title: Am I supposed to have no idea what's going on in the first few hours of play?

text: I've been playing for a while now, I'm apparently looking for a girl or something, but unless I missed it, there was absolutely no introduction to who I am, or what I am doing, what I'm looking for, where I am, what any of this is. Have I missed something (perhaps cos I didn't play the earlier bioshock games?) or am I supposed to have no idea what's going on?


title: How to prevent sound being sporadically choppy when playing Amiga games on WinUAE?

text: I find that when playing Amiga games in WinUAE, the sound goes choppy for no apparent reason. Sometimes this happens right away when starting emulation, other times sound is fine for a while then starts to go choppy at some apparently random point. Is there anything that can be done to prevent this from happening? My system:   * Windows XP SP 3.   * AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+, 1.98GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 6100 nForce 405. Some more details:   * I am using version 2.3.2.0, but have also tried 2.4.1 and had the same result.   * I've changed settings, such as sound buffer settings - but this doesn't appear to help.   * The problem appears to happen with any game - not just a specific game.   * The SND: value at the bottom of the WinUAE window often goes negative and is sometimes greyed-out. What does this mean?   * I don't have any sound issues when using other non-WinUAE software on the same PC.


title: Where are all the puzzle pieces in Hotline Miami?

text: Very similar to this question, but I want to know where exactly ALL the puzzle pieces are. Please provide locations for each puzzle piece in the following format:   * I - Chapter 3, 2nd Floor, Bathroom. So puzzle letter, chapter its on, and the floor its own. Also please note any ambiguities this format may create for certain pieces (ie, bathroom in the centre if there's multiple bathrooms on that floor).


Is there a way to find where other players are in the Minecraft world without asking them for their coordinates? I play with friends. We've sort of aligned ourselves in a 2 vs 2 match-up, and since we wanna PvP with them, we need to find them first.


title: How can I get more chocolate?

text: I want to maximize Stinky's ability to collect coins while I'm not using Plants Vs. Zombies, and that means giving him regular feedings of chocolate. How can I maximize my chocolate harvest while actually playing the game? I'm using the iOS / iPad version - in case it matters.


title: Minecraft Pulser Burns out

text: According to this article > 1-clocks and 3-clocks are possible to make but they will "burn out" because > of their speed, which makes them unstable. Redundancy can be used to > maintain a 1-clock, even as the torches burn out; the result is the so- > called "Rapid Pulsar" Whenever I make a 1 clock, it pulses for a bit, then burns out and never comes back on. How do I implement Redundancy which will keep it pulsing?

title: What are the differences between the English and French versions of Die2Nite?

text: As Die2Nite is originally a French game called Hordes, the English version was released a while after the French version. The result of this is that those of us who play the English version often get updates pushed to the servers months after the French receive them. I'm interested in knowing what features and mechanics differ between these two versions of the game. Is there anywhere I can find an up-to-date list of these differences, or, barring that, could someone please make one and post it here?

Now I recently moved out, bought my own PS3, and have my own e-mail now and would like to edit the account he made for me, with his consent, so I can use it as my own.

title: How do I get across the quicksand in the northwest cave of the Lanayru Mines?

text: I'm stuck in the Lanayru mine. I've gotten to the northwest cave, across the large lake of quicksand. There's a locked door, and a mining cart I can't push anywhere. To my left is a quicksand-filled tunnel that seems to be the only place I can go: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Bamkt.jpg) I've tried running across. I've tried rolling across. I've gone back to the start of the mine and triggered the time crystal in the basin, hoping it would reach this portion of the cave. None of that worked. **Where do I go from here?** Is there a way across this quicksand? Or do I need to go somewhere else?


title: How can I find out which special thieves guild quests I have completed?

Unfortunately I didn't know this when I started the thieves guild career path and now I do not remember which of those quests are done and which are still open. I completed 2 or 3 oh those, but not all of them. Is there an easy way to find this information? Maybe someone can post the quest names and the city associated with it. I can look up those quests in my quest log to identify completed quests.


title: Isn't there a CMOS battery in Xbox 360 to preserve date&time setting?

text: Everytime a power failure occurs, the date&time setting in my Xbox 360 resets to year 2005. It's annoying because some games keep track of my progress using the date&time (e.g. Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012). It is also bad because _save data_ also records date&time and whenever I need to load a _saved data_ , it shows me 2005. Isn't there a CMOS battery in Xbox 360 to preserve the date&time setting? If there is, I'm going to suspect mine has drained. If there is not, what are my chances to preserve the date&time setting? Note: I also use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with my Xbox 360 for safety, but I have turn it off every night just because if the electricity cuts off at night, it wakes me up with an irritating warning sound.

title: How do Minecraft mobs behave in water?

text: Several questions here related to mobs and water:   1. When mobs enter water, do they swim at the top, or will they dive down?   2. Can mobs spawn in the water?   3. I assume mobs can exit water one block deep, but can they climb out from a deeper sheer edge? (Players can, right?)   4. Is there an easy way to make a shoreline mob-proof (without actually using a wall or fence?) Thanks for the help.

text: At the end of the "A Night to Remember" quest line, my follower came with me when I was teleported to the Misty Grove. Once there, I told my follower to wait. Now, when I was teleported back to the real world, my follower's not with me: presumably because he's still waiting at the Misty Grove. I've waited for some time and still he hasn't come back. How can I get my follower back?


title: Is there a correlation between my collection and the arena cards?

title: Does it count against ghosting a mission if you're seen by a weeper?

text: Ghosting a mission is defined as never even having been detected at the end of a mission. Weepers aren't exactly "sentient", really, but they have similar detection mechanics to the other, more intelligent enemies in the game. If I'm detected by a weeper, will I lose the "ghost" of the mission, so long as no other enemies see me?

