@DaveMcClelland u r
 
@Powerlord Classic!
 
@DaveMcClelland You're just showing off...
 
@DaveMcClelland so... are they selling mobile games?
 
@Mana To the question in the title?
 
12:01 AM
@agent86 Not yet, but you can apparently buy games to your account
 
Actually, I should have linked to the second video instead of the first.
 
@Mana Or to: "Do I get to play any kind of music in game?"
 
I hope they add the ability to start downloading games on your home computer from your phone
 
@John I see
 
I can buy a game at work and have it downloaded by the time I get back. That would be the future
 
12:02 AM
@DaveMcClelland How would that even work?
 
@Mana I don't know, that's what steam engineers get paid to do
It's aware of the fact that I'm signed on on both my phone and desktop
 
@DaveMcClelland hm, neat.
 
And it pushes messages to both locations
So presumably they could start a download in the same way
I don't know, I'm not a wizard
But GabeN is
I just signed up for the beta yesterday - I'm sure if you sign up today it won't be too long until you get in
 
sooo, it's kind of like the steam website, but more mobile-phone friendly?
 
@agent86 Yeah, that's a pretty accurate description
And friends is also included

mkay
 
> Microsoft's language filter on Xbox Live is strangling the linguistic skills of Quarrel players, banning such words as "help," "train," "balls" and "shaft" from being played.
> While we can understand the potential risque-ness of some of these words -- especially "help," which we're sure was added at the request of the XBL customer-service team -- without context we don't see the harm in them.
 
I don't believe I can voice chat with people using it though
The interface is actually incredibly similar to the facebook app redesign
Which was, in turn, stolen from the twitter app's design
So basically everyone's stealing each other's ideas and calling themselves geniuses
 
Quarrel is some kind of word game, I take it?
 
But either way, Steam is way overdue to have a mobile app, so I am in full support of plagiarism
 
@Brant Yup.
 
12:08 AM
I'm disappointed it's not allowed on my device.

A: What are the differences between the characters?

GnomeSliceA bit of added information I've gathered from playing, the purple character has the shortest attack reach, the red and blue reaches seem to be the same, and the green character has the longest attack reach.

 
Damn you SSL
 
12:10 AM
@Pyrodante Actually, I was posting my answer.
 
@GnomeSlice Wouldn't that be more appropriate as a comment since it's not a complete answer?
 
Right, I was trying to help you because there is a pretty nice answer there
 
@Mana None of them are.
 
I have never played the game and so would feel weird answering it myself
 
@GnomeSlice Then why don't you consolidate all the info into one better answer?
 
12:11 AM
@Mana BECAUSE.
 
I took an interest in this question and did some of my own testing. Although I don't have many numbers to go with it, I can say some general things. I'll use Blue as the standard.

Light Attacks
Blue: Standard length and width (height).
Red: About the same length, but not quite as wide as Blue's. Appears to be closer to the ground. Attack speed is either slightly slower or the same. Hard to tell.
Purple: Much shorter in both width and length. If you measure the length in the width of the character sprites, it is about one sprite shorter than Blue's. Attack speed is much quicker.
 
Yeah, I'm copying that to an answer now.
The formatting sucks.
 
just trying to help o7
 
@Pyrodante Thank you!! <3
@Fredy31 heh
Ending got me.

GnomeSliceAccording to Gamespot's Forums: Light Attack Blue: Standard length and width (height). Red: About the same length, but not quite as wide as Blue's. Appears to be closer to the ground. Attack speed is either slightly slower or the same. Hard to tell. Purple: Much shorter in both ...

There we go.
 
12:17 AM
I was not LoLing
 
An thus, a new speculation answer was born.
 
@GraceNote So, how did the experiment go?
 
@GraceNote Not laughing? :(
 
@Powerlord Do you have a permit for that science?
 
Oh Steam guard. I like you, but you're incredibly annoying.
There. Steam knows I want the app now.
 
12:32 AM
@John I disabled it because I have a dynamic IP, and I liked visiting the site in a browser.
 
@Ullallulloo It marks your IP too? I thought it stored a cookie or something.
I have to re-enable every different browser I use.
On every different computer I use.
Even when those computers have the same public IP.
 
Hey all.
 
@John I thought it makes you need to verify by email everytime you login on a new computer/browser/IP address.
Which was every time for me.
@RedriderX Hi. :)
 
@RedriderX Hello!
@Ullallulloo I was unaware of the IP monitoring. I guess that's because my IP doesn't change that much. But yeah, that must've been annoying.
 
