@GnomeSlice I did both those
Did you turn the SAS on?
And you used the advanced SAS?
Ergh, this rocket looks very... penile.
@OrigamiRobot You got KSP too, huh?
@GnomeSlice I dont think I can get advanced
@OrigamiRobot You can.
It's slightly bigger.
It looks different than the regular SAS module.
@OrigamiRobot Which fins did you put on it?
Not all of them can act as controllers.
Idunno
How do I know if I am in orbit?
03:04
@OrigamiRobot Press 'm'
You should see a blue line showing your current trajectory
It took me a while too.
Try making a three stage rocket, or so.
It is 3 or 4
wtf I still can't do it very reliably, even with my current rockets...
@OrigamiRobot After about 2000m/s speed, you can throttle down to save fuel, or so @fbueckert tells me.
Bah... I keep running out of fuel...
I've only had one truly successful rocket design.
And I can't remember which one it was...
After a bit, it just starts tumbling...
03:11
@OrigamiRobot Is it unbalanced?
hell if i know
Did you use the symmetry thing in the builder mode?
There's a button in the top left to control symmetry.
it does nothing
seemingly
ah, i see
@OrigamiRobot Turn it on then try to place something
Yeah.
@fbueckert CHALLENGE MUTILATED
Seeing as how I'm going away for two weeks, I don't need another one right away.
@OrigamiRob What does your rocket look like?
03:17
Oh, okay.
That's the best kind.
wait...I think I'm doing this backwards
@OrigamiRobot Backwards?
I am using liquid fuel as my first stage and solid afterwards
@OrigamiRobot You CAN do that, but solids are more powerful. As you get higher, gravity decreases, plus your rocket sheds weight, so liquids become more useful.
Right, backwards
03:21
Yeah.
You can have a solid stage at the beginning, and one later on too, though.
@GnomeSlice Actually, you can start throttling down at 200m/s, not 2000.
@fbueckert You said 2000 to me last time.
@GnomeSlice Nope. Pretty sure I said 200.
derp, yeah you did
@fbueckert @OrigamiRobot needs some things to do.
@OrigamiRobot If you want challenges, I can provide.
03:25
No, no
@fbueckert Also, I mutilated your last challenge.
Don't give me another one till I get back, though.
I cant even make it halfway around the planet
@OrigamiRobot I did that too, lol.
@GnomeSlice Good. You'll like the next one.
You get a nice view, at least.
@fbueckert Munnnnnnnnnn
@fbueckert I need you to teach me how to make rockets that can get into an orbit and still have a lot of fuel left, when I get back.
03:28
How do you join a specific TF 2 server for MvM?
@fbueckert Magic. snort snort
Anyone actually playing on the MvM server?
It says it's running an older version, so I can't connect.

 In which the community elects GnomeSp

A terrifically important decision for Gaming.
Lol, I completely forgot about this room.
Good stuff.
Anyway, I'm out.
03:47
orbit achieved
I think
@OrigamiRobot Does your blue line go all the way around the planet?
Half of it looks green
Green usually means escape orbit; how fast are you going?
@OrigamiRobot And how high up are you?
03:50
375k
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I think that's far too fast for that height.
You need ~2200 around 100 km.
@Wipqozn
@OrigamiRobot What's your periapsis height?
03:52
@OrigamiRobot You'll hit the atmosphere and slow down tons.
I'd recommend increasing that.
I got no fuel
@OrigamiRobot But do you have a parachute?
Because you're going to need one.
There. 2.5 tanks left to spin me out to Mun.
Now my rocket breaks before I ever launch
03:59
@OrigamiRobot Check the mission log when you end flight; it'll tell you what went kaboom.
It just breaks when the game renders it
@OrigamiRobot Yeah; once the physics engine kicks in, if something is under too much stress, it'll break.
The mission log will tell you which connection it was.
I didnt change anything
@OrigamiRobot That's...strange.
Demo? It was happening to @GnomeSlice, too.
I have to go back tot he building every time
user2334
04:31
Needs dupe close votes. User reposted the question b/c he/she/it/unspecified didn't realize he/she/it/unspecified could edit posts
user2334
Or rather, thought reposting was what you're supposed to do when you "simplify" a question
user2334
Huh. With the exception of that question and one other, every unanswered Skyrim question is about a bug.
Drat; too efficient with fuel; I'm going to have to abandon quite a bit.
When should I start turning?
@OrigamiRobot When you first start out, ~75-100km up.
My current mission is two-fold: 1) Land on Mun properly. 2) Attempt to pick up stranded Kerbal from previous mission to Mun.
Landing successful!

