title: Is it possible to sense the depth of a well?

text: I use BC Quarries quite often, but I want to be able to monitor their progress through a computer. Is it possible to sense the depth of a well (or the quarry, or the water) using an item? Modpack is Tech World 2.


title: Is it possible to have a 2 handed bow with a shield?

text: I am a demon hunter and I want to have a 2 handed bow with a shield. It seems like it should be possible since a shield is "off-hand." Is there any shield, bow combination that allows this?


title: What do the numbers mean on a grenade mod?

text: In Borderlands what do the numbers on Grenade-Mods mean? I don't think they mean the number of uses.   And I'm pretty sure the 45 grenade does way more damage than 45.


title: Dual wielding with the weapon master passive

text: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OAlCc.png) When dual wielding and using the weapon master passive, does the off hand weapon receive a benefit from the passive? For example, if I'm using two maces does it increase my total chance to critical by 20% or does it increase each individual weapon's chance to crit by 10%.


title: New levels "cheater"?

text: I've built three New levels but they are called "cheater" (I have the German version so it's actually "Betrüger") I can build items there e.g. 10 tier 1 items and get gold but surely it's a bug? I definitely didn't cheat, I wouldn't even know how...


title: How do I complete the Crispy Critters achievement?

text: The _Crispy Critters_ Act III challenge achievement says to "Use a Demon Forge to kill 3 Tormented Stingers at once". I am assuming that the fire-breathing heads on the sides of the path in the last parts of Act III are Demon Forges. Tormented Stingers are hard to come by in the last sections of Act III. Their non-achievement worthy cousins, the Stygian crawlers are quite prevalent. I only seem to spot Tormented stingers when they spawn surrounding a Hell Bringer Trap in groups of 6 or rarely from cocoons, 1 at a time. Kiting these hard-to-find little pests is quite the pain as they pretty much die in one hit and often get too close when I'm stuck in the middle of a swarm of other mobs as I try to get them to what I assume are Demon Forges or get taken out by my follower before I can dismiss. Even when I get them there, they tend to circle around me which is no good as the assumed Demon Forges fire in a straight line with rather narrow spread, meaning that either some of them won't get hit or they won't all die at once. I've been trying this as a Monk, but I'm considering the Demon Hunter's caltrops, assuming they don't kill the little crawlies. **What is an effective strategy to getting this achievement?** Are the things I assume to be Demon Forges, actually Demon Forges? Is there a more consistent location where I can get Tormented Stingers to spawn for this achievement? Is there a particular class/skill needed to do this successfully?


title: What is the math behind the weapon strength?

text: I'm looking for example showing the math behind the calculation of the weapon strength. I'm aware of other questions, but can someone show the actual math in the following weapons? Pistol 1:   * Weapon screen: Physical damage 26 - 52, +5 Physical damage, Speed .64, DPS 67   * Character screen (under strength): 37-67   * Arcane screen: 37-67, DPS 82 Pistol 2:   * Weapon screen: Physical damage 26 - 52, +7 Electrical damage, Speed .64, DPS 68   * Character screen (under strength): 39-69   * Arcane screen: 31-61, DPS 85, +8 Electrical damage Hammer (two-handed):   * Weapon screen: Physical damage 81 - 163, +7 Poison damage, Speed 1.32, DPS 97   * Character screen (under strength): 103 - 198   * Arcane screen: 95-190, DPS 118, Speed 1.28, +8 Poison damage Well, how does the game get these numbers and should I sling the pistols or wield the hammer?


title: Contacting Players Outside the Game for LOL

text: I was just wondering if it was possible to chat with players and add friends without entering the game, like through 3rd party sites perhaps? Like through lolking, for instance.


title: What's up with the white knight in the forest of the lost giants?

text: Relatively early in the forest of the lost giants you climb up a ladder and there sits a white knight beneath a tree. He looks like an NPC, he does not attack or react in any way, but there is also no talk-prompt for me to use. What's up with this guy?


title: Earliest possible winning turn in Hearthstone

text: In Hearthstone's normal play mode (Constructed - pre NAXX), every card you include in your deck cannot exceed a total of 2 copies of the same card, and you have a limited amount of cards in your hand. So, under those conditions, in which **turn** can you win if you take the enemy down as quickly as possible and the enemy doesn't concede ?


title: Which levels of Amazing Breaker can I get x20 and x25 chain reactions?

text: I've been playing Amazing Breaker recently and saw there are achievements for chain reaction x20 and x25. For a chain of 25 I believe you need 9 Split Bombs or Helicopter Bombs - or perhaps 8 of them (24 sub-bombs) plus a detonation. But I haven't noticed any levels with the possibility of that number of bombs. Is it possible to get those achievements?


title: Dedicated Server - what should I be looking for? Virtual private servers?

text: I would like to rent my own dedicated-server which I can run my own game servers on, rather than buying a server specific for one individual application or game. Any suggestions of what I should be looking for?


title: How to remove the black and white bars from the top of my Minecraft client?

text: I am running a modded version of Minecraft on my computer, which is a Mac Mini running OSX. I have the latest update of Java 7 and I am running the FTB Unleashed v1.1.3 launcher and have not had issues in the past. I have reset both the launcher and the machine a few times and have had no success so far. Here is a screenshot of my launcher: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/kXHhw.png) Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.


title: When you fire do bushes become invisible for your allies?

text: I've just watched a very helpful video about camouflage and how bushes work, one thing stated was that "When you fire bushes become invisible within 50m of you." **So if I'm next to an enemy tank that's behind a shrubbery so my allies can't see it, if I fire at said enemy tank will the shrubberies vanish so that my allies can see my target?** A crude diagram to illustrate:                    M     A    SE      A = Ally   M = My Tank   S = Shrubbery   E = Enemy


title: How does the career mode change when you have unlocked the entire tech tree?

text: I've nearly unlocked all the science tech tree. How does the game change after that? Specifically, is there any reason for more science when I've unlocked everything? I've unlocked pretty much everything within Kerbin's SOI, is there any reason for conducting interplanetary science? Surely, I could fill out the entire tech tree with just 1 more planet. Why, then, would I do science all the way out to Eeloo if I've filled the tech tree? Is there an achievement, more parts, upgraded parts, anything?

title: What is a 'crab', and how does one perform/obtain one?

