@OrigamiRobot I was thinking about it, but i still haven't gotten around to finishing the other games and i just bought BL2 so wont be doing it for a while

Okay, better question.

Do you care about the seven TF2 promo items?

Unionhawk

@badp Probably not

If they have stats, maybe.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

3:16 PM

IIRC the Infinite is suppose to be referring to, uh, spoilers

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Yeah, it is on the case even. But the hyperdimention neptunia is the problem, not that

OrigamiRobot

@badp Not really. It's just hats right?

badp

@OrigamiRobot Yes.

Ben Brocka

@badp I think you're thinking of Elder Scrolls Online

Unionhawk

@badp Then heck no.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

3:17 PM

"Thunderbolts" -> "Magical Lightning" in Taiwan, "Lightning Pegasus Team" in Mainland China

badp

@Unionhawk You could make $10 off the steam market with them.

@BenBrocka No, I was pretty certain Bioshock Infinite - and no other title - was going to be an MMORPG

Grace Note

@BenBrocka You fit it for mk2 at 2, which is as long as V, so I don't think we'll have a problem.

badp

I thought the prerelease game thing was supposed to give you extra bound trinkets or something for the MMORPG, too.

Unionhawk

@badp Ooo, $10. Though, I kind of do want Bioshock Infinite, and I do recall the pyro hat looking cool... Idk

user15026

@yijiang the differences in translations always fascinate me

Ben Brocka

3:19 PM

@GraceNote Oh, I didn't mean tags, though it's probably pretty close to the boundry isn't it

badp

@Unionhawk Estimate

OrigamiRobot

@badp That means the only reason to be interested is to sell them later.

BoltClock

Leaving.

badp

Depends on how much the Steam Market prices them

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Precisely 25 with the V.

Unionhawk

3:19 PM

@badp Well, whatever. I'll probably not sell them either way.

badp

@OrigamiRobot Well, you aren't even getting a discount with your preorder, which is pretty harsh.

Grace Note

Also, you can just say "Neptunia V" if you want to say it fast.

Unionhawk

But I really shouldn't be spending money on games right now...

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

It's strange. Even the names that are phonetic translation are different between the two versions

OrigamiRobot

@badp I can if I want. There are a million preorder deals

Grace Note

3:20 PM

The other place I'm at, that's how we call call it. If we don't just call it V at this point, haha.

OrigamiRobot

I'm probably going to get the amazon deal that comes with $30 2K credit

fbueckert

After the fiasco that was Simcity and Aliens, why would anyone pre-order any game? You're essentially giving the publisher carte-blanche to release shit.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Because when the game is 1 day away, there is nothing to lose and everything to gain.

user15026

@fbueckert I sometimes do it in a thought of "I have money now and likely won't later" - which is the only reason I can have Luigis Mansion

OrigamiRobot

Assuming you were going to buy it day one anyway

fbueckert

3:23 PM

@OrigamiRobot If you're going to buy it day 1, then yeah. @AshleyNunn brings up a good point, too.

Mostly, though, waiting a month will chop a third off the price.

So if you're willing to wait, there's no reason to buy it day one. And it gives you time to read reviews, to see if it's even worth that much.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I'm already getting $30 in 2K credit and XCOM with it.

Preorder bonuses are a thing.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot And most of them aren't worth it.

Because they'll be selling them separately later on.

Unless you really want the physical geegaw they're selling.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Depends on how Steam structures it.

OrigamiRobot

3:29 PM

W/e, I'm doing it for the $30 credit.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Is there a 2K game you plan on getting?

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert The Bioshock Infinite Season pass for $20 and the 6th BL2 class for $10.

> The game will also feature an optional "1999 Mode", harkening back to games like System Shock 2 where decisions made by the player will have a more permanent impact on the game, possibly leading the player to an unwinnable situation and requiring a restart from an earlier saved game.

<3

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot I find it interesting they're offering a set amount of credit, instead of DLC or something.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert That's just the amazon deal.

Oh, also the Season pass is ineligible :(

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Well, that's stupid.

Q: Modern Warfare 3: How to be a good sniper?

