title: How do I enable NTSC filters / shaders + scanlines in higan?

text: I've tried both the ZSNES and the Snes9x SNES emulators to play SNES ROMs, and I've always preferred enabling their built-in NTSC filter (RGB) and scanlines. I'm looking to do the same for the higan emulator. So I searched and found these shaders (quark-shaders). While some of its shaders work fine in higan, selecting 'NTSC' gives me a black screen, with the sound still playing, on both windowed and full-screen modes. I'm using higan v094, 64-bit, higan-performance.exe on Windows 7, 64-bit. My GPU is an AMD HD 6750 and my LCD monitor's native resolution is 1366 x 768. Here's my higan _settings.bml_ configuration file contents:               Video       Driver: OpenGL       Synchronize: false       Shader: C:/Games/Emulators/Multi-platform/higan/Video Shaders/NTSC.shader/       ScaleMode: 1       AspectCorrection: true       ColorEmulation: true       MaskOverscan: false         Horizontal: 8         Vertical: 8       Saturation: 100       Gamma: 100       Luminance: 100       StartFullScreen: false          Audio       Driver: XAudio2       Synchronize: true       Frequency: 44100       Latency: 20       Resampler: 2       Volume: 100       Mute: false          Input       Driver: Windows       Focus         Pause: true         AllowInput: false          Timing       Video: 60.0       Audio: 44100.0          Server       Hostname:        Username:        Password:           Library       Selection: 1       MediaMode: 0       ShowOnStartup: true


title: How do I kill Giant Slimes?

text: So I was playing with some friends on my minecraft server and an idiot decided to spawn this: ![Giant Slime](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KnzTc.jpg) Now the server is lagging like hell and it's impossible to play. I am not able to kill it with a sword either. So please, how do I kill this?


title: Steam won't allow Black Ops 2 to be downloaded/installed to a separate drive

text: I just bought Black Ops II on Steam, but I'm having trouble at this point. I saw a similar post on this website about Modern Warfare 3 (I'm unable to specify which Steam library I want to install MW3 to) where the option to install to a separate drive ceased to appear, but the selected answer (creating a symbolic link to the preferred drive) didn't work for me. I did attempt to change the command to fit my situation (C: being my SSD, D: being my HDD): mklink /D "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\Call of Duty Black Ops II\" "D:\SteamLibrary\Call of Duty Black Ops II\" And I then tried installing Black Ops II from Steam, but it still recognized that there wasn't enough space on my SSD and wouldn't install it. I'm quite at a loss about what to do now. Keep in mind that my HDD is already completely set up as a separate drive, and many of my Steam games are already installed to it.


title: How would a gold farming company get my account and password?

text: A couple of years ago, I got bored of wandering around aimlessly in WoW and cancelled my account. This morning, I got an e-mail saying my account had be been banned. Reason given: > Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy This was a surprise to me; especially when I discovered it was a legitimate email from Blizzard. I logged in to Battlenet (I haven't purchased Cataclysm) and it turns out that my account was active (e.g. trial) and also that it was indeed banned. Because of the reason I was banned, I have to assume it was one of those gold spammers that got into my account. I've got my account status resolved and my characters restored. But I have a couple of questions for the aftermath:   1. I guard all of my account information very closely (even my less-important MMORPG info) and I don't fall for phishing e-mails. What is the most popular way these "companies" get my login info?    2. Hacking into someone else's e-mail is a crime. Is hacking into someone's battlenet account a crime as well? If Blizzard coughed up the name of the company who stole my info, could I, in theory, go after them legally? I know question two is farfetched...but I'm just curious. After being on the net for over 18 years, I'm thankful that the first time I got hacked was over something innocuous, but it still stings. * * * _**UPDATE_** I updated my support ticket asking for more information and this is the reply I received: > Greetings! > > Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding your account. > > After reading your petition and taking a further look at your account, it > appears that the compromise issue first started on 9/10/2011. Someone > unauthorized to access your account logged in and damaged it. Unfortunately, > we are unable to provide any specific information relating to the party > responsible for the compromise issue. While it may not be possible to know > exactly how the compromise happened, I would however highly recommend using > the information on our Account Security Checklist found here > http://us.battle.net/security/checklist.html to address every possible > source of entry in the future. Other than their Authenticator, that security checklist covers the basic stuff you'd see from any company explaining basic internet security. (something I'm very familiar with). IMHO, it is possible to discover how the compromise happened, but I doubt Blizzard wants to join me on my personal crusade :P I would like to believe that somehow their databases got hacked and/or some rogue employee at Blizzard sold e-mail addresses for cancelled accounts to a gold farm. But who knows?!? Regardless, I'm updating my passwords just to make sure accounts with more sensitive information are not compromised.


title: How to move my base in Minecraft

text: I live in a crappy area with no cows, sheep, villages, or anything else particularly useful. Problem is, I've been based there for a while. I have two houses (one with a mine shaft underneath it) and have chests filled with precious items. In addition, I have no idea where I'm planning on going. What's the best way for me to pack up and leave?


title: Does the underground ruin have any shortcuts?

text: Since the Caedeus quest is a repel quest his health is retained between quests. When I start a quest with him already wounded he starts in Area 3, forcing me to swim all the way there. It's both annoying and time consuming (~4 minutes). Are there any shortcuts in the ruins I can take to reduce the swim time?


title: Why won't zombie villager kid take the golden apple?

text: I succesfully transformed a zombie villager kid into normal kid. However, sunce my first success, any further attempts fail. What I do: with an armor on (or with care) I make a zombie kid follow me to a safe place, where I splash it with potion. When I (try to) give it an apple. If I succeded, color of bubbles aroud zombie changed. But with the last 3 zombies I've found, I have that problem that clicking them with a golden apple has totally no effect - the eating animation attempts to start instead. ## About baby zombies If you didn't read wiki, here are some important facts:   * Zombie kid can spawn anywhere in the overworld given sufficient light conditions   * Zombie kid can also spawn from dead baby villager   * They can be cured the same way adult zombie villagers are being cured   * They can climb ladders, but they didn't seem to be able to climb vines ## Notes:   1. ~~There is no ( **NO!** ) difference between zombie kid that has naturally spawned and zombie kid that has risen from dead villager kid.~~ Read the wiki! (yeah, read it anyway)   2. Abovementioned behavior may be a result of a **bug**. However, I'm still curious if someone else had the same problem.


title: Is there any difference between weapons in Cursed Crusade?

text: I've been watching LoadingReadyRun's playthrough of Cursed Crusade, and they can't tell any difference between the weapons they are constantly picking up, for example a 'Balanced Mace' vs a 'Barbarian Mace' or a 'Long Gladius' vs a 'Ceremonial Sword'. I've tried the usual google search terms, but can't seem to find a list of weapons. Are they all just renames of the same stats, or is there actually a difference in terms of effectiveness?

title: What stats do you need to succeed as a Barbarian in Inferno past Act 1?

text: I have just entered Act 2 Inferno, and I'm having a lot of trouble progressing. Everything I do ends up with me dying, and leads me to believe I may be under-geared. What stats should I be focusing on, and how much of each do I need? I'm looking specifically in regards to soloing, but if there are differences when teaming, please note that as well. Also, if later acts are different and should be focusing on different stats, or require more of the same stats, please specify the differences and how much is needed for those, too.


