title: Generation 1 trading?

text: So I'm trying to trade Pokemon between two generation 1 games (Red and Yellow), but I can't quite seem to figure out how. I can find no explanations or guides on the internet anywhere. So I hook my GBA SP and GBA with together with the connector cable, and then in both games go up to the lady in the Poke Centers and talk to her. All she says is "this area is for two friends hooked together by a Gameboy link cable" and that's it. So how do I active the trading process? What do I do?


title: Can underground pools have windows between them and basements?

text: I've seen videos of people making pools on the second floor (and higher up) in houses, and put large windows in them so you could see your sims swimming from the other side of the window. I tried this but underground: building a basement bordering on a pool and putting a window in between them. But for some reason I am unable to put them next to one another: there stays a square in between them with a message from the game. Am I doing it wrong, or is it impossible to do in the first place?


title: Problems with playing Battlefield 2 where "My Documents" are not in the default location

text: I am having a problem with Battlefield 2 in where I receive a error popup on game start (after the intro menus): > LOCERROR_Unable to open current profile. I think this is down to the fact my documents area is stored on my home server, instead of the C:\Users\%username%\Battlefield 2 expected location. If I start the game on a local (i.e no network documents) account I can start and play the game fine, creating a local account. I can then copy the "Battlefield 2" folder created in that accounts documents and place it in My Documents which removes the error show above, but when I try to start a mulitplayer or singleplayer game the game crashes with a black screen back to the desktop. It seems to be a fairly common problem and I have found many references in EA and other forums, although no definitive answer (and the appearance of the evil "I found what the problem was but I'm not going to post it here"). Is there a way, using symlinks or junction points in Windows 7 to get this to work? I've thought about manually creating a "My Documents" Folder on the C:\ drive but am unsure if this will work. Game Info: Battlefield 2, Updated to 1.50. No Mods, although Sandbox had the same problem. The computer is more than capable of running the game. I've checked the registry settings and while there is a "InstallDir" entry which points to the correct place there are no settings that detail a user profile. As an interesting note, it's possible to copy your Battlefield 2 folder to a USB/Portable Hard disk and run it from that (although it's slow to start up initially). Using a network share or drive mappings makes no difference (eg \filesvr\tom$\My Docs or N:\My Docs). Even changing it to a different partition on the same computers disk gives grief. There is a folder created in the Battlefield 2 root directory with the name of my file server and some profile settings created in that. After a clean install of Windows 7 onto a spare machine over the weekend and using the excellent Everything search tool I have found that profile details have also been saved in: > C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\EA > Games\Battlefield 2\[fileserver]\userstore$\[username] ...so I'll try poking around with these files and symlinking/robocopying them to where they should be. Hopefully the end is in sight.


title: Are character names permanent? If I don't like mine, am I totally screwed?

text: My first impulse was to pick my first name just to see if it was available, because I'm used to normal single names schemes where my first name would be a really rare catch. Little did I know, Starcraft II actually has a two name scheme now my username is lame because it's "name (name lastname)" Are there any options other than just buying a new copy of the game?

title: Minecraft alpha 1.2.6 lags when loading new chunks. Anyway to tone down the lag?

text: Recently I've noticed that when I'm loading new chunks in minecraft alpha 1.2.6, it lags. Since this is an **old** version, there might not be a way to combat this, but if there is, how can I tone down the lag? I have 4G RAM and the latest version of Java. My memory usage is at about **20-25%**. Also, I normally get about 60FPS in **small window mode**. (I just like small window better.)


title: Where do I find sacrifice?

text: I have a level 45 Witch Doctor in Diablo 3, and I haven't played in over a year. Maybe even two, it's been a loooong time. I distinctly remember a cool strategy back then was to sacrifice your zombie dogs, but for the life of me I cannot seem to figure out how to do it now. The Diablo 3 website shows it to be available at level 13, yet I can't find the spell. Where do I find Sacrifice?


title: Can I transfer trophies and data to a new account?

text: Okay I have created a sub account on my ps3 as a new user. I wanted to change my psn online id. So I have copied all game data from the old account to my new account, but when I go to play the game it still says the trophies and data belong to the old account. I don't want to delete the old one and lose all my saved games and trophies, is there a way to either unlock and allow my new user to own the data and trophies or transfer the trophies and data so that my new account may own it?


title: Jungle or Lane when lasthitskill is good?

