Q: What does this blue symbol mean?

pixelI have just done a variety of events in the Straits of Devastation with 30-40 random people and upon finishing I noticed that a few of these had a blue symbol above their heads, kind of like an arrow pointing down at a chevon: I am assuming that this is something to do with the auto-grouping f...

Q: Why the AI does not surrender in StarCraft II?

Aleksandar SavkovI'm trying to achieve winning a game vs. AI under 5 min. And I've managed to basically win the game very early, but the AI won't surrender, so I need more than 7 min to take out all the buildings. I'm using drones and zerglings if that is of any consequence.

 
@murgatroid99 Yes.

Q: Hyron Project - where did the idea come from?

user38152I like the idea of the "Hyron project" very much. Does anybody know if it was borrow from sf literature (from where) or is original to Deus ex?

I'm just not sure whether this is close enough to questions about "Plot and characters in games" to be OK
Also, ugh I hate when people do this:

A: What do noteblocks do?

polling11Basically as was said before, when activated they make a noise depending on what type of block they're on. most people use them for doorbells and songs, or I suppose you could use them as a building block although I think that'd be stupid.

It has a strict subset of the information in the existing answer
 
@murgatroid99 largely, I'd say this question is not constructive

@pixel yeah, that might be better

On the grand heirarchy of hotels, "Provides Free Whiskey" is a good way to get to the top of the list.

@Wipqozn I must ask... why do you keep answering your own questions kupo?
 
Joel Spolsky on May 21, 2012

Remember this old picture?

What’s that “Blog” circle supposed to be about, you ask? WHERE’S THE BLOGGING?

Since Stack Overflow launched, we’ve been trying to explain that it’s not just a Q&A platform: it’s also a place where you can publish things that you’ve learned: recipes, FAQs, HOWTOs, walkthroughs, and even bits of product documentation, as long you format it as a question and answer.

As Jeff wrote:

if you have a question that you already know the answer to …

@Krazer Dats why.
 
@Krazer because it makes the internet better
 
I am listening to ESG and drinking Whiskey. This is a pretty perfect night. Just sayin'.

iberI help defend Whiterun (Imperial) and after few minutes I have recieved a information and 90 gold becouse Severio Pelagia died. I don't remember guy so I find him at Skyrim Wiki and found out that becouse of that I will have problems quest. Are there a list of such quests that you "must-do-befor...

 
@murgatroid99 I'm just saying that instead of summarizing wikis/gamefaqs, some of these sources should be verified within the actual game, as there maybe inaccuracies.
 
1:24 AM
@pixel Well that is all you are being sold for so ... yeah :)
 
@Krazer oh, I didn't realize that about the answers. I thought your concern was about the self-answering itself
 
@murgatroid99 I guess just I wanted the answers to be just better than a summary of the source rather than me questioning self-answers.
 
2:03 AM
@Krazer Because I have a problem, and since I don't want to wait for someone to answer questions I post I just track down the answers myself.
Furthermore, doing extensive testing yourself is redundant if the answer exits elsewhere. Take this one for example:

Q: Is there any purpose to the three questions asked when making a new game?

WipqoznAfter deciding a name for your character, you are then asked three questions: this summer I'm going to, as a personal goal I want to, and next year I promise not to. I assume these questions serve a purpose, but the game doesn't give any hint as to what it is, nor does the manual seem to contain ...

I tested out a few of them, and they work.
 
@Wipqozn but... why ask if you can't wait? I thought tortoises were all for slow and steady~
 
I'm not going to test every single one, that's just pointless.
@Krazer That's why I ask and answer...?
The purpose of the ask and answer is that you had a problem, and SE didn't have the answer. You managed to find it after testing and/or research, so you post it here for others to find.
 
@Wipqozn For this answer I actually did test all of the possibilities, the Clan Privilages choices were a bit off as they started with the JP version
 
Hello hello
 
2:19 AM
@Wipqozn I guess I just don't quite understand the point of summarizing a wiki or faq link should answer provide a better answer than the link or just provide a good summary?
 
@Krazer If you want to post a separate answer with the list you compiled yourself for the version you're using, you're more than welcome to. Like I said, I tested a few of them, and they worked. I'll modify my answer to reflect that it's for the Japanese version.
 
