Since Portal 2's launch, the "Trading" tab of Robot Enrichment has been unavailable. A pop-up message reads "You'll be able to trade items soon!" When, exactly, will we be able to trade items? It's been two months.

A few years ago (~5?) I remember finding a flash board game that was very addicting, but I can't for the life of me remember the name. The board was a set of hexagonal tiles. You played Red vs Blue You placed 1 tile per turn. Tiles were numbered 1-20 By placing a tile next to enemy tiles with l...

So, I love about 73.4% of the music played on Final Fantasy Radio. We often rock out to it while writing code. It's pretty good, but we're looking for something better. Is there a station that sticks to more explorative / instrumental music and goes a little deeper into each album? For exampl...

Notch tweeted a couple of pictures a while ago, one of the 1.7 changelog blurred, one of a picture at night with a yellow dot at the left, which he then said that he fixed a bug and reposted the picture with the yellow dot gone. Notch said that some info from v1.7 can be acquired from these pict...

Upon character creation in Spiral Knights, you pick a design and a color. Are these attributes forever immutable, or does there exist an in-game way to change either option (short of creating a new character entirely)?

In late game, I feel that GP is quite useless: Great Scientist: All the tech has been (almost) researched, and there's no need of science now (unless you need a Point Victory). I usually sell all science building. Great Engineer: All Wonder has been done already. Great Merchant: Yes, still qui...

I've found various colored items in Dungeon Siege 3, I assume they denote some sort of rarity scale. Does anyone have a list of these various item types/ranks that can be found?

I loved the "solve puzzles in your own time" style of Portal 1+2 and I have some time to kill. I was wondering if there are other games in the same style, which would be fun for me to do? I like Civilization too, and have loved StarCraft and WarCraft 3 (but these are real time and I've found ...

I have a 3ds and I'm quite interested in getting Zelda for it. However most of my gaming time at the moment is on my commute to and from work. I have read that the targeting in Zelda uses the gyroscopes and can imagine that this will involve swinging the 3ds wildly around. This could either mak...

I can't get past the first level on Two Worlds 2 Castle Defense (http://store.steampowered.com/app/7530/ or http://www.twoworlds2.com/cd/about-en.html - DEMO), I die in 9th round or so and I have tried already many different combinations with no success at all...

I played a very whimsical isometric PC "adventure" game back in the mid 90s that I believe was from a French publisher. My memory is a bit foggy, but the game featured a rabbit-like human character that is being held captive by elephants (that walk on two legs). You escape from a prison cell, d...

I finally hit level 20, meaning I can start buying nice shiny new runes. But one question I have only found discussion (but no numbers/calculations) about is the potential damage mitigation of dodge vs armor. Leaving out Quints for the moment, if I got a full set of armor Marks, I'd have 8.19 e...

This recent game recommendation question asking for games similar to Portal has made me realize that an increasing number of questions closed as "game recommendation" have users posting game recommendations as comments to the askers question (effectively answering the users question). Should th...

I am having a bad time with my PS3 which I've had for about 2 years, PS3 slim with 120GB HDD. I've ran across a problem with my WiFi connecting to it. My PS3 doesn't accept my WPA2 key, I've changed it to a new key then my PS3 successfully connected to it. After 5 minutes it then drops connection...

I have played on ASBI servers where death camera is disabled. Also there is a nice feature when the last player dies you don't have to wait and look at the "Mission Failed" and "Statistics" window but the level restarts quickly, writing with yellow text "Forcing ready..." How do I create a serve...

Many items have UNIQUE Passive: Some Description as a part of their description. I understand that UNIQUE implies that you cannot have 2 of the same item with the same effect. What I am not sure about and haven't found information about is whether you can stack SIMILAR UNIQUE Passives. Boots, ...

My daughter is playing the Nintendo DSi game "My Baby 3 & Friends" and she is frustrated that she doesn't have points to 'buy' accessories in the game. Apparently you are supposed to be able to take pictures in the game and "send them to grandma" for points, but the "send a picture" options i...

I am not sure whether to separate this into two questions, as it's about three enemy types. Three enemy types usually spell my doom once I hit around level 13 or 14: Spiky: It reflects the exact amount of damage you deal to it. At high levels when the skull has HP over the excess of 100, it's ...

I've read all 484 pages of Professional XMPP and read countless forum threads regarding rosters + XMPP and this question is still something I am struggling to solve. I'm looking for insight on best practices, so I at least know which direction to go in. I'm building a cross-platform (web, iOS &a...

OK, I feel like this should be a question that I don't need to ask, but I couldn't find an explanation anywhere. I am playing the full version of Dungeon Siege 3 (not the demo, which doesn't allow saving). I walked up to a save point beacon, and the game popped up a little "hint" explaining tha...

When I run one of my games I get: Unable to initialize SDL: No available video device I think that this is due my built-in SIS graphics card, which doesn't have a driver. However, flash games play normally. Here is my X configuration file if it can help (self edited): Section "Device" ...

I cannot play Fallout 3. Whenever I click either the Fallout3.exe or falloutlauncher.exe and this message appears: No disc inserted. Please insert the original "Fallout 3" CD/DVD. Please have a look at http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=nodisc for further, more detailed information. I've seen...

I want to see the trajectory lines mentioned in developers commentary (youtube link) in Portal 2; developers used them to debug application. I was able to enable a console. I apologize but I found answer while typing this. The answer is to type "enable_debug_overlays 1".

A friend sugested me to play Portal 2 on Xbox. Since I don't know if I would like it or not, I decided to try a demo version before buying the game. So I checked the Xbox Live and I got frustrated when I noticed that there isn't any trial version of Portal 2 to download. The same happens with som...

It's rather obvious that they'll be at least some differences between them. Katarina's a rather big part of the main quest near the beginning with Lucas, but if I were to play it over again, I'm wondering if it's still mostly the same or if it's like an entirely different campaign, and whether or...

In the area of the Villa there are two treasure chests indicated on the map, as so: This screenshot was taken while I was on the stairs to the underground sanctuary, and the map items are lit up, which usually indicates they're at the same elevation as myself and so I presume they must be unde...

I see a lot of SC2 pros rallying all their workers to the left or right-most mineral patch. What are the benefits of doing so versus rallying to the middle patch or versus changing your rally point during the game? Thank you.

I was hopping from one question to another today and came across this question ... it's a perfectly good question about keyboard limitations, but it's tagged keyboard and keyboard-controls. I'm not entirely sure that there's a difference between the two tags in the context of gaming. Interesting...

I've found some related answers: I think I get maps and worlds, and I now know where single-player saves are located. I'm not sure I completely understand this answer about copying a multiplayer map to single-player, but in any case, I'm only concerned about multiplayer survival mode: Suppose I...

After a week of trying, I still can barely win 3 last missions at Casual difficulty. I tried every tactics I could think about, but I can't win these 3 mission at Normal and Hardcore (I once win a mission in Normal, by lucky, but now I can't do it again). Can you please give me some advice? Than...

If a minecart is at rest on a deactivated powered rail, simply powering the rail will not make it move. The minecart must be kickstarted somehow, e.g. by a player pushing it in the desired direction. I'd like to make a traditional train station, where the carts stop briefly at a platform before...

I have been enjoying Ticket To Ride on the iPad for a couple days now and I cannot set the difficulty of the oponent I am going up against. I seem to face off against a mix of the same three bots, each of which sound like they are of novice-level difficulty. Is there a setting I am missing, or am...
