I skipped breakfast today and now I'm regretting it.
You know how most mods on other sites will eventually get tired of explaining to new users about issues and about problem posts that keep showing up time and time again and keep plaguing the site? TeX mods don't do get tired of it, apparently.
@GraceNote I recommended a friend to the TeX site once blindly. He said they were awesome there.
I never use TeX personally (although I should probably learn it).
I don't, either, but the people there are amazing.
I like the people here. =[
I like people.

A: What Defines Opponent Behaviour in 'Quick Battle'?

ZargonNo the Ai sets a difficulty and the characters you face are not other people's cumstomized characters its precreated characters made by the developers. Like the developer of Tekken has created his own character in there aswell which is useing Devel-Jin's moveset. Difficulty however is set by th...

This needs some upvotes too.
We all like people here
@GraceNote What do you think of Lulu?
Turning opponents into Anthropomorphic cupcakes is... intense.
@RavenDreamer I haven't played LoL in a while. I patched on Tuesday, though!
@Ullallulloo Oh man, this looks awesome.
@GnomeSlice I question his last graf
@RavenDreamer Oh, I saw the spotlight
user15026
@RavenDreamer Wait, what?
@AshleyNunn See the image above.
Also, that looks like a cupcake with eyes. That's not anthropomorphization.
15:06
I'd say it's the first step.
user15026
@RavenDreamer That's awesome. What game is this?
@IanPugsley Yeah, me too, actually, that was probably why I hadn't upvoted it before.
@RavenDreamer Usually arms and legs are.
@AshleyNunn League of Legends
user15026
@Ullallulloo Oh, nifty :)
user15026
15:07
@RavenDreamer Ah :)
mmm delicious mango and peach smoothie.
@GraceNote Well, for things that already have faces, perhaps.
What is League of Legends, anyway?
@RavenDreamer Naw, even just like, a woman made entirely out of pie, I'd call that shape more of an anthropomorphization than a cupcake with eyes.
user15026
@Wipqozn That does sound yummy. :)
15:08
@GnomeSlice Have you ever played DotA or Monday Night Combat?
@GraceNote A... a what?
@RavenDreamer I've played TF2, which is similar to MNC, I've heard.
@GnomeSlice A reference apparently before your time.
I don't even know what DotA is.
@GnomeSlice Well, it's a spectrum. Tf2 - MNC - DotA
so TF2 isn't at all similar
Let me go find a video
@GnomeSlice Defense of the Ancients.
15:10
@GnomeSlice Awful.
user15026
@Wipqozn I think this is the first time I have ever seen the full name of the game. XD
It's sort of a genre unto itself.
@AshleyNunn bahaha, I thought this was in reply to @GraceNote's comment just above
@RavenDreamer Can you sum up the gameplay in one or two lines?
@GnomeSlice RTS/Tower Defense/RPG hybrid.
15:11
@IanPugsley Haha!
I don't really have the time to read this. I suppose I could just watch a video.
(even though it says @Wipqozn)
@StrixVaria That actually sounds a lot like something I'd love.
@IanPugsley LOL I just realized it wasn't!
user15026
@IanPugsley snorts Well, that one would depend entirely on what flavour of pie....
@GnomeSlice An RTS game where instead of base-building / raising armies, you control a single powerful unit.
@GnomeSlice It's not a tower defense at all.
15:13
@AshleyNunn now I'm wondering if the variations of pie are different at all in Canada
FAE
FAE
Geez I afk to do some chores and we have another debate.
user15026
@IanPugsley like what?
@RavenDreamer Depends, tower defense doesn't necessarily mean it has towers anymore.
@GnomeSlice here's my referral link Check it out, if you'd like.
@RavenDreamer You defend towers, and you use the towers to help defend, so it's vaguely like a tower defense.
15:13
@IanPugsley For all we know, what they call pie is what we call cake.
You can't build towers, though.
@StrixVaria Yeah, but you don't build towers.
So the core gameplay from Tower Defenses isn't there.
@RavenDreamer Unless you're Heimer.
I mean, by that logic, anything with a tower could be called a "tower defense".
Ok fine, it's not a tower defense.
15:14
BAH. USERNAME ALREADY IN USE.
Screw that.
@AshleyNunn I'm just gonna list some pies, lemme know if one is missing or unusual (I love this game, because I love pie!)
I hate that. =[
