title: How can I avoid losing point when kiting?

text: I found that when I try to kite an enemy at the edge of scram or disruptor range they are regularly able to get away. I've tried to leave a bit more safety margin and orbit closer, but that doesn't help all that much. How can I avoid losing point in such a situation? Do I have to manually pilot to avoid enemies escaping, and if so how exactly do I do that? And how much safety margin to the edge of scram/disruptor range should I leave when orbiting or keeping at range?


title: How do I get Tali's companion quest?

text: I have the personal assignments from Garrus and Wrex, which activated through extended conversations with them. However, I've explored the whole conversation tree with Tali, and I still have not received her quest. What do I need to do to acquire Tali's personal quest? Is there a certain sidequest I need to do? I've skipped over many of them because I'm only on my first playthrough and I'm saving most of them for my completionist run to get to level 60.


title: Why can't I get credit for some of the Kerrigan achievements in the HotS campaign?

text: I've gotten most of the different achievements from the Kerrigan sub-group of the Heart of the Swarm campaign achievements, the ones for using the various abilities Kerrigan gets. But some of the ones I haven't gotten are for some of the first achievements you get. At first I couldn't figure out why, then I looked at the achievements, recorded their progress, used the associated abilities a _lot_ in a mission, then checked them again. No change. So I tried swapping to some other abilities for a mission or two then swapping back. Nothing. I finished the campaign and tried using them in the Master Archives. No progress. I gave up and restarted the campaign from the beginning. _Still_ no progress. Is there anything else I can try? Has Blizzard said anything about this issue? Edit: Oops, forgot to mention the specific achievements. The ones that won't update for me are **Smoking Corpses** , **Get a Grip** , and **So Many Banelings!**


title: What is the significance of player wage in player career mode?

text: When playing in career player mode, there is a wage figure that is shown. Does it matter how much you get? Does it affect gameplay in any way (other than maybe higher targets from the manager)? Also, I see different wage values through My Actions and My Career interfaces, even though the player value is the same. Why is that happening?


title: I've dropped items for friends. Why are they not appearing on the map?

title: Is there any move that cures the enemy pokemon's status problems?

text: I am currently engaged in a desperate struggle to capture the roaming legendary beasts. I have my sights set on Entei at the moment, having brought it down to 1 HP and paralyzed it. Sadly, it is still infuriatingly difficult to catch. This was all done before I realized that applying the "sleep" condition is preferable than applying the "paralysis" condition for the purpose of capturing pokemon. Seeing how you cannot afflict a pokemon with two status ailments, I would like to cure the Entei's paralysis so that I could make it sleep instead. Is there any move that will allow me to do this?

text: I would like to find a _very simple_ addon to help my wife remember to cast her buffs.

I myself currently use ZOMGBuffs, but I want to look into other options before recommending one to her.

title: Is it possible to connect an initially not-online profile to the Internet in Rock Band 3 for Wii?

text: When I first set up my band in RB3, I didn't have an Internet connection, so I pressed "Not online". However, I've now managed to get online but can't seem to find any way to change the setting. Is this possible? I don't really want to have to create a new band and re- unlock everything I've done so far...


title: Minecraft worlds regularly getting lost!

text: I am playing Minecraft on Ubuntu, running it with the following command (in a bash file)               padsp java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar /home/lagerdalek/Games/Minecraft/Minecraft.jar      Over the last 4 weeks I have lost 5 worlds. This is not the problem where a world is no longer visible from the menu, and I need to rename level.dat; rather, it is visible as a save game, but when I open it, it is a new, freshly generated world! Once it was the chunk I had saved with all other chunks deleted, but otherwise it is new. Minecraft had not crashed, rather I had saved the game and exited by closing the window. This is getting very annoying. If anyone else is suffering from this problem, have you found a work around? Should I back up saves after I finish a game or is it too late by then?


title: How do trading card booster packs drop?

text: So today I woke up and noticed new item in inventory which was a booster pack containing 3 cards from L4D 2. From what I see on market these booster packs are new (graph only shows up to 19 of June). No matter the game it seems to always contain 3 cards. There are two actions I can do with it: unpack or sell. There is fancy animation when you unpack the booster ;) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/S0Tif.png) I'm not exactly sure why I got it, I have few guesses:   * I got new badge, power player - this could give me a booster?   * Because of new badge I reached level 10 - maybe every couple levels there are gifts?   * It just dropped randomly for everyone? Maybe together we could rule out above guesses. It's also interesting from the point of market, to estimate how many boosters are there. With some games they seem to be more valuable than 3 cards separately, but that maybe only initial confusion.

