@GnomeSlice Because the point of the game is to try to find something that doesn't lead to philosophy. I can think of no candidate more suitable than nickelback
So far I've always managed to complete the objectives for the campaign levels, and I know there are various conditions that trigger a loss (losing an election, coup, having your palace destroyed). But what happens if I just keep playing a level without either of these things happening? Do I eve...
I need a bunch of diamonds to make a mod, and the only way I know of is to turn in champagne as exchange, but so far I've only found one bottle (I forgot where). Where can I get more champagne and diamonds?

I know it takes 500 turns to reach year 2050 in the default "standard" game speed. How many turns does it take in other game speeds?
Could not easily find this information online or in the manual :(
Lately I've been playing Oblivion with Nehrim, the total conversion mod, and it has started to crash at various times and corrupt most of my newly created games. I'm running Steam GoTY version (which should always have the latest patch) + Nehrim with latest English patch. I'm about 100 hours into...
In Fifa 12, during the penalty shootout the AI often delays the shot. The player stops 1 step before the ball, trying to force the keeper to move and then shoots.
a) How can you do this?
b) Are there any other special moves for penalty shootout? I know L1 + B lets you chip the ball for example.
The title more or less reveals the entire problem. Although I haven't yet had anything serious happen to my mob trap, with 1.8's release I'm worried that an Enderman might spawn inside my trap and move a block to completely destroy the trap's effectiveness or worse, release the mobs out of the tr...
The problem with JS is that it's widely used not because people like it, but because Netscape managed to get everyone to use it back when it was new. And so now, every web browser supports it.
This image showed up on Reddit this morning demonstrating a perfect score:
Here are the author's tips:
You have to go for a non-lethal run (pacifist). Try to do a non-lethal takedown on every possible guard. Try to get a multiple takedown on guards having conversations or even patrolling. ...
In my inventory, there are two seemingly identical stone brick blocks.
The stack of 48 stone bricks was crafted from furnaced stone. The stack of 9 stone bricks was dug from stone brick stairs, which were crafted from stone bricks. The two stacks are identical in name and appearance, except th...
Civ 4 was a little different with where you might want to settle and in Civ 5, there is no real benefit of even settling next to a river for your capital. Sure, you will lose out on some water builders, but overall, they aren't worth the hammers that cost to built them anyway.
So like this ques...
I learned long ago that if 3/4 of their team changes to Pyro, change to something that can deal with them. Personally, I like changing to sniper then throwing Jarate on them when they try to flame people, although other classes likely work better.
Oh thanks, Sony. Apparently the Vita has approximately the same battery life as the 3DS.
Lets see... no better battery life than the 3DS, no onboard memory, non-standard memory cards... Sony really wants Nintendo to win this handheld generation, too.
It had movies and music, but no one used it for that. IT was too small for movies, not to mention no ones to spend more money for a smaller version of it
My computer is starting to get a little old, and the games are starting to lag. I want to upgrade my computer, but I don't have idea of what I should buy.
Right now, I have a QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2400 MHz; an Asus P5KPL-AM with 2 PCI, 1 PCI-E x1 and 1 PCI-E x16 motherboard; a NVIDIA ...
Has nVidia announced the GeForce 600 series yet? It seems odd that the 500 series hasn't been replaced yet despite having been around for almost a year now.
It is my first game of civ 5 but I have played many times civ 4 and civ 3. I have seen twice now my capital having a stagnation for no apparent reason. From what I read, food is the only reason a city would stagnate. I have seen my city with more food than needed being in stagnation.
At this mom...
Basically, you used to get Streaming service free with your Netflix $8.99 DVD plan. They they increased the price by $1 to $9.99, but made a separate plan that was streaming only for $2 less ($7.99) than the combined total. Now DVD and Streaming are $7.99 each.
@GnomeSlice I didn't say anything about boring answers, only informative ones. :P
Netflix announced the price hike on July 12. Their stock that day closed at $291.27. Their stock price right now as I write this: $170.16. Down $121.11 since the announcement. That's -41.6%. Looks like the change wasn't good for either subscriber or shareholder.
Sticking with the Pyro is a pretty safe bet, as [s]he is the shortest.
Note that yes, the Engineer and Demoman both keep below the white line, but neither of them are standing perfectly straight
Happy Hunkering!
I already put in an answer to that question, but I'm going to make a wild guess and say I recommended Scout (due to speed) or Spy (due to cloaking device)
@GnomeSlice The mouse makes a huge difference in "twitch" FPS games.
@GnomeSlice No friends whose connection you can borrow? Granted, TF2 with all the HL2 required files is something like 11GB if you don't have another HL2-based game installed.
Portal and TF2 use similar game engines. I say similar, because I'm not sure if Portal uses the 2009 version or the 2007 version.
2009 was actually the multiplayer fork of 2007. I forget why they forked it, but they did.
Probably so people with HL2:Ep2 and Portal would stop bitching about the game updating every time TF2 did. ;)
Instead, now we have CS:S, DOD:S, and HL2:DM players bitching about the game updating whenever TF2 does. Except today's update, which is a CS:S update.
Oh right, those of you who play TF2, update coming later today.
@GnomeSlice It is, but it makes the game all about who is better at headshots.
If I wanted a game that promoted headshots like that, I'd play L4D/L4D2 or Killing Floor.
Which are all coop games, btw.
There are very few weapons in TF2 that can headshot: Spy's Ambassador and Sniper's Sniper Rifle, Huntsman, Bazaar Bargain, and Machina.
The Spy's Ambassador is the only one of those that can't one-shot a player, but it also doesn't have a charge meter (it has a reverse charge meter, though... you can't headshot with it again until it cools down)
Granted, TF2 has lots of ways to kill people. Some are more amusing than others (seriously, there's a baseball that does 5 damage and stuns people... but I've gotten a kill with it on a low-health enemy)
@GnomeSlice btw, was it Mac or Windows for the desktop that it wasn't working on?
I have a dozen side quests pending in my quest list, but I'm tempted to complete the main story first.
Is it possible to keep playing the game even after you're done with the story?
Ghandi (the cheeky bastard) just culture bombed my border near his capital, securing several important resources. However, I wasn't watching at the time and so am unsure how many culture bombs he used or how many tiles he grabbed.
I'd like to reclaim some of my resources, but I also want to use...
@GnomeSlice One thing I noticed about Valve's own games is that they don't verify the version of DirectX installed, unlike just about every other game on Steam.
@GnomeSlice Machine specs? I mean, Portal is 4 years old. I can't imagine why it wouldn't work that great. I know TF2 has had updates since then, but I was able to run TF2 on my laptop...
