title: What's the right position of each of the armors in the chateau?

text: I'm playing _Uncharted 3_ and in the chateau at some point you have to rotate all the armor to open some hidden door. The game directs you to Drake's diary which has the following image: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/RyPjQ.jpg) I tried rotating them so they all face each other, so they all look away from each other, but I think I'm missing some detail. **So how must I rotate the armors to continue?**

title: How deep does a pool of honey have to be to regenerate life?

text: I want to make a pool of honey in prep for boss battles, but I also don't want to have the honey make me move extremely slow either. Is it possible to make the honey shallow enough to provide regen, while not slowing me down?


title: How does the light ball work

text: If you give a electric type a light ball it doubles the power of the move (eg a 50 power move would be 100) but if the pokemon was an electric type it gets STAB which also doubles power. but if you have both does the light ball double the power of the moves base power (50) or the already doubled power from STAB which would bring the moves power to 200 instead of 150. So if you had an electric type with a light ball and the move had a power of 50 would it do 150 damage or 200 damage?

title: How long does it take to move into silver league?

text: I am rank 3 in my bronze league division in Starcraft 2. I just played a 4v4 quick match with 2 gold players and 1 silver player on my team, and 2 golds/2 silvers on the other team. And I wasn't the worst player on the list post- game, either. When will I be moved into Silver league?


title: Are there disadvantages to wearing armor as a mage casting spells?

text: There are mage robes in the game that give bonuses that are very useful to mages, like magicka regeneration. But currently I'm running around in armor, as a robe doesn't really protect me much if a bunch of undead are hitting me. I'm thinking of developing my character into some kind of battlemage, so I'm wondering if it makes sense to stay with armor while casting spells. Are there any penalties to casting magic when wearing light or heavy armor? If there are any, are they different for heavy and light armor?

title: Potions and poisons with both positive and negative effects

text: Using alchemy I combined Blue Mountain Flower and Hanging Moss to create a poison that had Damage Magicka Regen (100%) and Fortify Health effects, i.e. a positive and a negative effect. Does this mean if I use it to poison an enemy then they will not be able to regen magicka but will gain health? Also, is it possible to craft a potion with both positive and negative effects? If so, how is it decided if a poison or potion is created?

title: What is the longest route to hatch eggs?

text: I'm asking because to hatch eggs, it takes a certain amount of steps to hatch them. In Gen V, I would always use SkyArrow Bridge because it was simply too easy to hold up in one direction, then down in another direction. What's the longest possible route either horizontally or vertically in one direction (just holding one direction button) in all of Pokemon X & Y?


title: Who is the mysterious Arms Dealer?

text: During the Arms Deal and Bravo update in _Counter-Strike: Global Offensive_ , new guns were added to the game. The idea, according to Valve, is that the update " _lets you experience all the illicit thrills of black market weapons trafficking without any of the hanging around in darkened warehouses getting knifed to death._ " Valve has made artwork for both of these updates, and there is a strange man in both of them. In Valve's artwork for the Arms Deal update, the man is visible sitting on a case of weapons. In Valve's artwork for the Bravo update, the man is visible standing up. Who is this mysterious figure? Is he the leader of the Counter-Terrorists in CSGO? Or more likely, he supplies weapons to the Terrorists in CSGO? Some people say that he is the Gman from Half-Life. Or is he simply part of the artwork? I am curious to know the answer.


title: Does Jinx increase the additional damage of Hex to 20% or 30%?

text: The description of the Jinx rune is a little unclear, and therefore I'm uncertain if it increases the additional damage of Hex by 20% to a total of 30%, or if it only increases it by 10% to a total of 20%. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/yEUaY.png) How much does Jinx increase the additional damage buff provided by Hex?


title: What is the benefit of shields with Demon Hunters?

text: I'm currently a level 56 Demon Hunter with a crossbow and quiver. The best quivers I've seen give significant damage boosts, although with my bow it's not necessary (able to kill normal mobs relatively quickly on Hell difficulty). I've read that using a shield as your off-hand, typically something high in dexterity/vitality, is beneficial since Demon Hunters aren't the strongest class. While solo-ing I get low on health frequently (although I regain it pretty quickly due to near-constant crits and lifesteal), but in group play I'm almost always out of the line of fire. Long story short, why (and when) _should_ a demon hunter use a shield?

title: How do I nurture my pets?

text: In Fluff Friends Rescue, sometimes a message pops up above a pet that is either in a Vet Station, Food Station, Fun Station or Grooming Station that says "Tap to Nurture". This is different than the usual "Tap to Manage" message that lets you know how long it will be before you can place a pet up for adoption - there is no time countdown with this message. When I tap on it, my choices are to Fast Heal my pet (which costs premium currency that you either get for levelling or by paying real-world money) or to release the pet from care. I don't understand why I am getting this message, and I also wonder if I have to spend premium currency to fix it, or if there is something else I can do (like just waiting things out?) What do I do?


title: What am I supposed to do in a random event?

text: So far I've encountered two random events while driving around Los Santos. Both involved a street robbery. What am I supposed to do here? So far I've tried chasing the perps down on foot (and couldn't even get close) and running them over with my car. In one case, I hit the guy hard enough that I knocked him off an overpass... and then he got up and kept running. I sort of tried shooting them too, but they were too far away and my aim is terrible. So, how can I resolve these events?


title: What are the other game modes, and can they be unlocked in any other way?

text: In the IOS version of _Super Crate Box_ , what are the other game modes that can be unlocked: SFMT, and Ambush? I'm not even close to the requirement to unlock them on any map, and I'm wondering what I'm missing out on. Are there any known shortcuts/cheats to unlock the other modes?

Is it even possible though to get a marksman award with something that isn't a sniper rifle? I can get headshots with the shotgun, but it's extremely difficult getting 1 shot kills with headshot and a shotgun


title: Does changing enemy level ruin the 7-3 grind?

text: In Disgaea 3, if you get to stage 7-3 and pass a few 'Stronger Enemy Bills', you can get all the enemies to level 99. Now, apparently there is a bug which will make level 99 enemies give exp as though they were level 320 (I have been grinding 7-3 and gotten one character to 121 - reincarnate, 100 - reincarnate and he is now back up to 100+ and I just made him today!) I would like to take a break from grinding that stage and go level up some weapons - but now all the enemeies are super powerful (because of the stronger enemy bills). If I pass bills to reduce enemy level, then go level up some weapons, can I pass bills to make those character level 99 again and continue to exploit the level 320 exp trick?


title: How to defeat Stalker solo?

text: If solo, I can only face him in melee with Valkyr (lvl 24), but somehow Stalker cancels Valkyr's Hysteria ability (making me vulnerable to attacks again). I didn't try with the Cernos Bow: I wonder, if I hit him in the head will I instagib him or at least do massive damage (like 40% of his bar)? If not, are there any other efficient ways?

