@Strix > Ha no worries. :P That was the idea though.
:11215 That's nothing, I just finished a project that involved finding horrid websites and comparing them to good ones. You don't want to see what I found... :P

Boxer Vs. Fruitdealer :O

This is precisely why I wasn't in favor of having one giant all games weakness question!
because we close it as duplicate?
Actually, it's not quite appropriate there. Since the weaknesses in 2 are... wonky.
Yeah, but that's the real answer he wants
and the dup talks about the wonky-ness
and even if there were more to add, we'd want it in the other question
Doesn't actually explain the wonkyness, though
ok, but if you did have an explanation, wouldn't you want it in both answers?
if I want to know the boss ordering that information is kind of crucial
02:25
All the weaknesses aren't necessary for boss order.
For example, Magnet Man and Spark Man have two weaknesses each, but we only list the important one in the ordering.
:11271 I figured that'd excite you.
Not if you want to give the asker enough information to make an intelligent choice
Explaining the difference is inherently a better answer than saying: just trust me on this
With Day9 and Tasteless casting it to boot.
:11284 it did...
Also HuK playing in the invitational
02:28
forget HuK, TLO ZERG
yea, it's a pretty nutso lineup
very very glad I paid for the stream
I'm glad I bought a ticket, airplane ride and hotel!
Wish I could've
We go every year as a nice vacation

Here is the problem I have with comic books: I am not going to pay $2.50 for Superman #700. Its never going to happen. I might pay $10 a month for unlimited comics, or maybe $10 for a complete storyline, but at $2.50 a comic its just not going to happen
Be reasonable DC. Offer me the entire Brightest Day Story line for $20. I am willing to pay that.
Or hey, what about monthly subscriptions? that's how netflix got me. They give me unlimited movie for $10 a month. MOVIES. Like with moving images and sounds. Heck they even have some Justice League on here
Your profit model is as broken as Newpapers (and that's saying something), so you need to adapt. Come, join us here in the 21st century
allow me to subscript to a series and automatically download them to my ipad
and don't charge me an arm and a leg for what is essentially a 15 minute experience

:11301 That right there is why I just wait until the narrative is done and buy a trade for anything that looks interesting.
(It helps that I'm primarily interested in the sort of shorter runs that have a kind of self contained narrative and thus, an eventual 'ending' to be fair.)
 
1 hour later…

:11256 Home what?
 
9 hours later…
oh, I thought it was some kind of show.
16:55
:11329 oh come on, you're not even trying
can we please put "no asking for game recommendations (this includes 'similar to' or 'with features')" in our FAQ already?
:11331 okay, I tried
but I'm not very good at this.
18:02
stupid, stupid killer bees
18:22
ohai, we upgraded your Vegas. Time to finally play!

@badp didn't you mean "surVive"?
:11347 hmm, no? I'm afraid I don't :)
Oak
don't what?
I don't get the pun behind "surVive"
Oak
It's not a pun
Oak
You wrote "surive".
Oak
20:09
looks like a typo
Oak
@badp The capital V is just to emphasize what I think is missing
Oak
Oh screw that, edited
...whoops, sorry

In other news
we're approaching post 10,000!

Q: Do the weapons have different melee effectiveness in Left-4-Dead?

CasebashDo different weapons used for melee in Left for Dead 1 either do more damage or more knockback or are they different in any other way?

Should probably close as duplicate of
7
Q: What's best for hitting stuff with?

GnomeSliceSomething's been bothering me for a while now, even though I don't actually own the game (yet). It seems to me that different melee weapons in Left 4 Dead 2 operate differently. For example, I've noticed that the Machete seems to have a shorter 'reload time' than say, the Fireman's Axe, or the ...

aw
THAT'S where I saw that info
I could have sworn it was a dupe
I wish I remembered that before I spent half an hour writing up my own answer
Search is your friend!
Holy crap that games looks awesome
Ooh. I'm gonna try that out when I get home.
:11371 not really
Not really what?
21:20
It doesn't really look awesome.
It actually looks kinda dull
"Hey look a music-generated universe go in circles a bit"
But to me, it looks awesome :)
There's also a mode where you can make your own fractal art
shrugs I enjoy games that use music for procedural generation. If it's not your thing, it's not your thing. I like it though.
I got a lot of fun out of Audiosurf. I wish they'd port that to the mac...
Yeah, Audiosurf was why I originally signed up for Steam
21:22
sigh... Board and Card Games just launched in private beta, and they're about to have a Game-Rec problem.
Tell them to ask us for advice on how to solve it! ...oh wait.
Help me find a card game where you play a dimension-hopping sorcerer who summons monsters to fight and casts spells! Oh, but not Magic: The Gathering.

Magic: The Gathering: The Clone
:11381 I liked Audiosurf, Beat Hazard
but this one seems... dull
shrugs Okay
I forgot about Audiosurf. That game was really awesome.

21:37
Indeed
Really fun to play and just zone out to
Badp, could you do me a favor? Change "lazers" to "lasers" in the subtitle of this room...
lol
but it won't be memetic then!
Everyone knows the proper spelling is "laz0rz"
@Fallen I'm not sure it's memetic unless you're chargin' it
@brant touché
You... you mean the kitten is lying to me?!?
21:43
@Fallen Example cat is exemplar
Once your memes start cross-pollinating, all bets are off.
21:58
@sjohnston fixed.
:11404 Wait! I liked out lazers.
(Would also be ok with Phasers.)
:11405 Fire out ur lazers on bad questihuns and ask us to can has join ins
@badp re:

A: Please change the default text for title textbox of the question

Jeff AtwoodCorrect, that is not from us, that's from your browser's autocomplete -- I don't see that in Chrome or Firefox though so it must be a Safari quirk.

Of course the bug isn't something they can fix. But trying to claim it's a quirk of a browser where the asker wasn't experiencing the bug is also silly and kind of pointless.
:11410 I guess he once submitted the form when that text was still in :/
Anyway, I wrote out a suggestion
Yeah, that's irrelevant to my point. Calling it a 'Safari Issue', is just flat out inaccurate, regardless of whether it's fixable or not, and whether it's a browser side problem or a SO side problem.
22:14
if you want I can edit it out
you can also do that, however.
22:26
post 9373
:11417 I see it matches the question, but I don't see the relevance?
:11418 we're close to hitting our 10,000th post.
Well, I do like that :)
