mmm, I wonder what awesome thing I will be buying this steam sale
I might pick up HAWX 2 if it goes on mega sale, I enjoyed HAWX
probably also anno 2070 if I can catch it on a mega sale
otherwise, hmm... if the civ5 stuff goes on mega sale, maybe, but it's probably too soon for that and quantum conundrum. both will probably have to wait till christmas
@YiJiang I actually have a question about that. I already have an Tribes: Ascend account that has some items and crap on it. Can I log onto that from Steam, or is it tied to my steam account?
@LessPop_MoreFizz That involves walking upstairs, and that's certainly not going to happen anytime soon. Hell, I may just pass out in my computer chair and call it a night
So...I'm about to head to dawnstar, and find any "fortify alchemy" gear I can find in the caravan's chest...Then to ivarstead and riften for the two fish needed to make the "fortify restoration" potion, which from there I'm going to enchant a set of alchemy gear to start the restoration glitch......
Before Tribes: Ascend was added to steam, I created an account and bought some items/upgrades. If I download Tribes through steam, will I be able to log into my existing account or link my steam account with it, or would I be forced to repurchase the items and upgrades on my steam account?
In Quantum Conundrum, on the level "The Path To Higher Learning", there is a multi-stage puzzle.
In the first stage you have only the slow-motion battery available, and there's an area you must get across where you can drop two tables:
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to jump across...
Just got the Gods and Kings expansion and was playing 3 player game with friends. They both made a religion and I was over 1000 in faith and still could not work out how to create a religion or get a Great Prophet.
How do you create a religion?

I was in the Vorm lodge and stole a book I needed for a quest. They caught me and immediately decided to attack, so I ran. I have two open quests for people in the lodge however. I did the quest but whe I returned they were still hostile. Is there anyway, or any time after which, they will not lo...
I'm looking at recording my game plays with a group of people for local tournaments with games on the xbox, i've been looking on the net to see how I can use my HD PVR to record my gameplay with xbox chat!

I'm trying to add in skill damage display to a spreadsheet I made, but I'm having problems reproducing the damage numbers shown in-game specifically for un-runed Rain of Vengeance, RoV-Dark Cloud and RoV-Anathema. The problem only occurs with these three runes, I believe because they're the only ...
I'm planning on preordering the Last Story for Wii soon. I don't buy full-price console games very often as I get most of my games on Steam.

Is there any way to get quest items out of my inventory? There are several things which I know I will not use anymore (such as the House of Ballads armour) but it just sits in my inventory cluttering up the interface.
I've observed that when you kill the first group of enemies you meet in Chapter 5, with the default silenced pistol and without any enemy being able to fire a shot, enemies won't be alerted to your location and Max Payne will comment on the stealth kill. (I'm not sure if not doing a stealth kill ...
@YiJiang The saddest part is that a cursory glance tells me that 90% or more of those even say the game name or relevant tag in the title or at the start of the question body. I guess I should probably see about cleaning that up.
@YiJiang Asker probably didn't see the place to enter tags or didn't know what to do with them. The question was shopping advice anyways so it doesn't really matter.
Stack Exchange sites have an automatic tag clean up system that removes tags with only one use after 6 months. However, it seems like this is detrimental to SciFi Stack Exchange, which has a long tail of questions on less popular / relatively unknown books or series (and surprisingly, some fairly...
If you take a generic game and change resolution to 640 x 480, 1280 x 1024 and 1920 x 1080 respectively, how heavily would this affect performance?
Is resolution an important factor or rather neglectible when trying to find perfect settings for a non-high-end graphics-card?
@YiJiang Part of the question is answerable, but the title and leading question are generally not. How do you quantify how much resolution affects performance? Is there a unit of measurement for this of which I am unaware? Take a generic game - what the ****is a generic game? What does that mean? "Is resolution an important factor or rather neglectible when trying to find perfect settings for a non-high-end graphics-card?" can probably be addressed.
Right now the most popular tag is used as the first word in question page title. This leads to questions such as "pc - how do I kill the orc chief" rather than "orchunter-3 - how do I kill the orc chief". The latter is more informative and much more Googlable.
To ameliorate this issue, the f...

