@GnomeSlice It was posted as a comment to your question.
 
I guess I just never saw the ping. =[
 
@OrigamiRobot I assume you want to burn it with fire?
 
@Wipqozn It follows the description of "not constructive" pretty well...
 
Yoo =)
Quick question (I looked in meta and FAQ and could not find) Why upvote can be 10 pts and also 5 pts ? o.O
 
@MichelAyres upvote on questions are 5 and upvotes on answers are 10

@BenBrocka FYI, I am mad at you.

Q: Who's the little boy in Mass Effect 3?

Ben BrockaThere's a little boy at the start of the game, hiding in a vent. He magically disappears soon after, then you see him about to be killed by a Reaper's laser. Later still you see him in some nightmares. Who is this kid? Is he part of Shepard's imagination? A product of stress and or psychological...

 
@MichelAyres Answers are 10, questions are 5.
 
all of the answers to this question are moronic.
I blame you.
It is your fault.
 
@OrigamiRobot @TylerShads AHHHHHH now it make sense =X
 
@MichelAyres Questions are 5, answers 10
 
@Wipqozn Thanks =)
@Wipqozn I guess I am getting better at expressing myself gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/60826/…

Q: Geth Plasma Shotgun charged damage?

JustinTThe Geth Plasma Shotgun consumes 2 ammunition each charged shot. How much more damage does it deal compared to a normal shot?

 
<3 Tasha Baxter.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I did'nt know it would happen :(
 
I just had like a twelve win streak in toribash.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz calling all the users on that question dumb?
 
7:23 PM
@BenBrocka In fact, I am going to VTC as NARQ, since it's purely speculative.
@tiddy Yes.
 
You don't agree with their answers
 
@tiddy No, I think their answers are mostly pointless speculation with no factual basis, and I think the 'indoctrination theory' is incredibly dumb in toto.
 
agreed, the indoctrination theory is born of "please let the ending be a dream" wishing
 
I think it has its merits
Also I question the constructiveness of a mod coming in, calling all current answers and their users dumb based on disagreement, and then not offering an additional answer
 
@tiddy 1) I'm not a mod.
 
7:30 PM
The problem with the indoctrination theory is that all of the support for the indoctrination theory comes from things that don't make sense.
 
2) I'm not offering an additional answer because I've voted to close the question. I don't think it can be constructively answered.
 
The less the ending makes sense, no matter how it doesn't make sense, the more it's proponents believe it is validated
 
3) I'm not calling them dumb based on disagreement, I'm calling them dumb because their answers are poorly written, not comprehensive, and fail to cite any convincing evidence. There are answers that I disagree with that are comprehensive, well written, and backed up by facts, which I will happily not call dumb.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz I hate this question more:

Q: Do I need to have played Mass Effect 1 or 2 to understand Mass Effect 3's storyline?

ahsteeleI have never played Mass Effect 1 or 2. Do I need to play the first and second installments to understand the third? Are there enough story recaps to fill in some of the back story? Will I be lost?

 
let me guess, the skyrim 'who is lying' question?
 
7:32 PM
The "will I be lost if I didn't play the first two games" question.
 
@Sterno Yeah, we get that with every new release in a series. :/
 
It's nearly impossible to quantify whether or not someone "will be lost".
and it just invites a ton of similar answers
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz oh that was a good one
By good I mean terrible
 
My mom gets lost watching CSI
 
Gentlemaenner.
 
7:36 PM
@Sterno Create a GUI for her in visual basic
 
I need to track some IP's can anyone help me with that?
 
@BenBrocka Good idea. I do enjoy tracking the serial killer's IP.
 
@Sterno I get lost watching CSI.
 
(I've never actually watched CSI, other than youtube clips)
 
Where by 'I', I mean 'the remote', and by watching, I mean 'and I get stuck watching'
 
7:38 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Enhance
 
@BenBrocka ZOOM
 
"Plus your iPod into the wall to finish resetting it"
and all I have is a USB cable
I hate you, Apple
 
Enhance on the couch cousins, the remote's in the reflection of a screw on the couch!
 
does Powerlord still hang out here?
 
@Loktar No.
 
7:40 PM
wow crazy
 
No. He decided he hated @agent86 forever and rage quit.
 
:?
 
I wanted to brag about my sweet strange huntsman
 
@Sterno It didn't come with the wall adapter?
Also, look at that height.
 
7:41 PM
@GnomeSlice It has one. It's just at home.
 
