title: Unicorn on a Stick — what does it do?

text: I killed a unicorn and it dropped the item called "Unicorn on a Stick", which is the decapitated unicorn's head with a stick jammed in it. It is not a crafting material and cannot be equipped. What does it do?


title: Where do I find a Dwarven Armor Fragment?

text: So I failed the Little Sisters quest in Chapter 2/Roche's Path and looted a diagram for the Mahakaman Sihil steel sword. Amongst others the sword requires a dwarven armor fragment, but I don't have the faintest idea where I could get one. Maybe somebody knows?


title: How do "Spirits" in the Distillery work exactly in Bastion?

text: The potions here seem to work very differently from any other game I've played. This is how I believe they work:   1. You have a set of potions, that you either find or buy.   2. At any time, only one potion per level is active.   3. You can activate a potion in the Bastion, and this act consumes it. Its affects last permanently ... or until you choose another potion for this level. Am I right? Am I missing anything? Note that I don't refer to do normal life / power potions (those seem rather simple), but only to the special potions.


title: How do I change my personal Mii on the 3DS?

text: I imported my old Mii into the 3DS from my Wii. Now, I'd like to replace the "personal Mii" that I set up on the 3DS with the one from the Wii. Is there any way to do it, without editing the existing Mii to look like my old one? A valid workaround would be to let me erase all my Mii data (but not the purchased games on the system), and start over with an import.


title: What was going on with Watts at the very end?

text: > At the end of the game after Watts and Rosalene are talking by Johnny and > River's graves in front of the lighthouse, the "world" begins to shake and > glow red. It's the same sort of occurrence that Watts and Rosalene > experience inside Johnny's "world of memories." Also, immediately > experiencing the red shakies, Watts chugs some pain pills he denied being > addicted to earlier. Am I reading into it too much? Or is this alluding to the possibility of Watts and Rosalene's "real world" as being simply another "world of memories"? Were there some other clues dropped pointing towards this? Or is there a better evidenced explanation?


title: Tekkit factory line, avoiding item surplus?

text: I am trying to create a fully automated HV solar panel factory in tekkit, but I have a problem. The parts I need for various other parts and machines are all produced at different speeds, and some of them do not have an EMC, meaning that I cannot just chuck all the surplus items into an energy condenser to get rid of them. How can I deal with this problem? For instance, one of the machines require 2 electric circuits, some redstone, and other parts. The redstone slots are at 64 all the time, while the circuit slots in the automatic crafting table are at 1-2, meaning I over-produce redstone for this particular part of the factory. Redstone is easy to deal with, but I also have this problem with other parts. I notice that the energy condensers that produce the raw materials (through energy collectors) just fill up and stay full, is there a way to set up retrievers or what not to pull in what is needed instead of pumping them out continously from the energy condensers? Meaning, when the crafting table is ready to accept redstone, it will ask for it? Is this possible?


title: Where can I catch each of the fish required to earn the 'Pandarian Angler' achievement?

text: On the island of Pandaria, there is a variety of aquatic life forms and an achievement to capture them all. These fish are used in a variety of recipes for cooking and other things, in addition to contributing towards Zen Master Fishing. The new fish are:   * Emperor Salmon   * Giant Mantis Shrimp   * Jade Lungfish   * Krasarang Paddlefish   * Redbelly Mandarin   * Spinefish Alpha   * Flying Tiger Gourami   * Golden Carp   * Jewel Danio   * Mimic Octopus   * Reef Octopus   * Tiger Gourami Some of these fish don't appear to have pools that spawn as far as I can tell, and I have caught Golden Carp from Reef Octopus pools. Where can I find each of these fish?

title: Are Friend Safari Pokémon gender locked?

text: I have this Ponyta, Pyroar, Braixen Safari and have been trying to get a male Pyroar off it. At some point, I noticed something must be wrong and paid attention to the genders I was encountering, here are the results:   * Out of 7 Ponytas, 1 was male   * Out of 15 Braixen, 1 was female   * Out of 30+ Pyroar, none was male. This leads me to the conclusion that the Pokémon in the Friend Safari are at least very strongly shifted towards one gender, in some cases possibly even locked to one gender. Can anyone confirm or disprove this theory? I don't want to spend hours searching for that male Pyroar if it just doesn't exist...


title: How many rewards do you get from each person / good during ship battles?

text: In Sid Meier's Pirates during the ship battles you will occasionally see people and goods falling off the ships. If you pick them up what will they give you as "rewards"? I know crew will give you crew and goods will give you goods. The question really is, How many "rewards" do you get from each?


title: How does the Bukkit plugin "AsyncWorldedit" differ from "SafeEdit"?

text: I am familiar with both the plugins SafeEdit and AsyncWorldedit and how they operate, I think. If I understand correctly, SafeEdit pastes in WorldEdit files by doing them chunk-by-chunk, and AsyncWorldedit performs WorldEdit actions by having them be spaced out among each tick per second to reduce lag, to explain them very, very basically. So, my question is, **_which plugin results in better performance on a server and why?_** I have heard rumors that SafeEdit is a less stable plugin, and that AsyncWorldedit is the more stable option to take. I don't know if this is true or not, but I just wanted to confirm it with hard evidence if it is.


title: What items are only available during the Halloween Event?

text: The Halloween Event goes until November 10, and I'm wondering what items I should try to focus on getting until that time.

I know that certain NPC's sell unique items, but what should I buy before they disappear?


title: When should I start seeking out DLC missions?

text: I've already played through Skyrim on the PS3. Now, finally tired of waiting on Bethesda to re-align their fecal matter, I've bought the game and all DLC on the Xbox 360. While I did enjoy the story and everything about the game the first time around, my new playthrough on the 360 is going to be primarily targeting DLC. I'll probably be putting off a lot of the main quest line in favor of prioritizing the DLC. To that end, I'd like to know when an appropriate time would be to start pursuing the missions associated with each DLC. Do they each have a minimum level, or a particular place in the larger story? Or are they fairly well separated from the main story, and level down or up to match the player? Could I dive straight into things, right out of Helgen - or do I need to buff up a bit and slay a few dragons, giants, mammoths, etc. first? I would like an answer to cover all of:   * Dawnguard   * Hearthfire   * Dragonborn

title: How does the Shrine of the Gunbringer work?

text: I came across the Shrine of the Gunbringer where it looks like I can sacrifice something or someone it the main chamber.... How does it work and how can I use it? I saw a video of it here but when I tried jumping in it & having my friend hit the lever, it didn't do anything. Is there any criteria that has to be met to use it? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MEhsA.jpg) Some of the comments on YouTube Suggest the following: > Step 1. Go to the shrine. > > Step 2. Make SURE no person presses the button early or it will be wasted. > This has happened multiple times for me. People run up and press the button. > The light should be green on the button. If it is red, someone was an idiot. > > Step 3. Have all of your sacrifices get in the hole. > > Step 4. Sacrificed them and wait. Can anyone confirm or deny these suggestions? Sorta spoiler below: > I just completed the Rescue Roland quest. Tried the button and it did not work.

