Background story: some friends and I are thinking of hiring our own TF2 server. We want it to be public, and any players are welcome. One thing that really bothers us in every game in current public servers is when a player suddenly decides that all snipers in the team are idiots and the team d...

I have been playing Civ 5 on difficulty 5 for a bunch of AI's, FFA style. I am having issues getting a good foot hold in my games. I feel as though the other players are expanding towards me first, cutting down on my space to grown. This wouldn't be so bad but it also appears as though I alway...

So I basically want to transfer some media from my PC to the Playstation 3 over my Gigabit Ethernet network. I noticed my transfer speeds aren't that hot, and I verified that I DO have a Gigabit Ethernet connection on my PC and PS3 and that Jumbo Frames are supported on both the Gigabit Switch (...

Does healing a hurt ally increase the uber charge rate of a medic? If so how much does it increase it by?

I'm writing an android app and can't figure out how to display a ramp (could be a bump, like a speed bump, but preferably a ramp) from a top down 2d vie

Is it true that StarCraft is separated into different regional sections (America, Europe, and Asia) for multiplayer gaming, meaning that if I purchase SC2 in Asia (Hong Kong) on a holiday, that I will be unable to play with the people in Europe when I return back?

The Left 4 Heads achievement is to behead 4 people in 10 seconds. Which of the demo melee weapons count as beheading as per the achievement? I know that obviously the Eyelander will, since it debuted with the achievement in the first place, but what about the new swords since? The axes?

I'm trying to break 75% accuracy on Left 4 Dead 2. I can consistently get about 60% accuracy with either of the automatic shotguns, but when I try with the M-16, my percentage drops to the high 40s. Assuming that my shooting habits don't change from firearm to firearm, the only thing that I can...

I downloaded minecraft_server.jar from here, and made run.bat which content is java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui. It runs well, I can connect with typing my IP, but my friend (Windows Vista - 32bit) couldn't connect to my server, even though he can connect to my Apache we...

Hello guys, a friend of mine and me have some theorycrafting questions that can only be answered by a high elo source. For that we would like to watch a high elo vod of evelynn or a guide that would also get him into high elo with eve. could you provide us with links? thanks

I was looking through the Minecraft settings and saw this. I tried the setting, but it seems that there is no difference at all(see below). Before: After: So what does this do to Minecraft, and does it help in performance, etc. or makes it slower?

How can I destroy the blocks I placed to create the 'back wall' behind my house?

As of Beta 1.5_01, is it normal to be able to put signs on each other? Not in your inventory, but in the actual world, like this:

Are there any items I should be looking out for before I lose the chance to get it? I've read about how there are no missables on this game because everything is available again at NG+, but what about the first game iteration? I haven't played much yet, cleared the first boss in world 1 (Boletar...

So, after asking for a SEDE update, we got one — sort of: the date was changed, but it's still the old data. Same as last time. Can we, pretty pretty please, get a real SEDE update?

When closing a question on SO as off-topic, there's a selection of SE sites with their description. Today, the descriptions all read Explicit description for this site, instead of the usual elevator pitches. This seems to manifest in Opera 11, Chromium 11, and FF 4; see a screenshot (with freeha...

There's a cool new feature I just learned about while trying to write up a new Meta question. Now, I'm fond of dark backgrounds, but isn't dark text on dark background a bit on the Dark side of design practices? This is also the case on the main Q&A, which took a while to test, but indeed,...

In Terraria, you can choose the world's size when creating a new one. The current version of the game offers three choices : small, medium and huge. What is the size of the world for each option (in blocks) ?

In this question, we softly addressed the acceptability of the subject. There's no contribution other than my own answer, and it's not exactly a very attended post, but build questions haven't really come up all that often since the start of the site. Assuming for a moment that we're still okay ...

Are there a lot of references to the plot of the first game? Are there things I'm already expected to know at the outset? I hear that there is some stuff imported from old save games in the new sequel. Is there content I'll miss out on for not having an old save?

The first game had a function that would on keypress highlight the name of any items on screen that you could interact with or take. This was useful to quickly find everything you could take. I haven't been able to find such a function yet in the Witcher 2. Is it just not there or am I looking i...

Is it worth the extra cost and time it'll take to complete Dragon Age Origins? Is there that much back-story I'll miss out on in Dragon Age 2?

According to TotalPCGaming.com and Steam, The Witcher 2 requires at least a Radeon 3850. How firm is this requirement? Has anyone managed to play with a lesser card? (Bonus points if you can talk about the other required specs as well.) I ask because one of my PCs has a Radeon 3450, and I'd p...

I've had a few issues using the site from IE7 today (I can't update the browser, although I do have access to another one indirectly which I'm posting this from), which have recently gotten worse (I can't vote and the helper toolbar isn't there when editing questions). It's reporting an error: L...

I've found some shiny new armor enhancement: Now, when I try and drag this onto my armor, I'm getting the message "Action not allowed on this item". Am I doing it wrong, or can I only enhance certain armors, and not everything? My questions now are: Can I enhance all armor part (also boots, ...

Hey folks, I would be very thankful if you can help me identifying this game. I hope I remember enough. It was an adventure and I watched it being played in 1997 or '98. The graphic was 2D and animated in the way of old disney movies like Aladin. The main character was a blond girl wearing a (bl...
