Is there an alternate way to obtain licenses other than NX cash?

The **_Patrol License_** (to view party details of monsters before battle) seems to be very useful. Is there some method to obtain this effect in-game (through items, player or mercenary skills etc.) without having to use the item shop? If this answer can be generalized to **all** licenses, please provide that as well.

How can I see my skill abilities?

I've just started playing The Secret World. In the game you have room to place skill points and ability points. It seems that if you place a skill point you get a small passive bonus. But it went away too fast and I didn't actually see what bonus I got. Is there a way for me to see what the future skills give, and what the previous skills have given me?

Redstone door lock (memory cell)

I want to make a pvp map which has 2 spawnpoints on the map. The spawnpoints are closed off with an iron door. The teams can both get ready by flipping a lever. Now i want to make it so when both teams are ready the doors open. This could be achieved by a memory cell. I know because i have made these before but i cant remember how to build this and i also knew it wouldn't work if i added more doors. Any suggestions?

Is it possible to bypass enemy space defenses in Star Wars: Empire at War?

While playing the Empire campaign in Star Wars: Empire at War, I've noticed that the Rebels' fleets sometimes ignore my space defenses if I only have a space station and no ships. More specifically, I remember the Rebels were able to move some ground units to Endor, and attack my ground forces there while ignoring my space station. When playing the Rebel campaign, I was able to do the same thing to Imperial- controlled Mon Calamari. However, I was unable to replicate this behavior for other planets, so I think it might have something to do with whether the local population helps you (both Ewoks and the locals on Mon Calamari help the Rebels). Could anyone clarify how this works?


Whats up with Titanfall being unable to fill game matches?

Is it just me or is matchmaking in Titanfall completely broken? Wondering if my network settings or something could be giving me a hard time. I end up in matches with only two–three players on each team. How hard can it be to find 12 players for a match? It does not matter if I leave and rejoin or how long I play. Is there anything I can do? or is it all up to EA’s servers?

Is jumping in snow piles the same as throwing snowballs?

I got the recent update for Snoopy's Street Fair, and the goal that used to be "jump in 50 leaf piles" changed to "jump in 50 snow piles". I figured it would work like the leaf piles - tap them, Snoopy runs over, and hops in. Simple enough. However, when I tap the snow piles, Snoopy runs over, steps on the pile, and throws a snowball at someone. I have noticed that the progress meter hasn't moved for the 50 snow piles goal since the update - is this related to the fact that Snoopy is throwing snow instead of jumping in it? Or is my game just bugged somehow?


The Protestant Reformation recently began in my game of Europa Univeraslis IV, and it's spreading quite rapidly across my nation. When it first started I was hoping to stop it, but that doesn't look like it'll be an easy task. As the percentage of Protestants in my nation started to grow I started thinking it might just be easier to wait until Protestant becomes the dominate religion and switch my state religion to Protestant. I noticed that doing so will give me a +10% bonus to Tax, and a 10% decrease in technology costs. The bonuses are very nice, but I've also noticed I get a diplomatic relations bonus with nations of the same religion. I'm assuming there might be a wide range of consequences for switching my religion beyond just these two things, so before I make the decision I'm hoping someone can detail the various benefits and drawbacks of switching my state religion to Protestant. What are the various pros and cons of switching my state religion to Protestant?


Why do I lose XM without doing any action?

It happened to me more than once, that my XM reserve would drop without any obvious reason. E.g my XM reserve is at 100%, I'm travelling, not making any actions (hacking, firing, recharging, etc.), and next time I check it's down to 80% or even lower. Is there anything that makes players lose XM over time?


Is there a science to Disenchanting in Hearthstone?

I have been too chicken to disenchant any cards in Hearthstone. I have heard rumors they (Blizzard) were upping the amount of dust you got back from each card. I don't know the validity; but, it has made me not want to even test this feature. That said I would like an explanation of what I am looking at on the card disenchantment screen:   * What are the Green (left side) and Red (right side numbers)?   * Do I have to "learn" any cards before I can make them?   * Are there certain cards that are more cost effective to disenchant?   * Is the "disenchant all 'extra' cards" button safe?   * Does it disenchant all card stacks over two cards?


Where in Pokemon X can I find that character that won't let me pass because I wasn't a champion?

How to sign out of the Windows 8 Wordament game app so that another person can play with a different account

I have not been able to find a sign out option in the Windows 8 Wordament game so that another person can log in with a different account. I tried going to the Games section (from the tile on the Windows 8 home page) & signed in with a different account. However, when I go the Wordament app, the account with which I had originally signed in still shows up. Can anyone please explain the steps to sign out of the Wordament app so that I can log in with a new gamertag?


How to manage heavy armor in Eschalon Book II?

I'm trying to play as a heavy-armor using character in Eschalon book II. My problem is that even though I invest heavily in strength, wearing all that heavy armor really leaves me very little to spare in my encumbrance value, so I can't carry a lot of treasure. Any tips on building such a character? **EDIT:** in addition to investing points into strength I use two +3 str rings, +2 str amulet, +2 str belt etc., and I still find it hard to keep up - I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

How can I change the default battle keys in Star Control II?

I got an original copy of Star Control II and I am playing it under DOSBox in my Windows 7. It all works beautifully. However, the game come with a file named "keys.exe" which does affect the keys in Super Melee, but it does not affect the keys in the game itself: it seems to be "stuck" on `Enter` and `Space` only. (ordinary shot and special shot) Anybody have an idea? Maybe it's something with the DOSBox and the way it maps the keys? Although it's not likely, as in the Super Melee which also runs under DOSBox it works fine.


How to stop the computer from rushing in Dawn of War

I have been playing **Warhammer 40k, Dawn of War** for sometime now and I like the game. I have finally come up with a strategy that seems to work out fairly well. **My Strategy:** I am used to setting up my base in the beginning by creating a few units mainly for capturing flags. They cannot put up much of a fight. In the meanwhile I start also create a few fighting units for support but not much because resource is limited and I'm also doing research. Meanwhile the AI is also doing a similar thing - capturing flags, upgrading, creating fighters. **The problem:** After a few missions that idiotic AI has changed. So now, instead of capturing flags it first creates a few fighter units and directly sends them to my base. So when the game starts I have barely captured 2 flags when I start having enemy after enemy continuously on my base. And this ruins the fun completely. I can create more fighting units initially but it will just make a slow start not only for me but also for the stupid AI where we both capture flags very slowly to keep fighting. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I don't want to extend the level with a slow start. After a few tries I have started using a trainer. So at the start of the level I use the trainer to quickly create some fighting units and then I continue my normal strategy and switch off the trainer. But I don't want to play this way. Any idea what can be done?


What power set and abilities should I invest in to create a good "tank" in DC Universe Online?

If I wanted to create a "tank" in DC Universe Online: that is, someone who bears the brunt of attacks and protects his/her allies, what power set and what abilities should I invest in? Are there specific abilities I should avoid? I've seen the online game guide, but I'm interested in what works and doesn't work based on actual usage.

