@badp yo, the scout is so cool.
> Mann vs. Machine is a new co-operative game for Team Fortress 2 that lets you and five friends wage a desperate battle to stop a lethal horde of robots from deploying a bomb in one of Mann Co.’s many strongholds. Take advantage of breaks between waves to upgrade your abilities and weapons. Survive all the waves in any of a variety of missions to earn incredible loot.
ugh. upgrades
but um. loot.
WHO CARES THE SCOUT IS COOL
> My last question got closed, which sucked because I play on the PC, not the XBox, and the answer for the XBox one was not helpful. So let me restate my problem.
@badp So that's where Grey Mann comes in...
00:04
@Mana Bubblegum's kinda nineties'
facedesk
@badp and the 90s are cool.
They've also been over by a dozen years maaaaaan.
Also, yay, Fanatic badge!
@badp that's why they're cool.
00:10
@Mana So in 12 years Rebecca Black's going to be cool? Maaaaan, you're not making any sense
@Sterno If you change it before exploitation - will the bad guys still know for sure what the actual pwd was?
Say it was 'hunter2' but you changed it to 'hunter3', do you need to change the 'hunter2's elsewhere ;)

Q: I got Tropico 1-3 in Steam. Should I play them in order?

RodolfoThe package came with the first 3 Tropicos. Should I play Tropico 1 then 2 then 3? or is there no real point in playing the old ones? Usually if there is some sort of story/campaign I like to play in order, but just installed the 1st one and there doesn't seem to be any, just scenarios.

Q: Lag in Prototype 2

BenSo my computer is pretty good, it can all but max out max payne 3, mass effect 3 and plenty of other third in the series 3 games. But for some reason, even on the lowest settings (1280*800 resolution with everything set to off or low) prototype 2 still lags a bunch. What is the deal with that?

@Koviko Ok, This video is almost up to 10m views now.. testament to how many people have a great sense of humor ;)
Quick question about this site, I want to ask a question related to a skyrim mod, specifically about a mod called personalised music.. I wanted to ask music suggestions for exploration. Because it lets you change up the music in the background... But, would that be a valid question on arqade.com or not?
00:27
@Hugabooga Asking for help in using the mod would work fine. Music suggestions would not be fine.
Unless you mean within the predefined subset of music that's already included in the mod or game, but honestly, at that point, the question is still kinda way too subjective to be really useful, even if it isn't a list-of-x in the classic sense.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I just wanted to get some suggestions because the mod's page isn't the most updated thing in the world as far as comments... and yes, only exploration related music.
I will think of how to word it/ask it.. thanks for the answer though. :D
@Hugabooga Don't Ask It. That's my point.
'only exploration related music' is not what I mean. I mean if there is a predefined set of music that were, for instance, included as part of the mod, then that would be less bad, but it would still be a bad question, merely for a smaller subset of the reasons that a question not limited in that way would be bad.
I see what you mean now, rather not hassle the website with the question now with that info in mind.
Sam Raimi's new movie is The Exorcist With Jews.
ahahahahahahaha
@GnomeSlice Now for the important question: Do you know who McNulty is?
Otherwise, I think me and @Mana will have to do Bad Things to your face until you learn.
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...No, I do not.
@GnomeSlice Well then. You, like @mana need to watch The Wire.
He's only halfway through season one, so you two can compare notes!
00:50
@LessPop_MoreFizz I dunno what that is.
@GnomeSlice It's a TV series that ran on HBO for 5 years. It's not just the greatest crime drama ever, it's literally The Best Piece of Dramatic Television Ever Made.
That is not hyperbole of any sort.
If its not Dr Who, then it doesnt count @LessPop_MoreFizz
Sorry man
@LessPop_MoreFizz Lol, Youtube. Nope, sorry.
That's the first scene of the first episode of the Wire. it does a pretty good job of explaining exactly why you need to watch this.
@James Dr. Who is more fun. The Wire is better.
@James ...Dr. Who isn't really what I would call 'dramatic television'.
00:53
@GnomeSlice Why?
There are plenty of tear jerking omg moments in that show
Someone else could probably explain it better than I.

Q: Playing high elf mage with spells only

SimonBSI bought Skyrim a few days ago and have only been playing it for a short while. I am playing a high elf mage and would like to know if you think it would be possible to play with spells only or will I need to invest in a sword, mace or maybe a shield?

