@Lazers Need somebody who played this game to review the title edit on this question
 
in case you were disappointed that we didn't get to see what was behind the pyro's mask in Meet the Pyro:

A: How can I reset crime counts in the General Stats screen?

TizzHmm, i've seen a command like this : - player.setcrimegold XXX But for general stats the command is: - modpcmiscstat (stat) (integer) BUT the CTD bug you have is common, people are asking about it and at present there isnt a fix. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/615805-the-elder-scrolls-v-s...

This answer has been here for half a year and nobody noticed that a good chunk of that comment is missing because the XSS filter stripped out the angular brackets? Ugh
 
@agent86 I lol'd.
 
@YiJiang I don't bother clicking 99% of Skyrim questions anymore.
The ones I do, it's to close vote because they are easily recognized dupes.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz there's a new world order stack exchange proposal?

Q: Wht is my succession law, exactly?

letitbeei'm new to CK2 and i get confused a lot. I started as Earl of Ulster, and before my initial Earl died, i changed succession law to 'elective'. I made my daughter elected (barely - some mayor almost got elected instead). A bit later she was able to claim the title of Duchess of Ulster. But then ...

 
@Lazers wow, I about fell asleep reading this question, and the screenshot just made my eyes cross.
 
@BenBrocka Yup! Y'know, for when the jews and the lizard people take over.
 
just in case you're too inept to cram a wedge of lime into your imported mexican beer, here's a tool for that: amazon.com/Corona-Lime-Bomber-Squeezes-Bottle/dp/B001LMUMNG
which is the size of the bottle of beer. GENIUS!
 
Whoops.
 
To be fair, if you're dumb enough to think that Corona is good enough to deserve a sophisticated lime delivery mechanism, you're probably dumb enough to buy one.

Heh.
 
In light of the editing of this answer, the comment on it is pretty hysterical: apple.stackexchange.com/a/19189/43

Q: Can't do anything except move

Jeffrey LinFor some strange reason, nobody on my Bukkit server can break or place blocks or use blocks (crafting table, furnace) without me turning them into an operator. I believe this to the the biggest glitch that minecraft could have. It is very annoying to the players and after speaking to a few people...

 
@EBongo yeah. pre-ordering unlocks an updated BO2 version of the map, one assumes

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, hey, that does explain why my old WoW guildie sent me a spam message. He has a yahoo account.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I wasn't interested until the last word. Haha.
 
@EbonDreamer They're all offline atm, but there's testing tomorrow!

Q: What's the logic behind the final puzzle in The Pandora Directive?

Ben MillwoodThe very final puzzle of The Pandora Directive, where you have to find the right sequence of is one I've only ever solved myself via the game's interactive hint system. You're given an initial segment of the sequence but I can't identify either a pattern to it or any relevance to the symbols/...

 
@FAE ... No. No no no no no.
 
Ahahahaha
Oh god, I really want to see a screenshot from @FAE
 
@FAE Meeee to. I wasn't going to say anything, though, ahaha. So I'm glad someone did.
 
own3d.tv/iksMW looks like Heroic Scarlet Monestary.

@YiJiang It's not so much the actual kerning as the fact that I am tired and sleepy and also have a dirty mind.
 
Oh, by the way, I went furniture shopping this weekend, and was unable to find a suitable desk for my new apartment. Anyone have suggestions on where to find a basic desk / table I could use as a desk? I'm not looking for much more than a wide table.
 
@EbonDreamer Ikea.
Though they discontinued the Jerker.
 
Online or Ikea store?
@LessPop_MoreFizz must. not. Consider this. with previous kerning comment.
 
@EbonDreamer Either.
@EbonDreamer ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60111123 isn't quite as nice as the old Jerker was, but similar design.
 
I'm using a ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S19852113, but with a glass surface
 
2:36 AM
The Jerker was pretty special.
 
ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S99870844. Don't quite remember what I paid for it, but it was cheaper than this I think? Well, regional differences I suppose
 
@EbonDreamer That's the one.
 
Wow, that is rather neat
Although I'm not quite sure if I want "Shrine to Jerker" and "Welcome Jerker Seekers" in my internet history

@YiJiang To say nothing of having that comment starred on the bridge.
eurgh. Okay. How do you do inherited constructors in C# again?
Actually, no parent constructor. That makes it easy.
 
