Q: Why are the Edisons blue in some versions?

Michael StumIn the C64 Version of Maniac Mansion (and the DOS version included in Day of the Tentacle), the Edisons have a normal skin color: However, in some ports (e.g., Original 3.5" DOS and Amiga) they are blue: Was there ever any explanation why they were blue? The player characters retained their...

Q: I can log into my friend's minecraft server, but then I can't play anything.. help!

xsukiSo I used to be able to play with my friend on their server and we could communicate and all that. But now what happens is, I can log into their server, but then once I'm in, what I see from my end is me continuously falling into the ground and it's pitch black OR I get in, everything's there, m...

Q: Is there a plugin which will allow Gates?

avestar101I was wondering, does a bukkit plugin where you can select an area, and then when right-clicking a sign, a fence/other block fills in the selected area? So a player could right-click a sign (or button, lever, etc) and a huge fence would retract, allowing the player to get through the otherwise c...

Q: Gamification of IT security - any applications yet?

J_rgenGamification, which is the use of game design elements and game mechanics in a non-game context, is a heavily discussed topic. It undoubtedly has great potential in educating users in IT security and rewarding secure behavior, especially in a corporate environment. But, are there any application...

 
10:06 AM
Speaking of years, I just realised Queen Elizabeth II has just some two years and a bit to go to beat Queen Victoria in the amount of years reigned. Wow. Also, poor Prince Charles, by the time he'll get on the throne, it'll have to be a wheelchair.

Q: In the Counterfeit heist, is it possible to remain undetected from the guests?

AntoAt the beginning of the Counterfeit heist, the host shows you a leak to fix in his basement. Right after that, he'll get back to his guests, leaving you alone like the poor poolboy you are supposed to be. From that moment, is it possible to make your first steps into the heist undetected, delay...

Q: Dark/Grey areas in Prison Architect

user51607In my Prison I turned off Fog Of War, but in most areas where a Gaurd or Staff isn't present the area will turn Dark and Grey. The prisoners do not show and lights don't seem to do anything and when my mouse cursor goes over the area it doesn't light up. Do I need CCTV's there? When I place a gau...

Q: Can you influence the traits your 'family' gets?

RhysWIn my playthroughs of rogue legacy i seem to get some traits popping up more frequently than others, this also seems to coincide with the traits i repeatedly pick. Does the game take into consideration your 'preferred' traits and make those slightly more common? Or is it just completely random a...

Q: Mass effect 3 Diana Allers romance

AlexWhat the shit is going on? During my first walkthrow (femshep) I romanced diana without any trouble (as well as Kaiden). But I can't do that in my second walkthrow (maleshep)! This time I romanced Kelly and Tali. What went wrong? She tells me "if you don't mind" instead of "I just need the right ...

Q: In Fifa 11-13, can you setup a match where both the home and away team is the same?

eitheWe are holding a competition and need to keep things as even as possible, so is it e.g. possible to play a two player match between Barcelona and Barcelona in Fifa 11, 12 and 13?

Q: How to get SAS working in Kerbal Space Program

Foo BarrignoI've built a small rocket in KSP. It doesn't do much, but it does make it into orbit just fine. It has a parachute, capsule, decoupler, SAS module, 3x liquid fuel tanks, a liquid fuel engine, and 4 solid state boosters on radial decouplers. When I launch, I turn SAS on, and the ship still drifts...

 
google plz to send me teh codez
 
@badp whut?!!??
 
two-factor authentication done the sms way
while my tablet goes to brno, stays there 14 business days, goes back here and I go pick it up
 
@badp Ah, that explains.
 
that's about a month's worth of time where the tablet would've been critical, so I'm left empty handed.
plus the backup of data I couldn't do
plus the relocking of the bootloader I couldn't do
they'll be obviously going to charge me for the work
 
11:46 AM
Why would your tablet go to brno? Cheap repair? Registered thievery?
 
@Arperum It's the nearest ASUS repair center
No, really.
 
That's quite a distance... you'd think they have more then a repair centre for every X countries.
 
