Q: Delayed actions when units are clicked

Juan ManuelWhenever I click a unit and then issue it an order, there is like a second of delay until it does what I told it to do. I think I remember seeing somewhere that this can be configured for lag issues, but I don't remember where I read it, nor could I find it in the options menu. Any ideas?

Q: Cold themed top-down shooter game with constant freezing damage

badpI'm trying to remember the name of a certain game with a few peculiarities. The game's theme is cold. You start from a warm safe spot and have to move from safe spot to safe spot to the end of each level. In the middle there is cold, which damages you, and baddies, which you have to kill. The H...

Oh, right.

Q: What gadget do you recommend for capturing (high definition) audio and video from my TV/Xbox 360?

th3dudeI'd like to find a gadget to hook up to my Xbox 360/PS3/TV so that I can record high definition videos of gameplay. What should I get?

I think this is one of those that got migrated
shouldn't we edit it into acceptablelandness?
I just did.
 
11:09 AM
@badp I loved that one
 
hah, Gaming is screaming my name!
 
oh?
 
I did some house cleaning.

Q: Help identify a real time strategic game taking place on flying islands

PeterKI'm trying to find a particular game I used to play years ago, probably way before Y2K. It was sort of a realtime strategy, where you had to build structures on flying islands, connect them with roads (even bridges between islands, those could crumble and fall if built wrong). I think there was s...

Q: Blutsauger without any Medic achievements?

ShaderachI just started playing TF2 and the only Medic-related achievement I have is Play Doctor. Yet, after only 2 hours of play, not all of which were as the Medic, I've already received the Blutsauger. The official TF Wiki says this is awarded after 10 Medic achievements are completed (Medic Pack 1). ...

Q: What happens if I separate a dwarf from his favorite shield?

C. RossOur militia commander just got attached to a silly oaken buckler. I was planning on upgrading him to a steel shield. What will happen if I forcibly separate him from his shield?

'kingdom-hearts-birth-by-sleep' exceeds maximum tag length of 25 <-sigh :(
[kingdom-hearts] and [birth-by-sleep] okay, you think?
 
Yup.
KH is the series.
If it really bothers you, maybe something like kh-birth-by-sleep?
I had to do cnc-zero-hour a while back, as I'm fairly certain there was another game called Zero Hour and command-and-conquer-generals-zero-hour blew away the tag limit.
 
Well I posted it as separate tags
Would it be better if I did it as a combo abbreviated/full like you did with CnC you think?

Q: What is the most complete/stable PSX emulator you've found?

ixtmixilixI'm looking for a good PSX emulator for my i686 laptop. I use Debian & Ubuntu. Any suggestions?

 
5:03 PM
@Macha cool! kinda.
@CRoss Nope
@FallenAngelEyes [kingdom-hearts-bbs]?
 
Test
oh, that's neat.
I think [kingdom-hearts-bbs] is good
 
Man, the naming thread has answers waving up and down so much it's not even funny
 
ja, I just cast in down votes even though I usually don't
since I really want stage six/seven to win it if possible
 
@badp Never even heard the word gowl before.
 
if that's the way you're playing I'm downvoting stagesix :P
@ArdaXi Nor have I, that's why I checked the urban dictionary
 
5:14 PM
>:
look, there are all sorts of obscure terms
 
I think it's minor enough but it might be a deal breaker if the word is common enough
"yeah, gaming pussies"
 
that people can make out of anything, on urban dictionary
 
there are 40 thumbs up there...
 
probably out of amusement
 
GamingOwls is tied now
 
5:16 PM
I could make the definition for Stage Seven on UD "having sex in some obscure position" and then we would have to reconsider
we being whoever agrees with that name
 
I'm in the South of Ireland, where it's apparently from, and I never heard it either :P
 
So it pretty much isn't @badp

I think consensus is to not allow emulator questions regardless
I think
 
I closed it instead of deleting it
low traffic on a saturday for everybody to act quickly :)
 
uh
wait that close reason isn't good, he'll be wondering how it's not related to games
 
"within the scope defined in the faq."
the faq should say "no emulators"

Q: What's the official stance on console emulation?

John RudyThe way I see it, many of us enthusiasts are probably familiar with emulation and use emulators to play classic games. (I do, I'll readily admit.) However, it's also fairly likely that many cartridge/disc/tape/etc. rips for said emulators are ... well ... not 100% legal, at least in the U.S., an...

the top-voted answer says that discussion of emulators is allowed
 
5:41 PM
i'd say it's undefined
ill add a link to that question
 
fair enough
 
Jeff said he'd personally would allow it, as long as there wasn't any clear warez links and such
I personally think it's a grey area, we best keep white
 
I don't have any problem with black.
 
now I'm definitively in the white camp
 
:P

Q: Why do Rockband Drumsets need to be recalibrated so often?

BlueRaja - Danny PflughoeftI used to play RockBand 2 on my friend's PS3, but every so often it would feel completely off and need to be recalibrated. The new calibration settings always ended up as one of two or three settings: Sound: -8ms; Video: +42ms Sound: +8ms; Video: +22ms (there may have been a third, I forget) ...

