Q: Does the damage bonus from Two-Handed-Style apply to spells?

Mad ScientistI just got to choose my first talent and noticed that the Two-Handed-Style talent provides quite a substantial damage bonus. As I'm wielding a staff as a wizard right now, this looks quite handy if it actually applies to my spells as well as my staff damage. The description doesn't seem entirely...

 
watch now imperial courier be exactly what i want
multi-role but has considerable firepower.
 
@fredley I made a Cipher.
Ciphers own, FYI.
Ciphers with Blunderbuss's even more so.
 
Damn you Cipher
 
7:05 PM
MENTALIST WITH A SHOTGUN.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz HOW DARE YOU HAVE ANY DEALINGS WITH THE ONE KNOWN AS BILL CIPHER!
 
In other news, just one my third CS:GO competitive match. Had a really great team and almost top-fragged. 5 more kills and I woulda thirty-bombed
 
@fredley Also, I hope you gave Rincewind pathetic Intellect and a ton of Might, in truest of fashions.
 
DAMMIT I WANT TO PLAY PILLARS
 
7:07 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Of course
No perception
@MattGiltaji All you have to do is buy it
 
@fredley its bought and preloaded on my machine at home
 
@fredley Muscle Wizard is Best Wizard.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Battle Mage
 
@fredley No, Muscle Wizard.
Hit things over the head with a really heavy spell book.
 
Oops
Starts playing Pillars of Eternity... It is suddenly several hours later

7:11 PM
@KevinvanderVelden yes, this is exactly what i crave
 
@KevinvanderVelden Pretty Much.
@KevinvanderVelden What are you playing!
 
@KevinvanderVelden such escapism
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz elf cipher
 
guess who's back
 
Back again
 
7:12 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Ciphers own.
Elves suck, but this can be forgiven.
@KevinvanderVelden Be sure to get a Blunderbuss for maximum cheese.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm also like "Wait, you're a cypher... how do you not know this?" at the beginning
 
"I think we've found an exit" - nope, lets go back, we haven't explored that tile maze yet
 
@KevinvanderVelden you're from the other side of the world or some bullshit. And also, duh rpg. Can't play the memory loss card every time.
@fredley You mean the 6x6 block of traps? :P
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz this is true =p
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I deactivated most of them
 
7:13 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz my party only walked in to the traps twice! Stupid pathfinding
@fredley did you find the trick in the other room?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Which trick?
I put the gem in the eye socket
 
@fredley there are pillars
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yes, I lit the braziers
 
And I'm out
MONOLITH ROCKET
 
7:16 PM
Hehe
I'm starting it back up to find out the name so I can ask a question
At least, that is the plan
Ooh I don't have to load the game it's in the save game name
 
@fredley I expected the tile puzzle to reveal something else, was slightly disappointed when it turned out to be a simple shortcut to the exit I already found earlier
 
COOKING WITH TIM CAIN DOWNLOADED. WOO.
 
anyone have bloodbourne yet?
 
oh shit slow cooker recipes
 
It's in the mail... gets here tomorrow.
 
7:21 PM
Tim Cain you wonderful bastard
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Meat goes in pot. Sauce goes in pot. Slow cook. Go to work. Come home. Tasty meat in pot.

@MadMAxJr same i hope
 
(small chance of house burning down)
 
Boss is cursing at IT. All is right in the world.

Q: Temple of Eorthas

Kevin van der VeldenIn the Temple of Eorthas there are 3 bells that you have to ring to (presumably) open the door to the next level. I've found one clue, that the large bell is to be rang second, where can I find the other clues (or what is the actual order).

 
7:23 PM
I ALMOST WROTE "PYTHONGS"
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah. That first one sounded pretty tasty.
 
THAT'S A DIFFERENT THING
 
@OrigamiRobot why no kinetics anymore?
 
Do I want to enter the Bear Cave?
 
7:24 PM
VULTURE OPENED MY EYES
 
@OrigamiRobot @Rapitor have been out of the ed game for a few weeks anything major on the go?
 
