Q: Help Me identify This Game Older Strategy game

Leigha RoyYou play as a yellow egg shape, and you have to search for keys in each level, but they are always hard to get to. You aren't able to jump, but there are always obstacles in your way. Its almost like a maze, but you are able to push obstacles. In some levels there are cannons and buttons you need...

Q: What do the G, L and E avatar attributes mean?

sjohnstonWhen selecting an avatar, a small descriptive blurb scrolls across the bottom of the screen. At the end of each blurb, three attributes seem to be displayed: G (integer), L (integer) and E (percentage). As far as I can tell, these aren't explained anywhere in-game. What does each letter stand fo...

Ugh. 8pm rolls around and YouTube slows to a crawl.
High-def videos are considerably less exciting when they take 4 times their length to buffer.

2:31 AM
Lonesome Road is a very interesting DLC.
Possibly the most Obsidian thing I've seen in a long time.
Wordy, dense, literary, and intent on shoving your formerly anonymous character into a specific history that fits it's narrative.
 
3:03 AM
argh.
arrrrrrgh
 
3:13 AM
did you find the grail?
 
Huh, Valve accidentally pushed a new item schema update today. Then rolled it back.
Be prepared for a new update on Thursday.
 
No one finds the grail.
 
I think the Pyro's Conscience is funny. Basically it's two dolls that sit on the Pyro's shoulders.
Valve ALSO accidentally push the Widowmaker and Tomislav changes with said update, which surprised people on my server (Tomislav Heavies suddenly had 250 health after a map change)
Also added are Photo Badge, ID Badge, Stampable Medal, which have a "can_customize_texture": true, attribute.
So, you can create and add custom textures to items.
The Medic Stethscope, Dr's Mirror and Physician's face mask would go so well together.
 
3:32 AM
HOLY CRAP, Valve added the first paintable weapon to the Beta... the Cow Mangler is now paintable.
Maybe now I'll have my Golden Gun! :D
Also, the Misc items now have types, of which you can only have one of each type equipped: "hat", "face", "glasses", "ears", "beard", "shirt", "medal", "arms", "back", "feet", "heavy_pocket", "engineer_belt", "engineer_pocket", "scout_necklace", "sniper_necklace", "scout_backpack", "demoman_bombs", "medic_pocket", and "medic_necklace"
I know this was implied before, but now they have area names.

So the memory's fine and the hard drives are fine. What else would cause my computer to restart before loading any operating systems/grub?
This is frustrating.
Well, not really. But I am getting tired.
 
5:28 AM
@Powerlord Why would heavy_pocket, medic_pocket etc be different types?
Can't you just have one pocket and be done with it?

Q: What's the most efficient way to fill a rectangle with water?

Dan RasmussenGiven a 1-deep n by m rectangle, what are they fewest number of bucket loads that can be used to completely fill it with source blocks? Given the way water propagates, what's the most efficient sequence to fill the rectangle with? Is this sequence different if trying to fill a square?

 
7:33 AM
@ArdaXi So they can make items which only would fit a medic's model (allowed_slots:medic_pocket), only the heavy's model (allowed_slots:heavy_pocket) or both (allowed_slots:(medic_pocket,heavy_pocket)).
 
Finally a TAS for a game I recall playing

Hi! Does anybody know what is the soundtrack on the game GIRP?
 
@Trufa Dunno, I fell when it started :P
 
@badp hehe exatly my problem, I know that melody from somewhere but I only live long enough for the first to 3 strokes :)
 
@Powerlord Yes, but classes:medic,slots:pocket is no different from classes:medic,slots:medic_pocket.
 
> IT’S ORIGINAL. WELL, I SAY THAT, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT’S JUST THREE CHORDS, AND I’M SURE THEY’VE BEEN USED BEFORE IN THIS SEQUENCE A MILLION TIMES.
 
2:59 PM
@badp thanks!! I'll take a look, but what I pasted above is the creators response on his blog
 
Just saying, he does mean it - it's just those three notes
 
I don't get this game!
 
@badp damn he's good!!!
@RonanForman girp?
 
@RonanForman So long as you hold a button he'll try and grab and then hold the grab on the labeled ring
You can use shift for a... er... google translate suggests 'cock stroke' but that's likely not what I mean
 
Hold left mouse button to try and get some momentum, or just drag yourself up.
... or shift, yes.
 
3:05 PM
Yeah, Google seems to suggest that 'cock stroke' is not a term that is typical in general athletics
 
Err, to flex your muscles really.
 
(What I meant is 'colpo di reni')
 
That's exactly what it translates to in Dutch as well.
 
...rene = kidney
 
Kidney shot?
 
3:08 PM
Why are we hitting people in the kidney?
 
Last sentence of it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colpo_di_reni through Google Translate for lazyness:
@GraceNote > The term "kidney shot" is also used figuratively to indicate a short and intense effort, or a sudden dart with which you can reach over an obstacle or a last minute goal that seemed to have been missed.
 