Q: What are the gameplay differences between the three Roman factions?

FadewayRome: Total War features three playable Roman families, the Scipii, the Brutii, and the Julii. Unlike later games though, it doesn't explain the differences between them. One of them is obvious: Each faction has a different starting position, making it easier to focus on conquering a particular p...

Q: How do I manually reassign citizens to work on a different hexagon?

James JiaoIn Civ4, I can easily reassign citizens to benefit from a different tile. For example, from a forest tile to a mountain tile to increase production with the cost of decreasing food. I have not been able to find a way to do so in Civ5. Everything so far has been assigned automatically by the game....

Q: Is Rylai's slow affected if I use Tiamat as well?

AlokIf I'm using a single target spell (e.g. Annie's Disintegrate) with both Rylai's scepter and Tiamat equipped, does it cause the full 35% slow for ST abilities or 15% counting it as AoE?

@RonanForman Sorry man, did some reading last night in the end.

Q: Possible to play Minecraft with ocean water turned off?

SuunnnIs it possible to play Minecraft otherwise normally but remove all of the water spawns from ocean biomes?

Would it be wrong to edit the body and title of this question to apply to both conditions so that no matter what he was asking he gets an answer?

Q: Choosing a BattleTag, how is it used?

jdmTo play Diablo 3, you have to choose a BattleTag. Blizzard says the name will represent me in battle.net. I already have an account name for Starcraft 2, and I'm wondering if I should use the same name for the BattleTag. On the one hand, I'd would be nice to have the same name for all 'accounts'...

Q: Playing in multiple regions

AlokIf I switch regions in the launcher, every single time it has to patch some small amount of data (I assume its the localization differences). Is there some way to avoid this, short of having multiple program installs?

Q: Why aren't my guide and other dead NPCs respawning in Terraria?

JayI am currently in hard mode and during a blood moon, several of my NPCs including my guide and my healer died. it's been several in game "days" now and they have yet to respawn. Is there a way to check why they aren't respawning? Is there a list of reasons for the NPCs to not respawn?

So I downloaded a free game from the iTunes App Store yesterday... When I beat it, my prize was a free game on Steam. o_O Pretty cool.

@Fluttershy Eets?
@RonanForman Yep!

That is kinda awesome, @Fluttershy. Almost makes me want an iDevice again. Almost.

Q: Does Cut the Rope on iPad have Game Center at all?

Q: Why aren't my entry/exit signals working correctly?

lemontwistI like to use loops in my train systems to speed up loading and unloading, with multiple platforms at each station. Each loop feeds into the stations and at the end each train feeds back into that loop. I use entry/exit signals on the entrance and block signals on the entrance of each station. Th...

@AshleyNunn I have no complaints about mine... Other than I miss having a real qwerty keyboard.

I prefer my Android - it fits better in my hands :p i dont hate idevices, though. Would pick up an ipod touch at some point if it wasnt so expensive .
@Wipqozn I got the server working again.
@RonanForman Good, good.
I might jump on later today.
Although I'll probably be too busy.
16:08
Yay! Act of house repair is complete!
Probably.

Q: FAQ Section For Answers

desaivvI had some user's answer over here by a new member called ME3 fan. I asked them to go through the FAQ and posted my own comments on what was wrong with the answer. But I could not quote the relevant section on how we want our questions answered? I could not find one. Needless to say the answer g...

16:26
Soooo... ummm... Does anyone remember that vaguely creepy question we had a few days back asking for links to youtube videos of japanese girls watching horror games?
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes
Sadly
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, jeez.
Someone join the MvM server. I wanna play!
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Nope, but I was camping, and something makes me glad I missed out.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Needs one more delete vote
@LessPop_MoreFizz Now it has. tortoise shades
user15026
Nice work. :)
user15026
Oh man, the people who comment on Nintendo's Facebook page posts are always so awesomely stupid and ridiculous.
user15026
Someone was whining because they are posting about NSMB2 (for 3DS, clearly stated in the post and the image) and this person "wants more zelda and less mario for the wii because this new super mario bros wii game is going to suck"
16:37
@AshleyNunn Protip: That's everyone everywhere.
Seriously. People are stupid.