@Krazer Links can die, and that ruins link-only answers.
 
Aww, my Hitler message got pushed off the starred list.
 
What's the purpose of asking and answering any question if the answer can be found else where? It's to:
A) Have it here, where it will (ideally) be easier to find
B) Have it more reliable. The community based system we run ensures reliability, and that the answer we have are accurate. Take my answer for example, I found that faq, tested a few of them, and thought it worked. Due to our community format you were able to point out that list is accurate for the *Japanese* copy of the game.
 
@Wipqozn I'm just concerned that sometimes answer are not entirely accurate, like when I was looking to see how I can get the esper smash gauge summons in FFTA2, I got a list of the ones I can get through the tournaments, but they neglected to mention the ones you can though missions.
 
2:28 AM
@Krazer Which is why we have the community driven system, so we can detect those inaccuracies. Accuracy will be a concern whether I discovered the answer purely from in-game testing, or through a combination of online research and some testing to verify it's accuracy.
 
great
my new internet connection has died
 
@Wipqozn Pls teach me, Professor.
 
@pixel Mine isn't so great tonight either.
 
@PicnicButton yeah but mine is weird symptoms
the connection is there, the router won't pick it up
I think BT's router has died in some unexplained manner
 
2:31 AM
@pixel Cry me a river.
 
@Krazer Are you currently playing FFTA2?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz probably beats the connection I'm on atm
 
@Wipqozn Yes, trying to get all the Scions.
 
@pixel This one drops randomly too
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz so does this one
I've just spent 60 minutes on the phone to some guy in India
who insisted I unplug and replug everything in
after I opened with the line "the bt home hub is not detecting any cables being plugged into it, if I test with another device then it all works fine"
 
2:34 AM
@Krazer Nifty. Considering it's age I figured I'd be the only one playing.
@BenBrocka gave me the itch for a turn-based strategy...
 
@pixel Right, but I suspect you at least get decent speeds when it's not dropping on you
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz one second
 
@PicnicButton this
 
@Wipqozn That game and Jump Ultimate Stars are favorites for me on long trips/waits.
 
2:35 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz slightly better than yours
apparently I should just be able to plug in this router, swap the username/passwords over, and continue
 
Hah, I can't even get speedtest.net to load.
 
> At this point it’s probably important to note that the study has not yet been peer reviewed and Ketchum has thus far refused to release her data, explain her methodology or say where she got the “Sasquatch DNA samples” in the first place.
> For her part Ketchum, a Texas veterinarian who claims among her bona fides “27 years of research in genetics, including forensics,” wants Sasquatch to be immediately afforded civil liberties and protected by state and federal governments as an indigenous people.
 
Hey, that's not as bad as I thought it was...
 
 Oh, and those mysterious third-species males who were supposedly picking up human women on some kind of proto-Craigslist? According to a blogger and Bigfoot enthusiast named Robert Lindsay, earlier drafts of Ketchum’s study claimed they were angels.

see
I told them there was nothing wrong with the connection itself
just direct pppoe, no more router problems
 
There's no way I'm getting 0.4 Mbs a second right now.
 
pretty sure this is faster than I was using a router
 
@RavenDreamer She's so credible.
 
@pixel Gimme.
 
@pixel This is just unfair.
 
2:44 AM
It's fun when you watch the download speed graph over time.
You can see exactly when they start throttling you.
 
oh god, direct pppoe exposes a minor nightmare
I'm glad I checked that
I had no firewall enabled :)
 
Well ladies and gents, I'm heading off. So you know what that means!
 
@Wipqozn Hahaha, awesome!
It's so hard to make posts... all of the answers on most questions are already pretty good...

user15026
@SaintWacko Its no use comparing against anyone in Europe. Their internet will likely always be better. XD
 
2:57 AM
@AshleyNunn Yeah, I know :(
US internet speeds are miserable compared to the rest of the world
 
user15026
Yeah, canadian ones arent much better
 
Mine is terrible.
 
Also, there was a delicious champagne punch at the party I was at
I am in a good mood
And in an even better mood because it turns out my serpentine belt didn't break, it just slipped off somehow
 
user15026
@SaintWacko Those all sound like good things :D
 
Anyway, I'm out.

