my Unity is broken regardless of version now it seems.

Unionhawk

dammit wrong window

I'm going to blame chat forcing focus to the chatbox when you type

Michael Frank

@Unionhawk That gameplay after the explanation is crazy.

Ben Brocka

@FEichinger At work version numbers aren't public so I just let Visual Studio auto-increment rev and only change a number if it's major

Mondrianaire

@Wipqozn I think it's perfect. Again, I was in no way trying to accuse your answer as being unsatisfactory. Quite the opposite. You give great answers which is why I wanted to clarify what I should be going after in my answers.

FEichinger

12:04 AM

@BenBrocka I try to do proper semver, but then I usually just say "fuck it", because the distinction between public-API-changed and public-API-not-changed is usually hard to pinpoint.

Ben Brocka

Most of our apps are just tiny little one-function apps so no point in detailed version numbers, especially when it's all internal and usually only one or at most two different people work on an app

Q: To get to the Executioner's Chariot, do I really have to keep going through all the big guys with swords and whips?

Seriously. It's kind of ridiculous. I'm assuming (hoping?) that there's some shortcut between the Huntsman's Copse - Bridge Approach bonfire and the fog wall leading to this boss. The rope bridge is right above the bonfire, so it's not that big of a stretch, right? Please tell me there's a wa...

Ben Brocka

They kept the bltizball line. Good

Ktash

@BenBrocka X HD already out?

Ben Brocka

Some people who preordered got it today, I think release is tomorrow

Ktash

Ah, got it

I had a similar situation today, but I don't actually have the item lol

Ben Brocka

I'm in the opposite situation...neither Amazon nor Newegg shipped Yoshi's Island nor Metal Gear Solid in time to get here on release day

I think I will get Infamous Second Son on release day though. Amazon usually does that, not sure why Yoshi was an exception

Ktash

12:30 AM

Amazon always does well for me (as they did today), but Newegg has never done well

I've just stopped ordering from newegg

When they sent me an old Madden instead of ME3, I decided it was about time to be done

Ben Brocka

Well I have shoprunner so I usually get 2 day for free...but apparently they don't do that for games and/or don't do that if they get their free gift card with preorder

woah, never had them send the wrong item before

Only ever bought games from them when they have gift cards for preorder though, and Killzone at PS4 launch because they would (sadly) be the fastest to ship that had it in stock

Ktash

Yeah, and it took a week to get the right item, and they didn't do expedited shipping or anything for it, they just sent it standard, and told me to send back madden in the next 7 days or I'd get charged

I was done with them at that point. I've gotten the wrong item with Amazon, and they overnight me the right one and say you can ship it, or we'll schedule someone to pick it up

Ben Brocka

Huh. Their customer service with PC parts is usually fantastic. For games I almost always do amazon though because of prime

Ktash

So, Amazon won

@BenBrocka I had them ship me the wrong harddrive once too

wasn't a lot better

at least for me

Frank

1:02 AM

@BenBrocka That looks pretty gorgeous.

Unionhawk

> That god damn Titanfall ad keeps making my Xbox go to Titanfall

SOUNDS LIKE EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING THEN

Michael Frank

How does that work?

Unionhawk

Kinect, probably

MBraedley

@MichaelFrank kinect

Probably watching TV through the XBone, and the ad comes on

Michael Frank

Ahh, that would make sense.

MBraedley

1:14 AM

Why it isn't hearing itself properly is something else though

Slowpoke

Is this question not legitimate?

Q: Why is the first map load slower than the others?

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure. Whenever I start up a Source engine map, whether it'd be a private or public server, the first map load (Receiving Server info --> Sending Client info) takes much much longer than it takes if I were to disconnect immediately after, and rejoin the same server...

@BenBrocka @Fluttershy

Michael Frank

@MBraedley reminds me of the Xbox Sign Out troll in CoD.

FEichinger

@Slowpoke I'd say it's past the line on "why did the devs do it this way?/what did the devs do here?"

It's more suited for a site that actually handles the workings of the engine.

Which I doubt is Arqade.

MBraedley

@MichaelFrank "look at this idiot, calling himself xbox sign out, oh shit!"

Slowpoke

1:17 AM

@FEichinger Don't we have questions regarding "why is my game so slow, why is it so laggy"

SaintWacko

@Unionhawk @FEichinger @Fluttershy I am currently driving around in a buggy I designed and built myself

Unionhawk

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

FEichinger

@Slowpoke No, we have "How can I get rid of this lag/sluggish animation/whatever?", not "Why is that the case?"

@SaintWacko I hate you.

From the deepest of my heart.

Hate hate hate.

SaintWacko

@FEichinger It's amaaaaaazing

FEichinger

@SaintWacko HAAAAAAAAAAAAATE

The object creator is brilliant

My buggy is shitty

@SaintWacko HAAAAAAAAAAAAATE

SaintWacko

But I designed it myself

Which automatically makes it better than anything in any other game

You like Mass Effect? Build yourself a Mako. You like tanks? Build yourself a tank. You like Halo? Build yourself a warthog

This. is. awesome.

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko I take it you got Planet Explorers?

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Yes, and it is awesome

The only problem is I can't figure out how to get out of my damned buggy

GnomeSlice

1:23 AM

yesterday, by GnomeSlice

By the way, there's a free alpha demo of Planet Explorers you can download.