This is a duplicate, I'm pretty sure.
20
Q: If I want to focus on magic, can I ignore weapons entirely?

ResorathI usually like playing mages, but in Skyrim you can choose to diversify between any number of combinations of weapons or spells. Is it a good idea to go all-out with just investing in magicka without regard for weapon training? My concern is that magicka will not be powerful enough as the game p...

lololol, the comments on this are hilarious.
> Will Clint Eastwood’s role include painting a wagon?
Eastwood: Get off my lawn! Ford: Get off my plane!

Both exchange a glance.

Ford/Eastwood: Jinx!!

Eastwood shits his pants. Ford grumbles a little and falls asleep.
01:10
@fbueckert shit, I fucked up
@James I know super-viral when I see it :D
Hi Bridge!
So, I just re-watched Crash again. Still one of the best movies ever made.
*gasp* It's not in the IMDb Top 250!
@Koviko That guy is just awesome :)
@James Most definitely. I checked some of his other videos and, while not as awesome, they are all cool.
@Koviko I watched em all that night, his behind the scenes channel is a bit more amusing to me than the songs in real life :)
@James I might have to check that, as well.
01:19
@GnomeSlice Too much thrust AWAY from the planet.
@fbueckert I just modified it a bit, checked to make sure it still worked (all stages) and it did, so I saved it.
Now the bottom stage doesn't fire again
;cagvrbjklwevbrsgtjnvrsthbntk'br
@GnomeSlice What the hell is wrong with your computer?
@fbueckert It must be this version of the game
@GnomeSlice Just burn when you get to the outer dot (forget name) to extend your loop around the other side of the planet man.
@James Was out of fuel.
Fucking ridiculous, all I did was save it
01:32
@LessPop_MoreFizz I've learned to watch The Wire! It's just that my internet connection is making it very difficult to do so.
Evening, Bridge.

@GnomeSlice well evening to you too buddy.
@fbueckert It says 'structure fail between' two fuel tanks
maybe that's why the bottom keeps dying?
@GnomeSlice That would be my guess.
01:40
@fbueckert Doesn't say which fuel tanks, though...
and every time I adjust it I have to spend like 3 minutes rearranging my stages again...
I guess I could just adjust it until it doesn't fail and then do it
fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck
So... Does anyone know if the thing on the balcony at 8 Rue Docteur Grandjean in France was ever figured out? O_o
@GnomeSlice KSP: Shockingly accurate to real rocket science
Hm... how could the break be occurring there...
@GnomeSlice No KSP experience is complete without launching your rocket sideways at least once.
supposed to look like this:
@fbueckert Oh, no, I'm trying to figure out where the break is occuring
When it takes off now, it takes part of the bottom stage with it
01:50
@fbueckert Out of curiosity, did you give a copy to Gnome? =P
@Fluttershy Demo. :P
@fbueckert Oh. lol Okay.
Someone tell me what that is, and why Google Maps blurred it out.
Hey, cool, I made a smoke machine.
@Fluttershy Prostitute.
Smoke machine!
I'm giving up on this rocket
This was the best design I had, too, I probably could have made a stable orbit with it.

Q: Set different button layouts for different classes?

alme1304Is there a way to setup different keys for different classes? I like to be support (BAR) but a lot of times I press the right button in the middle of a fight, therefore switching to single fire. But in the assault class and sniper it is necessary to have as the right button

