title: Is there any way to increase my crafting success rate?

text: I can't recall if this was mentioned in the tutorial or not and I can't seem to find a way to review the tutorial. Each item has a specific chance of success based on its crafting difficulty. Is this set in stone for each item, or are there ways I can influence this success rate at all, like by leveling up, using an item or scroll that increases the success rate (if they exist), etc.? Or are the success percentages for items completely immutable? ![Sequence crafting](http://i.stack.imgur.com/K2Yef.jpg)


title: DVD drive thrashing on Wii

text: My kids just started playing the old Ben 10 Wii game (the one before Alien Force), and while they (and I) really like it, I can't get over the fact that this particular title thrashes the DVD drive like no other. It is literally seeking the entire time the game is being played. Surely, this can't be good for the system, but maybe the parts are intended to survive such a beating. Has anyone ever read about documented cases where the game design (constant seeking instead of more caching, perhaps) has actually contributed to the early failure of a system?

title: When playing Conquest, where are all of those points coming from?

text: When playing Conquest, I stay pretty mobile and basically focus on deterring the enemy, capturing flags and destroying vehicles (my favorite). I typically end up with about 3000-4000 points with 15 or so kills. I never camp as it bores the piss outta me. My question: I always see a guy that has 8000-9000 points, but he'll only have about 10 more kills. I'm sure he didn't capture 20 more flags, so is this person just camping our own flags, defending and just getting all the bonuses associated with that while handing out ammo or health? I've had a couple 7000 point rounds, but those are rare.

title: Problem with followers maxed on carrying capacity but not carrying that much

text: So I have a problem with Alea that I'm not sure how to get around. I currently have her outfitted in all glass armor, carrying an ebony axe and a dwarven bow of fire. She has about 160ish arrows (not that they add known weight). Besides a necklace, a circlet (of extreme archery) and her wedding ring that is all that is shown for her to be carrying. I went to give her a different weapon yesterday and it told me she couldnt carry any more. Does her shop inventory count towards her carrying capacity? I'll be out in the field with her and ask to buy something and she has a HUGE inventory of stuff. thanks.

title: Whats the difference between spinning skulls, stars, and birds when you get dizzy?

text: In Street Fighter you have either spinning skulls, stars or birds when you get dizzy. Is the animation random, does it rely on certain conditions which you get and are there any side effects? I have read the following explanations, but neither is "certain":   * It is totally random which animation you get   * The animation depends on the overflow of the stun points. e.g. Stun required 900, 900-910 = stars, 911-920 birds, 921-? skulls.   * The animation decide the severity of the stun (how hard it is to get out of stun by mashing buttons). Like: birds require less button pressing than skulls etc. I have tested this in training mode. I can confirm that the animations are random, because I have stunned Seth with only sweeps for exactly 900 stun points about 20 times in a row and the animations were random. But I do not know how to check for the stun severity in a similar objective way.


title: Cavalry charge before or after infantry engages?

text: My army has about 70 Nord infantry, 5 archers, and 20 cavlary (including Companions). In battle, I usually find a hilltop or a tree, hold that position, and then wait for the enemy to come to me. Let's say I'm fighting Rhodoks... If I order my cavalry to charge **before** my infantry meets theirs, then the enemy battle line will break a little, and it stops their crossbowmen from firing, but my cavalry just get crushed by the mob. If I order my cavalry to charge **after** my infantry meets theirs, then they just ride their horses up to the melee and try to fight alongside my infantry. But their horses get in the way, they don't have the right weapons or armor for melee fighting, and they're just too expensive. I've also tried ordering my cavalry to follow me while I ride circles around the enemy, but they inevitably drift into the melee and die. It seems like cavalry are only good for mopping up the runners (assuming they didn't lose their horses or die during the main battle). Am I missing something here? I'd like to use a more complicated strategy, but nothing seems as effective as the Nord Steamroller.


title: Skylanders: how does the autosave work?

text: My son is playing "Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure" on an Xbox360. Now - I know the game is supposed to autosave each chapter and in some other particular occasions. However, he got to chapter 8, turned off the game and no saved game was there. I also tried playing a couple of chapters, turning the game off and had everything reset. Before crying foul, I am quite sure there's something wrong with what I do. But I don't really know what: I play normally for a couple of levels, then press `Play` and choose `Exit`. When I restart the Adventure mode, I only have one option, to start a new adventure. _How do you make the game save in Skylanders?_

I know the more DU's it costs to place physical and reflect beams affect their HP. Will longer/most costly buff beams give stronger effects? Or is it based on your own tower stats? Which would mean increasing your tower attack stat, would make the buff beam give a larger bonus to it's attack buff?

title: What's the Bow Weapon's enchantability?

text: The Minecraft Wiki Enchanting webpage lists a lot of mathmatical formulae and charts all designed to help us understand how enchanting works in Minecraft. I pretty much understand all of it. Here's an excerpt for clarity: > The first thing that Minecraft does is apply _two modifiers_ to the base > enchantment level. Each modifier is restricted to a certain range, with > numbers close to the middle of the range more common than those near the > ends. _The first modifier is based on the item's "enchantability,"_ which > depends on the material and the type of the item (see the table below). > Minecraft picks a number between 0 and the enchantability, then adds that > number plus one to the enchantment level. Which keys off of this formula: `modified enchantment level = enchantment level + Random(0, enchantability) + 1` However, since the new addition of Bow Enchants in patch 1.1 I've become slightly grey on the idea of the enchantibility of a Bow, the table on the website _does not_ give the enchantability for bows, however. Does anyone know it? Edit: To clarify, from John in a comment below: > Enchantability is a special property of an item. It is a special number that > helps choose which enchantment you get. So, he's asking what this special > number is for bows, he's not asking what enchantments you can give a bow, or > how high these enchantments go.

However, I'm still being given street crimes that I definitely remember solving.

