Q: Rename [bootcamp] → [boot-camp]

CyberSkullApple's Boot Camp is two words, so I'd like to request that the tag bootcamp be renamed boot-camp.

00:51
Eeeh, do we really need a tag?
@FallenAngelEyes No, probably not
It just seems... ew. I dunno. Too meta I guess, for my taste?
I don't think it benefits anyone to be able to fave/ignore all questions with a tag...
So, Arkham City has an achievement that, if you do it legitimately, takes almost a year to complete? :\
@Powerlord Yeeep
Ok, sleeptime, someone kill with fire while I doze!

@FallenAngelEyes Done.

Q: How are each of the Dynasty Weapons obtained in Heroes VI?

Raven DreamerJudging by the achievements, there should be at least 25 of these things, but I'm not sure how to get more than a handful of them. How does one unlock the various dynasty weapons?

Q: Dungeon Defenders - not picking items and mana?

ThePiachuIn Dungeon Defenders, what happens to items and mana that are not picked between waves and at the end of the level? Are they sold off and divided into player's mana bank, or are they just lost? Is it explained somewhere explicitly?

Q: Why is the head of my custom skin white?

JoshI made a skin for MineCraft and when I went to use it the head was all white. Every time I try to make a skin this happens. What do I do I've tried countless skin editors and always end up with a white head. First I made a skin, then I install it, next I start MineCraft, then I go in my inventor...

Look at the original revision.
I needed to show that to someone.
I feel better now.
@Wipqozn What?
You approved that edit?
And then rolled it back?
@John I rolled it back to yours
You realize that's what the "reject" button is for, right?
His edit was an improvement over the original, and none of the reject edit reasons is acceptable to this situation.
@Wipqozn I picked "Invalid Edit", then learned you had already approved it.
01:43
I don't recall seeing "Invalid Edit"
@Wipqozn Second from the top.
what was the description?
@Wipqozn "This edit is incorrect or an attempt to reply to this post."
@John and it is neither
I thought it fell under the "incorrect" heading.
IMHO, he introduced as many grammar problems as he fixed.
01:45
@John It was an improvement over the original post, so it is not incorrect.
@Wipqozn Was he editing the original revision or my revision? The revision history seems to indicate he was editing mine. In that case, it should've been an improvement over mine to be acceptable, right?
original revision
@Wipqozn Oh, that's reasonable then. BTW, how can you tell?
The diff it showed me was comparing it to mine.
@John When you look at the suggestion, it shows you what it is being compared to.
@John I must have clicked it right before your one took priority .
@Wipqozn Ah ok. That all makes sense now. Thanks for explaining yourself. Any word on whether you can do MC tomorrow?
01:48
@John I can't
at all this week in fact
@Wipqozn :(

@Lazers -_-
@John How did you know I approved the edit anyways?
Was unaware it showed you
01:51
@Wipqozn There's still one thing I don't understand. My edit was in place for 8 whole minutes before his was submitted. I've done a good deal of suggesting edits, and it would've shown him my revision to be edited...
They all show anyone.
@John I don't know, maybe it was just a bug.
02:12
@John He could've started the edit 9+ minutes before submission
02:30
@GraceNote True. I forgot about that case.

Q: What's the point of the watch timer?

Matthew ReadOne of the "power ups" in Worms Crazy Golf is a watch that has 10 seconds on it. If you click it after you've hit the ball, everything slows down. As far as I can tell, that's all it does. Everything plays out normally, just slower. Is there a point to this? Something I can do while time is ...

jpreteDoes anyone know of an actual useful and comprehensive list of the on-the-field controls for Madden NFL '12? A simple (but complete!) list of buttons and what they do would be rather nice. The in-game manual is awful, and my google-fu is not helping.

@FallenAngelEyes Perhaps you should tell him that, instead of having him continue to make the same mistakes.

@MartinSojka good point
Like I said, we should burninate , not make it a synonym, like @FallenAngelEyes said we should. Crazy fallen.
@Wipqozn Well, is a synonym for , so in that way, it's kind of already burninated in that any attempted use will be turned into the tag
and I deleted the single use of that Cyberskull edited in
@FallenAngelEyes god dammit fallen :/ You just like ruining my day. I was the one who suggested we make it a synonym, you said burn it, et cetera

Funny fact of the day: There are more players of on the History.SE chat than on the Gaming.SE chat (... at least, that I know of :)).
Nifty. I own that game (steam sale), keep meaning to play it.

