Oh, is it a picture of a koala?
@GnomeSlice How'd you guess?!
@GnomeSlice It seems my sarcasm was lost on this one.
Oh. Yep.
Godammit, I missed one
user2334
Those koalas are doing the missionary position. Hm.
00:16
Huh. Winamp goes real quiet when I remove a USB device. That's an interesting bug.

Apparently, XKCD's alt-text has inspired change on Wikipedia.
25 revisions? Was there an edit war?
user2334
Apparently people wanted to keep it so the xkcd alt text was accurate.

Q: Which area of the Capital Wasteland has the most Deathclaws?

David WalzAs my experience level in Fallout 3 gets higher, I want to hunt a lot more deathclaws. Is there a part of the map that is just lousy with deathclaws?

user2334
> WTH, Kill another comma. Commas are speed bumps for the faint of heart.
@MarkTrapp That's alot of editing. Over a children's book.
> The comma dilemma
user2334
@fbueckert That's nothing. Check out Wikipedia's list of lamest edit wars
00:37
There's no page there, apparently.
user2334
Fixed it
user2334
Stupid Wikipedia URL scheme
user15026
@koviko the url shortener for that xkcd link is...interesting.
@AshleyNunn I was hoping someone would notice. :)
user2334
Especially since it's longer than the canonical URL: xkcd.com/1087
user15026
00:39
I most definitely did. Dont know what that says about me.
@MarkTrapp Real men lengthen their URLs. /flex

Q: Inferno Ponies Farming with monk

DavidCurrently trying to do inferno ponies with monk but getting melted fairly often. Is there any monks out there who can solo farm Ponies in Inferno? Can you share what stats you have? Stuff like - what your resist all; armour; hp; dps; loh; etc... I'm guessing you're using shield instead of dw?

00:58
@Lazers Link to Inferno Monk builds?
01:14
@Jin I saw it on facebook and thought that I commented 10th. After my (long) comment was done, 200 comments popped up.
I was almost cool.
@MarkTrapp I'm still on this page... SE pales in comparison to these guys.

@Koviko Next time, maybe?
Can I not bold in chat?
... I can.
Victory!

i just learned about d3 profile thing
@Jin When did that go live?
That makes me want to play again.
Jin
Jin
last week?
i haven't been keeping up with d3 since i quit a while back
01:20
I hit level 60 and then all of my friends quit.
Likely because we tried to step foot in Inferno.
Profiles were only released earlier this week.

Hi, @Jin!
Reminds me, I need to get off my arse and finish that.

