I play a wide variety of games, but as my gaming time gets less I prefer co-op and multiplayer options - so that I can socialize while I play. Pretty much the only thing I avoid are sports games, because I'm about as bad at them as real life sports. My current circumstances cause a fair amount of focus on social games, especially DragonVale. I'm also exploring some back catalogue options at the moment, particularly in the Assassin's Creed pedigree.

May 17	comment	Which dragons can live in the Gemstone Island? The below answers mostly cover it, but I'd also point out a small "diamondish" icon appears in the detail view for dragons which are of type "Gemstone" and capable of inhabiting the Gemstone Island habitats.
May 16	comment	Which race has the highest win rates in professional tornaments This question is being discussed on Meta here.
Apr 19	comment	Is “XBox Live Vision Camera” the same as “Kinect”? How ridiculous of me to assume my camera could be used as a... camera.
Apr 12	comment	How do you breed a Diamond Dragon in Dragonvale? It is indeed. It's killing my OCD need to have them all. I suppose it could be a play on their part to suck some more dollars out of us. But at that price I'm not buying...
Apr 10	comment	Is it possible to kill Elite Guards silently? I've tried some of what you've suggested, and I can give you some updates. 1) Chandeliers kill, not stun. 2) Confirm they can not be terrorized - and if you use the old "throw a body" at them tactic. Thanks for the details though.
Apr 9	comment	How do you breed a Diamond Dragon in Dragonvale? I play on iOS, but I've heard reports from Android users that you need to load an update to the game in order to get the Aquamarine from March to switch over to Diamond in the shop. It's not clear to me whether this effects your odds of breeding, but it may. Trying checking for updates to the game.
Apr 9	comment	Can the Ratchet and Clank “Burn Ring” Appear in today's games I might add that most modern games probably don't rely on ROM disk access nearly as much as they used to. Once content is in memory, you can access it over and over with no effect on the disk, and it is efficient to do so.
Apr 8	comment	How do you breed a Diamond Dragon in Dragonvale? Hi Emma, I think you confused Iceberg with Ice. There is only one combo for this dragon, and it is Ice + Mine.
Apr 8	comment	Gun lost in Battlefield 3 Hi @Vanessa, welcome to Arqade! You can see BlueRaja has linked a very similar question, that has already been asked. We try to close exact duplicate questions, in order to keep the site clean and help folks find the best answers (by putting them all in one place). Check out that question, and if it isn't what you meant here, please edit you're question to explain the differences.
Apr 8	comment	How are “special” dragons treated in races? A long time ago when I asked this, I think it was possible to get elemental dragons racing against non-elemental ones, but I believe that has since changed. I rarely race any more since I have Kairos, but when I've tried it with Epic I've found it to be super hard - almost rigged for me to lose. I've decided it isn't worth it, but thank you for the great answer.
Apr 7	comment	Is it possible to change teams? Hi, welcome to Arqade! In the scenario you mention, what game type are you playing? Also, is this an "instant" behavior, or does some time pass between when they were on your team and when you get killed? For example, at the end of the round when you return to the lobby, teams get reshuffled depending on whether folks are in a party or not.
Apr 7	comment	Has the level cap been raised to 61? I think a better phrasing of this question would be "Under what circumstances is the level cap raised to 61"? Having been away from the game for a while, the fact that the DLC is required would not have been obvious to me. Even still, I think it is just a rephrase of the other question, so I'm going to vote to close as Duplicate.
Apr 6	comment	How can I get Diablo II to run on Windows 7? Hi @user46490, welcome to Arqade! Could you try adding a little more detail to your answer? Perhaps a numbered list of steps would get your point across a little better.
Apr 6	comment	Do higher level dragons race better? Miss Skyrim is correct. If you are having any difficulty getting first place every time you're doing it wrong. Check out the answers to this question and breed yourself up a stable of dragons which match the race themes. Level plays no factor.
Apr 6	comment	What do the progress bar lines mean? I suspected that as well.
Apr 6	comment	Should triple buffering always be enabled? Hi @Coldblackice, welcome to Arqade! I think your question fits better on SuperUser, since it is more based on hardware than games, so I'm voting to close as Off Topic, but I'll flag a moderator to see if we can get your question migrated. If you feel this is a game specific question, please edit to provide some more clarification.
Apr 6	comment	Bioshock Infinite won't launch, goes to background everytime Hi @Yogi. When the game minimizes (at start, or during play), can you maximize it and continue playing?
Apr 6	comment	Do earned upgrades affect party members in Nimble Quest? I believe the hero retains his/her personal buffs, when not leader. For the personal buffs, I don't believe those apply to the whole party. Pickup buffs on the other hand, do.
Apr 5	comment	Where do I get a Magical Gem? I'm not sure time really has to pass. In my case, it was basically instant after Billy gave the other quest.
Apr 5	comment	How does the game difficulty increase in co-op mode? I had forgotten to mention that additional key advantage. I can edit my answer, if any of that is helpful to you. Alternatively, you could ask a separate question, since the scope of this one is getting kind of large. Up to you.
