@alexanderpas Bush 1 was somebody whose policies I am not, looking back, neccesarily fond of, but he was hardly an apocalyptically bad president like his son. He was a pretty unimpressive center-rightist, and a pretty logical extension of the Reagan era.

@alexanderpas The first Gulf War wasn't a particularly bad bit of foreign policy.

badp

@NickT it takes smarts to build up an empire from pretty much nothing, and subjugate a country to your needs. We can criticize how he got there, but...

Nick T

@badp It doesn't matter if a national leader is smart or not, their job is to serve their country effectively, not themselves.

I didn't say he was doing his job properly

As the first person appointed to the vice-presidency under the terms of the 25th Amendment (after Spiro Agnew had resigned), when he became President upon Richard Nixon's resignation on August 9, 1974, he became the only President of the United States who was never elected President nor Vice-President by the Electoral College.

alexanderpas

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord Uh. Let me check.

GnomeSlice

@badp Nightteam I think.

For fuck's sake.

I hate this game.

badp

Do you know why the trial is 15 minutes long?

Fun fact: servers have a reputation system

alexanderpas

@badp go on.

badp

Every player's connection costs the server, uh, 15 minutes' worth of points

GnomeSlice

00:28

@Powerlord ATI Radeon HD 5450.

badp

Keeping the player on the server gains it reputation, as it must imply the player's having fun.

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice Huh, that should be an OK card for the game.

badp

If the player disconnects before 15 minutes, you're going to lose reputation.

If the player disconnects after 15 minutes, you're going to gain reputation.

GnomeSlice

It's probably my connection then.

badp

Do you think it's coincidental that the trial is 15 minutes long?

GnomeSlice

00:29

No.

Sheesh, I get it.

badp

I don't honestly know what the reputation system is for, or what does it let you do

@GnomeSlice I'm also talking to Alex, and to anybody else who doesn't know.

GnomeSlice

Oh.

badp

you'll have to ask @Powerlord for what the reputation system is for

GnomeSlice

My mistake.

Powerlord

@badp There are actually two systems. One is used by QuickPlay, the other is used to delist servers from the master server entirely.

GnomeSlice

00:30

I don't really care, to be honest.

alexanderpas

@badp join premium server, try functionality, disconnect after 2 minutes ;)

GnomeSlice

Whenever it's loading anything, my TF2 game locks up completely.

badp

I think the main issue is that if your reputation drops too low, you'll get delisted and you'll be cut off from all the goodies

such as gifts during seasonal events (halloween, mostly)

Powerlord

I think that one's the one linked to the QuickPlay system

GnomeSlice

What a fucking waste of time.

badp

00:31

@Powerlord A server delisted from the master server then will not show up in the server list?

Powerlord

@badp Yup. Sadly, this one is completely undocumented as to how it works.

badp

@Powerlord I see.. Well, I'll care about it when the servers I care about get dropped off.

If it's undocumented, it's probably because you need to make such egregious violations, very few have triggered it

Powerlord

Yes, and since nightteam and stuff are still lsited on the masters, I can only assume that one doesn't work the way it should, hence why the QuickPlay one was created.

badp

It's probably even fully manual.

I don't think Valve would ban a server from such a fundamental system without human confirmation

Powerlord

The only real reason I know there are two systems is that Valve's Fletcher Dunn mentioned it last week.

And it doesn't STOP cloaking.

@GnomeSlice Right-click again to stop.

GnomeSlice

Doesn't seem to work reliably :S

I don't understand

Mana

@GnomeSlice Yo, my new electric drum kit is actually the sickest thing. I can't wait to get to play it.

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice Hmm...I haven't had problems with it, but my computer has very little ram, so I probably wouldn't notice anyway.

GnomeSlice

Does the 'dead ringer' behave differently?

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice Yes

Mana

@GnomeSlice Yes it does

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord How differently.

Mana

02:15

It basically makes you play dead

GnomeSlice

Oh.

