Minecraft moon changes?

So i was playing on a server of my on when i noticed one night a moon with a square in the middle of it appeared for some reason. I know in Terraria they had different Moon Phases that would cause different events. also note that any other night on my server and i get a normal moon. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tfthZ.png) Does this type of moon mean anything? or do anything to the gameplay?

Glitched Morticulturist Achievement help?

I have **all** of Crazy Dave's plants. I have beaten Adventure mode countless times, unlocked everything (except Lucky Spin and the Zen Garden achievement. but I'm close!) and I have more money than I know what to do with. When I bought the Imitator, I thought I was going to be set. But the Morticulturist achievement is still not there. This is the iPod Touch version.


How to keep those animals out of my farm?

Every time that I want to start a farm for wheat, melons or sugar cane. Even with fence twice as high around it, animals seems to spawn on it and destroy my crops. Since melon seed are kinda rare, it's annoying to lose all my melon crops because a chicken, sheep or cow step on it. How can we make a farm so the animals won't step on your crops?

How do you build an End portal in the Nether?

In creative mode, how can you build an End portal in the Nether? Placing End portal frames in the usual configuration and putting eyes of Ender in them doesn't have any result. The frames and eyes are there, but no portal forms.


What is 'Crushed Bones'?

While playing with a mace based character, I've noticed the proc "Crushed Bones" when hitting a monster with mace skill at level 3. On the wiki for mace skill there is no mention of this proc. While there is a page on crushed bones, I don't see that skill in any of my skills. I am currently at skils:   * Macery 4 (though I saw it at 3 skill 3)   * Bezerker Rage 1   * Flash-shaping 1   * Mathematigic 1   * Magic Training 1   * Smithing 3   * Emomancy 1 (Its a pure random skill set) Am I just seeing things? or am not seeing something obvious? or is the wiki lacking (I'd rather not be editing the wiki based on my suppositions alone)?


Multiclass penalty in Neverwinter Nights?

I have a human fighter who is level 4. I noticed there were quite a bit of big chests that I was passing up due to not being able to pick locks. So I put 1 level into rogue and all points into unlock. So now I'm a level 3 fighter and a level 1 rogue. Is this going to cause me a multiclass penalty, and if so is that a big deal?


How do I get to The Bridge?

I am in Halloweentown, and the walkthrough I am using tells me that I am supposed to go to the Bridge area next, but it is incredibly vague on the directions of how I actually get there. I am lost and wandering around and beating on Heartless, and I would really like to get to where I need to go. How do I get to the Bridge?


Consistently Unable To Connect To Minecraft (Login, Local LAN Server)

My kids have recently started enjoying Minecraft Pocket Edition, and it's a lot of fun to play with them. Of course, being hosted on a phone, the world isn't exactly persistent. We pretty much have a day or two to build things and then we start over. So I figured I'd look into setting up a proper local Minecraft server that we can play from actual computers (it's my understanding Pocket Edition can't use a proper server). Understand that I have every intention of _buying_ Minecraft, provided that it actually works... The first thing I did was set up a server on my Linux box. Following the wiki, I set up a server on my Linux box (and ended up using one of the control scripts available as well). All appeared to be working well from that end, but that's just on the command line so far. On my Mac I've downloaded Minecraft 1.5.1. When launching, it asked me for a login. So I registered an account. However, even though I can login just fine on the website, the game client always rejects the login. After a while (most of the day), the "Play Offline" option became available anyway. So, on my Mac at least, I'm still able to play offline and successfully connect to the LAN server and play the game. So I went about trying the same thing on a couple of Windows PCs. (One running XP, one running 7, one running 8.) All of them exhibit the same "Login Failed" error consistently. One of them, after a while, allowed me to "Play Offline." I can play single-player, but attempting to connect to the LAN server results in a Java socket exception. The other two PCs I only began testing recently, so the "after a while" for "Play Offline" hasn't elapsed yet. I've found a lot of discussions online (forums, YouTube videos, etc.) which address various underlying causes of the failed login. Some claim that all one needs to do is change one's password on the website, but that didn't make a difference in my case. Others suggest that it's a firewall problem, but I don't believe that to be the case this time either. It happens on both Windows and Mac here, and I can confirm that the Windows box used for initial testing inside my LAN has the Windows Firewall disabled entirely. This seems to be an awful lot of trouble for what is a massively popular game. Is this normal? So, to summarize, my questions are:   1. Why does my login always fail?   2. How can I resolve that socket exception? Ultimately I'm just looking to have a successful end-to-end run of the game. Again, I'll gladly buy it if it actually works for me. (Buying a copy for my daughter would make for a great reward for recent good behavior on her part, actually.)

Problem using Kinect for chat

Is there any order to the Lorule dungeons?

I just got to Lorule and have no idea where to go. Previous games had a kind of metroidvania type system where the item from one dungeon unlocked the next. Now that I can rent/buy most of the items, I'm not sure where to start. I made it into one dungeon, but it seemed like I needed some specific equipment to purges part the entrance and nothing I had aces to seemed to work. Is there any sort of order to the dungeons in this game?

Is there a way to attack-move in Age of Empires II: HD?

I've just bought Age of Empires II: HD, and have been running through the tutorial missions to re-skill up (it's been a while since I played the original). On the last map of the tutorial I built up a sizeable army and told them to move toward the enemy base, however I couldn't figure out how to tell them to attack-move, i.e. attack any enemy on the path to where I clicked. I've been through the keybinds, but I haven't seen anything. Is there a way to attack-move in AoE2:HD?

How do I complete the first Thieves Guild quest?

I am currently in the city of Riften in Skyrim. I'm working on the quest **A Chance Encounter** where I've been asked to steal Madesi's ring out of the locked box in her merchant's stall. This quest initiates contact with the Thieve's Guild so it's important that I finish it. I'm able to get behind the stall and pick the lock without being detected. When it comes to actually stealing the ring, I'm totally stumped. Even while sneaking, I can't seem to get out of sight when I go in front of the box. There is not looting option when I try and take it from behind. Here's a view of the stall: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/z2Frk.jpg) I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. Short of chugging an invisibility potion, is there any way to nab this ring without getting caught? I'm sure I'm missing something.


Minecraft VPN server problem

I can make my own server and connect to it with ease, and my friend can do so likewise. However, I would like to join my friends server, but I cannot connect to his server but he can. If I have my server up and running while I try to connect to his, then I will be joining my own multiserver instead. But if he has his server running and joins mine, then there is no problem. And when I use the direct connect with his VPN IP it just ends up in a connection timed out. It seems like I can only recognize and join my own server no matter what I do. But my friend has none of these problems. Anyone got some tips?


Are there any missable items/Trinity Marks?

I'm replaying Kingdom Hearts for the first time in about 8 years--I'm also playing the Final Mix version for the first time (from Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix). I can vaguely recall that there were a couple of worlds that had the possibility of missing some Trinity Marks and items. Is there a complete list as to what items and Trinity Marks can be missed in Final Mix?

Desmond's Family Tree Assassins Creed

Okay, so i read somewhere (cannot find the link at the moment) that Altair, Ezio and the Kenways (including Connor) are not directly related to each other except through Desmond. Is there any family tree or something to show how he is related to them? And if the Kenways are on Desmonds fathers side, could he not have gone in the animus as well in Assassins Creed 3?


Which crew skills should I pick as a F2P player limited to 2 of 3?

I am a newbie to The Old Republic. Right now I am a Preferred Status player, so I have a total of 2 crew skills for selection. I am wondering what should I learn. I heard that for crafting skills, if I get only two crew skills (one for gathering and one for crafting) I will never be able to make blue items. So I would like to ask for some suggestions on crew skills picking. Should I pick two gathering skills or one gathering skill and one mission skill, then sell those materials on galactic trading network for credit? Or one gathering and one crafting skill, then buy the other crafting materials on the Galactic Trade Network?

How is score calculated in Google's 15th Anniversary Doodle?

I just managed to make 183 points (candies) in the doodle, and now I'm trying to reproduce that score on my computer. What is the best way to hit the piñata in order to have more candies? Is there any random calculation involved? I just tried to reproduce the same that I did to make that 183 score. Usually I try to hit the piñata with the end of the stick. At first when it balance to the right, and then when it comes to me.


How do I regain neutrality with Stormcloaks and Imperials?

I haven’t taken any sides as far as I know, but the Stormcloaks started calling me "unblooded" and the Imperials won’t let me anywhere near their camps. I’ve never hit a member of either faction as far as I know. I do help either if they are in trouble with bandits or bears or such, but never when fighting each other - I just move away fearful I might be drawn into taking sides. Is there a console command to set me back as neutral with both factions?