Now, I have the Miscellaneous quest to ask one of the Companion leaders for work, but when I talk to any of them, there's no work option. I thought I would at least be able to go retrieve some family's bow or kill a cave bear or something. Is it broken or am I just missing some trigger?

title: Gran Turismo 5 Update 2.02 Fails (Gets stuck at 99%)

text: I just got the collectors Gran Turismo 5 for Christmas and when I load the game it asks me to update to version 2.02. It says there are **12** updates to install, and the first one is just over 600mb. I've tried to update four times already, but every time it gets to 99% on update 1/12 it fail. When it fails it givies me a weird error with the code `80710723`. Apparently, this is some sort of network error, but I am logged into PSN and my internet is working. However, I've been able to update all my other game just fine. I just recently installed updates for a different game and that worked as well. The PS3 4.0 update also ran just fine. I haven't experienced any other issues with the internet on my PS3. I've been able to play games online, and haven't had any issues accessing the Playstation Store™. I need to update GT5 to 2.02 so I can access my free cars online (the ones that came with the collector's edition) ### Can anyone help?

title: Can other forms of avoiding damage block the "Phase Shift" achievement?

text: On a recent playthrough on easy using the Stealth Cruiser; Layout 1 The Nesasio, I tried to unlock the "Phase Shift" achievement. This achievement requires that you avoid 9 points of damage in a single cloak, to this end I fully upgraded and powered the Cloak system and used it just as I saw a lot of damage coming from an enemy ship that I counted to total more than 9, but the achievement didn't ding. I even completely dodged the third stage power surge of the boss with a cloak which should have totaled 12 damage. (I got my high score off this run though :P ) This made me think that maybe the game thought I didn't avoid 12 points of damage using only Cloak, as my fully upgraded shields and engines may have helped avoid some, most likely the shields. Did I not receive the achievement because my shields would have taken off most of that or my engines alone would have saved me? I really want this achievement to unlock the Stealth Cruiser Layout 2 as I have found that Tactical Approach is influenced more heavily by luck (A Hazard being your only possible route at times.)


title: What is the simplest layout for a truck proof bridge for Bridge 1 in "The Ridge"?

title: Do magicka abilities always benefit from critical spell chance?

title: Can I use the Xbox 360 Headset for game sounds instead of voice chat?

text: I recently picked up a cheap-o Xbox 360 wired headset (one that plugs into the wireless XBox 360 controller I use). I'm not an Xbox Live Gold member, and so I don't need chat features or anything - mostly what I'm looking for is to be able to hear the game's audio with the volume on my TV turned down. However, the headset doesn't seem to emit any of the game sounds. So far I've only tried it with Fable II. Is this a result of my stinginess? If I pick up a better headset will I be able to use it to listen to the game sounds? Or is this somehow related to the game - do only some games send game audio to the controller? Or am I crazy to think that I'll be able to hear game audio through a headset connected to my XBox 360 wireless controller? Any help or advice appreciated!

text: So I've finished a dark room, but I feel like a rushed it or something and even missed out on a great revelation. When I discovered the ship, I showed the women and she gave me her locket and disappeared. At this point in the game, I was mining iron, coal, and steel and had recently built an armory, with all 80 "slaves" working on something. The newest weapon was a rifle, though I'd discovered a carbine but could not buy it. I spent most of my time using the locket to lead me to alien alloy > I'd assumed it meant foreign alloy, until the creators had to tell me I'm an > alien. I upgraded my ship to 12 and 12, and flew off, finally ending the game and returning to square one.. Is there other things I should have discovered? It feels so uneventful.

title: Swapping to Back-Up 3DS Data on different SD card - Specifically Animal Crossing New Leaf

I was wondering what would happen if I put my back-up data on a new SD card and put that in my 3DS... would my animal crossing data continue from where it was backed up 6 months ago? or would it screw things up?

title: How do I build a good defense for character in Skyrim?

text: I'm a Reguard _Warrior_ in Skyrim, but in just about every battle I get my backside handed to me. In fact my follower is stronger and can take hits better than I can, and I don't think she even equipped the shoes or vest I gave her. For instance, last night I get my bum handed to me by a Frost Troll, Regular Troll, and a Dragon for a total of 20+ plus times. Kind of makes the game un- enjoyable. I've only been able to get to level 9, due to the fact that I can't stand in a fight for 1 minute without dying. The only good things is that I find some really great stuff to sell, but no thanks to my character, thank my follower. Now I can buy some property in Whiterun. So what skills should I pump points into for a Redgaurd (I have like 5 that I have not used)? Where can I get good weapons and armor for my level? What other skills and tips can I use to stay alive?

text: Is the Moody [hidden] ability still in X & Y? If so, how is it obtained (say for Bidoof)? I've done some research that it was obtained via Dream Points in B&W (I never played them), so I'm at a loss for X & Y.

title: What are some ways to determine the cause of discs not spinning?

text: I have the original PS3 launch model (CECHA01) and it appears my Blu-ray drive has failed; it no longer spins any type of discs. But I'm unsure if this is due to the laser or a mechanical issue. What's the best way to determine the issue if I'm looking to fix it myself?


title: What attributes makes a game a Roguelike?

text: I always assumed that a roguelike was a nethack-esque game with ascii graphics, but apparently there is more to it than that. Note that I never actually played nethack and all I know about it is that is an rpg. So what makes a game a roguelike?

text: In candy crush do successive striped candies in the same line destroy two layers jelly after one detonates after the other? so for example- 2 striped candies which both detonate vertically positioned in the same line. Are they able to destroy 2 layers of jelly or even 1 layer of chocolate + outer coating of jelly?


title: Minecraft delete mods problem

text: I wanted to delete my lom mod (lots of mobs mod) because it is crashing Minecraft, but I can't because it claims Minecraft is running. However, I do not see Minecraft on my screen. I want to delete my mod without restarting my computer, my restarting doesn't seem to properly work. So I want to close javaw.exe on my task manager but it seems I have alot of javaw.exe and has different type of numbers on it (my first time working with task manager) Which one do I close?

title: Worlds Tallest Console

text: I remember seeing a picture several years ago of "The World's Tallest Console". It consisted of the first generation Sega Genesis and Sega CD, the 32X, the Game Genie,Sonic and Knuckles, with Sonic 3 plugged into it. I was checking to see if anyone has that picture or the ability to recreate it? Bonus points if you can think of a taller one. Thanks.


title: Build orders: What is the timeline & how much can each base support?

text: This is probably more relevant for Protoss and Terran players, and a similar Zerg question can be found here. Obviously each build order is different, but you never see build orders which take you past 40-50 supply (and that's on the high side already). For instance, how long should you sit on 2-gates or 3-barracks prior to adding new ones when your build order is "2-gate" or "3-Rax" respectively? In my own games I find that although I can execute the openers well, once I get out past 40-50 supply, I find myself adding more Gates or Robotics Facilities, because I want to get more units **now** , but I often wonder if sitting on 2-gates (just as an example) longer would result in a larger army and a stronger push because I would have more minerals/gas for units. So, certainly unit composition being produced will have a significant effect, but what is the average number of Tier 1/Tier 2/Tier 3 buildings each base can support with saturated mineral/gas lines, and what is an indicator that I have too few of any of the tier 1/tier 2/tier 3 buildings and should add more when transitioning past the standard race specific build orders?


title: What use is the sniper rifle in Mass Effect 3?

