My Xbox 360 Gamertag, cptsupermrkt, is registered with/attached to the Windows Live account, [email protected]. I bought Arkham City on the PC. To even play the game, I must register my copy of the game with a "LIVE profile." When I sign in with my [email protected], but ...

Fluttershy

@Koviko August... 28th, I believe? One sec.

Koviko

And couldn't get into it. :(

Should I try to play GW1 again before GW2 comes out?

Fluttershy

@Koviko Some will say yes. Personally, I feel GW2 is a more stream-lined experience. I played during the most recent Beta weekend and loved it.

Also, yeah. August 28th

Koviko

@Fluttershy Alright. I'll keep that in mind. :)

I did like the character creation screen. lol

Fluttershy

The combat in Guild Wars 2 is a more engaging experience. It's less a "click and wait" and more of a "click and stay mobile or you will be destroyed" <_<

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy August 25th if you pre-order.

There's no need to play GW1 before playing GW2.

Q: looking for old pyramid puzzle game (1995-1998?)

Anyone have the name of an old pyramid puzzle game. You dug sand, and moved blocks. And then climbed out of a hole in the top. "Pyramid" is a bit of a broad search term, so I'm having a hard time finding it.

Fluttershy

17:23

@LessPop_MoreFizz I was actually considering doing something like that. Setting up some kind of voting system to let viewers decide what I did next.

@Ender =D

@Ender How so?

Ender

Nevermind. I figure if it can be done for sports then why not video games? delayed intelligence

Fluttershy

@Ender Ah, yeah. People do live streams of video games they're playing all the time. =P I view LPs as more of a "I don't own this game, but would like to see it" kind of thing.

Ender

I guess. I never understood watching anybody do anything mostly. I want to do it, I dont want to 'watch you do it'

Fluttershy

I'm the same way. But there are some things I can't do currently, so I watch others do it. =P Like LoL. I suck at PvP in League of Legends.. So I watch others play it and try and learn from them.

Patrick Stalder

18:06

@Fluttershy I personally learned way more from playing with better people than watching them play. Direct "advice" ftw. :P

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Ender This is why I prefer SS LP's

It's less about me watching you play the game and more about "I am going to provide a lot of commentary about this game, and use screenshots to carry you through the narrative as I do so."

Patrick Stalder

@LessPop_MoreFizz SS? oO

Alternately "I am going to superimpose my own narrative over the top of this game"

Seriously, the two Lt. Danger LP's of NWN2/Mask are basically the height of LP's as an exercise in games Criticism. (with a capital C to encourage the parallel to Literary Criticism and to divorce it from the more common usage of 'reviews'.)

@Ender I don't think you answered the question, but to be fair, the question is two different things wrapped into one: 1) a mod-recommendation (off-topic) and 2) how do I install Minecraft mods on a Mac (a dupe)

Patrick Stalder

@MarkTrapp If I may ask, how is the question a mod-recommendation?

user2334

@PatrickStalder He's asking for SE to vet mods called Uranium so he doesn't download anything sketchy.

user2334

Maybe "find me a mod" or "identify this mod" would be more semantically accurate

Ender

He is asking WHRE to find it. not identify it.

Is that not ok?

Where can I find this Uranium mod and instructions to install it on Mac OS X?

how is that a recommendation?

user2334

@Ender It's six of one, half-dozen of another to me: he's asking SE to identify the canonical version of "Uranium", a mod his son mentioned exists but he—not knowing anything about Minecraft—doesn't know what his son is referring to exactly.

user2334

But whatever, the amount of cares I give about this question and whether it's handled as a mod rec is very little. But the part about Mac installation of mods is a dupe.
