Q: Minecraft xbox 360 silly help.

QuazarIm mining around. Just started playing. I forgot to bring sticks. So now I've made my way back up with bare hands. The only problem is there's water above me. It's fun trying to get out, but are there any tricks to getting out? I have no map so I can't tell what it above me. I think I had an ide...

Is it me or the game? AC2 on PC looks really low-poly (for a relatively recent game) to me even with all settings on max.
This game isn't that old. The game is coming nowhere near the GPU's capacity even at 8xMSAA.
This is especially visible at the beginning of the game when Desmond escapes Abstergo.
@DragonLord almost 5 years is quite a long time in game terms
@Chippies: Maybe I've been spoiled by Crysis...
but I'm used to seeing better.
00:14
Crysis was a tech "demo" for their engine
and Crysis doesn't have much happening, it's an FPS
in AC2 there's a lot of people and whatnot
either way, AC is a console game series
> Oh you're from Canada? Can you say "Out and about on a boat"?
Oh hey that's where that gif is from

Q: Civ 5 - Can I own land w/o having a city nearby?

WillSo, I have Civ 5 with all the expansions and DLC. I'm playing on the largest map and I want to start moving units across the world to face my other enemy, but it's quite far and I don't own any cities nearby. Theres a small area on an island to a south that nobody owns, it's just free land. Is ...

Oh hey it's Let It Go
I feel like I've seen a third of this movie already :P
@ashleynunn kid was just born in Canada, living in Saudi Arabia, so he nailed it :P
(no I'm not kidding)
I have a friend from new York who I'm pretty sure has practiced the pronunciation of the word "water"
@Frank Yeah, so it seems. He raises some good points, and touches on some things I dislike about the the 3D Zelda.
Also I was happy he talked about how much he loved LinkBetween Worlds.
Link between Worlds got a lot of hate for being too easy, but I love, love, love, loved it! It focused on exploration, which is what I love about Zelda (and so does raptor too, it seems).
00:43
I liked the exploration in Wind Waker.
yeah, that's one of the reason I loved Wind Waker.
ALBW was meh as far as I'm concerned. Wind Waker best Zelda
I loved exploring the Ocean.
user15026
@Wipqozn It bored me.
@AshleyNunn Well, so long as you realize you're a monster that's okay.
user15026
00:45
Oh, I just got told that, and someone hates me, so I am well aware.
user15026
(Work is funsies)
LBW is the 3rd worst zelda game.
I am disappointed in all of you.
Especially @OrigamiRobot.
Also, a bunch of us should really go racing in Mario Kart 8 sometime soon.
Trying to set up GFWL to play Dark Souls is the worst.
cc @EveryoneWhoOwnsThat
00:48
I didn't mind it, but there's no way to really get an open world with Zelda.
Okay I gotta go
I forgot how awful everything Mincrosoft makes is.
Yes, lets race
It's Zelda trying to do too much.
I need to get up early to do car stuff, so I need to get ready for bed.
00:48
Ugh, you're the worst
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Thanks again for teaching me about that box score stuff, it is coming in handy
@Sterno I would find these funnier, if it wasn't someone deliberately trolling.
He's just being an ass.
@Frank Except there's backstory to that particular one.
I would find it funnier if it were the first time I'd read it.
SHAME ON YOU, @STERNO! HOW DARE YOU POST CONTENT I'VE SEEN BEFORE
01:01
BRB editing it to say "sloth" instead of "cat"

