title: Can I copy "not-on-PSN" games from PC back to my Vita?

text: There was an odd "glitch" a while back where all PSP and PSX digital games were "authorized" to download on the PS Vita. They all work, but some aren't available normally such as Spyro and Crash. I downloaded several of these due to the glitch, and would like to keep them. I normally offload all my games to my PC and delete them from the Vita if I need more space on my memory card since I can copy them back over. But with these "unauthorized" (for Vita--I own these games) ones I'm not sure what happens if I copy to PC, delete and then try to copy them back. Will I be able to copy and play these games? I hope so, but I don't really want to try it myself.


title: Do both Exceptional Friend candles replenish simultaneously?

title: Will a Pokémon retain in-battle type changes when Mega Evolving?

text: Some moves change or add element typings to a Pokemon, such as Soak (changes the Pokémon to pure Water-type), Forest's Curse (Adds Grass-type) and Trick- or-Treat (Adds Ghost Type). If a Pokemon Mega Evolves after being affected by these moves, will it retain the changes made to it's type? What about Pokemon like Charizard (X-Mega) or Pinsir, that change type when Mega Evolving? Are they affected differently?

title: What it means to be massive: What benefits and disadvantages do StarCraft 2 units gain by being massive?

title: How do I beat the Adamantite Shell?

text: In the _Bravely Default_ demo there is a quest to defeat the rock-like monster in the forest. It is an Adamantite Shell with a high defense and the ability to cast reflect. ~~I've figured out how to get around the`Reflect` spell. `Reflect` only bounces one spell back so if I cast cure or some beneficial magic it will get bounced back to me, and I can hit it with `Blizzard` (or another water spell) in the next round.~~ But the problem here is that it has 3000 HP and a very high defense. Is there a way around that?

text: My dad has been complaining about how he has lost the blowpipe for all the darts he keeps looting from bodies saying he had it in one mission then he lost it and has never been able to buy a new one or find it in his equipment, i've even seen him loot sleeping darts and berserk darts from bodies but since he can't use them it's always saying it's full. When i saw him playing it on the weekend, where he is is apparently Edward got captured and some woman he liked died, when i saw my dad went to escape an assassin gave him a hidden blade to use during the escape however later on my dad had me help him locate some treasure and i found out he had no hidden blade. I am wondering, did the game totally glitch up causing my dad to loose both weapons?

title: Why are expected delivery times given as a range?

text: On the "Current job" screen in the Route Advisor, the expected delivery time is always given as a range, e.g. "Fri 21:50 - Sat 2:00". Why is that? I know the second time is the actual deadline and if you miss it, you fail the job, but what's the purpose of the first time? Is there a bonus (or penalty) for delivering the cargo _early_? I thought this was simply cosmetic, but I've noticed that high-priority delivery jobs tend to have a narrower time window, which I assume is meant to make the job more challenging, but in what way exactly?

Tali isn't available in ME1, so I guess I'll date Liara instead. I know about the picture in ME2, but is there any other effect? Knowing that I will keep Tali as my date in ME3? Am I better not dating anyone since I don't care much about trophies?

Where is the application data saved / how do I rid myself of this (now) unwanted app?

title: Staying neutral at high levels in Fallout 3

text: Here's the scenario: I'm going after the neutral achievements for Fallout 3. I'm currently about halfway to leveling up again -- this time to 20, which would get me the next achievement. I'm trying to avoid gaining or losing karma at _least_ until I level up again. I haven't done too many quests, oddly, mostly for fear of the karma gain/loss. Also, oddly, I haven't really explored much of the world. (I haven't even been to Minefield! I lied to Moira ... ) It looks like I'll need < 500 XP to get this next level and its corresponding achievement. After that, I can be good (or evil) as needed until I'm close to level 30. What are some places I can go, or quests I can do, which will have no effect on karma, but gain me enough XP so I can get this achievement and get on with the game? In order to help with this a bit, here are the quests (off the top of my head) that I've completed:   * Wasteland Survival Guide   * Power of the Atom   * Main storyline until I'm told to go find Dad in a vault   * Operation: Anchorage   * Mothership Zeta    * Reilly's Rangers   * Blood Ties   * Stealing Independence   * The Replicated Man Aside from locations needed for those quests, here are some of the other places I've already visited (and in most cases, cleared, if they were hostile):   * Museum of History (including Underworld and all other levels, all Lincoln artifacts retrieved)   * Rivet City   * Megaton (which is still standing)   * Arlington Library   * "Enough" of the metro to have gotten me through the portions of the storyline I've completed   * Only a few places in DC proper (those needed for the missions above)   * MDPL-13 power station (but not cleared, just "en route" to Mothership Zeta) Like I said, I just need a few hundred XP until I feel safe and comfortable continuing to do the real missions. :) I do have all the DLC, but don't feel like doing The Pitt nor Point Lookout just yet. **Edit:** To clarify, I'm either looking for side quests which have no karmic ramifications, or I'm looking for other sources of non-karmic XP. (In the latter case, most likely places to go clear of already-hostile creatures, such as feral ghouls or super mutants.) Anything that can non-karmically take me up a few thousand XP fairly rapidly to get me to level 20 where the achievement is. At that point, I can go back to doing whatever I want, because I already know how to balance it all out. (EG, I have a stockpile of scrap metal to hand Walter for free, a bunch of caps for church donations, a bunch of purified water for Carlos, and am not at all above breaking & entering & looting people's homes. :)

title: How does resetting quests for a guaranteed legendary interact with multi-player?

text: If you reset your quests and play the game all the way through to Diablo and kill him, you will get a guaranteed legendary from his death. That, when playing alone, is simple enough to understand. But how does it interact with other players who may or may not have also reset quests? Here are a few examples:   1. If Player A resets quests and Player B does not, and they both play through every quest together, does Player B get a guaranteed legendary?   2. Does the answer to the previous scenario change if Player B only joins during Act 4, and doesn't play through himself?   3. If Player A resets quests and joins a game in progress from Player B, who did not reset quests, in act 4, will Player A get a guaranteed legendary despite skipping 3 acts?   4. Does the answer to the previous scenario change if Player B _had_ reset quests and got this far on his own? What are the **exact** conditions required to get a guaranteed legendary?


