wipppppity slappppidy dooooooooo
Thanks anyway. =]
Wow, my new question is gaining upvotes much faster than my answer did. I guess that means I'm learning how to write better!

Q: How is the race score determined in multiplayer?

Anna LearI was playing some multiplayer races in Trials: Evolution last night and noticed that sometimes the score at the end of the race would be adjusted down. What I can't figure out is how this negative adjustment is calculated. It looks like I get negative points for every fault on the course, but t...

wow, this is an oxymoron - the EA indie bundle

@agent86 wat
@agent86 KIHVEBRJ,JF GATLING GEARS
@FAE yarly
@agent86 Oh my God, I've been wanting all of those games. Except 'Shank' which I have.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't want Gatling Gears on PC though.
Also I'm broke abidyvkhmjdnebkvrhbm r,dvne,hjvnme df

@GnomeSlice DeathSpank is fun, but there's like no replayability to those games. Great humor though.
20:19
@agent86 lol - it's still $20
good ol' EA - use similar marketing ideas at 3-4 times normal price
@IanPugsley ...So?
If I wanted to buy Gatling Gears via XBLA, I'd pay close to that, for just the one game.
@GnomeSlice this is Steam, not XBLA - don't bother comparing the prices between the two platforms
when was the last time you saw a good Xbox game for $5, much less a launch title for $30?
@FAE I love how that works. Bundle cost is $69.94. Save 70%, down to $20.98. But if you buy the games individually, it costs $34.94, saving you only ~35%.

@fbueckert Yyyyeah
I just got pinged for that without it showing up in the chat. When I clicked the ping, it opened the transcript. Can you guys see this message?

@FAE I've never understood why bundles cost MORE than the individual games.
I suppose it's EA's "Look at us! We're offering multiple games TOGETHER! We also doubled the price!" tax.
@GnomeSlice Yes
@TimStone Funny, I can't see your reply.
Refreshed. There it is.
chat is behaving very strangely.
Whenever I type something, it shows as green text too, like it's still trying to submit it
20:29
@GnomeSlice let me guess, chrome beta channel?
@fbueckert The games individually normally cost $70, as does the bundle. Now, the games are half off, and the bundle is 70% off.
What's wrong?
@Ullallulloo Oh. Derp. I read that wrong.
The individual game price is the 50% sale price.
@fbueckert Yeah, that threw me off for a bit at first too.
Chrome, yes. Beta... no.
Was working fine earlier today.
@James Do you have access to your videos at the moment?
20:37
@RonanForman I do not.. Sorry man the SMP version of TFCraft was released last night, we were rocking a server till 1am :D
Heh. When you do have a chance make sure to fill it all in, then we can upload them almost daily.
And if you can try and get other peoples healths too.

Anyone else here have Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet on PC, and if so, how are the mouse controls? I do have a 360 controller and I'm wondering how the 2 options compare.
"Don't sell power" - James Portnow
My understanding was that the press release was poorly worded
It's simply an item like any other in the game that has pros and cons
20:44
@tiddy That's good. If a game I actually wanted did something like that seems to say it does, I would seriously reconsider buying it
That upgrade apparently works in a "bonus slot" capacity
Where it replaces, say, bullet time for your "ability"
The game comes with a lot of these upgrades which you can equip and change out per playstyle, etc. So while they will have this damage upgrade, it's only as effective as their opponents counter upgrades
If it's a stopping bullet, then it should lower calibre.
Yeah but you never use the words "Distinct Advantage" in a pre-order press release
Yeah, that's kind of a dumb move.
yay, stack exchange is hiring someone to fix their damn search engine

20:52
@agent86 Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
@FAE our long search-based nightmare will finally be over. Well, whenever I can find the meta thread where it started and post this as an answer. </sarcasm>
@agent86 That looks like a pretty serious position
@agent86 Nick is supposedly working on search at the moment, as well.
FAE

@agent86 ha
Maybe search will actually count plurals now >_>
@FAE we can hope.

• Employees will never be poked with a sharp stick
Sounds like a good place to work.
@RonanForman Nope. They just get a workload that will squash them flat. :P
@RonanForman assuming it's not a lie
Also a free train card. So, there's that.
@Juan I'm being told it's true.
@JuanManuel It's not. The stick is serrated and poison-tipped, but not sharp.
Yes! I'm telling them, stop poking me!
Ooh, they also have desks and chairs!
21:03
@MarkTrapp Sigh. You're right.

