title: Can I miss puppies?

text: I'm going for the secret movie, and part of that is getting all of the puppies. I also have to go through and seal all the worlds. Is it possible, via general plot, or by sealing a specific world, to miss a set of puppies? **Basically, are any puppies missable?**


title: I'm hungry. How can I reliably find meat?

text: I've been playing for about 2 hours now and so far I've found a grand total of 2 pieces of meat by killing monsters. One was when I had the quest to find meat, and the other was when my friend had a quest to find meat. Do you have to kill certain types of monsters or with certain weapons for meat to drop? Does it only drop during that quest? How can I improve my odds of finding some?


title: The summoner under the College of Winterhold

text: How is it useful, because it summons enemies? Can it do anything else?


title: How viable is Taric as a Support in higher level of play in comparison to, say, Soraka?

text: My main support pick is Taric, and while I have not had much trouble with him so far, I wonder how good of a pick he is in high level play. It is not common to see Taric picked in pro-level games, most of the pro supports seem to go for Soraka, Janna or Sona instead. As such, what is the advantage those champions have over Taric?


title: How does sharing missions work?

text: The help files aren't very specific about this, but apparently you're supposed to be able to hit the 'share' button in your missions journal to give the quest you're currently on to party members. However, I was recently trying this with a duo partner, but it didn't actually seem to do anything. Nothing happened when hitting the button (other than the person hitting it got the 'SHARING MISSION: ' popups). It didn't matter if we were right next to each other, who was leader, if we had appropriate empty mission slots, if we then took the mission manually but were on different steps....basically this thing didn't seem to do anything. How do we actually get this working? Is there a restriction we were missing? What's it actually supposed to do?


title: How can I remove chat messages from a replay?

text: I want to upload a replay that contains offensive chat messages. How can I remove them?


title: In Star Trek : Birth of the Federation, why don't I gain science research from espionage?

text: I have been playing Birth of the Federation for years now (still hooked) but not once have I ever gained any science research points from science specific espionage. Is there a reason for this? Is it just me or is this actually a bug in the program (or designed this way)? If so what is the purpose of actually using up intelligence points on science espionage?? I have gone through the manual many times and it implies that you can gain science research from intelligence but I just don't see how.


title: Is it possible to achieve the "Unachievable" achievement in "The Stanley Parable"?

text: I know that according to the text it should be impossible, but global achievement statistics suggest otherwise. Is there a legitimate way to get this achievement? ![Unachievable](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3azI1.png)


title: How do you get the Lunatic achievement?

text: Ninjatown: Trees of Doom has one achievement that I can't quite figure out. ![Lunatic achievement](http://i.stack.imgur.com/SPHLd.png) I'm guessing this is somehow related to the moon that is shown in the background when it is nighttime, but whenever I see the moon it's a crescent, never any other phase. ![Crescent moon at night](http://i.stack.imgur.com/y8tde.png)


title: Will my Act 3 mercenary's damage benefit at all from having a weapon?

text: In Diablo 2, giving your mercenary a weapon will vastly increase their effectiveness. Giving my Act II mercenary a 3x socketed pole with Rubies or Topaz for example basically lets them 1-hit everything right up to Duriel. I've replaced said Pole-wielding mercenary with an Ice Act III mercenary. Reason being that Glacial Spike freezing 3+ enemies is obviously really effective. This mercenary seems to already do pretty nice damage, but they can still accept a weapon (I think a sword-type weapon and a shield). I've never seen this particular mercenary ever use a melee attack before (then again, I don't pay much attention). So, other than having properties that would affect magic damage, resistances or similar obvious benefits; does the weapon help the damage of my mercenary? Maybe it impacts the magic damage even though it would seem odd to do so?


title: Do Iron Golems get the benefits of Summon Resist and Golem Mastery without being resummoned?

text: This question is closely related to one of my previous but with a small twist. So I've learned that applying points to Skeleton Mastery or similar **will not** affect my current skeletons. This is fine, because they're cheap to resummon. I'm concerned about using decent items for my Iron Golem when taking the above into consideration. It seems flawed to me that the Iron Golem takes into account the same rules as the other Golems or Skeletons as it's a permanent summon (until killed). It could survive through me putting 10 points on Golem Mastery / Iron Golem / Summon Resist and still be the same strength this way, or rapidly become too inferior to survive as I progress because I can't increase its strength as I go. Is there any chance that the developers were aware of this and the Iron Golem does in fact become stronger as you place points into these skills?


title: How can I free the sasquatch on the Icewind Pass?

text: In _Kingdom Rush_ , one of the achievements is: > ### Like a Henderson > > Free the sasquatch on the Icewind Pass. When I load the map, I see the sasquatch and I can click on it, but the option to free him never seems to be enabled: ![Icewind Pass sasquatch](http://i.stack.imgur.com/kTFlx.png) How do I enable it so I can free him and complete the achievement?

text: I need to mine a couple thousand pure essence. What is the fastest route?


title: Do I need to level up my Charmander for battling?

text: I have a perfect IVs Charmander, with all moves I want. Do I need to EV train him to battle? Because all pokemon are automaticaly adjusted to 50 lv when battling.


title: Is the will cap in XCOM 150?

text: As the title says, is the will cap on XCOM 150? I have some 100+ will soldiers and the `psi armor` and `mind shield` combo gives a total of 50 will. In any instance the will of my soldiers never goes above 150. Does that mean getting multiple mind shield is useless as I only need to give it to my psi leader with `psi armor` and `mind shield`?


title: Does ion weapon damage stack with cloaking and teleporter cooldowns?

text: The teleporter and cloaking device use a similar "cooldown" period to the ion weapons lockdown. Do those two abilities stack? In particular, if a ship cloaks, can I ion the cloaking device during the cooldown period to prevent him from cloaking again?


title: How fast is "burst fire when zoomed"?

text: Fire rate has a huge effect on DPS for "spray" weapons like the SMG. I've found weapons that look great "on paper" but lack of burst fire makes them less effective than what I'm already carrying. Does "burst" imply a fixed multiplier I could apply to fire rate for a quick comparison?


title: Civ V Multiplayer - Change turn mode while in a game

text: Me and my friends are enjoying a game of Civilization V, but when everyone got affected in a war - everything started to go so slow. That's because I selected hybrid turn mode by an accident when creating the game, so we take sequential turns when in war. What I was wondering was if it was possible to change the turn mode to simultaneously when the game already has started. Thanks.

title: Do all my team need XP+ items when grinding or only the active members?

text: In star ocean 4 you can get XP+ items which boost the amount of XP from any battle, appently upto some high figure like 680%+; I understand how to get the items too boost my weapon, accessory and neck item however do I need to do this just for the team I have actively fighting, or everyone? Do I need 8 of each item + all their weapons, or just the 4 I use for fighting and then swap them out one by one (Swapping the accessory and neck items over)?

title: How can I disable Riddler's Proximity Mines?

text: In Batman: Arkham City, some Riddler trophies are found behind **_Riddler's Proximity Mines_**. When Batman gets close, they explode. These mines must be disabled in order to reach those trophies. I use _Detective Mode_ to discover if they are connected to any mechanism, but they seem not to be connected to any mechanism. How can I disable _Riddler's Proximity Mines_?


title: Creeper blew me into space (?). Can't see anything. How do I get back?

text: Creeper got the drop on me. I'm in space (I guess). All I can see are the sun, the stars and the moon. Single player survival mode. I can move, i.e., avatar makes walking motions, but the scenery doesn't change. I tried reloading several times and running the game from the website, with no effect.


title: Chapter 3, Mission 3 - Lost the ability to use scout drone

text: There are several side quests where you have to use the scout drone on your ship to scan underwater areas. On my ship I do not have the "scout drone" in my slot. I cannot buy this item either. What can I do?


title: How do I create a game after moving to the first office?

text: I moved to the new office, and there's no option to create a new game. I've hired 2 new staff and done the management course.


