Q: How long is 1 yard in World of Warcraft?

James JiaoIn WoW, there are plenty of abilities such as blood boil that have area of effect. This area is usually measured and denoted by yards. A yard is easy to estimate in real life, but how is it estimated in the game? If a spell has a radius of 10 yards, how far does it really stretch in respect to my...

Q: When you pick up a gun do you get the entire kit of the deceased?

giulioWhen you pick up a weapon that is on the ground during BF3 multi-player, do you get the deceased's kit as well ? Not sure, But I think I have noticed a different secondary weapon (pistol) after picking up another gun when i have run out of ammo.

Q: Modern Warfare 2 - Network down?

thonixxI know Modern Warfare 2 is really outdatet especially since MW3 was released. But some weeks ago I wanted to play MW2 multiplayer just for retro feeling reasons. Then I saw "0 players currently playing". Could it possibly be that Infinityward has shut down the Modern Warfare 2 network for playin...

 
12:03 AM
that docs spreadsheet
second tab
 
Holy crap I had never even thought to try to randomly generate stuff like that.
 
I could make it just build it over 4 columns
 
I would just write a script in Python or something.
 
yeah, but then it's harder to just show people
is it literally impossible to do what I want in one cell? It would have to do one random thing, then check if the next random thing clashed and take action accordingly...
doing it in 5 is probably workable
 
Ugh. In the living room on my laptop, then the thing is just off. No warning, no shut-down, just off. And now the power button doesn't do a damn thing.
It's like 2 weeks old.
 
12:12 AM
@StrixVaria The battery come out?
 
@GnomeSlice Battery in or out, doesn't do anything.
 
Lol. That stinks...
 
I tried turning it on with the battery in but unplugged, and plugged in with the battery out.
 
what mfc?
 
Asus
 
12:17 AM
Tell him its likely heat
 
Hrmm, have way fewer dupes now, but it still does dupe
 
Laptops will shut themselves down when they get too hot so they dont melt and Not turn back on until the cool off to a certain temp

I agree with James. My ASUS has done that. Gotta keep the ventilation clear or else.
 
Hell, lets just go for a total rip-off: "xkcg"
 
12:19 AM
@NickT I am waiting for you to cut/paste badp :D
 
I don't have "a" in my pool
 
awww
 
It's not heat. The laptop is cold.
It still doesn't react to the power button.
 
plus nobody wants to read about bad pee
 
@StrixVaria remove the battery for a minute or two
 
12:20 AM
Let me try that.
 
My mother's Dell needs that fix sometimes.
 
that fixing my circuits was the most aggravating thing, because a) it's like I wasted a ton of time trying to debug it and b) good fucking luck trying to repeat that to actually figure out what was wrong
one of the tests we had at my old company involved running the power to a device through a wood rasp and dragging a wire across it
I think that was actually in the validation test plan that we had the customer approve
 
I see you hiding there @GraceNote
 
I'm not really hiding
 
Ugh it still won't turn on.
I guess I'll be spending my Friday night on the phone with customer support.
I don't have time for this today.
 
12:28 AM
remove the battery (and unplug it) and hold the power button down for several seconds, maybe mash on the keyboard a bit too
 
@GraceNote So you claim.
 
then replace
 
Oh man, this new Aesop Rock song is sick.

Q: What's "Another Way In"?

Ben BrockaThere's a new achievement and I'm stumped as to how to get it: Start a game without breaking the laboratory wall I assume it has something to do with the new Gadgets but none of them sound like they'd help. How do I get this achievement?

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh cool.

Q: Do Minecraft save files use a Python interface?

jorjunHow do Minecraft save files work? Is there a Python interface?

... is this on-topic?
 
Arqade is actually pretty good.
 
@GnomeSlice No.
 
Voting to close, then.
Actually, I think it's more like 'Not a real Question'.

Q: Where is the fifth photo in Following Role Models?

Arda XiI managed to unlock every ending of Following Role Models which grants me a very vague description of the location of every photo. Using this, I managed to find all but the fifth photo. Wherever I go, it never seems to switch away from "Very Far Away". Where am I supposed to be looking?