text: I'm wondering if ME3 is like ME2. All encounters are pretty much close or medium range, so the sniper is pretty much unused during the game. So is it good to carry the ME3 sniper around? I'm asking because they are heavy and I would need this extra reload time on my abilities.


title: Has the Cataclysm changed Northrend?

text: I re-subscribed to World Of Warcraft yesterday and have been playing on a level ~20 character with a friend. I've seen references in quests and dialogue to the defeat of the Lich King, and several prominent figures from Northrend like Thassarian hanging out in the Eastern Kingdoms. Has this progression in WoW's storyline had any effect on quests in Northrend? Will my level 20 gnome be unable to witness the betrayal at the Wrathgate and the assault/retaking of the Undercity? Does the Lich King no longer make cameo appearances during major quests? Or is the continent of Northrend surrounded by some kind of lore-protection bubble? (I'm kind of hoping it is, because man, that stuff was _cool_.)


title: I'm wondering where to find Moonstone Ore in Skyrim

text: I've been looking throughout caves and such but I can't find any moonstone. Is there a special place that I can find it (Besides blacksmiths)?


title: If the other team is split pushing and your team barely survives a 5v4, what is the best thing to do?

text: Should the whole team go after that solo lane or should you just keep trying to push with your team because your team would get picked off if split up? When does that pushed lane become a priority? Is going after that solo pusher when he's at the inhibitor too late?


title: Are there gremlins in my nether portals?

text: Ok... I'm pretty sure the nether is out to get me. I built a nether portal at (213, 14, 295), and I hopped through. After exploring the nether for a while, I returned to my portal and hopped back through, expecting to see my house. To my surprise, I appeared at a separate nether portal at (75, 50, 325). I have no idea where this second nether portal came from. I destroyed the portal, and walked back to the one I made in utter confusion. Just to double check, I hopped back through my portal. Once in the nether, I jump back through the portal. Lo, and behold! I appear at a new portal nearby the one that was at (75, 50, 325), still in sight of the place the first mysterious portal was! What the heck is happening here?


title: Can I abort a Blitzball league?

text: I am two games into a Blitzball league with terrible prizes and just became eligible to have the Jupiter Sigil added to the league prize pool. Since the only reason I'm playing Blitzball is to get Wakka's celestial weapon, I'm not really interested in playing a whole bunch of games while I wait for the 50% chance the sigil will show up. I know if I am losing a league match, I can press triangle when I control the ball and forfeit the game, but that assumes the AI scores and sometimes they don't even try. Is there a quicker method to burn through unwanted league games or repick league prizes? I'm playing the FFX HD Remaster version on PS3.


title: Can I see a detailed list where my resources are being used?

text: So according to my resources on the top bar, I can make 20 aluminum. The problem is that I'm using 17 of it which doesn't leave me with a lot. Is there anywhere I can go to see a detailed breakdown that explains what things are using some of this aluminum, so that I can get rid of them and free up some more for Rocket Artillery? (I have all the DLC)


title: Once I complete certain missions in the Far Cry 3 Story line, can I revisit old islands?

text: Basically what I want to know is this: Is there a free roam mode available after you finish the main story line? I want to collect all of the items, but I want to make sure that part of the world doesn't 'lock me out' by doing specific missions. Should I gather all items from each island as soon as possible or can I wait until I beat the game? ( This is all I want to know, Please hide all other spoilers )

title: Changing system time without affecting ACNL time

text: I just got my 3DS back from repair. They removed the batteries, resulting the system time to reset. When I started the game, my town was filled with weeds, and it was fall. I asked Isabelle to change time, but the weeds were still there. After a few days, I recovered my town to a better state. But now, the system time remains still at January 2011. I want to change it, but I'm worried about having weeds in my town again. How can I change system time without affecting ACNL time?


title: What's the order ships should go through an aleph when bomb running?

text: What's the most effective way to have your bomb run break through a camp, assuming you can't "bait and switch" on another aleph? Do you send bombers, figs or nans in first?


title: What are possible counters to this Pokémon lineup?

text: I recently saw a battle video that helped me come with this potential lineup for Double Battles:   * Durant      * Hidden Ability (Truant)     * Entrainment   * Shedinja      * Focus Sash     * Mimic   * Spiritomb      * Leftovers     * Toxic     * Will-O-Wisp   * Any Pokémon with Heal Bell or a related attack The idea is to lead with Durant and Shedinja, have Durant use Entrainment to pass its Trunt ability to an opponent, then have Shedinja use Mimic to learn Entrainment. On turn two, switch out Durant for Spiritomb and have Shedinja use Entrainment on it to pass it Wonder Guard. Should Spritomb be hit with Poison/Burn, the Heal Bell can fix it, and it can counterattack with its own status-inflicting moves. * * * So what dangers should this team look out for? Obviously if Shedinja is taken out before it can use Entrainment the whole thing falls apart (faster opponents, Rock Slide/Heat Wave combo...) but usually the risk of this happening can be predicted just by looking at the opponent's team on the preview. Aside from that, I think the only real risk is the Heal Bell user being KO'd. Are there any other risks I haven't seen here?


title: Where can you get a Tanooki Suit in Super Mario Brothers 3?

text: Where/how can you acquire a Tanooki Suit in _Super Mario Bros. 3_? The Tanooki Suit gives you the ability to fly (like the leaf/racoon tail) but also gives you the ability to briefly turn into an indestructible statue. It looks a bit like a teddy bear.


title: How can I split an army in Rome 2 Total War?

text: I got Rome 2 today and am playing the prologue. So far I am quite satisfied by the game, but something seems to be bothering me or simply doesn't work. In older Total War games you could simply build units which you could manoeuvre around without a general (a "general" would be appointed to one of the units). Now you need to first build a general and then build an army. I can understand that, men need men to follow. But something doesn't seem to work properly. Let's say I have a general with 3 units of hastati, the general, and 2 units of equites. I need to do a rescue mission to one of my cities so I select 2 units of hastati and one unit of equites and want to move them to the other city. I simply can't. Even though I _only_ selected the units needed, the whole army is moved (with its general). The same happens when I try to join part of the army with a fleet. I cannot create a new general, so that's not it. You simply can't split a unit from its general of whom it originated?


title: Connection to capitol without port

text: I have a capitol that doesn't have an exit to the sea but it is connected to another city with a harbor. My other cities are blocked by a non-friendly city state (connected via a road that passes through that city) but there is one other city with a harbor. Should I have a connection to the other group of cities? In this situation, I did not, as my cities were disconnected when I stopped being friends with the previously mentioned city state. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4GS6n.jpg)


title: Are you supposed to get mission rewards immediately?

