Q: Does Puzzle Quest 2 Android Require a Data Connection?

I downloaded Puzzle Quest 2 for Android, and tried playing through the game, but I have not yet paid to unlock any classes. I seem to be able to play in airplane mode, however, once I unlock classes, will I be able to continue to play in airplane mode? Or will the game require me to have a data c...

Q: How fast does the limit break meter increase?

The amount that your limit break meter goes up is a function of how much damage you take and what limit level you're currently set at, and some specific status effects. I know that the higher the limit level, the slower the meter increases. The question is just how much slower does it increase w...

Github, stop being sooooo slow today (and/or 502 erroring)

I'm pushing updates to multiple repos, so the last things I want is a several minute wait each time

Especially 15 minutes before I leave work

@Powerlord Ummm, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow. So if you could be here around 9, that would be great. Oh, I almost forgot... Ah... I'm also gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday too, K?

Powerlord

@Coronus Oh, what a shame... my access card doesn't work on the front doors and the security guards aren't here on weekends.

And Github is responding normally now.

Also, @badp might find these plugins amusing. You know how it sometimes says you're dominating a dead ringer Spy? What if I told you I wrote a plugin that made the killer play one of their domination quotes when that happens? :D

Clearly, I need to test if it actually works.

Q: Why can't I play Fez when offline?

For some reason, every time I try to play Fez without being signed into xbl, it only let's me play the trial version, even though the only version in my game library is the full version. I'm trying to get all of the anti-cubes in the clocktower room by advancing the time on my Xbox (for which you...

Q: What are the actual names of the stages in Centipede?

In the 1998 PC version of Centipede there are many stages of 5 levels each. The bosses I was told helped contribute the name. These are: Giant Ant Giant Praying Mantis Huge Wasp (there are two more but I can't remember what they are) What are the five worlds called?

@Lazers What good does it do to know this?

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert what good does it do to know how long portal etc

Obviously it's important to him

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Dude, would you stop with Portal?

Seriously.

GnomeSlice

Map the human brain by playing EyeWire

fbueckert

It's annoying.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert I don't see why I should when it's a relevant comparison

I just forgot the exact question

Portal attracts lots of 'useless' questions, it's a good go-to game.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice You keep saying that, and still think it's special.

I see no evidence of that. At all.

GnomeSlice

@Lazers This needs a new title, but I don't know what it is.

Q: Who is GLaDOS's "only friend"?

At the end of Portal 2, GLaDOS sings "goodbye my only friend", but then follows up with "oh, did you think I meant you?" Did she really mean Chell, or was is Caroline? The Companion Cube? Wheatley? Sadness that Cave Johnson is gone? (which might come from the Caroline part of her personality) The...

Q: How can I extract the full audio or get subtitles of GLaDOS's sentences in Portal 2?

I started playing Portal 2 and GLaDOS voice and dialogs are simply amazing. I would like to hear or read again some of her sentences. Is it possible extracting them in audio or text form, from some Portal 2 files?

portal-2

@Fluttershy because right now it sounds like 'why did they do it like this' but that's not what he's really asking

Q: How much time has passed between the events in Portal 1 and 2?

At the start of Portal 2, it's clear that time has passed. You've been woken up every few months for physical and mental fitness tests, until something goes wrong and you're left in stasis for much longer. How long is Chell, your character, in stasis? How much time has passed between the end o...

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Ehh. I don't like this one.

@GnomeSlice Lore.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Doesn't matter if you or I like it or not, we're only small parts in a grand machine.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Exactly. So why do you keep bitching about Portal?

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice I read it is "Why can't I play Fez offline?" not "Why did they make it so I can't play Fez offline?"

Q: Does GLaDOS actually say "There Really Was a Cake?"

I found some youtube videos playing this GLaDOS sound file which I don't recall in the game at all. All the videos are fan made, none show the quote being made in game. I've beaten the game about 4 times but I've never been able to discern this from her final words. Was this included in the re...

portal

@Fluttershy Aren't those the same thing?

@fbueckert Why do you keep bitching about people asking 'useless' questions

When clearly they are acceptable

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Because they're useless questions.

Acceptable != useful.

If it destroys brain cells when I read it, it's useless.

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice Not at all.

Ullallulloo

@fbueckert So you can refer to them, I guess?

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert I think you might be reading it wrong

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice I think you're reading it wrong.

GnomeSlice

21:57

@Fluttershy It should be something like 'can I play fez offline'

@fbueckert My brain feels fine

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice Obviously he can't. That's his problem.

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo I kinda doubt they'd use names if it's not referenced in-game. It'd be, "Stage 1/2/3".

GnomeSlice

Then 'can I tell fez to use the internal clock' or something

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice The title's fine.

Ullallulloo

@fbueckert Yeah, but then that's an answer, not a question.

GnomeSlice

21:58

@Fluttershy Okay, I guess.

