title: How reliable is reballing a 60GB PS3?

text: My 60GB launch PS3 has finally given me a yellow light of death. Luckily I married into a second PS3 over a year ago (phew!), but my wife's Slim has neither most of my saved games nor can it play our PS2 games. The Internet seems conflicted on whether or not reballing is a good long-term solution. People offering it say it can work great for years. Other people say it only works for less than a year, or that 60GB models specifically are a moneypit for repairs once they start having problems. I've found some places that offer reballing services, but these are relatively expensive (€80+ and with only a couple months guarantee) compared to just buying a new PS2. On the other hand, 150 hours of Skyrim and I don't even remember how much Disgaea 3 are on that hard drive. Are there any statistics available on how long I can expect it to last? Or information about the reliability of the reballing process from someone who knows about electronics but doesn't have a financial stake in telling me it'll work great? Does success depend greatly on the skill of the repairer or will any professional get about the same results?

title: Terraria online?

text: Does the game Terraria have a dedicated online server (like MMO games) that will save my progress? Or will I have to connect to other people like FPS games? Or can I do both?


title: TF2 and shared wireless connections -- impossible for me and my brother to connect to the same Server?

text: It's the summer months, and both my brother and I are home from college for the time being. This means we're currently sharing a wireless network. We tried to play a game of Team Fortress 2 together this evening, and failed miserably; Without exception, the instant I tried to connect to the same server as him (or he, me) the other party would instantly disconnect. Given that we have been able to play together on the _same_ wireless network in the past (back around the WAR! Update), I was curious as to whether something changed in TF2 that might prevent two users on the same wireless network from connecting to the same server simultaneously? Is this a server option or security measure of some sort? We both have separate steam accounts, and we haven't tried LAN.

title: What techniques can be used for faster time trial runs in Mario Kart 8?

text: While watching world records, I have noticed that many runs for Mario Kart 8 are simply faster than me, even if I am using the exact same kart.

Are there secrets that allow these players to have a much higher acceleration and speed at the beginning and throughout the track?

Or do the opposite and move the game ROM chip over to a board with a working boot chip? Is there a way to test the pins of the current installed chip to verify if it is bad or not? I believe that the boot chip I have is CIC-NUS-6102. It's for killer instinct gold. I've gotten three bad ones in a row now and i'm going to fix at least one of them. Can't have a flaky game in the collection :) I figured someone here may have done this before.

title: My tekkit keeps crashing

text: Okay I would really appreciate if anyone can take their time to answer this. I love playing tekkit and I have gotten pretty good at it. My tekkit was lagging pretty bad so I did what I usually do and close it back to the technic launcher and re-open tekkit(this usually stops the lag). I just re-opened tekkit because it was lagging and now when I try to open that world it kicks me back to the technic launcher. It DOESN'T say anything like "out of memory" or any crash code it just puts me back into the technic launcher. I've tried opening this world probably 8 to 10 times and it keeps doing the same thing. If anyone knows why it keeps crashing please please reply. http://pastebin.com/Dz7h7pMi

title: What team comp beats a heal poke team?

text: The heal poke meta was a very strong team comp because it allowed teams to push towers very effectively as well as slowly knocking down the enemies HP. Usually it consisted of 2 healers like nidalee / soraka or taric and with a strong ad and ap carry. I always found that comp to be very strong and effective. So my question is what is an effective team comp to combat this?


title: What is a good power levelling strategy for Diablo 2?

text: The Battle.net ladder reset a few days ago, and already some players are up to level 90+. Myself, I've managed to play primarily solo and get to Act 3 in Normal and a comfortable level 20. I presume these other players are going in groups and helping each other out rather than soloing, but I don't think this explains all of the difference in play. I am also willing to make some serious concessions for the fact that I have many other demands on my time and have only played about 2.5 hours per night. I tend to find all the waypoints, clear dungeons of creatures and then move on but it seems that the preferred style is to run through as much of the level as possible and just fight the end bosses. I presume that since higher level areas give more experience this accelerates levelling. Is this method commonly called rushing, and if so what do you do to maintain good equipment and levels so that you can continue this process? Do you just revisit the choice areas in previous acts a couple of times and move on once you're competitive again?


title: How does Corki's passive work?

text: Is the true damage on top of his AD or build into his damage? Here is the passive for reference: > (Innate): Corki's autoattacks deal 10% of his total physical damage before > armor adjustment, as additional true damage to minions, monsters, and > champions. If I had 100 AD and shoot a target with 0 armor, does it then deal 100 damage hence 90% from AD and rest from true damage or does it deal 110 damage because of 100 AD+10% from passive?

