The Binding of Isaac with the Wrath of the Lamb expansion has two different secret rooms on each floor. It seems that there are some specific rules that determine where the rooms can appear on the map. What are those rules?

With the Wrath of the Lamb expansion, The Binding of Isaac now has two different kinds of secret rooms, and together they seem to have somewhat complex placement rules. If I can only search for these rooms with bombs by blowing up one side of a room at a time (the usual case), is there some sear...

In Max Payne 3 we're not given a timeframe that sets the action in a specified year. Is it stated anywhere how much time has passed since the events in Max Payne 2? Max looks like he has aged, but it can be because of his bad habits... Has it been months? Years?

At the start of Portal 2, it's clear that time has passed. You've been woken up every few months for physical and mental fitness tests, until something goes wrong and you're left in stasis for much longer. How long is Chell, your character, in stasis? How much time has passed between the end o...

The trivia tag is stupid. It adds no value to the questions it is on. It is a meta tag, describing the question moreso than the information in the question, which is frowned upon. Questions that are about trivia are generally not about gaming and are thus of questionable nature on this site anyw...

So, in a bunch of different games by Valve, there's this Garden Gnome, and he's usually associated with an achievement, involving carrying him through an area. Over the course of my internet travels, I've picked up on the fact that his name is "Gnome Chompski". What is the significance of this ...

So I was playing Starfox 64 the other day, and I noticed something disturbing. No matter what course of action I take, if this blue bird guy gets shot too much in the first stage, he tells me that something has happened to his G-Diffuser, and he has to break off. Hmmmmm... What does this so-...

Whenever I play ilomilo, I can't keep track of which character is ilo (Ilona), and which character is milo (Milton). I really enjoy ilomilo, but I need to know which -ilo is which, because in ilomilo I'm constantly getting my milo confused with my ilo, and my ilo confused with my milo. I feel t...

There are a ton of (mostly) highly rated games in the Apple appstore under the company name 'Chillingo.ltd', but the games are so wildly different from one another, that I can't understand how they could develop the hundreds of them internally. What's the deal with this? Is 'Chillingo' just a p...

The 5 Days games from Fully Ramblomatic are titled pretty ambiguously. I want to play them in the correct order of plot timelines, or if that doesn't apply, in the order they were released. Do the games' plots tie in to one another? If yes, what chronological order are the games in?

There are various statistics in Crackdown 2 that tell you how many of a certain thing you've found in each area of the game. Problem is, I can't remember which area is which, and there's no indication in the game other than the first time you enter a new zone. This means the statistics are effe...

I want to make a model of some of the colossi, can anyone tell me how large each of the colossi is? Height, width, depth.

When I'm going through fighting off enemies in Diablo 2, and I hear the little monsters utter a saying, does the saying "Rakanishu" have any meaning in the Diablo games? So far I have only heard it said in #2, is it said in any others?

I seem to see commentators mention "cheese" with regards to Starcraft 2, but I'm not quite sure what they mean. If a particular build/tactic is called a "cheese", does that mean it is a considered to be uncounterable? Or does it just mean that it is considered to be a tactic that is "too easy"...

What are the quotes that Lulu can say while casting? Almost all of them are amusing but some seem to be more nonsensical than others, like 'Frog Ovulating!'. It would be nice to have a list to compare against.

When we enter the testing area, GLaDOS informs us that she has to go attend to the turbines; before she leaves, she sarcastically gives a radically sped up "explanation" of the test we face in the room. Does she say anything of note in this version? I wouldn't know how to go about manipulating t...

I found some youtube videos playing this GLaDOS sound file which I don't recall in the game at all. All the videos are fan made, none show the quote being made in game. I've beaten the game about 4 times but I've never been able to discern this from her final words. Was this included in the real...

I just read a Youtube comment saying that the developers canned some of GLaDOS dialogue because she was "too mean" for players initially. Is this true? Is there a reference or commentary where this is talked about?

A bird shows up a couple times in Portal 2. First, it turns out that Wheatley escaped using a bird's egg (not sure how...). Then, a bird (presumably the mother of the eggs) comes and attacks Wheatley, causing him to cry out "AHH! Bird! Bird!" A while later, a bird starts eating potato-GLaDOS. Yo...
