title: How do I build down?

text: I'm playing Skyblock, and after getting my cobblestone generator working, I'm planning on a total revamp of my entire little sky-island. However, I want to make certain that I don't lose important stuff (like dirt), so I want to build a safety net under my island. So I'm left with a problem very similar to this one: "Is it possible to lay a block adjacent to another without looking at the face of the existing block?", except I need to build _down_ so shift doesn't help. How can I do this? Oh, and there is no ground, it's just void beneath me, so dropping sand or gravel is out of the question (that, and I have no sand or gravel to drop).


title: Where are the Fairy Fountains?

text: I am playing Ocarina of Time on the 3DS, and I vaguely recall there being a fairy fountain somewhat close to each dungeon/temple. Is that true? Where are the fairy fountains?


title: How can we merge duplicate portals?

text: The Portal "Edit" menu has a "Report Invalid Portal" button which has the "Duplicate of another Portal" option. In the past we have used this option to report very obvious duplicate portals which should be identified by their photos but those reports were mostly rejected by the NIA operatives. Later we began to use the "Edit Location" button to report duplicates which had both similar photos and were in a short proximity. This kind of duplicate reportings were more succesful than using the "Duplicate" option. Lately we are observing that the Nia operatives aren't merging the Portals reported with "Location" corrections. We've started to have duplicate Portals which are side by side with just 1-5 meters of distance. Is this some kind of a new Portal policy by Niantic and how can we merge those siamese Portals? Did you observe something like this, too?


title: In Skyrim, can you play past the game's final quest?

text: Bethesda games, sadly, have been going downhill with respect to playing past the ending quest:   * In Oblivion, you could play past the game's ending and even got a special piece of armor from it.   * In Fallout 3, you couldn't play past the ending without buying the Broken Steel DLC.   * In Fallout: New Vegas, you couldn't play past the ending. Period. How does Skyrim handle the ending mission in this respect?


title: How can I be more athletic?

text: Now that the athletics and acrobatics skills have disappeared, is there a way to run faster or to jump higher in Skyrim?


title: Any tips on getting people to play together in a squad on Battlefield 2 (or 2142)?

text: I'm tired of joining servers and swapping around in squads looking for other people who want to stick together and play as a team. In my experience, just one good squad can win the whole round while everyone else is fighting over getting in planes and choppers. I'm about to give up and just start forming squads and trying to lead, but I really just want people to play together. Are there any tips for making this happen?


title: How do you perform really tight manuevers with a plane in BF2?

text: I've given up trying to fly a plane in BF2 because it seems that everyone else can turn about twice as tightly as I can. I have a good joystick, but I just can't keep up. I see people from the ground making loop-the-loops within something like 10-plane-length diameters, and I have no idea how they can do that. Is there some trick to setting up the joystick to enable insane maneuverability?


title: What is kept and what is reset for New Game+?

text: I've reached the point of no return in Bastion's story. I know that there is a New Game+ option, however, my decision on whether or not to go forward with the story at this point hinges on what is kept and what is reset. For example, I don't want to drive myself crazy trying to finish all the Proving Grounds if they're just going to be reset in New Game+. I'm currently running on the assumption that your level is kept, but otherwise, I'm unsure as to what all resets. I'm wondering about:   * **Vigils?**   * **Proving Grounds?**   * **Weapons and their upgrades?**   * **Buildings and their upgrades?**   * **Accessibility of Secret and Weapon Skills?**   * **Who Knows Where progress?**   * **Items in my Pack?**   * **Number of Fragments?** Please feel free to mention anything I may have forgotten that is not included in this list.


title: What is this block I keep seeing in Tekkit with Sips and Sjin?

text: I've watched nearly every episode in the Tekkit with Sips and Sjin YouTube series, and I keep seeing this particular oddly-colored block amongst the stone bricks that make up the bases of their facility buildings. I've taken a still image from their Christmas Special as an example: ![There's monsters about and the power is out](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rVVA0.png) The block appears to have a stone brick texture, but each of the 4 bricks in the block is a different color. I've never heard them make any mention of what this was or how they made it, and I've never come across it in the Technic item inventory. What is this? Is it an actual block you can create, or a special texture for some other block in the texture pack that they use?


title: Where can I find all the Retro Challenges?

text: There is apparently a challenge which involves finding 25 Retro Challenges (and beating them all too!) ![enter image description here](http://www.oxmonline.com/files/u9/runner2-retro1.jpg) Which levels have them, and where can I find them (do I need keys to get there?) I've found three so far, one on Windy Interlude, one in Cloud 8 1/2, and one in Cloud Nein, but I can't seem to find the rest. Where are these retro challenges located?


title: How do I beat the Homestead Innkeeper at Six Men's Morris?

text: I've drained about 500 of my precious in game currency trying to beat the Innkeeper of the Inn in the Homestead area for an achievement. Is there a trick to beating this guy? He is like the Six Men's Morris world champion or something and has already caused me so much rage.


title: What happens if I catch an additional outsider?

text: In my latest playthrough, I've caught the very first outsider I came across, and was very surprised to encounter an additional outsider a while later on a different crashed UFO (as I was under the impression they stop showing up once you fulfill the objective of capturing one). I really wanted to see what would happen if I were to capture it, but I obviously failed (which is why I'm asking this question). I seem to recall that the outsider shard shows up on the gray market screen and is unsellable. Will capturing an additional outsider give me an extra shard to sell once I research the one I already had? Will I simply end up with an extra shard I can't do anything with? Something else?


title: When should I enchant with Muffle instead of Sneak?

text: I have a pair of unenchanted boots, assorted gems filled with souls of questionable origin, and a burning desire to go unnoticed (because ~~I get a 30x bonus to sneak attacks~~ I'm shy) I can either put Muffle on my boots, or a bonus to Sneak. Muffle's magnitude is always 100% when the player uses it, but the bonus to Sneak depends on the player's Enchant skill and perks. Let's assume that I don't have access to any other sources of the Muffle effect, and I don't have any of the perks or powers that make your armor weigh nothing (Unhindered, Conditioning, the Steed Stone). Further, let's assume I don't have the dual enchantment perk, so "¿por qué no los dos?" doesn't apply yet. In what circumstances would I be sneakier with Muffle-enchanted boots, and when would I be more muffled with a bonus to Sneak?


