title: What am I supposed to do with all these fish?

text: In _Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons_ , you eventually come to a chapter where there is a waterfall leading into a pool full of fish. I'm stuck with what to do next. Moving the brothers around in the pool, they can sort of corral the fish, but they eventually just swim away. The action buttons (triggers) don't do anything specific with the fish either, the brothers just splash in the water as they do in other water areas. Am I missing something to do with the fish, or is there something else I need to do to continue on with the level?


title: How can I get the potion in "Having", level 69 of Spelling Jungle?

text: I'm trying to get the red "L" potion on the far right of the screen, and failing. How can I get it? ![screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hOWCm.png) For those who haven't played this game, the mud makes you slide -- whatever direction you start moving in, you continue in until you hit a rock/water/grass/etc. To get the potion I would need to feed the apple to the hippo and ride it over there, but I can't get the apple. Sliding towards the apple from the space immediately to the right of it makes me fall into the pit. Sliding towards it from further to the right doesn't work since the wind spirit blows you downwards, and I think I'd just slide into the pit again otherwise anyways.


title: How to beat Sky O’ Love Challenge Mission?

It was really difficult let the lovers meet. Do you have any suggestions to speed up the things? I am not sure I can tolerate all this hearts and rainbows for more than 1 straight hour...


title: Why is my PSVita not charging through the USB port on my PC?

text: I want to charge my Vita via my PC's USB port. When I connect it, it hooks up to the PC and I can transfer items back and forth, but it does not charge. I looked around and saw a few posts saying that you have to enable it in the options, which I did but still it doesn't work. My USB 2.0/3.0 ports work for charging since I also charge other things, such as my iPod, iPhone, etc. Is anyone else having problems charging the Vita from a PC?

title: How does "Flush" work in XCOM?

text: I'm having trouble understanding when the Assault ability "Flush" works and when it doesn't. From the XCOM wikia page: > Fire a shot that causes enemies to run out of cover. The shot is easy to hit > with, but does reduced damage. That page goes on to say that Flush adds +30 to Aim, halves the damage, and that even on a miss it can force a target to move. But I've tried it several times, and the Muton at the business end hasn't budged. Are there certain enemies this doesn't work against? Are they protected from moving if they're in full cover, or they have cover from two directions?

Everytime he tries to download the game Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 on ANY of his devices he encounters the same error: It says he needs IoS 3.

title: Can I cheat on my ME1 sweetheart in ME2 and keep our romance going in ME3?

text: I'm playing through ME2 with FemShep carried from ME1 where I romanced Liara. As I understand there are three romance candidates for each gender in ME2 which will unlock the Paramour Achievement and have negative impact on your lover in ME3. There are also three "flirt interests" which do not unlock said achievement and will not be considered an act of adultery, if I'm correct. In short, what I'm wondering - can I go "all in" with Kelly Chambers, Samara or Morinth and still keep my "real" love in ME3?

title: Is it possible to run the game windowed at 1920x1080?

text: Why would one want to do this since one may as well just run the game full screen? Well, I will tell one why one would want to do this. I have to turn vsync on to eliminate jagged-edge artifacts that occur while panning from side to side. One of the downsides to doing this is a slight degree of mouse lag that, for me, renders the game almost unplayable. While playing Portal 2 a few weeks back, I learned that running the game windowed at 1920x1080 actually eliminated the mouse lag introduced by vsync. Not only that, you couldn't even tell it was running in windowed mode. I tested running Duke Nukem in windowed mode and, much to my delight, the mouse lag issue went away. However, Duke Nukem's max resolution while windowed is something like 1600x900 (if that's wrong, I'll edit this as soon as I get back from my next playing session). If I could get this to run in a 1920x1080 window, I'd be one happy Duker. I found system.ini and located the spot where it contains the window size and resolution, but it's all funky. In Notepad, there are spaces in between all the characters in the file. In Notepad2, there's a NUL. Editing this file in either text editor appears to corrupt it. Any ideas how to get around this?

title: How do I reach 1M coins?

I know playing the game in coop yields more coins, but unfortunately I'm the only one I know who owns a 3DS and lives in my vicinity. So how can I reach the 1M coin target? Do I repeat endlessly the rainbow levels? Is there some sort of glitch? Or am I missing some special game mode which yields unusual amount of coins?


title: Minecraft constant internet usage

text: I recently started a minecraft server (locally, my server sits next to my desktop on my local network) and today I noticed that my 200 gb monthly limit is nearing, which is an 800% increase in internet usage. I go to my ISP webpage, and the hourly breakdown and I can clearly see the hours that I was playing minecraft as the hours when downloads/uploads were occuring. Does minecraft really use bandwidth unnecessarily while simply being logged in or playing? (I say unnessasarily because me and my server are both on the same network, there is no external server and no need to go outside my network). Is there any simply solution that I can employ with my router, short of logging in to minecraft and then unplugging the router from the phone line?

title: Why does my temple only give one content citizen instead of two?

text: I have a size 4 city on Diety level. I'm early in my empire (obviously, my capital is only size 4) so I do not have very many cities. A city this size at this stage should have one content citizen, and the rest unhappy. If I look at my 'happy tab', I confirm this is the default state. However, it shows that my temple makes one of them content, and my warrior makes another content via martial law (I'm a Monarchy). This leaves me with one unhappy citizen, which without any happy citizens **puts my capital into civil disorder!**. Yikes! Upon reading the text of a temple, it states it makes "Up to two unhappy citizens content". I've never run into this before where it had leftover unhappy citizens without using both of its "up to two". Why is this happening?

title: How do I clean up this space-town?

text: After having some successful and (primarily) not-so-successful rendezvous in space, the area around my nascent space-base is full of detritus. Ending the missions responsible for littering didn't remove any of the space junk, so now it's just sitting in orbit complicating maneuvers. This stuff generally doesn't have any docking ports or anything like that, so there doesn't seem to be a way to grab on to it with a ship. I'd like to make like a sheriff and clean up this space-town, but as far as I can tell the best way to do that is to run over every individual piece of debris with a ship which, although fun, is neither practical nor efficient (it tends to make even bigger messes). Are there any useful in-game components like grappling hooks or nets or magnets that can grab on to arbitrary components which I've missed, or failing that are there any good mods for playing space janitor?

