title: Why isn't Phineas appearing in my town?

text: When you reach milestones, e.g. 50% of insect types caught, Phineas is supposed to appear to hand you a badge. I've received the bronze one for Deep Sea Creatures, but haven't seen him since, despite having 60% of insects. Does he only come once a week or something? Why haven't I received the bronze insect-catching badge as yet?


title: Where's the Rainbow Jetpack gone in Jetpack Joyride?

text: When I first started playing Jetpack Joyride I recalled the Rainbow Jetpack, but at some point it seems to have disappeared from the store and now I can't get the Hippy Achievement. Any idea how to get it? I thought perhaps installing an older version might still have it, but I don't have a copy in iTunes to roll back to. Has it ever come up on sale in the store? FYI, the Jetpack Joyride wiki doesn't seem to give any more info either.


title: Will making a Restoration Loop-Fortify Enchant. . . insane Fortify Sneak percentage make me undetectable?

text: So if I created a Restoration Loop-Fortify Enchant potion and enchant a piece of equipment with a crazy Fortify Sneak percentage; Will I be undetectable at all times, or only sneaking? My character's already godly enchanted; I'm just trying to go around practically invisible, without having to cast invisible and muffle/placing muffle enchant. Or is there a way to make the spell last "infinitely"(aside from recasting after interacting with objects. I prefer the prior.)


title: What's the point of seraph weapons?

text: Am I missing something fundamental with the new pink seraph weapons? I mean they're good, really good weapons, but to get them you're looking at a lot of boss raiding - around 15 times per gun. I estimate that the pink items are roughly level with purple loot drops, making them rare, but really not that rare. Anyone who's boss raiding a lot is going to have some pretty decent gear anyway, most likely all legendary gear. I mean, the whole point of boss raids is an extended game for level 50 players, isn't it? Fact is that the pink items, with the exception of the relic (which is also the cheapest item), are not _as_ good as the orange items, but you're very _very_ unlikely to get even one pink item without getting lots of orange items first. So what's the point of them? They're so difficult to get, it feels like they should be one-of-a-kind awesome bits of kit, maybe with unique side effects. Instead they're, well, by the time you get them they're kind of meh. Am I missing something?


title: How to kill a Spiketor?

text: In Rogue Legacy there are these bouncing balls of dooooom that are fairly familiar form all video games in ages past. I have seen them die by hitting walls to many times but this is mostly just the ones that are moving vertically. They do show up as enemies when you have the good memory trait, but is there a way to actually kill them??? Is just watch them bounce the only way?


title: In Kingdom of Loathing, what does a 'fast ascension' entail?

text: I stopped playing KoL a while back, but I still remember people making outrageous claims of ascending in under 3 days or something of the sort, maybe even less. How is that even possible?

text: When you open the gate in your town to allow your friends to visit, certain game areas are temporarily disabled. What changes take place?


title: What are the connections between Portal series plot and Half-Life series plot?

text: I heard a lot of rumors about Portal series and Half-Life series plots relation but I didn't found any link. Can you describe which relations exists between this two stories?


title: What factors determine whether or not you notice when another player is hacking you?

text: I've been playing WATCH_DOGS on PS4 for a week or so. I have encountered a few player hackers in that time, both in _Online Hacking_ and _Online Tailing_ situations. In all cases where my character has noticed that he's being hacked or tailed, it's felt like an accident to me, the player. I am sure there are other times when I have had other players in my game and haven't even noticed, _or are there_? The last couple of times I noticed I was being hacked, I was in the process of logging off - I pressed the Start/Options button on my PS4 controller to go to the main menu and was informed that I couldn't go to the main menu right now because I was being hacked. I also noticed that the game sound and motion continued to run in the background on the Options menu screen, so I have taken to periodically pressing the Start/Options button to check whether or not the game is properly paused (no hack) or is not paused (being hacked). I feel a bit like this is cheating and it's also affecting my immersion in the game. My question is basically this:   1. If you are being hacked by another player, do you **always** notice and get a chance to respond?   2. If you **do not always** notice, what can you do as a player to maximise the likelihood that you will notice? For example, does it help having all the ctOS towers active / being in a _connected_ area? Does having your phone out/pocketed make a difference? Do certain activities help (e.g. hacking NPCs, starting missions)? i.e. what is it that triggers the game to inform you that you are being hacked?

title: Ping level in League of Legends

text: Different types of games have different requirement to the ping. I am new to MOBA and interested in its ping requirements. Particularly of ping requirements of League of Legends.   1. What is the maximum acceptable ping level for comfort playing in League of Legends?   2. What ping level is generally considered good in League of Legends?   3. What is the level of the ping in League of Legends than less then that value does not grants any advantage?


title: How do I talk (in-game) with a GM?

text: I got some issues in Diablo-3 and want to talk to a GM. There is a way to talk with them in-game? I only found the "Open a Ticket" option in the site. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/71jNU.png)


title: Low-resolution Images on loading screens?

text: I don't know why, but it seems every image in the game is in very low resolution. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gyxv2.jpg) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Dd9an.jpg) Even tho my options are ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZLIaP.jpg) What is wrong here?


title: Is boss loot stacked?

text: I've seen this other question which works out generally, but in the specific case of boss drops, are things stacked in your favour for any bosses/difficulties? I've recently started two monks and a barbarian and I've had two fist weapons and a sickle drop from Leoric, so it's gotten me thinking about this.


title: Somewhere to find achievements you own without being in-game?

text: I'd like to look up my achievements without having to boot the game every time I want to look for a guide. Is there a place online to see what achievements I've got or not?


title: Does the health bar length relative to the max HP of the monster?

text: Of what I've seen in game, the health bar of monsters can be longer or shorter, depending on the monster you're facing. So what makes the bar longer or shorter? My guess would be the max HP, but I do think I'm wrong on that. So what does?


title: Do anchored containers show up on scans?

text: If I were to anchor a container in nullsec or lowsec in a safe area as a sort of "poor man's POS", is it possible for another player to find the container without any ships around it? I know you can use combat probes to scan down ships and dscan to determine the general location of other ships and structures in the system, but do anchored containers show up on any of that?


title: Where do the DotA All Stars and DOTA2 announcer voices come from? (Ownage, Unstoppable, etc.)

text: This is a question that has been bothering me since forever. I have tried to find the answer to no avail. Back in the DotA days, and now DOTA2, I've heard those (hilarious) voices. I have read in several sources that the voice comes from the first **Unreal Tournament** , yet I don't recall hearing them in that game. In the next few games, the same words wre spoken, but never the same voice. Searching through the internet, I have found several sites citing tha those are the original voices, but they are not the exact same voices of DotA. I have heard those voices in HL mods (such as CS or TFC) Were those voices recorded specifically for DotA? If not, from what game? Any proof or investigation regarding that?


title: Are "on hit" or "per hit" bonuses applied for skill hits, or just weapon hits?

