Does microsoft still make the wired version of their controllers? I love mine to death thanks to no batteries, and usb-ness. wouldn't mind another one.
@Aeo yeah, I don't buy madcatz if I can get away with it. The Razer brand is pretty decent, although I've had to exchange this Onza TE a few times. It's got some seriously cool features compared to the stock controller.
i think I probably bought one of the first ones off the line, therefore I get to be a beta tester for them
Ugh... Apparently there will soon be hammering going on right behind me here at work... between the boss wanting to talk about news stories from drudge report and fox news, and the boss's wife making some... very, very poor attempts at singing... It's no wonder I never get much of anything done. :P
It got so bad here that I actually took to counting the number of times I was interrupted for two months... Still got the spreadsheet in google docs... The numbers were quite telling
Well, if you'll ask me guys about port forwarding, I already knew that, however, our ISP doesn't support a 1-PER IP ADDRESS, so we looks like a BROADCAST IP ADDRESS or whatever...
so we can just host this game using a VPN, so that our players can play our game...but most players today uses Hamac...
Say, I need to track a question, in the sense that I want to be informed about every single change, the moment it is updated - most preferably by receiving a message which would display prominently on login/reload.
I can mark the question as favorite all right, but, is there a more "push"-esque ...
It's clear that gold bags are MUCH more prevalent in Infinity Blade 2 than they were with the original, not to mention more cleverly hidden. Do they always show up in the same places over multiple playthroughs? Alternatively, is there a fixed set of places that they can show up?
I've had this happen on two characters now; during the build phase, a Tower that I have built recently, and that I have enough mana to build again, won't allow me to build it.
This last time it was on my Monk. I had the 30 mana to place another Ensnare Aura and yet the UI said I couldn't do it. ...
I started the quest where Vilkus asks me to accompany him to the flame to cure himself.
But it won't let activate the flame and says the quest is complete even though I haven't done anything, and Vilkus is nowhere to be seen.
Is it because I fast traveled to the location?
I played this game sometime in the mid-90's with my friend on his PC. You would fly around in your ship going from planet to planet. When you found an unexplored planet, you could send down an away team to explore it and once you cleared it of any hostile life-forms, you could name the planet. Yo...
I wanted to build an OGame Death Star model in Minecraft, and I started doing it on the highest mountain I could find, for some reason... I built one third of it and blam, can't build any further! Why is that? Or is that a bug?
By that I mean games that get more and more players over time and whose community is still growing months after release.
There's Minecraft, can you think of others ?
P.S. sorry can't find good tags
I'm a level 1... human, I assume? I have a lovely little sword that does 6 points of damage (1+5), and 450 hit points.
The first enemy I face is a "Level 1 Shade". He has a dark, ominous-looking sword that does 20 points of damage. (Ok, that's cool, I have free will and a lot of patience.) ...
Ah, it’s that time again — time to recap the best posts from this past month on our Blog Overflow sites. The last time we did this, we featured some really cool posts from all over. This past month, we had even more really awesome posts. We didn’t have over 9000 of them (though one can dream) but still. Lots.
Geographic Information Systems
I unabashedly called out GIS in the last post, and GIS totally rose to the challenge. Or maybe they just had an entry in the wings. Either way, their entry, It’s all about the data was a thought-provoking entry whose value goes well beyond map-making, with a message that programmers and UX designers and even DIYers can appreciate. …
The "Silent Moons Enchant" Enchantment states that it effect happens "when the moon is out", but what exactly does this mean?
To be specific:
Does it matter where you're located? (inside / outside)
Does the weather has any influence? (clear sky or not)
Do the Phases of one or both of the moons...
With version 1.0.4 of Terraria came fluffy little bunnies hopping in my fields and happy little goldfish swimming in my lakes, grateful for the sanctuary my base provides them against the horrors of the wider world.
So, naturally, I'm trying to kill them.
Not because I expect it to be useful, j...
I'm on an assassination mission in Saints Row 3 and I'm supposed to "Grab one of his hos in Henry Street Mills" to get this guy to show up. How do I know who's a ho on the street and what do I have to do to "grab" them?
@Mana just to finish answering your xenoblade question, the game's made by the same guy/studio that did xenogears/xenosaga, but there's no plot overlap and it doesn't look like it deals with giant human-piloted mechs.
I have a problem that occurred never before. In the majority of games, part of textures are flickering and some weird white points / lines are randomly appearing on black textures. I already reinstalled the drivers, etc.. bud it didn't help.
Do you have any idea what it could be? Or do i have t...
I started an unlimited game and I just wanted to build up my techs like I did in the campaign. It started well enough until I realized that my researchers just weren't advancing. I gave them all they need, they were 100% satisfied but when I went to toggle their tax I noticed that even at lowest ...
This is my first time through playing Elder Scrolls and initially I grabbed every quest that has come available.. At first I thought I wanted to be part of the Legion but I feel like I picked the wrong side and am now regretting my choice. So...is there any way to unjoin them and join up with th...
Dammit, I really want the Really Big Sky OST but the bundle was gifted to me and I don't think we paid high enough the first time to knock the price down
No. Skyrim has no concept of location-amplified damage.
You can decapitate with your attacks in some cases, but such effects are not triggered by preferentially attacking the head.
Someone gave me a downvote on this question. I think they didn't want me to earn the populist badge. :(
I frequently see that my friends on Steam are playing Hello Kitty: Island Adventure. I know that this is not accurate. Why is Steam reporting that they're playing a game that isn't on Steam? Is Steam lying?
that's kind of how I ended up getting over 200 in a day the first time. I saw the gaming grant thing on meta, and I was like "500 rep? by the end of the week? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED."
I don't like that strunk & white doesn't count edits to my own stuff. I edit other people's stuff for grammar and punctuation, but I usually add significant content when I edit my own.
I've been stealthily subtracting or adding whitespace to questions as I retag them. Usually, removing the extra linebreak added when using the button to add hyperlinks or images.
In asking the chat room whether the plot tag would be appropriate for this question, we briefly discussed which tag would be appropriate, plot or lore and whether or not they needed to be distinct.
We have 49 questions tagged plot and 7 questions tagged lore. I've never seen any seriously proble...
I just started playing Skyrim yesterday.
I was annoyed enough by the opening cut scene that I didn't rush off to Riverwood as the game wanted me to, but instead ran around doing a little murdering and questing first.
I'm up to a level 6 wood elf who has a cool sword I found in a dungeon. I have...
When I was very first starting to play Skyrim, I stumbled across a blacksmiths forge in the middle of an open field, along with a note saying that something special happened if you use it at night!
I can't remember exactly where it was, does anyone have any more info? My searches aren't turning ...
An exciting new feature is described in the 1.1 patch notes:
There is a new NPC housing interface that can be used to assign living areas to NPC’s. This interface will also tell you if a room is missing any requirements.
How can this interface be accessed?
But since these are first-time "answers" from new users, deleting is a bit harsh, I generally want to convert to comment so they feel like their contribution isn't completely lost.
@bwarner That's why we leave them comments saying things like, for example of the one I just handled, "Welcome to Gaming! I'm glad our solution was able to help you! However..."