text: I am currently at 1100 elo and would like to get the next 100 points up to 1200 elo. I can lasthit reasonably good, mostly leading in cs in the early/mid stages of the game. I notice that most of the times my team does not have a jungler, and that having one is a real advantage over the enemy team. My question is: Should i switch to a jungler so that we have one, even if it means missing out on farm for my team? What soft skills do i need as a jungler, e.g what should i pay most attention to when going into the jungle? Probably another question, but what else can i do to carry harder? I mostly only lasthit and that means playing safe and not getting many kills mid in favor of harass. cheers


title: Is it possible to change from a PSN Sub Account to a Master Account

text: I brought a Playstation 3 when it was released and I was under 18, so my older brother took the Master Account. Now that I have turned 18 and my brother is moving out, I now have the PS3 to myself however I am still on a sub account. I have tried changing but can't find any way to do this. My brother plans to buy a PS3 in the future keeping the same PSN ID. If it's impossible to change account type then is it possible to give more priviledges to a sub account such as controlling finance, facebook integration etc.

title: Will we need to replay all levels in Mario Kart 7 for 3 stars, gold wheel, VR rating on the new 3DS XL?

text: When the 3DS XL comes out, will we lose all the 3 stars rating, gold wheel, and VR score if we play MK 7 on the new console? I heard in the past that the SD card won't be able to save those data, because it was worried that game players can just duplicate many SD cards that way. But is there some other way, for example, if 3DS can transfer data through WiFi (the StreetPass mechanism), then maybe there can be a way to either copy or move the game achievements to one and only one 3DS console? (or if each game player can log in, and retrieve those achievements on their console... and players usually won't share login with each other).


title: How to effectively level up a craft based character in Skyrim?

text: I am thinking of setting up a "craft based" character is Skyrim - with the challenge to use Smithing/ Enchanting/ Alchemy and Speech to build up wealth while avoiding the normal kill, loot and sell approach. From experience it's hard to make/ sell things without losing a lot of money in the process. For example a leather strip (3 gold) and an iron ingot (7 gold) can be smithed into an iron dagger (10 gold) - which is a grand profit of no gold. Even using enchanting/ soul gems and "high value" enchantments like "Fortify Sneak" don't deliver a good return. Although because previous characters have been combat/ magic/ sneak focussed I haven't put a lot into "Speech" perks. Is there an effective/ profitable approach to a "crafting" style of gameplay or do the in-game economics make it pretty much impossible?


Is there a way to change time in creative mode of Minecraft? Its so hard to find info because things change so fast and old posts aren't removed. So i apologize if this is a repeat.


title: In Mount and Blade Warband, I want to stop being Swadian rebels

text: I tried to help out Lady Isolla of Suno when I had Dhirim and three or four castles. It didn't go well as in addition to the Swadians every other kingdom declared war on me. I thought if I told Isolla I didn't support her anymore than I could stop being a part of Swadian rebels, but I still was being attacked by everyone. So I emptied out my remaining two castles of their garrisons and let them be captured, but I'm still Swadian rebels even though some screens don't list the rebels as a kingdom anymore. Will I ever be able to go back to just being a freelancer and not being chased attacked by everyone?


title: How can I get a Motorized Patriot to stand still long enough to shoot him in the gears?

text: I keep getting popups telling me that I can do extra damage by shooting the Motorized Patriot in the back. ![Motorized Patriot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/TmcQB.jpg) It seems he has incredible hearing, because no matter what I try, he seems to always be facing me. I'm having a really hard time getting him to stand still long enough to blast him in the rear. I've tried using Shock Jockey to stun him, but it wears off before I can get behind him reliably. Birds have no effect on him and he's far too heavy to lift with Bucking Bronco. Possession wears off as quickly as Shock Jockey. **How can I get the Motorized Patriot to stand still long enough to shoot his gears?**

title: How can I make Skip98 work on a laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?

text: My Mother in law was playing to an old freeware Skip-bo game on her Windows XP computer, it's called Skip98. You could still find it by goggling it, but the original site is down. She bought a new Laptop, it came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and I cannot get this old game working on it, I get corrupted graphics. I check this question, but she has Home Premium version, so Microsoft state that : > You are not eligible to download Windows XP Mode. You must have Windows 7 > Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate to run Windows XP Mode. To upgrade > visit Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade. And she is not interested in upgrading to "get a free game working". Meanwhile, I found a browser version, by the same programmer, but she likes to play when she doesn't have Internet access (example, at theirs holiday home). How could I get it to work, or is there any free alternative?

title: How to reach 100% total destruction with the Mighty Eagle in Angry Birds?

text: I recently purchased the Mighty Eagle in Angry Birds for iPhone. To use him, you toss out a can of sardines and the Eagle swoops down to retrieve it, destroying everything in it's path, including all the pigs. If the Eagle destroys everything, you get a feather (you're rated on a percentage scale, e.g. 85% destroyed, 93% destroyed, etc.). Get enough feathers and you earn some achievements. I've been able to earn a few feathers, but haven't figured out what has to happen to get to 100%. Everytime I've earned 100%, there are usually some wood/glass/stone pieces leftover. What criteria does the game use to measure the amount of destruction the Mighty Eagle has wreaked?

