No. These are dirty puppets:
Meet the Feebles (sometimes mistakenly referred to as Just The Feebles) is a 1989 black comedy film directed by Peter Jackson. It features Jim Henson-esque puppets in a perverse comic satire. Like Henson's Muppets, the Feebles are animal-figured puppets (though some were people in suits) assembled together as members of a theatre troupe. However, whereas Henson's Muppets characterise the positivity, naïve folly, and innocence in humanity, the Feebles present negativity, vice, and other misanthropic characteristics. The movie has become a cult classic, and has enjoyed great popularity si...
And if you have not seen that, you should... get in touch with me.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have not seen this. I have watched more sesame street recently than is strictly healthy, though.
 
@agent86 I think you need an antidote.
Toss me an email. Keith at lesspopmorefizz dot website for commercial use
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Wow, that one took me a bit to untangle. Good way to defeat email scrapers, though.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ROFL: I’m not a lawyer, but it seems to me the guys who were actually in the band with the song writer would have more right to his music than the person who killed him. That seems like a bad precedent.
 
@James Sadly often untrue.
 
7:06 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Just a quote from the article that made me LOL :)
 
@James yea, I know
 
But yeah, publishers and such own the rights to the songs they distribute.

Q: Is the lockpicking skill good for anything other than picking locks?

AubergineSince skill points are gained rather slowly in Kingdoms of Amalur, I find myself giving quite a bit of thought as to what skill I invest in each level. I currently have two points invested in lockpicking, and I am wondering if I have any reason to invest any further in the skill. I find it rela...

Q: Do classes affect what can be bought on the citadel?

Samuel StandrinWill a soldier get different items to a infiltrator or vanguard. e.g. different weapons.

Q: Do different classes get different weapons?

Samuel StandrinIn ME1 and ME2 classes got specific weapons to use e.g. solider got everything except smg. With the addition of the load out customization I do not understand whether or not this has been carried over to ME3. I cannot find anything on the ME wiki about this and would like a more direct source, ...

Q: Are there advantages to not killing Big Daddies in BioShock?

ahsteeleI just now picked up BioShock. I have yet to face a Big Daddy, but have been introduced to them via an in game cut scene. Before I engage in mortal combat with one I had a question about the necessity to engage them. I think I remember reading / hearing that you could complete BioShock without ki...

Q: Identify NES side scrolling shoot-em-up game where food featured prominently?

ahsteeleI remember playing an NES side scrolling shoot-em-up game sometime in the late 80s and early 90s. You flew around collecting powerups. Boss fights were generally against a food type e.g. watermelon and donuts. I believe the game allowed for simultaneous cooperative multiplayer. Anyone have an id...

Q: How many waves do I have to survive to get an increase in galactic readiness?

FabianI was playing around a bit in multiplayer mode alone in a private game to try out some stuff and noticed that I don't get any improvement in galactic readiness if I fail in one of the early waves. So I wondered how many waves I do have to survive to get some increase to galactic readiness? I ass...

Q: Are the stormclaks fighting a point less war?

JackI am wondering are the stormcloaks wining the civil war worth all the raism they are causing later in the game against all other races

Q: I can't remember this game

TreyPlease help. The game was 1st person but I could still see my man. I had to take steps on this multicolored space platform. I had to avoid the robots. Every time I moved they moved. This was on a floppy disk. Anyone help?

 
@Lazers EWWWWWW
 
@StrixVaria I was always slightly anti, but never enough to vote on anything, I then had an epiphany.
 
7:08 PM
With a statement like that in the article though, I would UGH SPAM!!!.. ANywho... I would not be surprised if they didnt get sued.
I do think that is a fairly direct accusation with no back.. ie: slander :)
 
@OrigamiRobot Kill it.
While we're on the topic of killing questions, can 2 more people please close this:

Q: What's the cause of the South/West Rule?

fredleyThe South/West Rule has a wide variety of effects throughout the game. What actually causes it?

 
@RonanForman I LOVE THE WORD EPIPHANY
 
@OrigamiRobot REALLY WHY
 
How do you get shares?
 
@RonanForman IT SETS ALL THE RIGHT BITS IN MY AUDITORY SENSOR
@StrixVaria I thought this was already closed?
 
7:10 PM
@Lazers Ugh, Subjective out the ass but I actually do know the answer! :)
 
@RareCandy Link a question and have at least 5 people click it.
@OrigamiRobot The other one that's a dupe of this was closed.
 
@RareCandy if you click the "link" button on a post, it will generate a URL that has your user id in it. Share this and get 5 clicks on the link to get credit for one share in the promotion.
 
@StrixVaria You have already voted to close this question
 
@OrigamiRobot I know I have. We need 2 more.
 