How can I get on the tunnel roof by MCOM A on Grand Bazaar Rush?

I've recently played a number of games of Rush on Grand Bazaar and when attacking I manage to run along the left tunnel, go to arm the MCOM and then get mowed down by people camping above the tunnel exit (circled below). ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/B3K0v.png) Is this hack to get up there or is there a legitamite way of doing so? Once one person gets up there his squadmates can spawn on him and put a beacon down so they don't have to worry about getting up there again.


Why does my nether portal reappear in a random area?

Every time I return to the over world through the nether portal, I appear at a random area in the world instead of spawning in the portal I originally used. The coordinates of those places where I end up have no pattern whatsoever. **Is there a way to fix this issue? Or do I have to delete the world entirely?** I also did not install any mods, texture packs and this is a Single player world updated to the newest version of Minecraft up to this point in time. In addition, the coordinates in which these portals appear are completely random and ever time I leave the nther, the portal spawns me in some other place.


How do I progress past the initial tier of gear/crafting in Terraria?

I've been playing Terraria for a few hours. I've got the basics understood - I've built houses for NPCs, explored, mined resources, etc. At this point I've got a gold Broadsword and some Copper armor. I keep reading about cool stuff on the Terraria wiki, but nearly all of it comes with caveats like "you'd better have a full set of <ridiculous armor> before you try this!" My question is: what do I do now? I can mine more gold/silver/iron, but that won't improve my gear by much. I'd like to find a Floating Island, but I have no easy way to fly or find them short of using a mapping tool. I'd like to check out the Dungeon in my world, but there's no way I'll be able to defeat its boss with my current gear. I'm just not sure what exactly my next move(s) should be to progress and get my character to the point where I **can** explore these advanced areas. Any tips?


What effect causes a green vortex on the ground?

While fighting a large group of enemies in Act 2 Normal, some of them used an ability that created a circle on the ground, with a sort of green, swirling vortex pattern in it. I didn't get a screenshot before they disappeared, and I haven't seen this effect since. My first thought was "green = poison", but it didn't seem like I took any damage from standing in them. What is this effect? Is it unique to a particular monster type? Or a random elite monster ability?


How long do defend quests last?

I played a round of Dominion last night and noticed two quests that came up for our team. One of them was for capturing a point, and the other was for defending another point. Our team wasn't doing too well at capturing the required point so I decided to help out with the defense point. We defended it for a good five minutes or so, repelling several enemy attack waves. Alas, in the end the enemy managed to capture it. My question is, how long do you need to defend a point in order to complete the actual quest? There doesn't appear to be any kind of explicit indicator for this in the game. Capturing a point is pretty simple, once you capture the point, you complete the quest. But defending something is different, how do you know when you're actually "done" defending? I can't imagine it's indefinitely, because what would be the point of the bonus you would receive for the quest?


How can I get more Cubits without buying them?

Can I gift games from my library?

I understand that once a game is in the library it cannot be removed, only hidden. My question is, can I gift an uninstalled copy of a game to a friend? I understand that this may be impossible due to legal issues, and that once a game is in the library it stays.


Are there guides on how to build arcade games for StarCraft 2?

I am interested in building a mini-game and figure StarCraft 2's arcade might be a fun way to get started. Some quick Googling has not turned up any any tutorials on where to get started. I know I can use the included map editor, but are there any introductory tutorials to creating StarCraft 2 arcade games available?


Why is my coal power plant not receiving coal?

I am building an industrial city that has a coal power plant, an advanced coal mine, an ore mine, a smelting plant and a trade port to store any excess materials in. My power levels have just gone critical on account of my coal power plant running out of coal; ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BIxzC.jpg) (Yes I know the power has gone off _now_ ) How can this happen? Why is my coal power plant not receiving coal from my coal mine even though it is currently _full_?


Do Tallboys count as found bodies, and how do I hide them if so?

I encountered Tallboys on Lady Boyle's Last Party, blink-jumped behind them and assassinated them, making the frame drop to the ground. I could not, however, find any body to hide left amongst the rubble. Also, as I dropped back down to the ground, I fell on a guardsman, and assassinated him. His body still remained, so I was very confused by this. Which leads me to the question, do tallboys count as found bodies, and if so, how do you hide them? UPDATE: Apparently the body would disappear with Shadow Kill, but then does the wreckage of the tall boy count for chaos if found?


How do I enable NTSC filters / shaders + scanlines in higan?

I've tried both the ZSNES and the Snes9x SNES emulators to play SNES ROMs, and I've always preferred enabling their built-in NTSC filter (RGB) and scanlines. I'm looking to do the same for the higan emulator. So I searched and found these shaders (quark-shaders). While some of its shaders work fine in higan, selecting 'NTSC' gives me a black screen, with the sound still playing, on both windowed and full-screen modes. I'm using higan v094, 64-bit, higan-performance.exe on Windows 7, 64-bit. My GPU is an AMD HD 6750 and my LCD monitor's native resolution is 1366 x 768.

Steam won't allow Black Ops 2 to be downloaded/installed to a separate drive

I just bought Black Ops II on Steam, but I'm having trouble at this point. I saw a similar post on this website about Modern Warfare 3 (I'm unable to specify which Steam library I want to install MW3 to) where the option to install to a separate drive ceased to appear, but the selected answer (creating a symbolic link to the preferred drive) didn't work for me. I did attempt to change the command to fit my situation (C: being my SSD, D: being my HDD): mklink /D "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\Call of Duty Black Ops II\" "D:\SteamLibrary\Call of Duty Black Ops II\" And I then tried installing Black Ops II from Steam, but it still recognized that there wasn't enough space on my SSD and wouldn't install it. I'm quite at a loss about what to do now. Keep in mind that my HDD is already completely set up as a separate drive, and many of my Steam games are already installed to it.


How would a gold farming company get my account and password?

A couple of years ago, I got bored of wandering around aimlessly in WoW and cancelled my account. This morning, I got an e-mail saying my account had be been banned. Reason given: > Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy This was a surprise to me; especially when I discovered it was a legitimate email from Blizzard. I logged in to Battlenet (I haven't purchased Cataclysm) and it turns out that my account was active (e.g. trial) and also that it was indeed banned. Because of the reason I was banned, I have to assume it was one of those gold spammers that got into my account. I've got my account status resolved and my characters restored. But I have a couple of questions for the aftermath:   1. I guard all of my account information very closely (even my less-important MMORPG info) and I don't fall for phishing e-mails. What is the most popular way these "companies" get my login info?    2. Hacking into someone else's e-mail is a crime. Is hacking into someone's battlenet account a crime as well? If Blizzard coughed up the name of the company who stole my info, could I, in theory, go after them legally? I know question two is farfetched...but I'm just curious. After being on the net for over 18 years, I'm thankful that the first time I got hacked was over something innocuous, but it still stings. * * * _**UPDATE_** I updated my support ticket asking for more information and this is the reply I received: > Greetings! > > Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding your account. > > After reading your petition and taking a further look at your account, it > appears that the compromise issue first started on 9/10/2011. Someone > unauthorized to access your account logged in and damaged it. Unfortunately, > we are unable to provide any specific information relating to the party > responsible for the compromise issue. While it may not be possible to know > exactly how the compromise happened, I would however highly recommend using > the information on our Account Security Checklist found here > http://us.battle.net/security/checklist.html to address every possible > source of entry in the future. Other than their Authenticator, that security checklist covers the basic stuff you'd see from any company explaining basic internet security. (something I'm very familiar with). IMHO, it is possible to discover how the compromise happened, but I doubt Blizzard wants to join me on my personal crusade :P I would like to believe that somehow their databases got hacked and/or some rogue employee at Blizzard sold e-mail addresses for cancelled accounts to a gold farm. But who knows?!? Regardless, I'm updating my passwords just to make sure accounts with more sensitive information are not compromised.


How to move my base in Minecraft

I live in a crappy area with no cows, sheep, villages, or anything else particularly useful. Problem is, I've been based there for a while. I have two houses (one with a mine shaft underneath it) and have chests filled with precious items. In addition, I have no idea where I'm planning on going. What's the best way for me to pack up and leave?


Does the underground ruin have any shortcuts?

Since the Caedeus quest is a repel quest his health is retained between quests. When I start a quest with him already wounded he starts in Area 3, forcing me to swim all the way there. It's both annoying and time consuming (~4 minutes). Are there any shortcuts in the ruins I can take to reduce the swim time?


Why won't zombie villager kid take the golden apple?

