Ben There Dan That and Time Gentlemen Please are (annoyingly slow) point and click games à la "apply FIRE on GAME". I guess the appeal is to be found in the humour, but the text is really hard to read. I've seen actually retro games with much better typography.
Summary of @badp's thoughts on all the games. I haven't tried them all yet.
Is there a way to use arrow keys to look around and control direction (instead of the mouse).
The mouse in Skyrim is quite messed up. I tweaked it to be more responsive (because the default settings are horrible). But now the screen jitters as I move around (cause my mouse movements are not to...
@RedriderX Tell me about it. My parents are still on dialup and whenever I visit, I'm stuck with it too. I currently have 120Mbit down, so it's quite the difference.
In Eve, one can accumulate large amounts of loyalty points by running missions for various npc corporations. These loyalty points combined with cash and sometimes other items can produce expensive faction or corporation-specific items.
Sometimes I've considered "cashing out" the loyalty points ...
Taking off a couple dozen murderous kamikaze heads with nothing but 70 health and the basic pistol sure is not a fight you can just expect to win without putting some brain into it
At the end of the Murderbrawl XXXI mission, you can either choose to take Killbane's mask, which allows you to acquire his mask to wear, or he will tell you the "secret of the Apoca-fists."
If I choose to take his mask, does this completely lock me out of the Apoca-fists on that save? Or will I...
@RonanForman If you can wait until Thursday, I've got a new version of the splash screen with sound in it, but I won't be able to upload it until I'm at school.
I am deciding whether to get married or not and would like to no if all spouse`s open a shop or is it only those who are a merchant when you attempt to marry them? and are there any people who get more money per day or have more items in there shop?
We've released a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2. The notes for the update are below.
Team Fortress 2 - Added the Dr. Whoa bowtie - Added a new taunt for the Heavy when he's wearing the FrankenHeavy set - WebAPI changes: - Fixed contained_item not always displaying in the web api results - Added a new API (IEconAssets_440/GetAssetPrices/v0001) for getting item prices - Fixed set bonuses activating outside of the proper holiday for holiday restricted items - Fixed the Loch-n-Load death notice icon not being displayed correctly
So, they added a Heavy taunt for the Halloween set, despite Halloween being past already
I got so fed up with my low carry rate that I modified it via the console. Now the next zone I enter, I get a block-like drawing error on the loading screen. Then I notice a few more little quirks that I've never seen shortly thereafter.
Are there known side effects to using the console?
In Skyrim, you can sleep or wait for up to a day at a time. Is there any negative consequences to wasting time like this? Do certain quests expire or certain conditions happen after several days (or even weeks) have passed that can be considered negative?
Obviously temporary buffs expire, but th...
One of the things I enjoy about the Saints Row series is the side activities: Insurance Fraud and that kind of thing. I'd like to play more of them, but right now I only have activities unlocked in one area, the central Morning Star-controlled area. (Nine of sixteen are currently unlocked.) The o...
More than once, I've seen it mentioned that followers can be taught new spells by commanding them to interact with a spellbook. I've tried teaching a few spells to ol' Lydders, but she simply picks the books up and places them in her inventory.
What am I doing wrong?
After freeing the Dremora in the Dark Midden Under the Winterhold College I was given a vague map of where the Dremora's treasure was located. (Somewhere near Winterhold) After searching near the landmarks shown on the map, I still can't find the right spot where the treasure is hidden. Can someo...
In Snoopy's Street Fair, there is a quest where you have to obtain 4 garden ornaments.
What counts as a garden ornament? I apparently have 1 (the quest is 25% complete), but I have a lot of scenery objects, so I am not sure which one it is.
I know that it isn't lawnmowers or tricycles or the ...
The Wikipedia on Tyrian says:
It is possible to switch between the Single Player and (1 person) Arcade modes using a secret routine (not cheat codes). Since it is possible to find exotic weapons early in Arcade Mode (by contrast in Single Player, such weapons can only be bought at the end), u...
@GnomeSlice You really really tempt me to respond with "No, we don't do Canadian dollarydoos here, I'm afraid we can't reimburse you", but, no, it isn't a problem.
No more edits on the post about that music note. No re-adding it now that I've finally got it off, no removing it again if someone is stupid enough to actually re-add it after I just told all y'all to stop re-adding it.
@GnomeSlice Seeing this as the result of a 19 revisions long edit war on a note sign makes me think there is something real wrong that needs correction, perhaps through slapping
...especially on a post where we try to tell Jeff, "it's okay, we can take care of ourselves." Now, I can understand if Raven got mad at the initial picture (which he kinda did)
Well, see to it that you don't do it now by rolling back
I'm glad you're trying to make the point that you don't need a 25 character limit to prevent people from making moronic tags, but that's not really helping...
