Q: How do you get Freedom Fighter accomplishment in Mass Effect 3?

I am playing through Mass Effect 3 again now that the Extended Cut DLC has come out, and trying to clean up the few missing achievements I have. One of the ones I'm missing is Freedom Fighter - about delivering the intel about Cerberus to the colonists on Eden Prime. Looking online, I see the...

Jason Berkan

@AshleyNunn You know you've taken the red pill when a meta distracts you...

user15026

@JasonBerkan Hahaha, yeah, I am kinda getting sucked in. It's like quicksand, but made of awesome.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn You're made of awesome! Burn.

agent86

@Wipqozn highfive

user15026

@Wipqozn I don't think that worked quite the way you intended ;)

agent86

4:02 PM

you told her!

Wipqozn

@agent86 high five

Also, 2 hours until meet the pyro.

agent86

man, I need an easy day today.

user15026

Oh yes, I feel -so- told.

tiddy

Jason Berkan

@agent86 Suspend everyone and go home.

user15026

4:02 PM

@JasonBerkan This is a pretty foolproof plan, I think.

user15026

@tiddy you know your own name, yay?

agent86

@JasonBerkan I have to agree. Maybe I should just press this big red "off" button with the post-it that says "DO NOT PRESS"

user15026

@agent86 Move the post-it first.

agent86

@AshleyNunn this is just how he arrives. It's sort of like "hello everyone!" but with more "tiddy"

user15026

@agent86 Ah, okay, that makes so much more sense. Thank you for the clarification

tiddy

4:04 PM

I recommend it to everyone

(saying tiddy, not your own name)

James

@tiddy Ill pass :)

Sooo @agent86 @fbueckert Track IR == Very very nice.. Four of us tried em out last night and think if we went back to playing Arma 2 or DayZ (Especially DayZ for me) with out them we would still be looking all around :)

tiddy

@James Your Skyrim charity has already donated 160hours to the tiddy fund

James

@tiddy Haha, Nice :)

tiddy

I think my girlfriend considers you a drug dealer

Wipqozn

@James Oh my. You ladies and and gents were playing DayZ without me? What sort of heresy is this!

James

4:11 PM

@Wipqozn o.O

@Wipqozn Its a group of four of us, hehe.. Two of us are up to our 2nd day of survival :D

agent86

@James well blow me down

I unlocked the slug cruiser last night in faster than light

and I beat the first form of the boss, but good lord that second form owned me something fierce

James

We are starting to hunt down the high end equipment (I have a Gillhie suit, we have 3 ALICE backpacks and one coyote, Everyone has a rifle of some kind and 2 cross bows in the group so far)

@agent86 Does he still seem to scale up much higher than the rest of the game is set at?

... 2 ALICE backpacks.

Not a one GPS and we only have 1 morphine injector at the moment though... But that is actually a high for us :D

tiddy

@James I've been following RockPaperShotgun's Day-Z coverage. Interesting reading

agent86

@James yeah, even on easy, the second form was something like 20 drones at once. I got demolished pretty quickly.

my weapons were pretty much useless

James

@agent86 Oi, ya really need that first shot capability I guess to missile it

@tiddy I love and hate the game.

agent86

4:15 PM

@James yeah, I had maxed out cloak and a 2-shot missile launcher and still got pwnd

tiddy

@James That seems to be a general consensus

James

@agent86 Oh I saw one of those.. shoots two missiles for each 'missile' used :)

tiddy

People love surviving and killing and hate dying

Who knew ;)

Wipqozn

@James Nifty. When I start playing DAyZ again I'll need to join you guys if you are still playing.

James

@tiddy Haha, Its not that.. Its that the survival aspect of it is pretty much forced to the outside edge.

tiddy

4:16 PM

Recent patch?

QAdp

have you seen today's XKCD?

James

There are plenty of small towns that it just feels wrong not trying to fortify them and set up barricades, get patrols going, etc. There is no way to stop zombies from magically appearing so its.. Frustrating..

agent86

@James yeah, it's pretty overpowered, and still not enough :(

James

@Wipqozn Haha, We have 2 people who shoot on sight, just for warning.. Tortoise or no :D

@tiddy Yeah will be nice when the lighting is fixed and zombies cant break your bones by looking at you (And it used to be much worse apparently)

The lack of basic melee combat though does seem out of place, you have no choice against a zombie except to try and lose it.. I have had one follow me for over 12km

Oh, and making it so zombies cant 1) See you through a wall and B) 'shoot' you through it!