title: How do you become eligible for Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2 booster packs?

text: I know that booster packs are given out to users who have got all possible card drops from a certain game, as stated in the Steam Trading Card FAQ. However, with Free-to-Play games such as Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2 you have to spend money on in-game items to get cards as there are no free card drops. As a player who haven't paid enough to get a card from either game, I have no possible card drops. However, I'm not eligible for a booster pack either. What is required to get booster packs from F2P games? There does exist both TF2 and Dota 2 booster packs, as they are being sold at the Steam Market. ![Team Fortress 2 drop status](http://i.stack.imgur.com/EwW2W.png)

title: How can I get all equipment in Bust The Wall?

text: I've checked the GameFAQs walkthrough and the Half Minute Hero wiki article on this quest. I've bought the shield in the middle of the map. I've cleared out all the caves. I've checked all towns. Yet, the game tells me I have equpiment incomplete for this quest. What am I missing? ![Equipment: Incomplete](http://i.imgur.com/SFLZbgM.png) One thing that comes to mind might be that I could get a different end-of- quest award if I somehow avoided getting the Bomber title and destroyed the rock protecting this boss the hard way. However, 25 seconds of smashing at it at maximum level while dashing wasn't enough to crack it. Perhaps I need special equipment to get this done? > ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MYEhGm.jpg)![enter > image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/UxqK0m.jpg) > > Not pictured: a way to take down that rock by hand, despite doing everything > I can to maximize my attack statistic.

title: How do I play late game Irelia?

text: How can I be an affective player with Irelia in late-game and teamfights? When chasing down enemies or 1v1'ing I feel like she excels throughout the whole game. During teamfights, however I target the squishy champs, and I usually kill one before I die. Sometimes if I don't get a kill or without me there after I die, my team loses the teamfights, which often costs us a few towers or even the game. I feel like with Irelia I'm doing really well and helping me team win, but as soon as we hit teamfighting phase I just hit a wall, and I'm either trading 1:1 or dying more than I kill. I feel that I should be playing this way since Irelia is an assassin, sorta, but I feel like I'm not benefiting from it late game. So how can I play her better during late-game and teamfighting? All help and tips is appreciated!


title: Vampire and Werewolf at the same time, cannot remove

text: I'm an argonian and and a werewolf so I should have 150% resistance to disease, but somehow, suddenly, my screen keeps turning red every five seconds telling me that my vampiric powers recede as I feed. I check my effects menu and I maintain the traits or a level 1 vampire. I may have gotten caught in Serana's vampire spell, but now I'm a vampire and cannot seem to get rid of it. I looked up console command and used it, but to no effect. I still possess the beast form power. I've attempted to activate beast form, but that did nothing, my character's eyes have not changed color, and nobody says anything about it. I tried talking to inn keepers and the dawnguard, but nothing is activating the quest for a cure, nor does talking to Falion. I really do not want to be a vampire.

If you were to not press `B`, what would happen? Would it open automatically, or perhaps something else?


title: How can I play the harp well?

text: I'm trying to be a good citizen and pay back my debt to the owner of the Lofty Pumpkin, but it seems impossible to play the harp correctly for his daughter. I try to just follow what the people do, but they're never satisfied. He says to just follow rhythm and make broad strokes, but I am pretty well. It might just be the quicker portions that are messing me up, how many of those are there, and how many times do I need to go back and forth. Does it matter what you do in the freestyle part in the middle? Do I need to play slower, or can I make fast strums separated to the beat? Or does this just have a really small margin of error?

title: What is the outcome of accepting the Virtual Families 2 "Talent Scout's" offer?

text: My 3 year old boy Jerry was playing in the lawn when a notification popped up saying that a talent scout was offering him a life of fame and stardom in Europe. I obviously said yes, because of the extra money and the fact that I had another kid to play with. My first kid was 10 when Jerry left, so now Jerry should be about 8-9 years old. My question is this: **How old will he be when he comes back home? Or will he come back at all?** Jerry is still present in my family tree, so I'm not sure whether he'll come back at one point or not. Thanks.

title: Do you keep campaign achievements earned during an unfinished mission in StarCraft 2?

text: Thus far every time I have earned a campaign achievement in StarCraft 2 I have also finished its associated campaign mission. This is fine when playing a mission for the first time but on subsequent replays I'd rather just earn the achievement and then quit the mission. Which leads me to my question: if you don't finish or abort a mission do earned achievements stick?

