title: How can I maximize XP gain in Spice Bandits?

text: I am level 58 right now, and I'm trying to collect stars in all of the chapters. But the sudden death is very hard and I only get low XP. For example, for the chapter Desert Freighter, the most I've ever gotten is 34 XP. No matter the strategy I use, I only get 31-34 XP. But I never get a star, even at 34 XP. What is the best way to gain XP? Should I avoid upgrading my towers, use only one tower or create a tower near my base?


title: How do I skip tutorials?

text: In GTA San Andreas for iOS, you can skip some cutscenes by pressing the arrow at the top right of the screen. But when the game is explaining something to you, it takes a long time to move on. Is there any way to skip these, because there isn't a arrow on the top right to help me.

title: In a ZvZ match, how do I deal with early mass zerglings?

text: Just as it says on the can. **How do I defend early mass zerglings in ZvZ?** Early being around the time my natural is finished to the time it's about half-saturated. I'm getting a baneling nest as soon as I can afford it, and make zerglings as soon as I see them coming. I block the ramp with queens, but I still can't ever hold it. **Here's a replay where a bunch of zerglings stream into my base at the 5:40 mark.** My overlord sees this coming, so I try to squeeze out a spine, block my ramp with my queen, and take an extra gas so I can support more banelings. I start morphing some banelings as soon as my baneling nest is done, but there are just so many zerglings that I can't hold off his reinforcements. **In this game I attempt to go spire.** This game, I made as many preemptive banelings as I could afford. I figured he would be low on the tech tree, so mutalisks would be able to deal with his tier one aggression. But he was droning behind it, and eventually overran me with ling/bane. **Here's a replay where I make it to lair.** He floods my natural with lings at 8:00 but I manage to hold onto my main. However, he was droning behind it, with roaches on the way. His two bases vs my one base was a situation I couldn't recover from. I was floating a lot of minerals and idle larvae in this game though. Maybe that was my downfall? **I also have a fourth one.** Same deal. He floods my base with lings, I lose. I saw he had no expansion by the time I had mine up, so I prepared some defensive lings. However, when I saw him expand later, and my overlords saw nothing suspicious, I thought he had made a hidden expansion somewhere on the map. I still made as many banelings as I could afford right when my baneling nest completed, but his stream of units still destroyed me. I'm in gold league, by the way. Thanks for your replies! (For future readers: this was in patch 2.0.5 in Wings of Liberty)

I bought Costume Quest yesterday for PC from Steam, and wanted to run it in windowed mode, however, unlike other games I play, I cannot find a way to tell the game to run in windowed mode. Is there just a setting I am missing? Or is it something Steam doesn't allow?

Is there any way to reset their (Squad) points?


Like many RPGs, Fallout: New Vegas has day/night cycles.

title: How do I customize runes per champ or for general purpose?

text: There has been something that has bothered me since i learned about runes. Let's say I buy runes that were recommended in a guide for Annie or Ahri. What if I choose to play say Teemo or another champion? I mean I'd be using runes intended for a mage, but I'd be playing a non-mage. **So how do I customize runes per champ or for general purpose?** Also, I'm aware of this question, but I don't think it answers my question completely.


title: How do I return to my current dungeon level after activating a second town portal?

text: I had reached a dungeon level around 10-15 floors down, when I returned to Torchlight (the town) via a Town Portal scroll and got a quest from the Trill- bot to kill a monster on level 3. Easy! I ran down to level 3, one-shotted the baddie and instead of clicking an Identify scroll I clicked a Town Portal scroll. I was hoping it wouldn't overwrite my previous portal if I didn't use it, so I ran back to my original portal but it brought me back to level 3! So have I really lost all my progress? Can I not easily return to the farthest level I've reached?

title: How does armor work in Shogun 2: Total War?

text: I've played Shogun 2 for a while now, and something I still don't understand is armor. The unit with the most notable armor is the Naginata Samurai with 9. Compare that to a Yari Ashigaru that has 2 armor, and it seems like there's a huge difference. I can see the number value of unit armor, but I don't understand is how that factors into combat. Does armor reduce the damage done by arrows? Does armor just give an increased dodge chance? I think these might be questions of how combat is calculated by the game engine and not just of armor, but armor is my real concern. I can immediately see the effects of increased attack or morale, but not as much by increased armor. **How does armor affect the survivability of a unit?**

title: What am I doing wrong while battling a Sith NPC as a Trooper Vanguard?

text: Whenever I have to fight a Sith (Elites) even 2 levels lower than me (at 4 level lower, I can defeat them with few HP to spare), I tend to die. I play a 32 Trooper Vanguard and have level appropriate armor, weaponry (minus a couple of mods/enhancements that I need to level) and all class/vanguard abilities trained. I have Elara as my companion set to her aggressive healing setting. _Very occasionally, I'll have problems with elites having large damage rapid fire weapons, but slightly different tactics usually leads to my success. This does not happen with attacking Sith Elites_ **EDIT** The one I was specifically referring to this time is the Sith Apprentices (Level 28) on Alderaan. These are one at a time. ## My stats ![Dexa Stats](http://i.stack.imgur.com/h2NjR.png) ## Skill tree ![Dexa Skills](http://i.stack.imgur.com/aW97L.png) Is this a simple need for better armor/shield/enhancements with more Damage Reduction, Defense Chance, Shield Chance and Shield Absorption? I've been concentrating on Aim, but perhaps I should adjust my priorities.

