title: Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition: Local Loot Dividing

text: I've played Diablo 3 on Xbox 360 and there it was First Come First Serve which worked fine. I'm currently playing Reaper of Souls on Xbox One, and whenever me or my co-op partner picks up an item it gets assigned to player one or two. How is this worked out? Because my partner gets almost everything, and most of the time I only get class specific items assigned to me. How is this possible? Is it random? Or is there a mechanic behind it I don't know about? Does it matter that I have another character, and I save stuff in my Stash? Important note: My Co-op partner is of a higher level and still gets more loot...


title: Does collecting coins in Plants vs. Zombies play a song or just random notes?

text: Playing in my Zen garden I sometimes collect 20-30 coins, and they tend to make very melodic tunes. Do the coins play the notes of a particular song or is a random note played each time? I've tried collecting them with different beats to reveal a song with no luck, maybe someone with a larger zen garden can figure it out?


title: Language options?

text: Does anyone know if Deus Ex Human Revolution, (North American edition), will come with Spanish audio/subtitles?


title: How do I defeat Maria Hill in the Mini-Kart tasks?

text: To unlock Maria Hill, you have to complete her three mini-missions: Unfortunately, despite watching videos of people successfully defeating her, I'm still stuck on the first race - my cart is actively slower than hers for the entire track. What am I doing wrong?

title: I can't leave the Iron Canopy after defeating Silitha in Darksiders

text: I'm stuck in Darksiders and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it is caused by a bug... I have defeated Silitha, jumped two levels down and left through the spiderweb door. I stand before this chasm through which I originally entered the Iron Canopy (by being picked up by a nasty creature in a cut scene). There are now two blue orbs above the chasm. I use my grappling hook to cross the chasm. After walking for a few feet, the same cut scene starts again and I am transported back to the Iron Canopy. Has anyone else experienced this? Did I forget something? My current quest says "Bring Silitha's heart to Samael" so I guess I did everything I needed to do in the Iron Canopy.


title: Does the Darkmoon Blade Covenant Ring work from anywhere?

text: In Dark Souls, does the **Darkmoon Blade Covenant Ring** work from any PVP location? I've been wearing it for quite a while, but it only worked a few times while I was at Anor Londo.


title: Crash to desktop when trying to start a new game with MGSO

text: I have a problem with running Morrowind Overhaul - Sounds And Graphics on my fresh Morrowind installation (through Steam). I deactivated Steam Overlay, even deactivated ingame MGE, but when I press on "New" to start a new game in the loading screen it crashes to desktop. I also checked all options and I can't find issues. The problem itself is reproduceable as it happens everytime I try. Until this point everything seems to load fine. **What can I do to make me lose once again a time of youth in Morrowind?** If you need any more information, please let me know.               Windows 8     AMD FX-8150     GTX 670     2560x1080p resolution (one monitor)      Without MGSO it runs perfectly. So maybe one component of this mod causes an issue?


title: Does playing in the in-game offline mode unlock achievements?

text: In Borderlands 2, when playing in-game and hitting `Esc`, under `Network Options` there are several modes.   * Online Friends Only   * Online Invite Only   * Online Public   * LAN   * Offline **Will`Offline` allow you to earn achievements?** I am talking specifically about the in-game option, I am not talking about Steam's offline mode, which is something different.


title: What determines which religion the computer will found?

text: When I play Civ V, it seems as though some religions are more likely to be founded by the computer. For example, in Gods and Kings, it felt like Christianity was almost always the first religion founded. And in Brave New World it seems to be Catholicism. Is this random? Is there a set "order" in which the computer picks them? Or is there a "favoured religion" based on the particular civilisation founding them? (and thus, since most civs favour Christianity, I see this most often?)


title: Are there any mini games like TBoGT "Drug Wars" in Grand Theft Auto V?

text: Are there any casual randomly generated crime mini-games similar to TBoGT "Drug Wars" that can be played at any time in GTA V? All I've come across so far are story missions, side missions, and the random/ timed encounters like the security van near the Mt Chiliad gondola.


title: How do you break the rope that is around the door?

text: In Tomb Raider, I have a little problem. I haven't played this game in a while, and don't know all of the computer controls anymore. In the game, there is a door I need to enter. The only problem is, it's locked by a rope (around the door). It looks like this: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/RN8r2l.jpg) And it looks like this from a distance: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bc4Eil.jpg) How I can break the rope?


title: Self-bagging cops: Was this a bug, or a hacker?

text: So I just got out of a Payday game. Every time someone shot a cop, their corpse dropped a body bag. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/8rGBc.jpg) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/j5qwU.jpg) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sBvHU.jpg) _And it was the best game of Payday I've ever played._ I have to know: **Was this a bug, or the work of a hacker?**

title: Do numbers in skills scale or otherwise change?

text: In all the skill descriptions, the numbers are green. In other games, I have seen this used to indicate values which can change, but the skills pages don't seem to have any info on this. In Diablo 3, is this just to make them stand out or does it indicate values that can change? If they can change, what makes them change? For example: The life gain from the monk's passive skill Transcendence has been increasing. Why?


title: What areas of the game feature randomly generated terrain?

text: Back in Diablo II, the second you stepped foot outside the Rogue's Encampment, you were in the randomly generated marshes of the Blood Moor. But my experience in Diablo III has been different - New Tristram, and indeed, the areas _surrounding_ new Tristram seem to be identical for every character I start. Which areas are randomly generated? Can I tell if I'm in a randomly generated area or not?


title: Starcraft II Attack-Move as default "mouse-click"

text: Are there hidden setting in Starcraft 2 to set the mouse button to default to "attack-move" instead of the standard move command, where the enemies are ignored and the units are running blind into their dead just to reach the point on the map, you clicked on?


title: How to stop automatic download?

text: Is there any way to pause content/whatever download? I have traffic limit on my internet subscription and almost reached it and download status of the game is at 50%. I have the minimum amount downloaded so i can start playing...

text: When playing Assassin's Creed 4, my saved games are lost on exit. What is causing this and how can I fix this?


title: JAM audio format

text: I have the DOS version of Disney and Virgin Interactive's game Aladdin. The game soundtrack seems to be stored as .JAM files according to this page (see the _type 3 description_ ) but no details are provided. Does anyone know how these files can preferably be played back unaltered or converted to a more common format? (By the latter I do not mean recording or capturing the audio while the game is running.)


title: How do I upload old screenshots taken with traditional methods to Steam?

text: Steam now has a screenshot-hosting feature, but I've been unable to break the habit of hitting `F5` to take traditional TGA screenshots in Team Fortress 2, rather than the new hotkey `F12` (the default) to take screenshots for uploading to Steam. There are a couple of images I'd like to upload, but as they weren't taken using the new hotkey they don't appear in Screenshot Manager. Rather, they're in the old screenshots folder, `%ProgramFiles%\Steam\steamapps\\[username]\team fortress 2\tf\screenshots`, in the TGA format. Is there a way I can import these screenshots to Screenshot Manager for upload to my Steam profile?


title: What is garena.com in relation to League of Legends?

text: I saw a link to this URL http://lol.garena.com/ The title says League of Legends Singapore, but the Riot LoL site doesn't appear to have any links? Is it a third party implementation of LoL or perhaps an instance of LoL that was bought/rented from Riot?


title: How do I make more building "combos"?