Am I still a big hero in whatever game you were playing?
The more I think about it, the more the proposed changes to D3 are the devs just kinda punting on the thought process.
01:15
@OrigamiRobot I restarted, but you were. Now you're a rookie like everyone else. Hopefully @Wipqozn won't outrank everyone else this time
Wow that guy is a dick
01:26
Fuck GFWL
So Frozen is nice
Oh this was based on a fairy tale too
Interesting.
This makes me glad I watched the credits
What.
@Frank What's changing?
Oh so that's what happened to the crown.
@Sterno Dex -> Armor.
Some other changes.
I am now attempting to transfer a save game from a JP version to a NA one.
My PS3 is not liking it.
01:41
@RedRiderX ???
@Ktash Oh I'm watching Frozen
I finally got to the very end.
Not sure what crown you mean though...
Elsa's crown
The Crown
In Let it go she justs whips it away
At the end of the movie they show what happened to it.
Considering Crowns are kind of... important for kingdoms, that could be a issue in the future.
But hey it could be the plot for Frozen 2!
I launch Dark Soul and it says "You can't save because you aren't logged into GFWL" without giving me any option to login. So I quit and try to launch GFWL and it can't connect to the internet (but every other program on the computer can). I reinstall GFWL and it says "oh you also need this other program but you have to install it manually". So I get that installer and it launches, then insta-closes without doing anything or giving any error message.
Fuck Microsoft. Fuck GFWL.
user15026
That sucks.
01:50
CC @GnomeSlice Now I understand why you warned me about this.
@RedRiderX I apparently missed that bit
@Ktash It was the very end
Past all the credits
@RedRiderX including this one :P
Yeah, just googled it lol
@Ktash Was Dollhouse any good?
@StrixVaria Not as good as it could have been
02:01
@StrixVaria Never actually saw it. Joss Whedon, though (right?)
@ori yep, on a live aboard for at least a couple weeks.
Not quite a gaming quality title, but that's pretty good
> Most of the events you mentioned occur in No Longer Human, the first novel adapted (episodes 1-4), by Dazai Osamu, who later committed suicide. It's about a man named Oba Yozo, who is incapable of interacting normally with other people and always puts on a facade.
Wow
user15026
@Ktash Some of those, yes.
user15026
02:05
I don't think GoT is really a snuggle show.
user15026
Same with Hannibal.
user15026
Then again, I just don't like either show. Same with Supernatural, actually....
I might push to get on one of the larger boats, since apparently one of them is basically paid vacation.
user15026
(oh god I make a terrible nerd don't I)
@AshleyNunn Meh, I'll take any excuse to cuddle, really
user15026
02:06
That's not hard, I like to cuddle
There's a guy literally getting paid to just dive, as a warm body for the coast guard, on that boat. Best job ever.
This boat is nice though.
@AshleyNunn More like a "hug each other in shock" show?
user15026
@RedRiderX More a "I can't watch it because it messes my brain up" show
Plus, being on an 80 foot schooner would be... Pretty pretty cool.
02:22
All, I just want to recognize something right now. This answer (on Anime.SE) tracked down and found a source that I think is unmatched. This site not only looks like it was created in the 90s, but used Frontpage 4 to do so, which was released in 1999. I think we're done here. I don't think we can top that. We should just give up
@AshleyNunn That;s because Supernatural is bad.
My favorite part is definitely the page view counter on the homepage. Second is the webring
user15026
02:41
@OrigamiRobot i just dont get it
user15026
like I don't get what there is to love
user15026
it sucks
The Monster of the Week episodes are fun, but the "arcs" consist of:
1. Something bad happens to Sam and/or Dean
2. They lie about it.
3. The lie makes it worse.
4. They finally tell the truth and the day is saved.
5. No lesson is learned. Repeat next season.
CC @Krazer
@StrixVaria Ugh. It's awful.
On top of that, I haven't been able to invade anybody in dark souls in weeks
The networking seems to have finally died
it keeps failing or like half connecting
02:58
@StrixVaria That's because GFWL shut down today.
It no longer exists, so it would make sense that they couldn't connect to it.
Oh, wait. Just for AoE:O.
Nevermind then. That was just a rumor. It's actually just awful.

Q: How do I breed an apocalypse dragon?

Greywolf_422Ok so I'm playing dragon city and in the description of an apocalypse dragon it noted it is almost impossible to breed these. Is there a sure fire way of breeding one of these? If so, what two dragons do i need to breed?

Rofl. Literally the second sentence down says basically that.

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's a sponsored ad from these: youtube.com/…
@KevinvanderVelden I'm aware. Doesn't make it less dumb.
@LessPop_MoreFizz true, but the original youtube things are entertaining at least
Buzzfeed did make it completely dumb
@KevinvanderVelden Newcastle made the dumb thing and put it on Buzzfeed.
07:11
well than newcastle made a dumb thing
Buzzfeed didn't make it any dumber. The youtube videos are okay, though not newcastle's best work by a mile.
The Mt. Rushmore one is actually pretty great.
@LessPop_MoreFizz well done
Now you have created a level of expectations -- in Buzzfeed

Q: What equipment should I have to kill the Eye of Cthulhu?

ThisMustBeHaloI just manually summoned the Eye of Cthulhu, going into battle with copper armour, tungsten broadsword, gold bow, jester arrows and plenty of lesser healing potions. I came rather close to death but I managed to stay alive. However, the Eye took off when I had his health down to ~1700. I'm assumi...

Timing for reviewing this answer...

@badp That font was a good recommendation
I just wish it didn't have such a ridiculous "vertical padding"
or... what font are you talking about?
@badp The Chinese one
Pretty sure everything rendered in the font is being relayed back to China though
ah. I just wish it had italic.
Pretty sure that's how fonts work
Its faux bold is fine
08:31
@badp It's open source, bold it yourself!
It's got a few thousand glyphs :P
"line_padding_bottom": 0
Works in ST2, not sure about ST3
ditto for top
Protip
Do not set your value too low
Your settings file will become illegible
Does silence from Cho'Gath stops Syndras ultimate on League of Legends?