title: Minecraft command block logging

text: I had just updated my friend's minecraft server to the beta build of bukkit (1.4.6 R0.1). This restored all of the plugins that weren't available when it was vanilla. However, the internet (and its users) seem to hate me. Just after resolving most problems, I logged on. I keep on dying and dying and dying _continuously_. I narrowed the issue down to the Essentials `/kill` command. I used PluginManager to disable the command, and the dying stopped. Apparently someone put a command block on a clock, with the command set to `/kill werdnaminer` (me!). Is there a way to log the triggering of command blocks? I need a way to locate and disable that clock without messing up what contraptions others have created. **EDIT:** Looks like it was added in the 1.6 update! YAY! Thanks Mojang! (or was it Spigot or Bukkit?) ![Screenshot of server terminal](http://i.stack.imgur.com/EQpGY.png) **EDIT2:** Yup, it's Spigot. Boohoo.


title: What are the different awards I can get and how do I get them?

text: After a versus game, the players are awarded with awards based on things that happened during the game. What are all the different awards that you can get? How do I get each of them?


title: Which of the Doodle Jump themes have special play modes?

text: I have briefly played each of the different themes in Doodle Jump. I noticed when playing the World Cup theme that the gameplay is slightly different - instead of appearing randomly, monsters appear in groups, coloured like particular football teams. I didn't notice anything special for the other themes. Are there any differences to them besides the colouring?


title: How does the difficulty level affect the gameplay in Skyrim?

text: There are six difficulty settings in Skyrim:   1. Novice   2. Apprentice   3. Adept   4. Expert   5. Master    6. Legendary How do these affect the gameplay?


title: Why can't I gain XP when I play on a dedicated server?

text: I'd like to play on Dedicated Servers, because I can get into the game faster and they offer overall better response times, not to mention that I can choose whatever map or game type I like. But I have noticed, that if I play on them, I gain no experience and can't level up whatsoever.   This is not the case when I click "Play", which is the old peer-to-peer hosting style. What is the problem: Is this a feature or am I doing something wrong?


title: Are there any known songs for guitar hero?

text: I got Guitar Hero 5 and I'm in shock. There is like 4 songs that I know:   * Du Hast   * Ring of fire (one of the best songs, but that just shows the level of songs)   * Ex-Girlfriend (I don't like it, but the level of songs is very low)   * Nirvana's Teen Spirit Other songs are not for me and I don't care about them. There are some known bands, but they only have unknown songs. Is there some Guitar Hero with better song list? For example _No Doubt_ has a lot of good songs, but here there is only _Ex- Girlfriend_. I think everybody will agree that its not one of the best songs they have made. Does any other version of GH have better song selection? I'm not asking for Linkin Park or any other really known band, but just for songs that everybody will enjoy (including me, I'm more of pop person).


title: In Red Faction: Armageddon, I played Infestation coop and resumed later, the difficulty seemed to have dropped, why?

text: A friend and I played up to wave 10 on normal difficulty. By the time we'd hit wave 10, there were monsters everywhere and it was total chaos. We were having a great time. We continued playing today on wave 11, normal difficulty (this was pre- selected on the lobby screen) and for some reason it was a complete joke, there were barely any monsters and it wasn't fun at all. Any idea why the difficulty just completely went to zero after restarting?


title: Dark Souls PC FPS drops - can I fix that at all?

text: My configuration: Mac machine using Win 7 with Bootcamp, ATI Radeon HD 6490m display adapter. And the game runs horribly, compared to what I see for consoles. I tried different things, most notably installing catalyst control center and unchecking "Application Settings" for Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic filtering in attempt to wake up the video card and boost the performance (was reading in some forums that the video card is running in idle speeds, that is why the frame drops). No visible improvement of frame rate (especially Undead Burg, and other areas with fires, Blighttown is just awful). Do you know any tricks?


title: Do you have to use Xbox Live to save/track progress?

text: I have an Xbox in my living room, but all my computer devices are across the house. I don't have a wireless connection and can not get a physical cable long enough to reach Xbox. Is it possible to use the track progress feature on my new Zumba Rush game while offline?


title: Can I customize my controls exactly the way I want them?

text: I cannot play with the default controller layout at all. Having to press the left joystick to run is awful and none of the presets are any better. Is there really such a game in the year 2013 that doesn't let you program each button to the command you want?


title: Just cause 2 collectibles/destructibles increased visibility mod

text: I just saw a glitch that turned out to be a feature. The collectible items icons where visible from much farther that usual and the range of the minimap was larger. I liked it so much!, but it only happened for the military base I was at the moment...   I'm going for 100% completion and sometimes it's very boring to have to sweep an area on foot just to find a missing package/small destructible. Is there any mod that could make the life easier with this? I couldn't find anything at http://www.justcause2mods.com/


title: Is there anything to be found in the water?

text: The game seems to let you swim as deep as you want. Are there ever any items to be collected? Or any danger under the surface of the water (like sharks) ?


title: Cultures: What were the various games? What do the compilations contain?

text: I have the English-language version of the game Cultures, which I purchased some years ago. I have a few questions (which are all related):   * What are the other games in the series?   * Which games in the series use the original game engine from Cultures, and which use a different game engine? (E.g. Northland seems to use a different game engine.)   * What games do the various compilations include? I'm looking at purchasing the German version of the game, and I mostly want to focus on getting the original Cultures as well as any games in the series that share the same engine. (I didn't care as much for the later engine.)


title: Can't start the "go to war with another empire" mission

text: When you first get into the space stage in Spore, your homeworld has some missions for you to carry out. One of them, "It's time to go to war with another empire", often seems to be impossible to start. When you click it, you will be told that "it looks like it is not possible". This is despite the fact that I am not currently at war with any other empire, and I do have empires near my homeworld who dislike me. What factors determine whether this mission can be taken, and once you get the answer "it looks like it is not possible", is it impossible to start the mission from then on? Nothing I do seems to allow me to start it.


title: How much do coins help?

text: As mentioned in an another Q&A, in _Mario Kart 8_ coins help to increase your speed. However I'd like to take this a level deeper and ask: How much do they help? and in what manner? For example, suppose I have a base speed of `3.5`, what would my speed be at 10 coins? How much did each individual coin contribute? and did they all contribute equally, or was there a scaling pattern?                        ![](http://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/mario-kart-for-wii-u/thumb/4/4d/Kart1.jpg/460px-Kart1.jpg)


title: Restarting with new account

text: I downloaded Clash of Clans to my iPad (IOS7) this past weekend and started playing. Of course after a couple of hours I realised I made some newbie mistakes that are fatal to my future success. I wanted to restart, but it seems the only way to do so is to Reset the device, which I really would like to avoid. After some Googling I tried the option of logging out of Game Center, and logging in with a different AppleId. But, sadly, CoC re-launched back into the existing game. Is there any way I can start over? Or at least start a new game under a different account on the same device?


title: Where can I safely crash into signs?

text: When I crash into the start/finish sign on Mario Circuit, it makes the most entertaining noise and doesn't obstruct my movement (and can sometimes even block Red Shells). On which other courses can this happen?


title: How do you get past level World 3 level 4 in Braid?

text: I don't get it. I can't figure out how to beat the level.


title: What does the 'Secondary Use' key do?

text: I'm rebinding melee and skill power activation to keys closer to the WASD keys to make them more accessible. I was going to rebind Q, but by default it is set to "Secondary Use". The only use of that key in-game that I've noticed so far is that it allows you to shop with NPCs instead of just talking to them. **Are there any other uses for this key?** ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/l74iq.jpg)


title: Where is the camp store?

text: I've been regaled numerous times with talk of all the wonderful things that I can buy at the camp store, but I feel like I've explored pretty much the entire camp now, and I haven't located it. I've also looked at the map, and haven't seen anything that seems to indicate where it is. I'm sure its obvious, but where exactly is the store?


title: Minimizing the risk of losing save data when playing offline

text: I play several of my Steam games in Offline Mode on a regular occasion. However, none of the save data for these games is managed by the Steam Cloud. Now, I've been thinking about playing some Steam Cloud games offline (Payday 2, for example). What do I do to minimize save data loss, preferably avoid it entirely, and still play my games offline?


title: How can I identify Eridian/E-tech style weapons

text: I've found a few E-Tech weapons but my buddies and I weren't 100% sure how to identify them at a glance. The things I've noticed is that all the E-tech guns I've seen use more than one bullet, have multiple special effects listed, and have a specific reddish purple color. I'm thinking the color is the key but I've gotten other purple guns; not the same _shade_ of purple though. I wasn't sure if the shades indicate rarity (like shades of orange in Borderlands 1) or if that shade of reddish purple is specific to E-tech.