text: Early in the game I got a combo by following a specific recipe of placing buildings next to each other: Eye Glasses store, Fruit Stand, Flower Cart. This created some huge windmill thing on top of the fruit stand, and apparently I get bonuses to the shops for arranging them this way. Is there a generic formula, or some other way I can determine how to arrange buildings to get these bonuses?


title: In Beat Hazard, how do I earn perk unlocks?

text: At first, I thought it was 1 per rank gained; however, skipping about 7 ranks in one go still only got me a single unlock. Now, I'm actually at the maximum rank, but half the perks are still locked. So, how _are_ they unlocked?


title: Is there a way to make the announcers talk less?

text: One thing that is driving my crazy about Madden 12 is the repetition in the announcers' dialog. It seems that there's only one scripted conversation per team to introduce the offense and defense. I am sick of hearing how Troy Polamalu is destined for the hall of fame and Hines Ward leads the Steelers' offense. I don't want to mute the announcers completely, just lower their verbosity - or at least these repetitive scripted introductions. Is this possible?


title: Is infinite inventory possible in multiplayer creative mode?

text: Setting up a new server for my kids. They love creative mode in SMP, so I thought I'd set the server up to use creative mode. Works fine, flying enabled, however I cannot seem to enable the item selection from SMP creative mode, where you can just pick whatever block you want. Anyone tried setting that up, either vanilla or with a mod?


title: How do I keep Endermen out of my mushroom farm?

text: I created a nice dark underground room for the growing of mushrooms. Sometimes mobs spawn there but that hasn't been a problem until the Endermen decided they liked the blocks in my walls. Is there a way to modify a small room which is suitable for growing mushrooms, to be less comfortable to Endermen? I can only think of putting water everywhere so that it will kill the Endermen, but that will also limit my growing space.


title: Will experience orbs burn in lava in minecraft?

text: Anyone tested that? I need to get rid of them. Once my friend died, he dropped so many orbs, that server can't work fine. I absorb them all (it took about 20-30 minutes), so if I will die, server will crash again. So if I died in lava lake, will all orbs burn out?


title: Inferno items salvage vs vendor sell?

text: I've seen a lot of people in inferno salvage their items, is this better than selling to the vendors? I'm always talking about non-auctionable items, of course. Also I've gotten a legendary resource from a blue item, are these expensive or hard to come across?


title: What is the best keyboard button setting you use to run fast in Assassin's Creed?

text: I just started playing "Assassin's Creed". It's confusing me. I'm at the beginning, I have to run fast and win the race with one guy, but it's difficult to press 2 buttons at the same time and then also manage the direction and walking buttons. Am I doing it wrong or is running really dependent on pressing two buttons at the same time? Can you please tell me what a good combination or key mapping will make running easier for me?


title: Pop-up appears when keeping a key pressed for more than a second while playing Diablo 3 on OS X

text: A couple of minutes ago, while playing, I began experiencing a strange issue: whenever I keep pressed for a second or more some of the keys, a pop-up appears asking me to choose from a set of similar characters. ![A screenshot of the pop-up.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rwYNj.jpg) ![The pop- up appears even in the chat box.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hZjse.jpg) ![And when I input my password, too.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/wi4bQ.jpg) Some considerations regarding this issue:   * I never ever encountered it before today.   * I installed Diablo 3 on day one, and never had any issue with it (~30 hours of gameplay to date).   * The problem began in the middle of a gaming session, an hour and an half from the start.   * I didn't install anything or changed any setting, neither in the game nor in OS X.   * The pop-up seems belonging to OS X, because of its look and the fact that it can't be screenshotted neither by the game nor the operating system.   * I could not find any setting that could be related to this in "Keyboard" or "Universal access" in "System preferences".   * I don't know if I hit some voodoo key combo while playing.   * I already tried the classical help desk solutions (close and reopen the game, restart the computer, etc) to no avail.   * It does not happen with other applications (e.g. Firefox, Terminal).


title: How are treasure goblin locations determined?

text: I have played through Act 1 inferno more times than I can count. I've noticed that treasure goblins seem to reappear in similar areas. Their locations don't seem to be entirely random. For example, every time I've found a treasure goblin in the Forsaken Woods, he is always somewhere on the left side of the map, near the forest edge. The same can be said for the ones I've found in other areas of Act 1 as well. The exact spot they appear varies somewhat, but the actual location seems to be fairly uniform. I think it's pretty obvious that their locations may be predetermined. So my question is: are there spots where treasure goblins are more likely to appear? If so, where? Are there any other factors that may cause them to be more likely to appear?


title: How can I kill those nasty noximanders in the blacksmith's cellar?

text: In the very back of the blacksmith's basement _(Who am I kidding it was a dungeon!)_ I ran into these horrible creatures that bite you and leave you to die in seconds from their poison. Any ideas on how to properly kill them?


title: What are those big floating things in Super Meat Boy called?

text: I mean those floating corpses that chase Meat Boy about in the Chapter 5: Rapture.


title: In Borderlands, what is the fastest way to get 5 seconds of hangtime in a vehicle?

text: I'm starting fresh and seeing if I can complete bigger challenges earlier on to net large amounts of experience for a low-level character. Out of these challanges, the hang-time in vehicle challanges seem like they would be particularly easy to net. Because of this, I'm curious: What's the earliest point in the game where one can net the 5 second hang-time achievement? If you don't know if your suggested location is the earliest location, that's fine; I have never gotten the 5 seconds of hangtime achievement and so would like to know where it can be gotten regardless of time spent reaching the location.


title: Is there a multi-world bukkit-plugin with per-world(-group) inventory?

text: I set up my bukkit server to run multiple worlds. However, one of them is supposed to be a creative one (i.e. `give` etc allowed), another one is survival based and no cheating allowed. Currently the inventory stays the same when travelling from one world to another, which kind of defies the purpose. Is there a plugin for bukkit to have an individual inventory for each world or even better for different world-groups?


title: Start GTA in Online mode

text: I almost exclusively play GTA Online these days (I can’t remember the last time I played Story mode). I just wondered if there were a way to make the game start in Online mode automatically without me having to press `X` (PS3) each time whilst the game’s loading?


title: Starcraft 2 license problem on the website

text: I have problem my license SC2 license does not show up when I log into my account on battle.net. The strange thing is that I have it only at website - when I log into my SC2 account in the game everything is fine. What's going on? Here is a screenshot from the website.


title: What does Facebook Login do in MW3 Multiplayer?

text: I see there is a Facebook Login in the MW3 Multiplayer main menu and I wonder What it actually does. Will I have to install a Facebook App in my Profile? If it works as an announcer, can I set who sees my actions and to what extent? For example: I want only my close friends and not my co-workers see my progress. Is that how it works? And one-nice to have: I see the login is not diverted to a browser but takes place in the client. What is the security situation here?   Can anyone network sniff and see if it is https?

title: What is known about the "forbidden 7"?

text: In Super Smash Bros Brawl, there are 7 characters that have "files" found in the game, but do not make an appearance in the actual game. What I want to know is in what state were these characters and what else do we know about them? (Were there models in the game, movesets, are they in any form playable? etc etc)


title: How do I survive in lane against Ezreal?

