12:00 AM
@fbueckert why do you ant to crash my iPad?
 
merry new year
 
@MBraedley Because I do.
So there.
 
@kalina Are you from the future?
What is it like in 2013?
 
the same
 
@kalina Lame.
 
12:01 AM
actually, I think it might be a bit colder
 
@MBraedley I told you to buy it.
 
Not getting the boing on the iPad is annoying
 
Happy new year y'all.
 
Jeeze, these British folks think they own the place! :P
 
12:17 AM
@MBraedley Let 'em. I'm going out dancing and celebrating the end of the year in style.
 
This is so sad, one hour into the new year I'm knocked out already
poor aeration plus chimney equals headache
 
Also usually Carbon Monoxide.
 
fighting it with staying outside at the risk of blocking digestion, coffee, alcohol and just laying in my bed. To be fair none of the other twelve people seem affected
turns out the Bailey's is rather delicious
- typo
 
@MBraedley Also, get Mirror's Edge because
of that
 
I hate throat burning, despite developing some kind of tolerance towards it
@lesspopmorefizz life in the new year is life in the correct timezone. Also slightly more alcohol than average. Do recommend
please see to it that you join us expeditiously

Purchase complete! Now to find time to play it
 
Prediction: Apostrophes will have gone out of style by the time 2013 reaches the east coast.
 
they removed it from the english language as soon as that pic got made
 
@ullallulloo duck off. Love, twenty thirteen. :-P

Q: How can I change the decal on my vehicules?

Fredy31I've seen vehicules with decals saying PlanetSide Beta and others. How do I put one of these decals on my vehicule? And how do I get some more?

Q: How do I make my horse stop following me?

SaintWackoI summoned an assassin horse, and now I can't get it to stop following me. It's making it very difficult to do anything. How can I make it leave me alone, or at least just stand and wait for me?

 
1:04 AM
Whaha!
Order of operations, my old nemesis!
 
@RavenDreamer BEDMAS
 
PEMDAS I know
What did you do to P arenthesis to turn it into a B?
 
@RavenDreamer brackets
 
Also, your multiplication / division is swapped!
 
@RavenDreamer He zapped it with the ward of Americanization?
I actually have no idea where the word brackets came from
 
1:11 AM
Because parenthesis is too hard to pronounce
@RavenDreamer but they happen at the same time
 
@MBraedley There is no such thing as subtraction or division.
Ergo, PEMA
 
I'll give you subtraction, but not division
 
/ 2 = * .5f
 
I just found out the hard way that the server Reddit Midwest TF2 is hosted on has its time zone set wrong.
 
@Powerlord You were late to something?
 
1:16 AM
and because of the oddness of Windows, this means its C timestamps are also 7200 seconds wrong.
 
Anyways, family game time. Later all.
 
@RavenDreamer No, actually I'm trying to do a timed event. Specifically, at midnight central time
 
Ah, well good luck
 
However, since it's set to Pacific time (and the timestamp is 7200 seconds off), I apparently have to put the timestamp as 8 am UTC instead of 6am UTC.
 
All I know is that I ran into more issues using dates in Java because of timezones and bloody daylight savings times.
 
UNIX timestamps aren't supposed to be timezone sensitive... 1357020000 is supposed to be 6am UTC, 1am EST, and midnight CST.
 
@Ullallulloo Inline the images
 
@Ullallulloo and this --> number is always good for breaking up the steps if it's running together bad.
 
@RavenDreamer Like that?
 
Yes. bertter
 
1:26 AM
Ugh
Dead bodies disappear way to fast in AC3
 
@SaintWacko Isn't that beneficial?
 
@SaintWacko What if I wanted to eat corpses?
 
@Fluttershy this doesn't make any damn sense, but I'm having a much easier time using Content Manager with WiFi than USB, just FYI. A recent update might have messed up USB or something, I didn't used to have trouble with it

Q: Is it possible to buy upgraded versions of games you already own on Steam?

erikricI already own Deus Ex: Human Revolution - the regular edition, and it is linked to my Steam account. I would like to buy the 'Augmented Edition' which is now at a 75% discount (I like the soundtrack, and want the making of videos). Right now it doesn't seem possible to buy the other version. Is ...

 
@BenBrocka Noted. Thanks! What were you asking about earlier? How far am I in what?
 
@Fluttershy wipeout
Also come to think it it, it might be because I'm using USB 3.0 ports...but those should be backwards compatible
 
@BenBrocka Not far at all. Just started tonight and did the first group of races and stuff.
 
Ah
I got all the way to the A class races (I hate that the nixed the fun speed class names)
 
@AshleyNunn I think the PC Mirror's Edge supports game pads. But I'm not entirely sure.
 
1:50 AM
Steam's store now indicates controller support
 
@BenBrocka So far, I really like it. For now though, I must go. My friend is walking around in her underwear and I feel rude. >___>
 
@BenBrocka Actually, I thought it did for several years now. They just made it more prominent now due to Big Picture mode.
 
s/rude/nude
@Powerlord I never noticed it before Big Picture was started
 
@Lazers It's sad that I don't have an answer for this. I noticed at least one game has a separate "collector's edition upgrade" DLC.
However, that seems to be a per-game thing
Now that I've set up a special plugin to do things at midnight CST on RUGC_Midwest, the server went from 16 people to 1 person.
 