text: I have a per-hit bonus on my wand. Will this be applied every time one of my Prismatic Bolts strikes an enemy, or is it only for actual wand attacks? What about the "on hit" bonus on this helmet I have? ![screenshot2](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ogrEF.png) ![screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/LlSMV.png)


title: What affects when someone uses my pawn?

text: So I just picked up Dragon's Dogma a couple of days ago, and so far I love it. I'm a bit confused, though, about what factors into when other players enlist my pawn into their group. The game just gives a really unhelpful hint that says something like "encourage other players to enlist your pawn." So exactly what does one need to do to encourage other players to use your pawn?


title: Are there any hidden radio stations on the radios?

text: Scattered throughout the lands are radios where you can listen to music on random channels or just shut off completely. ![radio](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2kNzZ.jpg) Changing the station just randomly changes the station (as indicated by green and white the dial) to play different music. As far as I can tell, each particular station always plays the same playlist of music. On this particular radio, there are three stations that I can access:   1. ~30 degrees - Hard Rock   2. ~70 degrees - Soft Rock   3. ~130 degrees - Hard Rock It appears all radios have the same stations at exactly the same positions. Since the station selection is random, it's either these three stations the only stations here, some other stations can be chosen at a very low probability or can only be accessed under certain conditions. **Are there any hidden stations that can be accessed on the radios? Or are radios just merely useless items that you can interact with in the game and all have the same stations?** It'd be cool if there were other stations that didn't play music and had "talk show" like messages that adds more to the story. Maybe even hint lines or just another source of objectives (e.g., "a group of bandits are attacking this settlement" and you can save them for a reward).


title: What are the prerequisites (particularly levels) of the various Bonus Series questlines?

text: Starting with Balmorra for the Empire or Taris for Republicans, every planet in The Old Republic features a _Bonus Series_ quest chain. These quests often have a higher level requirement than the rest of the planet, as well as requiring that you've completed the 'primary' story arc of that particular world. They generally follow on to and 'wrap up' that planets storyline, and generally involve visiting several new quest hubs and doing a variety of additional quests. Some of these Bonus Series, such as the ones on Balmorra and Tatooine are availiable immediately after you finish the planets primary storyline. Others, such as Nar Shaddaa or Alderaan, are not availiable until much later. For example, Nar Shaddaa's bonus series is level 32, but an Imperial player will normally first go there around level 20. **What are the level requirements for all of the planetary bonus series, as well as any other prerequisites (aside from having completed the main story arc of the planet in question)?**


title: What's up with Outlaw's Den?

text: I've visited Outlaw's Den on Tatooine. It's an open PvP area and according to an article I've found from before the release, it should contain rare gathering nodes and also chests containing commendations. The place contains no such thing. I didn't find any chests there or gathering nodes. Why is that? Is there any reason to go there now or in the future? (Other than visiting the only GTM kiosk on the planet, while fearing that you are going to be killed while trading.)


title: Is the random chest game riggable?

text: Observe: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/x6NxR.png) I've encountered a rather shady character who is willing to let me open a single chest, out of three, all for the mere cost of 25% of my coin. Winning is worth triple my cost, so it's very much in my best interest to have much more coin, especially if I can determine which is the winning chest. Is there a way to determine which chest is the winner?


title: Do flechette rounds pierce/reduce armor?

text: Do flechette rounds actually bypass shields and/or reduce the effectiveness of armor? If yes, does the damage drop to 25% similar to how AP rounds work with shields? I haven't had much luck using these effectively in game. I was hoping to find an answer in this question, but the answers were not updated for shotgun ammo.


title: What does the full castle upgrade tree look like?

text: I hate spending money blindly on castle upgrades just to find out what it unlocks, because it's just a waste of money when what I unlock isn't something I want buy. Plus there are times where I'd like to unlock specific upgrades (like the class upgrades) and knowing the shortest path to unlock it would be very useful. To this end I'd like a list of the castle upgrades and the skills required to unlock each upgrade. An answer making use of an image similiar to this XCOM research tree would be ideal.


title: How can I pass the "No Looking" challenge?

text: While exploring the castle, sometimes a Fairy Chest can be found randomly. Each one of these have a different challenge to pass to let you loot them. Most are fairly self-explanatory, with the exception of the "No Looking" objective. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gOK82.png) I've understood that I have to get to the chest without looking at it, but how?

title: Where is the Cell Hallway Key?

text: There's an actionable door right outside Corvo's cell, but the key wasn't on any of the guards and it wasn't vital to the mission. How can I enter this room? Is it an Easter egg or something? What's inside? ![Cell Hallway](http://i.stack.imgur.com/cW8B9.png)


title: How do I get rid of these excess goat corpses around my Science Hole?

text: Okay, so I may have abused my demonic powers a bit: ![too many corpses, baaaaa](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0AvIl.jpg) I was trying to increase my combo by adding some targets that I could lick or headbutt between aerial tricks. However, it seems to have backfired. There's this massive pile of goat corpses littering the area. Every time I rotate the camera towards my Science Hole, the whole game lags for several seconds and the frame rate drops to the single digits. I don't really want to start over, as I still need to score some points and moving to a new area resets my points total. Is there any way I can clear these dead goats out of the way? I tried the goat equivalent of the fus ro dah (baa ro baaaaa?) but then they just clogged up the Science Hole and erupted in random directions.


title: How do you deal with high-level storylets, that inflict menaces on failure?

text: As you advance in Fallen London, the penalties for failing a storylet get stiffer: you'll pick up _Scandal_ , or _Wounds_ , or one of the other menaces. In the early game, the key to quick advancement is to attempt difficult storylets: whether you succeed or fail, you'll gain several change points per storylet you attempt, and you'll eventually succeed if you attempt the action enough. When you attempt an easy storylet, you'll only gain one change point. **How you do reconcile gaining menaces on failure with the desire to explore new content and advance quickly?** If you have a 50% failure rate on a storylet, you're going to pick up menaces rather quickly. Is this the way that Fallen London pushes you towards social interaction? The social actions reduce menaces faster and cheaper than the bazaar-purchasable menace-reducing items or being sent to one of the Places of Menace (a state of some confusion, the boatman, etc.)? Or should I gaze longingly at the shiny new content I've just unlocked and ignore it until I've gained another 15 points of _Watchful_ and are far less likely to fail?


title: Does Ghost in Dishonored reset when loading?

text: So I was playing through the campaign, achievement hunting, and I took a look at this post pertaining to the three white bolts meaning NOT detected. Only when it turns red. Only issue is - when I went through the mission, I got to the very end, and then got detected. I let them slice me in little pieces so i could just load the save that I was at and continue on. I loaded back before I was detected, and i finished the mission only to find that Ghost wasn't checked.. Does reloading the save even have an effect on this feat? or do I have to play the mission all over again until i go through the entirety of the mission undetected?


title: Where can I get Thieves' Guild armour?

text: When someone gives me armour that I don't want, I sell it. So I sold my Thieves' Guild armour, and now the fence wants to upgrade my armour and I can't sell anything to her until she does. Where can I buy more Thieves' Guild armour? Update: Getting the armor from qasmoke didn't work. It's been many in-game days and whoever I sold the armor to has had their inventory reset.