text: Ok, so there I was playing TF2, as a Spy (and doing quite well, at least by my low standards). When the other team begins with the usual friendly greetings, racial/sexual orientation slurs, as well as wondering how my mother was doing (so kind of them), when suddenly somebody bets me that I "can't even crab" Of course, my interest was piqued, and I inquired as to the origins of this phrase, and was deluged with calls of 'noob', with no real answer. So, what is a crab? Is it a wearable/unlockable or some sort of tactic/manoeuver?


title: RCON client or HLSW equivalent for Mac

text: Does one exists? I'm looking for a tool to remotely interface with my servers via RCON (CS 1.6, TF2, CS:S).


title: Understanding the fine print for blindness

text: The description for blindness says simply that the "next outgoing attack" misses. What, exactly, for the purposes of this condition, constitutes an _attack_? For instance, if a warrior is blinded and then uses his hundred blades skill (which consists of up to 8 "strikes"), does he miss only on the first strike or do all the hundred blade strikes miss, i.e. is the _attack_ just the first _strike_ or all 8? Also, what happens with AoE attacks? Let's say a blinded ele starts a meteor shower, does each little meteorite miss? Does the first foe to walk into a blinded necro's mark of blood get to walk through unscathed and any subsequent foes are less lucky? Or are AoE skills exempt from being affected by blindness? To get a little more complicated, take the case of a thief using his black powder skill while blinded. Obviously the shot won't do any damage (thus ridding the thief of blindness), but does the combo field (smoke) still get created? If so, are nearby foes blinded themselves? Is the target blinded (even if the target isn't "nearby", the black powder skill combos with itself to cause blindness) despite the shot "missing"? I know this is getting into the nitty gritty details of the condition but was hoping someone would have some more insight into its intricacies than I've been able to gain from searching and reading the wiki.


title: How do I Scavenge?

text: So, in my last town, no one really outlined scavenging all that well to me. How does autosearch work? Do I just leave it going, and come back to find items? What happens if my rucksack is filled and I'm still autosearching? Do new scavenged items simply get placed on the ground? Or do I stop finding things? Is it better if I put down all of my stuff before leaving my character to autosearch?

title: How do I zoom the map in and out in Far Cry 2?

title: Can I stack shield recharge delay bonuses?

text: My commando currently has 5 points in Willing for -60% recharge delay, and I've also got a Tactician class mod, which gives -26% recharge delay to my team. Do skill bonuses stack/combine in any way with class mod bonuses? If they do, is there a limit?


title: What can I do with artifacts I don't plan to use?

text: While playing, I often end up owning more artifact weapons than I need. Since I can't `#twoweapon` with two artifact weapons, I really don't need more than one at any time. The wiki page about artifacts says that I should not sell them because the shopkeepers don't pay much for them. I would just carry them around, but they are kind of heavy and it's not worth being burdened for a weapon I'm not going to use. Is there anything useful I can do with them besides sticking them in a box somewhere for the rest of the game?


title: What are the Benefits of having a Guild?

text: Which benefits may apply for people for being members of guilds? I Know that there is a "Guild Influence" system but I'm not sure how it works.


title: Are there any preferable stats for World vs World combat?

text: I am currently leveling my Guardian, and even though I'm not yet level 80, I'm already planning my gear in upfront. Since I really like World vs World, I was wondering whether it's better to be a "Glass Cannon" or a "Tanky" in this brutal environment. I may be wrong, but World vs World seems to me to be a place where numbers are better than quality when it comes to players - in that more players is better than well geared players. Am I wrong in this? So theoretically, being able to stay alive longer would be better for the team. Which are the "better" stats to stack when doing Player vs Player in Guild Wars 2?


title: Do old trophies carry over to new games?

title: Can you make an Ectoplasmator into a staff?

text: In Runescape I see people with what look like an ectoplasmator attached to a staff. How is this possible? It would be nice to make a weapon out of it because it looks good and people say it has a good combat boost. Is this possible or is it just a cosmetic hoax?


title: What penalties do reaction shots receive?

text: I was looking through the Sniper skill tree and saw this skill: > Opportunist: Eliminates the Aim penalty on reaction shots, and allows > reaction shots to cause critical hits. Until reading that, I didn't even realize that reaction shots had an aim penalty and couldn't cause crits. What kind of aim penalty do they normally receive? Are there any other sorts of penalties?

title: Minecraft Not Using All of RAM

text: My Minecraft has been crashing a lot lately. I've tried everything, batch files, going into the Control Panel settings, all I could. This is the problem: When I play Minecraft, I turn on my F3 view. The RAM will go up and up in percentage until it reaches 20% of RAM being used. It will then go back down to 8%. But if it gets to **21%** or RAM being used, the game will crash. How do I fix this problem? **Edit:** I was going through my Downloads folder and found three Java error messages, most likely from Minecraft. Here is the message: **Second Edit:** Somebody asked me to determine if I had the path set up correctly by informing me to do the following: > An easy way to determine this is fire up your CMD and type java -d64 > -version. If it returns a successful message, you should be running the > 64-bit version of Java. The result was the command box displayed that it was an unrecognized function and could not run the JVM. I'm guessing it is because the path is not set up properly. How do I set the path to the 64 bit version of Java so I can use it with Minecraft?               #     # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:     #     #  EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x4e30fe65, pid=4892, tid=7508     #     # JRE version: 7.0_02-b13     # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (22.0-b10 mixed mode windows-x86 )     # Problematic frame:     # C  [ig4icd32.dll+0x44fe65]     #     # Failed to write core dump.

title: Are inventory unlocks specific for each character?

text: The bag slots that can be unlocked (for 400 gems each, currently) are just for the character that purchases them or you only have to unlock them once for the account? Also related, I assume that unlocking storage in the bank is at an account level, but I'd also like to confirm this.


title: How do I know what day it is in Pokemon Black & White?

text: I am playing Pokemon White and I noticed there are decent amount of events that occur only on specific days. Now my problem is that I have no idea which day is it in-game at any time and I don't want to visit those event places every few minutes to check am I currently in that day required for event. I tried going through all menus in the game and just couldn't find anything, and I Googled a lot and couldn't find an answer. Does anyone know is there a way to check which day is it in Pokemon White (and Black)?