Please flag your answers for possible spoilers (if any).


title: Does FIFA 15 contain the momentum feature?

text: The so called "momentum" (or scripting/handicap) feature changes the abilities of the players on the pitch from game to game in a seemingly random manner, usually giving one of the teams a major advantage, while the other has an increased chance of failed passes or hitting the post. It was heavily featured in FIFA 13 and FIFA 14, which lead to a lot of discussion and is dreaded by many players, but EA apparently wants to keep it in to make matches more unique and give weaker players a better chance for winning once in a while against stronger opponents. Obviously this is a bad idea for online play, especially competitive play in leagues etc. **Is there any official information if momentum is included in FIFA 15 for online modes like Seasons?** The problem with simply checking it by playing is that you usually have to play a lot of matches to be able to tell that momentum exists (and you are not simply having a bit of bad luck).

title: What are some strong defensive formations that can be used in Civ 5?

text: Playing on deity difficulty is not easy. Often I am facing a numerically superior opponent whose reinforcements seem almost ceaseless and are technologically better armed than my armies. I therefore try to fortify my units as well as I can to increase their odds of survival and killing capacity. I have tried a few formations which have yielded some success such as creating batteries of fortresses, defending choke-points with melee units with ranged units at the rear, and interlocking fields of fire with great citadels. Has anybody found a particular pattern which maximizes killing efficiency? Certain unit compositions? Perhaps clever use of combined arms? Illustrations would be nice if you have the time but I don't expect any.

title: Is it possible to circumvent European censorship?

text: I've bought South Park: The Stick of Truth on the European PSN.

title: When optimizing for coins, should I stock the 3-coin items first or the 1-coin items?

text: Each business has items that sell for 1, 2, and 3 coins. The more coins they sell for, the longer it takes to stock. If I want to optimize to get the most money possible, should I stock the 1-coin items or the 3-coin items first? If I stock the 1-coin items first, then it will get stock on the floor quickly, but if I stock the 3-coin items first, then I'm making more money from the stock even though it takes longer and the store won't be making money during that time.


title: Why does my PS3 see media servers over wifi, but not a wired connection?

text: My PS3 is plugged into my FiOS router with a Cat5 cable. It gets an IP on my network (192.168.1.85) fine and is able to access a webserver on my lan fine. It also has no problem connecting to the Internet. However, it doesn't see either of the two laptops on my network that serve as media servers. What's weird is this: if I connect the PS3 to the router via wifi, it finds both laptops as media servers. I tried setting the IP statically via DHCP in the router, so the wired connection is 192.168.1.85 and the wifi is 192.168.1.86 and that didn't do anything. I also tried giving them the same IP but same issue. There's no firewalling going on in the router and the laptops are configured to allow all traffic from 192.168.1.0/24. To summarize:   * Media servers show up when PS3 is connected via wifi   * Media servers don't show up when PS3 is connected via cat5 Any ideas?


title: What units do defense buildings target first?

text: In trying to develop a good attack strategy, I need to know more about how the defense building AI works. As of this question there are seven different defensive buildings (cannon, archer tower, mortar, air defense, wizard tower, hidden tesla, crossbow). The game is pretty clear that some target ground, some air, and some both. What I am interested in is, given many eligible targets:   * In what order are targets attacked?   * Is it as simple as the first eligible target in range?   * Do targets queue (such that 2nd, 3rd etc will get attacked even if a closer target comes into range after the 1st one dies)?   * Do defensive buildings prioritize targets that are attacking them? These kinds of nuances make a big difference when selecting and deploying a raid group, since every unit is precious and you don't have exact control over where they path.


title: Which quests can be completed while in a raid group?

text: I noticed that the daily quest "Among the Champions", part of the Argent Tournament, in Icecrown can be completed while in a raid group. Are there any other quests that share this property?

title: What happens to unsold items on World of Warcraft Auction House?

Overnight I had a bid up but I'm not sure where they went. I checked my 'Auctions' tab and they weren't there and neither were they in my backpack. I also cancelled a bid because I got the prices wrong yet the item didn't return to me.


title: How can I build a melee/kite wizard?

Any suggestions on how I can improve my build?


title: Two-handed weapon builds/play-styles that are actually viable?

text: I started an Orc character last week in Skyrim and decided to make him a two- handed weapon bruiser. Just doing Bleak-Falls I needed lots of potions... My attack speed was so slow that while doing a standard attack with a Greatsword, I'd get hit one or two times before I even swing. I have since switched to a sword and shield tank build, I still think it would be fun to play a two-handed weapon specialist. So to make this build viable (meaning to me: not requiring 10,000 potions while fighting mudcrabs ;-) ), do I need to supplement with Alteration pre-combat buffs? Do I need to level/wait it out til I have more health? Do I need to play differently?


title: Does DPS change depending on the difficulty you're playing?

text: I mean I'm a level 26 Hunter and I have only 126 DPS max at the moment. When I read in forums, lots of people talks about "I have like 25k DPS" .... 25 000 DPS what! Is it because I'm playing normal so the weapons are not as good as in Hell or Inferno ? or It's when I'll reach higher levels that the DPS will increase ? The question is, does DPS change with depending on the difficulty you're playing ? **Edit** Why ppl are downvoting this :( I thought that was a nice question to ask no?

title: Zombyfycation dispels my zombies!

text: Zombyfycation lets me summon a lot of zombies, but from time to time casting it kills most of them. It's quite frustrating to have that happen when I'm at eight zombies and trying to raise three more with the last scraps of mana left, only to end up companionless and out of mana. Looking up several wikis provided me with texts that said the spell only allows a single zombie. This is confusing, because either there is a very obvious, game-breaking bug in the main skill of the Fleshsmithing tree (highly unlikely with any sort of maintenance on the game), or the texts have not been updated. The spell has a range of 3x3, which also makes no sense if it was meant to only raise at most one zombie. What is causing the dispels, and how should I prevent them?

text: I regularly play Minecraft with a reference site, such as Minecraftwiki, open in a browser window. However, I haven't found an easy way to alt-tab between the game and a browser when the game is in full screen. The fastest way I found yet is `Pause --> Options --> Video Settings --> Fullscreen off` but this becomes cumbersome pretty fast. I've already found these two questions here, but none of the options given there seem to work. I'm using Mac OS 10.8 and I've updated to the latest Minecraft release (1.6.4).


title: How can you reach the treasures of Frozen Castle?

title: How to make a joystick axis completely undetectable in Windows 7?

