title: What exactly does "Safe to leave" means?

text: When one of your team members disconnects at the beginning of the game and doesn't come back in certain amount of time, the game is set to "Safe to leave". I did some research on that subject, and almost everyone has different opinion on it. Some say that when the game is marked as "safe to leave" you wont get an "abandoned" point but will get loss while some say you'll get neither. So what exactly does "Safe to leave" does? If you leave the "Safe to leave" game and start another, will it count as loss? If you continue playing the "Safe to leave" game and you win, will that win count? If the game gets marked as "Safe to leave" does that means someone from enemy team can leave the game too and not get any loss or abandon point? In case you don't get loss nor abandon point when you leave the "Safe to leave" game, what happens if you decide to stick untill the end and you win or lose the match. Will those wins/losses count?


title: Stopping a deceased character from following you

text: If a character dies whilst following you, are you therefore free to recruit a new follower? I have tried to recruit a new follower and each time I am informed that I currently "already have someone" when I do not. I will certainly re-check the residence of my follower to see if perhaps they are still there but what are my options if this is not the case?


title: Which Characters Are Missable?

text: I remember there being at least one "secret" character who could be missed if you didn't talk to him before you leave the first town. A turtle I believe? Which characters can be missed if you don't perform certain actions throughout the story?


title: Do villagers always sell first?

text: From the minecraft wiki, I can see that each villager begins with one trading offer which must be accepted before it can trade more offers. In my test world, every villager I've clicked on has offered to sell me things (as in, asking for emeralds in exchange for goods). They are capable of buying things (asking for goods in exchange for emeralds); is there something in the algorithm that prevents their first offer from being a "buy" offer (so I can get emeralds to trade to other villagers) or do I just have bad luck?


title: Alternatives to the Blizzard Downloader as a means of downloading Starcraft 2?

text: Last time I tried installing the game using the download client it had uploaded more data than the one I received and took so much time to finish. Is there an (official) way of downloading Starcraft2 directly, or a sanctioned torrent instead of using their download client? or any alternative method, as long as it's from trusted, legal sources

title: How do I perform an instant-kill mêlée attack?

text: In Tomb Raider multiplayer, there's this one player who is able to kill me with a semi-cinematic mêlée animation that isn't a stealth kill. Whenever I perform a mêlée attack, I just deal damage but not an animation like theirs. How do they do it?


The new Elite: Dangerous store launched yesterday, allowing the purchase of a variety of packages including;   * Preorder Elite: Dangerous   * Standard Beta   * Premium Beta ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/f2ScZ.png) What are the differences between "Premium Beta" and "Standard Beta"?


title: How can I take out a Heavy using the Huo-Long Heater?

text: I was wondering if there was any way for a spy to stab a heavy who had the Huo-Long heater deployed without getting set on fire. The ring of fire seems to come out at intervals of flame no-flame, but every time I have tried as spy I've always ended up set on fire. So aside from the obvious "stab when he isn't shooting" is there any way around this weapon's effect?


title: How do you get all seven premium knives?

text: On the premium calendar it says you get five knives, but there are seven knives marked as premium content on battlelog. Do you get the other two randomly by opening battlepacks while being a premium member, or is there some other way to acquire them?


title: What is the point of Lester's "Locate a car"?

text: As the title says, what's the point of Lester locating a car for you? It's the same vehicle, in the same place every time for me (an ATV at the race track). I've seen suggestions that it's so that you can get a vehicle that's not stolen, but if you have to go to a specific place to pick it up then it's pointless. I may as well just go to my garage and get a car there. I was (as were most people) under the incorrect impression that you would be able to specify what car type you were looking for, which would be **great** for collecting high value cars for Simeon, so it's disappointing. Or am I missing something?


title: Do you have to pay cleaner costs even when the mission is aborted?

text: Per the question Who pays the cleaner? we know money for killing civilians comes directly out of your spendable money. But do you still have to pay the cleanup crew if you quit the mission (disconnecting from server, suicide by cop/gravity, time machine, etc)?


title: How to remove personal data from PS3?

text: I've decided to get rid of my PS3 by donating it to a younger brother. This means that I want to totally purge all data on it such as user accounts, save games, credit card details and the like before I give it to them. (I love my little brothers but they aren't getting my credit card number or owt). Is this possible? Does Settings > System Settings > Restore PS3 System option actually do this? I did look for other questions before posting this one but they all seemed to be about removing user accounts and not the whole thing.

title: Which communication method is most efficient?

text: I'm playing Kerbal Space Program 0.22 and I've just unlocked the **Comms DTS M1**. It looks better than the **Communotron 16** but is it more efficient? Specifically is the throughput or electricity use better? ![Comms DTS M1](http://i.stack.imgur.com/vJOO1.png) **Comms DTS M1** OR ![Communotron 16](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6kNBp.jpg) **Communotron 16** I don't really understand the transmit data action. How does it determine the throughput and electicity use? **Edit:** There's also the **88-88** , if you could factor that in to your answer, that'd be great.


title: How many endings are in the 2013 edition of The Stanley Parable?

title: What are the Christmas easter eggs for Minecraft 1.7.4?

text: I went to play some Minecraft and noticed my vanilla chests are looking quite festive today: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/X5TNY.png) The single chests are red, double chests green. I ran around for a bit but didn't notice any other differences. What other changes can I expect for Christmas?


title: Naruto Ultimate Ninja FINAL endings?

