What versions of the PSP does Monster Hunter Freedom Unite work on?

I am a new PSP gamer and am deciding on which PSP console to buy. I am wondering which PSP version is best for me. Which consoles do Monster Hunter Freedom Unite work on? What are the basic differences between the different consoles that run Monster Hunter Freedom Unite?


How does charm sniping work?

I really want to give charm sniping (finding a specific charm on demand, basically) in MH3U a go, but I have no idea how to go about it. My current character has Charm Table 3. I can retrieve the RNG seed and sequence number with Athena's Charm Search Tool, but I don't know where to go next. The following links ~~probably provide some information~~ are about immobilisation (maximising and freezing the number of Weathered Charms gathered in a run) but my Japanese only extends as far as reading most skill, item, and monster names (because I played P3rd in Japanese).   * http://mh3gomamori.appspot.com/   * http://kohada.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/gameurawaza/1332990269/   * A youtube video **A good step by step description of how to snipe a charm that is in your table would be much appreciated.** **Edit:** Some posts in the Charm Search tool thread on minegarde shed a little more light on the situation. I still have no idea how to use the data I have, though.               #18: (partial quote)     Can you explain the RNG/Seed info in relation to charm sniping? I thought     charm sniping had to do with fixing the number of charms you get per run,     but it seems its even more involved than that.          #19: (partial quote)     Yeah, that's pretty much it. There are lists that show how many charms give     the best chances of a specific talisman in a certain table. You go mining and     make sure you get that number of timeworn/shining charms and drop all     mystery charms/ruststones/ancientstones.          #20: (partial quote)     There was also a GameFaqs post that addressed RNG and Seed info differently     - timing it kind of like you do with choosing a Charm Table. Link to that     post here: [moved below so that it is clickable]      http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/683294-monster- hunter-3-ultimate/65681426/737616552


How to avoid all romantic relationships in mass effect 3?

No offense, but I heard that there are more romantic relationships in Mass Effect 3, and I'd like to avoid them. For one reason, I'd prefer to skip the attachment. I'm just wondering if it has ever been done, and if its possible to avoid them. I just want to.


What does 'game-training' got to do with an application that cheats in a game?

A 'game trainer' is an application that modifies how a game behaves, allowing you to cheat in a game. But why is it called a "Game Trainer"? As the title implies, what has _training_ got to do with an application that cheats a game? If you want a more detailed version of this question, look at the previous version here.


New quests don't appear

I've put distress beacon, then I haven't seen any UFO, just couple penguins, I've killed them and then there's happened nothing, no new quests etc. What should I do and/or what did I wrong? Should/can I summon UFO iteratively?


PS3 never enters the menu

So on occasion my PS3 just waits at the shining ribbon background, but never actually opens the menu. I have to pull the plug to even get it to turn off. After turning it off it wants to check the disc, but it never finds errors. No problems other than this, games play fine. Why does it do this and what can I do to fix it? Do I have to send it in for repairs?


Does the Howling Abyss map (ARAM map) use an MMR rating system?

I know normal, Dominion, and the ranked modes all use an MMR rating to pair you up with equally skilled opponents. Is that the case for the new Howling Abyss map?


Why does Reach only let my friends/party members talk to me?

So, I often play Doubles in Reach, and when I do play, I always play with the same friend. When we're sitting in the pre-game lobby, none of the players (other than my friend) have a mic on my screen. However, my friend will be having conversations with the other people as we are sitting there, so they obviously do have mics, I just can't see/hear them. The usual culprit is a closed or moderate NAT, but I have an open NAT status. My second thought was maybe privacy or child settings (my account was, at one point in time, a child account), but looking into those I have voice chat on for all people. What could be causing me to not be able to hear any other people in matchmaking? Of note, on occasion I run into people who show a muted sign, but never anyone who has a mic symbol. Also, voice chat works correctly in other games (like Mass Effect 3), so I think it might be specific to Reach.