text: I have an old Saitek ST290 Pro USB joystick and I only have one problem: some games such as Jane's F-15 or F/A-18, will detect the stick's terrible, godawful throttle control, which is built into the controller, placed underneath my arm, and then, in a display of some developers' infinite genius, _require_ me to use it without giving me any option to disable it, often going as far as to disable in-game throttle on other controllers such as my keyboard. For those wondering, this is the joystick, the paddle/lever on the back is the throttle: ![Saitek ST290 Pro](http://i.stack.imgur.com/13KIc.jpg) All I need is for this throttle control to be completely undetected by Windows 7 or my games, as if it does not exist. I would especially appreciate something I could apply to "any" controller or joystick though I'll take a solution specific to my Joystick if I must. Suggestions I have tried which I can remember off of the top of my head:   * Generic Joystick Driver: I can't seem to find any for Windows 7 that aren't viruses/malware. I do have my computer set up to load unsigned drivers, such as XBCD.   * PPJoy: doesn't detect my joystick, and it's not parallel port anyway   * Use Joy2Key to map throttle to certain keypresses: Works only for a few games. Usual result is the throttle axis does absolutely nothing while the controls that are normally mapped to the throttle are completely disabled (in Jane's F-15 I'll have no throttle control whatsoever).   * Saitek's Joystick Profiler: no way of disabling an axis and all ways I have tried to manipulate the throttle axis (I can't remember the specifics) have had detrimental or no effect.   * Open the joystick and cut the cord to the throttle: throttle is detected but obviously does nothing because the wires to it are cut...   * Rewire the throttle to something like a thumb-dial or slider that is more accessible/practical to use: my electronics expertise peaked at putting the cords back together after doing the above.   * Buy a better joystick: no, I don't have that kind of money, I can't buy online anyway, and all joysticks I can find in local stores exhibit this exact same kind of throttle (under the arm) and so would lead me to this exact same problem.


title: Actual Effect of Taking a Blacksmithing Potion

text: There are three Blacksmithing potions in the Reckoning: Minor Blacksmith's Craft   Greater Blacksmith's Craft   Master Blacksmith's Craft And so far I have been using them in this way:   1. Swig a blacksmithing potion   2. Craft as many items as I can **But do these potions make the items I craft better**? In what ways? All the tooltip on the potion says is "+3 blacksmithing". Does that mean the only benefit is that I can scrap higher quality gear? Or will my crafted items be better? **Does taking one of these potions make any difference if my blacksmithing is already maxed out at 10?**

title: Is it possible to dock two Clampatron docking clamps at the same time?

text: I'm building a space station, and I've come to a point, where I need to dock two Clampatrons simulatenously. I'll explain what I mean with a little ASCII picture.

I know that while in the VAB and SPH, I cannot attach two attachment points at the same time, which is a problem sometimes.

text: I have this problem with _a lot_ of games on Steam and was wondering if there is a general fix. What happens is I go to install a game, it asks for admin permission, does it's thing, installs and runs fine. Then next time I try to run, it pops up with an admin permission box and asks for permissions again. Now usually here, it doesn't actually matter whether I hit "OK" or "Cancel", the game still runs. The game was installed correctly, but Steam doesn't recognize it as such. It's a minor annoyance, but I'd like to be able to get rid of it. I think one of the main culprits are the c++ redistributables and direct x redistrutables. If I go into the folder where the games are "installed" I can double click to run those installers again and it will tell me newer versions of those are already installed and thus skip installing the older version. However, I think this is what's tripping Steam up. Steam sees that as a failure to install (which it isn't). Recent examples of games giving me this problem include Assassin's Creed 3 (which asks for admin rights twice(!) once for the game and once for uplay) and Mafia 2. Edit: Should add, this is Windows 7 64-bit. Edit 2: Searching around some more, this seems very similar (although I don't play DOTA 2): First Time Setup runs every time I click Play I could try hacking around in the registry, but I have a lot of games which do this and I can't believe there isn't an easier solution somewhere.


title: Why can't my minecraft (1.7.10) generate any world?

text: I'm going to play Minecraft with some forge mods, and it just didn't generate the world. I thought that it was a problem with the mods, so I uninstalled them all and started playing normal Minecraft. The problem is that it still doesn't generate the world. When I create a new world or play in an existing one, I can only see the right hand and the inventory bar. The rest is all black. 1 or 2 seconds later, it stops responding. What is going on and what should I do?


title: How do I tell if I'm (not) gaining skill XP?

text: I want to disprove a claim that Sneak XP can be earned by sneaking around a corpse. However, I may run (or crawl) into complication in measurement. Is the only way to check if I'm gaining (Sneak) skill XP by whether or not it levels up or by visually comparing the Sneak XP bar in the Skills/Stats menu? Update: I completed the video anyway.


title: Does anyone step in to fill the holes in your roster?

text: I deliberately have not named names in the title to avoid spoilers, but in Mass Effect 2 it's possible for > both Garrus and Tali to die in the course of the endgame. Couple this with > the outcome of the Virmire mission in Mass Effect 1, and it's very possible that your playable roster could be rather small. If you're missing these characters, does anybody else step up to fill their holes?


title: Who replaces Tali?

text: > **Possible Duplicates:**   >  Does anyone step in to fill the holes in your roster?   >  I broke my Quarian. Do I get a replacement? In my Mass Effect 2 > Tali is killed So in 3 she is apparently a squad member, but of course I don't have her. Who is suppose to replace her in my squad?


title: How to swap items quickly with stash (6-slotted Tinker)?

text: Late game Tinker has more than 6 items but still needs to keep bottle and soul ring in Stash in order to heal quicker in Fountain. However, to do this I need to swap out my current items with the stashed items quickly. What's the best way to do this? In this Dendi's Tinker, he seems able to do it without having the mouse over the item, so I guess there must be a hotkey somehow.


title: How can I stop leveling up?

text: I've completed True Vault Hunter mode playthrough and I have tons of sidequests left and all the four of the DLCs. Problem is, I keep gaining XP and already a half way to level 51. The game has Ultimate Vault Hunter Pack 1 installed, does this mean that I'll end up in an unbalanced game where I either stomp over enemies who can't really damage my health pool or where I can't damage then because of the level 50 gear?


title: Any way to stop mobs spawning within my walls?

text: I know mobs do not spawn on blocks lit with at least 7 light on it. But are there any mods, preferably already in FTB that makes sure mobs will not spawn in a specific area? I'd like to stay on hard mode while still building all kinda cool but expensive and complicated stuff and i really cant have a creeper sneak up on me when i am busy building within my walls. I do not really care about mobs spawning outside my walls and walking in since my place is pretty huge.


title: How can I get the potion in "Many", level 72 of Spelling Jungle?

text: I'm starting to wonder if these potions are reachable at all, but apart from these 3 I've managed to get every other one in the game so I'm hoping that I'm just missing something. Anyways, this time it's the red "L" potion near the center: ![screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/At8AH.png) I haven't been able to find a way to push the rock to the left site of the dart demon, so I get hit when I try to get the potion. The darts are much faster than your character so you get hit before picking up the potion, thus it's not possible to get it and use it to prevent your imminent death. Does anyone know how to get this?


