12:12 AM
@OrigamiRobot ew, why did you ping me with this
that's horrifying
 
user20683
@Brant a number of other designers have done so. Also one of the Game Dev mods works for Arena Net I think

Q: Weapon switch on the right side of the screen on Team Fortress 2?

TheOfficialDr.DubstepWhen I play TF2, when I switch weapons, the weapon switch menu used to be on the left. Now, I turn on my TF2 (On PC btw) and when I switch weapons, the weapon switch menu is on the right side. I have no idea why, and now I have to get used to it, albeit I want the menu to go back to the left side...

Q: Optimal level for Yuffie to be to attempt Godo's pagoda

cst003What is the best level to have Yuffie at in order to attempt fighting her way through the 5 bosses of Godo's pagoda in Wutai?

 
Can someone help me find that meta post that has the picture of what you should and should not vote on in a post?
nevermind, found it

Q: Do Major Pirates attack each other?

Young GuiloIn Sid Meier's Pirates can 2 major pirates fight each other? If they did do they now carry the other pirate's golds with them? The Reason I'm asking is because Instead of finding all ten maybe I could defeat a "super pirate". Is this possible?

I feel like that's exactly what we should not be doing in the comments (or in chat).
 
12:35 AM
@Sterno Yep.
 
I knew I shouldn't have downvoted that when it was at 0.
 
eduvg'
 
Let's just let that sink for a moment: Guilo is approaching the close vote priv.
 
@FEichinger Good for him!
Oh wait, that guy
Is that good?
 
@GnomeSlice Hrrhreem.
 
12:39 AM
@GnomeSlice It kinda is, actually.
 
We'll see.
 
Erroneous close votes are seen by the community, and should get shot down rather easily.
 
Which also means that that erroneous behaviour is a lot more visible than invalid edits and blatantly ignoring crap in the quality reviews.
 
The guy is passionate about the site. Focus on the positive. Everyone gets better with time.

12:42 AM
@Sterno True dat.
But to varying degrees, of course.
 
@RedRiderX Yeah, I mean look at me
 
@Sterno It just takes a gorram lot of pushing in the right direction. And there's a serious lack of tools to do so without going all the way through moderators.
 
And I've seen no evidence to think he'd edit questions into a worse state or anything like that. And we still can see stuff like that, since edits pop to the front of the home page.
 
@GnomeSlice Early model claptrap. before Jack destroyed them all.
 
@GnomeSlice No comment. :P
 
12:44 AM
@TrentHawkins Who?
 
@TrentHawkins Oh, something from Borderlands.
@TrentHawkins Also you might be very interested in the second video.
Given how much you like KSP
 
@FEichinger He's learning. I say give him a chance before we start deciding he'll abuse them.
 
@GnomeSlice idk, why do you ping me with sloths?
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't.
 
12:54 AM
Liar.
 
@OrigamiRobot Link?
 
1:10 AM
@GnomeSlice Hey, that's a good bundle!
 
@Fluttershy Yeah, it is
 
@GnomeSlice What did you mean picked by a pony? O_o
 
@GnomeSlice PewDiePie ain't a bad bro, but I can't say that I appreciate his video style.
 
I guess I don't get the "pony" thing. Does PewDiePie like ponies?
 
@Fluttershy No more or less than any non-brony, I think.
 
1:17 AM
@RedRiderX There are some pretty serious pony-hating non-bronies. <_<
 
I honestly don't care either way. I like MLP but that's my business.
 
@Fluttershy Those are more anti-bronies, no?
 
I just don't really care for when people shoehorn them into any non-related topic, whether for or against.
 
@Yawus Or when people generalize them to the point of being offensive.
 
Ah, Arqade... it's been a while since the last, "How do I sleep with everyone" question?
 
1:18 AM
@BenBrocka I just finished palying through it. It was great, and also really sad, and also happy, and also mixed emotions everywhere.
@AshleyNunn should play it.
 
@RedRiderX And... maybe? I'm not really up on all the terminology.
@Wipqozn You beat it already? o_o
 
@FEichinger Fun fact: I had a default gravatar up until I became moderator.
 
@Fluttershy Yes. IT's not very long.
 
