title: Wizard CDR builds?

text: So I've been looking to improve my Wizard's survivability in Inferno. I've looked into a group of Wizard builds called CDR (Cooldown Reduction) builds, whose primary skills are Critical Mass and Frost Nova. There seems to have been a lot of success with this build, but also Blizzard seems to have nerfed it substantially (Magic Weapon/Venom, Living Lightning, etc. Can anyone confirm a list of these which are nerfed??). Does anyone know of any **currently working** CDR builds? I've read this article, but it seems to use the nerfed skills in 1.0.3.


title: What do the stats in The Club represent?

text: In The Club, characters have three stats:   * Speed   * Strength   * Stamina What do these mean in gameplay? Speed is obviously how fast the character runs, but the other two aren't so clear. GameFAQs doesn't seem to know either.


title: How do I gift the rewards of the Bioshock Infinite pre-order?

text: I pre-purchased Bioshock Infinite. Along with this, I received Bioshock and X-Com. Both I have already. On the store-page it says for both games: > Already own it on Steam? Gift it to a friend How can I gift this to a friend then? Thanks!


title: How do I see screenshots taken through Steam of a non-Steam game?

text: Steam has an option to take a screenshot of your current game at any time (F12). For Steamworks games, all screenshots are displayed as thumbnails on the library page when I select the game in my library, but when I take screenshots of a non-Steam game, they don't appear on my profile page. The profile page also says I have 0 screenshots for that game. How do I find them? And how do I make them show up on my online profile page?


title: How can I slow enemies (especially mini-bosses) as a sniper assassin?

text: I've completed the game as a sniper assassin and I'm playing through again on True Vault Hunter Mode. For the most part my damage is scaling up and as long as I'm in the zone getting quick critical hits I'm handling normal mobs just fine. Bosses and mini-bosses are giving me the most trouble. Often I have to get close to spawn them and my first reaction is to hit Decepti0n and sprint away. But most of them can close almost any distance in one leap and chase me as fast as I can sprint. With about 10k/10k shields/health I can only take a few hits and have to rely on health stealing grenades and repeated sprints to try to kite the bosses. Mini-bosses are often in confined spaces that get me killed quickly. Any tips for slowing them down so I can get some distance?


title: What is the significance of tactical strike team missions?

text: I'm having a hard time doing these missions, and apparently there's a limited time window for me to do them. Are there any rewards or penalties for completing or failing to complete these missions?


title: How can I win tactical strike force missions?

text: The first (and to date, last) time I tried to play the FOB Spectre mission, I was slaughtered in 3 minutes. It seems any 1 of my units is incapable of taking out any 1 enemy unit, and I only have 3 to defend 3 objectives. Is there a trick I'm missing? Apparently the number of retries I have is limited, and so is the number of story missions I can do before the tactical missions expire. Do my strike teams regenerate at some point, or will I be a total loser if I fail 3 times?

text: What is the top speed of a mosquito with maxed racer frame, and how does that compare with other ESF w/ max racer frame?


title: My world keeps not responding correctly, how do i fix that?

text: I was using a lan server on my favorite world and when i saved and exited the world everything worked fine. Then later i tried to enter the world and it glitched out a bit at the load screen and when i got onto the world, it was VERY unresponsive, by that I mean that i would break a block and nothing would happen, the block just disappears, when i try to access chests it takes a good two minutes to see the contents.

title: A more efficient mob pushing redstone circuit?

text: I am trying to build a mob system where the pistons push the mobs. The screen shot below shows my current design, but I'm thinking there has to be a more space/redstone efficient way to get at this. Or is this as good as it can get? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Iixih.png)


title: Can Individual Guild Influence Be Tracked?

text: In the guild log it shows influence gains grouped together, but its clear from how achievements work that the single member's influence is tracked down somehow, but I don't see where it's shown. Is there a way to see how much influence a specific guild member generated for you guild?


title: How does crop quality work?

text: I know that a higher crop quality results in more profit, and that I need to use fertilizer in order to get higher quality crops, but I'm not sure on any specific details. Specifically, I'm curious as to the following:   * What are the different levels of crop quality?   * How many times do I need to fertilize a crop in order to raise it's level?    * How many crops can I fertilize with one bag of fertilizer?


title: What changes does advancing to a new era have?

text: Judging from this question, advancing to a new era _may_ have this effects: >   * increased bonuses more from city-states >   * unlocks policies >   * makes your opponents think your are ahead in tech (at least in > multiplayer) >   * cities make more damages (or is it just the animation that changes ?) > But is that all (or true, at least)? I've heard in some "Let's Play" I was watching that changing era decreses the costs of past era technologies. Is that actually true? There is a comprehensive list of changes you get by advancing to a new era?


title: How do I de-lock away from enemies?

text: I'm fairly new to the Assassins Creed series, and one thing that's been bugging me like crazy is locking on to enemies. Sometimes, when I'm running away from guards, I end up accidently locking on to one of them, making me unable to run around at my leisure. How do I get rid of lock on?


title: Is there any point to catching rabbits with berries?

text: In just eat I can use a trap baited with berries to catch rabbits in order to get a morsel which can be cooked, however I've noticed that the cooked morsels don't replenish much more meat than the berries do in the first place! Is there any point to using berries to catch rabbits, or should I just eat the berries themselves directly?


title: Is there a way to use cheat codes like 'HESOYAM' on GTA San Andreas for iOS?

text: Is there a way to use cheat codes like `HESOYAM` on GTA San Andreas for iOS _directly in the UI, without copying saved files_? **Update** : Using a bluetooth keyboard doesn't work either.


title: What "futuristic" songs play during the game and when?

text: **Minor spoilers warning** We learn during the game that Albert Fink, Jeremiah's brother, was able to listen to music through Tears and claim it as his own. During the game you can hear "oldified" version of songs that came out after the game's timeline. I've heard Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" through a tear (but not its old version) and during the end credits I've heard a version of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears For Fears (Ha!). What is the full list of all the futuristic (as of 1912) songs that appear during the game and when do they appear?


title: Who is the man in the ending?

text: In the ending after the credits > A man (the subtitles say "Stargazer") and a boy star into the sky discussing > "The Shepard" (which took place a while ago). The scenery/sky seem to be the > same planet where the Normandy crashed. Who is this man and child?


title: Is there an optimal time to use nitrous?

text: I can use nitrous to boost the speed of my car, but I seemed to notice it sometimes affect the speed more, sometimes less. Is there an optimal time to use it for greatest benefit or is it all just in my tired head?


