title: How to view regular tribute of our fraction to/from another one in Rome Total War?

text: In the game, when making a diploma deal with the enemy, we have the option to offer/demand a regular tribute e.g. paying 100 diaris for 4 turns. My question is after we offer/demand and get accepted, where would we see the history list of all regular tribute items?


title: Minecraft PE outdated server

text: My old modem was malfunctioning and I had to get a new one. However, now my girls can't join each other's games in Minecraft PE. Their iPods are both connected to the new wifi and they can sync apps. It is only in Minecraft PE that they get the message "Server Outdated" or "Outdated Client". They spent a lot of time creating some of these worlds and are pretty devastated that they can't join together. Any ideas?

title: How can I keep NPC allies from randomly joining me in the middle of a map?

text: My understanding is that the game gets harder later, but right now in the early levels it's a total cakewalk. I don't bring any NPCs with me when I go to a dungeon, but they automatically pop in along the way as I go and by the time I hit the final boss, I've got 2 or 3 NPCs in my party, making the fight something I can pretty much just sit back and watch. Is there any way I can keep the NPCs from joining my party?


title: Why do I have an invisible bomb?

text: I'm doing the Tuchanka: Bomb mission and I seem to have arrived at the location of the bomb.

This is what it looks like from a few paces away: ![invisibomb](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Np39h.jpg) I've searched the immediate vicinity, but I don't see anything else to interact with here. What can I do?

title: Is 720p the max resolution in 3D mode in Gran Turismo 6

text: Just downloaded the latest patch for GT6, to see that the game now supports 3D. However, when I select 3D mode, my nice and crisp 1080p is degraded to a quite grainy 720p, and I can't find a way to increase the resolution. (My Philips 42" TV has passive 3D, and only every second scanline seems displayed in 3D mode, making the effective vertical resolution something like 360p, which is quite frankly disappointing, and nothing near the great image quality I get in 1080p). Is 720p really the max resolution for GT6 in 3D? I can't find any online resources with definitive information on this.


title: How to use the phone?

text: In Untrusted, I got to Level 7, where I can get the phone, and create my own JS function. I saw from the demo that I can change the colour! Great! So I figured I'd write a nested `if... then` statement, saying if I'm one colour, switch to the next! Apparently, that does not work. I then tried to change my colour to white (#fff), thinking the collision check would accept white as all colours, and open the locks. **What can I put in this function to change me as needed?** ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/UeTFb.png)

title: Is my Xbox One temperature normal?

text: I have a new Xbox One, and I'm very worried about the temperature it's reaching. After only 30 minutes of playing Forza 5 or Titanfall, the top ventilation grid is at **50ºC (122ºF)**. I'm measuring it by placing a tiny thermometer on the top grid, which means that the actual temperature may be a little higher. It even smells a bit like burnt plastic. Well, not exactly burnt, but... it reminds me of a hair drier, when the plastic gets hot. The console is placed horizontally in a well ventilated spot: nothing on the top, nothing on the sides; there is a wall on the rear side, but it has a 6 cm (2.4 inches) margin. Also, I've read that if the Xbox One overheats, it will automatically shutdown itself to prevent damage to the system. That has not happened to me. So, my guess is that the temperature, despite being high, is not _too_ high. In fact, the only part of the console getting hot is the top ventilation grid, the rest of it is warm, even cold... which seems to be normal, too. Anyway, I'm very worried. Is it normal? Is it too hot? Should I return it to the store? _PS: funny side note - I've contacted with the always wonderful Xbox online support team. They have told me to try plugging the console in a different wall socket. You know... in case the electric current in this one is too hot? :)_

title: High ping on local server?

text: I have been playing America's Army Proving Grounds for quite a while now and I have always played on international server with a ping of 300 to 500 which was very bad and laggy but I had no choice as there was no local servers for me to play on until about 2 months ago when a few local people hosted their own server. I could then play with a ping of about 50 to 80 which was great. I played like that for about 2 months until now when my ping is suddenly no lower than 250 on the local server I have been playing on all this time with a 50 to 80 ping. I asked the host of the server if his ISP is having problems but he said no and that the ISP was fine. I also did a lot of research about this but couldn't find anything that works for me. Can someone please help me get my ping back to 50-80 on one of the local servers? I am out of ideas and nothing seems to work.


title: Use Certain Commandblock commands with @p or @a

text: So, I originally wanted to attach the `/playsound random.orb`, when the scoreboard objective Bow got a value of 1 which was tracking `stat.useItem.minecraft.bow`, So when the player shot an arrow the sound would play, but if the player got too far away, the sound would not be heard. So I then tried to summon a Mine cart Command Block relative to the player using `@p` ,which would activate using an also spawned redstone block which would be removed instantly however the `/summon` and `/fill` commands don't support the `@p` or `@a`. Or any way to track player coordinates then use them to spawn blocks. I couldn't think of another way to make the sound occur everywhere when a player/one player fires the bow.

title: Can a casual, 'bad' player compete with other casual, 'bad' players around the same skill?

text: Is there any way or skill system in League of Legends to challenge people around the same skill level? Basic story: My friends and I get together for gaming once a week for a couple hours. Normally, this is the only time we play video games due to getting old, having a wife, kids, job etc. The few times we try to play League of Legends to relive the glory days we are stomped so hard our team k/d ratio is 1/20ish. Will the system eventually pit us against other players of somewhat similar skill levels as we are just playing un-ranked mode or does skill of players not get calculated in this game?

title: How to build quickly in Red Alert?

text: In many replays, I have seen people place their buildings (eg factory) very quickly when they finish building in the construction yard (CY). They do not even click on the icon of the factory. When it's ready in CY, they just press something on the keyboard and they can then place the factory right away, without having to click in the right construction menu first. What hotkey can do that? Red Alert 1, 2 **Update** Ok it seems that in RA2, you just have to press the tab hotkey. Ie for normal buildings it's "Q", for defensive buildings it's "W".   Source: @ 6:00 So now the question is how to do that in RA1, if it is possible.

