Title: How do I defeat Beamos?
Question: I'm wandering around, lost, in Lanayru Mining Facility.  As I was blundering about, I took a (horizontal) swipe at a Beamos and surprisingly, did some damage.  I've also noticed that a targeting arrow appears when I get close.   Can I kill these guys?   If so, how?

Answers:
sents: text: The video game rule of vulnerability comes into play here: Hit 'em in the glowy bits .
text: You can never go wrong hitting anything that glows.
text: In this case that means slashing horizontally to cut the blue lines between the "blocks" that make up the body then stabbing the glowing eye.
text: Or just arrow the eye if you have the bow.
text: The same rule of thumb applies to Armos and Bombos as well.

You can put an arrow in its eye or break enough segments to bring it down to eye level. Slicing its sections vertically will bring its head to the ground.
It seems that there are two common ways to deal with Beamos. There is a one shot strategy and a more time consuming one.

Title: How do I fix my bathroom mirror
Question: I'm going crazy! This mirror has been broken for ages, I've e-mailed the landlord about it multiple times, but they keep telling me off.  However, when I took a quick sneak peak at their reception computer, they have an e-mail sitting in their inbox from the mirror supplier asking them to come pick it up since it's been waiting for over a month.

Title: Will it ever rain on the island?
Question: In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, will it ever rain on the Island?  I want to catch a snail on one of the hibiscus bushes.

Answers:
sents: text: Yes, it can rain on the island, and when it does, you can find snails: EDIT: If you're looking for rain on the island, you might want to check it in the morning.

Question: It's big and empty and I can't get up to the top, what should I do? I can't jump high enough, anti-gravity doesn't seem to do anything either.
