Q: Seeking for multiplayer card games playable online with friends

SaxtusI am searching for a way to play famous card games, like Spades, with my friends, on Windows 7, through Internet. Unfortunately, everything I stumbled upon either is played only with random people (e.g. MSN Games/Zone), either has stamp-sized cards (e.g. Yahoo! Games) or both (e.g. Pogo). Any so...

Q: Very high ping issues in Black Ops multiplayer.

Bruce ConnorI've been playing Black Ops Multiplayer for about a week now, and something's been annoying me for a while. I can never find any servers with ping lower than 180. Ever! I live in Brazil, and there are dozens of servers available in my country, but all of them are above 180 ping for me. It's so ...

Would anyone care to hear my sound-class assignment?
Sure, what is it?
...oh, that kind of hearing
This was my first time using FL Studio, so bear with me. I'm not quite sure why it turned out so quiet, either...
Gimme a moment to get headphones
03:03
@GraceNote They have good bass?
I don't really know. They're good headphones, though. Got'em for my birthday last year.
So, what kind of composition is this? Recording or MIDI?
@GraceNote MIDI, I guess.
I definitely didn't record it. :P
You... guess?
Well, I'm not sure it's ALL MIDI.
I mean, I created some synths. I'm not really good with the terminology. :P
Sure, it's MIDI.
...this thing DOES loop!
It's very eerie in a good way. Whatcha studying?
Also, I am the happy. I am inexplicably at the top of the reputation leader boards for this week by a single point.
This is most likely going to tumble off at the end of the day, but I took a screenshot for posterity.

Q: What's the advantage of using the lock-on shot in Deathsmiles?

ChristianI've been playing Deathsmiles for some time now, and I still can't seem to figure out the usefulness of the lock-on shot. I find it slow and difficult to use effectively and never use it, yet I see pro replays using it all the time. When is it best to use the lock-on shot? Are any bosses mo...

This is for my 'Soundscapes for multimedia' class.
Interesting. Media is a fun study topic
@Feeds I actually know the answer to this, but it's buried deep in my head right now.
Oh dear...
My progress wars progress reset...
:(
My DeathSmiles instruction booklet is downstairs. I must construct a robotic walking device to provide transit and fetch the device for me.
03:20
Current score: 1.52 /5
Nice. Someone 0-bombed me.
So far... no one else is answering the DeathSmiles questions. With luck, this means I can spend the weekend setting the 360 back up and playing a few rounds to refresh my brain.
Good on ye.
Hey Grace, have you ever 1 credited Deathsmiles?
What did the wanted posters say when the psychic gnome escaped the Stockades?
Small Medium At Large
I am ashamed that I laughed at that.
@Christian Fairly close to it, but... Tyrannosatan is a problem.
03:31
man, same here. if no one else responds to the question, I'll be looking forward to your answer.
I'll see what I can do.

Grace NoteThis is something I've been dwelling on for two weeks. The migration of this question has inspired me to post this now.

Q: Can you finish the game siding with Caesar as a woman?

John RudyAs is fairly well-documented, Caesar's Legion is extremely sexist -- women do not serve his armies, are subservient to men in all ways, etc. So my question is, if you are playing New Vegas as a woman, are you able to side with Caesar throughout the game and for the endgame? Does that modify any ...

Q: What´s the most lightweight 3d game?

EdgarOnce, I read about a project (not a commercial one) wich consisted in a very light game similar to Cube or something like that (a 3d game). That game could be on a classic floppy disk. That seemed very interesting, but I can´t remember where did I read that. ¿Any similar project or game available?

Q: Gaming resources: How can I find new games to play?

Brant What resources (websites, chat rooms, et cetera) are most useful in finding new games to play? Please also specify why they are useful. Limit your answer to resources that pertain to a single genre.

@Brant Can you ping everyone with one msg in chat?
Probably, but I'm not going to be the one to test it.
You tagged your question game-rec, so my instinct is to close it with fire... but we are trying to end all that. I'll put down my torch and pitchfork.
I was tempted to tag it something like [oh-god-please-dont-hurt-me]

Q: How can I arm a friendly peasant?

C. RossIn Dwarf Fortress adventure mode, can I equip my unarmed peasant with weapons and armor? Some of these plucky blue collar types have managed to survive a lot and I'd like to see them upgraded.

