Q: Escape CoD:BO's main menu in the PC version.

Bruce ConnorI've been trying to escape the main menu in Call of Duty: Black Ops, but I can't find out how. All the guides I find out there just say: "Alternately press the right and left trigger". None of them seem to have tried it for the PC version. A few of them suggest: "Left and right mouse buttons wi...

Q: What does the turns required to build a unit / building depend upon in Civilization V

SathyaI'm new to the Civilization series and currently playing my first ever game. I've 3 cities and building a unit in each city seems to require different number of turns - why is this different ? What reduces the number of turns required to build a unit ?

 
I wish there was a version of NetHack for PC that used the gesture interface of the iPhone version

Q: In Modern Warfare 2, is it a realistic strategy to play free for all mode with a LMG?

Anonymous TypeIn Modern Warfare 2, is it a realistic strategy to play free for all mode with a LMG? Is this a wise strategy? Should I go for a more "all round" fitout/perks when playing free for all? I seem to get a bunch of kills but get nailed on the smaller maps and anywhere with boxed killzones/corners.

 
@sjohnston Gesture interface?
 
@GraceNote That's maybe not the best term. It's not like wii-controler gesture. It divides the screen into an invisible (except when gesturing) grid, and you draw symbols that equate to different commands.
 
12:43 AM
@sjohnston Are they really cool symbols?
 
to drop an item, you drag a line down the right side of the screen, etc.
 
How do you pray?
(safely) (to god)
 
well, some of them are mnemonic, but for the most part they're as simple as possible
:)
 
Also, what role are you running, anyway?
 
@GraceNote I have been playing random and dying a lot

I suppose that's how any good Nethack player starts off: dying a lot

Q: What's the purpose of the Golem at the Cliffside Airdock in Bryyo?

JoshIn Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, if you land on Bryyo at the Cliffside Airdock, there's a large room with grapple hooks along the top, and a disabled Mogenar War Golem. I think the room is called the "Grand Court"? I got the X-Ray visor and managed to restore power to the Golem which stood up to r...

 
Died to Team Ant yet?
 
Currently an orc barbarian on level 8, and that is as far as I've gotten so far...
@GraceNote Team Ant?
 
Normally I'd suggest asking on-site, but this one is more of an in-joke
Soldier Ants. Deadliest scourge and the most frequent source of deaths
Very early spawn, very vicious. The name "Team Ant" comes from the old newsgroups, where people would cheer for Team Ant when they saw a new ant-related death reported.
 
are they like Team Rocket? Do they do a little introduction rhyme before dismembering you with their mandibles?
ah
 
12:49 AM
No, instead they just shred you to bits because they're faster than you, more powerful than you, and less explodey than you.
 
1:48 AM
I haven't made it past the "what the hell button did I just accidentally press" level of nethack mastery.

Q: Minecraft gives error when I try to play?

Lucas McCoySo when I try to play Minecraft it keeps giving me this error: I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and I have the latest version of Java installed. How can I fix this?

 
I find it difficult to believe there isn't a community-wikified uberquestion on superuser for "How do I update my graphics card's drivers?"
I even looked for a generic "How do I upgrade my computer's drivers" question
 
2:06 AM
but graphics cards are for video games and video games aren't allowed on SU
 
2:33 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz are graphics cards not used for things like 3D modeling, photoshoppery, video, and other intense graphical manipulation?
 
Why should we let that get in the way of a good ol' fashioned Witch Hunt?
 
ah, one of those deals
 
2:49 AM
Level 35.

Q: Is the Progression of My Progress Saved?

GnomeSliceDoes Progress Wars save my progress? What I mean is, if I halt my progress for now, and later progress back to progressing, will this progression begin from my last progress, or will all progress progress to be lost?

 
Is that strip about religion, or fallout: new vegas?
 
I'm really not sure.

Q: Rockband/Guitar Hero Drums

NeilWhat are the recommended drums for Rockband/Guitar Hero? I have a set of Guitar Hero World Tour drums that are finally broken beyond use, so I need to pick up a new set. I don't have a strict budget, but I don't want to pay 4x for something only slightly better than the Guitar Hero drums I am ...

 
the two most inspirational minutes ever?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz So it would seem. Heh.
Anyone besides me recognize the movie at 1:27 of that video?
Also, what the heck is at 1:58?
 
