Q: Does the type of healing potion you give to the Wounded Guard have an effect on the game?

galacticninjaOnce you have encountered the Wounded Guard (which starts 'The Crusher's End' quest), you can choose to give him a healing potion, from a potion of minor healing to a potion of ultimate healing. Does the choice of healing potion (or not giving him a healing potion) have an effect on the game ...

Q: How can I see what alien types I've already captured alive in XCOM?

JaydlesI stopped using the arc thrower for a while because I was getting my butt kicked and started equipping everyone with medikits to up survival rates. But I'm in better shape now, and want to round up any alien types I never captured. But I can't recall what aliens I've already captured to study. ...

@AshleyNunn What @Gnome said.
@OrigamiRobot Zach was pretty cool, with his "hip hop-kido".
Can't believe I remembered that.
@OrigamiRobot Pretty cool band.
@StrixVaria You did not just link to Kickstarter
It's too late to throw money at it.
14:09
@OrigamiRobot meh
I'm still on Kickstarter
@fredley You have no soul.
Organic Panic looks like it's on the rocks, $17k in 6 days?
14:10
Also full bore. I backed that one.
@GnomeSlice Me too
@fredley How about Moon Rift? Or Distance?
Or Stonehearth.
@GnomeSlice Backed Stonehearth
I didn't, but it's gonna be sweet I bet. kickstarter.com/projects/1590639245/stonehearth
And Elite
And Carmageddon
14:12
Oh, Stonehearth got greenlit?
huh
neat
Morning, Bridge
I backed Shadowrun online, Enemy, Full Bore...
Too many others
I backed Super Motherload, but they didn't make their goal
@GnomeSlice Aww
I would have loved to play that
That game is addictively fun
I backed Distance, Full Bore, Dog Sled Saga, Moon Rift, and Super Motherload
@SaintWacko I think they're still working on it
Whoaaaa it got greenlit!
Wait I knew that
@GnomeSlice Ah, yeah, was just looking at that
14:15
@fredley I linked it, too.
I love the art style.
I also backed Sinking Simulator, but it turned out the guy running the campaign wasn't the guy making the game and the developer fired him because he was making all these claims that the developer couldn't do
It was a pretty big mess
The demo is pretty fun though
@StrixVaria Skullgirls is $14.99 on Steam.

Darth CoderI am using a Dell Inspiron 15r 64-bit Laptop with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed and AMD Raedon 7600M series graphic card. Recently, I downloaded PlayOnLinux with the intention of playing games and installing some handy Windows applications like MS Office etc. PROBLEM: I installed FIFA 11 on POL [ ...

@Fluttershy Oh, it's already on there for preorder.
Yep. And you get instant beta access, apparently.
14:18
> Classic six-button play gives each character a huge variety of attacks and special moves
That's a lot of money. =[
A is for Azathoth
B is for Bholes
C is for Cthulhu
D is for Dagon
E is for Eibon
F is for Fthaggua
G is for Gnoph-Keh
H is for Hastur
I is for Ithaqua

