Time for another round of name-this-game!
Here's the data:
Windows 98 game (not sure, maybe Win95)
Spaceship going around, shooting things…
…but it's not a vertical/horizontal scroller
Shareware (ok not really helpful)
You could go on missions…
…then refuel at local gas station, then…
…you coul...
I'm running a (new) 2010 Macbook Pro with:
A Core i7 2.66 Ghz Processor
8GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M Graphics Card
Is it really possible that it can't handle the "high" graphics settings on Starcraft II? It's particularly confusing since I'm using all the "recommended" graphics settings -...
Are there any good strategies for a pair (or more) of players to use? Obviously rushing is better if you both do it, but what other things can you try? Unit synergies? One player building army and other just worrying about economy?
What are the highest levels that one could set the graphics settings for a bottom of the range mid-2009 Macbook Pro using bootcamp? I don't mind if they involve installing different drivers or tweaking other settings elsewhere, but after seeing MW2 running at high settings, I really can't go bac...
I thought that I remembered the ability to assign a hotkey to a location in SC1, but I don't see anything listed in the hotkeys for SC2 for such a thing. I'd like to be able to immediately switch the view to a particular location (like backspace does for your base).
I thought I saw something in ...
Does anybody have a link to a Printable Tech Tree for StarCraft 2, especially with building and upgrade costs/time to build? PDF format would be best, but any sort of reference that is publicly available would be handy.
Found these ones, but they don't have costs/time to build: http://starcraft....
I'm looking for games that include prcedurally generated content as a major feature; like all levels are generated, enemies, weapons, etc.
One per answer please, and pics if you got em!
I think the major difference between this and a question on SO like "What's a Javascript option that is similar to Tomcat?" is that game recommendations are something everyone has an opinion on, where this sample question is something only someone who knows a lot about javascript and servers is likely to answer.
Maybe, but that's not guaranteed to be true. I could easily see a question a long the lines of "What's a good First Person Shooter for the 360 that is similar to Modern Warfare 2?" having a dozen different highly ranked answers
Well consider a quick cross section of EpicAdvice questions: "What do I do with leftover materials?" "Can a mage conjour a mount?" "what are good wow sites" If you are a guy who spends hours using spreadsheets to accurately calculate death knight dps numbers (like I used to) there is no reason you'd want to go there.
I actually think they lack the specificity. The original "class" questions were just: "How do I level a Priest?" This is akin to asking "How do I program in C?" Its a bad question. On the other hand if they had asked, "What is the formula for spirit based mana regen in WotLK?" it probably would have received a much more positive response.
Though the most interesting question would be: "For a Holy Priest which is better Glowing Twilight Scale or Sliver of Pure Ice?"
Hi!
I read from a local gaming magazine that Civilization V board will be a hex-board and unit stacks are disabled.
This reminds me of a 90's game called Battle Isle. It was good. But it was never a classic like civilization.
I feel sceptical...
Do you know more about this?
Why they changed ...
Okay, so I'm going to be digging deep here. I'm trying to find a browser based game that I played back in 2000-2001.
The game started on a grid map of a planet (that you revealed by exploring) where you had to build up a base, and collect resources. I know it was turn based, but I don't rememb...
Hi!
I used to play a lot of the Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix games (1-4).
The game was about making the best setup for a formula-1 car.
Of course, first it was about driving, but when you had learned the track, the driving was quite easy and it was all about the setups. And making them better th...
When starting up Dwarf Fortress, the options I get are:
Continue Playing
Create New World
Design new world
Object Testing Arena
Is there some way to start a second fortress game without starting a new world, or abandoing my existing fortress?
Ok, this game I am having a hard time tracking down. I used to have an Apple IIgs back in the day, and ever since my parents made me trash the machine and all its games I've been feeling nostalgic about revisiting some of my old gaming haunts.
Anyways
This game was basically an over-the should...
Just to start with an example:
Back in 1990 I played Bundesliga Manager Professional (Soccer Manager).
You have to set 11 of your player to the "In team"-state before each match. If you put a player on the transfer market he won't be shown on the team-screen but he will keep his "In team"-state...
What game do you always find yourself going back to play again and again? Any platform, any generation. Keep it to one game per answer so others can upvote to agree.

Again, just asking for a list, imo, which again has the potential to become just a large list of "games with funny bugs" or something? I don't really see the potential for usefulness there...
If you could go back in time and tell yourself to read a specific book at the beginning of your career as a developer, which book would it be?
I expect this list to be varied and to cover a wide range of things. For me, the book would be Code Complete. After reading that book, I was able to get ...
Hi all
I've recently started plowing through HL2 and the episodic content (currently starting out on Ep 2), and have noticed a weird problem.
It seems that after an undetermined amount of time, my computer will crash. My computer is a notebook with an Nvidia dedicated graphics chip...its good ...
"Fun" questions are often just discussions that could be potentially found on any forum or message board. We want to differentiate ourselves from that.
Even if we do attract new users with these "fun" questions to give answers, they'll be the types who will want to ask more "fun" questions more than likely.
So we should focus less on worrying about views, since it seems we already have a pretty regular group of people who visit the site, and more on making sure the questions are as objective as possible.
After some thought and discussion with other users on chat, my opinion that in general, these sort of questions should be allowed, as long as
They are not too broad

Not too broad - because just a list of all RTSs doesn't add anything. Many other sites catalo...
Whats the point of having to put in both the Name and the Character code of the user your trying add as a friend?
I dont really understand their thinking, it just sends a request anyways doesnt it?
I can see how it would cut down on spam requests, (those people that try to add everyone they p...
Obviously anyone can just put http://steamcommunity.com/openid into the generic OpenID field, but a nice button would be good to make it easier for PC gamers to sign in. Nice buttons are available here: http://steamcommunity.com/dev

I want to get a PS3, but I'm considering waiting until this year's holiday bundle comes out. Does anyone remember when these usually hit?

I am curious is there a way you can find out how many hours play time you have clocked in WOW, Either in total, or by character/realm?

There are SPECACT Insignia and also certain SPECACT Efficiency/Excellency PINs to achieve in Battlefield Bad Company 2.
How can they be achieved?
