Q: Is it possible to beat DOOM in nightmare mode?

So I have the shareware version of DOOM 1.9, and have been playing it for a while now. I have beaten it (rather easily) on all skill levels except Nightmare. I have gotten past Missions 1 (Hangar) and 2 (Nuclear Plant), but am currently stuck on Mission 3 (Toxin Refinery). My question is; has any...

Q: Is it possible to save co-op progress in Portal 2 on the 360?

This is basically the same question as Is progress in the coop campaign in Portal 2 saved?, but that one is PC-specific and I'm asking about the Xbox 360 version. The major difference is that there's no such thing as a Steam Cloud on 360. So, is this possible, and if so, how is it done?

Q: Is there a macro player/recorder for games?

A few games make their whole point in levels that are easy to figure out but hard to pull off. VVVVVV, Super Meat Boy and the Bit.Trip games fall squarely into this category, for example. You're basically expected to put in the obviously correct sequence of button presses and depresses at the rig...

Q: Which tag? wii-u or wiiu

New console incoming new 'which tag' quesion. wii-u or wiiu On official website is alwasy written Wii U, with single space between Wii and U, so I would suggest to use wii-u tag. What do you think?

Are sugar and wine a resource in Civ 5?

Also hi @FallenAngelEyes.

FallenAngelEyes

Heyas

Also yes, they are

So I guess this is an answer, although perhaps incorrect or incomplete or sucky:

How do you cope with unhappiness? Sugar helps a lot. Also wine. It's just like real life!

Is it acceptable to have the game title in the question title if it increases google-abilty? I know in general we tend to eschew that in favor of just tagging.

Q: Witcher 2 - What are the 16 endings?

Needless to say, this question is full of spoilers. What are the 16 possible endings?

@FallenAngelEyes The site does that for us for popular enough tags, so for e.g. the witcher 2, it's completely redundant

FallenAngelEyes

This is for Space Invaders Infinity Gene

...which also is too long for a tag, so suggestions on how to tag it would also be welcome. space-invaders-ig? si-infinity-gene?

The exception is if someone adds the spoiler tag, that one very often ends up in the html title. I hope they fix that at some point.

ROFL

12:17 PM

@FallenAngelEyes Instead of like Extrakun's "game - title" syntax, use "In <game>, how do I..." or "How do I... in <game>" as your title. Make it organic.

If you do it like that, it's not only acceptable but endorsed by nigh every community, nigh every moderator, the entire Stack Exchange Team, and explicitly by Jeff himself.

FallenAngelEyes

I was just worried about the title getting... really long, considering the name.

@FallenAngelEyes Don't worry about it.

A clever DNS prank.

A name like that still won't compete against Phantasmagoria of Flower View.

FallenAngelEyes

What about the tag? I checked the various Meta discussions about "game-abbreviation" or "abbreviation-subtitle" but there didn't seem to be a consensus

12:20 PM

...or MMT.

I consider abbreviation-subtitle to be superior, but "SI" for "Space Invaders" doesn't sound like a solid idea.

FallenAngelEyes

Yeah :/

Yeah, it won't compete against Mukashi Mukashi aru Tokoro ni Totetsumonaku Naka no Warui Twintail no Shimai Himesama ga Irasshaimashita to sa, but there's a big reason we use an abbreviation for it.

@FallenAngelEyes Meta thread. I'm pretty baffled as to how to do it for this one.

whereas "NFS" for "Need for Speed" is "obviously" okay.

FallenAngelEyes

@Grace, for the proposal, what about games that just barely came out this month? I was going to propose Infamous 2 but I didn't realize that was out in the US already. It's not out in the EU till tomorrow.

@FallenAngelEyes Stick it in there for now. Ivo says they're okay, I'm willing to experiment. Note that we can't preorder it for you, though, considering it's coming out tomorrow.

But remember, this'll be your only proposal for this week.

Also, I like how badp's answer to his newest question is TASs. It's very humorous.

12:23 PM

@GraceNote except you can't really TAS without emulation :)

@badp I know. The humor is in that you're pretty much engrossed in the TAS community, so it's not exactly news to you, is all. ♪

FallenAngelEyes

Hm, gotcha.

Also, man, I am tempted to get a Kinect for this one single game. :(

Oooh, maybe I should put that game in the proposal... though I dunno if anyone else would want to play it...