text: Pulsefire Ezreal came out and there's been a lot more Ezreal players. He's hard to gank with just one rank in his Arcane Shift and hard to harass with his Essence Flux going over minions and slowing my attack speed. Trinity does so well on him that he can build just a Phage and survive and burst for someone like Graves. How can I farm in lane without having to worry about him killing me? Is there a particular champion or support that counters him particularly well?


title: How to cross the room with symbols on the floor

text: What is the logic behind the room with the symbols on the floor in the French Chateau? I realise I need to follow the directions in the journal, but it seems that even when I take exactly the same path I fail at different points.


title: Do my sims have to work every single day?

text: After having played the Sims 2 and 3, I've come back to the Sims 1 (my main computer broke).   One thing has been bothering me a lot: my sims never seem to have a day off—it's never weekend! Am I missing something? How do my sims get a chance to socialize when they have to go to work every single day? Or don't they?


title: What does "P" mean in command listings?

text: In the command list menu several attacks, particularly supers, use "P" as a command. But there's no P button. There's HP, MP and LP for high/medium/low punches, but P doesn't seem to mean "any punch" either. What's do I need to input to match "P" in attack commands?


title: Can I cancel out of a palette choice?

text: In two player/etc I'll often accidentally press X to select my character, when to pick an explicit palette from a list you need to press Start (otherwise a palette is mapped to whatever button you press and you get that one). Is there any way to cancel out of this palette choice so I can choose again? If I press circle (cancel in PS3 controls) it just continues anyway.


title: Are unofficial Wiimotes a good alternative to official Nintendo ones?

text: I'm looking for new Wiimotes, for the legacy Wii. My goal is to buy the 3rd and 4th Wiimotes for my console. These devices will be primarily used to play some games with children, like Mario, not high-paced games. I can see a lot of "compatible" devices that are neither official nor built by Nintendo. What is the quality of these alternative devices compared to the official ones? Do these devices operate like an official one? Should I expect the same reactivity, precision, etc.? I assume the global finish of the product may give a cheaper feeling, but I can live with that.


title: Can I trade a Steam game that I don't want?

text: The title pretty much says it all. If someone gave me a game, and I opened it for a few minutes to take a gander, can I still trade it to someone else? Or is it forever mine? For example, if someone were to gift me a copy of DotA 2 (not that I don't like DotA, it's just an example), and I opened it to see what was in it, can I still gift it to someone else? **Edit** : Follow-up question: Can I have an opened copy of game _X_ , but still receive additional copies of game _X_ if I am, say, the middle-man for a Secret Santa or something of the like?


title: How do I make a pick-up for Smoke on the Water?

text: As Franklin, I purchased the Smoke on the Water business. I later received a text saying: > Hey Franklin, we've been literally burning through supplies here! I'm down a > driver - do you have time to do a pick-up? The text doesn't offer a way to respond, and they aren't a phone contact. What I can't figure out, is how to do that pick-up? I've gone to the business location in Vespucci Beach, but nothing triggers. I've checked the map, and don't see any mission indicators either. What am I missing?

text: How long is a Grand Theft Auto 5 day in real time?


title: How long do competitor stocks go up after you complete an assassination mission?

text: I was just wondering when to sell the stocks. Do they hit a plateau, or if they just keep on going up? EDIT: It seems to be different for each stock. Most of them will hit a plateau though I've found, so you're really going to want to sell them before it drops back. Don't get greedy and wait it out, when the price is basically stable at the top, sell it quick. On the multiple judge assassination, I waited too long. Went to +50%, stayed there a day or so, then tanked right back down. I'm accepting the answer with the guide though, because it's a rather helpful one.


title: Is picking a lock on an "owned" chest considered a crime?

text: In various locations I've "infiltrated" I've noticed that there are locked chests. Usually there's a little bit of "red text" saying I can pick the lock - which typically indicates that this is a criminal act. However, I don't know if I'd actually get busted for doing this in front of someone, and there's also not a "percentage chance of failure" like for stealing. I can't tell if I'm going to get into trouble or not before I start, which is important since I _don't particularly like jail._ If I pick a NPC owned, locked item in front of witnesses, but don't steal any of the items, will I get into trouble with the law? What circumstances will cause me to get busted?


title: How can we restart a game?

text: I have done playthrough 2 completely. My question is: How can we start over with our upgraded characters? Is there any reset but keep your character option?


title: Where can I buy lockpicks?

text: Apart from the occasional 6-10 picks as random loot, I seem to occasionally be running pretty low on lockpicks. Where can I buy them?


title: Build new towers or upgrade existing ones in Four Days?

text: When I play the iPad game Four Days, it seems that multiple towers are sometimes less effective than less towers that are upgraded. However, I built the multiple, less powerful towers to make a long path, since the tutorial advises that longer paths give you more opportunity to shoot the enemy. So, for the harder levels, which results in the most kills: long, less powerful paths of towers or shorter paths with upgraded towers? And related, should you always upgrade towers as far as possible, or is it more efficient only to upgrade once?


title: How do you get Shepherd the hoody in ME3?

text: I've seen footage of Shepherd with a hoody in ME3. Is this an accomplishment or something? Or is it a mod and not actually available in the game?

text: I am lvl 87 and trying to upgrade my from Uchigatana +10 to Uchigatana +11. After checking the giant smith in anor londo and the smith in undead parish, none of them offered me to upgrade to 11. I am supposed to have titanite chunks. I have nine of them :-/


title: Download Portal 2 authoring tools without Portal 2 installed

text: Is it possible to install the Portal 2 authoring tools without Portal 2 installed. Otherwise, would it be fool steam into thinking I have? The reason I'm asking is that I have Portal 2 installed for mac. However I can also run Steam through wine, to play the games only available for windows. Now I want to install the Portal authoring tools on the wine steam, but Steam wants me to download Portal 2. Could I point Steam to my mac version or do I need PC version for it to work?


title: How can I use the wingstick more effectively?

text: I have to admit that the wingstick is my favorite quick-use item in Rage so far, the main reason being it has saved me from a savage beating many times while reloading my main weapon. While I usually use wingsticks in situations much too tense to make any astute observations, I've noticed that their effectiveness seems to vary. At times, they will simply lodge into their intended target, killing it, but at other times they ricochet around the room, damaging multiple foes, potentially (I don't think I've actually managed to pull this off). I'm pretty sure I even managed to catch one that I threw in a very boomerang like fashion. While I haven't been able to figure it out by myself yet, the varying effects seem linked to a multitude of factors, such as the first thing the wingstick hits (enemy/wall), the throwing angle, the type of enemy and so on. If anyone could shed some light on this, I would be grateful.

text: I can't find the option to create a 4v4 custom game. How do I do this? The loby opens with a 5v3 setup and I can't move the 5th to the second team. Edit: Nevermind, suddenly it started to work. I have no idea why. Perhaps some battle.net bug. Edit2: I'm so stupid... I left the loby and the bug is back now.

text: I was playing Pudge. Tried to save an ally Sand King so i hooked him in sandstorm. Hooked him successfully but the sandstorm's animation was in the hero's previous position. Will SK still be invisible near me until he moves?? Where will the enemies get damaged?Is it Near the current position of SK or the place of sandstorm's animation?


title: Borderless window mode in Payday 2?

text: I have a multi-monitor setup on the PC that I generally game on, as a result I usually run games either in EyeFinity mode (utilising all monitors as a single screen with the game across all of them) or more often, running games in "borderless window mode" so that I can freely move my mouse between screens and chat on the bridge, or whatever. Payday 2 doesn't support borderless window mode - it has a bordered window mode and a fullscreen mode. Are there any configuration file changes I can make that will force a borderless window mode, or any external utilities I can use to achieve the same effect?