title: Battlefield 3 problem connecting to same server on LAN

text: In Battlefield 3, I'm able to connect to a server with a first computer, but the second computer in the LAN will always keep on the "connecting..." phase. I think that happens because I was using the same port. Origin uses registry to launch the game so I changed the registry to use another port: `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX\Games{438D1154-48C0-41FD- BDB0-BC789AAA5BE3}\AppExePath` using `C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3\bf3.exe +clientport 20000` But it didn't work. Also tried to enable/disable UPnP. Of course both computers have different accounts.


title: Are the strategic cruisers worth their price?

text: Among all the EvE players, everyone knows the Tech3 Strategic Cruisers... but most of them doesn't want to even think of flying those, so it's pretty hard to find some relevant information. For starters, on the PVE side, I don't see what a strategic cruiser would bring on the table that a much cheaper battleship (or drake) wouldn't. On the PVP side, instead, I don't see the advantages of the tier 3 cruiser on the tier 2 dedicated ship. I guess I must be missing something! Maybe there's a specific version of this cruiser that shines in its own particular way? I'm thinking in particular about the Proteus cruiser. Since the evil gallente nerfbat (hybrid weapons), does the Proteus still have any value as a gunboat? Is it possible to have a decent non-theorical dps whilr using the interdiction nullifier and covert reconfiguration subsystems? (Viable ship for missions lvl5?)

title: Will assisted drones follow a guarding drone into a fight?

text: It is possible to instruct your drones in EVE to 'guard' or 'assist' players when in a fleet. I've noticed that when you set drones to guard individual players in your fleet, only the drone that is currently guarding the player that is attacked will engage the enemy attacking that player. If I were to set one of each of my drones to 'guard' an individual in my fleet, and then each player in my fleet set their drones to 'assist' me, would all drones assisted to me attack if one of my drones engaged an enemy?


title: Does it matter who executes a Limit?

text: There are a lot of different limit possibilities in the game, and I'm wondering if for some of the more generic ones, it matters which characters get assigned to them, and of those, which in particular does the executing. For example, one of the first Limits you get is Cross Slash, which you have to assign to two characters. Do the stats/gear of the characters it is assigned to matter in terms of how much damage it does? And does it matter which of the two guys it is assigned to I actually trigger it with?

text: Do chests appear randomly, or are they rewarded after you achieve specific things? What achievements? The odd distribution (I've gotten 8 Fire Breather masks, and only one of most of them) hints that it isn't random.   * The ten rings are Infinite Loop, Angel Wings, Twisted Root, Floating Island, Sky Clasp, Demon Claw, Ruby Shard, Caves Maw, Mystic Rocks, and Idol's Curse.   * The ten masks are Fire Breather, Infinite Seeker, Traveling Tiki, Skyward Scream, Serpent's Smile, Silent Menace, Jade Monster, The Gatekeeper, Demon Skull, and Face of the Idol   * The five Christmas artifacts are Candy Cane, Stocking, Holly, Present, and Wreath. Also, have you ever opened _more than one_ chest per run? I ask because all this work to reach Level 10 is making me kill myself after I grab a chest.

Is there a better way to split the party, possibly in a more persistent fashion like Wasteland used?

title: What constitutes a head shot in Dead Trigger?

text: In Dead Trigger, head shots seem rather sporadic, which can be frustrating, especially when dealing with these guys: ![Seriously. An full AK clip into this bastard's face and he's still coming](http://i.stack.imgur.com/HV3VQ.jpg) Four or five point blank shotgun rounds into the face, and the only thing I get is the _ping_ -ing noise of his stupid helmet protecting his stupid face. Reminiscent of _Goldeneye: 64_ , where the guards had helmets that could stop a .44 Magnum. The issue isn't just limited to the armored undead gentlemen, however: all the zombies seem to have some magic ability to frequently shrug off head shots. It's extremely obvious when using the "Big Head" powerup (I can't remember exactly what it's called right now, something like "Head-flator"): there's really no question about whether or not I'm actually hitting their head, but frequently it takes two or three shots to actually register a head shot. What exactly determines whether a hit is a head shot or not? Is there a chance factor? E.G., if you hit a zombie in the head, the game rolls a d20 behind the scenes to see if it actually was a head shot or not?


title: Mecha-Washingtons keep destroying my flagship. What can I do?

text: I'm at the part where you have to defend the flagship against waves of attacking zeppelins carrying hordes of soldiers. I'm playing on Hard difficulty, so enemies soak up enough damage that I can't quite keep up with them, and they slowly destroy the ship's core. (I don't even want to think about dealing with this on 1999 Mode...) What strategies are effective in this fight? Should I be saving my "air strikes" for the gunships, or should I be using them against the infantry on the decks? How do I deal with the Patriots?


