I'm really liking XCOM.

I just wish the research tree was a little more in-depth than it is.

Q: Wii U error 103-2001 / 103-2101 when trying to set up wifi

I just got a Wii U and it seems it must not like my router (a Linksys E3000). No other devices seem to have a problem. When I enter the settings in the system menu the connection to the router completes successfully but the connection to the Internet does not. I've tried with DHCP as well as w...

It's too easy to get to plasma weaponry.

SaintWacko

@fbueckert What difficulty?

fbueckert

@SaintWacko Normal

SaintWacko

@fbueckert There's your problem :P

Play classic ironman

fbueckert

23:02

It's not the, "Kill alien holding plasma rifle to unlock research" bit that I'm talking about.

It's the Normal --> Laser --> Plasma tech tree.

I'd like more incremental upgrades in between.

MBraedley

Jenna-Louise Coleman, I cannot wait four more months for you to grace my television with your presence again. (sigh)

Ronan Forman

23:18

@MBraedley If you need software to record, try Open Broadcaster software I haven't used it, but it is vouched for.

badp

Serious Sam 3 is currently 85% off. €4

Bastion is €3½ otoh.

GnomeSlice

@badp otoh?

badp

on the other hand

Maybe tomorrow Bit Trip Core or Void will go on sale. Maybe. Although, if they haven't so far, they probably won't on the final day either

LessPop_MoreFizz

I am still waiting for a sale on Alpha Protocol. :(

MBraedley

@RonanForman I tried CamStudio before, and it failed miserably. That's why I said buy.

Ronan Forman

23:24

@MBraedley I'm testing this out, it looks decent. It's technially for livestreaming, but has an output to file mode too.

badp

I've tried a few recording programs. If you don't want to buy anything and are okay with the 30 seconds limit, get FRAPS. If you don't want to buy anything and aren't put up with Taksi. If you're willing to pay get Dxtory.

(Open Broadcaster was a thorough disappointment.)

Ronan Forman

@badp Why?

badp

@RonanForman It works worse than Taksi, and that says a lot.

Raven Dreamer

How do I get the Steam Mobile app?

badp

It records like crap.

(I only tried it with Shatter)

The only positive part about OBS is that it doesn't slow down the game in the slightest. You pay this very much in the recorded video framerate however.

@RavenDreamer What device?

Raven Dreamer

23:27

@badp android

badp

@RavenDreamer Play store.

Raven Dreamer

@badp Dxtory looks good.

@badp Holy @#$*.

I just told my phone to download an app.

badp

The free version of Dxtory doesn't have a length limit, it just writes "UNREGISTERED" all over your recording in very large type.

Raven Dreamer

From my computer!

That is. Wow.

I am the future!

GnomeSlice

@badp playclaw.com

Ronan Forman

23:29

@GnomeSlice I think you pinged the wrong person.

badp

@RavenDreamer You are the future. It is you.

Raven Dreamer

@RonanForman No, I just mentioned Dxtory above

So I went to a place called "Which wich" for lunch.

They are a sub place.

Q: Myst Comics: Myst: Passages #0

I cannot seem to find a release date for the second published Myst comic book by Dark Horse Comics. Myst #0: Passages Dark Horse says that #1 was released on "September 03, 1997", and #0 was published later. But as for even a general idea of how later, I have no idea.

myst-series

Raven Dreamer

Their special is a sandwich called, "The Wicked".

I was halfway through lunch when I realized - it's a Wicked 'wich!

badp

@GnomeSlice Not particularly cheaper than FRAPS

GnomeSlice

23:31

Fraps is super buggy.

badp

also the model is freaking me out

GnomeSlice

@badp Why is everyone in here scared of women?

I've been meaning to try playclaw.

badp

I'm not scared of women, that one model is freaking me out is all.

GnomeSlice

Fraps has been misbehaving of late.

Raven Dreamer

How much is 3600 yen, anyway?

badp

23:32

3600 Japanese Yen equals
41.23 US Dollar

Raven Dreamer

I was just googling that, thank you.

Ronan Forman

I dont' see why there isn't and free recording software that has a halfway decent UI.

Raven Dreamer

I am still hoping Steam will do that, eventually

badp

@RonanForman because people apparently are willing to pay for recording software that has a halfway decent UI, I guess.

Those who aren't pirate them anyway.

Ronan Forman

@badp That'd be it.

GnomeSlice

23:33

@RonanForman Because anyone who makes a screen capture software for free isn't going to be a designer.

Raven Dreamer

Programmers are not often designers. Yes. This is true.

It's also a sad.

GnomeSlice

Wat. Video Recording Software on Steam Greenlight

Wipqozn

@Lazers off-topic, too localized, speculation... choose one, and VTC.

badp

@GnomeSlice steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=103234337

Ronan Forman

I wonder how hard it'd be to make recording software...

Raven Dreamer

23:37

> George Washington is a 600 pound beast man that has had sex with all our wives. God I hate George Washington, but I respect him. Hell of a sales man too.

Wat.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman We could get someone to make it and you and I could do the UI, lol.

Decency

@MBraedley FFSplit and XSplit worth noting if you're streaming from a computer.

GnomeSlice

Probably fairly hard to make a good one.

James

@RonanForman Tricksy

Ronan Forman

@James From experience?

MBraedley

23:38

@Decency Not streaming, just recording

Raven Dreamer

@RonanForman Generally, it's easy to get a picture of the screen once. It's the continuous, 60 frames per second / compressing shenanigans that make it interesting.

James

@RonanForman Nah, just seeing what they do (reading video buffers) and knowing that is tricksy :)

Decency

@MBraedley XSplit can do local recording, not sure about FF but I'd assume the same.