title: Do attack speed/movement debuff items draw turret aggro when their passive is triggered by an enemy champion?

text: So I know the question is a bit subjective however it makes sense soon. So here is a small example: So we're about to close the game and I am taking down the enemy top lane's turret, while my team takes down mid. The enemy Pantheon shows up and I ignore him to focus the turret. I do not have any aura items, only my **Warden's mail**. There were other minions ahead of me all attacking the turret at this time as well. Pantheon uses his `Q` `W` `E` combo and it does no damage so I keep ignoring him. Now **suddenly the turret starts attacking me** , so I kill him then back off. Now I was not really paying attention to him because of how little damage he was doing, so I am not sure if he used a basic attack, which would have slowed his attack speed due to Warden's Mail. * * * My question is do debuffing items like **Warden's Mail** and **Randuin's Omen** that are triggered by the enemy cause towers to aggro you when their passive effect is activated? * * * After reviewing the replay I noticed that pantheon's e Had cleared the melee minions.


title: How do I earn credits to teach Chop new tricks?

text: In _iFruit's Chop the Dog_ , the Grand Theft Auto V companion application, what are the different ways to quickly earn credits to teach Chop new tricks? Playing the various mini-games doesn't appear to be awarding any credits, and right now, waiting only seems to earn credits very slowly. Since you have to also spend credits to keep Chop happy and fed, I assume I must be missing some way to earn credits in large amounts.


title: Skyrim Taste of Death Quest bug - Eola keeps attacking me!

text: So, I've been replaying Skyrim and got up to the Taste of Death (the cannibal one) and have come across a strange bug. First time I played through, I cleared the cave without Eola but when it went to the next objective to speak to her, she kept atacking me! I managed to calm her with spells and got the next objected the kill the priest in Markarth, however, his body had already moved to the cave without me talking to him. Once again, when inside the cave, Eola attacked me and I couldn't search or feed from the priest's body. Anyone know a fix to this problem?

title: How long do I have to play Grand Theft Auto V to unlock all of San Andreas?

text: I just got an e-mail saying that my GTAV has arrived at my house (I'm in New Zealand, so it's Tuesday morning). So in anticipation of happily wasting hundreds of hours of my life I'm going to pre-emptively ask this question. Every other GTA game has locked out sections of the game map until you advance to a certain part of the story. There are also generally tutorial style missions that need to be completed. I just want to be able to get out and explore all of San Andreas (preferably by dirt bike and mountain bike) so can someone who's faster than me let me know how much gameplay is required to gain access to the entire game map?


title: How to beat Aquaria's race?

text: The full title should have been, "How to complete Aquaria's circuit in less than 30 seconds", but that would have been unnecessarily spoilery. I've found the race circuit in Aquaria. I got:   1. 2:07 in beast form (1st attempt, with some time lost understanding what was going on)   2. 1:56 in fish form (2nd attempt, with some time lost bumping into things)   3. 2:34 with seahorses (3rd try, with a lot of time lost starting to ride a seahorse to begin with, then getting through the statues right before the end)   4. 1:41 in fish form (4th try, now without bumping into almost anything) It seems to be pointless fun, but a rock near the start of the circuit reads, "1:30" -- so maybe there _is_ a point after all. Since you must run three laps, that means you must complete each lap in 30 seconds. How do you beat that time? (Please note, I'm not asking what the reward would be.) I have access to the song, energy, beast, nature, sun and fish forms. Li is by my side.


title: Reset your weapons for a specific new play

text: I already played this game, and now I have all the weapons and a lot of heads. Sometimes I want to play the history again with a new friend, but I want to keep the fun and mechanics of the first time, so having to play the levels one by one to unlock the next one and having to unlock weapons progressively. On the other hand, I don't want to lose all my progress. Is that possible?


title: How to make villagers spread around

Currently, I have a small temporary village set up, where I have 4 houses and about 10 villagers. All the 10 villagers always cramp around in 1 single house. How can I make it so they use up more houses? Is this intentional or a bug/glitch?


title: How long does it take for the Curiosity cube to get updated? Is there more than one cube?

text: In the new Android/iOS app/game/experiment called Curiosity, how long does it take for the cube to update? I did a ton of work in one section of the cube and I carved in my initials. Then I got on my wife's Android device, to see if I could see my work on another device. I couldn't find my stuff. In fact, it looks like an entirely different cube --- there was absolutely nothing in any area that looked remotely like what it looked like on my device. So I thought maybe it would take a while for my work to get updated. So we waited an entire day, and revisited the cube on both devices. Once again nothing looked similar at all. We zoomed into the exact same location, and waited for a few minutes in case it needed to catch up or something. Indeed, after a few minutes the cube DID refresh (bonus question: how long does the in-game refresh take to happen after you start the app?), but it was entirely different for both devices. I already considered and checked to make sure that we were really looking at the same side of the cube, in the same location. We checked several times over the course of a couple of days, and the only conclusions I can come to are that either, A) the game is lying, and just randomly making it appear that the cube is being chipped away at by other people, or B) there is more than one cube. What's the deal? I'm already aware that they have been having issues (coins being lost, etc.), but I have not seen anything regarding what I'm talking about.


title: Minimize Portal 2 diskusage

text: Portal 2 uses 12 GB on my disk if I install it via Steam. I only have a 60GB SSD in my laptop. If I only want to play Multiplayer, which files can I safely delete, so the game will still run? the .vpk files are the largest part of the game, and I tested to move some files and found out, that the game starts, if I remove these files in `\SteamApps\common\Portal 2\portal2\`: `pak01_009.vpk pak01_013.vpk pak01_014.vpk, pak01_015.vpk, pak01_017.vpk, pak01_018.vpk, pak01_019.vpk, pak01_020.vpk and pak01_022.vpk` (That frees up already 2GB) Which other files are not needed to play Multiplayer?


title: Bioshock crashes on start up or fails to play in-game sound

text: _Disclaimer: There is arelated question, describing missing in-game sound. This is about the game crashing on start up and starting only with the `-nosound` flag (obviously deactivating sound output)._ When Bioshock is started on Windows 7 (Steam version), it shows a splash screen with the Bioshock logo and then crashes. If one passes the `-nosound` flag to the game it manages to start and play music in the menu, but (obviously) does not play _any_ sounds in-game. Various internet-sites propose different tweaks but none work.

title: 100% Bonus to Gold Find

title: Can't get to Three Horns - Divide

text: After working through Best Minion Ever in Ultimate Vault Hunter mode, which turned out to be much more of a beat-down than I was prepared for, I decided to call it quits for the night. Almost immediately after arriving at Three Horns - Divide, I quit the game and turned off the console (in that order; I'm fairly confident I didn't skip quitting, as I almost never turn off the console while a game is running). After re-starting the game though, I found myself in Liar's Berg again. Checking the Fast Travel station, I couldn't find any links to Three Horns. The only links I saw were (in no particular order):   * Southern Shelf   * Claptrap's Place   * Oasis   * Badass Crater of Badassitude   * Unassuming Docks   * Hunter's Grotto   * The Raid on Digistruct Peak So, at this point, I thought maybe my only choice to get to Three Horns was to run through and board Claptrap's ship again. I rushed across the map, only killing enemies when it was _absolutely necessary_ to open a gate or something, and boarded Flynt's ship. Several respawns, and hundreds of thousands of in-game dollars, later Flynt and his posse were dead. Then I went on to find that Claptrap's ship wasn't even there! Beyond that, I ran through all of Claptrap's stops on the map to double check and sure enough couldn't find hide nor hair of him. Sir Hammerlock was still wandering around Liar's Berg but, other than the absence of Claptrap's ship and a location on the Fast Travel system, there were no indicators anywhere that there should be anything preventing me from moving on. I've tried reloading the game, and hopping back to Claptrap's Place, in hopes of refreshing the Fast Travel system but I've had no luck with that either. Is this a known bug in the game? Is there a workaround for this, that doesn't require me luckily finding someone on multiplayer that just happens to be heading in my direction?

