and yes, i've found both the 1-up and the +50% life, and did not have to waste a blue twintail to get them, i simply rode the enemy projectiles.
 
Of course
 
okay, that was fun... got to do the second area another time (no point in wasting it all now...)
was just thinking... how high can you make your chain at the spawn mirror (why didn't i tought of that while playing the game?)
 
That's a very, very slow method that will require a lot of good timing to get it to work
Since your only steady source of projectile is what you're attacking, but they don't come out all that fast.
 
slow but steady?
yeah... missing one is bad...

having fun editing that question hgpc?
 
@hgpc The reason one is closed and the other isn't is a simple matter of the other one not currently being closed. It used to be closed

Q: Is there a way to watch the Final Fantasy XIII cutscenes a second time?

Jason BerkanIs there any way to watch specific Final Fantasy XIII cutscenes after finishing the game? Some of them are extremely well rendered and I would love to watch them again, but I really don't have the time to replay the game in order to do that.

Q: Where can I get a version of Pax Imperia for Windows.

dreamlaneBack in the old days I used to have Pax Imperia on an old Mac. That game was awesome, but I've note been able to find a version of it for windows. Does anyone know if there is a version of it available? I'm talkin' about the old Pax Imperia, not Pax Imperia 2 or 3 or anything like that.

 
4:18 AM
I write a really long answer to this question: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/6416 and it gets deleted...
 
up for discussion: what is it with runescape?
 
never played it
any good?

Ah, should head to bed, actually. Big day tomorrow.

@tzenes Undeleted out of respect for the answer.
 
Good afternoon all
Shouldn't an answer not be a criteria for undeletion? If the question is not helpful, a dupe, etc., why should we undelete it?
 
@FallenAngelEyes I don't think it should've been deleted in the first place
closed, maybe, but not deleted
 
Was this reopened?

Q: Gaming quotes and memes that have made their way into the real world?

MechkoI know the quote "The Cake is a lie" has made its way into the real world because I've heard non-gamers say it in an attempt to be cryptic. Are there any other quotes or memes like that which have come into common parlance after being coined in the gaming world? EDIT: I would suggest the word ...

 
It was never closed, so no
 
I don't really understand why that one remains open
 
11:42 AM
it's too localised really
I've never seen any of these IRL
and I've definitely never heard of zerg, despite having playes many RTS and MMOs
 
It's not really even a question and it definitely doesn't require "expert" opinions
not to mention the subjectivity of what constitutes "real world." I've actually heard several of these terms used by people IRL, but I hang around with gamer nerds, so...
 
@FallenAngelEyes I wish I did... :P
 
I mean, if it asked about "What's the origin of this popularly used gaming term?" we could possibly leave it open, but as it stands, I think it's a rather poor example of a question we want on the frontpage.
Wow I think it's actually not raining today for once
Heading out to town, later all
 
11:59 AM
I just voted to close that one as off topic
I'm sure (?) an English SE would love it
 
We need a close reason for "another bloody hugely broad list".
 
12:24 PM
If a list is bloody hugely, make a category for it on wikipedia and put games under it, then link to the category listings!!
 
@badp, stop trying to outsource the answers :(

Q: Starcraft 2: Microphone doesn't work in-game

Amir RachumSC2 has an in-game microphone feature (push-to-talk), but it simply doesn't work. My microphone is functioning outside of the game and when I talk I can see that it picks up my voice (the microphone waves move), but no one can hear me. Also, the microphone test does not work. My settings are fine...

 
@ArdaXi Is it really outsourcing? Wikipedia content uses our very own license.
 
it's not the same site
using the same licence only makes copying easier
 
We don't want people to come to our site for a list of MMO's anyway, right?
 
maybe not, but we should fix that by not answering, not by redirecting

hi
 
good aftenoon @didxga
 
2:12 PM
So chances are we'll become ThatOneLevel, after all.
 
Awesome.
 
