> I actually use advanced compression techniques to blend Rock N Roll with Ravadelic and the Document One remix of Someone Else's (both other instrumentals) throughout the song (be sure to check those out on YouTube). Rock N Roll is never played by itself. Those acapellas weren't added until the very end for people to sing along to. A comment like this helps educate the fans though which is good. Also, thanks for the dislike

I know that mobs are despanwed in earlier versions of the game. I heard that in the new 1.8 update that mobs are no longer despawned or are saved when they are despawned? Is this true? If not is there any thing that suggests that this will be implemented? Thanks.
I just noticed that my class files have certain methods as part of the vote style object instead of the vote object, which explains the error I'm getting about an unknown variable.
Recently, I bought Portal 2 from Steam. I downloaded and installed it on my PC, which is running Windows. Unfortunately, days later, my PC crashed, and it was rendered useless. Thankfully, my technician helped me transfer everything in my hard drives to a back up drive.
Yesterday, I got a new PC...
When someone asked about the difference between Dr. Lautrec and Professor Layton, someone on Joystiq responded with this:
> There are a few key differences. For instance, Doctor Lautrec is a DOCTOR, not a PROFESSOR. Also, Doctor Lautrec has a hot blonde for a partner, instead of some 12 year old boy.
@Mana Also, he confirmed something that I had heard but wasn't sure was true - that Aeroplane was basically written 10 blocks from where I grew up and was living at the time.
I have recently acquired my sister's Wii(PAL) from Australia. I live in the Philippines(which is an NTSC region). She sent me a NBA 2k11 with the Wii(PAL) and I was hoping if I could play any NTSC games for my Wii.
I was planning to buy Rockband 3 or Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock here(including t...
I am new to FIFA and do not know how to dribble properly during games. I can execute most of the "tricks" in the arena (1-on-1 vs goalkeeper) on a regular basis, so once I know what to do I can pull it of.
But during games it is very complicated to dribble once I select Semi-Pro, as I do not kno...
In Torchlight there is a 1st level Vanquisher power called Ricochet. I have used the power, but I can't quite figure out the circumstance under which conditions it ricochets the shot, and I can't tell how many enemies it effects, and whether I can be hit by my own ricochet.
How does Ricochet ...
I have set up three combustion engines to a quarry, all three of them are cooled by one pipe coming from two pumps.
P - Pump
Q - Quarry
E - Engine
P+ +--E
+-+-EQ
P+ +--E
Sometimes the engines overheat. Should I set up one pump for each engine? This sounds like a bit overhead to me.

With 80+ champions and more being added, and endless build possibilities, I know it's unrealistic to ask "which one of these is better" because there is no right answer. I assume that one is not flat out better than the other for all situations, otherwise there wouldn't be an option for both.

I managed to unlock every ending of Following Role Models which grants me a very vague description of the location of every photo.
Using this, I managed to find all but the fifth photo. Wherever I go, it never seems to switch away from "Very Far Away".

I am trying to remember the name of this computer game for kids. It was most likely made in the late 1990's. The story is about a little dragon leaving his castle and has to go on a quest to find objects and fulfill quests. He must buy pies to bring to fairies, and must get flowers from an old cr...
The way the current gaming promotional grants are working is a bit problematic.

Still yes. If something is run with input from another group, it doesn't mean they have the final say on anything, just that there input is considered in the decision process.
It doesn't mean those running the show can't just decide to not go with what the community says, and do their own thing.
I think something important to remember here is that SE is giving us free games off of grant money, which is something they don't have to do. I just hope no one's getting entitled over this, because it really is an awesome offer for us as users.
@FallenAngelEyes No, but if you make a promise, even of free stuff, you should keep it. If you promise your users a community-run site, you should give them that.
@ArdaXi I really don't think this case is as egregious as the I'm going to kill it all with fire situation. This seems to me more like "This is a mess for Brett and the rest of us to keep track of, let's streamline the process"
@FallenAngelEyes That's not what it seems like to me.
@Mana Until he changes the way he does things, I can't, no.
@FallenAngelEyes This is how I read that post. "This seems like a mess for me to keep track of. I'm going to kill it with fire until I can find out how I think this is done best. You'll hear from me when I've figured it out."
My Sim Social game is broken in Chrome - it keeps loading but crashes after awhile ALL THE TIME. I loaded it in Safari and it works. So I'm guessing Chrome somehow cached that failed swf.
I just want to refresh it so that it is redownloaded again. I don't want to empty my cache as I also have Ko...
> Or maybe, just maybe @RonanForman added you so that they could send you diamonds every day in the mail. And two tickets to that thing you love. They probably didn't, of course, but anything is possible. It is Glitch, after all.
Here is what happened: I was out last night, running music and lights for an improv comedy show, when I see a DM on Twitter from my co-worker Aarthi that Jeff thinks the gaming grant is broken.
I could not do anything about it because it was a Saturday night and I was, you know, being busy not being at work. I got home at 1 AM, replied to Jeff's concern saying that the Gaming Community wanted the Grant run this way, they all understand it (seemingly at least), and that it is almost over and has been running fine, and to wait until the round is over on Wednesday to figure anything out.
OR at least wait until I am actually in the office on Monday morning to discuss it.
Jeff took that to mean, "I will deal with it" and closed everything on a Sunday morning. Again, when I am not at work, without listening to my opinion or discussing it with me.
Jeff is big on transparency, that's why we do everything in the Meta, so I will honestly tell you that this has wasted my time, made me very angry and stressed when I am supposed to be, you know, not working. And as far as I am concerned, someone else can take over the Gaming Grant.
I'm sorry that it happened, it was not up to me at all, in any way shape or form.
> Or maybe they did it so they can beat you at the game and be victorious. I am a computer and anyway, there is really no way I could tell even if I had achieved self-consciousness.
Either way, it's not creepy at all - it's fun. So ... enjoy!

@BrettWhite I'm confused with what exactly Jeff sees as problematic with the system as it was running, his meta post doesn't actually say anything, well, at all.
In Harvest Moon: A Tale of Two Towns, I understand that in order to form relationships with people I have to talk to them every day and I have to give them gifts that they like.
Is there some way to know how well you are doing? I suspect it is probably something simple that I am missing, but ev...
@ThomasMcDonald The overwhelming meta part with all the questions at the same time I understand, though aborting it when there was not much time left anyway doesn't make sense to me. I find the rules pretty clear, there is just a large amount of text there (most of which is necessary at some point), so we probably just need a tl;dr for Jeff.
The attempt to use voting to sort the users according to rep was probably not helping, that just made no sense to try and use voting for a purpose it was not meant for.

Yeah, I still don't really see the point of deleting it all
@ThomasMcDonald I also see that as only complicating things and making it harder. Gaming.meta would have survived another day or two swamped with those questions, the ideal time to improve the process was after that round finished. The process was not broken, just a bit too noisy on meta.
To be honest, I never realized Brett had no involvement in this at all. I assumed he voiced some concerns to JEff that it wasn't going well, and JEff decided to step in and help. Not that Jeff just decided to step in despite Brett saying it was going well.