I succesfully transformed a zombie villager kid into normal kid. However, sunce my first success, any further attempts fail. What I do: with an armor on (or with care) I make a zombie kid follow me to a safe place, where I splash it with potion. When I (try to) give it an apple. If I succeded, color of bubbles aroud zombie changed. But with the last 3 zombies I've found, I have that problem that clicking them with a golden apple has totally no effect - the eating animation attempts to start instead. ## About baby zombies If you didn't read wiki, here are some important facts:   * Zombie kid can spawn anywhere in the overworld given sufficient light conditions   * Zombie kid can also spawn from dead baby villager   * They can be cured the same way adult zombie villagers are being cured   * They can climb ladders, but they didn't seem to be able to climb vines ## Notes:   1. ~~There is no ( **NO!** ) difference between zombie kid that has naturally spawned and zombie kid that has risen from dead villager kid.~~ Read the wiki! (yeah, read it anyway)   2. Abovementioned behavior may be a result of a **bug**. However, I'm still curious if someone else had the same problem.


Is there any difference between weapons in Cursed Crusade?

I've been watching LoadingReadyRun's playthrough of Cursed Crusade, and they can't tell any difference between the weapons they are constantly picking up, for example a 'Balanced Mace' vs a 'Barbarian Mace' or a 'Long Gladius' vs a 'Ceremonial Sword'. I've tried the usual google search terms, but can't seem to find a list of weapons. Are they all just renames of the same stats, or is there actually a difference in terms of effectiveness?

What stats do you need to succeed as a Barbarian in Inferno past Act 1?

I have just entered Act 2 Inferno, and I'm having a lot of trouble progressing. Everything I do ends up with me dying, and leads me to believe I may be under-geared. What stats should I be focusing on, and how much of each do I need? I'm looking specifically in regards to soloing, but if there are differences when teaming, please note that as well. Also, if later acts are different and should be focusing on different stats, or require more of the same stats, please specify the differences and how much is needed for those, too.


Do attack speed/movement debuff items draw turret aggro when their passive is triggered by an enemy champion?

So I know the question is a bit subjective however it makes sense soon. So here is a small example: So we're about to close the game and I am taking down the enemy top lane's turret, while my team takes down mid. The enemy Pantheon shows up and I ignore him to focus the turret. I do not have any aura items, only my **Warden's mail**. There were other minions ahead of me all attacking the turret at this time as well. Pantheon uses his `Q` `W` `E` combo and it does no damage so I keep ignoring him. Now **suddenly the turret starts attacking me** , so I kill him then back off. Now I was not really paying attention to him because of how little damage he was doing, so I am not sure if he used a basic attack, which would have slowed his attack speed due to Warden's Mail. * * * My question is do debuffing items like **Warden's Mail** and **Randuin's Omen** that are triggered by the enemy cause towers to aggro you when their passive effect is activated? * * * After reviewing the replay I noticed that pantheon's e Had cleared the melee minions.


How do I earn credits to teach Chop new tricks?

In _iFruit's Chop the Dog_ , the Grand Theft Auto V companion application, what are the different ways to quickly earn credits to teach Chop new tricks? Playing the various mini-games doesn't appear to be awarding any credits, and right now, waiting only seems to earn credits very slowly. Since you have to also spend credits to keep Chop happy and fed, I assume I must be missing some way to earn credits in large amounts.


Skyrim Taste of Death Quest bug - Eola keeps attacking me!

So, I've been replaying Skyrim and got up to the Taste of Death (the cannibal one) and have come across a strange bug. First time I played through, I cleared the cave without Eola but when it went to the next objective to speak to her, she kept atacking me! I managed to calm her with spells and got the next objected the kill the priest in Markarth, however, his body had already moved to the cave without me talking to him. Once again, when inside the cave, Eola attacked me and I couldn't search or feed from the priest's body. Anyone know a fix to this problem?

How long do I have to play Grand Theft Auto V to unlock all of San Andreas?

I just got an e-mail saying that my GTAV has arrived at my house (I'm in New Zealand, so it's Tuesday morning). So in anticipation of happily wasting hundreds of hours of my life I'm going to pre-emptively ask this question. Every other GTA game has locked out sections of the game map until you advance to a certain part of the story. There are also generally tutorial style missions that need to be completed. I just want to be able to get out and explore all of San Andreas (preferably by dirt bike and mountain bike) so can someone who's faster than me let me know how much gameplay is required to gain access to the entire game map?


How to beat Aquaria's race?

The full title should have been, "How to complete Aquaria's circuit in less than 30 seconds", but that would have been unnecessarily spoilery. I've found the race circuit in Aquaria. I got:   1. 2:07 in beast form (1st attempt, with some time lost understanding what was going on)   2. 1:56 in fish form (2nd attempt, with some time lost bumping into things)   3. 2:34 with seahorses (3rd try, with a lot of time lost starting to ride a seahorse to begin with, then getting through the statues right before the end)   4. 1:41 in fish form (4th try, now without bumping into almost anything) It seems to be pointless fun, but a rock near the start of the circuit reads, "1:30" -- so maybe there _is_ a point after all. Since you must run three laps, that means you must complete each lap in 30 seconds. How do you beat that time? (Please note, I'm not asking what the reward would be.) I have access to the song, energy, beast, nature, sun and fish forms. Li is by my side.


Reset your weapons for a specific new play

I already played this game, and now I have all the weapons and a lot of heads. Sometimes I want to play the history again with a new friend, but I want to keep the fun and mechanics of the first time, so having to play the levels one by one to unlock the next one and having to unlock weapons progressively. On the other hand, I don't want to lose all my progress. Is that possible?


How to make villagers spread around

I am planning on creating a village, but I am wondering if I can influence them to spread around a little bit more. Currently, I have a small temporary village set up, where I have 4 houses and about 10 villagers. All the 10 villagers always cramp around in 1 single house. How can I make it so they use up more houses? Is this intentional or a bug/glitch?


How long does it take for the Curiosity cube to get updated? Is there more than one cube?

In the new Android/iOS app/game/experiment called Curiosity, how long does it take for the cube to update? I did a ton of work in one section of the cube and I carved in my initials. Then I got on my wife's Android device, to see if I could see my work on another device. I couldn't find my stuff. In fact, it looks like an entirely different cube --- there was absolutely nothing in any area that looked remotely like what it looked like on my device. So I thought maybe it would take a while for my work to get updated. So we waited an entire day, and revisited the cube on both devices. Once again nothing looked similar at all. We zoomed into the exact same location, and waited for a few minutes in case it needed to catch up or something. Indeed, after a few minutes the cube DID refresh (bonus question: how long does the in-game refresh take to happen after you start the app?), but it was entirely different for both devices. I already considered and checked to make sure that we were really looking at the same side of the cube, in the same location. We checked several times over the course of a couple of days, and the only conclusions I can come to are that either, A) the game is lying, and just randomly making it appear that the cube is being chipped away at by other people, or B) there is more than one cube. What's the deal? I'm already aware that they have been having issues (coins being lost, etc.), but I have not seen anything regarding what I'm talking about.


Minimize Portal 2 diskusage

Portal 2 uses 12 GB on my disk if I install it via Steam. I only have a 60GB SSD in my laptop. If I only want to play Multiplayer, which files can I safely delete, so the game will still run? the .vpk files are the largest part of the game, and I tested to move some files and found out, that the game starts, if I remove these files in `\SteamApps\common\Portal 2\portal2\`: `pak01_009.vpk pak01_013.vpk pak01_014.vpk, pak01_015.vpk, pak01_017.vpk, pak01_018.vpk, pak01_019.vpk, pak01_020.vpk and pak01_022.vpk` (That frees up already 2GB) Which other files are not needed to play Multiplayer?


Bioshock crashes on start up or fails to play in-game sound

_Disclaimer: There is arelated question, describing missing in-game sound. This is about the game crashing on start up and starting only with the `-nosound` flag (obviously deactivating sound output)._ When Bioshock is started on Windows 7 (Steam version), it shows a splash screen with the Bioshock logo and then crashes. If one passes the `-nosound` flag to the game it manages to start and play music in the menu, but (obviously) does not play _any_ sounds in-game. Various internet-sites propose different tweaks but none work.


Cheat codes won't work in Grand Theft Auto 3

How to find a End Portal on XBOX 360

I am currently helping someone find their End Portal on their world with the latest updates on the 360 console. We used the Eye of Ender and it did lead us to a big stronghold with a big library, some stairways, silverfish blocks and a bunch of hallways. We consulted YouTube and the videos we watched confirmed what we should be looking for but we still haven't found the portal. Any suggestions?


100% Bonus to Gold Find

With the release of Patch 2.1.0 for Diablo III and Reaper of Souls, Blizzard also provided a Community Buff: > To celebrate the arrival of this major content update, all players [...] > will not only receive a +100% bonus to Gold Find [...] (As with our previous > buff, please note that the Gold Find bonus will stack multiplicatively with > existing bonuses including those provided by items and Paragon points.) What does "stack multiplicatively" mean here? If I currently have 25% increased Gold Find, this buff make it 50% (100% more), rather than 125%?