I know it is not required to complete the level (just killing all the normal wanzers is enough) but it seems doable, plus I heard he gives a ton of EXP and money which makes the next few levels easier.

title: How can I replace an Xbox 360 DVD drive?

text: I am not entirely certain of the legality of this situation, and just smack me if it's not, but I have had a problem with my xbox 360's disk drive. After reading a number of guides and such I have come to find a few things.   1. It's possible to replace a drive in the 360.   2. In order to have the replacement drive work correctly (read: work at all), it must have the same lock code.   3. In order to have the disk drives share the same lock codes, one method of doing this is to swap one of the internal boards from the broken drive to a new, replacement drive.   4. There is another method involving getting the lock code itself out of the broken drive and putting it in the working drive. This, by contrast, is done by connecting the drives to a PC and doing something to each of them to transfer the code. Now, in this whole process, I have already gone so far as to order the replacement drive and rip it apart to try to transfer the board. Much to my surprise, the board in this particular bad drive was non-separate-able from the board. The boards were physically soldered to each end of a wire. I opened the good drive to confirm, and it too was soldered together. So I was left with #4 up there. After more research, I found that you need SATA cables and a PC that can handle it, plus some software. I haven't really found anything too much more specific than that. However... I did find that the same method to transfer the lock code is also potentially used to make the xbox read burned media... Just, instead of putting in your broken drive's lock code, you put in some pre-prepared file or some such stuff. * * * I want to make it clear at this point that I **do not want** the drive to read burned media. What I do want is for the drive to work and play my legitimately purchased games again. * * * Now, after all that information, my questions are as follows:   1. Is this method legal?   2. Second, if it **is** legal, how would I accomplish this? Edit: After some talk of this issue the other day, my brother decided that he's just gonna go buy a new one since he doesn't want to wait for me to get mine fixed. So, as if this wasn't a low enough priority already, it's even lower now. I'd still like to get it working if only to have done it once.

title: How can I display fps count in STALKER:SoC?

text: I already found the console and tried things like `fps 1`, `show_fps`, `/fps` and `/fps on`, but nothing worked yet. I guess there is some command to display how many fps I have but **how** is it named? I use no mods or something.


title: What are Mystic Coins used for? (And what are  Zommoros's favorite trades?)

text: Completing the Daily Guild Wars 2 Achievement earns some experience, coin, a chance at a black lion consumable, and a single Mystic Coin. The monthly achievement gives more of the same, including a lump sum of 20 coins. The tool tip implies that this can be used at the Mystic Forge in Lion's Arch, but doesn't say much more than that. What combinations are the coins required for? I'm not looking for _every_ recipe, but non-random recipes should have a "standard mixture", much like how crafting basic arms and armor is, for example, `Metal Chest Panel + Cloth Chest Padding + Insignia = new Chestpiece`. I've heard that these coins can be used to receive crafting recipes, and also high-level weapons - what's the skinny there?


title: When do the daily achievements reset?

text: Guild Wars 2 rewards you with a Mystic Coin if you complete a set of Daily Achievements. As their name might indicate, they reset every day, allowing you to complete them again for more arena net points and loot! At what time does this occur?


title: How do I deal with Gavelkind inheritance?

text: I have a minor problem - I started playing as the guy from Aquitane(the southern super-Duke) and now as he is in the fifth decade of his life, I am faced with the threat of losing all of my duchies but Aquitane, due to the stupid gavelkind law that cannot be even changed because France has restrictive laws. How do I deal with it?

title: How much XP does it take per Paragon level?

text: As of patch 2.0.1 paragon levels are no longer capped. How can I figure out how much xp it takes per level of paragon? * * * Pre 2.0.1 patch: Blizzard announced that there would be 100 additional "Paragon" levels after a player reached level 60. I'm not sure if they announced exactly how the increase in XP would work, but I was wondering if anyone knew the total amount of XP needed to get from Paragon level 0 to 100? A formula would also be helpful. (The only detail I was able to uncover from Blizzard was that the first paragon level would be roughly the amount of xp it took to get from level 59 to 60)


title: How do you score points in this game?

text: I have played this game a few times, and it's not clear what you need to do to score points. So, far all I've managed to do is to stay awake for 2 minutes or so, and then punch myself into oblivion. I assume based upon the controls, that there will be some movement in the line at some point? Or is this just a big sociological experiment to see if people will play a game without knowing why?


title: Are there any consequences/effects from not using blinkers?

text: So, yes. I'm using blinkers when turning right or left in the road, just like what I should do IRL. I just want to ask if there're any events that may occur if I don't use them, like problems in driving, penalties in delivery, etc.


title: How can I turn off my TV without turning off my PS3?

text: I've got it set up so the PS3 and TV communicate via HDMI and turning one or the other on/off turns them both on/off. If I'm in the middle of a video game (and paused) I can turn off the TV without the console shutting down. However, if I'm just at the downloads management screen I can't. Is there a way to temporarily disable the HDMI communication? I'd rather not have to go into the settings for something so simple, but that's probably easier than then RL hack I've been using of pulling the HDMI cable out while I power off the TV.

title: How to show nearest portal?

text: From what I heard, and worked a couple of time, I shouldn't have to do anything and have the closest portal pointed to me when there are none in the visible area. But now there just isn't any shown, unless I get near enough for them to be visible. Is there a button I'm missing?

title: Why are my Terraria characters restricted from being certain colors?