I don't even know if it'll go to Brno; that's where it went last time but things changed since
like, going to asus.it then clicking on "Support" gave me a site in Italian about getting service from Italy
 
Either case, it's freaking slow.
 
now it goes straight to support.asus.com
it doesn't even set my region to Italy because the site doesn't have a fucking Italy region
"oh you're from Italy? Please call this toll phone. They'll tell you what webpage you should've found on your own."
This sucks because ASUS is one of the non-Apple companies making the best products as of late
 
11:51 AM
@badp The other option is "We don't have a page for Italy anymore, please use the New Zealand page"
 
12:10 PM
so far i have been very happy with my padfone 2 and the mobo/gfx cards i have had from ASUS

Q: Why Is Minecraft Forge Starting Up So Slowly?

EthanBaconGamingIn Minecraft 1.6 I got forge just to see what new mods are out. It took about 10 minutes to load the first time but I just thought that it was because Forge had many more files because the new launcher. Then when in Minecraft my FPS dropped from about 400 to 50 and HD resource packs loaded much...

 
12:26 PM
Pacific Rim doesn't have primire before end of the month in Denmark :(
 
*premiere?
 
12:42 PM
@badp same same but different
 
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
They just called me to give them the serial number again
so the tablet's still at the store one day later
I might not even be in Italy when this is all said and done

@fredley THEY DON'T EVEN WANT THE FOOD THEY JUST WANT YOU TO NOT HAVE THE FOOD
 
@OrigamiRobot Cats are evil. What's new?
 
@OrigamiRobot Autocad?
 
@RonanForman Yes, but no.
 
1:05 PM
@OrigamiRobot We should start that thing again where we explain why jokes are funny.
 
Mar 6 at 15:05, by OrigamiRobot
@StrixVaria This is funny because it is over the top and would actually result in things being less funny.
Although it doesn't look like it went on for quite as long as I remember.
 
Oh, I didn't see that it was a normal ping. I thought it was a reply.
@StrixVaria I can do better next time.
 
@BenBrocka This is funny because Raichu can't learn fly.
 
@fredley STOP MESSING WITH MY HEAD
 
1:09 PM
@OrigamiRobot ...
 
Our cat doesn't get in the way
 
Have you gotten circle pack 4 in 12 moves?
 
@OrigamiRobot No
 
but if ham is involved in our dinner in any way, she'll try and sit at the table with us and purr very loudly
 
@fredley I can only get it in 13 :(
 
1:10 PM
tracking our very movement for ham opportunity
 
@badp My dad had a cat that loved pop tart filling
 
@OrigamiRobot what's that made of?
 
@StrixVaria He can if you evolve the Flying Pikachu event pokemon well.actually.cat
 
Good morning, Bridge
 
@OrigamiRobot 14 :(
 
1:13 PM
@badp The souls of children? IDK
 
Does anyone use/know of high-quality microphones? I need something without sibilance
 
That's not the mike, that's the creeper in your cupboard
 
I wish it told you your move count as you went
 
@BenBrocka: considered getting a mic screen?
wait that fixes popping
nvm
 
@fredley Doesn't it display your move count in the lower right corner?
 
1:16 PM
@Arperum Oh, that's handy
 
Tunnel vision fredley is tunerqeiruwr
 
@BenBrocka: I use SM57s to record, but I've never really had issues with sybilance with anything
 
@JourneymanGeek It's a headset mic anyway, I just need a high quality desk one I think
Problem is the specs are all meaningless to me
 
(yes, its an instrumental mic, the sm58 is probably a better choice)
oh ;p
different story totally
 
there's no big checkbox that reads "This mic won't fuck up your Ses and Zs"
 
1:18 PM
@BenBrocka:oh thats normal, and no, there's no spec for that
 
@BenBrocka Raichu can't learn fly.
 
Which is annoying because that's literally the only thing I am shopping for
 
@BenBrocka I think that might be a problem caused by being to close to the mic, but I'm not sure.
 
