Q: Is Baron really game changing?

Wilson LaSo I recently played a normal game, and the kill count was 18-4 at about thirty minutes. We pushed to the inhib turrets in all three lanes, but we weren't aware of them doing Baron. They proceeded to win the game after acing us.

Subjective?
NARQ too?
@John I thought that was already closed :/
I voted on it and everything.
@Wip :(
Well the votes timed out
Well, it should be closed.
I have spoken, and so it must be done.
I agree. With the "it should be closed"part, anyway.
Furthermore, I'm going to bed.
I'm tired, and I have work in the morning.
00:05
Night!
@Wipqozn ...It's not even dark...
@Ullallulloo It's dark here.
It's not late mind you, only 9pm! But still, I'm tired. So an early night it is!
I forget you're later than I. Canada seems so near.
@Wipqozn I didn't know Canada even had time zones that late.
@John Time zones are based on horizontal distance from the equator, not vertical.
00:10
@Wipqozn It has nothing to do with the equator.
@Ullallulloo ...yes
I think I depred.
I also just derped up spelling derp.
Derp.
@Wipqozn you lost 5 awesome points :(
@agent86 Yeah, I just lost all respect for myself.
I'll never speak to myself again.
Anyways
I'm going to bed
good night all

Q: What happens in Team Monobattles if my Infestor obtains a worker of a different race?

ayckosterIn Team Monobattles a player is restricted to one attacking unit. It is possible to get or select Infestors. Then I can Neural Parasite an enemy worker to build a main building (Nexus, Command Center). Given time and resources. Am I allowed to build the other players unit as well (e.g. Marine)?

I'm looking for an offline (asynchronous) version of Battleship
(it's for a competition where people play in vastly different timezones)
can anyone recommend anything? I didn't see anything after extensive Google searching.
user15026
@ashes999 I don't know of anything like that, unfortunately
Thanks @DerpyHooves, I figured that if I can't find it in Google, it probably doesn't exist :/
@ashes999 Any particular platform?
01:58
so you're looking for something not iOS-based?
@GnomeSlice web-based, for sure; anything else is optional
@agent86 nope; there's a pirates something on iOS (put it in my question) but it seems to be iOS only, so it's a no-go
Hmm... If anyone would know about such a thing it would be me. Or @DerpyHooves. I don't know of anything like that either...
user15026
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I don't really know anything in that arena really
Why can't you just play battleship by e-mail? Do you really need a program to enforce the rules for you?
@ashes999 there's this email variant but it's quite old. probably somewhat hard to find legally

Q: What does the letter+number on the GOMTV GSL scoreboard mean?

Nick T On the above picture of a GOMTV GSL scoreboard I assume the P and T stand for Protoss and Terran, but what does the number mean? Seed?

@agent86 thanks, but it won't work.
@ashes999 Sucks that you can't trust the integrity of the players :(
Man, I really hope I don't have to code this :(
@StrixVaria it's a small community, so I probably can. But with a hefty prize, I'm not so sure anymore :)
@ashes999 hah, when it comes to prizes, people will cheat :)
02:02
Make them take a photograph of their board before beginning the game, and have them submit it to a third party.
@GnomeSlice yeah, you could have some sort of arbitrator keeping score, but that might get labor-intensive
Yeah, sounds it
it's probably what I would do rather than code something up, I guess depending on how many players are expected to compete
@agent86 Nah, just have him check theend result, and if it doesn't match up, declare the game invalid.
could just take a picture of the "final" position of your ships
02:04
@NickT Is that not the same thing I suggested?
Too much work, albeit great suggestions. Quite frankly, I'd rather code it than go through all this arbitration stuff.
Has Battleship changed?
=[
@GnomeSlice that's the method to cheat your solution
unless you need to do it at the start
So I guess the consensus is "doesn't exist, take photographs or code it yourself"?
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.
@NickT Yeah, I said take a pic before beginning the game.
Send a photo of each board to the arbitrator at the beginning, have him verify them at the end.
02:12
@ashes999 yeah, I generally like to find the right answer, but I think in this case that's the best we can come up with :/
@ashes999 if you come up with some scheme to do it via email in some crude way (e.g. take a picture of your ships at the start) you could probably throw it up on B&CG.SE and ask people if there's some way to cheat it

user15026
I am trying not to get too excited, but the Library and Information Science proposal is inching towards beta. Considering how long it has been in this stage (more than a year) though I am scared it will not survive.
@AshleyNunn It's a strong content area for an SE site, but there's very low overlap with the existing SO/SE community, so you'll need to do a lot of outreach to get it off the ground.
which can be tough.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah - I am going to try to get word out to my work (a university library) and as many other libraries as I can, but it will be tricky. I am hoping that once it hits beta I can poke a few places that I know are interested in a LIS site and see if I can't get interest.

