eyes Valve So much for finishing by 17:00 PDT
@MBraedley Which company?
Garaga, garage door manufacturer.
@MBraedley That's...not what I was expecting.
I assumed some drink or car company.
As in alcoholic? Those are expected during he playoffs.
Ah sell garage doors and garage door accessories
00:03
And it's local broadcast, so mostly local companies.
@Ullallulloo well, it still has something to do with cars.
@MBraedley Alcoholic or carbonated.
@MBraedley Yeah, I was thinking garage doors are kind of specific for a national broadcast.
@Ullallulloo well either isn't unexpected.
@MBraedley Yeah, but it could still be annoying.
00:07
@Ullallulloo they actually aren't a local company, but they are running a contest
GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAL!!!
Sorry for Ottawa fans and those who don't pay attention to hockey.
And another one!
@LessPop_MoreFizz is that meant for me to keep my comments to myself?
@MBraedley I take it Montreal is winning?
@MBraedley No. No it is not.
Also this is incredible:
@Wipqozn 2-0 right now

Q: What are the "Rare" Monsters found throughout the Clockworks?

Retrosaur As you can see from the picture above, on the tip panel, it reads: Rare Monsters Rare monsters offering unique items roam the Clockworks. Have you discovered any yet? What are these "rare" monsters it talks about? What are the unique drops? I'm not quite sure what they mean by "rar...

00:33
I wish I knew why the broadcast keeps cutting out. It could be my antenna, the amp in the antenna, or the source.
Oh, CBC got the Olympics back. Border towns will be glad.
Dear Valve, please bring Steam back up. Sincerely, me.
Dear @Powerlord, soon. Sincerely, Valve.
Hmmm? Steam isn't down for me
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It looks like it's just coming back up now.
Great, Steam's up, TF2 item server isn't
and this sound playing code isn't working

Q: How do I adjust Steam chat font sizes?

Yi Jiang's Evil CloneIt seems that a recent Steam update increased font size in chat to 'improve readability'. Unfortunately, this only changed the font size in the in the conversation area and nowhere else in the chat window, making the interface jarring to use. How can I change it back to the way it was before?

Yay, I'm getting slightly less than 100 views per hour on this question. Jackpot.
00:49
..k
Close is the new Yes!
Apparently it's the new "No"
And "Exit" is the new no-op
Steam buttons never make sense. Deal with it.
So... is Brutal Legends worth USD8?
00:54
...and Steam's down again

A: Is there any way to access Dynasty Traits in offline mode?

KimThis is precisely why is not longer viable to buy games. Too many restrictions for the legit customer. The cracks actually make the games playable and give a sense of ownership. This is what is causing more piracy.

Q: Do you still gain weapon type xp when the weapon's xp is maxxed?

MaslowI've heard a rumor but I can't find anything to back it or show that it is untrue. Once a weapon has hit the max experience it can get, you no longer gain weapon type experience from continuing to use it. Is this the case?

Q: Most beneficial loadout for the OTAS Boreas?

user28015I plan on buying a Boreas for the Final Fury Plot, since I have read that this requires a M2 with a M6 fleet. As I said, the ship will be used during the Final Fury Plot as in sector combat vessel and later also as in and out of sector combat vessel to protect my own sector that I will gain dur...

@YiJiang'sEvilClone no, just commissioner Gordon.

01:16
@mbraedley I don't like Ottawa but I don't like Montreal either. So I really can't decide who should win that one.
@AshleyNunn just root for Toronto. You know, so the Bruins don't win.
@AshleyNunn Just root for the Islanders. We've suffered enough and they're leaving*. (For Brooklyn. 15 miles away. Still. It hurts.)
The islanders are winning at the moment
That goal will be called back :)
WHAT!? That was not a clean goal! It was kicked in!
01:33
@MBraedley Pens own the refs. :(
@LessPop_MoreFizz i was referring to the Ottawa goal
And that's not looking good...
@MBraedley Can you tell I don't actually have the game on.
Considering you didn't even know NYI were winning, it's not surprising.
And that game's over
user15026
@MBraedley Yeah, but that is as likely as.....something unlikley
hello everyone
i was hoping the experts might be able to help
01:44
@Vaishali Hi! :)
i am looking to buy extended cut ending for mass effect, omega and citadel
hi Ullallulloo
does anyone have any links
This link was useless
@Vaishali Download Origin. Install it. Everything will be through there.
@Vaishali for PC?
yes for PC
But then, if you had a legit copy of ME3, you'd already have Origin and know that.
01:46
I have Origin and ME3 installed
go to the store tab in Origin.
Should be there
I do have a legit copy
ok thanks Keith
Will try it out
@Vaishali According to Kotaku it's automatically under "Game Addons".
So help me god if the sens win this in OT
ok @Ullallulloo let me check

Insurance in Texas

Proposed Q&A site for licensed insurance agents and representatives in Texas.