What.
@badp ಠ_ಠ
 
great editing, terrible acting
 
If you get pulled over for a DWI, you should get 1 chance to beat Rainbow Road on Mario Kart w/o falling off. If you can, you're free to go.
 
user15026
@BenBrocka Oh Lord
 
user15026
I can't even do that sober
 
lol
 
user15026
12:40 AM
which I know is the point, but still
 
which mariokart?
n64? no problem
wii? OH HEEELLL NO.
 
user15026
@AbbyTMiller Is that the one that has sides? One of them does.
 
better be N64, never played the wii one
 
@DerpyHooves not that i know of
n64 doesn't have sides, but it's not so bad. the wii one is brutal
 
user15026
@AbbyTMiller Maybe it is SNES then.
 
12:42 AM
Mario Kart 64's Rainbow road is the one with sides.
You can only fall off in two places, if you really try.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I thought that was the case
 
@AbbyTMiller depends on if I get forced to use the retarded wheel or I can use nun-chuck
 
wait, i'm thinking of DS as brutal
wii is pretty okay if i remember correctly
 
clearly i have some science to do
 
12:43 AM
That is an awful logo.
 
user15026
@AbbyTMiller I did not like most of the DS courses.
 
nope, me neither
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz What is that thing supposed to be?
 
You know, surprisingly, I generally hate motion controls, but I only ever play Mario Kart Wii with the Wheel.
Mario Kart DS is one of the greatest games ever made.
 
@DerpyHooves I think a necktie in sillhouette.
 
12:44 AM
I'm disgustingly good at that game.
 
@DerpyHooves But... yeah, it does not look like that.
 
People quit in games with me online.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, no, it really doesn't.
 
How can you guys not like Mario Kart DS?
=[
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Because it is not that awesome?
 
12:45 AM
It's amaaaaazzing.
One of my favourite games of all time.
 
I had three stars in everything, then it got stolen along with my DS on an airplane. So I bought it again, and got three stars on everything again.
<3
 
give me a mach bike and i will crush all comers at wario stadium on mariokart wii
gauntlet: thrown
 
@AbbyTMiller Mach Bike! <3
That one is awesome!
For reasons I;ll never understand, I always play MKWii with the wheel, but... I dunno.
 
luigi is the man on the mach bike
 
12:47 AM
My Mario Kart Wii seemed... buggy.
I got one star in everything and didn't get some of the unlocks you're supposed to.
I like using Rosalina. But mostly because she sounds like she's having an orgasm whenever she does a trick.
 
user15026
@AbbyTMiller This sounds like a challenge.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice ....you just ruined her for me forever. I thought she was cute.
 
so does luigi
 
@AbbyTMiller I'd challenge you at this, but I haven't played MKWii in like, over a year.
 
"it's luigi time!"
2
over and over
 
12:48 AM
@AbbyTMiller Heeheehee
Anyway, Mario Kart DS, I use Princess Peach for her weight, and Dry Bones' 'Dry Bomber' for it's amazing drift boosts.
It's possible to never stop boosting in that car.
 
user15026
@AbbyTMiller @Gnomeslice you people are TERRIBLE.
4
 
guilty as charged
 
Yeah, that's me.
 
user15026
grumpy face
 
12:50 AM
But as far as I know, I was supposed to get some more characters after getting at least 1 Star on each cup, and I did so on EVERY cup and didn't get them...
Also, what about Double Dash?
I used to wreck at that game.
 
i've actually never played it
 
Rah.
The cars feel much heavier than in previous games.
It's great.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I loved Double Dash. :D
 
The little train was sweet.
 
I want chocolate. I have no chocolate in the house. This is a quandary.
 
12:51 AM
But most of the tracks... weren't very good.
I need to play MKWii again.
And figure out why I haven't gotten my unlocks.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That is a problem that must be corrected!
 
I should probably also play it with the nunchuck.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I liked that course that was a really short loop.
 
