So. I'm now totally messing with the minds of the NPCs in Deus Ex.
Hacked into an apartment, only to find that there's nothing interesting in there. Then I noticed the fridge was lootable. Only when I tried it, turned out it was actually just something I could pick up with my new strength enhancement.
Now, some poor NPC family is going to come home and discover that some dude broke in, took nothing, and moved the fridge into the living room.
I'm starting a clay pot farm in Terraria with a modest two pots. One's got daybloom, the other moonglow. I didn't see any information that suggested they had to be offscreen to bloom, so I put my pots in my main base. It's been 5 or 6 days since I planted them, and they're still just little green...
I'm a new Minecrafter and was wondering if new updates are backwards compatible. Will the new "Adventure Update" features (Beta 1.8) appear in existing worlds created with Beta 1.7 and earlier? Or will I need to create a new world for this version?
In Detroit, there is a storage area behind a level 5 security lock. Inside is a set of lasers guarding what looks like a bunch of stuff. If I trigger the lasers, it sets off a deadly gas that will kill me within a few seconds. How do I get past this part?
Oh man, my terrible pizza has been 'Checked for Delicousness' by Nick at 8:15:21 PM. I kind of wonder how it passed such a check, knowing where it's from.
Does anyone know if You Don't Know Jack for Xbox 360 will work with the Big Button Pad controllers used with the Scene It? games?
Aside: Could someone with a high rep add "scene-it" to the tags for this question?
In Football Manager 2011, I get a monthly report from my assistant coach on how well (or not well) some of my players have trained in the past month.
What should I do with that? If a player failed to improve in training, should I increase their training load? Change their focus? Something else?
Well, it's not something I'm using. I'm browsing through my Steam folder, and I found a bunch of game music in .ogg, so I'm wondering how to play them.
I have Diablo 2 installed on my old gaming PC, and was looking to install it on my new gaming rig. The problem I have is that while I have the install discs and things, I cannot for the life of me find the CD Key.
Is there a way to figure out what the key on the old PC is so I can copy it and...
Made from draining the IJsselmeer, the big lake in the middle of the NL
I went to the Maeslantkering, the big storm surge barrier thing, last year, and there was a small museum next to it detailing its construction and a bunch of the Zuiderzee waterworks. It was really quite impressive to read about.
Deus Ex: HR is insane. I just discovered a massive new area in the first central hub by stacking up some barrels so that I just barely climb up on them.
Admittedly, this was probably more of a backdoor entrance since I got an EXP bonus for it, and I'm pretty sure there was probably a more direct entrance laying around...but still really neat.
I picked this up because I've always enjoyed dialogue in RPGs. However, I can't really be sure that I'm making effective use of it. Most times, the conversation will plod along until I can activate pheromones, and the person I'm talking to gives in. But I'm a bit baffled as to the more subtle asp...
Is it possible that the AI in Starcraft 2 is learning from previous games?
If it's true, is there any way to 'reset' AI's algorithm?
I have a strange feeling that the AI in 'Left 2 Die' (official mod) on brutal difficulty somehow 'adapts' to my gameplay and is getting even more difficult after e...
In a multiplayer hotseat game, I noticed that I'm somehow getting less money than I should be. I believe ended a turn with X amount of gold, with a Town Hall already built a few days ago.
Next day, I had X+500 gold instead of X+1000. In another players' turn, just walking around the map seemed t...
I'm trying to make a beacon/lighthouse which is visible from a distance at night (on far render). What is the best light source which will provide the brightest light / most visible to the human eye.

(though realistically, she lives in the neighborhood where people surrounding her are being evacuated to, so she doesn't have that much to worry about.)
@GraceNote she lives in a 4th story walkup, not a flimsy house. The main thing freaking her out is the potential of a prolonged power outage.
@GraceNote Hurricane != Tornado. More to the point, this is only a Cat 1, so wind isn't really the danger in this storm anyway. It's more the absolutely absurd amounts of water that are going to fall out of the sky.
(Some places are being forecast for nearly two feet of rain.)
@GraceNote Current NWS estimates have it hitting NY as a Tropical Storm at ~65% chance, 25% chance of it being a Cat 1, 10% chance of it being a Cat 2.
