title: How do I get the storyline missions to start?

text: According to the guide at ModLink: > The storyline starts at about April 14th 2010 when the top Uplink Agent > (deceased) sends you an email. In this mail will be a link to ARC Central > Mainframe, along with his user name and password. In order to enter the > storyline, you must connect to ARC Central Mainframe, and try to hack the > system using the Codes that the Agent sent you. The codes wont work, but the > act of trying alerts ARC to your presence. Before you do this, make sure you > have at least 4Gq of memory space left, or you wont get the file that ARC > send you when they contact you. A week or two later, ARC will send you an > email offering you a job. Accept this and the storyline begins. When I got the first message, I initially disregarded it. I left it sitting in my Inbox, and went to take care of the other missions I had queued first. After I finally got to following up on the message, I logged into the system of interest only to find that it had security systems that were currently beyond my abilities to hack. So, I left and continued on completing missions until finally I stumbled across a bank account with over 1 million credits. After acquiring the finances, and buffing my Gateway to the max, I went to follow up on the e-mail. After the initial failure with the known account credentials, I went through the standard process of hacking the Admin account. I logged in to the system, expecting to find something interesting on the file server, and found nothing. I backed out and cleaned up my tracks, and then went in search of a guide. That's when I found ModLink. After reading the guide, I hit the fast-forward button to wait for my next message. However, months have now gone by and I still have nothing. Is there something I missed, or is my game broken?


title: Why do we constantly refer to gold generating items as "GP5" (Gold Per 5) when they actually generate 5 gold per 10 seconds?

text: Or am I simply wrong about what the acronym GP5 stands for?


title: Can Skarner's Ultimate (Impale) cause a friendly turret to switch focus away from champion he has Impaled?

text: To clarify, while watching the ggClassic tonight we saw a Skarner get turret- dove by two enemies and when he ulted the one who had Turret Aggro, the turret seemed to switch to the OTHER enemy champion, which allowed the initial diver to survive. Can someone confirm or deny if this is the case? Do you think that it is a bug?


title: How to most efficiently spend gold as support?

text: Ever since the preseason changes to support items I tend to find myself having a large amount of gold. Since I'm not used to this amount of gold as support I was wondering what I could use it best on. Most supports now have their utility scale with AP. Should I build like an AP mid to strengthen utility and damage, or maybe that is best left to the actual mid? The only items I ever generally get on all supports is boots, one gold item and a sightstone then whatever looks good after those. My favorite support is Lulu if you have a good answer for a build to use on her. What do I spend the rest of this gold on most effectively?


title: Can I join the legion and do the Civil War quest line AFTER completing the main story?

title: LCD TV vs LCD Monitor for Xbox

text: I have no experience with consoles and I have decided to buy an Xbox 360 with Kinect. I don't have a big display so I will have to buy a display first.

title: Does gilding reduce or increase the cost of the hero?

text: I heard that you can "gild" all heroes in clickerheroes.com, which gives them 50% more efficiency per gild. Now I ask myself, does this in any way affect the amount of gold you need to upgrade the gilded hero?


title: Which scripting language does Skyrim use?

text: The previous Bethesda titles from the Elder Scrolls series - Morrowind and Oblivion - as well as the games based off Oblivion's engine, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, used a custom scripting language internally, usually called "TESScript". A common complaint was that it was very limited, doing basically _just enough_ for the specific game to work, and nothing more (Oblivion's version didn't even have looping statements, for example). This necessitated the development of so-called "script extenders" (MWSE, OBSE, FOSE and NVSE, respectively) to bring this language up to speed. Did Bethesda take the criticism seriously and implement a different, complete scripting language into Skyrim - and if so, which one?

title: How can I play C&C Generals over wireless LAN?

text: Me and my friend have _Command & Conquer: Generals_ and we want to play it using wireless. My laptop is the server. I create an ad hoc wireless network and enable network discovery and sharing on both, so the computers can find each other. I also disable firewall on my laptop and his. When we want to connect to each other using _direct connect_ or other methods, it fails. I know the game is very old but I really want to play, so any help is appreciated.


title: Who are essential and will not attack you (purposely)?

text: > [Essential] means they cannot be killed [...] and when their health bar > fully depletes, they will merely fall into a state of recovery for a short > time [...]. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Essential_NPCs A key criterion of my question is the fact that essential NPCs can still be hurt, allowing one to grind skills that require inflicting damage on them. A prime example is Ralof: > Before you escape Helgen, Ralof will not retaliate if you attack him. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Ralof#Notes If they are only essential or will not attack you at a certain point, when? Why do I ask? Because instead of asking "who is a good target on which to grind Destruction" or somesuch and getting answers mentioning just one (or few) NPCs, it'd be more useful to get a complete list.