@JourneymanGeek This guy? Looks alright at first glance
 
@OrigamiRobot Done in 13
 
1:19 PM
Can I mount it on a desk somehow? I don't have room for a stand in front of me
 
@BenBrocka You can mount anything anywhere with enough duct tape.
 
@fredley I cannot figure out a way to do it in 12 with my method so it must be a completely different way.
 
@BenBrocka: I use em with desktop stands
 
@OrigamiRobot My method looks like it can be adapted
 
something remarkably similar to one of these image.dhgate.com/albu_277726213_00-1.0x0/…
you can't directly plug one into a PC tho ;p
 
1:20 PM
@OrigamiRobot 11 moves
 
@fredley @OrigamiRobot could someone send me the link for that thing again?
 
Ah yes, done in 12 now
 
> This mic does not pick up well from much over 8 inches away. The reason so many singers think you are supposed to shove microphones practically inside your mouth is because the ball type Shure vocal mics require you to get them very close or they don't sound right. On the other hand, the SM-57 sounds best several inches away from the user's mouth and works fine up to 12 inches away
 
Yay
24 secs ago, by fredley
@OrigamiRobot 11 moves
 
@BenBrocka: I use that with a DAW... so unless you're doing fairly seriously quality sensitive work...
 
1:21 PM
@fredley Pretty much.
 
That's a bit of a concern. If I'm console gaming the mic might be more distant. Not sure where I'd stick it, really
 
lol
That is TOTALLY unsuitable for console gaming
sorry >_>
 
Steam sale starts today confirmed.
 
assumed serious recording.
 
@StrixVaria I only have $46 till Friday :(
 
1:22 PM
@JourneymanGeek Let's Plays are serious business.
@OrigamiRobot That should get you >20 games.
 
@StrixVaria Steam Sale means HL3 confirmed
 
@StrixVaria: oh yeah, then it may work
 
@fredley WAIT THAT'S IT
 
I have it worse, I'm waiting for money to get credited into paypal, and blowing a chunk of it on a nice pen ._.
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes, extend vertical line
 
1:23 PM
@JourneymanGeek Not as a headset, as in recording commentary
 
@TylerShads If HL3 isn't at least announced during this Steam sale someone might kill gaben.
 
@fredley I MISSED THAT SO MANY TIMES AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
@OrigamiRobot Haha
 
@BenBrocka: oh, then you need a DAW still
 
Trying to do 3 pack in 9 now
 
1:24 PM
 
What's this with cable/without cable business? Wireless vs wired?
 
but the SM57 (the mic mentioned in the comments) is a better all round mic
 
@StrixVaria gaben death threats mean HL4 confirmed
 
Can do in 10, but not 9 :(
 
@BenBrocka: those mics use XLR cables, I guess they assume some folk have millions of em around and don't want another cable
 
1:25 PM
@fredley That's easy.
 
@Fluttershy I'm psychic.
 
@OrigamiRobot ...
 
@StrixVaria "today confirmed" doesn't mean tomorrow. =P
 
TODAY WAS THE ELEVENTH FIVE MINUTES AGO I SWEAR
 
@fredley Hint: There is only one straight line.
 
1:25 PM
@OrigamiRobot Think I've got it
@OrigamiRobot 2...
 
@Fluttershy Tomorrow! Woo!
 
@JourneymanGeek Oh, then I want it with cable, dont' have/hadn't heard of XLR cables before. Hrm wonder if I'll have to upgrade my sound card, not sure how great the clarity is on my onboard one. Using a USB headset right now
 
Octagon in 15 next
@OrigamiRobot That is 2
 
@BenBrocka: external sound card
mine's out of production tho ;p
 
@OrigamiRobot You are an idiot
 
1:27 PM
IGNORE ME
5
 
Who said that?
 
@JourneymanGeek Bleh not sure I'd want to bother with one of those, I have more PCI room than USB room anyway
 
@BenBrocka: yeah ;p
 
1:28 PM
@StrixVaria grats
 
I assume I'll have to buy a stand separate? What do you use?
 
@BenBrocka: just some random one I got locally
 
@badp That is not me.
I don't have $65 worth of MS points.
 
