Q: What types of individuals correspond to the Alpha, Beta, and Omega personality types?

Steve V.I don't always pay attention very well when an NPC is talking (In fact, there's one talking to me in the background while I'm typing this question). Usually, it's because I'm thinking about the words the character is saying rather than looking at the screen. This means that I often miss the pers...

Grar! The Tribes:Ascend patch servers are down! Or something.
That was the whole reason I booted into Windows.

Q: Becoming a vampire lord and getting bloodcursed arrows after curing Serana

kotekzotI've finished Dawnguard and chose to cure Serana of vampirism, but now I think I'd like to have the option of become a vampire lord and getting bloodcursed arrows. I've done some basic console fiddling but was unable to faithfully reproduce a vampire lord transformation (adding the vampire lord s...

Ghostbuster's Theme on eight floppy drives:
 
@RedRiderX Colons generally go before the thing that they're about.
 
@UQAllulloo Yes, that's why I typed it thus.
Wait, is the video posted first?
It appears second to me...
 
@RedRiderX Yeah, the video's post 5898281, and the other is 5898284.
 
1:46 AM
@UQAllulloo But... that's not how I...
Wha!?
Weird.
 
The important thing is that I have the video on loop.
PATCH YOU B*****D
I WANT TO SHOOT SPINFUSORS
 
@Brant I will do this once I get off my rabbit trail of other floppy music videos.
 
Hi Bridge.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hi.
 
I assume you have all voted in this year's Robot Hall of Fame inductions.
 
1:59 AM
@RedRiderX But @OrigamiRobot is not a nominee, why should I bother?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz How do you know this?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Those hacks wouldn't know a quality robot if it wrote them a very threatening letter and told them I know where they live.
 
@RedRiderX Because I am looking at the list of nominees right now?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Clever...
 
@RedRiderX I am tempted to vote for Johnny 5 though.
JOHNNY 5 IS ALIVE.
 
2:03 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I totally did.
 
See a brown item on the ground, get really excited. "Black Mushroom". Trolled.
 
clicks randomly through nominees until reaching whatever page lets him vote for Bender
reaches end of survey, closes tab without completing
 
Blurg. Tiiiiired.
 
@Brant If you don't vote for Johnny 5, you are a soulless monster.
 
Bender is great.
Vote for Bender.

I don't know what the context is at all, but Johnny 5 > Bender

Q: guild wars 2 beta client same as the real client

prolink007I have been playing GW2 in the beta. I have the beta client downloaded and it is up to date. Do i need a different client to play the real game when it releases tomorrow, or is the beta client the same as the real client? Thanks

 
3:52 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, I don't know... Big Dog is on there
 
user2334
WALL-E is going to win because 90s kids. But Johnny 5 should totally win because every robot should turn be a dangerous killing machine when they aren't malfunctioning
 
user2334
As long as nothing iRobot makes wins I'm good. Seriously, whatever they made vs Jason? not even
 
@MarkTrapp @StrixVaria I've completed our unholy pact. With three strikes, we have bisected the tag. But two remain undeleted.
 
@MarkTrapp WALL-E is cool and all, but Johnny 5 for life!
 
You can be a pepper too!

Oh I see
 
I can't cast delete votes on open questions, though :(
 
4:02 AM
Nor can anyone.
I've found I'm very good at obfuscating simple statements beyond recognition.
I killed the Deposed King in Darksiders 2 today.
Man that guy was irritating.
I think he was 5 levels above me, which might have explained why he tended to 1-shot me, however.
Anyhoo, I have work in the morning. 'Night, bridge.

ponsfonzeWhat items does he typically build? What champions and items counter him best? Personal experience desired.

I stabbed a cthulhu monster in the face and got a shiny sword :D
 
@RilgonArcsinh Next step: Stab a bunch of hellbeasts in the face.

@Raven, are you around?
@raven I'm currently on vacation for the week and have embargoed myself from the Internet. If you need me before Sunday or Monday, my phone number should be on Facebook. Otherwise, send me an email or something and I'll get back to you soon.
@raven if you can find my phone number, a text or call or something is good. I turned data off, but texts or calls should still get through

Windows 8 won't download through Dreamspark this morning
and I can't find something relevant on Bittorrent either
I mean, there are several "RTM" torrents but they're all "too old"
like early august
 
Dreamspark is doing you a favor.
 
@RilgonArcsinh yes, I am perfectly aware
but I wanted to dedicate today to Windows 8 and I already have a perfectly legit product key anyway
(besides, it's not as much as a favor as it is a discounted subscription paid for with my taxes)
 
@badp I could think of a seemingly endless list of more enjoyable ways to dedicate a day.
 
@RilgonArcsinh I could think of a seemingly endless list of other days when I'm supposed to get shit done rather than reinstalling Windows and everything that comes with it
today's a day in the middle of nowhere and I can afford to lose it to watching progress bars fill.
oh, the "legit" download finally started
 
8:11 AM
@RilgonArcsinh top of my list of more enjoyable things to dedicate a day to is 'sleep'
It's a bad sign when I'm already on youtube before 10am
today is going to be the anti-climax to the week

Q: A dot with custom position on screen - Windows7

Asad MoeenSo if you know about 3rd-person shooters, some of them don't have a cross and you have to predict where you shoot.