I dunno why I've always used the wheel, hah.
@DerpyHooves That was in Mario Kart DS too.
 
i could NOT get the hang of the wheel
 
12:52 AM
You'd get bowser's special item, that massive shell which just bounces around forever going around, and it would just hit everyone
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I know. I liked it better on DD though. Using the two babies. :D
 
Yeah, it was crazy.
 
@DerpyHooves But, correcting it would mean... going outside.
 
user15026
@AbbyTMiller I found I would oversteer a lot.
 
@DerpyHooves Lol, they would go around like two times on one special
 
12:52 AM
@DerpyHooves i found i would just... not... steer. a lot.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That is a problem. Someone needs to invent a chocolate delivery service.
 
like, chill in the grass running into a tree a bunch of times in a row.
 
Yeah, I probably actually would have done a lot better without the wheel in MKWii.
 
user15026
@AbbyTMiller Oh god. That is basically what happens to me in most MK games.
 
I'm probably the only one here with the Golden wheel by their name online though. =]
 
12:53 AM
comingsoon.brisketlab.com/?lrRef=yjMNs oh god, this is a thing?
 
@DerpyHooves for some reason, it was WAY worse for me in diddy kong racing for n64 than it ever ways for any of the mariokarts
 
LOL have you guys ever heard of 'Banjo Pilot' for Gameboy advance?
 
user15026
@AbbyTMiller Especially if the hovercraft was involved.
 
@DerpyHooves OH GOD THE HOVERCRAFT.
 
It's a banjo-kazooie themed racing game. It's a kart racer, but in airplanes. But it plays like mario kart, you can only go up an down the height of the screen
 
user15026
12:54 AM
@GnomeSlice It rings a vague bell but I do not think I ever played it
 
WORST CRAFT EVER, THAT.
 
Anyway, if you fly over the grass, your plane slows down.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
 
The reason I refuse to play Diddy Kong Racing for DS is because they RUINED THE HOVERCRAFT
 
sorry, the air's pretty turbulent from all these blades of grass, gotta slow down
 
user15026
12:55 AM
@AbbyTMiller Oh, this. I tried playing DKR on the DS port, and got to the overcraft stuff, and basically went....no. F this. And stopped playing.
 
'underground smoked meat guild'
 
The DKR 64 hovercraft is my favourite vehicle of any racing game, ever.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz blink Whaaa
 
@DerpyHooves They ruined it, play it on N64.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice You must be a closet masochist.

http://comingsoon.brisketlab.com/?lrRef=yjMNs oh god, this is a thing?
@DerpyHooves ^^
 
user15026
@AbbyTMiller I regret (as I often do) that I am in Canada!
 
@DerpyHooves Are you kidding? It's the fastest, doesn't slow down off-road, can cross water, can jump over obstacles, etc.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice ITS TERRIBLE
 
@GnomeSlice and i can't drive the thing worth a damn.
 
@DerpyHooves In the DS game, yes.
 
12:56 AM
i was always ok with the plane in DKR64
 
Which is why I refuse to play it.
 
and ok with the car, but that DAMN hovercraft
 
user15026
@AbbyTMiller I liked the plane, once I figured out how it worked.
 
user15026
@AbbyTMiller It seriously makes the game so much less awesome
 
12:57 AM
DKR 64 is my favourite game of all time and they destroyed it with the DS port. They ruined the Genie, the Hovercraft, the touch controls ruin your screen, the physics are terrible, etc
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't know if I should raise a bewildered brow at "underground smoked meat guild" or contemplate the potential deliciousness of secret brisket...so I'll do both
 
@TimStone That is basically my reaction.
 
Diddy King Racing is amazing. I was devastated when I tried the DS port. ;_;
 
It is terrible
Have you guys not played the original?
 
1:00 AM
on n64?
 
Yes.
 
that's the only version i've played
never played the DS version
 
I want secret brisket now.
 
GOOD.
 
and i never will! :P
 
1:01 AM
The only thing I like that they added in the DS game is the T.T. trials.
 
user15026
I have played both versions.
 