I do have €16 in Steam Credit
Wonder how I'll spend it.
 
@fredley CIRCLE PACK 4 IN ORIGIN NEXT
 
1:30 PM
Guys. I am three parts away from building my computer. Or maybe 4. I forget which. Steam sale is counterproductive to my finished PC!
 
@OrigamiRobot easy
 
@Fluttershy buy top of the line games that will only run on your new computer!
 
I wonder if they'll continue giving people a quarter (?) for their birthday now that it's readily apparent how much of a joke the "gift" is
 
@Fluttershy Welcome to life, where you have to prioritize conflicting goals.
 
that'll be plenty of motivation :P
 
1:31 PM
@fredley Yea, I just have to do it.
 
@Fluttershy Sell your computer to buy computer games! ...wait
 
@BenBrocka <_< No.
 
Sell your games to buy your computer!!
 
@BenBrocka That sounds like a solution I'd give.
 
1:32 PM
Hmmm, Octagon in 17
 
And then complain that people are picky because they didn't define their problem space well enough.
 
@Fluttershy: these days computers only really have like CPU RAM VIDEO MOTHERBOARD CASE....
so... you're like missing most of a computer ;p
can't temporarily salvage whats missing?
 
the Faerie Solitaire cards are going for a lot considered that it's pretty much a $0 game
 
16
 
Dota 2 is officially launching!
 
1:34 PM
15!!
 
This means no more inventory clutter!
 
Now dodec in 20...
 
@JourneymanGeek I have the case, CPU, mb, video card, and power supply. I need a hard drive, ram, and optical drive.
 
@Fluttershy: the ram's the real showstopper there
my desktop dosen't have an optical drive ;p
not a big hinderance
 
I'd sell plasma to finish the damn thing if I could. >_>
 
1:35 PM

Q: Can my graphic card play my game?

user51612Recently i bought NFS MW 2 but after the installition when i come to play it then the game does noy play and says "A directx 10 or better graphic card is required.Please ensure that you are using a supported graphic card with upto date drivers."I have installed windows 7 which shows that there is...

 
@Fluttershy: my current desktop was upgraded piece by piece from an old dell 530, into something with a IB core i7 ;p
took close to a year of saving
in theory I can steal a proper optical drive or a HDD if I needed one off another computer
 
@JourneymanGeek I don't have anything I can scavenge. I'm piecing it together from scratch.
 
@Fluttershy: at all ? o0
 
At all.
 
@Fluttershy What about your current computer?
 
1:38 PM
(oh, the old computer was in a dumpster ;p)
 
@fbueckert It is a laptop.
 
@Fluttershy Ahh. Well, yeah, those parts don't work so well.
 
actually...
3 of the 4 drives in my desktop are laptop drives
 
Yep. No big deal, though. One more paycheck and it'll be complete.
 
same connectors for sata
 
1:41 PM
and my final score is €16,54 + 1 mystery card + 1 TF2 badge + 1 engineer background
 
Unrelated: It's kinda sad that there's only one game I'm wanting to get during the Steam sale.
 
I hope FF7 goes on sale even though it just launched.
 
@Fluttershy My wishlist is at a record length but I don't think many of those there will drop enough for me to feel comfy
 
My wish list is mostly just there to remind me about the games I thought were neat. I only intend to buy one of them if it goes on sale.
 
lol
I have no wishlist.
I just get games that look interesting
 
1:45 PM
Hi, I am from North Korea
 
@NoneOfYourBusiness ಠ___ಠ
 
@Fluttershy Which one?
@NoneOfYourBusiness Dude, seriously?
Do you have to start with that right off the bat? Again?
 
Gah, dodec in 21
 
That's what got you suspended from chat the last time.
 
1:49 PM
I can get suspended from chat because I am from North Korea?
 
@fbueckert nah.
 
no, I prefer not to run
 
Oh, for heaven's sake.
 
Dodecahedron in 20!
 
