ooh foundry.
 
Hiya, @LessPopMoreFizz
 
@RavenDreamer Hiya, Shark.
 
Hiya, @GnomeSlice
 
Hi there. You need assistance with Premiere?
 
Nope. I figured it out.
 
6:09 PM
Good for you.
 
beams
 
@Lazers stay classy, god of war
@RavenDreamer good morning hatless shark!
although I guess you won the actual vader hat
so maybe that's not an accurate statement.
 
I'm not sure if it's actually a hat
or just the equivalent of a stuffed head
 
snake? snake? sake.
 
6:16 PM
As long as we're posting videos.
 
Mine wasn't a video.
 
Can someone record a replay on marco's server? I need to test something.

Q: Why can't my Triton land at a terror site?

Cosmic FlameI'm playing X-COM: Terror From The Deep and aliens have launched a terror attack. I dispatched my Triton, targetting the terror site. It arrives there and then straight away starts coming back. The terror site vanishes from the map a moment later. What am I doing wrong? How do I sent my Trit...

A: How do I get the elevator in the Wonder Tower Foundations to work?

AnthonyI NEED HELP ON TO GET DA ELEVATOR ON PEGUANS MUSEUM

That is... a remarkable attempt at a sentence.
 
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE BEEN WORKIN ON A COCKTAIL CALLED GROUDNS FOR DIVORCEEEEE
WOooooOOOOAAAAAAH WOOAH WOAH
goddamn song stuck in my head
 
@ThomasMcDonald I need to see if I can download the replay file from marco's server.
 
@RonanForman can you?
 
user30
There are several replays on there
 
I can download the files, but I don't know what I can do with them.
 
6:58 PM
Pff, TF2 keeps CTDing.
 
That... should be an answer, if it's anything.
(Also, once again, this is why ITG is terrible.)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, I saw that and I was like... okay. I don't think there's a single part of that that really qualifies as English.
 
user30
@RonanForman You also need to play.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Unless it's the same user.
 
@ThomasMcDonald Play what?
 
user30
7:01 PM
TF2.
 
@ArdaXi It's an anon edit. If the original question was by somebody with 10 rep and with a Gravatar, that'd be one thing, but at 154 rep, I'd hope he knows to log in.
 
ITG is just terrible because the answers are usually guesses
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It could be a cookie user.
 
and the community can't always evaluate (vote on) them
 
@ArdaXi If you read the edit, there's substantial reason to believe it's not the same person.
 
7:02 PM
@ThomasMcDonald TF2's right now?
 
@ThomasMcDonald So if I play when you record the replay I can get the file from the server?
 
user30
TF2 is all the time!
 
user30
but especially now.
 
@ArdaXi Also, it's an attempt to edit a six month old ITG.
 
Remeber to save replays everyone!
 
7:05 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I agree with your assessment, for what that's worth.
 
Hmm. I wonder if my 20% edit rejection rate is higher than the norm
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz how do you even check?
I think I've probably reviewed about a dozen edits max.
frequently I just kind of go "uhhh" and pass on it.
 
7:23 PM
@agent86 Pull up an edit you've approved or rejected to see stats
This is amazing.
 
Hey! You two, TF2 now!
 
I just tried to plug my power adapter into the network jack :|
I can't tf2 at this point, I'm watching the kids
in like half an hour maybe :)
 
And again, crashing.

Q: Is there a simple way to export your free draw image in Pictionary: Ultimate Edition?

animusonAside from the basic way of just taking a picture of the screen with my phone, is there any way to easily export an image I created in Free Draw mode on Pictionary: Ultimate Edition to my computer or something? I haven't seen any kind of export to web option anywhere in-game. It seems kind of sil...

 
I give up. TF2 hates me.
 
7:35 PM
@ArdaXi Well then you can give input on our newest tagging debacle.
0
Q: How should we tag: "Pictionary: Ultimate Edition"?

JohnToday we got a question about "Pictionary: Ultimate Edition". pictionary-ultimate-edition is 27 characters. How should we tag it? pictionaryultimateedition?

 
The question it references is conveniently located about 4 messages up.
 