@fredley No. I don't have a large enough garden.

@fredley I don't need other people to write my sass.

Q: I think Santa Claus paid me a visit. Should we kill him?

DatEpicCoderGuyWhoProgramsJust now I had a slew of upvotes directed at me. This upped my reputation by 200. I know that this is something called "Santa Claus" in action. From what I've heard, some users will sprinkle upvotes to all the good users. Should we allow this to happen? Check my actual Arqade profile, not my meta...

And his account is suspended. DUN DUN DUN
I can't believe you guys would suspend someone who gave us the tag.

That's ... curious.

11:16
No game should ever be called Warface
11:34
I think that battle was already lost with "Warcraft".
11:49
@MartinSojka But warcraft is an actual word
12:02
@OrigamiRobot So is warface, though at a much lower frequency.
(Though to be frank, I expect most of the results to be automatic scanned word recognition messing up "warfare" ...)

Q: If you create the Hell Fire ring (the new one) with a level 1 monk, does i still roll level 70 stats?

NinjakrebornThe Hell Fire ring does not have a level requirement. It also has a chance to roll Main stat. Will there be any difference between making it with a level 1 monk, as opposed to a level 70 monk. Will the stats be the same? Meaning will they roll at their level 70 equivelant, as a higher stat?

12:53
@Lazers specific dupe of a general question about level influencing crafted items. I can't find the question now though.

Q: Install Civ 5 mod on Linux

mortPlaying Portugal, I'd really like to have the Trade Opportunities mod. But how do I install it on a Linux system? I could not find it in the mod hub, as suggested by the link.

13:15
@Arperum Looks like someone else found it.
@Frank Yup, and aparrently both of us answered the original question...
That turtle is the happiest turtle ever :o
Why isn't anyone else playing this?
@StrixVaria Speedqozn?
@Sterno What game is that?
13:21
@Arperum Divinity: Original Sin
@Sterno This is something you could do in Dragon Age: Origins.
This is something you can do in Dwarf Fortress. With baby mermaid oil.
@StrixVaria But now I can do it again, here!
@StrixVaria gotta go fast
13:22
@Sterno Would you recommend Divinity: Original Sin?
It's $40 so I'm not buying it now, but deciding whether it should go on the wishlist.
@Sterno Isn't that still early access? I've grown to dislike early access.
@Arperum 't was released sunday
Monday*
It's hard to take a game seriously that has an expansion named "Divine Divinity"
flips Wipqozn on his back
Time for a Voight-Kampf test!
@BenBrocka Sonic should have been a turtle.
13:25
@StrixVaria the spindash would make more sense that way
@BenBrocka Hedgehogs do curl into balls when threatened
@StrixVaria This looks like normal turtle speed.
@5pike you'd think the quills would stop rather than help them roll though
Also hedgehog's leg: body ratio is like 1:20 and it's now the opposite for sonic
At least he has a scarf.
@KevinvanderVelden I was at GMM, and for 60% asleep on monday, and 40% was keeping my head together for buying my house.

@Arperum "It are"?

@BenBrocka ...bwuh
@StrixVaria I've only played 20 minutes so far so can't give a recommendation, but the first impression has been positive
@BenBrocka Sounds like someone needs a boycot...

@Arperum Full release was Monday
@BenBrocka ... Yeah, good idea
</sarcasm>
FAE

> This is to avoid possible conflicts (e.g. a female player eliminating a male player during RO8) among other things.
What.
The only thing I did wrong at GMM was not going to the signing session for Huntress.
56 secs ago, by Arperum
@BenBrocka Sounds like someone needs a boycot...
FAE
FAE
You know, because you can't take steps like punish people for being douchebags if that happens.
I wouldn't recommend trying to find logic in it
13:35
@BenBrocka The logic is sound, if you are a misogynist.
@BenBrocka ... what the hell peoples
FAE
FAE
@Arperum I'm glad you had a good time. :)
Can we just skip the dumb phases of bigotry when we make cool new stuff? Just because the old stuff went through them doesn't mean we have to
@BenBrocka That ... doesn't make any sense. But then, there's a Women's World Chess Championship as well, which makes no sense to me either, so maybe they are modelling theirs after that ...