title: Is the Elo system in League of Legends accurate?

text: I'm confused about how Elo could work properly in a game such as League. The Elo rating system was originally developed for 1 versus 1 chess games as I understand it. So, how could it properly show you _your skill level_ in a game where your victory or defeat hangs on the additional requirement of the skill levels of people other than just you and your opponent? (Meaning that the skill levels of the _team mates_ matter as well.)

title: How do I pour the wine in the correct order using the glyphs?

text: All this wine is making me sick, I'm trying to work the cellar glyphs: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KgLOi.png) I've poured every type of wine in, but every single one hurt me. Checking the wiki, it says: > To determine the order of the wine to pour, look at the three glyphs that > are around the center big glyph. Each of these corresponds to a wine and you > need to pour three wines into the drain pipe in the order corresponding to > the glyphs on the top, lower left, and then lower right. It also says: > If wines are poured in the wrong order, the assignment of glyphs to bottles > may reset. In other words, if the snake glyph was assigned to Port before > you erroneously poured, it might be reassigned to Muscat after. It's going to take me forever to guess the correct sequence, unless I'm missing something?


title: How can I configure a gamepad in Planetside?

text: Recently I downloaded the Original Planetside. I want to use my logitech dual action gamepad with it, however, I can't seem to configure the buttons on the controller in game. Particularly, I went to the joystick menu in the game and was able to set the left thumb stick to look up, down, left, right and the other thumbstick to strafe left and right. The drop downs only provided options to select the 2 axis's on the left thumbstick and the horizontal axis on the right. I wasn't able to configure any of the controller buttons. They do appear to be detected by the game, as they light up in the settings menu when I press the corresponding button. However, I cannot map them to any game function. This is an old game, others are bound to have done this successfully. Also, this is one of the most common models of gamepads for pc gaming. Has anyone successfully confured this, and could they provide a tutorial on how. * * * **Update:**   This is a recent screenshop of the in game menus. The issue where one of the joystick's axis did not appear in the drop down seems to have resolved itself. However, I am still at a loss in how to configure certain controls to the gamepad. I can configure strafing and the direction the camera points to the joysticks, but I still can't find how to set forward and backward movements to the joysticks. ![The Joystick Configuration Menu from the game](http://i.stack.imgur.com/g3jVv.jpg) ![Keymapping menu from the game](http://i.stack.imgur.com/55Okb.jpg)

According to TES wiki, you are supposed to be able to fire the Dwemer Ballista in order to kill him, but that doesn't work.

I've read that a weapon is less effective if you don't meet the requirements, but what are the exact effects? Is the damage reduced, or the accuracy or something else entirely?

I've realised that I've not earned all the medals - obviously I've been to methodical and not gone around causing mayhem and killing more people, spiderants, and opening more boxes, etc, etc, etc. How can I have missed out on so many medla when I have killed most things in front of me and have been everywhere, and opened as many chests as I can as I've followed the story line? So, what's the next stage for a Borderlands fan?   * Can I play it again with the same character; at the same level that I am now, but face tougher opponents early on?   * Do I change character and try someone else? And would that start me from level 1 again?   * Go online and have done with single player?   * Buy bad company 2 or Dirt2? Many thanks for any pearls of wisdom. Mike.

title: Can the primary attribute names be hidden in a custom hero layout?

text: A friend told me about the "Customize Grid" feature in the hero picker of Dota 2, and about a great website (Dota2Layout.com) to edit those grids. However, that website became incompatible with latest updates to Dota, so for the time being I hacked together my own DotaGrid editor. This works just fine, but I can't seem to get rid of the primary attribute names. Here's a screenshot of a custom layout I've created: ![custom Dota hero grid with marked offending texts](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fLp3k.png) **Question:** Is there any way to remove the red-encircled texts ("Strength", "Agility", "Intelligence")? What I've tried / considered:   * Resetting and exporting the layout, scouring through the file to see if there's anything to tweak;   * Applying some Google-fu;   * I've checked if dota2layout.com does anything special (by checking exported files);   * Searched the steamapps/dota2 folder for *.jpg or *.png (a long shot, I know). All to no avail. Is it currently (6.81b) possible at all to remove those attribute names?

I find myself constantly broke, and sometimes not even able to afford resting at an INN. There are a couple methods I can think of, like fishing, but considering since there's a cost associated with going out in the ship it doesn't seem like it would provide much profit.

title: Does hugging Leonardo da Vinci yield any benefits?

text: I just recently arrived in Venice in Assassin's Creed 2 (PC version) and started the first mission where a man gives me and Leonardo da Vinci a quick tour of Venice. At the end, there is a cut-scene with a quick-time event. Leonardo da Vinci initiates a hug and the game prompts you to push a button. Seeing as it was a cutscene, I sat back not expecting this and watched until it was too late to hug him. Leonardo makes a sad face and walks away which made me feel like a jerk. Does hugging or not hugging Leonardo da Vinci provide any benefits or penalties later in the game? Would it be worth replaying the mission (and how) for the other outcome? Can I save my bromance? I don't mean _benefits_ as in the _wink wink nudge nudge_ type (hehehe), but I thought it was amusing to write such a title.

title: How to remove or disable super weapons in C&C Generals Zero Hour

text: I would like to play skirmish and co-op games with a friend against multiple AI players. Disabling SW will allow us to war against more AI using conventional weapons. I would like to disable all players from having or using super weapons. I have tried a few solutions that included   * Dropping a custom NOSW commandset.ini in the data/ini    * Moving and extracting INIZH.big and dropping the files in the data/ini folder and overwriting the a custom NOSW commandset.ini It seems to be that the Origin version of Command And Conquer Generals Zero Hour cannot be modified to remove super weapons. Everytime I tried a mod here or here or here; the game crashes with a generic message such as check your hardware requirements. Removing the mod make the game work correctly. **Additional**   The most I can configure is "Limit SW" which allows each player one SW.   The path to starting a game is Multiplayer/Online/Custom Game.   There is no other options besides the aforementioned that allows me to configure the game except how many are playing, who they are (USA/CHINA/PLA) and which map.


