title: How does one obtain the "black" camo in BF3?

text: Playing around in Battlefield 3 I often see players (with a rank higher or equal to 42, I noticed) that wear a black suit that's very difficult to spot (i.e. a relatively long time and short distance before the orange triangle appears over the player's head). Is it part of some expansion or does one obtain such camo at some rank? I can't find any clue about it.

title: Diablo 3 - can't press escape key

text: I'm experiencing a strange problem in D3. I can't press escape to bring up the menu. It's only been happening for the last week. > Try rebinding the key. Yeah, I've tried to do that but the rebind key is a different colour and it looks like it's disabled. > Maybe your keyboard/esc key is broken? No, I've tried the escape key outside of D3 and it works fine. I've also got several keys assigned to my G keys (thanks G13 gameboard) and they don't work either. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a patch error? **Edit:** > I've found that if I press Shift+Esc it brings ups the menu. I don't think > it's possible that the shift key is stuck on because I wouldn't be able to > move if the shift key was stuck down

title: I've lost Shadowmere - where can I find her?

text: So I own Shadowmere from the Dark Brotherhood. However, I jumped on another horse for a few seconds, before fast travelling. I did a few quests, without even thinking about Shadowmere, and now when I need her, the horse that I rode for those few seconds appears. Anyone have any idea where I can get Shadowmere back?


title: Shadowmere problems

title: In Skyrim, Shadowmere has been lost for about 3 levels, how do I find her?

text: So, after the DBH quests, I went to the new Sanctuary, and did a lot of other quests, including the main story line, Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and just started the Dragonborn DLC. I've been wandering around with the Aura Whisper shout, and I've not found her. The last time I saw her was when I bought a horse from Whiterun, and rode it around until I reached Windhelm, and then it died due to a dragon. Shadowmere has not respawned (if dead), or turned up after fast- travelling. I tried reloading save files, but then I kept losing her. Is there a way to get her back?-- She wasn't at the black pool at EITHER Sanctuary and I still cannot find her. I've looked about everywhere and still she has not turned up and I've not found her.

I got maybe one in 8 Grand Prix races in 100cc, I'm getting almost one per track now. Is the item list/rarity different on different difficulty/speeds or is this just a fluke?

They also don't seem to appear unless you are playing online.


title: How can I disable or shorten cut sequences in FIFA 13?

text: One thing I've noticed in FIFA 13 is that the duration of cut sequences when you change a player is really long. This is really getting on my nerves. I don't want to watch a guy holding up the numbers or player walking around for 5 or 6 seconds, especially in multiplayer. **Is there a way to configure the duration of these sequences, or turn them off entirely?** I haven't found any settings for this yet, but maybe there's some sort of hack to disable them. Any help is appreciated.

title: How is a Borderlands 2 multiplayer game hosted?

text: I am considering buying borderlands 2 but would first like to know how and who hosts the game that I want to play with my friend on the other side of the world. I have quite bad computer and cannot host a game well and neither does my friend but we both have okay internet. In Borderlands 1 we both lagged whenever either of us hosted because one of our computers had to actually host the game (at least that's what I assume) and I am wondering if Borderlands 2 has a dynamic server hosting system or the same system as borderlands 1, where a player has to host. Thanks in advance.


title: How can I get the Steam client to reestablish its connection?

text: I've been using the Steam client on my MacBook Pro quite a bit lately, and I've come across a rather annoying issue that I hope one of you can help me with. I often put my computer to sleep with the Steam client still open, and when I open it back up I often see the following: ![No connection](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AJxyN.jpg) This "lack of connection" (I am very much connected to the internet at this point) presents various grievances such as issues with browsing the store and synching games with the Steam Cloud. Maybe I simply haven't poked around the menus enough, but I haven't been able to find something that instructs the client to reconnect. I can obviously close and relaunch the client, but that is rather cumbersome and I'm looking for a more elegant solution, if one exists.


title: How can an opponent stop Shen's ultimate?

text: I enjoy watching Shen games because the global ultimate adds the excitement of unexpectedly turning the tides of a losing fight. But I'm surprised at how often Stand United completes, considering it has a 3 sec channeling time. * * * EDIT: Emerica comments that the logistics of Shen's ultimate make it very hard to counter. > Normally Shen's ult is used from out of combat into combat, meaning no one > can get him and noone can stop him, except by killing the ally he is porting > to.

title: Can I transfer the data from my Wii to my new Wii U without erasing the Wii?

text: The Wii U can transfer data from an older Wii using a new channel called the "Wii U Transfer Tool" which Nintendo has made available. However, the instructions state that **once the data is transferred off the Wii to the Wii U, the data is permanently deleted from the Wii** and cannot be restored. According to the Wii U Manual: > **IMPORTANT: Transferred data is permanently deleted from the Wii Console. > Once you have Transferd data to the Wii U Console, it cannot be transferred > back to a Wii console. Data cannot be transferred from your Wii U console to > a Wii console.** I just tried copying all my Miis to a Wiimote, but on the Wii U, There is no way to copy Wiis from a Wii Remote back to the Wii U... so that plan failed... Is there any way to transfer the data from an older Wii console to a new Wii U _without_ deleting the data off the old Wii? I don't trust the new Wii U to be 100% backwards compatible and I might still want to use the Wii!

title: Can I transfer my PC characters to my Mac?

text: I was hopeful that I'd be able to download and boot up Borderlands 2 on my mac this morning to the grand sight of all the characters I'd created on the PC version happily waiting for me. Unfortunately, that was not the case. **Edit:** the offical word from Aspyr is that steam cloud sync between Mac and PC will not occur: `The Steam Clouds are separate since the PC and Mac will be out of sync as far as versions are concerned.` So, given that this doesn't happen automatically, is there a way I can copy some files from my PC (bootcamp) to my mac and keep my character progress? It's not something I want to do more than once.

