Oh that's cute, you can get half the DOD:S achievement solo, but not the other half.
cp_kalt or whatever requires two people to capture the bridge.

Q: Can't find the lord I need to talk to in Mount & Blade. Where is he?

dierreI'm stuck. I'm in Curaw and I need to speak to Lord Naldera but he's not in the castle. Where should I find this Lord and in general the Lord?

 
12:46 AM
Well that's annoying.
Has anyone unlocked Steampunk Mr Foster in Killing Floor?
I have 10/13 achievements, but it did not unlock him
oh nevermind, scratch that
figured out what ti was

Q: What is the most powerfull Jets'n'Guns weapon that can be used with rotary cage?

jkjThe game is Jets'n'Guns. I'm heavy user of Rotary Cage and like to aim a bit instead of just blasting. The biggest guns such as Chronitron Rifle, Tesla devastator and the big laser just shoot straight forward. What is the biggest gun that can also be turned?

 
2:00 AM
Ugh... I really don't like Doc Clock. cheats another achievement
 
lmao I was going through recent questions and was like "Why the hell are all these fish related questions updated?" before I realized @Raven was doing some tagging maintenance
 
2:40 AM
@Powerlord - I said the same thing.
Except instead of cheating, I just gave up.
Has anyone here played Darksiders? I'm having trouble killing a thing, and I could use a help.
Though apparently a quick googling implies I shouldn't be killing a thing at all.
Carry on. Crises averted.

Q: When does the day start for League of Legends?

Nick THow does the 'First Win of the Day' IP bonus timer work? Does it reset at some specific time each day? Does the IP bonus gained vary depending on the game type; PvP vs. beginner bots vs. intermediate bots?

 
3:15 AM
There, caught up on tickets.
And redeemed everything I could for the games I own, and the game on there. And still have 9 tickets left.
I suppose I could unlock things for games I might get...

5:14 AM
@Loktar Which one?
 
Its the summer one
level 5-6
cant lose a single cube
forget the name of it now, its the last one on the achievement list
goes to bed
 
@Loktar What makes you think that's the summer one though?
 
idk, people are assuming because its so new
Portal 2 - Talent Show
heres a list of potential upcoming ones
 
It's new?
 
yeah that achievement was just added like 2 days ago
 
5:22 AM
Hm. I can remember it being there before, weird.
I'm probably confused with iron grip.

Q: If I restart Fable 3, do I get to keep any of my weapons or equipment from the previous game?

blueberryfieldsSince there doesn't seem to be a way to try alterante endings (without restarting and losing my save), do I at least get the benefit from previous run throughs?

0
Q: Is there a black version of the chicken suit, without having to paint it?

blueberryfieldsIn Fable-3, are there multiple ways to get the chicken suit, ending in multiple default suit colors?

 
8:04 AM
@ArdaXi Me too actually, isn't it the achievement for doing the square jumpy thing right at the first time?
5-19 GOT!
2 more levels.
gah, 5-20 is another annoying as fuck level.
@ArdaXi It is a summer one.
For some reason the achievement is localized in Italian like this:
> ?ACH_SUMMER_SALE_T?
 
8:24 AM
Ah.
 
> ?ACK_SUMMER_SALE_D?
Fancy trying it now?
Oh, right, you don't actually earn tickets. Nevermind.
:P
 
I detest that.
I've earnt every single one of my Portal 2 achievements.
I don't mind trying, no idea which chamber it is again.
 
I see I forgot to specify novid for Portal 2.
 
Okay, Mobility Gels Chamber 6.
Did you reset your progress?
 
My progress is the result of the mucking around we did that time
I haven't played since
 
8:33 AM
Oh God. Not this one.
 
8:47 AM
That wasn't too bad after all.
 
This was a triumph.
 
keep in mind you can only press the button once
pressing it twice loses a cube
@ArdaXi
 
Yeah, I know.
But I've got the timing exactly right now.
At your highest point, right before the first plate.
I'm making a note here, huge success.
@badp Q to gesture, I make the bridge.
 
9:14 AM
Yay, for all nighters programming

Q: the game i can't identify

matias notthe main character was a "blue ball" in the game. it was 2d shooting game (like mario) the ball was carrying machine-guns and was a bloody game at all. i was playing it 8 years ago but i can't remember it..

Q: Is there api to Blizzard's Warcraft 3 (Not World of Warcraft_

Mad-scientistIs there any way to get the number of players in current game or the names of players?

 
The @badp. It floats!

actually you should already have one time for the achievement

Q: (How) Is it possible to set the language for all games at steam?