Other party member stopped running in the field

Recently while running around and doing side quests, I noticed that Noel was missing. I assumed that he had gotten stuck somewhere, like my Mog had gotten in the past, but when I found him he was instead walking very slowly toward me. I figured it was just a one-time thing, but nothing seems to help correct the problem. Here are things that I've tried:   * Reloading the save.   * Switching party leader.   * Changing location through the Historia Crux.   * Enter and exit battles.   * Press random buttons... You get the idea. While it's not game breaking, it does break my immersion a bit when Noel decides to take a stroll at the other side of the area. Does anyone know of a way to fix this problem?


Are the Dead Space 3 collector trophies dependent on optional side missions?

What's wrong with my clothes industry?

My dwarves seem pretty excited about procreation and I now have a large population of babies and children hanging around the fortress. The problem is that the children are all going mad and throwing tantrums. I'm fairly certain it's because the babies became children and I didn't have an extra supply of clothes to wear so they're all having unhappy thoughts from being naked. I queued up a bunch of cloth pants and other clothes only to be met with "Needs 1 unused plant cloth", which I attempted to make via my loom only to be met with "Needs 1 unused collected plant thread". I have been gathering plants like mad to fix this but I must be missing a step because I keep getting the plant thread alert. What am I missing for keeping my clothes industry going strong?

Does the AC 3 pre-order collector editions lack content available with the special edition

On the official AC3 pre order page it presents 4 different options:   * Standard Edition, just the game   * Special Edition, the game including "A Dangerous Secret" mission   * Join or Die Edition, the game including "Ghost of War" mission, "Sharpshooter" MP package and some toys.   * Freedom Edition, the game including "Ghost of War" and "Lost Mayan Ruins" mission, "Sharpshooter" MP and some toys, some of them the same as above and some other. It doesn't say anything about the game included with the "Join or Die" and "Freedom" editions is the special edition and not the regular, and the pictures depict the regular edition. It also doesn't say anything like "giving access to all DLCs". Is there no way to get the "full" game with all the available content?


What's an easy way to complete the "2-wheels" distance challenge?

One of the challenges in the Saintsbook is to drive your car a certain distance on two wheels. I usually get a tiny 2-wheel distance every time I jump the car over something, but this seems like a really slow way to max out this challenge. Is there a quicker way to get my car up on 2-wheels and keep it there?


How do I defeat Octoroks?

In Skyward Sword, the Octoroks behave similar to Deku Scrubs from previous games - they hide as bushes when you get too close, so you can't just slash at them with a sword. However, I cannot seem to bounce their rocks back at them no matter how hard I try - the rocks just bounce off of my shield (if I even manage to get it up in time - I haven't quite figured out how that works, either) and don't seem to reach the Octoroks to kill them. How can I kill them so that they stop killing me?


What Ocarina song am I missing, and what is it used for?

In Ocarina of time, I have the following songs:   * Zelda's Lullaby   * Epona's Song   * Song of Storms   * Sun's Song   * Saria's Song   * Song of Time I also have all of the songs used to travel to the various temples:   * Minuet of Forest    * Bolero of Fire   * Serenade of Water   * Nocturne of Shadow   * Requiem of Spirit   * Prelude of Light Looking at the song screen, though, there seems to be a slot open for a song that I haven't encountered yet. What is it? What does it do?


Is it possible to separate animals (sheep, cows, chickens, pigs) in Minecraft? Or do you have to lead each one out of their pen separately?

I'm trying to make each pen separate for the animals so I don't have too many animals in one pen. (Currently, I think I have too many animals in my pen.) I'm wondering if there is an easy way to lead certain groups of animals out of the pen instead of holding wheat and having everyone follow me. What can I do?


Do I have to replay the entire campaign again in order to get the "complete act x a different way" achievements?

I'm playing through the campaign of Saints Row 3, and at certain times you're presented with a choice about how to proceed. There are achievements for choosing each path. Right now I'm saving before each of these choices, in the hopes that I can just come back and choose the opposite path later. If I miss one (or overwrite a save) is there another way to get these achievements? When the game is complete, can I replay missions? Or would I have to start from the beginning again?


How to get rid of bed head

Is there any way to get the social events to happen more often?

I'm pretty close to the end of the game and am trying to complete challenges. All three of the social challenges are still open, and all three at 2 apiece. On a different person's account, I saw all three completed before they got into the third sequence but I can't seem to find Royal Convoys, White Whales, or Community/Social Chests to save my life. It's gotten to the point where I'm wondering if it has something to do with my friends who also play ACIV or something because I can't seem to get anywhere with it.


Is the Stalker a Tenno?

I've noticed that after the Stalker kills someone, he sits down just like any other Tenno. He also uses his weapons just like a Tenno, and seems to be using Nekros with the Shroud helmet. The only thing that seems to make him not a Tenno is the fact that he has 5 abilities. Am I correct, or am I just being stupid?


What character playstyle most resembles Bryan Fury in Tekken?

More specifically, I like to be able to engage very quickly and very powerfully if my opponent makes a mistake. In the meantime, I like methodically advancing my position and dealing good, safe damage with my normals. Good focus/throw/slide is a plus, I abuse those. I'm definitely pretty bad at this point, but I want to pick a character whose playstyle I won't hate as my skills grow. I have a few characters I'm leaning towards, but I'm looking for confirmation so I won't mention them until after I get a good round of responses. Thanks! =) EDIT: I ended up choosing Guy. He's versatile offensively with a strong mix-up game and the ability to engage quickly, forcing conflict.


How can I run a .BIN file with the ePSXe emulator?

I have the ePSXe v1.9.0 emulator for PlayStation games. I have the ROM of Disney's "The Emperor's New Groove" game for it. It's two files: one is .BIN, and the other is .CUE. I configured the emulator but it didn't ask me where the game is placed and it didn't run the game. What should I do?


Have RCT3 retail on my PC, bought RCT3: Platinum from Steam. How should I set up?

I've had a retail copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 since it first came out, which was several years ago. It's a great game. I don't play it as regularly as other games, but I still love it. The other day there was a Steam Daily Deal on RCT3: Platinum (RCT3 + Soaked! + Wild!). I went ahead and grabbed a copy because I don't have the expansions, there was no way to purchase each individual expansion via Steam, and 10 bucks seemed a good deal in my book anyway. Also, I like the Steam platform. My save games and other data are probably going to be compatible two expansions up, so I'm not worried about those, but what do I do with my existing RCT3 installation itself? Do I need to get rid of that first before having Steam install RCT3: Platinum?

What is a "Respect-Ban"?

I was watching some replays from The International 2 and the caster used this word sometimes - especially when the teams have chosen their 4th and 5th ban. What exactly is a "respect-ban"?


Why attack wards?

In League of Legends, you can attack wards for a short window of time when they're put down by the opposing team (discounting the use of other methods of finding wards). Often, a quick autoattack at the beginning of the match can only take out one segment of health on a ward, and since I can't find a definite consequence of wards losing health, **I was wondering if there's a benefit to attacking wards if you can't take it out entirely at once.**


Finding a replacement Lockpick Weekly early game

Just started playing Fallout 3:New Vegas again. One of the first quests is to break into the safe in the school house. You start out with 15 points for lockpick skill, but you need 25 to attempt to lockpick the safe. Handily, our good companion gives you a Lockpick book granting you +10 to lockpick skill temporarily. However, if you're an idiot, like me, you forget that it's temporary and just read that bad boy straight off the bat. Where can I find a replacement this early in the game?