title: Does it matter which resistance type I stack when using One With Everything?

text: I'm currently a level 52 Monk (Act 1 Hell) and using One With Everything to boost my resistances. At the time that I decided to start using OWE, my Physical resistance was highest, so I bought other items with that at the Auction House. Now I've got that around 200 total resistance. That's all pretty straightforward, but I wonder if I should stick to Physical resistance or if there's any benefit to change to something else. Specifically:   1. Is it easier to find items with higher amounts of a certain type of resistance, or all they all distributed evenly?   2. Is there a type of resistance that's less important to other classes, so I might be able to get it cheaper at the auction house? I'm pretty sure the answer to the first one is "no". I searched the AH for chest armor wearable at my level (52) with each type of resistance, and could find pieces with 30 resistance but not 31. The second question is more of a meta-game issue; if non-Monks think that (for example) Physical resistance is the most important resistance, that means I'll end up over-paying for items with that. Thanks!


title: NWN2 multiplayer on original campaign

text: Me and my friends have the Neverwinter Nights 2 game with expansions but haven't played it in a while. I was wondering if it is possible, and under what circumstances, to play the original published campaigns in a multiplayer environment.   * Is it possible via LAN or virtual LAN?    * Is the performance decent?    * Can we add custom mods like Kaedrin's stuff, extra classes etc? If so, I assume every connected member would need to have the same mods, right?    * How would you describe the amount of effort required to set this up? What about time required for customization, such as changing the round = 6s parameter?   _Most of us are more than experienced with games & computers._


title: How is resistance percentage calculated?

text: My character's resistance is listed on the details pane when I open my inventory, and it's a simple integer. It appears to undergo some type of calculation to determine the percentage of damage each of these actually counts for: ![Tooltip says Cold Resistance:  80; Reduces Cold damage from level 34 enemies by 31.93%](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Nkdhh.jpg) Judging by the tooltip, there's some factor based on enemy (and/or my?) level. I believe these numbers are 80 due to my intelligence - I had 798 at the time this was taken. How is percentage resistance calculated? Although the base "Resistance" integer appears to be derived directly from my stats, does the percentage in this tooltip take into account skills, enchantments, or other modifiers that change resistance?

In this battle moves that are usually Super Effective (eg, Fire -> Grass) are Not Very Effective, and moves that are usually Not Very Effective (eg, Water -> Grass) are Super Effective. How does this affect match-ups that usually do **no** damage (eg Normal -> Ghost, or Psychic -> Dark)? Do they still do zero damage, or do they now do Super Effective? If the latter, are there any type match-ups that would do zero damage in an Inverse Battle?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Can both the digital and analog output on the Xbox 360 be used at once? I recently got an Xbox Slim and I have some trouble connecting it to my monitor and stereo. For the monitor I got an HDMI-to-DVI cable and now I can see something at least, but for the audio I have this problem: the big cable with the audio connectors that came with the Xbox has a part that when plugged in to the console is covering the HDMI port, so that I cannot connect both cables at once. So now I can get either video or audio but not both. I assume this is on purpose but I was wondering if it is safe to cut away the part of the cable which is covering the HDMI port, so that I can connect both cables at once. Is that true?

title: How does the environment influence farming?

text: So I've noticed that certain plants haven't been growing in a timely manner. On my starting world I had a toxic biome near the teleport point and got a bunch of toxic top seeds, but after 3-4 cycles of growing and harvesting the wheat right next to them, the toxic tops I'd planted hadn't grown at all. I've since moved on to an arid biome world. I placed some dirt near the teleport point, tilled it, and planted some wheat, a crystal plant, and a toxic top. None of them have grown. My inference is that plants will either grow or not grow depending on planet biome; is this correct? If so, which plants grow on which planets? Another plausible guess is that the tilled block matters - some plants may grow in tilled dirt while others require mud. Is this correct? If so, which plants grow on which blocks?

Can this be done? Will they fight over game installations, updates, etc? What if the computers run different operating systems?


title: Can Steam tell me when I have a game installed on another computer or in another OS?

text: Does Steam know, and will it tell me, if I am installing a game that I already have installed elsewhere on the same account? In particular, I don't want to install the same games in Windows and OSX and Linux on the same computer, but more generally I'd want to avoid installing games without cloud synced saves in multiple places accidentally.


title: What is the purpose of cacti?

text: Lanayru Desert is covered with cacti. I realize they hold bombs at a nice height for the beetle to pick them, but do they have another purpose? You can bash on them and get the bark off, but can you destroy them? Do they hide anything valuable?


title: What are the gameplay/level design differences between Jumper and Jumper: Redux?

text: I understand that in Jumper:Redux, graphics and sound effects are improved over the original Jumper. As well a few new features have been added, like multiplayer. What I want to know though is there any differences in core level design or gameplay that would change the actual way the two games are played? Or are they identical in that respect? (I am thinking of things like in Super Mario Bros 3 the GBA/SNES versions are considered slightly easier than the original NES version)


title: How does the level penalty in the postgame experience tally work?

text: Upon completing a mission, experience is tallied out based on a number of factors. Crew survival, mission skill, and risk factor are among some of the potential contributors to experience. With most (if not all) missions, there appears to be a set player level tied to it that, when contrasted with player levels, can deduct experience from your final tally. My question is this: Which types of missions (Four Stores, Bank Heist, Watchdogs, Firestarters) carry which hidden level values with them? Additionally; How do additional difficulty levels affect this level bonus? What scale does the deduction operate on? Does it subtract experience for both underleveled (would make some sense, this could be in place to curb powerleveling scrubs) and overleveled (keeping some challenge around for highly leveled individuals) parties?


