The last day of the Borderlands 2 Gear Up event brings a dangerous foe (and legendary item) for seasoned Vault Hunters: http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/community/articles/985/borderlands-2-gear-up-weekend
Also goddamn it google onebox "time in (timezone) already"
@badp oh shit I was JUST thinking I should try and kill that thing. Anyone up for Vermivorous hunting tonight?
Also the Norfleet sounds pretty sweet. Plus it's a Maliwan
@BenBrocka if by tonight you mean now then yes, if you mean in two hours or so from now yes, much later than that and I can't help
@badp You people and your timezones
GEARBOX Y U NO DO THIS STUFF ON A WEEKEND
But yeah I'll be home in 3 hours, I kinda figured you'd be out
20:02
@BenBrocka I'm down
@BenBrocka It's 9pm already on the correct earth timezone. It's awesome!
...especially since it's a "weekend" event. Should have done it Sunday
@badp I'm also down for doing it right now, if you'd like. Hooray sick days
@DaveMcClelland Need 3 people
@TimStone want to get horribly maimed helping us fight vermivorous?
20:03
@badp Just about everyone I know who plays lives in the great country of 'murrca. So other Arqanauts are our best bet
@badp I think 2 or more means "2-4 people total"
@BenBrocka I'd love to, but I doubt I'm high enough level
@aquemini182 just two or more people together
@SaintWacko Are you over 40?
@BenBrocka Nope
Also, can we call ourselves Arqanauts?
20:04
@DaveMcClelland Arqadians
@SaintWacko Oh, yeah you'll probably die. But I have Res so I can probably keep anyone alive around 45
Or Aqradians. Depending on preference and/or spelling skills
so long as you don't kill any faster than once every ~10 seconds
@SaintWacko I guess that does have the skies of arcadia reference
@badp Find people to play. I'm going to finish killing this thing and hop on BL2
@BenBrocka Well, if you need one more person, let me know, and I'll see how long I can not die :P
20:06
I've already launched BL2
I'm at work
for two more hours
@SaintWacko Come to think of it I guess you could sit in a corner and at least let me hammer him down alone
@BenBrocka There is that
@DaveMcClelland will you be around later tonight? I'm off work in 3 hours
I could join as Zero, and sit in the corner shooting at him from long range
20:07
@SaintWacko Any Varkid can turn into vermi, so Caustic Caverns or Tundra
Both are okay for sniping
@SaintWacko I thought Zero was the person running the game? Oh wait, that's 999 / VLR.
@BenBrocka Tundra is probably best
@BenBrocka I should be
Does anyone else find it funny that the Java keyloggers starred comment is two below the Minecrraft server starred comment? :P
Maybe @Ianpugsly or @Origamirobot could help too (re: gearboxsoftware.com/community/articles/985/…)
20:09
@Powerlord I only have Java 64 bit installed, so Chrome should be safe and Minecraft should be happy.
@DaveMcClelland I can't join you. Are you still loading the game?
@badp Yeah, it rage crashed on me
@badp Are you on the SE mumble server?
I'll be, listen-only, in a few seconds
@Wipqozn Fun fact: the mention of me in this onebox is yellow for me.
@John Nifty
@John yeah it always does that. Even in tweets
20:25
I wonder if 16384 ships is a bit excessive ... #galcon2 http://t.co/42zcTxBh
Whoa
@GnomeSlice I'd more impressed if they actually LOOKED like ships.
@fbueckert You've never played Galcon, have you.
@GnomeSlice Nope.
You should.
Great multiplayer game.
@GnomeSlice Oh, one of those games
20:28
@SaintWacko No, it is that game.
I think there's still a flash version kicking around you can play.
I'm only good at 'Galcon' for iOS though.
I suck at Galcon fusion, the maps are too big
@SaintWacko You might like Starfarer.
@fbueckert Starsector*
Doesn't really look very similar.
@GnomeSlice No, Starfarer.
I meant what I said.
You mean Starsector.
Formerly known as Starfarer
Eufloria was a fun similar game
20:30
Oh, hey, they changed the name.
When did THAT happen?
@fbueckert I know what I said. =]
@fbueckert Dunno
@GnomeSlice My bad, dude.
@fbueckert This looks more like Gratuitous Space Battles than Galcon.
Yeah, Galcon is nothing like this.
@DaveMcClelland feel free to test this while you're at it:
Looks interesting though

Q: Is Vermivorous always level 50?