@Fluttershy Alternatively, someone who didn't want their photo in Google streetview.
01:55
"They can smell fear. I have a lot of fear."
@fbueckert I loaded my old overwritten rocket that wasn't working, and it's working...
@GnomeSlice I don't know what people look like where you're from... But around here, they don't look like that....
@Fluttershy Yeah, it looks pretty... weird.
But I'm pretty sure it's an edited human being.
It's probably a prostitute.
That went well.
@fbueckert I removed a bit of weight from my middle section and my broken one started working again
@GnomeSlice You have the wierdest rocket.
2
@fbueckert I think there was too much weight on a single point
and it was causing a breakage in the bottom part somewhere
02:10
@Fluttershy I can't speak to google, but we blur faces automatically.
Liscense plates too.
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's understandable... But... that really doesn't look like a person. <_<
@Fluttershy Yes it does.
Imagine the silhouette. That person had a lot of hair, it looks like.
...Not sure what happened to her right arm though
@Fluttershy it looks shaped properly to trigger facial recognition software that isn't that sophisticated
@GnomeSlice Or the oddly misshapen head, glowing eyes, and sour look on its face? <_<
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ahh.... That makes sense.
That has been to the mun (and several solar orbital patterns :D)
02:14
@James OMG THERE ARE LITTLE MUNCHKINS WALKING AROUND YOUR HANGAR
@GnomeSlice Damn Straight!
Kerbals though man.. Kerbals :)
@Fluttershy Yeah, I'd imagine it's set to err on the side of blurring too much. Among other things, less precision is probably a lot less computationally expensive.
@LessPop_MoreFizz That explains the blurring... But it does not explain what it is... That thing scares the shit out of me... Its glowing eyes are like... Soul piercing.
@Fluttershy Sunglasses. Looks a bit like glare.
@Fluttershy people keep wierd shit in front of their homes
02:17
But yeah, it is pretty shit-scaringly freaky.
@LessPop_MoreFizz ahahahahaha
I drove past a house today that had a huge waterfall set up along with a six foot statue of bullwinkle.
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...the moose?
@LessPop_MoreFizz I want your job. O_o
@GnomeSlice Yes.
Wait, are you the guy who drives the google car or something.
02:18
@Fluttershy Dead serious, company is planning to hire a bunch more people to do it sometime in the next few months.
@GnomeSlice maps.bing.com amongst many many many other maps that use data I collect.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Do you drive one of the things with the street cam, then?
@LessPop_MoreFizz You are an image capture car driver?
@GnomeSlice street cam, lidar, signage cameras, IMU, DMI, I drive with a whole shitton of recording equipment.
@James Street view imagery is one of the pieces of data I collect, yes.
Oooo
You need to drive by when we get the meet-up going :D
@LessPop_MoreFizz Do people ever make faces at the streetcam?
02:20
Unlike google we use our street view cars to collect a variety of other data and do map updates, etc.
Note: A long ass bottom section results in MUCH wobbly. It doesn't work so well.
@GnomeSlice they make faces, they dance, they throw things, they flip me off, they moon me, they wave, they smile, they hide, they shout obscenities, they chase me, they run away, you name it they do it.
@LessPop_MoreFizz You should get a jingle to play, like an ice cream truck.
Flasher? :)
@GnomeSlice funnily enough we have joked about this.
@James Others have, but not I, alas.
02:21
@LessPop_MoreFizz How come you never see those people in the images?
@LessPop_MoreFizz Slacker
Start driving some red light areas ;)
Someone drove New Orleans in Feb/March.
lol
That lucky motherfucker.
That had to be planned :)
02:22
@James Dead serious.
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...Why?
oh geez @LessPop that's why you're driving around all the time?!
SO COOL.
@Mana I thought the bridge knew this.
@fbueckert HAHA BITCH
CHALLENGE MUTILATED
02:23
@GnomeSlice Congratulations.
Sorry, I got a little excited.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I thought you were a trucker or something.
Also I just made myself laugh really hard.
@GnomeSlice YEAH, MAGNETS!!
@Mana Trucking is all just gear changing and murdering prostitutes, according to Top Gear.
02:24
Challenge #2: Achieve a circular orbit, with the apopasis and periapsis within 1 km of altitude.
@GnomeSlice oh, so LessPop is a trucker then. HA. HA. HAAAAAAAAA.
@fbueckert Wait, 1 km radius?
Uh...
That sounds impossible
@GnomeSlice Not radius.
@fbueckert from surface, I meant
You mean 1000 metres from the surface
Try to make the apopasis and periapsis have the same altitude.
02:26
OH
I thought you meant 1 km away from the surface
Within a kilometer of leeway.
...crap
@GnomeSlice That would require roughly light speed to maintain. :P
I'm outta gas.
@fbueckert Hence my confusion.