title: How can I get the computers to stop pestering me?

text: I enjoy playing domination matches on huge maps with 22 computers, the only part I don't like is being pestered every turn by a dozen requests. Whether its friendship requests, begging for gold or telling me I'm a war hungry monster. I want it all to stop, just go about on my war rampages. I know computers don't bother you when you make a multiplayer game, unfortunately you can't play with more than 12 players. At least, from what I could tell when creating one. **So is there anyway to block the computers from talking to me completely?**


title: How can I attack move my Yorick/Mordekaiser's ghost

text: I know that when I press `A` **my champ** does the attack move. If I press `R` or `alt`+click, I only move **my ghost** where my mouse is pointing. But in teamfights, when I want my ghost to attack an enemy, there are sometimes when I misclick the enemy, and the ghost only walks near that champ. Instead... Is there a way to attack move your ghost?


title: NEI will not stop acting like Recipe mode. Help!

text: I downloaded NEI for Minecraft 1.6.4. For some reason, it will not stop acting like Recipe mode! I don't mean "I cant change it," because I can. But no matter what I do, it seems stuck on Recipe Mode! I tried deleting and then changing the configs, I have tried absolutely everything I can think of. I just want to use the enchant thingy! Can anyone help?


title: How can I rename a Dwarf?

text: I can add, change and remove the nick names of my Dwarves (or any other playable and currently played race) easily; that's one of the functions of the unit screen. This visually replaces the first name of the Dwarf in this list and a few other places, but their _actual_ first name stays and is being used in places like combat reports and so on. I'd like to be able to rename the Dwarf in question instead, both first and last name (the last name so that I can have children inherit the last names of their parents, as strange as it may sound to a real Dwarf). I couldn't find anything in the game itself and the most commonly used DF admin tool - Dwarf Therapist - only allows changing in the nick name. Is there a way to do it? Ideally in-game, but using external programs is fine too, especially if I don't have to shut down the game to do so.


title: What is the difference between the different colored dungeon entrances?

text: Sometimes when you see a warp/dungeon area it is a blue light, sometimes it is an orange light. What is the significance (if any) to the colors? Also, are there any colors besides these two?


title: Can the ancients do lifeleech?

text: I have, on my barbarian, the ability Bloodthisrt (3% of damage converted to life) with the spell Call of the ancients. Do the hits made by the ancients restore some of my life or are the ancients damage not considered as my own?


title: What triggered the war between the Nephalem, resulting in the end of their species?

text: In the middle of Act 1, to get access to the sunken temple, you have to go in the field where the Nephalem, if I understand it well, killed each other until there was not enough to continue the race. Their ghosts were still fighting in that very field. But what triggered that "Civil war" of the Nephalem? What happened to make them start to kill each other to a point where their species just disappeared from Sanctuary?


title: Where to legally buy Diablo 3 soundtrack?

text: You can agree with me, Diablo 3 has an awesome soundtrack. I've searched iTunes to buy it as an album, but it's not on there. I've found some good rips on Youtube, but here's the thing, I want to encourage the artists and am looking for a way to buy Diablo 3 OST.


title: Follower bug: can't progress

text: I tried to post this question on Battle.net, but because I'm on PS3 I can't link my game and it won't let me. Thanks Blizzard. I've just unlocked Nightmare mode and started playing through on it. I got to the cathedral LV 3 where you meet the Templar, and freed him. He runs over to his belongings, but then just stands there. Doesn't matter if I have a follower already or not. So I can't get past the spikes to get through to the next bit of the quest. Tried restarting the game, quitting out, coming back with different / no followers, but to no avail. Can anyone help?

title: How do I complete Prince of Persia Retro (iPhone/iPad) level 2?

text: I am upset about Prince of Persia Retro level 2 ending. When I go all the way to the left of the exit door, there is a huge jump to the button to open the door. I've tried the following to solve it:   * I can make that jump with a run, no problem. But, to get back, there is no room to run.    * When I try to run, I can't make the jump and fall to death.    * When I carefully step to the ledge and jump without running, I don't have enough momentum and I fall to death.  I can't find a way to complete it. What to do?


title: Does the Barbarian's Frenzy speed bonus affect other skills?

text: Given that increasing your attack speed increases your DPS, do other skills take advantage of this higher DPS? I thought they did, but I noticed that the speed increase from the Frenzy skill doesn't affect the _Damage_ item shown in the character menu. So now I'm not sure. If I accumulate 5 Frenzy, and then perform a different special attack (e.g. _Hammer of the Ancients_ ), will it deal more damage than without the Frenzy?


title: What is the server command to change Mann Missions?

text: In TF2's new Mann Mode, each of the levels has at least 3 different missions that the team can play against. I assume the various **Missions** are different robot wave templates. Lately my wife and I have been running a Mann Mode server, but I can't seem to google how to switch to any other than the default normal Mann missions. I'm curious what is the server command to switch Mann mode missions? How does a server admin switch Mann vs Machine missions?


title: How can I hotkey an allied unit?

text: I want to be able to hotkey an allied unit, like a scouting worker, so I can instantly jump to it by double-tapping the hotkey. The usual `Ctrl` + `0`-`9` does not seem to work.


title: Perfect 180 turns and aiming

text: I've noticed when watching some films that some players are able to do instant and perfect 180 degree spins. For example, I come up from behind and start shooting and they instantly spin and are aiming right at me. Is there some kind of a mouse macro that they could be using for this? Is it just a result of the theater rendering the video incorrectly (I doubt this)? I can't even move that fast without worrying about accuracy. _Maybe_ if I turned the mouse sensitivity to max, but then I can't imagine aiming under normal conditions. On a similar note, I also often see players whose aim seems almost mechanical. Not that I think that they're using an aimbot (they sometimes miss), but when faced with several enemies they aim at one perfectly, shoot a few times then the aim immediately "jolts" to the next enemy. Is this just a lot of practice or are there tricks to being able to do this?


title: How do you do a melee attack in Just Cause 2?

text: There's achievements and all kinds of moaning about it on forums, but no-one actually says how you do the darn action itself. Is there a bizarre key combination to press? Do you need a melee weapon? Is there such a thing?


title: General strategy for limited steps Portal levels

text: One of the challenges in Portal was to try to complete certain levels while taking a minimum number of steps. Obviously this requires good use of portal placement, but I was never able to get anywhere close to the goals. I don't want a walkthrough for the specific levels, but could someone give some general techniques that you use to complete these type of challenges?


title: Do you have to kill the High Dragon after the Urn of Sacred Ashes quest?

text: So I've got my pinch of ashes, and I've got the "I'd like to meet an angry dragon now, please" horn. Having been grilled a couple of times now, I'm curious:   1. Do I have to kill the High Dragon?   2. If I opt not to do so, can I do it later, once I've found some Tier 10 Asbestos Underpants of Well-Placed Drainage?


title: In Just Cause 2, when does Autosaving occur?

text: When you die or load your game in Just Cause 2, you have to continue from the last autosave. But it's not quite clear what exactly causes the autosave to occur other than checkpoints and completing areas. Does autosaving occur after you clear part of a town, or can that progress be lost if you die?


title: How do I get an achievement for breaking the game?

text: Goat Simulator has an achievement called "Involuntary QA", where if the game crashes while you are playing it, you get an achievement. Twice while trying to pause the game and opening the Steam Console, my game crashed. I was pretty excited to get the rare game-crashing achievement, but when I checked to see if I had gotten it, both times the achievement failed to register. How badly do I need to break this game to get the achievement for breaking this game?


title: Are achievements available for PC version of LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga?

text: I am looking to find out if there are Xbox Live (or Games for Windows Live) achievements for the PC version of LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. Specifically, I'm interested in buying a copy of this game on Steam, but I can't find out if the achievements available for the XBox 360 version are also available for the PC version. Searching for this game on the Games for Windows website doesn't return any hit. Does this mean the achievements are not available?


title: Do Safes and Piggy Banks hold the same items?

text: It says in the Wiki that both the Piggy Bank and Safe can be used as an extension of storage, but having multiple of the same thing only accesses the same items. Question: Do Piggy Banks and Safes access the same 20 items? Or are the Safe's 20 items separate from the Piggy Bank's 20 items? (That is, will having both increase one's inventory by 20+20=40 slots, or only by 20 slots?)

