Also in the news: in a small coastal town in Australia, a bomb was found in the suburbs. They decided to detonate the device in a controlled environment. Scary shit when it happens in your street.
@Ben My word
How large was the explosion?

Q: What was the marking that Prophet Velen transferred to Yrel? (Spoilers)

NoneOfYourBusinessThe cutscene in question is this one: After you battled Ner'zhul, he summons the Dark Star to destroy the Draenei. Durin...

Eh, we have that nearly weekly here, and it's most often "near city centre", not "some suburbs". You get used to it.
Ben
Ben
Tbh not even sure what it was originally, all I know is they evacuated half the suburb, then blew it up. Didn't get back home until 4am...
@Wipqozn it was controlled, so they managed to keep it fairly small and contained.
I blame the Brits for their lousy bomb trigger engineering.
15:05
@MartinSojka Though you've had a few more wars fought there than Australia has.
Ben
Ben
@MartinSojka it really was odd. I mean, we're not the capital, it wasn't even in the city, more on the outskirts of the town, and well... Yeah... It's Australia. Nothing happens in Australia...
Except those dropbears
Where did the bomb come from anyway? The Japanese didn't bomb that much of Australia last I checked.
Ben
Ben
@KevinvanderVelden nah we got the dropbears under control. Just clap loudly under trees, that deters them.
@MartinSojka pretty sure they reckon it was homemade. Came in a backpack
(Unless you're somewhere near Darwin, in which case I can see how some old bombs might be rusting around the place)
Ah, those we have as well. Last week the firefighters had to let a barn burn down since the guy owning it admitted there was some ammo and at least one WWII era hand grenade lying inside ...

15:10
Lol. "Everyone and their mum's are packing round 'ere!"
"Like who?"
"Farmers"
"And..?"
"...Farmers mum's"
I DON'T GO TO THE WEB FOR MY NEWS SO THAT I CAN WATCH A F'ING VIDEO, CNN
I wasn't dizzy enough yet from that "this" article.
o_O dat fire.
15:20
Your family is dangerously insane
That is one impressive tree
@TimStone Yes
That is going to be fun to clean up after
Yes
It's a continuous cycle of cleaning up after it
As a kid I loved the idea of bringing a tree into the house. As an adult, fuck that there's probably spiders.
@StrixVaria Spiders are the worst
15:24
I have yet to get a tree for my house (we had another holiday on friday and I wanted to wait until at least after that)
May O'Neill get
Apparently that fire is already mostly out.
15:41

Q: When does crafting unlock?

TipsyI've bought 11 workshops, but the crafting sub-tab hasn't unlocked below the upgrades tab. I have more than enough wood to craft beams(about 2k), but nothing has shown up. Is there an upgrade or building I'm missing? I checked the wiki, which just says it unlocks with the workshop.

Ooh, if you want your very own TSA porno scanner they're only 8k now: boingboing.net/2014/12/06/buy-your-own-tsa-surplus-porno.html
wat
ofcourse boingboing has a beat on what the price of those things are
who else
They're surplus ones that the TSA is now selling for 8K, after buying them for 113K
15:48
What the fuck
So probably not actually the TSA directly or something, I have no idea what's going on anymore
I don't know, all I know is that of course boing boing knows about this, also, they don't actually display detailed models, only regions of unusualness where there might be a forgotten wallet in a pocket.
Firearm, bomb, etc
But most likely forgotten wallet or belt
Cause iirc you could trivially hide the bomb/firearm/whatever from the scanner
these swarm princes are gbiving me hell
> They tried smuggling a variety of weapons through that scanner, and found—as Corbett did—that taping a gun to the side of a person’s body or sewing it to his pant’s leg hid its metal components against the scan’s black background. For that trick, only fully metal guns worked; An AR-15 was spotted due to its non-metal components, the researchers report, while an .380 ACP was nearly invisible.
15:52
Let me guess, boing boing is also sciencing these things too?
Boing boing is reporting on them yes, they did not do the sciencing: wired.com/2014/08/…
Ah I see
Bought all managers!
took them all out finally by hiding around a door way just out of bounds D:
I feel bad.
@KevinvanderVelden Is it seriously called Rapi-scan? I mean, I'm sure it's supposed to be short for "Rapid Scan", but come on...
16:01
@Yuuki jup, the marketing department is about as good as the engineering department there =p

Q: Can I use a controller on TF2 if I don't have a working xbox?