@RareCandy if you're also working towards +5s and +8s, you might want to use my magic tool which only gives you URLs that have your user ID encoded in them.
 
7:12 PM
@StrixVaria Wasnt it closed as a dupe of this question though?
 
@RareCandy I'll also note that for sharing links, intra-site links don't count - so this means you can't post your link here, or link it from a question or answer. It has to be something outside the network, ie, share it on twitter, facebook, steam, etc
 
@agent86 I blame you for that not working...
 
@RESPAWN Sorry, we blame badp here. =/
 
@RESPAWN bah. it's not my fault, man.
and welcome to where the actual chat action is :P
 
@Ullallulloo Can I blame both of them then? I've been blaming agent86 for other things for years now. It would feel weird to stop.
 
7:17 PM
@RESPAWN Blaming multiple people is fine.

@RonanForman I'm not really into the Let's Play type stuff
 
@Wipqozn's gone. So I still can't play mass effect!
Why cruel world? Why?!
 
@RonanForman You aren't a slave to @Wipqozn! If you want to play it, play it!
 
@DaveMcClelland Yes he is.
 
7:27 PM
But I need someone otherwise this LP wont work.
 
Also, I'm not afk anymore, but I'm eating in ~10 mins
 
Hey, I'm an Admiral again! Yay!
(unless it's just serial upvoting again)
 
@Wipqozn All i can think is professor abuses power and gets fired
 
Abountying I go!
 
7:30 PM
@Blem Yeah I think public disclosure of a students grades is general against the rules, even if the student is an idiot :D
 
@James It's pretty obvious that the professor is joking. I'd hope.
 
@Sterno I am going to let this one sink in a bit before I gratz ya :)
 
I had plenty of professors publicly tease students about failing if they did something publicly stupid.
 
@James :P
 
even if the student failed by his own fault there would be to many questions about it, not a good thing to do

Q: Can the Paragon choice at the end of Thane's prayer differ based on certain factors?

FallenAngelEyesNote: Here be spoilers. I couldn't really figure out a way to ask this without them. My Shepard is a female who plays (mostly) Renegade and also romanced Thane in Mass Effect 2. I have no idea if this plays out differently depending on whether or not you gained Thane's loyalty in 2, but for the...

Q: Galaxy Readiness Past 100%?

Ian BenoitSo I've played the multiplayer and incresed my Galactic Readiness to 100%. But then after i played another map i got a 5% "Maximum Galactic Readiness." Does this mean that when the Readiness decreases, it will only decrease to 55% instead of 50%? i've looked all over for this but i've found no an...

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Publicly as in the classroom/hall of the institution or publicly as on facebook/yelling down the street by your hosue?
 
@James All of the above.
Grats to our two newest Generals btw.
once it updates.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz Oh man, they tied.
 
@Sterno Ok, Gratz! As you seem to be holding steady :D
 
Now they must race to Admiral!
@James Nah, it always takes a few hours for serial upvoting to get caught :P
 
7:39 PM
@Sterno I made them tie.
 
@Sterno Fine fine, I shall take it back again! :D
 
Because I'm a dick like that.
 
I'll go downvote whichever one doesn't pay me $10!
 
@Sterno ... Speaking of which how do you like being an admiral? :)
 
Pretty sure @FallenAngelEyes is our next General too.
Just sayin'.
 
7:40 PM
@James @agent86 ate all the peanuts. He's a jerk.
 
@Sterno Yeah I don't get it..
Is anyone else finding the huge number of new users asking ITG questions today a bit... out of place?
 
Congrats to the two new Admirals.
 
@RavenDreamer Generals.
They are mere Generals.
Don't worry, they aren't stealin' our peanuts yet.
Unless you mean @agent86 and @Sterno
In which case... they should get their hands offa my peanuts.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz No, I mean the two new Admirals. We have 4 now. I haven't congratulated them.
Until now.
 
7:47 PM
Seth says the TVs are en route!
 
@RavenDreamer Yeah, I said to hold off on mine. About to leave town for two weeks
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have the "luxury" of not having a permanent address of my own.
So I sent it to my folks.
I debated telling them to expect a TV
but I think it'll be funnier to see their surprise.
 
@RavenDreamer I hope they send you a nice thank you card for their new TV :)
 
There's another 10 days of this. I do believe we may in fact end up prize capped at this rate.
Maybe not at the bottom tiers, but I suspect at the top.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I will handle my complimentary peanuts in the manner I see fit.
 
7:51 PM
@agent86 Also, You've Got Mail.
 
@agent86 If you do this in public you will get flagged!
 
Okay, the way I'm doing this may mean that people can watch me play live too.
If I can get this working that is
 
@LessPopMoreFizz Find me 4 more thing to downvote so I can be back at a multiple of 5. Plox.
 