Who knows, maybe my questoverload.com proposed domain name can fit the DnD SE better
Here's how to ignore a decent 70% of Gaming: xbox* ipod* ipad* wii facebook kde mac starcraft* *warcraft* team-fortress-2 final-fantasy* ps* dwarf-fortress real-time-strategy ds rpg pokemon*
I should probably change team-fortress-2 in team-fortress* however.
 
or just xbox ps3 pc
gets you quite far
 
yeah, but does anybody have "xbox ps3 pc" as his ignored list?
:/
 
@badp does anybody have xbox* ipod* ipad* wii facebook kde mac starcraft* *warcraft* team-fortress-2 final-fantasy* ps* dwarf-fortress real-time-strategy ds rpg pokemon* as his ignored list? :P

Q: Is it worth it to shoot at the rocks in Beat Hazard?

Q: How poison works in Worms Reloaded?

DrakeIf a worm get poisoned in Worms Reloaded, is possible to remove it in some way? And another question, how often and how much life is removed when a worm is poisoned?

 
wow, it's incredible how much slower DF runs on my notebook
 
Hey, just making sure: Is asking for tips on how to be a good driver in Mafia II considered suitable for the site?
 
ugh, another alternative to Q&A, a question with multiple questions, Q&Q&A
@Mana depends, would it be a list question?
and is it subjective?
 
That's true.
hmm, maybe if I reworded it "Safe driver" and specified that I don't want people honking at me or crashing into me.
naw, too much trouble, I'll just think of something else to ask about the game.
 
2:34 PM
oh wow someone besides me plays Beat Hazard!
 
I play Beat Hazard...
:<
 
aww, who ruined my average!
 
It's like everything I want in a game. I can play my own music and I get to shoot things and there are pretty colors.
 
I had 1 view, 1 upvote and 1 star!
Now I have 4 views, 2 upvotes and 2 stars!
Unacceptable!
@Mana, it's kinda fun, but I can't help shake the feeling that, had Beat Hazard been written by the makers of Audiosurf, it would have been a better game.
 
hmm, I guess.
 
2:37 PM
Audiosurf is exactly as intense as the song. Beat Hazard can (and does) send you a boss during dead moments of a song, where your weapons don't do jack shit.
 
I think it's hard to compare the two
 
@badp where?
 
maaaaaaan

I'm stuck. I actually don't know what to say to this.
I guess we could design a super sexy awesome banner for the site and go around posting on forums these people hang out at.
 
What happened to quicksave and quickload?
 
Oh, hey.
 
2:46 PM
@Mana Neither do I, hoping someone does
 
I think the only thing we can do is ask more questions, really
 
That's true.
 
Linking to established communities could definitely be helpful, but we'd need to be careful of not coming off as link spammers, otherwise the comms might ignore us altogether :(
 
That's the thing, though. The best way to do it is to infiltrate a community, gain respect and friends, and then mention to them that you have this site you think they'd be interested in.
That takes time. Months of time, usually.
 
But that can take... yeah
And we have... how many days left in beta?
 
2:49 PM
I think 40 now
39
 
We're on day 51
of 9
 
Yeah, so 39...
 
THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE
 
If webapps makes it, we should be fine.
But I'd still like to beat Server Fault :P
 
Yeah...I don't know.
 
2:51 PM
Also, was reading last night's backscroll, what the hell is this? chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/131429
 
Okay. I vouch for a plan. Today, each of us will post at least two questions.
 
I've posted my first question already =)
 
Awesome.
I'll play through Mafia II and think of ways I can rework my safe driving question so that it has an objective answer that isn't a giant list, as well as other related questions.
 
My problem is that most of the questions I tend to ask about games are kind of subjective, like build advice, good class guides, stuff that requires discussion, etc. :/ I don't often have straight Q&A type questions
 
Remember, red means "go through really fast"
 
2:54 PM
Morn all
 
Morning
 
Morn, @badp
 
Or stuff that's localized, like wondering about the cymbals for RB3 and compatibility
Heya Grace
 
Morn, @Fall Leaves
 
You know what, I think beta SE's would be much more meaningful if they didn't create eleventy every week
 
2:54 PM
>_>
 
@badp The reason is, they're trying to go through the proposals quickly
 
Is there all that much overlap between proposals?
 