text: Okay, so I have just finished all the Scenario's for each character, and done every Practice - A-Rank Mission in Naruto Ultimate Ninja (the first one), and got to the S-Rank missions.... that's when I realized you have to be crazy to do them (if you have played the game you know what I mean; the missions are using every move or every character in the entire game, collecting 9,999,999 ryo, collect the thousands of different items from the Shop one at a time, etc.). I have an obsession with beating my games 100 PERCENT, but I am not willing to put in insane amounts of boring time to do those missions. So my question is, what endings do you get when you beat all the S-Rank missions? And what endings do you get when you collect everything from the Shop?

title: Nintendo DS WiFi Support

text: I still have the original DS and can only get online by either using WEP or no security at all. This is an annoyance since my security is set to WPA2 on my router. **What type of WiFi security do each of the DS models support?** I guess that also leads to another question, do certain games only work on certain types of WiFi security or is it solely based on the DS itself?


title: How do I create a hidden staircase?

text: I'm currently trying to create a hidden set of stairs (made of whole blocks, not stair blocks) by having pistons stacked on top of each other, so that when it's deactivated it looks like a flat surface, but when activated the stairs raise from the ground (similar to a lot of action adventure/RPG/puzzle games, think Zelda). The problem is pistons don't behave nicely when pushing and pulling each other while active. I figured out I need a delay so each layer could activate one at a time, but the problem is I need the order of the delays to be in the opposite order when activating compared to the order when deactivating. When opening, the bottom layer has to activate first, because they won't activate under an already active piston, but when deactivating it needs to deactivate last, because they can't pull an active piston. I am also relatively new to red stone circuits, so maybe the solution is easy and I just missed it, but some direction would be appreciated. ![stairs properly closed](http://i.stack.imgur.com/RD4Jg.jpg) ![stairs open](http://i.stack.imgur.com/QNFrU.jpg) ![sairs closed after first opening](http://i.stack.imgur.com/L1pgc.jpg) ![very rough initial setup](http://i.stack.imgur.com/co6AI.jpg)

title: What is the most productive use of early game gold?

text: My first character, my first 10k of gold. What should I be doing with it?   1. Bigger stash   2. Level up the blacksmith   3. Gamble   4. Purchase key items when available   5. Save for later   6. Something I haven't seen yet This was partially answered on my previous question but I'd like to put all the choices I see out there for advice. My gaming time is limited, so I'm not likely to fire up a dozen characters to try out different things. Thanks for any assistance in making the most of this character!

title: Opening UFO doors

text: ![The door.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OOWA4.jpg) Somehow, I can't figure out how to open the exterior door of a UFO. I'm pretty sure this thing opens; I've seen enemies open it, and I've seen Youtubers open it. Nevertheless, the usual door-opening controls aren't working. I've tried clicking on the door, and I've tried pressing V, and neither worked. What am I doing wrong? Am I standing in the wrong position? Is this not a door? Am I missing some sort of door-opening technology? I'd experiment, but I'm on Ironman, and I'd rather not risk losing my soldiers to figure this out.


title: How do I survive my first night?

text: I'm on my first night at Freddy's, and I can't seem to get past the first night. The issue is if I keep the camera on room 1A then the monsters/bots don't seem to do anything, and my Power keeps going down, but the time doesn't seem to go by. Once they start to move they gradually get closer to the Secruity Room, and then I'm forced to lock the door. Typically I can survive until 4AM, or 5Am, but usually my Power will run out then I die. So, how can I survive the first night at Freddy's?


title: Have portal gun crosshair highlight when focused on a "portal"-able target?

text: From what I remember, in the original Portal the crosshairs of the portal gun would "illuminate" when you were focused on a target that could support a portal. However, I noticed that in Portal 2 the crosshair is always illuminated. As such, it's not as easy for me to determine if I'm focusing on a target onto which I can make a portal - I have to fire the portal gun to find out. Is there a way to turn this feature on in Portal 2?


title: Do enemy ships have limited missiles/drones?

text: Is it possible to wait for an enemy ship to run out off missiles and/or drones so that I can focus killing their crew with less pressure? If so, are the quantities fixed or random within some range?


title: Is it possible to save Longsword in the final mission of Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising?

text: So I've been playing Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, and I'm on mission 11 - Dragon's Fury. The first objective is to support Longsword's advance up the valley - in order to do this, you need to flank left and then destroy a tank with a Javelin antitank missile. Every time I approach the point where I could launch the rocket, I get a message from Dagger One telling me that Longsword is taking casualties and that I need to hurry up. Before I can get the Javelin out and fired, Longsword loses one of their tanks. I think I've played this mission three or four dozen times now and I've never been able to save Longsword One. Is it possible, or is losing LS1 part of a scripted event?


title: In Siege Mode, how can I destroy the battleship without the anti-aircraft?

text: In the Siege Mode, I saw players destroying our battleship while we had control of the anti-aircraft.   Are there other hidden weapons that can help to destroy the battleship ? Or is just possible to destroy it with the mech's weapons (and in that case, how) ? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/O8dud.jpg)


title: Is there a way get a fighter jet on demand?

text: I ask the question because it seems like I saw someone do this. I was in a helicopter and picked a fight with someone on the ground (tried to drop a car on him). Within a few moments a fighter jet appeared over the garage he was hiding in. It proceeded to blow me out of the sky (no problem with that, I had it coming). We were nowhere near the military base. Is there some way to keep a jet in a garage or order one up (i.e., from Merriweather or Lester). I looked and can't see any option like that.


title: What effect does framerate have on mob spawning?