This is what I see when I view the shortcut properties: ![Shortcut Properties](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rBYnk.png) **EDIT:** Here is a very informative chat conversation that should give you lots of more information about this that I can't be bothered to accurately record here.


title: Do you need the Farce mode to get the Storytime achievement?

text: I've just finished the final level for the first time, and enjoyed the game epilogue. Steam dutifully informs me: > Achievement progress: > > Storytime! (5/6) Uh... six? I've got my five sixths through level endings... what's the sixth piece? Do I need Farce to get it? I'm still 23k short of that :/


title: How to release 'Special Powers'?

text: In the game Wizardry Forsaken Land for PS2 I read in PeiPei's Journal about Special Powers and see the option in the item-menu. But if I try it, I get the message: 'You are lacking special powers'. What do I wrong? How can I release special powers?


title: Does Awareness (mastery) increase the XP gained from Sage (mastery)?

text: I would like to know if the mastery Awareness increases the exp bonus gained by the mastery Sage. Although the experience gained isn't exactly a game- changing difference, I'm still curious.


title: How close together should cities be built in Civ 5?

text: In Civ 4, it was easy to figure out how close to build cities to maximize my territory, because they number of tiles they could use were very limited. In Civ 5, cities can use many more tiles (more than they'll need until they're huge), so I'm wondering how close I should build my cities. Is building the maximum number of cities even a good strategy in Civ 5 (as it was in previous Civs), or should I build a few giant ones far apart? Probably related to this question: > Is there a limit to the number of tiles a city can use in Civ 5?


title: How can I keep a city-state allied with me without bankrupting myself?

text: I haven't gotten very far in Civ 5, but it seems impossible to keep city states friendly to me. Buying their favor seems too expensive, and gifting them units doesn't seem to improve relations very much. Some of the quests they give are easy (kill barbarians), but then eventually they seem to always give me one that's impractical (build a road to my capital, destroy my enemy) and relations peter out. Is there a way to keep them happy that I'm missing? Or is this just how the early game is supposed to go?


title: Borderlands: what's a Melee attack? Why? And how?

text: Is there a limit to the number of tiles a city can work? I've noticed that I can purchase and use tiles several spaces away from my city. How far can I go?


title: Why do people get dropped in Starcraft II?

text: Probably 3/4 games I play, someone drops from the game within 5-20 seconds of the game starting. Why does this happen? I understand that connectivity issues and client crashes probably account for those vanishing during load. I am referring to those players that seemingly choose to leave right after a game has started. Is it some kind of joke? Do people quit and play a new game if they aren't happy with their map position? Or, is there a techincal reason?

title: What is the secret to the burnt treasure map with the Polytron logo, the candle room, and the floating black monolith?

text: After lowering the water level, there is a anticube room beneath the first warp zone. In New Game+ first-person view mode, the Polytron logo shows on the floor. After following the treasure map (standing exactly in the hole of the logo, entering the tetromino code on the reverse side), a floating black monolith/obelisk/pillar appears.

title: Sweep quest for thieves guild in Skyrim

text: I'm wondering if I've run into a bug on the Xbox version of Skyrim. I have a sweep quest for Vex in the Thieves' Guild to clear Bolli's house in Riften of three valuables. I've scoured the house and only 2 high value items have appeared. I've gotten the items from the side table on the first floor and the item on the stand at the end of the bed upstairs. Not sure where #3 spawns. I've opened every searchable container in the house and no other high value item is present. Does this happen often or am I just missing something, like the other spawn point?


title: What is the effect of one point of block skill?

text: I have been unable to find the exact value of one point of blocking. The unofficial Elder Scrolls pages and other wikis do not list a value for blocking. As an example, for heavy armor one point adds 0.4% armor. The block value seems important because I want to find out how much fortify block to enchant on my stuff. the USEP lists the max block mitigation as 85% (if you are looking at this page) or 80% (if you are looking at this page).

title: Wii on PC monitor - occasionally blacks out

text: I use an ASUS PC monitor (unfortunately I can't remember the model type etc, however it is a LCD monitor with HDMI, DVI and VGA ports, as well as a speaker) I bought a Wii/PS3 Cable in the hopes that I can play the Wii on my montiro - much like I do with my PS3 and 360, for the convenience of having evefrything hooked up to the single screen. It works fine, with the exception that while I am playing the Wii on the monitor, it occasionally blacks out temporarily. Its as if the monitor goes to sleep briefly while I'm playing my game! Aside from it being quite rude, it'll also make it quite difficult to play any kind of game that involves consistent action! Currently it hasn't caused too many difficulties because I've only been playing the very early stages of Fragile Dreams, but if I get much further it has the potential to become quite a nightmare, aside from being ridiculously annoying. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to solve this? It would be much appreciated! Thanks all! ~~~~~~~~~~ Edit With new information As asked in the comments, I tested a bit more today... It does not seem to be affected by whether I'm in a cutscene or in game, watching FMVs or running through menus. In fact, it seems utterly disconnected from gameplay at all! It also is inconsistent with how long between blackouts. The shortest I experienced was about a minute and a half, the longest was a bit over 5 minutes, between blackouts. When it blacks out, the screen completely turns black for a few seconds, as if I was switching input channels, then the screen returns to showing me my game. Quite frustrating! I watched the light on the power button as it blacked out, and there was no change - it was signalling that the monitor was still turned on. Does this give anyone any ideas? I think it _may_ be my monitor thinking that there is no display, and trying to find something on another channel, then giving up and returning to the one I manually selected, but I'm not sure (and can't find an option to try and stop it from thinking!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Edit 2 I thought it may have been the VGA gender changer dongle thing that came with the cable, so I swapped that out for a longer VGA male to male adapter cable. It seems to have slowed down, but is still causing issues. This is getting ridiculously frustrating, I'm almost at the point of giving up on the Wii altogether over this! If anyone has had this problem before, or has any ideas on how to solve it, please speak up!


title: Is it possible to obtain more Lanius crew?

I found myself unable to connect to battle.net (the gaming network as opposed to the battle.net website). In this case the problem was with battle.net service. In the future I would like to check if the issue is on my side or if the battle.net service is down. I was using the battle.net login client. Specifically, I was unable to log into the battle.net service. I am not interested in any of the game specific servers. How can I check the status of battle.net?   Is there an official status of the battle.net service available somewhere?


title: How do you cancel the interaction bar?

text: When you try to activate/use/open hubs, consoles, boxes and other similiar objects in the game an interaction bar pops up and it takes up to few turns for it to fill up which results in you finishing your interaction with that object. **How can you cancel the interaction with an object while in the interaction- bar phase?** I noticed that if enemy hits you it will stop your interaction with the object. I also managed to stop interaction with the objects myself few times, but I really can't remember which button I pressed for it to work.


title: What determines if a city's population uses resource squares or becomes worker in the city?

text: First off, Civ-Revolution is the first Civ game I've played so pardon my ignorance. When I was playing earlier I noticed that with my large city, almost none of the squares around were being "used". For example, I could have a city, let's call it Dijon, with a population of 20 and a courthouse. Dijon's working squares extend out 3 spaces in every direction, with a great mix of resources (food, production, trade). I'm not at war with anyone and there are no units or towns in the area. Let's also assume that I have the workshop so that hills are worth 3 production. Now let's say that only 3 or 4 of the working squares are being utilized, mostly for food. Maybe I'm not looking at this closely enough. Why would one of the population stay in the city to produce 1 production or 1 production and 1 trade vs going to a hill to make 3?


title: Is Battle of the Immortals safe to download and install?

text: My youngest wants to download and install Battle of the Immortals from Perfect World. I was suspicious straight away as it was installing games like this that caused problems on the kid's computer earlier this year - strange browser toolbars and the like being the most obvious ones. We've since reinstalled Windows and I'd like to keep the machine clean. I've found a forum thread here that claims the game contains a trojan, but it's couched in language that makes me think of conspiracy theorists and doesn't offer any hard evidence. Also as Lee points out in his comment there isn't going to be any out-and-out malware in there. It's more the "extra" toolbars etc. that I'm sure will be included in the install that I'm worried about. I'd like to be sure that I'm not going to let him install anything nasty onto their computer. I can obviously scan the exe before I run it, but that won't tell me if it installs any browser plugins etc. What else can I, and should I, check?


