badp

I've never owned a console at all, although the Amiga I had when I was like 3 perhaps counts given how I used it

we had an atari 2600 initially then upgraded to a 7800, I spent years in my adulthood tracking down a 7800 which still runs great

@badp That's what I thought. I know all the Steam purchases for Tropico 4 were made, so if people haven't gotten them yet, I don't know what to say. I guess someone with a slightly different screen name randomly got a copy of Tropico 4? Curse you internet!

@LessPop_MoreFizz At least Friday off work will do. Once we get them in office I will be mailing them to you

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah I have your name and address. I've been concentrating on other things and NYCC has sorta slipped a little. But the passes were ordered!

FallenAngelEyes

@BrettWhiteΨ Also, whomever runs the Steam account should have a history of what they've gifted, so they can double check who it went to.

@BrettWhiteΨ No worries, just making sure that I don't ask for a day off and then have nothing to do! Thanks!

@FallenAngelEyes And if the other person hasn't accepted the gift yet, it can be regifted (or rather, re-sent to a new person).

FallenAngelEyes

[/firstworldproblems]

Yi Jiang

I tried Albion. It sort of works, but the movies don't play, and the game is extraordinarily slow

Powerlord

@YiJiang As I recall, DOSBox tends to start out with the clock speed set slow. In the PC version, there's a keyboard shortcut for changing the clock speed.

However, I doubt hitting ctrl-f12 is possible in the Android version. ;)

Wipqozn

I love when someone tries to extort money out of me in Human REvolution. pay them, knock them out, take back my money

Yi Jiang

@Powerlord There's a clock speed setting, yes. I don't see any units, so I can't guess what I should set it to for the game to run smoothly

Powerlord

14:03

@YiJiang I assume the units are MHz

That is the standard for computer speeds, after all. Well, it's GHz now, but same thing.

Dave McClelland

@Wipqozn Paying them first is always the best option. It avoids problems like the one I had

Wipqozn

@DaveMcClelland That's the quest I'm talking abou actually haha

Dave McClelland

Crap, I get the braces wrong every time

@Wipqozn Goodness that was irritating. I just wandered around China for what seemed like hours

Yi Jiang

@Powerlord Don't think so, if "CPU Cycle" is in MHz, then 2300 would be... well, faster than the tablet's processor

FallenAngelEyes

So apparently Texas is on fire

I hope any users we have in the area are safe

Powerlord

14:07

@YiJiang Are you sure that's not 23.00?

Hmm, the FAQ just says number of cycles.

Yi Jiang

This is odd - increasing the number decreases the number of time the cursor flickers

Powerlord

But yeah, I'd try it with 5000 cycles and see if it works any better

Dave McClelland

@FallenAngelEyes A couple days old now, but Texas definitely has some fire problems

propmenu is usually restricted to admins only, but I changed it.

Since @badp reminded me, I decided to ask in the Prop Hunt thread why it defaults to that.

badp

Is it because it'd make it too hard for the pyros?

"I know. Let's all be buckets!"

(I've never played prophunt.)

user30

Powerlord

@badp In Prop Hunt, flaming while you jump essentially makes your jump infinite.

Unless that's not what you meant.

badp

17:43

@Powerlord wat

Powerlord

Pyros have some tools at their disposal to reach areas that props (who are Scouts) can reach but Pyros normally couldn't.

The catch is that you lose health every time you attack.

Also, I left stats on for my Prop Hunt server, so I managed to get several daily awards in it... just things like MVP, Shotgun kills, Jag kills, etc...

Mainly because it helps in Prop Hunt to have one Engineer every round, and since no one else was, I was.

You can't build sentries in Prop Hunt, but Dispensers tend to be important! ;)

What the crap, my most used weapon in the last 28 days was the Persian Persuader? :D

Q: Does Yoshi B-type have an ending?

Does the NES version of Yoshi (a.k.a. Yoshi's Egg, Mario & Yoshi) have an ending when playing the B-type game, or does the game just keep getting faster? If there is not an ending, how many different fruits are there on the interstitials?

nes endings yoshi

Powerlord

@Loktar Yup, RED team gets assigned a random prop (if they don't choose one with propmenu before the round starts) then has 30 seconds to hide.

I should mention that most maps used in Prop Hunt are specifically made for it.

So, there are lots of props already lying around the maps.

Loktar

that sounds awesome

Powerlord

17:56

So, players can be things like chiminies, fences, shrubs... you have to check them all.

Oh, and the touching the control point will heal you, but it has a cooldown on it. Which makes having one Engineer with a Dispenser really handy, since you take damage for every shot you shoot while searching.

You can play classes other than Pyro on offense (except for Scout and Spy, which can't be played), but Pyro's flaming jump thing means the other classes have a disadvantage.

As it is, since the props are really Scouts, then can already outrun you.

Powerlord

@badp Pssh, I disagree.

You don't think chasing a hopping pillar that's on fire across a map is fun? :D

Loktar

I thought it was like a random koth

like a random point on the map you have to capture

and the other team defends or something

I didnt realize players were props

still sounds interesting enough to give it a try though

Powerlord

18:20

@Loktar Nope. The control point exists solely to heal you... and as a prop on some maps for whatever reason (so a player can try to disguise as the point itself...)

RED team (the props) wins if time runs out. BLU team wins if they kill all the props.

Almost every ph map has water on it somewhere for the props to put themselves out (although the control point heals them, too.)

The point intentionally has a time limit. So, touching it while you have full health is a mistake, as you won't be able to use it again for 30 seconds or so.

Loktar

yeah i may give that a try tonight not sure though since dead island is out

played Warhammer:Space Marine at lunch, that game is surprisingly fun

Powerlord

OK, this is cute, when writing these test plans, I'm supposed to be putting "Run application" as step 1 of every test. :O

Yup. Client update downloaded according to steam.

Dave McClelland

@RavenDreamer Cool, then our servers don't need updated. This is good news, indeed

user30

@badp Not...quite

badp

That's what I read

Powerlord

@DaveMcClelland If you're referring to TF2, it was an optional update.

user30

However perhaps quite offensive in it's correct form

Dave McClelland

@Powerlord Ahh, that would make sense

user30

Still, I find that map hilarious

user30

Oh, Italy.

Powerlord

Optional updates mean the clients won't throw version mismatch errors on connect.

user30

I thought you were referring to the one above it.

Raven Dreamer

WOP land?

Urban Dictionary it

Raven Dreamer

Oh.

Okay, so mildly racist.

I should be offended! I'm of Italian descent!

user30

Even my dad found that map hilarious

user30

Particularly the Falklands

Raven Dreamer

And South Georgia.

gah, how the hell do you translate "video mode"

Arda Xi

video modus

Dave McClelland

@badp modeo de videoo

user30

in en-gb that would be "video mode"

badp

Meaning, combination of resolution, depth, frequency, direct-x level and whatnot

@ThomasMcDonald I like how there are three Portugals

Powerlord

19:55

@ThomasMcDonald Really? In en-us, it's Video Options (as I recall)

user30

@Powerlord before he clarified video mode made sense

Dave McClelland

@badp Translate it into english? Why not "Video Settings" or "Graphics Options"?'

badp

support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1216-JMTZ-0860

"Reset Video Settings and Force a Video Mode"

FallenAngelEyes

@SadlyNot This may have been because of the update fix they did

They apparently accidentally released a dev version on Steam instead of the release version and when they patched to fix it, the save versions (obviously) weren't compatible

Raven Dreamer

Hello and goodbye, @FallenAngelEyes!
