it's sort of a "lunchbreak game" where you have a limited amount of time to explore the galaxy, sometimes fighting other ships in a top-down 2d field, and trying to find cool artifacts or what have you
@Fluttershy I'm more familiar with Strange adventures in infinite space (SAIS) but the point of that game was to travel from star to star, looking for treasure, until you run out of time and have to stop.
At the end of the first Diablo game, the hero pushes Diablo's soulstone in his forehead.
If I recall it correctly(many years have passed since I played Diablo) he did that "to contain its evilness".
Was it really necessary, especially given the fact that there is an effective way to destroy the s...
I've been playing through the levels in Survival Mode, with the hopes of scoring some unique or interesting pets. However, my current strategy is very "hands off" - I'm not paying full attention to the game, and I'm leveling two characters which I can't be controlling at the same time.
There ar...
The last Wave in Yoggscave is a big Monster which has a large red butt.
Shooting that is counted as critical, but only yields ~270 Damage with a fully upgraded Assault Rifle.
I had a hard time bringing it down to even 50% health before it hit my core on normal.
What is the best weapon and/or...
okay, so i have given Wujeeta the potion, talked to her, and there's no option to intimidate her into telling me who her dealer is. has anyone else had this problem? all it let's me ask is "what is skooma?" and after that there are no other options. is there any other way to get the key from the...
It seems like I've completed every room in this area, but I still can't manage to grab the water element from beneath the crab like creature. How do I get it? Bonus points for giving a hint and putting the full answer in spoiler text, I really like to figure things out myself!
So the King of Sweden went missing. None of the other lords knows where the heck he is. I've gone and scouted every town and castle of the enemy faction and did not see him in any of the jails. I've also scouted as many enemy lords as I can find and did not see him there either. The only thin...
Battle.net 2.0 seems to have severe netcode issues, meaning that commands take longer to be executed than they should. This is likely a result of preventing lag and dropped connections, but it comes at the cost of performance. Compared to games like Heroes of Newerth and Counter-Strike which have...
In researching the answer for this question, I can't believe how well thought through the plot explanation from Blizzard is. Halo:Reach, your shame is even greater....

the new ghost recon game is supposedly kind of a co-op hybrid of some of that game with some of something like CoD, and that sounds pretty promising for some future gaming escapades
@Krazer Yeah, that could be a plot tie in for 3. Also, just because you kill them all and destroy their soulstones in 2, doesn't mean they are really gone. It was supposed to banish them from sanctuary, but then Tyreal destroys the Worldstone - possibly that also means all bets are off.

@StrixVaria I don't think it is you that does it but:
"At the end of Diablo II, it is seen that Diablo and Mephisto's Soulstones were destroyed at the Hellforge and Baal retrieves his Soulstone from Marius."
Oh no. The NHL always comes up with the worst puns but this one just tops them all. The Devils' game-winning-goal was scored by Ponikarovsky, and the article is named "Poni Express".
I really need to catch up on Diablo lore within the next 965077 seconds.
@Krazer Sure they can, I think they just don't need to. They'll come up with another way to get out... they are pretty resourceful bad guys. The soulstones were more of a benefit than a detriment to them at that point anyway.
I'm trying to create an iron golem trap, and while I can create huge ones (see screen shot below) I'm interested in making smaller ones.
I have tried several different variations, including this one, and they don't seem to ever spawn a golem.
There are tons of examples of farms on youtube, but ...
@Krazer "Of all history's greatest monsters, you are by far the most evil thing I have ever encountered. Offer your soul to me, dark one. ...No, you can't have my soul! I don't even....look, just get in here" "penguin slap"
He downvoted another answer so he would be automatically assigned half the bounty that was posted on the question, and he admitted to doing so, and he also didn't seem to think that those actions were in any way immoral or against the spirit or rules of the site.
I could swear there is a way to see loot on the ground with a "name bubble". Often times it drops behind something on screen and in big fights I just forget where it dropped. Many items blend in the with the background and while I can hunt with the mouse, I'm sure I'm missing stuff. Is there a...
This Glide3 wrapper worked for me. Basically you put the dll in your Diablo2 directory and run the D2VidTest.exe and it'll let you select the Glide driver (which was used by the Voodoo3 cards back in the day). Then it'll wrap the Glide calls to OpenGL calls. This, of course requires you have a vi...
So they apparently gave Lauren an estimated shipping time for the ME3 messenger bag. I'm wondering why she's letting Fredy31 pick a different, but similar prize, but won't do the same for others...
Sup all, so ive been looking at this one and im DYING to play this game. EVERYONE who matters is involved in this title and i dont think i can wait for the us release in late 2012/early 2012 time.
So that said, im wanting to purchase this from like Play-asia or somewhere similar but i cant seem ...
@Lazers I'm pretty sure the answer is "No." But that's just my first reaction. It is possible, however unlikely, that a game released only in Japan so far would have English subs.
There are a few games (I think you can find a list on Gaijin Gamers from 2010), but usually they were already slated for release outside Japan when they added English subs, they are a re-release (à la international version), they were released outside Japan first, and they almost never are something as textually packed as an RPG.
It's indeterminate. Level-5 hasn't done this with any of their previous games and they weren't even sure of an international release until sometime in the last year.
I'll correct myself. It's impossible for me to determine as I have no copy of the JP version and have no sources on this. Thus to me it is undetermined (stupid English typos) so I don't know.
No. Like with most Japanese games, there are no English subtitles, because the game is marketed to the Japanese audience (who speak and read Japanese).
Worry not! The western localized version will have English subtitles and the (original) Japanese voices, additional content, and DLC content.
@Krazer not sure if either of those are accessible to you
and for future reference, it's easier to just hit up (if your cursor is in the entry area) to edit previous messages (within 2 minutes), plus you're not likely to slip and hit delete