Currently in definition.

That seems oddly specific.
@RavenDreamer It is.
@RavenDreamer Especially because the answer to most insurance questions in Texas is "HAH HAH YOU'RE SCREWED FUCK YOU."
Do not understand appeal of Tsundere characters.
01:58
Allowing for possibility that I have not encountered enough to make sound judgement.
This only has wallpaper and soundtrack
ok @Ullallulloo let me check
@Vaishali can you not get it in game?
how? I click on downloadable content
it shows me 4 things i can purchase
but not extended cut
That's... odd
Extended cut should be just part of the base game, yea?
02:02
Well wait, the extended cut is free. It might already be installed
@Vaishali Click on the game in Origin, and click the little i next to play.
ok game is running @Fluttershy
It'll take you to the list of Add-Ons and Bonuses, and you should see Extended Cut under there. Then you just click "Get it now".
Not in the game. In Origin itself.
ok
lemme try
i click on downloadable content
it shows resurgence, rebellion and retaliation
but no extended cut
Click that thing.
The circled thing.
02:05
thre is no nect link
Then, click that thing.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Okay, bed time.
This should be on the site, probably.
user15026
@MBraedley :(
So, who wants Brutal Legend?
user15026
02:20
@Fluttershy I will, if no one else takes it
First come, first served! One sec.
02:55
someone actually followed - oh great now I am going to check on my proposal religiously

Q: Are there Dark Souls servers?

ZenoFrom what I understood, Demon's Souls had servers thus why they originally were going to shut down the servers [1]. However from what I hear, Dark Souls is P2P based. Is this true, and if so why does this recent tweet mention Dark Souls servers? What servers would this be regarding? Official sou...

There's a Humble Bundle going on. Buy the games and play them?

emistI'm working on modifying texture colors for games. I'm using Easyhook which is basically a glorified detours library for C#, and I am also using SlimDX which is a wrapper for direct3d for C#.

@YiJiang'sEvilClone what are the games?
Costume Quest, Stacking, Psychonauts, Brutal Legends for BTA and Broken Age pre-order for $35

@LessPop_MoreFizz Hmmm, drink beer and watch something interesting? Tis what I am doing minus beer
03:33
@Ashleynunn 1) I no has beer. 2) nothing interesting is on.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Those are both unfortunate things

@Fluttershy HI!
THOU SHALL ALWAYS GREET @SPUGSLEY IN ALL CAPS

@spugsley Is that the same parking area as your picture the other day? >_>
user15026
@spugsley I really like today's. With the storm, and the empty parking lot, and @OrigamiRobot walking, it has a cool feeling to it
04:08
@Fluttershy yes....why? :(
@AshleyNunn thanks :) I like it. I also love that parking lot...it's always empty
user15026
@spugsley It has this wicked barren feeling to it
@spugsley Don't frown! I was just curious.
@Fluttershy oh...you made a >.> this face
Can someone tell me what the 'literally' here is suppose to mean? gaming.stackexchange.com/posts/116620/revisions
@spugsley I make that face a lot! <_<
@YiJiang'sEvilClone They won 1-2 matches. But they did it literally.
04:13
How can you figuratively win matches?
You literally can't.
Literally.
If anyone wants lots of music from Ar Tonelico, try this. Much of it is very good.
And with that, I am literally going to sleep!

Q: What is this "Witch" in Candy Box

Luckybudda89So, I've been playing this game, Candy Box, for a while now, and I've just recently found this website. While reading the posts, I came across a lot about this "Witch." What is it and how do I find/get it?

05:52
@Fluttershy Why the parentheses?
 
1 hour later…
Blergh

Morning
07:33
I think you had it right in the first line.
Is there a difference between the two?
I thought they were synonyms :)
mornings are so useless
I don't know what to do
08:14
Oh come on Costume Quest
"PRESS E NOW" presses E ... buzzer
"PRESS SPACE NOW" presses SPACE ... buzzer
How the hell do you save in this thing. I can't play like this
08:41
Are those games any good?
@TZHX I have no idea

Q: How is experience gained?

AlexIn Nimble Quest, you kill monsters and you pick up gems. How is the experience gain for a character calculated? Is it based only on these two factors (gems and kills), or only one of them, or does it involve other factors, such as what level you get to (i.e. do higher levels give you more exper...

Psychonauts is great. Brütal Legend has a very fun first part and awesome music, but gets grind-y when the RTS part starts to overwhelm everything else. No idea about the others.
Frankly, Brütal Legend is probably worth $8 for the music alone.
(If you like Rock and Metal)
Costume Quest runs like crap on my computer even the lowest quality settings. It's a platformer with quick-time events driven battle. I guess Stacking is an okay adventure game.
ok then.
not entirely sure I don't already have pschonauts lying around from a previous bundle, but will find out when I get home I guess.

