The Bridge

@fbueckert I guess so

@GnomeSlice Why are you so excited about a patcher?

@fbueckert Because I don't have to redownload the entire game every time I want to update it now.

Which I can't really do on my internet at home.

@RonanForman Are you doing all of this shit in blender?

Ronan Forman

Does anyone know what's causing that white smudge around my his hands? Also I just want to show off.

@GnomeSlice Yeah

@RonanForman It's pretty impressive considering that you've only been doing it for a few months.

You should consider going into Interactive Multimedia in school.

@fbueckert I feel bad for this guy.

@GnomeSlice I'd feel bad, too, but he's done it to himself.

He's not interested in learning how to ask properly; he just wants his problem solved right now, without using his brain.

@fbueckert That's how I operate too. Some people just don't know how to do things properly.

@GnomeSlice There needs to be at least a modicum of effort on your own part.

@fbueckert I try not to think about where my life is heading.

If your question screams, "I haven't tried anything at all, I just posted it straight to SO", it's a bad question.

One that I WILL downvote for not using your brain.

I stick around here because I don't LIKE junk like GameFAQs, where people ask the most inane and useless questions.

Here, I can at tell you that your question is stupid, and DO something about it.

7:46 PM

@fbueckert you can at what?

@GnomeSlice Downvote. VTC.

Post a helpful guide on what's wrong with your questions on Meta, and have it subsequently ignored.

@fbueckert What you don't realize is that inane questions don't necessarily fit your criteria (above) for bad questions.

I can sympathy upvote. Everyone wins!

Q: Techniques for Playing Wrench Tennis Effectively?

18

So, I noticed that in the Medical Pavilion stage of Bioshock, there is one hallway you can enter that has a quaint little machine in it. If you hit a button at the other end of the hallway, this machine starts shooting out tennis balls. There are various trophies lined up along the wall, and v...

@GnomeSlice That was actually an interesting use of game mechanics.

7:48 PM

@fbueckert It's still inane, though.

@fbueckert I'm just saying you're confusing 'bad' with 'inane' in the message this is a reply to.

Is it just me, or does "wrench tennis" sound dirty?

@Sterno Surprisingly, I think it's just you.

@GnomeSlice Your definition of inane is different than mine.

I'm starting to see a trend in your questions here... Jiggling, and Breasts. So, I'm guessing your a real 'look into her eye's' kind of guy eh? — Ender Mar 2 at 20:06

ಠ_ಠ

7:51 PM

@Sterno That's my definition of it as well...

Need onebox support for dictionary.com

lacking sense, significance'. 'Wrench Tennis' is not a part of the game, per se.

And, again, your definition is different than mine. I don't think it lacks significance.

Huh.

Whereas this is the height of "I can't be bothered to even try to figure it out myself!"

No research, no effort. Not even common sense.

Also, welcome, @LoSauer.

Q: Are there guns which regenerate ammo in Borderlands 2?

@SaintWacko Mainly going, "I don't care! I'm asking anyways!"

And then being all sorts of indignant when it gets closed.

This feels better than it should

NO LOVE AT ALL FOR THE PRISON ARCHITECT QUESTIONS :(

@StrixVaria You're probably the only one playing. :P

@StrixVaria I don't have the game! It's in heavy development! I dunno!

@StrixVaria HOW DOES IT FEEEEEL

8:21 PM

@GnomeSlice :(

It sucks, doesn't it.

=[

I don't even know if I like it yet, because I've barely even figured out how to play.

@StrixVaria There's no tutorial?

I just know I want to like it.

And everyone else should too.

@fbueckert There's an "introduction".

@StrixVaria I mean that is sucks when people completely ignore games/questions about them that you think are really good.

8:22 PM

It teaches you basic concepts, but it's not even close to complete.

@StrixVaria That video severely tempted me to buy it.

@fbueckert You should give in to temptation.

@GnomeSlice Welcome to my Armored Core question. :P

It's really promising at this point, if nothing else.

@fbueckert I'm pretty sure I'm the authority, here.

8:22 PM

@StrixVaria I'm still playing D3. And Trauma Team. And others.

My first prison was a complete shitshow, though.

I'm going to just forget that ever existed and start fresh next time.

But, like Dwarf Fortress, I think that's kind of the point.

I love being 10k for stuff like this.

@GnomeSlice He just had another answer on that question deleted.

8:29 PM

lol, he posted on my latest question

I destroyed him within 20 seconds of that being posted pretty much

@badp Does that prevent him from creating another username?

@fbueckert No.

Sounds like he'll just make another and keep on going.

Nothing does prevent him for signing up again

Did nobody explain to him that this isn't a forum?

