Should I chase down Squishys in teamfights with Ahri?

My main character is Ahri. I manage to win my lane most of the times, but when it comes to Teamfights in Solo Q I am sometimes not quite sure how to react in teamfights. Because of Ahris Mobility with her Ultimate, I actually interpret her role in teamfights like this: Try to get to the enemy AD / AP Carry asap (with ult if it would take to long), burst him down, support the ongoing fight. Now sometimes my burst isnt enough to kill the carry instantly, but it makes him leave the fight and run away. In this case, should I try to chase him down or should I participate in the ongoing teamfight?


Why did my pills change?

In Binding of Issac Wraith of the Lamb I picked up a Range Down Pill that I already identified. Some time during the play-through it changed to a Range Up Upgrade. I am not sure when it happened or what happened. I know that that the Lucky Foot Item and the PHD can change negative pill effects, but neither one of those items were picked up in this run. Are there any other items that could of changed the pill type? If you hold on to a known negative pill long enough does it change?

How to get two AI civilizations to go to war against each other?

I saw a video that suggested a good tactic is to get two opposing AI civs to go to war with each other, and then to pick off the weaker one near the end of the war. My question is: How _exactly_ do I get two AI civs to fight each other or is it even possible?

How can I use the radio when not in a car?

I stole a car and used the `RB` and `LB` buttons to turn on the radio and tune it to The Mix 107.77. I then started running over pedestrians at high speeds while singing along with Haddaway's _What Is Love_. Unfortunately, while swerving to try to hit someone who appeared to be dressed like a cat, I ran into a building and my car caught fire and exploded. I was pleased to find What Is Love still playing despite the fact that I was now on foot. This was great until The Pharcyde's _Oh Shit_ came on. I simply can't abide by such foul language when I'm murdering random civilians. Is there any way to turn the radio off or change the station without getting in another car?


How to use Dragon's Dogma save to start new game with bonuses in Dark Arisen?

I had Dragon's Dogma, played a bit, then sold it when I realized I wanted Dark Arisen. Then, Dark Arisen came to PS+ and I was in luck! However, it is not all luck. When I sold Dragon's Dogma, I also deleted my save file. I didn't think it mattered since I had barely played, my character was ugly, and I just wanted to start fresh. In Dark Arisen, I still want to start fresh, but I also know you get bonuses if you have a Dragon's Dogma save file. I can download a Dragon's Dogma save, but will that prevent me from starting at the beginning? How can I start at the beginning and get the bonuses? I hope this makes sense. The save in question I'll be using is downloadable from Gamefaqs. Maybe it's not possible to start a new game with an old save file, though. Help!


Are Blue Shift and Opposing Force "canon"?

I know that the two of them are independently developed from Half-Life itself, and based on events that took place during Half-Life, but are the two games considered part of the official Half-Life Canon, or has Valve not formally adopted them as part of the backstory?


How are train breakdown events determined?

Getting heavy into Pocket Trains lately. As one builds up it becomes increasingly more expensive to expand with more rail roads. I'm finding it difficult to build up cash due to an oddly common incident: train breakdowns. My question to you: What things affect how often a train breaks? Is it just the type of train? Or does number of engines and fuel cars have an effect? I'm playing on iOS if that matters.


What is the optimal bedroom size?

My colonists like complaining about... well, everything. Unfortunately, the more things they find to complain about, the lower their loyalty to the colony is. One thing I have noticed a lot of is my colonists complaining about the size of their rooms. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7pus6.jpg) Does this message relate specifically to the room they're in? I generally notice this message a lot when my colonists are sleeping and have experimented with a variety of room sizes (5x6, 3x4, etc) and these all seem to return the same number for the 'Cramped Environment' line. What is the optimal bedroom size?

Can I shoot through Deathtrap?

Due to Deathtrap's love of melee attacks and extreme speed, he very often blocks one or more targets from my sight. Can I shoot through him and damage enemies?

How to configure my Xbox 360 to *always* use the hard drive for saving

I find it annoying that I have to select my hard drive every single time I fire up a game when it asks me where to save (and load) games to (and from). Is there a way to preconfigure that I don't want to select it every single time and set the hard drive to default? Globally would be fine, but it would be okay to do that on a per profile / per game basis too.


Can I purchase any Xbox Live Gold membership card for a family member if I don't know which region they're in?

As per the title, my cousin has an unknown region gamertag/account on his Xbox (or at least, I'm not sure about it 100%). I want to get him a 12 month Gold subscription so he can join me in online gameplay for Christmas (reason why I'm not sure). How would I go about verifying the correct region for the prepaid card purchase? Or do you get ones that are valid worldwide?


What is the effect of customizing your weapon in Warface?

In Warface it's possible to customize your weapon in-game by pressing `C`. You can then choose to add a silencer, scope, etc. I know the silencer reduces the sound of your shots, and the scope gives you a scope when right-clicking. Beside these, is there also an effect on any of the other properties of the weapon? Damage, recoil, etc.?

Is there a special technique to get more Decoration Droids in Tiny Death Star?

I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do in game to increase the amount of decoration droids appearing in my elevator without actually spending bux on them? If there is not, how long would it take to get 35 decoration droids? I read elsewhere that a user got all 35 droids in 1 sitting, however I've been constantly bringing bitizens to their preferred floor for over 2 hours now and have only gotten 8 droids including the free one it gives you. Did the other user play the game for like 10 hours straight or am I doing something wrong? Thanks

What are the stocking time differences relating to the rating of bitizens?

I've recently started accepting bitizens with a rating of 8 now to fill my stores until I find a dream job, as 9's are quite hard to come by. I'm just wondering the time difference % wise how much faster each bitizen is from ratings 1 through 9. I'm wondering this because sometimes I find it really hard to fill up my store but 6's and 7's are VERY common. So the real question is, is it worth it to get and 8/9 or settle with a 6/7 while waiting for a dream job to come along. This information is very important for me as I also need to calculate whether it's worth it to say have a dream job as a low rating of say 2/3 or have a normal worker of 8/9 as maybe even with the x2 stock it's not worth it as say bitizen can stock more than twice as fast with an 8/9.


Minecraft SMP mob statistics

I'm am trying to build a mob farm in Minecraft SMP, but barely any mobs spawn near it. I know there is a limit of 85 hostile mobs for the whole world. But even when I am the only player logged on, I barely see any. Is there any way that I can get information as to how many mobs are spawned, which types they are, or even where they are? I am the server owner so I am able to install a mod if needed.

How do I solve Enigma codes?

I found all Enigma codes, thanks to PowerPyx' collectible guide. All I have to do now is solve them, but how am I supposed to do it? Each code has 2 rows of 9 numbers ranging from 1 to 9. Each row determines the value of a letter ranging from A to J. I tried brute forcing the letters, but from AA to JJ nothing happened. Brute forcing the numbers is going to take forever, since there are one Billion different combinations for them. Finding the collectible Enigma Codes only allows me to set a value for the corresponding number, but it doesn't look like there's a hint to solving it. Exactly how am I supposed to find out how to solve this?

What can I do with my excess skill points?

I have a level 80 character, and I've already unlocked all of my utility skills. At this point I have over 50 unused skill points, and I'm not sure what I should be doing with them. Miyani sells a variety of items in exchange for skill points, but they're all soulbound/account bound. I understand some are required to create legendary weapons or ascended equipment, but I don't plan on pursuing either of those any time soon so I don't have any need to save my skill points for them. Is there any effective way to convert my excess skill points into something more useful, like perhaps money?

What are efficient sources of colored energy hexes throughout the game?