@Feeds Arming peasants is always a bad idea. When will people learn?!
@LessPop_MoreFizz I was expecting creepers.
Now I am disappoint.
That said, man, Square Enix sure is making a ton of games as of late.
Well, Squeenix owns Eidos in this case

Yeah, sorry. I forgot I could just flag a post for mod attention instead of trying to track one down on my own.

Q: Help identify this PC racing game.

itaiferberI remember I used to play a motocross-type racing game on my PC that came out in around 2000-2001. It was on a blue CD, its soundtrack was pretty great, and it allowed you to race both motorcycles and motorbikes. I know this is a little bit vague, but does this sound familiar to anyone?

Q: What items can I find in Die2Nite?

Q: Starcraft 2 Galaxy editor mirroring tools?

RCIXI like my maps to be symmetrical, and I wanted to know since a casual poking around didn't find anything: Are there any commands or tools in the Starcraft 2 Galaxy editor to assist with making my maps symmetrical? Even an ability to export the heightmap for editing would work.

Or can you also choose people to play with?

@Mana what a horrible day you must've gone through
@badp it was pretty bad. I wanted to die in Die2Nite, but I didn't die. Game sucks, did not live up to expectations, would not play again.
@GraceNote I think I'm going to rollback to rev 2
...then vote close as off-topic game-rec.
It seems a lot of people are classing it as a game-rec
@GraceNote It was a game-rec. It got edited into an identify-this-game.
> What´s the most lightweight 3d game?
23:17
Asker has clarified that his intention was game-rec.
unless
Asker clarified that his intention was trivia
We should honor his intention and close it with extreme prejudice.
also with fire.
unless he's asking about the technique used to make those games so small hdd-wise
in which case we close and wish we could migrate to game dev.
I've heard @GraceNote called a lot of things but God is a new one.
23:18
Roll back done.
Y'know, it doesn't even have to... what, @Mana?
"@Grace Note: Thanks God, you figured out my point of interest."
from the comments on that question
> So I believe Edgar is trying to figure out what 3D game possesses the smallest size of hard disc space, basically by comparing similarly small games.
Ahem, it doesn't have to end up as a repository. You could just get the smallest game. Bingo. Done. Unlike a rec, it's not trying to narrow down options. It's trying to get a piece of knowledge. At least, that's my interpretation.
> Thanks God, you figured out my point of interest.
23:20
We could kill the comparison middleman and just go straight to the smallest
Sounds like an argument we've had in the past
"But new games get out all the time!"
:(
I... don't think we've had this argument before
That said, the answer is probably in the tons of amiga demos around :P
Just... how are we going to make sure it indeed is the smallestest ever?
...or how is the asker going to?
@badp Same way you verify any other unverifiable data. Assume our data is correct until proven otherwise
2 more close votes needed to close as off-topic rec
23:24
I think the problem with this question is that answers here should be sorted by size, not votes/accepted flag here.
For example, if I posted a game that is smaller than kkrieger right now, it'd have to get more than 4 upvotes to go on top, where the answer should belong.
The asker might very well give it the tick to let it float
but will he be around?
Isn't that the case for most anything we post that can get patched?

Q: Why Was My Progress Lost?

GnomeSliceI was playing Progress Wars again the other day, and I continued my progress all the way up to level 62, before calling it a night. However, the next day, I go to continue my progress, and It's gone. Back to level 1. Now I know I can't get my progress back, but can someone tell me why it might...

@GraceNote Patches happen after the question is asked, so it's not entirely the same thing.
I see what you mean, however.
Oh well, usually I tend to be very open to questions, not sure why I'd rather have this one closed.
If it's a matter of sifting through existing data, then it's a matter of knowing what's wrong and what's right. All that technically matters is that in the end, we get it right
I guess closed is better than open and unanswered/incorrectly answered.
@GraceNote Do we have a list of all games ever we can use for that purpose?
Including demos that hardly qualify as a game, like .kkrieger
23:29
I don't think I espoused to possess such a list.
Nite. (sorry, must leave.)
Good night, @badp
No worries. I think we're blind debating right now.
"If it's a matter of sifting through existing data" -- I just don't think we have this data to begin with.
(I'm assuming you're describing how one'd go about to answer the question here.)
(If you're describing how you'd assign the tick... then duh :))
@badp I was more saying "work with what we got". If we don't got the currently smallest, then we're wrong, but at least we'll be right within our wrong!