title: Diablo 3 RoS Damage model

text: Benchmarking and dmg-prediction gear/spec in D3 is quite difficult... my question is in this "field"... I would like to know how the damage model works regarding the "+ Holy/Fire/Lightning %dmg" and the "+ X% (skill name here) dmg"... consider the following scenario: I have a char that casts a fireball (fire dmg) and it hits for 100 dmg. so, consider `Ring A` a ring that only has 1 stat and that stat is **+ 10% fire dmg** and `Ring B` gives **+ 15% fireball dmg**   1. If I use Ring A (gives **10%** fire dmg,) the fireball will hit for 110?   2. If I use Ring B (that gives **15%** fireball dmg) the fireball will hit for 115?   3. If I use Ring A and B the fireball will hit for 110, 115, 125, 126.5?   4. If I crit for 2x, while using only Ring A the value of the hit will be `(100*2)+10%`(220) or `(100*2)+(10%*2)`(240)?


title: Create a competition with national teams and clubs

text: I'm trying to play a competition where national teams and clubs are allowed to play **in a single group** of 15+, home and away (a league like competition which includes national teams too) I remember I was able to do that in some old version of PES, I wasn't able to find it PES2013 (Konami cup doesn't allow such thing) So, what I'm asking is; is this possible in PES2013 or no need to search more?


title: Which sidequests need to be started before the end of the main storyline?

text: It's recently come to my attention that some of the sidequests become locked and you can't start them at all if you don't start them by the time you finish the main campaign. As I'm likely not going to have the time to start a New Game+ anytime soon with all the fall new releases, I would like to finish all the sidequests before I finish the main story. Which sidequests do I need to begin before the end of the main story? If you could put how/where I need to start them behind a spoiler too, that would be great.


title: Is it possible to get all pieces of art without visiting other towns?

text: My art gallery in the museum is only about half-full. For about two months now, whenever Redd comes he only has paintings and statues I already have, even if they're forgeries (in other words, I haven't even seen a forgery whose original isn't already in my museum). I remember a villager saying that some objects don't appear in all towns. Does this apply to art? Is it impossible to fill your museum's art gallery without buying from Redd in another town?


title: In Sniper Elite V2, how is the kill score calculated?

text: In Sniper Elite V2 for the PC, however available on different platforms. When you kill a target a score is displayed. From what I can gather this score is based upon distance and where the bullet hits. I've looked through the official forum for some answers on this, however to no avail. Has anyone worked out or found what the rough formula depends on and how it is calculated?

title: Restarting first time setup for games on Steam

But here, on the left side, it just doesn't seem to work; I just hop off the ramp with no trick. Is this problem on my end, or is the ramp actually bugged and lacking in a trick zone?


title: Minecraft - decorative and peaceful fish plugin for Bukkit

text: I'm making an aquarium for the city on our server (a big building with a glass tunnel). I'm going to fill it with water and put Squid and Silverfish in it. But I thought it would be better if we had more variety. So does anyone know of a plugin for being able to spawn various peaceful fish? I've done some searching on BukkitDev but found nothing.


title: Does it matter where your shots land in Planetside 2?

text: I know there is a word for this but I just can't recall. What I'm asking is "is hitting someone on the head going to kill them faster than shooting only their legs/torso (like some games) or is it the same damage wherever I shoot (like some others)?".

title: How can I counter Fungal Growth + Blinding Cloud as Terran?

text: As Terran, I like to run either marines/marauders/medivacs or marines/tanks, usually with a couple vikings for anti-air. In Wings of Liberty Fungal Growth was obnoxious but not a serious threat: either my medivacs healed through it or my tanks cleaned up ground troops anyway. In Heart of the Swarm, however, Fungal Growth + Blinding Cloud really ruins my day. Trapped by Fungal Growth, my units can't get out of the Blinding Cloud, so my marines only manage to shoot once or twice before dying to zerglings/banelings, and my tanks are completely useless. How can I counter this combo? Do I need to change my build composition?


title: Launching Minecraft 1.7.4 from the command-line

No change in behaviour though. Is there some magic command-line sauce for 1.7.4 that will allow me to start the game with sound?

title: How can I set up a LAN game over Hamachi?

