remember when I was telling it would be cool to have the rep score update in real time with 1UPs and all?

Q: SO Live! -- live updates to your reputation score.

Screenshot About This userscript, based on SOApi.js, injects itself in all SE pages and polls the API for reputation changes every 60 seconds. When your reputation changes, this is quietly announced at the top of the page and the top reputation counter is joyfully updated. The notification ...

this lacks the 1UPs.

tzenes

still cool

it's cute to watch reputation increasing live :D

really makes you want to make it move

Was "lasers" misspelled on purpose in the description of this room?

Q: Green led of PSP stays green forever with nothing on screen

I have a psp2001 that seems to be bricked, the green led stays on forever but I got nothing on screen. Is there any way I can got it back to life using some recovery method and not getting new pieces (maybe), I have tried pandora battery with no luck. Hope you can point me to a solution. Thank you.

console sony pandora game bricked

Why was this migrated to us?

FallenAngelEyes

good afternoon all

doesn't SU have some sort of policy that if it has to do with gaming at all, they don't handle it?

tzenes

15:06

a foolish policy

if I was asking how to change my GAC to unload a different version of a DLL because my video game had accidentally installed v1.1 and I need v1.2, then that answer really belongs on SU as you can replace the words video game with any program ever made ever and its still the exact same question.

StrixVaria

I definitely agree with you tzenes. I understand them not wanting to handle "why won't my game run" questions nonstop, but legitimate hardware or software issues related to gaming should be fair game.

LessPop_MoreFizz

augh, 21 more hours until I get my sweet sweet digital crack.

StrixVaria

Just got 4k rep :)

Someone upvoted an ancient answer of mine haha

@LessPop_MoreFizz Which game would that be?

LessPop_MoreFizz

New Vegas.

StrixVaria

Ahh...I never tried Fallout 3. Didn't appeal to me.

LessPop_MoreFizz

15:19

Did you like Fallout 1/2?

StrixVaria

Never heard of them until Fallout 3 came out.

(Blasphemy!?)

LessPop_MoreFizz

nevermind that then. :P

and yes, Blasphemy!

FallenAngelEyes

I still need to finish Fallout 3

StrixVaria

From what I've heard of the fallout setting it actually sounds really interesting, but I saw some Fallout 3 gameplay and it looked meh at best

FallenAngelEyes

The setting is pretty great, if you like post-apoc stuff

LessPop_MoreFizz

15:22

:11162 Thats a pretty good assessment of a lot of things about Fallout 3. Fortunately, New Vegas puts the setting back in the hands of the original Fallout 1/2 team.

also, there is a Zybourne Clock random encounter.

FallenAngelEyes

For 3, think less of it as a shooter and more of it as an RPG, you'll enjoy it more that way, imo

StrixVaria

If there's a PC version I might give it a try, but I can't stand first-persion view games on a console controller

FallenAngelEyes

Yep, it's on PC

LessPop_MoreFizz

Not only is there a PC version, but it's the best version

FallenAngelEyes

Steam's got it

LessPop_MoreFizz

15:23

because it's Bethesda Gamebryo - and thus moddable like you wouldn't believe

FallenAngelEyes

Plus you can mod like a madman

^ what he said

LessPop_MoreFizz

I'd put down money on a FO3 Steam sale within the next few weeks

FO3 is Oblivion with Guns.

StrixVaria

Oblivion had good combat

FallenAngelEyes

You can probably pick up the GotY edition a bit cheaper in brick and mortar than on Steam

StrixVaria

that's about all I can say for it

LessPop_MoreFizz

15:25

Fallout doesn't have the horrendous world scaling and randomization issues of Oblivion if that's what you mean.

StrixVaria

The leveled enemies was a huge problem in oblivion too

LessPop_MoreFizz

nor the retarded levelling system

StrixVaria

"world scaling"?

ok good

LessPop_MoreFizz

'world scaling' meaning levelled enemies and levelled loot

FallenAngelEyes

Bleh, it's one of those days where I just have no ambition whatsoever and the crappy weather is leaching what little energy I have.

LessPop_MoreFizz

15:27

NV fixes the main problems FO3 combat had though, which is 1) you can target in VATS with melee, and 2) Guns have rela iron sights that are quite good

FallenAngelEyes

The main problem I hear my friends have with FO3 is that it got too easy

LessPop_MoreFizz

yeah, that's true too. Also, the 'solution' to the difficulty in Broken Steel was to add a few absurd bullet sponge enemies

that take like.. 9 clips from an assault rifle to bring down

but that's what FWE is for

Or now, Hardcore Mode in NV.

@LessPop_MoreFizz: Digital download or boxed version?

LessPop_MoreFizz

:11196 Boxed. Getting the fancy collectors edition

espais

ooOOOooo

LessPop_MoreFizz

and jealous of all the steam users that have spent today preloading

espais

I'm going to wait a couple of weeks until I'm back in the States and can pick up the boxed as well

espais

Something about downloading a Fallout game off of Steam feels like heresy to me

tzenes

15:50

I'm off to work, try not to break the internet while I"m gone

also, as a topic for discussion, does anyone else thing Heart Gaming sounds kind of silly?

now that's a gaming heart

Brant

It took me a while to realize it was a play on Pokemon(tm) HeartGold(tm) and SoulSilver(tm)

LessPop_MoreFizz

:11202 this guy already broke it: rentistoodamnhigh.org

also: I'm totally voting for him.

badp

:11207 ...wow

"Sam Katz. He kicks children in the face."

Brant

I live there! wheee.

The video was made as a joke, but the facekick actually did happen.

LessPop_MoreFizz

It's just such an archetypal negative campaign ad

Brant

Yeah, that's why it's so funny. It's amazing how many people think it's really airing on TV though

As far as I know it was just made by some local blogger for the lulz

@bwarner Hello!

bwarner

@Willful Hi, extending my lunch period longer than I should...

WillfulWizard

@bwarner feel free to go back to work. I consider you to be my (friendly and very worthy) Civ-5 rival, and I just wanted to finally say hello!

bwarner

@Willful Heh, yah. I think you got the tag badge before I did. I don't have your nice screenshots, I just get to the easy questions faster. =)

LessPop_MoreFizz

21:53

WOW @ 's quarterly numbers.

WillfulWizard

:11248 I see a unicode missing character box instead of a username or company that would make sense :(

LessPop_MoreFizz

Should be an Apple.

Damn you all with your inferior OS's and their corresponding lack of glyphs.

badp

22:11

@LessPop_MoreFizz I think that particular Glyph is Mac-only

GnomeSlice

23:00

What is the point of a Mac-only glyph?

I feel like I'm missing a tag I should have included in that question...

StrixVaria

I just finally realized your name is a play on "Home Slice"

I'm always the last one to figure out these not-so-hidden puns

tzenes

23:17

is @Juan around?

WillfulWizard

:11258 I don't think I've seen Juan today.
