@Wipqozn I don't think a single one of my professors has children.
00:21
> That's what's stupid. Making mistakes isn't dumb. Being a jerky dickhead is.
My friend has such a way with words.
@GnomeSlice Oh, I thought it was you.
No, I'm not witty enough.
00:39
Ended up taking the dogs for a walk after work
Back to book rating!
Maine is purdy.
user2334
You're purdy a hyuk hyuk yuk

@LessPop_MoreFizz That chair looks kinda creepy, man.
@FAE IT IS CREEPY
@FAE WHY IS THERE A MOOSE IN IT
I'm afraid to sit in the chair.
FAE
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz I was kinda wondering that too.
user2334
00:50
what chair WHAT CHAIR OH GOD WHAT CHAIR
@MarkTrapp The one in my hotel room here in Portland
No, seriously, what the hell. I feel like I ought to inspect this thing with a blacklight. http://t.co/A0jsdzDD
user2334
@LessPop_MoreFizz you mean Worst Portland
@FAE It has LEG MANACLES built in.
user2334
also, yes, don't sit in that. Someone definitely had sex in that
FAE
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ahaha, I totally missed that.
00:53
@MarkTrapp No shit sherlock.
user2334
KEEP DIGGING WATSON
@MarkTrapp Counterpoint: I am going to have to sleep in the bed, and someone almost certainly had sex in that as well.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That chair is weird and frightening
@AshleyNunn WHY IS THERE A CANCER MOOSE IN IT
user2334
@LessPop_MoreFizz As long as you don't use the cover, they at least wash the sheets in near-boiling water
user15026
00:54
@LessPop_MoreFizz BECAUSE WHY NOT EVERY CHAIR SHOULD HAVE ONE
user2334
Wait, does the moose have cancer, or does Lucy the Lobster who looks like a crab have it? My money is on Lucy, because that's one messed up lobster
user15026
@MarkTrapp I couldn't even tell that was a lobster. Thought the moose had a shirt on or something.
user2334
my only hint that it was a thing was when I squinted to read the card
user15026
@MarkTrapp I zoomed in when you mentioned it.
Here, have a moose closeup:
FAE
FAE
01:00
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...my Maine squeeze? Really?
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That is absolutely bizarre. Knowing someone thought that up baffles me.
@FAE haha, that's great. I love puns.
Also, I think it's the Lobster that has cancer because we are supposed to help them squeeze out cancer, and the moose is squeezing the lobster. QED.
user2334
SQUEEZE OUT CANCER THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS OH GOD GOODBYE MOOSE LOBSTER
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Acceptable logic.
01:03
@LessPop_MoreFizz So... hugs are a cure for cancer?
user15026
@Wipqozn hugs everyone
user2334
Someone call Sloan-Kettering
@Wipqozn I think it takes more than just hugs. There's a whole spectrum of 'squeezing' availiable here, to be fair.
01:09
@MarkTrapp Must... resist... urge... to revert....
Oh,I know! This will make everyone happy.
Go strike-out text!
user2334
@LessPop_MoreFizz I forgot about that scene. Thank you for reminding me. All right, we're both sorry.
@MarkTrapp so good
@MarkTrapp the animation on the second scene is fantastic.
user2334
01:26
@LessPop_MoreFizz I can recognize the talent and effort that surely must've went into doing it, but it seems like it needs double the frames
@Wipqozn lolololololo

@Wipqozn He was/will be a great solider.

