Greetings, all . . .
 
user15026
@DavidM Hi!
 
@AshleyNunn How you doin'?
 
user15026
@DavidM Excellent! I just finished a delicious dinner I made myself :D
 
@AshleyNunn Very nice! Good to see you in good spirits!
 
I think I'm going to loose my capital... One single tier one melee unit isn't going to stop a tier 4 unit...

@DavidM oh! I also have an interview on Wednesday!

Q: The Prophet's voice change

ahillier88I've just begun to play The Elder Scrolls: Online, and have run through the tutorial mission in cold harbour, in which the prophet is voiced by Michael Gambon (Dumbledore from the later Harry Potter films), however on waking up in the respective factions starting areas, when he appears as a spiri...

 
@AshleyNunn SWEEET!
 
user15026
@DavidM Its for inbound call center stuff but I am excited anyhow
 
That one has an amusing comments section.
@AshleyNunn Inbound = good. Outbound = suck-ass.
 
user15026
@DavidM That was my thinking too
 
12:09 AM
I've been killed by a shrine of Smiting. That thing looks like a couple nightmares together...
 
@AshleyNunn Did I show you this one? english.stackexchange.com/a/160740/59527
 
user15026
@DavidM Yes! I love it.
 
user15026
Your last comment is amazing.
 
@AshleyNunn Ha!
The guy was trolling me, so I let him have it . . .

Q: DS4 discharging while off

JuanI use the Official PowerA Charging Dock to charge my DS4 controllers (2), it's very close to the PS4. The story so far: I charged my controllers to 100% (~10pm), put my PS4 in standy-by mode (orange light), shutdown my controllers and left Infamous SS downloading. The next day I came to play (~...

@DavidM It was so beautifully done.
 
@Wipqozn Don't promise me drama if you can't deliver!
 
@DavidM Nicely done, sir.
 
FF X, complete!
 
@Fluttershy Sometimes, you gotta do it.

Q: What do the buildings in Google Maps Pokemon do, if anything?

RobotnikI've just started 'catching them all' on the Google Maps Pokemon challenge, and one of the first things I saw was a building. Clicking on the building just gives the underlying location and an estimated travel time to get there. Do I need to catch more Pokemon first? What does the building do?...

 
12:26 AM
I may come back to it later to max out stats and beat the whole arena, but probably not.
 
user15026
@Frank Excellent
 
@Frank But that's half most of the fun!
 
@Fluttershy The end boss was already a one-hit kill.
 
@Frank So you got all the Celestial Weapons, broke damage limit, and got everyone through two paths on the grid? Not bad.
 
@Fluttershy Tidus got almost the entire damn grid.
Now, to watch the half hour end-game cutscene that never made it's way out here.
Coffee, get. It's like a movie!
 
12:33 AM
@AshleyNunn So my sumbitches won't be ready for the live watching, unfortunately.
But, if you can't watch live, they should be ready for then.
 
user15026
@Yuki ooohh yay
 
@AshleyNunn Will you be able to watch live?
 
user15026
I wasn't really able to find a decent stream, I am going to have to wait and download I think
 
@Frank Awesome. I just finished the confrontation with Sin on Mushroom Rock. So I still have a ways to go.
 
I'm using Rolos for the chocolate caramel center.
 
12:36 AM
@Yuki !
I haven't had Rolos in years!
 
I haven't baked in a long time.
Hopefully, these will turn out delicious.
 
user15026
@Yuki That is the best plan
 
Also, we don't have an electric mixer so I beat it by hand.
 