title: Should I buy the Spectre Requisition Terminal weapons?

text: There are a few weapons available from the Spectre Requisition Terminal in the Citadel, but they're all crazy expensive. As far as I can tell, there's really no way to determine how their stats stack up against what I've already got. What weapons are available here throughout the game? What distinguishes them from other weapons I find or buy along the way? Are they worth their cost? Are there better weapons available elsewhere?


title: Any tutorial for FIFA 12 Goalkeeper Pro?

text: I played as goalkeeper in FIFA 12 and I'm not really sure how to control him. Does anyone know of any good resources on how to play as goalkeeper?


title: What is a Dynasty in Might and Magic Heroes VI?

text: The main menu of Heroes VI is innundated with information about Dynasties. Dynasty Hero this, Dynasty Weapon that, Dynasty Abilities here, Dynasty Level there... etc. I'd like to back up a second - what exactly _is_ a Dynasty? Does it apply in the campaign, or is it multiplayer only?


title: Better to take gold or experience in Might & Magic Heroes VI?

text: In Might & Magic Heroes VI there are certain treasure chests that let you choose between gold and experience. To beat the game most easily which one should you choose early on?


title: Why is my cursor blinking constantly?

text: I just installed the full version of _Might and Magic Heroes VI_ , and whether I'm in the menus or playing the game, my cursor is blinking constantly. I've tried tinkering with all the graphics settings, but I can't make it stop. I didn't have this problem with the demo. Is there anything I can do?


title: How do I get a bigger bag?

text: I love picking stuff up in the forest and the like, but now that I have a cow and fish traps and all of that sort of thing, I find that I often run out of space in my bag pretty fast. I know I can just make trips back to my house to store things or go and ship things, but it takes time to go back and forth. Is there a way to get a bigger backpack?


title: How can I prevent my dwarves from requesting Iridium during a strange mood?

text: In Dwarf Fortress, dwarves who are in a strange mood will normally request an entire class of items (stone, metal bars, cloth). However, they can also specifically ask for adamantine wafers. The Masterwork mod adds iridium, which can be specifically requested in the same manner as adamantine. The problem is, any dwarf metalworker which goes into a strange mood asks for iridium, and uses that as the base material. This means that instead of getting artifact quality slademantine weapons, I'm getting artifact iridium weapons which are less than half as good. How can I prevent the dwarves from asking for iridium? I am familiar with modifying the raws, but have been unable to find any place where that is specified.


title: Where can you test and compare weapons that you have modded?

text: I now have access to three (3) different assault rifles. The second rifle fires in bursts and is listed as having higher accuracy than the M-8 Avenger but the kickback is fierce and makes fighting with the weapon very different than the standard rifle. I have yet to even fire the third one as I was afraid to use it upon finding it, fearing I would end up low on the learning curve for this new, potentially completely different weapon. Is there any way to compare and test them with mods before just blindly taking them into combat?


title: What defines a game's "replay value"?

text: I've heard the term "replay value" thrown around a lot in many game reviews and some publications. As implied from the question, what does it mean? What actually defines it? Is it how long it takes to play the game? The number of assets in the game? How engaging the game is? How good looking the game is?


title: When I summon a war party, do lords go to that location or directly to me?

text: It's a question of time. I want them to gather, and go to my target (a siege, or a weaker lord wandering and too slow). If I summon them while in my castle, do they go to that castle first? Or does the AI just direct them towards me?


title: Can Saints Row: The Third cheats be saved across gameplays?

text: _Saints Row: The Third_ has dozens of cheats that can be typed at the cheat screen. However, after I typed some codes and quit the game, when I came back those cheats were gone and I had to retype them to re-unlock them. **After I type a cheat code, can I make the game remember it?** I wish that when I quit the game and came back, the cheat would already be listed in the cheat screen, so I wouldn't need to re-type it. Is it possible?

title: Do Reports and Leaves in Coop vs AI Count?

text: I was wondering: can someone get punished for leaving coop games? Or even for raging or doing whatever to get himself reported in general. I know this isn't the case in Custom Games but i'm not sure about coops because for example if you dodge a coop game you still have to wait just like in any normal.


I accidently clicked yes on the popup and now I'm stuck using this slow quick play search and I don't know how to turn it off. The new search takes exponentially more time than the old one. I've been waiting 20 minutes just to get into a game. How do I unsubscribe to the multiplayer quick search beta? ![screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/d2Ddi.png)


title: Where Is the Casino?

text: Where is the casino located and how soon is it accessible? Do I need to pass a certain story event or need an item to gain access? I'm about ready to enter Nevermore, but I wanted to spent some time at the casino first if possible.


title: New to nethack: playing wizard

text: The top question on this website is about nethack so being a total baller I downloaded the game. I got the visual version for windows. I want to play a wizard but I died on my first attempt. I wonder if it had something to do with me not being able to use spells. I have no idea how to play this game so I wonder what are some useful commands. (i learned that D lets you drop things) and how to generally play each class. It doesnt need to get into the specifics I just want to learn the basics so i dont keep dying (although tricks are appreciated as well)


title: What are Jaedong's build orders in ZvP?

text: Jaedong is considered the best Zerg in the world, but I'm having trouble finding information about it and his replays are difficult to find.

title: What are the pros and cons of Quantum Armor and the Modular Powersuits?

text: I want to know the pros and cons of having the Quantum Armor (including the GraviChestPlate) compared to the pros and cons of the Modular Powersuits (with all modules installed). **What I don't care about**   * Anything unnecessary for everyday protection (anything extra is bonus, but I don't really care about it. I only care about essential protection and faster moving if possible)    * Cost - It would be nice if it was cheap, but it doesn't have to be if it's worth it. **What I do care about**   * Armor - I hang around in dangerous places a lot. I want to live to tell about it.       * Fire Protection - The Nether is full of cool stuff! I want to steal it without dying.     * Fall Damage Protection - Admit it, everyone has fallen into their quarry hole. If this matters, I am using the Ultimate Feed the Beast modpack with GregTech on hard mode. Please, if possible, list what prerequisites I need to craft said armors.