Though some (Wordpress, Ubuntu, Apple) really should be part of other sites.
 
@badp it reached critical mass a bit too quickly
 
Though admittedly, when I look at everyone's profile, I start to wonder if I'm the only person who bothered to participate in only one Beta
 
2:55 PM
@GraceNote me too
 
I don't think I've ever actually looked at your profile
 
I tried committing to the english proposal but it made me feel guilty about not giving Gaming enough attention
 
I committed to Game Dev at first, but withdrew well before it went into Beta
 
Yeah, I looked at English as well but I decided the same, @ArdaXi
 
I do game dev after all, but I feel I'll be more useful here
 
2:57 PM
I tried doing game dev but decided I needed to finish math first :)
 
I committed to Unix, Webmasters and WebApps. Webmasters and WebApps I did, but after the commitment was done left.
I'm not hugely active in Unix, but I'm getting there.
 
Which reminds me of thoughts on what the average age of our site is
 
@GraceNote 25
 
That's our average or yours, @Arda?
 
I could calculate the actual average age
 
2:59 PM
My average age is apparently 19
 
but everyone I've seen is between 20-30
@GraceNote No, I'm 15
 
Some outliers, though. There is one community that is convinced I am in my late 30s
 
I'm 17.
 
your average age?
 
"Too responsible! And good DMing skills can't come from youth. I'd say late 30s", is a rough paraphrase
 
3:00 PM
No, my age.
 
@Arda The average age people peg me for
 
Wouldn't having an average age imply that you had several? >_>
 
ah
@GraceNote You decide your entire personality on how people perceive you in a community?
 
No
I'm turning 23 in a few days.
 
For some reason, a few people thought I was a girl at first... Not here, but on Twitter
 
3:01 PM
@GraceNote I was referring to the conversation we had regarding your gender a couple weeks back :-)
 
My personality is myself. I've long since abandoned the notion of betraying my self
You had a conversation about my sex 3 days ago!
 
I'm not in the habit of ascribing personality traits to gender, so I never assume people are male or female
 
@GraceNote Sadly, all my friends lame enough to play D&D etc. are already playing WoW :(
 
@GraceNote well.. yeah.. but there was one before that too
 
It's right in the transcript, shortly after the whole debacle on "answers that link content"
According to tzenes, there have been more than a few discussions on my sex
@Macha My brother and I convinced our friends to halt WoW to play DnD.
 
3:02 PM
That's.. flattering, in a way, I guess
 
@GraceNote Lucky :P
 
Well, I'll say it clearly again, since only tzenes was around last time
I honestly don't care what pronoun people use to refer to me. Treat me as whatever sex makes you feel comfortable
I'll continue to behave as myself. I'm not going to act more masculine or feminine based on how people perceive me.

Q: Can any Pokemon can learn False Swipes, Mean Look, and a move to inflict paralysis or sleep?

MachaI am going after the roaming pokemon in Pokemon SoulSilver, and they are a nuisance to catch. I need Mean Look to ensure that they don't immediately run, False Swipes to hurt it as much as possible without fainting it, and a move to paralyze them or put them to sleep to catch them. At the moment...

 
I generally stick with Parasect, but it doesn't get Mean Look

3:05 PM
I just saw it earlier
 
@GraceNote Mean Look is the most important part, given the context.
 
dwarves that forego any celebrations when getting married are so considerate :D
 
Well, I don't know if it's as mean in HG/SS, but in FR/LG Mean Look is a BAD IDEA against the dogs
 
I personally don't really believe in the notions of "masculine/feminine"
lol @ArdaXi
 
Because Mean Look prevents them from running away - it does not prevent them from using Roar, which will actually count as permanently ending their existence
 
3:07 PM
oh, Macha, may I give you some feedback on your blog post?
 
@GraceNote In HG/SS all fainted/etc legendaries respawn after a week.
@FallenAngelEyes Go ahead
 
Yeah, it's a lot nicer, but do Entei and Raikou still have Roar?
 
