2:03 PM
I think I'll be playing the D3 beta some today, if anyone wants to add me as a friend
 
@IanPugsley ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! You say that as soon as I come in here?!?!
it's a conspiracy.
 
Any of you playing Tribes Ascend btw?
Funnily I have like a 4 wins to 1 loss record despite my being on the bottom of the scoreboard all the time
I'm not sure I get it
Basically the only weapon I can get kills with is the thumper DX for the soldier, some kind of long range loch'n'load.
 
2:28 PM
@badp I got into the beta, but then I was terrible so stopped playing.
@spugsley heh, nicely played @IanPugsley
 
@Wipqozn You are the worst
 
@spugsley hey, I didn't make the joke, I just complimented the one that did.
 
@badp I play it, though I haven't played it in a few patches
 
wow the flag music is a nice idea
why would I cap when I get the nice music all for myself
 
@Wipqozn Yes but somehow this is all your fault, I'm sure
 
2:38 PM
@spugsley I'm okay with this.
 
@badp I've heard it's really good, and did manage to finish downloading it, but haven't given it a go yet.
 
@GnomeSlice I wouldn't be surprised if you had to practically redownload it entirely based on how much time ago your download has been
 
@badp Ah...
 
@Strix You 'round?
 
> find the little ninja guy
@badp you of all people should see him.
 
2:58 PM
Oh look, a programming project I undertook hasn't failed before it had at least its basic functionality.
 
@ArdaXi good job!
 
Now to make it usable.
Which will be a chore because I code messily.
Now's a good time to make a Git repository so I have working code to fall back on.
 
Nobody?
 
I see a big ninja guy.
And there's the two eyes right above the T.
(At least I think it's a T)
 
@ArdaXi That was quick...
@ArdaXi Yep, 'Datsik'.
 
3:06 PM
Well, it's a little unobvious that it is a ninja at all.
 
I didn't notice him until I read the comments.
On Solid Soul Media's facebook page.
Man, this guy's art is amazing.

Q: What is and how do you get the Killstreak medals in Mass Effect 3?

ChealionI've seen the killstreak medal appear a handful of times and yesterday learned there are actually three levels to it (just like most medals) but have never been able to figure out what triggers them. A multikill of some kind? Or is it a number of kills by the team without anyone going down?

Q: Weapon challenges not registering

NicolaiI don't think I understand how the weapon challenges work. I always use the same weapon, yet I have 0 progress, in it's challenges. How do I make the challenges count? Do I need to select it somehow? Marksman (get 10 kills) and Expert (get 5 headshots) are both unlocked (There's no lock icon nex...

Q: Opening minecraft.jar and looking at its files

parioscreationsI'm new to this Java business but not new AT ALL to Minecraft. After studying Java for about 6-7 months now, I am interested in what classes Minecraft has and would like to look at them (especially the creeper). I am very intrigued by how Notch made Minecraft in eclipse and not a good gaming eng...

 
..........
That's how he spoke.
 
@GnomeSlice That's the joke.
 
@Wipqozn It's not funny, everyone knows he was a robot...
 
@GnomeSlice oh, no, it's hilarious.
 
3:29 PM
@Wipqozn yeah, I loled
 
@Wipqozn I challenge this.
I'm pretty vulgar.
 
@GnomeSlice Go right ahead.
@GnomeSlice Not really.
 
Oak
@Lazers so...
Isn't this off-topic?
 
@Oak Yes...
@Oak LOL at the plug for his server prowess.
 
@Oak Very much so, yes.
 
Oak
3:35 PM
Trying to find a reason not to mod-close this
Can't really think of one...
 
What site would that be on-topic for? Super UseR?
 
Oak
I guess...
 
