Q: Difference between Regular and Classic Edition games?

I went over to buy Driver : San Francisco on the x360 and noticed two versions, the regular one for 9.99 and the Classic edition for 11.99 ... Why is the classic version more expensive ?? are there extra features in classic editions ?

xbox-360 driver-san-francisco

@AshleyNunn it was the grumpy cat pics, wasn't it? you're welcome

It's probably unused, except if you try and use it everything will crash and burn.

@FEichinger That's entirely possible.

user15026

9:00 PM

@agent86 giggles I loved the Dalek one :D

@Powerlord Or, even worse. Remains from HL2. O_O

Oh, I know. Grenades!

@badp That makes sense.

@AshleyNunn Oh?

user15026

@SaintWacko Yep. Well, a series of nice things. I am ending up with one of teh SC2 arqade shirts, someone on campus mysteriously paid for my lunch, AND there was a brownie waiting for me at my desk at work when I got there today.

9:04 PM

@badp This is a weapon property. Oh, to make things even MORE confusing, TF2's players also have a table of ammo types.

@AshleyNunn Nice!

Incidentally, this table is why the Shortstop and Pistol use the same ammo pool for the Scout.

So that's why you're so happy, it was a special brownie!

@Powerlord Well the vaccinator uses it at least

user15026

@SaintWacko snorts Indeed ;)

9:05 PM

@badp Uses m_iClip2?

No, ammo types

Oh right.

...I suppose!

@Lazers This question is trivia and has nothing to do with playing games.

I'd have to look, but m_iClip1 is just the size of the ammo clip, I think.

user15026

9:06 PM

But yeah, today makes up for the ridiculousness of terrible that was yesterday.

Might be number of bullets currently loaded. Oh, which isn't used by miniguns and flamethrowers.

@AshleyNunn Good!

Oh yeah, I need to check some other code related to the ammo types later.

VSH is using manual offsets and I wanted to test when I ported that code to FF2 if using the automatic offsets worked.

Just imagine, if airblast had a separate ammo counter.

That would be... not good

But yeah, I can see why HL2 or HL2:DM would need m_iClip2 as one of the bullet weapons has an alt-fire for firing grenades.

user15026

9:09 PM

@OrigamiRobot Agreed. It is only tangentially gaming related.

user43095

@OrigamiRobot Did you make something that lags the server?

Nope.

I haven't even been on today.

user15026

OMG THIS MAKES ME THE MOST EXCITED

@AshleyNunn I can't watch it at work, but I see Matt Smith and I'm already excited.

user15026

9:18 PM

@OrigamiRobot it's the trailer for hte 50th anniversary special

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Funny thing about TF2 mechanics. I just learned that minigun works by mimicking a rapid-fire shotgun.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot yeah, that is pretty much what I did the entire time I was watching it :P

@AshleyNunn awiehaiufiuawe rveuryw3789t wyer

TOO EXCITED TO TYPE

WAAAAAANT

Oh god, I still need to catch up on Doctor Who.

I am ridiculously behind.

It was funny then, it's funny now. A pox on any lily-livered dog what tries to speak otherwise.

keep trying to find time, but the wife wants her BORDERLANDS2 DAMMIT

9:26 PM

@agent86 9/10 wife

@agent86 It only served to further cement my undying love for Souffle Girl.

-1 for choosing BL2 over Doctor Who.

user15026

@agent86 It is pretty awesome. I liked it. They are actually trying to make a storyline again, which I like.

user15026

@ShotgunNinja Amen, my friend.

@OrigamiRobot dat red dress

9:29 PM

Also, Souffle Girl is already my favorite companion.

@ShotgunNinja Instantly.

Followed by Billie Piper, and Amy X Rory.

You never forget your first Companion.

terrariaonline.com/threads/…

@ShotgunNinja No, Rose is worst.

user15026

@ShotgunNinja I like her, she's got spunk. And she's incredibly cute.

user15026

9:31 PM

@OrigamiRobot Your face is worst.

user15026

@ShotgunNinja I love Rose. And Donna. Never really loved Amy.

After that would be the Face of Boe, then the black chick, then Donna.

@Ullallulloo I need this.

@ShotgunNinja HOW DO YOU NOT REMEMBER MARTHA JONES

Donna was infinitely better than Rose.