title: D&D Mystara Arcade Games - What are they saying?

text: In light of the new re-release of Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara on Steam (and others) by Iron Galaxy, we have to ask ourselves one important question: **What are the characters supposed to be saying in their voice clips**? The voice samples in these games are very low quality and heavily digitized. They are also authentic to their original versions from 1996, and have not been modified in any way for the remake. Some of the quotes are easy to understand, while others not so much. Most of the ones involved in spellcasting are simply the name of the spell being cast, so those do not need to be elaborated on. Here are a list of the voice clips in question, as well as the more obvious ones filled in with the uncertain ones left blank or incomplete. **Tower of Doom** Fighter   * Standing Up: **???** (Sounds like "I need this!", which is nonsensical in context) Cleric   * Standing Up: "I'll fix you!"   * Turning Undead: "Powers Above!" Dwarf   * Standing Up: **???** (Doesn't sound like anything in particular) Elf   * Standing up: **???** (Doesn't sound like anything in particular) **Shadow Over Mystara** Fighter   * Standing Up: **???** (Same as previous game) Cleric   * Standing Up: "I'll fix you!" (Same as previous game)   * Turning Undead, Casting on an Ally: "Immortal's Favor!" Dwarf   * Standing Up: **???** (Same as previous game) Elf   * Standing Up: "I'm not done yet!"   * Casting _Conjure Elemental_ : " **???** : Conjure Elemental!" (Prefaces the spell with some sort of identifier. Sounds like "Full-light effect!", which is nonsensical in context. Notably, the Magic User, who can also cast _Conjure Elemental_ , does not do this.) Thief   * Standing Up: "Is that your best?" Magic User   * Standing Up: "You!!" The answer to this question is to fill in the unknown items. Please note that, although the horrendous quality of the sounds might seem as thought it requires some guess work and speculation to come to an answer, **this is not an opinion-based question**. There is a definitive, correct answer to this question that is supported by fact - the voice actors of the time were given determinable things to say in their script after all - it may simply be difficult or impossible to find out the truth. **Please give guesswork if and only if you are very confident that you are correct**.

When laning, I have objectives like "If I back with 1600 gold I will buy BF Sword" or "I will back when I can buy Vampire Scepter + Boots", But as Jungler I usually back just to recover mana/hp, I find hard back when "gold for Spirit Stone is complete", by example, so I wonder if I'm doing wrong, or else if it's natural as Jungler Player? I have that questions up to level 6. After the level 6, clear the jungle is a breeze. Maybe I need clear the jungle safely and starting to gank only at level 6?

text: I was wondering if this is possible without Steam, like the Elite/HQ function for the PS3 and Xbox. Simply on a website or something. To elaborate my question: I am looking for a website of some sort to track my played matches, k/d, accuracy etc.


title: What are the requirements for getting "Fortune Strike"?

text: After you win a battle in Muramasa: The Demon Blade, you'll get a list of rewards for things you did during the battle, like "Quick Draw Finish" for killing an enemy with a quick draw attack or "Completed Unscathed" for clearing the fight without taking any damage. One that I get every now and then, but cannot figure out what it is, is "Fortune Strike". As far as I can tell, I haven't been able to find any consistent method of earning this one. It's not really worth much, but considering I can at least tell how I received the others, this one is just confounding me all the time. What are the requirements for receiving this bonus, exactly?


title: Where can I find a firing squad (for Time Takes Its Toll and A Forceful Rebuke)?

text: Two Wizard Challenge achievements deal with projectiles: Time Takes Its Toll (slow 20 with one Slow Time) and A Forceful Rebuke (reflect 8 with one Wave of Force). ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rZEdS.jpg) It seems like getting both with the help of the same friendly demons would be pretty easy, but I can't find any that are willing to shoot me that much; gangs are either too small or fire too slowly. Where's a good place to get shot?


title: Demon Hunter build for Inferno

text: Following the way of similar questions for the Monk and the Barbarian, I'd like to ask the same for the Demon Hunter. I know that there's an analogous question, but its focus was Nightmare difficulty and none of the answers addressed Inferno. For a Demon Hunter, high DPS should come natural through a correct itemization. At the moment (I'm still in Nightmare), I'm focusing on damage- increasing skills, since a high-dps grants me an easy dispatch of my enemies, without having to worry of being touched. Is this the main focus even at higher difficulties? Or should I switch to health restoring abilities (as Elemental Arrow with Nether Tentacles, or Marked for Death with Death Toll, or Shadow Power), to balance the higher lethality of the monsters? I'm mainly interested in solo play. Example builds, with explanation of the choices, would be greatly appreciated.


title: When should a zerg NOT be droning?

text: So, I drone a lot... I feel like it's all I ever get told (the idea of, as zerg, "DRONE DRONE, and when you're done droning, DRONE SOME MORE!"). However, with this crazy over emphasized macro-enhancing focus, I feel I can't seem to actually be able to tell when enough is enough, thus being a (usually) direct cause of my demise. And so, I bring to you, on this day, the conundrum of all conundrums: IN THE RACE KNOWN FOR MACRO AND EXPANDING, WHEN DO WE CALL IT GOOD 'NUFF? (When do we stop with droning?... And yes, I'm a bronzie newb; however, I looked at all related questions, and couldn't really address this).


title: How to change players?

text: Are there any difference between both console roms? Is it possible to play 3ds games on nds emulator?


title: How can I disable The Exchange in The Sims 3?

text: I've been playing The Sims 3 on my PS3 (I mention the specific system because the options might be different). Whenever I go into the Build & Buy menu and go into specific categories, the crap that it keeps re-downloading from The Exchange over and over is _really_ slowing down my game and, frankly, it's kind of pissing me off. I've looked through the Options menu and didn't see anything in there to disable it; the only thing that really mentioned The Exchange was a big Redeem Codes button which didn't look useful at all. Is there any way to completely disable The Exchange **within the game** so I don't have to keep turning my Internet connection on and off, or is disabling the Internet the only way to keep it from downloading things constantly?


title: How do I build the trap for defeating the Kayran?

text: Can someone please give me a hint where I have to look next? I have the iron frame and my next goal is to look for the Ostermurk. I know it's location by now. But does this rule out building the trap? I want the achievement for cutting of a tentacle with the trap, so I really need it. Is there some option later to finish it? I am bit confused.


title: How does Nethack make a character for me?

text: I recently dipped my toes in Nethack waters and so far I've been letting Nethack pick the character for me. I keep getting either archeologist or a cavewoman though for about five games now. I'm wondering, is it supposed to be that you get a random character and I've been really (un)lucky to get the same two types for my games?


