Q: Starting with 200% xplodium bonus in Gun Bros

DaveSo last week I was surprised to see that I was starting out levels with a 200% xplodium bonus, and after each wave the bonus would increase by 10%, and maxed out at 400%. This differs from the usual 100% start, 5% increase, and 200% max. Today, I was disappointed to see that I started out at 10...

ManaI just got The Witcher 2 today and so far it seems quite enjoyable. The problem is that I haven't been able to play much of it so far due to lag that occurs even on low settings.

Q: Specific Game Review Questions - Portal II

Tom WijsmanAlongside the General Game Review Questions we are also looking for game specific questions, as I'm planning to write a community aggregated review on Portal II, I'm wondering what Portal II specific review questions you would like to see answered by the community. For this reason I'm asking you...

Gravity Lander was a nice appstore find. Looks like you can play it in-browser too.

I would like to see your revision, because what you did now just makes no sense...
You are status declining a discussion, if you want me to compose these questions on chat with @IvoFlipse then I would request my question to be removed under the "peer pressure" reasoning.
13:26
@TomWijsman First it isn't about the blog, now it is about the blog?
@ArdaXi I'm missing a quote in your response?
10 mins ago, by Tom Wijsman
@badp: The guidelines for good subjective, bad subjective do not apply to blog posts.
But that isn't a blog post. It's a meta question.
@ArdaXi, I agree that Tom's question could have added more explanation or give an example, but the whole point was to see what the community wants to see in review that are written for the blog
No, for the other part of your statement/question.
@IvoFlipse What it seemed like to me was that people would write a review together as a community.
Which, quite frankly, I don't think is possible.
13:27
@ArdaXi Yes, because that's the way to contact the meta-ish part of the community.
Yes that may seem 'templatish' but just because I want you to discuss the graphics, doesn't mean you have to fill it in the way I tell you too
@IvoFlipse It's not templatish, it's a template.
@ArdaXi I think the format Gametrailers uses for instance is excellent for getting a baseline idea of what a game is like. Obviously this isn't for everyone and not as important for each game, but it gives you a basis to get things started.
no a template would be when I have a blog post, with a fixed order, with fixed questions and a guideline on how to judge each of those bullet points
@IvoFlipse Which is what I managed to understand from @TomWijsman's post.
I just want a rough guideline, for users to fall back on when they're having a case of writers block
I think what Toms point was: if I write a review about Witcher 2, what do you want me to address, so that you can decide for yourself if you think the game is worth 60$
13:30
Yes, and asking game specific questions next to those @ArdaXi.
@TomWijsman That borders on spam, imo.
@IvoFlipse If I want to read a review about Witcher 2, I'd like you to highlight the things about the game you liked.
No, @ArdaXi, because the message would differ for each review.
And @tzenes is right, that's not for everyone. But if I got a $ for every user that told me 'they don't know what to write about', I'd be rich by now. So for those users, having a template of points they can pick from is very useful
@ArdaXi: A good game review isn't solely based on "Oh, I liked how Wheatley dropped on the floor."
@ArdaXi Who cares about spam on Meta anyway
13:32
@TomWijsman That's better than "The graphics were good, the gameplay was very good, the story was reasonable."
And where did I give such example, @ArdaXi?
@TomWijsman The entire post?
> a set of interesting review questions ("How are the graphics?" "Did you like the storyline?" "Was the game long enough?")
Those aren't interesting review questions, they're boilerplate questions.
"The graphics were good" is a very bad response to "How are the graphics?"...
@ArdaXi @ArdaXi that's pretty open for interpretation. Nobody is honestly going to get their review published if they'd review it like that. Besides, having different writers, means you get different opinions and different interpretations on how to address the question
@TomWijsman A bad response to a bad, uninteresting question.
13:34
If I review Katamari, I'm going to write something completely different about graphics, than when I'm reviewing Crysis 2
Instead, telling if it contains a heavy or light game engine, how good the quality is and so on really benefits the reader.
@IvoFlipse If you're reviewing Katamari, I don't really think you should be discussing graphics.
Who cares about graphics, when somethings 8-bit?
Maybe as a small side-point, but definitely not an entire paragraph.
@IvoFlipse Exactly. That's exactly why I don't think boilerplate questions work.
Or any kind of questions, for that matter.
@ArdaXi Well, in templates (as you see it) you are free to leave out questions.
13:36
Maybe if someone's never written a review before they could use them as a starting point, but they should not be in the final product.
@ArdaXi That's just because we're not using the same vocabulary. For me graphics is about what the game looks like. Katamari looks gorgeous, just 'different'. Describe to me what makes it so gorgeous then. Perhaps I might not even like that style
@IvoFlipse To me, it seems like questions like these would inspire reviews written like FAQs.
@ArdaXi It shouldn't be bullet points to hit, just to give you an idea what to address. If you wrote a review about a game with horrible glitches and terrible facial animations, you'd do me a disservice not telling me about it
A review might answer questions, but the questions shouldn't be spoken out.
@IvoFlipse Well, yes, but that means you have a subject to address, 'graphics'. Not a question to answer.
