hmm, my phone camera seems to be broken. bollocks.
 
user30
it was never any good anyway.
 
Yeesh, someone mentioned that TF2's Charmer's Chapeau looks best with Le Party Phantom, so I suddenly started looking up if I could trade my Unusual Fancy Fedora for one... facepalm
(Of course, I was looking for one with a better effect)

Q: How do you get Beedle's airship to stop?

user40062There doesn't seem to be a feasible way to ring the bell on the bottom of Beedle's airship. It seems it might be possible to stab a pumpkin and throw it at the bell or lift up a pot and throw it. The main problem is aiming, it does not seem obvious how the player is supposed to aim.

Q: How can I ensure I have a better magicka regeneration rate during combat?

EmanueleMy magicka depletes quite fast during fights (playing full mage). Are there any suggestions you can give me? Is there any talent to increase magicka regeneration rate?

Q: Well Fitted/Custom Fit armor perks: If the armor type of the shield is different, will it affect these perks?

galacticninjaI recently did Peryite's quest and got this really bad-ass shield, Spellbreaker. However, its armor type is Heavy and I concentrated my armor perks on the Light Armor perk tree, and this includes the 'Custom Fit' perk (25% Armor bonus if wearing all Light Armor). If I'm wearing all Light Armor, ...

Q: Using a laptop as the monitor for a console

JonnI'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but here goes: How can you use the laptop monitor as the visuals for a console? I only have a Wii to test it with. I'm not very good with hardware so any step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated (if it's hard to set up).

 
@ThomasMcDonald It'll last for 24 hours.

@ThomasMcDonald that actually looks good.
 
@Thom Did you see the opening video for minecon?

@Rona no

Bloody hell that's decent
 
He pronounced beta wrong.
 
given what you've told us, @RonanForman, it appears they had 5 minutes to do each video
 
Because they're good?

Q: Games with control interface like Chou Shoujuu Mecha MG?

Vic SzpilmanChou Shoujuu Mecha MG is a japanese mech game for Nintendo DS that had about the coolest controls I've ever seen in a game. In short, each mech had it's own control panel that mimicked how it's cockpit would be for the pilot, with crazy switches and levers unique to each mech's weapons and functi...

@RonanForman for minecraft, or magicka? Because I hate magicka, so I wouldn't be playing anyways.
 
Magicka, what's game on! tonight?
 
Technically it's D.I.P.R.I.P. Warm Up, but playing Magicka seems like a great idea
 
Okay.
 
To be honest Game on! has fallen apart, so I'm not that concerned with it until I have time to get it restructured with a new system that makes people want to play more.
 
1:51 PM
 
So if anyone comes up with a game they would like to do... and everyone wants to play it... that's great news in my book
 
Tomorrow is the release date for Skyward Sword, although apparently some people already have it, seeing as how a question already appeared on the site.
 
@Powerlord Those bastards
if I don't have it, no one is allowed to have it! I'm me!
...and that question already has an answer
my word
Also, since I was just talking about the problems of Game on!...
 
@Powerlord want to play magicka?
 
any feedback on this post is appreciated

Q: Restructuring Game on

WipqoznGame On! has been running into some issues. The turn out has been low, and I've received several request to restructure the current system. The main issue raised is that users dislike the large number of games currently on the list. Due to this we wind up playing a game once, and not coming bac...

 
2:06 PM
@ThomasMcDonald Really now? Allow me to go through any of your questions/answers I haven't up voted and up vote any I think deserve one
 
@RonanForman I don't own Magicka.
(and I don't plan on buying it)
 
It's on a free weekend.
 
@Powerlord It's free this weekend
 
"Powerlord, why don't you plan on buying it, since it's 75% off?"
Because it doesn't sound interesting to me, and I have a game backlog that's like 100 games long.
 
@Powerlord Not asking you to buy, they are just saying is free to play this weekend, and if we changed Game ON! to magicka for today would you play
I personally wouldn't suggest buying it, since I think the game is terrible. A lot of folks enjoy it though.

2:18 PM
@Wipqozn yay.
 
I didn't enjoy the demo, but that's because if I died I restarted the whole thing.

Q: Unhindered perk : *all* light armour?

Kevin DWith the Unhindered Light Armour perk does it mean only the armour you are wearing has no weight, or all light armour you are carrying ie your loot from the latest battle.

 
@ThomasMcDonald Whoops, I accidentally flagged it as Spam instead of Offensive.
 
user30
@Powerlord gj.
 
2:35 PM
@Powerlord Ultimate goal is the same, though. I don't think it'll mar results
Funny enough, that user input that question as the "website" entry on their profile
 
user30
^ probably wants exterminating
 
user30
or that
 
@GraceNote Really? It only shows me 17 as the question in the profile.
 