@FallenAngelEyes I bought both a 360 and a PS3, two years apart, because I pre-ordered a single game each for them prior to owning them.

FallenAngelEyes

It's Child of Eden that I want. It was made by the guy who did Rez.

I can think of about 19 people off the top of my head that want that game.

FallenAngelEyes

12:27 PM

@GraceNote But are any of them on this site?

Well, I think I'll make that my proposal instead, on the long shot. :)

@FallenAngelEyes At least one of those 19. ♪

I can't really promise that we'll be able to purchase a Kinect for the candidates, but I'd say it's worth a shot.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote It wouldn't be necessary to play, as it's playable without also, so...

But experience wise, the Kinect version looks superior.

Probably

I played the demo for PS2 like 100 times until I finally decided to get the actual game

I'm a pretty big fan of rhythm games and I think the whole "synaesthetic gaming experience" is really cool.

Haha nice

Yeah, Rhythm's also one of my favorite genres

FallenAngelEyes

Speaking of whicih, Beat Hazard updated recently, I have to check that out still.

I was disappointed in Beat Hazard

It's okay, entertaining enough and I can play my own music. The "swooshiness" of the bullets has always messed me up though.

It was so annoying having to collect powerups just to be able to hear the music in the background

FallenAngelEyes

12:43 PM

Never felt right

So the only reason I'm interested in Kinect is for Child of Eden, the only reason I'm interested in Playstation Move is for PixelJunk Lifelike, and the main reason I'd like a PS Vita is for Sound Shapes.

My rhythm/music game obsession is getting expensive. :P

I think music creation though that type of thing is really neat. Though I'm also someone who, if I had enough money, would buy a Tenori-on...

I'd buy all the sickest synth machine/drum machines and gadgets if I had money

FallenAngelEyes

Hehe

also PixelJunk looks really cool

FallenAngelEyes

12:51 PM

PixelJunk makes a bunch of different little indie games

Think they're only available on PSN

Lifelike looks really cool then.

Is it, by any chance, an FPS?

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote Will do! (though I despise retailer specific preordering, but that's a whole other rant, and I also wouldn't be able to get this poster anyway because I can't play North American 360 games ;_;)

360 got those PAL/NTSC restrictions right

@FallenAngelEyes Me neither, as it were.

But having a US PS3 helps off-set that.

FallenAngelEyes

@MrME Well I can play NTSC things if they're not region-locked. Ghostbusters: The Video Game was actually region free and the NTSC version was the only version they had at our store.

Yeah, sounds exactly like the 360 I have, except yours is probably European.

FallenAngelEyes

1:05 PM

@GraceNote Ah, hai, you have a Japanese 360, if I remember right?

Correct.

I stoped playing on console couple years ago. The PC is now my platform ^^

I have an invisible 360. I keep it right here next to my...*sob*...PS3! And my $100000 drum kit ;_;

Which is ultimately a yarn shame, because Metal Wolf Chaos is not forwards compatible, and that would've been probably the most crowning reason to get a JP 360.

Winter seems to be a much busier season for Amazon US, what with all the US holidays then.

@badp Do you own any of the other Bit.Trip games? I have Fate on WiiWare but I was wondering how the rest were.

@FallenAngelEyes I have Beat.

FallenAngelEyes

Ah, okay, just that one?

There's just two on PC, Beat and Runner.

I don't like Runner.

I have Runner; I enjoyed it, although it's more frustrating

FallenAngelEyes

I'm pondering whether I should get the ones on Wiiware that are not yet out on PC or wait for PC

1:53 PM

@FallenAngelEyes They control differently. It appears Beat is more easily mastered with the wiimote rather than with the mouse

I haven't tried both, however.

I know the iPad version isn't great.

Q: How should we tag Space Invaders Infinity Gene?

Yet another game with a tag longer than the 25 character limit. I'm having trouble figuring out how we should do this one. In our past discussions regarding titles with more than 25 characters, we seem to have come to a consensus of handling individually. I think. We don't really have an accepted...

discussion tags

FallenAngelEyes

Hm. What's Runner's main gist?

You have to jump, duck, kick, shield, etc. as you navigate the map

Fixed side-scroller where your character runs and you have to press buttons to avoid obstacles.