In _Resonance of Fate_ , you can get colored hexes primarily as a drop from human enemies or as a bonus prize after specific overworld battles. Once you figure out where to get each drop, it becomes not too difficult to harvest them... until you advance the plot. In later chapters, enemies in battles are replaced by much more powerful encounters, which not only replaces the drops of the enemies themselves but also affects that bonus prize in overworld battles. _This makes it much harder to get some of the earlier hexes when you're approaching the late game_. My question is, **what are the most efficient ways to harvest the different colored energy hexes throughout the game**? Ideally, I'd like to know not just where they are best found, but during what chapters I can use those sources and what alternatives are available after those points. In particular, the purple energy hex in the diamond shape seems to be almost completely absent at the stage of the game we're at. It is only ever dropped by a single normal enemy (the Outcast STG in the Hughes Power Station), which does still occasionally spawn but is more often replaced by the more annoying Mask Raiders who do _not_ drop purples. Unless we somehow skipped over it, we also have not found any Arena battle that drops purple hexes. And all of the encounters where they used to be dropped (primarily on Level 6) have been replaced with more difficult battles that prefer to give greens instead.

Being the only support , should I ward top and bot lanes at the same time?

I'm not sure where to ward when I end up being the only support in my team. I usually buy them at the start and every time I can after that, only putting them in my lane, both on the rune (top or bot) and the jungle, or both at the same time if I can. After I give one ward to anyone going the opposite lane, should I roam to that lane to ward? should I get one and put one on the courier? should I tp just to ward? I feel like most of them are making me lose time in laning, and the courier option is complicated to remember and communicate in a pub. Is it neccessary to make the effort? or should a team survive the laning phase with only 1 lane properly warded and the other warded from time to time?

How to equalize in-game sensitivity between two FPS games

After playing a F2P FPS game I've decided to train my aim and recently found a guide which shows how to train your aim in CS:GO using harmless bots. After I tried a bit, I realized that I would need the same **in-game** mouse sensitivity between two games because first game had real-time weapon module system which had different scopes with different magnification levels which means different force applied to the mouse in order to line up a shot and reduce recoil. But everything I could find was a guide which barely explains how to make your in-game sensitivity the same as the desktop one. So how do you do It?(If you do It)Do i need macro in order to achieve this? Is this the right method to improve my aim?


In M.U.G.E.N, how do I resize the background in the select screen page?

Hopefully you guys know what M.U.G.E.N is, but I'm going to explain to the people that don't. It's basically a two-dimensional fighting game where you put your own fighters, stages, music, backgrounds and so on. Anyway, recently I got the Black Rock Shooter Screenpack. Everything was fine, but the Selection menu had the background too zoomed in. This caused the picture in the background to appear bigger, and also causing the characters to not appear. Here is shows how the screenpack is supposed to look like. I used my older winmugen to add the missing stuff to the screenpack, like chars., stages, the application itself, etc.. I have been told that I needed to resize everything, but what do I really resize? I know about the select and system file in the data folder, but I don't know what to really look for. I'd appreciate any help.

Do both players need the Lara Croft GoL DLC to play online?

If I buy the Guardian of Light DLC, can I invite my friends to join my game without them having bought it, or do they need to purchase it as well? I was more interested when I thought they were just puzzle maps as they're some of the best co-op bits in the game, but I doubt it would be worth us both buying the packs just for one puzzle map in each pack.


Can enemies that run off screen alert other enemies to your presence?

Some enemies like to run away briefly, before coming back. Others might get feared, and run off screen. Of course, there is also the Treasure Goblins. They try and run from you the moment you start doing damage to them. I have not seen any evidence that the Treasure Goblins running off screen make other enemies come towards you, but that's a bit hard for me to test because when that happens, I'm usually close on the heels of that goblin, anyway. Can enemies that you've aggroed run into other enemies you haven't encountered yet, and cause them to aggro against you?


Are corrupted angels resistant to physical damage?

In Act IV Hell difficulty, I found a pack of champion Vampiric (something else) (something else) Corrupted Angels. My attacks were only hitting them for 1500-2000 when normally my hits are in the 5000-6000 range. I was using a physical-only weapon. After several tries I realized that I could **not** kill them, no matter what I tried. The vampiric healing was more than enough to outdo my wimpy hits. I started paying attention and noticed that the normal Corrupted Angels were only taking about one third of the normal damage as well. I don't think it was a debuff, since I alternated hits against an Angel and then a different mob and could clearly see the difference: 2000, 6000, 2000, 6000, etc. In a later run I didn't see this behavior at all. I noticed I had changed to a fire-based weapon. **Is there some sort of hidden physical damage resistance that corrupted angels have?**

Is there any way to identify enemy vulnerabilities?

I'm wondering if there's any way to identify what an enemy's vulnerabilities are outside of just trying different abilities until you find it.

What does starring a race do?

When you finish a race, there is as icon on the top right of the screen which indicates that you can star the race by hitting +. It seems you can star up to 6 races. What does this actually do?

How do I destroy the Dark Brotherhood?

I'm walking here is Skyrim, and suddenly I get attacked by an assassin. After I barely manage to kill him, I find a note on his remains: > As instructed, you are to eliminate `<PlayerName>` by any means necessary. > The Black Sacrament has been performed - somebody wants this poor fool dead. > > We've already received payment for the contract. Failure is not an option. > > ~ Astrid Obviously, I don't like being marked for death, and would prefer to instead completely destroy Astrid and the rest.


Is the Burst Laser I superior to the Dual Lasers?

In my haste a bought a **Burst Laser I** before fully examining the stats, only to realize afterwards that it was inferior to the **Dual Lasers** I already own. The part I find unusual is that the **Burst Laser 1** is worth _more_ than the **Dual Lasers** even thought the **Dual Lasers** is superior to the **Burst Laser 1.** I find this very unusual, so I thought maybe there was something about the **Burst Laser I** that wasn't listed on the stats, but after doing some testing and crawling through the internet I can't find anything that would suggest the **Burst Laser** is superior than the **Dual Lasers**. The stats for the weapons can be found on the wiki. Is there some hidden stat that makes the **Burst Laser I** superior to the **Dual Lasers** , or is the odd price difference between the **Burst Laser I** and the **Dual Lasers** just that, odd?


What is the assassin's creed?

At some point in every Assassin's Creed game, the creed itself comes up, but I can never remember what it is. I know it has something to do with "everything is permitted" and there's another part about light and dark. Does anyone remember the full assassin's creed and what it means? Also I seem to remember Altair losing a finger during a part of his initiation ritual, and some of the assassins in later games have something done to their fingers (removed?) and I seem to remember this having something to do with the hidden blade. What's the story with the fingers?

When downloading a Wii U eShop game together with the physical copy will it get you twice the save files?

With games like The Wind Waker HD, New Super Luigi U and others, you have at least 3 savefiles. But if you download a new game digitally (through the Wii U eShop) and also buy the physical copy of the game, does it create a separate "channel" for the other version of the game? Thus allowing you to have twice as many save files?


How do I get rid of a guard stuck by the door without killing him or taking him down?