"Is it possible to examine the contents of a .jar file" is something I'd consider on-topic somewhere
 
Oak
We do have an explicit policy against mod development questions, but this is more an "I'm just curious" question
Still I think @Wipqozn is spot-on

Q: Can you configure Windows to open JAR files like ZIP files without a 3rd party tool?

jodonnellI'd like to be able to examine the contents of a JAR file without having to install Winzip or some other tool and without having to rename the file. Windows Explorer can open ZIP files just fine; is there some registry setting I can use to let it treat JARs like ZIPs?

It's already been answered on super user, so just left a comment explaining it is off-topic with a link to that question.
 
Oak
3:40 PM
@Wipqozn however, maybe the question can be edited to become "how do I browse minecraft's codebase"
@Wipqozn it's not the same question
 
@Oak ah, okay. You're right.
 
Oak
If we edit it to be "how do I browse", then it becomes slightly better and there is a good answer for that - that MCP thing
 
deletes comment
MCP?
 
Oak
Listed in the question's answer
Also it is similar to:

Q: How do I extract the music from the game files?

JoeCoderI love the Starcraft 2 music. Is there any way to extract it from the game files? From there, I can probably transcode it if necessary.

 
@GraceNote I am now.
 
Oak
3:42 PM
I think I'll edit the question to be a general "how do I browse minecraft code", then. Maybe still close-worthy, but still better
 
@StrixVaria You hear about the upcoming Gen V games?
 
I just saw it a few minutes ago.
The details are scarce so far.
 
That they are, but I can already hear the cries of anguish from those who had been so totally sure on "Pokemon Grey" or "Pokemon Clear"
 
I expected something like "Pokemon Gray" but I'm not going to get upset that I was wrong.
 
I expected a single game, myself
 
3:44 PM
I'm not sure how I feel about 2 more games in the same world, though.
How much more can they add to it to make that worthwhile?
 
@Oak IF we allowed this question, then I'm not so sure we should be closing the minecraft one.
 
I don't know. I'm not even sure what the version difference would amount to this time around.
 
crashes through his own logo
 
@oak: In fact, if we allowed the Starcraft quesiton then I don't see any reason to not allow this Minecraft one.
@Fredy31 You're going to run out of things to crash through eventually.
 
I doubt it @Wipqozn
By the way, what's game on today?
 
Oak
3:47 PM
@Wipqozn edited
 
@GraceNote I'm already on my 3rd playthrough of this Gen. I don't know what they could do to make me buy another game to do yet another one.
 
Oak
@Wipqozn I agree, the two are very similar, especially after my edit. Either close none or both :)
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, without a big sell yet, I'm not really inclined to buy either. I haven't actually bought any of the "Third entries" thus far.
 
I never even finished B/W. Just couldn't hold my interest long enough.
 
3:51 PM
@GnomeSlice Just text-linking images isn't enough. You still have to mark NSFW.
 
What's nsfw about it.
 
Lots of stuff.
 
@StrixVaria This, but thanks for text-linking it to begin with @GnomeSlice.
 
@StrixVaria Like?
 
@GnomeSlice She's specifically in a sexy pose, which is already inappropriate for work regardless of dressed-ness. But the fact that her ass is pretty much completely hanging out doesn't do anything for your argument either.
And I can't believe I had to spell it out for you.
 
3:54 PM
@GnomeSlice Could you put a NSFW on that? It was just flagged, and I would like to dismiss the flag since you had the foresight to text link it, and didn't seem to believe it was NSFW.
 
@StrixVaria You should have known better.
@Wipqozn No, I can't any longer, and someone else just made it look retarded anyway.
 
@GnomeSlice This "I'm going to push the boundaries of what is acceptable and pretend to be ignorant" thing is getting really really really annoying.
 
@StrixVaria I text linked it. =[
@GraceNote Can you change that to (nsfw) please.
 
@StrixVaria Although I agree with you that gnome does this, I think this is a case of an honest mistake by Gnome.
Who has been nice enough to correct his mistake once we pointed it out.
 
That's why I pointed it out instead of just immediately flagging.
 
