Q: Who or what is the "other M" in Metroid: Other M?

KipSpoilers Who or what is this "Other M" that is referenced in the game's title? Is there anywhere this is stated definitively (or pretty clearly implied) in the game? I've finished the whole game, including the return to the bottle ship to get Adam's helmet. (I have not played on hard mode though...

Q: Does key remapping software violate the Guild Wars Terms of Service?

Jason BerkanI have successfully solved the camera issue from this question by using AutoHotKey to remap a key to the right mouse button. However, after I tested the solution, I realized that using key remapping software in an online game could be seen as hacking or cheating. I took a quick look through the...

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm trying the full version of Miencraft and I'm hating it
I loved the lego feeling minecraft alpha has.
InDev Minecraft... it's just a different game.
Hearts? No inventory? Blocks take time to be destroyed?
Fail :(
I guess having pigs roam around is kind of cute
the snow may be a nice touch
but really, that's icing on the cake and the cake has radically changed.

Q: Halo Reach Credits custom games

TrickyM66I was at a LAN party at one of my friends house last night where we played 50+ custom game matches. Mainly Infection. After every matches was over, me and only one of my other buddies got only 50 or less credits. While the other 7 people in the group got 100 - 1000 credits every match. I was top ...

Q: How do you keep slower units moving behind faster units while keeping them from getting separated?

Davy8This especially comes into play for me with roach/hydra and to a lesser extent with ling/roach. I want my roaches in front of the hydras to absorb damage, but since roaches (with speed) are faster than hydras they just get separated unless I spending some time microing their movement. With zlot...

Q: What settings do I need to get the outmatched achievements on Starcraft 2?

RupertThis is not a tactics question. I choose the "Versus A.I." option from the main screen and then a custom on Megaton vs 2 Medium A.I. However, after beating them, I don't get the achievement. What are the correct settings I need to get these outmatched achievements? Do they need to be played on ...

 
@badp It's a very different game. Even the official names for the modes spell it out: Creative Mode is for Creating things.
Survival Mode is about surviving.
Survival Mode is a much more fun game though - the fundamental gameplay of dig, explore, build, is still there, but now there is an element of danger to the whole affair
because Creepers manage to make any trip into someplace dark, or even any night outside away from a shelter a truly horrific experience. And an amazing one.
Thing about Minecraft is it actually manages to be scary.

Q: How to beat Mission 17 in Uniwar?

Q: Which unit to build first?

DrakeWhich first unit to build in Civilization IV immediately at the beginning? Go for Settler always, or it depends?

Q: So what's with Falco anyway?

LitsoI've been playing Starfox 64 again recently, and one thing keeps bugging me: Why is Falco such a pain in the ass? In the first level it starts with some cocky (how fitting) remarks about how swell it is that I saved him, and he keeps this up until the end of the game, where he finally admits Fox...

why build a house out of logs? Normal ground is so easy to use instead :P
Sure it's probably a bit more humid but...
 
6:58 PM
I definitely prefer Alpha to InfDev
It's just a much more complete experience
 
Alpha would be nicer with a few additions. Weather could be a nice addition and floods an harmless annoyance.
The tnt harmless blocks are kinda silly
However, inf dev's water behaviour also is quite weird...
it floods diagonally.

@alexanderpas Well you should, because Minecraft is free this weekend!

gog.com is dead. :( Noooooooooooo.

but they provide a reponsible ending: "this week we'll put in place a solution to allow everyone to re-download their games."
 
we're getting rolled over nicely as usual :D
 
@alexanderpas Yeah, but there were a few things I was waiting for another paycheck to buy. :(
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz a problem even more common in retail.
 
@alexanderpas Yes and no. Retail stores don't tend to drop the shutter on a moments notice with no warning a few days after announcing several weeks of forward looking product
 
7:56 PM
@LessPop: lol APB
Just heard about GoG, sucks. :( Glad to hear they're gonna have a way to let people redownload though.
 
@FallenAngelEyes If you didn't know APB was going to be shutting down sooner than later, you were living in a fucking cave.
 
meant more the irony of their frontpage announcements
Did they ever fix the vehicle lag?
I played in beta and ohgoditwashorrible
 
Personally, I'm curious what's going on with CD Projekt as a whole.
Supposedly they cut off two of their studios recently too
and now GoG.
 
out of money?
 
Wonder what that means for The Witcher 2, which was supposed to be their big AAA, "hey, we can play with the big guys" title.
ahahahahahahahahaha neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=23418875&postcount=240 oh god if this is true this is the dumbest stunt ever.
 
8:03 PM
oh CD Projekt did GoG?
didn't know that :o
(never bought anything there)
 
yup, crazy polacks.
 
Dear GOG users, [...] we've decided that GOG.com simply cannot remain in its current form. (beta, red.) [...]

We're very grateful for all support we've received from all of you in the past two years. Working on GOG.com (beta, red.) was a great adventure for all of us and an unforgettable journey to the past, through the long and wonderful history of PC gaming.

