title: Is it possible to increase the local Vis Aura?

text: I discovered my base is in an area with very low background magic, which is unfortunate. Is there a way to grow/strengthen the nearest aura node? I know Crystal Clusters help a bit, but they can only push the background Vis to 110%, which is next to nothing in my case (80 -> 88), and they generate Flux.

text: In example, if I make my companion wear full set of Dwarven armor, will she get some kind of reward bonus (like in Diablo) for wearing full set?


title: Why is my Minecraft 1.3.9 Launcher refusing to launch the game?

title: Medal of Honor: Allied Assault patch 1.11 not working

text: I have installed Medal of Honor Allied Assault and its working fine. Then I installed patch 1.11, now whenever I start a mission everything freezes.

So, even though "Assist the people of Haafingar (5/5)" has been completed, it annoyingly shows up in the Journal under misc. quests (I'm guessing that's the reason for this bug). What is the console command to remove this? Please help because a soiled journal irks me like a thorn :)


title: How can I install mods for Minecraft's vanilla server?

text: I've seen this question answered for bukkit but not vanilla minecraft server. I've been told that vanilla minecraft does not support mods but when I go to buildcraft's main site, (http://www.mod-buildcraft.com/installation/manual- server/), it is alluding to installing using the vanilla Minecraft server. Also, he states that the bukkit version of his mod is maintained by someone else (so his server mod should be for vanilla Minecraft, right?) I've even seen a youtube video on how to install ModLoaderMP for vanilla Minecraft server, but when I follow those directions and run the server, I get an error saying the jar was corrupt. How do I install mods for vanilla Minecraft?

text: I get the key at the beginning of the level, but the stage doesn't start: the locks open but the screen stays fixed. The boss jumps up and down, always in the center of the screen. Is this a known bug, somehow work-aroundable? I guess I could copy the savegame to a windows box and play there this level, hoping it works?

title: Why is my League of Legends client crashing and experiencing multiple bugs?

text: Somehow, after upgrading my laptop to Windows 8, my League of Legends client tends to crash while the game is loading (after champion selection). I have to manually kill the client in Task Manager, re-log into the client, and launch the match again. This occurs on an average of 5-20 times in a single session before I could get into the match. When I do get into a match, the in-game screen is bugged: I can't see my champion, stats, other players/enemies..nothing. I also find that after a crash, the game takes a long time to spawn the champion in the match. The progress goes from 0% - 35% then stops, and then it starts moving about 1% every 2-3 minutes. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?


title: Is there any way to make Bit.Trip Fate lefty-friendly?

text: I am lefthanded, and am trying to play Bit.Trip Fate on the 3DS, which requires me to use the analog stick with the left hand, and the stylus with my right. This is incredibly awkward, and borders on impossible - I have very little control with the stylus in my right hand. Is there any way I can switch the controls so that it is easier (preferably a way that includes the ability to use the stylus in my left hand)? Or am I doomed to never be good at Bit.Trip Fate on the 3DS?

title: Is there a reliable way to double assassinate?

text: I'm playing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood but I assume this applies to AC2 as well. I'm trying to do an especially difficult Borgia captain assassination and it's proving frustrating because double assassinations seem to be very hit-and- miss. Sometimes I only assassinate one instead of both. Is there any surefire way to do it?

title: How do I unlock the level 2 ability of the Sword of the Griffin?

text: I'm playing through the second mission of the tutorial campaign in Heroes 6 and the only remaining quest (short of finishing the mission) is to get attuned to the Sword of the Griffin. I'm online and connected to the CONFLUX servers, so that's not an issue. I also thought that I had to reach dynasty level 2 and the quest would complete, but that doesn't seem to be the case either. What do I have to do, exactly?


title: Do all merchants have replacements?

text: I'm aware that there are some merchants who will have successors take over their shops in the case of their death or other untimely circumstances which draw them away. Does this apply to all of them? Is there a list of these somewhere? This particularly came up because I recently had a dragon raid Riverwood and, along with several guards and Faendel, kill Alvor.

title: What are powerful forms to polymorph into?

text: I've obtained and identified a ring of polymorph control for the first time, and I'm wondering how I can abuse this ability to the fullest.   * What forms are good for combat? I'm especially interested in forms that let me keep wearing my armor and weapons (or at least don't destroy them).   * What forms offer other bonuses (e.g. metalivores gaining intrinsics from eating metal rings)?


title: How do I make the guards in Markarth stop being hostile?

text: I killed some Imperial Soldiers in the Reach far away from the city, then ported back to Markarth via fast travel. I have no bounty in the Reach, I checked, but all the guards and NPCs in the city either run or attack me on sight. Nobody ever confronted me about having a bounty even when I sheathed my weapon repeatedly. I tried to run away to get them to stop, but that only ended with me standing a long ways outside the city with 20+ guards, thalmor, and the jarl, his housecarl, and his steward all attacking me. I used "setbountygold" (or whatever that command is) and it did nothing. I tried stealing cabbages, but I never got any bounty notifications. What is going on and how can I stop the guards being hostile?


title: Are heal on hit also applied on dot effects?

text: In Diablo 3, I wonder if my life on hit also heals me on DOT effects. More specifically, I have a Barbarian with a certain amount of heal per hit. If I were to use the Rend spell (AOE DOT around me), would every damage tick, heal me for the full amount which is displayed in character details screen?


title: What are the most powerful spells for the listed magic types?

text: I want to know what the most powerful spells (providing actual metrics) are for each of the following magic types:   * Force/Beam Effect (Right-click)      1. Beams     2. Projectile Bombs     3. Projectile Barrages   * Area Of Effect (Hold shift while right clicking)      1. Novas   * Imbue Weapon (Hold shift while left clicking)      1. Elemental Blades     2. Arcane Blades     3. Fissure Blades   * Shield Effect      1. Walls     2. Storms     3. Mines     4. Resistance Auras     5. Barriers I realize there have been questions about parts of this in the past, but none of them have quantifiable metrics. Without data its hard to evaluate the quality of other answers.


title: Exploring systems in Mass Effect 2

text: Is there any point in exploring systems that do not have a mission associated with them, besides resource gathering? For example are there any hidden side quests or random encounters to be found? **EDIT:** To be more clear, are there any quests or random encounters which are not previously referred to or marked in any way, and thus can **only** be found by scanning planets? I have "found" a couple of missions by scanning planets but in each case the mission location was already marked on the system map.