Man, the odds of a 1 rep user providing content that isn't a) gibberish b) spam c) completely wrong d) completely covered by existing answers is exceedingly slim
Google is texting me 3 times for each login.
user2334
Dump Google quick then: too needy
I've checked it's phone, it's texting loads of other people too! I think you're right.

Google is a no good engine that's up to no good
crashes through paper mario
Why? You brought paper mario here just to crash through him.
That's mean.
Thats how I show I love him.
Thats why I always make my programs crash.
You're one strange creature.
Still. Not as strange as a robot. Isn't it so, @OrigamiRobot?
21:27
I'm a cartoon, that's kind of odd.
@RavenDreamer You still around?
Ah crap... guess not. Well, anyone else here, do you say 'yea or nay' to where I'm going with this:
You'll notice it's longer now.
@RonanForman ^
@Gnome I'm an expert now?
@RonanForman You're the only one in the chat right now that has ever cared enough to listen, hah.
Hm... I just spent like an hour on those arpeggios at the end, and I don't like them.
That's amazing dude, I'm getting the app entirely for the music.
21:35
@LessPop_MoreFizz blinks
@RonanForman You should hear the other guy's.
@TimStone CHASE YOUR DREAMS WITH BALKI
You releasing a soundtrack?
@Gnome What other guy?
@RonanForman There's another guy also doing music for it.
Raven says there's going to be an option in the game to choose which artist's music you want to hear.
Mine is mostly chiptune, his is full-on orchestral.
@GnomeSlice I listen...
21:39
That sound like a great idea.
@John You weren't here when I pinged.
@GnomeSlice Oh, just noticed you said "in chat right now".
@TimStone Oh man, the reward for 100%'ing. SO GREAT.

Q: What are these glowing yellow objects?

FAEI've just started playing Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, and I ran into this glowing yellow star in the first world. When I approach it, it expands and turns into this: I can fly in and out of it, but neither of the tools I have at my disposal seem to have any effect on it. These are what...

I've been trying to make it longer today, but I'm not sure with how it's going...
Hm, no, I don't like the arpeggios.
Gahh... I'm completely out of ideas
21:43
@LessPop_MoreFizz ohgodohgodohgod
sheep were exploding or something and whatisthisidonteven
@GnomeSlice I think the timbre that does the slides ups and downs sounds too different from the other sounds in the piece.
@agent86 Chase your dreams with Balki!
And now we are so happy, we do the dance of joy!
Okay... this is embarrassing.
I can't even spell my dreams properly.
or wait... does it intentionally introduce typos?
@RavenDreamer Different?
What was it supposed to say?
21:49
@John Pie
@RavenDreamer Ooooh. That makes more sense.
Alot more.
@GnomeSlice As in, it feels out of place with the sort of wet raspy timbre when everything else is so crisp.
I don't know if I'm explaining that well.
@RavenDreamer What do you think of the arpeggios?
@GnomeSlice Actually, the sliding timbre is growing on me. And it works well with the arpeggios (I think).
I'm rescinding my previous comment, and replacing it with this one: you need to have a better transition into the slide and apreggios
because the timbre is pretty distinct
Unrelatedly, did you see this?
I'm not happy with the sound of the arps anyway... I spent like an hour on them too.
@RavenDreamer No, what is it (Other than your game)?
21:53
@GnomeSlice a near perfect run. Missed only 3 beats :(
@RavenDreamer I was hoping someone would mention alots.
@RavenDreamer By you, I presume?
Yup.
I had to make a recording for the professor to grade (in addition to the live performance)
@Raven Who's the other artist called?
Impressive.
Clearly you need to make it more difficult.
22:00
Or make it so it doesn't slow down when it tries to run at 60 fps
:P
Playing it at 30 FPS is harder
I'm always quite nervous between posting something and the first votes on it.
(Read: go upvote me! :P)
Urgh, I want arps... but not these ones.
@GnomeSlice pictures dozens of seals barking: "Arp, arp ,arp, arp..."

Q: Why does Viridian keep saying "...oh, I've already found this"?

John the GreenAt many text terminals that I'm positive I haven't visited yet (this playthrough, anyway [and yes, I reset]), Viridian feels the need to mention that I've already found it, even though I haven't. Why does he say this?