I figured they'd just be listed as separate ganes, guess not
 
1:54 AM
So what's the socially correct way to remedy your breaking the hourglass of your friend's sister's board game? I tried to give Amazon a look for a replacement unsuccessfully but this isn't my best night ever so to speak
 
@badp A stopwatch might also work as a replacement
 
I guess I could buy the game whole anew.
I know the time is supposed to be 40 seconds
 
Just say "time is relative", sagely nod and pretend you did them a favor
 
@badp Only 40 seconds? Hm
 
1:56 AM
it's taboo
I mean, the board game is called that
 
The correct solution is for you to attend every future game and countdown "one Mississippi, two Mississippi..." for them
 
pretty fun game
 
Wikipedia says the timer is a one-minute sand timer.
 
"Repair grenade" This feels wrong
 
One minute? I guess the hourglass had already list some sand then but that's not relevant here and now
 
1:58 AM
@badp Oh, I've played that game. </random>
 
Amazon has some of those, but I don't know about shipping.
 
@TimStone ChaCha says 30 second.
 
EST 2012 was a rather bad year for me :-\ although only barely enough to complain though, I mean, no one died
 
Was going to say, 30 seconds seemed pretty short.
I haven't played Taboo in forever...I wonder if I still have it somewhere.
 
2:01 AM
Amazon US dose, IT doesn't :-\
does
 
Ah, boo to that. :/
 
mainly boo because I have prime for Amazon it
 
@badp I can't read that one...
 
only egg sand timers though
so three four or five minutes
usually all of them
 
I can find quite a few on the US site.
 
2:09 AM
@AshleyNunn highfives
Woo!
 
user15026
Why am I getting a high five?
 
user15026
But I totally appreciate it!
 
user15026
Also I have vodka that tastes of cake
 
Cake? Interesting...I knew they had Fruit Loop flavoured vodka, but not cake.
 
There's one on Amazon UK but they won't ship to Italy
sigh
 
user15026
2:11 AM
@timstone it is fucking delicious
 
@badp I'd get one and ship it to you, but it seems like buying a new version of the game (or finding a timer in some local game store) is probably more convenient for you at that point, heh.
@AshleyNunn :O! Language! It must be delicious. My mom and sister got my girlfriend some sort of rum that when mixed with Firefly whiskey supposedly tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I'm personally a bit skeptical, but...
 
Looks like I missed a big fuss today?
 
user15026
@timstone wow. I do love cinnamon toast crunch.
 
@Tim yeah local store it is
 
user15026
@origamirobot it wasn't too bad.
 
2:15 AM
@AshleyNunn LPMF got banned?
 
user15026
Oh yeah, that happened.
 
user15026
30 min chat ban or something.
 
What do you want on your timstone?
 
@AshleyNunn Is it the UV stuff? They have lots of flavors but their basic and blueberry stuff tasted really bleh

Q: FIFA 13 cross-platform, any differences?

DanHMy friend bought Fifa 13 on Xbox and everybody's getting excited for tournaments etc. I only have a PC however, so I'm wondering, if I get Fifa 13 on PC, will I be able to accurately practice and learn the game and then transfer that knowledge? Or is there possibly some weird difference to cater ...

 
user15026
It's three olives cake vodka.
 
Either way I think I'll pass
 
user15026
@BenBrocka it is worth it. So yummy

Which Far Cry should I start on?
 
Hiya, Nic.
Mana(I think?) Suggested 2 or 3, but not 1.
 
I was going with 2 or 3
BUT WHICH
TELL ME RAVEN
 
Nah, I'll do 3
That's what I had decided before I asked.
 
4:05 AM
 
Far Cry 2 sucked.
I played for a half hour but the game didn't make any sense.
"Here, have no good ranged weapons but try to infiltrate this camp with 5 armed guards."
"Oh, also, if you do manage to sneak up on one and kill him, the other 4 will become omniscient."
 
Having never played either, I do not know.
 
Far Cry 3 doesn't look that amazing to me either, having watched about an hour of it on YouTube.
Pretty much just "go kill this group of 5 guys in this camp" x50.
Maybe the plot is good, but the open world part looks lame.
 
user15026
Dear Bridge do not ever ever ever snort vodka up your nose. It is a terrible experience.
 
The skinner box at work.
Holy, crap!
Why does this Skyward Sword music playlist have ~200 songs?
 
4:11 AM
@StrixVaria FINE MAYBE I'LL JUST GO TO SLEEP
 
@AshleyNunn Vodka is not cocaine
 
Ack. I'm getting confused by the two Girs again.
 
Hat drop!!!
 
It's GIR
 
The Janissary Ketche!
270 hours in.

Are you talking about Farcry 3, Hatdash, or Team Fortress 2?
 