Sorry about the way I acted yesterday, I shouldn't have been complaining to you all about my bad choice in game buying.
@Ullallulloo Wow, really? I hadn't tried it much yet.
 
12:38 AM
@RedriderX I wasn't around, but I'm sure you were fine (unless a mod said otherwise). :) We all complain to each other here. :P
 
@RedriderX I thought so, but I could be wrong.

Q: Does my follower gain carry weight bonuses?

fbreretoIf Lydia equips a pair of boots that are enchanted to give a +40 carry weight, does she receive the bonus?

 
It definitely marks new computers and browsers. That much I know.
QUANDO OMNI FLUNKUS MORITATUS
 
@John Why does that sound familiar....?
 
@RedriderX Did you see it on G+?
That's where I just did....>.>
 
12:48 AM
@John What does it mean?
 
@RavenDreamer "When all else fails, play dead."
And yes, that's Latin.
 
@John I got that from the part that sounded like Latin.
:P
 
@John No, no I don't do G+. Same reasons as @badp. Where have I heard something similar...?
 
@RavenDreamer All of it? :P
@RedriderX Oh. Somewhere else on the internet, perhaps?
 
@RedriderX Why doesn't badp?
 
12:50 AM
@RavenDreamer He doesn't want to use his real name.
iz sekret
 
@RavenDreamer Yes like @Ullallulloo said: gaming.stackexchange.com/users/23/badp
 
@RavenDreamer "If you want my surname, you'll have to ask for it in person. I'm not a "plus" person."
 
And Grace and FAE...
 
@Ullallulloo I wonder why sometimes.
 
@Ullallulloo I know the name of one and have a picture of the other, so, ahah.
 
12:51 AM
@John No no, some other Latin motto.
 
@RedriderX I don't know then. :/
@RavenDreamer Grace's name and FAE's picture don't count.
 
@RavenDreamer Well, yeah, they're both on either the Gaming or SE blogs.
 
@Ullallulloo FAE's name or picture is?
 
@John Psh. The moving goal line in effect.
 
@RavenDreamer xD
 
12:53 AM
@John Her picture is in that Gamecon event thing, right?
 
@Ullallulloo I didn't think so....
checks
 
@John I swapped pictures with her in here once. She deleted it immediately after, though.
 
@John Is it not obvious that they are all alien robots leaching pattern sets from are discussions so they can truly replicate our speech patterns?
 
@RavenDreamer I know, I was there.
 
@John Not very good pictures.
 
12:53 AM
I swapped tabs and missed her picture by seconds.....
>:(
 
Yes, I have found it. This is what that motto reminded me of: "Quando omni flunkus moritati".
 
FallenAngelEyes on August 31, 2011

Here we are, finally at the last day of Gamescom. This entry may be way shorter than the others, partially because I’ve found a video of the Guild Wars 2 Lore Q&A, which is way more succinct than the notes I took, and partially because the day ended earlier than the others because it was the last day. A lot of it was spent standing in a crowd trying to catch swag (man, people are vicious), and while it was fun to get the swag, it doesn’t make for super interesting writing.

10:25 After waking around 9am or so, we went down to eat breakfast in the hotel lobby. Scrambled eggs and bacon, yay! W …

near the bottom
Not from the front though.
 
@RavenDreamer Aheh. I know she's Asian.
@RavenDreamer 404
@Ullallulloo Oh wow. So I see.
I never realized that was her.
 
add .jpg
 
12:56 AM
 
I just didn't want to spam another giant-- well, okay, nevermind.
 
Also, that was the last one I was going to look in....
 
k, time to go watch chuck.
 
@Ullallulloo Chuck testa?
 
@Ullallulloo It's really gone downhill since season 2.
 
12:57 AM
@John Same for me, but I just skimmed fast.
 
@John Bartowski.
 
@RavenDreamer Shut up, last episode.
 
@Ullallulloo Yeah....I got distracted actually reading it... :P
 
@Ullallulloo Is it really?
 
@RavenDreamer yes
 
12:58 AM
@RavenDreamer Ah. I don't even know what "Chuck Testa" means, it just seemed like it went there.
 
I sorta gathered that, given how things cliffhanger'd last time.
 
two hours long
 
@Ullallulloo I'll watch it tomorrow, then!
My prediction: She remembers the drawing.
Mark my words.
 
@John U NO KNOW CHUCK TESTA!?
 
12:58 AM
And then it's all "D'awww... we're going to have a family!"
 
@Ullallulloo I was literally just watching that.
 