title: Why do junglers use Dorans Blade?

text: I'm new to jungling and was watching a few streams and saw that some junglers (Lee Sin is the one that comes to mind right now) would go boots first and then 2-3 Dorans Blade. Why do they do this? I didn't know if it was just a preference or something that I didn't understand because I'm new to jungling.


title: How is your Castle level determined?

text: In The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot, what determines your castle level and how much does it increase depending on upgrades? You of course want to maximize the strength of creatures and traps in your castle _without increasing your castle level_ , so knowing how it increases is important. For example, I noticed that placing Roboshieldotron raised my castle level by 2, while removing it did nothing to lower my castle level. I've also noticed that certain research upgrades do not increase my castle level while others do.

title: What is the most efficent use of karma?

text: Simply put, what is the most efficient use of karma at level 80? I've reached 80k karma or so, and I've been looking to turn this karma into gold profits. Most armor and weapons take far too much karma to be useful, so I've started to look into using karma for cooking. As more players raise cooking, however, I find cooking to be fairly unprofitable. Are there are any armors or weapons that efficiently use karma? Assuming that I have only 100k karma, how can I efficiently use this karma to benefit a level 80 character?


title: What's the benefit of initiating followers into the Blades?

text: Once you've discovered Sky Haven Temple, Delphine Jend tells you that if you'd like to expand the ranks of the Blades, you can bring followers to her, and she'll administer the oath and induct them into the Blades. What's the benefit of this? Is it just the 'upgrade' to their default equipment? Or do their 'tagged' skills change at all? The only other benefit that I can see is that for those followers with out of the way or inconvenient 'homes', you can relocate them to Sky Haven for much easier recruitment. This is particularly handy for the Khajit caravaeer I suppose.


title: How can I turn a profit with Missions?

text: I built an alt that's geared towards combat (my main is a miner), but I'm having trouble turning a profit running missions. I can do level 2 for the Caldari Navy, but they payout isn't so huge, and repair costs tend to drive my bills to the point where I actually lose money with each mission I run, not gain it. I carry my own armor rep, and that helps with the repair costs, these missions (plus the bounties) don't pay enough right now to warrant doing. Any advice on how I can turn a profit so I don't have to get rid of this build?


title: Is there a way to get the awesome robe enchantments on armor?

text: As a mage there are some nice clothes out there. I'm wearing:               Master's Robes of Destruction       +150% Magika Regen       -22% magika cost for Destruction      Pretty awesome. But not wearing armor makes me incredibly vunerable to melee attacks. I often get one-hit killed. Is there a way to get the awesome enchantments of clothes on armor? I have the enchantments but they don't work so well on armor. If I up my Enchanting skill will they ever be as good as clothes?


title: How can I rotate map in OpenTTD?

text: **Is it possible to rotate the map?** Sometimes things are very difficult to select because they are behind buildings or other things. The shorcut icon, key, etc. would be greatly appreciated


title: How do I complete the With Friends Like These achievement?

text: The challenge achievement _With Friends Like These_ requires you to "Kill 30 enemies from the death explosion of a single Grotesque, Harvester, Horror, Aomination, Bile Crawler, or Spine Lasher." Obviously, followers and minions are going to get in the way here so it's assumed they're dismissed. As I understand it, the idea is to try and kite 30+ enemies close to one of these exploder enemies and then blow them up with the explosion from killing the exploder. I would think to use Monk, Wizard or Hunter as Barb abilities would need fury and Doctors rely on their minions quite a bit and crowd control abilities that don't damage or do little damage in order to herd the enemies. I cannot seem to get 30 enemies to die this way. Either there aren't enough enemies within range or they don't die from the explosion or I'm missing something as to why this isn't happening for me. **Where is a good location to do this? What is a good strategy to do this?** Are there particular classes/skills that would make this easier? The ideal answer would be class agnostic, but as long as it is simple and it works, that's good enough.

title: Why does my framerate go up and down?

text: I am playing Final Fantasy 14 on a Toshiba Qosmio X70 (17.3 in laptop, 2 TB HD, 20 GB 1600 MHz RAM, intel 4-core i7 4700MQ processor, GeForce 770M with 3 GB dedicated) and I notice that my game tends to go back and forth between great fps (frames per second) and then gets throttled back. I can hear my fan spinning up each time the game gets choppy. It does this regardless of the quality I have it set to. When it is not doing the back and forth choppiness thing, I can play it Maximum settings at around 40 fps. When I play it on minimum I can get more like 60 fps, but in either case, it sometimes get choppy (it gets choppy for about 1-2 seconds then goes back to playing well and it might do this every 10-15 seconds). Any idea what is causing this intermittent low in fps? It is not anything in- game since I am sitting in a town crafting and not doing anything intensive. Is this a heating issue? Is it RAM related? What do you guys think and how can I troubleshoot this to figure out what is causing this?


title: Is it possible to see AI's city gets captured by barbarians?

text: I've tried the following setting: huge map, only one AI as Venice, raging barbarians, one-city challenge, no city-state, level 5. I expected the barbarians will capture the capital of Venice because of the number of encampments and the high spawning speed. Also during the game, Venice has built Great Library and Parthenon. So I think he was not on the track of military sciences. But even with this, I didn't see the barbarians capturing his capture. So is it possible to see barbarians conquering an AI?


title: Which teams are the top teams in FIFA 12?

text: In short I want to find out which are the best teams in FIFA 12. I know this is quite an open ended question but it would be good to see some sort of comparison chart for team stats, anybody have a link for that or something similar? Something like follows would be useful...

