title: Inflict damage when player is hit by minecart

text: Is it possible to test when a player gets hit by a minecart, then inflict damage on the person hit by the minecart based on the speed of the minecart? If testing for the speed of the minecart isn't possible, that's okay. This is as far as I got with this:               /testfor @e[type=MinecartRideable]      Obviously, this command block would be running on a constant redstone loop, and would feed into the command block testing for the player, then into the command block that does damage to the player, unfortunately, I just can't figure out how to test for the player in the same location as the minecart. Does anyone know how to do this? Is it possible? As always, any help is appreciated, thanks!


title: Two stealth kills in less than three minutes

text: In the game Assassin's Creed for the Xbox 360, in the memory block 4 one of the informers from the rich district of Damascus will give you a mission to assassinate two guards in less than three minutes. It must be done as a stealth kill, that is, no witnesses (or at least not witnessed by guards). But the NPCs I must kill only wander on streets full of guards. I don't get a single moment with the white icon indicating I'm unnoticed. If I try using the hidden blade while the icon is yellow, the mission fails. If I try to throw a knife from a certain distance I am imediatelly noticed. I tried to follow this video (see @ 8:10) but after killing the targets I immediately become discovered and the mission fails. How do I complete this mission?

text: Say you have gotten a city started and you hate it. You have enough money to start a new one, all bonds free, etc. What effects would it have if I completely flattened everything? Utilities, buildings, zones, town hall, everything. Would it be like starting fresh, or would there be something "left"? Like angry people caused by me destroying everything or whatever?

title: How do I enable 3D for my glasses?

text: I have an ASUS X53S with GT540M. Recently, I bougt a BenQ Xl2411T (which says nvidia 3D vision ready) and nvidia 3D glasses. According to the short install manual, there should be item for stereoscopic 3D in the nvidia control panel, but I can't find it. Is there something more that needs to be done, except install latest nvidia drivers (from nvidia / 3Dupdate) ? Or does this Asus model not support 3D glasses? I'm starting suspecting that's because of two video adapters - NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M and Inter HD Graphics 3000. Is there a way how to disable build in (Intel Graphic) adapter?

title: Watch dogs unusual crash. Requires hard-reboot. (PC)

text: I realize a lot of people are having problems with Watch Dog's on the PC, but this crash seems to be really unusual (I haven't seen anyone else report something like it), and their forums have been next to useless in helping me fix or at least find the problem. **EDIT** So after trying various different things, detailed here and in the comments, I think we're going to just go with "It's the game" for now. I have one option, try reseating the CPU as suggested - but that's not really practical for me just yet (Will do it within the next few weeks probably). If I get it working short of the game patching and fixing it then I'll be sure to answer this with what I did. Until then I guess time will tell. Anyway, ty to those who have commented to help! **End Edit** **PC Specs (General)**               Core i7 950 @ 3Ghz     24GB DDR3 Ram     nVidia GTX 580     Windows 7 Pro (64-bit)      **DXDIAG:** http://pastebin.com/R3cL7W6H **Updated** _for clarity and to keep it briefer and more to the point. I seemed to get a lot of the same responses (Try it on low), so I figured I probably wrote this up in a way that was unclear. Sorry about that_ To state upfront, because I know Ubisoft installs it to a different place and has had it's own issues, I bought the game off steam (though as expected it still goes through uplay to play). Basically my computer will -completely- lock up at seemingly random times while playing. I have tried playing it right after a reboot, making sure everything except essentials were off (including AV / Firewall), but it still persists. Nothing will respond, and I have to hard-reboot the computer (Power button / Power cord) in order to get out of it. It's crashed in the main menu, crashed in game, crashed loading a game, crashed in the settings menu, before even getting to the main menu after first starting it up, etc... It seriously seems to be random. One time I played for a good 30 - 40 minutes, today I fire it up for the first time and it crashes before I even get to the main menu. I have looked for **What I have tried, in a list**   * I have tried the game at low (Everything down as far as I could, at a windowed res of 1440x900)   * I have tried re-installing the game   * I have tried rebooting, shutting everything unneeded down, etc. Including AV/Firewall (For which I use avast / comodo if it matters)   * Updating my graphics drivers (was actually the first thing I did.) I am currently on 337.88)   * Tried a settings "optimization" tool some one posted up on the ubisoft forums that had some presets.   * It crashed just the same then as it did at the default settings it shipped with. **Where it crashes** So far, it has done this lockup (And again, they are all seemingly random): - In the menu screen - Before the main menu screen - On the main menu/settings windows - Loading the game - In the game, random times **So far I have looked for (And found none) of the following:**   * Error logs (either in the steam folder for the game, ubisoft folder for the game, appdata, my games/documents/etc)   * Event viewer data   * Crash dumps, anywhere. Also looked for windows crash dumps.   * Driver errors   * etc   * Basically, I find absolutely nothing to tell me what's wrong **Has it happened before?** It has done this _once_ before in Saints Row 3 a few months back. I had Saints Row 3 running with Diablo 3 in the background. I was never able to reproduce it. I have played Skyrim heavily modded with ENB and all that, high settings (as far as I could push the system anyway). I have played: thousands of hours of diablo, also WoW, over 900 hours of SR3 and 4, over a thousand in skyrim. This has only happened once before, and only something I can recreate on this game (albeit random). Again, any help is appreciated! Anyway, as I said, edited to make it a bit less long winded and hopefully a lot more clear! Thanks to those have replied in comments already! **Updated Information** One of the times the game crashed, I had Speccy going. **GPU temp when game crashed, CPU temp in general** : 61c. After running a benchmarking tool called y-cruncher which multithreaded calculating 1.5b units of pie and is keeping the CPU at 100% usage and using up about 13GB of ram (and climbing), the CPU stayed steady at 68/69c with my room temp 10f above normal. Once I turned on my AC, which is on 95% of the time, it's started to work it's way back down (64c and dropping). Benchmarking tool is 72% done and has been going for about 15 minutes now no issues. **BIOS update** Flashed my BIOS to the latest. Had no effect at all. I started the game and left it on the main menu to get dinner, which was about five minutes, came back and my system was locked up again. Had speccy running on the other monitor. Don't remember exact numbers, but CPU was in the low 50s or so, GPU was in the low 60s). MB temp was in the low/mid 30s. So those were all fine. RAM and VRAM usage wasn't an issue, it wasn't using a whole lot in the menu (And honestly I've had other apps using much, much more than this has as far as ram goes) **General update** The more and more I think about it, the more and more I'm seriously starting to think it's just a game bug, or at worst an OS bug conflicting with the game and I need to reformat (which I'm doing in about a week anyway). I was worried about hardware at first but after all the stuff I've tried and been unable to reproduce it in anything except this game, I'm starting to think different. One comment suggested I run a mem test as it could be hitting an unused segment of ram, or maybe a bad stick. While at first I thought "Yeah that could be" - the fact that I have yet to have that happen after using a lot of other very memory intensive programs (I've filled it up 90% or more), I'm starting to think otherwise. Plus, if the game is using THAT much ram in the menu when the recommended is 8GB, then something is still wrong with that game. I'm thinking I might honestly wait for the patch, but I do welcome and other suggestions you all might think of. Thanks again!