My happy does not like this
 
user15026
@SaintWacko Aw no must keep the happy happy is fuuuuun
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, I'm debating whether to start playing BL2, or whether that would interfere with my happy
Guess I'll try it and see
 
user15026
3:04 AM
@SaintWacko Hm, this is a very good debate XD I have never played BL2, so I am not a good judge. When I am happy I end up playing ridiculous cute things
 
Gunzerking doesn't require as much thought as other classes, at least :D
 
user15026
@SaintWacko This is good!
 
@AshleyNunn I should probably play something like plants vs zombies, but I can't stand the incredibly low resolution
 
user15026
@SaintWacko Hm.
 
user15026
I would play like Kirby or something, myself - him sucking stuff up always makes me giggle
 
3:05 AM
It is also incredibly amusing to hear the gunfire and screams from BL2 juxtaposed with the christmas music I'm playing
 
user15026
@SaintWacko giggles Oh Christmas tree, o Christmas BOOOOOm
 
@AshleyNunn Exactly!
 
user15026
@SaintWacko That sounds AWESOME
 
Then TSO starts playing and it just makes you feel badass
 
I wish there was context for that, but by the time I found it I'd forget about that pic.

RT if you're excited for Christmas or if you have an active warrant in the state of Arizona
 
@AshleyNunn That sounds awesome. I'll have to check it out later. Right now I'm listening to that one hawaiian christmas song
 
user15026
@SaintWacko the music I linked features guns, an air raid siren, cannons, a guy on a megaphone pretending to be Lenin, accordions, and regular orchestra stuff.
 
@AshleyNunn Yes, I will definitely listen to that
 
user15026
@fbueckert OMG THE SUNGLASSES
 
3:31 AM
@AshleyNunn Incorrect. That would be this one:
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That is also pretty awesome, but mine has air raid sirens! and guns!
 
@AshleyNunn Also this one:
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That is AWESOME
 
@AshleyNunn Also also:
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That is a thing of beauty. :D

@AshleyNunn Also also also:
 
user15026

A) It accelerates downwards.
B) The rod holds the portal up.
C) Either the rod is severed where the portal used to be or it doesn't let you shoot another.
 
@AshleyNunn Note my favorite muppet cameo at 3:00!

@LessPop_MoreFizz Totally spotted that!

@AshleyNunn Delicious beeker!
I am still bitter that the Electric Mayhem Live tour never happened. :(
 
user15026
4:03 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz That would have been all sorts of amazing
 
@AshleyNunn Do you know the details?
@AshleyNunn My Morning Jacket were going to 'be' the Electric Mayhem and play live backstage. They were writing a whole album of material for the tour and everything.
Several of the songs ended up on circuital.
 
user15026
Seriously? Man. If only. That would have been beautiful.
 
^^ That was an Electric Mayhem song.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That is a very trippy video but I love the song now and it makes me really wish that had happened (the tour)
 
@AshleyNunn This was also an Electric Mayhem song:

Blues Brothers Homage best Homage.

Muppets Take Manhattan is the best of the muppet films, fyi
 
I am laughing to stop from crying.

user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Good to know.maybe I will start with it! :)
 
4:28 AM
I spent the past week trying to implement a collision detection algorithm... but it wasn't working.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Also, this is very catchy and shall be stuck in my head
 
So I spend the weekend starting from scratch with a different method.
And I got the same (perceived erroneous) results.
So I check what data I'm using...
and the @#$*ing data is wrong.
So... no error.
Just human error.

@LessPop_MoreFizz This is the best thing I have heard ever.
 
Have you linked Beaker's Ode to Joy, yet?

so it is.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Now I want a cheesecake. "Cheesecake gobble gobble Cheesecake gobble gobble cheesecake"
 
@AshleyNunn The funny thing about the cheesecake song is that it basically sounds exactly like the original by Louis Armstrong:
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz It really does. :D Love it.
 
Was LessPop giving us a concert?
 
4:38 AM

Q: In FarCry 3 is there an easier way of finding your kills than stumbling upon the body?