title: What's the fastest way to farm Black Shards?

text: I only have one Black Shard. I've found a boss in Chaos Shrine who drops them, but the song usually ends before I can beat her, even with my good team. The other shards, I've been able to get two at a time easily and fight multiple bosses in one song. Is there a better way to grind for Black Shards?


title: How can I tell where a title comes from (and progression towards it)?

text: I can see I already have some titles, and I can choose them from the achievements tab in the hero panel. But I am not sure where do they come from. For example, I have the title 'traveler'. I assume I got this because I have some achievements in the explorer category, but I am not sure. Is there any way to tell? or figure progression into a particular title, not just achievements?


title: How can I farm Jimbo Hodunk?

text: Jimbo Hodunk drops a rare SMG I want, the Slagga. I don't recall ever fighting him, and if I did I don't remember where. How do I find Jimbo Hodunk? Does he respawn? Do I have to chose to fight against the Hodunks in that questline to fight him or does it matter?


title: Sigil of Wisdom, and Sigil of Power

text: I just got the Quest to Collect 10 Sigils of Power and 10 Sigils of Wisdom from the Black Prince. Wondering if I can do LFR to get these items or if I need to do normal version of the raids to get them. **UPDATE: 11/5/2012 (Patch 5.0)** I have been doing Mogu'shan Vaults on LFR, and it seems that Mogu'shan Vaults only drops Sigils of Power. My guess is that the other raids will drop drop the Sigils of Wisdom. I will know more on Tuesday when Heart of Fear Part 1 is open for LFR


title: Is there any benefit to sticking with the same color,  Pokémon Black > Black 2 and Pokémon White > White 2?

text: Since this is the first time a Pokémon game has had a direct sequel, is there any advantage to getting the same color sequel instead of the opposite game? Or should this just be treated like any other new Pokémon game, and just pick one?


title: Can creepers destroy spawners

text: I have found two cave spider spawners that I can connect to eachother, but it is quite a complicated setup, so I am spending a lot of time. One big problem I am having that the spawners are in a huge dungeon where I get attacked often. I am wondering if a creeper can destroy my spawner when he gets close somehow.


title: Why does my Dragon King Greataxe do less damage than my Zweihander?

text: I just got enough strength to wield the Dragon King Greataxe in two hands (34) but even though it does 80 more damage than my Zweihander at 380 my Zweihander does more damage when I actually attack with it. Is this because I don't meet the full 50 strength required to use it?

text: My mage has reached the limit of 100/100 in the Destruction tree and I've got all of the destruction perks (apart from two: the one to make enemies flee and _rune master_ ). Should I boost Restoration or Alteration? I've already got 70+ in Illusion which is more than enough to cast _invisibility_. I would tend to boost Alteration and _Mage Armor_ perks, what do you recommend?


title: Can I disable the new PS3 boot warning?

text: I got a system update and now my PS3 helpfully reminds me to consult the manual when it boots. Is there an option somewhere to turn that back off? Edit: In my impatience I had not noticed that the warning goes away automatically even if you don't hit `X` so this warning is not as annoying as I originally thought.


title: What does the peer to peer option do?

text: What does the P2P option in LoL do exactly? Is it only used for patching/updating or is it also used for sharing match bandwidth to take a few bits of load off of Riots servers? Is P2P sharing turned on only while one is at the patching/updating screen or does it also share some of your bandwidth while you are playing regardless of what it is used for?


title: Relative Difficulty of PRNG abuse for shininess

text: I'm going to exclude Gen III here explicitly because (P)RNG abuse there is tied to several factors that make it quite hard from the start. One of the main benefits of (P)RNG abuse, that is, changing the date and time of the DS in order to get previously calculated results due to the predictability of the games' pseudo random number generator, is being able to **encounter shiny Pokemon at will**. This is especially interesting for Legendary Pokemon who you can't simply breed with the Masuda method for a few weeks until you hatch a shiny offspring. So this question is going to focus on abusing the PRNG to **encounter shiny stationary Pokemon** such as Legends, Driftloon in DPPt or Lapras in HGSS (among others). Between Black, Black 2, White and White 2, nearly all Legendary Pokemon exist in Gen V. The same is true for Gen IV thanks to Platinum and Heartgold/Soulsilver. For the few who are only available in one Generation, there is no choice. But for the others, assuming access to any game, I can choose where to RNG my Legendary to get it as a shiny version. Now what I'm wondering is where this process is actually harder. Initially, I thought Gen V RNG is generally easier because everything can be done with Non- C-Gear seeds, which are set based on the second alone, while in Gen IV you have to hit a delay, which limits the error margin to roughly 1/30 of a second. However, in Gen V the portion of the PRNG responsible for generating the PID is apparently subject to an inconsistent offset and hard to check. I've also read somewhere that it's not advised to go for perfect shinies in Gen V unless you also RNG'd your Trainer IDs. Here's the question. **What difficulties do I have to overcome in order to encounter a shiny stationary with random IVs in Generation IV and V respectively?**   If you can answer that as well, I'd also be interested in a comparison of how good I have to be in some area or another for one Generation to be easier than the other ( _e.g. "If you can hit your delay 1 out of 5 times, Gen IV is easier due to the constant starting frame."_ ). * * * Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not interested in subjective answers of the kind _"I think Gen IV is easier because my experience suggests that."_ You're welcome to post that in a comment, but an answer should **list the things that make it hard to pull off in one or the other Generation**. I can decide what this means in the end for myself and anyone who googles this can also make their own decision of which obstacles they'd rather learn to clear.   Also, I can see the topic of cheating come up. **RNG abuse is** widely accepted as a shady/questionable but **not illegal or objectionable** method of tricking the game for the following reasons. Since no external devices are connected and a computer is used for calculations only, the Pokemon received through this method are _legitimately created by the game and could have been encountered randomly_. The method boils down to calculating the point in time where the desired result is generated by the game and playing in the correct way and is thus very similar to looking up information about "secret" in-game events or mechanics in some guide or walkthrough.

title: Getting Vanille AI to cast Death

text: I've recently gotten the spell Death for Vanille in Final Fantasy 13. In general I have the AI control Vanille and it's done quite well in controlling her. However I've noticed ever since getting Death she's failed to cast in once. Even after completely debuffing all enemies she prefers to sit idle and do nothing rather then cast Death. I tried taking control of her to make sure she indeed has it and there wasn't some funky bug but I was able to cast it while I was in control. Is there something I'm missing on why the AI won't cast death?


title: Anyone else experience jerkiness in games when holding shift key down?

text: I was just playing Medal of Honor. Every time I ran the framerate and my movement would become jerky. I use right shift to run (I'm left handed so use the right side of the keyboard for movement). I tried just holding the shift key and not moving - looking at the moving scenery (in this case trees waving in the wind) I could see the jerkiness. I re-assigned the run key to a different key (delete) and this didn't cause jerking, but shift still did. I'd prefer to use shift for running so I need to fix this. Anyone else experienced this?