title: Overcoming a Protoss player who turtles until carriers

text: Ok I'm admittedly still a bit of a noob at this game, but I'm fairly experienced in RTS games in general, and feel that I have a decent grasp of early game strategy in SC2. However, I can't seem to beat one friend of mine (I play Terran). Here's usually what happens: I'll start a couple racks pretty early, and get a group of maybe 8-10 marines & marauders. I'll try to hit him early, but what usually happens is he is protected by a couple well placed photon cannons, which will do a decent amount of damage before I can get in his base. At that point, the couple of units he does have will usually finish me off. I'll try to keep pushing, but it's usually never enough (even more turrets now), and then eventually he'll get Carriers. At that point I usually just stop playing because even if I built up a bunch of Vikings, they are never enough for all the Carriers. Any good strategies for taking him out early? I realized I could probably expand a bunch and eventually beat him in the resource wars, but that frankly just seems boring and a waste of time.


title: What are my chances at uncrating an Unusual?

text: I have just been playing TF2 for a while now and I am still wondering what the unusual drop chance is. I understand that unusuals in TF2 can only be found through uncrating. However, when I tried to search up on the unusual drop chance I came up with several different speculations. For example: ![According to www.tf2finance.com/rate/ this is how the drop chance for unusuals are calculated](http://i.stack.imgur.com/nPw8Z.png) According to www.tf2finance.com/rate/ this is how the drop chance for unusuals are calculated However, according to Steam forum posts, people claim that the drop rate is a fixed 1% or 0.6%. > As far as i'm aware the Percentage is of 1% So, 1 in 100? But then again, > seeing as this is a binomial experiment. The results being YES or NO and the > result we pay attention being YES UNUSUAL, you are most likely to find it on > your 50th try. In other words, I am at a lost here. Since all these data is based on other peoples backpacks and the crates other's have uncrated. **My question is, has Valve ever released any info on what the official TF2 unusual uncrating chance is? If so, what is the official unusual drop rate?**


title: Why do my neighbour deals keep ending prematurely?

text: There is this strange bug (or so I assume) in Sim City 3000 where my neighbour deals are messed up. What happens is, I make a deal of selling power to a neighbour town, and immediately this deal gets cut off, and I'm bankrupt. But I know I have plenty of excess power to sell. Additionally, apart from the penalty I get (for apparently being the culprit of the cut-off deal), my finances window shows another (similar) amount that I have to pay for at the end of the year (shown in the 'neighbour deals' row), but this amount gets added at another time than the penalty for the broken deal. This has happened several times in a row. * * * According to the game's pie chart, I am using `708.000 MW-h` of power a year, and all my power plants show they use 29% of their max. capacity.   `(708.000/29 * 100) - 708.000 = 1.733.379 MW-h = the other 70% of excess power`. The neighbour deal is about me selling `50.000 MW-h` a month, so obviously I can spare that amount of power. I read something online about this, saying that the cause may be a shortage of power cables going to the neighbour town. But I installed 6 extra power cables (connecting with the respective neighbour), and my last deal was a selling of about `40.000 MW-h`, where I had only 1 power cable. So an additional 6 should be quite enough. * * * **Does anyone know what can solve this issue?** I have to fix this right away, or there's no point in continuing the game, as I'm completely broke. ## **Edit:** I've found that (at least a part of) the problem lies withing the distribution of my power. My city has a river in the center, and is built around this river on both sides. Just now, I found out that, for some reason, the power for the neighbour deal is only subtracted from power plants on just one side of the river. This causes my power plants to run at full capacity for a while (even though the deal is cancelled the very first second). I've now built a bridge over the river, with power cable towers next to the bridge on both sides of the river. But it doesn't seem to make any difference. **Does anyone know if the power _should_ get distributed by default, or otherwise how to make it distribute some other way?** Whether this works like it's supposed to or not, there is another part of the bug; after the deal gets cancelled, when I remove the power connection to the respective neighbour, the mayor of that town notifies me of the cancellation, and **again** I get a penalty/fine. So that's _two_ fines for _one_ cancelled deal. Sweet.


title: How can I advance the Companion's questline?

text: I am stuck on the Companions questline. In my journal, "Proving Honor" is marked as completed, but the top objective "Return to Jorrvaskr" isn't filled in, so it may be bugged. The Silver Hand quest has not been started. When I talk to any of the leaders, they say "Didn't Skjor already give you a job?" or something. I went through all the misc objectives that had to do with killing bandit leaders and none of them were related to Skjor (I finished them and the bounty collection was always someone else). Could this have anything to do with another questline (e.g. civil war) not being complete?

title: How do weapon statistics relate to game play?

text: I'm interested to know what the weapon stats mean in the game. I have made some assumptions, but I'm curious to know if there is any official line on them. Take the following example of adding a short barrel to my rifle. ![car-4 short barrel](http://i.stack.imgur.com/1bPLY.jpg) So does this mean that with reduced accuracy I'll have less chance to hit an enemy, so more weapon spread. What about mobility? Is a higher value better? Does it affect weapon swapping? Reloading? What benefits are there of lots of noise? There doesn't really seem to be anything in game to understand what the stats actually mean in real terms.

title: Identify this game: breaking into a museum to restore exhibits, ran on a Mac

text: So, I'm looking for a game that involves breaking into a museum, it is a point-and-click adventure. I remember playing it on the old Macs, the ones that had different color cases and a really old OS. The premise was you had to break into the Museum for something, but you had to cross through a labryinth, and you had to find keycards to get you into the museum. Like below (old image): ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Nz81K.jpg) But after you got into the museum, you had to restore the exhibits one by one, and different parts of different exhibits could be found in other exhibits. And you could interact with the exhibits, there was one in like a fair, there was one where you could explore a nuclear reactor, and Louis and Clark exhibits.

I am talking about winning with 1 and 2 stars mostly. Does anyone know if the percentage of destruction on the enemy village has anything to do with the amount of trophies you get on said 'win'? I have a feeling that it does since I have looked at the number I recieve from a 2 star at 50% and 2 star at 95%, but like I said its a personal thought. Can anyone confirm?

