title: In Skyrim, what variables can increase the duration of invisibility spells?

text: In Skyrim, illusionists can cast spells such as invisibility. The basic description claims that the spell will only last for 30 seconds. Apparently "fortify illusion" on armor just reduces magicka costs. Possibly "fortify illusion" potions have some other effect. Is there a reliable way to increase invisibility duration from 30 seconds to some much larger number?


title: What goats can I unlock?

text: How can I unlock all the goats? I've already found the "Tall Goat" (giraffe) but as far as I know there are several other types of unlockable goats. Where can I find these and what is their special ability (Getting stuck for example is one of the giraffes... well actually it's just being tall).


title: Are new PSP 3 games backward-compatible with the PSP 2?

text: I was talking to someone who wanted to sell his used PSP-2000 model. He told me that whatever games are played on the PSP-3000 can also be played on the PSP-2000. I wasn't so sure about this so wanted to confirm. I did some Googling and noticed that wherever they mention PSP games they don't mention compatibility with PSP-2000 or PSP-3000, so here are my questions:   1. Does anyone know whether ALL PSP-3000 games can also be played on PSP-2000? If not, how can I find out?   2. What are the drawbacks of the PSP-2000 versus the 3000?


title: I have the parts for Filler (Buildcraft), but it won't craft!

text: I have everything I need to make a Filler, and in the correct places, but it won't allow me to craft it. When I click on the recipe (on the right in the screenshot) it has the exact same thing, I'm not sure where I'm going wrong! I am on a multiplayer server (with one other friend) using the Direwolf20 ModPack from Feed the Beast. My computer is a mac. The recipe has been checked and it is the right one. ![Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/foEVw.png)


title: Is the Keeper class available in the Awakening expansion?

text: I bought Dragon Age: Origins together with the Awakening expansion. When I started the game, I was given a choice whether I want to start with Dragon Age: Origins or with Awakening. I chose the Dragon Age: Origins storyline; is there an option for me to choose the Keeper class during the game, or is it only once I start the expansion storyline?

title: Are any of the Harvest Moon games multiplayer?

text: Harvest Moon seems very similar to Animal Crossing, but can multiple players interact? Or would multiple players just have multiple independent single player experiences?


title: Saved Maelon's Research Data but Eve dies from the stress & fatigue of the testing

text: My husband has played through to the genophage curing three times now and all 3 times Mordin tells Shepard that Eve has died from the stress and fatigue of the testing... However, in Mass Effect 2, he saved Maelon's research data and when importing the saved file, it even says the the data was saved.. He has also done all the quests before the genophage final quest. She does not get blown up by the bomb, she just dies from stress of the testing. Does this mean he could have a glitch with his Mass Effect 2 save.. or is it a Mass Effect 3 glitch? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!


title: What damage type is a Kobold's explosion?

text: I've built an Apprentice character that only has about 500 HP and Kobolds in the later waves of challenges have started to one shot my character. This makes it fairly difficult to repair towers once I get behind. So, I'm curious if Kobold explosions are a specific damage type, like fire, so I could build up some resistances against them so they don't destroy my poor towers only Apprentice build.


title: Microsoft Flight refuses to launch

text: My Microsoft Flight just stopped working one day. I deleted it and re- downloaded it, but it still says the same thing. It says, "Microsoft Flight encountered an error while initializing its system. The program will now exit." What should I do?


title: Is there a legit way to zoom out more?

text: Any legit way to zoom out more in Starcraft 2? I feel like I could handle much more information on the screen. If I could zoom out a little further, it'd be awesome.


title: Can I reconfigure Don't Starve to maintain my save data on Dropbox?

text: I don't use Steam. I know that I probably could just use Steam to solve this problem, but I don't have an account, and I'm wondering if this is a solution. On my Mac, Klei stores the saved data for Don't Starve in the Documents folder. I can manually copy this folder back and forth to Dropbox, and then I can keep the same level of progress on both of my computers. But, is there a way to configure the game to check my Dropbox folder for the saved game progress? Perhaps a mod or something that does this. I tried checking El Goog, and didn't find anything.


title: Can I sabotage the Cure of the Genophage?

text: In Mass Effect 2 I helped Mordin destroy the genophage's in order to prevent a cure. Now I find it weird that I am forced by a primary mission to find a cure for the genophage. Is it possible to not deploy or sabotage the cure?


title: Fulfill a Krogan's dying wish

text: So after saving the female Krogan, the Krogan leader sends you to a planet where there is suspected Rachni activity and some of his scouts have dissapeared. Now right before you get to see the queen there is a dead Krogan behind some webbing, and if you inspect him Sheppard will say something about delivering a message to an Asari female in the Citadel. Now I have checked my logs for the quest but i can't find it anywhere and I can't find the woman either. Does anyone know where to find her?


title: Does grass grow when covered in water?

text: I was playing around with the idea of make pistonless automatic street lights in Minecraft. My idea was to use a BUD switch to see if a grass block had grown or died. I know that if grass is underwater during night it dies, but I dont know if it grows back during the day if it's still underwater. I would also appreciate it if you had any suggestions for non piston BUD switches, the ones I have been trying to use are not ideal because they send out pulses.

title: How to make Alien Swarm dedicated server to automatically say announcements?

text: What I want is to make my server to automatically print invitation text to every player when he connects my server. Or I want my server to say a message in fixed time interval. How do I do it? Do I need to use SourceMod for this? If yes, how do I make it using SourceMod?


title: Do I have to eat?

text: In Legend of Grimrock every character has a food meter which gradually decreases as you move, fight and rest. You find food scattered about the dungeon, both from enemies and on the floor (3 second rule clearly not an issue) to fill the meter back up. What effect does a low food meter have? Is there a penalty to my skills or attributes? Does it cost more energy to cast spells? Is there no effect until a certain point (the manual mentions starvation but does not give any description)?


title: Can you display the name of monsters in general?

title: If I'm already above the clouds -- how much higher can I go?

text: What Z-Level are the clouds at? I've found the perfect place to build my minecraft base ![alt text](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IonQd.png) Right there, in the orange circle. But I can't help but notice. That's pretty damn high. I know minecraft has a max z-level limit, and if my base-to-be is situated above the clouds, I must be getting close to the top. I'm still trying to fix my portal system so that I can consistently get up there (Freakin' portals, how do they work?) and until that's fixed (or I laboriously carve stairs back up to the top) I can't test for myself. So if I'm already above the clouds -- how much higher can I go?