Tobias KienzlerWhile I don't exactly loathe the censorship called "low violence version" for some games steam sells (e.g. Fallout 3) I do detest being forced to play games in a language different than the original one, which is usually English - especially since I often experience terrible mistranslations and ...

Q: I get no sound when playing Oilrush 0.71

pmanolovI've just installed v0.71 and I get no sound when playing. I have no problem with sounds in other applications. Do you have any ideas what might cause this Thanks, Peter

 
11:01 AM
What. X3 greys out Antialiasing if I pick windowed mode.
 
Woo, got a soda popper.
It's been a while since I've been excited about a drop :P
 
11:15 AM
Hoodoo fourth point how do I hate you
okay, so
- run for a few seconds with the popper (reach the 'P')
- whip out bonk
- reach point
- use bonk
- whip out popper - tricky
now if only I could use those crits
 
 
2 hours later…
1:08 PM
@badp It's the second point I hate.
 
@Powerlord It's not... particularly bad. That, or the server I play hoodoo on doesn't know how to camp it.
 
@badp A good RED team can defend point 2 and stalemate it. It used to be Hoodoo didn't get a lot of play time due to that.
 
Yeah, Hoodoo is full of chokepoints
Demo paradise.
 
Civ World on Facebook is really terrible, 60% CPU usage on a E8400 for a casual online game? The game mechanics are badly explained, very buggy and not really fun. That's what I get for checking out a Facebook game just because it is called Civ
 
and now the third line of my crates page is full!
hooray!
 
1:24 PM
@badp Normal crates or are there Summer Crates in there too?
 
normal crates only
 
And, say, what would you want for your series 20 and 21 crates? :P
 
we have a pending trade too about that milkman stuff
 
Oh, totally forgot about that.
Are you saying you want to do that now?
 
well, certainly at some point
I don't really care about the crate with the heavy stuff
 
1:35 PM
Hrm, I've still got too many crates.
 
how many crates is one key? :P

Q: Elapsed Cycles in SpaceChem

DrakeWhen an assignment is completed in SpaceChem there is a summary with statistics about your solution. What I do not understand is if it is better have high elapsed cycles or low. Because if I have 172 and 214, it tells me 214 is the best, but it seems a contradiction to me. Is it correct? Do you ...

 
2:12 PM
@Fabian I'm pretty sure they expected everyone would just try it out since it just has Civ in the name (like you did)
EASY MONEY

Q: If CityVille is served by facebook servers, why would Zynga need to rent Amazon facilities?

jccZynga is Amazon's big customer in public cloud. But, when I play CityVille, the URL is served from facebook's server. It looks confusing to me. Can anyone explain the architecture and share of work among Zynga, facebook and amazon? Thanks.

Q: Activate Mass Effect 1 on Steam

AnzeoI bought ME1 from retail (years ago), before it was released on Steam, so it's currently not linked to my Steam account. Is it possible to activate it yet?

 
@badp I honestly don't know.
 
2:55 PM
Hm, ArmA II actually gives me motion sickness on the standard settings.
 
3:21 PM

Q: Quick! Should I buy Mass Effect Pack on Steam at $19.99? Or just ME2 at $17.00?

Augustus ThooThing is, I've bought ME1 on disc in 2008. It crashed a lot until I gave up playing it altogether. The offer on Steam ends in 2 hours (as of this writing). Should I get both or just ME2?

Q: Are save games shared between games bought on Games on Demand and DVD?

MdaGIf I buy a title on disc through retail and later buy the same title through Games on Demand (XBOX Live), will the save games carry over? I'm thinking about Earth Defence Force 2017 in particular.

 
4:42 PM
 
user30
@badp Depends what series. #7-18 will get you a scrap for every 8 crates, 9 scrap in a refined, so 72 crates for a refined, and 2.33-2.66 ref for a key depending on who you trade with, so about 168 #7-18 crates for a key.
 
5:01 PM
New deals.
 
sigh The Portal 2 achievement is in there.
 
Oak
Hmm, it might be the time to buy portal 2
 
Anyone ever played the X games?
X3 Terran Conflict, etc?
What are they like?
 
I don't know, I like Terran Conflict, but it's a bit tedious
I've only played a little while though.
Great, I've got 8 spare tickets.
But hey, as @badp is my witness, I got one of them legitimately.
 
X games can be VEEeeeEery slow
but they are the closest thing currently to a modern day Elite
 
5:12 PM
@Loktar Reminds me of EVE Online. A lot.
 
Ive never played that, but want to try
I hear its pretty unforgiving though
 
Quite.
 
I hope tomorrows tickets arent insane :?
Ill be done with todays in about 2 hours I think
 
user30
Ahhh, terraria. ±_±
 
lol the PAM ticket is just dumb..
adjust a settings slider..
 