text: One of my favorite hex colors is "Slate Gray": `2F4F4F` (or `47` `79` `79`). I'm currently trying to make a character for the first time in Terraria, and I've found that the 'blue' value for color is prevented from being very low; further experimentation indicates that the more likely case is that the sum of the RGB values must be >= 254. This makes a heap of hex colors unobtainable. Why does Terraria limit the character color pallete like this? Are there any workarounds? I'm aware that clothing color will become largely meaningless as soon as I get some armor, but it's the principal of the thing that irks me.


title: If the father dies before his child is born, will it lose all claims?

text: I had a strange situation yesterday: One of my courtiers had a strong claim on an Irish county. I married him to one of my daughters, so I would sooner or later be able to get someone of my dynasty on their throne (or whatever the count equivalent for that is). Then, the courtier died without giving me a grandchild. I thought all was lost, but a few months later my still widowed daughter had a child. It was definitely his son, but it did not inherit his claim on the county. Shouldn't it have? I am pretty sure the same situation usually worked out when the father was still around on childbirth. The situation in the county did not change in the meantime, so thats not the reason for the claim not being there. Can somebody explain to me what happened?

text: I'm replaying Diablo2 once again and I would like to leave music and SFX sounds, but I want to mute the Amazon, her constant shouts when she shoots are going on my nerves. Does anyone knows how to disable character sounds and leave only music/sfx? EDIT: I'm aware of MPQ readers available, but I would like to get more certain advice, such as "You need to get tool A, open file B, look for certain rows C and comment/replace them, save file and enjoy the game". Last time when I checked the tools they only could read and export MPQ contents..


title: Is there any way to compare different types of weapons?

text: In the store, you have a "compare" function. But is it possible to compare different type of weapons ? For instance, is it possible to compare a SMG to a rifle ? Or a signature weapon with any other weapon ? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7A9SR.png)


title: What are signature weapons?

text: I couldn't find any tips among the in-game tutorials about these signature weapons. So what is it ? Is it some kind of overpowered version of other existing weapons ? I'm asking because I couldn't find any equivalent in the other shop's weapons. For instance, the Shredder: > The Shredder is unlocked when you have found 10 Memory Cards. It is a > customized Vektor SMG with a suppressor, extended magazine and optical > sights. Vektor SMG ? It that supposed to be a regular weapon I'm not aware of ? Maybe I haven't found it yet, but then is it normal that this signature weapon gets unlocked ? ![Signature weapon: Shredder](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9Lz33.png) Also, it looks like they come with attachments and custom paint corresponding to your play style. For instance, I'm mostly playing stealthy and I like to paint my guns in red: the 3 signature weapons that popped in the store so far are red and equiped with sound suppressors. Is it just a coincidence ?


title: Is there a best practice for resolving Block IDs when working with multiple mods?

text: Ok I'm setting up a Minecraft vanilla server (i.e. Mojang server, not Bukkit) with Red Power 2, Industrial Craft 2 and Build Craft 2.2 Red Power and Industrial Craft work together nicely.

title: Minecraft 1.1 and odd boat behavior?

text: I rarely use boats at all, so I am a bit unfamiliar with them. However, I decided to try out some boat contraptions, and I noticed some really odd behavior. I assumed this was just Minecraft being Minecraft, but it seems that these oddities should not be happening.   1. Boats seem to be blocked by non-solid blocks, like signs.   2. Water elevators seem to (to some extent) work again. This certainly seems... abnormal. This was tested on Minecraft 1.1 only, so I don't know if any of these bugs were apparent in 1.0, but I don't think they were. Could anyone confirm that these bugs are in fact present in 1.1 and that they were not present in 1.0?

title: What is the best way to detect covered/hidden units in an enemy city?

text: The problem is that my invading naval force tries to defend my attacking "marines", however, sometimes an enemy destroyer pops out from no where and kills the unit. This had perplexed me on occasion as to how this could happen. Especially since I utilize a defence with my navy where the only gaps would cause the enemy unit to move past my defence in an adjacent fashion, thus losing any remaining moves. I have since worked out that the unit usually is within the city I am attacking and that I cannot see it because they are hidden/covered by a land unit in the city. What is the best way to see the destroyer or any other units in the city when the rule of having multiple units on a hex is allowed?

text: I can't get through the waves of Demons at the start of Hell. I think I've managed it once with two invulnerability potions and an exceptionally lucky formation of demons that spawned randomly. I don't think I can count on that, which means there must be some easier way to get through all of this, especially after failing 25 times. For reference, I'm using a Sword of Summoning (lvl 9), I have the Magic Horn and Plate Armor, and have 355 HP from having eaten more candy than an entire city of 9 year olds on November 1st.

Is she supposed to take the item has anyone seen this I then tried again by dropping the armour right in front of her and all hell broke loose with vendors fighting each other with shouts of I saw it first, with knives flashing and everything. No one got killed but I have them all set to essential.

title: Clicking on minimap causes strange behavior

text: I had to reinstall broodwar on my dad's computer. The game has exhibited some very strange behaviors. First of all, the game randomly minimizes when i click in the lower right corner. Secondly, whenever I click on minimap, it doesn't go to the correct place. Instead, it takes me to the lowermost part. I know this is the Starcraft 2 minimap but it shows perfectly what I'm trying to demonstrate. For example, when I would click in the middle of the map it would take me to the mid-bottom. If i clicked top right it would take me bottom right and so on. Has anybody else ever experienced this?? ![what would happen if i clicked in the middle of the map](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ecQO9.jpg) I'm working on a desktop with a Windows 7.

title: Catch fish with fishing stick in Twlight Princess Wii

text: How do I catch fish with that fishing stick in Twlight Princess? I need it at the beginning and just before the mountain and it always takes me 10+minutes to catch ONE fish. I have difficulty getting the FISH ON text to appear. If it helps i do notice I can hold the remote to be have the stick gfx on the right side at the bottom, higher/near top then any higher on the remote will take it out of the water. Every tutorial says wait for the green to go underwater and raise the Wii remote. I do it and my rod goes out of the water. Then I do it so its just higher and either way I dont catch the fish. This is frustrating. I dont need to catch fish anymore but if I ever restart the game I will so I may come back to this as reference.

