How do I battle with my Gameboy Color Pokemon on Pokemon Stadium (2)?

My friend and I have been playing Pokemon Gold and Silver versions on our Gameboy colors, and we thought it would be fun to battle on the big screen using Pokemon Stadium 2. So we got a Transfer Pak and plugged one of our games in and were a bit disappointed by the minimalist layout of the transfer process. We managed to transfer some Pokemon to the storage box on Stadium, but when we went to do a Free Battle and set the rules to 'Everything Goes' we couldn't find our transferred Pokemon. They didn't show up in the Rental Menu, unsurprisingly, but the only other menus were Registered and another one that contained the party of the Gold Version that was still connected. Connecting two isn't an option because we only have one Transfer Pak. Do we need to put our Pokemon somewhere other than the storage box? Do we need to get a second Transfer Pak and connect both games at the same time and battle with our in-game parties?


What do the symbols next to the player names mean?

When playing Head To Head Online Seasons in FIFA 12, on the squad selection screen some of the players have one or more symbols next to their name. What do these symbols signify?


Is there an easier way to repair/upgrade/sell overlapping defenses?

Specifically playing as a monk, I tend to overlap my auras for the maximum benefit (e.g. snaring + lightning). However, when I want to upgrade an aura, if one overlaps the other in almost perfect fashion, or in some cases completely envelops the other, I find it nigh impossible to upgrade or repair the covered one without doing the "outer" one first. In the case of upgrading, this can get especially frustrating when I'm trying to upgrade the lightning and end up doing the snaring instead. My friend who's playing an apprentice tends to place his magic barriers inside of my auras for maximum benefit as well, and voices his frustration with upgrading / repairing / selling his defenses, since the game is indiscriminate on which ones you can affect (understandably so, as it _is_ a team game). Is there some trick I'm missing to doing upgrades/repairs/sales on overlapping defenses?


How do I get my game to recognize my save and launch?

I am having a similar, but more complex, issue with launching Trails in the Sky as detailed in this steam community thread. If I try to launch the game directly through the two options when you click play, or through the launch button in the configuration manager (the second of the two options), steam will change my status to playing the game for a second or two, and then back to in no game. I do not believe I ever saw the process start up in task manager. The problem other people seem to have is that their save file is not at the location %APPDATA%\FALCOM\ED6\config.ini I indeed do not have that file. In fact, I did not even have the folders ED6 or FALCOM. If I did what the thread suggests and just modify the settings, or paste the config someone else posted, nothing happens. Now the details that may help this situation: If I click the "Save Folder" button in the config manager, nothing happens. (Most likely the most important one) Both steam, and this game, are saved on my magnetic drive (D:), while windows, and thus appdata, is on my solid state (C:). I would really like to not have to reinstall the game to that drive as well, as it is a fairly small drive. I have not played this game before this problem arose, on this computer. I played for a couple hours on a different computer, before I got this one.


Why am I seeing Diddy Kong's face everywhere?

On various tracks, I see pictures of Diddy Kong - they are framed, and everything. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mfspz.png) Do they serve any purpose? Or are they just everywhere because, well, the game is named after him? It seems a little strange, and it looks like I should be able to interact with them somehow, but I haven't been able to figure it out.


Are Godville's English and Russian versions the same exact game?

Godville is what's known as a ZPG (Zero Player Game) - it's a MMORPG where you - the player - don't actually control the hero in typical RPG way - the hero levels up without player doing any work. The player just sits around and rewards/punishers the hero. There appear to be two **very similar** versions of Godville around - an English one (godvillegame.com) and a Russian one (godville.net). http://godvillegame.com/images/godville_screenshot_en.gif http://godville.net/images/godville_screenshot_ru.gif As can be seen from the above screenshots, the two versions seem to be very close, apparently using nearly identical web back-ends (and there are even Andorid clients that can play both). Please note that content-wise, they are somewhat different - Russian one is nearly 100% culture tropes and puns whereas English one seems to be more standard RPG content. **The question: what is the exact relationship (organizational and software wise) between both games?**   * is it really the same exact game ported by the same company to two different markets?   * or is one of them an authorized clone using the same exact software (or starting off from the same software - there seem to be some divergent features) as the original;   * or is one just an unauthorized clone of another?   * Some other option I didn't think of?

Is this Drop7 game 'recoverable'?

I have been a little addicted to Drop7 on iPhone recently. A few days ago I got to the following situation: ![Drop7 layout](http://i.stack.imgur.com/dUPPp.png) Is this situation salvageable? Each column is blocked by 1-discs or 2-discs, and the columns are above 2 rows high, so as I see it, those discs cannot be removed, nor can the grey discs below be removed.

What irrevertible glitches should I be aware of when playing Fable 3?

Angry Birds: score is always 3,977,990

I played all (available) levels of Angry Birds _Summer PigNic_ and always get 3,977,990 as a score, for all levels (score displayed top right side). Please see the screenshot below (today's level) ![Summer PiGnic 1-11](http://i.stack.imgur.com/D2naQ.png) The score takes about 3 mn (three minutes) to be displayed - counting from 1 to 3,977,990.

What's the maximum will a soldier can have per rank? How much willpower does an operative gain per rank?

I'm trying to make a squad of superhumans to fight the alien scum. To that end I would like to maximize my soldiers' will by reloading at the end of the mission until I'm satisfied with the result.

What about high rank soldiers that come as mission rewards?


How do I multiply Lava and water?

In a recent post on planting alchemy ingredients on TerrariaOnline there is a mention of multiplication of lava. The post states the following: > this blackened area is the "temporary" Lava multiplication wing. It can be > made longer if you want to, but it works the same: put the lava near the > one-block high wall, let it pour for a bit, and after pick it back. In > contrast with the water multiplication, you need to wait a bit, whereas > waiting when multiplicating water, will result in a slow water-generating > process. This seems to indicate that there is a way to duplicate lava and water somehow. The instructions above seem to require some familiarity with that feature already, or at least they are not entirely clear to me. Is there a way to duplicate lava and water in Terraria? If yes, how can it be performed?


How do I run GKART?

I've downloaded and installed GKART but now I can't figure out how to run the game. Two icons were added to my desktop, one is Garena Messenger and one is gkart, but running any of them only opens a login window which ends up in garena messenger. I know the game is installed since there is a folder with size around 1GB in my installation path named GKart, and that can't be only a messenger. Does any one know how can I start the game itself?


Are some upgrades required to complete the game?

In both of the Trine games now, I've found that I tend to favor the Wizard when solving puzzles. More than a few times I've come across a puzzle that I could only figure out through creative use of crates and planks. Also occasionally in the later levels, I've found areas of rock that I can break by throwing the Knight's hammer. However, conjuring more crates and planks or throwing the Knight's hammer requires that I sink upgrade points into the relevant trees. How many upgrades I have and where I use them are up to me. This means that it's possible to get to the end of the game and never upgrade the heroes at all, if I choose. Are there any upgrades in the game that are essential to finish the quest? If so, what are they and when would I need them by?