@ArdaXi Well I totally agree on that, but that doesn't mean you don't want to gather such questions
13:39
@badp Did you not think I'd seen that hours before hand? As for craftable status, the Three-Rune Blade is identical to existing weapons, and the other are just a Misc and a hat (neither of which look that great)
I agree that a list of subjects you should always address in a review could be helpful, but that's a very limited list which you should elaborate on when a game calls for it, and definitely wouldn't be question-based.
@ArdaXi: And that's where processing comes in, changing the interview questions towards users into a review based on subjects.
@ArdaXi Well then I suggest you post that as an answer ;)
@IvoFlipse I won't, though.
@TomWijsman I think the subjects should be the starting point, not the questions.
I don't think the questions should even exist.
Graphics This game uses graphics style X, but there are some glitches Y and terrible animations Z which distract your attention. Etc...
13:40
The questions make it too tempting for beginners to just answer those.
@ArdaXi Though for each specific game, I think users can have very valid questions. In the case of crysis, your minimum system requirements matter. In some cases the DLC is different between platforms (launch dates and such). Is the limited edition worth buying? Do I need to play the previous game to like this one?
Well, it gets you the answers you need to process into the review?
@TomWijsman Why add that extra step?
@ArdaXi That's why the blog isn't free-for-all but has editors that prevent this from happening
Asking to talk about the Graphics might not get you information about the minimum system requirements, or something outstanding or glitches.
13:42
@IvoFlipse But then the questions aren't helpful at all.
@IvoFlipse Exactly. Those are questions that are spurred by the game itself. Not generic questions.
@ArdaXi Are we talking about the 'subjects'-questions or the game specific ones? Nvm, didn't see where you responded to
The questions should be answered by the review, but a review shouldn't be based on them.
How would you turn "Does the game have replay value?" into a subject, @ArdaXi?
What are we talking about?
If anything, they should be review-review questions.
13:43
@Mana About how you were going to write me another blog post ;)
@TomWijsman That would be somewhere under gameplay.
But Ivo, I haven't written you any blog post!
How could I possibly write you another?!
@ArdaXi: Yes, but a beginner won't give any detail on replay value if I were to ask him (or he would ask himself) "Could you describe the gameplay?"
@TomWijsman You shouldn't ask them that.
That's another question, see?
And that's where the voting comes in, @ArdaXi.
13:45
but seriously what's going on here, are we talking about how to write blog posts or something
@TomWijsman I could downvote every question, but what would that accomplish?
@Mana We're talking about writing about how to write blog posts
oh
wow, that's so meta
@ArdaXi: Nothing, because you dislike the whole idea. A simple downvote on the question for that matter would do...
I feel like more of a hipster just having read that sentence
@TomWijsman I have.
13:47
@Mana Oh right, that was Macha not Mana :P
@Ivo I forgive you.
I'll look into writing a blog post sometime
The type of questions you ask really have an impact on the quality of the review, @ArdaXi. And I don't think we should join the bandwagon of bad reviews out there...
probably whining about how FPS games are too linear these days or something
@TomWijsman Having questions you ask makes it easier to write a bad review.
@ArdaXi: How?
13:49
@Mana I'd love to read a good rant, as long as you can point out how this negatively affected the gameplay ;)
We've just pointed out that they result in more detailed reviews where the user gets a much better idea about the game.
@Mana I remember opening everything in the original Mad Max, because I needed painkillers to get further
@TomWijsman No, you did. I pointed out they didn't.
@Mana What's the last great shooter that wasn't on rails?
@ArdaXi Where did you? I only see how your subject questions result in worse reviews...
And the game review blogs posts aren't listing questions, they're lined out in detailed subjects.
13:53
I think we have to conclude that @TomWijsman will write better reviews when he has some questions to base it on and @ArdaXi would prefer to just have some general subjects to address the way he sees fit.
@TomWijsman That's because you're thinking in terms of me being wrong.
But once again, I'm still awaiting response from @badp and I'm going out for dinner now. (Yes, @IvoFlipse, this early. :P)
If you don't want them on the meta, that's fine. I'll discuss them through with @IvoFlipse and other peoprle that are interested in the Gaming Blog Editor Room.
@ArdaXi And you are thinking in terms of me being wrong. This is not getting us anywhere, I didn't see you explain how your subject questions result in better reviews...
@TomWijsman And I can repeat it over and over like I have and you still won't.
I have better things to do.
@ArdaXi: How would you repeat something you haven't written yet?
@TomWijsman By having.
13:57
@ArdaXi: Please be more constructive, your last few responses were really pointless.
@TomWijsman You're not registering what I say when I do.
It's simply that easy.
Have fun chatting further, I'm out... :)
@ArdaXi: There's a transcript for that, it registers it all for me. I have other things to do... ;)
Is playfighting time over yet?
Yes? Okay.
Writing varies from person to person but IMO screw formatting. Dividing your review posts up based on GRAPHICS and SOUND DESIGN and WHATEVER isn't a massive part of making a good blog post.
What any good blog needs is entertaining writing and a few decent editors.
Make your writing pop, yo. Give it flair. Inject passion into your words.
> @ARDA I LOVE YOU