2:45 AM
@EbonDreamer You remember @spugsley and my table for our desktops, right? It's just ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50121453 with some of the legs they had there.
Something like $50, no fancy desk bits, just a table.
 
@IanPugsley I remember looking at them from across the room.
Also, the thought of buying a table and table legs separately is weird.
 
@EbonDreamer Yeah, but if you're buying from Ikea the legs are going to be separate anyway
 
3:07 AM
Annie Hall is not on Netflix. This is unacceptable.
 
3:37 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have to ask, what was so good about it (I'm not an expert on desks & how to shop for them)
 
@Alok Cheap, modular, durable, etc.
 
4:06 AM
That would still apply to a lot of Ikea desks (and doubtless others too) :)
 
Ikea products aren't that modular, usually

10:51 AM
Is it a problem that a significant number of 'contributions' to the site by new users seem to be, well, not an answers, but silly trite comments which only seem to annoy and waste the time of mods?
Anyway, is the low quality filter on for this site?
 
11:15 AM
@YiJiang I guess some people understand that while they can't comment... they want to nonetheless
maybe if we had peer reviewed comments... but that'd be hell
 
I mean, the new contributions are answers that are not an answers that are so bad they aren't even worth turning into comments
I didn't quite put that correctly
 
There's a lot of crap in /tools at the moment
 
If you scroll down the front page and look for bumps made by new 1 rep users around 75% or more of the posts (in the form of new answers) can be deleted without hesitation
There, another one. It can't be that hard to automatically block some of these rubbish from being posted in the first place, can it?
 
for every restriction you put on a new user that is spamming, you're also restricting the new user that was trying to be helpful
 
True, but the ratio of useless:useful is pretty darn high right now
 
11:26 AM
True, but every user on the site was a new user at one point in time
 
I just don't believe that you can't have a heuristic that can't automatically block valuable users I see on the front page now like Cum, Ur Nightmare and LUKE "MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS STUCK" STER that somehow seem to cause the majority of bumps on slow days without causing problems for real new users
I know there are a lot of restrictions on new users but the current ones suck, and don't seem to prevent people from actually doing stupid things
 
This is the reason we have /review and /tools. Any automatic system will block some potentially good content, manual moderation is the only way, and it's really not that bad at the moment
 
You could write rules that could take a guess, but automated rules will always catch innocents in the crossfire
You don't have to be a dribbling wreck with a negative IQ to accidentally leave CAPSLOCK on.
 
@ickleislands The correlation between ALL CAPS and answers that should be deleted immediately is very close to 1
 
@YiJiang very close is not exact
 
11:33 AM
@YiJiang who, who and who?
@ickleislands the site can simply reject your answer...
 
@YiJiang I believe CAPS-itude is used as a metric of quality
 
@ickleislands Alright, it is exactly one. There is no situation where an answer consists entirely of all caps is acceptable as an answer.
I wonder if it's possible to feed the contents of deleted answers with the reasons why they're deleted to a Bayesian classifier

Q: What happens with 100% reduction of control impairing effects?

cronosDoes this grant immunity to status effects such as stun, charm, freeze, fear etc? Also, is this achievable?

 
@QAdp at no point did I say it couldn't
 
@YiJiang Interesting idea
 
11:35 AM
@QAdp Heh, you deleted those users
 
I love how the team decided to fix our Community user having more than 1 reputation
 
@YiJiang It would be a good way of testing potential new metrics
 
The only problem is there's no data to test it on
 
@YiJiang the content of the answer, regardless of caps, could be valid. That is why people can edit and adjust formatting
 
Combinations of keyword scans, user rep, CAPS-itude
@YiJiang SE have all the data - they could easily test such a system
 
11:36 AM
Yeah, of course such a system would never match human moderators, but it would be interesting to see the results
 
@ickleislands It though all caps answers were automatically converted to lowercase, but I may be imagining things
 
@QAdley They aren't
@ickleislands Hmmmm.
 