Next highest is 1H crossbow + quiver and the lowest dps is dual weld 1H crossbows. Is there ever a reason you would ever choose anything but a 2H crossbow/bow + quiver for end game dps? Are there other important factors to think about besides DPS (like attack speed)?

title: How does adrenaline generation for the heliotrope sign work?

text: I'm playing a sign-oriented witcher this time and I just unlocked the heliotrope sign. But I haven't seen it in action yet as I'm not building up enough adrenaline to actually activate the sign. I didn't have this problem with a Swordmanship witcher, just hitting enemies was enough to charge up the sign. For the heliotrope sign it seems to me that only magical damage increases the adrenaline bar, not damage caused by my sword. Even when I fire a few Ignis in row I don't get the bar completely charged. How does the adrenaline generation for the heliotrope sign work exactly, is it only gained by sign damage or are there other factore? What are effective ways of increasing my chance to fill the adrenaline bar and activate the sign?

text: I just got Dead Island on Steam last night as part of the summer sale (my favorite time of year). A friend and I plan on playing the whole game co-op, and I kind of want to play the Firearms character. However, I've heard in reviews and forums that guns aren't a viable option for a number of reasons, among them are these:   * Ammo is extremely scarce   * Guns do less damage   * Guns don't even show up until late game I'm looking for any hard evidence to support and/or refute any of these claims. I don't want to nerf myself by playing the Firearms character.

title: How difficult are the quests from the terminal in the Orochi Group van in Blue Mountain?

text: I finally polished off all of the 'Major' missions in Blue Mountain last night. Or at least, I thought I had, as I had done all the quests from every NPC marked on my map. Until, as I finished my last quest in the zone, I noticed a computer inside of a black van in the Orochi compound. It had two quests for me. Both were marked **devastating.** Being a fearless sort, I picked up The Filth Amendment and tried it anyway. This was not a good idea. The mobs in the quarry tore me apart, and in short order, disabused of any notions of completion, I moved on to Egypt. What I want to know though, is when should I return to Blue Mountain to take care of these quests? They were marked as devastating when I was in full QL6 gear with a QL8 weapon. At what point do these quests transition to Hard or Normal?

title: How can you free yourself from a grab in SSBB?

text: While playing SSBB, I noticed that sometimes CPU-opponents can free themselves from my grab (`B`+`1` in the horizontal Wii-Remote mote, and I believe `Z`+`A` otherwise), while I or other humans who I play with cannot. Also, the time you can hold/beat opponents while grabbing them seems to differ all the time. I guess, either this is because we manage to free ourselves while bashing random buttons, or it is randomised. Is there some trick to break loose from an opponent's grab or how does it work? Bonus: (How) Can I prevent to be grabbed at all?

He wants Charcoal, a Gum Base, and a Jelly Jar - I know how to get the Jelly Jar, but the Charcoal and the Gum Base elude me. I _did_ find a door with the word "Gum" written on it, but the door is locked, so I'm unsure how to get through if that _is_ where to go. I have no idea on the charcoal. Where can I find these items? (I'm playing Cave Story+, if that matters)

title: Mass Effect story question

text: I recently played The Arrival and part of its storyline confused me: > It said that the Reapers would arrive through the Alpha relay, which they > would use to move throughout the galaxy as it was a particularly powerful > relay. OK, fine, that makes sense, destroy the thing and slow them down. But isn't one of the central plot points of Mass Effect 1 the fact that: > the Citadel itself is one giant relay and acts as the Reapers' entrance to > the galaxy? The two plot points seem in direct contradiction. Here are my questions: > If they can get to the Citadel directly, why the fuss about the Alpha relay? > If they need the Alpha relay to get to the Citadel, shouldn't we have known > about this earlier?! Unless I'm really misremembering things, it seems a little sloppy on Bioware's writers.

title: Dark Souls 2 keeps crashing on load

text: So recently (today) my Dark Souls 2 game instantly crashing at the end of the loading screen. I thought maybe it was because I was using a symlink to sync my game saves as of a few days ago but I copied my saves folder back to where it was and it's still not working. Does anyone know what could cause this or maybe a good place to ask the question. I'm running Windows 7 (64 bit) with an AMD Phenom II processor and AMD Radeon 6800 for my graphics card. Don't know if anything else would be relevant in terms of my computer environment.

title: Changing Minecraft Biomes

text: In Minecraft, biomes are (supposedly) decided by an area's calculated temperature and moisture. A very "dry" area may be a desert, a "cold" area may be a tundra, etc. This also affects things like grass color. In my experience, forests tend to have darker grass than plains. If I, for example, plant a lot of trees in a plain, will it be handled as a forest and make the grass darker? (There's a specific area of my map that would be great for building a base, but the grass annoys me.)


title: How can I lose an election?

text: I tried my best to be the worst dictator in history of Tropico 4.   * I set wages for uneducated to 1, high school educated to 2 and college educated to 3.    * I built not a single housing building, so everyone was living in shacks except for my soldiers and generals   * Not a single church or cathedral   * Not a single garbage dump or pollution-reducing edict   * I declined every faction demand, except when it was something I would have done anyway   * Every criminal got executed without trial Some positive things I did out of necessity or laziness:   * Soldiers and generals got normal wages - I needed a happy military because of unsurprisingly strong rebel activity   * My military lived in an army base with military modernization, which gave them proper housing and health care   * I had some entertainment, but priced in a way that only the army could afford them   * I built one (1) clinic, because critical specialists dieing due to bad health care became a problem   * I had proper food supply to prevent important workers from starving   * I admit that I had a grade school, high school and college - I needed these to qualify people for my army and some administrative buildings.   * I had some police - executing criminals got tedious   * Some media buildings because the campaign goals required them. I didn't bother to demolish them after the goals were reached I was following this strategy in campaign missions 13, 14 and 16 and expected that elections might become problematic, but to my surprise people still kept voting for me. Even though I didn't even bother to have a campaign speech or do election fraud I still got over two thirds of the votes. What else could I do wrong so I need to actually put in some effort to win an election?

title: Are toughness and healing values switched between player and follower in the display?

text: On console, below the equipment ring, there are three symbols with values (and please read the whole question before jumping to conclusions here).   * Sword (DPS)   * Shield   * Two plus signs On my own character, at level 34, the values are 3177, 18.8k and 285 respectively. I would understand this to be dps (that I'm sure of), toughness, and healing. **The reason I'm asking** is that when I move over to my follower, the exact same symbols have these values:   * Sword: 398   * Shield: 498   * Two plus'es: 13.7k In other words, if the shield signifies toughness, then I have 18.8k and my follower 498? Or if the two plus'es signify toughness (unlikely if you ask me) do I really have only 285 toughness? So, is this a bug in the display, follower and own character shield/plus values are switched? Or does my follower really have 13.7k healing? This is the Templar by the way. Or have I gotten the icons completely wrong to begin with (except DPS)? Here's some more hard numbers, my own Wizard (now level 37):   * Sword: 3995   * Shield: 26.5k   * Plus'es: 353   * Strength: 65   * Dexterity: 66   * Intelligence: 1670   * Vitality: 804 Templar:   * Sword: 579   * Shield: 767   * Plus'es: 20.7k   * Strength: 468   * Dexterity: 45   * Intelligence: 362   * Vitality: 1576   * Skills: Heal (heal 4402), Loyalty (+147 regen/sec), Charge, Inspire (resource regen)


