Since I assume you lot have read that question (as you're answering it) - is it really worth five upvotes?

It's about an extraordinarily well-known easter egg, and any amount of research at all answers it - it's utterly trivial.

Ullallulloo

@Fluttershy Even if you don't quote something word-for-word, you're still supposed to cite it.

murgatroid99

Maybe one of us should just edit the source in

agent86

man, if we do a D3 promo contest, I so do not want to get sucked in again. I am telling myself this so that perhaps I will act like a sane, rational human being and not like a crazed, foaming at the mouth prize-beast, intent on devouring ALL THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

I'm like the incredible hulk, except less incredible.

more like the 'eh' hulk

Fluttershy

@agent86 And less hulk-like?

agent86

@Fluttershy yeah, less hulk like. More like the "ehhh person" than the "incredible hulk"

Fluttershy

18:11

@agent86 I just know the only way I'll play D3 is if I win it in a contest like this, or a grant... But... That's gonna depend on what other games are available in said grant, as this one should (hopefully) be a freebie, since I met the requirements for the last grant I participated in.

agent86

@Fluttershy yeah, I have no idea how all of that works - sometimes they've said "you're in if you did a good job last time" and sometimes it's more of "we're giving away N copies, put your name in the hat"

the rules change so often it's hard to say what the rules will be this time

if I have a choice, I'll probably opt for D3, I don't know that there's much coming out around the same time that I'm super interested in. I played the first two titles casually, and I could see getting some decent hours out of #3

Fluttershy

@agent86 Well, if I get a grant, yayyyyy! If not, there's always next time.

user15026

I hope that some day there will be a grant and contest for games that are cute so I an win ALL THE THINGS evil laugh

user19161

@Ullallulloo Well, if I just use 3 words in a 3000 word article I would not cite it. Also I may have written the article myself. Also the 3 words might be "common knowledge".

badp

@agent86 I thought that was our grant.

agent86

18:13

@DerpyHooves we would have to team up and create a snoopy street fair voting ring. But don't tell anyone!

badp

It isn't? Super awesome.

user15026

@agent86 It is our secret.

badp

A secret to everybody.

agent86

@badp yeah, Lauren confirmed that there's a grant planned unrelated to the contest.

@DerpyHooves I think badp might know. Don't worry though, we can just have him killed.

I know a guy who knows a guy who has a really heavy pan we can bang on his head, in a cute (but lethal) way.

user15026

@agent86 murder for winning stuff based on cute games....something is wrong with this picture

user15026

18:15

Oh, well, if he does it in a cute way, I think that would be acceptable. CUTE MURDER.

badp

I'm not sure I understand why they need a two weeks downtime anyway

agent86

@DerpyHooves yaaaay

I hope it's just marketing.

Yes, Diablo is taking over the site two weeks early! Now I have to debate whether I really want to re-install D2 just for the two weeks. I was planning on using Torchlight to tide me over.

Fluttershy

@bwarner I'm debating on whether or not to buy the D2 battle chest... for the fifth time...

@Jin also bacon. don't forget bacon.

FAE

@Fluttershy 5th time?!

Fluttershy

@FAE I... have a bad habit of misplacing the CDs and their CD keys...

Same with the Starcraft battle chest.

FAE

@Fluttershy When's the last time you purchased it?

Fluttershy

@FAE Four or five years ago.

Jin

@agent86 a Baal who's made out of bacon and shoots lazers from his eyes? sounds reasonable.

FAE

@Fluttershy Well if you purchase it again now, you can enter your key on the battle.net website so you can always redownload it.

Fluttershy

Q: How can I turn off the bot spam messages?

Diablo 2's multiplayer has been a wasteland of spam messages for years—bots who enter, post long, green, gigantic messages, and leave. I've asked several party members about how to stop this and they said I can only try to squelch them from the party menu if I'm fast. Is there truly no other way?...

Q: How do players quickly get to Mephisto?

Grace Note

@Lazers I'm very myuuurrrn about these questions. They're acceptable, so it's not like anything should be done. But, well, just voicing aloud, randomly, for once.

badp

@GraceNote Having played the beta I don't think we've seen enough of the game to answer

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote yes

Sterno

@fredley I may have just spammed the front page doing exactly that. And I found a bonus bad tag... selling

Jin

@RavenDreamer you shut your piehole!

@RavenDreamer :) thx for letting me use your battlenet

Raven Dreamer

@Jin It's all good. We should go have lunch sometime soon again.

@RavenDreamer They still get official support 'n' all that?

bwarner

gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/64631/… Wow, we really have some D2 virgins?

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote Including Ladder Resets, yup.

Think of a Ladder Reset as a "Season" in other esports

Grace Note

I played Diablo 2, y'know

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Tip: If you DO buy it again, and you're running Windows 7, just download the client from BNet. No CD required, and it runs better than the CD installs. I found this out last week.