title: Anywhere to sit inside the Earth Temple?

text: This question is pretty straightforward, is there anywhere to take a seat inside the Earth Temple from Skyward Sword? I'm on hero mode, so benches/stools are my only method of health recovery that doesn't cost rupees and a trip to Skyloft. There's a bench right outside the entrance, but exiting to sit down resets all the enemies, and I've found the strategically placed lizalfos to be particularly challenging.


title: Is there a difference between IAS from armor and weapon IAS?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Why do some items that increase attack speed work, and others don't? In Diablo 2, there was a difference between _Increase Attack Speed_ (IAS) on weapons and IAS from other sources (such as Armor/Jewelry). I started to wonder about the same in Diablo 3, when I looked at weapons that have an IAS property, such as this axe: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/artisan/blacksmith/recipe/the-wedge As you can see, the item-information states: `1.46-1.47 Attacks per Second`, which is more than an axe has without the IAS (`1.3` in that case). Equipping such a weapon while having other items with +IAS, won't change that number. This leads me to the conclusion that there might be two separate IAS calculations going on. The IAS on the weapon changes the **base weapon speed** , while all other IAS is multiplied with that base-speed. Which in turn would make IAS on the weapon itself more valuable. Does anybody know how the formula for attack-speed works? Are all sources of IAS being treated equally, or is there indeed a difference between weapon-IAS and armor-IAS?

title: Minecraft Automatic Cactus Farming

text: I'm trying to build an automatic cactus farm and I need some help. I know cacti must be placed on sand, and water/light are not required. The thing I don't know/understand is how to place a roof on top that will break the cactus when it grows. I tried placing a dirt block two blocks above the first cactus, but rather than the cactus growing up to the dirt and breaking off, it just stops growing once it reaches the dirt. What am I doing wrong here?


title: My Staff of Magnus is Missing

text: I am playing Skyrim, and one of my Hearthfire houses, Lakeview, has dealt me a small issue. For some time, my Enchanter's Tower was the home of my Staff of Magnus, hanging in the center slot of the upstairs weapon rack. Then, a few days ago, it disappeared. If I went back a few saves, it looked like it was partway into the wall. Did the game eat my staff? I know that Hearthfire makes some items magically acquire the Stolen tag; did my Steward see me putting it up on the wall, after trying to duplicate it (failed), and confiscate it? I checked the inventory of the Seward, the Housecarl, and my followers for the four days prior. I don't know where it went, or if it will ever magically reappear, laying on the floor (not under anything right now, that I can tell. Wonder what happened to it... Thanks anyone who has some ideas they share, and have a good one. Sadly, I am playing on the PS3, so I can't use some of the console fixes, or what have you. I suspect that the bug, as it were, has claimed my staff. Also checked Morokei, just to see if it respawned on him, but nope, nor was it on the floor in the room I tried to drop it in, reclaim, and have duplicate; that works with many things. Fortunately, the Staff of Magnus isn't so important, so I guess I CAN tolerate its loss; it's just annoying that the other staff, and the Mace of Molag Bal, both stayed there fine, and the Staff of Magnus went "POOF!!!"

My question is on the bowser spaces from many of the games. If you have noticed when you spin the wheel there is a space to collect 10,000 Mini Stars/Stars (Depending on which Mario Party you are playing) but I have never once been able to land on it.

title: Which encrypted data can reward which level of mark of mods?

text: I haven't played competitive multiplayer, so I wouldn't know about that, but co-operative multiplayer awards encrypted data upon completion of any campaign. Encrypted data can be decoded to win XP or weapon mods. Weapon mods have five marks (i.e., levels of quality). From personal experience, I know that smaller encrypted data (such as CDs and Flash Drives) cannot or practically never reward weapon mods at mark four or five. I have decoded a lot, so I have many weapon mods, but not all of them are at the highest mark. I'd rather not bother gambling by decoding if the type of encrypted data cannot reward mark five weapon mods. So, specifically, which mods can reward mark five weapon mods?

title: How bad is AMX 13 F3 AM with weaker radio?

text: I'm an artillery guy at heart, quite far with German arty (near to getting _G.W.Tiger_ ), had a taste of Russian (up to _SU-8_ ), but I decided to have a taste of French, skipping the lower tiers and simultaneously to taste the life of a fast, stealthy scout ( _ELC AMX_ ), so I'm aiming to get _AMX 13 F3 AM_ through the light tank route. I'm currently on _AMX 12 t_ and it's advancing _slowly_. I really don't like this tank. Big, poor armor, terrible angles, poor acceleration, poor aim, six weak rounds in autoloader a significant step back from the slow but mighty ELC gun, and matchmaking throwing me against Tier X opponents which can bounce my direct hit down the driver's viewport or one-shot me with splash damage. I got it fully upgraded, except for the radio. I'm doing some 5k XP a day, and I'm quite a bit away from the needed 64,000XP needed for the AMX 13 F3 AM. The 9000XP required for the best radio would make a significant dent in my budget, and I'm really not finding it essential (the tank not being lean enough to sneak _deep_ behind enemy lines; current radio is perfectly sufficient for flanking, stealth-scouting at extended foreposts or leading support fire from second line (while looking for openings for flanking). Thing is, that radio is the only thing inherited by _AMX 13 F3 AM_ from _AMX 12 t_. I know the radio is the holy spirit of the artillery. Normally, _13 F3_ would have inherited it from its artillery predecessors. That way it won't - unless I spend another 2 days on the light tank grinding for it. My plan is to get to the arty ASAP, and earn my better radio there. 9k XP in a tier VI artillery is normally a breeze for me. Except I never played a higher tier arty with poor radio. I know it will perform poorly - the question is, how poorly? If it's more than 3 days of grinding, I'm better off spending the time in _AMX 12 t_. Any experiences? Insights? Ideas?

title: Which rendering options in Heroes of Newerth are heavy on the CPU?

text: My PC has an awesome GPU (GTX580) but an ageing Core2 quad-core CPU. The game flows smoothly with all graphics options maxed **until** there is a team fight where up to 10 heroes, and perhaps even with couple of waves of lane creeps, start spamming abilities around. The FPS at times drops as low as <10 which drastically affects my performance. So I was wondering if there are any rendering options in Heroes of Newerth I can disable to minimize the CPU requirement of the game. Any other tricks to make the game run smoother with a bad CPU would also be appreciated.

text: Among some notes on a pin board is one that says > Pssst...   >  if you hold action long enough a "BFG" will spawn here ;) It's probably a joke, considering that there are notes beside it like > If your [sic] reading this your score is probably very crap :p and >   * Look up "oppai" >   * Masturbate >   * Play DNR > and some sort of formula about teabagging. It'd be funnier if it actually did spawn a BFG if you held down action for an unreasonable amount of time though. So does it?


title: Does damage from wall traps such as the Acid Sprayer stack?

text: In many areas you can place two wall traps that will both be in range of each other. If I do this with identical traps, is the damage doubled or would it be better to mix trap types?


