@ArdaXi Which, if Ubicrap wants to go legal about it, would be a very bad PR move.
And highlight just how broken the Copyright system is.
 
@fbueckert Obviously. I'm just saying, this Sanders guy has very little ground to stand on.
 
Post removed
That is my final call
 
@badp I'm going to call mod abuse on this. What is your justification?
 
@ArdaXi "I'm the mod and I say so."
 
And, while you're at it, please delete the dozens of answers on this site that take on a similar form.
 
9:03 PM
@ArdaXi When we said "don't post just a link" we also add "add an excerpt in your own writing"
and not "copy paste the whole thing"
 
@badp Then, like I said
49 secs ago, by Arda Xi
And, while you're at it, please delete the dozens of answers on this site that take on a similar form.
 
Flag them please
 
I can't. I only have 42 inform moderator flags.
 
Well do the first 42
 
I might need them.
Oh well. This is why I don't contribute to the site.
 
9:07 PM
You don't contribute to the site because lifting what others write on the internet in your answers wholesale and then having the author come to our site and write an answer in reply is something I feel like acting on?
 
@badp No, because the mods moderate the site according to their own whims and not as actors of the community.
 
@ArdaXi I do what I think is the best for the community. Ignoring basic copyright law is not the best for the community.
 
It's something that has happened many times before, and apparently, it hasn't stopped.
@badp Then why did you ignore basic copyright law?
 
Because as we've argued many times there's a difference between legal and moral and while he didn't quite post the right DMCA template at the right place, he was in the right and Warface was in the wrong
 
@badp According to you, he was in the right.
According to the law, he wasn't, and there's no reason to believe the community thinks he was.
 
9:11 PM
@ArdaXi Feel free to raise the matter on Meta if Warface doesn't
 
@badp That would be contributing to the site.
 
Your lack of care for the argument is noted.
 
SE is pretty clear on that, the community decides on the plagiarism rules and can enforce them, copyright is not handled by mods but by DMCA notices.
 
@badp Oh, I care about the argument for the argument's sake. I don't care about the site. Not anymore, anyway.
 
9:14 PM
What I know is, I got four flags from community members telling me to delete the post and a non-contributing "community member" telling me not to
 
@MadScientist Thank you.
 
So I "enforced the will of the community" by deleting the post.
 
I'm not agreeing with you
 
@MadScientist I am aware. You are making the point I was trying to make.
I am aware that what you said does not mean @badp did anything wrong.
 
Congratulations, your petty point about plagiarism vs copyright has been won.
 
9:15 PM
I tend to delete whole plagiarized posts myself
 
@badp It's not about plagiarism vs copyright.
 
Whatever, people. The situation got handled.
If you don't like it, @ArdaXi, make a meta, because this is not helping.
 
@fbueckert I tried. Then I left the site. Now I just came back for the Bridge, really.
 
@ArdaXi That's awesome.
But don't be complaining how things get handled if you don't want to contribute.
 
@fbueckert Not really. I'm really just stating it.
 
user15026
9:17 PM
@ArdaXi If you don't like the way it got handled, you know what the options are. If you don't want to take them, arguing in here about a site you don't care about is a waste of everyone's time, no?
 
@fbueckert I was once the most active member on this site. I think I have earnt that right, even if you don't.
@AshleyNunn I'm not saying it isn't.
 
@ArdaXi You left.
You said so yourself.
 
user15026
@ArdaXi Wait, what? Seriously? You think you have some sort of right for that?
 
You give up whatever rights you had at that point.
 
@fbueckert That doesn't change that fact.
@fbueckert I do not agree.
@AshleyNunn ...yes?

Q: What is "Katamari Drive" mode?

SeanThe Mode Shop has unlockable "Eternal" and "Katamari Drive" modes for the every level. I know that Eternal mode means the time limit is removed, but what is Katamari Drive mode? From what I read online, speed is increased, but by how much? What happens to "dash"? Is the time limit affected? How d...