> Your League of Legends Username is : Gn0meSlice
@RavenDreamer How big is the game file?
user15026
@IanPugsley This sounds like a fun game to me!
@GnomeSlice Hrm.
Let me check
@GnomeSlice Well, there's a lot of downloading you gotta do.
15:15
@GraceNote That's not what I want to hear. =[
@GnomeSlice 2 GBs if I recall?
Chocolate, pumpkin, lemon meringue, apple, cherry, peach, berry (strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, etc.) (sometimes ruharb added), pecan...
@Ullallulloo Oh balls.
Feb 22 at 1:32, by Grace Note
Oh, but be warned, if you two don't already have it, you need to download a downloader to get the installer before you can start setting up and then patching the game.
@Ullallulloo my game folder is just under 3GB
user15026
15:16
@IanPugsley Chocolate - chocolate cream pie?
@GnomeSlice I can't find it on my system.
@GraceNote Simple.
Custard pie (less common), key lime pie
@IanPugsley You're missing cream pies
@RavenDreamer what if it's tower offense?
15:17
@AshleyNunn yeah, same thing
user15026
@IanPugsley What is a custard pie?
@BenBrocka mind explodes
It's a pie shell with a custard as filling
Never really been a fan, myself
FAE
FAE
@GnomeSlice If you have a poor internet connection, that could be very... bad, for LoL.
Doesn't have the same top that, say, an apple pie tends to have
15:17
@GraceNote nuuu it's the besssst
user15026
@GraceNote Weird. Cold custard, or warm?
FAE
FAE
@IanPugsley I don't like pie.
@FAE Ah, it's probably not worth trying then.
I like Sweet Potato Pies
@Blem Mine's 2.25
15:18
@AshleyNunn Cold, I believe
user15026
Do you have maple syrup pie?
so are there any super-secret Canadian pies, @AshleyNunn?
@AshleyNunn That sounds like a terrifying idea
@IanPugsley Poutine Pie
I really want to try Poutine.
15:18
@FAE I am so disappointed that I am going to sue you
I had a maple pie with my family just last week actually.
But I also really don't want to go to Quebec.
FAE
FAE
@GnomeSlice The problem is that if disconnecting can put your team at a disadvantage, and if you're unable to reconnect, you'll also end up with a "leave penalty", which, if it's built up, can be bad for your account.
user15026
@GraceNote It's kinda like a pecan pie. At least, the ones I have had are.
@AshleyNunn no!
FAE
FAE
15:19
@IanPugsley I don't really like warm fruit. :(
@FAE Hah. Alright, I won't bother then.
user15026
@IanPugsley Poor you!
@AshleyNunn Pecans and maple syrup are really, really different...
@RavenDreamer I'm discounting savory pies here because they are radically different
@AshleyNunn note to self - get me some of this pie somehow
@FAE I see.
user15026
15:19
@GraceNote I meant how pecan pies are kinda gushy and wobbly and not solid?
user15026
@IanPugsley I have a recipe?
@GraceNote I think she's talking about the consistency.
@FAE That seems a very particular preference.
user15026
@GnomeSlice Yup! This.
@FAE cold pie is even better :)
15:20
@IanPugsley No no, the word is "Chilled".
To be honest, I'm not actually very big on any sort of pie at all.
@AshleyNunn does it require maple syrup drained from a secret Canada tree or anything? :P
FAE
FAE
@RavenDreamer I can manage apple sometimes, but the biggest problem is that most fruit pies have so much sugar that I find it unpalatable. I don't have a sweet tooth, and things that are too strongly sweet, I'm not very fond of.
I never really liked the crust.
@AshleyNunn Hm. Maybe I should actually try pecan pie, then.
15:20
I'm getting hungry
I used to like pie more than I do now.
My favorite pie is Strawberry Rhubarb. :d
user15026
@IanPugsley Haha, as long as you use real stuff and not table syrup, I think you would be okay
I can't even eat apple pie any more, although berry pies are still good.
FAE
FAE
I can like, stomach pie, and manage to eat it out of politeness, but I won't necessarily enjoy it.
15:21
The only fruit that should be cooked is pineapple.
And then it should be put on pizza.
user15026
Do you have sugar pie?
FAE
FAE
@StrixVaria grilled pineapple is tasty
I have a pineapple for a doorbell
@AshleyNunn Not that I know of.
@FAE This.
15:22
By the way, is anyone here interested in the Dragon Age games, Saints Row the Third, or some other THQ titles?
@GraceNote do this!
Pecan pie is my favorite of all the pies
