@fredley Eh, it'd be a point off to get pedantic.
@BenBrocka VTM:B? No, not DLC, but there is a community patch that makes it actually playable and restores some cut content. And a mod scene which is fairly active for a decade old game
VTM:B with the community patch is among the greatest crpgs ever released.

Q: Arqade's 2012 Doomsday Edition White Elephant Secret Santa Gift Giving Time (A2DEWESSGGT)

Q: Does crouching decrease spread?

I'd really like some more substantial changes than increasing the tag limit, but I don't expect SE to do any of that in the near future. We really should have a "Games" tab instead of a tag tab on the main site. Games are the fundamental element the site is ordered around.

@Fluttershy idk. ACIII Liberation is the only shorted form I found. At the very least it needs at least two tag synonyms: 1) so it comes up when someone types "ass…" and 2) it's also sold under "Assassin's Creed III: Lady Liberty" if the wikipedia is anything to go by

@BenBrocka That is why I carry the shotgun

@SaintWacko SHock was a joke in BL1 and did slightly reduced damage to flesh and metal. Now it's meh, and does normal damage to flesh and metal. But since few things have beefy shields, the damage boost from shock is minimal

Have fun! Explore the area around where you start and collect resources and items. Collecting different resources lets you craft useful tools and build more advanced structures and vehicles.

If you explore more of the map, you may come across areas where you can find special items. Try exploring the edges of the map, or building a fire next to something flammable.

It may be possible to find your way out of the wilderness.

I am debating backing that one already @InvaderSkoodge, I am just not sure at what level for what reward.

I'm going to watch some Populous gameplay before I back anything.
I have never played it, and it's a big part of their pitch.

@InvaderSkoodge Was a lot of fun way back in the day.. but think of Black and White w/o the pet.

I did play B&W. I couldn't really get into it.
@fbueckert What?

@InvaderSkoodge Molyneux has a habit of overpromising and underdelivering.
ie. Fable. B&W2. Etc.

Q: How can I change the language in Sins of a Solar Empire?

alnorth29I've been given an Italian copy of Sins of a Solar Empire on DVD. The cut scenes are in English, but all the menus are in Italian. I can't find an obvious menu option for changing the language. Is it possible to change it? If so, how?

Q: Where can I find more Grindcore Minks?

KatieKI have access to all Chapters and all Days, even "Secret". Where can I find more Grindcore Minks (aka Noise No 22) to fill out my Noise dairy?

@InvaderSkoodge Except 20 years earlier.
Hell, even the first 3D version of Populous was out before the first Black and White. Also, Populous doesn't have the shitty "make gestures with your mouse to cast spells!" mechanic.
 
Invader Skoodge
Invader Skoodge
Oh yeah I forgot about that atrocious thing.
I didn't play Black and White for very long because it was unbearably slow.
 
Powerlord

@InvaderSkoodge That and... gestures to cast spells that the game didn't seem to pick up if you were even a pixel or two off.
Sorry Lionhead, I don't have rulers to put on my mousepad to make it so I can do it exactly how you want.
@Krazer: Does Zero Escape have more "To Be Continued..." endings than 999 did?
I hit my first one already.
At least the Flow system makes it easier to go back and Betray... er... I mean take new branches.
Oh yeah, looking at the sidebar, Steam sale started, didn't it?

Q: What are snares?

UllallullooIn Make No Wonder, boughs say that they can be used to make snares, but I can't figure out how. I've tried getting a bunch of boughes, wood, birch, and charcoal, since those seem to be the only things without all of their uses listed, but nothing new to craft shows up. What are snares?

Q: My spore game keeps freezing at the homepage PLEASE HELP!

katAnyway I have had spore for a few days now and it works fine. Every time I launch it it always asks if you want the new update. I usually click update but one day I accidentally clicked no. So now when I launch it it goes through the loading screen and then freezes once it gets to the screen that...

Q: How far do ziplines go?

UllallullooIn Make No Wonder, ziplines say they let you connect to nearby platforms. How nearby do they need to be?

@fbueckert Oh. It's another game in the sale.
I see the Darksiders 2 DLC is on sale along with Darksiders 2,.

It wasn't during its daily sale last week.

Also, wtf is with Darksiders 2 "Add all DLC to cart" having both its Season Pass and Abyssal Forge DLC added to the cart since Season Pass includes Abyssal Forge?

@Powerlord You'll get a lot of them until you've completed all the paths that lead to the actual endings...

@Krazer Ah, OK... I asked because the original game only had the one.

@Powerlord The 'to be continued' is not what you think though. It means you're missing something from the other paths...
 
Powerlord
Powerlord
@Krazer I'm aware of that... having played 999.
Since you could only get Ending A if you completed Ending... D? first. Otherwise, you got Ending B (which is a "To Be Continued..." screen)
Hey, anyone here know if Darksiders 2: The Lord Demon Belial is sold as DLC under a different name? I want to make sure I don't buy it twice like I almost did for Abyssal Forge