@AshleyNunn A big concern for Libraries.SE is going to be quality during private beta when it does finally reach that point. Having hundreds of people who are not regular SE folks doesn't usually end well. I predict a lot of "What are your favorite X?" questions in early beta
user2334
Then again, SmugMug.SE had a similar problem and it wasn't so bad (although they suffer from lack of traffic), so who knows
I was wondering when the "What causes me loose cow privileges?" war would start.

@agent86 Oh you and your faster answering.... somehow we came up with two completely different answers... yours is all technical and stuff
@EBongo I have until Thursday to get a Sakura dragon... =(
@Fluttershy Someday they will allow dragon trading, I just know it. It will probably cost gems.... :) Viva La Microtracion!
@EBongo I was about to go all "oh no you di'nt!" on you for that :P
@EBongo It just sucks that they'd have such a rare dragon for such a short time. I've been trying non-stop since they were announced, with zero success.
@agent86 I did a lot of research on that one - just slowly, and not on the Nintendo website. You know, the dumb way?
@Fluttershy Yeah, but I think the fan base craves that sort of thing. Otherwise, why make them limited at all? Making them rare just gets people more geeked up about getting them. I personally much more excited I've got a Rainbow and a Panlong in the hopper (finally).
03:34
@EBongo yeah. it's like when a girl goes to a party and realizes she's wearing the same dress as some other girl at the party. Apparently that's a bad thing.
@EBongo I've been farming survival on DD'ers, although I don't know if you still have interest in that game or if other things have come along that are more entertaining. I've found some unique pets the past couple of days. Nothing world-shattering, but interesting nonetheless.
also, you should go and watch the black ops 2 trailer, because, well, we both know you're likely to buy that on day one.
may as well get the hype train a'rollin
@agent86 Any shame I felt was just outweighed by your dress reference.
@EBongo Mission. Accomplished.
@agent86 As in... Call of Duty: Black Ops 2?
although, halo 4 is also coming this year. I don't know where these two franchises rate on your hype scale relative to one another.
@agent86 I am still interested in DD, just had a bad string of sickness in the house recently. Wife getting better, daughter taking ill - like a never ending cycle.... :'(
03:38
@Fluttershy yes, he's an unapologetic CoD fan.
I dabble, for the lulz. I curse more frequently at the CoD series than practically any other game series.
@agent86 I don't want to live on this planet anymore...
@Fluttershy no, you misunderstand... uh... he plays it for the articles... yeah.
It's even in my profile. Arguably I'm a Renaissance man though, I own darn near every console. @agent86 acts like he hates CoD, but that's because hipsters use the side door.
@agent86 I just mean because they're making a sequel to a game as crappy as Black Ops.
@EBongo I have a love/hate relationship with the series. Somehow they get me to plunk down my cash yearly, but it's mostly because of our crew. Otherwise I'd have nobody to complain about the game to, and what's a hipster without an audience to look down on?
03:43
@Fluttershy As I've played MW3, I gained some respect for Black Ops. My favorite installment in the series is easily MW2, due to the insanity of OMA and Noob tubage, but Black Ops did offer some of the most intense camping I've done in the series. MW3 is poorly executed in a lot of ways, but the new features were enough for me to swallow the bitter pill.
@Fluttershy well, I think regardless of the quality of the previous game, they were going to make another
@Fluttershy Now if you're attacking the game for plot... well what did you really expect?
@EBongo I'm not attacking it for plot. I'm attacking it for being the exact same game reskinned. Every single time.
@EBongo I've got to run, but here's hoping everyone's feeling better soon. sick family is no fun :(
@Fluttershy oh, cmon, the AK-47 model has to have at least like... 5% more polygons this year... right?
@agent86 I think the shading on the magazine is a bit darker. That's all though.
03:46
@Fluttershy Being the same game is what I like about it, but then I'm admittedly casual. I know how to play Halo and CoD, that's it. I played the Battlefield Beta and was battered, insulted, pillaged... the list goes on. I'm to old to learn a new FPS.... and there are those in our crew that make me look ... well ... highly adaptable.
@agent86 Thanks... later
@EBongo I guess I just don't see the need to pay $60 for the same game 5 times, y'know?
@Fluttershy It is a perfectly reasonable perspective. I would probably enjoy a new shooter with the same controls but some kind of actually good plot, and some new twist - but the developer juggernauts will oppose that with as much inertia as they can muster. They like the predictability of my $60 every year.. more when it include services like Elite, and DLC.
@LessPopMoreFizz I don't see how that is preventing him from doing anything, but then... I'm sure I don't want to know why.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm gonna sue the porn industry for priapism.... Man people are stupid. o.O

seanDiablo 2's multiplayer has been a wasteland of spam messages for years—bots who enter, post long, green, gigantic messages, and leave.