I need to have a shortlist of my preferred teams, and will also be wanting to test them out before it starts.


title: I think I got a counterfeit Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver from eBay.  Can I make it work?

text: I bought a XBox 360 wireless gaming receiver on eBay so that I can use my wireless controllers on my PC. I got it from an Asian distributor on eBay. The device itself as well as the whole packaging looks pretty authentic though the official Microsoft logo can't be seen, so I suspect that it is some replica. When I plug it in, Windows 7 complains it can't detect the device. Also, when I point it to the drivers that came with it, it says it can't install them. Is there anyway I can still get this thing to work?

I've Googled for this, but it seems that there isn't an official list, and the info I can find in some places is wrong (or the XP prices have changed). Is there an official or reliable list of XP?

title: Random Minecraft Seed not containing new biomes

text: I often search for nice seeds on the internets but then I think I want a unique seed for my server and not one that is already in use by many other servers. When I generate a new map with a random seed (leaving the field blank), the server builds a map prior to the version (I think it's 1.7) which does not contain MESA biome and generally the stuff added since 1.7. My expectation is that a map created by the newest version of the server also contains the new stuff. Now I'm running the most recent server versions but still have old maps, although I just created them. I have two questions:   * Is it just bad luck?   * Is there a way I can integrate the missing biomes randomly into my current map without losing chunks we already built on? I'm using the most recent **spigot** with only a little amount of plugins. When I put in a seed found on the internet, containing the new biomes, spigot / the server does not complain and happily generates the map with the new biomes. _Edit:_ Thanks for your answer. The suggested tool showed the _missing_ biomes - I just didn't look far enough. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/l0h3n.png)


title: My Borderlands 2 DLC isn't detected?

text: I'm playing Borderlands 2 and I just downloaded a DLC called the Pirate's Booty for ten bucks, because I do not have a pass. It says that it is downloaded, but I cannot play it or access oasis. It says it is not downloaded, so I'm a bit confused about this. How can I fix it and get the DLC in my game?


title: Is there a maximum limit on the amount of corpses I can pile up? How does it work and how can I remove/increase the limit?

text: Related.   I would like to know if BioShock Infinite limits the number of corpses in a certain zone (like the previous BioShock games and Dishonored, other games that also use the Unreal Engine). I also noticed that like the previous BioShock games, some corpses are also magically turned into lockboxes: ![Where the hell did these lock boxes come from?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gWH7y.jpg)   * Does the game remove corpses or lockboxes to make way for new ones? How does it work?    * What if I haven't looted the body or lockbox yet? Will the corpse or lockbox still be removed?    * How does the corpse conversion into lockboxes work?    * If the game does have a corpse or lockbox limit, how do I increase this limit in the PC version of the game? I prefer removing or increasing the corpse limit and see less or no lock boxes at all. (The lockboxes break immersion, I mean - Where the heck did those lockboxes come from?)

title: Which mantises explode?

text: I've noticed that when I loot mantis legs off of some mantises they explode. Others (most in the wasteland, in fact) don't. Which mantises explode upon you looting their legs, and why is it different? # UPDATE Going through Vault 22 again, this time as a goody-two-shoes for the NCR. What I've found is that not only do the Vault 22 mantises explode upon me looting their legs, but I also seem to get 20XP each time I do so. I still have not gotten a mantis to explode after looting it anywhere but Vault 22, so I'm beginning to think this is just a Vault 22 thing. Can anyone confirm or deny?

title: Do different warrior weapons offer stat differences?

text: In cube world. the classes have different weapon types which offer differenty combos and special attacks. An example would be the mage having a staff, wand, or bracelets. Warriors have 3 types as well: 1 h+shield, dual 1 handed, and 2 handed weapons. The main difference is that there are axes, maces, and swords. The have the same combos (dual mace will hurricane spin just like dual sword). No other class has this difference, except for **_maybe_** ranger's boomerangs (disc, L, and X types). So my question is there a difference between weapons of the same type... like sword having more attack speed while axes has higher critical? I'm still a low level where stats are negligible to tell any difference in.

title: How can I change spells (using hotkeys) in a spell+shield configuration?

text: I like how the PC version of Skyrim lets you use the number keys to switch quickly between spells, but its awkward to use this capability when you are in a spell + shield configuration. As far as I can tell shields can only be equipped in the left hand, and this is unfortunately the same hand used to equip a spell when you press the assigned number key. I want a setup where I can press the number keys to select different spells for my right hand while keeping the shield equipped on my left hand. How can I do this?


title: What do I do if other ships are already on the anchor?

text: I am trying to figure out ship trading in Shogun 2. I went to the location of an anchor on the minimap with my trading ship, and there was already a fleet of trading ships on it from a trading partner of mine. The game displayed a message saying I could right click on the anchor and destroy the fleet that was already on the anchor, going to war with my trading partner. This does not make sense to me; surely I am misunderstanding or doing something wrong. I had expected to find these anchors in territories of those nations I have trade alliances with, but I only see them with some odd, long distance nations, not related to me. Surely both of us can trade at the same time? It does not make sense to me that I would be unable to trade from an anchor because my trading ally is already there. I certainly don't want to go to war with my trading ally. What do I do to trade when there is somebody already on the anchor? How does this work?


title: What is the most efficient way to reach the Armor Rating cap?