How to find scout?

Can Xbox One codes for Fifa 14 (Day One edition) be redeemed worldwide?

Mirosoft announced a while ago that games on the Xbox One would not be region locked. However, some DLC might be. As the system is not quite clear on what is possible and what not, I am doubting myself when it comes to codes for digital content. The European version of the Xbox One Day One Edition came with a download code for FIFA 14 and a Day One Pack unlocking some in game content. Would this content be available abroad with the European code? Would the game be downloadable for sure but the DLC maybe not?

GODUS crashes on startup after I've already played for a long time. Is there a way to fix this?

I've been playing GODUS for about 19 hours now, and nothing has been going wrong. Recently, when I went to start it up again, the game **crashed** before the cursor managed to appear or anything even loaded. This now happens every time I try to start it, and I can't play! Is there any way to fix this - **without losing my save data** , preferrably?


Note: this question is partially related to the Tribunal Recently I went to try and review cases in the Tribunal (I recently turned lv. 20), but it wouldn't let me no matter what I did. My honor hasn't been reset (because if you get a punishment from them it should be reset), and I can't really tell if I am facing/receiving a punishment or not. Is there anyway to tell if I'm facing/receiving a punishment? I'm very confused.


Is Quarry Mining As Effective As Staircase Mining?

I just started a survival world to test out a type of mining called quarry mining. For those of you that don't know what quarry mining is it is when you dig a big hole straight down and use lots of vines and ladders. My hole is in a snow biome, is 19 blocks deep, 8 blocks wide, and 8 blocks deep. Unfortunately I have only found 18 coal, 10 iron, and I haven't found a single cave. When I normally mine I use staircase mining which seems to help bring in much more resources and entrances to many more caves than quarry mining. So what I want to know is if I just got really unlucky and quarry mining is better or if staircase mining is better. Thanks for the help!

Can I "garrison" aircraft?

When aircraft are assigned to a city, are they "garrisoned" there? If so, are they covered by the "garrisoned units have no upkeep" bonus from the Tradition culture tree? My (apparently-dashed) hope was that Triplanes/Fighters/Jet Fighters could be set to intercept and would be upkeepless, but that apparently isn't the case.


What's the use of Lucid Memory Artifacts in Tyranny of King Washington?

I've found a (my first) memory artifact in Assassin's Creed 3 Tyranny of King George (episode 1). I've pressed the "interact" button and a picture appeared; nothing else. The symbol did not disappear from the map. Is that supposed to happen? Can I collect all 3 of them in this episode (The Infamy)?


When are event tiles assigned?

Most maps have 2 event tiles, identified by sparkles or dots on the tile. If a unit stands on one of these tiles, they may get more experience, weapon proficiency, or an item. At what point (map start, tile activation) is the type (and exact item) of the event tiles generated?

Starting Minecraft via Batch script in maximized mode?

I've got it down to start minecraft with a batch script and auto-login.               start /high javaw -Xmx2048M -Xms1024M -Djava.library.path=bin/natives -cp bin/minecraft.jar;bin/jinput.jar;bin/lwjgl.jar;bin/lwjgl_util.jar net.minecraft.client.Minecraft "somebody" "password"      However I can't figure out how to start minecraft maximized. There's the magiclauncher which allows me to do that, but I do not want extra applications running when I don't have to. And just 1 simple function is not worth the extra application in my opinion. So anyway, is there a way to start minecraft with a batch script maximized?


Is there a way to remove the time limit in Pikmin 3 mission mode?

To Kill or Not to Kill - Zeke in Deus Ex 3

So I didn't kill Zeke in the first mission and as a result he popped up later and gave me some information. I then decided to kill him and earn brownie points with the Boss, but Jensen never mentions it. Now, I'm worried that I've lost both the brownie points with the Boss and later valuable interaction with Zeke. Would Zeke have popped up after the first time I left Detroit if I hadn't killed him? Cheers


Things in Mr Lee's apartment

Talking about Faridah's side mission in New Hengsha: So I hacked the computer, spent 10 minutes searching for the second item (the clock) and Jensen still thinks there's more. What am I looking for and where is it? I've wasted more time than I care to admit looking for it.