I think you guys are hostile for whatever reason because I didnt do anything
 
1:51 PM
North Korea is at odds with the rest of the world, if you hadn't noticed.
Your country threatening us with nukes is enough to pre-empt hostilities.
 
AFAIK North Korea is not actually connected to the internet
 
Let's avoid insulting each other for a change
2
 
To be fair, I'm jumping in here without prior context and as far as I can read, there's no instigation other than the declaration of origin and I can't see why we're getting up in a rut here about that.
 
We see straight through his attempt at trolling.
If he was in North Korea, chances are he wouldn't be using his smuggled internet access to talk about video games.
 
@ShotgunNinja If you just ignore his attempt to troll he'll get bored and leave.
If he escalates his trolling he'll eventually be suspended.
 
1:53 PM
@GraceNote There's two scenarios here. A) Said declaration of origin is true and it was indeed an innocent mention and everyone is crapping their pants over nothing. B) It's false and an attempt at trolling, yet again - with an inherently controversial topic.
 
My parents fled north korea in 1975 just so you know. You gonna tell off East Germans too if they fled the communist germany prior 1989?
 
@FEichinger Why does it even have to be a topic at all? If it's false, why don't we just move on and not talk about it?
 
I just realised, we can effectively hellban people if we all put them on ignore.
 
@GraceNote Last time he was here, he compared us (and @WorldEngineer in particular) to North Korea due to our policies. He didn't do it in a tactful way.
Just so you know the context.
 
I see.
 
1:55 PM
@Wipqozn Sorry guys, but you are the only ones escalating anything here. I was just greeting. But looks like I cannot be here without getting jumped on by the usual people.
 
@GraceNote I'm not justifying anything, or partaking in it. It's just that it's not unreasonable to expect the mere mention to become an issue.
 
Oh you're the "move minecraft to it's own subreddit" guy?
lol.
 
Lest we actually jump back on that train, though, I wouldn't do anything.
 
I like updates, chance for MOAR REPS.
 
@NoneOfYourBusiness: maybe you could consider greeting in another way?
@fredley: or just pretend to ignore them
 
1:56 PM
We won! Smash is back baby! #Evo2013 #hype
 
which is often even more hillarious
 
@JourneymanGeek There are many facets of ignorance
 
@tombull89 And I still think its a good idea to have an own section for minecraft
 
@Wipqozn I hope this is true.
 
@Wipqozn Nintendo PR is almost on Microsoft levels of disjointedness.
 
1:56 PM
did it on IRC, convinced someone he was blocked ;p
 
@StrixVaria It is.
 
@JourneymanGeek Right......GO
 
They reversed course when the internet backlash hit.
 
@NoneOfYourBusiness I don't. That's why you can ignore the "minecraft" tag. Job done.
 
@fbueckert I don't think it was PR. It was probably just the legal part of the company taking action, and then another part realizing what they did.
 
1:57 PM
Let's not go back to discussing Minecraft "subreddits", which actually was what got @NoneOfYourBusiness banned last time
 
@Wipqozn Could've been. Let's hope the legal department got a slapdown.
 
@OrigamiRobot Dodec in 20 does actually only require one line
 
@GraceNote Suspending everyone involved does seem to be the only way to get the Bridge to change direction and talk about something else ;-)
 
That kind of stuff happens in big companies. Left hand doesn't know about right hand et cetear
 
@Wipqozn In an ideal world, they also get taken to task for doing something so obviously stupid.
 
1:58 PM
@fbueckert Eh, depends on if it's their first offense. Everyone makes mistakes every now and again. If it's the first time it's happened then they could just be told to be more careful.
 
@fredley Haven't even tried dodec- penta- or octo- yet
 
@fbueckert They may not have realized it was for a charity. Just a regular for profit tournament.
 
@OrigamiRobot Octagon is easy.
 
@OrigamiRobot I've done everything now except penta
 
@OrigamiRobot Dodecagon and ocatgon are simple.
 
1:59 PM
@Wipqozn It's probably the same thing that happened with their Let's Play fiasco, I bet. That got quietly reversed a little after it hit mainstream.
