title: Will fish populate artificial underground canal?

text: 1. If I channel to make an artificial underground canal or pool, fed by a natural river (and disappearing at the edge of the map), is there a chance small fish (as I understand it, vermin) will populate the canal so that I can fish from it?   2. What if I let the water run through floor grates or wall grates to keep out crocodiles? As I understand it, this will definitely keep out large fish (creatures, as opposed to vermin) like carps. But what about small fish? I.e. do vermin pass through the floor grates? Or, on the other hand is it possible that the small fish will spontaneously spawn in my artificial pool/canal? Of course I could build a walled off area with floorgrates over the river, this would let my fisherman fish safely as well. but it's less beautiful and I thought the grate over the river would be more vulnerable to building destroyers.


title: What benefits does a sniper rifle offer over a rifle?

text: In my first playthrough, I was using a rifle a lot with my Engineer. When I found the ingredients needed to upgrade to a sniper rifle, I did so, assuming it would be a better weapon. Instead, it seems pretty much the same, except it takes a lot longer to reload. It could have been coincidence, but it also seemed like I was more prone to miss enemies that were in melee range. Were there some benefits that I didn't notice? What are the exact differences between the two weapons?


title: Diablo 2 & Wine Compatibility

text: I was just wondering if anyone has any experience installing & running Diablo 2 on Linux (Ubuntu 10, latest Wine) using Wine? I tried to install the other day and encountered a problem, but I think that was due to my slightly decrepit cd-rom. EDIT : The file that it failed on was "d2video.mpq" on the cinematics disc. :(


title: What is the range of an explosion in minecraft?

It would be nice if there was a list of ranges with the different kinds of blocks surrounding the origin of the explosion.


title: How can I sort/organize my Steam game library?

text: My game list is approaching 100 games and it is starting to get difficult to sort them. I've categorized them by genre but it's still difficult to find them (and my backlog is getting bigger). I also have Steam installed in more than one computer so I have to repeat the sorting for each one of them. Is there any option to have the games ordered in a nice and clean way? **Edit** : About the library sync between computers it could be this problem.


title: Where to find better weapons in Guild wars 2

text: So I am currently approaching lvl 70 with my Warrior but I am quite disappointed with the gear I'm still using. I believe I use an uncommon greatsword and still have regular armour. Although they do quite a bit of damage (or block damage) I'm looking for some better (cool looking) armour since I still look like a lvl 10 char. My actual question would be where can I find better weapons and armour. I am talking in drops not in purchases or crafting. Any help would be appreciated.

title: PS3 Controller does not work

text: We just bought a PS3 and we can't get the controllers to work. They aren't controllers that came with the system because it's used, and the controller it came with, is broken. We turned the PS3 off, plugged in the controller, and pressed the PS button. The 'Controller 1' light turned red, and thus, we know that the controller was assigned as controller 1. Then the TV had a black screen. I don't know what's damaged: The controller or the PS3. These aren't Sony controllers.

The dialog, however, did pop up after every update to the app, which did make me curious - what does enabling Scoreloop do?

title: I missed some homestead missions. Can I go back and pick them up?

text: I didn't know that the homestead missions in Assassin's Creed were limited to a specific sequence, so I skipped a few thinking I could just do them later on. Unfortunately, I'm now in sequence 7 and I've missed recruiting some people. Is there a way to go back and pick up those missions? I tried replaying a mission, but the replay ended as soon as the mission did. I'm on the playstation version, if that makes a difference.


The title states the Question. I just bought myself permanent access to Megabeth, leaving me with the Question which Endorsements and Products would be the best setup for agressive but supportive Gameplay within this game. As explanation: I love to kill many bots but also engage players directly as I encounter them. My main concern is, as with other moba games, survival and kills. For now I equipped only some health and heals upon juicing to make up for missing skill while still learning the game, but I am sure there are better solutions. **As Megabeth, on what Endorsements and Products should I focus?**

title: How can I correct missing lore achievements?

text: Through various instances of downtime or pseudo-downtime (where the servers were being worked on and "you may cause some interruption in communication, ability to log in, use of in-game features, and disconnections."), I made it through quite a bit of the game without the achievements for most of Acts I and II. Things like lore for monsters, explored areas, and even bosses beaten as part of quests aren't present in my achievement log (though the quests are completed, and I'm finished with Normal). I figured that it wouldn't be an issue, given that I was about to go through those same locations and fight those same mobs in nightmare. This works fine for quests, activity, and location achievements, but one this is _totally broken:_ monster lore. I've got the lore for a monster in my list, and can listen to it. Because of that, when I kill that monster for the first time again, I am not presented with the lore popup, and can't get it logged. Is there any way to reset found lore? If not, is there any way to fix this on my current playthrough? If neither will work, will I get the monster lore popup on a second character in order to have it added to the bestiary achievement checklist?


title: Can the Collector Edition Dyes be transferred between users?

text: I'm a bit fussy about my character's appearance, and always want to look my best when slaying hordes of demons. I read that there are two collector-edition dyes I do not have (Beige and Dark Grey), which have unlimited uses. Is it possible to purchase/trade these dyes from another player? Or am I stuck with finding someone who has these dyes, and getting them to dye my gear for me if I want these colors? (If you have CE dyes, it might be an interesting source of income for you if you can get people to trust you enough to give them their items) :)


title: Is there any relationship between Lorule and ALTTP's Dark World?

text: Lorule, the "Dark World" version of Hyrule in _A Link Between Worlds_ , bears an extreme resemblance to the Dark World from _A Link to the Past_. ( _ALTTP_ spoilers follow:) > However, in _A Link to the Past_ , the "Dark World" was actually the Sacred > Realm, twisted into an evil form by Ganon using the Triforce's power, and is > later reverted to the unspoiled Sacred Realm (or "Golden Land") after Link > recovers the Triforce, undoing much of Ganon's evil influence over the land. > This is canon in _A Link Between Worlds_ ' world, as shown by the murals > depicting the events of _ALTTP_ in Hyrule Castle.