title: Sejuani vs Leona Support

text: Yesterday, I decided to mix things up a bit in teambuilder and try an irregular support. I decided on Sejuani since she has a little bit of CC (Q and Slows and after Lv6 Ultimate), I thought she'd be able to peel moderately while still dishing out damage. Pros:   * Can deal more damage than Leona   * At Lv6 She can shutdown hyper carries that try to go after your ADC or other important targets.   * Ultimate's stun is more reliable as it is slightly faster to stun and it slows just like Leona's ultimate. Cons:   * Not quite as tanky as Leona (negligible in my opinion, due to Sej Passive).   * Engaging is slightly more difficult as Sej's Q is shorter range than Leona's E.   * Only one stun (Not huge since Sej's Q knocks up enemies). My Sej Build (so far): I start with Relic and just play Passive Aggressive. I avoid taking unnecessary damage until I feel we have an opening then I go in. Fights before Lv.6 haven't gone terribly well, but not awful either. Once I hit Lv.6 it becomes an easy kill every 2 minutes or so. I've even stunned 4/5 enemies and slowed the 5th with Sej ult (something I've never even come close to doing with Leona). Relic -> Sightstone -> Iceborn Gauntlet -> Randiuns -> Situational items such as MR or Rylai's. I feel I did really well as Support Sej but obviously this was only against a couple of enemies. Once against Lux/Caitlyn and another against Thresh/Caitlyn. We won both matches, however, I can't help but feel this was solely because both teams had a Yi both games and all I had to do was Ult their Yi and ours would destroy their team. **Question(s)** : Is it agreeable that Sejuani can support? Are there other Pros/Cons I have missed? Things to keep in mind? Do you think Sej would be viable without using a hyper-carry like Yi?


title: How many Pokemon are there as of X/Y?

text: Before _Pokemon X_ and _Pokemon Y_ there were 649 Pokemon in the National Pokedex, not including variant forms. How many new Pokedex entries does _Pokemon X/Y_ add and what are the total number of Pokemon now? Particularly:   * Do the new Mega Pokemon each have their own entry in Pokemon X/Y's National Pokedex?   * Does Pokemon X/Y have a National Pokedex? What's the highest National Pokedex number of a Pokemon in X/Y?   * Does Pokemon X/Y have any legendary Pokemon like Mew, which aren't normally encountered and haven't been officially announced yet but might still appear at the end of the Pokedex? (This may be harder to answer than previous generations, since 3DS ROMs are harder to hack and therefore mine for raw Pokedex information.)


title: How does the sun work in Tiny Wings?

text: I would like to get to island 8 and I'm wondering, does the sun just tick down at a constant time chasing you as you fly (therefore you want to fly as fast as possible)? Or does it speed up as you get to later islands? Also, does it have a max where you can't get too far ahead of it? (i.e. if you go super fast on the first island does it actually help more than going regular fast? or can you only get so far in front of the sun?)


title: Swarm Host/Hydra/Viper vs. Siege Tank/Banshee/Viking

text: When I play Zerg and use a Swarm Host/Hydra/Viper build I always lose to SiegeTank/Banshee/Viking.   1. The Terran players uses his Vikings to kill my overseers before my hydra can get in position.   2. Then he uses cloaked banshees to kill hydra and swarm host in conjunction with scanners.   3. His siege tanks can take out my locust if they are behind a supply depot wall-in.   4. My vipers can't get to the siege tanks to abduct them because of the vikings. Is there a better strategy to deal with this when I have already committed to it? Would mass spore crawlers be better around my swarm host? How about a nydus worm drop in the back of his base. Alos I am constantly supply blocked because his vikings are killing my overseers faster than I can produce them.


title: 2nd player control doesn't work in ZNES 1.42 using netplay

text: Although the question is more technic- and not game-content-related I hope that someone here might help with this issue: We are 2 players who tried to play a ROM over ZSNES 1.42 on two different machines using the Netplay Function. We have no problems to connect our computers to each other using _netplay_ , when he (Player #1) starts as a server and I (Player#2) connect to his computer as a client using his IP address. We also got the game running on both our machines: **Player#1 starts** the game and via _netplay_ **Player#2 can** see the same screen as P#1 with audio, video and P#1's navigation on the screen. After starting the game in **2 Player Mode** , P#1 is able to navigate through game menus, move the character etc. but P#2 **can't move** , navigate or do anything inside the game using the keyboard settings that he configured. P#2 will be able to pause the game, change his configs and restart the game again in the emu but input via **keyboard seems to be ignored for most in-game commands**. Sometimes, when the game is restarted one key might work for p#2, but all the others which were set in the P#2 input configs are still ignored. **Here** are the specifications of our systems and which settings we already tried: **Player#1**   * acts as netplay server   * Windows 7 - 32-bit   * ZSNES 1.42   * playing with Gamepad   * Config Input#1: Keyboard/Joystick   * COnfig Input#2: None (no key set for any control) **Player#2**   * acts as netplay client   * Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS or Windows 7 -32 bit   * ZSNES 1.42 (in Ubuntu and in Windows)   * playing with keyboard   * Config Input#1: None (no key set for any control)   * Config Input#2: Keyboard/Joystick We first assumed that the differing OS of our machines would be a problem but running the game under Ubuntu or under Windows for P#2 results in the very same problem. Do you have any ideas for this? Thanks in advance!

title: Can we really hack each pc we come across in Fallout 3?

text: In Fallout 3 you can try to hack into computer terminals if you have enough science skill. If you try to hack it you get a list of words and 4 tries to choose the correct password. (rant)   I noticed that most of these terminals usually contain some trivia and are pretty useless if all you want is to finish your quest. So I typically quick save before hacking then again quickload and try again. So this time I noticed that I'm doing this repeatedly without any luck. Then while trying to solve it I found that the list of passwords doesn't contain the correct one. Here, check out ![this screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/aD5at.png). So my question is is this normal or is it a defect? And what is the best strategy to hack terminals?


title: Which happens first, the zombie dying by despair or the spawn?

text: The answer in this question states that a zombie in the zone may die of despair for every two zombies killed in the zone, but it doesn't state whether or not if this happens before or after triggering additional zombie spawns due to their presence. So if I have two zones next to each other like so: [12][0], and I clear the zombies down to: [4][0], is there a chance the zone with 0 zombies in it will spawn one zombie before the 4 in the zone that originally contained 12 zombies die of despair? Also along the same line of thought: If I have a single zone of 12 zombies, and I kill 8 of them, leaving 4, will the zone generate additional zombies first and then kill off 4 from despair, leaving the zone potentially with some zombies left, or will the 4 die first and then the zone will no longer spawn any zombies?

title: Is there a way to disable the Mighty Eagle icon?

text: The new (today!) version of Angry Birds (at least on iPhone) _offers_ the help of a new character: the Mighty Eagle. If you fail twice a level, the Mighty Eagle icon appears close to the _Pause_ icon.   Clicking on that ME icon brings the Apple _payment_ screen, so that you can get the Mighty Eagle to help you on that level (never tried, but seemingly it crashes the whole pigs construction and - I guess - you get a 3 stars by giving 0.99 cents). The things is, to get 3 stars by playing normally, requires to reload the level a number of times! Making that ME icon to appear all the time, and I don't want to pay - _cheat_ - in order to get the 3 stars... **Question:** Is there a way to prevent that Mighty Eagle icon to appear on the screen? It takes quite some place, and the screen is already pretty busy...   And while I don't intend to use that ME option, the icon is anyway available from the Pause / Restart screen.


title: Is the "auto director" startup avoidable?