title: Battlefield 3 all stats lost

text: today I launched Battlelog to set up and play multiplayer, and when going to the loadout screen everything was locked with no progress. when I went back to the main screen, all the stats were reset. is this permanent or will it come back later? note that I'm not premium and thus don't have access to the reset stats feature so I couldn't have done it on accident that way. edit: the activity feed still shows things being unlocked, it's just not in the load out screen anymore edit2: now it displays the stats intermittently, but in the game it starts over so I'm not really making progress.

title: Do Oculary beams in Skyrim only have two positions that don't work?

text: I'm trying to focus the Oculary in Skyrim on an XBOX 360. I have every type of flame and frost spell, can hit the crystal in alternate shots or together - but no matter what I try, what combination of spells, order, where I shoot from - the beams go up in a narrow 'v'(the original position) and down in a wide 'V', stopping in the same two positions each time. Neither formation has the beams cross where the mirrors can stop, and the beams always stop on the edge between the sliding rings the mirrors are on. ( in the original position, one of the beams is above the rings, not even ON a mirror ring at all.) I have tried going back to an earlier save, but I had such a bitch of a time killing that automaton ( I suck at shooting stuff) that I really don't want to go back to any saves before that. No matter what i do, I can't get this to work. Since I KNOW the Staff of Magnus is at Labrynthian, can I just go get it? Or do I need to finish this quest to make the next one work? Can I get out of this dang room without having to go all the way back through the dwarven ruins? That took hours.

title: Is a shield or dual wielding better for shamans?

text: A friend just got dual spec. for her Level 40 Shaman. She had been enhancement spec. for soloing and leveling. Now she's adding a resto spec for work with groups. She's asking about the trade offs between using a shield vs. an offhand weapon (obviously when she in her enhancement spec). To me it seems obvious that she should be in her resto spec. when healing, and only be in enhancement when tanking or doing DPS. It also seems obvious that she should use a shield any time she's tanking (unless she has a really good item for her offhand that somehow beats out the damage mitigation from all that extra armor). Now she's asking about how that relates to her dodge/parry talents. (Does the average frequency of dodging/parrying mitigate as much or more damage than the extra armor from a shield? Does the second weapon improve or affect dodge/parry at all? Does a shield offer benefits to dodge/parry? (Is that what the "blocking" factor is)? I suggested she just go solo a few mobs that are about 3 levels higher than her ... say 10 with the shield and 10 with dual weapons. Then review her combat log and figure out the benefits from that. I think she'd be able to feel the difference without even doing any mathematic analysis.

title: Why am I taking damage after timing out Senator phase 2?

text: I'm going for the no-damage achievement against the Senator, and I'm aware that to avoid damage in phase 2 I have to time it out. But both times I've managed to trigger the unavoidable move that immediately moves to phase 3, it's dealt damage! Raiden goes from 190% to just over 150% hp as the transition to the next phase begins. I haven't cleared phase 3 after this yet but I have to assume that I won't get the no damage tag. Is there something I have to do to prevent the unavoidable move from dealing damage? Am I mistaken in thinking that the damage I took will prevent the no-damage bonus and achievement? I'm playing on PC and entered the fight from the chapter select menu.

title: Where is there a key to the different redstone circuit notations used on the minecraft wiki?

text: There are lots of schematics of minecraft circuits online, but few of them reference the notation they are using and I am finding it hard to chase down what some symbols mean. The page on Advanced Redstone Circuits references the MCRedstoneSim format. The most recent version of that is 13 January 2013. It does not contain symbols used on many minecraft schematics. For example Layer 0 of a shift register here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-discussion/redstone-discussion- and/342872-grizdales-shift-register has squares with grey and red/grey triangles in them. I have no idea what they are supposed to be. On the wiki itself there are weird triangular things as well, for instance a diagram of an edge detector (http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Pulse_circuit#Edge_detector) has things I don't understand in it. Is there a reference for these notations somewhere? (I am trying to make a simple 2 bit shift register as it happens).


title: Location with High Salvagable Materials Drop Rate

text: So with the February Monthly Achievement; we need to salvage 500 items. This comes out to roughly 18 per day (assuming you play every day this month); but for the sake of argument lets say I want to salvage 25 items per day. What areas have mobs that will drop salvageable items at an acceptable rate? Ideally; I'd think you'd want enemies that would typically drop armor/weapons. Ones that drop rare crafting materials (while helpful) seems to be less important. Also; it seems like you'd want to avoid enemies that drop bags (as you get no salvage points for them). My assumption is that I'd want to run dungeons a bunch of times (3 fractals seem to fill up a good chunk of my inventory) as well as areas with lots of humanoid enemies (pirate/bandit camps) Another viable strategy seems to be spinning up a new alt and ranking up my crafting skill and then salvaging the created items. (Currently my main is an ele with Tailor/Artificer; so fire up a ranger with Leatherworking/Huntsman)

title: Do Sigils of the Night stack?