title: Would I take friendly fire damage if I had a mage as companion?

text: I'm playing Skyrim as a **battle mage**. Thus I focus on **heavy armor** , **desctruction magic** and **one-handed**. At the moment my companion is Lydia. She always runs in the line of fire and tells me to stop hurting her. I also managed to kill her many times using chain lightning or fire ball. Thats why it came to my mind using a ranged companion. If I had a **destruction magic companion** would he also do **damage to me** when he casts an **AOE spell**?


title: Where can I find "ghosts"?

text: I first noticed this when I was playing through "The Beacon," the last area. I looked up on the cliffside while walking along the beach, and was surprised to see what looked like a person looking down! ![dearesther1](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3hT5N.jpg) I thought perhaps I was mistaken about it being a ghost/person and that it was just another standing stone, however, when I arrived at the location along the path, there was no stone to be found... ![dearesther2](http://i.stack.imgur.com/WdytA.jpg) After loading up the second area, "The Bouy"[sic], I then noticed this: ![dearesther3](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Bwlcc.jpg) This one actually _moved_. When I first noticed it, it was running along the path where the arrow is, then stopped at the location I took the screenshot. After standing there by the boat a few moments, I noticed something. The opacity of the "ghost" changes depending on where you were focusing your camera. The arrows show the distance from the edge of the camera. ![dearesther4](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0hRtO.jpg) I outlined it in this picture on the right because it's very, very faint. ![dearesther5](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fqOwM.jpg) Where else in the game can I find these "ghosts"? I'm looking for **a full list of potential locations in one answer** , please, **not one-answer-per- location**.


title: WoW - Using Large Knapsack

text: I got Large Knapsack drop/reward (don't remember exactly) and it has been in my bag since a week and I am trying to figure out how to use it. From the description it has (12 slot bag), it seems useful. But when I click on it it says "No equipment slot is available for that item". I want to make sure I dont regret later by selling it in frustration. Now what to do with this? If it matters, I am lvl 42 Arms Warrior


title: Does it matter when I open a treasure sphere?

text: The spherical treasure chests that are scattered throughout the world exist in the same place regardless of what time period you are in, but once opened, they remain opened in all times. Are the contents always the same regardless of which time period I collect them in? Or are there some that change?


title: How Do I Change the Mood of the Slot Machines?

text: In Serendipity the girl next to the slot machine will tell you the "mood" of the machine so that you can tell if playing it will be a waste of time. It seems to only perform _decently_ if it's "on fire" or "hot". I've tried exiting to the Historia Crux and coming back into the zone, but I can't seem to really get a much better mood. Is this dependent on something else in the game? Time passed perhaps? Or am I just getting unlucky with this moody machine?


title: What changes in different playthroughs?

text: I wasn't really planning on playing the game through a second time. However, when I loaded up the scene to check out the quotes ingame for this answer, I noticed that I was getting different narration than previously.

title: Can I rotate a WorldEdit selection horizontally?

text: I have a selection in WorldEdit (Bukkit Plugin) that I would like to rotate horizontally (i.e. not around in circles). I can use //rotate x to specify the angle to rotate, and using //rotate 180 would produce the effect as shown below, but I'd like to get the end result, to rotate it around a different axis (probably the y or x instead of z). Is this possible within WorldEdit? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/erzBh.png)


title: How do I stop the launcher bringing up the UAC prompt every time?

title: What is the maximum level in euro truck simulator 2?

title: Are classic games released on Steam somehow optimized for modern computers?

text: I'm wondering if classic games (released earlier than say 2000) on Steam are somehow optimized to run on modern OS's and/or hardware? I own one such game, but it always takes some time to set it up and run (installing latest patches, tuning compatibility, etc) even on a new Windows OS. Even with some latest patches it does have some minor graphics artifacts. This game is currently on sale on Steam, and I think maybe it's worth it to pay a little to remove all these annoyances? Does Steam somehow guarantee that this game will run on all modern OS's (I'm using Windows 8 Pro x64 now), have all latest patches installed and maybe even have some tweaks or unreleased patches to run it better? Or still having original CD + patches + etc. will eventually give me same result?


title: Streaming fullscreen with Open Broadcaster Software gives black screen

text: After a long while i figured out how to stream in HD. However, every time I stream in fullscreen, the stream will show a black screen instead. If I stream a game in Windowed mode it will show it without any issues. How can I stream a game in full screen mode for free so I can prevent them from seeing my desktop and give them the optimal quality resolution? I'm using Open Broadcaster Software and have set my settings to entire screen. or are there better solutions?

title: How do I stop playing?

text: In Draw Something, occasionally I'll see a message that my opponent has resigned from the game. It's nothing to do with the quality of my fat-fingered drawings, I assure you. But I do wonder - how are they doing this? How do you resign a game? I've not seen any option anywhere. Long-clicking on a game brings up no menu, and there doesn't seem to be an option in the Gears menu, either. I'm playing on Android, if that makes any difference.

title: Can a Dualshock 4 replace a Xbox 360 controller on the PC?

text: The PS4 is now released in the EU, but due to shipment shortages is not available for sale unless pre-ordered a long time ago. Luckily, it seems as though Dualshock 4 controllers are availble for sale in a number of shops already. I've long decided to buy the PS4 as well as a second Dualshock 4 controller, so I've been considering buying the "second" controller now in order to replace my old Xbox 360 controller, whose D-Pad is useless and whose `RB` button no longer responds correctly. But before I buy the Dualshock 4 early, I wanted to know how well my PC will support it. I already know that "basic functionality" such as analog sticks and some buttons work on the PC, but what exactly does work, and what doesn't? Can I expect the same key-mapping on the PC as on a PS4? Basically, can I replace my Xbox 360 controller with a Dualshock 4 and still play games like Batman Arkham Asylum/City/Origins as if I were using the old Xbox 360 controller?