How does this work with Xbox controllers that only have 4 face buttons?
@GnomeSlice That's one of the few I'm waiting for.
@StrixVaria Bumpers I expect.
14:18
@GnomeSlice Bumpers suck.
@StrixVaria You suck.
@ShotgunNinja Quel'Thalas
@GnomeSlice Everything sucks.
A should be for Astarte
@StrixVaria Also I forget, do you have Megabyte Punch?
14:20
@ShotgunNinja J is for Joseph Curwen
I think Azathoth, the mad blind being at the center of the universe, gets to be A.
@GnomeSlice Yes. It's average.
@OrigamiRobot Too late to edit
@GnomeSlice Have they increased the number of parts available?
14:21
Nooooooooooooooo
Xbox 360 controllers have A, B, X, Y, Back, Start, LT, LB, RT, RB. And the Guide button, but that's reserved.
@SaintWacko From when?
@GnomeSlice From last time I played, of course
@fredley hah
14:21
:P
@fredley Oh, you.
@Blem That's WoW
At least I don't think you can click down on the analog sticks like you can on a PS3 controller.
In the last 6 months or so
@Powerlord Yeah, you can
@SaintWacko Not sure then, try it and find out?
The final update is going to add the ability to save your character loadouts, among other things
14:22
I generally set those as LB3 and RB3, when I'm emulating a playstation controller
@OrigamiRobot I know ;)
Pinned message should probably be unpinned, now that the post is deleted.
@FEichinger Nooo
@FEichinger 10kers can still enjoy.
It's funny
14:23
@Powerlord Plus two stick buttons and a D-Pad
@SaintWacko Un pinned, not unstarred!
@Blem What a jerk.
@FEichinger Nooo
@SaintWacko FINE. BE THAT WAY.
@FEichinger Nooo
14:24
Q is actually for Q'yth-az
I read The Call of Cthulhu, It was ok, but wasn't that impressed
@StrixVaria and we can also enjoy <10kers being sad they can't enjoy it! (cc @fbueckert)

@Wipqozn 400 more rep, turtle.
@fbueckert Downvote everything
Besides, I don't really care.
14:25
@Blem The Call of Cthulhu can be confusing because it's so nested.
@fbueckert Just remember I gave you 500 rep.
@StrixVaria You did.
Everyone who ever upvoted @fbueckert should just get themselves deleted and request their votes be removed, too. :P
@fbueckert I would be over 30k if I didn't do that.
@FEichinger It would make more sense to just delete @fbueckerts account and force him to make a new one.
14:27
@Wipqozn Not enough deletions.
@Wipqozn But that would require mod abus--- Oh.
It would make more sense to delete the site.
@StrixVaria Because you get more privileges at that level.
@OrigamiRobot I like the way you think.
@OrigamiRobot It wasn't confusing, the story just wasn't interesting enough for me, I think i had to high expectations for it due to the many places that draw inspiration from it, same with Isaac Asimovs Foundation.
14:39
@Blem Yea, Lovecraft's actual writing can be that way.
@Wipqozn I don't understand how anyone could take this picture.
@Blem Foundation was so boring.
I have a problem with that old style of writing where it's essentially telling you the sequence of events rather than showing you a story.
Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea had the same issue.
It feels like I'm reading a synopsis.
@StrixVaria LeGuin in general writes very dry fantasy.
I have trouble reading her books.
@StrixVaria Get out
@StrixVaria At least in The Call of Cthulhu that is what is happening. You are reading about someone else reading the story from various news clippings and journals.

Q: How do I install the Aether II Minecraft mod on Mac?

AgentFoxtrotI asked this question on Minecraftforum.net and got no response. I'm trying to install the Aether II mod for Minecraft on my Mac. I've watched a number of YouTube videos on how, but they all reference my /bin directory. Ever since the 1.6 update, I no longer have a /bin directory, only /versions...

Q: Is there a Freelancer map navigator outside of the game?

Nam G. VUI love the game and would love to have a separate map navigator outside of the game to use while I play the game. Let's say we grap some information mentioning some planet/depot etc. and I have no idea where it is. I want to know the way to navigate there. Is there a desktop program or an online...