 
This room was placed in timeout for 1 minute; the topic of this room is "General Chat Room for Arqade.com. The main quarters of Arqade's SEI AskQuestion Mothership, wherein we aim our LAZERS at arqade cabinets, fancy new spaceship logos and the eyes of people who would like to deny others the joys of pancakes." - conversation should be limited to that topic.
Before you ask: the ability to go around the room timeout is one reason as good as any to revoke room ownership given that you are the cause of the timeout in the first place.
 
Thank you, @badp, for proving my point. You won't be seeing me again.
 
Bye.
I'll contact you again when we have a fucking rule book on how and when to give and retract italics.
 
@badp What the hell is wrong with you.
Why are you being such a douchebag to Arda, because he disagrees with you?
 
9:22 PM
@GnomeSlice Dude...for now, just drop it. It's not worth it.
 
user15026
@fbueckert This.
 
@GnomeSlice Arda has been disrupting chat. Chat is meant to be a place for site contributors to be active in (see: 20 reputation requirement.) Arda is, by his own admission, not a contributor: a welcome guest, sure, but not a contributor. When people disrupt a place, it's my role to end the disruption. I'm sorry you don't agree on how I'm doing it; I hope you can see why I'm doing it. Perhaps in 30 minutes.
If you'd like to discuss this further, click here.
And now, kittens.
 
user15026
@badp Aww, the kittne stole the fish!
 
My favourite bit is where he asks the gnome for help.
 
@badp Ha, the first cat tried to get the fish for a longer time, and yet the smaller cat got it! That's humorous!
 
user15026
9:31 PM
@RonanForman Haha that part made me laugh. Like OMG COME ON YOU HAVE A FISHING POLE USE IT
 
@Ullallulloo It was the first thing in my sub box on Youtube ._.
 
user15026
....I just might really, really love Simon's Cat videos.
 
besides, Simon's Cat is supposed to be more "dawww" than "lolz"
 
@badp And I liked it. :P
That wasn't sarcastic, just over-explained.
 
user15026
@Ullallulloo Haha me and you said the same thing about it, Ithink ;)
 
9:32 PM
@badp Yeah, but @AshleyNunn stole that response.
 
What's a kittne anyway?
 
user15026
@RonanForman ....a malformed baby cat? XD
 
@AshleyNunn That sounds sad. :(
 
user15026
@Ullallulloo It does. :(
 
user15026
But it was the best excuse for my typing like a hamhanded crazy bean that I could think of quickly
 
9:39 PM
@Ullallulloo That's the part where we go "dawwww."
 
@AshleyNunn Me too!
 
user15026
@SaintWacko They make me silly-happy
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, and they're so true!
 
user15026
@SaintWacko Yeah, so many remind me of my cat or my mom's 4 cats
 
Whoa, either there are a bunch of new ones, or there are a lot more on the youtube channel than on the site
 
user15026
9:45 PM
@SaintWacko It seems like there are a bunch new
 
user15026
 
user15026
that is my current favourite
 
user15026
@SaintWacko Hey, the frog was pretty good. Also, the ending made me laugh like mad.
 
@SaintWacko 'DAT END
 
9:50 PM
@AshleyNunn Yeah, I would never have though about the screen actually responding to the frog
@RonanForman That killed me. You hear him start swearing at it, then it ends :D
 
You wouldn't expect such a gelatinous... almost shapeless thing to do things such as bite...
 
user15026
@RonanForman The end completely killed me.
 
3. When the customer doesn't state immediately what he does wants to order, stare harder.
 
ಠ_ಠ
Really, you're going to suspend me for that?
 
9:54 PM
@GnomeSlice it seems like you haven't cooled down yet
 
@badp Because I'm upset about my suspension? As if.
I think the problem is mostly with Arda anyway, he's completely unwilling to try to get along with anyone.
I've been chewing him out on facebook and he doesn't give a shit.
 
Arda's wired differently from most people and at the end of the day I don't pretend I can really understand what's going on in his head.
much less judge it.
 
@GnomeSlice Really? That seems like a great idea!
 
@RonanForman What?
@badp IT WORKS FOR ME
I understand him more than probably most of you do, he's a lot like me in many ways.
Which also means I can't change his mind.
So whatever, his problem I guess.
 