How can I gain humanity in Dark Souls?

Every so often I'll look up at my counter and notice I gained some humanity. If I was fighting bosses I wouldn't think much of it, but sometimes it will happen when I'm just farming enemies. I've recently noticed that every so often I will spawn at a bonfire (after dying) and will gain a humanity. I'm uncertain as to why. In what ways can I gain humanity in Dark Souls?

Can you kill the Drake in the Undead Burge?

I know if you cut off the Drake's tail you get the Drake Sword, but is it also possible to kill him? I know in _Demon's Souls_ there were a couple dragons which couldn't be killed when you first met them, and would simply fly away after their health was low enough. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OegLa.jpg) Does the same thing happen here, or is it possible for me to kill the Drake? If I do kill him, what is the reward?


How do I start Super Melee mode in The Ur-Quan Masters?

I've figured out how to configure team names, membership, and control. But beyond that screen, I can't seem to find how to initiate battle. After clicking the "BATTLE!" button, I'm presented with a screen that has a black background and two blue boxes. Each box has a team name, and icons representing the ships in each team and their values. Each box also has two buttons - a question mark and a red X. At this point, my normal controls (Up/Down/Left/Right/Control/Shift/Escape) seem to not function. Is there something wrong with the game, or my system? Or, does the control set change specially for Super Melee mode at this point? How should I proceed? This is on a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 system, with UQM version 0.7.0.


What control style should I use for Voxatron?

I picked up the Voxatron alpha today and I'm finding it pretty difficult to play with WASD and a mouse since there's no way to tell if your mouse is positioned left, right, above or below the player. It's a fairly traditional two-joystick shooter but it's a PC game so I'm stuck on what control style I should attempt next. Is there a setting I'm missing that makes the mouse style bearable? Or should I break down and find a way to pair a controller with two joysticks to my Mac?


How could this MW2 round on PlayStation have been hacked?

Now I know about various hacks for games on PCs, or games that run dedicated servers which could easily be modified. However one day I was playing MW2 on my PlayStation, and I came across a very strange match on Scrapyard where a bunch of players were literally blowing the whole place up constantly. Within 30 seconds, I was already killed 20 times, while the winning team players had more than a hundred kills. The killcams showed them shooting constantly and the whole map was blowing up every few seconds. I have some video footage of that match here. How is that possible? I thought you could not hack a PS game in that way since you can't control who runs a server.


Kick reliably in Dark Souls

Is there a setting to adjust the sensitivity of kicking or leap attack? I'm using an XBOX controller on the PC. I'm using a mace. I know it is left stick forward + RB (or RT for leap attack). I'm pressing them at exactly the same time. I can get it to happen about 25% of the time while I'm just practicing in an open area with no enemies. I can't seem to figure this out, so there is no way I can reliably do it in combat. To be clear: during the other 75% of the time (when I fail to pull off the move(s)) I get a step forward and light attack or heavy attack. So my buttons and stick are working on the controller. This appears to be strictly a timing issue.


50 or 100 points for a kill?

I always seem to get 50 for a kill but on YouTube those gets 100. Is all about the game you play, or how you kill someone?


How do I fix the stuck typing bug?

Which wrench should I use?

I have no clue, I like crits with the normal wrench, but the bleeding on the Southern Hospitality is awesome with spies. I like the faster build time with the Jag, although I think it should also add metal for upgrading on in increments of 50 instead of 25. And if I had a golden wrench, I'd use that all the time. However, there can only be one. Which is the **best** wrench? (Not counting the gunslinger)


PS3 Blueray 5.1 audio playback with older receiver?

I'm having problems using my PS3 as a Blueray player and getting surround sound from my receiver. First my setup: I have both a Tivo Premier and PS3 connected to my Sony LED TV by HDMI. The Sony receiver is connected to the optical out of the TV because it doesn't support HDMI. The Tivo has no issues passing surround sound though the TV to the receiver. I also think that if I play a DVD on the PS3 I get surround sound as well, but don't recall for sure if that's the case. When I play PS3 games I do get surround sound. When I played both my "Man on Fire" BR and "The Social Network" BR, neither disc would the PS3 pass surround sound to the receiver, just 2.0 Dolby. Looking on the menu of "Man on Fire" it only supports TrueHD surround sound from the disc menu. From what I've gathered from some rather old posts in some A/V forums TrueHD is supposed to include DD tracks as well for older receivers like mine, but the PS3 doesn't seem to pass that on. Anyone else have a similar setup? Any idea where to go from here?

A tutorial was shown when I first started coming across FOES, which was nice and handy, but I can't seem to find anyway to locate the information again. I know that the colour around the FOE map icon is supposed to tell you how difficult it will be, but I can't remember the colours. I've tried locating the tutorial somewhere in my menu, but I'm not having any luck. Is there a way to view previously viewed tutorials?


Afterward-unreachables in PM:TTYD

I've just had two scares playing this one while collecting star pieces. The first was on the moon, after I had beat Lord Crump on the moon and saved, I realized I could no longer get back to the moon (since the fortress didn't have any power for that), and hence I would be unable to go get the underground star piece I missed out there. But then I found out you can go back to the moon after you beat the Shadow Queen. The second was just last night when I went specifically on a quest for the star pieces - I was in Hooktail castle and realized I couldn't ride the yellow block up to get the star piece anymore because I already destroyed the stone block. But it turns out you can just fall from above to get it. So my question is, what kinds of special collectibles (badges, shine sprites, especially star pieces) cannot be reached after a certain point? I've invested about 60 hours, so it'd be tragic if I can't go back and reach something. I know that in the previous Paper Mario game there was precisely one afterward- unreachable star piece: it's underground right before the Lava Piranha boss (after the volcano erupts, you can't go back to get it, which in turn means you can't get all of Merlow's badges). The fact that boss tattles can be found in professor Frankly's trash can, it doesn't keep track of enemies' first strikes, like the original does in Mario's house, and it seems to cares less about running away since it forces you to do it three times all suggest that TTYD is more forgiving.


What Melodies can i play to my Mountain?

I recently purchased The Mountain, one of the most discussed ~~screensaver~~ game in this year. One of the possible interactions consists of playing Melodies with your keyboard to your Mountain (or are you the Mountain and you are playing to yourself?). What Melodies can you play and what are their effects?


What's the best way to start the Crash Landing modpack?

With the new Hardcore Questing Mode (HQM), numerous modpacks have surfaced, including Crash landing. I've seen both popular and less popular YouTubers start "Let's Plays" on Crash Landing, probably because of the similarities it shows to Agrarian Skies (a hugely popular modpack). Crash Landing is a situation where your ship has crash landed on a dust covered planet and you have to battle both dehydration and overheating to survive (among other things). Most people, at the start of a Crash Landing play-through, go outside and build a wall, or dig a moat, to cover their crashed ship. The problem with this method is that working outside rapidly increases your core temperature and dehydration rate. I was wondering if a smarter move would be to start your base underneath your ship, thus avoiding the dangers of outside. Obviously the dust would fall down, but if you build your base under the solid blocks of your ship, it's likely that the dust wouldn't reach you. Also, since you're technically inside, your heat increases at a very slow rate and you dehydration is also slower. At night you might cool off, but then you can build a furnace or torch to keep you warm (which are both easy to acquire). Am I missing something important or is the best survival method by and large just a matter of personal preference? I haven't checked any of the source code so I don't know which factors affect the rate at which your character overheats but, logically, building an underground base in the desert seems like a more logical thing to do than just building a wall open to the desert sun. Graphical answers with formulas and facts will be highly appreciated.