title: Why is dragon worth more than a top turret?

title: Paladin, shield and healing. Which hand to use for those?

text: Playing the paladin build like in Skyrim. I've got a combination of heavy armor, but mainly my strategy is to be a self-healing tank. My base configuration is: - left hand shield - right hand mace/healing spell I've experienced, when I switch from mace to healing spell, that the swap is quick, but when I swap back from healing spell to weapon, it takes more time, sort-of looks like it's reloading both shield and weapon. Instead, if I swap healing spells with shield, it's a lot quicker on the left hand. It looks like that as long as I keep the weapon in the right hand fixed, it's smoother to swap between shield and healing on the left hand. Unfortunately I prefer to play this character more defensively and would like to swap the right hand weapon with spells. My understanding is that so far I won't be able to effectively do as I like. What's your experience with this? Cheers

If I switch to my weapon, kill some orks and wait some time it will work again.

(I also can't immediately find how to Denounce someone, but that's probably a different matter).


title: What is the minimum cost for alpha access?

text: Star Citizen has a link on their homepage that says "Reserve Your Alpha Slot." However, clicking it simply takes you to their store's main page, which has no information regarding which purchases grant you access to the alpha. The only information regarding the alpha that I can find is that the Aurora MR "does not include access to the Alpha and Beta of the game." Does this mean that all other purchases do? Also, if one makes a purchase that grants access to the alpha, does this also grant them access to the game once it's released, or will that cost extra?


title: Is it worthwhile to equip Rookies with upgraded gear?

text: I've reached July and have a capable squad of about 8 senior soldiers. As the missions get harder, however, I realize I need to have other trained personnel ready, and so I'm bringing Rookies along on some of the easier missions (I realize I probably should have rotated them more earlier in the game!) My main soldiers are all equipped with Carapace Armor at this point, and I'm just starting to move from Laser Weapons to Light Plasma. Is it worth equipping the Rookies I bring into missions with better armour and weapons than their starting gear, given how weak and inaccurate they are?


title: Is it possible to install/run 16-bit games on Win 7 32-bit?

text: Forgive me if this question has an obvious answer that I clearly am not aware of. So I have a game and others that are from the Windows 95 era, and when I click "Install" I get this message: > The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows > you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you > need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then > contact the software publisher. < I have Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium. I'm well aware that the 64-bit version is apparently the way to go to play old games. I've tried going to the Compatibility Mode (Windows XP Service Pack 2) and "Run with 256 colors" but there are too many files on the CD-ROM that I'm not sure how many could be switched compatibility, not like that would help. I've gotten another Windows 95 game to work (although it let me install the game in the first place which was awesome) by using the d3drm.dll to fix the crashing that happened when running the game. So my basic question is...are Windows 7 32-bit users doomed to never be able to play old games like that? I don't want to go buy Windows 64-bit or Premium...ain't nobody got time for that. Is there any way at all to get a patch or anything that would let me play old games without getting Windows 64-bit? Thanks


title: Why don't we see more Veigar in League of Legends?

text: I recently watched Curse.NA defeat AL at the ggClassic. In my opinion it was Nyjacky playing Veigar who really made the difference. Once he got to "nuke status" with his DFG and just enough AP he was able to burst down from 100% to 0% any single champ on the other team, or damn near close. The game changed dramatically once Veigar was at his full his full potential as before this it was actually pretty close. So why don't we see more Veigar play? I know that there are some hard counters to him both in lane and in end-game situations, but I still don't know why for example he couldn't be saved for last pick. Especially for teams like Curse who have such a dominant player like Nyjacky. Here are some stats from elobuff.com ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/qrgpE.png) As you can see Veigar is in the bottom half of played AP champions and is 69th overall amongst all champions.

title: When to use Leona's ult?

text: I have seen players use Leona's ult, Solar Flare, both to initiate and to trap an enemy champ for the kill during team fights. Less often but still regularly, I also see it used to escape from team fights. As a new player who is just picking up Leona, I'm wondering when using the ult is appropriate--is there some context I should be looking at, and how frequently should I be using it (given its relatively short cooldown)?

text: Biotic Charge for the Vanguard class lets you leap very quickly into distant enemies, and I've never not been able to perform the move on a target as long as I had a line-of-sight and my view was trained on them. Is there a maximum distance to the charge, or can I safely assume that if I can target an enemy, I can hit them with a charge?

text: The Grox are remarkably unpleasant, and will hound you on your way to the galactic core and back, and then possibly go into a nearly-infinite war with you, being extremely hard to eradicate at 2400 planets. I would like to meet them. I also would like to not have to drop whatever I'm doing to defend a colony against a Grox attack every 5 minutes afterward. Can I balance my relationship with the Grox so that they will never attack me, but without allying with them and making the rest of the galaxy attack me or having to travel all the way back to the center of the galaxy again and again to shine my happy ray on them? Failing that, can I reach the galactic core without them becoming aware of my existence, eliminating the problem in an unsatisfying way?