This is all despite the fact that from a story > perspective, these two Dark Worlds are actually two different places, and > seem to have no direct relationship. Obviously, from a game design perspective, the two realms are designed similarly because _A Link Between Worlds_ is deliberately aping _A Link to the Past_ from top to bottom, including to its geography, dungeon concepts, monster design, items, and music. However, from a story perspective, is there any official canon explanation for these similarities? Is there any direct connection between ALTTP's Dark World and Lorule, or is it just a "coincidence" that they share so much in common?


title: How do +damage mods work when dual wielding?

text: There are rings, shields and many other non-weapon items that give a small boost to damage. If someone wears say a ring with +3-5 dmg, and dual wields - does this mean that it will give the full effect to both weapons? Or only to the main weapon, split among them or some other variant?

I wanted to build an actually cabinet of sorts to look like an old arcade machine. I have a good computer to handle the emulation and roms, but needing other advice on where exactly to start. I have seen other machines when powered on, they are brought directly into MAME where a game can be selected, instead of going into Windows and having to load the application manually. What is all behind that?

text: I'm playing Panzer Corps campaign. For Stalingrad, "marginal victory" condition is to capture all objectives except three cities in Caucasus.

Maybe it has something to do with capturing some cities with Romanian units, but on strategic map they still show as mine (grey). So, why?

title: Why do I have bad performance with the Geforce 550M when running on suggested graphics settings for games?

text: Many games like Skyrim or Saints Row 3 have performance detection included. Whenever I run it, the suggested graphics settings are "Ultra", "Maximum", etc., but when running the game on that settings, it lags like hell and is unplayable. Even medium graphics settings are often lagging. Also, pages like Can you run it? are showing me I can play Metro 2033 on Maximum settings, but even minimum settings (everything disabled or lowest level) are lagging. My graphics card is a nVidia GeForce 550M. I've tried re-installing Windows from scratch, updating my drivers again and again but nothing.

I have restarted the game and again waited a while but this just keeps happening. I was looking to create a custom game and play against some bots before even attempting PvP. Any ideas on this situation? Thanks in advance for any help that is provided. Additional Information: This is also happening when attempting to join a matchmade game (vs A.I). After restarting the game several times, it seems to sort its self out but it will eventually revert back to "Not available while in a lobby" and I have to restart several times again.

title: Is "Overlord: Raising Hell" for the PC a standalone expansion?

text: For some Steam games, like Titan Quest, the expansion is really just an addon to the original game, and includes all the original content plus more. Thus, even though the game and its expansion are listed separately, if you own the expansion there's really no reason to ever launch the base-game from Steam. However, for other games, like F.E.A.R. and Deus Ex, the expansion is a completely separate, standalone game. Thus, you'll want to play through and beat the original before ever launching the expansion. In both of the above cases, the expansion says _"requires the base-game to play."_ * * * I just got Overlord and its expansion, Overlord: Raising Hell. I'm wondering if it falls into the first category or the second; **I need to know whether I should start by launching Overlord, or if I can just launch Overlord: Raising Hell without skipping any content.**

title: Any way to fix Cathedral crash in Fallout?

text: I really searched it before on web. I can't get to the 3rd level in Cathedral (Master's Lair). All the solutions I found were from a very old thread in No Mutants Allowed. Nothing worked for me and the last one I tried corrupted all my savegames. There was nothing I could do. I watched the ending from Youtube. I know there are people who finished in XP without a problem. I want to give it another try if it will work. I am done with that stupid thread. It's 6 years old they kept merging it with every useless solution possible. If somebody here solved it , please explain how you did it with details. If you didn't have a problem, explain if you did something after installation.   * I patched the game to 1.1 before I started playing so it may be the whole problem. v1.0 may have a gameplay without any problems, I don't know.   * Entering area with too many items. I reloaded to an older save and entered area with less than 10 items, it didn't work.   * Using this fix. It corrupted all of my savegames. Thanks a lot   * Patching game to 1.2 after problem, didn't help too. I hope it doesn't get closed, actually I am so desperate I had to take my chance. I took a quick look at FAQ, nothing is restricted about fixing bugs. Additional info: Same problem happens on military base. I ended up playing Cathedral before there. I tried my luck there after learning about it, I managed to get in without a crash one time, yet there were times it crashed the same way. **Update:** I started a new game with the patches that corrupted my saves (1.2 and fix and maybe an unoffical patch). I made my way to Master's Lair after getting a level (needed for picking the door) and area loaded. So I'm giving it another try, I will post the result.

title: Is it even worth picking up weapons in the campaign?

text: I've been through the first couple of chapters of the campaign, while constantly picking up and trying out any weapon dropped by enemies. So far, I haven't found a single weapon that was noticeably better than the ones I started with. In fact, most were distinctly worse. So I ask to the members who have already finished the campaign: were there moments in the game were you picked up a weapon that was undoubtedly better than your original one? Was there a pickup, at any point, that made you glad you were picking up everything? Or should I just give up trying out every new weapon I find?