@SaintWacko Hoooly crap, you've done 424 ratings already?
@FAE I told you I read a lot!
I've read about 450 books in the past two years
bit less than two years, actually
FAE
FAE
Nice! I need to take the time to read more. I've read very little in the past couple of years.
Been gaming too much. :P
user15026
@SaintWacko I like you. I realized I read about 250 books in a year
@FAE The same thing happened to me! I slowed way down on reading, then once I got a smartphone with a large screen I started reading again on it, and since I got my tablet I've been reading even more!
@AshleyNunn Well good. I like you too, fellow fast reader :)
user15026
@SaintWacko :D
user15026
02:17
I've never met anyone who reads on my level
user15026
of speed, I mean
To be honest, I don't think I ever have either
I bet you always tested high in reading comprehension, too
user15026
@SaintWacko Yep.
@AshleyNunn I could probably match you for speed, but not for time spent reading. :(
FAE
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz This.
user15026
02:19
@LessPop_MoreFizz LOL you should read more XD
@AshleyNunn I think I maxed the test in third grade :D
@AshleyNunn Stupid work.
I always got in trouble at school for reading during class
user15026
Last time someone informally tested me, I run about 6 pages a minute
user15026
@SaintWacko Oh man me too
user15026
02:19
@LessPop_MoreFizz Who needs work when you have books XD
Pretty sure I'm one of the few people to ever get sent to detention for reading
Also, my parents used to force me to watch TV back when I was in middle school.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Mine too "you need to see more of the world than just books"
My mother is a librarian, so she's perfectly fine with me reading
FAE
FAE
02:21
@SaintWacko Haha, you've read Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher too!
user15026
I remember that book!
@FAE Yep, long time ago. I had almost forgotten about it until I saw it while rating :) I've always loved dragons
For a while in middle school I read almost nothing but the Pern novels
FAE
FAE
@SaintWacko I own a copy now actually. One of my exes gave it to me as a gift once.
Actually, I need to go rate those
Rate all the books!
user15026
@SaintWacko I love Pern novels
02:24
@AshleyNunn I haven't read them in a while. I'll probably read through them again once I finish the Xanth novels
user15026
I just love the world building
Also, our tastes are 82% similar according to Goodreads
She spins an amazing world
@SaintWacko I missed the link.
@StrixVaria Just sent you a friend wossname
request
wossname?
02:26
also, Link
@StrixVaria I'm tired; the word slipped away for a moment
I don't see the friend request.
@StrixVaria There it is. I forgot there was a confirmation page
Man you've read a lot of stuff.
@StrixVaria Yeah, and that's just the stuff where I've read everything by that author, or in that series, or Goodreads found it while I was rating
I'll have to think about posting a link to my library in the Arqade group
It contains everything by Niven, Heinlein, Asimov, Dan Simmons, Terry Pratchett, and all the Dresden Files
Oh, and as of recently, the Xanth books too!
I really need to start reading more.
02:35
Oh, I forgot about McCaffrey's Freedom books!
Oh, man, I want to read those again
user15026
I just bought those.
Have you read them before?
02:53
Now where did everyone go?
FAE
FAE
@SaintWacko Getting ready for sleep!
Which I should do. G'night, Bridge.
@FAE Bah, sleep. G'night FAE
@FAE whoa, whoa, whoa
just, whoa
You do realize it's only, what, 4am?
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn 5am.
@FAE Ah, okay. That's a little closer to normal.
Suns coming up, time to sleep, eh?
02:57
@FAE o.0
FAE
FAE
I've been going to sleep at like 11am the past week and a half so, I just fixed this.
Wow, definitely good night then
@FAE Sweet dreams! <3
FAE
FAE
@Fluttershy Always try.
@Fluttershy You never bid me good bye with hearts...
02:58
It's 10pm here, and I'm about ready for sleep :P
@SaintWacko I used to go to bed around then, but lately it's been closer to 1am. I hate it.
@Wipqozn You're here every day. This was a special occasion.
I liked going to bed at 10 and getting up at 7, all ready for the day to start.
Yay. I is home.
@Fluttershy I'd like to think anytime I'm around is a special occasion.
02:59
@Wipqozn I get up at 6am, so I need sleep :)
@Wipqozn You'd like to be wrong.
@SaintWacko Hey, it's 10 pm here too! We're time zone buddies! =D
@Fluttershy Woohoo!
Is it 12am for anyone...? Because I'd like a time zone buddy too...
@MarkTrapp You around?
Or @Wipqozn... You might know....

Q: Merge request: city-state with civilization-5

FluttershyWe currently have six questions tagged with city-state These questions are all pertaining to civilization-5. I propose we either merge the two tags, or delete the city-state tag altogether.

What do I do with that now that it's been completed?
What do you mean?
03:10
@TimStone Well... Since it's been successfully merged... Do I delete the question? VTC as too localized? Self-answer and accept? What usually happens in this case?
@Fluttershy

A: Merge request: city-state with civilization-5

WipqoznOur local shark moderator has solved this problem. What an awesome guy.

now accept and up vote so community doesn't bump
In other words self answer and accept.
@Wipqozn Perfect. Thanks.
Normally the person merging would have, but raven must have forgot. or was busy. Or hates you.