text: If I put a Superior Sigil of the Night on both my main hand weapon and my offhand weapon, will they stack to +20% damage? The other two static damage bonus sigils, Sigil of Force and Sigil of Accuracy, do not stack. The Sigil page on the official wiki says that > Static bonuses stack with themselves when used on dual-wielded weapons, > except for Superior Sigil of Force (only +5% bonus to damage) and Superior > Sigil of Accuracy (only +5% bonus to crit chance). But, Sigil of the Night is only available in PvE and was introduced after launch (in the 2012 Halloween event), which leads me to believe that it simply wasn't tested when the above statement was made.

title: buy multiple copies of a game on one steam account?

text: I do a lot of LAN gaming with my friends. Generally games allow you to play LAN without online authentication (ie, Unreal) so I can use the same copy on all of my computers (this isn't really piracy since they are all my computers). However, this has the drawback that if I start a server, people on the internet can't connect. To be able to connect to it, I would have to set up an online (not just a LAN) server. This requires a full copy of the game on each computer. Does steam allow me to buy slots for each game? Like I buy one copy of Battlefield 3, then pay for additional licenses to play off the same account at the same time, but on a different computer? I don't want to maintain 5 different accounts for 5 different computers.

After a lot of trial and error, I was able to post it however the only change I made was to change the word `god` to `kami`. Looking over the Miiverse Code of Conduct, I can't see in there about inappropriate words or phrases and just the word God seems weird to me. I am wondering if there is a place which details what is inappropriate in Miiverse so I don't have to spend almost an hour trying to work out the one innocent word which is preventing me from posting.

title: How can I find my allegedly stabeled horse?

text: I'm playing Oblivion on the Xbox 360 (so no console). There is a common problem when it comes to locating your horse after wandering around yourself, which is usually solved by fast-travelling to any city, or the city where you bought it. [1] [2] [3] I left my horse outside the Imperial City (not in Chestnut Handy Stables) and when I came out it wasn't there, nor in the stables, despite a message saying that it had been stabled. I still have 1 horse in my horses owned count, so it hasn't died. Since then I have fast-traveled to several cities, including Anvil where I originally bought it, and I always get a message saying that it has been stabeled, but when I go to the stables, it isn't there. I have also checked other city entrances, because apparently it doesn't neccessarily appear in the stable if there is another entrance closer to where you came from. Still no horse despite the stabling message. How can I find it?

title: What exactly constitutes a "flawless victory/defeat" in TF2?

text: I'm just curious as to what these messages "actually" mean. In one case, we played a long hard battle of Dustbowl, and eventually the timer ran out. Then, the Administrator said: "Flawless Defeat! You didn't kill anyone!!". I was extremely positive I had at least killed one person. So why did this message show up? What exactly triggers a flawless defeat/victory?


title: How to add friend in 5 in a Row Gomoku - Miniclip

title: Demon Hunter Stat Priority

text: I've just hit level 60 with my Demon Hunter and am preparing him for Inferno. I am wondering what should my stat priority be for my demon hunter? Is attack speed & critical damage still viable after the nerf? Should I be focused on being an offensive demon hunter, or would it be better to get some armor/resistance/vit? Should I be going 2H, or 1H + shield? My question seems to be similar to What should my stat priority be for a demon hunter?, but that question does not address the idea of if survivability is important or not.


title: Transferring my existing draw something game data to a new phone

text: I've been playing draw somwthing for a little while now and have collected coins, colors, etc. but I've just replaced my old Galaxy S for a newer Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and was wondering if I can continue playing on my new phone or if I have to manually transfer my data over. Thanks in advance.

title: Is there any way to see kill/death ratio per weapon, map, or kit?

text: Subject says it all. I really wish I had those more finely grained statistics but since it's not on the battle log site, I'm guessing it's simply not available (unless I've missed it somewhere).


title: How can I avoid the Handyman's ground pound?

text: The Handyman in _Bioshock Infinite_ has a rather annoying attack in which he slams his fists into the ground, causing an electrical shockwave. This attack not only decimates my shield and a good portion of my health, but it also seems entirely unavoidable. I've tried side-stepping, jumping, and putting some distance between us. None of this seems to work. He's even managed to hit me with it while I was _behind him_. **How can I avoid this ground pound attack?**


title: Where can I find TF2 Servers that play Freight or Fastlane?

text: I can't seem to find servers running those maps (except Wonka Gaming, and those are only full of bots all the time). They are two of my favorite maps. When I started playing Team Fortress 2 earlier this year I feel like I saw them a lot more often. Why is that? I filter my searches, but these days nothing shows up when I do so. I used to search for cp_f to see either Fastlane or Freight (this was before Foundry so it was unlikely to get anything else starting with F) and would always get some results, however, for example I just now tried searching for cp_freight and got only one hit and it had only 6 players. I'm not sure why this is the case lately and I suppose I am wondering if their are either any servers people can recommend that still include these maps, or any reason why the maps have gone into disuse.

title: HLDS not visible to the public ip even after DMZ and Port forwarding

text: I want make HLDS on internet. I can say that I've done port forwarding properly because I tried running Deluge (a bittorrent client) same port (27015) and confirmed the open port from canyouseeme.org. Moreover I've turned off firewalls of router as well as of Windows. Even I tried DMZ on router. HLDS works well for local network but not for internet. I'm connected to internet through a ADSL router so I can't plug computer directly to cable. So I request for help.


