lens, Rita keeps using spells of their resistance attr...

A: What's the difference between the English client versions?

cherrieThe only difference is what servers you can use; if you're in the US, you get US servers; if you're in Europe, you get EU servers; and if you're in Asia, you get Asia servers. That's the big difference, and it is based on the game you purchase. So if you have Yankee friends you want to play with,...

Awards & Achievements

Proposed Q&A site for people who want to know about Awards and Achievements

Currently in definition.

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I really wish there was an option to down vote Area 51 proposals.
 
Is there an A51 proposal for an SE to mock bad A51 proposals?
 
@wipqozn Can I propose a site just for turtles on Area 51? Or how does this work?
 
@RilgonArcsinh There should be.
 
(that sounds practically ouroboros-like...)
 
Oh, @LessPop_MoreFizz, did you see the pic I sent you of Zerelda's new clothes? :3
 
@RilgonArcsinh that'll do.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz There are no hats that are even remotely okay, and I'd need to wait for 1.2 for a Carmen-like haircut, but otherwise, it works
Nice thing is, Pangaea had an acceptable pair of boots, too, so I didn't have to buy cash shop boots to go with it.

Q: Skyrim - Ilia's mother quest

RexThere's a quest in Skyrim where you have to help a witch named Ilia(?) defeat her mother in one of those towers. I got to the top of the tower where there was a hargraven and a hag..and nothing else. After killing them both, I still see the quest icon shown on the grass, and interacting with Ilia...

 
@Lazers is the most active chatter today
 
11:28 AM
@pixel Don't forget to note that in the Exploration-log.
 
@PatrickStalder Captain's log, stardate 1208.23. the Bridge has been unusually quiet for the past few hours - the silence only broken by the ship's computer, which people have lovingly taken to naming @Lazers.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I honestly don't understand how that women could be so deluded to think she had the skills to correctly restore the painting. I also don't understand how she didn't realize how badly she has ruining it half-way through the restoration.
 
@Wipqozn obviously stoned
 
@Wipqozn Have you ever met an elderly person with dementia?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz No sir.
I don't see anything about her having dementia though.
 
11:42 AM
@RilgonArcsinh Who elected you to be the captain here?
 
@PatrickStalder @Lazers.
 
@RilgonArcsinh Provide proof or begone out of MY captain seat.
 
@RilgonArcsinh I was thinking more along the lines of "Day 79 in the Arqade house, it's been a little quiet this morning as the housemates are still sleeping..."
 
@PatrickStalder See, I have these papers right here that prove it: wowhead.com/item=62056
 
@pixel We are on a Ship. A ship in space to investigate LAZERS. Where do you see a Arqade house?
 
11:47 AM
next to the channel 4 recording studios
 
@pixel ... why do you destroy my GLORIOUS fantasies? :(
@RilgonArcsinh Crap.... I always wanted to be the captain.. :)
 
If this is a Big Brother house, then why do I have to work with these complete buffoons at work? I want better housemates coworkers
 
@RilgonArcsinh the public never vote out the right people, go figure
 
I'd seen Romney/Dukhat before but the Ryan/Weyoun angle is new to me.
 
He can't be a Vorta, they're engineered to be scientists (among other things).
Science is an anathema to the Right.
 
11:56 AM
@RilgonArcsinh Scientists with a blind religious devotion bred right into their genetic code.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I still say it's too far outside, IMO.
 
@RilgonArcsinh Vorta are engineers, not scientists. They possess no curiosity, because the Founders are infallible. I'm pretty sure Ryan is an admitted technophile, like any true Randroid, even if he completely disregards science as a whole, what with his whole belief that The Pope is infallible.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Most of the wikis I checked re: Vorta disagree on them not being scientists, but fair enough
I will concede the point because I don't want my Pure Metal source drying up <_<
Also you can put a higher QL glyph in a lower QL weapon, actually
At least with a difference of one level, my QL3 blade took a QL4 Resilient Glyph with no issues
 
@RilgonArcsinh TIL
Also, Pure Metal is the most worthless of base mats, and I have more than 2000 of them.
 