title: What is this ore, and why can't I mine it?

title: How much are the bonuses for each choice at the end of Act 1?

text: At the end of the raid on Loren's tower, you're given a choice to either set off the bomb or disarm the bomb. For setting off the bomb, you get a permanent Respect bonus. For disarming the bomb, you get a permanent Cash bonus. How much are each of these bonuses? Are they a one-time deal, like X amount of Respect/Cash at once, or are they an increased percentage of what you earn, like the perk you can buy that gives you 5% increased Respect earned?


title: If I build an Alchemy Machine, do I need to keep my Science Machine?

text: I managed to get my hands on an Alchemy Machine in _Don't Starve_. This machine gives me access to the Tier 2 crafting prototypes compared to the Science Machine's Tier 1 prototypes. However, I'm not sure if I can destroy my Science Machine now that I have my Alchemy Machine. Will I lose access to the Science Machine recipes? **What happens if I destroy my Science Machine with an Alchemy Machine in place?**


title: How to build a dungeon in Dungeons?

text: I'm looking for some advice on the new game Dungeons (the successor to dungeon keeper). The gameplay differs quite significantly from the old Dungeon Keeper (in a fun way though), however, I'm kind of lost on how to lay out my dungeon most profitably. I'd like to hear from others, what constellations of placing your rooms and pentagrams works best for you. So far it appears to be a trade-off between letting heroes accumulate lots of soul points and still be able to kill them reliably, but I haven't found a setup I'm satisfied with yet. I will post my currently preferred dungeon setup as an answer as well, so it can be rated and commented upon separately. PS: Bonus points, add a comment for any fansites/wiki-sites dedicated to Dungeons. So far, I haven't found zilch on the web, which is kind of strange?


title: Is there gameplay advantage of adding multiple similar parts to your creature in Spore?

text: In Spore, when adding a new part to your creature you gain the abilities that come with it (e.g. charm level 2, sneak level 1). Naturally, adding a better part (e.g. charm level 4) or replacing the older one gives you better ability. Adding multiple similar _health_ parts does seem to increase your total health for each part added. But is there some similar gameplay advantage when adding others kinds of parts multiple times? _(Of course, much of Spore's attraction is in creating a creature that suits your tastes, so of course there's often a point in adding multiple similar parts. What I'm asking is if there's also a gameplay advantage.)_

title: How can I get science from my space station to cash in the points?

text: I have built a space station orbiting Kerbin with a lander, science Lab Jr., Mobile Processing Lab, Goo Containers, a "workhorse" multi-purpose ship, fuel depot, and living quarters. I currently have 13 Kerbals living there doing various missions. The problem I'm having is that even if I process experiments via the Mobile Processing Lab, it only gives me 10-20% value, making the missions not worth the effort. The only other option I can think of is to have a kerbal gather all of the science and return it to Kerbin for full value. My question is this: Can this be done? If so, how?


title: Is the hardcore auction house separate from the normal auction house?

text: My understanding is that stash, gold, etc etc is isolated between softcore and hardcore characters. However, I'm curious if hardcore AH is separate from softcore AH. If not, then obviously this opens up for money-and-item-transfers to hardcore characters through the auction house (publishing extremely cheap auctions etc), which seems to be what Blizzard wants to prevent. Does anyone know?


title: How can I get a priest villager to get gold trade?

text: I've tried several times in creative to get the Priest type villager to have a trade gold, Gold -> Emerald. My goal is to have a villager in SMP that does gold as the last trade. But even though the sheet on the wiki says that Priest type can get gold trade as a common trade I've yet to see it. The disclaimer is that it can, but only if it cant do other trades? I'm not really sure. So that's what confuses me about it. I'm hoping eventually if i trade the last trade long enough gold will pop up, but i have no idea. Do they actually get it or not? Any insight or answers would be appreciated. This is the source I'm using http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Trading

I tried to shoot and crush my Bandito into his car, but somehow either he escapes or my Buggy gets destroyed. I even tried to bring a good car, but somehow I cannot find it once the mission starts. How can I finish this mission?


title: Are there any enemies other than Caius?

text: I have purchased the DLC Lightning's Story: Requiem for a Goddess for Final Fantasy 13-2 and so far have reached level 5 by fighting Cauis several times. While the adjusted combat system is good, I am finding the repetitive nature of fighting the same battle over and over rather tiring. I defeated Cauis after I reached level 3 and to go on levelling up seems rather redundant if there are not any more difficult battles to come. Is the only goal of this DLC to 5 star the battle with Cauis or will the story progress and unlock more battles after certain conditions are met?


title: Shooting causes controller to turn off

text: How do you fix the bug in GTA V that when you shoot with any character your controller turns off? I'm on XBOX 360 by the way. I can't advance in the game because every time I shoot or bump into something in my car, my controller turns off. This all started when I unlocked Trevor.

title: Why do multiple vehicles which are running the same route tend to bunch up together?

text: Having more than one vehicle working a single route usually means that after a while, the vehicles tend to bunch up together. I had previously thought it may be minute differences in delays introduced through, for instance, waiting for a free path for trains, differences in cargo loading time or random breakdowns. But even playing a game without breakdowns, and looking at the vehicle with the most stable route, ships in this case, the vehicles still bunch up together after a while with amazing reproducibility - behold! ![Three ships moving so close they almost completely overlap](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bht31.png) Trains and buses both exhibit this too, though it's harder to illustrate this problem with them. I know that timetables should prevent this, but building good timetable is hugely time consuming and quite difficult to do on a large scale. Is there some sort of game mechanics that's causing this, and what can I do to prevent this from happening without the need for either manual intervention or timetabling?


title: In Conquest mode, how fast does a team "bleed" Tickets when they own less than half the bases?

text: In the description for the Battlefield 3 mode Conquest, it's noted that when either team has less than half of the bases in their possession, they will "bleed", or lose, Tickets over time. How quickly does this happen? Does it occur at a set rate? If there are five bases and all five are captured, will the losing team lose Tickets faster than in a situation where four bases are captured?

title: Making your actions properly repeatable

text: Should be a simple question - In Nethack often I've wanted to gain the telepathic intrinsic by eating a floating eye corpse. Normally I'll try attacking it from a distance so as not to be frozen. This time, I tried making things easier by readying a group of darts, and then trying to throw them all in a row. So I typed in `n20f` and continually pressed the `right` button in order to aim my dart. However, this caused me to freeze up and get killed by a random giant bat, which was able to easily kill me since I was helpless. I'm playing the Windows port, so my arrow keys move me. Is there something I did wrong here?

title: How do you cope with unhappiness in Civilization 5?