Is there anyway to get rid of that? The block is unbreakable in the game even in creative mode. Its glitched out. Here's a screenshot. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/FVnLI.png)


title: In what order should I take levels in Holy Fire and its synergies to maximize damage?

text: Obviously, after maxing Holy Fire and its synergies, the damage will be the same regardless of which skills I took in which order. If I want to max the damage for my Holy Fire Paladin during play, however, what order should I take points in Holy Fire, Resist Fire, and Salvation (if at all before the end)? Essentially, I want to maximize my damage at each individual level in order to stand the best chance against the minions of hell. If the order for damage is different from the passive weapon damage it gives vs. the AoE aura damage, the damage on the weapon should be prioritized higher than the damage for the aura.


title: What are good character builds in Puzzle Quest 2?

text: I've noticed that when I play tournament style a lot of the monsters have good synergy between their abilities.

title: How does the Link Amp mod affect the maximum link range for portals in Ingress?

text: The Link Amp mod is now available to be installed on portals. However, its leaked description only mentions that it increases the maximum link distance, without providing any numbers. So... What is the exact effect of a Link Amp mod on the maximum linking distance? Is the effect cumulative if several Link Amp mods are installed? Also - this will be harder to test until we will start getting the mods from regular hacks, but do these mods have 'levels' such as shields? Very Rare Link Amps allow to create longer links than Rare Link Amps?


title: Does being untargetable prevent all effects?

text: Being untargetable (Yi's Alpha Strike, Fizz's Playful/Trickster, Fiora's ult, etc.) prevents lots of bad things from happening to you, but does it stop everything such as:   1. AoE effects      * Nunu's ult (damage and/or slow?)     * Morgana's ultimate (if untargetable, can she not start cast at all, or if already on, will it "break" the leashes?)   2. DoT ticks      * Ignite     * Morde's ult     * the end of Vlad's ult   3. Global spells      * Karthus's Requiem (ult)     * Twisted Fate's Destiny (ult) Does "untargetable" mean literally that, that no targeted spells ("click- targeted" spells, skill-shots, or targeted AoEs work) land but non-targeted (point-blank AoE, global) do? (But still, what about DoTs...)

title: Is the Blaster Launcher worth the time required to obtain it?

text: My team is all geared out with full plasma weapons, psi armor, and ghost armor. My Gallop Chamber is built and I'm ready to go... but I haven't seen any battleships and therefore haven't had a chance to research and acquire a Blaster Launcher. I understand that you can sometimes trigger a Battleship by letting a detected UFO go unharmed, but what if the Fusion Core I need is damaged? And then what of the time spent researching? Is the Blaster Launcher worth all this trouble or should I just go for the endgame and keep my eyes peeled for battleships in future games? For the purposes of answering this question, I am uninterested in novelty and speaking strictly about whether or not the weapon imparts a significant battle advantage.

title: How can I play vs A.I. on a set difficulty on a random map?

text: I use to play a lot of 2v2 and 3v3 with random people vs A.I. on hard or very hard slowly working my way towards the Supreme Command achievement. But with Heart of the Swarm they changed it so that when you choose to play vs AI from the Matchmaking menu it sets the difficulty depending on how you preform vs A.I. I do not want to play every other game vs Elite AI and some times I just want to relax a bit and only play vs Harder A.I. but I still don't care about what map I play on or with who as long as it counts towards my achievement. **Is there a way of looking for vs A.I. games as it was before HotS where I can set my race and the difficulty and play 2v2 or 3v3 with random people on a random map?**


title: If a takeover is used in co-op, does the second player also get the activities completed?

text: In _Animal Crossing: New Leaf_ , when Katrina tells your fortune 20 times... > ...she opens a Fortune Shop on Main Street, allowing you to visit her much > more often. Can players that visit from other towns contribute to this count, or is it only for residents of the host's town? I know that visitors from other towns can have their fortunes told, but I am not sure if it counts towards the host town's total.

title: In Fez, how do I lower to the bottom door without dying?

text: I'm outside the observatory (where the telescope room is) and I can't get to the bottom. I got up by way of the grassy flipping squares but I can't take the same way down. Getting to the door at the bottom is the only way I can continue playing but there is no way of lowering without dying. Help! PS I tried resetting, pressing A before landing, etc


title: Why do the same bans often occur in ranked play at Bronze and Silver ELO?

text: I've noticed that in Bronze and Silver ELO (Specifically 1100-1400), certain champions are almost always banned. These include   * Amumu [tank]   * Malphite [tank]   * Shen [tank]   * Blitzcrank and sometimes   * Singed [tank]   * Darius   * Diana   * Katarina   * Morgana Why is it that these champions are more likely to be banned than others? Also, why are tanks often banned in ranked play? I don't believe it's because the champion is overpowered. This thread may be closed, due to Why are characters banned in tournament play for DotA-likes? but I really want to be more specific right now. Also, these bans aren't very common in professional level play, so why are these champions so often banned at the 1100-1400 ELO? Please note I'm talking about a specific ELO so the answer would be different than the link above.


title: What's new in Okami HD compared to the original?

text: So after hunting around the various review sites and message boards, I still have one question about this game: Aside from the updated graphics, is there anything new in this version of the game? I've played the Wii version, as well as the Okamiden game for the DS.


title: Game freezes at load screen after latest patch

text: It appears that after I patched Black Ops II, the load screen won't show up. Instead, my Xbox freezes when I try to start the game, and I'm forced to turn the power off and turn it back on (or manually eject the disc) for regular function (without use of the game). Is there any fix for this? For the record, I've attempted to resolve the issue by:   * Deleting the system cache.    * Deleting the update.    * Reinstalling the update. You should also note that:   * I've set Black Ops so that it starts straight into Xbox Live.   * I never took the game disc out of the Xbox, nor was the system moved at any point -- there were no physical disruptions involved whatsoever. Are there any other options?


title: Is there any way to get controller support for GTA San Andreas on PC?

text: I've come back to this problem myself several times and I've tried using some programs that can map the buttons of my gamepad to keys. But with these I've always run into the same problem of getting into a vehicle and the different control scheme messing everything up. Has anyone else come up with a solution?


title: How can I choose which chapter to play in Spartan Ops?

text: I have completed chapter one with friends in a private match and I just finished playing chapter 2 online, but there does not seem to be an option to choose which chapter to play when online matchmaking. I want to play chapter one online so I can get it on legendary and after that I want to go to chapter 3 but I only have the option to play chapter 2 online. Can somebody tell me how I can choose or is there no option to choose?


title: How can I list all of my steam games I've ever downloaded in my library?

text: Some time ago I downloaded a bunch of steam games, that later I found out I couldn't play due to my shit graphics card. Now that I got a new one, I want to re download them, but they don't show up in my library, only some do. Also, I did I system restore to my pcs original settings and things. Is here any way I can list all of the games?

