9:00 PM
@GraceNote He got a special page with just him and ~100 other people on it.
He cares more because he's a mod, I mean.
 
I think he posted it because he always announces whenever a new feature is available on the engine.
 
especially if his name is on it
 
so @GraceNote, whenabouts do you play lols
 
@NickT Usually after I finish work I'll try to get my first win of the day, then the rest of the access depends on how busied I am
 
ah; gimme a shout here if you're down for more
 
9:08 PM
@GraceNote Yeah, but then he said "weee".
 
@NickT Sounds good
 
user15026
Hooray, nabbed Bit.Trip Saga for 3DS for 20 bucks off f Amazon. :D
 
@AshleyNunn Me too! Should be here tomorrow or the day after!
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer Mine won't be here til next week (international shipping) but that is totally okay with me
 
user15026
because it was way better than paying full price on Amazon.ca
 
9:12 PM
@AshleyNunn I did not know you were international.
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer I be a Canadian. :)
 
user15026
Also, they say 8-10 days, but I have had things as quick as 4 days
 
@AshleyNunn Psh. That's not international.

Q: Penalty for "Game Over"?

JohnI'm not sure where I picked up this habit, but nowadays when I play a video game, if I ever get to the point where the screen is about to announce a "Game Over", I immediately shut off the console so that the "Game Over" doesn't register. I think I'm trying to keep my play record immaculate, in ...

Q: What is Centering?

Matthew ReadAfter a certain level some of my moves appear to build up something called Centering that wears off after a certain number of seconds. I think I skipped the description of this accidentally and I can't find anything online. What does Centering do and what causes it to build?

 
user15026
....do you get mail on a Saturday?
 
9:13 PM
Canada is like the America of the north.
@AshleyNunn FEDex, not mail
 
user15026
According to their shipping, it is, ;)
 
and the chat is bugging out for me again
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer Ah.
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer Or are you the Canada of the South?
 
@AshleyNunn If Canada is America's hat, is America Canada's shoes?
 
user15026
9:14 PM
YES
 
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
I just realized @AshleyNunn is Canadian! Awesome.
 
or are we the shirt, and Mexico is the pants?
 
Well Canada is bigger and on top, so if this was prison...
 
user15026
@IanPugsley That is a very good question
 
user15026
That does make me picture North America sort of like a mermaid wearing a hat though
 
user15026
9:15 PM
@Wipqozn grins with you, I never know if it is for real good, or good like haha more to tease you about ;)
 
It also makes Mexico the country that gets crapped in the most, which isn't very nice
 
user15026
@IanPugsley you have a very valid point.
 
@AshleyNunn Arda and America are kinda close...
 
@Ullallulloo You... what?
What.
 
user15026
9:18 PM
@Ullallulloo Arda is a mermaid?
 
The mermaid thing is fine, but American? That's too far.
flags offensive
 
@AshleyNunn oh, not, it's good. Canada is awesome. You know why? Because I live in Canada.
 
@ArdaXi flags offensive back
 
I'm thinking of making a G.SE/christmas time-lapse tomorrow, anyone want to help/have any ideas?
 
@Wipqozn eh?
 
9:19 PM
@ArdaXi @Ullallulloo oh noo you guys, we'll get yelled at again
 
@Ullallulloo Flags for moderator attention.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn grins I KNEW there was a logical reason for its awesomeness.
 
@IanPugsley I usually do the yelling, actually.
The mods are too lazy to yell.
 
Hey @Arda have you seen Tim minchin's new video?
 
@ArdaXi flags for dev attention
 
9:20 PM
@RonanForman The Jonathan Ross one?
@Ullallulloo flags for undivided attention
 
Yeah.
 
@Ullallulloo That's right @Ullallulloo! You've had the privilege of living in the same country as me all this time! Lucky you!
 
@Wipqozn I live in the United States of America.
 
@Ullallulloo I thought you were Canadian.
 
America is a continent
 
9:22 PM
Are you sure you live the United States?
 
@Wipqozn Pretty sure...
 
@Ullallulloo Sorry, I think you're mistaken.
 
No mooses and mounties.
 
