Q: how to update a game if the update was messed up?

I had just recently downloaded the new update for grand theft auto 5 but at tge end when it was restarting the piwer went out and I think the update was messed up. Its not letting me play gta online like the update was suppose to. Is their a way to re-do a update?

xbox-360

Blem

@PrivatePansy that is a bit depressing to start the morning off on, I would have prefered a bread machine

@PrivatePansy so in other words if the damage isn't big enough then destroy it a bit more and it is someone elses problem!

Arperum

@Blem Just start taking it apart for an hour, then declare that it is too much work and let the now really broken and partly disassembled truck be taken away from you.

Blem

07:19

I am lazy sometimes, but nothing like this postal worker

►

5pike

@Blem Mhh...the bit of exercise would do her good...

Blem

Started playing Star Command yesterday, that game alone makes the humble mobile bundle 2 worth it

I have also wasted a lot of time on the Bloons TD5

5pike

@Blem Oh, there's an update for it. I hope it fixes the save issue

Blem

and punch quest

I had no problems with saves in version 1.1

5pike

@Blem I just hope the update fixes it. I really want to play further than the tutorial.

Blem

07:33

I got to the 2nd solar system without any problems

5pike

@Blem The saves just don't work for me. I try to click it, but it simply doesn't save.

Blem

I saved and reloaded a couple of times

5pike

Could be issues with the phone...

Blem

when the guy wanted to teleport over and talk and blew up my ship i decided to reload and choose not to trust him, lost 2 crew members in the explosion

5pike

@Blem SPOILERS!!!

Arperum

07:35

At least there is no such thing as spoilers for bloons TD5 :p

5pike

Well, I'd have reloaded as well..

@Arperum Or punch quest

Arperum

I played bloons TD insert multiple numbers on pc, is the mobile version any good?

Blem

I would like to know if your choice have affects on the story in the game or just for that one encounders

5pike

@Arperum Pretty good, yes.

Bought the bundle for a cent. Money well spent.

Arperum

@5pike My phone probably can't play it though. And I'm not really in the situation of spending a lot of money on a new phone.

5pike

07:38

@Arperum I see

Blem

the BTA games are not that great, carmageddon is fun, but I would prefer playing it on my pc

5pike

@Blem I still got the 3 extra games...

Arperum

@5pike I bought Civ V with everything on it sunday for my girlfriend, and then 4 books were bought too.

5pike

Now I can QWOP through my break...

Blem

@Arperum you should pay the 1c, you will get a new phone one day and you will have some great games to play

Arperum

07:39

@Blem Is it still available?

Blem

yea

5pike

@Arperum Yes

Blem

1d 10h more

5pike

1 cent - 4 games

Blem

Time surfer is ok, but I suck at it, I guess it would be good if I was able to play it :)

badp

07:42

Time surfer's kind of fun, definitely the best title of the bundle

it's jetpack joyride, but slightly more skillful

Arperum

Time surfer is compatible with my device, the other three aren't. Someone remind me about this bundle this evening please :)

5pike

@Arperum Stick a post-it on your phone.

Arperum

I'm honestly surprised that there is a single one compatible.

5pike

@Arperum What phone do you have?

Arperum

@5pike Some phone I got from work. (The previous phone of my boss...) A HTC desire.

Android 2.2.2 and it says there are no updates available.

Kevin van der Velden

07:50

Morning all

5pike

@KevinvanderVelden morning

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Morning

Blem

mornings @KevinvanderVelden

@Arperum HTC desire is a great phone with way to little internal storage

5pike

@Arperum Do you have to pay the monthly fee?

Arperum

@Blem There is some SD in it.

Blem

07:52

yea, but a lot of apps cant run on the SD

there is update available for it

Arperum

@5pike I have a subscription from work too. unlimited calls/sms/1GB mobile data.

@Blem Wikipedia says it should go to 2.3, but my phone says that 2.2.2 is fully up to date.

5pike

@Arperum So, do you have 2 subscriptions, or just 1?

Blem

but it is not automatically send out because there is not enough internal storage to make room for newer version of Android and keep all the standard apps (like facebook etc) you have to go to HTC site and download the update

Arperum

@5pike just one, I pay nothing for it.

3ventic

It's kind of cool when Google shows these little sub-links under your website's search result.

Arperum

07:54

@Blem I wouldn't mind blowing facebook off. Never use it anyway.

5pike

@Arperum Ok. Becuase if you had to pay for it, I'd have suggested you check your providers and search for a new contract + phone.

Arperum

@3ventic That's because your site structure is good for google.

3ventic

@Arperum Yay

Blem

@Arperum it looks like if you go CyanogenMod you can get 4.1.1

@Arperum if you want the offical update to 2.3 you can get it here

Arperum

@Blem Do you know if mail/exchange connection would still work?