Dupe?
They are both essentially "How do I deal with spammers?"
@OrigamiRobot No.
And why not? Just because the original assumed a specific answer doesn't mean he wasn't asking the same question.
Because they are different questions. The answers even are different.
I don't see any benefit to the site by closing one and redirecting traffic to the other.
Are they?
Whichever you close, information will be lost.
Merged, maybe.
Closed as dupe? Definitely not.

sean essentially asked me to post my answer in his question.
I seriously don't like that guy.
the only extra info is the N key

Then trust my judgment :P
I don't care what methods are used, I just think we only need one question. Close as dupe is the only method I know of for that, so that's what I said.
Also, your answer is wrong :P
> Unfortunately, there isn't really anything you can do to prevent the messages in the first place.

What should I get my wife for her very first Mother's Day?
Maybe some laundry detergent and some lunchmeats with fresh bread
"sandwich ingredients" if you will
The correct answer is "Diablo 3"!
@Sterno She's not your mother. Don't get her anything.
Logic!
If I had to get gifts for every person I know who simply "is a mother" on that day, I'd go broke.
I think "wife who had your child" is a special exception
As opposed to "that lady who I buy soda from at the 7-11"
Seems pretty arbitrary to me.
Glue a bunch of macaroni to a piece of construction paper. Mothers love that crap.
13:36

@Sterno Diablo III macaroni art? Perfect gift.
@IanPugsley I suspect it will require a lot of ketchup

@MarkTrapp that is my biggest worry. There was a story-rec question on their currently allowed list and i was like oh no this is not good. Mind you things might be different when/if it makes beta but its definitely worrisome.

Marketing your Android app or doing market research
Issues with the Android Market from the point of view of a developer or publisher
I guess this is neither of those...but it doesn't really fall under the on-topic either.
It's not a developer question, nor am I asking this from the PoV of a dev

was just about to do that.
@YiJiang That's fair.
Last message in the room was 6d ago
Yeah...so I couldn't ask there.

Do you think it's very off topic for Gaming?
I'm waffling.
It doesn't really have much to do with gaming, right? The Play market encompasses a lot more than just games.
@Mana Yeah. I personally think it's a clear cut migrate to Android if you don't want it here
Well, it was because when I started writing the question it was specifically about this game
Then I realized that it's a Google Play feature

