@Tristan I haven't heard of either of those

Tristan

@JasonBerkan It's the sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D.

The Vow is another Channing Tatum romance. His wife has amnesia, or something.

This would be a pretty cool valentine.

Grace Note

Haha, nice

Oak

I just realized

I lost my chance to earn a marshal badge :(

badp

22:09

@Oak Flag! Now!

FLAG LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMORROW!

BECAUSE THERE ISN'T!!

Grace Note

@Oak No you didn't

Ronan Forman

You should give up your diamond to me so you can get it.

Grace Note

Doing it without being completely abusive is still possible, after all.

Oak

@GraceNote when is flagging as a mod appropriate?

Grace Note

Clear spam/offensive material by flagging it as such

user30

22:11

@Oak To get the marshal badge.

Oak

@badp I'm limited to about 54 flags per day, so it's hopeless anyhow :)

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn This is awesome.

user15026

@Wipqozn It makes me happy. :)

Grace Note

If you plain delete it, it doesn't count as anyone being helpful, but if you flag it in kind, then you lock it, cause the appropriate mark down by Community, and on top of it you auto-validate yourself. Oh, and it gives us better records for tracking things that we said we might eventually track. Eventually.

user15026

The only way it could be cooler is if it was a card with one of those sound thingies in so it would play the Zelda song that you get when you open a chest.

Oak

22:13

@GraceNote I completely lost you

Grace Note

@Oak If someone else flags something as spam/offensive, and all you do is delete the post, you're not just denying yourself a badge, you're denying that user a badge. So you'd be a mean mod if you did that. Don't be a mean mod.

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn oh god that would be amazing

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Wouldn't it?

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn That would kick as much ass.

Q: How do I do an inverted ledge takedown?

To earn one of the medals in Batman: Arkham City's Police Brutality (Extreme) Predator Challenge, I'm supposed to do an inverted ledge takedown. I've tried standing on ledges above enemies, but never get the takedown notification. What am I doing wrong? How do I perform an inverted ledge takedown?

batman-arkham-city

Wipqozn

22:14

There are no words to describe how awesome that would be,

Grace Note

@AshleyNunn Clearly, this has to be done.

user15026

@GraceNote If only I knew how!

Oak

@GraceNote oh... so I should use span/offensive flags, for the good of the community. And a badge.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Somebody is running literary characters through police sketch composite software. the results are... creepy.

Grace Note

@AshleyNunn I'm going to just say "arduino". I don't even know what an arduino is, but it's totally used in a lot of things like that. So that must be the solution.

@Oak Yes. For the good of the community.

Oak

22:15

:)

Ian Pugsley

@GraceNote lol

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote A microcontroller!

user15026

@GraceNote You know, that sounds like an excellent solution. XD (I also do not know what it is)

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes I am picturing a teeny NES controller. I am pretty sure that is probably not what you mean.

Grace Note

Like, the first arduino thing I saw was a real-life "breakable" Minecraft block. It's probably somewhere in this chat transcript.

FallenAngelEyes

22:16

@AshleyNunn XD

Ian Pugsley

@LessPop_MoreFizz this will haunt my dreams

FallenAngelEyes

Aug 27 '11 at 21:38, by FallenAngelEyes

It's... it's an IRL Minecraft block. This is awesome.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz That is....very disconcerting.

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes That is cool, even though I know next to nothing about Minecraft (other than people build cool things in it, so it is like LEGO on the computer sorta)

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes I pride myself on instantly knowing what a piezo element is, though

FallenAngelEyes

22:20

@LessPop_MoreFizz How does the composite sketch software work? Does it just go off the written description or is a person involved with telling the software what to do?

LessPop_MoreFizz

> In terms of image-construction itself, Davis used the forensic software program Faces ID, which gives users (creepily, incredibly) about 10,000 individual facial features to choose among. He then used the authors' descriptions of their characters as guidelines in his selections, selecting the most true-to-text facial features, Identikit-style. For the inevitable gaps in the characters' descriptions (noses and ears, Davis discovered, were often ignored by authors)

> , he did some educated guesswork, considering factors like the era the author was writing in and other elements of the story that might inform its characters' appearance.

