I was paged?

by @GnomeSlice

Mana

@tzenes Weird.

tzenes

I keep track of that stuff

Fredy31

crashes through... god damnit.

I've got an annoying as hell virus.

Mana

@Fredy31 what's going on?

also, computer or real?

Fredy31

I'm just randomly hearing "Congratulations, you won!" out of my computer speakers.

Every five or so minutes

Mana

2:21 AM

@Fredy31 weird.

Fredy31

sometimes it's like 2-3 days that it wont do it, then it comes back

I've been on for about 15mins, did it twice

Again. It just did it again.

Should really, REALLY, stop watching porn.

FallenAngelEyes

done with Noveria \o/ and now time for sleep

Grace Note

Hey @tzenes!

tzenes

hi @Grace

how are things?

Rapida

@tzenes you should join Grace and I for some league

tzenes

2:24 AM

ok

Grace Note

@tzenes Pretty good. You?

tzenes

I'm doing well

FallenAngelEyes

Amazon and Newegg have 40% off of Xbox Live Gold Memberships. No idea how long this lasts, probably a daily deal.

Fredy31

Well, the question have been thrown. superuser.com/questions/392605/…

Q: Virus - Hearing "Congratulations, you won!"

I'm having a virus currently with my computer that needs fixing. I'm hearing a voice saying "Congratulations, you won!" at seemingly random intervals from my computer. I'm saying at random because sometimes it can be 5 times an hour, then the next time it can be days before I hear it again. Sc...

Nick T

@FallenAngelEyes Sorry, I play PC games where multiplayer is free.

FallenAngelEyes

2:34 AM

@NickT Well, other people might still want to take advantage of the deal.

John

Would a mod mind telling me if there are any deleted comments here?

user2334

They could, but then they'd have to kill you. It's the second paragraph in the moderator confidentiality agreement.

John

@MarkTrapp Oh really?

I was just notified about a comment there, but it looks like I was notified for a super old comment.

Before I write up a Meta post, I wanted to be sure it wasn't just a deleted comment.

user2334

Wait, I think the confidentiality agreement itself is covered by that clause. I'm sorry John: it was nice knowing you.

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes good deal. I could use some points, but I just stocked up on my live gold sub

John

2:40 AM

@MarkTrapp I don't see any references to itself...

agent86

@John sniper team alpha, you are go for the shot. repeat, terminate john the green, over?

user2334

@John That's the public, non-murder one. You don't think they'd let the murder agreement be Google indexed, now would you?

John

I just want to rule out the obvious so I'm not downvoted to oblivion on MSO. You don't have to kill me.

:(

Mana

@John oh, damn it.

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 I'm waffling over whether or not to get it. My b/f and I have thought about doing the Family Pack thing, but he doesn't really play online enough to warrant it. But if he did have gold, he'd probably play online more, you know?

Wipqozn

2:42 AM

My @John :( sense was tingeling.

John

@Mana @Wipqozn I lol'ed.

@agent86 Seriously, assuming you won't get in trouble, would you please tell me if there's any deleted comments on that answer that strongly resemble the existing non-deleted one?

Wipqozn

IT's funny, I'm here playing Civ and thought to myself "I should check what's going on in the bridge!"

John

@Wipqozn I invoke that feeling in many people.

OrigamiRobot

@John You invoke lots of feelings in me.

John

@OrigamiRobot All good ones, right?

OrigamiRobot

2:48 AM

@John Robot feelings.

John

@OrigamiRobot I didn't know robots had feelings.

OrigamiRobot

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes well, you're in europe, yeah? I think those things might be region-locked.

@John if I can detect deleted comments on a post, I don't know how :( I believe that once deleted, they are gone forever

Mana

@agent86 mod > show deleted comments

Raven Dreamer

@agent86 Clearly you have much to learn.

John

2:56 AM

Would one of you just tell me please?

Raven Dreamer

Why are you asking?

(I just got here)

agent86

@RavenDreamer yeah, if only I had teachers and not shark-shaped snark factories :P

Raven Dreamer

@agent86 Please. I buy my snark locally, from @GraceNote.

Mana

@John Shh, this is agent86's learning phase.