Ian Pugsley

18:58

@GraceNote lol

FAE

@Jin You guys have met up?

Fluttershy

@fbueckert That's what I plan on doing. Gonna go pick up one of those MoneyPak cards today and put some funds in my PayPal.

fbueckert

And for anybody reinstalling D2: moddb.com/games/diablo-2/downloads/d2multires-version-102

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote Now I do.

Sterno

@fbueckert I've used that. It's a mixed bag. Basically you get a very tiny window to play in

Which was bad for playing hardcore, because I kept being afraid my window would lose focus and I'd die

Raven Dreamer

19:01

@FAE Yes. We found out @Jin's mother is my brother's Chinese teacher.

TwistedChaos

@agent86 The lag problem? I am surprised that you are not familiar with it. The problem had something to do with after reaching a certain amount of total game time. After you reached this certain amount, the game was horribly slow and opening inventory, option, pause menu, and loading screens was a hassle. I remember once I timed a loading screen with my stopwatch and it took a total of 31mins 13secs.

fbueckert

@Sterno Granted, but full screen at 800x600 is blech.

FAE

@RavenDreamer Haha what, seriously?!

Jin

@FAE it's a small world we live in

Raven Dreamer

@FAE Yup. Small world indeed. (Though it helps that there's only the one chinese teacher at my brother and my university.

Jin

19:02

I also found out that @RavenDreamer and I are cousins

FAE

@RavenDreamer That's still pretty awesome.

fbueckert

And besides, with more resolution, some skills become crazy awesome. Example: Meteor's range is screen width. More screen = more range.

Raven Dreamer

@FAE So, I think the Charr starting area is stupid-hard.

fbueckert

I've been playing D2 alot this weekend. Can you tell? :P

Ian Pugsley

@fbueckert I assume it doesn't work on bnet?

agent86

19:03

@TwistedChaos "the lag problem" is somewhat ambiguous, is all.

TwistedChaos

@agent86 Nevertheless. What a pain.

FAE

@RavenDreamer They said there are problems with the scaling in Charr personal stories, also they're aware the Flame Shaman event is stupid hard

Ullallulloo

Nevermind, I accidentally zoomed in sometime, and Firefox saved that for whenever I view it, apparently.

Sterno

@fbueckert Huh, maybe it's not the same one then. Because the one I had didn't allow for a wider viewing area on the grounds that Battlenet considered it to be cheating

Raven Dreamer

@FAE I'm more worried that the level 4 quests spawn level 8 mobs.

Jin

19:05

has anyone played Tera?

Raven Dreamer

Which, when you're trying to complete at level 3 (because most of the events in the area are bugged), is masochistic.

@Jin I missed the open beta! :(

Sterno

@fbueckert Are you sure it's safe for multi?

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer Six degrees of bacon

FAE

@RavenDreamer This is a result of the number of people in the event area, they're looking at that as well

Raven Dreamer

Announcement: I will be in Europe during the time period surrounding the Diablo III launch. So... there's your chance! You won't have to compete with Raven Dreamer to get all that sweet, sweet, Diablo III rep!

@RavenDreamer You'll be busy having lunch with me!

Sterno

@RavenDreamer You'll probably just post "Where can I find pants?" right before you leave and come back to find 300 upvotes waiting for you!

Jin

@RavenDreamer you're picking Europe over D3 promo?

Ian Pugsley

@RavenDreamer I know how hard it'll be - I was gone for ME3 :(

Raven Dreamer

@Jin It was exclusive with "having someone else pay for the plane tickets", so that won out.

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer You don't have internet in Europe?

Raven Dreamer

19:09

@GraceNote I don't have smartphone, so... no. Effectively not.

Fluttershy

@RavenDreamer How do I get someone else to pay for plane tickets to Europe? O.o

Grace Note

This isn't really the proper use of the phrase, but nevertheless... BUY MORE INTERNETS

Raven Dreamer

@Jin Oh, I know. It's cool though... I managed to sneak enough army stuff away to sell and make up the difference.

agent86

@Sterno was just watching this... I wish I was capable of enjoying horror films, so many good sci-fi stories are told there

FAE

19:12

@RavenDreamer I'm actually pretty good at talking around and/or through awkward silences in order to facilitate a comfortable social environment. Side effect of dating geeks.

Raven Dreamer

@Fluttershy I'm now picturing you as one of "those guys" with an M1 Abrams on their front lawn.

Sterno

@agent86 Think of it as scary sci-fi instead of horror!

Grace Note

Psh, people and their M-1s...

agent86

@Sterno can't do the scary, sadly.

Fluttershy

@RavenDreamer Sadly, no Abrams. But I did manage to score a gasmask, and a sleeping bag made for -40 weather.