text: I just installed Team Fortress 2 on Ubuntu 11.10 x64 with Wine 1.3. It works, but I am missing fonts or something. In the servers dialog, the fonts seem blury. In other dialogs (using those "Team Fortress 2's Fat/Comic like Font"), there are no next visible at all. The tooltip works tho. I believe I must be missing something? The graphics performance is also poor. Laggy and appears very dark If I can I will take some screenshots


title: How can I access Tonilia after the final quest without the Thieves' Guild armor?

text: Okay. I don't give a skeever tail about _having_ the item, but I do care about finishing the quest. I hadn't bothered to do the Thieves' Guild quests for quite a while after initially joining (and promptly selling the armor) back at the 30 hours of gameplay mark. At about 160 hours of gameplay I went back to go finish up the thieves guild quests and wrap up gathering the very last of the stones. After all that work and all that collecting, the armor I sold about 110 play hours earlier is stopping me from completing my last achievement. Is there any workaround that works on the Xbox 360 and does **not** involve going back 100+ gameplay hours?


title: Does playing against insane AI help in multiplayer games?

text: From what I see playing insane A.I. opponent teaches you to play well, especially the early game. Insane opponents usually build a big army quickly and attack you in 4-6 minutes. If you can't earn a lot of resources quickly and manage them properly, you will lose. Training against the AI robably that won't work for platinum and diamond players, but definitely helps for those who are silver/gold or new players. Is this true, or is it better just to play usual multi-player games?


title: How do I disable players from building/placing blocks in a certain area of minecraft server?

text: I'm trying to do the quest "Slime mold of the gods" and think I've mapped all of the Scarlet Pillars, but apparently not because I can't find the glowing tree described in the quest. Where can I find it?


title: What types of kills are counted on Strange Flamethrowers?

text: When playing Team Fortress 2, I noticed that my Strange Flare Gun had more than double the amount of kills my Strange Degreaser had (I started using both of them at about the same time). Even though I'm quite good at aiming the Flare Gun, I found it odd that my primary weapon had a lot less kills than my secondary. This got me thinking; obviously the weapon counts the kills obtained by directly killing using the weapon, but what about **kills caused by afterburn damage** or **kills from reflected projectiles**?


title: How can I copy my class unlocks between computers?

text: I played Hack Slash Loot for a few hours on one computer (Windows version) and unlocked the Knight class. The Windows version of the game consists of a single .exe file and I didn't see any other files created in the folder I'd unzipped it to which might hold the player data, nor did I find it under "My Documents" or any of its subdirectories. Where can I find the player data so that I can copy my progress to another computer?


title: How can I get games to stop pausing automatically when the controller turns off?

text: I'm playing through Fable III as a good guy, so I need to amass a ton of cash. I own everything there is to own in Albion - now it's time to wait for those income payments to roll in. When my Xbox controller turns off after a period of inactivity, the game pauses and income stops coming in until I touch it again. This is not ideal. Can I either   * Get the game or the Xbox to stop pausing when the controller goes to sleep; or   * Get the controller to stop going to sleep after a period of inactivity?


title: Can I save Faridah Malik?

text: I just got back to China the second time around. After our helicopter was shot down, Malik tells me to run while the guards are distracted by the chopper. On my way out, I tried killing as many guards as possible, but she was still killed along with the helicopter. If I was able to take down all the guards (and the robot) fast enough, could I have saved her?

You know, the third one when talking to > The Illusive Man at the end of the game. My reputation meter looks to be maxed out, or at least fairly close. Is there anything beyond just rep that influences that check? The wiki article on the mission seems to indicate that there is more than just rep, but doesn't elaborate.


title: What happens if I'm able to choose the third paragon dialog option with the illusive man?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How do you get the last paragon/renegade dialogue option towards the end of > the game? This question will be filled with spoilers. Despite having played a perfect paragon playthrough, I was unable to select the third paragon dialog choice in the final confrontation with the illusive man. It said something like "but you already have". I had to choose a normal option, which led to a renegade interrupt that I took, shooting and killing him, but saving Anderson (for a little while at least) What would've happened if I chose it? Would I have convinced him?


title: Is there any way to reuse a boat?

text: I would like to know how to dock or pick up my boat. I've been unsuccessful with this in the past, either breaking the boat on land or just leaving it behind. It would save a lot of time and materials if i didn't have to make 5 boats for a single expedition.

title: Backing up saves to computer (while subscribed to PS+)

text: After much searching, I managed to find my saves in the Content Manager, but only under "Online Storage" (PS+). The heading for `PS Vita System → Online Storage` is "Saved Data (PS Vita)". ![PS Vita System → Online Storage](http://i.stack.imgur.com/pJUrt.jpg) ![Saved Data \(PS Vita\)](http://i.stack.imgur.com/FkGGo.jpg) When attempting `PS Vita System → PC`, the only "Saved Data" options are "PSP/Other" and "PlayStation" (no "Saved Data (PS Vita)" option). ![PS Vita System → PC](http://i.stack.imgur.com/yGrxv.jpg) Is this because PS+ online backups override this setting? Do I need to disconnect my PSN account in order to move the saves to my computer? Or is this setting not normally available in the PC menu anyway? How can I back up these saves?


title: What difference does it make who my ministers are?

text: After building a ministry, I'm allowed to pick who I want to take the various ministry positions. Each candidate has three attributes listed, with a ranking from terrible to excellent (or something like that). What difference does my choice make? Are certain edicts more or less effective based on the attributes of the corresponding minister? There doesn't seem to be any feedback.


title: Where can I find good level creation tutorials for Little Big Planet 2?

text: I would like to know how to create better/more advanced levels in little big planet 2. However, the in-game tutorials don't explain some things (like how to create cars, gates, etc). I think that the in-game tutorials just overview what tools you can use, not how to use them. I would like to have something I can print to read while I create.


title: What's special about the zodiac weapons?

text: Some chapters in _Kid Icarus: Uprising_ have hidden rooms with special weapons in them, named after zodiac signs. For example, in chapter 2 you can find the Sagittarius Bow. These seem to be unique items; if you replay the level it's no longer in the room. But at least as they are when you get them, they don't seem to be much better than the other weapons available. Is there a way to improve them? Do they have other special abilities? Or should I be fusing them? If I do, is there a way to get another again later?