Are they supposed to disappear at this point, or is this a bug?


title: How can I view my progress on bonus levels

text: In Angry Birds Space there are some bonus levels that appear when you hit special rocks. The birds get sucked into a mini black hole or something, you do the bonus level, and then they pop back out and you complete the original level. I guess this is to replace the golden egg levels, but I don't see a screen where I can see the ones I've unlocked or finished. Is there an in-game way to view the progress on these extra levels?

title: When is it better to build new towers rather than upgrade?

text: I'm playing the Apprentice, and I often am unsure how I should invest my mana during the build phase. The cost of creating new towers (40 mana in the case of Magic Missile) seems to be significantly less than the cost of upgrading an existing one (100 for the first level, and 200 for the second, for instance) Should I focus on building new towers until I've maxed out my total Defense Units? Would 2 towers in close proximity do more damage than one upgraded tower in a single area? Or will my towers grow significantly more powerful if I upgrade them to the second level at a cost of 100 Mana?

For example, if I were to become a master with a sub- machine gun, would I typically still get owned by average players with assault rifles? I suspect the answer is some variation of "it depends", but certainly some weapons are almost useless in the hands of a noob.

I don't remember this from _Gears_ at launch. What's the deal?


title: Does Water mean my city has a finite lifespan?

text: In the new Sim City recently made available, the amount of water available to a city is finite. The same is true of it's neighbours; limiting what can be bought in -- and if playing with other people they'd seem unlikely to just give you all of their precious water. The other "constant" services that are required (Power, Garbage Collection and Sewage removal) can be basically unlimited. I can use Wind/Solar for Power, incinerate garbage, treat/dump sewage... But... how can I deal with the water in my city running out in a sustainable way?


title: Does every city have a "death watch"?

text: It annoys me to no end that water seems to be a finite resource in every city, and even when importing from other cities it seems to not be enough or stop for no reason after a while. Is there an inherent game mechanic in SimCity forcing people to not play a single city for too long?


title: What do when you run out of water?

text: In SimCity, it is possible to run out of water after you have pumped from an area for a long time. What options do you have to remedy this? Is the only hope buying water from other cities in the region? What happens if all of the cities in the region run out of water? Does it slowly regenerate or does this mean every region/city is bound to eventually run out of water?

title: Is there a way to hotkey unarmed?

text: I am making an unarmed Khajiit called Punchy. I'm planning to give him the fists of steel perk and as high of an unarmed damage enchantment as I can get for my gloves. However, it is annoying that I can't figure out a way to add unarmed to my hotkey (i.e. put away all my weapons and spells and fight with my fists). Is there a way to do this?


Is there a tested way of chatting with WLM contacts in-game while playing Forsaken World?


title: How do I get the "Ow My Balls!" achievement?

text: The description for the "Ow My Balls!" achievement reads as follows:   * `Do your first nutshot AND testicle assault.` I've made several nutshots so far and I've also done several testicle assaults but this achievement hasn't popped for me yet. To that end, I have a few questions about how to get this.   * **Do I have to do a nutshot and a testicle assault on the same enemy?**   * **Do I actually have to kill them _via_ the testicular assault or is it enough to just hit them once with it?** I've so far only been hitting them once with it. Is that not enough?   * **Does it have to be on a male character?** Saints Row 2 allowed you to get nutshots on women, but the testicular assault wasn't in that game, so I'm unsure if this is a requirement here.


title: Which are viable tanks on League of Legends nowadays

text: We all know there are various tank characters on League of Legends, however as the game evolves, I see the Meta-Game being biased towards a team composition made of:   * At least 1 ranged DPS   * 1 Ranged Magic Damage   * 2 Beefy champs   * 1 another beefy or support (Soraka, Taric, Sona etc..) So taking that into account, and knowing the heavy CC in nowadays games, which are viable tanks to play? I really like Alistar, however he has a very poor early game, and in order to do his pulverize he must be in the very core of the battle where usually one is taken down easily. Nasus and Singed both excellent tanks however they don't have escape mechanisms such as Shen or the other newly added tanks, not to mention that if Nasus does not build Trinity Force or Singed at least a RoA they are ignorable chars late game. Which tanks are viable to play in the current game and why? I think Galio, Shen and Maokai are viable options.

title: Steam Backup - exact copy of game directory?

text: I need to reinstall my system and and want to do a completely new clean install. I have everything backed up except Steam. I tried many mods over the years and ended with my own favourite mix for Elder Scrolls Morrowind. I also edited config file, replaced some texture files etc. My question is; if I use the backup feature in Steam to create backup of my Morrowind settings, does it preserve everything inside Morrowind folder - mods, saves, modified ini files etc so when I restore from backup could I use my own modified version the way I left it when making the backup?