We need more people in the server.
@Wipqozn Wizard's First Rule!
user15026
@Wipqozn This is sadly truer than I would like
@Wipqozn Are you still too busy to play?
@RonanForman I'm working on a report.
So yes.
@RonanForman You Nanor, I take it?
16:40
Yeah.
What's the minimum number of people we need?
@fbueckert SPOILERS BRO WTF
@StrixVaria If you haven't read the book, you STILL don't know what it means.
@fbueckert Also, if he hasn't read the book, he still has several dozen valuable hours of his life that he can happily spend not reading it.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Boo.
Pretty decent series.
16:44
@fbueckert No. No it isn't.
Anyways, need moar players in MvM.
I've read the first 2. I don't know if I'll ever read more.
@fbueckert You should parse my sentence more carefully.
@StrixVaria Don't. REALLY REALLY REALLY DON'T.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Missed the not.
It only gets worse as he drowns himself in his attempt to jack off over ayn rand and turn it into Atlas Shrugged with swords and wizards and bondage oh my.
16:45
@LessPop_MoreFizz I certainly wouldn't spend any money on it because the author is an elitist master prick. But my GF already owns all of them, so at least he won't profit any more off them.
@StrixVaria You should set them on fire, lest anyone else read them.
"Mann Co. Ready to use Corpse grade quicklime."
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz What books?
@AshleyNunn The Sword of Truth.
@LessPop_MoreFizz You said something about being in my area for work this week. Whereabouts? O_o
@fbueckert Who all is playing?
user15026
16:53
@StrixVaria I tried to read those. They were boring as hell.
@Fluttershy So far, me and @RonanForman. @TrentHawkins is joining, too.
@fbueckert I might be up for a game if I can get it updated...
@Fluttershy Join away. So far, it's got a very tower defense vibe to it.
@Fluttershy No I didn't? I'm still in NY. Headed to Masser-choose-its next.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oooh! I was looking at the message from my phone. Didn't realize it was a reply to the Tesla museum thing. =P Disregard.
16:58
@Fluttershy Yeah. I'll be out in Shoreham next weekish.
@fbueckert I've got to go now, sorry.
@RonanForman Boo
We need another player, then.
Origami is joining.
@RonanForman That Ronan is a Spy!
@OrigamiRobot How so?
user15026
17:04
Hmm...I normally hate tie-in games, but I am so tempted by the Adventure Time 3DS game....
17:18
I'm thinking of getting a SSD for my computer, anyone got a recommendation?
This new TF2 game mode is confusing.
@Brant It's definitely got a very tower defense vibe to it.
It's crazy
I don't think it scales well to fewer players.
Yeah, we just got rolled.
(I was the medic)
17:23
Damn, Friday is still in my head from @pixel's trolling yesterday.
< completely innocent
@TrentHawkins It doesn't scale at all.
Murray Saul is the reason I can safely consider myself immune to Rebecca Black.
People say Get Down on Friday and I think of crazy dude huffing nitrous and yelling on the radio.
@RonanForman then there seems to be little point to plaing on anything but a full server. :/
17:31
@TrentHawkins You don't even get more money, which would be a really easy way of doing it.
@RonanForman Yeah; three people aren't enough, once you hit wave three, and the tank shows up.
FUCK THAT TANK
Sorry, guys.
Just not happening with just us three.
17:49
@fbueckert Who all do you have?
@Fluttershy Me, @OrigamiRobot, and @TrentHawkins.
Apparently a full team is six people.
@fbueckert Ah, so I would be of little help, then?
@Fluttershy We're joining matchmaking.
@Fluttershy NO YOU WOULD BE ALL THE HELP
If it'll take four people. We might be waiting a little.
17:50
Seriously, even if you just stand there
@OrigamiRobot Aww... Does that mean you wanna play with me? =3
@Fluttershy That....that....no. I'm going nowhere NEAR that.
@fbueckert Are you guys using any sort of voice chat?
@Fluttershy Nope.
@fbueckert Oh. Okay.
17:51
My mic's outa power.
TF2 has it built in, but it's not really necessary.
Cool. I didn't want it to interfere with my skype call. =D
@Fluttershy Just launch game. :P Invited you.
If a couple more people want to play MvM, we'd have a full team for the TF2 server.
Disconnected
GODAMMIT
18:07
so... did the server crash?
Because I was going to jump on and join you guys.
@Wipqozn The matchmaking server died.
If you want to join, that gives five.
@fbueckert I don't know what that means.
@Wipqozn Three didn't cut it, so we're trying the auto matchmaking service.
@fbueckert I do.
Do I just join the server...?
I haven't done anything with MvM yet.
@Wipqozn Yup
@Wipqozn MvM is just us against bots.
We try to keep the bomb from the end point.
@fbueckert I've been sitting on "retrieving server info" for awhile now.
@Wipqozn Add the arqade server to your favorites.