How to prevent the Blue Golem resetting?

Everyone who played jungler should know the situation:   Mid can't pull for whichever reason - for example on account of being Fizz - so someone else attacks once and runs away, you as jungler start punching the golem and then it resets while all your cooldowns are down and you end up taking twice the damage you should have taken. What can the one pulling or the jungler do to prevent that situation?   Does it happen because the Jungler attacks too late or is it the pulling person running away too fast/slow?

What is the lore/back story associated with various legendaries and set items

There are a ton of sets and legendary items in Diablo III. Several of them are inspired from other game/story universes or some event in them. I found out about a few through the battle.net forums or Game Guide comments, examples:   * _**Guardian's Regalia_** : reference to Magneto from X-Men   * _**Wondrous Deflectors_** : Wonder Woman reference   * _**The Burning Axe of Sankis_** : refers to a specific incident in a game of Dwarf Fortress What are the various references in such items? I am interested in a full list, with more details on the lesser known ones (e.g. Axe of Sankis)

I'm playing with some friends, and I am making a researching alt spy to identify my unidentified tech parts.

I'm also wondering how much researching I will need to reliably research these parts without failing?


Will the drop counter reset if I craft a badge?

Steam now has trading-cards which can be crafted into badges and other marketable items. That link states that trading-cards can be crafted into badges, and that > If you gather another complete set of trading cards you can upgrade that > game badge. However, it also says > Most games will drop a number of cards equal to about half of the number of > cards in that game's set of cards. **Does this mean the only way to get the second+ level of a badge is through trading? Or does my "drop counter" reset once I've crafted the badge for that game?**

Can I have more than one of the same trading card?

Steam now has trading cards. In order to get them, you're supposed to play specific games _(currently there areonly 6 games supported, but they've said more will come)_. However, it's only possible to find **half** of the total trading cards for each game - you have to trade for the other half. **Can I find the same trading card twice in the same game** _(and if so, will that count against my allowed card-pickups)_? **Is it possible to trade for a duplicate of a card you already own?**


Is there any way to "refine" blacksmithing components?

After deciding I don't need the money from selling all my loot any more, I've started salvaging all the things. Unfortunately, this has left me with a surplus of junk odds and ends I'm never going to use - after all, I would never stoop so low as to wield a staff crafted with novice bindings. Crafting it into vendor trash isn't really useful since I don't need money, but I _would_ like to have better equipment. Is there any way to do something like with shards, and somehow refine or reinforce or reforge or re-something my components into better-quality ones?

Will the AI go for an impossible victory?

When you set up a game, you can choose which victory types you want enabled. **Will the AI ever attempt to achieve a victory type that is disabled?** For instance, if the only victory type that is enabled is domination, will every AI player attempt to go the military route and crush all other players? My singleplayer gameplay experience suggest that all of the AI players aren't trying for all-out war.


Is there a way to display (enemy) champion basic information while in a match?

Because I am still relatively new to League of Legends I don't know all the champions names and their abilities only by their portrait. Because I mostly play normal matches where champions are picked _blindly_ I have no chance to click on the enemy portraits and gain that information before the game starts.   Is there any way to display this information (name, type, abilities) while being already **in** a match? Or do I have to look it up on some website, given that I can identify the champions name by its portrait?


How to permanently raise/lower Bravery/Faith stats in Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions?

I've recently started playing FFT: WotL on iOS, and learned from the wiki sites that the Bravery and Faith stats determine various important factors in combat (frequency of reaction commands, effectiveness of spells, etc) and how Ramza's "Steel" ability can raise someone else's Bravery, but the effect of that ability doesn't seem to last after combat. However, I have been keeping track of some of my characters' Bravery/Faith stats and they _do_ change from time to time, but so far I haven't really found rhyme or reason to it. Are there any guides that explain whether it's possible to permanently raise the Bravery stat, and if so, how?

Is there a point to the Goal Game?

In Kirby's Return to Dreamland, you get to play a "Goal Game" at the end of each level. For world 1 at least, this is a game where you jump into layers of clouds using a slingshot/trampoline type thing. I never manage to get very high. Is there a point to this minigame? Is there something at the top of the clouds that I am just not getting to?


How to get more puzzle swap panels?

I switched to a new SD card on my 3DS recently. Since then I've not been able to get puzzle swap pieces from anyone. I've tried updating my Mii plaza and it says I have the latest version. However when I street pass I my mii simply jumps into the puzzle swap world alone. On the puzzle swap screen it says I have 105/105 of the pieces whereas I can confirm that I've passed my friend who has a panel and pieces I don't own. I also have spotpass and street pass enabled for the app. this is quite confusing, does anyone know how I can continue getting more pieces?...

How to get the credit achievements?

I got the 100,000 credits achievement. Decided to save up to 1M to get both 500k and 1M. I woke up, opened the app, was past 500k but didn't get the achievement. Thinking maybe I should be connected to Game Center when I actually go past 500k, I purchased a level to go below 500k, and timed a big spender so I would get over 500k when the game was open and I was connected to Game Center. I still didn't get the achievement :( Anyone else with this problem?

How do I get the last Energy Sphere in Level 1-2

In World 1-2, after you defeat the boss that looks like a green knight, you can see the last Energy Sphere of the level sitting on a platform that also has a Waddle Dee on it. Normally, Kirby can cut the ropes of these platforms causing them to fall - however, in this case, there is a wall in the way. I tried to just suck the Sphere off of the platform - I succeeded in sucking up the Waddle Dee, but no Sphere. I also tried using the Copy Abilities available to me (Beam and the one where you shoot flames) with no luck. How do I get that last Sphere?


Can the PS Vita play multiplayer games with the PSP?

I'm familiar with the PS Vita's Cross-Play games, which can carry your Vita progress over to your PS3, or vice versa. This got me to wondering if it was possible to play any of the PS Vita Store's downloadable PSP titles with someone using a PSP, assuming the game itself has multiplayer. For example, if I tried to play _Dissidia Final Fantasy_ on my PS Vita against a friend who was playing it on the PSP, would I be able to do this?


Which character deaths trigger a game over?

I am playing on Casual mode, so I don't have permadeath enabled for my characters. If they die, I keep battling without them, but then I can use them in the next battle. However, I noticed that when Chrom died, I got a game over instead of getting to continue the battle. I assume if my character dies, I will also get a game over. Are there any other character deaths that will trigger a game over in battle?


How can I escape a room with no doors?