Yeah, but I started with Eccleston and Rose.

user15026

@ShotgunNinja I love 9 and Rose. They worked SO well

9:33 PM

You can't take that away from me.

user15026

I don't like Ten as much. Never will.

Finally! Someone who doesn't much care for Tennant!

@ShotgunNinja So did I, but that doesn't mean Rose was good at all.

well, hopefully now that I've shown her this trailer, she'll want to watch the episode

Wtf

9:34 PM

I think it's just been a while and her who-lust has faded

Tennant is the best

sherlock coming back is going to be freaking awesome too

I love Tennant as an actor, but I still think Matt Smith is the most traditional Doctor type. Tennant was a kid with a time machine.

I don't really get excited for TV except those two shows

Sherlock is coming back?

9:35 PM

@agent86 So much this. I can't wait

@Sconibulus yeah, later this year.

@Sconibulus Yeah, they started filming the new season last month.

#9 was my favorite

And Eccleston was a bruiser, which never sat too well with me.

@Sconibulus Haha, yeah, he was never really interesting to me

@OrigamiRobot You're still wrong.

Q: What are the locations of the messages, the cyphers, and their translations?

I only managed to find 3 coded messages (but only 2 cyphers, so I didn't translate one), are there more? What are the locations of the messages, and their respective cyphers? What are the translations of those messages? What do they mean? Do they have some impact in-game or are they just lore?

bioshock-infinite

@AshleyNunn another season of just 3 eps though :(

I associated the most with 10, being rash and immature myself, but I still think of the collective "Doctor" as someone who is a bit more reserved, if still silly. Matt Smith takes that one for me.

9:36 PM

I liked him, he was good at "Oh fuck I just killed everyone I ever knew, but I'ma still put a happy face on things!"

user15026

@agent86 but stiiiiiiiiiill.

@FEichinger No, I checked. I am objectively right.

@AshleyNunn yeahhhhh, I knowwwwww

user15026

Sherlock is Sherlock is <3

user15026

@ShotgunNinja Yeah, it was the rash immaturity of Ten, and his dramalama-ness. that I could never get. Eleven is all like BAM I AM THE DOCTOR BITCHES, without being all like OH POOR ME THE FATE OF EVERYTHING

9:37 PM

@Ullallulloo what. That better be PC version

@AshleyNunn 10 only got like that towards the end. He was a super badass in Family of Blood.

time for the metal doctor who theme again

@AshleyNunn And Nine was "Well, we're doing this because we don't know if it'll pan out financially.... Who do we want to play the Doctor? Uhhh, who's available?"

@OrigamiRobot This. Doesn't change the fact that it's 9 > 10 > 11.

user15026

@ShotgunNinja I liked Nine.

9:38 PM

9>11>10

@FEichinger YOU'RE BAD AT MATH AND DOCTOR WHO

@AshleyNunn Given his short contract, he did very well in cementing it as a stronger, more serious Doctor. But it set up the pins for Tennant to smash through with his drama, and for Smith to clean up.

@OrigamiRobot YOUR FACE IS BAD AT MATH AND DOCTOR WHO!

user15026

@FEichinger If I mentally have my symbols right, yes.

Are we having this argument again?

9:39 PM

@Wipqozn When aren't we?

Your math is bad at your face and Doctor Who?

In 9's defense, Rose was probably dragging him down.

user15026

@ShotgunNinja This is true. I didn't like the smashing though. But the clean up is beautiful

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Your face is bad

@AshleyNunn The Alligator eats the awesomer one

9:40 PM

@OrigamiRobot Rose drags everyone down. She's terrible.

user15026

@Wipqozn Forever.

@Wipqozn Thank you.

CANT HEAR THIS ARGUMENT OVER METAL GUITAR DOCTOR WHO THEME SORRY

YOU WILL HAVE TO SPEAK LOUDER

11 is awful because Moffat. Period.

user15026

@Sconibulus Right. Okay. I think I can remember that. (I am 25, and I still have to google them every time)

user15026

9:41 PM

@FEichinger Oh, bitch, you didn't. flail

@FEichinger The only one better than 11 is 4.

user15026

Moffat is my hero.

@AshleyNunn Oh, bitch, I did!

That's how I was taught in elementary school, and it's still how I remember it

Don't mind me, just setting up the mud pit...

user15026

9:41 PM

@FEichinger That's it, we're done.

@AshleyNunn Fine!

user15026

@FEichinger FINE

I get @AshleyNunn all to myself!