title: Giving a minecart momentum with a piston

text: I am trying to setup a situation where I press a button and a minecart is pushed onto some powered track where it is then boosted up and giving a good speed. This is what I tried (cross-section):               [P]M____           ^ piston        ^ minecart         ^^^^ powered track      When I give power to the piston, the minecart gets shoved onto the powered track fine, however it just rests there. In order to get it boosted by the powered track, I have to manually touch it. Is there a way to get the cart boosted automatically when it gets pushed onto the track?


title: What's the difference between the different versions?

text: My brother recently got me interested in Minecraft, and I'm having a lot of fun playing it. The thing is, I've only ever played the Beta version. After I first played it, I found a whole bunch of pictures and videos online with stuff that wasn't in the version I was playing. So I was wondering: What are the main differences between all the different versions of the game?


title: How do you install the FIFA 12 Demo with FIFA 11 also installed?

text: I just downloaded the _FIFA 12 Demo_ , but when I start the `Autorun.exe` I only get a play button, none for installation. If I click it, the _FIFA 11_ startup menu comes up. If I start `EASetup.exe`, it says the game already is installed. Any way to fix this? For clarification: I have _FIFA 11_ installed and I am looking for a way to get the _FIFA 12 Demo_ installed without uninstalling _FIFA 11_. This seems to be a general issue with the demo, I found a german article on the web pointing out this issue as well. What I want to know is if there is a workaround to get the demo installed anyway.


title: Can I get back into Oryx's chamber if I died during the fight?

text: While I was running around on my level 7 Wizard, suddenly, the ground started shaking. I was teleported into a large castle and thrown into some massive fights with several other people. I leveled up twice before we entered Oryx's Chamber. Unfortunately, once we got to fighting Oryx, I was one-shotted by a Ring Element. After I rerolled and spawned back in the Nexus, I tried asking people in chat whether there was any way to get back into Oryx's chamber if I died during the fight, but no one answered. No one answered me in Realm chat either, and Oryx's article on the official site has a link to "Oryx's Chamber", but there's no page created yet. Is there any way for me to rejoin the fight against Oryx if I die, or was this a one-time opportunity and I'm stuck waiting until the next cycle?


title: What can I find in the Sedalia police station?

text: In Walking Dead - Survival Instinct, you have the option of taking on a side quest at the second level (or the town named Sedalia), which involves finding some batteries in the police station. You don't _have_ to take the quest to complete the level, but I've read that there are a lot of interesting and useful things you can pick up rummaging through it. The problem is, that place is _packed_ full of walkers, and getting through every room in the station with enough life to actually proceed to clear the final level is turning out to be extremely hard. I'm getting pretty tired of the level and I'm thinking about just ditching the side quest to complete the main level, but I'm wondering what else might be in that place that I'll wish I'd stuck around to find. So far, I've found:   * A bolt action rifle and a small amount of ammunition   * A revolver, with a small amount of ammunition Is there anything else to be found in this place (besides the batteries, of course)?


title: Do zombie pigmen in the nether, adjacent to a nether portal affect the spawn cap in the overworld?

text: I AFK a lot. My primary AFK location has a nether portal close by (roughly 20 meters). Zombie pigmen spawn occasionally in it, then disappear back to the nether. This morning, I went into the nether, and was greeted by about 50 zombie pigmen. All probably in the same chunk as the portal. Are these pigmen counting against the mob cap in the overworld?

title: How does cover work in Shadowrun Returns?

text: How does cover work? They never really explained it in the game, and there's nothing about it in the help. Does being in cover reduce my chances to be hit? Do I take reduced damage? Does it affect _my_ aim/damage? Can I shoot over full-cover, or only around it _(like in X-Com)_? Do partial- or full-cover block Line-of-Sight? How do I know if I'm flanking or being flanked _(does such a concept even exist)_? Why do I sometimes get a no-cover icon in a seemingly-valid, non-flanked position?

title: ePSXe: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Freezes

text: I've just downloaded ePSXe and I'm having a hard time trying to play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. The intro animation shows correctly and so does the menu, but when I try to play anything, either a Career Mode, a Single Session or a Free Skate, it freezes, bringing me a black screen where nothing shows up and nothing happens. The music continues to play though. I've tried with both CD and ISO. I've also played with the configurations a few times and it didn't help. I didn't have the opportunity to try another game yet, but I'd like to know what might be going on. Is it possible that the problem is being caused by the ISO itself? Any thoughts would be highly appreciated. Thank you!


title: What changes to specific Witch Doctor skills can I make through equipment?

text: Before the game was released, data miners were speculating that each class would have a list of certain modifiers available on equipment that would provide small changes to the way class skills would work (e.g. "reduce cool down of wall of zombies by 2 seconds"). Have the existence of these modifiers on items been confirmed, and is there a list of what ability modifiers are available for Witch Doctor skills? Are there restrictions on what types of equipment they may appear on?