Tim CruzI was just wondering because i would rather play it on a controller.

I started playing Endless Legend. Someone put an adventure game in my civ game...
16:16
@MadMAxJr It's a good game.
It's got some really good concepts going on.
I like it so far, I just have to write off my first few plays as learning games
It's like a fantasy version of Alpha Centauri.
Hmm. This tribe wants me to conquer this other one and get back some of their people. That can't be too hard...
Alright fantasy-futuretech crossbowmen, march over there. Huh. Flying fire demon looking guys. Oh. They have a perk. Against ranged attackers.
Oh god why is everyone dead
7
@MadMAxJr Careful with battles. They're tactical, but not as in-depth as you might expect.
The lack of terrain advantage in combat, such as having shooters on higher ground having zero effect made me sad.
16:19
I still need to ply Endless Legend for more than an hour.
I honestly don't know why I bought it
I fell for the lure of the steam sale.
As soon as I booted it up I thought "I'm not in the mood for a 4X right now"
@MadMAxJr I was interested in that.
Got it after giving Dungeon of the Endless a go and raising a brow at how they combined roguelike and tower defense.
@Wipqozn Are you interested in a story-fied version of Civilization? With fantasy?
16:21
The dragon race should have been ponies. Because they want EVERYONE TO BE FRIENDS and that's how they win.
I do like the idea that you put one city in a region, and you lay claim to the entire region, instead of dynamic borders in Civ
And something I really missed from much older 4x games, a race that can ONLY KNOW WAR.
Curious to try a multiplayer game of it, since diplomatic interactions /cost/ you influence, which means I won't get spammed with trade/agreement offers left and right.

Q: What good are all the golden swords looted from zombie pigmen?

FatcatI have a bunch of golden swords from the pigmen. What good are they? Can I change them into gold bars or nuggets or something else useful?

@MadMAxJr Dynamic borders had its pros, but I was always fussed with how I couldn't place workers on every tile I owned despite having enough workers.
...Borderlands Online is apparently going to be a thing in China.

Q: Is there anyway I can stop getting connection lost?

bozogyI try joining my friends Tekkit Hamachi server. I can get on but my mini-map won't fully load, I can't access any chests and I can type anything in chat - I literally can't do anything. Then, a few seconds later I get connection lost. I have been able to join before and play, but I don't know wha...