title: Grand Theft Auto 5 - Los Santos Civilian Population?

text: Are there any reliable sources which document what the population of Los Santos is in Grand Theft Auto 5? I am aware that most civilians will likely respawn elsewhere in the city - otherwise, in theory, a player of GTA5 could wipe out the entire city (although it will certainly take some time to do!). I played for an hour yesterday evening - as I'm sure that one or two others across the globe may have also done - and it dawned on me that I have not read nor heard anything about the population of Los Santos. If anybody can help I would love to learn this. For clarity, please note that by "population" I mean the number of human beings living in Los Santos, regardless of their profession, colour or creed. Many thanks.

title: Dota 2 config file in steam gets reset all the time!

text: I've just started playing dota 2 for a week now and have played LoL for a year. I've researched some stuff about binding and editing the config file. I've found what I wanted to do, however, every time I exit dota 2, the config file gets reset, and the things I've added won't work after reopening dota2. I really don't want to type approx 10 lines of code in the console everytime I've to restart dota 2. The core problem is that some things in the config file gets removed, some gets readjusted to the original and some do not work even if they stay there. Config file path: E:*MyFolder*\Steam\SteamApps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\cfg Here are some example: These codes get removed every time: > alias "leftclick" "+sixense_left_click; -sixense_left_click" > > alias "atkGround" "mc_attack; leftclick" These codes are there, but never work. Worked only the first time: > bind "MOUSE4" "atkGround" > > bind "F1" "dota_camera_setpos -2273.898682 1232.745483 982.072876" > > bind "F2" "dota_camera_setpos 3035.773438 -2972.680176 966.072937" This one gets readjusted to 600 every time! > dota_minimap_hero_size 900 Is there a way to make these permanent?!

title: How to kill Uldred on Dragon Age: Origins?

text: I am in the mage tower now with Shale, Morrigan and Zevran and I am facing Uldred. I am siding with the templars, because Morrigan said so, and I am having a really hard time beating Uldred. I have been trying over 10 tries already, and it is starting to annoy me. I do not have any healing spells and have some health potions left. I am a warrior human. Together with Shale, that makes two tanks. Now I've read somewhere that you need to use that spell you get from the other mage to stop the abominations from appearing, or something. Have not tried that, but... What would be the best course of action to beat this enemy? Thanks


title: Can you disassemble items?

title: How can I acquire more opulent homes?

text: In Civilization III, if you're doing particularly well, your people will sometimes voluntarily suggest that you add an upgrade to your Monarchical/Despotic/Presidential/Chancellor's/Comrade's Palace. You can go from a dinky cave on a hilltop to a grandly posh domicile such as this: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/stlJc.jpg) What triggers the ability to upgrade your palace?


title: How long does money stay after death?

text: In Terraria, how long does money you drop from death stay on the ground? I'm wondering if it is worth the risk of another death to try and run for my money.


title: Is there a way to get into display cases in the diamond store without triggering the alarm?

text: Our crew had a good start at stealthing the mission, taking out all the guards and controlling the civilians. However, when we broke the first display case, all our effort was for naught since it triggered the alarm and our escape vehicle took off. Is there a way to disable the display case alarms?


title: What does each stat do in Dungeon Siege 3?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  What do certain item attributes in Dungeon Siege 3 mean? Dungeon Siege 3 is big on the loot. It seems you can't walk two steps without tripping over some loot or another (all of it conveniently usable by your character), and there are an almost dizzying array of possible stats with which to find on them; What is lacking, is documentation about what each stat _does_. For instance, what are the benefits of +Block vs. +Warding ? What does Chaos: Fire do, and how is it different from Chaos: Lightning?


title: Why is my child's leige my spouse's?

text: I am playing as a queen, and I have 4 children. My first two have my husband as their liege, and my youngest two have me as their liege. Why are they not all mine? My oldest two have grown up, and now I cannot arrange marriages for them. What can I do?


title: What do the little blue squares on the minimap mean?

text: On the minimap I occasionally see small blue squares with little lines coming out of the corners. What do they mean? My first guess was that they were nearby explosions, but I think I see them too often for that to be the case. **EDIT** : Here's a pic, you can see two in the lower left (they might be circles and not squares like I first thought).


title: How do I limit how far from a stockpile a dwarf is allowed to go to fetch items?

text: Ideally, for a particular stockpile I want to be able to specify how far from the stockpile a dwarf is allowed to go for items. Alternatively, it would be nice to be able to assign a stockpile to a burrow, and only allow it to collect items from that burrow. For example, Say I'm excavating several veins of the same ore, and I want a localized stockpile at each one, but I don't want my Dwarves hauling ore across the map from one vein to another if the closer stockpile is full. Is there a way to limit the range of a stockpile like this in v0.34.11? Are there any mods out there that might do something similar?

title: Capacity limit for trade boats?

text: Sometimes I can't trade bigger amounts of goods because of a limit.   What kind of limit is this?   Do I have to comply with an overall value?   Or is there something like a capacity (dimension, weight) limit?   _(Are the boats that small as the boat footprint and rower may indicate?)   _ Or is there some limitation in the mixture of goods?


title: Is it possible to destroy UFO walls using only Heavy Cannon and grenades?

text: I shot down a large scout, eliminated aliens outside, and came inside to see this: crash damage has destroyed a portion of 1st floor floor, so when I use the elevator to go up a level and pass through the door I just fall back down. What are my options? Can I destroy the UFO walls to get at the remaining aliens?


title: Missions are gone?

text: Since the latest in-game update, the Android version of **Tiny Tower** now has "Saving VIPs" and the ability to select a specific store when building (for a lot of bux, too). But all my Missions are gone. Both the available and completed missions show 0. I didn't find anything at Mobage Support. I did find a lot of comments on Google Play Store reviews. What's going on? Oh, and incidentally, I have already:   * Force Stopped the app   * Cleared the app data   * Uninstalled/Reinstalled the app None of which had any effect.


title: How do you unlock costumes in Tokyo Jungle

text: I know that Completing the "complete all (B, C, D etc.) Challenges" challenges unlocks different costumes but those challenges arent showing up anymore? Do you only get one chance to unlock costumes?


title: Are there some levels that can't be finished with certain characters?

text: I've been playing Dustforce, and just yesterday learned that the different characters are not there simply for aesthetics. It makes perfect sense as a game-design decision that, in the overworld/hub area/level select places, you have to use different characters to access some new levels. The other night I encountered this: ![One level of Dustforce has this gigantic pit to cross, with only one enemy to kill, three quarters of the way across it.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/se31y.jpg) I assumed at first that this obstacle was not conquerable with the blue character, but I discovered that dash-jumping makes it possible. So this is strong evidence, but my ultimate question has not yet been definitively answered: Are there levels that only certain characters can finish, and if so, must you rely on trial and error or overworld suggestions to figure it out?

title: Do bosses drop a higher chance of iLv63 items?

text: Don't get me wrong, I've read Blizzard's announcment on patch 1.0.3, and this post as well Which parts of Inferno Act 1 actually drop ilvl 63 items?. What I want to ask is that, do you get a **rarer drop versus elites/champions for bosses**? Because I have 220% magic find and I'm actually getting **more** rare drops from **elites/champions** (1 - 3) than a **boss** fight alone (1), and if there isn't any difference, I might as well start hunting for elites/champs than farming all the way to a boss in Inferno.


