Does shield recharge rate scale with warframe's maximum shield?

Say you have 100 shield capacity and you apply the mod that improves your shield recharge rate (fast deflection) making it recharge your shield completely in 2 seconds. Now say you have 700 shield capacity with the same amout of shield recharge rate, will it still recharge 700 in 2 seconds?

How to incorporate individual cells into existing cell blocks?

I'm having a problem with my new cell block. I created it the same as the last one but I can't seem to manage to incorporate the individual cells with the existing cell block. This is making it really annoying to search the cells, because I have to do every one individually instead of just "Search Cell Block". Does anyone know how to fix this problem?


Does 'overcharging' a sniper increase its damage?

As a Sniper, I know that if I charge my sniper rifle, it will do more damage, but does the time for which it is 'overcharged' (i.e. scoped in when the charge meter is already full) affect the damage it does on its next shot? The reason I ask is that, a couple of times, I have scoped in for about 30 seconds (in a sneaky spot) and have dealt about 500-600 damage (which is more than enough to kill even a fully-overhealed Heavy). Is this just a coincidence? If 'overcharging' a sniper **does** increase its damage, is there an upper limit to how much damage it can do?


Moneymaking in Perfect World International?

Using a Generic Gamepad for Batman Arkham Asylum (or PS3 controller)

I need some help setting up my PC to play Arkham Asylum. It was the one Arkham game I have yet to play (minus Knight but I'm no time traveller :P) and I got it on PC via a Steam Sale ($5 was a bargin!) The problem is I want to use my generic gamepad. I have a few of them for game development so it seems daft to buy an X360 controller for one game. But after half an hour of searching via Google, I can't find a suitable tutorial. Can anyone help me with this? I do have a PS3 controller if that makes setting controller-based gameplay easier. Thanks to any who can help! EDIT: Where in the game is the ability to change controller methods? I am looking for anything to do with the so-called "X360 controller" section but I can't find it.

Getting "Unable to load Steam.dll" when trying to load Peggle Extreme

I installed a game called Peggle Extreme, a free game in the Steam web store, but when I tried to play it, it gave me an error: `Unable to load Steam.dll`   * I do not have this issue with any other games.   * I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but to no avail; I still get the same error.   * As far as I am aware, it has fully downloaded and ready to launch. I was wondering if this is a widespread issue, or if it is just me. I have attached a screenshot: ![Steam Screenshot of Error](http://i.stack.imgur.com/e7v36.jpg)


How can I make the selling phases less laborious?

Selling stuff is an easy way to make money in Far Cry 3. But the store doesn't seem really convenient: I spend precious minutes to double click (or double tap `Enter`) to sell everything as fast as I can. It's even more painfull when I want to quick-sell craft items (leaves or animal skins), because I have to deal with a confirmation pop-up. Is it possible to make it faster ? By multi-selecting items, for instance, or just selling the whole content of your bag in one click ?


What are "Attempts Remaining" in the code hacking minigame?

When I'm in the code hacking minigame, I always see "3 attempts remaining" at the bottom of the screen. I'm not sure how this is used though. ![hacking minigame](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ritNW.jpg) In my experience, if I run my cursor into a red section, it removes one piece I've already hacked. If I do that when I don't have any pieces hacked, I get locked out of the system, and can't attempt a hack again. So where does the 3 attempts remaining come in?


How do I install a Steam game from the DVD disc, and into a custom directory?

I want to install a Steam game into a custom directory. For example, I want to install my new game which I activated through Stem but then cancelled the installation because I have the retail disc, into the directory `E:\Program Files\`. How do I go about installing the Steam game into a custom directory?


Is it possible to play games that run off of Steam, on a Linux or Unix-based OS (other than Mac OSX)?

I was wondering if it is possible to install and play Steam games like Skyrim off a Linux or Unix-base Operating System (OS), such as FreeBSD or OpenSUSE? Update: Apart from installing through Wine, which is an emulator and would hence defeat the purpose, because it would cancel out any performance increase you might get over running through Windows. In short (as far as I am aware), running through Wine would give even less performance than running through Windows.


Where can I find weak Pixelmon?

When I start up a new world of Pixelmon in Minecraft, all I have is a level 5 starter, and I'm surrounded by Pixelmon ranging from levels 10-45. Finding a reasonable challenge is, in itself, a challenge. Where can I go in the world to find weaker, lower-level challenges for my starter to grow and fight against? Or am I stuck praying to find a low-level pokemon without accidentally running into a level 45?


In pokemon y can you mega evolve an Infernape?

Keeping a long term base in DayZ

I have acquired a black SUV and been able to keep it for several days now. My current gear include a pile of weapons (DMR, multiple AK's, Bison, MP5SD, pistols etc), plenty of food, a tent and lots of other stuff. I've been keeping everything in my car, and I've found a very good place to park it when I log off. I'm playing on a semi-busy server with peak daily player count at around 20-30. I haven't really been able to keep a base in DayZ for very long before. Mostly my tents have been looted within 2-3 days, and I've lost all my vehicles pretty quickly up til now. I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how to keep and maintain a base over longer periods of time. I know location is important. But how about routine server restarts? Are tents safer than cars? How about enter/exit routes to and from the base? Perhaps splitting a base into several smaller bases? Any advice will be appreciated. **EDIT:** I always thought the end goal of DayZ was to establish a base somewhere to operate more freely out of. Recently I've realized that this isn't the point of the game at all, and that "horders" (players who accumulate lots of gear in a car/tent) is often critized for playing this way. More seasoned players will often destroy bases they find without even looting them first.

How can you share quests?

So I'm giving The Elder Scrolls Online beta a try and I figured out how to join an ad hoc group. But I can't figure out how to share quests with that group. When I bring up my quests (J key) and then click on one, there is a Share option (F key). However, clicking on it doesn't seem to do anything and the others in my group can't join me in the quest. So how can I share quests?


Maxing Out Perks?

The level cap in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is 50 but you can keep going after that to about level 70 if I understand it correctly. This means you can get about 70 of the 250 perks in the game. Jail time can lower your kills so that you can train them up again would that allow you in theory to get all 250 perks by getting to level 250? Let me know what you think?

Are all trainers the same?

On Tython I've encountered two trainers, and the second didn't have any new moves to offer me. Do all trainers teach the same moves? Or do I need to seek them all out at the right levels in order to learn everything?


Is it possible to make a decent army in the early game?

I am new to Civilization; I bought Civ 5 a couple months ago and I have only played around 4 or 5 games so far. Maybe it is because I am new to the game, but the early game goes so fast that there seems to be very little time to engage in prehistoric conquests. Am I right or wrong? When I start expanding myself and destroying other empires this happens in the mid to late game, around the 1800s and later. Is it possible to make decent armies that can occupy cities before the II or III century? If so, any tips on how to achieve it?


Are there any background walls which are immune to explosives?