That would be why I'm having trouble using it

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice You have to right-click to pull it out. While you're holding it, the first damage you take, you cloak for 6.5 seconds or so

It's the hardest to learn, but once you learn it, it works fairly well.

GnomeSlice

Can't uncloak to stab any body?

Mana

@Powerlord god it makes me so paranoid. I can't count the amount of times I've just started shooting everywhere after killing a spy.

Powerlord

Yes, but the Dead Ringer makes a loud noise when you uncloak.

Ullallulloo

02:17

Plus you only take a tenth the damage.

Powerlord

Also, uncloaking takes about 2 seconds.

GnomeSlice

How do I uncloak?

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice right-click.

Be aware that you do have a cloaking meter, and when it runs out, you automatically decloak.

GnomeSlice

I see now

Starting to figure this out

Powerlord

Except with the Cloak and Dagger, which only makes you partly visible when you move when your cloak meter runs out.

(cloak and dagger recharges by standing still)

Anyway, you can recharge the Dead Ringer and Invisibility Watch by picking up ammo boxes or standing near a dispenser.

GnomeSlice

02:19

How does everyone know what the cloak sound means?

I don't even recognize it when I do it.

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice er... by playing the game? :D

GnomeSlice

I uncloak and this solder immediately turns around and blows me away

Wipqozn

I can't believe @GnomeSlice is finally playing Team Fortress 2.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Finally got it Downloaded.

Powerlord

There's a Ffft sound for the Invisibility Watch and Cloak & Dagger (both cloak and decloak for these) and an electric zapping sound for the Dead Ringer (decloak only)

Also, for the Dead Ringer, if you disguise as your own team, the corpse and fake weapon it drops are for that class rather than Spy.

GnomeSlice

02:21

Eh, fuck the spy.

Powerlord

Spy is the hardest class to pick up.

Wipqozn

Yeah, it's not a good class for someone who has just started playing.

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord That's useful.

you need to know the maps for starters.

Wipqozn

@Powerlord There's nothing worse then joining a server, only to see your team is made up of 4 snipers, and 5 spies. that's when you turn around, and find another server.

GnomeSlice

Shit.

Powerlord

But the Spy thing may be because I've clocked 700 hours at it.

I'm not joking either, I passed the 700 hour mark last week.

GnomeSlice

Not sure what I just did, but I think I dropped my building material as an engineer

Wipqozn

@Powerlord Only last week? I thought you passed it a few ~~weeks~~ months ago.

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice btw, Engineer is the class that has changed the least from the console version.

my best time as a medic was when we were ubering a heavy with 3 other medics.

GnomeSlice

I see that.

I never played him much.

Powerlord

@Wipqozn Nope, I was at like 697 at the beginning of the week.

GnomeSlice

How do I get new building material?

alexanderpas

@GnomeSlice dispenser.

Powerlord

02:27

@GnomeSlice Ammo boxes, a dispenser, dropped weapons, or the cabinet in your spawn room.

btw, weapon slot 4 is the build panel, 5 is the destruct panel.

Don't confuse the two!

GnomeSlice

Got it, thanks.

Powerlord

I know the UI is different; I think the destruct UI has red Xs over the buildings you already built so you know it'll destroy that building.

Also, every building except the Combat Mini-Sentry (replaces the standard sentry if you equip the Gunslinger Melee weapon) is upgradable to level 3 now.

Also, don't be afraid to work with other Engineers to repair/upgrade their stuff.

You get assists for kills a sentry makes that you've repaired (or refilled the ammo for)

Not sure if you get teleport points for teleporters you've upgraded/repaired or heal points for dispensers you've upgraded/repaired.

Perhaps the most controversial item that we got from the Uber Update (yeah, old news) is the Quick Fix. There’s a vocal bunch of people that actively dislikes it and ask medics to switch to one of the two classic medic guns, and well, it is undeniable that the quickfix does have a few major downsides in respect to the regular medi gun.

Namely, the #1 reason why people oppose the use of the quickfix is its uber does not grant you invulnerability. Well, invulnerability definitely is every bit as cool as it sounds. Yes, if you use the quickfix too late you&# …
