Q: Tips for getting rid of SYNC instructions?

yatima2975In most of my solutions I go through this routine (with the necessary changes): | v (red) : Sync -> Start -> Sync -> (blue) : Sync -> Sync -> Start -> ^ | just to make sure that the blue waldo runs first. Except for the early resea...

Q: Benefits of not killing prison guards

ManaAfter struggling and failing several times to get a grasp on The Witcher 2's stealth mechanics, I abandoned all hope of being able to sneak through the entire prison in the prologue and decided that everyone who opposed me would die by my blade. Once I escaped from the prison, the person responsi...

Q: Left 4 Dead 2 - purchase non low violence version?

FarseekerI hopped onto Steam to buy Left 4 Dead 2, and I saw this banner: This seems a bit un-cool to me, but I couldn't find any way to purchase a non-low-violence version. Is it possible?

Q: The Witcher 2: Gargoyle Contract, what is the ordering of the signs in the rooms?

Reid KlecknerI've managed to get 2/3 of the gargoyle chests, but I can't figure out the one in the amphitheater. So there are four runes, which according to the books from the vendor, are: - animal - sky - death - time The clue in the room is: Divertimento! Coulds are like bees When bells ring Any thoug...

Q: What is the ordering of quality descriptors in The Witcher 2?

Raven DreamerI've noticed that most of the weapons and armor I pick up sometimes have a quality descriptor next to them; I started with a regular Silver Witcher's Sword, crafted a Robust Witcher's Silver Sword, and now am the proud owner of a Superb Witcher's Silver Sword. Armor and Steel Swords seem to have...

Q: When should I start to do the side quests in Flotsam?

ExtrakunI am finding the side-quests in Flotsam tough, because of the monsters in the surrounding area. I also discover that by doing some of the main quests, I get decent XP and some good loot. When is a good time (level, point in the main plot and etc.) to start doing the side quests in Flotsam?

Q: How can I shoot while hiding in Red Dead Redemption (xbox360)

RichTowards the beginning of Red Dead Redemption, there is a tutorial where John Marston helps the sherrif to attack a gang. During the tutorial, you are shown how to hide behind a rock and shoot by holding the gun above the rock. I've not been able to do it since - can anyone tell me the controls?

Q: Where is the kingslayer's hideout?

The quest marker points to a cave system near the army camp, but the hideout is nowhere to be seen there. The hideout itself has a very recognizable door (as you saw in the vision...

Q: How to move faster in Terraria?

DrakeIs it possible move faster in Terraria? I mean, when you are very deep in the underground is it possible returning to the surface faster, using elevator, for example, or other things? Or when you need to move from the left edge of the world to the right edge?

I guess it's a matter of scale, however.
@Powerlord go figure
The epic fail category for TF2 is filled with Demomen.
This would have been a killer under Epic Fail, and thus it's filed under "30 second trailer"

@badp I've hit 1k this week due to the Witcher 2
@Fabian Merely?
I am disappoint!
cool
Well, I'm also close to a shiny new gold badge for one of the questions ;-)
I'm curious how big of a traffic spike we can get from this game
@Fabian When was the game released exactly?
Tuesday
13:29
The 17th?
Yep
Man, I'm hating stackexchange.com right now
it gives us at 17k visits/day, and that's bullshit
oh right. Vists, not pageviews.
Like...too low?
Oh.
We get a lot of pageviews per visits, that's very cool.
Don't you mean the other way around?
13:32
So, @Fabian, you'll be happy to know that the witcher has beat Portal 2 in terms of visits!
26.9k to 25.6k
Nice
YEAH BOYO
hi-fives Fabian
There's nothing extraordinary about referrals, so it must all be Google juice.
A hundred clicks from the Steam forums since the game release is the biggest referral so far. :/
So yeah, we're getting some Google juice.
Well, the Nekker nest question is getting views like crazy, and probably 99% of players will google that one
yeah, seriously, 10k views already? Jeepers.
13:35
@Fabian Actually it's the sum of 8 search terms combinations we aren't really ranked high in
The highest ranked one got us ~800 clicks, being the 7th result
@badp I don't trust the search term data at all, it always looks all kinds of crazy
We also are getting visits for the mutagens one.
For that one we're actually the #1 result.
It has half as many visits however.
Still, since the game release, the top google search result is...
drumroll
"angry birds walkthrough 3-15"
We're at the top for nekker nests, for me at least
13:37
sadtrombone
@Fabian yeah, but it's got less than 300 hits
However, we're also top for "nekker nest" (singular), which got a hundred more.

Q: What effect does increasing sign intensity have?

Q: Number of comment flags always equals number of upvotes?

CharlesSince the reskin of the 10k flagged post/comment review page, I've noticed a curious trend: Each of those flagged comments has the same number of upvotes as flags.

Q: Identify a shooter game with mushrooms, snakes and lobsters?

soulBitHi guys, I played a game in the mid 90s that was on the Apple Mac (Power PC I think), which involved shooting a snake like creature that came down from the top of the screen. The game had a static background, with your ship at the bottom. You could move it from side to side, and up and down a...

Otherwise it's fun to die as frequently as possible.
I suspect that Gargoyle quest is bugged, I see the same 4 runes in all chamber with different hints. It's also randomized, so I have a different puzzle and can't even try to answer the questions about it.
Oh hey, actual people on the chat.
Any of you fine gents familiar with terraria?
15:21
@Aubergine I am aware of it.
Been thinking of buying - but never played.
Having troubles ?
No, I was just wondering if it's basically some sort of 2D minecraft.
Sure looks like that from the trailers I've seen.
(Not that I've ever had a go at minecraft. I suspect I won't cope well with the aimlessness)
@Aubergine I think it may have more of a focus on exploration then minecraft but....I think you're right
I wish it had a less awkward HUD
That's enough hearts and stars to show a counter instead.
I wish it had less awkward attack animations
I'd seriously have a problem playing it for that reason alone
Nah, the animations are peculiar, but not negatively so
15:33
@badp They actually seem lazy to me
Still, I seriously doubt it's my cup of tea.
@Wipqozn Yeah, well, it's kinda the style. Less focus on arts, more focus on mechanics.
@badp Yeah - either way, it has a deeper combat system then minecraft I believe
@Wipqozn I believe so
@badp I've thought about buying it - but something tells me it could just turn out be flat and boring :/
15:35
Well, it's flat alright

</bad-pun-of-the-day>
@badp You win the bad pun award
for best bad pun
bows, cries, goes get prize
Certainly Terrania seems to have a better water engine.
Let's go mindfuck people some more
@badp I think if you're looking for more an exploration and combat game - instead of a building one - Terraria would be a better choice over minecraft. But if you're looking into a building game...then minecraft. It's in 3D being the main reason. Being in 2D just limits what you can build.
@badp that reminds me. End of the world today!
@Wipqozn It does however makes it easier to build stuff.
@badp It does - but I think it would be less rewarding in the end.
16:14
@badp Amazon is a little less good than others in one point. It's more than a lot better at a lot of other points.
I'm continuously surprised by the amount of engie support engies never ever notice

Q: Anyone knows this puzzle minigame for DSi

nightcrackerI played this game a few times at a friend and I want it myself, but I do not know the name.

Q: Automatically sell junk in the Witcher 2

Is there any way to sell all junk automatically, or at least ...
