title: My wife tried to kill me! What did I do wrong?

text: I got married and during the ceremony it felt like my wife just kinda walked out in the middle of the whole deal right after saying "I do". I talked to my (RL) dad and he told me that she walks home to her house after this and you just have to wait it out and meet her there. I spent the next couple of RL days periodically stopping by the house, and no one was ever there. Eventually I picked up a new female companion to go fight with me. Later, a quest led me back to go rough up the priest who married us, and when I walked in there door, there was my wife, super pissed and ready to rock. I tried to run, but she kept following me and I was like, no baby, I need to rough up the priest, you hold tight... but nah, she wasn't having any of it. Naturally I took this opportunity to test out the new level 100 destro spell I had just earned. Destro 1, wife 0. A lot of things happened since we got married and I suppose it was our lack of communication that played a big role, but since she's dead now, does anyone have any insight why we were unable to reconcile? I would like to avoid the same end in my future relationships. * * * EDIT: per the comments and the first answer, my wife was the lady you have to fight in the Inn on the far side of the market in white run. Uthgerd (spelling?) or something like that. In hindsight, it's obvious that marriage would end in domestic violence, but I'm still curious what set her off.


title: How can I access the Nether on the Xbox 360 Minecraft on a superflat world?

text: Is it possible to access the Nether on a superflat world on the Xbox 360 edition of Minecraft? I have enabled the "structures" option but this only seems to generate buildings with at best a crafting table, I haven't seen any bonus chests or "blacksmith" houses. Is it just not possible on the Xbox 360 edition?

title: Are there any downsides to killing thieves?

text: Since I began working for the Thieves' Guild, I've noticed the unnamed thief NPCs that show up in towns every so often to cause a bit of mischief. Unfortunately for them, they aren't very adept, and tend to die rather quickly to the town guards' arrows - I don't really mind this, as they often carry shiny things that aren't marked as stolen and no one minds me taking them. If I were to hasten their demise by accidentally brutally stabbing them to death, would anyone mind? Will the Guild make any reprisals? Is it better to just wait for them to blunder into a guard?


title: What items are worth picking up?

text: Having grown up in a currency economy, I am not so familiar with evaluating barter economies. I notice that when I pick up only blue items to avoid running out of town portal scrolls, I tend to run out of scrolls of wisdom quickly if I try to identify all my items. I have two questions:   1. Is there an "optimal" mix of items to pick up?   2. Is it worth identifying enchanted items that I'm sure my character won't wear?

title: Guide to Alert Pings?

text: I just started playing League of Legends, and my friends who have more experience often play with me. They keep telling me to ping, and I have seen the "Fall back" or "On my way" pings and know a little about the G hotkey for pinging, but I can't find a definitive guide on how or when to ping. Google searches yield few tutorials about pinging/alerts, since it seems like people assume that everyone knows how to ping (and partially since ping is typically not used in this definition and I can't figure out what else to call it). So, my questions are: 1) How do you make different alert pings, and 2) When should I ping in a match?


title: In what order should hard mode bosses be fought?

text: Now that I'm in hard mode, I'm wondering which boss to try and tackle first. In pre-hard mode, I fought the bosses in this order:   1. Eye of Cthulhu   2. Eater of Worlds / Brain of Cthulhu   3. Skeletron   4. Wall of Flesh I have a full set of Palladium armor, and a Night's Edge as my primary weapon. However, I was recently destroyed by The Twins after they spawned randomly (a simultaneous Blood Moon event didn't help). Is there a boss I should be focusing my efforts on first? Are the strategies for fighting bosses much different than in pre-hard mode?


title: Where can I find a list of buff and debuff IDs?

text: I'm setting up the Need To Know addon and want to track the duration of the Hemorrhage debuff on my current target. Since the ability applies multiple debuffs with the name "Hemorrhage", I need to specify the specific debuff I want to track by ID instead of name. I can't seem to find a list of buff/debuff IDs anywhere on the web, though. Help me Gaming, you're my only hope!