text: One of the perils of the tight Steam integration in Borderlands 2 that my brother and I discovered last night, is that if either of us lose our connection to the friends list server, our game goes down. When that happened to us last night, I decided to give Hamachi a try in order to create a LAN game. We downloaded Hamachi and got the vLAN set up easily enough, but my brother had no luck searching for the LAN game I had just created. The wikia article gives a couple of solutions, but I'm not sure if they're specific to Borderlands, or apply to Borderlands 2 as well;   1. Do these solutions apply to Borderlands 2 at all?   2. How do I either specify the IP to connect to or the NIC to use when searching for a LAN game? If those solutions don't apply, what is the solution for playing Borderlands 2 over Hamachi?

title: How should I be building a ranged Vanquisher?

text: I've been playing a Vanquisher for some time, using mostly dual-pistols and ranged attacks. I've been upgrading my Dexterity and picking up skills like Exploding shot and other things that seem like they'd increase my damage, but I've largely just been "winging it": picking things that sound cool or upgrading to items with more lines of attributes on them. It's worked okay so far, but I'd like to _aim_ for something in the rest of my play-through. I think I'm comfortable with my skill selections (Exploding shot and Ricochet, and spending almost all the rest in passives), but what _should_ I be looking for—with respect to attributes—when trying to build a ranged vanquisher? Should I be dumping all my attribute points into Dexterity, or is there a more balanced allocation? Assuming I'm not trying to create a novelty build (like maxing out one stat—say, crit chance—at the sake of ignoring everything else that might be needed to get through the game without grinding my teeth—like say, survivability), what item attributes and runes should I be looking at? Are there must-have attributes for Vanquishers, regardless of playstyle? Are there attributes that look good on paper, but don't really work as advertised?


title: What is "Fire Group 3" and how can I use it?

What is group 3, and is there a way to configure which weapons belong to it?


title: Getting Ghost in Milwaukee Junction

text: So I'm trying to get the ghost award on Milwaukee Junction. I can get through the whole map with 0 takedowns, 0 suspicious cameras and 0 alerted guards. And I can talk Zeke down and save Josie.

title: Banished citizens don't marry and/or split up

text: I'm on my second attempt trying to lead the poor people to success. My first village died off from old age, this time everything is just perfect. Except for one thing: My villagers hate each other. How come that I have so many people living alone? I'm 28/10/11. In theory I have enough houses for every adult to pair up, but every house is occupied and far from optimally. There are many singles in their 40's and 50's. Females and males alike. No deaths from old age or accidents have occured yet; I'm in my 8th summer. So how do this happen? I've seen it in both my games. So what I would like to understand: Why are there people living alone when 1) nobody has died 2) there are opposite sex in their age group also living alone I even have young people living alone (ages 20-30) and plenty of young people of both sex just refusing to leave their parents' home. I have spread homes around all workspaces nicely so there are more homes than jobs in any one location. Some of the singles have children!! (below 10) **EDIT** I just experienced one of my citizens becoming homeless. How does this happen? I made no deletions. He is 31 years old and idling pretty far from his job, very happy and very healthy. **EDIT #2** He got stuck in an unescapable place behind some of my buildings (the buildings are very old, so somehow he got teleported there and he was just registered as homeless, apparantly, when he couldn't get back out) I'm gonna let him freeze to death rather than deleting my house. I've built 2 houses. They've stood empty for at least a minute of gameplay. Many of my houses are full of young students of all sexes. Whay is happening?

I decided I wanted to run around Constantinople for a bit before I do this annoying level, but I can't find the option to leave the memory. Am I missing something here?

Hopefully that made sense. Thanks for your help.


title: What professions will help a Demonology Warlock?

text: I am trying to phrase this question in a way that makes it not subjective. I am not looking for "the most fun" or "best" profession for a Warlock to practice in WoW.

Be it getting additional stats on armor or being able to create potions - what will help the Warlock the most if they invest their time in? I just recently hit level 85 and after reading about all of the professions, I am still not quite sure as to which will help me the most.

title: How can I select a single bit out of an array of latches?

text: Let's say I have 4 latches, each representing a bit: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9kSc6.png) I want to be able to see the value stored at a specific bit. I specify which bit I want to look at by entering a binary number via. switches: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AN3nQ.png) So if I were to enter (0, 0), it would output the value stored at the leftmost bit. If I were to enter (0, 1), it would output the value stored at the bit 2nd to the left, and so on, up to (1, 1), which would output the rightmost bit. How would I do this? Could you point me to a tutorial or answer yourself? I have been looking for a week now, but I have not really been sure what I should search. Also, I understand that Arqade might not be the best place to ask this question. If you feel that way could you please suggest a better place to ask? Thank you! PS. To those of you who understand programming, think of it as I would like to do this:   output = latches[input];

title: HDMI connection with 360 not working, but confirmed to work on other TVs?