text: In Double Fine's Happy Action Theatre, the game automatically starts in a "director" mode, which automatically cycles through scenes. This is usually fine, but sometimes I just want to go straight to a particular scene. I've figured out that I can wait till the game starts in director mode, then pause it and manually select the scene I want. The problem is this involves several long load times and I'm impatient. The spotlights that appear during load up appear interactive, but I haven't been able to figure out how to stop the director from being selected. Is there a shortcut to avoid the director mode on start up?


title: Why am I always "sneaking"?

text: In Skyrim I'm playing a Khajiit thief/assassin type, so as you can imagine Sneaking is one of the more important skills. In my most recent saves, though, my character appears to be sneaking all the time; he moves more slowly, rolls instead of sprinting, and his animation shows him crouching. However, no-one else in the game seems to notice! I can't make sneak attacks or pickpocket, and it's nearly impossible to move around undetected. This makes the Dark Brotherhood quests more interesting, perhaps, but a little too spectacular for my tastes. I've tried remapping the controls so that 'sneak' is on a different button but to no avail. Pressing the sneak button has no effect whatsoever. I'm assuming this is just another bug and I'll have to go back to an earlier save, but it's not the first time I've come across the problem, and I was wondering if anyone else has noticed it too. Cheers!


title: What's an effective endgame Blade/* DPS build?

text: So, I find myself in the situation of having a far better Blade than any other weapon available to me. (A QL10.1 purp would tend to be.) Fortunately, thanks to doing my vertical progression using the **Slayer** deck, and tanking 5 man dungeons for quite a while now, I've purchased every single ability in the Blade section of the Ability wheel. 100%. So I have a lot of options for how to use my shiny new cutlery. Where I find myself stymied is trying to figure out how to effectively complement it when I'm _not_ tanking. (Tanking is easy, Chaos, Escalation and Reality Fracture/Karma/Pulling the Strings as appropriate, use proper passives, hooray.) Fortunately, I'm at a point in the game where AP is relatively easy to come by, so I can branch out into any tree pretty easily, and already have most of the really great passives, as near as I can tell. I also have 10 skill points in the damage tree on every weapon. So I've got options there too. But I just have no idea what to do from all those options? What's an effective Blade/* build for DPS in Elite/NM's (yeah, yeah, I know melee in NM's, can it), as well as for survival DPS soloing elite mobs to farm signets/quest in Transylvania? AP is not an issue, nor is weapon skill. That said, double brownie bonus points* for Blade/Pistol, for reasons of both Style and Substance that are specific to my unique special snowflake situation. * To be delivered via a bounty, quantity TBD.


title: What healing abilities either scale with stats other than Healing Power, or don't scale at all?

text: Having to mix in +Healing talismans in order to improve my sustainability is a drag. Sadly, most active, and even most passive healing skills scale primarily off of the Healing Power stat. Which of course, I can't get any of if I want to max out my Attack Power or Health (or some combination thereof). I know of a few abilities that don't require any +Healing to be effective. **Turn the Tables** is the most well known, as it provides a flat, instant, 642 healing at any time. Another option for Blades users is **Point of Harmony** , which provides healing scaled based off of your max Health, for a total of 30% of max HP over 3 seconds. Are there any other healing abilities that scale based on Health or Attack Power, or which provide high, un-scaled returns for players that are not otherwise built for healing? I'm particularly interested in passives that provide these benefits, but active abilities are, of course, of interest as well.

title: How do I get the Condor VTOL out of the park for the related vehicle delivery mission?

text: I have attempted this particular vehicle theft mission at least a half dozen times now. I have to raid a STAG outpost that mysteriously popped up inside of one of the city's parks, and steal a Condor VTOL, and fly it to the airport. The problem is that this vehicle is made from papier-mâché. If it isn't already smoking by the time I fly out of the park, random police and STAG soldiers shooting at it quickly get it to that point. I can eventually get up high enough to be outside the range of small arms fire, but then when I try to land at the airport, enough soldiers have already massed there that they put the final few bullet holes in the plane and I smash into the delivery point in a charred mass of metal and phallic weaponry. What's the trick to this vehicle theft?

text: I have both Eyepet (original addition, upgraded to Move Edition) and the new Eyepet & Friends. I have a saved character for the first game on my system.

I can only guess the import was for previous DLC. Does anyone know if it's possible to import pets from the previous game into the new one?

text: If I create a world with the 'amplified' terrain setting, is ore generation affected? Will ores spawn higher than normal, or will I still have to find them at the same levels? Is their distribution changed? I'm guessing there will be an effect due to the lack of stone to generate in, but it would be good to see some data.


title: Change mini-map to North up?

text: In Need for Speed Most wanted (2012 edition), is there a way to make the mini- map stay with a fixed north position so I know which way I'm going without having to pause and look at the pause screen map?


title: What happens when stats go above the "max"?

text: I've read on some guides that certain stats have a max (usually 50). My apprentice is level 37 and has a tower damage stat of over 100: about 60 on the character and 40+ on equipment. Usually level ups take me by surprise, and I haven't had a chance to confirm what's happening to my tower damage when my stats go up. Do bonuses to these stats apply indefinitely? If not, what is the hard cap? Is there a certain point at which I should stop adding points to tower damage, tower attack rate, etc.?


title: Where can I get a basic list of all permissions that I can deny/allow in PEX?

text: I am currently building my server, and I chose the PEX Bukkit plugin. It is so far very easy to use. (Although I am a programmer, so any weird settings file that you have to edit using the command line hooked via SSH to your Raspberry Pi is easy.) That's not the point. I have been wondering is there a Wiki or similar page that lists all the basic permissions in a fresh Bukkit install? I can easily get them for my mods mods; almost all of them are well supported and have a little section on their page. The ones that aren't I would never give away the power to use them "cough cough anti-greif." However I cannot find a simple list of the basic permissions that will be compatible with PEX. **What I want are things like "stop server" or "help" that are standard to Minecraft.**


title: Is there a way to determine weapon strength

text: In the description of the weapons I see range, speed and fire rates. However there has to be a difference in power.


title: How can I create a "master" switch with redstone?

text: How can I create a "master" switch with sub-switches all connected to the master switch? When then master switch is turned on, it allows power to go to all the sub-switch (when the sub-switches are on). When a sub-switch is turned off, its output cannot receive power.


title: Where can I farm Titanite Chunk?

text: Titanite Chunk being the item required to upgrade Normal weapons from +10 to +14, and some armours from +6 - +9. No merchant seems to sell it, and I really would like some. Where can I farm for Titanite Chunk?

title: Lost my default weapons in Garry's Mod

text: I went onto some random server and I didn't spawn with my default weapons. All I had was a physics gun. Which was what I was spawned with when I started a singleplayer game after this. I had nothing else. How can I get the other guns back?


title: Where does Modern Warfare 3 save your profile information?

text: I'm wondering where Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3's saved games folder sits, especially when you use steam to install and play the game. After "tricking" Steam to installing it from the disk, rather than downloading it from the Internet, it never asked where I would like to install it (from what I can remember) and it doesn't put it under the usual program files (x86) folder. I would like to find this out so that I can backup my saved games, in case something happens to them.