1.3 IS CALLED POWER PLAY AND THAT'S ALL WE KNOW ABOUT IT
 
and it has 2 more ships
imperial courier and fed corvette
 
so nothing i haven't seen
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz This sounds tasty
 
7:26 PM
I've accumulated a rather large amount of crap already, and I'm just barely out of the first area. I'll have to clean up my stash pretty soon, or I won't find anything useful in there
 
@Rapitor THAT'S NOT CONFIRMED TMK
THOSE ARE JUST THE OTHER TWO WE'VE SEEN EVER
 
they've been teasing them in the weekly updates. it'd be pretty cruel to not have them in the next major update
 
THE CORVETTE WAS SHOWN PRE-1.2
 
I got rekt by the bear
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That sounds kinda good.
 
7:29 PM
I need creds

Q: How does one level up?

fredleyIn my log I saw a message saying I had earned enough experience points to level up! But I can't work out how to do it... I looked in the Character tab, where I expected to find it, but no such luck. How do I level up?

 
@fredley what difficulty are you playing on?
 
@TheAce go to planet with rings, resource extraction sites, profit
 
I'd say my best bet is to wing up with you guys some night and tag along
 
@KevinvanderVelden Easy :(
 
7:30 PM
@Rapitor I know how it's just boring alone
 
@TheAce I don't think I'm near the group. My home is in Beta-1 Tucanae.
 
IN FACT, THE NEWSLETTER THAT FIRST SHOWED THE CORVETTE SAID "sneaking a look at March's Update 1.2 in our Peek Of The Week."
WHICH IT OBVIOUSLY WASN'T IN
 
@Rapitor don;t have a home i just go wherever lol
 
@fredley Huh, I shot it three times and the bear died on easy
 
7:32 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I hereby dub thee LessPrep_MoreFood
 
@MadScientist I was first D:
 
@KevinvanderVelden 5 seconds ;-)
 
I can get it down to one health
 
@MadScientist uhhuh =p
 
Rincewind is shit
 
7:32 PM
@fredley no ur shit
 
I remember the days of the contests, during the ME3 one if you didn't have a fully detailed answer with screenshots inside 5-10 minutes, someone else would get most of the points with a much better answer
 
ok, that time I one-shotted it with a magic missile
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz this is acceptable.
 
@fredley Wait, Rincewind? What are you playing?
 
So, I've got Brighthouse Networks for TV/Internet. AT&T comes knocking at my door last Friday offering a better bundle. Faster internet, more channels, $40 less/month, an extra DVR box, and free installation. So I say I'll switch. Yesterday they're supposed to install it, so I leave work early, but they ran the line to the wrong house, and they eventually had to reschedule for today
 
7:34 PM
@SaintWacko He named his Wizard Rincewind.
 
@SaintWacko Pillars of Eternity
 
If the pasta has tomato sauce on it however you can just reheat it on a pan for a few minutes. That works fine.
 
Today they get there and do the installation, and I'm supposed to get 18 Mbps. I'm getting <2. They can't get it faster.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Very nice
 
And they also can't reconnect my old internet. So now I have to get Brighthouse to come hook it back up, THEN get AT&T to disconnect theirs. And pay Brighthouse to reconnect
 
So this is where I tell AT&T to suck it.
 
I'm really bummed about top gear
 
@GnomeSlice it'll just happen on a different TV channel. Unless the trio just decides to call it quits anyway
They would have called it quits anyway sooner or later.
 
@badp BBC owns the rights to the program, they bought them from Clarkson a number of years ago.
Gutted at such a sad end to an era. We're all three of us idiots in our different ways but it's been an incredible ride together.
 
@GnomeSlice yeah, so they won't be able to call it Top Gear
 
7:38 PM
Move them over to AMC, since they're anything but classic movies now.
 
Recently a rather popular TV show host in Italy changed TV networks. The old TV network kept the program and the studio, the host brought the whole staff with him and kept the formula, then rebranded.
 