One more achievement to get
Need 20 more hockey teams
...Game complete!
That was fun
I guess
16:37
, lwhat gamr?
Parlez-vous anglais?
yeah, it was pretty short for an incremental. decently fun though i guess
@Rapitor I liked the x1000 button
Maybe they should have been unlockable though
i guess it was only short because I had x1000 on at all times
Me too, but then why would you not?
16:39
@fredley wrong one btw
@Rapitor oh
whatever
That incremental that someone linked
@fredley even the angel upgrades?
you know, that one
@Chippies got all angel upgrades before all money ones
@Frank I like what I've read about the game, I just wish I didn't buy it when I did.
I wish I waited until a deeper sale, or until I would actually play it.
@fredley huh? how?
@Wipqozn With age comes wisdom.
@Chippies By having lots of angels
Which definitely don't exist by the way
the angels didn't even show up until I had all the buildings and a whole bunch of upgrades and the cheapest angel upgrade is 10k angels, I may have 10k by now, idk
were you cheating again?
16:40
@Chippies no
@Chippies don't get the angel bonuses that just increase your count... get as many multipliers as you can first.
It's not cheating if there's a button for it!
@KevinvanderVelden a button that gives angels?
the amount of angels you get per soft reset scales... pretty exponentially
@Rapitor Actually, the count ones are worth getting, I spent a while trying to work out the optimal time to buy them, before working out the optimal time is straight away
@Rapitor Yup. x1000 angels per reset
16:41
@Chippies possibly, and/or sets the time scale to 1000
Except of course that angels do not exist
well maybe I should reset with my 4k angels then
nvm, threw in more buildings, went up to 13k real fast...
when buying buildings slows down.. soft reset
@Chippies Yeah, resetting sets you back by maybe 10 seconds to get back to where you were
reset early, reset often
woah, didn't realize all the upgrades are kept through soft resets
well that changes everything
wait nvm, they're not
16:44
@Chippies No, but they essentially free due to the exponential angles
Which may or may not exist
@fredley I'm sure angles exist and have been proven to exist
there's a whole thing in math about angles
It is best to deny all knowledge of the tiered heavens and the hierarchy of angels.
Angels tell only lies anyway.
Is there any particular reason to not destroy this user? Ever since his non-answer got deleted, he hasn't taken it well.
Yes, that's right. The Little Prince is coming.
Ooh, Suikoden 2 is coming to PSN.
cc @Fluttershy
16:55
cc @AshleyNunn @Ktash @spugsley
@Frank This is amazing news.
@Frank Is 5 by any chance on PSN already?
@MadMAxJr I honestly don't know.
I'm going to have to sit down one of these days and run through the series.
I would skip 4.
@Frank thatsapenis.gif
@MadMAxJr The only one I've played to any degree at all is Tactics.
16:56
And no, there is no reason, this is the kind of thing we want the spam filter to notice
Any Minecraft players able to confirm if this answer works?
Haven't played that one, but you can skip the later ones on DS.
@Frank The Suikoden series has a neat way of handling certain characters. Someone whose a minor character in an earlier game may be major players in the later ones.
3 is an odd duck in that it has a 'canon' ending and two other endings.
2 will actually let you choose to abandon the entire quest and live a peaceful life way out in the woods.
@MadMAxJr So...like most games with multiple endings?
17:01
@Frank Apparently 3 had a comic/manga series run alongside it that defined what the 'real' ending is. Never read it.
@Rapitor you are not very nice you know ;)
1 has some teeth grinding 'the boss is cheating' fights that felt like massive accomplishments to beat.
@Rapitor What's a Winsconsin?
@fredley how does the angel counter work? Is it just based on time played?
@Batophobia Total money earned

If You guys need help levelin up add Demonichacker69 i will invite you to game i made Kill The girl cops gain xp crazily at 7th round you kill them deliver bags when you stop gainnin xp you get like 6000-8000

@Lazers Well. That didn't last long.
@fredley Might as well delete that post from chat as well.
Shia Lebouf song will not leave my head
@Sterno ACTUAL CANIBAL SHIA LABEOUF
(this is your other prize, @spugsley)
17:14
You try to swing an axe at Shia LeBeouf!
Now, on a scale from 1 to "surprise videos", how much eternal torment is this causing you>
Your mom's a surprise video.
OH BUUUUURRRRNNN
Kinder Surprises videos is right there past 11
Zeus damn it @Sterno. I have that stuck in my head now.
@Wipqozn It's Shia Lebeouf!
I hate you so much right now.
Now I'm listening to the video again.
Maybe I should subject my coworkers to it
I feel blessed I don't know what you're talking about.
That'll only make it easier for Shia Lebeouf to get you.
Why are you not prepared!?
17:34
Oct 27 at 3:37, by spugsley
@Unionhawk Yeah, I'm not watching that.
YES YOU SHOULD
DO IT
PEER PRESSURE
@Frank You know you secretly want to.
@Wipqozn I totally don't.
I've got enough to do.
So, XCOM: The Long War is a bit more intimidating than I thought it would be.
17:39
@Frank I don't believe for one second that you don't have 3 minutes 27 seconds to spare. This excuse is therefore invalid.
@Yuuki 6 interceptors per downed UFO!
@Unionhawk I don't believe it for five seconds.
@Sterno Yeah, I felt it was a bit ridiculous that the first UFO I encountered was the Very Large class.
@Unionhawk I currently have 72 tickets in my queue, I'm at least a week behind on them, a couple meetings to prepare for later today, and several items that needed my attention yesterday.