But today I put Shuckle in and I got 90% Rugged Mountain, with **at least** 13 Collect Gems.


title: Graphics colour problem

text: I am getting slightly peculiar graphics in Far Cry 3. It looks rather like there is some colour quantisation going on - the shadows are pitch black, and change to lighter colours abruptly. This is particularly noticeable is dark areas like caves, where it looks almost like an old 16bit colour game (although not that extreme). I have also noticed it on faces, where there are quite clear contours between colour shades. At the same time, some of the lighter areas are too light, e.g. the beach sand is amost completely white. I have tried tweaking all the calibration settings, but nothing seems to get rid of it. Has anyone else noticed this effect, or have any suggestions of what I can try to get rid of it? I have a 24" Samsung HD LED monitor, and a radeon HD 7850 graphics card. Other games look great, so I'm pretty sure its some setting in this game. **Edit:** Here's a screenshot showing what I mean: (Click on image to view original, high resolution image.)   ![screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ucnEl.jpg) I've tried updating the drivers, switching to DX9, but neither make any difference.


title: What's the best bow / gear available according to my Perks?

text: I am currently playing the style I love the most : `Stealth Archer with a Bit of Conjuration` . I currently have two points in the `Smithing Tree` (base point + Arcane Blacksmith), and I don't know if I will be able to spend more points in this tree. I will probably have points to spare here, since I will only invest points in Stealth, Archery, base for one handed, and some points at conjuration. I am currently using the level 46 version of the Nightingale Bow Upgraded (for leveled items,check here) with 100 base smithing (no pots or break exploit), plus the nightingale set with no upgrades so far. **My questions are:** 1 - Would it be better to have a Daedric Bow Upgraded with the smithing perk for daedric, still with the Nightingale Bow upgraded with Arcane Blacksmithing Perk, or to spend just a few more points to have a Glass Bow and upgrade it with its Perk? (I've read in some sources that Glass bow can outdamage Daedric, and it is cheaper to achieve its perk) 2 - About the Gear. The Nightingale Set provides very good bonuses to a stealthy gameplay, even though I am using Krosis mask  instead of the Hood. Is it better to use Glass Set for the same gameplay style? **Edited: I wrote Daedric, but it is heavy, my bad.** 3 - About the Melee Weapons, I am currently using a Glass Dagger upgraded with no perk, just to help Assassination, and for Melee combat (out of stealth) I am using level 46+ Version of Chillrend and Nightingale Blade (which I now realized that for some reason, it can't be improved with smithing). Which would be the best Dagger (for assassination purposes) and swords (for melee out of stealth combat) for me have.


title: How can I heal my companion (or tell them to heal themselves)?

text: It seems, that even though he has the health of a decaying Ewok, my Jedi Knights first companion - the droid T7 - loves to build up the threat level.

text: I know the there's hadōken (波動拳, wave-motion fist) for the ball of fire/plasma. Does anyone know what they say for the jumping uppercut and the helicopter kick? If the words changed over time, I'm particularly interested in what they say in Street Fighter II.

text: I am playing a stealth archer character and I started to check on the weapons weights which led me to start wondering about how the weight of a bow matters. **Overview of the Drawing Process** Draw Speed: Firing a bow has three stages:   1. Nock the arrow.   2. Draw the bow.   3. Loose the arrow and recoil. The nock stage appears to take about 0.4s and the recoil stage about 0.6s regardless of bow or perks. The time required for a full draw varies, however --heavier bows take longer to draw, and the Quick Shot perk increases the draw speed. **Pros of a Lightweight Bow**   * Faster draw speed   * Higher DPS for top smithing quality and enchantments   * Hit effects applied more often   * Arrow bonus damage   * Smithing bonus damage   * Weapon enchantment effects   * Power Shot, Bullseye effects   * Less overkill wastage on average   * Less weight to carry around   * Easier/cheaper to find/make **Pros of a Heavyweight Bow**   * Higher damage   * Higher DPS with poor to moderate smithing quality and enchantments   * Fewer resources consumed   * Arrows   * Weapon enchantment charges   * Aim time   * Zoom stamina   * Higher first-shot damage (e.g. sneak attacks) So, what would be the better option? I like to shoot things fast. Should I choose the Glass Bow upgraded with smithing as my best option or Nightingale Bow?


Does "Critical Strike Chance" increases the chance of assassinating? Since the "Assassination" scene is only shown if you have enough damage for one shotting the human in question, critical strike would raise the total damage of the strike. In theory this would allow you to to assassinate humans with more health points than you would be able to without a critical strike. Also, would 15x damage with a decent dagger would be enough most of the times (at master difficulty) to assassinate the victim, making the critical strike chance an "overkill" in this situation ? By "Decent Dagger" I mean : Mehrunes' razor, upgraded glass dagger or above. Thanks in advance.

title: What is the purpose of the Shinjuku Map item?

text: One of the items released via QR codes for Etrian Odyssey 4 is called the "Shinjuku Map." However, I haven't found anywhere in the game that uses the map. Is it possibly for content that isn't released yet (maybe a free dungeon kinda like how Fire Emblem has some free areas)? Or does it serve some other purpose? Source (I just noticed the .html file name for that URL when I pasted it.. interesting. Related?)


title: Bee Sharps sponsored by Albert Fink

text: This is a question about the Bee Sharps, a barbershop quartet group we come across very early in the game. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/FSL2C.jpg) Spoilers in question below: > The first time we see them, they are singing the God Only Knows a song > released by the Beach Boys in 1966, some 50 years before the events in the > game took place.