text: Does anyone else have a problem with an insane lack of happiness in their empires? It's so bad for me that I looked at social policies solely based on their happiness, but the few that do add happiness are tacked on things like resources and universities and trade lanes, which are slow to come by early in game (and even later, the population grows way faster than they do). In war the AI sometimes gives up and hands over like 12 cities at once for peace (which I'd be stupid not to take), and even kept as puppets my unhappiness plummeted to -81 at one point (big map....) and I had to spend a lot of gold to quickly build the few happiness structures in the few towns that I didn't have them in. So how do you do it? Do you limit your settling? What about conquering civilizations? Is there a trick to it or all I can do is speed-research coliseums and theaters and that other building?

title: Blutsauger without any Medic achievements?

text: I just started playing TF2 and the only Medic-related achievement I have is Play Doctor. Yet, after only 2 hours of play, not all of which were as the Medic, I've already received the Blutsauger. The official TF Wiki says this is awarded after 10 Medic achievements are completed (Medic Pack 1). Why do I already have it?


title: What do the blue dots on the map indicate?

text: I know the green dots are "useful" items or "upgrades" to your equipment, and that gray is "not useful". What are the blue ones there for though?


title: What is the distance required for Ashe's ulti to stun for maximum duration?

text: As Ashe's ulti is described, a max of 3.5 second stun is possible. But how far must the arrow have travelled for the duration to be this long? > Active: Ashe fires a giant arrow in a straight line. If it hits an enemy > champion, it will deal magic damage and stun that champion for 1-3.5 > second(s), based on the distance the arrow traveled.


Crafting recipes are expensive. You pay like 50 m for Helm of Command or a few m for better Gem recipes. There are some people that sell their services, for example: 300 k + all crafting materials for Helm of Command etc. I read some of the threads on the official Blizzard forums and some of these people actually stream all their crafting, while others do not. Usually the streaming guys are more expensive. What is the standard procedure for getting stuff crafted by other players? And how can I get scammed, what should I look for? Like for example I want to get a better Gem or a Helm of Command? I could get the Gems from the AH, but they are 15% more expensive.


title: In early-mid game, how to fight as a mage with low magicka regen?

text: I'm just getting started in the world of Skyrim as high elf at level 13. I'm trying to build up my character as a pure mage, but my poor magicka pool and weak armor is proving to be such a huge handicap on me I started wondering if I've done anything wrong. I wear half/half heavy/light armors to balance HP and MP. In battle, my magicka usually completely drains within 10s with some firebolts, and even faster if I summon a flame Atronach, which dies pretty fast. Then I'll be stuck at an awkward point where I'm too crisp to get close up, and magicka regens too slow to rebulid another round of attack, and all I can do is stand there and watch my follower die. The only way to avoid this is drink a lot of magic potions, which are quite expensive. Another popular post has given some really interesting suggestions such as magic reduction but it seems to involve enchantments and perks acquired later in the game, which I do not have. What should I do to enhance my combat?


title: Can I unlock all the specializations from the start of the game?

title: How do I transfer DLC Packs from one PS3 to another?

text: A while ago I got a couple of DLC Map Packs for Black Ops 1. I recenntly by given a new PS3 because the old has trouble spinning a disk. I had someone help me do a save data transfer but it didn't carry over the DLCs. How to I redownload them to the new PS3 without deactivating my previous PS3's psn account for myself?


title: How to get a colonial nation to trigger?

text: As the Netherlands, I'm on a quest for world domination. My current enemies are Great Britain, Spain and Portugal, and I would love to take over their colonies. In my last war against GB, I annexed all of British Columbia, thinking it would immediately trigger into forming Dutch Columbia. But it didn't. Instead I was left hanging with 175% overextension. (Although I didn't get any rebels or events. Also, I don't think I should get overextension for overseas provinces. Anyone know what's going on here?) However, once one of my nearby colonies became self-sustaining, this triggered the entire area into forming Dutch Columbia. So if I want to take over enemy colonial nations, I should just annex them, ignore the overextension, and then settle nearby. Once the colony finishes, the entire region will form a new colonial nation. However, many of the colonial nations I want to conquer don't have free land nearby (or in some cases, I'm unsure as to whether the nearby land falls under the same colonial region). How do I get these colonies to trigger?


title: What type of kill do I need to get a fully recharged charge meter with the Tide Turner?

text: I checked the patch notes recently on the new Tide Turner, and according to the notes, shield bash kills are now supposed to recharge your meter as well as kills from the critical hit with your sword. Except I've noticed that I've gotten kills with Nessie's Nine-Iron and my shield equipped, yet haven't had my charge meter filled by the kill. Whether or not the charge meter actually charges back up seems inconsistent, though maybe it's just my inconsistent 'sword' swinging that's messing me up. So, for the record, what type of kill under what conditions must you get with the Tide Turner equipped in order to get a fully recharged charge meter?


title: Can emeralds be found in a world created by a version below 1.3?

title: Is there is website that explains the game mechanics for Skyrim

text: I am looking for a somewhat comprehensive site to explain the game mechanics to me. I have not (nor do I want to) play any other Elder Scrolls game and picked this one up on a whim. Unfortunately the in game tutorial only explains how to move (For those who find this hard to figure out its the WASD keys.. yes this is sarcasm :)). This game seems even more unexplained than Dragon Age was but there is quite a bit of information out there now about those games so its not so much of a bother.. For this game however, my google searches are coming up with minimal bits of information that leave me with more questions than answers. Is there a site? Should I just go snag a game guide to get the mechanics explained a bit?


title: Where can I find better armor / weapons in Skyrim?

text: I'm level 14 and currently wearing:   * Amulet of Talos (Looted of the guy that got executed in the Solitutude)   * Elven Bow/Warhammer (Stolen from display cases)   * Imperial Boots   * Imperial Officer's Helm   * Silver Amethyst Ring   * Steel Armor   * Steel Nordic Gauntlets Now, I can't seem to be finding apparel that has more armor or weapons that have more damage. I feel like I have been stuck on the same equipment for some days, how do I progress?


title: How do I determine whether a quest belongs to the main story line?

text: I've heard that there is a main story line in Skyrim, and that you have the main quests and procedurally generated quests besides that. How can I identify whether a quest belongs to the main story line, or whether it is procedurally generated by someone. I would somehow like to focus on finishing the main story line first...

title: Is there any way to lock the camera on an enemy?

text: I'm having a bit of trouble adapting to the new combat engine. The Arkham Asylum-style combat is not a problem, but the _camera_ is giving me trouble. It seems to stay put, even if I'm targeting an enemy in the foreground...even if they run off-screen, in fact. There doesn't appear to be a formal 'lock-on' like there was in previous installments, but is there any way to keep the camera turned towards my active target? This is really making my life difficult.


title: Why won't my escape key work in the keybindings?

text: I'm having this really strange problem that I just can't seem to figure out. My escape key won't bind. In fact, the option for using the escape key is simply grayed out in the keybindings menu: ![diablo3menu](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IpyvK.jpg) I can't bind or unbind the escape key at all. Though it's not necessary to use the escape key, it's driving me crazy. I use this key to log out of the game and to clear menus from the screen. Any ideas?


title: What is the cause of so many people disconnecting at the beginning?

text: In nearly every game i play someone disconnects at the very beginning. Is this caused by someone leaving the game already? I would find that very hard to believe because it just happens too often.

