@CRoss What I find most interesting about this is the omission as to what the most expensive item in the TF2 store is. The most expensive item is the one that contains the 8 items sets, plus their hats.
I often wonder if I am missing some convenient locations at which I could get onto the I-88 in Burnout Paradise. The Burnopedia does not appear to attempt to list all such locations. Has anyone seen such a map?
Should StackExchange reputation be unified cross all sites?
i.e. should a user have a single reputation for all StackExchange sites?
I see a few advantages:
Reputation seeking users will invest in more than one site
The meaning of reputation would not be limited to a single area, but rather be...
I want to finish up playing through Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening and the DLC before Dragon Age 2 comes out. I already have The Stone Prisoner, Warden's Keep, and Return to Ostagar.
In what order should I play Awakening and the post-release DLC if I want to experience the story in chronologic...
With all the new sites around chances are high one has little reputation on a site where one still has one question that could call for a bounty. I think it has been suggested before1 to use rep from another site to set a bounty so I don't repeat that here. My idea is instead:

If I were to start playing X-Com 2 (Terror from the Deep), would I miss anything major, plot-wise, or can I simply jump straight to the sequel?
Alternately, is X-Com 1 a better/worse game than X-Com 2?
I remember watching a tv show reviewing new games about 7-12 years back that had a review about a game in which you are flying through the inside of a computer and as you progress through the game the music becomes more complex. Any idea what game this could be?
Hi, I made Favimon! At the moment, there is no rock-paper-scissors type system to give some classes an advantage against others. I did have one when I first launched the game, but because there are so many classes, it quickly became unmanageable and almost never affected combat anyway, so I took ...
Can you tell me if it is possible to play 3D games form VmWare or VirtualBox?
I have a MAC, and sometimes i miss old windows games. (Like Unreal 1 or KingPin)
Can i expect a acceptable framerate? (I think of older games that game our around 1999 - 2003)
The new Xbox 360 controller is starting to become available in local stores, at least I think so.
Is there any way I can identify the new controller, either by looks or a serial number or something?
I've seen pictures of it, and it looks like it has a new silver finish, and uncolored buttons, i...
I have been rolling through the beginner level dungeons OK, even managing to find Excalibur from time to time. I find myself at a branching point where my knowledge of strategy begins to break down.
Does it make sense to adventure through the upper levels of the Gnomish Mines first, or should I...

I'm working my way through Metroid Prime 3 again, and am being plagued with annoying bug that drove me crazy the first time: Doors don't always open. I can be standing right in front of it, shoot the blue "shield", which disappears, but often the door itself doesn't open. I can blast away at it...
How quickly SCVs are repairing?
How much SCVs are required to repair supply/bunker/barrack been attacked by 2 zealots, by 4 stalkers, 1-2 void rays, 6 marines?
Any other thought valuable fro repairing are welcome.
In Metroid Prime 3, you can collect a handful of Ship Missile Expansions, which supposedly add one to the number of missiles your ship can carry. Does this actually do anything? You really only use your ship to bomb targets a few times throughout the game, and I never had problems with the ship...
I've started a Worgen character and have mailed him a handful of useful bits and pieces (heirlooms and other low level gear). However I haven't been able to find a mailbox in the Gilneas area since I was Level 1 in Gilneas City. I've reached Stormglen Village and was wondering when am I next li...
Picked up BotF, and keep getting massively outclassed by the computer - as in, my destroyer meets a fleet of nine ships (including some capitals), when I may have managed to build nine ships total up to that point.
Is there a "best practice" starting build chain?
It seems that answering this question about jungling theory is not trivial. I decided then to try gathering more info, to make it easier to answer it later.
So, which are the stats of Ancient Golem and the little 2 golems that are with him?
I would like to know:
Hit Points
Health Regen (1s/5s...
We started off with a FAQ building question, one which we really didn't use, because our needs and style evolved to invalidate it. The FAQ has been updated a few times, but only to add small bits for shopping recommendations. A recent game rec brought to mind that the FAQ isn't really that clear,...
A friend of mine bought the Vietnam expansion in the Playstation Store and tried to share with me. I downloaded the expansion with the account he provided, but it didn't work, the option to play Vietnam didn't show on my game's menu. My Bad Company 2 copy is from Hong Kong, and he said it might b...

@ArdaXi exactly. Plus I wasn't sure where it was in the code until I posted it, but after I posted it, one guy commented that X is the problem and I agreed vociferously, but to no avail. Apparently my problem with hashtables MUST be that I have reimplemented readline...
This one guy even went so far as to suggest that what I wanted was nothing like what I explicitly told them what I was doing. His justification was that he wasn't sure of what I was trying to accomplish by populating and returning a particular list, so he simply removed it and turned my data collection code into an inefficient and complicated word count.
@ThatGuy has made the fix, but hasn't actually told you this:
The major cause of your slowdown is the line

which laboriously makes a list of all the keys so far, then laboriously searches that list for `word'. The time taken is proportional to the number of keys i.e. t...
I would like to play Plant vs Zombies in window mode but the result is a window too small for my actual resolution (1920x1200).
Is it possible, using some external program and without changing my native desktop resolution, to launch Plant vs Zombies in a sizable/stretchable window?
I'm trying to remember the name of an old pc game i played when i was a kid in the 90's. the game starts off with your guy looking up into the rain and you have a dragon that gets struck by lightning. and when u begin to play you start off in an attic and get some darts and a yellow ball that bou...
I just finished editing that whole identify-this-game question and just as I am about to submit my edits I get the message that it was edited already (by @Grace).
Would be nice if there was a notice that someone is already editing
I've been hearing the term Metroidvania thrown around in recent years to describe games such as Cave Story and Megaman ZX, but have never quite understood what it actually means.
What does Metroidvania mean? What sort of game mechanics do these games share?
So the mines you plant as engineer stays even if you die. But is there a cap of how much mines you can have at once in a map? I've planted mines in a few places before, and some time later I go back and the mines disappeared.
Actually, I assumed it disappeared, because right where it should be t...
Last month, the flag limits got an increase based on rep:
In order to encourage more flagging, we have increased the number of general moderator flags available to 10 per day, plus one per every 1k of reputation, up to a maximum of 100. So if you have 15k reputation, you now have 25 moderator...
> The Dottorato di ricerca (research doctorate), abbreviated to "Dott. Ric." or "Ph.D.", is an academic title awarded at the end of a course of not less than three years, admission to which is based on entrance examinations.
I based my work on somebody else's thesis, it wasn't very pleasant.
Heh, as I wrote on Twitter page 4 didn't print correctly on all copies: suddenly a sentence finishes mid-word, followed by a completely blank page, without even the page number.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
So I just started out playing League of Legends. I've got a friend who plays and we started up a bot game so that I could learn the basic commands.
It wasn't pretty.