> From 2 May 2013, NLB will be implementing a new password policy for Online IDs. Passwords shall not contain the user id and must have a minimum of 8 alphanumeric characters including a number, an uppercase letter and a lowercase letter. Users whose passwords do not meet these requirements must update their password before they will be allowed to access an e-Service.
Do you see what's wrong with this statement?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Hmmmmmmmm. Actually... not
"How do they update the password without access to the service"?
You log in with your old password and compliance is checked at that time. If your password is too weak, you're met with a mandatory "password change" screen.
If HTTPS is used, this can be done securely
I don't see the WTF here.
How did they know your original password was weak?
Oh, hmmm. I guess so.
> You log in with your old password and compliance is checked at that time.
Doesn't mean it's done like that, but it could be.
09:06
THE WORLD SHALL BURN
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I can't even remember if I have an account lol
@BoltClock Neither can I
I like the irony, galacticninja has that wall of text on his profile stating "downvoters, please leave a comment when..."
and then downvotes people without leaving a comment
don't yawn, you'll make me yawn

I am just going to fall asleep at my desk, back in an hour or when I get caught

What, I, 3235 hours played?
you are an addict
@kalina That wasn't a very long nap
09:23
manager arrived
I am now fueled by coffee and sour skittles
THE BOOK STILL ISN'T HERE
@kalina now?
@fredley I hadn't had any skittles before this today
oh and my new phone arrived
well kinda
it has arrived at the address I was intending for it to get delivered to
@kalina So you are now fueled.
but I don't get to go down there and pick it up until Friday
@fredley those are the words I used, yes
09:25
@kalina Waiting for phones to ship is some kind of modern day purgatory.
my phone has shipped
it has been delivered
but because I'm never at home during the day I had it delivered to the place that I was at last weekend
with the intention that it would have arrived before the weekend
@kalina Why not get it delivered to work like a normal person?
because if I had all of my deliveries delivered to work, there would be multiple packages per day turning up for me

Q: Will a chained Dog starve?

IanI've got a thief problem, I want to chain up some dogs at my entrance to stop him. But won't the dogs starve to death? I'm not sure how dogs eat in the first place, I've never seen one take food from my stockpiles.

Q: Is there a way to keep the chunks always loaded in ssp vanilla minecraft?

user1602020Is there any ways to keep a chunk (of any dimension) always loaded as long I am playing? I hope this is not a repeated question. Thanks for reading.

it's easier to get them all delivered to a central location where I know somebody will be during working hours and then pick them up
besides, setting up a phone at work is obviously not working
whereas right now it's not obvious
09:29
@kalina wevs
don't wevs me
it's wednesday today right
btw, the whole sleep pattern thing is unravelling and has ceased working
I am now holding you responsible for everything that is wrong with the world
@kalina So business as usual then?
I'm on to series 2

Q: What is Steam rating and what does it do?

Anna LearI just noticed that apparently Steam has a rating and mine is 0.6: 0.6 what? Is that good? Bad? Should I be forever embarrassed for having posted a screenshot?

I am edging ever closer to Teh Suck
Steam Rating:
1.1
Playing time:
3.5 hrs past 2 weeks
@BoltClock I wonder if you can see gameaddict's answer
How long ago did they remove the ratings?
09:43
@badp ?
@TZHX The question was asked in 2011.
I never saw them anyway.
Yeh, they can't have been around long.
Here is an alternate chart which is the devil's advocate of the original chart, and depending on your perspective is just as valid:

    r = 10       Slave to Capitalism           h = 32.0
    9 = r < 10   Obsessive Gamer            28.8 = h < 32.0
    8 = r < 9    Competitive Gamer          25.6 = h < 28.8
    7 = r < 8    Got nothing better to do   22.4 = h < 25.6
    6 = r < 7    Too lazy to work           19.2 = h < 22.4
    5 = r < 6    Money/Time waster          16.0 = h < 19.2
    4 = r < 5    Procrastinator             12.8 = h < 16.0
@badp He can't, no
(This isn't his full answer)
09:45
I've had Steam on-and-off since HL2's release, and I never remember seeing them. Plus, it didn't start tracking time for quite a while.
Arrrrgh
I got an array of URLs in the Chrome console which I'm trying to copy paste somewhere else
Chrome keeps insisting that it'll be a good idea to shorten the URLs with ellipsis in the middle of them, even when I call JSON.stringify on the array, it still automagically turned the strings into links and shortened them
document.body.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(img); // Fuck you Chrome
that'll do, I wanted to suggest simply replacing every / with KAJKJERKWJ and than search and replacing it back
I first tried document.write, but it seems the console intercepts that and turns it into console.log
Chrome's console is far too smart for it's own good
Thats.. odd
Indeed =p
Still, better that then IE's console

