THERE IS NO MOTHERFUCKING HORN!? AFTER ALL THAT
omg Skyrim
 
@spugsley Have you not played before?
 
@StrixVaria I played about 200 hours but most of that was stealing shit from everyone :3
now I'm for real playing
 
@spugsley This is the right way to play Skyrim.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz yes, yes it is :3
 
The main quest is meh.
 
3:02 AM
@StrixVaria so I've heard. I want to finish it before I get the DLC though
idk why
just seems right
 
Actually, almost all the quests are meh, except the Theives' Guild/Dark Brotherhood, which are eh, and the civil war, which is atrocious.
(eh is slightly better than meh)
 
@StrixVaria I was so pissed at the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild stuff. No comparison to Oblivion
 
@spugsley Oblivion questlines were pretty good.
 
Oblivion even with it's many bugs, is probably my favorite game of all time. I clocked about 450 hours on that when I was all done
Started with OLDblivion because my shitty comp at the time couldn't run it :p
 
3:04 AM
@spugsley The leveling system and scaling in that game were so broken I couldn't find an enjoyable balance.
 
@StrixVaria understandable
 
The enemies either got strong so fast I couldn't kill anything, or I specifically didn't use major skills and everything was trivial.
Shivering Isles was really great, though.
 
@StrixVaria There's an excellent mod called Obscuro's Oblivion Overhaul which actually made me enjoy the game.
 
@Brant I may have to look into this.
The only thing I want from TES6 is non-scaling enemies.
 
In a nutshell: Some dude went through and replaced all the dynamic level-dependent monster spawns with actual fixed spawns. If you wander into the mountains at level 1 you will get wtfpwned by a frost troll.
@StrixVaria So yeah, OOo it is, then.
 
3:07 AM
@Brant Yes. This is exactly what I want.
 
That was my problem with oblivion... I mostly played a stealthy thief, but the second anything actually noticed me, I was pretty screwed.
 
@TrentHawkins Stealth in Morrowind would like a word with you.

@TrentHawkins 100% Chameleon, Break Game, Problem Solved.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I prefer potion stacking.
If I'm going to do something gamebreaking in Morrowind.
 
3:09 AM
@StrixVaria Is there anything not gamebreaking that's worth doing in Morrowind? :P
 
Make 10 potions of int, drink them, repeat a few times, then make potions of +5000 strength and endurance and healing for 10000 seconds.
That stack with themselves.
 
I should rephrase my earlier statement: If you wander into the mountains at level 1 you will get wtfpwned by a frost troll, and you will like it.

@StrixVaria Is there anything not gamebreaking that's worth doing in Morrowind? :P
 
Although my memories of Oblivion are pretty fuzzy, I don't remember doing much more than the thieves guild quests, and going around the main city being a dick and punching random citizens and running from the guards.
 
It looks like I had Oblivion installed on here but removed it.
@Brant Bookmarked.
 
3:13 AM
hjdbfjasbfdkjasndkjasndkjasndjkasndkjadnkasjdn fuck this stupid piece of software so much
 
Each person give me one pizza topping. The next three after this line will be on my pizza. I will provide pictures.
 
@Brant Hamburger
 
One topping per person.
 
user20683
Mushrooms
 
3:16 AM
@Brant Bacon
 
Pineapple
 
coffee time :3
 
BACON PINEAPPLE PIZZA SOUNDS SO GOOD
Mushrooms can fuck off, though.
 
@StrixVaria yeah fuck off mushrooms
 
I like mushrooms. :(
 
3:17 AM
@StrixVaria Heh! Hamburger!
 
Anyway: One extra-large hamburger/mushroom/bacon pizza coming up
If it tastes bad, I'm blaming all of you. If it tastes great, I'm taking the credit.
 
@Brant it has bacon, that will make up for any shortcomings the rest of the pizza may have.
 
4 mins ago, by MBraedley
@StrixVaria Heh! Hamburger!
 
@MBraedley hamburger < bacon
 
3:22 AM
I just want Dishonored to go on sale.
I don't know how that hasn't happened yet.
 
@TrentHawkins Not disagreeing, but hamburger is second only to bacon when it comes to pizza
 
I am not understanding how "hamburger" is a topping.
Do you put entire hamburgers on the pizza?
 