Furthermore, the pets I've got correspond to the ones in the achievement's picture. However, the achievement has not yet popped. What am I doing wrong?


title: Why can't I beat Snowy Granius during the quest Antabolis Informant?

text: This is my first time playing through Morrowind, but I have played Oblivion before. In the quest Antabolis Informant, I met a bandit (Snowy Granius) on a bridge. He is a battlemage, can summon a skeleton, and can cast spells. I tried to kill him with my Khajiit acrobat, and I couldn't hit him. Then I made a Nord warrior, ignored the skeleton he summoned, and started to slash him repeatedly. Although I did damage to him, I still died before him. Why is it so hard to kill him? I didn't try to level up because I think I can ignore the advice from Caius Cosades, who said I might need to do some quest from a guild.

title: How do I make the XBox 360 slim recognise a USB backup?

text: I used to own an older model XBox 360 (the big white model). I took a USB backup of my saved games, etc. to an 8GB USB stick. I then needed to use this USB stick for something else, so I used `dd` on Linux to copy the entire drive's image to a file on my PC. I eventually replaced the older XBox 360 with a newer XBox 360 Slim model. I took the exact same USB stick, used `dd` to put the image back on, and tried to recover my data from it. But the new XBox simply prompts me to configure it — it doesn't recognise the data on it at all. I have to admit, it didn't even occur to me that a byte-for-byte image wouldn't work like this, so I don't really have any other backups. I've also tried letting the new XBox "configure" the USB stick and then (on Linux) replacing the files on it with the files from the mounted image I took, but again, I get prompted to reconfigure it. How can I get the new XBox to recognise the USB drive formatted by the old model?


title: What multiplers and bonuses can you attain during a round of Dungeon Defenders?

text: I've looked around but can't seem to find a centralized list of all the bonuses and multipliers one can strive for during a round of Dungeon Defenders.

title: Is there any pattern to the Butcher's chain attack?

text: We're on Inferno and getting absolutely torn up by his spread chain attack. (We've tried it as solo Wizard, solo Demon Hunter, and as a pair together.) There seems to be little pattern to when he uses it, and its random damage has hit for upwards of 40k at times, enough to one-shot. Even with 2400 armor and some extra physical resistance, I'm taking enough to survive with less than 3000. Is the only solution to stack more armor and vitality, or are we missing a tell?


title: If you don't use your permanent unlock, will you have two if you prestige again?

text: When you prestige you get a permanent unlock. If you do it again, without using that first one, will you then have two? With this thread of logic, can you essentially save them up? It would be pretty useless to save them, except I play on an account with my brother and I let him choose what to unlock since he plays more, so I don't want to waste one if you don't get to keep it.


title: How do I get rid of low wealth demand in jobs?

text: I have been working on a nice balance between demand and jobless citizens. When I look at my demand, I can see the companies in my city, only want low wealth workers. How do I remove this demand? I tried to destroy industrials which didn't look like high-tech. This seemed to work, but when I want to create new industrial for high-tech industrial, only low tech industrial will pop-up. I also tried the same with commercial and have the same effect (but then instead of tech, the demand of low wealth will increase and so does the demand of high wealth). I want the following effect: Decrease of low wealth demand. Increase of high wealth demand and little bit mid wealth demand. Can anyone tell me which factors I should look at and how I can make this possible? This seems to happen: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sTArJ.jpg)


title: Is there an App for the Diablo 3 Auction house?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How can I access the Auction House from out of game? I know Blizzard made an app for World of Warcrafts auction house, but have they done this for Diablo 3 as well? I checked my Iphone to no such luck, but since I don't have a Droid or Ipad, I wasn't sure if it was released for one of those platforms. If the app does exist is it free, have a 1 time payment, or monthly recurring? Really hoping there's an app for this somewhere or even an online auction house, but I haven't been able to find any online or on their site. Thanks in advance.


title: Should I have waited before going to the land of the livid dead?

text: I've been playing Rayman Origins for a while now, and yesterday I finally managed to collect all those red teeth that are scattered across the various game worlds, granting me access to the land of the livid dead. Mind you, at this point I still did not finish all the levels in the Moody Clouds, but since getting the teeth was insanely difficult at times, I couldn't wait to see what the land of the livid dead was all about. Turns out it was a set of the most challenging levels I've come across in the game, ending at an impressive boss monster. What surprised me, is that after defeating said boss it transformed to a character I've never seen before in the game, definitely not the main antagonist as portrayed by the game's intro, and I was then treated to the game's credits. Should I have waited and gone to the land of the livid dead only after finishing with the Moody Clouds? Would it have made more sense then? Would I have even had the chance?