Little did he know the USA are really just one piece of the Secret Greater Empire of Canadia.
 
@badp which of the continents is "America"?
 
9:23 PM
@IanPugsley the one going from Canada to Chile
 
@badp You got your Alaskamerica, Canadamerica, Regular America, Mexico, and double Mexico
 
@RonanForman I did.
 
I wonder if people in South America have anything funny to say about Canadians
 
@IanPugsley Also known as Nothern Canadia, Canadian Canadia, Central Canadian, Spicy Canadia and Southern Canadia
 
@badp what about upside-down Canadia (Antarctica)?
 
9:26 PM
@IanPugsley Well you hadn't listed it so.
Wait, isn't that Free-handed Circled Canadia?
 
@IanPugsley ¿A ellos les gusta dantas y jarabe de arce bebida, eh?
 
nobody lives there, so it's not a real America
@Ullallulloo no hablo Mexican
 
It's okay, nobody lives in 80% of Canada anyway

(IIRC)
 
@badp It's funny because it's true.
 
haha holy shit I just realized I live in NC, I need to stop making jokes before someone takes me seriously
I'll get elected to a seat in Congress if I'm not careful
 
9:27 PM
@IanPugsley North Carolina or North Canadia?
 
wouldn't that be N©?
oh, you thought © was for Copyright.
 
@Ullallulloo North Carolina
there are no mean/racist people in Canada, you could have guessed
 
user15026
@IanPugsley Nah, we are nice and love EVERYBODY
 
@AshleyNunn unless hockey's on
 
user15026
@IanPugsley Oh, then all bets are off, and I hate everyone that isn't on my side XD
 
9:29 PM
At any rate, the S.G.E.C. isn't really that awesome. For starters the acronym sucks. Also, their timezones are all wrong.
Well, they're not correct anyway.
Wipqozn really is one of the saving graces
 
@badp I'm not going to argue with that statement.
 
@badp the Stanford Geriatric Education Center?
 
Good morning sunshines!
 
@Wipqozn Feeding your ego is an awesomely easy way to opt you out of any argument
 
@IanPugsley That still puts Canada closer.
 
9:30 PM
Am I right in thinking Canada is like England but larger and less racist?
 
@badp Pretty much.
 
@badp Wait what?
 
@RonanForman yes
 
user15026
@RonanForman Mostly, yeah. We lack an interesting accent though.
 
I want to move to Canada then.
 
9:31 PM
@AshleyNunn That's what you think, eh?
 
@AshleyNunn what about the Quebecois?
 
@IanPugsley Stereotypical Greedy, Evil Corporation
 
Wait, do you have football over there?
 
They have hockey
 
user15026
@IanPugsley True, true.
 
9:32 PM
wow, I just rejected an edit that was essentially the word "penis" copied and pasted 1,000 times over. stay classy, internet.

user15026
@RonanForman American football, or soccer?
 
user15026
@agent86 Hurray, internets.
 
@RonanForman Like soccer or American, real football?
 
@AshleyNunn exactly what I was going to ask.
Either way @RonanForman, no form of football is that popular in Canada. Hockey is the main sport here.
 
user15026
Its basically Hockey or nothing.
 
9:33 PM
@Wipqozn Yeah, America has everything in that area.
 
Except Rugby.
That sounds cool, though.
 
@Ashley Real football, where you actually use your feet.
 
@badp bahaha "Spelling Errors"
 
@badp SPELLING ERRORS
 
9:34 PM
@badp that would be the one.
 
I will say I find it amusing that Canada does have it's own Canadian Football league (similar to American Football), and two of the teams have the same name. there are only about 10 games.
 
@Wipqozn Yay, I hate football.
 
everyone knows "p-e-n-i-s" is how you spell Santa
 
@badp I think there might be some subtle defacement hidden in that edit.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I pay no attention to these things. which teams have teh same names>
 
user15026
9:35 PM
@ArdaXi Yeah, nothing to obvious. I sure missed it.
 
@AshleyNunn I only know due to a comedian. IT's the Roughriders.
 
