Q: What are the differences between the War Mage and the Sorceress?

From what I've noticed so far, there seems to be a few differences between the two playable characters in Orcs Must Die! 2. So far I've noticed that the War Mage has more health, while the Sorceress has more mana, and they both start with different weapons and traps. Do either of them have excl...

Q: What is the quickest and most reliable way to deal with kobolds?

Kobolds are a major problem in my trap setups. Not because they aren't killed by most traps, and not because they can make it to the rift very easily without player intervention, but because they set off all of my traps without actually being effected by them. This causes a problem where a kobol...

I don't think I've been this excited for a game in ages.

Scumbag Guild Wars 2. Not being out yet.

Rilgon Arcsinh

@Wipqozn I feel like a bad gamer, because I have like less-than-zero interest in it. :(

Wipqozn

@RilgonArcsinh It also makes you a bad person.

Rilgon Arcsinh

@Wipqozn Well we all knew that, ask @LessPop_MoreFizz.

LessPop_MoreFizz

12:09 PM

Never cared about GW1. Don't care about GW2.

Rilgon Arcsinh

Now if we want to talk excited, I could wax poetic about Rift: Storm Legion or Torchlight 2...

Wipqozn

@RilgonArcsinh Rift is releasing an expansion?

Rilgon Arcsinh

@Wipqozn Yup! I believe expected late 2012, or possibly maybe early 2013.

Ronan Forman

Maybe I shouldn't be playing DayZ in surround sound, it's making my more scared.

LessPop_MoreFizz

TBQH, next thing I will probably be excited about, barring another surprise like TSW, is the South Park RPG, because Obsidian.

Rilgon Arcsinh

12:12 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz It still gives me pause that you can legitimately say "Obsidian" and "South Park RPG" in the same thought now.

Ronan Forman

And I really don't need help being scared.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RilgonArcsinh And it is exactly because of that that I am interested.

Rilgon Arcsinh

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh don't get me wrong, I have a healthy degree of bemused curiosity as well, just stating the sheer head-tilt factor of the fact.

Wipqozn

@RilgonArcsinh Nifty. I bought Rift at launch, but I only played it for a month or so.

Martin Sojka

@Wipqozn Wait until you get Alzheimer's, and you'll feel like it every week!

Koviko

12:17 PM

@RilgonArcsinh Wait, South Park RPG?

I just woke up, and what is this?

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz GW2 is drastically different than GW1. So it's worth looking into if you want a new MMO.

Although I assume you're quite busy with TSW right now.

Ronan Forman

I just realised, if I don't get an answer to this I can't record.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Koviko Yes. being developed by Obsidian of all places.

You know, the people that write super dialog heavy games like NWN2, Fallout:New Vegas, and Alpha Protocol

Koviko

@LessPop_MoreFizz I knew that sounded familiar. That sounds amazing, then.

I liked NWN very much

Though I nvr played Fallout

I heard it was good.

LessPop_MoreFizz

> It was also revealed that the Xbox 360 version would feature Kinect integration, allowing the user to use voice control including the ability to berate Cartman.

Goddamnit, I knew somebody at some point would come up with a reason for me to want to get Kinect.

Rilgon Arcsinh

12:22 PM

@Wipqozn Too bad you missed the Return to Telara weekend last weekend, could've come and checked out a year's worth of awesome changes :P

@Koviko I'd ask @LessPop_MoreFizz first, I've only heard that it is, in fact, A Thing.

LessPop_MoreFizz

he wizard is Cartman. He asks for your name. You type it in.
"You entered 'Douchebag,'" Cartman says. "Correct?"
No matter what you say your name is, Cartman will call you Douchebag. This is the perfect way to bypass an annoying game design problem—voice acting player-entered names. Imagine if Final Fantasy X characters all just called Tidus "Douchebag." Instantly better game.

Rilgon Arcsinh

oh wait, he already answered, dumb work interrupting my chat time

Koviko

@LessPop_MoreFizz Haha. This sounds amazing already.

And if won't look crappy

This could be great.

Ooh. I have a starred comment. I knew this day would come!

Victory!

Rilgon Arcsinh

@Koviko I don't know if Obsidian knows how to make non-great games

Koviko

@RilgonArcsinh Let's hope.

Rilgon Arcsinh

12:24 PM

(bracing for anti-KOTOR2 comments in 3...)

Koviko

There was a KOTOR2?

I never beat the first one.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@rilgon though it's true they know how to make deeply flawed great games. :(

Oh for what KOTOR 2 could've been.

Mad Scientist

Well, the first 50% of KotoR 2 were great, the last 50% didn't exist

Rilgon Arcsinh

@LessPop_MoreFizz I would assign blame for that more on rushed development schedules more than an intrinsic quality of Obsidian. (To wit, looking at you KOTOR2)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@rilgon I'd've agreed until alpha protocol.

Which is a great game, but has very evident flaws.

And went gold like 8 months before release.

Rilgon Arcsinh

12:26 PM

Fair, I'll concede that, at the least.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Some would argue f:NV as well, though I mostly blame Gamebryo there.

Rilgon Arcsinh

I haven't had a single issue with F:NV, but I also haven't played it very long yet.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Mask of the Betrayer is still the best thing they ever did though.

Rilgon Arcsinh

Not that I could pass it up at the price point it was up for during the Steam sale.

Koviko

This is going to sound random, but did anyone else play Freelancer?

LessPop_MoreFizz

12:28 PM

Did you get the DLC?

Rilgon Arcsinh

Yeah, I bought the GotY edition since it was only 2.50 more.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Because Old World Blues is fucking MADE FOR YOU.

Rilgon Arcsinh

@Koviko Yeah, once I have all my necessary jobs mastered for Butz and Faris.

(objective complete: mandatory FFV reference)

Koviko

@RilgonArcsinh ... wot?

Rilgon Arcsinh

@Koviko Never mind, it was a really dumb joke to begin with :)

Rilgon Arcsinh

@LessPop_MoreFizz ...You do know saying something like that makes me want to play it instead of taking part of TSW free weekend, yes?

hello

LessPop_MoreFizz

@pixel Welcome back.

pixel

not really back - just here, momentarily - but thanks

LessPop_MoreFizz

@pixel Oh?

@pixel Also, finished 8/8 elites last night. Nightmare time is go, once I get home and kill Gatekeeper.

12:36 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz cool, haven't really played, still, should probably do that at some point but I got kinda bored of it

Q: Do villagers always sell first?

From the minecraft wiki, I can see that each villager begins with one trading offer which must be accepted before it can trade more offers. In my test world, every villager I've clicked on has offered to sell me things (as in, asking for emeralds in exchange for goods). They are capable of buying...

Q: Alternatives to the Blizzard Downloader as a means of downloading Starcraft 2?

Last time I tried installing the game using the download client it had uploaded more data than the one I received and took so much time to finish. Is there an (official) way of downloading Starcraft2 directly, or a sanctioned torrent instead of using their download client? or any alternative ...