@GnomeSlice Did you get random coupons too?
FAE
FAE
My mom's favorite is rhubarb pie.
And I love all the pies.
user15026
Sugar pie is a typical dessert of the western European countries of France and Belgium, Quebec, and Midwestern United States states such as Indiana, where it is known as sugar cream pie (other names are Hoosier sugar cream pie, Indiana cream pie, Indiana farm pie, and finger pie). Recipe Sugar pie is a single-crust pie with a filling made from flour, butter, salt, vanilla, and cream, with brown sugar or maple syrup (sometimes both) often used as additional filler. When baked, these ingredients combine into a homogeneous mixture similar to caramel. If maple syrup is used, it might be re...
15:22
@IanPugsley We've had some, I've just managed to avoid actually eating it
user15026
its related to maple syrup pie
@IanPugsley I've only had pecan pie once in my life, but it was awesome.
@IanPugsley It is really good.
I would like to try it again.
user15026
I love pecan pie :)
15:23
@RavenDreamer No, but all of those things are on sale at Gamersgate this weekend. Some of them are like, 70% off.
Well, I probably got a coupon, haven't checked.
FAE
FAE
@RavenDreamer I got a random steam one
has changed the topic of the room to: The Pie Factory
@FAE Everyone did, I think. What was yours for?
@FAE I have 5 more coupons for 50% off Heroes VI if you're interested.
user15026
Those are really the only unusual pies I can think of.
15:23
That's to anyone, actually
FAE
FAE
@GnomeSlice 66% off Might and Magic Clash of Heroes
If you want to buy Might and magic Heroes VI, I can hook you up.
Huh. @JuanManuel Got one for a hat in RIFT. I wonder what I got.
@RavenDreamer Is that game any good?
Can I view my inventory in a browser?
15:24
@StrixVaria I think it's the best in the series.
@FAE Same here.
@RavenDreamer Never played any games in that series.
It's a turn-based strategy game, right?
@GnomeSlice Steam? Yes, but I can't remember how.
@StrixVaria Ever play King's Bounty?
FAE
FAE
@Ullallulloo What like, caused this? Just a random steam giveaway?
@RavenDreamer Nope.
15:25
@FAE I guess so, everyone got them.
Hello again :)
@StrixVaria Demo availible.
FAE
FAE
@GnomeSlice Funky.
I should start doing that demo thing.
15:25
@Stephen Leave, now. And don't come back until you're a Fleet Admiral! :3
Save myself some money just buying crap all the time.
@Ullallulloo Eesh, that was fast.
@StrixVaria Metal Drift! Omegadolon!
@GnomeSlice It was in my browser history from the Christmas thing.
@RavenDreamer Even if I turd polish all the remaining less than 5's ... and beg you all to serial upvote ... it'd still be pretty darn close (26/35)
@GnomeSlice I have no interest in Omegalodon.
15:26
@Ullallulloo My inventory?
Metal Drift maybe.
@StrixVaria You don't even know anything about it. =[
@GnomeSlice Everyone's. >.>
But yeah, Metal Drift is awesome.
Also, have 50% off Assassin's Creed: Revelations coupon, if someone wants that.
15:27
@GnomeSlice I saw a gameplay video; that's enough.
Huh. I didn't get a Steam coupon.
@RavenDreamer But you can feel free to prove me wrong heh
:/
Why did I not get one?
Why am I the only person who didn't get random steam coupons? =(
@GnomeSlice I don't know why I got any.
@Tristan @GnomeSlice ;
15:28
anybody up for a 50% AC: Revelations?
@Tristan I didn't! ♪
a 25 GB Total War: Shogun 2 update! :x
probably has something to do with playtime on Steam recently
@GraceNote That's poopy. =( We should report Steam to the BBB and FTC!
Also, does anyone know if the 'secret saxton' can give you a gift if you're the only person on the server?
15:29
@Tristan Grace doesn't have a steam account.
@IanPugsley I dunno, I've had a lot.
@RavenDreamer Oh. >.<
@Tristan I reported someone to the BBB once and they paid me $250!
@Tristan I didn't either.
@Ullallulloo Ack!! That's sickening ...
15:29
@IanPugsley I have one, if you're looking for one.
♪
@StrixVaria O.o Nice.
@GraceNote I knew this message was coming.
I wrote it down, as proof.
@Tristan I bought like $2500 in furniture and then it didn't come on the delivery date they said, or the next one, or the next one. So I didn't have a bed for 3 weeks.
...not that that means much...
15:30
@Stephen Big patch for the new expansion.