Can't see the chat in Runescape

When I talk in game I can see it in the chat box. However I don't see the text appear over my character in the main playing screen. I must have disabled it but I don't know how to re-enable it. Where can I access those options to make my chat appear over my character's head?


Does destroying a collected MELD canister decrease the amount of MELD received?

One of my snipers managed to destroy a MELD container another operative had already opened. The Dr. Vahlen chided me for destroying MELD in that lovely way of hers, yet the UI still counts that canister as collected rather than lost. Can I freely destroy MELD canister after collecting them, or will I lose collected MELD if an open canister is destroyed?

Am I really wearing the Helmet and Vest in Urban Terror?

In Urban Terror, I always choose the Helmet and Kevlar Vest as my gear. But I am not sure if I am actually wearing them. When I get killed, I can see my character on the floor, and he doesn't have on a helmet and vest. Is this normal?


How do I do the parkour (green hoop) mission near the bridge?

I am trying to do Brick 35 listed here - green hoops appear with maybe five seconds between them. Unfortunately, when I jump off the second building and slide down the rope, I move through the ring without the game acknowledging it so it times out instead of activating the next ring. Is this a bug (I'm on Xbox 360)? Is there a known fix? Or am I supposed to be approaching the run some other way?


Seeing all the crafting materials on a recipe in Diablo 3 on console?

I just found the plan for Staff of Herding in Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls on Xbox One, and checking the recipe shows me 3 materials needed:   * Wirt's Bell   * Black Mushroom   * Gibbering Gemstone I found the names of those items from finding the recipe online. So, here's my two questions related to the crafting window:   * Apparenly the recipe requires more than those 3 materials, it also requires Liquid Rainbow and Leoric's Shinbone. **How can I see those materials in the crafting window?** Meaning, how would I know that the recipe requires more than the 3 shown materials if I didn't go looking for the recipe online? The window only shows the 3 first(?) materials.   * **Can I see the names of the materials in the crafting window somewhere?** Assume that I don't have the item so I can't go looking for the item by appearance in my stash, how would I know what to search for? A lot of item databases only has the names of the materials, not their icons, which does not tell me which materials I have and which ones I miss, other than hunting through my stash for all the icons. Again, note that my question is about the console version of Diablo 3, in particular (for me) the Xbox One version.

Options for boosting signal over DSL/live match for Xbox 360

I have DSL and where I live we do not have that choice (I live in a rural area and do not have the option of cable). I have a NETGEAR WN2000RPT wireless extender I use to connect to Xbox Live. The extender tells me if I have restricted internet access though (i.e. red light for restricted NAT or slow internet and green for okay). Currently, I connect to a netgear wireless router and have been for awhile. Until recently, when I changed the router and DSL filter it was restrictive and giving me red lights for the internet connection same as the Xbox 360. Sometimes, the Xbox 360 would be green on the NAT test while the wireless extender was red. So, my question is what can I buy to get the most out of my DSL connection? In addition, what are some suggestions of top Satellite providers or alterative forms of internet connection for rural areas around KY and south if it will not.improve my speed much? Notes about connection: 1. ADSL from what I can gather. 2. ISP AT&T(no choice because ATT owns the road I am on and no other ISP will deal with us). 3. Tried a while back to ask for a phone line replacement for our road because we are 5 minutes from a major highway and AT&T gives us the runaround they will upgrade the line but does nothing. 4. Connection speed: 1.5 mbps.

Stuck on Uncharted 3 chapter 12

Near the end (I think) of chapter 12 when you climb vertically on red and yellow pipes, hiding behind boxes and shooting bad guys, at the top you swing across pipes. On the last one, a guy appears and when I try to swing across I look like I hit an invisible wall and fall down. Is this a glitch? I watched a youtube walkthrough video and you should be able to swing across but I keep falling to my death. Help!

Are gold-making guides for World of Warcraft legit?

So, I'm newer to the game than most, and I'm running incredibly low on gold. I have a bunch of professions leveled up. I'm not entirely sure how to "exploit" them in order to make a ton of gold. One of the professions I do not have is Inscription which seems to be getting a ton of gold now due to Darkmoon Faire trinkets. I know this all depends, amongst other factors, on the economy of the server, but I was hoping that a guide or addon or some sort would be of assistance here. So are the WoW gold making guides out there legit, or am I just dreaming?

When I try to play a multiplayer game, I get the error "The server is not avaliable"?

When I attempt to play a multi-player game in _Splinter Cell: Conviction_ , I get the error "The Splinter Cell: conviction server is not avaliable at this time. Please try again later" on the title screen. I have tried forwarding the ports that Ubisoft's official website says I need to forward in order to play multi-player, but that did not work. I have also tried validating the game files (via steam- I bought the game off Steam.), but nothing has come of that. Also, my game version is 1.4. Can anyone help? Other threads on the internet don't seem to be much help with this issue.

What are Naiji special abilities in Super Meat Boy?

I've just unlocked Naiji (from Acquaria) in Super Meat Boy (PC version, but I believe the platform doesn't matter). What are her special abilities, and how to use them? I've already found that while pressing `Shift` (the run button), she descends very slowly in air. I've also found that she can jump lightning fast, but I still don't understand how to trigger this ability, nor how to control it.


Any reason to fully explore Treasure Map dungeons in DQ9?

I've just reached the point in Dragon Quest IX where I can start exploring the Treasure Map dungeons, and I completed the one that the game gives you as a "starter". It appears that the floors are (semi?) random, and can be fairly large, so I just wanted to check if there was any point in fully exploring each floor, or if I should go down as soon as I find the stairs to the next level. I did run into one blue chest, but the contents of those are never very good, so those aren't particularly exciting. Is there anything more significant to find, or is it best to just reach the boss as quickly as possible?


How to use M21 and SVD sniper rifles in BC2: Vietnam?

Can someone please suggest what is a good strategy and attachments for M21 and SVD rifles as I am really struggling with them. At which range should they be used, where to aim, at which rate to shoot, etc. If I use it as an assault rifle with 4x scope then at middle-close range any regular rifle would outperform it. If I put 12x scope and snipe with it then the only way to get a kill for me is to find someone dumb enough to stand still while I shoot 3 times.

While playing multiplayer, you can pick up a downed opponent from behind and carry them around as a shield. While in this position you can only use your pistol.

Execute command relative to block

Is it possible to execute commands relative to a block? For example, if I have a stone block and I want to execute a particle command at it, how can I do that?

How can I do this? Is this possible? As always, all help is appreciated, thanks!

Is there a way to calculate the Gems requires to fill storage?