title: What's an hour of Saints Row: The Third time in real life?

text: Saints Row: The Third is my first experience with the franchise, and I'm trying to understand when city income will be available for me to transfer out. The game says one hour, but it seems I have funds I can transfer out at least a couple times an hour, and at one point I thought I got 'paid' rather quickly, with a death in-between. Is an hour a set time period, or do in-game activities (deaths, missions, etcetera) have an impact?


title: Does the aura color in Grand Prix Story modify its effectiveness for different actions?

text: In Grand Prix Story the drivers will at different times enter what is called "Aura Time", during which they are surrounded by a colored aura. Performing most any action (research, upgrade, train, parts install, etc) with that driver will trigger the aura and increase the effectiveness of the action. So far I have seen two colors of aura occur on the same driver (purple and white, and not at the same time). I am curious as to whether or not the color of the aura affects different actions differently, (i.e. maybe white is more effective at training and purple is better for increasing your qualifier lap).


title: What should I have if I've done everything?

text: I'm closing in on the end of Skyward Sword, it seems, and I'm wondering how I'll know that I've found everything. If I've found everything unique or of limited quantity in the game, performed every sidequest and mastered every minigame, what should I have on my subscreen and in my Item Store? (I don't care so much about rupees and crafting material in Surface chests and as rewards for minigames, as they occur elsewhere.)

title: How do I get past the spinning blades of death in Raldbthar?

text: As part of the quest "Mourning Never Comes", I'm tasked with dealing with a problem in Raldbthar. Once I completed my objective, I noticed the dungeon continues further along. I've gotten pretty far, but now I've come to a ramp that goes upwards and has two spinning blades of death on it: if I even so much as graze them, I die instantly. Now, I know the rest of the dungeon is for a later main quest, "Discerning the Transmundane". But I was interested to see if I can just press on anyway, like I can do with other quest dungeons. I looked around online and in the official strategy guide, and the very "helpful" advice I've found is "avoid the blades because they'll kill you." Is that it? Are the blades supposed to be a source of tedium, or is there a trick to getting around them (like, perhaps, a hidden lever to turn them off)? Or are they there to prevent me from continuing further until I have the appropriate quest?


title: Jungle Temple percentage

title: What makes an AD Caster?

text: So, recently I tried Wu Kong out in an AD-Caster-type playstyle, but it didn't really work. So I began to think, what actually makes a champion viable for playing the role of an AD Caster? How should I be playing an AD Caster? What stats should I be looking to build?


title: Boost Items in Game Dev Story

text: I've been playing Game Dev Story a bit lately, and have gotten to the point where I own all the boost items, have a fair bit of tech, and are consistently selling really well with my games - though I haven't yet gotten a GOTY award. My theory is that if I want that award, I need to pump up the stats of the game during development (makes sense). It stands to reason that the Boost Items help with this. However, I am a little confused as to who I should select to use the Boost items, when to use them, and how often I should. Can anyone help me here? :P


title: Can you attack Time Eater as Classic Super Sonic?

text: It seems that I can only get close to and attack Time Eater as Modern Super Sonic. No matter how long I spend boosting as Classic Super Sonic, I can never seem to catch up with Time Eater. I can dodge all of the boss's counter- attacks, but that doesn't get Classic Super Sonic any closer for a hit. Sonic's friends tell me that I can switch between the two Sonics in my pursuit, but while I'm playing as classic, they say to switch to modern _in order to go after Eggman to attack_. Is attacking the boss only possible with Modern Super Sonic, and not Classic Super Sonic? Or is it possible to get close enough for a hit with either one? > The final blow does not count, as you have to combine the powers of _both > Sonics_ to blast through the fireball attack. **Research**   * This guide suggests that it's possible, "but it's extremely difficult." Not _remarkably_ helpful, but still gets me thinking...


title: How can I spot vehicles when flying a jet?

text: For some reason I can't seem to be able to spot other vehicles when flying a jet. I've assigned the "spot / communications" key to a joystick button, keep flying directly at vehicles and hit that button, but nothing happens. If I keep the button pressed, I see the com menu, so it must be assigned correctly. I should probably also note that I am playing in Hardcore mode. Is this a known limitation (perhaps with the new BF3 patch or on Hardcore servers only), or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Adrian

title: Is repeatedly tapping the bush beneficial?

text: In Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery (etc), there are an awful lot of bushes. Everywhere I go, there are bushes that can be tapped. I tip tap on them from time to time, but nothing ever seems to come of it. Most of the other stuff in the game has some sort of interaction tied to it, even if it's just a bit of funny dialog. Is there any benefit to tapping the bushes? Should I repeatedly tap the bush, or is once enough? Is there a specific bush I should be tapping?


title: Can I modify or delete one of my steam friends group tags?

text: In Steam friends, you can organize your friends by "tagging" them (in your friends list, right click someone and select "Tag as"). It's convenient since it allows you to organize your contacts following the games you play together, the moment of the day when they are available, whatever. ![Steam friends group tags](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hZg1S.jpg) But once you have created a tag an assigned it to some of your friends, is it possible to   * modify the tag (rename it) ?   * delete the tag (and, hence, untag all the tagged friends) ?


title: Problems with Minecraft Spawn Trap Up In The Sky

text: So! I've made a giant mob spawner/killer up in the sky (y=220-235) over an ocean. Light level 1 spawn floors, 540 block area, 3 high, periodic water flush that pushes mobs into a pit, where fall damage kills them. Problem is, mobs seems to rarely spawn inside, and endermen just vanish. I know they teleport on contact with water, but shouldn't they appear outside the trap on one of the catwalks? The floor they land on is ~40 blocks lower, and there's nothing else up that high. So my question(s) are, why aren't more monsters spawning? I'll leave it running for half an hour, and there will be 2 spawns. Other times, I'll get 30 kills in 10 minutes. Any idea why? Bonus round: Where the hell are the endermen going? Why do they hate my trap?


title: Is retro Lode Runner available on any modern system?

text: I'd like to play Lode Runner again. How can I do this on a modern system? I'll settle for any reasonable clone, but only if it **does not scroll**. I downloaded the NES version on Wii Virtual Console, and it scrolls! This is not the real Lode Runner. By modern system, I mean PC (including web-based) & the current generation of consoles (Jan 2011).


title: Can you take screenshots of XBox 360 games?

text: The question's probably enough -- but can you take (in-software/hardware) screen shots of arbitrary XBox 360 games, and if so, how? Also, if you can, how would you get the image off the 360 and onto, say, your computer? (Currently, I resorted to snapping an actual -- bad -- photograph of my TV screen.)


title: Do I need to constantly wear the Blue Seal?

text: I joined the "Way of the Blue" covenant and my understanding is that I need to wear the "Blue seal" I received in order to get help if invaded. What I'd like to know is: do I have to wear it **before** the invasion starts or it will work even if I wear it when the enemy is already in my world?


title: Why is my server's memory usage so high with just 5 players online?