@RavenDreamer wat
@Gigili I honestly have no idea. Sorry
 
7:54 PM
Well played. :D
 
@Wipqozn spam, offensive, it doesn't really matter which one of the two it is
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I need answers to downvote.
 
@badp I have a math formula I'd like to put in my answer, and I don't know how to format it, but I know SE supports math formula formatting.
 
@Sterno Congrats on Admiral!
 
@RavenDreamer well in only a few SE's
 
7:54 PM
@RavenDreamer I thought it only did that on a few sites.
 
Gaming's not one of them
 
MathJax is only enabled on a handful of sites (and was actually broken today anyway, heh.)
 
@BenBrocka @yx Congrats on General!

A: How are cooldowns calculated?

Raven DreamerMass Effect tracks cooldowns differently than in most games. Rather than mapping increases / decreases to the base cooldown of the power (where a 100% reduction would be no cooldown), it increases / decreases the number of uses per second. The Theory is as follows: Assuming a 5 second cooldown ...

 
@RavenDreamer Why not just do an image so you can use a freehand circle?
 
MathJax's too heavy duty to be enabled network wide
 
Also, would asking for help turning that piecewise function (in the last paragraph) into a single function be an appropriate question for Math.SE?
 
(and currently broken on important platforms such as Opera Mobile)
bbl
 
Woohoo, general!
 
@badp "Opera Mobile is an important platform" - lol
 
@agent86 Congrats on General to you too, I just realized I missed you in that lovefest
 
@BenBrocka Gratz :)
 
@Stephen Pfft. @agent86 ain't no piddlin' general.
He's up here in the Admiral club. Not giving a shit, and eatin peanuts with the other Admirals.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz You're right ... no love and a demotion, back to the corner for me I guess
 
7:58 PM
@Stephen thank you, and I forgive you for mislabeling my rank. this time
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I refuse to cast votes on ITG answers because a problem with ITGs is that voting doesn't make sense.
 
next time it's the firing squad!
 
I like how we go from General -> Admiral in the first place, despite those being different branches of the Earth military.
 
luckily we're currently out of rifles :|
 
@OrigamiRobot That is a selection of ITG answers that aren't accepted.
You can downvote them to correct the injustice that is nonsense voting.
 
7:59 PM
Downvote all the ITG posts!

Q: Please help me to identify a PC adventure game from the 90s (I think) that you had to find alien technology

Philip SmithI do not remember much from the game (sorry), but I think you start out as part of the military on a deserted planet (I think they want to learn about the aliens). Your first mission is to find the alien technology (or something like that). It was not a shooting type game but a puzzle solving g...

Q: Tips for reviving downed teammates near walls/cover?

BrysonicReviving downed teammates out in the open is no problem, but sometimes my comrades will suffer a mishap while beside a piece of cover. When this happens, I seem to be more likely to roll around like a Gears of War player or take cover myself than revive anyone. Does anyone have tips on reviving...

Q: Is there a way to remap the inventory hotkeys in Warcraft 3?

EnderWarcraft 3 (and it's expansion The Frozen Throne) has a pretty extensive hotkey customization feature. However I can't seem to find a way to customize the hotkeys for my inventory items. The inventory hotkeys are default set to numpad 7,8,6,5,1, and 2. With each number corresponding to a particu...

 
@agent86 I am curious what they propose as an alternative. If they propose one.
 
Still at 13/35 but plugging away at it. It's become impossible to guess what might get a vote or not ... guess that explains the FGITW style lately.
 
@agent86 I bet you're really regretting that decision to cut the rifle budget in favor of the peanut budget
 
Downvoting the correct answer is also worthwhile since it was a guess before it was accepted. And we shouldn't be guessing here.
 
7:59 PM
Good job on keeping the ITG voting answer downvotes equal.
 
some days I feel like trolling and posting a really pro-ITG argument in here. Then I remember I'm the one who has to step in when other people start to troll and I realize I'd just be making work for myself :|
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't know if they are correct or incorrect and I don't want to waste my time finding out.
 
@OrigamiRobot Sure you do. Some of them are on questions that have other answers that are accepted.
 
Based on the last number of ITG posts I'm strongly thinking about changing my vote to con.
 
@agent86 There's nothing wrong with trolling yourself.
 
8:00 PM
Therefore, these are demonstrably wrong, and can be freely downvoted.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, we'll have to see. I get the impression sometimes that our CHAOS members are stretched pretty thin. Here's hoping they know it's an issue and are coming up with alternatives.
 
@Stephen you can't! SE locks your vote! Bwahhahahhahaha!
 
@agent86 You might also be making an amusing situation for the rest of us :)
 
@agent86 Yeah, I will happily take teevee if it comes down to it. It was what I was after to begin with.
 
@RavenDreamer We can edit the messages to accommodate his change of heart!
 
