@GraceNote Don't encourage him!
@TimStone You should be delighted to know that there are 1164 "Tim"s on Stack Overflow

Q: What episodes of Doctor Who should I watch first?

Fernando BrianoMy question is related to the one about what older episodes to watch, but comes from a total beginner's point of view. I've heard wonders about Doctor Who and I've become interested in watching it. But there are lots of seasons with different Doctors, and I don't know where to start. Where would...

@Wipqozn Subjective to the extreme!
That is, users named "Tim" exactly.
Can I assume they're all your sockpuppet?
Most of the top Doctor Who questions are actually good questions though.
The top one is really bad.
14:07
Screaming internally
@BenBrocka ???
They're rebranding brand journalism
Join the movement at The Network (you know the one)
All I saw was focus magazine + cisco and completely missed all the other words.
@GraceNote I found the answer (on my third attempt through the dungeon)
Well, really, on the 2nd, right near the end of the boss fight. But I was still two short so had to do it agian
The magazine has been rebranded. Pray I do not rebrand it further.
14:10
@Sterno Did you also get the mushrooms on the floor as well as the ones by the walls?
@GraceNote I don't know. For the first 5 or so, I was never sure why I was picking them up. But near the end I realized doing my barbarian whirlwind attack thing near the tall mushrooms that looked like background scenery knocked spores down.
@Sterno Right, there's those and there's also small mushrooms on the ground of two rooms (ones that don't have the tall mushrooms by the walls, as it were)
@BenBrocka Wait, is brand journalism, like... company sponsored stories and stuff?
@GraceNote I think those are the ones I picked up without knowing
@RedRiderX Best I can tell it's identical to Content Marketing, which is basically journalistically writing about your brand in a real publication in such a way that it appears to be a news story not a press release or advertisement
e.g. the piss-on-my-feet-and-tell-me-it's-raining technique
14:16
@Sterno Probably. They're the small, flat orange capped mushrooms in the room with the Myconid Spawner and the room behind the door it blocks.
@BenBrocka Ah okay, that's what I had imagined, but I didn't know the right term for it.
@GraceNote I only got about 20 minutes of play in last night, wherein my wife saw the game for the first time and incessantly mocked the female character design.
@Sterno Wait until she sees you at the Forgotten Sanctuary.
But then I ordered a 2nd PS3 controller so she can play too
How long does it take to unlock multiplayer in DC?
14:21
Online multiplayer requires you to have access to all dungeons. Couch co-op is available at the start.
I would note that online multiplayer is beyond unnecessary for the period before you unlock it.
@GraceNote Augh what
Do I at least unlock it for all characters at that point so I can start a new character and be online?
Let me frame this, it probably won't do much to calm you on the matter but it'll at least note why it is designed as such.
At the start, you only visit one dungeon at a time, primarily to satisfy story objectives and return back to town to visit all places and spend some amount of time before advancing to the next actual dungeon you work on. A dungeon at this stage, because every single enemy and boss is at anywhere between 1/8-1/2 their actual potency for even their lowest level incarnation, takes maybe 7-12 minutes to clear.
After you get past this portion of the game, everything ramps up to their proper strength for the difficulty level you are on, and you also have the option to continue from one dungeon onto the next to accrue bonus multipliers and get better loots and, the most relevant point, spend more time actually dungeoning with people at once. It is at this stage that you get to do online because prior to this stage, you probably spend half or more of your time not with people online.
@Ullallulloo You read The Abominable Charles Christopher? :D

Q: What do I do after powering up the trams?

Aviral SinghI am playing Max Payne 3 on my laptop. It took me three days to complete the game, but I'm stuck at last part, and can't figure out what to do next. I've already powered the trams to get them working, and killed the UFE's that reached to me through those same trams. What am I supposed to do ne...

Q: I can't dig certain materials in Minecraft

Natan KhodorkovskyI've been playing the game for a little while already, and this hasn't happened until now. Suddenly, I can't dig certain blocks like sand, dirt, gravel, cobblestone, bookshelves, and cacti. I can, however, dig through leaves with a sword equipped. Any suggestions?