Q: The Ship Dedicated Server - Sourcemod causing random crashes

mopquillFirst off, I'm not sure if this is the right place to be posting this, but, this is my first stackexchange question, so please go easy on me if I screw something up. I already posted a thread on forums.alliedmods.net early yesterday, but, I haven't gotten even a single post, so I figured I might...

user15026
@LessPopMoreFizz holy crap. That is badass.
@AshleyNunn Do you know how remarkable the season he's had with that injury is?
(If you don't suffice it to say that he is a frontrunner for the Cy Young Award, which is given to the best pitcher of the year, and he is doing so at the age of 38 while throwing a bizarreo mutant pitch that only he, and nobody else in the major leagues is able to throw.)

Q: What are these HUD symbols?

SeanI know the big white blocks are "health" that can regenerate if partially damaged, the RB is for restoring health blocks with herbs, and the bottom red is the ammo indicator, but what are those white bars in the middle?

The in-game descriptions are useless and there is no manual. The other partner matchmaking setting...

Q: Best areas to farm skill points in Resident Evil 6

SeanI want upgrades, and clearing every area for 100 point increments sees pointless. What are the most time-efficient areas for making bank? What chapters with what perks activated? How does difficulty affect drops? Is Mercenaries more effective than Campaign?

Q: What are the requirements for killing enemies with traps?

CyberSkullIn level 11 of Mark of the Ninja one of the challenges is to kill 5 enemies with traps. I killed more than 5 using environmental traps, but I saw no progress indicator nor did I get the challenge complete. Is it glitched or am I missing something here?

Q: How do I play as a zombie in Agent Hunt Mode?

hi
@fredley When reviewing automatic low quality flags make sure you look at the original revision of the post before disputing it. :)
@badp Ok. I though revisions cleared flags these days?
11:34
@fredley Apparently not :/
@badp My bad
No worries. I understand it must be frustrating to see a handled flag and no way to make it go away
I guess that the devs look at helpful/declined flags when reviewing the effectiveness of Community auto-flagging

Q: Unexplained frame rate decay

YetiSomething similar is happening to me. When I open the game (or any game on my PC) it will go to a high FPS (like 60+) but then i can watch the frame rate tick down slowly until it hovers around 10-13 FPS. It does this to EVERY game. but it isn't that my computer can't handle it (Borderlands 2 sug...

@OrigamiRobot @Wipqozn is clearly winning that one. Something must be amiss
I'm honestly surprised we were allowed animals on the space station. Especially fighting ones.
@RonanForman We're an equal-opportunity employer.
@badp They're getting paid? I'm not!
Cats, tortoises, maniacal robots, floating eyeballs, talking porkchops, puppets, talking marshal medals, non-existing mermaids
@RonanForman We get free oxygen
A valuable commodity in space.
12:09
@badp And pens.
yeah, and lazer firing opportunities.
@badp Everyone getting paid nothing is equal.

Q: Where is the entrance to Mogu'shan Vaults?

Morning, Bridge
@fredley I'm jealous. I just barely missed the last Arqade shirt thing
@SaintWacko Stick around, SE gives out shirts like your mother gives out ...cookies.
@fredley Well that's too bad. My mother has been on a health kick lately :P
@SaintWacko So she's giving away all the cookies she's not eating?
@fredley Hm, I suppose so
Actually, I'm not sure where I'd put more shirts
I have a ton of Woot shirts
@SaintWacko SE's on a t-shirt inventory reduction program that means it's giving them out for any reason whatsoever. I reckon if you email @BrettWhite or @Lauren right now they'd give you a shirt.
@SaintWacko On your body?
12:47
@fredley Just double checked; I already have one there
@SaintWacko :(
@fredley Yeah, my work frowns on coming in shirtless

