@GnomeSlice That's what closing the gap is. You burn such that your next encounter will be close
 
@Fluttershy I didn't know this. I feel so gross.
 
@MBraedley urhgklibvhkbvjehrvbjesd whatever
Nice job
 
@JasonBerkan Do you still need it to move music / files over?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yeah. Forgot about that, because I don't care much about music.
 
4:02 PM
@badp You need it less and less, but if you let it touch your iPad it's still really convoluted and screwed up
 
@JasonBerkan ಠ_ಠ
 
@BenBrocka Yknow, it's still a store, and a music player, and you can also buy books, but not read them I guess, and you can buy apps, but not computer apps, just phone apps, you know, for your phone, so you can arrange them on your device screen but not any more than that, and...
 
@GnomeSlice At 3:27, I do a burn that will put my CPA at 1km. Then when I'm about 6km out, I start my initial approach
 
I hate iTunes. I'm afraid to plug any of my stuff into it because it just shits all over it.
@MBraedley You don't mention why you're burning where you're burning. I'm dumb.
 
4:04 PM
@GnomeSlice If I had recorded commentary, I would have.
 
@Wipqozn Oh, hey, this image. Again.
 
@badp I only got it for iTunes match but even that's pretty convoluted and doesn't work right sometimes so I'm just going to use google play's thing
 
and, yeah, as you said, it also syncs stuff, but only one way.
 
@Wipqozn Who's the one entirely covered in mud?
 
@BenBrocka I tried making an instant mix out of a song and maybe the first one or two songs were good picks, the others... not so much
 
4:05 PM
@StrixVaria Clayface.
 
@Ullallulloo That would explain why I didn't know who that was.
I've never heard of "Clayface".
 
Me neither.
 
@badp iTunes Match replaced one of my Rammstein songs with that Mockingbird song
 
also Android can't wrap its head around the fact that I've manually uploaded my music to both Google Play Music and my Nexus 7 and now Google Play Music on the Nexus 7 shows both. Separately
 
iTunes routinely edits my music files so that they're only a few seconds long.
 
4:07 PM
Scarecrow is the coolest Batman villain.

Q: Downloading DLC on XBL with a Silver account?

Domenik VanBuskirkI purchased the Season Pass along with Borderlands 2 when it first came out. Since then my Xbox-live service has ended and I don't see myself paying for more anytime soon. Will I still be able to download the other campaigns for Borderlands 2 as long as I have an internet connection, even though...

 
At any rate I can't really fault Google for failing to match Lost Temple of Croatoa Suite to many other songs. There's only so much awesome music to go!
 
@StrixVaria You've played Arkham Asylum, right?
 
@Powerlord I am playing it.
I've encountered Scarecrow twice.
 
@StrixVaria Clayface is in that game, although not as an enemy you fight.
 
4:10 PM
@Powerlord Ah ok. I'll watch out for him.
 
Come on Audiosurf... 2.4 MB update, let's go.
 
@GnomeSlice Game is awesome.
 
0.6.....
@StrixVaria I'm aware.
I haven't played it in a while though and Steam wants to convert it to some shit.
1.5...
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DOWNLOAD 2.4 MB
DUEBUYLWERUILRV;RURWEBUI.L;E.RJKVRNER
 
@GnomeSlice With your connection? 15 minutes
 
DONE
 
4:12 PM
@GnomeSlice have you considered upgrading to dialup?
6
 
Hey, Audiosurf is posting links to ChiptuneRush. Awesome!
 
@fredley Oh, hey. This image.
 
@GraceNote It old?
 
@fredley What's the thing directly behind him?
 
4:14 PM
@fredley Not in here it ain't.
 
@GnomeSlice Creeper
@GraceNote Ah, my apologies
 
@GnomeSlice Creeper.
 
@kalina Just curious, are you going to try to make enough ISK to play the game for free?
 
@fredley Doesn't look much like one.
 
You're quite the visual type today, Grace
 
4:15 PM
@fredley You shouldn't apologize because you posted something that is new to people in here but I happened to recognize from a long ways back from a different zone of the internet.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I don't know, ask me in ~14 days if I'm still playing
 
(I'd typed up that message, decided to not send it without clearing the message box, picked up my tablet to check one thing and pressed Enter with my elbow accidentally. So I guess it was destiny for me to submit this message or whatever)

Q: How do I play EVE Online for free?

fbreretoWhile looking up EVE Online on Steam there is feature bullet that reads: Play for FREE – You can buy game time with in-game money you earn while playing. Does anyone have experience playing under this gaming model? If I play the game casually (a couple hours a week) will I be able to earn ...

 
@GnomeSlice You ever try playing songs that are pretty much constant red throughout?
 