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo A crappy question.

Ooh, one more downvote, and I have 1,000 more downvotes than up!

Q: Good, free, online RISK game?

My friend & I were looking for a good, free, online RISK game we could play with each other on. Other than searching through Google, I wanted some other peoples opinions on this. Thanks in advance.

GnomeSlice

I don't know why you would be proud of being a hater but okay

fbueckert

And there we go.

GnomeSlice

@Ullallulloo what was the name of that game on Desura I linked you to a while ago

Ullallulloo

22:00

@GnomeSlice Which?

GnomeSlice

I could comment that guy it as a suggestion

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice I'm not a hater. I'm a purveyour of good, high quality content.

GnomeSlice

@Ullallulloo the one that was like risk

@fbueckert You look like a hater to me, but okay.

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice Quit while you're ~~ahead~~ somewhere.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice I call a spade a spade.

Ullallulloo

22:00

@GnomeSlice uh...there's one kind of like risk, but it's not really.

You did link me to a free online one though before that.

No that's not it

A: How fast does the limit break meter increase?

Using the data in Scott Chamberlain's answer, I came up with a chart to represent this all in kind of a more intuitive way. I don't know how to label axes in Excel. Don't kill me. The Y axis represents how much damage you have to take, as a percentage of your maximum HP, in order to be able t...

@Ullallulloo I just remembered it

atWar

This question is off-topic, but allow me to suggest atWar. It's got a free version too. — GnomeSlice 1 min ago

fbueckert

@StrixVaria It's FF7. I suspect it's still plenty popular.

Ullallulloo

Yeah, atWar, okay.

Land Grab's another one.

GnomeSlice

Did you ever play atWar?

I never did

looked nice though

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice I don't remember. I don't think so.

Whoa, this is free to play

@Ullallulloo We should try it

@Ullallulloo I'm trying it now

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Ehh, I only see SPAZ as notable there.

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX Hydrophobia.

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Eeeeeh... Maybe, I guess.

GnomeSlice

But otherwise yeah, it's mostly shit I've never heard ot

@RedRiderX No, that game is great.

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Miner Warfare might be cool if I had 5+ people to play it with.

Maybe

Sterno

22:26

Because they'd get about 95 decline emails every time

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice The water effects are indeed impressive for an indie title.

@RedRiderX They're impressive for any title

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX It's $2 if you want it by itself

It used to be free though I thought

fbueckert

@Lazers I believe this is a dupe.

RedRiderX

22:30

@GnomeSlice There is a demo on Desura but it appears that their website has been commandeered by the Japanese spam Mafia.

@RedRiderX ???

I don't think that's their website

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Oh okay.

@RedRiderX Do you do a lot of local multiplayer?

Because if you do you probably can't beat Quadsmash

RedRiderX

22:33

@GnomeSlice Eh, I have one other person I do it with sometimes.

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX Quadsmash

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice And you already recommended that to me last week.

GnomeSlice

Good

Also Delve Deeper. Kind of annoyed at how easily it crashes if you use a gamepad though.

I did manage to finish a game though.

Pretty great.

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice A ringing endorsement.

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX The concept is very good, and what is there is really engaging.

RedRiderX

22:35

Also, my gaming selection has been rather slim lately, what with being temporarily one-handed and all.

GnomeSlice

There's at least one action that often causes it to crash though, which is undoing your tile selection and choosing a new one

@RedRiderX Did you grab Sentinel from IGS?

It's really nice.

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Nah

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX Do it

RedRiderX

I feel like I've got quite a bit to work through as it is.

GnomeSlice

ooo Papo & Yo is on sale on Steam...

@RedRiderX You just said your selection has been slim

RedRiderX

22:37

Also see previous comment on one-handedness

GnomeSlice

Yeah I wasn't quite sure how that was relevant.

Oh you mean you don't have a lot of games to play with one hand

@RedRiderX Do you like strategy games?

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Yeah, I've been doing some of that lately.

GnomeSlice

How complex?

@RedRiderX I've heard great things about Projekt W: Phase 2, but the tutorial scared me away. It's free too.

RedRiderX

Also, stealth assassin is great for one-handed gamers.

GnomeSlice

Sentinel is entirely mouse controlled

RedRiderX

22:41

@GnomeSlice Oh, okay.

Maybe then.

GnomeSlice

That's why I suggested it actually

Can't get stealth whatever to load

=[

So is Projekt W

You should give it a go, and see if it's too complex for you

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Really?

GnomeSlice

It seems really well made

My internet is shit

tugs

I've been playing Don't Starve with mouse only.

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX also nitrome.com/games/hotair2

RedRiderX

22:43

@GnomeSlice Yes I know of Nitrome.

GnomeSlice

Good.

RedRiderX

Hmm, yeah I guess I was mostly griping to myself about not being able to try out first person stuff. :P
