Q: How do I make the XBox 360 slim recognise a USB backup?

I used to own an older model XBox 360 (the big white model). I took a USB backup of my saved games, etc. to an 8GB USB stick. I then needed to use this USB stick for something else, so I used dd on Linux to copy the entire drive's image to a file on my PC. I eventually replaced the older XBox 36...

Q: Animal Crossing New Leaf - Moving Town from Physical Version to Digital Version

So I have 2 copies of Animal Crossing New Leaf for the 3DS. I have a physical cart version and a digital version I downloaded from the eShop. I use them both on the one console...

Q: Is PS3 / PS4 Online Multiplayer Cross-Platform?

So now the PS4 is out... Does anyone know if PS4's and PS3's online multi-player is cross-platform? Ie. Can someone playing COD:Ghosts on a PS3 play someone on COD:Ghosts on a PS4?

Q: Recommendation for what game engine I should use?

I am currently in a concept stage of designing a 3D game, however I am having trouble deciding what game engine I should use. Some requirements would be: Designer-oriented Similar to Source in visuals Doesn't have to be very good when it comes to realism, i.e: http://www.gamerzines.com/wp-co...

kalina

I'll never get to 3k rep on AU though

so shrug

Sterno

@PrivatePansy That might have either been a typo or what a subset of the community calls the pwnhammer, because I think that's otherwise the right answer.

Fluttershy

@SaintWacko I have yet to try a Wanderer. I've been a Pyromancer both times I've played.

Braiam

01:28

@FEichinger if they used that creativity for something else...

Private Pansy

@Sterno Except of course the OP already says he has the pwnhammer

So the answer is useless either way

Braiam

dunno, more constructive

Sterno

Oh, definitely useless, no doubt.

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy Pyromancer is a good choice.

Pyromancy is really useful, since it doesn't scale with magic.

It's great to use with a melee build.

Sterno

Wanderer is the one that's lower level but with less stats, right?

Wipqozn

01:39

@Sterno no, it's the speedy mcgee.

Sterno

Oh. I'm thinking of Deprived.

Wipqozn

Pyromancy is actually the lowest starting level.

Sterno

I did Deprived on my last playthrough.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Deprived isn't a lower level.

Depirved is the one where all his stats are at 11 and his gear is crap.

Sterno

Just the opposite, as it turns out. He's the highest level.

Wipqozn

01:41

He's really not that good either.

IT's best to specialize in something.

Plus starting gear is arguable more important than stats anyways.

Sterno

Yeah. I picked him because he looked the worst.

If you've already played before, I don't know how much starting gear really matters

Wipqozn

Starting gear is more important in my opinion since some of the starting gear can be troublesome to obtain yourself.

Take the pyromancy flame for example.

I believe you can't get that yourself until quite a ways into the game.

Sterno

Maybe. I never really used magic except the heal spell. I just like smacking things with big swords

I should really play Demon's Souls

Wipqozn

I've played both souls games a bit, and have used magic and melee.

My first dark souls run was A dex build, so melee + ranged.

Bows are super useful.

@Sterno You should.

If you liked dark souls it's a no brainer.

Sterno

I hated bows too

My first Dark Souls guy was a thief.

Yuki

01:47

Who is ready to make love to a giant bird?

Sterno

Also, both times, the first thing I did was cap endurance, which is pretty much the wrong way to do things, but still somehow worked fine

well, "cap" being 40, not the actual cap

On the plus side, it meant when I found Havel's Set on my first playthrough, I could wear it and still move around.

@Sterno Where's the line between "mocking" and "okay, this answer's really bad and we need to either downvote it into oblivion or flag it, preferably both"?

Sterno

I don't know why there's ever a need to team up for downvotes in the first place

Or, for the one in question, flag it

I will grant that there are times that it helps to get more people to flag something. And we can probably manage that without insulting the user.

Yuki

So, we shouldn't post bad answers in here, I guess?

Because that tends to call in the mass downvoting.

A rosette called struva in Swedish is a thin, cookie-like deep-fried pastry of Scandinavian (Swedish and Norwegian) origin. Rosettes are traditionally made during Christmas time. They are made using intricately designed irons. The iron is heated to a very high temperature in oil, dipped into the batter, then re-immersed in the hot oil to create a crisp shell around the metal. The iron is immediately removed and the rosette is separated from the iron. Usually, the edges of the rosette are dipped into frosting or sugar.
