I just finished watching this Super Mario World TAS. One thing that baffled me is, what are red stars for? They never seem to be directly earned, but simply some "bonuses" for clearing particular exits.
Is it so, or is there more to it than that?
Hello, I was curious as to what the differences in gameplay there are between regular mode and hardcore mode?
From what I understand is that you require sleep, food, and water. What are the penalties(other than eventual death) if you are sleep deprived or starved also?
I think my main problem in Civilization V is that I'm not very disciplined with my city specialization and tend to want to build unnecessary buildings in "specialized" cities.
There are several types of specialized cities: Capitol, Science, Military/Production, Financial, Great People, Cultural ...
Does the Retron 3 work with all of the original system accessories, such as the Menacer or Light Gun? I assume that the 32X and Sega CD are out of the question.
I played a "game" online many years ago and I was reminded of it again the other day, I'm trying to find if it's still around (though I'm starting to doubt this).
The website has an initial page to get you into it, it's page 1. To advance to the next page you must figure out the clue and type i...
When I first set up my band in RB3, I didn't have an Internet connection, so I pressed "Not online". However, I've now managed to get online but can't seem to find any way to change the setting.
Is this possible? I don't really want to have to create a new band and re-unlock everything I've do...
Today I was just on http://meta.stackexchange.com and I was shocked to find out that there is still a message for Area 51's public beta and most of the questions are on there at least 1 year old. I was wondering if there is a plan to merge all the questions and tags to here and the rep to.
I am playing minecraft on ubuntu, running it with the following command (in a bash file)

Over the last 4 weeks I have lost 5 worlds.

In Grand Slam Tennis for Wii I make subpar serves, I usually have a speed from nearly 50mph. Computer players and players online get serves with 70-80mph (or even faster). How can I do that too?
Hi guys, I downloaded the Gothic II demo from here and installed it on my Dell Inspiron N5010 which is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. It seemed to go smoothly. However, when I double-click the shortcut nothing happens. I've tried:

Hm... would it be wise to make a pre-emptitive post to bar Hidden Features as a policy on Gaming?
One thing I know Jeff and I will never see eye to eye on will be Hidden Features. As a site, we're doing very well without their "boost", and given the nature and breadth of our topics, we suffer a scaling issue that dwarfs even what Stack Overflow would have to face.
Hidden Features play out the same as Game Recommendations - their value is in the chance that someone learns something new by browsing it. But when have we ever been a place that works off of chance?
To your benefit, the red stars are explained in an instruction booklet, and those aren't easy to find online anyway
I'm... amazed that I'm older than you
At any rate, I was thinking about this because on Meta Stack Overflow, someone asked about polls, someone made a comparison to Hidden Features, and somehow Jeff is able to blast the former but accept the latter in the same breath.
I should probably withhold on posting about Hidden Features for now, though, since I have to prepare rebuttals against Oak's latest Metassault
It's astoundingly confounding how the two of us are always on opposite sides of these discussions, even when this means us switching the sides we normally play.
We are only ever in agreement when we have to unite in order to defeat a common enemy like non-answer answers, it seems.
To start, it alters the very core of the engine. That is just too much. This is more severe than getting more than 25 characters
That's pretty much the all of it. We don't stand a chance of implementation. I foresaw the problem of untagged questions 6 months ago, but we haven't been able to develop an effective defense yet
As far as an untagged feed, I don't know how well that works since the addition of the tag is silent
Not to mention, it's far more dangerous when the tag doesn't get renamed to untagged, but is just removed. Oak just dealt with at least one yesterday, that's probably what sparked the Meta post
Can anyone run through what changes this expansion makes to the game? I have a number of existing characters and I am unable to find any information about how the new content works for existing characters.
I'm currently unsubscribed, but I'm tempted to buy a month to have a run around again.

Is there anybody who can play minecraft in fullscreen an can tell me how to do this in Linux. On my system I only get a windowed mode with a quarter of the screen size and the rest is black.
I am using ArchLinux and the awesome awesome WindowManager.
If 2 players have very strong chemistry which increases the overall chemistry rating for the team but will the chemistry only be effective for the 2 players concerned or do all connections just contribute to the overall chemistry which effects the team evenly?
No matter how boldly and self-confident I hop into a helicopter in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, it takes only 5 seconds for me to lose control and crash the vehicle.
How do you control the choppers with just the mouse and the keyboard? I don't want to use a joystick or a pad.

I had one of those and ended up acquiring a second in a garage sale not that long ago, good find even though I don't think I've used either in 10 years.
I have been running around for quite a while but still haven't found a way or gained a skill that signifies the ability to unlock the urban chests present in iron ore mines. Anyone knows how can we unlock these chests? When I try to open them it just tells me they are locked and she shakes her he...
In Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS3) do I need to have a perk activated in order to get credit towards a pro perk?
For example: I want the Warlord Pro perk and I need to get 10 kills with a frag/semtex grenade. What happens if I get all 10 kills without the Warlord perk activated. Will those kill...

What steering wheels would you recommend for PC? Currently I'm playing Colin McRae Dirt 2.
I guess I want force feedback but am not on an infinite budget :-)
As I understand, correct me if I'm wrong, each race has "detector" units which can see all cloaked units.
Is there a list of these buildings or units for each race?
Does killing zombies in the world reduce that day's attack?
Just wondering if we can't get enough things built for defense if we should walk outside and do a wholesale slaughter of some nearby zombies.
I am currently pondering how effective Flint and Steel would be as a weapon. I'm assuming that it has the same reach distance as a sword/axe, but this would only be useful if I could directly set a zombie on fire. Is it possible to directly ignite such baddies?
On a related note, since wool burn...
@LessPop_MoreFizz Should I assume you linked to Dungeons there? I have that on my Steam wishlist, but I want to try a demo before playing it. (Oh right, yada yada steampowered.com blocked where I work)
And it looks like I replied to the wrong message... should have replied to one higher.
@Powerlord It has been on sale for the past couple months, although only for 10% off, with just launching this week, I'd doubt they do a big sale anytime soon.
Definitely worth the purchase if you're into that genre.
I enjoy it more than TF2 because I like the tower defense parts of it, and the "cheese", including the announcers and the "sports arena" aspects are very well done. In FPS land in general maybe it is more cheesy, but compared to something like TF2 I guess I don't really see it.