title: Where to buy posters?

text: I watch a lot of Day9 TV, and I just decided to buy some cool and fancy StarCraft II posters, but Googling didn't return any usable results. Blizzard Store failed, because it just offers one poster, that is, in my opinion, not very cool. Do you have any websites where I can order SCII (or Diablo III) posters with worldwide shipping (or at least just North America + Europe)? Thank you very much.


title: Do I lose approval with customers if I don't have the item they ask for?

text: At Merchant level 3 in Recettear, you gain the ability to give customers sales recommendations. However, I've had some customers come in asking for a type of item that I do not have in stock at the moment, meaning they leave without a purchase at all. Does this have a negative effect on the relationship I have with them, and if so, is it easily made up for with later sales?

title: How to connect to new Pokewalker?

text: My brother lost his Pokewalker and got a new one individually to replace it. I looked up about replacements here on Bulbapedia and tried the Up+Select+R thing. It gave the Pokemon back, but if you try to connect to the new one, it says it isn't registered. What do I do now?


title: Am I supposed to have multiple high level pokemon?

text: I'm playing Pokemon Blue. I'm at Mt. Moon and I have a level 19 Charmander and no other Pokémon over level 5. I'm wondering if I'm playing the game correctly right now. If my charmander dies I will 'black out'. It seems weird that I should be expected to have multiple Pokémon at high levels when I haven't had much of an opportunity to level the others. Most of the other Pokémon I have are crappy and I don't intend on playing with later on. It hardly seems worth the time to level them now. Should I go back and gain some levels for my other pokemon?

title: Accidentally caged dwarfs

text: I just had an encounter with some goblin ambushers in front of my fort. Most were caught by cage traps, and I sent my troops out to finish the rest. However, somehow, two dwarves were captured, and now they're sitting in their "dwarf cages" in animal storage. How the heck do I get them out? How did they get in there in the first place - I thought my dwarves were immune to their own traps.

What are the details on the above, and what other hidden mechanics are there? From this forum post "From what I've seen doing them from beginner to hard mode there is no increase in material drop rates". Can anyone confirm anything one way or another?


title: How do I associate my Xbox 360 copy of Mass Effect 3 with my EA/Origin account?

title: Is there a way to disable the Codex entry pop-ups in Mass Effect 3?

text: Whenever I stumble across a new Codex entry, the game throws up a big "Codex Updated" message in the bottom-right corner of the screen. It's moderately annoying and distracting as it takes up about 1/6 of the screen. I frequently just ignore the message anyway and catch up on my designated codex reading in big batches. **Is there a way to disable this pop-up?** I'm playing on Xbox 360 so mods/patches/whatnot won't work for me, although if such options exist, feel free to post them as I'm sure this "feature" annoys some PC users as well.

title: Is it possible to disable Kinect support while playing Mass Effect 3?

text: I've been playing the Xbox 360 version of Mass Effect 3 and since I have a Kinect attached to the system, the game automatically "uses" its functionality. That is, whenever I or anyone or anything else the room makes a noise, a small red microphone appears in the upper left-hand corner. This is pretty distracting, especially when it happens in the middle of an intense fight. **Is there a way to turn this functionality off other than just unplugging the Kinect sensor?** ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/E5C7i.jpg) _(Sorry for the blurry picture.

title: Can I transfer Steam Games from Win7 to Linux?

text: Does the Linux version of Steam use the same `.gcf` files as the Windows version? And if so where is the Steam install located _by default_ on a *nix system? `/usr/share/` or `/home/user/.steam` or somewhere else? To expound on my question: What I'm trying to accomplish is taking the majority of Steam's files, and moving the compatible bits to Linux. It is my understanding that when Steam is presented with partial/incomplete data, it will download only what it need, leaving the usable pieces intact, thus saving bandwidth. So what I'm wondering is: am I able to copy the Steam folder from a Windows install to a Linux install and nothing break? Will Steam download the proper Linux binary version of the game? Do I need to delete the Windows binaries? Do I need to delete file associated with Windows-only games? Et cetaera.

title: Exactly how good of a follower is Aranea Ienith? Is she worth foregoing the Black Star?

text: I realize that there are already a variety of questions that debate the usefulness of the Black Star versus Azura's Star, and it's pretty evident that the Black Star is more useful--black soul gems are pretty rare, and woefully expendable, but opportunities to harvest black souls (which are all Grand) are plentiful. However, these don't adequately address what I feel is probably the greatest benefit of the "Azura" side of the Black Star quest: the opportunity to get Aranea Ienith (the Azura priestess) as your follower. From what I gather from the UESP wiki, Aranea is the strongest mage follower you can possibly have. So, is Aranea + regular Azura's Star > Black Star? As a shot in the dark, is it possible to get both Aranea _and_ the Black Star?


title: Is it possible to have my minecraft server update itself?

text: I am currently playing a server with my friends on the new Minecraft snapshot and I constantly have to update it because they release a new snapshot often.

title: Is it possible to get the trophy "SHARDCORE" in inFamous 2 while you're still limited to the first part of the city?

text: I ask this because Ive already gotten the trophy for 50% of the Dead Drops. It stands to reason I would probably be able to also get 50% of the Blast Shards (which is how you get the trophy SHARDCORE). There are civilians running around with shards, but taking them from them is an evil act. Is there a way to get 50% of the shards WITHOUT taking them from the civilians? This question only applies to the first part of the game, before you've crossed the bridge in the north-eastern part of the city. I'm trying to get the shards in this specific time frame. I'm really enjoying the game's story, so please leave any comments or answers **spoiler free**.

Can anyone giveme any pointers on how to -- or even IF, I can get Essentials installed on the box? Help appreciated.

Is there a difference between leaving two minions up and coming back later and killing another to delay a buff/respawn?


title: Ingress Minimum Attack Efficiency

text: I was experimenting with the "hold fire" option to get the 20% bonus attack this morning and I was doing it with some level 1 bursters. Nearby high level resonators (7 & 8) reported damage as -1% I thought it was interesting that such a high level portal was damaged by a level 1 burster, so I gave a level 6 burster a try with the max +20% bonus on the hold fire, but again I only got -1% damage I didn't think about repeating it and checking the actual XM damage from each attack, but it made me question whether due to maximum mitigation, using a lower level burster would acheive the same damage as a higher level burster. Does anyone have any evidence of this being the case? I will experiment again but someone might already have the data available

text: In my current game of "Fallout, New Vegas" I have had no meaningful interaction with Cassidy of Cassidy caravans to have any meaningful impact on my relation with the Van Graffs. In the quest, "still in the dark" given by the brotherhood of steel faction, I have reached a point where I must attack and eliminate the Van Graffs. I want to use them as a vendor before attacking, however, so I depart to their establishment, but they are hostile. This is not my problem, I assumed it only natural, as I have a quest to slaughter them. I loaded a save BEFORE I receive the progress in the quest to kill the Van Graffs (specifically before I deliver the holo-tapes to Hardin.), yet they are still hostile to me? How can I possibly interact with the Van Graffs while they attack me? Will they continue to be hostile if I finish the quest without giving the holotapes to Hardin? Will I have to do something else? I also will add that I am unable to use console commands.


title: Is there any indicator for squad health on the main HUD?

text: Looking at the main HUD of the game, there seems to be no indicator of squad health, only their picture (which doesn't seem to indicate anything other than _dead_ ) and Shepard's health/shields (for obvious reasons). Pausing the game does not seem to bring up any indicator either. The only thing I could find was the actual health levels in the Squad menu, but this is nonideal in the heat of combat in order to glance at who is about to die. Any idea if there is a way to display them without a mod, or is it something planned in a future patch?


title: Is it possible to create diagonal pool pieces?

text: You can place pool pieces in regular squares, use those rounded parts of two kinds, but I am wondering if it is possible to create diagonal pools as well? I want to build a pool in the corner of a garden where it is surrounded by three straight walls , but one corner has a diagonal angle in it. Can I fill up the two small grassy triangles up with pools as well?


title: How do I cause or prevent Interference, Interceptions, Deadlocks etc.?