text: What is both the most efficient way to reach the cap of 85% physical damage reduction (567 Armor)? Can it be reached without smithing/enchanting perks? Is it more efficient to not get some smithing or enchanting perks and just get heavy armor perks? Or is there some combination of crafting and heavy armor perks that gets to 567 armor with a smaller investment of perk points? For purposes of this question, most efficient is defined as the smallest possible amount of perks used to acquire the stated physical damage reduction, _passively_ - i.e. without popping pots (temporary) or using extra buffs from stones, blessings, or +Heavy Armor skill enchants (to keep those slots on equipment free for other enhancements). Also, any skill used to achieve this can be assumed to be leveled to 100 (for example Heavy Armor could be assumed to be already leveled to 100).

title: Is there a way to tell a citizen where to live?

text: One occasionally irritating problem in Tropico 4 (and 3, looking back on it) is that there seems to be no way to control who goes to live in which home; more often than not it's first-come-first serve -- and no matter that the apartment building I just put up right next to the garage by the fisheries is a much nicer place to live, three of the fishermen will stay in the tenement five miles down the road near the city center. Is there any way to change that short of forcible evictions (causes unhappiness) or dynamiting the tenements? **EDIT** Bit late, but came up with a workable method that causes a lot less unhappiness than evictions: Drastically increase the rent in the building you want cleared. Even the people who can afford it will likely abandon it for someplace nicer if they can, and when it's empty, it can be safely dynamited and replaced with a better residential building.

This usually happens when I'm playing a FPS but it can happen in any game (just happened to me while playing Arkham City (third person view)). If I get lost, and I don't know where I'm going, I start to physically get ill. I get sick to my stomach and if I keep playing, I'll get to the point where I have to lay down and close my eyes or I'll throw up. I always considered it some form of motion sickness. But it only happens when I'm lost. I don't get it. Thoughts?

text: I installed Civilization 5 on my laptop recently and there is a problem with the graphics. The game itself looks good, but some resources like sheep are stretched. When I encounter them I see big lines on my screen. It seems as if the textures were stretched. My laptop specifications:   3 GB RAM; Intel Core i3 CPU; Intel HD Graphics; I have already installed the latest drivers for my graphic card.


title: How Do I Keep Up In Level As Support

text: I usually play support, and it's often the case that by the time I'm level 13 or 14, everyone else is 16 or more. What's the best strategy for keeping up in level with everyone else?

title: How can I get this goblin out of the ground?

text: I'm stuck in the second room of the lost temple in Darksiders II. In this room, I am supposed to maneuver a golem into a socket to open the next door. However, I fooled a bit around with the golem and suddenly, the golem moved some six feet into the ground. Thus, the golem is now buried literally up to its throat in the ground. I can still mount the golem and can let him punch through the ground, but it's impossible to move him. Is there any possibility to get the golem out of the ground? Unfortunately, the game had already auto-saved the position of the golem when I reloaded the save state, so that it reappered in the ground at the exact same place. Is there any way to reset the golem's position? I tried leaving the area and reentering, but this didn't help either. If there is no possibility to resolve this issue and my save game is rendered useless by this bug, can anyone provide a WiiU save state at approximately this place in the game?


title: How to access Mass Effect 2 DLC?

text: I bought Mass Effect 2 with some additional DLC content on Steam and setup an account on the Cerberus network. I have completed the campaign, however I do not notice any of the bonus missions and extras the DLC offered? I should be able to do the Shadow Broker mission, The Thief, and some other extras. How do I access them? Have I missed something? I have been looking on Google and some people are saying the DLC is only unlocked if you start a new campaign after completing Mass Effect 2. Any ideas how to access the content?


title: How to get hacking past defense drones

text: Both MK II and the mother ship's defense drones seemingly create an impenetrable defense against hacking. In particular, the second stage mothership has a single defense drone. Even when part of a large volley of other projectiles, the defense drone unerringly singled out the hacking drone to shoot down. I tried sending it out slightly after a large volley as well; similarly no luck. Is there a trick to get around this defense, in conjunction with regular/ion weapons? Perhaps some timing trick? I've often found that the computer's attack drones somehow slip by my own defense, though perhaps they're simply slower than the mother ship's.


title: what elements of the game are NOT necessary for a successful city, such as farms?

text: I would like to know what elements of the game are NOT necessary for a successful city. Farms I have built and they take up a lot of space, but I am not sure what the contribution is to create a successful city. I usually skip them altogether, and things seem to go fine. But, do Landmarks really contribute to a city? I never built streets, skip railways or other monorail/elevated rail type, because they take up too much space. Or is it really necessary to built all types of zone densities in a city to make it successful?


title: Paying credits after a failled spacemission

text: When you start a spacemission you have to pay some credits to go to the destination. If I die during a spacemission and I press the button "retry mission". Do I have to pay that money again, or can I try the mission again without paying the credits?


title: I deleted a duplicate Mii from my Wii U. It was one that I'd imported from my Wii. Is it also gone from the Wii menu?

text: Somehow, I had one version of my Mii on my Wii, and one version on my 3DS. When configuring my Wii U, I used the 3DS version, since that was the only one I could import on initial setup. After importing Miis and save data from my Wii, I then deleted the duplicate version of my Mii that had been copied from the Wii out of the Wii U's Mii storage. However, I noticed now that when I boot up Super Mario Galaxy 2 on my Wii U, my save file just shows Mario, not my Mii. Did I accidentally delete my Mii (and thus any Wii Sports save data and any other Wii save data that requires a Mii) from my Wii U's Wii menu as well as from the Wii U's own Mii storage?