@GraceNote I presume they do
 
Oooh, there IS a pokemon that can get all 3
Well, let's first see if it's physically possible to have all 3
 
Quick question first, where are you from, Macha?

Q: Call of Juarez: everytime stutter when loading something

markI'm still at the start of the game but one thing is annoying as hell: whenever I'm maneuvering around in the map and the game needs to load something (e.g. a sound or such a thing), there's a stutter or a short pause so to say. E.g. I climb up something it's clear that the game suddenly pauses f...

 
Ah okay, you use British rules then, yes?
 
Yes
 
I'll skip my first point then
as it's a difference point between British and American punctuation usage, which I just realized I should ask about first
 
@FallenAngelEyes Which is what anyway? I'm curious.
 
3:11 PM
Constantly getting ordered around “dig this, dig that”, “build a floodgate here, release the lava there”.
 
I'm actually not sure if that's an American/English difference
 
American usage is to put terminal punctuation within quotation marks, whereas British usage is to put it outside
 
I thought it's just allowed either way
 
Ah, punctuation inside quotation marks?
 
Aye
But since you use British rules, that's fine :) Don't wanna step on toes in that manner
 
3:13 PM
kk
 
yeah, it differs in English rules... Americans always put it inside
anyway, you had more points? :P
 
If the critique isn't welcome, I won't offer it, I'm just trying to help :(
 
@FallenAngelEyes I think Macha did accept it... just ignore me
 
@FallenAngelEyes It's fine. Keep going.
 
@Macha With regards to your Meta question by the way, don't ask me. I come from the communities that are almost impossible to attract here
Import gamers and niche gamers always operate in groups, because they rely on each other to get news of when there are releases
 
3:17 PM
@GraceNote kk. Your opinion is usually useful, which is why I pointed it out to you.
 
The consequence of this is that they all play the game together, they all solve each other's problems together, and they don't have an outside source to resort to because no one else who speaks the same language will have heard of the game.
The MMT question asked by tzenes is a perfect illustration of this example, actually
 
"They just have to map out an area. By pressing d, then selecting a few tiles." <-Those sentences should be connected, as the second one isn't really a full sentence
Are d and D different commands in DF? Can't remember off the top of my head
 
If I hadn't been touting that ridiculously long name around so often, it's very easy for such an under-advertised game to be completely missed by the community. Instead, someone within the community ends up asking within the community, because they heard of the game there and can only truly know that place to be a source of answers.
 
Yes
 
Yeah, D shows depot access.
 
3:19 PM
Might want to italicize d, just for a little more stylistic clarity
 
kk
Added in (will save once all changes are done)
 
We should come up with a convention for the blog to represent key commands
Since we won't have <kbd> nor backticks
 
Have any of them picked up a pickaxe like a real dwarf, and dug their way through the rock? <-don't need that comma there
 
Italics sounds good
 
ahem <kbd> is HTMl
HTML*
Usually monospaced.
It's not markdown specific.
 
3:21 PM
Will it work on the blog?
 
We should probably use that then, aye?
 
If it's not obvious, I'm terribly new to this whole blogging thing. Never even looked at one until after I graduated college
 
Checking now
 
Unless Wordpress.com allows editing CSS it won't work
 
@ArdaXi It allows picking a theme
 
3:22 PM
@Macha only pre-installed ones, no?
 
Our theme monospaces it, which isn't terribly obvious for single keys :(
 
you'd have to find one with rules for kbd then
unless.
one sec
 
Right, I just stuck in some inline CSS for now. (Shoot me)
 
you can try <kbd style="padding:2px 4px;white-space:nowrap;color:#000;background:#eee;border-width:1px 3px 3px 1px;border-style:solid;border-color:#ccc #aaa #888 #bbb;">
 
Nope. Wordpress strips inline CSS :(
 
3:24 PM
d'aw
 
And the way they treat us, it’s like we are expendable. Just because we don’t know which side of a floodgate is which. <-(I really like the dialogue tone you've taken, so trying to work within that for correction stuff) I think it might work a little better if you used an ellipsis between "us" and "it's," as they're technically 2 clauses. Also, perhaps consider an exclamation point after "which," which would make the sentence a bit stronger.
 
