I played oblivion when it first came out in 2004. By played I meant did around 3 hours before getting bored.
It seemed to lack... impetus, and the leveling system is as everyone knows, messed up.
What are the mods that would make Oblivion a worthwhile game to play in 2011?
I've got a Wii connected via component cables to an HD PAL TV (supporting up to 1080p). Like most HD PAL TVs, it can accept any number of different signals.
Available video settings on the Wii are 480i, 576i or 480p. Assuming 480i (interlace) is inferior to 480p (progressive), which of 576i and ...
room topic changed to The Bridge: of Gaming's StackExchange™ AlienOverlord AskQuestion™ mothership, charging its lazers for the imminent elections. The disclaimer was too long anyway.
also because they have tons of kiting tools, and there are several encounters that amount to 'have the tank kite a bunch of adds that would otherwise kill them'
I was able to login from another computer, used top to view the PID for the game, and then issued a kill command. Is there an easier way to recover without having to reboot the system?
No. Here's a listing of all quests started by an item drop added in Cataclysm. As you can see, there aren't many, and they're almost entirely in Vashj'ir (with a few in Uldum and Deepholme).
More likely, you've missed a hub. I'd suggest trying WoWheads 'personalized search' feature to see which ...
Hey does anyone know the answer for Lieutenant Level 16 of the Battleships puzzle game for iphone? I'm stuck...I got all other Levels and can't advance without figuring out this one.
I would like some help homing in on the last few bandages I need, but I don't want a step-by-step guide for every bandage. I just want to compare my overworld screen with someone who has all 100 bandages, so I know which worlds I need to explore and which warp zones to get.
It sounds to me like the tracked external linking methods only apply to questions or answers. So if you are sharing links to go toward getting the Announcer/Booster/Publicist badges, the only options apparently are sharing permalinks or using the facebook/twitter/other buttons on questions or an...
@Brant See, the fools suggest the "ticker" for high volume feeds. The higher the volume, the more frequently you must click "dismiss" to make that thing go away.
@badp Maybe it needs to be an actual scrolling ticker... like you see on news shows. Works pretty well for GameDev though, our volume isn't that high :(
Well, @StackGaming has the same content as the @Feeds question feed anyway
there's got to be a way to improve either inline feeds or the ticker feed, but I can't figure out how
I like knowing when new questions get posted and responding to them, but the oneboxes are so darn big that the actual chat gets pushed offscreen unless there's already a ton of activity.
The current ticker is awesome, but people who are active in a high-volume (feed and discussion) chatroom have to push dismiss quite often if they don't want the chat window overrun on smaller monitors.
So I thought, what if we had a horizontal scrolling ticker as made famous on various news chan...
We have the following extremely ambiguous tag: mod at 43 count.
It is nebulous because in the realm of gaming it is already used extremely ambiguously and context-sensitively. This is a bit of a problem because some of the definitions for "mod" can apply to nigh anything, yet some games have ve...

How viable is it to play through Dragon Quest IX entirely in multiplayer? I'm hoping to be able to play through the whole thing together with my wife, so I'm just wondering if there are any downsides or impossibilities to doing this.
A couple of main questions, I suppose:

Here's an example, in case my title wasn't clear enough:

In The Sims 3, I have a sim that plainly refuses to learn the athletic skill. She can work out for hours, get fatigued, but her skill meter never moves and the skill is still stuck at zero.

Is there any way to fix this?

I am playing a human wizard, and I just killed a monster, leaving a corpse on the ground. How do I tell whether it is safe to eat this corpse?
I leave the monster unspecified because I am interested in "how can I figure out whether this is edible," rather than whether any particular monster is e...
I mentioned it in this post, but since it's apparently a separate issue and hasn't been fixed yet I'm opening a new question.

Notch just updated the game and reintroduced dyed blocks - in the form of wool + a specific dye.
Apparently there's 15 new dyes, obtainable through various means - but I can't seem to find information on all 15.
What dyes are now available and how can I obtain them?

@badp While there are several good objective comparison questions in there, the overarching question as asked is game-rec. I'd argue it needs some edits before a reopen personally.
@LessPop_MoreFizz What's bad with that. It's entirely possible for someone who "isn't in the know" to assume one series can be considered "more casual" than the other
@tzenes Is the most recent answer to the gateway vs. warp gate question incorrect? I remember at least in beta tests that showed warp gates do turn out units X% faster than gateways.
Anybody know if there are open "source" (free) 3D modeling communities out there where the models are available under a BSD/unrestricted (commercial and non-commercial) licenses?
Everything I've found so far is all non-commercial art.
Thanks!
Ok, Sim City 3000 was an incredible game. I wasted many hours on it.
I have read about and looked into CityVille. How does it compare to Sim City 3000? My guess is that it's more social (since SimCity was 0% social), but probably a bit watered-down as well, since they're trying to cater to mo...
So I've been getting back into Rome Total War lately, and have beaten the campaigns that the game comes with. What mods are available that add more depth/realism to the single player mode? I'm not really interested in multi-player balance issues, primarily just the single-player campaign mode.
@Powerlord Yes, we can. Try not to make us do so, though. There has been one incident of a game-rec being bountied up... it did cause quite a fuss. Miraculously, it didn't get closed after the bounty, though.

@Powerlord It's in the submission page you can't read, but he wrote a program that calculated the exact right timing between each button press to obtain exactly the rolls he needed.
(yes, it runs reliably and veriably like this every single time)
I dunno if it's something new in 4.0.x or not, but I noticed that in WoW, you start at Neutral with the Timbermaw Furbolg instead of Unfriendly or whatever it was before.
I don't know if you can still do this, but at one point my guild discovered that everyone in a raid group got +1 reputation whenever somebody in felwood killed one of the evil timbermaw, no matter which end of the zone they were at
we filled up a whole raid and got everyone to exalted in a couple hours
I love how the last manager isn't supposed to leave until all employees are gone, yet I'm not management and I'm the only one here. I suppose that means I should go home.

So I guess what I'm asking is, how deep is CityVille?...
The only way I find to display a message is in the chat window. I'm looking to display much bigger and hopefully screen centered text (visible to yourself only).
Is there such command available ?
Thank you

I understand there are monsters quite far down if you keep digging. Can they get past doors?
