@GraceNote I should probably mention I have two Steam accounts

OK, files copied, verifying now via Steam to make sure I got everything.

Grace Note

7:50 PM

@Powerlord But you probably wouldn't waste money buying the same game twice for yourself, neh?

Powerlord

@GraceNote No, but since TF2 is free, you wouldn't be spending money.

stevether

I have a second account to farm items and spy on clan mates that I suspect are breaking rules.

Grace Note

@Powerlord This is correct but unfortunately doesn't factor into my opposition to using Steam.

Powerlord

Although, having said that, I've bought games singly before that I've then bought again later as part of a pack.

Example: Overlord, because it was cheaper to buy the Overlord Complete Pack than to buy Overlord: Raising Hell and Overlord II separately.

Grace Note

@Powerlord That's a bit more excuseable and not necessarily a waste.

Powerlord

7:53 PM

Oh, and of course, Valve gave me a free copy of every game they make because I got all the potatoes in the Valve ARG. Incidentally, that's where my second TF2 account came from, although I didn't actually activate it until after TF2 was free.

(paid TF2 accounts have more inventory space than free accounts, plus get random hat drops)

There's a certain irony in that buying a backpack inventory expander on a free account will bump your inventory size from 50 to 400 (50 to 300 for buying an item from the in-game store, 300 to 400 from the expander itself)

My alt account is both for farming items (like @stevether mentioned) and for extra storage space.

tf2b.com/?id=rbemrose <-- I really should trade out all my extra items

Ullallulloo

@Powerlord Is that allowed?

Powerlord

@Ullallulloo Why wouldn't it be?

Ullallulloo

@Powerlord Because you can get twice as many item drops in a week?

Powerlord

@Ullallulloo It's a second account that I "paid" for.

As long as I've paid for it, why would they care?

Ullallulloo

@Powerlord idk, just wondering.

Powerlord

8:00 PM

The most valuable items in the game aren't the ones you get randomly, but the ones you spend money on... either promo items (from other games) or unusual hats (which are a 1% chance from unboxing a crate, and it costs $2.50 to unbox a crate)

Oh, right, I didn't install last week's optional update on my servers.

I was wondering why it downloaded some files... until I ran it on my main install and it downloaded the same files there.

Anyway, some of the OCR people suggested we have a Vs. Saxton Hale game on our event server, so I'm setting up said server again. :P

@alexanderpas I found the restriction that you couldn't see into two overlapping rooms at the same time hilarious.

If you could, you'd get the Hall of Mirrors effect.

(if not an outright crash)

I actually made a Duke3D map specifically for a tournament type thingy once. I think the map was actually really terrible.

user30

oh, and my graphics drivers have crashed

Powerlord

As I recall, there was one wide open area that turned into a bunch of high speed conveyor belts if a hidden switch was flipped. There were water areas whose exits didn't have any bearing on the top side of the map (there were two rooms with water squares next to each other, but those squares went to identical, but different underwater areas)

Lets see... there was a bridge with a switch that you could press while running past to make it so the person behind you couldn't follow. I crammed a whole bunch of disjointed ideas into one map, essentially.

Oh, and Duke3D had all sorts of interesting bugs. One of my friends created a map with a cop car that was supposed to drive around (basically, it was marked as being a Subway engine) except for some reason, one edge stayed rooted in place while the rest of the car drove... which made for some very messed up visuals.

Q: Marvel vs Capcom 3 (MVC3): 2-Player Training or Infinite Health?

Is there a way in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 to either: play in training mode with two human players? play in versus mode with unlimited health? I'd really love to be able to just practice moves with a friend without having to end the match.

Q: What is the point of upgrading my house?

I've just bought the first available house and I've spent all my money on it. Great, now I have a place to store my dragon bones until I become Mr. Smith (oh dear what a pun), but what's the point in upgrading the furnishings and such? Is it just to add more storage space? Isn't every chest in...

Q: Skyrim, dead npc's

A couple of npc's in Riften seem to be permanently missing, the stable owner and the priest from the temple of Mara that carries out marriages. I now can't buy a horse from that particular stable and can't become married. Is this a bug or have they died? I remember a dragon attack outside of the ...

