Ive been building various monster grinders lately and using water flows to bring the items dropped to a collection point. I've noticed that the items pushed along by the water travel much slower than a player being pushed. Does anyone know why? Is it intentional?
Ships have a tech level, tech one being normal ships. tech 2 the specialist ships and tech 3 being even more expensive.
but looking on the wiki, certain ships have a tier level.
for example the hyperion is a tech 1 battleship but is called a tier 3. the same for the battlecruiser myrmodon which...

Can I flag this for the horribly mangled plural of 'analysis'?
Playing through Sword and Sworcery on the iPad - I've reached the point where I'm battling the first trigon.
It defeated me - so I was down to 1 star health. How can I regain some health.

This is a simple question, but I can't find a decent answer.

I'm a bit of a Guild Wars noob, but I've always been interested in going for the Legendary Defender of Ascalon title. I've started up a character in Pre-Searing, and I've been working my way up to level 10 (using the tips posted on the official Wiki for guidance).

@failbadp When you right-click it, once the animation to pull it out completes (which is like 1 second long), the next enemy shot that hits you causes a fake corpse to drop and cloaks you for... 6.5 seconds I think.
If you're disguised as someone on your own team, said corpse is of the class you were disguised as.
(By default, - switches team color in the disguise kit)
However, you can only pull the Dead Ringer out when your cloak meter is full.
Picking up an ammo box recharges your cloak meter 25% or 40% depending on the ammo box size... this includes while you're cloaked. ;)
The downside is that the decloak sound for the Dead Ringer is much louder, plus you can't just cloak whenever. Also, decloaking early kicks your cloak meter down to a max of 40%.
Before Valve nerfed it to do the 40% max charge when decloaking, the Dead Ringer was the most overpowered item in the game. :D
Oh, someone "killed" me! uncloak, right-click
Oh right, I forgot to mention, the Dead Ringer also reduces damage you take by 90% for the first 6.5 seconds you're cloaked.
Which means headshots and such don't kill you.
Of course, the Dead Ringer is susceptible to all the normal Spy cloak problems: Can be set on fire, milked, jarated, dripping water after you leave the water, etc...
I think the kbd tag's vertical padding is too large to use them inline with other text. Once your text wraps onto multiple lines, kbd-tagged elements' vertical padding makes them visually overflow onto the lines before and after, making the entire paragraph harder to read.
I suggest changing the...
Oh right, one last advantage... for the first 6.5 seconds of the Dead Ringer cloak, touching you doesn't make you appear as the team-colored outline that the other two(/three) cloaking devices do. Enemies still can't move through you though. If you're lucky, they'll think they're just lagging.
If you're unlucky, they'll immediately start attacking the open space, or flame said area, or start monologueing at you like I just did.
@sjohnston: Hey, say something so I stop monologueing!
The sad part is, I think everything I mentioned in my monologue is in one of my answers on Gaming. If I could see Gaming from here, I'd search for it and link it for @failbadp.

You can hardly ask a question on Stack Overflow these days without someone telling you this belongs on superuser, programmers(!), webapps, stack apps, etc, etc.

@CRoss So they have an alert now. Back when chat was in beta, they didn't have that, and I accidentally let a bit of JavaScript run loose flagging the entire rooms message as offensive and starred them
@RonanForman Hath no fear, we equitorians have no need for such primitive time altering devices to keep the sun aligned with our body's internal biological clock
(Presumably you come from the equator, or somewhere near there)
The point of DST, from what I understand is, "man, the sun rises at 5am and sets at 7pm. No one's awake at 5am. That's pointless! Let's move the clocks back so that we have sun from 6am to 8pm! Now we have an extra hour of sunlight!"
FYI, @Powerlord has been temporarily suspended because of the flag on that Rebecca Black video, which apparently someone agreed with. That's pretty uncool.
Read a book. Sleep will fall upon you naturally as you context switch to a more imaginative, relaxed state of mind.
It doesn't have to be anything special; a comic book will do.
@YiJiang No, Feeds deleted it (= it was the flag that removed it)
Someone should really rewrite the tag wiki for game-rec. Right now it sounds like it only covers shopping recommendations, when clearly we have a much broader definition.

For example the Slacker is better suited for the Romance aspiration.

I'd like to ask what bugs there are in a game that help players, but I can easily see this becoming a "list" question (albeit a limited one).

Usually, you need to decide your plan for the game based only on few small things:
type of the map;

You need to begin implementing your strategy on the 11-12 of supply. The only option to receive any information about player till that time is...