Explosives are powerful. Maybe a little too powerful for my liking. I've set up a trap where mobs fall into a pit of explosive proof material (in this case, mythril ore), where I'm free to throw dynamite or bombs to my heart's content. However, I want there to be a background wall so that mobs won't spawn inside the pit while it's closed off (using active/inactive stone blocks). So far all my attempts have failed with the background being blown clean off the sky. Is there a wall that will remain in place even if dynamite goes off right in front of it?


How does one dispose of stolen aircraft?

I'm doing the 6th vehicle theft for Rigg in _Saints Row the Thrid_ , stealing a Woodpecker from the airport. How do I actually turn it over to him? With the boats and helicopters I just had to get it close to the drop off icon, but that does not seem to work with an airplane.

Use a command block to "Sense" a player in a certain area

OK, so on my friends and my server, we have a skyblock map. My issue is when somebody joins they spawn above the Void. What I need is for a command block to determine if a player is near the Void and send a redstone signal to another command block that will teleport them to the main island.

Can you run an installed Xbox 360 game off of USB flash drives now?

Since you can use USB Flash Drives for data storage now, is it possible to install a game to one? Or, can you install to HDD and then copy to flash drive? Unfortunately I'm one of those with an old 20GB HDD...so before I go buying a USB stick or two rather than a bigger HDD, I'd like to know.

LA Noire Launcher DirectX not found problem (Windows XP)

I keep getting the "The Launcher cannot query DirectX. Please update DirectX by installing the latest redistributable" I'm on Windows XP and this is the Steam version of the game. GPU=NVIDIA 9800 GTX+ running 285.x drivers (newest available for XP) Problems started after the most recent patch (the patch that added directx 11 support... but I'm XP so whatevs). Pre-Patch, I would get the problem, the launcher would crash, but then the game would start anyway, so I didn't care, but now it doesn't launch at all. I can't downgrade retroactively (as far as I know?) because it's Steam, so I don't have the original media. I've tried reinstalling directx, uninstalling & reinstalling directx. Launching the game directly, launching the game as admin (I'm running as admin already, but I do "Run As" and uncheck the "protect this computer box"), Launching steam as admin, validating the game cache. re-downloading and reinstalling. Nothing works. I've tried disabling my anti-virus (Avast) ("C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps" is already whitelisted). Tried downgrading my gfx drivers to 280.x version. I have no idea how to proceed, but any tips would be great.


How do I use email wishlist notifications?

Debuting with the Winter 2012 Steam Sale is something called "wishlist notifications" which appears to be: > We'll let you know by email or through our mobile app when the games on your > Wishlist are on sale as a Daily Deal, Midweek Madness or Weekend Deal. > Whether you're riding the bus, walking the dog, or stuck in a meeting, > you'll know when there's a deal! I haven't got a mobile device capable of using the Steam mobile app, so I'm limited to email-based notifications. How do I set up or configure email notifications for my wishlist items?


How to change displayed button bindings?

I am playing Final Fantasy 8 on Windows using the Steam edition and an Xbox 360 gamepad. I have configured the buttons so that they map to what I remembered from the console version. However I am finding sections such as the train decoupling and Zell's limit break very hard to complete because the game is displaying the buttons sequences as `B1` and `B4` etc. I have no idea which buttons these are on the gamepad. Is there a way to change the display of the buttons in the game? So that the dialogs will display `X`, `Y`, `A`, `B` so that I can easily understand which buttons need to be pressed. I do understand that I can disconnect the gamepad and use keyboard which will display the actual letter of the keyboard button, but I would much rather use the gamepad. Currently I have Zell's limit on auto - but I would prefer to input the moves.


Can I shrink this three-pulse-generating circuit?

I guess what I'm after here is a code review for my redstone. I've set up a circuit so that when I press a button, 3 items get dispensed from a dispenser, but it seems rather large. Can anyone suggest ways I could make it smaller? ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/W0Nhn.jpg)


Can I miss any of the "ambient conversation" quests?

Whenever I'm tooling around in the Citadel, I find that I can overhear conversations between other residents of the structure. If I listen for long enough, or I return to the same group of people often enough, I sometimes get a journal entry for some new thing I should recover or area to explore. Are any of these ambient conversations missable? Should I be cautious when scouring the Citadel (or any other areas, such as the Normandy?) so as to find them all before I advance the plot?


Is there any way to identify interactive objects from a distance?

To find consoles or people to talk to, I have to approach them and see if I get the circle that lets me know I can interact with the object. Is there a better way than running alongside all the walls in every room, to see if I can interact with consoles? Are the interactive ones different than the others? Can I "look" at them and have a tooltip tell me they're interactive?


Do I get to keep all of my collectibles from Mass Effect 2?

During the laning phase, when should you take your lane's turret?

This question has always bothered me while playing League of Legends. If I win my lane and take an early turret, I give myself the opportunity to roam at the cost of letting my opponent free farm their lane. While roaming benefits my team's other lanes, it also allows my lane to be counter-pushed and the turret taken. However, if I choose not to take my opponent's turret, I force them into a somewhat dangerous position, as farming now leaves them open to ganks. As a counter point, though, doing so forces you to stay in your lane, lest your opponent push it and take your turret. Thoughts?

Disabling 10NES Chip

I've got a pair of classic NES consoles; one in near-pristine condition and the other that shows a bit more exterior wear, but still functions just fine. Since I still enjoy throwing games on the original console from time to time, I was thinking about disabling the 10NES chip in the latter unit to increase its overall reliability. The question here is twofold:   * Is this a simple task (e.g. just cut a pin with a pair of wire cutters), or is it more involved (e.g. time to break out the soldering iron)?   * Will this modification have any negative effects from a usability standpoint?

Jesus killed them but I lost anyway?

So, I was approached by the Elves and they asked me to come with them or fight, but that it was "a waste of time" and that I should just come with them. I fought them anyway and summoned Jesus who descended with his M16 and promptly sprayed them to defeat. However, when the battle ended the story continued with me losing. Is this a bug and/or is it really impossible to win?

Is it possible to pacify the Minetown watch?

Recently, I was in Minetown and was attacked by some sort of monster that caused me to begin hallucinating. Without noticing this fact right away (I'm still adjusting to a new user interface), I accidentally attacked what turned out to be a watchman. I don't know whether or not I actually killed him, but I received no "you murderer!" messages. (I don't know whether hallucination affects that message's appearance or not, though). In such a situation, is there anything one can do to get the guards to forgive you? What about angering the town watch through other means (vandalizing, theft, breaking and entering) -- are those treated the same way as well?

Does food in your owned houses replenish itself? Can I get it to do that?

Do I need to get a maid? And how do I get one? My housecarl Lydia doesn't replenish my food. I see all these videos where they always have food layed out but I know they've been there before and taken it. Mine however has never come back.

How can I use a controller (designed for PlayStation) on a PC, with Xbox layout?