text: I recently started a vanilla Linux Minecraft server (v1.7.2) and have been having trouble with high RAM usage causing the server to disconnect. I have allocated a maximum of 3.5GB. I restarted the server an hour ago and have been monitoring it. I noticed that when players disconnect the memory usage doesn't reduce and as more players join the memory usage just increases.   * With 5 players logged in, the RAM usage is at 63% (2.1GB).    * With just 3 players on the server, memory usage is 58.9% I also get this error when starting the server: > your platform for not provide complete low-level api for accessing direct > buffers reliably. Unless explicitly requested heap buffer well always be > preferred to avoid potential system instability The command I am using to start the server is: `Java -Xms512M -X3584M -jar minecraft_server.jar` What could be causing the high memory usage and why doesn't it reduce when the player count reduces?


title: Why are the higher level elemental spells in Final Fantasy named Fira, Firaga, etc

text: In some English versions of Final Fantasy elemental spells are named Fire, Fire2, Fire3 while in others they're named Fire, Fira, Firaga (or Thunder, Thundra, Thundaga). At first I thought it was due to bad English translation, but the English translation is flawless. What does "Firaga" stands for?

text: I am in the first town, most people seem to like me, but this one lady called Teleri Helvi I failed too much on admire/intimidate. She's following me around town, punching me. If I kill her, I go to jail. If I go rest she's waiting outside. What can I do? I thought if someone hits me first I'm allowed to attack back?


title: I'm drifting and I don't know why

text: As a longtime Mario Kart Wii player, I always used Automatic drift mode so I could concentrate on the higher-level details of what I was doing rather than how I was doing it. (That's how I rationalised it, anyway.) Mario Kart 8 doesn't have an Automatic mode, forcing me to take a (ahem) _crash_ -course in drifting. Anyway, while I was figuring this out, my bike would occasionally drift, sometimes long enough to Mini-Turbo, **all by itself**. I'm not kidding - I'd turn the GamePad left (albeit _hard_ left) and the bike would inexplicably drift. (My younger brother, who had drifting worked out before I did, didn't believe me until it happened to him on the same bike.) So far I've reproduced this behaviour on three bikes (two drifting inward, one outward), two karts, and a quad, which leads me to suspect it's universal. So here I was thinking `ZR` was required to drift, and then the thing occasionally does it itself - anyone know what's going on? I've read the entire electronic manual (yeah, I'm one of _those_ people), but still cannot find any mention of this.


title: What happens if I take Clementine with me to Crowford?

text: This contains episode 4 spoilers. I chose to leave Clementine in the house instead of taking her with me. Upon coming back, a walker tried to go into the house, but Clementine killed it with a gun I left her.   Omid was sleeping upstairs. If I had taken her with me, would the walker have killed Omid? Would she have been ok with the trip? It was really dangerous, but I assume she couldn't die as she is important for episode 5 at least. What if I left her in the house but didn't give her a gun? Does Omid die?


title: How do I find the Arch-mage at the end of the quest "Under Sarhaal"?

text: I've finished the `Under Sarhaal` quest on the PS3, and by finished I mean I'm on the last step: Talk to the Arch-mage I have scoured the College, and even gone into the `Midden Dark` (and out the other side, there's a great shipwreck out there), and I still can't find the arch-mage. The 'arrow' seems to indicate he's somewhere in the vertical structure around his quarters, but I can't find him there. I've tried to wait until the middle of the night to see if he comes to bed, but this guy never sleeps. Where is the Arch-mage?


title: How can I remove dragon priest masks from a follower's inventory?

text: I was moving my house in Skyrim had my follower (Vilkas) pick up my things so I could fast travel. At the new house I attempted to take them back, but it refused to allow me to take any of the dragon priest masks from his inventory. I was forced to kill him to reclaim them. Is there another way to get the masks back that doesnt result in his death? Is this a problem for all followers? I play on a console, so system commands are not helpful.


title: What do Might and Magic: Heroes 6 Classes do for your hero?

text: What do the classes do for your hero? (e.g. Ebon Knight, Cleric, Necromancer) The Hall of Heroes also says that it lets my hero change classes. I'd thought that it was related to the specialization but some heroes have the same classes but different specializations.


title: Can torches cause fire?

text: I was just about to dig myself a new basement to my wooden-home, when I suddenly figured that the ceiling was on fire (long story short, not even the cockroaches survived). The only thing I did was to place a torch underneath a wooden block, as I've done many times before without so devastating effects. So I wonder, can torches ignite fires? If yes, always or only under certain conditions?


title: Does cannibalism count as food?

text: I'm going for the Desert Survivalist achievement, and throughout my Fallout experiences, I've never taken the Cannibalism perk. I'm thinking that, since I'm playing a very evil character this time, I might take Cannibalism at some point. If I do, does engaging in cannibalism count as food? And what of the Ghastly Scavenger perk? Does feasting on ghouls and super mutants count as food? (Wow, this sounds sick as I read it ... )


title: Do defensive weapon strap-ons only take effect depending on which weapon (melee/ranged) I'm holding?

text: For example, I have a melee weapon with the 'Iron Crossguard' defensive strap- on (deflect 15% more damage when you block): !['Iron Crossguard' defensive strap-on \(deflect 15% more damage when you block\)](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3rCas.png) And in combat, I attacked with my ranged weapon, so I'm now holding my ranged weapon. If I get attacked while holding the ranged weapon, will I still deflect 15% more damage when I block?


title: What is the least damaging creature in Skyrim?

text: So there are a number of exploits that require an enemy nearby, but for the case of armor or blocking skills you need to be getting hit. So I was curious. Of all the creatures in Skyrim, that will attack you, what does the lease damage? Per hit or Per minute. I'm not interested in any solutions that require the use of the console or mods.


title: How do I "free look" in jets and helicopters?

text: I saw a video on Youtube (not sure if it's OK to link it since it has NSFW language) of a player who was able to look around while in a jet using cockpit view. What key/button do you use to do this? I'm personally interested in how to do this for Xbox 360, but it might be useful for others if anyone knows the answer for PS3 and PC as well.


title: How can I effectively defeat the Wall of Flesh?

text: I've been having trouble defeating this little bugger. EVen with lots of buff potions, health potions, high tier armor (Molten), and ranged weapons with plenty of ammo (Minishark), I can't seem to kill this. Worse, when I get it down to about 2000 hp, even if I'm farily far away, it'll suck me in and continually rise towards the skybox, which doesn't allow me to do anything for some reason.


title: What can I do after getting stocked on hellstone?

text: I started playing Terraria just a month ago and I'm confused. I have full hellstone armor, all helstone gear, cobalt shield, armored starband, jagged regeneration ring, rocket boots and defense 4 boots (don't know what they're called, they make you run really fast). I died twice facing the Wall of Flesh. What do I do? I'm stuck. I have a space gun, star fury sword, and deadly musket, flintlock pistol, grappling hook, keen vilethorn and lastly magic mirror.