FallenAngelEyes

@LessPop_MoreFizz Aah okay, thanks.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FallenAngelEyes More details

Ronan Forman

@Fallen I need to get me one of those.

Tristan

How do you queue up a YouTube video to start at a certain time?

murgatroid99

22:25

@Tristan There is an option when you click share

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan Threaten it.

FallenAngelEyes

@LessPop_MoreFizz Vaughn looks messed up

Tristan

@murgatroid99 Thanks!

GnomeSlice

@RavenDreamer There is no audio information included in MIDI.

MIDI is a controller.

JohnoBoy

@agent86 What platform did you play Batman AC on?

John the Green

22:31

Huh. The 2 things I was waiting for a new version of came out at once. What to play, what to play...

Ian Pugsley

@JohntheGreen what are your options?

John the Green

Wow. For scoring so low in the primaries, @ArdaXi and @RonanForman went really far.

FallenAngelEyes

@JohntheGreen Wow, having you with a new avatar and @JohnoBoy in here with one a bit similar to your old one is really confusing

Arda Xi

I'm surprised people voted for me.

John the Green

@IanPugsley Minecraft mod that makes it like 1602A.D. (aka super awesome) and Dwarf Fortress. I told myself I'd try it when the new version came out because the new version looks awesome too.

Arda Xi

22:33

Not to sound self-deprecating... I couldn't have been a worse candidate if I tried.

Tristan

@agent86 Curses! I was too slow on editing my incorrect answer! >.<

JohnoBoy

@FallenAngelEyes Sorry for confusing you :/ I really should pick a unique avatar

Ian Pugsley

@JohntheGreen I don't like DF but I'd say probably DF :P

John the Green

@FallenAngelEyes I'm the original John.

JohnoBoy

I'm never good at picking avatars...

John the Green

22:34

@JohnoBoy Me neither, as everyone here can testify.

Speaking of that, A for effort, @Ullallulloo!

FallenAngelEyes

@JohnoBoy Hehe, s'okay, just funny that yours is also green, like @JohntheGreen's was

Ronan Forman

Well we both had lots of both up and downvotes, and because you can't downvote in the election it makes sanse.

agent86

@JohnoBoy Xbox 360

John the Green

@RonanForman True, but I had upvotes and not really many downvotes, so why didn't I do better than you?

JohnoBoy

@JohntheGreen Let's pick the same avatar and confuse @FallenAngelEyes

John the Green

22:35

Whoa...@agent86's new avatar is a tad creepy.

JohnoBoy

@agent86 I played it it the PS3. Just wanted to know...

John the Green

@JohnoBoy All I would have to do is go back to my last one. It was a default one very similar to yours. :P

Ullallulloo

@John :P

John the Green

I changed my chat parent to a site where I still have my old picture. You may refresh chat now.

agent86

@JohnoBoy yeah, there's still a few of the challenges I have yet to unlock. I got distracted by KoA.

@John Turn to the DARK SIDE. EMBRACE YOUR INNER DARTH!

John

22:36

@Ullallulloo I seriously considered using it, but figured it would make me look weird to everyone that isn't in chat all the time.

@agent86 Decided you had to become a Darth since you're a diamond now?

OrigamiRobot

@agent86 You've been a mod for how long?

John

Speaking of which, why isn't your name blue yet?

@OrigamiRobot 2 hours?

JohnoBoy

@agent86 I finished only the fighting challneges. I should go back sometime and platinum the game

agent86

@John I told Raven I'd wear a darth mask if I won the election. I honor my election promises.

John

@agent86 Oh, then WHERE'S MY MONEY?!

OrigamiRobot

22:39

@agent86 Now honor my election promise and get @Lazers an appropriate avatar!

agent86

@OrigamiRobot I don't believe I'm one yet. I don't think the election gives me immediate access to the mod powers. I've tried pressing the "LAZERS" button and it still says "ACCESS DENIED"

John

@Tristan Woo! Yay!

agent86

@John money? You can have some expired condiment packets, if you like...