Since the group is sponsored by the industrialist > Jeremiah Fink brother Albert Fink, does that mean at some point he (or both > of them) had access to the time rifts in the game?

title: How do I perform a high speed car jack?

text: There is a control called "Active Hijack" which I have got bound to `Q`.

title: How to build Katarina?

text: Katarina I found is a very strong character in League of Legends that mops up the floor at the end of the battle destroying all of the survivors. Katarina has generally low cooldown and her passive is a cooldown reduction after a kill or an assists. Therefore in most of the game the suggestive items are items that increase ability power. However, in turns of runes for Katarina I am clueless. I had watched off of a youtube video one person who put everything on cooldown reduction and Katarina's shunpo ends up going down to around 3 seconds! What items, runes, skins, and masteries would you put on Katarina? Thanks, Kubtops

I land right into a shop on level 2. I try to leave the store, but step on an unpaid item with autopickup on.               "For you, most gracious lady; only 1 for this gray stone."     v - a gray stone (unpaid, 1 zorkmid).      No biggie. (I had 29$ anyway.)               What do you want to drop?

title: Is it possible to get the saved game progress from PS4 to PC?

text: I have been playing Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag on my PS4 a lot. I was just going to play through it once and sell it. Didn't expect it to be this good. I've spent over 30 hours on it. I want to get it on steam (primarily a PC gamer). Because all progress is backed up on the cloud etc, don't have PSN and won't be getting it. Is it possible to get game progress so far from my PS4 game to the PC game? like the save data file? I backed it up from the PS4 to a USB stick, I think the PC game will not recognize it. I would want to avoid spending another 30 hours to get to the level I am in the game. Hoping that there is a solution.


title: Do the parts of exploration achievements for each act reset between logins if you haven't completed them?

text: On my second time logging in to play (first play-through), on the quest to kill the skeleton king, I decided to also pick up the Act 1 exploration achievements, like `A Nice Place to Visit` and `Thorough Investigation`. I discovered that I hadn't received credit for any of the sections of `A Nice Place to Visit`, most of which I had clearly already passed through, but was forced to revisit. Do these sub-sections of exploration achievements get wiped, if you haven't completed the full achievement, when the maps are regenerated on login?

title: How do "Lost Places" work?

text: My Scouts have found weird non-dungeon "places" on some of the maps. I'm told these are called "Lost Places". I have found several in my travels but still have no idea what they do or how exactly you get them.   * What do they do? Just give me items when found?   * How do I find them? Just scouting any random place?   * I'm told distrusting Lost Place info changes which Lost Place is unlocked. How does that work?


title: Diablo 3 multiplayer and quest progress?

text: There's plenty of questions here on multiplayer and questing, but I can't seem to find any answering this particular question. I just joined my brothers game to give him some items, and afterwards I have to kill Belial again. When resuming my own game, I was back at an earlier point in my quests, so I left the game, and selected the item to pick my quest start, and I could not pick a point _after_ killing Belial. Is there some definite information how quest progress is influenced due to multiplayer? For instance, how can I know, say after killing Belial, that I'm at a particular point where it would be safe for me to join a player that hasn't progressed as far, without me loosing any progress myself?

Is there a simple way to spread units out without retreating in StarCraft 2? What I want here is to make it harder for splash damage to occur on units, but also easier to select my own units if they need to attack specific targets.

title: How do I legitimately find the codes for the door and vault in chapter 2-3?

text: My daughter is currently playing through Super Paper Mario on the Wii and has reached Chapter 2-2, the one where you "break" the vase and are put to slave labour to earn a million Rubees... unless you're smart enough to escape. The problem is for the life of me I can't remember how to get the codes to the door on the 2nd floor or the vault hidden on the 3rd (and she won't let me take the controller and work it out for her). I've had a look at a few walkthroughs and they all just _give you the code_ for the vault. So, outside of this obvious cheat, how would you legitimately get the codes for the doors?


title: What affects your "pass grade" in Crayon Physics Deluxe?

text: After solving the first few levels in Crayon Physics my "world map" looks like this: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jVTrg.jpg) It appears I earned two flags on the first level, one flag on the following two, no flag for the fourth, then I earned two flags and... a ball. Is that just cosmetic, or does it depend on how well I did? If so, how can I improve this score?


title: What do you lose if you decide to play offline-only?

text: I'm wondering what in-game experience you may lose if you decide to play offline-only in Dark Souls 2. Of course you can't invade or be invaded or request for help but I'm more concerned about the story / NPC / secrets. Do you lose something by playing offline?


title: Dropping Quests in Hearthstone

text: In Blizzard's Hearthstone, you are given the option of "dropping" a quest one time per day. This will replace it with a "random" quest. The trouble is, some quests are worth 40 gold, others 60 and one is 100 gold. My question is, if you drop a 60 gold quest, will you always be given another 60 gold quest, or could you end up with a 40 or the 100 gold quest? (I have always been too fearful of losing 20 gold to test this out!)

text: While playing Mario Party and passing the Ghost, you can steal coins for free.

The outcome appeared random to me.


title: Can not set my destination to Raneilles

text: I can not set my destination to Raneilles. The 10th noob quest for military needed me to go there, I spent 1 hour trying to go, after failing I decided to drop the quest. (Is there a way to get it back?) Now I am doing the 2nd quest for business, it wants me to go the same place. There is no warp to location option When I say set destination it says: “Can’t set waypoint to same location twice” When I activate autopilot it says: “Autopilot engaged” 2 secs later: “Autopilot disabled - No waypoints set” The route tab is empty i.e. “No Destination” How am I going to go there? (This only happens for Raneilles) Edit: As seen in this picture only the Raneilles is white while the others are yellow/green. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/spL09.jpg)


title: Does being Level 5 Blacksmith make sense in Normal mode?

text: I managed to get to the last upgrade of level 4 in blacksmith in the end of act I by using the party money to upgrade only one character. From now, I need these blacksmith pages to upgrade, and they can only be obtained in Nightmare mode (or on act IV, whatever). I craft items that are already useful or will soon be useful, i.e., level requirement on items is not my worry now. The bad thing is that now it's gonna be a little hassle to get those pages before Nightmare, so I want to know, is it viable to upgrade? More specifically: do all items made in level 5 require high level (~ 35+), or more important, do they take more stuff to prepare that I do not have access now, on act II?

The only enemy he can attack is in a riposte stance and I do not want to take damage from attacking him with my hammer.. I want to skip his turn and then attack with the main character who happens to have a bow equip. Is this possible?


title: Is there another way to listen to quest dialogues or watch in-game cinematics if the party leader constantly skips them?

text: I started playing with an old college buddy on what I would consider my "main" character. This is the character that I plan on beating the game with first. During my first playthrough I have been exploring everything, clicking on everything, and listening to all of the quest and non-quest dialogues, and cinematics (both in-game and cutscene). He was already in Act II and I was finishing up Act I. Because of this he joined my game. I quickly found out that he could skip the quest dialogues on the quests I was doing, which caused me to miss the voice-overs and have to read it plain text style. He also later skipped an in-game cutscene that I hadn't seen before (I believe he was party leader at the time as well). While playing multiplayer with other people, is there any way to turn in my own quests or prevent the party leader from skipping cutscenes?


