Recently I've been using the SE Gaming Minecraft server a lot, and today when I tried to craft watermelons into seeds, I discovered that they wouldn't move to the crafting table when I clicked them, they moved to my quick-use bar, then moved back to my inventory when I clicked them again. I check...
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, I was trying to find a nice way to express my emotions on the subject. I failed miserably; I should stick to yelling and cursing.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I wouldn't look too harshly at that statistic. I have 3 pages of 0 score answers on SO (which admittedly is kind of different) and I obviously know better
guy's in his 30's more than likely, and he's got his linkedin profile linked from his profile. sad that even with that much experience and that much personal information hanging out there in public he wants to be a jerk :/
There is, in my experience, a strong difference in temperament between frequent but exclusively SOFU users and frequent users of the rest of the SE network.
And when the SOFU folks try to branch out, they get burned as often as random google user #234.
Not sure what to make of that observation, but it's something I've noticed.
@murgatroid99 My point is, we're more likely to have a problem with a 101 rep user who has say, 1500 rep at SO, than a 101 rep user with 1500 rep at, say, Photography.se.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I call shenanigans. this is clearly religious in nature, and the word "data" and the graphs/tables implies science was involved. these two things do not mix.
@yx didn't work. It looks like the games that are having problems are ones that have to do the thing where they download external stuff to complete installation
In Guild Wars 2, you are able to revive other downed players and pets/NPC allies. To revive someone, you channel the revive skill and as you channel the skill, the person or animal you are channeling revive on gets ticks of health back until the revive bar reaches full. When it reaches full the p...
i've seen some of these super high efficiency traps (> 50,000 items/hour) but most of them seem not to work on 1.2.5
what i was hoping would work would be floors that spawn and let the mobs drop through via pistons (6 blocks that move to the left, pause, then move to the right) but this seems no...
Partway through the water level (Act 4 Chapter 6) the sub encounters turbulence and gets swept up along with trees, mines, and other debris.
I thought I saw something like a toilet or kitchen sink but looking at other player videos, it appears it might have just been a tree.
Are there any gag i...
After reading the "bookshelf" xkcd comic, I am considering the influences of "Atlas shrugged" by Ayn Rand on the character names of Bioshock: there is an Atlas, and Andrew Ryan is almost an anagram of Ayn Rand. Are there additional inspirations for the character names? Have these inspirations b...
@Lazers this sort of looks like a "why did they design it that way?" question, but I'm not quite sure, mostly because they're asking for publicly documented stuff.
Okay, so Lux' passive marks an enemie everytime you hit him with a spell, so you have like 6 seconds to hit him with your AA to "ignite" it, which means you will deal some more magical damage.
Now I played quite some games with Lux and also read some Guides, but I still didn't figure these 2 thi...
I'm at 98%, missing the speedrun achievement, and I see percentages from 102% to 112% on the leaderboards. What is the highest non-glitched completion percentage possible, and what adds to the completion percentage over 100%? Easter eggs?
I do not know if this is possible but I think the online team death match is too fast? The game ends every 10-20 mins when the score is reached. Is there a way or a mode that let's you play indefinitely without scoring or at least to join a game with extremely high score goals? Currently I have n...
Where can I pick up a Telekinesis Spellbook in Skyrim? Haven't looked to thoroughly and am just now interested after watching an episode of Things To Do In
Is there a limit on how many Dragon Souls you can store? A couple of times after a battle, the dragon does not give me a soul and doesn't even disintegrate. Most times this happens I'll have at least 1-4 souls in my inventory.
Can we point stackgaming.com:80 to a useful page of information? A simple wiki of:
A list of all *.stackgaming.com servers
A list of events (Game On)
Links to relevant meta-posts, you-tube videos, social media accounts etc.
Links to other community-created content
It would be a useful place t...
I got MW3 but haven't got around to start the single player campaign yet. A friend of mine asked me to play with him the Spec-Ops mode.
Will playing the Spec-Ops mode before completing the single player mode spoil the single player story/settings or is it completely independent?
The question basically says it all.
I am the female ruler of my own Faction, the Kingdom of Metal. I begin my Wars by speaking to another Jarl or Count whatever and demand them to surrender, leading into a fight.
That results in a decleration of War and I loose Honor, even if the opposite Fac...
@fredley It's going to have a list of all the servers, whos playing on them, as well as a place for people to add and remove DNS entries for *.stackgaming.com
@MarcoCeppi Depends what else we want. For a list of links/feeds, no, but as something to aggregate our activity into a meaningful feed it would make things simple.
I've been using Twitter's Bootstrap for design stuff, but you're welcome to change that as well. MCMVC uses Smarty templating engine if you're familiar with it
Let me first start out by explaining myself on this question, it is not a "shopping" question. It is more of a "what the heck is this guy thinking" kind of question.
One would think, if you're going to buy a brand new, factory sealed gameboy color game at this day and age, you might spend anywhe...
From point A, through B, to C, there is a railway serving a large number of trains.
At point B, a train wants to enter the railway, but stops at a signal as the tracks are currently occupied. Now when it enters, it will do so at a low speed, blocking the entrance for an added period of time, whi...