01:22
@RavenDreamer howdy. you coming to my party?
@Jin Maybe! When/where?
Jin
Jin
@RavenDreamer 18th, 4pm, my house. if you don't mind being around a bunch of lil kids...(and their parents)
Have you ever had specific needs that, whenever you try to Google, only brings you to your unanswered questions?
user2334
@Jin teehee
I went to John Coltrane's house today.
It's the house where he wrote A Love Supreme!
user15026
01:28
@LessPop_MoreFizz Am I going to have to feel really bad for admitting I have no idea who that is?
user15026
@Koviko yep.
@AshleyNunn Yes you are. he's basically the greatest jazz musician of the 20th century. Like, there are two other names you could stack up against him, and their first names are thelonius and miles.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz ah, see, jazz is never a thing I really learned much about.
Jin
Jin
i want to blog about Arqade
but i'll wait until I get my Arqade swag for a nice photo insert for the blog post
@AshleyNunn Listen to this.
And be blown the fuck away.
Jin
Jin
01:31
what music service/app/site do you guys use for.. music?
i use grooveshark
Man.. I really need to get a Dreamcast again...
@Jin I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.
Jin
Jin
@LessPop_MoreFizz you use napster+winamp don't you? kicking it like it's 1999
@Jin Fuck that, private FTP server, kick it like it's 1996.
Along with physical CD's, ITMS, and a whole lot of legit promos.
Jin
Jin
@LessPop_MoreFizz i download my .wavs from a local bbs, and play it in Sound Recorder
01:34
@Jin See, you think I'm joking.
Jin
Jin
oh you weren't kidding?
But I'm serious. I could tell you more, but I'd have to kill you.
Jin
Jin
well then. carry on.
i never owned many CDs. it's because I don't really have a favorite band/singer
i hated buying CDs because there'd be only like 2-3 good tracks on a CD, the rest are just filler
@Jin That's hardly a reason not to own much music. not having a favorite just means there's more things to like.
@Jin See, this is only true if you listen to bad music.
Jin
Jin
well, even with the singers i do like, I don't always like all the tracks on an album.
01:37
Oh man, the section of A Love Supreme when the chanting first comes in at ~6:00-ish.
chills man, fucking chills.
@Jin You like bad singers.
Jin
Jin
@LessPop_MoreFizz hmm let's see who i like...
user15026
I feel bad, but I just...jazz doesn't do it for me.
@AshleyNunn You might be broken in the soul if this album doesn't do it for you.
@Jin I don't mind. I may come by. You might need to remind me nextweek though
I'm not a big jazz fan by any measure.
01:40
@Jin I like this. =3
But when it's great, like this is? It's fucking magnificent.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Perhaps. I prefer something more like this
Jin
Jin
I only like one type of female vocal, like the ones I put in my blog post.
user15026
Which isn't jazz, but gives you an idea of what makes my brain ping.
Jin
Jin
but if I have to choose ONE piece of music to call my most favorite, it's probably this:
01:41
@Jin There's a typo on 8164.org/about - Creative Diretor
user15026
@Jin This is beautiful.
Jin
Jin
^ you have to listen to it with your eyes closed
@YiJiang what if my title is really "Creative Diretor?"
@AshleyNunn I will take a listen when I am done with A Love Supreme in 20 minutes.
@Jin Then Jeff will come to my house and smash my head open with a giant c
@Jin Spear girls?
Jin
Jin
01:43
@YiJiang haha.. i get that reference..
Oh, no, that was Grace Note
Jin
Jin
@RavenDreamer i'll email you the info for the party
One of your daughters birthdays, I assume?
user15026
@Jin For some reason, this is simultaneously making me cry, and giving me chills.
Jin
Jin
@RavenDreamer i have no daughters sir. i wish i did.
01:44
Hm. Why did I think you did, then? haha
Jin
Jin
@AshleyNunn i feel the same way.. it's like an emotional roller coaster
user15026
@Jin Yeah, that is a good way to describe it. Listening to it in the dark, in my otherwise quiet apartment.....yeah.
Jin
Jin
@AshleyNunn I bought his CD that has that track on it. it's simply amazing.
user15026
@Jin I can imagine. :) I am tempted to hunt it down, if it is anything like that.
Jin
Jin
Eyes on Me is my 2nd fav... I just can't help to picture the ending of FF8 in my head when I listen to it
user15026
01:52
@Jin I don't know the ending of FF8 (I haven't played much FF) but holy crap, that song.
Jin
Jin
@AshleyNunn FF8 is most my favorite RPG ever. the ending was so satisfying.
i'm not ashamed to admit it, its ending made me cry. like, big tear drops flowing down
user15026
@Jin For the longest time, I lacked any system that could play a lot of the FF games (minus the few Nintendo system releases)
Jin
Jin
I wish Square would remake FF8...
After the FFV prequel, fine.
@Jin I cried at the end of FF8, too. Mostly because I wasted 80+ hours of my life on a game I didn't really enjoy that much. x_x
01:56
I want my Galuf And Dorgann Being Bros game, damnit.
Jin
Jin
@Fluttershy ha what?? well to be fair, that game got pretty mixed reviews. people either liked it or hated it
I liked how much you could game the mechanics
Getting stuff like -agas and Meltdown and etc. on disk 1 owned
@Jin Personally, I felt the story was a tad too convoluted, and it was too easy to break the game with the junction system... But I did like a few of the characters.
Jin
Jin
@RilgonArcsinh yeah! i love games that let me totally tweak everything.. I loved the junction/draw system
@Fluttershy I didn't even like the characters. I felt like the entirety of my time spent playing FF8 was wasted.
FF8 was the game that made me stop caring about FF games.
01:58
@LessPop_MoreFizz Take two GBA FFVs and call me in the morning.
Jin
Jin
@Fluttershy it was the story that I loved about FF8. on the surface it seemed simple. but there are a lot subtle things in that game. there were 2 love stories.
I played 9 10 and 12 after picking them up out of the bargain bin, but the love was long gone.
@RilgonArcsinh I never really cared for FFV much either. I'm more of an FFIV guy.
FFIV DS was pretty great though.
Hmm. I'm thinking my suspicions about Mr. gatekeeper are correct.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I will allow this. (total Rydia fanboy over here)
Jin
Jin
squall/Rinoa the obvious one, then Squall's dad and Riona's mom(which didn't work out) etc
01:59
Read this, and see if you notice anything he yanked from the info here.
user15026
@fbueckert What am I comparing against?
@AshleyNunn @fbueckert this
Jin
Jin
here's my grooveshark playlist for the night: tinysong.com/p/3J6Kl in a techno mood...
@fbueckert I... don't follow.
02:03
@Fluttershy He's reformatted some of the data, but he's pulled some of the info for his Inferno post from those answers.
@fbueckert Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! I was looking at it the other way around. So... He's ripping our content for his own site?
@Fluttershy Indeed
For what looks to be monitization purposes.
And those stupid, stupid sales pages.
Because I did one last year, and it was The Most Fun I Had Related to Fantasy Sports Ever.
and I'm thinking I might want to do two leagues this year for double the schadenfreude fun.
@fbueckert I don't really know that we have much of an argument if the information isn't taken verbatim...
Like... Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Verbatim.
@Fluttershy There has to be something that can be done; I'm thinking just sitting back and letting him yank information to benefit himself is not part of the SE motto.
02:10
@fbueckert I honestly don't know. =\