The special secondary on these shoulders reads: "When receiving fatal damage, there is a chance that you are instead restored to 25% of maximum Life and cause nearby enemies to flee in fear." Since I play a hardcore character, this special ability piqued my interest. However, it would be nice to know how good the odds are of this item saving a character from death.

title: What are the immediate benefits of choosing Ra, and how do I play to his strengths late-game?

However I've got a couple of friends who are also going to pick it up, and we're going to have a LAN day in a couple of weeks time. I've played around a bit and I feel like I'm competent enough to hold my own as a generic Egyptian, but I'd like to specialise and learn a few tricks, what unit combos work together, which sub-gods to choose, that sort of thing. Now I've played my friends in other RTSs before, most notably Starcraft 1 and Dawn of War, and they tend to turtle and go for power-units late game (we're all pretty ~~noob~~ casual) So, What is a good build path for Ra?

title: Why are my Kethane tanks not filling?

text: I've been playing around with the Kethane resource mod, and I believe I've met the requirements to be able to extract Kethane from Mun. I've deployed satellites around Mun, in a rather nice fashion, if I do say so myself: ![My Satellite Network](http://i.stack.imgur.com/he8t9.png) After I had scanned the area, I landed my miner in a dense concentration of Kethane deposits: ![My Miner Location](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OD5R4.png) So far, so good. The landing was a bit rocky, but it survived intact. I deployed my drills, but they're not gathering Kethane: ![Miner deployed and drilling, but not extracting resources](http://i.stack.imgur.com/p8EKI.png) According to the Kethane Fuel Routing thread, the fuel tanks work just like Monopropellant; they don't need fuel lines. As long as a drill is attached to the same entity as Kethane fuel tanks, they'll be filled. So what am I missing here? Why can't I gather Kethane?

title: PS3 issues following YLOD fix -- what now?

text: I have a PS3 that recently YLOD'd. I followed djwhetzel's youtube videos to remedy the YLOD. The fix worked, for a couple minutes. Now, the screen goes crazy, showing really bad video, as in something is wrong w/ the video processor. The system locks, and I can only shut it down using the power switch. Anytime I start it back up, it attempts to start, no YLOD/blinking red light, but the video is corrupt and the system is locked (doesn't respond to any input at all, including the power switch). I had already purchased a new PS3, in hopes to pull the data off the YLOD'd one and then trash it. But now I'm not sure I'll even be able to do that. So my questions: 1) Any idea what the new issue is, and if it is fixable? 2) If it is not fixable by me, is it fixable by Sony or some other service? 3) Is there any way I can get my saved data off of there if I'm unable to get the original system to boot? I'm afraid the answer here is "no", but it really drives me crazy that the HD is perfectly fine and my saved data is completely in tact, and I have a perfectly new PS3, with absolutely no way to get the saved data from that HD to my new one. **UPDATE:** Upon more digging, it sounds like my GPU may be overheating, possibly due to a poor job on my part of applying thermal compound -- is this a possibility? If so, have I permanently fried my GPU, or can I possibly fix this by reapplying the compound? What may I have done wrong to have caused this?

text: So, as per Where can I find specific dye colors? it seems that dye colors are somewhat random as to where you find them. In Act II, I was able to buy acquatic dye and spring dye from the merchant to the right of the entrance to the palace (the one with the pipe). I am creating a set of armor that is colored teal with some spring green accents, and I bought 3 spring dyes from him over the past few trips I've made to town. However, now it seems that he no longer stocks the spring dye. Is this temporary? Will it come back? As a corollary, what is the determining factor for when merchants cycle their goods? Every time I come to town? Once an hour? Once every set of small bosses I defeat?

title: Skyrim CTD during intro sequence after clean install

text: After experiencing some problems with Skyrim and my mod loadout after installing Dragonborn, I figured the easiest way to fix everything would be to start from scratch, so I uninstalled Skyrim (and manually deleted the left over files). I then proceeded to re-download and install Skyrim, Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn, and the Hi Res texture packs - all official Bethesda content, no mods. I can get into the game, and start a new game, but after about 10 seconds on that darned cart, the game crashes. I'm fairly certain all my drivers and whatnot are up to date, and my computer is enough to handle Skyrim no problem. Any suggestions? EDIT: After deactivating the high resolution DLC and unofficial patch, I was able to play for about half an hour before it crashed.

text: It says it 'heals all friendly crew in the room' and 'can target your own ship'. Now I would _assume_ that the specification of _friendly_ would mean I could board an enemy ship, and use this weapon to heal my assault team **during battle** _without_ healing the enemy crewmembers. I have no ships with a transporter to test this. Am I correct in my assumption?

So either the overheating bar is full and the engine explodes or the bar is not full an nothing happens? Or is there gradual damage?


title: Where are the easter eggs located in Monaco?

text: I came accross two or maybe three of the game's easter egg, playing the Mole and digging in some maps' regions. ![Easter egg in the Casino](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xeAHm.jpg) Are there others? Are there other ways to find easter eggs than digging? **Where are they located?**


title: Why does the Commando 553 rifle's Tactical Stock mod give a -1 penalty to Concealment and give no bonuses?

text: What causes the Tactical Stock mod for the Commando 553 rifle to show up as giving a -1 to the Concealment stat and give no bonuses? Don't weapon mods (except sights) give at least 1 bonus to a weapon stat? This is the only non- sight weapon mod I've noticed that gives a penalty and doesn't give a bonus to a stat. Is this mod purely for aesthetics only? ![Tactical Stock mod for the Commando 553 rifle image](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KmmhC.jpg) A post in the Reddit /r/paydaytheheist subreddit suggests that it increases a hidden stat. Can anyone confirm or deny? In case it matters, my Commando 553 rifle also has the ff. mods equipped: Long Barrel, 'Fire Breather' barrel extension, 'Auto Fire' custom mod, Enhanced Foregrip, 'Tactical Laser Module' gadget, Enhanced Grip, 'See More Sight', 'Heat Treated Body' upper receiver. I tried changing some of the mods, but it seems this does not affect the penalties of the Tactical Stock mod.