(I also forgot what I was checking)
 
4:15 PM
It's intense.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, it's fun.
Except I don't play as Mono.
 
Mono is the most fun game mode really
123121312131232131231232132131231WAAAARGH
 
I don't remember the names of the guys. Is mono the one where there's colors and grays and avoid the grays?
 
@StrixVaria Yes
I'm gonna try this song.
 
@badp What are these numbers?
 
4:16 PM
I play as Eraser.
 
@GnomeSlice That's generally all I ever play.
Mono or Pusher.
But almost always Mono.
 
@StrixVaria 1 for left column, 2 for center column, 3 for right column
 
@badp Ork lullaby?
 
@badp Oh I use the mouse.
Am I weird?
 
I always use the mouse too
 
4:17 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone really, 300M isk for 30 days?
 
@StrixVaria I prefer the keyboard for the 1-3/3-1 transitions really
 
I don't even know what I'm doing and I'm already at 2.5M
 
Hahah, I play all kinds of shit nobody listens to. Or at least, not with the same file name.
 
I wouldn't use the keyboard for non-Mono playmodes either
 
Ugh now I'm going to have to play Audiosurf tonight.
 
4:18 PM
@kalina Unless it's changed recently, yup.
 
@BenBrocka Hah, like Orkz know what numberz iz
 
maybe I should create a spreadsheet to work out the most profitable items to farm
 
I AM PRO CHAMPION OF LOTS OF THINGS
 
(joke)
 
I still haven't tried Overlord.
 
4:18 PM
but for Mono moving accurately and quickly is all you need.
 
I still haven't finished Arkham Asylum.
DAMMIT WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY GAMES
 
When they talk about thousands of dollars of ships and goods lost in a single EVE battle, this is how they get that number
 
@OrigamiRobot Numberz iz how many headz you popped
 
@badp Part of what I like doing is fancy weaving through grays trying not to screw myself.
 
@BenBrocka answer is always not enuff
 
4:19 PM
@StrixVaria Preaching to the choir are we?
 
I also started DMC4 and Darksiders to see which of those 2 I like better.
I think Darksiders is winning.
 
I wonder if you look at the amount of time it takes to earn 300M ISK in EVE, and the amount of work you need to do in real life to earn enough for a month of EVE, what sort of job would you be better off doing
 
@kalina Apparently it's not that hard to reach as a number, but I figure that then you aren't doing much in game progression
 
@RonanForman I can't make my 3 Kerbal capsule explode when dropping on the launch pad. I'm only getting 2g when dropping from 100m and hitting at about 15m/s
 
4:29 PM
@GnomeSlice No Ninja? AGAIN!
 
Nice answer deletion, @Mana.
 
@GnomeSlice People play Pro?
 
@MBraedley Well they were in a Mun lander at the time. But I assumed it was just velocity that'd affect landing.
 
@RonanForman I'm pretty sure it's the g force, which is from the speed and terrain you're hitting. Was there anything else attached when it hit?
 
4:34 PM
@MBraedley As I said, it was a Mun lander.
 
So everything
 
Not too much, it was the T-C4N pad with 3 of the radial engines attached.
 
woo, 199 questions and 999 answers
 
You must stop
 
@agent86 I see less on your profile. Are you counting deleted answers and questions?
 
4:39 PM
199999 is better than 2001000
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone d'aww, probably. I forgot my moderator counts show those.
@tiddy clearly I have done enough. any more would be excessive.
 
@agent86 Clearly this means you must play 999.
 
@Powerlord I do own a DS, although I haven't played many of the 'visual novel' games for it. I think I intended to play Hotel Dusk at one point.

When I target the first asteroid and use a mining laser, this will start mining from the targeted aste...

Q: Zombie Panic freezes after loading the game

AssraceAfter I join a server the game freezes almost instantly, which causes me to shut it down by th taskmanager. my question is: How do I fix this problem. (dont say it's because of the ram, cause I have 16gb)

 
@StrixVaria I play as Eraser, and there is no ninja eraser.
 
4:41 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone what are my counts at from your perspective?
 
Wait, yes there is.
Oh well.
I like Pro.
Me pro much.
 
@agent86 198 questions and 932 answers
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone gah, how do I have that many deleted answers I wonder.
 
@badp The real problem with Google Fiber is that I can't get it yet
5
 
@agent86 ITG?
 
4:42 PM
@agent86 You obviously are not a good fit for this site and should be banned.
 
@DaveMcClelland It's okay, I don't live in the US and don't buy into the American dream... of Google Fiber :P
 
@BenBrocka right, that's it. I was just getting that far back in my history to see ITG.
 
@DaveMcClelland Seriously.
 
@badp 'MURRCA
 
@JasonBerkan in soviet arqade, you ban moderator!
 