(ie. predicting how much it'll cost before storage upgrades are complete)

Lost Planet 2: Camera in splitscreen too small

On the XBox 360 version of Lost Planet 2, each screen in splitscreen co-op mode only takes up a quarter of the screen, with the other quarter being taken up by each player's minimap. Is there any way to change this, or is it an inherent flaw in the game? Does the PC version have this limitation?


Can I remotely control my PS3 with my laptop?

Is there any way that a laptop can be used to control a PS3? Most of my searches have turned up articles aimed in the other direction (using a PS3 controller on a computer), but I've not found anything quite relevant to this. I imagine it could be possible through some sort of WiFi or Ethernet application, but probably the most straightforward way would be over Bluetooth. Is there any software that can do this? I'm particularly looking to be able to use my laptop as a controller to navigate menus and use applications such as Netflix.


Dangers to the Vanilla Nethacker in SLASH'EM

I've been playing Nethack for a little while, and I'd like to try SLASH'EM. I understand there is a lot of new stuff in SLASH'EM - magic, items, monsters, classes, etc. I've also heard that it's considerably harder! What I'm wondering is what unexpected dangers exist in SLASH'EM, but not Nethack - stuff that is different in a way that's liable to kill me without warning. (Also, if there are any new advantages I can abuse - a super-Elbereth or something - that'd be nice to know about too.)

Character Recognition of Villager Moving to Another Town

I know that villagers that move from a friend's town will retain "memories" of their old town for a while and that they stop mentioning the old town after a while.

Killing zombies with weapons in Die2Nite

How do weapons work in Die2Nite? I'm interested in the game mechanics, the manual is a bit terse on that point.   * Do you need APs to kill zombies with them?    * How many zombies can you kill with one?   * How do weapons differ from each other?   * Which weapons are effective, and which should I ignore?   * What are the risks of attacking zombies with weapons?


Is Lightning better than Energy Bolt?

In Nox, there are two Electric spells you can cast:   * Lightning: Call down the blazing wrath of heaven upon the heads of those who oppose you. At higher spell powers, the lightning may chain to multiple targets.   * Energy Bolt: Rake your enemies with a crackling bolt of energy, but take heed! The spell may be broken should you move, take damage, or deplete your Mana. Lightning chains to other targets, while Energy Bolt does not. Is Energy Bolt considered a straight downgrade to Lightning? If they're different, when would I want to use each?


What's the point of the drone's second view mode?

The drone has the option to change it vision type (Ⓧ on the PS3), but it just seem to make all the darker parts lighter, decreasing the contrast and making things harder to see. It doesn't seem to let me see through walls or improve visibility in the open or in dust/snow. What good is it?


How exactly does Elemental Resist work?

Having a bunch of Fire weapons in Frostburn Canyon has made me notice sometimes my fire weapons (even a high powered sniper rifle) deal _absolutely no damage_ or extremely low damage (3-4 points) on enemies that resist fire and sometimes they deal lower but still moderately okay damage. I've hit critical headshots to no damage (or moderate damage) on resisting enemies too. Is elemental resist a % chance? Does it only effect shots that "proc" and hit with an elemental effect? Why are some of my shots getting through while others aren't?

How do I catch enemies in environment traps?

I know that there is a Pulverized bonus for damaging enemies in environmental traps. I found many references to the fact **_that_** the bonus exists - including answers to the referenced question, but I can't seem to find any suggestions on how to actually trigger traps and catch enemies in them. I've played the game for a while and I've still yet to catch a single enemy in a trap. Is there a good strategy for catching enemies in traps? Are some traps just really hard to use or totally luck based? I'm taking it in the teeth a fair bit from the enemy, and I want to dish out some reciprocal pain!


Will original Wii Graphics become HD on Wii U

What is the functionality of a cathedral in the Diablo world?

A cathedral is a Christian church which contains the seat of a bishop in the real world. While there is a bishop in the Diablo universe there doesn't seem to be any kind of organized religion in the Diablo universe (at least in the games). Since there is no organized religion there shouldn't be any bishops or cathedrals in that universe. There is also a priest and a chapel in Wortham in the 1st Act of Diablo 3. But again, no religion is ever mentioned in the games, and no religion is seemed to be fallowed in the Sanctuary world. To whom (or what) is the cathedral dedicated, and what religion is practiced in it?

Will playing offline affect trophy acquisition?

I'm picking up _Demon's Souls_ again so I can play through it before the servers close. However, while trying to plan for a trophy run and somewhat efficient playthrough, everything I've read recommends playing in offline mode in order to make it easier to get Perfect White/Black World Tendencies. If I play offline, will I still be able to get the trophies? I'm wondering how exactly this works if I need to be signed out of PSN in order to play offline. If I don't get them while playing offline, it partially negates trying to go for an optimized run in the first place...

You may provide screenshots or vids along with a short description.


What does it mean that a new substitution jutsu is available?

I've recently picked up Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 (guilty pleasure) and find some of the text prompts the game throws at me rather baffling. Recently, after performing rather well at a specific fight during the "Ultimate Adventure" mode, I received a message that a "new substitution jutsu" is available. To my best knowledge, "substitution jutsu" in the game's context refers to the action you perform when blocking just before an attack lands, avoiding all damage. I only know of one way to perform these using exactly one button on the controller and the move always looks the same. What is this "new substitution jutsu" and how do I access/use it? Is it only relevant in another game mode? Did I misinterpret something the game was trying to tell me?


What are the differences between the PS3 and 360 versions of Crysis 2?

I am looking to buy Crysis 2, but am trying to figure out which system to buy it on. I don't have a fast enough computer (yet), so my choice is between the PS3 and Xbox360. I am looking for an overall judgement since no one factor will probably make up my mind (buying for one system based on graphics alone). Can someone break down any differences between the graphics, single-player, multi-player, known issues, etc.?


What is a "Battle Video" and how do I watch one?

For an example of context, see this forum post. The user references a "battle video" by number (in the format XX-XXXXX-XXXXX).

Do Steam codes need a physical disc?

I have unwittingly bought a second hand game on e-bay that uses a Steam account for activation. I am currently in dispute with the seller as he sold something which I feel is unusable. He has listed a site where he says I can buy a steam code, however, I think, judging by the cost, that this is for the whole package and I wouldn't need the physical disc so this still would mean I have shelled out money for something I didn't need. Could someone confirm this?


What is the chance of a pristine Archaeology solve in Mists?

I just heard about pristine solves, acting as quest items to encourage the archaeology grind. From that link, their summary is: > A new type of artifact is added in Mists of Pandaria--pristine solves. These > solves are enhanced versions of common-quality solves. Completing them will > create a quest item, which can be turned in to the Lorewalkers and displayed > in their museum. **The chance for creating a pristine version of an artifact > instead of a common one is completely random.** Obviously random == "has some percentage chance". Has the chance of a pristine solve been discovered/calculated?


Actions aren't performed when disconnected

On a friend's multiplayer Minecraft server, it seems actions which I have initiated get paused when I'm not connected. For example: if I plant a tree and come back and hour later, the tree will still be a sapling. Also, if I start smelting something in a furnace, it restores to where it was when I log back in after logging out. Does anyone know why this is? The server's still running, so I don't see why it would be like this.


How can I run Dwarf Fortress in text mode on my Linux VPS?