title: Do I get the credit for the damage and kills my sabotaged enemies do?

text: The Quarian Infiltrator in Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer has the very nice Sabotage power which can cause certain enemies to fight on your side for a while. The ability is very useful, but I'm wondering how the damage those "converted" enemies do to other enemies is handled.   * Does the damage from sabotaged enemies count for the XP you get?   * How is it handled for medals that you get for a certain number of kills/assists?


title: What determines my horse's sprint duration and speed?

text: My horse will gallop fine, but she becomes exhausted after a while and slows back to normal speed. What determines the speed of this sprint, and more importantly, the duration? Does it in any way depend on my stats and condition, or is it her personal trait? Do horses differ in speed and sprint duration?


title: What effect do difficulty levels have?

text: There are three different difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard). What kinds of penalties/bonuses do they cause? For bonus points, how does the "Aggressive AI" option play into things?


title: What does the score mean in campaign missions?

text: After completing a campaign mission in Frozen Synapse, I am presented with a "score". This seems to consist of a number and a symbol. But so far I haven't really seen a correlation between how I thought I performed in the mission and either the number or the symbol. So what are they supposed to represent?


title: What are the score requirements for each level in Child of Eden?

text: In _Child of Eden_ each level gives you a number of stars at the end that I believe is entirely dependent on score (which is dependent on combos, rhythm, enemies killed, items collected, and perhaps time). What are the score thresholds for the star ratings, for each level?

title: Do I need to have played any other Kingdom Hearts games to play/follow Dream Drop Distance?

text: I love the idea of the Kingdom Hearts games. Problem is, I have missed out on playing most of them, especially the early ones. There are quite a few games in the series now, and I don't really relish the idea of going back and playing every single one - some are hard to find, and they do span a variety of gaming consoles. Not to mention the sheer time I would have to spend playing all of the games. I am intrigued by Kingdom Hearts 3D( Dream Drop Distance), however. It looks like it would be a lot of fun to play, and it is on a system I already own (the 3DS). If I have never played any other Kingdom Hearts game, will I be totally lost in the story and have no idea what is going on? Or will I still be able to enjoy the game as it is, without having all the backstory? If not, what is the minimum I have to play from the series to make sure I get all of the needed story and other elements?


title: How do I save and/or quit in Silent Hill 2 HD?

text: I am playing Silent Hill 2 from the Silent Hill HD Collection available for the X360. Simply put, I can't find a way to save or to quit to the main menu. Now I have played similar type of games before and some of them have fixed save points (like Deadspace). I am wondering if this one does as well. So far I haven't been able to find them. There is also the question of quitting the game. How do I do that? I can't find it anywhere in the Start button menu. Since I can't save, I've had to leave my Xbox on all day! If this is classified as two questions, I am most happy to split this into two separate question threads.


title: Will villagers fall to their deaths or exhibit other suicidal behavior?

text: My villagers are all dead and I'm trying to suss out why. Passive mobs (pigs and such) won't walk off a cliff on their own if the drop would be enough to kill them. Will villagers? What other ways can they kill themselves when i'm not looking? Will they walk into fire? Hug a creeper? Walk into the nether? Walk into a lake looking for a door at the bottom? (and while I'm at it, are iron doors enough to keep them safe from such hazards?)


title: How to cope with choking when playing games?

text: It happens to me all the time, especially on rhythm games, but also on other action and fighting games where flawless performance is crucial. I've practiced a very tough level several dozen times, and I'm getting really close to finish it flawlessly (like full combo, or something like that). And then when I start my perfect run push, as I get closer to finishing the level, at the very end I choke and I end up doing some stupid mistake I wouldn't do otherwise. I can't say how many times I've seen a result screen like this: ![orz](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mDHUO.png) On the other hand, if I make a mistake early on the level, I know I'm not going to finish it perfectly, so I can flawlessly clear the later part of the level. I think it has something to do with unconscious movement. If I'm doing the level unconsciously, probably even thinking about something else, I do it pretty well; but when my brain senses I'm close to finally doing a perfect run, I get nervous, and my consciousness, who sucks at playing games, takes over and I end up making really stupid mistakes. In the end, when I actually flawlessly finish the level, it is more because I managed to somewhat finish the game consciously, rather than because I actually practiced. With levels with really tough endings, I can do more than a few hundred runs and never actually get to finish them, just because I get nervous at the very end. How can I stop choking when playing games?


title: What perk effects work on off-perk weapons?

text: Sometimes you want to be a little naughty and want to use weapons that aren't your perk weapons - maybe your sharpshooter really fancies that flare revolver or the scope on that SCAR, or perhaps your commando thinks it would be a good idea to have a medic gun handy. What perk effects, if any, work on off-perk weapons?


title: Should I sponsor an organization which aims to get more women into technology?

text: I recently got this message from my employee: ![Screen clip of in-game message - text below](http://i.stack.imgur.com/E4s73.png)   "Hi Boss! A friend of mine is greatly involved in an organization which aims to get more women into technology. They are looking for a sponsor and I thought that this would be a perfect opportunity for us. Would you like to help out?" **What are the advantages and disadvantages of sponsoring the organization or declining the offer?**   Is the amount I'm gonna be paying for sponsorship constant? (Is it always 100K like in my screenshot?) Are there factors that affect how much it takes to sponsor this organization?


title: How many different battle pet types are there in Mists of Pandaria?

text: I'm a huge Pokémon fan and found that they are adding the battle pet system in Mists of Pandaria. How many different **TYPES** of battle pets are there? (I understand that there can be different skins for the same type purely for aesthetic values) What are their abilities?


title: How do I earn the "I am a genius!" Achievement?

title: What is next after cargo bay

text: What do I do after I have unlocked the cargo bay? I have tried using my time warps but nothing changes over time.So what do I do? I also have now unlocked a coin multiplier.