title: What are the benefits of rallying all workers to the left or right-most mineral node?

text: I see a lot of SC2 pros rallying all their workers to the left or right-most mineral patch. What are the benefits of doing so versus rallying to the middle patch or versus changing your rally point during the game? Thank you.


title: Accessing the two treasure chests that are under the villa?

text: In the area of the Villa there are two treasure chests indicated on the map, as so: ![Cropped Assassins Creed 2 screenshot - minimap near villa](http://i.stack.imgur.com/dGeUx.jpg) This screenshot was taken while I was on the stairs to the underground sanctuary, and the map items are lit up, which usually indicates they're at the same elevation as myself and so I presume they must be underground? Having looked, they don't seem to be in the building, or on the roof, so I'm pretty sure they must be under there somewhere. I'm sure it's completely unnecessary to get them, but I tried looking for them and couldn't find them, and now I'm annoyed. So, how do I get to them?


title: How similar are the stories for the four characters?

text: It's rather obvious that they'll be at least some differences between them. Katarina's a rather big part of the main quest near the beginning with Lucas, but if I were to play it over again, I'm wondering if it's still mostly the same or if it's like an entirely different campaign, and whether or not the questlines merge together sometime.


title: How to kill Lord Dredmor?

text: Finally I reached 15th floor and met Lord Dredmor for the first time (Dwarven Moderation + Permadeath). I tried to fight against him but some of his magical attacks do an insane amount of damage (more than 60, almost half of my total life). Furthermor Dredmor has a lot of HP. I obviously died, at least I got an achievement. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/iqRi0.jpg) Now, I would like to try again. Can you please give me some suggestions about which skill trees and which skills are more effective against Dredmor and some tips to use when I fight him?


title: Can you somehow use other weapons while dangling from a rope in worms revolution?

text: When I am dangling from a rope some items get greyed out from my inventory, so I assumed the ones that didn't get greyed out could be used from the rope. However, when I selected the dynamite and pressed the fire key, I just disengaged the rope and fell to my death. Am I doing something wrong? Or is it not possible to use other weapons from the ninja rope in the first place?


title: What is a good setup for a 'Catcher' Pokémon in X/Y?

text: I'm at a point in the game where I'd like to go back and catch a lot of the Pokémon I missed, and also some new ones in the Friend Safari etc. However, most of my current team are overleveled, and the random Pokémon in my boxes aren't exactly geared towards catching Pokémon. I also want to be able to guarantee a capture of that elusive shiny, if and when it appears. So, what is a good setup for a Pokémon, specifically for catching other Pokémon?


title: Can you still become a vampire when you have Sanguinare Vampiris but drink a health potion?

title: What is 'Tackling'?

text: I have started playing EVE Online and I'm working through a set of suggestions I have been given by a friend who has been playing EVE for a while to get setup to actually play the game in some capacity as quickly as possible. One of the things that has been suggested to me is that I learn 'tackling'. I've got to grips with the UI for EVE and have had a look through the skill training screens but can't see anything relating to 'tackling'. What is 'tackling' in EVE Online and how can I learn the required skills to do it?

text: The lobby of Dota2 is one big pile of vomit, i always see someone get flamed or extremely sick comments. I rarely participate in the chat but whenever i do feel the need of saying something in the chat my mother pretty much gets the hot topic award. Racism, extremely harsh language, flaming, bullying they are going on 24/7 in the lobby of Dota 2. I have seen chat boxes close for less, a lot less.

But there also is another nav card (the one on the image (i believe)) that does not fit on that table. My question would be: Is there any use for these cards? Are they part of an yet to be implementented easter egg? Any answers or more information would be welcome. Cheers, Marco

title: Will an Australian Mastercard work on a UK PSN Account

text: I know that you can't use an Australian Mastercard on a US PSN Account, i've tried but i'm wondering if a Australian Mastercard will work on a UK PSN Account since DLC for UK Games can be brought from the Australian PlayStation Store and work (I've tried with Tales of Graces F, Atelier Totori, Atelier Meruru, Hyperdimension Neptunia) so i figure maybe the UK Store will allow Australian Mastercard (or Visa Card) i ask this as Agarest Generations of War Zero only has DLC in the UK Playstation Store and i'm wondering if i should waste more time trying to find UK PSN Cards or if i can just use my card


title: Should I take the side of the poor oppressed Duergar, or the racist Genies in the Civil Rights Negotiation?

text: I've been asked to mediate a civil rights dispute between a striking band of Duergar who are being deprived of their Dunkaroos and Rubies, and a conspiracy of racist Genies working on behalf of the Square-Enix-Goya Corporation who wish to deprive the dwarves of their Civil Rights at all costs and get maximum yields from the Chupa Mines. Now I already know that there's no benefit to trying to reach a compromise - there are only rewards for choosing a side. What I'm not sure of is just how the rewards: Armor and a +50 VP potion from the dwarves or (less useful) armor and a Wish from Kazaam; stack up against each other. Which is the better choice?


title: What does the Sixth Sense multiplayer skill do?

text: According to its description, the Sixth Sense skill > Lets you know when you’ve wandered into an enemy's line of sight. How exactly does it notify me? I added this skill to some of my loadouts, and I didn't notice anything special when opponents got me from behind, except for a rapid decline in health, followed by death.


title: What's the most efficient order in which to check for discrepancies?

text: One of the first things that I try to notice is gender, then necessary documents, then picture, then issuing city, then expiration date. I don't think I've seen the second half of the game, so I also wonder if new conditions could change that order. I know a condition is added that involves checking faces even before checking the face in the passport, so an answer would note checking this before the passport but also noting that it isn't necessary at first until what condition is added.

title: How to make pistons push back minecart tracks?