title: Do Minecraft monsters spawn on stairs?

text: I'm building a house and using stairs for the look of the roof. Will monsters spawn up there at night (assuming I'm sufficiently far away)? Do I have to put torches up there to prevent that?


title: Will monsters spawn on top of trees?

text: I'm covering everywhere near my house with my torches and building walls (using fences or blocks) around them, to make sure no creepers blow me up as I come out, or trample my sugar cane and wood. (I have now completed about 80% — without using any mods, tools, or other cheats.) ![Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6xF1J.png) However, as you can see, the tops of some trees are too dark. So I'm worried about monsters spawning on the top of trees. There's some mention about leaves and mobs in Minecraft Wiki: > ...and they never spawn on Glass, Ice, Stone Slabs, or other see-through or > non-cube blocks. (I'm playing Minecraft in fancy mode.) Even if monsters can't spawn on the leaves, maybe some monster can spawn on the wood that's not covered by leaves. (Don't mention about spiders -- since they can climb fences as you know and I don't care about them) **Can monsters exist near my house?** The distance between my torches is 5 metres.


title: Where are the mining streets?

text: While I was doing the exploration achievements, I remember two of the streets that are locked had a ton of mining nodes, but I can't remember which two. Anyone know?


title: How do you beat the fourth room of the Portal: The Flash Version map pack?

text: I seem to be having trouble in the fourth room of the Portal The Flash Version Map Pack. It's kind of irritating because, well, _it's just the fourth room_! This one should be child's play! The second part of the fourth room in the map pack seems as if it's meant to be analogous to room 6 in the flash game, but the same trick doesn't quite appear to work here. Any hints/tips?


title: What games can the Vita TV (PlayStation TV) play?

text: Since it's out in Japan, there should be some facts on what it can play. Can it play:   * PSN-only games? (Tokyo Jungle, etc)   * PSP games on PSN? (Dissidia Final Fantasy, etc)   * All Vita games? (Bullet Girls, etc)


title: How can I make a fake name when I use command blocks?

text: I'm trying to make a mini game but I want it to say like when you press a button over a command block it will say "BOB welcome", bob instead of the @a or @p sign and then after is the message all I understand is you use /tellraw please help me do this thanks to all that try


title: how to set up teams with command blocks

text: I am making a mini game in Minecraft where when you first spawn in you are in a lobby where there are two 2 3x2 caves, one blue, the other red. When someone walks into one of the caves it adds them to the blue or red team. I am wanting to know how to   1. Add someone to a team when they walk into one of the respective caves   2. Set it so when they press start game it teleports the players to their respective bases, not to the same one Finally its going to be a game where you kill the other team's leader (a wolf or ocelot) but how can i keep them from moving around without a fence or barrier because they are the leader. It would be easy to set up something that will check for players at X. example it would check for players at 93 9 20 then activate another command block


title: How do elemental procs work in Riptide?

text: In Dead Island (1), every time that you landed a critical hit with an elementally modified weapon on an enemy, the elemental effect would be applied. Among the elemental effects, there are fire, shock, impact, poison, fire, and bleeding. In Dead Island Riptide, this is certainly not the case. It seems that when that an elemental effect is applied and when that you critical hit, are independent variables. What's the algorithm for when the elemental effect is applied? Secondly, how can the elemental proc rate be improved?


title: Does the Body Blows skill apply to more than hand-to-hand attacks?

text: In Dead Island Riptide, John Morgan, the hand-to-hand combat specialist, has a skill in the third tier of the Combat tree called "BODY BLOWS". "Gain chance to perform very powerful fist and kick attacks, with the ability to knock down your enemy.   1: Critical attack chance increased: 5%   2: Critical attack chance increased: 10%   3: Critical attack chance increased: 15%" To borrow a saying, "text trumps table." So, I trust the second half, the numbers more than the implication in the description. However, this much of a critical attack chance increase applying to all attacks seems overpowered, so I doubt that it works with more than hand-to-hand attacks. Note: John Morgan's attacks don't change, at least not in terms of animation and indubitable effect, with the acquisition of this skill. Does the bonus apply to all types of attacks or just hand-to-hand ones?


title: What are my "bank" and "guild bank" and how do I access them?

text: I had the same question as StrixVaria -- what happens when you "deposit all collectibles" in your inventory. However, I didn't completely understand the answers -- the two banks mentioned -- how do you access them? Are they among the menus and windows, or do you go to a map location, or something else?


title: Is there any point to co-op dueling?

text: I've noticed that if I punch one of my buddies I can start a "duel", but I have not yet initiated one (due to many midgets who deserve my bullets more). What happens when you duel? Is there any benefit for winning or penalty for losing?


title: How is money shared in co-op?

text: I am inclined to think that money is somehow shared in co-op, but what is exact formula? Do all players get the full amount found, or is the amount found divided equally - or some other formula?


title: Is it normal to get overleveled weapons from chests?

text: Sometimes while playing Borderlands, I find a big red chest and then realize that the weapons are like +2 or +3 higher level than I am. I can't even play with those items until I level up. Is it normal that the loots are uber-leveled like this?


title: Is the Power Bash ability in Skyrim any use for 2-hand weapon focused character?

title: How do I create symmetrical and even struts?

text: I'd like to add some EAS-4 strut connectors between some components to improve the stability of my rocket. But I can't seem to add them with any kind of reasonably symmetry and evenness. The second attachment is entirely free-hand, and it always results in a somewhat crooked strut. What I'd like to do is just connect two components, e.g. fuel tanks, with the shortest possible connection. How do I do that?


title: Switches after finishing Splinter Group

text: Just after you finish the necessary killing for the quest Splinter Group, in the Bloodshot Stronghold, there are four switches (wall, tv, pipe valve, floor lever), which change five lights .... but I haven't managed to find the right pattern. Is this a red herring, or is there some reward if I can get them all to green?

text: I'm at a hotel and I have Internet, obviously because I'm on this website. But anyways I can't join my friends game. Both of our local server option is on. I don't understand why it's not working. 0.75


title: How do tier bonuses work?

text: Each skill in Payday 2 has a "tier bonus" associated with it. For example, the "Die Hard" skill in the Enforcer tree has a tier bonus of "You gain 10% more health." Under what conditions do I gain these bonuses? Do I need to spend a point in the skill?


title: Advantages and disadvantages of using beast-form to travel quicker on foot

text: I'm traveling from Winterhold college to the Shrine of Azura - it's cold, I don't like (other) wolves and it takes ages. So I assumed the beast form because it can sprint way faster, and stamina regenerates at insane rates. Is this a wise decision? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using beast form to travel faster? Do I need to kill people I meet to extend bloodlust, or can I kill a rabbit to continue? Strangely, at the mine a 'fugitive' approached me and then asked me to store something. I was given two dialogue options (! as a werewolf) but could not do anything later.


title: How to change items or things in the pouch?

text: I'm playing Zelda - Skyward sword. I can't change items or things from my pouch or items collection. When I'm on the "item menu" I do as I'm told - I press and hold B to select, but the moment I let go all I get is a description of the item :( What do I do wrong?


