Q: Skyrim and draugr queries

JamesAs draugr have a purpose: to defend their dragon priest masters, why are they mostly found defending a tomb with no dragon priest in it? Apart from a draugr overlord boss battle at the end depending on which tomb you go to. Did the overlords have the same power status over the draugr as the prie...

@BenBrocka WHAT HAS MITTENS BEEN KEEPING FROM ME???
Where it buried the bodies
user15026
@BenBrocka looks at Norbert sideways, hides all teh knives just in case
16:18
The way the cat in that photo is licking its chops is sort of creepy I will admit
@AshleyNunn My cat's too crazy to go for knives.
@KevinvanderVelden cats are actually very proud of the bodies
@BenBrocka he says NO PINS! like he was talking about EXPLOHSIONS
@BenBrocka I think it's more them trying to teach us how to hunt
I WOULD PLAY A SPORTS GAME NARRATED BY MR TORGUE
@badp We need more Torgue DLC.
16:20
@BenBrocka that's just a ruse, bring the bodies of small animals to make the humans think they're appetite for murder is sated. But everyone knows a cat's appetite for murder can never be sated.
@Frank I'm midway through that
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden My cat has only ever murdered one thing
@BenBrocka TORGUE'S WII SPLOHSIONS RESORT
@AshleyNunn that you know of =p
16:21
I see they're taking the Saint's Row route
@PanicBomb Opposable thumbs
@BenBrocka before the flood ruined them, we used to have a shelf full of Reader's Digest going back to the 60s or 70s. The quality's really declined since then.
@GraceNote oh god we're boned
user15026
@TrentHawkins My mom still gets a subscription, and it makes me laugh because it is 90% "things we stole from the internet"...it's weird seeing them use TUmblr as a source.
@AshleyNunn Really? Huh. My grandma cancelled her subscription in 2011 or so because they kept increasing the rate and delivering less with each issue.
16:24
@BenBrocka Is that the official art?
@Fluttershy I dunno if it's the box art, but it's the first look at the game: blog.us.playstation.com/2014/05/15/…
Not sure if Phallic Cry was considered.... http://t.co/JgbvwFv7BZ
presumably that's the bad guy
It definitely seems like they're blurring the line between Far Cry and the Blood Dragon sensibility
Which I am OKAY WITH
@BenBrocka Suddenly, Anthony Burch is making sense with his last tweet.

Q: I need someone's opinion

MTAanddrop2299Out of all 4 snipers on Black Ops 2, which would be the best? 1. SVU-AS 2. DSR 50 3. Ballista 4. XPR-50. Thank you if you can answer this for me.

Q: In what order do weapons fire?

SandokanIf I have three weapons fully charged, pause the game and set them to target specific systems and then unpause, do the fire in the order I marked my targets? The reason I'm asking is that it can be rather crucial when taking down shields. I want weapon 1 to take down the shield and weapons 2 and...