I have been using tournament tickets and have reached Gold badge, but on the start screen where the Find Game and all of those things are, it has a gray tiny square on it. Why can't my Tournament level badge show up?


title: What's the best strategy for jumping on grenades?

text: Consider the following scenario: as a pyro, I turn a corner and notice an enemy grenade on the ground. I know there's not enough time to run. Will I take less damage by reflecting it or by leaving it as it is? My intuition is that players take less self-damage from explosives than from enemy fire, but I'm not sure if the fact that the grenade becomes a mini-crit offsets that self-damage reduction. For the sake of the question, assume no teammates are around for me to shield from damage. Also assume that I've got a flamethrower that can airblast and have adequate ammo. Answers with actual damage formulas to back it up are encouraged.


title: When do you get disconnected from your current game in diablo 3?

text: When you go afk while in a game you'll get disconnected after some time. My question is how long is this time, and does it affect the time it needs to disconnect you if you either let the game run as it is, or pause it by pressing escape?


title: How to change direction of boulder

text: In Dungeon Keeper II, I encountered a bonus mission, where I'm asked to 'guide' boulders from boulder traps to squash dwarves around the map. I have tried to slap them as suggested in DK wiki, but I can't see any effect. What exactly determines the direction of a boulder when I slap it?


title: Is there a canonical explanation for the ending of Mass Effect 3?

text: The question can't really be phrased without **spoilers** but I think most people are getting this far by now. > At the end of every ending I've seen thus far we see a large energy surge > going through the Mass Relays that seems to result in them exploding (hence > the shockwave that crashes the Normandy). This seems to imply that most of > the galaxy is now cut off from one another and interstellar travel is going > to grind to a halt until the relays are rebuilt. Do the systems involved end > up destroyed (see DLC content regarding the Bahak system's relay being > destroyed)? Is there a canonical source (comic, dlc, book, game) that would explain if this interpretation is correct?


title: Is there a way to "beat" the opening circus area?

text: When you first start off Silent Hill 3 you begin in a circus. However, as I quickly discovered after accidentally running into a pit and dying, it's just a dream sequence which you wake up from after dying. Is there any "end" to this circus world which forces me to wake up, or do I just wander around aimlessly until I die?


title: What strategy is working against Geth Primes?

title: How can I run GOG's Empire Earth on my Windows 7 x64 system?

text: I recently purchased Empire Earth Gold Edition from GOG.com. Unfortunately, I've yet to be able to actually play it. System Specs:   * Make/Model - HP EliteBook 8530p    * OS - Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1    * CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 @ 2.3 GHz    * RAM - 4 GB    * Video - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650    * Video Driver Version - 8.911.4.1000  Problem: When running the shortcut, I see the Empire Earth splash screen and then it switches to a full-screen black window with a "spinning circle" cursor for a few seconds. After this, the window minimizes. In the background, I can hear the game's intro and title screen running, but I can't restore the game window no matter what I do. Troubleshooting:   * Updated video drivers from HP's website.   * Installed June 2010 edition of DirectX, as suggested by GOG.com.   * Attempted Compatibility Mode settings:      * Windows 2000     * Disable visual themes     * Disable desktop composition     * Run as Administrator   * Closed background programs:      * Firefox     * Thunderbird     * Pandora     * TrueCrypt     * Trillian     * Some others   * Run in Virtual Machine      * VirtualBox 4.1.8     * Guest Additions installed     * Single processor     * 2 GB RAM     * 128 MB Video RAM     * Windows XP Pro 32-bit SP3     * June 2010 edition of DirectX installed     * Game crashes immediately after splash screen I'd much rather be able to run the software natively in the host OS, but I'll settle for getting it to work in the VM if it can be done. Is there anything else I should try? I did e-mail GOG.com support, but was wondering if anyone here might have an answer before they can get back to me.

text: I have salvaged quite a few items to extract "precious" minor runes. Sadly my bank has become quite cluttered with runes now. Is there a way to combine say 3 of the same rune to get the next level? Or can I put 4 into the mystic forge and get a new possibly higher teir rune?


title: Key for gadget 1 selection doesn't work

text: I have a huge problem with the key `3` which is default for the gadget 1 (rocket launcher, medpack and more). The problem is basically, that it doesn't matter what key I assign to that gadget 1 selection, it doesn't work. I even tried a mouse button and my joystick to make it work. I can't use this selection! I always have to use the mouse wheel to select my first gadget. Does someone has an idea what I need to do? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GmNCV.jpg)


title: What are the biggest gameplay differences between Lips and Singstar?

text: I'm trying to decide on a singing/karaoke game and I'm not sure whether to go with Lips or Singstar, as I own both a 360 and a PS3. I was wondering what types of gameplay differences there were between the two games in regards to single player depth and party play, how large the DLC libraries are, and what kind of compatibility between other games the microphones have/accept. I have a Rock Band 1 microphone, and my entire collection of GH/RB is on 360, so I'm leaning towards Lips for that reason, though I'm not sure if Lips accepts the RB1 mike. Lips lets you import your own music which I didn't know until I read that question, which is one of the biggest appeals for me. Does Singstar offer the same?

title: How to use the Playstation shop when it's not available in your region?

text: While I am a proud PS3 owner, I live in a country where the PSN isn't really available and as a direct result have absolutely no access to the Playstation Shop, unless I create a fake account which "lives" in some other country which does have access to the shop. Of course, from what I understand, that won't get me far since my credit card won't match my declared location. I know there are ways around it and to my best of knowledge this circumvention of the system does not constitute as anything illegal, correct me if I'm wrong (after all, I'm just trying really hard to give them money in exchange for services). I am aware there are guides for this, but plenty are outdated and some not so trustworthy. I'd much rather rely on the experience of the fine people of this site (or on their recommendations of a specific guide). Also, there are some specific issues which concern me more than others:   * Where is a recommended place to buy PSN prepaid cards _online_. Why is said place recommended?   * Are there any considerations regarding multiplayer/region/whatever when buying PSN games in this "illegitimate" manner?   * Will the games I buy with my fake account behave nicely on my actual account?   * What if at some point in the future the Playstation store becomes available over here? Will it affect me in some adverse manner?

text: After completing the "Scheduled for Execution" quest in Oblivion, the game always tells me that a guard died and I have lost the bonus for that contract. The problem is, all the guards are alive, even after that message is displayed. Does anyone know what causes this, and if there is a workaround? I suspect that this is a bug caused by killing Captain Gepard Montrose earlier, before starting this quest. During the quest, he is alive again, and I'm guessing that the game is remembering that he was killed previously even though the quest has revived him.


title: Skyrim the Ebony Warrior

text: I have recently come across the Ebony warrior and was wondering what level he is? And what weapons are the most effective against him. I have died like 6 times now...


title: Which NPCs can you keep for the longest time while playing through the trilogy?

text: I'm planning to play the Big World Project version of the Baldur's Gate games. I'd like to have a standard party with one fighter, one thief, one priest, and one mage. Which of the NPCs should I take if my goal is to keep them as long as possible? What should be the class of the main character?