text: I just started playing Uplink and I'm trying to do some missions. I did a level 2 mission where I have to copy a file and send it to the mission giver. I retrieved the file without getting caught. I've opened the mission description, hit "reply", and attached my file to the email and then sent. I'm definitely sending the right file (double-checked five times). However, when I send the email, nothing happens. I'm waiting and waiting and waiting. I put the speed on max and it's been hours and still no reply. I've retried sending the email several times. I'm having this same problem on other missions I've tried, regardless of type of missions. Like on missions where I have to delete files and don't need to send anything back, I still don't get any response to my "mission completed" email. Is this expected behaviour? Does it take days to get a response?


title: Replay naming in Sc2gears

text: What would be a good naming convention for replays saved by Sc2gears? I use               /D_/p1(/R1-/W1)/p2(/R2-/W2)_/n_/h./e      that will result for example in > 2013-09-03 22-21-28_Player1name(Terraner-N)Rubo77(Zerg-N)_Polar Night LE > (5)_MD5_OocBeLSHhWkWsU0aUbAeZu.SC2Replay as naming for my replays, but I am afraid I am missing something here? can they somehow be renamed for ingame too? For example, so the names in the main replay folder contain information about, who won that match?


title: Locking Xbox 360

text: To make a long story short, I need to lock my Xbox when I'm away from the house to prevent my youngest sibling from getting into it on the occasions he's left home alone. Is there a way to lock it so that he can't use it? I searched through settings on the console but found nothing to indicate a way to lock it, such as a password required to boot. Obviously I could do something like take the power brick but I want to check for a better way.


title: How can I drain power from a door lever post and charge an inactive one?

text: I know I need to use "Feedback" to drain one of the posts with levers that control the rings on the door in the "The Galvanic Butterfly Effect" stage but am unsure of how to do this. Can anyone explain please? I'm playing on XBOX-360.


title: Minecraft not starting: "Please Fix Error and Restart"

text: I deleted the .minecraft folder because I wanted to uninstall it and now when I try to open the Minecraft launcher it gives me the following message: please fix error and restart. My .minecraft folder is empty and I know for a fact that this is causing the problem but I don't know how to redownload the files that belong in .minecraft. I tried downloading Minecraft afterwards but the same thing happens. When I delete the .minecraft folder, the launcher makes a new one but it is always empty.


title: Does more trading posts mean more traders?

text: If I build more trading posts, will more trade boats show up? Seeing as trade boats are the only non-exhaustible source of stone and iron, I'd like to know how to make the most of them.


I started a game of Civilization 5 (BNW + G&K) and early on in the game I discovered a natural wonder called Cirro de Potosi, which is a mountain. When I discovered it, the advisor popped up and said that I gain happiness and get a benefit if the tile is worked (in this case +10 gold). I settled my second city right next to the wonder and I don't appear to be getting any benefit from this tile. How do you get the benefit of natural wonders that are mountains? I can't assign citizens to the tiles and I am right next to the thing, which means it is within my borders, but looking at the city screen this new city still has 0 gold output, when I was expecting 10 gold per turn. I even advanced a few turns to see if it wasn't immediate but I still noticed no change.


title: How long does the Feast of the Exceptional Rose last?

text: The Feast of the Exceptional Rose is currently going on in Fallen London, but I can't find how long it lasts? I want to know, so I can figure whether to use my Masquing now or wait to get more before getting a new companion/pet.

title: Can I automatically join a server when a slot is free?

text: I am playing Call of Duty - Modern Warfare in multiplayer mode on **PC** and play most of the time on a specific server that is often full. I have sometimes to hit `Refresh` during 10-20 minutes before I can join. Is there a way to automatically connect this server when a slot is freeing?   By any mean, a software, a script in Call of Duty 4, a web app...


title: Theme hospital end

text: I played theme hospital many times, but I have never have the opportunity to finish the game to the end. What appens when you finish all the levels?


title: What determines whether or not I get experience with each blow I land on a zombie?

text: For want of a weapon, I have been roaming around the island beating zombies to death (well, more death) with my bare fists. I've noticed while doing this that sometimes when I attack a certain zombie, I will gain some experience (usually 7 XP) with each attack I land on that same zombie, along with the bonus I get for breaking it. This only seems to happen with certain zombies, and it doesn't seem to be dependent on whether or not I'm attacking with an actual weapon or going melee. What determines whether or not a zombie will give me experience each time I hit it? If it makes a difference, I'm playing Sam B., the rapper. He is a true bro.


title: Are Dead Island's achievements counted across playthroughs and play modes?

text: I want to know if the achievements can be acquired across multiplayer playthroughs/characters and through singleplayer and co-op. I'm mostly wondering because the achievement **Busy, busy, busy** says "Finish 75 quests cumulatively," but the other achievements do not have this caveat. So for example, for the achievement **Cardio** , which requires traveling 250 kilometers on foot, will that add up when I'm playing single player as Xian _and_ when playing co-op as Logan, or not? Do all achievements work the same way?


title: Where are all the collectibles located?

text: I just found my first collectible ingame. I noticed that there are various achievements associated with finding all of the collectibles. Is there a list with the locations of all the collectibles? So I know what I'm looking for, are they all recordings or will they be other items as well?


title: Where can I find the teddy bear?

title: What shield size should I use?

text: I'm not familiar with the mechanics of AD&D at all and haven't played many games like this before (I played Dragon Age: Origins). I tried looking on the web but there was very little information. I'm a Chevalier (Paladin/Fighter) with proficiency in long sword and 1 sword / 1 shield style. Playing Baldur's Gate 1 in BGT. There are 3 size of shields, and I don't know what the advantages and disadvantages of each are?


title: Priority of dragons and shrines

text: To increase odds of breeding a rarer dragon, how should I level my dragons? Should level 10 dragons be raised to level 15 in any particular order or grouping (e.g. plant dragons first, cold second, etc.) or better to raise one of each to level 15 first? I'm also trying to take into account the max amount of coins earned in each habitat.

title: How to do Leg Grab in Mortal Kombat 4?

text: Sonya's Leg Grab is D + LP + BL, where + means, I suppose, to press/hold simultaneously. This is the only regular move that's marked with a plus and I cannot perform - I've tried a number of keying techniques. How do you press it?


title: Do weapon precision upgrades improve your squad mates?

text: I have been dubious as to how much weapon upgrades that affect precision really works for your squad mates. For the player it's fairly simple - it's easier to hit because the weapon reticle is smaller or the bullet spread is tighter. But how does it work for my squade mates like Ashley or James? Do they simply hit more often or are precision upgrades wasted on anyone but the player?

title: How do I avoid the hounds?