@RavenDreamer Which happened to have a hidden shark the whole time.
 
(And even that was only to change to a differently colored default gravatar)
 
1:20 AM
Or something like that.
 
I only had a totally non-default gravatar after Hat Dash the first.
 
@Wipqozn Hmm... might hold off then. $18 seems pricey for something I can beat in one sitting.
 
@RavenDreamer HE LIVESSSSSSSSSSSSS
 
@Fluttershy Yeah, the price is ridiculous.
I decided to take the plunge because I was really in the mood for it tonight, but $20? Way too high.
 
@Fluttershy it sounds like a pony name or something
is it not?
 
1:34 AM
Games for Windows Live is going away!
At least the Marketplace is.
 
A heartwarming narrative that couldn't exist outside of videogames. Excellent mechanical intereaction. Amazing attention to detail. Not a single videogame trope on display.

Oh.

And non-pretentious. God, what a game.
cc Gone Home
 
@Fluttershy I would buy it when it goes on sale though. Despite begin short, it felt just the right length.

I've been over the entire house twice, but without any luck. Unless these keys don't exist, then I obviously mi...

Q: What is the effect of plant food on all types of plants?

jmfsgA new feature in the new plants vs zombies game is plant food that you can feed to your plants for a (temporary?) power boost. For example, feeding your sunflowers makes them produce like 5 suns on a row, feeding your cannon flowers makes them have a burst of fire. What are the effects on the o...

 
I seem to have acquired a taste for stout.
 
@Wipqozn It's a damn fine mouse
 
@GnomeSlice PewDiePie? No. He's a YouTuber.
 
@Fluttershy Oh boy, that means he's probably even worse.
But no I did some reading.
Looks like he does a lot for charity.
 
@Yawus Should try Sam Adams Cream Stout when it's around again!
 
1:59 AM
Which is pretty good.
bedtime
 
@Fluttershy Sure thing! I know my local market stocks Dogfish so I'm probably going to look into that on Saturday.
 
So good.
 
okay real bedtime
 
Ok. I kinda like Folklorama.
 
Netflix took Avatar: The Last Airbender off of their instant streaming. =( Now I am sad.
How the hell are you gonna release a Settlers of Catan game on Steam and not have multiplayer? That's dumb.

Q: What mechanism is behind whether large enemies flinch or not?

ToomaiLarge enemies such as Hammertimes, Lightnings, and bosses seem to have no real pattern behind whether they flinch or not when hit by a normal attack. Is there a hidden mechanic behind it, or is it actually random?

 
You monster.
 
@jeffreylin_ That's like 3 hours away still here in Freedomland.

> It's funny, sure, but if this is how Valve is spending its precious work hours these days, Half-Life 2: Episode 3 is never going to come out.
 
@jeffreylin_ I'm fairly certain Valve won't ever release anything with a 3 appended to it.
They'll just acquire new IPs, make a single sequel, rinse and repeat.
 
@Yawus Or, like in the case of Counter Strike, just not use numbers at all.
 
@badp you should have seen today's Binding of Isaac run. Great luck, got CRAZY good tears + chocolate milk, happened to get a Devil room after Mom's Heart, got really clsoe to beating Satan but died

@AshleyNunn you busy tuesdays/thursdays or something?
 
user15026
@BenBrocka Not usually, but I seemingly have been lately :(
 
@StrixVaria True, but Counter-Strike: Source was just a remake of the original game ported to Source.
So the real second game in the series was Global Offensive.

My goodness people are fast to downvote. I wrote up an incorrect answer to a question, not knowing the correct one and immediately as I posted it, someone else posted a correct answer. Right after my answer posted, I saw the correct answer and clicked delete on my answer. As soon as it deleted, it already had a downvote. This all took place in a matter of seconds.

Q: How do I block a zombie tornado?

spartacusDuring major waves, zombie tornado often sweep in and seemingly can bypass walnuts. How do I defend against them?