Ben BrockaI plan on hunting Vermivorous for the event to get some of his drops and I'm wondering, does he always spawn at level 50/52 regardless of playthrough like Terramorphous, or does he scale with the area like normal mobs? I ask because, a la Is there any reason not to farm Terramorphous on Normal m...

@Ben will do.
@GnomeSlice Yeah, it does. But it's a more personal, tactical feel.
@BenBrocka We're having a hell of a time spawning him though
@fbueckert Yeah, GSB wasn't that engaging.
Gratuitous Tank Battles on the other hand, is amazing.
@GnomeSlice I prefer GSB.
The tower defense aspect just feels slow and plodding.
20:33
GTB is just really, really difficult.
@BenBrocka If I was working from home, I would, although my assassin isn't even level 50 yet :P
@fbueckert have you played Captain Forever?
@GnomeSlice The screenshots don't interest me.
Playing Virtue's Last Reward again, it seems almost random which endings have credits and which don't.
@TimStone I could manage with >45 probably. I've got revive on my Siren so a few death are no problem (long as they're not mine)
20:35
@fbueckert What screenshots?
@DaveMcClelland Don't shoot the varkids, just wait: borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Vermivorous_the_Invincible
@GnomeSlice On their website.
@BenBrocka Yeah, I think I'm on my way to 47 at the moment.
@BenBrocka We never need to shoot them?
There are screenshots?
20:36
> Each Varkid has a small percentage chance of morphing into a Vermivorous. They do not need to be damaged, or have other varkids around. They do however, need to remain in combat for enough time to hit their metamorphosis timers. Team size appears to have a direct and positive effect on metamorphosis chance.
@fbueckert check out the video I just posted, I recorded that a while ago.
@DaveMcClelland Apparently not. Wiki lists timers too
It's simple, but surprisingly fun
@BenBrocka Hmm, interesting
@TimStone You'd be good. But it sounds like you'd be at work?
20:37
@GnomeSlice I have enough to play to afford to be picky.
@DaveMcClelland they just need to be in combat mode, so kite them around for a couple minutes
@BenBrocka What time? I won't be home for another four hours or so.
@BenBrocka Neato. I guess we'll try that
@fbueckert It's free. It's a browser game.
@TimStone I'm probably game all night. I Won't be home for another 3 hours either
@DaveMcClelland longest you should have to wait on a single varkid (ultimate badass) is 2 minutes. I think you can kill them after that? Sounds like some just never transform
20:39
@GnomeSlice Time = limited. Game collection = large. Requirements for games to be played = high.
@BenBrocka Yeah, that's what I've found. I'll keep a timer
Larval/Blood > Adult Pod = 10s
Adult > Badass Pod = 20s
Badass > Super Badass Pod = 30s
Super Badass > Ultimate Badass Pod = ~40-60s
Ultimate Badass > Supreme Badass Pod (Vermivorous) = ~100-120s
@BenBrocka Ah, good stuff. I'm in then (time-with-girlfriend pending)

