title: What's the backstory if you don't import a save?

text: In Mass Effect 2, if you created your Shepard from scratch, the game assumed you'd mostly made Renegade choices in the first game. I'm wondering what the lay of the land looks like for Mass Effect 3   * What specific important decision points are made by default with a precreated Shepard?    * Are any of the decision points that happened in the first game different from the way they were for a newly-created Shepard in the second game?   * Is there any significant content you can miss out on as the result of a decision point that had a poor outcome?   * Does this depend in any way on your gender? Specifically, I'm thinking of both potential romances and > the choice in the first game between Kaidan and Ashley, which wasn't all > that important in ME2 but I see being a lot more important in ME3 since the > survivor is back in your party.   * And finally, > Who lived through the suicide mission at the end of Mass Effect 2?


title: How can I increase The Whispered World's resolution?

text: The default resolution for The Whispered World is 1024x768. I can't seem to find any way to increase this. I run dual monitors, so having it at such a small resolution makes my secondary monitor nearly useless. I navigated to `\Steam\steamapps\common\whispered world\` and opened the `config.ini` file, however there are no options regarding the resolution in this file, the contents of which are below:               FILE = data.vis     FULLSCREEN = no          MusicVolume = 90     SoundVolume = 95     SpeechVolume = 100      There's an executable `TWWOptions.exe`, however, this only allows me to choose whether I want it to run in Windowed or Fullscreen mode. Is it hidden in another file somewhere or is there simply no way to do this?


title: Can I resume a romance with Kelly Chambers?

text: I realize she's never quite counted as a legit romance, but I ran into her in ME3 and > convinced her to take the necessary steps to avoid the wrath of Cerberus I'm told she'll show up again later. Is it possible to rekindle things with her, and are there any special circumstances for doing so? If so, will it affect any current relationships? (I assume, like all characters introduced in Mass Effect 2, that if this is possible at all you have to have been involved with her in the first place, but since she didn't actually count for the Paramour achievement I can't be sure if this will be handled differently.)


title: Where does Rage store its savegames?

title: Is it possible to recover lost Xbox 360 Achievments?

text: I was playing some Skyrim earlier when my cat rubbed up against the console and turned off my 360. I left it off and went to run some errands. I returned to continue playing later on and it took me a while to realize my two thousand achievement points were gone. All of them. I checked to make sure I was signed onto **MY** Xbox Live account and I was. I logged out, logged back in and they were still gone. I restarted my 360 and the same thing. Just before posting this I visited Xbox's site on my account and my account looks like it's been reformatted. Is there anything that can be done about this?

title: Pocket Academy - How do I pick a good event planner?

text: When the yearly event comes up, I have to pick a student to plan it. The interface shows me the basic stats of each student, but nowhere does it explain which stats might contribute to success. I assume popularity plays a role, since the "planning" consists of talking to the other students and convincing them to participate. I also thought that other stats might make a difference, depending on the event (e.g. athleticism for a baseball event). However, I don't have any actual evidence to confirm or deny these hypotheses. So, what makes a student a good event planner?


title: Do I lose materia and equipment when I lose a character?

text: **SPOILER** : This question involves major plot points of the game. > Now that I know Aeris dies I don't want to give her any equipment or materia > because I'm afraid of losing it ... except at this point in the game I'm > forced to have her in my party and without equipment/materia she brings my > party down. So I wonder: > Is it possible in Final Fantasy 7 to lose equipment by giving it to a > character who leaves/dies? If you can answer for Aeris only it's still much > appreciated.


title: My internet is so slow Steam gives up downloading my stuff. What can I do?

text: Well, I'm in a difficult situation at the moment. I'm temporarily apart from my usual internet connection, and forced to use a really shitty solution. It's slow in ways I can't even explain: sometimes Chrome gives up at loading simple pages due to timeout errors. Going straight to the point: I've bought some titles in the current sale, and want to play some of them the sooner possible. The problem is I can't download any of them. In fact this happens with every program that implements its own downloading system - they just go corrupt or cancel in the midlle of the process. Software specialized in downloading stuff usually do just fine for me, but Steam just won't. Is there any workaround? Perhaps some different configuration or external tool. I can login (after some insistence) just ok, but not download any game/update.


title: Killing Fontaine

text: Throughout the game I didn't bother using my little health to get little sisters for ADAM. The result is a very small health and EVE bar. To top it off, I have only two health kits left. Is there any easy way to kill him without having to replay the entire game?


title: Compatibility of controllers for PC games

text: As the number of console ports seems to increase, there are more and more games that are meant to be played with a controller like on a console. The keyboard controls are sometimes pretty clumsy. If I want to play games with a controller on my PC, are there any compatibility problems with different controllers and games? Are there some standard controllers that work with most games? So, could I just choose any controller and happily play my games or do I have to be more careful in my selection?

title: How can I force ONLY rail export of goods from a trade port?

text: I have a trade port with a freight rail terminal, that I use to export processors. Because of traffic issues, I do NOT want to export using trucks, especially since the rail capacity is more than enough to export everything. However, even though I took away ALL delivery truck garages from the trade port, trucks still appear (from the region, I guess) and pile on my traffic problem. Can I force this trade port to export only using rail?