title: Run MineOS from USB Stick

text: I'm using a mac and I'm making a virtual machine (MineOS) with VirtualBox. If I were to run the virtual machine (and it's resources, including the virtual hard disk) from the usb drive, would it wear out very quickly from read/writes? I'm not sure how much read/writing it will receive but I wouldn't want to run it off the USB for a day and find out the next morning that it's totally dead.

title: New PS3 controller won't sync with PS3

text: I bought a new six-axis controller for my best friend, and I did a custom paint job on it. I had to take it apart, but after I put everything back together (right), it just blinks the red lights when it is plugged into the PS3 via USB. Even when I press the PS button it still just blinks for a while. I've also tried to reset it by pressing the reset button on the controller, turning on the PS3, plugging in the USB, and pressing the PS button, but still nothing happens. I am very certain I didn't harm anything inside the controller when I disassembled it. I have a PS3 Slim if that is any help. Any idea what could be wrong and what I should do to fix it?

Usually a message comes up and says that it "quit after 4 tries" or "server not responding". I know the server is responding, though, because the person running it and anyone on the same LAN connection can run it fine. I have tried using several other computers, maps, and ways to connect to the server, but nothing seems to work. What is the problem and how can I fix it?

title: My companion won't give me my items back in Skyrim

However, when I try to retrieve certain armor from Lydia that she is NOT wearing and was not hers originally, the game says "can't take teammates' starting armor".

I'm having trouble figuring out what might be the downside of using the largest possible map. So, what is the price of getting all the extra space and resources? Do the larger borders cause more goblins/fun to spawn? Conversely, is there a good reason to use a smaller site?

When does it show up?

title: Controls locking up while in space

text: I am trying to launch a space probe which involves quite long periods of waiting at times to be able to raise apoapsis maximally. Sometimes during these waits when I try to start up engines again (or do anything really) I can't get it to work. Nothing happens. I can't toggle RCS or SAS, I can't change throttle or extend solar panels. How can I get out of this frozen state and why does it happen? Is the distance from Kerbal to great and no signals can reach the probe?

title: Problem with Icewind Dale Gold mirrored sprites

text: I am currently playing Icewind Dale Gold, an outstanding D&D based dungeon crawler. It works with almost no problems on my Pentium 4 2.93GHz Prescott, 1.5GB RAM DDR2 and Radeon HD4650 1GB PciE, running Windows XP SP3 and DirectX 9.0c. However, there is only one minor issue that I was not able to fix no matter what - it is the Mirrored Sprites option, accessible from games setup, under Graphics tab. Basically, it makes characters' sprites animation being mirrored, i.e. when character is facing right and hold his shield in his right hands, then after turning and facing left the shield is immediately swapped to his left hand, being a mirror reflection of his previous stance. In the old days it allowed to save some memory and increase game performance. Nowadays I am not able to turn this option off - it is always active. I noticed this happens in almost every game based on Infinity engine I tried in the past years (Icewind Dale 2, Baldur's Gate Gold). I also used different hardware specs (Radeon 9550 AGP, Pentium 4 2GHz Northwood, Celeron D 3.2GHz, Athlon 2400XP+, DualCore E5200), with no results. Do you by any chance know if it is a known bug and is there is any solution for this? Just note I use localized, Polish versions of these games - could this problem be version-specific? Thank you in advance.

title: Where do I find supplies in DayZ?

text: I've managed to install the ARMA2/CO mod DayZ and play around in it but I'm always dead in a matter of minutes because I run into some zombies without anything to defend myself with. The official beginners guide explains the controls thoroughly, but it doesn't explain much about how I should start playing the game without getting killed. Supplies seem to be a bit of a catch-22 in DayZ. I've heard that I should stay away from buildings and roads because those are frequent zombie locations (I've experienced it too, it's the truth) but I've also read that supplies are found there. What are some tactics for finding supplies without running into zombies?

title: Is there a way to "teleport" in the iPhone version of Secret of Mana?