Ullallulloo

@John It takes a couple hours for them to do it.

John

@agent86 But...you promised...

@Ullallulloo I seem to recall something about that...why isn't it faster?

Ullallulloo

22:41

@John Because it's manual, and people are slow, I suppose.

agent86

okay, time to switch environments, I'll be back in a bit... try not to break anything

John

@Ullallulloo They have >200 mods and it's still manual? This surprises me.

Q: Is there a shop at the Ballads Oratory?

When I reached the Ballads Oratory as part of the Ballad of Bloody Bones quest my backpack was completely full, so I was delighted to see that the map showed there was a shop inside. However I talked to everyone inside and no one offered the "shop" option. Is this a bug, or is there something I ...

Q: Looking for a strip poker old-based game on DOS

That's. I'm looking for a strip poker old-based game on DOS, it has real video. And it was only for dos. I dont think they can be too much games with that description, video and for DOS. thanks!

identify-this-game dos

Ullallulloo

@John The site doesn't even calculate the results on it's own.

John

By the way, did anyone act on that chat flag?

@Ullallulloo It's like we're in the stone age.

JohnoBoy

22:42

@agent86 How is KoA, by the way? I liked the demo but I wonder if the full game is worth it

Oak

@Lazers this is problematic. On the one hand, we really need more information to be able to answer that. On the other hand, providing more detailed information may make the question NSFW.

StrixVaria

@Oak Also it's ITG and they are evil and should be burninated.

John

@Oak Close it and be done with it.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria Oak doesn't like fire.

Ronan Forman

@John I had more upvote than you, so more votes in the election, but also more downvotes, but they don't factor in.

Oak

22:43

@John that is indeed what I've voted on

John

We can keep good ITG, but I don't see why we should go to the trouble to help bad questions of a type we don't want in the first place.

Oak

@OrigamiRobot trees are flammable

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot I know, and it bothers me that we now are going to have yet another mod that doesn't hate ITG.

@John There is no such thing as good ITG.

user15026

@StrixVaria Agreed.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria ITGs can be good questions, just never good for this site.

StrixVaria

22:45

@OrigamiRobot Sure.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria People get hung up on the distinction.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Yeah. They don't fit here. There are other places online where they do, but this isn't it.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot When I'm talking about the merit of a question, I'm always talking in reference to the site.

I'll give game-rec and ITG answers in chat all day long.

Those are honestly fun discussion topics.

But they are not good Gaming.SE topics.

Oak

ITGs are awesome. Answering them gives me 1/8th of an orgasm.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria I know that, but others might not. I know its a pain to explain every single time.

Sterno

22:47

I don't think the dude cared which strip poker game he got... he just wanted some strip poker!

Wipqozn

@Oak I don't think "Helping people makes me happy" is an argument for why ITG should be allowed.

4

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn This is why I voted for you.

That's so smart!

/fanboy

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria oh my, I've always wanted a fanboy!

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn Well too bad. It's already over.

John

@StrixVaria @Wipqozn has a fanboy?! o.O This is immensely scary.

badp

22:48

@Wipqozn 1/8th of an orgasm is at least 'estatic', not 'happy'

StrixVaria

Did you not see the slash?

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn I think 'we should help people' is.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria I still love you and that means @StrixVaria does by default.

user15026

@GnomeSlice We can't help everyone.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Not really, otherwise we should allow all questions.

Oak

22:49

@Wipqozn not giving it as a reason, just sayin' :)

John

@OrigamiRobot You love @StrixVaria which means that @StrixVaria loves @StrixVaria?

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice We should answer expert questions about gaming. If that helps people, then so be it.

GnomeSlice

Details.

Wipqozn

If we start allowing any and all questions we would just be Yahoo answer shutters

user15026

@Wipqozn Do you mean shudders, or are you closing your metaphorical windows?

OrigamiRobot

22:50

@John Does this not make sense to you?

