Q: Differences between the Gamecube and the Wii version of Twilight Princess

alexanderpasWhat are the differences between the Gamecube and the Wii version of Twilight Princess? Are they just the same game, only with another control scheme (Controller for Gamecube, Wiimote for Wii), or are there any significant differences?

Q: Taking a bath in Adventure mode

MikeyBHow do I clean my dwarf and his items in Adventure mode? Currently I've killed a number of things and am covered in blood, leaving a trail of it behind me wherever I walk. I doubt it'll impress the Queen much if I wander into her hall, leaving a red carpet behind me.

Q: What does it mean when a ghost has appeared in a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2?

JoshSometimes after getting a star in Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Nintendo Wii, often after playing as Luigi, I will get a message similar to: A ghost has appeared in the some galaxy name galaxy! What does this mean?

 
@ArdaXi I added the point, because multiple users were suggesting VEntrilo, while it was already there
 
@Arda I've got it worse than you

oh and @ArdaXi, the second answer probably mentions any viable application

Awesome.
 
if we remove the mods from that (sorry @Grace) we have 12 users above 2k, 6 users above 3k, 4 users above 4k, 1 user above 7k.
 
4:24 PM
Why don't mods count?
 
because you have edit powers & mod tools no matter what, and don't vote, just hammer.
 
Because you have mod tools anyway :P
 
I like to think the number is still nice
 
Oldest age or oldest ID?
 
4:28 PM
ID
the oldest user with above 3k is:
 
Almost all of us with 2 digit IDs registered at roughly the same period of time
 
I know, i'm user 29
 
@alexanderpas Are you bored or something? :P
 
no, i'm just playing with stats ;)
 
I thought I'd registered pretty early, yet I got 109 :(
There was one online game, I joined a new server as it was launching, and got ID 100 :)

Hey guys, game-rec: A RPG with character levelling and multiplayer co-op that is not a MMO?
Basically, Oblivion with co-op.
 
LAN play or same system?
 
Either, LAN preferable.
 
Mmkay
Well, apparently, Etrian Odyssey 3 will have some level of co-op play available.
 
To what extent, I don't know, but I look forward to it
 
4:52 PM
@alexanderpas Not possible with the engine, I believe. Just used that as an example of what type of game I meant.
 
Diablo II is too MMO, I imagine, even if just done as a LAN game

Q: The Dig: Yippee-ki-yay Achievement

ElpezmuertoI am stuck trying to get the Yippee-ki-yay Achievement in the the artifact mission, The Dig. The criteria is to destroy 50 Protoss structures on Hard difficulty.

 
The latter Star Ocean games scream for multiplayer support but sadly lack it
@Gaming Don't we already have a Yippee-ki-yay question? Or are they very different?
 
@GraceNote Might look into Diablo then. The problem with MMOs are needing to be online, and needing subscription fees for most of them.
@GraceNote It's a terrible question anyway. He doesn't mention which part is making it hard.
 
Ah, well, Diablo II would be a good fit. You don't need to be online if you have LAN play
 
4:55 PM
That preview is the whole question.
 
My brother and I resurrected our interest in it the other day. We had a lot of fun just playing ourselves.
 
Steam doesn't have it. Damn :(
 
blizzard is not on steam.
 
Why?
(Other than "It wouldn't make sense for WoW")
 
because they have battle.net
and why wouldn't it make sense for WoW? EVE is on steam, CoH is on steam.
 
5:03 PM
They get a month's code, and you have to keep paying.
I didn't think it made sense for EVE either.
 
it would be even better if you can buy timecards in he steam store.
 
I've never played this game but this made me laugh "First off, no matter the corpse, never eat unless you just made that corpse or you have a method of preservation (tinning, icebox). Rotten corpses cause food poisoning, and it doesn't take very long for a corpse to rot."
 
it doesn't make sense for Blizzard because they make a shipload of money of hosting it themselves
and they need tight control over the way it's handled with more than 10 million players
 
5:19 PM
If they handle steam just like any other (retail) store, and only put the public client (which you also can use to get the 14 day trial) on steam, they still have all the control they want.
 
5:34 PM
they also let Valve know just how many people us it
and how they use it
not the info I would want to share if I were Blizzard
 
Vivendi and Valve also had a bit of a spat over half-life 2 if I recall correctly
 
was Vivendi publishing HL2?
 
and vivendi owns activision blizzard which owns blizzard
 
yeah that pretty much explains it
though I'd say Blizzard is an exception that doens't need Steam
whereas companies like EA or Ubisoft haven't really shown to know how to handle these things
 
I'd agree with that
I haven't used steam for 4 or 5 years now
I have been told it is no longer as awful
 
5:46 PM
the only thing UBI has done is show the world how NOT to do it.
Steam is (nearly) perfect
 
Steam is. Except when publishers stick extra DRM on, on top of Steam's own.
 
