I recently received a new wireless mouse (Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000) for my laptop for Christmas. I liked it a great deal, until I recently began working in Adobe Flash again, and started experiencing some problems.

No, apart from in the specific phrase “curiouser and curiouser”, taken from Alice in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll was playing with language there.
The -er ending is almost never used with words of more than two syllables: so eg more beautiful, more curious, not usually ?beautifuller, ?curiouser.
It's hilarious, because this clearly predates Orange Box... and that was out in 2007

Interesting, I can't follow Killing Floor steam links... Steam gets confused and says there's no server there, despite the fact that I can add a server at that same address and port in its server browser.
I'm having some trouble in the episode where you're supposed to defeat the helicopter. I do pretty well in the episodes where you're supposed to avoid the helicopter fire. I must be missing a power play or something because I'm haven't been able to finish higher than seventh.
That one's in Scranton, PA... still USA, but closer to East Coast.
Of course, PA box has other things running on it, whereas the Dallas box is just a game server... well, and a few things related to processing tf2stats.net stuff.
er.... and I just noticed that those last 3 lines were posted in the wrong room

My friend and I are going to start playing EQ on the new progressive server soon, and he's going to play a Bard. I don't mind which class I play, all that matters is that we work together well as a team.

@badp Yeah, sorry, I don't have any saves in LttP... I did start a new game this morning, but I mean, I didn't even have the Pegasus Boots in it before leaving for work.
It's amusing seeing the translation differences between the SNES and GBA versions, though.

@badp Near the beginning of the game, in the SNES version, your uncle says "Zelda is your..." and it was implied Destiny, but for anyone who has seen Star Wars, could just have easily been Sister.
My PS3 just YLOD'd. I'm hoping its just a temporary overheating issue and if I just leave it off and unplugged for the day I can get it back on long enough to eject the game disc and backup the hard drive.
From reading up on the YLOD, it sounds like this a sign that if it's not dead already it w...

It was an arcade game of late 80ies (if I remember correctly). It was basically a clone of space invaders, where you command a robot on the bottom of the screen that shoots to waves of enemies that can "bury" themselves on the ground in order to avoid being hit. So it has this whack-a-mole-like g...

@badp: the link i answered with has a map of turtle rock with pictures of key locations...maybe you can see which one you missed? that was prob. my least favorite level of all of them in LttP
ahh, nice then....i honestly think LttP is my favorite to go back and play from time to time (though i did have a good time with Links Awakening as a kid)
Hi guys,
I can't test it now, but does spacebar (center on recent event) work for Nydus Worm/Nuke? (eg. if i got nuked or wormed, can I find it by hitting space)
@espais They're a lot of fun. Having said that, if you complete one game, it gives you a code to continue in the other.
@Brant Basement Floor 2.
@Powerlord Continuing in the other game has certain benefits... like starting with an extra heart container and changing the story to reference the game you've already finished.
that sounds cool...i followed the GameTrailers 'Retrospective' on the Zelda series and thinking...man those games would have been fun on long car rides
I would never suggest emulating games that you can't buy or find any more! Nor would I warn you that the emulator VisualBoyAdvance has issues emulating the Zelda Oracle games by making the display freeze when you open a multi-level dungeon map!
theregister.co.uk/2011/02/11/robocop_statue <-- So, citizens are trying to get Detroit to erect statues of movie heroes in a time when the city is likely in the worst financial state in its entire history? Mmhmm....
I don't really understand people who like a movie so much that they want a statue of it. I like a lot of movies, but none of them are statue-worthy. (And especially not Robocop, good lord.)

@espais It's funny, the governor has offices in the building I work in and I've never seen either person who was governor since I started here in 2008.
So, unless they have some secret entrance, they must not be here that much.

After tinkering a lot with the layout I finally got a nicer outline. My diagram is still very big (right click and choose to view the image if it's rendered too small), but it's pretty clear, and it contains a lot more information. Explanation and notes below.

@badp I thought about it and realized that (1) when I find such diagrams online, I'm not really fond of watermarks and (2) I'm not sure how to put a non-obtrusive watermark which will not be easy to remove
I'm trying to find the key to turn left and right while taxying in a DC3. (no joystick)
On planes like the cessna I can just use the the left and right arrows on my laptop keyboard but for the DC3 it doesn't work.
@Powerlord: i have to agree...i keep revisiting LttP for the same reason. i never actually played Majora's Mask, because the cart I had for my N64 had a glitch where it would completely freeze after meeting up in the observatory for the first time
Ah yes, Majora's Mask... the one where, if you screwed up, you might have to repeat everything you did up to that point.
Ah yes, Majora's Mask... the one where, if you screwed up, you might have to repeat everything you did up to that point and then continue on hoping you got it right this time.
Ah yes, Majora's Mask... the one where, if you screwed up, you might have to repeat everything you did up to that point and then continue on hoping you got it right this time. Which, if you were doing the Wedding Mask quest, required you to do like 10 things at 10 specific times.

@RonanForman Some users are more equal than others. (If you can prove that you can post long videos and people will watch them start to finish, the 15 mins restriction is lifted for your account AFAIK)
@badp As far as I know it's more like (1) you need a certain amount of global views (2) a certain amount of per-video average (3) a large amount of subscribers (this is important!) (4) something youtube deems to be original enough content
The funny thing is, I'm surprised a TAS video is that long. I know there are certain parts of the game that, if you go fast enough, you can finish in a single 3-day period.
Every time I play Majora's Mask, I always stop around the third dungeon
On teamliquid wiki page about viking there is two bonus features:

Bonus DPS: +2 vs Armored air
I understand that Viking do +4 more damage to armored units (comparatively to non-armored), but what means "Bonus DPS"?
Thanks.

Each of Grandma's long stories takes a day to listen to. I listen to it twice to get quickly to the final day. I then visit the scarecrow in West Clock Town and watch his dance. His dance takes us to night of the final day. This is when time stops becomming a factor since I'm waiting …

@Oak I don't think we need to distinguish between "real" users and others, Gaming.SE is also meant for those who want only their one question answered. And reputation is anyways not a good indicator for that, I would say that answering or asking regularky are also good signs for that. Involvement in chat is another indicator.
So occasionally when I turn on my XBox360 it will not automatically log in to my XBox Live account (like it should) or hand for minutes at time before either saying that it can't or finally logging in.
Any idea what could cause this? Internet connection works constantly so its not that.