text: During battles, I feel like I have no idea what's going on. My unit-groups will intercept and be intercepted; interfere and be interfered (?); flank and be flanked; and become deadlocked _(is this even a bad thing?)_. This all happens seemingly at random. Is there any way of knowing which actions will flank or interfere (etc.) another unit-group? Or of knowing when they'll do it to me? Can I prevent it? Do I even _want_ to?


title: What happened with Ashley between ME2 and ME3?

text: What happened between ME2 and ME3 that changed Ashley's attitude toward Shepard? In ME2 she didn't even want to talk with you because you were with Cerberus. She acted like you just made the biggest act of treason ever. In ME3 you start back with a her still a little mad, but in your party, and the relation starts back again. So what happened that made her like Shepard again? > (except for Shepard leaving Cerberus)


title: How and when do I recruit Tali?

text: I started playing the first few plot missions in ME3 last night, and very early on I recruited Garrus. Both he and Tali survived the events of ME2 (on my save), and I believe they are both potential squadmates. They tended to round out my team in previous installments. If I've just recruited Garrus, how far am I from recruiting Tali? If I want to recruit her as fast as possible, what should I do?


title: Can you set a queue for games being installing on Steam?

text: So, I just bought a bunch of games on Steam. Of course, none of them are installed. Steam, by default, installs one game at a time. If there is a game not being installed, it will eventually be according to where it's position in the install queue is. Next to those games, while showed in a yellow color, is the text "Update Suspended". Why they call it Suspended? Beats me because they have definitely not been installed. So, out of all these games being installed, some of them I like more than others, so I want to install them first. Is there anyway to change the queue order of games being installed?


title: What's the most efficient way to get experience?

text: Now that experience does something besides render regions of a server uninhabitable due to orb lag, what's the most efficient and safe way to get those excellent enchants? A mob farmer may rank highly, but what about without tons of setup?


title: How do I remove a spell "stuck" on my hand in Skyrim?

text: The spell "Lesser Ward" is stuck on my right hand in Skyrim. I can no longer replace it with another spell by using the GUI, and I can't unequip it either. Using the "favorites" hotkey, I can equip both hands to a spell and then equip another to my left hand to get a wanted spell on my right, but this is a bit cumbersome. Since I'm a Khajiit mage, I like to have a spell in my left hand and my right hand free for attacking. If I try to use the console to remove the spell, my right hand simply doesn't do anything. I then can't attack, but I can't use the offending ward either. This problem persists through saves - if I load a save from before the problem, I still have the spell in my right hand.


title: Simcity Delete/Rebuild Great Work?

text: I build an international airport at the great work site I planned for space center. Is it possible to delete the airport so I can rebuild it as space center?


title: Why would I split captured monster parts, and which parts should I split?

text: Sometimes when killing a monster, you get a part of that monster, which you can split into other items, or keep. Since I have no idea what they're for and splitting can't be undone, I've just been choosing to keep them. **What are they for? Should I be splitting them instead?**


title: Applied Energistic - Keep infinite amout of items

text: I've just switched my logistic pipes system for an AE system, and I'm having trouble with something. My LP system auto crafted me triple compressed cobblestone when there was enough in my system to make a block. Currently my AE system has 61k cobblestone clogging it up. I've taught it how to make the triple compressed, but I can't find a way to tell it to auto craft them as soon as it can. Is this possible? I have a molecular assembler set up with the required CPUs and patterns in order to craft the triple compressed.


title: What are the different endings in Revolution 60 and how achieve them?

text: The game mention different endings in function of your performance and choices, what are the endings and how to get them ?


title: Is there anything behind this door in Venice?

text: In `Metro: Last Light`, Venice, there is a child who lost his teddy bear. I was able to find his bear and return it, but then ended up leaving the city before I could return to see if he and his mother finally moved out of the way of the door. Because `Metro: Last Light` does not allow you to save games wherever you like, it would be difficult to get back to that moment in time in the game. Does anyone know if that door may open? And if so, is there anything worthwhile behind it? Thanks.


title: How processor type (i3/i5/i7) affects game performance on ultrabooks?

text: Majority of ultrabooks today are available with choice of i3, i5 or i7 processor with same video card used: Intel HD4000. For example, given Sony Duo 11, where are 3 configurations: with i3-3217U, i5-3317U and i7-3517U processors. How can i figure out what FPS actual games will have (like Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, etc) if started on all 3 notebooks with same grphics settings? I have tried notebookcheck and google, but where are no direct comarison for same notebook models and same game graphics settings with different processors :(.


title: Are there any mods that unlock higher level equipment or skill trees?

text: In the origin Dawn Of War 2, the level cap is only 20, and the skill tree for each character is much less than Chaos Rising. The only better part was that you can play missions infinite times, something you couldn't do in Chaos Rising. So my question is, are there any mods for the Dawn of War 2 campaign that can unlock higher level equipment or skill trees?


title: Is there any purpose to the three questions asked when making a new game?

text: After deciding a name for your character, you are then asked three questions: _this summer I'm going to_ , _as a personal goal I want to_ , and _next year I promise not to._ I assume these questions serve a purpose, but the game doesn't give any hint as to what it is, nor does the manual seem to contain any information. Do these questions serve any purpose?


title: Can I direct the audio in Fallout: New Vegas to another device?

text: I'm playing New Vegas on my PC. I want to redirect the audio to my monitor's speakers while my default audio device is set to my TV. I couldn't find anything in the options, is there somewhere else I can specify which audio device New Vegas uses?


title: Meaning of green up and red down arrows next to unit cover shield?

text: I've noticed some of my soldiers occasionally have a green ^ or a red ^ (upside down) next to their cover icon. What is the meaning of this?


title: What is considered a continent? - eg for Indonesia's Spice Islanders bonus

text: Gajah Mada (Indonesia) gets the Spice Islanders bonus. > The first 3 cities founded on continents other than where Indonesia started > each provide 2 luxury resources (and can never be razed). What is considered a different continent for these purposes? My guess would be it has to be separated by ocean, but it could be that just a coastal sea separating landmasses is enough.


title: Is it possible to unlink a CN account temporarily and re-link it later to register the games afterwards?

text: At the moment I hit platinum status but want to avoid downloading Pokemon Bank and Steel Diver to save those coins for the next CN year (that starts on July). I was wondering, could it be possible to unlink my Club Nintendo account from my 3DS, download the games, and link it a couple of months down the line to "save" those coins for later? Or will I lose those coins if the 3DS is not linked to a CN account?


title: Strum and Obsessive Compulsive

text: Do you need to go through all rounds of Strum to get the 100% achievement? Because I suck royally at "Simon Says" type of games.


title: How to add another device to Clash of Clans without losing anything?

text: In the beginning I played Clash of Clans on my IPhone (I have one account.) After a year my brother played the game on his IPad and IPhone(he has one account, too.) Now we (me and my brother) play clash of clans on 3 devices(two accounts.) I want to play the game on MY Ipad without creating a new apple id. How do you do that without losing my brother's account???


title: In "The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing" how many auras/tricks can you learn?

text: There is room for 8 auras and 8 tricks, but i want to ask, if i fill all the slots and then want to learn a new one, can i override one that is already learned?


title: How does the "chance to hit" (or accuracy) work in Path of Exile?

text: So there's this percentage that shows how accurate your character is when hitting. Say I use a bow, and when you reach 100% chance to hit (or accuracy) then I believe it hits all the arrows. But after I saw that it's possible to get more percentage than 100% then my thoughts are.. Is there a limit, or is it pointless?


title: Could "Lips" for XBox360 be effectively used to rehearse a song?

text: I've got several Karaoke games (American Idol, Rock Band, etc.) for my XBOX360, but I've heard that Lips lets you import your own MP3 files and play them in the game. My wife does community theater, and I was thinking for her musical numbers this game would be a good way for her to practice the songs for her plays and perfect her pitch and timing on the songs by importing and playing professional recordings of those songs. Obviously it doesn't have the lyrics if you import your own sound file (especially for obscure music), but can it detect and show the pitch indicator on the screen for imported songs? Overall, would this game be practical for singing practice on imported songs?


title: Does Gnaw turrets die when Gnaw does?

text: When I die (playing Gnaw), a friend of mine noticed all my turrets vanish. Is this verified ?