What are the advantages of going through the practice league? Aside from the practice and that battle.net can find better matches?


title: Does using the difficulty glitch in "The Last of Us" unlock the Survivor+ trophies?

text: It is apparently possible to switch from your first playthrough (where you unlock Survivor difficulty) directly to a Survivor+ playthrough via a glitch with Chapter Select. Does completing a "Survivor+" run in this way count for trophy completion? The glitch is where you start a new game+, play through to "20 Years Later", and then start a new game via the chapter-select and pick Hometown on Survivor+ difficulty. This only works if you delete the patches from your system, but they can apparently be re-downloaded once you've saved on Survivor+ mode.


title: How to kill (healers) with Subtlety Rogue

text: I currently have a Gnome Subtlety Rogue lvl 55. I am building her specifically for PVP. Currently my biggest problem is trying to kill healers 1v1. These can be priests or warlocks or paladins, with ambush I'm able to knock them down to about 1/10 health, but before I normally can finish them off they're able to do a full heal, and of course then going 1v1 against them I normally lose as they keep healing and I'm unable too. Lvl right now is 55 but I'm going till 85, but do enjoy doing pvp along the way. Are there any specific tactics for dealing with healers? Assuming I'm 1v1 against a random healer in a battleground, and no one else interferes.


title: The Sims 3: Athletic skill stuck, any way to fix?

text: In The Sims 3, I have a sim that plainly refuses to learn the athletic skill. She can work out for hours, get fatigued, but her skill meter never moves and the skill is still stuck at zero.   I've installed the latest patch (1.18.9). No expansion packs, no mods, no items. Is there any way to fix this? Things I've tried so far:   * `CTRL`+`SHIFT`+`C`, `resetSim <name of sim>`   This had no effect other than resetting the sim's position.   * Going to the stadium to learn the athletic skill   This only blocked the sim from doing the same thing again.

title: Dragon Quest IX - Possible to play completely co-op?

text: How viable is it to play through Dragon Quest IX entirely in multiplayer? I'm hoping to be able to play through the whole thing together with my wife, so I'm just wondering if there are any downsides or impossibilities to doing this. A couple of main questions, I suppose:   * Neither of us have played it at all, are we able to start immediately in multiplayer, or do we have to play the game individually for a while before it's possible to connect?   * Is there any drawback to playing through completely in multiplayer? Will we be unable to do certain parts, or complete the game, or anything?


title: Can Heroes continue to use their upgrades once they've run out of Hero days?

text: Some people in my town have been asking this, and I'm not 100% sure. Here's an example, in case my title wasn't clear enough: Say a Hero builds a Kitchen in his home, that can be used to convert food into better dishes that give more ap. If this Hero's hero days run out, will he still be able to use the already-built kitchen to continue converting food?


title: Why do microphones get loud when loading Starcraft?

text: I use Skype a lot while playing Starcraft 2, and for many people that I've skyped with, their microphones go extra loud when a map/game is loading. Sometimes the reverb-like sound gets so loud you have to mute your headset. I would think it might be the hard drive or the graphics card pulling extra power, but I haven't noticed it during times of intense graphics during a game.


title: Minecraft Recording doesn't work

text: When I try to record minecraft, any software I use produces a video file with the game sounds, but not my voice, and with no actual video, just a blank screen. I have tried many different programs, such as Fraps, Camtasia Studio, CamStudio, and a few others I can't remember. Any solution to this problem is appreciated, thanks in advance.

title: Does Portal 2 coop require a consistent connection?

text: I don't have a consistent connection and ping gets high on occasion. Can I still play Portal 2 coop, relying only on the saves in between levels or do I still have to be online 100% during the whole game?


title: Do any relics other than the Vault Hunter Relic boost Rare Item Chance?

text: With the preorder bonus I got the Vault Hunter Relic which gives +5% rare item chance. The problem with that is I have never and will never equip another relic unless it has a better rare item chance. So far (1/3rd of the way into playthrough 2) I've never seen another relic with + rare item chance. Are there any others, or am I going to be wearing this one forever?

It is the same clothing all court wizards use, but I need an non-enchanted version (preferably without using the console), so that I can enchant it myself. Has anyone come across any non-enchanted Hooded Mage's Robes? Can they even be found in a non-enchanted form?

title: How to resurrect players sustainably in Divinity: Original Sin?

text: The combat is difficultish, and my party members are dropping regularly. The only way I can find to resurrect them is with scrolls purchased in town, but I already bought the 4 that were there. Now what? How can I rez people when these scrolls run out? Some people in the past have said there is a witchcraft spell that can be bought from the Cyseal potion merchant or Arhu, but it's no longer there in recent versions ( that I can find ). At the rate I've been going, I will definitely run out of scrolls before I find the next city, and I'll be stuck with permadeath. What do I do?

title: Unexpected Blast in Call of Duty 4

text: I'm playing **Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare** , level No Fighting In The War Room. I read a lot of walkthroughs, but couldn't solve the problem. First of all, you start as Soap MacTavish, with your teammates: Captain Price, SSgt Griggs, and Cpl Miller. The latter is is not mentioned in any walkthorugh I saw. He is a real coward, and engages in almost no fight. Despite this, he gets killed no matter how I try to save his life. Anyway, I continued the level till I reached a corridor where crates blocked the road. There were two entries to my left and right, each leading to parallel side corridors. I entered each of them and killed every enemy. Oddly enough, neither Captain Price nor SSgt Griggs followed me. After that, killing all enemies in side corridors, I took a path leading to the main corridor (bypassing the wooden crates which blocked the road). At the moment I set foot on the passage joining the side corridor to the main one, an alarm set off. I sprinted to the main corridor, meeting Price & Griggs! They were running towards some giant door. No matter how fast I ran, just before entering the door, something exploded, and I was dead! This explosion is not mentioned in any walkthrough. I think it might be related to Cpl Miller's death, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

title: Would a monitor with more Hz and a better response time help my game?