title: Why does Starcraft 2 get slower as a match progresses?

text: The problem is simple, I fear the solution is unobtainable. Whenever I get (roughly) more than 120 supply my game comes to almost a complete standstill. Playing ladder makes me cry a little inside. I need it to not to lag at all. It's not the connection as playing campaign gives me the same problem. Currently all graphics are set to their very lowest.               My Rig:     Windows 7 b 64-bit     Intel core i7 3.5gh     16 GB of RAM (DDR3-2133 (G Skill RipjawsZ F3-17000CL9-4GBZH))     Radeon Dual-X R9 280x 3GB     448gb SSD Samsung     1000w PSU      I've overclocked a bit to get some extra juice out of this badboy. Sadly, in SC this makes no difference. I can play any other game for fun, Thief is the newest one I've tried out all on maximum. Running latest drivers and versions of everything. ![Cropped screenshot of CPU-Z output](http://i.stack.imgur.com/RRcGz.jpg)


title: Why can't I raise levies from half of my counties?

text: I took a break from playing Crusader Kings II for a few months. Since I've come back (November 2012), I'm suddenly unable to raise levies from most of my counties. The button is grayed out, even though there are some levies available to raise in the county. (The green/red bar for the levy in the county info screen is mostly green.) The most distressing part is that some of those counties could raise ships, and so now I have more troops than transport. I tried raising all available troops from the Military screen, but most counties don't have any army on them. How did raising levies change?


title: Why do mobs die in mined quarry?

text: I'm asking this just out of curiosity. After installing `QuarryPlus` on my Minecraft 1.6.4 I have noticed that all mobs which were in mining area (quarry was place in the Nether - there were tons of mobs!!!) before the end of mining just died and I have found a LOT of experience orbs there. Why? What has killed them?

title: Will I get a fine if I "vamp-up" in front of people I kill?

text: In Skyrim: Dawnguard, I recently became a vampire lord (VL). Now, I know that people remain pretty peaceful if you're a vampire (and you drink regularly). However, I've read that if you transform into a VL in front of other people, you'll get a "fine" you can't pay and everyone will try to kill you forever. Now, suppose I'm in a bandit cave and there are, say, 5 bandits. If I transform into a VL in front of them and then kill them all, will I be attacked the next time I go to town? Similarly, if I'm in town or in a populous area and I transform in front of a lone villager or two (no guards though) and kill them, will I be attacked?

title: How to be sure the GTA V "play disk" isn't installed?

text: After reading all the problems caused by installing both disks on the Xbox360, I was wondering if I did the installation process as suggested.   After installing the first disk I was asked to insert the second one. I'm not sure if there was an option to skip this stage and I'm not quite sure if, during this stage, the second disk was actually installed or that was just a required step to start the game from disk. As far as I remember, I was never asked to install the second disk. I was wondering about this cause I noticed the "popup" effect during the beach scene How can I tell if I mistakenly installed the "play disk" too?


title: What are 'Loyalty Points'?

text: I have been doing some PvE missions outside of the initial training missions and have noticed that in addition to ISK and the occasional item I am now accumulating something called 'Loyalty Points': ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KSy7L.png) What are Loyalty Points, where can I spend them and what can I spend them on?


title: Raptr Cookie Clicker hours?

text: Raptr is tracking playtime for Cookie Clicker. How does that work? Is it only tracking manually tracked gametime or does the desktop app automagically detect that it is running? I see people who have spurts of 9+ hours on cookie clicker, but manual tracking caps at 6 hours at a time so I suspect some form of sorcery. If there is some automagic, what are the conditions and limitations for tracking the gametime? Is it just certain browsers? Does it have to be the active tab? Does the browser have to have focus? Can the browser be minimized as long as the cookie clicker tab is active? I've been playing, only refreshing for updates for about 24 days and give or take a shutdown or 4, that probably still amounts to about 23 days of total playtime. I had Raptr running, I thought, but I guess it was signed out or needed an update or something because it didn't track any of the playtime. Maybe I needed to add the game to my library before it would automagically check. Cookie clicker itself tracks start date, not hours, so I don't expect an accurate tally of the actual hours to date, but I would like to track from now on without having to check in every 6 hours to manually track. **How exactly does hour tracking for Cookie Clicker on Raptr work?**


title: How to keep track of interesting clips while recording

text: I try to record some of my games, such as Diablo III, DayZ and Planetside 2, where the gameplay can be pretty intense at times. I often end up having 3-4hr sessions and equal length videos. Lots of standard, uninteresting gameplay, and few intense highlights. I'd love to create 10-15 minute clips of the highlights of these sessions, especially in multiplayer where I play with friends. I almost always loose track of that one special kill, a killing streak, or any other bits of interesting gameplay. Is there a way to keep track of these things as they happen, without having to re-watch the entire video? I am using DXtory and FFsplit as capturing / recording software. Could be a tip or technique, mobile app, keyboard macro or annotator, anything that allows me to easily find interesting bits of footage in those marathon recording sessions. Thanks!


title: Is there an updated Cataclysm flight path/travel map anywhere?

text: I've been searching for a map of griffin/boat/zeppelin travel routes for Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms that has been updated since Cataclysm, but all I've found using Google are out-of-date maps from years ago. I'm particularly interested in Alliance routes, but a complete map for both factions would be nice too. Can anyone provide a link to one?


title: How do I unlearn an enchantment?

text: I use Enchanting Awakened mod, but we are supposed to only be able to learn new enchantments (thru disenchanting), when we have the appropriate perks... The problem is, I also use the Frostfall mod, that lets me have a portable enchanting equipment. But that equipment does not have the enchanting table script that prevent me from learning enchantments. So I am trying to find a way to fix my game.. If I save the game like `save test 1` it generates a text file where I can read all learned enchantments:               ENCHs:            0010EAD1    17/17    00000001  74 Corpus: Channeled Alteration            - Flags(6)                        0010FB96    17/17    00000001  74 Corpus: Frost                           - Flags(6)                        0010FB7D    17/17    00000001  74 Aether: Aetherflux                      - Flags(6)                        0010FB75    17/17    00000001  74 Chaos: Destruction                      - Flags(6)                        0010FB97    17/17    00000001  74 Aether: Spellstrike                     - Flags(6)                        0010FB9A    17/17    00000001  74 Soul Trap                               - Flags(6)                        0010FB74    17/17    00000001  74 Aether: Conjuration                     - Flags(6)                        0010FB99    17/17    00000001  74 Aether: Lightning (Rank I)              - Flags(6)                        0010FB95    17/17    00000001  74 Chaos: Fire                             - Flags(6)                           Total ENCH Count: 9  Total ENCH Size: 153/153 - Data: 54/54 Overhead: 99 Debug: 0 Min ENCH Size: 17  Max ENCH Size: 17  Average ENCH Size: 17.00      I wonder if I could remove such entries and recreate the savegame? I found this tool: Save Cleaner, but I am not sure if it can handle learned enchantments. As soon I have time, I have to play with it to see what happens! Feel free to try and report too! Are there any other useful tools to accomplish this goal? **How do I unlearn an enchantment?**

title: How do I know if I've hit a checkpoint recently?

