Yeah, I see it's all +4s, too

@Sterno I didn't want to address it personally on his questions, in case that would affect people's perceptions/voting, so I thought it'd be better to maybe just let you know, see if you can sort of politely discourage that sort of thing. :/
@FAE , at least once, specifically because of things like what you just mentioned.
I wonder why we still get new users here asking for identify this game. Is there some google cached search that still points to us as a good source of game identification?
for example
@FAE On the plus side, I don't think it will happen once the contest is over, since I'm sure its impending end is the motivation. But I'll bring it up. Awkwardly :P

Q: Old Nintendo NES Game

Waltzfor other nintendo games lover, please help me out, I am looking for the title for the game that have 3 playable characters, which are a black cowboy with a long-range gun; a woman in a white shirt with black pants and a close-range sword with superior attack power; a guy with green clothes and b...

@TimStone Ah, gotcha.
@Resorath People still ask game-rec questions occasionally.
All we can do is close them quickly.

@Sterno Yeeeeah. Sorry, but I thought you may wanna know about it.
@Resorath Apparently we have a reputation to beat.

@Sterno let him know the moderators have been raising an eyebrow :) it's not something we particularly like - image if all ME3 posters would have done that now, leading to massive front-page spam
Trust me, I totally understand. But in the future, I'd rather not be the middleman :)
20:05
Wow he only bumped his +4 questions. This contest is bringing out some bad behaviour. I love it all the same though.
The Middleman is an American television series. The series, which was developed for television by Javier Grillo-Marxuach for ABC Family, is based on the Viper Comics series, The Middleman, created by Grillo-Marxuach and Les McClaine. The series ran for one season in 2008. Originally confirmed for an initial 13 episodes, the order was reduced to a 12-episode season due to low ratings. In February 2009, a comic book based on the unproduced 13th episode was announced, confirming the series' cancellation. Billed as a "series finale", The Middleman – The Doomsday Armageddon Apocalypse was rele...

@OrigamiRobot that was so awesome
@Oak I know!

@Sterno I didn't know if you would have preferred to speak with him directly about it or not. If you prefer, I'll just leave a comment on his most recently bumped question.
20:05
Does anyone want to play this?
FAE
FAE
If that'll make it less dodgy for you.
I just said something
@RonanForman It actually looked kind of boring, if you watch the video of the full game.
FAE
FAE
Or actually, maybe @Oak should do that, since he's a mod and such.
@StrixVaria I don't think so.
Oak

20:06
@Sterno yea I can do that if you prefer
@oak Already done. I just meant if there's ever some future scenario

@Sterno point taken
@RonanForman Don't let me keep you from trying it, then.
@RonanForman Can you describe it so i don't have to watch it?
@GnomeSlice Mobs fall down, you lure them into pits, get 4 and you earn a powerup, either armour/weapons/potions or an increased difficulty to the opponent. Last one to die wins.

Q: Using a spell in my main hand and dagger in my left hand

MuhaimmeduI was wondering if it was necessary to wield spells in my offhand and daggers in my main hand to be an effective nightblade. I'm currently using spells with my right hand and daggers with my left hand. Problem is, the left hand attack animation is slow, and swings in one direction.

I don't understand this.
@RavenDreamer Yeah, looks like it updated, here's the new one: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/477450
user15026
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I don't either. But I dont play Skyrim.

Q: Is there a canonical explanation for the ending of Mass Effect 3?

StephenThe question can't really be phrased without spoilers but I think most people are getting this far by now. Is there a canonical source (comic, dlc, book, game) that would explain if this interpretation is correct?

Q: Buzz Aldrin voice cameo

ShurikenIn the after credits scene, the voice of the stargazer sounds very familiar to me. I think it's a cameo and the voice used in the clip is Buzz Aldrin's voice. ...

Q: Are there any situations where Jeff and EDI's relationship doesn't flower?

agent86Over the course of the game, I repeatedly encouraged both Jeff and EDI to pursue a relationship. However, at many junctures, I had options that seemed to discourage the two of them from getting together. I could either try to make Jeff be more cautious (and avoid injury) or stomp out EDI's blos...

Q: Buzz Aldrin voice cameo

ShurikenIn the after credits scene, the voice of the stargazer sounds very familiar to me. I think it's a cameo and the voice used in the clip is Buzz Aldrin's voice. ...