It is clearly stated at the end of IB1, that the Infinity Blade has the "ability to prevent immortals like the God King from resurrecting after death" My question is this: If Siris aKa Ausar was indeed a Deathless, shouldn't the Infinity Blade have killed him permanently in IB1 itself? Or am I missing something?


title: How is world data stored in Minecraft?

text: Minecraft worlds are huge; supposedly, nearly 130 quadrillion blocks. (Zoom out a little on that site and you'll see it.) Anyways, I looked in the Save folder (C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming.minecraft\saves), and the world I'm currently playing in has a folder of the same name as my world. This folder is only 12 Mb. Does Minecraft really store 130 quadrillion blocks in 12 Mb, or is there some kind of insane level encoding going on? Even if there is crazy encoding ("Saving chunks", whatever that means) in the game itself, one does not simply fit 130 quadrillion blocks into well under one gigabyte of physical memory. How does Minecraft store world data? As a programmer, I understand tilemaps that represent 1 or more blocks (in a 2D sense) per byte, and world data of that sort, but I can simply not wrap my mind around how 130 quadrillion blocks take up so little memory.


title: Energy Weapons vs Small guns: Pros and Cons

text: What are the relative pros and cons between energy weapons and small guns? Such as damage, rate of fire, accuracy, & ease of finding ammo. While playing playing the game I haven't got to a stage in any saves where either skill was maxed out, so for reference for my next play through of the game, i want to be able to weigh the differences between skills.

title: How to hook my nintendo64 on a monitor?

text: So the nintendo64 being a little old needs to be converted to go into a vga/dvi input. i've seen people mention things about boxes, but   1. i'd like to know why i need that   2. how it works   3. what specific type do i need if i don't need one and a simple adapter works, then maybe just post which adapter will work.


title: Where did my dropped item go?

text: I just pickpocketed an Orcish bow off of someone (much better than my current bow), but while I was dropping items from my inventory to clear some weight, I accidentally dropped the bow. Now I can only see the two items I dropped first on the ground. Where did my bow go, and can I get it back without reloading a saved game?

text: Is there any way to change victory conditions of a game already in progress?


title: Is it really worth hoarding all the loot you find?

text: By level 49, I have collected hundreds upon hundreds of various items during my quest. I have accumulated so much loot, in fact, that I need to use 6 barrels in Riverwood to categorize my wide assortment of stash, each one heaping full with armor, weapons, gems, jewelry, potions, ingredients, ore, ingots, magic books, scrolls, and other miscellaneous items that carry a good sell value. If I were to follow through with my plan and sell off everything I have, I'd easily walk away with 50k+ in gold. There's just one small problem... ...no merchant is rich enough for my patronage =\. In fact, I don't think all the merchants in all of Skyrim combined are rich enough. I know there are perks I can get that allow me to sell a wider range of items to vendors that would be otherwise uninterested and perks that will put more gold in the vendors' pockets, but no perk will give me the edge I need to completely liquidate my inventory. What is one to do? Simply stop collecting loot since no one in Skyrim can afford to buy it?


title: Does bouncing my connection through personal computers or phones prevent detection?

text: Since you can't connect to personal computers and phone numbers and look at their logs does that mean after bouncing through them I wouldn't be able to be traced?


title: How can I find a new god?

text: After the initial character creation, is there any way to change the deity you're worshipping? A certain bonus might have looked attractive on the startup screen but might not be working out (ie perhaps I chose to be atheist and realize 1% exp bonus is not that great).


title: How does the replay system work?

text: I've searched all over the Mass Effect Wiki and can't find a page that has all the information I'm looking for. I was hoping to find something similar to the Playthrough 2 page on Borderlands Wiki but it seems no such page exists, or no such page is easily findable via the logical search terms I'm using. I have several questions about how the replay system works in each of the Mass Effect games:   1. How many times can you replay the same character?   2. When you do replay, what parts of your character get carried over to the new playthrough?       * Pre-service history?     * Psychological profile?     * Class?     * Appearance?     * Paragon/Renegade points?     * Level?     * Skills?     * Inventory items and/or ship/weapon upgrades?     * Cosmetic surgery?     * In-game choices?   3. If I've played a single character multiple times, and if I can change significant decisions in each playthrough, can I choose which playthrough I want to import to the next game? If so, can I import multiple instances (from different playthroughs of previous games) of the same character into separate, new games on the sequel(s)?   4. What benefits do you get from replaying a character, that new characters don't get?


title: When can I stop picking up trash?

text: I started playing London Life today, and while my job as a Trash Picker is pretty profitable, I would love to be able to do something different. I know that in the Station, a man mentioned that if I was a Bus Driver of a certain level I could apply to be a Ticket Taker, so I know there are other jobs out there. How do I go about getting a better job?


title: Is it possible to modify the ruleset so as to change stack destruction?

text: This is actually a follow up to a previous question of mine. It deals with the feature of the combat rules that destroys an entire stack of units (no matter how large) by a single unit as long as the single unit can kill the strongest unit in the stack. Why is this unrealistic? Well, because its unrealistic for a stack of 20 horsemen getting slaughtered by a single catapult. Or a fleet full of non-veteran battleships getting destroyed by a single veteran battleship. As much as some players hate stacking, this is just a deal breaker for me. Other methods to prevent stacking would be to inflict a little collateral damage on the stacked units like Civ 4 does. So here is my question: Is it possible to incorporate such a change by modifying the ruleset file?


title: How do you counter multi-tank teams in Dominion?

text: In Dominion, characters that can just stick around towers and toss ranged attacks but still have a fair bit of defense (Kayle, Galio) seem to be able to indefinitely buy time against 2 or even 3 attackers until backup arrives, which is never far away due to free speed buffs in the center. The extreme mobility also allows the defense-y classes to rush between CPs. How do you counter a team that goes heavy into tanks?


title: I failed to steal from a NPC. I don't want to kill her because of a quest, but she keeps trying to kill me. What do I do?

text: I tried to steal from a girl in Kingdoms of Amalur. But she saw me or something like that and now she's trying to kill me if I approach her. The problem is that she's important in a quest I was doing. Is there a way to apologize for the steal to an NPC? Or will she forget with time?


title: How many cards can I collect per day?