And possibly a "cut to the future".
 
Later I have to watch it with sound.
 
And we see their baby "two years later" or whatever.
 
@RavenDreamer I think it's been leaked on TPB for a few hours.
 
12:59 AM
@RedriderX BC I NOT NO MEAMZ!
 
But I didn't download it to check.
 
@Ullallulloo Psh. I'll wait till I can stream it from MegaVideo.
 
@Ullallulloo Was that the guy in Rhett and Link's dancing zebra video?
 
@John I don't know them very well either.
 
@RedriderX I feel better then.
 
1:00 AM
@John I closed that in, like, 10 seconds.
k, bye y'all.
 
@Ullallulloo If you can stick it out to the end, the zebra takes his head off.
@Ullallulloo And bye.
@RedriderX Also, methinks you are missing a "Y".
I'm quite surprised that spellcheck thinks "methinks" is a word, but not "spellcheck".
 
@John Well yes, but that was intentional. Probably.
Well, I've finally answered one of my own questions.
 
@RedriderX Which one?

Q: I'm seeing bright lights at the end of this tunnel in Seiklus, should I be worried?

RedriderXI have been making some progress in Seiklus, finding cool stuff, and generally having a good time. Then I check out the map(once I read the instructions to find the map button,) and find that there are a number of blinking lights on certain area blocks: They alternate between white and black, ...

@John I finally figured it out on my own.
 
@RedriderX Duh it's because no one plays the game because GnomeSlice recommended it.
:P
Although I've been meaning to give it a try...
Maybe once I do I'll go back and upvote that because it will have meaning to me then. :P
 
1:09 AM
@John Ohhhhhh, right. Except that I played because Gnomeslice recommended it.
 
@RedriderX Then I think I just called you a no one...
 
@John Of course I'm no one, since I am not known as one.
 
@RedriderX Quite.
 
Well, I'll leave you with that. nite.
 
@RedriderX Goodnight!
Haha, it's the Roarmulus Twins in Minecraft! :D
Now if someone got that working, that would be awesome.
 
1:21 AM
o_O Why is the Gamescom pic starred?
 
@FallenAngelEyes Because @RavenDreamer was bragging that he had a picture of you, so people had to go and find that one, and someone starred it.
Moral of the story, it's all @badp's fault.
Yet another example of attempted obscurity attracting attention.
 
...mmmmkay then.
 
Like I said, just blame @badp.
 
I've a right to my privacy if I want it
 
@FallenAngelEyes Of course.
Everyone does.
The best way to get that is...debatable.

Q: Games with Editable Persistent Worlds

Brian DeragonOk, I'm looking for games my friends and I can build like our own towns/quests/adventures, but still do an adventure ourselves, from other players out there, and built-in ones to a persistent world. The only games I know of to do this really so far, is the Neverwinter Nights series; but persiste...

@Lazers I keep reading this as "edible worlds" and it's making me hungry for some block-shaped food.
 
@John scarfs
 
@John also this is sort of borderline creepy
 
@FallenAngelEyes People want what they can't have. Tell them they can't know what you look like and they will go to great lengths to find out.
 
1:32 AM
@John Or, y'know, they could just drop it and respect the person's choice.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Yes, and given that you have now expressed this want, I, for one, will.
Which LOL server is everyone on? EU East, EU West, or US?
 
@FallenAngelEyes Thanks
 
@FallenAngelEyes Streisand Effect, unfortunately. I value my personal privacy and respect that of others, but unfortunately, this is the internet. :(
 
@John Want a referral link or have you signed up already?
 
1:37 AM
@FallenAngelEyes I think I followed @RavenDreamer's link...sorry. :/
 
Curses
I'll never get a successful referral ;_;
 
I will be mad at myself if I find out I didn't follow anyone's link, so @RavenDreamer come tell me I followed a link!
@FallenAngelEyes :(
 
@agent86 I have kind of this reverse privacy issue where I don't mind so much if online people know who I am, but I don't like offline people knowing who I am online.
 
@FallenAngelEyes at one point, without my permission, a photographer we hired to take family photos sold a photo to a magazine. On the one hand, it was cool that my son and I were on the cover of a magazine, but on the other hand, I kind of felt violated
yeah, there's too much bleed for me. Eventually you guys will know who I am, but I'd rather that day be as far away as possible, and as contained as possible.
 
@agent86 Photography and subject vs. photographer rights are always tricky things. :/
 
1:40 AM
@FallenAngelEyes So you don't much care what people know about you online as long as they don't connect that to you offline? That's a very interesting perspective.
 