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 my account is US-based, so I pay in USD and stuff. The email I used for it was based in the US before I moved over here, so I get to see all the US Gold stuff like Netflix, even though I can't use it.

agent86

2:59 AM

@John there's another comment on that post that was deleted that is very similar to the non-deleted comment.

@FallenAngelEyes ah, you're in the No-Man's Land of Xbox Live

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 Yeah, it's kinda weird.

John

@agent86 +1 for **Science**(!)!

That?

agent86

it's a good deal for a year of gold - that's the cheapest I generally find it when looking, even dating back to before the price increase of 16 mos ago

FallenAngelEyes

On the plus side, I can pay for stuff like DLC in USD rather than EUR so it's cheaper.

agent86

@John yes.

John

3:00 AM

If so, that explains everything and I can delete this meta post.

@agent86 Thanks.

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes that's a nice bonus. Bing is doing this "rewards" thing where you can get free MS points from them for using bing (it takes about a week or so of 10 searches per day to get 100 pts)

I've gotten several free items via this method

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 I heard something about that, haven't tried it though.

agent86

also, there's this rewards program, I happened to renew my gold in january and, on top of the discount I got buying the card, I got another $5 back in MS points

John

@RavenDreamer I got a notification for a comment there that was very similar to the existing comment, so it appeared that I got a second notification for an old comment. I wanted to make sure it wasn't just a deleted comment before I posted on MSO.

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes it takes maybe a minute each day to do a few quick bing searches (I just click the "related searches" links repeatedly)

Tim Stone

3:02 AM

Paying for Gold does seem a bit wrong, but then I realized that one time I spent more than the yearly fee ordering sushi and decided it wasn't such a big deal, heh.

Raven Dreamer

@John Yes. That looks to be what happened.

Tim Stone

@agent86 Yeah, I recently signed up for that. I'm still not sure what they get out of it that they kept bugging me about joining, but I figured I might as well.

John

@RavenDreamer Thanks. Btw, I don't see a shark in your gravatar anymore.

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 Yeah, I am part of the rewards program. I keep forgetting to do the stupid surveys though.

agent86

@TimStone yeah, I was super opposed to it for a long time. but then a friend convinced me to try it, and now I'm hooked, sigh. if only he'd play more PC games!

Wipqozn

3:03 AM

MY zeus, @RavenDreamer has a new gravatar.

@RavenDreamer Homestuck?

agent86

@TimStone I think they're trying to gain market share on google via bribery :)

Tim Stone

WTF chat? o_o

Wipqozn

oh, it's Jane, isn't it?

Raven Dreamer

@Wipqozn Blame @agent86.

FallenAngelEyes

@TimStone When you add up the yearly costs for stuff like buying a cup of coffee every day or something, it's kind of terrifying.

Tim Stone

3:04 AM

AH THE PINGS

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer I will.

@agent86: blame

Tim Stone

I'm getting a ping for each tab I have open. x_x

Wipqozn

@TimStone Including this one?

@TimStone and this one?

Tim Stone

Yes, thank you :P

Wipqozn

@TimStone and even this one?!?!?!?

@TimStone: Okay, I'm done.

agent86

3:05 AM

@RavenDreamer psh! I reject your blame and substitute my own!

Tim Stone

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, a commercial the other day just told me how much sugar I consume in a year just from drinking soda...it was kinda scary. |:

John

@TimStone Fun, isn't it? :P

FallenAngelEyes

@TimStone Mmmmm, diabetes.

Tim Stone

OK, chat is broken. Or balpha and Marc are getting back at me for something. :P

FallenAngelEyes

haha

OrigamiRobot

3:06 AM

@Wipqozn I can't handle this.

Raven Dreamer

@agent86 You infringed my schtick. So I made a new schtick.

agent86

@RavenDreamer you told me to though

so if anyone's to blame, it's you for telling me to infringe so that I'd infringe and you'd have to change.

Raven Dreamer

@agent86 On the contrary, I merely pointed out that I was curious what it would look like.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Holy. Fucking. Shit. LOL.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I saw this earlier today. I'm desperately hoping it's just an elaborate troll, but... yeah...

Tim Stone

@LessPop_MoreFizz I can't even find the words to describe that. Just...wow.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm laughing so hard, this is awesome. Oh my zeus, thank you!

Anna Lear

@LessPop_MoreFizz I... what. Hahahahahahahahaha. Oh man.

