I'm on my second fortress, and I've encountered a problem I didn't really expect: I'm chronically short of wood. I embarked into a forested area, so I had plenty to begin with, but now I don't have enough to do all the crazy stuff I want to. There are plenty of saplings on the surface, so I hav...

Starting with 1.8 prerelease, Minecraft players earn XP when they kill mobs! What are the benefits of leveling up? More health? More damage? Larger inventory?

When you're looking at one and it's running at you really fast, you know you're in deep trouble. The question would be what is the best tactic to kill those because they seem to teleport behind you or on your side which is kinda hard.

I noticed that the weapons in Dead Island have prefixes on their names. The ones I've seen so far are: Damaging Feeble Tiring Weak Flimsy Spiteful Disabling In examining the items, it seems that the names are related to the most extreme stats, such as: Flimsy weapons have very low Durabilit...

I want a software to manage all of my flash games. I am using a software called "Standalone-Flash-player", but it doesn't have any option to manage games.

Right now the Minecraft Beta 1.8 Pre-Release is out and I went to try it out. I realised that food only recovers your food bar not health bar and if the food bar is full, you recover health slowly, does this mean that we cannot directly recover health in Minecraft Beta 1.8? So, when we are fight...

A while ago (I think about 15 years ago) There was a tank shooter game that i played with my dad. I do not remember much from the game, just few still images still remain. The game was a 3D game where you control either a red turret or a blue turret in a grey polygon field. You would take turns ...

I am playing as Xian. Is there a way to kill thugs without being hit by it? It seems to take 10-15 weapon throws to kill the thug as Xian. Is there a better way to kill it?

More Cryptozookeeper: I was going after the ape in the corporate lab when I found a woman hanging from the ceiling of a work room, partially encased in crystals. Scanning her reveals that she's still alive, only unconscious. However, most attempts to interact with her are failures. Not to gloss ...

I seem to recall this one FPS I played around 1999 - 2003 where there is a apartment room with a corpse lying face down with a stake at his back. And writing on the floor made by the dead man before dying with the word "Buffy" something something. Here are some FPS I can recall during that perio...

What was an Atari 8 bit game where... - you drive a car (or something alike) alone in a road with curves. - The view is like 3D (so, it is not a flat view from up to down). - Bouncing balls (spheres) were jumping over the road to you. - It has good music. I played it on a 65XE somwhere between 1...

I was playing a Steam game yesterday and remember taking a Steam screenshot with the F12 key. I distinctly remember the "shutter" sound and the Steam popup which appeared with the small version of the image. But checking the screenshots section of my Steam profile today, I can only see old screen...

I've not played Minecraft in a while so I'm not sure if this is new in 1.8, but I don't seem to have the shearing touch anymore with sheep. Is there a new way to get wool or do I have to murder all the sheep?

With the Minecraft release in the near-future, would it be worth it to systematically go through all the old questions (say, 621 of them) when games are officially released and make sure they are still relevant? This is a problem with any game that receives updates to a point, but Minecraft has ...

I've seen a couple of videos of people sprinting in Minecraft (1.8). How do you do so?

I have heard that we can fly in creative mode of Beta 1.8, how do you do that?

Sometimes I just can't figure out how the unit strength value is calculated in combat. For instance, yesterday I was sinking poor out-dated barbarian ships with my sub, and when peeking at the combat preview I saw this: Why is the caravel's strength listed as 6 and not 15? And why is the sub's...

I'm trying to find this abandonware game where you play some sort of a medieval townsman and you buy all sorts of buildings, run for offices and marry you kids to other nobleman. I'm pretty sure that the title has a year in it and that it's from the '90. Anyone knows what game I'm talking about? ...

I usually run a good fiscal policy so my gold is always positive. I've read somewhere that if you get to 0 gold, units start to sell themselves. Are there any other repercussions? Also, what happens if you have a trade agreement with someone and you need to pay them X gold per turn, and you just ...

Yesterday, when I was playing as Polynesia, I tried to understand if Ironclads will be stronger for Polynesia than for other civs. On the one hand Kamehameha has the wayfaring trait, allowing all units to enter coast and ocean tiles from the get-go. On the other hand, the Ironclad explicitly cann...

I have seen the Enderman pick up grass blocks but I want to know what blocks they can pick up and what block they can't pick up.

I like the idea of LoU to make never-ending-game but I do not like the game because of financial discrimination, more here. I am looking for a similar never-ending game with co-operation but hopefully finitely and on the board or in such a way that I can research the game independently (without h...

So far in Dead Island I've noticed white, green, blue, and purple items. These seem to indicate different rarities, similar to the classification system used in Borderlands, but I don't know what these colors actually mean. Is green more rare than blue? What are the different rarity colors?

I've already altered the FOV in Dead Island, but I'm noticing that the constant "wobble" of the screen when making attacks is getting a bit disorienting and distracting. I'm OK with the camera shaking and such when not-so-common events happen (even getting knocked down is fine), but the constant ...

There are a number of behaviors I've seen slimes exhibit that I think are bugs, but I'm not sure of. Which of these behaviors, if any, are intentional and which are bugs: Not suffocating when trapped in walls Not burning when in lava (or at least not dying, sometimes the burning animations show...

Yeah I just got Deus Ex: Human Revolution downloaded....It told me I needed a thing called Steam. So I downloaded that, made an account, linked the game to the Steam thing, and now when I play it brings me to the Deus Ex: Human Revolution home page on steam, telling me I can buy the game again......

More Cryptozookeeper: my collection of chimerical creatures is swelling out of control. I've got a rough idea of which ones are strongest, but there's so many of them now that I should probably take the time to scan them with my third eye and do a statistical comparison. Unfortunately, the slick...

Some have reported already to have found those in the pre-release and the option to create them is ON. I've tried to create about 20 maps and been looking everywhere and haven't found one. Where do they spawn ? Which environment (biomes) they live ? What's the best way to find it ?

I've been bitten by a blue spider in a dungeon and now I'm poisoned. I'm taking too much damage when poisoned and I want to be cure. I know when eating rotten flesh, I can be poisoned too so it could help for those who have eat it. What's the remedy ?

Wikipedia on Wolfenstein 3D development mentioned, that "... early concept of the game included some innovative stealth concepts—dragging dead bodies, swapping uniforms with fallen guards, silent attacks". It seems very interesting. Reason for not having it here was, that it "drastically slowed t...

I just came across #5, but the last one I found was #3. I looked through most of the quest locations in the city already, but I can't find it. Where is recording #4?

Can we starve to death in minecraft ? If the character have an empty hunger bar, will the health bar diminiss until his death ?

You can turn in food and water (and I guess alcohol/champagne too, but I haven't turned in a lot of these) but there doesn't seem to be any end to how much you can turn in. So far the reward has just been cash each time. Is this just your standard fare repeated-quest turn in, essentially giving ...

In the first bonus mine, after finding my way through a veritable maze of impenetrable rock formations, I managed to catch up with Satan. What on Earth is he doing down here? Does he have any kind of significance?

I remember playing this game sometime between 2003 and 2006. It was a top-down shmup (shoot-em-up) game with full 3D graphics. I think it had some camera settings, so the camera could position itself in an angle, instead of straight top-down (not very sure about this camera setting; but it cert...
