I'm looking for help from users who want to help breath new life into the Gaming blog! On Super User we got officially blessed by Jeff and I honestly believe that Gaming should be able to deserve one as well.
On Super User we mainly started out with Questions of the Week, which help create a ste...
Planning on trying to non-TAS speed run Portal 2, is there interest in speed runs in the Gaming.SE community (besides the TAS videos that show up on the chat)?
I need to pick back up with StarCraft II, around and after exams I went to play team games more and fun games afterwards.
Should get my 2v2 to >50 rank tomorrow before the new season starts and then play 1v1s again in the new season, I'm really glad they removed the loss/game counts as it's discouraging to play further when having a bad moment...

@TomWijsman There's no such thing as a Portal TAS btw
TASing proper has only barely started doing DOS games...
I am strictly a PC gamer myself, but I noticed a strange thing. When you start every released-for-console game, like Mass Effect or Borderlands, they ask you to press Enter (or any key, etc.) after the initial load, and only after pressing it do you get to see the main menu. PC-only games load th...
What does the term 'kiting' mean when used for games? I've seen the term thrown around here and there in reference to a few different games. Are there specific types of games that it applies to?
I know that PS2 games can only be played in a 'fat' PS3 with the right hardware to run it. But why is so difficult to emulate a PS2 game in the PS3 without that hardware? Is the processor, the architecture, both? Thanks in advance.
If I've played for about an hour or two directly before going to bed I have trouble getting to sleep. Images of the game are still in my head and it takes some time before I can find some sleep. However, this doesn't happen with all types of games - adventure and racing games seem ok whereas firs...

I realize this may sound silly, but in the poker game Holdem many of the top pros have said it is much harder to beat a bad player than a good one, because of the crazy random stuff a newbie will do.
I'm a bronze leaguer myself, and I've taken many of the ideas from various casts and this site a...
If I group my siege tanks together they cover less area and once melee units get to them they all become helpless together; but on the other hand if I spread them around they're easier to surround and their friendly fire is really devestating.
When should I group my siege tanks together, and whe...

@failbadp Just saving should be sufficient, there is barely something randomly generated in Portal as far as I know of. Frame by frame input can be achieved by binding two pauses with a short wait in between if you are performing yourself or just send a key each frame (with a lower host_timescale and a fixed FPS it's not hard to send an input each frame). These inputs you send from your external tool can then be edited to your like, perhaps even be captured from your manual input.
But I agree that it's easier on DOS / 2D games, you can't easily add AI heuristics in 3D games either which in some cases might be necessary to find an (near-)optimal solution...
Hmm, another trick could be to work with breakpoints on the buffer swap and capturing the game's memory if it's unsupported by the game itself. Nasty... xD

@failbadp I'm loving how your post currently ends.
But that might take a very long time because such games run at a faster frame rate, perhaps you could send input each X frames and still manage to finish the game in a near-optimal time.

Trying to remember which iseries it was I went to.
@ThomasMcDonald I didn't put the _____MORE thing in the post, so the post displayed in its entirety on the homepage (as desired) but then I still had a link to "READ MORE →"
So I gave up and put the _______MORE splitter thing.

Oh right. You could use the excerpt box?

Oh, does it show by default? I can't remember if it's disabled or if I removed it for me.