title: Unit tile swap. Works one way and not the other, Why?

text: When there are two of my units adjacent to each other, you can perform a unit swap between their two hex tiles. You do this by dragging the cursor of one unit over the other. The cursor turns white, let go of the mouse button and the units swap tiles. I find that sometimes I select unit A and find that trying to swap with unit B does not work. However, switching to using unit B to initiate the swap does work. Why is this?


title: What do these triangles in my inventory mean?

text: Having just looted my very first spoils of war, I notice that some of the items I've picked up have small, upward-pointing triangles next to their names. So far, the triangles are appearing next to heavy armor only, but it seems unlikely the game has a "heavy armor icon" but no other kind of icon. So what do these triangles indicate? ![screenshot of triangles](http://i.stack.imgur.com/pVqvk.jpg)


title: How do I use four familiars in battle?

text: So I am currently around level 45 with my main character and I am working through the West Midlands Underground. At the moment there is a PvP event going on which I am actively taking part in. However, sometimes when I select my opponent I notice that they have a set of 4 familiars to battle against. How can I get this too? I have already unlocked a couple of additional formations, so my best guess is that at some point I will get a 4-man formation. If this is the case, when will I get my first 4-main formation, and what other formations are available? (Note: I think my latest formation I got was "Wave") Also, can you get more than a 4-man formation? I remember last week there was a different kind of event which had some sort of boss battles (large enemies) that allowed me to field 6 of my familiars at once. Is this just an event specific formation perhaps? Perhaps another interesting question: once I have access to a 4-man formation, are there any motivations for me to ever go back to a 3-man?


title: What to do with unused familiars?

text: So I have been playing _Blood Brothers_ for a few days now, and have racked up a good few familiars in storage. I currently have about 40, and as there is a maximum storage space for 50 I want to start cleaning these up a bit. For the most part I have been evolving my familiar so I can complete the "Collection", so a lot of these are currently at their maximum evolution, and I just cannot see myself using them in battle. So time to get rid of some. From what I can tell, there are generally two options I have:   1. I can cash them in for gold   2. I can use them to boost the skills of my main characters The problem is I don't know which is the best option. Currently, I have over 300K in gold coins, and from what I can tell, this kind of money is easier to get hold of then spend. So the first question is: Is there anything for me to save up for? or is this kind of money purely for evolving and skill improvement? With option 2 in mind, most of the familiars (more so the ones I want to get rid of) offer relatively little skill XP for my main characters, but naturally every little counts. One question here might be: is it worth leveling-up a weak familiar before using them for skill improvements? do the higher levels generally make much difference? I know there is a few "sub-questions" in all that, but the ultimate question is: **What is more beneficial in the long run? Selling familiars for gold, or using them for skill upgrades?**


title: How can I change my in-game playername?

text: Is it tied purely to my Steam profile name, or can I set my in-game name independently? In CS Source you used to be able to change the name drectly form the console with a 'name' command. Ideally I'd like to be able to have he in-game name totally separate from my steam profile name as changing that around will confuse people on my Friends list.


title: Is there a purpose in trading time-limited crates?

text: Some crates (like the Fall Crate) are supposed to be a limited time item, set to disappear at a given date and time. Yet those that acquired the crates during the event and didn't log back in the game still have these crates in their inventory, and can trade them. Provided that they would disappear the moment you log in TF2, is there any purpose in trading them besides collecting them? Is there still a way to open an expired Crate?

title: Interaction between high ground, detection, and "vision"

text: After getting nuked several times in a row last night, I came up with a somewhat esoteric question. Let's say I have a spore crawler in my base. If a cloaked unit comes within range of the crawler, it is revealed, and my hydralisks can kill the ghost. That's easy. Now let's say my hatchery is on low ground, and there is high ground right near it. I build a spore crawler right at the base of the high ground. If a ghost is up on that high ground, cloaked or not, i can't see him because I don't have vision of the high ground. Still pretty easy. Now I move an overlord (not overseer) over to where the ghost is. Now I can see the ghost if it is uncloaked. If there was a hydralisk at the bottom of the cliff, it could attack the ghost because the overlord's vision allows the hydra to target the ghost. Now for the tricky part. What if the ghost is cloaked? Does the overlord's vision allow the spore crawler's detection ability to "target" the ghost and reveal it, the same way the hydra could target it in the previous scenario? Or would I need to build a spore crawler on the high ground? (I know I could also morph an overseer, but that is not relevant to this question, which is focused on the exact mechanics of detection and how it interacts with vision of high ground.)

text: I am looking for a comprehensive table or article on each brawl character's opponents they are strong against (Strengths) and opponents they are weak against. For a given character give me other characters he/she is strong against and weak against. It seems like this type of analysis should be easy to find and relatively easy to create if one knows the game inside and out. I also feel that it would be beneficial to the community to have such a table indexed and referenced.