James JohnsonI often lose my kills in the grass and brush, even after tagging them with the camera or by aiming at them. Is there any better way of finding them than having to search? Even with the flashing texture, I often I can't see it until I'm right on top of the corpse.

@fbueckert Oh, people.
 
Anyone hear about the whole Shining Force video debacle between Youtube user videos and SEGA? It's pretty messed up...
 
@Krazer Streisand effect incoming!
 
@fbueckert I'm very curious to see if this escalates or just fades away
 
user15026
@fbueckert Yeah, that is pretty much what is going to happen here
 
@Krazer My money's on just fades away.
It's a pretty stupid PR move on SEGA's part, but it's not like the Shining Force games were all that good to begin with.
If anything, Squeenix needs to get knocked upside the head for STILL using stupid site countdowns to boring stuff.

Q: Does bonus critical damage on one weapon affect crits with the other weapon while dual-wielding?

FishI was wondering whether bonus critical damage on weapons such as Steelfang (http://torchlight2armory.com/item?i=-3389463337053821468) also affects your other weapon. It's difficult for me to test this since my Berserker is almost execute capped and it's hard to tell the numbers apart for sure. ...

 
@AshleyNunn have you gotten Dream Drop Distance yet? I'm unsure of whether I should get it or not...

@Krazer I haven't, no - I want to finish the first two first. I have heard very mixed things about it.

Q: Is Dead Island meant to be played with friends?

Q: What's the most effective non-stealth hand-to-hand combat strategy for a fort captain?

Mark RogersIn AC3, I have a little trouble beating the captain of the fort in close range non-stealth combat, who is usually able to counter a counter with a damaging punch to the face.

@Krazer I am doubling up on some - currently tackling PM and AT in parallel, will get a bunch more KH played over Christmas Break, that sort of thing
 
user15026
I am kinda all over the place when it comes to gaming - I don't tend ot focus very well on one game at a time
 
7:05 AM
@AshleyNunn remember to find time to enjoy these games too~ :)
 
user15026
@Krazer Oh most definitely - if I am not enjoying gaming, then I make myself focus on something else for a while (right now, it is reading. So many good books!)

Q: What are all the quotes in the far cry 3 loading screens

Serge BekenkampI've noticed that after finishing a story related mission you usually get 1 or a few quotes from i believe alice in wonderland ?? now i was wondering is there a list available with all the quotes in the loading/transition screens ?

 
@AshleyNunn oh any good ones? Ken Jennings' new book looks interesting
 
user15026
@Krazer If it is as good as Maphead and Brainiac were, I will enjoy it.
 
user15026
@Krazer Have you read any of AJ Jacobs books?

(A Year of Living Biblically, The Know It All, etc)
 
user15026
I really like those.
 
@AshleyNunn surprisingly those two are the only two books that I've read by him both were pretty excellent
 
user15026
@Krazer I like hi writing style.
 
user15026
Also, if you have watched Pawn Stars ever (or even if you haven't), License to Pawn by Rick Harrison is also a fascinating book
 
user15026
Candyfreak: A Journey through the Chocolate Underbelly of America by Steve Almond is also a good book
 
user15026
7:21 AM
I read a lot of biographies XD
 
user15026
Room by Emma Donoghue is also an amazing book.
 
@AshleyNunn I liked Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman and What do You Care What Other People think?
 
user15026
@Krazer Those are both good books.
 
Moab is My Washpot is also good
 
user15026
I read a lot and I am fascinated and excited by books, so I always have lots of things to recommend XD
 
7:25 AM
Dandy in the Underworld and Hitch 22, too
@AshleyNunn Autobiography of Malcolm X is quite good
 
user15026

Q: How to make a minecraft source file to hold files for both a windows and a mac version, both held on the same USB?

Antoni DevlinI recently made a "minecraft usb" that allows me to play minecraft on both a windows, and a mac machine (my main machine.) The root directory has two folders, "MC_MAC" and "MC_WIN". Everything works great, but I'm looking for a way to make the two installations use the same "saves" file, so that ...

Q: What is the energy decay speed for different resonator levels?

BanditoBunnyWhat is the energy decay speed for different resonator levels? I know for sure that L1 resonator decays at a rate of 10% a day or 100 XM a day. I have not explicitly tested it for resonators of higher level and now I think it becomes more and more relevant.

