@YiJiang'sEvilClone I know. The world map is funky though.

Johann

sob uncontrollably

Nathan is freeeee! He is victorious!!

kalina

@Johann I am not saying this to benefit myself at all, but you know a really good and easy way to get reputation on stackexchange is to suggest good edits to other people's submissions

Johann

@LessPop_MoreFizz wat

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Fluttershy Terraria on Xbox gets a world map? Pfft, back in my days...

Fluttershy

3:01 AM

@agent86 You decided on Terraria yet? >_______>

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yep. It's just like the one you get if you use the one for Terraria.

Johann

@LessPop_MoreFizz something's wrong with chrome

sigh

galacticninja

Anyone know if mods can pre-emptively protect an answer from being auto-turned into a community wiki? I have an answer that I may be editing again a few more times, and I think it's gonna be auto-community wiki'd.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

And what do you need iron for anyway? If you're working with shadow armor already you shouldn't lack iron

user15026

3:04 AM

Okay, having the Master's Drums as my FB alert on my phone? Freaked the crap out of my just noew

kalina

@galacticninja I don't think so but if you can justify the editing then the CW can be reversed

you might not even need to justify it, you might just need to ask nice, but I don't know the rules

bribing with bacon will definitely help the cause though

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I think as long as you're not abusing editing just to bump the post up its fine

kalina

editing bumps the post...

BRB edits every post

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina How did you not know this?

kalina

@LessPop_MoreFizz I did, it just didn't click

so this is why everybody goes crazy when I murder a tag in a few minutes...

3:07 AM

"Ladies, Father’s Day is just around the corner"....its barely April!

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina Making strategically timed improvements to a post is a good way to polish off rep cap.

kalina

@LessPop_MoreFizz I have never abused the system in that manner

In other news, I'm 20 days away from my epic badge

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina You, uh, never noticed?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina It's not abuse if they're quality

user15026

@kalina yep

kalina

3:08 AM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I never ever go to /

always /questions

LessPop_MoreFizz

I know I improved a few 9 score answers to get them to 10 and such the last time I cared about a promo contest.

kalina

@LessPop_MoreFizz zomg advertising your exploits

LessPop_MoreFizz

it was less about 'if I make this answer better, maybe someone will vote!' and more about 'If I make this answer better, more people will see it.'

@kalina The best exploit is still the one that got me a TV from the ME3 promo, which I haven't mentioned yet.

kalina

I never seem to experience any issues with getting to rep cap on the days I put effort into rep capping

galacticninja

@kalina I'm concerned about the precious rep points that might be lost if someone upvotes an answer while it's community wiki'd.

Where do the rep points go if someone upvotes a post while it's auto-community wiki'd, then a mod reverts it back to non-community wiki status?

kalina

3:10 AM

in fact, pretty much every day I rep cap, I overcap significantly

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina Protip: Write good answers to gain massive rep on Arqade!

15

kalina

@galacticninja Think you'll get the reputation back after the next rep calc

Johann

@YiJiang'sEvilClone starred for accuracy

galacticninja

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm gonna be adding info on the answer.

kalina

@LessPop_MoreFizz there has never been a competition for any game I'm interested in since I joined

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

3:11 AM

@kalina I don't think they would. Besides, recalcs don't exist anymore

kalina

the first time there is though, I'll go all RavenDreamer on you and take everything

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina ME3 got me a big screen tee vee

kalina

if I had been here during the ME3 stuff I would have done very well

I had already completed the game on insanity within 20 hours of it being released in America with the good ending

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Seriously, do you have exploits for everything? :P

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina My 'spoits would've beaten you.

kalina

3:13 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz not likely

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn I was a top ranked WoW raider. So, Yes.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina I'm going to assume "insanity" is the difficulty level and not the state of mind you were in when you played the game

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn Exploit early. Exploit often.

kalina

@LessPop_MoreFizz so was I, I didn't exploit though :p~

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Fair enough. tips hat

kalina

3:14 AM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone both

well, both as of the moment I got to the space magic part

in fact, it's for the best I wasn't around

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz STAHP

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn I MUST FIX THE TYPOS

kalina

I'd have systematically made enemies with the entire bridge by going WHAT ZE FSCK at the ending quite publicly

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz ......NO

user15026

NO MORE

user15026

3:15 AM

PLEASE

user15026

AUGH

Johann

AUGH

kalina

@LessPop_MoreFizz besides, my favourite method of ensuring I reach rep cap has always been tag wiki edits

Johann

WHAT IS HAPPENING WHY IS EVERYTHING I TYPE IN CAPS

kalina

I can say that now that I can't get any more reputation from them

oh wait, now I can do tag wiki edits without authorisation

O_O

LessPop_MoreFizz

3:17 AM

@Johann Do you see the button above your shift key? Press it.

Johann

@LessPop_MoreFizz tab?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Johann Yup.

Johann

@LessPop_MoreFizz wow it worked

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina and with that sudden realisation, you have doomed us all

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I just realised that 20k = unstoppable force of nature

user15026

3:19 AM

@kalina This alarms me :P

kalina

just so you all know, you should all get 1k reputation worth of editing done from a mixture of post editing (before 2k rep) and tag wiki edits (before 20k rep)

I'm saying this because I still need to approve 200 more edits before I get a gold badge

but I'm really thinking of all you guys

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina How considerate of you

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone you're welcome

for optimal efficiency you should make sure your edits happen while it is daytime in Europe as well

Johann

@kalina since you seem to have unlimited power can you tag this as needing a good answer. gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/113317/…

pleaaaaaaaaaaase

kalina

that's not how the tagging system works

Unionhawk

3:23 AM

Well dammit. Bioshock isn't working at all on Windows 7.

