In Ace of Spades, I've hopped in a river with hopes of crossing it, but I can't jump out because the banks are too high! How do I get out of the water without dying?
Fun fact: You can't log in to Steam on an older client from another computer (thanks to Steam Guard). You can't upgrade the Steam client without logging in. You can't reinstall the Steam client without uninstalling the old version, and a repair install fails.
In StarCraft 1, I didn't halt worker production until I had 3 for every 2 mineral patches, and 3 for each vespene geyser. This was my own personal guideline, and I have no idea how efficient/wasteful it was.
What's an appropriate guideline for maximum income rate in StarCraft 2? Does it differ...
In Starcraft 2, I want to maintain unit formations. Other than having one unit type follow another, and then only directing the lead unit type to move, I maintain a pseudo formation, that is my longer ranged units in the back, etc...
Is this the only way?
Duplicate posts (to some extent) are good, as they provide more targets for the unwitting Googler to stumble across when looking stuff up. However, should I avoid copy-editing those posts? Does it matter?
I'm performing some experiments with the new track types and have run into a problem — I want to test the physics of occupied carts without being in them myself (as that makes it very hard to see the "big picture").

The 64x32 pixels of the default resolution skin look rather crappy if one uses a HD texture pack, but that's the only resolution allowed to for upload to the profile on http://www.minecraft.net.

In the recent podcast Jeff and Joel talked about the idea of having separate vote pools for questions and answers. So, for example you would have 10 question votes a day and 30 answer votes.

And another game that I would like and play again. There is this mod called Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul that I would like to try out. Does anyone know how large it is (in Mb) and where I can download it, and is it free to download or should I first buy it?
I already clocked this game without mods...

> Only one test chamber from the trailers appears in [Portal 2], and it has differences.
That's not true. I've seen at least two of them. Except in the trailers they were both over-grown AS themed, while in the game one was old-Aperture and one post-Wheatley Aperture.
so has anybody tried this Axon thingadongdong? I'm not a fan of "$20/y if you want to talk with more than 5 people, with more than one person talking at any other time" but then again only one person has to pay (and be online and be in the room.)
At the end of Portal 2, GLaDOS sings "goodbye my only friend", but then follows up with "oh, did you think I meant you?" Did she really mean Chell, or was is Caroline? The Companion Cube? Wheatley? Sadness that Cave Johnson is gone? (which might come from the Caroline part of her personality) The...
@ArdaXi Hmm... of course, that part of the song isn't clear if she's talking to Chell or solely to Caroline (whom she must be talking to shortly afterwards when she mentions deleting)
@Powerlord She says "When I delete you maybe I'll stop feeling so bad", which means it must be directed to Chell, because she already 'deleted' Caroline.
(Which, by the way, I don't think actually happened, because GLaDOS is entirely based on Caroline.)
Will I be able to make this work in vanilla Minecraft, or do I need a mod to enable it?
What features (if any) do I gain by accessing the console?
Thanks to Tobias for the suggestion, from this thread.
I dunno, I'm with @ArdaXi on this one. Cave or Chell seem like the most likely targets of the line in question, and I also got the impression that there wasn't really an imprint of Cave in GLaDOS.
When you are promoted leagues, your points get reset. If you had 500 points in bronze, when you are promoted to silver, you might now have 400 points in silver.

I'm rather happy playing Morrowind*, but now I decided to finally have a look at Oblivion. I read lots of criticism from Morrowind fans (yeah, obviously it's not Morrowind 2) and now learned about ooo. Since I don't actually have the time to play both vanilla and ooo exhaustively, I'd like to kno...
Because I'm one of those spoiler-free freaks that likes to be spoiler free for things I'm going to play, and I'm definitely going to play Portal 2 eventually. I'm eventually going to play the single player campaign for Starcraft 2 also, but luckily no one talks about that
Now when I play I keep thinking stuff like "I'm having fun making a little treehouse fort to live in, but shouldn't I be working on a 300-meter gold phallus statue or something?"
I just Finished Disk 1 of final fantasy VII Where Sephiroth killed Aeris. Is Aeris like permanently out of your party? Reason why I ask is that I found Aeris has a level 4 limit break called great gospel
I can't get the length of this number as if it were a string without converting said number to a string, which I can't do without creating a string variable of the correct size to hold it.
Then again, I'm dealing with a language that has a return type for "console variables" (which are set inside the parent program) based on which GetConVar statement you call.
It's not smart enough to create a string buffer of the proper size for you, though.
Or I could create a string of 1000000000000000 size, load the cvar as a string into it, and call strlen on it to get how large before the null terminator.
If I understand the idiosyncrasies of this language, that is.
I just hope doing all that doesn't add too much processing time (creating a new data handle for the cvar, retrieving the cvar, doing the log, rounding, and adding 1)
Granted, adding 1 shouldn't be significant overhead.
Is there an easy way to extract specific textures out of Portal 2? Specifically the orange portal, the blue portal and the test chamber sign with the pictograms.
Dirt 2 must have the most startup splash screens I've ever seen in a PC game.
Sometimes I avoid firing it up because of how long it takes to load up. Is there any way to just jump right into the action and avoid all the startup splash and jazz?
That could be Cave Johnson, which is Caroline's husband, Chell's father and the creator of GLaDOS.
Research around a portrait most likely reveals the parents of Chell.
The song prior to the ending song seems to confirm that those are Chell's parents.

So because he's filling in some details, he knows that Cave and Caroline are Chell's parents? There's no proof for that whatsoever.

Caroline is the basis for GLaDOS, like Wheatley is the basis for evil Wheatley. GLaDOS' body causes the menace. I don't believe it is possible for GLaDOS to 'delete' Caroline. I think she's bluffing. Why else would she let Chell go like that? – Arda Xi 2 hours ago How can someone who GLaDOS doesn't know be a friend? :-/ – Tom Wijsman 2 hours ago @Arda Xi - I also wondered if it was really possible for GLaDOS to "delete" Caroline. Perhaps GLaDOS is bluffing. Or perhaps she herself thinks she deleted Caroline, but doesn't really know what she's talking about. It does appear that she's "compar…
@failbadp: I don't care about deletion either, it's all pointless discussion as there is no right or wrong. I'm merely protecting my vision to prevent it from being down-voted into oblivion, and I'm hoping that when it does I can still ask you for the answer to be removed because of peer pressure. :)
About around the time of the Portal 2 Announcement ARG, to the best of my knowledge it had become well established that Cave Johnson was Chell's father (with the latter being abducted by GLaDOS on Bring your Daughter to Work Day).
However, many months later, with the release of Portal 2, all suc...
