A: List questions for The Old Republic / MMOs -- CW, closure, other?

LessPop_MoreFizzStack Exchange isn't GameFAQ's. What do I mean by that? I mean that what we do well isn't Big Lists of Stuff. As a general rule of thumb, if I know the scope of the answer set, my 'I know it when I see it' guideline for a question that's too broad is, "Would I be willing to take the time to comp...

Thoughts?
 
AVWW was included in Indie Game Mag's 15 Surprises of 2012. -- http://www.indiegamemag.com/15-indie-games-that-will-surprise-you-in-2012/
 
On a related note, I now understand the mentality of the Proof Brigade that I was bemoaning the other day. It's because left to their own devices, they'll just make shit up.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz +1
And now, I hunt.
I mean, I eat.
Hunt, then eat. Whatever.

@GnomeSlice Haven't you played Terranigma?
 
Nope
 
@GnomeSlice For shame!
 
@GnomeSlice Emulate it. It ranks up there with some of the other SNES greats.
 
I was always more of a SEGA Genesis kind of kid.
 
11:24 PM
@GnomeSlice Then you missed out on some of the greatest RPGs ever made. =P Unless you have an emulator now.
 
The problem with Terranigma is that it never was released in North America.
 
I was never really big on rpg's either.
And the last one I played had @ArdaXi in it.
 
The other problem was Enix's policy of slowing down the framerate for its European releases.
 
@GnomeSlice That's definitely an argument against it.
 
@Tristan RPG? Really? It's an action/adventure game similar to Secret of Mana.
 
11:25 PM
@Powerlord I've noticed that a lot of the 'probably' japanese rpg ports to ios run really fast.
Most of them have options to slow down the frame rate.
 
@Powerlord Secret of Mana was still considered an RPG.
 
@GnomeSlice That would save battery.
 
@John Not to mention the fact that you can't even play them at the max speed.
 
@GnomeSlice Heheh
 
Anyway, Terranigma's slowdown is why there's a patch out there to change the European Terranigma ROM's framerate to 60hz (that's... 30fps? 24fps? I forget)
 
11:26 PM
As in, can't press the button fast enough to do combos.
 
sneaks through the door
 
@GnomeSlice So it's literally unplayable, basically.
@Fredy31 Aims anti-french cannons
 
@John Yes, I wasn't kidding.
Another example is that it's impossible to go where you want because he has rockets in his shoes or something.
 
@GnomeSlice LOL

Q: Are there *really* no torches in all of Whiterun?

AeoI am just flabbergasted about the fact that I can't for the life of me find a single torch in all of Whiterun. I've been around the town twice now looking for a torch for sale or on five-finger discount, and it seems they are in short supply or something. Normally this would not be an issue... I...

 
11:29 PM
@John Desactivates those cannons with the force.
 
It's not just fast... it's FAST
 
@Fredy31 crashes through Fredy's force
 
@John crashes though John crashing through his force
 
crashes through Fredy's face
 
so has everyone seen TF2R's banned page?
 
11:31 PM
@Fredy31 Crashes through Fredy harder
Fires anti-french cannons
 
@GnomeSlice WOOOOAH
 
@John Pfff... Missiles, really? In an Oxygen only environnement?
 
@Fredy31 It's DF FUN!
 
@GnomeSlice you kids and your flagged messages
Don't worry @gnome, I marked it was invalid.
Although it's been flagged 3 times.
 
@Fredy31 Who said anything about missiles? They're launching insert thing french don't like here
 
11:34 PM
@John Germans
 
Good thing I'm french CANADIAN. You dumbs. YOU CANT KILL A FRENCH CANADIAN.
 
@Wipqozn I think you were too late.
 
@Mana So it would seem.
 
@Fredy31 I like to think of Canada as America: The Sequel.
 
How do I unsuspend people? Let me figure this out.
 
11:35 PM
@Ullallulloo Right. launches himself at @Fredy31
 
Sequel as in Empire Strikes back sequel. Better than the original.
 
FRENCH CANADIANS ARE TAKING OVER! POUTINE FOR EVERYONE!
 
@Fredy31 Actually around here the French kinda have a reputation for surrendering...
 
ಠ_ಠ
 
@GnomeSlice Hey, you were unsuspended, weren't you? Quit griping.
 
11:37 PM
I figured it out!!
 
Was that really necessary.
 
@Mana Rats.
@GnomeSlice You called me a blankety blank blank!
 
@GnomeSlice Is it just me or are there bags underneath your Look of Disapproval now?
 
Well, we never get into wars...
 
@Fredy31 Then how did you French people end up under Britain's rule anyway?
 
