Q: I'm looking for a specific Horror video game

Matt JanssonI'm searching for this game I used to play on the sega genesis when I was younger. It was a scary game. Probably horror. I can't think of the name though. You play as this green guy or green ghost or something. Your mission is to haunt a house to scare off a family. Some specifics I remember: ...

Q: How can I connect to a specific server by IP address?

LeeI just can't find my dedicated server in the list. My friends can. If they invite me it won't allow me to add the server to my favourites, claiming it's already saved as such, but it's actually nowhere to be seen. Surely there must be a way I can connect to a server by virtue of knowing its IP ad...

Q: When do I Give Up and Go Home?

GnomeSliceSo I've been playing Die2Nite, and my second town seems like I can actually learn something from it. I've just begun autosearching. So, is there a certain point at which a zone becomes depleted? I mean, should I come back after a certain number of hours to move to a new zone? Will I even be n...

Q: Supreme Commander 2 - Build Orders

JeremyWhat's your Supreme Commander 2 build order. I don't just want "6 mass extractors, 2 power and a factory". List of building and units out to the second or third factory, please.

Q: Our city has 40 citizens. Our well has 114 water rations left. What gives?

badpDoes that mean that if no one screws up and everybody gets his daily ration, our water sources will be depleted in 2.85 more days? (The city started existing less than a day ago at 23:36.) Even if we all took 1 water ration every 3 days (unlikely) that only is enough to last for 9 days -- not to...

Q: Are there any gameplay relevant benefits of prestige'ing on COD:BO?

BoraI know of the extra class slots and the various cosmetic stuff like face paints or crosshairs that are unlocked only when you prestige x times. I am not really into that. But I was wondering, if I would miss anything by not prestige'ing at all. If yes, how many times should I prestige for the m...

Q: How to find out about overlooked/underrated games?

BeniOften the most interesting/innovative games don't really get the attention they deserve - at least when it comes to mainstream media. Some examples of PS3 games include Folklore, Overlord II or BrĂ¼tal Legend which did not really get the best reviews and were mostly commercial failures. Neverthel...

Q: Can torches cause fire?

BobbyI was just about to dig myself a new basement to my wooden-home, when I suddenly figured that the ceiling was on fire (long story short, not even the cockroaches survived). The only thing I did was to place a torch underneath a wooden block, as I've done many times before without so devastating e...

Today, we got the green light to go out and purchase 3 PS3's with Gran Turismo 5 with the necessary equipment, so naturally we w...

Q: Does cannibalism count as food?

John RudyI'm going for the Desert Survivalist achievement, and throughout my Fallout experiences, I've never taken the Cannibalism perk. I'm thinking that, since I'm playing a very evil character this time, I might take Cannibalism at some point. If I do, does engaging in cannibalism count as food? And w...

Q: What is the best method of getting better at micro in Starcraft 2?

AglystasI've always known my micro is the worst aspect of my game, which is is why I tend toward out producing, or being sneaky (rushing or using cloaked units). But lately I've realized the only way I'm going to get better is to learn micro better, as well as improve my hot key usage. I was wondering ...

Q: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Mercenaries Missions

Q: Stole a pre-war book at Mojave Outpost and lost a lot of gear -- what happened?

John RudyI was dressed as a member of NCR, and on a larf, decided to steal a meaningless item in the barracks (a pre-war book, specifically). I was wearing NCR armor and an NCR goggle helmet. Once I did, no one turned red, but all of a sudden, I received a message stating I was no longer dressed as a me...

Q: Community Moderator Election Format and Design

Jeff AtwoodWe're preparing the election page now. Here is how we think it will work, based on our existing moderator elections to date. Our general criteria for moderators: patient and fair leads by example shows respect for their fellow community members in their actions and words open to some light but...

This is going to be complicated.
(It's Maths meta, but I guess it'll work that way all over the place.)
 
No more nominating others? Interesting
 
Sounds like we're going back to Area51, then.
 
Area51? Why?
 
Figure of speech, Brant
I hope that announcement gets crossposted back to Meta. I'm not in much mood to register a Maths account.
 
4:38 PM
@GraceNote If the NothingToInstall question is any indication -- no.
 
@badp At the very least, there's going to be a blog announcement, though
 
@GraceNote yes, after the discussion took place (if the NothingToInstall question is any indication).
 
While the impact of the end of the NTI stuff had its effect on all of the sites, the original point was more about NTI than anything else.
> Are the values of n in all three phases supposed to be the same? – J. M.
Leave it to Maths to ask this question
 
@GraceNote Yeah, obviously, let's filter just the top n so it's easier to choose the best n from that group.
To be fair, it's Maths that had the most problem with moderators and interest with the moderation process
 
I know why it's on Maths
Apparently, they aren't the only site with a resignation though
 
4:41 PM
@GraceNote O_O
Man, 34 metas are far too many to follow.
 
