Q: What determines the 'Power Rating' in Bookworm Adventures?

MargaretPretty much as the title says. In the Hall of Fame, there's a list of Power Ratings, and my name is moving up and down it. I'd initially assumed it worked its way up as you progressed through the game, but it now seems to be backtracking, so now I'm confused.

Q: Trying to find a Flash puzzle game...

RicketSometime between 2006-2008 I played a Flash game which had an isometric (2.5d) view, and you controlled with the arrow keys a 2x1x1 rectangular prism. You had to "roll" this prism (flipping it on end or on its side, or rolling it) so that it was standing up on an end goal square. There were holes...

Q: Does it matter what I build my house on top of?

victoriahFor example, if I want to build on sand or gravel. Are there any risks? Right now I'm digging down until I meet rock and then building a foundation of rock.. I'm paranoid.

 
@GnomeSlice - Why don't you have more rep? I feel like you should have more rep.
 
@RavenDreamer Hngh?
 
@GnomeSlice I get the impression that Gnomeslice is EVERYWHERE on Gaming.Stackexchange; that he turns up whenever you find a cardboard box.
And yet you only have 4k rep?
 
@RavenDreamer :o I have 4K rep?
 
I call shennanigans! I demand you stop stockpiling your rep in a 401k for a rainy day.
 
1:37 AM
AWESOME
@RavenDreamer Wait, I've yet to see a cardboard box on Gaming.
 
Clearly this calls for more Metal Gear related questions
 
@RavenDreamer +1
 
I'd help, but I don't own a Playstation, nor am I in to tight fitting leather pants.

I feel like I've opened pandora's box. Once you've seen Snake's jiggling ass, there's just no going back.
 
I feel like starring everything on this page.
But that would be misuse.
 
I just looked back over at chat and I laughed so hard it almost made me spit out the rice I was eating.
 
We should just take a screen cap of the whole thing so we can pat ourselves on the back later.
 
@RavenDreamer Post it on meta
Make up a question to use as a front.
 
1:43 AM
@GnomeSlice You want me to post Snake's Ass on Meta?
I feel like that should be posted on Meta's Meta.
Which is horribly, horribly recursive.
 
@RavenDreamer I was thinking the entire chat, but now that you mention it...

Q: Is there an IP penalty for surrendering?

Borror0It's the second time today that I have a teammate refuse to surrender because it "halves IP gained." I can find no source confirming this, so I doubt it is true but I thought I'd make sure.

Q: How to isolate artwork from games for fan art

InfinitiesLoopWherever there is a popular game, there is fan art. Custom wallpapers, t-shirts, etc. One thing they usually have in common is that it features artwork from the game, or something close to it. Obviously, some people are talented enough to reproduce the artwork with their own skills. But I think...

Q: What do the icons next to defeated opponents mean?

Q: Is there any way to exploit a floating sand/gravel glitch in minecraft?

AndrewIs there any way to exploit a floating sand/gravel glitch in minecraft? Like lets say you have a solid block like dirt. And then you place a gravel or sand block high above it, and just as it touches the dirt block you destroy it and then the sand/gravel floats? Has anyone ever done this before?...

AubergineFollowing the demise of my "fat" Playstation 3 console I got myself a new, slim, one. After logging in with my user on my original console, I would end up in the Game menu, which was very convenient for launching the disc currently in the console while still waiting for my TV to turn itself on....

Q: Name of robot game I played years ago?

MangoI remember playing a game several years back on the PS2, and there was a cutscene at the beginning of the game where there are three children tied to a pole shouting for help, then a robot falls on them and crushes them. Then you play as a kid the same age flying through space I think as a robots

A: What is the most complete/stable Meta Gaming Stack Exchange emulator you've found?

MachaThere are significant objective criteria as to which emulator is the most complete. It's called their game compatibility list. If emulator A plays 95% of games, and emulator B plays 80% of games, then emulator A is more complete than emulator A. Example: PCSX plays pretty much everything, pSX pl...

 
@Macha The problem isn't how objective you can be. There's a reason the S&A close reason had it's name changed. The problem is that lists and repositories like this are generally not constructive or well suited to the Q&A format.
A good question might be one of how to evaluate the completeness of an emulator, but which one is the most complete is inherently problematic for the same reason "what baseball game has the most complete and detailed reflection of this seasons MLB rosters"
 
> This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

That's even less relevant to closing this question. Facts? Check. References? compatability list. Opinion? For "best", but not for "most complete". Arguments? Polling? Same as opinion.
 
(I'm also not convinced that we don't still need a close reason better tailored to the problems of lists as well.)
 
"what baseball game has the most complete and detailed reflection of this seasons MLB rosters" - MLB rosters change yearly, right? So it gets outdated quickly. Whereas the most recent update to a PS1 emulator was 2008.
Also, MLB is 30 teams (correct me if I'm wrong, I had to wiki MLB), so it's presumably trivial for a game to have complete rosters, therefore the answer will be a huge list, whereas emulators tend to be open source, so for any moderately complex system, there will be a few as there is no reason for there to be more.
That question of what to do when stuck underground in Minecraft has more possible answers than complete emulators for most consoles.

Q: Is there really a black hole in Eve Online?

Nick TI've heard some people mention a black hole existing in Eve (not a wormhole). Does it really exist or is it some unfounded rumor? Where is it?

 
@Macha THe hard truth is that stuff requires constant updating. Can we do that? No, we can't, and/or we really don't.
 
Odd, I appear to be getting notification sounds late and in bulk.
@badp As I said in the meta answer, so do Minecraft/Terraria answers.
How many questions do we have about glitch boosters? Water ladders? Fire?

Q: How cost effective is Recall

tzenesSo this is a decision I often have to make, is it faster to run back to base or Recall? For those unaware recall is a 10 second cast time before instantly being transported back to base; thus we can rephrase this question as: "When are you 10 seconds of running time away from the fountain?" Thi...

 
@Macha Thing is, while we aren't that bad at mantaining answers that are wordy and elaborate, we suck at lists, tables and generally any collection of data that can be looked up
Those generally have a easily guessable and searchable for canonical title, like "Melee Weapons", and plenty of lists and tables and images and stuff we can't do.
It's stuff that doesn't need a question. It's stuff that needs tables and other markup we cannot use.
It's stuff made for wikis.
I'd be happy if we could do tables -- fuck, Reddit does tables.
Does Reddit need tables? No

Now I've moved on to a smaller area where my antlion followers are getting in my way more than they're helping me. What's worse, every time one dies, a new one spawns offscreen and rushes in to "help." Is th...