text: Several times throughout the games, the PC is readily identified by NPCs as a Vault Hunter without so much as a word between them before-hand. Vault Hunters are also generally treated as if they were somehow superior to your average adventurer. The latter is further reinforced in the trailer for the new Telltale Games series, where Marcus tells a couple aspiring adventurers that they'll only get themselves killed in whatever they are trying to do because they are not Vault Hunters. Vault Hunters seem to come from all walks of life - especially the DLC characters. So far, here's who we've got.   * **Brick** (Berzerker): Large and in charge, he came to Pandora to find his missing sister.   * **Lilith** (Siren): I can't find much in the way of specifics on her background in a cursory glance, but apparently there's a geek side to her as we discover in Tiny Tina's expansion.   * **Mordecai** (Hunter): Professional sharpshooter since he was 17. Has a real attachment to his pet bird-of-prey, Bloodwing, which I'm not sure was ever really explained.   * **Roland** (Solder): Again, can't find anything in a quick wiki glance, but he's obviously got some military background.   * **Axton** (Commando): Former Dahl military. Came to Pandora seeking fame, fortune, and combat.   * **Maya** (Siren): Raised and exploited by the Order of the Impending Storm, Maya has come to Pandora in search of knowledge about her background as a Siren.   * **Salvador** (Gunzerker): A freedom fighter, native to Pandora, who found out about the Vault while interrogating a Hyperion soldier who had come to take over his hometown.   * **Zer0** (Assassin): Professional assassin with an overall mysterious past. We don't even know for sure that he's human.   * **Gaige** (Mechromancer): A child prodigy who was expelled from school due to an incident involving her latest creation, Deathtrap. While running away from home, she stowed away on the same train that carried Roland, Axton, Maya, Salvador, and Zer0 to Windshear Waste.   * **Krieg** (Psycho): Krieg is, well... a Psycho. With a sort-of stalker-y crush on Maya. Yeah, I think that's about it. The only thing any of these people seem to have in common is that, at one point or another, they decided that hunting for the Vault seems like something they need to do with their life. So, what is it about Vault Hunters that really sets them apart? What is it that makes them stick out? What keeps everyone from assuming that anyone can be a Vault Hunter?


title: How is Portal height in the nether determined?

text: This question was spurred by watching someone creating a portal on a hill in the overworld, and spawning above a sea of lava. I thought the two co- ordinates were related somehow. In short does the Y co-ordinate of your overland portal effect the nether portal Y co-ordinate?


title: Change difficulty to hard in The Witcher

text: I want to change the difficulty in The Witcher 1 to hard in an existing save. I found this: http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Difficulty_settings_mod But it doesn't show what the settings would be for hard, only easy and normal.


title: What is this object in the water?

text: What is this object in Make No Wonder? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7AcA0.png) I have built a bridge to one but I can't seem to collect anything from it.


title: Are there any coupons/codes/vouchers in the COD: Ghosts PS4 manual?

text: I'm thinking about buying the game used, and there are a few that sell without the manual. Does the original games comes with anything extra in the manual, that's not in the PDF?


title: My Xbox headset just died. What are my options?

text: After 2 and a half years, the headset that came with my Xbox finally died. So what are my options to replace it? Can I plug in any USB Headset in the USB ports? Could I use the kinect microphone for chat? How can I get another headset?


title: The Witcher: turn off combat signals?

text: I started the game on Normal difficulty. The manual says: Easy – perfect for novice players (not only of The Witcher). At this level, game elements are introduced gradually. Opponents cause less damage and Geralt gains experience more quickly. **During combat, additional signals help you click your way through fluid attack sequences.** Medium – recommended for experienced gamers who are new to The Witcher. **Attack sequences are not assisted** and click intervals are shorter. Opponents have standard attributes and Geralt gains experience at a standard rate. Hard – for highly experienced players. Monsters and other opponents are significantly more powerful, click intervals are brief, and Geralt gains experience more slowly. At this level, selected opponents cannot be defeated without resorting to alchemy. But I still get those red sword icons on my cursor to show me when to attack. How do I turn that off? :/


title: Where is the "Sleeping in the Elements!" shard?

text: In Scribblenauts Unlimited, in the Metaforest stage, there is a shard goal called "Sleeping in the Elements!". The description is: > This isn't a comfortable place to sleep! Create something better for the > backpacker! I've looked everywhere on this stage, with and without the special vision toggled. Where can I find the backpacker?


title: How much food does it take to get a dragon to level 15?

text: I want to raise some dragons to level 15 as it's the highest level I can reach. How many treats (total) does it take to get a dragon from level 1 to 15?


title: How do I quicksave on the PS3?

text: Saving in Skyrim on the PS3 seems to be very complicated (Menu --> Save ... etc). This is frustrating, especially in Dungeons. Is there any quicksave / fastsave feature on the PS3?


title: Is it possible to save Val?

text: The Walking Dead game also made claims about a game tailored by our choices, but ultimately just provided the ILLUSION of choice. Is that the case here? Is it possible for those missiles to hit their target at the end? If I had chosen to kill Val, would Holiday have actually gone through with it? Can Val actually survive the game, or will she always die somehow?


title: How do I get rid of mud, vomit, blood and other contaminants?

text: Due to a slightly miscalculated water-feature, I have a muddy dining room. The dwarves don't seem overly bothered, but I can't help but feel that it's not doing the engravings justice. How can I remove the mud from the floor of my dining room?


title: How to complete Chapter 4 in Mafia 2?

text: The mission objective at the start of the chapter, when I get up at Joe's apartment, is to "meet Joe at Freddy's with a gun and lockpicks". I have the guns, my ammo is full, I have the lockpicks. However, the cutscene just doesn't load ANYWHERE inside Freddy's. I Googled it, it seems to be normal, and start immediately when we enter Freddys. I can also see Joe and the other man sitting in Freddy's. I walk up to them. Nothing happens. Is this a bug?


title: Do I really score more for murdering everyone and hiding their bodies?

text: In most stealth games, the game rates you as having done the best job if you get in and out without anyone being suspicious, and without killing anyone. _Mark of the Ninja_ is no different - there's a score bonus for being undetected, and a score bonus for making it through an entire level without making a kill. However, there are also large score bonuses for murdering people in particularly brutal fashion. For instance, consider a vent kill:   * 600 points for the kill (a "Prowling Spider")   * 250 points for hiding the body (automatic, I drag him into the vent) If I avoid him instead, though, I just get +400 at the end of the level, plus if I manage to do the entire level perfectly I might get +3000, but with 20 or more guards per level, this works out to 150 or fewer points per guard. Stacked on top of this, I could have gotten "Undetected" (+200) by hiding in the room with him previously, and/or "Distracted" (+150) for getting him to look the other way by breaking a light for example. These bonuses can occur either way, though, so they're not useful to this discussion. That leaves us with 850 points for a kill (or even 650 in the worst case where I don't get "fancy" about it and just stab him through the neck while his back is turned) versus ~550 for leaving him undisturbed. It seems to me like the best idea is to murder everyone and hide their bodies. Is this the case, or are there other bonuses/points I can get from being especially sneaky and not very stabby?