Oak
3:56 PM
@GnomeSlice that was me. And I'm actually not entirely convinced it's NSFW, hence the "might". But having flags on it is reason enough to edit it.
 
So, let's get to a more pressing matter - why does Gnome want a car now?
 
Oak
@GraceNote car? I thought it was the earrings he wanted!
They're retro-rad
retrad
 
NSFW doesn't mean "this isn't appropriate for a casual environment". It means exactly what it says: If my boss walked by and seen this on my computer, it wouldn't go over well.
 
@Wipqozn Generally, things even alluding to sex are NSFW.
 
Oak
@Wipqozn won't he also mind you're on chat? :) but I do understand what you mean. Edited one final time.
 
3:59 PM
@StrixVaria Exactly, which is the key difference in this case between a casual environment and an office environment.
@Oak he might :P
 
@Oak From a distance he couldn't tell if you were on chat. But that picture kinda gives it away.
 
Oak
@RonanForman that is a good point
 
I truly appreciate your attempt to improve my grammar through pointing out some of my many mistakes @GraceNote :P
 
You're welcome. ♪
 
@Oak All my points are good points.
 
4:03 PM
@RonanForman Hello there Wipq- wait, whoa, I thought you were that brilliant wipqozn fellow for a moment there.
 
omgggg I am so boredddddddd
working on Sunday is the worst
 
I may see if I can borrow my brothers steam account to join in on that.
 
@spugsley psh, bored when you have internet access? that's unpossible.
 
@RonanForman I was about to say I didn't realize you had a brother, then I remembered he was the fellow I heard yesterday that I thought was a little girl laughing.
 
4:07 PM
@Agent It should be, yet we still manage it.
 
@agent86 Unprobable? Yes. Unpossible? Imlikely.
 
@agent86 it's fake internet. I can't access about 90% of it
 
@spugsley And we are the 10%?
 
@StrixVaria Better get off the internet then. :P
 
@Wipqozn That's my other brother, the one who's at uni has L4D
 
4:08 PM
@spugsley fake internet!? dawwwwww
 
@Wipqozn Doesn't he have two brothers and a sister?
 
@GnomeSlice There are plenty of safe places on the internet, and this is supposed to be one of them.
 
It... it is.
 
@Grace I have a sister?
 
@RonanForman I'm assuming you do, @GraceNote can't be wrong.
 
4:09 PM
Okay, I guess you don't. I thought you did for some reason.
 
@RavenDreamer is 'Pure Bang Games' the company producing this ios game?
Because they're now following me on Twitter.
 
@RonanForman yeeeessss... your sister! your feelings betray her.
 
@ArdaXi Yup. I can access this chat but almost nothing else on SE. Feel special?
 
@spugsley We are the 10%!
(That'd work better if you said you could only access 1% of the internet.)
 
@Wipqozn I could've just misrecalled an issue. It's not the worst it's gone. Once I ended up attributing 7 younger siblings to an only child.
 
4:11 PM
@GraceNote Sibling Overflow
 
In my defense, though, they were adorably precocious and this was in like an underwater airport.
 
@GraceNote People have attributed siblings to me before.
The scary part is that upon seeing the alleged sibling, I started having doubts myself.
 
Heh
 
@GraceNote I love that I have no context for this at all. I am entertained.
 
@ArdaXi All families have secrets.
 
4:12 PM
@spugsley I could loan you a toddler... I have two currently screaming at me
 
@GraceNote I may have misread you there. What?
 
bored is not a word I could use to describe the current situation
 
@agent86 That sounds unfun.
 
@agent86 OMG no. Were you not here for the baby punching conversation? I will punch your babies. Is that really what you want?!?!
5
 
@GnomeSlice No, you didn't misread me there.
 
4:13 PM
@GraceNote You have, like, the weirdest anecdotes.
 
@spugsley they probably wouldn't like that much.
 
@GraceNote I was afraid you'd say that.
 