text: OK, so here's a tricky question for someone with any knowledge in this department. I have been playing with my Xbox on a computer monitor for a long time because I have no Wired Internet in my room (don't own a wireless router). Now I want to put it back in my room and plug it into my TV. So this is where it gets strange. I have had problems with some HDMI cables lately so at first when I plugged it in it didn't do anything, didn't even react. So naturally I thought it was the HDMI. I plugged it into another TV in our house and it didn't work there either. So I went out and bought another HDMI cable. Now, I try again on the TV in my room, and to my despair, there is nothing. A few things to note about my Xbox and TV here:   * While watching Digital TV with an AV or HDMI device plugged in and running, the TV gets all glitchy and basically looks like the signal is dropping out. This is not the problem but something to note.    * My Xbox is pretty early in the 360 lifespan, and is from the era of the red rings of death. My Xbox does not fully 'turn on' unless it detects an output screen. It goes into a sort of stasis while it looks for a monitor or TV to connect to, and if it can't find one it turns off after about 20 seconds.  So, I get annoyed at the fact that a brand new HDMI cable isn't working and I take it to the other TV I have and attempt to plug it into that. When I turn it on, the swirly Xbox logo comes up and makes the sounds. So I assume I plugged it in wrong in the way or something on my TV. So then I go back in and try again and nothing happens. However if I turn it back to actual TV mode, I get that glitchy sort of chopped up image that lets me know that an external device is connected and sending information to the TV. So then I connected my Android Tablet to the TV using a HDMI connector I got for it. Plug it in _the exact same port as the Xbox_ and to my surprise it spring into life and puts out an image of the tablet. So I'm super confused. The Xbox and HDMI cable are fine, as I tested them on another TV and a monitor to be sure. The HDMI port on my TV is also fine because everything BUT the Xbox seems to be able to connect to it, including my Desktop. I also know that the TV and Xbox are compatible because I was playing Xbox on the TV about 3 months ago, and it was fine. I also know that somewhere, somehow, they are 'connected' because when I press X the tray opens, and I can interact with the Xbox (also meaning it's connected somehow because it actually goes to 'full turned on' mode, as opposed to not finding the TV and turning off). Any help is super appreciated.


title: How does reputation work?

text: Is it related to influence at all? I've heard things about other CSs and civs going to war or changing their diplomatic status with you depending on how you treat other civs or CSs. Is this true? If so how does it work? Is it safe to go around smashing CSs without all the other civs and CSs getting mad at you? I would like to know how this works before starting wars. Edit: How does this effect teams? My sister and I are playing LAN and we're on the same team. If she attacks some city states, what happens to me? What happens if she starts and I help? Also, when a CS says "We have a serious dispute with X, please murder them for us," does that work the other way around? If I kill Y and help X instead, do I get anything for it?

title: Are hard tires ever better than soft ones?

text: In Gran Turismo 5, each tire type comes in three different compounds (hard, medium, soft). Softer tires have better grip but wear down quicker. This seems to suggest that in some long races, harder tires are better. However my personal experience is that the difference in durability is minimal, something like 10%. As an example, if you can go 30 laps on racing soft tires, you get 33 with racing hard. Soft tires mean better lap times, so hard tires should really do a lot better than that to be useful—it seems to me, at least. Am I overlooking something? Are hard tires useful? (other than for drifting or for being cheaper)

title: What is the highest scoring single kill possible without situational bonuses?

text: I'm not talking about with some of the situational bonuses (e.g., **First Blood** , **Revenge** , **Chain** , etc.) but a pure, single kill as if you were in the training ground. The highest scoring kill I've been able to get was a hidden, focused, incognito poisoning which nets **1000 points** (with the default score bonus for poison):   * 300 points - hidden   * 150 points - focused   * 350 points - incognito   * 200 points - poison **Is there anything I can practically do to get higher than that?*** * besides crafting the poison to have an additional 100 point bonus It's not possible to get an acrobatic kill (200 points) from a hidden spot AFAIK. It's not possible to get an aerial kill (100 points) focused and hidden AFAIK. Grab kills (450 points) are just not very common and you can't get enough of the other bonuses with it.

text: For developments like "Farming community" or "Hunter community", which restrict the types of items that can be placed within the village borders, can they have had a forbidden resource at one point as long as I don't end the era with it? Or must the village have never benefited from a prohibited resource? For example, if my farming village is on the edge of water, can I place fish so long as I remove them later?

title: Why is my army weaker than computer's army?