title: How do I fill the Memory Book?

text: Some guy had me go on a quest to find a Memory Book, which he then gave to me. He told me that in order to fill it, I had to complete certain actions over and over again to unlock pages that would then "tell me about the world". What sorts of things to I have to do over and over again in order to fill this book? Does the book do anything useful if I fill it up?

title: Non Xbox live profiles getting pestered on sign in

text: I have four profiles set up on my Xbox. Two of them have Xbox live accounts (me and my wife) and they sign on with no problems. The other two are for my children and they do not have Xbox Live accounts. When they sign in, they always get pestered with a message saying: "Your console can't connect to Xbox live. Do you want to exit this session and test your network connection? If you are playing a game, you will lose any unsaved progress" The highlight is on Yes, which means more often than not my children end up in the network settings. Not somewhere I (or they) wish them to be when all they want to do is play Happy Action Theatre! ;) Is there a way to make sure this message doesn't appear for them? And why is it coming up anyway, as they do not need to connect to xbox live(and it connects fine on the test and when I or my wife log in)?


title: Drone Rushes: Counter for each race

text: As a relatively new SC player, specifically SC2, the single most annoying thing I have found in my games is when a player attempts an all-in drone rush (any all-in 6-8 drone/probe/scv rush) "Cheese" strategy within the first minute of the game. Since the opponents are usually doing this technique before I even get a scout out of my base, scouting this maybe isn't as practical as scouting for every other build order. How should each race counter such a strategy? If the opponent does catch you off guard, is really good micro the only way to save yourself?


title: Are shields subject to armor/magic resist damage reductions?

text: I was playing Shen the other night and thoroughly enjoying it, but it seemed like a few times I cast my ultimate, the shield was just ripped apart in no time flat. I was usually using it on carries who weren't building much defense, but the ~900-1000 damage shield was disappearing so fast, with only a couple people attacking my ally it seems like it doesn't get any benefit from the damage reductions. Is that right or am I just misjudging it? Same question for Lux, Morgana, Malphite, and other characters with damage shields.


title: What type of weapon should I use as an Unholy spec Death Knight?

text: I'm a first-time Death Knight and want to start playing with an Unholy spec, but I don't know what type of weapon I should use. Should I dual-wield two weapons, or use a single two-handed weapon for optimal DPS in PvP?


title: What Monsters Drop the Most Gil?

text: I'm looking for a way to earn gil fast, since the items used to level up monsters get very expensive towards the end. What are some areas that have random encounters where the monsters drop significant (or significantly more than others) amounts of gil?


title: Extracting Announcer Audio Files

text: I want to extract the announcer audio files (I don't know if this is legal or not). The closest solution I have found is a "(mini-Tutorial) How to listen to any sound file from LoL (incl. unreleased champions)" however it's a bit too old, that thread started on August 2009 when the game was in beta phase. Is there an alternative way of doing this besides that post? I really want to listen to the legendary _Penta kill_ sound.


title: How do you counteract spider webs?

text: They are sooo sticky. And gross. And seeming impossible to counteract. In Nightmare, the spiders drop down and cover both me and anything that I build in spiderwebs, causing extreme slowness and basically negating all of the hopes and dreams I had of defending the crystals. Is there any way to counteract them? Some sort of stat boost or armor that negates them? Or is it a necessary evil that I must figure out a way to avoid?


title: Why do most players not build Infinity Edge with Pantheon?

text: Since he gets a 100% crit chance for his AA and Q through the E passive. Why do most players not build Infinity Edge with him? (probuilds) this would increase the crit damage by 50%.


title: What do the letters for Job compatibility with different item types mean?

text: For example, knights have S compatibility with swords, A with spears, B with daggers, D with katanas, and E with knuckles. I understand from a flavor standpoint that this represents how skilled that class would be with each weapon, but what mechanical impact does this have? It doesn't prevent you from equipping weapons with low compatibility. My knight does significantly more damage right now with the katana I have on hand than the sword, though, despite the big difference in compatibility. What is the advantage of using more compatible equipment? Why bother paying attention to this?


title: How do I enable showing hotkeys in the game?

title: When is it a good idea to punch people?

text: As a Heavy, I have in my posession what is arguably the most powerful close- range weapon in the game. One that can shred through an enemy in fractions of a second. I am also in posession of the biggest 'guns' in the game, them being my massive fists of doom. Which seems redundant, given the large number of boolits I can shoot with my mighty mighty gun. So when is it a better idea to spend the time switching to my fists for a good punchfest, over holding out my minigun and preparing for a mowdown?

title: What's a good leveling strategy in Gun Bros?

text: I'm playing Gun Bros on both my Android phone and iPad and off course want to get to the most bad ass weapons as quickly as possible. So I'm wondering, what's the best strategy for leveling up quickly (and gain a lot of Xplodium in the process)? Should I focus on advancing through the highest levels or should I replay from the beginning in order to get more free/easy kills?

This is to play dead in Call Of Duty. I have already tried: So far i am only able to make macros which activate on button press, but they wont keep going when i hold the button. Is this possible to achieve? Or do i need another program.


title: In loot 2.0 do drop geared depend on our gear quality?

text: I have a well made wizard with 330k damage. Most drop gears would lower the DPS of course. However, not by much. I also have a demon hunter lvl 60 with a mere 25k DPS. It's amazing how most drop gears do not improve her attack. What's wrong? I suppose if drop gear does not depend on current gear, we would expect my demon hunter to get higher rate of "improving" gears. Her gears sucks. My wizard will have higher rate of worse gears because her gears are top end. That's not what I see. Levels are the same. 60 and now with shared paragon level. Difficulty is almost the same. Torment 1 vs Torment 3


title: Far Cry 3 Killing More Than Three Civilians and not Dieing from the Penalty

Is this a bug or just a slight glitch? Other info:The first time (When I killed more than 3) I used an RPG and killed 5 instantly.


title: How to start "In my time of need" having refused it earlier?

text: In the beginning of the game there were two Alik'r soldiers in Whiterun inquiring about a redguard woman (who is Saadia in the Bannered Mane), but I didn't pursue the mission. Today, after many days of playing a exploring, I wanted to play that mission but the soldiers were gone from Whiterun. However, I traced them to Rorikstead where there were interrogating another redguard woman who wasn't the one they were looking for. I walked up to them and they still stated that they were still "looking for a redguard woman". I rushed to the Bannered Mane to start the mission but Saadia doesn't wish to interact apart from answering "What's on the menu"? How do I suppose may I start this mission, did I miss something?