@GraceNote I feel like if you kept a diary, you could probably sell it as some kind of fantasy novel.
 
I keep a dream diary.
 
@GraceNote That's pretty cool.
 
4:14 PM
That'd probably work even better.
 
@ArdaXi I would read that right away
 
HAH IT WORKS.
 
@Oak Yes! It's an adventure map that two teams play simultaneously. At the end there's a lever, first team to pull the lever wins
 
@GraceNote I haven't had a dream [that I remembered] since I was like 6. =[
 
@fredley Sounds like it would be perfect for Game on!
 
4:15 PM
It'd be more of a "Collection of short stories", though, because as yet, there's only really been three scenarios I can call to mind that a dream from a later date had anything to do with a dream from an earlier date.
 
@Wipqozn That's the idea!
 
@fredley Keep on being awesome.
 
And that's excluding the ones where, like, I wake up, go to the bathroom, go back to sleep, enter a new dream, and then wake up back in the dream from before I went to the bathroom.
 
Are you making this by yourself @fredley, or do you have people helping you?
 
@Wipqozn At least another afternoon's worth of being awesome before it's ready to play
@Wipqozn John and Ronan helped a bit, I've had it to myself for the past day or so when I've done most of the work though
 
4:16 PM
I really should keep a dream diary. Stuff like lucid dreaming is useless if you can't actually remember your dream.
 
> The main guy I fought, some large and elder man, walks into the kitchen and sees a slice of bread and some butter next to it. He begins to apply butter to the slice while walking, and slips along butter laid over the ground. He looks to find a stick of butter and angrily tries to remove it, but instead causes a cheese slicer to slash his hand very sharply. There may’ve been one more step to the trick, but it was enough time that I stole his gun and retreated to the next room.
Okay, I actually barely remember this one, but out of context it was a very odd thing to see.
 
@GraceNote You have some fairly interesting dreams.
 
@GraceNote I love you. You've made working on Sunday super awesome all of a sudden
 
I rarely remember my dreams anymore, they are normally fairly mundane as well. Although I rather enjoy my mundane dreams.
 
I have a dream worth remembering once a month at most.
 
4:18 PM
I know you're supposed to always dream, and just not remember it the nights you think you haven't, but I'm starting to think I'm an exception.
 
I never have mundane dreams though. They're always like "a contaminated sphere is given as a birthday present and turns all adults into zombies"
 
That one is codswallop in comparison to the ones like where Linus, exiled to the desert for years, comes back as a vengeful "Death Monkey" spirit that can only be stopped by the efforts of heroes like the Legendary Pirate King, Charlie Brown.
Linus was also one of those said heroes before his unfortunate fate, too, so it was actually very sad to the world to see what had happened to him.
 
I'm now picturing Death Monkey Linus Torvalds.
 
Despite the very simplistic and unintimidating name, he was actually a very fearsome and powerful beast. Some kind of desert undead being with far more supernatural strength than one would ever hope to face.
 
Morning, guys
 
4:22 PM
G'mornin'
 
Good afternoon.
 
Oak
@Moonlighter evening
 
@Oak Hrm, I thought you were all CET-like.
 
Hello again @Moonlighter!
Was glad to see you joined us for Game on yesterday.
 
4:23 PM
@Wipqozn oh :)
 
@Wipqozn @Moonlighter Yeah, that was great. =]
 
@GnomeSlice That's pretty awesome.
Nice work @GnomeSlice
 
It's ridiculous.
 
Yeah it was ^^
 
The way I built my model. I can't rig it with bones like we're supposed to be doing.
 
Oak
4:24 PM
@ArdaXi nope... but it's also evening in Europe as well
 
@GnomeSlice is that 3d max ? I'm not able to do a sphere on that thing.Good job.
 
@Oak No, it's afternoon in the two west-most European timezones.
 
@Moonlighter You're... not? There's a sphere object.
 
