So I just found a stronghold and located the End Portal. I tried lighting up the area to get rid of the silverfish that come from the spawner, but I found out trough the Minecraft Wiki that when there's a spawner they can spawn at any light level.
Since I don't want to destroy the spawner, is th...
@fbueckert yeah, flash deals put a kink in it, but I think still it's a bad idea to buy at the "normal discount" price until you've waited to see if there will be further discounts.
@agent86 That's what I've been hearing. And to me it looks to be the best of the three. After the screw up that was the Arkham Asylum port, I'm afraid to touch the Arkham City port
@murgatroid99 Well I know they're a good source for questions/answers, but I mean more that my OCD for achievement acquisition will not have to be taxed this time around.
I am new to multiplayer mode in GOW3 .
I am limited to a choice of two simple weapons.
I have noticed I have to shoot a lot in order to injure an opponent but a lot of them can take me down with a single shot.
How do I replace my weapon?
Thanks.
I just started playing online gears of war 3.
after a couple of games I reached rank 10.
I think (though not quite sure ) it moved me then to matches with better players.
I am getting shot there in split of a sec :-)
Is there a way to enter matched with noob for the begining.
thanks.
I played on hard, which I actually don't recommend. It was the puzzles that made the game fun. Not the combat. And I think it took me just over 12 hours. And that was with taking some time for screenshots and Gaming.SE posts
And apparently I like to start sentences with "and".
@FAE It simply wasn't that fun. The "trick" is mostly to unload all your attacks at once, then strafe around so the monster can't hit you until your attacks reset. The only real trouble areas are when you get a lot of enemies at once, or locked in tight space
Plus, in a game with reusable "heal all" crystals scattered throughout the dungeon, plus the ability to fairly safely rest and heal anywhere (which only costs you food, which after about level 2 you'll have more than enough of for the rest of the game), combat on hard still wasn't too bad beyond "can I survive a quick damage spike"?
You guys see that Amazon is going to give up its lawsuits and collect sales tax for all of its purchases? But to offset that they are now expanding their warehouse capabilities to all states and start to offer Same Day delivery for their orders?
@Fluttershy Unfair practice lawsuits as companies who are in the state feel they are losing business because Amazon doesnt collect sales tax and therefore is 'cheaper'
@RonanForman I guess I should say this in the Game On room, but I think we'll have to scrap the old site design if we are going to go with this new "Arqade Community" logo.
I am seeing a lot of people looking for group for an instance called 'The Facility'.
Where is the Facility located and in which zone can I find the entrance?
What is the recommended quality level for this instance?
I recently re-builded an old PC to use as secondary PC just for gaming, I installed Win 7 and the MarkC mouse fix, but I still don't find it comfortable when aiming at long range targets. ( I also disabled mouse setting in games, for example in Arma2 I've set X axis, Y axis and smoothing to 0 ).

I'm trying to enable the mod button within civ5 (steam version) on mac, I've seen this question asked and answered already, however, when I navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/sid meier's civilization v/assets/UI/FrontEnd/MainMenu.lua i do not have MainMenu.lua instea...
@RonanForman The old logo worked as a centered object, but this new logo has the text to the side, so it might not work as a centered logo, and might need something on the opposite side of the header.
@Lazers This is a dupe; the user asked his question in the original thread, and I told him that he should leave a comment once he has enough rep. Instead, he posts an entirely new question. Thoughts?

I have this same issue however when I navigate to that folder i do not have MainMenu.lua instead I have MainMenu.xml which doesnt contain much.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
@QAdp I didn't want to close that, as it's obvious he wants an answer, but there's no real recourse for new users in this sort of situation, short of established user intervention.
Ask their question as an answer? Deleted as Not an answer. Ask their own question? Closed as dupe.
A more mathematical approach
First, take the hyperbolic function f(x,y) = 1+xy and look at 2 things,
Contours: Set f(x,y) to some constant C.
C = 1+xy behaves basically like y = 1/x i.e. the two are inversely related. Scaling x by a factor of k and y by a factor of 1/k is just moving along ...
I've chosen to play a Survivor in Divine Divinity. I noticed that one of the starting skills was "Lockpick" which I've always found useful to have from the start.
The problem is, I don't actually know how to pick a lock! I've selected the skill while standing next to the locked item, I've select...
@fbueckert lol it looks like it belongs more on math.se; though it is actually a relevant answer. And no, I didn't even spend the time to try understanding it :(
I think my last couple of votes on ques. have actually been downvotes, even though I make those very rarely. Need to start upvoting the non-obvious ones a bit more I guess