title: Odd PS3 Problem Error Number 80710092

text: I am currently without regular, sustained, access to a computer. This is forcing me to use my PS3 much like one, namely for surfing the interweb. I'm also a regular on Spacebattles, which some of you may know of. Today, while trying to access Spacebattles I received the Error 80710092. Now, being an individual with access to Google I proceeded to look it up. Nearly every result is invalid for my problem, relating directly to loss of connection to PSN. I have connection to PSN and I have internet, clearly. What I don't have is access to Spacebattles. Does anyone know why I'm getting this very peculiar error, in particular, how I can fix it?


title: Are there any consequences for not beating the Luca Goers in FFX?

text: I've just started playing through FFX HD Remaster on my Vita, and I've been beaten by the Luca Goers, aside from my wounded pride is there any reason I shouldn't just carry on? I know I can beat them if I try a few times, but I don't want to if there isn't a good reason.


title: Is looting barrels, crates, chests, etc.. the only way to acquire provisioning ingredients?

text: The longer term buffs from provisioning recipes seem more convenient compared to the short term ones you get from Alchemy potions. However, acquiring ingredients seems cumbersome if you can only loot them from barrels and crates. Is there a pattern where crates or barrels contain certain types of ingredients, or is it all random?


title: How can I play Doom using Doom Engine on a Mac?

text: I saw recently that John Romero tweeted that the best modern way to play Doom is to download the Doomsday Engine. I did this for my Mac, but it doesn't come with the WAD Files, which are required to play the game. I did an online search and it seems that these aren't freely available, but I can't find a MAC Version of the game for purchase. If I buy the Windows or Linux versions of Doom, will the WADs therein be compatible with the Doomsday Engine for Macintosh? If so, how can I extract just the WAD files from the installer, if any?


title: How can I maximize the number of troops recruited from Visiting Monarchs?

text: When I defeat another country, I always recruit 10% of the their troops to join my army. But when I defeat a visiting monarch, the number of troops that I recruit seems to vary quite a bit. Naturally, I must recruit as many troops as possible, so what strategy can I use to recruit the most troops from a visiting monarch?


title: Does tenacity decrease Warwicks ult damage?

text: **Tenacity** reduces the time of crowd control effects(such as a suppress) So if we take Warwick's ult : > ACTIVE: Warwick blinks to target enemy champion, suppressing the target for > 1.8 seconds and damaging the target 5 times in 1/3-second intervals. Warwick > gains 30% life steal for the duration. Each of his strikes triggers on-hit > effects and benefits from life steal and full stacks of Eternal Thirst. And he uses his ult on a champion with 35% tenacity making the suppress last for 1.17.   This is not enough time to do 5 attack with a 1/3 second interval. Does this mean that he will only do 3 attacks? or will he still do damage after the target has broken free?


title: What does leadership do?

text: Damage and range are obvious, but I can not figure out how important leadership is. How much does it matter, how does it influence my soldiers?


title: Is it possible to list all of the Steam games I have downloaded?

title: Do mods or console use disable achievements for Fallout:New Vegas?

text: I've heard mixed information on this and I'd like to get a straight answer, for two reasons:   1. The widely reported Quicksave/Autosave bug is annoying and, quite frankly, has terrified me into completely abandoning both features. However, manually saving is, to say the least, extremely cumbersome. In FO3, I used the console 'SAVE' command to create named save files without any menu navigation, and it was awesome. I've been afraid to do so in _New Vegas_ however, for fear that, as reported, it will disable achievements on my save file.   2. Similarly, now that the game has been out for a few days, Mods are beginning to appear, and a few of them look like big QoL improvements. Most notably, stuff like the return of DarnUI, to fix the horridly large print menus, and Imma Sightin Mah Lazor, to add Iron Sights to the Laser Pistol. But again, not worth it on my first playthrough if they ruin my hard earned Nerd Points on Steam. Since I've heard conflicting information on this, I'd love to get a definitive answer, but sadly, having earned the 'low hanging fruit' achievements you can get without a whole fresh playthrough or a lot of grinding with a specific weapon type, I have no easy way to test this.


title: How do I get the wood off?

text: I'm stuck on the "Dam that Lake" quest in Deathspank. I need to drain the lake to get one of the orphans. I've picked up the Wooden Rimmed Wheel at the dam, but I can't use it as is. The description of it says "This wheel sort of looks like a gear, just need to get that wood off." I've tried combining it with all the items in my inventory at the moment, but none of them work. In case this info is helpful, these are the non-quest items currently in my inventory:   * 11 Hairs of the Pixie   * Taco   * 15 Cherry Pits   * Cherry Red Paint   * 2 Greem Anvils   * 19 Ophan's Left Shoes   * 3 Fancy Felts So what item do I need/what do I need to do to get the wood off? P.S. - I know I could use a Fortune Cookie, but I'd rather ask you guys instead.

title: What are the most effective ways to increase land value?

text: I've seen land value increases with the placement of Hospitals and Fire Houses, I assume parks do the same thing (though it seems like a much smaller increase). What are some effective ways I can get the most land value increase for my simoleon? If you can expand your answer to discuss both early game increases (I don't have 150k to spend on expensive public works projects) and later in the game, that would be most helpful.

title: Free to play games go missing in the Steam library

text: I added the Free-To-Play Team Fortress 2 to my favorite games in the Steam library, and played the game. After reinstalling steam, the game went missing from the library completely - it does show up in neither favorites nor recently played games. All other games work perfectly fine. I am logging in to the correct account and did not mess around with Steam in any way. I can still install/play the game by going to its store page, but that's cumbersome. Is there any way to fix this?

title: Does accuracy affect in-hand weapon sway or just how accurate bullets are?

text: I've noticed there's two major factors that affect my accuracy; random spread of bullets _after_ the leave the barrel, and the character physically swaying their weapon. Some weapons (notably SMGs) sway so much it's _painful_ to operate them zoomed. Is this a function of accuracy or is weapon sway one of the hidden weapon stats? I can deal with inaccurate bullets (I use SMGs) but inaccurate _aiming_ drives me insane. I'm not talking about recoil (unless the stats are related), guns do this when aiming before firing as well. If a gun has low accuracy, will it sway? If a gun sways, will it always have low "post barrel" accuracy as well?

title: Can I become leader of the Thieves' Guild without finishing the main chain and is there any benefits from being the leader anyway?

text: I completed the quest where you get the Skeleton Key and I don't really want to continue the chain until I've done a lot of the other stuff in the game, since the key is so useful. Brynjolf said before that I would become leader of the guild after everything was over. Can I become the leader anyway without finishing the Nightingales quest chain? Are there any bonuses for being the leader?