I usually solved the cases with liberal application of bullets, if that makes any difference.

text: Related to my other question about street crimes in Free Play mode - how can I see my progress on street crimes for each desk? I couldn't see anything in the Free Play menu when I chose a desk, and the in-game statistics just show a total out of 40. I was wondering if there was a way to double-check that I was indeed being given the same street crimes a second times, rather than, say, a bug/other issue where my progress wasn't saved.

text: The "Deity" difficulty level of Civilization V says that "the AI receives heavy advantages". In Civ IV this meant that the AI started with more units, 2 settlers, etc. So my question is two-fold: a) what bonuses does a "deity" level AI get in terms of units and resource production (hammers+cultures+food+gold+science etc) b) any general suggestions as how to deal with the results of a? I know that you should generally try to expand as fast as possible and war with a neighbor sooner rather than later (before they can get a tech lead) to take advantage of their developed cities and remove their production.


title: What are the requirements for the Hot Shot feat of strength?

text: So, I got awarded the "Hot Shot" feat of strength and I would like to know what I have done to earn it. The only thing I can find about it is people saying you have to win all 5 placement matches and that this is the "qualification round" that the description refers to. For no type of league have I finished my placement matches 5-0, so that can't be the requirement. I played my last placement match roughly a week ago and all my placement matches have been pretty mediocre. With several days passed between the last placement matches and getting awarded the achievement, this connection seems unlikely altogether... So, what earns you this achievement?

Where are they, or where are other mobs drop the quest items? Also, it looks like those mobs have between 30k and 38k each, so I'm guessing I'm not going to be able to solo them, despite the quests not even being marked small group. Is this assumption correct?

If I were to add a file named "creeper5" will it play naturally, at random, just like all the other "creeper#" files? Or are only a certain range of files set to play? Also, if I add a sound file that wouldn't overwrite sounds files that already exist (such as someone narrating an intro, named "intro.ogg"), would I be able to play that sound in a command block?


title: How to make hold attacking nobody

text: I do not like the way DotA2 has implemented the hold function. I would like to have **stop** as a button to cancel attacks and spells but keep autoattacking activated. On the other hand i would like **hold** as a button to cancel attacks and spells and disable autoattacking (not even autoattacking while in range). So i want to combine both states of "Auto Attack", switching live while playing. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gArNe.png) The reasoning behind this is the fact that i need to spam a key to not attack with a ranged hero. Basically this would be the behavior Heroes of Newerth implemented. Is there a way to achieve this?

title: What should my target push time be during a 3 Rax Stim build?

text: When reading through this question, one part of tzenes' answer describing the 4Gate build caught my attention in particular: > This Attack should be at about 6:00 minutes into the game. > > More than likely your first attack will not come at the 6 minute mark, but > at the 7:30-8, and this is sort of the difference between a Silver/Bronze > player and a Diamond player, those 2 minutes; because if you can launch an > attack two minutes earlier, its likely he'll have half the army and won't be > able to handle you. So you're goal then becomes: getting that attack down to > the 6 minute mark. As a Terran player, I've been working on the 3 Rax Stim push for a while(and am still in Bronze league unfortunately, although it seems like that may change soon), but don't have a very good idea as to what sort of target time I should be trying for with my build. Having a target time as a goal seems like a good sort of guideline for fine-tuning my build and, hopefully, eventually steamrolling my Bronze comrades. So I'm curious: what target time should I be aiming for with my 3 Rax Stim timing push?


title: Does alerting a dog cause you to lose the no alerts 3,000 points bonus?

text: At the start of the Voice of the Hisomu section, the game introduces dogs with a section that's smaller than the dog's sniffing radius; the dog patrols the section so I'm really at a loss for how to get through cleanly. That doesn't mean I can't get through, but I'll alert the dog. Doing this however does not cause the 800 points "Detected!" penalty. Does it perhaps screw you out of the end-of-level no alerts bonus as well?

text: is it always more advantageous to flank an enemy? I am asking this because even thought sometimes my percentage to hit an enemy hit on like really in the face is 80% and yet i can miss it from like 2 spaces away (this happens in Classic mode). and its not an isolated case, I have been getting crappy hits with recurring high percentage to hit the alien like 80-93% even. do i really need to flank the alien to guarantee a hit?


title: What is a Dwarven Key used for?

text: A Longhorn Ram I killed in **Dredgehaunt Cliffs** dropped a **Dwarven Key**.

title: Which is more effective, AirStrike or Predator?

text: In Modern Warfare 3's survival mode, every time a juggernaut wave starts I get ready with a Predator missile. I find it very effective, just one Predator and the juggernaut is down. But then, I must admit I am not a pro in MW3. In fact, I am just a n00b. My friend and I got to wave 33 in Underground and 39 in Seatown. I know one guy who is a pro - he and his friend survived till wave 124 in underground (and uploaded a video to Youtube as well, to show off). He says that to reach the higher waves I must know how to use the AirStrike. I have tried using AirStrikes. I use them on enemies and they always survive so I don't get many kills. The same thing happens with Juggernauts. Predator missiles can kill many enemies and give you total control over the missile. Both Airstrike and Predator cost the same ($2500). So how is the Airstrike better than the Predator? One advantage I see is that you can use Airstrikes while running, but you can't move while using the Predator.

title: My Blizzard downloader is stuck

text: So I decided to pre-download Diablo 3 for the release date. My downloader is at 100% and has been for some time. Any idea's on how to unstick it? I tried running the now-complete installer.exe that was downloaded and it's telling me I cannot due to it being in use by another program (likely the downloader). I'm aware that closing the downloader and then reloading it to resume where it left off and finish whatever last second stuff it has to do is an option, but since its 'stuck' I'm worried something might go wrong. Any ideas on a fix?

title: What reduces my view distance deep down?

text: While cruising the bottom of a deep ravine, I found places where my view distance gets reduced in a manner similar to the Void Fog. Thing is, the bottom of the ravine is flat where that occurs. I just walk, seeing the walls lit with dozens of torches on multiple levels, and then as I enter certain area, my view gets shorter, distant torches dim, then it all gets cut off, I see only like thirty blocks ahead, the rest swallowed by darkness. Then a little way further the vision gradually returns to normal. There are two such places in that ravine and I didn't find anything like that elsewhere. This is fairly deep and I wouldn't be surprised to be affected by the Void Fog, but if I understand, the intensity of the Fog is directly proportional to your depth past certain threshold - and this seems as if I were entering some... hill of the fog? Also, there are no floating particles like in the deepest layers. So, what can cause that local reduction of view distance?

But I can't figure out what to do next. I seem to be blocked on both sides by firecracker "walls", and it told me I can't get through them until I find my red minions, but I don't seem to be able to summon red minions yet. What am I supposed to do next?


title: Not picking up dropped items

text: As I am mashing the mouse button over and over again, is there a way to make it that my character DOES NOT pick up an item during an important boss battle, or any other battle for that matter? I find it sometimes difficult that my character goes out of his way to pick up a cheap sword during a battle (if I accidentally click on it), only to turn around and be bashed in the face from the boss. I like the fact that gold is automatically picked up as you run over it, as opposed to the other 2 games, I also wish they did the same for other items.


title: Is it worth stashing items for twinks?

text: While playing with my main char I sometimes find some quite good items for my other chars but at higher levels, so I cannot use them immediately. Is it worth stashing them or should I just sell them in the AH and buy similar items once my twinks reach that level? I mean they should cost about the same amount of gold.

Is it possible to have both computers logged in at once? I know if I was playing a single player game, I could set Steam into offline mode, then resume the download on the other computer, but this won't work for multi player games.


title: Can we access the developer menus in Prison Architect?

text: In the Prison Architect new alpha release videos (as seen here for Alpha 18) there are a number of fun looking development tools that it would be nice to play with. Specifically, there is a spawn menu and a properties menu that allow you to modify game elements for testing. Hidden prisoner traits can be viewed and there are a number of other sneaky tools viewable in the videos. Are these features left in the code of the Steam releases? If so does anyone know how to access them?


title: What can/should you do if you buy a fake copy of a game?

text: I recently purchased a copy of Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride from a large retail corporation. It turns out that the game is a fake, as I cannot advance beyond the first scene of the game. This is part of the game's copy protection. I've contacted the store from which I bought the game and they are doing their best to right the wrong from their end by finding another copy for me. I was wondering: should one contact the game publisher or anyone about this? Since it is a DS game, I have looked at contacting Nintendo. They reference the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), which is a US-based trade association. I don't really know if contacting any group would help, but I'm eager to help prevent this from happening to anyone else. Does anyone have any experience with this?


title: How can I get a Vault 101 Children's Jumpsuit

text: I'm on a mission to collect as many unique items as I can. Why? I can't say, but probably some bizarre form of OCD. Anyway, in this hunt, using the lists provided at The Vault, there is the Vault 101 Children's Jumpsuit. How can I collect this as an adult player, seeing as it goes away after you turn into a teenager, and there don't seem to be any kids in Vault 101 upon your return? Note: I'm on an XBox 360, so anything involving the console won't work for me. However, for the sake of completeness, whoever gets here first with the console commands to do it for PC users, go for it. I just won't upvote (but I'm sure others will).

It seems like the probe is so fast that sending all the SCVs to kill the pylon/probe would slow down mineral gathering.


title: Can snow golems exist in Savanah?

text: I am in a savannah biome and have been working on starting a village. Recently, I tried to build snow golems for defenders. Once they are built, they immediately start to take damage and die soon after. I have read the Minecraft wiki and found the, short, list of biomes that snow golems can't survive. Given the list and information also posted in the biomes page of the wiki, I'm thinking that the article needs to be amended to say that snow golems can't exist in temperatures of 0.95 or greater. Can anybody confirm or simply clear up my confusion? Snow Golems - http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Snow_golem Biomes - http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Biome

text: I left the book Kodlak's Journal in my Breezehome, sitting top of the bedroom dresser upstairs. However, upon next inspection of the area after leaving and coming back, the journal was gone. I didn't think this would happen since a purchased home does not respawn items. Is it simply somewhere else in the house, and I need to search for it? An answer from this question by BoseBorre leads me to believe the journal has been moved to a random location somewhere inside. If this is not the case, what happened to the journal?


title: What is the type of Starcraft 2 games where you have a fixed amount of resources?

text: I am pretty new to StarCraft 2, and I was wondering if there is a name or a way to search for StarCraft 2 games that start you off with a certain amount of resources and you are unable to farm any more. I feel this would be more like the Warhammer 40k table top game, as it would basically be a pure micro game.

title: Minecraft FPS irregular in fullscreen, but reporting 35-45

text: How to reproduce:   1. Start the PC, and log in to Linux Mint 12 (although I'm pretty sure the same issue appeared on Ubuntu 11.10 as well)   2. Start Minecraft   3. Maximise the window   4. Have smooth experience at 35-45 FPS   5. Quit Minecraft   6. Start Minecraft again   7. Maximise the window At this point I'd expect Minecraft to behave in the same way as before, but there's an important difference: Most of the time (but _not_ all of the time) when starting Minecraft the second and subsequent times after logging in, even the title screen will be choppy, looking like a movie player dropping frames all the time. The tilted text on the main screen doesn't bounce smoothly, the background doesn't pan smoothly, and the game doesn't play smoothly. The last bit is the most puzzling: **It still reports 35-45 FPS** , but it's clearly not displaying at that rate. Also, it still seems as smooth as before if I restore the original window size. This "lag" doesn't happen every time I start Minecraft, so sometimes it's enough to just restart it a couple times, maximise, and see if the title screen is animating smoothly. The fact that Minecraft reports 35-45 FPS, I've got the latest ATI drivers (and saw this issue on earlier versions as well), and that I've had some complete hangs when maximising a lagging Minecraft window (only `AltGr`-`SysRq`-`R``E``I``S``U``B` worked, not even `Ctrl`-`Alt`-`F1`), leads me to believe that the window manager, X or graphics driver is to blame. Anyone having the same issue or tried-and-tested fixes? Hardware:   * ATI Technologies Inc Cayman PRO [AMD Radeon 6900 Series] with BIOS from 2010-11-24   * 6 GB RAM   * Intel Corporation Xeon 5500/Core i7 Software:   * Minecraft 1.0 through Snapshot 12w08a   * Catalyst 11.12   * GNOME Shell 3.2.1   * Linux Mint 12 x86_64 with all the updates On the same machine, when booted into Windows 7, I get over 100 FPS, and a completely smooth experience.

text: Let's say a large UFO is detected but I only have poorly equipped interceptors in the area. I have a Firestorm with plasma cannons in transfer, but it's going to take another few hours to get to that continent. Clicking "Scan for Activity" guarantees that I'm going to miss the UFO, but I'm also not a fan of either losing an interceptor just to show I did something with the UFO or sitting there staring at the clock waiting for hours to go by. Can I/how do I change how fast time goes by without clicking "Scan for Activity"?


title: No stairs to lower bomb spot?

text: It seems that in Couter Strike:Global Offensive on de_nuke there are no stairs in the outside area (head right from terrorist base) to the lower bomb spot. This was the case in CS 1.6 and seems to be the case in VODs from tournaments. I assume it just is not there and another version is played in tournaments, right? Or is there a button or trick to open/reveal the stairs?


title: Which items sold by Stew will net a profit when resold to Jani? And what determines when will Stew change the item he is currenty selling?

text: Stew is an NPC that sells items cheaply. However, he only sells one item at a time. Which items sold by Stew, will net a profit when resold to Jani (a merchant buying and selling at normal prices) (and assuming the player character is wearing the Wastelander or Crimson Elite armor, which both give a 5% discount on all cash purchases)? Stew regularly changes the item he is currenty selling. I also would like to know: What determines when will Stew change the item he is currently selling? ![Stew](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bOJ6y.jpg) The RAGE wiki already lists some of the items sold by Stew that will net a profit when resold to Jani, but I'd like to know about the rest as Stew regularly changes the items he is selling.


title: What is the most cost efficient way to increase storage on an Xbox 360?

text: Specifically, I want to buy a 360 but I also want to be able to download games from the marketplace. The cheapest console is 4gb, which won't be enough to hold even one premium game, so I'm curious if it's a better idea to spend the extra $100 to get the 250gb console or if it is cheaper to replace my hdd with a bigger one when I need to. Cost is not the only factor (a major one though). Are there other disadvantages to replacing the hard drive (such as loss of warranty? the reason I'm buying a new console is for the warranty, after all). Also, a valid answer could explain how I could use an external hard drive that I already own to store and play games purchased from the xbox live marketplace.


title: Nintendo (SNES, N64, etc.) Cartridge Revisions

text: I've got two copies of a couple of Nintendo games ( _Super Mario World_ for the SNES and _Super Mario 64_ for the N64). I want to sell the extra copy of each, but I don't know which one to keep since they are slightly different. With _Super Mario World_ , one has a model number of **SNS-MW-USA** while the other is **SNS-MW-USA-1**. The text label on the former also takes up the whole edge of the cartridge, while the text on the edge of the latter is shorter. With _Super Mario 64_ , one is labeled **NUS-NSME-USA** while the other is labeled **NUS-NSME-USA-1** and has a "Players Choice Million Seller" seal on the label.         Logic says that the ones with the **-1** suffix are newer revisions of the game with bug-fixes or whatever, but I don't know for sure. Can anyone tell me what the difference is and which is the better one to keep?         Thanks a lot. **Update** I just noticed a few more differences between the SNES cartridges. On the back, the **-1** one has _SNS-USA/CAN_ where the other one has just _SNS-USA_. Also, The older one has five notes/instructions/warnings (in English), while the newer one has only two in each of English and Spanish. The older one has a **20** stamped in black next to "Important" while the **-1** one has **27**. Finally, the **-1** one has an additional patent listed. (The N64 cartridges have identical backs.) I guess that the ones with a **-1** suffix are indeed newer. I still wonder if there is any change to the software itself. For example, I have seen walk-throughs and such that list tricks you can do using glitches, which I suspect may not be possible with a newer one.         These past two weeks, I played both games all the way through (to 100% completion) on the cartridges with the **-1** suffixes, so I hope I made the right choice (and don't have to beat myself up for losing the save-games).


title: How to pick the best support for your ADC?

text: Since I have babbled a wall of text I will start with my question, **Should a support champ be picked to cover an ADCs weaknesses or strengths?** Some examples would do just nicely, I have seen a chart that gives the best combos for support/ADC, couldn't find it myself. What I'm trying to do with this question is provide a sort of foundation for picking my support champion for an ADC champion or even vice versa what ADC should I go with certain support champions. I ask this because of the key role support plays, as games are won and lost in the hands of a support just as easily as they are with any role in LoL. Support plays such a big role early game for Bot Lane that overlooking the importance will cause you too fail repeatedly. I do my best to pick support champions (I prefer meta support champions) that I have done well with in a certain ADC/Support combo. I will mention one of my favorite combinations being Leona and Twitch. Twitch usually being a weaker ADC (atleast in my eyes) combined with the awsome power that is Leona allows me to feed him repeatedly, and not until yesterday did I find myself doubting my knowledge of the support roll. Lets just say I did awful, one of my worst games with Leona, the weird part being the mistakes I made weren't all that severe, mistakes like harassing to hard, causing us to lose the trade and be forced to tower hug till a jungler saves us. We basically just got outplayed and for some reason those are the hardest loses to swallow. Anyways, I started to think "why am I playing this support champion just because I have done well with this support/adc combo in the past". I started to do this a lot when playing League of Legends as I had recently watched a video about elo hell where the guy talked about the only thing that holds players back is their refusal to take blame for their own mistakes in a game and blame everything else. Having been consistanly stuck around 1000 elo last season with over 100 games played in ranked, I had lost all hope of ever getting anywhere close to 1250 or 1500 for that matter. Getting back on track now, I go back to my thought about support/ADC combos. I realized that I need to start picking support champions to play to an ADCs weakness and/or strength. An example I will mention is the Vayne/Nunu, which to me is probably the deadliest bot lane combination. Nunu having huge sustain and harass abilities allows vayne to lay back and CS all day and if engaged in a 2v2, Nunu gives an attack speed boost that makes Vayne tear through even the tankiest of supports. Not to mention Vayne being the strongest late game ADC in LoL, some people would debate Corki being the best late game (semantics really). Now to get to my question, I would like to start picking support champions that mesh well with an ADC. Support Champs that cover an ADCs weakness or plays to their strengths, or both. I think counterpicks bot lane to be a mere myth and really never decides the outcome of the game. I'm convinced ADC/Support combinations to be the real path to winning.

title: What determines non-plot mission goals/locations?

text: I've read that what rookies rank up into is random, and I know that there are specific plot-related missions. After I returned from a mission I saved the game. I then went through the process of the normal between-mission activities and then went to select my next mission. I was alerted of alien abductions in three countries   * China: Easy   * Brazil: Very Difficult   * Canada: Very Difficult I decided I didn't really like my options all that much and hit reload. I went through and made the same post-mission decisions/assignments/purchases as I had before and again went to select my next mission. I was presented the same three countries and difficulty levels as my options. I reloaded again. This time, I changed my post-mission actions. Even still, I was given the same three options for missions. Clearly, the next missions offered up are not completely random. So what, if anything, affects those choices? I'm not so much concerned with the difficulty levels like this question, but more the general mission parameters.

title: How to reduce/prevent the Wither effect?

text: So I found a Nether fortress, got in, found the two Blaze spawners, being hit by some Blaze fireballs, killing them and get some blaze rods and experience orbs, go wandering in the fortress, found some Nether Warts and got them, dug some Nether bricks, being shot by more blazes, killing them again, being shot by some skeletons, killing them and got some bones, and finally I saw two wither skeletons. I quickly hold `S` to stay away from them (they are chasing me), get my nice diamond sword ready and fight... They hit me fast and my health bar turned black and those nice hearts starts leaving me. I get affected by the wither effect! After some fight, I finally killed both of them and get the drops including a piece of stupid coal. My health is getting low (I am a coward, so I set mode to easy and I didn't die that fast) but it regenerates, thanks to my full hunger bar. * * * OK, end of bedtime story and let's get to the real question: Is there any factors that prevents the wither effect from affecting me or can I reduce the effect or make them stop faster? Any potions/armor/whatever? (The same should apply to the wither effect caused by Withers?)

title: How does "The Hunt is On!" work if Kha'Zix and Rengar are on both teams?

text: The answer to this question does a good job of detailing how the "The Hunt is On!" secondary quest interaction between Kha'Zix and Rengar works. However, after seeing this interaction for the first time, and then later playing a blind pick game, I started wondering: What happens if there is more than one Kha'Zix / Rengar pair in the game? This would only be possible in blind pick games, but you could potentially have Kha'Zix / Rengar vs Rengar / Kha'Zix. Does each pair get it's own secondary quest? Or is there just one secondary quest shared among all 4 champions?

However, nothing in CS:GO seems to suggest any sort of "percentage" of unboxing a StatTrak weapon. Is this a factor that is affected by the item quality that a gun gets? Is it a "set" flat percentage on all weapons in the crate? I haven't seen any official documentation listing the official percentage (however, a "Unusual" item is almost always a 1% chance). What are my chances of unboxing a StatTrak?


title: What difference is there between rescuing Lisa or waiting for the concert to finish?

text: After you regain control after you learn the stress Lisa has been going though your given a choice to go in a rescue Lisa or wait Since I saved before then I check both options: saving her leads to a battle with Price Taurus with just 3 party members, while waiting gives you 5, also, rescuing her has you see the Prince use one of Joker's Skulls while waiting as you learn that the entire park is rigged with bombs and King Leo appears. According to walkthroughs by waiting you can get Ero+ later on but I honestly want to rush in and save her. So I want to know, after I beat the Prince, is there any other changes to the story or does both options lead to the scene after the boss battle?


title: How do cymbals work in Rock Band?

text: I'm wondering how cymbals work in Rock Band. The drums that ship with the game only have four drum pads, and I know that you can buy a set of three cymbals, but do the songs actually distinguish between drums and cymbals, or is hitting (for example) the blue cymbal the same as hitting the blue drum pad? If they are the same, is there any point to having the cymbals?


title: Can't Reach Minecraft 1.6.2 Server

text: My friends and I have a computer we are using to host a minecraft server. It has wireless internet and is connected to a router which we portforwarded. We tested the ports using portforward.com's openpf checker and it says they are open. I also turned off window's firewall on the computer hosting the server. We can connect to it using the static ip of 192.168.X.XX but when we use the computer's internet ip nobody can reach it


title: Video stuttering when gaming

text: I have a very powerful gaming laptop, and I used to play all games just fine on ultra.   But now when I enter any games, it stutters, and its a really weird stutter (it's only the camera that stutters. The environment runs smooth, but when I move the camera it's stuttering big time.) The stutter appears in any game I play, even games that don't require any GPU or CPU. I have tried to switch my mouse to see if it's a mouse problem, but its doesn't appear to be. The stutter appears mostly in Skyrim, even at low settings) If there is any other information that is needed, please let me know. **PC specs**   CPU: Intel core i7 -3630QM   GPU: nvidia GeForce GTC 675M / 2GB GDDR5   RAM: 8GB


title: What exactly do the Market and other buildings increase?

text: The effect of Market is given as "+25% coin". Does that mean before or after the division of commerce into science, gold and culture? In other words, if I have a city bringing in 20 commerce, and the 'sliders' are set at 80% science and 20% gold, does adding a market affect only the gold (adding one gold) or the gold and the science (adding 4 science and one gold)? Likewise for Bank and the similar buildings.


title: What is a good (non legendary) crafting item to invest in?

text: So basically I have a ton (400+) of Inferno Essences, because I salvage every iLvl 61+ item with less than 1000 gold vendor price in hope for a Fiery Essence. Now I want to "invest" those crafting materials in items. I know I have to buy a recipe eventually, but which one? My goal is to either get something good for my Demon Hunter or sell those items. As Fiery Brimstones are rare and very expensive I wanted to go with rare items.


title: How can I view my purchased DLC for my game on Steam?

text: Is it possible to view all of my purchased DLC for a given game on Steam? I want to know which expansions I've already bought, and pulling up the game's DLC page lists all DLC without indicating which I have purchased, even when logged in. I don't want to go view each content's page to try and figure out if I have it or not, and I don't want to need to download the entire game to see what I have.


title: Minecraft crashing - Ubuntu 12.10

text: When I play Minecraft 1.4.2 on Ubuntu (with and without Optifine), after a while (about five minutes or so) it will crash the whole of Ubuntu, SSP and SMP (frozen interface, no responsiveness). I would say that it's a Minecraft error because 1.3.2 worked fine. I've tried Open JDK and official Java. The LWJGL is updated (as detailed here), which has been known in some cases to fix crashing issues. A second user with the same issue reports that it's not an overheating issue, because she keeps an eye on her system temp (Minecraft has been known to overheat laptop GPUs). **Update:** Via SSH, I was able to confirm that the computer is still responsive while kde is totally locked up. Killing java resulted in nothing but some extra fuzzy lines on my screen; killing kde removed the lines, oddly enough, but produced no improvement. Rebooting the machine provided no response on my terminal. I had to hit the power switch to get it back. This may, in my case, be related to the proprietary graphics driver fglrx?


title: How do you schedule play times with players in different countries?

text: I'm in India and I have some friends in the US. We met a few players from different countries online (Malaysia ... etc) and we want to setup an online game. The problem is how to find a good TIME to schedule our games. For example I'm usually free from around 6pm - 10pm (and sometimes from 7am - 8:30am) in my local time zone. The others would have their own preferred times. Is there any service or tool we could use to find the best or most optimal time slot that everyone could use? The current idea we're experimenting is converting our timezones to GMT - but does anyone have a better or EASIER way?


title: Migrating data to a new PS3

text: I have a PS3 Fat which I bought many years ago, and have since upgraded the hard disc to a new 250gb one. If I were to trade it in for a slim version, how would I go about moving all my save games, data and everything from one console to the other? As I know it, there are two options.   1. Buy a subscription to PSN+ and sync all my saves and stuff into   the cloud, and redownload it on the new one.   2. Go with how I upgraded my disc, create a backup onto an external and then restore it all. However with option 2 I lost most of my DLC and had to reinstall most of my games, and then go through and download and apply all the DLC again. So is there a foolproof way of migrating all my gear from one console onto a new one?


title: Do contract cards only work on one player?

text: Each player card on my Madden Ultimate Team has a limited number of games they can play on contract. I can get contract cards to increase the contract number, but is that card only usable one time on one player?


title: What items can you smartcast with?

text: It turns out you can't smartcast Hextech Gunblade's active ability after the Hecarim Patch. To clarify, you can set it to smartcast, but you'll still have to activate the ability, then click on a target, rather than activate the ability, and move your cursor over a target. Are there any items with active abilities that can no longer be smartcast? Or is this just a bug?


title: If I leave during the pick phase will I be penalized?

text: Today I just opened my console and used the disconnect command then left the game because my Team had picked 4 carries and it would surely be a loss. If I do this frequently, will I be penalized?


title: Where does the decoy run in Assassin's Creed 1?

text: In one of the later missions in Assassin's Creed 1, you are told to assassinate a dude. > This takes place during the Robert de Sable assassination mission, during > the funeral (thanks utkuerd!). When you reach your target, you discover that > it's not actually your target, but a decoy. After interrogating her, you let > her go, and she runs off.

Luckily for her, she lost me about halfway > through the city when I bumped into a soldier and went into combat mode. I > never found her again. **Where does the decoy run, and can the decoy be killed?**


title: Does targeting the bridge and engines of capital ships do anything?

text: In the space missions, some of the targetable points on the capital ships (destroyers and frigates) seem to include the bridge and other points on the hull that are shielded (blue when hit by blasters). Likewise, on the bottom of the space-station there is also a targetable point. Is there any point to shooting these? Does it disable the ship any more than by just killing turrets? Some of them (the bridge and bottom of the station at least) seem nearly indestructible, as I can throw perhaps a dozen missiles (not enough?) at them and nothing happens. * * * **Addition:** As there seem to be hidden bonus missions, what are they and what do you need to destroy? Do all of these "high-value" targets give their own bonus? Just one per mission?


title: Can you turn off the unit outline in C&C 4: Tiberian Twilight?

text: Is there any way to turn off the annoying outline color on your selected units? I'm enjoying the game so far, but the outline just looks like hell. I would prefer something like this: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/CKCMJ.jpg)


title: Can I keep my skinned dog out of danger?

text: In the Shivering Isles Expansion for Oblivion, you get a quest called Ushnar's Terror, as a reward you get his skinned dog. Is their a way to keep the dog and essentially trap it in your house so It can't get out and you can keep it?


title: What do the player trait acronyms mean in NFL Pro 2012?

text: I'd like to figure out what the player trait acronyms mean in NFL Pro 2012 for the iPad. I believe that this is a Madden game. Here are the traits for the wide receiver: CTH CAR AWR SPD ACC AGI I think that SPD means "speed" and ACC means "acceleration" but I have no idea what the other ones mean. Here are the traits for the safety: TAK MCV ZCV SPD ACC AGI I would love to find documentation which lists out the acronyms and explains what each one does. Even better would be a short strategy guide that explains what I should spend my player points on (e.g., given the choice between spending five points on my safety's TAK or SPD, which should I choose?).


title: Is there "optimized" screen aspect ratio in Dota 2?

text: In StarCraft 2 the aspect ratio of 16:9 gives a noticeable advantage over 16:10 because the visibility is always 'fixed' between the top and bottom frame of the screen. Therefore the wider the screen is, the more visibility the player has (and more units fit on the screen). Does similar limitation exists in Dota 2?   1. How exactly does aspect ratio affect the visibility?   2. Also, does the screen resolution affect the visibility or max camera distance?


title: How to get to Courcle from Filia in Mabinogi?

text: I'm coming from Filia so I can't tak the raft. I also have no bird, so I can't fly. What do I do?


title: How can I download an older version "minecraft_server.jar" for Minecraft?

text: I am a YouTuber and I'm thinking of making a modded series with my friend. I went to the Minecraft website to download v1.6.4 of the server, but they don't have it. So I then searched via Google and found McNostalgia and MVC (Minecraft Version Changer) but it only had v1.6.2 and below. How can I obtain the Minecraft server jar for an older version?


title: Re-doing a MVM mission on Mann Up mode

text: Let's say for example, that's I'm on my second tour of MVM for the Mecha Engine Tour. If I completed the first 2 missions for the tour, and I used 2 TOD tickets, and I play the first mission again, will I use up a TOD ticket if I play the mission on Mann Up?


title: Minecraft Will Not Launch

text: When I log in and click play, it goes to the loading screen of the game itself (where it says "mojang"), but then it crashes and goes straight back to the launcher. I am already running the latest Minecraft version. I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it and it does the same thing. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? I have played minecraft before and it worked fine, but I recently got it on a new computer and this is where I have the problems.


title: Can I get more aliens?

text: I just bought Ben 10 for PS2 last Saturday and I just finished it. The problem is that there are only 5 aliens. Heatblast, FourArms, XLR8, WildVine, and CannonBolt. I was wondering if you can more aliens. Like Diamond Head, WildMutt, GrayMatter, Upgrade, Ripjaws, Stink Fly or GhostFreak with the Halloween trio.


title: What are reagents for?

text: I'm playing a Sorcerer through the original official campaign and I've been picking up various items that seem initially worthless but look like they should have some uses: Dragon Blood, Special Holy Water, Firebeetle Belly, Skeleton Knuckle, and others. In a FAQ, I read they're reagents, but it didn't say how, when or where they can be used. I have just reached the second chapter and I'd rather keep spoilers to a minimum. Can I expect these items to become useful in this chapter, or only later? Will it be obvious when they become useful?


title: Service for finding players and planning online game sessions?

text: I would like a good list of services for planning online gaming sessions. So far I have not even found one good service for this. Best would be if it could integrate with social accounts out there like Facebook, Google Plus or Xbox Live and anything else alike. Especially I need this service for games not to often played online anymore. For example I only once seen another player in the Renegade Ops (XBox 360 version) online multiplayer lobby. That's really a shame as that game probably rocks 4 player co-op. Maybe we can create this list here? But any answer with a good service making is possible to reach out to other possible Renegade Ops players out there would be a good answer.


title: Is there a way to remove custom designs from the ground?

text: While I was half asleep, I had the brilliant idea to make some fancy roads with QR code paths and paste them on the ground. Now, being awake, I realized that I really messed up. After messing around a bit, I noticed that there was no visible way to remove them. Is there a way to remove them?


title: How can I use the Zeppelin mod in singleplayer Tekkit?

text: I've got Tekkit installed using the Technic Launcher. Is there an easy way to install the Zeppelin Mod? Edit: To clarify why I'm bothering to ask, when I installed it I got an IndustrialCraft 2 error, something about Forge or mod loader or something. The error vanishes too quickly for me to copy down though. It then simply exits Tekkit. Edit 2: I managed to install the mod! However upon right-clicking any of the Zeppelin items which have been placed, in order to activate the airship theoretically, the game crashes and the screen shows an error report for a flash, then turns completely white.


title: Does the Drop timer serve any in-game purpose?

text: Does the Drop timer that switches you between Sora and Riku serve any in game purpose? Additionally, when does the timer start and is there a way to prolong it?


title: Is there a way to quickly wake up all units of one type?

text: Let's say I have some swordsmen scattered about my kingdom, and I want to bring them all up to one point to take an enemy city. What's the fastest way to do this? I'm aware of th emilitary advisor screen, but I can only figure out how to see their location on the map - not very useful. In Civ III I seem to remember a way to "Wake All" units of a specific type.

title: How do I buy Team Fortress 2 items outside of the game?

text: In the last year, Valve implemented a way to buy in-game items in Steam. On this page you can see a link to buy keys on the right side, which links to here But going to that link gives an error: > One or more of the items requested are not for sale. How do you buy TF2 items (keys) on Steam and not in TF2?


title: How do you save the level-ups to Skylanders Giants figurines?

text: Started playing Skylanders Giants last night and leveled up to Level 3 on Tree Rex. However, when we switched to 1 player on the same story line instead of 2, and went back to the first world/level to get items we had missed, it dropped back to Level 1 instead of Level 3. Could have been because we switched out characters as well. Is there a way to hard save to the figurine what you have done with it? Haven't been able to find the controls to do so. It's a Wii Portal, if that makes a difference. Thanks!


title: What Effects do the Different Player Attributes Have on Gameplay?

text: When you start a new game of _NEO Scavenger_ , you get to pick which abilities you want your character to have. Each of them has a short description when hovered over, but none of them really tell you _exactly_ what they do in terms of gameplay. For example, I've noticed that 'Myopia' (description: near sighted-ness) reduces your chance to find look when scavenging an area, and I don't think it actually reduces your vision distance on the world map. Does anyone know what quantifiable effect each attribute - both positive and negative - has on the game? Here's a list of all of the attributes: ![Starting Screen Attributes](http://i.imgur.com/9AdYx.png)


title: What counts as beating a challenge in Binding of Isaac?

text: I've been trying to work through the challenges introduced in Wrath of the Lamb to unlock stuff in the Binding of Issac,but have noticed that I'm not winning the challenges after beating 'It Lives'.

title: Loaded up minecraft save game, and I'm inside rock?

text: I just loaded up my most recent save in Minecraft, and I appear to be underground, inside some rocks. I've seen this before a couple times (eg, the bug when exiting a cart), or when under falling sand. I'm quickly losing health, and in the couple of seconds that the game has been loaded, I haven't seen anything but the grey rock texture. I've tried jumping and moving to no avail. Is there a way to respawn without losing everything I'm carrying with me? Is there anything that I need to do to prevent this from happening again?


title: Where do I get the T7-01 droid companion?

text: I was wondering if there was anyways, except by forbidding every low quality weapons, to make sure that each dwarf will always pick up the weapons of highest quality available.


title: Character moving slowly without carry weight being exceeded.

text: I encountered a bug where my character moves slowly, as if i had exceeded the carry weight even though my maximum is not exceeded (or even close). I can still jump and fast travel, but cannot run. I am able to run for a step after jumping. Does somebody know how to solve this? I tried to reload the saved game, but this did not work. **UPDATE:** I am not in hardcore mode, i do not have crippled legs and there are no effects active.

title: How can I learn to tank as a post-Shattering Death Knight?

text: I'm planning on starting up a Death Knight with intent to be a tank, both for random dungeons levelling up and then with my group of friends at 85. _This question is asked post-Shattering, meaning currently the Death Knight tanking spec is Blood. I noticed the top Google searches for DK guides out there haven't been updated to account for the Shattering._ Short question: How do I tank? More detailed questions...   * What kind of talent decisions need to be made?   * How do I properly enter a fight?   * What sorts of ability rotations/priorities should I use?   * What procs do I look out for?   * What glyphs are useful?   * What are the differences between tanking lots of mobs and tanking just 1 boss?   * What tools can I use if things go wrong, like a ranged DPS pulls aggro or adds show up?   * What other questions _should_ I be asking?


title: How do bombs work in Bit.Trip Core?

title: How can I be effective with Krobelus the Death Prophet?