Double DRM is just plain silly.
 
I used Steam around the release of HL2, and that is my only experience with it
it was awful.
 
well it kept it up to date and I got some other Valve games, but other than that I never used it
 
@en1gmatic325 they had some startup problems, but those are non-existing now.
 
5:50 PM
WoW and Guitar Hero kept my attention ;)
yeah, but it was a kind of shame for the early adapters @alexanderpas, so I understand why @en1gmatic325 didn't feel like giving it a second chance
 
The last time Steam failed on me was when they released the free trial of UT3: Black edition, just as I decided to activate my CD key on Steam.
 
I have UT3...got it as a gift but never opened it
 
there are at this moment, 2.5 million steam users online.
 
the changes they claimed to be making in UT3 from UT2004 were basically removing what I liked about the game
less twichy movement, they removed bombing run (which was almost exclusively the mode I played)
 
UT3 is a resource hog compared to previous installments.
 
5:54 PM
I never played earlier ones. I got it as a gift from my uncle
 
wall dodge-jumping over people's heads was always fun
mostly though I stick to RTS's
 
RTS is one of my less favorite genres.
if you make a small mistake at the start, you have practically lost already.
 
:-o blasphemy!
and the level of mistake acceptable varies by the game/level of play...but obviously the correct thing is to not mess up at the start :-P
 
6:09 PM
I like some RTSes, though I suck at them
 
If i play RTS, i play only single player.
 
I sometimes skip the single player entirely
 
I prefer TBS, 2D Worms & SMAC are some of my favorite games :D
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (SMAC) is the critically-acclaimed science fiction 4X turn-based strategy video game sequel to the Civilization series. Sid Meier, designer of Civilization, and Brian Reynolds, designer of Civilization II, developed Alpha Centauri after they left MicroProse to join the newly-created developer Firaxis Games. Electronic Arts released both SMAC and its expansion, Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire (SMAX), in 1999. In 2000, Aspyr Media and Loki Software ported both titles were to Mac OS and Linux. Set in the 22nd century, the game begins as seven competing ideological f...
 
I suck terribly at tactics. (If unit A, use unit B). I'm better at strategy. (Take the area here, destroy this bases construction ability, etc.)
Or w/e the correct terminology is
 
I've been playing RTS's since total annihilation came out, so I've had some time to improve
 
6:15 PM
SMAC allowed you to design your own units, for example, slow moving, hard hitting, heavy defence unit on the base.
 
So did GalCiv II
 
I've played the civ series, but I never gave alpha centauri a try
 
I tend to suck at most genres :(
Most of all though: Flight Simulators.
If I get off the ground, it's not for long
 
My problem with Flight Simulators isn't actually taking off or landing... it's not getting bored while I'm in the air
 
flight simulators are easy, once you understand how an aircraft works.
 
6:18 PM
My flight paths tend to go like so:
 
I mean, once you've got your plane on course, what else is there to do

It's such a pain to play a game now anyway - I've to reboot into Windows for most of them.
 
I've got a seperate wintendo.

I changed my Linux driver from fglrx, because it started to lag while scrolling in Pidgin, to radeon.
radeon works much better for 2d stuff, but it just doesn't work for 3d games in wine at all.

the only thing close to a flight sim I have played was en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Thunder:_A-10_Tank_Killer_II
 
Directed and Produced by Frank Evers (NYPH), Silent Thunder: A-10 Tank Killer 2 is a flight simulation computer game and the sequel to A-10 Tank Killer. Both games were made by Dynamix and Sierra produced Silent Thunder. It was made for Amiga and DOS platforms. In the game, the player takes the role of an American A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft pilot who fights in various campaigns across the world in order to keep the peace. The player character is Jack "Loudmouth" Haggart, a hotshot American pilot trying to make a name for himself in the U.S. Air Force. He starts off as a rookie pilot who...

I used to be quite good at this one:
Apache Longbow was a computer game released by Digital Integration in 1995 for DOS & Mac. It was released as Apache in the United States. Apache is a combat flight simulator of the American AH-64D Apache Longbow helicopter. It runs in DOS and has fairly minimal requirements considering that it was published during a period when Intel Pentium microprocessor-based PC systems were first becoming common.

I've only played this, since I'm mainstream like that
Microsoft Flight Simulator X, also known as FSX, is the latest version of Microsoft Flight Simulator after Flight Simulator 2004. It includes a graphics engine upgrade as well as compatibility with Windows Vista, having been marketed by Microsoft as the most important technological milestone in the series to date. It is the first version in the flight simulator series to be released on DVD-ROM. Overview Flight Simulator X marks the tenth version of the popular line of flight simulators. It was officially released to the US market on October 17, 2006. According to Microsoft's Web site fo...
 
meh. Considered getting it once. No stores selling it though now, and it's not on Steam, and it's 15GB.
 
