Q: What that alternate connector is for on the Xbox360 controller?

sergIf you look at wired Xbox360 controller it has what looks like 2 filters on its wire near USB connector. I only recently noticed that that bigger filter is actually an alternate connector with strange pin configuration. What is it for?

Q: .gifs of the Machinarium robot dancing, and the officer with a teddy bear?

MargaretI've been playing Machinarium, and the scene where the little robot dances to the band is never not adorable. Also, the officer hugging his teddy bear, same thing. I was wondering whether it was possible to obtain animated gifs of either of the above to use as icons?

Q: Halo: Reach and Call of Duty: Back Ops Controller mapping

pulkitsinhaIs it possible to have the same button/controller layout for Halo: Reach and Call of Duty: Black Ops? I have a lot of experience with Reach and only started playing Black Ops. I am difficulty switching between the control and can't seem to find a common scheme which fits both!

Q: Warlock spell coefficients in patch 4.0.3

Ondrej SlintákAs the title says, I'm looking for warlock spell coefficients in patch 4.0.3 of WoW. I found some info on wowwiki, but it's outdated (or at least I think it must have changed since 4.0.1 or earlier).

Q: Widescreen hack in Deus Ex: Invisible War not working

BloodsplatterI tried the WSGF Wiki hack to get DX:IW working in widescreen (1080p) but it's not working. Even changing the resolution inside the game does not seem to have an effect. All I get is a square with the game in and big vertical bands at both sides. Can anybody help me? It's really unplayable this w...

@ArdaXi did you survive last night's attack?
Yeah.

@ArdaXi It's probably a problem with fonts.

Err... how so?

Q: How do I build a magma-safe floodgate in Dwarf Fortress?

SLCI'm having difficulty doing this. I have access to things that are supposedly magma-safe, such as Alunite but when I try to build a floodgate using my Metalsmith's Forge, Alunite is not on the list of materials I can use to make it. I can't see any way to smelt it either. I think I have another f...

Q: Where is Deathwing?

BeemerGuySo I pretty much finished all Cataclysm quests and yet to see any quest that leads me to Deathwing. This is probably a dumb question, but weren't we supposed to go kill him like we did to Lich King? Or am I missing something?

@badp What do you mean, "the first distinction"?

Q: Getting good at Lumines

RobbI see people with scores of 189+ on the 60 second time attack. I'm lucky to break 60 blocks. What are some concepts those people are using to be so successful? This is the Steam version of the game.

@BlaXpirit I assume he's referring to the first of...

Q: How do I get medals / promotions in Alien Swarm?

McKayI see them on people, and they can be low level or high level, and I don't know where they get them from.

Those things
Must be it...
@Mana btw, do you play it? ^^
I used to.
aww, why did you leave such a nice game?
16:23
:(
Blame university
oh
but instead of sitting here in chat, you could play alien swarm :D
not on this netbook :(
My desktop computer's back in res so I'm stuck with my netbook and its inability to handle more than one demanding process at any given time
Heh, I remember that "Who gets the kill" Alien Swarm question. I certainly can't fault you for creativity in terms of coming up with that answer format.

Q: How many veichles are there in Just Cause 2?

DrakeIn Just Cause 2, Steam version, there is an achievement called Trying Anything Once that says "Drive all 104 vehicles". But 104 is the number of vehicles with DLC or without? What is then the total number of vehicles that you can drive in Just Cause 2?

YEA away for the weekend and when I come back, I'm a 10k user! Wee!
Also thanks @Mana
@Oak No problem, no problem. And congrats on that super special awesome 10k. :)

So like, am I the only one for whom gravatars have not been displaying for the past 30 minutes or so?
Also, I love how our Christmas present from Superuser is a bunch of migrated questions.

Q: What are the differences between the English and French versions of Die2Nite?

ManaAs Die2Nite is originally a French game called Hordes, the English version was released a while after the French version. The result of this is that those of us who play the English version often get updates pushed to the servers months after the French receive them. I'm interested in knowing wh...

@Mana (Gravatars seem fine to me right now) Just kick them in the shins! Also, merry Christmas. :P
Meeeerry Christmas!!

Q: Happy holidays!!

ManaMerry Christmas or whichever holiday you celebrate today/over the upcoming days to everyone here at Gaming.SE. Congrats to everyone on getting the game-rec debate settled, too. Seriously happy about that. Here's a video to get some Gaming holiday spirit going: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j...

@Mana I wrote the updated FAQ :)
But you are correct, I'll close it.
Thanks. I'm going around adding close votes on a bunch of game-rec questions that are still open.
Oak
Oak
I saw, that's cool
Just your "go read the FAQ" was funny :)
Heh.
Since we don't really have a policy post yet that's the most succinct thing to link to I could find.
Oak
Oak
I'm linking the FAQ as well
Maybe not the best wording there, but I think it's short and decisive enough
Since you're a mod, can you just one-shot close the game-rec questions?
Or does it require a second close vote?
Oak
Oak

I can close on my own, just been away on the weekend
It's fine, don't worry. It's the holidays, maaaaaan.

Tell me about it, Steam is making offers which are hard to refuse
I would seriously have bought so many games by now if it weren't for the fact that I'm on a netbook and my desktop PC's far away
Oak
Oak
Indie games would work on your netbook, and they're on serious sales
like...geez Steam knows how to make a good deal and how to make it look good. Their Holiday Sales webpage is beautiful.
That's true.

Monkey island for 3.75?
FUCK YOU STEAM
FUCK. YOU.
Oak
Oak
No, it's for 5
BOTH of them for 3.75

Heh, I think the fact that I use a Mac is helping me save money (not as many Steam sales as there are on Windows) :)
Anyways, Merry Christmas everyone!
I think the fact that I live in Ukraine helps me save money ...
There's just no easy way to buy the games on Steam, and the price is still high due to stupid exchange rate
AND NO CHRISTMAS HERE, TOO
we celebrate it on January, 7th -_-
AND NO HOLIDAYS YET. It's so fun
:(

Q: Overlord II - rescuing green minion hive - main gate does not open

Maciej PiechotkaI played Overlord II while I get stuck during rescuing green minion hive. I've killed all the sentiels and run the elevator but the main gate remains closed. I tried to walk through the castle and search google but I found nothing.

this Feed sucks
if I wanted questions, I'd go to the parent site -_-

Q: Misaligned "edit tags" link on questions

OakDiscriminating screenshot below. Appeared when I over over the tags. Confirmed with multiple questions both on main site and on meta.

Hmm, I timed this really well, it's great to have disposable income right before this Steam sale
@Oak Don't you mean 'incriminating'?
21:12
Happy Christmas everyone
I might actually have close votes soon :P
Merry Christmahanukwanzaakkah.
22:09
Just out of curiosity (in case anyone knows), how many votes is considered a mass upvoting / downvoting spree by the SE engine?
Or is it dependant on what questions / answers are being voted on?
Too many. GLARES
I actually don't know.
although I remember this being mentioned before...
and the exact amount being brought up.
Because I've been thinking for a while to propose that we increase the rep required to downvote.
Since we're a gaming community, I can imagine we'll get some members.
Who will go around downvoting.
I don't think there's any reason to be paranoid of such behavior unless you have examples of where it has probably occurred on this site in the past.
Heh, I think it's just my paranoia. eyes shifting back and forth
Heheh.