Q: Clash of Clan - Uploading a second account onto the same device

MannyLiensHopefully this question hasn't been answer already and if it had - I'm sorry. I currently have a level 77 account under [email protected] on my android phone. Also, I have a level 60 on my android tablet under [email protected]. I'm trying to load my level 60 onto my phone, but get that "t...

17:44
There's difficulty and there's punishment.
This is the latter.
(Also, I really don't want to know what it's all about)
17:55
ughghghghgh
spent ages trying to work out why a damn loop wasn't working
for(vari=0;i<arr.length;i++){...}
damn loop?
damn you javascript
5
Is that a new construct or something
@fredley while (false) do print "WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING" end
@fredley whitespace for the win? Are you manually minifying or something?
17:57
@MattGiltaji Yeah whitespace
I prefer my code compact
Why must figures be so shiny!?
@Frank They needed your attention on Sunday? How rude.
@Sterno Well, it really means there are things that should've already been done, but there's only one of me, so I just fall further and further behind.
@fredley I'm assuming you meant to have a space after var
@murgatroid99 yup
18:01
Then the problem probably depends on what's in and before the loop
With that loop, you should be able to access arr[i] correctly as long as arr is an array
shopping: the worst or the worst?
@badp the best when its online only
@Arperum It's so much fun. Starting from scratch is amazing.
@Frank I feel like the hair is off.
Masked Lucina still had obviously long hair, IIRC.
@SaintWacko It really is, I did end up reaching further then ever before though (I have a paragon 100 hardcore crusader now)

Q: Is the Batcave bat-friendly?

ArjunShankarIn the recent Dark Knight Trilogy, Bruce Wayne re-discovers the underground cave in his manor and then installs lights there as the first step towards building the Batcave. This leads me to the question: Are the lights and the rest of the Batcave installation bat-friendly, or does the whole setu...

@Chippies Someone at work just tried to use my mouse and complained about the sensitivity.
@OrigamiRobot your sensitivity (assuming same windows sensitivity) is twice that of mine
so that doesn't surprise me at all
18:28
Apparently it's even higher at work.
3500
my cursor has to feel like it's 1:1 to my hand movement
(it's not 1:1, but it feels like it is)
@OrigamiRobot I...think? that's where mine's at.
Whatever the max is for the G9.
@Frank what is wrong with you people
The max on mine is 8200
That's too much
I'll just assume that your windows sensitivity is not at 6/11
18:31
@Chippies It is
@Chippies Calm, precise control.
@Chippies I don't even know what that is.
@Frank control panel
@Chippies Oh, that option.
Actually, with dual monitors, 3500 feels sluggish on the horizontal
18:32
At home, I have no idea what it's set to.
I just cranked it up at work to max.
@OrigamiRobot I can see that being a thing
@Frank 6/11 is the most accurate setting, because there's no added acceleration
if you have the option to change the dpi of the mouse, there's no reason why you shouldn't have it set to 6/11
@Chippies Oh, at position 6, you say?
@Frank yep
the very middle one
I'll check to see what it is at home.
Pretty sure I haven't fudged that at all.
Oh, hey. My mouse goes up to 5000 dpi.
I don't know if that's what I have it set to, though.
@TimStone Clearly they need more Dora questions to occupy them.
18:35
I think so
Dora explores the IT Department?
At least 20 people updated that Batman question.
At least 20 people are high-functioning morons.
@Sterno Do you mean upvoted?
@Sterno Yeah, I'd say at least 20
Probably tons more than 20, but at least 20
18:45
@Frank It's times like this when I wish I knew Japanese
@Batophobia Localization has been confirmed.
Then I may need to look into getting a PS3
Yakuza 5 will finally be coming to the west on PS3 as a download. MUCH EXCITEMENT.
@Batophobia It's also coming out on Vita, so another way to play it on the TV is to buy the PS TV.

Veritas025Ok so when you throw a snowball I have /execute @e[type=Snowball] /setblock ~ ~-1 ~ minecraft:ice' So this makes an ice path following under the snowball.

Q: multiple players Mario Kart 8

user94242I purschased Mario Kart 8 for wiiu for my three children for christmas. Before I wrap it I want to know will they all be able to race aganist each other at the same time.

