Is it possible to rename characters in Castle Crashers? All created characters are named "profile name(number)" and are hard to distinguish.

Also, anyone looking for Steam keys for 'Eets' and 'Puzzle Agent', and having an ios device should pick up The Heist while it's on sale. After you beat it, you get some Steam keys. You can also get 'World of Goo' for 100% completion, unless they've all been taken already.

Oh wait, I'd forgotten there was a 0/5 option, I guess 0 is the lowest score possible.

When you reach the PSI level required to unlock a new ability, you can use the bacon to pause whatever you're doing and train it immediately. How do you get back there, however? I was in the middle of Lungfishopolis and the entry point to that is well within the depths of the semi-dry lake floor...

user2334

@IanPugsley That's what really got me. There was no expertise outside of Bible reading from question askers and answerers: most of it was "What does the Bible say about X?" because people assume that's all Christianity is. Which makes the fact that BH exists even more dubious

agent86

@James more like loathing, although I'd accept fear. there are two things I really dislike talking about with anyone except my wife (and even that I don't particularly enjoy at times) and one of those two things is religion.

Dave McClelland

20:56

It seems that this answer is some troll attempt to get the user to ping themselves forever. I can't find anything about what the -1 flag does, does anyone have an idea?

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Yeah, well, this is the only experience I have with Prinny, and I'm not even sure it's a legal usage.

skovacs1

@BenBrocka I would've preferred they left the JP VO and didn't affix the characterized termination all over. I always go for subs vs. dubs and so I have no appreciation for the assault on my sensibilities that is the Naruto dub.

Ben Brocka

@skovacs1 They have the option for the japanese voice overs in all the disgaea games and I THINK the Prinny games

Ian Pugsley

@MarkTrapp I think the main problem with BH is that when you talk about a BH, that's not a very wide range of people who actually want to learn/know about it, and your expert pool is very small

Ben Brocka

I didn't mean to get into the ancient pointless subs/vs dubs argument though :P but NIS handles it very well from all sites (including giving an option for the original voices)

Wipqozn

20:59

@DaveMcClelland He is vandalizing posts too. Or at least trying to.

Dave McClelland

@Wipqozn Awesome

GnomeSlice

@DaveMcClelland It doesn't seem like a troll to me, but then again I don't understand how any of it works so...

skovacs1

But that doesn't improve the textual translation. Prinny 2 had JP VO, but I believe Prinny did not.

Ben Brocka

But some of the Japanese stuff just doesn't have the same impact to me... Zetta Beaamm....u! just doesn't sound half as awesome as Zetta BEAAAAM!

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice All that code does is ping the user for ever. It basically does nothing.

Dave McClelland

21:00

@GnomeSlice There is literally no way that pinging yourself eternally could stop someone else lag switching. It's actually effectively creating another lag switch for the person doing it

Ben Brocka

Zetta's English voice actor's just pretty awesome though

skovacs1

Sorry. I wasn't specific enough. Just dubs of foreign content that I don't appreciate - French, Japanese, German, whatever. There are acceptable and even some good dubs - Mark Hamill as the villain in Laputa (he is the best joker). But then you play a lot of metal gear solid and the acting is so cheesy at some points that it's frustrating.

StrixVaria

@skovacs1 Maybe it's just as cheesy in the original language and you just can't understand it.

This video never gets old.

Every few months or so I watch it again.

skovacs1

@StrixVaria I can understand it in the original language. The acting is simply done better in my opinion, but that's my opinion and I am not forcing anyone to share it.

@GnomeSlice that video is special

StrixVaria

@skovacs1 You understand French and Japanese and German?

skovacs1

@StrixVaria French and a fair amount of spoken Japanese. No German - I was listing it as an example at the time.

StrixVaria

21:23

That's still pretty good.

I only understand very common Japanese phrases like (excuse my spelling) chotto mate or itadakimasu.

A: Should we allow tags for a specific class in RPG games?

The problem with class specific tags isn't a contention of whether or not they are useful - the problem is one of consistency: how the tags are used are just as important as whether they're used at all. Tags exist as means to filter and identify questions! We've got a fair number of questions...