title: What is the best way to earn Dream Points?

text: To unlock some of the better hidden abilities, it seems like you need a massive amount of dream points (10k to unlock Vulpix or Poliwag). What are the most efficient ways to gather the required points in the shortest amount of time?


title: How to get 'All Upright' ribbon for Food Fight level 8 (Nemesisters)?

text: In the recent level pack "Food Fight" for Bag It, I managed to complete level 8, but one of the ribbons is for 'All Upright'. I can't find a way to get everything in upright due to the awkward shape of the bananas. For reference, the items are:   * 3x melon   * 4x milk   * 2x salsa   * 2x green banana (L shape)   * 1x pink banana (J shape) And the bananas cannot touch.


title: Are some DE:HR keycodes unobtainable?

text: According to this answer, all keypads should have a valid keycode, however, the wiki linked list one or two codes as "?" Why are those codes not listed? Are some keycodes in the game unobtainable? Anyone have access to the game and can run check, maybe? The codes missing (at the time of writing this) are:   * "East Apartment F2" in Detroit Downtown Apartments   * "Hengsha Streets (South)" in Hengsha City


title: What happened to my OP8 weapons?

text: I was on my second Character, and had him at OP8 very early into the first play through. I then completed True Vault Hunter Mode on OP8, I then went to play Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode on OP8 and I was back at LVL72 and could no longer play with my OP8 weapons. **So does anyone know why this is happening? Is it a bug? Or is there something I should not have done?** What is OP (in case you are confused)? OP8 is a short term for 'Over Powered LVL8' it is part of the new DLC, in which you receive LVL80 gear for your LVL72 character. More information HERE.


title: How can I skip skinning/looting animations in Far Cry 3?

text: Aside from dancing around dead bodies in an attempt to find the proper pointing spot for "Press `E` to skin", my most frustrating issue with Far Cry 3 is the amount of time it takes for the looting or skinning animation to play whenever I take these actions. It seems like the game skips these animations in some cases (I've seen it 2 or 3 times) but no alternate application of the `E` key during skinning/looting changes the animation duration. Have I stumbled upon a bug with the animation skipping or is there something I can do to skip the animation myself?


title: Is StarCraft still played competitively or has it all but been replaced with StarCraft II?

text: StarCraft II seems much more spectator-friendly (and modern computer), but are there still any large tournaments that are sticking to the old, balanced to the n-th degree SC1? I can't really make out what happens in Korea that well, it seems like there are tons of StarCraft tourneys, but are they all SC2 nowadays?


title: In Banjo-Kazooie, what happens if I run out of lives?

text: In Banjo-Kazooie (N64, Xbox 360) if I die I go back to the start of the world I'm in. What if I completely run out of lives?


title: In Borderlands, what if my character is past level 50 and then I play without the DLC installed?

text: In Borderlands, say I play with the Secret Armory DLC installed and rank up past level 50. Then, I move my game save to another Xbox 360 that doesn't have the DLC, sign in with the same gamertag, and try to load the save. Assuming I last saved in an area in the main game and not one of the DLC levels, and have the latest title update installed. What happens? Does it prevent me from playing, lower me to level 50, or allow me to continue in the main game at, say, level 55 without the DLC anymore? Thank you.

text: In Dwarf Fortress adventure mode, can I equip my unarmed peasant with weapons and armor? Some of these plucky blue collar types have managed to survive a lot and I'd like to see them upgraded.


title: Is there a definitive modding community for Minecraft?

text: I'm looking to download some mods for Minecraft. I'm new to the modding community and unsure whether there is a website or community centered around modding Minecraft that is a 'One-stop' place for most Minecraft mods, similar to other communities for other games. Does such a community exist? If so, where can I find it?


title: How does the 'Cash For Relics' shop work?

text: Some of the maps have tiles with a big sign on them that reads 'cash for relics' and a passive many-eyed beast floating around that must be a shopkeeper or something. I've stood in the tiles but haven't gotten anything from him. How do you get relics for cash? Do you have to be carrying a full load of gold/diamond/mithril? ![Cash 4 Relics](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3pn1V.jpg)


title: How to move two aligned tile pieces to the top of a scheme in sliding puzzles?

text: While playing Cogs, I have found myself plenty of times in this irritating situation. I have this:               .--.      |XY| (where I don't really care about X, Y, or Z)     |AB|     |Z |     ....      ...while what I want is this:               .--.      |AB| (where again, I'll sort X, Y and Z later.)     |XY|     |Z |     ....      I'm tired of trying to get this by accident. By goodness, you how do you make that happen consistently?


title: Can you finish the game siding with Caesar as a woman?

text: As is fairly well-documented, Caesar's Legion is extremely sexist -- women do not serve his armies, are subservient to men in all ways, etc. So my question is, if you are playing New Vegas as a woman, are you able to side with Caesar throughout the game and for the endgame? Does that modify any of the interactions with the Legion?


title: What is afterburn command for in Freelancer?

text: I see in the command controlling the ship with `Tab` key saying to Afterburn. I don't know what that is.


title: What are good strategies and build orders for a newbie player?

text: i'm a newbie in the Civ universe (although i played civ4 for a short while). I enjoy the new addition to the series and i am able to win games on easy difficulties, but there is no real strategy behind my play. I just build things that seem useful and then go to war and slowly beat everyone. Although this works now, i can imagine it won't on higher difficulties. So my question is - what are good strategies/build orders for a newbie player? What should i build in my cities and why?

title: What does %elemental damage get me?

text: I just made a pair of daggers with +8% poison damage. I didn't have any decent Rivets available, so it was a choice between that and +8% bleed damage. The dagger now has a listed bonus of "+8% poison damage". Does this mean:   * Whenever the dagger deals damage, it deals an additional 8% of that damage as poison damage?   * Whenever my character deals poison damage from any source, it deals 8% more damage?   * Whenever the dagger deals damage, 8% of that is poison damage? Or maybe even something else entirely? What's going on here?


title: How can I create my own Xbox 360 theme?

text: How can I create my own theme for Xbox 360? Is it relatively straightforward with the use of software (either on the Xbox itself, my PC or a combination of both). Or is there a huge process like when submitting games to the arcade involving approval, assigning points for purchase, etc? All I want to do is use my own background photo/wallpaper.


title: In Titan Attacks!, is the EARTH achievement broken?

text: Which of the gold training is most efficient, in terms of strength per gold?


title: How do I manipulate where the Skeleton King teleports?

text: In attempting to get Instant Karma, I died a few times on my Wizard then gave up figuring I was too low level to tank incidental damage, though I did get close (12/15). My major problem was trying to get him to teleport near his minions so he would flail about and knock them to pieces. His teleport sometimes seems to follow the path his ghostly essence is moving as he casts it--I was thinking it was essentially an invisible straight-line charge--but other times he goes way off and pops out right on me. Does he commit to landing at a certain spot before the effect appears (can't move very far to reposition between that and him popping out)? Is there a range limit/angular limit to it I can ~~ab~~ use?


title: How can I track achievement progress?

text: I'm preparing to clear Instant Karma tonight, but I want to know how much progress I have made in the achievement. Is there a way I could track my achievements (like the quests are track-able at the right side)? Or I need to keep waiting until I get it?


title: What does the Staff of Herding do?

text: I have found the Recipe for something called the Staff of Herding. Upon closer inspection it does a measly 3.5 damage per second, but the ingredients to craft it (which include Wirt's Bell, a 100,000 gold investment) are extremely expensive. Is it possible that this staff is for a secret level? Is it just achievement fodder?


title: How to test weapons in Battlefield 3 without affecting accuracy score?

text: Do you know of any time when the game is [not] counting the bullets you fire or registering any hits or misses? Would the time when there is this "Waiting for players" message be suitable? The reason I ask these questions is that, as mentioned in the main question in the title, I want to be able to just change weapons, test them out with different setups, suicide the kit character, switch to a different kit or weapon, test again, and rinse and repeat. My best guess is the "Waiting for players" screen, but I'm not 100% sure that firing bullets in the air during that time really doesn't count; I hope so. Can anyone confirm this or give me a different tip to test weapons? Many thanks for anyone taking the time to offer tips or information.


title: Why am I still gaining infamy even though I am wearing NCR armor?