Q: how can i connect to a minecraft server where i have to use a .jar version of minecraft because of school blocks

n24oahok my problem is that i have to use a .jar version of minecraft that uses a different destination folder than %appdata% and i can't connect to any minecraft servers in school and in study hall i would like to play in those servers i like and pass the time by quicker. any help on this would be mos...

@GraceNote But is that per character or something you only have to do once in the whole game?
@RedRiderX Yes
Now, I haven't done any actual netplay, so I have no idea what it is like to setup a connection with people, organize who is what player, and all the associated jazz, but to do that to get barely 10 minutes of dungeon action, only to disband and wait an equal amount of time of story before going through the whole rigamarole all over again, I expect that's so bothersome is why it is designed such.
Since whenever someone linked in here like a month ago.
The party breaks up between every dungeon?
14:30
@BenBrocka Each character you create has to go through most of the ropes as a whole. It will skip the resurrection and equipment repair tutorials but everything else is there at your discretion.
@BenBrocka The party breaks up if you return to town.
That kinda makes me not want it
Or at least I assume as much because it only gives you the option to go online for partying when you're at the exit of town to go into a dungeon.
@BenBrocka To a point, I don't fully mind it because this "early-game" stage is both a means to actually get a brand new character to a serviceable level, and also learn the ropes of using that character in every dungeon, nevermind try out skills. You'll have accumulated fine loot as you journey that basically makes the process a cakewalk with new characters for the most part.
I was reading backlog and now I really want to watch Clue. =(
@Fluttershy You've never seen it?
Think of it like the pre-30 levels of Diablo II, wherein you slough through four acts going "Agh" for several days, compared to about 3 hours of work to reach an equivalent point here.
14:38
@Ullallulloo I see.
I remember binging out on it around the same time.
The later stuff seems a bit hit and miss, though.
@GraceNote Sounds like one of various reasons I never actually played Diablo
@OrigamiRobot If I'd never seen it, how would I have known Sterno's picture was from it? =P It is one of my favorite movies! I made @FAE watch it when she was here.
@Fluttershy I don't even know what picture you're talking about.
@OrigamiRobot This one.
In other news, it's 2-for-1 weekend at the theater here. Starting tomorrow, I believe... I'm sad I am going to be working.
@Fluttershy Have I told you lately that you're the most awesome of all the bridge ponies?

Q: Frequent short freezes in games and videos

MonsieurPoivronI recently acquired an SSD drive and did a fresh install of Windows 7 on it. Now, when playing games or watching videos, I get frequent (every 2-3 minutes) freezes which last a few seconds or less. They are accompanied by a buzzing sound. While researching the issue, I've found many suggestions...

