The first games I played were on the C64, after that I got a SNES and went from there to computer games.

The first real games for me were Albion and The Settlers 2, amazing games which still fascinate me today.

comment Can I save my weighted companion cube in room 17?
@ripper234: I'm not sure if I would consider "pushing a cube at an awkward angle through a wall edge into a portal" can be considered not a bug. I don't know what's going in that swap-maneuver, though, but it also looks like a bug in a trigger of some sort.

comment Minecraft bukkit plugin for maintaining a separate resettable mining world?
The usual way would be to get a Bukkit plugin which does that. The "fun" way would be to get Multiverse, setup the mining world, and then delete the contents of the world directory via a cronjob (and maybe restarting the server). That way the server will be forced to regenerate the world.

comment Why is the facilities in Portal 2 so much different from the first Portal?
You are aware that at the beginning of Portal 2 you're greeted with "You've been in stasis for 999999...9 days"?

comment When I try to break a block it opens the game menu
I don't believe you. I think what you're describing is a LWJGL bug were the mouse-pointer becomes visible because of clicking.

comment Is it possible to take a screenshot from a dialog in Mass Effect 2?
If you play from Steam, you should be able to take screenshots always with F12. If not playing through Steam, forget that I said something.

comment Transporting Squid
Pushing it through a canal might work. Even the uphill is no problem if you can get it into a tank which you start to fill with gravel (or something) from the bottom up.

comment Is it possible to use a different folder than .minecraft?
@ratchetfreak: Care to elaborate? I didn't read that restriction somewhere. I do not distribute any jar from Mojang (so you'll need an account to download it) and the official Mineraft.jar can be easily launched in a pretty similar matter (see your own answer), so I fail to see the problem.

-1, that's not true, the path for the Minecraft-Home-Dir can be altered through multiple means.
