I'm sure everyone else here has already seen that, but it's new to me...
@daxelrod That'd be correct.

@daxelrod I wasn't trying to be rude. =]
I'm kind of the one to talk to about silly questions, to be honest.
@GnomeSlice I didn't take it as such.

Q: Can I Pass Out from Excessive Drinking?

GnomeSliceI've noticed that if I grab two or more alcoholic beverages in rapid succession, my sight gets wonky and blurry. The length of time this effect lasts for seems to increase if I grab a larger number of bottles. Is it possible to pass out, if enough alcoholic beverages are consumed in rapid succe...

Q: Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?

GnomeSliceI used to play this game a lot when I was younger, but I don't think I ever actually managed to find Carmen Sandiego. Where the heck is she??

Q: What Does 'Exit' Mean?

GnomeSliceI've noticed a small square button hiding in the top right corner of my Die2Nite screen. It simply bears a red X and the ominous intonation, "EXIT" I fear greatly what would transpire if ever I clicked upon it. What severe fate awaits all ye who depress the button (What does it do)?

And so on.

Q: Will Smoking Too Much Kill Me?

GnomeSliceI've been mulling this over for a while now, and am unable to get all of the information I require to make an informed decision. My life hinges on my decision, and I'd appreciate some input. The thing is: I know smoking is bad for my health, but can I die because of it? ...now for some context...

And my most recent:

Q: What is Satan Doing Here?

GnomeSliceIn the first bonus mine, after finding my way through a veritable maze of impenetrable rock formations, I managed to catch up with Satan. What on Earth is he doing down here? Does he have any kind of significance?

Oh, right.
7
Q: How do I Know if I'm Dead?

GnomeSliceI've been playing Die2Nite for 3 days now, and still have basically no idea where to find many of the game's various notifications and alerts. So, following this trend, how will I know when I'm dead? Where will this be listed? I haven't got much longer to live, and would like to know where to ...

I should probably stop.
@daxelrod Welcome to the wonderful world of Gaming.SE.

Q: What's wrong with the G-Diffuser?

GnomeSliceSo I was playing Starfox 64 the other day, and I noticed something disturbing. No matter what course of action I take, if this blue bird guy gets shot too much in the first stage, he tells me that something has happened to his G-Diffuser, and he has to break off. Hmmmmm... What does this so-...

It's funny because of the answer.
It's legit.
I had no idea that Starfox and F-Zero were the same universe!
(Those are the two SNES games I've spent the most time on)
@daxelrod Weird, huh.

Q: What's so Great About Heroes?

GnomeSliceI've obviously picked up on the fact that becoming a "Hero" in Die2Nite generates a wealth of new options for the player. "Heroic Actions" that can be used outside the town walls are arguably the most useful of these. Can someone give me a complete list of all of the possibilities that can be g...

I don't even play Die2Nite any more. And all of my best questions are about it.
Then of course, there's Bioshock.
15
Q: Techniques for Playing Wrench Tennis Effectively?

GnomeSliceSo, I noticed that in the Medical Pavilion stage of Bioshock, there is one hallway you can enter that has a quaint little machine in it. If you hit a button at the other end of the hallway, this machine starts shooting out tennis balls. There are various trophies lined up along the wall, and v...

Okay, I'm stopping.
Well. That's new.
@daxelrod you should try this.

@GnomeSlice Tell me about it, I need to be convinced to install the Unity web player
:)
@daxelrod o.o Do it.
How can you live without Raptor Safari?
My life has been so empty!
@daxelrod Seriously, it's amazing.
You actually have no idea.
15
Q: How Many Ways Can I Run Over Those Raptors?

GnomeSliceSo I'm playing the web version of Raptor Safari, and it dawns on me that I've been slaughtering raptors in a large variety of different ways, all of which have been generating different amounts of score. Which brings me to the question: Does anyone have a complete list of all of the different w...

Wow, I just made the conneciton that ALL of those questions were posted by @GnomeSlice

Q: What's the name of this RTS?