title: Non-usable magic items

text: I beat the game on normal, and I have a lot of magic items in my inventory (where potions are found) and cant find anything to do with them (example: Clever dice of invasion). Obviously they have some use considering they have magical properties such as intelligence and so forth. What im wondering is do they enhance my stats by sitting in my inventory or are they a craft material later on nightmare mode and beyond. what do i do with them?


title: Is it worth clearing the map in Anomaly Warzone Earth?

text: So far I have been playing AWE by clearing the levels of all towers (I completed only the first few levels though). And although it was not difficult to play that way so far, I wonder if it's actually worth doing since the amount of money gained this way is miserable, levels get quite longer and I think I could have completed all the levels so far without destroying all the towers but by just passing through the "easiest route". Probably there's an impact on the final score but by "worth doing" I was thinking of something like level/vehicle unlocks. And also if one gains more noticeable amounts of money by destroying stronger turrets later in the game (since in the first few levels destroying all towers meant gaining barely enough gold to buy one more cheapest vehicle)?


title: Are all PSN PSP games compatible with PS Vita?

text: It is well known the PS Vita is not backwards compatible with any UMD-based PSP games, as it uses a different, not compatible storage media. Sony also confirmed that PSP games purchased through PSN's PlayStation Store will be compatible with PS Vita. My question is: are all PSN PSP games compatible with PS Vita? If not, which games are specifically NOT compatible with Vita (preferably a list)? Thanks!


title: Graphics problem on Chrome

text: Candy Box 2 looks normal when I play it on Internet Explorer, but I can't access Desert Fortress. When I try to play it on Google Chrome, this happens: ![bugs ?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/DgjDk.png)


title: Is there an alien in the area 51 missions in GTA San Andreas?

text: I want to know if this is just internet myth or reality; I've read that there are aliens in the underground desert base in San Andreas, that you need night vision to see them, etc., but have never confirmed this. I've finished San Andreas once and I haven't seen any aliens, but maybe I have missed something?


title: How do I run Borderlands in windowed mode?

text: Is there any way to run Borderlands in a window, or even better in a border- less full-screen one? I can only see options for changing the full-screen resolution in the options menu, so I'm hoping I just missed something.


title: How can I delete local content from a game not in my list in Steam?

text: I played the free weekend for Call of Duty Black Ops and I decided not to buy it. However, now I have a folder taking up 8 GB of my SSD space in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty black ops`. The game is not listed on my game list in steam (where I could right-click and select "delete local content") Is it safe to delete that folder directly? Is there another folder I could delete to recover more space? Is there a way to do it from Steam (this would be preferred)?


title: Is there an 'Endless mode' in Plants vs Zombies 2?

text: I am unable to find the endless mode in PVZ 2. Did they remove it in favor of the turn based challenge mode, or can it be unlocked somehow?


title: Does Griswold's Worn Edge have special use?

text: The ingredients for the Herding Staff and the Herding Staff itself all have flavour text and a specific purpose. Rakanishu's blade is a blade gained from the Shrine of Rakanishu event in the Dahlgur Oasis and is used for the achievement Bashanishu for which you must hurt Bashiok using Rakanishu's Blade. Is there any special purpose to Griswold's Worn Edge which can be found in the Old Ruins in Griswold's smithy or is it simply a reference to Griswold the blacksmith from Diablo? ![This weapon is quite poor](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IWZVy.jpg)


title: What does Wirt's Bell do?

text: I came across a vendor, `Squirt The Peddler`, in act II that sells: **Wirt's Bell** for **100,000** Gold. What does that bell do and is it worth it? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/94Xyq.jpg)


title: How do I get the Sand Hawk SMG?

text: On Borderlands 2, what quest gives the Sand Hawk? And if so, do I need any DLC to get the mission, if it is given by a mission.


title: Difference between plasmids and gene tonics?

text: Plasmids and gene tonics appear to both come in a bottle and function the same way. Is there a difference between the two?


title: Should I use a headset or a desktop mic for PC gaming?

text: My old gaming headset has broken and I need a new solution for various multiplayer PC games that have voice chat. I would prefer to use my Sennheiser HD555 headphones for sound (way better quality than any gaming headset), so I was thinking about getting some sort of usb desktop microphone instead. How do desktop microphones compare to headsets for active gaming purposes? I'm a bit concerned that the desktop mic will pick up extra noise compared to a headset mic.


title: How to be a good sniper?

text: I recently bought Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and with my most loved classes I end up having a K:D ratio of 2:1 or 3:1 almost every game. But when it comes to playing as a sniper I just get to 1:1 ratios. I usually play a bit kamikaze style, much running, precise shooting and always surprising the enemy. When trying to play as a sniper (and I really like being a sniper) I end up getting shot half of the time. Even when I try to lay down my kamikaze intentions and look for a good spot I either end up laying somewhere and nobody comes across my way or I am kind of in the middle of a world war. Also the enemies always seem to see me very quickly. My aiming besides that is actually pretty good by the way. Is it just my incapability of finding the right spot for hiding? Are there some special things I have to pay attention to?


title: What happens if you enter an alliance with the Papacy?

text: So, I have the delightful pleasure to marry off my non-heir son. One of the options is a courtier in the Papacy with less-than-admirable attributes. Still, it sound like a fun thing to do. Has anyone tried this? Is it any different from any other alliance? I imagine that the Pope would attempt to bugger me into joining any of his little disputes ... and that he'll likely not give much help in return. (Plot twist! It's actually the legitimized bastard daughter of the Pope himself and some lowborn promiscuous lady.)


title: Empire Earth 1 problem when load map

text: I have a problem with Empire Earth 1. From last week when I start the game, the intro video works fine as does the main menu. However when the game starts to create the world (load map) it take some time, the game starts and all players including me are defeated! When I load a saved game it works fine and I can restart the game and start from the beginning. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?   * OS - Windows 7 ultimate 32   * Nvidia Geforce GT 8600


title: How effectively does your squad use grenades?