title: In what specific order do I have to put the modules on the temporal communication system?

text: Very early in the game you have to put together an Antenna to talk to your people in the future. The cubic modules are supposed to make for one plane Area. I can't quite figure it out. So how exactly and in what order do you have to put the cubes on the antenna to solve this puzzle?

title: Heartfire House Freeze Glitch

text: Now I've built all 3 houses in Hearthfire and I have moved into one, Lakeview Manor, with my wife and adopted kids. But there is one problem, every time I add something to chests, wardrobes, drawers etc. the game freezes after a little while, and depending on how much I've put in I wont be able to go back into the house for a few days, maybe even a week, because it still freezes. The whole game, making me turn off my xbox. It's fine if I don't put anything in, I can come and go as I please.   * Why does it do that?   * Is there a way to stop it doing that?   * Does anyone else have this same problem? Or is it the task of simply putting up with it?   * Oh and I have giants, bandits and dragons attacking now and then, is that normal? Not forgetting the dead dragon forever spawning at my house, half fallen through the ground, maybe that's causing a glitch?


title: Clarification on conversations about resistances

text: I have a query as a result of reading your questions and answers regarding resistances and armour for Diablo 3. When you state (for example) 700 resistance, do you mean 700 total resistance or 700 resistance for each different resistance?


title: Where can I find a list of all 3DS titles available in the 3DS eShop?

text: I am planning to get a 3DS, and wanted to know what sort of games are up on the 3DS eShop. I tried checking the Nintendo website, but it only shows a list of "featured" titles, not the entire shop catalog. I assume they want you to look using the device itself (and thereby hopefully buy a game or two) For those of us without a 3DS, is this information available elsewhere?

title: Can the creepy ambience sounds be disabled?

text: In Minecraft, when you are nearby a large unlit area (underground caves, dungeons, etc), you hear ambient sounds, many of which are very unsettling and all of which sound unnatural. These can be particularly nerve-wracking when playing alone on a multiplayer server and trying not to be found by enemy players. Is there any way to disable these sounds, or at least modify them to sound less frightening?

title: How much can I improve the Nightingale Bow?

text: I have the perks from the heavy armor side of smithing, and I currently improved my Nightingale bow to Flawless, inflicting 75 damage. I would like to improve it higher. Everyone talks about how armor can be improved infinitely using the Alchemy- Enchant-Smithing loop (thus it's possible to have hide armor that's as strong as dragonscale). Is it also possible to improve weapons like this? I really like this bow, but it would be a tough choice if I cannot improve it higher/equivalent to a legendary daedric bow (The enchants on it are not too bad either.)


title: How do I power Redstone through a block?

text: I have seen this in YouTube videos: a person places a Redstone Torch on the wall like in the picture, and it activates a circuit.

My question is, how can I power Redstone on the other side of this stone block? ![Redstone](http://i.stack.imgur.com/5OCDF.png)


title: When do drops reset?

text: For TF2 the 'drop reset' is claimed to be Thursday at GMT 00:00. Assuming that they are both Valve/Source games it could be the same time for drop reset - but I don't know that this is the case. Can anyone confirm that it is the same, or if not, what time does the reset happen for CS: GO?


title: What are the difference between tanks from different countries?

text: I want to find out what the difference between defensive and offensive "specializations" of tanks in the various trees are. Something like (and this is what I heard a friend mention) "German tanks are heavier armored and have precise guns, French are just bulky and Russians have fast tanks). Basically, where do I go if I want a hard-hitting Destroyer, an Arty that aims the fastest, or the fastest light tank (among other questions)?


title: How do I unlock more planets?

text: After finishing the initial tutorial I have Mercury, Venus, and Earth. Randomly one day the Void then showed up with a single survival mission. I have achievements for saving Uranus(heh) and Sedna, but I can't go to those planets as they aren't on my navigation map. I am now level 11 (on the upwards end of all planets unlocked so far), yet no more planets have showed up for me to go to? How do I unlock them? EDIT: I should add I'm on the XB1 version, which is on a different build than PC... so rules may be different.


title: How can I keep my Embermage alive?

text: The Embermage class, unlike the other three available classes in Torchlight 2, seems to lack any decent defensive spells:   * **Death's Bounty** is arguably the most useful defensive spell, allowing you to recoup health and mana from enemies under this spell's effect   * **Immolation Aura** can absorb 5%, 10%, or 15% damage based on the tier   * **Elemental Boon** boosts elemental resistances   * **Prismatic Rift** will randomly teleport enemies away when they hit Other than these, I don't see any other spells that help my character stay alive. So my question is simple: **what's the best way to keep an Embermage alive?** Is having the best offense the only option for this class? I've found that Embermages can have a tough time in acts 3 and 4, especially in large mob situations (one-shot kills seem to be a staple of this class, at least in my experience). What are some tips to keep my Embermage alive and well?


title: What is called "maximum carry weight" in the formula for strength advancement

text: In an answer to "How do soldiers increase their attributes?"[1] there is the following sentence: > Strength (20): Points are given when soldier moves one tile while carrying > more than 80% of its maximum carry weight. What is called the "maximum carry weight" here? Is it the weight a soldier can carry without a TU penalty or is it the total maximum weight, like when the weight bar is full (not sure what the TU penalty would be then).

title: How to unlock the last level?

text: In Face Raiders, the level after the Bonus Level has a Keyhole on it, signifying that it is locked. When I press it, It says:                                                  ???