Q: How much health does the tank have?

OrigamiRobotOn the 3rd or so wave of the Mann vs Machine gamemode, a tank slowly rumbles towards you deliver it's own bomb. How much damage does it take to destroy this monstrosity?

and TF2 just crashed...
@fbueckert Yes, I'm well aware.
18:13
@Wipqozn Derp. :P Sorry.
I was at the loading screen for the server.
18:38
Dammit, fail once, and the server changes the level.
@RonanForman May want to up the timer on the server change.
@fbueckert I'm gonna take a break. I may be up for some more later though. Engineer seemed useful enough though.
@Ender Its currently $20 on Steam (with all its expansions), but if you wait for another sale, I was able to pick it up for $5.
@Fluttershy Four doesn't cut it, I don't think. ><
@fbueckert Alright. Well... My Skype call ended for the time being, so I'd be up for another if someone wants to invite me.

Q: What's the absolute fastest way to get a newly made monk to level 85 after Mists launches?

Use/abuse of XP bonuses from heirlooms, RAF, dual-boxing, etc. should all be considered fair-game he...

Q: How does the scoring work?

RobI cannot work out how the scoring works in game... Information is hard to come by, does anyone know what activities award points, and how much?

And...map change.
That was fun
Scout gets crazy good
Too bad I'm terrible with scout
@OrigamiRobot Heavy gets awesome upgrades.
I just run out of ammo SO fast.
I was getting so much health
If I can get an engie to drop a dispenser behind a wall, I can almost stand there all day and just keep shooting.
I gotta say, though, that was a ton of fun.
19:22
A good Pyro is required
I am horrible with airblasting
@Wipqozn made some good saves
I didn't realize I could change weapons until I played demoman. I forgot I had the pheralwhateverthefuck on my pyro, so when I loaded up with it I just assumed everyone had pre-defined load outs.
@OrigamiRobot Sticky bombs ftw
An engineer is really helpful too.
Everyone I got a kill/assist for pooped out a health bottle
We were doing a lot better when @Fluttershy had a sentry up.
I dont even know what new weapons have come out since I last played
@OrigamiRobot And the fact we can get new weaponry even in MvM is awesome.
19:28
@Wipqozn I can only play melee demo
@Lazers Everyone we just played with should upvote this
@Wipqozn are we doing or ?
both now exist
@OrigamiRobot I don't know. I think I'll make a meta.
Because I think mann-vs-machine is good enough, and I don't think people will think to search tf2-mann-vs-machine
@Wipqozn the latter would be more consistant with past expansion tags
@OrigamiRobot True.
typing "mann" suggests tf2-mann-vs-machine
What? Strange parts? When did that come about?
@OrigamiRobot In TF2...? Well over a year now.
19:40
Jeez it's been a while
Strange was released in the June 23, 2011 patch.
I know about strange items, I mean Strange Parts
Not sure what strange parts are.

Q: Are "Planeswalker" cards available in game?

EBongoDuring the campaign you'll sometimes see a short sort of 'cutscene' of a given planeswalker, followed up by a 3 page biography that presists until you press "Continue".

Q: Where is the Purple Tootfish?

EBongoThe "Can of Worms" achievement requires that you "Find the Purple Tootfish". There are a lot of different scenes in this game, and I've yet to find it or any sign of it.

Should I have pizza or not pizza for supper...
lol, that's a stupid question. Of course it should be pizza.
@Wipqozn Unless you have something better.
@OrigamiRobot If I did I'd have that, but I don't.
pizzas also gets points due to being a 1 minute drive from my house.
Oh you wanna drive to get pizza?
