The use of tags on Gaming.SE seems fairly apart from other sites. Dozens of the tags are meta and essentially useless for someone to follow and be an expert in. Aside from some specific cases, knowing a game involves most aspects of it (not just game-mechanics, [tag:], and knowing spoiler and...

Minecraft has the redstone wires mechanism that can be used to build circuits. Is Minecraft Turing-Complete, i.e. can it be used to simulate a Turing Machine (if we ignore the problem of infinite memory)?

I have a bunch of demos recorded in TF2 from before the Hatless update. Any attempt to open the files in TF2 for playback causes it to toss up a few resource loading errors that I'm assuming are the result of changes in the update, and the demo never loads. Really all I want from these files is ...

Trying to run Max Payne (the original game from 2001) on Windows 7 64-bit, there is a serious problem with the game sounds - no music, many effects missing, stuttering, slowdowns etc. Looking online I was able to find this guide for fixing it on Windows Vista (which probably applies to 7 as well...

I was wondering if anyone else has had bad problems with Team Fortress 2 running on a mac (not bootcamp or anything like that) for example here are some of the problems I've been having: When doing anything server related (joining, refreshing lists) my internet doesn't work (only TF2 can connec...

Also, what happened to this feature? It doesn't even appear on MSO any more, unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

I just wanted to know how the xbox redeem system works, and if microsoft recycle previous codes?

Drupal Answers is the Q&A site about Drupal, but which of the questions about Drupal are on-topic on Stack Overflow, and then be asked on both the places? As Stack Overflow is a programming Q&A, I would expect that any question related to how to use a module, which module to choose, wh...

Is there another game like Parkan 2, where you can walk as a character and fly in a spaceship?

I have accounts on area51, cooking, and english, but when I visit my network profile page http://stackexchange.com/users/7b7d3917-d33e-4b98-84d1-8072fd6c52ca?tab=accounts it only shows area51 and english. what gives? is this a bug?

Introduction I am asking another question revolving around the problem of absence of popular local Call of Duty Servers in my country, i.e. India but this time I am not asking you guys to provide me a list of servers. I am instead asking what could be a generic and sustainable solution to this pr...

So, I've been playing Silent Hill for the last two days and I finally got to the final boss, Samael (the one that attacks you with the blue lighting). Somehow I managed to get there with just a few shotgun bullets and about 10 pistol bullets. I also have some rifle ammo but don't have the rifle ...

I realize this is a slightly unconstrained question (what qualifies as best?), so let's constrain it a little. In Generation V we've reduced the number of HMs to 6. Now given I can only stick 4 moves on a Pokémon, let's first constrain this problem by limiting the moves to HMs 1-4 (Cut, Fly, Su...

Nethrar is a bukkit plugin to offer a Netherworld experience in SMP. Unfortunately, worldguard doesn't seem to offer an anti-ghast-destruction option like the creeper option that prevents creeper's explosions from destroying blocks (but not players). Is there a similar possibility for ghast e...

I've played Lineage 2 a bit couple of years ago and i still think that the best part of playing it was actually the contextual & background music. I've tried several ones among the free ones but i've not been very impressed by the music. I know it might seem weird to mention the music as a f...

I think it would be useful to display the combined flair (or something similar) alongside the graph on the SE reputation tab. As it stands (although the information is available on another page) it is difficult to do the maths. You can currently see the individual totals together by hovering ove...

I have a canal that is 4 wide, and 1 block deep. The entire canal is made of source blocks and completely level. Unfortunately my boats keep breaking after only travelling a 50-60 blocks when I try to navigate the canal, and I don't really understand why. Does my canal need to be deeper, wider...