text: Is there ANY way to avoid hounds other than jumping into a wormhole? I still haven't really gotten past the first 25 days of the game, and hence I haven't built any powerful weapons yet. So, every time I hear something approaching, I have to start running for a wormhole. And, if I don't find one in time, it's basically game over. Am I missing something strategy-wise?

title: Optimal method of acquiring necessary gear pre-Medusa

text: I've been working on consistently getting my character of choice (lawful human Valk) to at least the midgame. Given that this type of character seems to be more forgiving, I've been rolling her for a while now just to get myself familiar with the mid/later game. One thing that constantly causes me trouble though, is getting to Medusa and not being properly equipped. What is an optimal loadout for handling Medusa, and further how does one go about acquiring those items if they are not found in the dungeon or in shops?


title: Can I replace a steward in Hearthfire?

text: Without really thinking about it, I've employed Lydia as my steward in Lakeview; but now I don't have a housecarl in Breezehome anymore. I'd like to fire her and replace her with some other follower and let her head back home. (I know that I don't _need_ a housecarl in every house but it's bugging me that my one house is now "unguarded".) I can't find any way to have a steward step down or be replaced; there's no dialog option to ask her to resign and I can't seem to ask any other follower to do the job. Am I missing something?


title: How to make a good and secure spiral stairway

text: Basically I want redo the stairway that leads to my underground area. The way this is set up now is just block after block going down. Going upwards is a pain because you have to jump. Now my underground area is at bedrock, and my 'living' area it at lever 50, so that is quite a distance. I want to make the stairway shorter also, so I was thinking about kind of a spiral stairway. I have been trying this, but I can not seem to figure this out correctly. I keep bumping my head or I have to leave a gap in the middle, which when you fall off you die. Does anyone have a good design for this ?


title: Do tasered aliens wake up?

text: In the original X-Com your little foreign buddy could wake up and run off during the mission. Does this happen in the new one, or are they out cold for the rest of the mission regardless of duration?


title: Buyers in Eve Regional Market

text: Sometimes I am able to see buyers in the Eve regional market from many jumps away. Othertimes, it seems that I have to be in the system to actually see all of the buyers in that system. I would have thought that all buyers for an item in your current region would be shown. But, it doesn't seem like it works that way, having some sort of jump limit. What effects how far I can see buyers?

title: Why is everybody suddenly scared of me at Lady Boyle's Last Party?

text: I am at Lady Boyle's Last Party, I have an invitation and everything. After taking great pains to blend in with the guests, and quietly incapacitating most of the waitstaff and the watchman guarding the service stairs (by the rum fountain), I snuck upstairs to loot the joint. As far as I know, I was never spotted while I was up there, and I stashed all the watchmen's bodies in the attic where they couldn't be found. However, when I come back downstairs, people start freaking out at the sight of me. I figured one of them must have seen me upstairs somehow, but after reloading my save a few times, I'm not so sure. I've re-loaded the same save several times, and sometimes everyone gets scared as soon as I come out of the service stair doorway, sometimes it doesn't happen until a few minutes later. It seems to be one of the Boyle sisters who notices me first each time but I can't say for sure. However, I've only talked to each sister once. So, any idea what's going on? I've already finished the mission by slowing time, choking the appropriate sister, then Blinking her down to the basement, that allowed me to get away without killing anyone but I was still Detected even though I wouldn't have been otherwise. Just curious.

title: Lock mode to Utility in NEI config?

text: So I'm running a Minecraft FTB (TPPI) server for me and some friends, and I want to lock NEI to utility mode. I found the config option:               #For those who can't help themselves.     #Set this to a mode and you will be unable to change it ingame     lockmode=-1     profileRecipes=false     utilities=delete, magnet      but I can't find any info on what to set lockmode too. I would also be able to deop everyone if I did this, so they wouldn't have to be opped to use utility mode.


title: What non-flash abilities can get you out of Jarvan IV's ultimate?

text: I want to counter Jarvan IV when he plays against me in the top lane. His Ultimate is my biggest problem, since when he uses it, the jungler can run past my ward and gank me. Flash has a longer cooldown than his ult, which is a problem. What characters have the ability to get out of his ult without using Flash? I'm most interested in top lane characters, but a list of any will do.


title: What's the fastest way to take over a portal in ingress?

text: I built up an inventory of over 20 level 1 xmp bursters, and thought that would be enough to take over a low level portal - not even close. However, I did finally notice that I did different amounts of damage to the resonators depending on where I stood. I started off standing near the portal, but only did about 1% damage to each of the surrounding resonators. But if I moved closer to the resonators, I did up to 8% damage to that one resonator, and a little bit to the others resonators in range. Is it faster to detonate xmp bursters on the resonators or on the portals for maximum damage?

title: Passing the Meat Circus level on Psychonauts

text: I've been enjoying Psychonauts immensely, and I think the difficulty progression was all fine and well - until the last level, the dreaded meat circus. I just can't make it - the protecting-flying-kid-from-rabbits thing took me numerous tries to complete, and I got totally stuck when sliding on the metal shaft, there's a double gap there I just can't clear. I try to slide fast and jump once - I fall, I try to go slow and jump twice - I fall, I try to go in- between and jump twice - I can't time it right. And I understood it gets even harder after that part. Can anyone share any tricks in passing that level, or is there some sort of patch to address it, or anything?


title: Text in Torchlight on Linux disappear when leveling up

text: I have a bug in Torchlight Humble Bundle Linux. When I level up and want to select the upgrades the fonts of the whole screen change when it's run with `sudo` to blocks and when it's run without `sudo` they disappear. ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KyLA9.jpg) As you can see the faces also disappear but this is a known bug and it doesn't change the game's playability. But the disappearing fonts are really annoying. How do I fix this? I am using Linux Debian Wheezy 64 bit.


title: How do I recover lost achievements?

text: A few weeks ago my cousin recovered his Gamertag on my Xbox 360 because we were playing Xplosion Man at my place and he wanted to get the achievements. Some time after, he started playing Red Dead Redemption at his place (and in his Xbox), getting almost all the achievements. Because his Gold membership had expired, he didn't bother to recover his Gamertag on his console, but when he finally did, all the achievements he had gotten on Red Dead Redemption were lost. Is there any way to get them back? His game files are OK, so now it looks like he has 100% of some stuff but no achievements to go with them.


title: Does the "Iron Will" perk add will bonuses randomly?

text: From the wiki:               Iron Will - §200          Soldiers receive a larger Will bonus each time they are promoted.     (Adds between 2-10 extra Will increases per promotion on top of the default +2)      Does this bonus of 2-10 occur randonly or is it based on something like performance during the mission(s)?