text: In the original SNES version of Secret of Mana, there was a really neat trick which allowed you to teleport your party to _almost any_ other location in the game. By saving your gave in a _very specific_ spot on the world map, switching to a different game (even a new game), getting to the location you wanted to teleport to, doing an in-game reset, and loading the original game, you would find your characters from the first game file at the location your second game was at when you performed the in-game reset. I just tried on the iPhone version of Secret of Mana and this is not possible, because the island you have to land on to perform this trick has changed. It's shape is different and you can no longer land on it! **SNES Version screen capture:** ![Screencap of island to land on](http://josh.gitlin.name/images/som_manasword_island.png) **IPhone version screen capture:** ![Island is a different shape!](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7e1FX.png) ![And you can't land on it!](http://i.stack.imgur.com/FMW16.png) **Is there a way to perform this teleport trick on the iPhone version of Secret of Mana?**

text: I'm primarily playing single player, and I've noticed that at the very end of Act I/beginning of Acti II the amount of damage that I'm taking from enemies has dramatically spiked.

My Templar doesn't seem to be able to hold their attention, either. I am using my armor spells, I have Blur equipped, and I've been upgrading my defensive equipment regularly. Are Wizards just that squishy in this game, or are there any other steps I can take to mitigate the damage? Do I just need to grind out some levels (I'm 17 at the very beginning of Act II)?

title: Should I distribute my skill point immediately or wait?

text: When you gain a level, you gain a point you can spend on a skill, either a new one or ranking up an existing one. However most of the skills and skill ranks have level requirements that immediately outpace your skill point gains (e.g. the ranks may require levels 3, 8, 14, 20). Since there are more levels than possible skill purchases, it seems like it is optimal to wait until I reach e.g. level 20 and buy all four ranks at once, rather than spending the points immediately on skills I don't really care about. Is this the case? Or did the designers actually maybe play _Diablo II_ and realize how stupid it is?

text: I'm playing **The Secret World** along with a bunch of folks from a community of which I'm a member. We haven't bothered to form a Cabal because we have people playing as part of all three Societies, and because historically, we've tended to use chat channels in most games whenever available. **TSW** supports custom channels, and we have one and it's great, except for one little problem. Every time I log in, I need to rejoin the channel. Is there any way to make this a persistent preference so that I don't need to type `/chat join #SeekritClubhouse Password` every time I log in? Because that would be awesome and make my life so much easier.


title: How do I make a BAIN conversion file?

I use Wrye Bash to handle module installation, and also I found a lot BAIN conversion files that transform a mod into format that WB recognizes. The problem is: some BCFs were made for an older version of mod, and they do not work. Is there any manual for creating BCFs?

title: Does Spell Vamp affect magic damage procs from items?

text: I've been pondering how best to build Ezreal in the new Dominion mode, and it's gotten me wondering: Are Magic Damage procs, like from Wit's End and Madred's / Kitae's Bloodrazor affected by the aggressing champion's spellvamp? I know they don't get counted as part of the base damage of the attack, i.e., a separate damage number appears, and proc-boosted attacks don't generate more lifesteal than expected, but are they considered for spell vamp at all? I know, for a time, the Wriggle's Lantern, 500 damage vs. minions proc, triggered lifesteal (which, given that it was 500 bonus damage, was quite noticable) but that has been patched out.


title: Xbox 360 Wireless Remote batteries - aftermarket or official Microsoft ones?

text: I have used a mix between the actual rechargeable battery back, and the 'psyclone gaming' batteries (usually found at Target or Best Buy in the US). I am starting to get annoyed, because the Microsoft batteries and chargers I think use a special 'chip' in them, and therefore the charging station can't charge the off brand batteries. To make matters worse, the charger I have for the off brand batteries has failed as well. I want to know if the Microsoft batteries are worth the premium in cost, or if I am missing something. Also, where is the best place to get batteries?