@MBraedley I'd agree, but I'm more partial to spicy sausages. ... ok, spicy ANYTHING.
 
Is this Epic Meal Time?
 
Man, I should have gotten tickets to the Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox 20 concert in Halifax.
 
user20683
3:24 AM
@StrixVaria ground beef
 
user20683
@StrixVaria
 
user20683
 
@WorldEngineer Who says "hamburger" to just mean ground beef?
 
@TrentHawkins Okay, I forgot about sausage. I would put them in a tie for second then.
@StrixVaria I do!
 
A hamburger is a specific thing you can do with ground beef.
That's like calling all rice "stir fry".
 
3:27 AM
@StrixVaria while I don't disagee, "Ground beef" just sounds less appetizing. hence "Hamburger Helper" rather than "Ground Beef Helper"
 
Hamburger Helper is disgusting.
 
God, I love the (short) horn solo in that song.
 
I never realized how much shorter the video was from the album version.

Q: What's the name of this shoot and jump game with a boy in red

4badappI am searching for a game That was like Metal Slug kind of game, I think that the boy come from a laboratory, he wear a red combinaison and could shoot with his hand (i think) some kind of bizar animale...

 
@Ktash Man, how many girls did I dance with to this?
 
Mmm, pizza.
 
@Brant Pics.
 
I took some, but it appears that my iPhoto library decided in this exact moment to completely corrupt itself.
 
Did my neighbour learn her lesson? Her music was audible with my door open, but not so much with it closed. This makes me somewhat happy, as she's played loud music after 10PM before.
She's new to the building, BTW.
 
3:51 AM
Yesssssss.
 
@Brant That looks tasty
 
 
@TrentHawkins Actually, "Hamburger Helper" dropped the "Hamburger" from it's name just this week.
Henceforth, it is just "Helper".
 
Really?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's still disgusting.
 
3:53 AM
@StrixVaria Well, Yes.
 
@Bridge More 90's music!

And this is why we require screenshots.
 
@fbueckert And he edited in a screenshot... but... not sure if it's of the game he's asking about from the way he's written the question. I'm inclined to think it isn't.
 
user20683
@fbueckert I actually know what game that is
 
@WorldEngineer This one, I won't argue if you answer.

4:19 AM
The Rosenhan experiment was a famous experiment done in order to determine the validity of psychiatric diagnosis, conducted by psychologist David Rosenhan and published by the journal Science in 1973 under the title "On being sane in insane places". The study is considered an important and influential criticism of psychiatric diagnosis. Rosenhan's study was done in two parts. The first part involved the use of healthy associates or "pseudopatients" (three women and five men) who briefly simulated auditory hallucinations in an attempt to gain admission to 12 different psychiatric hospita...

Q: where are the steam summer sale 2013 collections?

DiegoDDOn the past Steam summer and winter sales, they have collections of games ( packages ) with big discounts. For example Eidos Collection, TellTale, Cyan, etc. But this time around, they are not shown in the main page, and I can't find them elsewhere!. Where are they? Or have I just overseen them?...

 
And maybe 3 more that deserve recognition.
 
@lazers no no no no no no no
@mbraedley I think it's a pretty good list, TBQH, keeping in mind pitchforks general critical sensibility. Also, it gets points for the milk dude from the blur video animated gif header.
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz off-topic on grounds of recommendation based on specific criteria

@LessPop_MoreFizz But I found myself clicking more videos from the bottom 30 than the top 20.

@LessPop_MoreFizz New Night Vale tomorrow?
 
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
@Fluttershy Monday.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh right. I thought today was Sunday. x_x
 
Well, technically it is now.
 
5:07 AM
Also true.
 
Speaking of which, I ought to get some sleep.
 
But I meant tomorrow as in "when the sun comes up." =P
 
Agreed. It has been Sunday in a good part of NA (and therefore the world) for more than an hour.
 
8 minutes here. =P
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I haven't quite finished the last rum and coke of the night, but when I do, I too will be headed to bed.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Also, while "Buddy Holly" might be one of Weezer's better video's from the '90s, they had much better songs at the time.
 
