Sledgehammering those skeleton horse things is fun.
@fbueckert ?
@Fluttershy Serious Sam 3
I just remembered that you can sprint in Super Meat Boy
Does anybody know how to get this bandage in Super Meat Boy?
I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that the lasers periodically turn off.
Got it, anyway.
05:22
lol
@Fluttershy What?
@GnomeSlicE I sent you a message and it popped up in your stream. =P
I didn't even notice hah
Woohoo.
I'm amazing at this.
@Fluttershy Is it actually working?
05:39
@GnomeSlicE Yep
There's a 5-ish second delay though.
@Fluttershy How can you tell? But yes, that's normal.
It isn't going to be exactly at the same time as me.
@Fluttershy Are you familiar with Just Cause 2?
@GnomeSlicE Yeah
@GnomeSlicE Do you need any special software to stream like that?
@Fluttershy Yes. I'm using Adobe Flash Media Encoder which is free
@GnomeSlicE Gotcha.
And it doesn't read fullscreen games...
And my stream looks like shit
05:45
Alright, I'm going to bed before this Frozen Synapse soundtrack issue pisses me off further...
@Shinrai @pixel @LessPopMoreFizz You guys Like the illuminati??? :D
@James YES.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ill take Dragon Herpes over insane alchemist :D
@Fluttershy Can you actually tell what's going on?
05:48
@GnomeSlicE You wrecked a motorcycle a little bit ago. I closed it though. Heading to bed.
@LessPopMoreFizz I have done Blade and Blood, any other weapons you suggest giving a whirl?
@James AR's are fun.
Elemental and FIst are both popular as well
Was thinking elemental and pistols, going to give the AR a go though. Pistols are fairly short ranged
I hate how if you increase the size of the hud it scales the damage values off your screen

I feel like I'm missing context
@Lazers Updated the title
> Did Portal on Xbox 360 receive the updated ending?
@Sterno rejects
@Sterno that looks like somebody copied citation notes off wikipedia or something
@pixel He also updated the tag wiki excerpt to add the footnoes
Apparently he strongly disagreed with the existing excerpt :P
10:13
apparently
tag wiki editing looks like something I can do today that doesn't involve wading through league of legends questions
Fuck the police (warning: contains the phrase fuck the police in BIG CAPITAL LETTERS)
@Wipqozn seen before, thought it was funny the first time
you guys just love closing questions!

@pixel Closing questions is the best part of my day.
10:18
I thought it was quite interesting that all presidents were related in some way
even to european royalty in many cases
@Sterno +1
and it is a bit of a conspiracy in itself how the situation ended up like that, but his question was badly worded :P
both questions were asked by the same guy who did the proposal, guess that failed then!

Q: Is it possible to change from a member of the Dawnguard, to a Vampire Lord or vice versa (permanently)?

user29304To whom it may concern (ie. anyone kind enough to either directly answer the question that be, or re-direct me), I, activated the Dawnguard DLC approximately three days after it's release/inception, in late June, and commenced actively playing yesterday: July fifteenth, though I had already spok...

Hmmm, didn't realize I was rolling back a rollback
@YiJiang You should leave a comment explaining your edit.
Yeah, but I thought the question was new
10:22
@YiJiang TUT rollback war!
Wasn't DLC on the burn list
*yawn* Yeah, though it still is used as a catchall for DLCs that are too small to have their own tag
I will work on that today then
What is this game?

Q: What happens if I kill the shepherd's sheep?

UQAllullooI just got a sword, and the shepherd made sure to tell me not to harm his sheep, and put up a helpful sign to remind me. This sheep has done nothing against me, yet all the pushing against it makes me tempted to attack this sheep. Is there a reason to kill or not kill this sheep.

That is the game
DLC Quest is the name
the game is called dlc quest?
Hehehe
10:24
ok
it's one of the tags the other question was using
> Winner of Official Xbox Magazine's Xbox LIVE Indie Game of the Year 2011!
ta, will create a tag wiki for it to save confusion
Not sure if terrible editor, or low standards
what, a game mocking dlcs
sounds like an original and interesting idea
It looks like the sort of thing that's perfect for a Flash game, like Upgrade Complete or Achievement Unlocked
As a full fledged game which you have to pay for? I don't know why anybody would want to buy that
10:29
@YiJiang the ultimate mock on the very concept its mocking
Hmmm, a free copy of Frozen Synapse to give away. How nice.
I love the top comment on this video:
> I'm unsure as whether to upvote this for Bill's response, or downvote it for that woman's stupidity.
I am guessing that great minds think alike!
ok is under misc on the clean-up thread

Q: Does anyone know where to find a list of preorder only dlc?

user1207381Lately, I noticed their is a lot of pre-order only DLC that is never available on the standard DLC marketplace for most consoles. Is their a way to determine on the actual console [Xbox, PS3, Wii, etc...] whether a game has this type of DLC and what it is?