Does planting seeds with friends benefit me in any way?

I noticed today that I can talk to friends in the Shopping Centre (or whatever it is called) and they will offer to plant seeds with me. Does that benefit me or my plants in any way?


Can't get to Three Horns - Divide

After working through Best Minion Ever in Ultimate Vault Hunter mode, which turned out to be much more of a beat-down than I was prepared for, I decided to call it quits for the night. Almost immediately after arriving at Three Horns - Divide, I quit the game and turned off the console (in that order; I'm fairly confident I didn't skip quitting, as I almost never turn off the console while a game is running). After re-starting the game though, I found myself in Liar's Berg again. Checking the Fast Travel station, I couldn't find any links to Three Horns. The only links I saw were (in no particular order):   * Southern Shelf   * Claptrap's Place   * Oasis   * Badass Crater of Badassitude   * Unassuming Docks   * Hunter's Grotto   * The Raid on Digistruct Peak So, at this point, I thought maybe my only choice to get to Three Horns was to run through and board Claptrap's ship again. I rushed across the map, only killing enemies when it was _absolutely necessary_ to open a gate or something, and boarded Flynt's ship. Several respawns, and hundreds of thousands of in-game dollars, later Flynt and his posse were dead. Then I went on to find that Claptrap's ship wasn't even there! Beyond that, I ran through all of Claptrap's stops on the map to double check and sure enough couldn't find hide nor hair of him. Sir Hammerlock was still wandering around Liar's Berg but, other than the absence of Claptrap's ship and a location on the Fast Travel system, there were no indicators anywhere that there should be anything preventing me from moving on. I've tried reloading the game, and hopping back to Claptrap's Place, in hopes of refreshing the Fast Travel system but I've had no luck with that either. Is this a known bug in the game? Is there a workaround for this, that doesn't require me luckily finding someone on multiplayer that just happens to be heading in my direction?


Forbidden Legend Quest: Gauldur is immobile

Having bit of a trouble completing "Forbidden Legend" quest. I'm at the forging of amulet part. After having fought the ghost of three brothers, Gauldur's ghost shows up. However, it doesn't do anything, just stands there. If I understand correctly, Gauldur is supposed to forge the amulet for me. But he doesn't. I've done the sequence 3 times, however, everytime, the ghost just stands there. Has anyone run into this? What was the fix? I'm playing on a PC.


Do random treasure points in fractured dimensions count towards your records?

Treasure points are the sparkly points and bags found in the field of most non-town areas of the game and Treasure chests are the actual chests found all over. You need to activate them for the titles "Loot Liker", "Loot Leige" and "Loot Lord" and the records "Treasure Found" and "Most Random Treasures Found". Do the points found in fractured dimensions count towards your records of these things?

How do you defeat the Yeti as a Templar?

The Yeti is gaining over 65 red mana within a few turns and the game seems to drop red mana stones when it is his move only. And then he uses his special ability which deals 999 damage to my templar. Is it even possible to defeat that guy?

Where can I spend Eridium?

I just found some Eridium, and thanks to this question I have some leads on how to find more. The pop up says it can be spent at the "Black Market". Is that a literal or figurative place? How do I get there?


D&D Mystara Arcade Games - What are they saying?

In light of the new re-release of Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara on Steam (and others) by Iron Galaxy, we have to ask ourselves one important question: **What are the characters supposed to be saying in their voice clips**? The voice samples in these games are very low quality and heavily digitized. They are also authentic to their original versions from 1996, and have not been modified in any way for the remake. Some of the quotes are easy to understand, while others not so much. Most of the ones involved in spellcasting are simply the name of the spell being cast, so those do not need to be elaborated on. Here are a list of the voice clips in question, as well as the more obvious ones filled in with the uncertain ones left blank or incomplete. **Tower of Doom** Fighter   * Standing Up: **???** (Sounds like "I need this!", which is nonsensical in context) Cleric   * Standing Up: "I'll fix you!"   * Turning Undead: "Powers Above!" Dwarf   * Standing Up: **???** (Doesn't sound like anything in particular) Elf   * Standing up: **???** (Doesn't sound like anything in particular) **Shadow Over Mystara** Fighter   * Standing Up: **???** (Same as previous game) Cleric   * Standing Up: "I'll fix you!" (Same as previous game)   * Turning Undead, Casting on an Ally: "Immortal's Favor!" Dwarf   * Standing Up: **???** (Same as previous game) Elf   * Standing Up: "I'm not done yet!"   * Casting _Conjure Elemental_ : " **???** : Conjure Elemental!" (Prefaces the spell with some sort of identifier. Sounds like "Full-light effect!", which is nonsensical in context. Notably, the Magic User, who can also cast _Conjure Elemental_ , does not do this.) Thief   * Standing Up: "Is that your best?" Magic User   * Standing Up: "You!!" The answer to this question is to fill in the unknown items. Please note that, although the horrendous quality of the sounds might seem as thought it requires some guess work and speculation to come to an answer, **this is not an opinion-based question**. There is a definitive, correct answer to this question that is supported by fact - the voice actors of the time were given determinable things to say in their script after all - it may simply be difficult or impossible to find out the truth. **Please give guesswork if and only if you are very confident that you are correct**.


Most efficient Chapter One JP farming?

I just picked up FF Tactics for my iPhone and haven't played it in years. I seem to recall that it's highly beneficial to farm a fair amount of JP and develop 2nd or even 3rd tier classes some before completing the first chapter. What is the most effective method of farming JP (and ideally XP as well) during Chapter One starting with a bunch of squires and chemists? Is there any specific map that's best for doing this?

How do I teach a spell to my pet?

I see that my pet has spell slots just like I do. I would like to teach him to heal himself, but I can't figure out how to get him to learn the spell. I tried dragging the spell to one of his spell slots, but that didn't work. I don't want to try right-clicking the spell while it's in my pet's inventory, because it still seems like it would teach it to me. How can I teach spells to my bet?


Skyrim Mod: Equip a complete outfit

Is there a mod available, where I can have multiple items (like 2 weapons, armor and clothing) bound to one slot? I'm actually trying to make outfits for different quests, because sometimes it's great to have the one abilities when the time I need the others. TIA


Can you use "Death from Below" from a ladder?

I'm trying to infiltrate the `Nostalgia` by the stern ladder. I just put a point in `Death from below` and thought that this was as good a time as any to try it out. However, I can't seem to execute it. The guard is standing close enough for me to see his chest hair and still I cant do anything. Instead I have to climb up in plain sight and hope to dodge a spray of bullets. Not so much "infiltration" as going "head first - guns blazing". Isn't Death from below usable from ladders?


What are the effects of playing on Easy?

Decision Making on early game jungling

I'm learning to jungling, but I'm bit confused about when:   * Continue the jungle routing   * Back to base to buy items   * Gank I know that I need rush my starting Jungle Item first (I'm playing now as Kha'Zix, so I go for Spirit of Elder Lizard). When laning, I have objectives like "If I back with 1600 gold I will buy BF Sword" or "I will back when I can buy Vampire Scepter + Boots", But as Jungler I usually back just to recover mana/hp, I find hard back when "gold for Spirit Stone is complete", by example, so I wonder if I'm doing wrong, or else if it's natural as Jungler Player? I have that questions up to level 6. After the level 6, clear the jungle is a breeze. Maybe I need clear the jungle safely and starting to gank only at level 6?


Do weaknesses add to flag-buff damage?

In BattleCry, a unit with -x resistance toward a damage type will take x extra damage from that damage type. A unit with a flag will add 1 damage of a particular type to the attacks of all units in the squad. Will a unit who gains a damage of the type the enemy is weak against benefit from the enemy's weakness?


Does Dungeon Siege 3 support USB gamepad controllers?

I've played through Dungeon Siege 3's demo, and I couldn't ever get a good handle on the movement controls; I found movement cumbersome, and (no doubt to weeks of playing League of Legends) kept expecting `Q` to activate my abilities (it toggled my stance instead). It's clear from the demo that the game was developed for a console control scheme; I have a USB Gamepad that I bought to play Super Meat Boy -- is it possible to play Dungeon Siege 3 with a Gamepad as well?


Which Pokemon can have Mega Evolution states?

From what I've seen so far, it's largely limited to old starters and old legendaries. Which Pokemon in Pokemon X & Y can have Mega Evolution states? Is it strictly limited to older generations of Pokemon, or is there a certain set of Pokemon that share this feature?