By what I can decipher from the Wikipedia article, you really just want to use "flex muscles".
@GraceNote Fun.
 
Adreneline rush
 
What are we trying to describe here?
 
Second wind
 
3:10 PM
if you just try and get "colpo di reni" through Google Translate it says "cock stroke."
 
@badp ...bwuh
 
@John I think, while very similar, that term kinda requires there to be a first attempt
 
@GraceNote A pull-up.
 
Okay, so I thought I understood, then @Arda made me confused again.
 
@grace "first wind" just doesn't quite have the same ring to it. :P
 
3:11 PM
Attempting to describe what happens when you tap shift in GIRP
 
@GraceNote It's a game in which you can grab rings to go upwards. By pressing ctrl/shift/clicking, you flex your arm muscles and pull yourself up.
 
Oh, one of those muscular games
 
The guy is stuck hanging onto a letter and won't stop :(
 
@FallenAngelEyes He will as soon as you let go of that key. :)

maybe it's a bug with pausing

Posted by Jin Yang on September 27th, 2011

I’m very thrilled to announce that Sean Gallagher is joining us as an Art Director. He will be working out of our New York HQ.

OK, that’s not Sean. This is Sean.

The process of finding Sean did remind me of  the movie Seven Samurai, where the villagers were looking for aids. I’ve been looking for design help for a while. Besides excellent web design skills, Sean also has great experience in strategy, conceptual and communications design ranging all media from one-offs to brand campaigns. I believe he’ll be a great asset, especially since we’ve started creating a lot more design materials to promote our Stack Exchange 2.0 sites. …

 
Woot! Now maybe someone will work on our lasers!
 
@TheStackExchangeBlog Awww. but I was doing that!
 
@Ronan I'm sure they won't mind if you make lasers that everyone likes.
 
3:44 PM
I totally imagine Sean coming here saying lazers ave totally demodè and clichè, we should really aim for phazerz
 
@badp I never really understood any difference between lasers and phasers.
 
I think we need disruptors instead.
 
@John I think that's a very context-dependent definition, though I speak from the assumption that "phasers" don't have a real-world definition to go by.
 
Oh, and I'm definitely not scrolling this up just to get the video thumbnail that looks like it has the naked guy sitting on a couch off my screen or anything.
Considering that I'm sitting up at our front desk right now.

@Powerlord That should help, along with this message

@Wipqozn Wow that's a sexy dinosaur.
 
@ArdaXi I know! Can't take my eyes off it...

@Wipqozn SMBC Theater is so fucked up, it's great
 
4:08 PM
@FallenAngelEyes I know. Fairly awesome.
 
Hey buddies!
I just sat through the most boring two-hour lecture I've ever sat through. It was literally one and a half hours of review and then a half hour of describing what a map is.
 
@Mana I think we've all been there before :/
I normally try to carry around an assignment I can work on for lectures like that
so it's not a complete waste of time
 
@Mana Have you ever listened to 2 hours of someone talking about moths using camoflag to blend in with dissidious mapple trees?
 
@GraceNote No. No, I have not. And if anyone ever does try to talk to me about anything remotely related to that subject I will devour their souls before the first minute.
 
@GraceNote that sounds fairly interesting actually, although I doubt I could sit through 2 hours of it.
 
4:17 PM
@Wipqozn Reread the sentence without interjecting the correct words.
 
@GraceNote Oh. Ohhhhhhhhhh.
 
@GraceNote I understand what it means. Depending on what was actually discussed about the subject, I think it would be a fairly interesting lecture. Although 2 hours of it could probably be overkill.
I'm a strange fellow.
 
@Wipqozn But...think of the mapple trees!!
(I think you're still injecting the correct words Wip)
 
Yay, I've got mail. :D
 
@Mana oh, that could be it.
In that case, I really don't know what to make of that sentence.
 
4:21 PM
> Turn shirt inside out before washing.
 
@ArdaXi Is this a rare occasion?
 
Now they tell us.
@Wipqozn From SE? Yes.
 
@ArdaXi ah okay
 
@ArdaXi lrn2suit
 
Also, excuse me while I eat.
 
4:22 PM
specifically dress shirt
 
@Mana I wouldn't make a big fuss out of it if the professor didn't strongly insist that she lacked an accent, and if she couldn't pronounced archaeopteryx perfectly fine.
 
@Mana @FallenAngelEyes had issue with hers.
 
@GraceNote Wait, was the professor the one talking about mapple trees or was she?
 
@Mana Yes, she was the one talking about dissidious mapple trees
 
@ArdaXi Yeah, I forgot to turn it inside out too.
 
4:29 PM
wears StackOverflow shirt
Gotta wear 'em all!
I wonder if now anyone will recognise it. SO is the far better-known of the bunch, after all.
 
CollegeHumor is obsessed with this 'hover hand' phenomenon I've literally never heard of.
 