I like the idea of having some kind of common room, but it's difficult to gather folks there if they're afraid of stairs. Is there some way to get NPCs to travel up or down? (I'd prefer to avoid a sprawling, village-type layout.) _**Update:** Success! Based on Raven Dreamer's answer, I tried putting a single wood platform to split the difference between floors.

title: Minecraft server login issues

text: So just 30 minutes ago, I wanted had to leave one of my servers, and re-join it due to odd lag issues. However, upon re-logging into the server, the message **"Failed to login: The authentication are currently down for maintenance"** popped up. I tried and tried to join the server but the message just kept repeating. Everything was fine before I left the server. I assume that the message meant that the Login problem came from Mojang's end. Therefore, in an attempt to test the authenticity of my assumption, I tried to join several other larger servers. However, the message just continued to appear and the problem persisted. nest, I went to check on Mojang's services to find out what exactly was going on. Thus, I went to this website to check if Minecraft's services were truly down. I then came face to face with this: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Nh8ZR.png). I then went to the Minecraft Forums to find out the source of the problem, however, all I got were a bunch of methods to solve the problem. I attempted all of them but to no avail. Therefore, I am assuming that Minecraft services are truly down and I would now like to know several things: **Firstly, do you guys have the same problems in the servers you join?** **Secondly, when you go tothis website, do you receive the same screen as I do?** **Lastly, are there any methods to fix this problem?** I would also like to confirm that I am running on the latest version of Minecraft. (1.7.9) and the server that I attempted to join is also updated to 1.7.9.

title: Is there any advantage to talking to random townspeople?

text: Back in the olden days of RPGs like Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy, you didn't have quest arrows showing you exactly where you needed to go. If it was your first playthrough and you didn't have Nintendo Power, talking to all the townspeople you encountered for clues was absolutely crucial if you wanted to advance further in the game. In Torchlight 1 and 2, the quest arrow shows the way and it seems that the townspeople in the game offer fairly pointless dialog. Do any of the townspeople in the game offer any useful advice or clue you in to areas of the game that aren't already marked by a shiny, flashy beacon?

title: How does attack speed affect Entropy's true damage active?

How is the damage distributed over time? 16 damage every .5 sec? 40 damage every 1.25 sec? More importantly, does it stack? Lets say I'm Yi and have an attack speed of 2.0 attacks per second. Will I get 800 true damage (from 10 attacks, stacking), 224 damage (16 true damage from the first tick of the dot for each of the first 9 attacks, plus 80 for the final attack), or something in the middle?

There are two trucks on the line, the frequency is given at "5 minutes", but it takes the truck a few game months to actually go from start to end. There seem to be three different time scales involved (The truck line does not seem long enough to warrant a few months travel time at 15 km/h). How do they relate to each other?

title: Does soul collection conflict with item collection?

text: I was farming in The King's Passage using the Jester's Hat and the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring +1, but at the same time I had the Jester's Gloves and the Covetous Silver Serpent's Ring +2 on as well to boost my soul collection. I was also consuming Rusted Coins with every run to help boost the item find rate. After all 7 runs (the enemies had stopped spawning) all I had found was one Stone Parma and a set of Llewelyn Leggings. That's pretty terrible considering the last few times I ran through there I managed to get at least 4 shields, 2 armour sets, 2 stone twin blades and 3 titanite slabs. Is it possible that my soul farming gear was interfering with my item farming gear?


title: What's the trick to beating level 4-9 of Escape Goat 2?

text: So I just can't figure out what to do in this level. Here is what I start off with: ![Starting Position](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Kj9i3.jpg) The two buttons in red cause the walls to move inward, resulting in the wheels starting to roll. The buttons in green toggle each other, and cause the circled platform to move. Hitting the left button doesn't seem to do much for me, since the wheel that moves as a result just falls out the bottom of the map. Throwing my mouse up to the ceiling doesn't do anything either. But, by hitting the right button, and then timing it right, I can manage to throw my mouse up onto the right side of the ceiling, allowing it to hit the green button. Unfortunately the platform doesn't have enough time to get low enough for me to jump on it before the wheel hits the second button and the platform starts moving upward again. When my mouse comes back around and hits the button for a second time, there's no way to reverse the platform to head back up, since I can't access the second button. I seem to be missing something obvious here. What is it?