@ArdaXi I need to zoom in and enhance on the interlinae I think
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Oh, yeah, that would be it.
 
My word. I've used all my stars for today. Must have been last night when we were all being super witty.
oh snap, pizza.
 
Nevermind, you meant soccer.
That's fine.
@Wipqozn gah, I was just going to star that, but I happened to run out now too. D:
 
9:37 PM
@Ulla I'm not against the sport anyway, just the people who play and watch it.
 
@RonanForman They can be a bit obnoxious.
It's not that popular in the USA either though.
I don't know where you live.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Although, not anymore. The Ottawa Rough Riders were a Canadian Football League team based in Ottawa, Ontario, founded in 1876. One of the oldest and longest lived professional sports teams in North America, the Rough Riders won the Grey Cup championship nine times. Their most dominant era was the 1960s and 1970s, a period in which they won five Grey Cups. The team's fortunes waned in the 1980s and 1990s and they ultimately ceased operations following the 1996 season.
 
user15026
Five years later, a new CFL team known as the Ottawa Renegades was founded, though this was suspended indefinitely in 2006; as of 2010 a new Ottawa Canadian Football League team has been announced.
 
The middle of England
 
@Ullallulloo uh, what?
 
9:38 PM
@IanPugsley Soccer isn't super popular in the US.
It's like Football, Basketball, Baseball, then Soccer or Hockey or Tennis.
 
ohohoh yeah, nobody like soccer
stupid same name for a different game
now Backyard Soccer, I like
 
user15026
THe video game?
 
yep
I remember playing that way back when
 
user15026
I liked Backyard Hockey. It was the only one I ever played because I found the GBA cart in a snowbank one day. I took it home, dried it out, and played it over and over and over. It was awesome.
 
I feel bad for not nominating anyone for the Bounty Giveaway, but I can't find an excellent underrated answer. All the excellent answers I find get their due upvotes.
 
9:45 PM
@John you should feel bad. you are a worthless human being. you probably smell horrible
 
@agent86 :(
runs away crying
 
@John that's better.
 
@agent86 I literally just spent my last ten minutes scouring the last page of people's "Answers" section and I can't find anything. :( Well, anything I would be knowledgeable enough on to know whether it's actually any good, anyway.
 
@John well, I appreciate the effort. I'm glad people are on the lookout
 
Oh, right, @agent, weren't you suppose to "Internet Rightness Duel" me?
 
9:48 PM
@agent86 And I appreciate your effort. It's not every day someone puts together a massive rep giveaway. :)
 
@John dammit! Why am I out of stars! I WANT TO STAR THAT SO BADLY
 
@Wipqozn And I want to be starred so badly too.... :(
 
@John well, you could look through this guys answers...
 
@Wipqozn I would never.
 
@Wipqozn Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
 
9:51 PM
I nominated two peoples answers myself, that means I'm morally superior to @John.
 
@Wipqozn Hey, I'm voting. That's important too.
 
@John Keep telling yourself that.
 
@Wipqozn sits happily with his electorate badge. On 2 sites. And civic duty on several others.
 
@John Nicely played.
 
@Wipqozn Thank you. I'm also the all-time 15th highest voter on MSO. Which I think ain't bad considering most people there have had a 2 year head start on me.
 
9:54 PM
@GraceNote sorry, the arena's still offline. I called the contractor who is supposed to be fixing it but he's on holiday and the subcontractor doesn't speak english. Sooner or later.
 
@John Not to mention it has a crap load of users.
You should be proud @John
 
@agent86 You could just surrender
 
@Wipqozn Yes. Can't forget that.
@Wipqozn I am. :)
 
I wouldn't mind. ♪
 
@GraceNote good idea. We all know Grace would just win anyways.
 
9:54 PM
@GraceNote surrender? I don't know the meaning of the word. Every time I see a dictionary I rip that page out and then I eat it. It tastes nasty, but it's worth it.
 
@GraceNote and @agent86 you guys are both old anyway, just play the best old man game: chess.
 
@IanPugsley Oooooooohhh
stands away with the rest of the crowd, hushed as Grace and agent86 turn their steely gazes to Ian
 
@IanPugsley Chess is awesome.I wished to play Chess so much in High School. Sadly, I haven't played much since I graduated.
 