Is there a way to see other player's skill distributions like in the original Payday?

In the original Payday: The Heist, you could look at a player's name and see three bars indicating which trees they had decided to level. **Is there a way to view similar information in Payday 2?** For example, it would be handy to be able to tell during the planning phase if a bank job crew has three enforcers and no technicians.


How do I get past the eye in the first temple?

I've been trying to get past it for possibly 20 minutes. I can't hit it with a skyward strike or my slingshot. Fi says that it looks at pointy objects, but the only things that I can get it to look at are me and my sword. What am I supposed to do?


Can I track the matches played on Black Ops 2 on the PC?

I was wondering if this is possible without Steam, like the Elite/HQ function for the PS3 and Xbox. Simply on a website or something. To elaborate my question: I am looking for a website of some sort to track my played matches, k/d, accuracy etc.


What are the requirements for getting "Fortune Strike"?

After you win a battle in Muramasa: The Demon Blade, you'll get a list of rewards for things you did during the battle, like "Quick Draw Finish" for killing an enemy with a quick draw attack or "Completed Unscathed" for clearing the fight without taking any damage. One that I get every now and then, but cannot figure out what it is, is "Fortune Strike". As far as I can tell, I haven't been able to find any consistent method of earning this one. It's not really worth much, but considering I can at least tell how I received the others, this one is just confounding me all the time. What are the requirements for receiving this bonus, exactly?


Where can I find a firing squad (for Time Takes Its Toll and A Forceful Rebuke)?

Two Wizard Challenge achievements deal with projectiles: Time Takes Its Toll (slow 20 with one Slow Time) and A Forceful Rebuke (reflect 8 with one Wave of Force). ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rZEdS.jpg) It seems like getting both with the help of the same friendly demons would be pretty easy, but I can't find any that are willing to shoot me that much; gangs are either too small or fire too slowly. Where's a good place to get shot?


Demon Hunter build for Inferno

Following the way of similar questions for the Monk and the Barbarian, I'd like to ask the same for the Demon Hunter. I know that there's an analogous question, but its focus was Nightmare difficulty and none of the answers addressed Inferno. For a Demon Hunter, high DPS should come natural through a correct itemization. At the moment (I'm still in Nightmare), I'm focusing on damage- increasing skills, since a high-dps grants me an easy dispatch of my enemies, without having to worry of being touched. Is this the main focus even at higher difficulties? Or should I switch to health restoring abilities (as Elemental Arrow with Nether Tentacles, or Marked for Death with Death Toll, or Shadow Power), to balance the higher lethality of the monsters? I'm mainly interested in solo play. Example builds, with explanation of the choices, would be greatly appreciated.


When should a zerg NOT be droning?

So, I drone a lot... I feel like it's all I ever get told (the idea of, as zerg, "DRONE DRONE, and when you're done droning, DRONE SOME MORE!"). However, with this crazy over emphasized macro-enhancing focus, I feel I can't seem to actually be able to tell when enough is enough, thus being a (usually) direct cause of my demise. And so, I bring to you, on this day, the conundrum of all conundrums: IN THE RACE KNOWN FOR MACRO AND EXPANDING, WHEN DO WE CALL IT GOOD 'NUFF? (When do we stop with droning?... And yes, I'm a bronzie newb; however, I looked at all related questions, and couldn't really address this).


How to change players?

How can I disable The Exchange in The Sims 3?

I've been playing The Sims 3 on my PS3 (I mention the specific system because the options might be different). Whenever I go into the Build & Buy menu and go into specific categories, the crap that it keeps re-downloading from The Exchange over and over is _really_ slowing down my game and, frankly, it's kind of pissing me off. I've looked through the Options menu and didn't see anything in there to disable it; the only thing that really mentioned The Exchange was a big Redeem Codes button which didn't look useful at all. Is there any way to completely disable The Exchange **within the game** so I don't have to keep turning my Internet connection on and off, or is disabling the Internet the only way to keep it from downloading things constantly?


How do I build the trap for defeating the Kayran?

Can someone please give me a hint where I have to look next? I have the iron frame and my next goal is to look for the Ostermurk. I know it's location by now. But does this rule out building the trap? I want the achievement for cutting of a tentacle with the trap, so I really need it. Is there some option later to finish it? I am bit confused.


How does Nethack make a character for me?

I recently dipped my toes in Nethack waters and so far I've been letting Nethack pick the character for me. I keep getting either archeologist or a cavewoman though for about five games now. I'm wondering, is it supposed to be that you get a random character and I've been really (un)lucky to get the same two types for my games?


Do Minecraft monsters spawn on stairs?

I'm building a house and using stairs for the look of the roof. Will monsters spawn up there at night (assuming I'm sufficiently far away)? Do I have to put torches up there to prevent that?


Will monsters spawn on top of trees?

I'm covering everywhere near my house with my torches and building walls (using fences or blocks) around them, to make sure no creepers blow me up as I come out, or trample my sugar cane and wood. (I have now completed about 80% — without using any mods, tools, or other cheats.) ![Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6xF1J.png) However, as you can see, the tops of some trees are too dark. So I'm worried about monsters spawning on the top of trees. There's some mention about leaves and mobs in Minecraft Wiki: > ...and they never spawn on Glass, Ice, Stone Slabs, or other see-through or > non-cube blocks. (I'm playing Minecraft in fancy mode.) Even if monsters can't spawn on the leaves, maybe some monster can spawn on the wood that's not covered by leaves. (Don't mention about spiders -- since they can climb fences as you know and I don't care about them) **Can monsters exist near my house?** The distance between my torches is 5 metres.


Where are the mining streets?

While I was doing the exploration achievements, I remember two of the streets that are locked had a ton of mining nodes, but I can't remember which two. Anyone know?


How do you beat the fourth room of the Portal: The Flash Version map pack?

I seem to be having trouble in the fourth room of the Portal The Flash Version Map Pack. It's kind of irritating because, well, _it's just the fourth room_! This one should be child's play! The second part of the fourth room in the map pack seems as if it's meant to be analogous to room 6 in the flash game, but the same trick doesn't quite appear to work here. Any hints/tips?


What games can the Vita TV (PlayStation TV) play?

Since it's out in Japan, there should be some facts on what it can play. Can it play:   * PSN-only games? (Tokyo Jungle, etc)   * PSP games on PSN? (Dissidia Final Fantasy, etc)   * All Vita games? (Bullet Girls, etc)


How can I make a fake name when I use command blocks?

how to set up teams with command blocks

I am making a mini game in Minecraft where when you first spawn in you are in a lobby where there are two 2 3x2 caves, one blue, the other red. When someone walks into one of the caves it adds them to the blue or red team. I am wanting to know how to   1. Add someone to a team when they walk into one of the respective caves   2. Set it so when they press start game it teleports the players to their respective bases, not to the same one Finally its going to be a game where you kill the other team's leader (a wolf or ocelot) but how can i keep them from moving around without a fence or barrier because they are the leader. It would be easy to set up something that will check for players at X. example it would check for players at 93 9 20 then activate another command block


How do elemental procs work in Riptide?

In Dead Island (1), every time that you landed a critical hit with an elementally modified weapon on an enemy, the elemental effect would be applied. Among the elemental effects, there are fire, shock, impact, poison, fire, and bleeding. In Dead Island Riptide, this is certainly not the case. It seems that when that an elemental effect is applied and when that you critical hit, are independent variables. What's the algorithm for when the elemental effect is applied? Secondly, how can the elemental proc rate be improved?


Does the Body Blows skill apply to more than hand-to-hand attacks?

In Dead Island Riptide, John Morgan, the hand-to-hand combat specialist, has a skill in the third tier of the Combat tree called "BODY BLOWS". "Gain chance to perform very powerful fist and kick attacks, with the ability to knock down your enemy.   1: Critical attack chance increased: 5%   2: Critical attack chance increased: 10%   3: Critical attack chance increased: 15%" To borrow a saying, "text trumps table." So, I trust the second half, the numbers more than the implication in the description. However, this much of a critical attack chance increase applying to all attacks seems overpowered, so I doubt that it works with more than hand-to-hand attacks. Note: John Morgan's attacks don't change, at least not in terms of animation and indubitable effect, with the acquisition of this skill. Does the bonus apply to all types of attacks or just hand-to-hand ones?


What are my "bank" and "guild bank" and how do I access them?

I had the same question as StrixVaria -- what happens when you "deposit all collectibles" in your inventory. However, I didn't completely understand the answers -- the two banks mentioned -- how do you access them? Are they among the menus and windows, or do you go to a map location, or something else?


Is there any point to co-op dueling?

