Well this is actually a continuation of a rant I had back in July, but the content here is a little different and more specific, so please disregard the previous thread :)
Many tags currently have different meaning in different games. I really think we should try and avoid using tags like these....
Even if we limited ourselves to game-specific subtags, there will be intersections between certain subtags that could reasonably apply to other games. Meaningful subdivisions within a game will not always be limited to things that are unique to that game. For example, there are a lot of questions...
There's two different classes of these tags that we deal with. I believe we should pay heed to this, because I don't think it is remotely wise to avoid a tag just because its meaning varies between games. Take nothing of this to address fully game-specific tags where the tag represents something ...
So what makes spy a bad tag because you can have spies in more than one game, but equipment a good tag because you can have equipment in more than one game
@NickT at that point, why do tf2-class when you could do tf2-medic? [tf2-class] says absolutely nothing. The game is class based. EVERY question could be tagged with it.
macro is currently used for wildly different topics:
Macro as used by (mostly) Starcraft2 questions (Examples: 1, 2)
Macro as in scripting; (mostly World of Warcraft questions)
I'd suggest creating a new tag scripting and changing the ones that refer to macro in the sense of scripting to it.

I've noticed some tags in used that are very specific to the game in question. For example, there's a civilization question which had the tags (among others) "worker" and "settler", and there are Starcraft 2 questions (1, 2) with tags such as "zerg" or "protoss".
I'm strongly opposed to these ta...

We now got nearly 500 Skyrim questions in only a week, with this high number of questions it would be really useful to have some meaningful tagging on the questions.
We haven't been very successful so far with establishing useful secondary tags on games, so before starting to retag all Skyrim qu...
A "flip-flop" (used mostly in the United States), U-turn (used in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland), or backflip (used in Australia and New Zealand) is a sudden real or apparent change of policy or opinion by a public official, sometimes while trying to claim that both positions are consistent with each other. Often it will occur during the period prior to or following an election in order to maximize the candidate's popularity.
Although the terms are often used against elected officials, non-elected public officials can also be accused of flip-flopping. Ben Bernanke, chairma...
I still don't see what the difference is if they're different between games. You're not going to be interested in all [tag:equipment] questions anyways.
@Ullallulloo The thing is, the scope of the tag on both games is identical within the coverage of that game. They represent the same meaningful subcategory. - Grace Note
@RavenDreamer I still don't see why it would matter if in one game equipment was a class. What the tag means doesn't matter because you're not and can't use non-game tags like tags were designed for.

After completing the main quest in torchlight (after level 34 of the mine), the player can continue in another dungeon. I'm well past level 60 in that second dungeon, but I never got the "Deep Delver" achievement for reaching the 50th floor of a dungeon. I checked the progress, and it shows 34/50...
> South Korean politicians exhibit a great deal of flair when it comes to parliamentary fisticuffs; makeshift battering rams and chainsaws have made appearances, the better to break down doors that might be blockaded by members of an opposing party.
> A sledgehammer battle took place at the South Korean Parliament today, literally. Parliament members opposing a a closed door meeting broke into a conference with sledgehammers and crowbars. One person suffered a head injury while others scuffled. Doors were knocked off their hinges while a desk used as a barricade was reduced to splinters.
After few quests, I returned to whiterun to see dead guards stripped.
I searched their bodies, and they still had their helmet, armor, shoe, etc but they were naked... also in dragon's reach, some female servants were dead too... so I went into my house to see Lydia dead.
I used console to resur...
So, I was done playing for the night and decided to goof off a bit. So I saved and then went to blowup Ancano (in the collage of winterhold) because he bugs me.
I gave him both barrels of my Fire Spell and he just stood there. Shot him till he knelt down and then after a bit he came back up re...
Actually, the title is intentionally vague to avoid spoilers for people who haven't played the game.

There is a new Star Wars game in beta right now. I was wondering if anyone tell me how large it is map- wise and how it compares to other popular games?
Not really a question per se but I've compiled a list of 25+ Apps and Games for your kids. Let them have fun this Holiday season.

I like to browse this site with my iPad and I noticed that there's no way to make spoilers visible. On your normal browser, the spoilers become visible on mouse-over, but such a thing doesn't really exist on a multitouch device. Maybe adding the same behavior on click would resolve the issue (eg....
In the fourth game of The Elder Scrolls (Oblivion) I remember that I could see my own character, but now in Skyrim can't see myself anymore.
Why is that, or am I missing something?
I'm running low on Dusk Amber and want to get more. The Silent Realms are a good source for this rare treasure.
Would it be possible to revisit one of the Silent Realms after completing the trial so I may get more of these?
I recently played as Sona together with Twitch on bottom lane and that question came up:
If my Twitch ally is stealthed and I cast one of my abilities which affects him, can the enemy team see where the animation goes and do I give his position away to our enemies?
Some projectiles that target champions can be intercepted by his allies to safe the target, e.g. Caitlyns Ace in the Hole and Ashes Enchanted Crystal Arrow.
From my understanding normal minions are simply too small and those projectiles fly over their heads. But when siege minions are promoted th...
Is there any differences between races except for looks?
I haven't been able to find any information on this so I am leaning towards it doesn't matter, but I can't find any confirmation on this either.

I just completed the main quest, but when I initially got to Skuldafn Temple I became over-encumbered and dumped all my inventory into a dragon corpse hoping I could come back to retrieve it later (since there wasn't a way to leave Skuldafn and I didn't want to load an older save to dump all my s...

TOR is still in beta, and while it's fairly likely they're not going to currently add new worlds at the moment with release a month away, this question's going to quickly become out of date
I'm not a big fan of huge long-winded books, with very few exceptions. Hell, even Barker's Imajica was a bit of too long-ish for my tastes, and that's "just" about 900 pages or so.
Yeah, that... sucked. So, still no camera or anything, but I'm glad to hear my residency card was found by someone.
I assume that someone must have just found it and turned it in at the police station, otherwise they would've called me rather than sending me something in the mail.

happy thanksgiving, if the country you are in supports such things and you are sufficiently interested in celebrating. Otherwise, "yay Thursday" I guess?
@agent86 I feel compelled to point out that it is only thanksgiving in the United States right now, but other countries have thanksgiving, just at different dates.
My statement is due my taking issue with you ", if the country you are in supports such things", sounds to me as if you think all thanksgiving holidays around the world take place on the same day
How do I find Frost the Horse if he runs away during the quest "Promises to Keep"? I got attacked while riding Frost, dismounted to fight, and then the horse ran away. Now I can't complete the quest. Is there any way to restart the quest or find Frost again?