You see that? That's passion. That is good writing.
Also damn, you're such a narcissist. Do you really just lurk on the chat and wait for me to say something overly positive or negative about you so you can star it?
That's horrible @Arda.
@Mana Lurking? It shows him as active in the bar in the top-right.

there was a brief uncharacteristic period where he was not saying anything, but suddenly that message got starred as soon as I sent it

@Mana Oh hey, the sun's out. I think I'll sit in a windowless cubicle for another 7 hours.
@Powerlord why is your life so dull :(
I think I understand why you play video games now.
@Mana Let me tell you.
Whenever someone writes a game review broken up into GRAPHICS | SOUND | GAMEPLAY sections, a fairy dies.
14:22
IMO the most annoying part of writing game reviews is summarizing the plot. I never want to make plot summaries.
also the sun went away :(
so now I'm stuck in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt BUT THERE'S NO SUN OUTSIDE
god my life sucks. :/
@TomWijsman Obviously; but the questions you wanted to get wouldn't have been asked on the blog
but on the site
Correct me if you're wrong, your workflow would have been
1. Game goes out
2. You ask a bunch of stock question on gaming.stackexchange.com to "interview" the community
3. Based on the response you write the blog post
Your meta question wanted to hoard questions for step 2.
However, those questions are inappropriate for the site.
Also, we frown upon "spamming" stock questions:

Juan ManuelI want to believe the user is genuinely trying to generate content. However, I don't like it. What does everybody else think?

@badp That's not what he meant, but it is what he said.
@badp Jeepers. I'm pretty sure Tom wasn't talking about spamming anything.
@Mana At the tenth iteration it would be spamming...
@Mana Yes he was. I mentioned that too.
14:32
oh okay
well, calm yo beard, man
Now, if that was a list of questions you wanted blog writers to ask themselves, privately, while considering what to write in the review - then fine
@Mana Why do you see anger in my words?
You must feel anger yourself. Y U NO HAPPY
because my parents frown when they're angry
they're always frowning. always. I'm never good enough for them.

Jogging at 10:00 AM without having eaten breakfast is not one of my smarter ideas.

@Mana You should have asked for advice on Fitness.SE ;)
Internet's gone down, stealing my friends.
@RonanForman I believe that's referred to as kidnapping.

danm you grammar!!!!!
@RonanForman Are you going to use them as a replacement for the internet?
How does that work, exactly? You line them up in a row towards the nearest internet source and have them shout requests and replies at each other?
@ArdaXi I'm going to use them as subsitue fuel of the coal powered backup.
For the entire internet? You have that backed up on an external drive?
Note to self: locate nearest Google datacenter and lay a wire directly to it.
@ArdaXi On a floppy
I want to run a Usenet mirror.
Imagine how cool it'd be to have almost everything ever created seconds away.
If the internet went down you would still be entertained for years.
15:46
wtf, why did I stop seeing the payload meters and round timers
Also, expect a TF2 update around midnight UTC, as the Saxxy stuff gets removed.

Q: What is this monster (screenshot included)?

Sir KsilemWhat are these things? When I get close to it I take damage, but I can't hurt it. What does it do and what is it?

@RonanForman Darn you splelling ans typo!
No, I didn't hold onto my answer. I finished doing my research just now.

Q: Where do I find a formula for the Necrophage Oil in Flotsam?

ExtrakunLooking to craft some Necrophage Oil - I've tried Cedric, the book-seller, the incense guy and the trader near the inn, but no luck. Where else should I look?