How do I downgrade Minecraft to play on a server running an older version?


title: Minecraft older version?

text: Where can I find an older version of Minecraft, with the bin folder still intact? I really just want to add SEUS SHADERS and a minimap and optifine, because I don't like the 1.7.2 mcpatcher.


title: Is there a way to not ignore the Brotherhood of Steel

text: When dealing with the tribes, in the quest The House Always Wins V, Mr House will always refuse to negotiate, and want you to destroy the Brotherhood of Steel. The corresponding quest from Yes Man, however, Wild Card: Side Bets, gives you an option to ignore the Brotherhood. Like the same option with the other factions, this means giving up on getting their support for your plans. I am wondering if there's a way to get the Brotherhood to support you, similar to the Boomers and the Khans, when following Yes Man or Mr House.


title: Will Maxpayne 3 levels all be the same?

title: I lost my Space Core, how do I get it back?

text: Inside a cave, I used Infernal Blast (from the Midas Magic mod) and he just disappeared. I used the `tcl` (or noclip) command to fly around looking for it, but no luck. I tried to look up the ID for the Space Core to spawn a new one, but none I've found so far have worked. What should I do? Does it respawn at the same location?


title: How to update out-of-date TF2 Server in Linux

text: I have a TF2 server which was working, up until recently. When I try to connect, it always says this: > The server you are trying to connect to is running an older version of the > game. I have tried...   * Turning on the `-autoupdate` flag: Did not work   * Manually running the update via `./steam -command update -game tf -dir ./tf -verify_all -retry`: Did not work   * sudo'ing the previous command   * Deleting `ClientRegistry.blob` in the `steam` folder and trying the above. None of the above have worked. How can I get my TF2 server up to date?


title: Do companions benefit from wearing +Presence gear?

text: So, **Presence** as a stat, is defined as raising your companions health and damage/healing output. Awesome! A stat just for soloing, that's pretty handy. And, using a +Presence stim, I see that, yes, my companion has just gained a bunch of health. Nifty. But +Presence can also be found on/added to gear with augments. And what I'm curious about is if companions will derive the same benefit if _the companion is wearing_ gear with +Presence. And if so, does it do so by an amount greater than, or less than equipping them with a comparable amount of their preferred stats.


title: How do I get my DualShock 2 controller to work as an XBOX 360 controller for Skyrim?

text: Recently I bought a PS2 to PC adapter (the blue one that allows two controllers to be plugged into) and it works fine. I tried a program called xPadder and it works, but it doesn't have an XBOX 360 emulator. So I tried another problem called MotionInJoy, the problem with this program is that it does not recognize my controller.. I'm hoping I don't have to purchase another adapter, everyone's saying you need a bluetooth adapter. Is there another program I can use to emulate an XBOX 360 controller?


title: What is the exact effect that affection has on companions?

text: I know that in general, a higher affection score raises the chance for a successful crew skill check and reduces the time to completion, but what I'm looking for here is hard numbers so I can decide whether or not buying a bunch of gifts to raise my companion's affection is worth it to me? What I'm particularly interested in is the following at each affection level (0, 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, and 10000):   * % reductions in skill time   * Bonus to skill crit rate If there are any effects other than that, I'd love to hear about those too! This obviously can be difficult, particularly calculating the crit rate, since it would require a lot of data points. But if you can find external research on it or can convince your guild to help you out with data points (much like some seemed to do with calculating average values for various crew skill missions), that'd be awesome!


title: How can I earn lots of credits?

text: On reaching level 20, I was advised to 'start saving up' for Speeder training by a tutorial popup. And looking at my class skill trainer, high level abilities cost... well, they cost what seems to be an astounding amount of money to my low level self. What's the most efficient way to earn lots of credits in The Old Republic?

text: So I've been playing on a couple 24/7 Mann Manor servers ( _I know!_ ) to get some of the ghostchievements and scarechievements I missed from previous years. I got the pumpkin hat, the paper mask, the haunted scrap and one of the nine class paper hats (the Heavy one). I found the relevant gift in the shack opposite the first point. What are the other possible gift spawning locations?

text: Since Minecraft Beta 1.8 there has been a hunger meter that decreases over time. ![Hunger](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NRTZX.jpg) Does this meter decrease at a fixed rate, or do certain activities like mining or sprinting cause it to decrease faster?


title: Is there a world generator that can create a Minecraft world that is solid rock?

text: **Is there a world generator that can create a Minecraft world that's solid rock?** Literally, with one layer of bedrock at the bottom and the other 127 layers stone? I don't care if it generates ores or not since it will be hosted on my server with other normal worlds connecting to it, but it would be a HUGE pain to make a world like that with mcedit or other programs manually. It would be a huge plus if there's a bukkit plugin that can do that too. =)


title: What happens if you cast Shadowform the third time?

text: The Priest's _Shadowform_ states that your Hero Spell does damage instead of healing. If you're already in Shadowform, it deals 3 damage instead of 2. But what happens if you cast _Shadowform_ again after this? Will your damage keep increasing by one or does it cap at 3 and any additional _Shadowform_ casts are useless?


title: How can I get to the coffin inside the giant pumpkin?

text: I've recently gotten past the first section of the Autumn Haven Mall, reaching the area which contains shops that you can trick-or-treat (as opposed to the initial "under construction" section). In that very area, the one containing the bobbing for apples mini-game and the costume contest, there is a giant pumpkin with a coffin in its mouth located at the lower left corner (I'd take a screenshot if I could). How am I supposed to reach that coffin? Do I need to make use of a costume I still do not have access to?


title: How to obtain the Relic of Xuen

title: Does a Ghost EMP work on Command Centers and other buildings?

text: If so we could block the MULEs and scans, etc. What about other buildings? I'm assuming it will wipe Protoss shields. That means if you have a double ghost you could throw down a nuke with one and EMP with the other right before the nuke hits.

title: Why does my Plague of Toads make me croak?

text: When my Witch Doctor hit level 11, I decided to take my Plague of Toads for a spin. However, a typical encounter for me with Plague of Toads goes something like:   * I see a mob of enemies    * I summon several waves of toads   * The toads meander outward in a rough 45 degree arc   * The enemies walk right through my toads   * I am repeatedly pummeled by said enemies :(   * I switch to some other skill and mutter "stupid *&@#! frogs" or somesuch under my breath The other primary skills for my Witch Doctor thus far have been far more effective at dealing damage, both up close and at range. I keep thinking that perhaps it's a situational attack, but my other primary skills have been pretty generally useful. What am I doing wrong with Plague of Toads?