On level 4, with all the riddles and portals, you can drop down to level 5 on various occasions. I've explored that part completely, except for one gate that stays down. I've been painfully going over all the walls, looking for a hidden switch, but I can't find one. What's the trick here?
ugh, there's one bug in botanicula which apparently effects copies from a certain retailer and also the pirated version of the game, so we keep getting "come to this site and download a rar file" answers on it
@EBongo, played the first act of Dead Island over the weekend, kind of Borderlands-meets-L4D. Looks like a "passable" co-op zombie killing game. Not super awesome, but one for the back catalog. Not going to finish it now, adding it to our "bored" list for when it's bargain bin material.
On a single target, I have the rotation down to become an effective DPS caster on my Fire Mage. When it comes to instances though and trash mobs, I have a very difficult time and am usually in last place as per recount in DPS. Between Blizzard, Dragon's Breath, Flamestrike and Impact, I can't fig...
@RonanForman you'll need to give it some more time. If the feed display name doesn't change from the URL to the feed titile it means it either wasn't fetched at all or there was some problem
@FAE we soldiered through it, but it was pretty bad. there was a bit too much "we're manly men/homophobia and yet homoerotic" overtones, plus the gameplay kinda blew.
@agent86 Jochem's not really into shooters on consoles (prefers mouse+keyboard) so that didn't help matters either, but yeah, the tone was just not our style.
Although my question may look like a troll, I assure you it is not. I'm very active gamer since 1996 and one thing which strikes me the most is that there were always so many extremely good players from Scandinavian countries in Europe. I don't understand it.
I've summed up the Wikipedia's demog...
So for some reason Belathor seems to have disappeared. Whenever I go to his shop, it is locked up tight. However, when I see his assistant, he always invites me to come by the shop, so I don't think I killed him. I know there was a dragon attack in the city, but I only saw guards dead. Either...
Apparently @murgatroid99 and I hit close at the exact same time. Because when I chose VTC, it had 1 vote. But @OrigamiRobot and @murgatroid99 are both ahead of me in the list of closers.
yo dawg, I herd you like to discuss how fast things happened, so I started a discussion about how fast things happen before you could talk about how fast things happen so you could marvel at speed while you're marveling at speed
@agent86 I was cutting/loading a 25 foot steel incinerator for scrap, and while trying to prop up a piece with a 50-60 lb. log, the log fell on my hand. I managed to get the bulk of my hand out of the way, but it caught my middle finger on the corner of a steel plate. Stupid longest finger.
@murgatroid99 I actually have that one saved... but with it being a gif, I'd have to screen shot and paste into a jpg or png otherwise the gravatar wouldn't work.
Well, that's all the searching I'm gonna do for a Fluttershy sunglasses picture... searching for Fluttershy shades came back with... French Maid Fluttershy... x_x
The third chapter in the Diablo series will be released on May 15th. Many of you are waiting in eager anticipation for another chance to battle the Lord of Destructuction. When the time comes, will you have what it takes to defend Sanctuary?
The next two weeks will be dedicated to helping you pr...
@murgatroid99 I don't have that one. And I searched again using the exact same parameters, and the French Maid from Equestria Daily is no longer on the page.
@agent86 yes, there is an upcoming game grant, and you'll have the opportunity to win Diablo 3. I will post the details today or tomorrow, and you should know whether you've won the game grant before this contest is over, that way you can decide which prize you want :) — Lauren42 secs ago

I've heard that after all of the rumors surrounding a "cow level" in the original diablo (which never actually existed), an actual cow level was put into Diablo 2.
What exactly do I have to do to reach this cow level? When I get there, what will I find?
@TwistedChaos it's kind of a problem with whatever engine they're using is. I'm guessing there's something complex or innately untestable about the game once it's written. All the games I've ever played based on the engine are buggy - morrowind, oblivion, FO3, FONV, etc
@murgatroid99 That is what I was thinking at first but there seems to be a lot of people getting angry and saying that Bethesda released it too soon just so that they could have it out on the holidays and get more cash.
@agent86 I thought that was only the reason for the lag problem?
@TwistedChaos I guess as @agent86 said, there are so many different unpredictable things that could possibly happen that it's so much more likely that some random player would come across some bug than that a tester would
Okay, so I'm level fifty something, have no life and play fallout for hours upon hours. I was walking around the outside of Megaton when I see this weird glow stick looking green item on the ground. I immediately drop everything (Nothing) that I was doing and pick it up. It turns out to be some o...
In all my time playing Diablo 2, I've found few very good charms (excluding the uniques). The market seems to be flooded with incredibly good charms - +1 to class skills or +2 to a tree, resistances, MF, you name it. I've heard mention that it is possible to re-roll charms, and I've looked up the...
I've heard that, due to the loot mechanics in Diablo 2, some areas are more likely to net you a Stone of Jordan than others. What area or areas give you the best drop rate?
Does your character's level influence this?
I can't answer the finding charms bit. But in order to re-roll charms:
Recipe: 3 Perfect Gems + 1 Magic Item → 1 Random Magic Item of the same type
The item level will match the inputted item, so you already need a charm that's of a high enough level to get the affixes you want. You can look h...