I just bought a controller for use on my PC, but turns out it's not an 'Xbox type' controller. It seems to be a controller with a layout for PlayStation, so when I play games with controller support the controls are all weird. I can't find a way to re-map my controller in the Windows Control panel, and I'd like to avoid buying additional hardware if I can help it (such as adapters). Is there a utility that will enable me to remap the buttons?


Can I force someone to leave my city?

My quiet little town has run into some trouble. Recently, I tried building my third bridge only to be informed that a citizen's home was too close to the build site. Upon closer inspection, I learned that my problematic home belonged to Buck, my steroid-fueled donkey. I've never been a big fan of Buck and his sporty attitude, so I'm not overly concerned with him no longer being a citizen in my town. For the greater good. **How can I remove this steroid-injected donkey and his pesky house?**

Is getting wolves early still viable?

I used to play Jungle Trundle all the time, and when they changed him to fit into the Freljord story line, I had no problems adapting because riot basically buffed him. But the recent change to the jungle and how the creeps spawn is making me weary of using the troll with a club, or jungling at all for that matter. My old Jungle plan was buy the Machete and 3 pots, do Wolves, smite blue, do Wraiths, do golems, smite red, base to buy things then continue ganking as needed. (Trundle's passive is awesome, allowing him to sustain through all that jungling in one go) However, I'm unsure as to what route to take now.   Do I start blue, then go wolves then continue as normal?   Do I wait the longer time for wolves, grab them then blue and continue like nothing happened?   Do I hit blue and just skip wolves and continue on?   I'd like to know the advantages and disadvantages of the three above scenarios, mainly for Trundle, but points on how the affect other main junglers would be helpful too. (For example, same three questions but replace blue with red, wolves with wraiths, and Trundle with Shyvana)


Why can't I loot Dr. Mercy's body?

I was doing the _Medical Mystery_ quest from Dr. Zed to investigate a new type of weapon being used, and it involved finding, killing and then looting Dr. Mercy. However, when I get to the part where I'm supposed to loot Dr. Mercy's body, it won't let me interact with his body to loot it. The quest marker shows a spot to go near the entrance of the cave (i.e., not where his body is), but there's nothing there, either. How can I loot him to complete the quest?

Where am I to most likely find the last 16 coins in Live Freemium or Die?

I found all DLCs but am now stuck at 184 coins, while the shopkeeper's door requires 200 coins to pass. Most likely I missed one hidden cave with 16 coins, though of course I could also have missed multiple locations. I'm pretty sure I did a thorough search though and my patience for revisiting each and every location a third time starts to fade... So, where did I most likely miss 16 coins in one place? Or if that is not easily answerable, where is a map (or list) of all possible coin locations?


Minecraft lags on a specific user

I have a really great desktop machine that I use for all sorts of games - i7 cpu 8gb ram 2gb GTX 660 graphics card. I have different users because I have small children and different settings for them compared to the adults. On all of the logins Minecraft works totally fine, but on one of these logins, it just starts to lag and pause for no good reason. I can't figure it out. I've completely deleted the \user\appdata\roaming.minecraft folder and re- downloaded everything to do with it, but the same issue persists. I've updated to 1.6.1 today, but still no difference. I have a Windows 8 installation, brand new, not many programs installed. I have 6 different users (4 Administrators, 2 normal users). I have tested Minecraft on 2 Administrator accounts and both the normal user accounts. All are fine except one normal user. I'm absolutely baffled so far... I have a brand new installation of Windows 8, with really no programs running at all. I have far more in my start up for my user (sc2gears, dropbox, etc.) than the user with the issue. There just seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. The user in question is not an Administrator, which I thought could be the issue, but then there is another user who is not an Administrator, who runs Minecraft fine. It's a very confusing issue.

Do I get less scrap if I "soften up" an enemy ship before I board and finish off the crew?

Sometimes, to make boarding a ship easier, I'll send off a volley or two of burst lasers to knock out the medical bay or injure the crew before I teleport over to fight them. When I do this, of course, it causes several points of damage to the enemy ship's hull. Does it make any difference in the amount of scrap I receive at the end of the fight whether I weaken the enemy ship in this way, or capture it by teleport without firing a shot? (My impression is that it doesn't, but I'm looking for something more solid than a hunch.)


How do I display designs in second floor museum?

I just got the second floor to the museum in New Leaf and I hung a bunch of designs on the wall and a few dresses standing up. I went to the able sisters to get some more qr posters online. I came back and the ones I'd replaced in my designs (which I have saved with mabel but I assumed I wouldn't need them any more for now) have all disappeared from the room. Does this mean you can only display designs that you have on your person? Because what's the point of being able to display your artwork if it's going to disappear if you want to have new designs? Otherwise the rooms are basically just going to be museum versions of your own house surely? Help?


Are there any quests for the Eight/Nine Divines?

I've completed Meridia's mission, and received dawn breaker (EDIT: oh, I would have never done this if I realized she was a Daedra!) :( I also completed the Sybil of Dibella mission and became an Agent of Dibella.

How does ownership work?

In Skyrim, there is a console command to set ownership, but I am unsure to what exactly it does. I know it makes it yours (or someone else's) but I don't know what the ramifications are. Can I set the ownership of a random container ... make it mine thus making it not respawn or is the respawn timer an internal condition regardless of ownership? This question is addressed to people with experience with the Construction Kit (Oblivion or Fallout 3).


Do world objects reset?

What I am trying to ask is: do objects placed somewhere by me simply reset? Context: I use a cool "mod" (not really a mod just a savegame with some console tweaks) where I am a bandit (affiliated with all bandits) and so on and so forth. I have also added obscene bounties so I need to avoid most major cities. Thus I want to inhabit either bandit camps or abandoned houses, but I want to make them REALLY be mine, so I want to personalize them. I know that anything I throw on the ground inside my own house won't reset, but what about a non-instanced shack (the ones you don't need a loading screen because it's not instanced) If I just place books, potions, armor, gold and other stuff will it eventually reset or disappear?

I'd prefer a method that doesn't involve hacking/homebrew.


Can fish be caught in all water tiles?

The Halloween update for Minecraft added an actual function for fishing rods; you can actually catch fish with them now! To do so, you right click and you cast the line. Can fish be caught in all water tiles, or must they be a certain depth, certain number of tiles together, etc? ![alt text](http://i.stack.imgur.com/LzcqB.png) ![alt text](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mgJP7.png)

Why can't I run the Minecraft Shaders Mod on Linux?