-5? Why!?
@GnomeSlice Because it's a stupid question.
Because it's an awful question
Again... why?
First off, there's no way he just happened to recognize that as Buzz Aldrin's voice
It's actually probably not constructive.
And could be closed.
20:12
So is that stupid thing about slowing down what GlaDOS said in Portal 2.
So he basically already knew the answer
And yet it's like +20 or something.
@Sterno Why not?
@GnomeSlice How do you have such a demented view of what makes a good question?
yeah, I'm not really going to argue about this one
@StrixVaria I just don't automatically categorize every question I don't think is great as awful.
user15026
20:13
@Sterno Agreed. It seems pretty fishy that he recognized Buzz Aldrin.
Wikipedia says the male Shepard is voiced by Mark Meer. can anyone confirm this?
@GnomeSlice Neither do I. There are certainly average questions. This isn't one of them. This one is awful.
Again... why?
@Sterno ...
@GnomeSlice Because 8 seconds of googling would have been quicker than asking the question
How is it a gaming problem?
20:14
@StrixVaria ...How is it not a gaming problem?
How is it a problem in any sense of the word problem?
@GnomeSlice facepalm
It would be cool to know if you were right about Buzz Aldrin making a cameo in ME3.
@GnomeSlice "cool to know" != gaming problem

@StrixVaria Again........ why not?
You're just being argumentative for the sake of stirring up drama, now.
FAE
FAE
This question does not indicate research or effort.
@StrixVaria No I'm not!
user15026
@FAE I wish more people would remember this.
I think it's a cool question!
20:15
@GnomeSlice Says the boy who cried wolf.
So, any chance a mod (or @agent86) want to cover why my most recent dupe flag got denied with the following message "declined - flags should only be used to make moderators aware of content that requires their intervention"?
@StrixVaria Explain?
@GnomeSlice 95% of the things you post on this site are specifically trying to incite a reaction.
So when you claim that's not your motive, I have every right to be skeptical.
@StrixVaria No, they're not.
@Ktash Used to happen to me too. Depends on which mods sees it I think
20:16
@GnomeSlice I'm not arguing this with you; you can claim all you want that that's not the case, but we all know you're lying.
@StrixVaria :(
I'm not...
user15026
@Sterno I think sometimes they might assume you can VTC as dupe when you can't. Like if you don't have the rep or whatever.
@GnomeSlice Then why don't you start working to change your reputation?
@GnomeSlice It boils down to this. We don't like it. We downvote. If you think it's great, upvote it. The community will decide.
@StrixVaria I'm trying.
20:17
Okay okay okay. I keep missing all the pretty girl conversations. @Tristan @OrigamiRobot I am dissapoint
user15026
@spugsley Hm... tries to think of a pretty girl to talk about so you don't have to be disappointed anymore XD
@AshleyNunn Yeah, I'm thinking that might be the case here, since I can't VTC until 3k
@AshleyNunn Yeah, that's my guess too. Though as I understand it, it's impossible to flag with a close reason if you can actually VTC
@Sterno I agree, but do I really deserve to be shouted at for mentioning it in chat, and why I think it's okay?
user15026
@Ktash Yeah, that's probably more than likely. Least, it's the best thing I can think of.
20:18
@GnomeSlice Take it as a sign of how strongly we feel that it's a bad question. :)
user15026
@Sterno Yeah, but you could theoretically put the valid reason in the custom reason box....I dunno. Just a thought :)
Well, since it got declined, people should vote to close this question :P
Dupe of one of my questions (in the comments)
So why haven't you downvoted the answer too?
FAE

@GnomeSlice The answer isn't wrong
Though kudos to @Stephen for the pics on the answer :)

Q: Which was the first game with bullet-time?

lalliThe first game I played, which had bullet-time, was Max Payne. Was there any game before that to have a similar feature?

Is that a good question or a bad question?
@FAE We've had this argument before.
People downvote my answers on bad questions. Because it's 'enabling the poster to post more bad content'.
I'm leaning towards bad question.
It's not a problem.

The question is poor, yes, but the answer is correct.

Q: Buzz Aldrin voice cameo

ShurikenIn the after credits scene, the voice of the stargazer sounds very familiar to me. I think it's a cameo and the voice used in the clip is Buzz Aldrin's voice. ...

@TimStone It's uh... image + logo from a certain game review video series?
20:20
@GnomeSlice It's a cool bit of trivia, but it's certainly general reference. For what it's worth, I also don't think the answer should be up voted.
I downvoted that because it was "general reference". just google "mass effect 3 buzz aldrin"
@AnnaLear OHHHHH. Gah!
That reference went so far over my head, totally my bad.
@Ktash Freehand circles to the rescue
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I like this version better. :)
user15026
@TimStone Oh, I hate when that happens XD I have had that happen a few times when people drew stuff. :P
20:22
@TimStone It's cool. I wasn't sure if it was gonna come across well. :)
What in the crap is this question:

Q: Are "Let's Play" videos managed or promoted by a collective entity?