@Lazers You should learn to do the pictures, too.
@RavenDreamer it introduces typos for every star you miss.
@RavenDreamer So, if I keep going like this, that'll be okay?
@LessPopMoreFizz Where do you find this shit.
@GnomeSlice The Internet.
Also, by virtue of being older than you.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I wish I could be older than myself.
@Mana That would be awesome.
22:24
This is insane.
@Mana That doesn't make much sense.
@Mana Also, Lower Dens?
@LessPop_MoreFizz Lower Dens?
Sweet, more Warhawk
oh god I just realized I'm listening to music off laptop speakers for the next week.
22:25
tries to remember who @Rarity is
Bonus points to anyone who can figure out what my wish was.
@Mana :(
Headphones?
@LessPop_MoreFizz forgot them at res.
@GnomeSlice Microwave Angelina Jolie?
@John pffft, I could beat that record in my sleep.
22:27
@Wipqozn I could beat you in my sleep.
@Mana Ouch.
@Mana That sounds like a challenge.
@BenBrocka !!
@Wipqozn Right.... sure you can...
@Mana Get headphones.
22:28
@Fluttershy ...No, that's not it.
@LessPop_MoreFizz That being said, I like this, although I really wanna listen to it.
@Mana Yeah, it deserves better speakers.
Record dropped yesterday. Is getting raves.
it would be like listening to Beach House recorded through a boom box.
shudders.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Lol at the comment explaining what the genre is. 'Baltimore Krautrock'. Nope.
@GnomeSlice Actually, that's a pretty good description.
22:30
@Mana ... Recorded through a boombox?
@GnomeSlice You don't know what Krautrock is, do you?
@GnomeSlice recorded.
@LessPop_MoreFizz No, but it's definitely only a genre to hipsters.
@GnomeSlice No, not really. Unless by 'hipsters' you mean 'fans of experimental art-rock from the 60's-80's.'
Good example of seminal krautrock band Can
Hipster Music*
:P
I'll check it out in a bit, working on some music of my own at the moment.

Q: What's a good MAME Launcher for Windows 7?

Jeremy WadhamsI just finished building an arcade cabinet with, at its core, a Win 7 PC and a 1080p monitor. I've been using MAMEUI64 and a wireless keyboard to select which game to play, but that's hokey and the interface has a really poor signal-to-noise ratio. Is there a MAME front end (launcher) that: L...

@GnomeSlice Oh, those Arpeggios are much better
+1 for them
@RavenDreamer I took out the second one (it was actually two at the same time) and (for now) removed the crazy arp melody
To answer your earlier ping-question
Yes.
@RavenDreamer One more, what about this style of arp:
It's a different link, so refreshing will do nothing.
Oh, nevermind, that's the same arp style
Hang on a sec
22:51
@GnomeSlice Oh my. I rather like that.
Also, up vote this answer it is awesome:

A: Rewards from Mutually Exclusive Factions in Morrowind?

skovacs1No. There is no single list that compiles it all, but I'll do my best to make you one. Thankfully you are only concerned with "the three Great Houses of Telvaani, Redoran, and Hlaalu" and Vampire Clans as typing up the full list for every faction in the game exceeds the character limit for answe...

@RavenDreamer Compare this with this.
Which style do you like more?
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hahahaha! This is amazing!
@LessPop_MoreFizz Any idea on what the music is?
@GnomeSlice I don't even notice a difference between the two.
22:54
> Music is Auricom - Fångad aven korvring, which is a cover of an old Sweedish pop song, I believe.
@Wipqozn @GnomeSlice Same here.
@Wipqozn The arps are different.
@GnomeSlice I don't know what an arp is.
@RavenDreamer Listen to the arpeggios. One sounds more stringy, one sounds more bloopy.
@Wipqozn Arpeggio. It's the bleedleedle bits.
@GnomeSlice I don't know what bleedleedle means.
Your big words confuse me!
23:01
@Wipqozn The beginning of this is arpeggios.
@GnomeSlice I like that, but it doesn't seem like a Game Over theme to me.
The start of it does (~first 5 seconds), but the rest of it doesn't
@Wipqozn Yes it does, it just doesn't sound a whole lot like the beginning.
It's supposed to loop on the 'YOU'RE DEAD' screen.
Just stumbled on this... ilovebees.com
23:14
@RavenDreamer so?
@LessPop_MoreFizz One of the best .gifs ever.
@GnomeSlice Absolutely.
A true modern classic.

Q: Whats the point of asking about the frenchman?

yx.Every time I talk to a traveler in a tavern, I have the option of paying him 30 thaler and having him tell me the location of one Jaques de Clermont. What is his significance other than just being the tutorial dude in the beginning? Even when I go to the town he's in, I can't find any reference...

Q: Do Spectator Controls work while replaying a LOLReplay file?

camiloqpLeague Replays is by far the most famous replaying system on League of Legends, it has a nice set of controls like fast forwarding, slow motion etc.. However the imbued controls on the spectator mode are far more intuitive to use and more useful in my opinion. Will a recorded match made as an ...
