Q: What's the back-story in FEZ? [Lots of spoilers]

I've been trying to piece together the backstory of FEZ - this is where I'm up to... There are 4 races in FEZ: Visitors - these appear as floating heads with 3 eyes and 3 tentacles. Long-heads - these have long heads and one eye, they're only seen in pictures. Big-heads - you can talk to these...

@Sterno I commend you for finding the next ITG :P

I've lost all desire to push forward with this.

@Sterno Give up all human emotions and join the robots.

If it had truly been most people saying "Yeah, great!", then I liked it. If half the community thinks it's an awful idea, it's not worth trying to do. The whole point is to make the place better, not angrier :)

I think if we want the next ITG, we should go get active on BoardGames or RPG. so much potential for arguments!

@Sterno SciFi

We should all invade Sci-Fi and just spam anti identification propaganda.

Good idea

Q: How can I play games with closed information with players who cheat?

Some would call it cheating. The perpetrators sometimes call it creative play. These players are the kind of people who think it is ok to peek at the bottom card while shuffling a poker deck to give themselves an edge, or glance at the cards in player's hands seated next to them when that player ...

etiquette cheating

Identification questions are the least of their worries.

This is one of the top users on the site, and half the stuff I read by him bugs me

His question basically makes some assertions that he won't let you argue with

i.e., you can't reason with a cheater

which takes just about any solution other than "don't play with them, then" off the table

Sounds like an "X sucks, am I right?" question to me.

Which we thankfully haven't seen much of.

Exactly. If you are just making assertions and defending them, it's a rant, not a question

Looking through the starred list...

So there's not going to be a contest or grant for D3?

:(

1:00 PM

@StrixVaria Just save 10 cents an hour until it hits and you can buy it!

I already bought it.

I need another copy though :P

@StrixVaria What? I can't see the starred list :(

8 hours ago, by Sterno

I guess Budgeting 101 should have occurred at the same time! :)

That's the starred message. I went back and looked at the context around it to figure out what he was talking about.

Reading it again, I may have misinterpreted what Raven was saying

When he said ME3 was the "last" grant, he may have meant "previous", but I read it as "there will not be more"

Stupid English.

Also, I think it's okay for me to elaborate that ME3 is not the last promotion this site is going to have @StrixVaria @Sterno.

Q: Is it possible to query the opponents favorite (most played) race and other stats during a game?

In Warcraft 3 it is possible to query some stats of your opponent during a game to see how good he is. The command is "/stats playername". Is something similar possible in Starcraft 2? I want to see his league and his main race.

@Lazers I'm sorry, which game? Oh. Nevermind.

@StrixVaria EW

I'm terribly phobic of insects, spiders, etc.

I considered sleeping on the couch even after I disposed of it.

@StrixVaria I would have sat across my room in my desk chair the entire night just staring at it.

@GnomeSlice That was option B.

2:10 PM

@EBongo we had this discussion at one point. questions about the beta are currently on-topic, no beta tag required. if it's just speculation, that's close-worthy, however. the line's blurry, as it always is :)

Also, lol at 25 youtube comments that are actually funny.

These are funny for all of the wrong reasons.

@GnomeSlice I would beg to differ that these aren't funny. At all.

I dunno, some of them are pretty hilarious.

Mostly just because of how dumb they are.

Great, there's even a fucking kitchen joke in it.

@Mana Yeah... I think what you can read of the video description for that one is actually worse than the comment.

Some of them are awesome.

**Grissom Academy's Finest**
Billions of credits, hours of grueling training, and one daring rescue mission later, Grissom Academy's top students are reporting for duty! These eager and daring students are ready to report in and do their part for the alliance war effort. Owing to their lack of experience, however, they're only being tasked with the most basic of tasks - clearing out those pesky Geth from Firebase White!