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn ...the second one...yes

user15026

@Wipqozn That is horrifying to contemplate.

John

@OrigamiRobot No, it doesn't.

StrixVaria

Yahoo answers is the Camden of the Internet.

OrigamiRobot

@John You should robot more.

StrixVaria

22:51

Those of you who don't live in NJ won't understand that reference, but it's bad.

John

@OrigamiRobot I, no bot.

user15026

@Wipqozn That would be an effective ITG deterrent - if the windows are closed, they can't sneak in XD

Wipqozn

We really do need to revisit the discussion on ITG in meta.

OrigamiRobot

@John @IanPugsley would hate you.

John

@OrigamiRobot What? Why?

JohnoBoy

22:52

I love how people send message @JohntheGreen and it highlights them for me :/

OrigamiRobot

@John He hates puns that aren't his.

user15026

@JohnoBoy That's real nice of chat. XD

John

@JohnoBoy Really? Huh. Sorry.... be more popular! :P

OrigamiRobot

@JohnoBoy thats...problematic.

JohnoBoy

Yes. At least it doesn't play notifications.

John

22:53

@JohnoBoy It makes sense, considering that the auto-reply only uses the first word of my name, which also matches the beginning of yours.

JohnoBoy

Well, thank god there's only just two johns in the room right now ;)

OrigamiRobot

Anyway, think of ITGs this way: Can answers be confirmed or denied by anyone but the asker?

John

Nevermind, I forgot I changed my chat parent back to just "John". >.>

@JohnoBoy If you haven't refreshed recently, do that. You too @FallenAngelEyes! ;)

OrigamiRobot

Spoiler Alert: No

Wipqozn

@John Oh good. I missed seeing that default gravatar of yours.

JohnoBoy

22:55

@OrigamiRobot Can you say this about every other question on this site?

John

@OrigamiRobot It's that rock problem @Raven talked about on Meta once...

@JohnoBoy Most can be confirmed by someone else, yes.

StrixVaria

Wait I misunderstood that argument.

OrigamiRobot

@JohnoBoy People with Skyrim can confirm Skyrim answers.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria Yeah, I thought he meant to say "can't"

FallenAngelEyes

@John Aaaaaaaaagh

John

22:56

@Wipqozn Well you will only see it on chat. And every site except Gaming.

@FallenAngelEyes Don't worry, on the main site I'm still green. :P

Err, a different green.

The Green.

Wipqozn

@John I prefer this John though.

JohnoBoy

Well, I see questions like "I've encountered this bug, how can I fix it". And aside from people encountering the same issue, who else can confirm the answer?

John

@Wipqozn Weren't you one of the people telling me I needed a gravatar?

StrixVaria

@JohnoBoy I hate these questions too, so that's not really an argument.

Wipqozn

@John That's only because I wanted you to change it to a frowny face.

John

22:57

@JohnoBoy Assuming the bug is reproducible, anyone who cares.

OrigamiRobot

@John This conversation was happening before I got involved in meta. From what little I had heard, the main argument was that they did not benefit any future users. This is the point I disagreed with and became fixated on.

John

@Wipqozn I would do that in chat if it didn't require me to have that on a site somewhere.

JohnoBoy

I do think ITG really are one-shots - once they've been answered, they're most likely no use to other users.

Wipqozn

@John just make an account on a site you don't use

OrigamiRobot

@JohnoBoy I also hate technical issues questions for the same reasons.

Wipqozn

22:58

use that as your chat one, et cetera

John

@Wipqozn I have a few of those. I was surprised that @YiJiang's elections page said I was active on twelve sites. I really spend too much time here.

StrixVaria

Why can't we just get rid of all these questions where the answers are all speculation?

SPECULATION IS BAD

4

It's that simple.

JohnoBoy

Unless by a stroke of luck someone lands on the question for the game he was looking for while googling

John

@StrixVaria This. This. 1000 times this.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria Speculation is good. In comments.

StrixVaria

22:59

Now I'm going home.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Exactly.

John

@StrixVaria Goodbye!