@fbueckert That sounds about right. I haven't played a browser game in a long time
Other than Conclave and DCSS
If you consider DCSS a browser game
20:45
@SaintWacko I used to play hundreds and hundreds of browser games.
If you asked me a few years ago, I probably would have played any game you could mention.
@GnomeSlice Same here, I used to spend a lot of time on Kongregate
Also, are we still hunting mod recs?
@SaintWacko Newgrounds, for my college days.
Those were short, pointless games.
@SaintWacko I was wondering about that myself.
@SaintWacko Me too.
We've got mods on both sides of the fence.
My account got stolen and I made a new one, which I guess I've had for longer now.
'xGnomeSlicex' :/
I want to change it, I hate it.
20:48
@fbueckert This one especially seems like it should die
I had to pick something.
The only answer is "no, there isn't", and it's not even accepted
I didn't realize Captain Forever had a bunch of newer editions you could get if you donated.
Awesome.
@SaintWacko The latest meta post seems to indicate that the community likes mod-rec questions.
the conference call did very nice damage
occasionally I saw red-k damage flying out of the thing at high speed
20:52
@BenBrocka I felt like a pedant giving such an answer, but when we spawned him, he was 53
Personally, I think most mod-rec questions should be burned with fire, because they're essentially, "I want Game X to do Y. Can it?"
also this guy must be an alien because this is the only photo I could snatch of it
(cc @BenBrocka who asked how my borderlands looked)
20:55
@badp Not as bad as I expected really. Is that the actual res?
@BenBrocka yes
@DaveMcClelland Woah, he's bigger than I thought
@BenBrocka Yeah, he actually clips onto those little spike overhangs you can see there
@DaveMcClelland Normal mode or TVHM?
@BenBrocka TVHM
20:56
tvhm
This time I'm trying with the bee
@DaveMcClelland Ah, was wondering mostly for Normal Mode. > 50 is really the only thing I care about
@fbueckert NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
We also got his legendary on our first try. Hooray
Did you manage to kill it without the bee?
I didn't use it
20:57
Thanks for giving me dibs, @badp
The Norfleet? He has several legendaries
@BenBrocka Yeah. The one that's incrased
@fbueckert His is less blurry, too.
@BenBrocka Wasn't the Norfleet the legendary?
@badp The boosted one. He has several though. Class mods, a grenade and some heads
20:57
@fbueckert One that doesn't know how to answer a question, apparently
@SaintWacko Nnnnnope.
I saw he got himself a downvote while I was editing his post.
@DaveMcClelland If you get multiple elements I'll take any you don't want. What element did you get?
we got the rocket launcher, yeah
caustic
@fbueckert That would be me
@badp Dayum, nice damage
20:59
He doesn't even seem to attempt to answer the question
A shock one would be lovely for the Mechro
@badp Wow
@SaintWacko He doesn't seem to, no, except through examples.
I hear it even does more damage than the Nukem if more than one projectile hits
@fbueckert Even those examples don't answer the question
He says he has e-tech guns by those manufacturers, but not whether their bonuses apply, and that's the question
21:02
@SaintWacko Hey, I'm just fixing his "answer". If you feel it doesn't answer the question, go ahead and flag it.
I need to get my BL2 characters up so I can take advantage of that sort of weapon
@fbueckert Whee, more free helpful flags

Q: The game doesn't open with Windows 8 Enterprise

Gurukiran.SCrysis does not open at all, even when I right-click and choose Run as Administrator. The cursor just rotates and stops. I have the 64-bit version of Windows 8 Enterprise installed on my computer and followedave followed the same installation steps as what I did for Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. ...

Q: Unlock parts of car won from Joker Box

PhaDaPhunkUsually when there is a lock item, you see something like Complete rank 6 with x contact. The thing is I just won a car in a Joker Box and when I go on a lock part I see You have not unlocked this part yet. Is there something I need to do ? Do I have to buy the car to have the parts that ...