title: Does accomplishments progress carry across multiple playthroughs?

text: Mass Effect 3 has several " _Do X Y times_ " accomplishments for example, the " **Bruiser** " accomplishment which requires a certain number of melee kills. Do these accomplishments require me to complete all of these action on one playthorugh or does it stack between multiple saves? If progress does carry over between playthoughs, do I need to import a save into a new game for progress to carry over or can I start an entirely new save?


title: How can I use a custom widescreen resolution?

text: I am trying to play Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force for PC, which is an older game based off ID Tech 3 (the Quake 3 engine). In comparison to Quake 3 this game has a variety of additional options, but still seems to be limited to a specific set of resolutions, none of which seem to include 1920x1080. Is it possible to set this game to use a custom resolution of 1920x1080? For additional bonus points, is it possible to get this game to run in a borderless window mode?


title: How does discovering new patterns/recipes/schematics with reverse engineering work?

text: Is there a limit to some crafted items as to how "high" they can go? Will some not go beyond blue or purple? Can most items even go up to magenta-quality (super-epic or whatever)? Does the chance to discover the higher quality recipes change with level or is it some fixed percentage? (I was burning my low-level materials on some enhancements and it only took me 3 items to get up to purple; lucky?)


title: How to play a multiplayer team death match in MW3 indefinitely? (no scoring)

text: I do not know if this is possible but I think the online team death match is too fast? The game ends every 10-20 mins when the score is reached. Is there a way or a mode that let's you play indefinitely without scoring or at least to join a game with extremely high score goals? Currently I have no choice and I am automatically joined in a random game. This is PS3 btw.

title: About the passive ability from Lux

text: Okay, so Lux' passive marks an enemy everytime you hit him with a spell, so you have like 6 seconds to hit him with your AA to "ignite" it, which means you will deal some more magical damage. Now I played quite some games with Lux and also read some Guides, but I still didn't figure these 2 things out ( because when I engage I just bring down my combo without looking for details ^^ )   1. Does her passive get "ignited" only by AA or also by her other spells?    2. Does her Ulti also mark the enemy ?


title: Is there a way to save the communist deserter from execution?

text: In chapter 4 - Front Lines, you can sneak through the Communists attack on the Nazis and see a captive "Red" being executed by his superiors (if you stand there without interfering you even get a "moral point" contributing to the alternate ending). I tried saving the captive but whenever I shoot any of the executioners first, he falls dead to the ground immediately. Is it even possible?


title: In Dark Souls, do you need a slashing weapon to cut off Seath's tail?

text: I read on the Wikidot Dark Souls wiki that you can cut off Seath's tail by inflicting it damage equivalent to about 15% of his health. Also, if I recall correctly, I managed to cut a gargoyle's tail using by big bad Great Club. However, using the tactic described on the same page (have Seath blow on the great shard and use the stun time to slash his tail), I have managed to inflict very heavy damage to his tail (about a third of Seath's total health), and yet it did not cut off. Is it possible at all to cut his tail with a non-slashing weapon?

title: Why there are no 2v2 pro tournaments?

text: I enjoy a lot following starcraft 2 tournaments, both by downloading replays and by watching commentaries. I noticed though that all tournaments are 1v1. Is there any particular reason for not having non-1v1 tournaments? I guess there might be some like:   * hard to follow action   * problems in organising team and matches   * all-alone fame hunger ( _don't think so_ ) But all are blind shots. Any more information regarding this?

title: Can't complete Totems of Hircine -- stuck with Aela as follower

text: I picked up the Totems of Hircine quest, which forces you to keep Aela the Huntress as your follower throughout. I left it in my quest log for a while and did some other stuff, including curing myself of being a werewolf. Later when I went to do the Totems quest, I found I couldn't get into the Underforge (the door just doesn't show up as a usable object when I aim at it). So now I can't complete the quest and I'm stuck with Aela as a follower (she doesn't have a dismissal dialogue option, and she cannot die). She also doesn't take orders or carry stuff and she gets in the way a lot, so I'd really like to get rid of her. Anyone know how I can fix this?

I've never had this problem before when I played it on XP. Maybe it's an ATI card problem, hard to say. So, has anyone has problems like this? I would like to get rid of the mouse lag, it looks like the game message system (which handles mouse and keyboard) bandwidth gets full or something like that. So, maybe I can somehow limit my CPU/GPU speed with some program? Is there any? PS I cant play this game on DOS, so DOSBox won't fix it.


title: Is there any reward for filling the Sticker Museum?

text: I finally released the Toad from under the fountain, and he showed me the Sticker Museum. While it is nice and all, I don't know if I want to give up my precious stickers to him. Do I get something for giving him stickers? Or is it just something I should do because I am a good person?

title: Why don't multiplayer games require you to open router ports anymore?

text: It used to be the case that you had to open ports on your router to play some multiplayer games. I haven't had to do that in many years -- pretty much every game works online out of the box. What changed?

title: Why am I suddenly hostile to the whole world?

