title: How do I use email wishlist notifications?

text: Debuting with the Winter 2012 Steam Sale is something called "wishlist notifications" which appears to be: > We'll let you know by email or through our mobile app when the games on your > Wishlist are on sale as a Daily Deal, Midweek Madness or Weekend Deal. > Whether you're riding the bus, walking the dog, or stuck in a meeting, > you'll know when there's a deal! I haven't got a mobile device capable of using the Steam mobile app, so I'm limited to email-based notifications. How do I set up or configure email notifications for my wishlist items?


title: How to change displayed button bindings?

text: I am playing Final Fantasy 8 on Windows using the Steam edition and an Xbox 360 gamepad. I have configured the buttons so that they map to what I remembered from the console version. However I am finding sections such as the train decoupling and Zell's limit break very hard to complete because the game is displaying the buttons sequences as `B1` and `B4` etc. I have no idea which buttons these are on the gamepad. Is there a way to change the display of the buttons in the game? So that the dialogs will display `X`, `Y`, `A`, `B` so that I can easily understand which buttons need to be pressed. I do understand that I can disconnect the gamepad and use keyboard which will display the actual letter of the keyboard button, but I would much rather use the gamepad. Currently I have Zell's limit on auto - but I would prefer to input the moves.


title: Can I shrink this three-pulse-generating circuit?

text: I guess what I'm after here is a code review for my redstone. I've set up a circuit so that when I press a button, 3 items get dispensed from a dispenser, but it seems rather large. Can anyone suggest ways I could make it smaller? ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/W0Nhn.jpg)


title: Can I miss any of the "ambient conversation" quests?

text: Whenever I'm tooling around in the Citadel, I find that I can overhear conversations between other residents of the structure. If I listen for long enough, or I return to the same group of people often enough, I sometimes get a journal entry for some new thing I should recover or area to explore. Are any of these ambient conversations missable? Should I be cautious when scouring the Citadel (or any other areas, such as the Normandy?) so as to find them all before I advance the plot?


title: Is there any way to identify interactive objects from a distance?

text: To find consoles or people to talk to, I have to approach them and see if I get the circle that lets me know I can interact with the object. Is there a better way than running alongside all the walls in every room, to see if I can interact with consoles? Are the interactive ones different than the others? Can I "look" at them and have a tooltip tell me they're interactive?


title: Do I get to keep all of my collectibles from Mass Effect 2?

text: Last night while working finishing up ME2, I made a trip to my cabin to swap out an armor mod, and it got me thinking: do all of the various collectibles in my cabin in ME2 make a reappearance in ME3? By collectibles, I mean my space hamster, my fish, my prothean relic, my N7 helmet, etc.


title: What does the "Chat Gem" do in battle.net?

What does the chat gem do for Diablo 2's gameplay? or how does it change the official Diablo 3 website when clicked?


title: During the laning phase, when should you take your lane's turret?

text: This question has always bothered me while playing League of Legends. If I win my lane and take an early turret, I give myself the opportunity to roam at the cost of letting my opponent free farm their lane. While roaming benefits my team's other lanes, it also allows my lane to be counter-pushed and the turret taken. However, if I choose not to take my opponent's turret, I force them into a somewhat dangerous position, as farming now leaves them open to ganks. As a counter point, though, doing so forces you to stay in your lane, lest your opponent push it and take your turret. Thoughts?


title: Prestige Mode in Prestige 15? What happens?

text: I'm level 80 Prestige 15 on PS3. I'm able to go to Prestige-Mode (after the new update). What's going to happen?


title: Disabling 10NES Chip

text: I've got a pair of classic NES consoles; one in near-pristine condition and the other that shows a bit more exterior wear, but still functions just fine. Since I still enjoy throwing games on the original console from time to time, I was thinking about disabling the 10NES chip in the latter unit to increase its overall reliability. The question here is twofold:   * Is this a simple task (e.g. just cut a pin with a pair of wire cutters), or is it more involved (e.g. time to break out the soldering iron)?   * Will this modification have any negative effects from a usability standpoint?


title: Where are the locations of all of the Name Raters?

title: Jesus killed them but I lost anyway?

text: So, I was approached by the Elves and they asked me to come with them or fight, but that it was "a waste of time" and that I should just come with them. I fought them anyway and summoned Jesus who descended with his M16 and promptly sprayed them to defeat. However, when the battle ended the story continued with me losing. Is this a bug and/or is it really impossible to win?

title: Is it possible to pacify the Minetown watch?

text: Recently, I was in Minetown and was attacked by some sort of monster that caused me to begin hallucinating. Without noticing this fact right away (I'm still adjusting to a new user interface), I accidentally attacked what turned out to be a watchman. I don't know whether or not I actually killed him, but I received no "you murderer!" messages. (I don't know whether hallucination affects that message's appearance or not, though). In such a situation, is there anything one can do to get the guards to forgive you? What about angering the town watch through other means (vandalizing, theft, breaking and entering) -- are those treated the same way as well?

text: Do I need to get a maid? And how do I get one? My housecarl Lydia doesn't replenish my food. I see all these videos where they always have food layed out but I know they've been there before and taken it. Mine however has never come back. I just bought a house in Solitude and would like my food to replenish as I think they have done for others that play but I don't know how it's done.


title: How can I use a controller (designed for PlayStation) on a PC, with Xbox layout?

text: I just bought a controller for use on my PC, but turns out it's not an 'Xbox type' controller. It seems to be a controller with a layout for PlayStation, so when I play games with controller support the controls are all weird. I can't find a way to re-map my controller in the Windows Control panel, and I'd like to avoid buying additional hardware if I can help it (such as adapters). Is there a utility that will enable me to remap the buttons?


title: Can I force someone to leave my city?

text: My quiet little town has run into some trouble. Recently, I tried building my third bridge only to be informed that a citizen's home was too close to the build site. Upon closer inspection, I learned that my problematic home belonged to Buck, my steroid-fueled donkey. I've never been a big fan of Buck and his sporty attitude, so I'm not overly concerned with him no longer being a citizen in my town. For the greater good. **How can I remove this steroid-injected donkey and his pesky house?**

title: Is getting wolves early still viable?