4:43 PM
@StrixVaria Your hat fits you handsomely
I loved watching it load slowly.
 
@badp ahem
*unsubtle coughs*
 
WHY DO I NEED QUICKTIME
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone shush. You made an avatar that fitted your hat. That's not even remotely close.
It's actually CHEATING.
 
@RonanForman There we go, now I have explosions.
 
@badp Well, you also need to find the hat to fit the gravatar
 
4:45 PM
@MBraedley Ah, great, I'm going to need to edit my question aren't I.
 
Whee, pundit badge
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone yeah, well, duh. Would the Sniper use the Stately Steel Toe?
 
@RonanForman Yeah, I think so. The tin can is much more flimsy compared to the other capsules
 
@badp That's a terrible metaphor
 
Why you were trying to bring Kerbals back in that is beyond me

Q: Monsters respawn and loot in Legend of Grimrock

DrakeI have two simple questions about monsters in Legend of Grimrock. Do monsters respawn? This is important to me to understand if I can safely rest or looking around the level, once I have defeated all monsters a dungeon floor or section. Is Monsters' loot fixed or random?

TOO MANY QUESTIONS IN ONE
 
@GnomeSlice A question about monster respawn flows naturally into the amount of loot they carry on respawn.
 
@badp twitch
 
btw your turn is ready @GnomeSlice.
(and John, and Ullallulloo)
 
@badp I'm having company over today, and they've just arrived.
 
@GnomeSlice Later

@badp I like how it comes down over my eyes.

Q: How can I calibrate my Xbox360 controller in Ubuntu 12.10?

Pablo ViollierI was trying to play The Walking Dead Game with my Xbox360 controller and it didn't work, in this same site a helpful user told me it was a wine problem and not the driver or the game. So, I tried using the controller in Team Fortress2 for Ubuntu Steam, it detects the controller and all, but righ...

Q: Is Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door a JRPG or normal RPG?

luuk2305I've played this game a lot on my PC after losing it for the GameCube, but I can't seem to find information about it. But, is the game a JRPG (Japanese RPG) or normal RPG?

 
@Ender because it isn't?
 
@Ender Rejected migration. The question got punted back to where it came from.
 
@Yi thanks
@badp FAIL!
 
4:55 PM
noooo
there are pirates next to the asteroid I am farming!
 
@Ender what? It isn't locked.
---visibily
I can unlock it anyway.
 
@kalina Do you not have any weapons equipped?
 
lola
 
High sec pirates are pretty weak
 
not on my mining ship no, I have 2 mining lasers
 
4:56 PM
@badp told ya
 
@Ender meh, first time I see a locked question without a "locked by" line. :P
Post deleted anyway.
 
The # of occasions where your wrong and I'm right is few. I take this time to gloat.
 
@Ender That is wrong. Take for example DOTA 2.
 
@badp in the year I've been a member here I've corrected YOU (rather than the other way around ) less than 5 times. I'm one of those anal idiots that take being right ENTIRELY too seriously, so sadly these things are what my memory chooses to record.
 
@Ender Wow, what a terrible question.
 
4:58 PM
@powerlord I wasnt interested in the question itself, only why it was locked.
 
btw how'd you notice it was locked?
 
I happened to mouse over the edit button, noticed it was greyed out, and stuck around to read the
 
@badp The edit button is greyed out
 
tooltip
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone uh, not for me.
 
5:00 PM
I was actually plannin on writing a comment, if not an answer, as to what a JRPG is compared to a regular one
 
@badp You've got super diamond blue mod powers
 
so when i went back to take a look.... this snowball started.
 
@Ender okay, the lack of an "add comment" button should've been the giveaway. That's true
Thanks.
 
@Ender you sound like you need a deep breath and perhaps a beer :)
 
@Agent86 The powers of perception are strong in this one.
 
5:01 PM
typical, I warp back with the ship that has guns and they're gone

Somebody doesn't like chess.
 
@Ender My downvote has nothing to do with my opinion on chess (although you're right; I don't like chess), and everything to do with thinking that it's a stupid suggestion.
 
<3
 
:P
Is that not what meta votes are for?
 
10 bux says if you liked chess you wouldn't feel it was stupid.
;-)
 
5:09 PM
If you suggested a MtG simulator for the bridge I still would have downvoted it.
If it makes you feel better.
It's just as related to gaming as chess.
 
no way
 
MtG is a non-video-game game that has video-game representations, the same as chess.
 
MtG requires you to accumulate a collection of objects to increase your chances of bringing 'competition' to the table
Chess requires you know left from right, and can recognize a square from a circle.
 