title: Finding the current installation of minecraft

text: Am trying to figure out where to look for finding out the current version of minecraft installed my pc. I can see the current version, if I open up the Minecraft.exe launcher. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xVtxK.png) I tried to search in Windows Registry to see if there is any entry regarding the current version. But didn't found any when I searched for the term `minecraft`. And I can see that, this folder `C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\\.minecraft\versions` contains the sub- folder `1.7.4` which is the current version! So, is that the only place we can check to find out the current version? I am trying to fetch the version via code (creating VB.Net app). I can do a scan for the sub-folders in the `..\\.minecraft\versions` folder and could find out the version number. But what if that `versions` folder contains another folder say `1.8.2` with a JAR and JSON file? My idea of fetching the current version would fail then! Because the `versions` folder contains two folders `1.7.4` (which is the current version) and the `1.8.2` (which is a duplicate of the contents of the folder 1.7.4, I created for testing). In my code, it would find out the current version as `1.8.2`, which would be wrong! Because when the MC launcher is opened, it still shows the `1.7.4` as the current version! So, what would be the effective way/place to look for finding the currently installed version? Any hints would be highly appreciated. Thank you

title: Why doesn't Vlad's Tides of Blood proc spell vamp?

text: While playing Vlad today, I noticed "Tides of Blood" doesn't proc spell vamp. The ability does magic damage; why doesn't it absorb health? Edit: I was playing a bot game with around 600 AP, a Spirit Visage, and a Will of the Ancients. I used Tides of Blood while surrounded by 10+ minions and noticed no spell vamp. Magic dmg should have been ~450 to each minion, so 450 * (.25*.33) = ~37, not counting spirit visage. It's possible I just didn't do enough damage to trigger the floating text, but I started watching my health bar to see. It's difficult to tell since Tides of Blood damages Vlad when cast, but I still should have been gaining 300+ health. **UPDATE**   It was late when I posted this, and I must have made a mistake. I was able to confirm last night that Tides of Blood does proc spell vamp. Side note, I often noticed only 1 green number pop when I got high enough. It seems they've combined the floating text into one number, making it easier to see how much health he gets back!

title: Is Cie'th Stone Mission 1 the first thing you're supposed to do on Gran Pulse?

text: I just got to Pulse, only to find myself very much outclassed by all the enemies around. This excellent question has assuaged most of my fears of having missed something important. I accepted the first Cie'th Stone mission, thinking that that was the only thing for me to do. I've made it to the cave, and gotten to the first save point. But before the save point, there was an alternate route that led to a boss called Juggernaut. Unlike the rest of the enemies in the cave, I had absolutely no hope of defeating it. It has over a million HP and I can hardly get an attack in without being annihilated. Am I expected to be able to beat this thing at this point in my playthrough? I'm trying not to look at walkthroughs, but I peeked at one and it did not even mention the difficulty of this battle at this point in the game. Is this an optional megaboss? I'm not sure whether I can take these missions again after I clear them once; can I come back for it and the Treasure Sphere later? Or was there something for me to do by following the arrow before I accepted that mission? Should I go back and try to forfeit the mission for now?

title: How does Close Enough interact with explosive weapons?

text: I know that Gaige can effectively use elemental weapons with Close Enough - the skill that causes up to 50% of your missed shots to ricochet towards the target for reduced damage. However, I do not know what to think of rounds that explode on impact. I noticed that generally elemental weapons leave a small elemental mark on the point of impact and then deal elemental damage normally. What about rockets from RPGs and Torgue weapons? Their projectiles explode on impact and it's really hard to tell (with my limited playtime) if Close Enough has any influence on them. Would a Torgue projectile explode on impact and then fly towards the enemy to do regular damage? Or would it explode twice? Or maybe explosions prevents ricocheting?


title: Are there any early Demon Hunter builds that are particularly poor for getting started?

text: In Diablo 2 there were a number of ways to make life much more difficult on yourself if you made the wrong choices on the skill tree. The skill tree is gone and it seems that changing between "builds" will be very easy to accomplish. Are there any choices that can be made early on that will make the game particularly difficult? Conversely are there any builds that seem to be particularly strong for getting up to the Skeleton King? For example if using a ranged demon hunter does the lack of a shield strongly handicap you? Are there creatures that could close too quickly to avoid taking a lot of damage? If playing a melee demon hunter, does the available skill options work against you even though you have higher defence?


title: Game crashes when opening crates

text: Sometimes, when I open my crates, my game crashes. I've read, that the reason for that is that there is a level/character in it, and my game doesn't have enough active memory to open it.

My first rare cargo was Wookie arms, a level. I got it while already experiencing the problem. So I'd have said that the game crashes randomly, if I didn't spend a day farming Kashyyyk, getting all the chars, never finding the Shack and only crashing all the time. Help?

title: Vehicle picture blocked buying online

text: If you go to each of the websites for buying vehicles, (Warstock, Elitas, Legendary, etc.) Some of the vehicles on each site have a symbol instead of a picture of the vehicle. For the cars from Los Santos Autos, it was believed that you had to steal them for Simeon first. However, there are two facts that contradict this:   1. Vehicles blocked with a symbol include vehicles from other sites, vehicles that Simeon doesn't want and you can't bring to him or steal and sell.   2. The Dinka Double T is one of the cars blocked by a symbol. I have not brought a Double T to Simeon but I was able to buy one from the website and have it delivered.  Does anyone know why certain vehicles have symbols over them?

title: Does an obsidian block affect sound transmission?