@LessPop_MoreFizz not sure if you know this
In April 2008, Variety reported that Dimension Films had acquired the rights to remake the original film. Dan Milano had been hired to write the script, and David Foster to produce it. Foster said that the robot's appearance would not change
On October 27, 2009, it was announced that Steve Carr would direct the remake and that the film's plot would involve a boy from a broken family befriending the Number 5 robot.

Q: Why vampires at Castle Volkihar attacking me even if I'm in Vamire Lord form?

DracontisI became a Vampire Lord, but one or two vampire NPC still attack me in the Castle and trigger all others, so I can't continue questline. If there are any fix for it? I tried to switch off all mods and activated console command: player.setrace NordRaceVampire but still nothing happened.

 
10:50 AM
@pixel This is a high quality use of your time.
JOHNNY FIVE IS ALIVE
 
I'm sure I'll understand that later on today
well, 21 hours from now
for my completely legitimate bluray copy
 
And now I am going to be a GOOD SON and drive my parents to the airport at 7 AM on a friday. They fucking owe me.
 
They owe you nothing
Without them you wouldn't exist, you owe them.
 
You would have a point if they weren't pulling me so far out of my way to do this, and if my sister for whom this would be much easier, had even been asked to.
 
At least you still talk to your parents
well
At least your parents still talk to you
 
11:02 AM
Well of course they do. How else could they guilt trip me like all good Jewish parents do.
 
lol
 
oh dear
there are quite a lot of colors in the Windows 8 setup procedure

Q: How to exit Minecraft single player without saving?

dbemerlinI was building my factory in single player Tekkit wearing my nice gem armor using a red morningstar to mine out an area below it to place the machines. I quickly switched the hammer mode from 3x3 to single block to work on some details... or that was what would have happened if I actually had it ...

 
Holy crap, I finished KOHCTPYKTOP
(The SpaceChem level)
 
11:20 AM
@YiJiang If it has a name like that then you should be proud.
 
@RonanForman It's a reference to one of his previous games
But the level is pretty darn hard
With that, I've finished every level on mobile except for Omega-Ethylene, which is just too darn hard
I don't even know how to start that one. Every time I look at it I want to cry

Q: Recommendations for switching for a long-time Keyboard Turner

Adam CI've been playing WoW for year, and I have even managed to do some end-game raiding without shaming myself, all the while being a keyboard turner and action clicker. I do want to reform, and I have had limited success by rolling a new toon (a mage) and playing that toon on the keyboard. Howev...

 
DIABLO 3 WHY U RESET ALL CUSTOM KEYBINDINGS
 
11:59 AM
I was going to write a detailed response to keyboard turning but I really cba
I think instead I'm going to go sit outside
 
@pixel I'm admittedly a weird outlier, but I kept A and D bound to turn and unbound strafe while raiding competitively for several years.
(hold RMB+A/D to strafe.)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I can't say I'd do the same.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have A D as strafe and shift+ A D as keyboard turn
I did keyboard turn on alysrazor before the tornado nerf because it was the right way to do it
 
Like I said, I know it's unusual.
 
but the only other time I turn with keyboard is while rolling a joint
woo friends finished downloading
just in time for me to finish watching them and delete them all again
 
12:05 PM
Y'know, if you spent less time on the computer, you could have real friends instead of having to download them.

that's hilarious
sorry that I'm not a decade older so I could have watched it first time around ;)
 
Stop making me feel old.
 
Stop making me feel sad
 
Once upon a time I'd've made the same joke except with "real friends instead of watching them on tv."
 
yes but you're so old that you were a teenager before the internet happened
 
12:08 PM
Personally I only ever watched Friends because it was on right before Seinfeld.
No, I had the Internet as a teenager.
 
uhuh, of course
 
It was just slow.
 
so did I
 
I could never get in to Seinfeld
 
I had faster internet as a teenager than I do now!
completely serious :|
 
12:09 PM
@pixel I only ever had NetZero
 
well I guess I'm still in my teens, so my current internet connection is still affecting the average speed of my internet access as a teenager
 
I had aol dial up until I graduated from high school.
 
when I lived with my parents I had faster internet than I do now!
oh I didn't realise the theme tune to friends was an actual song
by an actual band
 
The Remnrandts!
Rembrandts even
 
i know that now
on account of getting my education from wikipedia
 
12:11 PM
Definitely remember buying that single as a gift for my sister.
 
lol
 
THE HANDCLAPS.
 
recorded 1994
I was 1.
 
@OrigamiRobot it doesn't surprise me that you couldn't get into Seinfeld. It's just too New York for you, just like quality pizza.
 
heh
It wasn't even written by the rembrandts
 
12:13 PM
Seriously though, Seinfeld is fucking great.
 
seriously though
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Finally someone responded. Human interaction quota filled. See you chumps later!
 