They are both strategy games.
That were not originally video games.
 
your comparing a trading card game with a CLASSIC board game
i think thats a bit of a stretch
 
5:12 PM
@Ender You're comparing a board game to a CLASSIC TCG.
I think that's a bit of a stretch.
 
LOL
 
I just wish it was red

Q: What formula is used for the increase in training speed by having multiple barracks

corsiKaI was under the impression (apparently mistakenly) that having multiple barracks of a level capable of training a given troop would allow you to spread the training around. For example, if I have a troop who requires a level 6 barracks to train, and my barracks are levels 7 6 5 4, then it will tr...

@BenBrocka that's good!
 
5:56 PM
@Ender From the strictest definition, all Paper Mario games (except Super) are JRPGs... because they're RPGs made in Japan. :P
 
@RonanForman I've done some !!SCIENCE!!, but unfortunately, the full results will have to wait until next week, as I'm headed back to my parents today. Suffice it to say, 8m/s seems to be the limit for the tin can landing perfectly vertically on ground (the launch pad).
 
@MBraedley So close.
 
There's some caveats and gotchas in there as well
 
@agent86 The frogurt is also misspelled
 
@BenBrocka that's bad :(
 
5:58 PM
@MBraedley See, thanks to y'all yesterday, any time I hear y'all doing "SCIENCE" I have to imagine y'all are bein' creepy and watchin' folk.
2
 
lol
 
Anytime I hear SCIENCE I think DF style !!Science!!
 
@GraceNote Pft. Less than 40% of my science involves that
 
@GraceNote ... how else do you do science?
 
@agent86 Sometimes I use explosions. Mostly fire
 
5:59 PM
step 1: beakers. step 2: creepy voyeurism. step 3: explosions. step 4: SCIENCE
2
I keep a beaker on my desk just in case of SCIENCE
 
If we got the explosions inside the beaker our science would be 25% more efficient
 
Many Kerbals died during my exploration of science today. All but three will be completely forgotten by tomorrow.
 
@BenBrocka And 100% more glass shard filled!
@MBraedley Such is the price of progress
 
@MBraedley many kerbals died to bring us this information.
 
Is Rage showing as 40% off for the daily deal for anyone else?
 
6:03 PM
@agent86 Many more died for shits and giggles
 
@Fluttershy 75% here
 
@agent86 Okay. I was about to make fun of Steam since it's been cheaper as a flash sale. =P
But it's just the mobile app being dumb.
 
@Fluttershy probably just GabeN didn't stab the price enough before noon.
 
Probably that.
 
it's also right at the sale transition point, and wacky things happen right around when the deals switch.
just compulsively refresh until the servers crash or SCIENCE happens, or both.
 
6:06 PM
Anyways, I'm off. Later all.
 
yay, I have extra copies of DOTA 2
I mean, MORE extra copies of DOTA 2
I'll just start handing them away to people, whether they want them or not
starting with @Gnomeslice, who I'm sure can't wait to download a 10 GB game :P
 
@Fluttershy Sometimes Steam has the wrong price for a few minutes after a sale starts.
or maybe I should say after it's supposed to start.

ridicolous
 
@AshleyNunn So, still moving?
@badp Don't bother trying to hand me one. Despite me never having gotten one, viewing the DOTA2 page on Steam tells me I own it.
 
@Powerlord As far as I can tell you removed yourself from my friends list shortly after that Reddit exchange - so I can't send you one anyway.
That, or Steam removed people from my friends list randomly. That also happened to me.
 
6:30 PM
@badp Probably well before that. I removed basically everyone from Arqade when I left the site.

6:45 PM
@badp I'm not that bothered, I don't know if I have 10Gb free.
On the hard drive with steam on that is.
 
@RonanForman Make a new library.
 
I'd prefer it if steam would actually delete the game fully when I told it to though.

Q: Are there any effects that improve the accuracy of the Vehicle Machine Gun?

DiabloMonkeyIn Borderlands 2, the machine gun on the vehicle has a pretty wide spray (making it difficult to deal moderate damage at anything but close range). Is the accuracy of that weapon affected by skills or tokens or anything else?

 
@badp Horse?
 
70Gb free, not too bad.

@StrixVaria Get on my horse, my horse is amazing.
(I never actually sent anybody "horse" iirc. I personalized that field with something different for every recipient <3)
 
What's Dota 2 test?
 
the DOTA 2 equivalent of TF2 Beta I'd say
They used it once to publish balance fixes during a tourney without affecting said tourney
 
@RonanForman It doesn't? That's weird, because it definitely deletes save files from many games...
@badp Where are those coming from anyway?
 
@BenBrocka It leaves some of the .cfg files sometimes.
@BenBrocka Drug money.
 
@BenBrocka Full DOTA owners periodically get 4 gift copies to give away