I'm about to open the server to a friend who is inexperienced with Minecraft and I'm concerned about creeper damage. **Is there a server-side mod compatible with with Minecraft 1.4.6 & the MindCrack modpack which is able to nerf creeper explosions such that they do not break blocks?** Bukkit is not an option as it is not compatible with this modpack.


title: How are both Jyggalag and Peryite the Daedric Prince of order?

text: I've played Skyrim through several times (as a good guy and a bad guy) and while I'm waiting for the next game, I decided to play Oblivion. I'm really impressed with the continuity between the two games. But one thing is really bugging me; in Skyrim, Peryite is the Daedic prince of order and tasks, however in the Shivering Isles expansion of Oblivion, Jyggalag is the Daedric prince of order. What's up with that?


title: Monk heirloom pieces

text: With MoP coming out soon enough, I was wondering if it's too early to prepare and have all of the required heirloom pieces for leveling a monk? I have justice points waiting to be spent and I'm not entirely sure which ones would best fit a monk in the upcoming release. Is this information known yet? Are we dealing with an unknown? If this data is available, what heirlooms should I pick up to prepare for a monk that I'd like to level in MoP?


title: How does Blinded and Confused work?

text: I have a doubt about the interaction between Binding Flash and Blinded and Confused.   * Normal enemies in this case are blinded for 3 seconds, but if the 25% chance of Blinded and Confused triggers what happens? They are not blind anymore and attacks near enemies instead?    * What happens to elite enemies, can they be also affected by confusion? If yes, and they attack each other, they always hit or they have 30% miss chance?

title: How is JP calculated at the end of battle?

text: What determines how much JP you earn at the end of each battle? One thing I can determine is that each enemy has a set number that you are awarded, but how can you increase this? In a test of fighting the same enemy, I have been rewarded with 15, 16, 18 and 22 JP at the end of a battle.


title: Is it necessary to touch the mystery block?

text: In Pixel Hell for iOS, you have to touch the pixel citizens before they fall into the fire. I am pretty bad at the game because I just started, but the first level has a mystery block that gives you a mystery power up. It could be good or bad, depending on your luck. Is there really a necessity to touch the mystery box? I don't want to take chances in figuring out because whenever it shows up, I'm only down to one life.


title: How to itemize top AD Nidalee for max damage?

text: I have been playing AD Nidalee top a lot lately, I usually get 1-2 Dorans and rush Triforce. I'm not sure what should I get after Triforce though to max my damage output. Should I build like an ADC or more like an Assassin or Bruiser? Is Hydra a good item on her?


title: Does Detector Rail activate when an empty minecart passes over it?

text: With the 1.5 update, I've been looking at some of the new minecart features. I'm looking to replace my "traditional" boosters with powered rail, which should be easy enough, but I've also incorporated auto return for empty carts. If detector rail activates when empty carts roll over it, then it obviously won't work, and I'll have to continue using traditional boosters, at least for the stations. The mincraft wiki isn't clear whether detector rail will activate or not.


title: Weapon challenges not registering

text: I don't think I understand how the weapon challenges work. I always use the same weapon, yet I have 0 progress, in it's challenges. How do I make the challenges count? Do I need to select it somehow? Marksman (get 10 kills) and Expert (get 5 headshots) are both unlocked (There's no lock icon next to them, in the overview), yet they have no progress.


title: Is there a way to see Minecraft's source code?

title: How do you manually attack objects or enemies in Dungeon Keeper 2?

text: I'm feeling a bit dumb here but I can't for the life of me figure out how you manually order units to attack enemies; for example, an enemy tile or cannon (which does not belong to me). At the moment I can only make my units attack by placing them on my own tiles as near as the enemies as possible; however, this doesn't quite cut it.

title: Can I disable ghosts?

text: I'm really tired of being killed by myself as I delve into the dungeon. I am very overpowered in ghost form, apparently, and it's really annoying to have to run away. Is there any way that I can tell the game that I want to play as if it's my first ever game, i.e. without dealing with former-mes running around trying to kill current-me?


title: I can't find Louis Letrush

text: So I beat off all the mercenaries in Black Briar lodge and rode away to safety on Frost with his lineage papers. I followed the quest marker to where I was supposed to meet Louis (a little north of Riften), and nothing. I can't find him anywhere. Do I need to wait for a certain time of day? I told Maven Black- Briar of the plot. Would that have an effect? I want to finish this quest. UPDATED: So after fast traveling to a new city, to see if that would trigger him to show up, the prompt for Frost now says "Ride Frost" instead of "Steal Frost." Does that mean I can no longer finish the mission?


title: How far can mobs see?

text: How far can mobs see? I know if I have my render distance set to far then I can see mobs before they see me. Does anyone know precisely how far a mob can see? This would be really nice to know since I could simply make sure there is water around my island that goes further than mobs can see.

title: Does installing Mass Effect 3 on the Xbox 360 Hard Drive make the elevators faster?

text: I remember that in previous Mass Effect games, elevators were used for loading times, so I remember taking many rides on the slowest elevators in the world. In Mass Effect 3, I would like to reduce my time spent in elevators as much as possible. I know some games have reduced loading times when installed to the Xbox 360 hard drive, such as Halo Reach, but others, such as Halo 3 actually had longer loading times when installed. Plus, it might not be useful to take up space on the hard drive with the game if there is no benefit. So, does Mass Effect 3 load faster when installed to the Xbox 360 hard drive?


title: How to get a slowly expanding world border in Minecraft?

text: I can't seem to be able to refuel the Cybran unit carrier, the dragonfly. It doesn't have the "dock to refuel and repair" order in its menu, like other air units do; directing it to an airfield, cruiser or aircraft carrier causes them to pointlessly circle around.