text: I used to play Jungle Trundle all the time, and when they changed him to fit into the Freljord story line, I had no problems adapting because riot basically buffed him. But the recent change to the jungle and how the creeps spawn is making me weary of using the troll with a club, or jungling at all for that matter. My old Jungle plan was buy the Machete and 3 pots, do Wolves, smite blue, do Wraiths, do golems, smite red, base to buy things then continue ganking as needed. (Trundle's passive is awesome, allowing him to sustain through all that jungling in one go) However, I'm unsure as to what route to take now.   Do I start blue, then go wolves then continue as normal?   Do I wait the longer time for wolves, grab them then blue and continue like nothing happened?   Do I hit blue and just skip wolves and continue on?   I'd like to know the advantages and disadvantages of the three above scenarios, mainly for Trundle, but points on how the affect other main junglers would be helpful too. (For example, same three questions but replace blue with red, wolves with wraiths, and Trundle with Shyvana)


title: Why can't I loot Dr. Mercy's body?

text: I was doing the _Medical Mystery_ quest from Dr. Zed to investigate a new type of weapon being used, and it involved finding, killing and then looting Dr. Mercy. However, when I get to the part where I'm supposed to loot Dr. Mercy's body, it won't let me interact with his body to loot it. The quest marker shows a spot to go near the entrance of the cave (i.e., not where his body is), but there's nothing there, either. How can I loot him to complete the quest?

title: Where am I to most likely find the last 16 coins in Live Freemium or Die?

text: I found all DLCs but am now stuck at 184 coins, while the shopkeeper's door requires 200 coins to pass. Most likely I missed one hidden cave with 16 coins, though of course I could also have missed multiple locations. I'm pretty sure I did a thorough search though and my patience for revisiting each and every location a third time starts to fade... So, where did I most likely miss 16 coins in one place? Or if that is not easily answerable, where is a map (or list) of all possible coin locations?


title: Minecraft lags on a specific user

text: I have a really great desktop machine that I use for all sorts of games - i7 cpu 8gb ram 2gb GTX 660 graphics card. I have different users because I have small children and different settings for them compared to the adults. On all of the logins Minecraft works totally fine, but on one of these logins, it just starts to lag and pause for no good reason. I can't figure it out. I've completely deleted the \user\appdata\roaming.minecraft folder and re- downloaded everything to do with it, but the same issue persists. I've updated to 1.6.1 today, but still no difference. I have a Windows 8 installation, brand new, not many programs installed. I have 6 different users (4 Administrators, 2 normal users). I have tested Minecraft on 2 Administrator accounts and both the normal user accounts. All are fine except one normal user. I'm absolutely baffled so far... I have a brand new installation of Windows 8, with really no programs running at all. I have far more in my start up for my user (sc2gears, dropbox, etc.) than the user with the issue. There just seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. The user in question is not an Administrator, which I thought could be the issue, but then there is another user who is not an Administrator, who runs Minecraft fine. It's a very confusing issue.

It's on Dead Man's Booty though, but it doesn't appear on any other level. ![What?!](http://i.stack.imgur.com/P9UpI.png) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3WA8K.png)


title: Do I get less scrap if I "soften up" an enemy ship before I board and finish off the crew?

text: Sometimes, to make boarding a ship easier, I'll send off a volley or two of burst lasers to knock out the medical bay or injure the crew before I teleport over to fight them. When I do this, of course, it causes several points of damage to the enemy ship's hull. Does it make any difference in the amount of scrap I receive at the end of the fight whether I weaken the enemy ship in this way, or capture it by teleport without firing a shot? (My impression is that it doesn't, but I'm looking for something more solid than a hunch.)


title: How do I display designs in second floor museum?

text: I just got the second floor to the museum in New Leaf and I hung a bunch of designs on the wall and a few dresses standing up. I went to the able sisters to get some more qr posters online. I came back and the ones I'd replaced in my designs (which I have saved with mabel but I assumed I wouldn't need them any more for now) have all disappeared from the room. Does this mean you can only display designs that you have on your person? Because what's the point of being able to display your artwork if it's going to disappear if you want to have new designs? Otherwise the rooms are basically just going to be museum versions of your own house surely? Help?


title: Are there any quests for the Eight/Nine Divines?

text: I've completed Meridia's mission, and received dawn breaker (EDIT: oh, I would have never done this if I realized she was a Daedra!) :( I also completed the Sybil of Dibella mission and became an Agent of Dibella. I would like to know if there are any more _Aedric_ quests in the game, I cannot play the Daedric quests with my current character who is rather straight-up and conscientious...


title: How does ownership work?

text: In Skyrim, there is a console command to set ownership, but I am unsure to what exactly it does. I know it makes it yours (or someone else's) but I don't know what the ramifications are. Can I set the ownership of a random container ... make it mine thus making it not respawn or is the respawn timer an internal condition regardless of ownership? This question is addressed to people with experience with the Construction Kit (Oblivion or Fallout 3).


title: Do world objects reset?

text: What I am trying to ask is: do objects placed somewhere by me simply reset? Context: I use a cool "mod" (not really a mod just a savegame with some console tweaks) where I am a bandit (affiliated with all bandits) and so on and so forth. I have also added obscene bounties so I need to avoid most major cities. Thus I want to inhabit either bandit camps or abandoned houses, but I want to make them REALLY be mine, so I want to personalize them. I know that anything I throw on the ground inside my own house won't reset, but what about a non-instanced shack (the ones you don't need a loading screen because it's not instanced) If I just place books, potions, armor, gold and other stuff will it eventually reset or disappear?

title: Why can't I run the Minecraft Shaders Mod on Linux?

text: I have installed the shaders mod to my Minecraft 1.7.5 game on my Arch Linux. I can't seem to get it to work though. Whenever I choose a shader, my monitor will go on standby with every now and then the screen popping up with a half- rendered Minecraft, saying some OpenGL programs are invalid. I would be able to use my mouse, but not to interact with anything. Even my GNOME desktop isn't responsive anymore. After say 5 minutes Minecraft will crash, and my deskop will become more responsive. It'll still put the monitor on standby (less) frequently, but the majority of the time I'll be able to interact with my desktop. If I go to the developer console in my launcher I can see some errors somewhat like "Invalid Operation: Use Program shader". I can't get the exact error due to the desktop being very unstable. I am running on an AMD mobile graphics card, which identifies itself as "Mobility Radeon HD 5650/5750 / 6530M/6550M". I am using the Open Source drivers as provided by freedesktop in the official repositories. What is causing this problem? How can I fix it? I can confirm it's not a hardware issue as I have ran it before on Windows.