@Yuki Been there, done that. Never creaming butter/sugar by hand EVER AGAIN.
 
user15026
@Yuki That should be fine. Let me know how they taste, because I kinda think I might make them this week. :D
 
user15026
12:38 AM
@MichaelFrank I gotta say, I do love my stand mixer for those things
 
@AshleyNunn We now have a little handheld mixer that smells of burning metal when you use it.
 
user15026
@MichaelFrank Yikes, that means you are likely overrunning the tiny motor :P
 
user15026
I have an awesome professional kitchenaid mixer
 
I don't mind creaming butter by hand; My problem is I tend not to plan ahead when baking, so the butter is fresh out of the fridge and hard.
 
user15026
Ah, yeah, that's always annoying because if you microwave it to soften it, there is only a tiny window between butter-rock and melty puddlestuff

Q: Do we die when we jump off the edge?

ermanenIn Bioshock Infinite, when we jump off the edges, we respawn immediately and there is some kind of zapping sound also. (This is different than dying when health reaches zero) Is this dying or something else? Is it related with the ending of the game? And is there any advantage of jumping off th...

 
@AshleyNunn I was only mixing instant pudding, but to be fair it was like $20 at the supermarket. :P
 
Well. THAT was a short cutscene.
I am disappoint.
 
Fantastic! Just did my first siege on an enemy castle and it succeeded. I lost two units, but that's a smal price topay.
 
@AshleyNunn generally if I do this, it's 5 second intervals between checking.
 
cc @Arperum
 
@Wipqozn The game is really impressive.
 
@Arperum Yeha, I'm really enjoying it.
 
user15026
@MichaelFrank Fair enough :)
 
Alright, gym time.
 
@AshleyNunn 17s seems about fine for my microwave.
 
12:55 AM
@Yuki But how much butter?!
 
@MichaelFrank 1 cup. I chop it up though.
@AshleyNunn Shoot, the episode started earlier than I thought. As in, it started an hour early.
 
So how many unicoins do you people have?
I started with 75 but don't know how common that is

Q: Do features bought with Unicoin affect everybody, or just me?

NolonarI just noticed that new Unicoins feature, and was fairly surprised to see what could be bought with them. Obviously, features such as Cut everyone's rep Divide everybody's reputation (except your own) by ten. or No downvotes, please Remove the downvote arrows from all your quest...

 
@badp ...I totally read this as unicorns and was thoroughly confused.
 
Unicoin doesn't seem to be working for me.
 
12:58 AM
It should be on the Arqade homepage
 
also, are you talking unicoin.info?
 
user15026
@badp It's local time specific, so it might not show for people yet
 
There's a mining mechanism but it's basically impossible to use on a tablet
WHY U NO CET
 
user15026
@badp I suspect you won't be able to get enough to do anything "real" beyond cosmetic changes
 
Well obviously
But the unicorn animations for 99ü?
(ü is now the official symbol of the unicoin)
 
1:01 AM
@Wipqozn Huge armies are quite a bit of work to gather, but damn, do they look impressive.
 
user15026
@badp Good point
 
Aaaaaaand it begins. Er, continues to begin.
 
@Arperum Starting a siege on a castle now. I have 3 full armies, each led by a hero. This should be fun!
Well, for me, heheheheh
 
Also, turning heroes berserk is so much fun.
 
1:07 AM
This looks impressive. Three full armies + a couple other units
 
The castle I'm sieging has two heroes at it, and doesn't even have walls.
Probably because I';m playing on the easiest difficulty.
 
And the worst part for the orc defenders is that they suicided their Tier 2 units some time before, so 95% of the defense is tier one units.
 
I LOVE THIS GAME
 
I ran past with a pixie and they started hunting me down, they ended up in my army and got slaughtered.
 
@AshleyNunn Yay!
 
1:11 AM
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses...
 
@Fluttershy HIT IT
 
Yeah! :D
 
@Fluttershy Favorite movie
 
@SaintWacko It's easily one of my favorites, but I wouldn't say it's my absolute favorite.
 
Awesome! @Arperum VICTORY!
...not exactly a surprise though :P
considering the numbers/
 
1:15 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz :O WHERE IN NC?!?!?!?!?!
 
I berserked onf o the enemy heroes, and he ended up killing one of his own troops + weakening the other hero.
No casualities, which si great.
 
Guys
I legit need to know
how much cantaloupe is too much cantaloupe?
 
@spugsley Three whole cantaloupe.
You're not one of those weirdos who puts salt on it, are you?
 
