I used to love it, but found the format tiring after a few series

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice Is this a different top gear?

RESPAWN

@fredley I hear people say that quite often. I personally find the guy funny.

fredley

I'm British, shows should have seasons that are 6 episodes long, and no more than 3 seasons.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman No, I'm talking about the UK one.

agent86

@OrigamiRobot hey, cut me some slack. I just combined doctor who and star trek into one catchphrase :P

@OrigamiRobot Make it so. So's are cool.

fredley

@RESPAWN He's very, very right wing (for here). I find that hard to get around.

FAE

@fredley Haha really? My b/f really likes the show and his humor.

@fredley Wow, he is, really?

GnomeSlice

I actually like James May the most.

Abby T. Miller

@OrigamiRobot that was on one of our serious lists! there's no concrete progress, but not because none of the things we came up with are good. just because no decisions have been made yet

@FAE Yes. He's also very intelligent, unlike the other 2

GnomeSlice

I'm not sure that video will actually cover the whole segment though.

OrigamiRobot

That one is my favorite because:
A) It's already a chat easter egg
B) It was my idea

FAE

@fredley Yeah, like when he goes on a rant about explaining something, then the other two just laugh at him.

GnomeSlice

Yeah, no it doesn't cover the whole thing,

Abby T. Miller

@fredley I waffle on Hammond. I like seeing him make more grounded commentary, but it's very rare I see that.

fredley

@RonanForman PARADIGM

@fredley That was good, but just last night I saw the one where Jeremy had to drive a reliant robin a terrifying distance of 14 miles.

I cried tears of laughter.

GnomeSlice

fredley

@GnomeSlice That was pretty good. V obv staged, but still funny.

GnomeSlice

@fredley Hah, yes.

@fredley I dunno, I read somewhere later that the guy in question didn't actually know about it, but I get the feeling he was planning to have his yard remodeled anyway.

FAE

16:11

@OrigamiRobot That's a totally valid usage yo

fredley

@GnomeSlice Yes. I find it strange that a lot of people don't realise it's scripted. I often see the scripting as very heavy handed.

GnomeSlice

@fredley Explain that again but with a different phrase than 'heavy handed', I don't actually know what that means.

OrigamiRobot

@FAE Just because it's valid doesn't mean it's not dumb, yo.

For example at least two times they've interfered with the BBC's newscast. They drove the Peel P50 thing through the hallway behind one of them once, and another time they drove little radio controlled cars with fans on them up the side of the building and around on the glass behind the newscast.

I love the specials, though. The Bolivian one was awesome.

fredley

The specials are pretty good

OrigamiRobot

@YiJiang Guesstimate is in the dictionary. Does that mean it's not dumb?

PS I cant actually see your link so I'm just guessing at its content.

GnomeSlice

My father got a ton of movies and TV shows on his media box from his friend with real internet, including every episode of Top Gear.

@GnomeSlice So it's like your own personal Dave, but without the ads?

GnomeSlice

GnomeSlice

Oh.

Then, yes I guess.

We've been watching them in-order on a per-series basis, but not watching series' in any order.

@fredley Sounds like the best channel ever.

GnomeSlice

I'm also not sure if the bit in there where they roll the car behind a newscast and get everyone running over to see if he's okay was scripted or not.

fredley

@RESPAWN It's ok when hungover

GnomeSlice

It's not a BBC news agency.

RESPAWN

@GnomeSlice I'm pretty sure it was scripted. A lot of the show is. But it's still funny, so I don't care.

GnomeSlice

@RESPAWN A lot of it is, but I dunno, that wasn't a BBC news casting agency, and they looked pretty concerned.

fredley

16:20

@RESPAWN All the news stuff is scripted, it's never actually visible on the news.

GnomeSlice

There's a decent upload of the trucking one, but I till can't find one where they show the race.

They also make a lot of references to celebrities on the show, which means I don't get most of the jokes.