text: Reading the answers to this question have me a _little_ wary about investing in grenades for my squadmates. Your squad never had access to grenades in the first 2 games, so I'm unsure as to whether or not it's a power worth investing in for those squadmates who can use them. Do you need to micromanage grenade use (like Stasis in ME1), or will squadmates use them as long as you have "Squadmate Power Use" for them turned on? I so far haven't been micromanaging my squad as much as I did in the previous game (though I'm only on Hardcore right now, not Insanity), and if I need to heavily micro the grenade powers, I'm not sure I want to invest in them at this point. Will squadmates actively use grenades to try to push enemies out of cover, stagger Guardians with shields, or blow up Engineer turrets, or are they just kind of haphazard with them? For example, the radius on Sticky Grenades is fairly low, so will Garrus take that into account or not?


title: Do I get full damage on my abilities if the animations fall behind the activations?

text: I have a Sith Sorcerer, and I've noticed that if I activate Force Lightning immediately after casting Lightning Strike (as soon as the casting bar fills but before the actual animation completes), I can get almost halfway through the cast bar before the actual animation starts (because it's still finishing the Lightning Strike animation). When this happens, does my Force Lightning still deal all it's ticks of damage?


title: Are the bonuses from Silent Killer cumulative?

text: Are the two bonuses from Basic and Aced cumulative, or does the Aced level list the total bonus damage? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hfNs3.png) With both levels, will I have +30% or + 45% damage?


title: How can I avoid Sigma's sucking-in-rocks attack in Mega Man X 4?

text: I've got the majority of the final Sigma fight down to an art with Zero except for Sigma 3 when he does the attack where the big Sigma head spawns in the bottom left corner and sucks in rocks (I can post a video later if necessary). When this attack starts I know if I can get to the top right corner and stay there I can avoid all damage, but getting up there I often take damage from the rocks being inhaled, and this tactic also completely forfeits my ability to deal damage (though I can just wait for the exhale attack which is much easier to work with). Bonus points for strategies that also work with X, but I was having this trouble with Zero. It seems to be luck based, unlike Sigma's other 2 forms, but if there is any way to avoid him performing this attack _at all_ that would be an even better hint.


title: What are 'Air Support Units', and what do they do?

text: I won my last game in atWar (for the first time!), and now I have a bunch of shiny SP to spend on some upgrades. Most of them have pretty straightforward descriptions (stealth units can't be seen on the map, for example), but there's one that doesn't really tell you what it does. ![Air Support](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MHq6r.png) > Unlocks Air Support units (f.e. Sentry plane) Now I've tried Googling it, but all that turns up are hits to strangely empty pages on the game's official forums that don't appear to have any threads at all in them. Anybody know what air support does?


title: What year did Skyrim begin

text: I am currently in the year 4E 202 the 26th of some month? What was the beginning year, and how much "game time" has passed?


title: How can I get easy Plane kills in Battlefield 3?

text: I am now level 10 on battlefield 3, but have yet to get any plane points. I can fly fine, but without the first unlock - Flares. The first time someone locks missiles on to me I'm a deadman flying. I've machine gunned tanks, planes, but been very unsuccessful, they dont die. I even flew into another plane: It counted as a kill for me! Despite this I am currently on 10/300 to unlocking flares. And flares still only keep me alive longer, allowing me to machine-gun more. It would be nice if I could get some heat seekers myself. Currently I take off, and someone else will either shoot me down before I leave the runway, or take me out in the air. Sometimes someone will lock on from ground, and down I go. I have no chance of killing something, as it takes too long. How can I rack up the 3-5 kills I need to unlock flares so that I can live a bit longer?


title: How up to date is the Android version of Tiny Tower, compared to the iOS version?

text: Looking at friends (with Apple devices) screenshots of Tiny Towers, there are small differences between the iOS version and the my version - the most obvious being star icons to indicate dream job assignments. Roughly how far behind is the Android version? How long ago did these stars start appearing in the iOS version? And what other features is the Android version lacking?


title: What are the pros and cons of a client state in Rome 2: Total War

text: Question speaks for itself. When being _or_ having a client state, what are the pros and cons? Or, more to the point: what exactly does it _do_. Additional questions:   * Can you order your client state to do things for you?   * Can a client state break its client status with you and attack you?   * Do you get any other benefits except the fee per turn (which is meager in my opinion).


title: What's the difference between a Battle Tag and a Real ID?

text: This is the only answer I could find. Is this limited to just seeing the real name? https://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5051975802 Also, why do my friends keep asking for my realid? Are there any added benefits?

title: Civ 5 - How do i enable world wrap on a fractal or pangea map (not world builder)

text: How do i enable world wrap because i always spawn on the opposite side of the map than my teammate. Is there a mod or something? I heard using ige (In game editor) could work? (Instructions please if its to complicated)


title: In Soul Calibur 4 for PS3, there is an option in the menu to "Install game data to the HDD". Is this the whole game to the HDD?

text: I clicked it and it's going kind of slow, it is at 9% after a couple minutes, so I know it's not just the save data. It seems to be going at about the speed it would take to copy as many GB as the whole disc, to the HDD. What does this option do? Can I play the game without having the disc in? Or, what is the benefit of doing this?


title: Do you get a bill of sale when you buy a horse in Skyrim?

text: Do you get a bill of sale when you buy a horse in Skyrim when using the Horses for Followers mod? Because I don't, and I read it is necessary to make your follower ride his or her horse.


title: IO: do Spirits deal damage to hero without releasing its life energy in a burst during initiation?