@RonanForman It...it works.
@ArdaXi I can imagine you doing the hover hand.
 
@Mana I don't.
I'm actually pretty confident in real life.
 
4:38 PM
Aww.
 
Why aww?
 
Hover hand? O_o
 
I cannot imagine why anyone would do that.
 
Maybe they took the photo too soon...
 
No. This is an actual thing guys do.
 
4:44 PM
I mean with that specific one.
 
Still doubt it.
 
Judging by his facial expression he was still moving.
Unless he actually smiles like that.
 
It's an insecurity thing.
 
@RonanForman He probably does.
Hang on, let me check this.
 
hi ther
 
4:48 PM
Oh, I do do this.
Well, I did two years ago, which is the most recent picture I have of myself with anyone else in it.
 
I'm pretty sure it's not on purpose.
 
@ArdaXi Why anyone would actually hover their hand rather than fully place their arm around someone?
:2034974 More or less
 
Then again, I lost a lot of insecurity the past year or so.
So it might be due to that.
 
2 mins ago, by Mana
It's an insecurity thing.
 
@Wipqozn As I already said, more or less.
 
@RonanForman How useful.

@GraceNote your comment was a reply to something Arda said though, not mana.
 
@RonanForman Because it is a link to itself.
When I posted it, its ID did not exist yet.
 
Can it not box the link.
 
@Wipqozn Arda quoted the exact same line. In the exact same fashion
 
@RonanForman No.

@RonanForman Not if the message didn't exist yet

@GraceNote Like I said, the message was deleted so I never seen it.
 
@GraceNote Probably, yeah.
 
@Wipqozn Which is why I've told you what was in it. I acknowledge why you wrote what you wrote, but that doesn't mean I can't tell you what I originally responded to.
 
@GraceNote Except your emphasis on already led me to believe I should have known what you were replying to, even though I couldn't have given the message was deleted.
 
@Wipqozn Which is why I explained it afterwards, when you noted that the message was deleted.

Summer Glau, yes.

@Powerlord Who?
Oh, female terminator? I never watched that show.
 
@Wipqozn River Tam. Crazy girl on Firefly.
 
@Powerlord oh, never watched that either
happy I didn't, considering it was cancelled due to being a quality piece of television
fox wouldn't want that
better just let seth mcfarlane make copy, after copy of family guy
 
@Wipqozn So wait, you're happy you didn't see a show that was high quality?
 
@Powerlord considering it was cancelled, and I probably would be suffering like everyone else who got excited for the show only to take it away, yes
 
@Wipqozn You know they made a motion picture based on it?
|runtime = 119 minutes |country = |language = English |budget = $39 million |gross = $38,869,464 |preceded_by = FireflyThose Left Behind }} Serenity is a 2005 space western film written and directed by Joss Whedon. It is a continuation of the short-lived 2002 Fox science fiction television series Firefly, taking place after the events of the final episode. Set in 2518, Serenity is the story of the captain and crew of a cargo ship. The captain and first mate are veterans of the Unification War, having fought on the losing side. Their lives of petty crime are interrupted by a psychic ...
 
5:12 PM
@Powerlord I'm aware, which is why I plan to get around to watch it at some point
but happy I didn't do it at the time, and suffer for a few years
 
@Powerlord I saw Serenity in theatres but I didn't watch Firefly til last year
 
Any TV series Summer Glau works on gets canceled shortly after
Unless she's just a guest star.
 
@CymonsGames If item 1 has 10 uses left, and item 2 has 10 uses left, you'll end up with something like 25 uses in the final product.
This doesn't make sense. Why would I have two of the same item, both equally worn out?
 
@Wipqozn Personally, though cancelling may mean no more, usually that can often be a good thing.
 
@badp Short attention span.
 
5:20 PM
@GraceNote I will agree with you there. Many shoes live long past there prime. Look at The Office. That's been rather terrible since season 6.
 
Whhoooaaaaahhhh.

@Wipqozn I think you stepped in something there.

Molten Rammus is on sale now
 
@badp I find myself with half used picks all the time.
Getting an extra inventory slot out of that would be nice!
 
@John ...how?
The way I do it is, make a pick, use it, break it, collect some more dirt or gravel, go back home, make new pick, return
It might be that the trip back is about one minute
 
@badp Use one, don't really want to break it and you have a spare, so you just start using it. It isn't the most logical course of action but, eh.
 
user30
@badp Or make multiple picks for a longer mining spree
 
yes, but use them one by one...
although I could see the case to change my behaviour if I can squeeze out more uses from both
 
5:29 PM
my backspace button isn't working in TF2...
 
Ah, but now, if you combine two picks with 10 uses each, you get 25 uses!
 
@Wipqozn Get a new keyboard.
 
Maybe it's to encourage some kind of weird, non-logical partial utility usage behavior use.
 
I know I'm going to!