What are the weapon and armor stats for the exclusive pre-order DLC, namely:   * AT-12 Raider   * Chakram Launcher   * M-55 Argus   * M-90 Indra   * N7 Collector's Edition Pack   * N7 Warfare Gear   * Reckoner Knight Armor


title: What does the number next to the skull and crossbones mean?

text: In Sid Meier's Pirates (on the Wii in my case), when sailing there is a minimap with various symbols and numbers next to it. The manual that comes with the game makes no mention of what these symbols/numbers mean. I figured out most of them, but am still unsure what the number next to the skull and crossbones icon actually means. Any ideas?


title: What exactly does the Blood Orb do?

text: Once you get into the ancient Egyptian-style area, you can grab the Ancient Crate and get a random ancient item. One of these is the Blood Orb, which has a stats screen description that states the following: > An orb that holds some life-energy inside. Consume it to replenish health. The one time I managed to get my hands on the Blood Orb, I'm quite sure I had full health. I used it, and a fifth heart of a golden color was added to my HUD. The little Excavatorrr head to the left of the hearts, however, had his eyes changed to a glowing golden color. Before I had time to test too much, however, I was smashed by one of those horrifying skull traps and died immediately. The Blood Orb and its side effects strike me as particularly demonic, and a lot of items in CWOUN are terrifyingly volatile - is there any negative effect it carries with it? What effects does it have and in which cases, specifically?


title: Relic effect end affecting current action

text: If I activate a relic, which has crit chance on it, and, at the end of it's 20 second duration, I am in the middle of an ability, is the chance of the ability to crit taken from when the ability was started(during which crit chance was higher) or from when it ends(when crit chance returns to it's normal amount)?


title: What can continuously block a scan area?

text: In Battlefield 4 in commander mode I recently had a game where a large area was blocked from scanning for virtually the whole map (it started about mid game of a 3000 ticket game and then didn't end and didn't move an inch, or even a pixel for over 10 mins) It was a very long match and the enemy commander used EMP UAV's in other places, so it wasn't that. Was it a bug? A deployable? How can I counter this?

title: Do you still get War Assets that count on the ending after... (spoilers)

text: ... attacking the base of the Illusive Man? Right now I am at 5015 Military Strength and did not get my EMS up yet. Considering that I need 5k (did not destroy the Reaper Base in ME2) to get the best Ending, I would have to play for 100% Readieness which I am not really up to. Can I still get it to like 6000 at this point? I did collect a fair share of stuff from Planets etc, but not everything. However, those assets tend to be like 25 points only, so I don't think it would make such a big difference. I am also pretty much out of Quests.. ![War Assets](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GxC9G.png) ![Journal](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AvoVX.png)

title: Is there an aggregating service for online content distribution systems?

text: I have bought games from a few online shops, like Steam, Desura, GoG, Origin, Battle.NET and probably a few others. It is annoying to know/remember where I bought each game, so I'm wondering if there is a program that can collect all the information about what/where I bought and present them in consistent manner. Any ideas? (I know I can add custom launchers to e.g. Steam, but the simply won't work if I don't have the games installed so that's not what I'm looking for.)


title: Are there more gems than I need?

text: I know I have missed gems in the levels I have played, and that got me wondering - I know the game tells me how many gems I have out of 800 (I am assuming that is how many are total in the game), but if I miss some, is that okay? Or will I have to go back later and get every last one in every area to be able to finish the game?

title: PlayStation 3 wireless controllers won't connect to the system, screen won't even turn on

text: I got a new game for the PS3 recently and was hoping to try it out yesterday, but to my surprise, when I turned on my PS3, two things happened:   1. The controllers wouldn't connect at all.   2. The screen started up, but never went to the menu. I pressed the PS button on both of my two controllers and plugged both of them into the console separately, but to no avail. Today, I went to check on it and now the screen won't even turn on. Now I'm really worried because that means that it's not just a problem with the controllers, but with my PS3. I've had my PS3 since late December 2007, so I'm really hoping that my PS3 isn't having problems after just four years. Now I've been trying to find solutions online and all of them that I've found so far have to do with holding the power button for 10 seconds. I've already tried this and it hasn't helped. Now I don't want to go to any drastic measures unless there is NO OTHER WAY of fixing it. So I ask of you all: What is wrong with my PS3? How do I fix it?


title: Is it possible to use dual monitors with World of Warcraft?

title: How can I finish marriage ceremony in Skyrim (bug workaround)?

text: I have the same problem as many others have reported. When I attend the marriage ceremony, everything goes alright until my turn to answer to Maramal with the option "Yes, I do". After that, Maramal is still speaking but my potential wife is already leaving the temple and ceremony. So... the problem is that I didn't obtain a wedding ring, which I believe is essential to be "married". Also, if I speak to my potential spouse quickly after Maramal's speech while still in the temple, I have no option in conversation for asking her "Where we are going to live?" She just leaves the ceremony and returns to her place. So something is broken that prevents me from getting "married" and completing the marriage quest. I also note that the priests in the temple of Mara are still sitting at their chairs, waiting to finish the ceremony - which causes me to further suspect a glitch. Any suggestions?

title: How does Difficulty scale damage in Torchlight 2

text: I made an an engineer with 2:1 VIT to STR, max bulwark and aegis shield, I find that at level 60 he is dying from 1 hit champions, boss attacks a little too often. Also regular mobs are hitting him pretty hard. He is a summoner with many of the +X% to minion damage. This is on Veteran difficulty. I would change to normal, but his minions clearing mobs so fast, they basically die within 1-3 seconds of appearing on the screen. He just walks from room to room basically. My problem is that I do not want to play where I can die from 1 hit, especially with that much defense, yet I cannot set any lower as the game is already easy enough in terms of killing. I am thinking about making a new char altogether as I do not see this build as viable anymore for me. As for a new character, at which difficulty level would 1 hit kills not be an issue, yet the game still challenging enough? Perhaps better yet, does anyone know what changing the difficulty actually does in terms of scaling (ie: is a simple multiplication factor applied to all monsters damage?) For the sake of the above example, defense stats: The char also has max healing bot for his level, which is 12). ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/TV2MN.jpg)


title: Are there intended class counters?

text: So hearthstone is primarily PvP based and thus I wonder if there are some intended counters. I already noticed that I usually struggle vs Warriors as a hunter player, but I rarely have problems vs a Warlock or Priest. Of course the skill level is a huge determining factor of a win or loss but most PvP oriented games have intended class counters.