@GnomeSlice I take it that you didn't win?
 
A recording of our first Game On! Ultra-Hardcore Minecraft videos are posted, if anyone's interested. Mod development underway on The Engineering Bay chat room. ;-)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UzTNJdFIxE
 
@Ullallulloo I did, actually.
I went on to win like ten in a row.
 
@GnomeSlice Wow. I thought it might be hard to recover with him almost hitting the ground with his head, but you lost your arm. :P
 
@Ullallulloo Yeah, but touching the ground with anything other than hand or foot. is a disqualification. He hit before my arm did.
@Ullallulloo You should play with me!
 
7:50 PM
@GnomeSlice But I've only beaten Uke once...
 
@Ullallulloo Uke is better than many of the players in multiplayer.
I still can't beat him, hah.
 
@Loktar There still be other TF2ers in here, to some degree
 
cool :) Id hope so, thats a game that every pc gamer should own
 
@Loktar Every PC gamer with internet.
 
@Loktar Well, too bad!
 
7:52 PM
@GnomeSlice k, sure
 
(Grace dislikes steam for reasons I've forgotten)
 
@Ullallulloo I think you can do a search for me somehow
 
Im still a pretty active tf2 player
 
Talkin' to Loktar re: TF2.
 
This year’s Fanfest focused on Dust 514, and the game proved to be wildly ambitious. Dust will link PC and PS3 players and mix the first-person shooter mechanics of console games with the complexity and intrigue of EVE Online.
 
7:54 PM
what people dislike steam ?
 
Prediction: PC players shall dominate the PS3 players
 
TF2
 
@Sterno it only links via EVE Online unfortunatly
they havent announced Dust 514 for the pc
 
@Loktar It's still DRM. =/
 
@Loktar I do.
 
7:55 PM
@Ullallulloo to an extent yes, but you can play in offline mode
my only gripe is them having the ability to disable my act at whim, for billing errors, or anything minor
I have... a few games
 
@Loktar You have every game I think I've ever looked at on Steam.
 
haha
 
@Loktar Yeah, but up until last year I only had dial-up, I had to use a router, and my brothers and I wanted to all be able to play games that we bought instead of buying them three times.
 
@Ullallulloo You playing?
 
ahhhh
 
7:57 PM
Although sales partially make up for that last one.
And cracks.
@GnomeSlice I don't know how to find you.
 
@Ullallulloo yeah, I see your issue there.. but technically thats piracy
I mean even in 98 when my friend and I wanted to play Half Life online (team fortress mostly).. we still each needed to own it
 
@Ullallulloo /search gnomeslice?
@Ullallulloo Or look around the intermediate (green) servers for my name.
 
@Loktar Yeah, but you buy Deus Ex: HR retail and you'd still have to buy three copies.
 
@Ullallulloo Tell me about it, I bought dinner for myself, but my girlfriend and her friend wanted dinner too. So I just stole a few meals so we could eat together
 
in order for 3 sep people to play it yeah
@tiddy lol
 
7:59 PM
;)
 
@GnomeSlice Where do I type that?
 
@Ullallulloo Rah, I disconnected.
 
@tiddy More like you bought a movie on DVD, but only you could watch it.
 
In a game.
Just type it.
@Ullallulloo I disconnected anyway, pick a server and give me the number.
 
yeah thats the main difference with steam, you dont buy the game, you buy a license to play it
 
8:00 PM
Do Judo, if you don't mind.
 
which is weird to get used to
 
@Ullallulloo How about Judo2?
I know one of the guys currently playing there.
Except I can't connect to it...
 
@GnomeSlice sure
 
@Ullallulloo My point is you can't play that DVD on 3 players at once
 
@GnomeSlice White to Yellow why?
 
8:02 PM
I think Steam (well Valve) has been one of the saviors of PC Gaming
not that it ever was going to die, but it made big companies aware that theres a huge market of PC Gamers
 
@Ullallulloo It's a yellow belt server.
 
Valve is a very smart company
 
They are not the saviors of my wallet, though.
 
@tiddy But three people can't play on the same computer usually.
 
@Ullallulloo I see your name, but every time I try to connect, I get 'not connected'.
 
8:03 PM
@Sterno haha
 
SALE TIME
 
yeah.. those sales are so hard to ignore
 
@GnomeSlice Is green above that though?
 