I have heard two theories regarding how long your crops take to grow;   * 24 hours from the point in time they were planted, ie: if you plant at 2am, they will be ready the next day at 2am   * At midnight, ie: if you plant at 11pm, at midnight your crops will be ready for farming How does farming work in World of Warcraft? When will my crops be ready?


title: How to channel Redstone current vertically?

As the pressure plates are sending the current to redstone at a very low level, I need to raise it somehow, and this leads to awkward stairs of redstone. ![Screenshot of my contraption](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NZFQh.png) So I'm wondering whether there are better ways of sending the redstone current up, maybe even vertically.

title: Is it possible to achieve Conscentious Objector as a solo player?

text: The Conscientious Objector achievement is earned by playing from Home Castle to Barbarian Boss without attacking any enemies. Considering that you can't advance each battle until all enemies are killed (the entire point of, you know, battling), does that make it impossible to achieve without playing with friends? Or can you rely on damage-dealing pets to attack enemies for you as an exception to the achievement requirement?

After this it seems clear I should be playing in Americas all along-just I never knew that this was an option or that it was chosen for me...) * * * **SOLUTION?**   * Does **it** ( **it** , the fact I started on Eurpoean server and just want to be able to sell items I pick up) matter?   * It seems I am unable to trade in european AH (even if i **didn't care** about different currencies). **IDEA 1:**   * I understand that you can switch items between characters.   * Will this cover me, should I want to sell an item in RMAH?    * i.e. switch it to player in my region, sell from there ? **NO MORE IDEAS:**   * Do I have any options available?   * Or is the only way to switch servers and invest another... ~~i dunno what, 60-100+ hours to be able to access AH? Note at no point of course is the user asked when starting the game what server they want to play in. You're just supposed to know.~~ **IN RESPONSE TO COMMENTS:** :   * Currently my region is set to **European**   * When I click on RMAH I get **no currencies available**. I have not changed my region to American and tested, I wanted to suss out what my options are before making a change that I don't fully understand the consequences of (they're are a lot of sob stories on this subject)

text: When i search for DLC on the PS3/4 i can just go into the playstation store, search for the game and bellow it lists some DLC but there is a button to show all the DLC to the game. On the Vita however i can't do that, i look for a game (ie. Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1) but when i go into it it's gives the the description and to buy/download but i don't have the same list as i do on the PS3/4. when i use the search option i get DLC that's not even for the game i'm looking for, while i do have both Hyperdimension Neptunia Games on the Vita some of the DLC i was seeing on the list didn't even belong to either (some looked like they were from Dead or Alive). So i am wondering, is there an easier way to get all the DLC for only one game to appear?

The limit seems to be 2 chunks, which is extremely restrictive (I can't place a quarry over the boundary between 4 chunks for example). Is there a way (preferably in-game) of modifying the amount of chunks a quarry can keep loaded?

Are there any benefits to becoming a neutron star, short of it just being another step on the way to black hole?


title: Why do different casinos generate different amount of money?

text: Casinos are a bit confusing to me. I have 3 casinos and I built my Sci-fi casino. My first two casinos easily make me money, the first one here: ![](http://i.imgur.com/HTtbrNI.jpg) easily makes me 40k a day this one here below it: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Qqjss.jpg) makes a lot less, but still positive income Now the new sci-fi casino that I built makes SO much less, its actually 9k negative. My question is why do the casinos make such a different amount of money, and why does the Sci-fi casino steal money from me, while the other two make so much? (I have given it about a month of time to see if it would begin making money)

I can kill regular NPCs easily with sneak attack but as soon as I run into a more bad ass type of enemy I'm unable to kill them and I have to run by them like a coward... One example is the first time you go to the Greybeards, up the 7000 step stairs. There were 2 trolls and an ice wolf that I wasn't even close to be able to kill. They regenerated life faster than I was able to damage them! Is there something I'm missing in being an assassin type of player in Skyrim?