Rules
Map: Firebase White
Enemy: Geth
Difficulty: Gold
Characters: All four party members MUST play Human Adepts. All adepts must have Shockwave fully evolved, to whatever …

My favorite though is:

**The Very Bad Krogan Diplomat**
Map: Any
Enemy: Any
Difficulty: Bronze or Silver

On the eve of an important peace conference, your crack team of 3 commandos has been assigned to guard a very important Krogan diplomat from assassins! The Krogan Diplomat is a fourth player, playing a Krogan Sentinel specc'd for maximum Tech Armor Durability, maximum Health and Shields from Fitness. Oh and one more thing: the Krogan Diplomat is very Krogan and has decided to take on all the assassins himself! He doesn't need your help! Maybe that isn't such a good idea...

@LessPop_MoreFizz Heehee, that sounds great.

**Turian Special Forces**
Map: Any
Enemy: Any
Difficulty: Silver or Gold if you are King Turian

Requirements: You must be a Turian Soldier. You are only allowed to use fully automatic weapons - no semi-automatic or single-shot allowed. Marksman specc'd for ROF encouraged but not required.

Special Rule: No one is allowed to dress in Garrus colors. Unless you are playing on Gold, in which case you ALL have to dress like Garrus.

Result: Automatic weapons are bad, but this is fun!

Q: What's the meaning of these numbers?

You know that room ? I'd like to know, does that mean anything ? I can translate the numbers, but it doesn't make any sense... Could it be words ? Then, I was also wondering if those symbols below the numbers 0 1 2 3 here does mean anything :

How do I explain to this guy that his entire idea of what a "BIOS" is is likely to be wrong?

3:16 PM

@StrixVaria Yeah.

I'll take it then.

@StrixVaria You might have to make a Gamersgate account.

I don't know what that is but I might be opposed to it.

Oh, wait, I think I can gift it via email.

Oh it's not a Steam thingy?

3:17 PM

@StrixVaria It's not a Steam game, no.

@YiJiang I don't think you're likely to meet with success, but good luck anyways!

@StrixVaria Another game distribution website, but it doesn't use a desktop app I think

The game isn't even ON Steam.

@StrixVaria Send me your email address through Steam chat.

@GnomeSlice I can't do this until I get home from work, which will be after 6PM.

@StrixVaria No rush.

@LessPop_MoreFizz did you see that the two guys from andromeda are back? I guess all this adventure game hype has drawn them out of the woodwork. They've not announced precisely what they're doing or how yet, but the pig noses have re-emerged.

I guess at this point I'm used to Kickstarters over-explaining why they're asking for money, since the entire point is to ask for money.

@RonanForman Yes <3

Question: If I make a question based on a series (not only one game) how should I tag it? Here is my question: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/63101/…

@Michel Ive seen a tag for each game in the series and I have seen people propose a gamename-series tag

I think the first one is more useful

@Michel diablo-series

@Ullallulloo Thanks =)

Hmmm... What should I draw today?....

Hope I find a good answer for that question BEFORE the release from D3 >.<

Q: What genre of video game does Diablo belong to?

I've recently played Diablo 1 and 2 and I'm totally hooked. Now I've been wondering what genre this game belongs to, so it would help me find similar games.

Shouldn't that be retagged?

@RonanForman Some variation of Fluttershy!

@Ullallulloo Why?

Draw me a BMO!

5:36 PM

@Wipqozn86 diablo-series

@Wipqozn86 Isn't diablo-series prefered to diablo diablo-2 diablo-3?

@Ullallulloo ah yes. good point.

@Wipqozn86 Because it's being released D3 and it is part of the question as well. Iam 140% with @Ullallulloo

Yes, I concur.

We rarely have use for series tags so I forgot they existed.

5:38 PM

@RonanForman Oh. Well... Origami wants a BMO. <.<

I don't know what that is.

Or N.E.P.T.R.

Could diablo-series become synonymous for diablo diablo-2 diablo-3 ?

So, if no one has seen Midnight in Paris... I would highly recommend it.

5:42 PM

@Michel I removed that tag, actually.

@Michel That's not how it works

We don't need a 'series' tag for Diablo just yet.

@GnomeSlice =O Why ?

@Michel I switched it to diablo

@GnomeSlice Diablo is the first game, the classic.

