Q: What core should every starting Town Center have?

For each faction, a town center allows placement of building/resource tiles in a two block radius, making for a 5x5 square of influence (with the town center in the middle). This leaves a total of 24 squares left to place improvements on, but that number quickly dwindles as you create more advanc...

Q: Summoner splash art borders - dropping leagues?

At the beginning of the new season, I was placed into the Gold league, division V. Currently I am at Silver league, division I due to inactivity (which is currently the only way to drop a league). My question is this: When the season ends, which summoner splash border shall I receive upon loadin...

Q: What Does Forged Alliance Have Less?

Time ago I played the original Supreme Commander game (at my friend's home) and it was cool, then other games passed by and now I felt nostalgic about it, so I came back and see if it could be a good idea to buy it, finding out that an "expansion" is out: Forged Alliance. Forged Alliance is a st...

@AlexM. just killed kraid again (super metroid)

@GrumpyLazers This question doesn't seem to make sense

@PrivatePansy Shopping rec?

@BenBrocka never played any metroid games :(

5:18 PM

You will never find a better "shoot every tile of every room with every weapon" simulator than Super Metroid

googled the guy

reminds me of killer croc from batman

@BenBrocka Breakout

@AlexM. what's this for?

@OrigamiRobot nah, in Breakout it's apparent what tiles you should hit

5:20 PM

@MBraedley Arkham Asylum was released on the PC, X360 and PS3 IIRC

might be mac too

@BenBrocka Well you never said anything about that being in the criteria

@BenBrocka I'll be sure to give it a try when I get the chance

I've been a PC gamer mostly

only had a PSP and a classic Xbox

oh and a cheap and counterfeit SNES that used to run counterfeit games

5:35 PM

So... about ready to pick up a Wii U. Should I get the 8G basic or 32G deluxe?

depends on the money you have I guess

if I had the money I'd get the better model

Well, other than the memory, are there any differences?

that's a better question :D

let me see

community.futureshop.ca/t5/Tech-Blog/…

here you go, apparently the deluxe also has some extra accessories

I'd definitely get it for $50 extra only

Yeah, looks like it.

I'm not the only pony on this chat it seems :D

cool!

5:41 PM

@RedRiderX @RonanForman Dunno if you guys are around but I do not think we have enough people to play with today.

@James UNACCEPTABLE!

@RonanForman lol

@RonanForman You Red Me Drakkett.. I think that is all there is.. Its a holiday weekend here I was unaware of it.

Oh America and your crazy holidays...

I need to play Dark Souls again...

I don't remember where exactly I am.

I think I finished Blighttown, but I'm not sure.

I think I have the Gaping Dragon next...

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Yawus ... This is among the dumbest statements I have ever seen committed to a jpg. And I am including dumb 9/11 truthers in that category.

Oh yeah, that guy's kind of a douche.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, whether or not aliens exist, "phonetically" not being spelled phonetically is at least somewhat ironic.

@Fluttershy I think I can jump on and help you out if you need it.

@Yawus What platform do you play it on?

@Fluttershy PS3.

7:58 PM

@Yawus Ah. I'm on 360. =(

:<

Otherwise, I'd totally welcome the help.

@Yawus I don't know what to do about my armor. I'm just using the Pyromancer starter armor, and I've reinforced it to +2. =\

I have a dream that I will one day live in a world where I can play games with anyone else where multiplayer(ing) will depend not on the platform I choose but the strength of my Internet connection.

@Fluttershy what kind of imagination can output such a thing

ew

@Fluttershy You're playing Pyromancer then... Lemme think about that.

8:03 PM

@Yawus Well, more of a pyro-knight.

Melee mostly, but I have the Pyromancer's Flame.

Work on Endurance and Strength then.

Don't put too many points into Intelligence unless you expect to be using a lot of sorceries.

Your Pyromancy damage doesn't scale off a stat.

But rather how much your Pyromancy Flame is upgraded.

As for armors....

@Yawus That's what I've been doing. End, Vit, Str, and some Dex. Hoping to wield my BKS soon-ish.

Not sure what to get for armors.

I run a mix of the Hollow Thief and Shadow set myself.

But that's more of a Dex-based build.

I was thinking of getting the Elite Knight set.

@Yawus This is the best thing about Pyromancers.

8:13 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz That and the low starting level. =P It's nice starting out at SL1.

Q: Which ship in Eve is the most suited for supporting a Dust 514 Merc

I read from here that the only thing that The only thing that affects the amount of damage done right now is the number of turrets used to perform the strike. The damage modifier, the meta/tech level of the turret, and even the type (blasters vs. railgun f.ex.) do not affect the amount...

Can't really say I like "Which is the best" questions

For PvP type games, I'm tempted to put a horribly wrong answer just to make my time of it easier.

Even though I know it's a horrible thing to do.

@OrigamiRobot I still use trains. :(

@RedRiderX Needs more Levar Burton

Soccer Manager 2014 is going to be released on Linux.

Ok, I'm not American but I think I recognize Carl Sagan, Bill Nye and Mr. Rogers. Can someone tell me who the guy with the afro is?

@RedRiderX Bob Ross

@Ullallulloo Oh, I see.

Yeah, I couldn't think of the name, but I remember watching a few of those shows.