Done
Also, asked on the Wordpress SE for a theme that styles kbd elements more obviously.
0
Q: Is their a wordpress.com theme that has styling for kbd elements other than monospacing them?

MachaJust a problem we ran into while setting up the (currently unofficial) Gaming SE blog. As you can see on the latest DF post, kbd elements are styled as monospaced with the current theme. Is their a wordpress.com theme that styles them a bit more obviously, such as italics? I'm guessing something ...

 
@Macha their -> there
 
I noticed in the preview
cringes How'd I do that?
 
don't worry, it happens
look at the way the df wiki does kbd styling maybe
 
3:32 PM
It won't let me send a message because it's too long dangit, haha
"I mean, as long as you remember not to dig too far down through the adamantium, and to brew enough drinks for us working dwarves, by building your stills, and giving a few dwarves jobs as brewers, by pressing q, and telling them to brew a drink, life is fine."
<-The sentence as it stands has some awkward pauses as a dialogue with the commas.
Try "I mean, as long as you remember not to dig too far down through the adamantium, to brew enough drinks for us working dwarves by building your stills, and giving a few dwarves jobs as brewers by pressing q and telling them to brew a drink, life is fine."
Plus the keyboard command, however we end up emphasizing that.
 
... CARP
 
"For those who don’t like the diagrams done by my good friend Urist McText," <-should have a comma between "friend" and "Urist"
o.O?
 
I just unlocked something and I still didn't actually figure out what the condition was
 
@FallenAngelEyes not sure about that, I think you can go both ways
 
They tell you the condition but I don't remember the meaning of these particular kanji
 
3:36 PM
In the context of the entire sentence, it's parenthetical
 
kk
 
Just if you do lead a fort some day, <-would probably put a comma after "Just" there, as if you said it out loud, you'd have a slight pause there
 
done
 
Actually, now that I think of it, their are a lot of new fortresses being built lately. <-their/there problem again
 
Evidently, my brain turns off at times.
 
3:40 PM
hehe
 
I wonder if we actually have any Japanese users on Gaming
 
Gonna skip listing all the commands and stuff, cuz I presume you'll fidget with those later if/when there's an answer to the monospace question
 
Admittedly I don't really know a whole lot. The only sampling I know is Irish, Argentinian, Hollish, and Italian
(users, I mean)
 
Hollish?
 
I like saying Dutch too, but Hollish is more fun (and a Penny Arcade reference)
 
3:42 PM
Oh.. right
 
never heard that one
 
me neither
UD says: it is considered more accurate than "Dutch"
 
Gimmeh a moment
 
I know the best of us go into some strange moods at time <-I think you mean "at times" here?
 
but... hollish only covers like 1/6th of our country
 
I kinda have a pet peeve with the Holland pars pro toto
 
The Holland what?
 
Yeah, Holland's technically only some of the western bits
 
@GraceNote Holland is a region of The Netherlands, kinda like our trading hub.. so people used to only come into contact with it
 
@FallenAngelEyes That all the changes?
 
3:45 PM
Ah
 
But, that’s no good if you get attacked by a dragon, or a titan <-don't really need the second comma there. The first is either/or, stylistic choice really. The second feels a bit extraneous though
 
Basically everything foreigners know about Dutch culture is really only Holland's culture, which is really different outside of that region
 
I see.
 
like Brabant's insanity around Carnival
You’ll need a force of dedicated axedwarves and marksdwarves to deal with those nasties, if you don’t want your fort to get ruined. You’ll need to have the smiths make weapons for them, and build them a barracks to train in. <-don't need either of those commas
My father was an sculptor <-an should be a
 
That originally read engraver, so that's why that happened.
Fixed

Why, just appoint some engraves <-assuming that should be "engravers"?
 
Yes.
Neither Chrome's nor Wordpress' spell checker picked it up, oddly.
Oh, wait, it is a proper word. Just the wrong one.
 
aye
That's it, methinks

Now, I have to go for now.