Also, it still makes me laugh when I think about how 343 Studios talked about Halo 5 recently. They said they were considering making it an open-world game, since that's something that's never been done with first-person shooters. <_<
@Fluttershy I get a bit more "rich douchebag" vibe than "lol gay villain" but it's certainly an unfortunate possibility
@Fluttershy man open world is the future. Who needs game design when you can just sprinkle a bunch of the same assets around a really big map and hide shit and people play it for like 80 hours
It kills me to see people insisting any new sequel to a game needs to be open world
@BenBrocka I just thought it was funny, because apparently whoever made the statement had never heard of Far Cry. Or... I guess Dead Island counts?
user15026
@TrentHawkins Yeah, my mom still gets it.
user15026
Its weird.
16:30
@BenBrocka Hopefully it's the former. I could be reading too much into the rainbow smoke in the background there, since it just felt so... out of place. Game Theory did a really good video on LGBT depiction in games, and I'm hoping Far Cry 4 doesn't get added to its list.
@Fluttershy which reminds me, I could give Planetside 2 another try now.
Also, I hate how Game Theory and Idea Channel are so similar in setup and presentation
On the other hand, didn't Far Cry 3 totally not handle it's "serious themes" well? I havent' played it
...provided I'm talking about the youtube channel I'm thinking about
Perhaps I'm giving them too much credit because it reminds me of Saints Row which is ridiculous for the sake of being ridiculous
@BenBrocka It rode the line between "serious" and "goofy" pretty evenly I felt like
16:33
@BenBrocka I haven't played it much myself. I did the first two or three missions, then I got stuck wandering the gorgeous environment. >_>
Seriously... The game is beautiful.
@agent86 Finally, I'll never have to take my phone out of my pocket to kinda almost use it again
@BenBrocka it had serious themes? it was pretty much a bro-fist bro-mageddon of bro-ness
-1 not enough dude
like, I guess there are some exploited people? but it doesn't matter, cause a white dude is totally the chosen one and he's going to probably get high and almost certainly use explosions to fix everything.
user15026
16:38
@agent86 what.
plus we're going to hunt rare animals to extinction so we can carry more bullets.
I feel like it tried to be serious, and maybe succeeded, but... Eh
buying a "backpack?" WTF IS THIS??? I NEED THE RAREST WHITE TIGER SKIN IN EXISTENCE TO CARRY MY "herbs" yo
I dunno, there's a scene where you torch some pot fields and a Skrillex reggae remix starts playing
I think playing Blood Dragon first ruined any possibility of me taking it seriously.
@BenBrocka yesss
CUSTOMER PRIVACY RIGHTS EMPOWERMENT CHOICE MONETIZATION
there's seriously a part where a topless woman has sex with you. I think there's two of them. like not even god of war "we'll heavily imply the sex is happening and maybe show a nipple" but like full-on POV sex scene.
Okay, yeah... that did happen...
So it wasn't me playing Blood Dragon first then.
OH MAN I forgot that that game opens with an Alice in Wonderland quote
the game itself was actually pretty fun. but any kind of "story" or "message" is pretty much aimed squarely at the CoD-bro-crowd
16:42
I dunno I jsut heard lots about failed attempts at satire
@BenBrocka Yeah I remember the author going on record about it being TOTALLY SERIOUS as a "subversion" of the obvious tropes it was using or whatever
blood dragon didn't take itself at all seriously, and was actually pretty good start to finish, imho
I dunno, the story was bad. The game was great, but the story was the absolute last reason to enjoy it
that one poked some effective fun at a lot of video game tropes.
My favorite thing about Blood Dragon was the ability to flip people off. :P
16:43
The only thing I didn't like about Blood Dragon was the fact that I felt like they tried to make a character like GLaDOS but failed to make her actually funny

Q: red border around screen

DamekSo I was playing ARAM last night, and I got a red border around my screen. i couldn't move my screen with my mouse anymore. And I had to play with a locked camere for the rest of the game. How did I get this border? And more importantly, how do I get rid of the red border? Thx

I enjoyed Blood Dragon, and I've been enjoying Far Cry 3 (haven't finished it), but they fall about the same on the "serious" spectrum, despite the latter's attempts to have a semblance of serious.
like FC3 opens with bros on a spring break summer adventure being d-bags to everyone, then shit gets real, but the bros keep on bein' bros. he has a bunch of drug fueled flashbacks to when he was bro'ing it up with his bro's and his bro's bros prior to the realness of the shit
blood dragon is like a love letter to 80's neon cyber action movies
Apparently someone hacked the living shit out of XY and found this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlmWCoyp234
it's like if the (US) cover art to the first mega man game was actually representative of the game
16:45
shudder
weird android guy with a funky gun goes to lazerville and blows shit up
plus DINOSAURS THAT EAT PEOPLE AND STUFF
@BenBrocka "Either choose this plan where we analyze your internet usage, or choose this more expensive plan where we do the same thing in secret"
@agent86 The ending sequence of Blood Dragon was fantastic
@Unionhawk yeah. that's what I'm talkin bout.
that game is worth $5, imho.

Q: Turning on my Playstation 3

MTAanddrop2299I just tried to turn on my PS3 and for some reason when I turned it on, it automatically turns back off, I have tried to turn it on 4 times now and it is doing the same thing. Note: while I was playing Black Ops 2, the map "Hijacked" was loading and it just completely froze while it was loading.