Do the kills still count if you die? **EDIT** : What move counts as a stealth kill? Just to be sure I'm not wasting my time. From the tutorial you're supposed to hold `L2` to stealth, get close and then hold `SQUARE` to attack? But sometimes he just swings and doesn't instant kill them, and the stealth is broken.

title: Does Anivia's Frostbite synergize with other Champions?

text: Frostbite deals double damage to champions "slowed by an ice effect." This seems to imply that any ice effect should work, but the forums seem divided on the matter. It obviously works with Anivia's own skills, as otherwise it would be pointless. Check off Flash Frost, and Glacial Storm. Very few people seem to think that the damage doubles against champions effected by items. Items that seem to slow via frost are Rylai's Crystal Scepter, and Iceborn Gauntlet. There are a number of champions with ice-based slows, and this list seems more divisive, some threads seem to claim a subset, some claim them all, and some claim none of them. Those I can think of are:   1. Sejuani; Frost, Permafrost    2. Ashe; Frost Shot, Volley (sometimes), Enchanted Crystal Arrow   3. Nunu; Ice blast, Absolute Zero

title: Buying games across countries with GameTreeOnline

text: I am currently sitting in Sydney for a summer break and I want to buy games from GameTreeOnline. Unfortunately, their 'security' mechanisms prevent me from using my bank account while in Sydney, though they would let me purchase if I were willing to do a cross country transaction with an Australian bank account, so it would be legal. However, I can ask my friend to purchase it on my account for me. Now I am curious if said sites would allow me to purchase in the US and then turn around and download from Australia, or would they block my download (in which case my money would be wasted because the main reason I'm buying the game is to play it over the next month). So, precis: Can I have my friend in the states buy the game from GameTreeOnline and then download the game in Australia?

text: I use a Mac as a gaming device with the help of Wineskin wrappers that allow PC games to run on Mac. I've installed Oblivion through Wineskin. Oblivion works well on the highest possible setting on my early 2010 MacBook Pro 13" with an Nvidia 320M 256 MB graphics card. I've tried to install Skyrim, but even on the lowest settings, Skyrim look much worse than Oblivion did, it runs at 5 FPS, and has no sound whatsoever. How can I get Skyrim to at least work at 30 FPS and have sound?

title: How many locations are there in Minecraft?

text: How many unique locations are there in Minecraft? The Nether is one. The outside world is 2 and the place where the ender dragon is is 3. Are there any more special locations? I'm not talking about biomes I'm talking about areas where you need to teleport to go there.


title: How can I force save in GTA Online without leaving?

text: I know when you leave GTA Online it's _supposed_ to save, however I think the loss of money/properties/levels is caused by it _saving_ when the cloud servers are offline. So my question is, is there anything I can do in a session to force it to save automatically, so if I save it 10 times within half an hour, hopefully at least one of those times the cloud servers are online and it will save. I'm asking because I lost 5 levels and 200k yesterday, and I've made a lot of money today. Also, this may not be the cause of why data is being lost, but I'd like to at least give myself as good a chance as possible of saving it.


title: How can I not fail hard at QWOP?

text: I'm trying to beat the epic struggle that is QWOP, but I clearly haven't mastered it. I've been able to get to the first hurdle at 50m by essentially scraping my knee the entire time, but my strategy breaks down when trying to get past it: ![A truly epic QWOP failure](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Zb7tR.png) Is there an ideal key sequence to generate the intended/proper running form so that I may find out what magical things lie in wait beyond?

title: Transfer steam app data (TF2) from Mac to PC

text: I've downloaded a Steam game on my Mac (Team Fortress 2), and I'd like to install it on my PC as well, but I'd like to know if it's possible to avoid re-downloading it (even in part) by copying the game data across my local network. I imagine the executable binaries are completely different between the platforms, but that the maps, textures, sounds, etc would all be identical. Any ideas?


title: In the World War Hulk table, why does The Watcher appear randomly in the dot matrix window?

text: What is the meaning behind the random appearance of The Watcher in the dot matrix window? He appears more frequent the more I score.


title: Early and Late game Runes

text: So I recently started playing Fizz and I've seen some builds from some various sites. The Runes I ended up using now are:   * +6.5 Magic Pen.   * +4.5 Armor Pen.   * +45 Ability Power at level 18   * +15 Ability Power So I'm just thinking, why use +45 AP at level 18? What I mean is that if I get fed early game I'll be good late as well because of items and everything. So that +45 won't do much ( In my opinion ). If I feed early game, that +45 definitely won't do much ( Again, in my humble opinion ). If I stay with a decent score through the whole game, same logic as before. So, I would like to ask. Isn't it better to put Runes focusing only on early game instead of putting some for early and some for late? Because if you get fed early game with the advantage from the, only, early game Runes you will have a huge advantage late game, which means that you won't need as much that +45 AP.


title: How can I find artifacts in Survarium?