I installed Dwarf Fortress on my Linux VPS to use with dfterm. It's running Ubuntu 10.04. I'm fairly certain I have all the dependencies: I've installed:   * ncurses   * ncursesw   * libsdl   * libsdl-image   * libgtk   * libglu   * libopenal1 I had to turn sound off or it will instantly segfault, and I set the display mode to text. I've made no other changes to the config. However, even before I go near dfterm, it won't run properly. It just displays a blank screen. What could be causing this? Is their a dependency I missed? Is there something else I should have changed in the config? **EDIT:** This has been asked and answered on the Ubuntu StackExchange.


Download Steam games outside of Steam

Recently, while explaining exactly what Steam is and what its benefits are, someone asked me: "But what happens if Steam went bankrupt all of a sudden and you couldn't access the platform anymore?". Which got me thinking what would happen in that case. Do you lose ownership of all your games? Or is there currently already a way to claim games you bought on Steam somewhere else?


CK2 - Can a king be the vassal of another king?

I'm the King of England and have also slowly usurped the title of King of Wales. I've invited a guy to my court who has a claim on the Kingdom of Scotland. I can now press his claim and go to war with Scotland. Question is, when I win the war and this guy becomes King of Scotland, will I actually see any benefit (other than his +100 opinion of me). Will I be his liege and will I as the King of England have expanded my territory to encompass Scotland? Or would this be a pointless war and instead I should invite people with Ducal claims who will swear fealty to me should I press their claim, until I have enough of Scotland to usurp the Kingdom for myself?

What are the best places to horde EV train?

In Gen VI, EV training has become significantly easier thanks to **horde encounters**. Adding Pokérus and Power items, it's possible to raise a specific stat by as much as 60 EVs per battle. **Sweet Scent** always triggers horde encounters unless there is a wheather condition (possibly only in rain, I'm not sure there).   Since EVs can rise so fast with this method, it's now also relevant how far these spots are from each other or from the nearest Pokémon Center, so that the **total time** used to fully EV train one or several Pokémon can be minimized. So now the question is **where the best spots for efficient horde EV training are** in X/Y.   Criteria are:   * The number of different Pokémon that can appear in hordes at the specific spot and their respective EV yields   * If there are mixed hordes at the specified spot, the different Pokémon's EV yields   * Proximity to other spots and to Pokémon Centers to minimize the time to get from spot to spot An ideal spot would have only hordes in which all Pokémon give either +1 or +2 for a specific EV (same for all different hordes in that spot) and be reachable from a Pokémon Center very close to the city entrance.


Would you recommend upgrading shields or armor first?

When playing as Protoss, would you recommend upgrading shields or armor first? I know the attack upgrades are more valuable, but the mechanics of the defense ones are a bit vague. Does the armor upgrade have any effect at all if the units shield is still up?


Can I enter the "restricted area" early in the game?

I generally like to work on side quests before the main quest. So far I've started a couple (Bane's and Zsasz's quests, for instance) that have objectives inside a big red "restricted area" on the map. I don't know what happens if I try to cross this boundary, as so far I haven't had reason to enter it. Is it feasible to try to completely finish these side quests early in the story? Or should I wait until I have access to this "restricted area" later in the game? If I can't finish, is there any benefit to partially completing them now?


When is there scheduled downtime/weekly maintenance?

Other MMOs I've played in the past (Star Wars Galaxies, EverQuest 2, World of Warcraft) had a specific time each week that they took their servers down for maintenance. Does SWTOR have weekly scheduled maintenance periods?


When promoting a hero, how to increase his ability's rank?

Each hero has an ability with 3 ranks. ![Hero's ability](http://i.stack.imgur.com/avneE.jpg) During the promotion phase, you can increase stats by clicking it (on the right side of the screen), but I can't find how to increase the said ability: clicking its icon only opens its description. ![Hero's promotion screen](http://i.stack.imgur.com/luPLE.jpg) Is it normal? Is there anything special to do in order to inscrease the ability?


How does offline mode impact Anno 2070?

Anno 2070 apparently has online and offline modes, and I'm wondering how those modes are different. I found some discussion of what you can't do in offline mode, but having not yet played the game those specifics weren't very helpful for me. Basically I'm wondering about whether the online mode adds legitimate multiplayer-like content/gameplay, and whether offline mode is artificially restricted as a form of DRM. (Ie. am I _punished_ for playing offline, or am I just playing by myself?)


Can you turn off titles in player names? For example if my name is Akbar, I might have the options to add "Captain Akbar" or "Akbar, Black Bisector". When I'm in a warzone, the titles make it difficult for me to match up the player on screen to the badge on the operations frame.


Bug: Companions wandering far from Whiterun + Skjör resurrected

Ok, so I encoutered my first _serious_ bug in Skyrim, and wondered what could have caused it. I am already the Harbinger of the companions, which means Skjör has been dead for a long time now. Njada Stone-arm was my follower, and I used fast travel to go somewhere else (will provide name on departure and arrival location if necessary). Both departure and arrival locations were on the far east of the map, so really far from Whiterun. So I arrived at this place, and my follower was not there. Far in the distance, I saw a mammoth fighting someone. I wanted to check, just in case, and it was actually Aela, Njada, and Skjör fighting the mammoth. Moreover, Skjör was in a dead-like position (eyes closed, arms crossed on chest, standing straight). And, as if it was not enough, he was half in the ground, so only his chest was emerging off the ground, but he was still moving and running after the mammoth anyway (I couldn't figure if he was Basically, I saw Skjör's dead torso sliding off the ground. After that, I lost them, so I tried to fast travel again to get Njada back at my side, but she was not there. And from there, I couldn't find her back. I load my game and tried again, and the same thing happened (Aela and Skjör the crazy torso, Njada following them). So I loaded a previous game and went to do something else, but now I'm worried it might happen again when I fast travel again to the same area. Unfortunately, I was not able to talk to Njada after the fight, so I don't know if she was still my follower or not. Anyway, do anyone have any idea about why this could happen? Is it frequent for Aela to be met at totally random places in the world? Or for Skjor to behave like this? Thanks!


At what level should I start praying to Inconsequentia?

Inconsequentia, the Goddest of Sidequests, can grant quests leading to random artifacts. I've tried her twice on two fresh characters; both times, the quest was about killing a horribly out of depth baddie that was just lurking behind the door and had little trouble disposing of me. When should I pray to Incosequentia?


Where are all the Quick Change stations on Pandora?

Opposite elements in races

Each racetrack has two or more elements. If the racing dragon matches the track's element, it'll have a sight advantage. Is there a disadvantage if the dragon is of the _opposite_ element from the track element? For example, if I use a Blazing Dragon (air, fire) on the Cherry Road track (plant, earth, fire), it will have an advantage on the fire parts, be neutral on the plant parts, but will it be neutral or have a disadvantage on the earth parts, since air is the opposite of earth?


Crit damage in dota 2?

Why does RollerCoaster Tycoon (original) on Windows 7 display a black screen on launch?