title: What are all the ways a country will leave the alliance?

text: From limited observation, I believe that a country will leave the alliance if it is at max panic (5/5) at the time of the monthly report to the council. Are there any other reasons why a country might leave outside of the monthly report, or if their panic level is not maxed?


title: What is the benefit of launching a satellite "a few days before the monthly report"

text: I've seen this hint in the game as well as on this site and I've been wondering if there is any specific advantage to launching satellites closer to the monthly report rather than any time during that month. The way I see it, monthly maintenance costs are taken out during the reports (correct me if i'm wrong), so regardless of when you launch it during the month it would cost the same. Is the benefit of holding on to them longer simply a safety net in case some countries go into the red during that time?


title: Does Fable for Kinect give you the option to go back to a save point?

title: How to invade a whole kingdom in Crusader Kings 2?

text: I'm am playing as England. I wanted to invade Scotland and Wales. When I try to fabricate a claim I only get a claim on a county, not a whole kingdom. It takes a lot of time to capture a kingdom that way and when I try to fabricate a claim on the Capitol of the kingdom it doesn't work. Is there a way to declare war on a whole kingdom?


title: What should I consider while looking for a hard drive for PS3 12GB?

text: What should I take into account while searching for a hard drive to extend storage of PS3 Super Slim 12GB? The three things that seem natural are:   * speed - 5400 or 7200 RPM? Is the there any noticeable difference in OS/games performance?   * HDD cache size? Again, any impact on e.g. loading times?   * compatibility (any problems with cheaper drives / from less known producers? is there a maximum HDD capacity PS3 SS can handle?) Are the above indeed crucial? Or maybe there are other factors more important? Just note I want to go for internal 2,5" non-SSD SATA drive.


title: I'm a little confused when it comes to handing out duchies/emirates, who should I give them to and what should I do with them?

text: From playing alone I've already ascertained that having too many duchies = bad, and from what I've gathered from Google the strategy is to possess two duchies for yourself, holding all the counties within them, and hand out all the other duchies to dynasty members with no titles alongside two counties individually, or last resort to unlanded courtiers with Content trait. Is this right, and what is the maximum amount of titles I can give to somebody in this respect? In my case, I hold 6 emirates, the biggest of which is the Emirate of Sicily, which over time has somehow managed to accrue 11 sheikhdoms within it, none of which I hold, with 6 and the most of which belonging to some guy who hates me. Being the most powerful emirate, should I keep this one and just this one seeing as holding all the sheikhdoms in it already fills my demesne size of 9 plus more, or do I not have to have /all/ the sheikhdoms within it? My capital is Rome, belonging to the emirate Latium which holds 4 sheikhdoms, me owning half of them, should I definitely keep this one alongside another that will sufficiently fill my demesne?


title: Mouse Cursor Won't Display in Full Screen Games

text: Whenever I run a game full screen, if it doesn't have a custom cursor built into the game, I basically can't play it, because for some reason, my system mouse cursor simply won't display when I run any game in full screen. I know it's still there, because I can see menu item rollovers animating when my cursor passes over them, so with some doing I can usually navigate my way to an option screen to run the game in a window. But still, this is just silly. What could be causing this?


title: Salary, detaining and interrogating

text: I have a few closely related questions regarding interrogating and detaining, and their effect on how much money you can make. Does salary depend on anything except the number of immigrants passing through your booth (ignoring the ones which incured penalties), and doesn't really care about whether or not they pass? Is the exact formula simply the number of immigrants times 5? (In particular, is it prudent to try and detain someone as opposed to just turning him back to save time and process more immigrants?) Is there any point in interrogating immigrants in the first days, before you can detain them, or is it just a waste of time? If not, is there any point interrogating them about things that won't get them detained, like an expired passport, as opposed to simply denying them (until the point when you have to stamp the reason for denial, at least)? Especially in cases of discrepancies between what they say and what their entry permit says. They always weasel out of it and there seems to be no point talking to them, at least as far as money is concerned.


title: Is the secondary attack the same as primary?

text: Some equipment do not have a secondary attack like the engineers blowtorch, but others looks like there is no difference between primary and secondary attack. When using knives as Stealth or medkids, ammo boxes or daisycutter as support is there a difference between using primary or secondary attack(right and left mouse button) even though it looks the same?

title: Tips for swapping modes from PvE to PvP

text: I have an 85 affliction warlock on a PvP server. My question is, what do you other PvP folks do when you're in the open world in terms of equipment. Are you always in PvP gear in the off chance that you run into someone to PvP against and then swap into PvE gear when you're questing/raiding/instancing? Also, macros and commonly used spells change when you're in PvP mode vs PvE mode. Heck, you might switch talent trees all together. I might prefer to use affliction during PvP and demonology during PvE. How do you guys handle such situations on PvP servers? Do you roam the open world with your PvP talent enabled and PvP gear equipped and only switch to PvE mode once you're at the PvE destination? How do you manage your macros/spell bars? Equipment looks straight forward enough with the built in equipment manager, but I'm still curious if you travel the world in PvP gear by default. I'll mark the thread with the best overall response as the answer.


The Minecraft wiki suggests this: > ![The layout](http://i.stack.imgur.com/SBzWZ.gif) ...with this being the key to the diagram. The way I read it, the set and reset wires run into two blocks. On the opposite side, put a torch on the set side, then run a wire back to the block opposite reset. Above this wire lies another block where a new wire starts and leads to the output. Obviously this has to be the wrong way to read the diagram, as the reset and output wires are connected to anything. How can I make a S/R latch with adjacent inputs?

title: Is a Champion a good tank?

text: I often run into trouble looking for groups in LOTRO, so often I use whatever I get. Often, a Champion is willing to join, but considering the way Champions burn down health in exchange for damage, I'm not sure if this is a good idea... I know what the tanking classes are (Guardian and Warden) but I actually meant, would it work?

text: In Gears of Way Judgement, you can re-up - similar to the 'prestiging' in Call of Duty. The problem is though, I would like to know how many times my opponents have re-uped. The current symbol for re-up #1 looks like a bronze star. I think the #2 re-up looks like a bronze star with a circle around it. Can anyone help me out with some sort of key or reference ? I heard you can re-up 11 times.

title: Have updates significantly improved the quality of Aliens Colonial Marines?

text: The initial release of Aliens Colonial Marines was a crushing disappointment for me. The game is just shy of one year old now. I'm curious as to how playable the game's campaign and online modes have become. Reviewing Gearbox software support's update page it looks like they've put a good bit of patchwork into it. Have any of these changes resulted in a serious improvement to the game's quality?

text: Googling "EV calculator" I see redirects to IV calculators (Which I'm not looking for), and this is understood as you really can't tell the effort values of a pokemon from their stats.