I noticed there is an area called "Dreams", with a book that lists various dreams my party wants to eventually see come to pass. Problem is, I can't really figure out to achieve them. How do I help my party achieve their dreams?


title: Does Rock Band 3's song rating system change the recommendations?

text: Rock Band 3 added two new features: song ratings and recommendations. The song ratings, as far as I know, just change the likelihood of songs showing up. The recommendations, as far as I know, are the same for every user. I was curious if RB3 uses these for collaborative filtering - in the same way that when you rate movies on Netflix it gives you different movie recommendations. Does anyone know if this is the case?


title: Advantage of fortress becoming capital

text: It's my understanding that when the Monarch arrives, the fortress becomes the civilization's capital. Hence I stop getting dwarven liaisons (which would mean I would stop getting dwarven caravans, that provide me with some necessary resources not available in my embark location). The wiki is also amiss on what happens to said civilization when the fortress eventually crumbles. What I want to know is:   * Does receiving the Monarch or becoming the capital provide any tangible (economical, military, social) advantage?   * What happens after the fortress ends (or when the Monarch dies)? Does the civilization keep going?

title: How to kill Dozers effectively?

text: I often find myself getting killed by Dozers, especially on higher difficulty levels. Even unloading my secondary shotgun in their face at point blank doesn't seem to work very well. Are there specific points on a dozer that are weaker? I have noticed after a few shots their helmet/neckarmour/facemask breaks, do we just need to shoot this until it comes off? How much damage do I need to do to break off these parts? What guns are best for dealing with dozers? I've heard that mines are good for this, but proximity mines sound tricky to use for killing specific enemies.


title: How to make a citizen take a certain job

text: I want to make a certain citizen take the open doctor job at a clinic, in which I fire her at her current job (farmer), but she always goes to being a teamster/farmer. I checked her education and she qualifies (college) but she wont go become a doctor at the clinic. I actually have two clinics (3/4 slots open). Clinic salary is also > than teamster/farmer salary. I wish there is a way to "drag" citizens to open work slots at certain buildings (think: dragging actors in the game The Movies). Or is there a way of doing this and I just havnt encountered it yet? Also, if there are no ways of doing this, does location of current house of the citizen affect her job choice?


title: Is there a mission timer in StarCraft II?

text: I'm working on some of the achievements in the single-player Wings Of Liberty campaign. Several of them are in the form of "Complete the mission in X minutes or less". Is there any in-game way I can see how much time has elapsed since I started the mission, or will I have to keep track of the time on my own somehow?


title: Mario Kart 8 Total Coins Collecting Logic

text: How do the total coins add up? Every time I collect one or only the ones I'm holding at the end of the race? In the latter case, it would always take at least 5 races (5 * 10 = 50) to unlock something since holding coins is limited to 10. I assume it's the first case though since I possibly unlocked a new part after a Grand Prix (= 4 races).


title: How can I order my troops to a specific location?

text: I've been watching a few tactics videos in order to know how to better position my troops, and I've noticed the players usually place a small flag in order to order their troops to a specific location. However, try as I might, I can't seem to be able to do the same. Looking online did not yield good results. How can I order troops to a specific location (without the use of mods)?

title: What are various block heights in Minecraft?

text: I've managed a rough method of rating both horse speed and jump distance, but I still need to rate their jump height and I guess an obstacle course with obstacles of varied height could be helpful. Can someone provide me with list of Minecraft blocks with non-standard heights, including these heights? I know there are blocks both taller than 1m (fence, wall), slightly shorter (soul sand, farmland), half-size (various slabs) and quite thin (pressure plate, carpet, trapdoor) but is there any listing/comparison of these?


title: which pets are Tank pets in Cube World?

text: I was wondering what pets were Tank pets in Cube World. I know turtles are, but I would like to know if there are some more.


title: Can Different Shiny Pokemon of the Same Species be Different Colours?

text: As it says on Bulbapedia "Upon evolution, a Pokémon will retain its Shiny status. A Shiny Charmander, if leveled up, will eventually become a Shiny Charmeleon and then a Shiny Charizard, just as a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard. This is due to the status being determined by values inherent to the Pokémon;" So those are the questions:   1. One kind of Pokemon (Example Charmander) can have 2 colors ? **eg: Charmander is red (normal) and his shiny is yellow can another shiny Charmander be black ?**   2. Can a shiny Charmander (yellow) become a black Charmeleon ? EDIT: As said in bulbapedia... "Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pokémon, such as Glaceon or Pichu, having their Shiny form be only a few shades lighter or darker in color, although a majority of the Pokémon that exhibit this are not in their final form of evolution. However, many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and Shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like Caterpie show a dramatic difference." So my question (as I said) is about this: "many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and Shiny variations". Pokemons **CAN** be shiny even without change they color like Spiky-eared-Pichu. What I have found about this was:   1. The shiny Charmander in Pokemon wiki is Yellow, while the Charizard is Black.   2. In the Anime there is a Yellow Magikarp, and a Red Gyarados, the yellow Magikarp appears only in the anime, and it's not a good base of information for the game, but at least give us some extra reference. So I guess it is YES for question 2. But in question 1 I'am still not sure. **Can i have two shiny Charmanders one yellow and another Black ?**


title: Is there a penalty for switching followers?

text: Mr Bonding is the guy that hands out O-Powers (such as Capture Power, or Attack Power) for you to use on your friends. However I've only found him twice, once in the Gateway to Route 5, and once in Hotel Ambrette (Ambrette Town). So, what other locations does he show up in?


title: Are the classes in TOR *really* mirrored across factions?

text: I know that the intent in The Old Republic was that the factions would be balanced by having the same classes available to each faction, albeit with different names and animations. But after playing the game for a while, I'm not sure I believe this anymore. One example: While it's true that the Republic Commando and the Imperial Bounty Hunter share the same abilities, the bounty hunter uses "Heat", which goes from 0 - 100, and the Commando uses "Ammo", which goes from twelve to zero. Comparing one of their first abilities: Rocket Punch and Stockstrike, the Bounty Hunter's version uses 16 heat, and the Commando's version uses 2 Ammo. Converting Ammo to an equivalent amount of heat 2/12 ~> **17** heat. Am I missing something, or do Bounty Hunters get fractionally better abilities? **Are there other differences between the faction classes** , such as talent trees, or even non-mirrored abilities? Are the classes in TOR _really_ mirrored across factions, or only approximately?


title: What does picking up Winter Gifts in TF2 do?

title: Is there a way to avoid losing my progress when Uplay is down?

text: Last night, I tried to play Heroes VI, only to find that Uplay was down. I was offered an "offline" mode, but upon running the game in "offline" mode, I found that none of my previous saves were available - I'd have to start from the very beginning, the tutorial campaign, all over again. Needless to say, I'd rather _not_ have my save games exist only at the whims of Ubisoft's DRM. Is there any way I can store my save games locally so that they're available in offline mode?


title: Is there a downside to using foreign weapons?

text: Is there a downside to making my dwarves use foreign weapons such as whips or two-handed swords? The wiki page on weapons Doesn't say of any downside, but I've seen advice to forbid them before. Right now I'm using them in traps, but I don't have any iron-bearing minerals as far as I can find, so a few extra iron weapons would be greatly appreciated by my military. I've got some lashers so far, as the comments page indicates that whips are awesome in 2010. Is this a bad idea? What about all the other weapons the humans bring that are dwarf-sized, or at least are not marked as large.


title: How can I improve my social skills?

text: Some of the items in Star Wars: The Old Republic refer to a "Social Rank", and they won't let me use them until I reach Social Rank 1 (or higher). What are social points? How do I earn them? Aside from these Social Badges, are there any other benefits from doing so?

title: How do I maximize speed on a straightaway in Uniracers?

text: The very first level of Uniracers is a complete straightaway. I always wondered what the best technique was to maximize speed. The best I have found is to hold R to Roll, and tap A midway through jumping to Twist. With continuous jumping, I'd get 2 stunts per jump and go fairly fast. Is there a technique to go faster than that?

text: I have a Vizio TV, but I've seen this feature on plenty of other brands as well. Why should I enable Game Mode on my TV when playing console video games? What benefit does it bring to my gaming experience? Should I leave it on all the time, or only when playing games?


title: Do the destroyed vehicles tallied "roll over" to next week's earnings for the scrapyard in GTA 5?

text: I independently confirmed this aswell. I recently bought the scrapyard property and capped out at 5000 from destroying police vehicles; in the SE train tunnel I called the police and continually lured them out only to destroy their vehicles in the tunnel (As bonus the train comes through and does additional damage to vehicles/cops/NOOSE). Once I'm out of ammo I jumped on a train heading north into yet another tunnel, erasing my 5-star wanted level. **TL;DR Do the weekly earnings roll over? I'm pretty sure after ~4 house of the above I destroyed more than 33.3 vehicles....** Also how exactly is a week calculated in GTA V? Is there a way to speed it up? I think sleeping will fast forward you 8 hours but is there any other method?


title: General SCII tips for a beginner?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Getting started with StarCraft II I'm just getting into StarCraft 2 and I'm finding it really difficult to stay organized and on top of things. Does anyone have some basic advice for the complete beginner? Maybe a good build to start me off? I play Terran for the moment, as I'm still on the started edition. As of now, I'm trying to follow Day[9]'s "Mental Checklist", which is essentially:   * Keep Minerals Low   * Watch Food Cap   * Train SCVs   * Train Units   * Build Buildings   * Repeat... And my basic build order is something along the lines of:   * Supply   * Rax   * Gas   * Marine   * Orbital  So far, I've played two games against an Easy AI (TvT and TvP) on Normal speed, and won both, as well as a game against a more experienced friend of mine (TvZ), in which I did really well in the beginning, but due to the fact that I didn't realize he could stealth his units, I got squashed.


title: TvT: How to handle 'quick tanks' if you started with reactored helions

text: I started with reactored hellions, and when I came to my opponent's front, I detected some tanks and marines. In my game I built 2 more hellions and a medivac, and when I did a drop my opponent brought 4 tanks + 4 vikings to my base. In this game I was lucky: he was not pushing too hard, and I was able to start killing SCVs with hellions and in parallel to build some vikings/marines/tanks...and eventually I won. But if my opponent was just a little bit more aggressive, he would have destroyed my base... Question: what should my reaction be to detected tanks if I am building hellions? Should I build my own tanks? Build vikings? Build marauders? Please advise.


title: What does the term "aggro deck" mean?

text: I think I understand what aggro means in the context of an MMO and explicitly in World of Warcraft. Arqade even has a good answer to What does "Aggro" mean? What I am not understanding from the aforementioned links is how the term applies to an aggro deck in Hearthstone. Is an aggro deck:   * a deck which is _aggressive_ towards attacking the opposing hero?   * a deck that _aggravates_ the opposing hero by forcing them to attack minions instead of your hero? I am probably reading too much into the use of the term, but each time I see aggro deck I am not sure what is being described.

title: When is it a good idea to use Type Gems on Pokémon?

text: So these Gem items, they give a one-time 50% boost to a specific type of attack. After that... well, it's gone forever. It's like your attack is nerfed, just like those moves that lower your stat after use (Leaf Storm, etc.), except these moves can have their effect removed just by switching out. So far I have only seen two uses that I consider "good": Acrobatics/Flying Gem, and Explosion/Normal Gem. What other good uses are there for these Gems? Surely there are better items, such as Expert Belt that gives a 20% boost to supereffective moves.


title: What is the difference between a Tank and a Wall?

text: According to smogon: > Tank > > A Pokemon intended to take either physical or special attacks and hit back, > but does not have to do so consistently over the entire course of a match. > > Bronzong is a very potent tank. With Gyro Ball, Explosion, and massive > defenses, it can hit enemies hard and take many hits effectively over the > course of a match > Wall > > A Pokemon intended to take either physical or special attacks extremely > effectively and consistently over the course of a battle. > > Skarmory's enormous physical Defense makes it one of the most sturdy > physical wall in the game. It also has access to Spikes, Roost, and > Whirlwind, three moves that Skarmory has many opportunities to use. It would seem that these two differ in that a Tank can dish out a hit, where as a Wall plays as more of a spiker, only, that really describes a spiker, so I'm a little confused as to where a Wall sits in the metagame

title: Why am I trying to kill people with a defibrilator?

text: From time to time, especially when a teammate dies in my immediate proximity, my soldier decides to equip his defibrilator without my say-so. Often, this results in death, as the offender - the one who killed my mate - is still around and shooting at me, while I'm trying to "shoot" him with a defibrilator in hand. What kind of feature is this, and how do I turn it off?   Obviously, I can't revive a friend when I'm dying, and he wouldn't want to be revived just to die again either.