text: Does anyone know where the saved games are stored in Cognition Episode 4? I am using a Windows 8 x64 PC.


title: Which mushrooms are edible?

text: I know the mushroom color/symptom combination is random for each game, but are there any methods for discovering which mushrooms do what? Example: The game starts with you eating a poison mushroom. Does that mean the mushroom that grows in that spot is always poisonous?


title: Situations Where Demon Hunter would Be Better with Enchantress/Scoundrel as Follower

text: I'm slowly playing solo only Diablo 3 and just had the option to have the Scoundrel be my companion. Right now I'm pretty happy with having the Templar since he is acting as the melee part of my party. However, it dawned on me that perhaps I'm being too close minded about this and perhaps I should also start leveling the Scoundrel (and/or the Enchantress once I get her). Without spoiling anything, are there cases/situations where it would help to have two ranged attackers instead of just me playing the ranged Demon Hunter and having the Templar act as a tank?


title: Is there any benefit to destroying non-target breakable objects?

text: There are certain items in the environment that can be destroyed by attacking it but are not directly targetable. You can't click on them to destroy them (like breakable urns), you have to hold your ground in front of one and swing at it or shoot something at it. e.g., fire urns in crypts ![a fire urn](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KfcGU.jpg) **Are there any benefits to breaking these down?** As far as I can tell, breaking them doesn't count toward the "break stuff achievements" ( **Breaker** , **Destructor** and **Bull In A China Shop** ) and they don't seem to drop anything. It seems as they are only there for aesthetic reasons. But is there something that I'm missing?


title: How do you use health items in Borderlands 2?

text: I played Borderlands 1, but it's been a long time. I've searched through the menus, and I can't see how I use any of the red health items. I know I must have some, because when I approach new ones they say "Full". Help?


title: Do 'Rooster Bakery' and 'Hot Song Karaoke' actually exist?

title: How exactly does a drugstore robbery work?

text: I am a little bit confused about the robbery of a drug store in GTA Online. So I have some questions:   * After the robbery, I sometimes get a 2-star wanted level, and other times a 3-star wanted level. Why does this happen?   * Is it harder to lose the cops after a robbery? I have a lot of problems after a robbery to lose them.   * Sometimes, when I drive by a drug store which I already robbed, I automatically get a wanted star. Why?   * Do you have some other usefull hints for me?


title: What are the base statistics for Diablo 3 classes?

text: I am currently making a spreadsheet of all the classes (at level 60) stats when they are wearing no gear. What are the base statistics (wearing no gear) for the monk, wizard, and witch doctor? If you have any of those classes at lvl 60 could you please take off all your gear and post all your stats, I would be eternally grateful!! EDIT: I apologize, I should have clarified, I need all statistics, not just the dex,int,vit, and str. so armour, damage, resistances, dodge chance etc please


title: Bidding in the Auction House

text: When buying items in the auction house, it's not immediately apparent (or at least, wasn't to me) how bidding works. Buyout is straight forward by comparison. Based on my own selling experience, it seems like very few people are making use of the bid option; perhaps because it's not obvious how it works. Basically, what happens when I choose to bid on an item?


title: Broken quest (Leifnarr's death). Is it possible to fix it?

text: as per subject I'm on PS3 and unfortunately I've uncovered the body of Leifnarr before getting the quest. Is it possible to _get_ the quest after you've found the body? I've read around on PC you can re-trigger the quest... Is it there the _console_ on PS3? I could connect a USB keyboard in case and try reset it.


title: What does the "Low morale" effect on items do in Dragon Age: Origins?

text: I've come across one or two items with "Low morale" listed as an effect (mainly with the gift-become-items from the Prank DLC), but what does that do to the wearer? I myself would guess that it impacts on Mental Resistance (being low morale = run away more often) and maybe have an effect on hit rate, but does anyone know / can confirm what effect it has on the wearer?


_Alternate Title: "How can I choose between The Raw and The Cooked?"_ Cannibals are the main Reaper ground enemy you encounter in Mass Effect 3, so called because they devour the corpses of their fallen allies to regain armor and strength. Disruptor and incendiary ammo both do an excellent job of killing them, but they leave a pesky buffet luncheon lying around for any Fine Young Cannibals who come along. I'm Not Satisfied by this. I don't have Liara's warp ammo (because She Drives Me Crazy), which means that I'm left with Cyro ammo, which - in contrast to The Flame and disruptor rounds - shatters enemies if I kill them while they are frozen. It seems reasonable to assume that once an enemy has been shattered, It's O.K. to ignore him, but what if all I'm doing is turning them into convenient, bite-sized chunky salsa for their compadres to enjoy? Suspicious Minds want to know: **Does shattering a frozen Reaper prevent his friends from eating him?**


title: Why didn't my total score increase by same amount that my high score increased?

text: For example, in one level, my highest score was '96,850' and then I got a better score of '98,570'. So that means my score for this particular level should be increased by '1,720' points. However, when I check my rankings, I found that my total score (for Pig Bang only) was only increased from '1,925,475' to '1,926,145', which is an increase of '670' points. There are other situations where I got a better score of about '600' points but the total increased only by about '400'. All the scores were taken as snapshots on the new iPad, so I can do calculations with good accuracy. Does anyone know why the scores increase differently? **Update: After some more playing, I just noticed that the Pig Bang level says I have a score of`1,961,015`, with 90 stars out of 90 stars obtained, while if I go to the Rankings of Game Center, it says my score for Pig Bang is `1,959,240` -- and this score was updated as soon as I got higher score in one level, so it looks like this score is very up to date. But why different from `1,961,015`?**


title: Play a specific mission over in Mass Effect 3

text: So I'm playing through mass effect 3 and I need to go back and get reference shots from certain levels. I was too used to steam and got this on on origins so all my screen shots didn't take. I need them for reference material for a project. Specifically the comm tower on palaven. I now have a screen cap system in place but that mission takes a bit to get to so I don't want to run through the intro of the game again just to get there.


title: What affects the matchmaking?

text: When you search for a village to attack, how does Clash of Clans choose an enemy village? Does it only choose villages by people with a similar amount of trophies, who are in the same league, does the town hall level also matter or is there anything else that influences the matchmaking?

title: I am having trouble interacting with the Brotherhood

text: Im having a bit of a problem. I did the still in the dark mission, talked to the elder who said that lockdown will be over. I received 1000 xp. Then I went to Hardin telling that he could knock out the elder of place. He said he has been waiting for this. I also received 1000 xp from Hardin. Talking to the elder, he also announced that the lockdown will be lifted and it has been lifted, cause i receieve the ammo from the locker next to the entrance. The problem is that i cant talk to the elder because he keeps responding that he needs to defend himself from hardin's charges. Hardin also doesnt respond sayin he is too busy and i should come back in a few days. I have waited a lot but nothing seems to change and i am stuck. Can any1 help? Note: I have done the crazy,crazy,crazy mission after the unsuccesful try to speak to the elder i think in the good way. I fought my way to the broadcast station, repaired the robot and tabitha gave me the key. I unlocked the second floor room with the key found under the stairs.