I'm currently doing the last mission for Vittori, where I have to rescue someone. Playing on Master difficulty It didn't take long for me to reach a room with a safe and a guard standing right in front of it. In order to loot the safe, I distracted the guard, but maybe I exaggerated a bit, since he freaked out, opened the door to call his friends, and has remained stuck there ever since.   When they gave up looking for me, I saved out of reflex. I regret that now... Since I'm going for the Moral Victory trophy, I don't want to kill or knock out that guard, but no matter what I do (running and throwing bottles around) he won't move away from that door, which also seems to be the only way to proceed in that particular level, as I haven't found any ventilation shafts so far. From time to time, I even produce enough noise for his colleagues next door to come investigate too. In the end, I even tried running right past the guard (screw remaining undetected), but I can't run past him; he is effectively blocking my way. It seems like the only way to make him move, is by attacking him (after he detects me, so I won't take him down), but I quickly get surrounded by 5 guards and die before I can make that one guard move enough for me to get past that door. It doesn't look like I can restart the mission either, so what can I do?


What are some effective strategies for boarding enemy ships?

When boarding an enemy ship, are there any strategies for killing enemy crew members? Whenever my boarding party corners an enemy, the enemy always fights until they're at low health (taking a fair chunk of my guys' health at the same time) and then runs straight for Medbay. At which point, another enemy standing just outside the door runs in to replace them. I could attack them in Medbay directly, but I've found that's suicide. Is disabling the enemy medbay with ship-mounted weapons the best case then? I usually struggle just to get their shields down. Or could I pile weapons-fire on the combatants (fire beams, anti-bio beams) - or would that harm my crew as well? I know that Mantises have the highest combat stats, but at the minute I'm having to make do with Rocks - my only Mantis crewmember valiantly gave his life attacking a sentry bot.

What factors determine the type of medal (bronze/silver/gold) for event participation?

In an event you can get a bronze, silver, or gold medal for your participation. I've been awarded gold in cases where I came in late and hardly put in any effort, and I've seen bronze when I worked my behind off. **So my question(s):** What factors determine the type of medal awarded? As noted in the comments it may be very hard to give a definitive answer to this question, this is why I rephrased so I'm not asking for a _formula_ , but merely for _whether a factor plays a role or not_ (factors like being in the area or not, participation time, doing damage, etc). If there's no official word about this, then it should still be possible to find an answer through experimentation (e.g. doing the same event twice once _with_ the factor and once _without_ ). **Update:** after re-reading the comment to this question I realize that this question is still a bit too broad, even after my earlier changes. There's easily 10 to 15 potential factors, and 8+ different event types, making for 80 to 120 things to test for. Changing the question to be about just one event type _might_ make it answerable, but would change the meaning too much. The question's interesting (at least, to me) nonetheless, so I welcome any improvements to make it more answerable. Until then, I'm voting to close as well. * * * For reference, borrowed from the GW2 Wiki, this is the medal thing I'm talking about: ![gold medal for an event](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4SeYb.jpg) On that very wiki, the section Event Rewards, on the Dynamic Event page has a formula for the amount of karma received, but no info about how the type of medal is determined. Has anyone experimented with the variables, measured anything, etc? Or is there official info from the makers of GW?

Where are the flies coming from?

I've just started playing Dwarf Fortress, and I'm noticing that at least 75% of my population (now 46 dwarfs) are complaining about flies. I don't see them anywhere, although I do at one point remember seeing a 'swarm of flies'. Google tells me that it's because I'm not putting my food in bins/barrels/containers but look at my stockpiles **ALL** I see are barrels, I started cranking them out specifically because of this. I had thought perhaps that they just had a really long memory, but recent births into my population proves otherwise as the babies appear to have an issue with flies too. What gives?

Does the Season Pass include preorder bonuses like the Mechromancer class?

I have pre-ordered Borderlands 2, giving me the Mechromancer class for free. The season Pass that will come out soon after release will consists of 4 DLC packs. Does the Mechromancer class DLC count as 1 of those DLC packs?


What spells cause the developer to cast black hole?

So I have the purple fin, and I know casting black hole, black demons, and erase magic makes him one shot me with a black hole of his own. Any other tips? I can't afford the scythe yet.


Are the Halo Combat evolved servers for xbox360 active?

What I am asking is, since I am getting my xbox 360 re-installed, and I want to buy the halo combat edition game, but I don't know if there are people who still play that online multiplayer?


What are the working hours of Recycling Centre?

I have two recycling centres with maximum number of modifications and they are constantly congested - their storage of recycled garbage is constantly full or almost full (18-20/20 tons). As a consequence, the recycled garbage trucks are full and don't pick up more garbage which then piles up on the streets. I've been monitoring the situation a bit and it appears that the recycling centres process the garbage only during the day. Is this true / intended? What hours is the recycling centre supposed to be working? Also, quite often the recycling centre stops working entirely.. even though it has room for alloys/plastics/metal in its "output storage" and there are trade depots with appropriate empty lots available and factories out of materials. This appears to be a bug but even when the recycling centre works, it doesn't seem to be doing anything during the night. Or do I simply need more recycle centres? My town has population around 150k. Should I build more of them, three maybe? A friend in the region also sent couple of his trucks, but at times it's still not enough. The normal garbage trucks don't pick up the recycled trash, do they? It would be cool if you could get them to also pick up recycled garbage in case of any problems with recycling centres...


How do I assault a titan with a new character in BF2142?

I've recently picked up a copy of BF2142 and I've played a few games online. I've learnt a lot by watching the other people play but one thing still alludes me. When the shield on an enemy titan fails and there is a mad rush to knock out it's reactor. I don't seem to have the equipment to knock out the shields and the subsequent control panels behind them on my own. I have seen other players (with upgraded classes?) use remote detonators, but I don't have these in any of my classes. Is there any way for a new character to do a titan assault without the extra gear?


Why won't my Rock Band 3 Squier guitar detect when I play the higher strings?

My Fender Squier Rock Band 3 Guitar and Controller often doesn't register when I pluck the thinner strings, especially the thinnest one (at the bottom of the guitar, but which produces the highest notes). I can't use my pick to pluck them, I have to do it by hand, and pluck very hard indeed. Is something wrong? Is my guitar broken?


What's a good strategy for determining the type of my pokemon's Hidden Power?

Pokemon Black and White has all new pokemon, and honestly, I'm not familiar enough with the game yet to tell you where you can find which pokemon. This is a problem, because I'm looking for a fast way to calculate Hidden Power in- game (I am aware that you can use IV calculators to determine what hidden power you have, but given the nature of IVs, you're outta luck for that method if your pokemon isn't already a reasonably high level and/or you've been keeping track of its EVs as well.) Back in Emerald, for instance, I could reliably find Poochyena / Mightyena to test if Hidden Power was Psychic, Fighting/Bug, Dark/Ghost. I could then go find a Wurmple to determine if my Fighting/Bug result (super-effective against the Poochyena) was Fighting (also super-effective against the wurmple) or Bug (normal strength). However, new version, new critters, my old plan no longer works; there aren't any poochyena in the game (or at least, not yet). Which common wild pokemon can I use to narrow down on the correct type of Hidden Power? (Assume I have access to Fly, and White, if it matters.)


How to fix the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Multiplayer crash on startup?

I have installed _Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare_ on my Windows machine. The single player mode works perfectly, but when I try to run COD4 Multiplayer it crashes on startup. Windows then shows the following error message: > `iw3mp.exe` has stopped working. What can I do to fix this? * * * **Disclaimer:** I’ve made this thread to collect the various solutions to this problem that are scattered across the interwebs. Please add an answer if you have an alternative solution! All the solutions posted below have apparently fixed the problem for many people, but not for me — so I’m still looking for a solution to play CoD4 on my new gaming PC.