I have installed the shaders mod to my Minecraft 1.7.5 game on my Arch Linux. I can't seem to get it to work though. Whenever I choose a shader, my monitor will go on standby with every now and then the screen popping up with a half- rendered Minecraft, saying some OpenGL programs are invalid. I would be able to use my mouse, but not to interact with anything. Even my GNOME desktop isn't responsive anymore. After say 5 minutes Minecraft will crash, and my deskop will become more responsive. It'll still put the monitor on standby (less) frequently, but the majority of the time I'll be able to interact with my desktop. If I go to the developer console in my launcher I can see some errors somewhat like "Invalid Operation: Use Program shader". I can't get the exact error due to the desktop being very unstable. I am running on an AMD mobile graphics card, which identifies itself as "Mobility Radeon HD 5650/5750 / 6530M/6550M". I am using the Open Source drivers as provided by freedesktop in the official repositories. What is causing this problem? How can I fix it? I can confirm it's not a hardware issue as I have ran it before on Windows.

Blank game screen on Level 19

After loading Level 19, documentObjectMadness.js, the game screen turns completely black. All input seems to be ignored, but sound still works. ![Blank](http://i.stack.imgur.com/lhMeZ.png) If I hit "Reset", I can see my character (green) in the top left and a different character (red) in the bottom right. ![Resetting](http://i.stack.imgur.com/pyA1K.png) Is this the expected functionality?

How exactly do I install Minecraft Mods and what is Forge?

I'm having a really, really hard time figuring out how to install mods on Minecraft. I've looked everywhere I can think of for help but the information is almost always outdated or unhelpful. I've seen on several sites about the use of something called Forge. The Mod I want to use requires 1.6.4 Forge and I have both Forge and the Mod folders sitting in my downloads folder. I haven't installed any kind of mods for any game prior to this and I have little clue to the technical side of Minecraft, so please keep this in mind when you give me an answer please! Things that might help you figure out how to help me:   * I want to play this mod http://phedran.com/LifeInTheWoods and am using the 1.6.4 Forge given on a link that website gives **UPDATE:** Thanks so much, Forge works now :) The only problem now is that when I move the mod I want into the mods folder and open up Minecraft, the mod doesn't appear anywhere (not in the mods section, not when playing a world). The best I've gotten it to do besides play normally is crash. Any ideas?

Keeping chunks loaded without player

I have an automated golem farm on my Minecraft map (Xbox) that doesn't work when I'm too far away because the chunk it's in isn't loaded from where I usually am. So if I want it to work, I have to stand somewhere near it. Is there any way I can keep it loaded at all? Like, if there was something running in the area, such as a minecart? Or will it not work at all without a player?

Why do some custom made characters show up as "Creation 1" to other people online?

I've been told that one of my characters shows up as "Creation1" in online matches. I've seen it happen to other people as well. It seems to happen mostly on characters themed after someone specific. Mine is "Conan", so I'm wondering if there is a name ban list or something. Do some IP related names get automatically converted to "Creation 1"? Does anyone know if there's a full list somewhere? I haven't been able to find any info on this.

How can I disable the pawn shop alarm in Fallout 3: DC Interiors Mod?

I've been playing around with the DC Interiors Mod for Fallout 3, and it's generally great - except I can't figure out how to turn off the alarm in the Pawn Shop near Northwest Seneca Station. I've combed the shop over, and even the 'second floor' accessible through the hotel next door, but I can't seem to find a switch. According to the mod creator, it **is** possible to disable it, indeed it's the only way to access most of the items in the shop. However, he doesn't like giving out the location in public. Does anyone know how to disable the pawn shop alarm?


Hotkey to make toon run forward in WoW for OS X

On Windows I think the hotkey was `Insert` or something close to that to make my toon starting running forward, so that I did not have to hold a button down while my toon ran. So that I could switch apps and type this message while my toon is running for example. So what is this hotkey on OS X? Or how can I get this done on OS X at least?


Dark Souls Upgrade to "Prepare To Die"-Edition (PS3)

I own the PS3-version of Dark Souls and have already played it for some time. Now I would like to get the DLC "Artorias of the Abyss", but instead of downloading it, I would like to purchase the "Prepare To Die"-Edition, mainly for its extra content. The questions are: Does the "Prepare To Die"-Edition install seperately from the original game or does it integrate? Does the PtD-Edition install a seperate trophy set? And most importantly: Can I still use the saves that I already have in the game? Thanks in advance for any answers.

What to spend your credits on in Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

I'm not that far through, and I'm already up to like 40k credits... and simply I don't know what to spend this on. Things I would really like to buy are stun ammo, but I can't find anywhere that sells them, and then I would like to buy tranq darts, but again, I can't find anywhere to buy them. LIMB buildings only have 2 praxis kits and seem to sell out. Plus I would like to buy those bars that give me energy, but can't find anywhere either. It seems like the game has not given me any way to spend my credits.


Is it possible to attack the same village twice?

I have been playing clash of clans for a while now and I have recently upgraded to a level 8 town hall. Out of all of my battles I cannot remember if I have battled the same village twice or not. I understand that the layouts can be the same piece by piece but what I mean is the name of the village. I am curious of this because I am hoping that I would be able to fight one of the really easy idle villages that I have attacked before for about 400k loot again. Please note that I have put into consideration shield time with these layouts.


Do the Reapers only kill sentient life?

The opening of Mass Effect 3 says Reapers come to purge the galaxy of organic life every 50,000 years. I know it's fiction, but life evolves much slower than that, in fact the human race is already 50,000-200,000 years old in current times, depending on what you consider a human. There's been life on earth for hundreds of millions of years and it seems an odd oversight for a plot driven, sci-fi game to make. Does the game mean that the Reapers only purge the galaxy of _sentient_ /humanoid life or is this not elaborated on in the game's story?

Is there a point to the mound / sunlight room in the Temple of Hylia?

In the Temple of Hylia, there's a room behind the Bird save statue that has a mound, and a few items to help you recover. Besides giving you some life hearts, is there anything else you can do in this room? The light coming from above seems like it would have some sort of meaning. Here's the room I'm talking about (sorry, best picture I could find on short notice): ![Temple of Hylia mound room](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GuBFB.png)


How can I remap keys to my powers in multiplayer?

In the single player game, I'm able to remap which number keys trigger various powers by holding down the spacebar and then, when the command window is open, dragging the power icons into whatever numbered slot I want to hotkey them to. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2i2Ws.jpg) However, in multiplayer, I don't seem to be able to click and drag them. This is causing me a lot of frustration because I got used to a certain setup in single-player and it is causing me to slap all the wrong keys in multiplayer. Is there a way for me to remap my powers to the number keys?


How can I recover my GTA save game?

I was transferring the storage data for GTA 5, and my xbox froze. I had the message saying don't turn it off, but I didn't know what else I could do. Once I turned it back on, the data looked like it was transferred properly, so I didn't think anything of it. Until I tried to play the game, anyways. Any other time you would see the police lights and whatnot. Now, its just a blank black screen, but it tells me who's online at the time. How can I fix this?


About genderless breeding

Pokemon like Staryu, Starmie, Klinklang, Rotom, etc, can only breed with Dittos? For example, Rotom, is listed in the amorphus egg group according to http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/479.shtml.   I have tried to breed it with some pokemons of the same group and the response was always negative, so i had to use a Ditto.