I've never been past level 4 and now I'm on level 13... then something teleported me and now here I am stuck. There is lava on one side and walls on the other 3. The wall to the left is only 1 block and then a big room (where I came from). I can't use earthquake because there are no squares next to me to target. I tried the holy hand grenade, with no luck, as well as a steam bolt bomb. I found some debug switch and tried it, but when I press "P" to go up a floor the game just crashes.


How can I effectively play a Sentinel in multiplayer?

I've never played a Sentinel at all in any of the games proper, so I have very little experience with their basic playstyle. As most of my experience has been with Vanguards and Adepts, I'm having trouble trying to figure what the Sentinel's strengths are and how best to play to them. I'm playing the Turian Sentinel, as I don't have a Krogan one unlocked yet. The Krogan seems like it'd be more melee-oriented, which would suit my playstyle more I think, but is currently not an option. So far, I've been playing mostly as a shield/armor remover, using Warp and Overload to burst through enemy defenses. However, Tech Armor _seems_ like it'd be handy, but the 60% hit to my cooldown reduction when using it feels like it really hurts my ability to pump out the debuffs. I mostly only use it during the more static waves, like hacking or disabling indoctrination devices. I'm unfortunately rather consistently coming in at or near the bottom of the scoreboard when playing with my Vanguard and Infiltrator friends (though having played one, I know Vanguards can be difficult to even come close to in score). I'm level 13 and just don't feel as effective as they are. Do I need to focus on using my weapons more? I do have difficulty with this, as I barely used weapons at all on my Vanguard. Am I supposed to focus on tanking? What can I do to improve my Sentinel game? Advice for both bronze and silver/gold play is welcome.


Is a Melee spec character viable in Silver/Gold difficulty?

I usually play Human Vanguard in multiplayer, and Bronze difficulty is a breeze. Silver I can win with some difficulty, but Gold seems especially difficult as a melee-spec character. I'm specced out for pure Melee damage and I usually carry a shotgun with + Melee damage so I can kill "weak" targets like Cannibals/Cerberus Troopers in one punch, but the top tier enemies like Banshees/Atlases are hard to survive, especially when there's more than one. Cerberus turrets are also a huge problem. What I'm currently _not_ doing much of is bringing weapons along (usually just a shotgun to keep weight low) or using Shockwave; the limited range doesn't seem to help much. **Is it possible to beat Gold reliably with a Melee spec character**? Human Vanguards or Krogans in general are to my liking. Should I just stay away from the big baddies like Atlases? On Bronze I take them out with a charge/Melee/Charge combo, but on Gold it gets me killed, and my Shotgun is mostly useful for Melee damage and hitting downed targets, it doesn't hurt the big targets worth a darn.


I really need a sapling from a single tree

So I'm playing on some server, called SkyBlock. It starts with one tree. the first one dropped one sapling, now that I've planted it and accomplished a whole lot of other stuff, I don't want to cut down the second without having at least one sapling come off of it. So what I'm asking is, can a tree with all the leaves cut off regrow it's leaves? Can I use bonemeal on a tree stump to make it grow back into a tree?

How can I create a Goatperson?

I've got the special edition of Desktop Dungeons, which includes the Goatperson DLC. As I understand it, among other things this includes a new playable Goatperson class.

Can I command an atronach?

As far as I can tell, an atronach waits until it sees an enemy and then decides on its own way to attack. Is there a way for me to control it in any way -- moving it to a different spot, having it attack a specific target, etc?


How can I set the starting conditions to give myself more of an advantage against the AI in Defcon?

I've just started playing Defcon, and I've been learning the game by playing against the AI. The AI is tough. I keep getting my behind handed to me. This is, shall we say, not optimal. There's nothing that allows you to set the difficulty of the AI players, but I'm wondering if there's a way to slightly cripple the AI somehow using the starting conditions - perhaps there is a particular territory that it doesn't play very well or that it has difficulty defending against. I already tried going two-on-one with an allied AI against a lone AI player, which didn't teach me anything because it was much too easy. I'm not looking for a curbstomp, I just want to keep the AI from curbstomping me long enough to learn to play. **Is there a way to set up the starting conditions of a Defcon game to give the AI a more difficult time, without completely crippling it?**

If my men are taken prisoner, can I get them back?

In _Mount & Blade_, I was recently attacked by a Lord whose army outnumbered mine 2:1. I tried my best to avoid the fight, as I knew I wouldn't stand a chance, but he was adamant about fighting with me. Needless to say, I lost. Badly. I managed to get captured, along with my 54 men. However, I was fortunate enough to escape from my captors. Unfortunately, it was only me and 2 of my heroes, leaving me with only 3 troops. **Is there any way for me to get them back?** Say, if I were to capture a Lord from the Kingdom in which my men are being held? ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/yV1Rb.jpg)

I can see changes of stats when applying engine, brakes, turbo, transmission, etc. But, there are some upgrades that are not really clear such as wings, hood, skirt or tire customization.

Both of these resources are generated by industrial buildings, what is the difference between them? How can I control what my industrial zones will focus on?


Getting Vilkas Sword back from Eorlund Gray-Mane

I did the quest Take up Arms where you get the Vilkas Sword. Now, I didn't use magic on him to defeat him. However, once I got the sword to Eorlund Gray- Mane, he asked me to go and give a shield to Aela, which I did. As soon as I left, he started sharpening the blade. Since then, I can't seem to find a way to get it back. Do you ever get it back? Is this a bug?

Removed XBLA games

What games are no longer available in XBLA? Why have they been removed, and are they still available in some regions?


Does timely first aid speed up a wounded soldier's recovery?

A soldier will have to spend some time recuperating if they receive a serious wound during a mission. That time seems to depend on their remaining hitpoints, as they essentially recover those over the next few days. Are "grey" HP, the ones that can be restored with a medikit, considered restored, lost, or something in between when the mission ends?


What happens to all your trading cards when you vote?

My steam level is 2. I don't really intend on buying things to level up. However, I do vote for the next flash sale item every time there is a sale. As a result, I have collected many trading cards that I supposedly get when I am level 5. Will said cards ever disappear? Is there a deadline for me to collect them?


Finding 'The Five Tenets' Dark Brotherhood book?

I'm trying to find interesting books to put in my bookshelves so they're not all... empty and stuff. I saw a reference to a book named The Five Tenets, a Dark Brotherhood book. I looked at the wiki for any locations of it, and it's only found in the two sanctuaries. I can't seem to find it in the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary though and I don't want to put everything on it being in the Dawnstar Sanctuary without knowing for sure that it will be there.


Complete Story unlocks this skill...but I own Complete Story

I own Trine 2: Complete Story, which I bought "as is" (no DLCs applied). Now, higher level skill still tell me a padlock and say: "Complete Story unlocks this skill". Steam tells me I own Complete Story, yet nowhere in the game it says that it actually is that. How should I proceed? Re-download the game?

