I have just realized there is a new menu item called "Starcraft II Public Test" which I think has been installed with one of the latest updates. What is this? I'm not very comfortable with launching executables whose function I don't know.

Everything I find when Googling it references a file called "bin_unix". A search of my system indicates I don't have it. Is there any other way to set a server for AssaultCube? BTW, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.

This is very similar to this question, except mine is about puzzle pieces (although I'm curious for a more satisfying answer to that question as well). Does anyone know if there are rewards (other than getting image gallery or music gallery stuff updated) for collecting all the puzzle pieces? Al...

So, my boss is awesome. He is super nice and a really good boss to boot. Today we happened to be discussing XBox gaming and found that we currently like the same game (Black Ops). So we did what any normal gamers would do and exchanged gamer tags. Now, I am looking forward to playing online...

This may sound odd coming from the psychopath who slaughtered everyone in Fallout 3 and was concerned about whether or not cannibalism counted as food (not to mention what would happen if I engaged in it openly), but I've just restarted New Vegas with the intent of playing a character who never k...

At the beginning of the game I've decided it's important to spread out thinly, avoid enemy contact, and claim as many resource points as possible. Yes? But then it's less clear to me when is the best time to engage the enemy? If I counter attack as soon as they start taking my resources I seem...

There is already a somewhat similar and broader question, but I'm wondering if there is specifically a difference within each series of cars of the health and strength levels of each car. Are there some cars that can take more damage in a Hot Pursuit race or give out more damage when crashing int...

How do you get Quillmane to spawn in EQ1?

I enjoy console racing games, but not really enough to invest in a steering wheel controller and pedals. That being said, when I'm using the analog sticks to steer, I don't ever feel like I can hold the stick at just the right position to make a smooth and accurate turn and/or drift. Rather, i f...

I would like to get 'beat medium AI in 5 minutes' achievement. Usually I am playing as terran. Is there special SMALL (TINY) map for that? What is strategy for that? Should I build 1st barrack on opponents base? Should I play some special race against another special? Any thoughts are welcome. ...

I remember playing a game that you had to make it through a building and would run into aliens or plants.a computer named VAL gave you advice on where to go. There were potions as well. And I remember you could open doors that lead you into an abyss you could sometimes jump over.

I just finished Deathspank (Orphan of Justice) trying to complete all possible quests; I counted about 111 at the end. SPOILER But now I have a question. South to Lord's Castle there is a farm and there you can found a strange dog. Ima said that one day it falled from the sky. I didn't find an...

One of our town is stuck in the desert, one spot below town [0,-1]. he has eaten, he has drunk, he is hung over and has used a drug. he also has lost an eye (auwch.) we have no coffee, no dice and no cards. How can we save him? (i think we have one anebolic steroids in the bank, can he use 2 d...

There's someone in my town who is REALLY in love with the search tower. This is my second town with him and he always wants to build it ASAP and then upgrade it every chance he gets. I understand that getting resources is important, but is it really effective early on to pump up the search towe...

I'm trying to make something like the Panama Canal - there's a piece of land, less than a hundred blocks wide, that if completely removed, would connect two larger oceans. So I did the obvious, crafted up a dozen shovels, and started clearing. The first problem - three tiny lakes in the region, w...

I'm intrigued by Tactical Insertion. It seems it could be very fun in some game types. I've never really seen it used though, in game. Can other players see your Tactical Insertion? If so can they destroy it?

The "parent" site has this in right at the top before any questions: VOTE NOW: What should be done with questions asking for game recommendations? But when you click on the link, you go to a question that has this at the bottom of the question: Closed as subjective and argumentative S...

If you use the decoy grenade in a hardcore match, what happens? Since the players don't have a hud, it seems like a decoy grenade would be useless. Also do they fool sentry guns or Cobra helicopters? Do they show up on Huey or attack helicopter hud?

Is there a way to permanently delete a gaming stack exchange account?

Does the suppressor (silencer) attachment do anything for your in hardcore matches? I understand that it lessens the flash and sound of the gun, but compared to core games it seems a bit less useful. For a while I thought I noticed that when you were killed by a gun with a silencer it didn't tel...

How can I navigate a boat to a higher level in Minecraft? Is there some form of a lock that I could use? Maybe something using doors and watersource... Inspired by this question: Any way to dig a navigable canal (Minecraft Alpha)?

Is there a playstation 3 hack 'n' slay game that supports online co-op mode? I'm thinking of a game like God of War.