text: I've been playing **IO (guradian wisp)** for a while. Recently I visited _playdota.com_ and I was quite confused when I found out the mechanism behind its skill **_Spirits_** :   * **Io summons 5 ancient Spirits over the course of 4 seconds; the Spirits dance around Io in a circle to protect him. If an enemy hero moves close enough to touch a Spirit, the Spirit releases its life energy in a burst, damaging all enemies in a 300 area of effect. Non hero units only take minor damage upon touching a spirit and do not cause them to explode.** I remember **initiating the spirits** when an enemy was quite close to me but had I actually **dealt any damage to the enemy before the 5 spirits were all summoned**? During the 4seconds initiation/summoning time, no spirit seems to "release its life energy in a burst" when encounters an enemy hero.


title: Is there a reliable way to find which Diving Goggles I've missed?

text: So I'm working on the Dive Master achievement and my Hero panel lists me at 33/37. I've been following this guide, and am pretty certain I've completed them all, except for the bugged one in Metrica Province. How can I find out which Dive points I've missed? Or do I just have to go through them all again? Have any been added in recent updates, such as new ones in Southsun Cove?


title: How do I get to these "unreachable" places in Viaduct?

text: Playing in the koth_viaduct map, I've often found Engineers building their nests in apparently unreachable spots, like these roofs: ![Unreachable 1](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ghZ3C.jpg) or this catwalk here: ![Unreachable 2](http://i.stack.imgur.com/p5Sii.jpg) How do they get there?


title: What attacks are considered to be Incoming Projectiles?

text: On _playdota.com_ I've read that   1. Incoming projectiles before **windrun** is activated will not be evaded.   2. AM, QOP, etc. can dodge incoming projectiles with blink. **So I'm wondering what it actually meant by incoming projectiles?** Is ranged attack (missile) considered incoming projectile? What spells are considered to be incoming projectiles in DotA?


title: How do I roller-skate?

text: How do I get my roller-skater to skate? I've tried forward, back, forward, back, but she just won't move! I am playing this through the Wii's Virtual Console, which (oddly enough) uses the Commodore 64 version of California Games, rather than the NES version.


title: How can I change casual clothing in Mass Effect 2?

text: I watched a video on YouTube and it was a romance video in how to romance Jacob in Mass Effect 2. The female Shepard has a black and gold long dress on. I would like to know how to get it. Do you need a DLC or do you just find it randomly?


title: What are the main differences between the Flare Gun and the Detonator?

text: The item descriptions don't give away much, and the only difference, on paper I can see is that you can actually Detonator jump (alt fire with Detonator). What are the main differences between the two weapons? Is there something I'm missing here?


title: Is there any fix for blocks above y-128 not being visible with a >16x texture pack?

text: I recently discovered that, from below y-level 128, I couldn't see any blocks above y:128. After some experimenting, I found that the cause was the 64x texture pack I was using. With any texture pack larger than 16x, I cannot see blocks above y:128. Is there any fix for this? I am using Optifine 1.4.5 HD U D3 to provide the enhancements necessary for a >16x texture pack.


title: I'm finding Brutal: Paws of Fury very hard, what am I doing wrong?

text: I bought Brutal: Paws of Fury about a year ago, but put it away because it was too damn hard to beat the game (I only got to level 3 by mind-numbingly blocking all the time and inserting a punch per minute or so). Is there any real strategy as to how I should handle the game? Is there a way to make it more humane and let me have at it from time to time, instead of just getting beat up every time? Are there cheats to lower the chaos-whirling attacks of the opponents (just so that they are doable)?


title: Inaccurate GPS location

text: My phone doesn't have very good gps and sometimes I find myself x meters away from location where I actually am. I'm usually using the phone data connection to Internet and when I can I turn WiFi on. I'm also using one application to get extra gps data. **How can I make my position in game to be all time accurate even when I have bad quality gps?**


title: Where to find a "good" FIFA online community?

text: Currently I am playing a lot of Head2Head games but it is a little frustrating, since you cannot select the opponent you are playing against. This has the advantage of being truly competitive but has the downside, that your opponent might   * be laggy, which drastically reduces the fun you get out of the game,   * just fools around once you are leading with two goals or more. All in all it simply isn't that much fun playing someone you don't know, since you cannot flame or anything^^. All this (and more) made me look for a FIFA community where leagues and cups are organized. Where you can rely on opponents that really are giving everything to win the game, have a good internet connection without any latencies etc. I know that leagues can be joined within FIFA but all public leagues are just dead I'd imagine you pretty much end up with deficiencies listed above... Having all that said here comes the question: Is there a FIFA (for PC) online community which organizes leagues and cups? I heavily googled but could not find a site that meets my expectations.

title: Is the 'Heaven' in Miner's Heaven meant literally?

text: I've installed the Miner's Heaven mod for Minecraft 1.7.2 (Forge). Finally, after ~~methodically exploring every dungeon in the game~~ cheating one in _after_ methodically exploring every dungeon I could find, I managed to get my hands on a portal igniter. I placed my diamond block, lit it up and _boom_ , I had a portal. Stepping through the portal, no matter _where_ in the overworld I place one, results in me landing directly in cobblestone and suffocating. I tried a hundred blocks away from where I first placed it, then a few hundred blocks away, then a few thousand blocks away, and then as far as the far lands. I keep going straight to Miner's Heaven, literally. On me, I had:   * Some telepads   * A telepebble   * An angel ring from extra utilities   * Misc IC2 mining supplies So I tried alternating / dropping what was in my inventory (the telepebble saved me from death until the last try, when I went in my birthday suit). Attempts to mine my way out of wherever it sent me weren't successful. It's like I was sent into the middle of a _very_ big rock. Is this a known glitch? Punishment for bringing in an igniter from creative mode so I could test my mod pack? Are certain things in inventory supposed to cause weird behavior (e.g. the crystal dimension removed all your stuff). I've run out of things to try, what else can I do to get this mod to work like it's (apparently) working for everyone else?


title: Can I get the "Use Item" achievement in Groove Coaster without paying money?

text: Taito's _Groove Coaster_ for iOS has an achievement called "Use Item" which you get for simply using an item on a level. Items are expendable powerups that make levels slightly easier.

title: How can I unlock all campaigns in HOMM 3?