text: I (Castille) have 31000 men in my army (20 regiments of infantry and 11 of cavalry). Computer (Aragon) has 21000. During the battle I can see how much damage each one is producing. Every attack from them damages me 300 to 500. I only damage them 7 to 15. Why is this happening? My men have high morale. I'm in my own territory. By the end of many battles I went from 31000 to 15000 and they only lost 3000 men and even regained their forces faster than me. So pretty much I want to understand what I'm doing wrong and what exactly do I need to do to have a successful army. Also if someone can give me some pointers on the game overall.

title: PS Vita Wi-fi and tethering

text: I have an Android phone able to provide 3G data connection over WiFi Tethering, and I would like to know if the WiFi version of PS Vita is able to use it to play online and access leaderboard features or if instead is limited in some way by Sony firmware/hardware.


title: Can protoss counter mass marines in the open?

text: I've been playing around with the Hardcounter custom map to test out unit compositions, but I haven't been able to find a protoss force with comparable resource value that will counter 30 stimmed marines (this is even without medivacs) without taking advantage of force-fielding a choke. With a choke, I force-field that off then either storm them or use colossus with range upgrade to out-range them, but without a choke they can easily run around the forcefield and focus down the colossi or HT's. Speedlots surprisingly worked against an MMM ball but not against pure marines. Even counting gas as worth the same as minerals I couldn't get a working counter to 30 stimmed marines that doesn't rely on having a choke point at my disposal.


title: How do I get the 'Medical Expert 2' Tonic?

text: So, just after defeating _Sander Cohen_ , I noticed that I was able to use his key to open _Sander Cohen's Muse Box_ , which contained various goodies. However, next to the case which contained this box, is _another_ case, containing the _Medical Expert 2_ tonic. This case is not locked with a keylock, but with a numeric entry lock. I don't have the code for this lock but something more annoying seems to be occurring: When I approach the lock, I am _not_ given the usual prompts for entering codes and/or hacking. So even if I DID have the code, I don't think I would be able to use it. * * * So, can someone please explain this to me? Is something wrong with the PS3 version of the game? I would also appreciate it if the information on how to find the necessary code could be given. I am **NOT** looking for the code itself, only **how to find it**.


title: Purchasing PSVITA game / and its digital counterpart

text: I purchased _Uncharted_ and _Rayman_ as my first two games for the Vita. Already I find it annoying to have to keep going back to my bag to get the game I want to play, whereas if I just installed it or digitally downloaded it to the memory card, I could just launch it. (Lazy, I know. lol) My question is, if I buy a physical game, can I download it free from the PSN store, or is there a way to install it on the system itself from the PSV cartridge? I wouldn't mind trying it myself, but I don't want to make a mistake and buy it a second time.


title: Matchmaking in Dawn of War II

text: I have serious issues with match making algorithms in Dawn of War II: Why does it most often group the noobs together in a team and the pros together in the opposing team? Noobs can't win that way. So, do I really have to get Rank 20 before I get a chance to win in a Team Battle? And why are most of my victories not counted in the player statistics? Points get awarded, I even have replays but these victories don't show up in my statistics! Thanks for your explanations!


title: Guitar Hero game play on Wii versus XBox 360 and Playstation 3

text: I recently tried Guitar Hero World Tour on an XBox 360 the other day and am considering buying a Guitar Hero game for the Wii, my only console. My question is since the Wii does not match the hardware specs of the XBox 360 (or Playstation 3) will game play be affected negatively? The reason I ask is because in the past I've overheard or read the Wii is a poor choice for Guitar Hero because it's 'under powered' but I have no idea how founded these opinions are.

title: Titanfall periodic stuttering?

text: I just downloaded Titanfall because it was free to play for 48 hours and on my i5-4670, GTX 770 Phantom 2GB, 8GB RAM system I get 60 fps maxed out except every ten seconds the game freezes for half a second then keeps going. If I watch my fraps counter it says 60, then drops to 34 and zooms back to 60 again when it freezes. I played the Beta earlier in the year on my old system (Core 2 Quad Q9505, GTX 470, 4GB RAM) which didn't play as well but didn't stutter. On my current system I play with Vsync on but I use D3D Overrider to force triple buffering so that dropping to 55 fps with vsync doesn't drag me to down to 30. The freezing isn't game breaking but it's pretty annoying. Anyone know how to fix this? Update : It's nothing to do with my Vsync settings, I tried various combinations of Vsync options between the game and Nvidia Control Panel and D3D Overrider. It also stutters the same on the main menu.


title: Why is my closed off space lit up in Minecraft?