text: If I need to peel myself away from Diablo III, it's usually convenient to do so at a checkpoint so when I quit and rejoin I'm plopped down right back where I was (or equivalently in a randomly generated area). The _Checkpoint!_ messages though are quickly forgotten unless one cares about them (and I usually don't). How do I know where my most recent checkpoint is (without quitting and rejoining, possibly losing a fair bit of progress through a level)?

title: Any more compact self-activating piston designs?

text: I need to push incoming blocks in a new direction using a piston activated as soon as there is a new block to be pushed. In the screenshot, if the block from below is pushed in front of the piston, it passes the signal, powers the piston, the piston pushes it away and retracts awaiting another block. That circuit satisfies my needs (for vertical->sideways transport) but is awfully "verbose" with 2x5 footprint. I'm fairly sure I saw similar circuits using one torch or something else about as compact. ![Piston transport](http://i.stack.imgur.com/diiuS.png) I'm also in need similar circuits for turning the "stream of blocks" horizontally (say incoming from east, push to north) and horizontal-to- vertical (e.g. incoming from east push down or up).


title: Locked out of Steam - not getting passcode email

text: My firewall was blocking Steam while I was logging in and failing. Now I am locked out of Steam and need an access code to log in. There seems to be no way to tell the Steam servers to send this code and I didn't get one in my email anywhere (checked all folders and searched for "`steam`"). I sent Support an email but haven't got a response in over a day now. This seems like an incredibly easy thing to fix if they could just send an email with the code. Is there really nothing else I can do except just wait an unknown amount of time until my ticket is finally seen? * * * Edit: Steam support was useless, took 4 days, and only reset my password which I could already do and did. They clearly didn't read the ticket info I provided because I stated that.. clearly. They did not resend the Steam Guard pass-code and as of now it is simply disabled. Not sure whether I will be able to log in or get it working if I do re-enable it.


title: Is there anything to lose (permanently) by starting a second playthrough ASAP?

I'm not concerned with missing out on some level 20-25 unique blue or purple stuff; I am concerned about starting a second playthrough and being cut off from some SDUs or otherwise unattainable upgrades, permanently. Can this happen? Are there any permanent upgrades that occur once per playthrough and are not available from the black market?

Is there a reason for using a staff/wand other than Staff Mastery and Wand Chaos?


title: Field creation AP efficiency

text: Should I create two fields with one link or should I create one field at a time? It seems like I get 2.8k AP from 2 fields with one link, and 1.5k from just one field per link.

Any benefits to either of these?


title: How do I beat level 7 of TOWLDR?

text: In TOWLDR, I can't figure out how to beat level 7. While it finishes on it's own eventually, and you can continue since the game operates on the honor system, I don't think I can get the best ending with that much time, and it's really boring. I noticed that clicking the letters makes them show up big(except "7", which "2"), but this doesn't seem to do anything. How do I complete this level?

text: I have played the game completely through and I am wondering if there is any difference in the way you complete a mission. If you do it completely unseen do you get any sort of offset in XP for all the missed take downs knock downs? Does it have any impact on the story line like > Does it alter the scene where you save Jacks and he sees you kill all those > people if you did not kill them? I guess I am wondering if there is any replay added to the game other than personal challenge if I were to try a completely stealth/knock down only play through vs my last one where leaving people standing just appeared to give me less XP.

From what I saw this could save me nearly 5 GiB and would therefore offset the installation of REDkit a bit. It's not that I'm short on disk space, but I don't like wasting it either.

title: Do intermediate portal levels have an effect on loot quality

text: As a level 6 player, it is impossible to upgrade a portal to level 5 on your own:               2*6 + 2*5 + 4*4 + 2*3 = 4.75      So the portal will be Level 4 at max. It also shows "L4" in the app when you select the portal. When hacking, it will yield mostly items of level max(portal lvl, player lvl), uncommonly of that +/-1 and very rarely +/-2 My question is: Does hacking a level 4.75 portal have the same item drop probability as a plain level 4 portal? Or will I get level 5 items more often? * * * There was a similar question a few months ago, but the answers didn't rely on hard evidence or credible sources: What determines the quality of items obtained from a portal hack? **Edit to make the difference more obvious** : I do **NOT** want to know what other factors might influence the items dropped. This question is specifically about whether the portal level is counted discrete (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...) or if intermediate levels (4.125, 4.25, 4.5, ...) exist for calculation.

title: Implication of specialist step order

text: In the _Unity of Command_ manual, when discussing specific combat calculations example (see image below), it is stated so: > **Specialist Step Loss:** 4 red Xs on the combat sheet show that all Soviet > losses will be absorbed by regular steps because NKVD is in position 5. If > the same unit is attacked again however, the NKVD will be first in line to > take a loss. ![Unity of Command example combat projection](http://i.stack.imgur.com/p0mbF.png) Does it mean if it is attacked in the same turn, or at any of the subsequent turns? How does suppression factor into this? For instance, if on the next attack specialist step is suppressed, and then the next attack after that causes one or two losses, will it affect the suppressed steps first or only those active steps actually participating in combat, thus sparing the specialist? In that case, is the order of steps changes? Also, does it mean that the most beneficial position for the specialist is the last, eighth step for the full-strength seven step regular, and for that reason it should be returned into the force pool via reorganization if the unit it’s currently attached to suffers heavy casualties to prevent its loss, so it can be re-attached to a stronger unit later?

title: How do I complete the 'The Madness Contained' achievement?

text: The Demon Hunter class achievement _The Madness Contained_ requires you to "Spend 150 Hatred and 50 Discipline in 6 seconds." Using the Vengeance passive ability, it's simple enough to _get_ 150 Hatred and Preparation can instantly restore all Discipline and with the Invigoration Rune can add 10. Using a 14 discipline skill twice, Preparation with Invigoration and that same skill thrice more with a +2 discipline item equipped or fast Discipline regeneration or using the passive Perfectionist to bring he cost down to 12.6, would consume 50 discipline. Hatred is easy to burn in no time with 3 Cluster Arrows. There are many other examples where the math will work out to count up the costs. The problem I'm having is the cooldowns are too long and/or the skill costs too low to do this in 6 seconds for Discipline skills. I feel like I'm missing something simple or I'm doing it wrong or maybe I'm just not good enough. In theory, if you had +20 discipline, you wouldn't need preparation and could just spam companion 5 times, but I've yet to see anything with that much of a Discipline boost. **In what order should I use which skills in order to complete this achievement?**

title: Skills for EVE and DUST 514 Gameplay

text: I'm a new player to both EVE and Dust 514. I'm playing Dust with a small group of guys; we don't plan to grow to more than 8. Most of them play only Dust, but I wanted to explore the current interactions of the two games aside from orbital bombardment. Finding relevant information has been difficult. All I can piece together so far is   * the pilot must be enlisted in Faction Wars (which doesn't impact the Dust corp, just the pilot, for purposes of OB)   * something called Planetary Conquest is involved, which may or may not be related to Planetary Interaction The second item regarding PI is what's confusing me. I'd like for us to take on more lucrative deals and start fighting for districts, buts me after reading http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Planetary_Conquest it is very unclear how things like districts, jump clones, passive district battles and more actually work for a skills standpoint, if at all, for things like surface infrastructure. What's the general path for a single pilot whose job is only to earn ISK for the corp and help acquire districts in FW? Is it correct that the PI path is the way to go here?

title: Why zerg taking a third to P's FFE or T's double Command Center is only an equilibrium?

text: When I watch MLG or some other replays, the commentator always says Zerg taking a third vs Protoss's FFE or Terrans' double Command Center is an equilibrium, why? I think taking a third this early causes more points to guard in the middle of the game, especially when Protoss decides to push and when Terran decides to drop their marines. As a Zerg, I build a Spore Crawler and Spine Crawler at every base, and put some zerglings and Banelings there, but a little mistake will let all my drones die and sometimes I even lost my base. Someone told me that I must use Muta's to keep pressuring Terran or Protoss to let them be away of me third or even my fourth. But a few protoss cannons or a few Terran Missle Turrets or pulse marine just keep my Muta's far away from his base, and after a while, his Thor will come out. So why is taking a third only an equilibrium vs T/P's fast expand? It seems to be a burden for me. And for math only, shouldn't 3 > 2 so doesn't this means taking a third early should let me take advantage?