Can anyone support his answer with statistics? **Edit** - I'm not looking into "which race is best", because I believe they are rather balanced. But balanced just means they have similar win ratio against **random**. The statistics that was linked to in one of the answers is not what I'm looking for - I'd rather know how much does Zerg beats Protoss, not how much Zerg wins overall.

title: Are there servers that have a level limit for players?

text: I've been looking for noob-friendly servers (since I haven't played a shooter since Q3A) and now and then I find a server that has a description hinting at noob-friendly gameplay but once in it's stuffed with lvl40+ players owning the place. Why is it that I can't seem to search for a server with a level cap or am I supposed to believe that the matchmaking system actually works because that also drops me in similar servers. Having no botmatches whatsoever also doesn't make it easier for new players to get to know the game mechanics without getting killed every 20 seconds. So, is it somehow possible to search for a server that has a level cap or how would I go about getting to know the game mechanics without getting uber frustrated by high level players sucking the fun out of the game for me?

Would it be possible to buy a foreign Pokewalker and connect it to a Swedish localization of HG/SS? I remember buying an American copy of SSBB when it just came out, but it didn't work on our Swedish Wii, so I'm worried the same problem would arise with this...

title: Is the double ship beneficial in Galaga?

text: Is it worth getting your ship captured (and subsequently released) so you can get double firepower?. I know it helps kill enemies faster but it also doubles your target area - and some of the stages are bullet hell. Plus if your ship is captured, there is no guarantee you will get it back - since it could be destroyed by friendly fire. It also consumes 1 ship. Yet I've heard some people swear by getting the double ship. Is it really that much more beneficial? If so why?

title: What is the proper use of bright light?

text: I know there is a 'proper' use of the light, since I got an infraction/violation about improper use of headlight. But that time though, there are street lights on, and the road is sure bright so I just turned it off, then I got that violation. I'm just curious if turning the main headlight and the bright one has any meaning, like turn signals because I'm just using them in very dark roads, also when it's raining.

text: I don't usually have speakers or a headset hooked up into my computer, so I can't hear any of the audio in Limbo. Is the sound an important part of the game from a gameplay perspective? Is it essential to be able to hear it in order to win the game, or is its only purpose to provide atmosphere to the game?


title: Achievements not copied with world save directory

text: I currently have a world that I've been playing on the 1.8 snapshots on my PC (currently 14W30C), and I wanted to play this world on my laptop, so I copied the 'World' directory from the `%appdata%\\.minecraft\saves` directory to my laptop. The world copied over just fine and everything was as expected with the exception of one thing. All of my achievements were lost. I thought achievements were supposed to be per world since 1.7 and as such assumed they'd be stored within the world save folder, but it seems like this isn't the case. What do I need to do to transport the achievements between different computers with the world save? Supporting Info: I have the same snapshot on both systems, using the same Minecraft logon, both computers running Windows 8.1 x64

title: Can you pick-pocket someone who has already caught you?

text: So I was simply taking some weight off an NPC when he caught me... helping lighten his load. The problem is, he still has some stuff that I am sure he would rather have me hold on to but he has "already caught me" and won't let me hold onto any more of his stuff. Is there a time after someone has caught you pick-pocketing where the option to pick-pocket them becomes available or will you never be able to steal from that individual again?


title: How can I get a save file from a PSOne game (played at PS3), into my PS Vita?

text: I played a lot of PSOne games in my PS3, and have in mind to get a PS Vita to play them again, so I want to know if I can reuse my FF VIII save data, or I have to play the game again, for example. Thanks! * * * **[EDIT]** Worked just like @Bryan C said, but you need to have the game previously installed (as it creates the respective save file into PS Vita's memcard), because you have to choose a save file when you are getting the data from PS3.


title: Influence of employee stats on game quality

text: Each employee has three stats   * Program   * Scenario   * Graphics   * Sound a current job (with level 1-5) and any number of previous jobs in the work history. How do these stats influence the quality of the game and the employee effectiveness when they're writing the proposal, designing the graphics or composing the sound? Is only the current job title important, or does also the work history play a role? What are the advantages of producers and directors?


title: How different is Demo world from a regular world?

text: I downloaded the minecraft demo and started working, after the free 100 minutes, I bought the game and keep on playing that demo world. Now, after 10h I've found that Demo world is always the same but I don't know how different it is from a regular "new game in singleplayer" world. Should I start a new game using a random generated world or am I going to find the same elements than in the demo world?. I recently found redstone and some diamonds, have sheep and some crops... so if I start a new game it's going to be a pain, but it'll be worse if I wait another 10h more... Thanks!

title: Uru Graphics issues with Windows 7 - Strange brightness mostly on plants

text: The other day I decided I want to play Uru again, as I had just upgraded my sound system (to 7.1 surround) and had yet to play it on my new computer. My computer is a Windows 7 64 bit HP Pavilion g6 laptop with 4gb RAM, 2.1ghz duel core with a Radeon HD 6470m - More than enough to play Uru with. I started the game and made my character, all was well. However when I hit "Play" and the intro vid started I got this: ![Uru Intro Vid issues](http://i.stack.imgur.com/UyQj8.png) I said to myself "what the heck" and moved on, a bit annoyed that I didn’t get to see the vid, but I had seen it before so I could live with it. However I found that the issue persists in the game, creating strange artefacts (hope that’s the correct use of the term) with the plant life, and other issues, namely with the ground. The common thing out of all this I can see is the colour. It all seems to a bright white / light blue colour to it in most cases. I looked around on the internet, but could finding nothing to help me, mainly things about running Uru on Windows 7. Does anyone know anything I could do to fix this? The game ran fine on my old XP computer, but sadly that computer's graphics were rubbish, and the whole computers a bit old. I really want to replay this great game - Any help would be gladly welcomed and appreciated - Thanks (These are the settings I'm running Uru on) ![Uru Settings](http://i.stack.imgur.com/d2rRg.png) ![Uru 1](http://i.stack.imgur.com/N7SkN.png) ![Uru 2](http://i.stack.imgur.com/oWcXh.png)


title: Are there *really* no torches in all of Whiterun?