@badp "ultimate sprocket"
 
> However, in a hint that the Top Gear contingent may be planning to work together again, they were spotted together – minus Mr Hammond who lives in Herefordshire – following a secret meeting in London today.
> The apparent show of solidarity comes after insiders revealed that Mr Wilman, the executive producer who created the show's format with Clarkson, and Hammond will also refuse to make any further episodes without the former frontman.
Last night, following the announcement that Clarkson had been dropped by the corporation, Mr Wilman could be seen leaving his close friend's apartment.
 
Continued work is not rocket science but I think the trio will think of this as a natural stopping point
 
@GnomeSlice me too, but knowing them they will just go somewhere else. there was talks about the 3 just going straight to netflix
 
7:40 PM
...and one preferable to having to stop because one of the three dudes won't wake up from coma, hint hint
 
May is apparently considering becoming a teacher.
 
@GnomeSlice so these other guys are not worried about being punched out?
 
@MattGiltaji Apparently not.
 
Oh man, James May as a teacher?
"Today class, we're going to build your classroom. Out of Lego."
 
@MadMAxJr after i tire of pillars, i would want to be in that class
 
7:44 PM
My parents are going to Europe for the first time ever this year and my father was really hoping to see a studio show of Top Gear
Guess that's not happening now...

Q: What's the point of slow mode/half speed?

Mad ScientistThere is a button that enables slow mode where your characters only move half as fast. What exactly is the point of this mode? Scouting is a separate mode with clear benefits, but I don't really see the point of moving at half speed. Are there any benefits to this mode?

Q: I cant go onto minecraft

Q: Where are my Saved Games kept, and can I back them up?

LessPop_MoreFizzI'm intrigued by Pillars of Eternity's Trial of Iron mode (essentially, IronMan mode, in which, to reinforce Permadeath, the game creates only one save file, and deletes all old save files each time a new one is created, as well as on character death). Thing is, what with the game being so new, ...

 
... Wonder what they're going to do with the indestructible truck from the Top Gear studio.
 
@GnomeSlice where in Europe? London?
 
@MadMAxJr probably drive it.
 
@badp A bunch of places. London first, then they're doing some two-week river cruise starting at Budapest.
My mother is full blooded Hungarian but she's never been there
 
7:46 PM
@GnomeSlice I see. Sounds nice.
 
There's already a save game editor o.o
 
@KevinvanderVelden its been out for < 4 hours?!
 
i'm probably th only one who cares, but still..
 
7:48 PM
@GnomeSlice are they going all the way to Croatia/Istria? I've been there and it's pretty nice
 
@badp My dad says no.
 
Fair enough
 
It would be cool if they started their own motoring program. With blackjack. And hookers.
 
@KevinvanderVelden There was a beta for backers that offered basically a chance to play around with character builds and no narrative content of worth
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz aah that makes sense
That's enough to start a basic save game editor
 
7:52 PM
FUCK YOU AT&T
They're refusing to pay for me to get my old service hooked back up
The thing they unhooked so that they could give me the thing that didn't work like they said it would
 
@Wipqozn you've gotten 2 games for the price of one!
 
@KevinvanderVelden I wouldn't call buying a PS4 the price of one game.
 
@Arperum well, he was getting the PS4 for bloodborne, so they count as one together
 
@KevinvanderVelden he also got 5 copies of bat rats
 
7:56 PM
@KevinvanderVelden uhm... That's one pricey game.
 
@Arperum Yes
 
@Wipqozn Can you get this at EB Games or Walmart or something?
 
@Wipqozn BEST DAY
 
@GnomeSlice The last of us bundle? Most palces sell it
 
@Sterno Every telecom company is a scumbag.
 
7:58 PM
Oh I thought it came with bloodborne too
 
@Wipqozn If it helps, I think karma is costing me about $150 in cable service fees and a lost day of work
 
@Sterno I hope your daughter grows up to be a Lifehacks.SE mod.
@Sterno That's fair.
 
I like @Wipqozn's style. He buys directly from some dude's chair.
 
@Sterno IT has the best deals!
 
So is it official. Should I ship off those Bad Rats copies?
 
7:59 PM
@Sterno IT's official.