title: Varied NPC AI in left 4 dead?

text: Do the different characters have different AI behaviors? While playing left-4-dead with two of my friends we endless joke and complain about Coach's sniper shotgun. He seems to last hit special infected from extreme distances with a _shotgun_. Obviously, his super-human aim is attributed to the fact that he's a bot. But what about his preference for a shotgun? How about his bias towards killing special infected over common?   Rochelle on the other hand seems to prefer to mow through common infected like a meat grinder with an automatic rifle. Is this just me seeing a ghost in the machine or is there more to it?

title: What is the mineral composition of each type of ore?

text: In EVE Online, each type of ore refines into one or more mineral, so for example, Veldspar regardless of type (Concentrated, Dense, etc) will always refine 100% into Tritanium. While the information page for each ore will tell you what it breaks down into, this is pretty vague and will result in something like the following; > With a large portion of nocxium the Hemorphite is always a good find. It is > common enough that even novice miners can expect to run into it. Hemorphite > also has a bit of tritanium, pyerite, mexallon and isogen as well as trace > amounts of Zydrine. It requires 500 ore units to refine. I'm more specifically interested in a breakdown for each ore of the following;   * How much ore is required to refine   * What the mineral composition of each type of ore is   * How much of each mineral you will get by refining


title: Thieves Guild Predicament

text: So i have just kind of learned about the Nightingale armor and how cool it is an all. I figured out i have to complete the thieves guild questline. (On a side note I'm level 40 dark elf and have been playing the elder scrolls since Morowind so I'm not new to this. Also I am playing on 360, if that helps.) Anyways, I went into my quests and do not see a quest on the list of quests I found for the specific questline. Here is my problem. I have joined the guild, but that was a long time ago. I have no clue weather I succeeded in planting the ring or not. In addition, NO matter where i look, i can not find Brynjolf in Riften. Is there any way I can still start these quests? Also, all of the odd jobs I ask for are auxiliary quests except the "No stone unturned quest" and I only need Proudspire Manor to complete that quest. Is that another way to access the main questline? Thank you in advance, any advice is helpful.


title: Is it possible to get to Diglett's Cave in the sequence suggested by the Pokemon Blue/Red town map?

text: The sequence of locations in the Pokemon Blue/Red town map (if you just keep pressing the up button) is: >   1. Pallet Town > >   2. Route 1 > >   3. Viridian City > >   4. Route 2 > >   5. Viridian Forest > >   6. Diglett's Cave > >   7. Pewter City > >   8. Route 3 > >   9. Mt. Moon > > > > ... > > 43. Route 22 > > 44. Route 23 > > 45. Victory Road > > 46. Indigo Plateau > > 47. Power Plant This entire sequence matches the order in which you encounter each of these areas in the normal course of gameplay, with the exception of Diglett's Cave, which you don't normally encounter until later in the game. Is it possible to access Diglett's cave at an earlier point in the game, as is suggested by its location in the Town Map?

title: Do the afflicted become random events?

text: When completing the daedric quest "The Only Cure" you meet a series of NPCs designated "The Afflicted". I was wandering Skyrim north of Solitude when I encountered two "Afflicted Remnants" fighting with each other before attacking me. Was this a fluke or do these "afflicted remnants" become random events such as bandits & thieves in the wilds of Skyrim? The Elder Scrolls Wikia says that a group will be sent out to hunt the dragonborn after the quest, but now that I have dispatched them once will they reappear?

title: Why do I shoot enemies in the left arm most of the time?

text: Here are my Counter Strike 1.6 `rankstats` for a certain period of play:               Kills : 971 (309 with hs)     Hits  : 3727     Shots : 17387     Acc.  : 21.43%          HITS      :     head      :  424 (11.95%)     chest     :  607 (17.10%)     stomach   :  406 (11.44%)     leftarm   : 1214 (34.21%)     rightarm  :  420 (11.83%)     leftleg   :  223 ( 6.28%)     rightleg  :  255 ( 7.19%)      Notice the very high percentage of shots aimed at the enemy's left arm. When shooting, I normally aim for the chest hoping for a headshot on the second or third fire but too may shots on left arm is unexplainable. Do I need to change my game settings? Or change my shooting strategy perhaps?

title: Will the Xbox 360 Slim wipe an external hard drive's memory in the formatting process?

But does the Xbox 360 Slim clear the data currently on it? I want like 100gb for the Xbox and the rest for the PC. I'm pretty sure you can select and amount you want to use for the Xbox but does it clear the rest?


title: How to reconfigure my Xbox 360 hard drive back into a hard drive?

text: I first had a 20G hard drive on my Xbox and I was running low on space. I got a 60G hard drive and a cheap transfer cable off Amazon. I accidentally plugged it in the wrong way and configured it so that the only way to use the hard drive is if you have it plugged in like if you are transfering data. You can't put it on the top because it says that there is no hard drive plugged in. Also, out of the 60G, I was only allowed to use 32G. Now I'm running low on space again and wondering if there is any way to configure it back into a hard drive where you can place it on the top and not need a cable.

text: Conversations in Skyward Sword can take... a while. The text is slow to appear, and it seems you have to wait for _all_ of it to appear. It literally makes me grind my teeth in rage when I accidently talk to the same character a second time, and have to wait through four or five text boxes for 30 seconds or more. Is there any way to hurry my interlocutors up, and keep my dentist happy?

title: What are the consequences of your decision on the plane in Deus Ex?

text: I was assigned to kill an NSF leader on a plane in LaGuardia National Airport, but Paul has been urging me to side _with_ the NSF. My murderous nano-aug superior is insisting that if I don't kill the guy, SHE will do so. It felt like a serious breaking point with major plot ramifications. On my first attempt, I died horribly. On my second attempt, I was able to kill Anna Navarre, and the NSF leader actually survived! I'd gone so far as to booby trap the plane with land mines, though, and I inadvertently set one off before I could talk to the guy. On all my subsequent attempts, Anna either killed the guy before I can kill her, or she wound up killing me herself. I finally gave up and just resumed playing from a file where both of them died in the altercation. Does the NSF leader have anything more to tell you if you save him from Anna? Does Gunther wind up killing him? What would have happened if I'd followed my superiors' orders and either killed him outright or let Anna kill him?


title: Change account in Hay Day

text: I am finding it near impossible to change accounts in Hay Day. Is it possible and if so, how do you do it? I started playing on my iPad, and leveled up. I downloaded Hay Day on my iPhone and synced it with my Facebook account and it loaded my existing game. I now want to start over and play a totally independent game on my iPhone and leave my iPad playing its existing leveled up game. I tried disconnecting my Facebook from the settings. I logged out of the game center. I made a new game center account, I made a new Facebook account, I did every combination of the two of these things and no matter what I do every time I log into Hay Day it loads my existing game. It even loads my existing iPad game when I'm logged OUT of Facebook, AND logged OUT of Game Center, deleted the game, re-installed the game and opened it (while logged out of everything) and it is still _somehow_ finding and loading my existing iPad game. what gives?


title: Free Timsh in The Brigmore Witches?