title: Missing jade statue on the Waterfront

text: I've collected all the other statues - and in fact even remember collecting this one in the Popstar Lead #3 mission, but somehow the "return the statue" mission never came up for that statue. Now, I can neither "return the statue", nor can I find it on the boat in Waterfront. The map shows the statue as a collectible, but when I get close to it the icon disappears. How do I reset it?


title: Is there a way to change the Raynor loading screen in Starcraft 2?

title: How do I beat Grand Duchess Faolain? (Twilight Arbor Spoilers)

text: The final encounter in Twilight Arbor story mode is quite hard. The Grand Duchess Faolain torments Caithe with phantasms of Destiny's Edge, including Mr. Sparkles (but not Garm, oddly enough). so the encounter is fighting those 5 instead of Faolain herself. Only Mr. Sparkles is not a Silver-portrait elite, which means all of them hit hard and have a fair bit of health. My group focused on Logan Thackery, and brought him down easily enough, but as we moved on to Rytlock, we were surprised to discover Logan had reappeared, at full health to boot! How are you supposed to win this encounter if everything you kill comes back a few seconds later? Do you have to kill them all at the same time? A specific order? What gives?


title: What effective combat strategies exist with the cloaking device?

text: I recently unlocked the Stealth Cruiser, but my first game with it is going less than stellar. Cloaking alone seems like an ineffective way to survive a battle, as the time between cloaking is so long that you can get hit multiple times by each enemy weapon before you are able to cloak again. The result is that most of the battle is spent desperately putting out fires and repairing subsystems, while also trying to deal with the enemy ship. Are there effective combat strategies that involve the cloaking device?


title: What do I do with all my beans?

text: I bought a bunch of magic beans from the guy sitting outside of Zora's Domain when you are a child. I could only find two locations to plant them (the one right near where he is sitting, and the one in the Kokiri Forest). I still have a few (I spent quite a bit of money on this, thinking they would be useful), but I don't know where else to put them. Where else is there ground for planting beans?

text: You have to use cats to switch between Catwoman and Batman in the main story, but I've seen only seen one group of cats, the ones right next to Catwoman's apartment. It's a hassle to fly back there whenever I want to switch. The game says that there are multiple groups of them, but I can't find more. Where are all of the other cats?


title: How many hours have I spent in Skyrim?

title: How do I play the Eets level pack?

text: I got Eets on Steam, but I got a non-Steam download of a level pack for the game. I unzipped the folder just to my downloads folder, but the levels won't play. I assume there is some spot that I need to put the folder - problem is, I have no clue where that might be. Anyone know what I need to do here?


title: Is it possible to join the Aldmeri Dominion?

text: I've been toying with the idea of creating a high elf who pledges allegiance to the Aldmeri Dominion. Is this possible? It seems like they are enemies of both the Empire and the Stormcloaks. So, probably not, but I thought I'd ask. N.B.: Answers will likely contain plot spoilers.


title: Can I rearrange the placement of the items in my inventory?

text: When playing video games, I can get pretty pick about things. Specifically, the placement of items in my inventory. For this reason, Skyward Sword is bothering me slightly, since my Slingshot is in the lowermost slot of my `B`-activated inventory area, when I feel it should be at the top. Is there any way I can rearrange which items go in what slot, or am are they stuck where you are when you obtain them?


title: What happens in the ending of Batman Arkham City?

title: How to get a large ocean map (is it even possible)?

text: ## Is there a theoretical limit to how big oceans can become with the current terrain generator? **Backstory:**   I am searching for seeds for a project where I want the area around origo (x=0, z=0) to be as much ocean as possible. While searching I found this thread, where a user claims to have a seed that creates this world (his screenshot): ![Big ocean world](http://i.stack.imgur.com/u1ODw.png) This map would be sensationally perfect for me, unfortunately however, trying his seed "FOUR o FOUR" I don't get this world. Other users fail to get this world as well and asked him to post the numerical seed using a seed extractor thinking there might be a typographical error. He then claims he used the tool and posted "-165589391". This however is the numberical seed that "FOUR o FOUR" gives, and naturally the same world as before. One theory is therefor that there was an error when this map was generated for him, or he was using a map editor or a mod or something. But I was wondering if such a map actually is possible at all. **Edit:**   @SevenSidedDie:It is certainly possible, however the thread was posted late in march, after biomes were added and after the ability to enter seeds were added, and he specifically mentions the seed used to create the world (and taking the hashcode of his provided string do indeed give the same integer he later posts. @fredley: He specifically says ~~that you spawn at 0,0, ergo an absolute spawn.~~ to go east from 0,0. The world I created has a random spawn, but I've checked the entire area from -500,-500 to 500,500, and nothing resembles the map he has shown. @fredley: What do you mean by "looks like I got the world you're talking about"? Do you mean the world I desire? If so, can you please tell me if the seed is any of the two I mention above? I doub it somewhat, because even though there is a lot of water around the coordinates (46, -293) in your screenshot, a Cartograph reveals that the map is in no way the same as the desired. Here are some Cartographs from "FOUR o FOUR" and "-165589391". The red X marks (0,0), and as you can see they are the same, but not anywhere close to the desired map: FOUR o FOUR: ![FOUR o FOUR world](http://i.stack.imgur.com/03025.png) -165589391: ![-165589391 world](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ccopw.png)


title: Within a same weapon category, does "more expensive" automatically mean "better"?

text: There is a somehow large panel of weapons choices in Payday 2, with a wide range of prices (from $10k to $500k) and unlocking at different levels. After a some tests, I'm pretty convinced that, regarding handguns (secondary weapons), the Deagle is one of the most interesting: few ammo and some recoil, but great damages and gadgets possibilities. And it's also one of the most expensive handguns (and secondary weapons).   The Kobus 90 stands at the exact same price ($501,300), unlocks at the same level (36) and looks like the sub-machine gun counterpart: way less interesting to me, but perhaps the "best" sub-machine gun ? Does it mean that all the pistols cheaper than the Deagle are not worth it and can simply be sold back once I bought the Deagle ? Same question goes for the rifles and shotguns (primary weapons). I'm wondering it because   * it doesn't sound like a good gamedesign choice (once you can afford the most expensive weapon, you can sell back all the others)   * if didn't work this way in the first Payday I feel some " _better_ isn't revelant" remarks coming up: of course I mean " _overall_ better", which requires a bit of abstraction over the gameplay, I have to admit it ;) But since some weapons are almost never part of any matchup (stealth, rush, endurance, ...), it doesn't sound completely absurd to imagine some overall ranks for each category of weapon. I rarely see players playing with other handguns than the Deagle, for instance (it happens, but rarely), nor with the basic AMCAR or AK.


title: Is it normal for a boat to break after like 5 blocks travel distance?

title: What is the benefit of Aquatic Helms over regular ones?

text: In playing Guild Wars 2 so far, I've only come across standard helms by way of the Trading Post. However, the filters also let you choose Aquatic Helms. When I first found this, there were none for my level. I figured it let you breath underwater for when I arrived at an underwater zone. This doesn't exactly seem to be the case, as I can stay underwater seemingly indefinitely in the starter zone I'm in. **What is the benefit of an Aquatic Helm over a standard one?**


title: Do Assassin Recruits die if the Templars retake a Den?

text: When I liberate a Den from the Templars I normally fill up by new slots right away however I am wondering, if a den gets contended and I fail to repel the attack, do Assassin Recruits die if a den is retaken and what effect does this have on recruits out on missions. Also if recruits do die, how does the game determine which ones are killed?