8:01 PM
But that won't stop me from going down to stack HQ and yelling WHERE'S MY ELEPHANT.
 
@StrixVaria Don't tell him that!
 
@RavenDreamer he can always vote for the alternate option
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I want to come with. :<
 
@RavenDreamer But don't we want ITG to go away?
 
@RavenDreamer That answer might need an edit or something ... muhaha?
 
8:01 PM
@RavenDreamer Come to New York!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz WHERE'S OUR ELEPHANT
 
Can someone test this out? justin.tv/nanor131
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I guess Seth has responded to that Meta question. I was going to go bug Lauren, but now I shall leave her in peace.
 
@RonanForman No dont jump!!
 
@Stephen Poor quality isn't even the main problem. It's just the most visible one.
 
8:04 PM
@RonanForman why doesn't it fill the screen?
 
No idea.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I want video if you go.
 
That better?
 
@OrigamiRobot Not even going to reopen that can of worms ... just going to figure out if a freehand circle will get me some upvotes or not (kidding)
 
8:06 PM
@RonanForman You're on a menu.
 
@RavenDreamer I know, there's also about 2 seconds of lag.
 
Darn it, I have the bridge open in two tabs again...
 
@BenBrocka Hmm it filled it when I originally loaded it up
 
@RavenDreamer you can listen to us whine in stereo
 
@Stephen It will.
 
8:08 PM
oh, it's filling the screen area now
 
@RavenDreamer Anytime anyone posts an image or a question/answer, I end up with it in 3-4 tabs.
 
@OrigamiRobot Maybe you're a Batarian Robot? Then you could have one tab for each eye.
 
For anyone who missed it the first time, there's a kickstarter for Wasteland 2
 
@Sterno I am sure this game will not have a problem getting funded :)
 
@RavenDreamer It is suspected that @Wipqozn created me. Ask him.
 
8:16 PM
No comment.
 
@OrigamiRobot GIR was not made by a pony!

Anyone watching the steam, are all the sounds about right? Volume wise.
 
@IanPugsley I use it so it matters!
to me at least
 
@OrigamiRobot are you sure you're not confusing Wipqozn with Sterno or something? I mean they both have orange in their gravatars after all
 
Where are my 1.3 million upvotes I was promised for answering not one but two old unanswered questions yesterday?
 
8:26 PM
@authenticgeek they're in the mail
 
Maybe I have this confused and someone promised me lots of advertistments and people begging for money in exchange for those answers.
Because that's all I got in the mail today.
 
@StrixVaria Maybe it was before he became a pony?
@BenBrocka @Wipqozn has an orange center. @Sterno has an orange border. Duh.
 
Also, aside from Twilight Sparkle, Applejack is clearly the worst pony.
 
@StrixVaria You should not know this.

Q: Should vague ITG questions have an edit window?

I think personally that this is an excellent way to bring new people to the site. The problem is with their inexperience with how we do ...

Wow, 83k backers!
That's a lot of people who like adventure games
 
@authenticgeek I am a backer and I dont like kings quest style games actually :)
 
@James just for the lols?
 
They are currently getting around 100 new backers every 10min or so, and with that roughly $2000 in pledges.
 
8:36 PM
Or you like the soundtrack!
 
@OrigamiRobot And I have an Orange center and an orange border.
 
Or you just want to stick it to EA
 
@authenticgeek I like the art of story telling in any medium. This project gives me two stories, one from the game and how it will change from start to finish. The second of the development team making the game, start to finish.
@authenticgeek I can flip off EA every day when I go to lunch.. but my ex-boss works there now along with quite a few people I know :)
 
...and Double Fine tells a good story
I had no idea EA was in redwood city
 
@authenticgeek Hmm
 
8:39 PM
Not the same location you were thinking of?
 
I was going to say EA LA is in Culver.. but that is the area where culver playa marina and venice kind of... mush together.
Hell, might even be LA its in enough of the wetland area
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz And thus you are distinct.
 
Thats the EA LA I drive by on my way to lunch a few times a week.
Its those large buildings on the corner there.
 
X Prize Foundation!
Don't be too wild with your flipping off, we wouldn't want to anger the X Prizers.
 
Yeah no idea what that is :)
 
8:42 PM
If I was angry with EA, I could express my dissatisfaction relatively easily.
 
Hehe, I dont flip em off. They paid us for the work we did on Medal of Honor: Airborne.
 
The X Prize Foundation is great, actually.
 
@James I suppose they're great so long as you're not a consumer.
 
They sponsor competitions to develop new technologies in interesting areas
 
@ArdaXi and if you do not work directly for them :)
 
8:43 PM
What?
 
@ArdaXi I think that means: Download Chrome
 
@James This is in Chrome.
Latest of the latest.
 
Intel Integrated graphics, then?
