@BenBrocka Reave is strong against armor, and gives you a damage reduction buff while it's up.
oh, that's nice
I'm fine with carnage though. For once James was useful!
Energy Drain is also amazing.
Oh wait, you're playing a Vanguard? Get Defense Drone, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.
Use Pull+Shockwave combos from range.
If you need to hit Armor harder, bring Liara and Warp+Shockwave.
There was an incident with Tali, didn't get defense drone
At least I think I only got energy drain
@BenBrocka Defense Matrix is also reality strong on Insanity
You don't want to leave it up, but casting it is a free 'OH SHIT I WANT MY SHIELDS BACK" button.
huh, yeah I've never used that one
Do I keep access to all my bonus powers from last playthrough or do I just get the one I picked at the start?
02:08
@BenBrocka It took me awhile to realize you didn't mean this james.
I'll just check at the ship
@Wipqozn I somehow thought that link would be to the team rocket member
@BenBrocka You keep them.
I'll check for defense matrix then, was that Garrus or EDI? I think I have all of theirs...
02:11
@LessPop_MoreFizz I saw that in Reader's Digest. Quite humorous.
@Tristan What barn has a white roof?! ಠ_ಠ
I'm going to get suspended for this:
I LL SHOW YOU ALL MY BALLOON
I LL SHOW YOU ALL MY BALLOON

SON OF A RAT CATCHING BITCH

:3913932 You're coming close...
Bye @GnomeSlice.
@GnomeSlice Stop it.
Hope you enjoyed your short time off suspension.
Wait, I'm still here?
@GnomeSlice You lucky little....it's because @Mana likes you.
@GnomeSlice Are you serious? I mean, really. Knock it off. It's tiresome.
02:15
I'm not going to unsuspend you this time.
@John Always blame @Mana.
@MarcoCeppi Wait, was he suspended?
@GnomeSlice Why do you do this to yourself? You knew this would happen.
@Wipqozn According to his page, yes.
@Wipqozn I don't know, I just saw like 12 flags pop up and knew where to look.
@John Oh, there was just a delay.
02:16
@Wipqozn This says yes.
@Wipqozn Apparently.
Also, rec question:

Q: Minecraft 1.2.3 SMP fair mods

neolaserI am new when it comes to minecraft mods, and I wanted to find a group of compatible mods that still keep the game fair and...minecrafty I am looking for a some SMP mods that keep in the spirit of minecraft. Mods that expand the game and add more things to do, build, hunt, achieve etc. But nothi...