text: I'm trying to make a door to my undergound house. The minecart passes over a pressure plate and it starts some pistons, which then open a hidden door in the wall. But my problem is, while the sticky piston pulls the stone bricks normally, the minecart tracks stay. So, my track has a hole in it everytime I close the door. I can't post pictures, because I'm a new user, sorry. Is there a way to make the track come back with the blocks?

title: Does every garage represents one school bus or two?

text: When I click on an elementary school building, it shows me that I have two school busses. On the map, however, there is only one, in the covered parking spot. Does that mean that both busses are represented by the one in the shed, or I actually have to build the second shed one to use my second bus? It is unclear from the upgrade screen whether I get another two busses from the purchase of the second shed, or it just shows however many I have already. As a reference, the police station also states that I have two police cars, and there are actually two cars in the parking lot. But for the fire station, I think I had to buy another garage, unless I am thoroughly confused.

text: I recently installed rage on my PC, expecting to run smoothly after i played it on a less powerful pc having a decent FPS, BUT! Here comes the plot twist, because after I start a new game, (the pre-rendered cinematics running okay ofcourse) and get in the actual game, I literally get **0FPS** , the game 'updates' every 2-3 seconds so it takes like 2 minutes open start menu etc. My PC is more than enough for this game, so what can be the problem?

text: Apparently I have a sign called "Aard", which does something when I press Q while it's active. Aard is hardly a descriptive word, however, and when I press C to bring up my character screen there's nothing there that has anything to do with it. How can I read a description of this sign in-game?


title: Is it possible to have too many cities?

text: I have 46 cities, but for some reason I can no longer attack cities, nor can I raze any of my current cities. Each time I try to finish off the city, it just goes to the next unit. The same happens if I try to attack with that unit. I can nuke, bomb and shoot it to the last HP, but I can't "enter" the city. I'm currently using _Modern Tank_ , _Mechanized Infantry_ , _Artillery_ and _Paratroopers_. It wasn't a problem before. I conquered a lot of cities using _Tanks_. Is there a limit on cities, or could something else be causing this?


title: How large can a NPC village be?

text: I would like to embark on a massive Minecraft build that includes NPC villagers. Now I would like to know how large of a "village" I can make. I was reading that they have to be within 16 blocks horizontally from a door to register. Also, I read that to transplant villagers to another village they have to be moved at least 32 blocks away from their original village. Does this all mean that I can only make a village that is up to 64 blocks across? Also, since wells are considered to be the center of a village, can I create wells every 64 blocks to create another village adjacent to one?


title: The Direwolf20 pack regularly lag-crashes when I near large amounts of oil

text: Alright, my requests on Minecraft Forum and the private FTB support site I have not gotten an answer to this question. The problem is that my FTB instance lags out so bad when I near a large (almost taking up an entire chunk, based on my guess) Buildcraft oil spawn. I generally last about three minutes before the console starts outputting memory errors and the game lag bombs so bad you have to kill it with Task Manager. Here's a log of what occurs on the console. I've removed the chunk loader I placed in the area and it should also be noted that I am playing using the Direwolf20 map available in the launcher. Other maps work fine using the same pack. What can I do to prevent this?


title: Can I save my game locally?

text: I read in an article dating from December that SimCity games would be saved _online_. I have not yet bought the game, and I wonder if this is true. It would be bad enough to be forced out of the game if my connection is lost, but I would be edgy to not be able to save my game after I notice a lost connection, as I am pretty bad at saving regularly and would hate to lose my whole session after being kicked out. So, is the game really saved online? If so, is there a way to have some kind of backup on my computer? I suppose it wouldn't be so bad if there was an auto-save thing. Is there?

title: Can I re-battle the other Mega Men in any way?

text: I can easily refight all the Pseudoroids like Bifrost, Chronoforce and Buckfire by going back to where they spawned as bosses, but is there any way to fight the other Megamen like Aeolus and Atlas? Going back to where they were doesn't work, and they're not part of the Boss Rush in the final area either. Is there any way to fight them again or are they only once per playthrough?


title: Help completing Asphalt duel races

text: I'm just 3 points away from completing Career mode in Asphalt 6 on the iPhone, but am having trouble with 2 races.   * Chamonix duel in Pro Nitro Series   * Moscow duel in Asphalt Final Cup I believe I have to win by _at least_ 12 seconds to come first (getting 3 stars), which is exceedingly difficult, even without completing the secondary goals (drifting etc..)

title: What factors determine the base IP cost of a champion?

text: The cost to purchase ranges from 450 IP for 'Heroic' champions to 6300 IP. It doesn't seem to be related to their power as many of the cheaper ones are also considered strong contenders, e.g. Ashe and Annie are 450 IP. Is there a particular pattern to how much each champion costs (year of introduction, importance to main storyline, rarity ...)?

title: Where can I view new lore entries?

text: My level 2 barbarian was killing zombies right outside of town when a little box in the bottom right appeared which said "New Lore". Since I was in the middle of combat I didn't have time to click on it, and a moment later it faded out and disappeared. I assume there is somewhere that I can view this lore, but the most likely candidate, my Journal, only seems to have quest information and a book from Leah that I found in town. Where can I view lore information?

title: How can I stop civilizations dying out and fortress abandonment?

text: When generating worlds that are old (1k-10k years), I have a very hard time stopping civilizations dying out and **every** fortress I visit in Adventurer mode is abandoned. What aspects of world generation effect fortress abandonment and creation? Can you have an old world without many abandoned fortresses, or are they just abandoned as time progresses. What greatly effects civilizations dying out? How can I generate an old world that has a balanced amount of beasts to civilizations? (i.e. not end up without any beasts nor without any people)


title: How does Delphine know where the Horn is?

text: I finished the quest `The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller`. The Greybeards sent me to Ustengrav. Upon completion I saw the note from Delphine. In a bid to learn my last word of "Dah" I went to Riverwood since she was the one who left the note for me. When I meet her, she tells me "You are the one the Grey-Beards summoned and why I did so and so". Which is why she beat me to the horn of the Wind Caller. But How? Maybe she heard the summons in the story line, when the Greybeards summoned the Dovahkiin and deduced, BUT HOW? HOW did she know to go to Ustengrav, which is exactly like a lot of Nordic ruins? And why Ustengrav?