@YiJiang Maybe it's just SO
 
You're probably right on that count. I think I might actually have seen one of those cases now that you mentioned it
@QAdley No, not even on SO. It was suggested as an answer to the MSO post on all caps posts, and the suggestion was shot down pretty quickly
 
@YiJiang It was shot down because it was deemed to be too rare
If we could show that gamers are MORE PRONE TO USING ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME then we may have a case
OR PERHAPS WE COULD JUST ALL USE ALL CAPS TO MAKE EVERYTHING MORE UNIFORM
 
11:41 AM
@QAdley Yes but that's the original solution, which is to ban these questions. The suggestion to turn them to all lower case was proposed as an alternative in an answer
That answer was shot down too
 
@QAdley do it, gives me loads of editing to do
 
@ickleislands I CAN EASILY USE MY AUTOMATED EDITING TOOL TO CONVERT EVERYTHING ON THE SITE INTO CAPS
IT WOULD PROBABLY ONLY TAKE A DAY OR TWO TO PROCESS EVERYTHING
 
@QAdley ty please do, can you do it at night though so I'm free to edit everything back without disturbance?
 
@ickleislands OK, FRONT-PAGE MIGHT BE NUKED FOR A WHILE BUT IT'S FOR THE GREATER GOOD
 
Don't worry about nuking, I'll get the blame for nuking anyway
 
11:43 AM
BRB - CAPSING THE WHOLE SITE...
 
Hahaha
The bounty by Community is because the actual user who added the bounty got deleted, right?
 
wat
 
Or does the community bot actually give out bounties now?
 
Probably because user deleted
QAdp's edit is a little minor, even by my standards
or was it just a bump?
 
I think it was to bump it? Though that's nowhere near the most popular unanswered question on this site
Not sure why he'd want to bump it
 
11:46 AM
@QAdley I wonder if edits are rate limited.
 
@StrixVaria They are CAPTCHA limited.
 
@StrixVaria Not from my experience. Maybe it kicks in after a while, but one edit every few seconds is maintainable.
 
@YiJiang Oh yeah, I have run into this before.
 
@YiJiang My robot has never had to face a CAPTCHA
And captchas are easily automated
 
@QAdley High rep users get limited number of them, because the system trusts them
And ironically you use that privilege to run a bot :P
 
11:47 AM
@YiJiang I usually get them when repeatedly editing the same question
@YiJiang The LAZORNATOR 3000 has not been engaged in a while, I'm too scared by its powa
 
Yeah, not sure what sort of criteria the system uses to decide to show the thing
 
@QAdley I just wanted to see the revisions page with the bounty history :P

I've rarely hit a captcha, usually on meta when I cut and paste something large. what annoys me more is the between-line delay on chat. makes it hard to post a onebox + a line of context.

@agent86 Yeah, I run into that as well a lot
 
I'll pimp my MSO request for anti-oneboxing again today:
 
@agent86 I still have this open in a tab at home so I can follow progress on it.

Back at work after baby leave. Boo!

@Sterno How are the missus and the kiddo doing?
 
eve. eve. curse you eve.
 
@Sterno Where I work, paternity leave is unpaid. Is that normal?
I figure, having just had a baby, the money is even more important.
 
@FAE Awesome, except as relates to amounts of sleep
@StrixVaria Unpaid here too
 
die, eve, DIE
 
My wife and I combined make decent money, so I could afford to take 3 weeks unpaid
 
FAE
1:25 PM
@Sterno I'm glad to hear it! Minus the sleep bit, but that kind of comes with the territory, I hear.
 
@Sterno Do you get state-mandated paternity leave?
 
@QAdley Up to 6 weeks
 
@Sterno Not bad
 
My employer actually lets you do up to 3 months if you have a good reason
 
@Sterno Wow, what's a good reason?
 
1:27 PM
so quitting cigarettes but not weed doesn't work very well
 
@ickleislands Not as far as your lungs are concerned, probably
 
@QAdley Well, for at least 1 lady at work, "Because I want to" was good enough
 
@Sterno !
 
I think how good your reason needs to be comes down to how badly they need you
 
@QAdley the short term damage from coughing might disagree, but in the long term certainly
 
1:29 PM
I'm in software development. It's a rare person who is absolutely critical. We have a lot of cross knowledge on our teams
 
@Sterno Ah. 'I should have a long holiday, because basically I do nothing here anyway'
 
the problem with quitting one but not the other is that my tolerance plummeted
 
@QAdley that too :)
 
@Sterno Ideally nobody should be critical. That's a recipe for disaster...
 