Raven Dreamer

@LessPop_MoreFizz tries to click on the Facebook hyperlinks

Wipqozn

@LessPopMoreFizz: That made my week. THank you.

LessPop_MoreFizz

3:16 AM

@Raven do I need to explain how screenshots work to you?

Raven Dreamer

@LessPop_MoreFizz Nope. You do need to remind me that I'm looking at a screenshot, though.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz maybe you could tattoo the instructions on his arm.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I really want this to be true, and at the same time, am horrified at the idea that there is enough ridiculousness in the world that it just might be.

user15026

Also, sneezing while laughing is really uncomfortable.

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn This pretty much sums up how I feel about it

Raven Dreamer

3:19 AM

Mmm. Can't find the last Webwood lorestone.

agent86

ugh, the ultimate bad guy in this game, I just placed his voice. he's tigger. talk about immersion breaking.

2

Wipqozn

@agent86 what game?

user15026

@agent86 Seriously? That would ruin everything XD Tigger cannot be a bad guy. It is impossible.

agent86

and NOW, in this PLACE, you shall witness the dawn of the endless winter (hoo hoo hoo HOO!)

2

@Wipqozn kingdoms of amalur

Tim Stone

It's Jin!

user15026

3:21 AM

@agent86 It actually can't be the original Tigger, unless they've been working on the game for more than 7 years - he died in '05.

Ktash

Wait, tigger is the bad guy in Kingdoms of Amalur?

Jin

TIL Reaper from Mass Effect was inspired by Sepia Mestus, Reaper Cuttlefish..

►

user15026

@agent86 Oh, wait, I just IMDB'ed it - it is indeed the man who is currently Tigger's voice.

agent86

@AshleyNunn does he also do pooh's voice?

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn Jim Cummings?

Ktash

3:23 AM

@AshleyNunn Okay, now I need to get that game... There is no way that can be bad

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Yep.

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn That man is in everything

user15026

@agent86 Currently, yes he does.

agent86

@AshleyNunn okay, cause I was catching little bits of pooh-like dialog too

Raven Dreamer

@agent86 Also, an assassin in Skyrim.

Tim Stone

3:25 AM

@Jin That does look like the ultimate evil in the universe

Jin

@TimStone you mean the cutest evil. now i want a lil pet cuttle fish on my desk

FallenAngelEyes

agh okay must sleep

Ktash

Okay, I have a question for the mods. Do you have the power to go back to questions where users are deleted and mark best?

OrigamiRobot

@FallenAngelEyes Nah, you can stay up.

FallenAngelEyes

@OrigamiRobot 4:30am here. Need to sleep so I can wake up and play more Mass Effect...

Tim Stone

3:27 AM

@Jin Michael Pryor should hook you up with a cuttle fish tank for your yearly bonus.

Grace Note

@Ktash We cannot change acceptance, if you mean that.

Tim Stone

@FallenAngelEyes Yes!

Jin

@TimStone i probably will just eat it. cuttlefish sashimi...

OrigamiRobot

@FallenAngelEyes Play Mass Effect now, sleep later.

Ktash

@GraceNote Yeah, that's what I was meaning. Because recently a question was marked as a dupe of gaming.stackexchange.com/a/7534/15643 in which the highest voted answer is wrong.

but the owner of the question is a deleted user, so the right answer is buried

Jin

3:29 AM

@GraceNote oh hai fellow coworker

Grace Note

Hi @Jin

Ktash

If nothing can be done, that's fine. Was just curious to see if it could be rectified

Grace Note

Best we can do is downvote the wrong answer and upvote the right answer.

Tim Stone

@Jin Eating cute things is bad! Although sashimi is delicious...Now I'm conflicted.

Anna Lear

@TimStone Some sashimi comes from pretty ugly fish. I think you're safe.

Ktash

3:30 AM

Figured that might be the case. Ah well, just wanted to see if it could be cleaned up. Thanks

Wipqozn

@Ktash I'd be happy to down vote that answer then, but do you have anything to back up your claim that it is wrong?