title: Laning against Aatrox

text: So, the other day I found myself in top lane (as Riven) against the newest champion, Aatrox. And much to my annoyance, I lost lane pretty badly, with there being little I could do about it. The first problem is that Aatrox has built in sustain. Even before he gets items, he can heal up easily by just auto attacking minions. Considering he has a ranged slow for harass, this makes trading a joke, as he'll heal up any damage I deal, while I need to burn potions or recall. The second problem is that the lane is nearly unkillable. Sure, I can get in and do some nice damage as Riven, but his jump is very effective at letting him get away, and though I managed to force his passive several times, at that point he's close enough to his tower to escape before I can finish the job. In short, I'm up against a laning opponent that I can't kill and who has better harass and sustain. Is there a reasonable way to actually win this lane on my own, or do I need to farm it out and ask for jungler assistance?

text: So I spec my guardian to precision damage and toughness.

title: Getting Celebi in SSB Melee

text: For the record, yes I can google. Search results all say I need the following before I can see Celebi:   * All characters   * All stages   * All 51 event matches   * Beating Giga Bowser   * Beating Crazy Hand   * Sound Test   * Score Display   * Random stage select (Some of these are redundant, and sometimes Giga Bowser and Crazy Hand are omitted in sources.) I have done all of the above, checking the character screen for characters and the stage select screen for stages, as well as checking the message log to see that I've unlocked all characters and stages. I beat Giga Bowser after completing Adventure Mode on Normal in a speedy enough fashion, and beat Crazy Hand after completing Classic Mode on Normal also quick enough. The former gave me the Giga Bowser trophy but the latter didn't give me anything (so I don't have a Crazy Hand trophy, but sources say to get Celebi one must unlock "everything except trophies"). I did all of the event matches, got the sound test, score display, and random stage select. In an attempt to see Celebi, I've had four computers playing Final Destination with the only item being the PokeBall set to Very High frequency. After observing and keeping track a bit, I estimate very conservatively that I've seen well over 800 PokeBalls opened and still no Celebi. Mathematically, as the chances of seeing Celebi in each PokeBall in a normal Vs. match are 1/251, the chances of _not_ seeing Celebi in 800 PokeBalls is just over 4%. Either I've been pretty unlucky so far or I'm missing something - which is it? P.S. I've never used action replay or any hacking tool, and I'm pretty sure I've never deleted my data (although it has been over 10 years since I've last played, according to the message log, lol). P.P.S. Bonuses count in Vs matches right? So if I see Celebi in a Vs. match (even with all computers playing), it will count towards the Diskun trophy. If I do an unlimited time match and at some later point pause and reset, getting a No Contest screen, will all of the bonuses still count, and would seeing Celebi for the first time still count if it was done in that time period?


title: Dealing with pygmy superpigs in Angry Birds Epic?

text: I have localized version of Angry Birds Epic, so sorry if my names for things don't match, loosely translating. Game says pretty explicitly about finding specific combinations of birds for fights. I got basics worked out more or less (almost always need healer, sometimes heavy hitters work better, don't waste effects on immune enemies, etc), but having a lot of trouble with combination for damn **super overpowered pygmy pigs** (they are clearly pinnacle of pig evolution I've seen so far). As a whole this pig tribe has got following abilities:   * sturdy (easily multiple 500+ HP on screen)   * hard hitting (bunch of them deal damage very fast and boost with pepper)   * get reinforcements (summoners who get in more summoners? yikes)   * larger pigs come in single-target **and** multi-target versions   * got healers that are just ridiculous (restore 150+HP every turn for 3 turns, wat?) I am level 9, coming to "cliffs" area (left of map after sea, then going up), with most recipes from stores bought/crafted and all bird classes so far bought (except one for black bird that just opened up). What had I tried:   * white healer bird is simply a must, using with druid class since first one seemed less efficient at healing   * red bird with samurai defense makes survival easier, but locks it on defense completely, without making any considerable damage   * yellow bird with area poision/heal seems useful against crowds, but it simply doesn't have HP to take a larger pig hit   * black bird seems a little inflexible since it does little, but hit hard   * blue bird with poison/retarget is a monster... however the only reliable dispel is _another_ class of it :( Trying to focus on defense leaves me without sufficient damage dealing. Trying to hit hard isn't fast enough to prevent me from getting wiped out. Birds must prevail! How?