I'm very early in my game, so I don't have an iron pick yet, but don't want to forget where the emerald is. I thought the wiki would have this information, but it doesn't appear to. What kind of pick does it take to mine Emeralds?

title: How to run Telltale games with PS3 controller?

text: Using MotioninJoy, I have been using a PS3 controller on Steam with games like _Rayman Legends_ , _Don't Starve_ , _Rogue Legacy_ and a few others. Even Steam Big Picture Mode recognizes the controller and works fine with it. It works fine for those games wired and wireless. But when it comes to _The Walking Dead_ or _The Wolf Among us_ it just doesnt work. Those games do not even offer any options under the "CONTROLS" option. This is wierd because on steam it says "Full controller support" for TWAU and "Partial controller support" for TWD. Does this only work with wired 360-Controllers or is there some work around to make this work?

text: D3's lore books are broken into People, Quest, Bestiary, and World lore book categories, though they are discovered in areas/zones, not by those categories. I'm missing **"Missive to Maghda, Part 1" and "Hunter's Journal, Part 2"** (I thoroughly checked all five Hunter places), but a full list of all lore books, locations, and spawn conditions in quest order would certainly be more useful than only asking for the ones I need. Where are the Act 2 lore books, and when do they appear? ![Bestiary](http://i.stack.imgur.com/5nti5.png) ![People](http://i.stack.imgur.com/1ezFH.png) ![World](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Fbunc.png) ![Quest](http://i.stack.imgur.com/SQgas.png)

title: Adapting game resolution to screen

text: I have a 1280x1024 screen and some games do not support this resolution. For example, DeusEx support only 1280×960. When it stretches to my screen, fonts gets very hard to read and I don't get the best image quality. Is there any way to get the black borders instead of stretching like on TVs? In the case of DeusEx that would get me 32 pixel high black lines above and bellow the game window but pixels would match. That doesn't mean playing in window, to be clear, that's still full screen. The same goes for older games that are limited to 1024x768.

text: Is there a way to play Portal 2 co-op on a single PC or Mac? If so, do we need two keyboards, or two mice, or what? Do we need to buy two copies of the game? Note: The _wireless_ XBox 360 controller does not work standalone out of the box on either an iMac or Windows 7 PC. It needs a receiver as well. I thought it would be Bluetooth, but no.


title: How do you set up Portal 2 split-screen co-op on a PC?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Can we play Portal 2 co-op on one iMac? According to this article and this steam forum thread, it's possible to set up a split-screen co-op in Portal 2 on the PC. To clarify: This is having 2 people on one PC with the same steam instance of Portal 2 both controlling their own character in the co-op campaign mode of the game. It's not supported out of the box by the menu interface. However, many have apparently gotten this to work by having either an XBox 360 PC USB controller or a gamepad controller that is configured to emulate one. The original forum post seems to work for most people, but not in all circumstances. There seem to be a lot of other threads in the wild with many different solutions. I figured G.SE would be a good place to post all the possible solutions and maybe arrive at a definitive method or process to follow to get this to work.


title: Miscellaneous quests disappearing from quest log?

text: Just as the title says, I've had quite a few miscellaneous quests disappear from my quest log, and it's starting to bother me now as I fear they'll never come back. I can't say for sure how many (or _which_ ) have disappeared, but I know for sure that the quest where I have to take the unusual gem to an appraiser was one of the ones that seems to have disappeared very recently. There may be more, but this one stands out in particular. Is there any reason why this has happened? Clashing quests perhaps or have I lost it/them forever? :(. Thanks! xx

title: What do distance units mean?

text: In XCOM configuration files, distances are expressed in some obscure units, that do not translate to grid cells easily.

title: Why doesn't my son have admin permissions on the server I purchased him for Minecraft PE 0.8.1?

text: My son is only 5, he just started playing Minecraft a week ago. I don't know anything about the game at all. I purchased a server for him through potpotsie so he's able to play with his friends and other people. He's able to access his server but it does not recognize him as the owner of the server. the admin or whatever you guys call it. I've tried asking other people, I've emailed the place I purchased the server from (with no answer, of course,) watched probably 50 youtube tutorials and I've googled until my fingers have turned red. I just don't understand what I'm doing or not doing correctly that it isn't recognizing him as the server admin. Any suggestions?


title: How does Quetzalcoatl's legendary ability interact with Creeping Death?