5:16 AM
It's a list of videos, not if songs. Pfork has a separate list of best songs of the 90s. I suspect you will be revolted by it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Still, there are many videos that I enjoyed that are not included in this list.
 
Gah! Netflix requires Silverlight on PC, I always forget. I'm out!
 
@Ktash Although they are apparently moving to HTML5
 
user20683
about bloody time
 
Glad to hear, but they still are using silverlight tonight, and that is unacceptable. That is not flash, there is no reason I need to have that installed on my machine
 
5:31 AM
@WorldEngineer ...As soon as the DRM modules get standardized.
 
@MBraedley There's been a bit of uproar and debate about that. So we will see lol

@MBraedley grrrrrr
 
Why is an iTunes update 70MB?
 
user20683
@MBraedley because iTunes is an enormously bloated piece of software these days?

5:36 AM
@PrivatePansy O_o
 
Oh, and it wants me to restart my computer. How quaint
 
iTunes require restarting is the dumbest thing ever
I hate it
 
user20683
iTunes in general is the source of a great deal of hate for me
 
user20683
mostly because I get drafted into sorting out any issue my mom has with it
 
user20683
which while not many, are usually stupid things on the application's part

Q: What is a well balanced party setup for Wizardry 8?

NoneOfYourBusinessIt is a while since I played Wizardry 8 and I actually forgot a lot about the game. So while trying to do a good party, I had a lot of problems at the start, especially with ranged enemies. How do you set up your party so it is well balanced against each close combat and ranged enemies?

 
There's a game called "You need a budget" in the flash sale. I think Steam is trying to tell me something...
Scratch that, it's just accounting software, it isn't even a game.
 
sell the cards
SELL ALL THE CARDS
or don't so I have less competition :P
 
They're only selling for like $.25 each right now.
 
@Unionhawk Ashley has that.
@StrixVaria It adds up
as for YNAB... I believe that for it to work you kinda have to make it an expensive purchase or you won't actually use it. sage nod
That said, it's the 8th best seller on Steam :D
 
1:28 PM
Oh hey System Shock 2 is $2.50 on Steam
 
You Need a Budget ought to have trading cards. I can just imagine some of them:
•Stuffed Piggy Bank -- A gleeful-looking piggy with coins bulging out of its top slot.
•Rainy Days & Mondays -- An open umbrella fending off bills that are pouring down onto it from above.
•Savings Account Before YNAB -- The inside of an empty metal box with a cobweb in the corner.
•You Shall Not Pass -- A re-enactment of that scene in Lord of the Rings with Gandalf and the Balrog, only this time the Balrog is blinged out with temptations and waving a dozen credit cards.

Q: How often do party members update thier dialogue?

SandokanIn ME1, your party members have new stuff to say every now and then when we are on the Normandy. Is it updated on a regular basis or only when you do story based missions and progress futher into the game? Haven't seen a real pattern so far.

 
@BenBrocka I know!
 
I'm not sure how the level cap works with Playthrough 2 anymore. Generally I would recommend playing playthrough 3 with friends, it's noticeably harder than playthrough 2, even ignoring levels. Enemies do tons of damage and generally take a lot of damage
I'd stick to playthrough 2 when solo unless you're finding it too easy to be fun, and stick to playthrough 3 for multiplayer. Worth noting though I think pearlescent weapons (much more common now I hear) are only in playthrough 3

Q: Does jumping to a nebula still slow the rebel fleet if they're not yet visible in the sector?

Oblivious SageIt's not unusual to find a few nebula beacons in non-nebula sector. These apparently delay the rebel fleets advance when you visit them. It seems like they always end up clustered right around where I start in the sector, though; do they still delay the rebel fleet even if the rebel fleet hasn't ...

 
Thoughts about that?
Tempted to remove his "what's the point" line and approve it.
 
@Wipqozn Check the link yourself.
 
Oh, you crazy kids.
He doesn't seem to understand what the question originally was.
Even what he thinks it originally was is a tad problematic, but what it actually was is worse.
 