@Powerlord The full entry is the full one. Not sure why it isn't clickable
 
@Ullallulloo It's not that.
 
2:41 PM
@GnomeSlice Want to play magicka tonight?
 
I don't own it.
=[
Though it looks like fun.
 
It's on a freeweekend.
I don't own it either.
 
I wouldn't be able to download it.
Anyway, you guys really need to try Nitronic Rush.
 
Why?
To either of those posts.
 
Slow internet, my Steam computer probably wouldn't run it, and it's a lot of fun, and free.
Also, ಠ_ಠ at the starred list.
@ThomasMcDonald Wh... what?
@ThomasMcDonald I lol'd when I hovered over the gravatar and got the username.
@Wipqozn When is Tankball?

so I really want to get an Ushanka

@ThomasMcDonald Get a beardo instead.
 
user30
wat They're only decent for skiing though
 
@ThomasMcDonald Is it sad I thought you were talking about TF2?
 
2:51 PM
 
@Powerlord It would be, but this is you we're talking about.
 
user30
You'd look like an idiot if you didn't have ski goggles on
 
@Powerlord Probably not.
 
user30
@Powerlord Yeah, you should probably get help for that.
 
@Powerlord I'd laugh and say you were predictable except I did think he was talking about TF2, also.
 
2:52 PM
Or, get the new version with a bendable moustache.
 
@badp So you are joining us for magicka then?
 
Officer's Ushanka is a TF2 Heavy hat... but TF2 doesn't really have anything Trenchcoat-y.

Q: Convert default/offline to online profile?

Q: How can I improve my aim on Urban Terror?

Roland TaylorI would love to be able to get better shots on Urban Terror (fun but frustrating game). My mouse is a wee bit slow it seems (bad surface, not so much bad mouse, though ofc the mouse is wired and that causes problems). I am not looking for an aimbot. When I shoot it sometimes seems like half my sh...

Q: Dragon shouts - how to find locations in-game?

And also, do multiple shouts share some words? I don't even know which exist, but say, is Fus used in other shoults than Unre...

Q: What are the consequences of running over pedestrians?

user30
@Lazers Excellent title. Upvote.
 
2:57 PM
Sorry @oak, but that title has every word that matters from a googlability standpoint.
 
@Lazers One of my favourite, and by favourite I mean "The hell, Rockstar?", parts of L.A. Noire was when traffic would make a left-hand turn from the right-hand lane, causing me to t-bone them.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I lol'd.
 
user30
@TimStone Is it worth the buy?
 
user30
been looking at it
 
I thought it was pretty decent. Would have been nice if it was less DLC-y though. :/
 
2:59 PM
@TimStone So what you're saying is that the drivers in L.A. Noire are from New Jersey?
 
Exactly
My determination of how long it's going to take me to get to and from work is how many Jersey license plates I see once I get on I-95.

Er... not an answer.

A: How can we improve our traction on Facebook, etc.?

GnomeSliceI think it would be ideal for us to post at least one good answer per day on the page. I know I started the page, but I'm not really up on the popular games of the day, so the other page administrators will have to help me out. One idea that came to me, was to create a chatroom for the facebook...

 
We'll keep our fingers crossed for you, heh.
 
Queens at the moment, then Nassau, then Suffolk... and once snow melts, presumably it'll be one of Bergen, Westchester and Rockland - it's just a question of the order.
 
Thoughts?
@Powerlord:
@RonanForman So, do we have any Game On! videos posted already?
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, but to avoid the other team knowing our plans I'm not going to make them public until we finish (which is planned for monday).
After that I'm thinking releasing them every other day. That will give me 10 days to get the end up.

Q: How can we improve our traction on Facebook, etc.?

fredleyCurrently our Facebook Page is pretty pitiful, a handful of likes, and almost no interaction. I think we should take a look at how we use the page, what we're trying to acheive with it, and how we can improve the 'traction' (likes, interactions, views) of the page.

What are peoples' thoughts on my answer here?

Q: Do you miss distress calls if you let your partner drive?

atticaeLetting your partner drive has obvious advantages (shorter rides, no chance to do damage). But are there any negative aspects to it? Do you for example still get the distress calls during missions?

Q: Will a Potion of Glibness increase the money I get from selling things to vendors?

Q: Does levelling up skills have any more effect than just making me level up/get perks?

victoriahI know that when I gain skills, that's kind of equivalent to gaining "xp", and at some point I'll gain another level and get to choose a perk as well as improve my magicka/health/stamina. What I want to know is, does levelling up a skill have any other effect on use of the skill itself? Like if...

 
It's okay. I think doing similar to how we use twitter would be a good start.
 
@RonanForman We already are, to about the extent we can do so automatically.
 
@GnomeSlice I like it
Like ronan said, it's definitely a good start.
Although we should try to do more with it
 
Yeah. IDK what we could do though.
 