I have nearly 1tb of crap queued up in utorrent
 
@pixel you ought to really dive deep on bad 90's NBC sitcoms.
Get some Veronica's Closet all up in this.
Suddenly Susan.
 
I would, but I'm starting to feel like I've exposed myself enough to the 90s
 
12:15 PM
Some true awfulness.
 
and have established it was a weird period in human history
and now I'm moving onto the 80s
 
I think the greatest failing of Friends is that it isn't quite bad enough to inhabit that dumpster.
 
my initial opinion so far is that the further back in time I go the weirder people get
 
While not quite being as good as Frasier or Seinfeld et al.
 
I'm glad I wasn't alive in the 80s, weird hairstyles
 
12:16 PM
Oh god just wait till you end up watching Taxi.
 
I can't see myself ever watching a show called Taxi
in fact
I've downloaded or I am in the process of downloading the following
Blues Brothers
 
It stars Andy Kauffman! It's a classic!
 
Terminator 1+2
Short Circuit 1+2
Back to the Future 1 2 3
 
Good list. Well except for Short Circuit 2. That was regrettable.
 
I did briefly start downloading "Knight Rider" but I watched the first episode and decided I don't need to watch that
 
12:18 PM
Enough hasselhoff in your life without it?
 
I am actually not that sure who he is, but he was the reason it was recommended to me as 'must watch'
I watched blues brothers and thought that was weird but the car chase at the end was funny
I have never seen a star wars movie
 
Blues Brothers is a great film.
I hate Illinois Nazis.
Y'know what you should download for maximum badness:
The Last Starfighter
Also The Wizard for video game wish fulfillment double feature.
 
meh
the last starfighter doesn't look very good
 
Of course it isn't very good.
It's awful
 
12:24 PM
somebody insisted that I watched star trek the original series
I didn't even manage to finish the first episode before giving up
 
But I thought you were watching these films as some kind of quasi-anthropological deep dive, not to see quality cinema.
 
Hrm, it appears that Windows 8 completely removed translucent windows borders
Hooray for performance, I guess!
 
nope, very much only watching recommendations of what people think are good
 
now where the fucking hell does Bejeweled 3 save process
 
And yet you've been watching Friends.
 
12:28 PM
The information on GSE is wrong, the information on Popcap's support website is also wrong
 
it was recommended to me by 5 different people
 
Process Explorer, I choose you!
 
Friends don't recommend Friends to their Friends.
 
I am suspecting the closer I get to the end of watching them that it was a cheap ploy to make me drop off the face of the planet for a week
but that will become obvious when they recommend another 60gb of TV for me to watch once I report I've finished
 
@pixel those people are not your friends.
They will not be there for you. When the rain starts to pour.
 
12:32 PM
Also, The Last Starfighter is actually rather funny. Not a masterpiece by any means, but then, not everything has to be Battleship Potemkin or Seven Samurai.
 
they best be, I've known them since I was a child
 
@Martin have you heard/seen the musical version?
 
nearly weekend
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Of the Eisenstein or the Kurosawa film?
 
Of the last Starfighter.
 
12:46 PM
No, and I don't really think that's very tempting. I saw the film once, more than that would be a waste of time, less would be missing out on pop-culture classics. :)

A: Back up and restore Bejeweled 3 after HDD format on Windows 7 PC

badpDepending on your version it can be in: C:\Users\Your Windows Username\AppData\Local\PopCap Games\Bejeweled3\Users C:\Users\Your Windows Username\AppData\Local\Steam\Bejeweled3\Users C:\Users\Your Windows Username\AppData\Local\GameHouse\Bejeweled3\users C:\Users\Your Windows Username\AppData\L...

I had the only path that wasn't suggested in one of the many answers
 
"C:\Users\Your Windows Username" can be also more easily written as "%UserProfile%" (this works for any Windows starting with at least NT and 95).
Try it out, put it in file explorer's location bar. :)
 
1:04 PM
@badp Oh, and %UserProfile% also works when you moved your profile directory somewhere else, and works correctly no matter which Windows version or language (older Windows versions had this directory name depending on the language set during installation). It's basically Windows version of the $HOME environment variable.
 
@MartinSojka Thanks; I would've used %AppData% but that goes to \Remote, not \Local
 
I think I've just damaged my hearing
 
I'm not sure if there is a convenient shortcut for AppData\Local ...

Q: What are each races racial skills and how do they work?

Emerica.I know in Guild Wars 2 each race has thier own unique 'racial skills'. But I am not sure how exactly they are unlocked/applied/used. It would be great to have this information somewhere so people can make decisions as to what race will work well with thier profession.

Q: How do your 'F1, F2, ect..' skills work?

Emerica.I see that some Professions have skills bound to F1, F2 and so on. Yet some have 0 skills bound there. Are these Profession specific? And if so do you have to unlock them/spend points on them or do they become available natrually?