14:44
The Foundation series is amazing
Asimov is amazing
That whole era of scifi is amazing
@SaintWacko The concepts in it might be amazing (I don't know because I wasn't able to read it), but the writing is dreadful.
OrigamiRobot is amazing
@StrixVaria I disagree
The only Asimov I've read is The Caves of Steel and it was pretty awesome.
@SaintWacko That is what opinions are for.
14:48
Ladies & Gentleman, I pose to you an important question: Omelette for lunch, or burger?
I don't want to try to lessen your enjoyment of it. But I gave a pretty specific issue I had with it.
@StrixVaria No, opinions are to permit the existence of hate.
@Sterno Can you get egg on your burger?
@Sterno Omelette
@StrixVaria Yes, they are. And my opinion is that your opinion is awful :P
14:49
@StrixVaria That could probably be arranged.
@Sterno Omelette
Or Burger with eggs on the side
@Sterno Burger with eggs on the burger.
It's so good.
@Sterno I think you should have the omelette for lunch, it's very difficult to have an omelette for burger.
3
@Sterno Pancakes.
My favorite meal is at this restaurant where I get a bacon cheeseburger with fried eggs and hashbrowns on the side
14:50
@SaintWacko Put that all on the burger and I'd eat it.
@StrixVaria Oh, that would be amazing
I'd recommend pork roll on the burger as well, with the eggs, but none of you probably even know what that is.
When I was in highschool my cafeteria sold these giant chocolate chip cookies, and these burgers with absolutely nothing on them. Put one of those gooey cookies on the burger and it was amazing
Potatoes make everything better
@GnomeSlice chocolate on a burger?
Blegh
@SaintWacko It sounds weird, I know.
14:51
I'm not a meat and chocolate person
It tasted surprisingly good.
Do you like the chocolate covered bacon?
That sounds kind of gross
But so does chocolate on a burger
@SaintWacko Ugh, now I wanna go get a steak sandwich with shoestring potatoes on it.
@RonanForman Must make omelette burger
14:51
Chocolate pretzels are good because the salt goes well with the chocolate. For that reason I have to imagine chocolate bacon would be even better.
Thank you all for your input. It has been decided. I will eat a burger with an omelette on top and pancakes and sausage and bacon and hashbrowns on the side.