Is there an optimal opening production order? Specifically, I am looking for the first 3 things to produce in a standard game. I have seen neither a definitive guide nor a consensus about what should be the very first things to build.

text: I've noticed that sometimes after I jump of a ramp or leap from the top of a steep hill I'll catch a bit of air and float a bit rather than dropping like a rock towards the hill below me. Is there something I'm doing that is helping me make a longer jump or is it random? Can I do something similar with penguin skis, yetis and snowmobiles?


title: Is there ever a case in which an item not useful for research is useful for anything but selling?

text: I've noticed several items which are marked as useless for research. Should I just sell these right away, or is there ever a case in which one of them might be useful? Items include broken flight computers, alien food, entertainment, stasis pods, etc.


title: Are there certain items that you should always sell?

title: How can I use the chat bot in Scrolls?

text: There is a chat bot in Scrolls called `scrollbot` that is used to monitor user ranking and can be queried to provide both personal and other player information. I have found mention of the bot in reference material and you can also see the bot user ID in the `General-1` chat room of the game. However, I can not figure out how to query it. Has anyone found a `scrollbot` cheat sheet or know how to query it for personal details? Bonus points if you know anything about the `modbot` that also appears to be in `General-1`.

title: Do elevators ever reset in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood?

title: When is it worth it to get Will of the Ancients on other champions to help out the AP carry?

text: I have tried WotA on Amumu in the jungle, since it seems to work relatively well with his kit, and can help out some AP carries a fair amount, so I've found it's worth getting. But for other champions, I'm not sure. For instance, when playing Janna or Soraka, who benefit somewhat from AP, what makes getting WotA to help your AP carry out from the aura? Is there a way to measure the effectiveness of WotA for them, and under what conditions make it good to sacrifice the items you would normally build in order to buy WotA?


title: If your mothership is being controlled by neural parasite, can you build another?

title: What are the exact strengths and weaknesses of each TF2 class?

text: I know that everyone class in Team Fortress 2 has a strength and weakness but I could not find a list on the internet at all. I know that by default, there are three sections: offensive, defensive and support. But each character has some unique ability to them. A list of what each of them are good at and bad at will be very helpful. A link to a page would also be much appreciated.


title: If I uninstall my disc copy of Train Simulator 2013, will the activation code still work in Steam when I reinstall it?

title: How do I play the piano in the Steam version of FFVII?

text: I'm playing through the piano in the steam version of FFVII and I'm in the Nibelheim flashback right after you leave Midgar. Cloud enters the mansion and finds a piano; it seems pretty obvious that I'm supposed to play the song I found on the piano in Tifa's house a little while back. However, when I hit 'insert' [SWITCH] for Re the screen flashes and I get a shrill noise, rather then a piano note. I tried remapping [SWITCH] to `G` but it does the same thing. Without too many spoilers (I know far too many of them already, since this is such an old game) is playing the piano important, and is getting this odd noise normal when I hit [SWITCH]/Re Edit: I'm trying to play the song, but nothing seems to happen when I finish it. Should I even be playing the song here? Edit 2: The key works fine, as the note that is [SWITCH] + [Page Down] works fine.


title: Is there a way to reverse looking up and down?

text: Hopefully self-explanatory, but I would find it much more natural to use right stick up to look down and right stick down to look up. Is there a way to achieve this in Skyrim on PS3? I couldn't see anything obvious in the controls settings.

title: Making monster mobs more interesting in creative mode

text: I have Minecraft, and tend to play in survival mode. My children like creative mode. As well as buildings and rollercoasters, they have started to be interested in creatures, and recently switched monsters on, treating them as "pets". I have helped them create "monster zoos" using spawn blocks etc. The monster behaviour in creative mode is somewhat boring though. The children don't really want to fight the monsters, but might be entertained if they fought each other, or acted with some simple purpose. Even sheep tending to climb up are more entertaining than zombies on creative mode. Are there ways to get a more interesting or entertaining behaviours out of the Minecraft monsters, when in creative mode? * * * Examples of things mobs do or have done that my children have found interesting:   * Witches taking potions when hurt   * Monsters getting into minecarts and riding rollercoasters   * Iron golems protecting villagers, and giving them flowers   * A "baby crowding waterfall" that happened to a mooshroom where they made it spawn around 100 babies, which then pushed it around (and mostly downhill) as the ones at the back tried to get closer.

title: Skyrim crashes my system when I open map

text: I came upon a very frustrating problem while trying to play Skyrim. Similar problems were discussed quite a lot (157 forum pages!), but I don't seem to find any solution to this. **Problem itself:** When I open world map in Skyrim with `M` key my system crashes almost instantly. Video card stops working ("No signal" on monitor), after that sound freezes and loops. Only hard reset works to recover my system, so the OS must have crashed too (but I am not able to check BSOD due to video not working) Crash with exactly same symptoms happened when I was trying to play Red Faction: Armageddon. Had no problems until the scene where you have to protect a convoy in a battlesuit on some flying platform. System crashed every time during that scene, wasn't able to proceed. **System details:**   * Windows 7 x64   * Core i5 @3.4 GGhz   * 16 Gb DDR3   * Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti   * Skyrim with all 3 DLCs, Legendary Edition, Steam I am pretty sure that my hardware is fine since I played a lot of demanding games and had this kind of problem with only 2 of them in a very specific circumstances. Even Skyrim runs fine for hours unless I open the map. I blame the interaction between application and video driver. _Crash is not random, it happens after specific actions._ Also not the application crashes but all system. **More info:**   * I am using Unofficial Skyrim Patch mods from Nexus   * I am using SKSE and ENB   * I am using a lot of other mods   * Disabling all mods listed above does not solve this problem   * I have no "bloodSplatter" setting in my config   * My system is not overheating, both CPU and GPU.   * Video drivers are most recent, however I tried older(332 and 314) versions without success. Can someone please suggest anything how to solve this? Seen a lot of threads all over the internet but no actual solutions.

title: What happens to dwarves with infections?

text: My military dwarves sallied out to fight a goblin ambush group that was attacking my woodcutter, and they were ambushed by another group. They killed a few and scared the others off. While pursuing the cowards they were ambushed by a third group. After a fierce battle, I had to send a lot of soldiers to the hospital. Luckily no one died. My doctors took care of the wounded and got them all fixed up. Well, almost. Some of them got out of the hospital with an infection. They're back on their training schedule, and seem perfectly fine, except for the mention of an infection in the health screen. Will their condition deteriorate sometime later and get them back to the hospital? Or perhaps to the morgue? If so, what can I do to treat the infections?


title: How do I change the video settings from outside Starcraft 2?

text: In switching from residence life to house life for a brief vacation, I've been forced to downgrade from my 1920x1080 resolution-supporting monitor to a 1024x800 monitor, although I brought my computer along with me. I forgot to change the settings on my games to a lower resolution before heading out, and now whenever I try to open Starcraft 2, my screen goes black and I'm told that my monitor doesn't support the resolution. Is there any way I can change the video settings outside of the game so I can resume playing Starcraft 2? If not, is there any way I can bypass this Black Screen Monitor Resolution Error Thing(TM) to play the game?