text: I am just flabbergasted about the fact that I can't for the life of me find a single torch in all of Whiterun. I've been around the town twice now looking for a torch for sale or on five-finger discount, and it seems they are in short supply or something. Normally this would not be an issue... I'd just use good ol' console magic to conjure up one... but my brother bought Skyrim for xbox and... well, achievements and all... anyway, console is not an option. Am I just really unlucky or is there really no place to find torches in Whiterun?


title: Can't play Civilization 5 with friends

text: This is **extremely frustrating** , and has been an issue for the past month. I cannot play Civilization V over the internet with any of my friends. Whenever I try to play a game with my girlfriend, it says that she disconnected whenever she tries to respond to me in chat (in the setup area before the game is started). According to her, on her side it says that I disconnected at that same moment. At this point, we try re-inviting each other to that same game (via steam). The person who was invited gets a message saying (error joining multiplayer). This happens no matter who is hosting the game. I was successfully able to play several games in the public lobby with no problems at all. So, we tried both joining a public multiplayer game that someone else was hosting in the lobby. We were successfully able to join the game in the lobby, but just like before, everyone in the game disconnected one by one--as if us trying to play together was some kind of infectious plague. Afterwards my girlfriend gave up, and I just ended up going forward with that game without her. It worked just fine at that point--I was able to enter the game with them. At this point, it seems like there may be something wrong on my girlfriend's side. We tried putting down her firewall, turning off her VPN, and shutting down her Minecraft server, but nothing helped. We have tried this at least 100 times, allocating about 30 minutes of monotonously and painstakingly trying over and over again before we give up. Finally, today we tried playing a three player game with a third friend of mine. The exact same thing happened. No matter which one of us hosted the game, we all get disconnected after about 30 seconds of accepting the invitation. Still suspecting that it might be a problem with my girlfriend's computer, me and my friend tried doing just a two player game without my girlfriend. We got the **exact same thing** : we both disconnect after about 30 seconds in the setup room. So that seems to rule out that it was something wrong on my girlfriend's side. So they both tried to play a two player game without me, and still got the same thing. So that rules out that there was something wrong on my side. Can anyone shed some light on why I can't play any multiplayer games, **unless it's with complete strangers**?

title: How does King of Dragon Pass for Windows handle saved games? How can I move them between PC's?

text: I'm a big fan of King of Dragon Pass, but I've pretty much only played the iOS version. Now that the game is on GOG, the itch has come upon me to rope a few friends into a good old fashioned Succession Game. However, before I drop the 30 bones on 5 copies of the game for me and said friends, I'd like to know just how easy or difficult it is to move save files around, since this varies wildly from game to game. Is it as simple as just attaching a small file to an email, and then dropping it in an appropriate directory? Or is it a complicated mess? Given KODP's history of distribution on the PC, I find myself worrying it might be the latter.


title: How do the laser pods (mines) work?

text: I'm not sure to understand how the laser pods work, especially their culture/farming system. It looks like you can only have one laser pod per defense tree you own at a time: once the laser pod has been produced, the defense tree it came from won't be able to grow a new seed into a new laser pod until the first one you produced get destroyed. Also: how are the final laser pod's specs (energy/fight/speed) determined? Is it some sort of average between 1/ the asteroid where the seed comes from and 2/ the asteroid where the defense tree host is situated?

title: How do I "Mod-Out" Aquifers in an Already Generated World?

text: On the Dwarf Fortress Wiki page for Aquifers says to do the following to remove aquifers: "Find the files in Dwarf Fortress/raw/objects (new world) or Dwarf Fortress/data/save/regionNN/raw/objects (already saved world). Open the three files with a text editor (e.g. Notepad). (inorganic_stone_layer.txt, inorganic_stone_mineral.txt, and inorganic_stone_soil.txt) Use Edit->Replace, and replace [AQUIFER] with (AQUIFER). (Use 'Replace All'). To restore the tags later, do the same in reverse. (Replacing (AQUIFER) with [AQUIFER])." I did all of this for both the new world and already saved world methods, and checked to make sure that [AQUIFER] no longer exists in any of these files, and the aquifer is still there. Does anyone know if this is the right way to remove aquifers by modding?


title: What restrictions are there on Teleport/Leap/movement abilities?

text: The Wizard's Teleport and the Barbarian's Leap both allow them to move to a new location. In using Teleport, I've noticed there are some times when I can teleport to a location my mouse is on, and there are some times I cannot. I suspect Leap is similar. How can I tell what I can teleport to - that is, how do I know if my teleport will be successful or if I will teleport to my current location? How are movement abilities restricted?


title: When do I start finding gems?

title: Are there items that when sold to merchants, will stay in their inventory forever (aside from Dragon Claws)?

text: This answer in the question, "Can you rebuy things from fences if they don't sell that item in skyrim?" states that: > Unique items (e.g. Dragon Claws) remain in the inventory of the storekeepers > indefinitely. However items such as armour, whilst they will remain for a > day or so, are liable to be lost permanently when the storekeeper's > merchandise chest resets. **Aside from Dragon Claws, are there other "unique" items which will stay in a merchant's inventory forever? What determines if an item is considered "unique"?** I would like to know as I regularly sell items I don't need to merchants, so they can be "deleted" in the game when the merchants have their inventory reset. I am not sure which items will indeed be removed with a merchant inventory reset.

Is there any way to reliably predict whether the dungeon or chest/monster has spawned from other nearby features? (Is the Liquid Rainbow always in the front of the cave?

title: How do I counter the engineers in the engineer mission in the Cybran campaign

text: In the Cybran campaign of Supreme Commander 2, there's a mission with hostile engineers. (I don't think it's a spoiler, since it's obvious up-front what's going to happen, but to be on the safe side I won't say which mission.) I've noticed that the unit AI makes it hard to deal with them: the engis' capture beam outranges the tanks even with the range upgrade, and the tanks won't close to retaliate. Missile tanks and arty are pretty useless until the engis are stationary. Aircraft would be useful, but there are too many AA towers to consider using them at the start. Your own engis won't try to capture or reclaim the enemy ones without specific orders. It deeply irritates me that this situation is only hard to deal with because of shortcomings in the unit AI. Is there a better way to start the mission than pretending you're playing StarCraft and ordering your tanks to attack each engi as it arrives?