Upvote all the questions you've answered if you haven't already. Or don't. SEE IF I CARE.
To all who were involved in the LoL discussion yesterday, here is what I'm planning on for the contest announcement - let me know if you think the rules need more elaboration
@Lauren I'd say something more LoL specific instead of "conquer those evil bosses", maybe like "win that match" or "kill the other team's carry" or something.
@Lauren Also I'd mention stuff that's too localized in the disallowed questions, we got quite a few of those last time, like "Why is the server offline?" "What song is playing on the stream during the break?" and "What are the top tier champs right now?"
@Lauren Also also I think these guidelines are great and the way that high scored things count towards raffle tickets and closed/negatively scored things subtract should help with the low-quality influx problem we had last time.
@Lauren > Your question must be related to League of Legends. Make sure you tag it league of legends or it won’t count. Only answers to questions tagged League of Legends will count.
@fbueckert And considering we actually had a participant who was apparently thinking about threatening to sue over some fine print last time, I'd say it's good to cover both bases explicitly.
I am on tier 5 of "The Girl Who Cried Wolf" in The Secret World and I have taken the rune stones found by the Orochi but I am unable to progress with the quest further. The quest text says I need to "pierce the secret of the Windmill" which I thought was rather strange wording.
I was looking to install Elsword (an F2P game) to try later; and discovered that it uses what is basically a customized bittorrent client, Pando Media Booster, to help with the installation download. After some searching, I've also found that
PMB is used in several other F2P games such as LoL, ...
So, I've asked about Tacos. I know they are a flavorful and beneficial out of combat snack. I still don't know what happens to people who eat 7500 of them, but it's a start.
And then I see this:
It's Taco's younger brother! Nacho!
Acquired by disassembling a Taco, I need to know: Are Nachos...
@fbueckert I'm actually not voting for the answer because of the constant edits; its like spamming to keep the question on the top of the list :(. Also I'm not a fan of constant tiny changes just because the wiki format allows it.
@Alok I've had constant edits to answers before. It's usually because I keep revising and committing even though I'm not entirely done, because I'm afraid of losing my work along the way.
I recently rebuilt an old PC to use as a secondary PC just for gaming. I installed Win 7 and the MarkC mouse fix, but I still don't find it comfortable when aiming at long range targets. (I also disabled mouse setting in games, for example in Arma2 I've set X axis, Y axis and smoothing to 0.)

@Lauren that's... kind of harsh actually! 1 entry gained per +10 post, 1 entry lost per -1/closed post? I guess that'll lead to a lot of self deletion at least
I guess you could drop the bar to +5 or even +3 and it wouldn't be too bad but I honestly don't know how much vote love do LoL questions get
@Alok I wasn't trying to say you should upvote him. I'm just saying that, particularly with new users, there are a lot of reasons you might keep editing your post other than to get it to the top of the front page.
@QAdp We were talking about this with Lauren yesterday; the main issue with LoL users is the sheer amount of crap we got from them in the last contest.
@Sterno Agreed, its like spamming but I don't think its the actual reason he is just taking his time trying to iteratively improve it. Tbh, if I could bother to read it then maybe I would've upvoted - meh, too lazy -.-
@Lauren maybe +3 is a little too low; I dunno honestly. Just food for thought, you don't have to take my proposals literally to give away the impression you're listening to us :P
@Lauren As a data point, I started using this site around the time of D3 promotion - I have no questions at +10 and only two answers at +11. Agree with @fbueckert that +5 seems more realistic
Huh, so there are achievements for the Summer Sale, they're just not in the store. There's "Steam Badges" on your Steam profile now, and it shows your level of participation for past events.
Seems like voting on Community Choice stuff is the main thing. I don't know if you'll actually end up getting anything for it though.
@FAE I just checked and I've got 23 hours logged on Steam for Legend of Grimrock. And that's for a very thorough playthrough on hard, some random idle time, part of a 2nd playthrough, part of a 3rd playthrough, and some time spent doing researching for Arqade questions.
@FAE yeah I recall that... While I like steam.. its just overall Eeeeevil :)
@Fluttershy @EBongo @BenBrocka I am starting to think we should just have one single How do I breed dragons in Dragonvale question that just says 'Go look up the dragon on the wiki' :)
Recently while running around and doing side quests, I noticed that Noel was missing. I assumed that he had gotten stuck somewhere, like my Mog had gotent in the past, but when I found him he was instead walking very slowly toward me. I figured it was just a one-time thing, but nothing seems to h...
My dwarves seem pretty excited about procreation and I now have a large population of babies and children hanging around the fortress. The problem is that the children are all going mad and throwing tantrums.
I'm fairly certain it's because the babies became children and I didn't have an extra s...
On the official AC3 pre order page it presents 4 different options:
