title: Why do I now have 1 autosave in a mission instead of 3?

text: I am playing on Classic difficulty, and where I used to have three Autosaves for a mission, I now only have one (i.e. the same file is rewritten each turn, so I can't go back a turn). Did this setting get changed after a game update, or might this be a bug? I did some googling, but didn't find anything. (I have read about an issue where once you reach 100 saves, your saves are listed out of order, but this isn't the case, because the one autosave is at the top.) EDIT: To clarify, I am _not_ playing Ironman. The game autosaves at the beginning of each turn, and I can go back and reload that game. My problem is that there is only 1 autosave (which gets rewritten each turn), rather than the 3 autosaves that were previously being utilized (so that I could reload up to 3 turns prior). The reason I ask is because one autosave is not that useful in a mission; the game is saved at the beginning of my turn, right after one of my guys gets killed. With 2 or 3 autosaves, I can go back to the beginning of the previous turn, and hopefully avoid the doom.

text: I currently have an intersection of trains. 4 go parallel and 1 perpendicular. I would like to let the 4 parallel trains all go if they approach the intersection at the same time.

I added them as non- Steam games, hoping it'd recognize that these games were some of the same ones already in my library but no dice. Do I just have to uninstall them all?

title: What's the cheapest way to destroy a hostile laser tower?

text: In the treasure map quest, the player has to destroy a set of laser towers. The only problem is that they more powerful and longer range than my own lasers. Also the tenacious towers can apparently shoot down longer range missiles (I learned to my dismay), as well as possessing powerful shields. What's the best way to take these things out? My current plan is to save up for some exotic expensive long range laser or ammunition weapon but I'm not sure which one. My backup plan is to buy a huge warship and outgun them at close range using an array of expensive shields. Still, I'm not sure what's the most efficient way to spend money to overcome this obstacle. What's the cheapest way to take out a set of hostile laser towers with a range of, at least, 5km and fairly powerful shields?

title: Do I need to re-earn all the trophies to earn the platinum trophy from a new save game?

But then the tragedy came and I lost my PS3 due to an electric shock and of course, all my saved games with it. I was able to buy a new PS3, and start playing all over again. My question is, can I simply reach level 50 to obtain the platinum trophy, or do I have to obtain (or at least simulate obtaining) the rest of the trophies in order to gain the platinum?


title: Walking glitch in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

text: I recently tried to get back to playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning on my PS3 after a year-long break and I've run into a strange glitch (as I think of it now, it might have been a reason I stopped playing the game). Whenever I try to move my character he takes a couple of steps and just freezes mid-step, for as long, as I hold the stick forward. Only ways to keep moving are:   * change direction of the stick (not always works),   * use dodge to tumble forward,   * release the stick, and move it again. Please note it's not the question of the game lagging or freezing; it's only my character that stops moving. I'm also sure my controllers (both of them) work fine - I have no problems in any other game with proper functioning of left stick. I tried to do a search for possible solutions to this bug, but apart from finding some evidence of more people experiencing it, I had no luck. There were mentions of using a save from before the bug appeared, but it's not a solution, really. Has anyone run across something similar? Is there a solution to this, that would let me continue playing my current save?

title: Is there a technique to hand-to-hand fighting in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception?

text: From what I've been through so far, the hand-to-hand fights in _Uncharted 3_ seem to be pretty random and a lot of button mashing. It seems to be a lot of `☐` to punch, and the occasional `Δ` to counter, and sometimes randomly mashing `○` to struggle and throw. Is there a consistent technique to taking down enemies faster? I know that if you can sneak up on someone, you can take them down quickly. And occasionally, some of the fights seem scripted if you're close to an object that you will smash someone into. But for the normal fights, are there moves, or combinations of moves that you can do to take the enemy down quicker?

title: What is the fastest way to travel in Minecraft using non-standard means?

text: "Travel" meaning getting roughly 200 meters between two locations in the regular world. Includes time to prepare expendables and/or eat to get full (but not worrying about damage). I don't care how much time it takes to build infrastructure in any of this. "Non Standard" meaning, there _has_ to be a faster way than a boat or a minecart or even going to the nether. "Minecraft" meaning vanilla single player mode. "Fastest" meaning, m/s numbers please. Speculative answers such as usually given in these questions (i.e. like this one) are not what I'm looking for. Related sub questions might be: How far can you throw an ender pearl, and how long is it in the air (in seconds)? Are there ways to throw an ender pearl 200 meters? What speed can you get out of a well built EATS road (in m/s)? How fast (in m/s) is boat teleporting? minecart teleporting? Is there a way to use a TNT cannon that doesn't kill me half the time?


title: What term is used for same-screen multiplayer?

Examples of games that do this include Wii Tennis (co-operative or antagonistic) or Mortal Kombat (antagonistic). Is there a term to describe this same-screen multiplayer style?   * If there are different terms for co-operative versus antagonistic, please give both.   * Links to an Arqade tag, Wikipedia tag, http://www.co-optimus.com tag (I couldn't find one) would be helpful.   * If different terms are used by different platforms/developers, that's ok, too.

I find a number of blue/yellow hand crossbows now and again and I like the comparison to my current weapon. Is there a way to have it compare to the off hand weapon instead? Or the lesser of the two equipped weapons? Alternately would there be a serious disadvantage to putting my best weapon in my off hand and the lesser in the main slot?

title: Is it possible to complete Moonlit Grotto without using the teleporter in the midboss room?

text: I have played Oracle of Ages several times, and each time this has bothered me. In all of the dungeons in Oracle of Seasons, and I believe all of them in Oracle of Ages with the exception of Moonlit Grotto, I was able to finish the dungeon without using the red teleporter that appears in the midboss room after beating the midboss. However, it seemed to be necessary in order to complete Moonlit Grotto. Is possible to complete this dungeon without teleporting to the midboss room to the entrance of the dungeon? The problem I run into is that I need to get to the room east of the bumper on the second floor, as pictured here (star indicates where I want to go): ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/WzWti.png) To do so, I need the bumper to be pointing clockwise when I reach the midboss room. However, going to the midboss room from the west, the bumper sends me counterclockwise, so I can't get to the room with the boss key without using the teleporter to get to the room with the midboss and going south. Is possible to complete this dungeon without teleporting to the midboss room to the entrance of the dungeon?


title: How to play Shen Toplane vs. a Ranged AD / AP

text: I used the last week to intensely play Shen. I really like to play a tank which can contribute so much to the team (his Taunt and Ult are just awesome). I usually play him on Top lane where I face mostly Bruisers and Tanks. So when I play against them I sustain my lane, try to harass with my Q (Vorpal Blade) and farm. When they overextend, I try to punish it, but altogether I think Shen is not offensive enough to gank alone. So I prefer to gank my enemy when the jungler shows up. This works very well against melee champs like Xin Zhao, Shen or Nautilus. Now when I play against a ranged carry on top I really tend to fail. For example, I can't do anything versus a Teemo. All I can do is try to safely farm with my Q. If I try anything else, he goes for me, and I am not quite sure what I can do about it. I can't bring do burst damage to him since Shen has no burst. For example when I play Riven (my main char) versus Teemo (or another ranged carry) I wait for them to overextend a bit and then go in, do some real damage and go out. But with Shen this is just not possible. So any advice?

title: What are techniques to keep a lane frozen?

text: The answers to this question address **when** it is appropriate to freeze your lane but in practice I am struggling with the **how.** When I'm playing adc I find it hard to keep the lane in one place. If I want to push I will constantly auto attack the minions and throw in a few abilities and if I want my lane to be pushed I will only attack a minion to score the last hit. To keep the minion wave in one place I imagine I would have to exert the same amount of pressure on the lane as my lane opponents (a tricky balance to maintain). **So are there are techniques, tricks, or rules of thumb to keep in mind when freezing a lane?** The champions I play most bot lane are Miss Fortune and Ashe so tips specific to those champs would be much appreciated.


title: How can I get rid of the one time stutter in CS:GO?

text: When playing CS GO, I always have sound stutter combined with heavy FPS lag / short freezes after a while. The funny thing is, it only occurs once per match and mostly at round start. However, this is annoying and can lead to a quick death if any enemy is around. I have verified the integrity of my game files, I have made sure my drivers are up to date, but nothing seems to fix this. System:   * Win7 64bit   * AMD FX4300BE   * AMD HD7850   * 4GB Kingston RAM 1600 MHZ   * 512GB WD Green   * M5A78LM-USB3 Mainboard I also would like to note that I changed Mainboard and CPU 2 months ago and this was happening on my old build with the AMD 965 as well. My old sound chip was a Realtek while this one is actually a VIA sound chip. So I think it might be something else. Changing the games graphics options didn't do anything.

This would be quite invasive if the Watch_Dogs player wasn't expecting it:   * Does the Watch_Dogs player get a chance to confirm the interaction?   * Does the interaction only occur during certain side-missions, could it occur at any time, or is it a separate activity within Watch_Dogs?   * Does the interaction have to be unlocked somehow within the main Watch_Dogs game, or is it available from the first mission?

It seems these alerts only pop up when I break the chain, so I think it would be strange if they tell me that I could've gotten an XP bonus on further kills so I am leaning towards retroactively applied, but I thought I'd ask just to be sure.


title: How to best manage Protoss Observers in StarCraft 2?

text: In THIS question you guys answered how I can best locate/manage probes, but I forgot to ask about observers. So I am making a new question since the last one was already answered. Normally when I make a bunch of observers I can put them into a hot-key so that I don't lose them. But there are times that I forget to assign a hot-key, and I also set the observer to follow one of my units. While i'm busy with something else at another part of the map, the unit i made the observer follow may have gotten killed in action, leaving the observer wandering around. Later, I get into a stiuation that I really need an observer, pronto, knowing that I have some scattered around the map. Is there a way I can manage observers so that I can locate them quickly when needed? Because right now i'm left scrolling around the map looking for one that I can use.

title: Xbox 360 Wireless Headset connection issue

text: For some reason, my Xbox 360 wireless headset keeps disconnecting and reconnecting itself at very random moments. My headsets battery is full and I am in a direct visual to my Xbox within a short distance away. I have even bought a second wireless headset to test out and it still has the same issue. I know that other people have had this issue because I have seen it on different forums (Example) but I was wondering if anyone has maybe found a solution for it yet?


title: How does character progression work in Dungeon Defenders?

text: When leveling up in Dungeon Defenders, you're given skill points that you can put in various areas of character development, including personal stats, personal skills, and tower stats. I have a few questions regarding this system.   * Can you get these points back and redistribute them elsewhere?   * Is there a maximum amount that each option can be progressed?   * If there is a max per skill, does that mean that at the level cap (70), you have every skill maxed? Or is there still the potential for different builds at the level cap?


title: Changing Origin Id & Battlefield

text: If you change your origin Id, does your battlefield profile,level,guns etc remain intact?


title: Does Pure of Voice occur before or after Save Yourselves?

text: The Guardian skill Save Yourselves is a shout which (among other things) transfers conditions from allies onto yourself. The Guardian trait Pure of Voice causes all allies who are affected by a shout to convert a condition into a boon. Let's say a Guardian is surrounded by five allies, each with one condition, and the Guardian uses Save Yourselves. Does each ally have their condition turned into a boon, or do all of the conditions get transferred to the Guardian and turn into only one boon?


title: Why are there PC players playing in PS3 matches?

text: I don't know if this is a bug or not but I can prove what I'm saying. In some PS3 match summaries on **Battlelog** there are also stats from PC players. See here for an example match http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/35341990/4/352764909/ Click the player name **LOWREDCOBAIN** on top and on that profile it mentioned as a PC player and the stats are all gone. This is not only for this particular match, there are several other matches emphasizes the same conclusion. I read this question, but these match summaries gave me the doubt. Other match summery example:   * http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/35515982/4/352764909/   * http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/35548079/4/352764909/   * http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/35550440/4/352764909/


title: How are coins distributed?

text: In DrawSomething, when either you or your opponent guess a drawing correctly, you get shown a screen that says "Drawsome!" and then both of your avatars, along with the number of coins that drawing was worth.

title: Is there any reason to save credits in mulitplayer rather than blowing them immediately on packs?

text: According to this question, if I'm going to buy packs, I should purchase Veteran packs first and Spectre packs afterwards, and that's what I've been doing: as soon as I hit 20,000 credits, I blow it all on a Veteran pack. Should I be doing this? Is there somewhere else that I can spend money that I haven't found yet (such as extra medi-gel or something), or **is buying packs the only thing that credits are good for in multiplayer?**


title: Awarded level 10 blacksmith achievement but I didn't raise it?

text: I just got the level 10 achievement for my blacksmith while I was playing on my HC character, on Rakkis Crossing.

The other guy who was with me also got these achievements (level 10 bs plus "all artisan achievements" achievement).


title: How can I use a 'plastic sled'?

text: I just found an plastic sled in NEO Scavenger. It's been a while since I've played it, and the developer has been adding shit like crazy, so this is an object I haven't seen before. On closer inspection it appears to be a 'container' item, which means you can use it to carry other items. I can't put it in my hands though, or use it in any way right now. I can't even take it with me since I'm unable to cary it. Do I need to find a rope or something first? ![plastic sled](http://i.stack.imgur.com/5Sqoq.jpg)

title: How can I determine if an NPC is available for marriage?

text: In the vein of Are inter-racial marriages frowned upon? - Pete Hines, Bethesda's VP of PR and Marketing, when asked if Skyrim would support gay marriage said the following: > You can marry anyone...Not any NPC, just mean any male or female. So obviously some NPCs are off the list. I assume I can't marry Jarl Balgruuf, but what about Irileth? What about the Graybeards? What about already-married NPCs? Is it any "important" NPC, or is it more or less than that? Has the Skyrim Creation Kit shed any light on how to determine this?

title: What was Hades doing by the time Atlas was destroying the Pillar of the World?

text: In GoW Chains of Olympus, when the Fire Steeds approach the realm of Hades they disappear and it's said that those being of light weren't welcome in that place. So (I believe) Helios' power have no influence over the realm of Hades, which means (if I'm correct) that the god Hades wouldn't be affected by the deep slumber caused by Helios' absence that affected the other gods. It's also said that Kratos could see the bright of Helios at great distance, when in the depths of Hades. And that makes me think that Hades was aware that Atlas was release but he didn't do anything about it. Why didn't Hades help to stop Atlas, considering that the destruction of the World was not his desire (because he had no reason for that)? Please, **I'm looking for sourced answers**.


title: Time Requirement for Meteors?

text: I started a new world solely for the purpose of spawning and mining a meteorite. I smashed a shadow orb and waited through the whole night and one never fell. I've done this twice already and the only reason I wanted to do it on a new world was because if I smash another orb, I'm going to spawn an Eater of Worlds on my other world... Do I have to wait a set number of days before the meteor will spawn? And if I smash the orb on my first world and the eater kills me, will the meteorite still fall?

I've started the Grandmaopocalypse event and am popping wrinklers but I'm not getting any of the Halloween cookies. I've popped 122 now- since there's supposed to be a 1/20 chance I should have got something by now, right? The odds of not getting a single one by this point are <1/1000 Am I just unlucky or has something changed?

Just before the boss there is a Red Specter, he carries a lance of a sort, that was extremely annoying, but very cool! It does a series of stabbing/lounge-like attacks that are very hard to dodge. What weapon is it? And is it available in-game? It may have been NG++, I burned a bonfire ascetic in the area on NG, but I am guessing he spawns at NG+.

title: Is there a way to shoot a ranged weapon consistently without moving my feet?

text: I switched to using a bow, and now I find myself constantly running to a few steps away from enemies before shooting them in the face. At my current level it isn't a big deal since I can still tank most of them, but as I face tougher enemies they are often dealing some painful blows. I try to just stand at range and fire, but soon my toon is running back into the fray because I accidentally missed when attempting to click an enemy. Is there a solution to this problem?

title: Who benefits from Squad Bonus?

text: One of my squad members have Arms Master and with the way Squad Bonus(Rank 6 Arms Master) is displaying the bonus I'm wondering who it affects. ![Squad member Squad Bonus](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MBcjR.jpg) The wording and the way it is displayed on Shepards squad bonus abilitys(no green bar to indicate an improvement) made me think it was other members of the party that benefits from the ability. ![Shepard Squad Bonus](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KO2hM.jpg) But with the way it is displayed on squad members ability it looks like the squad member benefits from it when it is its own ability. So who benefits from Squad Bonus abilities? Is it all members of the party, only others than the one with the ability, only the two squad members(not Shepard) or some other combination?


title: Does reputation or morality matter for my allies or squad mates?

text: Throughout the course of the game, you end up allying yourself with various members of the Mass Effect 3 cast. **Does the act of allying with a specific character change my own morality or reputation?** That is, do certain characters have an inherent morality and, if so, does associating with those characters sway my morality the appropriate direction? In the same vein, does working with specific characters raise or lower my own reputation? To put it in high school terms, if Shep hangs out with the popular and/or rebellious crowd, does it make him more popular and/or rebellious?

title: Can I get a PAL physical copy of Ragnarok Odyssey?

text: Ragnarok Odyssey is about 1.5 GB to download, I've been looking for a physical copy of it but everywhere I look they point out that it's a NTSC copy, while I normally wouldn't mind since the Vita is Region Free, DLC isn't and PSN accounts are tied to the memory card. So I'm wondering if Ragnarok Odyssey was released in PAL as a physical copy, I know it's been released as a physical copy in the US, but some games released in the US as physical copies were then released in PAL as download only (Shin Megami Tensei Persona, for example).


title: Enable stereoscopic 3D

text: When I play Pokémon Y, I've noticed that the game disables stereoscopic 3D when not in combat; i.e. the green 3D LED is off and moving the 3D slider doesn't do anything. Looking at the settings, I can see options to set the text speed (slow, normal, fast), but I can't find anything related to stereoscopy. Is it possible to enable the feature outside of combat, and how?


title: Are my walls too thin to keep creepers from arming?

text: Some of my friends and I are building a wall to encompass the entirety of our house and farms, but creepers tend to explode and flood us with zombies in the night, because the walls are made of cobblestone fence (cobblestone wall). I am wondering if they are blowing up because cobblestone walls are slightly thinner than regular blocks (I believe they are still thick enough to prevent coming within 'arming' range of creepers, but I may be wrong), or is it because we are standing on top of the walls and the creepers jump up to us? _**Question:_** Can creepers get close enough to "arm" (start hissing), even if they are on the other side of Cobblestone Wall blocks? The reason this might be possible is because doors and glass panes are too thin, but cobblestone walls might be thick enough. > W = CobbleStone Wall   >  I = Iron Bars   >  H = Wooden Doors   >  O = Log > > FRONT VIEW - DOOR SECTION > > I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I   >  O W W W O W H W O   >  O W W W O W H W O   > > > The walls are 2 Cobblestone Walls high, but then have Iron Bars on top of > them.

title: Where are the songs "Daring Escape" and "Mach Running" used in Canabalt?

text: I've purchased Canabalt multiple times for multiple platforms. Most recently, I purchased it as part of the Humble Bundle for Android #2, which included the soundtrack. I downloaded the soundtrack, and unzipped it, to find it contained MP3 files for 3 songs:   * RUN!   * Daring Escape   * Mach Runner Now, the song _RUN!_ is very familiar. It's the song playing in the background every single time I play Canabalt. But the other two songs - _Daring Escape_ and _Mach Running_ - are new to me. I've played Canabalt long enough to run over 13,000 meters, and I've only ever heard _RUN!_ So I'm curious, **where are the other 2 songs used in the game**? If you eventually run far enough will the music change? Or are they used elsewhere? Or were they perhaps written for the game and not used?


title: How should I improve my Demonhunter after the patch 1.0.3?

text: I play a Demonhunter in Diablo 3 and I am stuck. Nothing has changed in the difficulty regarding the Demonhunter. I can survive 1 hit from "normal" monsters but Elites and Bosses usually still kill me with one hit. The problem is that I am not allowed to die that often. Dying about 5-6 times costs 19k and each "run" brings me about 50k. So if I have a good run I can make about 20-30k. But if there are some nasty Elites even 10k is good. I dropped from feeling comfortable in Act II to feeling comfortable in Act I. This is ridiculous. I actually do not improve. I play and play and my items stay the same, even my money does not increase. I tried different alternatives like making my char more tanky or dealing more basic damage instead of relying on criticals, but then I cannot kill the Elites as they still deal huge damage and I do not want to kite them like 10 minutes. I think Diablo is not a MMORPG and I do not want to grind and hope for some really lucky item drop. I mean I get about 10 rares per hour and usually these are really crappy. So how can I improve my Demonhunter? What should I actually do like what quests etc.? I want to see some real progress. Otherwise this game is not for me anymore.

title: Is there a way to force a sync between Facebook and your mobile device?

text: I play on both my desktop, through Facebook, and on the Android Candy Crush Saga app. The app is linked to my Facebook account. Occasionally the two accounts stop synchronizing for a while, up to a few days. During this time, levels unlocked on one platform will not be unlocked on the other. Once the two platforms manage to synch back up, any unlocked levels become available on both platforms. However, now I'm at the point where I need 3 tickets to unlock the next level on my phone, but am 1 level shy of that point on Facebook. I've gotten 3 friends to provide tickets, but only two show up on my phone. All three show up as having provided tickets to level 156 on Facebook, but I can't proceed because it isn't giving me credit for having completed level 155. Is there a way to force the two platforms to synch up? Rebooting my phone or pressing the synch button within the phone app do not fix this.

title: Can you dodge the "version mismatch" bug in Civilization V?

text: Recently, an upgrade has been made for Civilization 5, that makes it impossible for Macs and PCs to play together, due to "version mismatch" (the update was for Windows only) This have happened before, and there have been weeks before a proper fix arrived. As far as I can tell, its simply a string comparison between the version numbers of the clients that resolve this. Is it possible to work around this in any way? Some mean hack or opening file X with a text editor and do some magic? We have a meeting this weekend to play the new expansion, and we are five macs and three PCs... It would be sad if we were unable to play together all of us.

title: What is the optimal approach to hacking?

text: Success at the hacking minigame in EVE is mostly a stat check - if you've brought enough virus strength and coherence for the particular difficulty level, you get the loot 90% of the time, a bit less and you lose it half the time, farther and you'll rarely open anything. There is a bit of strategy, which seems be limited to near - absolute rules learned very early on: prime examples being "kill buffing nodes immediately", "open edge nodes first", "don't use data caches unless you're out of options". I've been exploring in sovnull for a while, and I think I'm seeing some patterns to how nodes spawn relative to each other or the terrain - for example the system core is almost always in an edge node. However, I'm doubtful that most of those patterns really exist, and I've struggled to develop any strategy beyond the obvious things I've discovered in my first attempts. Is there any harder-to-see algorithm to approach the minigame with, or is it simply something that's easy to master and without any hidden complexity to it?

If they do hear it how can you strategize a large force of multiple platoons/squads securely?

title: How do you progress past level 31? Do you have to solve the cipher?

text: In the new iOS game "Hundreds", once you finish each board, you can advance to the next, either by hitting "next board" or by selecting it from the level select screen. Except when I hit next board on level 31, it takes me... back to level 31. I'd think it was a glitch, except that the game contains ciphers, and other mysterious artifacts that lead me to believe that there's just a puzzle I need to solve. There IS a cipher opened on level 31 (which I have not solved), but what's confusing is that I did not have to solve the earlier ciphers to progress past those levels. If the answer does have to do with solving the cipher, please don't post its solution without using the cipher markup.

title: In Frontier Elite 2, which songs are part of the sound track?

text: So far I've found these which I believe are in the soundtrack (available music to choose from in the game):   * In the hall of the mountain king   * Blue danube waltz   * A night on the bare mountain   * Ride of the valkyries   * Hut of Baba Yaga   * Jupiter, the bringer of jollity (Not entirely sure about that last one) Which ones am I missing? The wikipedia article states that there are two custom pieces of music as well but I'm not sure if those have names or not. I'm not sure if it's different for the different platforms but if it makes any difference I'm looking for the soundtrack for the AMIGA version.


title: Do normal tears do increased damage with Chemical Peel?

text: The Chemical Peel item's text said "DMG UP" and it changed my tears to blood tears, but it didn't change the tear icon. Every so often, I shoot a normal tear. Do only the blood tears get the increased damage bonus?


title: What does Bloody Lust do?

text: I picked up an item called Bloody Lust, and the effect in the lower right-hand corner was "Rage!". Plus, I get this _totally rad_ headband. ![Sweet headband](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ef9Ra.png) I've tried getting hit and I've tried killing enemies, and once in a while, my damage will increase _significantly_ and I'll turn all red. ![High damage](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ShdsP.png) How does Bloody Lust work?

title: Which enemies count for the Right Where I Want You achievement?

text: The Demon Hunter class achievement _Right Where I Want You_ requires you to "Keep a boss snared using Caltrops for 40 consecutive seconds." Since The Butcher, Belial, Azmodan, and Diablo are all act bosses, they would obviously count, but what about the sub-bosses The Skeleton King, Maghda, Zoltun Kulle, Ghom, Siegebreaker Assault Beast, Cydaea, and/or Rakanoth? **Which enemies count as a _boss_ for this achievement?** Obviously once one person gets the achievement, they can't get it again except on another account with a different copy of the game. This problem is more an exercise of information gathering using outside sources and _friends_ or at the very least one good community wiki answer to which multiple users contribute. As a subsection of this question, which of the enemies that count towards this achievement would be the easiest to get this achievement against?


title: How to change my HUD?

text: I have seen some videos of people with HUDs that look a ton better then the default, so my question is how do I change my HUD in TF2?

I'm not sure I completely understand what his "Blood Well" is for. As far as I know once Aatrox gets to critical health he'll kneel down becoming invulnerable and then get temporary health (from the Blood Well). I know that the Blood Well has other purposes too though. So, Does Aatrox's Blood Well act similar to how mana would on a mage?

title: How do I build an effective rail network?

text: I have a few freight train stations in my city's industrial centers. They link to each other, and to other regions. However, despite being much closer, the stations are always ignored in favor of road links. Only industries right next to the tracks actually use them. The same thing happens with passenger stations. Instead of using trains to get around, people always just drive or take the bus, no matter how congested the roads are. Stations are always accompanied by bus stops and parking garages. I also have the Commuter Shuttle Service city ordinance. I have tried removing the road links, but rail use is still lower than expected - only 4% capacity for my most popular station. Obviously, I'm doing something wrong. How do I build an efficient, effective and worthwhile rail network?


title: Where do I get the Fart in a Jar?

text: There's an achievement called **Stay Classy Steelport** which reads as follows: `Kill 25 Gang Members each with 'the Penetrator' AND the Fart in a Jar.` I've had The Penetrator for a long time, but I've completed Act 2 and I've still seen no sign of the Fart in a Jar. Where do I find this weapon? Is it a mission reward? I haven't seen it as a weapon to purchase in Friendly Fire either.


title: Clothing store access in Pokémon X & Y

text: Once the player obtains access to Lumiose City for the first time, they'll be able to visit Boutique Couture from the city's Vernal Avenue (South fork, connecting from South Boulevard). Upon entering the store without performing any other actions, the player will be turned away and informed they "aren't stylish enough" and that they should visit more places in Lumiose City before visiting again. This description is dubious, and doesn't inform the player of what they need to accomplish to gain access. Specifically: Even **beating the game** (completing the Pokémon League) fails to allow access, as does modifying the player's look, visiting most shops in all areas of Lumiose City, and performing all hair stylist, PR studio, and associated actions. Completing a set of triple battles in Restaurant Le Wow _did_ set the event flag that allowed access in my copy of Y, but it is not clear if this is the only requirement for access. So other players may benefit, and so I know how to repeat this process if I obtain a copy of X or the future release of Z, what exact requirements yield access to this store for the first time?

title: Is there anything I can do about the poor quality of my PS2 games on a large TV?

text: Last year when I moved from being a highschool student to a full-time web developer, I found myself with a never before seen abundance of money. Of course the first thing I did was go out and purchase a 50" Plasma TV for my tiny room. I also bought an XBOX 360, having before this only being able to afford a PS2. The XBOX looks great (with a HDMI cable), but a couple of days ago I had an itch for playing through Final Fantasy X, XII and X-2. Unfortunately, the render quality on my new 50" TV doesn't look anywhere near as nice as it did on my old 65CM box TV that is now about 10 years old. I'm guessing this has something to do with stretching the game up so much. Is there anything I can do about this aside from buying an older/smaller TV?


title: How should I spend gold?

text: Is there any reason to save gold in _Diablo II_? With the fairly high percentage you appear to lose on death, should one just blow it all gambling as much as possible? What is there to do with it save resurrecting dead companions and repairing gear (which seems a pittance compared to what you can bank)?


title: Damage in Vagrant Story

text: In Square Enix's Vagrant Story there is a massive engine for crafting your own weapons out of components of current weapons, merging weapons, adding gems, etc etc. I never actually made use of this as it was too confusing and I figured that the game would supply me with _decent enough_ equipment to get through the game. After the first 3-4 hours of the game (where I deal an average of 50 damage) I find that all my equipment does 1 damage. The only way I've been able to make my way through the game (particularly boss fights) is to use two chains that will slowly develop the damage. This eventually got too frustrating because if I missed a chain, the boss would turn around and kill me in one strike. I started another game and actually tried to make use of the blacksmithy engine, but with no luck.. Am I missing something obvious or are your weapons meant to be this feeble beyond the first 10% of the game?


title: Why am I not receiving income every 20 minutes?

text: My automatic income has been spotty, at best. Having logged several hours of playtime, I've received income exactly twice. I've specifically tried the following, which seem to have no effect:   * Renovating banks   * Not renovating any banks   * Completing missions   * Returning to Animus Island / completing Desmond's memories   * Doing absolutely nothing for 20 minutes   * Visiting banks without money waiting for me   * Taking over Templar-controlled areas   * Inducing Templars to attack Dens I have the Steam version of the game and it is up to date as of 12/11. Are there others experiencing this problem? Are there any known workarounds?

title: Horde Mode - why am I unable to choose difficulty settings in a public match?

text: I noticed that difficulty settings are only present when setting up a private match. Why are there no difficulty settings on public matches like there are for Arcade Mode? As I do not have any mates who play Gears regularly, its going to be almost impossible to get the medal "For the Horde! - Complete all 50 waves of Horde on Casual, Normal, Hardcore, and Insane." as I won't be able to set up 'Private' matches.


title: How do I make a pulse generator in minecraft Xbox 360?

text: Previously, I tried hooking up a "rapid pulser" to some dispensers, but it failed miserably (never lasted for more than 2 or 3 seconds) so I decided to try out a 1 tick "repeater clock"hooked up to the pistons.![repeater clock](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3uDHK.jpg) However, this design needs to have a one tick pulse "injected" into the circuit first. Is there a way to create a circuit/device that outputs power for _one tick only_?


title: Do internal traderoutes drain your host city?

text: If I make an internal trade route within my empire, providing food or production to a distant city, does the provided food / production come from the host city? Or does the act of spending one of your limited trade routes in this way cause the material to poof out of thin air?


title: Is there a way to always view trade route paths?

text: Trade Routes in Brave New World show up as a border-colored path when you're first establishing them, but after you pick the destination and the caravans start to shuffle along their merry way, they vanish. Is there some way to always view active trade routes? I'm hoping that there's something similar to how they were demoed in the Trade Route preview.


title: What is the best counter to a Cynabal?

text: The cynabal is notoriously known for being a frigate killer. I personally favor Interceptors (Ares) and Assault Frigates (Ishkur) for PvP, so once a Cynabal shows up, I am dead. The chance for that ship to show up in low- or nullsec is quite high, therefore I always end up losing my ship very early. Because of that, I want to train into another ship that can prolong my ventures into those dangerous areas. Which ship class or specific ship which is also capable of solo pvp is the best counter to a cynabal? Of course BC can kill it, but I am looking for the smallest ship size possible to deal with it. _If possible please stick with Gallente or Minmatar Ships in your answer_

title: Effects of saving citizens in Assassin's Creed

text: I recall reading somewhere that saving citizens would somehow make your major assassinations easier, but saving all the citizens in Damascus didn't seem to do anything for me when I was running from the guards after performing the big kill.

title: Group fighting technique in Assassin's Creed

text: This refers to Assassin's Creed 1. I'm partway through the second mission, and I've been fighting multiple enemies by blocking, waiting for one of the enemies to start to move, and then counter-killing. Rinse and repeat. This is slow, but pretty foolproof. Is there a faster technique when dealing with several enemies? Also, are different tactics going to be required further down the road? I think The combat will get pretty boring if this is all I have to do for the rest of the missions.


title: Dragons Age: Origin mac version

text: How well does the Mac version of Dragons Age Origin work as compared to the PC version. I want to play it on a macbook pro with the minimum specs, so I am curious if it will function at a reasonable level.

title: Is there a way to remove the region lock on a 3DS and still connect to the nintendo store

text: I have an old DS Lite, and I want to get the _Etrian Odyssey_ series, but the 4th one only came out on 3DS, so I'm going to get a 3DS. But since the 3DS is region locked I was thinking of getting all the games from the same region so that I can play them all of the 3DS. However the copies of _Etrian Odyssey_ 2 and 3 I've found on Ebay are in the US, so I am wondering, Is there any way I can remove the region locking on a 3DS while still having the other features of the 3DS, such as the Nintendo Store? **NOTE:** the 3DS is an Australian brought one so it should be Australian

title: Where are good places to farm souls in Dark Souls?

At the moment I'm level 59. The dragon bridge isn't enough anymore, even with the update. Right now, I'm farming Valley of the Drakes. I kill 2 drakes per run, which gets me 2000 souls in 2 minutes. There has to be a better way. Are there any better places where I can soul farm?

title: Counter for sacred warrior 1V1

text: Here's the scenario: Huskarr with burning spear in auto cast rushes at me with his ulti. My HP reduces to half of what it was, with his damage constantly increasing with berserker's blood (and me attacking him back and reducing his HP) and my HP reducing because of the burning spear, I die. In some cases I am left with a two digit HP, after killing him but I die anyway because others would have caught me by then. Who is the best counter for sacred in 1v1 situations like this?

title: What are the "special items" Delvin is looking for?

text: In my travels across Skyrim, I've encountered a handful of items which possess _particular_ value. A Dwemer Puzzle Cube here, a Jeweled Candlestick there… normally such things are hard to find buyers for, but Delvin's always been there to take them off my hands. Unfortunately, he also plays his cards close to his chest and doesn't seem inclined to simply _ask_ for particular items, seeming to prefer I stumble across them naturally. _I_ , however, do _not_. I intend to be running this merry band of thieves soon and want a well-stocked trophy case. What, and where, are all the special items Delvin is seeking?


title: Is meeting people on the street the only way to make friends?

text: I want to meet more people/have more Miis in my 3DS Mii plaza. Is there another way (other than StreetPass) to meet new Miis? While StreetPass is fine, I don't meet people very often. I know the Wii has Friend Codes. Does the 3DS have anything similar?

title: Does Manamune consider its own bonus mana in its passive?

text: I was playing Urgot and one of my items was Manamune. At some point in the late game, I realized that my mana pool was about 3900 but Manamune was only providing 58 AD bonus (with full stacks). So, does Manamune make the AD calculation without its own mana bonus (1000 mana at full cap)? If it does not consider its own mana in the AD calculation, is it still worth it compared to an Infinity Edge (mathematical)?


title: Is the Retroblade Mount available to all characters?

text: I have recently purchased Wildstar and set up the 2 Step Account Authentication. Now I could grant my character the Retroblade Mount from the redeem window. **Is this mount only available to one character or to all characters once they reached Level 15 as in most other games?** ![wildstar screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/HMR9L.png)


title: Editing Team Names in Perfect Dark

text: I have a copy of _Perfect Dark_ (for N64), but the previous owner seems to have entered some juvenile, how shall I say, less than polite terms for the team names. As such, whenever a challenge is played, these family-unfriendly terms are displayed. I searched the game’s interface, but could not find anywhere in which team names could be modified. (I considered that the names were actually built-in considering the silly titles shown during the credits, but these terms are pretty vulgar and I highly doubt that they would have been allowed by Nintendo, even with a third-party game.) How can the team names be modified in _Perfect Dark_? (Hopefully they can be modified without having to clear the whole cartridge since I recently finished playing through it and would rather avoid wiping out my save progress.)


title: How do I pass the first wave on hard?

text: I was able to beat the Normal difficulty reasonably easy with a strategy similar to this: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bUrCr.png) Unfortunately, the Hard difficulty is considerably more difficult - in fact, I cannot even pass the first wave! I looked for a walk-through to give me some pointers, and I found this. This strategy seems to work in the video, but is woefully inadequate during my attempts. I'm not sure, but I think that there may be differences in versions of the game. If it does matter, I am playing the version here. What is a good strategy and layout to beat the first (and hopefully subsequent) waves on the Hard difficulty?

title: Is it faster to build a worker, followed by a settler, or the other way around?

text: In Civilization IV, both workers and settlers prevent your city's food store from increasing for as long as they are being built. Surplus food is funneled into the production of both units, speeding their creation. A common dilemma I have at the start of the game is deciding which one to build first. I'd like to get a settler out as quickly as possible, to start another city. But without any farms, surplus food is low, so it will take longer to complete. Alternatively, I could build a worker first, set it farming, then build my settler. Workers are significantly cheaper to produce than settlers. Perhaps the extra lead time to produce the worker would be offset by the accelerated production of the settler. But producing both the worker and the farm(s) takes time. In general, given that I ideally want a settler as quickly as possible, is it a better strategy to build the settler first, or the worker? Are there any other factors to consider?


title: Where is the L stone?

title: Should I be hit/expertise capped as a tank before going to raids?

text: On my protection warrior I'm getting to the status where all my gear are either from heroic instances or are crafted epics. I'd like to begin raiding, but I'm not sure how to gem/enchant/reforge for that. The options I can see:   * get hit and expertise (soft) capped then focus on survivability   * get hit and expertise to decent levels (with 1-2% miss/boss parry/boss dodge chance) then focus on survivability   * focus solely on survivability. In heroics I basically use the second option as I haven't reforged my gear yet. I have no problems threat-wise when the group is clever enough to give me 1 GCD worth of time before attacking. So my question is: does it worth to get hit/expertise capped in Cataclysm for raiding?

title: Where do gifts spawn in Eyeaduct?

text: Dual to the question for Mann Manor, where can gifts spawn in the 2011 Halloween map Eyeaduct? The couple I've found have just been in the middle while fighting for the point, never seen them "behind enemy lines" or the like. Apparently gifts can spawn in the underworld as well; are they different and do they only spawn when actually accessible (MONOCULUS is alive)?


title: What determines whether or not I become the Squad Leader of a given Squad?

text: Sometimes when playing Battlefield 3 I wish that I could force myself to become the squad leader/start a new squad in a given situation, so that people could spawn on me(as I understand it, you can only spawn on squad leaders...is this wrong?) and use my advantageous position(for example, when flanking the enemy). However, I still have absolutely no idea if it's even possible to "make" a new squad mid-battle and what determines whether or not I become a squad leader. Any idea what causes this to happen?

text: I am playing Minecraft 1.7.4 and just registered the full version of Bandicam. Everything was fine until I noticed my FPS had dropped from an average of 200 to never going above 60. I noticed Bandicam was still open so I switched it off and reset Minecraft but the FPS still averages 55 to 60 even on other worlds and servers. I also tried restarting my computer and opening the game but that didn't do anything. How can I fix this FPS problem?

title: Quake 2 network problem on localhost

text: In a bout of nostalgia I installed Quake 2 again a few weeks ago and started playing through it, one level at a time in the evenings. Yesterday thought a weird problem started. When I load my single-player game (or start a new one) the "network problem" icon keeps flashing in the upper left corner. And movement in the game has become very... imprecise. It's like I'm moving in tiny jumps, often incorrectly even. Playing is impossible. My system is Windows 7, and I haven't changed anything recently. Any ideas why this is happening? Rebooting doesn't help. Google doesn't help either.

text: Currently I'm using the "AER14 Prototype" and while it hits quite hard I'm wondering if there's anything better? I've also got the "All American" assault rifle but in single shot mode it feels quite weak. I've just picked up the "YCS/186" and while that seems to be very powerful I think the 1 shot, reload aspect will drive me mad. Can anyone tell me a good rifle for me to carry around? It can be an energy weapon or a normal gun as I've got skill points in both.

title: Fable III: How do you know if a rental property's decor is at it's best?

text: Is there any way to tell if improvements can be made to a rental property's decor, other than the amount of rent you collect, especially when you allow Jasper to choose the decor for you based on your current inventory? Is there some blip on the UI in map mode or on the sign that I'm missing? I believe Jasper says something like, "I can't imagine any way that the decor could be improved for this property" when he finishes a house well. Sometimes he says nothing though, so how do I really know what he did without having to inspect the property visually before and after? After all, the point is that he does it for you, if I'm going to have to look anyway...I might as well do it myself! When Jasper replaces stuff, you can sell the stuff he replaced right, it's swapped with the newer items in your inventory? (Though the new inventory screens are easy...it seems I can only see my inventory in the pawn shops...ugh...am I wrong here?) Lastly, can Jasper be trusted when you ask him to redecorate a property for a second time? For example, you go buy out the furniture store again with different items and then go to a property for a second go. Will Jasper replace the same items, or is he smart enough to keep from doing that?


title: MULEs vs Scanner Sweeps, best use for Command Center energy?

text: Obviously if I am supply blocked and in a pinch I would use the supply add-on but unless I screw up and become supply blocked I generally won't so I'll focus this question on MULE vs Scanner Sweep. I noticed that most people tend to say it's all about the MULE, however I tend to have a lot of success just saving up the energy for scouting as I've found that intel is EVERYTHING. Another great thing about the scanner sweep is for looking before you leap when moving in an army. To me it's just been better to save the energy for the scanning unless say I get harassed and lose some workers so I throw down a MULE to compensate. Thoughts?