title: Terrain disappearing and going transparent

text: So I'm running the 306.97 nVidia drivers on an GTX560Ti and when I get into caves or places with steep terrain, rotating the camera angle sometimes makes the terrain go semi-transparent. This wasn't an issue with the drivers that were out when the game was released, but was since the beta drivers that Arenanet recommended. I've reported the issue ingame as a bug, but not heard anything about it on the forums. Does anyone else have this problem or could give me any suggestions on how I might fix it? I tend to run the game with all the settings on max. I'd rather not roll back my drivers, but I will if there are no other solutions. ![Semi-transparent terrain](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BhJwg.jpg)   Bigger version YouTube Video of the glitch * * * **Update as suggested**   Going through the various options,   * Terrain detail on _low_ shows more transparency.   * Reflections _none_ fixes the problem!   * Render sampling to either _subsample_ or _supersample_ fixes the problem!


title: Lynn: Light Armor or Heavy Armor?

text: Should I go with light armor or heavy armor for Lynn? I've read that late game, heavy armor tends to benefit more since it saves you from dying quickly. But that forum post was pertaining to Lann. I feel that light armor would also work with Lynn because of her hit-and-run playstyle, being able to quickly move from harm. **Which is better for Lynn?**


title: Is there a downside to not be all Renegade or Paragon?

text: As in many games with moral choice, the best way (game wise) is to go all out on either. This often puts you in a situation where you turn out to be either Mother Teresa or Vlad the Impaler. Staying somewhere in the middle locks you out of either bonuses. But at the same time it makes for more interesting role playing. I'm playing through ME1 now and I'm going the `Paragon` route. Playing a nice Shepard is mostly rewarding (and it's the way I like him) but ever so often, I get into a situation where I really would like to slap faces. But because of the Charm/Intimidate skills I still choose the Paragon option. This is getting really annoying because while a Paragon Shepard is a nice person to play, he also seem to be pushed around by everyone and their mum - i.e. he's a complete wuss. Can I still receive full Charm while mixing in a few Renegade points when I feel like it?


title: What're and where can I found timed dungeons?

text: I saw at Blizzcon the comment about the timed dungeons. What they really are and where can I find them? They still exist or was just an idea? Is there a requirement to get into one?


title: Does Paralysis stack with Wyrdward?

text: I'm just curious if the Paralysis passive (for Wizard), which gives a 15% chance for lightning damage to stun the enemy for 1.5 seconds, stacks with the ring Wyrdward's special, which does the same, 13-17% chance for Lightning damage to stun the enemy for 1.5 seconds.

text: I still can't break blocks. I am on Survival and I checked my controls, and my pick block button is button 1. I tried picking dirt but it still won't work.


title: Do the inventories of NPCs respawn with new goodies after you've pickpocketed them?

text: If you pickpocket a named NPC in Skyrim, stealing their gold and jewelry, will that NPC ever get new gold and jewelry for you to steal again? Also, the same question for the same situation in Oblivion. I'm confused about the issue. Personally I've never seen it happen in Skyrim as of yet. In Oblivion I never noticed a NPC regain inventory items/gold to be stolen again, except for one case: taking multiple Debaser swords from Agarmir in the Imperial City.


title: How can I win the Monaco race in B-Spec?

text: I've tried to win the Monaco race in B-Spec (the old cars) several times, and the max I've obtained is third position. I've used the Toyota 7, with a driver of level 24. The Toyota 7 is upgraded to the max, the oil of the car has been cleaned, the wheels are "soft/competition", and the configuration of the car is the default. How is it possible to get the gold?


title: Is there a Freelancer map navigator outside of the game?

text: I love the game and would love to have a separate map navigator outside of the game to use while I play the game. Let's say we grap some information mentioning some planet/depot etc. and I have no idea where it is. I want to know the way to navigate there. Is there a desktop program or an online tool to navigate the game planet map? ps. In the game there is a way to click a point and select `navigate here`. But before clicking, we need to know where to click! That is when I need the nevigator outside of the game. In other words, it would be lovely to have the places mentioned in the game, e.g. the planet/location where has the highest price of a loods/products.


title: In Shin Megami Tensei IV, what does it mean when my character smirks?

text: I've noticed my character will often "smirk" in battle. What does this effect do?


title: Is it possible to move the root of vines?

text: Vines grow down from "root" plants in starbound, and I believe they regrow given time. Seeing as these are a good source of plant fiber for bandages, is it possible to move the "roots" so the vines can be farmed?


title: How do you manually change filters?

text: In Metro 2033 your gas mask uses filters. When a filter is getting close to being used up, your vision is obscured, mostly around the edges. Is there a way to manually change filters so that you can clear up your vision earlier than when the filter completely runs out?


title: How can I alleviate intermittent freezes?

text: While playing the game mostly everything goes smoothly except for one thing, intermittent freezing. Every so often (pretty much at random) the game will stutter, and by that I mean it will freeze then quickly go to where it should be. If you've ever played a game like Amnesia: The Dark Descent or any of the Penumbra games you probably know that the atmosphere is amazing, but this stuttering really makes the game hard to enjoy (it's still enjoyable, but not quite as much with the frequent stuttering/lag/freezing temporarily). Things I've tried, but didn't help:   * Lowering my settings (both custom and the presets) to see if it was my system.   * Modify my main configuration file (one of the developers/administrators recommended trying it). See his post below: ![jens_post](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jr3MQ.png)(Original Post)   * Update drivers (stable and beta version).   * Close all unnecessary background programs. This is not an isolated incident other people on Frictional Games forums say that they have nearly the same or similar problem. So, does anyone have any ideas/suggestions on how I can try and fix this or at least make it more _playable_? My system specs are:   * Windows 7 Ultimate 64bits   * AMD Phenom II X4 955 @3.20GHz   * 8GB DDR3   * Nvidia GeForce GT430 1GB


title: How to add Minecraft client mods to Spout / Spoutcraft?