Fuck everything.
I seriously hate fucking everything right now.
Every single person against net neutrality is a fucking abomination of a human being.
No one could possibly see net neutrality as a bad thing except someone who has money coming into their pockets and likes their own personal wealth over the betterment of humanity.
Every single person who voted against net neutrality should die in a fucking fire.
The world would be a better place.
@StrixVaria are you serious? Have you read the wording of it? It should be a good thing, but it has been so warped it's going to be a nightmare!
user15026
Fuck me sideways. This is a fucked up pile of shit.
user15026
Net neutrality should never be fucking questioned.
I agree with the principle, absolutely
but people have buggered it
17:18
I've never been able to come up with a clear visual on what "fuck me sideways" would actually entail.
user15026
> The proposal is not a final rule, but the vote on Thursday is a significant step forward on a controversial idea that has invited fierce opposition from consumer advocates, Silicon Valley heavyweights, and Democratic lawmakers. The FCC will now open the proposal to a total 120 days of public comment. Final rules, aimed for the end of the year, could be rewritten after the agency reviews the public comments.
@RoryAlsop So killing it altogether is a better approach? Fuck no.
@StrixVaria I never said that
Then what the fuck are you saying?
user15026
@RoryAlsop That doesn't mean doing something like this is even remotely a good fucking idea.
17:19
@Sterno I'd post a picture, but it'd be NSFW. :P
@Sterno Loads of pain, and the extra creation of holes in places where they aren't suposed to be.
user15026
It is making huge fucking piles of room for people to fuck up the internet is new and interesting ways.
Oh god, all the gotos
@StrixVaria Okay - I'm leaving now. You can overreact all you want to my comment, but I'm not having a discussion on those terms.
@RoryAlsop Bye.
17:20
What lawmakers don't understand is that you do not want to fuck around with people's porn download speeds. You do that, and there will be a revolution.
user15026
@Sterno God, I hope so.
Every lobbyist who took a job for any of these telecom companies can also go die in a fire. Have a fucking conscience.
Apr 25 at 16:19, by Panic Bomb
The funny thing is that the ISPs are probably going to suffer the biggest blowback if they impact peoples' ability to access free porn, more than anything
As with most technology, porn is what really determines the course history takes.
I can't even remember the last time I've been so angry about something I have no control over.
@StrixVaria Definitely ItG.
17:25
@BenBrocka Didn't they also find a vs. World Champion song in Black/White as well?
@JasonBerkan I had at least some sway in that argument.
I definitely felt very similar about ITG, though.
@StrixVaria Various moves to restrict access to birth control is right up there
For someone who only knows me over the internet, that's a good guess :P
user15026
@StrixVaria I am right there with you.
@StrixVaria Just think, in a few months you'll be too stressed with new-parent concerns to care about mundane things like net neutrality.
user15026
17:26
@PanicBomb grumbles
@Sterno Pretty sure I'm still going to care about the internet.
@PanicBomb restricting birth control is stupid. Why would you do that?
@Arperum WHY WOULD YOU KILL NET NEUTRALITY
BECAUSE YOU'RE A GREEDY, LYING, CORPORATE DOUCHEFACE
@Arperum Why, indeed.
@StrixVaria I'm pretty sure that's the only other time I've seen you angry at something.
17:28
Although I think there might be different equally fucking awful reasons for birth control.
user15026
@Arperum Because ladies should never be in charge of their own sexuality.
user15026
Because that just makes us sluts who aren't breeding your precious spawn.
@StrixVaria I DID NOT KILL NET NEUTRALITY. IT IS VERY FUCKING IMPORTANT. AND KILLING IT IS MORONIC.
user15026
(SHall I keep going?)
user15026
@StrixVaria Pretty much this.
17:29
@Arperum This is a failure of the English language. I was using "you" in the sense of "someone".
@AshleyNunn No need, we are on the same side here.
If the room needs something to ease their tensions, you can spend the next 35 minutes listening to these dulcet tones:
user15026
@Arperum Sorry, it makes me SO mad, because I am currently without health insurance, and birth control is not covered by OHIP.
user15026
17:30
(OHIP being the provincial health insurance stuff)
user15026
And it is NOT cheap.

Q: Tools/Plugins for replicating a real area in Minecraft

Robulame and a small team of others have been tasked of building a Minecraft representation of our workplace. We have a few major buildings as well as woodland and grassy areas. I've already installed CraftBukkit on a server but what I'm really looking for is an easy way to generate/create a box area ...

@AshleyNunn I can't recall any form of birth control being pricey around here. I remember my sisters getting the pill for free.
@LessPop_MoreFizz HI LESSPOP
user15026
@Arperum Here, for a month, it is about $30
17:32
$45 monthly isn't terribly expensive for an awesome hobby.
user15026
sucks at math
@Sterno Tee ... heeheheheh-
user15026
@Sterno It is when you have very little money.
Split that cost 2-ways! (or more... I don't judge)
user15026
(aka when I was unemployed, and I need to be on bc for various health reasons unrelated to my like of having sex)
17:33
@Sterno /cc: @WorldEngineer
user15026
@FEichinger Fucking don't, okay?
user15026
That is not the fucking point.
@Frank The problem with monks is that our primary attribute's defensive element is not very good.
@AshleyNunn I believe @Sterno is very much making the fucking point ... I'm sorry, though.
Class changes aren't likely to get me back. My main problems are with itemization.
user15026
17:34
THe fucking point is that I shouldn't have to ask the people I potentially fuck for money to keep my own fucking reproductive system from causing me fucking pain and anguish every damn month.
From a cost-benefit analysis point of view I'm all for free birth control. From a "I'm actually paying for this for someone else?" point of view I'm not. Luckily my logic side wins over my irrational side.
@Sterno This is the problem with a lot of tax politics
"I'm paying for someone else's right to do what?????????"
Never mind that it saves the country money overall, or that human fucking decency is worth a few pennies a month in taxes
@PanicBomb I buy the first one, but not the second one. It's a hard sell on me that "human decency" has much to do with the equation.
@Sterno Ensuring basic public welfare is a worthwhile goal to pursue. In my opinion.