text: I've been doing a Cathar world conquest, and suddenly all hell has broken loose. The entire world seems to be against me... in a weird way. I'm not in any war, everyone is just hostile for some reason. Here's my ruler's diplomacy screen/active wars: ![wars](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ejzz8.png) As you can see, I have a few truces, but a very large number of these yellow blips. When I click on one, it takes me to a completely random (as far as I can tell) duchy. I've gone from places in Russia to North Africa to India by clicking on them. My borders currently don't really extend east of Italy so there's no adjacency, and there's no rhyme or reason to the religion or culture of the pips (which I would expect if this meant I had, e.g., a Jihad or Crusade called on me). Hovering over them produces no tooltip text. ![enemies](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xqW8d.png) That's a picture of the Byzantine Empire (who I'm spying on) as you can see, I'm hostile to their armies, even though I'm not in any active war against them. ![sieges](http://i.stack.imgur.com/QqcDg.jpg) Here are some sieges, as you can see, I've completely sieged a province in Italy (upper right), despite there being no war. Some army I'm not hostile to partially sieged one of my provinces, which I can't siege back. I think it's a trade post that got sieged, though technically I own the trade port somehow. ![ledger](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gnoED.jpg) Finally, there's the ledger, nothing out of the ordinary as far as I can see. Recent notable events in my game:   1. This seemed to occur immediately after I killed the Italian king and got caught (so I could declare another Holy War without breaking my truce).   2. Cathar very recently displaced Catholocism as the main branch of the religion.   3. I had a holy war (as far as I can tell, a normal Holy War, not a Jihad) called on me by the Shi'a Caliph, which I crushed.   4. I think there are a few distant event-spawn host invasions, but that's really far east of me. It's currently 1064. Can somebody explain what happened? I really have no idea what's going on and having tiny little 500 man armies failing to siege random things in my empire and generally slowing down my troops with fights I have no vested interest in is rather obnoxious. I should note that I can still declare wars as normal, and I can get warscore, siege, and enforce demands as normal. Nothing seems to have changed except the game made me hostile to everyone.


title: How to get Justice Points in WoW

text: According to WoWWiki and several other websites, Justice Points are rewards for participating in normal and heroic dungeons that match the character level. I've been doing random dungeons using dungeon finder since lv15. I am now lv65 and have been in 20+ instance runs, but didn't receive a single Justice Point, nor did I find any place on the game interface that mentions anything about them. Did I miss something obvious?


title: Can you lower a bonfire intensity after burning a bonfire ascetic?

text: Is there any way to lower the bonfire intensity after burning an ascetic? There was some information on the internet that burning an effigy would lower the intensity in addition to the impact on invasion/co-op. I'm getting the impression this is misinformation, though. So, is there anything that can reduce the impact of an ascetic, or are you always headed up toward the intensity 8 cap?

Which Firuch Iceblood II would have the higher max stats at level 70? or would they be the same? If someone can answer this question, I'll be able to do the rest of the things :)


title: Impact of missing or hitting the buttons during the scenes

text: The game is full of automatic scenes where you have to crouch, hit, avoid, jump or other actions with the performance of actions with your gamepad (pressing buttons, moving joysticks or the controller itself, etc). I guess missing all the expected actions in a single scene will make you loose the game, or star over from the beginning of the scene. Am I right? There is any benefit or reward for not missing any action? There is sections in which there is different results due to the number of missed actions?

title: Malzahar and Counter-Jungling

text: I love Malzahar as a champ, as his mix of his AD from Voidlings and AP from spells allows him to be very versatile. I recently starting messing around with him in jungle and he clears surprisingly fast, as well as he ganks being generally strong if executed well. The only problem I see is countering Jungling. In the one or two PvP games I've done with this, luckily it hasn't happened to me. How would Malzahar stand up in a counter jungle situation? I know he is a good duelist, but not as much early on. If I always had a Voidling ready after camp clears would I be able to successfully withstand, escape, or even win a counter-Jungle? And if I could, how would I go about doing so? P.S. Would Spirit of the Spectral Wraith be a viable item to build for Malzahar?


title: Keeping track of multiple bases in Minecraft

Is there any efficient way to keep track of multiple bases in Minecraft, besides writing down the coordinates of each base and using the `F3` key to travel to each one?


title: How to defeat the boss in chapter 9 of Dead Space 3?

text: I'm playing on Normal difficulty and am getting hammered trying to defeat the boss in Chapter 9. How are people defeating this enemy? The IGN walkthrough just says it's "easier said than done", to stay out of its reach and use the quick sprint to roll out of its way. All that is standard, I'm wondering more about the weapon choices people are using. I'm using the Evangelizer and Negotiator.