I'm asking specifically for barbarian, but answers covering all classes are preferred.

title: What rune makes Hungering Arrow do the most damage on average?

text: I have a Demon Hunter alt, and I was interested in comparing Hungering Arrow runes. Specifically, which rune should make it do the most damage on average? I saw _on average_ because it can pierce and thus get you multiple hits in. Even if you're firing at one target it can pierce, turn around, and hit them again! So which of the runes is best?   * **Base:** 115% damage, 35% pierce   * **Puncturing Arrow:** 115% damage, 50% pierce   * **Cinder Arrow:** 150% damage, 35% pierce   * **Shatter Shot:** 115% damage, 35% pierce, pierce means splitting into 3 arrows (that can all pierce too?)   * **Devouring Arrow:** 115% damage, 35% pierce, each pierce means +70% damage   * **Spray of Teeth:** This one depends on your crit percentage and doesn't help with single mobs, so I'll ignore it My gut says that Puncturing Arrow or Cinder Arrow are best on average, doing 150% damage up-front, or doing 115% more often do to 50% pierce. But I'm not good enough at statistics to back this up... maybe Devouring Arrow is better mathematically over time. Plus, I haven't unlocked Devouring Arrow yet, so I don't know if all 3 arrows can continue to pierce. For example, if there's one enemy and it pierces, do all 3 sub-arrows hit the mob again?

title: How do I not screw up the best ending in Cave Story?

text: Grace Note said, in an answer I hadn't read until it was too late: > The best ending is achieved by following specific requirements at certain > points in the game. It's very difficult to explain without any spoilers, but > it involves skipping certain events and items to get better items at a later > point, and making sure you follow through on an optional sequence of events. Well, five minutes ago I got stuck for long enough in Cave Story+ to finally fire up a walkthrough for the game. I was in Labyrinth B, looking for a power source of sorts, and I thought I'd done everything there needs to be done in the general neightbourhood, zealously saving after each event. Then I read: > There are several ways to get to the door: _[a door I'd already reached]_ > >   * If you have the Machine Gun on level 3, boost upwards by firing it down. > _[like I've been doing for ages now]_ >   * Go ahead past Monster X, talk to Professor Booster, and get the Booster > 0.8. _[yeah, I've got that]_ This will cause you to lose your chance to get > the Booster 2.0 later _[what? why?]_ , and also keep you from getting the > best ending _[OH GOD WHAT?]_ , but it will allow you to use the Booster 0.8 > to reach the door to the room with the Arms Barrier. _[no, god! no, god, > please, no! no! NO!NOOOOOOOOO-]_ > I had done that _five minutes ago._ Three hours of progress down the bin. He didn't even _ask_ me if I wanted the stupid booster or not.   * Do I _want_ to get the best ending, or is it something so incredibly hard (think "I Wanna Be The Guy!" difficulty) that's best left ignored pretending it doesn't exist?   * Is this path even available at all on Easy difficulty, what I'm playing on?   * What is it I must and, most importantly, must _not_ do to get the best ending?


title: Origin of the Qin Shi Huang music theme in Civilization 4?

text: I've been trying to identify the music that is heard while one talks diplomacy with _Qin Shi Huang_ in Civilization 4. The melody has been stuck in my head for a while now, and I'd like to know what it is I keep whistling. Sadly, it's not listed on the Wikipedia article about music in Civilization 4. Since I have not played any other games in the series, it is entirely possible the theme is a remake of music from an older game in the Civilization series. Does anyone know more about this music theme? For reference: I'm talking about this song:


title: Weird lags in dungeons

text: I am running the game on medium settings, with textures set to high and AA, AF off. I have not seen any stutter or FPS drops outside or in cities, but certain dungeons are causing weird lag. Mostly when there is a "rain" effect in them, or the dust in tombs. I suppose those are shader effects. The only changes I have made to the ini file are turning off Vsync and Mouse acceleration. I am playing the game on HP Probook 4530s, Pentium B940 2.0 GHz, Radeon 6490m 1 GB and 4 GB DDR3 RAM. Anybody had the same issues? **EDIT:**   So I have measured FPS using Fraps and it's really getting interesting. I measured it in Bthardamz and there is definitely some weird lag. But I'm getting about 35 fps, sometimes it goes down to about 25 for a second, but sometimes it goes up to 60. Depends on how much stuff is there to render. Yet the lags are happening independetly of the amount of frames. And since even 25 is high enough to be unnoticeable, I don't think it has to do with performance. Consequently, lowering shadows didn't help.


title: Is there a minimum amount of resources per seed?

text: I'm playing Minecraft on the Xbox, and I realized I almost have all the achievements, so I'm looking to complete the ones I still have left to do. One of which is the baking a cake achievement. I have the three buckets of milk, and more than enough wheat, and an egg. The problem is the sugar. I have found sugar cane, and made it into paper to create another map (I lost the first one). However, after searching half the world, that was the only sugar cane group I have ever found. **Is there a minimum amount of each resource spawned per seed? I know the map is random, but are there always at least x diamond ore, y gold ore, z pumpkins, etc.?** Is there more sugar cane to be found on the half of the map I have not yet explored? Or am I most likely wasting my time? PS- most of my map (so far) is a snow biome, with some forest(?) biome around it

title: Which low-skill labors only reduce time

text: My fortress is starting to grow, just under the 80 mark with my last migration wave. And, well, I'm getting a lot of unskilled dwarfs migrating in that I'm simply designating as "peasants" to do all the menial jobs. Essentially, I really only want to assign labors to these guys where by the only thing that changes at higher levels is the speed of the job. I don't mind having lots of slow peasants, but I don't want peasants wasting my metal making low quality goods, if you see what I mean. Many of the pages on the wiki seem to say what the skill affects, but I wonder if there's an overview somewhere as there's a lot of labors to trawl over... Or maybe, what labor set do you guys allocate to your "peasants"?


title: What Rune and Meteorite combinations offer me the most effective blades?