@kalina It's a NAA
I'm not sure why it hasn't been deleted yet
I flagged it 8 hours ago
@YiJiang'sEvilClone because I'm the only person who has cast a delete vote on it?
Don't worry, we have week-old flags that haven't been addressed yet
we don't do "week old" around here
sorry if you slack enough to let it happen where you're at
:p~
No big deal
10:05
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It accrued 12 flags but only 2 were red. That's why
@BoltClock The oldest flag on my list is 14 hours old
it's a shame there isn't a "delete" and "undelete" review queue
would make handling deletions much easier
@kalina Check your tools page
and a flag queue
no I said a queue
not an overview
that's too many mouse clicks, cba with that
make one nice and pretty system rather than making said system and then giving up half way through
You get a list of recent delete votes cast. There aren't that many delete votes flying around
Same with flags
there are about as many flags as there are suggested edits
your attempt at justification is flawed
plus the overview pages on tools only show the top X votes
rather than all active votes

Well, there isn't anything wrong with using keyboard for everything, if you can set up your computer to do that

I keep having dreams about being one class short of graduating college...
awww poor you
no wait, the other thing
ahahahahahahaha!
@ori :-(
11:24
every time you say ori, I think stargate sg1
@OrigamiRobot Have you actually graduated yet?
@GraceNote I graduated 2 years ago.
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, that sounds about right, then.
It's just started in the last week or so.
Oh, it'll eventually go away. And then a year later you'll start failing to graduate again, or be late for class, or forget to do your homework...
11:31
Sometimes it's about not having enough extracurricular activities.
Homework?
Which is the most ridiculous.
HOMEWORK?!
Oh, I imagine it would be.
ghyahahaah'ahahahahahahayayahahayahahahagghaahahah ohh no I just can't do this laugh
11:32
It's been a few weeks since my last foray into academic failure. Recent weeks I haven't even been in an analog to this world though.
I have dreams about setting fire to people, not being late for school
You people are weird
In other news yesterday night a ship doing standard maneuvering within Genova's dock managed to crash in the dock itself...
back-first...
I sometimes wonder if I'll ever be at the physically impossible theater again.
right into the control tower...
at shift change time...
That sounds disastrous...
11:39
under perfect weather conditions
It sounds ridiculous nor than disastrous
Homer-flaming-milk kind of ridiculous
Well, it definitely sounds like a major case of major human error. But y'know, crashing into a control tower at shift change time sounds like it could be very dangerous.
but yeah the tower crumbled into the ship and at least three Marines died
Sounds like an handsomely limited body count if it was final
The current leading theory is the engine got stuck in reverse actually
That would be a feasible explanation.
11:45
The operation is supposed to be so simple and routine that it isn't attended to by the ship commander but by dock staff itself, or at least that's what the reports say
Go Murphy!
I guess there is a silver lining though β€” it was a freight and not a passenger ship
@GraceNote What's that?
I have in front of me S$6 worth of sushi
@badp It's pretty much the only recurring location I've had in the worlds of dreams that hasn't reflected some place I know in our world.
Oh. Nice
11:50
It's only appeared twice, but that it reoccurred at all was always interesting to me.
Sounds Eschery
It's "physically impossible" because it is a 3 story building (plus basements), but the second floor is smaller than an average apartment. Whilst the third story, which consists of three giant theater halls connected by long stairways, well, they're huge. Structurally, this shouldn't work at all.
*sigh* Binge eating sushi before going into the army
The only other notable things that I recall as matching between them is that there's always this gaggle of girls in white dresses who happen to always go to the same show I'm going, and that the snack bars are staffed by wonderfully handsome bodybuilder macho men~
@GraceNote It can work fine structurally if the empty space in the 'second floor' is used to provide very high ceilings for the first floor.
I know several buildings like that actually.
Alternately, if the empty space is used to allow the third floor theaters to sink below the line and occupy 'second floor' space.
11:55
If I'm grasping what you mean by your description, it doesn't quite work like that in this theatre, at least to my observations of its architecture.
Let me whip up a really basic picture.
but if you do that you'll change the theatre!
What is this sweet yellow stuff that taste like egg?

Tamagoyaki 卡焼き (literally 'grilled egg', also called tamago or dashimaki) is a type of Japanese omelette, which is made by rolling together several layers of cooked egg. These usually are prepared in a rectangular omelette pan called a makiyakinabe. There are several types of tamago. Tamago is made by combining eggs, rice vinegar, and sometimes sugar or soy sauce. Additionally, sake is used in some recipes. An alternative version includes a mix of shrimp puree, grated mountain yam, sake and egg, turned into a custard-like cake. Tamago is served around the world in the form of nigiri, ...