title: Is 2moons Expedition dead?

text: I used to play an mmorpg back in 2006-2007 called 2moons Expedition. Wanting to relive the past today, I googled it, but can't find the website for this nor the game client. The last time people posted about 2moons was back in 2008. Last I remember, the game was closed beta and there was going to be no reset/wipe when the real version was launched. What happened to this game? Is my account gone forever?

title: Single item that offers the most cooldown reduction

text: Which single item offers the highest amount of cooldown reduction?


title: How can I respec my badass rank bonus stats?

text: So the **bonus stats** you get for your **badass rank** is shared and accumulated amongst all your characters. So each character has their own level and stats while your **badass rank** is like _your_ level (as a player) and your the stats you gain are given to all your characters. This is great and I love the idea but I accidentally used up one of my **badass tokens** on a stat I didn't want. **Is it possible to respec my badass rank bonus points so I can use my badass tokens on abilities that I _do_ want? How can I do it?** Just to be clear, I don't necessarily want to be able to use all my tokens on one single stat, I just want to be refunded all my tokens so I can start building up my stats again. And that includes being limited to choosing 1 of 5 (random?) stats per token.

title: Odd mouse issue with TF2 on OSX

text: I recently fired up TF2 for the first time in a while and I noticed an odd issue. Quite often, I will need to click Mouse1 twice in order for my character to shoot. Also, at times I will notice the actual mouse cursor lagging slightly behind my crosshairs as well. I haven't played for a while and recently decided to get going again, and this issue...kinda ruins the experience for me on anything but a spray and pray run. Any ways to fix this? I'm not an OSX expert by any means, and this just kills the game for me.

Does whipping your oxen make them get injured more often/quickly?

title: How does crafting XP relate to actual XP?

text: This question deals with how much crafting experience you gain from crafting various items but how does the crafting experience translate into actual experience? I have noticed that levelling up crafting disciplines that you have previously put no effort into (and thus start at crafting level 1) still provides you a noticeable amount of experience even at later levels (50+) so it's obviously not a set amount of experience that you gain from crafting. Is the quantity of character experience gained directly related to the amount of crafting experience received, is the amount of character experience received exactly the same as crafting experience, or something else entirely?


title: What can I do with leftover commendations?

text: So I made it to Dromond Kass, and I took with me a handful of unused Planetary Commendations from Korriban. Is there any use for these (now outdated) commendations, or will I be lugging them around in my currency window for the rest of the game?


I'm using the starter rifle, and I have yet to take down a deer or buffalo while hunting. I've tried shooting in the center of the torso and in the head, but neither location kills the animal. Due to the reload speed of the starter rifle, one shot is all I can get off before the animal runs off the screen. I have a feeling I just need to wait until I can buy a better gun, but my question still stands: **Is there locational damage when hunting?**


title: What medals can be earned in Warzone?

title: Which hand will be used for which spell?

text: After investing a few thousand septims into spell books I am pretty much left stranded as I didn't know which spell is being used for which hand.

Is there a compiled list of all spells somewhere I can refer to?


title: Why did the Engineering Bay lose the ability to lift off in Starcraft 2?

text: The main production buildings for the Terrans did not change particularly much between StarCraft 1 and 2. Though they are obviously different games, StarCraft 2 is, after all, a sequel, and borrowed much from its "older" self. However, the Engineering Bay in the original StarCraft possessed the ability to lift off, and the Engineering Bay in StarCraft 2 does not, despite a distinct model similarity (the StarCraft 2 version maintains the landing-gear feet and everything!) So I'm wondering: Was the Engineering Bay ever able to lift off in the StarCraft 2 Beta? If yes, why was this removed? If no, why did they not carry this apparently harmless ability into the new game as well? Is there some fundamental gameplay balance issue that flying Engineering Bays created?


title: How does friendly fire work?

text: **Allies to player character**   Will I take friendly fire from allies, units summoned through a tear, or possessed enemies? If I will take friendly fire, what is the AI behavior when they are firing and I am in their line of sight? Do they stop firing when I am in their line of sight? Or should I try to avoid getting in their line of sight to avoid them shooting me? Is damage dealt to me by allies 100% of the normal damage or is it reduced? **Player character to allies** (including units summoned through a tear and possessed enemies)   I've noticed that possessed automatons will take reduced damage. How does this work? By how much are damage to possessed enemies or allies reduced? Will allies (not necessarily possessed enemies) take full damage from the player? Will Vigors still help deal bonus damage to allies? Question by @Alex: Will summoned/possessed enemies turn hostile if you shoot them? **Enemies to each other**   Can (non-possessed, but _allied_ ) enemies deal damage to each other? How does this work? Do the they deal full damage to each other? Do some enemies exhibit 'Doom-style' infighting behavior?

title: What are the differences between Minesweeper for Windows XP and for Windows 7?

text: My recent obsession with Minesweeper led me to open up the game at home (Windows 7). It's a lot different looking. Aside from the fun new sounds, what other differences are there? Has the mine- placement algorithm changed?


title: Advanced Minesweeper Strategies?

text: I've found myself with a whole lot of freetime at work. Unfortunately, our workstations are pretty locked-down and internet usage is monitored, so I'm stuck doing nothing. And by nothing, I mean minesweeper. I've got a pretty good rhythm going for clearing the minefield, but I'm having a really hard time improving my time. Should I be taking more educated guesses? How can I prevent "mine freeze" (i.e., where you just lock up and can't figure out where to click)? Any other tips you've found helpful?


title: At what point is it too late to build Rod of Ages?

text: I play a lot of AP champs, and most of them scale well with RoA. But sometimes I get so bossed in lane either by a camping jungler or because I just get straight out played. Sometimes it gets to like 20 minuets and I still haven't completed it. So I'm wondering what is the average point in the game where RoA is no longer worth completing?


title: What are these silvery pumpkins?

text: When reading this question, I noticed something on the screenshot of the accepted answer that I never saw in my own game despite collecting 100% plants: **silver-colored pumpkins**. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/D0bS1.png) What are they and where do I get them?


title: Can i ever get the final Shard in the Walse Tower?

text: When the Water Crystal Shatters one of the shards ends up on a ledge, i've learned hidden passages and have it set but i can't find any way of reaching it. I am wondering if later in the game i can somehow get it or weather it's not possible to obtain it


title: Cannot Connect to Minecraft.net AND Bad Login? What do I do?

