EO3 is awesome, because not only can I have Ninjas, Pirates, and Robots all on the same team? But I can have Robot Ninjas, Robot Pirates, and Ninja Pirates.
Putting aside, of course, the fact that my favourite classes are actually none of those 3.
Ok, I'm going to give you a crash course in Geology.
In traditional Geology there are three kinds of Rock: Sedimentary, Metamorphic and Igneous (actually that's an over simplification, but pretend its true). Dwarf Fortress is modeled on this system but it further breaks Igneous down into Igneou...
If we recall a discussion from our private beta, wherein we were concerned about the relatively poor answer rate, it was pointed out that Gaming has a specific issue wherein even the most well-rounded of experts can be completely lost on a question which otherwise should be in their domain, by the simple fact of not having played that specific game.
Let us then conjecture an "acceptable" game-rec on the "too broad" scale as one which only has 10 or less possible answers.
It is exponentially more difficult for this to ever get an answer because you need the people on the site (not that many) to find that question (good luck on that) after having played one of 10 specific games (especially fun if you think about the vastness of the niche/import market)
Ah, but here's the even more fun part - you can't just provide one of the 10-20 fitting games. You gotta try and find the one the author would actually want to play!
The more fun questions are the ones that ask for something and then explicitly exclude a large quantity of the qualifying games. For example, the one about character choice affecting hitboxes that excluded the genre which makes the most use of this technique.
I learned large portions of my knowledge by watching the Day9 Dailies. I believe he not only offers a steady supply of high level play and in depth analysis, but he also highlights issues that newer players often have.
As a starter I'd suggest the following:
Idra's solid ZvP opening
Brat_OK's...
A bit meta, but I think still worthwhile: "What are the questions every good C/C++ Developer should be able to answer?" :)
I'm serious - a good developer should be able to suggest these.
In regards to this question, I am not sure but I feel the answer requires a 'hack' of some sort. At least something that would violate a ToS. That fact that nobody has answered it makes me think it is not something easily done or intended and would cause a violation.

Do we get the beta badge or is that for Stack Overflow alone?
