ICO set a major precedent for the escort archetype, as both Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and later Resident Evil 4 made excellent use of support characters who needed to be protected and escorted, but who had mission-critical abilities of their own. Was ICO the first, though? What's the ea...
If you need a particular weapon, like a Shotgun, Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle etc, you can swap your current weapon with a marine to take his. So marines can be a good way to get weapons in certain situations.
Additionally, a marine will carry any weapon you give him until he is killed, or you s...
And then I write this monster on a simple question.
"In the end, it's fine as long as the correct answer remains highly voted. If this question gets a higher score than the other one, then... we'd have some problems in how it implies that it is more useful and more correct than the correct answer. Nothing that would be further of Gnome's fault, though. [May 21st, pruned comments. -bp] – Grace Note♦ May 6 at 16:12"

I'm not sure if it would be a pro or a con towards my moderatorship... but I imagine were I to get the position, I'd spend a lot of time disagreeing with @badp.
If you two just argued, it would be bad. However if you were able to have intelligent discussions, it can be a good way to move forward stronger policies.
@RavenDreamer The first few months of elected moderatorship between @badp and I were pretty much a whole lot of this as often as we were on the same side. It helps to have a different perspective, it helps forge better solutions.
One of the things I've noticed about the way World of Warcraft is developed is that, as players reach the current level cap and wait for the next expansion to drop, a series of placeholder patches are released that include dungeons and raids and increasingly superior equipment. However, each of t...
Which is a jab at Nintendo, since one of its defining features is that it has 1/2 the battery life of its immediate predecessor and 1/4 of the Lite model from 2006ish.
@GraceNote At this point, the DSi is a dead technology. From what I hear, the 3DS get 8-10 hours of battery life for DS games, and I've heard that's what the DSi/DSi XL get.
and the 3DS price drop now puts it at the same price the DSi XL was selling at.
This is hilarious, I just saw someone berating another person on the SourceMod forum for having bad English (they're using Google Translate), but the person that was doing the berating is talking about CarVars...
Honestly, I hated more the fact that for the 'interactive cut scene things' where you had to look around and focus the reticle on the one minor space that would advance forward.
If I want to use two mods together, e.g. SinglePlayerCommands and TooManyItems (which don't state compatibility with one another), how can I tell if they will work together (and not break Minecraft - forcing me to re-download a fresh copy)?
The question is for Etrian Odyssey 1. As I understand it, the boost adds 5 points to the skill used. But if the skill is already at 10, does boost have an effect in this case?
Some people call it Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA), Valve is calling the upcoming Dota 2 a Action RTS (Real Time Strategy) and I've seen some using Action RPG.
Has the community come to an understanding?
I do not play these games much (or well :P) so I don't know.
I've recently played Diablo 1 and 2 and I'm totally hooked. Now I've been wondering what genre this game belongs to, so it would help me find similar games.
The only place that I see that Indie is a genre is on Steam, and my teacher tells me that Indie isn't a genre of games.
What do you think? Can we say that Indie is a genre?
I've lately heard the term Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) used as a video game genre. The Wikipedia entry redirects to the "Defense of the Ancients" genre, hinting that this is used exclusively to describe DotA-like games (e.g. creeps, lanes, heroes, towers etc. etc.)
However, I've also ...
"Unforgettable Classics" would be my take. :)

What subcategory of "games" would "Dope Wars" belong in? Does "role playing" sound accurate?
I have seen a lot of messages on this site about Dwarf Fortress, what is it? what genre of game is it and were can I get it?