@badp Don't forget the malicious grin!
 
9:59 PM
@InvaderSkoodge That first one is so annoying.
 
ARGH, YOU GUYS
 
@GnomeSlice You seem upset. Maybe you should eat a cookie.
 
WVSKYUGVRLWIBVBVLRLJVRHBVRQBJOVRQBIULV
 
So The Walking Dead won Spike TV's game of the year award (however much that means). I heard it's barely even a game, though, more like interactive fiction.
What's the whole deal with that thing.
 
@InvaderSkoodge It's a point and click and adventure, without puzzles.
 
10:02 PM
@Wipqozn I don't really get how that works.
 
To be honest I'm happy it won. Maybe it will result in more point and click adventure games. I like that genre, even if I haven't played that many games from it.
@InvaderSkoodge I don't know. I have no intention of playing it.
That reminds me, I need to play MYst are some point.
 
@Wipqozn I want super complicated city building games.
Point and click, especially without puzzles is....meh.
 
@fbueckert I never said I liked it.
Sounds like a stupid idea.
 
@fbueckert Sim City 4 looks really promising if you can find a way to play it without Origin...
 
@InvaderSkoodge If I want to play that, I may have to.
 
10:04 PM
I'm just saying it winning spikes goty could revive the genre.
 
@InvaderSkoodge Extremely good story and cinematics.
 
Because that piece of spyware's never getting installed on any of my hardware.
 
@fbueckert Yep.
Spike TV also gave away a "Game of the Decade" award, to Half-Life 2.
 
Also, apparently Dark Souls 2 is a thing.
 
user15026
This show is making me want grape soda.
 
10:08 PM
@AshleyNunn Grape soda is always the right drink.
 
@AshleyNunn Morgan's favorite drink!
 
user15026
@fbueckert Which is what made me want it.
 
@AshleyNunn It's scary that I still remember that.
I haven't seen that show in a while.
 
user15026
@fbueckert You remember all sorts of things!
 
@InvaderSkoodge Wait, is that on tonight? Any good trailers?
 
user15026
10:10 PM
Although, I have no ice cubes, so I wouldn't be able to enjoy it properly
 
@MBraedley It was on last night. There was a trailer for a new Halo 4 DLC.
I only caught the end of it.
 
@InvaderSkoodge Oh, yay. More Halo.
 
I'm sure they'll replay it at least 50 times in the next week, though.
 
@fbueckert I've heard it's actually quite good, despite not being made by Bungie.
 
@GnomeSlice I think my point flew right over your head.
 
10:11 PM
@fbueckert Oh, you're a hipster. Got it!
 
@GnomeSlice Strike two!
 
'I'm not one of those fags who plays halo.'
Because if you think the games in the halo series are bad games, you probably haven't played any of them.
 
@GnomeSlice Played the original and two.
They're ho-hum, lackluster FPSs.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice ??
 
The only reason it got to be as huge as it is was because it was the only multiplayer FPS for XBox.
 
10:13 PM
I've only played Halo 3 and Reach, and they both had some of the best multiplayer you can get on a console.
@fbueckert I dunno, it's got a great storyline, memorable characters, solid gameplay and physics, and amazing multiplayer..
 
@GnomeSlice NOW, it might be amazing multiplayer.
I wouldn't know, because I don't own a Microsoft console.
But I relegate it into the same bin as Call of Duty.
It's no longer about the game. It's about the money.
 
@fbueckert Halo 3 is one of the funnest games to play with people that I've played. You can even build your own levels and game modes. You can customize it almost any way you want.
@fbueckert Eh, I was never a fan of CoD. But the gameplay is supposedly very compelling, and the small amount I have played with a friend was fun.
 
@GnomeSlice Comparing it to PC multiplayer is unfair, but that's my basis for FPS multiplayer.
 
@GnomeSlice How is AirBuccanners??
 
@James I don't know, I've only tried it once, and that was while it was in development.
 