So... I go AFK after pasting that in... and Gnomeslice is suspended and tweeting profanity at me.
Just another Wednesday.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Tweeting? Probably just because you're not on Steam, or he'd do it in real-time.
@John Already V'd TC. Stupid mobile chat not updating ..
@John It's true, I'm not on Steam atm.
@Tristan Yep.
02:19
@Tristan Did you like my drawing of @OrigamiRobot?
@StrixVaria LOL
What was the word?
@John Origami.
I drew GIR.
@StrixVaria I did. lol
@StrixVaria This is win.
@Tristan So you're the person who VTC-ed while I was writing my comment!
You stole my thunder!
Nooooooooo.... storage wars is not on tv
02:20
@John =D
@LessPop_MoreFizz Does that channel even have any other shows?
oh my god.
@StrixVaria Storage Wars Texas?
Every time I turn on A&E it's Storage Wars or Storage Wars: Texas as far as the TV Guide will show me.
@StrixVaria Also, Duck Dynasty is on right now, it is not as good as Storage Wars.
02:21
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh yeah I was meaning to watch this!
How could hillbillies making duck calls afford so much stuff!?
@StrixVaria They are very popular duck calls.
@StrixVaria There's money to be made in hunting gear...
That reminds me of an episode of Auction Hunters where they sold a bunch of wooden duck decoys for $10,000.
02:23
Hell, there's probably over $50,000 in hunting equipment purchased by my family alone. O.o
@Tristan The closest I've come to hunting is catch + release bass fishing.
The Duck call rednecks are making instructional cooking videos now
wat
did everyone just got random coupons on steam?
@JuanManuel I will have to log in and check.
@JuanManuel Yep.
66% off some Might and Magic game.
02:33
I need to check my Steam inventory...
@StrixVaria I got that one and 50% for AC:R
@JuanManuel I did not. :(
@JuanManuel Not me. :(
@StrixVaria I am famous!
@Tristan LoL?
02:42
@OrigamiRobot I'll play one.
Wings ordered.
t-minus one hour to chicken
Hi @Rave @Mana!
@LessPop_MoreFizz It took you an hour to order and it's going to take another hour to get them from "just downstairs"?
@OrigamiRobot huh
@Mana Just saying hi.
No ulterior motives here.
user2334
02:44
Ceci n'est-ce pas une raven
@StrixVaria I scheduled it for an hour from now
I'm not hungry yet, but I know I will be.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh ok. That actually makes more sense.
They close at 12:00l last pickup time was 11:40
Could this LoL patcher possibly spend more time sitting around twiddling its digital thumbs?
@JuanManuel Did everyone get the same one?
Yes/No?
02:48
@OrigamiRobot SOF?
I haven't checked my Steam yet.
Can somebody else ping him? I think he blocked me.
@John I already committed to LoL
@OrigamiRobot Why? ಠ_ಠ
@GnomeSlice Who, @JuanManuel?
@OrigamiRobot Without me?
@John Because @Tristan might play.
02:48
@John Yes.
@StrixVaria No, I'm patching.
@OrigamiRobot Oh. I thought he didn't have internets.
@John He said he found unsecured wireless.
@OrigamiRobot That's not illegal at all...
@John It isn't.
02:50
@John In countries with laws that make sense, the burden is on the person who owns the wireless network to secure it.
Can someone else ping him?
@GnomeSlice If he blocked you, it's probably for a reason.
If we pinged him, we would be doing him a disservice.
...did everyone get the same coupon or not.
@StrixVaria I didn't know that. Though that should mean that in the US, that's not the case. :P
@John If I watch TV with my window open, is it illegal for someone outside to watch?
02:52
@OrigamiRobot Borderline.
Only if they can see it from off your property.
@StrixVaria Yes, trespassing aside.

Q: When I see the search warning, does it mean I am host?

EBongoIn the newest release of MW3 on XBox, and presumably all platforms, I get the message "Warning: Searching for DLC is taking some time. Do you wish to continue?" Does this mean I am host? I see the message, but at least one other person in my party does not, and I'm trying to figure out why. I ...

Q: NFS HP 3 not working properly!

Divya MamgaiI have a problem with my NFS HP 3. My PC has these specs :- Pentium 4 3.0Ghz(E) 2GB DDR2 (Dual Channel i.e, 2X1GB) 160GB Seagate Baracuda (7200 RPM) Zotac Geforce GT 240 (1GB GDDR5) My temporary PC can easy handle Crysis 1 on medium settings (8XAA,16XAntisc..,&8XMSAA), Burnout Paradise (...