Does placing Civic buildings further away increase traffic?

I know that placing utilities (water, power plants etc) further away from the general city is not only a valid tactic - it's generally **encouraged** , because who wants to live next to a coal power plant? - or get their drinking water from the creek running right next to heavy industry? Obviously utilities buildings connect to the greater city via power lines/water pipes, so they don't increase traffic - in fact they're quite happy to chug along by themselves, with no transport interaction whatsoever. But what about civic buildings, like schools, libraries and hospitals? I don't assume it's any more _beneficial_ having them further away (I think they generate a positive aura). **But does having them on the other side of the map increase traffic?** Will the Sims 'simulate' the long commute to get to school or visit grandma in hospital? or do they not care WHERE they're placed (so long as they're placed)?

How do I make cats less proud?

I have several cats running around my fortress, killing vermin and doing what they do best. Every now and then, a cat runs into my fortress dragging behind it a fresh kill as if to say "Look at what I did!".

Is there a way to keep my map visible while I walk around?

One of the features I really liked in Diablo 2 was the ability to change your map position. You could either keep it in the upper right hand corner or switch it so that it was over-layed on the screen and your character could essentially walk around on top of it. Like this: ![Screenshot of Diablo II with a large version of the map centered on top of the character](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IPtNB.png) Is there a way that I can set my map up like this in Diablo 3? If not exactly like this, is there any option other than keeping it in the upper right hand corner?

The cooldown on Karthus's ultimate ability Requiem is 180/150/120 seconds. If I buy a CDR item like Morello's Evil Tomb, how does that affect the current cooldown? Will the cooldown be reduced by 20%, or is the cooldown based on CDR when the ability is cast?

How does one invite specific people to play 1v1 in Starcraft 2? Acccording to this note I tried the following but failed:   1. Add the guy to friends.   2. Right-click the name of the friend you want to invite in your friends list on the side of the multiplayer lobby. Click "Invite to Party." But then I can't do anything.

Why should I build structures?

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question, but what is the advantage of building permanent structures? I understand the advantage of having a base camp with various items nearby. But what purpose do walls, etc. serve? Is it a way to keep hounds, werepigs, and others from attacking at night? Do they keep you warm? Basically, is it worth the effort of building a structure that utilizes resources in a game with no real points system or final outcome to be achieved?

What Bonus Feats and Permanent Stat Increases are available?

Throughout the KOTOR games, there are a number of quests, and (especially companion) dialog conversations that yield special bonus feats, or permanent increases to the statistics of the PC (or an NPC companion). For example, repairing the various droids or breaking Hanharr's will in KOTOR 2 yields some free stats, or sparring with the handmaiden yielding the Battle Precognition feat that adds a Wisdom bonus to Defense. Given the high importance of reaching various skill and stat break points (18 Con, multiples of 2 in other stats, crafting minimums for various skills), and the very high cost of raising stats above 14 at character creation, (and the opportunity cost of 'wasting' other feats or potential increases) it's helpful to know what the total bonuses one can expect over the course of a game to plan out a character. Thus the question: what is the complete list of these static bonuses (I.E. Not from equipment or buff or a class feature or a standard level up) that can be earned over the course of the game? I'm playing with the TSLCRM Restored Content and M4-78 Restoration mods, if those have any bearing on the answer to this question. I'm mainly interested in those bonuses gained by the Exile, but having bonuses for companions compiled (beyond the obvious "becoming a Jedi") would be nice too.

Techniques to deal with game 'addiction'

I'm sure it's happened to all of you that around midnight you realize you've been playing for four or five hours more than you had time for tonight and it's not first time this week. _(well maybe not all of you)_ My question is how do you get yourself away from games when you know that you don't have time to play but you still really want to? I have a few techniques which involve generally hiding the games in my sock drawer, but that means I need to keep my games on an external hard drive. Any other techniques would be useful.


Tactics versus new "updated" engineers

With the new engineer update, some old tactics seem to no longer work against certain sentries. Specifically I'm talking about a level one with a shield. The only ways we found to bring them down was to send a spy in to sap then have an ubered demo lay a stickie nest around it and blow it all away. Soldiers and heavies straight on ubered seemed useless unless they got on top of the sentry or we had a scout or something distract it. Anyone else find anything that works?


How to deal with natural disasters?

I just started playing From Dust, and I find it rather clunky to control. While building a bridge as part of the objective, my villagers will randomly start drowning, my village will randomly get hit by a tsunami, lava will pour down the mountaintop, or any number of unfortunate things may happen. I want to help my villagers, but only seem to hurt them. What am I doing wrong, or what can I do more effectively to help my villagers?

Is there a way to save the dying creature in borderlands 2?

Whilst playing Borderlands 2, I came across a creature that appears to be shot. It is saying: > So cold! so cold! Over and over. I felt very pitiful and tried to aid it, even after my best efforts he died. I have tried that part a couple times now and I have tried to give him a health restorer whatever, revive him, heal him, and I and all my friends have tried helping him. we have unfortunately failed every time. Its just really sad when he dies. so does anyone know if there is a way to help him? I have even tried getting him to Doctor Zed which is impossible.


Is the Tongue a Melee Weapon?

In Diablo 3 there are several (similar) creatures that attack by licking you, attaching their tongue and leaping toward you. I hate these guys; not only do they deal large amounts of damage, but they seem to always target me and not my minions. (Furthermore being licked to death is unsettling.) The question is, do these licks count as melee attacks, or ranged attacks for purposes of armor (skills?) that reduce incoming melee OR ranged attack damage?


Can the PC Version of Injustice: Gods Among Us link to the iOS version?

Let me just say that at the current moment, Injustice: Gods Among Us is my favorite iOS fighting game. To me though, the charm of fighting games is to unlock all the characters. In the iOS version, with all the alternate versions and such, you can understand that it got me pretty busy. After a while, for some reason also due to the release of the New 52 Black Adam skin, I've decided to bite the bullet and consider buying the ultimate edition of the PC version, since I don't have an XBox 360, a PS3...Well, pretty much every current-gen console. Part of my intent is so that I can unlock the characters in the iOS that needs to be unlocked via console (New 52 Flash and Green Lantern, Knightfall Bane, Prison Superman, Batman Beyond and Arkham Harley Quinn.) So I was wondering, is the PC version like the consoles? Can I link it to my WBID so I can unlock the iOS unlocks on the "Console"? And also vice versa, use the "console" to unlock stuff on the iOS?


"Professor Portal" achievement in Portal 2

I achieved almost all of Portal 2 achievements, except "Still Alive" and "Professor Portal". The first one is not a big problem but second one is, since my steam friends who have Portal 2 have already played co-op. One way to achieve this is to play with random player and become their friend, however, I'm wonder if becoming friends after starting the calibration course is still accepted. Is it OK (for earning "Professor Portal" achievement) to become friends with another person after starting the calibration course? PS : sorry, I can't decide the answer until saturday because I can't confirm until then... :(


How do level seeds work?

