17:01
Have any of you played it?
@OrigamiRobot Ahahahahahaha
I think I need to re-write that pin so it fits on the page.
@OrigamiRobot Hey, at least he's still alive.
@badp Why wouldn't he be? That gun probably isn't capable of putting out very much amperage.

Q: In Civ 5, is there a way to have my second monitor usable?

Thomas OwensI play Civ 5 on my primary monitor full-screened. However, when I do this, my second monitor is always simply black. I can't use it for anything. Typically, I keep some things on my second monitor - chat/IM windows, a browser with my email and various social networks open, and similar things. How...

@badp Can you remove "and put your name down to be whitelisted" from the pin, hopefully it'll fit on then.
@RonanForman How about now?
It fits!
is the link correct?
17:19
(aside: I love how 0% of the FTB page is actually dedicated to explain what the hell FTB is in the first place)
@badp Feed-the-beast.com?
@RonanForman yeah
Good news: I got rid of your DIV/0 errors.
@badp Thanks.
@badp don't care bout nothin
@OrigamiRobot I actually picked "Don't want" but eh.
17:23
Choice (0=Don't want, 1=Don't care, 2=Like, 3=Need)
What's all that crap about anyway? Doesn't Minecraft have enough crap in it anyway nowadays?
mmmh
@badp No way!
@OrigamiRobot It was (1 = Don't want, 2 = Like, 3 = Need) when I just slammed 1 on the whole line
but I'm not hatin' that hard to change it all to 0's :P
@badp I've just changed it.
17:24
@RonanForman Yep.
@kalina You have to open your mouth to speak.
@OrigamiRobot true story
I only just woke up, not enough energy
going back to bed
...
@kalina Mine more minerals.
I can't mine more minerals
my brain will suffer from a catastrophic failure if I mine more minerals
Harvest more Vespene Gas
17:26
I'm sorry you lost me at 'Harvest'
All I do is fly into a group of enemies and select them all one by one until they disappear
so far I have made ~25 million isk
but have spent ~10 mil of it
I need suggestions on what to food
@OrigamiRobot Tuna from your foot!
I need suggestions on what to food too
Whoever linked NitroType yesterday is a jerk.
2
@RonanForman I do have tuna, but I am out of bread for sammich
17:30
What I'd love to eat on this slow sunday evening is pasta and peas.
I definitely wouldn't want to mine to buy plex
Where by pasta I mean ditalini rigati
but my standards may be too high for those abroad
LOOK AT BADP WITH HIS FANCY ITALIAN FOOD
I'm Italian, eating fancy Italian food is the very least I could do
@OrigamiRobot besides pasta and beas is rather not fancy, it's just hard to find small pasta formats - at least in the Netherlands.
You can eat non-fancy italian food
I want Kraft mac and cheese, but that requires me to buy the most things
17:33
What of Kraft's?
The main problem is milk. I will waste it.
Well, the main problem is getting dressed to go to the store.
@RonanForman I probably won't play enough to justify putting a 0 under wireless redstone, so I'll take it out.
Nitrotype would be cooler if it wasn't always against bots though
@GnomeSlice You don't have to.
@RonanForman Nah, I'll just ruin it for everyone else. I just won't USE it if/when I play. =]
17:39
@Sterno What's your username?
Hey guys, is this tagged okay?

Q: Where are all of the ingredients for Makena's spice recipe?

Picnic ButtonAt one point, Mama Makena asks you to help her collect a bunch of different ingredients for her special spice mix. Chilies Extra Virgin Olive Oil Lemon Chervil Salt Ginger Only problem is, I have no idea where to find some of these. Reading a full walkthrough will spoil the entire game for m...

The game is called The Journey Down: Chapter One
Which is too long.
@GnomeSlice what about
@OrigamiRobot Do you think that would be better?
I don't know.
How too long is the actual title?
I just counted and it's 24 characters with "one" and not counting the hyphens in the tag...
wtf

Q: Where is the critical location for warrior?

Meraj99I am fighting the warrior right now, and as with some YouTube videos I have seen, the critical location for it is where the warrior's stomach is. However, whenever I aim there, it never gives me a critical. Is there a specific spot or any gun requirement for getting the critical on warrior?

there's going to be a chapter 2 and 3 and stuff too
@GnomeSlice What?
@OrigamiRobot It said it was too long, but it's only 24 characters.
@GnomeSlice dashes count
@OrigamiRobot bah, figures.
this is 28 characters
17:53
Yea
26 if you use '1' instead of 'one'
vijbrk,v.ihldud;oijdbiuleber
@OrigamiRobot That works.
Unless there are 10+ chapters
@OrigamiRobot Yeah. But I doubt it.
17:55
Then we're doomed.
And it's all your fault
I love how, after half-heartedly dropping in for Ronan, it appears I'm the only one left who cares about finishing this Conclave thing :P
Bwahahah!