title: What do these strange parts mean?

text: As you guys might know, there are things in TF2 called strange parts, add-ons to your weapons that count specific things. For example, the amount of damage you have dealt, number of allies you have extinguished, etc. **However, I have some queries regarding how certain strange parts mean and how they count kills. Here they are:**   * **Strange Part: Freezecam Taunt Appearances** Does this strange part only count your victim's killcam? Or does it include your taunt apperances in other people kill cam?   * **Strange Part: Full Moon Kills** What does Valve mean by 'Full Moon Kills'? Kills during Halloween? Or on certain maps where there is a full moon?   * **Strange Part: Airborne Enemies Killed** Does 'Airborne Enemies' include enemies that are jumping? For example, scouts that are high up in mid-air or just random enemies that jumped when you killed them.   * **Strange Part: Point-Blank Kills** How close is 'point-blank' close?   * **Strange Part: Allied Healing Done** How about health you have restored with a health pack that you picked up, does that count? Or dropping a sandvich. Does healing yourself count as 'allied health'?

title: Run old games on screen that does not support lower resolutions

text: How can I run old games that insist on a lower resolution (say, 640x480 or 800x600) when my display refuses to run at those resolutions? Most such games will run windowed, with works, but is a bit of a shame. It would be nifty to get it scaled up to full screen, with columnboxing if necessary. More seriously, some games simply refuse to cope. Sam & Max Season 1 will run windowed, but wedges when I try to open the options. So because it doesn't like my display, I can't change the audio mix. My searches so far have only turned up GameCompanion. It's not clear that it will work, and the unusual distribution channels (Bethesda RPG mod sites and Facebook) make me a big uncomfortable. Edited to add: I have an Nvidia card, and it turns out that it will let my add "custom" resolutions. 800x600 worked, 640x480 didn't. It's documented here, but the current interface looks different: http://www.nvidia.com/object/custom_resolutions.html Unfortunately this isn't a general solution; it didn't work for 640x480, and I don't know if it works for other video cards.

title: How are people playing betas before they come out?

text: Last night I noticed I had a friend playing the Gears of War 3 Beta and was playing team death match (I don't know where he came from just a random off of Xbox live). I messaged him over and over again trying to find out how this was possible but he never responded. I searched online for a good 45 minutes and NOTHING just that the beta starts the 18th for Bulletstorm Epic edition owners and the 25th for the rest of us. I honestly gave up and just figured maybe he knows someone important or something. However today one of my personal friends said he saw a person online playing it as well. He investigated further and determined there is 90MB update when you log into bulletstorm and now the Gears of War 3 beta icon is lit up. However when he tries to launch it he receives a message that it won't be available until the 18th. I understand that officially it won't be available until the 18th but I still want to know how this is possible. Did they hack it? are we both crazy? I guess it's also possible we both know people that work at Epic? How is it possible for people to play betas before they come out? I have seen people playing full games before they release due to them working in retail ect.. but what about betas?


title: where is the save file located?

text: Question is about KOPP +1 Edition, not KOPP. Where are the save files located? -- this one didn't help. I bought KOPP+1 for my Android 2.3 device. Played it for a bit, made 3 save files. I just upgraded to an Android 4.2.2 device. I moved KOPP+1 over to the SD card and put the SD card in the new phone. When I open KOPP it can't find the save games. I've searched for files using the file browser named "knights" and not found any files. But searching for "seesmic" did find files, so I know that's working.

title: Which achievements can be permanently lost in Skyrim?

text: My goal is to get all the Skyrim achievements with a single character. I got many of them already by simply playing along and completing certain quest lines. I discovered today that it is possible to take some perfectly normal actions that will stop you from completing an achievement. In my case it is missing a daedric artifact that cannot be recovered (although there might be a workaround as long as only one is lost - see answers in the linked question). Now I want to know if there are other "fragile" achievements like that. I am not talking about blindly killing important NPCs or other obvious stupid actions. I am interested in quest items that are easily missed or decisions you can make that will mess up an achievement. I read about all the possible troubles with Oblivion Walker, please focus on the other achievements instead. Where can I easily go wrong so that I have to play the game again from the start with a new character or load an old savegame before my blunder?

title: Should I use a 1H or a 2H as a battle mage?

text: I really love the idea of a warrior charging into battle with the powers of destructive magic as his ally. Being brand new to Skyrim, I did some reading on the topic but haven't been able to find the answer to my question: Should I go 1H with a spell at the ready, or 2H and switch to dual-handed magical destruction as needed?


title: How do I win against a Zerg on many bases as Protoss?

text: I started thinking after seeing this question, that most strategies involve aggression and better macro (true for any combination I suppose), but how do you come back if you are behind? What if it has reached mid-game and you are 3 bases behind the Zerg player?


title: Good class and profession combinations for leveling with a friend in WoW?

text: this is kind of a follow up to my recent question regarding WoW and leveling (here). My friend decided to try WoW and i would like to play with him from level 1 to 85 with a brand new character. I would like to know what are some good choices of class **and** professions in a 2-man party, so that there is perfect synergy between us? We are on a PvE server and are mainly focused on PvE, so you can disregard anything thats related to PvP (Arenas etc.). One thing to consider is that my friend strongly favors playing as a hunter (he looked through the classes available in WoW and immediatelly fell in love with this one). However I can probably persuade him to play something else. As a side note, i was thinking of a Druid+Hunter combo, where Hunter would go for Skin/LW and Druid for Herb/Alch. Both can benefit from Alch (elixirs etc.) and both wear leather (+mail for the hunter). Any other ideas, suggestions?


title: Which game type earns the most XP in COD Ghosts?

text: I'm trying to level up my character in COD: Ghosts multiplayer. I noticed that in some game types I get good XP in a short time while other games give less even though the games last longer. Which game type (e.g. Team Deathmatch, Domination, etc) gives the most XP in least amount of time?

title: Unable to get Realm of the Mad God to start

text: I have installed the desktop client for Realm of the Mad God from Steam and upon starting the game, I get the grey "loading..." bar for a prolonged period of time and then a message box with a white button but no message text or text on the button. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6Banr.png) What is going on and how can I fix this?


title: Best weapon to destroy enemy aircraft in COD: Ghosts?

text: I haven't found a lock-on launcher in COD: Ghosts multiplayer. What is the best weapon for taking out an enemy killstreak aircraft, e.g. helicopter?


title: Will dragons only attack the location of the player?

text: I mean without the use of modding or the console command, as I'm playing on my PlayStation 3. I ask this because I would love to see the Whiterun guards really wailing on the dragon along with my help. just think it would be epic seeing a mass of whiterun guards firing at it in a combined effort. If you know for certain, that would be really helpful c: Thanks!


title: How to give money to another player?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to donate gold in Diablo 3? I never found the button to do this. For example, I can drop a set of armor for my friends to pickup, but I cant do the same thing with money. Could be useful when my friend is 2GP away to create a good equipement.