text: So I was slime-hunting because I heard the sound of a slime through the wall. I kept digging, following the sound of the slime, until I dug down to a lava pit, surrounded by some stone. I safely went down to the area, and the slime sound was getting louder and louder. The area was pretty small, and I did not want to fall into the lava. I had a water bucket with me, so I poured it on the lava and it turned to obsidian. Then the slime sound stopped. No more. Nada. I turned around and went back home, quite sad. Later, I thought:   * Could the obsidian mute the sound of the slime?   * Maybe if I dig through the obsidian, I will be able to find the slime?

title: Overcoming a ceiling in skill level

text: I've logged a little bit over 700 hours in Dota 2. Mostly playing with friends. I started out with watching videos from Purge and other and this really helped me improve. I also follow the streams from a few competitions, most notably the international right now. Though I have the feeling I learn less from that (probably because the live-commentators do not always have time explain the reasons behind choices pro players make, and because pro games techniques are not really applicable to normal games) Though I really enjoy the game I have the feeling that for the last six months I am no longer improving. While I have no intentions of becoming a competitive player and I do not care about my exact MMR I do wish to be able to keep up with my friends who continue to improve. I have the feeling that I've really hit a ceiling and I do not know what I should do to overcome it. A little about how I play. I can play most heroes ok, though I almost never play hard-carries (except Sniper) as I am unable to farm gold fast enough to be effective and tend to die a few times in the beginning. So I usually play a support role, I love Windranger, Keeper of the Light and Earthshaker. I think one of my strengths as a player is how I use Force Staff. In most games I see my play drastically improve when I get it and I'm usually able to both save myself and my carries from bad situations with it. However I do tend do die too much and have problems especially against very aggressive heroes and physical carries. I also have a hard time deciding what to do when nothing is really going on. As a support I do not want to be ganked and its hard jungling so in games where the enemy is mostly farming I tend to lag behind on gold. I think my biggest problems are: not being effective when nothing is going on. Unable to farm gold fast enough. Dying too much early game (maybe I want to harass too much) and not contributing enough to team fights in which the enemy team uses scary heroes (physical carries, Silencer, Doom). What resources are available to help me overcome these problems? Are there pro-players that sit down and explain advanced mechanics, or maybe explain how games went (preferably not live commentary). There seems to be a lot of info for newbies and some info for pros but in between its a bit barren.


title: Can I bring a turret through the teleporter at the end of Entanglement?

text: In the _Half-Life 2_ chapter _Entanglement_ , one can bring along two turrets from first turret standoff all the way to the teleporter where you escape with Alyx. Is it possible to bring them further, out of Nova Prospekt, and into _Anti-Citizen One_?

title: How do you associate your game play with your Rockstar Social Club account?

text: I have an Xbox live account, from which I play GTA. I also have a Rockstar social club account. However when I log into it, I don't see any statistics or even an indication that I own the game. Within the GTA universe, I received the perks of having a social club account (free garages and GTR). How are these two accounts associated?


title: How to pick up a SEAL team?

text: In the "Spec Ops" mission you are required to drop off one SEAL team and pick up another. I've been able to drop off the first team by going to the correct coordinates and raising the submarine's sail out of the water. However, I can't pick up the second team despite surfacing the sub and driving it almost over the top of them! ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/e1ZxB.jpg) ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AfA0B.jpg) I've tried raising the radio antenna but that doesn't seem to help either.

title: What is the grey dotted blight on some areas of my map?

text: Some of my houses sit on land that has a kind of grey dotted pattern, the pattern extends over their houses and any village who comes out of the house is already mopy and doesn't perk up when clicked on. What is it? How can I get rid of it? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BLbos.jpg)


title: No Iron and Metal?

text: I've been playing Assassin's Creed IV and I am very low on Metal and Iron, and I need to defeat the forts on the South end of the map which are extremely hard. So I want to get better Hull Armor but I'm low on Iron mostly so what's the best way to get it ?? The Warehouses don't fill up on loot even after a long time after you've looted them, ships rarely have Iron or Metal, and I find it difficult to defeat Brigs or Man'o'Wars. And my Jackdaw has pretty crappy upgrades too.


title: Do I get more medals on Easy/Hard mode or does it matter?

text: I'm never quite sure whether it's easier to gain currency in hard or easy mode in games until I learn. In Lollipop Chainsaw do I get more/less medals by playing on Easy mode vs hard mode? If so, how exactly are they different?


title: Can I repeat the clock tower jumping puzzle on a different character for more loot?

text: The Halloween event added an _infuriatingly difficult_ jumping puzzle: The Mad King's Clock Tower. I managed to finish it yesterday on my air-specced Elementalist (that +35% movement speed helped!) and got a few items from the chest at the end. I completed it again today on that character and only got 8 Trick Or Treat bags. So I thought I'd try clearing it on my Guardian. After an hour of falling to my death, I'm about ready to ragequit. Do I get any new rewards if I clear it on a different character, or am I wasting my time?


title: How many rats does it take to get to the center of a corpse-pop?

text: I'm starting a ghost/non-lethal run of Dishonored and I know I need to avoid rats eating my victims. I've noticed that single rats do not _appear_ to go after corpses, but big swarms definitely do. So how many rats is enough to start eating corpses? I've noticed they only seem to eat corpses in "swarms" that will also attack the player. ~~But leaving a single or just a couple rats alive around bodies is okay...right?~~ from further experience it appears that, rarely, randomly spawned rats may be enough to kill unconscious people! I found four rats in the general area of a dead guy, however I'm not 100% sure the rats killed him, as his corpse wasn't eaten to the bone, and I didn't see the rats attack him. It'd be extra useful to know whether or not randomly spawned rats will spawn in great enough numbers to kill an unconscious person.


title: Is this empty room at the end of 'Failing Forward' a dead end?