11:39 PM
I googled it, but the best I can find is the best weakness I could find is their adult literacy rate.
 
@Fredy31 Also, what about that whole "Joan of Arc" thing.
 
Because France fucked us over.
 
@Mana WHO'S JUDGING BY APPEARANCES NOW, HUH?
 
Joan of Arc is the french revolution, if I recall right.
 
@Fredy31 I've heard rumors of France doing that to people.
@Fredy31 Revolution?
 
11:40 PM
@Fredy31 cough Napolean cough
 
Who wants to get on a Downvote Brigade with me? Because this is a Bad Answer (it's flat out wrong), but it has an accept and a bunch of upvotes from people that don't really bother to pay attention to what they vote on.

A: A Timely Offer (Glass arrows, thieves' guild)

MildewyTadpoleI found it: Outside the Mistveil Keep Barracks door (labeled on local map) there are 3 barrels and 1 is labeled Thief cache. It has Glass Arrows and other misc items. To clarify - you have to enter the Keep Barracks, go up the stairs, then out the door to 'Riften'. The 'Thief Cache' barrel is u...

 
110th on the global leaderboards. On my second play of the game. Oh man, I can do top this.
 
@Fredy31 Joan was a few centuries before the French Revolution.
 
When the French people said, with a french accent, "Well fuck this king, now for the republic."
 
11:41 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I hate it when that happens.
 
Godammit, this game keeps evolving to exploit my weaknesses.
 
@IanPugsley That looks like something out of my favorite tumblr in the whole wide world of tumblrs.
 
STOP ADDING MORE BEAMS JUST BECAUSE YOU KEEP KILLING ME WITH BEAMS.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I would help, but my rep is at a multiple of ten. OCD and all that.
 
@John Don't make me go upvote one of your questions, and then downvote an answer.
 
11:43 PM
@John I know, I did anyway, now I have 5019. D:
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Stop after the question upvote and I'll do it. :P
 
@John Downvote a lot of stuff
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz whatever the term for this is (stills that are turned into animated gifs) - they creep me out
 
God, "The Life Aquatic" is such a weird movie.
 
11:45 PM
 
@GnomeSlice you forgot to say amazing
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Done.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz WHAT THE FUCK
IS THAT
 
Just want to say this, mostly to my self
 
It's a bit!
 
11:46 PM
@Blem You do that. It's not even 7PM here.
 
its 00:46 here
 
@IanPugsley Never seen Full Metal Jacket?
 
btw, all hats are gone in 13 minutes. D:
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz it's one of the few "what's wrong with you, why haven't you seen it yet" movies I've got left
 
11:48 PM
Hey all!
 
@RedriderX howdy :)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's a pretty colour correct looking gif, by the way.
 
@IanPugsley That's Private Pyle right before he snaps.
 
Is @GnomeSlice still here?
 
11:50 PM
Sort of
 
@GnomeSlice Oh, well then maabyyye.
But probably not.
 
@RedriderX Yeah, it's one of the things I like the most about IWDRM. There's clearly a lot of care and artistry going into these.
 
@GnomeSlice <3
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Wow, that's pretty awesome.
 
QUICK CHAT: Tell me which hat to immortalize myself in
 
11:54 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Sad question closing hat
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz The coal.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Wait isn't that finished know?
 
I'm picking the diamond helmet.
 
@John It was the first secret hat I discovered.
@RedriderX 5 minutes.
 
@RedriderX 6 more minutes
 
11:55 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh man, Oh man, Oh man, Oh man, Oh man... what hat to wear?!
 
And I'm still #12! Whew! :)
 
@John I'm still in the top 60!
 
@John What's the list url again?
 
@Powerlord Yeah they changed it since yesterday.
Now it's /hall-of-fame
 
UX is missing from hatdash's footer.
 
11:57 PM
Think I'm going to go with Pirate hat, since nobody else in the top 10 is rocking it, and it fits neatly on the gravatar.
 
I am the only person to collect exactly 18 hats. :)
 
Actually...
Pirate Hat or Rep Cap?
VOTE NOW
Pirate Hat! Star!
Rep Cap! Star!
 
Woo! #18! =D
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz You just want stars. :P
 
@John Alternately, I'll just keep swapping between the two until it doesn't let me.
Because you people are useless.
 
11:59 PM
I feel like I need the Link hat because of my gravatar, but I know nothing about Skyward Sword to be able to answer the questions. lol
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz random.randint(0,1) says to wear the rep cap.
@Tristan That would be some fast paced answering.
You have less than 1 minute.
 
@Tristan TIME IS UP! anyway.