title: Do Oracles of Ages & Seasons play in Game Boy Color mode or Game Boy Advance mode on the 3DS?

text: In the original release for _The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages_ and _The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons_ the games supported some extra content when played on a Game Boy Advance. Is that the case with the downloadable versions for the 3DS as well?


title: How to get the Hero in Suikoden 1 to join the party?

text: In Suikoden 2, is it possible to get the Hero from the first Suikoden to join the party? If yes, how and when can we do it?


title: What is the name of the helmet shown on the loading screen?

text: So I saw a helmet during a loading screen and can't figure out what it is. I know it's not part of any of the sets, but I can't figure out what it is. ![Mysterious Helmet](http://i.stack.imgur.com/RJOnM.jpg) Anyone know what that is?


title: How can I defend against Counter?

text: I've noticed, that some of the enemies I fought possess the **Counter Skill**, especially in the Golden Pack DLC. As a result of this skill, many of my most trusted and powerful allies have come dangerously close to meeting their Maker. How can I prove to Morgan, my child, that I am indeed the best Tactician in the world, by not risking the lives of my friends to such a dangerous skill?


title: What exactly is QSS? Added new terms

text: I was reading a response to one of my questions and I came across a term I have no idea what it means. QSS as well as like CS... really I could use someone to tell me what all the terms in league of legends mean. XD Total noob status with not knowing the terms. XD going to add a few terms to this list. IAS   Pilling   Sigils   DD   QQ   and last but not least PUG


title: When is the maintenance available?

text: I was playing Pixel People and I pressed the **Arrival Center** to splice a new clone. Then, I see the word _maintenance_ on the bottom. After pressing maintenance, I am greeted by another screen with repair on it. Then, I pressed repair and it told me that all systems were functional. Is there a time where there are faulty systems?


title: Where can I find wolves?

text: Wolves? What wolves? I have only spotted _ONE_ wolf in playing minecraft for the past two weeks! Can anyone tell me where I can find one? Is there some sort of biome they prefer? Are the spawning rules for wolves any different from regular critters?


title: As a PS3 gamer, what can I expect in the aftermath of the PSN security breach and system outage?

text: I've seen a few vague (very) details from Sony, including the free month of Playstation Plus for existing users, but I don't know exactly what to expect and what I'll get. The last I read the services were to be turned on in phases starting May 1st, but here it is, the 4th, and the East Coast of the US is still dark. I gather I should change my password once I'm online, but how do I know which information is going to be encrypted going forward? Also, how do I join the class action lawsuit against Sony? I know many people find this gauche because the service is "free", but I am repulsed by their inability to encrypt personal data, financials, and passwords. Totally inexcusable for a service of their size and exposure, and I want some revenge.


title: How do I survive?

text: Played Project Zomboid for the first time in a year or so. If you haven't played it in a while the difficulty has increased 10-fold. Trying to survive more than a few minutes after leaving the house you spawn in is very challenging. Even though you start with a baseball bat, you cannot handle more than maybe 2 zombies at a time if you're quick. With all the cool end-game stuff I've seen, I would like to know what I need to be doing to survive long enough to be able to handle the zombies. More specifically, how do I live long enough to get what I need to fight off the horde?


title: How does Martial Cadence (Jarvan IV) work?

text: Who can explain me the Marcial Cadence (Innate) ability of new champion, Jarvan IV? > Jarvan IV's first attack on a target deals 6/8/10% of their current Health > as bonus physical damage (max: 400 damage). This effect cannot occur on the > same target for 6 seconds. (Levels up at levels 1/7/13)


title: What do I do with the stones in the Wending Wood?

text: In the Wending Woods in DA:O:A, there is an arrangement of stones which go back to some sort of Tevinter enchantment. When you first arrive, there's a stone missing, but I've found the missing stone, put it in place, and played around with activating the other stones that light up to create the lines of fire. There's obviously some sort of puzzle to solve here, but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do. Can someone give me a gentle, non-spoilery hint as to what I need to do to solve this puzzle? Alternately, is there an in-game object that I need to get that will point me in the right direction?


title: DLC for PAL Xbox 360 while in USA

text: I bought a PAL xbox 360 and now live in the USA (NTSC). So, how can I buy DLC or games from the Xbox marketplace (on the xbox) on a PAL system frmo a NTSC marketplace? Each time I try to buy a game it says the game is from a different region than the game.


title: What does it mean to be detected or raise suspicion in Thief?

text: A couple of times now people have asked in comments what exactly counts as "raising suspicion", or being "detected" etc. Since no one has actually posted it as a question... What are the different NPC alertness levels in Thief and how do they effect the game-play and end of mission report?


title: The foul depths of the Quality Well

text: After reading about Development Hell and the unburied Jay Wilson, I happened to stumble upon the Quality Well (on Nightmare) whilst clearing out Old Tristram. Upon my decent into the dark murkiness of the well, I found it populated by all manner of foul, lurking beasts: Blizzard QA zombies. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eEo1S.jpg) Is there any other purpose behind the Quality Well, other than to show off the undead QA team?


title: The purpose of the Thieves Guild

text: Is there any purpose to the Thieves Guild other than to introduce the Scoundrel? Do they show up again in a random dungeon/cave?


title: How does auction house commerce work on commodities?

text: When you post a commodity such as a `Radiant Ruby`, you get to choose how many you'll be putting up for auction (direct buy really) and your asking price. You are also presented with a sales average of how much people spent on that particular item yesterday. When you attempt to buy a commodity, you just get a fixed price, not all the different offers. So I'm left wondering about many things about the auction house, like:   * How does the auction house choose which player it "buys from" for each purchase.   * How is the asking price compensated (or inflated) related to the price the buyer actually pays.   * If the posted item's asking price is greater than what the buyer pays for it, does the AH put up the rest of the payment?   * Am I still going to get buyers if I place an item with a very high (or very low?) asking price? The one time I sold any commodity on the AH it was tooth/essense from normal difficulty which I no longer had a need for, and they sold almost instantly, so I wondered what would've happened if I asked for more gold, for instance. The AH is so simplified in this capacity that it confuses me about what the inner workings are.