text: I have been playing Portal 2 from the start in order to collect trading cards in the Steam trading card beta. I have collected four cards so far, and when I look at my badge process it gives an overview of the cards I have, and the cards I'm missing. The bit that I am questioning though is that in the top right corner it states "No card drops remaining": ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/w8wcs.jpg) I have only collected the four cards today for Portal 2. Does this mean that there is a per-day limit on the number of trading cards you can get per session? Is this a per day limit or a per gaming session limit? Is there even a limit at all?


title: Does Rift support user interface customisation?

text: What level of user interface customisation does Rift support? Is it possible to move/resize/remove individual user interface elements? Does Rift support addons, similar to the way that World of Warcraft does? I am intending to go down the familiar route of being the group/raid healer/support character so some kind of mouse over healing addon (similar to VuhDo or Grid) would be ideal.


title: How do you join two Xbox Live accounts?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Is there a way to merge user profiles on xbox360? I made an Games for Windows Live account a few years ago using my Gmail address. Some time ago I also started playing on my friend's Xbox and subsequently made a new account with my Hotmail address (having forgot about my first account). I've recently started gaming on the PC again and also using Games for Windows Live. You see, now I have two accounts which I would like to join, because both accounts have achievements and other such stuff, I'd like to have it all under one account.

title: Advanced blueprint usage

text: Throughout my time in Eve I've aquired many blueprints; at first it has only been for simple things (ammo, drones, etc), but more recently I've started purchasing rig and ship blueprints. As these items take more time and resources to build, I've started to wonder about the usefulness of the advanced blueprint interactions that are available for my character (time/material research, invention and reverse engineering). I have a couple of questions regarding this:   * What do these options actually do?   * Will these interactions allow for faster/cheaper/better manufacturing?   * Why is it so difficult to find an available 'slot' in the research stations for some of these options (most notably material research)?


title: How were text adventures meant to be played?

text: I have recently started playing Zork. I'm a big fan of graphic adventures from around '90, finished several of them on my own so I think I'm not particularly bad at them, but I'm having little luck with this one. I think the problem is that I don't really have the right mindset. I'm going to elaborate somewhat to give you my impression of the game. I get how I'm supposed to read everything on the screen carefully, especially since the descriptions are really short and seem to be dense with hints. I get how I'm supposed to draw a map while I move around and take notes of items I find and various points of interest. I get how I'm supposed to experiment with the command line and try commands and sentence structures that are not even listed in the manual. This way I managed to map a fairly complicated maze, and also solve a few simple puzzles like descending into a shaft by > tying a rope to the railing and climbing down on it. What beats me is this. I looked up a hint which said, to get past Cyclops, I have to > say the word 'Ulysses' to him, which makes him dash off in fear. I'm familiar with Homer's Odyssey, but this would never have occured to me. Since I couldn't find any hints that pointed to this, and I'm generally making very slow progress if any, and even the whole point of the game has been kind of vague to me just judging by the story, I'm inclined to think It must be full of these kind of puzzles. So, to finally turn my rant into a question (:   Do I have the wrong impression of the game? Or are these games just inherently a lot more difficult than graphic adventures of the nineties and I have to be more patient? Or is that Zork is just not the right game to start with (for it's already full of motifs a beginner like me doesn't know, or w/e reason..)?


title: Other users being able to access DLC that I've purchased using Microsoft Points

text: If I buy Microsoft Points and buy a map pack, can other users of my xbox use them? I suppose the question is, who can access downloaded purchased content on a console, is it only on the ID that purchased the points, or is it all users on the console. Any guidance greatly appreciated. I want to buy MS Points with my Live ID, but my son wants to pick the content to download to be used under his id. What's the best way? I buy online, or he buys from a shop?

title: How does points calculation work in Nation Red barricades?

text: For me is not clear how the points calculation works in "Barricades" mode of Nation Red. I resisted 20 minutes and did 1800 frags, but I got less points than the player that come before me on Steam ladder that resisted 10 minutes and got 1000 frags.

title: Can I see some kind of workers killed tab in 2v2+ replays?

text: Starcraft 2 has a nice workers killed tab for 1v1 games. A description of all Replay Features can be found here. But this feature does not work for 2v2+ replays. Here you see the workers killed tab in some game. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/QWaud.jpg) Is there some way to see how many workers were killed in such a replay? The format does not matter I just want the information.


title: Why would I want to use a particular version of DirectX? How should I choose?

text: I've noticed a number of games lately that give me a choice of what version of DirectX to run the game with, usually 9, 10, or 11 (or some subset thereof). I have a graphics card that supports DirectX 11 (AMD 6750M, but it shouldn't really matter for this question), but I've noticed that some games still recommend using the older version of DirectX when I use whatever 'detect hardware' optimal graphics settings the game suggests. Further, in some games, I've actually noticed a significant improvement in FPS after switching to the older version. In general, is there a rule of thumb for determining which version of DirectX I should be using? Is there any reason this option is even given, rather than just automatically using the newest supported by whatever video card is available?

title: Unoffical Skyrim Patch: How do I test if it's installed and working?

text: I recently bought Skyrim for PC. I have installed the SkyUI mod which is working fine. I also want to use the Unofficial Skyrim Patch mod, because it fixes tons of stuff in the game. I've got the USKP mod files coppied to my data folder, and have it set as the first mod to load (SkyUI is my only other mod). But, one of the fixes (Argonians no longer gasp when leaving water, because they're water-breathers anyway) doesn't actually seem to have been applied. I can't seem to find any way in-game to tell if the USKP mod is actually loaded and working or not. Is there any specific way I can test if it's working? Or anyway to tell the difference between just that one fix not being applied, and the whole mod not working?

title: Loot all from chest

text: I consequently happened to have all items from a chest moved to my inventory while I was quickly `Shift` clicking them. It really looked like a Loot-all hidden feature being activated. Similarly, once all items hoped from hot-bar to my inventory - again during `Shift` clicking. So far, I haven't played multiplayer to see if it happens on bukkit as well. The minecraft wiki doesn't say anything about such a feature. Is that a bug? If not, how do I trigger it intentionally?