The buff doesn't appear to do much, at least. What does the buff do? Do they stack? Is there a cap? How long does it last? What are its drop conditions?


title: Why can't I remap keys?

text: I am playing Brutal Legend through Steam and have just killed the fist Nun, very beginning of the game before getting the car or leaving the very first are. I decided I want to change the lock-on button from ctrl to a thumb button on my mouse. I hit ESC, go to the keymaping area of the menu, and click the activity I want to re-map. A nice box pups up telling me to "Press any key or mouse". I click the thuhmb mouse button I want to map to. Nothing happens. I try again. Still nothing. I try middle mouse button. Nothing. I have not pushed every letter on my keyboard as well as ctrl and a few other keys, but nothing changes. I still see the pop-up message. Maybe it froze, I think to myself. I check task manager and it says it is Running, no issues at all. I open steam overlay, works fine. I try ESC to get out of the menu, still nothing. So now I have tried mapping this to anything, including what it was, as well as trying to get out of the menu withough closing the game completely. Nothing is working. Any ideas on how I can re-map this or beck out of this menu without closing the game completely? Here is the screen I am stuck at. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fuIMv.jpg)

I've since posted numerous units to remove a lot of the fog of war, but I haven't seen any camps for a long time (I have the honor social policy, so it notifies me). Did they stop spawning due to the almost non-existent fog of war, due to the number of camps uncleared on the map, or because it is 2058 AD?

title: It is optimal to target weapons in FTL?

text: Admittedly I normally play through on easy and have only been playing for a couple weeks. However my entire strategy usually hinges on taking out the guns first. Most time I can roll all but the toughest foes or the ones who get a missile off before I can charge my first volley. Most fights turn into five minute nearly risk free waiting games. In fact, when I found a weapon pre-igniter I got my keeping them down achievement the very next fight, it took a while to grind them down but they never successfully fired their weapon. Sometimes I need to rocket their shields, or target their shields when the weapons are already down, but I have not had luck targeting anything but the weapon systems. Is there a better strategy?

title: Can I disable science sharing in my team?

text: I'm trying to play a cooperative game of Civilization V - that is, a multiplayer game with two humans (all the rest AIs) with both of us sharing the same team. However, I discovered that when we are on the same team we apparently completely share the science progression between us - giving us what seems to be a huge advantage over the AI. Other aspects such as culture progression and international relations don't seem to be shared, only sight and war status - and I'm fine with those. Is there any way to disable this science sharing?


title: Is there quick matchmaking in Shogun 2?

text: I was a big fan of the Rome series, and I just recently started back on the Total War series again, by picking up FoTS with Shogun 2. I'm not interested in the campaign or anything, I just want to fight in quick skirmish matches with online players. Does Shogun 2 not support that? (I don't want to go through the lengthy Avatar setup, and I wasn't interested in the multiplayer campaigns. I'm literally just looking for some quick matches, and I wasn't seeing it from the main screen.) I'm sure quick matches are supported somewhere, but I can't find them! Any help would be appreciated!


title: What is the significance of this horned creature that appears sometimes in Bejeweled Blitz?

Maybe it's random and has no meaning! Does anyone know?


title: What exactly does the stealth kit do?

text: I'm wondering what **exactly** the stealth kit in Titanfall does. Please don't just copy and paste the in-game text like every other site on the internet does, that isn't going to help me. I'm asking the question because its functionality (like much of Titanfall) is kind of ambiguous in the in-game description. It says that it makes your footsteps silent; are they strictly referring to the game audio of footstep noise sent to other players? Will my steps when rodeoing an enemy titan (that thunk thunk sound) be silent? Does it mean that sprinting won't make me appear on the mini-map to other players (meaning that sprinting without the stealth kit **would** make me appear on the minimap)? The internet is packed with people speculating about these things, but it seems like no one actually knows for sure (or maybe the people who **do** know just don't want to share the knowledge). It seems like the only way to definitively answer these mechanics questions is to get a bunch of friends together (all on party chat) into a private match and rigorously test them. I would love to do this, but sadly only two of my xbox live friends jumped on the xbone bandwagon, and they don't have Titanfall for some inexplicable reason.


title: I can't log onto my Steam account

Right now I'm disappointed, and not impressed with Steam, or Bethesda. Anyone have a solution?


title: Are character packs purely cosmetic?

text: Killing Floor's DLC currently consists of a half-dozen "character packs". However, the game's and packs' pages on Steam don't appear to describe what significance, if any, your choice of character makes.

title: What are some good novice applications for redstone circuitry?

text: I've just decided to finally bite the bullet and learn redstone circuitry in minecraft. I'm already familiar with logical circuitry, and the minecraftwiki page about redstone circuits is certainly a good reference. But I need some goals. I can build all the flip-flops and xor gates I want, but I don't really know what to _do_ with them. So, I'm looking for some ideas that:   * Require theoretical knowledge about logical circuit components   * Are not intimidatingly enormous (or time consuming)   * Have a practical application in the game (i.e. not just art)   * Are fun! Any thoughts?