Well seems like the GOTY question got shot down.

@FallenAngelEyes Witch Doctor

Also, what are you talking about @FallenAngelEyes? Did you get a beta invite?!?!?!?!?!?!

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn I did indeed

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes Do you have any extra invites to give out...?

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn Nope :( They don't seem to give us any at all.

Wipqozn

11:15 PM

@FallenAngelEyes In that case I hate you out of envy.

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn <3~

waugh

RealID

Aeo

@FallenAngelEyes Oh fuck that... Is that in D3?

FallenAngelEyes

I don't have RealID enabled! Why is it showing my real first and last name ingame?!

not cool ;_;

You can't even change your name at all, the field is greyed out. What if I got married and decided to change my name?

all I see for adding friends is 'Add Real ID friend request', no none-Real ID options

Aeo

@FallenAngelEyes I hope it's just a setting or something within the game itself... As if it's got RealID only there's less than 0 chance of me getting it.

FallenAngelEyes

@Aeo Can't find any options disabling it

Aeo

11:23 PM

Aw, man.... That's disappointing. You've ruined my night, @FallenAngelEyes , I hope yer happy. :P

Powerlord

SWTOR Preloading just started.

I literally just got an email about it

FallenAngelEyes

@Aeo I'm sorry!

Wipqozn

@Aeo I'm happy, then again I'm a dick.

There's nothing like freezing as a fully charged medic 8 seconds before start of round in wide open

Luckily (?) I crashed entirely

also the game was taking a very ugly turn so fuck that too

the "enemy engies have 500 people spychecking for them, all I had was jack shit" kind of ugly turn

the "hey guys they've built in the attic" and my shit goes down 5 seconds later kind of ugly turn

LIKE WHY ALLOW THE FUCKING DEMOMAN TO STAND PERFECTLY STILL FOR A MINUTE OR SO FUCKING BREATHE ON HIM OR SOMETHING I AM TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING UP AND RUNNING FOR YOU LAZY ASSES JEEZ

then when I'm not an engie I just derp around especially as spy.

Wipqozn

I always enjoy your Team Fortress 2 rants @badp

Aeo

Kinda makes me wanna try to get into it again... Kinda... I messed with it pre-f2p... pre-hats... and just never really got into it

Wipqozn

@Aeo Team Fortress 2 without hats isn't even Team Fortress 2

I mean, Team Fortress 2 is a hat simulator. How can you have a hat simulator without hats?

badp

@Wipqozn There's always the minigame

@Aeo The game has probably changed heaps and bounds since then

like, did you have upgradeable teleporters back then? Payload maps? Destroyable stickies? Airblast? etc.

Aeo

@badp 'ell if I know... All I know is I didn't have a mic back then so it was a bit difficult to communicate.

11:48 PM

@Aeo respawn times are useful for that

Hello there

Wipqozn

@Fredy31 Hello.

Fredy31

Cant find my GOTY question of yesterday, anybody have seen it lying around?

Wipqozn

@Fredy31 It was deleted.

Fredy31

Sucks. Seems like someone didn't like the Idea.

Wipqozn

11:52 PM

@Fredy31 It was @mana. He said he doesn't like you.

Don't think much of it though, @mana is completely corrupt and doesn't like anyone.

Fredy31

He... doesnt... liek... me... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

agent86

I probably shouldn't have peed in his cereal this morning and blamed it on @Fredy31

Fredy31

nooooooooooooooo.com

Wipqozn

also, in case you don't know by now, you should never take anything I take seriously @Fredy31

Mana

very witty @Wipqozn

Wipqozn

11:53 PM

@Mana Thank you, I like to think so.

@agent86 @mana had it coming.

Fredy31

lol

Should I try it again or let it go?

Wipqozn

@Fredy31 seriously though, did you actually losea question?

Fredy31

Yes, the Game of the year (for us) question of yesterday.

Q: Quake 3 Mod tutorial or example

I searched around a bit and didn't find anything too useful but does anyone know of a good tutorial or example for modding quake arena? I would like to do something a long the lines of changing weapons power and even maybe adding new weapons, and other general activities in the game. any suggesti...