text: I bought Minecraft the day before yesterday and we were having problems then too. I figured those out so my new problem is that I try to log in to Minecraft and it always says without hesitation "Cannot connect to minecraft.net" and only gives me the option to try again. I waited a whole day then tried again and it still won't work. It's really annoying that I spent 30 dollars on a game that won't let me play it, so I downloaded the cracked version again and I can only play a cracked server now. I have my skin and everything but I can't play actual servers. When I do try to direct connect to an actual server (non-cracked) can someone tell me something I can do? Should I just wait it out? I'm really confused and desperate to play with my friends.


title: I can't get anything after mining Diamonds in Minecraft

text: I have found a HUGE diamond, gold, and redstone cave and every time I mine each one it just destroys it with nothing in return. I am using my Iron Pickaxe, play on the lowest difficulty, and just recently bought the game. This is very confusing and fustrating for me. Is this a glitch in the game or am I doing something wrong?


title: How to use mods and HD textures at the same time?

text: I'm using first MCPatcher-2.0.0-beta3 to make HD texture packs work (and it complains if I apply mods first), but as soon as I use TFC's Mod Manager 1.3 beta to install a mod (Risugami's ModLoader), the game doesn't get farther than the checking update screen. I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit. Any chances to make this work?

title: What causes skulls to be dropped by enemies?

text: I've noticed that enemies will occasionally drop skulls. I've mostly seen it after doing a particularly large combo. If combos are causing the drops, level combo do you need to cause a skull to drop? If they aren't causing the drops, what causes skulls to be dropped by enemies?


title: Leveling skills in Elder Scrolls Online

text: What exactly is the point of leveling a skill? I sure do get that you can unlock new Skills and perks but does It do something else? Will you gain more Armor/Damage if you have a Higher rank in a certain skill in ESO or is it solely for the sake of unlocking new stuff. Also if you Level up an Active Ability, will this ability get stronger or is it also just for upgrading an ability. If it's only for upgrading, then why can I further level the upgraded skill (I've noticed that you can upgrade an Ability only once. Another thing I'd like to know is: What is the max level of an Ability/Skill?

title: How to avoid killing my best buddy?

text: My first and very bestest buddy Josip is, well... _a few bullets short of a full clip_. His crazy, hare-brained schemes have gotten us both in a spot of bother quite a few times. For example, his definition of 'ambush' seems to be: > Stand in the middle of the road and shoot a shotgun at an oncoming jeep, > fitted with a .50 Cal machine gun and a trigger happy Australian/South > African manning it. (The accent sounds Australian anyway. Well, American- > Australian) Needless to say he's been downed quite a few times, and I've had to revive him. A couple of times he didn't make it, and I had to reload and try again (I like to keep my buddies if I can). But this latest one, no matter how many times I reload I can't revive him. _(I reload to a save before he even gets downed I might add, but it seems almost impossible for him NOT to be downed by the time I get to him)_ Which leads me to believe there is an upper-limit on the amount of times you can revive a buddy. Or at the very least a lower and lower chance of a successful revive each time you perform a revive (limit→ 0). Is this the case? or have I just had a really bad run with revives lately?


title: If I die in another dimension, will the 5-minute clock start while I am in the overworld?

text: I was recently hit by a fireball and knocked off the edge of my platform in the nether. I landed on an island, and died; my items are still there. If I stay in the overworld for longer than five minutes, will my items disappear? Similarly, will this happen in The End?


title: How can I survive wave 10 on Elite Meet in Crete?

text: I have found this part frustrating to no end. I have been trying to get past wave 10 on Elite Meet in Crete, but it becomes hard to perform great strategy past wave 10. Anyone know how I can get past this wave? Edit: I have found that tower defense at the gates gets me to wave 10. I have a problem now figuring out how to defeat the siege at wave 10 and on.


title: Will I be able to unlock Panna City Medicines now that the decoration special is finished?

text: I experienced the reset bug several times and my decorated levels were stripped (including when I had about 29 levels done ..so close!!!) so I was unable to unlock panna city meds. Does anyone know if it will be possible to unlock this level some other way? I have special boba fett, but no level to match him with :,(


title: What are some good general strategies to get past the moon levels in Revenge of the Titans?

text: I can't get further than the moon levels in _Revenge of the Titans_. I don't seem to be able to end each game with enough money to purchase more than the basic weapons and upgrades. Does anybody have any good general strategies for this game?


title: How can I find the location of a given item by looking at the world data?

text: Is there a way to search through world data to find instances of a given type of item (e.g., gold horse armor) and/or to find an item with a particular name? My goal is to find the item's location within the in-game world, ideally with an X/Y/Z coordinate. My specific application is locating stolen items, but I can imagine other uses for such a search, for example, locating mob spawners. Hopefully there's already a utility or technique available to help with this. But if not, some documentation on the structure of world data might do the trick, as I'm a programmer and could probably write the search myself.

title: Not able to get XP on LAN game

text: I have been playing on a LAN with my brother lately and it all worked fine for a while then I couldn't collect XP any more. By that I mean I can pick up the XP orbs and they make a sound and that's it, my XP bar does not go up.   1. We are both on 1.7.5 with Optifine   2. It worked for a while   3. We are playing on offline mode   4. We do have different accounts (Bought)   5. My brother's hosting and his XP works   6. Even using /xp doesn't work (E.g /xp 15L not working)   7. I have tried going on default resource pack, it's not the resource pack   8. Nothing works (E.g /xp, Killing Mobs, Mining.)   9. Problems that may be related: I can't open a chest after a while, Can't use item frames after a while, Can't see named mobs after a while, Can't use dogs after a while (This all happens after about 10 minutes of gameplay but not with XP)


title: Beat Ornstein and Smough in NG+

text: I would like some advice on how I can beat Ornstein and Smough in NG+. I didn't intend to finish NG+ so I didn't prepare myself before killing Gwyn (Just pyromancy flame +5 with Fireball e.g.). I have Great Scythe +14, Uchigatana +15, Claymore Fire +9. I did not receive the large ember yet. I tried killing smough first and I tried with and without Solaire (kind of useless, just speeds up the first half of the fight). Any tips? Should I leave Anor Londo and make Queelags Furysword? Should I level my Pyromancy Flame and get some better Pyromancys (I did not go to Queelana after the Chaos of Bed to receive the gift)? Vit 45, Dex 45, Str 16, End 35 Thanks in advance!