title: Can't enter name or biography during character creation

text: When creating a character in Icewind Dale, I have no problems until I reach the biography and name entering. In both these screens I am unable to enter any letters, a small "b" enters continuously until there is no more space left and if I press delete another "b" takes its place. This happened when in Baldurs Gate II as well, but somehow was fixed by leaving the game and returning; this is not the case with Icewind Dale. I would really like to name my character, I dont really care about the biography. Any suggestions as to what could be causing this?


title: This program is running low on memory

text: So, my computer's been having problems running Warframe. I run Warframe at the max possible low settings, and intermittently between games my computer would tell me I was running low on memory. Some basic specs, I have an i5 that runs at 1.8Ghz, and 6gb of RAM, 2gb of dedicated VRam on a Nvidia 720M. Now, I thought that the problem must have been not having enough memory, so I bought a new memory module, so that I now have 12gb of RAM, 2gb of dedicated VRam. I'm still getting the same problem. My computer is running hot all the time, even with additional RAM, RAM that I thought would help alleviate the problem of running the game. I'm not sure if it's just me, but how would I get "more memory" for the game itself? I've noticed in Task Manager that even when running Warframe, it only takes up 4-5gb of memory, still leaving me with plenty of leftover memory, yet my computer insists it is running low on memory. I have tried setting priority, and that does nothing as well.


title: Will the computer ever choose not to receive the opening kickoff?

text: I've now played about a dozen games of Madden 12, and I have never seen the computer choose anything but to receive the opening kickoff when they were able to choose. I myself prefer to kick so that I get the ball to start the second half. As such, I was wondering if the computer will ever choose to either receive or choose a side to defend (when they also have the option of choosing kick/receive).

title: What's a good strategy to get the Flower Power achievement?

text: I'm playing Plants vs. Zombies on the iPhone and one of the achievements is "Flower Power: Keep 10 Twin Sunflowers Alive in a Single Level". I've tried on many different levels - standard, water, fog, rooftop - but the level doesn't seem to last long enough for me to even plant 10, let alone keep them alive. The cooldown for twin sunflowers is just too long! So what am I missing? What's a good way to get this achievement?


title: Where the heck is Timbuktu?

text: After playing several "normal" games with european states, I now want to go for some of the more curious Steam achievements in the hopes of finding a different gaming experience. I decided to give **_Nobody wants to die_** a try: > **Nobody wants to die**   >  Own Timbuktu as Songhai The only problem is, I neither know where Timbuktu nor Songhai are. (My guess is somewhere in Asia, but where?) While in the game, you can open a province and nation search dialog by pressing `f`, but this does not work in the nation select dialog when you want to start a game. **How do you find nations or provinces while in the nation selection dialog at the main menu?** PS: I am well aware I could just consult Wikipedia and find out where they are at 1444. However, I am more interested in a general solution so I don't have to do major research for every nation I want to play as. I am sure there is a search function somewhere that I am missing.

title: Can Rocket Boots be found in Chests?

text: One of the few items I have yet to obtain in Terraria is a pair of rocket boots. Common wisdom is that they drop from the goblin invasions that occur every so often. Scuttlebutt says they _also_ spawn in chests on floating islands or in dungeons. I have scoured both wikis, but the only mention of finding rocket boots in chests is in this youtube video: Obviously, if rocket boots _can't_ be found in chests I shouldn't waste my time finding floating islands or battling Skeletron, so I am looking for some independent confirmation that they are a possible chest item in the first place (Or at least some volume of proof more than a single mention in a single youtube video).


title: How to fix the DVD lense PS2 voltage?

text: I still have my PS2 and I decided to play some of my old favorite games. It only plays CD games, so it plays anything PS1 and some PS2 games such as Half- Life as they are CD games. The PS2 does not read DVD disks. I have already taken it apart, and was able to fix the CD voltage, but not the DVD voltage, and I don't remember it's original position. I have the slim PS2, and I've been turning it for the past several hours. How do I find the original position for the DVD voltage, and play my favorite DVD games again? ![](http://www.ps2parts.com/images/laser_adjust.jpg)


title: Will my bad karma catch up to me eventually?

text: This game features what I'll call a "Bioware-style conversation wheel" wherein there are usually a set of responses possible to any given conversation element. For instance, if someone tells me: > Gracius Noticus: Thank you [HERO NAME] for saving my badgers from that evil > demon! Hiljonijiujurr be praised! And then my responses must be from the following:   * (Left on the stick - exposition) I'm confused. What's a badger?   * (Up and right on the stick - Heroic) No need to thank me, m'lady. It's all in a day's work! Keep your reward so you can afford more badger food!   * (Right on the stick - Persuade) (82.9%) Gimmie more money. Now would be good. And any magic daggers you might have lying around your house.   * (Down and right on the stick - Evil) RAWR HERO LIKE TASTY BADGER! (eat badger) I've got a few points into "Persuasion" so I tend to pick the "more reward/blackmail" option most often. In most of the games that feature this type of system that I'm used to (for example, Fable or Mass Effect) there are long-term consequences to my actions. If I'm persistently a "nice guy" I might get rewarded or my appearance might change, or I might unlock special "Hero" abilities. So far though, I've not seen any indication of this - no "Paragon" points are popping up or any indication I'm gaining/losing "karma" or whatever. Is there any long-term "karma" system in in this game? What rewards are there for what milestones on it?


title: Recruit A Friend Bonus Levels

Also, until what level can you accumulate bonus grant-able levels, and do you have to level together to get the grant-able levels? And lastly, can these levels be granted from any of the recruited player's characters (bonus levels then being bound to account), or only from the one that has been leveled (bonus levels bound to character)?

title: Receiving tesseract does not interact with build-craft transport pipes

text: Almost on every tutorial video, I watched about `Thermal Expansion` tesseracts, receiving one can output items to build craft transport pipes (gold or stone). The thing is I use `Thermal Expansion 3.0.0.2` mod which has only one type of tesseracts (Not energy, fluid and item like was earlier. Now it's three in one.). And the problem is that receiving tesseract does not output items to transport pipes. It can easily interact with any kind of chests attached directly to it (even with `Applied Energistics chests`), but not with the pipes. What am I doing wrong or how to fix this? The following configuration does not work: **Sending tesseract:** ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mp8os.png) **Receiving tesseract:** ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/D2AI8.png) But if I put chest directly to the receiving tesseract items are transported properly.