BillareWhy are so many gaming videos' titles on Youtube prefaced by a "Let's Play"? Is some official company or entity sponsoring each video, that these users are working for? Is each video submitted to a weekly contest or something like that? Or is just a collective meme for gamers on Youtube?

@RavenDreamer I like the bells. They actually turned out sounding kind of like a Marimba.
@gnomeslice Looking at the question another way, how ridiculous would the question seem if the answer was "No"
@Resorath I hate both trivia and credits questions.
@Sterno Not very?
20:23
@GnomeSlice Okay, BRB, I have about 400 questions to write while I ask the same thing about every male actor
@StrixVaria I don't think that question even deserves the tag. It's not trivia. It's a terminology question.
@RonanForman I guessed it at lunch :)
@sterno can I answer 7 of them??? :-)
He's clearly doing it just to annoy you.
@OrigamiRobot Whats a trivial question? is this an example: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/20601/…
20:24
@GnomeSlice I can't argue with that. :P
@GnomeSlice I downvoted a very similar question here: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/55013/…
yesterday, by OrigamiRobot
Man, @GnomeSlice doesn't waste any time working on his next suspension!
user15026
Is he ever going to learn?
@AnnaLear Well, the image was quite nicely done now that my brain clicked in. :D
@AshleyNunn No.
@AshleyNunn Heheh, at least I'm not the only one. :P
20:25
@RavenDreamer I was wondering what to re-tag it to.
That's a good alternative.
user15026
@Wipqozn sigh I keep wishing that wasn't the answer.
@James I haven't got a new turn.
@StrixVaria Yeah, the question is about the term "Let's Play". No idea why that makes it trivia.
@GnomeSlice For what it's worth, I didn't flag that, and I wish whoever flagged it hadn't
@RonanForman Your choices sucked I think. Ill check and see if I have new ones :)
20:26
I'm not going to just start deleting that tag yet, though.
I'll wait for a few people to see my meta question.
Which is updated to sate Oak's silly downvote.
@James What was it anyway?
He downvoted because I didn't spell out what he knew -.-
@RonanForman The one you did for me? It was Hot Sauce
@James Oh yeah, I that was the least worst one

@Tristan I sent a Draw Something game request to you earlier, ignore that one, I changed my mind and decided I didn't wanna link my FB account to it.

@RonanForman Yeah once I saw it I was like well Duh! hehehe... Game should be headed your way

SO MANY GAMES. It is SO AWESOME. Kills time on the bus rides :)
user15026
@FAE rules for? Drawsomething?
Oak
Oak
@StrixVaria thank you for indulging me :) I don't think it's silly - when someone later complains their question was edited, I want to be able to point them to a relevant meta post with at least some reasoning in it. And when people look at what sort of stuff we post on meta, I want them to see discussions on a higher level than "it's stupid".
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn Yeah. Like are you allowed to draw an ear for sounds like? Can you draw arrows to point at one particular thing?
@Oak Yeah, I was a bit hasty at first. Thanks for actually making me write that out.
20:31
@FAE You can just... write the word on the screen if that's what you wanna do. Ruins the fun, but yeah...
user15026
@FAE There are no real rules - I had a girl just write what the word was once XD
FAE
FAE
@Tristan Well that's just no fun :P
@FAE I just draw whatever, arrows, meme references, etc.
@Oak But dude, that tag is just so stupid! :P

Once I finish my essay, I will play ALL the DrawSomething games with ALL THE PEOPLE. :D
My phone's battery started to last longer once I turned on WiFi while playing DrawSomething.
And it also didn't get lava-hot either.
@FAE What's your PSN name?
@TimStone Thank you for getting Werewolf! Everyone watching me draw it was saying No way!

Q: I'm going to kill the trivia tag. Any objections?

StrixVariaThe trivia tag is stupid. It adds no value to the questions it is on. It is a meta tag, describing the question moreso than the information in the question, which is frowned upon.