I've got some "friends" on my Xbox Live friends list who aren't really that - they're people I rarely play with and who are more "friends of friends." Unfortunately, the friends list pings me every time they're online or doing something (ie, they start playing the game I'm playing) which is kind of inconvenient. I'm considering removing them, but I don't want to "cause a scene" and offend them (or my other friends) by removing them. What happens when I remove an Xbox Live friend? Do they get a notification? Does anything change from their perspective?

title: Can I control the 'reinforcements needed' list? How else can I get reinforcements where I need them?

text: I was leading Charlie squad. We just took Dahaka Amp station.The rest of the platoon was defending Mao Tech Plant, or otherwise fighting enemy factions around that area. 2 enemy platoons arrived at Dahaka, in a couple of galaxies and a few sunderers, plus tanks and MAXes. We had no time to repair all the turrets, nor did we have enough manpower to defend the generators. After a hard fight, we eventually lost. Delta squad wanted to come, but they were already tied up. No chance of Alpha coming and Bravo was just 3 guys. By the time Delta they finished their fight and got in a galaxy, we were already beyond repair at Dahaka. If I could control the 'reinforcements needed' screen, many more free members of the faction, along with many Delta squad, could have simply spawned in the main spawn room. Our squad was good, we just needed more cannon fodder and distractions. So, is there a way to control the 3 spawn areas appearing in the 'reinforcements list' for the faction, when deploying? If this is not possible, what other ways did I miss in trying to get Delta to the party?

text: The Blood-Magic Blade is a craftable level 60 legendary dagger. After the revamp of 1.0.4 legendaries, a new effect, described as "blood oozes from you" was added to the item description. Given that the dagger looks like it still has incredibly low damage for a level 60 legendary, the only possible saving grace I could think of for this item is the effect. However, I can't find any details of what it actually does. What does "blood ooz[ing] from you" actually do?

I take offense to this perfect defense! **How can I perform my _weapon taunt_ even if there is a partner taunt I could join?**


title: When is it a good time to reincarnate?

text: I love Disgaea, though admittedly I've never made it through an entire game in the series... I hope to get back to Disgaea 3 at some point in the future and would like to do so while avoiding an issue I have always had in these games - I don't know when I should reincarnate my characters. While I know that reincarnating your characters is paramount in making them stronger, I am pretty sure I'm doing it wrong and ending up quite weaker until I level my characters up again. By the time I reach the level I was originally at, I don't feel all that tougher. Since the reincarnation system in Disgaea 3 is slightly different from previous installments, I'm looking for information regarding Disgaea 3's system. Specifically:   * When should I reincarnate story characters, such as Mao or Almaz?   * When should I reincarnate monsters/human class characters?   * Should I bother reincarnating human classes into stronger versions of themselves instead of into new and exciting classes I manage to unlock? For example, should I bother turning my fighter into a warrior, when I can turn him into, say, a ninja? I hope I am not being too vague, but I'm assuming some Disgaea 3 familiarity here as I am looking for more than a link to a guide. I am looking for personal insights and a good summary of the different considerations.

It seems to be very useful for thinning the hoards in Onslaught but there always seem to be some stragglers. Because of this I can't really see it as useful to those on point (nor rearguard) as the autogun (or minigun) have a considerably more thorough covering arc.

title: What factors decide which team wins when the clock runs out in Capture the Flag/Control Points?

text: I was in the map Doublecross and we just barely managed to tie the score at 2 as the clock ran out, but we still got the Humiliation mode, instead of both teams getting it. Also I think Control Points decides its winner at a clock-out by which team has fewer points controlled. Which I think I can understand because it rewards the defenders for holding off the other team successfully. I don't know if this is really the case though.


title: Skyrim: Place lights in a House

text: I have bought Hjerim but it is a bit too dark at many locations. Is there anyway to places some light sources (candles/torches/lanterns etc) permanently in the house? Torches turn off if dropped (it would have been better if I could fix them on walls) and pickable Lanterns don't have candles inside. I don't mind using console to place light sources. **EDIT:** I have bought all house upgrades, but light is still low. **EDIT:**   _All I am interested is adding lights to existing original house. Putting torches in baskets or vases will work but it will be look more beautiful if you know a way to duplicate those candle stands, or the single candles (which are there on tables) or even lit lanterns._ **UPDATE:** `placeatme 5d6e4` palces the burning Dwemer wall candle. It has less light but works. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/z8vLA.png)


title: Minecraft slow to load terrain

text: I have a minecraft server hired from Multiplay and when I play on it, I always get issues where the terrain loads very very slowly. As I start to run from the area I start in, it can take me being 10-15 blocks away until new terrain is redrawn. Might be a separate issue, but I often see dungeons and underground locations before the ground is properly rendered. What can I do to fix this? Rendering distance on the client is set to max, computer is very good. I played Crysis 3 on max settings, so it should handle MC I think :) So naturally I'm assuming this is an server issue, but there is nothing to indicate an issue. CPU load has had a max at 33%, Memory usage at max 340 Mb (of 1 GB), most of the times no players. No mods activated at all. Server has bukkit, but I'm currently not using it. Had this issue before aswell. Are there some settings I can set, either on client or server.


title: Does it matter who I send to repair the tower on Palaven's moon?

text: I'm doing the mission where you're sent to Palaven's moon to rescue the Turian primarch, you need to repair a communications tower. I have the option to either send James or Liara. Does the progress or outcome of the mission change at all depending on who I choose? Am I at risk of losing anyone? I know this seems kind of weird to ask so early in the game, but after having so recently finished ME2 and having to choose people for the Suicide Mission (and this is _war_ , y'know), I'm a little paranoid.