title: How long does a sentry gun last in Spec Ops: Survival?

text: I've been experimenting with Survival mode in Modern Warfare 3 Spec Ops, but I haven't quite unlocked everything yet. One thing that seems like it should be super useful is the sentry gun. There also appears to be a sentry grenade turret as well. How long do these last? Do they eventually time out, or do they die due to enemies shooting them? Do the enemies target sentry guns? Will they path differently if one is in place?

title: Minecraft & Hamachi IPs

text: I and a friend play minecraft, and with the recent 1.3.1 release we can now open our games to LAN ^_^ Or we can sometimes, sometimes we can't, sometimes we can, it's quite confusing, and we're not sure why it's happening. See if I open my minecraft game to LAN for people to connect, it says in chat they can connect on IP:port. Sometimes this IP takes the form 5.xx.etc... which is my hamachi IP at the time. When this happens my friend also on Hamachi can connect as expected. Sometimes however it says 192.168.0.x and he cannot connect, because minecraft is listening on the wrong network adaptor. This also happens on his machine sometimes. We're not sure why it happens sometimes and not others. How do we fix or control this? We've had the issue on both OS X and Windows 7. We initially had it trying to connect a macbook air to a PC running windows 7. Apparently Minecraft had picked up the virtualbox network adaptor and had decided to start listening on that, rather than the local LAN. Disabling that adaptor fixed the issue, but disabling the internet will render the Hamachi adaptor unusable.

How many packages do you normally have to open to get one of these shiny orange cards?

To the degree that I was standing on a castle rampart firing my longbow down into attacking centaurs when they all just vanished! Does anyone know of a way to increase the draw distance or make characters and objects appear when further away from you? I assume probably some exe command switch or ini tweak is in order?

title: Why do turtles and snakes love my marble brick house?

text: I've been trying recently the Minecraft mod pack Technic using the Technic launcher. It's set to "always use recommended builds". After spending an extended stay underground oogling all the shiny new gemstones and such, I came back up to the surface and did what any minecrafter would do. I built a floating marble brick house over the ocean. All was fine and dandy until I went to collect some sugar cane. I came back to find my house contained a pack of about six turtles! Considering I had left my front door open, I gave them the benefit of the doubt... and shoved them out a hole in the wall into the ocean below. (Turtles can swim, right?) After making sure to close my doors this time, I went back out to harvest some rubber. After breaking my treetap and returning, I found my work area filled by several snakes! Unacceptable! I built myself a sword and now am the owner of a few snake eggs. Why does this keep happening? **Why do I find various wildlife creatures to have spawned inside my home?** My house is well lit by torches, if that matters. I also play on peaceful 'cause caves noises scare me quite enough, let alone creepers.

title: My dwarves are sleeping in each other's beds!

text: At least for the first few waves of migration, I try to make sure every dwarf has his or her own bedroom. So each one gets a small room with a bed in it assigned to him or her. But the dwarves don't seem to take any notice of this: they all just sleep in whichever room they feel like! Now, if this doesn't bother the owner of the room (I don't know whether it does) then I might as well just leave all the rooms unassigned and let the dwarves sleep wherever (this would save me a lot of room-assigning whenever a big wave arrives) and I probably wouldn't need as many rooms, since not everybody wants to sleep at the same time. Is there a way I can force the dwarves to sleep only in their designated room or in the overspill/new migrant dormitory?


title: Can I make separate save files/towns/mayors in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?

text: My wife and I bought an _Animal Crossing: New Leaf_ Special Edition 3DS-XL for my daughter. We are wondering if there is a way to have separate saves (separate towns) so that each of us can have our OWN town and each be a mayor. I've found conflicting reports so far as to whether you can make saves to separate SD cards and I'm not familiar with how game saves work on a 3DS. Is there any way that each of us can have our own experience, and not just all be citizens in the same town? In case it helps, _Animal Crossing: New Leaf_ comes pre-installed on this special edition 3DS-XL.

title: Where do I find the band instruments for Rock Band 3 in Australia?

text: Almost all stores in Australia are stocking the game only for Rock Band 3. I need to buy all of the instruments (except microphone) and have several things to weigh up:   1. No Rock Band instruments are sold here except the wireless keyboard (AUD138.00 exclusive to EB Games for just the controller - expensive)   2. Certain editions of Beatles Rock Band have the instruments but I can't find that sold anywhere online in Oz any more   3. Could import from Gamestop or Barnes & Noble in the US but worried about shipping damage and it costs more - they won't ship bundles outside the US only individual instruments   4. Guitar Hero 6 is in easy supply so could buy that or Band Hero even cheaper but not sure if the instruments are as good I've been waiting to play the Rock Band series for a long time so I'd really appreciate help on this! Console is PS3 if that's important.