I looked at this question and from it deduced that the equivalent location on the Mac would be `~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/sid meier's civilization v/assets/DLC/DLC_Deluxe` but this directory didn't contain a soundtrack directory. Any ideas where I should be looking?

title: Does the Little Evie improve the action skill cooldown rate if an enemy is killed with it while the action skill is activated?

text: One of the Little Evie unique pistol's effect is: " _Killing an enemy increases action skill cooldown rate by 12%_ ". I was wondering if it also increases action skill cooldown rate similar to the Gunzerker / Salvador's skill, Get Some: > Get Some - Effect: Shooting an enemy decreases Cooldown on Gunzerking. This > effect can only occur once every 3 seconds. > > Gunzerking does not need to be in cooldown to trigger this skill. It can > cooldown the ability while Salvador is Gunzerking. > > With 11 points in Last Longer, and 5 points in Get Some, it is possible to > completely reset the cooldown of Gunzerking several seconds before the > duration finishes, assuming Get Some is triggered constantly. This allows > Salvador to stay Gunzerking for practically an entire raid boss fight, > maintaining all Gunzerk-only benefits such as Ain't Got Time to Bleed and > Bus That Can't Slow Down. If an enemy is killed by the Gunzerker _while_ Gunzerking with the Little Evie, will it also decrease (or even completely reset) the cooldown of Gunzerking? What about with the other characters? (especially Gaige, who I'm planning to also use this gun with)


title: Move Skyrim quest progress to new character

text: I want to try out the awesome new Epic Gameplay Overhaul, but have grown attached to my current mage, and EGO requires a new game. I'm curious how and if the universe will explode if I create a new character and use the console to:   * advance all quests I care about through all stages I completed one at a time.   * use console to give gold and items I care about (nothing unique/quest rewards involved). I don't care much about losing levels/skills/items, but would like to keep quest progress.


title: wii - Bomberman Generation doesn't play BGMs

text: I recently bought Bomberman Generation, released on 2002 for the Gamecube, and tried to play it on my Wii. The game works fine, but the BGMs that were supposed to play in cut-scenes, menus, etc, just don't play. I've done some research and the only thing I've found was this page about a homebrew software for the Wii that allows Gamecube games to be ran from non- disc sources. I am running the game from an original disc, though. Personally, I believe this may be a problem related to how the Wii's hardware run's Gamecube games, but I'm not sure. Could it be related to mods (the Wii is hardmoded), perhaps? Does anyone knows what happens and if there's anything that can be done? Thanks


title: How does the mob grinder work?

text: There is a tutorial describing how to build a mob farm. It uses following pattern:               S = Stone (or other solid opaque block)     W = water 2 levels under the stone     H = hole     B = border wall          |--------------20 blocks--------------|     B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B W W W W W W W W H H W W W W W W W W B     B W W W W W W W W H H W W W W W W W W B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B S S S S S S S S W W S S S S S S S S B     B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B      When the farm was built, mobs started to fall out immediatelly.

My brother grabbed hold of my 3DS when I wasn't looking, and I now have twice as many Pokedex entries, all named such travesties as Purkachurrr, Panpurrr, Durnspurrrrr, and Metapod (an azuril, mind). Since I was maybe only 20 minutes in, I think it might be best (for my sanity if nothing else), to just start the game over. But I can't find a way to start a new game! The main menu only lets me continue on the current save file. Is there a way to handle this in game, or should I be deleting data from the main 3DS OS instead?

title: Frogs fell from the sky. Now what?

text: The Reign of Giants DLC brought some changes into the game. For instance, when a terrible rain pours, there is a chance that frogs will come flying from the sky. After that rain there are so many of them that I couldn't count. There is a bee hive near my base, so I guess now I have a bee sting factory. Spiders, despite the fact that they are irritated that those pesky frogs are jumping all around, hiss at them, but don't attack. I tried bringing some pigs, but they were torn into pieces in a matter of seconds. Frogs group around all together if they see a fellow frog attacked. I think I could bring over a Treeguard, but I'm not sure he or the frogs would attack one another. How do I safely move the herd of frogs away from my base?

title: How do berry mutations work?

text: So I planted some berries at that farm just before the bridge with Snorlax on it, in the hope of expanding my supply. I watered them, came back the next day and each tree had sprouted nicely. However, some of them had an oddly-coloured berry, which (upon picking) I found out was a berry of an entirely different type altogether. Some scientist then came up to me, and told me she was 'researching berry mutations' and that I should tell her what mutations I find. My mutation was a _Qualot Berry_ , which (according to the scientist) was made from _Oran_ and _Pecha Berries_. But how did this happen? Is it something to do with the way the bushes are planted next to each other, or in a line? Or Is it completely random? Further to this, What other Berry Mutations can I find?