What would you tag that as, if you weren't using 'DLC'
@pixel The question is 2 years old.
The site policies were a lot different back then.
@Wipqozn happens
in fact, looks like a minefield, some of it is really clear cut and some of it just isn't

Q: Why do open-world games seem to spawn vehicles based on what the character is driving?

mattalexgThere are numerous open-world games that all seem to exhibit similar vehicle spawn behavior: namely, whatever vehicle your character is driving noticeably influences the types of vehicles that spawn dynamically around you. I recall experiencing this phenomenon myself in the GTA series, Crackdown...

user30
so uh, what's with the Arqade Community group on Steam? what was wrong with the old group?
11:41
@ThomasMcDonald They can't change the name, I think, so they made a new one
@ThomasMcDonald Think of it as a vintage hat.
@YiJiang Yes, that.
user30
@badp Not blue enough for vintage.
@ThomasMcDonald Isn't the logo our old blue heart?
Should I just retag that question using the game names involved?
user30
@badp uh, yeah.
11:43
@ThomasMcDonald Well that's blue.
I'm feeling very incompetent at the moment...
Does anyone know how to save your game in Civ 5?
esc -> save game
might be labelled quick save, I can't open the game atm
it's on the escape menu though
@pixel I thought that would be it, but I don't see any option there.
strange
I only see "options", "exit to main menu", "exit to windows", and "return".
11:47
"To save a game, go to the Main Screen and get rid of any popups that might be waiting for a response. Click on the “Menu” button on the Main Screen and then on “Save Game” to create a new saved game file."
There should be a menu button on the top right hand corner
But I think that's the same menu as the esc one
@RedRiderX I'm sure there are more than four options on that menu but weird
@pixel Yes, I found that too, but there is NO SAVE BUTTON!
Let me get a screen grab...
That was copied from civpedia
Try finishing everything so you get to the next turn button, then try? I really don't know
11:49
I have never had a problem saving civ5
Neither have I. Also, the game definitely has auto-save
@YiJiang I did that too, this is so weird...
Are you playing some sort of mod? This is not multiplayer, right?

@Kappei I think I have, I think I have
Keep in mind 1.4.5 has no top secret rooms
I forgot how much I hate the people who work here
also, goodbye epic fetus, I'll miss you T_T
@badp yeah I know
I think it's better not to worry too much about secret rooms until McMillen doesn't fix the game with a new update
but secret rooms make or break games!

Q: Should there be a sequel to Alpha Centauri (SMAC)?

warsongOne viewpoint is that the game is perfect as it is and any sequel would only be a poor replica of the original, especially since the game is now in the ownership of EA. The other is that recently there is a lack of 'deep' games like Alpha Centauri and that an up-to-date remake would be a good th...

I think that was the first one to have drastically different charact...

@YiJiang Nope single player. Now I feel dumb that I'm having trouble getting a screenshot.
my last run could've been nails + battery or nails + epic fetus or nail + nothing just by changing that one secret room.
I dunno what the drop table for hidden rooms is but...

Behold:
End of turn, and no save button.
So, I made a typo when searching and turned up this:
I guess I should mention I'm using the tutorial, but I doubt that would prevent me from saving.
The Voynich manuscript, described as "the world's most mysterious manuscript", is a work which dates to the early 15th century, possibly from northern Italy. It is named after the book dealer Wilfrid Voynich, who purchased it in 1912. Some pages are missing, but the current version comprises about 240 vellum pages, most with illustrations. Much of the manuscript resembles herbal manuscripts of the time period, seeming to present illustrations and information about plants and their possible uses for medical purposes. However, most of the plants do not match known species, and the manuscri...
@RedRiderX The option you are looking for is in that big empty space where options usually are
@pixel Unfortunately it's big and empty.
12:12
I saw that from the screenshot
This is... frustrating, to say the least...
Could it possibly have something to do with the tutorial?
I have no idea, I don't play tutorials, read FAQs, demo mode, etc
No... flipping... way...
I just started a normal game and all the save options are present.
That's. Mean.

Q: When should I go Frozen Mallet or Trinity Force on Riven?

Stephen CrowderRecently I've been getting Trinity Force on Riven. Should I get a Frozen Mallet instead, or stay with the Tri-force?