12:11 PM
I'm actually surprised how relatively affordable lowbie glyphs were
I got both of my QL4 Ravagings for ~4500 and a QL4 Resilient for 100 pax
 
"You've reached the maximum of 30 Deletion Votes in a day. Please come back in 11 hours."
WELP.
@RilgonArcsinh Yeah, people are swimming in that shit and there's not really any good dump other than disassembly.
Meanwhile, I paid 3 million pax for a fucking signet last night. A GREEN one.
My ill-gotten gains from that huge infusion of lu runes has been washed away at this point. Pretty soon I'll need to start farming my own signets. :(
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Clearly this means I need to level and gear quickly so I can healbot for you.
 
Gonna take my exhaustion of my delete votes as a cue that I need to go to work.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Now I feel like watching Deep Space 9 again.
Luckily I own the entire series on DVD.
 
@Wipqozn Netflix is a wonderful thing.
Or that.
 
12:17 PM
@Wipqozn It's never a bad time for IHOP DS9.
 
@RilgonArcsinh A time when Breaking Bad is on is an objectively bad time for DS9.
 
AUGH FUCK
TECHNOLOGICALLY INCOMPETENT MORONS WHO "want server for hosting minecraft" NEED TO ALL FUCKING DIE IN A GODDAMNED BRAZEN BULL
"i dunno how to open port you can help?"
EAT A FUCKING MOUND OF THERMITE
 
@RilgonArcsinh I don't think eating a mound of thermite will open the intended port. It will certainly open a new port on the person in question however.

Q: How much damage constitutes an assist?

ShaderachI injured someone and he killed me, then after a long interval he was killed and I was awarded an assist to my surprise. So, since it's obviously not based on time duration, how much do you need to damage someone to earn an assist?

Q: How does increased Sweeping Wind damage work on items?

OrigamiRobotI have seen some items that give a damage bonus to Sweeping Wind. Does this bonus apply to each level of Sweeping Wind or does it divide the bonus up between the three levels?

Agree or disagree with my stance folks? shouldn't be closed since expecting the original to cover every special case would be too broad?
 
@Wipqozn It shouldn't be closed because I am not asking about weapon damage.

Q: What's the best general in Empire Defense 2?

BazzPsychoNutI can't seem to find any documentation about this rather popular app. I've saved up quite a bit of minerals for a new general and would like some advise about which general is considered the best, so I won't have to grind for another 3 weeks.

Q: Does Jax's Counter Strike protect teammates behind him from Twitch's ultimate?

1:02 PM
Tell us how you really feel.
 
I've cast my fair share of incorrect close votes in my day, but holy fucking mcfucknuggets I'm so sick of seeing people casting too Localized close votes on a question because it asks a question about a single skill, or a specific build.
 
@Wipqozn Contrariwise, people will argue that something is not Too Localized just because it isn't time localized.
 
season 6 of friends done -.-
 
@pixel The chick and the duck are the best characters.
 
Stupid Diablo 3 servers down this morning. I was counting on that to make this workday not miserable.
 
1:08 PM
@StrixVaria I am logged in.
 
@OrigamiRobot :'(
 
@OrigamiRobot duno I think chandler is quite funny
 
@pixel It's too bad nothing else that guy has ever done has been in the same realm of quality.
 
@pixel Actually, Phoebe is best.
@StrixVaria The whole Nine/Ten yards
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh doesn't that have Robert DeNiro too?
 
1:10 PM
phoebe reminds me a lot of me so that would be too much self love
 
@StrixVaria Bruce Willis
 
@OrigamiRobot Just as good.
 
@StrixVaria If by that you mean better.
 
Back to Diablo 3, I found a weapon upgrade last night for my WD.
I personally found a weapon that was better than what I was using before.
I didn't think that was a thing that could happen.
 
@StrixVaria nice joke, I never knew you were so funny!
 
1:11 PM
I found a Daibo that had 400 strength and 500 vitality.
 
@OrigamiRobot If that was dex... drool
What was the damage on it though?
 
@StrixVaria idk shields have crit chance
@StrixVaria Don't remember.
 
I really need to come up with some kind of coherent build and focus on items that complement it.
 
@OrigamiRobot Somewhere around 500/600.
 
So far I've just been judging items individually, so I haven't tried stacking crit chance/damage or anything like that.
 
1:13 PM
If it's the same one I'm thinking about.
 