Any hints?


title: Does guardian shield affect brood lord attacks?

text: Pretty self explanatory. As I understand, the broodlings from a broodlord have two different attacks: the first attack is an air attack (using air upgrades), and subsequent attacks are melee ground attacks. I guess guardian shield has no effect for those subsequent attacks, but what about the first attack?


title: Can I restore Steam game files that were on C:\?

text: I've installed Steam do my D:\ drive, and reinstalled windows without backing up most of my files on C:\. I then installed Steam over the old directory. I can run all of the games I had installed, but there are some ties to the OS missing. Can I repair my game installs somehow so that they get back what they're supposed to have on C:\? I don't mean savegames and settings files. This is a general questions, but what prompted it is a problem with a mod installer. In this specific case, I want to install the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky Complete mod using the installer, but it can't locate my STALKER CS installation. I'm guessing it just checks the registry. I've got version 1.5.10 of the game, and the download page says it should support that.

title: How can I draw the attention of ("ping") other Minecraft players to a specific point in space?

text: In multiplayer Minecraft play, is there a way to visually draw the attention of other players to a point in the world? Much like the "ping tool" in Portal 2, or to a lesser extent, the minimap ping in Starcraft. I am mostly interested in using this in _creative_ mode, especially when all players are already nearby and I want to direct their attention to a single spot in a room. I am using a Bukkit server, so answers that relate to that are also acceptable. If it's not clear, the Portal 2 ping tool looks like this: ![Portal 2 ping tool](http://i.stack.imgur.com/a33YJ.png). There's an animation that is visible no matter where the player is looking (even away from the target, even on the other side of a wall), and then it focuses in on the point of interest.


title: Is the Paragon Gold Find bonus exempt from the cap?

text: In patch 2.0.1, Paragon levels were completely reworked to grant bonus paragon points that you can invest in stats and perks to strengthen your character. One of the options for Utility points is increasing Gold Find, at a rate of 1% per point, up to a max of 50%. However, Gold Find has a cap of 300%: ![Maximum Gold Find Tooltip](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Scbcq.png) I presume that the massive gold find bonus you get from higher difficulties is exempt from the 300% Gold Find cap, as it wouldn't make sense to offer rewards like 400% Gold Find if you couldn't use it all. However, I'm less certain about the Paragon Gold Find bonus. Is the 50% Gold Find you can gain from Paragon levels also exempt from this cap, or are those points wasted if you happen to have a lot of Gold Find on your gear?


title: How is conflict resolution calculated in Castle Vox?

text: The help file for Castle Vox is vague: > Conflicts are resolved by the game according to the attack/defend values of > the units involved. And here's all it says about the attack/defend values: > The pawn has a strong defensive value, but a weak attacking value. > > knight has a weak defensive value, but a strong attacking value. > > Castles provides an extra defensive bonus. It doesn't give specific numbers , if there are any other factors (such as a random die roll), or what formula it uses to crunch the numbers.

title: What do I need to know about dungeons in World of Warcraft?

text: I have always played World of Warcraft on my own; mainly because I don't play enough to build relationships with other players, and because I don't feel committed enough to having other start relying on me to log in every day / week. Lately I am getting a little bored and feel like involving myself in the multiplayer parts of the game, like the dungeons, would make it more enjoyable. Thing is, the game is filled with people who spend hour and hours playing and have tonnes of experience. I haven't used the dungeon feature before and I'm not that experienced in the game. I want to try the dungeon feature, but I don't want to end up annoying the other players by not playing well enough or as expected. I don't understand all the terminology that people use referring to items, skills or tactics. I also don't really understand a lot of the game mechanics that are more important when playing with others, like threat. I'm concerned about ruining the dungeon for others, which would deteriorate my interest in the game. If I play a dungeon with others, what is expected of me? I suspect each class has its set of common tasks, but I don't know what they are. Are there some general rules / expectations that I can read about before I try it out? What is the worst thing I can do if I give it a go?

But with both of them active would that mean it double slows, thus also stacking?

text: I have been trying for ages to get my minecraft to use more RAM, but it refuses to allocate more than 20% ram on my 4G computer. I want to allocate 2G, so the first method I tried was to type this into the **JVM Arguments** box in the **edit profile** option in the new launcher. This is what everyone told me to type in:               -Xms2048 -Xmx2048      Unfortunately after typing this in, saving my profile, and running minecraft, I get a window that pops up that says: **there was an error in the Java Virtual Machine**. Is there anyway I can get minecraft to allocate more RAM? I also tried going to Java and changing the settings there, but it still didn't work.


title: What's this grey bar doing in my war assets?

text: Early on in the game, I took a look at my war asset screen, and didn't give it a passing thought. I've recently come back after doing a mission to see how many points it provided me with, and I noticed this: ![Mass Effect War Assets screen with freehand rectangular pointing device](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tTc0G.jpg) I figure the blue bar is the current asset amount, and the "minimum" line is fairly obvious. However, I don't quite understand what the gray bar (outlined by the orange rectangular thing) is for. Is it some form of a bonus meter? Maybe it's the potential amount of assets currently available to pick up by side quests? What is this grey box doing in my war assets screen?

Sometimes you really fancy the idea of capturing all of these cities whole to maximize the production of that precious spice. How can you go about doing that? Do particular weapons have a greater chance of destroying cities instead of capturing them? Does the number of turrets or buildings matter? Are allied ships a boon or a hindrance when trying to capture cities?


title: Compatibility of US Rock Band equipment with Australian Wii? (RB3 in particular)

text: I want to pick up the wireless keyboard for Rock Band 3 for Wii. In Australia, as far as I can tell, only EB Games has imported it, and it costs nearly $200AU for the pleasure. Including shipping, it would only be about $100AU to order the keyboard from the States. However, PAL/NTSC compatibility and region-locking issues are making me uneasy in that regard. Obviously, the game itself will be region locked (and I'll probably buy that here), but what about the peripherals?