title: In ME1 how do you skip a conversation, but not choose an answer?

text: I read the subtitles a whole lot faster than the people talk in Mass Effect 1, and I've played the game through once already. So I'm looking for a way to **skip a cutscene without accidentally choosing an answer**. Currently, I'm using `Spacebar` to skip the dialog; however, since spacebar also selects the dialog option, pressing spacebar one time too many can result in random dialog choices.

text: I'm wondering specifically for the GameCube, how can I record myself playing. My TV has two interfaces -- RCA sockets and a coax socket. Standard for most TVs, I guess. I currently connect my GameCube to my TV through the RCA cable, but there is an adapter that goes to the coax socket if I need to do that for some reason. I was just wondering two things:   * How can I get the image from my GameCube onto my laptop? It has HDMI and VGA inputs if that helps at all.   * How can I record it?

Are there any special steps required to show a specific broadcast that I should be aware of (e.g. relating to Media Blitz)? > **Couch Surfer**   >  View 10 television news broadcasts.


title: I've run out of money in King's Bounty: The Legend

text: I've played King's Bounty a lot. I'm in the "Demonic" setting now with fire and lava everywhere. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of money left. Every time I encounter enemies I lose a large amount of my own stack. I now know that a good strategy (if not _the_ best) would have been to invest in resurrection with a human army. Unfortunately I did not do that. I will run out of units in about 2 or 3 fights. I don't have much cash left. What can I do? So far I've seen two possibilities: dying a lot, then going back **all the way** (very long) to fight the same monsters over and over again until I defeat them. I won't – this is a game, it's supposed to be fun, and this would be a major pain. The second possibility would be to cheat – there is a cheat that allows you to create money out of thin air. But this will make the game boring as well.

title: ZvZ, how do I defend against 6-pool with a Spine Crawler?

text: I'm in Gold. In Zerg vs. Zerg, normally I'm fine against a 6-Pool rush when just Zerglings are sent - I defend with some Drones, get out a Spine Crawler, and soon after roll over my opponent who has crippled his economy. However, I just lost twice in a row to some players who quickly brought a Drone in and started building a Spine Crawler on my creep, then moved in with Zerglings soon after. When I would attempt to attack the Zerglings with my Drones, they would pull back and the Spine Crawler would hit the Drones. The second time, I did successfully get down 3 Spine Crawlers of my own which defended well, but the cost was high and my opponent actually was in an advantageous position and was eventually able to win. I guess I could just build my Spawning Pool earlier than normal (I usually build it around 13-14) but that'd be something of a waste if my opponent isn't actually rushing. The Spine Crawler comes in pretty dang early, like before I would normally send a scout. Should I be scouting much faster, like my first Drone or something? Would attacking the Spine Crawler while it is building help? If so, how many Drones would it take to ensure its demise without destroying my income? What's the best way to beat this rush and still come out on top?

I do not want two different versions as I am not a full time gamer. Just play occasionally.


title: Random speed boosts

text: When playing with friends, we all noticed that sometimes we'd get a random boost of speed seemingly out of nowhere, usually when we're trying to pass someone. Often it would screw us up by sending us off the track or sometimes help by letting us pass the opponents, but there seemed to be no pattern for when it happens.   What are the criteria/requirements for this random boost to happen?

title: How can I make the redstone repeat a task x times and reset it self?

text: So I'm trying to make a redstone circuit that can repeat a task x amount of times and then reset it self. I was thinking of using a dropper and a hopper and use the hopper redstone signal (retrieved by a comparator) to check the amount, so lets say I need it to repeat a task 20 times, I place 20 items inside (along with the 3 items that are already inside the hopper, so it emits a 2 long signal once it has the 20 items from the dropper, I know how to do that part, but to the question, how can I make it reset to 3 on the hopper and 20 to the dropper? The main question is the one described in the first paragraph and the title, the second one would be good to know, but idk if its possible.

title: Certain PC Game Views Always Moves UP!