I understand X&Y has only been out for a short while, however I figured some somebody is bound to come across it if it is in the game. So, if Skitty (or Delcatty) is catchable which route or area is it available in?


title: Is the Bloodstained Letter bugged?

text: There are, at the time of this question, 209 threads on Battle.net concerning the Bloodstained Letter lore item needed to complete the Primary Sources achievement. My primary character, a barbarian created on launch day, has been unable to complete this achievement - the Bloodstained Letter simply does not drop, nor as far as I can tell has it ever dropped. It does not appear in my lore list, the achievement is open, and after days of grinding the Keep Depths, continues to elude me. I've never seen the lore - not in Normal, nor Nightmare, nor Hell nor Inferno (where my character currently is). Blizzard maintains that the Bloodstained Letter is _not bugged._ Is it correct that:   1. the Bloodstained Letter should drop from a Dead Solder corpse in The Keep Depths, only on a Dead Soldier (not a Dead Guardsman) and only in the Keep Depths (i.e. not in other dungeons)?   2. the Dead Soldier corpse does not always appear (it's a random occurrence)?   3. the Dead Soldier should always drop the Bloodstained Letter if his corpse appears?


title: How does the Zombie Dogs rune Life Link work?

text: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sMsR2.png) I'm uncertain on some of the details of Life Link, specifically:   * Is it 10% damage reduction, or 10% damage reduction for each dog?   * How is the absorbed damaged divided amongst the dogs? (evenly, one chosen at random, et cetera)    * If the dogs don't have enough health left to absorb the full 10% damage, will the surplus damage be dealt to me?


title: Is there any point in buying over 100 of something except cursors, grandmas and time machines?

text: Cursors and gradmas seem to have a lot of upgrades and achievements associated with them, and time machines seem to be the main cookie-makers. But is there any reason to get more than a 100 farms, factories, mines, shipments, alchemy labs, or portals?


title: Can I keep a separate set of key bindings for each of my machines?

text: Keeping true to its online nature, I've noticed that Diablo III stores my selected keybindings in my account, so that I have the same bindings available whether I play on my desktop or my Macbook. However, this is opposite of what I want. My desktop has a 5-button mouse and it would be a shame not to use all of them, but such keybindings will not translate well to my Macbook, where I use a simple 3-button mouse. Is there any way to not synchronize my keybindings across machines, or to keep multiple "sets" of keybindings that are easily swappable?


title: Is the total damage output merely the sum of the melee, ranged and elemental damages or is it less than that?

text: According to my character sheet, my level 35 destroyer deals 514-1,028 strength damage, 0 ranged damage and 9-17 magic damage. 514 + 0 + 9 = 523; 1,028 + 0 + 17 = 1,045. Gnomeslice's level 24 alchemist, according to his character sheet, deals 2-3 strength damage, 306-612 ranged damage and 287-573 ranged damage. 2 + 306 + 287 = 595, 3 + 612 + 573 = 1,188. Does that mean that my level 35 destroyer deals 523-1,045 damage per second, while Gnome's level 24 alchemist does 595-1,188? or do these damage figures overlap, bringing a total damage per second that's less than the sum of its parts?

title: How do you defeat the antagonist of the Eye of Magnus quest?

text: I just completed the final (I think) main quest of the College of Winterhold and became the Arch-Mage, although I have no idea how I did it. Nothing I did seemed to be having any effect, either on the Eye of Magnus, or on Ancano. Eventually, Ancano simply keeled over and was dead. I was shooting the staff all over the place, so I'm not sure which target had an effect and which completely ignored my attempts. What is the intended way to claim victory in this battle?


title: Does the Orc's berserker ability work for spells?

text: I tested this and my initial observation was that it doesn't. However, I only used the starting destruction spell flames as I didnt want to progress too far before finding out my Orc Mage was not viable. Using flames made it difficult to see if a 2x bonus was occurring. Am I correct in assuming the berserker ability does not affect spells?

title: Did Joel lie at the end of the game? If so, why?

text: I played through The Last of Us and the ending left me a bit confused. Did Joel lie to Ellie about the Fireflies after he saved her? I listened to some of the Doctor's recordings and he says something along the lines of "there have been similar cases to Ellie but no vaccine could be found". To make a potential vaccine they would to have killed Ellie, so i'm guessing Joel didn't want to take the risk of Ellie losing her life for no reason and saved her. He did mention to her in the car that the Fireflies were no longer looking for a vaccine, which I think is the lie, right? If Joel did lie to Ellie, why did he lie to her?


title: How does the Commando / Axton's Phalanx Shield work?

text: Phalanx Shield is a tier 3 skill in Axton / the Commando's Survival skill tree. It is described as: > Your Sabre Turret projects a Protective Shield. The Shield attempts to block > enemy ranged attacks, but lets friendly ranged attacks pass through. Enemy > movement and melee attacks are not affected. I am curious if it works like the player character's shield.   * Do shock element attacks deal more damage to it?    * Do elemental damage modifiers for the other elements affect it too?    * Does it also recharge?


title: How do the dice loot chests work?

text: In the 'Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep' DLC, dice chests have been introduced: ![dice loot chest](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BL4pz.jpg) I reckon the result of the dice roll decides the rarity of the loot the chest contains. How does it work? Which numbers dictate which loot rarity (or chance of getting rarer loot) a chest contains?

title: How do the Shadow of the Seraphs relic and the Assassin / Zero's 'Two Fang' skill work with 'burst fire' weapons and each other?

text: Both the Shadow of the Seraphs relic (introduced in the 'Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep' DLC) and the Assassin / Zer0's Tw0 Fang skill have the following effect: " _Every time you fire a gun you have a chance to fire twice_ ". What if I use either with a gun that has a burst fire effect? For example, Sledge's Shotgun - special weapon effect description: " ** _Burst-fires two shots per trigger pull** , with a long delay between each burst. Reduced clip size_". How many shots will fire per trigger pull if the Shadow of the Seraphs' or the Tw0 Fang's "fire twice" chance activates with a 'burst fire' weapon? Also, what if I am playing as Zer0 and have both the Shadow of the Seraphs relic and at least a point in the Tw0 Fang skill? How will their chances of firing a gun twice stack?


title: Do I need to purchase two copies of the game from steam to be able to do multiplayer game in LAN?

text: I've never used Steam. Several years ago it was necessary to pay for as many copies of the game as many people were expected to join the LAN party - otherwise the games would refuse to connect with each other. Is this still necessary on Steam? I'm thinking about purchasing the Civilization V for Linux to play with my wife. I don't intend to play over the Internet.