title: Getting the most out of AC3's Wolf Pack multiplayer

text: I've been really enjoying AC3's new Wolf Pack multiplayer, but it's proving very frustrating. When you get a good game it's brilliant, but more and more games are filled with players who completely miss the point of the game. To win at Wolf Pack you need to hit a score threshold to get to the next segment and get more time, and your NPC targets spawn infinitely (although always on the far side of the map) To win you need to get high scoring kills, and quickly, while completing challenges (like 'Get a FOCUS bonus' or 'Get an ACROBATIC kill'). Many challenges involve team work (like SYNC kills which require each assassin to lock a different target) and later segments get tougher - higher score thresholds and targets that hide and defend much better. The problem is keen (I don't think they're greifing) but confused players that don't understand how the game works at all. Let's call them _Neophyte_. For instance: I'll set up an INCOGNITO HIDDEN FOCUS POISON OBJECTIVE kill for around 1400pts, and then (before the poison takes effect) _Neophyte_ steams in, alerts all the targets and gets a contested 100pts (robbing both my kill score and the 30 seconds or so I spent setting it up). Then a SYNC segment will come up, the other 3 players will set up their targets - _Neophyte_ steams in, fails the objective for everyone, sets off a trip bomb and gets themselves stunned. _Neophyte_ will run from one end of the map to the other robbing and generally messing up everyone's kills and ruining any chance of a SYNC or FOCUS bonus for any other players. They'll constantly get caught by smoke bombs and get stunned every other kill, but that doesn't sink into _Neophyte_ 's head. They'll average about 150pts per kill. Usually the game ends the round by about segment 10-12, with _Neophyte_ having twice as many kills and half the score that anyone else has. One of these players will ruin a match and finding a game without them is getting harder and harder.   * Is there any way to kick/ban these players? (I'm sure everyone else will vote with me and they'll learn that they're doing something wrong)   * Is there any way to avoid them?   * If neither of them is possible is there any way to educate these users? (They can already clearly see when other players have a lock, when other players have FOCUS or POISON set)    * Is there some in-game behaviour (they either don't have mics or don't listen to them) that would show them what they're doing wrong?

title: Should Sheared Sheep Sprout Surplus Stuff?

text: While playing minecraft on Xbox, I have set up a sheep farm to harvest coloured wool. It has been some time since I sheared the lot of them, and yet, they are all still bald (not totally bald, but spotty, I guess). According to the wiki, a sheep that eats grass will regrow its wool, allowing it to be sheared again. I have not witnessed this behaviour yet. However, after reading the whole page I found that in earlier versions of minecraft, the sheep did not eat grass nor regrow wool. I was unable to find anything on the Xbox Version page that indicates the status of this feature. My question is this: Will my sheep regrow their wool, or will I need to initiate a breeding program to harvest a continual supply of wool?

title: Can I see my troop morale?

text: In _Mount & Blade_, you're given the option to recruit villagers for your army.

I would very much like to take over these villages and rule over them all with an iron fist, but I'm not sure if my troop morale is high enough to do any of that. **How can I see my troop morale?**


title: How high is the production bonus of a great engineer in Civ5?

text: To quote the manual: > Special Ability: Hurry Production > > You can expend a Great Engineer to create a sudden burst of production in a > city. The production is immediately applied to whatever is presently being > built in the city – unit, building or Wonder. This will usually be enough > production to immediately finish all but the most massive Wonders, and it > will drastically shorten their production time. I had a great engineer during modern times, and using it to help produce the Statue of Liberty (1200 prod needed) **yielded 750 production**. Letting it help along for a Stock Exchange immediately finished this building (650 prod cost). I assume that the amount of prod. generated is **somehow game-stage related**? Are there any known specific rules?

text: Vs. a normal midi keyboard and the Midi Pro adapter? In particular,   * The RB3 Keyboard is not a full-sized keyboard. If we _do_ use a full-sized midi keyboard in Pro mode, can we/do we have to use the entire keyboard, as it's played in the actual song, or can we/do we have to stick to two octaves (like the RB3 Keyboard)?   * The RB3 Keyboard can also function as a five-button peripheral in non-Pro mode. Can we do the same with a normal midi keyboard?   * I've read that the RB3 keyboard has velocity-sensitive keys. Does RB3 take this into effect? Will I lose some functionality if my midi keyboard isn't velocity-sensitive? Does the expressions bar also add functionality?

title: If multiple systems have an available trade route, which one gets the route?

text: In Endless Space, trade routes are set up automatically once a new planet is available to trade with: you're at peace with a race and explore a new planet among that peaceful race, or you become at peace with a race that you were previously in Cold War with. How does Endless Space decide which of your systems gets the new trade route, if multiple systems qualify for it? If one system's trading capabilities change, by building a new system improvement to give +20% trading effects, or assigning a hero who's good at trading, can that system steal trade routes from other systems in your empire? If you have a system that's fantastic at trading (lots of improvements, huge population and economy, etc.), but has used up all of its available trade routes, and you build an improvement that grants an additional trade route, will it steal a route from one of your less- trade-y systems and thus make you fantastically rich?

title: Healthy Gaming Snacks

text: I tend to snack on junk food whenever I settle in for a long gaming session, but I can only imagine this being a terrible thing for my health. What are some alternative healthy snack options for gamers? Ideal qualities include:   * **Longevity** : Game sessions can last a very long time, and thus food should not 'go bad' if left out for a few hours.   * **No Wetness** : Greasy fingers make poor gaming. As do any other snack foods that can get a gamer's fingers wet.    * **Energizing** : Keeping your energy up is key in gaming, so energizing snacks, especially long-lasting energy, are ideal.   * **Easy to eat with just one hand** : Obviously since we're talking about gaming food here, the fewer hands you need to eat the food, and the less time it takes to consume it with just one hand, the better off you are.    * **Good For You** : Healthy foods. It's in the title. It should be good for you, or at least not as bad as junk food.

title: How can I find the ancient device with less searching?