title: How exactly do I install Minecraft Mods and what is Forge?

text: I'm having a really, really hard time figuring out how to install mods on Minecraft. I've looked everywhere I can think of for help but the information is almost always outdated or unhelpful. I've seen on several sites about the use of something called Forge. The Mod I want to use requires 1.6.4 Forge and I have both Forge and the Mod folders sitting in my downloads folder. I haven't installed any kind of mods for any game prior to this and I have little clue to the technical side of Minecraft, so please keep this in mind when you give me an answer please! Things that might help you figure out how to help me:   * I want to play this mod http://phedran.com/LifeInTheWoods and am using the 1.6.4 Forge given on a link that website gives **UPDATE:** Thanks so much, Forge works now :) The only problem now is that when I move the mod I want into the mods folder and open up Minecraft, the mod doesn't appear anywhere (not in the mods section, not when playing a world). The best I've gotten it to do besides play normally is crash. Any ideas?

I've combed the shop over, and even the 'second floor' accessible through the hotel next door, but I can't seem to find a switch. According to the mod creator, it **is** possible to disable it, indeed it's the only way to access most of the items in the shop. However, he doesn't like giving out the location in public. Does anyone know how to disable the pawn shop alarm?

And most importantly: Can I still use the saves that I already have in the game? Thanks in advance for any answers.

Things I would really like to buy are stun ammo, but I can't find anywhere that sells them, and then I would like to buy tranq darts, but again, I can't find anywhere to buy them. LIMB buildings only have 2 praxis kits and seem to sell out. Plus I would like to buy those bars that give me energy, but can't find anywhere either. It seems like the game has not given me any way to spend my credits.


title: Is it possible to attack the same village twice?

text: I have been playing clash of clans for a while now and I have recently upgraded to a level 8 town hall. Out of all of my battles I cannot remember if I have battled the same village twice or not. I understand that the layouts can be the same piece by piece but what I mean is the name of the village. I am curious of this because I am hoping that I would be able to fight one of the really easy idle villages that I have attacked before for about 400k loot again. Please note that I have put into consideration shield time with these layouts.


title: Do the Reapers only kill sentient life?

text: The opening of Mass Effect 3 says Reapers come to purge the galaxy of organic life every 50,000 years. I know it's fiction, but life evolves much slower than that, in fact the human race is already 50,000-200,000 years old in current times, depending on what you consider a human. There's been life on earth for hundreds of millions of years and it seems an odd oversight for a plot driven, sci-fi game to make. Does the game mean that the Reapers only purge the galaxy of _sentient_ /humanoid life or is this not elaborated on in the game's story?

Is there a way for me to remap my powers to the number keys?

Once I turned it back on, the data looked like it was transferred properly, so I didn't think anything of it. Until I tried to play the game, anyways. Any other time you would see the police lights and whatnot. Now, its just a blank black screen, but it tells me who's online at the time. How can I fix this?


title: About genderless breeding

text: Pokemon like Staryu, Starmie, Klinklang, Rotom, etc, can only breed with Dittos? For example, Rotom, is listed in the amorphus egg group according to http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/479.shtml.   I have tried to breed it with some pokemons of the same group and the response was always negative, so i had to use a Ditto.


title: Is dust used for anything besides ingots?

text: I've just unlocked the Workshop and see that dust can be combined into ingots. I am wondering if I should just make all my dust into ingots or if I will need it later on for other things.


title: Does placing Civic buildings further away increase traffic?

text: I know that placing utilities (water, power plants etc) further away from the general city is not only a valid tactic - it's generally **encouraged** , because who wants to live next to a coal power plant? - or get their drinking water from the creek running right next to heavy industry? Obviously utilities buildings connect to the greater city via power lines/water pipes, so they don't increase traffic - in fact they're quite happy to chug along by themselves, with no transport interaction whatsoever. But what about civic buildings, like schools, libraries and hospitals? I don't assume it's any more _beneficial_ having them further away (I think they generate a positive aura). **But does having them on the other side of the map increase traffic?** Will the Sims 'simulate' the long commute to get to school or visit grandma in hospital? or do they not care WHERE they're placed (so long as they're placed)?


title: candy crush on new tablet

text: I've been playing candy crush on my iphone and laptop via facebook. I have recently bought a new versus tablet and downloaded candy crush via play.com, however when I open the game it chucks me out after a few seconds.

title: Cannot access memories after game completion

text: I completed AC:R today and I wanted to get the remaining achievements. I read that I could access previous memories by pressing start when the credits rolled and then clicking on 'DNA'. When I click start I do not see the 'DNA' option, I only see: Resume, General, Controls and Quit. Does anybody know how I can access the DNA menu?


title: How do I make cats less proud?

text: I have several cats running around my fortress, killing vermin and doing what they do best. Every now and then, a cat runs into my fortress dragging behind it a fresh kill as if to say "Look at what I did!". This is promptly followed by a dwarf dragging the corpse back outside to the refuse pile. Is there some way to stop this behaviour, or do I just have to live with it?


title: How is the weekly income for the junkyard in GTA V calculated?

text: The description says the income depends on how many cars are crashed in the game during the week. Does it mean that making cars explode (by shooting at them) will increase my income from the junkyard?


title: Am I supposed to be able hear other champions too?

text: I noticed when playing LoL I don't hear the other champions (on my team) lines. Like when you walk or start to attack they'll talk. I can hear my champion fine, but am I supposed to be able to hear others too?


title: Is there a way to keep my map visible while I walk around?

text: One of the features I really liked in Diablo 2 was the ability to change your map position. You could either keep it in the upper right hand corner or switch it so that it was over-layed on the screen and your character could essentially walk around on top of it. Like this: ![Screenshot of Diablo II with a large version of the map centered on top of the character](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IPtNB.png) Is there a way that I can set my map up like this in Diablo 3? If not exactly like this, is there any option other than keeping it in the upper right hand corner?

text: I play Borderlands 2, and I dont have a legendary weapon. I heard Knuckledragger drops one, but I keep farming him on level 1, and he just drops a cheap Hornet. How do I get him to drop a Hornet of my level? I'm at level 32.I already unlocked True Vault Hunter mode, but I was wondering if I need to farm on that mode? How do I get him to respawn? How do I get other enemies to respawn? Also, I was wondering about raid bosses. Where do I find them? Thanks guys


title: How does buying CDR affect abilities on cooldown?

text: The cooldown on Karthus's ultimate ability Requiem is 180/150/120 seconds. If I buy a CDR item like Morello's Evil Tomb, how does that affect the current cooldown? Will the cooldown be reduced by 20%, or is the cooldown based on CDR when the ability is cast?


title: What was "cloak blink time"?