 
6:19 PM
I'm all for emulators (as long as the question relates to a game). However, that one, I'd close as emu-rec :P

our owls are winning!
 
I think the only suggestion that didn't have downvotes, LavaJumping, is so because it suggests like five or six different domains. There's bound to be one you don't want to puke on there.
 
I think that the owls also goes with our current dark theme
 
I like StageSix, but I think it might be pushing it a bit to get SO to fork out $1k for it.
8bitHeroes is also quite nice.
 
@Macha but SO is willing to fork $1k on Gaming (for the SC2 tourney)
 
7:17 PM
What SC2 tournament?
 
if we really truly love the name, we can move the $1k there
However I'm afraid it needs more concrete details
 
Oh. I only saw the one about "What players would you like to see", and I presumed it was someone's dream for a year or two down the road.
 
StageSix, however, is $2k
I'm upvoting Grace's because she went out and asked prices -- oh wait, it's just the "auction" prize -- oh wait, not an auction.
@Macha have you downvoted the entries here?
 
@badp Nope, too lazy. Besides, the top one lists a specific town (mullingar) so could conceivably be accurate
 
fair 'nuff
 
7:31 PM
Is it bad that I just edited an extra space into an answer so that I could change my vote?
 
7:46 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz No...
 
I usually manage to find some grammar or spelling to fix, but..
 
@Macha I'll insert some typos for you next time, mkay? :D
 
wait
what
 
@Mana uh?
 
People actually upvoted SaveMyPrincess.com?! :D
LOL
 
7:54 PM
SaveMeAPrincahzNoob.com
okay, so Princahz is not quite like Sammich. :/
 
uuuugh
proofs...PROOOOOOOFS
WHYYYYYY
 
Fun fact: qed, translated in Italian, is cvd; in some areas of Italy, that's dialect for "I'm sorry, what?"
 
that's...very suitable
 
(more literally "what do you mean?", but it doesn't quite render the tone :D)
 
if only I could call on the Elite Beat Agents for help
 
8:00 PM
guys and gals, I've posted an important notice for the lavajumping answer
4
A: Last Chance -- Top domain name: pauseforhelp.com. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

badplavajumping.com Not taken at all, common in many games and yet impossible in "real life". Try googling "can you jump over lava?" -- all the hits are about gaming. On a similar vein: slimepools.com spikedpits.com walkingmushrooms.com instadeath.com everythingkillsyou.com lowhitpoints.com ...

please revise your vote if required
 
No need, I downvoted for the sake of all of them
(no offence)
 
No problem
It's not about me, it's about the site.
 
I just really want gaming owls
 
eh, really?
I find gaming owls to be a really dull name.
 
hoot

I would prefer pause for help to that one

Q: How to star mission on Dathomir in Empire at War: Forces of Corruption

Maciej PiechotkaIf I try to move any unit on Dathomir Zann says it mission for Uthar and him alone. However when I try to move them there nothing happens (including dialog).

 
How about we get all the domains!?
 
I have all the domains. All of them.
 
Gaming Owls is far less dull than pauseforhelp
It's very... generic
It could be and QA site
 
You know, I would actually buy it, and if we don't want it I'll just keep it
 
8:08 PM
@ArdaXi I want a percentage!!!!!11one
 
of what? the cost? sure thing
 
fair point
I can pay a fraction in tshirts, balpha owes me one :P
At the end of the day, StageSix probably rules all. However, I mean, 1,990$?
GamingOwls could be seen as a counterplay of SuperUser though.
GamingOwls : SuperUser = StageSix : StackOverflow
 
I don't get it.
 
I get GamingOwls : SuperUser, but not StageSix : StackOverflow, since Overflow is a verb
 
8:32 PM
Whenever I think Stage6 I think 'HD video-sharing site'
@Mana Used as a noun in StackOverflow though
 
I guess
in the term the name's based off of overflow is a verb
I think.
 
A Stack Overflow is a common, er, happening when programming
 
@Mana No it isn't. It's used as 'an overflow of the stack'
 
Stage Six also is in Gaming.
 
@badp Stage6.com isn't.
 
8:34 PM
oh
so it is
 
What does bother me about Stage Six is that Stage6 is Trademark of DivX
They can probably sue SO Inc. for trademark infringment
 
APB died?
 
@ArdaXi Yes.
I guess that settles a record
 
Pshaw, I was on the special tester service and I don't get so much as an email :(
 
Well -- I surely hope so.
 
8:38 PM
Their site isn't very interesting right now.
 
uh, wasn't their website apb.com?
indeed it is.
 
It's like a statement.
 
fixed

9:04 PM
downvote here
 
to be honest I really like faqthisgame
obviously not for this site, but it would be nice if I ever made my own game faq
 
I'm afraid the trademark problem could be the killing blow on StageSix
 
yeah, I'm afraid so too
 
f-a-q-this-game too many syllables :P