I see minecraft seeds listed, and I started trying some of my own. I have noticed using the same seed produces very similar styles of maps, i.e. start in a specific biome, very high mountains etc, but do they reproduce the maps exactly and you just spawn in the same place, or are they just a very specific set of rules for the area you first spawn? If I have two maps of the same seed, and I walk 1000 blocks north, will the maps be identical/similar or totally random after the first spawn area?

So a few days ago my Xbox 360 finally conked out completely. It's a 2006 model that I had already sent in for repairs (from an RRoD) a few years ago, so there's no more warranty on it today. Symptoms look fairly fatal to me: after crashing during an MTG2012 session, it rebooted into a red screen. Now every time I turn it on, I see visual artifacts. Sometimes it starts playing the boot animation, just to crash after 2 or 3 seconds. That means I cannot even boot into the dashboard anymore. Question is: what about my game data? I only really care about saved games to be honest. I don't have a lot of games, but the few ones I play are RPGs, some of them (Oblivion, Fallout, etc.) I spent a hundred hours or more on a single character. Is there any way to recover the game save data? I know the hard drive is detachable, but the new Xbox Slim does not support these (oh yeah, I bought the Slim today).

No controls when watching my own replays

I am recording Dota 2 using the following method (using console commands)   1. join game   2. open console   3. type "record myawesomereplay"   4. play   5. open console again   6. type "stop" It can saved and there is no problem. But, when I run the demo, It does not show the controls on the top right (eg. view modes - free mode, directed camera, the move forward, play pause controls etc.). I am also not able to edge pan. Any solutions to this ?


Summer has come and I don't know what to do

During the summer, most plants wither and stop growing. It's also very dangerous to stay around in the base, because things keep smoldering up and you will probably not have enough ice in store to keep them cool. While roaming the world, I noticed that mushrooms still appear to be growing, so I can pick them up as crock pot ingredients. I just checked out the caves and it's still pretty hot in there, in addition to darkness for which I wasn't quite prepared and with all the grass bushes withered, I'm not sure how I can keep a stable supply of light sources. With so little food and everything just waiting to burn to ashes, it doesn't look like there is going to be much "free" time. But what else can I do when it's so hot all the time? Where can I find a safe place where the heat can't get me and my valuable items?


Can I just run away and pretend nothing happened if things start smoldering around me?

In the Reign of Giants DLC, summer introduces Overheating for the character and for nearby objects as well. If you stay in one place long enough in the middle of the day, things will start smoking. If they're not extinguished fast, they will begin to burn and nobody wants that in Don't Starve. But is it okay to simply pack your stuff and leave the smoldering objects off- screen fast? Will they not keep smoking and eventually burn?

How to VOIP/Voice with my friends in battle log?

This used to work with BF3 that you would join in a group with your friends via battlelog and you could voice chat. While nothing has changed on our computers, except installing BF4. How do we chat? we currently can only type to each other (feels like back in the 90's).

How does assassination work in multiplayer?

During multiplayer games of Mass Effect 3, sometimes the commander over the radio will declare an assassination as the next objection. I understand the goal is to kill the designated target, but there are some other details that are a bit fuzzy.   * Is there any logic behind what's designated as the target? As in, is there a sequential order or a prioritization of "tougher" enemies?   * Is there a time limit to manage when killing the target?   * Is there a chance the target will escape the map? If there is, are there consistent exit points on maps?   * Are there ever multiple assassination targets assigned at a time?   * Does it matter which team member takes down the target?   * Is it possible for the target to be killed without direct action taken by the players? That is, can the game "accidentally" kill the target? If so, is this considered to be a successful completion of the objective? Sorry for the blast of questions! I know there's some cool guy out there that knows the answers.


Is there a Combat log?

I have found the notification log. However, this does not contain a log of attacks and defences. I use quick combat and sometimes I go, whoa, what hit me? In my current case, it was a stealth bomber. Is there a combat log I can sometimes have a look at when I'm confused? As I begin my turn, I see combat text on the screen. It is difficult to read and does not stay long enough. **edit: notification log does not show my tank was attacked** Here is my tank that was bombarded by a canon. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sc0kJ.png) Here is the notification log ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MtvAm.png) **edit 2: Notification of unit death and cause.** Still missing, is what attacked my unit that did not die. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/k9XWc.png)


Defence against stealth bombers?

I was fighting a technological superior foe. Korea! had only just gained Jet technology. Korea had employed a stealth bomber. For once I was on the wrong side of this weapon and Korea was picking off my melee units. In the city i was attacking from/defending I had jet fighters set to intercept . I also had an anti-aircraft gun. I am not sure if I was damaging the Stealth Bomber. I had quick combat on which could have made it difficult to see if I was damaging the bomber. Can stealth bombers be defended from? (other than from the bomber taking a little damage as you do attacking any target with planes).

How to Run World of Minecraft on Ubuntu?

How do I exit Journey properly?

I bought Journey today, and when I tried to exit the game I naturally pressed Start to open the menu, but there was no option to quit there. The only thing I could find was to press the `PS` button and choose `Exit Game` from there. I don't like doing that as it's usually a 'hard quit' that doesn't allow games time to save. Is there a better way to quit the game? Does this method save anyway? Or is progress only saved in between levels, in which case quitting at any stage just resets your current level's progress?


What is the base chance of the Cryo Ammo power to freeze an enemy?

The Cryo Ammo power has a certain chance to freeze the enemies you shoot at, but the description of the power doesn't mention how high that chance actually is.

Is true damage listed as magic damage in the statistics?

So I recently played Vayne and I took a look at the damage statistics after the game. What kind of surprised me was the fact that the statistic showed me that I dealt a small amount of magic damage and as far as I know Vayne has absolutely no spell damage and I also didn't buy any Items that apply on-hit effects (except for BotrK which is physical). So is True damage = Magic damage? And if not where could this rather small amount of damage come from?

What combo are ultralisks good against in WoL?

I find that when coming up against a large Marine/Marauder group I often lose even when I have about 10 ultralisks. It is only in a few situations, in late 4v4 games, that I have been able to go for ultralisks, but then they just died instantly. I probably made some tactical mistakes, but I want to learn _when_ to go for ultralisks and what combo they're good against in WoL?


How does one initiate ground combat in StarDrive?

I've been unable to discover how to initiate ground combat. My only luck so far at securing artifacts has been to colonize a planet and build troops on it, but I feel confident that's not the only way. Do I need assault shuttles or transports in order to land troops on a planet and secure an artifact or initiate ground combat?

Malzahar's Silence (Q) though reveals any champion it hits briefly.