text: I'm thirty-eight, and started gaming with a keyboard and mouse about two years ago. My reflexes will never be as sharp as the teenage whipper-snappers who pwn me, but would a 144 Hz gaming monitor with a 1 ms response time be likely to improve my game? Or am I too old to benefit from it, and better to just work on technique? Currently, I have a 60 Hz monitor with 6 ms response time. I play BF4 and DayZ. I've been eyeing up a gaming monitor (144 Hz, 1 ms), but it's $400, and I'm not sure that it would really be worth it for an old codger like me. **Update, March 2014** : I ended up buying a 144 Hz monitor, and cranked my video settings down to get 100+ frames per second. It hasn't made me a vastly better gamer, but I am getting higher scores. It has also made games perceptively more enjoyable, immersive, and easier to play, as games now react in real time, rather than behind a lag. I guess I didn't realise how just laggy my old monitor was until I tried a gaming monitor. For example, helicopter control is much easier, and I can maintain steadier flight paths and more accurate turns because I'm not constantly over-correcting for the visual lag. In driving simulators, the on-screen steering wheel moves in perfect synchronisation with the physical wheel in my hand, and I find myself having to re-learn corners. If you're wondering whether it is worth $400 to get this relatively slight improvement in gaming performance and experience, that would probably vary from person-to-person and from game-to-game. For me, the answer so far is yes.


title: How do I get the code for the locked door at the bottom of the Brain Scorcher?

text: In S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, when you go into the _Red Forest_ to turn off the _Brain Scorcher_ , you descend into a secret laboratory, which is known as _X-19_. When you're at the bottom and have turned off the Scorcher, before you trace your steps back up, there is a locked code door. Does anybody know if that door can be opened, what's behind it and where to get the code from?   To help your memories, next to it are also two... let's call them cooling towers. Both having a ladder that leads down to spiral stairs. One of them containing Burner anomalies, the other is just blocked. ![screenshot of the locked code door on the left](http://i.stack.imgur.com/wji8m.jpg) The door can be seen on the left side of the screenshot. Up on that scaffolding on the right is the button that you press to turn off the Scorcher. There is a second code door higher up with the code 342089 (which you get from the "Monolith soldier's PDA") that contains some supplies. That is **not** the one I am talking about. The code does **not** work here.


title: In KOTOR and other d20-based games, how does the damage roll work?

text: I've been investigating a few combat systems as of late to figure out how to develop my own for a personal project. One of the combat systems I've been focussing on has been the one in the KOTOR games. To my understanding behind the scenes it uses what is essentially the d20 system - which I have yet to really learn, mind you. So far I've made sense of attack rolls and saving throws but the damage roll is something I'm still not sure about. I spent some time looking around on the internet and got a lot of information about what the damage roll _is_ but not how damage is actually _calculated_ , which is what I care about. How exactly does rolling for damage work in KOTOR? More specifically, if a weapon has a damage of "5-12", how is that damage applied during combat?

title: Are Blackheart's cannons random?

text: After giving Blackheart the required amount of Doubloons, he fires 12 cannons at your enemies fort.

text: many gods have an attack progression that changes their attack speed. Kali for example has an attack progression of 1/.5/.5 where the last 2 hits have double attack speed but hit for half damage. the attack speed cap is 2.5x. Do god's progression system affect this?

title: Black Ops 2 is freezing

text: I have been having very bad issues with my Black Ops 2. First, it disconnected me from Live every time I tried, so I stopped playing it for about 4 months. That problem stopped, and now it keeps on freezing on the multiplayer match load screen. It works just fine on zombies and campaign. I have done everything I could find to fix it, but it doesn't work. I even got another XBox, and that didn't work. The disk is in perfect condition no scratches whatsoever, and it works just fine on my friends PS3.


title: Does a forbidden door stop thieves?

text: I currently have a set-up in my fortress involving a small entrance filled with traps and a trade depot connected to a moat with a drawbridge. I have an alternative entrance to the depot from within my fortress, so that I can restock while the bridge is up. The alternative entrance has one gap in which I have placed a door. Now I'm wondering, if I forbid that door, will this stop thieves? Likewise, I'd also like to know if I link this door up to a lever so that is it open when the drawbridge is up, can thieves open a mechanism-closed door?


title: How to keep mutalisks moving?

text: TeamLiquid wiki (http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Mutalisk) tells: > Due to their relatively slow acceleration, Mutalisks should be continually > moved at full speed even when there is no harm in sight - this allows them > to easily escape at full speed when defenders arrive. How to do that? I understand, you need to click continuosly "somewhere" to keep them "flying/moving", not only "flying/standing". But once you click any target they will shoot and stop. Isn't it? Or, immediately after 'shoot' command you need to stack another command "move away" with 'Shift'-click? Or without shift click?


title: How do you get a Hired Hand to pick up a specific item?

text: In this other question, I asked how best to use Hired Hands. Apparently, their best use is to carry things (with a side order of "they set off arrow traps" and "fortunately, they don't live long"). So: how do you force your Hired Hand to pick up the item you want, rather than the rock that they decided to carry instead? (Bonus question: if you're trying to get them to carry the Eggplant, how can you prevent them from splatting it on the landscape? Is it even possible?)


title: What is Griefing?

text: I previously asked what is Smurfing and got an explanation that it was a subset of griefing. So now this begs the question.... What is griefing? Is Griefing really the major classification of harassment to be used in all of gaming? I thought it got started in Second Life but it seems to have become a larger part of the lexicon used to describe all other forms of 'gaming douchebaggery'.


title: Is there any way to hide the juggernaut's location on a map?