text: Prior to 1.6 I had set the video option "limit framerate" when trying to eliminate a persistent hang problem (which finally went away when I dropped my view distance from "far" to "normal"). I also built a large (80x30) mob spawner that could go 8+ _hours_ with nothing spawning inside. In fact, often when the mob spawner would dry up I could wander through caves for hours and never have any monsters spawn at all. With "F3 radar" I could see that nothing was spawning anywhere around me. I suspected a bug. In 1.6 Notch un-limited anyone who had previously limited the framerate. Since it didn't matter I left it unlimited. **Now my mob trap spawns mobs.** And my typical framerate is only about 3x what the "limited" framerate was, so it's not linear. **I was wrong**. I had one good session in the trap (4 or 5 stacks of gunpowder in a few hours) but I parked there overnight and got absolutely zero items.


title: Does proximity to a fire station affect building flammability?

text: In prior installations of the Simcity series, the main factor in the flammability of a building was proximity to a fire station. In this version of Simcity, it is not immediately clear whether this is a factor at all. However, it does seem clear that education level has a bearing on building flammability. So my question is, **does proximity to a fire station have any bearing on building flammability, or is it only driven by education?**

title: Infinite item source for creative mode?

What I mean is - I want to have a block like chest, barrel from _Factorization_ , storage unit from _Minefactory Reloaded_ or items monitor from _Applied Energistics_ but with ability to store **infinite** amount of items (for example by right clicking with this item in hand on storage block). I want be able (in creative mode) to pump items from that storage block without any limitations by _BuildCraft_ pipes, _Thermal Expansion_ conduits or _Computer Craft_ turtles (especially _Computer Craft_ turtles). Is it possible some how?


title: Does including extended material in FTL make it more difficult to complete the game?

text: I ask because I previously completed it on PC before the new material came out, but I've since been playing it on iPad with the new material (i.e. new races, systems, etc) and I am unable to get past the first boss stage, despite trying various strategies over about 10 attempts - 4 of which have got to the final boss. My only theory on this is that the increased variation in the game means there's more to contend with, so the game is harder, meaning you're less prepared for the final boss.

title: Why do my ferrets glow?

text: I'm using the ferret rune for companion. Now I have 2 ferrets running around collecting gold and adding paltry DPS to my arsenal, which is awesome. What I don't understand, however, is why they keep glowing when they pick up gold. It doesn't happen every time, but it only happens when they collect gold piles. They will get a giant blue glowy shield (far, far larger than the size of the ferret) for a few frames, then it will go away. It comes with a sound effect and everything. What is going on? Do these ferrets have some kind of extra ability on top of the stated tooltip?

title: How do I remove the limit on PC keyboard button presses?

text: Whenever I play a PC game with the directional keys, I can only press two buttons at a time. For instance if I am playing a shooter like R-Type, I cannot hold down the fire button while moving diagonally at the same time. The computer simply ignores the extra button press. How do I remove this limit so I can shoot while moving diagonally? This limitation seems to apply for every game. I am running Windows 7 if it makes any difference. I noticed the same problem back when I used Windows XP.

title: Scaling Borderlands 2 chests in DLC

text: I've played through Playthrough 1, went and killed the Leviathan in the Pirates DLC, played a bit of Playthrough 2 (1/4th of the way), then I went and beat the Pirates DLC on that playthrough. I was lvl 45, so the loot at the end of the DLC was of that lvl. After playing some more in normal Playthrough 2 (up to lvl 50), I decided I wanted better loot, so I went to farm the Leviathan chests again, but it is still lvl 45. How do I get it to scale up to me at lvl 50?

title: What are the keys for in Starseed Pilgrim?

text: I've just started Starseed Pilgrim, and there is one thing I don't understand. If a plant touches a black box, the plant starts to get contaminated, one cell at a time. If the character touches a black box or a contaminated cell of a plant, the character falls in another dimension where black boxes are keys, cells of plants are empty spaces, and empty space is solid rock. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sryQ9.png) I have tried collecting as many keys as possible. But every time, I have to hold "H" to make the character die because he is stuck in the other dimension, so no progress in collecting keys. What do they open? Can I skip collecting them without worrying about that they might be useful later?

title: When do republics start making trade zones?

text: I created a vassal merchant republic in my kingdom. It is now several decades later and the merchant republic seems to own zero trade zones. The republic is in the Baltic and there are no competing republics in the area. Also, AI republics in the Mediterranean (Venice, Pisa and in my current game Lukania) have generated wide spread trade zones. I have looked at two of the heads of the patrician families of my vassal republic and they have plenty of cash, certainly enough to build trade zones. Since the AI has plenty of money, this should mean that the reason for not building trade zones is not that it's prioritizing other construction. Would the AI save up money for something before it builds trade zones? Are there some conditions the AI must fulfill in order to start building trade zones?


title: What does the crown on this icon mean?

text: I noticed a small, yellow crown on my character icon while in a co-operative game today. I was the party leader. Is that what this crown indicates? ![Diablo 3 Portrait Crown](http://i.stack.imgur.com/iYFp6.jpg) **Updates:**   * For the record, I found this after further searching, but it does not add much.   * I've posted the question here, too.

text: I noticed that when the aliens appear they eat my fish if they get close. Will they just eat the guppies and the carnivores, or do they eat the pet fish as well (such as the snail, the swordfish, etc)?


title: What to beware of when dwarves are reliably sealed in a fortress?

text: Once I walled up all the entrances and thought that I'm safe. I managed to make the fortress quite stable, i.e. resources are replenished by dwarves and they always stay happy. But eventually I started to lose dwarves faster than they breed. This is a list of causes of deaths in a sealed fortress which are easy to forget about. Please help me amend it:   * Dwarf is scared to death by a ghost which I forgot to bury before sealing the fortress.   * After few years clothes fell apart, which caused surprisingly severe bad thoughts and led to tantrum spiral.   * Dwarf fell into strange mood while I did not have a certain type of workshop. He went insane.   * One of dwarves turned out to be a vampire and killed a number of dwarves before he was caught. Moreover, I had to kill the vampire as well, i.e. lost one dwarf more. So, what can be added to this list? What else to beware of?