That's the goal. Sometimes still happens, but it's rare, and if you know you're going to be taking time off in advance, you can usually make sure you spread that knowledge around before you leave
 
FAE
1:32 PM
@ickleislands This chat is completely google-indexed, by the way, in case that's a potential concern of yours.
 
@FAE Start here and read upwards, DEA agents!
Based on @ickleislands, they'll have to be a law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over Earth. Justice League, maybe?
 
FAE
@Sterno Ah, that made me laugh, thanks.
 
@FAE my care for google is so little that it's unmeasurable
 
boo
 
@FAE my care for governments who base their opinions upon how they can tax things is even less
 
1:35 PM
@ickleislands I'm pretty sure that covers every government
 
I suppose the sentence could be reworded but most of my other ways of expressing that statement could be deemed as insulting
 
FAE
@ickleislands Some people do care and don't realize that about chat, so I just wanted to give you a heads up, that's all.
 
@FAE thank you for pointing it out :)
 
FAE
@ickleislands No prob. :) Congrats on quitting smoking cigarettes, by the way. I know it's difficult. My mom's smoked for nearly 50 years now and has still not managed to successfully quit. :(
 
You'd have to be pretty paranoid to worry about Google caching casual conversation
yeah quitting cigarettes was actually really easy for me
I just decided I was quitting
haven't smoked since
the hard part was filling my lungs full of the other smoke
it just didn't want to go in without me coughing
 
FAE
1:39 PM
@ickleislands I wish it was that easy for everyone.
 
I imagine if you've been smoking it for longer then it could be more difficult
I have a lot of willpower though
and the day I quit I woke up with immense chest pains
so it was very much an enforced choice, chest pains turned out to be nothing but it was still a really good reminder to sort myself out
 
FAE
@ickleislands Well, I hope things continue to go well for you
 
I think it will be fine, once I find a replacement bong
managed to break my old one on saturday
by being impatient and forgetful
 
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE
 
@FAE ironically, I'm finding it harder to quit World of Warcraft
crack cocaine implemented as software
 
1:47 PM
@ickleislands My wife found it impossible to quit WOW until getting pregnant.
Then she quit 3 days later.
 
FAE
@ickleislands Yeeeeeeeah, MMOs are like that.
 
You just need to get pregnant! It might require some extra science since you sound like you're male.
 
I sound like I'm male?
rofl
such a sad day in my life
 
Well then in this case the science should be easy!
 
I tried WoW. It was so awkward
 
1:48 PM
To be fair, I assume everyone on the Internet is male until I have extensive evidence otherwise.
When I met my wife online, I assumed she was male too.
7
That ended up sounding wrong.
 
FAE
@Sterno What.
 
I tried WoW, I liked the night elf starting area, within 20 minutes of "trying" WoW I ended up owning a copy of the game, the first expansion, paid for the first month, <loud noises in the back of mind getting quieter and quieter as subconscious is disabled>
 
the interface sucked (where's my objective? why do I have a minimap but no objective dot on the fucking minimap!?!??). the attacking sucked (do I really have to treat basic attacking as a 'skill' to activate from the bottom bar?!??!). the objectives sucked (fetch me this, and that, and that, and that, and that). the MMO bit sucked (yeah, you see other people on your same menial tasks but there's 0 coop).
 
@Sterno as much as I understand exactly what you just said, I'm going to star it out of context
 
@FAE I used to play MUDs back in the day with a lot of people who pretended to be female IRL who weren't. It became safest to just assume everyone was male. :)
Met my wife on WOW. She was in my guild. She initially didn't speak on Vent "because her mic was broken"
 
1:50 PM
@QAdp quests, not a problem, I worked out the user interface, the problem I have/had is I'm sucked in by the story
 
Which is a pretty classic "I'm really a guy but just pretending to be a girl" excuse
 
FAE
@Sterno The idea of it there needing to be a "safe" assumption is something that rubs me the wrong way a little, but I understand what you mean.
 
@FAE Well, I mean "safe" as in "how should I respond if this person is flirting with me"
99.9% of the time I don't care which gender a person is
 
@Sterno I'm largely of the opinion that gender on the internet is irrelevant, it has no baring on how I communicate with others
 
FAE
@Sterno That's what I mean. The "fear" of some other person potentially being "not a 'real' female" (whatever that is supposed to be defined as) is kind of homophobic, and that is what rubs me the wrong way.
 