Q: A new name for Gaming Stack Exchange?

David FullertonIn the past 3 months, Gaming has grown to be one of the largest sites in the Stack Exchange network. Skyrim boosted it into the big leagues in November, and now Mass Effect 3 is showing that that wasn’t a lucky, once-in-a-lifetime event but something that can be repeated. Those events were main...

@RavenDreamer Like, you actually expended graphite/ink and some paper to prove your precognition?
@RavenDreamer I was offering as well :/
I was going to vote on this but couldn't during my suspension.
And now I forget what my stance was on it.
@GraceNote Meta-ink and meta-paper.
15:31
@Ullallulloo Yeah but that's 50% of some people's monthly cap ... wow.
@StrixVaria Ouch... I've had that happen before. Not the delivery part, but the no bed for weeks part.

Q: Which weapons provide the ripe-watermelon head explosion animation?

StephenI was showing off the game to my brother the other day and I whipped out the sniper rifle and sorta hurt someone. After hyping it up a bit, it was unimpressive to say the least.

Q: Can Space Eagles be earned?

Doozer BlakeIn Angry Birds: Space, can you earn Space Eagles without purchasing them? The Game Center achievement reads like you have to purchase them.

@Tristan It sucks.
I didn't have a couch or anything either.
@Stephen I know. My internet isn't too good either.
@Lazers Lol.
15:31
If I didn't have to beat Empire and Napolean before playing, I'd be really mad.
As it stands, I can do it over a few months, I guess.
Haaa! I just saw one of my favorite comedians in a movie. =D
Hm. The 'send a message' thing for Steam doesn't work through a browser.
What's going on with that 'Game Council' thing, anyway?
@Tristan who?
@IanPugsley Bo Burnham
@GnomeSlice It's a proposed name for the site.
15:34
@Ullallulloo No, I know what it is.
balpha deleted that fun new meta question :(
I wanted to comment on it during my suspension, but I forget what my stance was on it now.
I meant, what's happening with it?
@GnomeSlice idk, it's up to us, and most people seem to be against us.
user15026
@StrixVaria ?
@GnomeSlice Nothing, yet.
15:36
I don't feel particularly strongly about the name GameCouncil.
But I think it's in our interests for someone to just pick something.
@AshleyNunn A certain person committed a certain act and got suspended for 7 days.
This seems like it could work.
@StrixVaria What meta question?
user15026
@StrixVaria Ah.
@GnomeSlice I agree. Someone said it in their answer, I think, but GameCouncil makes it sound like it's not open to everyone.
And it wasn't @GnomeSlice!
15:37
It wasn't me?
@GnomeSlice Not this time.
@GnomeSlice Someone asked why they had lost rep for serial upvoting.
How can you ask a meta question if you're suspended for 7 days?
@GnomeSlice He was suspended for asking it.
Balpha came in and explained that they were gratuitously sockpuppeting.
15:38
@GnomeSlice He got suspended after asking.
or she.
@RavenDreamer Oh. You mean the upvoter, or the upvotee asked.
I actually have no idea who it was.
Oh.
Hah.
@GnomeSlice In this case, both
15:38
I didn't see the meta poster.
Because they were the same.
WHo was the person?
Paralytic
15:40
@GnomeSlice -.-
@StrixVaria What?
user15026
@RavenDreamer Oh, people.
Why was it deleted?
@GnomeSlice Any closed question will eventually be deleted. With some exceptions. Like dups.
@GnomeSlice 3 votes from 20kers
15:40
@Wipqozn Or upvotes or answers.
I still maintain that that question didn't deserve the bashing it recieved. =[
@RavenDreamer That looks like 1 user vote, and one mod choice, to me.
@StrixVaria I can view that in 150 more rep...
Being able to see deleted content is my favorite privilege so far.
@GraceNote Eh.
15:41
@Wipqozn I can view it at less than 6K
@GnomeSlice It's your own question.
@Ullallulloo If we keep things for answers, we shouldn't keep them as closed.
@StrixVaria No. I have a Chrome plugin or a userscript or something. It tries to load deleted questions.
Doesn't always work.
@StrixVaria I'm turbs jelly :/
@GraceNote Oh, they don't?
15:42
@GnomeSlice I have that too, but it almost never works anymore.
Holy crap... Angry Birds Space is weird. o.O
@Wipqozn Worked for me.
@Tristan Is it like Gravitee?
@GnomeSlice It might be because I'm using firefox.

A: Why is this closed question not being deleted?

