Some people treat gaming like a science

Nobody knows everything about everything, not even Skeet. But the crowd knows far more than any single person.

suppose you're a hard core theorycrafter on Elitistjerks. You know the exact formula for calculating the dps of a subtalty dagger rogue at level 80. Why would you come to our site?

On the one hand, someone with specialized knowledge might be attracted to these questions not being answered (as they feel useful). On the other, they may feel that they'd be the only ones and not want to join

Mechko

Aug 9, 2010 04:47

but it's also important that the people who ask the questions that attract 'tribal knowledge' don't get disheartened by not being answered. I think it's bad to have questions with 0 answers, especially during beta.

so if I ask the question now, and supply the answer, that's little more than rep whoring. But if I don't, anyone with that question may never come along and find the answer

He has a problem, which he wants to solve. So he comes up with a solution and asks us how to do his solution. His solution is implicitly flawed, but he doesn't know that. I think its sort of on us to figure out what his question is and help him that way

Q: What Tower Defense games are available for the PC?

I like playing strategic/puzzle games and now I'm looking for a good Tower Defense game for the PC. Doesn't matter if it's Flash-based or if I can buy it somewhere. Any suggestions? Edit by Gnoupi: To keep things clear, please propose only one game per answer, and don't duplicate the proposi...

Q: What are some good open-source games?

Because I'd like to try some more open-source games. I know of many but I'd like modern open-source games (games actively developed recently)

Q: What games offer a good co-op multiplayer experience?

I am not really a big fan of playing anything that is not with at least one other human being. For this reason most of the games I've ever really loved are FPS that you can play online with/against others. One thing that has always surprised me is how few games actually let you play their "story...