Oak
@ArdaXi I suppose... it's 18:25 here
 
Including Correct Earth Time.
 
Oak
4:25 PM
Evening-ish
 
17:25 here. Evening starts at 18:00.
 
Hrm... this is probably the easiest program I've ever made.
Of course now I have the fun assignment of creating a PAM.
 
You've created 3d max? '-'
 
4:28 PM
...Not quite sure what's going on here... the other arm seems fine... Everything appears to move correctly though.
 
@Moonlighter No, I'm working on something else.
 
Oh right.
 
I really wish Metal Drift were free so we could play it for Game On! sets.
 
@GnomeSlice I thought it was free?
 
I got it when it was like $2 over Christmas on Steam and I absolutely love it.
@Wipqozn ...No? You're thinking of Airmech, probably.
 
4:31 PM
hm, yeah it's $10. I remember you suggesting it before, and I thought- OH NO
I know what I'm thinking of.
There was another game you suggested, a racing one.
 
> Axes do not work on opponents without heads, unless you are wearing Mud Boots
 
Realm of the Mad God is free? What?
 
@Wipqozn ...Yes.
@Wipqozn Uh... OH Trackmania?
 
All GameOn are gonna be free games ?
 
@Moonlighter Mostly, it's easier to get people to play them if they're free.
 
4:32 PM
@GnomeSlice That's the one!
 
@Moonlighter We usually shoot for that as it's easier for everyone to join in.
 
@Wipqozn Looked into it at all? I haven't downloaded it yet, but I'm not going to bother because my internet will die. I've played it before though, it's great.
 
@Moonlighter We do play non-free games as well, like Minecraft, but we aim for them to be popular enough that most users will already own it.
 
Minecraft¬¬
Well, that seems good ^^
I'll be able to join all non-paid games :)
 
@Moonlighter ಠ_ಠ*
@Moonlighter What did you think of Tankball? :P
 
4:34 PM
Not sure how much you've looked into Game On, but the idea is that we have two stock games that we play for 3 weeks (minecraft and Leage of Legends), and then we play two different games the fourth week. We then return to those stock games for three more weeks, then on the fourth week we play two different games again.
 
@Wipqozn About that: Why don't we do one stock game + one different game each week?
 
@GnomeSlice I've thought about that, but I think the current format is working really well.
Both the Minecraft and LoL turn-out was been very good.
 
I had some suggestions about that actually.
 
@GnomeSlice i tought it was fun !
I will visit that later for some training tho -_- i suck!
@Wipqozn yeah, i saw that on meta. i voted too.
 
Trying to think of a good 'finale' for this map
 
4:38 PM
LoL is free, right ?
 
@Wipqozn Those two games get good turnout, and it seems like those people just don't bother coming on the fourth week when we play the other games. If we mixed them in more with the others, I think we might get some more people joining in to the other games.
 
@Moonlighter Yup.
 
@fredley Lava.
:3
 
@GnomeSlice Doing what with it though?
 
@fredley Putting it all over everything.
 
Oak
4:38 PM
I think LoL is something I'd be willing to play in a friendly environment
 
@fredley Explode the whole map with TNT.
 
Hey, I was playing with that guy yesterday.
Nice fellow.
@StrixVaria This.
 
@GnomeSlice That's a valid line of reasoning. Although I think the reason people don't turn out for the fourth-week games is that that they are not as popular, so I have my doubts that would make a difference.
 
@StrixVaria Difficult, there's redstone everyhwere, and lots of different layers. Easy to get wrong

Q: Any World War 2 Stratergy Games?

amal antonyDoes anyone know of any good world war 2 strategy games, similar to Age of Empires? I know of Commandos, but I'm looking at games where strategy can be made with a bigger overview, like say controlling large units of the army, air force, navy etc

 
4:39 PM
@Wipqozn Right, so maybe mixing them in with the more popular ones would get more people involved?
 