Grace NoteI don't know enough about security to know exactly how that question fits or does not fit. What people tells me implies it doesn't, but I'll give advice on the general topic of closed questions getting deleted. This will hopefully make the specific case here be crystal clear. With the exceptio...

@StrixVaria Yeah, mine too :)
Gravity Fleet: Indie Dev Accidentally Invents Angry Birds Space http://bit.ly/GJZ09F
@Ullallulloo No idea what that is... But... Gravity has an effect (affect?) on your bird. It actually flies around the planets.
@Ullallulloo Oh man, Gravitee is the shit!
user15026
@Tristan Good weird? Or OMG never ever play this ever kind of weird?
15:43
@Tristan They're really great physics flash games.
Gravitee and Gravitee 2.
@AshleyNunn Good it seems.
Some of my personal favourites, ever.
@AshleyNunn Good weird.
@GnomeSlice I'll check them out then.
@Tristan effect.
It's golf where you have to orbit your ball around planets.
user15026
15:43
@Tristan I might have to pick it up, then.
@GnomeSlice Thanks.
@AshleyNunn You totally should. =P
@Ullallulloo Oh man, I want to play these again now.
@GraceNote Oh, mods just go through them? I thought it was built into the system to delete closed question without upvotes on it's own.
They're awesome.
FAE
FAE
@Tristan So instead of ripping off Crush the Castle they're ripping off Gravitee now. >,>
Also Zynga bought Draw Something :[
15:45
@Ullallulloo There is that, but also mods (and normal users) are encouraged to clear out closed questions.
@FAE To be fair, crush the castle is pretty bad.
@FAE Last week.
@FAE Yes.
I haven't been playing many browser games lately.
@Ullallulloo The auto-script is mainly for abandoned questions that may not have even gotten closed to begin with.
I used to play a shitload.
15:45
@GnomeSlice Have you played Gravitee Wars?
@Ullallulloo No! Wait... Yes! I'd forgotten about that one.
That one was pretty great.
The AI was a little ridiculous at hitting you though.
FAE
FAE
Are any of you "EmmyNigma" on Xbox Live? I've apparently received a friend request from this person.
user15026
@FAE Nope
Oh, there's something I've been meaning to ask you guys.
@FAE Negative. You'd know if I sent you a friend request. lol
15:48
When I was doing those blog posts about indie games, did anyone actually read them? I'm tempted to start them again, because I know tons of good indies.
FAE
FAE
Hrm.
But I'm not sure I want to bother if nobody gives a shit.
@GnomeSlice It's the reason I played Seiklus.
@GnomeSlice I think most people did.
Follow up question: Did anyone look at any of the games that weren't free?
15:49
The fact that @Tristan is able to use actual replies makes me happy.
@GnomeSlice Ooh, he's making a multiplayer version.
user15026
@GnomeSlice Yes. I didn't buy them necesarily, but I did consider every game you posted.
@Ullallulloo :D
@OrigamiRobot Was it annoying when I wasn't? <.< I couldn't use them on the mobile site.
Gravitee wars was kind of like Worms in space.
15:50
@Tristan I know. I'm happy you aren't confined to mobile.
@OrigamiRobot So am I.
@Ullallulloo Depending on how many players per game, that might be fun for Game On!
@GnomeSlice True.
@Tristan You got Internet?
@StrixVaria For the time being. Unsecure wireless!
Though I can see it being very counter-productive to my job search...
15:52
3 mins ago, by GnomeSlice
Follow up question: Did anyone look at any of the games that weren't free?
By which I mean the ones I blogged about.
@Tristan the Internet can be an enormously useful tool in your job search
@IanPugsley This is true.
@GnomeSlice I didn't, but there's a good chance that I would, since I bought a couple other games based on your recommendations.
Well, since I don't have time to write out a fancy blog post right now, consider Tiny Barbarian my recommendation for this week. It's free.
FAE
FAE
15:56
@John Haha what
@FAE Someone noticed that SE's ToS prohibits editing other people's posts, using fake names, and posting low quality content.
@John I love how that was edited by another user.
FAE
FAE
@John This is kinda hilarious
15:57
@FAE You shoulda seen it when the theme changer was accidentally deployed to the live version of MSO... xD
The theme was changing every page or two.
This is amusing for some reason?
Sigh.
If you've ever edited, people can sue you. If you use a fake name, people can sue you. You can sue anyone you've ever downvoted.
@john Now that's funny
@GnomeSlice Because you're stereotypically a rather popular flagging target. :P