The set bonus said:               Reduced decloak sound volume     0.5 sec longer cloak blink time      What does "cloak blink time" mean? Is this the time that you are still visible while turning cloaked, or is it the time you appear when you get hit or bump into something?

title: I can't invite a friend to play in Starcraft 2

text: How does one invite specific people to play 1v1 in Starcraft 2? Acccording to this note I tried the following but failed:   1. Add the guy to friends.   2. Right-click the name of the friend you want to invite in your friends list on the side of the multiplayer lobby. Click "Invite to Party." But then I can't do anything. I don't see "Multiplayer" on the top left part of the screen and I can't add any people when I have created a custom game (the friends are displayed online, but inactive). P.S. I have SC2-Heart of the swarm.

I have tried turning the system upside down and on its side. This is the only game this happens with, my other dreamcast games work fine. Any help on how to solve this would be appreciated.


title: Why should I build structures?

text: I know this is going to sound like a stupid question, but what is the advantage of building permanent structures? I understand the advantage of having a base camp with various items nearby. But what purpose do walls, etc. serve? Is it a way to keep hounds, werepigs, and others from attacking at night? Do they keep you warm? Basically, is it worth the effort of building a structure that utilizes resources in a game with no real points system or final outcome to be achieved?


title: In COD Ghosts, do I lose progress on my operations if I get new operations before completing the old ones?

text: I have a bunch of operations that I'm working on but i probably won't finish them before the timer runs out and i get new operations. Will I lose the progress I made? Is there a way to prevent losing the operations I'm working on?


title: What Bonus Feats and Permanent Stat Increases are available?

text: Throughout the KOTOR games, there are a number of quests, and (especially companion) dialog conversations that yield special bonus feats, or permanent increases to the statistics of the PC (or an NPC companion). For example, repairing the various droids or breaking Hanharr's will in KOTOR 2 yields some free stats, or sparring with the handmaiden yielding the Battle Precognition feat that adds a Wisdom bonus to Defense. Given the high importance of reaching various skill and stat break points (18 Con, multiples of 2 in other stats, crafting minimums for various skills), and the very high cost of raising stats above 14 at character creation, (and the opportunity cost of 'wasting' other feats or potential increases) it's helpful to know what the total bonuses one can expect over the course of a game to plan out a character. Thus the question: what is the complete list of these static bonuses (I.E. Not from equipment or buff or a class feature or a standard level up) that can be earned over the course of the game? I'm playing with the TSLCRM Restored Content and M4-78 Restoration mods, if those have any bearing on the answer to this question. I'm mainly interested in those bonuses gained by the Exile, but having bonuses for companions compiled (beyond the obvious "becoming a Jedi") would be nice too.

So does anyone have an idea what the best tactics against Titans are? ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NGxrC.jpg) Note: It's for the single player campaign, though any tips on what to do are welcome.


title: Techniques to deal with game 'addiction'

text: I'm sure it's happened to all of you that around midnight you realize you've been playing for four or five hours more than you had time for tonight and it's not first time this week. _(well maybe not all of you)_ My question is how do you get yourself away from games when you know that you don't have time to play but you still really want to? I have a few techniques which involve generally hiding the games in my sock drawer, but that means I need to keep my games on an external hard drive. Any other techniques would be useful.


title: Tactics versus new "updated" engineers

text: With the new engineer update, some old tactics seem to no longer work against certain sentries. Specifically I'm talking about a level one with a shield. The only ways we found to bring them down was to send a spy in to sap then have an ubered demo lay a stickie nest around it and blow it all away. Soldiers and heavies straight on ubered seemed useless unless they got on top of the sentry or we had a scout or something distract it. Anyone else find anything that works?


title: How to deal with natural disasters?

text: I just started playing From Dust, and I find it rather clunky to control. While building a bridge as part of the objective, my villagers will randomly start drowning, my village will randomly get hit by a tsunami, lava will pour down the mountaintop, or any number of unfortunate things may happen. I want to help my villagers, but only seem to hurt them. What am I doing wrong, or what can I do more effectively to help my villagers?

title: Is there a way to save the dying creature in borderlands 2?

text: Whilst playing Borderlands 2, I came across a creature that appears to be shot. It is saying: > So cold! so cold! Over and over. I felt very pitiful and tried to aid it, even after my best efforts he died. I have tried that part a couple times now and I have tried to give him a health restorer whatever, revive him, heal him, and I and all my friends have tried helping him. we have unfortunately failed every time. Its just really sad when he dies. so does anyone know if there is a way to help him? I have even tried getting him to Doctor Zed which is impossible.


title: Is the Tongue a Melee Weapon?

text: In Diablo 3 there are several (similar) creatures that attack by licking you, attaching their tongue and leaping toward you. I hate these guys; not only do they deal large amounts of damage, but they seem to always target me and not my minions. (Furthermore being licked to death is unsettling.) The question is, do these licks count as melee attacks, or ranged attacks for purposes of armor (skills?) that reduce incoming melee OR ranged attack damage?


title: Can the PC Version of Injustice: Gods Among Us link to the iOS version?