@agent86 Well I guess this is why we are betaing it for them :D

user15026

I really wish that there was something new and awesome for the 3DS that I could play. :(

tiddy

4:21 PM

Anything old and awesome?

Wipqozn

@James The new patch is reducing sound through walls by 50% apparantly.

That's one of the bugs that made me stop playing for a bit.

IT's just annoying to shoot a zombie with a makorov in a building only to attract every single zombie in the city

Not to mention breaks te realism

user15026

@tiddy Not that I haven't played to death. I suspect if I had people to race against (or that it didn't take FOREVER to connect to the network) I would play more MK7 but I get bored of all the waiting

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn Yeah, the 3DS has a serious lack of games.

user15026

@Wipqozn Yeah. I know a bunch of good things are coming out in holiday, but ARGH that is a while away. I am not super excited for KH3D at the moment because I need to finish KH1 and 2 before I will feel happy playing it.

James

@Wipqozn We actually have pretty good luck shooting the priests in the churches with out too much problem :)

We have Really Crappy luck though with things just wandering to the building we snuck into and then coming to investigate us.. The crossbows do help with this significantly.

agent86

4:27 PM

I've been considering a 3DS, but I've still got DS games I haven't finished (prof. layton, for one)

Wipqozn

yeah, crossbows are so useful except that they are useless against large numbers of zombies.

James

@agent86 Its 90% hype unfortunately

Wipqozn

@James What is, the 3DS, or layton?

user15026

@agent86 I have to finish Prof Layton and Golden Sun Dark Dawn but I have kinda burned out on both.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn You could play some Harvest Moon.

James

4:29 PM

@Wipqozn Hehe, the point is that they wont attract the large number.. We snuck into a Very hard place to get to and it was a crossbow shot that saved us from a walker letting us get into a church and nabbing our second ALICE pack.

agent86

@AshleyNunn I think I've also got a "tales" game - tales of vesperia perhaps? that I still haven't finished either.

James

@Wipqozn The 3DS, no idea what a Layton is.

Loved Tales of Vesperia

Wipqozn

@James Yeah, I know, but for those situations you just happen to stumble into a group... not the best weapon to have.

agent86

I've found that in my old age I have very little interest in JRPG game plots

user15026

@Wipqozn I like the idea of playing HM, but that will only entertain me for like ten minutes before I want to throw a thing because it is so repetitive

Q: How many friendly fire kills before you're kicked?

In hardcore team deathmatch, I've noticed other players being kicked for persistent team killing. Is the threshold an absolute number or a ratio? I've noticed that people with 4:0 get kicked straight out. Also, do collateral damage kills, eg kills with a claymore which also kill one of your own?

agent86

I think I got burned out somewhere along the way, and I can't stand all the convulsions they go through.

user15026

@James What do you mean by 90% hype?

James

@Wipqozn Oh, nono. Yeah. We only even pull the cross bows out of our bags if we are going to try to infiltrate. Otherwise its AK's and Lee EnFields :D

@AshleyNunn If you have a DS there is no real reason to get a 3DS

Wipqozn

@agent86 Yeah, same here. I find most of them are just waaay too long, and should have been half the length that they were.

agent86

@Wipqozn like right now I could go start up that tales game again, but I'd be completely lost as to the plot/characters/etc

user15026

4:32 PM

@James I don't think that is entirely true - there aren't many games out right now, sure, but there are a few solid ones that you can't get for the DS (Super Mario 3D Land, for one)

agent86

who is that guy? who is that shadowy dude? who is friends with what now? what organization is this? where am I?

user15026

@Wipqozn This is my problem as well - I tend to get bored and distracted and then I can't just hop back and know what is going on. So I don't ever finish.

James

@AshleyNunn I did say 90% :)

Wipqozn

Speaking of which, I really wish they didn't push back the NA release of Animal Crossing 3DS.

user15026

@Wipqozn Yeah, I am with you on that one.