I obviously misunderstood the power of Arquade. Ask and answer my own question about Halo: 4's Spartan Ops. Two days later it's got 1010 views.
 
@tombull89 There is a reason why some of us disapprove of that being the case :)

Q: Is there a list of Guild Wars 2 servers?

Gabriel MeonoI'm going to start downloading the game client, and before I pick up any server I want to know if there's a list of each server available so I can run CMD on Windows and and choose the one with less ping. Thank you!

@James You don't like Arqade getting views?

@James What do you mean by that?

Q: How fast the XM will regenerate?

Cédric JulienXM (eXotic Matter) can be found everywhere in the Ingress game. Once this XM is captured/eaten by a player, how many time will it take to regenerate and can be captured by the same player (or another player) ?

Q: Can something be done here?

Francis JanI'm having problems concerning the mode New Game + in Torchlight 2. I would really like to proceed to that mode and or to mapworks. But it seems that everytime i go to The Minehead or defeat the final boss (Netherlord), the main quest usually disappears and then you're just stuck at the game. I'v...

 
some people don't like you answering your own questions
some people are fine with it though
and it's allowed by the rules
those people just aren't creative enough to make their own questions
 
10:02 AM
@pixel I used to be in the same camp, but I've realised SE's all about sharing the knowledge. And if it got over 1,000 views in two days some people have been looking for an answer.
 
10:14 AM
@badp No, @tombull89 Its just on the edge of shady to me, Like talk shows on the radio that want you to listen to a word of the day for a chance to win if you know them all at the end of the week.. Retention/Attention via alternate means than just being worthwhile... Rubs me the wrong way is all :)
@badp @pixel @tombull89 An I understand why its allowed and encouraged. I just think questions that you both Ask and Answer should be considered part of the wiki and no reputation or badges to be given.. But that is just me soooo [shrug] No worries :)
 
@James my most viewed question is self answered
I don't think stackexchange has an issue with 140k views on a self answered question
I mean, it was obviously useful...
 
@pixel Not sure what part of me saying I understand why its done you are not understanding.
 
@James No, you're right, whether you understand or approve of it are two completely different things, one of them is irrelevant to it being allowed and the other gets disregarded anyway
;)
in other news
I have Guild Wars 2 on my work laptop
 
@pixel haha
Want a copy of Dead Pixels? it would be fitting :D
@pixel Slacker!
 
@James I do not want to be dead :(
@James OMG! Newsflash, I skive at work!
I would have thought the hours and hours and hours and hours spent on Arqade would have given that away
I will actually be more productive, since I'll be using Arqade less and playing GW2 instead, rather than in addition to :p
 
10:21 AM
@pixel Yeah well I do not skive at work and I spend wayy to much time on here,... all be it inactiveish I guess until something comes up... or I have to do a clean compile.
LOL
@pixel I think there is something flawed in your logic :)
 
@James nope, I spend time on here all day, now instead of that, I will spend time doing something else, while not actually reducing the amount of work I do :P
until the next patch is released anyway
 
I really want to get back into GW2.. This Terraria Challenge thing I am doing right now is sucking up sooo much time..
Ah well, the things we decide to do when we hit 200,000 views on a youtube channel I guess :D
Kewl, most of my computer parts are in the LA sorting facility.. Looks like I should have enough to sqeeeee about tomorrow assuming fedex actually delivers them.
And on that note G'Night.. Leave me a @message if anyone wants a copy of Dead Pixels.
 
@James nn

Q: When a portal is burned out in ingress, how long until it's hackable again?

mmrobinsI just started playing and really needed to build inventory, so I found some portals close together, and walked a route to hack them over and over again. After a little while the hacks started to fail and I got a message: Portal burned out! It may take significant time for the Portal to reset ...

Q: What's the fastest way to take over a portal in ingress?

mmrobinsI built up an inventory of over 20 level 1 xmp bursters, and thought that would be enough to take over a low level portal - not even close. However, I did finally notice that I did different amounts of damage to the resonators depending on where I stood. I started off standing near the portal, ...

Q: How do I troubleshoot connection errors?