text: I just built this mob spawner, one of my first, and while I was headed back up to check on it the light glitched out and went from completely dark to completely lit. I've attached a video and some stills to demonstrate the problem. ![closed room lit up](http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k464/SemiSigh/1_zps3b8670bf.jpg) When I first entered the room and sealed myself in. ![closed room lit by setting sun](http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k464/SemiSigh/2_zpsc1662fca.jpg) A minute later, when the sun had begun to set. This is a free standing, above ground structure. I made sure that even the entrance I used to get in was completely closed. As you can see, the light from the sun is shining through the stone, despite completely closing myself off. It even responds to the sun's setting. I've had something like this happen before. A small area of grass that was completely lit up at night without any light source having been there. I've tried a range of things: putting up and taking down torches, adding more blocks, breaking parts of the ceiling and closing it up again. Nothing does anything. Does anyone know what glitch is causing this or what can be done to fix it? or am I going to have to tear it down and build a new one? A couple of notes: I am playing version 1.7.9, vanilla edition, single player, on a mac OSX.


title: Minecraft server startup help

text: I have been able to download the mincraft server file. `minecraft_server.1.7.10.jar version` However, I have having difficulty running it. According to the tutorial, it says to run: `-Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui` by saving it into a notepad, placing it in the same folder as the server, and double clicking it. I did this by using the rich text document as I am on a Mac. No results. So i tried running `-Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar`. no results. I am stuck, and not sure what to do next. anyone help please? UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who posted! By sorting out through identified problems and more tutorials, the server is up and running. Although I do need to work out some of the details, thanks again to everyone.


title: What is the purpose of a D Flip-Flop in Minecraft?

text: Based on the design of the circuit and on the description, what is its purpose? It says that it transfers the state of D to Q. This means it can store one bit. But what is the purpose of a D Flip-Flop when I can just put a lever on a block? This also can store one bit.


title: Are there any Minecraft username generators for available names?

text: I'm trying to buy Minecraft for my son and I've spent an hour typing in random letters and numbers and every single one is taken. All over the internet I see people talking about how many people are registered for Minecraft as an excuse, but I don't have trouble on ANY popular site finding usernames, especially typing in random characters. It's impossible to believe every single username is taken on Minecraft but not on other popular sites. So are there any generators out there that can make available names? My son has been asking for PC version since he got red-ringed on X-Box so I really don't want to let him down, but I've spent over an hour now and there are no names.

title: What's the difference between the White Tanooki Mario and the regular one?

text: I am having trouble with level 3-5 (read: I die all the time), and apparently the game decided to help me out, by placing an item box at the beginning of the level with a white and yellow striped Tanooki Leaf in it. While I appreciate the help, and think I look much better in the white Tanooki suit than I ever did in the brown one, I can't help but wonder... Are there more than aesthetic differences between the white and regular Tanooki suits? I can't tell (I am still dying a lot, in pretty much the same places, because it doesn't help me with timing my jumps... XD).

text: I need help with Minecraft forge 1.7.2 It seems to close (but not crash) forge as soon as it starts. I don't seem to know what to do (this means I have no crash reports for you or any error that pops up :/) I think it has something to do with my computer, ( I have a dell windows 7 premium 64-bit ). or Java I have tried everything. re-install forge, delete libraries, magic launcher, etc. Still closes once launched Just in case here is all my log files. fml-junk-earlysetup fml-client-latest No space for that kind of text. I suggest u download files and take a look at them. (no virus here ;p)


title: In mid-battle leveling, does that mean you have to have revealed the whole map already?

text: I kinda get the point that what you simply do for say a level 10 boss is to:   1. attack boss until his next hit will kill you.   2. kill an enemy that will level you up(so you probably need to have 29/30 exp then kill a level 1 enemy)   3. attack boss again etc I try this also but if you suddenly enter a space that you haven't explored yet, you do get the heal but the boss also heals(usually more than what i damaged him...so im back to square one) Am i doing it right? should i had explored the whole map first and setup my mid-level battle? But that means i can't heal via map anymore and must rely on 2-4 health and mana potions. right?


title: Is there any way to silence the robot companion?

text: The incessant repetition of "I was just wondering what I could do to please you!" stopped being cute the 3rd time. I couldn't use the pet to heal, because it seemed to be bugged to repeat that phrase every second or two. It's so close to the door of my ship that it chimes off every time I enter/exit. I'd delete the thing permanently if it would Just Shut Up. I don't suppose someone has figured out a way to replace a file or something similar?

Is it impossible, or just well hidden?

title: Where are the roasted pepitas?

text: I needed some to make birch candies in order to get another recipe for my sauce pan but I couldn't find them anywhere. I ended up buying 50 from an auction because I couldn't find them in the game. So where do they come from? I thought I saw something that said they came from pumpkins, but I haven't seen any pumpkins either. Apparently they are seasonal as well, but I have been playing since before Halloween, so I don't know what season pumpkins come in except the fall season? TL;DR Where in the game do roasted pepitas come from?