title: Why was one of the Roshan drops made to be "Cheese"?

text: I've always wondered why the item that drops after killing Roshan three times was made to be Cheese. Is it known if this is some sort of inside joke among the game developers, a reference to the original Dota or another game, or something else entirely?


title: Maximum Dark Notes?

text: Is there a maximum amount of Dark Notes one can get? I don't seem to get any after #42 (I've already got some notes lvl 90+). Also, is there any way to get an access point to simulate to get more through streetpass - kinda like people have been doing with Pokémon X/Y, making home routers to emulate nintendo pass zones?


title: Getting Error When trying to play Counter strike 1.6

text: Everything was fine, but after a 123 MB update of Steam, I tried to connect to a server and it says "Cannot continue without script events/awp.sc, disconnecting." I get the same for every server. I saw some files that gets downloaded when entering the first time in the server after the update:   * gign.mdl - which I think should have been there before as its the model   * galil.something - It's the clarion type which should not be downloaded again as it gets installed before. Could not launch new game also as the process is exiting. I am Using Ubuntu 13.10. Steam icon before this was normal with square shaped and valve symbol within it.after the update it becomes round with blue colour. How can I solve this?

title: Seifer's Scar And Related Plot Points?

text: In Final Fantasy 8, the nurse and Quistis make a big deal about Squall getting his face cut during the opening sequence wherein he is having a training session with Seifer. Why do they not make a big deal about Squall returning the favor and giving Seifer a similar scar? Why does Seifer not have a similar bandage, lest he have blood spewing everywhere? Why do they not yell at Squall for returning the blow?


title: Where can I find a blueprint for Sushi?

text: I've been searching for a long time, and I recently got into exploring the variety of recipes and food in starbound, and I discovered that sushi has some of the most beneficial effects available for food considering the effort involved. Much googling has been fruitless, so I really need to know, where can I find the blueprint for sushi in starbound? My character is floran if it makes any difference.


title: How do I make Christmas last all year?

text: With the holiday season coming to an end, the time left to enjoy our presents, the Frost Legion, and Santa Claus is short. As a fairly casual player who hasn't yet made it to hardmode, I'm worried I won't be able to unlock everything before I miss the opportunity. Is there a way to keep "holiday mode" active? As an alternative, is there a way to access Santa or the Frost Legion without holiday mode?


title: Which weapons do force fields affect?

text: I've been playing the SC2 "Star Battle" custom map, and have had a hard time understanding how the force field really works. From the wiki: > Forcefields will block all enemy lasers and missiles within their area of > effect. Will force fields affect ultimate weapons? What about interceptor attacks or fighter attacks? I'm experimenting with a carrier-interceptor build and I want to know if I should target force-fielded enemies.


title: Can we still farm iron?

text: I heard a lot of changes have been made related to iron golem farms. There's an atmosphere of pessimism around iron golem farms after 1.2.2. I'm gonna follow this tutorial on creating an iron golem farm. The title says it is compatible with 1.3.2 but I'm not that sure. What has really changed during the history of minecraft regarding iron and iron golems? Can we still properly farm iron golems? Is it worth it?


title: Can you restore Roman Empire as a pagan?

text: I am playing the Old Gods DLC, started in the north as a Pomeranian duke, formed the Wendish Empire and have now reconquered much of the Byzantine Empire, whose title I have usurped. I stayed as a (reformed) pagan. I seem to remember that the Byzantine Emperor has two unique decisions available: mend the schism and restore the Roman Empire. Being a pagan, it makes perfect sense that mend the schism is not available to me. However, I would have expected the Restore the Roman Empire decisions to be available. To clarify, I am not saying the decision is greyed out, it is not listed as a possible decision _at all_. Are there some conditions I must fulfill before the decision will appear as an option (even if greyed out)? It would be great to know the exact list of conditions.

title: LostWinds - Stuck on Start Screen

text: I know this question is very dumb, but I really have no clue. I purchased LostWinds lately for iPhone/iPod Touch. After playing for a few minutes, I wanted to end the game for resuming it later. I tapped the door-button to quit and since them, I think I'm stuck on start screen... I already tried to play the wind and to tap anything but I really don't know how I can continue the game. Does anybody know what to do now? ^^'' ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KESft.png)


title: How to play Minecraft offline?

text: I just lost my broadband, and am left only with mobile devices with any online access. My main PC is offline - and it seems the newest Minecraft launcher doesn't believe one can have no network access. As I start it, I'm asked to log in or register or choose my existing account.. It seems all three options fail without network access, and I can't pick anything else (there's no UI other than the login). I can get any software to that PC using a pendrive, or edit whatever locally but I have no way to get it online currently. How can get Minecraft to start?


title: Do the effects of relics like the Vault Hunter's Relic stack in co-op?

text: ![Vault Hunter's Relic](http://i.stack.imgur.com/HHK3W.png) Do the effects of relics like the Vault Hunter's Relic, stack in co-op? The effect of the Vault Hunter's Relic is _+5% chance of enemies dropping rare loot_. Will this +5% chance increase if more than one player in co-op mode equips the Vault Hunter's Relic? If yes, how does it increase relative to the number of players? Also, do the other similar relics behave in the same way? e.g. What about _Moxxi's Endowment_ (Increase XP gained by killing enemies)?