Creeping Death is a new Witch Doctor passive that also affects Locust Swarm and Haunt: > Your Haunt, Locust Swarm and the damage amplification from Piranhas last > almost forever. The former is nice because the DoT damages enemies twice as fast. The latter is nice because the DoT lasts forever and you don't have to reapply over and over. If you have both, what is the end result? Does the DoT do damage twice as quickly _and_ last forever? Is one of the bonuses neglected in favor of the other?

In the server list, it says "Can't reach server" and when I try connecting to any server, the connection times out. I even asked my friend that has a server to look at the console of his server, and when I got kicked, it says connection lost, generic.reason. And when I try connecting to the server, my connection attempt doesn't even show up. Help!

title: Dude, Where's My Horse?

text: So, my faithful steeds have had a history of, well, _draconic_ incidents recently, and so, when leaving Solace, to head out in search of the Steed Stone recently, it occurred to me that procuring a new Equine conveyance would be wise. The fine stableman over at The Solitude Stables, near Katla's farm, a trustworthy seeming fellow named Geimund, informed me that his horse was amazing, and availiable for a mere 1000 Septims. I agreed to his price, and 1000 Septims poorer, was informed that it was 'the one with the Saddle'. However, the horse with a saddle in this stable does not seem to be interested in turning into a plane or tasting like raisins, or showing me the universe. Hell, this horse isn't even interested in being ridden by me - at least, not if I don't want to be branded an inveterate and unpardonable _Horse-Thief_ by every guard from Solituide to Markarth. Why don't I own the Horse with the Saddle now? Is there a different horse with a saddle that I paid for? Did it wander off? There are only two stalls at the stable, both are occupied by horses, only one has a saddle, and the ride option for both are in red. I just want a new pony. :(

title: How do you get the "Discriminating Buyer" achievement in CoD MW3

text: A friend and I are trying to get the "Discriminating Buyer" achievement that is available with the DLC pack that include the "Special Delivery" Spec Op. The achievement text says: > Use exactly one of each care package in the "Special Deliver" Special Ops > mission. We've run it a few times, and not gotten the achievement. I get that you need one of each package, but two things cause confusion:   1. A "Self Revive" package drops right when the mission starts. Does this package count, or do you need to call in another one?   2. The text says "use" one of each. In order to "use" the self revive, do you just need to call it in and pick it up, or do you actually need to get downed and get up?

In other words, will a successful hit with the market gardener result in a crit at this point?

What are the (dis)advantages of each? I'd seen some mention that human souls are more powerful than most non-human for enchanting, but can I fill the black star with bandit's souls or just with named NPCs? Also, if I don't have Azura repair it, will I be missing out on an Oghma Infinium-type quest (a la Oblivion)?

I am starting `The Black Star` Quest and I see that the reward is a `Broken Azura's Star`. **SPOILER ALERT** > Bringing it to Aranea Ienith makes it Azura's Star that can capture only > creature souls. Instead, bringing it to Nelacar makes it The Black Star that > can only capture black souls i.e human souls that are always Grand. (Are > there other type of black souls?) From my search I see that, black soul gems are not rare but I have played Skyrim for a few hours (reached Level 30) and still found just one! Where as Grand soul gems are easier to find but very hard to fill with 'grand souls'. At first glance The Black Star sounds much better as there are a lot of humans, like bandits, available to full it with. In comparison, to fill Azura's Star one doesnt need to go looking for humans to kill, also morally good, as there are all kinds of creatures available to slay specially during fights. Interestingly, if one goes for The Black Star then we dont get the option to have Aranea Ienith as a follower. Overall, it seems like that Azura's Star is better for recharging stuff and The Black Star for enchanting. My question is, which choice is better in the long run?

However, I've found it remarkably hard to find any source of clay. Without clay I can't build pottery bowls, and without bowls I can't make food, which makes everything really quite complicated. I've seen a few merchants in my travels who can sell pottery bowls, but at this stage I'm also completely broke. What's the best way to find clay? I'm in Freedom, around the Silent Hill area (heading north-east from there).

