@Wipqozn Well. Then I guess we can do some Advanced quests.

Why are we doing them, again?

GnomeSlice

fbueckert

Oh, wow. A car plowed into a building four blocks from my home.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Get @OrigamiRobot to HR7. Eventually 8.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn No, I mean why are we doing more Plesioths?

shanodin

@fbueckert good job you don't live four blocks away from where you live

Wipqozn

18:02

@fbueckert Oh, not sure. Ask @OrigamiRobot.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert UPGRADE MY WEAPONS

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert piesloths*

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Reason not valid. Choose another.

Wipqozn

I should start referring to Plesioth as Piesloths from now on. Great idea @GnomeSlice.

@fbueckert He likes to watch you suffer as you fight Piesloth.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Reason....valid. Dammit.

shanodin

18:04

so, question for you all knowing, bridge dwelling gurus of Arqade

what exactly does it mean when a flag is disputed?

fbueckert

4

A: Why is my flag still disputed?

No. Disputed flags are flags that one or more 10k users have marked to be invalid. You do not lose or gain flag weight to those, regardless of their validity or invalidity, and so don't those who disputed it. When a flag is dismissed invalid by a moderator, the flag is marked "Invalid." You do l...

Ignore the part about flag weight; that's no longer something we can see (if it's still even in the system)

shanodin

ah

fairynuff

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I think it's just invisible

@fbueckert Why is this not a valid reason?

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Because I said so.

Trent Hawkins

huh. I really didn't expect that Luigi question to bump me over 2k rep.

GnomeSlice

18:08

oh is the NVIDIA Shield out already?

fbueckert

@TrentHawkins Training wheels came off!

No more suggested edits for you!

Macha

Anyone seen the current humble bundle?

It's basically a Humble EA Bundle.

GnomeSlice

@Macha Yeah it has some great stuff in it.

But origin. =[

Macha

Meh. Origin's app works better than Steam's for me, and I've had more issues with Steam support lately than EA support.

GnomeSlice

@Macha Steam is a piece of shit.

fbueckert

18:14

@Macha Good to know. Stay WELL away from this one.

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice Almost all of them have steam codes too

shanodin

What annoys me is that they sell the sims on Steam but when you try and resolve an issue, all EA say is "uninstall it, get origin, download it again"

GnomeSlice

I actually haven't tried Origin because I don't have anything on it. But everyone complains about it a lot.

skovacs1

@shanodin Does this imply we live in the bridge, on the bridge or under the bridge?

fbueckert

@shanodin Sounds like a deliberate sabotage to move users from Steam.

GnomeSlice

18:15

Mirror's Edge and Burnout Paradise are amazing.

Macha

I got the Mass Effect trilogy there because it was on sale.

shanodin

@fbueckert yup

@skovacs1 your choice :P

GnomeSlice

@skovacs1 Quit trip trapping on my bridge.

fbueckert

EA requires Origin for all it's latest games. Ergo, I will never buy any more EA games. Ipso facto.

Ullallulloo

skovacs1

18:17

shanodin

@skovacs1 ?

skovacs1

@shanodin Reminds me of this

GnomeSlice

@Ullallulloo hah

@skovacs1 nohotlink

Arakawa Under the Bridge

is a Japanese manga series created by Hikaru Nakamura. The manga was first serialized in the Japanese seinen manga magazine Young GanGan starting December 3, 2004. An anime adaptation by Shaft was broadcast in Japan between April 4, 2010 and June 27, 2010 on TV Tokyo. A second season, titled Arakawa Under the Bridge*2, aired in Japan between October 3, 2010 and December 26, 2010. Plot Set in Arakawa, Tokyo, the series tells the story of Kou Ichinomiya, a man who has accomplished everything by himself. Ever since he was little, his father has taught him one rule: to never be indebted ...

shanodin

aha

Ullallulloo

18:18

@GnomeSlice click it

GnomeSlice

same thing

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice Yeah, but you can see it that way, I mean.

skovacs1

@GnomeSlice ??? It's a pretty large pic. Maybe it isn't pulling for you.

GnomeSlice

@Ullallulloo I couldn't.

SaintWacko

Humble Bundle has fallen to the darkness

GnomeSlice

18:19

@skovacs1 College internet, it's not that.

Ullallulloo

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko No way. Mirror's Edge and Burout!

@Ullallulloo yeah I definitely don't see that

SaintWacko

@skovacs1 Good job

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria ahhhh what

alexanderpas

18:20

@skovacs1 click, refresh.

StrixVaria

That's some serious skill.

Ullallulloo

@SaintWacko noooooooo

skovacs1

@alexanderpas ahh. I see

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Can you imagine if you made an error and had to start over.

fbueckert

@SaintWacko Yup. Origin only. Screw that.

shanodin

18:21

@StrixVaria that's awesome

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Everything but Battlefield and The Sims have Steam keys as well.

skovacs1

Last time

Ullallulloo

Aaand the Egyptian military's firing on civilians again.