Q: Skyrim Fortify Smithing Option does not appear

NormanIm playing as a Khajit, and went around collecting all I need to create Fortify Smithing potions. However, when I try to create a potion, the Fortify Smithing Option does not appear. I've never created potions this far, so I guess I'm missing out on something. I've leveled 100 in Archery and Sne...

user15026
17:37
Sorry. I know I am a raging anger squid about this, and perhaps I shouldn't be, but it just sucks.
But then, I'm not keen on letting people starve on the street either
@PanicBomb That's exactly the problem with the "human decency" argument. You can apply it to damn near everything and basically tell the other side they're assholes if they disagree with you. It's not effective.
user15026
Defining decency is tricky.
OMG YOU'D KILL GRANDMAS AND CHILDREN? YOU'RE A MONSTER
OK, forget the wording I used. I think that a baseline level of health care for all citizens should be something that our society devotes money towards.
That includes birth control.
17:39
@PanicBomb I agree! But I also think the cold hard math of it generally works better in those situations anyway
user15026
@PanicBomb And this is where I get frustrated, because in a lot of ways, what my coutnry does do is great, and I am 100% not dead because of it (in a lot of countries I wouldn't have made it poast 24 hours, let alone 26 years) but aaaa there are still issues
birth control is a hell of a lot cheaper than supporting children who can't be supported by their parents, and the subsequent societal problems that are tied into it
@Sterno these are generally the same people that believe in trickle down economics, no math does not work on them
@AshleyNunn It always gets tricky when you involve things that some people tie up with morality
user15026
@PanicBomb Which is a whole other can of worms that makes me really mad
17:40
@KevinvanderVelden I've never seen anyone become convinced by the "If you disagree, you're a terrible person" argument though.
user15026
Your morality should not affect my fucking lady bits
user15026
@Sterno Well, there is that.
@AshleyNunn Did I miss the point where this went from net neutrality to reproductive rights? I'm just trying to find the background here. In any case, does your medical benefits package (if/when it kicks in if not already) cover that form of birth control?
user15026
@MBraedley I don't have one of those.
user15026
And the ones I have never have.
17:41
@Sterno appeals to emotion seem to work well with that crowd though, true, stated as you said it'll just piss them off
@MBraedley I'm probably at fault for that, because @StrixVaria said he couldn't think of anything else recently that made him as mad as the net neutrality decision
and I brought up this
user15026
Anyway, I will remove myself for a while because I am just making messes everyplace.
@AshleyNunn noohs
user15026
goes back to sports
17:42
@AshleyNunn Nooo, don't go
NOW I CAN'T STOP THINKING OF ADULT DIAPERS
3
@Sterno incoming stars.
8
Or are @FEichinger and @spugsley not here?
I'm so proud that 3 people starred that before I got to it.
Good job Bridge.
@MadScientist D3 EU servers got to patch 2.0.5 too now (if you didn't know yet)
HELLO WHAT IS THIS CAN I MAKE THIS WORSE
17:43
Sooooo... anyone want to buy some tickets to the Night Vale second anniversary show in NYC?
All I know is that I've had that cat video going in the background for the past 13 minutes and it's made this whole conversation thread pretty weird
Keep being heroes.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'd like to be able to go if I bought said tickets.
I... might not be able to be there. :(
@AshleyNunn Well that doubly sucks. It sounds like it's something that is required for your health and general well being, and that you have to pay out of pocket for it seems wrong to me.
Stupid job.
17:44
@PanicBomb That video you posted is weird.
so is the FCC proposal text published yet?
@MBraedley DOING THINGS THAT HELP CITIZENS OVER COMPANIES? WHAT IS THIS? CANADA?
EUROPE?
@Sterno yeah that's age for ya
FUCK THOSE PLACES
You know what they do in Europe? Drive on the left side of the road. NOT IN MY COUNTRY
17:45
@StrixVaria Um, yeah, this is Canada.
Yes, this is dog.