Good morning, Bridge
@fbueckert Morning
user15026
@fbueckert morning. :)
FAE

@fbueckert Good afternoon!
How is everyone this fine day?
FAE
FAE
Mrrrgh.
13:22
@FAE I would expect that from someone who just got up, but it's the afternoon there! You're not allowed to be sleepy!
I just want to read all the books you guys are raving about so I can discuss them but reading takes so long.
@StrixVaria No, it doesn't.
FAE
FAE
@fbueckert Slept pretty crappily last nght. Woke up with a that frightened, slightly disturbed sense of "I just dreamt something rather unsettling and unpleasant but I can't remember what it was."
I just downloaded all of Anne and Todd McCaffrey's books, so I'll be reading them again as soon as I get them into my library
@FAE Eugh. I hate that.
13:24
@fbueckert Yes it does.
FAE
FAE
@fbueckert Yeah, it kind of colors the rest of your day with a veneer of ugh.
I hate getting messed up dreams, not scary, just, "Where the crap did THAT come from!?", and then losing it five minutes after waking up.
@StrixVaria I agree, I read slow too
@FAE smoke a joint
@StrixVaria I go through a book in about two or three days.
Less, if I'm really enjoying it.
@fbueckert I don't have time to read 8 hours a day.
13:25
@StrixVaria Neither do I.
Too many games to play.
Also, anyone have any idea about this?

Q: Man joins the military while drunk and goes on a near-lightspeed ship

SaintWackoI'm afraid the title isn't very good, as I had trouble condensing what I remember. The book starts with a man going out and getting drunk with a friend, and he wakes to find that he signed up for the military the night before and is expected to report for duty soon. He tries to get out of it but ...