This doesn't mean the idea behind GOG.com is gone forever. We're closing down the (beta, red.) service and putting this era behind us as new challenges await.
@alexanderpas quote-mining FTW!
 
Oh god, Blizzard have built Plants Vs. Zombies into WoW now.

VVVVVV is a game I want the music of rather badly.
 
8:16 PM
@badp Pretty sure it's availiable
let me dig around
 
let me check if it's is the game files already
 
that's the website of the artist that made the soundtrack, he sells it, and his other stuff
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz PPPPPP
 
nice.
 
"A Megaman beside the link means that the song is fastpaced and melodic! "
 
8:20 PM
It's funny, the Steam gameplay video has longer previews than the author's :)
 
Oh, btw, @badp have you checked out Minecraft multiplayer at all?
same gameplay, but with other people, so you can join a world in which someone has already built a 20 story tall duck or a battleship or a roller coaster.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Alpha multiplayer is annoying
You build, others destroy then build their own thing.
I'm not sure how indev multiplayer can be any different :)
 
@badp Need to find a good server.
Admittedly, this weekend, that's difficult because OMG FREE WEEKEND SMASH EVERYTHING
 
gaming.se server?
 
@alexanderpas We should start one.
I mainly futz around on goon servers and admire other peoples handiwork.
I don't build much in Minecraft. I tend to dig and play it like a wierd survival horror game.
 
8:30 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz There's youtube for that :)
 
I'm going on vacation in 12 hours...
 
Oh, building is all I (can) do :)
@alexanderpas Grats, Alex!
 
@badp I just don't have the patience for construction.
 
We'll make sure you don't find a chosen domain name by the time you come back!
@Less, sure, if you first have to go mining for your construction blocks it's going to take 200 more times
 
minecraft night is annoying... can't see a thing...
 
8:31 PM
↑ Minecraft as far as I'm concerned
 
@badp Not really, because nine times out of ten, you're building with wood, gravel, stone or sand, which you can stripmine off the surface.
 
(I completed the red street in the meantime, now it runs a large loop all over the world.)
 
only need to dig if you want Iron/Diamond/Redstone. Which you should only really need for tools/flourishes.
 
Now I need to do a green road and plan out interconnections and stuff.
Because I've already put signals that lead to this nonexisting green road.
>.<
 
@alexanderpas Well yeah, but that's kind of the point. Minecraft night is annoying, but it's also unspeakably terrifying
 
8:33 PM
The crafting process looked kind of interesting, I'm just not sure how exactly you're supposed to get starting
 
minecraft wiki is down.
 
By roaming around I found a bunch of plants, by digging I found a couple of... bones things? And by killing a zombie I found an, err, pointy implement.
That was all..
(Yes, the red underwater tunnel is actually a tunnel, sponges are kind of ridicolous)
 
@alexanderpas Which one? Minepedia? or the other
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz minepedia.
 
@badp Crafting is pretty intuitive once you understand the basics.
 
8:36 PM
oh, so "WHAT THE SHIT" is actually a sound effect
 
@alexanderpas Minepedia is up for me.
 
This one beats that :)
 
@badp same person. :)
 
Yeah, but -- how did he know both times where and when to turn?
 
Creepers are the worst thing
@badp Creepers make a slithering sound when they get close.
 
8:38 PM
I couldn't hear it either times
 
It's really quiet. The music being dubbed in is enough to drown it out
 
...and I'd be really pissed off with that much inventory, full hearts and half armour to be oneshot like that.
 
@badp That's what Creepers do. That's why keeping your caves well lit is so incredibly important.
And it's also why you keep all of your important valuables that you don't need stored safely in a box aboveground.
 
define: well lit.
 
bah, as if there were way to easily heal
@alexanderpas with a raytraced mirror ahead of you
 
8:40 PM
@alexanderpas Monsters only spawn on tiles in total darkness. If every tile is lit by a torch, a monster will not spawn.
@badp There is. Kill Pig, Cook meat, Feast upon delicious bacon.
Or you can make Mushroom stew.
or farm.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, that's wha-- oh right, cooking.
That's why that thing was pointless
 
@badp Cooking: Build furnace. Insert flammable substance (wood, coal, etc.). Insert thing you want to heat. Enjoy bacon.
 
lol, "build fornace" ;)
 
@badp Furnace is a simple crafting recipe. 8 stone in a circle pattern.
 
first obviously you have to unlock 3x3 crafting :)
 
8:42 PM
Which again is simple. Build a crafting table with 2 wood.
erm, 2 lumber, which in turn are made with 2 wood.
 
Oh well, let's give it another shot.
is the world actually finite, btw?
 
@badp It is 8 times the size of earth.
But it is finite.
Short Getting Started in Minecraft Guide:
Step 1) Punch trees until you have a decent supply of wood. Build crafting table, many sticks.
Step 2) Use crafting table to make Wooden Pickaxe, harvest stone, gravel, coal.
Step 3) Make many many torches, stone pickaxe, stone shovel, stone sword. Dig for iron. ALWAYS KEEP TORCHES ALONG YOUR MINE.
Once you have Iron, you should track down enough Diamond for a Diamond Sword and other tools which can basically last forever, some redstone for a compass, and then just harvest what you need to build what you want.
 
