Q: What is steam app 210890?

I just browsed through my steam games library and saw 'Steam App 210890' as something I could install. When I tried to install it, to see what it was, steam told me that it would be downloading now, yet nothing happened. Now I'm just wondering, what is that?

2:24 PM

@MarkTrapp Alternately, you need to get a few friends together and do it in a group, because WoW is a social game yadda yadda yadda. It's pretty easy if you get a pre made that cares more about maximizing caps for a few people than winning.

I know that's how I did it years ago.

I have done my fair share of PITA time-dependent achievements

one of the vidmaster challenges for halo 3 was to play in a playlist you have 7 EXP in on the 7th of the month

which is a weird thing to do

I think one of the SR2 achievements required that you play multiplayer on talk like a pirate day

@agent86 I firmly believe that 90% of wow achievements that get whined about, this one included, are really easy if you do them as part of a decent group, and most of the bitching comes from people trying to go it alone.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I have called in ringers before - my wife probably has more hardcore achievements on her profile than most l33t gamers due to the number of times I've recruited her to be the 4th player or what have you

Only one vote on what we're playing later.

@RonanForman That's me.

Later = in 15 minutes, right?

5:48 PM

@RonanForman Yeah. It's actually because Premiere does not support H.264 in an AVI container. I'm looking into the fix/workaround right now.

@John Yup

@skovacs1 Load in WMM > export as .wmv > import to premiere

@RonanForman That's an option. Or FFmpeg to convert the avi directly to an .mp4 which you can then bring into Premiere.

I was looking for a way that doesn't require conversion

OMG I SAW RONANS FACE!

And I'm off.

In future captures from VirtualDub though, this wouldn't need the extra step if it was exported with a different codec/container

Coincidentally, I don't like my game being watched, so it works out.