@LessPopMoreFizz Sorry about the Profanity.
@JuanManuel How attached are you to that "The Amputator"?
02:58
I feel bad for Paralytic. He has mission 4 complete, but he hasn't shared any links, and thus hasn't won anything.
I'm almost tempted to make some links with his ID, but effort.
Not that you're going to respond to me.
@GnomeSlice Meh, I wasn't offended that an apology is required.
Hint, I didn't flag you, I was actually AFK when it happened.
@LessPop_MoreFizz He is doing really well for 10 days.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, no, I assumed you hadn't.
I just came back and was chuckling at how inevitable it seemed.
02:59
@OrigamiRobot Hmmm.. maybe I'll go ask on
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, he joined the site mid contest and has posted a number of great answers. I don't think he realizes that he could be winning free stuff though.
Which is a shame, because he had mission 4 sans shares.
@LessPop_MoreFizz We should tell @Paralytic!
@Tristan Are you playing LoL with @OrigamiRobot and me?
@StrixVaria Yea, I don't think he is coming :(
@OrigamiRobot I have tried to tell him a few times. :/
03:01
@OrigamiRobot So SOF then?
@John I'm still playing with @Strix
@OrigamiRobot :(
Roughly how long does a game of LoL take?
@John shrug
@John 20-75 minutes
No joke.
@StrixVaria Sounds like typical RTS length.
03:02
Hi @Man @RavenDreamer!
Why the heck do I have SIX -50% off Might and Magic Heroes VI coupons?
and 2 -50% off Assassin's Creed Revelations.
@RavenDreamer It seems like a bunch of people have gotten those.
I'll take one of each if you want, though I may or may not use them.
Well I certainly won't use them, so I'll send 'm your way.
Also, looks like we might get one more General before the contest ends.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh? Who?
03:06
@John @stephen
He needs like 4 more upvotes
Getting close ...
Sure not giving up ... but trying not to put up really silly questions. Marshmallows with Spock helped a little though
@RavenDreamer TAKE MY SPIRAL KNIGHTS GARBAGE I DO NOT WANT IT.
@LessPopMoreFizz It won't let me take your red shard.
> You are not allowed to receive the item "Red Shard."
@LessPop_MoreFizz I WANT IT
03:08
The only tradable part would be your crowns, all of which I will happily take.
You can have it.
@John You can have them.
Wait, it looks like they've made basically everything tradable now. I'll take anything you're willing to part with. :D
@John INITIATE STEAM TRADING PROTOCOL
It's just some crap I accumulated while doing a holiday achievement thing.
@LessPopMoreFizz I have the trade screen up, it says you're not ready.
Steam trading screen takes forever to load for some reason.
03:11
@LessPop_MoreFizz Clearly the problem is that it's a Mac.</troll>
@John In this case probably.
Steam for mac is about as optimized as a whale is for traveling through the desert.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I find it most humorous that my Ubuntu machine is loading Steam trading faster than your Mac. :P
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ubuntu doesn't even have support.
@LessPopMoreFizz You are not allowed to receive 3 of the things being traded.
Seriously Steam.
Steam for mac works fine for the most part, but the trading UI is abysmal under OS X for some reason.
It doesn't like the Light Shards
Aww... I didn't get anything in my steam inventory. =(
03:13
@LessPopMoreFizz Thanks! :D
@John Oh, were those the problem?
@LessPop_MoreFizz I think so
That's what chat said.

Q: Do firearms do different amount of damage to shield/armor/barrier like in Mass Effect 2?

James JiaoI can't find a question that fits this description, so I assume this hasn't been asked before. If you have a look at this ME Wikia page for the Shuriken, it displays the same gun model for both ME2 and ME3. In the ME2 infobox, it shows the bonus damage it does to various types of defence, but in...

dupe btw
@LessPopMoreFizz You don't rage about the ME3 ending, right?
@RavenDreamer I don't.
There are better things to rage about. Like why is Storage Wars not on.
03:22
Or how Blamo got 5 votes in the last hour to win the weekly LoL contest. tips hat
I'd actually prefer to rage about my sore throat.
I don't think it's allergies
which means I'm actually sick. Which sucks.
time to go pick up mah chicken wings.
Good night all ... have a good one!
@LessPopMoreFizz I found a "raskolnikov-" on reddit. That you?
03:40
@RavenDreamer I thought @LessPopMoreFizz didn't Reddit...
@John Me too, but I found the name of his TOR character, so I figured I'd ask.
@RavenDreamer Oh that's his TOR character? That makes the inquiry reasonable.
You have my approval.
03:54
god, the images in my poster (powerpoint slide) are so large it takes seconds to redraw when I scroll
and I don't trust PP in a million years to resample them
04:07
@RonanForman Ahha! I figured it out! It works now!
Anyone have any experience with Fraps?
@Tristan Not beyond the demo, and not more than 2 minutes worth.
@John Darn... I know it records in-game audio, but would it record me talking? Say, if I was doing an LP? Or would I need something else for that? Do you know?
@Tristan 'fraid not, sorry.
I didn't do anything with sound.
@John k. Thanks.

Q: Uncuff someone in Street Fighter II : World Warrior after performing Guile's handcuffs

ProximateTenDoes anyone know if you can uncuff someone after performing Guile's handcuffs in Street Fighter II : World Warrior? And if so.. how?

04:18
@Tristan You can configure it.
By default, it will only record your OS's sound
You can either set up to constantly record from a microphone, or as a sort of push to talk.
@RavenDreamer Oh awesome. Thanks. =D
'nother question... Is there any way to keep Steam from pausing downloads when I try to play a game?
Yeah
alt-tab and restart their downloading manually
That the only way?
Far as I know
k Thanks. They should really change that... lol
04:21
@Tristan Did you play LoL with @OrigamiRobot and @StrixVaria?
@John He did.
@OrigamiRobot Underlying question is "Is @OrigamiRobot done playing LoL?"
Usually I wouldn't be so desparate, but every game I've tried to launch tonight has crashed.
Requiring a reboot.
I'm blaming Steam.
@John What is it you're wanting to play so badly?
@Tristan We have one piece of wool left in our SOF game.
SOF?
04:23
@John I need to go to bed T_T
@OrigamiRobot ಠ_ಠ
@Tristan Sea of Flame. A Minecraft map by Vechs.
@John I'm sorry I chose @Tristan over you. I missed him. :P
@OrigamiRobot That's understandable I guess... we've only been playing nearly every day for the past 3 weeks. :P
04:35
This seems to me kinda like a "Why did the devs do it this way?"