@AshleyNunn I can draw well with like, pencil and paper, but I'm not so great with my fingers on a touchscreen, haha.
user15026
@RavenDreamer hugs sends you drawings by carrier pidgeon
@AshleyNunn The Flying-type Eevee evolution?
20:38
@RavenDreamer I wish that existed.
user15026
@FAE See, I can't draw really anything that isn't a stick person (but I am really, really good at those) XD So I am extra bad with the phone.
They need more eeveelutions.
user15026
@RavenDreamer ......yes. That is totally what I was going for. >.>
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn It hurts more because I'm a perfectionist! Oh god I'm never going to finish a drawing!
I can't believe they went with Leafeon.
Arboreon is where it's at!
user15026
20:39
@FAE You can break free of this! YOU CAN DOOOO IT
@RonanForman I almost thought you were drawing Wall-E! :)
I was getting worried I didn't know all the pokemon there for a second so I checked this site to make sure there really isn't a Flying Eeveelution.
There can't be a flying eevee, as flying always has to go with another type.
@RonanForman So annoying.
We need a pure flying type :'(
If they made a Flying/Normal Eeveelution I would rage so hard.
@StrixVaria I'm sorry for all of these 1 coin words, but... I've gotten CRAP lately. Like... Eminem, and RZA...
And Shakira.
20:41
@Tristan No problem. I always go for the hardest word I think I can manage to draw, but those are awful. I don't blame you.
@GnomeSlice So why did that year-old question so desperately need a meta-tag?
@FAE This hurts you!
FAE

@RavenDreamer It does!
@ArdaXi Is that the one I immediately rolled back?
Or did he do it to another one?

@GnomeSlice Are you being deliberately contrary?
user15026
@James Modernist ekphrastic british poetry
@GraceNote I never did pay attention to the Legendaries.
I never bother to hunt for them.
I never use them.
I just don't like them.
20:45
@AshleyNunn Yeahhhhh Ill pass proof reading it if ya don't mind :)
The only time I ever used one was when Blitzle was awful and I happened to catch a Zekrom.

@James aw, I am so disappointed now. cries
@AshleyNunn I sense sarcasm :)
I got permission from my professor to recreate Bit.Trip Beat as my final class project! Woo!

@StrixVaria No problem. :)

@RonanForman That sounds ominous
@StrixVaria There's no slim pickings for Electric types, why you stuck with Blitzle?
@AnnaLear What is this I don't even...
@AnnaLear Disregard that...
oh wow this "last challenge" thing was seriously disappointing
@Tristan Yeah it was ... yeah.

Then he never did.

@badp I realized I had deleted the local content. Have to re-download :(
Mmm, rollback wars
@Sterno Coming soon to TLC, A&E, and Discovery.
Can we have the mods sit down with @GnomeSlice and have an intervention?
Get him on the same page as everyone else.
@RonanForman Stop being better at this game than me!
20:52
@StrixVaria ah... the sweet smell of community deletion :)
FAE

it is like impossible to draw a straight line in this game

@FAE It is pretty difficult.
@StrixVaria Didn't various users in this very room talk repeatedly to Gnomeslice already?
FAE
FAE
@Tristan sent, I'm so ashamed of this drawing quality, haha
@AnnaLear Possibly, but he seems incapable of learning from his mistakes.
He keeps doing the same things over and over no matter how many times we explain.
20:55
Man, I may have a case of the stupid today, I can't get this drawing.
@StrixVaria Indeed. Just doesn't seem like more talking is the answer from where I'm sitting.
@AnnaLear Repeatedly
Even the 7-day suspension seems not to have had any effect.
user15026
@StrixVaria This. And it is getting incredibly frustrating.

Oh god it actually like saves the linestrokes you made? D:

this is so embarassing :x
We could ban him from chat for like 2 years and hope that he matures in that time.

I know I changed a lot from 2 years ago.
@RonanForman Got it :) And I actually looked for the word 3 times thinking it was that before I finally saw the Z hiding in the bottom right :)
Thanks for flagging me, by the way.

@GnomeSlice Dude, man, c'mon.
@GnomeSlice This is what we're talking about!
Constantly.
20:57
@Resorath not much yet
I am so unspeakably outraged.
@GnomeSlice I didn't flag you for the last suspension.
@StrixVaria Bullshit.
I said 'asshole'. That gets used frequently in here.
Dude, seriously, stop.
@GnomeSlice This is not difficult: stop posting nudity, stop your self-admitted trolling, stop swearing at every little thing.
20:58
And now you're deleting my questions.
you want the simple past, which is shat
Calm down. You're going to get suspended.
@GnomeSlice So you probably do need the timeout
yesterday, by GnomeSlice
I've been working on my entrance line for days.
In the terms of the question we were initially arguing about:
20:59
@GnomeSlice You called someone an asshole.
Above all, stop swearing at other users.

MAYBE, he asked it because we're supposed to be an AUTHORITATIVE REFERENCE, so he wanted to make SURE he was right? Did that ever occur to you?