title: What can I expect from a Minecraft Server running FTB with 3gbs of RAM?

text: My rented (fragnet) server has 3gb's of RAM. I have not the slightest clue what this means for my server. (This is the only information they freely give on the server, I'm in the process of attempting to acquire more information.) I'm interested in knowing what I can accomplish or allow on the server with this amount of ram. Information I'm interested in includes but isn't necessarily limited to, how many players can play at once before quality of gameplay is hindered, how many estimated chunks could be realistically loaded at one time before gameplay is hindered, what tasks or endeavors use what is considered 'large amounts of ram' and how much ram is considered a 'large amount'? My server is running Feed The Beast, so please take this into consideration with your calculations and estimates. Edit: Ok they have replied to my forum post, this is their exact reply; > All of our machines are equipped with enterprise-grade hardware from > reliable brands. In the case of Minecraft server hosting machines, they are > all running out of Intel Xeon E3 series of processors with high per-core > performance (E3-1240v2 / E3-1270v2) which is optimal for running Minecraft > servers.

title: What does the Drift attribute represent exactly?

text: I have been trying to get a feel for what high or low Drift might mean for controls. I'm still unsure.   * Does high Drift mean the car sticks to the road less, allowing easier drifting?   * Does high Drift mean the car, on the contrary, sticks to the road?   * Assuming high Drift means no adherence... does low Drift mean high adherence? Experience seems to prove otherwise: most basic cars have all low values and yet start drifting if you take too-tight turns.   * Could it be strictly related to dirt roads? I've noticed cars with high Drift are sometimes also "rally" type cars.


title: Skyrim thieves guild

text: I just finished restoring the theives guild to its former glory and become the head master. I have heard that every fence near the ragged flaggon is suppossed to have 4000 gold but for me only tonilia has 4000 gold the other fences still only have 500-1000 gold.

title: Why will iron door bottom not break when Minecraft updates a random block for every chunk?

text: Sethbling reliably uses iron door bottoms for force fields in his creations, but (why) aren't these prone to getting updated when Minecraft chooses them at random to make them update, thus breaking them? Is it about the height level of them? Or maybe the gamerule doFireTick?

If so, do they show up on my radar & how much extra XP do you earn?

title: What are the different artifacts I can collect in Temple Run 2

text: I have noticed that with the latest update of temple run 2, there is a new challenge called artifacts that has appeared. They seem to appear in chests. You acquire them just like other bonus items and they seem to come in random order and time. I have also noticed that you can acquire more than one of the same artifacts. You only know what the artifacts are after the games has been completed. All of them, yet, are rings (infinite loop ring - which I have acquired twice). Is there a comprehensive list of artifacts and Is there some expectation of when I can acquire all of them?

title: How does the hit/dodge rate in Disgaea series work?

text: Is it only based on SPD and HIT? Do different weapons matter apart from their stat modifiers to HIT? Does the opposing monster type matter regardless of base stats? When will a character's attacks always miss another character? (Formula?) Do the hit/dodge mechanics vary by game? Primarily curious about Disgaea 2 in particular so I can min/max the opponent levels in the Red Waterfall zone for early powerleveling, but will give points for insight into dodge mechanics of other games in the series as well.


title: Table of dark souls II casting speeds for spells.

text: I've been trying to find casting speeds for spells. I've been pvping and good melee pvp people are able to dodge spells 100% of time time, and can chase me down and stab me for free. I'd like to add a spell with high casting speed to put pressure and stop the abusive free stabs caused by my low casting times. I've been googling a lot, and i have not found any casting times charts. This is a kind of resource that would be published by the developers of the game. I don't think anyone has this kind of info. Anyway to find it? Should i just time every spell of the game myself?

title: How do I know which cranky old dude does the best god impression?

text: I've reached the point in King of Dragon Pass where I want to HeroQuest as often as possible in order to ~~score sacks of phat lewt and mad XP~~ secure the future of my clan, honor the gods, and ensure their blessings for our tribal ambitions. Sadly, it would seem that the various interchangeable old people that make up my Clan Ring didn't pay attention in Sunday School or thought it was a good idea to not wear their magic underwear or something, because in spite of adhering to the myths perfectly, most of my HeroQuests fail. I have a Trickster on my ring, am dedicating 2 points of magic to Quests and another to Mysteries every Sacred Time, generally attempt each quest with ~10 points of magic in reserve, and one of my allies is usually good for 40 extra worshippers. I always send a worshipper of the relevant god in to impersonate their deity of choice, and yet, I fail nearly every Quest. Hell, in spite of only attempting once per year, half the time I can't even get in to the Godsrealm. What stats should I be looking for from the people I send on quests? Is it Magic? Combat? Custom? Is there anything else I can do to improve my success rate?

title: Does it matter how long I stay at the strip club with a friend?

text: Sometimes when hanging out with friends, like Brucie and Jacob, I take them to the strip club. However, I'm rather impatient with the whole standing around a strip club doing nothing thing so I only wait a few seconds and then find my partner to leave. When I do that, they always comment that they weren't in there very long, yada yada. I'm wondering, does the amount of time I actually spend in the strip club matter, or affect how much my Like % will go up for that person? Or does it only matter that you actually went in?