How To Pick Up on the Warning Signs of Someone Who Wants to Kill Me

Recently, I picked Diablo 2 back up and have been playing lots of hardcore online. Once I get past the normal difficulty, I get extremely wary of other players and for some reason I think everyone is out to TK me. I really enjoy playing with others but the constant thought looming in the back of my mind that someone might be toying with me gives me the willies and takes the fun out of it. As a result, I usually just end up playing in solo, passworded games during Nightmare and Hell difficulties. So, I come to you Gaming community, with a plea for help to help me enjoy Diablo 2 hardcore again without worrying. What are the telltale signs of someone that has the intention of TKing? I'm familiar with the whole "TP out, Hostile, TP in, kill" and other similar tactics, but I'm looking more for how I can spot a TKer before it happens so I can look out for it. Additionally, what are some of the lesser-known tactics they use that I could look out for?


What do the Hull Stats mean?

I've just started playing SPAZ, and I'm trying to work out which ship hulls I should use. More specifically:   1. Stats like "Hull Strength" and "Hull Mass" don't seem to be explained anywhere (unless I've missed something). Please detail what each stat means. ( **EDIT:** the above were examples, I'm really looking for the details of all the stats, not just those two)   2. I can't tell if these stat bars are relative to other ships of all sizes, or only for the ships of the same hull size.   3. Should I always choose larger ships when I have the cash?


Dragon Age playthrough required before DA2?

I preordered Dragon Age 2, but I have never played Dragon Age:Origins. Am I going to be lost? My plan is to eventually play the first one, but should I do this before I start the sequel? Are there going to be a save-game import feature for the sequel?


What determines whether we go to Friendship Gulag?

I've joined several games on the Roland rescue mission ("A Dam Fine Rescue"), and: > some times Roland is rescued in Friendship Gulag instead of in Bloodshot > Ramparts What determines this outcome? Is it randomized for each game? Does it involve a plot decision I missed?


How do you 'outsmart 200 spiders' in Cut the Rope?

In Cut the Rope on iPhone, I have most of the achievements, except for "Spider Tamer" (outsmart 200 spiders) and "Calorie Minimiser" (lose candy 200 times). But I'm sure I should have both. I do have the lesser achievements (outsmart 40 spiders and lose candy 50 times). So I want to know exactly what constitutes outsmarting a spider? Is it just cutting a rope that the spider is on? Or do you need to successfully complete the level each time, or something else? And do the achievements need to be on multiple levels or only one? I've been playing 3-11 repeatedly just cutting the spider's ropes but no awards yet :(


Where can I order thumbsticks for my PS3 dualshock 3 controller?

My son has a nervous habit of chewing on the PS3 controller's thumbsticks during cut-scenes. One day, he actually ripped the top of it off. Glue worked for awhile, but the top eventually came off again. **Where can I find/order new thumbsticks for my controller?** It seems a shame and a waste to drop $40+ on a new controller. **Update:** The thumbsticks are model number NXPR3R-004, and work with both PS2 and PS3. Armed with this, a Google search turns up a lot of options.


How do you defeat big spiderants?

How do you deal with big spiderants? They take basically no damage unless you hit them in the abdomen. And the big ones are hard to disorient. I'm playing hunter, so sniper rifles and revolvers are my most used guns.


How does one find anything that isn't human or a monster in adventure mode?

I seem to have a problem finding non-human races that are willing to talk. I've tried finding the dwarves, and there was nothing at the place they're supposed to be. I tried finding elves... Well, I guess I found the forest retreat but there were no elves. I tried finding the GOBLINS, but where it says the dark fortress is, there is nothing. And no matter how many times I try, how many different worlds I try in, and how many different sites I try, I can't find anything. Could someone help me understand what's happening and maybe understand how to find one? I'm using Dwarf Fortress v0.31.18, SDL.


How do I get a nether portal working in multiplayer?

My friend is running a server on Beta 1.8 and we can't get to the nether. I'm confused, since everywhere I've read says you've been able to do that since Beta 1.6. Any ideas?


Is gold only used for sacrificing?

In Sword of Fargoal for the iPhone, you can find gold scattered around the dungeon. There are also various temples where you can sacrifice your gold for experience.

Mass Effect 2: New Game Plus

After finishing the story of Mass Effect 2, we get the choice to continue to complete the different/unfinished missions throughout the game or to import our character and play through a new game at our current saved level and power stats. I have noticed that I do not level up at all during my new playthrough. I gain Paragon/Renegade points to help me with conversations but not at any stage have I leveled up. My powers and all characters no longer level up and gain power points. I only ask because I was able to play playthrough after playthrough in Mass Effect 1 and continued to level up; this is not happening in Mass Effect 2. If you know the answer, is that the way it is when you import your ME2 character after a playthrough or is my game/system messed up? Thank you to anyone who can help me with this. I have searched elsewhere but have found no answers at all.


How can I prevent injuries?

In FIFA 12 Ultimate Team, my players get injured a lot, sometimes 3 players in the same match. I figured a good fitness value would prevent this, but now I am not even sure those two are related. How can I effectively prevent injuries in FUT?


How do you share DLC across multiple profiles?

I have purchased DLC on my profile and I am able to access it fine but my brother wants to have access to the DLC on his profile. The DLC is located on the same system but I can't seem to find a way to share it. Is there a way?


Making money through trading players?

FIFA 12 Ultimate Team offers a cool auction system, where you can buy and sell players and items either through bidding or fixed prices ("buy now"). I have a few related questions:   * Is it possible to make good money (coins) through clever trading? As you have to pay for every bid you make (you have a limited amount of bids, which you can refill with coins) and the prices probably regulate itself pretty good, I could imagine that it might not be really profitable, even if you know what you are doing.   * If it is, what are good strategies? Which items are easy to buy at low prices and sell at high prices? Is it better to look for rare players with low "buy now" prize for example, or buy stuff like balls? Will some items grow a lot of value over time?   * Are there times of the day where the prices are generally lower/higher on the market?   * Are even bad rare items worth keeping because there will be collectors who want a complete edition later?   * What's the best strategy to win an auction? Bid early to throw off others? Bid last minute?   * Any other tips? I know an advice given here might well change the market and get useless in the process, but as not many FIFA players are on gaming.SE yet, I guess it's worth a shot. ;)


Dragon Quest IX: Skill to prevent enemies from escaping?

Is there a class skill in Dragon Quest IX to prevent enemies from escaping? If so which class?


Dodging the Computer Virus's attacks

For those unfamiliar with the game, in Kirby Super Star, one of the bosses is called the Computer Virus, which is more or less an RPG style thing where you take turns attacking each other (while the boss is attacking you it's invulnerable, and it won't attack when it is vulnerable). Anyway, watching a youtuber do a no guard (and no ability) run of the arena, he claimed that the boss's star attack is undodgeable in the boss's first and third forms (the magician and dragon). If possible I'd like some verification. Is it possible to dodge the stars attack in the first and third forms of the Computer Virus without an ability or guarding? Here's the video of the fight requested. (The video description contains a thorough description of the difficulties of the computer virus fight without abilities/guarding, as well as lots of cursing, you have been warned.)


Can I run both Windows and Linux Dwarf Fortress from the same directory?

The reason I'm asking this is because I want to play Dwarf Fortress mainly on my main Windows computer, but I'd also like to be able to continue the same save from my Linux VPS. I already know how to synchronise the folder, but I'm just wondering if I might run into any trouble by running both Windows and Linux executables from the same source.