text: I have found the ancient device maybe 7 times and seen 5 of the outcomes. To see all 10 for the _Wheel of Misfortune_ achievement and to find all the locations for the _Nooks and Crannies_ achievement, you need to find this thing quite often. I've spent hours of farming Desolate Sands and it barely seems to show up. **How can I speed up my runs so that I'm not wasting time wandering the Desolate Sands?** I've seen it appear at the north and south ends of Desolate Sands. Any information is useful if it saves running around this place. Does it appear on the sides or can I skip searching these? If I see certain things, does it mean I can stop searching that side of the center gap in the middle of the Desolate Sands? It seems like the large spiral location takes the place of the Ancient Device as I've not seen them on the same side of the gap. I've also never seen it near the 3 Mysterious Jars that summon Pazuzu so it's possible this takes the place of the ancient device as well. I've also seen a location with a booby-trapped chest in the middle of a large circle and an area with a bunch of skull-shaped spawn closets, but I've definitely seen them near the Ancient Device. Anything that once I see it says: Stop searching here and move on would be very helpful. Is there a rule like "there can only be 1 random dungeon in this area", meaning that if I am trying for one of the device's dungeons and I see Vile Cavern or Shaitan The Broodmother (who's death opens up Cave of Burrowing Horror), I should just re-instance and try again? Any rules that can end a search early would also be very useful. Is there some sort of temporal component that determines when it will appear? Does it appear more during certain times of day? On/close to the hour? During certain moon phases? Anything that can tell me when I should be searching would also be very helpful. ![Here's where I've seen it](http://i.stack.imgur.com/HOaKC.jpg)

I've got a SCAR, which has a tactical attachment, so I can knock the soldier out if I want to, but I'm pretty sure he'll just wake back up again. The colonel says that I have to secure the crusher so that the Marines can land, which I interpret to mean "kill or knock out all of the KPA". **Is there a way that I can permanently knock out a KPA soldier on a vehicle- mounted gun, or do I have to kill him?**

title: Hunter pet not keeping aggro on some Timeless Isle mobs

text: I have a level 90 hunter running around Timeless Isle for the past two weeks. I noticed that for some elite mobs, like the Death Adder, I get aggro just after three shots. My pet, with Growl set to auto-cast, can't seem to hold aggro on these elite mobs. I also noticed this occur on some of the rare elites that I happened upon solo. On other elite mobs, my pet keeps aggro fine. I've Google'd my issue and saw quite a number of hunters experiencing the issue. Some said that there are some elite mobs that are untauntable. This goes against what some are saying that warlock pets hold aggro just fine. Unfortunately, I saw nothing official (from a moderator response, etc) regarding this issue. Are some elite mobs in the Timeless Isle really untauntable? Or are hunter pets just bugged on some elite mobs in the Timeless Isle?

title: Use arrow keys instead of mouse in Skyrim?

text: Is there a way to use arrow keys to look around and control direction (instead of the mouse). The mouse in Skyrim is quite messed up. I tweaked it to be more responsive (because the default settings are horrible). But now the screen jitters as I move around (cause my mouse movements are not totally smooth.) It would be really nice for normal walking around to use keys and just use the mouse in combat. Is there a way to do this? WASD for walking and Arrow Keys for looking?


title: Can you gimp your character by insufficiently planning your passives?

text: With over 1000 passives to choose from, builds in PoE cover a pretty wide range of options. Normally, when I come into a game like this, I tend to do a lot of research and planning, both theory-crafting my own build ideas, and reading up on what other people use, and what is and is not successful at end-game levels. However, I was contemplating doing something different with PoE. For once, I was thinking it might be interesting to just wing it, and pick what sounds good as I go along. I don't intend to just completely pick random passives; rather, I want to pick a couple of themes, and stick with those, while avoiding passives that are unrelated to those themes. For example, on my level 19 marauder, I've been planning on sticking with 1 hand weapons and a shield, so I've avoided any passive relating to 2 hand weapons, or even any that are specific to a particular weapon type (i.e. no increased sword damage, etc.). I'm also sticking roughly to Str only, picking up only a couple of skills that spill over into dex or int territory. However... as a result of my "no research" policy (one which I'm having some trouble sticking to), I don't know much about the end game. Given that PoE offers very limited respeccing options, I'm getting concerned that I'll get up to high levels of play, and find that my character is permanently unable to participate in end-game content (and by end-game, I'm not even talking about competition like PvP, ladders, or special events, but simply being able to perform effectively in basic story progression encounters). How likely is this to occur? How much of a discrepancy exists between a well- built character and a haphazardly-built character, assuming similar levels of general gear and skill? Are some classes more or less forgiving?


title: What are some of the most profitable loyalty store items?

text: In EVE, one can accumulate large amounts of loyalty points by running missions for various NPC corporations. These loyalty points combined with cash and sometimes other items can produce expensive faction or corporation-specific items. Sometimes I've considered "cashing out" the loyalty points in a store to buy it's most profitable items. That way I could turn all of my loyalty points into sweet liquid cash. The problem is that there are so many different items that can be purchased at loyalty stores, I don't know which goods are the most profitable to convert. (I've considered faction ammo for instance) Now I know that market conditions fluctuate constantly, but I bet some items are obvious winners and others are obvious losers. Can anyone recommend some profitable loyalty store items to sell on the market?