I got a PS3 in Dec, and looking at PSN's sales im like wtf are these?
25% off.. psh
 
@Ullallulloo Oh, my belt is too high.
Yeah, green is intermediate. That's why I can't connect, I'm orange.
@Ullallulloo Try creating a server?
 
8:04 PM
Summer one should hit sometime in july
 
@GnomeSlice Judo3 then?
 
yeah, hopefully they arent doing tickets again
or coal rather, the tickets werent bad, the coal was meh
 
Hoping to get skyrim then @ <~30
 
@GnomeSlice sure.

Q: batman arkham city thug interrogation

citlec1In Batman Arkham City you had to interrogate a thug and he would give you the riddler trophy locations but im playing in hard mode and i cant find any thugs to interrogate so how do you find all the trophies?

 
8:05 PM
@Ullallulloo Judo4 has fewer people.
 
I used to get all the achievments during those sales
 
Fewer people means you get to play more.
Try creating one.
 
I stopped this last winter though.. the SMB one was just ridiculous
 
@GnomeSlice k
@GnomeSlice I don't know what settings though...
 
@Ullallulloo Judo 4 then.
 
8:07 PM
@Chat y u no like me ლ(゚д゚ლ)
 
@Ullallulloo To chat, hit Enter.
 
Lok you end up with that TF2 Squid Hat?
 
@Ullallulloo Ready? :D
@Ullallulloo =[
 
8:23 PM
Is it really quiet in here or did chat boot me again?
 
@James quiet
 
Yeah, this is really odd... Maybe chat just booted everyone else and they dont know it yet, also thinking its just quiet :)
 
@James I'm busy watching idiots failing.

Q: League of Legends Contest - Round 3 (Final Round)

LaurenEdit: This contest officially ended last night. Winners are as follows: The most viewed question, What do I do against the infamous “gank squad”?, was asked by Resorath. The most viewed question from the ggClassic, What is the most important lane to carry a lane? (Mid, Bot AD, jungle, or Top), ...

<3
 
maybe everyone's just remembered they gave up gaming for lent
and they're trying to appear devout.
 
8:29 PM
@RonanForman Did @DanRasmussen record me falling to my death over and over again o his map last night!?
@TZHX I can not think of any comment that this thought, if true, actually deserves that would not get me flagged and banned :D
 
@James :)
 
@James No. I'm watching the apprentice.
 
@OrigamiRobot Are you planning to make a post on this to revive the discussion?
 
@Wipqozn What's wrong with the existing ones? I agree with Mark Trapp

Q: Checking your unit stats in age of empires 3.

amal antonyHow do I check the stats for my own units (hitpoints, attack etc)? For the other teams just clicking on their unit gives the stats. For my units I can see only the commands. How can I see their stats?

Q: How much does WoW, SWTOR cost annually?

IceFishLet's say you are hard-core gamer and play WoW till max level and level-up several characters. Then, you play SWTOR until max level and level-up several characters. How much does it cost for WarCraft (e.g., WoW subscription, in-game items, any stuff in-game you want to buy with real money) on ...

Q: Does anyone know of a good Drawception forum?

bfrederiI'm looking for a place to discuss Drawception games, and share favorite games with people. Does anyone know of a good drawception forum?

 
8:36 PM
@OrigamiRobot Well, you said we needed to revisit the discussion, but then didn't take it any further.
 
@RonanForman Ahh :)
I am fighting with eclipse during compilation times of my day-job code, hehe
 
@Wipqozn Well I didn't get any feedback.
The majority of people seemed to think it needed to be closed at the time, I'm not sure why it wasn't
 
8:50 PM
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, that is a little strange.
 
There's a lot of reasonable explanations ranging from "People just guessed that they decided not to take action", "People felt that there were enough saving aspects on the answer that it helped the question", and "People forgot about the question".
 
hai guys
long time no chat
how's stuffs?
 
Magic. snort snort
 
But all we have to go off of is the meta question. That's where the confusion comes from
 
@badp Stuff is good. You?
 
9:04 PM
@Wipqozn I'm okay.
How's the United Front of Pony Trollfacers going?
 
Well, my friend said he wanted to take a picture of me and use it in place of the trollface image. So I'd say that front is going fairly well.
 
@Wipqozn Do you have a Problem with that?
 
@GraceNote Proper Problem
 
@GraceNote Problem? I thought it was awesome. One of the best compliments I've ever received.
 
...I must be off on my technique right now. Sounds like I should sharpen up on my sniping, then.
 
