@ThomasMcDonald You know, I'm beginning to wonder if there is one last puzzle these people are solving to get "taken by GLaDOS" and actually get to play Portal 2 now because of it.
(it also stands to reason that Valve can block games from showing up as being played)
Urgh, Steam's community section is being wonky.
Clicking the Community tab from inside Steam gives me a login page.

Q: How does one swap out spells in Puzzle Quest 2 on the iPad/iPhone?

masconejosI've been unable to figure out how to swap out spells on puzzle quest 2 for the the ipad/iphone. I've tried tapping, tapping and holding, dragging and everything else I can think of in the spells menu/listing to change them out but I've been unable to find anything that works. Does anyone have ...

Q: Is an age gate required on sites for M- or AO-rated games?

DragonLordAs given in the title, is an age gate required on sites for M- or AO-rated games? I am not sure, but it appears that the ESRB requires it. Am I correct?

 
3:32 AM
@PkaamnSSbbwcpamfwIaatnIb Oh god, age gates. Does anyone even bother with them? I just mash on the year field to something 60's-70's.

Q: Why is it that in DDO (Dungeons & Dragons Online), paralyzed characters still "move"?

Ray LinderThis has been annoying me for the past months, well since I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons Online, that paralyzed characters still move around when getting "paralyzed". Not sure if it's the game, my client installation, my connection, or God punishing me for playing so much. Anyone have a...

Q: Why are there so many game recommendation questions?

Mark TrappThe game-rec tag is the fourth most-used tag on the site, and currently has 263 questions: (virtually?) all of which are closed as game recommendations are categorically off topic. Many of these questions have 0 answers, which means they have no historical use. That's a lot of broken windows. Wh...

Q: Pokemon Move Filtering Tool

RapidaI'm sure there is a better title for this question so feel free to edit it. I'm looking for a website that lets you filter pokemon by moves. So, say I'm looking for a pokemon with the move combination False Swipe, Spore, and Leech Seed. I would enter those moves and get a list of pokemon that ca...

Q: Trying to recall the name of a PC game

Eric Muyser1) PC 2) 2D 3) Space ships 4) Online multi-player (roughly 10v10) 5) Top-down shooter 6) Good map editor 7) 2002-ish I believe it had been published by Sierra at one point, and then a different company. It had 4 colored space ships: Red, Green, Yellow, Blue. Green was circular I'm pretty sure....

Q: How to replay a League of Legends match?

DrakeI have seen some videos (on YouTube) of LoL games where the commentator analyze the match and he's able to move freely through the map. Are these video made from a streaming live game or are they made by replaying something saved locally on PC? How to save and replay a match?

Q: How do you get out of a boat in Minecraft?

MattI mean without it shooting off away from you in some direction. Maybe I'm just missing something, but every time I right click to exit a boat it seems to shoot off out into the water. I'd like to hop out on to the land next to me and have the boat stay put. I know you can build elaborate docks w...

But 50% of these reports were ignored/refused (can't see the resoluti...

Q: How to change installation region

So, at this rate... we may get Portal 2 a whole 10 hours early! :P
I do find this fairly amusing - not only going to wind being only released several hours early (Instead of a day or more), but half the world will be at work or school anyways... so it won't even matter.

12:42 PM
@Wipqozn 8 is more likely
That said, "a day or more" is the result of fairly naive predictions
 
@failbadp yeah , I agree. A buddy and I have been just getting a chuckle over the predictions it would have been released early saturday
 
1:14 PM
reddit.com/r/Portal/comments/gsar3/… ← this is why GLADOS@home isn't giving out big "prizes"
 
@failbadp don't want stores breaking the release date ? or want it to become available only when people could get it off steam anyways ?

Q: What are the limitations on catching pokemon in the Pokemon Dream World?

StrixVariaI used the Pokemon Global Link website for the first time the other day, and I left with a few of my questions about how it works answered but with many more new ones. I can probably figure most of them out through experimentation, but there was one concern I had above all the rest. When Fennel...