title: How can I get the Mechanist's suit back?

text: Short story, I sold the Mechanist's armor to a caravan and then entered the Ant-agonizer's lair. Can I get it back? Long story, I was scavenging when I came to the town where those to guys whose names I find too long to type again, have their fight. I went for the Ant- agonizer first then realized her lair was ridiculously close to the town, so I did the Mechanist's hideout first, used a successful dialogue option and he dumped his suit on me. Overencumbered, I dropped the heaviest thing in my inventory(His suit), used the grab button so it was just floating in front of me, and high-tailed it to the town's merchant. They don't have one. So I waited for a caravan, sold my non-essentials(his suit and helmet included), and began the Ant-agonizer's Lair. She says she won't talk to me until I have the suit. Can I get it back?


title: Are there any other factors to Mediterranean Defense Mission which could cause 100% success to fail?

text: While reading the perks for completing the Assassin Guild Challenges one of them was that Recruits would be more efficient in Mediterranean Defense Missions. Since I always make sure that I don't send Assassins out unless the success rate is 100% (which is what I did in Brotherhood, at most I needed 4 Assassin Rank recruits for a mission to be 100%). I am wondering, even if a mission's success rate is at 100% when selecting recruits to dispatch, are there still factors which could lead to the mission failing, or is the Assassins Guild perk for Mediterranean Defense Missions just for those who want to risk missions which aren't on 100%


title: When does the first recruit come back?

text: During the tutorial about Assassin Recruits, after completing a mission with him about a former assassin killing off Assassin's I sent him on a mission as part of the tutorial. The mission name is The Little Prince, the description says something about the Sultan's third son who's been held hostage by Templars, the amount of cash I would get it pathetic compared to the amount of XP which is I think 13,500, and there's no time limit, when selecting my recruit for the mission just him gave the mission a 100% chance of success. Since it lists no time limit till he gets back I am wondering when does he come back?

title: How to automatically update a Team Fortress 2 server with SteamCMD?

text: I have a Windows server running Team Fortress 2 (TF2) with SteamCMD and I would like to enable auto-updates. For the moment, I have to do it manually with SteamCMD using the `app_update` command but this is very bad as I must check daily if there are new updates. This is what I've tried :   * The `-autoupdate` arg when I launch the game (`srcds.exe -autoupdate ...`)   * Putting the SteamCMD commands in a text file and using the `-steam_dir` and `-steam_script` args Is there an easy way to do this?

title: What item bonuses apply to my follower?

text: There are a lot of different side effects an item can have, and I assume that things like magic find have no influence on any of "our" found items at all. However, I'm not sure about other things. For example:   * Do followers get life-steal on weapons, too?   * Does increased orb healing make any difference?   * What about +experience after kills? Will my follower level up faster? and probably a lot more. Is there some general rule as to what effects of an item apply to followers, and which don't?


title: No description on equipment stats

No text, and so far after searching online, nothing posted on it. Anyone have a link or a breakdown of the stat icons actually are on the equipment status menu of the game?


title: How do I defend against Nydus attacks in a StarCraft 2 team game?

text: I played a 3v3 last night with _mostly_ novice players. It was PTT vs. ZZT. One of my opponents got sight in the rear of our bases and started flooding the place with Roaches and Hydralisks via Nydus Worms. We were able to fend off this attack with our various defensive units. Unfortunately, these had been up at the choke point and not really prepared to run back, which took some time so the Zerg were able do to some serious damage. What's more, the Zerg were able to retreat handily back to the Nydus Worm and live to harass again a minute later somewhere else. What are some good ways to:   * Detect an incoming Nydus attack quickly to react?   * Destroy the incoming Nydus Worm before it completes building?   * Take out the Nydus Worm after the units come out so they can't retreat?   * Prevent the whole thing from happening in the first place? In this case I don't think denying sight would be possible, considering they had a Terran player with no qualms about using Scanner Sweeps. My initial thought for some defense was maybe getting some patrolling Marines or Reapers in the backs of the bases, just to start shooting at the thing when they saw it building. But then I wasn't sure how _many_ it would take to soundly deny the building from completing. Another thought I had was perhaps a Photon Cannon near the edge... would that be enough to take out the Nydus Worm before it completes (assuming we could place it well to see the best Nydus build locations)? _PS We did end up winning the game due to superior macro... and one of their players unfortunately disconnecting._


title: How come 4 Warp Gate Rush does not dominate professional play?

text: This might be a dumb question; I actually don't own SC2, so what experience I have is playing friends' accounts. But my friend has been playing on Diamond + Platinum, and so far he seems to be unopposed by 4 warp gate rush. Which is basically 4 warp gates + proxy pylon within 6 minutes, and sending in 3 zealots 3 stalkers. Anyone who tries to tech up simply gets destroyed, because he has no units by the time the warp gets there. Is it because he hasn't been encountering anyone who is actually good? And what are good counters to this, if I ever end up buying SC2 and playing against him? I feel like this can't actually be a competitive build, because it doesn't seem to be the win-every-time strategy in professional games. edit: I guess the more specific question I am asking is, "What are essential/crucial weaknesses in this build? (in general) In particular, the weaknesses that prevent it from being the end-all build"


title: How to adjust the controls for NFS Shift to deal with a braking problem

text: I'm playing NFS Shift on my pc using my keyboard. I have kept the control setting to casual. This causes the "Assist braking" option to be high and compulsory. ![Assist braking option](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rYs3n.png) Now this works in a very stupid way. Very frequently when I'm driving with leading position and a sharp corner approaches the AI slows my car automatically so much that other cars behind me overtake me at blazing speeds. This gets especially annoying when there are sharp corners near the finish lines. So I noticed that there are more controls to fine tune the way braking works by defining the **brake dead zone** and **brake sensitivity**. I can only hope that making changes to this would also affect the wonderful assist. Question: What setting should I keep for the **brake dead zone** and **brake sensitivity** to deal with this problem? ![Driving control options](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2NX93.png) **Edit:** You can open the image in a new window to see a larger size.


title: What happens if I save Berthold and his sister?

text: There's a spot behind the High Overseer's office where a woman is being accused of being a witch. Her brother, Berthold, is trying to defend her. When negotiations go sour, Berthold draws his sword and kills one of the guys, The other one then stabs him in the back and goes after his sister. I didn't get my crossbow out fast enough to save Berthold, but I was able to sleep dart the surviving overseer in time to save his sister. She ran out to Holger Square and disappeared. **What would have happened if I had been able to save them both?**


title: Does "Big Stinker" count as "Bad Medicine?"

text: I'm currently using the "Big Stinker" rune on my Gargantuan: > Big Stinker   >  The Gargantuan is surrounded by a poison cloud that deals 15% weapon damage > as Poison per second to nearby enemies. I was considering stacking this with Bad Medicine as a passive: > Bad Medicine   >  Whenever you deal Poison damage to an enemy, their damage is reduced by 20% > for 3 seconds. This seems like it could be useful to make my Gargantuan even more tank-ish. However, I don't know if the poison effect counts as poison damage for the purposes of the passive. Can anyone confirm (via some repeatable test and/or official statement) that this works or doesn't?