I've even done some ATC online on IVAO
IVAO, or the International Virtual Aviation Organisation, is an Internet-based flight-simulation network. Overview IVAO provides flight-simulation enthusiasts with a network that allows them to either fly online with other people as pilots, or direct virtual air traffic as air traffic controllers using IVAO's own software "IvAC". Voice over IP and text messages are used to communicate among pilots and controllers. The actual flight simulation requires that a flight-simulation program such as Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane is installed on the user's local computer. This flight-s...
 
@Macha Right. Buying.
 
If I went on something like that IVAO, I'd just piss people off by sucking
@ArdaXi What do you mean by that?
 
6:32 PM
@Macha Nothing at all. shifts eyes
 
@ArdaXi I haven't pirated a game in years. I physically couldn't because of sucky internet for ages, and now that my internet is semi-decent, I'm still not inclined to.
 
@Macha I buy... most of my games
 
It's just that FSX isn't a game I would play for more than a week or so, and it is really expensive
 
@ArdaXi we have trials for that ;)
 
6:34 PM
@alexanderpas It's £40 on Amazon.co.uk . Too much for a game I'm merely curious about.
 
@Macha My point exactly.
I've spent enough cash on Steam to not feel guilty about pirating the occasional game
 
@alexanderpas Looks like a crippled trial. Two airports and three planes? For a flight sim?
I understand people can't stick the whole game in the trial, but on the other hand, if the trial is totally crippled, how can it give a good impression of the game?
 
the top one is in the trial
also, it only has a single island airport, vs. the whole world for the full game.
but other than that, it does feature the full physics model etc.
 
Anyone, I'm off to install and play the one flight simulator whose disc I still have.
 
6:42 PM
they should make an FSXI
 
This discussion has made me want to play it :P
 
play RTS's, come to the dark side!

Microsoft Flight is the working title of a new flight simulator program from developer Microsoft.

@en1gmatic325 I suck at RTS, way too much to keep track of
ooh
 
Or is it like Simcity Societies?
 
wouldn't know
 
@Arda What about single unit games, like DotA?
 
I'm just presuming since @alexanderpas was very much against it. (Or was that just coincedental timing)
 
6:44 PM
Or still too much to keep track of?
 
heroes of newerth is quite good (stand-alone dota basically)
 
@GraceNote I thought the whole RTS genre was about being some omniscient commander leading an army
 
I'm more agains games that release too much.
 
Ah, FFXIII must have annoyed you then :P
 
and yeah, I would not consider DOTA a true RTS
 
6:45 PM
the 30th game or so :P
 
@Arda Well, DotA and similar are kinda like leading an army. The only difference is that you only control one unit
The rest is either automatic, or controlled by your allies. It's still quite a game of strategy
 
@GraceNote Well, I wouldn't know, I've never played it
I mostly dislike having a big territory and needing to make sure everyone has something to do etc
 
@Macha FF is... acceptable... at least it is quality, unlike some sports games.
 
I prefer to focus on one group.. if anything
 
And you're playing DF?
 
6:46 PM
Yeah... I have no idea why
 
Dorfs have a mind.
 
yeah.. I guess. I don't have to keep track of everything
I can afford having 50% of my populace idle so long as there's enough food and booze
 
I hear you, though. I am horrible at macro. I love the idea of playing StarCraft, but I can't really get behind doing it remotely well
 
that 50% will spring into action automatically to counter fun.
 
for which, by the way, I have no idea how it happened... my third food stockpile just filled up
@alexanderpas haven't seen any fun yet.

Anyway, bye.
 
@ArdaXi non-evil... lol

for macro the main thing is just remembering everything you have to do...if you remember to do it you'll find that the hand speed required isn't actually that high
 
6:51 PM
doubled food stock again...
 
@ArdaXi where's the fun in that?
 
(and remember/use hotkeys, if you don't already do that)

yeah, but when you find a vein of like 20 adamantine rocks
argh.. I got a mayor recently :(
 
6:54 PM
now he's starting to make demands!
 
aye
I've so far had to make 5 sterling silver objects
and set up a complete glass-making economy because mr. mayor wanted a clear glass table
 
literally, wood furnace, kiln, glass furnace
 
already have a hammerer?
 
nope
what the... how did the elephant get in the dining room
he's supposed to guard the entrance
 
6:57 PM
yay fun!
 
that's another thing.. I have two elephants in a cage trap
but they aren't hauled to the animal stockpile
which means I can't train them