text: So I have the red gun and I am in a tunnel with a yellow light, and a laser switch with a green locked door far away. ![The tunnel](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hUbsz.jpg) I walk closer to the locked door. Thanks to incredible timing and agility, I pass through the locked door. I turn back and have a last look at the system I have just passed. ![This is difficult to pass through without a cube](http://i.stack.imgur.com/SrhJQ.jpg) It seems I am in a room with no obvious hidden door, and really nothing to do. ![Is this room a dead end?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/vqOEk.jpg) Is this room a dead end?

text: In _Four Different Exits_ , there is an exit to a hallway right above the _Connecting the Pieces_ hallway. ![Fifth exit](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4zqGp.jpg) I tried jumping from a yellow block on top of the larger movable block, but I can't seem to get high enough to reach it. ![Yellow block on large cube](http://i.stack.imgur.com/uies5.jpg) What do I have to do to get up there?


title: What does the "Portal funnel" option do?

text: In Portal, there's an in-game option called "Portal funnel" with a painfully simple description: > The computer helps you aim into floor portals. I don't understand what this is supposed to mean. Does "aim" refer to the portal gun crosshair? No, turning it off doesn't disable the crosshair. Why would I "aim into floor portals"? I can't shoot a portal into an area if it's already occupied by the other portal. As I toggle it on and off while playing through the game, I don't notice anything different, so what really is this meant to do? It should be noted that this option is completely absent in Portal 2. I'm assuming it's enabled by default somehow, since it's also on by default in the first Portal and they pretty much use the same portaling engine (and the same portal gun).

title: Better Information On Defense Damage Clash of Clans

text: The way that Clash of Clans chooses to convey information about how much damage defense buildings output is bad. The current method of telling the user that a mortar does X dmg a second is pretty worthless since they fire much slower than once a second. Where can I find a break down / what is the damage break down for how much damage these buildings do per **shot** rather than per **second**? Sure, information on each level of the buildings would be nice but if that is too much I think simply providing the data for level one of each building would also work.

title: Modern Warfare 3 crashes my computer in the middle of game

text: This might be a really specific question, but I've searched online and found many solutions that don't work, so this is sort of my last resort before formatting my computer. This is my setup:   * Graphics card: EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 570 HD (Running dual monitors)   * Memory: 8GB GSKILL Ripjaws X Series   * CPU: i5 2500k OC'd to 4.5    * MOBO: ASRock P67 EXTREME4 The game crashes **only** under 3 separate circumstances:   1. When I finish a match in multiplayer   2. When I finish a mission in single player   3. When I get on an AC-130 (be it single player or multiplayer) And I'm running it in max settings. The really annoying thing that makes it hard to test is that it doesn't happen every time (AC130 does, but unfortunately I don't get it every time). And by crash I mean fully crash, it doesn't send me to the desktop, both screens go blank and I have to turn off and back on the computer. Any suggestion is extremely welcome, even if it's just a way to reproduce the problem every time would help me a lot for testing purposes. Thanks! EDIT: I started a bounty. More details about the crash:   * It usually happens on explosions (cars, concussive, AC130 big gun) but it's not limited to that, sometimes it happens out of nowhere, other times when game starts or ends.   * I tried without overclocking and it didn't work   * I tried it with the game's "Safe Mode" and it crashed too (not that safe I guess)   * Updated my mother board's audio drivers and have latest video card drivers   * Crash happens roughly once every hour   * Screen goes blank and I can still hear half a second of the last sound in the game being repeated over and over (an exaggerated example of this is if the guy said "Target down" I will hear "down,down,down,down,down,down" until I restart my computer, without exagerating I would probably hear "n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n")   * Video card fan speeds up like crazy and gets really noisy   * The temperature of my video card is usually around 80 degrees, but that's with every game so I don't think heating is the problem   * I have two monitors. I disabled on of them and it didn't fix the problem   * I turned off antialiasing and some other effects in the advanced video settings, and I still go the crash   * Erased MW3, re-downloaded and re-installed it, and it crashed on the first game I tried   * Took out my CPU overclocking and it still crashed   * Video card is overclocked by manufacturer see here   * Crash is not logged in the Windows' Event Viewer   * I'm not 100% sure, but I sort of remember the problem started after some Windows update, after that Windows update Skype also started acting up (as soon as I picked up a phone call, Skype would crash, I had to download the next version's beta to get rid of that problem)   * Steam overlay is disabled, and it still crashes I'll post more details as I remember them. Also these are some of the games I usually play or have played, and I have had no problems with them:   * Starcraft 2   * Skyrim   * Call of Duty 4   * Call of Duty MW2   * Borderlands   * Left 4 Dead 2   * Payday   * The Witcher 2   * Civilization V   * Batman Arkam Asylum (Although this one drops frame rate drastically only on boss battles, weird too. It doesn't crash though)   * Counter Strike Source   * Portal   * Portal 2   * Half-Life 2   * Deus Ex Human Revolution   * Among others Thanks! More news: By **changing the game's sound from "Windows Default" to "Stereo"** I was able to reduce the occurrence of this problem to once every 3 to 5 hours, however, the problem persists. If is a clue to anyone, your advice is really appreciated. Thanks. It just crashed again a few minutes ago according to the log, at 8:05pm and this is the only info I get in the event viewer: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/qVyv2.png) The ones above it say (from bottom to top):   * Unable to produce a minidump file from the full dump file.   * The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000116 (0xfffffa800addb4e0, 0xfffff8800fa0afa4, 0xffffffffc000009a, 0x0000000000000004). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: .   * (Critical)The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.   * Audit events have been dropped by the transport. 0 **EDIT:** So the bounty is about to end, and I didn't get any conclusive solution. I will keep trying to fix this, and will post my solution once I'm find the solution. I hope this helps anyone have the same problem. Thanks for everyone's time, you guys have been really helpful, I will let you all know when this is fixed. **EDIT - FINAL UPDATE** It was a strange form overheating. I call it strange because it crashes soon after it gets to 80 degrees, but I've played other games (Startcraft 2 for example) at around 86 degrees without problems, which is why I disregarded this possibility right away. Lately I've been setting the GPU fan to spin as fast as it can using MSI Afterburner, and I haven't had any crash since. I was able to set back the audio to Dolby 5.1, put back the steam overlay and everything. So I can happily play now. Thanks everyone for all your help, I learned a lot from this experience, and although the problem and solution were somewhat simple (except for the fact that other games run all right when the GPU is warmer) I hope it helps others having any issue addressed here. Thanks again and happy gaming.