5:29 PM
Someone wanna do the Portal 2 achievement with me?

Q: What was the outcome of the CoH public beta?

ZsubI can't really find a thread detailing the final adjustments on the official Relic forums. I believe there was an update of the 'regular' CoH after the beta, so I'd like to know what they put in :)

 
7:14 PM
Now €2.5 for Terraria is relatively reasonable
 
user30
I bought it like 3 days ago
 
Guys, give me your thoughts on

Q: Way to capture video while playing Red Alert 2

Nakilon Possible Duplicate: How can I record demos of my gameplay? I like FRAPS, but it fails on RA2. In the first american mission game always crashes at the same second – after Statue of Liberty ruins and Romanov begins to talk. Google shows me, that this problem really exists, but I can't f...

Yukon. I never played this map properly
TIL: I have 300-340 ping towards @Juan
 
@badp If he wants a way to make FRAPs work with RA2, then I'd say it's fine, but if he is just looking for another video capture tool then it's an exact duplicate.
Although if none of the video tools in the other question work with RA2, then I would think that would be it's own question
that is to say "Video tools which work with RA2" or "how to make video tools work with RA2"
but unless he has taken the time to try every video tool in the other question (which I don't think he has), then the question is a duplicate
 
7:46 PM
@badp we need to meet somewhere in-between
but I was just trying a server in my country
I prefer the ones in the states
bbl
 
bah that X3 Achievement sucked
 
8:14 PM
I hate being one shot as scout by rockets
HE HAD NO HITPOINTS
 
8:40 PM
Woohoo. Quick Fix.
@ThomasMcDonald want your sandman back?
I got the achievement one
 
user30
Alright
 
Hrm, so many Uber update drops I got this week
 
user30
many thanks
 
The winger, the soda popper, the family business, the quick fix.
 
user30
I have had no Uber update drops so far
 
8:47 PM
The soda popper is an interesting gun. It'd own if I could hit the broad side of a heavy with it
 
user30
but I haven't played under this weeks drops
 
...or any shotgun
 
note to self
 
@badp My tags were perfectly adequate.
 
8:56 PM
if I want soldiers to not oneshot me I should unequip the candy cane
@GnomeSlice ← 0 questions
2
 
@badp I see no problem with this tag.
 
Yeah! I see no problem with ithingy having 0 questions.
Why'd you want to change that.
 
@badp That question count would surely be different if you'd stop editing it out of my questions.
ಥ_ಥ
 
So ithingy is about questions about stuff running ios when asked by GnomeSlice?
ಥ__ಥ
 
@badp Eh, that sounds like it could work.
ಠ▃ಠ
 
8:59 PM
@GnomeSlice I have enough of ad-personam things around me. I should know, just look at my PM.
ಥ___ಥ
 
@badp But wouldn't this be for me, rather than you?
 
@GnomeSlice Ad personam laws aren't for me either.
 
@badp Oh wait, "around me". For some reason, I read that as "about me".
Galcon fusion is on sale via the Steam Network for 66% off. ($3.40 USD)
Oh man, that looks amazing... The iPhone version of Galcon has such a smaller play area...
 
9:15 PM
I decided to not buy Terraria after all at the Paypal screen.
 
Galcon part of Steam Summer Cam sale: http://bit.ly/nsFVR7 - get the achievement first!
 
@Powerlord Was a pleasure
 
9:31 PM
oh my goodness Turba's achievement was such a pain...
very interesting concept for a music based game though
match 3 that uses your music library
 
wait
Critical mad milk?
Does that even make any sense?
 
lol no
you get extra healing from the target when damage is done or something?
 
Well Jarate can crit, but it's only a visual effect.
I'm going to assume it's the same with Mad Milk.
"It is possible for a player to throw a "critical" Mad Milk with a team-colored effect, but the effect is purely cosmetic."
 
user30
Woo, unboxed the spy suit
 
9:47 PM
@KevinY Thanks
 
10:27 PM
I have 3 frontier justices... should I trade them or use them in crafting?
 
OK, either I got all my drops on Wednesday night, or the TF2 drop system is currently not working.
@JuanManuel Well, it's an achievement unlock, so likely crafting. Just make sure you don't craft the achievement unlocked one if you have it, as it's no trade.
Although that's less of an issue in the new crafting system.
By default, it won't use untradeable items.
 
11:08 PM
What is with not being able to see my mouse cursor when playing Fullscreen games?
Great soundtrack, by Tim Inge
 
11:39 PM
@Powerlord I hate the new crafting system.
I always end up clicking Show Full Backpack and crafting like before.
I wish there was an option to change it back...