@Sterno I haven't tried it on bnet. So I'm afraid I can't answer that.

I really hope Blizz do a better job preventing cheating in D3 this time

it ruined Diablo2 online play for me

Raven Dreamer

@NickT NVidia just came out with the GTX 680

I don't know if that means the prices have already dropped on the cheaper things

or if they're yet to drop

@Jin That was one of the reasons they elected to make the game cringe Always Online.

Cheats are harder to make when you can't access half the game data (which is all on the Diablo 3 Server, which is BNet exclusive code)

Nick T

@Jin the horribly dated gameplay ruined Diablo II for me

Raven Dreamer

I thought you could change binds for all the skills

agent86

@Fluttershy EDI wouldn't try to assimilate me. I don't mind robot relationships, just want to remain more or less the same person afterwards :P

Blem

@RavenDreamer there is a move button in diablo 3, so just bind that to your mouse

Raven Dreamer

19:32

@Blem You can't change mouse bindings at all.

Unless something has changed since last I played

And I doubt it's just a "move" button...

Nick T

in the bindings there was "move/attack" and "move" as separate line items

19:58

I wonder if this contest is doing what it was designed to do. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like it was targeted to get some Diablo 3 seeding going on, and they threw in Diablo 1 and 2 because not every one could compete in Diablo 3's beta. But now they removed Diablo 3 from the running...

Ullallulloo

@Resorath Well, lots of other people will probably be replaying 1 & 2 in anticipation/preparation, so we're doing it for them.

Ian Pugsley

@Ullallulloo honestly I got the impression that the 1&2 were thrown in for fun, and that they didn't know the D3 beta was ending tomorrow and wanted to seed some more content

agent86

@Resorath I believe the intent is to get D1/D2 questions on the site. D3beta was added because, why not? This is the impression that I'm getting from talking to the organizers.

Resorath

@Michel Captain America dies!

(I actually haven't seen it yet)

is that even out yet?

Nick T

@badp ?

Oak

Also I despise spoilers, so I'm fine with the edit - even though with games from 1996 I'm a bit more flexible :)

Michel

@Oak No problem at all, just kind wondering why. I could be wrong, but I wanna know why

Oak

I mean, at this point, it's like saying the princess is in another castle

Nick T

20:29

Arya goes blind

Ullallulloo

@Michel Shouldn't he still be banned from chat for a few more hours? (It seems that he isn't though.)

Resorath

also @Oak @RavenDreamer just removed your contest tags. You might want to add "Diablo" back at least. I have to go to a meeting.

Michel

@Resorath Was a minor spoiler, but even so =P (If I ask for the spoiler, ok. But if I don't, don't spoiler >.<")

@Ullallulloo TRUE!!! @StrixVaria asked for @RavenDreamer a 72h ban in the Saturday...

Ullallulloo

@NickT Why would you rather have it from Amazon

Nick T

@Ullallulloo have store credit there

was looking at a 6850 GPU which would still have left a bit

Ullallulloo

20:31

@Michel Friday in the US.

Arda Xi

@NickT They send it the day it's released.

Michel

Mods are lazy(Or VERY busy) today... =P

I got a flag that is ticking have 1h =P never had passed 15min

StrixVaria

@Ullallulloo Unbanned about an hour ago I guess.

Ullallulloo

@ArdaXi In the US, they'll often send it sooner though. I don't know if Blizzard lets them with Diablo 3 though.

@StrixVaria hai

StrixVaria

Sup.

Michel

20:33

@StrixVaria hurray!

Nick T

@Michel maybe your flag usefulness coefficient has plummeted into "cry wolf" territory.

Oak

@Resorath right, thanks :)

StrixVaria

I built a giant castle in Minecraft this weekend while I was suspended.

agent86

@Michel well, now that you've called us lazy, I don't plan on handling it for at least another hour. Welcome to slow flag handling town, population YOU

Michel

@agent86 note that I said, Lazy. BUT ALSO busy. xD May count for something

@agent86 ~hug~

BTW, amazing layout for D3 =D

agent86

20:36

@Michel well, now you've called me lazy again. you're at 3 hours now. before much longer, I'm just going to start dismissing your flags as unhelpful! Then a mysterious number that nobody can see but is attached to your profile will go down slightly

you will forever be mocked in the halls of the internet elite members club and your family will disown you

Michel

@agent86 NoOoOOOoOooOooooOOOoO

May I have a hug at least ? '-'

Nick T

is flag weight totally gone or just hidden? do all flags from all users now have equal weight?

agent86

@Michel No.

Michel

@NickT I must be below 0 for sure =P

agent86

@NickT rumor has it it still exists, but not in any visible form. I don't see it, and it doesn't really make that much of a difference in flag handling time, so I say it's a myth.