Johann

@kalina how does it work?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Unionhawk What seems to be the problem? I had trouble with sound

kalina

@Johann as a system of categorisation, the functionality to achieve what you're wanting is "bounties"

user15026

@Unionhawk That sucks

Johann

@kalina ok i meant bounty

....

sorry test post

Unionhawk

3:25 AM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's hanging at loading screens. I think

The issue is highly inconsistent, so it's hard to say

kalina

@Johann This answers your question

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Unionhawk Do the usual update graphics driver, update system, try applying compatible mode, look around to see if the game generates a crash dump, etc.

kalina

you can have as many as you want and they're permanent but you can only have one active at once

Johann

where does it say they are permanent

kalina

@Johann it doesn't use the word 'permanent', but I would expect it is implied by the fact you can have more than one at once and the fact it details you having to toggle them

Johann

3:28 AM

oh come on it isn't exact though

and I want a screenshot

kalina

well I'm not going to buy the game so that I can find out for you

2

Johann

@kalina ummm. its free

just search bloons tower defense 5

kalina

ok let me rephrase, I'm not going to play the game so that I can find out for you

I have "the best FPS of all time" installed and haven't started it up

what makes you think I want to play some random tower defence game instead?

user15026

@kalina very good question

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina But you really should, shouldn't you? :p

Johann

3:31 AM

anyone else

?

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone they lied in the advertising, everything that happens next is going to be a disappointment

besides, the best game of 2013 is obviously tomb raider

and I've already completed that

Unionhawk

@kalina Spoiler alert: Infinite's a pretty good game. Advertising aside.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina Euro Truck Simulator 2013

kalina

@Unionhawk this is what everybody who has played it has told me

seriously though, SimCity for goty

Johann

@FEichinger was going to answer my question first, but then our relationship...*soured*

kalina

3:34 AM

@Johann maybe you should kiss and make up

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina Maybe, if they rewrote the game from scratch by the end if the year

Johann

@kalina I try to stay out of physically impossible things

FEichinger

@Johann That's not how I'd phrase it. I'd say you pissed me off, a lot.

Johann

oh you

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I guess this is my fault for not enclosing my text in <sarcasm>

SimCity was such a disappointment, that I spend longer playing the beta than I did the release

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

3:35 AM

@kalina Seriously, though

user15026

@Johann I might take a crack at it, if I weren't bogged with school, which is more important

Johann

Just try it once and you'll be hooked.

hooked

kalina

@Johann you can say that about a lot of things

like crack

Johann

it is one of the most addictive games i've ever played

user15026

I've tried them before, not really my thing

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

3:36 AM

I saw a shop selling the European building set DLC in physical form

Couldn't contain my laughter

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone what a waste of materials

seriously, the DLC is like 8mb

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

It think it might just be a piece of cardboard with the download code sandwiched in there.

Johann

well...any takers

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

It's designed to be the same size as other game jewel cases

kalina

Irrational took on board the feedback about their box art being crap, and released eight more alternative box art inserts for those who own a physical copy of the game

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

3:41 AM

Yeah, I saw that those are great. Resistance for the PS3 has a really neat alternative cover which is printed on the reverse side of the retail cover

kalina

didn't mass effect 3 do that too?

reversible femshep insert

or were they two separate releases

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

It also removes some of the logos and ESRB ratings which are required by law

kalina

hardly matters, you have to print out the replacement insert yourself

FEichinger

@kalina CE definitely had that, not sure about the standard retail version.

kalina

my copy is represented by a little picture in Origin that says nothing other than "N7" on it

FEichinger

3:47 AM

My copy has ... nothing, because I don't let Origin anywhere near my computer.

kalina

Origin isn't that bad

I bet you have Java installed

far worse than Origin

FEichinger

I'm well aware of Java's problems. But I also know how to avoid them. ;)

kalina

yeah, don't install it

FEichinger

That's the poor man's solution.

kalina

so is avoiding Origin

FEichinger

3:49 AM

Nope. Containing Origin requires cutting it off from everywhere. Which isn't possible due to the nature of the "service".

Java, on the other hand, can be contained fully.

Johann

Not installing java?

kalina

Origin is fine

oh no, Guild Wars 2 patch

OrigamiRobot

I am making a grumpy face at whoever reopened this question

kalina

@OrigamiRobot I am making a grumpy face at you for no reason other than I can

OrigamiRobot

It's ok, I make grumpy faces at you too ;)

Yesssss

Star and close.

Good, good.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

3:58 AM

Ugh, "survey" people cold calling my prepaid mobile number. Idiots.

kalina

In other news, I just logged into GW2 and you're not online

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot Give me a couple thousand rep and I'll close-vote. :P

kalina

@FEichinger I covered the easy way to do this earlier

OrigamiRobot

@FEichinger brb, bountying

Johann

@FEichinger wait... so mods can just give people random rep

user15026

3:59 AM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone you seem to be getting a lovely variety of annoying phone calls

kalina

make 20 suggested edits per day while I'm around and you get 40 reputation from it

user15026

@Johann no

FEichinger

@Johann A) He's not a mod. B) No.

Johann

forgot

kalina

@Johann yes

FEichinger

3:59 AM

@kalina I like ... convincing people, rather than gaming the system, you know? :P

kalina

the moderators give reputation to people they l ike

spugsley

IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT

Johann

AAAAAAAAAh conflicting views

user15026

@kalina oh you

Johann

have to side with kalina