I mean, let's take Shen for example. How should i decide making him a pure tank or an offtank? 2)Tanks/offtanks are Solo-top champions or they could replace a support champion? 3)Gold making itens are essential for them, like it is for support champions? AD CARRIES 1) How can i improve my positioning? Sometimes i have trouble understanding what's going on on a teamfight...even when my team is winning i'm kinda bad at reading the situation... 2) Auto-Atacks or mouse clicking for minion farming? 3) Life boost itens like warmog are essential for an ad carry? I know that there were some changes in this season...some friends told me, since the BT is more expensive than it was, the ad carries were investing in warmogs... BOTH How can i improve my understanding in a team fight? I mean, as i said in my 1) question for ad carries, i have some trouble understanding the team fight...who should i atack or focus, who should i protect...etc etc..

title: What does 100% Paragon or 100% Renegade actually mean?

text: When discussing the variety of endings to the game, one ending is conditional upon your Shepard being or having 100% Paragon or 100% Renegade. > The ending where you convince the Illusive man to shoot himself in the head. Does 100% mean that you've filled the bar completely or does it refer to 100% of the choices you made were P or R? Since at least one option seems to bestow 5 renegade points on you, whether you want them or not, does that mean the ending is in fact only available on a renegade path? If you've missed a paragon pop up could you end up with too few points or are there more than enough to fill the bar all the way? (I am thinking specifically of the pop up where you comfort Steve Cortez after he puts his picture at the grief wall in the temporary housing area).

title: What is DI and how does it affect me?

text: The other day, I was playing both Smash Bros. Brawl and Melee with some friends and, making note of the fact that they were often surviving to much higher percentages than myself while playing the same character, asked them how they keep their stocks for longer periods of times. They told me that my problem was that I had "horrible DI" and that I should try training my reflexes to react accordingly to being hit. Although I had no idea what they were talking about, I was unwilling to enter into a large discussion and risk being pointed out as a complete newbie. As a result, I simply nodded and smiled. Now that I'm out of that environment and into a much more anonymous one, I'll ask here instead: What is DI? How does it work? Can I perform it with all characters?

text: The Asari Vanguard is way different than my previous style of play. With Human Vanguard I Charge in, I punch things in the face, and they die. Good times. But the Asari Vanguard has different Skills; they seem much more focused around firearms than melee. I can't seem to make good use of Lift Grenades or Stasis (and I'm unsure how to upgrade either until I figure it out). The melee shockwave is nice but leaves me vulnerable. The teleport is nice and fast but eats my Barrier. What can I do to play this character effectively in Multiplayer? What guns should I use and what skills are important?

text: The problem that I'm currently encountering is that the authentication server is down. I can start Minecraft and select "play offline". I then attempt to connect to a survival multiplayer server, and I receive the message "Failed to login: user not premium".


title: How fast are those planes really moving?

text: Even though the listed speed for planes are 951 km/h and the listed speed for maglev trains are 643 km/h, the trains seems to be moving at a much faster speed. In fact, I have a section of track that ran right by the flight path and the train regularly speeds past the planes. Are planes worth the effort since their so high maintenance and are at risk of crashes?


title: What's up with generic disapproving diplomatic statements from other civs in Civilization 5?

text: So every so often I'll get a message from one of the AI players, something along the lines of "If it isn't my favorite City-State" or something similar. Usually my options for response are along the lines of "You'll pay for this" or "We're sorry this has caused a divide between our people" or "Very Well". What's up w/ this? Is there some way I can find out what the other Civ just did?


title: What does F2P mean for League of Legends?

text: I downloaded League of Legends a couple of days ago, and from what I understand, it adopts a Free 2 Play model. But what does it mean at the end? What kind of limitations or penalties do I have if I decide to not spend money on it?


title: Can item spawn with over cap hero/tower stats?

text: The cap for upgrading a hero/tower stat on an item is 420 but can an item spawn with higher stats or is that an indication that it is a hacked item?


title: Does the Multiplayer Asari shockwave deal as much damage as a normal Heavy Melee?

text: I got the Asari Vanguard character in Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, and I'm finding her strong melee-a Biotic shockwave-a bit tricky to use, compared to the old fashioned Biotic Punch. **Does the Asari Biotic Shockwave deal the same damage when close up?** Is the damage fall off particularly sharp? I can still kill enemies with it, but I can't seem to one-hit kill normal enemies with it with the same ease I can with my Human Vanguard. Am I not getting close enough or does the attack simply deal less damage?


title: How do I fly down from a high ledge?

text: I was stupid and flew to a high ledge in _Fez_ , and now I can't get down. I've been trying to fly/float down slowly, but I get the "You have fallen to your death" sound, and I automatically respawn at the top just before touching the ground. Someone wrote that I can float down there if I press A just as I'm about to hit the ground, but since I respawn before I can get to the ground, that solution doesn't apply.... Does anyone know of any solution to this? Any secret reset spawn point code?


title: Is it possible to capture a webspinning forgotten beast / titan?

text: I would dearly like to cage trap a web-spinning forgotten beast (or other procedural creature, like a titan) so as to make a forgotten beast silk factory. (Yeah, I know giant cave spider silk is worth more. I don't care; having things made out of FB silk is _awesome_.) Unfortunately:   1. All procedural creatures have basic trap immunity.   2. The usual workaround for that, webbing on the cage trap, doesn't work because webspinners are immune to webs.   3. Procedural creatures also cannot be stunned, so luring them into cage-trap-paved areas and attacking them doesn't (as far as I can tell) seem to result in them ever losing consciousness and getting trapped. So, does anybody know of any methods that might work? Maybe circumstances where an FB might be rendered unconscious other than by the usual stunning? Or a strategy I'm overlooking? Or are they just uncapturable?


title: Best strategy against Worker Rush cheese in 2v2 and other matchups

text: So basically some players have started to just attacking with all their workers right from the beginning of the match. I have encountered this is 2v2, where it sort of works (I guess because of the fact that they have 2 sets of workers, attacking 1 player (who has 1 set of workers), at least until the second player comes up to help (if he does)). So I am not sure if this works at all in 1v1 or other matchups, but anyways. What would be the best reaction to this?

text: Is there any way to ditch Rambi in Donkey Kong Country Returns?


title: How do I use zbot in Counter-Strike 1.6?

text: I'm quite an old fan of Counter-Strike. 3 or 4 years ago I was able to play Counter-Strike 1.6 with the Condition Zero bot (also called zbot). This bot is quite awesome as it it well programmed and automatically creates its waypoints. I extracted everything as always in my cstrike directory, but apparently the bot doesn't load for some reason. Any ideas?


title: Where do I go after Team Plasma attacks in BW2?

text: Team Plasma attacked Opelucid City (Black 2) and froze up the place. I must have mashed A few too many times and now they're gone and I have no idea where to go. All unexplored towns are blocked off for increasingly implausible excuses and I don't see anything else in Opelucid city to do. I beat all the plasma grunts and some named Plasma big-shot, they took the DNA Splicer, and I beat the guy blocking the exit (but I see nothing of interest past that exit). Where do I go after getting the 7th badge? I obviously need to go stop Team Plasma but have no idea where to go now that they've left.