title: Are the directions of the tower's posts always the same? (N,E,S,W) In Die Rise, Black ops 2, High Maintenance Achievement

text: I got as far as punching the tower with the Galvaknuckles last night with 3 friends but when we had finished what we thought was the correct combination - no achievement. I know there is always a tower and it is always next to the same post. OK so this tile can of course change colour but can it change direction? Surely the directions would stay the same throughout every game? Or is North sometimes South etc etc? Also, does anybody know if it has to be Samuel to galvaknuckle the tower? Or can it be anybody? Thanks.


title: When are the melee attacks worth using in Doom II?

text: I've been playing Doom II for the past few days, and I've never really used a melee attack at all. The berserk seems like it'd be awesome, but I always end up switching to a shotgun once I get in a real fight because I take so much damage when trying to actually punch mutants. Even the chainsaw seemed next to useless, to the point where I just ignored that it existed. When are these melee attacks worth using? Are there any techniques I should keep in mind when using them? Or were they added just to have more cool items and not to actually see serious usage?

title: Why are there no tanks in Fallout 3 / New Vegas?

text: Is there a reason why you never see any tanks in Fallout? For a civilization constantly at war and so heavy on the weapons development they seem to focus on infantry all the time. You could argue this was because of the fuel being scarce but there are so many nuclear cars around this seems a tad void (since military always comes before civilian toys). The closest thing to a tank is the Chinese chimera tank, which is a converted oil drill/rig. All I've ever met in my travels are army trucks, and once a Jeep. I doubt I missed them so is there any reason for the lack of military vehicles?


title: About security on Minecraft plugins

text: My son discovered MineCraft some months ago.   I decided to buy him a premium account.   He hosts a server to play with his friends. Now, he wants to install kind of plugins to "hack" (in his term) his server to be able to dig larger part of land at once... He told me that he would like to install the "bukkit" plugin   He told me also about a "server starter" "server starter" I'm less confident about installing this stuff... Does exist a kind of "official" repository for these stuff ?   Which one I should not install for security reasons ? The server is running on a window computer. I've read that exist an OS for running a server on Linux

title: How can I reliably play Fallout 3 DLC without an Internet connection?

text: I just moved to a new apartment, and I popped Fallout 3 into my 360 before the cable company got around to turning my Internet service on. Before the move, when I did have an Internet connection, I completed two DLCs (The Pitt and Broken Steel); I had some items and side quests left over from those ( **spoiler** : e.g. the gun The Infiltrator and the side-quest about selling cameras to the BoS). After the move, I opened up my old save file and wandered around the DC Wasteland some, but didn't do any quests. I then saved and turned off my 360. My Internet service was turned on the next day. After that, when I opened my save file, it looked like I had never completed either DLC; the unique items were not in my inventory and I was hearing Wehrner's Distress Signal again. How can I get my items back? Or, if that's not possible, how can I play Fallout 3 while not connected to the Internet without losing my progress?

title: How do you get a Team Fortress 2 server started?

text: I recently purchased a Team Fortress 2 server. It (at the time) featured mostly control points maps with a few maps intended to act as breaks mixed in (sd_doomsday, cp_gravelpit). Voting was enabled so if people wanted to skip these maps if they wanted. I invited people I could, and eventually people started joining randomly. The best we got was 7 v 7 (it's a 24 slot server). Then the map changed to granary and some people left. After that, the map changed to cp_well and everyone left except for one guy who was trading for a vintage direct hit. After receiving said item he left. After that I removed all non-cp maps and also removed well from the rotation. What can I do to get people to actually join the server without inviting tons of people each time? I thought we would have had enough people to sustain the server, but well apparently killed it instantly, and we were losing people in granary, so I don't believe that would have been enough.

title: Gameplay differences between Morrowind and Oblivion?

text: I played the hell out of Morrowind, but that's not saying much - it's a massive game overflowing with additional user-generated content. I've never played Oblivion, nor had much interest in it once I heard way back when that it had been "dumbed-down" for console players. However, time goes on and the Elder Scrolls itch returns. Would someone who has played both extensively be so kind as to give me a breakdown?

title: How often do Senate and World Council votes occur?

text: On the main screen, there's options to vote for the Senate and the World Council, which the game says will globally affect players. However, it doesn't specify how often you get to vote for a new initiative or president. The descriptions are vague, saying that "frequent" votes take place for the Senate, and new presidents are appointed on a "regular" basis. For example, this is the current Senate vote. ![senate votes](http://i.stack.imgur.com/egooo.jpg) As you can see, some of the bonuses are quite good, but I'm wondering how long these bonuses will last before new ones are cycled in.

title: Why am I so exhausted?

text: I've created a Virtual Pro in _FIFA 12_ who seems to have a real lack of energy. Even if I play a match as him and never use sprint, he is worn out by the end of the match. After a match of playing, the coach will e-mail a few days after a game telling me he's sitting me out of the next game because of exhaustion. This has happened after every single match so far, about 8 weeks into the season, so I skip every other week. Is there a way to increase my virtual pro's energy? If there is, in the meantime, is there a way to get the coach to sub me out of a game? I'm playing Career mode as a player, not as a player-coach, or coach.

title: How to airsuck and deal with airsuck?

text: As you know, pyros have the ability to _airblast_ , or push things away with a jet of compressed air for 20 ammo. You might not know that sometimes you can apparently use a jet of compressed air to _suck fleeing spies into the Pyro._ What's going on? Is airblast behaviour wonky if a player is too close to the pyro? Is the pyro just airblasting me obliquely into a wall and somehow the game won't push me back if that happens? Is it just netcode wonkyness? How do I get out of this situation?


title: What is the TF2 crate drop rate?

text: Now I have been searching a while now for an answer to this question. One particularly helpful site was this: LINK However, all this site told me was that: > Mann Co. Supply Crates and other usable items drop on a separate timer, > meaning that these items do not affect the interval between regular drops. So, I followed a link to this site: LINK However, I looked at the wikia page's contents, but there was nothing stated about the drop rate for crates. I am referring to different types of crates too, not just normal ones. With the new update, Munitions crates #82 and #83 have been added into the game. Do these crates have a different drop rate compared to other crates. In addition, the Strongbox crate, #81, went 'rare' on the 27 of February. How rare is 'rare'? Salvage crate rare? **In other words, I would like to know how the drop rates for the following crates work:**   * **Standard Crate**   * **Series #81 – Mann Co. Strongbox Crate**   * **Summer, Fall etc. cooler Crates**   * **Salvage Crates: #30, #40, #50**


title: If an item is too powerful to repair, am I screwed?

title: How long do 'War Justifications' last in Victoria 2?

text: Several times I've gone to the diplomacy screen to start a war only to find my previous justifications are gone. Is there a time limit to 'claim' those justifications?

title: How do I stop the AIs from being hypocrites?

text: For example, they get mad at you when you ask them to stop spying at them, and also get mad when you catch one of their spies. They get mad when you vote against their propositions and vote against yours all the time. They spread their religion all the time but doing the same to them gets them mad. They settle near you and asking them to stop makes you mad, but god forbid you settle near them. Is it possible to disable this? I'm open to mods.