@GnomeSlice Galaxy quest you mean?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's the one. :P
 
3:34 AM
Also, 1:59 is fucking GOONIES
how could you not know that
 
Never seen it. :O
Your mission: Collect The Ninja Queen
 
Fix this
 
I can get behind that one.

seriously, go watch Goonies.
Immediately
 
Just enjoying a treat.
I may have linked this already...

Posted by Jeff Atwood on November 15th, 2010

As Stack Overflow grows — or any other Q&A site in the Stack Exchange network, really — there’s a natural pressure to discover and link duplicate questions. The more questions you have, the higher the possibility a given new question isn’t in fact a new question, but a duplicate of an older existing question. Because of this, we’ve continually enhanced the tools for finding, linking, and merging duplicate questions:

One thing I want to be clear about, though, is that duplication is not necessarily bad. Quite the contrary — some duplication is desirable. There’s often benefit to having multiple subtle variants of a question around, as people tend to ask and search using completely different words, and the better our coverage, the better odds people can find the answer they’re looking for. And isn’t that, really, the whole point of this exercise? …

 
Your mission: Aggrevate The Yakuza
Anyone here play Role-Playing games often?
The variety with dice/character sheets?
Or the video variety.
 
Video variety yes
 
Ever heard of Unforgotten Realms ?
 
4:12 AM
no
@Feeds This makes me want to feature request a 'flag as duplicate without closing' option.
 
will check it out in a bit
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That seems kind of silly.
 
rocking out to girl talk atm.
 
I think I'm going to call it quits for tonight at level 50.
 
4:13 AM
@GnomeSlice Not really - it would be nice to, for instance, have the 'THIS MAY BE A DUPLICATE, YOU MAY FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HERE' banner come up without actually closing the question.
and would resolve certain disputes we've had here on gaming.se in the past for instance.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz For your average internet user googling questions, seeing that banner may cause confusion.
 
But that banner is already there on dupes
except as of now, the dupe is also closed, so if there is information relevant to the specific variant closed as dupe, it can't be posted.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Do closed dupes link to the duplicated question?
 
yes
what I'm suggesting is keep the link, but don't close it
 
But what if, as he said, we end up with 3 or 4 variants.
You propose linking each of them?
That would be a lot of links for one banner.
 
4:28 AM
no, in general when a dupe is flagged, a 'canonical' answer IS chosen.
they would all link to one question
but they would also remain individually open.
 
But his point was that none of the dupes is necessarily more valid than the others.
Although this is discussion is quite interesting, I've just reached level 50, and am really getting tired. So I must bid thou adieu.

Q: Can water freeze and snow fall in biomes in Minecraft?

Jonathan DrainIn the current version of Minecraft, can water freeze to ice in tundra biomes, as it did in ice worlds before biomes were introduced? Relatedly, can new snow fall in tundra biomes, after scooping up all the existing snow?

 
8:12 AM
@Feeds people with 3k, read that blog post
 
lol indeed
I instantly thought off that starcraft 2 question from yesterday that got called out being a dupe
 
I thought of the SC2 login question or the Nethack item identification question :)
 
8:30 AM
I do agree with Jeff (at least regarding getting an answer to the questions and the butt ugly UI part :P)
I wanted to ask a question on SU: How do I protect myself against Firesheep?
turns out there were similar questions, even about Firesheep
but who didn't even mention it
you don't think those will popup on Google do you?
 
yeah.
You could go and add the term in however :P
 
I edited the title and a little bit of text
but now I can just ask the question the way I want it too :P
muhaha!
but my point is: I can edit, but I'm a mod and only on Super User
so I'm screwed at any other site
 
Yeah, I know, you were complaining about SU though :)
 
but I had a similar thing on Android
where I had severe battery problems
but there were already other questions that were very related
but way too basic, it just doesn't work for me
but normally those would have been closed as dupes
luckily the new mods still have to get the hang of it, so I'm good :P
 
it's bad when I have to force myself to pull an all nighter just to not miss another Calculus lecture
 
8:44 AM
Calculus deserves a clear mind.
@Mana You aren't going to grok multidimensional limits with an uptime greater than 12 hours :P
 
luckily we're not at that point yet, this is only first year calc
 
That doesn't make limits any easier to grok.
(I think the actual amusing bit is the "EXIT →" sign, however. Who woulda thunk?)
That video totally needs the dramatic chipmunk music when the horse turn its head, however.