Chat oneboxes kind of a lot of things - many SE features, images, twitter feeds, etc.
This is a great feature. However, sometimes it's not so great. Many times I find myself in the position where something is oneboxed that I don't really care for. There are many reasons for this:
It's not o...
yeah, I think it's possible to also hook on the class that's used to onebox images
I don't think it's possible to really hook on the events that cause an item to become oneboxed, though
(not easily, anyhow)
just seems like it's something that many people would use, and therefore could be considered for inclusion in the software instead of in userscript-land
Here's a bookmarklet that collapses(and continues to collapse) all the post-oneboxes posted by users withe a negative userid:
javascript:(function(){window.hidePosts=function(){$("div.user-container.monologue").filter(function(){return!!this.className.match(/user--/ig)}).not(':has(div[class="ann...
This userscript already does part of what you want to achieve
also, if you haven't bought it already, you may want to wait a little bit. the steam summer sale is highly likely to start soon, and chances are you can get it at a significant discount.
indeed. also remember that the first rule of a steam sale is - don't buy a game unless it's the deal of the day, or the last day of the sale, lest you buy something at a "tiny" discount that gets a "major discount" later.
if you liked MW1, MW2 is better, from what I understand. still the same "blink and you're dead" gameplay

In May of 2012, Backflip Studios, the team behind the iOS hit DragonVale, decided to add a new type of Dragon, the Gemstone Dragon. These dragons are associated with the month related to their name, May being Emerald, June being Pearl, and the newest one for July being the Ruby Dragon.

Both Mystic and Winners have a prism towards the end of their runs that are in really hard to reach places, and I can't figure out how to get them.
I have managed to summon the bird in Mystic, and I figure that it's related to getting the last prism there. But the best I can think of for Winners ...
In most cases the BP +- is intuitive, that is a match between two players of the same rank, winner gets +40 and the loser gets -32 (or something close to these numbers). When a higher ranked player lost to a lower ranked player, he loses more BP like -50 or -60. However I've seen a few cases when...
@Fluttershy You have to look in the mirror and say his name 5 times, or he won't appear. Something about dark magic and curses. He might hang out at your house for a while if you summon him though.
@EBongo yeah, you guys and your dragon-farm-ville question whatsits
why, in my day, our phones had a numeric keypad and a 7-segment display, weighed like 20 pounds and we liked it. none of this gush durn dragon-whosits.
you wanted entertainment, you had to turn on the TV! and then you had to watch whatever was on! you kids are spoiled, what with your video-whatchamacalits lettin you watch the tonight show when you "feel like it"
@EBongo not really, sadly. all the kids are up and about and making various screeching noises. I'm mostly just getting a minute here and there to attempt to tweak my WD build.
@Fluttershy flagging's fine, if there's a mod actively chatting usually linking is pretty darn fast too. I won't yell at anyone for flagging something that needs a flag, regardless.

My internet connection still sucks unfortunately, so I might be bumping that up next. The 1080p videos are taking forever to upload. Everything runs smooth client-side though
When will there be an update to the minecraft xbox 360 edition? it's fun as is but would be better when updated. please tell me if anybody has a solid date.
I'll be hitting 60 when ending Hell, and I'm wondering what I should do next? Farm Hell again and again or directly run into Inferno?
How can I tell when I'm ready to move on to Inferno from Hell on my Demon Hunter?
They claim to go as high as 50Mb down 5Mb up, which I'm considering upgrading to, depends on the price though. I DO get to write part of it off on my taxes now, and pay for it with precious youtube monies

I think Talk Talk is throttling right now, if I load up a torrent I'm guaranteed to get < 10kb/s until about 1am.
Why? Regular users just don't care about them, but they get a lot of Google hits and help a lot of people. It'd be nice if they got more attention from the community, but it happens
@LessPop_MoreFizz so... we should put up a screen that forces users to create an account and get enough rep for upvoting before they're allowed to view it?
@LessPop_MoreFizz it's a pretty simple game so there's not all too much reason to stick around. And it's largely the case that any one highly-googled question isn't going to generate tons of users (and if it does, they're usually users you don't want)
And yeah, there's not too much to ask about other than how to get the latest hot dragon. The mechanics are simple enough and well covered in Wikis
Proposed Q&A site for people who want new features in the desktop, mobile and web applications they use. The question would describe the feature, and answers would discuss that issue in more detail. Votes will indicate how much that feature is wanted by people.
@LessPop_MoreFizz sounds like someone doesn't know what the Q in Q&A stands for. These wouldn't be questions and the answers wouldn't answer anything. It seems like they read 'question' as 'rant' and 'answer' as 'rant some more and maybe discuss initial ranting'.