title: Can I access enemy information during battles in FFXIII?

text: In Final Fantasy XIII, most enemy units have protection and/or weakness against certain damage types. Is there any way for me to view this information **during a battle**? Are there any symbols on the edge of the screen I can learn to decode that show this information? I know it can be viewed in the Data Log menu outside of battles, but I don't have the energy to try and remember such things.

title: How can I avoid drop hacks and crash hacks on Battle.net?

text: From time to time I play StarCraft: Brood War on Battle.net since it's still a pretty good game even after all the years. The only problem I have are players that come and mass drop hack everyone, or even worse, mass crash hack (causing Starcraft to crash) everyone playing games. I have found some programs that claim to help protect against drop hacks online but I don't know if I can trust them. I also didn't find programs to protect against crash hacks although I think they exist (because people in SC tell me they do). Does anyone know of a way to deal with this problem?


title: Tiny Death Star assignments and the galactic registry changes

text: I have been playing tiny Death Star for awhile and about two weeks ago I completed all the assignments on the imperial levels. I thought maybe I needed to add more imp levels to get new assignments but that doesn't seem to be the case. Also the galactic registry changed to normal bitizens and I lost the deep core bitizen. I tried to find a solution to this problem. One said to delete the game and start over but this was for Game Center issues not this one. I saw that someone asked about this but the question wasn't worded right I guess but one reply said it is an Apple problem at the end but it didn't say if the person found a solution. I want to know if I should restart from beginning which is okay with me or is it just a programming issue with the operating systems on apple products and hope for a fix from Disney?


title: What kind of XP bonus can i get in multiplayer?

title: World in Conflict--are there still servers out there?

text: I recently played World in Conflict at a friend's house (single player), and I liked it a lot. It's not very expensive (complete edition is 19.99 now), but I don't want to buy it if there's nobody to play with online. Are there still servers out there?


title: What is the operational range of the NCR Emergency Radio?

text: After gaining some reputation with the NCR a ranger ran up to me and delivered a NCR Emergency Radio to me, which can apparently be used to call for support and backup. However, it only works within "NCR Operational Area", and apparently Bitter Springs, ostensibly a NCR camp, isn't in that area. So what is the operational area of the NCR emergency radio in which I can call for help?


title: What is the best way to level transmutation in Everquest 2 if you got a late start

text: I've been playing EverQuest 2 Extended with my after quitting WoW several months ago. Not used to the tradeskill system in EQ we didn't realize you started with the transmutation skill instead of having to learn it, so I didn't start transmuting anything until I hit level 15. Unfortunately, by then I'd gotten rid of most of my low level gear. Low level mobs won't drop me items since they're grey, and finding rare mats to craft Mastercrafted quality items takes forever and since the highest level item I can make of the first tier is level 2, they rarely give skillups. Is there a better way to do this? We're on bronze accounts so we can't use the broker or anything, and my limited bank slots are filling up with gear that I could disenchant if I could just get to X or Y or Z level transmutation.


title: How do I uninstall StarCraft II on OS X?

text: I can't seem to find an obvious way of uninstalling StarCraft II on OS X. What's the standard procedure for this? For what it's worth, I've found two directories that are obviously related to StarCraft II so far.   * `/Applications/StarCraft II`   * `~/Library/Application Support/Blizzard/StarCraft II` A few other points to consider:   * Is it easy enough to reinstall the game later?   * Do I have to worry about deleting save games or is that all stored on the server?

title: What would this horadric cube recipe exactly do?

text: I am in act 2 of Diablo 2 (nightmare) and am getting better runes every now and then, around Amn, Sheal etc I have an amazon companion with a bow I found that is good. It is rare with +100% or so damage and +50 poison damage and some to attack rating. Now I saw this recipe in arreat summit: > 1 Ort Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Normal (Basic) Rare Weapon = > Exceptional Rare Weapon > > The item type is upgraded. Before perhaps ruining my hireling's bow, I would like to know, does this recipe reroll the properties of her bow? If not, does it affect them in any way, for example make the properties stronger as well as the weapon base itself?


title: How do I get out of third person view?

text: So, I've finally obtained the Werewolf form. After returning out of the form, fully naked... I seem to be stuck in third person view! How can I fix this? Scrolling or pressing `F` does not work. I want to get back in first person view... * * * Mouse wheel allows to zoom in/out but not get me into the first person view but rather behind and slightly to the right of the character. The command `animcam` locks me at a certain distance, doing it again brings me back into the mode that I'm stuck in third person view. Hitting `F` after this doesn't work. `tfc` doesn't help me either, although that command is nice to take screenshots...

title: Where can I find a full list of dungeons?

text: In order to figure out how each dungeon is cleared, it would be very nice to have a full list of them. I have heard that there are 130, is that correct? Where can I find a list of dungeons in Skyrim? UESP seems to list places in general, but has no dungeons category. Wikia, the site I don't really trust these days, seems to list only 14 dungeons; but given that there would be I think that is unfinished...

title: How to beat Harada Tekken? (Soul Calibur 5)

text: How can you beat the Harada Tekken bonus character in Soul Calibur 5? I have tried every character, and I am rather proficient in most of them, but he performs a moveset that is literally impossible to do as a human person. He can chain together 4 lightning strikes, which is not possible for a human player to do, That being said, how can you beat him? When the computer cheats, the only way to win is to be cheap about it. So what strategy works the best against him? I cannot, for the life of me, defeat him.

title: Minecraft Biome Modification? (SMP)

text: I host a SMP server on a VPS and lately there's been a couple of hard crashes at the hosting facility which has caused some interesting biome glitches. The initial spawn area and the surrounding blocks were forest/rainforest when the world was first created. Also I claimed a rainforest island and started working on it, putting easily 60 hours into developing it so far. However, because of the crashes, it seems that the biomes are glitched. Now instead of being a nice lush rainforest, I'm living in TUNDRA. I even checked with the biome checking plugin for bukkit and it seems that the biome for my island has totally switched. My question is, how can I fix this? Is there a bukkit plugin or some kind of editor that I can use?