MBraedley

@Decency Yes, but since this will only be occasionally, I don't want to pay much if any money for it.

James

I have heard people talk about PlayClaw before though

There was some software I was looking at not to long ago as I am considering doing some live streaming

@MBraedley Need to record your desktop ??

badp

23:40

@James You can do basic live streaming comfortably enough with the Adobe Media Encoder thingadongdong

MBraedley

@James Game footage. Desktop stuff is easy with CamStudio

badp

or maybe try Open Broadcasting System - it's probably better at, yknow, broadcasting than recording.

@MBraedley CamStudio is responsible for so many terrible videos on Youtube, it's real sad.

James

@MBraedley Ah, I always suggest just using FRAPs but you need an encoder.. if you are not doing video editing though Windows Live Movie Maker works just fine

MBraedley

@badp Because those people don't know how to configure it properly

GnomeSlice

@MBraedley adobe.com/products/flash-media-encoder.html

badp

23:41

Yeah, you'll need an encoder no matter what you use

GnomeSlice

Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder worked for me when I was trying to livestream.

James

@badp I want to do both actually, Record an episode but also stream it live to those whom are interested :)

GnomeSlice

I had to make the quality shitty because of my connection, but...

@James use adobe.com/products/flash-media-encoder.html with twitch.tv

twitch.tv/gnomeslice/videos?kind=past_broadcasts

badp

@James Stuff like Livestream promise you to do just this... or you could wait for Youtube streaming to become more widespread, or just use Google+ hangouts? I dunno.

James

@badp Hangouts seemed to just want to broadcast webcams, not video games

Decency

23:43

@MBraedley Yeah both have free versions that let you do this. They're both built for recording games.

badp

@James which is why there's programs that create virtual webcams that feed off your desktop/games

(I can't name any here and now)

MBraedley

@Decency Yeah, but they'll either 1: limit the length or 2: plaster my video with watermarks

badp

I've tried Livestream-recording long-form stuff though and oh boy doesn't it suck.

James

@badp Haha, I think Id rather just find software meant to do it from the get go

badp

At least on my connection the stream keeps dropping.

GnomeSlice

23:44

Is nobody listening to me?

badp

@James To be fair it's the only piece of software you need on your computer.

James

@badp Ignoring what the hangouts require?

GnomeSlice

It's hard to find a decent free screen capture tool.

Ronan Forman

I should be building a list of this kind of software.

badp

@James I dunno what the hangouts do require, I know they exist and that they are the only way for the general public to stream on Youtube

GnomeSlice

23:45

And a 'screen capture' tool isn't necessarily what you want.

Decency

@MBraedley Doesn't look like it to me, but alrighty. They literally just record the video and you upload it to youtube.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Screen recording? I can give you a list.

badp

The only other person I know who got access to real Youtube streaming did so by selling his soul to Machinima. No thanks

James

@MBraedley Did you check out the Playclaw demo?

MBraedley

@James No, not yet

badp

23:46

(He also gave up on Youtube streaming anyway because of ads or something)

James

@badp seems playclaw has that virtual webcam stuff in it

What interests me the most though is the 16 audio source recording

If I could separate the audio tracks for myself, Mumble and the game

that would be -awesome-

GnomeSlice

Can you guys tell me if this has a watermark? twitch.tv/gnomeslice

I can't find the exact link to the stream

wait that's it

James

@GnomeSlice It does

It seems smooth though

GnomeSlice

@James What does it say?

wtf, xsplit?

I'm not even using Xsplit

My last one did this too

I'm using Adobe flash media encoder and twitch tv

Ronan Forman

@James I was complaining about that a while back, did you find a solution that doesn't require virtual audio cables?

badp

23:49

@GnomeSlice There's a setting in AFME-whatever to add a watermark if I'm not mistaken

James

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Presumably you can get a virtual mixer to do it

@badp In what?

Oh

badp

Adpbe Flash Media Whatever Thingy

James

@RonanForman Multiple audio sources?

GnomeSlice

Let me check.

Decency

23:50

@MBraedley Also found this: teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=372629

GnomeSlice

@badp do you know HOW?

badp

The tab with the settings

Ronan Forman

@James Yeah.

badp

It's been a while

I don't have it installed

GnomeSlice

@badp I don't see no settings tab

badp

23:51

uh, it's the tab that opens on launch

GnomeSlice

this one?

MBraedley

It seems I got OBS to work properly. May not have had it fully configured a few minutes ago

badp

Yeah

GnomeSlice

k just a sec

James

@RonanForman Dunno I have not tried that demo yet, but I think I might tonight :)

badp

23:52

meh I don't see the setting

GnomeSlice

I don't see one.

Ronan Forman

@James What demo?

badp

Sorry. What's your video device btw?

James

@RonanForman For that play claw software

badp

I guess it must be that adding the watermark

James

23:53

@RonanForman playclaw.com

Ronan Forman

@MBr Turn up your buffer, it seems to reduce lag.

GnomeSlice

bloody hell

Ronan Forman

@James Thanks.

James

@RonanForman If you give it a go let me know

Otherwise I will do likewise this evening :)

MBraedley

@RonanForman The video buffer? It's set at the default of 1000kb/s. Should I double that?

GnomeSlice

23:55

I pirated the full version of Blueberry Flashback a while ago. It was great if you knew how to set it up. Looks like there's a free one now too.

Ronan Forman

@MBr Higher is better, but uses more RAM. Turn the quality up to at least 5000, I don't know about the buffer though.

James

@RonanForman I think he meant to @MBraedley instead of me here :)

Ronan Forman

@James Yeah.

GnomeSlice

Okay. Playclaw + ALME doesn't work