Steam is apparently "Impossible"
> If you contact Steam support, they will most likely tell you just to not use the account. If your account has no games on it, it will be disabled after a while.
Deleting your steam account seems...unwise
Valve is dumb
> Delete steam account
> "WHERE ARE MY GAMES VALVE RAWWRRGG"
I wish you could rename them properly though
14:49
@BenBrocka Why would anyone do that?
Stackoverflow:
> If you haven't posted on the site, it's just one click. Otherwise, edit your 'About Me' bio to say 'please delete me' then contact support.
@Wipqozn You have not. Any particular reason?
@kalina Agreed with that. Though the original game isn't visible anywhere, you just have to log in with the old one
Also, @kalina, hullo again!
@Fluttershy If I say it too much it loses meaning.
@Fluttershy is the most awesome bridge pony.
14:50
@Fluttershy o/
@Wipqozn Careful, @PrivatePansy might get jealous!
@GnomeSlice stackexchange is listed as hard? It felt pretty easy to me
@fbueckert It's sort of the same character. Sort of.
@kalina You had to contact customer support though.
Also, welcome back. How do you still have your rep?
In a round about way, it was more like a form on a webpage with a submit button
It's not like I needed to open an email client
14:52
@PrivatePansy I wouldn't know.
I equate all ponies as one and the same.
Yeah they just define "hard" as "you have to contact a human"
Assuming Stack Exchange employs humans
5
@BenBrocka That makes it hard in my book.
@OrigamiRobot Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Steam fails that one.
They got 'impossible'
@fbueckert If all the small horses are one and the same, wouldn't you be asking if I'm jealous of myself? Actually that doesn't really make much sense either
14:55
Origin only ended up with 'Hard'
@GnomeSlice I would still only classify it as "medium" at most
@OrigamiRobot Silly Youtube link.
@kalina Was yours actually fully deleted though?
You got to keep your rep.
@fbueckert The best pony is Lil' Sebastian.
Also, for the web developers here: onmobile.iwanttouse.com
14:56
...EA is still selling Spore for $9.
@OrigamiRobot The crab?
I am greatly saddened by this fact.
@GnomeSlice anonymisation isn't as anonymous as they claim
@kalina So it would seem.
Well, welcome back at any rate.
@GnomeSlice No, he is not lil
14:57
@OrigamiRobot He's a crab, he's tiny.
@GnomeSlice Yea, but he is not lil
The profile is hard-deleted as far as I know, but the posts get a user1234 as owner where the number is unique. So they can reassociate posts with a deleted user if they have to. Stuff like certain badges, profile information or so is permanently lost.
@MadScientist this, the old user id is stored in a text field and so everything can be reattached to a new account (hence why my user id has changed)
but review queue history, most edits, certain badges, site daily activity etc is all gone
You can save $10 on The Bureau already, if you want.
@OrigamiRobot imagenotfound
403
@OrigamiRobot Why are you showing me a picture of a horse with a large blurred penis.
5
15:00
@GnomeSlice You can wait 5 seconds for me to fix it.
@OrigamiRobot I was just letting you know.
Oh god I didn't know it was that picture...
@GnomeSlice I go away for 5 minutes to write an email and this is what I come back to?
I wonder if it will be free on Steam too.
15:01
@GnomeSlice Hasn't it been on Desura for a long time?
@GnomeSlice From now on I will instantly point out any grammar/spelling errors you make. It's helpful, right?
Yep, June 28, 2012.
@PrivatePansy You sound surprised. Why's that?
@Ullallulloo I don't think so, actually.
@Ullallulloo Oh, maybe actually.
@OrigamiRobot Why are you so hostile about this, often when someone links a bad image it looks fine to them.
I wasn't sure if you were aware it was borked.
Sorry for trying to help.
15:07
Warcraft movie is go? I can't help but think this is a terrible idea.
@GnomeSlice Right, so wait to see instead of instantly jumping on it.
@OrigamiRobot I wasn't 'jumping on it', I just wanted to let you know.
@GnomeSlice There was zero time between my image and your message. That is jumping on it.
@OrigamiRobot There was like 5 seconds
Anyway, sorry if I upset you.
Wasn't trying to be a jerk.
15:10
@GnomeSlice I assumed he was showing you that there are indeed male ponies.
I don't think you were the one that asked if there were though...
I think that was the creepy old man, @Sterno.
That was a pretty hilarious picture to pick.
@skovacs1 That's been on again and off again for years.
The dick was bigger than the horse
@kalina you enjoyed the new Pretty Lights album right?
@fbueckert I don't think they'd gotten this far into production scheduling before though.
15:13
Every single Paradox game except EU4 to be in Humble Bundle dropping shortly.
here's the one I was looking for.

Q: Localhosting WoW

DCA-I apologise if this is a daft question. I have been playing World of warcraft for a while (paid account, all legit) and my internet connection is sketchy at the best of times After fully downloading the game, is it possible to either play offline or localhost a server so I won't need to connect...