I can't remember where I read it, though. I can see who it was, but I want to find that piece of reading first
@badp Bryant, from RPG. You can note it in the comment exchange here. As far as I can tell, nothing big like on Maths, just a simple resignation.
I should make an RPG account. I'll wait until either Writing comes out, or until it graduates.

A: CSS: Is it correct that text content of a div overflows into the padding?

Brant BobbyThis is the correct behavior. overflow: hidden will clip content that extends outside the box. The padding is part of the inside the box, so content will happily overflow into that space if necessary. (source) To get the effect you seem to be aiming for, one solution is wrap your div.foo in an...

Q: How do I open cans?

Brant Our town is short on food, with increasingly large pile of canned food in the bank, but no way to open them. I'm only aware of two ways to open cans: Open the can with a screwdriver. Open the can with a can opener. Nobody in our town has found one of these yet. Are there any other ways?

Q: PS3 "roaming" profile?

Lasse V.

Can I take my home profile and use it on those 3 P...

Recettear is 5bux on steam today what in the
also AudioSurf 2.50
 
Steam is a scam
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz What kind of game is that? For 5 bucks I'll buy pretty much anything.
 
see, that's why its a scam
 
I read that as being "Audiosurf version 2.50" not as "Audiosurf for $2.50"
 
Recttear? It's a JRPG where you play a little girl who owns an item shop that's in debt to a fairy loanshark that will break your kneecaps if you don't pay off the loan
 
7:12 PM
And I got temporarily really excited.
 
Ok nevermind I'm not getting that...
 
You buy it because $5 is an amazing price point, and then you NEVER play it
 
Recettear for 5bux, also includes Nelson Tethers Puzzle Agent
 
its a scam
 
7:13 PM
I rarely buy games on Steam without researching them first...my first comment was kind of a joke :P
 
It doesn't matter if you research them
you're still not going to play them all
you'll by 800 games on steam at $1 a pop
and then play like 3 of them
and essentially you've paid $800 for 3 games

Q: SE sites link to StackOverflow's FAQ?

DexterOn the Featured Questions page, when there are no bounties the link points the user to StackOverflow's FAQ instead of Gaming's. EDIT: I just reproduced this on Math SE so I'm assuming it does it on every site.

 
Actually my Steam game list is mostly empty. Most of it is taken up by Half-Life variants that came for free with the core game...
 
good, avoid the scam
I have 45 games I've probably played 7
damnit, and now I own Recettear

Q: an old 2d plane game

user4938I played it on my windows 95 computer. You control a plane, but there was no shooting etc. There were a yellow cannonball at the bottom of the course. After you reach it, you need to return it to the beginning, but catching up to it is hard because you can't control the plane very easily. The ...

Plz to vote to close so we can show that we are capable of closing bad ITG as a community
 
7:40 PM
Wait -- part 1? even of the game?
I could hardly buy the argument that the book was too long for movie times
but part one of the game?
Holy crap, that's some serious milking.
 
Wow, that's pretty shameless.
 
rofl, a Harry Potter game that starts with a timed section? and the timer shows milliseconds?
not even Need For Speed does milliseconds (except for V5 of World, admittedly.)
man, all that game needs is a cover button, and when you cover you shoot to change weapon.
if you get what I mean.
LOL
"where are we, are we at the nuclear plant?"
 
grumble, my internet connection at work isn't beefy enough to watch day9 cast from dreamhack
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Technically, the 90s RPG was rather community closed. I just hastened it by one step
I can close it now, or I can wait until it accrues 1-2 votes. What say y'all?
 
It has 2 now.
Honestly, the yellow cannon ball thing sounds weird enough to be kinda unique.
Then again I don't know the answer.
 
7:53 PM
@badp I meant 1-2 more
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'd go for this if I weren't more inclined to buy it from a non-Steam vendor. Which reminds me, I need to buy Recettear

Q: Is there a way in WoW Cataclysm to raise Steamwheedle Cartel reputation without harming Bloodsail Buccaneers?

AlexVIs there a way in World of Warcraft Cataclysm to raise your Steamwheedle Cartel reputation without harming your Bloodsail Buccaneers reputation? For those who don't know the Free Knot! quest in Dire Maul has been removed and The Gordok Ogre Suit in Dire Maul don't give reputation anymore.

Q: How big is updated for Cataclysm after buy the digital upgrade?

Brian OjedaIf someone was to Blizzard's digital upgrade version of Cataclysm, how big is the update? Also how big is the update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.3a? Currently, I am downloading a 4.7 gig patch -- the 3.3 to 4.0.1 patch. So I am trying to find out how much more do I need to download.