text: In _The Knife of Dunwall_ , I decided to have Barrister Arnold Timsh arrested (the dastard had it coming). Now, I'm in Coldridge Prison and Timsh is asking me to get him out, telling me that this is the chance of my life. Although I'm financially self-sufficient, I guess a little extra coin couldn't hurt, but I don't really trust Timsh to uphold his end of the bargain, and I'm worried about my reputation too; also, it would be pointless to free him, if he's just going to get himself killed by the guards. What are the consequences of freeing Timsh? Will I have to expect retaliation from his niece, Thalia? What about Wiles Roland?   Will Timsh ever find out it was me who sent him there in the first place?


title: How can I "check in" at a hotspot?

text: Watch Dogs has the ability to "check in" at various locations throughout the game, which provides perks and some online integration. The first of such locations that I've arrived at is the Lighthouse. I was greeted with a tutorial that discusses using the app to check in at these hotspots but when I try and use the app on my phone to check in at the lighthouse I end up caught up in a bunch of screens detailing the current mayor of the lighthouse along with a bunch of other options that say I have to check in first. I have tried setting waypoints using the GPS to the check in location but since I'm on the island with the lighthouse on it these are doing absolutely nothing. How can I "check in" at a hotspot? What am I missing?


title: Questions about streaming videos on Xbox 360

text: I got an Xbox 360 with 250Gb harddrive and I have some questions.   1. I been trying to stream some movies from my computer to my Xbox 360 with Windows Media Center. I noticed that the quality is better when I burn them to a DVD and play them through my DVD player. How can I improve the quality? I have an HDMI cable hooked up.   2. When I play these streamed videos they are always in a zoom mode (Zoom 1). Is it possible to disable zoom?   3. If I am streaming from my computer to my Xbox 360 (so it is connecting via wi-fi to my router). Does it use internet bandwidth? I would think not since everything is local.   4. How can I copy files from my PC over to my Xbox 360? I tried to put them on a USB key but I can't figure out how to copy them over to my harddrive.


title: When is it appropriate to buy gunships as BIOS?

text: BIOS have a long research period (10 minutes per item). This means that if they do not get gunships, they may have a hard time even surviving for the time that it takes to get a tech base and real tech up. However, getting a gunship will delay real tech even further while only covering you and your mining for circa 20 minutes (the time for the enemy team to get adv tech online). What are factions matchups or situations that make buying gunships as BIOS a good idea?

title: How can I take advantage of meeting myself?

text: In Millennia Altered Destinies it's possible to run into an alternate version of yourself. When communicating with the other you's vessel, it's possible to transmit a numeric code. I've played this game many times but have never been able to figure out what to do in this situation. The developers of the game (Take 2 Interactive) have this to say about the situation: > You are in the fifth dimension. An anomaly of time travel is that on rare > occasions, you will actually meet another version of yourself that is > traveling from another time, outside the material plane. When you encounter > this phenomenon you can use it to your advantage, if you are very clever. > There is some information that we can't bring ourselves to divulge to > anyone. I'm hoping to be very clever by asking this question here and getting the answer that way, not knowing what to do here has been bugging me for the past 15 years.


title: Do the blue birds in Angry Birds speak French?

text: When you launch them, the blue birds say something that sounds very much like _Salut les amis!_ in French ( _Hello friends!_ ). Furthermore, other bird screams sound like _Oui!_ ( _Yes!_ ), though this is arguably more of a coincidence. I wonder if the developers at Rovio started from samples in French and modified their pitch in order to use them in the game. Can anyone (in)validate that?


title: Configuration gets reset, and cannot find BIOS in ePSXe

When I attempt to reconfigure it using the wizard, it states that it cannot find the BIOS in the ePSXe folder even though it is still there and worked previously. I also noticed (in the video section of the config menu) that the plugin was no longer selected, so I would not be surprised if this was also not being detected anymore. Is there a solution to this problem?

text: I am unsure of how this works, does the effect increase both the _maximum_ and _current_ resource or just the _maximum_? For example if I have a max health of 200 and I am currently at 100 health, I drink a potion that does Fortify Health 25 points for some amount of time. Does my _current_ health increase to 125 along with my _maximum_ health increasing to 225?


title: What causes the trade window to be grayed out in the Trading Post in the game Banished?

text: I started playing Banished today, and I'm having problems with the Trading Post. The last two ships to come to the Trading Post, I have been unable to trade with. The ship currently at my dock has cattle for sale, and I have over 3000 food (corn, peppers, and fish) available to barter. For some reason, the right hand side of the trade window is grayed out. My desired inventory matches my inventory on hand, so I know its not that. At first, I blamed my workers, but even after adding more workers, I can't get the right side of the trade window to enable. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/TOmjh.png) I have checked the in game help system, as well as the wiki, but I've not been able to find an answer. Any ideas what is going on with my trading post?


title: What is so good about Protoss Motherships?

text: I don't really understand what is so good about Protoss Motherships. They call them the "ultimate Protoss unit", but when I built one, it wasn't very good. I understand that they can teleport units, but other than that, what can they do?


title: Is there a way out of being stuck in base in Siege Mode as Derpl?

text: I teleported back to base in Siege mode as Derpl and now I'm stuck there due to "E" being both the shop key and Siege mode deactivation. Is there any way to transform back into Walker mode other than the hotkey?


title: How can I load chunks without circling around the world?

text: Is there a way to load non-existing chunks without a player traveling? I am asking this because everyone know that worldGen causes a ton of lag in server world, and I don't want to circle around the map just to form the chunks. So I want to know if there is any way to load these chunks without player intervention.

text: How do multiple secrets interact in hearthstone? Let's say I'm playing a hunter and I play both an explosive trap and a misdirection. When I'm attacked by a minion which trap will trigger?


title: Ways to prevent overheating on XBOX 360?

text: My XBOX 360 sometimes freezes because it gets overheated. Mainly because I don't have a lot of ventilation in my room. So I was thinking about buying a fan to cool it down. After searching a little on Amazon I found a couple of them, but in the reviews people said that these fans didn't help at all, their problem only got worse. Any sugestion on how I can cool down the XBOX without having to put a fan in front of the console?


title: How can I get the tourism bonus for having the same religion as another civilization?

text: According to the Civ5 wiki, your civilization gains a 25% (40% with Aesthetics) bonus to tourism to other nations that share the same "majority religion". **What does it mean for two civilizations to share a majority religion?** Since each city within a civilization can have a different religion, I'm not sure what this entails.


title: The Eye of Cthulhu disappeared after I reloaded the game. Is there a way to get it back?

text: I was playing Terraria earlier, having just reached the Hell layer (~3000ft.) and after I killed one of those annoying imps, I got a message stating: > You feel an evil presence is watching you. I read on the official Terraria Online forums that it means the Eye of Cthulhu is about to spawn at the surface. Unfortunately, after receiving the message, I saved the game and quit to look online for that message means (while still in Hell). When I reloaded the game and spawned at the surface, during night- time, Cthulhu wasn't there. Is there any way to get the Eye back?