@MartinSojka Never played that series, though I hear it's good

FallenAngelEyesI'm getting pretty close to being able to trace the call for the sidequest Cold Call Killer. However, I was wondering if it was possible to fail the trace?

@MartinSojka clan for...?
Ku Klux Klan!?!?!?! My word @Martin! Don't come talking about your racist activities in here.
@Wipqozn Lineage II. As a clan leader, I posted a thread with the topic "Clan's plans for Goddess of Destruction" (the upcoming update) ... and the content "... coming soon. Stay tuned. ;)"
@MartinSojka You're really pushing the envelope there
@Wipqozn They'll deal with it or I'll PK them. ;)

So, Steam is awful. And I am about ready to strangle it. Through Twitter, of course.
Shouldn't that be a comma, not a period?

either that or:
> So, Steam is awful. I am about ready to strangle it. Through Twitter, of course.
oh wow, Sir John A. McDonald looks quite a bit like Charles dickens
This list comprises widespread modern beliefs about English language usage that are documented by a reliable source to be inaccurate or untrue. Perceived usage and grammar violations elicit visceral reactions in many people. For example, respondents to a 1986 BBC poll were asked to submit "the three points of grammatical usage they most disliked". Participants stated that their noted points " 'made their blood boil', 'gave a pain to their ear', 'made them shudder', and 'appalled' them". But not all commonly-held usage violations are errors; many are only perceived as such. With no...

Q: F.E.A.R 2 freezing issues when on loading screen

12:24
@MartinSojka I'm aware, but I believe this is a case where a commas is required.
I'd chalk it up under "stylistic choice". A quick search finds a recent quote from that guy who is back to being known as Prince to that effect ("And I am music."), for example.

Q: What is a good spot to farm souls before going agains Depth boss?

Sylvain DefresneI've beaten the Capra Demon and the Church Gargoyle and now intend to go down into the Depth. I'm wondering what is a good place to level up before going against the boss.

@ArdaXi Actually, the level data is in the bottom row. The other stuff is just a screen shot. :)
@ArdaXi Yeah. You can edit the image all you want too, as long as you leave the barcode alone.
@MartinSojka That's what I meant.
Rather inefficient.
13:10
Anyway, it's currently only got 4 rooms, one of which is completely empty, and only one of which actually has any enemies in it.
But I think it's going to be pretty cool.
@ArdaXi I don't think efficiency in terms of space used was the main concern.
@MartinSojka Performance too.
I think having the screenshot in the image was part of the idea.
@ArdaXi I would have agreed with you ... if it was a C64 game.
@MartinSojka Depends on how big levels get.
13:15
Is anyone going to try it, or are you just going to talk about it.
The bigger the levels, the less it matters that there is some thumbnail in the level save file.
Eh ... I think my boss might be not amused, Gnome. :)
Well, if you get a break, check it out, it's still very very short.
I think I'm off to a good start though.
Man
however mediocre DCUO may be as a game, I still think its opening cinematic is fantastic
@FallenAngelEyes DCUO?

Ah, a Humble Bundle game. Sounds interesting.

Q: Game with tanks that you thow stuff over at the other tank

DalexLA couple of years ago, I played a friends game for the DS. The game involved exploring around and solving situations. It was a 3rd person game. I remember there would be battles or something but you would have a tank and they would too. You would have to go and throw stuff out the window at t...