Looking for details on mob hitboxes

I recently acquired Torchlight as a part of the Humble Bundle, and I've been loving it. (much better than the Diablo-3 disappointment, grumble grumble...) I have, however, been running into issues with mis-clicks on monsters. Sometimes I hit the monster when I meant to move, and sometimes I move when I meant to hit the monster. Looking carefully, it almost looks like the monster hitbox is defined by the square of floor that it's occupying rather than the monster's model itself. Is this correct? Can anybody tell me how the hitboxes are defined for mobs in Torchlight? Bonus points if I could get a similar description for Torchlight 2.


Are expansion civs/natural wonders more likely?

I've played several games of Civ 5 with the Gods and Kings expansion, and it seems like every game has involved a similar cast of characters (Austria, Sweden, Byzantium) as well as many of the new natural wonders (the ones that give faith). This was interesting to see the new content, but now it is getting a bit repetitive. Am I correct in thinking that expansion content is more likely to appear than non-expansion content? Is there some way to modify this so that everything is equally likely?


How should I move the Wiimote to fight Bokoblins?

Bokoblins are a very common enemy in Skyward Sword, and they're clever enough to anticipate your swings and block them. I'd like to kill them in a much smoother fashion than I have been. What movements do Bokoblins read, and how can I ensure I always swing where they're vulnerable?


How do I build a deck in Magic The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers?

Can the query.port setting be the same as the Minecraft server port?

There is a property in the Minecraft server.properties file allowing you to specify a query port for the server: `query.port`. Can this be the same as the server's listening port? If I have my Minecraft server listening on 25565, can the query port be the same or does it have to be different?


Can I make pistons retriggerable?

...by any other means than madly pulsing their input? The picture illustrates my problem. ![Piston blocked](http://i.stack.imgur.com/5kJzZ.png) The piston was powered up when both spaces between it and the obsidian block were filled with cobblestone. This is perfectly expectable. Now I broke the second piece of cobble, and I'd expect the piston to move the other block. It does not. How can I get the piston to act in this situation? (This is a reduced testcase. In my case the situation is more complex; there is a queue of stones blocked, waiting until needed. A piston pushes a block out of the front of that queue on demand, and the location after the removed block should immediately fill as soon as the "on demand" piston retreats. This doesn't happen because the queue even stopped momentarily, is stuck forever.)


How to activate the Elite Soldier Pack for XCOM PC Version

I honestly tried all common sense approaches to activating the Elite Soldier Pack for my PC DVD version of XCOM - Enemy Unknown and have not managed to do it. The leaflet that comes in the box says that once I install the game, I should "redeem my Soldier Pack with the following code" (I'm guessing on Steam Service), but I've found no such option on Steam, if I click the DLC button on Steam it says there's no DLC for this game, and also trying the "redeem" option in the upper menu of the Steam client and entering the code on the Elite Soldier leaflet didn't work (says code is invalid). So please, if anyone has bought the PC DVD version and than has managed to activate his Elite Soldier Pack, can you please tell me how you did it?


How does Line Of Sight work?

I'm a little confused by how the LOS system works. On a few occasions I've had my units be attacked when I thought they should be hidden from the enemy. I do not mean just in Full Cover since I understand that doesn't confirm complete protection. I'm talking about instances where my units are on the other side of a raised area that should have entirely blocked sight. One notable occasion had an alien attack one of my units when a fountain stood between them, along with two or three steps upwards making the fountain area a very high section. Are there any tools, options or recommendations on how to better judge my troops visibility?


Changing the available powers of squadmates

Has anyone seen a way to mod the available squadmate powers? For example: replacing Kaidan's reave ability with shockwave. I've poked around in coalesced editors, and so far I've only succeeded in changing the squadmate's powers descriptions in the squad selection screen by changing items under the "selectinfos" line in bioui (coalesced editing). I know that it's possible to reassign talent points and pick a bonus power within the game. I want to add a whole new power to an ally.


Would your character lose crafting skill levels when switching guilds?

Take this example scenario... You have level 100 in Cooking and 60 in Woodworking. Visit Woodworking guild to switch to Woodworking; this should but a cap on Cooking, setting to effectively be level 60. Then, you level up Woodworking up to 100. Finally, visit the Cooking guild and switch back to Cooking. Will your Cooking skill be restored to 100, or will it have degenerated down to 60?


Does the ADDITIONAL GUNS option in Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business effect the difficulty of the game?

In Jagged-Alliance-2: Unfinished Business there is an option to add additional guns to the game. Does this increase the difficulty of the game (Say by giving your opponents better weapons while leaving your starting weapons the same), decrease it (Give you better starting weapons, give you more options latter on) or not really effect the difficulty of the game?


How do I survive the opening of Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business?

I got Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business on GoG.com a while back, as it was on sale and I heard it was similar to X-COM. I recently installed it, and while it seems interesting I can't survive the opening battle, even on Easy. I'm attempting to use cover, firing from prone, concentrating fire on 1-2 opponents at a time and taking the mercs recommended in the manual and yet the last time I tried I lost everyone but 2 mercenaries in my first battle. What am I likely doing wrong? Am I supposed to run from the first fight after the helicrash and build up strength? The manual says to enter the area and fight.

Where can I find a bard singing "Three Hearts as One?"

So I found this bard song on Youtube and I really like it. This would be the song by the way. But now I want to listen to it in game (the main reason is because I wonder what it sounds like in german) and I wonder where I can find a bard that plays this song. Can It be found in every tavern or only in a certain city. Also does it even exist in other languages besides english because I can't find anything on the internet.


Is it worth it to shoot at the rocks in Beat Hazard?

When asteroids begin to swarm on the screen in Beat Hazard, what I usually do is dodge them so I can rack up multiplier through Dare Devil. This allows me to score more points when ships come on screen. However, by doing this, I miss out on the generous amount of points that can be scored by shooting the rocks down (I usually use superbombs for this purpose as it doesn't count as a shot for Dare Devil purposes). This changes in the last 15 seconds, where I instead decide to scrape the last points up by blowing up rocks. Is my strategy suboptimal? Do I lose points if I blow rocks with a bomb instead of regular weaponry?

How do I kill zombies in Minecraft and not get hurt?

Is there a smart way of disposing zombies and not losing like 2-3-4-5 hearts in the process? No matter how far you are, they always seem to reach further than you can which sucks... :S zombies should be short range not snipers.. Ok, so is there a specific tactic that works? A specific timing to hit them and not get hit? (except bow and arrow..) thank you


Can any Pokemon learn False Swipe, Mean Look, and a move to inflict paralysis or sleep?

I am going after the roaming pokemon in Pokemon SoulSilver, and they are a nuisance to catch. I need Mean Look to ensure that they don't immediately run, False Swipe to hurt it as much as possible without fainting it, and a move to paralyze them or put them to sleep to catch them. At the moment, this means using three Pokemon, which is a nuisance as it wastes time switching between them. Are there any Pokemon that can learn this combination of moves?


How many pink (purple) cubes are there?

In Antichamber, I have found little purple cubes in some secret areas. ![A purple cube hiding behind green cubes](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jmw33.jpg) Each time, the little purple cube was alone, started moving as I got closer, and escaped.

Battlefield 3 PC black screen with sounds

Since the last patch of Battlefield 3, I can't play it because the screen is black, but I can hear sounds in the background. I tried to repair the installation from Origin, but it doesn't resolve the problem. I think the issue is related to the fact that I have a Russian version of the game patched with the English language, but I don't know how to fix the problem. I have a notebook: 1st generation Core i7, 4GB RAM, GeForce 420M (last driver). How can I fix this problem?

Is it possible to load games in Civ V multiplayer?

My friends and I enjoy playing Civilization V multiplayer.