Chippies

After figuring out why Unity was all broken and glitched, I fixed it and decided that's enough of it for today.

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko How did you get in?

SaintWacko

Oh, r

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Good work, team.

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Right clicking on it and selecting "Get on"

I just started pushing keys until I found one that did something

GnomeSlice

1:24 AM

lol

You know it's an alpha when...

Michael Frank

@Chippies That's good!

Chippies

@MichaelFrank my experience with Unity is usually doing something other than actually doing what I intended to do. That's not good.

Michael Frank

Well, good that you fixed it.

Chippies

Yeah... I hate Unity, but I love Unity :(

Ktash

@GnomeSlice Probably want to turn that into not a one box...

Chippies

1:27 AM

someone recreated that scene of that movie about them hobbits and rings where they fight those orcs on that wall with legos flickr.com/photos/68794378@N07

Unionhawk

Yeah, I don't need another early access game. Theoretically, it's going to be more awesome soon, so... I'll wait for that.

Michael Frank

@Chippies reddit.com/r/afol

But wow, that's impressive. The scene is Helm's Deep by the way. ;)

Chippies

@MichaelFrank I looked and looked, but couldn't find what exactly AFOL stands for

and yeah, I know, I was just seeing if I'll get any hate or not :P

Michael Frank

adult fans of lego.

Chippies

oh, makes sense

Frank

1:30 AM

@SaintWacko What game is this?

SaintWacko

@Unionhawk It's already amazingly awesome

FEichinger

@SaintWacko Shuuuut uuuuuup!

SaintWacko

@Frank Planet Explorers

I'm calling it Minecraft Evolved

@FEichinger It's sooooo coooooool

@SaintWacko I don't like Minecraft, so I don't think I'll like any other voxel-esque game.

Oh, EA.

Chippies

@SaintWacko so what's the goal in the game?

@SaintWacko

A0.752 Patch
March 18th, 2014

Changelist:

Planted plants now have texture
**Fixed bug of unable to exit vehicle**

SaintWacko

@Chippies It has a story mode, which I'm playing now. It's kinda figuring out what happened and why you got stranded on this planet

@MichaelFrank Ahaha

Chippies

@SaintWacko okay, that's cool that there's a story mode :) I thought it was just a sandbox so far.

@MichaelFrank markdown doesn't work in multiline

@Braiam Ahh, I see.

tip: trying to launch a game mid-GDC is really kinda dumb

Heh

Frank

@AshleyNunn Wasn't that mentioned a while ago?

Thought it was.

user15026

@Frank Oh good lord

user15026

Sorry I don't magically know everything that gets mentioned in this damn room.

Frank

Yeah, their rating was at least slightly misleading.

GnomeSlice

1:37 AM

@Frank God forbid somebody post something that was posted earlier

Frank

@AshleyNunn Whoa, easy.

I wasn't saying that.

user15026

@Frank Sorry, I am just incredibly tired of people going OMG SOMEONE ELSE POSTED THAT

user15026

It's irritating, and kinda rude.

Chippies

@AshleyNunn I think someone else may have posted that on some other forum at some point in the past.

Frank

@AshleyNunn Well, yeah, but biting my head off for pointing it out in a nice way is kinda rude, too.

Chippies

1:40 AM

it would be interesting if there was a system that only allowed you the send words that haven't been posted before.

Frank

Not saying that justifies it, but I was just pointing out that we've talked about it before.

user15026

@Chippies I wonder how long it would be before we ran out of things

Chippies

I wonder how long the chat would last and how creative would people get :o

Frank

And I don't mind talking about it again, because EA bashing is always fun.

user15026

@Frank We talk about a lot of things multiple times, comes from having a rotating group of people.....

Michael Frank

YH3A BUHT THEEN W3D N3ED 2 P0ZT LYK DIS

Chippies

@MichaelFrank I can tell it was physically painful for you to type that

Frank

@AshleyNunn NO! IT'S THE SAME PEOPLE! ALL THE TIME!

Michael Frank

Yes. T_T

Chippies

I don't rotate, it makes me dizzy.

Frank

Cracked apparently has a video on why cats are evil.

I don't watch their videos, so I'm thinking I'm just gonna leave that one alone.

user15026

1:48 AM

@Frank I like their articles sometimes but their videos usually suck

Frank

Now, I have $13 in my bnet balance. What can I really spend that on?

Can I gift it to a friend, so he can put it towards his own RoS purchase?

Ooh! @AshleyNunn! I forgot! Family sharing is no longer in beta. Wanna be part of my "family"?

user15026

@Frank giggles Sure! :D

Frank

@AshleyNunn I have to take remote control of your computer so I can log into Steam with my credentials.

user15026

@Frank mmmkay, I am on Steam now, poke me and we can talk details?

Michael Frank

@Frank Sounds safe.

Chippies

1:50 AM

all you have to do is send your computer to @Frank in mail and he will set it up and send it back to you. Scout's promise!

Frank

@MichaelFrank 'tis! I'm a very safe person.

@Frank I don't have you on steam, but I do have @Wipqozn and @OrigamiRobot. I should do this, so I can poke you to come play monster hunter with me more often.

Frank

@RavenDreamer If I can't hear the room ping, I won't be able to hear the Steam one.

But feel free to add me if you like; I'm in the Arqade group.

@Frank With what avatar?