@GraceNote The thing that's remarkable about Irene isn't the force or speed of the winds - it's the absolutely mammoth size of the system and it's storm surge on coastal areas.
I was trying to port forward my minecraft server, using port 25566, and for some reason it wasn't working. So, I opened minecraft to enter localhost, and after clicking login, the window closed and placed an error log report on my desktop. The same thing happens with all subsequent tries. Here is...
I was taking 2 language classes at once, which was rare for my HS, French and Spanish, so those were big motivators
Essentially, in 11th grade, I was taking 3 at once, because I took Spanish II, French III and French IV at the same time in 11th. Did Spanish III and Spanish IV at the same time in 12th.
There wasn't going to be enough people in my grade who wanted to take French IV by the time I'd be a senior, so they weren't going to offer it. So I took French III and French IV at the same time so I could still get the education.
My perfectionist complex was also bigger back then, so I wouldn't really let myself miss class.
Aside from language classes being hard to catch up on
I loved both, but my level in both of them has crashed seeing as I haven't spoken them in the past 6 years at all. :(
I still read French and Spanish poetry sometimes though :)
<3 Baudelaire and Pablo Neruda
I really wish I had an opportunity to re-use them and remember what I've forgotten :(
Also funny thing, we went through like
5 French teachers I think?
French teachers hated my class
After the first year, the regular French teacher refused to teach us again
and we had a new one every year after that
2 one year even
In 11th grade French III, we ended up with a regular substitute teacher just kinda showing us the ropes because they couldn't get another one hired
The administration was pretty horrible at our HS though. I was able to sneak in a few jabs at them in my salutatorian speech that got past the principal's approval, I was proud. :P
But yeah, I'm not an educational elitist who thinks "You have to have a degree to prove your worth" or anything, but if you enjoy university, by all means make the best of it
anywho, sorry for wall o' text :P gotta run to dinner now, laters!
As Omokoii's answer to this question suggests, you can use MC Edit to delete existing chunks in an old save so that, once 1.8 is out, those chunks will be generated anew, and they should respect the new version's additional landscape and other world-building features, like villages and the new bi...
I am a night walker level 13 i was wondering if I can get the hat? If I can, what quests do I need to do? And please explain in detail because I just started playing maple story.
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!
I also know that as a night walker its possible to get the hat without ...
Yesterday I started playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution (on PC - Steam) and F5 seemed to quick save well enough. Today I played and F5 did nothing anymore. I could save as much as I want but quick save didn't work.
Has anybody seen anything similar?
Rolled a new Undead Rogue post-Cataclysm and was surprised by the phasing and the linear progression of the story. I haven't played WoW in years and this is a nice addition IMO. Tried to roll a blood-elf and a draenei to check out if there's any of the same phasing and quests but haven't found an...
After feverishly mining my minimal 10 blocks of obsidian I made me a portal to the Nether. I thought to myself, 'Sweet, something new. This should be fun.' I wanted to jump in immediately but to be safe, I emptied my inventory of everything other than a sword, armor and a pick ax.
I got there...
My military schedule is 2 months Training and then 1 month offduty. I have the uniform option on the schedule set such that they would always be in Uniform, since I want them to have their armor on whenever a threat shows up.
There are a couple squads that are offduty, but are in the barracks d...
Honestly, while I was there, I spent most of my time with and was friends with more SUNY ESF students than SU students. They were a little more down to earth (no pun intended).
I've recently moved onto the second major hub area in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. So far, I haven't come across anyplace as safe as my apartment in Detroit. I don't feel like lugging a rocket launcher with me everywhere - is there a safe place I can stow extra gear, or can I drop it anywhere and i...
@GraceNote Popped you an email the other day with a question in it, was wondering if you had a chance to read it yet. I'm working on writing up my blog post for the last day, so I'm wondering if you had any input.
I'm aware of bukkit plugins that allow you to "combine" items into new items, like the default settings in the linked plugin lets you combine a red flower and a white wool block into a red wool block.
I would like to integrate this into my server, but with increase scaling inefficiency. So you ...
Mass Effect 2 has a parody email from Batarians in imitation of the typical poorly worded, outrageously too good to be true, "please trust me" scam emails. Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines have also been mentioned as having this. Is VM:B the earliest game to featur...