What's the point of buying art?

Aside from satisfying my inner completionist, is there any point in buying art in Assassin's Creed IV? It's available for purchase from merchants pretty much right away, but it seems like a waste of money. Does buying it serve an in-game purpose or award achievements?


I lost my weapon... what do I do?

While playing Realm of the Mad God, I lost my weapon randomly and I can't get a new one. I tried looting bags I found but none of them were for wizard class.


How should I prepare for Hardmode?

So I have never actually even tried to go into Hardmode yet, for the simple reason that I've never truly felt fully prepared for the challenges that await me once I enter the Hardmode World...coupled with nostalgia for my old world, but setting that aside... What should a player have before they enter Hardmode? How much of the map should be explored before they enact this permanent map change? What essential resources should the player concern themselves with preserving before the transformation? In short, how should I prepare for Hardmore? **Important Note** - I do not need help preparing for the Wall of Flesh. I already know that I need a battle platform stretching the length of Hell and I have the gear to fight it, I am more worried about preparing the entire rest of my world.


How do I prevent my imbecile son from being an heir?

I have a daughter and two younger sons; they are all marrying geniuses. My oldest son is inheriting everything and he is an imbecile. My oldest son isn't a traitor so I have no legal rights to imprison or execute him; he's just very unwanted. How can I make my daughter or younger son an heir, instead of my oldest (imbecile) son?


Is there a way to change an existing map from Default to Large biomes?

I'm OK with there being 'unnatural' stuff at the borders of the 1.2.5 map and the 1.3.1 map, but I'd like all the newly generated areas to be LARGE BIOME. I am using Bukkit, is it as simple as changing the server.properties file or is there more going on here?


Why can't I break or place blocks in my LAN-enabled world?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Why can't I destroy or break blocks? I was playing Minecraft in single-player mode today when I turned on the "Open to LAN" option. I then changed my game mode to "creative" to fly back to my house, but when I turned my game mode back to "survival", I couldn't place anything down or break any blocks! I've tried re-downloading Minecraft but that didn't help at all. It's just me in this world, so another user couldn't have changed any settings. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?


Is it possible to be temporarily blacklisted from rooms/hosting in multiplayer Modern Warfare 2?

Sometimes late at night when the rooms are nowhere near full, I find that I am host in TDM games. In cases where the next map is Wasteland, I tend to exit and look for a new game and almost invariably, I get the exact same set of players and a new map, usually not Wasteland within a second. However, if I do this more than twice, I find myself not being able to join a room for short periods of time. At first I thought it was because the room randomly filled up or got merged, but then I noticed that the same players trickled into whatever room I was next placed in, which led me to the conclusion that I might have been blocked from rejoining that room for a short period of time because I kept leaving as host. Also, I find that when that happens, I am almost always not host for the next match, even with the exact same set of players. Does this mean that I get marked as a bad host or is it just an 'intricacy' of the IW matchmaking algorithm? EDIT: I'm playing on PC


In CS, what does it mean when someone gets accused of being an `interp`

I've been playing for a while, but I've never managed to get an answer other than "NOOOOOOB" to the question "What does `interp`" mean. Does anyone know what interp is? Is it a hack? and if so, why doesn't VAC ban `interp`ers


Why does Zoltan Kulle seem to know the truth before everybody?

When you are talking with Zoltun Kulle before reviving him, he says something like : "Your birth right could make you a god." Saying that makes me think at that point in the story, he already knows that you are the Nephalem, when everybody you hang around with for considerably more time just sees you as different... not a legendary hero. So why does Zoltan seem to know everything about you right off the bat?


Can you transfer characters on a WoW account to yourself?

I have played WoW for years but have not been playing for the past year or so (started in TBC, stopped about a year or more ago). I am interested in just playing around again without paying, so I am thinking about making a new account and playing a bunch of toons to level 20 just to see if the game feels fun to me again. If I do this and end up liking it I would like to upgrade the account to paid for a month or more to get RAF benefits. If I do this, would I then be able to link my old account and my new one in some way so that I could play all characters I have ever played before? If the answer is no, is it possible that my "son" could make a new account and do the same thing and then transfer the characters to me (since my legal name would be on the account since I would be making the account for him?)


How to get Materia from Aeris' hair in the Forgotten Capital?

What makes the entire room on fire in Inferno Butcher?

We're trying to beat the Butcher on Inferno, and towards the end of the fight the entire room is on fire at once, so nowhere is safe to stand and we all die. It's always happened around 25% of his life, but sometimes higher and other times lower. Does the entire room start on fire based on the Butcher's hp, or based on time? We're trying to figure out if we need more dps, or hp/fire resist.


Battlefront: Is there a specific number of units active for each side?

At the end of each match in both Battlefront I and II, there is a listing of all the unit names and their accomplishments throughout the match. Are _all_ of these units active at any time during the match (assuming there are enough reinforcements to support them)? Or is there a smaller number actually active, with a waiting list (or something) of units waiting to spawn?


What strategy do you use to earn the Blitzkrieg achievement during the Media Blitz mission?

To earn the Blitzkrieg achievement in StarCraft 2 you are supposed to complete the Media Blitz mission in under 20 minutes on hard. I keep coming in right at 21 minutes. Not sure what's wrong with my strategy but I can't quite crack 20. What strategy have you devised to earn the achievement?


About the additional axe thrown by putting sidearm rune on the frenzy skill

The skill description makes it seem to as if frenzy runed with sidearm will give a 25% chance of throwing a piercing axe on top of the attack. Is this true or am I misunderstanding something? Example of what I mean: Assume I am fighting one single enemy. If the piercing axe procs, will that attack deal 220% weapon damage to my enemy (110% from the normal attack and 110% from the piercing axe)? If this is true, then what is the point of the maniac rune? The maniac rune will boost dps by an additional 20% of weapon damage (but only when at full frenzy stacks). But the sidearm rune boosts dps by 25% of weapon damage (and is not dependent on having full frenzy stacks).


Is there a way to get rid of skrashers for good?

They are the only nuisance one cannot turn off in sandbox mode... I know not to accept Nostros, so the trouble is most likely restricted to Memaus infecting peeps.

Forming a "concave" with your army

Something that I've read a lot about when discussing attacking and defending is often the discussion of forming a perfect "concave" with your army. What does a concave look like and in what situations is this technique important to execute?


What is the build order for the 3RR+lings rush?

I've seen some posts about a 3RR+lings which is supposed to be similar to the 7RR, but with only 3 roaches and speedlings, allowing easier worker harassment once the roaches breach the wall-off. What is the exact build order to use for this, and what should you look for when scouting to see if you should perform this build? (or cancel it)

Is there any way to get back the WoL command card in HotS?