I've noticed that if I punch one of my buddies I can start a "duel", but I have not yet initiated one (due to many midgets who deserve my bullets more). What happens when you duel? Is there any benefit for winning or penalty for losing?


How is money shared in co-op?

I am inclined to think that money is somehow shared in co-op, but what is exact formula? Do all players get the full amount found, or is the amount found divided equally - or some other formula?


Is it normal to get overleveled weapons from chests?

Sometimes while playing Borderlands, I find a big red chest and then realize that the weapons are like +2 or +3 higher level than I am. I can't even play with those items until I level up. Is it normal that the loots are uber-leveled like this?


Is the Power Bash ability in Skyrim any use for 2-hand weapon focused character?

This is the Power Bash ability under the Block section. The description in the game doesn't say that it needs a shield.


How do I create symmetrical and even struts?

I'd like to add some EAS-4 strut connectors between some components to improve the stability of my rocket. But I can't seem to add them with any kind of reasonably symmetry and evenness. The second attachment is entirely free-hand, and it always results in a somewhat crooked strut. What I'd like to do is just connect two components, e.g. fuel tanks, with the shortest possible connection. How do I do that?


Switches after finishing Splinter Group

Just after you finish the necessary killing for the quest Splinter Group, in the Bloodshot Stronghold, there are four switches (wall, tv, pipe valve, floor lever), which change five lights .... but I haven't managed to find the right pattern. Is this a red herring, or is there some reward if I can get them all to green?

How do tier bonuses work?

Each skill in Payday 2 has a "tier bonus" associated with it. For example, the "Die Hard" skill in the Enforcer tree has a tier bonus of "You gain 10% more health." Under what conditions do I gain these bonuses? Do I need to spend a point in the skill?


Advantages and disadvantages of using beast-form to travel quicker on foot

I'm traveling from Winterhold college to the Shrine of Azura - it's cold, I don't like (other) wolves and it takes ages. So I assumed the beast form because it can sprint way faster, and stamina regenerates at insane rates. Is this a wise decision? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using beast form to travel faster? Do I need to kill people I meet to extend bloodlust, or can I kill a rabbit to continue? Strangely, at the mine a 'fugitive' approached me and then asked me to store something. I was given two dialogue options (! as a werewolf) but could not do anything later.


How to change items or things in the pouch?

I'm playing Zelda - Skyward sword. I can't change items or things from my pouch or items collection. When I'm on the "item menu" I do as I'm told - I press and hold B to select, but the moment I let go all I get is a description of the item :( What do I do wrong?


Missing jade statue on the Waterfront

I've collected all the other statues - and in fact even remember collecting this one in the Popstar Lead #3 mission, but somehow the "return the statue" mission never came up for that statue. Now, I can neither "return the statue", nor can I find it on the boat in Waterfront. The map shows the statue as a collectible, but when I get close to it the icon disappears. How do I reset it?


Is there a way to change the Raynor loading screen in Starcraft 2?

I'm getting tired of seeing Jim Raynor's face every time I launch Starcraft 2. Is there a way to change the image without violating the games EULA? If so, is there a website that has preconfigured images we can use? ![It sure is hot in this suit!](http://i.stack.imgur.com/T5zNq.png)


How do I beat Grand Duchess Faolain? (Twilight Arbor Spoilers)

The final encounter in Twilight Arbor story mode is quite hard. The Grand Duchess Faolain torments Caithe with phantasms of Destiny's Edge, including Mr. Sparkles (but not Garm, oddly enough). so the encounter is fighting those 5 instead of Faolain herself. Only Mr. Sparkles is not a Silver-portrait elite, which means all of them hit hard and have a fair bit of health. My group focused on Logan Thackery, and brought him down easily enough, but as we moved on to Rytlock, we were surprised to discover Logan had reappeared, at full health to boot! How are you supposed to win this encounter if everything you kill comes back a few seconds later? Do you have to kill them all at the same time? A specific order? What gives?


What effective combat strategies exist with the cloaking device?

I recently unlocked the Stealth Cruiser, but my first game with it is going less than stellar. Cloaking alone seems like an ineffective way to survive a battle, as the time between cloaking is so long that you can get hit multiple times by each enemy weapon before you are able to cloak again. The result is that most of the battle is spent desperately putting out fires and repairing subsystems, while also trying to deal with the enemy ship. Are there effective combat strategies that involve the cloaking device?


What do I do with all my beans?

I bought a bunch of magic beans from the guy sitting outside of Zora's Domain when you are a child. I could only find two locations to plant them (the one right near where he is sitting, and the one in the Kokiri Forest). I still have a few (I spent quite a bit of money on this, thinking they would be useful), but I don't know where else to put them. Where else is there ground for planting beans?


How to get Riot points for South American players in LoL?

Where are all the cats in Arkham City?

You have to use cats to switch between Catwoman and Batman in the main story, but I've seen only seen one group of cats, the ones right next to Catwoman's apartment. It's a hassle to fly back there whenever I want to switch. The game says that there are multiple groups of them, but I can't find more. Where are all of the other cats?

Is there a way to see how many real world hours I spent in the game? I see people saying "I played for 50 hours" "I played for 200 hours", Is there a way to find that our or is that just an estimate?


How do I play the Eets level pack?

I got Eets on Steam, but I got a non-Steam download of a level pack for the game. I unzipped the folder just to my downloads folder, but the levels won't play. I assume there is some spot that I need to put the folder - problem is, I have no clue where that might be. Anyone know what I need to do here?


Is it possible to join the Aldmeri Dominion?

I've been toying with the idea of creating a high elf who pledges allegiance to the Aldmeri Dominion. Is this possible? It seems like they are enemies of both the Empire and the Stormcloaks. So, probably not, but I thought I'd ask. N.B.: Answers will likely contain plot spoilers.


Can I rearrange the placement of the items in my inventory?

When playing video games, I can get pretty pick about things. Specifically, the placement of items in my inventory. For this reason, Skyward Sword is bothering me slightly, since my Slingshot is in the lowermost slot of my `B`-activated inventory area, when I feel it should be at the top. Is there any way I can rearrange which items go in what slot, or am are they stuck where you are when you obtain them?


What happens in the ending of Batman Arkham City?

I'm confused about the ending of Arkham City: > Does Joker really die at the end of Batman Arkham City? Is it a ploy? At the end during the credits you can hear a voice mail he left you three hours earlier, does this have any bearing on the situation?


How to get a large ocean map (is it even possible)?

## Is there a theoretical limit to how big oceans can become with the current terrain generator? **Backstory:**   I am searching for seeds for a project where I want the area around origo (x=0, z=0) to be as much ocean as possible. While searching I found this thread, where a user claims to have a seed that creates this world (his screenshot): ![Big ocean world](http://i.stack.imgur.com/u1ODw.png) This map would be sensationally perfect for me, unfortunately however, trying his seed "FOUR o FOUR" I don't get this world. Other users fail to get this world as well and asked him to post the numerical seed using a seed extractor thinking there might be a typographical error. He then claims he used the tool and posted "-165589391". This however is the numberical seed that "FOUR o FOUR" gives, and naturally the same world as before. One theory is therefor that there was an error when this map was generated for him, or he was using a map editor or a mod or something. But I was wondering if such a map actually is possible at all. **Edit:**   @SevenSidedDie:It is certainly possible, however the thread was posted late in march, after biomes were added and after the ability to enter seeds were added, and he specifically mentions the seed used to create the world (and taking the hashcode of his provided string do indeed give the same integer he later posts. @fredley: He specifically says ~~that you spawn at 0,0, ergo an absolute spawn.~~ to go east from 0,0. The world I created has a random spawn, but I've checked the entire area from -500,-500 to 500,500, and nothing resembles the map he has shown. @fredley: What do you mean by "looks like I got the world you're talking about"? Do you mean the world I desire? If so, can you please tell me if the seed is any of the two I mention above? I doub it somewhat, because even though there is a lot of water around the coordinates (46, -293) in your screenshot, a Cartograph reveals that the map is in no way the same as the desired. Here are some Cartographs from "FOUR o FOUR" and "-165589391". The red X marks (0,0), and as you can see they are the same, but not anywhere close to the desired map: FOUR o FOUR: ![FOUR o FOUR world](http://i.stack.imgur.com/03025.png) -165589391: ![-165589391 world](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ccopw.png)


Within a same weapon category, does "more expensive" automatically mean "better"?