 
1:51 PM
Holy crap.
Reconstructing Science from Audiosurf radio
the as-portal one
play it
So many cubes
The mind boggles
 
shuuuuuuut uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup
 
SO MANY CUBES
 
replaces badp's head with a cube
 
MOAR CUBES
 
I guess you might say it's your...permanent companion.
LAST ALERT
 
1:55 PM
replaces Mana with a cube
oh no wait. no rofl.
 
huh
 
I played that last song quite randomly, mindlessly shaking the mouse left and right
and then the song was over
and I saw I got 2nd best score at highest difficulty, and I was like maaaaan!
Then I saw it was scores filtered by Italy only, and I was like maaaan...
 
well I'm glad success reminds you of me
 
And then maaaana was like maaaan.
 
that's a given though
 
1:58 PM
Or it would've been, hadn't I replaced maaaana with a maaaanacube.
 
oh true
 
Still the maaaanacube went maaaan, so it's not that different.
 
It's okay though, manacube will never threaten to hurt you, unlike me
 
plushes the maaaanacube
 
maaaaan
it's so hard to get that flagging balance right
I used to flag most bad answers as spam, then Oak called me out on it and it got starred
then I stopped flagging them as spam and then badp called me out on it and it got starred
it's almost like
oh god
DO I ACTUALLY NEED TO THINK ABOUT MY FLAG REASONS :(
 
2:02 PM
@Mana Enough spam flags auto-delete and the owner gets -100 rep
 
@Mana That's nothing short of awesome.
 
Not liking the higher pledge rewards all that much though. I mean, it's nuts to think anybody would shell out $500 in support of a game but if they did I'd expect a hell of a lot more than a single level to design.
 
@Mana I was thinking the same thing :/
 
2:15 PM
I mean, like... look at the rewards here.
 
@Mana Now those are rewards.
 
You give $1500 to that band for their record, you get a drum kit, free access to all their live shows, a song written about you, a custom crash cymbal, a vinyl record, a t-shirt, poster, name in the liner notes...
@Wipqozn Exactly.
 
@Mana Regardless, it definitely looks like an enjoyable game to play with friends.
Would probably add it to my list of games to play when buddies are over for shannigans... along with Worms and Bomberman
 
oh man
Worms Armageddon for the PS1
so many hours spent playing that game with my friends
 
Worms Armageddon! Love that one. Probably the best game in the worms series... if not that, then worms world party
The sad thing is, they had more content and options then the latest worms games :/ They give you barely any control over the level... at least compared to armageddon and world party. I always like putting on instant death match with fast rising water.d
 
2:27 PM
Lame. I haven't played any of the Worms games since Armageddon, so I had no idea that stuff wasn't around.
 
@failbadp AWesome. I really need to start playing minecraft...
 
@badp Me and my room mate are in complete awe right now
 
I'd like to mention that Shift-2 is " for me
-1 not enough internationalization!!!
 
@failbadp At first, I thought you were referring to shift-2

I really should do more work with binary files, I'm really struggling with parsing MCRegion files.
 
So, in case anyone here hasn't seen this
And now that you have, here's something to make your day much, much better.
 
@Mana More Rebecca Black?

@Feeds 2022: HTML5 Finished.
Features: 4-Player Local Co-op
Story Mode
Baby Stealing Action
Where on earth did you find that.
 
@Mana What's with all these terrible teenage girl singers all of a sudden?

3:28 PM
I'm trying to work out when Portal 2 will actually launch, based on what will finish between now and then so I know when to get up tomorrow
 
You people are killing me.
It's just a game...
 
user30
Bbbbut.
 
user30
A half 9 start is good but it looks like we'll finish The Ball & Audiosurf before so it might be half 7.
 
I really need to get audiosurf
 
user30
It's your lucky day, I have a spare copy.
 
3:31 PM
I appreciate that, but I doubt my desktop PC would be able to run it.
Does it require good performance?

Q: How can I remember to periodically check the minimap and resources?

alertDuring the game, or battle, I always forget to look at the minimap, to spend free money or build a pylon. Maybe someone knows any application that will monitor this and will not be blacklisted by Blizzard. I don't need cheat software for which you can banned in battle.net. I need a way to increas...

 
Also: LAZERFIRE is such a great name for a made-up musical genre.