title: How do I get two Miis to be friends instantly?

text: How can I get 2 Miis to instantly be friends, no matter what the percentage is in the Compatibility Tester, because if I add too many Miis, nobody normally talks to each other. It feels like 5 days before anything happens. But if I only have a few, Miis are always asking to be friends.


title: Where can I store my items?

text: I'm only starting _Divinity: Original Sin_. And I don't know yet if some items will be useful or not. So I'm currently keeping everything (mostly ingredients), but it takes place. So where can I safely store my items? I read that I'll get a "living quarters" during the main quest, which is said to be a safe place. I'm not there yet, so is there any other place I can use meanwhile?


title: What does this sideways-thermometer-looking bar mean?

text: I've been mining a lot of cobblestone because I don't know how else to look for iron. In the meanwhile, this bar has appeared on my screen, and has been steadily depleting. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0boxZ.png) What does this bar represent? What happens when it gets empty?


title: Is there no market feedback?

text: I posted some energy/crown trade offers in the markets a few days ago, and now they just disappeared without any feedback. I've read on the wiki that the offer expires in 10 days, and I've posted it just a few days ago, definitely less than 10. So, is it normal to receive no feedback at all about the offer, or is there a bug somewhere and I might have actually lost the crowns or energy?


title: Are there any upgrades availiable for the Normandy to help me evade Reapers while gathering resources?

text: So, the Normandy is pretty cool. Her scanners have been upgraded, and I can check a few planets at once now to see if they have a shiny rock I might be interested in. Unfortunately, those scanners attract unwelcome attention. I don't like Reapers, and running away from them in between scanning planets is tedious - _especially_ when I have to go running in search of a fuel depot every third system I visit. In Mass Effect 2, I could upgrade the Normandy's scanners and fuel tanks, to make scanning more efficient and to allow for fewer trips to a fuel depot in between systems. Are there any upgrades availiable that will improve the Normandy's speed (to run away more better), range (either through higher fuel capacity or more fuel efficiency, to visit more systems before needing to find a relay/fuel), or scanning efficiency/range (In order to send out fewer pings and alert fewer annoying Reapers)?


title: Where did my assault rifle go?

text: On the moon of Pavalon, I picked up some sort of Reaper-esque weapon that had only 1 shot during the mission's final fight. Not wanting to use the shot immediately, I swapped weapons (PC version, using scroll wheel) to my pistol. However, when I halted the game to change weapons, I could not select my assault rifle (which I had equipped when I picked up this weapon) nor could I find this special Reaper-type weapon. Finishing the mission seemed to have given me my rifle back, but obviously I lost the shot of this gun and the use of my rifle (I'm a Soldier so imagine the fun I had trying to kill Brutes with a Pistol and Sniper rifle) Any idea what happened here and is there a way for me to regain my gun or am I stuck like this until I reload/finish the mission?


title: Does it make sense to upgrade the early weapons?

text: On the Normandy you have the option to upgrade your weapons, e.g. your M-15 Vindicator I to the M-15 Vindicator II or higher. I'm wondering if it makes sense to already upgrade my early weapons to a high level, the upgrades seem to be reasonably affordable at this early stage. But I don't know if I will be still running around with the same weapons as now in the near future, or if I will have found some far better ones quickly. In ME1 you found better weapons pretty often (until you got the high-level Spectre gear), while in ME2 most weapons were just different, and not necessarily superior in every regard. So, are the later weapons far superior to the early ones, or mostly just different?


title: Blue screen of death while playing PES 2012?

text: While playing PES 2012 suddenly after a goal all players turned black I paused the game after a minute or something the game started repeating the same par of sound then it showed a BSOD (blue screen of death). My PC specs :               CPU                : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz     GPU                : Nvidia GeForce 7300 GS     GPU Driver version : 301.42     Ram                : 2 X 1GB     OS                 : Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (build 2600)     Sound Card         : Realtek High Definition Audio      The BSOD : ![BSOD](http://i.stack.imgur.com/dtMpr.jpg) * * * I've already searched for the error code , they tell me to turn off hardware acceleration but after I turn it off and restart every thing goes worse (Display driver not working, all games say that I have a 16MB video card) So I enabled hardware acceleration again and now it's working just as it was. I have also been advised to disable write combining (I don't know what is this) but it doesn't do anything.


title: What are the exact requirements to complete the "Remorse" achievement?

text: I was wondering how to complete this challenge, and I saw from ChrisHateZ answer to a similar question that you need to: > "...transport this postcard over your whole journey in the cave to return it > right at the end. Since this method is obviously tedious, I'm wondering if it would not also be possible to: > Leave the postcard on the ground somewhere in the lobby, then return it to > the rack right at the end of the game. Does my proposed alternative method work? Essentially the question boils down to whether the achievement is tied to the final object interaction, or whether it is tied to a process of steps that have to be taken in a specific order. I'm also interested if the steps for the "Shoplifting" achievement must be completed on the same run as the "Remorse" achievement. Given the very long period of time it takes to get this achievement, it would be very helpful to me if someone could confirm the exact requirements before I attempt it.

text: I was wondering if anyone else has had bad problems with Team Fortress 2 running on a mac (not bootcamp or anything like that) for example here are some of the problems I've been having:   * When doing anything server related (joining, refreshing lists) my internet doesn't work (only TF2 can connect to the internet)   * Won't connect to _most_ severs (requires about 2-3 attempts to connect)   * Takes about 2 - 5 minutes to connect to a server (and freezes my mac - well the beach ball starts spinning) Anyone else having similar problems?


title: Getting Max Payne sounds to work on Windows 7

text: Trying to run Max Payne (the original game from 2001) on Windows 7 64-bit, there is a serious problem with the game sounds - no music, many effects missing, stuttering, slowdowns etc. Looking online I was able to find this guide for fixing it on Windows Vista (which probably applies to 7 as well), but I can no longer find some of the files mentioned - specifically, I could not find the `rasmaker.exe`. I'm using Max Payne installed via Steam. Does anyone know of a more modern guide or fix, or alternatively can point me to where I can find the relevant file(s)?

title: Is there any way to extract voice chat audio from TF2/Source demo recordings?

text: I have a bunch of demos recorded in TF2 from before the Hatless update. Any attempt to open the files in TF2 for playback causes it to toss up a few resource loading errors that I'm assuming are the result of changes in the update, and the demo never loads. Really all I want from these files is the voice chat audio, the action on screen wasn't important. Is there any tool available that can extract that information independent from TF2 itself? On a similar note, for files that I can open, is there a way to make TF2 output **just** the audio track when recording playback using the `startmovie` command? I don't need the vast gigabytes of tga files.