In the Luna 9 tutorial on the KSP wiki, it says: > To keep track of how much time you have left, set a maneuver point on the > surface. How do I go about setting a maneuver point on the surface? I can't set the Mun as a target, so presumably that's not what it's talking about.


Is it possible to remove specific quests in Skyrim with mods?

I want to do a replay of Skyrim, but I don't want to play the same quests again, as I'm tired of them. Is there a mod that will let me remove the quests I don't want to play? I'd probably supplement the game with community-created quests.


Getting to Terramorphous Peak Cult of the Vault symbol?

I've been trying to get to the Cult of the Vault symbol that's "under the platform you drop down from to enter the arena with Terramorphous" (description taken from this question), and have found some videos showing how to get to them if you have a friend in your game. However, I mostly play alone, so the trick shown in the video isn't really an option for me. I've tried to get Terramorphous or his tentacles to knock me up to the symbol, but haven't had any success so far. Has anyone ever got to the symbol while playing solo, and if so how? Does a reliable method of getting knocked up to the symbol by Terramorphous even exist? Edit 12/25: I'm playing on the PC, so I also don't have the option of using a guest player in splitscreen to reproduce the trick shown in the video.

Tesseract Pulling from Multiple Chests to Multiple Locations

Okay, so I am having some issues with Tessearcts form Thermal Expansion 3 in Minecraft. The tesseracts are set correctly with their settings, sending side set to sending on frequency 1 and receiving end set to receive on frequency 1. I know they both work because if I hook up a single chest with items required by the receiving line of machines, it works fine. So I know the receiving side works just fine. The sending side of the Tesseract, with one chest, works fine. But as soon as I connect a second chest with different items in it not currently required by the receiving side, it no longer works properly and the entire system gums up and then shuts down sending any items at all. So Chest->TE ItemDucts->Tesseract Works And Chestx2->TE ItemDucts->Tesseract Works when items in both chests have a destination on the receiving side. But Chestx2->TE ItemDucts-Tesseract does not work when one item is not required or is full by the receiving sides machines. Sending Side: 3 chests, bonemeal, bloodwood saplings, lettuce seeds. Example ... Farm 1 requires: Bonemeal and Saplings, Farm 2 requires Bonemeal and Lettuce Seeds. When the first farm is full on saplings and both farms are full on bonemeal, but still needs lettuce seeds, the entire system gums up from sending anything else and the ends of the ItemDucts become stuffed and nothing will move from any chest even if it is or becomes required on the other side. Ideally, I am looking for a way to have all my farms supplies hooked up to one tesseract sending point, where each farm will receive the items it needs via its tesseract. But because not all the farms do not receive the same items, it does not work as the sending side gums up as the pipes become stuffed. Note: I have tried setting the sending side to Send&Receive and put pipes from the tesseract back into the chest to try and manager the overflow issue, but it does not work either. Can you help me with this issue? Why wont my tesseract pull from a needed chest when another chest of items not needed is present on the line?

For some reason, I was doing bail missions but when I was done with them, I don't know what to do. I have no missions or strangers for Trevor. I did the bail missions after Mr. Phillips on my PS3. What shall I do?


Can affection be lost when the affection reward mechanism is triggered?

When the pokemon has sufficient hearts in the new affection mechanism in pokemon-amie, sometimes events such as surviving with 1HP occur during battle. When this happens, one heart floats up and away from the pokemon. Is this a "spending" of a "heart resource" that after a certain threshold would cause one heart to be lost in the pokemon-amie? I've stopped petting/feeding/playing with that particular pokemon to find out but I can't conclude anything yet because I've not triggered the in-battle event many times. Has anyone lost a heart in pokemon-amie? Is it possible to?


Lowering visible and actual amount of hearts player has

If you've ever played Rocket Rumble on the Antvenom server, which is a great game, you'd notice that the player has, only **three** visible hearts, or to be technical, six. Here's a picture:   ![](http://i.imgur.com/l5kcZ9z.png) Now, as you can see, the player has only three visible, or six actual hearts. What I'm interested in doing is lowering the health of a player to five visible hearts. Is this possible? Or is it just plugin trickery?


My Map Wont Grow

I am playing on a LAN minecraft and after a while needed a map, but when I went to make the bigger to see more, it only increased once, no matter how many times I went to make it. Is this a glitch or just a new map size or what? I have tried making a new one and it suffers from the same problem.


How often do harvesting spots recharge?

Scattered around the map, I've found a few harvesting spots where I can collect free resources. The tooltip says to "check back often" to see if harvesting is available. I've found that they don't recharge daily or even at the same time. So how do they recharge? Is it a certain amount of time since they were collected from? Is it a certain number of battles fought? Is it random? ![Harvesting spot screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Wty4P.jpg)

Can i play a downloaded UK Title on my Australian PS3

I normally buy games as physical media however a while back Black Rock Shooter came out digitally only in the UK and not Australia and for me to play it i had to get a second PSP to register to my UK PSN Account in order to play Black Rock Shooter. Battle Princess of Arcadias has too, only been released in the UK and is digital but unlike the PSP i can have a UK and Australian PSN accounts on my PS3 and all my UK DLC (like that for Agarest Generations of War) works just fine, i'm quite sure i've registered the console with my Australian PSN account. i am wondering, would i be able to download Battle Princess of Arcadias onto my PS3 from the UK Account and still be able to play Australian Downloaded games (like Okami)

Why do Terran players use the Marine blob micro move?

In replays, I see Terran players using Marine blobs to have the marine move a bit then attack then move a bit then attack then move a bit then attack. What is the reason for doing this micro? Are there other micro moves for Terran infantry?


How was I supposed to know the order to hit the switches in Sky Keep?

I just finished the last temple in Skyward Sword, Sky Keep. In one of the rooms (the one inspired by Eldin) there are three switches you have to hit in order for the locked gate to open. I couldn't figure out what the required order of hitting the switches were, so I had to brute force my way to the solution: 2-1-3 (if I'm not mistaken). How was I supposed to know this without guessing? Were there any clues that I didn't catch?


In what ways can I get the Group Hug achievement with the New Heroes DLC?

The achievement **Group Hug** reads `Raised a Hero of each type to Level 70`. After the game released on Steam, they released the New Heroes DLC, which gives you access to gender-swapped versions of the original 4 classes who have different activated abilities. This is a table showing which of the New Heroes are equivalent to the originals:                Original     New Heroes DLC            Squire         Countess        Monk          Initiate      Apprentice       Adept      Huntress         Hunter      With that in mind, I need to know if I only get **Group Hug** for leveling the original 4 classes to 70, or can I mix and match for example, a Squire, Initiate, Apprentice and Huntress and still get the achievement? Or would I have to use all 4 from either the original group or the New Heroes DLC, by which I mean _either_ leveling the Squire/Monk/Apprentice/Huntress _or_ Countess/Initiate/Adept/Hunter together?


Where are Multiplayer Profiles Stored?

Are multiplayer profiles stored locally with my gamer tag on my console? Or are they stored on the games host server? For example if I recovered my gamer tag on another console to play Crysis 2 or Halo will I have to start from scratch again or will my multiplayer profile be transferred over?


Is it more profitable to put crafted items onto Auction?

I've now got my crew skills and I am crafting items to level it up. Now that I have access to the Galactic Market, would I be better off putting the items on there than selling them to a merchant? I think that because they are still low level, starter items, there isn't much point. Has anyone sold much stuff on the Market yet, or is it still too soon?


What can I do if my Steam client gets clogged with nearly-complete downloads?