Does your current level come in to it, or is it just determined by location (i.e. the further you are away from the starting point the better the items)? Just wondering if it's worth looking through the items in the earlier vending machines, or if that's just a waste of time.

title: Which of my items should I take on missions?

text: I find a lot of junk that I want to sell to make money. Some things I can take with me when I explore, but my carrying capacity is limited. Should I only take what I need from an area, with the hope that later I can return to that place and pick things up to sell? The biggest problem for me is that its hard to know what people will buy and if I don't have at least a sample I won't know how good the buyer is.

title: Can I control my fleet mid-battle?

text: I picked up Gratuitous Space Battles from the newest indie bundle pack and I've made it through the first few missions but I feel a bit out of control while the battle is going on. I can't find a way to influence the battle once it is under way and my ships don't always make the greatest decisions on who to fire upon at any given moment. Is the game essentially out of your control once you set the positions of your chosen ships and their general priority settings? Is there anything I can do mid-battle to help my side?

title: Using Mules to ramp up Terran Economy

text: After watching some of my replays, I realized that when playing against other Terrans their economies jump significantly larger than mine even though I don't keep unspent resources long (average unspent about 200-300), and I think it's due to the use of Mules. Is this true? Do Mules significantly impact the initial economy size of Terrans? I realize that one Mule can produce about 250 minerals at no impact to supply requirements, and that the rate they pull in minerals is significant. So, my basic question here is that if I'm not using Mules I really can't hope to compete economically with a Terran who is?

text: The parrot zombie is rather annoying on some levels as it seems to randomly select plants to pick, often times my twin sunflowers in the back row. How does it choose which plant to go after?

title: 3D Anaglyph Gaming (FIFA10 & Quake3/ioquake3)

text: I'm organizing a gaming event, which will have _FIFA 2010_ and _Quake 3_. We want the audience to be able to see the action in true 3D, so we're going to make use of anaglyph glasses. For this, we'll be using **ioquake3** and **iZ3D**. My questions here are:   * iZ3D doesn't seem to support Quake 3, though it says it does... or does it?   * Can you spectate on a Quake 3 match using ioquake3?   * What is the best way for adding anaglyph support to Quake3?   * Is anaglyph support even _possible_ in Quake4?   * What is the best way to achieve what I want to do?   * Is "spectator mode" possible in **any way** in FIFA 2010? **It's _okay_ if you don't know the answers to all of these questions. Tell me whatever you know. Thanks**

title: Are Templars a cheap answer to carriers?

text: In the same vein as this question: What's the best counter for Protoss Carriers? It strikes me that templars are an excellent counter to mass carriers. Would utilizing Psi-Storm a couple times against carriers deal enough damage to destroy them? I imagine that a group of templars and a mothership would probably make this possible. Maybe vortex would also be of use here? Or will a mothership/templars combo be destroyed too quickly to counter them?

title: What does creep affect?

text: I'm fairly new to the game and am trying to get better as Zerg. From watching some replays of higher level players, I often see Zerg players spreading creep like crazy as fast as they can. My question is, what exactly are the things that creep affects? I know that Zerg units walk faster on creep, but are there other benefits? Things like:   * non-Zerg walk slower   * Faster health regeneration for Zerg   * Damage bonusses for Zerg So can anyone shed some light?


title: Do different hunters have different projectile speeds?

text: This question is more of a confirmation of my "feelings". Do Hunter's projectiles travel at different speeds? For example, Anhur's thrown javelin looks and 'feels' slower than Ah Muzen Cab's ... whatever he shoots. Is it simply a trick of the eye because Ah Muzen Cab's projectile is much smaller? I've had considerably more trouble landing hits with other hunters (Anhur being my main) which doesn't really make sense if they all have the same projectile speed.


title: level.dat_old appears to be corrupted, any way to fix it?

text: I have a Minecraft world that won't show up in the "Singleplayer" saves list. I tried creating a world with the exact same name and replacing all the files in that folder with the files from the broken world, and through that, I've narrowed it down to one file: level.dat_old. I don't know how this level.dat_old can be so important to the game (I'd think level.dat would be more important, and _old wouldn't even be used by the game, a kind of emergency backup). If I replace everything except that level.dat_old, the save shows up, but when I try to play it, it loads the new world I created, instead of the one I'm trying to rescue. I've also tried copying the level.dat, and renaming it to level.dat_old, but that results in the save not showing up in the list. I even tried pulling down the files from a backup I had, but I think they might have already been corrupted. Is there any way I can fix this? I thought about trying something like an NBT editor, but I'm completely unfamiliar with those, so I don't know how that could possibly help.

title: What does it mean to "convey X physical damage over Y seconds"?

text: Using context clues, one can assume that, in this instance, convey means "deal". However, if you lookup the word convey, you'll see definitions like these:   * Transport or carry to a place.   * Make (an idea, impression, or feeling) known or understandable to someone. Nowhere in any dictionary have I seen this mean "deal" or "administer". What are we doing, making the enemies understand the damage they are being dealt? In all seriousness, though, I am going to go with the definition of "to take X damage and divide and deal it out equally to a target over Y seconds". However, I just want to be sure.


title: Halo:Reach Matchmaking Campaign

text: What happens when you use Reincarnate ('Destroy a minion, then return it to life with full Health') on a minion that has the Ancestral Spirit deathrattle (Give a minion "Deathrattle: Resummon this minion.)? Does it result in two copies of that minion? Also how does it effect minions like Harvest Golem that summon a minion on death? Additionally, what interesting plays can occur using this combo? I assume the combo + Baron Rivendare would be hilarious in conjunction with a card as strong as Cairne Bloodhoof

title: How many times can you get Moxxi's Good/Bad Touch weapon?