title: How to set the loadout's default weapon to dual wield?

text: In my custom loadout I have two single handed weapons (pistol and an uzi). Every time I spawn I need to manually change to dual wielding, something that is quite cumbersome to do on the console. How can I set it so it defaults to dual wield on spawn? I am playing on Xbox 360, so please indicate if you can only do it on PC.


title: Can you transfer Batman Arkham City saves from PS3 to Steam?

text: When Batman Arkham City first came out, I bought it for PS3 and beat the game while finishing a few extra side missions. Since then, I've gotten rid of my PS3 copy and got a steam version. I still have the saved file on my PS3. I wanted to know if I could somehow transfer my game saves from my PS3 to my steam account?


title: Can't get to airship in Final Fantasy I

text: I'm playing the Windows Phone version of FFI. I was trying to do the optional dungeon Hellfire Chasm. I actually managed to clear it by reaching Hellfire Chasm B10 and killing the boss. The teleporter took me to the entrance of the dungeon, but now my airship isn't there. It is in the island to the north. In this Island there are just two caves, Dragon Caves B1 and Hellfire Chasm. Is there a way to teleport to a town or to reach my airship? I've tried:   * Entering the dungeon and using emergency exists   * Let monsters kill my party But I m still reappearing at the wrong side. I'm fearing that I have to restart the game.


title: Does it matter what teams I pick on the final mission?

text: Needless to say, **spoilers**. On the final mission, your crew breaks up into teams of 2. The teams are: > Matt and Asha   >  Pierce and Shaundi   >  Ben King and Johnny Gat They are picked for 3 different tasks. Does it matter which team does which task? Can I pick 1 team for multiple tasks?

title: Is there supposed to be no (non mission) boats in Watch Dogs?

text: I've been playing Watch Dogs for a couple weeks now and I'm really frustrated by this apparent bug in the game. Unless its during a mission, there are no boats in the game. This makes it impossible for me to do things like the missing persons, because one of the spots is on the lighthouse far away form the mainland. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix for it?

title: How to get multiple enemies to cede provinces?

text: I'm playing as Ottomans. I'm not in any coalition or alliances, but I have vassals. I'm the target of a coalition of Venice, Poland, Bosnia, Persia, Ethiopia, Oman. I have fabricated at least 1 claim per each of those counties. I declare war with conquest war goal. Even if I occupy every enemy province I have claims on, in the peace treaty I can only demand provinces from the one country I declared war on. They entered the coalition at different times so the truce prevents them from fighting me all at once. If I declared war on Oman, then Persia and Venice would come to Oman's aid, but Poland, Bosnia, and Ethiopia cannot help Oman because of their truce with me. I thought I would demand few provinces from Oman, few from Persia, one from Venice, all occupied by me, but in the treaty screen I can only demand from Oman. and this is odd, because few decades ago, when the coalition members were Mamelukes, Oman, Qara, Georgia, and I had no vassals but I had allies in Tripoli, I could demand provinces from numerous enemies at once. Didn't matter who I declared war on.


title: What is affecting my character in sunlight?

text: I'm playing Skyrim PS3. I have skipped around on quests. I just finished the Dawnguard questline, and defeated Seranas Father. I chose to do another side mission and completed it. I then decided to start a side quest that I received before I installed Dawnguard. When I came out of the cave into the sunlight the screen blurred and tuned red. Because of my sucky TV I am unable to read the top left of the screen where it tells me what is wrong. My stats have dropped and active affects gives me two things related to vampirism. I am a werewolf and have changed to beast form, drank cure disease potions and visited shrines. I even tried talking to innkeepers to get the quest to be cured...nothing is working. It's been longer than the three days but I'm not being attacked nor has my appearance changed. Is this a glitch from doing a quest I received before installing Dawnguard?

title: Does Wipeout HD Fury (disc) support 3D?

text: I am one of those guys that prefer buying games on discs instead of getting them "virtually" from online stores. Thus I wanted to buy Wipeout HD Fury on disc, but found some forums that complained about the disc version not supporting 3D. Apparently 3D only would work with the downloaded version. My TV and PS3 are 3D-capable, and the Wipeout HD Demo also works in 3D already. But what about the disc version? Has anyone tried this?


title: What is the most powerful beam spell combo?

text: Was wondering what the most powerful beam spell combo is in Magicka. I know of a few strong beam combos, but it's hard to tell which is the most powerful in terms of raw damage. My personal favourite is Arcane+Steam+Steam+Lightning+Lightning. It seems to be pretty effective. Has anyone done some experimenting or some damage calculations? It would be cool to know which is the most powerful.


title: How to get a decent score with steam in Railworks 2 career mode?

text: I've been working my way through the Railworks 2 career scenarios, but the steam ones are proving near impossible (specifically, the Bath and Templecombe route). The train can only manage about 15 mph because of steep inclines, and I end up at least 10 minutes late (or worse) giving a huge negative score. I've seen other scores posted that are about +2,000 where the best I can managed is -17,000. I don't have the same problems with the diesel/electric trains, so I think I'm missing some vital piece of knowledge about running the steam engine and improving its performance.

title: What's the best way to gear up for heroics in Mists of Pandaria?

text: I have just reached 90 and my gearscore is way short of the one required for heroics. I am just wondering whether there is another way to improve my gearscore without having to grind reputation points with the various MoP factions? Even if I eventually manage to get the reputation required to buy JP gear, then how do I go about earning JP? I can no longer randomly queue normal dungeons at 90 (I can manually select them, but that doesn't give me the seven times per week JP bonus). Essentially I am in a bit of limbo. According to this unhelpful comment by Manbullpig, apparently it only takes 15 minutes to gear up for heroics at 90. I am not quite sure whether he was exaggerating or if it's true.


title: How do I stop smelling like a wet dog?

text: Whenever I meet a guard, they nonchalantly tell me I smell of wet dog. That was par for the course when I was a lycanthrope, but I got better.

title: Do lower-difficulty Lockpicking perks have any effect on higher-difficulty locks?

text: Do the Novice Locks/Apprentice Locks perks have any impact on higher locks? I'm wondering if I should put any perks into Lockpicking at all, as Quick Hands is the only iteresting one of all. But seeing how Novice locks are trivially easy to pick and Apprentice locks are easy enough, perking those seems pointless. Only Master locks are a challenge, so if perking low-lvl locks does have an impact on them, it certiantly would be worth it. The only question: Does it?


title: Why does my wii not read disc any more?

