My Raptr Profile where you can find links to all my various platform profiles, including Steam, as well as see how many hours of my life I've sunk into this hobby. Feel free to add me, but please message me and let me know you're from Gaming.SE.

Gaming.SE blog where I mostly edit, but sometimes contribute.

Platforms I own:

  • Nintendo Wii
  • Nintendo DSLite
  • Nintendo 3DS
  • XBox 360
  • Playstation 3
  • Playstation 2
  • Sony PSP-2000
  • PC, Windows 7

Genres I enjoy:

  • MMORPGs (City of Heroes, Guild Wars 1 & 2, various F2P MMOs)
  • RPGs (Final Fantasy series, BioWare games)
  • Music/Rhythm games (Rock Band/GH series, Audiosurf, Beat Hazard)
  • TBS (Civilization series)
  • RTS to some extent (Age of Empires, Command & Conquer, not a big StarCraft player)
  • Simulation/God games (Anno series, SimCity, Tropico, Dungeon Keeper, Evil Genius)
  • Action/Adventure (Zelda series, ICO/SotC, God of War series)
  • Arcade racers (Burnout series)
  • 3rd person open world sandbox games with exaggerated physics/reality (seriously, this practically a genre unto itself now... Prototype, Infamous, Crackdown, Saints Row series, Just Cause 1/2, Arkham Asylum/City)
  • weird, quirky indie games whose qualities I have trouble quantifying (Recettear, The Void, The Path)
  • Basically nearly anything except for sports games like FIFA/Madden/UFC/etc.

comment I've run out of stone in Don't starve. What do I do?
I'm not sure what you mean by "death is just temporary". I'm playing the Steam version which was recently released. Are you talking about Sandbox mode, which isn't initially unlocked?

comment Is it possible to download apps from another country?
While it's possible to have them on the dashboard, it doesn't mean you can use them. I have a US-based Live account but I live in the EU. I can open Netflix, but because I don't live in the right region (it bases this off IP, I believe), it still won't let me actually use it.

comment How to get Mana to “Follow” in Dungeon Defenders?
@Ash There's some pretty distinct differences in the PC version as compared to the console/mobile versions, so much so that there were separate wikis for a while (I'm behind on the game so I can't confirm for sure anymore). This may be one of those differences.

comment Turning the sound off?
I imagine that there's no option in the game itself to mute it because the gameplay and patterns in the game are pretty linked to the music that plays. Based on that, I'm not sure there would ever be an update to add that option.

comment Being in a party with a friend in Guild Wars 2
@DavidYell Good point about the instancing, that slipped my mind. I'll add it in. And most of the time they survive logging out. Carrying over between individual client logins seems to be depend on whether or not there's been an update/patch since your party logged out.

comment Why won't my PS2 play PS1 games?
@Gmoneyrocks PS3s are region locked when it comes to playing PS1 games. I own a European PS3 and it will not play my NA PS1 games.

comment Playing used UPlay Games
@mikeTheLiar Also, we can't help you here with the "otherwise" part of "ethical or otherwise", as we don't support piracy or DRM workarounds here. So unless there's a legitimate solution, we unfortunately can't provide you with other options, sorry!

comment Can gems be gifted across platforms?
@EBongo Good to know! I'm not sure that's the case though given the frequency that it occurs on the Android version. Usually at least once a day (I check this app uh, a lot...), I'll load up the game and have an empty friends list. At this point, I'm just resigned to it happening and try to remember to gift gems later on.

comment Is there any way to delete notifications?
Aw man. I can foresee my notification list getting rather unwieldy in the future. :(

comment Which heroes can jungle, even in special circumstances?
I'm not sure how well this question can be answered. In theory, practically any hero can jungle, it's mostly a matter of determining how well they actually succeed at doing so. How are you going to measure that here?

comment How can I change my personal information on Blizzard account?
Because you're asked to provide official documentation, I'm assuming that there's therefore no way to do this in reverse, correct? As in, if you've already put in your legal name, you cannot change it to something else that's more nickname-like or somesuch?

comment What are these corruption stacks?
Probably not an ideal way to get rid of them (not that you'd want to), but do note that the stacks disappear if you become Downed.

comment How do you dance the pirate polka?
There's an additional type, which doesn't occur as often as the others, which is the pop quiz! Some skill points require you to remember information the NPC gives you and answer questions about it correctly.

comment I just bought a new TV and now my Wiimote has a delay for its action
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here. Are you looking for solutions as to how to minimize the delay or inquiring as to why it occurs or...?

comment Game Modes and Learning Curve
Do not wait to play PvP matches until 30 if you're interested in doing them. Start doing Blind Pick games ASAP because the game will automatically rank you with other players of approximately the same Summoner level. Going in at level 3 will put you with other level 3 players so you can start learning with others on your skill level (or people with smurf accounts, but that's another thing entirely). If you wait until 30, you'll be jumping in and being ranked with all level 30 players who potentially have way more gameplay experience than you. Start early.

comment Can I repeat the clock tower jumping puzzle on a different character for more loot?
@Brant Yes, but there's only Trick-or-Treat bags in them.

@DavidYell Ah, I forgot about the Sigils, I'll add a note about that.

comment What should I do with all this candy corn?
@Alex Sigh is correct, those are "rental" versions of the weapons. They cost 150 CC and only last for 4 hours. They aren't the recipes, just rented skins to allow people to run around with them for a while if they want.

comment What useful applications do tonics have?
@Gwen Costume Brawl is a permanent addition to the game and will be available whenever you're in Town Clothes/in tonic form after the event ends as well.