8:31 PM

@GnomeSlice gnmy plz

:/

Isn't there an IP ban for repeat offenders?

@GnomeSlice Don't feed the troll.

Just kill it and move on.

@fbueckert I don't think that classifies as 'feeding the troll'.

@GnomeSlice He's obviously not interested in being a constructive member of the community.

Tell me again why we should sit people like that down and explain how the site works?

8:32 PM

If nobody asks him to leave, why would he leave?

@GnomeSlice Because we're deleting his "answers". And then destroying his username.

Fine, okay.

Yeah.

I can understand how you could feel sad for your fellow trolls, @GnomeSlice

@badp I'm not a troll.

yeah right :P

@StrixVaria Is that a hint for the next part?

@Lazers I tried Half Minute Hero when it was a PSP exclusive, got to the second area kept running out of time. Ain't nobody got time for that

I guess the game isn't popular enough for that kind of thing yet.

@StrixVaria DAE mist in haze o' dawn?

All I can see is the title...

And it sounds... well, familiar.

@GnomeSlice Yes.

@StrixVaria Fuck.

Lonely on the land I walk,
Lonely cross the sea I sail,
Lonely air of beach I stroll –
This lonely life doth take its toll.

Lonely trek of woodland trail,
Lonely mist in haze o’ dawn,
Lonely spies the bird of prey
In lonely circles all astray.

Lonely be the dark of night
When sleep is but a yearning wish,
To dream of sweet companions close,
As wine would pair with diner's dish.

Lonely do these thoughts me make
That draw my blood of precious life;
Replace with stream of flowing pain
To bless my veins with coursing strife.

8:43 PM

Good thing I didn't make a typo there.

@GnomeSlice To be fair, you've had your share of stars in the last couple of days.

user2334

yesterday, by GnomeSlice

I don't have internet.

@fbueckert I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean.

stars can mean... a variety of things.

@GnomeSlice The VAST majority of your messages that get starred are you doing stupid things.

@fbueckert So? How does that relate to what we were talking about other than 'stupid' lol?

8:48 PM

I remember shortly after I first got here, we had a very long and drawn out discussion about that new Tomb Raider game. Where everybody was trying to explain why rape is a bad thing, and you just weren't getting it.

@fbueckert No, that is horribly untrue.

Jesus, I don't want to start it again, but I never said rape was not a bad thing.

@GnomeSlice Go read that again.

Seriously.

No.

Just stop.

Please.

@fbueckert No, I realized the question I was talking about was actually on SU lol

It was very clearly an Android question, but for some reason had been closed instead of migrated

So I opened a flag suggesting migration, which was declined

@SaintWacko Get Tiny and Big

@GnomeSlice I have too many games already!

I've never even played Bioshock or L4D or Dead Space!

And I have them all!

@SaintWacko You can get it (with two other games) for $3.99 for a few more days! That's way less than the game costs normally lol. Indiefort Bundle

@SaintWacko Dead Space on PC is unplayable because of the controls.

Unless you plug in a gamepad, I guess.

@StrixVaria What if I.. Yeah, exactly

That's why I have 5 xbox controllers

It's like they didn't even do a sanity test of the PC controls before releasing it.

Just try to play it for 2 minutes at least before you launch.

9:01 PM

@StrixVaria Do you have a gamepad, yet?

@GnomeSlice No, and I wouldn't play a shooter with a gamepad even if I had one.

@StrixVaria What about other games?

@SaintWacko There are a couple games I have that I haven't really touched much because I don't have a gamepad. Super Meat Boy, Shank, Skydrift.

The ones that start with 'S', really.

I need to play more Skydrift.

@StrixVaria Super Meat Boy works just fine with keyboard. Beat the game with it.

@TrentHawkins I need to play that more, I was taking it slow, completing every area 100% before moving on until @badp asked for help with the last stage.

So I burned through the game and helped him with it lol.

Also, I really wish Metanet would release N+ on PC.

@TrentHawkins I'm stuck in 6-5 T_T

@badp speaking of which, did you ever beat that level?

@badp Oh, guess not.

I didn't really try since that day tbh

9:09 PM

@badp I can show you how to do it again sometime, if you like.

I didn't manage to beat 6-5 dark yet.

It's more like getting the timings and the keypresses down

I didn't try for terribly long though.

rather than just watching people do it

there's youtube for that

Those goddamn worm bosses easily took me the longest of any level to beat.

@TrentHawkins I got stuck somewhere in World 2 and gave up until I got a gamepad.

9:13 PM

@StrixVaria Back in my day, we played the original meat boy, which only supported the keyboard!

@Fluttershy I don't really want to buy a movie I've never seen before...

Second, that would involve downloading it.