@ArdaXi I considered this as a tag.
I opted to pass on tagging it, since a) it's unlikely the tag's going to persist, and b) I figured it would be the subject of some debate
 
@agent86 I think A is likely
 
@RavenDreamer @agent86 I think B is even more likely. ;)
 
7:39 PM
@John Isn't that a self-fullfilling prophecy, though?
You thought it would engender debate... so you opened a topic to debate in it.
@ArdaXi I found out why I couldn't buy fraps.
My Credit Union is racist towards Australians.
 
Have you tried holding your creditcard upside down?
 
@RavenDreamer No. A self fulfilling prophecy "is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true". It has nothing to do with the person making the prediction making it come true.
 
@RavenDreamer @Tristan Get in here!
 
@John You thought it would cause discussion, so you decided to make a discussion about it. The act of thinking it was discussion worthy, convinced you that it was discussion worthy.
 
@RonanForman In here?
 
7:42 PM
@RonanForman I'm already here.
 
@Tristan @RavenDreamer He means TF2.
 
user30
TF2.
 
user30
play it.
 
@John I can't run it on this laptop. =(
 
play it noaw
 
7:43 PM
@RavenDreamer But I didn't think it would cause discussion. I expected a mod to tag it and no one to ever comment, vote, or answer my meta question.
 
@RonanForman I'm clearing flags, you ingrate!
 
@RonanForman *naow
@RavenDreamer I'll do it! :D
 
@John That too.
 
@RonanForman I'd love to play, but I can't. I tried playing the tutorial map with bots and my computer crashed.
 
The voices in TF2 are talking at hyperspeed for me. And the human ones cut out every other letter.
@Tristan Sounds like Arda and Thomas.
Yet they play.
 
7:45 PM
I'll try loading it up and see how it goes.. What's the server?
 
Ya know, I'm kinda glad I don't have edit privileges in chat. I would be editing every single little typo everyone made.
@Tristan tf2.stackgaming.com
 
Alright. I'll give it a go.
 
@Tristan That's the spirit!
 
@Mana !
You're in my flags, handlin' mah answers!

7:49 PM
@RavenDreamer Can you set an event on our steam group for this?
 
@RonanForman I cannot, but due to ignorance, not malice.
I can try
But no promises.
@RonanForman What do you want the event to say?
 
@RavenDreamer TF2 on tf2.stackgaming.com Naow!
 
This is adorable.
 
@RavenDreamer Are those eyes real?
 
8:02 PM
@RavenDreamer These are pretty good.
Who wants to help me work on the /review backlog? We've been doing a good job not letting any more pile up, but there's ~1000 old ones to review.
 
No go on TF2. =(
 
@Tristan :(
 
@John It locked up on the "Retrieving Server Information" and I had to hard reboot.
 
@Tristan Are you sure it locked up and wasn't just taking a long time? Mine always takes a few minutes to connect.
 
@John I couldn't cancel it or anything. Plus, the wifi in this hotel is terrible. 512kb/s
 
8:06 PM
@Tristan I can't cancel mine either.... oh you're on hotel WiFi. That explains a lot.
 
@John I nibble at it from time to time. I think I did 50 or so from the backlog this week.
 
@agent86 I noticed we're a lot closer to 1000 than we were last I checked.
 
What's the /review backlog?
 
 
@John k... Then what? lol
 
8:08 PM
I've almost got all the posts in it. :)
@Tristan Pick a tab you like,
Pick a post,
Click "Review Question/Answer" below the post..
Act accordingly.
 
user30
You can only do that if you have enough edits.
 
@Tristan Oh wait...I forgot, it won't mark you as having reviewed them until you have the Strunk and White badge...
 
@John hmm, I almost always clear the day/week ones out. I sure hope we're not letting a bunch back up
 
@ThomasMcDonald You can do it, it just won't take them out of the list.
 
yeah, you've got to have strunk and white first.
 
8:09 PM
@agent86 I've been checking those. We haven't.
 
Strunk and White? Also, I don't think I have the rep for any of that.
 
@Tristan You can upvote, downvote, and flag.
 
@John Fair enough.
 
@Tristan strunk and white is a badge for 80 edits
you don't get credits for edits to your own stuff though.
 
@agent86 Do you have TF2?
 
8:12 PM
Wait, @RavenDreamer this video on your YouTube says it was recorded with FRAPS...