In Wings of Liberty, when you selected a unit you'd get an Attack button on the bottom bar that you could click and then click a unit/area to move and attack. In Heart of the Swarm I can't find such a button and it seems you have to press `A` and click for this to work. Is there a way to get the button back?


Does "Abduct" prevent SCVs from building?

The new Zerg Viper is able to use "Abduct", pulling allied or enemy units directly to them. What happens if the abducted target is an SCV in the middle of constructing a command center? Can the SCV be targeted in the first place? Does this cancel the building? Is the player alerted that their building was interrupted? Does the SCV try to continue building after being pulled?


What is the machinery depicted in the Metroid Prime Trilogy intro sequence?

The intro video of Metroid Prime 3 has the camera backing out through a tunnel full of machinery. Is it known what this is? Is it the interior of Samus's arm cannon? If this is a spoiler, please mark it as such; I have not completed Metroid Prime 3.


Why would I choose a Palladium Drill over a Palladium Pickaxe?

I recently entered hardmode with my new character, and I am being faced with two choices: the Palladium Pickaxe and Palladium Drill. I remember that before 1.2, there were only drills, not pickaxes, for the hardmode-tier mining tools. After comparing them, I have found that the pickaxe has 5 knockback, and drill has 0. Other than that, they are identical. So, why would I choose a Drill? If the only difference is the knockback, there doesn't seem to be a good reason to get the Drill over the Pickaxe. Or am I missing something? _note_ : the wiki says the pickaxe can't mine Adamantite and Titanium, but that appears to be wrong; they both have 130% pickaxe power. Also, in-game, they actually have the same tooltip, so the wiki's wrong.


Minecraft: testfor not full health

I have a command block linked to a timer with the following command: `kill @p[score_health_min=1,score_health_max=19]` I also have a second command block with this command, triggered earlier when the player starts the game: `scoreboard objectives add health health` When I slightly injure myself (to a health of under 19), I don't get killed! **Why not? Do I have any errors in my commands?** Thanks for any help that anyone can supply!


Is it worth it to switch to the Vintage Suit (10% discount on all items) every time I buy an item even though I already have the Advanced Suit?

I am currently in Chapter 11 and just got the Advanced Suit. **Is it worth it to switch to theVintage Suit** (10% discount on all items in the Store) **every time I buy an item in the Store even though I already have the much betterAdvanced Suit** (last suit in the first playthrough) **?** I would like to know if I'm gonna be missing out on a significant amount of money if I stick with the Advanced Suit for the rest of the game, as I always stock up on ammo and other items when I encounter a Store, and after that, use the rest of my money to buy Power Nodes. Or would the lack of a 10% discount by the Advanced Suit not have a significant effect on my item stocking up (i.e. I'll have enough money, anyway)? Some of the factors I'm considering:   * (A pro for changing) There's no more need to save money to buy another expensive suit, as the Advanced Suit is the last RIG available in the first playthrough.   * (A con for changing) Changing Isaac's RIG takes time as I have to watch a long cutscene _every time_ Isaac changes his RIG (one for the Vintage Suit, and another one back to the Advanced Suit) Notes:   * I'm currently on my first playthrough (although an answer also with details for a New Game+ playthrough would be nice too).   * I'm currently playing without any DLCs, and hence, unable to use the DLC-added RIGs (to avoid having all weapons/armor unlocked at the start as detailed in this PC Gaming Wiki article here). I will be playing with the DLCs in my next New Game+ playthrough, so answers with details on the DLCs would be appreciated.   * I'm playing in Normal difficulty (an answer for the higher difficulty levels would be appreciated, in preparation for my next playthrough).


How do the Silent Assassin requirements work?

In Hitman: Absolution, certain actions earn you bonus points. These bonuses add points to your score. Based on your score at the end of the mission, you are given a ranking, on a scale from Agent to Silent Assassin. What's confusing is that not only is "Silent Assassin" the best ranking, but one of the _bonuses_ that you can achieve is also named "Silent Assassin". I've also proved that it is possible to get the Silent Assassin Bonus, but lose the Silent Assassin Ranking through stupidity afterwards.   * **What are the requirements for the Silent Assassin Bonus?**   * **What are the requirements for the Silent Assassin Ranking?**   * **Is it possible to get the Silent Assassin Ranking without the Silent Assassin Bonus?**


PvZ double Stargate - does it work and how?

Just played a very quick PvZ match - I scouted a very early fast expand from the Zerg player and managed to deny any of their scouting with an early stalker. I had been thinking of early trying some early starport tactics for a while so teched up to double stargate and tried to get out some early Void rays and Phoenix (to deal with the queens), sending it in as soon as it was ready however as soon as I got there the opponent already had 2 queens - more than I could handle. I backed off for a bit until extra my phoenix arrived but by then he just had more queens - my micro with the air units was fairly poor, but I seemed like I was never really going to have the critical mas of air units needed to deal with his queens. Can this build work against a Zerg fast expand or did I just execute it badly? If it can work, how does it work? Do I need to build void rays first or Phoenixes, and should I send them in ASAP or wait until I have a critical mass before tipping them off?


How often can animals breed?

After I've bred two animals, there is a time frame where they wont accept wheat/seeds/carrots, in order to breed again. However I've only got a couple of animals at this stage, and I would like to maximise the efficiency (i.e, minimise the time) in which I get to a relatively large flock/herd. So, how long do I have to wait before trying to breed them again?

How can I increase productivity?

I have started building my cross-nation empire but I am struggling with understanding how "productivity" works. Currently I have made myself the following garages: ![garages](http://i.stack.imgur.com/p47UT.png) As you can see there is a field on the right called _productivity_. This is also shown on the left of the screen: ![productivity](http://i.stack.imgur.com/FLpXl.png) The bit under _current week productivity_ says that a garage of this size should be making £150k per week whereas I'm actually only making £57k. How can I increase the productivity of my garages?

How to transfer items between characters?

Is there a way to transfer items between my characters in Dungeon Siege 3? I've been searching what seems high and low for any info...   1. Can I transfer items between my characters (protagonist, companion (AI))?   2. If not, is there a general rule to who picks up the drop?   3. If there isn't, how can I influence who gets the drop?


What are all the attacks you can perform with a Switch Axe?

There's not really any kind of tutorial on how to use each particular weapon in the game, but I've been slowly figuring out some new moves with the Switch Axe over time as I keep playing. A little while ago, I was able to perform a series of moves that I have not been able to repeat since. In axe mode, I was able to keep swinging the axe (using stamina each swing) horizontally one way then the other by repeatedly mashing the A button. Every time I've attempted since then, I do a single swing and then go into a long recovery animation. How do I do that move? What other "hidden" moves or chains of moves exist for the Switch Axe?


When will I be able to purchase the car dealership in San Fierro in GTA: San Andreas?