Seems the interwebs is a small place after all. Mark Trapp was mentioned in an editorial on CNN: "Jobs consoled another AT&T customer, Mark Trapp, who expressed his frustration over his cell carrier's plans to discontinue unlimited data plans."
Just wondering if anyone has found a cave with a lot of Frostbite spiders in it they seem to be the best way to get petty soul gems atm i have found Crovangr Cave are there any others?
Look at this dynamite stick. Tauntingly blinking red (not pictured). Placed on this appropriately cracked wall. Annoyingly not impressed by my attempts to activate it. Not even hitting it with the sledgehammer gets it going.
How can I activate pre-placed dynamite?
@Wipqozn @GnomeSlice 30 revisions?! You guys couldn't have worked it out in chat? Now @GraceNote locked the post and I can't even show my support for it.... :'(
I've activated two of the three generators to power the machine that opens the entrance to the Lanayru Mining Co.
However, I can't figure out how to get to the generator at the end of Stone Cache.
There's a large area of sand too far for me to run across, and after I timeshift, there's just a b...
In Game i found two treasure map. but I can't understand what/where show to me?
So in this case T-M split into 2 part( top and bottom ). can anyone describe what is these part? any advise!
After (what is currently) the latest Steam patch, Skyrim refuses to start.
Steam just sits there forever with a "preparing to launch" dialog up, and part of the latest patch was removing the ability to launch Skyrim directly so that option is out.
Are there any workarounds for this issue?
I got a XBOX 360 console and connected it to LCD display with HDMI cable (& XBOX HDMI converter). My LCD display does not have built in speakers,
So I need to connect XBOX to subwoofer. but the problem is when I connect the HDMI converter to consol audio cable output jack is coverd with the ...
@GraceNote The plug pulling date for Wave's officially and finally been set
Google Wave will become read-only on January 31 and it will be closed 3 months later. The Gears-based offline mode will no longer work in Google Calendar and Gmail starting from next month, so if you're still using an old version of Firefox or Internet Explorer for this feature, you'll have to switch to Chrome.
Alright so I'm a noob at computers, I need some help with one I'm planning to get.
There is a website, http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/ that allows you to configure computers and save the link to the configuration, which you can share the link here.
My budget is $2000 before taxes.
I plan on u...
After experiencing difficulties with a stuck loading screen in Skyrim, I had to force my ps3 to shut down. Thankfully my saved file wasn't completely screwed up in the process. But after I loaded my save game, I travelled to Whiterun to get some ingredients from Arcadia. Once I interacted with he...
The first extra that you can unlock is called Comedy Specs. However, turning on this extra does not appear to make any changes to the game. What does this extra actually do?
Free edition:
Play the first five missions of the epic single-player campaign and
wage unrelenting war on your friends.
Does it really mean it includes multiplayer? Are there any limitations? Is the only thing you get from buying the full game is the rest of the campaign?
I'm thinking of buying an extra copy for a friend, with the Black Friday 50% sale. Problem is, the sale is only valid in the US, not EU.
If I buy the US version, would I be able to convert it to the EU?
Is there a way to create and store a function in skyrim for future use? I don't like having to re-enter codes all the time of what I commonly use, so I'd rather I be able to just call a function like function items() and it it activates something like
function items() {
player.additem xxxxxx;

I used to play minecraft around a year ago. A lot of versions have been released since and recently minecraft got out of beta. What are the main improvements and changes in the way the game has to be played ?
I have hear of experience, the 'adventure release' but I don't know much. PLease enlight...
Two quick questions about skyrim:
Can I continue to play I've completed the main quest? I'm pretty sure thats a yes.
Will something significant have changed after the main quest is done, so that I should do my exploring first. Like in oblivion a city was destroyed pretty early and then the gat...
@ArdaXi The answer to that is "Damn near always. For every non-trivial problem, there are basically two kinds of solutions: the simple one and the correct one."
Can someone explain what spells/other effects mean when they have a max level requirement. For example (taken from wiki): "Illusion: Mayhem - Creatures and people up to Lv25 will attack anyone nearby for 60s."
As I understand this is a Master level spell (50+). I've also tried digging on how mo...
I've installed Winning Eleven 9 (Pro Evolution Soccer 5) in my computer, but after I installed it, there is no back sound and commentator when I play it. Is there any missing file on my game? If so, what file is it?
I'm playing Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos and I'm trying to figure out how the monster respawning works.
So far, I have Googled and not really found much to support what I think I've found as I've been playing. Basically, to me it seems that it depends on which area you are in and I think there...
While I'm very very glad to see Jeff apologized for not consulting the community first, I'm confused at his decision to use saints-row-the-third as his example question stating that we don't need sub-tags when a game only has 24 questions, when we have 600+ Skyrim questions sitting there.

When a really far away city state ask me to build a road to join our two cities, is this a bug or there is a way to do it ?