Q: Can't type in transfer fee amount

timklI can't type in the transfer fee in this screen: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/228089/transfer-fee.png I type in an amount but it doesn't change the Transfer Fee amount in the "Make an offer" screen. Anyone having the same pro

 
@RonanForman yes. I bought the orange box shortly after the game launched.
 
@agent86 tf2.stackgaming.com
 
@RonanForman watching the kids, unfort.
 
Get them to play too.
 
8:15 PM
@RonanForman TF2 is kinda graphic...
 
@John Birthday mode!
 
@Ullallulloo What is that?
TBH, I've basically never looked at TF2's options.
 
@John Where random objects like springs and rubber ducks fly out instead of organs.
It's a server option.
 
@Ullallulloo Haha! Not sure Marco would do that though...
 
8:31 PM
@SimonSheehan Join us!
 
@RonanForman I dont have TF2 installed :( I need to do that
 
@SimonSheehan Do it naow!
 
@RonanForman Doing it!

TF2 is still going. Play it.

Q: If I get a Dota 2 beta key, will I get to keep the game after it's released?

BlueRaja - Danny PflughoeftSince the recent christmas event, it's become rather easy to find a Dota 2 beta key, if you've got the right things to trade. But, it's somewhat expensive, and it doesn't seem worth it to me if you don't get to keep the game afterwards. So, has anyone been able to find anything about this? Doe...

Q: What determines if Batman's moves when gliding?

yx.When you are pulling out of a dive, what factors determine whether or not you will pull upwards (thus gain some more height) or just glide forwards?

 
8:50 PM
@John And?
 
Well, I got into the game, but I was lagging too badly to do anything because of my bad connection... =(
 
@RavenDreamer So why are you buying it again?
 
To stop it saying that it is recorded in FRPAS.
 
@RonanForman Gotcha.
Oh the irony. The notification that the GSE Steam group has an event starting now caused TF2 to crash...

Q: Thieves Guild Special Job Bug

DeanI completed enough thieves guild radiant quests to get a "special" job from Delvin. I talked to Delvin to get the special job, and there was nothing added to my quest log. Now every time I get near him he tells me my work has been noticed and that we got a special job, but I can't get a dialog ...

Q: Can I swap left and right mouse buttons for combat only?

RayIt annoys me no end that the LMB is for the right hand and the RMB is for the left hand. Is there a mod or console command to swap them for combat only (i.e. not for menus, dialog, etc)?

 
9:21 PM
@John because I want to record more than 30 seconds at once

Q: First denmaster features in end-game?

RawlingSpoilers. Towards the end of AC: Revelations, During a cutscene shortly afterwards, Ezio picks out an assassin and says something along the lines of "You, Assassin, Is this the first denmaster - the one that is already chosen for you, and is on a mission for much of the start of the game?

 
NOOOOOOOO. Damn You Old Republic! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE ME KILL HK. WHY!?!?!
 
Okay, I'm home finally. Joining now.
 
Loads of random people are here, we're trying to convert them.

Q: I shot someone with a stun gun and now he's dead. Could I still be considered a pacifist?

AubergineI was going for a pacifist playthrough, and so I used the tranquilizer rifle and stun gun almost exclusively. During the Cloak & Daggers side-mission, I was aiming to incapacitate Double-T, with the first obstacle being the henchman sitting on the couch outside his apartment door. I took out...

 
10:13 PM
@RonanForman Conversion by shooting? :P Seriously though, good luck with that.
 
user30
That was fun.
 
@RonanForman What resolution?
 
@Ullallulloo I'm just testing if you can send the replay files, if not up to 720p.
Nevermind you can send me the replays, send me your Steam\SteamApps\USER\team fortress 2\tf\replay\client\blocks folder.

Q: Can my companions equip Alignment Restricted items that I can't equip?

LessPop_MoreFizzSeeing as I'm playing an Imperial, there's a lot of Red Color Crystals floating around. But I'm a pretty tolerant dude, and have hit a rank of Light IV. All well and good, but I've recently started giving my companions customizable gear, since, as a Cybertech, that's easier for me to keep upgrad...

Q: How do I send someone else TF2 replay files?