text: Spout is a bukkit plugin that allows some nice interaction with the modified client Spoutcraft, for example using server-side defined texture packs and which mods the client will use. This does include a feature to prevent players from cheating by installing client mods the usual way, since Spoutcraft checks for modifications of `minecraft.jar`. Now since the _server_ determines via Spout which mods the client uses, how can I set it up to provide normal client mods like TooManyItems, Rei's Minimap or the client-side part of IndustrialCraft²?


title: What are the damage percentages in Super Smash Bros out of?

text: I have always wondered this. Why is the damage done in percents, and what does 100% damage correspond to?


title: How does targeting work with spray fire?

text: I had a hard time thinking of a title for this one that briefly encompassed my question. If my unit using a weapon with bullets (vs. explosives; I know rockets and grenades kill everything in their radius), can the bullets damage a unit that is not the target? For example, if 2 enemies are in a line and I tell my unit to ignore one, can he still "accidentally" kill the ignored one? If one of my units is in the line of fire, either blocking the enemy unit or behind it, will my friendly bullets kill him?


title: Are there any advantages to buying ArmA II: Combined Operation instead of just the standalone expansion?

text: I had ArmA II on my sight for a while now. However, it looks like its expansion, "Operation Arrowhead", is a standalone game. Does it means that it includes content from the original game? If so, is there a point in buying "Combined Operations", the package that includes both games, or will Operation Arrowhead be enough?


title: Soul Cairn: Constant Health Drain

text: I've been training restoration just outside the Soul Cairn portal inside the Volikhar Balcony and I reloaded my save to continue training and now my character is experiencing constant health depletion. (Keep in mind my character is now a werewolf, meaning I can't enter the Soul Cairn.) I've researched this problem and I'm aware that this is a glitch. Is there a known solution to solve this problem other than reloading a previous save?


title: Is it possible in COD:BlackOps PS3 identify who is the "host"?

text: Sometimes when I play Blackops, I get a "host migration". I am assuming that it's because someone who was "hosting" a session has dropped out. I notice that it tends to happen when I am doing really well :( If this is the case, then is it possible to identify who is the host ? If I can see the host, I can make a cal whether to particpate or not.


title: What does the Dream Room do?

text: I have a quest to build the Dream Room. So far I haven't seen any explanation of what the Dream does. The in game text says: > After observing that monsters evolved during a prolonged deep sleep, Phineas > Alexander suggested the explorers build a specialized hibernation center > known as the Dream Room. Carved into an enormous tree, the building ensures > the creatures have the most relaxing and peaceful sleeping situation > possible while simultaneously protecting them during hibernation. What do I use the Dream Room for?


title: What determines which number spawns?

title: Fill up furnaces all at once by hopper

text: I'm trying to make an automatic furnace system, and whilst I've found videos on Youtube showing how to make one, they don't explain how it works, so I'm trying to learn the mechanics behind it. The first problem I've come across is filling furnaces at once. I have a hopper system that runs on top of 10 furnaces, like so               H H H H H H H H H H H H Chest      F F F F F F F F F      However, the first furnace has to fully fill up first before it starts to fill the next one. Is it possible to make the hoppers fill up the furnaces all at the same time when I put items in the chest?


title: Do heal spells (Like Janna's Ult) proc Spell Vamp?

text: Does spell Vamp from Will of the Ancients trigger from heals like Janna's Monsoon, Soraka's Wish, or even Nidalee's Primal surge?


title: Do kick and grip stack?

text: The first weapon proficiency you unlock is "kick", and for some weapons one of the first weapon attachments is "grip". Both reduce recoil, but I've often wondered if one reduces more than the other, and if the effect stacks. Since both are pretty easy to get, switching between them can of course allow for different proficiency and attachment combinations of interest (assuming they are equivalent). If they are not equivalent though, I might favor the option that had better recoil reduction - since for me in can be a real factor in my aim.


title: Does it give bonus for cutting specific parts of enemies?

text: I remember that after the first chapter, Raiden and Doktor had a conversation while Raiden was in the stealth jet and Doktor mentioned something about cutting the enemies's left hand for the combat chip inside. So I have 3 questions:   1. Does it really give any sort of bonus if I cut the left hand off of an enemy?    2. Are there any special bonus if I cut specific parts off of enemy?   3. Does the number of pieces matter when I cut? If not I'd just do one cut and get the fuel cell to be more efficient.


title: Social Events (White Whales, Royal Convoys, Social Chests) Locating

text: This is somewhat related to this post. I have yet to find a single white whale, royal convoy, or social chest in Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. I've played for about 70 hours (all of it while online) on the PS4. I've done everything I can in the game except these 3 things and it's killing me. All I've been doing lately is sailing around and wishing something would appear. Could someone describe how you located the events? As in, the visuals, etc. I've read they appear as blue icons, but some questions I have are the following.   1. Did you find them by looking at the minimap on the screen (circle in lower left), or by opening up the big map and scanning around?   2. Do you remember finding one while you were moving at travel speed? Also, does anyone know why these things might not be showing up for me? It seems like a few people online are having the same issue and some have even signed a petition to Ubisoft. This is all so frustrating.


title: What are the 'Strange Relics' in the Uncharted series?

text: There is a trophy in each of the Uncharted games called 'Relic Finder'. To earn it you have to locate the 'Strange Relic'. I don't think these relics are mentioned in the stories at all, and I have found the one in #2 and it just shows up like a normal treasure you find. I haven't noticed anything that it changes yet. **So, what is the significance of the "Strange Relics" in each game? and why are they different from the other treasures you collect?** In answers please use spoiler tags if the answer relates to the story.