Do my actions in any of the stock exchange areas affect any other areas in the galaxy? For example, if I were to buy all futures for entertainment chips in stock exchange zone, will it affect the prices of entertainment chips in neighboring zones? Are the corporation stock prices affected by anything in the game? If their trading ships were to mysteriously disappear, will it drive down their stock? Finally, can I collapse the universe economy? If I were to buy all available futures in energy cells, can I create a galactic wide energy depression until everyone's forced to purchase from me and I can charge them an outrageous price?


title: Can slimes spawn in the sky of a swamp?

text: Okay, slimes will now spawn in swamp biomes. Nowhere really said if they had any other requirements beyond low light (>8 (which if I remember correctly, is math for less than eight) ) I built an 8x8 pad 5 blocks down from the skycap in a swamp, verified with f3. It had zero light and enough space for any size to spawn (enough for all but large slimes at the very least). All I had a show up few Endermen. No slimes did. Any thoughts or ideas? Or better yet any code miners have a great tidbit that I am missing? I'm using vanilla Minecraft 1.6 prerelease in survival mode without cheats. P.S. My whole goal is to not have to track down a mythical "slime chunk", but if it should come to that, I already know how, thanks though.

title: Do I need to complete X3 and Terran Conflict to understand Albion Prelude?

text: I never quite finished X3, but I bought the X3 SuperPack (or MegaBox or UltraCube or whatever it's called) that included Terran Conflict, and so when Albion Prelude came out I got that for free as well. Trying to play X3 and then both expansions seems like it would take more time than I have on hand, but I think that they fixed many of the annoyances of the original X3 in the expansions, so I kind of want to play through at least Albion Prelude. Is there a cohesive story arc between the game and its 2 expansions? Is there anything I'm missing out on if I jump right in to Albion Prelude? Are there any other requirements before I start Albion Prelude that would make it so that I have to play the others first?


title: Does hard remove all energy tanks?

If I had played these soldiers differently when they were rookies, would they have been promoted to different classes? If that is the case, what playstyle can I try to self-enforce in order to get the promotion that I want? Or is it just utterly random?

Both 6 and 10 pool send 6 zerglings across the map, and have no expansion at the normal time. Yet they each require different responses - how do I ensure I choose the correct one? I'm going `15p/15h/16g`, sending the first overlord to his natural, and second overlord (made on 9 supply) along a secondary possible attack path. Also, how should I modify my build order to counter his build? I'm currently throwing down a spine crawler against all early pools - I don't know if this is optimal though.

text: What is the distinction between these two _Diablo 1_ healing items? They cost the same, but do they recover the same amount of HP? What differentiates them? ![healing](http://i.stack.imgur.com/iPDUH.png)


title: Limitations on trading technology

text: I can't figure out what the limitations are for trading technologies to my human ally. At first I had a large list of techs to give him. Since we are doing a co-op vs AI we decided to research in different trees and just trade each other new techs. After several turns of this the game stopped letting me trade him tech even when I had just finished something that I knew he didn't have. Can anyone shed some light on this?


title: Can you disable automatic memories?

text: I have recently been playing sims 3 including all expansions so far. Generations has memories, which is great, except that everything seems to be a memory. Every time the game come up with a memory, I just click on the close button. For some reason, it gets added to my scrap book. I like the memories that I add to it, but it takes forever to delete the unwanted memories, because you need to delete them one at a time. Is there anyway to keep from having this problem, such as a disable button?

I heard that you can no longer play Diablo 2 on the current gen Macs, is this true? The reason being the new macs are intel based.


title: How can I find the actual seed code for my map?

text: When a map is created randomly, how can we find the seed that it has generated ? I want to find some cool map in single player and when I'll find one, I want to get that seed and create it on my SMP server.


title: Can you max out your level in World of Xeen without cheating?

text: Simply put, is there enough gold natively in the game to allow your characters to train to the maximum level (IIRC, 200)? Even counting bank interest accrual, I was never able to do it. I have maxed out the levels before, but it always involved hex-editing the gold in my party. (I never hex-edited experience, though; I just have a fondness for killing the Mega Dragon.)


title: Names of the ghosts or monsters in Pac-Man

text: Not sure if they're ghosts or monsters, but what are the names of those chasing our beloved and fearless hero, Pac-Man, around the maze? Do they even have names? Do they also have distinct personalities?


title: What is the highest score obtainable in Pac-Man?

text: What is the highest score possible, if you eat all the dots, all the fruit and all the monsters?