I try to balance my job and my online life as best I can, but I doubt my employer would feel I'm doing as good a job as I think I am :)
 
Oh look, a question that has gotten so much crap it's been automatically protected
 
@agent86 So far I've found the people here remarkable containing.
 
@FallenAngelEyes yeah, I don't think she had the right, and she admitted as much, that she usually gets a release. She did something to make up for it, but, y'know, damage was done.
 
I don't upload any of my art or photography to FB because I don't agree with their TOS, which says that anything you upload, they're not only allowed to use as they see fit, but it's also sub-licensable, which I really don't agree with
@John If this place wasn't google-indexable, I'd probably be more comfortable sharing personal information here. But there's people in my offline life I don't feel comfortable with knowing my online stuff. That's part of the crux of somewhat living in the closet.
@agent86 That sucks
 
1:44 AM
I just avoid facebook like the plague.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I can relate to that... >.>
 
@John Part of it is I grew up in a very rural area whose population is not all that open to alternative lifestyles. If some of the people I know from back there knew stuff about me not fitting into their heteronormative-monogamous-worldview, they'd possibly take it out on my family by treating them differently, and that's not something I want to happen.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Ooh right. I didn't even think about people treating you differently because of that.
Too minor?
 
@John Yeah, I'm poly and I'm also not heterosexual, but the people I knew in HS who still come into contact with my parents don't necessarily need to know that.
 
Meh. If too many edits ever becomes a problem, then we'll worry about rejecting those. For now, I want my capitalization.
 
1:49 AM
@John I don't think that's really any less minor than the edits lunboks was doing. I see that as fine.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, I can see that.
 
-1
A: I've lost Shadowmere - where can I find her?

Twysted...........................................................................................................She dead.

 
@TimStone Pity that's not flaggable.
 
Yeah, I couldn't convince myself that it falls under the relaxed definition of "abusive", unfortunately.
 
@TimStone Yeah...that answer (shog's) was unexpected to me.
It's @GnomeSlice! Run!

I wonder if we're going to get another gaming grant soon
I'm kind of curious about kingdom of amalur
but also, I neeeeeeed ME3
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
d
 
@agent86 I hated the stealing mechanic in that demo
 
@FallenAngelEyes hmm, I should probably play the demo at some point then. I have it on my xbox and just haven't gotten around to it yet.
 
@Brant That father reminds me of @GnomeSlice.
 
2:06 AM
Sure, if I'm picking a lock on a chest with NPCs around and I'm in line of sight, yes, I understand guards being notified
 
Finally, Little Racers STREET available for download: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Little-Racers-STREET/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258550a68 #xblig
 
but when I'm on another floor of the building and took something out of a desk with no witnesses, which then causes THE ENTIRE TOWN TO GO HOSTILE, trying to run me down, ugh
Also, if you're caught and go to jail, if you choose to serve out your sentence, you lose XP
You can also try to break out of jail, but the entire town stayed hostile then and I had to run away and arrrrgh
 
@FallenAngelEyes Problem?
 
I started the first cutscene in that game and kind of went eeeeehhhhhh, don't really care about your fantasy scenario, sorry
 
I didn't even try to see what happened if I tried to sell something stolen, I just didn't feel like dealing with it
 
2:09 AM
@GnomeSlice lol I get it
That's pretty funny
 
<3 Google.
 
@agent86 I've found the tone of the game to be really difficult to figure out. The style's so over the top that I can't tell if it's purposeful or not.
 
Oh, bam. Milkstone Studios Bundle for 1$
Buy it, they're pretty good.
 
I lean towards not, considering how ridiculous the guy speaking about it at Gamescom was
 
I'm kind of sad that they have no co-op. I like dungeon crawlers w/co-op
 
2:13 AM
Yeah, me too
 
@agent86 Then play Spiral Knights with me.
 
It won't be a purchase for me, but it does get credit for not being incredibly brown
but yeah, not a fan of the stealing mechanic so far, at all
 
@badp @GraceNote That 1$ bundle has one or two games you might be interested in in it
 
@FallenAngelEyes I'm willing to lower my standards if it's freeeeee
 
@agent86 Free? :o I thought it was just a regular full-price release.
 
2:23 AM
@FallenAngelEyes yes, but gaming grant!
 
@agent86 Ah, true
 
Also, Cardinal Quest is 50% off.
OIL RUSH IS FINISHED DOWNLOADING ISUBKYSERFBHLEJH;SERGRETSKLHG;JLGB
 
@GnomeSlice You watch Sesame Street?
 