Q: getting disconnected in the middle of a mission

GigiliWhen it jumped out of the game while fighting in the middle of a mission, why doesn't it continue when I start again? And do I lose everything I earned when this happens?

Halfway. There's a second, legit, question in there, too.
@RavenDreamer I am not the only person on earth that has read Dostoevsky. No, that is not my Reddit account.
I do have a Reddit account, which posts almost exclusively in /r/nyc and related subs, and which I primarily use to call out moronic redactors on their thinly veiled "DON'T MOVE TO HARLAM I HEARD THERE ARE BLACK PEOPLE IN HARLAM AND THEY WILL MURDER YOU AND TAKE YOUR WALLET" nonsense.

Q: Where is crab cove?

EBongoIn the game Mino Monsters for iOS, one of the goals on The Windward Beach is to find Crab Cove. I've searched everywhere, and I can't find it.

Q: Would you like Gaming.SE merch with "classic" questions on them?

Brett WhiteOne thing the Gaming.SE has that other SE's don't seem to is an abundance of eye-catching, peculiar questions that, when taken out of context, are hilarious. These questions get a ton of views and get quickly linked and shared among communities (at least among the six members of CHAOS here at SE)...

@LessPop_MoreFizz I dreamt about this conversation. Or at least you saying that "Great out of Context blahblah"
@NickT Yeah! That!
@NickT Oh. Thank you, sir.
On Tuesday, I will have my first gold badge.

can anything be done against "revenge down voting"?
@Blem It will usually be reverted automatically after around 24h
I down voted an answer in the weapon weighing less question and was thinking of how to word my concern about the answer and the other answer on the question got a down vote, so i guess the guy got pissed that he got a down vote
08:44
@Blem A single downvote isn't really important in the long run, and serial downvoting is usually dealt with pretty effectively.
@Fabian yea, but it is not a constructive way for the site
08:55
seems like the questions are slowing down lately
@blem im not pissed i got downvoted, was just surprised thought people would like a wide amount of knowledge on what he was asking
people have work/school
I have dyslexia, I find a simple answer to a simple question better. If the question had been what kind of weapon mods can I get, the answer would have been a great

@Lazers Welp.
Next, we expose @Sterno's army of up voting sock puppets.
11:25
@Blem Thank you so much, you've saved my bacon
@OrigamiRobot I'm always suprised at the high number of sock puppeteers that complain about some reputation stuff on meta and thereby expose their sock puppets because someone takes a closer look at their account.
@Fabian Flipside: If you're dumb enough to sock puppet up your reputation, you're dumb enough to complain when you get caught.
@Fabian I hope the temporary 87 rep was worth it.
Spoiler Alert: I'm sure it wasn't.
@OrigamiRobot It almost certainly was more than 87
@LessPop_MoreFizz I've seen one that was reasonably clever about the whole thing, but we got him in the end anyway.
@Fabian Yea, I'm just going of the SS.

@fredley We'll probably have one General.
@Stephen will probably make it today.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Fair enough
@fredley He needs 3 up votes.

@fredley NO!
Serial Upvoting Bad!

I'm aware of SU! You can Calm! Down! Now!!!

@fredley It's not a great place to start when both the Q and A are at +5. :P
That said, I really wish I had known that when I was actively playing the campaign. Holy shit.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ah, looks like someone else got there first...
I don't even want to be general. I'm all over getting me a new keyboard.
In fact, I'm about to spam my friends my 10 links now.
@LessPop_MoreFizz A was 4, i upvoted
Think it just need to update now
@Stephen Grats on General

Congrats General @Stephen

At least, until you get hit with a Serial Upvote Reversal.
@LessPop_MoreFizz A community-elected General!
(And no, that's not an accusation towards anyone here, just a remark on the fact that it's been stupidly common during this contest.)