10:16 PM
ah.. Drat
 
And I had to go almost right away, so I didn't get much farther than the menu
@James I'll check it outsoonish and let you know
 
@GnomeSlice Appreciated I keep going back and forth on getting it or not, hehe
 
@fbueckert Exactly. They're not bad. They're medicore. Nothing special about them.
 
@Wipqozn Which is why I don't understand the whole, "OMG! New HALO!" craze.
 
@Wipqozn They are some of the best story based FPS games out there IMHO
 
10:18 PM
@fbueckert It's the same as the COD craze. MArketing.
 
@fbueckert You either dig the story or ya dont.. Otherwise every other FPS out there is just the same as that one.
 
@James If it was a unique story, I might like it.
 
@fbueckert Because the last ones have all been very good games. I wasn't really interested in the new one because it's not made by Bungie (they've had enough but microsoft wants more halo).
@fbueckert Do you know the story?
It's pretty good SCi-Fi
 
@fbueckert You mean the lone soldier going along and trying to save humanity?
 
@GnomeSlice The Flood is aliens that endanger the whole galaxy.
Been there, done that.
 
10:19 PM
Hmm, remove soldier and then you have pretty much every game that ever existed
 
Why does every single game where you have to follow an NPC make the NPC move at a different speed than you? If I run, I pass him. If I walk, he gets too far away from me. I have to alternate running and walking like a jackass.
 
@InvaderSkoodge BEcause Game developers hate us.
 
@fbueckert You know there's not really such thing as a 'new' story any more, right? And besides, the flood aren't the main enemies.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice ....oh, not that old argument
 
@InvaderSkoodge It's so you can catch up to them if you get a little ways behind.
 
10:20 PM
@GnomeSlice A Song of Ice and Fire says hi.
 
user15026
by that arguement we should stop playing games and reading books
 
@InvaderSkoodge Because the games have to assume that something is going to happen while you are playing
 
@Wipqozn ...What?
@AshleyNunn No... I didn't say modern stories aren't worth experiencing...
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah but on Gnome's side here that is pretty much what @fbueckert said. Just because there are other similar stories out there does not make the HALO one bad.
 
user15026
@James oh, I have no idea about HALO. I have enver played it what so ever.
 
10:21 PM
@James There are ways to make it so that it's interesting.
Halo didn't do it.
 
user15026
I just hate that "there are no new stories" arguement in general
 
All I know is OMFG HALO REGENERATING HEALTH WOAIRHWPIOEHJWPOU
 
It's a pure, by-the-numbers story.
 
(okay, regenerating shields)
 
@AshleyNunn It's actually pretty good Sci-Fi, better than a lot of games out there.
 
user15026
10:22 PM
@GnomeSlice Cant play FPS's
 
@fbueckert It was pretty much first man.. Unless you want to get into Starcraft's Zerg the only other game I think with the all consuming swarm is masseffect 3.. which came out 6 years after halo 1
 
Besides, I'm playing the hell of Borderlands and the game would be impossible without regenerating everything
 
@AshleyNunn ...Okay?

Q: What are the best thigns to craft in The Witcher 2?

KirkI've stored up a ton of crafting items and I have bought all of the diagrams. What is worth making?

 
@AshleyNunn I wasn't asking you to play it
 
user15026
10:23 PM
@GnomeSlice I can't.
 
@badp That's one thing I really give to the HAlo series. It actually has two "health" bars. Health, which is smal and dosn't regen; and shields, which is large and does. It makes more sense than in a lot of other games where you magically heal bullet wounds to the head.
 
@AshleyNunn motion sickness?
 
user15026
I never said you were. I am just explaining why I can't do it.
 
@Wipqozn Health used to regenerate.
 
user15026
@James Struggle with the precision needed for controls. Same goes for all FPS's - I have incredibl;y bad hand-eye and fine motor control
 
user15026
10:23 PM
which is part of thje reason I stick to "simpler" games
 
@Wipqozn That's nothing. I have two hands, one weapon in each and reload them at the same time with magic. Then I fire with both and they set people on fire.
<3
 
@James For video games, maybe.
 