Heist preparation always fail

I'm now preparing for one of the heists. Right now I gotta get 4 _Gauntlets_ and mod them. The problem is:   * I'm playing as Trevor and I only have $11127.   * I got into a _Gauntlet_ and the mission started.   * I should drive it into the _Los Santos Customs_ :      * If I hit anything the mission fails with words: _"The required mods cannot purchased due to insufficient funds"_.     * I did my best to get to _Los Santos Customs_ without a scratch and I made it.   * However, after preparing the vehicle for a heist($11000) the mission failed again! And again with the same description What should I do? I failed this mission on purpose more than 10 times in a row to skip it, but this option doesn't appear. And I can't switch characters because only Trevor is used in this "mission"

What threat do my prisoners pose?

So, after a small revolt, I imprisoned a few of my vassals. This made an excellent opportunity to restructure my realm. Those who had a different culture had their lands repossessed immediately. I do however have two remaining prisoners, whom I don't know what to do with. One is a duke and double count. I could strip him of his primary title for free but not the counties. I'll let him rot until he dies, methinks. The last one is a mere count. I was thinking of removing his title, but then I started thinking ... "Well, at least I know where I have my dear vassal" While he is imprisoned, he can't rebel or plot against me. So that's neat! But what are the down sides of keeping your vassals locked up? Will his heir come back to haunt me?


Minecraft Cannot Connect to Server (java.io.IOException)

I'm trying to connect to a sever that is used by a few of my friends. The sever runs off FTB Direwolf. When I try to connect to the sever (using an external IP address), the response from my computer says, "Internal Exception: java.io.IOException: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine" I have tried looking at my firewall settings, reinstalled minecraft, and made sure everything I have is up to date. Any suggestions on how to fix this error? Thanks


A bug with Fight mechanic and Deathtouch in Magic DOTP 2014?

My turn, before combat. Opponent:   * Giant Scorpion 1/3 Me:   * Giant Scorpion 1/3 I cast Hunt the Weak selecting both Scorpions. In response to Hunt still on stack I cast Giant Growth on my Scorpion. After Growth resolution, my Giant Scorpion was 4/6, as expected. Now Hunt the Weak resolves and... **they both go to graveyard?!** :O Fight mechanic **is not** dealing **combat** damage. Deathtouch mechanic **is combat** damage and (its deadliness) should not be counted for Fight. The outcome should have been that the oponents Scorpion should have died because of 4 dmg received and mine should have just 1 damage on his 6 toughness (and should have been able to attack for 4). Right? Seems like a bug in DOTP 2014 :(


What steps am I missing to make TF2 render a demo as h264?

I have a demo file created with `record ...` and I wish to convert it to a movie. I can render as numerous TGA files. I have downloaded and installed latest version of QuickTime Player and rebooted the machine. In Team Fortress 2 in Windowed mode, I then use the following steps:   * `startmovie e1 h264` (reports that frames will be captured after clearing the console)   * `playdemo demo` (plays the demo)   * `endmovie` (closes the movie) Nothing named along `e1` is now present in the steam folder next to the demo. From https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Demo_Video_Creation I understand there should be a codec window somewhere, which I do not see. The documentation for this feature seems to be rather weak and I might have been looking at outdated information. Platform is Windows 7 x86. What should I try next?


No leveling Bandit run in Dark Souls

I'm currently doing my first "no leveling-up" run of Dark Souls (1); I chose the Bandit class as a starting class (and the Master Key as a gift), and just noticed that I wouldn't be able to attune any pyromancy due to my low attunement level. Up until now (I just reached Anor Londo) things went surprisingly smoothly, the only boss that gave me a little trouble was Queelag, whom killed me twive, but I dread taking on the Four Kings without Power within and even O&S might prove to be a challenge. Do you have any tips on how to defeat these bosses, the four kings in particular, with a low level melee character that has no magic or pyromancy capabilities? Or is it easier than I imagine? **EDIT** I am now facing the Four Kings and my concerns were justified. I don't think I can dish out enough damage fast enough, several attempts failed as the second king killed me before I could even kill the first. What are my options? I'm wielding a +5 Fire Battle Axe, and I can't upgrade it to a +10 now as I want to join the Darkwraith Covenant and thus can't deposit the Lordvessel. I'm aware of the possibility of using the Red Tear Stone Ring, but that would mean breaking the Ring of Favour and Protection which I'm not too keen on... **EDIT 2** I was mistake about the embers being unaccessible before killing the Four Kings. My new plan is to upgrade my Battleaxe to +10. Furthermore, I upgraded a Giant's set. I came close to killing the Four Kings twice today, and I feel I could take them down with this equipment.

How do I revive downed party members?

I'm playing the PSP version of **Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky**. One recent encounter with a monster KO'd one of my party members (apparently pine- cone monsters explode like bombs when reduced to 0 hp. Who knew?), and I'm at a loss as to how to get him back on his feet. I know that you can use an item to recover from KO, and if you find and activate Orb Recharge station, that will also revive your lost party member, but if neither of those methods are available as options (for instance, if you're out of the revival item and far from a Recharge station), is there some other way to get my party back on its feet? I've tried both Inns and Temples, and unlike other JRPGs, neither seems particularly inclined to help fix my companion.


What's the purpose of the "Songbird Defense System" statues?

In Bioshock Infinite, there is a Comstock statue in her room, that starts playing a tune, and makes Elizabeth realize Songbird is coming back-- we also see these statues later in the game, sometimes they play a tune, sometimes they don't. What are they? Why were they built? What makes them play their tunes? I don't think the game ever fully fleshed this out, unless I missed something..


Do you have to die to unlock/use a new character in Don't Starve?

I'm new to the game and I noticed that when I died after a few days I almost unlocked the second character. Is this the case to actually unlock the characters and use them or do they unlock after you reach so many day and can you switch character in game? Because I wouldn't like to last X amount of days and then have to die just to use a new character.


Is it possible to have the Corruption and the Crimson Biomes in the same world?

I was reading on the wiki how there is a chance that the Corruption will be replaced with the Crimson. I am wondering if when you get a world where you have the Crimson is it possible to also have the Corruption if you bring over corruption seeds from another world and use them. Or would these seeds just get you more of the Crimson?


Being a Lone Wolf in EVE

Is it viable to be a "lone wolf" PvP player? In other words, roaming around without any corporate affiliations doing whatever you want, while still engaging in PvP.

Increase the frame rate during cutscenes of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood?

I have an NVIDIA 9500 GT which has 1 GB DDR2 RAM. While the actual gameplay is quite satisfactory, my frame rate is dropping terribly during cut scenes, which is making the video out-of-sync with the audio. I've tried lowering some settings and even switched to a lower resolution, but still the frame rate is not getting better!


What size difference is there between the PSP 1000, 2000 and 3000 for applying Skin Stickers?

