@MarkTrapp Why didn't they pluralize 'planeswalker'. And no, 'Hell Yeah: Wrath of the Dead Rabbit' is the game name, not 'Hell Yeah'.

@GnomeSlice count the number of characters in mtg-duels-of-the-planeswalker

GnomeSlice

On a related note, I've been thinking of asking a question about Tiny & Big: Grandpa's Leftovers. How should I tag that?

They're already working on the sequel, so tiny-and-big won't work.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice Sure it will. We can deal with the sequel when it comes out.

Q: Are there different levels of diffuculty in New Game Plus mode in torchlight 2?

Do you choose a difficulty when starting a NG+ ? Starting a new standard game, a player must choose between easy, normal, veteran, and elite modes. After beating the final boss, you can start New Game Plus. Are there also 4 difficulty levels for New Game Plus? If so, do you choose the difficu...

Why not do hywotdr then?

Why does one get made into an acronym and not the other?

I don't understand what appear to be arbitrary rules for tagging.

user2334

@GnomeSlice Google hywotdr

OrigamiRobot

Do you really expect us to counter every bad example you come up with?

GnomeSlice

@MarkTrapp Do we tag based on google?

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice google.ca/…

3:04 AM

@GnomeSlice We're not, you've being overly obtuse because you think this is a personal attack on you and as usual you've decided to crawl into a fetal position stick your fingers in your ears and not listen to reason

GnomeSlice

@MarkTrapp The first result is for 'wrath of the dead rabbit'

BITCH

user2334

OMG IS THE OFFICIAL SITE THE FIRST HIT YES IT IS BECAUSE THAT'S THE NAME OF THE GAME

GnomeSlice

@MarkTrapp Do we tag based on Google?

user2334

3:06 AM

@GnomeSlice Yes, we do. Where have you been?

GnomeSlice

@MarkTrapp We do?

user2334

The whole entire SE enterprise is built upon people Googling easily finding answers to the questions they're googling

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice ;Look at the first page of swtor. every result is The Old Republic.

The idea is that we tag based on commonly used abbreviations. We do the same when shortening names. For example: Skyrim, oblivion, morrowind.

GnomeSlice

The question title and body both contain the phrase "Hell Yeah: Wrath of the Dead Rabbit"

LessPop_MoreFizz

So, changing the subject, I want to find these people and set them on fire. Because the world must be cleansed.

GnomeSlice

3:08 AM

@Wipqozn That's a much, much more popular game than hywotdr, so it's not a terrific comparison.

OrigamiRobot

@LessPop_MoreFizz But this perfectly sums up my feelings for you! I can't beleive you don't like it!

user2334

@GnomeSlice So that doesn't give you license to add random tags that have nothing to do with the game because you think they're funny. Every tag we add is something someone would actually search for. Google "hell yeah game". Just like SWTOR, which is what people call it, every single result is for the game in reference

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice That is the exact reason it is a terrific comparison.

GnomeSlice

@MarkTrapp Would you honestly remember the name of the game if someone mentioned it to you in passing?

I wouldn't.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Popularity factors into it. If a game isn't popular, then the abbreviation won't be as well known or used, so we need to be more careful about using it.

GnomeSlice

3:10 AM

My search would end up somewhere along the lines of 'hell yeah dead rabbit'

LessPop_MoreFizz

More to the point, the swtor tag was only settled on after a prolonged discussion on Meta about the merits of a variety of attempts to contort the title to fit within the tag limit.

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz Is this actually a video? All I get is audio.

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz It's not a youtube link. I disabled one of the versions of flash in my browser to fix the youtube resizing option, and I guess it broke this.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is a 1999 American epic space opera film written and directed by George Lucas. It is the fourth film to be released in the Star Wars saga, as the first of a three-part prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy, as well as the first film in the saga in terms of story chronology. The Phantom Menace was also Lucas' first production as a film director after a 22-year hiatus following the original Star Wars film, and only his fourth overall. The film follows the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi, who escort and protect Queen Am...
