Still, we have three big questions grouped up into one question. We don't want people posting big answers to all three questions, because that leads to bloat, and makes the material difficult to find. So the OP needs to figure out which subject he wants to focus on in this particular and narrow it down on that.

Alok

@Mana Well, I'd say (1) is pretty much unanswerable if he's talking of heroes; could be roles (e.g. combo of 2 tanks, 1 support, 2 ranged etc.) but that's not mentioned at all in the question.

@Mana Agree with this

Mana

Closure is not permanent. It's not something we want to jump to on every question but in this case I didn't see a quick fix, so we don't want people posting answers on it right now.

ayckoster

Does anybody know if there is an englisch version of The Typing of The Dead 2?

Alok

Yea, he can post multiple relevant questions if he wants to; he has enough feedback in the comments

ayckoster

I asked this question, but I got downvoted :( and no one answered it.

Mana

@ayckoster :( I have a pirated English version on my computer anyways

of 2?

Oh

I got it mixed up because it was House of the Dead 2 that Typing of the Dead did.

@Mana Its just hard when the person who posted the close can not come into chat so we can explain what we would like them to do :)

ayckoster

Typing of The Dead is a clone where you type instead of shoot ^^.

Mana

@ayckoster Yeah, I know. Typing of the Dead was a mod of the second House of the Dead game though, not the first, so when I saw the 2 I got it mixed up.

Wipqozn

@Mana This is the one thing I find new users struggle with the most. Unlike a forum, closing is not permanent.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn But since they assume this is a forum, and their question got closed, that they don't need this site.

Mana

@Wipqozn It's something that we should probably set out to make more clear when we comment about how we're closing questions.

Always try to mention a possibility of reopening if OP does <x> or <y> to the question.

@MarkTrapp A friend of mine is trying to put movies on hers. But she doesn't know how. She has them in mp4 format, but she can't get them to work

Are the on the memory stick? Do they show up under video?

user2334

3:51 AM

Well presumably they're on the memory stick, but what folder are they under? PSPs/Sony products generally don't know what to do with themselves if files aren't in the correct folders

Fluttershy

@MarkTrapp She says they show up as "Unsupported Data"

Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

user2334

Ah, might be a conversion issue: how were they saved? Using a program's PSP preset, or just a generic MP4/H.264 option? PSPs don't support all bitrates and sizes of H.264, so you have to save them specifically for them

Fluttershy

She says she downloaded Angry Beavers and converted it to mp4, and those work fine. But Alice in Wonderland, which was an mp4 when it was downloaded, does not work.

She's a user on this site, and I told her to ask a question, but I don't think she's going to. =( She doesn't have the rep to chat.

user2334

I have a feeling it's a conversion issue. Whatever program she's using isn't saving them with the right specifications to work on PSP. Usually conversion programs come with presets for popular devices because of that

user2334

If it doesn't have a PSP preset, you got me as to what the exact specifications are.

4:00 AM

Oh, also, she should check to make sure she's running the latest PSP software. MP4 support requires at least 2.8, which is ancient, but still: some people never upgrade for various reasons

@MarkTrapp I read that people actually hated the unit stacking in Civ4 but disliked that Civ5 was more like a game of world-domination chess

Koviko

@MarkTrapp Culture was cool, but it didn't make sense to me that culture would allow someone to take over a city.

@Koviko Yeah. Civ 5 seems to be really geared to small civilizations. You get penalized heavily for having too many cities

user2334

@Koviko Oh that was the best part! Bloodless conquests!

@MarkTrapp Yeah, it was fun. But realistically, it didn't make sense.

Koviko

All of the reviews of Civ4 vs Civ5 say that Civ5 was "dumbed down" or "simplified" (based on whether they liked it or not)

Some say that Civ5 was too casual

Others said that Civ4 was too management-heavy

And then the Steam Summer Sale ended

And I ended up with nothing.

user2334

Civ needed simplification after Civ 4. Civ 4 had too many tacked-on features for its own good. And no game that takes 18 hours to complete is casual in my book

Koviko

Maybe they mean "casual" in comparison

Sort of how people consider D3 a bad game, but only because we are comparing it to D2.

Q: Tag Synonym: feats-of-strength > achievements

I have suggested a tag synonym for feats-of-strength to achievements as part of the clean up, can I get some votes on this? http://gaming.stackexchange.com/tags/achievements/synonyms

@pixel No, merging tags has to be done manually or with a mod-only tool, it doesn't happen automatically

So what actually happens when a synonym request goes through?

Should I still edit all of the questions that currently have feats-of-strength on them to achievements ?

Mad Scientist

@pixel I'd leave it for a mod to merge, that doesn't bump them to the frontpage

I have found a weird bug/issue - on the review page if I'm on any of the options 'first answers' 'first questions' 'late answers' etc the 'suggested edits' link shows [4] outstanding edits, when I click suggested edits it says there are none

Mad Scientist

@pixel There are 4 suggested edits, they are all from you

pixel

Ah it shows tag wiki edits in that counter even when you can't approve them?

and/or they're filtered by being your own edits

that would still fall under bug/issue imo :p