Before the last update it was possible to start a game on normal or nightmare or hell difficulty and in such a game a character with a high level was able to find items with lower level. But now I find only level 70 items with a level 70 character even if I play on normal difficulty. How to find level 60 items with a level 70 character?


title: How are diseases spread?

text: My village of about 350 was short on laborers for my new expansion, so I accepted 30 nomads in the town hall. Almost immediately, there was a cholera outbreak. I was not worried, as I'd dealt with diseases successfully before, and I had two hospitals with physicians and plenty of herbs. However the disease spread very quickly and eventually killed off my population. I am wondering about the mechanics of diseases - logic would dictate they spread as they do in life, through proximity between villagers. Is the key to treat diseased individuals immediately and hope they did not come in to contact with anyone? Are some diseases more potent, deadly, or contagious than others, or is the difference only in the name and they are mechanically identical? Are villagers able to be contagious before they are marked as diseased or are they marked immediately upon contact? Do disease events only come up when nomads arrive?


title: How do I choose which card I want my opponent to discard?

text: When I cast Distress, I am supposed to be able to choose which card the opposing player discards. However, I have not found any reliable way of making the program discard the card I want it to.

title: Why is my city not generating more happiness after purchasing happiness structures?

title: Which gender suits which side of the force better?

text: I finally got some time to play KOTOR, but not enough to replay it multiple times. While the most differentiating choice is between the light side of the force and the dark side, the choice of gender is probably also important (class as well, but I think I know which ones I choose there).

title: Why did my weapon recharge bars get cut in half?

text: Using the Kestrel, sometimes my weapon recharge bars get cut in half, as if my weapons officer suddenly gained multiple experience levels, even though they didn't. In the latest instance, this happened _after_ a fight, not during it. I had just saved a Federation ship from the rebels, and they gave me a Breach missile and some scrap. Once I accepted the gift, my weapon recharge bars got cut in half, and I think I heard the "level up" noise. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Why did this happen?

I quickly switched the hammer mode from 3x3 to single block to work on some details... or that was what would have happened if I actually had it selected. What the key press actually did was use the offensive power of my gem armor and produce a big explosion at my current position which destroyed half of my machines and most of the walls, leaving an unsightly crater in the ground. I know the map state got saved just a minute or so before that happened. Next time that happens, is there any way to quickly leave the game without saving the new mapstate?

title: How can I beat Hyperius the invincible?

text: So two friends and I (2 sirens with Res, one gunzerker) have been trying to kill Hyperious for a couple hours. At best we could get him down to about 1/4th health. We have The Bee and the Conference call and we know to res each other, we know to stay spread out, but his AOE "nuke" attack is _so_ long range. We're thinking the trick must have to do with Aggression management and his robots. Once you kill all 4 robots he's vulnerable, but still hard to kill and his aggro seems random; even with 2 Sirens we couldn't make sure everyone stayed alive. It's not that we healed too slowly (our phaselock came active almost instantly) but at some point it'd always wind up that both Sirens were down, and if the Gunzerker tried to res one of us, half the time he got taken out too. Also, the Bee seems oddly useless against him. I know the bee _itself_ hasn't been nerfed, but the damage boost seems useless in this fight, even when the shield is up. Is this due to the shields or some special property of the boss or what? So what do we do with his robots? Leave one alive, shoot Hyperious when his shield is down, kill all the robots ASAP or what? What team should I have? Do we really need 4 Sirens with healing spec? How can we kill Hyperious?

Unfortunately I don't know how often I already succeeded so I'm curious how many (roughly) opportunities I'll get in Klurikon.


title: What's the difference between the two ways to create games against the computer in Starcraft 2?

text: In Starcraft 2 there are two ways to set up a game against the computer; you can choose "Play versus A.I." on the single player screen or you can start a "Custom game" from the multiplayer screen and add A.I. opponents. What are the differences between these two ways to create games against the computer? Does one have any advantages over the other?


title: PC Compatibility of MadCatz Rock Band 3 Wireless Pro-Drum and Pro-Cymbals Kit for Xbox 360

text: I would like to ask if there is anyone who tested Xbox 360 Rock Band 3 Pro Drums in a PC? I'm planning to buy one. Although I like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, I plan to use it in a Drummania-like (Konami Japanese game) setup. There are existing drum sets for Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but if I use that, it has less drums and will result to plugging 2 sets. Additional:   The drivers to be used are in here as specified here.   The drum simulator used is DTXMania.


title: What's the deal with the new rarity level in the Captain Scarlett DLC?

text: I heard Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty has a new rarity level; something pinkish? How will I recognize the new guns, and how do I find them?


title: Why I need to verify Steam file integrity when a play Civilization V in DX9 mode?

text: In order to play Civilization V in DX9 mode I have to verify the file integrity, and Steam downloads a file. Any idea why I have to do this in order to play?


title: Battlefield 2: 32/64 player map mods in single-player and impact on online play

text: I'm a very casual gamer these days and happen to quite enjoy the single-player mode of Battlefield 2. However, I like the 32/64 player maps from the online/multi-player version. It seems there are some mods which open up the 32/64 player maps in single-player, but will these mods impact my ability to play online multiplayer? (i.e Will I get issues with Punkbuster?)


title: Force Unleashed - Vader just stands there

text: I'm finishing my play through of Force Unleashed, and I've gotten up to where you fight Vader on the Death Star. I battle him in the hallway, then he goes into the back room, with the hot floor. I fight him there for a little bit, and then he just ... stops. He doesn't attack, he doesn't defend, he doesn't throw things, he doesn't walk around, and I can't cause any damage to him. Is this a known bug in FU? I know it was widely regarded to be an EXCEPTIONALLY buggy game. I'm playing the PC version on Steam.


title: can't earn 'Cooperative novice' in sc2?

text: I'm trying to earn the Guide One achievement. The last one I need to complete is the **Cooperative Novice** * _Win 3 Cooperative games_ * I have 2/3, but I don't remember how I got the 2. I've tried 2v2 melee, 2v2 cooperative agains't ai, but neither has earned me "cooperative game" win. How do I get my last win? I'm trying through 'custom games'


title: Is there any way to get better deals when trading in Risen?

text: Can't seem to find any barter like skills...


title: Do nomads in Banished wait?

text: In Banished, if you have a batch of nomads asking entry and do not want to deny them per se, but just wait a little bit to stabilize your existing population, will they wait? In other words, if you neither deny or accept, will they wait until you do one of those, no matter how long they are left waiting?


title: Cannot get Wujeeta to tell me her dealer

text: I gave Wujeeta the potion, talked to her, and there's still no option to intimidate her to the point to tell me who is her dealer. Has anyone else had this problem? All it lets me ask is "What is skooma?" and after that there are no other options. Is there any other way to get the key from the Jarl? Because I have done a lot of things since I gave Wujeeta the potion and I do not really want to go back through all my saves and re-do everything I have already done.


title: How do I get the water element?

text: It seems like I've completed every room in this area, but I still can't manage to grab the water element from beneath the crab like creature. How do I get it? Bonus points for giving a hint and putting the full answer in spoiler text, I really like to figure things out myself!


title: Is it possible for a non-lord to take a lord hostage?

text: The King of Sweden went missing. None of the other lords knows where the heck he is. I've gone and scouted every town and castle of the enemy faction and did not see him in any of the jails. I've also scouted as many enemy lords as I can find and did not see him there either. The only thing left I can think of is if he went and lost to some stupid bandits or enemy scouts and they're dragging him around somewhere. Is this possible?