In Minecraft, I settled next to a pretty mountain range, planted tress, gave plenty of light and I even have a little wheat garden.

title: What are some of the details on taming wild pets?

text: I know wild pets will exist in Mists of Pandaria and that they must be at 35% of their health or lower before the option to capture them is unlocked, but I ended up with a few questions based off my years of taming pets as a Hunter. Is it possible to accidentally kill a wild pet while trying to tame them? Can you use all three pets on your team to defeat a wild pet or is it just one on one? Once captured, do they level up to an appropriate level for your pet battling, or do you need to level each up individually?


title: How to fly other ships

text: I started as a humble merchant. I have both ships and I have figured out how to make some good cash. I am wondering if there is a way to fly the scout ship discoverer? I can't seem to get a google hit on this question but I see others saying that they set up the mercury to auto-trade and fly the discoverer ship but I can't figure out how to fly the other ship.


title: What are Coins For?

text: I've noticed that whenever I pick up a weapon in Cardinal Quest, the game compares it to my current one and if one of them is better, the lower quality one is 'sold'. When this happens, I get a coin. ![The Character Status bar contains a value for 'coins'.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Hmmnv.png) What can I do with these coins? As far as I know, there's no in-game shop. Can you actually use them for anything?


title: How to watch Replays with double click after copying the install folder to new computer?

text: I copied my Starcraft 2 install directory to a new computer, so I don't have to download all the patches again. Everything works fine, except when I double click on a Replay it does not open Starcraft 2. I tried messing with the registry exporting some of entries from my main computer, but it does not work. This problem has nothing to do with this question: playing sc2 replays with double click as it is solved, but it does not work for me. I copied a recent replay from my replays folder into C:\Temp. I closed Starcraft 2. I doubleclicked the replay and got stuck in the Starcraft 2 main screen after logging in (where you select the game mode). This works on my main computer though and the replay starts as expected. I even tried to open the replay in my console with the following command but it does not work either.               "C:\Games\StarCraft II\StarCraft II.exe" "C:\Temp\Discord IV (279).SC2Replay"


title: Evasive Fire vs Primary Ability

text: If I start running low on hatred would there ever be a time where I would chose **not** to use Evasive fire (recovers 4 energy when used as opposed to 3 of the primary ability) assuming I have enough discipline and no enemies in range? As a side question, how far does Evasive fire reach? Can I stay far enough away so that it doesn't trigger the backflip and still do damage while regenerating my hatred?


title: Making Skill Choices

text: Just started playing Diablo 3 and can't seem to google this question effectively. It looks to me like you automatically gain skills as you level, and at any time you can change the choices you made, as you are just setting which one you are currently using, NOT which ones you want to learn. I have not leveled enough to be sure that this is how it works. So is this correct? Or are there choices you make when you level (skills/runes/passives) that you can't go back and reconfigure later?


title: How do I place flowing water above 2x2 water shaft in Minecraft?

text: I have a 2x2 vertical water shaft I used for transporting hostile mobs. At the top of the shaft I want the water to flow horizontally so the mobs are transported into my mob harvester. Placing water blocks directly above the shaft causes the water to flow down. How do I place water in a way the will horizontally push the hostile mobs off the top of the shaft?


title: Why can't I push the crate to open the chest on the southeast corner of tikarel island?

text: I'm at 93% completion for the game, but the chest on the southeast corner of tikarel island alludes me. All the posts I read online indicate I should be able to push the crate off the cliff and then jump down but I can't seem to be able to push it. Is it possible that I've progressed too far in the game to get this chest and so they've disabled the ability to push the crate? Does anyone else have any ideas? Thanks ahead of time!


title: Why do some people play inverted?

text: I'm curious why some people, like me, play inverted. Is there any correlation between classic gamers playing with _real_ joysticks and playing inverted now or any other sort of correlations? I'm looking for any sort of reasoning behind it and why my brain acts in reverse of "normal". I've tried to play normal for long periods of time in 2 player because I felt like a dick having to pause it before every match to change the option and I just can't do it. I figure there's a scientific reason.

text: I started a game of CK2 a while ago, with all DLC enabled, I got my nice little Scandinavian Empire spilling a bit in Russia and England, the reformed Norse religion is strong and the Empire of Francia is the only power that really stand in my way. Now, I said I started this game with all DLC enabled. This means that, sooner or later, the Aztecs will come knock on our doors to wipe us out. This is obviously not good for the empire. What I would like is to know if I can disable the future invasion in a game that was already started. I suppose I would need to edit the save file, in fact, I already looked into it, but there is no obvious `b_aztec_invading = 1` or anything like this.

The second is a specific person's item. Is there a way I can view item details without needing an owner?


title: What is Ultra Strike and how can we get it?

text: I heard there is a new weapon called Ultra Strike which is supposedly exclusive to Motorola phones, which will come with Ingress pre-installed.   * How does the weapon work, in comparison to existing ones (XMP, virii)?   * Is it only exclusive to the hardware with pre-installed Ingress, or all Motorola devices?   * Are there ways for other devices to activate hacking it from portals (app to spoof phone type to Ingress? custom Ingress apk? )


title: How does re-playing finished quests work?

text: If someone who has already beat certain questlines joins your game and you're behind them can they help you finish those quests? Is it still like Diablo 2 that the quests are based on the creator of the game? I feel like I had read that there will be a level limit so that people can't get rushed through the game.

title: Can I safely sell all items marked as treasure in Recettear?

text: In Recettear, I've recently found a Very Odd Vase. It sells for around 22 000 gold. This is a great and highly welcomed surprise to me at this early point in the game. However, I find myself being cautious even now as an old man asks me to sell him a treasure item because I don't want to give away my Very Old Vase, in case it ends up being useful later on. Am I being overly cautious, and is this the same situation as Chantelise, where all treasure can be safely sold? Or is there any reason for me to hold on to it?

title: How do I classify my Shadowstep Rogue lvl 40's damage?

