@John More like, it not being worked on means if something goes wrong, I'm not likely to be able to troubleshoot it.

@John I gave it to @FallenAngelEyes and @Mana

@RavenDreamer I don't know freeware that can compete (hopefully steamworks will do something soon in line with their screenshot tool!) ... but, You can always run the game in windowed mode, then use any number of tools such as Fast Stone Capture - faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm - not free, but, I find it the most useful tool on my machine.. and has a fully working trial

Raven Dreamer

Do you have the XNA framework installed?

John

@RavenDreamer Probably somewhere. I have access to several machines running varying versions of different OSes.

Arda Xi

If you want to pay $35 for what you can get for free, be my guest, but for what it does, it is definitely over-priced.

If it were more in the range of $10 or something I might actually buy it.

Mana

@RavenDreamer I lied, one minute 30 seconds is more realistic.

Arda Xi

@RavenDreamer More likely, seeing as Taksi is open-source.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RavenDreamer Energy tends to use a lot of smaller numbers. Things will regen 2 or 3 energy at a time. and cost 8 energy. Heat/Ammo tend to be bigger chunks IIRC

Mana

@RavenDreamer it's only hard because your character doesn't friggin' jump all the way if he collides into the ground while in mid-air

This is the first in a continuing set of (hopefully) weekly posts by me, where I’ll introduce you all to some great indie games for as cheap as possible.

This week’s game: Octopede

Octopede is a reinvention of the basic principles of the classic Snake with a neat digital twist. The player can move in eight directions around the play area, collecting data that is used to lengthen the Octopede’s tail. Every eight segments of tail can be ‘cached’, which increases the score multiplier, but means that those tail pieces …

Q: How does switching characters effect how they earn experience?

I'm fairly new to Dungeon Defenders and have realised that having a mix of characters is pretty useful (somewhat unsurprisingly). So, when I'm playing solo I have got in to the habit of switching between the Squire (for building spike walls), Apprentice (for building towers) and Huntress (for the...

Q: How can I prevent my civilian dwarves from drinking/eating from the military stockpiles?

I have a military training room which is off a corridor which branches off near the entrance to my base. To maximize training time, I have tables in the room, with food and drink stockpiles next to them. The problem is, because my main food/drink stockpiles and tables are much deeper in the mount...

I was standing talking on the phone in a common area at work, joking about if I could borrow a time machine and right as an elderly co-worker walked by I said "then you need plutonium, that is so troublesome" - He looked at me kinda strange, I wonder what he thinks I was talking about

Q: Why does updating my MTGO always comes up with protocol errors?

Does anyone plays MTGO? It stands for Magic: The Gathering Online. Anyways, if you do, do you ever experience any "protocol errors" while updating? Well, i do, and everytime it's a different number. It's as if, the server gets interrupted during updates or the location on the server is invalid,...

@Tristan yea got the bridge running in the background while im at work :)

Tristan

@Blem Oh, cool. I'm trying to find someone who knows a thing or two about building computers... Do you?

Blem

it has been a while since i build mine, what do you want to know?

Ronan Forman

The answer to your question is: No, it's not supposed to smell like burning.

Tristan

Well, I've got a pretty good idea of what I want. Even put all the items into a cart on Newegg... But I'm not 100% everything will be compatible/lead to a functioning PC

It's the first time I've ever tried a custom build, so I'm hoping I can get some advice before I make the purchase.

Blem

got to the motherboard producers site and try to find a Qualified Vendor's List (QVL) and make sure your other parts are on it

Q: Crysis 2 activation on Steam

I'm thinking about picking up a copy of Crysis 2 on PC, and saw it for £8 in my local supermarket (a lot cheaper than on Origin) - I would love to use this on Steam instead, so can I activate the disk copy on my Steam account, or will I need to add this as a "non steam game" and therefore lose ou...

Tristan

@Blem I'll check that out. Thank you.

Blem

@Tristan you should at least be able to find one for ram

Tristan

I found one for hardware and ram

Blem

When I made my first computer i did not do that and bought some expensive ram where the numbers matched what i needed, after about ½ a year my computer was very unstable and i found out my ram was not on the QVL, I bought some cheap once that where and it fixed my problem, that being said just because some hardware is not on the list does not mean it wont work, just that if it is on the list they have tested it

Tristan

They have similar items but not the exact one I selected... So I guess if I was too worried about it, I could swap

Blem

10:50

You could also mail the hardware producer if they might know if it is compatible even though its not on the QVL

well time to get some lunch, talk to you later

Tristan

Thanks for the help.

Q: Getting started with StarCraft II

I loved StarCraft I and I have played a portion of the Campaign in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. I suck bigtime in it, as it requires more than strategical thinking (macro's, reflexes, map knowledge etc.) I want to get started with StarCraft II Multiplayer properly (I played some, I am in Bron...

Q: Is there an easy way to identify rest areas in swtor?

It seems like in other MMOs the rest areas are very easy to find - usually the 'inns' or the entirety of a large friendly city. In SWTOR I have been having trouble identifying such areas and have been wondering if there is an easy way to identify where they are, or find them in general. For exam...

I'd like to play these games but I don't seem to know what to do .. I downloaded one of them, it's a .zip file . there are two txt files and two .zzt files in it. Anyone knows how it works?

(Hello @all)

Blem

it looks like you need to get the game autofish.net/video_games/creation/zzt/zutil.html

Arda Xi

@Gigili You need the original game.

ZZT

ZZT is an ANSI character-based video game, created in 1991 by Tim Sweeney of Epic Games (then Potomac Computer Systems which became Epic Megagames in 1992), who later designed Unreal. It remains a popular DOS game creation system. ZZT itself is not an acronym for anything; its title was simply chosen so it would always appear at the very bottom of newsgroup listings. However, it was later jokingly mentioned by Sweeney as being short for Zoo of Zero Tolerance, which has mistakenly become a popular belief. ZZTs graphics were obsolete before it was even created; it used the same style of...

Gigili

@ArdaXi Aha, thank you. Wow, DOS.. Means impossible to play on Linux, right?

Arda Xi

@Gigili There are plenty of engines that are cross-platform, see the Other programs section.