Jonathan ChanI remember playing this game a couple years ago - hoping someone else here has played it, and can identify it from my limited memories ;) Here's all I can remember: The backstory went something like this: a new planet was discovered by Earth, but other space-faring races also wanted the planet,...

@GnomeSlice I'm about to head out, I hope work goes OK in a few hours! (And I hope it doesn't involve heavy machinery)
@daxelrod I'm in college. ...Where did that come from?
Oh, I guess I'm misremembering. Someone was saying they didn't know why they weren't asleep becasue they had work in a few hours
That was @mordi2k.

Q: RAGE: What are Feltrite Crystals traded for?

CyberSkullIn RAGE, Fellix Hagar tells me that Feltrite Crystals are very rare and only to trade them for something I really want. They can be sold to a merchant for $25 each. Can they be traded for anything at all in the game, or should I just sell them immediately?

Q: Why does my 3DS Activity Log claim I've spent less time playing a game than the game itself?

MrGomezI've noticed an interesting property of the 3DS Activity Log: it seems to track less time played than the internal play clock for most titles I've tried on the system. Take a DS game I recently completed, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, as an example. Its internal system clock claims a play time of ...

Quick query for you - would a question on how to get a steering wheel to work on GT5 on my PS3 be on- or off-topic?
Ontopic?
@RoryAlsop Why'd it be off topic?
@badp Well - it's hardware or config so I wasn't sure

Q: Battlefield 3 Beta squad allocation

AlbortIs it possible, or is there any way, to assign yourself to a particular squad in the beta for BF3...? Or is it a purely random assignation?

The odds of that also diminish slightly if you don't order food or drinks and don't make the staff use the heaters
The odds of that also diminish slightly if you don't sneeze.
The odds of that also diminish slightly if you don't actually take the goddamn plane.
Turning off phones? Seriously? I can see turning off the antenna
but it's just paranoia for me
The entire flight industry seems like the autocelebration of overengineering.

I like how they even force you to turn off the music player.

@FallenAngelEyes No, Space Channel 5 Part 2.
@FallenAngelEyes Always a tough decision.
You should buy Dark Souls.
There, decision made.

Also, I should be heading off to class.

Q: Why are the prices for MadCatz TE sticks so unpredictable?

ayckosterNearly a year ago I bought 2 Xbox 360 Madcatz TE sticks for 100 € each. Then they raised the price to about 150 €, which is OK I guess because Madcatz itself sells them for 150 $ / €. Shortly afterwards the price was like 300 €. Now you can barely get one in europe for less then 200 €. Even if ...

Q: Is there any way to help with the sniper rifle kickback?

Doozer BlakeIn RAGE, is there an add-on of sorts for the sniper rifle to help with the crazy kickback when the gun is shot while fully zoomed? If so, can it be built or purchased somewhere? I noticed other add-ons for the shotgun, and the sniper rifle does get a loading mod. I was able to luck my way throug...

Q: What Are The Uses For The Admired Ability?

Omer van Kloeten I keep seeing challenges that result in my Admired ability rising. What use is there for this ability?

@FallenAngelEyes That's only the RP price
Oh :(
well I'm more willing to pony out $5 than 6300IP, so I guess convenience over cash wins again

Q: What does the [h+]^3 in the icon mean?

Doozer BlakeOn the Xbox 360 version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, on a user's gamercard it shows the following icon to indicate that you've played it recently.

Q: In Dark Souls, can player from different platforms interact with each other?

ExtrakunMy friends owe the PS3 version of the game, while I am playing on the Xbox 360. Will we be able to join each others' games?