GnomeSlice

@skovacs1 lolwtf I see a giant nohotlink image

shanodin

@Ullallulloo D:

GnomeSlice

18:22

@skovacs1 there we go

skovacs1

@GnomeSlice thank god. Never going there again.

Shotgun Ninja

@skovacs1 love this series.

GnomeSlice

@skovacs1 lol

fbueckert

So, I can pick three places to go to from this list for tomorrow.

Suggestions?

skovacs1

@SaintWacko As usual, I think I own most of the entire bundle.

GnomeSlice

18:25

@skovacs1 That's because humble only really picks high profile titles, even in the indie bundles.

shanodin

@GnomeSlice they didn't used to

skovacs1

And no soundtracks?! What?! boo.

GnomeSlice

@shanodin Examples?

Michel

Yellowwww

:3

GnomeSlice

I mean they had like hotline miami in the last one.

dungeon defenders

beat hazard

Mad Scientist

18:26

I actually own none of the titles, I think the only EA game I bought in the last years was ME3

GnomeSlice

Although the voxatron one was really cool

badp

I ARE BACK

mostly

GnomeSlice

@MadScientist oooo get it!

Grace Note

Welcome back!

badp

("You were gone?" in 3, 2, 1...)

Ullallulloo

18:27

Maayybe I'll pick it up an just give it all to the Rec Cross.

fbueckert

@badp You were back yesterday.

Ullallulloo

But still. That's just stupid.

badp

@fbueckert but now my laptop is connected to an actual internet connection of a place I am renting

so that's way more like being back than I was yesterday

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice @RonanForman @RedRiderX Are any of you playing Hammerwatch with a controller?

fbueckert

@badp Being back is a binary state.

GnomeSlice

18:28

@SaintWacko Yes.

Ronan Forman

@SaintWacko Yeah.

badp

@fbueckert so is making shitty arguments. Stop

Mad Scientist

First time I was an asshole on the Humble Bundle and payed 1$ (to charity, of course). The Bundle works at least in part due to some respect towards the devs, but this time it's EA

shanodin

@GnomeSlice the early bundles had stuff like And Yet It Moves, Crayon Physics, Atom Zombie Smasher

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Does it allow you to attack in any direction?

shanodin

18:28

Dungeons of Dredmor

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Yes, but it's tricky.

fbueckert

@badp Okay, in a bad mood. Got it.

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Hold the right trigger and move the stick to aim without moving.

SaintWacko

Not just 8 direction, I mean

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Oh, no

SaintWacko

18:29

@GnomeSlice Oh, okay

GnomeSlice

Hold the left trigger to strafe while facing the current direction

badp

@fbueckert Just not in the mood for that kind of argument. I'm pretty uppity.

skovacs1

Ronan Forman

@SaintWacko Yes, change it in the controller advanced menu.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman uh?

You can?

fbueckert

Q: Pseudo ASCII graphics: What is the point?

Dwarf Fortress uses tiles; tiles that are images of ASCII characters no less! I see this as counter-intuitive. I thought the idea of using ASCII characters instead of graphics is so you could run in terms and have a huge performance gain. With this in mind, why is the default tileset not more "pr...

dwarf-fortress

"Why did they design it that way?"

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice Yeah, limit to 8 directions is checked by default.

badp

@SaintWacko ...must ...stop ...impulse

SaintWacko

Also, what class is everyone using?

@RonanForman Ooh, that would be nice

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman wow.

SaintWacko

I wish I could do that with keyboard

GnomeSlice

18:30

@SaintWacko I've only really tried playing with two.

badp

...actually, only Dead Space 3 isn't available on Steam

GnomeSlice

The Paladin is a piece of shit against the acid worm things.

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice This

fbueckert

@skovacs1 I approve

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko the guy with the arrows seems like the best

SaintWacko

18:31

@GnomeSlice yeah, that's what I found in the demo

Q: Can I stop Scavenging without being attacked?

I've just started playing Organ Trail, and I can't figure out if there's a way to voluntarily stop scavenging. I've tried to walk off of the screen, but that doesn't seem to work, though I've only been able to try at the top and the left side. I don't want to keep burning through my medkits thoug...

organ-trail

GnomeSlice

Also I can't figure out why the warlock has more HP than the Paladin

SaintWacko

I was hoping they had balanced it some

Warlock is also a lot of fun

GnomeSlice

Yeah I tried him in the defense level

Trent Hawkins

@fbueckert if you plan to eat at any of them, The Ukraine Pavilion has good food. (although the perogies and holubtsi are probably mass produced and don't taste as good as they should :/ )

GnomeSlice

18:31

the wizard guy has too short range too.

and he dies in like 2 hits

shanodin

catch ya later, bridge-dwellers

badp

later

Trent Hawkins

I have the strangest urge to OBE4 @fbueckert

Wipqozn

@Macha Your gravatar is so awesome.