text: I've enabled the Notification Center and badge app icon settings for Dragonvale in the Settings app, and I enabled all notifications inside Dragonvale. However, I get no egg/reminders notifications whatsoever. When my eggs are ready to hatch I get no notification. Does this setting _work_? Is there something particular I need to enable first? Why am I not getting Egg notifications? I might like the others too, but egg notifications are the most important ones and I've never gotten one. I'm on iOS 5.1 on the current latest version of Dragonvale.


title: What could cause a Gemcrafter to stay inside his workshop for a long time and eventually die, while still being "undiscovered"?

text: My gemcrafter locked himself inside of his workshop for a suspiciously long time. Eventually, he became "missing" and his yet-to-be-discovered corpse was releasing clouds of miasma. There are plenty of factors that could have caused this, but i will trt to add the ones i think have caused this:   * He was working with Rough Onyx. (but never actually got started)   * He was not assigned to any burrows.   * He was "content".   * He had an assigned bedroom.   * He was NOT in any strange mood.   * The fort was not in lack of food, water or booze. Note 1: I recently discovered his corpse (although it was visible that it was still in the gem workshop. The fact that it was "dehydrated" probably explains the miasma). So, why would my r gemcrafter isolate himself inside of his workshop? Note 2: His workshop layout:               WWWWWWW     W...ppW     W...pp     W...ppW     WWWWWWW      p = gem stockpile (was full that time) W = Wall . = workshop tile

title: Can I run a Fallout mod launcher and have Steam think it's the original game executable?

text: Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas have a great modding community, but most mods require launching the game through a mod manager like _Fallout Mod Manager_ (FOMM), or by launching the _Fallout Script Extender_ (FOSE), both of which exist independent of Steam. I know I can 'Add a non-steam game' to my library (and in fact have been doing this for a while), but is there any way I can get Steam to launch FOMM or FOSE directly, by clicking the 'Play' button on the actual game? This will enable me to use all my favourite mods, as well as continuing to utilise some of the Steam community benefits of launching the actual game.


title: Would a caching proxy help with PSN?

text: I've been getting lots of errors, presumably due to the "Welcome Back" offers etc., in Playstation Home (x80710D36), and in the Store (don't remember the code). I'm wondering if anyone has looked at the traffic to see if it is all `HTTPS` or if adding a caching proxy help Home and the Store? I ask because it looks to me like it is fetching the same data over and over again. Of course, that begs the question why isn't the Playstation caching this stuff. I could set up squid to caching `HTTP` requests from my PS3, I think. Ciao!


title: Are there any strategies or triggers to make bosses appear?

text: I'm currently struggling to complete the objective where I have to kill 6 bosses in one run. I completed most of the other difficult objectives by investing money in upgrades for reload speed or damage and surviving as long as possible, but the bosses give me a hard time. I don't see any pattern when they appear, it seems random, but I'm not sure. So, does anyone know of any strategies or triggers to make them appear? For example: try to not kill any zombies or try to drive fast.

title: Is there a limit to how many zombies a Mouth can summon?

text: The latest special zombie I've come across while playing Dead Nation was the "Mouth" zombie. Seeing how I find their appearance amazingly disturbing, I tend to get rid of them right away, but on the odd occasion that they manage to stick around long enough to "howl", they can summon a large horde of relatively weak zombies. I was wondering if there is a limit to the amount of zombies that they can call, or is it possible to simply keep a live Mouth around to grind your kill count and points? I admit I don't have the nerve to simply try it out.


title: On average, what times are junglers able take each camp?

text: I was wondering if there was some kind of document where i could review the junglespeed of each champion. I don't want to know when they get to be lvl 6, but **when they take which camp**. Beeing able to tell where a champion is in the jungle and even more importantly, when they take their buffs, would be insanely helpful to counterjungling. This information is not yet easily available somewhere right now. I think it would suffice to only get those **times for common junglers,** but it would be helpful to have like **a time range when they take a camp** so the time is not too much off, when the jungler is slow/fast.


title: Is it possible to force Steam to convert all games to 'the new format' in one go?

text: I just tried to start a game I haven't played in some time, and Steam has informed me that I need to wait for an unspecified period of time while it converts the game data into a 'new, more efficient format': ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6Xny5.jpg) Is there a way to do this pro-actively for all games in one batch process (ie: a command line parameter or similar so that they're all done when I want to do them) rather than waiting until the point in time I want to play the game and doing them one at a time?


title: Problem spawning grunt off an item pick up in amnesia

I have script set up to spawn an enemy when I interact with an item, yet he spawns when I first start off in the map. It's not an issue with the script I know this because I've checked at least 3 different sources and they all match up with mine, what else could be causing this issue?

title: How big does Cho'gath get with Lulu's ultimate?

text: I've seen Lulus use their ultimates and make people really big. What happens if you use Lulu's Ultimate on Cho'gath when he uses Surge or the Dominion buff while he has 6 stacks of Feast rank 3? I'll bet he could step on Baron Nashor like an oversized worm!


title: What should I focus on to make money in Classic mode?

text: So, I've been having a great deal of trouble going from normal mode to Classic mode. My main problem is that I have countries jumping ship too much and I can't get the money and the facilities built in time to stop them from doing that. I think my biggest problem in Classic mode is money. I'm starved for it with constantly trying to buy new satellites and arrays in the first two months. I know I should be focused on getting those satellites up in the first month or two, but I never have the money to effectively do that. Should I be selling off corpses left and right? Should I be taking only the abduction missions that net me money, or focus still on getting Engineers?


title: How do you play as a scout?

text: I know that scouts should locate as many buildings as possible on the first few days. But, does that mean that there will be no point in living or surviving after locating most of the buildings? How am I able to get back to town if i need to travel far far away from town without using drugs and hero actions?


title: What counters AP Kog'maw in mid?

text: I played a few games over the weekend and I kept seeing a bunch of AP Kog'maw players and they were giving me a really hard time in mid. What are some solid counter picks or strategies I could use against this in middle lane?


