To help with Dante's need for a game for a 7-year-old: Kirby's Epic Yarn is challenging, but looks nice and you can't die (the challenge is in collecting all the goodies, you lose them when you are hit)
The main production buildings for the Terrans did not change particularly much between starcraft 1 and 2. Though they are obviously different games, starcraft 2 is, after all, a sequel, and borrowed much from its "older" self.
However, the engineering bay in the original starcraft possessed the ...
I've found myself with a whole lot of freetime at work. Unfortunately, our workstations are pretty locked-down and internet usage is monitored, so I'm stuck doing nothing. And by nothing, I mean minesweeper.
I've got a pretty good rythm going for clearing the minefield, but I'm having a really h...
My recent obsession with Minesweeper led me to open up the game at home (Windows 7). It's a lot different looking.
Aside from the fun new sounds, what other differences are there? Has the mine-placement algorithm changed?

I am going to buy 9800 GT 1GB and this is my first Graphics Card purchase. I searched 9800 Gt and found many different names of 9800 GT.
Is there any difference between Inno3D 9800 gt, Palit 9800 gt, Nvidia 9800 gt, EVGA 9800 gt?
Also will it fit on my DG35EC motherboard?

I liked to use the AddOn Everyquest pre-4.0.3a to be able to complete all quests. It was simply a list which showed you all quests you have not yet completed - grouped by zone.
However, the AddOn was not updated with 4.0.3a and therefore became useless. Are there any alternatives to Everyquest?
Hey Guys,
I'm looking for an online game shop that offers original english versions of a lot of games. I used amazon.de, for an example, to buy some older (UK imported) games. However, for each game, i had to pay the shipping cost. So, I would like to have a European (or German) shop that offers...
In New Vegas, every now and again I'll see a friendly on the radar, but I can't target it in VATS. Then as I move closer to it, small black birds fly away. I know they're present just for flavor, but ... if I had a gun, would I be able to shoot and kill them?
We haven't actually established an official anti-shopping recommendation policy. There has been one off-hand suggestion and one strangely scoped and strangely phrased question.
Super User has such a clause of their own, and pretty much all of the same concepts that apply there also apply here. A...
I just bought Left for dead 2 in the recent Steam sale and thought I'd try single player first. However trying to play the first campaign I always find my AI team mates stop defending themselves or attacking zombies at the start of the 2nd level. Which makes it seriously hard to keep them alive.

but one of the biggest problems with the traditional QA forum interface was that there wasn't an easy way to mark a thread as duplicate without heavy moderator attention
the reason why duplicates are important however, is like in my case the wording is so completely different that it is at least useful to keep it around
point is, I'd be more than happy seeing those two questions flagged as duplicates, because there is information in both that is relevant to each other, but I dislike the idea of them being closed as duplicates.

the biggest reason I think prevention of duplication is important is that it takes away gaming the rep system with asking dupes or worse answering them, because you copied someone else's answer
Closing an exact duplicate in the "did you even try searching first?" sense is fine, but two questions that have, say, 80% overlap are two different questions. It's tempting to try and define everything in absolutes, but you tend to go insane after a while with all the inconsistencies in the system.
I understand your point @tzenes, the microsoft or ubuntu forums have tons of questions, but if you take the dupes out of the equation, you get a different picture
the most important thing is that the user get's an answer to his question, if it has already been answered, it's the site's duty to make it easy to find the answers if they've already been given
I don't think the asker getting his answer is the most important thing... I think that the site gets the information and it is easy to find is the most important thing
the former helps one user, the latter helps many
so I guess I agree with you
mostly I wish "close as dup" merged answers
if the answers shouldn't be merged then its not a duplicate
@brant in the case where the answers are merged I agree, in the case where they're treated as separate questions we're now asking users to make potentially two queries for one full answer
Does killing a zombie while you are in the World Beyond mean that zone will have fewer zombies the next day as well? Does it basically go through and add a random number of zombies to each zone, and all the ones currently there remain?
Also, does killing a zombie in the World Beyond have any im...
I'm adding this feature request to have high-rep users (15k?) to be able to migrate answers from one question to another, so that questions for duplicate answers can be consolidated.
Of course, there would have to be parameters, and a complete historical record, so that it could be reversed if m...
I think that we should change "Close as Duplicate" to "Merge as Duplicate." In such a case all answers would be merged between the two questions and the questions themselves would remain open
it would be made explicitly clear that this is what was going to happen
@tzenes I disagree. Even having two posts that approach the same problem from different angles are valuable to have, because it helps lead other people to the solution.
@Brant if you merge the answers, you still have to separate questions for Google. I fear that closing a question also lowers it's SEO value, so it would probably even be a good thing
@tzenes Why even then? Even if the best answer to two similar javascript questions is "Use this jquery plugin I linked to", they're still different questions.
@tzenes it makes the answer not related to the question anymore. as the answer is only handles a specific sub-case, it is a bad answer for the generic question, while the generic question and answer is valid for both the generic question, and the specific sub-question.
let me explain with two simple examples:
Generic Question: What are the Speedlimits in the Netherlands.
however, it's often wiser to edit the highway version into a more general version, because it prevents 10 similar questions being asked. But this only applies if the answer is short and simple enough
because we play one game longer and longer, thus getting more value for the same amount of cash. Which they don't like, so they just let us pay for upgrades each year at least to keep the stream going