Anybody got a hose? This watering can isn't working terribly well.

@AshleyNunn My integrity is worth more to me anyways!

user15026

9:42 PM

also, @agent86, the metal doctor who is awesome and yay

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Wait...what?

user15026

@FEichinger Psh, integrity. I have cookies.

@AshleyNunn lol

@AshleyNunn Psh, cookies. I have jelly babies.

@AshleyNunn I haz cookies, too.

9:43 PM

Screw all y'all, I got brownies. And pecan pie.

user15026

@ShotgunNinja Hard to argue with someone who has jelly babies.

user15026

@Yawus You win.

Nah, but seriously, again, Moffat sucks at long arcs and running the show on his own. He is great for oneshots. And that's it.

The first season of 11 makes next to no sense, just because Moffat wanted to push his gorram reboot of the reboot.

@FEichinger Season 5 was great. Season 6, not so much.

And the rest of 11, as good as it may be - hell, I give you all credit on even surviving that long, without jumping ship - I did not even watch because of this.

Mind you, I never liked 10's ending. Not because he left, but because his whole crying crap made no sense at all, after he survived. He faced definite death with the four knocks. Instead, he gets a regen. And still he cries.

user15026

9:47 PM

@FEichinger He was a mess by the end

@FEichinger Do you not recall what he said to the old dude? Whose name escapes me at the moment.

How even regeneration feels like dying.

10's ending was worse than the The Wedding of River Song

The rest of that arc was awesome, but the end was so whiny.

Really? I loved 10's ending.

I'm gonna recuse myself before I get spoilered.

9:48 PM

Wait, Terraria update?

:O

@Wipqozn I'm definitely not getting MH3U now.

user15026

@agent86 So I found out that guy that does the metal Doctor Who does SO MUCH MORE stuff and he released it for free and now I downloaded ALL THE THINGS and it is your fault and you need to feel appropriately bad.

@Wipqozn While it may feel like it, he does get to live on, which in that situation should still be reason for joy, rather than tears.

user15026

@FEichinger but it is a change, and change is hard.

@FEichinger Just because there is a reason to be happy in a situation doesn't mean there isn't also a lot of reason to be sad.

IT's like if you lost an arm. Yeah, you still get to live, but you're still out an arm.

@OrigamiRobot Your loss.

9:53 PM

@Wipqozn No, your loss!

Everyone should go help close and/or delete these so we can kill the tag

Q: Wizardry for the Apple 2 - Dungeons of Despair beta released at Boston Applefest in 1981 - is there anyone in the world with this?

The first ever Wizardry was called The Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord. Prior to this, Robert Woodhead and Andrew Greenberg released a beta version containing 3 levels called the Dungeons of Despair at the Boston Applefest. Does anyone have or know of someone who might have a copy of this ver...

How was this never closed?

I blame @agent86.

Why do people refuse to read the FAQ?

@Yawus Internet.

Might as well call it the FABNPAFAQ (Frequently-Asked-But-Nobody-Pays-Any-F***ing-Attention Questions).

...what?

10:04 PM

22 hours ago, by FEichinger

What is it with people not being able to read?

@Wipqozn Probably should've cleared that up before posting.

user15026

@Yawus Because internet. No one reads FAQ's anymore.

user15026

Except me, apparently :P

user15026

(I also read game manuals, and the manuals that come with whatever appliances and such that I buy.)

I read them too. I'm just that handsome. tortoise shades

10:05 PM

I refuse to believe this on the grounds that there's a site that thrives solely through people reading FAQs.

Not manuals though. Manuals are for sissies.

@Wipqozn My friend Manuel would like to have a word with you.

user15026

@Wipqozn Well, fine. Be that way.

10:07 PM

@AshleyNunn I was more trying to play off his name as a pun, but I guess that's true too.

user15026

When your toaster explodes, don't come crying to me.

@AshleyNunn You aren't speshul! :< You are one of many. Definitely.

user15026

@FEichinger I WANT TO BE SPECIAL WHY CAN'T YOU LET ME JUST HAVE THIS

@AshleyNunn You can't operate your toaster without reading the manual? You're really bad with technology.

@AshleyNunn I doubt the manual will be of much use after the toaster exploded.

10:07 PM

@FEichinger I'm not sure if that's supposed to be encouraging or depressing.

@AshleyNunn BECAUSE YOU WERE MEAN TO ME!