@PanicBomb there's like, one country that does that, and we all look pretty strangely at them
I'd be in favor of the government offering free vasectomys
@PanicBomb No, most of Europe is sensible, it is just the English that are fuckwits about backwards driving.
user15026
@MBraedley Yeah, it is a health thing. I mean the safer sexytimes is a nice side benefit, but it is more "I would like to not seriously consider chopping parts of me out every now and again"
17:46
@KevinvanderVelden This.
user15026
@Sterno Government supporting sexual health and freedom would be shiny.
@KevinvanderVelden YEAH BURMA. BURMESE KNOW WHAT'S UP.
17:47
@KevinvanderVelden ...why did you say Burma just now
@LessPop_MoreFizz Liberia too!
@BenBrocka Triceratops
@KevinvanderVelden At work, can't see, but can imagine
Mission of Burma is a rad band, FYI.
@MBraedley map of countries colorcoded by whether or not they use metric
Burma, liberia and USA do not
@BenBrocka I didn't say burma! I just posted an image
@AshleyNunn I agree, though at the same time, the government subsidizing certain things is entirely different than supporting freedom.
but think of all the signage to replace!
@KevinvanderVelden I can read the name of the image by hovering over, just can't see it
@KevinvanderVelden Doesn't the UK still use miles for certain things, like speed limits? It seems kind of weird
17:49
I'm all for people having the freedom to get sex change operations, for instance. I don't really want to pay for that with my tax dollars, though.
@MBraedley ooh, well it's a pretty short list =p
user15026
@Sterno Aye, I understand
user15026
It's drawing that line that is tricky.
@PanicBomb yes, the UK is kinda weird, see also: driving on the wrong side of the road
user15026
I am just a grumpasaurus about these things
17:50
OH MAN KEY CHANGE AT WAY 61
@PanicBomb Canadians still use feet, inches, and pounds on occasion.
I use my feet everyday!
@PanicBomb I skipped thorugh it, once at 100 it changes more.
map of speed limit units in the world
(Wikipedia is a weird place)
I AM GOING TO THE LITTLE ORANGE DOTS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THAT MAP.
WOOOO.
17:52
@KevinvanderVelden EXTRA U'S IN WORDS FOR NO REASON
user15026
That is meaningless to me because I have no idea what those dots are :P
@MBraedley Mostly either from older generations who were not taught metric, or from our proximity to our metricless southern neighbors.
@AshleyNunn Hawaii I think?
user15026
(My knowledge of geography is pretty tiny)
@Sterno extra u's in wourds four no reasoun
17:52
@PanicBomb ouch
I mean I know that there are dots that are Hawaii on the left side of the map, but not if that's where @LessPop_MoreFizz is going.
@StrixVaria Yup.
Going to work in Maui for a month in a few weeks. WOOOOOOO.
@LessPop_MoreFizz woot woot
17:53
@LessPop_MoreFizz Are you going to be mapping it?
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz sounds fun
@TrentHawkins Yeah, a little bit of both. I'll give my height in imperial (5'11"), but I also know that's pretty close to 180cm
@StrixVaria Yup!
That's pretty badass actually.
17:53
too bad there doesn't seem to be many streets there
user15026
@MBraedley ah, I know my height and weight in imperial, and I couldn't tell you what they were otherwise.
@badp It's about a months work.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Nice
@MBraedley Everyone is always taller than me :(
Hawaii is ridiculously awesome. At least, if you're used to Midwest weather
17:55
@fredley why the short dance? :(
user15026
I know I am 6'. But I don't know how many centimetere I am
@OrigamiRobot How tall are you?
@AshleyNunn That's a whopping 182 cm
user15026
@badp Imma giant.
@LessPop_MoreFizz That is awesome. I was in Oahu and the Big Island last month. The weather is nothing short of perfect.
17:56
Jeah! I'm taller than all of you (so far)
@Fluttershy 5'8" or 5'9" I have no idea.
@KevinvanderVelden That's kind of expected. Dutchies are ridiculously tall.
I'm 6'2"
@OrigamiRobot that's about how tall I am
@Arperum 2 of my friends are 1.95, I'm like 1.88 or something
17:59
@GnomeSlice Really? I always thought you were short. At least shorter than me.
@OrigamiRobot That's how tall I am!
@KevinvanderVelden As I said, idiculously tall.
I'm 5'11".
@StrixVaria Because I get banned a lot?