Huh. Blizzard's new MMO is no longer subscription based.
@SaintWacko My college friend was none-too-happy when, at the annual Cram Jam, I dipped a corner of his prime rib in some chocolate fountain.
@fbueckert Does not surprise me.
@fbueckert Unsurprising, aren't they testing F2P style items in Wow? Consumable for-pay shit?
14:52
Subscriptions are old hat.
@StrixVaria Oh, chocolate pretzels are amazing. But I just can't imagine meat with chocolate
@GraceNote Ewww :P
@Sterno Uggggghhh.
@Sterno You can probably get this at IHOP.
@Sterno Now y'got me thinking about the "Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich" idea we concocted at college.
Also, I discovered that @GraceNote powers Google Music's upload thingie
14:54
Google has a music service?
@GnomeSlice Er... yes...
Bugger
> The Google Play music player is currently available in select territories.
That's useful
Guess Canada isn't one of those.
Yup, Skyrim definitely has a dupe bug somewhere involving armor racks.
It uses Google Play?
Now to find out how to abuse that...
14:55
Huh. Sounds kind of useless anyway.
@Canadians Does back bacon taste like regular bacon? (I say regular bacon because I don't know what else to call it)
@OrigamiRobot No, it's more like Ham.
well it depends how you cook it
@BenBrocka Ooo you got it?
@GnomeSlice It's useful if you have an Android phone; it syncs over the cloud
@GnomeSlice I want to jerk it.
3
@GnomeSlice Not yet, probably will
@OrigamiRobot Beats me.
Pun definitely intended.
@GnomeSlice rimshot
Thank you, I'm here all weekend.
14:57
@GnomeSlice Note that cat "stock" on the gun
Try the back bacon!
@BenBrocka What is that?
@BenBrocka Aha, I missed that. Awesome.
@SaintWacko Mercenary Kings.
@GnomeSlice Looks cool
@BenBrocka This reminds me of some other stuff. Did I show you Bloodcrusher II yet? You can get guns that shoot swords.
14:58
@SaintWacko Mercenary Kings. It's Metal Slug with Borderlands and Monster Hunter mixed in and glorious pixel art from Paul Robertson
@BenBrocka + Tribute Games
@BenBrocka Shut up and take my money
Who are awesome
@SaintWacko It's $15 on steam, it's on Early Access too (not sure if it costs $15 right now or at release), coming to PS4 too
Can I download it standalone?
14:59
I want to make jerky this weekend and I have heard of people using back bacon. I have no idea what that would taste like though.
Or is it only through steam?
@BenBrocka you should try the demo for Moon Rift
Papers, Please! comes out next week on Steam, GOG, and the Humble Store... costs $10.
@SaintWacko I don't think there's a DRM-Free version of it
@SaintWacko During early access I'm pretty sure it's only on steam
15:00
@Powerlord Awesome.
Probably uses steamworks for multiplayer (co op is important) so I'd assume it's just Steam
Woooo Sentinel finished downloading.
@Powerlord why would i pay $10 for something that looks like a free flash game?
@Blem Because support developers.
@Blem For the same reason you'd pay that much for Binding of Isaac and the like.
15:02
@GnomeSlice I support developers who make something good
@Blem Because "looks like a free flash game" is a reasoning that makes me want to slap people.
@Blem It looks bad to you?
@FEichinger I had to leave the Ouya subreddit because people kept using that reasoning for not buying games
@BenBrocka Ergh.
I never got that, what is it about the ActionScript language that makes it free?
15:03
@Powerlord Binding of Isaac is only $5. <_<
@Fluttershy It's also really overrated.
@SaintWacko I preordered on their site and it's just a Steam beta key for now. Goes to the Humble Bundle site though, so it may or may not have a standalone
@GnomeSlice Says you.
I am the authority here on indie games, thank you very much.
=P
15:04
Yuh!
@GnomeSlice It looks like it has very little play time and close to no story
@BenBrocka It just seriously pisses me off to no end.
@GnomeSlice But support devs!
@fbueckert I didn't say it was bad and you shouldn't buy it.
@BenBrocka Aww
15:05
But people are like ZOMG BEST GAME
@GnomeSlice Overrated = you think it's bad.
@Fluttershy It wasn't when it launched.
@fbueckert What? No, I just don't think it's the best game ever.
@RonanForman Because pretty much everyone has a cracked version of some form of an Adobe CS including Flash, I assume.
@SaintWacko Don't you have steam?
15:05
People talk about it too much, like it's unique or special in some way
If i am gonna pay a decent amount of $ for a game it either has to immerse me in a story or make me play it for a decent amount of time
Im going home now, cu later
@Blem I recommend Krater
You don't have to pay through steam if that's the issue; their site has payment options for Paypal, amazon payments and Google Wallet
@BenBrocka Yeah, but if I'm getting a lightweight indie game, I prefer to put it on my flash drive so I can play it anywhere
@Powerlord I dunno what it was when it launched. But I only paid $2.50 for it. =P I'll wait for Papers Please to go on sale.
15:06
@BenBrocka Steam supports paypal
And I can't do that with Steam
@SaintWacko Try Pixelry
@SaintWacko You can do that if you install steam on each computer and use the right library location
@Blem You could always try the demo of Papers, Pleases! (which is free).
@GnomeSlice Which means you don't agree with their opinion.
15:07
@fbueckert Whose opinion? I just meant I feel it is overrated in general.
Pixelry Champions didn't even come close to meeting their kickstarter goal. =[
Game is too under-the-radar I guess.
@GnomeSlice I'm just pointing out the double standard. You think people should buy Papers, Please, because support devs, but not BoI, because you don't like it.
@fbueckert I never said you shouldn't buy it...
I just meant I feel like it gets a lot more attention than it deserves.
I think he's trying to say you shouldn't expect a game for free because you think it should be. But I'm not sure.
@GnomeSlice But you should support the devs!
Because they're indie!
1 min ago, by GnomeSlice
@fbueckert I never said you shouldn't buy it...
I never even said it was bad
15:09
@BenBrocka Yeah, but I'm not installing Steam on my computer at work :P
I just keep hearing people talking about it like it's the most amazing game and there are better offerings out there.
It was in that movie too or something.
Why are you even arguing with me about this
@GnomeSlice That you think are better.
@SaintWacko I would think that you would, generally, also not play games at work. Especially not networked co op ones
2 mins ago, by fbueckert
@GnomeSlice I'm just pointing out the double standard. You think people should buy Papers, Please, because support devs, but not BoI, because you don't like it.
@fbueckert Yes, that is correct.
15:10
@fbueckert @GnomeSlice
@fbueckert He was asking for a reason why he would want to buy it.
@BenBrocka Oh, didn't realize it was a networked coop game. Nevermind, then
Someone asked why they should buy Papers, Please when it looks so crappy.
9 mins ago, by Blem
@Powerlord why would i pay $10 for something that looks like a free flash game?
I provided him with a reason.
You said to support devs.
15:11
I feel like this argument got way out of hand. o_o
I don't like BoI either
That same reason holds for BoI.
@fbueckert Of course it does.
I never said it didn't.
@fbueckert @GnomeSlice For the love of god, cut it. This is getting neither of you anywhere.
Good. We're on the same page.
15:11
We're not fighting, can you guys stop inserting yourselves into our discussion.
@SaintWacko Well I think you CAN play it single player...but it'll be much more fun co op. And if Scott Pilgrim is any indication these guys make great co op
@BenBrocka ? Did they do another game before Wizorb? It's the only one listed on their site.
Are you thinking of a different studio?
@fbueckert I think you should buy Papers, Please because I tried the demo and thought it was an interesting game. I also bought Binding of Isaac, played it, and hated it.
@GnomeSlice The devs worked on Scott Pilgrim Vs The World before forming the studio
Hence why I'd recommend buying one game and not the other.
15:17
@BenBrocka Never played that, but I heard it was pretty sweet.
@GnomeSlice It's really good
Scott Pilgrim:

user image
Between being a high-quality beat 'em up, having Paul Robertson's visuals and Anamanaguchi for the OST it's pretty much perfect for Scott Pilgrim
@Powerlord If it goes on sale, I probably will.
@GnomeSlice Wat
15:18
Jul 27 at 15:34, by GnomeSlice
user image
I still can't figure out exactly how the faces have been edited.
Nor can I
Also, I'll point out that I linked to the demo of Papers, Please!, so you can... you know... try it yourself.
@GnomeSlice It's actually this one
Everything looks right in proportion to everything else
@GnomeSlice the middle of their faces has been squished
15:19
@BenBrocka Oh, yeah I know the game and the movie are separate.
Granted, the demo is only the first few days in the game (8, I think) and doesn't have an ending.
@BenBrocka The proportions of the individual parts still look right, though
Their eyes might have been lowered? I can't tell.
There's space between your nose and mouth, not in those pictures
Also there's some weird stretching around the corners of the asian chick's mouth.
@BenBrocka Oh, yeah I think you're right about that.
15:23
That's so creepy...
@GnomeSlice Knives. Her name is Knives.
@Fluttershy Is that like her superhero name or something
I literally know nothing of Scott Pilgrim
@GnomeSlice No. That is her real name. Knives Chau. She isn't a superhero.
lol. okay.

Q: In Shin Megami Tensei IV, what does it mean when my character smirks?

SpectroI've noticed my character will often "smirk" in battle. What does this effect do?

@Fluttershy I feel sad that I have but one downvote to give to something that awful.
15:42
Note to self: Eating durian, then going to bed without brushing your teeth is a really bad idea
@PrivatePansy wat
This is the new Super Hexagon.
Also, cool to see Whitaker Trebella developing games now.
Also for fans of twitch-gameplay who only like PC games:
It's pay what you want with about a $1 minimum
Pretty worth it if you ask me.
I'm horrible at it though.
I can't do anything above the slowest speed.
15:58
It's cool-looking.
@GnomeSlice There aren't many games that are not worth $1. The App store kind of proved that.
@JasonBerkan Which sucks for developers, actually... If you invest a few thousand into tools to make your game, hundreds into events to promote it, and spend nothing on post-tool dev costs, and you only sell 5,000 copies at a dollar each, you could still be negative.