I've tried finding a walkthrough, but so far, I've only found videos for another (possibly beta) version of the game - the one where you must collect feathers. The levels differ, so the videos aren't that relevant.

title: Which 5 items grant max ability power (ap) on any champion?

text: The recipe used to be rather easy and common, stack 5 Archangel's and a Deathcap, but in S3 many things have changed and as I understand it, that's not viable anymore as it doesn't stack, but also due to the reset of the mana pool when an item evolves. **So my question is, what build of items gets the highest AP in 5v5? and also for 3v3?** This should be item specific, without champion specific abilities etc. My typical Kassadin build yields 787.94 AP and only 4 more AP now if I swap Lich Bane for another Seraph's Embrace. Note that i'm not sure of the accuracy of the item builder used above, but my typical build in 3v3 Kassadin got me ~732 AP. When I say typical, I mean what my end game build is, without sacrificing boots for another core item.

text: i was leveling up some character in the ice map where every space is red with invincibility except for one green space, i combined all the enemies into one succubus and killed it at one stage i killed with with a combo attack from my own succubus and kitkat and my succubus was wearing some slippers that had a Statistician whos at level 206 as a test to see if the EXP boost from the Statistician is shared in a combo attack (it it doesn't), in my my succubus levels up by like 6 levels however when i did the same map but killed my fused enemy with my samurai she did it on her own and she went up by 12 levels, she was equipped with the same item so i'm wondering is if 2 characters go in for a combo and kill an enemy, since they both get exp is the exp split between them?

title: Game hangs at the main menu while checking for downloadable content?

text: I just found there's a handful of free DLCs for Mass Effect 3, including an Extended Cut that supposedly fixes some issues with the ending. So, of course I downloaded and installed them as soon as I could. However, after the DLCs were installed, the game would not load. It would get past the opening credits, and the "Press START button" screen. But, at the main menu, it would then hang with a message that says "Checking downloadable content". The menu would still be animated, and the Loading icon would still be spinning. But I could let it sit forever like that and still not get a response. The only thing I could do is access the PlayStation menu and exit the game. What causes this? Is there a patch or workaround?


title: Pickpocket ability and turn order

text: I've just been looking at some Hidden Abilities to see what might be good to aim for. One such Ability is Pickpocket. According to the information I've found, it will steal the opponent's held item if the opponent makes contact. I've noticed that simultaneous abilities generally work in an order that benefits the user. For instance, when an opponent uses Drain Punch on my Ferrothorn+Rocky Helmet, it will absorb HP before taking damage from Iron Barbs and the item, while in theory in a realistic situation the attacker would be hurt when the punch lands, before any health is drained. So what happens if a Pickpocket with no item takes an attack that would KO it in one hit, but the attacker made contact and is holding a Focus Sash? Would the Pickpocket ability activate first and steal the item, thus allowing the thief to survive, or would the damage be too much for the ability to activate?

text: I've been Town Hall 9 for a few months now and it's come to the point where I have nothing left to upgrade that costs elixir and I'm unsure what to do with it now. I've had people suggest all dragon raids, which would be fine, but they take far too long to train for my liking and I still need gold for various defenses and walls. I've been doing overnight dragon raids, but that still doesn't do much for me - I'm still gaining more than I'm losing. Would it be better to just keep doing all dragon raids or stick my elixir storages outside walls? What do some of you do with your elixir when you don't need it?


title: Why do I sometimes boost when ramming other Karts?

text: I've noticed that sometimes when I crash into other Karts, we both spin out -- but then I get a speed boost, and continue flying past them. What factors are at play here? Should I always try to be ramming my opponents? I seem to have noticed this mostly when the Karts are in anti-grav mode -- is that a requirement to get this speed boost?

title: Are there any additional campaign packs available for Wings of Liberty / Heart of the Swarm?

text: I'm looking for additional campaign maps/packs free to download/play for Starcraft 2 "Wings of Liberty"/"Heart of The Swarm". I almost finished the later and would like to keep playing. I'm not much into the multiplayer mode, I just play occasionally for fun and for the story. Are there any extra campaigns with storyline and everything? I remember that (a long time ago) that SC1 had some extra campaign levels, even some levels could be played depending on the outcome of the prior map. I don't care if the have to be downloaded manually and placed in some dark corner of the SC2 installation folder, or if they have to be downloaded using some Battle.net UI/utility or whatever (if that is even possible, but it would be cool, don't you think?) Thanks!


title: Plane gets damaged while flying, what am I doing wrong?

text: I've successfully stolen a small plane from the LS-airport and managed to take off with it. But after just a few miles, the engines start to degrade, black smoke appeared and I eventually lost height and crashed. The plane was of course shot at while still on the runway, but only slightly damaged. I don't think a police helicopter could have followed the jet plane for long and I didn't hear further gunshots while flying. What did I do wrong? Am I not supposed to fly early in the game? Do I need to manually retract the landing gears? Do police helicopters have a really long (and silent) weapons range?

title: Do I need to save my game manually?