There is a somehow large panel of weapons choices in Payday 2, with a wide range of prices (from $10k to $500k) and unlocking at different levels. After a some tests, I'm pretty convinced that, regarding handguns (secondary weapons), the Deagle is one of the most interesting: few ammo and some recoil, but great damages and gadgets possibilities. And it's also one of the most expensive handguns (and secondary weapons).   The Kobus 90 stands at the exact same price ($501,300), unlocks at the same level (36) and looks like the sub-machine gun counterpart: way less interesting to me, but perhaps the "best" sub-machine gun ? Does it mean that all the pistols cheaper than the Deagle are not worth it and can simply be sold back once I bought the Deagle ? Same question goes for the rifles and shotguns (primary weapons). I'm wondering it because   * it doesn't sound like a good gamedesign choice (once you can afford the most expensive weapon, you can sell back all the others)   * if didn't work this way in the first Payday I feel some " _better_ isn't revelant" remarks coming up: of course I mean " _overall_ better", which requires a bit of abstraction over the gameplay, I have to admit it ;) But since some weapons are almost never part of any matchup (stealth, rush, endurance, ...), it doesn't sound completely absurd to imagine some overall ranks for each category of weapon. I rarely see players playing with other handguns than the Deagle, for instance (it happens, but rarely), nor with the basic AMCAR or AK.


Is it normal for a boat to break after like 5 blocks travel distance?

With the newest patch released, I created a new world and spawned on a very, very small Island. So I made a wooden Boat. But it keeps breaking after a few Blocks of travel distance. Is this normal? I am on Singleplayer normal mode.


What is the benefit of Aquatic Helms over regular ones?

In playing Guild Wars 2 so far, I've only come across standard helms by way of the Trading Post. However, the filters also let you choose Aquatic Helms. When I first found this, there were none for my level. I figured it let you breath underwater for when I arrived at an underwater zone. This doesn't exactly seem to be the case, as I can stay underwater seemingly indefinitely in the starter zone I'm in. **What is the benefit of an Aquatic Helm over a standard one?**


Do Assassin Recruits die if the Templars retake a Den?

When I liberate a Den from the Templars I normally fill up by new slots right away however I am wondering, if a den gets contended and I fail to repel the attack, do Assassin Recruits die if a den is retaken and what effect does this have on recruits out on missions. Also if recruits do die, how does the game determine which ones are killed?


How can I get the Mechanist's suit back?

Short story, I sold the Mechanist's armor to a caravan and then entered the Ant-agonizer's lair. Can I get it back? Long story, I was scavenging when I came to the town where those to guys whose names I find too long to type again, have their fight. I went for the Ant- agonizer first then realized her lair was ridiculously close to the town, so I did the Mechanist's hideout first, used a successful dialogue option and he dumped his suit on me. Overencumbered, I dropped the heaviest thing in my inventory(His suit), used the grab button so it was just floating in front of me, and high-tailed it to the town's merchant. They don't have one. So I waited for a caravan, sold my non-essentials(his suit and helmet included), and began the Ant-agonizer's Lair. She says she won't talk to me until I have the suit. Can I get it back?


Are there any other factors to Mediterranean Defense Mission which could cause 100% success to fail?

While reading the perks for completing the Assassin Guild Challenges one of them was that Recruits would be more efficient in Mediterranean Defense Missions. Since I always make sure that I don't send Assassins out unless the success rate is 100% (which is what I did in Brotherhood, at most I needed 4 Assassin Rank recruits for a mission to be 100%). I am wondering, even if a mission's success rate is at 100% when selecting recruits to dispatch, are there still factors which could lead to the mission failing, or is the Assassins Guild perk for Mediterranean Defense Missions just for those who want to risk missions which aren't on 100%


When does the first recruit come back?

During the tutorial about Assassin Recruits, after completing a mission with him about a former assassin killing off Assassin's I sent him on a mission as part of the tutorial. The mission name is The Little Prince, the description says something about the Sultan's third son who's been held hostage by Templars, the amount of cash I would get it pathetic compared to the amount of XP which is I think 13,500, and there's no time limit, when selecting my recruit for the mission just him gave the mission a 100% chance of success. Since it lists no time limit till he gets back I am wondering when does he come back?

How to automatically update a Team Fortress 2 server with SteamCMD?

I have a Windows server running Team Fortress 2 (TF2) with SteamCMD and I would like to enable auto-updates. For the moment, I have to do it manually with SteamCMD using the `app_update` command but this is very bad as I must check daily if there are new updates. This is what I've tried :   * The `-autoupdate` arg when I launch the game (`srcds.exe -autoupdate ...`)   * Putting the SteamCMD commands in a text file and using the `-steam_dir` and `-steam_script` args Is there an easy way to do this?

What item bonuses apply to my follower?

There are a lot of different side effects an item can have, and I assume that things like magic find have no influence on any of "our" found items at all. However, I'm not sure about other things. For example:   * Do followers get life-steal on weapons, too?   * Does increased orb healing make any difference?   * What about +experience after kills? Will my follower level up faster? and probably a lot more. Is there some general rule as to what effects of an item apply to followers, and which don't?


No description on equipment stats

I have some idea of the stat icons and what they mean like poison resistance etc. But for everything else it's a complete guess. No text, and so far after searching online, nothing posted on it. Anyone have a link or a breakdown of the stat icons actually are on the equipment status menu of the game?


How do I defend against Nydus attacks in a StarCraft 2 team game?

I played a 3v3 last night with _mostly_ novice players. It was PTT vs. ZZT. One of my opponents got sight in the rear of our bases and started flooding the place with Roaches and Hydralisks via Nydus Worms. We were able to fend off this attack with our various defensive units. Unfortunately, these had been up at the choke point and not really prepared to run back, which took some time so the Zerg were able do to some serious damage. What's more, the Zerg were able to retreat handily back to the Nydus Worm and live to harass again a minute later somewhere else. What are some good ways to:   * Detect an incoming Nydus attack quickly to react?   * Destroy the incoming Nydus Worm before it completes building?   * Take out the Nydus Worm after the units come out so they can't retreat?   * Prevent the whole thing from happening in the first place? In this case I don't think denying sight would be possible, considering they had a Terran player with no qualms about using Scanner Sweeps. My initial thought for some defense was maybe getting some patrolling Marines or Reapers in the backs of the bases, just to start shooting at the thing when they saw it building. But then I wasn't sure how _many_ it would take to soundly deny the building from completing. Another thought I had was perhaps a Photon Cannon near the edge... would that be enough to take out the Nydus Worm before it completes (assuming we could place it well to see the best Nydus build locations)? _PS We did end up winning the game due to superior macro... and one of their players unfortunately disconnecting._


How come 4 Warp Gate Rush does not dominate professional play?

This might be a dumb question; I actually don't own SC2, so what experience I have is playing friends' accounts. But my friend has been playing on Diamond + Platinum, and so far he seems to be unopposed by 4 warp gate rush. Which is basically 4 warp gates + proxy pylon within 6 minutes, and sending in 3 zealots 3 stalkers. Anyone who tries to tech up simply gets destroyed, because he has no units by the time the warp gets there. Is it because he hasn't been encountering anyone who is actually good? And what are good counters to this, if I ever end up buying SC2 and playing against him? I feel like this can't actually be a competitive build, because it doesn't seem to be the win-every-time strategy in professional games. edit: I guess the more specific question I am asking is, "What are essential/crucial weaknesses in this build? (in general) In particular, the weaknesses that prevent it from being the end-all build"


How to adjust the controls for NFS Shift to deal with a braking problem

I'm playing NFS Shift on my pc using my keyboard. I have kept the control setting to casual. This causes the "Assist braking" option to be high and compulsory. ![Assist braking option](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rYs3n.png) Now this works in a very stupid way. Very frequently when I'm driving with leading position and a sharp corner approaches the AI slows my car automatically so much that other cars behind me overtake me at blazing speeds. This gets especially annoying when there are sharp corners near the finish lines. So I noticed that there are more controls to fine tune the way braking works by defining the **brake dead zone** and **brake sensitivity**. I can only hope that making changes to this would also affect the wonderful assist. Question: What setting should I keep for the **brake dead zone** and **brake sensitivity** to deal with this problem? ![Driving control options](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2NX93.png) **Edit:** You can open the image in a new window to see a larger size.


What happens if I save Berthold and his sister?

There's a spot behind the High Overseer's office where a woman is being accused of being a witch. Her brother, Berthold, is trying to defend her. When negotiations go sour, Berthold draws his sword and kills one of the guys, The other one then stabs him in the back and goes after his sister. I didn't get my crossbow out fast enough to save Berthold, but I was able to sleep dart the surviving overseer in time to save his sister. She ran out to Holger Square and disappeared. **What would have happened if I had been able to save them both?**


Does "Big Stinker" count as "Bad Medicine?"