@Fluttershy wait, other people know about this?
I'm one of those people
Everyone always gives me weird looks
 
user15026
@Fluttershy ewww why
 
1:17 AM
@Fluttershy No but I put salt on cucumbers as I did tonight and Ian was horrified
 
user15026
@spugsley two cantaloupe?
 
user15026
@spugsley salt and cucumbers is yum
 
@AshleyNunn oh ok. I only ate one. And shared it with Ian.
 
user15026
@spugsley Then you are totally fine :D
 
Add ham to cantaloupe and you can eat as much as you want
 
1:18 AM
@badp you're confused again
 
 
@AshleyNunn I don't knowwwww! I'm all for salty+sweet, but salt+cantaloupe is a cardinal sin.
@Ktash That's because it's weeeeeeeeeeeeeeird.
 
@Fluttershy ... eh. Isn't the worse sin I've committed
@Fluttershy but it's good
 
user15026
@badp This works well, but you need to use decent quality stuff.
 
Bleh.
 
1:22 AM
@ash I guess salt would beat shitty ham, yeah
 
user15026
@Yuki Check your skyyyype I left you messagessssssss
 
@spu pugsleys gonna pug
 
@Ktash oh, do tell ;)
 
I am suddenly in the mood for eggs benedict.
 
user15026
@Frank Mmmmmm
 
1:26 AM
hastilymadeshittyphotoshopofspusgleywithpugface.gif
 
Preferably with tomatoes and other breakfast-y goodness on it.
 
@Wipqozn Same, no losses even, it was close though. A couple units were one hit from death.
 
Do you like the enemy @StrixVaria and I fought earlier?
 
user15026
@spugsley I totes read that as ballsack
 
user15026
I cant help it
 
1:28 AM
@AshleyNunn yuuuuuuuuuup
RIP ballsack
5
we killed him
CC @Yuki @Sterno @SaintWacko @kalina @OrigamiRobot @Chippies I dare you to find a better enemy name
 
@spugsley I'll get to work
 
@spugsley well, my wife got very excited when we had to kill a unique named "Kube" and she was like "OH EM GEE HIS NAME IS CUBE, THAT IS THE CUTEST THING EVER", but yeah, I guess yours is better :/
 
It's good, but I imagine not unbeatable
 
@Chippies lol your wife is adorable
 
user15026
@Chippies :D
 
1:31 AM
@spugsley she has a weird affection to cubes, balls and fluffy things...
 
@Chippies I also have an affection to balls
4
 
she wants to buy Nissan Cube someday because it's shaped like a cube >.>
 
@Chippies omg hahahaha
 
@spugsley Super Awesome Sparkle Cake, the Instakill Pony.
 
@spugsley Well what, pray tell, would you like to know?
 
1:32 AM
@Fluttershy pics or it didn't happen
 
@spugsley Spheres are wonderful. They have the highest volume/surface area ratio
Aristotle was right
They are the perfect shape
 
@SaintWacko and symmetry
 
@spugsley (cc: @Frank) He was there! He saw it!
 
@Fluttershy no pics, didn't happen
 
@spugsley Yes, full radial and axial symmetry
 
1:32 AM
and red freehand circles
 
@Fluttershy It was awesome.
 
Shiny spheres are even better
Okay, who fell for the obvious star bait?
 
@spugsley we once walked through a store and there was this green ball of ... not sure what. Looks like little fake flower things, anyways, she almost started crying and she just HAD to buy it. Now it's just hanging from the ceiling because it has no practical use...
 
Whimsyshire had the best enemies.
@spugsley Go fight in Whimsyshire.
 
@Frank I still haven't gotten there
 
1:33 AM
It'll take two or three tries for him to spawn.
 
Need to work on that

Q: Where is Rain's tavern located?

KroltanReviving a very old game: I just bought Silver on gog.com, because I wanted to play this classic of my childhood (may or not be a classic of yours). I've killed the giant at the Ice Caves and acquired the Orb of Ice, then proceeded to visit the professor in Gno. He told about a necromancer that ...