title: Why does my bed explode when I try to sleep on it in the Nether, and how do I disable it?

text: After I read the changelog for Minecraft 1.6, I saw that one of the few items that were fixed was beds in the nether. However, when trying to sleep in one, it explodes. Is this purely intentional, and does this happen in SMP (can't confirm now)? If it does explode in SMP, can I disable it (the explosion) for beds only, in case some griefer does this? EDIT: Since it happens in SMP, is there a mod to disable this? Even if the bed kills them (the griefers) they still can go into the portal and wreak havoc in it

title: I want to order my crew to disassemble C2-N2, but the intercom doesn't seem to do anything at all

text: When you get your ship in SW:TOR my experience has been that there is a droid on board who is exceedingly annoying. One supposedly useful thing you are told though is that there is an intercom that "...will inform your crew that you wish to issue new orders." However I have yet to notice any effect when clicking it (right or left!). Does the intercom actually do anything? If not are there rumors or expectations as to what is likely to be implemented for it functionally wise?

title: Can I use Wukong's passive to detect the presence of enemies?

text: Wukong's passive is as follows: > (Innate) Wukong's armor and magic resistance are increased by 4 / 6 / 8 for > each nearby enemy champion. Using this passive, are you able to sense the presence of enemy gankers or junglers so long as they are within range, even if they are in bush? What if they're stealthed? Or does the bonus armor and magic resistance only activate if you can see the enemy champion?

I've bought the Old Bone Skeleton Key, but I can't use it, because my Connected: Criminals is less than 10. (And I don't want to spend real money on this.) How can I raise my Connected: Criminals?


I'm prioritizing improvement of the Alchemy and Enchanting skills because they can enhance practically everything else, including each other. I'm focusing on creating potions with a Paralyze effect for use in my travels. The Paralyze effect comes from either: Briar Heart, Canis Root, Gleamblossom (DG), Human Flesh, Imp Stool, Netch Jelly (DB), or Swamp Fungal Pod. Unfortunately, all of these ingredients, in terms of merchant availability, are either uncommon, rare, or unavailable to be bought. I'd rather not save- scum merchants in the hopes that it pops up in their inventory. I noticed that at least two of the ingredients can be found in the College of Winterhold, but it takes 10 days for their to respawn. I understand that asking for a route to collect only ingredients for Paralyze would be too narrow, so instead I ask what's a good route to collect alchemy ingredients in general, preferably free. Update: I rephrase the question from "What's a good route to collect alchemy ingredients?" to "Which buildings have lots of ingredients?" In this way, one may blaze their own route. I presume that all apothecaries have tons of ingredients laying around. If an apothecary doesn't, that's worth noting. What's also worth noting is which apothecary has the best merchant chest.


title: Is it possible to see activity statistics on Xbox Live?

text: I'm debating between the original L4D and L4D2. I like the original better, but I'm worried that I'm going to discover that there aren't any/many games.

Specifically, I want to do this WITHOUT owning the game and I also want to know if there are people within reasonable ping distance of me.

title: What are the typical nest placements of Yukon?

text: I've been _trying_ to play on Yukon, but I haven't had much luck yet in joining a team that didn't get steamrolled by the other team. Large areas full of rocks and other nasty things, many small tight tunnels that connect each of this areas to the other, this seems like paradise for spam of all kind. People who wish to take the point back have to wrestle through the spies and demomen and pyros and heavies and scouts in the enclosed areas, and when they're done they have to face longer range harassment from soldiers and snipers and demomen still, with the rocks favoring ambushes for the other closer range classes. It seems the map is aggressively designed against defense: lose the middle point and you can already think about the next round. It doesn't help that you always spawn from the farthest spawn point unless you own middle. So that brings in the picture engineers and their teleports, pushing the team forward. Thing is, while metal is abundant on the map, I can't for the life of me find a decent nest location. I can imagine hiding teleporters around one of the corners can be effective on defense, but that's it. Every place I've looked at seems either too exposed or too ambushable. Do I _have_ to gunslinger here, or are there nests I just can't see? Being on the wrong end of the game, the only effective placement I've seen so far is on the sloped side of the second point, when the enemy is down to their last point: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Vf9Ky.jpg) Is that all? What are the typical nest placements in Yukon?


title: BL2 LAN coop doesn't work on PS3

text: I've been trying to find the answer to this problem for weeks with no luck. Every time a friend of mine and I try to play BL2 together from the same LAN ends in failure. It doesn't seem to matter if we're signed into PSN or not. Every time, the game brings the connection screen, establishes the connection, but then kicks us out back to the starting lobby with no error message. We've tried changing the network settings to LAN, signing out of PSN, putting each PS3 on a different router in the same network, and connecting them directly with a crossover. On each configuration, we can each see the other player in the active roster from our individual lobby, so I know the two PS3s are communicating. As far as I know this should be working, are there additional setup steps I'm missing?


title: When should I invest perk points into Smithing & Enchanting?

text: I am a newbie in Skyrim and i wondered when i should start enchanting and smithing. I started enchanting on my Mage at about level 5 and i did it for so long that i got about level 10 but i didn't invest my perk points into any other skills. I was weaker later because of this. So the conclusion to this boring explanation is: **When should I start enchanting to still stay strong?** This goes for all class builds.

text: As I was playing in the Summit Forest level (which has a 'Hitman' kind of vibe to it), trying to take down enemies as stealthily as possible, this got me thinking: How do the stealth elements of the game work and how does the enemy AI detect the player? Specifically, I would like to know:   * Do the **sounds** you make matter? (from gunfire, walking on different types of floor, or through water, knocking over objects or bumping wind chimes)      * Will walking instead of running lessen sound and likelihood of detection?     * Are some guns or weapons 'quieter' than others? Does the bow and arrow, and a silenced pistol have the same or different noise levels?   * Does **sight or light levels** matter? Will having a lit torch make you easier to detect? Can I lurk in the shadows? Sneak behind people? Hide behind objects? Being on a different level (a floor up or down)?   * **Once you're spotted** , is hiding effective, or will the enemies instantly and constantly know where you're hiding?       * Do enemies alert each other when of them has spotted you?      * Will enemies be alerted when they come across a body you killed? How does this change their behavior and their likelihood of detecting you?    * Any enemies with unique behavior when it comes to player detection?   * Does **difficulty** matter?