9:08 PM
So it would seem.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn That is awesome XD
 
@badp I'm not suspended yet.
So that's good.
 
Keep at it :P

That's not 50% at all!
 
was that really six hours ago? how time flies.

Aye, 'twas
 
@TZHX @Wipqozn is operating at 50% capacity
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Oh man. That's...someone really.....wow.
 
@Wipqozn The number itself is in Base13.2 (about)
 
Man. Looks like somebody really just wanted to make a Pac-Man graph
 
@Wipqozn Study to the test

9:19 PM
 
The chart is just part of their problems
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Yes they do. You can also do tortillas this way and have tortilla bowls for taco salad or whatnot.
 
@Wipqozn I want to put more cookies in these cookie bowls.
 
@Wipqozn I could really eat some cookies right now

9:26 PM
@Resorath Oof, poor Jona.
 
> I would be afraid if I was visiting a friend that if I leaned on the wall, their whole house would reboot.
 
@FAE was thinking the same when I read that :(
 
@FAE I don't really feel bad for him. He made a big fuss of angry comments at the START of the contest, then proceeded to bump his question every hour with trivial edits for a full day. It was made community wiki on the same day he posted because of his constant editing. No tears shed
 
FAE
@Resorath Did anyone comment and let him know that wasn't appropriate behavior?
 
@FAE I didn't want to say anything because I was competing against him. I mentioned it in chat and thats about it. I'd say no.

Q: Is there a way to use .flac files in Audiosurf?

Michael KA while ago, I played the game Audiosurf on a friends computer and I remember it to be good fun. The problem is, if I remember correctly, the game only supports the usage of .mp3 files (and maybe .wav). Since I have ripped all my CDs to .flac files and do not want to make .mp3 copies of my colle...

 
FAE
@Resorath Hm, might be that it isn't very clear to people that it's an acceptable way to get views. We had someone doing this near the end of the ME contest too.
 
@Resorath Are you saying you foresaw this and purposefully didn't say anything because he was your competition? Or do you mean you thought your warnings would be unwelcome?
 
@OrigamiRobot ? The reason he didn't win was that he didn't have his "ggClassic" in his profile which would have given him second place for views. Thats not what I was talking about.
 
@Resorath I meant the community wiki part which is what you were talking about.
 
I was referring to his sportsmanship in the contest is all.
@OrigamiRobot I don't think that had any impact on anything. I was just referring to how it was a measure of his edit acceleration.
 
9:36 PM
Sure. My question stands.
 
If someone is not purposefully using the site you should say something to them or bring it to someone else's attention, regardless of your participation in any contests
Contests do not change the rules of the site or the spirit of community moderation
 
FAE
Weird, chat seems to be oddly slow or something. I keep seeing my entered text and others' text stay green for a while.
 
@FAE I've been getting that off and on all day
 
@FAE Me too. I thought it was just my bad work connection
 
@FAE I'm having the same problem.
 
FAE
9:38 PM
Well, at least it's not just me!
 
Hi @Rapida!
 
Let's lay siege to @balpha's house until he fixes it!
 
@OrigamiRobot My bad then I guess.
and yes it is slow for me too
 
@OrigamiRobot Greetings
 
@Resorath I'm not accusing you of anything. I'm just asking what you meant by "I didn't want to say anything because I was competing against him."
 
9:40 PM
Wasting time until I do an exciting presentation on the cost of software quality
 
@Rapida I am keeping my 1-0 record strong in LoL
 
Nice, anytime you see me on feel free to drop a msg.
 
@OrigamiRobot Based on his earlier hostilities towards me in a comment on meta (because I won the previous round of the contest), I didn't feel it was my place to step in on the issue
Something about bounties
 
@Resorath I see. You thought your input would be unwelcome.
 
@OrigamiRobot right
 
I initially read you remark as "I wanted him to get in trouble and didn't say anything because he was my competition." but I realized it could have also meant the other thing. I just wanted to be sure. :P
 
Go, EA! Good job getting a lot of votes and winning something
 
@FAE bwahahaha
 
@FAE Awaiting EA's response
 
You guys just can't appreciate EA's artistic vision. You say "bad customer service experience", we just have a deeper plot in mind.
 
9:44 PM
@OrigamiRobot yuck
@FAE and awsome
 
@FAE In related news, EA wins best logical fallacy!
 
brb time to rock out a presentation
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Yyyyep.
 