Also there's a new IndieRoyale Bundle but it seems kind of lame.
CC @Ullallulloo
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I saw that. Nothing too interesting in it.
@GnomeSlice yeah it was nice, listened to it a few times on soundcloud but didn't buy it
15:15
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME
@kalina It's free, but yeah, okay thought so. I recommend wonderyears1.bandcamp.com/album/nowhere-but-up
Lots of similarities
@GnomeSlice Most of the IndieRoyale bundles are kinda... meh. =\
@Fluttershy Some of them are quite good
@StrixVaria ... wat? A curly brace?
@GnomeSlice I haven't seen one yet!
15:17
Anyone else interested in the Wonderful 101?
It looks pretty cool.
@fbueckert Let me check!
@Fluttershy Wii U. September...15th? I think?
@Fluttershy Really?
@fbueckert Nope! I've zero interest in the Wii U until it's considerably cheaper.
@Fluttershy They're dropping the price by $50 in a few weeks!
15:19
@GnomeSlice I can't see any of the games in that.
@fbueckert Not cheap enough.
@Fluttershy Fair enough.
@Fluttershy Unmechanical, The Path, Krater, Sugarcube, OIO, St. Chicken
Unmechanical, Krater, OIO are all very good
Unmechanical is good. I still haven't played Krater though. And never heard of OIO.
@Ullallulloo Yeah I just realized that was my private link.
I remember hearing that it apparently had a lot of penis imagery but I think that was just people making fun of the name
15:21
@Fluttershy I feel ya here in that I feel the issue is one of cost/value, but I think if they released some solid content that could justify even this new cheaper expense, it wouldn't seem overpriced.
@Fluttershy Krater is amazing
There's not really any bundle where it's all good games, but there's often one at a good value.
@skovacs1 Agreed. But there's currently only like... Two games I'm interested in.
@Fluttershy same. I'm waiting for X and a few other things. I feel they should make the cost feel justified.
@OrigamiRobot Every once in a while I completely forget how to make links in chat even though I do it every day.
15:25
@StrixVaria (text)[link} is definitely not the format.
Always [text](link)
@OrigamiRobot I panicked after I failed once.
[url=link]text[/url]
@Fluttershy Which ones, out of curiosity?
Oh, hey. Chroma Squad got greenlit.
So looking forward to that game.
Is there no chat markup doc anywhere? If not, why isn't there such a thing? If so, link please?
15:33
@skovacs1 click help in the bottom right corner
@skovacs1 Click "help" at the bottom of the page.
Unless you're in mobile chat, then you're doomed

24 hours ago, by GnomeSlice
@fbueckert also Chroma Squad got the Greenlight.
@OrigamiRobot Silly robot, linking chat messages he knows I couldn't see originally.
15:34
@fbueckert I am aware.
The list of games that got greenlit is actually amazing.
That one did too
@FEichinger Weird, it doesn't mention >
`Yes. We expect community members to treat each other with respect … even when they don't deserve it.`
Love this bit.
@skovacs1 That one's hard to remember sometimes.
@fbueckert It's so funny that you say this.
Aug 20 at 18:29, by OrigamiRobot
@GnomeSlice HE CAN'T SEE YOU PLEASE STOP
15:41
@OrigamiRobot Show me where this is a rule.
I shouldn't have to change what I'm doing just because he ignored me.
That's his problem, not mine.
Aug 20 at 18:30, by OrigamiRobot
@GnomeSlice YOU ARE LIKE SOMEONE YELLING AT THE CHARACTERS ON TV. IT'S ANNOYING. YOU ARE JUST FILLING CHAT WITH USELESS MESSAGES.
@OrigamiRobot Better ignore me.
@OrigamiRobot There is a certain irony here.
@GnomeSlice OK
@OrigamiRobot =[
15:42
@JasonBerkan this.
Bye @OrigamiRobot... I was joking though.
;_;
@GnomeSlice We never said it was a rule.
We just said it was annoying.
Why is it more annoying than before I was blocked? The messages are the same.
LIKE THERE'S NO RULE THAT SAYS I CAN'T TALK IN ALL CAPPS ALL THE TIME, BUT IT'S JUST ANNOYING IF I DO
If it didn't annoy you then it shouldn't now.
15:49
@GnomeSlice Do you know what context is?
@Wipqozn "I can do what I want because there is no rule against it" makes it more annoying
@GnomeSlice IT'S ANNOYING IN THE SAME WAY THAT PEOPLE POINTING OUT THEY'VE IGNORED YOU IS ANNOYING
@RonanForman Yes. Irrelevant.
If @fbueckert hadn't pointed out that he had ignored me, would it still be annoying? Because you guys wouldn't know.
@GnomeSlice NO, BECAUSE CONTEXT IS IMPORTANT.
No it isn't.
15:50
@GnomeSlice NOW YOU'RE JUST BEING STUBBORN
@OrigamiRobot Did you actually ignore me?
=[
@GnomeSlice That's not for you to decide. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
> 3yo freezies
@GnomeSlice YOU DID TELL HIM TO IGNORE YOU
...did I miss something?
Aside from the current drama
15:51
I'm not going to change my behaviour just because someone else ignored me.
To please everyone else.
YOU PROBABLY HURT HIS ROBOTIC FEELINGS
@GnomeSlice So you'll never change your behaviour to please others or just in this case?
@RonanForman Just in this case.
I see no reason that someone else ignoring me should mean I have to do something different.
I didn't ignore me. @fbueckert did.
@GnomeSlice Well maybe think about why they ignored you then.
@RonanForman He doesn't like arguing with me.
Well no that's a lie, he loves arguing with me.
He doesn't like it when he can't convince me he's right.
15:53
@GnomeSlice YOU SHOULD TRY IGNORING YOURSELF SOMETIME. COULD MAKE FOR INTERESTING CONVERSATIONS WHEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO PEOPLE SINCE YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO PEOPLE.
@Wipqozn Is that even possible?
Nope, just checked.
@GnomeSlice only with Doublethink
@GnomeSlice NO. YOU SHOULD PROBABLY MAKE A FEATURE REQUEST.
@Sconibulus I don't know what that is
@Wipqozn That's just silly
@GnomeSlice And now I am saddened about the schools in our country.
15:54
@GnomeSlice NO MORE SILLY THAN TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO CAN'T HEAR YOU
@JasonBerkan Which country is that?
@JasonBerkan Agreed, presuming we share a country
@GnomeSlice Ours - did you not read 1984?
@GnomeSlice THE COUNTRY WE LIVE IN. CANADA.
Need more drama
15:55
@JasonBerkan THAT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE NOVELS.
@JasonBerkan I read Animal Farm.
A large number of us are from Canada, surprisingly.
I think the other class read 1984 maybe.
@JasonBerkan THAT'S BECAUSE CANADA IS BEST ANADA.
@Wipqozn You should also start talking to people who are never in chat like @MatthewReed. Who cares if he will never see it, don't let that change who you are.
15:55
AND NO, THAT WASN'T A TYPO.
-15
Q: ಠ_ಠ button for chat