1:54 PM
@FAE I guess. But as someone who is not homosexual, I wouldn't want to build what seemed to be that sort of relationship with someone pretending to be a woman who later turned out not to be. And it's got very little to do with sex. You really just don't want to build a relationship with anyone who has been lying to you from the start.
I wasn't playing WOW to meet women, so assuming everyone was a man was also "safe" in that I'm just ignoring any flirtations or relationships of that sort.
Obviously it didn't end up working out that way though.
I can understand that not wanting to flirt with a man may make me a bit homophobic, but that one's kind of hard-wired into me, and hopefully that's as far as any homophobia I have goes.
 
FAE
@Sterno Oh, I definitely understand the lying thing. It's just that I run into a lot of that kind of homophobia and also transphobia and it's... sucky. For example, you listed the mic thing as a "classic excuse", whereas for many people I know, the mic thing is often "I'm female and don't want to be harassed" or "I'm MtF or FtM trans and am self-conscious about my voice and passing" and stuff like that.
 
What's this!? An intelligent, non-argumentative discussion on The Bridge!? Gods... The Mayans were right...
 
@FAE I think I understand. to be clear, it was never a "Oh, I bet this is really a dude, let's all point and laugh at the pretender!" thing. It was just "I'm going to ignore any flirtations by this person" thing. Otherwise, I'd treat them just like anyone else. In my wife's case, we still chatted about comic books and sci-fi and stuff. I just sort of ignored her early flirtations. Which is something we joke about now
To be fair, she initially figured I was a 50 year old man, because I used the word "Howdy"
:)
 
FAE
@Sterno Yeah, I getcha. To be clear, I wasn't assuming you were that kind of jerk and didn't mean to imply you were. I just wanted to explain my experiences.
 
@FAE you bring up a lot of good points, I usually just tell people no and why I don't want to

I have noticed that what seems like a good 50% of the guys on MMOs get really sleazy around women in their guilds.

when you say guys though you mean boys
 
@ickleislands Depends how you define it. Definitely know guys that are 30+ that act that way
Or in at least one case, a married 40+ guy
 
not sure if you saw my pre-edit
 
2:05 PM
@ickleislands I didn't
 
figured it wasn't appropriate
well, it wasn't appropriate, but covered it
;p
 
FAE
@Sterno Well, some women can be that way too, to be fair. It's just that the reception of that is often different than when men are.
 
insert sexist comment here
 
@FAE That is true. That is very very true.
 
@Wipqozn more sexism
 
2:07 PM
@ickleislands Inadvertantly sexist remark while complaining about your sexist remarks
 
@Sterno complains about sexism while being sexist in the complaint
 
@FAE That is so annoying. When I'm trying to play a game I don't want to hear a bunch of asshats harassing a player.
 
FAE
@Wipqozn Hopefully, most people don't.
 
It's one of the reasons I turned off all voice chat when I used to play on XBL.
 
@Wipqozn XBL is the worst.

@Wipqozn yeah, my astro mixamp means I'm essentially always wearing a headset on XBL, but I totally put myself in a party regardless of whether or not there's anyone else to play with.
 
@Wipqozn in my experience (I've played multiple Modern Warfare games on XBL at launch), this is a bit of an exaggeration, and it's nothing that a quick report + mute won't get rid of

2:15 PM
@IanPugsley In my experience it isn't. At least when I used to play MW, which was along time ago.
LAst time I played one was 2 weeks after MW2 come out.
@QAdp The best way to moderate.
and when something goes wrong you'll vanish into the darkness, so someone else can take the blame.
 
@Wipqozn on average I'll have to mute someone probably 1 time per hour or so, and it's easy
 
fml, third party installed SQL server on their box using the wrong collation
 
@IanPugsley At least when I played it was a lot worse. I'd be muting almost everyone speaking, so I just stopped using voice chat.
Every so often I would put it on, but would quickly remove it again.
Perhaps the community has just aged since I played.
 
@Wipqozn good lord
 
@ickleislands Sounds easy to fix
Oh no wait, sounds tedious and painful
 
2:18 PM
Well I need to shower. D&D today and what not.
I should get sushi before we start too...
 
@Wipqozn As in you've been playing, or you're about to play?
 
@QAdley Playing in ~hour
Well, technically I'm playing PAthfinder. but that's basically the same thing.
Considering it was created to be the next version of D&d for people that hated 4.0.
 