I've tried to experiment with it. Sometimes they will only open when I walk past them, sometimes they will open just like that. Sometimes they will not open until the tree is dead and sometimes they will open during the fight. How exactly do those flowers work? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/5zG5T.jpg)

I can't seem to make it over the hump of the big hill and am ending up in the 20-40 meter range which isn't even good enough for 90m for a Silver. I am hitting Y and the end of the jump as the game suggests, but it's not making much of a difference. Do I need a better bike, or do I need to do something else to get air?

title: Slow / Low fps at pipboy inventory, crafting menus, NPC talk, shopping menu etc, how to fix?

text: For no apparent reason, my inventory or dialog options etc; all the 2D menus (FalloutNV is 3D but menus are 2D), become utterly slow, while outside of these menus the game (3D) runs smoothly good; Also, when dialog with NPC is beggining, the 2D menu is slow and the 3D of the NPC becomes slow too! **Workarounds that wont completely stop the problem**   A) - Sometimes if I open the console and type `pcb` the inventory becomes fast and usable again;   B) - another thing that helps is to: 1) open console; 2) click on a container; 3) type at console `player.removeallitems 012345` (where 012345 is the container id that you just clicked); This also helps to fix FPS problems on 3D normal gameplay. But other times these wont work, forcing me to restart the game (close/run again), what takes about 2min :( I have mods installed to change the pipboy menu, but there is nothing installed to change shopping and crafting menus, so I cant link it as the source of the problem... Any idea what I could look for? My guess is it could be related to graphics configurations, but I already turned off Antialiasing (to fix VATS that for no reason used to become unusable). I researched a lot and made several tests to no avail :(

title: What are the mechanics for bullying city states?

text: Two things are required to bully a city state: high military power relative to the other main civs, and nearby military power. This begs two questions: How high do you need to be in military power? top 50 percent of civs? within 25 percent of leading civ? I assume its based on the soldiers demographic. How close does a unit have to be in order to influence a civ toward giving tribute?


title: Where can I find all of the hidden socks?

text: I'm playing "Pajama Sam 1: No Need to Hide when it's Dark Outside", and there is an optional task to find 8 socks throughout the game. I'm fairly certain that it unlocks some sort easter egg at the end of the game. Where can I find all of the socks?


title: How do I unlock all of the promotional content?

text: I read There are four promotional unlocks in Borderlands 2. What are they? and was wondering if there are (legitimate) ways otherwise to unlock this exclusive content. I've also been thinking about how the players that I've seen speed-running this game all use a sniper rifle that seems to be rewarded by the Premiere Club promotion. So, being able to unlock that content would help speed-runners who didn't pre-order the game.   I suppose that the answer to this question should include (mention of) SHiFT codes.

title: Dead Rising 3's co-op difficulty when players are of different levels

text: I am in chapter 7 now, and on level 34, and a friend is buying the game today so we are planning on playing the entire campaign in co-op. However, I have discovered that zombies that just roam the streets have upped their difficulty as my game progressed. As an example, police zombies that fired their handgun randomly in the start now carry shotguns and there are also SWAT-like zombies that have assault rifles. I don't know if this change of difficulty happened because I leveled up or because I moved to different chapters. What happens if I, with my level 34 player team up with my level 1 friend, who just started the game, will the difficulty ramp up likewise or will I just be a bit more powerful than him, but playing on his difficulty?

title: The Dalokohs Bar - HP Buff calculation and mechanics

text: I just FINALLY received this item last night and seeing as I'm a fairly frequent Heavy player, I'm curious as to the mechanics of the HP boost.   * Does the HP boost stack with the medic-gun, giving you a feasible 500 point health pool?   * After the buff duration expires, do you automatically lose 50 HP no matter what HP you were at originally, or will it only remove up to 50 so that you're sitting at 300 ( - 450 if being healed by a medic at the time)?   * Similarly, if you're brought below 300 HP while the buff lasts and then pick up a health pack / resupply / sit on a dispenser, will you go up to 350, or only 300 (again, more if being healed by a medic).   * If it removes 50 regardless of your current HP total, is it possible to outright die when it expires if you are sub 50 HP? Or will it leave you at 1? Short version, does the bar give you +50 max HP for the duration, or a one- time 50 HP boost?

title: If I buy a Humble Bundle not beating the average, can I later pay more to beat it and get the extra games?

text: So lets say, I buy the Humble Bundle with Android 7 (the current one at this moment), but I don't pay above the average, I obviously won't get the extra games. But can I go back and pay more later to get the extra games if I already made a purchase? E.g. if I now pay $1, but later the average price is $4, will I only need to pay the remaining $3, or would I need to pay the full $4 on top of the $1? Or will I need to make another purchase? Also, since now for the second tier it is mandatory to have paid above the average, will I be able to pay more in the second week if I want the second tier games? All this is because at the moment, I am not interested in the current extra games (Bards Tale, and Worms Reloaded), but if in the second week they add better games, I would like to be able to get them.