Now, the manual says: > .. the Quen absorbs all damage directed at you, and the upgraded version > reflects 50% of the damage at the enemy .. Is it time-based, that is, am I protected 100% during this time, or is there a maximum damage level it can absorb, after which I am unprotected? Because I am pretty sure my vitality did drop while in battle with the Quen up.


title: Can I highlight other parts of the status line with the Statuscolors patch?

title: Skyrim autosaves

text: Recently I have begun to play Skyrim as I once played it but never really carried it on. However, I have reached a problem. For example, during the quest Bleak Falls Barrow - upon completion I noticed that the whole level had been broken up into 4 or 5 autosave segments. I liked this as I could easily load one of them and play from any which part in the level. The same can be said for gameplay outside of levels, as it keeps a charter if you will of my progress, it makes autosaves automatically where I find them to be most important so that I can replay a point in time if I wish to correct something. Today, however I played it again to find that these autosaves made during the level are not there anymore - why is this the case?


title: Is it more efficient to wait or is there an efficient distance to travel?

text: For the purposes of resetting NPCs and respawning items, it can take—at most—up to 30 days (720 hours) of in-game time. There is an option to wait and there is an option to fast travel. Each passes time. If I want to expedite the process of passing time, in order to respawn at a certain location, is it more efficient to wait or fast travel? If the latter, between whence and whereto? Between which two places is the most efficient? I guess hard drive speed factors in.

title: How do I hit the monster drum fill in Rob The Prez-O-Dent?

text: I come to you, sages of gaming.se, with a very large problem. Day in, day out, I find myself stumped by a certain drum fill in the song Rob The Prez-O-Dent, found in the nightmarish depths of Rock Band 2's cave. The fill moves at inhuman speeds in spite of its massive size. I can only conclude that the fill...the fill is a monster. A monster slaughtered during the 0:15-0:18 section of this video. That cry at the end could have only belonged to another of its kind, however, and so the video is useless to a human being. I train hard, having brought the monster into practice mode and having worked up from 50% speed all the way to 80% speed. However, just as with the chorus of Guns of Summer, I am unable to understand the monstrous fill at 90%, and as a result, at...100%(I shudder at the very thought). Even if I could fully understand the appearance of the monster, to strike so fast with both my drumsticks and my right foot in such different ways seems incredibly difficult...I fear that in overcoming the monster, I may become the monster myself. Alas, I digress. Can any of the sages here at gaming.se show me how I might overcome this challenge? Tell me of rudiments I should practice, rhythms I should tap out, or a secret weakness, such as a pattern, in the grotesque appearance of the monster fill?

Currently, I'm unsure as to how much I am felling, so I want to be sure I can control it before I accept. On the other hand, I'm worried that if I don't accept I might have a fight with them. Is there a way to ensure that my tree felling falls under 100 and are there any negative sideaffects to accepting the treaty (other than running out of wood)? What ways can I gather wood other than to fell trees (ie trading, cheating the treaty)? Also, what are the negative side effects to rejecting or breaking the treaty? Are they the same?


title: A good tactic for mining hellstone?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How can I navigate and mine hell safely? I'm wondering if there's a good tactic for mining hellstone. Since I have full Shadow armor, and still I get killed damn easily by mobs in Underworld, is there something I'm missing? Should I get some special equipment?

title: How do I play Starcraft 2 offline?

text: How to I play StarCraft 2 offline? When I start StarCraft 2 offline (my network connection disabled), it prompts me for my Battle.net account name. After entering my account name, I select play offline. It then tells me that offline play authorization is required. When I'm online, I can login to Battle.net with no problem and play. I searched around and couldn't find anything within the game to authorize my game client. I'm running StarCraft 2 on a Mac OS X 10.6.4. **Edit** : I can login and play online. Afterward it still doesn't let me play offline. **Edit 2** : This appears to be a common problem, see gamespot, yahoo and blizzard.


title: How can I interrupt auto-end-turn?

text: When I turn on "Single Player Auto End Turn" in the game options I don't have to hit enter to move to the next turn. Trouble is the game can run on auto for quite a lot of turns (esp. on "marathon"). Sometimes an "exploring" unit finds something and I want to tweak the course that has been set, but I'm powerless until the next user event. Is there some way I can cut in and get control back? A keyboard shortcut? It's not "esc".


title: Why can't I purchase the full version of Magic 2014 on Steam?

title: Why is there snow in my sunken rooms?

text: So I've been experimenting with sunken rooms (where the house in general is built on a foundation, but some rooms are built lower on ground level with modular stairs making them accessible from the rest of the house). My house currently has 3 such rooms:   * Living room   * Part of the bedroom   * Study Unfortunately, given that it appears that there's snow on the floor of 2 of these rooms (bedroom and living room), I'm guessing there's a problem with the ceiling. Here's how I built the rooms:   1. Place foundation for the room   2. Build the walls   3. _constrainfloorelevation false_   4. Remove foundation   5. Place bottom section of wall   6. Auto-level walls My roof is basically just a 2nd story that I've surrounded with one of the small walls (not the "waist height" ones). I've taken some screenshots to help clarify what's going on.


title: How do I recover the items in a chest in my spouse's home that disappeared after moving?

text: I married Sylgja before I had my own home (I know her clothes aren't all that appealing but console commands yo) and I left my alternate armor sets in the chest at the foot of her bed. Later I had her move into Honeyside in Riften with me but when I returned for my other armor at her old house (after LOTS of important quests, mind you), it was all gone and there was just a ruby and some gold in the chest. I want to know if all of my gear is gone forever or if there's a place in my home, her home, or, well, anywhere, where I can get it back.


title: Do all characters in Don't Starve build the same items?

text: When you unlock new characters in Don't Starve they clearly have different strengths, weaknesses and personalities. Do they also build different items, or do they build the same items differently to match their personalities? ( _e.g._ Do they have different raw material requirements?, etc.) I'm curious about this because of the potential impact on survival strategies this could have.


title: How do I prevent Tiny Death Star from crashing when trying to collect an imperial items reward?

text: So i'm playing Tiny Death Star on Windows Phone and recently encountered an issue, where the game would crash whenever I tap 'collect reward' on the imperial items screen, thus causing the reward not being collected. In other words, it is impossible for me to collect the rather hefty reward of 70,700, or any reward after it. Do you guys know how to avoid this problem?


title: What's the name of the card game in Final Fantasy 8?

text: In Final Fantasy 8 there was a really addictive card game that kept me occupied for many, many days. The basics of the game were:   1. There was a board with 9 cells.   2. You could select a given amount of cards at the start of the game (I forget how many).   3. Each card had a number on each of its edges ranging from 1-A.   4. Players take turns placing their selected cards into an unoccupied cell of their choice.   5. If an adjacent card owned by the other player has a lower score on the touching edge, you gain control of the card.   6. Player with control of the most cards once all cells are filled wins. There were also some other tactics that involved a bit of basic math to take over two adjacent cards regardless of score if you met certain criteria, etc. Does anyone know if this game was based off a real card game? I'd like to track it down. A digital version would be even better!

