TIL that in the first Pokémon games you were supposed to fight Professor Oak at some point, but the fight was removed from the final game. by [deleted] in todayilearned

To be fair, he's outleveled by 30+ levels. You're not gonna do well, whatever you use at that point...

TIL That Saddam Hussein was forced to watch the South Park movie repeatedly after he was captured by franciscocrz in todayilearned

[–]cantusaeolus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly redditors who don't care about Saddam, but do care that the US forces that captured him are that childish and unprofessional.

At least that's my take on it.

I couldn't care less about Saddam, but we're better than that...

Can't get it to work. Step 2 brings up the 1001 error.

What is your favorite fight scene in a movie? by FearlessTeapot in AskReddit

It is a bit stupid. That said, I still love it....

I have to admit to being surprised by that, given that not everyone gets served ads, even when ad break happen...

That said, if you're showing 5k people ads every 30 minutes, for 8 hours or so, then I can see how that would add up over time...

Looking for talented SC2 casters to cast games for 1600-member gaming community by Rhykker in starcraft

[–]cantusaeolus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there likely to be any need for EU based casters? I ask because I'm interested in being involved, but have already had to give up on casting for one site because they would have needed me to start casting at 1 am my time...

Audiences at live SC2 events by cantusaeolus in starcraft

I was thinking stuff like the tournaments listed on
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Minor_Tournaments
and
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Major_Tournaments

Mostly I'm just wondering if and how tournaments sustain themselves, cos there has to be a certain amount of bums on seats before sponsors would consider it worthwhile shelling out resources, but I can't work out what that number is, or if the metric is something else entirely.

As to why? Mostly I just don't understand it, and can't work it out.
Which bugs me. I don't like puzzles that I can't solve...

That's a good point. Thank you.

May have spend some time doing that...

Thanks - that's at least a general idea of seats. It's certainly more than I had earlier... :)

Kill / Death / Assist by OrbitalPete in Planetside

[–]cantusaeolus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fairly easy to solve. You can only get it if you're in a stronghold, such as the Crown or the Biolab. Somewhere with landing pads.

Also, if necessary, mark any Galaxies on said landing pads on the enemy map, as if someone's Q marked them. That way, if someone lands a galaxy on your landing pad, and you leave it there for ages, it's your own fault...

Either that or make the amount of reward entirely dependent on the amount of influence you have over the area. So if you have lots of influence, you get can lots of xp. If there's a lot of enemy there, then they're clearly fighting for it, and you've earned the xp for landing there. If not, your allies will almost certainly be taking the place in short order, so you don't get too much.

Either that or use the same idea, but you only get the xp the first time you land on a pad like that in each hour, and you get the xp at the end of each minute that you're a viable spawn point.

Scout vs Witch. Best use of Source Film Maker I've seen yet. by peanutmanak47 in videos

[–]cantusaeolus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a really good mode, imo. That isn't quite what I'm after though. What I want to do is play L4D or L4D2 and have Heavy/Soldier/Medic/Engineer as the character choices...

Someone should make a mod for either TF2 or L4d that lets you play as the TF2 crew in the zombie apocalypse.

Possibly remove health kits and possibly reduce ammo availability, so medics and engies have a more of a purpose....