text: I have a level 40 human Shadowstep rogue. For a long time I've been wondering if he does good damage. In the quests that I do (appropriate to my level) I have no problem at all defeating my enemies. Dueling against 5 level higher people isn't a problem either, because Shadowstep and ambush take them out quickly. I have 1 sword (27.5dps) and a mace (29dps) equipped. One of them does additional damage because it's in the main hand, which brings me to about 100dps with both weapons. In dungeons I can take out various 4-5k elites by myself, and my shadowstep/ambush (or garotte) combination usually does 700-900+ damage, followed by some 200-400 criticals because of the -70% armor. Dmg/hit is around 180-200. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing a lot less damage than other players, like warrior-tanks or shapeshifted druids. Am I doing a small, medium or high amount of damage for my level and class?

title: How to stop winter? (Or, how to change a single biome in Minecraft / bukkit)

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Can I alter the biome of an area? After, copying my vanilla world to bukkit, the biome seems to have changed from tundra to snow (while the terrain is the same as I noticed by creating a new world with same seed). This means that there is a straight border between the tundra part of the world that I previously explored, and the snow land that bukkit generates now. It also causes WorldGuard to let my lake freeze since it is in a snow biome now. Long story short: Is there any way to change the local biome back into tundra?


title: Is the World 4 version of Hunt impossible without doing something else first?

text: I'm stuck on the World 4 version of Hunt. I don't want a walkthrough; I don't even want a hint. ( _Please_ don't offer a hint.) I just want to know whether it's impossible without doing something else first to alter the puzzle, because it sure looks impossible to me: ~~as far as I can tell, the rightmost guy will always be alive when you get to the gate.~~ Just kidding; I got it.


title: Is there a known table or calculation of the ranking system?

text: With Counter-Strike: Global Offensive a build-in matchmaking system has been introduced. From now on you can have a rank that displays your skill level. The more matches you win, the better your ranking will be. If you lose, you will lose some levels of your rank. But there are exceptions: It is als possible that you are ranked-down if you win a match but your score has been aweful. So how do they calculate the rank? On the interwebs and ingame you can get several answers:   * If you win three matches in a row, you rank up and vice-versa.   * At the end of the match your score if being compared to the average of your team and the enemies' one.   * Those gold stars you may get at the end of a round do or do not have an impact on that ranking. I also heard that you can get ranked down after being vote-kicked from a server. So what of these are true; or is it something completely different? **How does CS:GO calculate your rank after one match?** And how does a vote-kick influence this?


title: Do turns carry over from previous encounters with fleeing Legendary Pokémon?

I left the wild Thundurus with 1 hp and asleep, but I don't know if it counts as one turn on the new encounters or if my previous turns carry over. I am using both types of Poké Balls at the moment, and it does not look like any are good. >.<

Other than that, are there any other effective strategies to winning a game where you are at a massive disadvantage?

title: How are "premade" lobbies matched against opponents?

text: I am lead to believe that the matchmaking system in League of Legends matches you against opponents based on summoner level. However, in the case where you have a pre-game lobby with players of different summoner levels, how is your lobby matched again opponents? Is it based on _highest_ summoner level, _lowest_ , _average_?


title: How to Efficiently Farm Top / Mid Lane?

text: I noticed that I often have less farm than my lane opponent. At around 20 minutes, I'll have 80-100 CS. My problem is not last hitting; I am familiar with the concept and I think I actually do it well. Although that seems to be exactly my problem: when I strictly last hit, my lane gets pushed by the enemy (because he/she tends to kill more). Sooner or later my tower will steal some CS. Are there any guides / concepts about how to farm efficiently in top/mid lane?


title: Entangling Shot - Shock collar

text: There is another question on the viability of entangling shot. However, this question is about the shock collar rune. Everyone says that even with the increase in damage, it cannot compare to other DH attacks. However, I noted that the shock damage increases based on lvl: mine is already 28% for 2 secs (i.e. 56%). This increases the damage of Entangling shot to 131% and a max. of 195% at lvl 60. So my question is, do you know how the shock collar damage increases? Has been this change included in the last patch (I haven't heard of this increase in the D3 forums)? Do you think that this damage make ES-SC a viable attack, considering the slow effect (anc CotW passive)?

title: How do I get the petroleum truck out of the way?

text: I have a distinct MacGayver feeling about this section of Chapter 3. Train's stopped by a petrol truck hanging in the air. I've got some sort of wrench from the train and some sellotape, plus a bunch of people who doesn't seem to be offering much in ways of hints. I _think_ I've explored all action dots in the scenario and now I'm coming up empty. There's an empty generator conveniently placed right to the petrol tanks, but once you inspect it once you can't interact with it any further. You can inspect the hitch of the truck, but none of the tools I have will do anything to it. That's about it. What can I do?

title: How can I counter alien grenades?

text: In _X-Com: UFO Defense / UFO: Enemy Unknown_ (1994), I regularly lose half my squad to an alien grenade on round 1. The timer is set to zero so I can't flee, and aliens have thrown a grenade even after I put a smoke grenade at the bottom of the Skyranger's ramp. I'm also concerned that they might throw a grenade from around a corner, which denies me reaction fire because I have no line of sight. How do you prevent casualties from alien grenades? Is there a tactic that will prevent aliens from throwing grenades, or another way to prevent grenade casualties?

title: What are the benefits of manning a subsystem?

text: In FTL, you can place crew members in various subsystems to gain bonuses. However, I don't know how to actually quantify those bonuses. The two that are least clear to me are:   * Manning shields increases shield recharge speed.   * Manning weapons increases weapon recharge speed. While I understand the general effect, I'm not sure how much of an actual increase I'm actually getting from these. Also, in FTL: Advanced Edition, it looks like you can man the sensors and doors. Finally, does manning it with multiple crew members give a larger bonus?


title: How do my abilities level on the command board?

text: In Birth By Sleep, at the end of each game on the Command Board Minigame, the abilities I've used gain experience. I've seen a number of places that say things to the effect of: > Playing your abilities on the board will earn you experience. And even so far as: > You will draw cards not maxed out first. Always And > If your opponent buys your space, that command will not gain experience. But what actions will actually give me experience? Do I just need to play my card? Do I need to level it (the tile on the board, I mean)? Will I earn more experience if my opponents land on it? What actual event(s) trigger my gaining of experience and what factors dictate how much?


title: What lessons (and mini-lessons) are available in Art Academy: Second Semester?