title: How to sustain with Fizz

text: I just started playing with Fizz and as an Ahri Player I really wonder how you sustain with Fizz on the lane (or at all)? He hasnt any Build-In Spellvamp and also no AP Build foresees someting like Hextech Revolver for him. Don't get me wrong - I am not like "oh my god I can only buy according to my build" but there must be a reason you don't build something like spellvamp on him. I mean I really have a hard time to hold the lane when I get harrassed...So my question is - How to sustain with Fizz? Maybe to give some kind of half answer - does it all depend on evading harrass with my E ?


title: Is there an XP limit on UGC missions?

text: When playing User Generated Content missions I don't seem to be getting the proper XP when I kill enemies. When the mission starts if I watch my XP, kills seem to give full XP, but after a few I start very rarely getting XP. The +X XP notifications on the side appear as normal, but _definitely_ don't add up to the actual XP I earn. I've noticed in particular the Ionic Drain/ect super attacks seem to always give 0 XP. Is there some limit on experience gain in UGC missions in Infamous 2? What is it and how does it work?

title: How can I make my villagers more pacifistic?

text: I'm using MineColony to get some NPC's that are actually useful. But, they're being a little _too_ useful. Specifically, the women are slaughtering all the wildlife. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OCroo.png) Many pigs used to roam this field. A few versions ago, I would've had no problem with this, but with the fairly recent animal spawning changes, I'm afraid I might end up like this guy. How can I prevent a pigpocalypse?

title: Borderlands ammunition SDU upgrade provides the same total ammo as my current total?

text: I picked up Borderlands this week and am really enjoying it. I'm playing the Siren and use primarily `Repeater Pistol` and `SMG` weapons. A little while back I purchased an Ammunition SDU from a vending machine. The SDU increased my SMG ammo up to I think 720. Now whenever I visit vending machines that I come across, I still have the option to purchase an SDU for the same Ammunition. I figure you can just continually upgrade a certain ammo type and max it out (at an increasing cost), but the tooltip seems to be telling me that purchasing the SDU will increase my ammo to the capacity that I already have (720) and cost me $6000. Is the tooltip misleading or is there actually only one SDU for each ammunition and they keep it in the shop for the sake of having it populated?


title: Starbattle - Whats the point of the quantum reactor for the Colossus. When is the best time to get it?

text: I'm a passionate Starbattle player and was wondering how I would go about finding out when the best time was to get quantum reactor which gives 25% shield recharge during sustained fire vs 0% under sustained fire. It costs 150 minerals. My view would be to get it from the get go since it its a passive ability. Starbattle is a game that can be played in the arcade of Starcraft II.


title: Can I install games obtained via Steam in Origin?

text: Origin seems to recognise that I purchased NFS: Hot Pursuit on Steam, and is now giving me the option to download it. Is there a way, or is it possible, to install games in Origin that have been backed-up/downloaded via Steam?

title: is it still possible to get the gratitude crystal from Peater?

text: I think I might have skipped talking to Peater to advance the side quest and Peater keeps saying "Bamboo slivers! Who has gone and stolen my baby girl's heart? Oh... I knew this day would come, but..." and Peatrice keeps saying " Darling! I told you that we need to keep our relationship secret! If you come over too often, my dad will catch on to us! what could you possibly want this late?" and it gives me a choice of answering deposit items, Need to talk!, or nothing and any way I answer it they say the same thing every time and I cannot find anything online that would help me. I am thinking that I completely messed it up and that I cannot get the crystals. is it still possible to get the crystals or is it now immposible to get them?


title: PS3 controller shutting down during Lair of the Shadow Broker

text: I am having trouble trying to finish the "Lair of the Shadow Broker" in the _Mass Effect Trilogy_ on the PS3. I am up to the part of chasing down Vasir in the transports, where you have to hold down the `L1` button to chase her down. Well, without warning, the controller just shuts itself off after holding the `L1` button for a few seconds, which causes the vehicle in the the game to just stop or spin in circles. I did buy the game system with said controller pre-owned, but I don't know if that may be the issue, because it works fine with my other games, although I'm not holding the `L1` button down that much when I am playing them. How can I fix this?

title: Which weapons are useful against armored targets?

text: I find myself having no trouble with damaging units with shields or barriers but it seems taking out targets with a bar of Armor is a grueling and sometime deadly process (for me). There has to be a weapon/mod or combination of biotics/weapons or combination of biotics someone has discovered that is aggressively devastating to units with armor. I am looking for combinations that work in Multiplayer as well, not just Single Player. I have discovered a potentionally similar question that i will address. The question was Do certain weapons do more damage to shields/barriers/armour in Mass Effect 3 . The answer that was given is far to vague for what I desire. I am looking for specific combinations not the yes/no answer that was given. so please do not close my question becuase of that question. Found another question possibly similar to mine, What's the difference between armor, barrier, and shields? . this question isnt as specific, im looking for character/class spells and weapons/mods. This answer requires more experience then anything. I guess when I say difficult with these opponents I should include that I play silver and gold. Strategy/teamwork is required. I'm looking to attempt a team that can drop all these boss units without spending to much time as the little guys inch their way forward.


title: Do Dynastic Stains go away in Crusader Kings 2: Game of Thrones mod?

text: So, it turns out I may have murdered a few too many people and been caught a bit too often. My latest heir has gained the "Dynastic Stain" trait: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Tvplc.png) Is this something that is permanent for my dynasty or will it go away after a few generations of being not so prone to plotting?


title: In which areas do I have to be to get choppers delivered to specific airfields?

text: When I buy a chopper in GTA 5 online, I can call Pegasus to get those choppers delivered to an airport or helipad. Unfortunately, if I get myself next to an airport and call Pegasus, the chopper isn't delivered to the current airport I'm at, but to another one on the map. But they aren't delivered to airports randomly, it seems that each airport corresponds to a specific area where you have to be when you make that call. Does anyone know these areas (best would be a map with those areas indicated)? Or do you know better and can tell the mechanism?