After defeating an enemy, the flavor text will say things like " _leaving behind a substantial amount of scrap_ " or " _you collect what scrap you can_ ". I know that ships drop different scrap rewards [low, medium, and high] based on how you defeat them (killing the crew drops more scrap than destroying the ship, for example). **Does the flavor text indicate which rewards I got?** and if so, what flavor text corresponds to which rewards?

text: I'm on the last mission of XCOM: Enemy Unknown. I just defeated two Sectopods, and now I'm not sure how to go any farther. The area up ahead is dark, and the game won't let me move any further. Here is a screenshot of where I'm at: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mwIhF.jpg) Do you know what I can do in order to proceed? I've tried reloading my last save, and also reloading an earlier save (from just before I attacked the Sectopods). I haven't tried restarting the mission yet, and I'd like to avoid that if possible, but that is something I could try I suppose. If it matters, I'm playing on OS X via Steam, and don't have Enemy Within installed.

title: How can I force a dragon to engage in combat?

text: Many times in the game i've found myself looking at a flying dragon kind of trolling me. Sometimes the dragon just keeps flying around in circles or ovals without landing or even atacking me. I've tried to walk around to nearby locations and to the points where he stops for a while, but it usually does not work and I ignore him and keep walking until we both get far enough for him to disappear. Why does this happen? Is it a terrain issue? I mean, since the game is enormous, they probably couldn't find a way to make dragons fight in _every_ place, so you kind of have to reach an `fight area` so that a dragon will atack you and engage in combat. Is this it? Is there any way i can force them to atack me other than using "Dragonrend" which is too late-game for most of my characters?


title: Graphic noise in Wii games - Skyward Sword most recently

text: I've noticed some graphic noise during a number of Wii games. A bit in Wii Fit, New Super Mario Bros., and most recently Skyward Sword. I don't play often enough to bother me but the amount of time I've sunk in to Zelda has prompted me to ask the collective Internet. I have this Wii hooked up via component cable. I had the Wii repaired / replaced by Nintendo a few years ago and, honestly, I can't remember if this problem popped up when I got the new console or if this started later. It almost seems like certain rendering cases cause it. With Zelda for instance, it's much more prominent when I'm in the clouds. Wii Fit, on the main menu. Mario, I remember this showing up during levels only. Anyone else seeing this? ![ALL THAT NOISE](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tecEu.jpg)


title: How exactly does suppressing enemies work?

text: I chose to concentrate my skill points in the _Enforcer_ skill tree, which has the _Oppression_ skill. It can make weapons "more effective at suppressing enemies". To further understand how to take advantage of the 'Oppression' skill, I have these questions:   * Do I have to hit enemies before they get suppressed or will just firing in their general direction get them suppressed?    * How do I optimally lay down suppressing fire (for the different weapon types)?   * What exactly happens to enemies or what do they do when they get suppressed?    * What are the changes when I make my weapons "more effective at suppressing enemies"? (by putting skill points into the Oppressor skill [for Basic and Ace])


title: How can I force Minecraft to only spawn monsters from spawners?

text: I'm making an adventure map in Minecraft, so I've put a lot of mob spawners to make them spawn where I want them to, but they also keep spawning where I don't want them to spawn, messing up with mob and non-mob zones. Lighting everything up is not a option, as most of the map is meant to be dark. Is there a way to do this, perhaps with a mod?


title: Do any Food businesses have stock times over one hour?

text: I've noticed that in Tiny Tower most of the Food category businesses have very short restock times and thus very low stock count. Any time I don't check the game for more than 15 minutes my restaurants are always out of stock, and I'm usually out of stock before I can stock a second item. I found the Donut Shop actually has very deep stock with long restock times; two hours to restock almost 3000 bearclaws. Do any other restaurants have stocks this large?


title: What is this floating obelisk thing?

text: What is this thing? Is it dangerous? Is it useful? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0UqOf.png) I've scoured the Technic Pack Wiki and I'm stumped. I don't even know which of the pack's mods this thing comes from. The page on obelisks I _did_ find appears to be an entirely different structure. This thing I'm looking at is not a Mystcraft obelisk – they aren't connected to the ground, and in any case I've found them in my overworld too. They're definitely from some other mod in the pack. I haven't had the courage to mess with them yet (apart from walking around under it and learning that I don't immediately explode or turn into a zombie), but I've just found a Mystcraft world where there are a half-dozen right around the spawn – if I can exploit them somehow I've hit the motherlode.

title: Any issues with *really* long series of hoppers?

text: I need to transport about 30 double chests of material about 1000 meters in single player minecraft. I was thinking of building some sort of permanent transportation system to accomplish this. I prefer dirt simple (but potentially resource heavy) contraptions over complicated "efficient" contraptions. Because of this, I was thinking of just setting up a string of 1000 hoppers in a row, to move the material from one place to another. My question: What will happen at the loaded/unloaded chunks with such a setup?