Check it out, if you would. :P
It's really really short right now.
So, @badp picked up Evil Genius?
user30
Yeah, I'll probably have a look later though
@Powerlord Yep.
user30
going to have some lunch and hack on a couple of side projects
14:16
@Lazers @badp The sad part is, I don't actually know the answer to this.
It's actually easy, I'm self answering
What, did you have it on Yellow/Red alert or something?
No, the punching bag needs an empty square behind it as well
Evil Genius didn't strike me as particularly interesting. I couldn't get a good feel of what sort of game it was from the description.
I dunno, it's one of those "where did my last 6 hours go" games
14:19
@GnomeSlice More or less, you build a base for your Evil Genius and produce different types of troops while you send your minions out into the world to steal stuff to advance the plot along.
If you've played Dungeon Keeper or DUNGEONS, there are a lot of similarities.
@Powerlord So... Mastermind?
@GnomeSlice This is going to really shock you, but... that site is blocked from here.
Try it now.
Although, if it's the game I'm thinking of, Evil Genius is a lot more elaborate than that. It helps that you gain access to a research lab partway through the game.
@Powerlord Are you thinking of the one by Michael Swain? Try the link again, I changed it.
14:23
It's funny all the different traps you can build to stop agents from finding the more secure parts of your base.
However, the more agents you kill, the more agents they send, and they tend to send higher level agents (saboteurs, etc...)
So, most of the time, you want to distract the agents for long enough until they leave.
@Powerlord I didn't really feel like I knew much about the game after reading the description on Steam.
@GnomeSlice Well, when I said build your base, it's actually inside a mountain, and you have to build everything, right down to the hallways, doors, etc...
@Powerlord That sounds a little DF to me.
@Powerlord You should try King Arthur's Gold.
Evil Genius's more glaring problem is the constant need to switch between building things in your base (and preventing agents from finding things) and the World Map screen where you minions are stealing stuff/plotting research.
You need to flip to the World Map screen, because if you don't, the various defense agencies around the world kill your minions.
(There's a Hide option for minions, but it's temporary)
14:28
@Powerlord Mastermind: World Conqueror just does cutscenes for the missions your minions go on. This sounds more like something that would be easier to play cooperatively with someone else.
@badp: btw, the version of Evil Genius on Steam is the original 1.0 version, not the 1.1 bugfix or the 1.2 fan-created patch. I seem to recall a thread on the Steam forum for Evil Genius with an update to 1.2
Are the bugs fixed in 1.1 major?
I linked to it for @FallenAngelEyes if you really want to search the forum history.
@badp Some are crash bugfixes, but the major one is that the Research button will sometimes disappear when you load a game (and never come back, forcing you to start the game from the beginning again).
Oh, and the lack of day/night cycle if you played the Tutorial then the game proper never did get patched.
yeah, day/night cycles are looking weird
btw am I ever going to get a larger mountain than this?
@badp Yes.
14:31
because I'm at chapter 2 and already feeling cramped.
@Powerlord Phew.
I think you have to move to the second island to start Chapter 5.
or was it Chapter 4.
Meh, you'll know when it happens because you have to actually choose to switch.
Is this question a duplicate? If not, I'm going to answer it, but @Mana suggested it might be a dupe.

@John Can you have your youtube name, I want to show you the video to see if the quality's okay.
@RonanForman Can't you just post it here?
@John I think it is.

@RonanForman I am themusicman1993.
@GnomeSlice I don't want DMA, Wipqozn or Marco to see it yet.

@John I COME FROM DOWN YOUR WAY.
@GnomeSlice ???
AAAAND III CAAAAN PLAAAAYYYYYYYYY

@GnomeSlice ??? ???
@RonanForman Yeah, we don't want them to know our strategy until after we finish.
@GnomeSlice -_-
But I do play the piano...
@John I used to. Anyway, it's a song I remember from summer camps.
No sax, though.
And the guy used to always say it like that.
I used to play piano, and I played saxophone, trombone, and percussion in high school.
I played piano for like 7 years when I was younger. Can't play it at all any more.
14:43
Searches for way to change YouTube name
I wasn't actually that good.
@GnomeSlice 7 years and you forgot it all?
@John Forget ALL the songs!
@GnomeSlice Isn't that like, half your life?
@John Well, I still remember most of the theory.
And it was probably more like 6 years, and when I was really young.
14:44
@John Closer to a third.
@GnomeSlice That's the part most likely to help you later in life, anyway.
@John Not quite, I'm 19.
@John I could never play anything on the piano on my own anyway, I needed to memorize the song, and then stare at my hands or I'd miss.
@GnomeSlice You poor thing. That must've been hard.
As I said, I wasn't very good.
If I have no music, I can't look at my hands or I'll totally mess up.
14:46
I used to sing, too.
@GnomeSlice Ok, are you trolling me now?
@John I was in the children's choir at my church.
I got to do a lot of the solos, because I was really good.
I can't sing at all any more, since my voice dropped. =[
@GnomeSlice Awesome! I'm a tenor.
@GnomeSlice :( I know a lot of people like that.
@GnomeSlice Hey everybody! Gnomeslice is a castrate!
I used to do complimentary harmonies by accident during the songs.
14:48
@RonanForman >:( Not nice.
@GnomeSlice I do that too!
@GnomeSlice Don't ruin this for me!
We'd stop the rehearsal and the lady would be like "Who was doing that?".
I got in trouble for my 3-part harmony last week. >.>
And everyone said it was me.
@GnomeSlice The kid next to me got blamed. :P

@GnomeSlice Put corks in your ears.
@RonanForman Doesn't work. That would only make it worse, because the issue is that the pressure doesn't equalize for me.

@Powerlord 2 stars in 19 seconds. What's the record for that?