@StrixVaria All the Divinity games were in a HB a bit back, you could wait and see if they bring it back.
@FAE It was a Weekly bundle based around Larian and Triumph IIRC.
... Well, some nonsense from some people to start my morning
FAE
FAE
@Arperum Yeah, it was a great deal.
@FAE I didn't buy it though, I have too much backlog already. I was even able to say the same this steamsales, I only bought the don't starve DLC.
FAE
FAE
@Arperum All I'm saying is that I'm now over 500 games on Steam. :|
I'm sure @TimStone knows my pain.
13:43
... Holy crap
@FAE damn, and I thought I had a lot with my 200+ =/
I've not broken 100
Yet
I've broken 100 around the previous sales.
I'm a bit past 200 or under 300 but I'm sure that's because I mostly ignore bundles
FAE
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden I haven't even been a Steam user that long, only since 08 or so.
13:44
And half of them aren't ever played.
I ignore most bundles too.
I've been a steam user since like, 2011
also I've been a judicious user of PS+ so I have quite a few indies from that and never bothered to get them on PC
Steam user since Half Life 2's release
dat patch
264 games and member since 2007
Most games come from bundles, though.
FAE
FAE
> You've made 851 transactions on Steam.

428 of those are product redemptions on Steam for external purchases (Steam doesn't know how much you paid).
FAE
FAE
13:47
I get a lot of bundles.
Why doesn't windows show my cursor on one of my screens
All the other screens are fine, but windows just hates this one
I should probably be less shy about asking for review codes (but probably won't be)
428...
@KevinvanderVelden are the screens in the right order? If one's been disconnected sometimes Windows sequences the screens in a weird order for me
FAE
FAE
I went to a clothing store with a friend today because she wanted to stop by it and she was talking about how she was addicted to shopping and buying new handbags and stuff and I was just thinking of my Steam library...
13:48
What
@BenBrocka screens are in the right order, I can use it and everything, just no cursor
Weird, reboot/reconnect device?
"Hi, I'm @FAE, and I'm addicted to bundles"
@BenBrocka I'll reboot sometime later
I don't need that screen that much anyway, it's just for reading chat atm
Also! It's kinda back
FAE
FAE
@Unionhawk It's true :(
13:51
Except the cursor has artifacts (a few lines aren't drawn)
FAE
FAE
Ugh, the worst thing about summer is fruit flies
@Unionhawk Bundles last longer than clothes.
@FAE there are worse things to be addicted to.
Never heard of being addicted to fruit flies
Also, Newegg.ca currently has 40" 1090p TVs for <$300.
I'm tempted to get a couple for my computer.
13:53
1090p sounds like some sort of Xbox Two resolution
Eh, 40 inch is to large for doing anything with text at that resolution
I should really redeem the origin bundle and play some of those
@KevinvanderVelden works lovely in Big Picture mode
I consider the fact that I have to water the garden damn near daily just for it not to look like Death Valley more of a problem than fruit flies ...
@BenBrocka let me restate that then: "Doing anything with text on things designed for PC rather tan TV"
13:54
I'd prefer a bit less water personally
FAE
FAE
@Unionhawk true
@MartinSojka jeah, she lives in Holland, not an issue =p
derecho on monday, flooding, mold in the basement, leaks
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka ewwwwwww
June in the Netherlands is so frigging rainy.
Steam Family Sharing is the best. Now people can choose a spouse solely to get access to their Steam library.
FAE

Usually May is really hot and warm and June is an awful month.
We had a wicked storm on the boat the other day

@Sterno I have a better library than all my boyfriends. :(
@FAE Surprisingly I only have 181 games on Steam. But apparently most of them were expensive even on sale. |:
@agent86 SUPER! SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH... BAD BOX ART BROTHERS!
13:57
I think my average cost (as far as steam is concerned) per game is like $1.50
@KevinvanderVelden I live just below a vineyard in western Germany. With the kind of local weather where even the owners of said vineyards moan about too hot and too dry weather for weeks on end.
but that doesn't count bundles and so forth
ie, stuff I bought outside of steam and redeemed
FAE
FAE
@TimStone Did you make the mistake of looking at how much you spent during the sale?
@agent86 that pac man is horrifying
I did and it was horrible
13:58
@BenBrocka it's all pretty horrifying.
@agent86 the megaman at least looks like some weirdo with a hat*
@FAE Your Steam library brings all the boys to the yard.
That's the least weird of them
eh most have nothing on Pikaman
FAE
FAE
@MartinSojka Oh nice. I spent a weekend a couple years ago hiking along the Rhein with a friend because she wanted to show me the vineyards and castles.
13:59
Oh, but I did forget the few bundles I bought, I probably have a number of games I haven't put into Steam.
FAE
FAE
@Sterno I can't decide whether this sentence is hilarious or horrific.