I know that you can pick up other ships for your fleet but do you ever get to drive the other ships from the cockpit?


title: How much extra experience do I get for killing monsters higher level than me?

text: When the game first explains to you that you get more experience for killing monsters that are higher level than you, it uses an example where you are level 1 and the monster is level 2. It indicates that you get two extra experience for killing the monster since it is higher level. What formula does this follow in general, though? Does the actual monster level matter when determining bonus experience, or just the difference in your relative levels? How much more do you get for every level beyond you that the monster is?

Also, summoning Durnehviir requires you to shout at (target) the ground unlike the other summoning dragon shouts, and like the Conjuration summoning spells. Based on this, I'm wondering if summoning Durnehviir will also level up Conjuration like I used a Conjuration spell (assuming there are enemies around and I am in combat).

title: Do you build things randomly or wait for Palpatine's missions?

text: I'm asking because I built an Imperial floor right after the "imperial items" told me I have to build a new floor to progress. About 4 missions later Palpatine asked me to build a new imperial floor. I couldn't do it though, because it said I needeed to progress in the game before building a new one. Therefore I had to skip that mission and spend 2 precious bux. So my question is: can I build a new floor whenever I feel like it or is it better to get it assigned as a mission and do it then? And I don't mean just imperial floors, but residential and commercial as well. Right now I have 11 floors so I'm just at the beginning and I don't know how the missions look later in the game... BTW it's a bit annoying that the old man does't recognise that I just accomplished his stupid mission 10 minutes ago.

However so far I've only found one in Santalune City (he wants a Bunnelby for a Farfetch'd named Quacklin' - the best name ever, IMHO). So where are all the other NPC traders?

I know it decides how many mushrooms you get in Time Trial mode, but does it do anything outside of that? I'm having trouble still figuring out what purpose it serves.


title: Villager breeding for an iron farm - docm77's design

text: I am playing on a 1.7.x server (not sure the specific revision at the moment) that is basically vanilla with a bunch of mods. I don't run the server; I just play there. I am working on an iron farm, following docm77's design (YouTube). I populated one of the villager chambers from two spawn eggs, and the remaining chambers were populated from the offspring of these two initial villagers. This single platform has been working just fine, so I went to "pimp it up" (his words, not mine) and build the 2nd pod, directly above the first. I created a water elevator to move my offspring villagers, and populated the 2nd level cells. The end result is that the villagers on the 2nd level are breeding, and I am getting golems, but the first pod has stopped producing anything. On the first level, each chamber has 2 villagers, but I am not seeing any hearts above their heads, and no indication of any golems (the only golems I see are dropping from the sky). Docm's video says that the 2nd level needs to be 70 blocks above the first - mine is 75. Would this be causing a problem? Would the elevator in place be causing a problem? Both pods are built the same, and I don't know enough about villager breeding and whatnot to understand what's the issue.


title: Does the name of the rift have any influence on its content?

text: I have noticed through a variety of playthroughs that many of the Nephalem rifts are named after important figures from the lore of Diablo, for example:   * Horazon's approach   * Bartuc's trail While it may be pretty incidental, the various instances I've been in Horazon's approach the levels have generally been of an "Arcane Sanctuary" design utilising the Pandemonium fortress level designs in darker colours - but is this coincidental or does the name of the rift have any influence on its content? Does the name of the rift affect the level generation (ie: certain rifts will definitely go to certain places/use certain designs for their levels) or the rift guardian that spawns?

text: While playing Black Flag I have noticed that a uplay notification occasionally appears, usually when I have finished a mission commenting 'You are the x most feared pirate'.

title: Can I get my stuff back from a follower after he has left my service?

text: I had a follower (Jzargo) and had him carry a bunch of my loot. But I forgot to get it back from him before I sent him home. Now he won't talk to me because I'm in the middle of a quest involving the college and so I can't ask him to join me again. Is there any way to get my stuff back from him without resorting to pickpocketing (which I tried, but even though it's my things he thinks I'm stealing from him). I am also not very good at it so I can't easily get away with it, and even if I did I wonder if they would now appear as stolen goods.

title: Are there any penalties in XP gain if characters are too far apart in level?

text: For example, if I have four Level 50's, and one Level 1 --- does the Level 1 guy gain the same amount of XP as the Level 50s? Or does the game somehow scale the XP so that the Level 1 guy isn't going to gain 10 levels in one battle with high level monsters? If there is some kind of scaling involved, what is the system? At what difference in levels does the game penalize the lower level characters in XP gain?


title: Can Mighty Eagle not achieve completion of a game board?