text: In Grand Theft Auto V on PS3 or Xbox, do I ever need to save my game manually (by sleeping in a bed or using my cell phone) or can I rely completely on the auto save feature? A related detail, inspired by Nolonar's answer below is: If I do save my game manually, using quicksave or sleeping in a bed) should I save it in the same slot as the autosave, or a different slot? Is there any way to prevent the "Are you sure you want to overwrite?!" message that comes up at the start of each play session? (In both cases, assuming I never want to "rewind time", i.e. I only ever want to load my latest save.)


title: Is there a new system of scene unlock hints in Tiny Death Star?

text: I was quite busy the last couple of days, so I didn't visit the game for a long time. So, at first I got the usual message about me having to return to the Death Star. But then, less than a day after, I got this message ![Hint](http://i.stack.imgur.com/cVruJ.jpg) It obviously refers to the Cloud City Spa Solo/Fett scene. It is already unlocked on my phone, so it means that these hints are chosen randomly. Was an update for iOS 7 released or something? I have iOS 6 and I didn't find it among my app updates. Has the game suddenly started bringing out new hints and notifiers? Also I got a message about VIPs' prices being reduced, but nothing happened in my TDS neither in the Arrivals level, nor in the Store


title: How do you fix the map "green arrow" bug?

text: I've encountered a map bug in 1.6.4 SMP, which is similar to this one explained in the wiki: > Currently, placing a map on a wall in SMP using an Item Frame possibly > causes an issue with maps held by players in which the location marker for > the players 'disappear' under explored regions of the map, and preventing > unexplored regions from becoming 'explored', effectively making all maps on > the server useless. Deleting all of the map.dat files in the world data > folder, as well as the idcount.dat file resolves the issue, unless players > have maps in their inventory. The difference is that despite not showing my marker, it _does_ explore new areas, contrary to what is written there. Also, _"Deleting all of the map.dat files in the world data folder, as well as the idcount.dat file resolves the issue"_ is kind of vague: it may solve the issue, but does it cause any problem? Or are these only cache-like files? PS: reported

So far I've only upgraded Mr. Snuggles (or whatever the dragon is called) to gold, and the only difference that I noted besides the golden color was, that it now reaches more into the screen which actually makes it harder to use, since you have less time to spot zappers coming at you?!

title: What's the latest point in the game that the hidden achievements can be unlocked?

text: I had started The Dreamhold several times since its original release in 2004, but never finished it until its recent release on iOS. This release has Game Center achievements, and at least three of them are hidden. I discovered one of the hidden ones: > Apparently as you progress through the game, there is an increasing (though > always small) chance that going northeast from "Curving Hall at Pedestal" > will take you to the Stone Spire instead of the Harp Chamber. Entering the > Stone Spire unlocks the "Precarious Perch" achievement. It's possible that there are more than three hidden ones total, and that I discovered other ones already without knowing it; I only know that I have two remaining. So, _without spoiling them directly_ (unless you use spoiler tags), I would like to know if the rest of the hidden achievements are attainable during the endgame scenario, which I define as follows: > Seven masks collected. All wizard attire collected (knotted string, dagger, > buckler, glove, cloak, and bracelet). All seven masks put into mirror. Flask > of ink collected. Shred of black mask collected. You can put the actual achievements in spoiler tags if you like, but I'm really just looking for a "yes" or "no" as to whether I can get the hidden achievements from this state. If "no", and you can give me clues as to how early I need to backtrack without spoiling the achievements entirely, that would be excellent as well.

title: My portal got me stuck underground

text: After feverishly mining my minimal 10 blocks of obsidian I made me a portal to the Nether. I thought to myself, 'Sweet, something new. This should be fun.' I wanted to jump in immediately but to be safe, I emptied my inventory of everything other than a sword, armor and a pick ax. I got there and noticed it brought me to a cave. I knew I'd need some torches so I turned around and re-entered the portal and... I have no clue where I am but it's not the portal I entered in?!?! What happened and how can I get home? I don't have a map because, as I mentioned, I left all my goods at my home base before going to the Nether. Now I'm stranded. How does this happen and how can I easily find my home base? Should it be close by? I tried to enter the portal in the Nether from various directions but that didn't help. I keep popping up in the overworld somewhere other than near my home but I can tell it is at the same location each time I go back to the overworld. I'm lost... and I'm starting to feel cold. Can somebody help?