Collect coins for bonus levels and collect glowy-orb things to increase your multiplier + upgrade the BG music

FallenAngelEyes

Ah okay. So... kind of Robot Unicorn Attack-esque?

1:57 PM

Yeah, pretty much, except fixed levels instead of automatically generated.

Also rhythm-based.

FallenAngelEyes

This looks amazingly trip-tastic

If I ever get high the first thing I'm doing is playing Bit.Trip games.

FallenAngelEyes

hahaha

For some odd reason, I'm surprised you haven't

also surprised you wouldn't choose Rez first

so, if you liked Fate you'll like Beat, although it's got less tricks up its sleeve

given that Fate is pretty much Beat "reloaded"

FallenAngelEyes

2:00 PM

Well I have Beat on Steam and Fate on Wiiware

Then you might like Core.

It is much more button based however.

Otherwise there's 2D Fate, aka Void.

@badp Apparently the drop cap was reset today but it's still set to double drop week

FallenAngelEyes

I'd really like to get all of them, honestly, but I'm mainly waffling over which platform. :/

@ThomasMcDonald \o/

@FallenAngelEyes 3DS is getting a bundle

"Bit Trip Saga"

user30

So stuff is still dropping at 2x rate, until tomorrow I guess (or the potential update today)

2:02 PM

It should be already out in the US.

Kind of DDR like, but with dots instead of arrows

@Mvy Core is, yeah. I'm not sure if I like that.

In other games you just have to align the paddle and the beats beat themselves.

user30

@badp forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1923274

FallenAngelEyes

Yeah, I heard about that, but I can't really afford a 3DS at the moment :( I've never purchased new handhelds/consoles on release date or even release year.

@ThomasMcDonald So if one played 22 hours today..?

user30

2:03 PM

@badp Well, I guess

user30

Although I'm not sure entirely how the double drop works

user30

I presumed it was still the same time limit, just double possibility, because stuff was dropping at a much faster rate than normal

Speaking of DDR, Hottest Party is the most annoying series

There is also Audiosurf if you like to play with music. And it's no more rythm driven (at least not directly)

I can understand the logic of switching to that type of music but the game itself lacks almost every single feature of modern DDR games

2:06 PM

@Mvy I do have Audiosurf. I like that too for first playthrough of music I just acquired

I think B.T. Core has the best music of the series. All three songs are great.

FallenAngelEyes

@Mvy Yeah, I've got that already. It was the game I ended up signing up for Steam for.

Never tested. I just saw the video of Core.

"Entitled DISCOVERY, it continues Commander Video's story, as he attempts to gain confidence having been born at the end of BEAT" what.

@Mana Spoiler alert

but he was flying around in all of BEAT's cutscenes! :(

I don't understand :(((((((

2:09 PM

There is a plot in the series, it only becomes clearer later on.

Apparently.

I guess.

I mean, the only way one can really infer about what happens in Beat is by playing Fate and the game before it.

The 1D shooter thingadongdong

...

uhhhh, that one is Fate?

1D?

Sorry @FallenAngelEyes I thought you were talking about Flux, not Fate

FallenAngelEyes

@Mvy You're bound to a track as the game scrolls, so you can't make your own decision about which way you move, only which way you shoot

user30

Also, Mr. @badp, did you find any hats last week?

@ThomasMcDonald Nope.

2:13 PM

@badp is there a BIT.TRIP soundtrack?

Nowhere as rad.

I want all 15 minutes of all songs with all beats :/

user30

Ooh, Duke Nukem Forever tomorrow

FallenAngelEyes

@badp That'd be awesome

2:14 PM

Which is why I have an hilariously incomplete playlist on youtube of videos of perfect runs

FallenAngelEyes

Don't be so sure @ThomasMcDonald. Nobody knows what can happen in one day

FallenAngelEyes

I wish all the PC versions of the Bit.Trip games were out so I could ask a comparison question about all of them :(

I intend to play it just so I can be done with that damn series. The ending of the second one still makes me raise a brow, heh.

@badp FATE sounds really cool.

FallenAngelEyes

@Mana Fate is pretty fun, I like it a lot

@badp Actually, could you link that playlist of yours with the perfect runs? That'd be neat to have

2:55 PM

@FallenAngelEyes Those links I posted above should be relative to the playlist

at any rate:

user30

@badp Actually, I'm not convinced it is still double drop.