Or does the sheer force of the eagle hitting inside or outside the game-play area always cause all pigs to be destroyed? I noticed the ground bounces. Videos, which are my only source of information at this point, show how the Mighty Eagle destroys mostly everything on the first use but sometimes with a bit of structural integrity left behind, like some bits and pieces on the ground. I expect the answer to this question will be short. :)

I noticed it after knocking out a few criminals(side missions?). The first few were really easy to chase and knock out, however after some time, these criminals start running faster and faster(or is it my tired brain that thinks that they run faster because I act slower?) and sometimes it takes a few minutes of non-stop running to get them.

title: How can I copy/transfer games via external hard drive?

text: I have successfully transferred "Killing Floor" from my brother's laptop to my own via external hard drive. The problem, now that I have all the files, is that I don't know how to launch the game through Steam. All I did was copy files from his Laptop to the hard drive, then from the hard drive to my laptop, then I put the files in the "Steamapps" folder under "Steam" in my laptops hard drive. So the question is, how do I start up the game through Steam?

I am running the game from a Vertex 4 SSD and the laptop has a 3.7GHz i7, 32 GB of RAM, and a GTX 470... The game run just fine and the only time it slows down is when it loads. Is there some way, a setting or something, that I can change to make the game load faster.

title: What are the mechanics of using multiple shield modules?

text: I've been playing quite a bit of gratuitous space battle, and have quickly learned that the best way to keep your ships from turning into piles of burning debris is to equip them with shields. However, I am pretty sure that I do not understand the mechanics in play when using multiple shield modules. This is even more confusing considering that it is possible to mix shield modules of different qualities. The different types of shield modules differ in strength, resistance and recharge rate, allowing for quite a bit of mixing and matching, so what I hope to get is the set of rules that will allow me to figure out the following two cases at least:   * I use two shield modules, one with high strength and one with high resistance. Do I get the best of both worlds (the total of both modules' strength plus the higher resistance)?   * I install three shield modules. Will they deplete one at a time, or will they "take turns" soaking up damage, lasting longer overall?

title: Is it possible to stop the Madman from escaping his yacht?

text: In Desert Strike's third campaign map, one of the missions is to rescue hostages from the madman's yacht, pictured below. ![The Madman's Yacht, as the Apache Helicopter dodges incoming missiles launched by the soldiers on board](http://i.stack.imgur.com/uKgpy.png) The following excerpt from a strategy guide on CheatCC details the mission: > When you first get there, shoot soldiers on the deck and take out all > vehicles hanging about. Then shoot a hole in the yacht. You will see > hostages float out the south side, and when you go to pick them up, Mubaba > escapes in a speedboat from the north side. Now, I've owned this game for a long time, but I was never able to destroy the madman's speedboat, and neither was the writer of the guide, as he goes on to say: > I don't know if you can stop him; I never have. However I was playing the game the other day, and whilst I didn't stop the speedboat, I did notice in the mission debriefing " _Now the bad News_ " section that I lost 500 points for " _The madman escaped_ " Does this mean it IS possible to take him out there? Or is this one of those unavoidable no-win scenarios with a guaranteed point loss? Note that there is a 4th campaign map that wouldn't make sense if the madman died, but I'm assuming that either his second in command takes over or that ends the game prematurely.

title: Ships per colony

text: In the EU4 wiki, I read that to avoid certain penalties you should have one heavy or light ship per colony dedicated to that colony; the penalty being a function of the ratio of ships so allocated to the number of your colonies. However, what does that mean?   1. Do I need a ship in the coastal area of each colony?    2. As a variation of (1), if colonies are under the administration of a viceroy or such (named colonial area, eg "Spanish Brazil"), do I need (number of colonies in named area) ships anywhere in that area? (Eg, patrolling)    3. Do I check how many of my colonies contribute to a trade node, and assign at least this number to that trade node?    4. Or do I simply need to have n heavy or light ships in my navy if I have n colonies (independent of where the ships are)? Any insight appreciated. Edit: more precisely, this applies to overseas provinces, of which colonies are only a typical example; and this is in the chapter on tariffs.