And, what is an "old key" compared to any other key?


title: Black Screen After Log In

text: I've been playing Minecraft on a PC and just got a Mac laptop (OSX 10.7.5). Since the server I regularly play on has numerous mods (using Forge ModLoader), I decided to copy over my .minecraft files. I followed what instructions I could find and placed the `.minecraft` folder in my `~/Library/Application Support` folder and renamed it to `minecraft`. Upon launching Minecraft, the initial launch screen displays properly and I attempt to log in. However, the Minecraft window proceeds to turn black. It still seems to be "responsive" (as clicking on the window doesn't make it turn gray and show the 'unresponsive' status), but it does not proceed from there. I don't see the Mojang loading screen nor do I make any other progress. Most advice says to delete my minecraft folder and restart the launcher, but this will result in a fresh (as of now) 1.4.7 installation. The server I play on runs 1.4.6 along with a host of mods, so that option is a no-go.

title: PS Vita doesn't wake back up

text: I'm having problems with my Vita not waking back up from a long sleep. I play my Vita for a few mins a day and then leave it sleep/charging for long periods (I never turn any of my hardware off). I was talking to a few buddies online and 2 of them out of a few that have it, said they experience the same thing where they let it go sleep and when they come back, the units "PSlog button" stays lit (sometimes not) and they have to do a hard reboot. After the hard reboot, the unit comes up with some restore options etc. we press the restore option and once you hit that, system reboots, does its thing and all is well. This doesn't seem like normal behavior for the unit so I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and if so, if you've found a solution, or is my unit (and friends units) defective?

title: Are there portals that do not appear on the intel map?

text: The Intel Map displays portals in the Ingress game. Are there undiscovered portals that do not appear in this map? I know that new portals are added from time to time. What I want to know is if there are existing portals that I can find by exploring with the game running. Edit 2013-01-15: I am aware that it is necessary to zoom way in on the Intel map to see low-level and unclaimed portals. I am specifically wondering if there are portals that do not appear on the map at any zoom level because they have never been visited/discovered. I ask because the portals on the Intel Map have notes like, "Discovery: Khayman 01/14/2013". Are these the names of players who have discovered previously hidden portals - or are these the players who submitted geotagged pictures to get portals added? I am skeptical of the latter possibility because some of the portals in questions are post offices and libraries and do not have pictures.

title: What prevents transporting troops by (inland) sea?

text: Earlier, I was able to invade Crete by sea from Morea (near Athens on the southern tip of Greece) with two infantry simply by selecting them and right- clicking on Crete as you would normally, I assume because I had a small fleet of three Galleys and three Cogs. It even showed them move first to the ships and then--after a short delay--onto Crete. But now I've just conquered Venice and am trying to return home to Dalmatia via the Gulf of Venice. I have a large fleet in the gulf and control both provinces. When I select the army and right-click on Dalmatia, it makes sound like it will move but doesn't do anything. ![Convoy from Venice \(top-left\) to Dalmatia \(bottom- right\)](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Xrqor.png) There are a few things I suspect may be blocking the convoy:   1. The port is not actually adjacent to the gulf but on the sea below it. If this is the problem, do I need to split my fleet across both sea regions? Do both fleets need to have Cogs?   2. Venice has a fleet parked in a port adjacent to the gulf. Even though it appears I have them blockaded in the port, are they blocking the convoy?   3. I probably have more units in the army than Cogs in the fleet. Do I need to split up the army and move the stacks piecemeal?


title: Why is Corki underplayed?

text: * His passive applies 10% of his ad as true damage   * Great escape utility/team positioning with his w   * Great wave clear potential   * Extremely long range poke with short cooldown Why is it that he isn't a frequently played champion in bot. I understand that most people say that his early game is a pain, but from my experience his auto attacks accompanied by his passive will destroy 1 bar of health from the opponent each time he attacks them. Is there some reason? Is he hard to master? Extremely boring? (which I totally disagree) or because his figure doesn't look appealing?

I've noticed a lot of the Miiverse messages on the level note having trouble with the spiders, but not how to beat them.


title: How can I install mods on the Mac release of Planescape Torment?

text: So, GOG has gone to the trouble of releasing Planescape: Torment for OS X thanks to the wonders of WINE. Hooray! Unfortunately, said release does not include the core mods that are widely regarded as essential for playing the game today. I happen to agree that _at a minimum_ the widescreen and UI patch, and WeiDU Fixpack mods are essential these days, and am super fond of Unfinished Business and the Tweaks tool as well. Unfortunately, the method for installing all of these requires an executable windows application. Which, of course, means that I can't easily install them under OS X. Is there any way to manually load/install these modifications, or are there mac versions of the core mods available somewhere?

title: Does X3:Albion Prelude still have a private sector?

text: In Terran Conflict, you could get a private sector. (As well as a Headquarters for that sector. You could put the HQ anywhere, but in the private sector seems the best place to put it to me.) Since Albion Prelude is just a plugin/expansion to Terran Conflict, does it still have the private sector and headquarters? I never quite managed to get both in TC and that's one of the biggies I always wanted to do in TC. Thinking about playing again, but if AP doesn't have both of those, I think I may just go back to my old TC save so I can finally get them. 15 minutes of Googling has turned up nothing on if they exist in Albion Prelude. I'm guessing the fact I can't find a mention of it anywhere means they're not in Albion Prelude, but I thought I'd ask just to be sure.