@badp You can do that in Halo.
 
For decent stories, pretty sure it was nowhere near the first.
 
@AshleyNunn Most of em now a days give assisted auto aiming, might be worth giving it a try cause some of them have fairly good stories to go along with them :)
 
10:24 PM
@GnomeSlice Halo has dual wielding? Nice.
 
@badp only certain guns, but yeah.
 
TIIIIME TO COMPENSAAAAAATE
 
@badp Actually... the newer ones might not.
Which is very disappointing. Halo 3 does.
 
user15026
@James I tried ME1, and a few others - I die pretty much constantly - anything that requires a stick to look, and stick to move, and then I gotta aim and shoot - too much going on XD
 
10:25 PM
I think Reach removed it.
 
@AshleyNunn I've been wondering how much that's just training.
 
@GnomeSlice Halo 4 still has the weapons that do it
 
Well I think that most FPS let you dual wield pistols
 
@badp Not just pistols.
 
@AshleyNunn Oooh, haha I thought ya meant on PC :)
 
10:25 PM
There's a bunch of weapons you can dual. There's these little shotgun things, these laser things, plasma pistols
@badp It also has a sword and a hammer.
 
@AshleyNunn It took me HOURS of Call of Duty 2 (which is also a good game) to get used to two thumbstick FPS controls on a console.
 
@GnomeSlice Needlers are the best, but I don't know if you can dual wield those.
 
This is still probably the funnest game I've ever played.
 
user15026
@Ullallulloo I have no idea. It's something I have tried to improve for just about forever. I know part of it is related to the brain-death bits that I have from birth, but I know I have compensated for a lot, but There is only so much I am willing to do for a genre I am not a huge fan of in the first placve
 
10:26 PM
@Ullallulloo Not since halo 2, because it was really really unfair
 
@Ullallulloo I hate needlers....
 
@James Depends on which end of them you are I guess.
 
you get shot by them, not take tha tmuch damage, and then suddenly explode and go "Damnit! Needlers!"
 
hey Gnome
I wanted to thank you
for gifting me Cogs
 
@GnomeSlice What. That looks awesome

I DONT KNOW BADP IS SUCH AN EVIL MAN
LOOK HES SO EVIL
he stole all my green guns from me
i have only white guns now :(
Well apparently, it wasn't a phishing scam
 
That sounds like something @badp would do.
 
Borderlands won a lot of vga awards
gave out golden key odes

That @badp is quite the shifty character.

I tell you, this shady character is up to something
 
and then he was like, "lol no I don't care about golden keys, I have so many legendaries"
 
dat...
is true
:(
 
10:39 PM
and like the gentleman I am I didn't point out how exceptionally salting of my wounds this was, given that my level 47 character hasn't yet found one legendary.
2
 
On the plus side, I found my first legendary at level 1
 
THAT IS NOT THE PLUS SIDE
 
I thought it was supposed to be scripted or something
 
HOW CAN THAT BE THE PLUS SIDE
 
Because I got it, and you didn't!
That's a plus for me!
 
10:40 PM

Here, want some of my legendaries?
 
No, thank you. I don't want any of your FILTHY legendaries!!
(no really it's cool)
 
Oh, I see how it is. I guess we'l have to fight. TO THE DEATH!
(not really)
 
I'll go attend to my kitten who has been pawing me for a while. She requires foodsies.
 
go feed her legendaries
she'll love it. I guarantee it
oh wait, you'll have to settle for purple or blue instead
HOW PITIFUL BADP
 
10:45 PM
I have like three purples around
 
@badp Give that kitten some purples. Kittens love purples
 
Maliwans. MALIWANS EVERYWHERE.
 
I found a legendary pretty early, too
Boom-Bewm dropped a legendary grenade
 
@SaintWacko Won't a legendary that early kind of suck later on?
 
@badp It actually was really good until around level 20
I finally replaced it and I'm still not 100% convinced the new one is better
 
10:49 PM
At least I kind of have something to make up for it
 
Also, I'm going to have to buy Vanquish now, that looks awesome