You get to draw your track and then race TT on it.
They end up looking like Rainbow road.
The stupid Genie balloon challenge thing is dumb.
Silver coins are where its at.
The hovercraft is amazing.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I liked the Genie balloon challenge! And you can unlock the Silver Coin Challenges, so its the best of both worlds.
 
Man, I really want to play this again now. I always use Conker, and I've no idea why. I think I liked the silver/white vehicles. Bumper too.
 
user15026
The T.T trials were pretty cool, though
 
1:03 AM
@DerpyHooves I found the DS game way, way, way overused the 'touch controls' thing.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Isn't that one of the major points of the system, though?
 
The vehicle customization thing was nice too, but I only played the game three times I think. IT played so differently I couldn't stand to play it.
@DerpyHooves Yeah, but just because it has it, doesn't mean you need to use it.
Like the 'spin your wheel to get a boost' thing just ruins your screen.
I guess I was expecting it to be exactly the same as the N64 game.
Sigh
The physics were completely different.
Also, some people in here were asking earlier about my group project, so if you want to know what it is, here's what's currently done.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice That is true. I did not like that one bit.
 
And that silly 'trace wizpig's face' thing didn't even WORK. IT took me like ten minutes to get it to work.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I don't know what you mean
 
1:10 AM
@DerpyHooves There was a thing in the island. A door that isn't there in the original game.
Had wizpig's face on it.
You have to trace it.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Weird.
 
And it took me a long ass time.
Because it has to be so precise.
I thought that wasn't what I had to do after it didn't work for like 5 minutes.
Bout time I got around to listening to this in full.
 
I need something to listen to, gimme an album name
Problem: my Minecraft mob grinder just kills from the fall so I get no experience. Solution: skeet shooting
 
One of the most amazing chiptune albums I've heard in forever.
 
1:25 AM
good so far, will the play button stream the whole thing on their site or do I have to download it?
 
@NickT No idea, I think it's like a bandcamp
Interesting, there's some chiptune in the Nitronic Rush sountrack... neat!
Yeah, I actually posted two different albums
Man, I wish I could do music like this.
Or, you know. At all.
 
1:42 AM
What is a good reference for SE markup?
 
@skovacs1 The [ ? ] in the corner of the editor provides some inline Markdown help, along with a link to the extended version (which in turn links to the original Markdown syntax guide)
 
@TimStone thanks. How did I miss that?

This has to be a joke.
Still one of my favourites.
Disguised weapons.
> This cleverly disguised weapon may look like a tissue box, but is actually a Benelli M3 12 gauge shotgun disguised as a tissue box. The ultra-soft quilted tissues serve as a comfortable grip on the pump-action shotgun. Also, if you find yourself sneezing during the heat of combat, you will have a handy tissue box ready for action. Asking $1500 for the weapon. Additional tissue boxes are an extra $5 per box.
Heeheehee
 
user15026
 
> Still thirsty for justice? Try this badass M16A2 disguised as a 24-pack of soda. The box has two finely crafted holes on each side to allow for any kind of optics (not included) that you wish to attach. This weapon is only for sale if you have a Class III permit.

Champion, Lunatic Monkey Cult
my main's name was 6of9
all my chars were named #of9
 
FAE
@Jin Ah, I never rolled on Champion, I was on Virtue.
 
Jin
I really liked CoH, too bad that game had no end game content, crafting or economy..
 
FAE
@Jin It wasn't really built for endgame content from the beginning. They have the Incarnate Trials (started in issue... 19 I think it was) now which are their attempt at raiding, but yeah, eh. They introduced crafting in issue 9, which is around when I started. There's definitely a lot of market PvP nowadays. :P

Q: How should I fill a tank?

Nick TOn a floating-island challenge map I'm making a giant tank of water to try to get squid to spawn. How should I go about filling it; top-down or bottom-up? What's the quickest method to have it all filled with source water so I don't have strange currents all in it?

 
FAE
@Jin Yep. They went F2P recently, but they're being awful about their cash shop, which is why I stopped subscribing. I still keep an eye on it though and pop in to retain SG leadership.
 
If you guys haven't seen some of the suggestions in Naming for Gaming I highly suggest checking them out... Duck Tales... woo woo!