text: I only titled this "Certain PC Game Views Always Moves UP!" because I didn't know what else to ask. Here's the problem, I've tried installing Borderlands & Singularity & gotten the same problem with both games, (if I can explain this correctly) the "view" of the 1st person character (myself) ALWAYS moves to the top of the screen. As if you've moved your mouse up so that your looking straight into the sky. Whenever you move the mouse down, (effecting the view of your character) the view of said character moves directly back to the sky. It's not the easiest question for me to put into words. I've done a LOT of research on-line & found not one other person with this issue. I'm probably explaining it wrong. Any help would be appreciated. AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.6GHz 2GB DDR2 Radeon HD4350 Catalyst 10.7 500GB HD 75% Full Windows 7 Ultimate Anything else needed to know please ask. EDIT I also have a Microsoft wireless mouse with the IntelliPoint driver & Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse combo with the SetPoint driver & Xbox 360 controller & driver & Xpadder 5.7 for those games that don't support joypads. I've tried EVERY combination of ON-OFF diver-mouse-xpadder-no xpadder but it ALWAYS ends up with the exact same video issue. Every other game plays fine. COD MW 1 & 2, Farcry 2, Fallout 3, LEGO Indy 2, etc etc etc BTW, I know my machine isn't a "gaming rig", every other game works fine. If these two do the exact same thing than I know there will be more.


title: Is there any possibility how to see the elapsed GAME time in multiplayer SC2?

text: I know that this question has been discussed a bit in numerous topics about SC2, but still perhaps there is a possibility how to see the elapsed **game time** ingame?

I'm mainly interested in this for multiplayer games, however.


title: Is it possible to combine system link and split screen play on Halo 3's campaign?

(Between free games with my 360's replacement, the free game when someone got it as a present, and the disc in ODST and the fact that Gamestop only give €3 for trade ins I do have several Halo 3 game discs)


title: Will an unauthorised repair count as a modded console from Microsoft's perspective?

text: I've had a broken, out of warranty Xbox 360 lying around for some time. Microsoft want €135 to repair it, which isn't worth it. A friend's friend does repairs for €40. Would this repair cause MS to recognise it as a modded console (ie is the check for nodded consoles a check for unauthorised components or just a check for opening it up)? I can do without Xbox Live on it, as I still have my main 360, but it'd be handy if two could play the same game online together at once.

I've also tried sending the blue waldo over a **BOND +** command without success. Searches online have found a couple other people in similar situations with no apparent resolution. I love this game, but this is aggravating! Thanks for your help!

There is a program called TFMV which lets you preview loadouts and paints on TF2 classes by scanning the VMT files for each item and making an easy interface for editing them (then loading them in HLMV), but it (somewhat understandably) doesn't include any of the Halloween paints. I read this wiki page about previewing paints by editing the color values in the VMT files for each item, but it doesn't mention how the Halloween paints animation worked or what their color values were. If anyone knows what the values are that need to be edited in an item's VMT file to see a Halloween paint, or any other way I could preview this effect, please help P.S. I want to view the effect on a specific item, so the preview on youtube of the paints on a gibus is not helpful

title: Items Unique To Ice Biome?

text: I've been moving along my progression line at a brisk pace in Terraria lately, all the way up to a full set of Crimsonite Armor and weapons, a Minishark (I prefer it until I get a better supply of stars for the Star Canon), and basically all the meteorite equipment I want. I'm ready to take on the Dungeon, but there's one biome I have yet to fully explore... My Underground Ice Biome. This is a bit ironic, since I decided to move my home on top of that biome, but I only ever explored the depths of it a little bit one time, and while that got me a nice Ice Boomerang and a Frost In A Bottle, I hardly ever use the Boomerang anymore and I don't think I'll need more than one X in a bottle from there. Is there any reason to further explore my underground Ice Biome? Are there any unique items I'd be missing by going straight to the dungeon and, from there, the sky and eventually down to Hell?

text: Cities of Tomorrow introduced MegaTowers, which have many different segments which can be built. So far I know these:               LW Residential: 800 workers, 400 shoppers and 200 students.       800 cost per hour, 1200 rent per hour     T1 Office: 1200 LW, 400 MW and 100 HW workers.       900 cost per hour, 1900 rent per hour.       (no pollution, no freight, immune to techpoints)      I'm mainly interested in residential agent counts, goods counts, worker counts, cost and max rent per hour, and power consumption (in 10's of power units). My theory is that these buildings pay less in rent and take more in power than equivalent original RCI would pay in tax.