@AshleyNunn Wait, you blew up a toaster?

What were you trying to make, toasted dynamite?

@Yawus It was actually meant as a "Don't lose faith!", but she just wants to hate me again. :(

user15026

@ShotgunNinja Once. And it wasn't so much blew up as....caused the cord to overheat and melt.

user15026

@FEichinger You have a very strange definition of nice

@ShotgunNinja Third time someone posted that.

Not sure if joke argument or divorce proceedings.

@AshleyNunn :(

@Yawus I'm not sure either. But I can't stooooooop!

@FEichinger Was just verifying, for the guy in C# who reposted it.

user15026

10:12 PM

@ShotgunNinja Oh, that's pretty neat :) I didn't play any of the games (My gaming in that time period was like...Nintendo forever) but I love when groups do stuff like this. Interesting to see if anything gets done with it.

@ShotgunNinja Yes it's a thing. It really is.

Q: If you don't use your permanent unlock, will you have two if you prestige again?

Pretty much just what the title says. When you prestige you get a permanent unlock. If you do it again, without using that first one, will you then have two? With this thread of logic, can you essentially save them up? It would be pretty useless to save them, except I play on an account wit...

call-of-duty-black-ops-2

user15026

@Yawus Well, I am not married, so maybe that helps clear that up ;)

@Lazers Ah, Call of Duty ... Turning "prestige" into a verb.

@AshleyNunn Cue some random person trying to hit you up for a date.

user15026

10:14 PM

@Yawus giggles Hey, if they pay, I can be pursuaded.

I always hear that from my less-fortunate friends who play it often, and I like to think of it as "Press Teej", as if it were an action done to some object referred to as a "Teej".

Why don't they just say "achieve prestige" or something to that effect? Why do people like redefining words?

@AshleyNunn Your fingers to brain filter is off again.

Coilette: Come on! You never went on a date with a guy just 'cause you were hungry?

Leela: Well I, uh, I thought I might like him on a full stomach.

user15026

@Yawus Because language is naturally evolving, and people like to mess with it.

10:15 PM

@FEichinger Wouldn't it be brain-to-fingers filter?

@AshleyNunn Nice try.

I couldn't find a slip, so we'll need to settle for that.

Apr 1 at 1:31, by Ashley Nunn

I need a fingers to brain filter

user15026

@Wipqozn giggles Yeah, totally me :P

user15026

@Yawus Ideally, yeah, but when I made the original statement, I reversed them, when I needed the filter most.

10:17 PM

There's just something hilarious about being tail-whipped by a Rathalos in the middle of an upswing and being sent twenty feet in air to land straight on your face.

Sure, I took a lot of damage, but I'm laughing so hard...

user15026

@Yawus That does sound rather awesome

Monster Hunter = World of Awesome.

@OrigamiRobot I mean, at one point, you fight a monster so big that YOU CAN MINE ORE OFF ITS BACK. WHILE YOU'RE FIGHTING IT. ON A GIANT SHIP WITH CANNONS.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Accept no substitutes.

@AshleyNunn Solution: Buy a WiiU, play online with us.

Except maybe Monster Hunter Tri.

@jeffreylin_ The appropriate term in that case is "HOLY TREEHOUSE BATMAN!"

user15026

The only way I might possibly get it is on the 3DS

@AshleyNunn Solution: have more money.

@Wipqozn HOW

Well, you were willing to go on dates for guys who would pay...

I'm not suggesting anything...

@Yawus I believe that is a textbook definition of a "suggestion".

user15026

Otherwise I feel bad

10:28 PM

@Yawus Okay, I'm maybe 10-20 hours into Tri.

@Yawus That is terrible. In compensation I could use my usual approach and offer to revenge ban her.

Would it be worth it to get 3 Ultimate?

@FEichinger They're going to implement female avatars?

@ShotgunNinja It's a horse being petted. My head added a sponge to the picture for some reason, making it a horse being cleaned.

10:29 PM

Well. I know one of my friends is going to be excited.

@badp Sponges for cleaning your horse?

@Wipqozn Obvy!

@ShotgunNinja What would you use, cats?

@James Wait, what were we talking about?

@FEichinger you can place delivery orders online these days...

@MBraedley That would be awkward. Well ... awkwarder.