@Ronan Looks cool, but imho needs more "what it is", because I'm can't really tell from that link, other than "a bunch of mods"
The minecraft mod thing? They definitely need some intro copy
21:15
at the 30 minute I must leave for ~30 minutes
@badp We should get to killing things then
yeah (I'll come back for more thing killing later though)
How long did it take for you guys to spawn him?
5 minutes, ish
but it took a few tries
so like, 30
~15 more like
21:23
@BenBrocka Yeah, that
So the bee is practically useless
@DaveMcClelland I just hit the X on the window
yeah
Oh that's right. Windowed mode is a thing
why's windowed mode cheating? I need to see chat!
my monitor can hardly drive one monitor without overheating
*my laptop
nVidia 9200 M GS, look it up and weep softly :(
21:28
right now I'm just checking if duping worked then coming back in 30 mins
Died shortly after. =[
@GnomeSlice Oh, man I forgot about that game
@SaintWacko Did you know there's 'Captain Successor' and another one he's working on?
yep worked
Actually, that doesn't look quite the same...
21:29
I just bought them
@BenBrocka So far @badp and I are 2 for 2 in getting the Norfleet
@SaintWacko Captain Successor
Is that the one where you kill enemy ships and collect parts to build your own ship?
And there are sectors and things
@DaveMcClelland Don't worry I'm not actually that much of a RL fan
@DaveMcClelland same element?
21:30
and you can place turrets or something
@BenBrocka Fire
@BenBrocka Feel free to hit me up later and we can dupe either or both
@BenBrocka Though I may ask to trade you for a bee
@DaveMcClelland cool
@DaveMcClelland Np. Here's hoping there's a Shock in there somewhere
My mechro is murder with shock <3
@BenBrocka I've got nothing but time tonight. I'm more than willing to run through it with you as well
21:31
No heads/coms yet?
the fire one is better than the caustic one in pretty much all ways
@BenBrocka 0 out of 2 kills got us that
The post made it sound like only the drop rate for the norfleet is increased
@SaintWacko Sectors?
@badp Legendaries still have random parts, so that can happen
How many rockets per shot does it eat?
@SaintWacko is this the game you're thinking of? captainforever.com/captainforever.php
21:32
@badp Someone plays on a laptop.
yep :(
@Ullallulloo How did you know that?
@SaintWacko low res and terrible graphics
@BenBrocka Oh. I play on a laptop, and I do not have those problems
Plus BL2 probably goes higher than DX9 if your hardware supports it
21:33
@SaintWacko 480p windowed with low graphics and DX9.
@Ullallulloo :O
While I play fullscreen DX11 and almost max graphics on a three year old low end card.
Also, that's a lot of damage.
@badp Also it's puissant. Of course it's superior smug scoff
Your face is superior
It really is
21:38
400k slag damage to the eyed :P
I believe that Anime & Manga will die, soon

Anime & Mangaanime.stackexchange.com

Beta Q&A site for anime & manga fans.

Currently in public beta.

3 "Needs Work"
@MichelAyres I was excited about it at first, but then realized that most of the users are just going to be poking at plot holes about series I don't watch.
Yeah ><
The answer are short and without great effort. =/
@MichelAyres I have zero interest in Bleach, Naruto, or One Piece.
I have interest in One Piece (from those 3)
I'm reading like 18~20 manga at the right moment.
21:42
@SaintWacko is that the game?

Q: What determines what races a slaver can provide?

OrigamiRobotWhen encountering a slaver ship, you have a couple of options to acquire a new crew member. You can buy slaves, fight to receive a slave as a bribe, or kill the slaver crew to gain your choice of slaves. Is there anything that affects which races are involved, or is it completely random? For e...

but, fewer are "main stream"
@GnomeSlice I'm not sure, I'm still at work
@MichelAyres 90 out of the 238 questions are about those three series.
I've essentially blocked 40% of the site's questions.
21:45
@Lazers Change this to "How do I know what races I can buy as slaves?"
When you ignore half a site's questions, I think the site is not for you.
@Ullallulloo Always a good thing
@fbueckert I ignore all the LoL, DOTA, and WoW questions here
@SaintWacko With you on that.
@Ullallulloo IT'S A PUPPY
21:46
@fbueckert If you ignore 30% I think it already >.<
@Ullallulloo Nhoi * - *
@fbueckert There have been times when I've ignored 80% of the questions here, but then again, I'm fairly certain this site isn't for me.
@fbueckert It's pretty easy to ignore most of Gaming's content and still have a lot to read. Also if you don't ignore 95% of Stack OVerflow's questions, SO isn't for you...
@BenBrocka SO is somewhat of an outlier.
It's so huge that you HAVE to ignore most of it if you want to get to anything important.
@fbueckert Gaming is too in that regard
@Ullallulloo You're supposed to submit a written warning before overloading the Bridge with cuteness. It's in the bylaws, man. Now I'm sitting here making "D'awww" noises in my head.
21:52
There's sooooo many games I, a huge gamer, have never played, and many I have no ability/interest to answer. It's impossible to be super interested in all possible games
@BenBrocka I just ignore the games that I'd rather not have to deal with.
@BenBrocka I AM SUPER INTERESTED IN ALL POSSIBLE GAMES
@agent86 Get that hand/eye co-ordination started early!
@agent86 That's probably just the default rating system. Besides, I wouldn't say it fits into any of the "older than 4" categories
21:54
@BenBrocka I just find the irony delicious
it's savory and sweet and mmmmmmm
@fbueckert Same here. But that's at least 30% of the questions here (LOL, WOW, SC2, Skyrim)
I can't feed into manufactured outrage no matter how ironic
shrug I read all the questions.
well, there's probably a few I don't read, because I can get the jist from the title and/or summary
There's only so many questions about lane jungling with towers I can read
@BenBrocka but AP AR jungle meta tower last hit!
runes and warding!
ultimates!
"Have you tried towering your lane hero with the jungle?" "No I heroed my tower lane with the jungle" "Oh THERE'S your problem..."
21:56
this is important!
> You can also buy an AK47 assault rifle for just $0.99, which is a very good deal for an AK47 assault rifle. Other weapons, like an MK11 sniper rifle, also cost $0.99 each.
ugh, there are two monty python "spanish inquisition" jokes in the civ5 achievements. BE ORIGINAL, FIRAXIS
@agent86 You're complaining about lack of originality in Civilization 5?
@Powerlord ironically, yes!
22:14
I am back and Mumble crashed BL2
@badp Sweet! Care to farm some more?
Sure