title: Copy PS2 memory cards into PCSX2 emulator

text: Okay, I have the following:   * PS2 memory cards with saves from PS2   * PS2 memory card adapter for PS3   * PS3 which can read those files   * No PS2 or fat PS3 anymore, which is why I use...   * PCSX2 emulator which I want to be able to access those files Now, I would have thought this would make copying PS2 save files to my PC in a format PCSX2 can read would be a simple task, but apparently not. I haven't found PC drivers for the PS2 card adapter (amazingly, it's USB and it seems prime for hacking), so instead I copied over the PS2 saves from the PS3 onto a thumbstick as .PSV files. I found a utility called PSV Exporter which eats PSV Files and spits out...other files I don't really know what to do with. I also have MyMC and PS2 Save Builder which are supposed to operate on PS2 save files, but neither seems to know what to do with the files output by PSV exporter. So, given my equipment or a simply a PSV file, what software do I need to copy my "real" PS2 saves into some format PCSX2 can read?

title: Skyrim instantly crashes to desktop

text: Two weeks ago I borrowed an Oculus Rift for the weekend and installed some mods for it, following this guide. Now I'm trying to run it again without the Oculus, and it instantly crashes to desktop. ## Behavior I click on Skyrim in my Steam library, and then click `Play` from the launcher. A console window pops up for half a second, closes, and the game doesn't run. Sometimes I see a black screen flicker up and then close. ## What I've tried   * Running Skyrim from SKSE. In this case, I see the SKSE console window flicker up, then another console window, and the game doesn't start.   * Uninstalling all mods.   * Deleting my `Skyrim.ini` and `SkyrimPrefs.ini` files.   * Reinstalling Skyrim in Steam by clicking `Delete Local Content`, followed by `Install`.   * Running Skyrim in a Window.   * Praising Talos.   * Changing Audio settings to DVD quality.   * Restarting my computer. ## System specifications   * **OS:** Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit   * **Processor:** Intel Core i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40 GHz   * **Drive:** Samsung 840 SSD   * **Graphics Card:** : AMD Radeon HD 7900   * **Motherboard:** Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H ATX LGA1150   * **Monitor:** BenQ XL2420T ## Solution Per SevenSidedDie's recommendation, I deleted `d3d9.dll`, `hijackdll.dll`, and `libfreespace.dll` from my `Steamapps\common\Skyrim\` folder. It's alive! ## Generalized Solution Uninstalling and reinstalling via steam does not remove the `Skyrim` folder. If you manually added any DLLs during the modding process, you may have to remove them manually as well. Alternatively, if you don't know which DLLs to remove, uninstall the game, delete the `Skyrim` folder, and then reinstall. You will not lose your saved games, since they are stored in `Users\USER\Documents\my games\skyrim`, rather than in `steamapp`.

title: How does the VIP supply officer work?

text: As of a recent update, they seem to have revised the Imperial levels. Before, each level built one widget, but now they can built multiple types of widgets. If you delivered a Supply Officer to a level, they would begin construction of the widget. But now, you have to pay to start construction of an item - what if you deliver a Supply Officer to a level which has not started construction? Do you still have to pay to start it? I can't tell since I haven't received a Supply Officer for a while now. Sidenote: It seems like this new update has made everything more expensive. The returns on the missions are ridiculous - one mission requires 66 components and pays out less than 75K gold - starting the construction for them is going to cost me more gold than that already!

title: How does breaking zombies work?

text: As far as I can tell, a zombie has both a yellow health bar and a red health bar. The yellow health bar indicates the amount of stamina a zombie has left; once exhausted by taking damage it collapses. The red health bar indicates the amount of health the zombie has left; once depleted, the zombie "breaks", or dies permanently. Still, the way that depleting the red health bar works confuses me, and I want to make sure that I kill zombies as quickly as possible to keep my weapons in tip-top shape. Do I deal less health damage to a zombie while it still has stamina? Will aiming at the zombie's head inflict more health damage, even when it's knocked down? Do certain types of weapons inflict more health damage compared to stamina damage, regardless of their base damage (for example, if I have a firearm and a blunt weapon with the same attack value, will the firearm inflict more health damage)?