GnomeSliceI think this would be really useful. There's a Chrome plugin that provides some great functionality, but sometimes you just need to break out a disapproving look immediately in another browser, and I think SE chat needs to support this. Can we have a ಠ_ಠ button please?

15 people should be banned
@GnomeSlice I DOWNVOTED THAT SO HARD.
@Wipqozn You should be banned.
It's much more than 15 people
@OrigamiRobot HE'S A MOD SO HE'LL ACTUALLY SEE THOSE PINGS. THAT'LL BE FUNNY.
15:56
@GnomeSlice Animal farm is a lot worse than 1984
@GnomeSlice It's like you hate your Meta.SO rep
@Wipqozn Oh? Where is he a mod?
at least, I thought so
@Sconibulus I found it kind of hard to read, the characters were retarded.
@OrigamiRobot ANDROID I THINK?
15:56
Neat.
@OrigamiRobot I reply to @fbueckert because other people can see the context of what I'm replying to.
HE'S ANOTHER CANADIAN.
ONE DAY CANADIANS WILL RULE THE WORLD.
Like if he posts a game and I comment on the game.
Pretty sure mods still only get pings if we're in chat recently
15:57
I reply to the mesage so people know what it is.
@Wipqozn :O Double mod?
@GnomeSlice Well it's fine in those cases, but that's not what you're doing.
@GnomeSlice SURE, THERE ARE TIMES WHERE IT MAKES SENSE TO REPLY TO HIM, BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE IN 90% OF THE TIMES YOU REPLY TO HIM.
@Wipqozn Canada is only anada.
Can you guys stop telling me what to do
15:58
@GnomeSlice ಠ_ಠ
I HAVE THE SCRIPT WORKING
@GnomeSlice WE'RE GIVING YOU ADVICE. WE'RE TRYING TO BE HELPFUL.
People don't mind when one replies to lasers, but they do when one tries to talk to it.
@GnomeSlice Why do you want to be treated specially? We tell everyone what to do.
@Sterno I don't tell people what to do.
...Except when I do.
er
I try not to.
@BenBrocka have you heard of Shelter?