I think that there are around 50, and the collection of all of them unlocks a secret boss, but I am not too sure.


title: Timeout issue on LAN Multiplayer with Age of Empires II: The Conquerors on Windows 7

text: I'm attempting to connect to me and my brother's computer to play our old Age of Empires II The conquerors through our LAN connection. The thing is sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Almost always it doesn't. We are always able to see each others games, but when either one of us clicks "join" and the loading screen comes up, we wait 15 seconds and then see a pop- up sending us back to the main page saying "Unable to connect" We have tried multiple things to fix this,   1. Set the compatibility of the .exe file to Windows Vista (Service Pack III) even though we both have Windows 7   2. Turned off our firewalls   3. Direct Connect through Static IP addresses.   4. Direct Connect through Hamatchi VPN tunnels. None of these have changed anything. It still supposedly "times out" with the pop up message "Unable to Connect" Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Sorry if it's a re-post, I've spent a lot of time looking for the solution and have been unsuccessful.

text: I have been playing Watch Dogs since it came out and i recently did the mission called "Not A Job for Tyrone" and my friend did this mission to. But what i wanted to ask about is how i hack a car. What i mean by that is, everytime i steal a car, i need to break the glass to get into the car. But my friend does only need to press Triangle (on PS4) and he just opens the car like if he has the keys to unlock it. But i do not have it. We've done the same missions and everything but still, nothing. Is it maybe because i haven't unlocked any ctOS towers? Thanks.

title: Started game before trophy support; after update (which adds trophies), they still can't be earned?

text: _First off, sorry for the vague title, but I can't find a good way to describe this situation in brief._ Recently my brother and I began playing _Uncharted_ on PS3 (yes I realize we're 7 years late.) When we started the game we were told to update, but we were so eager to play we decided to forego what we thought would be a lengthy download. We had done it before on other games plenty of times and never had any problems. Besides it doesn't matter if we download it later, right? Perhaps not... We played for a while, and truly enjoyed the game. Once we began to get tired, we closed the game and decided to leave the PS3 downloading and installing the update. That's when we found the sad, and ironic, truth: the update was under 15MB, and this is where the trouble began. The next time we started the game, we were happy to know that trophy support had been added. Looking through the list of available trophies we saw that there was one we already qualified for, and another we could earn momentarily. We had already found a treasure or two, so we expected the First Treasure trophy to pop as soon as the game booted. It didn't. I figured the game wasn't counting yet (which I could understand), so we started playing again and quickly found another piece of treasure, but still First Treasure did not pop. Flabbergasted, we tried to reason this out, and figured perhaps it only worked on your first treasure ever. If we really needed it, we'd make a new save file and quickly grab it. Then things got scary. After playing for a while we hit two other trophies whose criteria we had not met earlier. They were Beginner Fortune Hunter and 10 Headshots. The in-game messages* notified us of the achievements, but the trophies did not unlock. * The game has its own award system that is separate from the PSN trophy system. That said most achievements mirror directly to a corresponding trophy. In short it seems that although the game has updated and added trophy support, we still can't earn any trophies. What can be done in a situation like this? We're not _so_ desperate for trophies that we'd go to _any_ extreme to get them, but if there is a simple solution, I'd love to hear it. :)


title: Can't Switch Teleport with ally players?

text: Is this a bug or intended? The Wikia reads that Switch Teleport should work on other players in-game, yet even if I have one lined up in my sights, about 5m away, Switch Teleport will invariably read "Target not Valid". Which is why I am confused, is there something that needs to be done before I can switch teleport with friendly players? I have a max ranked Switch Teleport, which gives me a 75m switch range.


title: Is there a way to prevent animals from escaping a fenced area?

This makes it really frustrating when trying to mate the animals because they break out right when I open the fence gate. Is there a way that I can keep them from scrunching up on the side of the fence and frustrating me, or is this something I'll have to deal with?

BUT it only happens on skyrim and sometimes works for a amount of time only.

I have traditionally been popping the wrinklers as soon as I see the CPS turn red, but I'm wondering if I'm just popping them too soon. Is there a certain amount of time that they need to suck, or am I just plain unlucky? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AClOH.png)

title: Shield effect on Mantra of Healing?

text: After today's patch I've noticed that whenever I cast Mantra of Healing I got a shimmering bubble around me and my followers, at first I took it simply as an added effect to show that I have the Sustenance rune equipped, but at one point I was hit by a fireball just after using the Mantra and the damage was absorbed which I have not experienced before, leading me to the conclusion that my Mantra somehow did it. However, the description does not state any damage absorption nor do I even have access to the rune that actually adds a shield. So is this a bug? or a new effect that the tooltip hasn't been updated with?

title: Is it possible to max out every household in Anno 1701?

text: In Anno 1701, is it possible to max out every household with all the numerous goods they need to reach the max level? It seems like an infinite spiral - the higher up the ladder I want to go, the more production buildings are needed to satisfy all the needs. The more production buildings I build, the more money they spend and I need to build more households to get income. And more households eventually need more production buildings simply because of sheer numbers... I always try max out everything, but I soon run into huge debts. Maybe I shouldn't? Or is there always a "sweet spot" where a maxed-out society is self-sustaining? The screenshots always feature these beautiful huge cities with maxed-out buildings, but I cannot imagine how they got there - I run out of money a long time before that. What's the right strategy? P.S. What about other similar games? I've had the same problem in CivCity Rome, so I think it's a rather broader flaw in my thinking, then just the inability to grasp the particular game.

Furthemore, is there a rule as to which AoE spells hit invisible heroes? I know Kunkka's dreaded Tidebringer does, but are there any that don't? As the full list must be long, is there a rule to tell which can be dodged so I can work it out in game ? Something like _All auto attacks can be dodged by using invisibility_ or _All magical projectiles can be dodged by going invisible e.g. Sven's stun_ ; or something more complex. Thanks.