This is unlike in SR4, where homies can be asked to follow you almost anytime and anywhere even when you have an active mission in Steelport*, and even shortly after they were just dismissed or shortly after the homie / player character dies. ![Homie's \(Pierce\) phone giving out a busy signal](http://i.stack.imgur.com/oWM8B.png) I know that homies can't be called as a follower most of the time when you currently have a mission active. But even if I don't have any mission active, some homies' phones still give out a busy signal when called. I also know that there's a cooldown period before you can call a homie again to be a follower after they have been dismissed. In instances where I don't have a mission active, **what causes the homies' phones to give a busy signal when called? And how does this work?**   * How long is the cooldown period before you can call a homie again to be a follower after they have been called previously (after being dismissed or after the homie / player character dies)?    * Are there locations where you can't call a homie to be a follower?   * Are there certain events (not necessarily active missions) where homies won't be able to be a follower? * * * > * Actually "Fake Steelport" or "the Simulation"


title: At what level do leveled items stop improving?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  What is the minimum level I need to be to get the strongest version of > leveled items? From what I understand, items that are given as quest rewards are leveled items as in the stats/enchantments values are based on the level at the time which you receive that item (and they don't continue leveling as you do). Is there a certain level at which point the item will not improve any more (like an item received at level 30 is the same power as the same item received at level 55)?


title: How can I transfer my saved progress in DiRT 2 to a different mac?

text: I literally spent the last 2 hours trying to find the solution, but couldn't. There are solutions for Windows, but no Mac. I basically installed DiRT 2 on my macbook pro, but already had some progress on iMac, which I would like to transfer to the new set up. Is it possible? If so, how?


title: Do only oil derricks cost electric power?

text: I was reading this manual, it tells me one power generator can support up to for oil derricks, so that means other structure doesn't require power, am I wrong ?


title: How can I tell what the rare/legendary base item is?

text: Whenever rare or legendary items drop, they have generic item names like "Sheath" or "Heaven Hand". Is there any way to tell what the base item is after the item is identified?


title: How to do a force attack like in Red Alert 2

text: Is it possible to do a force attack in warzon2100 ? I want to hit on the oil factory of my allies, hitting `CTRL` + `Mouse 1` doesn't seem to work **EDIT** The only reason I want that, sometimes my ally (computer player) takes over my oil dereck when it's destroyed by my enemy (I forget to rebuild it), I want it back by attacking that structure.


title: How to improve the chance to stop a hunter in Left 4 Dead 2?

text: I played L4D2 online with people that stop **Hunters** from getting them almost always. Instead, they get me 7-8 out of 10 times. How can I improve my chances to block hunters?


title: Releasing Trapped Vermin

text: I recently started played Dwarf Fortress, and not knowing that it wouldn't catch normal animals I caught some vermin from the Kennel. Now I have some rats and stuff sitting around in an animal trap on a stockpile, and I want to get rid of them either just be gone to free up space or release them to do something.(Maybe someone wants a pet rat/hedgehog/roach?) I've been trying to, but I just can't figure out how to. Can anyone tell me how?


title: Lords of Midnight (8 bit version) - did anyone complete it? If so, how?

text: I had many happy (& frustrating days) playing Lords of Midnight on the C64. However I never came close to completing it. The idea seemed simple, get Morkin to destroy the Ice Crown, or get Luxor's armies together to defeat Doomdark's armies. However the further North I got with Morkin, the more likely he was to die when fighting something stupid (and getting to the point where I was surrounded and had to fight). Meanwhile I'd be recruiting armies, and seeming quite good, but suddenly get caught out running into a seriously big enemy army and not be able to marshal my armies together to defeat them. Did anyone out there finish this / or have any tips on how to do so? I'd consider revisiting it, but wondering if it is even possible or if it is unbeatable?