Q: Do you have to romance a character in earlier games, to be with them in Mass Effect 3?

IsziAlmost all the characters available for romance in Mass Effect 3 (exceptions being Steve Cortez, Samantha Traynor, and Diana Allers) are returning characters who were also available for romance in earlier games. Do you need to have a pre-existing relationship with these repeat characters, to get...

22:17
@Lazers This is a dupe. Someone asked how a more general question of how to romance everyone during the ME3 promotion. I don't remember who it was, though
@DaveMcClelland yeah, I think we beat romance options to death. that was probably in the top 3 topics for the ME3 promo
Yay, home!
@Wipqozn AK-47s for everyone!
@DaveMcClelland 30 mins, gimme 45 to get home
@BenBrocka Do you have four people?
@SaintWacko @badp and I are playing right now. You're welcome to join us. My steam username is WinterPhoenix
22:27
@DaveMcClelland I'm not sure if you want me to :P
@SaintWacko Eh, it'll all be fine
My highest level character is 24 or something like that
@SaintWacko If you don't mind dying, I don't really mind a harder boss
@SaintWacko Oh, wait - are you even on TVHM yet?
@DaveMcClelland Alright, I'll get on my sniper so I can sit off in the distance
@DaveMcClelland Nope
Oh, can you not get to him on normal?
@SaintWacko I'm not sure
22:29
@DaveMcClelland Ah, well
@SaintWacko We can try
@SaintWacko Probably you and @TimStone but he's joining later than I am. Not sure if Oragami or Ian will be around, and if I see Jin I'll ask him too
@DaveMcClelland Shall we go normal mode?
No problem with me
@badp test it test it
@badp Sure
I call dibs on answering ben's question, though
@SaintWacko What's your steam name?
22:29
however, @SaintWacko, chances are he'll be spwaning as a level 50 guy anyway
if he does you'll be barely scratching him

Q: Does Origin support Spore?

JBuraceI came across my old Spore account last week, and contacted EA about if it works on Origin. They asked for me verification and I gave it to them, they verified my Spore account was valid. The support person then simply added Spore onto my Origin account. Later on, I then launched Spore from Orig...

Did someone delete their account today?
@MBraedley Sarge did I think.
Cost me 235 rep. :(

@LessPop_MoreFizz That explains why I only lost 10. We didn't have many overlapping tags
@James at my twitter, or at the article?

I suppose "both" is a valid response
@agent86 Well your link went to your twitter THEN I got to the article :P
@agent86 Yeah, the or was rather invalid :)
@DaveMcClelland arg mumble instead of push to talk? How long does that take to set up?
@Ben seconds. mumble.sourceforge.net
It's really not difficult. And we use it for ALL games :)