text: I have Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete. I'd like to play the initially locked campaigns that get unlocked after you beat the entire available list. Is there a way to do it without beating the entire list, e.g. by using some 3rd party unlocker, obtaining a saved game, etc.? And if so, where can I get that tool/saved game/whatever?


title: Stopping or at least slowing down the Draw

text: In my Madden history I usually have stout defensive play, but in this years release (Madden 12) I am having a lot of trouble with shotgun formation draw plays. I just can't seem to stop online opponents from gaining at least four yards per carry. Even if I know the play is coming, I can't seem to slow them down. I am using a 3-4 defense (Ravens, Steelers, Packers, etc). I pinch my D-Line and user a LB that is the QB spy while running 2-Deep man coverage. Occasionally if I sense the Draw play I can hit the hole quickly with the LB and attempt to make a play in the backfield, but it seems like most of the time my lineman and linebackers just get manhandled. Does anyone have any advice to help stop or slow down the draw play? Formations, coverage assignments, user position selection, etc.


title: How does damage calculation in Final Fantasy 12 work?

text: I've just started playing Final Fantasy 12, and I got to the point where Balthier and Fran join the party. I looked over their stats and saw that Balthier only has 6 attack power, whereas Vaan and Fran both have closer to 20. Balthier has no other skills useful skills when you first get him, so he's really only capable of attacking. He does have a 2-handed rifle, and I noticed later that those tend to have much lower attack power than bows or swords or other items. Are these weapons just bad, or is there something I don't know about how they work? Bows require arrows like rifle require bullets, and bows have much higher damage than rifles. A general overview of how damage is calculated in general would suffice, but a focus on the above confusing circumstances would be even more useful.


title: Where are the ancient artifacts in Eufloria?

text: The Playstation 3 version of _Eufloria_ adds "ancient artifacts" to some asteroids, which you must zoom in to find. Are these artifacts on fixed asteroids in fixed levels, or are they randomly distributed? If their level is fixed, what missions can they be found in, and if not randomly placed, on which asteroids? (To avoid further spoilers, I'd recommend identifying the levels by number rather than name, e.g. I believe I found the first artifact in 1-3.)


title: Does the Name Engraved Ring help or hinder general Coop?

text: Ok so I understand the mechanic of the name engraved ring; to help players connect over a wider spectrum of Soul Memory. But I was wondering if it hinders players who aren't wearing the ring? Eg, if I was wearing the ring, and mt friend wasn't, and we were within Soul Memory range of each other (without the ring) could he still connect to me?

title: Imperial levels time increases?

text: I notice in campaign mode there are kill streaks and multi-kills. If I get a kill streak notification I notice that if I kill another enemy without dying my next kill isn't marked as part of the kill streak. It seems like kill streak is actually a delayed multi-kill. Is this correct?

text: I was hanging out with a friend who has Pokemon X/Y, and we wanted to trade. We were registered as friends and had interacted in-game via both internet and Streetpass before, but we weren't able to see each other. Since we were at his house and he was connected to the internet, I tried connecting to the internet, too, and that worked. Can you not connect to another player via Streetpass if they are connected to the internet? Or was this a fluke?

text: Is there some special video setting so you can spot invisible, cloaked or burrowed units, like Observers, DTs, or Infestors easier or better? I find it very difficult to see where those invisible units are, but there are some pros like MKP that can spot an Observer that does not even move. Could it have to do with their graphics setting?


title: What book drops from Demons?

text: I finally arrived in hell (deep underground) for the first time. When I arrived there i fought two demons, separated by a thin layer of ash blocks. Even though it didn't do much damage, I attacked them repeatedly with the viletorn, and finally one died. As the loot fell, my mouse was on it, and I saw an item that seemed to be called: Book of Demon in orange text. Was I just imagining things? I tried to jump down, but was quite too high and died on falling without reaching the book. Can someone tell me if a book like that really exists?

I understand that there is an arcade type mode for playing with friends that aren't as experienced but has there been any information released about the 'normal' mode?


title: What can I do about mouse 'lint'?

text: I play FPS's with a simple optical mouse that has little 'feet' at the base. I find that the feet regularly pick up 'lint' which changes the movement of the mouse, hence throwing off my aim.

Are there any simple solutions or is this a very unusual problem?

title: Is it possible to get a Game Over in Maniac Mansion by taking too long to rescue Sandy?

text: In the recent playthrough of Maniac Mansion done by The Game Grumps, Danny suggested that the base game, outside of meltdown timers and such, is on a **timer** that will result in a **Game Over** if it expires. However, I was under the impression that, while most cutscenes are indeed on timers that count in real-time, and the final cutscene implies an imminent loss, that **it is not possible to lose by waiting too long** , and instead the game will simply "run out" of cutscenes and continue indefinitely afterward. Which is the truth?

I never seem to have enough potions on me - I buy as many as I can afford, but by the last few floors, I'm all out, and my characters are all nearly out of their green bar (magic points?). So I have to leave the dungeon, and start all over again, and ultimately end up in the same situation. Can you offer any advice? What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to leave and re-enter to resume where I left off?

text: Wall jumping is an unlockable ability that allows you to, well, jump off walls you're facing towards. As far as I understand you need to jump up to the wall, depress the jump button, press it again and no matter how long that second press is you jump quite a few ways off the wall. I can't seem to be able to climb any height with it. ...except you _can_ wall-jump. What gives? Has it changed in the new localized version?

title: Is running speed determined by distance, coins or score?

text: As a strategic motive, I would like to speed up less, but I don't know how running velocity is calculated?   * Is it fixed to the meters run, so not much can be done about it?   * Or to coins, so I could collect less coins if my primary goal was to maximize distance or score?   * Or is the speed caused by your score, or perhaps something else altogether? P.S. Found some helpful tips on how to temporarily slow down here: Does anything slow down or reset running speed?

title: Does filling your reputation bar with paragon prevent you from filling it with renegade?