title: MS Train Simulator timing issues

text: Microsoft Train Simulator has apparently an issue with timing. It gives running time-of-day clock, but the more stations I have to stop at, the more it becomes off. For instance, I were to stop at the station at 14:22:09. By my clock I am arriving late at 14:24:20. However, as I initiate the loading/unloading of passengers, it records my arrival time as 14:19:41. It tends to accumulate, and during one hour run the error goes up to the magnitude of four to six minutes. And that is very significant as to keep on schedule one has to constantly calculate average speed necessary to arrive at the station at certain time. Is that a known bug, or something rare? Is it platform or system specific problem (I run the game under WinE set as Windows 7)? Is it fixed with some sort of patch? I had read about editing `default.wag` settings file, as it appears that the game by default uses different values for on-track and off- track so-called time step (10 and 30 ms, respectively). Apparently, off-track time step manages parked train (load/unload, or stopping at the signal), and also the scenery, and that is why on slower machines one would want off-track to be less precise, as it loads the processor too much. One solution would be to match both on- and off-track time step values, but I would like to understand more how are those used exactly, how low ore high I should go when setting those numbers, what is difference in time solver methods (Euler and Runge-Kutta), and why by default both use different methods?

title: Minecraft 1.8 pre release will not work - any tips?

text: So my 13 year old son is a Minecraft player, and I've been trying to get the new version up and running for him. Howerver, neither the 1.8 PR 1 nor the PR 2 version seems to work. He's been running a 1.7.3 server without problems, but I can't seem to get the 1.8 stuff working. The server is running on my linux box, which has the appropriate port- forwarding set up. This has been working for a while with the 1.7.3 server, and it seems like 1/2 the kids in the neighborhood are connecting to it, so I'm assuming it's not the problem. Anyways, I created a new directory on the server, dropped in the 1.8 minecraft_server.jar, and started it up - it seems to start up OK, but I can't connect to it. For the client machine, I've tried both XP and Win7 machines, and Chrome, FF and even IE - the results are the same: I log in, click on "in browser" which takes me to www.mindcraft.net/game, I get a brief flash of "updating", then a black box for a while and then finally a white box. On the client machine, I tried deleting the entire .mindcraft directory from %AppData%, then just replacing the mindcraft.jar in the bin/ directory, and I also tried modifying the jar to remove the META-INF/ directory from the jar - nothing seems to make any difference, and I can't find any information on how to do any debugging to see what's going on. So is it possible to enable debugging in the browser to see where the problems is? Is this a known issue, and is there a work around?

title: Some menu screens have sides "cut off" on 4:3 screen resolutions in Mass Effect 1 (unreal engine 3)

text: Playing Mass Effect 1 on PC (v1.02 on steam). At 4:3 resolutions like 1200x1600 (useful for non-widescreen monitors and projectors), some menu screens display incorrectly: the left and right hand sides of the screen are clipped (as if "zoomed in" too far), so important information cannot be seen (like journal details and the map legend). Screens affected include:   * Map,    * Party Selection    * Planet details   * Journal It works fine when using 16:9 screen resolution when playing, like 1920x1080. **Anyone know how to fix this?** It's an Unreal Engine 3 game, so hacking the ini files might work if there is an applicable option somewhere, but I haven't found one yet. Similar fixes for other unreal engine 3 games might work, too.

I am currently at skils:   * Macery 4 (though I saw it at 3 skill 3)   * Bezerker Rage 1   * Flash-shaping 1   * Mathematigic 1   * Magic Training 1   * Smithing 3   * Emomancy 1 (Its a pure random skill set) Am I just seeing things? or am not seeing something obvious? or is the wiki lacking (I'd rather not be editing the wiki based on my suppositions alone)?

title: Consistently Unable To Connect To Minecraft (Login, Local LAN Server)

text: My kids have recently started enjoying Minecraft Pocket Edition, and it's a lot of fun to play with them. Of course, being hosted on a phone, the world isn't exactly persistent. We pretty much have a day or two to build things and then we start over. So I figured I'd look into setting up a proper local Minecraft server that we can play from actual computers (it's my understanding Pocket Edition can't use a proper server). Understand that I have every intention of _buying_ Minecraft, provided that it actually works... The first thing I did was set up a server on my Linux box. Following the wiki, I set up a server on my Linux box (and ended up using one of the control scripts available as well). All appeared to be working well from that end, but that's just on the command line so far. On my Mac I've downloaded Minecraft 1.5.1. When launching, it asked me for a login. So I registered an account. However, even though I can login just fine on the website, the game client always rejects the login. After a while (most of the day), the "Play Offline" option became available anyway. So, on my Mac at least, I'm still able to play offline and successfully connect to the LAN server and play the game. So I went about trying the same thing on a couple of Windows PCs. (One running XP, one running 7, one running 8.) All of them exhibit the same "Login Failed" error consistently. One of them, after a while, allowed me to "Play Offline." I can play single-player, but attempting to connect to the LAN server results in a Java socket exception. The other two PCs I only began testing recently, so the "after a while" for "Play Offline" hasn't elapsed yet. I've found a lot of discussions online (forums, YouTube videos, etc.) which address various underlying causes of the failed login. Some claim that all one needs to do is change one's password on the website, but that didn't make a difference in my case. Others suggest that it's a firewall problem, but I don't believe that to be the case this time either. It happens on both Windows and Mac here, and I can confirm that the Windows box used for initial testing inside my LAN has the Windows Firewall disabled entirely. This seems to be an awful lot of trouble for what is a massively popular game. Is this normal? So, to summarize, my questions are:   1. Why does my login always fail?   2. How can I resolve that socket exception? Ultimately I'm just looking to have a successful end-to-end run of the game. Again, I'll gladly buy it if it actually works for me. (Buying a copy for my daughter would make for a great reward for recent good behavior on her part, actually.)