@AshleyNunn !!! :(

@FEichinger Yeah I wonder what the cat is going to be fed to as well...

user15026

@MBraedley See? Creative problem solving. I like it.

Hmm... I should probably head home... Lab session ended half an hour ago and the buses stop at 7...

10:39 PM

Cat food

Obviously

I mean, cats eat cat food almost by definition

That awkward moment when you realize you spent the entire lab session on Gaming.SE chat instead paying attention to the TA discuss computer architecture

Luckily I've recently passed a computer architecture exam :P

I have this weird tendency to recall things that I don't remember studying on the exam.

I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I got an A on the last exam while spending lab sessions doing either Discrete Math or just napping.

</jest> If you aren't aware, one of the many ways cats have to make you know they're hungry is to knead you. Basically it's the same motion they use to stimulate lactation in their mothers. It involves claws digging increasing amounts into your skin. Regular clothes are insufficient armour to protect your skin from this. <jest>

@Yawus busses stop at 7? What kind of crappy public transportation system shuts down at 7?

10:43 PM

@MBraedley The kind of public transporation that's actually not public but a private company hired out by the university.

user15026

@Yawus eeergh, that's early for buses to stop :(

Speaking of which. WTB comfy jeans except made of metal.

And it's not so much that the buses stop at 7 as it becomes increasingly difficult to catch one.

user15026

@Yawus This is me in a lot of my classes (which are now done for the term! I just have to wirte a couple more papers and hten I am free for a couple weeks!)

Ostensibly, they don't stop until 9 or 10, but I've waited for hours if I stay past 7.

10:43 PM

@MBraedley Your average public transportation system does.

Actually here they're retarded enough to have extended hours late in saturday evenings - one way only

Studying at the library is apparently for people with more expensive parking permits or people who live on campus.

@badp not here. Busses run past midnight in many major Canadian an American cities

so if you want to get to the city for an evening, that's fine, but for the return trip you'll have to hitch a ride home.

@MBraedley Well, that makes sense for actual public transportation, but this is a university-contracted company.

Making the whole point of catching a bus in the first place completely moot.

@MBraedley "Major" ain't average

Buses work practically 24/7 in Milan but Milan isn't average

10:46 PM

@badp by major I'm referring to cities that are 200000+, which isn't actually that big

200,000 people is 199,999 more people than I need in a 20 mile radius of myself.

@MBraedley So basically the top 15 cities in Italy #

user15026

@MBraedley Around me it is :P

(I was wrong, Bergamo is only 37th)

Interesting thing about population density: Did you know that if the entire world's population fit into the population density of New York City, we could all live within the state of Texas?

10:49 PM

That's still not average.

Goddammit. There we go. Thank god for editing.

@AshleyNunn Metro Halifax is 300000, and I don't consider that big

@Yawus Yeh, thanks, no. I'd prefer not to.

@MBraedley Your city scale is set all the way, beyond 11, to 'Murikah

Please readjust your receiver

Halifax was in Canada, I thought...

10:51 PM

@Yawus it is. That's where I'm from

@Yawus The real question is, would the solar system suffice if we lived at Canada's population density?

@MBraedley Kitchener is 200000 ish, and Waterloo is 100000 ish, and they are the biggest cities for....a while.

@badp Depending on success of terraforming and who-the-f**k-would-want-to-live-on-Venus-anyways, it just might.

@Yawus Could just turn Venus into Earth's Next Prison Colony.

@FEichinger Nah, the solar system has enough Australians.

10:54 PM

@AshleyNunn Halifax might not feel big to me because the density is so low.

I'd mention Georgians too, but apparently Georgia being a penal colony is actually a misconception.

@MBraedley K-W is kinda all spread outish, so it feels tiny to me

user15026

and I grew up in a town of maybe 200 people, two churches, and a cattle farm.

@MBraedley The entire Southwest is like that. There's huge cities but they're all like 50-70 miles across.

I know Houston has at least 3 area codes and god-only-knows-how-many zip codes.

Okay, I seriously need to head back home or I'm sleeping under a rock tonight. Either that or in the Engineering department. I think I'd prefer the rock...

@Yawus the number of area codes is more a factor of population, not geographic area

@MBraedley Well, zip codes then.

Clearly we should start our terraforming efforts in Canada.

or - better yet! Texas.

If we can't fix Texas how will we fix Venus?

@badp What's funny is that ~25m of that 34m exists in like 5 tiny dots near the southern edge.