text: Let me just say that at the current moment, Injustice: Gods Among Us is my favorite iOS fighting game. To me though, the charm of fighting games is to unlock all the characters. In the iOS version, with all the alternate versions and such, you can understand that it got me pretty busy. After a while, for some reason also due to the release of the New 52 Black Adam skin, I've decided to bite the bullet and consider buying the ultimate edition of the PC version, since I don't have an XBox 360, a PS3...Well, pretty much every current-gen console. Part of my intent is so that I can unlock the characters in the iOS that needs to be unlocked via console (New 52 Flash and Green Lantern, Knightfall Bane, Prison Superman, Batman Beyond and Arkham Harley Quinn.) So I was wondering, is the PC version like the consoles? Can I link it to my WBID so I can unlock the iOS unlocks on the "Console"? And also vice versa, use the "console" to unlock stuff on the iOS?


title: "Professor Portal" achievement in Portal 2

text: I achieved almost all of Portal 2 achievements, except "Still Alive" and "Professor Portal". The first one is not a big problem but second one is, since my steam friends who have Portal 2 have already played co-op. One way to achieve this is to play with random player and become their friend, however, I'm wonder if becoming friends after starting the calibration course is still accepted. Is it OK (for earning "Professor Portal" achievement) to become friends with another person after starting the calibration course? PS : sorry, I can't decide the answer until saturday because I can't confirm until then... :(


title: How do level seeds work?

text: I see minecraft seeds listed, and I started trying some of my own. I have noticed using the same seed produces very similar styles of maps, i.e. start in a specific biome, very high mountains etc, but do they reproduce the maps exactly and you just spawn in the same place, or are they just a very specific set of rules for the area you first spawn? If I have two maps of the same seed, and I walk 1000 blocks north, will the maps be identical/similar or totally random after the first spawn area?


title: Can I mine diamonds with TNT

text: I have been playing mcpe on the raygun seed. I marked my spawn and I have a truck load of TNT and one flint and steel. While I was mining after a really long time I noticed I had no pick! I was already next to the diamonds and no I am wondering. Can I get diamonds usingTNT?

title: How to recover game data from a bricked Xbox 360?

text: So a few days ago my Xbox 360 finally conked out completely. It's a 2006 model that I had already sent in for repairs (from an RRoD) a few years ago, so there's no more warranty on it today. Symptoms look fairly fatal to me: after crashing during an MTG2012 session, it rebooted into a red screen. Now every time I turn it on, I see visual artifacts. Sometimes it starts playing the boot animation, just to crash after 2 or 3 seconds. That means I cannot even boot into the dashboard anymore. Question is: what about my game data? I only really care about saved games to be honest. I don't have a lot of games, but the few ones I play are RPGs, some of them (Oblivion, Fallout, etc.) I spent a hundred hours or more on a single character. Is there any way to recover the game save data? I know the hard drive is detachable, but the new Xbox Slim does not support these (oh yeah, I bought the Slim today).

But, when I run the demo, It does not show the controls on the top right (eg. view modes - free mode, directed camera, the move forward, play pause controls etc.). I am also not able to edge pan. Any solutions to this ?


title: Summer has come and I don't know what to do

text: During the summer, most plants wither and stop growing. It's also very dangerous to stay around in the base, because things keep smoldering up and you will probably not have enough ice in store to keep them cool. While roaming the world, I noticed that mushrooms still appear to be growing, so I can pick them up as crock pot ingredients. I just checked out the caves and it's still pretty hot in there, in addition to darkness for which I wasn't quite prepared and with all the grass bushes withered, I'm not sure how I can keep a stable supply of light sources. With so little food and everything just waiting to burn to ashes, it doesn't look like there is going to be much "free" time. But what else can I do when it's so hot all the time? Where can I find a safe place where the heat can't get me and my valuable items?


title: Can I just run away and pretend nothing happened if things start smoldering around me?

text: In the Reign of Giants DLC, summer introduces Overheating for the character and for nearby objects as well. If you stay in one place long enough in the middle of the day, things will start smoking. If they're not extinguished fast, they will begin to burn and nobody wants that in Don't Starve. But is it okay to simply pack your stuff and leave the smoldering objects off- screen fast? Will they not keep smoking and eventually burn?

title: How does assassination work in multiplayer?

text: During multiplayer games of Mass Effect 3, sometimes the commander over the radio will declare an assassination as the next objection. I understand the goal is to kill the designated target, but there are some other details that are a bit fuzzy.   * Is there any logic behind what's designated as the target? As in, is there a sequential order or a prioritization of "tougher" enemies?   * Is there a time limit to manage when killing the target?   * Is there a chance the target will escape the map? If there is, are there consistent exit points on maps?   * Are there ever multiple assassination targets assigned at a time?   * Does it matter which team member takes down the target?   * Is it possible for the target to be killed without direct action taken by the players? That is, can the game "accidentally" kill the target? If so, is this considered to be a successful completion of the objective? Sorry for the blast of questions! I know there's some cool guy out there that knows the answers.


title: Is there a Combat log?

text: I have found the notification log. However, this does not contain a log of attacks and defences. I use quick combat and sometimes I go, whoa, what hit me? In my current case, it was a stealth bomber. Is there a combat log I can sometimes have a look at when I'm confused? As I begin my turn, I see combat text on the screen. It is difficult to read and does not stay long enough. **edit: notification log does not show my tank was attacked** Here is my tank that was bombarded by a canon. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sc0kJ.png) Here is the notification log ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MtvAm.png) **edit 2: Notification of unit death and cause.** Still missing, is what attacked my unit that did not die. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/k9XWc.png)

I also had an anti-aircraft gun. I am not sure if I was damaging the Stealth Bomber. I had quick combat on which could have made it difficult to see if I was damaging the bomber. Can stealth bombers be defended from? (other than from the bomber taking a little damage as you do attacking any target with planes).

title: How do I exit Journey properly?

text: I bought Journey today, and when I tried to exit the game I naturally pressed Start to open the menu, but there was no option to quit there. The only thing I could find was to press the `PS` button and choose `Exit Game` from there. I don't like doing that as it's usually a 'hard quit' that doesn't allow games time to save. Is there a better way to quit the game? Does this method save anyway? Or is progress only saved in between levels, in which case quitting at any stage just resets your current level's progress?


title: What is the base chance of the Cryo Ammo power to freeze an enemy?