Grace Note

20:38

It exists, agent86 is blind

tiddy

Though if Michel had one, it would be damn near anorexic

Grace Note

But we hide it from normal users because it's unnecessary to your processing

Nick T

NEVER YOU MIND YOU PLEBS

agent86

@GraceNote I am more or less blind, but I don't see how that's relevant. It's not on the flag page, and not on any user page I tend to click on. If they show it to me in some arcane fashion, I've never seen it.

Grace Note

Well, basically, it was only made public because people wanted to keep score. This led to more flagging, but it also led to 300% more drama about this score than was really necessary. It got in the way of productivity - mods not only had to watch their toes in handling flags, but also had to deal with all the fallout

Q: Good combination of ships for dualboxed exploration

Currently I'm running with a Myrmidon that can do all sites except gravimetric and wspace. On the other account I'm using a Manticore for probing and some extra DPS. What other combinations are considered good?

Q: Cannot connect to the game session Baldurs Gate 2

I am trying to play BG2 with a friend over Hamachi and no matter what I've tried, it still can't find him, even though another one of our friends can join him, and vice versa, so there must be something wrong on my end. Ideas?

Q: What do the "Good" and "Evil" sliders do?

In the Game Settings I can find those two sliders but I have no clue of their effect (if any) in the game. Are they just for the show, a joke if you prefer, or they affect the game somehow?

deathspank

Grace Note

@agent86 I was going to be more obtuse to say "He can't see it because it's not available to it" in a more cryptic/abusive manner, but I decided to mince words and just cut to the chase.

agent86

I can see the helpful flag count for people, but that's info they get to see as well (from what I recall from being a normal person)

@GraceNote this sentence does not parse. Please hang up and try your call again.

Grace Note

@agent86 Maybe it's not that you're blind, but you're simply illiterate, then. ♪

Michel

This should be tagged diablo diablo2, not diablo series. because it does not include d3

Grace Note

I imagine that diablo-series is not to say it's about all of the games all the time, but rather is about things within the series itself, crossing boundaries.

Ian Pugsley

20:44

@Michel also diablo-series isn't getting counted toward the promotion

it's gotta have a game-specific tag

Michel

@GraceNote Then, this should include diablo-series

agent86

@GraceNote I'll have you know my literate is not at all ill.

user15026

@Lazers This is a dupe.

Grace Note

@agent86 Might want to check on your literacy, then

Michel

@GraceNote or am I wrong?

Raven Dreamer

20:45

@Michel No, he asked Graec Note.

Michel

@RavenDreamer o.O?

Grace Note

Propose it in the meta question - I don't disagree with that notion.

StrixVaria

The pinned message says the D3 beta is eligible, but the meta was altered to exclude that. We should update the pinned message.

@Michel I asked Grace to suspend me, not Raven.

Michel

@StrixVaria Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh =O

I didn't remembered =X

Sorry @RavenDreamer for include your nick =X

Raven Dreamer

No skin off my back. shrug

Arda Xi

20:48

This is one of the scariest images I've seen in a while.

agent86

@StrixVaria done and done.

Raven Dreamer

Diablo III eyes on the main site are creepy!

agent86

@RavenDreamer DIABLO 3 IS COMING they seem to say. or actually do say, on hover.

StrixVaria

@agent86 It should link to this

Arda Xi

I wish I could still bring myself to participate in these events... Oh well.

Michel

20:51

@StrixVaria +1 for this

StrixVaria

@Michel I have had this tab open nonstop since March 15.

Michel

/o\

Grace Note

@ArdaXi Bored of them or...?

StrixVaria

@ArdaXi I'm not participating because it's an event. I'm participating because I like answering questions.

Arda Xi

@GraceNote No, just personal reasons.

StrixVaria

20:53

And I happen to know a lot about Diablo 2.

Grace Note

@ArdaXi Gotcha

Arda Xi

I haven't actually participated on the site in ages and I don't see that changing any time soon.

badp

dawww, my cat just sniffed my mouse pointer.

Raven Dreamer

We'll just need to add in hats, again.

badp

Although it's probably only because she can't fathom what is it I'm staring at that can possibly be interesting enough to delay her food.

StrixVaria

20:56

@ArdaXi Does it phase you when I use the wrong words?

Arda Xi

@StrixVaria From @badp, I expect proper grammar. ;-)

StrixVaria

And not from me, as a native speaker?

badp

> As a Soldier, use %attack2% when wielding the Cow Mangler 5000 to fire a charged shot, dealing extra damage and setting the enemy briefly on fire. Be careful! A charged shot entirely depletes the Cow Mangler 5000's ammunition.

Arda Xi

@StrixVaria Native speakers tend to have worse grammar.

badp

The Cow Mangler 5000 has no ammo T_T

StrixVaria

20:59

@ArdaXi That's true. I actually specifically use wrong grammar in some cases so other native speakers who think it's correct don't look at me weird. It kind of sucks.