@Wipqozn You've got 6 hours left to spend a ton of money on an awesome Pathfinder module!
 
@QAdley easy to fix, sure, annoying - a little, the aftermath is the one that bothers me, when I spend more time arguing with the customer about why I charged them for it
 
@ickleislands Ah, fair enough.
 
2:27 PM
especially considering the install document I sent them clearly details this important requirement in some small print somewhere
 
Steam summer sale! Where are you!
 
hey guys :)
 
@Fluttershy seconded
@spugsley good morning!
 
FAE
@spugsley Hellos!
 
@IanPugsley I know Steam sales are your weakness.
 
2:32 PM
@Fluttershy For something to be considered a weakness, it usually needs to be bad.
 
FAE
@IanPugsley They're kind of bad for your wallet
 
I think the only thing saving me from steam sales this summer is the sad fact I already bought or own all the games I would get on sale

Q: How do I get the last prism in Winners?

Jonathan ThieleThere is a prism hiding behind the wall towards the end of Winners, and I have no idea how to get it. The best strategy I could think of was to try and get some edge time on one of the moving panels near the prism and then change to another panel mid-air, but I'm not even sure if you can switch f...

Q: Is it possible to join a different secret society?

ShinraiCan you change your faction without rerolling your character? How? If so, can you access faction-exclusive cutscenes for content you've missed? (The only real compelling reason to change factions short of PvP, I suppose).

 
Maybe witcher 2
 
2:36 PM
@Fluttershy The creator of said card doesn't share my perspective on the reasons to buy something with respect to Steam games. :P
 
@IanPugsley Make the sale happen.
 
@Fluttershy if anything's gonna happen today, it'll happen at 10am PST or whatever
 
@IanPugsley Yep. 2 hours and 20 minutes and we will find out.
 
They usually sale right around 4th of july weekend
 
@IanPugsley oh man, you have much better luck than I do then. MW2 was the worst, since I don't think they allowed party chat in most of the lobbies. I still have scars. I got called all manner of racist things that didn't even apply to my race. I think I overheard a conversation once about a couple of guys who wanted to beat up some people because they were lesbians and wanted to go to prom.
I've got a short list of things I'm interested in. I really should write it down or use the steam wishlist thingybob
 
2:45 PM
@agent86 oof - that's what reporting is for, I guess
 
Thingybob?
 
I enjoy watching my 65 year old father play MW3 online and seeing his reactions to the crap that the 13 year olds playing spew out
 
@IanPugsley blackops was interesting too, since they allowed you to use these stencil/icon things to make your own "player logo." @EBongo and I had our own little meta-game of finding and reporting the most offensive ones every day. Sometimes that was more fun than playing the game. I'd say we averaged probably a dozen reports an hour.
 
My dad doesn't seem particularly savvy at reporting or muting people
 
@agent86 ah, see, I didn't play Black Ops online
 
2:47 PM
@YiJiang y'know, doohickey, thingybob, whatchamacallit
 
Ah, thingadongdongs.
 
@IanPugsley after a while it all kind of runs together.
I'd say I'm not going to buy blackops 2 this year, but I'm sure I'll get roped into it :(
 
FAE
@agent86 Don't do eeeeeet
 
at least there's a new halo, which means I probably won't have to buy it until after christmas. although we went in for CoD elite this year, so that'd be kind of a waste.
@FAE it's that dastardly @EBongo.
 
@agent86 Stop giving Activision your money for reskinned garbage!
 
2:52 PM
@Sterno Yeah, I saw that last week.
I'd pledge, but I'm cheap. Plus they've already gone well over their goal.
 
@Fluttershy I have a disease :(
co-op-itis
 
@agent86 So get anything else! Do you have Castle Crashers?
 
@Fluttershy don't look at me! I play practically everything of value.
 
I hadn't even played a single CoD game before he goaded me into getting MW2 + XBL gold!
I'm innocent!
 
2:55 PM
Planning on starting Max Payne 3 once I install my new PSU today
 
@agent86 That's where it should've stopped. MW2 was the height of the franchise and anything released after it was trash.
 
@tiddy didn't you get that via the grant? seems like you're long overdue on your questions.
 
@Fluttershy Wasn't Black Ops after MW2?
I liked Black Ops a lot better
Plus, CODBLOPS is fun to say.
