@FAE I climbed a tree last weekend in search for a very tiny geocache. Totally managed to get it :D
user15026
Without even falling on my head.
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn Awesome :D
I haven't climbed a tree in a while
I was like, it is time
user15026
@FAE There aren't many climbable trees near me, which is unfortunate
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn Yeah, same. :(
@IanPugsley hmm, indeed. thanks for the advice. I'll have to think about it - some of the features of the HTC phone are pretty advanced compared to the LG, but I'm kind of a "low end" phone user so I might not notice the difference as much.
FAE
FAE
16:01
Also I have a popsicle!
Today is a good day.
@FAE rock on!
Who wants a LoL video? whoooooo
No one? Okay. deletes the video
@agent86 considering it's your first Android phone, I'd say the Optimus wouldn't be a bad first phone (and going cheap your first time around makes sense - if you end up not liking it, at least you're not out $300).
user15026
@FAE Awesome! What flavour?
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn Cherry!
16:03
@IanPugsley yeah, that's kind of how I'm leaning - if I spend $150 now and $150 two years from now, that's two phones worth for $300. I might also just wait around for a sale on the HTC, since I'm not in a major rush.
@FAE Banana is best!
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot I do not like artificial banana!
user15026
@FAE It always reminds me of amoxicillin, so I can't do fake banana.
user15026
I like orange ones best, myself
16:04
Ergh, why can I never correctly understand 'irony'.
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn our amoxicillin was bubblegum
@AshleyNunn Amoxicillin is also the best!
user15026
@FAE Eergh.
user15026
@OrigamiRobot You are a very strange robot.
@OrigamiRobot you might be interested in these chinese banana pops
16:05
@RavenDreamer obviously I should stop stepping away from my computer. I miss all the fun
user15026
@agent86 I read a review - they are often not even banana flavoured.
user15026
which is weirder
@AshleyNunn yeah. I don't know why you'd go through the trouble of shaping some object like another food item and then not make it taste like that food item.
Artificial Bannana tastes nothing like actual bananna.
Also, I can't spell "banana".
user15026
16:07
@RavenDreamer I love how you spelled it completely differently every time.
user15026
@agent86 yeah that is bizarre. Also apparently there is gelatin in it so it doesnt melt.
FAE
FAE
@RavenDreamer When the Quarian infiltrator/engineer in ME3 multiplayer says "For Rannoch!" I always hear it as "Banana!"

Q: How do I fail the first level?

Ashley NunnI am trying to get the achievement for finding a way to fail the first level of Classic mode. Problem is, I never seem to fail outright I can crush pretty much everything and still get one star. How do I make sure that I fail?

I can think of a particular psychologist who would, no doubt, be intrigued to hear that.
16:10
@RavenDreamer about your inability to spell the word banana?
@Lazers @AshleyNunn is this like a sliding puzzle?
user15026
@GnomeSlice You bag groceries - you are given a bag, and various grocery items and you gotta make eerything fit
@AshleyNunn O-o how is this fun at all?
@AshleyNunn So... it's like a pentomino puzzle?
user15026
yeah sorta

but with groceries

Experiment Concluded: Trying to play Diablo 3 on my laptop is like trying to run underwater.
@RavenDreamer :(
I did not know it was possible to play Diablo 3 in slow motion, but somehow my laptop managed it.
sounds like the worst
16:13
@RavenDreamer this is my experience all the time
here's hoping I win a better video card in this contest crosses fingers
Okay, time to have some lunch, then drive to Charlotte.
Farewell, bridge.
@RavenDreamer drive safely!
FAE
FAE
@RavenDreamer Drive safe!
@RavenDreamer This means I actually need to clean...
Thanks, Ladies.
FAE

16:16
@OrigamiRobot hahaha
@OrigamiRobot you said you did already O-o
FAE
FAE
@spugsley Like we went over last night, it's not like there's much furniture to clean up
@spugsley I think that's why he added the "actually" :P
dammit, I need to clean too :/
@IanPugsley you better be cleaning!
I do too...but I don't have anyone coming to visit for another month, so I figure I've got time.
16:19
@FAE :/