@OrigamiRobot Ahh ok just curious about it =P

5:43 PM

All of the games, so far, are in the same genre, but that isn't to say that won't change in the future.

@GnomeSlice I rolled it back. The tag applies. If you think we should remove it bring it up on meta.

We create a tag when a question needs it, which that one does.

Whatever.

@GnomeSlice Then we'll deal with if it changes.

It's very unlikely that Blizzard will change the games' genre.

@Wipqozn86 But it doesn't.

A 'series' doesn't have a genre.

@GnomeSlice It applies to Diablo 2 and 3 too.

5:45 PM

@GnomeSlice Why not?

@GnomeSlice These do.

@GnomeSlice But Diablo could not be refered to Diablo 2 or Diablo 3 or any expansion

@GnomeSlice in this instance, the series created a subgenre ("diablo clones")

Q: It is worthwhile to collect all the gold?

The game play still the same for all the Diablo games. Gold on the floor. Even with the new mechanic on Diablo 3, where you can walk over the Gold, you always miss some (Skill shots on a vase for example). I'm addicted to collect all gold, and kill all the minions, since I started playing Diabl...

@Lazers found me /o\

5:47 PM

@Michel Are you asking about this for every Diablo game, or just one?

@GnomeSlice en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_(series)

If just one, the tag does not apply. If all of them, the question is too broad.

Diablo (series)

Diablo is an action role-playing game franchise owned and produced by Blizzard Entertainment. , the series has sold over 18.5 million copies worldwide. Story Diablo is set in the world of Sanctuary. In the universe there is an eternal conflict between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells. The High Heavens are led by the Angiris Council and the Burning Hells are led by the Prime Evils. At an unspecified point in time the Arch-Angel Inarius grew weary of the never-ending struggle, and, gathering a handful of like-minded angelic companions, left the battlefields. While searching for a p...

@Wipqozn86 Everyone. This is why the diablo-series

@Michel Your question is too broad.

You should limit the scope to just ask about one of the games, or create a separate question for each one.

@Wipqozn86 Could u help me again?

5:48 PM

22 secs ago, by Wipqozn86

You should limit the scope to just ask about one of the games, or create a separate question for each one.

This could change drastically for each game, and it would also mean everyone would need to go back and update there answer if a new game was released.

Also, a question asking about Diablo 3 would be unanswerable at this point I think.

@Wipqozn86 The point of this question is: The Gold loot works the same way in all of the diablo-series, But in diablo-3 There is a new mechanic to help it when it drops near to you, but the gold still the same

@Michel Pick one.

@GnomeSlice I Don't understand why.

@Michel So you want to know if this change has had any affect for Diablo 3?

@Michel But the worthwhile-ness is different in each game.

5:51 PM

@Michel Because they aren't the same game. Series tags are for meta information that applies to all games in the series, but these games aren't identical in terms of gameplay.

@GnomeSlice If I pick one, let's say diablo-3 and someone else ask the SAME question about diablo-2. this would be considered Exactly duplicated

And we wonder why new users have such a hard time

@Michel That's true...

@GnomeSlice This is why I made this question more generic to the diablo-series

@Michel Could you flesh out your question a bit more for me?

5:53 PM

@Wipqozn86 My pleasure =)

Because to me, your question looks like you are asking: "Is it worth while to collect Gold in Diablo? Is it worth while to collect Gold in Diablo 2? Is it worth while to collect Gold in Diablo 3?", but this conversations makes it sound like you are trying to ask something else.

@Wipqozn86 That's what I'm getting too.

@Wipqozn86 The gold in diablo-series drop in the ground after you break a vase or kill a monster. I'm addicted to pick EVERY single gold in the room before move forward. But the time spend is great, I'm wondering if it's worthwhile collect all the gold, or small amounts like 5 gold or even 1 gold does not worth the time to get (unless they are in your way)

@Michel It depends on which game.

@OrigamiRobot It does not o.O

5:56 PM

Gold in Diablo 1 worked quite differently form Diablo 2

@OrigamiRobot one moment =)

Done!