Nick TWhat files do I need to include when sending someone else a replay? Just the numbered ones from the same group in \steamapps\[username]\team fortress 2\tf\replay\client\blocks or does that need to be paired with all the other meta-ones in \sessions and \replays?

0
Q: In RDR:UN how do i get the myth horse?

Jo'nathan TumminsI need to get that horse!Some wikis said that the horse hade a fire mane and was hard to find but tell me the location of War,the horse.

 
@RonanForman It wouldn't let me save them (Quicktime issues). Would Marco still have them?
 
@John You don't need to render it, just send me the replay files.
 
@RonanForman I presume they're saved in a folder somewhere?

Nevermind you can send me the replays, send me your Steam\SteamApps\USER\team fortress 2\tf\replay\client\blocks folder.
 
@Ullallulloo That's only half of it. First I have to find the Steam Wineprefix. :P
@RonanForman And.....how do I send you this?

Zip it and send to to stackgaming's gmail.
 
need some close votes on this:

Q: What are the differences between the MW3 pistols:P99 and the Five Seven?

Jo'nathan TumminsWhich one has a better recoil? How many bullets does each clip hold? What can you attach to these weapons? Do the differences between these weapons make one better-suited for one situation compared to the other?

10:58 PM
@Lazers Answer: Neither: play PC games like a proper gamer.
 
@RonanForman hehehe... and be able to play games you owned 15 years ago, from the same media you used 15 years ago. ;) (on the latest hardware.)
also... are instead of is?
 
grammar... "Are the ps2 and ps3" instead of "Is the ps2 and ps3"
 
@John @Ullallulloo @Thomas Are you sending the replays?
 
user30
Not now.
 
11:04 PM
Why not?
 
user30
because they're on my desktop.
 
Fair enough, whenever's you can then.
 
@RonanForman I made two, and one won't download it seems.
 
Download?

Q: Is there a way to reverse looking up and down in Skyrim?

pdbartlettHopefully self-explanatory, but I would find it much more natural to use right stick up to look down and right stick down to look up. Is there a way to achieve this in Skyrim on PS3? I couldn't see anything obvious in the controls settings.

 
@RonanForman Just sent it.
Or rather, Gmail is sending.
@RonanForman Done.
 
So, tomorrow's Minecraft for Game On, right?
 
Yup.
Be there, and be square!
 
Sweet. I might actually be able to participate in that one.
@RonanForman I see what you did there..
 
@Tristan I don't, what did I do?!
@John Got them, thanks.
 
11:31 PM
@RonanForman Y'know... Cuz... In Minecraft, everything's square?
 
@RonanForman It's supposed to be: "Be there or be square" because being "square" means you aren't cool. But in Minecraft, you literally are square.
 
@RonanForman You're wittier than you thought!
 
@RonanForman I really thought you meant to do it. lol
 
I clearly did.
 
11:39 PM
7 mins ago, by Ronan Forman
@Tristan I don't, what did I do?!
 
It's like sarcasm or something.
 
@RonanForman Or like trying to sound cooler than you act. :P Like Qipqozn.
And yes, I meant to do that.
 
I'm so glad I happened upon Gaming... =P
 
@John I don't act cool, I'm going to cry :'(
 
@Tristan Haha I'm glad I found SE also. :) It's a good thing SO has such a good reputation with Google!
@RonanForman But crying isn't cool....
 
11:42 PM
SO?
 
The flagship site of SE.
SE =
 
@John Oh. Gotcha. Here's a question... How do people participate in the blog?
 

 Gaming Blog Editor room

Wherein we leverage the leak power from our lazers to do this ...
 
@RonanForman > Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to do sarcasm that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing.
 
@John Oh. Thanks.
 
11:44 PM
@alexanderpas Very true.
 
@alexanderpas That's a bit of a bastardization of Poe's law.
 
@Tristan No problem
 
@ArdaXi yup.
 
@Arda We've found you can send replays, did you record any?
 
Err... one I think, but I kept crashing.
 
11:47 PM
@John I was mainly asking because I wanted to participate in the 2011 Game of the Year blog thing. lol
But since it's too late for that now, I was mostly just curious.
 
@Tristan Oh, for that...

Q: Share your favorite games from 2011!

yx.We are looking to put together a blog post from gaming.se folks in the style of an ESPN 5 on 5 format in what they think are the best, worst, and most surprising games of 2011. If you would like to contribute, please answer the following questions, write a small paragraph (3-4 sentences) for e...