@OrigamiRobot This is a plus, man!
Implicature is a technical term in the pragmatics subfield of linguistics, coined by H. P. Grice, which refers to what is suggested in an utterance, even though neither expressed nor strictly implied (that is, entailed) by the utterance. For example, the sentence "Mary had a baby and got married" strongly suggests that Mary had the baby before the wedding, but the sentence would still be strictly true if Mary had her baby after she got married. Further, if we add the qualification "— not necessarily in that order" to the original sentence, then the implicature is cancelled even though...
user15026
@GnomeSlice This is fascinating - but I am curious as to why you linked it
user15026
I do love me some linguistics though.
@AshleyNunn Because it's fascinating. =]
user15026
16:28
@GnomeSlice grins That works.
Oops. Just realized Super Office Stress was part of the Indie Buskers bundle I bought a while ago, so I didn't need to buy it again on Indievania...
user15026
@GnomeSlice oops XD

@OrigamiRobot Took that with your fancy new phone I'm guessing. I see a Fat Pack box on the left, which is it?
16:35
Damn Dragon. STOP CLIPPING WITH THE STAIRS.
I don't have ranged attacks to take you down from there
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Most recent Fat Pack I have is from... TSP I think.
@badp That's... weird. I don't think I ever had that issue.
Those drops I can't get better be not good

@OrigamiRobot Ah, I see.
16:39
@spugsley What, you thought I was?
@Ullallulloo I don't see the wat
@badp upper right. It says that I died via scout and soldier.
@OrigamiRobot no, I suppose not :/
...or I don't understand the weapon. >.<
nevermind. I'm dumb.
@Ullallulloo uh no
You got hit once with the holy mackarel by the scout PEASANTRY PLEASANT FELLOW.
Hence the '×1'
16:44
@badp Please see the two messages above you.
@Ullallulloo eh, it's something unique to that and the spy arm so it's not really a matter of being dumb
besides I don't know why Shinobi got an assist for a single fish hit
perhaps he was a medic?
16:58
Crap, my NPC is still broken.
I guess it's in my save file then...
Whatever, I'm guessing he isn't critical to completing the game.
> Killed from afar by an electric golem (30 damage) ... with a bolt of lightning ... on Level 5 of the Realm of Zot
FFFFFFFUUUUUUU
@badp how's that for OP.
All of the uniques I have equipped give minion bonuses too.
I'm running out of places to store the great stuff I find.
@Pubby That suuuuucks!
@badp what's the most DPS you have in a weapon so far?
@GnomeSlice 644, Epic Brandistock of the Colossus (2 armed)
I'm lagging behind in the dual wielding department
@badp Wow, I've never seen anything above 400. I'm level24 though.

Q: What monsters drop level two clue scrolls?

Shadow ZorgonI want to get some good loot, and I know clue scrolls are a good way to get good items. I know how to get Lv 1 clue scrolls, but I do not know what monster drop Lv 2 ones. Also, could you tell me the item requirements for Lv 2 scrolls(Shovels, sextants, ect. ect.). Thank you.

There I have 384 (Swift Epic Scimitar) + 360 (Zapping Epic Stout Club)
@badp I only have one set of weapons, and I've been dual wielding since the beginning. I suppose I should get a second set of weapons with alternate element properties, but it's impossible to reliably find great weapons with each element fast enough for them to be any good.
17:10
When all's said and done I can do 523-1045 damage per second according to the character screen
@badp Where does it show that?
or 473-944 with the two weapons
Oh, right, but that's next to strength?
oh wait, I shouldn't add defense numbers with the others
I'm adding the strenght, dexterity and magic damages I do
Yeah, the Alchemist is definitely the weakest 'standard attack' class... As you can see.
17:12
eh, so you're dealing a very nice 595-1188 if I'm getting the numbers right
I'm level 35 btw
@badp I can get through entire levels without having to really attack anything myself.
Although... I'm pretty sure I was a higher level than this. I think when I copied my save data to this PC it must have not been quite up to date.
@RonanForman @DMA More skygrid today?
@fredley Sure, more things to edit!
@badp in addition to that, my pet can summon a pack of 6 archers.
17:17
@GnomeSlice eh, I've breezed through levels 1-29 easily. Level 30 is proving pleasantly murderous
@badp which of those would you suggest I keep?
I've never managed to find two things of the same set
@badp I think I have two of one set. But regardless, I was wearing that one anyway becuse I like the effects.
Oh wait, I don't even have the strength stat required to wear the one I just found.
Since you're in the "lava" level I'd keep the +72 fire resistance
That solves that.
17:20
I'd switch to the Snapdragon Scalecoat after getting enough strength given that it's got a more balanced set of resistances
and your posion resistance is worryingly low
@RonanForman Hooray!
@badp Where do you see that?
Bacon!
I've never really worried too much about elemental resistances.