title: Producing and using Great People effectively?

text: I'm pretty much ignoring Great People (Great Scientist, Great Engineer, Great Merchant and Great Artist), excluding the Great General which works very different from the other four Great People. I don't actively try to get them, but they are of course nice to have and I use them if I get them. I'm wondering now   * how one can increase the generation of Great People?   * is it useful to focus on the production of specific Great People?   * can a Great People-focused strategy be effective?

text: I found some pretty old info on the web but I couldn't reproduce the results ingame (patched to current version) * * * **Claim:** Stacking S1 missile / S2 area / S3 enchant gives the best results. I tried this yesterday but somehow the enchant carrier gets removed if I apply an effect card to S2. Is this another thing they silently patched?


title: Is there a way to reveal invisible characters in Awesomenauts?

text: Some characters in Awesomenauts can become invisible. Is there a way to see them until they actually go out of stealth from their own decision? So far, the only way I see is to actually bump physically into one, because it blocks you. Is there a skill from one of the characters, or something to do to reveal an invisible player?


title: Are there any intrinsic benefits to leveling up?

text: As opposed to most MOBA style games, increasing your health in Awesomenauts appears to be mostly reliant on buying specific health upgrades. Additionally, you purchase abilities (and upgrades) via money, not levels. In fact, nearly everything seems to be based on the amount of money that you've gained as opposed to character levels. For example: since you can't (that I know of) see your actual HP numbers, there's no easy way to determine if the simple act of leveling up gives you any additional HP. So I'm wondering what exactly happens when your character levels up (in a round)?

title: Prince of Persia (2008): Quick Response Prompts

text: I am looking for some help with getting a better grasp on the combat system in Prince of Persia (the cel-shaded iteration from 2008). I do well enough through most everything else, but the quick prompt combat queues are beyond me. Can anyone help me with better anticipating the prompts that accompany the combat. Im not terrible at executing the combos, but hitting the right key (playing on the pc) leaves me at a total loss. I'm sure that there is a degree of motor response that I may be lacking, but any help would be appreciated.


title: Are there any PS3 Backwards Compatible Fighting Sticks?

text: I have a 60 GB PS3 that can play Playstation 2 games. Are there any fighting sticks for the Playstation 3 that will work with PS2 fighting games? If so, are there any that absolutely will not work? Edit: Shoryuken forums advise the following for mid-range PS3 sticks: "PS3 owners, get either the HRAP3: SA or the Mad Catz TE. If backwards compatibility is important to you, get a HRAP:SA." Does that mean the Mad Catz TE doesn't support backwards compatibility?


title: Is there a way to tell how many more times I can use an item?

text: There are a few new items in Mario Kart 8 that have a variable amount of uses to them such as the boomerang flower and fireball. Is there a way to tell how many more times you can use these items or should I just mash them as fast as I can whenever I start using them like the golden mushroom from the previous games?


title: Can you make the game save regional match making setting?

text: Before you start your queue you can set up matchmaking settings. There you have _Game Modes_ , _Region_ and _Language_ options. Now I have set them all up to my liking, but I have a problem with regional setting. The game seems to save/remember all other settings I've selected except in which regions do I want to play. So every time I start the game, I have to pick regions all over again. Is this some kind of bug, or is the game made that way? Is there a way to make the game remember my region settings too?


title: Can you trade treasure boxes with other players?

And if it's possible to trade them, do people usually want to trade things for them?


title: How do I lower the cost of my missile spell?

text: I found some pretty old info on the web but I couldn't reproduce the results ingame (patched to current version) * * * **Claim:** a missile spell is cheaper if you use a section 2 enchant carrier to apply the effect. I tried this and it seems to be wrong/outdated.   * S1 missile + earth = 30 mana    * S1 enchant + earth = 35 or 45 mana   * S1 missile / S2 enchant + earth = 50 mana Is there something I'm missing?


title: Siddgeir - 'Kill the Bandit Leader' quest bugged, can't receive reward and complete quest

text: I want to do the Jarl's quest in Falkreath to be able to build a house. I seem to be stuck at the "Kill the Bandit Leader" quest.   * I was sent to kill the Bandit Leader in Knifepoint Ridge.   * I had not been there previously.   * I killed the leader and returned to Siddgeir.   * I talk to him and click the Reward dialogue option.   * He says he will give me the reward but doesn't give me anything, and if I choose to talk to him again I can still see the reward dialogue option.   * Clicking it simply doesn't complete the quest. This is frustrating! Skyrim is a great game but these critical bugs are STILL present.

title: What happens to the skill's XP upon training?

text: I'm levelling up my skills via the (player.)"incPCS" console command (don't judge me) and noticed that the XP-progression-to-the-next-level of the skill seems to stay at the same ratio. So, it got me wondering, does training work the same way? Or is it only the console command that causes the skill to keep the same XP progression, despite levelling? E.g., if it took only one more successful pickpocket or one more hitting-a-damageable-thing-with-a-one- handed-weapon to level up those respective skills, would it still only take one more successful use to level it up after training the skill?


title: Questions about the Xbox One deal (free game) going on next week (Sept. 7 - 13)

text: Next week Microsoft is offering a deal where if you buy an Xbox One, you get a new game of your choice for free. You can also get the deal with their various bundles as well. Meaning that if you bought their Madden 15 Xbox One bundle, you would get Madden 15 included, as well as a free game of your choice (most likely Destiny in my case). The thing is, I can't find any Madden 15 bundles that have a Kinect included (which I want). Similarly, my friend would like to do the deal and get the Forza bundle, but he can't find any Forza bundles that don't have a Kinect (which he doesn't want). Luckily for us, if we have to we can both take part in the deal and just buy each other's bundles and swap games, but ideally we wouldn't have to do that. I get the Forza bundle because it came out when the Kinect was mandatory when buying an Xbox One, but why would the Madden 15 bundle not have an option for Kinect or no Kinect? Or does it and I've just missed it?

title: I used cheats to get into the college of winterhold and now it is completely broken

text: Well, I talked to the master mage at the front gate and persuaded her. She asked me to cast magelight and I did and it didn't work. I used the noclip command to go through the gate and I got into the college. When I got in I had to listen to the mage. It gave me a quest to talk to him. In the middle of it I left. Now Faralda won't let me in at all and I have no dialogue options to do anything but buy stuff from her or ask about the college. I need a cheat to start the quest over or complete the first part of the quest.