@Oak You mentioned this previously, too
 
Oak
@GraceNote downloading :)
 
@fredley Spawn 300 Ghasts.
 
Oak
Oh I need to register :\ oh well
 
@Oak Downloading which? The downloader, the game, or the patches?
 
Oak
4:40 PM
@GraceNote something that weighs 20 MB
 
@GnomeSlice Lol, I like it, but Egg-based spawners not in till 1.2
 
Oh, right, if you want to play with the majority of us, you'd need to be on the North America server, by the by.
 
@fredley /spawn ghast 300
Oh, it's not bukkit, is it. =[
 
Oak
@GraceNote oh lovely that's gonna hurt
 
Even a lot of the Euro folks are on the NA server, and half of them actually beat my performance anyway...
 
Oak
4:41 PM
I'm not in Europe, though :)
 
@GnomeSlice It might. I'll keep your points in mind, and if I feel like we need to switch how it works I will.
 
So, my indie pick of the week is Climb to the top of the Castle!, by TwO Bros. games.
 
There's also the option to simply modify the Stock games for a cycle if we feel we want something different.
 
One of the complaints I received about the previous structure is people wanted to play the same games for a few weeks before moving onto different games.
 
4:43 PM
Wow what a shitty trailer.
 
So I'd be worried your solution might not do enough to solve that problem. It's very similiar to something badp suggested as well.
 
@Wipqozn Agreed, but you could do Minecraft + ____ for a few weeks, where the ___ is a different game each week.
 
@GnomeSlice no, Two Toasters
 
@Oak No, but it's the closer one, I would imagine, than NA.
 
@RavenDreamer Ah, right.
 
4:43 PM
Still, though, NA server's where it's at
 
I was wondering why I kept seeing the word 'toasters' in those documents.
 
Oak
@GraceNote absolutely
@GraceNote I'll give it a go, though, for next game on... when is it, actually?
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I've thought about that too. We already swapped out TF2 since it wasn't working, so it's possible we'll do that again.
 
I don't know.
 
@Oak next week, sunday to be exact.
 
4:46 PM
@Mana is such a dick.
 
@GnomeSlice Well that seems a little uncalled for.
 
@GraceNote What's this about a car?
 
Oak
@Wipqozn thanks
 
I don't drive...
 
Although I asusme there is more back store than I realized.
Or mana just joined the room and my internet is lagging and didn't show me until now.
 
4:47 PM
@GnomeSlice It was in relation to the picture from afore that was the topic of discussion at the time.
 
Trololololol.
@GraceNote Oh, I see.
 
@GnomeSlice Not sure if you noticed, but there was a car in that picture too.
 
@Wipqozn Yes, I did.
Thanks.
You guys are such dicks.
 
@GnomeSlice Thanks, I try my best.
 
sigh
@Wipqozn Have you looked into Trackmania at all?
 
4:50 PM
So I can buy a 4gb memory card for 15$, an 8 gb memory card for 20$, and a 16 gb memory card for 50$.
 
@GnomeSlice I have, I'm thinking about including it in a future game on.
 
How is that a sensible pricing scheme?
 
We rarely play racing games, so it would be a nice change of pace of a fourth week game.
@RavenDreamer I find it amusing that you think "sensible" reasons into how companies price their products.
 
@RavenDreamer they just have too many 8 gb cards on stock and wants to get rid of them.
 
I find out Google was lying to me anyway
4gig for 20, 8gig for 30, 16gig for 60, 32gig for 100.
 
4:52 PM
@RavenDreamer No, that's pretty standard, actually. 8Gb cards are usually the cheapest/best deal of the lot.
 
Is there a physical reason for that, or is it just a "we're abusing psychology to get more people to buy these".
 
I have no idea.
 
@RavenDreamer There might just be a storage density that is currently optimal for manufacture
 
@RavenDreamer I assume they're just abusing psychology. Greed, et cetera.