17:21
@fredley awesome
As far as I can tell, most of the enemies just try to hit me with stuff.
@GnomeSlice after wading through levels after levels of corpses leaving poison puddles?
@badp What? I don't remember that. Actually, that does sound vaguely familiar, but I never really had an issue with it. My Pet just continuously heals my party.
Although, I'm pretty sure at one point I actively added some poison resistance during that section.
@badp what does your pet sheet look like?
@fredley Have you asked DMA?
17:25
I'll respond when it loads... sigh.
well I guess that makes my total theoretical DPS 1,062-2,123
@RonanForman Apart from just now, no
especially since currently the pet does store trips in less than a second
Ergh, it just crashed.
That stinks, I'd just found a really sweet pistol I was going to put in the chest for my ladycharacter.
although I should remember that I've got slash attack doing 149% of my DPS to anything in range
so whatevs, those calculations are kinda hairy
17:30
@badp I've got minions adding to mine, too.
Whoa, look at what I just found.
Ergh, now I remember one of the things I liked the least about torchlight. I spend way too long endlessly comparing equipment to other equipment.
hah. "Resistance to ranged attacks."
@badp What?
@GnomeSlice 0% of my attacks are ranged.
is there a psychology stack exchange?

Q: How does the Zombie Dogs rune Life Link work?

Q: Is the total damage output merely the sum of the melee, ranged and elemental damages or is it less than that?

badpAccording to my character sheet, my level 35 destroyer deals 514-1,028 strength damage, 0 ranged damage and 9-17 magic damage. 514 + 0 + 9 = 523; 1,028 + 0 + 17 = 1,045. Gnomeslice's level 24 alchemist, according to his character sheet, deals 2-3 strength damage, 306-612 ranged damage and 287-57...

However, this is opposite of what I want. My desktop has a 5-button mouse and it would be a shame n...

17:35
@badp Resistance to ranged attacked is like defence, you don't need to have ranged attacks for it to work. Besides... where does it even say that on that screenshot?
@GnomeSlice I just defeated a semi-boss with this attribute
Whoo, got me a Boss to fight. 'Krag'.
As the scout would say, Lotta good that hard hat did ya!
...Or I did until I turned on Anti-aliasing and it closed...
Aaaand no damage to me at all. Lol.

RAH! Got him, finally.
18:24
@TimStone ...after 28 minutes?
I died at one point, so I had to start over.
So how long are you going to need to take down the real, real boss?
But it was pretty lengthy, the game started the Out of Time penalty.
@TimStone there's an out of time penalty?
Yeah. I'm not sure of the exact mechanics in D3, but basically the game punishes you for taking too long.
By upping the monster's damage or what have you.
First time I've ever hit that though...just hard to kill those strong enemies when they have invulnerable minions, since I have to go way close to do damage. Otherwise my arrows just hit their minions and do nothing. >:/
Definitely need to find a better bow though, as I imagine a large part of my problem is that I'm not doing nearly enough damage for my level.

Q: When do items get their attributes?

AndersDo items get their attributes when mobs spawn, when they die, or when they are identified? If items' attributes are determined when they are identified, will taking gear with better magic find affect item attribute determination?

I mean, if the stronger enemies also drop better loot you could just do this deliberately
Yeah, it doesn't work that way. There's an icon that comes up that explains what happens (I'm pretty sure it's just insta-kill damage, or life drain), but I was a bit too distracted to mouse over it. :P This guy actually dropped terribly when he died, wasn't even worth the effort.
18:45
They do continuous damage to players near them and heal when they aren't being engaged. It basically makes the mob unkillable.