text: Am I misunderstanding how faction armor works? It's my understanding that while you are wearing faction armor, NCR for example and attack another faction, Legion, in this case, I would not gain infamy. To test that, I donned some NCR armor and fought some random Legionares. After a few of them went down, my faction rep turned to hated. I figured that waiting a little while and removing the armor would cause me to not be villified. However, I'm still hated. When do I get reputation changes while wearing faction armor? I did have Boone with me, do companions affect rep gains as well?


title: How to catch up in science specifically with Korea and Babylon in late game?

text: I was playing in King difficulty (BNW). Without pressure from wars, Korea manage to tech up to complete Manhattan project the same time as I complete Railroads tech in first tech in Modern Era. Literally I'm one era behind him. I was not aware at that time about his ability to boost science when he completed Wonder and he got plenty of them as he tech ahead everyone as well. It might be too late to realize this. Anyway does any one has a generic answer for this situation (not specific on this game or any civ).

text: “Unable to run because your video card drivers did not install properly, are out of date, or are for unsupported hardware. Please make sure you have the latest video card drivers and even if you do have the latest, try reinstalling them.” I've downloaded the utility application "PC Pitstop Driver Alert2" that reports no updates for my driver. It says the video card driver is already up to date... the driver name listed in Display Adapters is this: **Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.0)** I am running Windows 7 Ultimate Operating System. Why am I not able to run the game? **[EDIT]** The game used to run perfectly when I had Windows XP pro installed in my PC..Now I have switched to Windows 7 Ultimate and been having this problem ever since..I am just not able to run it!..If the drivers are up to date..what's the problem then ?


title: How do I avoid friendly fire in Starcraft 2 single player?

text: I often use the attack-move command on my troops, and in the course of events sometimes click on one of my own and kill him/her instead. Is there a method to avoid friendly-fire? I could use the "patrol" command, but I find the P key is too far away for practical use. Edit: I should mention I am playing on hard difficulty.


title: Are empty fuel tanks cheaper in Kerbal Space Program?

text: In previous versions of KSP you could adjust the amount of fuel in your tanks so to get better TWR. You can still do it in KSP 0.24 but now the fuel tanks cost money. My question is: if you reduce the amount of fuel in the vehicle assembly building (ei. before launch) will the ship be cheaper?


title: Is there a strategy for endurance races?

text: I haven't had any trouble getting 1st place on the Endurance challenges in Real Racing 3 up until now. I'm playing the "Maplethorpe Tyres Precision Driving" Endurance event, and for some reason I can't seem to get more than about 6.5 miles or so before the time runs out, no matter how well I drive the course. And yet I'm seeing there are people out there logging 10 miles or more. My cars aren't fully upgraded; but could that really be the 3 to 4 mile difference? Up until now I haven't had to fully upgrade my vehicles to stay competitive so early in a series (I'm only 34% through this one). I even skipped ahead to the next couple of events and won them easily. So what am I doing so wrong on this one?


title: What's the secret to playing Sniper?

text: I enjoy playing TF2, and I've been spending the past half year trying to touch up on my skills. The only problem I have is playing Sniper. A lot of professionals tell me it's an easy class, that it's simply and Point and Click class. However, I have experienced multitudes of problems. I can't consistently get headshots unless I stand absolutely still, something which tends to get me killed. Also, I have trouble predicting where enemies move. I've seen many videos of competitive snipers who take less than 2 seconds to aim, shoot, and get headshots. How can I improve upon playing Sniper? Are there any secrets to playing this class?


title: Does education spread across cities to increase tech level, and how far?

text: If I build an education specialist city and remove all other education buildings, am I right in thinking that all of my students in the nearby cities will commute there for study, grow up to become educated workers, and over time increase the tech level in the surrounding cities? Or do you need a college/university within an industrial city in order to increase its tech level? Also, what's the maximum distance that Sims will commute for study? Is it just within each 4 city area of a region surrounding a great work, or even less?

title: Are high density buildings larger on avenues than for streets?

text: I notice that the guidelines for avenues are further apart when placing avenues than when placing streets. Does this mean that the high density buildings for avenues are larger? Or does it take into account the fact that avenues are wider? It just seems that the spacing between the avenues is too wide, even after accounting for the double width of an avenue compared to a street.


title: How much does supply and demand affect global market prices?

text: I heard exporting large volumes of a good will lower prices over time. I think I've seen prices change, but haven't paid much attention to them. My city exports a lot of TVs and I was wondering how low the price can go.


title: What is the relationship between zone density and wealth?

text: I am wondering if there is a relationship between a zone density and residential wealth? For example, do high wealth Sims only live in high density areas? Also, how do you get high density industrial? I've tried placing parks around my industrial zones but I did not notice any change in my density.

Should I still attempt to clear an outpost stealthily? Is there another bonus or advantage to clearing an outpost without being seen? **What are effective ways to get maximum or optimal CP when clearing an outpost in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon?**


title: How do I stop water from covering the map in the conquer the world campaign?

text: I am not sure if this is a bug in the game, but I've reinstalled the game completely many times. Whenever I play a "conquer the world" campaign, after a certain amount of time the map becomes filled with the sea and water. Though the game is still working, I am not able to play because of the terrain. I've tried to google it, but I am not able to find anything about this. How can I avoid or fix this issue?


title: Do Painted Cowmanglers actually exist?

text: I've been getting into TF2 trading a lot more now, and I heard of something called a paintable Cow Mangler 5000. Apparently, applying paint to the Cow Mangler would give it a unique color of fire. Unfortuantely, I can't find any evidence online to support the existence of a painted Cow Mangler, let alone on the official TF2 Wiki. Does such a thing exist? Is there evidence to support this?


title: How can I most effectively roll the world?

text: I started playing the game Don't Starve yesterday and find it really difficult to get a base set-up. I fear I might have simply rolled a world that is too hard to play. When starting a new world, what do I want it to include the most of? For example, my current world has a _very large_ rock field (30-40 boulders very close to the spawn), a forest of trees and berry shrubs. A huge field of grass (probably close to 100+) -- but I'm not seeing many rabbits or any pigmen and beefalos. I start by the swamp (and die often randomly to large tentacles) and there's a graveyard nearby I could farm for tons of research points. In addition to animals is there anything else I'm missing and might need to have a good "first-time player" world? Should I just give up and start a new world altogether? If I do what should I be looking for?


title: How can I legally try Wii games before buying them?

title: Does a villager only ask you to add a police station (or other public works) when they approach you?

text: I know that the Police Station is a public works project that must be requested by one of your villagers. I also know that villagers will see you, an exclamation point will appear above their head, and they will walk straight to you until you talk to them or ignore them. My question is, will they request a public works project only in this case? When they approach you? Or can they request it during any conversation, even if they don't approach you first?


title: Will I lose friends if I ignore them?

text: When using the Streetpass feature of Mii Plaza, you walk around and gather 'friends', which shows up as a notification (Green LED light on the 3DS, and a green dot on the game icon). Can I safely ignore these notifications for an extended period of time, without losing the new friends they bring into the Mii Plaza? (I'm getting sick of watching all my heroes turn back in _Streetpass Quest_ , as I'm waiting on someone with White Magic to light up a room). I'm thinking of leaving it from 2 to about 5 days.


title: how do I kill bosses?

text: Undead Yahua and other Undead bosses take 10 lifes of my hero, but are hardly damaged by my troops. I use witches, archers, hammer soldiers and crossbows, all of them level 5. X Liu Bei is on level 15, with a Fire Fan and Flying Sand (all soldiers rend armor +20%) As far as I remember I had no problem with them when I used taoist Priests. Are these bosses especially vulnerable to lighning, and immune to everything else? These bosses only come in the arena.


title: Dashing vs Non-Dashing, and Stalking in General

text: In XCom:EU I tend to alert the enemy a lot and can not sneak up on them. Thus they get the first retreat and usually the first shot starting the next round I know there is Ghost Armor later in the game but for the early game:   * Does dashing causes more noise? Can you stalk better if you don't dash?   * Does ground type affect detection? Cocrete vs metal   * Does jumping over logs create noise?   * Even better does the game even factor in noise like the older games? I know the squad can hear enemy movement. In the other UFO/Xcom games there were stalking abilities. Are there any skills that improve stalking in XCom:EU