Q: DungeonDefenders does not start on Ubuntu 12.10 64bit

chocobaiI'm using Ubuntu 12.10 64bit with Gnome3 and the fglrx-updates graphics drivers. The drivers work good, i.e. with Grimrock(wine), OilRush or Rochard. Now, I bought the HumbleIndieBundle7 and want to play DungeonDefenders. I extracted the archive and found a ./DungeonDefenders script in this folde...

Q: Why screen resolution remains 640x480 when I close a game?

TibiI played Lugaru, the game went in Full screen mode, but when I closed the game, the screen resolution was still 640x480. It happened with Neighbours From Hell also, using Wine, and well... Almost every game i tried in fullscreen mode. Is it normal? Is there a fix for that?

18:00
@TimStone Hmm, related to this, I ended up disabling universal GPU compositing because trying to quit Chrome after a display fail consistently locked up my machine. |:
@OrigamiRobot No doom song?
@CruelCow I got distracted DONT JUDGE ME
I still need to eat
@OrigamiRobot I'm judging you. Hard.
judging a robot is a common mistake
it turns out robots don't know what to do with being judged
Cows don't know either. But that won't stop me
18:03
Ravens are always judging.
Nah. Cows have emotions and stuff. Emotions that can be hurt, driving the judgement really in.
A group of us is called a Murder, after all.

Q: How do I give gifts to children?

SaysmasterI am playing Skyrim - Hearthfire DLC (PC Version), and I have adopted a kid that lives with me in my countryside mansion near Solitude. I have things I am supposed to be able to gift him (clothes, daggers etc) but when I tell him "I have a gift for you..." all options are grayed out, and I can't...

Q: How do you create custom levels in SMB?

Shadow ZorgonI just started playing Super Meat Boy, and loved the online collections of levels. After seeing some of them, I decided to create my own. Seeing that I am new to the game, I do not have many bandages, if you need those to create custom levels.

hearing the word 'stargate' so much is making me want to watch stargate again
granted, I would be able to play another game while playing EVE since I feel like I only input waypoints for it to follow most of the time
Guys! Guys! I've made my first tag-wiki! =D
your first?
:o
I've never made one
18:36
@Sterno I must agree with that :(
@Fluttershy Oooh Oooh. There was something I wanted to tell you.
But I've forgotten it...
=(
So is there a faster paced game of Conclave going anywhere? <_<
@RavenDreamer Was it about Torchlight 2? >_> Or GW2?
timber and stone, i think

Q: Minecraft - Game has disappeared

MireillePoints were bought last week for my son to download Minecraft. He was playing quite happily this morning, but when he went to play it this afternoon, it appears to have disappeared. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

@RavenDreamer Ah, gotcha.
19:04
@Fluttershy Yeah. I bought Torchlight 2 because I was angry at Time Warner Cable, I think.
There are definitely... more destructive ways to vent.
(Though maybe less expensive too)
That might be the weirdest reason to buy anything ever... <_<
I"M ANGRY! MUST SAVE ON STEAM SALE!
RAWR!
shift lock
Lack of internet makes a man go mad.
cruise control for true
19:05
Though now I really want a steam sale sponsered by the Hulk.
So what's a guy gotta do to get a tag-wiki accepted around here?
HULK SMASH STEAM SALE CAUSE NOW HULK WALLET EMPTY
eugh
that sneeze feels like I dislodged my brain
@kalina Long as you don't crack a rib!
no my rib cage is ok
I feel like I just halved my intellectual capacity for a moment though
19:07
I'm glad your chest is safe, then.
Er...
er... :p
@TimStone I don't know if you saw it when I was complaining about it yesterday... but TWC disconnected me in error, then claimed I'd have to wait 6 days for them to fix it.
;)
At any rate it's been a few disappointing massive Steam sales for me
@TimStone Needless to say, 2 hours on hold / with customer support later, I emerge with internet after only 2 days down, and a promise of compensation to come.
@RavenDreamer I did! I'd have cracked some shins, that's rather ridiculous.
19:08
I guess the summer sale will see either Core or Void selling at more than 10% discount!
Hooray for compensation! Would have been better had they not botched it up to begin with though, I imagine.
@TimStone Yes. I told the customer retention lady to have her supervisor call me back, so we'll see if that happens.
@Fluttershy Bribes help.
@RavenDreamer Fingers crossed, heh. :D
@RavenDreamer I have nothing to bribe with! <_<
@Fluttershy I googled that tag wiki five times before begrudgingly letting it through. NEXT TIME I SHALL BE MORE THOROUGH ON CHECKING YOUR COPY PASTE SHENANIGANS.
19:11
@Fluttershy Don't you have a loan to pay back?
cracks knuckles
Pony better pony up!
@RavenDreamer Yep. Working on it!
...nevermind Raven beat me to it
NitroType says I have about 100 WPM.
shades
@Fluttershy You can bounty me reps until I have enough to approve your edit next time. nods
@RavenDreamer I think that's @StrixVaria sitting at #1 for the fastest racers in the last 24 hours....
19:14
I think I'm going to set my Twitter trends to Urdu or something so I'm not grazed by their stupidity ever again.
No Urdu settings for Twitter trends. MY EVIL PLANS, FOILED AGAIN.
There's Japan though. Long list of equally meaningless ideogram pairs. Yes, this'll do.
No new episodes until the 19th? That's just silly.