I actually suck at chess. I tried playing a coworker once, and he said it was the only time he's ever seen someone get "triple forked." I don't know what it means, but it sounds like you'd have to pay extra to get it.
 
@agent86 You got triple forked?!?
That's like, stupendously bad.
 
9:56 PM
@agent86 Geezers, you might as well just give up now, then.
 
Sorry, but it is.
 
Huh.
I haven't played TF2 in like a day.
 
@John i see then that you agree that I suck at chess.
 
@agent86 I think everyone agrees with that statement.
 
I was in my primary school chess club, briefly. My crowning achievement was a tie. At that point, I decided it wasn't really for me.
 
9:57 PM
once upon a time I feel like I knew how to play, but the skill has crumbled from disuse and now is a mere shadow of its former self.
 
@agent86 It was bad piece positioning. That's all.
 
What just crashed‽

Q: Is there a point to boss rush?

badpI've currently cleared all the dungeons in my reach and the only place left for current "exploration" is the Boss Rush for Jade Way... well, the first three bosses anyway. However, the first two of three bosses don't seem to drop any loot, and this is otherwise rather poor as experience farming ...

 
@ArdaXi Team Fortress
 
@Wipqozn I'm extending an open invitation to a game of chess.
 
9:58 PM
@GraceNote It can't have.
 
@John Tempting offer. I will take you up on it... sometime. Right now I'm trying to clean my room.
 
Someone should make a chess-based RPG.
 
@ArdaXi I assume it already exists.
 
Only the other way around.
 
10:00 PM
@Wipqozn Safe to say the project's abandoned.
 
hmm, somehow I got a invite to the tribes beta, I don't know why or how though
 
I just nuked Santa. :(
 
@Ullallulloo What a dick.
What did Santa ever do to you?
Well, aside from break into your house.
 
@Ullallulloo
 
@Wipqozn Eat my cookies.
 
10:02 PM
@Ullallulloo What a dick.
 
I nuked Santa, and I got a lump of coal...rather fitting...
 
@GraceNote Incredible.
 
@ArdaXi It's pretty fun.
 
10:13 PM
Oi
 
:2805264 Well (removed) you too!
 
Holy shit, 80k?
 
@badp 80k what?
 
pix for the 3rd collection

oh
yeah...that one was pretty bad.

Q: On Steam, how can I see who a friend is on Facebook after they've been linked?

Insidious ForceI found a number of my steam friends via the facebook integration. It's an easy process, you go to a page in steam, it shows you who on facebook isn't yet in your friends list, and then you check boxes to add them to your steam friends. This is all well and good, but because the namespaces are ...

 
I'd like to comment that the hat thing is sweet!
I've already obtained 3 and I'm sorry to say one of them is "rising from the dead" hat.
 
@Justin Thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying Hat Dash! ♪
 
I didn't even know it was going on till I earned them... my personal favorite so far is the Sherlock Holmes one.
The hot dash is to inspire more activity, correct?
 
Has anyone made a plugin that allows people to see hats after it ends?
 
10:23 PM
@badp when you get close to when the payment is due, and you know you can't make it, load yourself down with items, esp. blue ones. that way, when you roll around again, you'll have your inventory instead of just losing all your money.
 
What game @agent86?
 
@Justin Recettear
 
@ronan it would be good to keep the hats earned somehow.
 
@Justin Public support on Meta indicates that we should create a permanent "Hat Rack" on hatdash.com that persists after the event ends.
 
I want my certificate. I killed this wampa fair and square.
his dripping bloody mess is mine to behold forever
 
10:28 PM
Err... backs away slowly
 
@GraceNote Nice Game, and I look forward to seeing hat dash "Hat Rack"... or something.
 
@agent86 When you've got a North Korean dictator scared of you, maybe you should go to rehab or something.
 
@Ullallulloo I'd prefer a dictator scared of me, then me scared of him.
 
@Justin Well... that can be arranged. BOO!
 
@agent86 blue as in underpriced?
 