title: Minecraft refuses to use more than 1G of RAM, even via Command Prompt

text: I created a program in the past using VB.net that launched Minecraft using the following parameters:               javaw.exe -Xmx2G -jar "C:\Users\DarkWolffe\Documents\Games\Minecraft\Minecraft.exe"      It was working for a long time, until just recently when a friend who also uses it noticed that his client was no longer launching with the desired amount of memory, and was instead defaulting back to having just under 1GB. I use shaders, so memory is something I find myself having a lot of lust for. I've tried using the command-line parameters in this thread with no luck, I've tried an argument for garbage collection, nothing has worked. I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro x64 with both 32- and 64-bit versions of Java installed for browsers and Minecraft, respectively.


title: In Diablo 3, I buy stuff in the auction house but I don't know where to find it

text: When I buy things in the Diablo 3 auction house, it says I completed the purchase (gold purchases, not cash) but when I go to my stash in game, it's not there. Or in my inventory. I only am using 1 hero right now also.


title: How do I stop the Pairodd from killing me?

text: I am in the Key Cavern and am trying to kill a pair of Pairodd. Problem is, they keep killing me before I can kill them, and I would really like for that to stop. How do I kill them? For reference, this is the enemy I mean: ![Pairodd](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Xtg4O.jpg)


title: Battlefield 3 spectator mode

text: Is there any type of spectator/chase mode within Battlefield 3? And if there is, does it take up a slot on the server? If it matters any, I play on the PC.


title: Cannot Pardon My Sins

text: I am in a bit of a predicament to say the least. I am currently in my second playthrough and, before starting NG+, I had the bright idea of murdering every single NPC in the game. Needless to say, the game gods were not pleased and I was labeled a "sinner". Regardless I thought to myself: "whatever, I will be fine once I start my next playthrough... I'm sure my slate will be clean." Oh how wrong I was... Now, I am getting invaded every 5 minutes by an arbiter out for revenge. But that's not even the worse part... After finally making it to > Brightstone Cove Tseldora (Chapel Threshold) I met with my good pal > Cromwell the Pardoner _(we go way back)_ However, whenever I try "Ask for pardon", he tells me `you have not sinned`, which is simply wrong... Not to mention, my Player Info section clearly labels me as a sinner. Does anyone know of a way to pardon my sins?


title: What Does Plum Juice Taste Like?

text: So, apparently everyone in town received some Christmas gifts in Die2Nite, including a _Utility Belt_ , a _Letter With no Address_ , and a vial of _Suspicious Looking Plum Juice_. Now, I do love Plum Juice dearly, so normally I'd just quaff it in one go, but a few things are stopping me.   * There is a little skull and crossbones in the icon for the Juice - It matches the one in the icon for _Poison_. Hmmm...   * I was **warned** , as was everyone else involved in the game a few days beforehand with the following: _"Don't drink the Plum Juice!"_ Does anyone know definitively what the Plum Juice does? * * * Here is some information and speculation from a current member of my town: > Apparently it does absolutely nothing, according to the forums, making it > really only useful for cooking meals? > > I think, unless it's a joke by the developers, that it has a delayed effect, > maybe giving you an infection in a night or two. This way they'd trap the > most people into drinking it.


title: Why is Minecraft lagging?

text: I know you might think this is a stupid question form the title, but hear me out. I bought a new Graphics card and power supply for my computer so that I could run games better. I got it and it works great- I can play games like Skyrim on full graphics with absolutely no lag. However, when I went back to play Minecraft on full-screen with upped settings, it still lags! Why is this, because my computer should be able to run no problem? My graphics card is a SAPPHIRE HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB GDDR5


title: Is there a 3rd party PS3 style controller for the Xbox 360?

text: I'd like to get a PS3 DualShock style controller for my Xbox 360. So far I only see Xbox 360 style PS3 controllers, not the other way around. Does anyone know of a PS3 style controller for the 360?


title: Do support gems link all, or just nearby gems?

text: If you have an item with 4 sockets, that are linked like so: 1--2--3--4 does that mean that a support gem in 1 would be supporting all gems (so in sockets 2,3,4), or just the one in socket 2?


title: Installing Evolution RTS on Linux Steam

text: I am trying to install the game Evolution RTS on Steam, but there seems to be a problem downloading the game? Note, that I have downloaded 0 bytes and yet the installation is complete. I verified the game cache and there was no problem detected. This game was released on Steam today via Greenlight, so maybe there is a problem with the server? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/odmgH.png)


title: What do the symbols when you recruit a new unit represent?

text: When you recruit units in Knights and Merchants there are symbols below the portrait of the unit you are recruiting. Although I know two of the symbols represent attack and defense, some units like the Pikeman have a third symbol. (looks like bunch of v's connected together) What does this symbol mean? Here is a picture: ![pikeman's symbols](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Nm4oB.jpg) How do all of these symbols translate to actual combat? If you have one defense does that mean you have to be hit one more time to die?


title: Where are all of the missile max upgrades?

text: Due to the use of late game topics, spoilers as follows. I want to see how quickly I can kill the Doctor, and I want to get enough missiles to destroy both forms of him. Through the game, I came across enough missile max upgrades to get it to 25 (only got 20, skipped the zombie sky dragon one). Are there any other ones I can collect, and if so, where are they?


title: How do I easily level up characters In Final Fantasy VII?

text: In Final Fantasy VII, I'm near the end of the 2nd CD: I would like to level up my characters in order to have chances to defeat Weapons. Where I can find monsters that give a good amount of EXP (better if easy to beat)? Can you suggest some alternative strategies to accomplish the grown of my characters? (I use Cloud, Tifa and Barret).


title: Is there a standalone free offline version of Minecraft?

text: I tried searching the website and couldnt find a question that answered this specific aspect of the game. Its very difficult for me to use the internet because of my location, and I have recently become interested in Minecraft. Im aware that there is a pay version that can be played offline once youve logged in once but the idea of doing anything internet related that requires almost any kind of talking between my computer and the internet is laughable where I am right now. Even just downloading it will probably take a day or more. Also with a connection like the one I have I sure as heck dont want to pay to play. Is there a way I can download the game, for free, and play OFFLINE, for free?


title: How to assess amount of network traffic generated by an online game?

text: The question is in the title - is there some (hopefully non-intrusive) tool, or a site that lists average traffic consumption for popular games? A friend of mine would like to play with me, yet he is on a plan that limits his monthly traffic, so I need to investigate before I can pick a game that we could play together.