Jin

now i'm hungry

Tim Stone

@AnnaLear Good point. :P

Ktash

@Wipqozn View the video attached to this answer: gaming.stackexchange.com/a/12253/15643 and you'll see video evidence of how the kinect works

it uses an IR projector/camera

agent86

finally! we can all rest easy, everyone. I've slain tigger and the war is over. I'm going to get some hunny now.

Ktash

3:32 AM

The dots have actually been used in art projects and such lol

@agent86 You killed Tigger?! But Tiggers are a wonderful thing!

agent86

@Ktash the most wonderful thing about tiggers is that there's only one. and I killed it. that's kind of a close second.

user15026

@agent86 You -monster-.

Ktash

@agent86 hahaha

agent86

@AshleyNunn >:D

Ktash

You know you're addicted to SE sites when you're more excited that you'll finally be able to answer questions than you are about the actual release of ME 3.

Jin

3:40 AM

@Ktash speak for yourself, i'm totally excited bout ME3! i should fake a sick day..

i mean, i probably will be legitimately sick that day...

Tim Stone

@Jin Well, since you work from home anyway....just pretend it's research for the Astronomy design.

Ktash

@Jin Heh, I mean, sure it doesn't look like a bad game, and now that I've started the series I can't leave it hanging, but it hasn't been the most drawing release for me...

plus it's hard to avoid work by answering question on gaming.SE when I can't answer any of the questions lol

Anna Lear

@Jin Mass Effectatis, 3rd degree, eh? It is a common condition. I may be coming down with the same thing.

Jin

well actually, i have been looking at a lot of ME3 stuff... for work

the new trailer looks amazing

Ktash

@Jin the new cinematic trailer?

Jin

3:47 AM

@Ktash yeah

i haven't downloaded the demo yet, is that available to everyone?

Ktash

I think it is

And I don't trust cinematic trailers any more... been burned on that too many times

They look so awesome... and then you get there, and it's just not the same

Jin

@Ktash what do you mean?

oh, well i think it depends on if the trailer was made with in-game graphic or not

Ktash

@Jin A little. But it's not always about the graphics. If it is a cinematic from the game, and doesn't spoil it, maybe

Ullallulloo

@Jin Ars Technica did a story on this not too long ago...

Ktash

Trailers not of gameplay are iffy to me. Like I love Halo 3, but after I saw the believe trailer with the kids in the grass, it was never gonna live up to that trailer IMO

I will give the ME3 trailer credit for being beautiful

agent86

3:52 AM

yeah, go play the demo. it's quite good, imho

there's a multiplayer mode that I've yet to try, which appears to be co-op PvE

Ktash

Will the demo be live through to launch?

or is it more a limited beta?

agent86

@Ktash uncertain.

Ktash

Dang. I have a huge project I have to do this week and this is too much distraction as is

Jin

@Ktash i blame Final Fantasy 7 for starting this trend!

Ullallulloo

arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2012/01/…

Jin

3:54 AM

scumbag FF7, opens beautiful CG scene, then gives you chars with boxy hands..

2

Ullallulloo

@Jin Plus the PS3 trailer. :(

Ktash

@Jin (I know this is probably akin to blasphemy in this chat room, but I'm going for it) I actually never really got into FF7... I played it a bit and didn't find it that grabbing

So I can't blame that for my distrust

Jin

@Ktash I liked FF7, but i wasn't crazy about it. i liked the mechanics in the game, also it basically set a standard for j-rpg for its time

my fav FF is actually 8...

a lot of people didn't like it

Ktash

The first RPG I ever played was FF10... I jumped on that bandwagon way late

And 10 was alright up until they released the sequel

Ullallulloo

@Ktash Same here, but just because I'm young.

Jin

3:58 AM

my first rpg was Bard's Tale on PC :)

Ktash

@Ullallulloo I unfortunately don't get to use that excuse. First game I ever owned was Donkey Kong Country on SNES... and it was legendary

Jin

gosh i feel sooo old

Might 'n Magic and Ultima series were my favs in the 90s

Ktash

hahaha, alright @Jin let's hear it. What was your first game?

Jin

@Ktash first video game ever? well it was on an Apple ][

i forgot the name.. you control this lil digger thing, digging underground for $ bags. then there are these ghosts that chase you..

Ktash

DigDug!

I loved that game

user15026

4:00 AM

First game I ever owned myself was probably Super Mario RPG. :D

Jin

actually i take that back

Ullallulloo

@Ktash I loved a clone of that game!