title: Differences between PSP models

text: I've never really kept up to date with the whole world of PSP, however, finding myself wanting to play a couple of games like Crisis Core that are only available on the device, I find myself confused. I was basically hoping that someone could clear up what exact differences there are between the models; Looking around I see there are 'Series' (i.e. 1000, 2000, 3000) and the individual models within that series (i.e. 2000, 2004, etc). Can anyone offer an insight into what to look out for? And also, do I need to keep an eye out for anything when considering the firmware? (like do older models not accept newer firmware).

title: Is EVE Online turn-based behind the scenes?

text: This came up as an argument. As far as I know most MMOs employ a _soft_ "turn- based" mechanism to compensate for lag, and allow complicated actions to be performed ("cooldown" etc). They are sometimes called "tick based" systems as well. Obviously EVE Online doesn't have a turn-based gameplay but does it employ turn-based game mechanics? Otherise it means that faster internet connection or living in Iceland could be an advantage in combat.


title: How do I respec my character in Diablo 3?

text: In Diablo 2 there is a way to respec your character skills and attributes. I have not see anything yet as the game is being released tomorrow, but how/is it possible to respec your characters if you don't like the build that you've selected? The skill calculator shows what you can pick and what runes you can select, but I have not been able to find any news on the ability to change/respec these features of your character. Do you simply get all the abilities and just swap them in/out like you did with Spec/Glyphs in World of Warcraft?


title: Does FIFA have an Online Community feature?

text: I've been playing Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 and I really like the idea behind the Online Community feature in which you create a Community, invite your friends, create tournaments, leagues and all the results are kept in record for you. I am wondering if FIFA 12 has a similar feature and if it does, what are the pros and cons compared to PES 2012. Thanks!

title: Is there a limit to the number of XBox 360's you can connect using system link?

text: I'm inviting some people round for a Halo night and I'm going to ask them to bring their own TVs/XBox 360s is there a limit to the number of XBox 360s you can connect using system link? I have a switch and I'll be connecting them all up to a hub which should assign them IP addressed using DHCP. Last time I did this we had 4 x boxes connected ups with 12 players (One screen was too small to play with 4 players on it) I know that Halo only lets you play with 16 players locally, I was wondering if that was due to a 4 XBox Limitation.


title: Why can't I appoint a broker?

text: I am new to DF and I have only played a few games. In my latest game, I am trying to trade with a caravan for a new anvil. However, there is a problem. I can't appoint a Broker. In my other games, I started out with a Leader and a Chief Doctor. The Broker skill was always available for when I chose to appoint one. When I go to the [n]oble screen, I just see the expedition leader. There are no other positions on the list; not even the Chief Doctor. Any idea why this is?

title: How do I change my parents' email?

text: I was signing up for a Battle.net account and since I was underage they asked for my parents' email. I entered my father's email. The problem is he was making a Battle.net account the very next day the email does not seem to work. He assumes it was because his email is linked to my account. Is there a way to change the parent email linked to my account? I don't want to terminate the account because I'm using a guest pass for Diablo and I have activated everything.

title: Battlefield 3 Kill / Death Ratio Determination ? (K/D)

text: This may seem like a dumb question, but I am curious how DICE actually determines K/D. Is your overall K/D determined by a absolute TOTAL of the player's kills / deaths? Or is it based off of pulling an average from ALL of your rounds played and your K/D within it? Hear me out: [maybe I am not as good in math as I think] If I have a overall K/D of 10/5 (10 total kills and 5 total deaths in my current tour) and I then go 2/2 my next round, I go technically 1:1 or 1 K/D. That would then put me at 12 / 7 overall, being `2 (original K/D) + 1 (K/D after my second round) = 3 / 2 (total rounds played) = 1.5` average K/D overall (if they take averages of every round). Otherwise, it would be just 12 / 7 = 1.714 complete overall K/D. Maybe I am getting mixed up in my (possibly flawed) logic. Input? Ideas? Any DICE employees out there?


title: Does buying with skulls compete with story unlocks?

text: I was under the impression that skull-unlock traps and the like were independent of the unlocked abilities gained from progressing in the story. However, a friend claims that he bought the dwarven defenders with skulls before he later unlocked them through story. Can anyone confirm or deny this, as I would like to make sure I plan out my purchases accordingly if this is the case. Again, I was under the impression that the items marked with what appears to be a shield were only unlock-able via story and the skulls were there to be bought. Any and all opinions or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance!

Unfortunately, after a 12 hour playing session, it appears to have deleted my save game rather than syncing it. Is there any way to recover my progress?

title: What is a good technique to light up vast areas quickly?

text: I have a Bukkit server, and in part of that server I loaded on the Star Ship Enterprise. One of the things I still get annoyed by is mobs spawning where they shouldn't. I think the best low-complexity and future-proof solution is to use lighting to prevent spawning where I don't want it. So, when I find a large dark room, how should I light it? Running all over the room and adding torches is slow. Since I run a Bukkit server, it is very easy for me to install plugins. I already installed WorldEdit. I am very much OK with installing additional plugins to add the lighting, because the lighting can continue to do its job long after the plugin is removed. Can you provide me with some helpful information to accomplish the task of lighting up large empty rooms? And can you suggest how I would light up with non-level surfaces? (like the sloped roof of the Enterprise, and of the interior rooms) I don't mind using extra torches, but don't want it to be too crowded for aesthetic reasons.


title: What do the different colours of sound mean?

text: In Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure, you can collect various sounds as you wander around. They get used for little quests, and for making the Master Instrument. I have noticed that there are 4 colours of sounds - red, yellow, blue, and green. Does the colour have any significance?

text: In Act 2, in the North East corner, I keep finding the corpse of Iron Wolf Bowden. I'm not certain, but I think he may have been there every single time, and I know that when I do find him, he's always in the same spot. Is there something special about this corpse? Who is (or rather, was) Bowden? Are there any quests or special events linked to him?


title: Rare/Promotional Skins

title: What's the quickest and most reliable way to untarget your current target in GW2?