 
@Chippies I have to meet her. She sounds like the most wonderful person. I would buy her all the ball and cube shaped things just to see her reaction
@Frank Whimsyshire doesn't count. Those names are supposed to be stuipd
 
user15026
@Chippies Yeah, see that is like....something I would totally do
 
@spugsley I think you'd run out of money before she'd stop caring
 
1:35 AM
@spugsley That wasn't in the rules.
 
@Chippies awwww :3
@Fluttershy it is now
 
btw @spugsley you did sort of meet her, we played together on saturday for a bit
before she had to go to work
 
@spugsley Oh, sure. NOW you add caveats.
AFTER @Fluttershy proves you wrong.
 
@Chippies ah ok :D
 
Anyways! Time to play X-2!

Q: need help playing gta 5 on xbox 360

user73285I just got it, it said there wasn't enough storage and I erased almost everything, put apperentlly my storage is full and I can't play it? Help?

 
@Arperum Excellent! Another siege victory. Lost a warbreed. It's a warlrod unit which deals a lot of damage tow alls and other obstacles.
I might have actually just wiped out an AI player. I'm not sure.,
 
@Wipqozn Fancy. A faction looses when their throne city is taken and their main hero is dead. Basically whenever your main hero can't revive.
 
@Arperum Yeah, I may haev done that? I'm thiking not though. I didn't get a message, but it might need to be on the enemies turn. I did take out their hero.
and took 3 cities, one of which seemed pretty strong.
I'm in two wars right now. Someone I was at peace with declared on me during another war. What a jerk.

Q: Help with the game 'Ib'?

Kevin Frickin SoloI'm at the part where you're switching between Ib and Garry. I got the umbrella from the gassy room, and now I'm supposed to put it on the fish hook in the painting. But, there is no fish hook in it. I even switched back to Ib and there was no fisherman in the painting titled 'The Fisherman'. Wha...

 
Bah, I need to go to bed. I have work in the morning.
 
1:47 AM
@Wipqozn It's nearly 4AM here. I should go to bed too.
WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?
WHO STOLE MY TIME?
 
@Arperum Elves and goblins.
 
I blame @Fluttershy.
 
@Wipqozn I'm not the one who convinced him to buy a time sink.
 
@Wipqozn I blame you for making me buy another one of those extreme "just one more turn" games.
 
@Arperum So I think I know where the enemies capital is, but I don't think I can actually afford to go attack it because of the other enemy at wr with me. She's actually between me and and the cities I've taken from the other guy.
That is my empire is currently surrounding her, basically.
@Arperum Yeah...I'm a horrible person.
 
1:49 AM
@Wipqozn And in three turns his hero revives.
 
@Arperum YUp!
I'l worry about it tomorrow. For now, though, I'm off to bed.
 
I found the filthy orc capital, it got quite some defense though. Like 4 tier three units.
As far as I know I don't even have a single tier three unit.
Oh wait, I have a single tier three unit.

Q: How can I see what tier a unit is when producing it?

ArperumOnce I've created a new recruit for my army I can see what tier he is. But some upgrades in the cities are for specific tiered units (for example a building that gives all tier 1 and 2 units and extra experience rank). So how can I see what tier a unit I never produced is? And how can I see what...

There we go, first question for Age of wonders asked.

The unicorn voting animations are fucking awesome.

@Unionhawk What?
 
1 min ago, by Unionhawk
...
 
Don't ... me.
It's 4 AM. I take the right to find them hilarious.
 
I'll ... who I want to
@FEichinger ...
 
2:10 AM
 
@Chippies omg you need to plant those for your wife
 
@spugsley yeah, those are her favorite flowers, but I doubt they'd grow in the winterland of Newfoundland :P
we had a bunch of fake ones like that for our wedding, heh
 
@Chippies hahaha :D awww
 
they're pretty cool, they're like a big ball on a stick :)
 
@Chippies I had hydrangeas for my wedding which are similarly shaped :) not quite so perfectly round though
 
2:12 AM
@spugsley those look nice too :)
that looks pretty cool, but requires going out, so I'll pass.
 