Q: Just how far can I progress?

ManaI've just started playing Progress Wars and unfortunately I'm quite hooked. This truly is the best mafia progress game I've ever played. But is there an end to this progression? Will I ambush soy beans and sell the Yakuza forever, or will I eventually reach a point where I can progress no further?

 
STILL FIVE HOURS TO GO FOR THE BEATLES ON PING!!
or was it BLOOM?
I forget.
I think it was BLOOM however.
 
u r bloom
 
shines gently
 
overuses badp in modern games
look at how realistic this game is, it has bloom cranked up to 5000x
never mind the low-res textures and ridiculous amounts of brown
 
@Mana Bloom will be an integral part of Ping.
Whenever you are pinged, your monitor gamma will be gently and imperceptibly be raised to 5.
After it fades back to normal, the iTunes icon (now non removable, because if it was it wouldn't get to BLOOM) will continue its discreet shining until you give attention to the ping
bathing the lower half of your Mac's gorgeous monitor in light
(by "give attention" obviously I mean "reply and share with at least 5 people")
this will help people understand the beauty of Ping.
You will ask yourself how could you possibly Ping before this earth-shattering BLOOMing update was bestowed upon you by the geniuses at Cupertino.
Happy?
Who knows, maybe you can get some LENS FLARE action too.
But it'll mainly be BLOOM.

It irritates me that most of the decision-making and discussion threads about how to do things for all SE 2.0 sites take place on the SO meta. Why should I have to build up SO meta rep to discuss things that are going to affect gaming.SE?
 
2:52 PM
@sjohnston because meta.Gaming isn't about StackExchange
 
@badp I don't see why meta.SO should be either. One site with two purposes, unless we assume that everything that applies to SO will apply to the rest of the SE sites
 
@sjohnston I know meta.SO is kind of a bastard child
but meta.SE is about SE 1.0

I guess that once SE 1.0 goes completely offline, SE discussion will find its home there.
I just hope meta.SE won't then need HTML5 the way chat.SE does ;)
 
I am mostly just annoyed that I need to work on rep in yet another location to participate in the discussions I would like to participate in. But I guess that's the way it is and I shouldn't go on whining about it.
 
2:57 PM
@sjohnston Well, you don't needs reps to answer.
@sjohnston Would you like me to add a feed of MSO questions tagged stackexchange or stackexchange-2.0?
So no discussion happens "on our back"?
You know I like adding feeds :D, I just don't know if that'd help you take part.
 
I wouldn't mind that, provided it doesn't spam the chat too much.
Ultimately, I think I'll need to just work on building a little rep over there.
 
@sjohnston Only one way to know!

Q: How do I horde items effectively?

sjohnstonWhen it comes to RPGs, I am a hoarder. Specifically, I want to be able to pick up all items, identify them, sell all the useless stuff, and keep everything that might be useful. NetHack makes this difficult because: It is very easy to become overburdened, especially lugging around weapons and ...

 
For the Hoaaaaard!
 
I was temped to try to work in a "for the hoard" reference, but I gave up
NetHack stomps on all of my "easy-RPG" sensibilities.
i.e. the desire to become overpowered, collect everything, and then god-mode through to the end.
RE: Ping - it still amazes me that all these companies think they're going to make headway with new social networks. The space is packed full. If you're just getting into the game now, you're not going to win.

Q: How do I run and dive in Black Ops?

Michael PryorFor domination games, I see some guys run up to the flag and dive onto it (into a prone position). This is probably really obvious, but I have no idea how they do it...

 
@Brant Yes, Final Fantasy taught me that I should finish the game with a full stack of everything. If I don't, then I obviously haven't spent enough time on optional side quests.
 
@badp No, I don't mean Edit, because Edit doesn't create a Big Fancy Banner like the official Closed as Duplicate banner.
 
4:22 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Closing for duplicate has Community editing a banner above the question.
By the way, @CharlesBoyung, nice try trying to get me to say what site I think has filled the void we're trying to fill. If I thought the void was filled, there'd be no void to fill in the first place. Try again.
@CharlesBoyung, what part of "I'm not going to give further replies here." defies you?
Hello.
So, what's your point again?
 