Q: Worms Reloaded (demo) menus act as if down arrow is being pressed all the time

MBraedleyUnlike this guy, I can launch the Worms Reloaded demo from Steam on my win7 64-bit machine just fine. However, once I get into the demo, all the menus act as if I'm holding down the down arrow (or some similar key). I know this is not the case because I'm not touching either my keyboard or mous...

 
I wonder why I bothered to set up defenses with the only threat being antmen

Q: How do you access the "Piercing the Shroud" mission if you've already completed the campaign?

JasonI beat the campaign and then saw that I was 25/26 on missions. I did some research and found out about the secret level, Piercing the Shroud. I went back and got the secret (avoiding a spoiler here) and then beat the level. However, on my "Mission Archives" screen I can't find that level. Also, I...

Q: How does magnet works in Worms Reloaded?

DrakeI tried to launch the magnet on the terrain, it does some graphical effects and nothing more... How does it works and when to use it?

 
4:46 PM
Well that's a useless comment...
 
Well, that settles that...
 
Hey everyone... just checking out the new (to me) chat system for the first time. Looks pretty sweet! Now I'll really never get any work done, ha!
 
Hey, @Josh
Long time no see
 
@Josh: Quick! Block port 80 before it's too late!
 
Yeah, been very busy recently
lol @MadsElvheim
@Grace I came to gaming.stackexchenge.com from www.gamelegend.com (a former stackexchange site) and haven't had time to answer/ask as much as I'd like to... yet
 
4:57 PM
I haven't even seen you on Meta for months, though
But, as you said, busy, aye?
 
yeah. makes me sad, I miss that place :-)
 
(I'm ccomet, by the way)
 
had to force myself to take an SOFU hiatus to get new projects done :-)
Ah HA!
 
Haa, I can't blame you there
 
I was trying to think of where we'd talked on Meta -- I knew Grace Note from gaming but not meta :-)
 
4:58 PM
Indeed. You weren't around when I changed my display name
I like Grace Note. Easier to say, and it even looks like a proper name
 
I wasn't around for a LOT of stuff! I feel like so much happened during the ~6 weeks I was away, lol
I have a few more questions I asked on www.gamelegend.com which supposedly will be shut down soon -- I mostly created them to "seed" that site with some initial content. Think it would be a good idea to copy those to gaming.stackexchange.com for the same motive (seeding this site with some questions)?
 
Only if you actually need the answers
Don't ask for asking's sake.
 
Out of curiosity, what's with the yellow border around some tags?
 
Gotcha. Most I don't, I was asking them for the wiki-ish philosiphy
@badp like which ones?

Q: SimCity 4: How to increase demand in a city pop. ~45,000?

Robert FraserMy city is close to perfect but I can't seem to get any demand -- it's negative in all categories! It's 45,000 people, and all but one bar of mayor rating filled up. EQ (education) is nearly 200 everywhere, all the opinion polls are full (except environment and traffic, which are ~3/4). Average s...

Q: Is there an overview of the dwarf fortress economy?

DMA57361I started playing Dwarf Fortress about a week ago and have hit my first winter; I've got more dwarfs now and think I've got maintaining food and drink supplies under control, but I'm wanting to expand my economy. I've started building various workshops and it's hard to tell what you need to do w...

@Josh Like those around your most voted question there
snes, rpg, spoiler
 
@badp OH! You mean on gamelegend.com. LOL
I was looking on gaming.stackexchange.com
I have no idea.
 
oh, I see we agree then :D
 
Anyone of you play Moonbase Commander? I've been looking for people to play with for a while (-:
 
gamelegend.comis probably going away gamelegend.com/questions/254/…
 
Question 254? :|
 
5:43 PM
@badp yes we agree
Question 254 is where the owner of GameLegend talked about why the site will soon be closed
 
I was rather commenting on the total number of questions. (162)
Disheartening, really.
 
:-/
okay well I need to go find some of that food-stuff :-)
catch you all later!
 
Later!
 
Okay, who has delete votes and hates Hidden Features?