I think I say that everytime you wander into chat.

GnomeSlice

droidgamers.com/index.php/game-news/hardware-a-devices/…

Macha

18:35

@Wipqozn Oh, I don't remember you saying that. IT's just a shot from the anime

Wipqozn

@Macha I know. I think that was my first anime

Not counting Dragonball Z or Sailor Moon.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn NERD!

Wipqozn

badp

> As Sun Tsu said in the Art of War, the enemy of my enemy is a whiny teenager shouting tactics in my ear over voice chat that don't make any sense.

Wipqozn

@Macha In case you didn't realize it existed.

fbueckert

18:36

@OrigamiRobot You say that like it's a bad thing!

Macha

Ah, I'm not often active on SE these days

Wipqozn

I should do a rewatch of .hack//sign sometime. I don't think I've watched it since it first aired on YTV back in the day.

GnomeSlice

dothack is such a silly name

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice So is GnomeSlice

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn I actually never finished it because I have all the disks except 4

Finshed both PS2 games though

GnomeSlice

18:38

@OrigamiRobot Yep.

OrigamiRobot

That's why we call you GnomieBear

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka I'm talking about the anime.

I never played the games.

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn That's what I meant

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot GnomieBear is best Bear.

Oh, oky.

Ben Brocka

The sudden realization you can feel your tongue again is a weird feeling

Wipqozn

18:39

You threw me off with the game comment.

Ben Brocka

Yeah, I finished the games, not the anime

Macha

I did the opposite

The gameplay just wasn't very good, at least on the first one

badp

@BenBrocka dentist?

Ben Brocka

Yeah, second one had much better gameplay. I still found it fun though

@badp Yeah. First filling in 5 years, second ever. I forgot how long your mouth goes numb

badp

@BenBrocka Too long

I might have some of that coming my way once I go back home

Ben Brocka

18:42

Certainly ruined my lunch plans, I just got a milkshake I could kinda taste, only on the right 1/4th of my tongue

badp

doesn't the effect last for two hours or so?

GnomeSlice

►

Ben Brocka

@badp It'd been four

Hence the milkshake, if I needed to chew I might bite my tongue

(I attempted to spell bite "bight" there and I'm not sure why)

Mad Scientist

Is Mirror's Edge something that should be played with a game pad or with keyboard + mouse?

GnomeSlice

@MadScientist Gamepad.

Ben Brocka

18:46

It's first person isn't it? It's not a shooter though so gamepad is probably okay

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka I play FPS with gamepads too lol.

But yeah. Gamepad.

Ben Brocka

I got the impression that movement/button precision was more important than "aiming" precision but I've only played the demo

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka bluhbluhbluhb buy it. And yes, you're right about that.

Although you can pick up guns

Ben Brocka

As of the EA bundle I will have it on Steam twice and origin once

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka I thought you said you only had the demo?

Ben Brocka

18:48

Only played it, I picked it up on a steam sale (then humble just now)

GnomeSlice

...why did you pick it up and then never play it?

;_;

Q: What Camera is packaged with Call of Duty Ghosts Prestige Edition?

So for those of you who didn't get to see the multiplayer reveal, Call of Duty Ghosts has two editions. Prestige and Collector's. After calling my local Gamestop I had an employee tell me the hidden skus are for $200 and $120 respectively. To define Hidden: Unreleased item information So in th...

that's about the only problem I see here

Humble Bundle has fallen to the darkness

EA is giving all the money they make to charity.

They don't get anything from this.

but... EA is the devil!

They can't do good things

SaintWacko

@Wipqozn o.0

Wipqozn

Someone, quick, twist this into something negative so we can continue our mindless hate of EA.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice give me a quote.

Quick

SaintWacko

What charity? Kitten Kickers Without Borders?

OrigamiRobot

18:52

Don't think

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Also most of those games come with steam keys.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Origin = EA = evil = Nope. No way.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Yes, but EA gets none of the money and you can activate most of the games on Steam.

Ben Brocka

All the money goes to charity or humble and almost all the games are on steam

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Most != all.

Ben Brocka

18:53

Plus it's mostly their good franchises, like Dead Space and Burnout and Mirror's Edge

fbueckert

And either way, remember, this is EA; they ruined SimCity by making it online only.

badp

I gave 100% of the $1 cut to Wolfire and am ignoring the Origin Keys

OrigamiRobot

Wipqozn

@GnomieBear Too late. The card is made.

Ben Brocka

@Powerlord It still makes sense if you think of it as "charity + pay what you want". The "indie" part of it has been gone for a while
