Q: How to Power Redstone Through A Block

I have seen this in youtube videos, a person places a redstone torch on the wall like in the picture and it activates a circuit. No matter how many layouts I have tried I can't seems to get a power output on the other side. My question is, how can I power redstone on the other side of this stone ...

Q: Question about 3D TV?

This is not exactly related to 3D gaming but thought its realted. I have a 3D TV (which support "2D to 3D","Side By Side","Top and Down"). I use HDMI cable (3D supported 1.4) to connect my TV to the PC. My PC doesn't have a graphics card capable of outputting 3D format.(like nVidia nVision or ...

@Gnome Any luck?

GnomeSlice ツ

@KevinY Nope.

But it definitely wasn't my fault.

Kevin Y

:/

GnomeSlice ツ

Seriously.

Hmph. Still waiting to shut down

Other guy tried a restart like half an hour ago.

It's probably on the host's side.

Probably.

In other news, my Sandstone test world is growing.

GnomeSlice ツ

@KevinY ?

(Attempts to upload screenshot in vain.)

Sandstone test world?

Kevin Y

I had to upload this into an answer I made – couldn't do it from chat. :/

All the Redstone experimenting I do.

And all the screenshots that appear in my answers.

Oh well, that was enough Minecraft for one day anyways.

Why sandstone?

Kevin Y

4:32 AM

Because it looks cool.

GnomeSlice ツ

Should use redstone ore

Kevin Y

Before Sandstone was released, I used a grass world, and passive mobs would always spawn.

GnomeSlice ツ

Or something else horribly hard to see redstone on.

Kevin Y

Heh.

It would take much too long to mine out the ground.

GnomeSlice ツ

@KevinY Hasn't sandstone been around since before redstone?

Kevin Y

4:33 AM

Nope, it's pretty recent.

GnomeSlice ツ

You mined that by hand?

Kevin Y

Beta 1.2

@GnomeSliceツ Ahahahahaha no.

I mean if I wanted to build underground, it would take a long time to mine Redstone Ore.

GnomeSlice ツ

/give redstoneore

:3

Kevin Y

I downloaded the world, but it would have been just as easy to select a large area with WorldEdit and flatten it into Sandstone.

A: What does "information porn" mean?

I remember Joel Spolsky giving a definition of porn as, "Looking at things you can't afford," which I always found amusing and apt.

Stack Overflow Blog: Welcome Valued Associate Chris Jaeger

Posted by Robert Cartaino on August 9th, 2011

You might know Chris better as “Grace Note,” the moderator extraordinaire on our Gaming Stack Exchange.

I appointed Chris to a pro tem moderator position nearly a year ago. I wasn’t an avid user of Gaming SE, but I was continually amazed how often Chris’s name kept popping up in our moderator chat room. Chris was quickly becoming The Person to quote when you needed a clear, compelling explanation of how this community-management stuff should work. Even in our meta community, Chris was earning a ridiculous amount of rep in a short period of time. You should read some of his posts because it’s really good stuff. …

Q: how to reduce crashes during MP load games in Civ5?

During playing MP games with my friends, there is about 70% chance that we will not be able to load save game. This means that we need to start game from scratch. Loading older saves also result in fatal exception. Is there some way to increase chances of successful loading in MP games? Single-p...

Q: Does time pass on a Minecraft SMP server if nobody is logged on?

I have a private Minecraft server where we are 2 people playing. Earlier today I logged on, observed it was night, and logged back off. Then I logged on just now, it was day again. In the meantime, I know the other player has not been online. So my questions (they are related) are these: Do...

Q: Identify puzzle game involving removal of adjacent balls/blocks of same color

When I was learning Turbo Pascal in school I "invented" a puzzle game described below. Later (late '90s) I found that this game had apparently been invented before, as a very similar version was included in a linux distribution. (I do not remember which one, and currently do not have any linux in...

Q: Are Nintendo 3DS consoles PAL/NTSC dependent?

I am thinking of buying a 3DS when the price drop comes into place in America, however I live in Australia. Will Australian games (generally PAL) work on a US 3DS (NTSC)? Do these restrictions apply to the 3DS console?

@badp No, I don't have to change my name. Everyone is more familiar with me under this name, it'd undermine my position as a Community Manager were I to change name.