text: I just got my first gifted (a sniper); it seems Mind Fray doesn't benefit from squad sight. (Which does make sense.)   But I was wondering, at what range can psionic abilities be used?

title: How much time do I have to spend in hell to earn the "Medium Well" achievement in Super Meat Boy?

text: So, during the Steam Summer Sale 2011, Super Meat Boy was updated and has a new achievement: "Medium Well". It's description is only, "Spend as little time in hell as possible" How do I earn this new achievement? Unless I messed up with my calculator, the A+'s for each level in hell put you at a time total of 631.8 seconds. **Update:** Super Meat Boy was later updated in 2011-07-20 and what was originally the "Medium Rare" achievement has now been renamed to "Medium Well".


title: What is the best strategy for Samurai vs Zombie Defense to protect my Sacred Gate?

text: I always seem to get dominated by zombies as I am either not strong enough yet, or I have made poor choices spending my leadership points [on troops that are not good to fight against specific zombies]. I normally spend the majority of my points on the sword warriors. If I can get a good line of those to stay alive, I purchase bowmen, and save for a priest. Also, I tend to run behind enemy lines to take out their archers. I manly use the Lethargy and divine ability. I am currently on wave 16, and I am getting trampled! How can I survive this wave and waves to follow ?? Are there specific troops I should upgrade / purchase? **I am looking for methods that do NOT involve spending money IRL.**


title: How should I configure my Rock Band 3 pro drum kit for the most authentic experience?

text: I purchased the Rock Band 3 pro drums (the ones that come with the cymbal attachments). I'm wondering what cymbal to color configuration I should use for a drumming experience most comparable to an actual drumkit. The instruction booklet said one option was to set up yellow->blue->green from left to right (when sitting in front of the kit), however, I have also seen photos on the internet with a setup of blue->yellow->green. There's even someone who's used a setup of yellow->green->blue in this question. For what it's worth, I am right-handed and I also have an additional bass pedal from my RB1 kit. My only drumming experience is through Rock Band, so I have no "real world" preferences I need to cater to.


I've noticed a fusion of two weapon types will always produce the same weapon type, so I assume there is some sort of system for determining the weapon type produced, as opposed to it being random. What determines what type of weapon will be produced through a weapon fusion?

title: How do I Keep Piling on the Debt?

text: One of the titles, and achievements, in Half Minute Hero: The Second Coming, is: > ![The Time Goddess is not one bit > pleased.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/CMUPI.jpg) > > ### Keep Piling on the Debt > > Unlocked "Debt Bird Buster" title. In order to try and trackle this one I went back to the earliest level I found with a bank (I _think_ it is quest 18, but there's got to be one even earlier than that), leveled to about level 80, then faced the debt bird. It was not pretty. I took 400 damage in one hit and died in 4. With 0 coins left, a time reset cost of 1,100 and only a few seconds left on the clock, I hit "give up." I made another run where I tried to ask for the debt as late as possible, hoping that this would make the debt cop less powerful, but it didn't get me anywhere. How do I go about to accomplish this feat?


title: How is the damage done from Psi Storm calculated?

text: The damage done from the Rift ability on the final mission seems hard to calculate, and seems based on will of the attacker and defender. **Does anyone have a good calculation for this yet?** I've noticed:   * 15 Damage on Muton Elite   * 10(?) Damage on Ethereal.   * 8 Damage on Uber Ethereal.   * 4 Damage on Stim'ed assault soldier with 150+ willpower (I sent her in for the kill!)

There is a game called Cyberia that was for the PC and in this game you had to complete a series of missions. There was one specific part that involved a Halon system and a keypad. To this day I still do not know the combination to open the keypad. If anyone has any ideas or has even played the game I would be most appreciative.

I would very much appreciate if you could provide any reference or your own explanation for why each map is good/bad for Terran. Thanks a lot!


title: Jungling Technique

text: When I jungle, I normally lag a few levels behind others, for example with lifestealer. I've seen people become very overpowered with lifestealer after jungling, while I lag behind. **My question is, is there more of a technique than just hitting each of the foresting spots in a circular fashion?** I assume ganking must be a part of it, but if I'm too low, I can never gank! Side question: If you keep getting ganked jungling, should you, or the support ward? (probably more subjective so feel free to ignore)


title: Paragon Levels in D3: Reaper of Souls

text: Since Reaper of Souls was announced I wondered what will happen to the current characters' paragon levels.   * Will the combined paragon experience from all chars be used for the new global paragon level or...   * will the highest level be used and all others discarded? Basically I want to know if it does make sense to paragon-level other characters besides my main before the add-on.

Could anyone shed some light as to where the game stores its data on each platform (Win/Max/Linux)?

text: I wanted to play with my friends this game and on invite it kept saying that "the character is out of my league" even though we were the same level. I am in _domination league_ and they are _normal league_. I guess I din't saw the league when I created my characters. I read here that there are different leagues and you can not join another league. That is pretty stupid considering the I have spent a few days building some characters. **Question:** Is there any way I can change my character's league? I want to move them from _domination league_ to _normal league_.

text: I've dug up Oblivion again and installed my favorite mods. Among other things "Harvest Flora". Unfortunately I get a lot of these ugly yellow exclamation marks ingame (they go away if I disable the mod) instead of some plants. My google searches turned up the explanation that somehow the meshes to the mod aren't loaded. I have tried adding the bsa file to the ini file but I can't find it. I only have a Oblivion_default.ini and it is lacking the directive I was supposed to edit. Anyone know how I can fix this? Because the Mod itself is great...


title: Dungeon Hunter 2 offline Achievements

text: I just got Dungeon Hunter 2 http://www.gameloft.com/iphone-games/dungeon- hunter-2/ on my Iphone 3G and I have a Mage: Shadowmancer level 22. I usually play offline when I'm not home and I just noticed that if I play offline and "win" some Achievements, when I go online they are not updating. Does anyone know if they will ever update?