title: How to reach the locked protoplasm in the factory between the first and second broken machine?

text: I'm not looking for the answer to this puzzle. I just want to know whether or not it is possible to reach the protoplasm in this puzzle in the factory with just the two first nozzles you get, or whether I have to come back here at a later moment in the game. I've attempted placing several seeds on the floor already, but my impression is that isn't really the way to go. Even when I almost neared the end the water still wouldn't go up to the container at the end. ![Protoplasm puzzle in the factory](http://i.stack.imgur.com/lZed6.jpg)

title: Can Framing Frame Day 1 still be completed in stealth if the extra restroom guard spawns?

text: Occasionally, in Framing Frame Day 1, an additional guard will spawn in the restroom. This brings the total number of guards on the map to seven:   * One at the front desk.   * One in the security room.   * One in the restroom.   * Four on patrol. Even with Smooth Talker, you can only answer four pagers and dominate one guard. That leaves two guards that you need to deal with. **Is it possible to complete Framing Frame in stealth when this extra guard spawns?**

This seems completely impossible to me; is there any strategy to kill this guy?


title: Contender's gears vs. Crafted Dreadful gears

text: My toon is going to hit level 90 very soon and I am looking for gearing guides. Multiple sources point me to this guide, where it is stated that if I go the crafting route, I should get the Contender's gears, which are iLvl 450 pieces. There are several other guides also mentioned the Contender's gears. Then I searched on the AH. Instead of the Contender's, I saw a lot of Crafted Dreadful gears that are iLvl 458 items and has better stats. It seems these are better than Contender's in all aspects as long as I can afford them. I am looking to confirm if the gearing guides did not mention Crafted Dreadful gears because the guides are outdated, or there are hidden gotchas and I should still get the Contender's pieces?


title: Is there any limit to bounty size?

title: Is it common to die at work?

text: I downloaded The Sims 3 for my Android phone, and I've played through almost 2 Sim weeks with my character. My sim works Monday-Friday, and without fail, he will die every other day at work. If he survived work yesterday, he will die today. Period. He's been killed by everything from escaped research monkeys to choking on a pretzel. Death isn't such a big deal. I just go back to the main screen, select my character, and I'm back. The biggest frustration is that I don't get paid on the days that I die, which means I'm only collecting about half of the Simoleons that I earn. This makes progress in the game very slow, to the point that I'm about ready to give up. So my question is: can I do something to avoid dying at work, or is it random? If it's random, is it supposed to happen this often, or am I insanely unlucky?

title: What items are mutually exclusive between worlds?

text: As of 1.2, some features are mutually exclusive between worlds. In the case of ores at least, these seems to serve as functionally identical replacements. However, a Crimson biome gives you the chance for a Panic Necklace (and the upgraded Sweetheart Necklace) which does not seem to have an equivalent version in the Corruption. What items, if any, are truly mutually exclusive in function between worlds?


title: Overheat timing for Qonqr

text: I'm playing the location MMO strategy game Qonqr and I'm wondering if anyone has done the math on whether it is more beneficial to let the overheat timer expire before launching bots or to continuously launch bots as soon as the required number are available. There is a table for regen rates here, my question is specifically would you be able to deploy more bots by continuously deploying once the required bots are available (for this argument lets say 500 bots are the required amount), or should you time it such that you stay in one of the other regen zones.

title: Cannot join a squad in SQDM

text: In a Squad Deathmatch game, (I don't know if this happens on Squad Rush also) when I join I can view the other players on my "squad" team but I am not in the squad, i.e. I cannot spawn on them or view them as green in the HUD, they show up as blue like regular teammates. But I have played games of this gametype where somehow I was able to get on the squad, so that I could spawn with the squad (and do other squad things like see them in the HUD). I actually have no idea what I did, if anything, to get that to happen. When I go to the squad select menu it displays that I am on the squad and shows me the other players' specializations, and there are no buttons available to me to join the squad. Anybody know what I'm talking about? How to fix it?

title: What should my stat priority be for a demon hunter?

text: Having attempted to do some maths myself, and coming to a dead end, in an attempt to unify stat priorities for maximising damage on a Demon Hunter. The main area of confusion lies in how to evaluate Sharpshooter, and its relationship with different types of weapons for Archery. The furtherest I have gotten is a formula for Sharpshooter that doesn't account for the tapering off of crit and the 1 second crit linger after having crit, while ignoring Archery completely. The question is: **Given a static amount of Dexterity, weapon DPS, attack speed, critical rate, critical damage, how should one prioritise the stats in order to maximise single target damage over a specific time period (t) as a Demon Hunter?** Related for damage calculation purposes: How do the damage calculations work in Diablo 3? Some base assumptions:   * Time is a reasonable value. There can be arguments made for maximising burst as well as maximising overall DPS.   * Zero movement. I know this isn't realistic, but the model would get way way out of hand if one included movement (and consequentually, ramping up SS).   * You are simply autoattacking the boss with a basic attack (no skills, 100% damage modifier).


title: Fixing an old PS3 vs buying a new one

text: It seems my old PS3 fat GPU is dying. I'm getting this stretching glitch problem in some of my games e.g. Killzone 3, Batman Arkham City and GTA 5. Here is my original post where I asked about the problem before: (you don't necessarily need to read it) GTA V graphics bugs on PS3 I'm pretty convinced now that the problem indeed occurs because of my GPU is overheating. I tried putting my PS3 into the fridge for 30 mins and after trying it it worked no problem until it heated again. From sony techical support they said that fixing it would cost me around $175, but buying a new slim or super slim will cost me around $250. Now I've considered three different options so far:   1. Fixing the old PS3 by changing the thermal paste for the GPU and doing a thorough clean up for the device and perhaps buying an external cooling unit for the PS3. Cost around $15-30   2. Buying a new PS3 slim or Super slim. Cost around $250   3. Waiting for the PS4 to come out and then buy it and use it for PS3 games. Cost around $600. (According to this link it's possible: http://kotaku.com/how-to-upgrade-ps3-games-to-ps4-games-1355938247 but not sure :P) Now considering the options. Which one of the options would you pick? I'm not too short on money, so I don't have to work with minimal budget. Fixing the machine would be the cheapest, but of course there is the time I would have to use disassembling it + it wouldn't be 100 % sure it would even work + how long would it last? The third option would also be nice, but I don't want to wait that long and I think I won't buy PS4 as soon as it is released, because of the high price. Maybe the 2nd option is the best? What do you guys think? I know this question is opinion based, but perhaps I'm just looking for opinions and experiences :)


title: How do I change the number formatting in Pocket Planes?