Blem

08:04

@Arperum with CyanogenMod it would get wiped and would need to be set up again, I am not sure about with the official update, but my guess is it would be wiped and would need to be set up again

@Arperum here is an explanation on how to do it, they say it will do a factory rest so you would have to set up mail and exchange again

kalina

DAY 2 STATUS: STILL EMPLOYED (CURRENTLY)

5pike

@kalina Morning..

kalina

mmh

I allotted an entire 14 hours to sleep lastnight, and slept for 8 of them

Blem

@kalina what did you do the last 6?

kalina

seemingly rearranged my bedroom

Blem

08:18

@kalina where are you working?

kalina

a building with stuff in it

Blem

I am just thinking if it is a place where you can work without getting fired, then just think how safe it would be for the rest of us to work there!

kalina

...

how insulting

badp

@kalina you changed jobs?

kalina

no

I came back from holiday to find an entire world of pain occurred in my absence and that I'm apparently taking the blame for all of it

Kevin van der Velden

08:25

@kalina I read =[ Been able to find some proof that it wasn't your fault yet?

Blem

@kalina yea, but you know it is true!

fredley

@kalina Solution: go on holiday again

Take a sabbatical

Martin Sojka

08:41

@kalina Ah, so you're not a farmer. This narrows it down a bit.

Arperum

@MartinSojka No proof anymore these days.

There are farms where nearly everything is automated.

Martin Sojka

BTW, you guys know who the Pastafarians are, right?

5pike

@MartinSojka Yes

fredley

@MartinSojka Yes

Martin Sojka

One of them, Niko Alm, just got a seat in the Austrian parliament.

Kevin van der Velden

08:45

@MartinSojka I feel like I should say no to break the combo, but yes

5pike

@MartinSojka Sweet

Kevin van der Velden

Huh, the english wikipedia doesn't have a page on him yet =/

Martin Sojka

That guy.

fredley

@MartinSojka Oh him

Awesome

Martin Sojka

In case you don't see it, that's a pasta strainer on his head on the official driver's licence. He won the right to do that under the "freedom of religion" laws. :D

5pike

08:48

@MartinSojka Oh yeah, I read about it.

fredley

It's seriously called a Führerschein?

I mean, that is literally Hitler

5pike

@fredley Every Austrian and German gehts a Führerschein xD

But only for vehicles, not countries.

fredley

Wait wait wait

Let me get this straight

Martin Sojka

@fredley "Führer" means "leader" or "guide", and since that's a licence to guide a vehicle ...

fredley

A drivers' license is called a Hitler Certificate??

@MartinSojka Nope, still reads as Hitler Certificate to me

5pike

08:53

@fredley We have the best driver licences

fredley

@5pike In what way?

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley well, you are clearly wrong, also a porkchop.

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Why is Bridge suddenly full of Germanic people?

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley Stealth

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Creeping invasion

Kevin van der Velden

08:54

We sneak up on you when you don't notice it, and then it's suddenly to late

5pike

@fredley Because it makes people from other countries freak out, that's why.

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley I think you and kalina may be the only people currently on the bridge who's native language isn't a germanic language =/

Martin Sojka

English is a Germanic language ...

fredley

@MartinSojka English is an everything language

It's got as much French as Latin as Germanic as pretty much everything else

5pike

@fredley Like every germanic language....

Martin Sojka

08:57

@fredley I like to call it the heap dump method of language evolution, even though it wrongly implies there was a method behind the madness.

fredley

@5pike Europe: The result of mixing together the same linguistic ingredients 50 different ways

@MartinSojka The method was mostly swords, then garnished with guns

Blem

@fredley And then theres finnish...

fredley

@Blem And then there's Hungarian

Mad Scientist

@fredley CEO is Geschäftsführer in german, and there are more example where it is commonly used

Arperum

@Blem Finnish is different because they no-one wanted them, and those who decided to try anyway ran back to mommy screaming >_>

Blem

09:04

One of the insurance agencies that integrate to us(in Denmark) is called Zürich, they got base in Ireland and there IT department that contacts us is in Sweden

Arperum

@Blem Because confusion is good?

5pike

SPAM

Arperum

@5pike I cannot burn it. For is it gone.

5pike

@Arperum That means that the deed is already done.

Blem

09:27

is 9*7*8*0*4*4*4*9*9*4 an indian phone number in Chandigarh?

5pike

@Blem I have no idea, but it seems like it.

Seems like this guy/bot also spammed other sites.

Q: How do I know if I can put the crewemblem on my clothing before I buy it?

As you know, in GTA V - Online there are Crews and each Crew can create it's own emblem. I think its quite cool that u can "place" the emblem on your shirt/coat/sweater - whatever top wear - on the front or on the back but it doesn't work for "every" (only top) wear. The menu point where I can "b...