It is
 
Poll: Do you guys even bother picking up blues?
 
@StrixVaria My build is very much driven by my 37.5% Crit Chance
 
@StrixVaria Yes
 
@StrixVaria Yea, level 60 stuff for salvaging
 
1:15 PM
@OrigamiRobot Once I find a skill build I really like, I'll see if there is any way to gear up to min/max it.
I'm still experimenting with the huge variety of viable builds since the patch.
 
Seeing as how essences are still going for ~1300 each.
 
@fbueckert Whoa what?
I have tons of those.
 
@StrixVaria The Inferno ones, yeah.
 
I think crafting is actually legit now, though.
 
That's all blues are really good for.
 
1:16 PM
The Monk set recipe is going for over 100m
 
I am probably going to use my essences and such for crafting rather than selling.
 
@OrigamiRobot If I had that, I'd pay it.
 
Because both monk sets are good now.
@fbueckert I would too.
 
Because I could just churn out sets and re-coup my costs.
 
@OrigamiRobot Is that one recipe to be able to craft the entire set?
 
1:17 PM
Yep
 
You can still find weaponry on the AH for a billion gold.
 
and with gold at $1.50/mil, that's over $150
 
As if ANYTHING is worth that much.
 
@OrigamiRobot Still never spending real money on the game.
To me spending real money undermines the "game" part of the game.
 
@StrixVaria I was just using it as perspective
The 2 weapon Monk set is soooooooo good now.
 
1:19 PM
I should really take a few minutes and look through the new legendaries...
 
@OrigamiRobot 1000+ DPS one handers? Yes, please.
 
I want those.
I like balls of pure energy.
 
And not a single wasted stat on either.
One has life leech instead of life on hit, but that's just me nitpicking.
 
@fbueckert Aren't they supposed to have fixed LL?
 
1:27 PM
@OrigamiRobot I don't believe there's anything wrong with it; according to Blizzard, it's never been meant to be competitive with Life on Hit for single targets.
 
@fbueckert Doesn't it decrease the actual gains with higher difficulties?
 
@OrigamiRobot So does life on hit.
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah; that's to counteract your higher damage amounts.
@StrixVaria Nope.
 
Really?
 
That's why most people use Life on Hit; it stays the same regardless of difficulty.
 
1:29 PM
Maybe I'm confusing that with the proc rate, which does scale life on hit.
 
@fbueckert Right, but it doesn't show you that anywhere.
 
An ability that only procs 50% of the time will only give you 50% LoH
 
@OrigamiRobot Other than the game guide.
@StrixVaria I think you're thinking about proc co-efficients.
 
I mean in-game
It's just misleading
 
@fbueckert Yeah that's what it's called.
 
1:30 PM
@OrigamiRobot True enough
@StrixVaria Yeah, those rates change based on whatever skill you use.
But life leech uses those same rates, but then reduces it to 20% as well in Inferno.
@OrigamiRobot How much are those fists going for in the AH?
 
@fbueckert I already left the page
Hundreds of millions
 
@OrigamiRobot Better off just buying the set recipe.
Should've seen if I could steal the recipe prior to 1.04.
 
No recipe for that one
I was talking about the set with Hallowed Hand.
 
Zeus damn it. I hate when people turn the lights on in the office. Just work in the dark people, jeez. Don't they know all the cool kids work in the dark (like me)?
 
@Wipqozn I know!
 
1:37 PM
@OrigamiRobot Ah. That one isn't quite as good as Shen Long's, but the recipe itself should still pay for itself several times over.
 
Bleh. Shield? Me no likey.
 
@Wipqozn I tend to actually deliberately turn on lights when I go around the office or house even if I don't need it. The alternative is to scare people because I can, as opposed to seemingly most of my family and co-workers, easily find my way around a familiar place in pitch-black darkness ...
 
@MartinSojka Apparently, my Move Silently skill is extremely high; I sneak up on people without trying.
So I've started wearing keys specifically so I don't sneak up on them.

Your cat is so cool.
 
Of course I am. Yes, she really is.
 
@OrigamiRobot Really? Sounds more like her cat is freaking scary, to me.
 
@fbueckert DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT @ANNALEAR'S CAT LIKE THAT