@spugsley Maybe you should plant them for Ian
 
@OrigamiRobot why? he doesn't like flowers
 
@Chippies Omg a newfie... Run for your lives!
 
@spugsley That's why :P
 
@James I'm a fake newfie
 
2:16 AM
@Chippies Imported?
 
@James yep!
 
@Chippies Soooo you are choosing to be a newfie???
 
@Chippies I'm sure you're aware that's an April Fool's joke. ;)
 
@Chippies You don't actually have to go anywhere. :P
 
@MichaelFrank it's april already?! dammit...
@James I am choosing to be a newfie, yes :P
 
2:17 AM
@Chippies All month long!
 
@MichaelFrank oh well, I guess it's the day off the internet tomorrow...
can't trust anything tomorrow :>
 
@Chippies OMG Worst Kind of Newfie Evar!!! :D
 
@James to be fair, I spend majority of my time in the basement [apartment], so what does it even matter where the basement is located at :P
 
@Chippies Because you are either marrying one of my ungodly numerous cousins/nieces/nephews or one of their friends :P
That covers about 80% of the newfie population :)
 
@James probably all of that, because from what I have gathered, EVERYONE is related in one way or another :P
so I guess I'm here to put some variety in the gene pool
 
2:24 AM
@Chippies haha, yeah so I am told as well :D Good Luck! And don't trust Any of em... they all have that grin like they have a hand buzzer or a whoopie cushion around some where!
 
@James I'm sure some of them do! :P
 
@Chippies Yeah... I think those are the ones I am related too... :D
and now!!! I return to Lurking...
Going to try and start a Skyrim LP tonight.. again.. again...
 
@James lurking is the best activity :P
 
I love that game but damn hard to record it properly!
@Chippies :D
 
@James why is it hard to record it?
 
2:29 AM
@Chippies Do you play it on hard to give the game a real challenge? Do you reset it when you die? Do you have to start the recording over when you reset it to tell a better story? What happens when you fail to pick pocket that person?
Is it fun to watch someone save/load a game 1000 times until they steal the item they wanted? hehe
 
@James ah, moral decisions. Got'cha! :P
 
I think of it more as .. Entertainment Level decisions :D
 
entertainment is not an easy thing
 
Indeed
I've been recording for about a year and a couple of months now, I have an estimated 1,918,453 minutes of watched content.. And I've wanted to do a Skyrim LP for about... 7-8 months to see how it does.. but .. time is always a problem.
 
That's a very specific number for an estimate.
 
2:35 AM
@James do you do the talking thing?
 
@MichaelFrank Youtube only gives you 'estimates' so who am I to argue with it.
@Chippies Talking thing?
 
@James like, commenting as you play
 
@James Ahhh.. I see.
 
@Chippies Oh yeah... I talk to myself quite often... amazing if you record it how many people don't mind hearing it :D
 
some people do LP's with no commentary and few people actually prefer that, but I haven't seen anyone actually get popular without talking
which makes you realize that people actually don't care what you play or what you do, as long as you can entertain them with your voice
 
2:37 AM
@Chippies Yeah, Annoying thing is how many people I get tell me I am what they watch to fall asleep too cause I apparently have a soothing voice :D
Not sure how to take that compliment :D
 
@James whatever gets the views! :P
 
True :D
I am sure goggle appreciates the cash I make for them.
 
I absolutely can not talk while playing games
 
How cool would it be if youtube offered a 'commentary' mode. You record an audio track and upload it with your video. Allowing users to choose if they want to listen to it or not.
 
either my playing or my talking suffers
@MichaelFrank that is actually a really good idea
 
2:39 AM
drool
 
@Chippies ha! This happens to me... Wife walks in and I either die, or I stop talking part way through my sentences.
 
My dad can't talk when he's gaming
I can talk for hours
In fact gaming makes me more likely to talk
 
@MichaelFrank Would need some way to show two videos at once so you could sync em.
 