text: Something that's been bothering me with the Guild Wars 2 controls is that there seems to be no way to deselect a target if you have a target selected. From looking at the list of control bindings there doesn't appear to be any way to do that. In Guild Wars 1 there's a target self that's bind to the `f` key by default that can serve this purpose. However, GW2 does not seem to have a target self in the list of key binds either. Is there even a way to do this that doesn't involve killing the target? For those wondering why I want to have to no target selected during combat, many of the skills work slightly differently if a target is selected. In particular, many of the skills will go in the general direction you 'point' at if no target is selected. However, if a target **_is_** selected then the skills will go towards that target instead. **Edit** : To recap, this question is about how to quickly, efficiently, accurately and reliably deselect your current target even in the thick of battle. While I appreciate the answers given by others, they all fail to meet this requirement in some way. For example, `esc` is too overloaded to be reliable. That key services duty as menu popup, closes open ingame dialog boxes, stops your character from auto- running and probably others I forgot about. The 'target nearest ally' doesn't work if there's no ally nearby. Even if there are, they have to be within a certain radius and your camera has to be facing them. Clicking on screen is unreliable. Think about doing this in a massive WvW battle where everything is a graphical clusterfuck. If you should need to retreat then a reliable way to deselect a target is a must.

title: Solution to gameplay freezing in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on PS3 Slim?

text: I've recently picked up Uncharted: Drake's Fortune from the Amazon "bargain bin" and have been playing through it. Quite a fun game, actually, but I've only managed to get to Chapter 10 ("The Customs House"). The chapter's opening cutscene finished and I started to run towards the stairs inside the customs house when the game locked up completely. No PS menu key response, no Start response, etc. The PS3 required a full restart. So I ejected the disc, buffed it for fingerprints (negative), examined it for scratches (negative) and loaded up again thinking that the glitch was perhaps temporary. No such luck. This time, the game loaded me in post-cutscene and I managed to get a few steps up the stairs before it froze again. Same effect, same remedy. I tried a third time, got to the room at the top of the stairs, and _POOF_ , another freeze. Help?


title: Does playing on a server in a different region give players in the same region an edge over those who are not?

title: How do different difficulties work on story missions?

text: When selecting a story mission, I can choose between "Easy" and "Hard". Next to the difficulty, the game displays some kind of level. However, when you start the mission, you still end up in the common map area with other players. What exactly changes when you select a higher difficulty? Is it possible to see other players playing on "Easy" when you select "Hard" before entering the mission zone where respawning is restricted?


title: How can I fix Skyrim's bad shadows?

text: The standard blocky, scrolling shadows are unattractive and distracting. Several resources advocate INI changes, but with little or no explanation for what they do, and I haven't seen any change anyway.

title: How dangerous are windows?

text: I'm relatively new to Minecraft. I've built a few shelters on a few worlds, usually with a high level of success. However, I've recently been trying to spruce up these shelters and make them nicer-looking. Part of that is adding windows--both for the nice look and to make it easier to determine the time of day. So far, I've only added windows in rooms away from my bed, since I am not sure about the safety of glass. I know that unless they are in pursuit mode, non-spider mobs cannot see a player through glass. Spiders are not a problem, because they just congregate and make noise on the roof. The Glass Page on the wiki says that "Spider Jockeys can shoot their arrows through glass and cause damage. _[citation needed]_ " So, two main questions:   1. Can Spider Jockeys shoot through glass or not? Is this intentional or a bug? Is it something I need to worry about, since they spawn so rarely anyways? (I've only ever seen one)   2. Are there any other perils I need to worry about with regards to using glass as windows or skylights?

title: Is it possible to play the original and HoF campaigns within Tribes of the East?

text: I would like to play the official campaigns from both _HoMM V_ and _HoMM V: Hammers of Fate_ in the _Tribes of the East_ expansion/standalone. The only advice I was able to find about accessing earlier campaigns was to run the corresponding version of the game (original for the first campaign, _HoF_ for the second one). However, I'm curious what the gameplay would be like with _TotE_ patches and additions. So, is there a way to find out? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

title: Are there any risks to leaving my xbox one on all the time?

text: I'm running my DVR (TiVo) through the Xbox one, as is recommended. But my wife doesn't want the extra steps of turning on the xbox and selecting "watch TV" every time she wants to watch something. By leaving the xbox on all the time, it becomes transparent, so the DVR is full screen when she turns it on. The xbox shell is (ironically) most hidden if it's always on. Is there any risk or reason to bother with turning it off when not in use (other than electricity use - I'm already considering and weighing that cost in dollars and environmental impact.)

I don't believe any escaped. However I got no treasure. I've also noticed gold spiders, but I was unable to vacuum any of them up. They appeared in the library of the first mansion along with some gold mice. Are gold mice just normal enemies now or is there something special to them still?


title: Which effects do not persist to a new game?

text: In the original Diablo, after defeating Diablo (or whenever you feel like it) you can start a new game with the same character retaining your character stats and items. Except that some things do not persist to the new game. The ones I know about are:   * Effects from the Gloomy shrine   * Effects from the Weird shrine   * The unique Lightforge mace (according to Jarulf's Guide, this morphs into a different item when you start a New Game) Are there others? Note 1: Not sure if there would be differences between single-player and multi-player, but I'm playing single-player. Note 2: Obviously, available quests, quest status, monsters, dungeon-layout, and whatnot all do not persist to a new game. I am asking specifically about items, item stats, and character stats/spells.

text: I'm trying to compute somewhat advanced stats for my own match history (or, potentially any player's history), that would be include more than the regular information one can find on Dotabuff. I already can pull "easily" my summary Dotabuff history via Excel, but it only contains the basic information (Outcome, Hero, Mode, Duration and K/D/A). I can manually add the other information I need (GPM, XPM, if I was in a party, whom I was playing with, my build order, etc.) by going into individual match pages from Dotabuff or through the game client itself, but I'm looking for something faster or more efficient. Does something like that already exist ?

title: How to exclude Gem bonuses from AH searches?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Is there a way to tell the AH not to take Gems into account when searching? If I search for a chest armor with a socket having 100 dexterity, I often get armors with 50 base dexterity having emeralds. This is not was I am looking for. I want to get an armor with 100+ base armor that I can equip with my emeralds, so I can push it to 150 or more. Is it possible to exclude gem effects from the results for my query? Because both alternatives are not really good:   * I can search for the end result (e.g. 150 dex), but I will also get really expensive Armor that has 150 base dex without gems.   * I can search for the real value I want (e.g. 100 dex), but I will get really crappy armor that has these stats only because of gems. Sure I can narrow my search by the price, but sometimes the gems are really weak and I would need to remove them. This makes the item way more expensive and thus not comparable.