@Tristan It's too late for that now? I didn't know.
 
@John Oh, I just assumed it was because it was now 2012 and all... And the world's probably going to end before a 2012 GotY blog can go up.
 
@Tristan Are you making a joke or do you actually believe the whole "mayan calendar" thing?
 
@John A joke. But it did help to further prove @alexanderpas statement about the need for a winky face or something. =D
 
People should actually look into the Mayan calendar before they make that joke. ;-)
 
11:50 PM
Even if you are making a joke, please don't, as if you say it enough someone will believe it.
 
@Tristan As if that needed more proof. :P
@ArdaXi Is that...a meta joke?
 
Thing is, I've actually researched the topic. Got bored, wanted to know what all the fuss was about.
 
@ArdaXi And?
 
@John It's definitely gotta be a joke of some kind. He used a winky face!
 
Enlighten us all.
 
11:51 PM
It's the thirteenth time the calendar changes.
 
@ArdaXi Bad luck?
 
If it is we ought to migrate it to the meta bridge.
 
@RonanForman There aren't any mods on.
Or owners.
 
A baktun (properly b'ak'tun) is 20 katun cycles of the ancient Maya Long Count Calendar. It contains 144,000 days, equal to 394.26 tropical years. The Classic period of Maya civilization occurred during the 8th and 9th baktuns of the current calendrical cycle. The current (13th) baktun will end, or be completed, on 13.0.0.0.0 (December 21, 2012 using the GMT correlation). This also marks the beginning of the 14th baktun, as such a term is usually used among Mayanists. J. Eric S. Thompson stated that when a Long Count of, say, 9.15.10.0.0 is placed in the 9th baktun, we are almost certain...
 
The Maya calendar is a system of calendars used in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, and in many modern communities in highland Guatemala and in Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico. The essentials of the Maya calendar are based upon a system which had been in common use throughout the region, dating back to at least the 5th century BCE. It shares many aspects with calendars employed by other earlier Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Zapotec and Olmec, and contemporary or later ones such as the Mixtec and Aztec calendars. Although the Mesoamerican calendar did not originate with the Maya...
 
11:52 PM
Arda owns the Bridge, unfortunatly.
 
Man... I really wasn't expecting to spark such a debate with my joke. o.O
 
We don't take jokes lightly here.
 
@Tristan we had nothing else to do ;)
 
@Tristan It's a gaming site; what'd you expect? :P
@ArdaXi That's very interesting.
 
11:54 PM
@RonanForman No he doesn't!
 
LOL
 
@John I dunno... Some talk about gaming, maybe, but certainly not the coming apocalypse.
 
It's the internet, what do you expect?
 
@LessPopMoreFizz Watch out or I'll call @badp on you!
 
@ArdaXi you just did.
 
11:54 PM
@Tristan We talk about everything here. Even stuff you really don't want or will ever need to know.
 
@John Rated PG-13
 
@alexanderpas No I didn't.
 
@alexanderpas Not always.
@ArdaXi Yes, you did. You pinged him.
 
@John No, I didn't. He won't see it for another few hours at least
 
@ArdaXi That doesn't matter. You still called him.
Regardless of when he comes.
 
11:56 PM
@John He would've come anyway. I haven't changed that.
 
So wait... By @name-ing someone, you ping them, and they come?
 
@ArdaXi You think @badp doesn't check all his pings? He's a mod; he better.
 
... To the chat?
 
@Tristan You ping them and generate an inbox notification.
 
@John He won't check his pings before he would naturally come to the chatroom.
 
11:56 PM
@ArdaXi Touche
 
@John Oh. That's why I always have a notification...
 
@Tristan yup, when they get the ping in their inbox, and see it, they will come, if the've been recently.
 
I feel like there's still so much to learn about this place...
 
Actually, they only get the ping if they've been here recently. They don't automatically come.
@Tristan You have no idea.
@Tristan I would recommend reading everything tagged on this site:
 
11:59 PM
(Obviously no one lives long enough to do that though)
 
@John that's... that's a sadistic proposal
 
Well... Time to research.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hey, it's what I do in my free time.