text: There seems to be a lot of consensus that Korbelus is a really good (high tier) unit to pick in Dota 2, but what makes her so good? All I know is she's rather tanky for an int hero, but other than that her skills seems to be so so, if she doesn't have her ult she can't solo any hero (and her only other contribution to a team fight at that point is a silence with a so-so radius), and if she does have her ult all they have to do is run away for a while.


title: Is the "Challenge Accepted" achievement broken?

title: Where can I find  items to Disenchant?

text: In Skyrim there are a number of Enchantments availble for you to enchant your weapons and armour with, which can be gained from disenchanting a weapon which already contained said enchantment. Most enchantments can be found on vendors, but depending on your luck, it might take needlessly long to find a certain enchantment, and I'm interested in other options. What I'm looking for is a more consistent method to get specific enchantments. Non-random enchanted items (like quest rewards) are a certain way to get it, but may not be available for all possible enchantments. What non-random, disenchantable items are available in Skyrim?


title: Can you still build the older buildings once you unlock the newer ones?

text: I'm playing sandbox mode in Tropico 4 with the modern times buildings enabled, and as time goes on I keep unlocking more of then. My questions is once I unlock a certain building, such as the solar power plant, can I still build the thing it replaces, such as the wind turbine?

title: When should I start #twoweaponing?

text: It has been mentioned to me several times that if I am playing a class that can #twoweapon, then I should most definitely #twoweapon. At some point. In the future. However, I am not entirely clear on when this "future" is. Should I wait until I reach Expert in one or more weapon skills or should I wait until I can comfortably kill nearly everything I encounter and have a substantial supply of food (and therefore farm some earlier levels for weapon experience)?

text: How can I win the Seacrest Tour event, or at least get bronze? I've tried this event many times, the best I've managed is 4th. I'd particularly like help on these specific points:   * Which car should I use? The Bugatti Veyron looks the best option from the stats, but should I try something else?   * How can I avoid crashing? I often fail to finish because I wreck my car.   * Should I be taking shortcuts? If so, which ones?   * In the Freeway sections, should I drive on the correct side of the road or try to earn boost by driving into oncoming traffic?


title: Does bonus critical damage on one weapon affect crits with the other weapon while dual-wielding?

Unfortunately, right now I'm like a child on Christmas and I really, really, really want to play with my new toy (ME3). If I just can't seem to hold off on starting ME3, can I still import my character from my unfinished ME2 game into ME3? If so, will my ME2 character level transfer over? Will I get some, if any, bonuses from transferring over my unfinished ME2 character?


title: Bloody Good Time: Passing on the infection

text: I bought Bloody Good Time over the weekend, and unusually, I had a few goes of the SP (i.e bots) game before having a crack at the MP game. In certain rounds, some players are infected with a virus, and they have to pass it on to a healthy player (and flee). As you are infected, you drain away your stars (score). There was no problem in the SP game, but when I graduated to playing on the internets, I found it can be difficult to pass on the infection to other players. In SP, a quick bump is sufficient, but it's a real pain in MP, multiple hits are usually required. Even when I do successfully pass on the infection, I'm not expecting it to, therefore I often hang around for a split second longer and get the infection back. 3 or 4 games on different servers, and results have been equally patchy - it's killing my scores! FYI: I have a respectable ADSL connection, and a relatively high-end PC, so I don't think it is a technical issue. Is there particular technique that I could use to increase the chances of passing on the infection? Does anyone else experience similar issues?


title: Does Mass Effect 3 require Origin?

text: I am not particularly trusting of EA's Origin platform, with some going so far as to call it spyware. I don't care _at this point_ about multiplayer in Mass Effect 3. I know that, more than likely, I will need Origin to play this game online, but I'm only interested in Single Player campaign at this time. Playing on a PC, is Origin required to install and/or play Mass Effect 3 from disk?


title: What is the most efficient way to begin gathering at the start of a game of Starcraft 2?

text: Is there any way to have workers spread out to all nearest crystal straight away at the start of a game?

title: How to beat level 31?

text: As a lifelong gamer I was amazed by the difficulty of Worms 2 Armageddon on the Android platform. After a long struggle I finally was able to finish level 30 which basically is the end of the campaign. I must say, I am a little proud at myself for this. However... With the gold coins earned you can buy 5 bonus campaign levels (31-35). So far it seems impossible to me to finish level 31. I even wonder what level 32-->35 will bring. I don't want to spoil anything about the level, but let me just say you are in a HUGE disadvantage when it comes to number of worms and health per worm. I tried digging myself in, grouping with enemies so I have a human shield (read: worm shield) and numerous of other tricks, but I can't even get close to winning. One time I got pretty close. Meaning I completed about 80 to 90 percent of the level, but in 100 tries or something, that was a one timer. So, does anyone have some nice tips/tactics?


title: Help reinstalling Skyrim on a different computer

text: I bought Skyrim and originally installed it on my sisters computer because mine was not present. I now have my computer back and I have been trying to install it again on this pc, but when I type in the product code, it says that it is already in use by a steam account and that I have to "retrieve account". So I retrieve my account, and it stops installing. I have looked everywhere for help, but I can't figure it out. Pleaseeee help!


title: Can I redo Netherverse Challenges after I complete them in story mode?

text: There are 18 skill points associated with the challenges and each challenge only shows up once in the game (as far as I have seen). I don't want to have to keep restarting the game to be able to try them again. Is there another way?

title: Would Ahri's Charm slow down Master Yi while he is using his ultimate?

text: What happens if Ahri used Charm on a Master Yi while he is using Highlander? > **Charm** (Active): Ahri will blow a kiss that travels in a line in front of > her. It will deal magic damage and charm the first enemy it encounters, > forcing them to walk harmlessly towards her, **while being slowed by 50% for > the duration**. > > **Highlander** (Active): Increases Master Yi's movement speed by 40% and > attack speed for a few seconds, **as well as making him immune to any slow > effects for the duration**. Additionally, killing a champion during the > duration will refresh all of Master Yi's ability cooldowns, while assists > will refresh them by half the base amount. Will Master Yi:   * Be charmed and walk slowly towards Ahri?   * Be charmed but not be slowed? I am wondering this because I am not sure if the Charm's "slowed by 50%" is part of the hard CC(which does affect Master Yi) or if it is a secondary effect that happens along with the hard CC(which Highlander can negate).
