Off Topic / How hipster are you to common things?

« on: April 23, 2014, 11:23:32 PM »

With everything mainstream, there's always a hipster who hasn't heard of it or refuses to be a part of it. This is a thread for talking about really common things that you've never done before or learned how to do. For example, I've never been to a dentist and I've never learned how to ride a bike. That's all there really is to the thread. /Discuss

Help / Microsoft eHome Infared Transceiver Problem

« on: April 06, 2014, 05:34:47 PM »

A while ago I made a help topic saying my Apostrophe key didn't work, to which I was directed to the FAQ page and felt like an idiot. As much as uninstalling the driver worked, I'm having a new problem.

The driver automatically reinstalls itself.

Is there any way to prevent this? Having to uninstall a driver every time I start up Blockland gets really irritating really fast. /discuss

Help / Steam stuck as in-game Blockland

« on: March 28, 2014, 06:52:24 PM »

Before stating what my problem is, I should first explain what happens typically. When you start a Steam game, not only is the game started, but the Steam overlay is also started. The overlay is the thing that appears when you Shift + Tab. When the game is shut down, both the game and the overlay are killed.

Sometimes when the game is shut down, your Steam profile still says you're in game. This is caused because either the game or the overlay failed to shut down and is still running in the background. This can be a problem because it prevents you from starting any other games, including the game it says you're still playing. Fortuantely, this can be easily fixed by ending the process of whatever got stuck.

This is my issue:
Blockland has been doing this lately, and I can't do anything because both the game and the overlay are shut down properly. I searched high and low through my task manager and can't find a single goddamn process that could cause the issue.

So, my first question is:
Are there any other processes that start when running Blockland? If not, are there any Steam processes I'm not aware of? If not, are there any other possible reasons for this happening? Steam games getting stuck as in-game is irritating in so many different ways that there has to be a solution other than restarting Steam. I hate doing that. /discuss

Help / Apostrophe key doesn't work.

« on: March 27, 2014, 11:49:40 AM »

This is a minor issue that doesn't break the game but is still irritating. For whatever reason, I can't type an apostrophe or quotation mark in any text fields in the game. I can't post my console.log right now due to not being on my actual computer, but I'll post it later. I'll also report back if I find any other keys that don't work. Anyone have any ideas?

Off Topic / Is there anyone on the forums who lives in the same state/city as you?

« on: March 22, 2014, 09:54:51 PM »

I was wondering how close together everyone is to each other. I know for a fact that Nonnel and Bisjac live in the Twin Cities here in Minnesota, and The Brighter Dark lives in Minnetonka. /discuss

EDIT: Is this thread still going? I didn't expect it to go 12 pages.

Games / Star Citizen - Anyone know who this is?

« on: March 21, 2014, 04:35:00 PM »

I was just checking my email and got a notification from Roberts Space Industries that I was invited to an organization in Star Citizen called Endless Odyssey. I looked at the invite, declined it for unrelated reasons, and decided to look more at the organization out of curiosity. Looking at the members, I noticed that one of them had a Blockland avatar. The user was Speedlink. I looked at the other members, and saw the name "Maverick2419" as well. I've heard that name in Blockland before, so I decided to ask this question: Does anyone know who these people are and how they found me on Star Citizen. I've asked Bisjac, Nonnel, and (scorpion) about this already and they have no idea. I've also looked up the two names on both the forums and Google, and came up with nothing. /Discuss

Off Topic / Don't trust chairs

« on: March 09, 2014, 11:15:51 PM »

This is something I realized a while ago and haven't really shared it on the internet. I guess the forums is a good place to say this: Chairs are one of the most untrustworthy inanimate objects of all time.

To start, how many times have you been hurt by a chair? I've hit my nose once on a coffee table, and that was because I fell off the chair I was standing on. I've also been pinched, scraped, and received splinters from chairs. Second, chairs work for the government. I know it sounds like I'm bullstuffting you, but think about it! How do you think the NSA gets all of their information? Hidden cameras? IP address tracking? Sam Fisher? Nope, the chair your sitting in is recording everything you say and sending it directly to the nearest undercover FBI agent. That's why it's good courtesy to push your chair in when you're not using it. It muffles the sounds they can hear. Third, have you ever heard a chair tell the truth? Exactly. Chairs are constantly lying to you about everything. Sure, people make the argument that they've never heard a chair talk. To which I respond, ever seen "The Thing?" Ever noticed how the person who actually is the thing never talks?

Yeah, I just blew your mind.

TL;DR go back and read it.

Off Topic / How did it take three years for me to notice this?

« on: February 22, 2014, 09:57:14 PM »

Occasionally I like to search any BL usernames and/or my forum username just to see if I've been mentioned in anything. I just did this and found a drama of me when I was 11, just a few months before I was diagnosed with Aspergers.

Wow, I was a twat. Glad I turned an internet acceptable age before making any other stuff posts.

Anyway, feel free to share any other times you've been drama'd without it having any effect or without you noticing.

This is a shortened video version of my old post on why ChromeCast is useless. I plan on doing another video on why editing software isn't expensive in the future.

Off Topic / That urge to make a thread that you know you'll regret making

« on: January 27, 2014, 09:49:01 PM »

I'm probably not the only one who's ran into this before. That feeling where you really want to start a new thread but you know that it'll be bashed with hatred and/or will probably get you banned. I just ran into that a couple seconds ago, which is why I made this thread. I want to know if anyone else ran into this and what topic(s) they had that urge to make. For me, it would either be a rebirth of my dumbass blocklanders thread I made a while back, or a post asking how many times people were Drama'd. So what have you pulled away from becoming a thread? I'd like to know.

EDIT: I've also had ideas of a good thread, but didn't know what part of the forum I would put it in.

Suggestions & Requests / Grapple rope without the rope

« on: January 26, 2014, 07:22:52 PM »

This shouldn't be that hard to do, but is it possible to remove the rope part of the Grapple Rope? It triggers OnProjectileHit events and I don't want it to do that.

I'm currently trying to make my own Color Set, but I can't get the transparent bricks to work. The game acknowledges that they're there, but when I'm actually playing in game, they're not an option. Can anyone help me?

Games / What's your 2013 game of the year?

« on: December 31, 2013, 11:15:28 PM »

It's roughly 45 minutes away from being a new year, so what game would you say is the best of this year? My top 5 4 are Cards Against Humanity*, Surgeon Simulator 2013, Papers Please, Metro Last Light, and Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3. What are yours?

*I didn't specifically say video games, so this counts. It totally doesn't.

EDIT: I give an honorable mention to Payday 2 which I disqualified for godawful AI and in general being unfinished.
EDIT2: Seeing a lot of Hotline Miamis despite being released in 2012.
EDIT3: forget. Cards Against Humanity was released in 2011.