title: Is there a way to level up only once when I have XP for more than one level-up?

text: A level-up only happens when you choose which stat to increase. Otherwise, you stay the same level. However, if more than one level-up is buffered, when you go to stat-up, you must level-up all at once. Is there a way to stat-up only as many times as one wishes and save buffered levelling for later? Being able to do so would allow training on levels-that-are-before-the-level-you're- supposed-to-be.

title: How can I collect all the Snow Globe Trading Cards with many restrictions on my account?

text: Since I'm home for Christmas I was interested in buying some steam games to fill my library. My account was basically unused as I made it over 1 year ago with the same intentions but never got around to it. I'm at a new IP address and have changed my password as I forgot my original one. Now I'm really getting into the steam community but am finding it hard to collect the snow globe trading cards. Because of this for some reason I'm not able to buy a $0.35 item on the market place yet I'm able to buy a $50.00 game? This limits me in so many different ways such as not being able to complete the steam community challenge. I could complete it a bit easier if they would fix the uploading videos from youtube option but theres already multiple questions on that. Even thought I might spend over $100 I already spent over $40 but only received 3 cards even after waiting more than 24 hours. So in combination with a card every $10.00 spent and reaching level 5 I think I can receive all 10 cards to craft the badge but it's the ladder option that's the tricky part I need help with. Like... crafting badges is basically out of the question because you don't receive card drops for the whole set so you're forced to wait for a card booster pack which would most likely take longer than I have or trade for the remaining cards which is not an option for me. So please post my options if any, or am I just forced to spend over $100.00.

title: What is the behavior of achievements for Super Street Fighter 4 when playing the Arcade Edition DLC?

text: In Super Street Fighter 4, there are many achievements that are linked to actions you take during gameplay. Some of these are: >   * **Fashion Plate:** Even a top rate fighter needs to coordinate properly! > You gotta get all of the Colors first! >   * **Entitled:** A Title does not tell all of a man, sir, but if I were to > see one Title, I'd want them all... >   * **Rival Schooled:** See your future by clearing every Rival Battle on > Medium or higher with every character. >   * **From C to Shining C:** You think you're good, don't you? Prove it by > ranking up all characters to C Rank! > When you download the Arcade Edition DLC, the game gives you the option to switch back and forth between playing on Super Street Fighter 4 or Arcade Edition. The leaderboards are separated among both versions. Will the achievements work when playing on Arcade Edition? Do they change if you play on Arcade Edition? Would taking some actions on Super Street Fighter 4 and others on Arcade Edition activate the achievement? Some examples:   * For **Fashion Plate** , would I get the achievement if I obtain all colors for the 35 fighters of Super Street Fighter 4 or would I need to get all colors for the 4 new characters too?   * For **From C to Shining C** , would I be able to get the achievement by getting rank C for 20 characters on Super Street Fighter 4, and then for the 15 other characters on Arcade Edition? Would it be needed to get to rank C for the 4 new characters from Arcade Edition too?

Pretty sure I've claimed all the one-shot Ultima draw points. Where else can I farm Ultima with the least pain? I know there are Draw points on the Islands closest to Heaven and Hell but that's all I can think of.


title: Enemy road properties

text: **Does movement on enemy roads use your technology level or that of the enemy?** There are several technologies that improve the uses of roads (crossing rivers with Construction, another that gives +1 to movement on roads). Does a unit traveling on enemy roads (using the Commando promotion) benefit from the technology of his enemy, his own technology, or both? Using the enemy technology level would be the most intuitive and visually consistent, since the ability to cross rivers is called _bridge-building_ , and is represented by tiny bridges graphically. Using your own technology, on the other hand, is more consistent with how units work in general. Which is the case?

title: Cumulative effects of Runed Skills

text: The Gloom rune of the demon hunter's Shadow Power skill is as follows: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eMbvK.jpg) Is the 35% reduction in incoming damage _in addition_ to the 15% damage done as Life, or _instead_ of it? I sometimes have difficulty determining this for other runes. For example, the witch doctor's Rabid Dogs rune indicates "Your Zombie Dogs _gain_ an infectious bite..." and "Swallow your Soul" indicates "Gain X mana...". In these cases, the effect specifically indicates that it is in _addition_ ("gain") to the base skill.

title: How do experience bonuses work in co-op?

text: I know _of_ bonuses you can earn in Diablo 3 such as Massacre. It's very simple in single-player, because you're the only one doing any killing. But what happens in co-op?   * Do all players contribute towards the same experience bonuses? I.e, if I destroy 5 barrels while my co-op buddy destroys 3 barrels, do we get an 8 item destruction bonus?   * Does each player battle out for their own bonuses and (essentially) ignore other players?   * Something else entirely?

title: Is there a good way to kill turrets since the update?

text: Since the update for Exoplanet, turrets have basically made playing the game impossible. It is impossible to rob anyone when they have even 1 turret. How can you kill turrets?

title: What is the most efficient layout of track for ascending in a restricted space?

text: So water ladders, booster carts and boat elevators have now been broken in the 1.6 update - I need to find a quick way to get back to the surface after a long mining session! Given that my shaft is 15x15 in size, what is the most efficient usage of tracks for a minecart system to transport me to the surface? I'm assuming that just running a track round the outside of this will be the most wasteful method, and that the fastest will be to make a tight spiral out of booster track (although this will be wasteful in terms of booster track needed). What layout will give me the most speed / shortest travel time for the least amount of track used?

title: Playing used UPlay Games

text: So, my lovely girlfriend bought me a (used) copy of Assassin's Creed II for Christmas, and I finally got around to installing it today (what can I say, I also got Minecraft). Anyway, after installing from the DVD, creating yet another useless account with another useless service, I go to activate the game and I'm told the my access key is already in use by another account. The UPlay website says: > "Uplay PC CD keys are unique and can only be used once. Once they are used, > they are bound to the account that was logged in at the time of initial > activation." So, to my question: am I really as boned as it looks? Is there any way that I can play this game, or did we just buy ourselves a expensive coaster?


title: What affects the rate of filling the Power Bar?

text: Naturally I want to fill the Power Bar as fast as possible, and from just the basics I can see:   * The bar seems to fill when picking up coins   * There are purchasable upgrades, which increase the rate that it charges I'm most curious if the 2x and 3x coins fill it at 2x or 3x the rate, if the amount of "points" to fill it are always the same, and similar nuances like that.