I'm currently trying to avoid Windows XP mode since the Windows 7 installation itself is a VM (running on a Mac Mini). Regardless, here's my description of the problem. The game successfully launches, but displays a black screen. You can hear the music play on the title world. I end up using ALT-TAB to switch out of full screen mode so I can quit. I know that once I get the game into windowed mode it'll work fine, however I've tried numerous command line switches to no avail. I have the following compatibility options currently set:   * Compatibility mode: Windows XP SP2 (also have tried Windows 98/ME and Windows 95)   * Disable visual themes (at least required for the save dialog to appear)   * Disable desktop composition   * Run this program as Administrator (otherwise I know the game cannot save) I have also tried (no success):   * Run in 256 colors. I've also switched to the Windows 7 Basic theme and 800x600 resolution.   * Run in 640x480 resolution.   * Disable display scaling on high DPI settings. I've tried the original game, with and without Corkscrew Follies installed, and with and without all known available patches. So I'm looking to get the display working, regardless of method. If there's a command-line switch I can use to force a windowed mode (I've tried `-w`, `-win`, `-window`, `-windowed`) that would be just as fine.


Batman Arkham City doesn't launch on Windows

I've just installed Batman: Arkham City GOTY from Steam for the first time. Immediately after launching the game I'm getting a "has stopped working" crash, with the details "APPCRASH" for "BatmanAC.exe". Does anyone know how to solve this issue? System is a Windows Server on a PC which otherwise matches all the system requirements. Also, I've found this Steam forum post which seems to describe the same problem.

Is there any way to hide the tiles in the new XBOX 360S? The ones like Spotlight, Music Market Place etc. I dug through the settings but counldnt find any. I remember I could hide tiles on the old xbox, I am not sure. There are too many tiles and its too much scrolling and too much confusion.


What are the possible alternate title sequences?

I recently got gold in every Grand Prix race in Mario Kart Wii, and now there are various opening title sequences. Some of the alternate sequences are Mario saying something slightly different, and some feature different characters. What are all of the possible openings? And by title sequence, I mean the screen where Mario says "Mario Kart, Wii!" and it tells you to press the A button to continue.


Do all skins come in all 5 conditions?

Do all skins available in game come in all 5 conditions? For example, the Dual Beretta Demolitions has an awesome Orange color that reminds me of Time Crisis controllers, yet for what it's worth, the Steam Market doesn't have any that are Minimal Wear or Factory New. I was under the assumption that skins came in all 5 conditions, Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. Does this hold true for all other skins, or is this skin just a fluke?


Battlefield cant play Naval strike "YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THIS EXPANSION."

Today(31/3/2014) naval strike for battlefield 4 came out. Origin said it had a new download available, and directly installed it(I have got premium). There also was an update for battlelog(also installed that). Now, when i am trying to join a game that has naval strike maps in it, it will give me an error saying:   REQUIRES ADDITIONAL EXPANSION PACK   BATTLEFIELD 4 - NAVAL STRIKE   YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THIS EXPANSION.   I rebooted my computer twice, re logged in origin and battlelog, but i cant get it to work. Also in my update folder in bf4 there is only Xpack0 and Xpack1. I have searched on Google, and they say(for older expansion packs) that i need to go in regedit and add Installed with value true. Tried Xpack2 and Xpack3 but that didn't help. Can anyone help me?

How does Reputation work in Heroes VI? (Blood and Tears)

In M&M Heroes 6, there seems to be a type of alignement, one side is called blood, and the other is called tears. Am I correct in assuming this is an either/or choice and that you can only be on one side? The spells you take also seems to be affected by this, and my main hereos passive abilities.


Why does the 'favored' rating change from start of game to end of game in Starcraft 2?

Why is it when I start a game and it says the team is 'Favored' or 'Slightly Favored' and then it ends and it is considered even or even my team 'Slightly Favored'? What impacts this? I win where the other team is 'Favored' and I am expecting big points and then it ends and it says 'Even' and I get like 10 points for the win. **EDIT:** Ran some tests today in 4v4:               Start                        End     -----                        ---     Favored Other                Even     Slightly Favored Other       Even     Slightly Favored Other       Even     Even                         Even     Even                         Even     Even                         Even     Slightly Favored Other       Even     Even                         Even     Slightly Favored Other       Slightly Favored Other     Even                         Even     Slightly Favored Me          Slightly Favored Me     Favored Other                Even     Even                         Even      So 5 out of 13 matches, the end weighting did not match the start weighting.

Is cubeworld-game.com official / legal? If so, where to report such things?

While google's first link, https://picroma.com/cubeworld is the official link also provided in the blog http://wollay.blogspot.ch/, that site currently yields 404 not found for me (ah, like minecraft.net in the old times...). Then there's cubeworld-game.com ( _do not edit in as link, since if it's a scam its google rank shouldn't be increased!_ ) which looks super-official and nice done, but there's no shop and the "free" download links all direct to some suspicious site where you are supposed to first download some other "software". So, is that site a legal mirror or some scam? And where to report it if it is a scam?

What happens to caged animals in an abandoned fortress?

My fortress seems to be heading for a tantrum spiral, and I'm not sure there's anything I can do to stop it. I have six Faedogs in my fortress, as well as a golden goose, and I would rather not lose them if the fortress falls. The wiki states that upon reclaiming a fortress, all livestock will be dead. Does this also apply to caged animals?

Does Deus Ex: Human Revolution support a third-person camera on consoles?

I'm one of those people that has developed an inability to play many first- person shooters, but not all. Since a demo doesn't appear to be coming out for Deus Ex: Human Revolution I'm wondering if this game supports a third-person camera on the consoles (PS3/Xbox 360). From what I can tell online it appears that the certain actions result in the camera moving outside of the main character, but I'd like to be sure that's the only time. And since the stealth aspect is being mentioned a lot, and I can't see playing Metal Gear Solid 4 from the first-person perspective ... (I'd ask if anyone who has difficulty playing first-person shooters has tried the game, but I know that's extremely subjective. Heck, I can play BioShock but not Dead Space, Just Cause 2 and most other third-person games, but Red Dead Redemption makes me ill.)


Where are all of the secrets in 'The Shores of Hell'?

I've finished playing through Episode 1 (Knee Deep in the Dead) of The Ultimate Doom whilst finding all of the secret areas, collecting all of the items and killing all the things. I've played through Episode 2 (The Shores of Hell) but not succeeded in finding all of the secret areas. Like each of the DOOM episodes, there are nine levels - eight normal levels and one secret level in each - but I didn't find the entrance to the secret level in the second episode. The nine levels in 'The Shores of Hell' are;   * E2 M1: Deimos Anomaly   * E2 M2: Containment Area   * E2 M3: Refinery   * E2 M4: Deimos Lab   * E2 M5: Command Center   * E2 M6: Halls of the Damned   * E2 M7: Spawning Vats   * E2 M8: Tower of Babel   * E2 M9: ???

How does the Gunzerker / Salvador's Just Got Real skill work?

I just got a Purple Vengeful Beast Class Mod which gives +5 to the Just Got Real skill, among other bonuses. The Just Got Real skill is described as: > It increases damage with all guns the lower your health is. I was wondering how Just Got Real works exactly and have the following questions:   * Does it still give a damage bonus even if I'm at full health? If yes, then by what percentage of the maximum damage bonus is this?   * Does it work when I'm in FFYL (Fight For Your Life), where I have zero health?   * Does anyone know how its damage bonus is computed? What percentage of the maximum damage bonus will I get depending on my remaining health?