This has already happened to me several times, and I find it rather annoying. I'll be downloading some game on steam, and once a few single MBs remain do be downloaded, the download will suddenly hang, perhaps downloading a few bytes here and there. This issue may be related to heavy load on steam's servers (recent bundles, and holidays, probably caused a load spike), so there may be nothing to do other than wait patiently. Still, I was downloading the last few MBs of _Really Big Sky_ for three whole days and if there's anything active I can do to work around this issue, that would be great.

Is evolving with two level 2 cards better than evolving with a level 1?

Someone has told me that evolving with two cards that have been previously evolved will give you better stats than if one of them has never been evolved _(so, using four cards total to get the final card, rather than the usual three)_. I can't find anything online to back that up. Is it true?


Does it get harder to farm silver & experience after beating the final boss?

In Prime World Defenders you can always go back and replay previous levels rather than progressing the story, and you get a little bit of experience and silver for doing so. Starting from when you reach the first boss level, however, you have another option: three randomly generated "farming" levels (easy, medium, and hard) appear, offering better silver and experience than you would get from replaying an old level as well as a chest, and being replaced by a new randomly generated level when beaten. I'm at the final boss level, and I think I can take him, but there are still quite a few towers I'd like to finish leveling up. If I beat the final boss, will the easy/medium/hard farming levels still be available, or will I have to make do with replaying previous story levels to get more silver & experience?


How can I skip, or at least speed up, the DLC check in Borderlands 2?

Yeah, I would love to know how to skip this check too.

Can I abandon my Kerbonaut in space?

My little Kerbonaut is currently circling the planet in a stable orbit, and seems to be having a grand ol' time with it. You should see the smile on his face. He's been circling now for what looks like 5 days, and is still smiling. Poor little guy doesn't know what I have in store for him. I could bring him down. I mean, he does have some science for me that I need for the next upgrade, but that doesn't sound like as much fun. I'm pretty proud of the little guy for making orbit. **Can I just leave him up there forever, or will he eventually die of starvation or something?** And if I do leave him up there, and decide to one day retrieve him (dead or alive) can I dock with that and extract him and (more importantly) my science from the ship, even though it doesn't have any docking equipment?


What is the plot id/flag for the survival of the grissom academy students in mass effect 3 for the ME 3 editor?

At the very end of Jack's mission at Grissom Academy, you choose whether to send the students on the front lines, or use them as support roles. Sending them to the front line has them killed at the end, but they live if they're support roles. If anyone knows the plot flag or id to do this, it'd be really helpful


What are the highest level 80 armour values?

Now that I've reached lv80 I'd like to pickup some lv80 armour items to round out my character. I'm currently using lv70-76 exotics and rares. So far I can only see three viable options,   1) Orr karma vendors - save up 252k karma and buy a set.   - Gates of Arah medium coat has 338 armour   2) Order armour - 8g8s   - Medium coat has 299 armour   3) Craft some armour   - This option I'm not sure of, or what armour values it has. My leatherworking is about 279 at time of writing  Please can someone show me the various 'tiers' of lv80 armour, where to get them and how much they cost?   I've been poking about on this page, but the information is sparse. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_armor_sets


Can I ensure one son becomes vassal of another when I die?

I'm currently using Gavelkind succession, and it looks like I might not have a chance to change it before I die. I currently have 2 sons and hold 2 duchies, so when I die they'll each get one - Obviously, I'd much prefer that not happen, and ideally I want the younger to be a vassal of the elder. Is there any way at all to arrange this? I've read a suggestion elsewhere to give all my titles to my oldest son before death, but I'm not allowed to hand out the duchies since they're my highest titles. If my younger son inherits one of the duchies, but I've given my elder son all of the counties inside that duchy, then what happens? I guess The younger son inherits the title, but the elder son gets a de jure claim? And if he presses the claim he can declare war, but how does war work when one side has no demense or vassals, and hence no troops?

What's the back-story in Fez?

I've been trying to piece together the backstory of FEZ - this is where I'm up to... There are 4 races in FEZ:   * _Visitors_ - these appear as floating heads with 3 eyes and 3 tentacles.   * _Long-heads_ - these have long heads and one eye, they're only seen in pictures.   * _Big-heads_ - you can talk to these but they have a different language.   * Gomez's species - only seen in the starting village. Firstly, according to a blackboard in a classroom in Gomez's village: ![Evolution of Gomez](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rJt78.jpg) It looks like the long-heads and big-heads are ancestors of Gomez's people. I think that the long-heads were primitive ancestors that lived purely in 2D:   * Their village is flat and the rooms there cannot be rotated.    * They hunted animals (shown by one wall) and worshipped owls (shown by another), possible because the owls could see in 3D already.  ![Owl mural](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7DrSI.jpg) The big-heads are harder to figure out, and I think visiting them might involve some time travel. There are two big-head villages:   * _Under construction village_ - this is populated and covered with scaffolding. It has the working stargate in it.   * _Ruined village_ - this is empty and overgrown, but almost identical. I think that these are the same village before and after a catastrophe:   * The populated village has a working stargate and a mural room that shows the visitors giving the stargate to the big-heads. ![Primitive big-heads](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AR0Cy.jpg) ![Visitors arrive through gate](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hY3XL.jpg) ![Visitors give stargate to big-heads](http://i.stack.imgur.com/uEmzK.jpg) ![Big-head king has 3rd eye and stargate](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ceeH7.jpg)   * The classroom in that village shows a visitor holding the number 3, implying that visitors showed the big-heads about the third dimension too.   * The ruined village has a mural that shows the stargate being built and then in its destroyed state.   * The ruined village's stargate is destroyed by the space-holes, perhaps implying that's how they've come into the world? I think the visitors and the owls are related somehow, but I'm not sure how? Were the visitors destroyed by the same catastrophe? If I'm right about the time travel then Gomez is going back in time to complete the game, and it's possible that in doing so he causes the disaster that destroys the big-head village. If I'm wrong then what is going on?


Just Cause 2 pipeline Computer hacking failures

I am playing Just Cause 2 on my PC via my Steam account and I am at the stage where I have to hack the pipe line computers. I start the hack with four numbers displayed(e.g. 1 2 4 3).

Error: TDS - cannot watch scenes or see levels via menu options

I can no longer see the scenes or levels. Also the bitizens log is empty. It seems to reset every time on opening; asks if I want to allow push notifications each time; plays the music even when I've set it to no music. When the bitizens with question marks appear it shows a message (scenes opened if delivered to correct level). It tells me I've achieved awards every time - such as the dream job achievement and having over $100,000. Can this be fixed? If so, how? It happened on my phone (had to reset) so started from scratch on my Nexus 7. 62 floors/85 bitizens so would rather not start over!


Can I return a game I activated through Steam and bought from GameFly, and get a refund if I have never downloaded it to my PC?

I recently bought a game though GameFly, and I never actually downloaded the game. Now I would like to get a refund. May I return and get a refund, and if so then how do I go about getting my refund? If not, what other alternatives are there? Such as Steam trading, etc. I just want my money back, or most of it. Another possible alternative would be to exchange it for a different game. Can I do this? Thank you.

Most Efficient Way To Mine Cobblestone

This Question neatly describes the best way to mine for incredibly rare ores. This is all well and good. I don't want the rare stuff though, as crazy as that sounds. I want stacks upon stacks upon STACKS of cobblestone to build myself a sprawling elaborate stone fortress. I am aware that Cobblestone Generators exist, but I feel my one-block-at-a- time generator is incredibly inefficient, and especially so when, half of the time, my cobblestone falls into the lava and I have to wait for a new one to appear. I also feel like it's distinctly possible that "just digging' may be my best bet, but I keep running into massive blocks of dirt and gravel that annoy me to no end. So, what is the quickest, easiest, and most efficient way to mine a ton of cobblestone?