Is it because candies don't refill my health, or is it because I can't just refill my health while fighting?

title: Getting better performance out of Half-Life based games on MacBook

text: I was disappointed to find that the Mac versions of Half-Life engine games (Portal, TF2, CS:Source) have a lot of trouble running on my aluminum MacBook: as soon as there's any sort of action, the framerate drops to 5 or 10. When it's running Windows, the MacBook has no problem with these games. So, is there anything I can do to improve the performance of Half-Life engine games on OS X?

Even stranger, we still get letters from Peach that say that she is far away but so happy that Mario is coming to rescue her. But we already did! Am I missing something?

title: Can the result of the DragonVale race spin be controlled?

text: I deliberately ask this as a separate question from my question about wheel prizes, as I believe they are separate topics. I have observed that I can slowly turn the wheel before spinning, to see the possible prizes. However, despite attempts to manipulate this to my advantage, the wheel seems to have an inconsistent momentum when I apply what I believe to be similar acceleration. Sometimes it seems to just stop decelerating when it is near stopped, and other times it stops abruptly. So, is it at all possible to influence the outcome of the spin or is it just a visual sham with randomized results even when a consistent acceleration is applied?


title: How to track down a Night Creature in a city?

text: Several times in adventure mode, I've been given missions to hunt down a vampire (usually with a ridiculous kill total) hiding in a city, with nothing but a name to go on. The quest tracker only points me to an area of the city (and sometimes a point just outside the city itself). Is there any way to quickly and easily find the vampire without having to talk to every single citizen in the city and ask their name (and then accuse them of being a night creature)?

text: After placing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in a Dragonvale race, you get to "Spin the wheel" for a prize. It seems to me that the prizes are random even when I get the same place. Are the prizes consistent by race, or just random? Is there a finite list, or do they just vary slightly?


title: Is it possible to collect all experience potions in Trine at the first run?

text: I am playing `Trine` on PC (Steam version). Some achievements ask to collect all the Experience Potions in each level. Some of them seems really difficult/impossible to get to me.

title: Is there any way I can cancel the Stormcloak quest(s)

text: I joined the Stormcloaks only for the ability to gain a Trophy (PS3) but figured I would continue with the quests for the hell of it. When I found that I had to attack the town of Whiterun, I quickly decided that continuing the quests was just not going to happen with me, so I've decided to stop doing them all together. But, I wondered if there was someway I could just "Give up" on the whole operation. Or if I just have to ignore them. I don't want to attack Whiterun, but I also want to get this blasted [Jagged Crown] out of my inventory.

title: How to ungroup units in Battle for Middle Earth lotr pc game?

text: I selected archers and moved them behind peasants. Instead they have joined forces. Now whenever I select archers peasants also get selected. The archers shoot arrows while peasants idly stand and watch. How to ungroup them again? This is Lotr: Battle for Middle Earth (but I think it should be the same for BFME2 also). (Also any tips to turn this grouping feature off or to avoid this kind of problem in the future would be appreciated). Please reply fast this is urgent. Thanks.


title: Is there any way to play Battlefield 3 multiplayer from more than one xbox 360 it's installed on?

text: Is there anyway to play battlefield 3 from various xbox systems just by recovering your gamertag? I hope so... Currently I am trying to play battlefield 3 on xbox 360 at work. We have in office xbox 360 systems (yay!) but after I recovered my gamertag and attempted to play multiplayer... I was asked for the EA multiplayer code, and re-entered it. I was denied, saying that my code was already registered and that I could by another one for 800 MSP. I have played many games on other peoples systems, using my legit gamertag and maintaining my stats. Other than EA hoping to HOCK codes for 800 MSP, what can I do? EA profiles should be tied to gamertags, not hardware.

title: How do I know what dungeon I'm in?

text: A few of the old-world dungeons in World of Warcraft that were truly epic places with more content then some of the later raids have been split up in the dungeon finder so it can be done a couple ways. Depending on the particular "mode", it changes who the final boss is, and knowing who it is is important for getting your bag of crap and other bonuses. My problem is specifically with BRD, one way it ends at the warden ("Detention Block"), the other at the king ("Upper City"). Both start you at the beginning of the instance (unlike Maraudon where it will fling you half-way through it if you just need Princess)


title: Is there a way to gift Battlefield 3?

text: Is there a way to purchase Battlefield 3 and/or Battlefield 3 Premium online and be able to give that copy to a friend?

There doesn't appear to be any option to do so via Origin.


title: Are some weapons better than others at severing limbs?

text: I've noticed with the starter submachine gun (or whatever it is) I have a very tricky time severing limbs, as opposed to the old fashioned Plasma Cutter. I recall the the bullet based gun taking down human opponents well enough in the first chapter, so I suspect bullets are good against humans (and for head- shots) and the classic "tool" weapons like the Cutter and Line Gun are good for Necromorphs which need their limbs to be severed. So are "bullet" weapons only suited for human targets? If so, are there exceptions? For instance I suspect a shotgun to be fairly decent at removing limbs, and the Pulse Rifle from the first game wasn't too bad at removing limbs either.


title: Solstheim How To Survive as a Vampire From Dawnguard?

text: I finally started Dragonborn DLC. I traveled by boat from Windhelm to Solstheim. When I landed there, the weather was very gloomy but sun-rich. Blood-cursed arrows fired at the sun do not work at blocking out the sun fired from Auriel's bow. In Skyrim they create a marvelous sun-block where vampires can flourish. But in Solstheim, Auriel's bow refuses to work. I also tried the Clear Skies shout to see if it works. It does not work. What can I do except for burn in the sun?

title: What determines how many alteration/transmutation shards an item sells for?

text: You get alteration shards for selling identified magic/rare items and transmutation shards for selling unidentified items. I have not been able to figure out a way to determine how many shards are given to me for a given item. Is the sale price dependent on your character's level? Item rarity? Type of magic property? Or something else that I have not thought of? Maybe a little of randomness is involved? It just doesn't make sense to be only able to sell a rare for only 1 shard.


