@GnomeSlice Speed races are so much fun. Power races and Survival races are both pretty crappy.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Power race is where it's at.

Speed races get really unforgiving against AI towards the end.

StrixVaria

The main thing I like about speed races is that the AI can't randomly fuck me over.

Also it's so fast it's awesome.

@fbueckert It does and it doesn't. "its not working everything we do doesnt work" has the potential to be a real question. "we just cant get people to join please join its a s206.217.129.217:25665urvival server" is spam...

Yi Jiang

@fbueckert Well, there isn't actually much of a question there except "Something's wrong with my server. Come join me, here's the address..."

fbueckert

@YiJiang Hence why I asked him to provide more details beyond just, "Please join my server"

I've torn out everything but what might be the real question.

@YiJiang That trailer suffers from the same problem League of Legends' trailer suffered from... Making the game seem wayyyyy cooler than it actually is. <_<

Yi Jiang

@Fluttershy Hehe, it's made by cutting up the Civ IV + expansion's intro movies, which depict almost nothing of what you actually see in the game

Alec

@Fluttershy @fbueckert The goal was to be random but oddly entertaining.

Yi Jiang

That said, it's not a trailer for Civ IV. It's the music video for the song.

Fluttershy

@YiJiang Oh. Well... Still. >_> LoL trailer's the same way.

fbueckert

@Alec I'd say good effort, but I have no idea what's going on. It's hard to tell what you're going for, so what you're currently getting is: confused.

Fluttershy

4:16 AM

@Alec Well, it was certainly random. As for entertainment value, I can't really say. I'd aim more at doing Let's Plays of things. Those usually go over well.

Alec

@Fluttershy My goal is to do something completely unique compared to what's currently on youtube for gaming videos. I guess there's more work to do.

fbueckert

@Alec Just make sure you don't lose your audience; without a context of sorts to follow, all you're going to get is confusion.

Alec

@fbueckert You're correct, I'm going to have to devise a different method of being unique.

fbueckert

I've explained to our intrepid user that we closed his question so he can fix it. If he doesn't show up again in the next couple of days, punt it out the airlock.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert Nicely done, sir.

I applaud this action.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy I'm trying to take that whole "Be nice to new users" thing to heart.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert Same here. but only if they show me the same respect.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Takes some to get some.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert You know what I mean. =P If I am nice and they are mean, I will be mean.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy If this dude rolls back the change, and calls it fixed, we can punt the question out the airlock.

My thought is, "I tried to help. He doesn't want to learn. shrug Burn it."

Fluttershy

4:26 AM

All you can do, really...

fbueckert

@Fluttershy That said, I'm trying REALLY hard to not downvote all of gameaddict's contributions; he looks like he's trying to help, but with the masterpieces I linked above, I can't tell if he's masterfully trolling.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert He was suspended for what... Two weeks? I don't even remember why now.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy I direct you to this gem of a comment.

user15026

Hmm, NSMB2 comes out 3 days before my birthday. Maybe I can convince one of my parents or something to get it for me :D

fbueckert

And then his serial upvoting and commenting, "Excellent question!" of closed questions.

user15026

4:31 AM

@fbueckert on, yeah. that.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert Oooh right. Where he called Strix "some stupid person"

fbueckert

@Fluttershy I honestly hope he's actually behaving now. But, if previous actions are any indication, he's going to go bonkers on us in the next few days.

And then we'll have to suspend him.

Alec

Not trying to sound mean, but I'm questioning if the Alex user who just posted that new question is a troll.

fbueckert

Again.

@Alec Well, we tore out the spam, if that's what it actually was. If he can't/won't fix his question, we'll delete it in a couple of days.

Alec

@fbueckert Oh ok

Anyone here play Tribes Ascend or Battlefield 3[PC]?

Looking for someone to play with.

Fluttershy

4:40 AM

@Alec I think we have a few users who play Tribes. Dunno about BF3 though. Also, if you haven't seen this meta post yet, it may be of some interest to you.

Alec

@Fluttershy I'm not really interested in 'SMITE' but I'll probably join the play night if there's a good notice.

Fluttershy

@Alec I'd offer to ping you with any updates, but my memory is terrible... But keep your eye on that meta post for more info! =D

Alec

@Fluttershy Alright, I'll do my best to keep an eye on it. Thank you for linking me to it.

I'd like to play freeciv on my local area network over a wireless router. I can get the freeciv server up and running, and the client will connect to the server if I run it off of the same computer. However, it doesn't work for another computer connected to the same router. Other computers on the...

A: Steam ports blocked

I recommended you Used A vpn connection then all your traffic will appear as SSH traffic rather than steam traffic and so will not be blocked (assuming your network doesn't block VPN traffic.) If you want android phones vpn http://www.bestvpnservice.com/blog/best-android-vpn-providers-list-of-t...

The answer is correct in that a VPN would do, but the links are hardly relevant (VPN through phones so that you can run Steam? Really?)

I'm thinking of flagging as spam because another answer already mentions VPN (sans spam-y links)

Q: Why is computer/laptop screen not suitable for video games?

I have heard that TV monitors are better suitable for video games like xbox kinect etc than computer monitors. Why is it so? Is it just because of screen size or also something to do with screen refresh rate. But if I use more video RAM or if I attach a dedicated video/game processor/graphical ca...

@Ender That may not be the correct interpretation of the question. It is, however, the one that's least likely to be closed, I think

Ender

how do you figure that i could be an incorrect interpretation

it*

Yi Jiang

The other interpretation is asking why computers are unsuitable for video games in general, which seems like a silly claim, but which is plausible, because he's saying things like "if I use more video RAM..."

You won't need more RAM to use a console with a computer monitor

Ender

his first sentence reads...

Yi Jiang

Or a graphics card for that matter

Ender

I have heard that TV monitors are better suitable for video games like xbox kinect etc than computer monitors.

uhh

thats hard to misinterprit.

misinterpret?

Yi Jiang

10:33 AM

Except he calls them video games

Ender

well, their video games.

what else would you call them?

FAE

@Ender Yes

Ender

just because its a diesel VW doesnt mean its not an automobile

Yi Jiang

Video game consoles. Consoles run video games.

Ah, never mind. You're probably right,

it's just weird how he keeps talking about RAM and stuff

Ender

thats a perfect example of how sometimes a little bit of knowhow is worse than none at all

he's overcomplicating his problem.

I'm tempted to butcher the crap out of his question by removing all the unneccesary stuff, but I'd rather not until we hear back from him about what he meant.

A moron in a hurry

"A moron in a hurry" is a hypothetical person against whom a claimant's concern might be judged in an English law civil action for passing off or trademark infringement. The expression is used to reject a claim that two items could reasonably be confused by a passer-by (i.e. that even a moron in a hurry would notice the difference), on the grounds that the items are so different that the goodwill and brand of the claimant's item cannot genuinely be affected by the existence of the other.