text: The Cryo Ammo power has a certain chance to freeze the enemies you shoot at, but the description of the power doesn't mention how high that chance actually is.

title: Is true damage listed as magic damage in the statistics?

text: So I recently played Vayne and I took a look at the damage statistics after the game. What kind of surprised me was the fact that the statistic showed me that I dealt a small amount of magic damage and as far as I know Vayne has absolutely no spell damage and I also didn't buy any Items that apply on-hit effects (except for BotrK which is physical). So is True damage = Magic damage? And if not where could this rather small amount of damage come from?

title: What combo are ultralisks good against in WoL?

text: I find that when coming up against a large Marine/Marauder group I often lose even when I have about 10 ultralisks. It is only in a few situations, in late 4v4 games, that I have been able to go for ultralisks, but then they just died instantly. I probably made some tactical mistakes, but I want to learn _when_ to go for ultralisks and what combo they're good against in WoL?


title: How does one initiate ground combat in StarDrive?

text: I've been unable to discover how to initiate ground combat.

text: The Arcane Destruction on the Archon skill causes an explosion when you transform to the Archon form, causing 450% weapon damage as Arcane to all enemies within 15 yards. Will the enemies killed by the explosion will count as enemies killed by the Archon form and increase the time of the form?

title: Heist preparation always fail

text: I'm now preparing for one of the heists. Right now I gotta get 4 _Gauntlets_ and mod them. The problem is:   * I'm playing as Trevor and I only have $11127.   * I got into a _Gauntlet_ and the mission started.   * I should drive it into the _Los Santos Customs_ :      * If I hit anything the mission fails with words: _"The required mods cannot purchased due to insufficient funds"_.     * I did my best to get to _Los Santos Customs_ without a scratch and I made it.   * However, after preparing the vehicle for a heist($11000) the mission failed again! And again with the same description What should I do? I failed this mission on purpose more than 10 times in a row to skip it, but this option doesn't appear. And I can't switch characters because only Trevor is used in this "mission"

title: What threat do my prisoners pose?

text: So, after a small revolt, I imprisoned a few of my vassals. This made an excellent opportunity to restructure my realm. Those who had a different culture had their lands repossessed immediately. I do however have two remaining prisoners, whom I don't know what to do with. One is a duke and double count. I could strip him of his primary title for free but not the counties. I'll let him rot until he dies, methinks. The last one is a mere count. I was thinking of removing his title, but then I started thinking ... "Well, at least I know where I have my dear vassal" While he is imprisoned, he can't rebel or plot against me. So that's neat! But what are the down sides of keeping your vassals locked up? Will his heir come back to haunt me?


title: Minecraft Cannot Connect to Server (java.io.IOException)

When I try to connect to the sever (using an external IP address), the response from my computer says, "Internal Exception: java.io.IOException: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine" I have tried looking at my firewall settings, reinstalled minecraft, and made sure everything I have is up to date. Any suggestions on how to fix this error? Thanks


title: A bug with Fight mechanic and Deathtouch in Magic DOTP 2014?

text: My turn, before combat. Opponent:   * Giant Scorpion 1/3 Me:   * Giant Scorpion 1/3 I cast Hunt the Weak selecting both Scorpions. In response to Hunt still on stack I cast Giant Growth on my Scorpion. After Growth resolution, my Giant Scorpion was 4/6, as expected. Now Hunt the Weak resolves and... **they both go to graveyard?!** :O Fight mechanic **is not** dealing **combat** damage. Deathtouch mechanic **is combat** damage and (its deadliness) should not be counted for Fight. The outcome should have been that the oponents Scorpion should have died because of 4 dmg received and mine should have just 1 damage on his 6 toughness (and should have been able to attack for 4). Right? Seems like a bug in DOTP 2014 :(


title: What steps am I missing to make TF2 render a demo as h264?

text: I have a demo file created with `record ...` and I wish to convert it to a movie. I can render as numerous TGA files. I have downloaded and installed latest version of QuickTime Player and rebooted the machine. In Team Fortress 2 in Windowed mode, I then use the following steps:   * `startmovie e1 h264` (reports that frames will be captured after clearing the console)   * `playdemo demo` (plays the demo)   * `endmovie` (closes the movie) Nothing named along `e1` is now present in the steam folder next to the demo. From https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Demo_Video_Creation I understand there should be a codec window somewhere, which I do not see. The documentation for this feature seems to be rather weak and I might have been looking at outdated information. Platform is Windows 7 x86. What should I try next?


title: No leveling Bandit run in Dark Souls

text: I'm currently doing my first "no leveling-up" run of Dark Souls (1); I chose the Bandit class as a starting class (and the Master Key as a gift), and just noticed that I wouldn't be able to attune any pyromancy due to my low attunement level. Up until now (I just reached Anor Londo) things went surprisingly smoothly, the only boss that gave me a little trouble was Queelag, whom killed me twive, but I dread taking on the Four Kings without Power within and even O&S might prove to be a challenge. Do you have any tips on how to defeat these bosses, the four kings in particular, with a low level melee character that has no magic or pyromancy capabilities? Or is it easier than I imagine? **EDIT** I am now facing the Four Kings and my concerns were justified. I don't think I can dish out enough damage fast enough, several attempts failed as the second king killed me before I could even kill the first. What are my options? I'm wielding a +5 Fire Battle Axe, and I can't upgrade it to a +10 now as I want to join the Darkwraith Covenant and thus can't deposit the Lordvessel. I'm aware of the possibility of using the Red Tear Stone Ring, but that would mean breaking the Ring of Favour and Protection which I'm not too keen on... **EDIT 2** I was mistake about the embers being unaccessible before killing the Four Kings. My new plan is to upgrade my Battleaxe to +10. Furthermore, I upgraded a Giant's set. I came close to killing the Four Kings twice today, and I feel I could take them down with this equipment.

title: How do I revive downed party members?

text: I'm playing the PSP version of **Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky**. One recent encounter with a monster KO'd one of my party members (apparently pine- cone monsters explode like bombs when reduced to 0 hp. Who knew?), and I'm at a loss as to how to get him back on his feet. I know that you can use an item to recover from KO, and if you find and activate Orb Recharge station, that will also revive your lost party member, but if neither of those methods are available as options (for instance, if you're out of the revival item and far from a Recharge station), is there some other way to get my party back on its feet? I've tried both Inns and Temples, and unlike other JRPGs, neither seems particularly inclined to help fix my companion.


title: What's the purpose of the "Songbird Defense System" statues?