Hm
This orbit goes into the atmosphere apparently
@fbueckert DONE
@Mana ... Kind of close to home for reasons that don't belong on the bridge. :(
02:30
@GnomeSlice Heh.
Good try, but not that good.
@LessPop_MoreFizz oh, sorry. :(
@fbueckert It was intentionally shitty
@fbueckert You should make a rocket with enough stages to go to like 3 different planets all in one trip
@GnomeSlice My current goal is to build a rocket to get to Mun.
@fbueckert Do it! Do it now!
I'd race you there, but I don't have access to non-shitty parts.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'M SORRY KEITH. I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU.
02:34
@GnomeSlice Gotta start from scratch; I didn't save my old one, and now it can't do much beyond crash into the ground spectacularly.
oops caps.
@Mana it's okay maaaaaaaaaaaan.
@Mana Still waiting for you to fix it.
@GnomeSlice ??
it's not an uncomfortable topic - well, for me anyway - but it'd entirely not bridge appropriate.
02:35
@Mana YOUR CAPS
Speaking of truckers, and things which are not bridge appropriate:
yes. things which are not bridge appropriate.
@Mana FUCK YOU IT WAS A THUMBNAIL
...Seriously, why did you delete it.
@GnomeSlice because you said it wasn't Bridge-appropriate!
I mean. you said it. Right in the message. this should not be on The Bridge.
It was a thumbnail link to a youtube video
@GnomeSlice that is inappropriate. No?
02:40
Sure, but that's not the point.
Now my joke is ruined.
...
@fbueckert Give me a different challenge.
@GnomeSlice You have challenge 2.
You need to understand how to do that before we can move you onto harder things.
@fbueckert but you said it requires watching videos to explain orbital mechanics. I can't do videos.
I'm just gonna wing it.
@GnomeSlice Oh geez. You're going to have fun.
If you can't watch videos, why are you linking to youtube stuff?
02:44
@fbueckert Because YOU guys can watch videos.
wtf I looked away for two seconds just after liftoff to chat here
@fbueckert how high would you recommend I do this.
Also, I have a basic understanding of orbital mechanics, just nothing complicated.
@GnomeSlice At least 100 km.
i.e. decrease altitude, speed up, increase, slow down.
...or maybe it's the other way round
Yep, I fucked it up
My lander is pretty legit.
...Dammit. Almost achieved escape velocity.
And that's how my capsule lands!
Handy!
@fbueckert @Mana
@GnomeSlice Don't you have lander struts?
02:59
@fbueckert ...Nope. Are those a special part?
@GnomeSlice Not really; they might not be .13, though.
My top stage just plows into the ground bottom first and everything below the capsule is destroyed.
I have STRUTS...
strut connectors
The things you're looking for should under Utility & Scientific.
@fbueckert All I have under that tab is the parachute
I think I'm going to buy this though, once my paypal gets some monies
@GnomeSlice Worth it?
03:03
WTF THE MK 1 POD IS REMOVED IN THE NEW VERSIONS
Hmm. Five engines is enough to barely lift all this fuel up.
@fbueckert Let it burn for a bit
will get lighter
@GnomeSlice Sorta defeats the purpose of extra fuel
@fbueckert Extra rockets!
I don't have anything above a three-stage rocket right now.
I mean it has four or five, but one of them is just separation for the top, and one is just the parachute
@fbueckert BAH LETS SEE YOU DO IT
@GnomeSlice 100km stable orbit?
03:08
Also, lol at their buy button.
@fbueckert Yes.
@GnomeSlice Already done
@GnomeSlice This reminds me of Psychonauts.
DO IT AGAIN
@GnomeSlice Working on it
(fuck it up, fuck it up, please fuck it up)
y they remove it
03:14
I would like to point out that I already HAVE something in an orbit at 100km. It's going the opposite direction.
@fbueckert pics or it didn't happen
I've got three at roughly the same altitude RIGHT NOW. I'll see if they get close enough for visual confirmation.
@fbueckert If they're at the same altitude why would they approach one another.
Also, you can have more than one thing in space in later versions?
03:19
@GnomeSlice Yup
I've got several things flying around right now.
@fbueckert Can you control them all?
@GnomeSlice Only one at a time, but yes.
I put them up there, after all.
Would you believe they're still alive?
Within 300 meters. Challenge met, and succeeded.
Plus, they're ALL on the same elliptical, too.
For shits and giggles, I'm going to leave the two at 100km alone.
There should be a kilometer between the two when passing.
They're not too happy about it, but they're alive.
03:24
@Mana HOLY SHIT THE DISMEMBERMENT PLAN MIGHT RECORD A NEW ALBUM

Q: How to "un-optimize" my computer to run older games? (specifically Portal vs Portal 2)

JoshI just got a brand new Sager NP9170 laptop, with Ivy Bridge processor and Radeon 7970m graphics.

@fbueckert can you make shuttles in that version?
@GnomeSlice You mean as in things to launch from the base ship? Nope.
@fbueckert As in, things with wings that can glide on re-entry.
@GnomeSlice You have a runway to build planes with, yes.