I don't play the game though, so I can't comment
Now that all the contest and hype and stuff is gone and people have had time to actually play it: Was KoA a good game?
@skovacs1 No
Then what purpose does it serve?
@skovacs1 It's so everyone else has context for what you're referencing.
14:05
@StrixVaria Eh. I had fun with it for a while, but no, not really one I'd recommend
Ah. thanks.
I'll check The KoA on casual. Give me 5 minutes
@Sterno This is what I would say about Skyrim too.
Now that the "HOLY CRAP SKYRIM OMFG" has worn off.
I like Skyrim a lot better
I will say the first playthrough of Skyrim was really, really good.
But the replayability is really low for a game that tried so hard to make it high.
@StrixVaria Well, that's probably partly because you tried to play it again immediately after finishing it the first time.
14:07
Maybe my standards are just impossibly high.
@GnomeSlice That might be it too. I was seriously disappointed by how the Imperial and Stormcloak questlines were pretty much carbon copies of each other.
@StrixVaria You might as well take out "questlines"
@StrixVaria KOA got pretty boring about 10 hours in, once you'd seen every enemy type. It was kind of like a single-player MMO
Essentially, Skyrim was really good at looking deep, but was not really good at following through with it.
I've never really found any RPG I've ever played to have much replayability.
Diablo 2 :P
14:12
@StrixVaria BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
@Mana Problem?
why am I playing this game.
@StrixVaria 'That I've played'
@GnomeSlice I'm so sorry.
all I do is kill zombies. and more zombies.
14:12
@Mana Which game? D2?
IT'S SO GOOD
Eh, I've been enjoying Torchlight
Torchlight is ok.
and then some more zombies show up and it's like well fuck I have to kill these ones now too.
I beat it once and then I was done with it.
@Mana What class/build?
I can't find reference anywhere else on the web to there being no backpacks in casual mode of KOA
14:13
then there's a large special zombie and it makes me slow and it can shoot three arrows and it's almost killing me and holy crap this is the easiest difficulty level.
@StrixVaria I started with Paladin, realized I was screwing up my build, restarted with a Concentration-focused Barb.
yeah, KOA is kind of a waste of time IMHO
Two games that come to mind with replayability to me are Diddy Kong Racing 64 and Vanquish
@GnomeSlice YES.
@Mana Which one.
Concentration! Who uses that!? And I thought I came up with wonky builds.
14:14
@GnomeSlice DKR64.
I could play DKR all day every day.
Is Vanquish really replayable? The game is rather short
@YiJiang But it's so much fun.
Roguelikes and DF are really replayable :P
Every few months I haul it out and play it mercilessly for a few weeks or so.
14:15
I get frustrated with Roguelikes after I get 1 semi-good character.
I had one character make it to the end of the Lair in Crawl and went deeper in the dungeon than ever. Then I died to something I couldn't see.
I haven't played Crawl since.
@GnomeSlice The game is only a few hours long, but it is a blast, yes
@YiJiang It's not AS SHORT as people make it out to be.
Tetris has pretty awesome replayability.
3
@Sterno That is until you build a script to play it forever on a loop
Tetris music in everyone's head
14:18
oh, for replayability, Civilization. Or something like SimCity
probably among my all-time most-hours-sunk-into games
pretty much anything by Sid Meier I will invest ungodly amounts of time into
SC4, gosh. But building up a city again from zero to a million from scratch is pretty painful
@agent86 I should go back and play SMAC, I haven't touched it for probably a decade
@IanPugsley SMAC's pretty solid, I wish they'd make another game along those lines.
I never liked Civ but I loved SMAC, no idea why
well, many of the concepts from SMAC eventually made it into the "mainline" franchise, although the setting is pretty unique, which might contribute to your favoritism
14:21
Why is Duels of the Planeswalkers giving me a promo code?
I guess I haven't given Civ a chance in also probably a decade
OK I just did a Casual Run on KoA from the start right up to the first shop and the backpack was there.
I think the poster probably just doesn't realize that they can scroll the shop window
I found Vanquish's challenges impossibly hard
@skovacs1 In which case, they sorta deserve the downvotes.
@IanPugsley Civ4 is really, really, crazy good. Civ5 has some fundamental flaws but I liked it.
I was just confirming that it was in fact a dupe. I still think they deserve the downvotes regardless
14:29
The... the tutorial is broken, too...
user30
hrm.
user30
I finally updated the development status list on http://0x10c.com/ and maybe did some ARGing.
user30
Seems to return a streaming resource. Probably related to number of people requesting it.
Jesus, I can't even beat the first opponent in DotP
mtg?
14:49
Yeah. I guess I shouldn't try to use a forest deck, and use the default White one.
=[
@GnomeSlice Really? If found them quite easy. 2012 or original?
2012, I think.
straight campaign?
Straight?
In 2012, you have 5 different tabs for different styles of campaign gameplay
14:52
Didn't notice. But yeah this is 2012
This time the game is going much better...
He's not playing anything...
Someimes restarting the duel and hoping for a better deal is all you can do.
I tried twice with both forest decks and failed.
Yeah, MtG is still a game of chance even though there is a lot of strategy involved.
Not 5 tabs, 4 tabs - Campaign, Archenemy, Revenge and Expansion
@GnomeSlice One primary thing to keep in mind: Creatures are generally not expendable. You should try to keep "card advantage", which means that more of your cards are in play having an effect on the game than your opponents'.
If you have to lose a creature, make sure you take out an opponent's creature too.
14:55
I have played MtG before.
But thanks anyway.
=]
Good luck! I've never played this specific game, but I played MtG too much in HS.
Fighting Koth?
I don't know many people interested in it, so I haven't played MUCH.
@skovacs1 Yes.
Pretty sure I'm going to beat him this time.
It really is quite random sometimes. I've restarted a duel like 6 times on the hard difficulty when the game decided not to be cooperative.
I forget how the blocking works. What determines how much damage one blocking monster takes over another?
If two are blocking the same creature, for example.
14:58
@GnomeSlice If you block with multiple creatures, the attacker chooses how much damage to deal to each defender.
How come when he blocks ME with multiples, I don't get to choose...
The game auto-calculates it for you if you are the attacker though
@GnomeSlice The game might be automatically assigning it for you.
It probably does a good job of it, to maximize the creatures killed.
14:59
You can turn off some of the auto-decisions in the options, but I don't believe that particular decision is included.
Although I can think of a lot of cases where I would definitely want to control how damage is assigned to blockers.