10:31 PM
Did that work?
 
or as in item color?
 
@badp yes, blue as in underpriced
the underpriced items are cheap to buy, and what's underpriced will reset
you're essentially investing all of your leftover cash in something that will provide immediate returns on the next cycle
 
Life is pretty cool
 
@Mana You're pretty cool.
 
Lol
 
10:35 PM
cool is pretty cool
 
@ArdaXi I agree. I asked for some water last night, and so @mana gave me the ocean, and it was filtered.
 
> Life, loathe it or ignore it, you can't like it.
 
Actually... now I have to try boss rush with the second unlockable character
 
Wow @ArdaXi, I haven't seen your new avatar till now.
It looks nice.
 
the game can't just pretend nothing weird is going on
 
10:41 PM
Shoot, I was thinking of another question, but forgot what it was.
 
Although getting there will be hard with 30 hp
 
Wow, that's weird. I tried to play Defcon for the first time, but I'm "Not Authenticated"?
 
@RedriderX Thank @SeanGallagher :)

Q: Can I learn Dual Talent Specialization?

PowerlordWorld of Warcraft has an ability to have two different talent sets and switch between them with a button press. Does this exist in Star Wars: The Old Republic? If so, where (and when) do I learn it and how much does it cost to learn?

 
9 left.
 
10:43 PM
@ArdaXi Didn't know you were a vampire.
 
bah. Nothing special happened.
 
Seems like this question can now be reopened. gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/4849/…
 
@bwarner You think it's a meaningful question?
 
@Wipqozn chess.com
We can play at our own pace.
You in?
 
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu YELLOW TEXT MEANS 60% NOT 125%
sigh
 
10:47 PM
@RavenDreamer Seems like we've gotten similar questions on a number of other games.
People generally want an idea of how big the world is, in terms of how long it takes to traverse
 
@RedriderX Me neither.
 
As I understand, the reason for closing it initially was just that the game wasn't out yet.
 
@badp Hehehe
 
@badp you h'wha?
 
how lucky. I had precisely what that guy needed
 
10:52 PM
Did SE change something about the chat code? It's not playing nice with Chrome anymore.
 
@RavenDreamer Do you mean scrolling? Perhaps
 
@badp Ewan?
Or whatever the mage's name is.
 
NOOOO! Defcon fatal error what is thisss. (angry face)
 
@RavenDreamer Yes, it was like Cialis or whatever
 
@badp Yeah. So much scrolling problems.
 
10:53 PM
Refresh :/
 
@badp I've had to do that about 6 times today so far.
I'm looking for a better solution
 
@RavenDreamer I haven't told @balpha anything because he'll give me the "unsupported browser" look
dunno what version of Chrome you're on
 
Ha, TF2 has a counter now that counts how many gifts you've given people via Secret Saxton and Pile of Gifts.
 
@Powerlord Welcome to 24 hours ago!
 
@badp Doesn't that require a boss drop?
 
10:56 PM
@badp Actually, I knew about it then, but what I didn't know is that it counts gifts you've given out in the past.
 
@GraceNote From the slime king, yes.
 
Mine already had 23 on it when I got it.
 
Though I got it on my first ever slime king kill
 
@Powerlord oh I didn't know either
 
(it was the kobold one that held me up)
 
10:57 PM
@RavenDreamer You didn't just settle for Reginald?
 
@GraceNote He was non-compliant.
 
@NickT You around?
@RavenDreamer How unfortunate
 
@GraceNote If it was the stone he needed, then I was doubly lucky. I tried again boss rush with the 2nd character, as I've already said, and died when I expected weirdness. I picked liver stone as my one item and decided against discarding the defeat
If it was liver... I guess I was lucky for not having sold it in the meantime
 
@badp Slime Liver. There's also the Slime Stone, but Caillou asks for Slime Liver which is the easier drop to begin with.
 
Then I was lucky for not selling it in the meantime. Got it way earlier
 
10:59 PM
Lucky you indeed.
 
hm. I only now notice the calendar doesn't have months.
I guess that means there isn't going to be a second month, and I'm really midway the game?