You're the one that said there was a void to fill. The supposed "void" you said is there is clearly not.
 
@CharlesBoyung Okay, so what site are you thinking about?
 
Tehre are TONS of sites that answer questions about games
GameFAQs is one
 
@CharlesBoyung GameFAQs is about frequent [ly answered] questions. Right there in the name. Try again.
 
And seriously, please explain this comment: "most lists of which are released under a closed license that explicitly negates redistribution"
You clearly haven't ever been to their forums.
Anything and everything is answered there
 
4:30 PM
Well, we believe forums suck for getting questions answered.
 
Why do you care about redistribution of the content on GameFAQs
That doesn't mean there's a void
 
If the answer is on page 924 of a thread, you're not going to find it full stop.
 
There is most definitely a way to get questions answered.
 
The void is of a Q&A engine that works about gaming.
 
Your answer to the question on meta is incorrect and misleading. That's all
 
4:30 PM
@CharlesBoyung Yes, and a lot of those sites are terrible. The 'void' is not that other sites don't exist. It's that they aren't any good.
 
That doesn't mean that there's a void to fill.
 
Yes it does.
 
In fact, your statement proves the opposite. The sites do exist
 
A void can be one of quality just as surely as it can be one of existence at all.
 
Just because YOU think they suck doesn't mean they aren't there. Or maybe you are using some other definition of void that doesn't exist in this universe.
 
4:31 PM
Google filled the void of search engines that worked.
Didn't mean there weren't a thousand search engines around already.
 
But you didn't say that it was a void of quality. You specifically said it was a void of those sites in their entirety
 
@CharlesBoyung I said "void" without qualifying it.
 
And there most definitely were search engines that worked BEFORE Google.
Sorry, wrong: See your comment: "@Charles: a site that answers your questions about gaming"
 
@CharlesBoyung worked well.
 
@CharlesBoyung Google redefined "working" in the context of search engines
@CharlesBoyung with the emphasis on yours.
 
4:33 PM
Yahoo worked incredibly well. No one had problems with it for years
 
Where, you know, "answering" is the operative word.
 
@CharlesBoyung Do you honestly have something to contribute to the conversation, or are you just here to be a very angry pedant?
 
Not "commenting", not "discussing", not "finding in a list"
Forums are for discussions.
FAQs are finding on a list
 
@CharlesBoyung More accurately, nobody had any idea what their problems with Yahoo were until Google came along.
 
Your answer is incorrect and you have been unable to understand that.
 
4:34 PM
Q&As are for answering.
@CharlesBoyung OH NOES I WILL BE DOWNVOTED
 
Not disagreeing with that. Disagreeing with yoru answer
Your
 
KEEL ME NOW!
My PRECIOUS meta reps.
 
You are the one who was continually stating that your answer is correct.
 
I'm fine with being downvoted, @CharlesBoyung.
Just don't try and pass me off as an idiot.
 
Well, if the shoe fits...
 
4:35 PM
Whatever rocks your boat.
 
So, no comment on the fact that you just contradicted yourself?
 
@CharlesBoyung I didn't. Or did I? Link please.
 
"@CharlesBoyung I said "void" without qualifying it."
Your comment on the site:
"@Charles: a site that answers your questions about gaming"
Sure looks like you "qualified" it
 
6 mins ago, by LessPop_MoreFizz
A void can be one of quality just as surely as it can be one of existence at all.
I meant qualified in this sense. ↑
I'm sorry if I was unclear about my use of "qualified".
 
Sorry, but that definition is incorrect anyways. You can say that there is a void of quality sites, but just saying that there is a void means that the sites do not exist at all.
 
4:40 PM
If I changed "a void" to "a void of quality", would it make you happier?
 
I'd have no problem with your answer if you said there was a void of quality sites, but saying that there is a void of sites that answer questions about games is unfair to all of those sites that have existed for years.
 
Please remember downvoting on meta does not cost reputation. There is no reputation on meta.gaming.
 
Yeah, but I don't have the rep to downvote on that meta site yet.
 
@CharlesBoyung I don't have content of yours to upvote either to let you downvote.
 
No problem. I just started going to the gaming site.
Honestly, I've mainly been browsing while waiting for things to compile.
 