16:57
@ArdaXi No, this will just be to disable the submission stuff on the page that launches when TF2 starts. The major update will be whenever they finish judging. In a few weeks (Valve Time).
So... a few months.
@Powerlord That's the one I meant.

Q: How to tag questions asking for a solution to a puzzle?

bwarnerAfter reading Should we try to encourage at least 2 tags per question? I'm trying to add a second tag to my recent questions. What's the proper tag for questions like "How do I solve this puzzle?" Strategy doesn't seem quite right. I'm thinking something like this What do I do after getting ...

Still, Valve could pleasantly surprise us and release Meet the Medic.

Q: The Witcher Play Order

spencerDoes Witcher 2 continue the story of Witcher 1 and if so is it recommended to play Witcher 1 before 2?

Where has Steam hidden the release notes these days? The news section hardly has any of them.
@ArdaXi It's under Product Updates on the News page's right-side.
@Powerlord That doesn't show anything.
@ArdaXi Are you viewing the news page for a specific game already or not?
17:49
Maybe Space Chem just doesn't have any update notes.

Q: How do I avoid the Dragon while taking King Foltest along with me in the Prologue of The Witcher 2?

SathyaIn the prologue, just after the first meet with the Dragon, there's a section where Geralt is supposed to (drag?) King Foltest across the walls. How do I avoid getting maimed by the dragon? The first pass is easy, the second pass (just after the dragon breathes fire) is were I'm getting stuck at...

Q: What does does "QTE" under Witcher 2 settings stand for?

SathyaThere's an option called "Difficult QTEs" under Options menu of Witcher 2 - What are "QTEs"? What do they do? What is the consequence of enabling/disabling them?

@badp: Not on Gaming or Meta, but on the chat.
@Lazers posts an answer... reads the second half of the question Oh, darn.
I guess I need to have actually played the game before I can answer that one.
@Brant QTEs are evil. :/
Also, I found a subtle bug in my code for Mapchooser Extended.
Forgot to reset a counter.
So, runoff votes would happen exactly once (per default config) after the plugin loaded, then never again.
This matches what one of my friends mentioned about the winning percentage of votes seeming a bit off.

Q: How far and at what height are dungeons?

Q: Come join us on the chat to improvise interesting "Game Review Questions"

"Did you like the storyline?" "Was the game long enough?") which we could ask to random community user...

Wow, I take a 30 minute walk and noone says anything.
Well, technically I walked down to a comic shop a few blocks away and looked at stuff for 15 minutes, then walked back, so it wasn't actually 30 minutes of walking. :P
Yawn.
The temperature is hitting 25 degrees this week and there's no air conditioning in the building
@Brant Time for the "It sucks to be you" song.
Granted, it's already 21 degrees here.
@Powerlord It sucks to be broke and unemployed and turning 33.
@ArdaXi I'm pretty sure the lyrics are "broke and unemployed" :P
@Powerlord It's been a year since I last heard it
19:51
You should get the soundtrack. :D
@Powerlord I had it on Spotify.
@Brant If my math is right, 25 degrees Celsius is... room temperature?
@MichaelMyers Hardly.
77 degrees Fahrenheit
So room temperature then.
@MichaelMyers Maybe where you live.
19:57
Sounds pretty warm to me.
Room temperature is around 17 degrees.
I'm a sissy when it's cold, but 77 F is downright pleasant.
Room temperature is closer to 68 F for me.
It's usually around 68 at work. Three of us bring jackets and one brings a lap robe. Two people use space heaters year-round.
OK, that was weird. The State of Michigan CIO just emailed everyone... with a frivolous "have a good weekend" message.
@Powerlord Is he telling you to go home?
20:00
@MichaelMyers I'm an hourly employee. If I leave now, I get paid less.
Team,

My thanks to each and every one of you for the work you do daily for the citizens of the State of Michigan. Have a great weekend. Enjoy your family and friends and the beautiful warm weather.

Q: What are the golden keys for in Chicken Invaders 4?

XenoroseIn Chicken Invaders 4, one type of powerup is a key with glowing golden aura. What does it do?

I'm going to note that this is the first email we've received from him since he came on when the new governor took office in January.
Do you feel valued now?
@MichaelMyers No.
Now, if he said "Go home early but report your normal hours on your time sheet," then maybe.
@Powerlord The taxpayers of Michigan might not like that... (assuming that's where the paychecks come from)

Q: Formula for experience points gained for killing monsters

FabianI've noticed that I don't gain any experience anymore for certain kinds of monsters, at least there appears no entry in the combat journal. I suspect that the XP formula is level-dependent, so that you don't gain any XP anymore for monsters far below your own level. Is there anything known about...