@Powerlord Ending in eight and a half hours.
@Ullallulloo Really? Weird. Normally sales end at 10am Pacific (2.5 hours from now).
it appears you haven't learned not to feed the star list @GnomeSlice
@badp We had a new user who thought I was clever, it seems.
Luckily we know better
runs
How fortunate.
@Thom you did that star, didn't you.
@GnomeSlice: Hey, do you have Killing Floor?
15:04
@Powerlord No, unfortunately. Doesn't look that interesting to me anyway. I've seen one of my friends play it.
Actually, maybe I should ask people: Do any of you have Killing Floor, and are you going to show up this weekend if you do?
4
@Powerlord Have a star, since I can't pin.
Ah, but @Raven can.
I like Killing Floor better than Left 4 Dead 1/2 even if the graphics aren't as good.
@GnomeSlice Powerlord can pin.
@RavenDreamer Can he pin his own thing though?
15:06
That's why he's all italics and stuff
@RavenDreamer Oh... is that what that means?
Wow.
@Powerlord Yes, and maybe but probably not.
I think I may have linked this yesterday after I found out Steve Jobs had died.
(Please don't go looking for it @Powerlord)
in English Language and Usage, 13 hours ago, by Sonic The Hedgehog
I bet Steve Jobs is in iCloud 9 right now... We will miss you Steve.
@GnomeSlice Yes, I pin my own stuff in Game On all the time.
Where Marco is going on about invisible enemies.
Reminder: Game On is Killing Floor this weekend at 7pm UTC Saturday and Sunday.

See? No problems pinning it.
Which is also a sneaky way of starring my own posts. :P

@Powerlord jealous
15:23
For the people new to Killing Floor, you might want to take a quick look at the Perks (Class) list.
@GnomeSlice You did
Keeping in mind that you can level any perk at any time regardless of whether you're playing that perk or not.
@Powerlord what perk do normally paly as?
@Wipqozn Sharpshooter or Field Medic. I always Start as Field Medic so I can get cheap armor at the first shop.
I recommend starting as Sharpshooter for new players, btw, if only because you deal extra damage from headshots.
@Powerlord I do the same thing with the field medic. I normally go field medic, demolitions, or support.
15:25
Early enemies die in one hit from headshots, later enemies... don't.
I've been trying to level up Firebug lately, too.
It's not useful in later game, though. :/
Firebug is amazing in the earlier waves. Once you start getting more stronger specimens though, it becomes considerable less useful.
I like Sharpshooter.
I've only ever played Killing Floor Solo
so I've never beaten the Patriarch.
@RavenDreamer Yeah, kind of hard to do solo.
Games not intended for solo play at all.
btw, to level Field Medic, just heal people at every opportunity. :P
15:30
You're at work, aren't you, @Powerlord?
Nevermind then.
Just remember, left-click is heal the player in front of you, right-click is heal yourself.
@RavenDreamer Yup.
(Fall break started for my college today, so everything on campus is closed. By the transitive property of self-centeredness, everyone else has the day off also.)
Wow, I didn't realize the M14 had a discount as you level sharpshooter.
I always seem to go for the crossbow instead anyway.
@Powerlord Indeed. In fact you should never real yourself in between rounds, always let someone else do it.
@Raven I suck at Evelynn :(
15:34
Fleshpounds have headshot resistance? That sucks. :/
@FallenAngelEyes Evelynn sucks.

my story is out! http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/story.php?s=165
I love these ELU people. That was incredible.
@RavenDreamer How come?
@FallenAngelEyes Because she had balance problems because of her stealth. Because stealth is getting reworked, they left Evelyn underpowered rather than let her continue to dominate until they changed stealth.
Oh :(
I'm also not very good at ganking, having played pretty much only laning chars so far
15:51
Out of all the trailers you need to watch today, this is one of them. http://bit.ly/pSt3ct
@GnomeSlice Why is that a Machinima?
@RavenDreamer (didn't watch it, looked cool)
You linked something you hadn't watched yourself?
mind boggled
@RavenDreamer Well, I'm not interested in many of the games lots of other people are.
It didn't look like a game at all.
15:58
Was it a bad trailer?
I don't think it was a trailer, is what I'm getting at.
I don't know what it was.
@RavenDreamer Was it bad?
@FallenAngelEyes I did warn you that she'd be mighty difficult to pick up