I read about 50 pages/hour.
The current book I'm reading is 650+ pages, so that's 13 hours. So let me amend my statement.
I don't have time to read 4 hours a day.
I have difficulty calculating pages/hour, because most of my reading is on my phone or tablet, where page size is weird
I try and read every day but I'm stuck in the middle of Breaking Bad at the moment, which is occupying all of my content-consumption cycles.
@SaintWacko My estimation is based off reading the last 100 pages of Mistborn in 2 hours.
FAE
FAE
13:27
@SaintWacko Also differences in font size, hardback or pocket, etc. etc.
That's the longest I've read straight in quite a while, though.
@fredley I saw a couple episodes of that; didn't really care for it
@FAE Yeah, pages per hour isn't all that meaningful because it varies so much
@SaintWacko I'm hooked, approaching the end of Season 2, still feeling very fresh
@fredley I got hooked on Psych recently. And, of course, Castle started up again a couple weeks ago :D
@SaintWacko Not seen either of those
13:28
@SaintWacko I watched the first episode of Castle, realized it was episodic and had no overarcing plot, and then never watched it again.
@fredley Ah, they're so good
@StrixVaria It gets a long arc later, but that isn't really an improvement (I stopped watching it a while ago)
@StrixVaria Yeah, I don't really have a preference between episodic or not. Actually I think most of what I watch is episodic
@SaintWacko May try out once I'm through BB
@fredley Do you recognise this script? It's on the server:
13:30
Psych, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Torchwood, Eureka, Warehouse 13, Castle
#!/bin/sh
 BINDIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -fn "$0")")
 cd "$BINDIR"
 java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar
@RonanForman nee-ope
@RonanForman You guys have a craftbukkit server?
@SaintWacko We have a general server. It does have a bukkit server though.
@SaintWacko For UHC I'm assuming so
13:32
looks like that script just locates the bin directory for minecraft and cds to it before launching
@fredley Yeah, I need to check it's still working.
not sure exactly how it does that, though
@RonanForman I need to set up a craftbukkit server for Mine Mayhem at some point if we decide to play it. Need to disable creeper block damage.
@fredley Oh, not a persistent server, then. Darn, I'm trying to find a good, constant server
I'll have to ask @MarcoCeppi what it does, I'm assuming he put it there.
13:33
@SaintWacko mine.se?
@SaintWacko Oh, we have one of them, it's at mine.stackgaming.com
@RonanForman Whitelisted?
@SaintWacko Nope.
@SaintWacko Anyone can join.
Alright, I'll check it out
13:34
@RonanForman We need to do something to promote mine.SE, it's very quiet at the moment
@fredley Yeah, I don't know what though.
@RonanForman I was thinking of marking out some 64x64 areas and proposing a month-long building competition
@fredley Interesting...
error
That's a new one
13:35
@RonanForman Get some participants signed up on meta, then post the results back and have people vote a winner.
I'd need to talk to @ThomasMacdonald though, there are some mis-configured plugins that are really annoying at the moment
Is it a verified server?
We'd also need to set up exclusion zones to prevent cheating.
@SaintWacko ?
@fredley You have to be logged in to play on it?
@SaintWacko ...yes
@fredley Alright, I'll have to check it out at home, then. Looks like the filter here is messing something up
13:38
@fredley Where are the startup scripts located?
@RonanForman No idea
@RonanForman For craftbukkit just run as is, don't install as a service
@fredley Did you not start the SKygrid server when we played?
@RonanForman Vanilla
vanilla server is installed as a service
Was it not RAMDisk?
@RonanForman No idea
I have no idea how the server is set up, I just know how to operate it to the point where I can get SkyGrid running :-)
13:40
@fredley What do you run?
@RonanForman Can't remember offhand, just ctrl+r search for restart and the command will come up
yeah because I'm going to click on a link that bothers you...
@pixel did you or did you not click the OCD link yesterday
@badp Oh, that was awful
I don't remember, I purge my memory each night through the excessive use of marijuana
13:50
I'll make it a point to post it daily then
@pixel Yeah, like I'm clicking on that.
@fbueckert your loss
@pixel It's offensive to me because it won't load, reminding me of the filter here at work
It's not my problem that you don't believe Sheldon's best moments worthy of watching.
13:55
@pixel INCORRECT, IT IS NOT FRIDAY TODAY
resists temptation to replace Pixel's post with USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST: Today's Wednesday.
That would be an excessive response... Today is my Friday since I am on holiday starting in 90 minutes
@pixel Offensive behaviour, taunting others at their lack of holiday
It is not taunting
@pixel You're saying that thrusting that abomination in my face is better?
14:01
Taunting would obviously be the following:
@fredley HA! In your face! I'm on holiday for 11 days starting in 90 minutes! <('o'<) (>'o')>
@pixel grumble
@pixel death stare
so, I was totally not taunting
now, stop making me laugh, my co-workers think I'm crazy
14:02
22 hours and I'll be on "holiday" (= without exams) until February!
:P
see, badp is taunting you
@pixel that would be incorrect, I'm also taunting you
I am immune to taunt
That doesn't stop me from trying.
well that puts you in the same category as my guilds main tank
always tries his best but never really succeeds
14:04
Are you calling me a faulty punching bag?
I didn't use such wording
:P
yay tonight will be so much fun
not a single hint of sarcasm
took the #1 guild in the world 9 hours to clear mogu'shan vaults
on normal difficulty
which indicates this tier could be reasonably difficult
then again it looks like blood legion did 4 bosses and then went to sleep or something
and did all four in an hour
@pixel Maybe they want to increase enjoyment for other people by creating an illusion that those people have skill and are doing good. Maybe they are good guy #1 guild.
maybe they just didn't want to appear so desperate for world firsts like they were last expansion
14:11
@pixel If you're so desperate for world firsts, I would recommend finding something more constructive to do with your time.
I don't care about world firsts
if I did I wouldn't play the game with people I care about that's for sure
I would play with people who are good at the game instead
@badp If you have that many lights, I suspect your traffic planner needs to go back to school.
@fbueckert He probably dons a black short hat. I don't suppose he gives a shit.
14:37
I can't get Famous Last Words un-stuck from my head. x_x

Q: Arqade year in review - your input requested!

agent86On October 6th, 2010, gaming.stackexchange.com graduated from beta status! In celebration of the 2 year anniversary of this date, I'm working on a "year in review" blog post. I'm going to hit all the highlights - the major events, skyrim, arqade, etc. However, I know I don't know all the cool ...

I really want to input something on this, but I don't really most of it.
14:55
@fbueckert heh, "legal transaction." Hello, I would like to withdraw a couple lawsuits and deposit a restraining order.
@badp When every question can be answered with, "Ask a real lawyer", I suspect the proposal shouldn't work.
@fbueckert I was just commenting on the beautifully useless name.

Q: How can I beat Terramorphous the Invincible?

Ben BrockaSo this Terramorphous the Invincible is pretty tough. He spawns at level 52 after the end of the game even when your level is lower.
