@Sterno bah, I'm getting to them like hours after they've been asked! that's like 55 minutes longer than my typical response time! you should count yourself lucky :P
there's been several I would have answered had I seen them sooner.
I am glad that there are so many FTL questions. it's a good game. I've got a blog post prepped, but there are some blog backlog issues at the moment
Seeing as Torchlight II's release date is soon approaching. I realised that I have barely completed Torchlight I. Seeing as I am quite desperate to get playing Torchlight II with my friends, I would quite like to start playing it upon launch.
My question is, Should I complete Torchlight I befo...
@fbueckert I'm not particularly sure how we determine who sees what at what points with the blog, tbh. I think we could probably use more editors, and I imagine editor rights would come with the ability to see what is in the queue.
I've got administrator rights on the blog, so I can add new users. It might be good to consult with at least one other person before we add a new editor, but if you'd like to help, I'm sure it would be appreciated.
@Sterno yeah, there's a couple of diablo 3 blog posts in the queue that are similar to the one that has been posted. There were some community concerns about the posts, so I've done some review and provided feedback.
I've got a review/screenshots of FTL I'd like to post, but we've not had any editors around recently, and I don't want to bump these diablo 3 posts if they're edited and brought into spec
@agent86 Oh, I thought you meant it in the sense of "Well, there's a bunch of posts sitting there, and mine won't get posted until we've clicked the "post" button enough times to get through them all"

I've been using Tekkit quite a bit and I love it! However, I've stumbled onto a conundrum. I have a number of IC2 Industrial Information Panels and I need to power them. Sounds really simple right? But I can't get it to work:
I can run red alloy cable out of the back, but I can't connect red all...
@Sterno @fbueckert has voulenteered, and I'm giving the current editors a chance to provide feedback before I give access. If you'd like to contribute as well, jump over to the editor room and throw your name in the hat, I think we could use 2 people who were willing to do editor duties. If anything, the blog could use as much love as we can give it :)
@fbueckert I'll stick with it. Another thing that vaguely turns me off is that I know there's another trilogy that's set like 700 years later and it all turns to steampunk.
The German consumer advice centre (which, given the consumer protection laws here, is a rather powerful entity) just sent Valve a cease-and-desist letter - they have to allow people to continue playing games they bought even if the people disagree with EULA changes, and they have to implement the newest ECJ ruling which allows re-sale of software bought online. Neat.
@StrixVaria I don't know. I don't think there's a limit to how many different people can tell @spugsley that she died horribly in their X-Com game and it still be funny.
Okay, so I've managed to beat the game on Normal. It seems like the thing to do now is work on getting a higher score.
However, scoring seems like a completely mystery to me. What sort of things should I do (or not do) to improve my score?
This makes me want to start a new DF game with Dwarves named after Arqade nicks, in descending order of rep points. I wonder who'll be the vampire or werewolf ...
I'm disappointed that X-Com is rated M. A lot of my gaming time comes from playing with my 6 year old, and X-Com might be something of interest to him. Guess I'll have to stick to the original.
Oh, yeah. If I had to take one of those clips out, which would you pick? Terraria? Dungeon Defenders? The LoL one is pretty boring, but it's a popular game, so it should probably stay in.

I've recently reached the lvl on which I can attempt my first dungeon: Ascalonian Catacombs.
Now, I've heard some people mention that this is actually one of the harder instances and that the second instance: Caudecus Manor is an easier dungeon for a first-time dungeon delver.
This question is ...
This is a bit of a silly request, but since SE has recently been posting their Podcasts on soundcloud, I feel like I now have a legitimate reason to bring this up.
Would implementing oneboxing support (a la facebook) for SoundCloud tracks be quite difficult?
Basically, similar to the way Wikiped...
Sometimes I forget what the exact achievements are to unlock different ship layouts while playing, but I can't seem to figure out how to view them again without quitting the current game.
How can I view them?
I don't want to learn too much about the original x-com so I'm not too biased going into the new one. Although I am kind of pre-biasing myself anyway by reading so much about the new one...
@fbueckert I was going to read more Mistborn at lunch but it took me a half hour to buy stamps at the Post Office.
Just had a talk with my friend who is getting crushed in FTL on Normal. Found out he's using Autofire. I think that's probably half of what's killing him.
I am taking a lot of inspiration from him as I work on my newest (last. definitely this is the one :P) revision of my novel that I've been planning for 8+ years.
Simply put, what is the most efficient use of karma at level 80?
I've reached 80k karma or so, and I've been looking to turn this karma into gold profits. Most armor and weapons take far too much karma to be useful, so I've started to look into using karma for cooking. As more players raise cook...

@GnomeSlice I recently had a comedian basically yelling at the crowd for being basically tired. IMO, his jokes just went over a lot of people's heads. My gf didn't understand lots of it.