@Randy6T9 The only other games I know of in a similar vein are 2 flash games on Kongregate, Light Bot and Light Bot 2.0. I'm afraid I don't really know of any more, sorry!
@Krazer Usually more interactive things. The (very similar at times) RPG genre, turn-based strategy. A lot of ARPGs lately with the hybrid (and a few straight-up) shooters thrown in for good measure. I play a bit of RTS, but I'm quite terrible at them. I buy and play puzzle, action, platformer, adventure, etc. But tend to beat them so quickly and easily that they are in the minority.
@Randy6T9 Alas, the only iPad I have access to is not my own. Most of my iOS fun is on iPod, although I've cleared and nearly finished the high-score runs for all levels of all versions of Angry Birds on someone else's iPad.
I was digging out a new dining room and putting furniture in there, when I noticed someone had put his clothes on a chair. What could have caused this? There's enough bedrooms with chests for all dwarves.

@Krazer I like that. I wish more Type-Moon and SRW stuff made it to NA
I would've liked to have seen more of the Tsukihime universe than the anime covered. Well I guess all of the Type-Moon multiverse. Thank goodness for Carnival Phantasm.
@Krazer It wasn't the best at reflecting the source material, but the animation and acting were enjoyable. I think it probably captured some of the spirit and some of the idea, but it wasn't the best adaptation.
Another very original iPhone/iPod game is Eliss. Unfortunately it seems to be abandoned by dev and is begging to be ported to iPad. It uses a lot of multitouch. You have to divide and combine these orbs and manage to keep different colors apart and it gets much more involved from there. Has an retro graphics style and soundtrack too.
Krazer, Collision effect is somewhat similar, but Eliss is definitely unique in many ways. It's a brilliant use of multitouch, I think. You have to use many fingers at a time to manage everything.
And I had thought about bring Beat Sneak Bandit.
@krazer oops bring is a hybrid word of trying & buying. :)
@skovacs1 it's more like a turing machine because you have to process (read from and write to) at tape sequentially using a very limited instruction set that is very similar to actual turing machine state transitions
why mobile phone game asks to 'press any key' or 'press 5' before the settings screen?
Why do thus phone games require a button press before showing the settings menu?
With 4 points invested, deadliness gives .5 dmg per level. Thats 9 extra damage at level 18. Many runes do something similar, (very small per level bonuses). Are bonuses of this nature actually worthwhile in any way? I don't see how 9 extra damage endgame is going to matter. (Exceptions made for ...

I had Fable 2 for XBOX360 (PAL version, i.e. Europe/Australia) and it was buggy as hell. If I was married, my wife would go from totally happy to leaving me in an instant. There were several other minor glitches that annoyed me. I traded in the game because I got sick of the bugs.

He downvoted Sorean's answer so his answer would get the automatic bounty award, admitted to doing so, didn't feel as if there was anything particularly wrong with his actions, and now continues to vandalize the posts on that question against the will of the community and the mods.
Bitch please, banning me for a downvote? When all other users have done is downvote me (for which I can understand on the SWOTOR question) but since, people have actively started downvoting my questions/answers across StackExchange. Would you propose they be banned as well? As it falls under the same criteria for banning you have set with my downvote? No, it's a downvote, get over it — danRhul14 mins ago
@danRhul I love a good joke as much as the next guy. In fact, probably more. But I can tell you from personal experience the community doesn't take kindly to being 'played', made to look bad, or otherwise abused for the sake of entertainment. You're going to end up suspended if you're not careful. — GnomeSlice22 secs ago
@GnomeSlice I didn't do it for entertainment, I did it for reputation (still on a net gain by the way guys, you should probably keep up the downvoting). — danRhul43 secs ago
@GnomeSlice I didn't vandalise it. I rollbacked edits that were done by moderators to give an alternate answer, which isn't a cause for edit. — danRhul37 secs ago