Does this mean that I have to go to the camera and _actually_ merge faces? Or do I continue collecting faces like the game asks me to?

title: Do achievements/awards give any reward?

text: In World of Tanks, you receive rewards, accolades, achievements, etc during games where you perform well. For example, you will earn Top Gun if you get at least 6 kills in a single game. My question is do these rewards give you any boost in XP/credits, or are they simple "ego-boosters"? if there is a chart/database somewhere on how much these awards actually earn you(seeing as there is quite a bit)... that'd be great too (I couldn't find one)


title: Does GTA V's main campaign have full coop play?

text: I haven't played GTA V yet, but there were a lot of rumors that the main campaign would possibly have full coop play. But when I search for GTA V and Coop campaign, I mostly get articles on how it's probably coming or GTA online. Does GTA V allow the main campaign to be played coop?


title: Is it possible to transfer characters between Steam accounts?

text: A little backstory, I am utilising the Steam Family Sharing functionality to essentially create a new Steam account with all of my current games on it. I have played Payday 2 extensively and reached level 100 with a whole variety of weapons, gadgets and stuff to blow people up. As a result of playing Payday 2 via the Steam Family Sharing functionality my character is not present - if I play using the original account it's all there and safe. I copied the contents of Steam\userdata\profileID\218620 to the new profileID folder for the new account, however upon starting the game I get the following error: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/dVce9.jpg) Is it possible to transfer characters between Steam accounts so I can keep my character or am I going to have to start again?


title: How do I get to the place of power that Cecil Burdon mentioned?

text: I've been playing this game for a few hours now and I got to the point where I need to find a place of power. Cecil Burdon mentioned a place in a forest where a witch used to live. I got to the place but it's on top of a cliff. I went all over around it but I can't see to find any way of getting up there. Does anybody know how to get up there ? Thank you in advance for your reply


title: What do the golden puzzle pieces you get from the goat herder do?

text: In Nitrome's latest Icebreaker game for iOS, there is a goat herder in some levels. If you manage to move all of the goats in those levels into his boat, you get a **golden puzzle piece** that moves to the top of the screen and stays there. Once you've completed the level, there is **no sign** that you ever collected one. Is there any way to see **the number of puzzle pieces** you have collected? Is there **a certain use for them** , perhaps later in the game? They just seem to disappear.


title: Where do I find Odrin?

text: In Chapter 2 of The Witcher 2, I've been tasked with finding a drunk man named Odrin by a few other drunk people. Normally this wouldn't be very high on my priority list, only, well... **They won't shut up about him.** Everywhere I go around camp and everything I do, be it fighting in a tournament, arm-wrestling the mercs for cash or discussing difficult politics with political people, I hear them shouting his name. It's really ruining the mood. > Ooooooooooodriiiiiiiiiiiiin, where are yooooooou? But seriously, where is he?


title: Is your Hall of Fallen Heroes public?

text: Is your Hall of Fallen Heroes public at all? Is it possible to look at other people's heroes and admire them? Or is it entirely for your own records and memories?


title: Player Character Lore

text: I'm almost finished with one play-through of the game, and I'm pretty depressed at the lack of lore concerning my character. I'm playing a demon hunter, and he keeps hinting at how his entire family was murdered by demons, and how he's been ruthlessly hunting them down ever since. They also hint that he is one of the nephalem, without much explanation there. The only other thing I've learned is that he traveled through the Dreadlands once. For an RPG that forces the way you look and act, I feel pretty disconnected from the person I'm pretending to be. Is there any more lore on player characters throughout the game that I either missed or haven't discovered yet? Or is it something I'll just have to make up on my own?


title: How was the cow level discovered?

text: Does anyone know how was the cow level discovered? I don't think the instructions were in the game guide. Was it hinted through either the game or the lore of Diablo 2? How did people figure out that you had to use a Tome of Town Portal and Wirt's PegLeg in the Horadric cube?


title: Blurry writings with Xbox

text: I bought an Xbox 360 more or less recently and I feel like I have trouble reading any kind of writing on the screen, and my eyesight is fine (at least with my glasses on) so I highly doubt that is the problem. I've seen the same problem occurring on what you'd call normal-sized font (for quests, tutorial, subtitles, etc.) in Assassin's Creed, Just Cause 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction. I'm playing on a rather old (~10 year) 51" television. Is it possible that it is too old for the Xbox and its rather high resolution? I tried fiddling with my TV settings, but nothing I did really helped. I have had no such problem with my Wii or, formerly, my GameCube, but they both have much lower video capacity.


title: What is the use of the Pilot's Armor in SW:TOR?

text: After buying and subscribing to Star Wars - The Old Republic, I received multiple packages with Pilot's Armor. What is the use of this Armor and why is it called Adaptive Armor? Is it of any use for me as Juggernaut? Does wearing it give me any benefit in a space battle? As far as I can see, it is less useful than my current, Medium Armor. (Didn't replace it yet with Heavy Armor) ![Armor in Inventory](http://i.stack.imgur.com/wBRTc.png) ![Armor Stats Example](http://i.stack.imgur.com/687je.png)


title: Can I run an SNES emulator without it having input focus?

text: I'm trying to let someone play an emulator on another monitor while I use my computer normally on the main monitor. I need to set up an emulator for SNES that will continue the emulation and accept joypad input even when the window doesn't have focus. Numerous emulators for other systems allow me to do this, but at least trying zsnes and snes9x I can't do this. I found a modified version of snes9x that sort of works, but the sound is a little iffy in game and when the game loses focus sound stops entirely. zsnes will run by default when it loses focus, but I can't move it to the other monitor, and taking focus away means it won't accept input.


title: Dawnguard DLC disappears after turning off Xbox

text: I have been playing Dawnguard for awhile now and I got up to the mission where you get the dragon Elder Scroll. After I got it I saved, turned off my xbox and went to bed. When I got up next morning my dlc was gone but I still had the scroll... I reinstalled it but now I can't even get the guard to tell me about the Dawnguard or talk to anybody inside the fort. Anybody got any ideas how to fix this problem?