I have the grappling hook, but I can't seem to use it from the boat.   The only option I figured out myself is just waiting for it to gobble me up, but it takes too long! I'm inpatient!

title: Is there a way to sign on as a guest in the Xbox dashboard?

text: I have noticed that quite a few of the games I play allow me to have a second player split-screen online with me by signing in as a guest. I always do it by starting up the game and then through that sign my friend in as a guest, but isn't there a way to sign in as a guest on a second controller without launching a game first? I'm asking this because some games allow you to splitscreen with a guest account but they don't offer you the opportunity to sign in as a guest so you have to launch a second game that does first.


title: Can I change my clothes or am I stuck in this horrible grey-and-purple suit?

text: I'd downloaded the Saint's Row the Third Initiation Station to fool around with. What can I say, I like playing dress-up. I'd made a few characters but never uploaded them to the community site. Figured I'd wait for the game to arrive and just play from there. Fast-forward to today, and after making my character, I'm looking around the menus and can not find the clothing section for the life of me. I find it hard to believe that the ability to change clothing is solely available from an external program. What am I missing here?


title: What is the structure and schedule of official League of Legends competitive play?

text: League of Legends has become one of the most popular games in eSports, with apparently millions of US dollars awarded in prizes in recent years. I do not play the game, but I'm fascinated by how big the competitive sphere has become and want to keep tabs on it this year. Unfortunately I cannot find a complete high-level description of how the official League Championship Series (LCS) and/or World Championships are structured, or when they take place. There's fragmented information around (which is out of date, too specific, or oddly structured), but it lacks dates and a connecting overview. Despite reading those sources, I don't understand the timeframe of "seasons" or whether one is happening now. Please be verbose in your answer. Assume I am an outsider to the LoL community and know nothing more than that LoL is a competitive team game. Please use full dates with years in any examples.

title: How to Get Mods on a Hardmod (Modchip) Original Xbox?

text: I've gotten back into my Original Xbox a couple of days ago, and I've been wanting to mod one of my favorite games, SWKotOR 2 TSL (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords), but haven't been able to. I've been searching the web all day and couldn't find anything that would work without buying something. I only have the console and controller, no other accessories besides a mother load of empty discs. My main question is if there is any way to get the save files off the console with a disc? my Original Xbox has a ModChip making it hardmodded (not softmodded) and I want to know if there is any easy way to mod it. I also have a Xbox 360 that is just plain but if there's any free thing I could do to it I'm open for suggestions. but again the main game I want to mod is TSL and the mod I want is KSE (TSL/Kotor Save Editor) but I can't get any saves off my console and I've tried downloading saves just to find out that I needed to buy something and I could even use KSE on it. please is there some way that I could get the saves off the console and onto my conputer?

title: Modern Warfare 2 Hacked servers - is it a security risk?

text: I noticed that after playing on a hacked server in MW2, I had a ping counter for the rest of my session. This made me a little curious about how the hacks worked, since it would seem that the hacked server in fact injected some code into my game. If that's true, then I am wondering if the hacked servers could in fact exploit the game code to run attacks on my machine. Finally, if that were the case, I would be extremely curious as to what security measures I could take to prevent maliciousness against me. Finally, are the hacks executed on the network level or the software level or both? Precis:   1. Do the hacks inject code or otherwise insert compromise into my game?   2. if so, is that compromise in any way dangerous?   3. if so, is there anything that I can do about it?     * and how do they work? (vaguely, out of curiosity) EDIT: I want to be clear: I'm not asking about security risks if I _install_ the hack. I'm asking about the security risk if I _join_ a game and the _server_ is hacked.


title: How random are the dungeon map variations? Are there predictable differences between difficulties?

text: I've run through the game on Normal, Nightmare, and Hell (and parts of Inferno) on non-hardcore and feel like I've seen the same or very similar dungeon layouts throughout regardless of character, level, solo/multiplayer, etc. Conversely, on hardcore I've never seen the same dungeon twice. I've also seen sections of dungeon (appearance-wise, etc.) that I never saw on non-hardcore. Are there discrete sections of dungeon that only spawn if you are in hardcore mode? And if so, are there certain events, lore, etc. that must be done on hardcore?

text: I've tried equipping all the +initiative equipment I've had, while running with springy fusilli, soul rotation, and an oily boid as a familiar, and I've still had no success with first striking to minimize damage. Is it possible to act first? I'd like to know before burning useful consumables in a hardcore run.

title: Is it possible to see the dictionary for Words With Friends?

text: Is it possible to see the dictionary used by Words With Friends? Occasionally the game creator includes dictionary updates with updates to the game itself, and it would be nice to know what words have been added or removed.


title: What stickers have special "scratched" patterns?

text: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/U7kl6.jpg) As seen here, from Reddit, if the Welcome to the Clutch sticker is scratched off enough, it reads "Welcome to Hell" followed with 4 skulls scratched into the bottom. Are there any other stickers that do a similar thing?