text: If I have played through the game and done a good job of responding to all the opportunities to gain reputation and paragon points then my bar will probably be fairly full and I might have 2 or 3 tick mark levels of Paragon points. Let's assume that when I play through again in new game+ I want to try the renegade path. My reputation is transferred from the last play through, does this mean I will still have a full Paragon bar? If so, will I be restricted from filling my renegade bar somehow or will I encounter more "+reputation" opportunities to that I could have both the P&R bars full simultaneously?


title: How do I keep my fish from dying?

text: Commander Shepard is a busy spectre. Running around the galaxy, shooting reaper scum, and trying to save the day. So I don't begrudge her buying some fish to at least make her quarters look a little nicer. But at the same time, Shepard spends so much time flitting about, that... well, let's just say that Earth isn't the only place where Organic Life is dying out. In Mass Effect 2, Shepard could eventually enlist Kelly Chambers to feed Shep's fish (she even returns them when you run into her on the Citadel!), but Kelly's no longer part of the Normandy's crew, and so Shepard's aquarium lies fallow. Is there some way to automatically feed the fish? Is there no hope for these piscine soldiers? Is there no way to prevent them from dying every time Shep goes on a mission without feeding them? Forget Palavan or Earth, think of the Fish!

Then it often happens that two trains get stuck somehow.

title: Open Broadcaster Software compressing video size

text: Anyone knows what are the optimal settings for Video Recording using Open Broadcaster Software? Keeping acceptable 720p or 1080p quality but not too big of a file.

title: Do I need to level up all of the characters in my party?

text: In DA:O, is there any reason that I need to level up all of my characters to near the same level? I.e. are there any quests that _require_ a certain character be in the party, and which will be extremely difficult if that character hasn't been leveled? I ask because I'm finding some of the party members to be of very marginal utility, esp. Morrigan (who is redundant with my mage Warden) and Sten (who is inferior to Dog for melee/tank).

Recently we've had a bunch of new people start up racing and from the second week on they started encountering "error 749" problems (I am not sure the exact wording of the error but I believe it says something about network incompatibility.) I pointed them to the 717 question but the answer given doesn't seem to have fixed things for them. Is 749 a different problem? How can they fix it?

text: I'm trying to unequip both spells from the Favorites menu, but it's just not working. I can unequip the spell that has the `L` symbol on it, but if I try the other spell all it does is toggle between `R` and `LR`. Is this a bug? I can't seem to remove all spells from both hands. This is for the **PC version of the game.** Edit: Almost the new year's and this is still an issue. I can't fathom how this game won several game of the years despite being so broken. Has anything new been released to address this issue? Edit 2: Middle of the year now. Hopefully there has been a patch solving this issue? I want to buy the game on Steam during the summer sale but would like to know beforehand if this has been solved correctly with no "work arounds".

title: Is there a resonator / xmp bug for others? Or are the last few resonators now just much harder to destroy?

text: Recently I came across a couple portals that had all but one or two resonators destroyed on them and was surprised whoever started taking over the portal didn't finish the job. Then I tried to destroy the last two resonators which had very low energy, and could barely make a dent in them. My level 3 xmps were doing 1% - 2% damage to level 1 resonators and my level 1 xmps had no effect. This happened to me on 3 different portals, where the last resonator or two was incredibly difficult to destroy. Some people in chat seemed to think this was a bug, but I'm wondering if maybe the gameplay is just changing? Maybe there's a special new shield type I haven't seen before? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/HVk5x.jpg)

title: Missing Property and Cash

text: I bought one of the cash cards from the xbox store which gave me about $1.25m in-game cash for roughly £13.50 directly from my linked bank account card. Then I went and purchased the most expensive property in the game, which was $400k from the money I just bought from the store. I used the property whilst I played for a couple of hours before saving the game twice (just to make sure it did) leaving the game and switching off my xbox. A few hours afterwards, I went back online to find that the property was gone and appearing as if it was never purchased, but the $400k wasn't there either! So basically, money from my bank has gone towards downloading some in-game cash that has partially disappeared. I've sent rockstar a message but there isn't any sign of a reply. I feel like I've been robbed - it's frustrating. Any form (info/advice/updates/etc) of help would be appreciated!


title: How hard are treasure hunt adventures?

text: I'm around level 5 and I've been having fun, so I figured I'd support the makers by buying the $25 basic pack or whatever it's called. I have access to 2 treasure hunt adventures, one level 6 and one level 7. I've done the dungeon rescue adventure, which was relatively challenging, though I completed it (just barely) on the first try. At level 6 how challenging will the level 6 treasure hunt be? Should I try to level up to 7 or 8, or go ahead and give it a shot once I hit 6?


title: What are some unique game identifiers that I may have in in my PS3?

text: My house was broken into 2 weeks ago and 27 of my PS3 games were stolen, my PS3 fat was left untouched however. I've noticed a kijiji ad that has come up and there is a match with 26 of my games. Not only that but the seller noted which ones were new and used and that matches up with my games as well. (Because sometimes you buy a game and just can't find time to play it) Suffice to say I think these have a high probability of being my games. I am thinking that perhaps the thief hasn't bothered to check all the games and I know that when I enter an unlock code for a game I put the paper back in the case. So for dragon age I had an unlock code for the golem and for Dead Space 2 I had the online unlock code. Is there any way of checking what my codes were that I entered in for my PS3 account?


title: Do Legendary drops only come from specific bosses?

text: From a Gearbox forum thread, legendary weapons drop from specific bosses in Borderlands 2. While this might make it easier to farm, it would be very useful to know if I can _ever_ get legendary guns by normal, non-boss means. I have noticed extremely few legendary guns so far (two in >50 hours of gameplay, level 38 currently) so I'm wondering if I need to farm bosses or if they're maybe more common at level 50 or something. Do legendaries still drop from chests? Do the legendary items still drop from other enemies/bosses, just with reduced chance? I'm assuming/hoping Terramorpheous can drop any legendary? I know Mike Mamaril might give you Orange items but since I'm on PC he's insanely rare so he's not a useful weapon source.


title: Can I marry Aela the huntress after completing the quest: Liberate Skyrim?

text: I found this video on youtube and trying to figure out how is this possible? How would you set up such an elaborate chain of explosions?