4:42 PM
@CharlesBoyung Then I wish you a more pleasant and relaxed time on the site.
 
I just really dislike it when past successes are downplayed as irrelevant (or nonexistent), because things like stackexchange wouldn't exist if not for things like the forums on sites like GameFAQs.
 
Forums sucked enough for Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky to start this StackOverflow thing out of scratch, to create a new company around it and waste years of research and work into it. If you think it's a merit, fine.
Not the thing I'd boast around, but hey, to each their own.
 
Forums worked for years and years, and still do. I agree that Q&A is better suited to another form, but if you are denying that GameFAQs worked to answer gamers' questions, then you are wrong.
 
@CharlesBoyung I'm not denying GameFAQs is useless. I'm claiming GameFAQs focuses on something we don't want to go into. I'm claiming forums are poorly suited to getting questions answered. I'm claiming there's a void of sites that focus on the answering of questions about gaming, closing everything that doesn't fit in that description, and then some more.
 
That's fine. And I'm just saying that denying those sites even exist is not the statement that you should be making because all it has the potential to do is piss people off.
 
4:48 PM
I see you're the first person I pissed off enough to warrant a reply. Congratulations!
My opinions are just that, opinions. If anybody would agree on an opinion, it wouldn't be an opinion, it would be an axiom.
 
Is @Ivo here?
 
@tzenes I haven't seen him.
 
You still haven't explained one thing to me - what was your point of bringing up the licensing of the content on "other sites" (I'm assuming GameFAQs)?
 
@CharlesBoyung I don't like it. I don't know if it's enforced, but it's unnecessarily restrictive.
 
@CharlesBoyung Because there's inherent value in work being open to be shared/in the 'public domain' to some extent or another.
 
4:52 PM
All content here is CC licensed
 
If it was followed to the letter, not even Google would be allowed to show snippets of those pages.
 
If you don't happen to agree with that particular position - well, that's your politics, but that doesn't render the position invalid.
 
If it isn't followed to the letter, it isn't a good license to begin with.
 
@badp Though, to be honest, thats more a problem of 16 year olds with a minimal understanding of the law trying very very hard to write 'Tough sounding' legal disclaimers.
 
@badp - what does that have to do with the question that was asked?
 
4:53 PM
Honestly, I feel like theres significant hay to be made writing about the enforcability of the various claims made by such amateur legal boilerplate. It would be a pretty fun article.
@CharlesBoyung Well, guide books tend to be copywrited and not released under any sort of open liscense either.
 
@CharlesBoyung It's one of the differences that set us apart from other sites.
Also, it's one of the things I happen to like a lot about SO/SE/Gaming
If SO turns evil, we just take the latest dump and fork the content on, say, Shapado.
If GameFAQs puts a paywall, well, that's that.
 
@badp - Again, I don't see what the point of the comment is. It has nothing to do with what was being discussed.
 
That's what just happened over at nethack.wikia.com, btw, now forked to nethackwiki.com
@CharlesBoyung If I thought something was relevant to the question, I'd have put it in the answer.
GameFAQs is not a Q&A site.
 
Oak
@Charles @badp these comments will not last for long
 
@CharlesBoyung It has plenty to do with it though. It's another aspect of the 'void' that we fill - none of the existing sites that provide this sort of content (gameFAQs et al) are 'open' in quite the same way.
 
4:56 PM
GameFAQs is not relevant.
 
GameFAQs has a Q&A component to there site
 
@badp GameFAQs does actually have a Q&A section now, but it's a cesspool of bad information and horrible horrible english/typing. It's honestly nigh unreadable.
 
it just doesn't work
 
@tzenes I've seen it. It's an afterthought.
 
perhaps, but I'm not sure how that's relavent
what matters is that it doesn't accomplish the goal
 
4:57 PM
Honestly from my perspective, the 'void' gaming.se fills is that it's a site with gaming questions and answers where the users can, for the most part, speak coherent english.
 
@tzenes If my forums have a section where only I can post, that doesn't make it a blog.
They're still forums.
 
it does if the forums have a session where you can posts blog entries
ala roosterteeth
 
@badp Well, depending on what forum system you're using... thats not neccesarily true.
 
since gamefaqs feels the need for such a thing, but can not implement it successfully, then it seems like an admission on their own part that a site like ours has value
 
By "section," I mean a, er, forum.