Like most sites, it’s hard to figure out the number of users on Stack Exchange. The widest possible number is the number of unique visitors, most of whom just read our content and move on. That number is now around 19,000,000 according to Google Analytics or 14,000,000 according to Quantcast – the difference comes from the fact that Quantcast has some “de-dupe” technology to try to estimate the number of human beings while Google Analytics just counts unique cookies.

Q: How can I drain an area easily?

I accidentally flooded my mine. I am yet to find sand (early part of the game). How can I easily clear out water which is about 15 deep?

@badp I believe I told you that before.

@Powerlord nope, afaik you told me the contrary

I understood spies turned their true color immediately when ubered from what you said.

@badp I'd never tell you that simply because it's wrong.

Instead, spies turn their true color immediately anyway because once ubered they'd like to go on a murderous killing spree

...at least this one spy did, so I quickly gave a real teammate 7 seconds of uber.

I try to keep the medic ubering me as long as possible, particularly if my disguise is Pyro.

5:08 PM

btw have you also noticed the class distributions between drops in this double drop week wasn't quite even?

perhaps my dupe inventory would look different had I not crafted those six dupes

Oh blah, I forgot the new executive secretary wants hours turned in on Thursdays now instead of Fridays.

but I have 5 for pyro, 4 for heavy, 3 for sniper, 2 for scout demo and soldier, 1 for engie spy and medic.

@Powerlord Have fun filling in spreadsheets.

The classes that have more items will have more drops.

The classes with the least items are... Engineer, Medic, Spy. So, this isn't really surprising.

I see.

If anything, the Engineer should be far less than the others, as he only has 5 items.

5:12 PM

Actually, one of the very few new items I netted from this double drop week was for Engie.

(Frontier Justice, Wrangler, Gunslinger, Southern Hospitality, Jag)

(Southern Hospitality.)

The other new item I got was Natascha.

Oh look, a second ubersaw. adds to dupe list

May 26 at 15:35, by Powerlord

To my knowledge, the Spy get ubered with his medic's color.

@GraceNote Exactly. Like I said, I already said it. :P

I'm not sure why I prefixed it with "To my knowledge" since I knew it for a fact.

5:32 PM

It appears that drop criteria have changed

games in local mode, which used to work, no longer cause drops

Although I'm saving the Gold color in case Valve relents and adds weapon painting.

Of course, if they do, I'll need a description tag to remove the "Not actually golden." description on my "Golden Gun" renamed Ambassador.

On another subject, I noticed that Nintendo has a nasty tendency to continue their console series on the 3DS. First it was Paper Mario, then Luigi's Mansion.

@MichaelMrozek Ooh, you signed up? ♪

@MichaelMrozek LoL e-mailed me about my joining. 32 hours later.

@ThomasMcDonald Yes, thanks.

@GraceNote I haven't decided if I like it, I only played a couple tutorial games. I keep thinking I'm doing really well, and then suddenly it's like "warning, your summoner is too far forward!" and about a quarter second later the screen goes grey and I'm like "wait, did I just die?"

@badp I didn't think they emailed me, but I just noticed I got a welcome email about 2 days after I registered.

@MichaelMrozek If it helps, try hitting "Y". This forces the camera to stay on your champion so you won't end up losing track. I use this for most of my games.

@MichaelMrozek I'm having a lot of that too. Typically the turret just started shooting at you. They deal an incrediblion damage per second until you go behind a corner or outside the ridiculously large range.

@GraceNote Yeah, that helps a lot.

Is there an OS X client?

7:31 PM

Your warning is a very thin line that moves from whatever target to you.

I like looking at the other lanes to see what's happening, but apparently that's a bad idea

@Brant I think it's just Windows

Dang.

If you have the camera lock, then if you hold down the mouse button when clicking on the Minimap, it'll move the camera over there.

@Brant Yeah, but there's support on the download page for more than just that

perhaps there's a beta client or something.

It is a good idea to watch the other lanes, but generally you do it only by the minimap. Takes some learning to do that, though, so in early games it's not a bad idea to first stay focused on your own lane.

7:32 PM

It's got a "Language and Operating System" dropdown, and the choices are "North America, Windows" and "European, Windows"

So assuming you use Windows and speak either North America or European, you're good to go

Chances are if there is one, it won't hit until around midnight UTCish.