@fbueckert How do you know that he knew about the Infernal Machines Event? The only Diablo 3 goals he mentioned were leveling to paragon 100 and beating the game on Inferno. He gave a concrete example of what he wanted: the Pandemonium Event from Diablo 2. There is an answer to that: the Infernal Machines Event. The revised question is answered by a subjective list of activities that people may find worthwhile. So we moved from a question with a single objective answer to one with a list of subjective answers. How is that an improvement? — Brythan 59 secs ago

A: Strategy for achieving Romeo, Alpha, Delta (Fly over 5KM)?

Goodwin Lujust like they said, 3/4 of the screen is crucial. Once I got to 4,498 (my current high-score) with Lucky-last and Gift-token. By the time you get to the 4,000's, it's practically luck, so with a bomb or a double-life, you should be able to top my high by two meters (

"not an answer"
 
The other answers seem to be more prolific in suggestions and whatnot, but this doesn't seem bad to me. What do you think?
 
Is Florida or Texas the most ridiculous state in the USA? The eternal question...
 
@Wipqozn This is a teacher, the other's a senate
The choice is easy

@badp True.

@Lazers Now I have Tom Jones stuck in my head. =(

Q: What is there to do after beating Inferno mode?

Jeff GohlkeI beat Inferno mode on Diablo 3 so I'm trying to figure out what to do next. There are a couple things I know about, like grinding up your paragon level, but that doesn't really appeal to me. I'm hoping someone can list the activities you can do after Inferno mode so I can decide whether to keep ...

I find it kind of funny that by making that meta he got the question closed.
 
> The problem with this is that it's primarily opinion based, which is one of our close reasons.
I know you probably didn't mean it this way, but the thought process should be "1. Evaluate whether this question has issues. 2. If it does, choose a close reason that best describes those issues", not "1. Search list of close reasons for any that apply to this question. 2. VTC"

@Brant that's not my thoguht process at all, and I honestly don't know how you came to that conclusion.
In fact you'll notice I didn't even vote to close that question.
I saw that it was problematic and tried to fix it.
 
Given the amount of puzzles you can solve by rubbing some bacon on it, I have to suggest Scribblenauts to @Powerlord
 
@Wipqozn I know, it's just a weird way of phrasing it. That's all.
 
> This version is much more subjective than what I had originally typed.
What.
 
My G15 keyboard is about to die, what keyboard should i get?
 
@Blem what features are you looking for?
 
3:30 PM
Another G15 from eBay. pours a Bawls on the ground in memory of his old G15
 
good keys, dont need macro keys unless they are place in a way so they feel natual to use when using wasd
 
I'm honestly happy with a Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 3000 :P
 
XD
@Blem: I'm a mechanical keyboard affectionado
 
It's very cheap but it hasn't let me down so far
then again I'm easily pleased when it comes to this stuff

Microsoft Hardware is, in my experience, quite reasonable in terms of quality and robustness.

@WorldEngineer After moving home from college once, I had a panic attack because I couldn't log into my PC. The password was wrong every time I tried. It's because the shift key on my Microsoft keyboard broke during transit.
 
user20683
@StrixVaria hence the "in my experience" :)
 
shit happens
 
user20683
I do intend to get a 100m when I get a real job
 
That being said, it was a great keyboard.
 
btw if you were using Windows 8 you would've been able to hit the "reveal password" button and realize the problem :P
 
3:43 PM
@badp I don't think Windows 7 was even out yet at the time.
 
just saying
 
I was still on Vista :P
 
user20683
I skipped Vista entirely

Q: How is it possible to have 700+ gold income

Andrius NaruševičiusI've watched some of quill18's gameplay on youtube and he was dealing with Egyptians and Incas that had incredible 700 gold income per turn. Meanwhile, 100-ish was what I was able to ever see as a player. Is AI cheating in some way (handicap?) or I just cannot see the way they do that?

re: that stupid Diablo question
The fact that he wants to use the information about things to do after beating Inferno to decide whether or not to keep playing is incidental to the question of "What's there to do once you beat Inferno?"
I don't see how it's opinion based... it seems like answers would be entirely subjective. Deciding whether or not you want to do those things is where opinion comes in.
 
@Sterno I agree that after @Wipqozn's edit, it's fine.
@Sterno *objective
 
@StrixVaria Yet it was closed after his edit.
 
@Sterno I've voted to reopen.