Does the iOS version of Chrono Trigger put save games in the cloud?

I am interested in purchasing _Chrono Trigger_ for iOS, but before investing in the game was trying to ascertain if save games were placed in the cloud1. I have a variety of iOS devices and can never be sure which one I'm going to have with me. Ideally my game progress would not tied to anyone device. Even though the game is listed as Game Center compatible the feature bullet doesn't elaborate in what way. Are _Chrono Trigger_ save games pushed to the cloud so that games in progress can be resumed from any iOS device? 1. I too hate the cloud marketing buzz word, but couldn't think of a more appriopriate term. :(

How do pirates behave towards you when you are not the current target of their raid?

For example: another player, 'Player A', currently has the highest bounty, and the pirates are now raiding a planet or asteroid controlled by them. If I also attack and send my ships to the planet or asteroid controlled by 'Player A' that the pirates are raiding, will the pirate ships there be hostile to me or will they not attack my ships, and only proceed to attack 'Player A'? What if I also have a bounty (but not the highest)? Also, how do pirate ships or structures behave towards a player's ships or structures if that player has no bounty and is not being raided? Note: I'm playing the _Rebellion_ expansion.

What happened to Handsome Jack?

Major spoilers in this question, so beware if you have yet to finish the game! The question isn't so much about what happens to _him_ since the ending is pretty unambiguous in that respect, but rather, what happened to... > his face. Throughout the game you can see the metal clips around his face, > which is even a different colour to the skin on his forehead and neck. At > the end, after he dies, the mask comes off and you see his real face, with > one eye burned and all horrible. Most intriguing is the massive Vault symbol > scar, as it looks more like a strip of metal embedded in his skin rather > than a scar. You can see his face here. Is there any reference as to what happened here? Is some past event mentioned or anything? I don't remember hearing anything about it as I was a bit surprised when I found out about it towards the end.


From under what blocks can daylight sensors detect sunlight?

I'm looking for a good block to cover up my daylight sensor that would look nice with my build design. I had read the Wiki page on it and tested a few blocks that I thought would have worked, some did (glass and carpets), and some didn't (slabs, stairs, and pistons). Also, how was SethBling able to do this (you'll see it at around 1:00), the Daylight Sensor has a solid block (red wool) above it: Could someone please come up with a list of blocks that daylight sensors can be placed under, and still detect sunlight? Please note if they decrease the light level as well.


Will the last 4 chapters in Final Fantasy XIII really take me around 28 hours to complete?

I am currently halfway through Chapter 10 in Final Fantasy XIII and my most recent save file claims that I have already been playing for around 22 hours. I have beaten Cid Raines. According to the website howlongtobeat.com in order to complete the game you need to spend on average around 50 hours. Does this really mean that the last 3 and a half chapters will take me another 28 hours to complete? What will take me that long? Is the save file indicator an accurate estimation of how long I've been playing?


How to update the Baldur's Gate engine to the latest version without installing Baldur's Gate 2?

Which DDO classes are optimal or sub optimal to play as a Half-Orc?

I was thinking of playing a half-orc character in DDO but realised that I'm not sure which classes are good or bad to play as a half-orc. Half-orcs have low Charisma so Sorcerer/Paladin/Bard seems to be contraindicated. They have high Strength so melee seems to be favoured, but what about enhancements? Which of the DDO classes are a good choice for a half-orc and which are a bad choice?


How do I get the maximum amount of Dark Essence out of my kills?

While playing, I noticed that different ways of killing the maybe-not-quite- innocent net me different amounts of Dark Essence. For example, simply shooting a guy seems to be worth less Essence than straight-up brutalizing him with an execution move, but doing so doesn't allow me to eat his heart, which is also worth bonus Essence. What should I consider if I want the maximum amount of Essence, and thus, upgrades, out of my playthrough?


Do Delvin and Vex's Jobs Hinder Any Further Quests in Windhelm?

I am in my second play through Skyrim. I am trying to catch all the things I missed in the first play through. But this play through I completed Blood on the Ice quest first. It was bugged in my last play through. My one miss was this link, I need to finish 125 Delvin and Vex quests to get a safe in the Guild along with the other models on display. Let me explain, my last play through I was unable to purchase Hjerim (sided with the Imperials + Blood on the Ice quest never triggered.) I plan on siding with the Imperials again this time also, but after the main quest. My question is I have been asked to plant evidence by Vex into say Clan Cruel- Sea, or Shatter-Shield for that matter, if I do that, will it break something further down? Will my choices to help Delvin and Vex plant evidence in Windhelm affect any further quests in Windhelm?

What will happen if both players have no money but Terran can fly base in map's edge?

I've played with some "cheap" Terran players who's supposed to be defeated but they flied their base in the edge of the map (accessible only by air units) and wait till the opponent produces a flying unit to destroy their base. It's annoying but manageable, but what if the other player has no more probe/drone/nexus/hatchery and can't afford to buy flying units anymore? Would both players be stuck until one player quits out of boredom? If that's the case, should Blizzard patch this and the Terran base should auto-destruct if he has no more units since the player is obviously just "trolling"? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/C3iGk.jpg)

Are health potions a waste of gold?

I've been playing for about a year and a half now and some of my friends would rather not buy potions saying "it's a waste of money and time". Well, I disagree with this thinking since you can remake all the gold spent in about 2 minions. My logic is that I would rather spend 70 gold of health pots to stay in lane to farm rather than to recall. I've tried showing my friends on how Health Potions can really become a factor on why you win the lane or not. Is there any truth to my intuition, or are my miserly friends right?

I'd like to ask, what is the max armor penetration I can get? By that I mean, not what is the max I can get from items, runes and masteries but what is the max available. I heard that the max is 40% and no matter how much more armor penetration you have it won't matter. I'm not totally sure about that though. I have 19 armor penetration from runes and 6 from masteries, so in total I have 25 from the start of the game. If I take Last Whisper (which gives me 35% more), Black Cleaver (10% more) and Youmuu's Ghostblade (20%) I will have 90% armor penetration. Will all of it count or only 40% of it while the rest won't even matter?


How do I destroy lights when I'm out of ammo?

Is it possible to destroy lights if I'm completely out of ammo? Attempting to grab them merely boops them with the Darkness, which doesn't seem to do much.


In Tactics Ogre: LUCT what happens if I don't fight Nybeth in chapter one? Are there any implications if I opt not to fight him in chapter one? What about if I do and defeat him? Thanks.


Under what conditions will bots leave their lane before level 6?

In every bot game I've played, the bots will wait until level 6 to leave their lane for ganks. Today, however, I was surprised by a gank at level 4! Was this caused by a change in the bot AI, or something else? We destroyed the tower in our lane extremely early on, is this the reason for the changed behavior? In general, what are the conditions under which bots will leave their lane before level 6? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/HPgZd.jpg)


Can you still earn the diablo 3 kerrigan wings if you buy Starcraft 2 now?

Is this still possible or was it only for pre-ordering?


Is it possible to pass on Event exclusive moves through breeding?

Someone on a trading group offered me an 'Event Pikachu', which was a Pikachu that knows Surf (normally impossible to teach to Pikachu). Unfortunately it was a previous Generation's Event, and as such doesn't count as a 'Kalos-Born' Pokemon for tournaments/rating battles and the like. So assuming I got a hold of it, could I breed this Pikachu to get a Kalos-born Pikachu with Surf?