I just find the presenters hilarious together.

Richard Hammond's acting is a bit forced some times, but eh.

There was the time they all went to Vietnam and rode motorcycles across it, and they started buying each other really large and ridiculous 'gifts', like statues.

Which they then had to carry around on their bikes.

Lauren Gundrum on April 20, 2012

A few months ago, I outlined a contest formula called “Hot Topics,” which has become a staple in CHAOS’s site-promotion efforts. For those who missed that post, Hot Topics initially worked like this:

Pick a topic of the week, and enter everyone who asks a question related to that topic into a random drawing to win a prize. The number of entries a person gets is equal to the number of questions they ask about the topic of the week.

We now have a few variations on this contest format.

Blog - Stack Exchange: Good Subjective, Bad Subjective

Robert Cartaino on September 29, 2010

Stack Exchange is about questions with objective, factual answers. We’ve been crystal clear about this for as long as I can remember, even back to the earliest, pre-beta days of Stack Overflow. It’s right there in the standard Stack Exchange FAQ:

What kind of questions should I not ask here?

Avoid asking questions that are subjective, argumentative, or require extended discussion. This is not a discussion board, this is a place for questions that can be answered!

Thus, questions that are not answerable — discussions, debates, opinions — should be closed as subjective. It seems simple enough: Fact good; opinion and discussion bad. But why? …

@Wipqozn86 Yes. It would be fun for maybe 5 minutes. You'd pop a balloon, light a match, then you'd have done everything you were ever going to do with it.

Q: QR Code discovered in the Soundtrack

Since some people were saying that there would be things hidden in the soundtrack, I played a little with "Sonic Visualiser". Using the track "Spirit", we can found a QR Code at the end : After cleaning it : 1955 1958 1960 1961 1967 1969 1971 1977 2003 2005 What does it mean ? ^^;

Q: Skyrim third shout

There is something I'm missing. I'm stuck at the gate. I hold the shout button down and I blast the gate open. Everything I have read to this point says to hold it down. That is not working. I have held it tapped it for various lengths of time. I've even tried with various combinations with othe...

Can someone explain to me why the crap question reference from @Raven on this comment: @NickT Because it's not a question about the game. It's a question related to your hearing (or inability thereof). If the question was, "Why does Lulu say, 'Transmogulate'?", it would still be a crappy question, but it would at least be about a problem in the game. gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/63318/…

@NickT Mind me taking a stab at editing the question?

@Michel @RavenDreamer I think a question of 'What are the quotes that Lulu says?' is a perfectly valid question. Explaining then that some of them just sound weird and you would like confirmation for them also seems to keep it within a good question IMHO.

Michel

@James I Agreed in the point "What are the quotes that Lulu says for each spell, I can't understand them and I could use it as resource to improve my game-play against lulu"

James

@Michel Most of her abilities are auto targeted, hearing whats going to happen wont help much more than seeing it ;)

Michel

@James But "I Hear Bee, is that really Bee? because it's funny" is not a good question (maybe in @Raven thinks it's not even a question)

Nick T

@James feel free

@James True. It'll not help that much. But some people just play by what they hear not only what they see

Q: What does Lulu say?

What are the quotes that Lulu can say while casting? Almost all of them are amusing but some seem to be more nonsensical than others, like 'Frog Ovulating!'. It would be nice to have a list to compare against.

Feel free to alter it if need be, but that looks like a valid question to me (no longer asking people to guess what you think you are hearing).

I Think it's a weak, but VALID question. But i can't throw any openvotes or close votes (low rep 4tw xD)

Q: Rift Expert Dungeon Gear Requirements

I hit 50 the day of 1.8 (healing cleric), and I'm wondering if I can do expert dungeons with my tank buddy. The Internet seems outdated on just how endgame progression works since the expert tiers merged in 1.7. In fact, I can't find a single resource that's been updated since the change. The i...