title: Problem using Kinect for chat

text: I am trying to use my Kinect sensor for Xbox 360 live chat, but when I do this it doesn't seem to work as a mic. I've tried all the steps that Microsoft recomends but they don't work. So how would I fix this?


title: Is there any order to the Lorule dungeons?

text: I just got to Lorule and have no idea where to go. Previous games had a kind of metroidvania type system where the item from one dungeon unlocked the next. Now that I can rent/buy most of the items, I'm not sure where to start. I made it into one dungeon, but it seemed like I needed some specific equipment to purges part the entrance and nothing I had aces to seemed to work. Is there any sort of order to the dungeons in this game?


title: EVE Online API vs. CCP SDD?

text: What is the difference in the data that is available in the EVE Online CCP Static Data Dump and the API? Does the Static Dump contain all the data that could have been queried for the API for that period?


title: Is there a way to attack-move in Age of Empires II: HD?

text: I've just bought Age of Empires II: HD, and have been running through the tutorial missions to re-skill up (it's been a while since I played the original). On the last map of the tutorial I built up a sizeable army and told them to move toward the enemy base, however I couldn't figure out how to tell them to attack-move, i.e. attack any enemy on the path to where I clicked. I've been through the keybinds, but I haven't seen anything. Is there a way to attack-move in AoE2:HD?

title: How do I complete the first Thieves Guild quest?

text: I am currently in the city of Riften in Skyrim. I'm working on the quest **A Chance Encounter** where I've been asked to steal Madesi's ring out of the locked box in her merchant's stall. This quest initiates contact with the Thieve's Guild so it's important that I finish it. I'm able to get behind the stall and pick the lock without being detected. When it comes to actually stealing the ring, I'm totally stumped. Even while sneaking, I can't seem to get out of sight when I go in front of the box. There is not looting option when I try and take it from behind. Here's a view of the stall: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/z2Frk.jpg) I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. Short of chugging an invisibility potion, is there any way to nab this ring without getting caught? I'm sure I'm missing something.


title: Minecraft VPN server problem

text: I can make my own server and connect to it with ease, and my friend can do so likewise. However, I would like to join my friends server, but I cannot connect to his server but he can. If I have my server up and running while I try to connect to his, then I will be joining my own multiserver instead. But if he has his server running and joins mine, then there is no problem. And when I use the direct connect with his VPN IP it just ends up in a connection timed out. It seems like I can only recognize and join my own server no matter what I do. But my friend has none of these problems. Anyone got some tips?


title: Are there any missable items/Trinity Marks?

text: I'm replaying Kingdom Hearts for the first time in about 8 years--I'm also playing the Final Mix version for the first time (from Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix). I can vaguely recall that there were a couple of worlds that had the possibility of missing some Trinity Marks and items. Is there a complete list as to what items and Trinity Marks can be missed in Final Mix?

title: What does "cause extra bleeding damage" actually mean?

text: The Hack and Slash perk in the One-handed skill tree says that > Attacks with war axes cause extra bleeding damage What is bleeding damage? Is it instant or damage over time? Do undead take bleeding damage? I love the flavor of using war axes but I want to know more about this perk before I take it.


title: Desmond's Family Tree Assassins Creed

text: Okay, so i read somewhere (cannot find the link at the moment) that Altair, Ezio and the Kenways (including Connor) are not directly related to each other except through Desmond. Is there any family tree or something to show how he is related to them? And if the Kenways are on Desmonds fathers side, could he not have gone in the animus as well in Assassins Creed 3?


title: Which crew skills should I pick as a F2P player limited to 2 of 3?

text: I am a newbie to The Old Republic. Right now I am a Preferred Status player, so I have a total of 2 crew skills for selection. I am wondering what should I learn. I heard that for crafting skills, if I get only two crew skills (one for gathering and one for crafting) I will never be able to make blue items. So I would like to ask for some suggestions on crew skills picking. Should I pick two gathering skills or one gathering skill and one mission skill, then sell those materials on galactic trading network for credit? Or one gathering and one crafting skill, then buy the other crafting materials on the Galactic Trade Network?


title: How can I log into Draw Something if I have forgotten my username and email?

title: What does vsync mean?

text: In a few games (Osmos and Batman Arkham City are examples) there's a _vsync_ item on the video options menu, but I don't know what it does and don't notice any differences when it is on or off. What is vsync? What does it do?


title: How is score calculated in Google's 15th Anniversary Doodle?

text: I just managed to make 183 points (candies) in the doodle, and now I'm trying to reproduce that score on my computer. What is the best way to hit the piñata in order to have more candies? Is there any random calculation involved? I just tried to reproduce the same that I did to make that 183 score. Usually I try to hit the piñata with the end of the stick. At first when it balance to the right, and then when it comes to me.