text: In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, there are times when someone gets a juggernaut delivered to them (by getting it as a kill streak reward). But when someone has it on, you can see their location as a red diamond with a dot in the middle. I haven't gotten a juggernaut in any standard game modes, but with the community mode **infected** , there are games where you are juggernauts fighting strikers (on the dome map, to be more specific). The problem is, you can see everyone that is a juggernaut, even if you're the enemy. And that comes with a great disadvantage, because you can't hide from enemies. So, is there any way to mask your location on the map, or is it going to stay like that?


title: How to neutralise / eliminate Lydia Boyle without attracting any guards / party guests nearby

text: So... when you do the "Lady Boyle's Last Party" Mission, and you do not have shadow kill, and your given target is Lydia Boyle (the one in red), you will be led to music room. There, she will ask you to play a song on the piano. However, as the music room is open to guests and servants, once you kill her / knock her out, you will attract unwanted attention... how do you eliminate / neutralise her without attracting unwanted attention? (Let's say I have shadow kill tier 1. Even then, she won't turn to ash because she already noticed you. Am I right?)


title: Can Archon Beam Shoot Through Wall?

text: Archon beam is the right click stuff when you turned into archon as wizard. It definitely can when the wall is created by the monster. When it's a regular wall, the result is not clear. I can't see the monster. Sometimes I can't see the numbers popping out, either. I mean can anyone confirm this with reference? Note: Archon beam can also attack across ladders, etc.


title: Is it possible to control the hookblade "catch" when falling?

text: In previous AC installments, you could voluntarily fall when hanging - and then press a key to grab at a lower point. AC Revelations seems much the same, except that my hookblade keeps "catching" on things as I fall. This makes the process of descending a tall building take much longer than previous games. Can it be avoided, or is it just a nuance of this version?


title: Dreamcast Mag in PSOBB

text: I want to get a Dreamcast Mag on Blue Burst: ![Dreamcast Mag](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jBb2r.jpg) In the guide Episode 1 & 2 Mag Cell Combinations it says that you need: > Kit of Dreamcast,   >  (Mark 3 OR Master System OR Genesis OR Sega Saturn),   >  Lv 101 MAG, Character Lv 100+,   >  MAG Lv req fluctuates depending on character Lv. So according to this, you only need a Kit of Dreamcast and _one_ of the other System Mag Cells. But on some threads I read that this guide would be wrong, e.g. in this post: > You have to create a Mark 3 first, then a Master System, then a Genesis, > then a Saturn and finally a Dreamcast. So you will need 5 mag cells to do > it. Besides that I don’t know which of these claims is true (do you need 2 or 5 Cells?), I wonder if things might have changed with Blue Burst (as the guide, and maybe also the thread, are about Episode 1 & 2). Can someone confirm what exactly is needed to make a Dreamcast Mag in PSOBB?

title: System vs Game time settings?

text: Animal Crossing is a real time game in which things are very much progressed in 'one day at a time' measurements. The game will read your system time but it also has its own time. Is there any difference between changing the in-game time vs the system time to help go through the initial days? I am finding it common practice in this game to set your initial time back a bit to get through the tutorial sections faster so you can get into the game.


title: What are the different champion compositions and resulting playstyles to a 5v5 team?

text: Recently we've seen the "meta" open up to a degree. While it's still common to see an AD carry, support, jungler, AP carry, and tanky DPS, the champions and their roles have been broadened past just "top tier" champions. It is now acceptable to have an AP top and an AP mid, for example. Now, in addition to more champion options, we've begun to see teams start to synergize their team compositions for a certain playstyle. For example, I often see CLG.na go with a "frost comp", as they call it. This includes Janna, Ashe, and Sejuani in order to slow or freeze the enemies so they they can catch them out of position. The other two champions on their team are usually designed to burst down those caught champions that are caught, making an easy 5v4 win later. So, in reference to this "frost comp" and the fairly common "poke comp" and "aoe comp", what are some other champion compositions you have seen? What playstyles are neccessary and what method is required for it (i.e. catching someone in the "frost comp")? Does it seem to be fairly successful or just fun?


title: Will NPC villagers contribute to public works projects?

text: Isabelle hinted that villagers could donate to public works projects but that they probably won't succeed without my input. So I assume I'm definitely going to have to chip _some_ in for this stuff to happen, but when she says that does she mean other flesh and bone players can also donate, or will my NPC villagers also donate a few bells?

title: Where did this deadly lichen come from, and what can I do about it?

text: I recently went through quite a bit of effort to survive obtaining a key (fire trap in explosive gas room...). After obtaining said key, I was walking though the only hallway back to the vault on the level, and it was full of "deadly lichen" that had not been there earlier. I would like to get back to the vault - my potion of detect magic indicated that all the items inside the vault have benevolent magical auras. However, but I don't know how to get past this "deadly lichen", nor am I sure what's its effects on me might be. To test the effects, I used my wand of beckoning to pull a kobold over onto the lichen, and it immediately became "fatally poisoned" and died within a few turns, so I've determined that walking over it seems like a BAD option. So how can I get past the deadly lichen? As a bonus, I'm also curious how deadly lichen forms if anyone knows. It was in the key room, so it may just be part of an elaborate key trap, but I haven't seen this before if that's the case, and it seems a little mean for a depth 3 key room.

title: Does going to bed with a weapon increase my chance of survival?

text: Currently I'm at the point in Die2Nite where my town is basically about to be destroyed(170 defense vs. 255 zombies in the best case scenario). However, I'm determined to be the last man standing. While I already have my house filled with defensive items, I'm wondering if I should load up a battery launcher or some other weapon and take it with me to bed. Will it improve my chances for surviving through the evening?

text: The title says it all. However, I will explain. Are there two keys in the Cataclysm Collector's Edition box? One key to upgrade the account to play Cataclysm content. Another key that is used to retrieve the exclusive in-game pet only available with the purchase of the Collector's Edition?