I'm currently using the "Big Stinker" rune on my Gargantuan: > Big Stinker   >  The Gargantuan is surrounded by a poison cloud that deals 15% weapon damage > as Poison per second to nearby enemies. I was considering stacking this with Bad Medicine as a passive: > Bad Medicine   >  Whenever you deal Poison damage to an enemy, their damage is reduced by 20% > for 3 seconds. This seems like it could be useful to make my Gargantuan even more tank-ish. However, I don't know if the poison effect counts as poison damage for the purposes of the passive. Can anyone confirm (via some repeatable test and/or official statement) that this works or doesn't?


Are the directions of the tower's posts always the same? (N,E,S,W) In Die Rise, Black ops 2, High Maintenance Achievement

I got as far as punching the tower with the Galvaknuckles last night with 3 friends but when we had finished what we thought was the correct combination - no achievement. I know there is always a tower and it is always next to the same post. OK so this tile can of course change colour but can it change direction? Surely the directions would stay the same throughout every game? Or is North sometimes South etc etc? Also, does anybody know if it has to be Samuel to galvaknuckle the tower? Or can it be anybody? Thanks.


When are the melee attacks worth using in Doom II?

I've been playing Doom II for the past few days, and I've never really used a melee attack at all. The berserk seems like it'd be awesome, but I always end up switching to a shotgun once I get in a real fight because I take so much damage when trying to actually punch mutants. Even the chainsaw seemed next to useless, to the point where I just ignored that it existed. When are these melee attacks worth using? Are there any techniques I should keep in mind when using them? Or were they added just to have more cool items and not to actually see serious usage?

Why are there no tanks in Fallout 3 / New Vegas?

Is there a reason why you never see any tanks in Fallout? For a civilization constantly at war and so heavy on the weapons development they seem to focus on infantry all the time. You could argue this was because of the fuel being scarce but there are so many nuclear cars around this seems a tad void (since military always comes before civilian toys). The closest thing to a tank is the Chinese chimera tank, which is a converted oil drill/rig. All I've ever met in my travels are army trucks, and once a Jeep. I doubt I missed them so is there any reason for the lack of military vehicles?


About security on Minecraft plugins

My son discovered MineCraft some months ago.   I decided to buy him a premium account.   He hosts a server to play with his friends. Now, he wants to install kind of plugins to "hack" (in his term) his server to be able to dig larger part of land at once... He told me that he would like to install the "bukkit" plugin   He told me also about a "server starter" "server starter" I'm less confident about installing this stuff... Does exist a kind of "official" repository for these stuff ?   Which one I should not install for security reasons ? The server is running on a window computer. I've read that exist an OS for running a server on Linux

How can I reliably play Fallout 3 DLC without an Internet connection?

I just moved to a new apartment, and I popped Fallout 3 into my 360 before the cable company got around to turning my Internet service on. Before the move, when I did have an Internet connection, I completed two DLCs (The Pitt and Broken Steel); I had some items and side quests left over from those ( **spoiler** : e.g. the gun The Infiltrator and the side-quest about selling cameras to the BoS). After the move, I opened up my old save file and wandered around the DC Wasteland some, but didn't do any quests. I then saved and turned off my 360. My Internet service was turned on the next day. After that, when I opened my save file, it looked like I had never completed either DLC; the unique items were not in my inventory and I was hearing Wehrner's Distress Signal again. How can I get my items back? Or, if that's not possible, how can I play Fallout 3 while not connected to the Internet without losing my progress?

How do you get a Team Fortress 2 server started?

I recently purchased a Team Fortress 2 server. It (at the time) featured mostly control points maps with a few maps intended to act as breaks mixed in (sd_doomsday, cp_gravelpit). Voting was enabled so if people wanted to skip these maps if they wanted. I invited people I could, and eventually people started joining randomly. The best we got was 7 v 7 (it's a 24 slot server). Then the map changed to granary and some people left. After that, the map changed to cp_well and everyone left except for one guy who was trading for a vintage direct hit. After receiving said item he left. After that I removed all non-cp maps and also removed well from the rotation. What can I do to get people to actually join the server without inviting tons of people each time? I thought we would have had enough people to sustain the server, but well apparently killed it instantly, and we were losing people in granary, so I don't believe that would have been enough.

Gameplay differences between Morrowind and Oblivion?

I played the hell out of Morrowind, but that's not saying much - it's a massive game overflowing with additional user-generated content. I've never played Oblivion, nor had much interest in it once I heard way back when that it had been "dumbed-down" for console players. However, time goes on and the Elder Scrolls itch returns. Would someone who has played both extensively be so kind as to give me a breakdown?

How often do Senate and World Council votes occur?

On the main screen, there's options to vote for the Senate and the World Council, which the game says will globally affect players. However, it doesn't specify how often you get to vote for a new initiative or president. The descriptions are vague, saying that "frequent" votes take place for the Senate, and new presidents are appointed on a "regular" basis. For example, this is the current Senate vote. ![senate votes](http://i.stack.imgur.com/egooo.jpg) As you can see, some of the bonuses are quite good, but I'm wondering how long these bonuses will last before new ones are cycled in.

Why am I so exhausted?

I've created a Virtual Pro in _FIFA 12_ who seems to have a real lack of energy. Even if I play a match as him and never use sprint, he is worn out by the end of the match. After a match of playing, the coach will e-mail a few days after a game telling me he's sitting me out of the next game because of exhaustion. This has happened after every single match so far, about 8 weeks into the season, so I skip every other week. Is there a way to increase my virtual pro's energy? If there is, in the meantime, is there a way to get the coach to sub me out of a game? I'm playing Career mode as a player, not as a player-coach, or coach.

How to airsuck and deal with airsuck?

As you know, pyros have the ability to _airblast_ , or push things away with a jet of compressed air for 20 ammo. You might not know that sometimes you can apparently use a jet of compressed air to _suck fleeing spies into the Pyro._ What's going on? Is airblast behaviour wonky if a player is too close to the pyro? Is the pyro just airblasting me obliquely into a wall and somehow the game won't push me back if that happens? Is it just netcode wonkyness? How do I get out of this situation?


What is the TF2 crate drop rate?

Now I have been searching a while now for an answer to this question. One particularly helpful site was this: LINK However, all this site told me was that: > Mann Co. Supply Crates and other usable items drop on a separate timer, > meaning that these items do not affect the interval between regular drops. So, I followed a link to this site: LINK However, I looked at the wikia page's contents, but there was nothing stated about the drop rate for crates. I am referring to different types of crates too, not just normal ones. With the new update, Munitions crates #82 and #83 have been added into the game. Do these crates have a different drop rate compared to other crates. In addition, the Strongbox crate, #81, went 'rare' on the 27 of February. How rare is 'rare'? Salvage crate rare? **In other words, I would like to know how the drop rates for the following crates work:**   * **Standard Crate**   * **Series #81 – Mann Co. Strongbox Crate**   * **Summer, Fall etc. cooler Crates**   * **Salvage Crates: #30, #40, #50**


If an item is too powerful to repair, am I screwed?

I have a bow that has Power IV, Flame II, Punch II, and Infinity I, and also it's renamed. According to the wiki, that has a base value of 38. Since the max level is 39, that would mean practically anything I want to do is above the max. Is there any way to repair it?


How long do 'War Justifications' last in Victoria 2?

Several times I've gone to the diplomacy screen to start a war only to find my previous justifications are gone. Is there a time limit to 'claim' those justifications? If so, is there a way to make the game show a message or warning when it's about to happen? And if not, why did my justifications disappear?


How do I stop the AIs from being hypocrites?

For example, they get mad at you when you ask them to stop spying at them, and also get mad when you catch one of their spies. They get mad when you vote against their propositions and vote against yours all the time. They spread their religion all the time but doing the same to them gets them mad. They settle near you and asking them to stop makes you mad, but god forbid you settle near them. Is it possible to disable this? I'm open to mods.


Before the last update it was possible to start a game on normal or nightmare or hell difficulty and in such a game a character with a high level was able to find items with lower level. But now I find only level 70 items with a level 70 character even if I play on normal difficulty. How to find level 60 items with a level 70 character?


How are diseases spread?

My village of about 350 was short on laborers for my new expansion, so I accepted 30 nomads in the town hall. Almost immediately, there was a cholera outbreak. I was not worried, as I'd dealt with diseases successfully before, and I had two hospitals with physicians and plenty of herbs. However the disease spread very quickly and eventually killed off my population. I am wondering about the mechanics of diseases - logic would dictate they spread as they do in life, through proximity between villagers. Is the key to treat diseased individuals immediately and hope they did not come in to contact with anyone? Are some diseases more potent, deadly, or contagious than others, or is the difference only in the name and they are mechanically identical? Are villagers able to be contagious before they are marked as diseased or are they marked immediately upon contact? Do disease events only come up when nomads arrive?