I've been looking at some Sword Art Online Skin Stickers but it says that they are meant for the PSP 3000, from the looks of the images the only difference I see between the 2 models is that the metal ring around the back is slightly thinner So I'm wondering, with the PSP 1000, 2000 and 3000, what differences are there with size that could affect how a Skin Sticker is applied? Here's a Link to one Skin Sticker.


How are Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon related

Will repeatedly looting villages bankrupt the AI players' economy?

I've put together a fast, brutal party of slavers, and we love to burn villages. My dream is to undermine the economy of Rhodoks so badly that the other kingdoms devour their lands. However, I'm not certain that such plunder actually affects the AI players. Does anyone know? I'm suspicious because of things like the AI magically spawning new soldiers into a garrison, without any lord recruiting them, training them, or moving them in. I assume that the AI uses many shortcuts. Since I've never seen an AI lord enter a village (and collect his taxes), it makes me wonder if that economy matters at all.


Why can't I add Stereoscopic 3D to my game?

When I try to develop a game or make a sequel, I can't use Stereoscopic 3D and am limited to just the other options. I've tried making new engines, loading old saves, rebooting my computer, and even making another game, hoping the graphics option would reappear, but it never does. Why can't I add Stereoscopic 3D to my game, and what do I have to do so that I can?

How are score streaks meant to be obtained?

So I was watching some video footage of good players and I'm totaly confused now. For me score streaks seem to work completely differently. If I die, I need to regain all the score streaks again (even when I already have them), but on the footage it seemed that when the player kept the first two score streaks and died, he started gaining the third one. Am I missing something completely obvious here? Is there some switch as to which score streak I want to gain points for?


Can Civilization 2 be modded/patched to always allow all research options?

In Civilization 2 (Specifically ''Civ2: Multiplayer Gold Edition'') is there some way you can edit the rules.txt or something to make it so that when you've given the options to select a tech it will always allow you to select every teach you have the requirements for? Specifically, when starting a new game, I usually research Code of Laws and Ceremonial Burial, but then Monarchy won't show up right away, and I'll have to research something else before I can research Monarchy. And it's just really annoying.


How can i fix my DSI?

My DSI is not working. When I try to turn it on the health and safety screen comes on for a second and then the screen goes black, even though the power and Wi-Fi light are still on. I have been experiencing this problem since I was on a plane and my D.S.I. would not work. At the time I just thought it was the plane, but after I landed it still wouldn't work. How can I fix this problem?


Why are there two "GTO TWIN TURBO" cars?

In Gran Turismo 3, there are two separate Mitsubishi "GTO TWIN TURBO" cars available to purchase. They have exactly the same price, the same engine, and almost all of the specs are identical. Besides having different graphics in the list, one is 25mm longer, 30kg lighter, and is available in green rather than blue. Is there something I'm missing, or are these really nearly identical? Is there any advantage whatsoever of the heavier car? EDIT: I just noticed that another Mitsubishi car has a double. There are two "LANCER EVOLUTION VI GSR Tommi Makinen Edition" cars which are identical in all listed specifications.


Can I trust Steam-powered games? Is there any unwanted behavior installed with Steam?

So - I just bought the new game **Supreme Commander 2**. This question is not about the game, but about _the online software installation platform that it seems to require._ I haven't bought a game in a long time, and I'm puzzled: Apparently, SC2 is a "Steam"-powered game. When I went to install the game, it asked me to either create a new Steam account, or log in with an existing account. I clicked "Cancel" because _I don't plan to play online_ and _I don't want anything unnecessary installed on my computer_ , since I only plan to play single player! However, after clicking "Cancel", the installer asked for my confirmation that I indeed wanted to **cancel installation of the game!** I thought I was just canceling the "online" portions! I understand now that Steam is required by many games, as a form of DRM. But, any software claiming to be DRM and requiring connectivity makes me worried. So I really want to know:   * Can I trust this "Steam" DRM (Digital Rights Management) software platform?   * Has anybody done any independent verification on how this platform works? (I'm very leery of any DRM after the Sony BMG CD copy protection scandal. Thank goodness for Mark Russinovich.)   * Does the "Steam" platform install anything particularly nasty or unwanted on my computer?


Do you get Audio Logs in fixed order?

In some games, you get the same message in the same location, and it does not depend on the order you find those locations. In others, you get the messages in correct order (to help with the story flow). Which way Crackdown 2 does it?

Should I kill or avoid enemies, given the opportunity?

In Hitman: Absolution, you can often choose to kill or avoid enemies. There are indirect benefits to both killing (one less pair of eyes to avoid) and sneaking (conserving precious dumpster capacity), but does one provide more tangible rewards than the other - more instinct gain, more unlocks, higher score?


How to I unlock the 3rd item slot for a player in PES 2013?

Can encrypted/password protected USB devices be mounted to a PS3 console and be accessed?

I recently got a PS3 Slim, 120GB model, with 4.13 (or was it 4.31?) installed as the last update. I also only just found out there is no way to password protect your User Account on it, and so your games, files, internet history, movies and other things that I want to only be accessible to _me_. I know that you can take advantage of the Parental Control system and set it to Level 1 to restrict browser use, movies and games, but I'm more concerned about my photos and videos on the HDD. So I thought that I could put them on a USB (the ones I wanted to be accessible to only me) and encrypt it with a passcode, and have it prompt me before opening and exploring. Is this possible at all? Also, as a note: I would be open to installing 3rd-party software to do this or similar.


Do challenges provide any rewards?

At the beginning of a mission, one is presented with a set of challenges which may be completed. Aside from the satisfaction, does completing them provide any tangible benefit?


Is it better to knock enemies out or to murder them?

Some interactions, such as grabbing an enemy from behind cover, allow you the choice of either killing the enemy or knocking them out, and you can always put a bullet in an unconscious enemy's head. Is there any significance to the decision of letting them live or killing them? Will one option offer better rewards than the other?


Can I get back my saved data?

I have got really far in my second profile in skyrim, level 41. It took a long time to get back to that level, because I had got a game-breaking bug on my last profile and I erased it by accident as well as my other messed up profile. Is there anyway to get it back on the Xbox 360? If there isn't, I will not play skyrim again for a very long time and I have no other option. Please help.


Is there any way to avoid the blue-shell in Mario Kart 7?

I'm sure any Mario Karting knows that horrific feelings that comes along with hearing the sound of a blue shell coming ever closer. I recall that in some of the previous games there were methods for avoiding the blue-shell (although they were difficult). ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/N3yMn.jpg) What methods, if any, exist in Mario Kart 7 for avoiding the blue-shell once I know it's coming?


What determines the rustling grass?

Which legendary is extremely hard to catch without using the Master Ball?

In Pokemon Black/White, Reshiram and Zekrom are very easy to capture using Dusk Balls. Usually I can get them in one or 2 shots. With all the other legendaries, I seem to capture them very easily as well. But is there one in particular that just can't be captured without having to use the master ball? It almost seems like a waste just sitting there in my items.