Q: If you submit a new portal to Ingress are you informed when it is activated in the game?

coversnailWhen you submit a possible location for a new Ingress portal are you personally informed (by email) if the portal has been accepted and been activated in the game, or does it just appear on the map?

Q: Keeping XCOM active while doing other things on the computer

ZiguIs it possible to keep the clock moving when xcom is windowed and not the active window? I kind of want to use it as a wall paper on one of my monitors while I work on the other that way I can do other things while xcom is running. I know this can be done with virtual machines but I was wonderi...

19:48
I have determined that there's so little information about what'll happen once Conclave goes out of beta because the Conclave guys themselves don't really know what to do once Conclave goes out of beta.

Should I get Dark Souls on steam?
@murgatroid99 It is a fun game, but I haven't played the Steam version, and I've heard conflicting things about it.
@Blem represent, yo
omg these $300 headphones are blowing my mind guys
it's so WARM-SOUNDING. 256-BIT FIDELITY SOUND ENGINE.
and I only payed $200 for them!
20:58
@Mana Thief.
21:10
@Mana time to crank up the volume and get some 8-bit chiptunes through!
@Fluttershy It's only at $20 right now, so I might as well try it
21:27
@Blem Rio?
@murgatroid99 I believe there is a mod to fix a lot of the issues people had. If you poke around on /r/darksouls you could probably find it.
I don't own the PC version so I didn't look into the mod myself, but I've heard people talking about it.

Q: How can I get the equipment in Quest 28 "No Turning Back"?

murgatroid99In this quest, I found the item store in the west village, but I have not found a way to get from the village to the castle before I run out of time. And even if I could, whenever I get to the village I never have enough money to buy the equipment. What to I have to do to both buy the equipment a...

Q: Can I play investigations after the relevant assassination?

Cosmic FlameI returned to the assassins bureau and then completed my assigned assassination before I had completed all the available investigations in the area. Is there any way to play the investigations that I missed?

Q: Which non-faction battleships have the best chance to get into an incursion fleet?

Mad ScientistI've never flown in an incursion, but I'm thinking about trying it out in the near future. From what I've heard incursion fleets are rather picky about which ships they take, with rather expensive navy or pirate faction ships being preferred. I don't want to risk a billion or more for trying it ...

@Wipqozn yeah, I found it
oh hai
21:38
@LessPop_MoreFizz HEY DUDE
@Wipqozn @murgatroid99 It's called DSFix. It's basically mandatory if you want to play at a non-terrible resolution.
@Mana What kind of 300 dollar headphones did you end up getting.
@LessPop_MoreFizz The Sennheisers.
They seem to have a really non-biased sound to them, which I like. They're not bass-heavy.
@Mana Boo hiss I hope you like them
Also they're super-comfy.
Also, they were only $200 in the US!
So I shipped them to Daphne's place and she brought them back with her.
sweeeeeeeeeeeet.
@RavenDreamer You should press buttons in conclave because you are holding us up.
21:41
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, I wish Conclave did a better job of whipping people into action
@badp it does okay if you leave emails on, but the emails are super annoying when people are all playing at the same time.
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, I guess John disabled them. Now we're proceeding at 1 turn/day.
Oh Isaac. If I didn't know I was playing the lowest luck challenge
Level first to second-to-last: one key per level, missing out on all sorts of chests and shops and shinies
Last level: two golden keys, six regular keys
@badp It'll move people with AI if they wait 24 hours.
John uses Defensive Posture. John's defense is increased by 1.
John uses Recover. John's defense is increased by 1.
Best AI ever.
@badp While he's in the very back.
21:56
@Ullallulloo cough do you know who else hasn't done his move today? cough
@badp @GnomeSlice.
Yeah. He's been around too today.
@Ullallulloo ahem
@OrigamiRobot I moved.
At any rate I like how you have the long name debuff @Ullallulloo

Q: What is the song that plays during the "Burn the drug fields" mission?

Steve V.There's a song that plays on repeat during the "burn the five drug fields, destroy the boat" mission. I think it's kinda catchy. What's the actual name of the song and who performs it?

Q: Minecraft Exp Shops don't work when Single Player Commands is installed

ZephlonAn Exp Shop is a button that, when pressed, will give you items in exchange for a set amount of exp. You build one by placing a button on a wall, and putting two repeaters and command blocks behind it. Here is a diagram: b = button [ ] = wall r = repeater [c] = command block b [ ] r [c] r ...