@RavenDreamer TF2
 
grats, then!
 
I'm not sure how long it was before you gifted me premium though.
 
That was me?
 
@RavenDreamer I think.
 
4:20 AM
Aha, then I have, by the transitive property of TF2 Ownership, won a hat!
 
When Deus Ex: HR is only $4.99, I feel like the tiny DLC for it should be less than $3.74
 
is tonight over yet :O
 
@RavenDreamer Congratulations!
 
we need more LoL questions ~_~
 
@Brian It's only the 5th most popular tag on the site...

Q: How do I get multiple copies of the same portal key?

Q: What Effects do the Different Player Attributes Have on Gameplay?

Picnic ButtonWhen you start a new game of NEO Scavenger, you get to pick which abilities you want your character to have. Each of them has a short description when hovered over, but none of them really tell you exactly what they do in terms of gameplay. For example, I've noticed that 'Myopia' (description: ...

That must have gotten downvote because the score went down. Did I do something wrong?
 
@PicnicButton No, your question looks fine.
 
@PicnicButton Me too
 
It looks like you may have gotten the developer themself to answer the question, though!
 
5:38 AM
Maybe someone just retracted their upvote. :)
 
no, there's one downvote on it.
 
@PicnicButton No, you got a downvote, but people just do that. You shouldn't worry about a +5 question getting one downvote
 
(You can see votes at 1k rep, I think?)
@murgatroid99 Pretty much this, @PicnicButton
 
@RavenDreamer sounds right
 
@murgatroid99 +5? I only see '3'.
Plus one for the downvote I guess. So four?
 
5:40 AM
@PicnicButton +6
 
Oh, let me refresh
Haha, thanks guys. :)
 
It's +5 right now (with the downvote)
It was +4 when I said it
 
I was just wondering if I could improve it or something.
I can't see why it would be downvoted, but I am biased...
 
I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it; your questions are fine so far!
 
'Question' :P

Oops, you're right. You have two answers. Well, had.
 
I messed one of them up so I deleted it.

@YiJiang What a positive contributor.
 
I found a Dwarven Atom Smasher in Dungeon of Dredmor. It's a max star mace with 40 crushing + 5 transmugenic damage
It is also ridiculously expensive

@YiJiang by the end of my "win" game, I had a pile of one of the most legendary staves in the game. I think I found like... 10. a few had extra artifact qualities as well.
I found one at a ridiculously low level due to a portal to level 0. that thing was a pain to clear, but it paid off.

Q: Can you use the darkness to hide?

KenIn many stealth games you can hide, and lay bodies in the shadows / dark places to remain undetected. Can you do this in Dishonored, or the only thing that counts is cover behind objects?

 
The plane contains random monsters from any of the dungeon levels. I think I died twice in there before learning my lesson.
Meet Catherine - Vegan, Tinkerer, Promethean Mage. I'm not sure if she's doing every single type of damage possible yet, but she's pretty close.

4:17 PM
@RavenDreamer I picked up G&K, just I don't have the other DLC
well, I have some of the DLC. but not all of it. I think I have more than $5 worth to buy.
 
@agent86 Yeah, if you get the GotY edition, do note that it is missing Korea
GotY + Korea + Gods and Kings should give you all the civs.
 
@RavenDreamer why korea? what a weird choice.
I may have korea already...
 
Because it was the last one they released, and it came out after the GotY edition, I believe.
 
nope, must be thinking of something else.
maybe china.
 
china was in the base game

Q: Minecraft Force Update Problem

BobbybobboIn Minecraft 1.4.6 I wanted to download a mod so I did force update. I checked back in the file but the other normal files weren't there. I downloaded the mod anyways (Too Many Items) But it didn't work. How do I fix this?

 
6:38 PM
Man, seeing games that were supposed to be released this year, but got cancelled instead is depressing.
@Wipqozn Eh. It's already dead, though. Four followers after two months? Yeah, that's not going anywhere.
 
@Wipqozn Lesson learned.
Go play video games.
 
@fbueckert That reminds me
 
I hope everyone had a good New Year
 
You should look into the game Distant Worlds @fbueckert. You're a fan of 4X games I believe, and it's a rather excellent one. I recently purchased it, and I'm quite enjoying it, although I'm still getting the hang of the basics (see also: complex as fuck).
 
6:47 PM
Distant Worlds...rings a bell...but I don't remember why.
It's not on Steam. Boo.
Oh, yes. Now I remember.
I have played it. Didn't like it because the game automates everything for you.
And ship building is crazy complex, but you don't know what half the stuff does.

@Wipqozn If you really want to play a complex 4X, play Space Empires V.
 
@fbueckert I prefer that Distant Worlds is in real time
 
@Wipqozn I thought the logistics of it was fantastic.
Especially all the different types of resources.
 
@fbueckert I might give it a look at sometime in the future.
 
6:58 PM
But don't dumb it down for me and transfer it all around to make it easier for me.
 
@fbueckert That's something I like about Distant Worlds.
 
Make me set up my supply routes and build the ships to make it work.