title: How do I tell how many items I have in my inventory?

text: With the 1.12.5 update to ingress the inventory is now capped at 2000 items. How can I tell how many items are in my inventory? Under ops I can pretty easily add up the resonators and xmps, but keys are a little more tedious. I'm hoping there's somewhere to easily find the count of all these items.


title: Which does more damage - Floor Spikes or Wall Blades?

text: I'm working on a particularly tough level and I only get to choose a few Defenses. For a long long hallway, do Floor Spikes do more damage to the Heroes than Wall Blades?


title: What are the differences between Reimu's Spell Cards?

text: In _Touhou: the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil_ , I've so far been using Reimu and her Spell Card "Fantasy Seal" with the "Homing Amulet" sub-weapon. I admit I've become a little spoiled using the Homing Amulet, because it, well, auto- homes in on the enemies, which is pretty handy. What advantages does using the Spell Card "Evil Sealing Circle" with the "Persuasion Needle" sub-weapon have over the Homing Amulet? Does it the Persuasion Needle do more DPS than the Homing Amulet? Why would I want to choose that over a weapon that auto-homes in on the enemies? I admit that I don't use my bombs very often, so I'm entirely unsure of the differences between the bomb effects of the two cards.


title: Does the Wii still corrupt 1019 GameCube memory cards?

text: I just bought Eternal Darkness and intend to play it on my Wii. I apparently need a GameCube controller and memory card, so I've done some shopping for a Wavebird (man, they're expensive!) and memory card. A quick search reveals that many people have seen their Wii corrupt all their data stored on 1019 GameCube memory cards. Is this still the case? Should I just buy a 251 memory card and call it a wrap?


title: How do I beat Endurance levels?

text: I have a lot of trouble with endurance. I usually go down around wave 50 on the early levels. How can I improve my strategy to reach the higher waves? I keep upgrading my towers and the monsters die with ease, but it seems like all of a sudden the waves are really hard and my towers can't put a dent in their HP. Some questions:   * Are prismatic gems worth it compared to bi-colored gems around wave 50ish?   * Can you give any tips on when/how often to manna pool, for example "x1 time per wave" ?   * Are many lower grade gems better than a few higher grade gems around this wave?   * Are level 7 and above grade gems worth it, damage and price wise?   * I notice that when I replay an endurance level, my exp doesn't go up?   * Any other tips you can give for mid(?)-game endurance levels?


title: How can I stitch Minecraft worlds together?

text: I visit a Minecraft survival multiplayer server. When monsters were added to SMP, the server archived the map and started afresh. When 1.8 is released, the server operator plants to do the same again. I'd like to merge the old maps into locations the new map, at distant locations. Does a tool exist to stitch together entire maps like that?


title: What do the sub-weapon categories like "Spirit" and "Dream" mean?

text: In _Touhou: the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil_ , for each of the Spell Cards, there is a property next to each of the sub-weapons. For example, Reimu's "Homing Amulet" and "Persuasion Needle" list "Spirit" and "Dream" next to them respectively. Marisa's "Magic Missile" is "Magic" while her "Illusion Laser" is... "Love"? Are these properties by which the sub-weapon is stronger against certain enemy types? Or are they simply for flavor?


title: How often can the templar heal?

text: Running around as a demon hunter, my templar is the perfect complement. He's definitely saved my life more than once with his heal ability. However, there have been times where he hasn't done it as I run around waiting for it to happen. Normally, this happens if he recently healed me (so I assume there's a cooldown on the heal). But I've also noticed that sometimes he heals me twice in quick succession, which makes me doubt that. Does anyone know what the limiting factors are on when and how often your templar will heal you?

title: Can dual wielding be an effective strategy?

text: Every time I attempt dual wield weapons it doesn't go very well. I find it impossible to defend myself, especially when there is no way of lessening the blow of an incoming power attack. The extra damage output you can get from dual wielding weapons just doesn't seem worth the extra vulnerability to me, although I don't know if this is because of my play style. So I guess what I am asking is, is there a way to make dual-wielding an effective strategy for the core combat spec of a character? Or is it merely something that's a fun little add on to play around with every now and again?


title: When should the jungler leave the kills to the lanemate?

text: When ganking my lanes in the laning phase of the game, when should I leave the kill to the lanemate (assuming the kill is safe and the enemy won't get away)?

title: Why are my remote ships being attacked by seemingly neutral Terran ships in war (red on the map) sectors?

text: I have a great reputation with Terrans, though I have at one point damaged my reputation with them nearly beyond repair. Now, I quite often see my ships being attacked by Terran ships in war (shown as red on the Universe map) sectors, and whenever I open the sector map via the attacked ship's menu, I see a red, hostile Terran ship. When I enter the sector, no hostile Terrans are to be seen. Sometimes my ship manages to destroy the attacker, leading to reputation loss for me, sometimes it gets destroyed, which is even worse. It almost seems the AI has become quite a bit smarter and more vindictive, but that is implausible. What's the reason behind these sneak attacks on my property? When I'm looking at the map while out of sector, entering the ship's information menu turns it blue for several seconds until it reverts to red. I've managed to track one of those red Terrans by its registration number and the captain was perfectly cordial with me. Sometimes the attacking ships will be blue on approach, but turn red as soon as they engage my ship; though after I jump in they turn blue again. Even my satellites are getting destroyed by them, despite there being no way for the Terrans to track them - they are well above any ship activity at Y:50km, and the Springblossom laying the satellites is far too fast for the Terran ships to chase it until the satellite comes in range of their scanners.


title: Can power ups spawns be predicted?

text: I find that I miss a lot of power-up spawns on blind turns where I am not fast enough to react to jump and get them. I realize their spawns are random, but are they completely random? Should I look for them every 100 m, every 250 m, or triggered my score levels or something else?