What are they? Why were they built? What makes them play their tunes? I don't think the game ever fully fleshed this out, unless I missed something..


title: Do you have to die to unlock/use a new character in Don't Starve?

text: I'm new to the game and I noticed that when I died after a few days I almost unlocked the second character. Is this the case to actually unlock the characters and use them or do they unlock after you reach so many day and can you switch character in game? Because I wouldn't like to last X amount of days and then have to die just to use a new character.


title: Is it possible to have the Corruption and the Crimson Biomes in the same world?

Or would these seeds just get you more of the Crimson?

Here's a Link to one Skin Sticker.

title: Will repeatedly looting villages bankrupt the AI players' economy?

text: I've put together a fast, brutal party of slavers, and we love to burn villages. My dream is to undermine the economy of Rhodoks so badly that the other kingdoms devour their lands. However, I'm not certain that such plunder actually affects the AI players. Does anyone know? I'm suspicious because of things like the AI magically spawning new soldiers into a garrison, without any lord recruiting them, training them, or moving them in. I assume that the AI uses many shortcuts. Since I've never seen an AI lord enter a village (and collect his taxes), it makes me wonder if that economy matters at all.


title: Why can't I add Stereoscopic 3D to my game?

I've tried making new engines, loading old saves, rebooting my computer, and even making another game, hoping the graphics option would reappear, but it never does. Why can't I add Stereoscopic 3D to my game, and what do I have to do so that I can?

title: How are score streaks meant to be obtained?

text: So I was watching some video footage of good players and I'm totaly confused now. For me score streaks seem to work completely differently. If I die, I need to regain all the score streaks again (even when I already have them), but on the footage it seemed that when the player kept the first two score streaks and died, he started gaining the third one. Am I missing something completely obvious here? Is there some switch as to which score streak I want to gain points for?


title: Can Civilization 2 be modded/patched to always allow all research options?

text: In Civilization 2 (Specifically ''Civ2: Multiplayer Gold Edition'') is there some way you can edit the rules.txt or something to make it so that when you've given the options to select a tech it will always allow you to select every teach you have the requirements for? Specifically, when starting a new game, I usually research Code of Laws and Ceremonial Burial, but then Monarchy won't show up right away, and I'll have to research something else before I can research Monarchy. And it's just really annoying.

title: Why are there two "GTO TWIN TURBO" cars?

text: In Gran Turismo 3, there are two separate Mitsubishi "GTO TWIN TURBO" cars available to purchase. They have exactly the same price, the same engine, and almost all of the specs are identical. Besides having different graphics in the list, one is 25mm longer, 30kg lighter, and is available in green rather than blue. Is there something I'm missing, or are these really nearly identical? Is there any advantage whatsoever of the heavier car? EDIT: I just noticed that another Mitsubishi car has a double. There are two "LANCER EVOLUTION VI GSR Tommi Makinen Edition" cars which are identical in all listed specifications.


title: Can I trust Steam-powered games? Is there any unwanted behavior installed with Steam?

text: So - I just bought the new game **Supreme Commander 2**. This question is not about the game, but about _the online software installation platform that it seems to require._ I haven't bought a game in a long time, and I'm puzzled: Apparently, SC2 is a "Steam"-powered game. When I went to install the game, it asked me to either create a new Steam account, or log in with an existing account. I clicked "Cancel" because _I don't plan to play online_ and _I don't want anything unnecessary installed on my computer_ , since I only plan to play single player! However, after clicking "Cancel", the installer asked for my confirmation that I indeed wanted to **cancel installation of the game!** I thought I was just canceling the "online" portions! I understand now that Steam is required by many games, as a form of DRM. But, any software claiming to be DRM and requiring connectivity makes me worried. So I really want to know:   * Can I trust this "Steam" DRM (Digital Rights Management) software platform?   * Has anybody done any independent verification on how this platform works? (I'm very leery of any DRM after the Sony BMG CD copy protection scandal. Thank goodness for Mark Russinovich.)   * Does the "Steam" platform install anything particularly nasty or unwanted on my computer?

title: Can encrypted/password protected USB devices be mounted to a PS3 console and be accessed?

text: I recently got a PS3 Slim, 120GB model, with 4.13 (or was it 4.31?) installed as the last update. I also only just found out there is no way to password protect your User Account on it, and so your games, files, internet history, movies and other things that I want to only be accessible to _me_. I know that you can take advantage of the Parental Control system and set it to Level 1 to restrict browser use, movies and games, but I'm more concerned about my photos and videos on the HDD. So I thought that I could put them on a USB (the ones I wanted to be accessible to only me) and encrypt it with a passcode, and have it prompt me before opening and exploring. Is this possible at all? Also, as a note: I would be open to installing 3rd-party software to do this or similar.

title: Which legendary is extremely hard to catch without using the Master Ball?

With all the other legendaries, I seem to capture them very easily as well. But is there one in particular that just can't be captured without having to use the master ball? It almost seems like a waste just sitting there in my items.

I am looking for the 1.02 patch, which I assume is the latest (and last) official version of the game. I am working off of the original disc and not a downloaded and compiled zip (as available on some abandonware sites). The version on the disc installs as v1.00 The FAQ on Gamefaqs suggests to get if from the Broderbund support page but the page doesn't seem to be there anymore. The posting date of the FAQ in question is 2007, so it is a _bit_ outdated. Here is the FAQ at Gamefaqs, if this concerns anyone.

title: Why does the Cars 2 game always start in 3D mode on my PS3?

text: I have the Cars 2 video game for the PS3 and it is quite fun. Unfortunately, every time I start the game, after the video presentation, I get to the main menu and it is automatically in 3D. I have to navigate to settings and turn 3D mode off. The game successfully leaves 3D mode, and the screen notes that it is saving settings when I leave the menu. The next time I turn the game on, it's back in 3D mode. My TV is an LG 55LW5600, which has 3D capability, and is linked to the PS3. I do not think I have 3D mode active in the PS3, and I generally do not play in 3D mode. I would like to fix this so I can let my son have some independence without him calling for daddy to fix the "bad screen" every time. Anyone else have this problem? How do we fix it?