@MichaelFrank yeah, I usually stop mid-sentence until I can stop doing EVERYTHING or I have to repeat my words, because they come out wrong or I just use wrong words
 
@GnomeSlice Swearing at the screen doesnt count man :D
 
2:41 AM
@James I don't talk to my games
 
@James when you record, record from 2 sources with 2 outputs, 1 being the video with in-game sound and other being audio output from the mic
 
...usually
 
@Chippies Ah, i see, not something you play along with but two videos one with a commentary track
 
then edit the way you want it and save one as audio only from mic and other only as video/audio from game
 
I think I would be insanely depressed if the one with out me talking got more views :D
 
2:42 AM
@James no, you'd have to upload the video and then upload commentary audio
they'd be in sync, because you edited them together, just saved separately
 
That's the beauty of my idea. The commentary would work the same as annotations. You can choose to see/hear them or not.
 
Oh, So yeah, back to the how do I let people who want both sync it properly :)
@MichaelFrank Is that an option on Youtube?
...
 
@James it's not, but it could be
 
Imagine if I got other people to do the commentaries too :D
'OMG here, look, he is going to try to make that jump again and fail I bet ya.. ROFL Yeah he did!!!'
 
@James I don't see why sync would be a problem, if you edit it as if you are doing the commentaries, but you just render audio from mic and audio/video from game separately
 
...interesting
 
@Chippies How would you get them to play back at the same time if you wanted both of them? Just start the two and hope they dont desync or buffer?
 
@James that's why it would have to be a feature in youtube. You can't start them together NOW, because it's not a feature
it would be a single video on youtube with the option to toggle the comments
 
@Chippies Oh... haha, ok yeah :)
 
2:46 AM
one video with 2 audio tracks
 
yeah that could be neat
Heck I was doing tests yesterday to get 3 audio tracks for my videos :D
Did not come out that well though so [shrug]
 
perhaps it could be even used for multiple language videos
same video with different language audio tracks
I'm sure the idea has potential, someone should pitch it to google :P
 
Hehe, I was also thinking of people dubbing the commentaries over in different languages.. then I would -have- to do literal language->english subtitles :)
 
user15026
...the HIMYM finale sucked. I want cookies and ice cream and whiskey and a pony.
 
If my friend whom I have a brilliant reference to gets a job there, Ill be sure to give him the idea to pass along ;)
OMG
SHUSH!
Ive not seen it yet!!!
 
2:48 AM
@AshleyNunn gonna watch that tomorrow :/
 
But this whole last season has left me feeling kind of Meh
Most of the episodes just make me happy I am one closer to the end of the show.
Though I hear a spinoff 'How I met your Father' is possibly in the works :X
 
@James I think people don't like this season because it's more about the plot, instead of random encounters in their life.
which was what the first 8 seasons were mostly about
I still find it good, although some episodes were sad
 
@Chippies Flash backs from here and there are ok, but this entire seasons was put into an impossible setting and to get around it its 90% flashback..
 
user15026
@James Yeah, how I met your dad is a thing. Different characters, but similar sort of deal
 
@AshleyNunn Does it atleast have the girl who is the mother?
 
user15026
@James No.
 
user15026
It's basically like another group of friends and one of the ladies in said group is telling her "how I met your dad" stories
 
Anywho, I will see the last HIMYM tomorrow I guess and it will all be done.. I am more looking forward to the new episode of SHIELD honestly.
@AshleyNunn Ah.. So nothing to do with the original show at all?
@AshleyNunn BTW, Love your new Icon (New to me at the least ;))
Makes my cat feel Very unsafe chatting with you, hehe.
 
user15026
@James Yeah, nothing to do with it at all except like...a similar premise
 
user15026
@James grins thank you :)
 
2:54 AM
Okokok, Off to give a 30-60min play around in Skyrim
Make sure all my mods really are playstable :D
 
If you type in "[actor] bacon number" on Google... it tells you