title: Is there a faster way to hijack helicopters?

text: When an enemy helicopter hovers over me, and I grapple on to it, I have to go through a small quick time event to hijack the helicopter. Is there a faster way to take control of enemy helicopters? Going through this routine takes a few seconds to do, and it gets old after a while. For some boats, I can just shoot both the gunner and the pilot and instantly take control. Is this kind of thing possible with other military vehicles, or am I forced to go through the motions?

title: If a champion gets temporary bonus HP through ability (e.g. Lulu Ultimate) - which HP will drain first?

text: When a champion gets temporary extra HP (not shield) through an ability (e.g. Lulu's ultimate) and he then takes damage, which HP are drained first? A little example would be -> Champ has 1.500 HP, gets ulted by Lulu adds 300 Bonus HP. Now he has 1.800 HP and gets damaged for 200 HP. After Lulu ult wearing of, does he again have 1.500 HP or will he have 1.300 HP (meaning the dmg was not "buffered" by the bonus HP).


title: How do I use my Racial Power?

I know in the other difficulties the loot is better but that is tied to what I think is the level of the monster. Now for inferno all the monsters would stay the same level ( I think). So would the loot stay the same?

title: How does the new type of secret room work?

text: In Wrath of the Lamb, I've come across a new type of secret room that works in ways I am not familiar with (primarily, unlike the standard secret room, it doesn't appear next to multiple adjacent rooms. Also, it's icon on the map is a darker question mark): ![alt secret room](http://i.stack.imgur.com/5sSb8.png) This got me wondering about just how does this new type of secret room function, primarily:   * Does the room exist on each floor?   * Is there any sort of logic to the room's location, or do I simply have to bomb walls at random?   * Can it be exposed using items that expose the regular secret room, such as the spelunker hat?


title: Is there any way to check a recently sold item's stats?

text: I've been putting rares I've found on the auction house for cheap prices, which usually results in them being snatched up relatively quickly. Afterwards, I'd love to know what sold for the particular price to help gauge how much I can charge for future rares. Is there anyway to see the stats of the item you just sold or can you only view the rare name and selling price? ![Screenshot of the completed tab in the auction house](http://i.stack.imgur.com/PQ2tB.jpg) I'm basically asking if it is possible to see what the stats were on the Doom Conclave (for example) or if I should just note what the mods are somewhere else before selling rares.

title: Minecraft Empty Chests Command Block

text: I am using the following Command to spawn a new chest at the given coordinates with stuff in it at each new round:               /setblock 264 4 997 minecraft:chest 0 replace {Items:[{id:274,Count:1,Slot:0},{id:275,Count:1,Slot:1}]}      The problem with that is that when replacing the old chest all the stuff in the old chest is thrown out. And that's pretty much **not** what I want. I need to find a way to replace a chest which _might_ have stuff in it without throwing those things out. Someone else said I should replace the given position for one tick with lava, which I tried. Works in 90% of the tries (in the other 10% the items from the chest are thrown to far away - out of the spawned lava block), but the problem with that is that I can't use it in wooden areas because it might burn everything down. So what can I do to fix that problem, because otherwise my custom made Pv.P map is not gonna work? Thanks very much!

title: How to deal with a feeding Support as AD Carry?

text: Yesterday i played some normals and ended up as Ashe with a Nidalee support. Opponents were Alistar and Jayce which should have made an easy lane. Sadly Nidalee decided to be extremely aggressive - against my request at the start of the game - which got her killed twice before 5 minutes and several times afterwards. From there on the opponents were easily able to bully me out of CS and Exp and eventually towerdive me for the kill. Is there any way to deal with a situation where the opposing carry is 2-3 kills ahead in the very early game that is more effective than begging the jungler for ganks and hugging the tower while accepting to fall behind in CS?

What happens if there is too little water? Does Water Turrets turn completely off -- or do they still provide the unupgraded 60 defense?

title: Can I get snow and light at the same time?

text: On our 1.0 minecraft server, the spawn is in the center of a snow biome. We started to create a nice little village near the spawn, building wooden houses and buildings to match with the snow theme. However, we'd like to make the village safer, and thus need to put some more lighting on the surroundings. Currently, if we put torches on the ground or near snow, the snow will melt and leave an empty ground. As we do like the snow theme for our village, how can we arrange the lighting to preserve the snow on a maximum of blocks and prevent mob spawning in the area ? Is possible, we would like to avoid having glass on the ground, which is not really realistic.

There are plenty of chests and you can farm experience in the last level before the boss. If your goal is to defeat the final boss, is there ever a reason to repeat levels?


title: Program-controlled keyboard & mouse inputs don't work with Mass Effect 1

text: I use a program called DS2Key which allows me to control my computer with my Nintendo DS Lite. I typically use this setup to play GameCube games with Dolphin (my 'cube has long since died), but I'm trying to get it to work with other games- it works best with console ports, for obvious reasons. It works by simulating keypresses and mouse movements- it says it has PPJoy gamepad emulation support, but that doesn't seem to actually work. Mass Effect 1, however, does not seem to like its inputs being controlled by another program. When ME1 is in the foreground, the computer does not respond to DS button presses or mouse movements. It works fine if I Alt-Tab to minimize the game, but I lose control again when I switch back. Does anyone have any idea why this is, and how it can be fixed?


title: SWTOR Character Transfer & Legacy Level

text: I have level 35 legacy in my main character's server. And I created another one to play with my friends in another server which has level 20 legacy. Now my friends quit the game, and I want to transfer the little one to my main's server. I checked the link below: What happens to your legacy when you transfer characters in SWTOR? Here it says:   * Unlocks will pass, quite nice.   * Old one will remain and won't be affected, nice as well But what about Legacy level? I have 35 here, if I transfer the small one to my server which is 20, will my legacy level still be 35, or will they merge the xp and become a higher legacy level?