And when I approached the first portal nothing happens: I can see the portal that I unlocked but if I try to press A (I am playing it on a PC) nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?


title: What is there to do after beating Inferno mode?

text: I beat Inferno mode on Diablo 3 so I'm trying to figure out what to do next. There are a couple things I know about, like grinding up your paragon level, but that doesn't really appeal to me. I'm hoping someone can list the activities you can do after Inferno mode so I can decide whether to keep playing or move onto something else. What is there to do besides beating Inferno mode?

title: In the map named "The Puzzling," what is the solution to the room with two blocks containing 9 grass and water square combinations?

text: This map is for Starcraft and it's expansion Brood War. There used to be a ton of walk-throughs for this map, The Puzzling, and it's sequel, The Puzzling 2. The idea is a team of 3 must solve each puzzle in order to reach the end. "Everything has a purpose" is the maps motto, as every peculiar design in the map is meant as a hint to solve some part of some puzzle. This particular room (picture taken from team liquid's website) has stumped me. However I cannot find a single walk-through any more using google. About 7 years ago, there were a good number of them. However, they have all seemed to have disappeared. What is the solution to this room? I assume that the 3 discolored squares towards the top of the room are for the three players to interact with while the two 3 by 3 squares provide a hint as to what to do next. ![God forsaken puzzle](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KI1Lj.jpg) There is a hint given on the teamliquid forums that may seem to indicate a solution, however, as I commented, that isn't a solution. If you look at the minimap, the first room is the top left corner room. The 2nd room is the one beneath that. There is a hidden door that's not readily visible to people not actively looking for it. That door leads to the part of a room where one of the three gems you have to retrieve is located. Solving the puzzle in that part makes it so that you can retrieve the gem later. That's what that hint means. Next, it's difficult to get a team of 3 players to do these puzzles correctly without "rage quitting." As soon as one person quits the game is over, so I will not be able to guess and check suggestions on this map, as it even takes some time to get to the location in question (starting from scratch each time). * * * **Edit** I found here that there is a way to glitch the map so that one of the triggers wont work. However, I am unsure as to whether that refers to this room or not. This description of the glitch doesn't seem to correspond to this room. I am also working on a theory that the grass spots in each of the squares corresponds to a room on the mini-map, and in those room there is an addition hint. But I can't verify that without playing the map which is quite difficult. It would explain the hint referring to the secret door, as those rooms are necessary given my theory.


title: Is there a visible difference between 60 FPS vs 120 FPS in gaming?

text: Is there a visible difference between 60 FPS vs 120 FPS? I am going under the assumption that the monitor is your standard 60 Hz monitor. I've heard arguments that you would want a higher FPS for first-person shooter games then 60 FPS. I am looking for a good answer that actually has some technical merit behind if possible.

title: If I quit during a mission, will I resume at the last checkpoint or before I started?

text: At the end of my gaming session last night, I went to try and save and realized that there didn't appear to be an option. I'm assuming the game's autosave is all I get, like it or not. If I quit the game during a mission, will I start back up at the last checkpoint I passed, or do I have to start the mission over from the beginning? Sometimes the missions chain into each other (or I don't realize I've started a new one) so I frequently don't have time to finish what I started.

title: Loading NES Metroid with full energy tanks

text: I'm playing the original Metroid on an emulator. I don't want to have any advantages that I wouldn't have on a real NES, so I don't want to use savestates. I have two energy tanks. After dying, I get my password, and inputting this returns me to the nearest elevator with all my items, including the E tanks... but they're empty. Since I'm about to go fight Kraid, cue fifteen minutes of farming enemies for HP. This promises to be super fun as I accumulate tanks. Is there a legit way to load my game with my energy tanks full? Or are you actually intended to have to farm for health every time you load the game?

title: I have the Pope and the Curia in my pocket, but they wouldn't excommunicate anybody! Why?

However, I couldn't find a single nation that I could excommunicate, apparently they all have "good relations with the Pope". How does one have bad relations with the Pope? Does it have something to do with the Papal State? Or the prestige of the target nation? Or am I missing something else here? What are the conditions that allow excommunication?

The woman in the BowWow house (Madam MeowMeow) is super distraught over her missing dog, and I would really like to help her (as I assume this is the next thing I have to do to advance the story). Where did they take her dog?


title: I've finished Seiklus, but I'm still a little confused. Does the ending mean anything?

text: **Warning: Spoilers ahead!** Don't read if you don't want the (kind of confusing) ending ruined! > Okay, so I've finished Seiklus. I reached 100% completion, retrieved all the > "cheese wedges of power", and assembled them in the "moon temple". Annnnd, > the credits roll. I guess I won, but I was kind of expecting more. Am I a clod missing some obvious hidden symbolism, or is the ending supposed to be vague and open-ended?


title: Will games from the UK work on consoles from Portugal?

text: I am planning on going out to Portugal soon and I am wondering if I should bring out some Xbox 360 games for a friend that stays there, as the games cost a lot more there than they do here. So,   1. Would the games work on his Portuguese Xbox 360?    2. What happens with the DLC and online pass situation?   3. Any tips or anything I need to know if I do this? Thank you.


title: Where are my Frozen Synapse save files stored?

text: In lieu of proper Steam Cloud support, I'm trying to set up Frozen Synapse to store its save files in Dropbox. What files or folders do I need to sync between my two (Mac) computers to achieve this? (For bonus points: What about on Windows? Are the save files compatible between platforms?)


title: Do All The Daedric Artifacts have to be collected with the same character?

text: I have been completing the Oblivion Walker trophy/achievement but in order to get one of the Daedric artifacts you must talk to Silus Vesuius. Unfortunately, I killed him a while back and I have no save near then. On another one of my characters I'm around that level where I can complete the quest. If I get the artifact with that character (where I'd only have that 1) would it count towards the trophy with the other artifacts I have on my main character where Silus Vesuius is dead?


title: Does anyone have a strategy for Call of Duty Black Ops Zombie mode?

text: I realize there is no point to the zombie mode except to see how long you can last; but we play this game like crazy. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to last longer. We consistently last to round 10. once we get the power on we don't really know what to do from there. we run around and turn on traps but it doesn't seem like there's really anything else to do. what is the point of the transporter? and when you look at the map on the wall and the green light appears, what does that mean?


title: How do multiple combo fields interact with finishers?

text: If i have multiple combo fields below me and then do a whirl attack, which combo field effect get triggered? In one of the boss battles i had a fire, poison and light combo field below me but it looked like only the light got triggered, did i just miss the notification or is it limited to "one finisher, one field"? If so, which field gets triggered first?


title: Will followers recharge their own weapons?

text: Related: Does my follower's enchanted weapon need to be refilled? If a follower is given some charged Soul Gems, and an enchanted weapon, will they use the Soul Gems to re-charge the weapon when it is depleted?


title: Is there a penalty for switching gear mid-combat?

text: If I swap gear mid-combat (perhaps with a hot-key) to switch from heavy DPS to increase % chance of obtaining a blue item, is there any penalty for doing this? Will I receive a less a % chance if I switch mid-combat than I would if I switch prior to engaging in combat? (Such as: Is there a small cool-down prior to actually obtaining that item's bonus?)
