That's certainly not a requirement for entertaining chatter

tiddy

I think smaller games with a focused narrative and a reasonable completion time would work better

Martin Sojka

@badp Well, I don't really pay attention to those I don't play anyway (which would be any but Minecraft). :)

@tiddy And that's why I suggested something which would take about 3-4 hours at most to complete for Minecraft.

FAE

@tiddy Then I'd advise pinging @Ktash with your suggestions and feedback and/or alternatively post on the relevant Meta threads. I'm sure Ktash would welcome the input.

Honestly, I think the games are the least of our issues with running a marathon.

Ben Brocka

@tiddy Those are great for a showcase, no so much for anything involving personality or...anything beyond the game itself

The point isn't just "look at this game"

Martin Sojka

17:04

@BenBrocka We could always use those people to spontaneously chant "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold" (the full version) before the start. ;)

tiddy

@BenBrocka I'm not following

SaintWacko

Awww, man, I should have suggested Dwarf Fortress for the marathon!

That could be awesome

FAE

@SaintWacko I'm not sure that'd be visually engaging enough for a random audience.

SaintWacko

@FAE Yeah, but for anyone who knows the game, it would be fun to watch the chaos

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@FAE It'll probably end up as a series of blog posts instead

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Look, I won't spend much time dwelling on this. Unless something happens, it's all politics. If something does happen, well it's very unlikely you worrying about it will help.

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko Aww, he'll have 1 left.

Grace Note

@fbueckert My point was more that, if there are significantly more drop-only than not, then technically it's easier to just like all the ones that are not drop-only. Provides the same utility of information, too, just instead of checking the list to see if an item is on it, you see if an item isn't on it.

badp

"Examples of 'does not' include organizing the information along an axis which it is not organized along at a traditional resource, or providing contextual information that other resources do not consolidate in one place."

"If somebody else has already created a searchable database of every item, quest, and spell in The Old Republic, by god, I'm going to use that to answer questions"

etc.

"making the internet a better place and providing great answers doesn't mean duplicate all the information on the internet whenever somebody asks for it."

LessPop_MoreFizz

Sometimes a specific answer is a short list of things.

That's okay.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes, so? That's still valid regardless of length.

We aren't GameFAQs, why are we having questions that ask us to write books?

We aren't MobyGames or Wikipedia, why are we having questions that ask us to list games?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Because we can still answer them with a link to the book that somebody else wrote, and that answer is perfectly valid and okay.

Grace Note

Here's a perspective point - disregarding any existing questions that address this, would a question on "What is the timeline of the Zelda games?" be acceptable on the site, and how is it functionally different from asking what all the games are in the Zelda series, with an added bonus of being organized in in-game chronological order?

A: What order should I play the Half-life series in?

The HL2 episodes are not an accessory part of the story, but actual sequels. They do contain plot changing events. The same is not true for the Half Life "One" series, as far as I know. Thus: Half Life Half Life 2 Half Life 2 Episode 1 Half Life 2 Episode 2 As for Portal -- it does contain ...

+1 for leaving out Opposing Force and Blue Shift. Although they may be enjoyable in their own right, they are not at all essential to the overall storyline. — oKtosiTe Jan 3 '11 at 12:45

Asking what order you should play a bunch of games in doesn't mean asking to list all the games.

I got twice as many votes as the guy who did list all the HL2 games in this example.

I would be okay with closing this question, btw; it's a glorified game-rec

Grace Note

@Powerlord To wit.

SaintWacko

@badp Eh, seems fine and useful to me

Powerlord

@GraceNote Aw, blocked.

Grace Note

@Powerlord It's an answer on the site on a question "Where does Skyward Sword fit in the timeline?" that cites the book you linked. And also the reason I prefaced "disregarding any existing questions that address this" in my initial perspective point.

Does anyone know if there's a way for me to activate a game on Steam only using their web site? I want to start Borderlands 2 installing now so it's ready when I get home.

I can't RDP home; I don't have it set up.

You need to be logged into steam on the PC you wish to download on.

badp

@StrixVaria No, you have to use the GUI to add steam codes I'm afraid

@badp Lame.

badp

@StrixVaria If you'd bought from the store, there'd be a link in the email to start downloading immediately. I guess it's a small price to pay for the discount

StrixVaria

Yeah I'd rather pay $10 less and wait an extra few minutes once I get home.

Q: Good strategy to kill fran in the brawler guild?

Just like to title says whats a good strategy to kill fran in the brawlers guild. I have killed Riddoh but fran ends up killing me. and if i kill Fran, Riddoh kills me. Quite often fran drop a mine or 2 right on top of me insted of a C around me. I play a level 90 frost death knight with an item...

@StrixVaria 6 GB take a "few extra minutes" to d/l?

also @BenBrocka fo you have any idea what's the deal with the BL2 chi, kappa, rho and zeta betas?

StrixVaria

@badp It will probably take about 20 minutes.

Maybe more than a "few".

@StrixVaria You have a 40 megabit internet connection?

Ben Brocka

StrixVaria

@badp I don't really pay attention to the limitations of bandwidth except when YouTube fails to load my videos fast enough for me to watch them.

Huh, I don't see an image on that video onebox

Ben Brocka

@badp Huh. No idea. Google doesn't tell me anything

@Powerlord I'm not sure who disliked that, but I hate them.

Ben Brocka

@Powerlord Any query strings break oneboxing, so linking to a time breaks the image

badp

unless you #-link to a time

Q: Level up after maxing out character's attributes

I've maxed out my character's attributes, but still have a few levels' worth of major skill points to earn. When I try to level up, I get a message saying perfection cannot be improved upon, no level up dialog and the level up icon remains in the HUD. Can I still level up somehow?

Q: in Far Cry 3 is there any point in skinning animals after i've made all the pouches?

I already have all the ammo pouches, rucksacks etc (well if says Owned All against each one in the menu). Is there any reason I should still skin animals anymore? I could sell the skins, but that's a laborious process as they aren't linked to the quick sell option so I'd have to do it manually ...

@fredley Your chat account is hooked up with Area 51.

If you refresh you'll probably see it.

fredley

@Wipqozn That's an SE bug, it's happened to me before

Wipqozn

@fredley I know.

@badp made a meta poist about it and everything