title: How do I regain neutrality with Stormcloaks and Imperials?

text: I haven’t taken any sides as far as I know, but the Stormcloaks started calling me "unblooded" and the Imperials won’t let me anywhere near their camps. I’ve never hit a member of either faction as far as I know. I do help either if they are in trouble with bandits or bears or such, but never when fighting each other - I just move away fearful I might be drawn into taking sides. Is there a console command to set me back as neutral with both factions?


title: How can I get on the tunnel roof by MCOM A on Grand Bazaar Rush?

text: I've recently played a number of games of Rush on Grand Bazaar and when attacking I manage to run along the left tunnel, go to arm the MCOM and then get mowed down by people camping above the tunnel exit (circled below). ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/B3K0v.png) Is this hack to get up there or is there a legitamite way of doing so? Once one person gets up there his squadmates can spawn on him and put a beacon down so they don't have to worry about getting up there again.


title: Why does my nether portal reappear in a random area?

text: Every time I return to the over world through the nether portal, I appear at a random area in the world instead of spawning in the portal I originally used. The coordinates of those places where I end up have no pattern whatsoever. **Is there a way to fix this issue? Or do I have to delete the world entirely?** I also did not install any mods, texture packs and this is a Single player world updated to the newest version of Minecraft up to this point in time. In addition, the coordinates in which these portals appear are completely random and ever time I leave the nther, the portal spawns me in some other place.


title: How do I progress past the initial tier of gear/crafting in Terraria?

text: I've been playing Terraria for a few hours. I've got the basics understood - I've built houses for NPCs, explored, mined resources, etc. At this point I've got a gold Broadsword and some Copper armor. I keep reading about cool stuff on the Terraria wiki, but nearly all of it comes with caveats like "you'd better have a full set of <ridiculous armor> before you try this!" My question is: what do I do now? I can mine more gold/silver/iron, but that won't improve my gear by much. I'd like to find a Floating Island, but I have no easy way to fly or find them short of using a mapping tool. I'd like to check out the Dungeon in my world, but there's no way I'll be able to defeat its boss with my current gear. I'm just not sure what exactly my next move(s) should be to progress and get my character to the point where I **can** explore these advanced areas. Any tips?


title: What effect causes a green vortex on the ground?

text: While fighting a large group of enemies in Act 2 Normal, some of them used an ability that created a circle on the ground, with a sort of green, swirling vortex pattern in it. I didn't get a screenshot before they disappeared, and I haven't seen this effect since. My first thought was "green = poison", but it didn't seem like I took any damage from standing in them. What is this effect? Is it unique to a particular monster type? Or a random elite monster ability?


title: How long do defend quests last?

text: I played a round of Dominion last night and noticed two quests that came up for our team. One of them was for capturing a point, and the other was for defending another point. Our team wasn't doing too well at capturing the required point so I decided to help out with the defense point. We defended it for a good five minutes or so, repelling several enemy attack waves. Alas, in the end the enemy managed to capture it. My question is, how long do you need to defend a point in order to complete the actual quest? There doesn't appear to be any kind of explicit indicator for this in the game. Capturing a point is pretty simple, once you capture the point, you complete the quest. But defending something is different, how do you know when you're actually "done" defending? I can't imagine it's indefinitely, because what would be the point of the bonus you would receive for the quest?


title: How can I get more Cubits without buying them?

text: I was playing Chess Cube on Facebook and suddenly this popped up and I am not able to play any matches. ![screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rwIce.png) Why is this happening? Is there way to continue playing? (Other than buying the cubits of course.)


title: Can I gift games from my library?

text: I understand that once a game is in the library it cannot be removed, only hidden. My question is, can I gift an uninstalled copy of a game to a friend? I understand that this may be impossible due to legal issues, and that once a game is in the library it stays.


title: Are there guides on how to build arcade games for StarCraft 2?

text: I am interested in building a mini-game and figure StarCraft 2's arcade might be a fun way to get started. Some quick Googling has not turned up any any tutorials on where to get started. I know I can use the included map editor, but are there any introductory tutorials to creating StarCraft 2 arcade games available?


title: Why is my coal power plant not receiving coal?

text: I am building an industrial city that has a coal power plant, an advanced coal mine, an ore mine, a smelting plant and a trade port to store any excess materials in. My power levels have just gone critical on account of my coal power plant running out of coal; ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BIxzC.jpg) (Yes I know the power has gone off _now_ ) How can this happen? Why is my coal power plant not receiving coal from my coal mine even though it is currently _full_?


title: Do Tallboys count as found bodies, and how do I hide them if so?

text: I encountered Tallboys on Lady Boyle's Last Party, blink-jumped behind them and assassinated them, making the frame drop to the ground. I could not, however, find any body to hide left amongst the rubble. Also, as I dropped back down to the ground, I fell on a guardsman, and assassinated him. His body still remained, so I was very confused by this. Which leads me to the question, do tallboys count as found bodies, and if so, how do you hide them? UPDATE: Apparently the body would disappear with Shadow Kill, but then does the wreckage of the tall boy count for chaos if found?