No, but one of my friends does, apparently.
Although from that image, it looks like maybe I should start.
 
I just won my first game of lockdown ever! \o/
 
2:36 AM
@GnomeSlice ...wait
You want to watch puppet porn?
 
Preferably minus the puppets.
 
ah okay
I mean, if that's what your into, that's cool and all. Was just curious.
 
Hah.
 
@Wipqozn maybe he's an Avenue Q fan
 
@FallenAngelEyes No, I prefer real porn over the puppet variety. Assuming there is such a thing.
(Or so I would think)
 
2:42 AM
@GnomeSlice Of course there is.
there is porn for everything
No matter how strange something may seem, someone is into it.
 
...........
 
I for one am into cloning myself. Sadly, they have not perfected cloning yet :(
 
@Tristan They're tweaking Jax's Counter Strike
 
@Wipqozn .....I don't even want to know how that relates to porn.
 
@GnomeSlice I'd spell it out for you, but I'd rather let your imagination run wild.
 
2:47 AM
argh why am I still awake
need to remedy this, g'night all
 
@Mana gets more upset about my personal problems than I do. =S
 
@FallenAngelEyes Goodnight!
 
3:06 AM
back
 
> ................................................................................‌​‌​...........................She dead. – Twysted 2h ago
I'm not even sure if it makes a good comment
 
@YiJiang It doesn't
I flagged it not an answer
because it's not
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, then a mod turned it into a comment
 
@YiJiang ah, I see
them mods and their comment making ways.
 
@GnomeSlice That actually works?
niiiice
 
3:16 AM
@YiJiang Fair enough; think I should remove it?
I don't see any particular reason to though.
 
@Mana I agree.
I agree with @YiJiang it is a bad comment,but that doesn't mean it should be deleted.
 
Also, why is a photo of FAE starred? That's kinda odd.
 
@Mana you're kind of odd.
 
@Wipqozn Yeah
 
3:32 AM
also, just because we are on the topic of pictures of people
Sep 17 '11 at 15:46, by Mana
When I look at my wife, I will remember Arda in his suit and feel so very disappointed.
 
@John I take offense to that comment.
@John I would not brag about having someone's picture.
 
@RavenDreamer I'm learning XNA atm
pretty cool stuff
 
@Mana Didn't you tell me that last week? :P
 
wait I already mentioned this to you.
 
We should totally make a game together, this summer.
 
3:35 AM
damn.
 
Maybe I'll come to Canadia.
 
Sure
My friend made an absolutely amazing and bizarre platformer
it completely outclassed anything that I've seen any of my friends make.
I was so impressed. And I finally have someone to aspire to be better than!
 
@Mana What made it amazing and also bizarre?
 
@RavenDreamer I should probably just send you the source so you can play it yourself
 
@Mana You should!
 
3:38 AM
@RavenDreamer How should I send it to you?
 
@Mana Hm. How big is the source?
 
~37 MBs
 
You have a dropbox account? That should do quite nicely then.
 
yeah, just my upload speed is kinda slow
guess it wouldn't matter regardless of what medium I chose though
 
Well, I hate to break it to you, but your upload speed is gonna be a bottleneck nomatter what.
Yeah, exactly. :P
 
3:42 AM
heh
I'm so aware of how dumb I am! It's amazing.
2
 
@Mana You and @Gnomeslice are the self-deprecating humor kings of Gaming.
2
 
@RavenDreamer you can't have two kings.
One of them needs to be the Queen.
and it should be @mana
In Chess, the queen is more powerful
 
@Wipqozn I think @GnomeSlice has "Drama Queen" covered quite nicely.
 
like @mana is here due to his mod powers
@RavenDreamer oh, didn't think of it that way!
 
@Wipqozn Good job covering yourself there.
 
3:45 AM
@Wipqozn But @Gnome always gets his head photoshopped on women.
 
if this was chess I would've lost this match in 2004
 
@Mana Thank you
 
Mana gets his head on everything
 
@Ullallulloo I hear he profits off it too.
 
@Ullallulloo I think you mean has his hand in.
 
3:50 AM
@RavenDreamer hand?
oh
 
@Ullallulloo Has his hand in, not gets his head on.
 
 
@RavenDreamer It just is
 
@RavenDreamer Idunno, sounds pretty close...
3 hours ago, by Raven Dreamer
@Ullallulloo I know the name of one and have a picture of the other, so, ahah.