title: What is the highest single target DPS skill for Demon Hunter?

text: I'm having a hard time figuring this one out. The top three standouts seem to be: **Cluster Arrow with Grenadier passive** , **Impale with Sharpshooter passive** , and **Rapid Fire with Ballistic passive** , but my mathcraft skills might be insufficient for determining the answer. My fear with Impale/Sharpshooter is that for longer fights, the Crit chance dropping itself off from the Sharpshooter triggering and having to start over will lead to lower overall DPS but I don't have the formula to prove this. With Cluster arrow, the main problem seems to be that with 50 hatred cost per tick, and average boss length fight will have you running on empty constantly. That leaves Rapic Fire/Ballistic, but that answer has way too much gut instinct for me - does anyone know the numbers?


title: Will solo matchmaking match you solo players from the main queue?

I'm just afraid that this queue mode is not using the common queue. If not, I'll send a suggestion to the dev team.

title: What seems to be wrong with my automated Lettuce farm?

text: I have a lettuce farm. It works and at the same time not work... (Explanation after the picture)   ![Lettuce Farm](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Q5hdH.jpg) Can't see the picture? Visit here. (steamcommunity.com)   I've hooked everything up and it is partially working. This is what I have observed:   1. The Planter is able to plant any modded seeds.   2. The Harvester only harvests ONLY Carrots and Potatoes.   3. The Harvester can't chop trees.   4. The Harvester seem to take about 2 minutes to realize that something is actually ready for harvest (tested with Carrots) before harvesting it.   5. The Planter seem to take about a minute to realize that a plot is empty (also tested with Carrots) before planting on/tilling it. Also, all the machines are hooked up...   * The QDS (Quest Delivery System) is the block with a "Mushroom Cake" on it.    * The pipes contain sludge (not used currently) for the quest (which is finished).    * The Sludge Boiler is directly behind (from POV) the QDS.    * The Lava Generator (power source) is underneath the Sludge Boiler    * The Harvester is underneath the QDS (proper position)    * The Planter is under that tiny patch of water in the middle... And it is hooked to the Harvester with Itemducts and to the Lava Generator via Leadstone energy wiring stuff.   * All machines are powered with Leadstone energy wiring stuff. So, basically:   1. Is there any way to make it work faster and be more responsive?   2. Is there anything wrong with the build/layout?   3. Why can't I harvest anything other than carrots and potatoes? (The only way to harvest is to do it by hand; right click/breaking) * * * If you want to hop into the world to see what's wrong, just contact me.. Or leave a comment.   _Modpack: FeedTheBeast - AgarianSkies v3.1.1 | Updated from V2.1.9 and the problem still persists._


title: How to Configure Applied Energistics To Increase Item Count to an Exact Value When Smelting?

text: Normally for my AE setups where items are required to be smelted (Rubber / Plastic) I like to create a buffer of items, so I have an exporter setup with a level emitter and an oven the says, if the amount of plastic is lower than X in the network, export rubber into the oven. What normally happens is I end up with around 64 more than I want since they are all in the oven when the level emitter finally fires. This works fine until the items are very expensive (Advanced Processor). I don't want to use 64 more diamonds than I need. How do I configure my network to always have 10 items in my buffer, and if it is less than 10, make the exact amount needed, accounting for the delay and internal buffer of the oven? -- I'm currently doing this in Agrarian Skies.

text: So needless to say spoilers follow (as implied by the question); In the final scene Bigby remembers things that Narissa has said to him over the course of the game and comes to realise something about her role in event of the game that isn't explicitly stated. You are then given the choice to let her go or go after her, I choose to go after her in the hope of finding out more but the final scene cuts and the game ends. What did the Big Bad Wolf realise about the Little Mermaid in the final scene? PS I would have made that the question title but I thought it was a bit too spoilery.

title: How is accuracy calculated in Battlefield 3?

text: Since there is no official source for this kind of information and I haven't found any data on the internet, I'm asking this here. The details:   * In which cases shots are affecting the specific gun's/general accuracy? Will my accuracy go down, if I just stand at one place and put 1000 rounds in the ground?   * How is calculated rocket launcher's accuracy? Is the indirect damage a miss or a hit?   * What math is used? Shots hit / shots fired? Or something more complicated?   * _Off-topic_ : Why is my general accuracy around 13, if 26 guns out of 30 in my top weapons have 18+ accuracy (sniper rifles 30+, pistols 20+, rocket launchers 55+). Any info will do - personal observations, tests, videos, maybe game-file tear- downs or unpopular developer blog entries, or closed forum posts, _any_.