title: Invading a country with high crown laws

text: I play as the King of Ireland, and I plan to expand a little in the Kingdom they call England. Problem is, they have high crown authority, meaning any landed titles can not be inherited outside their realm. If I gain a dukal title, this will not be inherited to my heir upon my death. So how do I go about this? I have a few ideas:   * Play like a baws and challenge the crown directly. This will be hard, because I need to control at least half the country, and it might be hard to conjure up that many CBs before I die. **Even then, can I lower the crown authority when it's not my main title?**   * Give away all my English lands to a dynasty member (preferably my heir) before I die. In theory, this would give me more time to build up an English powerbase.   * Ignore England for now, and focus on Scotland and Wales. When those are secured, I could possibly start pushing for an Emperor title.   * Have the English king excommunicated, which may give me a free CB (right?) – however, this is highly unlikely in my situation. My second problem is, even if I did manage to become King of England and change their crown authority, my sources inform me their succession law is actually _seniority_ – so that would need to be changed as well, and as far as I know, you can't change two crown laws in one reign. Seriously, those bastards make it hard for me to invade their lands. It's almost as if they don't want me there.


title: What are the differences between the different ports of MW3?

text: First off let me say this question is being asked with the assumption that computer specs meet all the recommended specs for the game. When I had purchased _Black Ops_ from Steam for PC my computer went well beyond the recommended specs, but I had all sorts of problems occur such as crashes in the game causing it to force quit itself, as well as having the game screen go to a bright yellow and not returning to the game itself. What are the differences between the various ports of the game?

text: OK, I've got a PC version of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 on PC CD-ROM, but I've upgraded to a Mac (MacBook Pro OSX Snow Leopard specifically) and I want to re-install it. I understand there are a number of options for running PC games/software on a Mac, such as Wine, VirtualBox or BootCamp. I already have a Windows XP VM in VirtualBox, but that's slow enough without trying to run something like RCT3 in it. I know there's a Mac port of RCT3 released, but I don't want to spend extra money when I already have a perfectly valid PC version already.

I've Googled and found that others have this problem as well, but found no solution. **Note: I am not using the Steam version** What I've tried:   * Lowering the display settings to the very minimum.   * Fiddling with the sound, in case there's a missing file there for some reason.   * Re-installing the game.   * Make sure the game is only run on 2 processors and not 4.

text: I'm on Hard / Classic mode, and my units are dying **a lot**. Classic mode = permadeath, so my units are gone forever, and this is becoming frustrating. Can I change to a different difficulty level or mode without starting over?


title: How will I be able to complete the event in Tiny Death Star at my current rate?

text: I was wondering something. I've been playing as much as possible for the last couple of days, resulting in a turnover of almost 500 'medals' per day. At this rate I will not be able to complete the event before the time runs out. What am I doing wrong? (I'm currently approx. 100 medals in to the first char, R2-Q5!)


title: Where can I find a Bretonian Heavy Fighter?

text: I'm playing Freelancer, and I have been flying the Defender Heavy Fighter class. Upon arriving in Bretonian I was told to buy a new ship, but I've only found ships of the Freighter and Light Fighter class. Where can I find a Bretonian Heavy Fighter class ship?


title: How can I manage my ships systems?

text: During a variety of missions, I am given tips referencing how I should manage my power distribution, or group weapons to use low heat weapons to avoid unnecessary attention. What systems can I control in my ship, and how can I manage them?


![a](http://i.imgur.com/gNATYV9.jpg) How do I get onto the roof of this building? It's too high to get there by climbing on top of the truck. Is using Dodo the only way to reach this roof? ==== EDIT ==== This building is located in Portland, near number 30: ![a](http://i.imgur.com/bPyGlkj.png)


title: What am I supposed to do if a teammate starts firing at me in World of Tanks?

text: It sometimes happens that a teammate deliberately tries to kill you for example if you stand in his way. It often happens on Province or Malinovka that I hide behind a rock next to the spawn area and snipe from there. Sometimes someone else tries to push you out and if it does not work they start firing at you. In these cases I ask them to stop but 80% won't do so and in this case standard procedure for me is to ensure survival: I kill them and continue the game. Today I received an 1H ban because of "Team Kill" but in fact it was self defense. What can I do in these cases? Just standing there until I die is not an option.


title: What's the correct way to leave cover?

text: When I'm in cover and I want to leave it (say when all enemies are dead and I need to move on) I often make a fool of myself - I usually end up rolling around or moving to another piece of cover while my squad-mates look on with withering distain (or that's how I see it). Often I find I'm 'stuck' in cover and I can only get out by jumping over the top of a barrier or rolling off the side when there's no more cover that way. I'm assuming I'm missing something, what's the correct way to 'leave' cover and move around normally again?


title: What difference does my choice of significant combat loss make?

text: I've not played Mass Effect 1 or 2, and during character creation in Mass Effect 3 I'm asked to choose what experience of combat loss I have. This makes little sense to me, I don't know who the people mentioned are. What difference does it make to the game?


title: What actually unlocked the Previous Assassin's outfits

text: In my game when i went into the outfits i found i had the previous Assassin's outfits in with the rest. i assumed this was because i had played the previous games (didn't complete Assassin's Creed 3) and they got unlocked because the game picked up their save games. When my dad went to play the game and went to his outfits he didn't have any and he's completed Assassin's Creed 3. the only difference between his profile and mine is that i have an x-box live account which i use to update the game on his 360. I am wondering, what unlocks the Previous Assassin's outfits? EDIT: To clarify (as i didn't think of it) i have never used UPlay and always skipped any signup/log in step


title: Is the AI smarter on Immortal or Deity, or do they just get bonuses?

text: I know that higher levels AIs get bonuses. But do they actually play smarter? It seems a little unfair for the AIs to get bonuses. Is the idea just that to beat them, a player has to be so good that he can still win with a handicap?