Arperum

09:45

These policemen are having quite the bad day there...

Martin Sojka

10:14

@Arperum At least it's just fire extinguishing foam, right?

Arperum

@MartinSojka I'd assume so, it was a protest of firemen.

fredley

A water cannon fight between fire fighters and police would be fun.

Fire fighters are actually pretty well equipped to deal with police weapons: Tear gas? Gas masks. Water cannon? Bigger water cannon.

5pike

@fredley As long as it's non-lethal, yes.

fredley

@5pike If you've got police containing a riot with lethal weapons you have a problem

5pike

@fredley Indeed

Kevin van der Velden

10:23

@fredley they have lethal weapons for riot control, it's just likely they can use them (rubber bullets, tazers) without killing someone

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden These weapons are usually referred to as non-lethal, which they are in the majority of cases

By lethal I'm assuming you get the armed police in to shoot metal bullets

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley they're referred to by several names =p Less lethal is one I prefer because with non lethal you're saying it won't happen, less lethal you're saying that it can be avoided

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Fair enough

Kevin van der Velden

Regarding rubber bullets: In a study of injuries in 90 patients injured by rubber bullets, one died, 17 suffered permanent disabilities or deformities and 41 required hospital treatment after being fired upon with rubber bullets. www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/112190390/abstract

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah. Rubber bullets are at the lethal end of 'non-lethal'

I would not like to be shot with them

Also rubber is a really misleading term for what they are made of

Kevin van der Velden

10:39

@fredley they're metal bullets with a bit of coating =p

5pike

They could use airsoft guns, and spray them with BBs...

Journeyman Geek

or bean bag guns

5pike

@JourneymanGeek Bean bags are almost on the same level as rubber bullets.

Journeyman Geek

@5pike: fine. High velocity marshmellows

Kevin van der Velden

@JourneymanGeek I would approve of this

5pike

10:44

@JourneymanGeek Delicious, but painful. APPROVED!!

Journeyman Geek

though, if the protesters had crackers, and chocolate, they'd want s'more.

fredley

Pain ray?

Journeyman Geek

lol

sticks?

(though out here, when the WTO INSISTED they allow peaceful protests, they let them do it... in a conference hall foyer. Which would have made tear gas VERY effective)

5pike

@JourneymanGeek Tear gas in a closed room? Are they nuts?

Journeyman Geek

@5pike: apparently the protesters were very well behaved

singapore dosen't like protesting.

Kevin van der Velden

10:47

@5pike casually spraying military grade tear gas at point blank range still beats it =p

Journeyman Geek

lol

I've been teargased before

in a closed room. NOT fun

wasn't the proper stuff tho

kalina

11:12

I can't say I've ever been tear gassed

Journeyman Geek

You shouldn't shed tears over that

I had that done to me in the military

Ronan Forman

@JourneymanGeek badum tish

Arperum

@JourneymanGeek So @privatepansy knows what to expect now?

Journeyman Geek

@Arperum: heh, I used to work in an MT line ;p

and my unit apparently decided to volunteer me for chemical defence training.

so, possible, if he dosen't have asma

kalina

11:31

asthma, amirite?

Journeyman Geek

yeah

that

kalina

rhetorical, I knew I was right

cute guy is drilling a door frame behind me, as if I didn't have enough distractions to keep me from work today

Ronan Forman

@kalina Sorry, I'll stop.

kalina

@RonanForman hah

Martin Sojka

Interestingly, this Asma also has something to do with chemical weapons ...

LessPop_MoreFizz

11:40

@kalina It's highly unpleasant.

Journeyman Geek

its like everything's on fire

and they apparently have the biggest guy they can find standing outside so you don't claw your own eyes out

5pike

Sounds like jolly good fun...

kalina

"its like everything's on fire" sounds like the sort of weapon I'd deploy

fredley

@LessPop_MoreFizz You have?

Journeyman Geek

@kalina: feels like, not actually

Wipqozn

11:49

Microsoft actually wants to sell Kinect data

Journeyman Geek

I'd think wiley pete or napalm would be more your thing

Wipqozn

Every new piece of news about the XBONE makes me want it less and less.

Journeyman Geek

lol

I'm more interested in the steamboxen

5pike

@Wipqozn You actually wanted one in the first place?

Martin Sojka

@JourneymanGeek Those seem to be PCs with a custom Linux distro. "Interesting" from a technical point of view, sure, but aside from "can I start an SSH service on it and log on to a root shell" not really anything revolutionary new.

Journeyman Geek

11:58

@MartinSojka: precisely cause of that

I kinda like the idea of actually upgradable consoles.

5pike

@JourneymanGeek Console developers don't.