Wipqozn

4:36 PM

There are quite a few nice games coming out for the 3DS though.

agent86

I'm also tempted by an android phone, which I imagine would have many games, or an iPod touch which would also open many game doors

just afraid I'd not have time for it at this point

QAdp

Wipqozn

Layton, New Super Mario Bros 2, Paper Mario, Monster Hunter Tri G + 4, Luigi's Mansion...

Yi Jiang

@QAdp This one at least works. The one at Engadget keeps failing for me

Jason Berkan

@agent86 My Touch / iPhone is all I have time for, due to the fact that many of the games allow you to play 5 minutes at a time.

user15026

4:39 PM

@agent86 It depends what sort of games you are looking for - the big name mobile stuff usually comes out for iOS first (the exception being Kairosoft stuff, really, and the Kongregate Arcade) so if you don't want to wait, iOS might be best, but Android does have a lot of awesome games. I had an iPhone and I loved it and played A LOT of things on it, and I do the same on my Droid, but there is a large difference in what is offered.

Wipqozn

@agent86 I'm tempted to get an android just to mess around with it (programming wise), but then I remember I could never justify the cost of the android.

agent86

@AshleyNunn bleh, this was kind of what I was afraid of.

Yi Jiang

agent86

@AshleyNunn well, I'm holding you personally responsible for these developers and their iOS tendencies.

user15026

This is why I kept my iPhone - I use it now as, essentially, as an iTouch

user15026

@agent86 I can understand why you might feel that way.

Wipqozn

4:41 PM

That reminds me

Good luck in your running for pro-tem mod over at libraries @AshleyNunn

Yi Jiang

Oh, Jelly Beans is 4.1

user15026

@Wipqozn Aww, thank you. :D The idea of modding makes me ten kinds of crazy nervous, but I <3 Libraries SO SO MUCH so I figured I would throw my name in and see what happens.

user15026

@YiJiang ?

Yi Jiang

I was sort of expecting it to be a major version number

Anyway, if this comes out by the end of the year, it'll be at least mid 2013 before any handset you buy now will get the upgrade

> The Source Filmmaker (SFM) is the movie-making tool built and used by us here at Valve to make movies inside the Source game engine. Because the SFM uses the same assets as the game, anything that exists in the game can be used in the movie, and vice versa. By utilizing the hardware rendering power of a modern gaming PC, the SFM allows storytellers to work in a what-you-see-is-what-you-get environment so they can iterate in the context of what it will feel like for the final audience.

@tiddy yeah, I don't think I got all the way through them. the combat got a bit repetitive.

Grace Note

Doesn't stop me from telling him to buy it, though

agent86

I liked the writing and the characters, though.

QAdp

@agent86 I'll be happier when you'll have shared your thoughts

agent86

@QAdp well, might be a while. this is the part of the year where I store up games for the fall, much like a squirrel does with various pine and tree nuts prior to hibernation.

in this case though, my nuts are games.

You're nuts.

@spugsley he wants a monkey. preferably a space monkey. this is an early christmas list item.

@agent86 is the trombone optional or necessary?

Doomsday pits BLU against RED, with only one team getting the honor of transporting a suitcase nuke full of recalled Mann Co. Australium to American monkeynaut Poopy Joe’s rocket, so he can blast off and hunt down Soviet space chimp Vladimir Bananas. It's the same spirit of competitive enterprise that stalled the moon landing by three years when Buzz Aldrin suplexed Neil Armstrong into a pile of folding chairs at Astromania '69! Both teams will attempt to get the necessary fuel up a preposterously slow-moving elevator and into Poopy Joe’s Australium-powered rocket to the stars.

@BoltClock Certainly it'll be tough to be on the same match between Singapore and Italy :)

BoltClock

@QAdp Yeah :/

Like, can it get any farther? I'm not too good at this geography thing

Why aren't you guys using the hi-res logo? The pixelated mini logo isn't going to look any better in low quality JPEG

Q: Diablo III affix range list?

So, I thought this would (should) be easy to find, but I've had little luck thus far. I am looking for a list of affix (stat) ranges for arbitrary iLvl gear. Of course you can go here to find a list of all base gear, but no mention of affix (or base dps) ranges can be found. It would be handy t...