Q: What should you do if other sites shamelessly copy content and the cc-wiki license is not adhered to?

AbelCopying content is one thing, but copying content without referring to or quoting the original is just plain rude and violates the cc-wiki license and the clearly laid out attribution rules of this and related sites. When someone or some site does this, what action should we undertake towards t...

So, basically, he needs to add attributation back to where he drew the info from.
Like he has for some of the bnet info, but you'll notice there's no credit given to Arqade members.
Or even Arqade itself.
> I could find no information regarding whether CC reduction is increased by level difference, but if it is then Normal monsters have CC reduction too. Again assuming it does, the Elites in Act 4 Inferno have the most resistances possible. If you have any information on this subject, please leave us a comment.
If that's not a reference to the fact we couldn't find any numbers for him, I don't know what is.
@fbueckert I don't even know who this guy is, other than his one question.
He's got a few others, and some are fine, but his last two seem to be used in his monitized blog posts.
@fbueckert Oh. Gotcha.
-1, they left out Crackdown.
Wow, it wasn't even in the honorable mentions...
Tony Hawk is not a sandbox.
It depends on the game, there are modes where you can just ride around and do whatever, sort of like in Amped3.
Which also should have been on the list.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz did you listen to the Zoe Keating I linked at all?
02:31

@GnomeSlice confession i wasn't really gonna try it on my wife or she'll leave me 'n take half of my bacon
@Jin You stink.
@AshleyNunn You might dig Erik Friedlander.
I was genuinely excited to see if it worked.

@GnomeSlice well, one time when she said "I love you" and I wasn't paying attention and said "Thank you" and nothing else. that made her rage

Heh.
How much of it did you listen to?
It changes at around 30 seconds in. But yeah, it's more of a relaxed piece than a dancing-to piece.

Q: At what league do players on team match tend stay for a game?

hydroparadiseFirst to note, I've been mainly focused on the 4v4 matches lately. A common problem I see at my level, top of silver or mid gold and below, is that people tend to drop at the beginning of the game. Within the first five seconds of the game, you see the dreaded Player has left the game! At...

@Lazers This seems like a pretty terrible question.
It doesn't seem answerable in any way except anecdotally, yes
Unless Blizzard has the info somewhere?
Seems unlikely though
@YiJiang I seriously doubt it.
@YiJiang I don't think it's a technological issue.
Anyway, it's raining so my internet is probably about to go kaput. Night all.
03:37
Yeah, that is basically unanswerable.