text: Possible spoiler: if you tip Moxxi $15k, she'll either give you Moxxi's Good Touch or Moxxi's Bad Touch. Does anyone know how many times you can tip her to get the weapon? FYI: I tipped her $15 at level 11 and got a level 11 Bad Touch, then I tipped her again at level 15 to get another level 11 Bad Touch. Now I'm over level 18 and I have tipper her over $60k and I still haven't gotten a new weapon from her. So based on my experience (on the Xbox 360), you can only use this twice, but I have read else where that there's no limit and the weapon scales to your level (which it did not for me on my second attempt).

title: Is it easier to break into the military base at night?

text: In GTA Online I was flying around the military base (Fort Zancudo) in a helicopter at night, looking for what vehicles are there. I thought that flying over the base would make me wanted, so I carefully stayed outside. When I spotted fighter jets I decided to risk it and flew over the base, but didn't gain any wanted level! So I flew around for a few minutes, and only got 4-stars when I landed. It was pretty easy to run to the jet, kill a soldier who spawned next to it and fly off. From what I've read, breaking into the base should be a lot more difficult. Was this just a one-off, or is it easier to break in during the night (or something else)?

title: PS3 lost network whilst patching Injustice: Gods Among Us, and now won't re-download patch

text: Recently I've encountered a problem. Well, it wasn't a problem at the beginning, but now my PS3 can't even start downloading a patch. What happened step-by-step:   1. I booted my PS3   2. Started the game ( _Injustice: Gods Among Us_ )   3. PS3 asked if I want to download and install the update   4. I chose "YES" and waited   5. At around 84% (or so), my internet went down. When it was back up, PS3 wasn't able to continue the download, so it was still calculating(and adding) the time remaining.   6. After a while I turned it off (by holding power button)   7. Repeated steps 1-4 again   8. PS3 wanted to start downloading the new patch, but all over sudden it beeped a few times and rebooted itself.   9. Repeated steps 7 and 8 a few times   10. Deleted the game data to return the game back to version 1.00   11. Tried to install patch again - and got the same problem (as in step 8) Since then I can't install a new patch on that game. I didn't try installing patches to other games, but I think that it shouldn't be a problem. So the question is: how can I fix it?

title: What are the underlying mechanics of Ammo bag and Medic kit in Payday 2?

text: Very similar to this question, except for Payday 2 instead: Do medic and ammo bags run out after a certain number of uses, or after a certain amount of health/ammo dispensed? I'm trying to figure out how the Ammo bag and Medic kit work in Payday 2 so that I can optimize use of them. I haven't been able to find any reliable information about their underlying mechanics - but I have discovered plenty of conflicting accounts. I suspect some of it may be from early beta. It appears as though the Ammo bag depletes based on the amount of ammo picked up. It's certainly something more complicated than a simple number of uses... sometimes it disappears after two uses, sometimes after many. I'm not clear on whether or not it is helpful to deplete secondary ammo before using the ammo bag, or if this simply uses up twice as much of the ammo bag. If it's simple a quantity based thing - then optimal use would probably be to only use your most effective ammunition, and recharge as often as viable. It appears that the medic kit may be a number of charges as it was in Payday: The Heist. This would mean optimal strategy is to only use it when very low on health. Can anyone confirm, contradict, or elaborate on these hypotheses?


title: Which games do I really need to mount in a Garrys Mod server?

text: Up until this point I've had TF2 and Counter Strike:Source mounted on every server regardless of the gamemode. I want to cut down on HDD usage. Which games do I actually need to mount for different gamemodes? Some people have half life episodic mounted too which I don't think is important for my gamemodes. My gamemodes are:   * TTT   * Prop Hunt   * Murder   * Deathrun They all have very little custom content.


title: Is there any reason to hang out with people?

text: Throughout the game, you are able to call people and ask them to "Hang Out". You can then take them out to either a bar, movies, stripclub, etc. I know in Grand Theft Auto 4, there were perks given to the player that completely developed a friendship with someone. Is there any reason to "hang out" with people in Grand Theft Auto 5?


title: Skyshard/Sky Crystal Farming

text: Are there any good or known farming spots for Skyshard to drop? I have spent several hours farming the Mogu in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in an attempt to get the ten Skyshards needed to craft the Sky Crystal. I currently only have one of them and came from the mogu during my farming. I do now for a fact that some mobs change/disappear depending on the dailies that are available that day. So my question is: Where is a good farming spot in Vale of Eternal Blossoms with minimal downtime between mobs.


title: Can I copy my mod configurations from a save to another?

text: The mod configuration menu (or MCM) included in SkyUI is amazing, but it resets all mods back to default settings every time I start a new character. I have a lot of mods and I'm forced to spend maybe even an hour per character setting things up again in the MCM due to the 104 mods I have, most of which are pretty large. Is there a way I could copy all of my mod settings from my earlier character to my new game?

title: How is the Quality Well in Old Tristram Unlocked?

text: As the title states, what are the conditions that need to be met for the Quality Well in Old Tristram (Act 1) to become available? For those who do not know what I'm referring to, there is a well that looks like a standard sprite in Old Tristram and sometimes this sprite will fill up with water and you can battle the zombie QA team from Diablo 3. I have yet to see the well filled with water and accessible, so I was wondering if I needed to meet some hidden prerequisites or if it's a truly random Easter Egg. Here is a video of another player accessing and exploring the well for reference.


title: What is the earliest act of inferno where you can find the highest item level?

title: Clash of clans goal

text: I've been playing Clash of Clans for 4 days now. After the 3-day beginner's shield was lifted, I was attacked and suffered 100% damage. I thought, that was it, this attacker has taken over my village and now I have to build a new village. But no..the village was still mine, my buildings were not _actually_ destroyed, and I was awarded a 16h shield, and I could still continue to play. So I don't understand...what's the goal, or eventual result of the game? What I initially thought was, clans would fight each other and the last remaining clan in the world is the winner. On an individual level, I figured destroying an opponent's town hall will give me his village , then I'll have 2 villages to manage and stuff like that.. But no, you can still play after your village has been destroyed 100%... So when do we truly lose or truly win in this game? What is the goal to be achieved?