Are there any blocks that don't damage your tools?

How much larger is a Lightning Creeper's explosion radius compared to a regular Creeper?

With the advent of weather in 1.5, lightning strikes during rainstorms can set fire to trees, frankenstein pigs to zombie pigmen, and perhaps most insidiously of all, super-charge Creepers with blue electricity. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/P77br.png) The minecraft wiki states that a supercharged creeper has a "stronger" explosion, and can kill the player much more easily. While "stronger" is unquestionable in meaning for blast resistance and raw damage, I was wondering if the explosion radius is actually increased as well? How large is the explosion radius compared to that of a regular creeper? *Note: anecdotal evidence may not be sufficient alone, as it may be difficult to determine "bigger craters because of more blast power" and "bigger craters because the blast power covers a larger area". It could even be both at once.


Are there any restrictions in the career when you bought a starter pack?

So I bought the Amarr Explorer Starter Pack on Eve Online through Steam due to being only $4. But I am far more interested in being a bounty hunter. So I wonder if I actually need to stay as an explorer now/am I going to find it harder if I decide the switch to a bounty hunter?


BuildCraft waterproof pipes and water/oil pumping, does liquid get lost?

I found an oil well the other day and have now successfully pumped it dry into a ton of tanks, some 450 tank blocks, spread over 25 high tank towers. Now I want to refine it. The question is, do I have to empty each tank at a time, to avoid loosing liquid? All the tanks are placed next to each other, and let's say I attach a wooden pipe to each, with a running redstone engine above, and then hook everything together into one long pipe network ending up in the refinery. Obviously the refinery will not be able to refine quick enough that all that oil will flow at the same speed from each tank as it would if I was emptying just one tank, so the pipes will be full pretty quick. Will the pumps stop drawing oil from the tanks when this happens, so that I can just set it all up and forget about it, assuming I create enough tanks to hold all the fuel that is. Or do I have to "micromanage" it by emptying out one oil tank at a time, to avoid filling the pipes and then losing liquid?


What is the best way to make a dog remember its name?

How can I tell which weapon is rare in Mass Effect 3?

In Mass Effect 3 multiplayer store, you get to purchase various packs at different prices. For instance, the Spectre Pack gives you at least one Rare item out of the 5 random items that you receive.

Essentially if I want a specific weapon, knowing its rarity allows me to decide which pack to stick to buying.

Do Iron Golems Regenerate Health?

My player-created NPC village just spawned an Iron Golem, and my pal Endy the Enderman decided to teleport right in to introduce himself (Unlucky for Endy). I chose to watch the battle rather than get involved, and the Iron Golem took a few hits in the process. It won, but I'm wondering whether it regenerates health, or whether the next hit from a mob is going to down it and leave my poor villagers defenceless until another spawns. So, do Iron Golems regain health over time? Or Is it possible to "repair" them at least?


Does the "Magic 2013 Gold Deck Bundle" actually contain any decks?

From the sound of it, I would assume the "deck bundle" gives you access to all the decks. However, according to this page, the only contents of the deck pack are deck **keys** , and according to this page, if you buy a deck **key** for a deck that you don't already own, you don't get anything. So, if I don't already own all the decks, will the deck pack actually give me anything?


How important is my pet and the fish I feed him?

Ok, so I have this cute pet that I picked. It attacks things and I can use fish to make it uber. The problem I have is that I don't seem to care very much about him, except that his trips to town are very convenient. What I want to know, in hopes that I will find new appreciation for my pet, is how important he really is to my survival and progress. Here's the question: **Assuming I give him the best collar and tags I can find, how much of a difference can fish really make?** I have searched for questions regarding the effects of various fish and therefore understand their various effects, but they don't seem significant. As a result, I seldom bother to feed fish to my pet. I've even assigned a hotkey to fish feeding, but still seldom bother. The problem is probably that I do not know what percentage of my DPS is generated by my pet, and therefore do not account for him whatsoever. (He is useful but unaccountable.)

What are some tactics to fortify villages and their population against outside attack?

I recently discovered my homely village has been ransacked by a marauding horde of zombies. They managed to get inside one of my large apartment houses and wiped out all but two (!) of the village population.

As the population is (hopefully, albeit slowly) rebuilt, what more can I do to fortify my village against outside attack?


How do I keep a summoned EnderDragon in a cage?

I did /Summon in minecraft and I summoned an ender dragon. My friend and I thought it would be cool if we built a cage for the ender dragon. We build a huge cage out of end stone, obsidian and bedrock. We summoned the ender dragon in the cage, and it could fly right out of the cage. mobGriefing was off, and we used blocks that the ender dragon couldn't destroy. Is there any way we can keep him from flying out of a cage? The cage was definitely big enough for at least 3 ender dragons.

Is there any logical reason for enemy trainers to use Magikarp?

I wonder why in single player mode Pokemon trainers (some of them even _exclusively_ ) use Magikarp that only knows how to perform Splash. According to this question Splash never even does real damage, unless it's out of PP which takes way too many turns to be a feasible tactic, but who knows maybe that is actually what they're going for? I kind of get that fishermen could employ this tactic, as they probably have a lot of patience fishing their whole life, but why would the real trainers try to… Are they leeching off their opponent's PP this way? Is there any explanation why a trainer in single player mode would fight somebody with Magikarps that don't know any other moves than Splash?

Effective placement of claymores in BF3

Recently i've been trying to use claymores but I never seem to be able to position them in a way that makes them effective. I'm aware that you can avoid them by crouching or going prone but in the situations where i've used them, the other team seems to just freely walk into them without triggering them. There was one instance where one was planted several feet from the sliding door inside the Metro near the Cafe entrance and someone actually scaled over it like it was a fence? If I want to protect a doorway, how many approx feet in distance should the claymore be placed to effectively cover any attempt to enter the doorway?


Why is everyone trying to ram me?

So I was trying to steal a muscle car during one of the side-missions available through Saintsbook, but while driving the car back to the chop shop something rather peculiar happened. Each and every car on the road veered into my path just as I was about to pass it, making it amazingly difficult for me to reach my destination. I've never seen this happen before, and I was wondering what is it that causes this behavior. I'd certainly like to avoid triggering this in the future.

Do gamepads always deteriorate from extended disuse and is there anything to be done about it?

I've owned two USB gamepads for PC now. The first was some noname pad I got really cheap in a supermarket. The second was (and is) Logitech Rumblepad 2. In both cases I've had the same problem: When I first bought the gamepad I played with it and for a while all was well. Then I moved on to other games and the gamepad was put away in a drawer. After a year or two I came again upon a game which played better on the gamepad. But now the joysticks seem to have heavily deteriorated. They are wildly inaccurate and sometimes even jump around randomly without any action from myself. Calibration makes things a bit better, but it can do only so much to compensate, and the end result is still unsatisfactory. Is this inevitable? Are gamepads supposed to be changed every two years? Or perhaps I should have stored them in some special way? Is there anything that can be done now perhaps?

Where is the alleyway?

I know I found the alleyway by accident the first time I was in Traverse Town, but now that I need to find it in order to find the underground cavern where Leon is training, I can't find it.