I have one drive that's been sitting around the house that I've tried that seems to fit the minimum requirements, but when formatting it to use on my 360 I get the 'Can't configure' error. Is there a compatibility list available somewhere? I found one list, but it appears to be for the original xbox on a linix forum. Basically I'm not concerned about getting a drive that is too small, I just don't want to purchase one that, for some reason, is not compatible with the 360 or that I have to pay the extra markup for some pretty logos on the casing. * * * Edit: Was getting the 'Can't configure' error. 'Your device cannot be used with the USB storage device due to data loss and performance issues.' Drive works great in Windows so I want to make sure to avoid this with the drive I purchase.

title: How to lane against Gnar as a melee champion?

text: I had the most devastating lane against Gnar the other day (sadly in a ranked game). I thought I could handle him, you know attack when his skills are down, avoid him when he's about to transform, etc. However I quickly realized this doesn't work (at least in my case). I found myself I extremely poked down xin on the verge of being repeatedly tower dived by Gnar. **Tips I've been told** :   * Avoid him at full rage   * Engage on him after he's used his jump.   * Play aggressive (early & low rage)   * Get your jungler to to gank. All of these failed me in that game. I don't want this to happen again. **The Lane** :   * I started by trying to farm, quickly realizing he was just going to poke me down fast so I backed off a bit and played conservatively.   * After that I watched for an opening, he jumped, he was low rage, no minions around, so (as Xin) I jumped onto him and started my combo. This did a bit less damage to him than he did to me, which his easy to catch Q and his W procs I was outmatched.   * I noticed his high rage so I backed up to my tower (minions middle of lane) with my half HP and waited. His rage did not fall and instead I found myself with a wave of minions approaching my turret and Gnar about to transform.   * Before I could react he had double-stunned me and I was dead (under tower).   * I returned to lane and found myself getting poked out of lane and dived even from full HP. It was over, I realized this and tried some damage control by strictly staying under tower, occasionally farming doubles when I could.   * At this time I tried kindly asking my Jungler "Hey I'm getting my butt kicked, could you help me out Udyr?" He walked up to tri-bush, stood there for 10s and left "it's warded what do you expect me to do?". In my head I was raging at this point, 'Gee idk USE YOUR TRINKET' but I stayed calm as it was ranked.   * Eventually it ended with me 0/3 Gnar roaming for kills as I pushed, (I attempted at one point to go to another lane and gank but it resulted in failure as I was under-leveled due to having to stay under tower all game.   * The team (and raged me hard as it was 'all my fault') surrendered the game was over. I did okay at dodging but missing all of his Qs and Autos was near impossible, I built pure tank in hopes that he'd eventually do less damage and I could farm/catch-up. I honestly don't believe that a non-pure tank build would have made any difference as even if I could have damaged him he would have transformed at last second and killed me (as I've seen done many times). **TL;DR** : I got my ass handed to me and we surrendered "all because of me". **Question:** How can I avoid getting poked completely out of the game by Gnar as a melee champ? I've been told what to do but not how to do it? Other than having a helpful jungler is there anything I could have done (as a melee champ or specifically Xin).


title: How do I get two gamepads to work with Monaco (or other Steam games)?

text: I'm running Linux and my two controllers are..   * THRUSTMASTER 2-in-1 Dual Trigger Controller   * THRUSTMASTER 3-in-1 Dual Trigger Controller The problem is that even though I can configure one of them in Big Picture Mode, but neither is there a way to select a controller nor is there a way to configure both of them at the same time. Although I got it working once or twice, but now it doesn't anymore. The is also the case for Guacamelee (and probably many more). I don't know if it helps, but **here** is a way to get the configuration that was made my Big Picture Mode. So, how can I get two (non Xbox) gamepades work consistently on Linux (with Steam) for local co-op?


title: What will happen to my 3DS when I move to a different region?

text: Recently I bought a 3DS in America, but soon I'm moving to Australia. I've heard that the device is region locked, so I know that if I buy any games in Australia, they won't work on my 3DS. I want to know if I'll be "locked out" of the network and eShop when I move, or if any of my downloaded eShop games will stop working. Has anyone had any experience with using the eShop and downloaded games outside of the country where the 3DS was purchased, and do you know if there is any sort of region detection on the 3DS? I saw this question but it's slightly different and doesn't really answer my question.


title: Is it possible to see the PP and BP of an opponent without fighting him?

text: When you play against an opponent you see their PP and BP. You can also show the PP in the lobby by selecting the menu point. Can I somehow see the BP and PP of my friends or somebody else I have played before without actually fighting against them? Also, is it possible to see the BP of all of other peoples' characters?


title: What are some tips to get the "blow up 3 enemies" achievements?

text: I've just played through rage, and while I am not crazy enough to go after some of the achievements, I was actually aiming for **Three Birds, One Bomb Car** and **Hat Trick**. However, try as I might I couldn't set up a situation that would allow me to get one of these. Several factors contributed to my failure:   * It is very rare to encounter large groups of clustered enemies that don't try to immediately charge you (mutants) or go hide behind a wall (just about every other enemy).   * All enemies are clairvoyant, and know exactly what RC bomb cars and mind control bolts are, and so will try to shoot your RC cars/controlled suicide bombers.   * RC car bombs are amazingly annoying to drive, as they tend not to be able to go over most obstacles, even if they are incredibly low. Any tips on how to set up a situation where these achievements can be acquired with relative ease would be appreciated.