I know its an old game, but when I played it first buying houses was a matter as I had no money. But now that I know a cheat, I can have money to make the purchases. But in the game there is an house, which is blue in color I mean the house icon that is blue and keeps telling me that this house cannot be purchased right now. How can I get that house to be green? Its a car garage I guess and its infront of the home that's in Dowerty (the construction thing area, remember? where we burry the man in cement). I am sure there might be a way or a mission by which we can enable that, but I cannot figure it out, I killed Smoke in the last mission but still that house was Blue.

My Quest Giver Just Became a Zombie?

I am playing Skyrim Dragonborn and I got a quest from Glover Mallory (who happens to be Delvin's brother) to find the `Ancient Nord Pickaxe`. Last known location was with `Crescius Caerellius`. Tracked this guy down, convinced Crescius to hand over the pickaxe before starting the mission. Now when I try to return it, this is what I see. This guy is praying or proselytizing to an Altar? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/648Al.jpg) The person Glover Mallory is like a zombie. WTF gives? How do I complete this quest? A word no spoilers please. I still do not know WTF is happening. Thanks.


Where can I find a golden ant?

In the _secluded hut_ area, you find a 'mole' living in a house on top of a hill. He has a collection of ants, but he tells you he's missing the rare 'golden ant' and asks if you would bring one back to him. I've been back and forward a couple screens and haven't seen anything but regular ants (as far as I can tell). What does the golden ant look like? And where can I find one? ![The mole wants me to find one](http://i.stack.imgur.com/I9Mes.jpg)


Are Wards actually useful?

Is there any point to using these spells? They drain so much magicka it hard for me to believe there is an actual use for them. If there is a use can someone please tell me how and what combination of spells if any do they use with them.


Building a road to a faraway city state - Are they kidding?

When a really faraway city state asks me to build a road to join our two cities, is this a bug or is there a way to do it?


Are there any time-based events?

In Fallout New Vegas, do I have to keep an eye on the time/date? Are there any events that happen after a certain amount of ingame time? Can you for example miss something if you arrive to late in a certain place or don't finish a quest until a specific day? I remember that in Fallout 1 or 2 (or both?) you were on a deadline and things could happen in the world without your interaction.


AI Civ having another civ's specialty unit

How is it possible for an AI civilization to gain/build another civilization's specialty unit? Twice now I have run into this issue. On my current game, the Dutch have a Cho-Ko-Nu (the chinese specialty unit). In a prior game, the Swiss had Legion units (the Roman spec. unit).


Are Playstation 2 saved games (esp. Gran Turismo 3) portable across regions?

I've been playing the Japanese release of Gran Turismo 3 on my PS2. What happens if I take my PS2 memory card, and use it with the American release of GT3? The GT games use an arbitrary "Credits" as money, but they are clearly intended to mimic the local currency, e.g., a car that costs 20,000 credits in the American version costs 2,000,000 credits in the Japanese version, matching the dollar/yen exchange rate. There are two parts to this, I guess:   * Are PS2 memory cards region-locked when they're initialized, like the games, or will any card data work anywhere?   * Do PS2 save-games use the same format for all regions (and then the particular game simply displays your money adjusted for the PS2's region's currency), or is "Japanese GT3" considered a different game than "American GT3" for the purposes of save-game files? (I'm interested in the answer to this question for Okami, too, since the Japanese version of the game apparently doesn't have the "jukebox" feature for playing the soundtrack, and buying the official soundtrack -- if you can find one -- costs 10 times what the game does! So being able to use a Japanese Okami save-game with an American Okami would let me record the soundtrack for my iPod a lot more cheaply and easily.)


What is a private building?

I've received an offer to purchase all of the private buildings on my island. Unfortunately, I have no idea what constitutes a private building, and just accepting the offer didn't seem to net me anything. So what is a private building? Do I have to designate them somehow? Is there a downside to selling them like this? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/o7LVd.jpg)


What items can I disenchant with an Enchanting skill of 450?

I have a level 65 tradeskill alt who has maxed out his Enchanting at 450. Will he be able to disenchant _any_ Cataclysm-level bind-on-equip items I come across on my level 85 main, or are there some higher-level items which he won't be able to dispose of unless I level him up to 75 to unlock the next tier of Enchanting skill (450-525)?


Which potion of poison deals more damage

There are two improvements that can be performed on potion of poison (and generally on most potions):   1. Redstone dust improvement - makes potion last longer   2. Glowstone dust improvement - makes the potion effect stronger while decreasing the effect strength Since the Potion of Poison deals damage over time, it's a question, whether more damage will be dealt with increased duration or with lower duration but higher DPS.   Does anyone know the answer?


How exactly do music boxes work?

One of my villagers told me that if I take a Giant Clam Shell and one of K.K. Slider's songs to Cyrus, he'll make me a music box. Doing some research on the internet, this does seem to be true, but what I can't find is if you can ever get that piece of music back. Given that pieces of music in this game are also items that you can display on the wall, this is kind of important to me. Currently, you can take any piece of music and insert it into a music player (stereo, record player, etc.) and it will keep it there for you, as a form of storage, and then you can just choose whatever you want to play from the list of songs. If I create a music box out of a song, will it only play that one song forever? Is there any way to get my piece of music back? If there is not, will K.K. let me request that same song again so I can get another copy for use in my regular music player/to hang on my wall?

Can Ugh-Zan IV be defeated at all on Serious difficulty at 400% health?

I wanted to try how the ultimate Serious Sam 3 tastes like, so I started the last level on Serious difficulty with infinite ammo and 400% enemy health, for a whopping ×57 multiplier. It's pretty fucking serious and in the last few waves you just have to spam cannonballs (it's still more fun than your run of the mill 16 player coop where you're trying to engage some enemies that you can kill normally and people just spam cannons away for fun and profit). Things went pretty nice (given that I was alone for pretty much 98% of the level) and I managed to survive enough to reach the final boss with over one million points (you lose 10k on death), then Ugh-Zan arrived. Well, my use-one-bar-then-spam-cannons strategy didn't work so well, perhaps unsurprisingly. So I kept throwing bars at his behind. At the 5th bar, he stopped having room in his back for new bars, apparently. The boss fight loop then becomes:   1. Ugh-Zan goes for the sand whale, cannon spam to fight his regeneration is practically useless. He _will_ have 100% health at the end of this phase.   2. Ugh-Zan turns around and celebrates, then five lightning bolts turn him to 20% health and regeneration stops. Cannon spam gets him to 5%, then he resumes.   3. Ugh-Zan engages you, and cannon-spam to fight his regen is again useless, because...   4. Ugh-Zan is again struck by five lightnings, but those lightning drop him at 20% health anyway, even if he had 60% to start with. They're just scripted that way. You have a little more time to strike this time around, and I got him to 1% at best. Then he resumes regenerating and I'm back to square one. When another player joined the fight, things got _worse_ as each cannonball now made _less_ of a dent on the skin of this serious boss. After a couple of cycles, he left. Then I noticed I'd died for the 40th time, and I was experiencing a very annoying glitch where I'd get sucked away from the battlefield into sand whale territory (land of the instantly overheating jet-pack), so I'd have to fall, get killed by mobs, respawn, get "instakilled" by the whale except I have respawn invulnerability, be stuck in place until I get killed again and then get respawned in the middle of the square. Cannon spam to fight his regen is pointless anyway, but being stuck like that is enraging, so I joined him in "ragequitting". Can Ugh-Zan be defeated at all on Serious difficulty and 400% strength? How many players are required? How many bars in the back are needed?