But while some stay wherever I left them, others just leave out of the screen (Khalid for example), is there a way to get them back later on, if I want to, or is the NPC gone forever ? It is kind of strange, since you can't event see the new guy's stats before making your decision.


title: How do I get past level 8-4 in The Last Rocket?

text: I have stared and stared and stared at level 8-4 of The Last Rocket and can't for the life of me figure out how to get to the exit. ![The Last Rocket, Level 8-4](http://i.stack.imgur.com/HZ4iV.png) I've flown from each corner of the left and right wall. I've tried walking and flying through what looks like an opening to the right of the bottom fan. I've tried turning around close to the enemy, to see if I can pull him from the wall. All to no avail. **What do I do to get past this level? How do I get to the exit?**


title: Land loop and land branch

text: What does "land loop" and "land branch" do in world generation options? I created some worlds using different settings, revealed the map through cheats, but couldn't understand the pattern each setting creates. What exactly do these options do? What are the benefits of each?


title: Why are Blasters always fitted with Caldari Navy Antimatter and not Void?

text: All of the loadouts I've seen without fail use Caldari Navy Antimatter instead of T2 Void charges. Am I missing something? They seem to do **considerably** more damage and you more or less have to be upclose to use either ammo.

title: How has combat changed from Borderlands to Borderlands 2?

text: I might rephrase it as, " _What are things that a BL1 player should know jumping into BL2?_ " Not all of these are probably worth answering in regards to the main question, but here are some examples:   * I seem to recall that aim assist is default on in Borderlands 1. I don't like to play with aim assist. Should I keep an eye out to turn this off because it's on by default in BL2 or no?    * In Borderlands 1, the most effective elements are fire for flesh, shock for shields, and acid for armour. I notice that there are a lot more robotic enemies. Does this mean an increase in the value of corrosive damage, assuming the elements work the same?    * It seems there's a fifth element: Slag. How does this work?    * Considering what I've seen of Zer0 recently, mêlée seems to be a viable play-style now.    * I notice that health and damage values reach the hundreds of thousands.    * Roland the Soldier was pretty much the support character, but it sounds like Maya the Siren is the new support.    * In Borderlands 1, Crawmerax was the main raid boss, with a few others only worth farming for one drop. Has this changed?    * What's the level cap? This and this Q&A say level 50, but I saw level 61, from a source that I trust as non-hacking.      * When did the change from 50 to 61 happen?     * Are there special conditions to getting that raised level cap, like in Borderlands 1?    * Is there an equivalent of the Underdome in Borderlands 2?    * In Borderlands 1, you'd want to judge weapons largely by their rarity, and only replace them if they're outlevelled by 6 or more or so. Is it still the same?    * In Borderlands 1, a gripe is that a weapon that spawns with or without a sight is stuck with it. Are weapons in Borderlands 2 more customizable? **What are the differences to combat from Borderlands to Borderlands 2?**


title: Deus Ex: Human Revolution - The Missing Link - Does it contain Spoilers?

text: The DLC "The Missing Link" takes place in between the storyline of the main game. In my playthrough from the main game I am **not** that far (atm I am the second time in Detroit after Montreal). What I want to know is, if I should play the DLC in between my main playthrough. Meaning, when Jensen gets knocked out and shipped to Singapore, I start playing the DLC and "pause" my main playthrough. Or should I rather finish the main game and _then_ play the DLC. The reason I am asking this, is because I want to know if the DLC contains any spoilers about the ending of the main game, which I am "not supposed to know" at that point in the main playthrough. **Note:** Please try to avoid any spoilers, since I didn't finish the game yet.


title: Any way to convert old Angband save files to the current version?

text: I recently started playing Angband again after running across my old 3.5" floppy disks with my old saved player files on them. I like the newer Windows version of Angband (3.4.1 I think) but I've found that it won't open my saved games from 2.7.9. It tells me the file is corrupt. Is there any way to get the old files to open in the newer versions? I haven't yet tried downloading all the interim versions to see if I can baby-step it up to the current version. It sure would be nice to have my 44th level Rogue to play again since I never did get him quite tough enough to win the game.


title: Can knives headshot opponents?

text: In _Counter-Strike: Global Offensive_ , you can shoot opponents in the head and cause a "headshot", resulting in extra damage being done to that player. There is also a knife, which you can use to melee-fight opponents. Can knives headshot opponents? If I hit an enemy in the head with a knife, will it do more damage? Similarly, if I hit an enemy in the legs with a knife, will it do less damage?