 
It has multiplayer, "local hot-seat multiplayer mode"
I suspect they don't want to disrupt their business model in catan.com
 
4:10 AM
I just had an interview
the manager said at the end "there's a hiring fair for this store in a few weeks, you should come early"
Is this a no or what
 
user15026
That is kinda confusing
 
He kinda said "Yeah, there's also a hiring fair, this job has 12 spots left, etc. etc. etc." then he told me to come early for some reason. Then he said Good Luck. I'm not sure if that's a reject, a semireject, or a flat out no
 
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/games/pc-games/pc-marketplace-closing !!!
GFWL marketplace is closing. Finally.
 
Anyone? :C
 
@Retrosaur Maybe he wants certain people at the hiring fair to meet you and give an impression? Sort of another stage of interview?
Or maybe there was a decision that they wait to make the final decisions until after the hiring fair since they're doing the fair anyways and he wanted to make sure you got noticed there to improve your chances?

Could be I guess. Thanks for the reassurement

Yea I can see it no problem
have you done a ctrl+F5?
 
7:33 AM
@Blem Nope - fixed
Strange, I usually have caches disabled.

@Blem Damn YOU!!!
But it did break the "total bundles sold" record.
Still not interested in it. But great value
 
I got it for mirrors edge, and a little for dead space
I wonder if they will add Crysis and Dead space 2 at 7 days
 
@Blem Already played: Dead Space, Dead Space 3, Crysis 2, Mirror's Edge, Battlefield 3 and The Sims 3. Not interested: Burnout Paradise and Medal of Honor
Oh damn - I forgot that, if you buy early, you get the extra for free...
 
Gah, can't sleep!
 
So, I might shell out the 0.79 €
 
8:30 AM
So... I think I might be pulling an all-nighter.
 
@Yawus You do that
 
I hate nights when I really can't go to sleep.
 
@Yawus Can't remember when I had one. I usually get dead tired at around 0:30
 
@5pike Same, but every now and then, I'll lie down in my bed and just stare at the ceiling until the sun comes up.
 
@Yawus Read a book.
 
8:34 AM
I am getting old, i get tired at around 22:00
some times at 19:00
 
@Blem on workdays or always?
 
Honestly, I'm not sure if it's worth another go at trying to sleep. I have to get up in 3 hours anyway.
 
Blimey - I just won the Canadian Lottery.
Strange. Can't remember playing in the Canadian lottery
Or being Canadian
My GOD this is bad spam
 
@5pike most days
but i usually stay up late on weekends
 
@Yawus you can get at least 1 cycle of rem sleep out of it... I'd say go for it and you'll suffer less later
 
8:56 AM
@5pike It's bad for a reason, they filter out anyone with the merest ounce of skepticism at the first hurdle.
 
@Blem Nope
 
 
@Blem the "Origin" part of it still puts me off
 
@Krazer but the value is great

Q: How does Europa Universalis 4 handles the time speed in multiplayer?

GnoupiI played only the demo of EU4, and I'm wondering how the real time aspect works in the full game, in a multiplayer game. Is it a fixed speed, set on the beginning? Or is it adapting to what players want on the fly (for example going at the lowest speed requested, like Imperium Galactica 2)

 
@5pike For a Friday, I have to agree.
 
Japan has a "Rock Face" museum... Truly a wonderful place.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I suppose, but there are idiots and hate filled people in every group.
 
There are like 5 empty partitions on this harddrive, and for some reason I can't delete them.

Q: Do Olimar's Pikmin increase his weight?

desperationDo the pikmin that follow olimar in ssbb add weight to his character, and if so does the weight build and translate into smash damage? I'm wondering because I've noticed that my smashes in the home-run-contest are a bit stronger when I have more Pikmin.

 
Yes, there are idiots in our ranks, we shouldn't avoid talking about it, but we also shouldn't just run and hide.
 
One of the major advantages of Arqade as a Gaming site is that we don't have the endless, completely overblown whining about everything that is wrong with the game that you always get on game forums. Death threats get moderated in most places, but many forums still allow a lot of hostile behaviour
 
Also, the comments on that article are fucking terrifying.
 
Comments on any news site are always terrible. Like Youtube comments there is no reason to ever read them
 
@MadScientist Yea, we just whine about new users!
> Isn't it kind of embarrassing that you're old enough to grow really, really ugly hair but not old enough to know what words like "justice" even mean?