Little late, but I've just created an event for the Frozen Synapse Tournament.
 
3:24 PM
Just a little.
 
Pft.
Better late than never.
 
@GnomeSlice that's what she said
 
If we could get some game tags sponsored that would be good. I doubt anyone would.
 
@Wipqozn That's not how it works, I'm afraid.
@RonanForman Tags?
 
@GnomeSlice Actually, yes it is.
 
3:26 PM
@Wipqozn Er... no. Longevity is a winner's quality in these circumstances.
 
@GnomeSlice Like how the android tag on SO is sponsored.
 
@GnomeSlice I'm referring to periods yo
pregnancy, et cetera
Maybe you need to retake sex-ed 101
 
@RonanForman I don't understand. It's sponsored by Google or something? What does that actually do in terms of the site though?
 
That's how SE gets it's money. Yes google have sponsored that tag.
 
@Wipqozn When is Tankball scheduled for a Game On! session?
 
3:29 PM
@RonanForman That's how it makes money! I thought the site made money due to Jeff selling the blood of children to vampires
@GnomeSlice Last week
 
Wh... really?
=[
 
Either that or the week before
 
@Wipqozn That's a side venture. There isn't enough blood to reach the market potential.
 
@RonanForman ah, okay
 
@Wipqozn If it was the week before, that was the week I was away for a funeral, so that would be why I missed it.
Gahhhhhhhhhh
How was the turnout?
 
3:31 PM
They tried getting the blood from rocks, but it didn't work out.
 
@GnomeSlice Battlefield 3 was played instead
At the request of... I think it was mana?
 
Well, that's... something.
Here's an idea:
Do you guys think SE would be willing to back a facebook advert for the page?
 
@GnomeSlice Do you want me to make a community ad for the site?
I have an idea.
 
@RonanForman Facebook doesn't do ads like that.
Sorry.
 
No, I mean an ad for our facebook page on gaming.SE
 
3:33 PM
Oh! Yes please!
This is something like what the Facebook advert would look like.
@DavidFullerton Do you think SE would be willing to fund an advert like this on facebook?
 
@GnomeSlice I think we should wait on that
Wait until we actually get the Facebook page updating on a daily basis with questions
 
@Wipqozn No, not just yet, I'm just getting the idea out there, @DavidFullerton would be the one to put the ad together anyway.
Just thinking ahead.
For what it is so far, I'm actually quite proud of the Facebook page.
I put a lot of work into setting it up. It's just kind of dead.

Q: Is there a console command for levelling the playing field between myself and children?

ArtlessIf you've been playing a decent amount of Skyrim, you may have noticed that children are annoying. Really annoying. However, while trying to bash one of the little snots into the ground to teach him some manners, I noticed that they're invulnerable to damage. Obviously, they're witches, or at th...

Suicide

Proposed Q&A site for discussing suicide

Currently in definition.

...
@RonanForman Similarly, the next time we know a Big Deal launch like Skyrim is coming, it might make sense to make a Skyrim.SE that works like Facebook.SO
 
> Really depending on the quality of advice how long will these "committed" members be around?
 
3:47 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz ... what?
 
So if that site is made, will we need to find some suicide experts?
 
I wish you could flag Area51 proposals.
 
@GnomeSlice it's funny because you can
 
I don't see any way to do so. EDIT: There it is.
 
@GnomeSlice click the flag button
 
3:52 PM
Yeah, I just found it.
 
Is there any way to get a shorter facebook link than this: http://www.facebook.com/pages/GamingStackExchange/154617661300474?sk=wall
 
Uh...
Possibly. Let me see if pages can do custom URLs too.
 
I can apparently do this: http://www.facebook.com/154617661300474
 
Give me a few minutes.
 
DIES LAUGHING
AAHAHAHAHA THE STARS
 
3:56 PM
I should probably ask @DavidFullerton about this.
 
@Mana Huzzah!
 
You can't change the username of the page once you select it.
 
GNOMESLICE. I LOVE YOU.
 
we could set up a s.tk redirect.
 
@Mana Shut up, man.
@RonanForman A what?
 
3:57 PM
@GnomeSlice s.tk/gaming
 
Where would you use that?
 
To our facebook.
We'd have to ask an employee.
 
user30
@Mana I'd probably keep that one quiet
 
I want to ask @DavidFullerton. We should probably hold off on the page username, because once you set one, you can not change it again.
 
@ThomasMcDonald Do you mean to say you don't support @mana and @gnomes relationship?
 
3:59 PM
And there was talk of finally trying to decide on a domain name for the site.
@RonanForman the page username is what allows you to have a smaller link.
 
user30
@GnomeSlice And there was talk of us finally getting game tags, but that went down the pan, didn't it?