How to play against a friend with higher demographics?

I'm starting to believe Civ 5 really makes this hard, as once you get behind in tech/GNP you will lose the ability to beat them. The situation is this, I've started on a not too prosperous continent (other civs border-to-border) while my friend, the opponent, has started up on a much more free continent. He leads the demographics but not in an order of magnitude. I run at third on every demographic attribute. Are there any tips and tricks to become victorious in an unbalanced situation against a human player?

Looking For Ragnarok Online Knight Tips/Builds

i just started playing Ragnarok Online on a retail Brasilian Server ( Hosted by LevelUpGames ). After talking to some friends that play RO i decided to start in `Way of Knights playstyle.` My aim is to play with Pikes after "reseting" (or whatever you guys may call it). Since i just started and my level is Base 19, i need some tips. 1 - Whats the Mobs Level Difference i should aim when leveling ? (EG: Fight Mobs that are 10 Levels Above mine ? ). I know there is a table that explains the bonus [here][1] but i can't handle by myself 2 - People say that i must level as a two handed sword Knight, using AGI,DEX and STR as my main attribs. Is it that faster to level that way instead of leveling using pikes ? 3 - Where can i find decent gear/weapons while leveling ? Is there any spot that i might visit to get some gear before a certain level ? 4 - Are Knights with Pikes, good for PvP or Two Handed Swords ones are Better ? Extra-Question: When is Ragnarok Online 2 Going Public ? These are my questions,sorry to get them all together in a single Thread. Thanks in advance for everyone :D


Applying the 24 block rule for minecraft mob spawner

When playing Minecraft and building a mob spawning chamber where _exactly_ is the 24 block rule applied to? Say for example I have a chamber beneath my collection point. Do I measure from the grid for the mobs to walk on (x), the last open square within the chamber, (x+2, assuming 2 tall levels) or do I take the roof into consideration (x+3, assuming two tall spaces and one block thick roof)? Generally I'm not that picky - I move around enough that it really doesn't matter if I'm a couple of blocks off. However, I'm trying a new design and the dimensions will be a lot more crucial.


What's the best way to harvest organs from the Infernal Machine?

It's clear that key farming will be an exercise on its own, but after key farming, what strategies are effective in farming the organs? For example in Diablo 2 it was well known that you wanted to wait to open all 3 portals at the same time to take the randomness out of it, is that possible in Diablo 3?


I cannot fast travel to any of my DLC downloaded from the season pass

I have downloaded it several times in the Borderlands 2 menu, but each time it has not worked. I have tried deleting the DLC from my flash drive and redownloading it but that hasn't worked either. Could it be because I am downloading it onto a flash drive? Also I've checked the downloadable content menu and it says I have them installed.

2 PCs playing same game require to download patch 2 times, any solution?

This is quite bad: me and my girlfriend both play Guild Wars 2. She just downloaded a patch of 1GB on her PC, and now to play I have to download it again or copy paste it from her computer. Are there any solution to avoid this, like sharing the game directory? Notice that we have 2 different computers (but we are on the same network). If it's possible, how's big the performance loss? I'm getting really mad updating the game from the network. I don't even understand why it can't use my LAN as a P2P support which can insanely speed up my download (because she already downloaded the patch).

How do I enter the cheat codes for Noclip, Immortality, etc?

Do they work at all?

Does the number of Grifts done affect the drop rates of the next ones?

I have been farming as much greater rift boss to get the gems / legendary. So I was waiting until below 4 minutes to make sure I get the next level key. I was running with my friends and some of them were saying : "I don't know what happened but I was seeing much more legendary from the Greater rift boss before". I was just wondering if it was just sheer luck that they don't get much or if once you complete X number of greater rifts the drop rates lower or something. Or maybe the completion time increases drop rate. I don't know, was there any blue post on this? Thanks

Piracy is okay: ship or augment?

Playing FTL Captain's Edition, with the Mantis Cruiser, I get involved in a lot of piracy. I noticed that the Mantis Pheromones augment's description has been altered to include text about it being essentially a badge for my ship, proving that pirating is all good. But the blue event option saying that it's okay states "(Mantis Ship)" as the source. Basically, what I'd like to know is, if I sell my Mantis Pheromones augment to make room for something more useful, will I then lose the ability to pirate at will, or is it indeed the ship itself that makes it cool?


Overriding a game center with new data.

On my iPhone I have the game clash of clans. I am I pretty high level (83) and I am a th9.... So I am pretty far in this game. Recently, my Game Center started asking me if I wanted to load my th1. I was confused so I looked at my Game Center and for clash of clans it never showed any of the achievements I got and would suggest I am a th1. My clash apparently never saved to my Game Center. Is there any way to overide my current Game Center with the current data on clash of clans? This would be really helpful because I got a new phone and would like to play coc on it with all my saved things.

How do extractors get damaged?

Extractors can take damage while deployed. That's as much info as the game gives, and that's obviously not enough. What are the specific rules for deployed extractors taking damage? Are they only vulnerable during specific parts of their work cycles? How much damage do they take per hit? Does it matter what planet it's deployed to? Is there any way to avoid this damage? And as always, I'll record my own observations here and see if a pattern emerges.   * Titan Extractor, deployed to Mercury, took 29% damage while active.   * Titan Extractor, deployed to Mercury, took 37% damage while active.

How does Yojimbo's Ultimate Attack get used

during my first play though i got it to work by summoning him with Yuna's Grand Summon Overdrive and giving him all my money, i had like 100,000 Gil left after having gotten his services (i had chosen the options to have him request 300,000 Gil, got him for about 190,000 Gil), the first time was over 100,000 but every time i gave him all my money while in overdrive he seemed to do it, when when i had like 20,000 to beat Sin (the battle where Sin approaches the airship and the battle ends in like 5 turns as his Overdrive increases) in my second playthough, i chose the options so that Yojimbo was asking for 150,000 which made things easier but even with an overdrive and 50,000 he still isn't doing his ultimate attack i ask as i have always had problems with Yunalesca, i can beat her first from with no Aeons and the second from i can beat her with either Shiva (due to her Overdrive only having her miss 1 turn, her Personal Attack Skill not making her loosing a turn and having Bizzara to heal herself) or my powered up Bahamut (who is dealing close to 20,000 damage from an overdrive and he's been taught Healing Spells), but her third from is what gets me every time, i normally have Yuna build up an Overdrive prior and save it for Yunalesca's final from

Can I move my downloaded Origin games to another location without reinstalling them?

