@badp sigh it would be so great if html5 video embeds could be a thing in chat.

badp

@red yeah

RedRiderX

Okay so I'm thinking of getting some more ps2 games.

Here is my short list:

> Armored Core 2 Another Age
Zone of the Enders
Zone of the Enders The 2nd Runner
Sly 2 Band of Thieves
Sly 3 Honor Among Thieves

FAE

@RedRiderX Do you have a PS3?

RedRiderX

I need a new Sly 2 disc but other than that I'm not sure what to get

badp

To be perfectly honest I think the pictures don't do justice to the level of injuries being reported

FAE

00:02

Because the Sly Cooper trilogy is on there, IIRC.

RedRiderX

@FAE Nope

Frank

@RedRiderX Zone of the Enders has some strange mech designs.

RedRiderX

@FAE True

@FAE I actually already have Sly 1 and 2 :P

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Frank Oh god it's the umami burger dude.

RedRiderX

But my Sly 2 disc completely freezes in one specific area in one specific level.

OH MAN OH MAN THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER IS ON NETFLIX NOW.

RedRiderX

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RedRiderX THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER DOES NOT SUCK. YOU SUCK.

RedRiderX

@Frank Oh?

Strange how?

Frank

@RedRiderX They're more organic looking. Kinda fading towards the Evangalion end.

RedRiderX

Oh, interesting.

Frank

00:08

There's also a few Front Mission games you may enjoy.

They're more tactical than most mech games.

RedRiderX

Ah yes I found that one mentioned a bit.

Is it more of a RTS?

Frank

@RedRiderX Turn based.

RedRiderX

Ah okay

RedRiderX

Oh so Sly 3 wasn't as good as Sly 2?

agent86

I played whatever sly game came out on PS3 not too long ago.

it was pretty decent, imho.

RedRiderX

That was the 4th, I think

agent86

well, I liked all of the PS2 ones fwiw

RedRiderX

Sly 2 is amazing

agent86

00:27

but it's been a long, long time.

that and ratchet & clank are among my fave playstation franchises.

Private Pansy

Oh boy, the first chapter to the new Laundry Files novel is up free on Charles Stross' website antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2014/06/…

RedRiderX

Sly 1 is like Sly 2 only a third as fun

agent86

yeah, sly 1 was a bit rough, that was before GTA3 really set the standard for open world, iirc.

RedRiderX

And a bit more primitive too.

agent86

2

RedRiderX

00:28

@agent86 You feel a lot of Crash Bandicoot influence.

agent86

like, you look at watershed titles in gaming, and mario 64 was one, and you saw a lot of games emulating that pattern. then GTA3 came along and set a new pattern that you saw in a lot of games

sly 1 is very mario 64-ish, and sly 2 is more gta3-ish

RedRiderX

@agent86 Very true

agent86

there are a lot of those kind of transitions in gaming around that time.

suddenly it was like "sandbox or GTFO"

then you had modern warfare, and suddenly all FPS'es were brown, military shooters with ak-47's

half life 2 is probably another one, where story and gameplay started to muddy together.

anyhow. I ramble.

RedRiderX

@agent86 I feel like that had more of an impact on other FPS' more then anything else

agent86

well, hl2 did away with any non-in-game cutscenes, and didn't ever remove control from the player throughout the game. that was kind of big for its time.

most other games of the era would do a pre-rendered ugly looking cutscene every so often.

RedRiderX

00:34

@agent86 Very true

Private Pansy

@PrivatePansy PRESS RELEASE ABUSE

it's like mod abuse but more.

@RedRiderX have you played strike suit zero?

RedRiderX

Nope

agent86

it's a bit space combat-esque, very freespace 2 ish, but the titular strike suit is a transforming sometimes jet sometimes mech craft

if it sounds at all interesting I probably have a spare key from a previous humble.

Trent Hawkins

damn it. I hate it when games with auto-saves don't auto-save at reasonable intervals. It luls me into a false sence of security, so I don't manully save often. Now a crash has erased the progress of the last two levels I completed.

user15026

@FAE It is squashing some of hte spiders, as is my apple tea and my book

FAE

@TrentHawkins I hate when a game lacks an option to manually save at all. >_<

@AshleyNunn I am glad. <3

FAE

MBraedley

01:26

@AshleyNunn You just need to take some weed to calm yourself down. Actually, on second thought, going into your performance review stoned might not look so great.

Trent Hawkins

The worst part was, the game crashed when i opened up the menu to manually save. :/

user15026

@MBraedley True, but it could calm me down when I am not working in the interim

MBraedley

@AshleyNunn Oh, I was not being serious in the least. I've never actually smoked weed.