Someone has flagged it as "Not Constructive", but I don't really know enough about LoL to make a call on this.
@Wipqozn can't help, same reason
Well, when I said someone I really meant @FAE. Since FAE is awesome.
FAE
FAE
What
@FAE You're awesome, and know all things (about LoL).
Missed my period.
In case you're wondering what the re-ping was for.
Also, 43 Days 19 Hours 18 Minutes 36 Seconds left until Guild Wars 2 launches.
I also really need to finish that countdown timer.
So that it actually counts down once the page is loaded.
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn The edit David Fullerton made so it asks about what situations you should use each item does make it a viable question, it's still just worded very poorly.
12:52
@FAE Okay, great, thanks. That's what I thought, but I really don't know enough about LoL to be certain.
There. Now I can get that out of my flag queue. They really need to add the ability to hide flags in the flag queue.
@Wipqozn would lead to the potential of missing flags, which is infinitely worse than them sitting in your queue annoying you
At least if they're annoying you, they may still get actioned just to get rid of them (exactly like what just happened)
@pixel If I have a bunch of flags I can't deal with clogging up my queue then it will just result in flags I can deal with getting lost in the clutter, and thus missing them.
As for your second point, taking action just to get rid of them is a terrible thing and shouldn't be done.
@Wipqozn while I agree with your reasoning why, surely you must see the inherent danger of everybody capable of seeing flags hiding the same flag
And always asking other users won't work if there are a lot of them.
@pixel IT's not a danger at all.
Of course it would be if the system allowed you to hide flags
12:58
The kind of people who take the time to look at and deal with the flag queue aren't going to just start dismissing flags for no reason.
@Wipqozn "its messing up my queue" is not a valid reason regardless
@pixel Did you miss my first point?
If I have flags that I can't deal with in my queue, all it does it add clutter which can can result in flags I can deal with.
@Wipqozn nope, I'm open minded enough to both see your first point and agree with it, whilst still saying the idea is bad in principle, rather than just dismissing all of it because I don't agree with what you're saying.
Further more, the number of flags in my queue are shown to me on my user bar. If there are flags in the queue I can't deal with, and are just sitting there, I can't trust that and I'm not able to know when there are new flags.
@pixel The problem is you're saying I'm making a point when I'm not.
2 mins ago, by pixel
@Wipqozn "its messing up my queue" is not a valid reason regardless
@Wipqozn maybe the better solution would be to have a system allowing you to 'mark them as read'
13:02
@pixel It's the same thing.
hiding isn't the same thing as marking as read - marking as read are still visible
THen that doesn't solve the problem at all.
The problem is that they clog up my queue, thus hiding flags I could deal with.
@Wipqozn I'm failing to understand how you think being able to essentially dismiss a flag with zero action taken is a good idea
@pixel BEcause of everything I just said.
@Wipqozn I read what you said, doesn't change the fact you wouldn't want a complaint you made to be dismissed without action because somebody couldn't answer it
13:04
It's better to take no action than take aciton when you don't know what you're doing.
Mindlessly clicking "invalid" or "agree" isn't how you deal with flags.
Now you're trying to belittle me, gg
you know what?
I'm not going to bother discussing this with you.
Whoring for rep by answering your own questions: ok if you wait a couple of days
Aren't questions that promote discussion out of scope?

Until, as I finished my last quest in the zone, I noticed a computer inside of a black van in the Orochi compound. It had two...

@Wipqozn "My name is scout, rainbows make me cry!"
13:21
@pixel Nope. Not in terms of tags anyway. As I said, you can be an expert in trainer (good tag), it's extremely unlikely anyone's an expert in cheats (bad tag).
if you're an expert with trainers you're likely an expert at cheating
maybe rename 'cheats' to 'cheating' ?
@pixel Trainers are a specific area of expertise - programs that modify the memory state of a running game. Cheats and Cheating cover a massive scope, and the mechanisms are likely to be different for different games (unlike trainers - essentially the same thing across games).
trainers doesn't cover questions about VAC, konami code, etc though
VAC could be retagged as steam quite easily, sure
Yes, but these don't need a tag to classify them
what would you tag the two-three questions we have regarding the konami code?
You want all tags removing?
13:28
Who wants to filter all questions about cheating across all games?
shrug, my post on meta isn't "I have emotional attachment to this, I will cry if its removed"
@pixel should be destroyed, added where appropriate. If you end up with an untagged question, it probably doesn't belong.
its "Here are situations, educate me on how you want them dealing with"
questions about the konami code are definitely within scope
I will untag it though and it can be sorted out at a later date
@pixel That falls under , which was burninated.
are you suggesting that question is off topic on arqade?

Q: How does Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) work?

JeffreyMany Source engine games are run on servers that are "VAC-Secured". How does the VAC really work? What is it looking for? If it finds something "bad", what does it do? Is there any way a user can appeal a VAC ban?

13:36
@pixel The third question is off-topic (Catalog of games), and the first two questions are arguably off-topic as well for the same reason that ITG is.
@pixel would make sense.
@Wipqozn @QAdley do you want to just delete the question then?
(the konami code one, that is now currently )
@pixel I canne, but @Wipqozn might be able to
badly worded, "do you think we should just delete the question then?" is probably a better way to word it