text: So, I've just reached Chapter 4 in The Witcher (playing the Enhanced Edition if that matters), with a melee-focused build for Geralt, and I'm getting to the point where my options for weapons really open up. Specifically, I now have enough Red and Blue Meteorite pieces to put together just about any combination of those two, along with one Yellow Meteorite, and my current steel sword is Harvall, and I have an Illegal Sword in the bank. The Blacksmiths son in Murky Waters is offering Gwalhir for sale as well. (I can easily afford it if I go that route.) For Silver, I used my first three runes to make a Rune Sword, with 2 Earth and one Sun rune. I now have several of all three runes. What Rune and Meteorite combinations are going to offer me the most effective blades for upcoming encounters, or is there some other sword I should be chasing while ignoring Runes/Meteorites? (Alternately, is it possible to use the Meteorite pieces to enhance an existing sword like Harvall? Because that would be incredible.)


title: Is there a passive benefit of "Deflector Dish" and similar stats in Star Trek online?

text: Sometimes, fights get too intense that I cannot pick up my loot right away... How long does it last before it disappears? Does it stay there indefinitely until you load into a different area?


title: What are the ranges of each skill?

text: A number of skills seem to have a max range which is never explicitly mentioned in the skill. For example, when I cast Spirit Barrage, it will try to find a target near where I cast it, but will eventually stop if the target is too far away. Or I will cast Acid Cloud at the edge of my screen, and it will appear closer to me than where I clicked. When comparing the effectiveness of different skills, it would be very useful to know what the different ranges are. Has anyone done the science to determine them? Even a general "Short", "Medium", "Long" would be helpful.

title: Why am I having multiple problems with Minecraft not responding to commands or connecting to servers properly?

text: I think my Minecraft on my computer is broken or something. I can't seem to open my inventory. I keep pressing the `E` key but it doesn't open. I looked at the controls, but the controls were set to default, and the default key for inventory is the `E` key. I thought my `E` key was broken, so I tried it in Word, but the key still works. I then went to some other programs and tried it, but it still works. Another problem is the computer is now usually laggy when I play Minecraft; it only happens in Minecraft, no other games. It's like I was walking right, and then there was lava in front of me so I pressed `S`, but I fell into the lava. It's like a slow reaction. When I press multiplayer, all the servers in the list all say: "cannot reach server" , or "communication error". I can connect to the Internet, so that's not it.


title: What are the rules for green blocks decay in Antichamber?

text: What are exact rules for green blocks decay in Antichamber? When you have a chain of green blocks and take one in a middle some part (or all of it) of it will decay. How can you predict which part is it?   Is there a special rule for the situation when you remove one block, chain begin to dacay and meanwhile you remove another block? I see that if I have straight line of green blocks and remove one then the longest part will remain present (if parts are equal all will decay). But when the chain is not straight the behaviour looks unpredictable for me..


title: Luring goblin ambushes into my trap zone

text: So I've been ambushed a couple of times by goblins, and each time I send out squads of dwarves to go and face them (two melee squads, spear and sword, and a single marksdwarf squad) on the open plain. This results in more deaths than I would like, so I'm thinking of setting up a simple 'trap zone', maybe a hallway 1 tile wide lined with serrated disc traps, with a squad of dwarves at the end to finish off anything that does get through. But I noticed that ambushers don't really approach the fort, they just sort of stand out there, taking potshots at passers by. Is there any way to lure them in so my traps can chew them up?

I tried every single combination of the audio settings and nothing fixes or gets very close to fixing the sound issue. Framerate is fine, games play fine and look, only sound is a problem. The only option that seemed close to mattering is the buffer length, but setting the buffer too low completely destroyed the audio quality while leaving some of the lag, and lengthening it from stock size just made the delay longer. I'm in DeSMuME 0.9.10, tried .9.8 with no luck, tried both x86 and x64 versions, no difference. The game plays at full speed and the PC's a best, i7 4770k with a raedon 6950, so I don't think it's a system resources issue. I could swear I didn't have this issue with DeSmuME before but it's been years. Is this a fixable problem or is there an old version which works or what?

title: Do monsters respawn when I die in Dark Souls 2?

text: I really liked **Dark Souls** but after a while I was so frustrated because every monster respawned after I died. This was the only reason I stopped playing that game. I'm planning to buy **Dark Souls 2** if they fixed this annoying game mechanic. Do they respawn in **Dark Souls 2** when I die?


title: Is it possible to get an 'S' rank?

text: Is it possible to get an 'S' rank in Resident Evil 6? If so, what are the general requirements? I know some will probably be subjective to the level (time and enemies) but what about accuracy and deaths? is there a set rule for an 'S' rank? (assuming it is even possible) This was the case in most of previous games. So far my best is an A rank, and I suppose the closest I have to knowing if an 'S' rank is possible is that my number of deaths was at 1 (which gave me an 'A' rank) and I wonder if 0 deaths would be an 'S' rank. Anybody got anything better than an A?


title: If a staff member has maxed out their relevant stats is there a reason to assign later points?

text: I have a character assigned to Mash/Boil who has maxed out his Intelligence, Dexterity and Craft values. However, he is still levelling up, and has already earned at least one extra stat point. Is there a reason to assign said stat point to Patience? It's not the stat he's using, and it will increase the cost of his monthly wage.


title: Is there a way to get the latest server jar through a URL that doesn't change?

text: I'm writing a bash script to manage a vanilla server install on my eeePC. Right now I've been using `http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/launcher/minecraft_server.jar` to get the minecraft_server jar. It seems to only be getting the 1.5.2 server version instead of the 1.6.2 server version. Any ideas as to how I can grab the latest stable version through a similar url?


title: Is there a fix for the bugged playthrough 2 in Borderlands 2?

text: I finished playthrough 2 quests with my friends all out of order and it seems that my playthrough somehow got forever stuck on playthrough 2. I have no story missions left and if I accept new side quests they are not scaled to level 50, like they would be in playthrough 2.5. The last story mission I had to do was "Data Mining", has anyone else encountered the problem and do they know a way to fix it?

title: Minecraft is still crashing even after the 1.2_01 patch

text: Minecraft 1.2 came out earlier this week, and soon after was followed by another bugfix patch, putting us at 1.2_01. However, the game is still quite unstable for me:   * I am unable to go more than 10 minutes without minecraft crashing to a black screen. The program becomes unresponsive, and needs to be closed via the task manager. Because of this chunks are not saved (irritating, to say the least) so I find myself having to constantly hit "esc" to manually save the chunks for fear of losing progress in my world.   * Sometimes, when starting up the program, nothing on the initial log-in screen can be clicked, and the program is unresponsive. Eventually, it may or may not replace the log-in screen with a "cannot connect to minecraft.net" dialog. Am I the only one experiencing such difficulties? If others are having the same problems (I wasn't able to turn up anything recent with google alone), is there a way to fix this temporarily before another bugfix patch, 1.2_02, is sent out?


title: ION Drum Set Pedal Compatibility

text: I currently have a RB1 set that I got way back when it originally came out, but I've been considering getting a new set so that I can start playing pro drums on RB3. I figure that if I'm going to get a new set, I might as well splurge a little and get an ION set for myself. My hangup is this: After my original RB1 drum pedal broke I bought two of these pedals, which also came with a double-bass adapter. I really like the feel of the double-bass setup, and I really like the pedals themselves. I don't want to lose the ability to use these. In looking at the specs for the ION set, it appears that they use 1/4" cables/connectors for the pads and the pedal. Is this correct? If so, would it be possible to use my current double-bass adapter and pedals with an ION set if I pick up an 1/8" to 1/4" adapter? I'm mostly concerned that the adapter won't work, though I also don't know if the pedals would even work on their own either.