8:45 PM

Robert Norman "Bob" Ross (October 29, 1942 – July 4, 1995) was an American painter, art instructor, and television host. He is best known as the creator and host of The Joy of Painting, a television program that has appeared for more than a decade on PBS in the United States and in Europe. Early life Bob Ross was raised in Orlando, Florida. Ross had a half brother Jim, whom he mentioned in passing on his show. Ross enlisted in the United States Air Force at age 18. The Air Force transferred him to Eielson Air Force Base (in Alaska), where he first saw the snow and mountains that later...

Q: Can you change the difficulty mid-game?

There are a couple of skill points throughout the game which are for completing a certain challenge on Exterminator difficulty.

Q: Could Unity 2D speed up 3D games on Ubuntu 13.04?

I know that Ubuntu 12.04 allows for specifying Unity 2D or 3D at login. Using Unity 2D when playing 3D games is supposed to make things work faster. Does this also apply to Ubuntu 13.04? If so, how can I get the Unity 2D desktop on my Raring Ringtail? I am using an AMD 6670 graphics card with...

@kalina thanks, but I was just looking for anything with a high longevity rate, I mean anything I would not get bored of after a couple of months...

@mission well that's not a riddle then, that's a request for a recommendation

@BenBrocka Is that Tiny Tina? If so, that's awesome! God, I think you guys are starting to rub off on me.

@MBraedley yeah the echocasts account retweeted it

@mission if you can get into it, EVE Online

Chemical Spill Simulator.

This is a real game.

@mission failing that, Rift is going free to play next month

I can't wait to see it on Steam, along with hundreds of pieces of exciting DLC like the Bleach Pack or Bio-Waste Expansion Set.

That's the weather where I am ATM

Normally you can (approximately) see where I live from that vantage point.

@Kalina Rift going F2P would be more interesting if Rift wasn't totally boring and derivative and boring.

@LessPop_MoreFizz hush you

LessPop_MoreFizz

Rift was lame. No two ways about it.

9:15 PM

@kalina What happened to sleep?

@OrigamiRobot I woke up again

:(

and I couldn't go back to sleep due to needing water

Did you get some?

no I was playing Rez for several hours

9:18 PM

Heya, @OrigamiRobot

@kalina You only went to sleep a couple hours ago

@OrigamiRobot I was playing before that

LessPop_MoreFizz

'Playing Rez' is the best new euphemism. Because it's not actually a euphemism.

I'm not going to play more tonight

Right, did you get some water?

9:19 PM

oh, water

well yeah, obviously

@LessPop_MoreFizz I would so get that for a let's play but it appears the company that makes it charges typical new game price. I'd only spend $5-$10 on a total joke of a game

otherwise I'd still be in bed

LessPop_MoreFizz

@benbrocka it's from the farm equipment simulator people.

yeah, was excited until I saw that

9:20 PM

@kalina So now you have solved the problem with going back to sleep.

but now I'm awake again

I mean, it will probably be deep...or whatever. But I was hoping it was like Surgeon Simulator

@kalina Eat cake.

Might make a fun wii game

I don't want cake

@OrigamiRobot er, k

it's not unusual to not want cake just after waking up while dehydrated

@BenBrocka Trauma Center is already a Wii game.

@kalina I always want cake.

@OrigamiRobot I meant chemical spill, not surgeon simulator

Q: How does double XP work?

Some weekends, Battlefield 3 has "double XP". I would expect it to either double your base-XP or your total XP, but that appears to not be the case. For instance, in the last game I played, I got 4005 base XP, and 8000-some total XP. My "double XP bonus" was 900. How is the double XP bonus ca...

Google translate, you have failed me. You don't translate into Scottish Gaelic.

Hmmm... Should I give Inigo Galeforce or Luck +4?

For a place that has the largest population of Gaelic speakers outside of the British Isles, it's odd that the only Gaelic word on the tourist website for Cape Breton is Ceilidh.

Well, it is the tourist website.

Most tourists probably wouldn't be speaking Gaelic.

Yes, but there is a 2 word phrase that's pretty much synonymous with cheers that I know how to pronounce, but have no idea how to spell. Because, you know, Gaelic is weird like that.

Mind you, in most of mainland Nova Scotia (and Newfoundland, PEI, and New Brunswick) sociable is used instead.

Q: efficient ways to get fans

I was wondering if anyone knows of ways to get fans easily or at least what I have to do to increase the amount of fans that I have at the moment? I know that doing things with a publisher helps but I would prefer not to take publishing deals if that can be avoided.

For fucks sake, I've been at this for half an hour now!

Hmmm, if I buy a SSD, how can I transfer my OS/programs onto it without having to reinstall everything?

May 22 at 13:39, by kalina

@OrigamiRobot I demand you play Rez with me

@OrigamiRobot the next line puts it into its real context

@PrivatePansy Yes, if you clone your existing HDD to the SSD, you should be fine (mostly).

11:48 PM

after playing the game, there is no way you're going to be anywhere near me when I play it

This is The Bridge. There is no context.

@kalina Well no, there's an ocean between us.

You may have to do a repair install (which has mostly gone away for Win7) and/or install a driver for the SSD

Hrump, this OEM case only has two hard drive bays, both filled. There's plenty of room in the case though. I wonder if it's a good idea to just duct tape the SSD to the case

@PrivatePansy Good non-OEM cases are less than $100

I don't think this case is all that bad. It's just a little short on hard disk bays, for whatever reason