title: How to find magma in Dwarf Fortress

text: What's a good way to find magma in Dwarf Fortress v0.31.08 (or thereabouts)? (Preferably without cheating.) I know if I dig straight down I'll eventually find some, but I usually wind up breaking into an underground cave with unfriendly creatures and I'd like to avoid that. Also, I'd like it to be a little closer to the surface so I don't have to build some kind of insanely large pump stack to move the magma up to a useful level. Should magma like this be available on most maps or is it highly dependent on embark location? Should I look 20 levels down and dig a grid? 40 levels?


title: Big Bank Job - 12 Angry Minutes

text: In the Big Bank Job, there is an achievement for accomplishing the entire job in 12 minutes. **What pre-planning options and actions within the bank are essential to finish this job as per the requirements of the achievement?** Assume I'm using a group of 4 players, no AI, and we're playing on normal difficulty as I would expect it would be easier to do on this mode.


title: How to get Derkeethus out of the cave?

text: How to get Derkeethus out of the cave? I've tried pushing him and finally attacking him... i dont know what else to do. He wont go out either exit. Any ideas?


title: I can't install a second mod

text: I went and installed Forge (1.7.2) and such. I downloaded Buildcraft (1.7.2) and it worked perfectly, but when I went to download Tinkers Construct (1.7.2), it would give me crash reports. Is there something I'm missing?


title: When does the difficulty increase in Tallowmere?

text: Sometimes when I enter a room I get the message "Your enemies grow stronger...". How does the game decide when to do that? I haven't found any pattern to it, and it's putting a damper on my enjoyment of the game, because it seems to happen more often the more powerful I am. This means that finding an epic weapon isn't really that great, because it seems like the game immediately adjusts the difficulty so that I'm no more powerful than before.


title: How do I avoid un-equipping weapons I want to craft with?

text: When I go to create metal out of duplicate items in TF2, I often find that the duplicate item I want is an item I have equipped. Invariably, even though I have multiple copies of this weapon, it will always use the equipped item copy and un-equip that item from my character, forcing me to re-equip it afterwards. It would be a lot easier if I could just always use the item _not_ equipped, thus saving me from having to fix my loadouts every time I craft with an equipped item. Is there a way to choose an un-equipped copy of an item for crafting purposes?


title: How do I fix MechWarrior 3's rubber-banding framerate and get it running perfectly?

text: So I've seen this topic danced around a lot but if anyone has a solid fix, you'd cement your place as a patron saint of Mechwarriors. It seems to me the only, final hitch in getting Mechwarrior 3 operational is the bizarre rubber-banding framerate, most notable when you actually try to get anywhere - you'll slow to a crawl before eventually rocketing off, only to slow once more and the cycle continues. And the really aggravating thing is I /KNOW/ I got it working once by some fluke years ago, but the results have been thus far unreproducible. The problem is it appears to me to be rendering at a constant, good smooth framerate but the actual game itself has weird time fluctuations. It could simply be that because the game slows down along WITH the framerate it only _appears_ smooth but it's hard to say. Looking at the mission clock it becomes extremely apparent, and the speed of the moving overcast sky texture is another good indicator. The physics meanwhile tend to get upset by this rubberbanding time, and anyone familiar with trying to get this game to work will already know all about the 'bouncing APC' problem. For my part, I'm running Windows 7-64bit with an NVidia GeForce GTX 680 under the hood, and I've tried with what feels like every possible permutation of compatibility modes, running it with/without the oft-touted loader, etc. Here's the current Nvidia settings; ![Nvidia Settings](http://i.stack.imgur.com/JUaDE.png) The closest I've yet achieved has been using the Nvidia Inspector to limit the framerate to 30fps, but there MUST be a definitive solution. So I implore you, if you think you've got the answer, bring it on.


title: How to locate imprisoned lord to rescue him

text: I've been trying to locate a lord (Count Matheas) that has been imprisoned for around a month. I went through all the castles and cities of the faction that is detainning him but I cannot find him anywhere. How can I locate him so I can rescue him? Can I talk to a NPC that is able to tell me where he is or could be?


title: Is there an app that generates chunks for Minecraft maps using a command line?

text: I'm looking for an application that takes a seed and some parameters (such as X,Z coords and radius etc) and builds the files that contain chuck data. I want this so that I can load a large area and then upload this to a map generator site like http://www.minecraftworldmap.com so that I can see a large area of the map before I play the game.


title: When can I get Haedrig's conversations for the Hassling Haedrig achievement?

text: The achievement says to "Listen to all of the Blacksmith's conversations." Because some of these are missable, I'd like to know when Haedrig's conversations first become available and if and when they become unavailable. The _Weary Blacksmith_ seems particularly missable.