18:50
@Frank Does PS TV require you to have a Vita?
@Batophobia Nope.
It's technically a Vita itself. Just without a screen.
It doesn't appear to be on the list of games for PS TV but maybe that's just because it's not released yet
@Batophobia Is Hollow Fragment in that list?
@Frank no
Nope.
It still works, though.
18:53
And so it has come to this
Just takes a bit of fudging to make it happen.
Ya know @Frank, at this resolution with your icon, it looks like a ^ pointing to the dinky icon above it :D
@James If you don't like it, talk to @Jin. He made it for me.
@Wipqozn Of course I mean upvoted. Only a complete Batman-question-upvoter would think I actually meant updated.
@Sterno This question has thrown you into a furious rage!
I hope @Sterno doesn't do something crazy and delete his SciFi account.
18:56
I don't think the trilogy establishes anywhere that Batman gives a shit about the bats. Maybe I should ask a question about that.
If anything, the trilogy indicates that he hates and fears bats.
For all we know, Batman pops their heads off for stress relief.
@Sterno or to show his superiority
he's basically the dictator of bats
Diablo 3 people, can you collect multiple Greater Rift Keystones?
Er, Keystones of Trials
Also, anyone want to do some D3?
@SaintWacko Yes.
19:11
@Frank Alright, good
@TimStone siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh
I had more than 100 at one point.
They start getting in the way, tbh.
@SaintWacko Once the new season starts I'll be leveling up to 70 yet again.
@StrixVaria When is that?
@SaintWacko No date announced yet, but season 2 is live on the test server.
Oh, wow, okay
19:20
I'm the only one who doesn't care about seasons, aren't I?
New Seasons items?
@Frank Looks like it :P
@Frank Season 2 is not too interesting, really. Not a lot of new features, a few new items.
Also, got my first Vault yesterday
It was awesome :D
I just want the transmogs, which require you get to level 70 but nothing more than that.
Vaults are awesome.
That Season 1 Monk weapon that upped the number of stacks Sweeping Wind can contain was the only thing I was interested in.
I have yet to find any vaults.
19:24
I'm really enjoying my Crusader, too
My whole build is build around getting enemies close to me, then destroying them
I feel like I could replace Falling Sword with something else, but I'm not sure what
Also, it's nice in greater rifts to be able to jump over annoying packs of enemies
@StrixVaria Is the main thing the new rarity?
@Frank but the transmog set!

Q: How to attack defending balloons?

CeleritasI was attacking an enemy base and in their Clan Castle they had Balloons. My barbarians got their ass kicked. How can you attack the balloons in battle?

I just want to get home and play Elite :(
I saved up a ton of money to buy a railgun and was instantly disappointed with it
More accurately, I was disappointed in my ability to use it

LEGENDARY FIGHT WITH SHIA LABEOUF
@OrigamiRobot new rarity?
@SaintWacko Ancient Legendary
~Running for your life, from Shia LeBouf~ ~Coming at you with a knife, Shia LeBouf~ ~Actual Cannibal, Shia Lebouf~
@OrigamiRobot Oh, right
Wonderful parody song. By an artist who did one about Christian Bale ruining your house party
19:47
why is the bridge so infatuated with shia lebouf
Because @spugsley found that video first like 2 months ago, then @ElfSlice found it and now @Sterno found it like yesterday
Some youtube video I've successfully avoided.
It is a catchy song.
the video in question is like 5 years old
I'd listen to it on MP3
No. The video in question is a few months old.
19:49
Not only are there MP3s but I believe there are remixes on Soundcloud.
The original is several years old
There was no original video. There was an original song in 2012
19:50
I guess "2" counts as "several"
qualifies as several
BOOM
That chart is slightly different for collecting software requirements.
'A few changes' means 'anywhere from 2x to 5x the original time value'
@OrigamiRobot I don't even remember. I read the list of planned changes and went "meh" to all of them. I'll get the transmog and then play until I'm bored of my new character and then stop.
A couple changes means 'Complete redesign and total change in scope'
Probably a Crusader.
19:55
@Wipqozn's mom is a crusader.
Ugh, I want a joystick but they're all either too fancy or not fancy enough