I found out the stick recipe
 
Sticks are important.
 
needs to be in an GSE Q&A!
 
8:48 PM
But in general, you can carry more by hauling raw 'tree' rather than refining it into wood/sticks until you actually need wood/sticks.
@alexanderpas If someone writes up a question, I will write up an answer with more detail, but not until I am at home and have an hour or two to do it.
Minepedia.net is a much better resource than the official wiki btw
with the one exception that I like the crafting page on the official wiki a bit more (but it's down), because it has nifty animated gif's showing all the different materials that can be used in various recipes
 
9:04 PM
what's the thing that whispers "burn" instead? :)
night surprised me before I could find any iron. I have 40 gravel though.
 
@badp Find someplace to hole up and keep some torches lit around you
and I think you mean Zombies maybe?
 
Need coal. :)
oh, nice, they even have weapons
ranged weapons.
 
@badp Yep. You need to kill a spider though, which can be a pain early on.
 
by "they", I meant the baddies.
 
Oh, skeletons.
You can make a bow for yourself too, once you get some string.
 
9:09 PM
for now some coal will make me happy
what's the name of the useless block type that takes a while to break and gives nothing?
another coalless night
 
@badp what kind of pick are you using?
Wooden picks can only break basic stone, gravel, sand, and dirt. You need to make at least a stone pick to be able to get coal, iron, and other higher end stuff.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz None currently.
 
that's why you're getting nothing
you need to use a wooden pick to break stone
 
oh, that's it? I'll begin crafting then.
 
you can break it by hand, but you won't get stone blocks
Getting a stone pick is a big milestone for that reason.
 
9:26 PM
hrm, if I break the crafting table do I get it back in my inventory?
 
@badp Yes, but use your wooden pick.
or better
alternately, just make more crafting tables, they use next to no resources and it's nice to just have them lying around.
 
right now it'd be nice to just have flint :)
although I have made a furnace
(and it's still pitch black)
me closes the area he was mining from
 
coal+stick = light
 
yes, but I need to find coal first.
thus I need to find coal ore first.
and apparently it's underground.
 
stripmine.
 
9:33 PM
In other news it's day again \o/
 
You can find coal above ground
look for cliff faces
it's definitely more common in caves, but you can absolutely find coal aboveground too.
 
heh, I was about to say I just survived my first night
 
I store my stuff in my large chest.
 
Okay, I think I'll give up to watching the game played instead =D
 
10:24 PM
Question
If you glanced at the following:
what would you say is the winning team there?
 
@badp PK
 
thanks
nite
back!
So the domain thread is so bad it's not even funny
 
Some of the suggestions are shockingly bad
pwnpwn.com?
I mean really?
 
I downvoted all options in the new thread.
 
I mean, we can't stick with one top proposal for 12 hrs straight
I think it's time for somebody to make an executive call
 
10:36 PM
All I know is pauseforhelp is terrible
 
but the princess is available
 
and finally bestow 8bitlavapwniesbossoverloadstage.com
onto our unworthygroup
@alex that's just a good as doing nothing
we need a solution not downvotes
propose or vote something up
 
I changed my downvote on boss-level to an upvote earlier today
in light of all the stuff against Stage Six/Seven
 
@Mana I changed mine now that it's been split up and I'm not also voting for onemoreboss which is fucking horrible
 
wooooah
chill bro
we just gotta relax and smoke weed ery day
that's all there is to life.
 
10:43 PM
@Mana I'm quite chill. I guess my casual tendency to use the f-bomb as an intensifier doesn't come across quite so casual in chat.
 
overgame.com
Well, I wasn't being serious myself.
 
question, is bosslevel.com taken?
 
Yup, except for .org
 
and if so is it about gaming?
 
Yeah
it's a gaming clan
but
as far as I can tell the site is old/not being used
 
10:48 PM
they claim trademark on the name, can we doublecheck on that?
 
I checked, it's not listed in the U.S. trademark and patent DB
and the guy who registered the site and who probably keeps it around is in the U.S.
BAM!
but
I'm not sure it's worth "forcing" them out of that domain just to, you know, open it up as a choice.
although I guess we like bosslevel
 
it's a UK company apparently, but the uk patent office denies that trademark exists as far as I can see
 
it's just a bunch of kids with a crappy website
 
so I guess I will not issue a warning against the entry
 
MassiveDamage.com?
damn, .com is taken
LimitBreak checks takeeeeeen
 
10:56 PM
weakspot.com may be for sale.
 
too generic
 
@badp hittheweakspotformassivedamage.com is free. ;)
 
ugh, I like www.massivedamage.com
too bad it's taken
 
starry sky, standing on a box, just need coal.
 
keyboardheroes?
 
11:00 PM
controllerheroes?
 
@alex, good luck with that
couldn't find a single block of the darn thing
 
previous three games were lucky i think.