The weapons themselves I believe only drop in the promo packs for winning weekend challenges (correct me if I'm wrong). But once you have any of those weapons, do the upgrades drop in regular packs, or do they also only drop in promo packs?


title: Is there a difference between SimCity 4 Deluxe and SC4 with Rush Hour?

text: The online consensus seems to be No, but I'm not so sure. While the manual for my boxed copy of Rush Hour is just a Deluxe manual with a different cover, page 10 of said manual shows a well-developed region named "Puget Sound," which does look like the Seattle area. But there is no such region in my installation of Rush Hour on top of plain SC4. Maybe Deluxe comes with this and other regions not in Rush Hour.


title: How do I transfer my secrets between the original Legend of Zelda: Oracles of Ages and Seasons and the 3DS versions?

text: It's been a while since I played the original editions of _The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages_ and _Oracle of Seasons_. I'm starting up cold on the 3DS and I want to know how to transfer all my secrets from the old games to the new ones. I haven't been having any luck transferring my main secrets password from one game to the other.


title: Is it possible to use a Wii Extension controller on a PC without a Wiimote?

text: Just today I bought this Wii extension controller with the intent of using it on my PC, since the box says that a USB port is used for the wireless emitter. ![http://www.worten.pt/04403021_52575.jpg.image?size=240x200&TV=0&sku=04403021](http://i.stack.imgur.com/qDn9I.jpg) Unfortunately that wasn't the case; the wireless emitter only has one port that apparently only connects to a Wiimote (which I don't own). Is there a way of connecting this controller to a computer? Maybe a adapter between the extension port and a USB one? I've tried to see if it uses Bluetooth, I don't think it does.


title: Launcher stuck in "offline mode"?

text: I'm trying to log into EVE Online but whenever I start the launcher it is stating that I'm currently offline and that no connection could be made to the server; ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rbvKj.png) I can see from looking at EVE Mon that Tranquillity is online and I'm obviously connected to the internet. What can I do to resolve this problem? How can I play EVE Online when I can't get past the launcher?


title: Alpha Protocol: Purpose of the computer in the first server node room?

text: I'm in Taipei right now, doing the "Access Network" goal in the "Trace Warehouse Data Trail" mission. I'm pretty sure I'm on Hard difficulty. I'm in the first room where you encounter servers to bug - there's three of them, along with guards and cameras. If you walk into the northwest alcove of this room (where you find the dossier on Sis), there's a computer which I can hack if I want to, but which has no context message and appears to do nothing after being hacked. What's it for?


title: Dedicating two identical mini-pets in different characters, under the same account

text: Will my HoM allow me to dedicate two of the same mini-pet to different characters under the same account and be accredited for each as a different point?


title: Is there any way to play Hammerfight with a gamepad?

text: Hammerfight, while being a great game, is also excellent at annihilating your wrist, as controlling the game is done by performing circular motions with the mouse almost constantly. When I first got the game, I looked for a way to translate gamepad input to mouse input so that I could play the game without inflicting physical harm on myself. The results I came up with were far from satisfactory, however (I found some way to turn my PS3's controller input into mouse input, but it was very sluggish and simply wouldn't do at all). This site didn't exist back then, so I ask you, has anyone managed to set up a gamepad to work with this game in a way that doesn't feel like you are sacrificing control for convenience?


title: In Rainbow Six Vegas 2, in Story Mode, how far into the game is the "Ambush" section?

text: I haven't played the story mode, and I was just wondering how far into the Story Mode the "Ambush" section is. For example, "there are 10 other sections before", etc.

text: I want to make an all out Mage character in Skyrim... No weapons or armor (except for Mage attire). What class would be best for this way of playing?


title: Minecraft doesn't work on Windows 8

text: When I try to run Minecraft on my Windows 8 computer, it comes up with a error that says: The registry refers to a nonexistent Java Runtime Environment installation or the runtime is corrupted. The system cannot find the file specified.


title: Will repackaging a ship remove all of its upgrades?

text: I have a ship, capable of transporting 2-3 other ships in its cargo hold. If I wanted to transport some of my other ships to another station, I could repackage these ships, put them into the cargo hold of the bigger ship, and then set out to the new station. The ships I would be repackaging all have a variety of weapons and rigs on them. If I repackage these ships, what will happen to all of these items? Obviously I could remove the weapons and other stuff to test, but rigs can't be removed without destroying them so I am a bit reluctant to test it.


title: How can I find asteroids to mine?

text: I've been doing a fair bit of mining but one thing about the process is confusing me a little. When I enter a system and warp over to an Asteroid Belt, many times there is simply nothing present at that location. Now, I know that mining an asteroid will eventually result in it disappearing once it has no more ore left to give, so obviously in these cases the entire belt has been mined and there's nothing left. My question is, how can I find out which asteroid belts in a system has ore left to mine without visiting every single belt in the system? Is this even possible?


title: Does Rylai's Crystal Scepter trigger on Teemo's Toxic Shot?

text: In _League of Legends_ if I had a Rylai's Crystal Scepter (which has slow on spell hits as its passive) and I autoattack as Teemo, who has a magic DoT poison on hit, would it apply the passive slow from Rylai's Crystal Scepter?


title: Skyrim Dragonborn DLC possible leveling bug

text: > Some of the following might contain spoilers regarding the main questline in > the Dragonborn expansion. In the Dragonborn expansion, there is an instance where one enters Hermaeus Mora's realm after reading the Black Book obtained in the dwermer ruins in Solstheim, and is commanded to read throughout his chapters. While doing this quest, I was level 61. When I finished all chapters, I met Hermaeus Mora and had a little chat, and it ended with me choosing one of the three Dragonborn flames. I choose that which enhances my Fus Ro Dah shout, and was then sent back to the ruins. After a chat with the conjurer, I noted I had level up, but all the way to level 81! Thus, I got 20 perks. Is this a bug? Is this Mora's gift? On a side note, is it possible to obtain more perk points to spend?

title: Is it possible to remove animals from a Minecraft map?

text: I recently opened a map which I thought was broken, because I could not load it anymore. I increased the memory for the Java VM to 8GB and now I can open it but it is impossible to play on this map, because there are thousands of cows! I think this is why the map could not be opened with 768 MB of memory for Java. So my question is, if there is any tool with which I can remove those cows. I've heard of several tools to manipulate the landscape, your spawn point, etc. But I don't know if there are tools that let you remove and place animals without having the map opened. When I open the world I have like one frame every 5 seconds... Can you recommend a tool with which I can remove animals or other entities from a Minecraft world?