Jin

^ that was my first game ever

man, that game was nerve racking

agent86

I think my first RPG was probably the original final fantasy on the NES. first game ever was probably "hunt the wumpus" on a TI-994/A

Ullallulloo

My first game ever was Mechwarrior 2.

Pure awesome.

GnomeSlice

4:01 AM

Man, Aquadelic GT is really fun.

I should reinstall my old mechwarrior game.

Ktash

Hahaha, instant nostalgia

Jin

@Ullallulloo +1. MW series were awesome. I remember that one time i saved up enough $ to put on all long range machine gun when dueling my friend over modem. i bound the shoot mode to fire ALL weapons. I hit it, then my mech exploded due to overheat. it was hilarious

Ktash

@Jin Primitive mario ;)

GnomeSlice

I remember fitting a mech with four of those gigantic missile things.

Mana

Heeey, this is cool.

GnomeSlice

4:05 AM

I could only shoot once every 30 seconds or so, but I could kill anything in one hit if I fired all four at once.

Hi @Ktash @Jin.

Haha, hi @Mana

Q: Is it possible to unlock the side door in the Temple of Hylia?

The Temple of Hylia has two exterior doors, one in the front and one on the side wall. The front door unlocks when the plot says you're supposed to go through it, but the other door never got unlocked during my playthrough. The map initially depicts both doors using the same "locked" icon, and ...

Which is, despite how it might seem, not a good thing ;)

I've got the Konami Code, rosebud, and iseedeadpeople so far

what about the doom cheat codes? god mode/noclip/etc

Ktash

@agent86 never played doom... What are the codes?

also the ones for warcraft 2: cheatcc.com/pc/warcraft2.html

@Jin that is a good one. I had forgotten that one

user2334

AoE cheat codes imo. hoyohoyo

Ktash

@agent86 I'll look into implementing it. Have to figure out what I'm going to make it do though ;)

Jin

before games had cheatcodes, i just used a hex editor to edit my saved games :)

i had sooo much money in sim city

StrixVaria

@Jin LAZERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Ullallulloo

@MarkTrapp That's what I was going to say.

Jin

4:15 AM

@StrixVaria oh hai

Ktash

@Jin Before cheats, I just used butterflys xkcd.com/378

StrixVaria

I needed to.

Ullallulloo

And AoM. bawk bawk boom

agent86

@Jin psh, before we had games, we hexedited computers and called it a game! enters cheat code getoffmylawn

Ktash

@TimStone I may have that one. I'll have to double check lol

Jin

4:17 AM

Ktash

@Ullallulloo haha, that's a good one. And I can just make my website explode lol

Anna Lear

Mortal Kombat II taught me to touch type, thanks to the "type AICULEDSSUL at the opening screen" cheat.

Ktash

Man, I'm going to have to figure out what to do with all of these cheats lol

Jin

@AnnaLear i think MK2 was one of the best fighting games in the 90s

Ktash

I may be back then for ideas for that as well ;)

Jin

4:18 AM

all the other MK games are just meh

Anna Lear

@Jin I like last year's MK9, but mostly thanks to its overall similarity to MK2. MK2 is king.

agent86

@Jin I had a colleague at a former job who was one of the guys got digitized for one of the background scenes with a bunch of monks bowing, I think in that game :)

A: Are hard tires ever better than soft ones?

The differences in a harder or softer tire compound include not only the maximum amount of grip available, and a theoretical maximum distance on each set that was identified by both you and Wonea, but most importantly compound affects how quickly the tire will heat up. The speed in which the ti...

this seems like a pretty awesome answer from a new user

Jin

@AnnaLear when mk2 came out, i was one of very few people around who had internet(usenet) access. I used to download the latest move list and printed them out. I sold them at local arcades.

I remember the first time I ever got to fight Smoke(Toasty!) people in the arcade were like OMGWTF

Anna Lear

@Jin Nice. My friends and I figured a bunch out and mostly passed them around verbally. None of us had internet access at the time.

StrixVaria

4:22 AM

@Mana I think he's talking about real tires. You know, like on real cars.

I don't think he understood the gaming context of the question.

Ktash

That is always the craziest thing to me. How in the world cheats were known by everyone before the internet.