@Resorath Right. I didn't want throw around accusations without clarification.
 
9:47 PM
@FAE That should make @StrixVaria's day.
 
@GnomeSlice ping
 
Leave it to gamers to throw the biggest fit about a company. :-P
 
I am really surprised EA won
 
FAE
@Wipqozn If only EA gave a damn
 
9:48 PM
EA hasn't given a damn in YEARS ... why should it care now?
 
So... Nuclear Dawn is surprisingly fun.
 
@FAE I like how they're going to send out the Golden Poo

@James James because.... yeah. I've got nothing. You're right. I'm sure they don't give a damn about this.
 
9:51 PM
@RESPAWN I am sure they are loving it.. non gamers all over are picking up on ME3 and talking about it.. Press they couldn't have Paid for.
 
I think the real reason being that we gamers are a fickle bunch. On the one hand we'll make a big fuss about something we don't like and sign a petition, but then on the other hand we'll still go out and buy that game anyway and still put money in the dev's coffers.
 
@FAE I like that: "We're not the worst. We are fifth worst."
 
And for all the complaining everyone is doing.. I will lay down 3 to 1 odds that those who complain will buy ME4 :)
 
@James That too.
 
I think EA being voted worst company in america says pretty soundly that we, as americans, are messed up
 
9:51 PM
@FAE It makes me sad how a lot of the comments are like "What's the big deal? This is only a video game company. BoA ruins lives."
 
We pick an entertainment company that made a game for us as the worst company..
 
FAE
@James ME3 was like 99% good.
 
Not people off polluting the environment. not the banks that screwed our economy making up loan obligations that should be ILLEGAL to have done.
 
I seem to remember a bunch of my gamer friends joining the "Boycott L4D2" steam group back in the day. And then on release day, at least 50% of them were playing it.
 
FAE
@James Remember there's still voting bias, as it was only readers of The Consumerist
 
9:53 PM
@James But almost all firms are companies that make things for us. Defending them on that ground doesn't make sense
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot To be fair, BoA is pretty damn awful
 
I know, but I am still saying.. Big whoop a game's ending might not have lived up to the hype.. but Blizzard is weathering StarCraft II pretty well also :D
 
@FAE I'm not making any claims about BoA. I'm just commenting on the mentality that anything related to video games is trivial.
 
crashes through... omg a cute kitty!
 
@James I thought the problem was the way they treat their subsidiary companies, workers, and customers
 
9:54 PM
@James It's more about how they treat developers to me.
 
@James Yes, because a bad ending to a game is the only thing EA has ever done which could be classified as "bad".
EA is a terrible company. They treat their customers like shit. Their employees like shit. And just about everyone else they interact with too.
 
@OrigamiRobot That has been a problem for decades.. And honestly EA are assholes.. But they are not alone.. Activision is up there.. and Vivendi... Well let me just say there is a REASON why they bought out two other companies and then went by THEIR name instead of their own.
 
Jin
@RonanForman hey
 
Heck, I'm not even sure EA would win the award of "worst video game company".
 
@Jin Hey!
 
9:55 PM
OK. Yeah I am.
but still... worst company overall?
 
Jin
@RonanForman no idea what you drew there..
 
@RESPAWN Split them up between Publisher and Developer :)
 
@Jin Me neither.
Oh right! Bar code.
 
FAE
@Jin Barcode?
 
@RonanForman Oh yeah! I think I got one of those from you as well a while back :)
 
FAE
9:57 PM
Woo!
 
PS: giving him the answer is ChEaTiNg!!! :D
 
Looks like a pony playing piano.
 
Jin
right, bardcode..
 
@OrigamiRobot I can see a piano. But I see no pony.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I think the problem here is the main media sources seem to be focusing on EA's day one DLC and the ME3 stuff as "reasons" to dislike EA instead of the real problem, which is their treatment of employees, developers, and their business practices.
 
9:58 PM
It's nice to see that other people with poor artistic skills are also playing Draw Something.
 
@Fluttershy A hoof.
 
@Jin Liar Liar?

@Fluttershy yes.
did you guys hear the good news????

Q: how does premade matchmaking work with a large rating difference?

Q: What actions reward experience?

BlemSome basic actions like kills, assists, healing, damaging buildings and capturing resource points reward XP, but are there other more obscure actions you can do to increase your XP gain and are there any bonus XP rewarded at end of round for winning or doing specific tasks?

 
@Fluttershy It is the majority of the drawing