title: Countering terran's initial rush in 2v2 co-op vs hard AI

text: Related question (but not quite duplicate): How do I learn to effectively transfer to 2v2 hard AI as Zerg? We're playing Zerg and Protoss and using co-op vs AI as a training ground to practice the macro cycle before experimenting on the ladder. We're having a problem defending against terran during the initial rush in 2v2 vs the AI. We can both beat the hard and very hard AIs individually, and we can easily beat 2v2 hard AI by cheesing (the AI especially doesn't like being cannon rushed). However, as we're trying to practice macro, cheesing seems counterproductive. The problem is, the hard AI predictably moves out around 6:30 with an aggressive timing push which is quite difficult to hold with "normal" openings. If we go up against two Zergs or Protoss, we can hold reasonably effectively. If we have one terran opponent it's a bit scrappy - if one of us fast-expanded we usually lose the expo, but we can usually kill the AI's expansions in return and go on to win. If we have two terran opponents we can't hold. I've had a quick look over our replays and we're not doing anything differently in the matches we're struggling with. The causal factor seems to be the terran. The timing push consists of around 10 marauders and 12 marines. It hits around 7 minutes. We'll usually have 8 gateway units (3 zealots, a stalker, a sentry, and one round of warpins from 3 gates), an immortal, and around 30 zerglings.   * Do we need more (or different) units?   * Is there an obvious counter I'm missing?   * Is there anything you can think of that we're likely to be doing wrong in the opening?   * Is 2v2 vs AI just not good for this kind of practice? As I say, we're trying to practice macro, so we'd rather avoid doing anything obtuse - e.g. it's pretty easy to 1v4 hard AI if you cheese + exploit the AI's weaknesses (the AI _hates_ being cannon rushed...), but that's not very good macro-cycle practice. Thanks in advance!


title: Completing the final room of "Kumoon"?

I wouldn't be surprised if nobody else here has played this little 3D physics gem, but if you have, maybe you can help me out. ### I cannot figure out how I'm supposed to pass the final room (room 39) of this game. I've tried everything I can think of, but no luck. Any ideas? * * * ![Screenshot of the game.  Looks fun, dunnit?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Algod.jpg) Note: Even if you haven't played Kumoon before, I sincerely suggest you give it a try. It's a tiny download, and surprisingly entertaining. It should only take you maybe 45 minutes to get through it the first time, depending on how quickly you get the hang of it, however **make sure** you read the Kumoon homepage for information about scoring, or else you'll be completely lost on how it works.

However, my happiness soon turned to disappointment when I found that the chopper was not an option on CoD. To reiterate my question; is there a way in which I can maybe unlock the chopper motorbike for demand or is there one or several spawn points for them?

text: It seems that a recent Steam update increased font size in chat to 'improve readability'. Unfortunately, this only changed the font size in the in the conversation area and nowhere else in the chat window, making the interface jarring to use. How can I change it back to the way it was before? * * * As of May, 6, another Steam update changed the chat input font to about 16 points (screenshot), and there doesn't seem to be a corresponding styles setting to adjust its font size. Is there a way to adjust the friends chat input font size?


title: How do I make my Hatchi weigh more?

text: I'm currently on the second stage of evolution (child) and I want to get my Hatchi up to 13lbs or more in weight. The problem is, even if I keep feeding it meat, the weight is stuck at 12.7lbs. I'm on the Android version of the game at v1.05. As of right now, I ensure that all the bars on top are filled in, plus I feed it whenever I have the chance. What do I need to do to make it weigh over that 13lbs?

title: How exactly does the new 100+ button Rock Band 3 guitar work in-game?

text: I know there is a new guitar being released that has buttons laid out to simulate frets by putting them in 6 rows of however many buttons. I have a few questions about how that guitar actually works in the game.   * If I were to buy this guitar, could I also use it to play the non-pro versions of guitar tracks? That is, the tracks that have 5 colored buttons.   * Can I use this guitar to play bass parts?


title: How do I start as fast as the AI cars?

text: In practically every racing game I know there is some way that makes your car accelerate faster and/or spin out less when the lights turn green at the start. Be it watching the fingers of a character floating on a cloud (Mario Kart :-P) or having the RPM in the yellow zone etc. Yet somehow, even after beating all the world tours and X-Games, I still haven't figured out how not to be in last position just after a start in DiRT 2. That I don't drive a car in real live does not help either. So: **How do I get the best acceleration at the beginning of a race a) in DiRT 2 b) in most realistic racing games.**

title: Does a Pokémon Crystal game degrade after playing a lot?

text: I have an official Pokémon Crystal game and after playing more than 450 hours I see that my game is degrading, or I don't know why is this happening. Imagine that I have a _Feraligatr_ in the first place of my team, well, if I'm battling against a _Parasect_ (let's say), and he does **thunder wave** the first turn always appears: _"It doesn't affect to Feraligatr"_. But on the second turn the _Parasect_ does the same movement and this time it affects to _Feraligatr_. Is this supposed to happen? Or is it just a glitch?

text: So I'm doing the tour called "Operation Mecha Engine" and I have completed one map, and now my progress is 1/3. And so I was wondering do I have to complete the other 2 maps to make progress, or do I need to, or can I play and make progress on the same one I already completed?