text: I currently own _Art Academy: First Semester_ for the Nintendo DSi. As a hobby artist with a tenuous grasp of the basics of blocking, light, shadow, shading, and detail, the title did me a world of good -- so much so that I'm interested in picking up _Second Semester_. However, according to reviews, the second title is a near carbon copy of the first game with significantly curtailed content, making me reluctant to pick it up without knowing exactly which lessons and concepts are covered. Because this is a self-graded title based on the player's own internal critique, walkthroughs in the traditional sense don't seem to exist from my cursory searches through Google. So, a simple question: _what lessons and artistic concepts does_ Art Academy: Second Semester _cover? Additionally, what subjects are covered in this title's "mini-lessons" for further study?_ * * * _(Note that answers pertaining to the box release of_ Art Academy _also apply, since this version is a straight compilation of both semestersat a higher MSRP, with the addition of 80 "motifs" to use as reference material._ _Since there's no chance I'll purchase this version of the game, though, a bonus question for the comments: what do they mean by "motifs," exactly?)_

text: I've levelled up my mechanics in both of my groups in Grand Prix Story to level 5. I've levelled up the Dragster and it's follow-ons to get to the Mach car. Sadly, when I try to build one, my groups complain that "it won't be perfect" and, as predicted, it generally isn't. Currently, my groups make much better Aero cars. Their efforts at making Mach cars indicate stats that are usually lower than the expected levels by double digits. Should I be selecting different mechanics? Or do I have the wrong drivers? Do I have to optimize my groups to this level in order to make a masterpiece car?

title: Where can I find the Hub mission in X3: Albion Prelude?

text: I'm looking for the Xenon Hub in X3: Albion Prelude. In what sector should I expect to find the Hub? Is there a mission that I should complete first? Where would I find it? Is there a minimum ship class that I would need first?

title: What are the pros and cons of Saving and Sacrificing

text: PS Vita's Soul Sacrifice gives us a choice of Sacrificing or Saving a foe (and allies also). Searching for the 'best' approach I found some controversial ideas of what is good or bad. **So what are the pros and cons of Saving and Sacrificing?** _Not thinking about what you think it's best, just list all facts._ For example, I know:   * Saving gives more Life and Defense;   * Sacrificing gives more Magic (which I don't know what affects) and Attack. But what else does each option give to/take from the player? Please list all.


title: Can you choose who you disguise as when disguising as a class with more than 2 players?

text: In TF2, when I'm trying to sneak up on an enemy's sentry nest, my favorite thing to do is disguise myself as a friendly engineer, so that they expect me to help them fix the place up, before breaking out the sappers and stabbers. This doesn't go over so well when I show up as the engineer guarding the nest. Assuming I know which engineer it is though, is there a way for me to change which name I use in my disguise, so that I can approach him without danger?


title: Why does cloak sometimes fail?

text: While playing Mass Effect 3 multiplayer as an infiltrator, about 30% of the time that I use Tactical Cloak it turns itself off within a second, triggering the cooldown again. Is this a bug that other people have experienced? Is there a way to keep it from happening? Edit: I should mention that I've run into the problem while using both Geth and Salarian Infiltrators. I use this build with a Geth Pulse Shotgun in case that helps. I realize that starting to charge the shotgun breaks cloak, but I am not doing this.


title: How are the "featured" matches to spectate chosen?

text: With the new Spectator Patch for _League of Legends_ , spectating normal and ranked games is now possible. You can either watch a game your friends are in or there are also 5 "featured" games going on at the home screen. Are these just random ranked games? Those at the top of the ladder? If the former, is there a way to watch the high level "masters" games?


title: Why buy a Ninja Tabi?

text: Seeing a bunch of high elo games with the new spectator mode (games include hotshotgg, chu8 etc..), I have seen more people are using the Ninja Tabi boots over Mercury Treads. Tanks, bruisers etc.. are not even picking Tenacity items, is this a common meta on such elo nowadays? Isnt tenacity a must have item on all Elos?


title: What bonuses do you receive for being elevated?

text: Reading through the Sniper skill tree, I saw the following: > **Damn Good Ground** : Confers +10 Aim and +10 Defense against enemies at > lower elevation, in addition to the usual elevation bonuses. What are the default bonuses you receive for being elevated? Is it just Aim normally, or does it give a Defense bonus too? Does it just matter if you _are_ elevated relative to your target, or does the _amount_ of elevation matter?


title: Steam voice chat is not working

text: My friend has been with me and my other friends on Steam for a while. We would always hang out and talk with each other. But one day, his Steam group chat and VC stopped working. We went through the normal troubleshooting, but to no avail. He can enter the group chat, but it never registers as being "active". In his own words "I can enter the group chat, but when I try to use the voice chat, nothing happens." He tried another Mic on the same computer, and it did not work with Steam. He used the same Mic on Skype, and it works perfectly fine. He used the same Mic on a different computer , and it worked properly. Recently, he did a factory default on his computer, and re-installed Steam. this did not fix the problem.


title: How does Call of Duty multiplayer matchmaking work?

text: How does the matchmaking system work in Call of Duty games?   1. Is it completely random with no accounting for player rank?   2. Is it based on player rank?   3. Is it based on a skill ranking of some kind such as kills to deaths ratio or most recent individual ranking in previous matches? It appears from playing that it is #1 and just random, but I find it a strange way to do it as surely there are enough players to perform a fairer ranking process. A player of any skill can get to level 70 eventually.


title: What is the maximum wanted level in Assassin's Creed 4?

text: I've been playing Assassin's Creed 4 : Black Flag for a while now and the thought just hit me, what is the highest wanted level on the game? I'm aware that when you raid a ship your wanted level goes up if you choose not to lower it, but I was just wondering what the max level is, and what kind of hunters are chasing you by that point.


title: What are the effects of Burrow in Starcraft: Brood War?

text: I cant find anything in the guide book or in game. Can someone explain what exactly Burrow does?


title: Is the Typhoon supposed to kill robots on hard difficulty?

text: I'm playing Deus Ex Human Revolution on the Give Me Deus Ex difficulty. The description of Typhoon's level two upgrade is: `Deals enough damage to kill any enemy, including all robot types.` I'm using it now for the first time in the hanger bay in Hengsha where there are two heavy robots. I run right up to the robot's face, and then activate it, and then the robot is not apparently damaged in any way. I literally can't even tell if it's damaging them. Is the description inaccurate, or am I encountering a bug? I've tried this like 5 times now, and I've confirmed that I have the Typhoon system fully upgraded.