title: How do I fix bugged quests on consoles?

text: I know that PC has console to fix their bugged quests, but is there a way to fix bugged quests on the 360 or for that matter, the PS3? My bug is I got a companion quest from Falkas to intimidate someone in Markarth. I didn't do it right away, got sidetracked with other things in the game, and finally went and completed the quest. The quest now says "Return to Falkas" and adds a marker over him. He doesn't allow me to complete the quest, he says "aren't you running a job for Vilkas? Come to me when you finished that." I'm going to assume that I'm SOL since the 360 doesn't have a console to run commands from. **EDIT** It seems as though I had another quest from Vilkas where I had to retrieve a Steel Dagger from Southfringe Sanctum. I completed that quest and was able to complete the quest for Falkas.


title: Mathematical calculation of current hand, minions, spells card worth

text: In chess or other similar strategy games you know the value of each piece and can easily calculate the current situation or what will be the best move according to those values. Is there such a system for heartstone? Example of what I am asking:   Yeti: 4/5 = 9 total value   Giant: 8/8 = 16 total value Argent squire: 1/1 + special = 2 + divine shield value Is something like this developed by players or blizzard? This question is asked to find out if there is a way to maximize the efficiency of our moves on a mathematical basis.


title: What is a strategy to earn the best defense achievement in StarCraft 2?

text: I have been attempting to earn the _Best Defense_ achievement in StarCraft 2. The _Best Defense_ is an achievement earned during the third mission of the Wings of Liberty campaign: _Zero Hour_. The goal of the mission is merely to survive 20 minutes, while awaiting evacuation. However, the achievement is earned by destroying 4 Zerg hatcheries during those 20 minutes. Thus far my strategies to accomplish this goal have failed. Has anyone devised a winning strategy to earn the achievement?


title: When comparing weapons or armor, what should I look at?

text: I am more of a serious gamer than a hardcore Diablo III player. This is nice in that the game is very accessible to all levels of gamers from casual to hardcore. However, I find some of the statistics in the game, especially those around armor and weapons, a little daunting. Having a big armor number is nice but it doesn't seem to take into account the other affects an item may have. When I am comparing two weapons or two pieces of armor, what are the very basic stats I should be looking at to see how they differ from one another to properly evaluate them? I am just looking for 2-3 things that I can take a quick look at and be able to determine a final yea/nay on if the items helps or not. I realize this will properly differ depending on class or how you want to play a character but I am looking for the baseline stats that may apply across all options.


title: Bioshock Infinite won't launch, goes to background everytime

text: In my PC, Bioshock infinite doesn't launch properly. 9 out of 10 times it minimizes itself on launching. Repeatedly attempts may lead to successful launch, but even after that after 1-2 hours it automatically reverts to Desktop(Game still runs in background though). I have disabled my Windows Defender. This is my configuration.               Windows 7 64 bit     6 GB RAM     Intel Core i5 2.3GHz     Geforce GT 525M      Thanks in advance

title: Can I play all WoW content with just the Battle chest?

text: I just got the World of Warcraft Battle chest last year, and I just got to play it. So I installed it. It took me to battle.net, I made an account, and clicked some starter edition option. I logged in and played, no problem. My question is: am I playing the battle chest, and do I have everything including the Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King?


title: How do tamed wolves interact with the passive mob limit?

text: I know there is a limit to the number of passive mobs that can be in the game at any one point. (I remember reading somewhere that the number is something around 15, but I'm not sure.) What I'm wondering is how tamed wolves interact with it. For example, take the following scenario: you have 3 less tamed wolves than the passive mob limit. The game logic attempts to spawn 4 chickens. Will the game just spawn 3 chickens instead? Or will it spawn 4 and remove one of the tamed wolves you currently have? Also, does this mean if you have filled the entire mob limit with tamed wolves, no other passive mobs will be able to spawn?


title: Is my "Games for Windows Marketplace" ID the same as my Windows Live ID?

text: I am able to sign in on xbox live and hotmail using the same credentials I am entering in the "games for windows marketplace" application. However, I get an error code 80048882 with the details being `Exception of type 'Microsoft.GamesForWindows.XLiveServices.LiveIdWrapper.IDCRLException' was thrown.` I have added the application to my firewall. Any ideas what causes this?


title: Celadon City Game Corner Slot Machine Odds

text: **What the the odds of the various slot machines in the Game Corner? Which machines have the best odds?** In both the original Red/Blue/Green/Yellow versions, as well as the remade FireRed/LeafGreen versions, an NPC will inform the player that the slot machines in the _Celadon City Game Corner_ all have varying odds. What are the specifics of these odds? Are the odds set or randomly arranged? How can this fact be exploited?


title: Does the shiny Gyarados always have good IVs?

text: I've heard that whether or not a pokemon is shiny in Gold/Silver is determined by its IVs but there is also the red Gyarados which is always shiny. Now does this Gyarados have the same "good" IVs that every other shiny have in 2nd gen or is it a let's say hard coded shiny whose IV are just as random as with every other pokemon?

title: Way to make Minecraft less grind-y?

text: I enjoy all the engineering mods, and I wanna spend my time setting up stuff like factories and breeding facilities, but I found that I'm mostly mining for various crap. I don't wanna switch over to Creative because that changes unrelated mechanics like Hunger, and I like having to unlock access to new material. I just wish I didn't have to farm for so much stuff. Is there a mod or something to fix that? Maybe something that massively improves yield for all the common materials?


title: How many people do we need to get the classic 25-man raid guild achievements?

text: I believe that we need 8 members to do the old 10-man raids for the guild achievements. I seem to vaguely recall a mention that 25-man would only need 8 people as well but I'm not sure if that made it out of beta. Also, do 40-man raids still exist? How many people do we need for those? Thanks in advance.


title: How to noclip in The Stanley Parable (2013)

text: I really appreciate the little jokes and funny things the developer put into this game, but how do I really enable cheats to get into noclip mode? I tried running the game with +sv_cheats 1 in command line, and binding "sv_cheats 1" to a key in the config.cfg file and then making the config file read-only. This worked with the unachievable achievement according to an answer to another question here. None of these things seem to work? Is there some kind of developer hack to get into noclip mode?