It looks like it was designed as a DVD/video remote. I know the new media remotes and universal controllers can both control the television (turn it off/on, change volume), but can this older version be programmed to do this too? I found "TV codes" online for the original remote, but no instructions on how to get the remote to pair with the 360 or the TV. Is this remote even capable of turning the television off (or any other interaction with the television) and how can I set it up?

title: What are those goblins doing out there?

text: My fortress is currently under siege by some goblins and some trolls. The trolls obligingly rushed my trap maze, although sadly they all got caged before they reached the goblin grinders. Anyway, I'm getting ready to have some fun with them, but the two goblin squads are just sitting outside doing nothing, or having tea maybe, whether the doors to my fort are open or closed. This happened on the last siege too, and I lost a lot of civilians because the goblins wouldn't come politely to be killed. If it matters, the only way into my fort is through the traps, which previous goblins have "encountered". I had the opposite problem on my previous fort, where goblins routinely charged in. However, if I remember correctly, that one had a non-trapped entrance which I could seal off with a bridge. So: are the goblins not rushing in because their only routes are through traps? Or is there something else I should be doing?

I often open fire on them and try to inflict as much damage as possible. However, as far as I can tell, they're not doing anything at all. Am I mistaken, and can I actually hurt jets and tanks using tank bullets(not shells)? Or should I be focusing on checking for nearby engies or other soldiers?

text: When running Dishonored in windowed mode it does not use the full selected resolution - e.g. when I select 1920x1200 (which is also my native resolution) the window does not span the full width of my screen. Since I usually use GameCompanion to convert full-size windows to fake fullscreen (like in WoW etc.) this is annoying as it doesn't work - most likely due to the fact that the window is too small. So I wonder if there's a way (such as an INI tweak) to make the game window use the full resolution I selected in the options.

I just decided to have a go on the largest size map, and exploring has been daunting, to say the least.

I'm starting to suspect the moon is actually the Night Vale Clock Tower, because I just can't see it. **How do I find this (possibly) invisible, (possibly) teleporting moon?**


title: Why don't players drone scout in ZvZ?

text: I know that in professional play, a lot of players don't scout with a Drone in ZvZ. As a gold league zerg player, I like to go hatch first, but I usually worker scout anyway because I'm worried that my opponent will do a <10 pool on me. At high levels of play, I've seen players go hatch first without drone scouting in ZvZ. I'm wondering if it's possible to hold, for example, a 6 pool, with a hatchery first build. Is it okay to use one of my drones for scouting at low levels of play, or is it really that important? How can pro players go for economic builds without knowing if their opponent is cheesing or not?


title: Display "Name" instead of Gamertag on Xbox dashboard

However, now that profile has the auto-generated gamertag attached to it, instead of "Dave," and displays as such on the dashboard. My dad has no plans to use multiplayer or add any friends -- is there a way he can still just have his profile named "Dave?" Or does the Xbox Live Silver gamertag basically prevent that? Failing that, will DLC downloaded to the console be playable with a non-Live account? I'm thinking I could use my profile to download the expansions and he can simply play the game.

Specifically, I can consistently get dingalings when using the rocket launcher or the black box, but the hits don't seem to result in the enemy launching waaaaaay up in the air so that I can perforate them with the Reserve Shooter. **What can I do to increase the chances that my rockets will pop enemies into the air?**


title: Where can I find Equipment?

text: So I just noticed the equipment value (Eqmt) in my character status. It says 1 piece of equipment raises your level by one. I'm guessing I'll need several pieces to be able to take on the higher level Badmark denizens. Where can I find some? ![1 Equipment = 1 level](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OJnf8.jpg)

title: Simultaneous two player mode

text: I bought Skylanders Giants for my kids and they've done something to make it so that in two player mode they can't play at the same time, something they've been able to do before. They press the `-` button on either the Wii U gamepad or Wii controller to swap to the other player. How can I make it simultaneous two player again?


title: What are all the effects of hacking a system?

text: I've noticed that the hacking drone sometimes provide additional benefits while hacking a system in addition to removing it from play for a while. For example, hacking an medbay will cause the room to damage instead of heal. Hacking a battery will drain power rather than provide power. What are the effects of hacking on each system/subsystem?


title: Missing textures in Naval Strike maps

text: I did a clean install of my pc, installed origin and then Battlefield 4. After starting BF4 it kept prompting me to install the expansion packs. When I clicked the link it would bring up origin and do nothing. After a few tries the waiting icon appeared but still nothing happend. Sometimes it started updating but then it would tell me that the update failed after a few seconds. For some reason it just started working out of the blue after trying and rebooting a bunch of times. I was playing with no problems whatsover until I ran into a Naval Strike map. The bottom half of the deploy screen is all fuzzy and when I launch it looks like this ![game](http://imgur.com/RlzfX1r.jpg) It takes somewhere between a few seconds and a minute for the game to crash after that. I already tried to repair the game via origin but I want to put off reinstalling for a long as possible because of my internet connection. I hope somebody knows what's wrong. BTW the Xpack1-3 were all set to true by the game. Some more screenshots, this is after a new launch of battlefield GPU temp 50C. When I deploy it crashes instantaneously. ![Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/MjJvfF1.jpg) PC specs: I7 3770k @ 4.0 GHz WC'ed GTX 770 SDD RAID 0 and 16 RAM.

text: Last patch introduced the Ultimate Tier of skins(one tier higher than legendary skins), and many of the formerly 975 RP skins, such as iBlitzcrank, Soul Reaver Draven, and Full Metal Jayce, have moved up to the 1350 RP standard. Do these 1350 RP semi legendary tier skins ever go on sale?