Unionhawk

I find taking pictures with phone quite boring, because I want them to be fancy and pretty and there's only so much you can change in the phone camera settings (aka nothing)

MBraedley

@Chippies These were taken with my Canon T3i. Cell phone is only good for QR codes and when it's infeasible to have my dSLR

Chippies

@MBraedley I can take some pretty good pictures with a cell phone, granted there's enough lighting

but there's not a lot of variety

I am limited by the phone

MBraedley

@Chippies And therein lies the rub. None of these photos would have turned out as well with my cell phone.

Chippies

@MBraedley well DUH, lol :P But it's possible to take decent photos with a phone at day time

this I took with my phone in 2011

yes, I changed some saturation and whatnot in photoshop, but it's still taken on a phone

this one isn't edited whatsoever

if only my ancient phone wasn't ancient and slower than those snails...

photoshop is great though, turns okay pictures into great pictures

MBraedley

Sure, but even the first photo I took that evening was wide open aperture and 1/100s shutter, although I was still only at ISO-200. During the day, that photo would be extremely over exposed.

Chippies

04:22

It seems to me that you're used to your dslr and don't really know how to work the phone :P

which is totally fine, because you do have a dslr

or perhaps your phone camera is crappier than my phone camera from 2011

MBraedley

@Chippies Not true, I've taken beautiful photos with my phone, but I'm just so limited that it's not worth it unless I can't have my dSLR

Chippies

limiting yourself artificially is silly

if you have a dslr, there's no reason to not use it (unless, as you said, you don't have access to it)

I hope Butt Mode question is enough to put me over 50k rep.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, if @spugsley hasn't seen it, that's probably a 500 rep bounty right there.

@Wipqozn Group Interviews are super common in retail; they're just used as informational sessions/first stage weeding out.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz Sounds like they're not really interviews.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn They aren't, really. They're more like filters before a real interview. It's retail, they get triple digit applicants for open positions, and most of them are horrifically bad.

Q: Deus Ex Human Revolution - Searching for Proof mission - Laser Gate Never Opens - Bug

I'm playing through the Searching for Proof mission in Deus Ex Human Revolution. I've gotten to the part where there are the sweeping laser detectors. I couldn't figure out how to get past, so I found a walkthrough and it shows the below laser gate flickering and going out so that you can slip th...

Q: Anyone knows the side scrolling iOS game where 2 old people ride a car?

What's the title of the side scrolling iOS game where there are 2 old people (they're a couple) riding a car and you sort of just travel an endless road? In the game, you can also collect photos that reveal the history of the old couple.

two thirds of men in this study would rather give themselves electric shocks than spend 15 minutes alone in a room.

@agent86 To be fair electric shocks are more of a novelty.

It's something to write home about!

@agent86 well maybe they're all just into SM

Oh hey, Potato Salad dude is going to live stream the making of his Potato Salad.

Also, if he hits 3k, he will relocate his Potato Salad Making and subsequent party to an actual party hall where the whole internet will be invited.

Q: Why won't Goat Simulator open?

I recently bought goat simulator and I installed it and downloaded it but whenever I try to play it, it just closes straight after I click it. And I want to fix it otherwise I just wasted 6.99 pounds.

Q: How do I make most use of the Adrenaline Shield?

One of the Heavy Assault Trooper's overshields is the Adrenaline Shield. It is recharged by up to 20% (depending on level) when killing an enemy, but does not seem to recharge passively as quickly as the Nanite Mesh Generator. How (when) do I actually use it effectively? I can't really imagine a...

Q: When do implants drop?

Implants have been added to the game recently. You can obtain a random one from "things such as capturing bases, killing enemies, and potentially support actions and alerts". That's too vague for my taste. So exactly what actions can award an implant? Is it just random chance for each action, or...

@agent86 I dislike what they're claiming here. Yes, they told people it would shock them, but they're not saying how many people touched it just once to see "how bad is it?" There's "shocking yourself because you're curious" and then there is "shocking yourself because you simply can't bear to be alone with your thoughts", and I feel they're a long way from proving the latter

@Sterno There's also "This is boring and the shock isn't that bad so fuck it"

Q: Does boosting have a greater effect within it own race?

In the game there are three races (Monster, Nature and Robot) and all three have different boost eggs. Does a Robot boost egg have a greater effect on other robot cards, or do they boost every race equally alike? And how about boosting by using cards (so not eggs), does that differ on race, or not?