Mana

@StrixVaria "As a good starting point, since you are playing GT5 and not killing your actual tires(man have I blown money on those), on the same track, with same temperatures, using each compound, monitor your tire temperature after 1-10 laps."

Ullallulloo

@StrixVaria Because GT5's so realistic.

Anna Lear

@Ktash BBS, magazines...

StrixVaria

@Mana I haven't played GT5, but if it has that kind of detail...

I guess maybe it's a real answer.

Mana

4:23 AM

It does.

StrixVaria

Remind me never to play that game then.

Mana

haha

It's actually pretty user-friendly despite being so in-depth

Ktash

@AnnaLear Still seems crazy to me a bit. I just remember playing as a kid, and I have no idea how I figured out what codes to use and such lol

Mana

GT3 was one of my favorite games back when I was around 13, 14 years old.

StrixVaria

At risk of summoning GnomeSlice, my favorite racing game was Diddy Kong Racing.

Mana

4:24 AM

That was my other favorite.

Tim Stone

@Mana I remember playing through the endurance races...good times, good times. Took forever, but good times.

Anna Lear

NFS all the way.

agent86

@StrixVaria it's crazy detailed (I have GT4) but you can just pretty much ask the game to figure out the best setup for your car and just drive if you want to.

Ktash

Burnout because it has a crash mode

like blitz is for football

agent86

and burnout, FTW

Tim Stone

4:25 AM

@AnnaLear Argh, The Run though... facepalm

StrixVaria

I got Grid recently, and it's too realistic for me. And it's not really that realistic.

Mana

@TimStone lmao

StrixVaria

I think if I don't have missiles to blow up the other racers, something's wrong.

Anna Lear

@TimStone Haven't played it yet... waiting for it to drop to the $10 price point on account of the unanimous facepalm everyone did on the internet. :)

Mana

Isn't it just a giant QTE?

Tim Stone

4:27 AM

It's weird. Because I respect the game for how they tried to put things together...but it just...makes no sense. And the indication at the end that there's going to be a sequel is extremely blatant. Not that I expect more from EA, but.

Jin

when I finish my home office, I'm thinking about getting a NEOGEO 4slot arcade cabinet..

Mana

@Jin oh god I love you do it

Tim Stone

@AnnaLear But yeah, waiting on a price drop is likely a good idea. :P

So who are the yogscast?

John

@Wipqozn They're some YouTube-ers famous for their Minecraft videos.

He's basically asking if they got the names they want.

And the answer is, of course, "How on earth would we know?"

@Wipqozn Thank you. I figured linking it here would get it a better comment than I could've come up with right now.

Wipqozn

John

Ugh, I can't find myself on /users because I keep looking for my original gravatar.

Q: How can I get into the large area in the bottom-right of the Sundari Flatlands?

I've been eyeing this area on the map: How can I get up there? What's in that area?

@John They're actually knowable and well documented on the Yogwiki, but YouTube personalities and their web series aren't on-topic. It'd be like saying the plots to X-Men cartoons or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are on-topic because the franchises happened to have games.

Q: Can Ahri's ultimate cause her Orb of Deception to trigger more than twice?

Ahri's Orb of Deception goes out linearly to hit the foe once as it flies out and once more when it comes back. Is it possible to use Ahri's ult to "flash" back and forth to essentially increase the number of times it hits a foe?

Q: What do the icons on the Historia Crux represent?

Q: In Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, why don't health bonus items seem to work?

In Kingdoms of Amalur, Reckoning, I have a level 4 character with 69 max health. When I equip a ring that gives me "+5 Health" the health number doesn't seem to change at all. Is this a bug?

Q: Does a Magic Mirror protect me against an Ice/Fire Storm?

I'm not sure if a Magic Mirror will protect me againat an Ice/Fire Storm as these spells are not targeted on a player, but affect everybody in the circle, while a Fireball or a Lightning Bolt or a Magic Missile, etc. are targeted on a single player...

Q: Fallout 2 Ultimate Character

Is there any Fallout 2 character build you would recommend as remarkably successful? So far I stopped at the one I found on GameSpy: Start a new character, select “Create character.” Gender and age are largely irrelevant unless you plan on seducing lots of NPC’s. Select Finesse and Gi...
