Hmm, what do you think the chances are that Gearbox will pick April 1 as the release date for DNF? It'd be rather appropriate.

et il est une boisson(?) en America.
meh, high school french doesn't go very far
 
Oui, boisson
But it's named after the region in France.
As such, it should be pronounced Frenchly.
 
however, it is not
in English, should be and are, are often not the same

Q: What exactly are the bonuses the AI gets at each difficulty level in civ5?

Neal TibrewalaIn Civilization 5, the game states that the AI gets significant bonuses to their play at the higher difficulty levels. I have been unable to find what exactly those bonuses are. I have heard rumors that on Deity, for example, the AI starts with 3 settlers, 6 warriors, and doesn't have a happine...

Q: How many soul points do I get for surviving in die2nite?

NickMy best town so far in die2nite seems like it will come to an end with day 9. How many soul points will I get when I've died? Does it only count for days survived or will I get extra points for doing special stuff (like doing heroic actions, eating a cat, etc)?

Q: Early-Mid 90's Taxi themed puzzler

The HammerThe game I'm thinking of is from the early to mid 1990's. At its basis it was a Fifteen Puzzle, combined with a bit of maze. Instead of numbers, each tile had a road-path on it. The idea was to arrange the tiles so that the road-path formed a continuous line from the start to the finish. The ...

Q: Can I use PS3 controllers on a PS2

pauldooIs there a way to use a Playstation 3 controller with a Playstation 2? (Perhaps with a wireless dongle plugged into the front of the PS2..) Our PS2 controllers are getting knackered, and I'm loathed to replace them if there is a way to use our PS3 controllers instead.

Is it acceptable to ask questions about the policies of gaming community providers?
For example, what sort of thing is allowed on the town forums of Die2Nite, and what isn't?
 
@GnomeSlice That sounds like a perfectly useful question
 
I ask because we've had some tentative information come up in my town.
 
Seeing as, specifically in the case of Die2Nite, the forums are such an intrinsic part of the game.
 
Links to wikis, walkthroughs or spoils for other language versions will be deleted and could result in bans. Which could be problematic, because we have the translated french wiki linked in our communal "Important Links" thread.
 
6:55 PM
Eh... if it becomes more of an issue I'll ask.

Q: Transfer video files from xbox 360 and record game footage on xbox 360

HarpalI have game footage in Halo reach that I have saved on my console. How can I transfer the videos from my xbox to my PC for further editing? My second question is, how can I record gameplay footage as I am playing it? For example if I was playing Modern Warfare 2 how can I record the live footage?

 
I feel so rebellious using iDEAL to pay for a game of €1. That gives Valve a 100% fee.

You know you can change the link text, right?

@ArdaXi Evidently not.
 
7:02 PM
err
 
Har har.
 
@less in practice in town forums everything goes... So long as somebody doesn't click 'report', I guess. It didn't happen in our town, but it could've I guess.
 
I clicked expecting images and was very disappointed :/
 
Honestly I've always thought no-linking policies to be kind of retarded on the internet.

Aww, Steam didn't post any good deals for my birthday :(
 
aww.

Well happy 16th Arda.
Enjoy being stupidly young.
 
In 4 hours ;-)
And how is 16 stupidly young?
 
7:05 PM
still a few hours to go amirite?
 
@Mana > Because we're so old.
 
I've about 2 years to go. Then I'll start feeling old.
 
@Gnome shut up I feel old when people who are younger than me act older than me :(
 
@arda in a few years it'll be legal for you to drink alcoholic stuff!
 
@badp It already is. In 4 hours, anyway.
 
7:06 PM
or if you're like me it'll be legal but you just don't bother to try
argh timezones
 
If you're like me you don't care because you never buy it yourself.
 
@Mana I really don't see the appeal anyway.
 
@Gnome same
 
@badp I prefer Italy's laws in that regard.
 
I just see people being stupid when they're drunk.
 
7:07 PM
well - in Italy anyway.
 
There's a difference between drinking and getting drunk, of course.

oh
yeah I guess there is a difference
 
How do you change link text?
 
Surround text in square brackets, followed by link in parentheses

@Gnomes, I'm not sure why this is so hard for you. You put the text in square brackets first and then the parentheses.

The ones I am using now are good and reliable, however I am always defeated by the god king. It seems as though your controls ...

 
Massacring the deathless god question. A lot of it is completely irrelevant to the actual question.
 
I love it when they take you through their entire train of thought.
I wonder what those people are thinking. They just ramble on and on. That reminds me of the time I was so deep in thought I didn't even notice being almost killed by that one boss in some old Nintendo game. I almost managed to kill him. I guess my question is... what happens when you die in Die2Nite?