The dark blue screen says something about a NullPointerException, the full thing can be found here. The full report in my .minecraft folder can be found here. From my understanding, the `java.lang.NullPointerException` error occurs sometimes when connecting to an outdated server. However, this does not apply since Minecraft crashes immediately after the MOJANG screen.

title: Is it possible to finish main quest while being wanted dead in all holds?

text: I'm thinking of playing an Outlaw challenge game, with the following rules: 1) as soon as you escape Helgen, visit each Hold and get 1000+ bounty in each, making guards hunt you down on sight 2) never get rid of the bounty (i.e. no paying it, no serving jailtime etc.) I'm wondering how much of the game can be completed while being a wanted outlaw. In particular, can you finish the main storyline that way? I understand that I will often have to fight my way through towns, but is it possible in principle? Or would storyline NPCs be hostile?


title: What ending do you get with brainless Randy?

text: In Illbleed, if you rescue all your friends you get the "good" ending (with them sitting around on a beach, wondering what to do with all of the prize money). But if you rescue Randy without getting his brain back first, he can't talk properly in cutscenes after that (especially, and hilariously, notable if you use him for the "Killerman" stage). So what kind of ending do you get for the game if you rescue everyone, but leave Randy brainless? The bad ending (as if you failed to save some of them)? The normal good ending (with Randy miraculously being able to talk normally again)? Or a variation of the good ending with him speaking gibberish like in other cutscenes?


title: What really happened in the desert?

text: This obviously contains spoiler for the Uncharted 3 plot, so proceed with caution. I just completed Uncharted 3 for the second time, and playing the desert part again raised some questions. Let's recap a bit. Drake's just been through the whole shipyard ordeal - escaping capture, fighting off pirates, getting on and off the cruise ship and finally being washed ashore -after getting back to Elena, they have "a couple of hours of sleep" and reach the airport before dawn to catch the airplane. After Drake gets on the plane, we are led to understand he gets a few more hours of sleep (the next time we see him it's daylight outside), he then crashes into the desert. The next couple of chapters is what really bothers me. So Drake is in the desert, no water, no food (we don't know about the latter for sure but we aren't told otherwise), it seems like he spends two days (we see two day-night cycles) walking in circles in the desert's heat and cold until he finally by chance reaches the ghost town. Only after surviving the ghost town Drakes get's a proper sleep again and food. I might be reading into it too much, but it seems to me there's more than meets the eye in the desert chapter. I know the Uncharted series storyline relies on coincidence and chance but the desert scene when viewed without any interpretation seems really far-fetched. Twice before that point in the game we see characters hallucinating stuff that's not there, is it possible Drake imagines part of that desert journey (aside from the obvious mirages we see), that it really lasted much shorter? That he didn't reach his destination just by chance? Was this ever addressed by the game developers or cast?


title: Does cooking food impact the spoilage/decay rate?

text: In Don't Starve, cooking food can have a variety of effects on the restorative and degenerative properties of food. I've seen people say to keep it in crock pots until ready to use to prevent spoilage, but this is not great when you have low research. And, I've seen mods that prevent spoilage, but that just isn't what I want to do. But, does a cooked item last longer than the raw food?


title: What's the difference between AVO and DDG?

text: When providing battle support, units offer AVO, which is Avoidance. I know it directly lowers enemy's chance to hit. But units can also increase DDG. I can't find anything in the in-game help about what it does, or what it stands for. Presumably, it's meant to be short for Dodge, but I've seen supports offer both AVO _and_ DDG, which leads me to believe that's not what it is. What is DDG, and what does it do? If it differs from AVO, what is the difference?

I've built a test setup: six powered rails on the bottom of a 40-block incline of unpowered rail, and a short loop of rail on the bottom. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Azqjh.png) If I ride in a cart slowly onto the powered rail, it pushes me near the top of the incline, almost all the 40 blocks and after descent back, through the powered rail, the loop and the the powered rail again I get ejected a long distance from the top of the incline, with a plenty of power to spare - as if energy from descent and double pass through the powered rail accumulated. Now if I push an empty cart onto the powered rail, it goes some 10 blocks up, descends, then goes around the loop, and back, 10 blocks up. The same happens if I push the empty cart down from the top of the incline. Similarly, if I leave a long span of unpowered track on the bottom of a long incline, I can ride a long way after the descent, but an empty cart stops a short way from the bottom of the hill. I'd think such a blatant effect would get mentioned somewhere in the wiki. Or am I doing something wrong? Need to release brakes on empty cart or something?


title: My villager has one trade and it is locked. Is that a glitch?

text: I locked this villager's only trade and it won't unlock! It has been like that for a few hours. I logged out and back in too. Is that a glitch? ![one locked trade](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Zc0w3.png)


title: Minecraft 1.7.9 Crashing (Not Responding)

text: So, for some reason my Minecraft keeps unresponding. I've tried updating Java, completely deleting my .minecraft folder and re- installing Minecraft and everything but it never seems to fix my issue. If I open Minecraft and don't leave the window, I can play it for as long as I'd like and it works fine. If I ever switch to Chrome or something else from my Minecraft window and then go back to it, it'll show that it's unresponding and then if I click anywhere it goes fully grey and says loading. I've let it load for up to an hour and it never actually works. If I close my Minecraft and run it again, it will work fine until I leave it. This issue has been going on for a week or so. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/slwUj.png)


title: How do you get the key that is guarded by the jumping lizard in the "urchin" area?

text: I'm in the area full of urchin-like things, where a key is guarded by a jumping lizard. I found the four other keys, but I can't get this one. I tried clicking on the three "urchin-like" plants, in different orders, but I didn't find the solution. Any tips? I can't post an image here since I'm a new user, but here is the link to the screencap: ![](http://i.imgur.com/FgFiu.jpg)


title: Is there a way to check my achievements inside the game?

text: I saw that is possible to check my achievements in my profile screen (where I can start the game or chose the quest) by right clicking in my hero and choosing achievement. How can I (if possible) check in-game my achievements?