I place all of my games in `c:\games` because I've had times, especially with older games, when the space in Program Files (or the brackets in Program Files(x86)) interfered with proper gameplay. I currently have Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3 and Dragon Age 2 installed through Origin, but I didn't configure the Origin Install path properly and now they are located in `c:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games`. I reconfigured that path to `c:\games\Origin Games`, but my games are still in the old folder. Can I just copy and paste them over to the folder I want them to be or do I have redownload them?


Morte bug in Planescape:Torment prevents me ending the game

_This is about the end of the game, so obviously there will be spoilers, be warned!_ I am at the end of the game, and tried to do the merging end. I manage to do it, get the FMV, and merge with the Mortality. Then, TNO goes to resurrect his companions. He starts by resurrecting Morte, and that's it. Morte stands in front of TNO, I can't talk to him, and he is not even part of my group. I can't access his inventory, can't see his stats, he is not in the group characters' bar. I have tried reloading previous saves several times with no success, and using previous saves didn't help either. This is very frustrating, as it is the very end of the game... Is there a fix for this issue?

How do I make a "Rotary hopper clock"?

I'm working on a project that requires a fairly long delay. I found the "Rotary hopper clock" on Minecraft 101, and I do like the compact design it has to it. However I'm not entirely sure how it works, and the article I found doesn't go very in-depth on it. I'm not really new to Redstone, but I haven't really gotten too far into it until now. So, how exactly does it work (I'm not even sure where the output is), and how am I supposed to use it? Here is a picture of it from the article: ![Rotary hopper clock](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sAeSf.jpg)


How do I split item stacks?

I had two ingot presses. I'd like to sell one, but I can't find a way to split the stack. This answer provides a work-around involving placing stacks in crafting screens, but that doesn't work for the crafting items. Placing my smelters in the smithing kit didn't separate them. Placing them in themselves didn't do it. Placing them in the Lutefisk Cube turned them both into lutefisk! I'd like to avoid another lutefisk incident. How can I split stacks of crafting items?

When is buckshot preferable to slugs with shotguns in Battlefield 3?

In what situations is it better to use buckshot than slugs with shotguns in Battlefield 3? In close quarters battles, 6/11 pellets need to hit for a 1 hit kill… and that falls off quickly, to the point where at even moderate distances it takes 3 or 4 shells to kill an opponent. Slugs, however, are guaranteed one hit kill in close quarters, and still deal an appreciable amount of damage at range. Moreover, even in close quarters, I feel like I get more killing hits with slugs than with shot. So: when does it make sense to use buckshot?


Is there anything past the flagpole in Super Mario Bros?

As we know it is possible to jump over the flagpole in Super Mario Bros, are there any secrets or easter eggs beyond them? Growing up I heard rumors that there was a secret pipe if you ran far enough, however I'm skeptical now that I'm older since it appears that it's more of an unintended exploit than a "secret". This question applies to the original or any remakes of the original.

How can I be sure to only get one enchantment per item?

## Question Is there a way, and if so how, to be sure to enchant one generic item (sword, pickaxe, armor, box etc...) with **only one** enchantment? If so, will it be possible to get the maximum level of that single enchantment? ## Use case Reason for asking: Repairing an item with an anvil costs depending on the amount of enchantments and level of enchantments the item has. Now let's consider this scenario: We have two jobs:   * Mining a lot of stone blocks   * Mining important resources (diamonds / iron / gold etc...) The ideal pickaxe for this situation would require _at least_ :   * Efficiency IV   * Fortune III Let's say you have such a pickaxe. Mining a lot of stone blocks would destroy the durability pretty fast and repairing such a pickaxe would require a big amount of XP. The whole system is clearly inefficient. Now assume you have two pickaxes now. And you find a way to have Efficiency IV on one and Fortune III in the other; the first one would be the one that would be repaired more often and would be pretty cheap to repair. The second one would be the one used only for very important resources and would therefore rarely need to be repaired. The second system seem more efficient for the job because:   * It splits the enchantments for specific jobs   * It's cheaper to repair

When expending additional AP to aim a weapon what does the yellow circle mean?

In Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business when you expend additional AP to aim at the enemy, on the final click before you cycle back to no extra AP the aiming circle will turn yellow without increasing the number of AP the shot will take. For example: 6 -> 7 -> 8 -> 9 -> 10 -> 10 (yellow) -> 6. The game manual only says that 4 AP is the maximum you can spend on a shot. What does the yellow circle mean?


Does Essence Burn include the explosion damage from Exploding Palm?

The new patch buffed Exploding Palm in a big way. You hit a monster with it, it starts bleeding. Kill it while the bleed is active, it explodes for 50% of it's maximum health. Needless to say, that's a LOT of damage to be dealing out from a single skill. Use it on two or three monsters in the same pack, and you can often cause a chain reaction that takes out the rest of the pack. Now, the last rune for Exploding Palm is Essence Burn. The rune text is: > Instead of bleeding, the enemy will burn for X% weapon damage as Fire over Y > seconds. If the enemy dies while burning, it explodes causing all nearby > enemies to burn for Z% weapon damage as Fire over N seconds. This effect can > happen multiple times. Based on usage, I get the exploding effect on other multiple enemies, but I can't seem to figure out if they take the extra 50% explosion damage _on top_ of the burning effect. If they do, Essence Burn is seriously silly in how you can just apply it to one, and watch the explosions happen.

How do I tell Steam my games are already installed?

I installed Windows 8 on a second drive and made a Junction for Steamapps so Steam on Windows 8 could access all the 100+ already downloaded games from Windows 7. This almost worked, but each and every game wants to validate and/or redownload files if I try to launch them, and my "installed" list acts as if these games weren't there at all. I have full access to the Windows 7 partition which "knows" which games are installed--how can I either copy files from Windows 7 or otherwise force Windows 8 steam to realize it's already got all these games downloaded?

What area of effect does the Siren skill Ruin have?

The description for the Sirens Ruin skill (the last skill of the Cataclysm tree) says "Phaselock now Slags, Electrocutes, and Corrodes **all nearby enemies**." I haven't been able to figure out where the "nearby" is exactly, is it enemies near the phaselocked enemy or enemies close to your character? In either case, what is the range for "nearby". I've tried playing around with it, but can't figure out either of these questions.


Does Reflect prevent damage?