I recently bought Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and with my most loved classes I end up having a K:D ratio of 2:1 or 3:1 almost every game. But when it comes to playing as a sniper I just get to 1:1 ratios. I usually play a bit kamikaze style, much running, precise shooting and always surprisin...

modern-warfare-3

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Versus today's moral choice "Good ending"/"Bad ending". Which is often just shit anyway.

SaintWacko

I've gotten to where I only play with the Vampire class

And usually Dual wielding

everything else changes, though

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@SaintWacko Heh. My winning combination used Killer Vegan

SaintWacko

3:37 PM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I've never used that one

I haven't won yet, but only because I get distracted by other games :P

Sconibulus

Good ending: Ascend to demigod bar! Bad ending: Escape in disgrace and shame...

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

It's pretty cool. You can't consume any animal product, and cannot directly attack any animals in meele, but all animals are friendly to you too

And you can still kill them indirectly with ranged or magic attacks

SaintWacko

@Sconibulus The games I play are "Good ending - Ascend with the orb! Bad ending - Die."

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Hmm, I'll have to try that out sometime

Sconibulus

well... die isn't really an ending... so much as a game over

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

The skill bonuses are pretty powerful too

Sconibulus

3:39 PM

I mean, yes, technically the end, but it doesn't feel like it counts

SaintWacko

Eh, the high scores go to the same place

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I've heard that

My best character so far is a Clockwork Knight

Unionhawk

Saints Row 3 was obvious in which one was the good ending... "Hmm... kill Killbane but your friends die and everyone thinks you're a domestic terrorist, or save your friends, and let the guy just leave town... hmm..."

SaintWacko

Well, Clockwork Knight + Smith + Tinkerer + Vampire + Dual Wielder + Armor-user + something else

Can't remember which

I had a full set of Imperial Boilerplate Armor, two Overclockworked Power Limbs, and two Clockwork Ravagers

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Mostly, this is what pre-ordering is. Getting a non-publisher pre-order bonus, though, such as extra credit or whatever, is a valid bonus.

SaintWacko

All of it heavily encrusted and enchanted

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

3:43 PM

The one I finished the game with is, uh, from memory: Killer Vegan, Perception, Lay walker, Tinkerer, Ranged Weapons, Pyro magic and something else I think

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I don't pre-order games unless I know I'm getting them 100%

fbueckert

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I love the crafting skills far too much.

OrigamiRobot

Like BL2

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@fbueckert They really aren't very useful

fbueckert

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I like to make the best stuff myself.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

3:44 PM

The only thing I really crafted are arrows. I had a huge surplus of crafting materials stocked in my personal dimension by the end of the game

@fbueckert The problem is by the time you gather up all the ingredients you've probably bought or scavenged a more powerful weapon already

fbueckert

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Sometimes, yeah. I still prefer the knowledge that I can make a better weapon, as opposed to maybe finding a better one.

SaintWacko

> Rock Paper Shotgun uses cookies. For some reason we are now obliged to notify you of this fact. Not that you care.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Well, you'd still have to rely on your luck finding the raw ingredients

SaintWacko

@fbueckert They're really pretty nice

I like that they don't just allow you to make stuff, but also enhance your skills

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Both translation translates Princess Celestia to "Cosmic Princess" which bugs me for some reason

SaintWacko

3:48 PM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone On my best character, I made all my weapons, and most of my armour

On my current character, though, I don't have any crafting skills

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

The Mainland China translation isn't as direct as the Taiwan one.

List of helicopter prison escapes

A helicopter prison escape is made when an inmate is taken from a prison by means of a helicopter. The helicopter's vertical lift is ideal for prison escapes because of the limited space to land and take off in prisons. This list includes prisoner escapes where a helicopter was used in an attempt to free prisoners from a place of internment, a prison or correctional facility. One of the earliest instances of using a helicopter to escape a prison was the escape of Joel David Kaplan on August 19, 1971 from the Santa Martha Acatitla in Mexico. France has had more recorded helicopter esca...

Preventing drowning in Minecraft is as simple as remembering to bring an empty bucket along (scoop up the water, it creates an air bubble for a tick, which is all you need). Or a torch, does the same when you're near a wall.