What are the conditions for cactus to grow in Terraria?

In my current world, I built a horizontal tunnel from my home to the nearest demon altar, at a depth of 8 feet above sea level. As it happens, this tunnel passed through a relatively large area of sand and, while making a run down this tunnel last night, I discovered that cacti had grown in it, contrary to my assumption that they would only grow on the surface deserts. I've checked both wikis and found no information on cactus farming. Are the requirements for growing cacti (altitude, vertical space, and perhaps quantity of sand in the area) currently known? For now, I've dug six blocks down from the main tunnel and paved at the original level, which looks like it should leave a cactus-height space above the new level of the sand surface, but I haven't seen any new cactus growth yet.


Does anything happen if you don't obey the commands to press buttons?

At one point in the Stanley Parable, the game asks you to press different buttons and then usually makes a joke about you afterwards. An example is: > PLEASE PRESS 'Z' TO BE AT WORK IN THE MORNING. I've waited a couple minutes to see if anything will ever happen on one of these button push screens, but I'm not ready to wait around for longer to see if anything ever happens. Does anything ever happen if you refuse to hit the required button?


How to add colour to overview tabs in EVE?

Redstone torch on a block doesn't switch on the block that it is on?

Ok, here's another one. As represented in the visual, I have a redstone torch attached to a block, that is, a redstone lamp. But as represented in the visual, by my extraordinary drawing, the redstone torch actually exist in the block which's borders shown by red. Since my redstone lamp is next to this block which is represented by red borders, it must be switched on and hence light up. But it does not. Why? Thanks in advance with most appreciation. P.S.: We know that the block shown by red borders is powered because of the second visual.![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ssn6g.png) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gkAZX.png) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AIH1T.png)

Efficiently fueling a generator

Do i waste coal if i fill up a generator with a full stack of coal to charge my batbox connected to it? I have the feeling it starts to waste coal when the generator gets fully charged and continues to burn coal. Are there any ways to let all the machines run for a while so i do not have to stay in place to fill stuff with fuel? Currently i am just using coal, but i am building a coke oven so soon i have much better fuel. Do these other fuel types burn slower and give the same power/second or do they give much more power so the generator "threshold" is reached even sooner?

How do you increase movement speed on the map in Mount & Blade

I just bought Mount & Blade off steam yesterday. On the overland map (with all the cities etc.) I see parties with speeds much higher than mine (like the 'steppe bandits' going at 7.1), is there a character attribute that's linked to this? If not, how do I increase my parties speed?


Need to login to the Steam Community from within Steam?

I remember I was able to browse things like my profile and others' profiles from the community tab in Steam. Lately, however, it seems that the community tab just shows me a page where I have to explicitly log-in with my Steam account name and password - even though I'm browsing from within the logged-in Steam client. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to make it authenticate automatically, or do I have to use the username and password manually?

My character goes blind

I am level 48 and after a few in-game hours, my character goes completely blind! I can still see the compass bar and the cursor, I can do shouts, attack, etc. However, all I can see is pure darkness. It happens as if you transforming back from or to werewolf form. So, the vision goes blurry for a split second, and before you know it, it fades into complete darkness. I have tried loading from another file, a different character, I have tried uninstalling the game, removing all mods and ESP files from the data folder, re-installing, but nothing helps... Anyone had this issue before?

Does profit from the tourist attraction culture buildings go to the city coffers?

The tourist attraction buildings have an hourly expense like other special buildings, so I know their baseline cost. But they also have a profit associated with them, so I'm wondering if this generates (or takes) money from the city coffers. In this example, the Leaning Tower of Pisa costs §7,320/day (§305/hr) outright. Does the daily loss bring that number to §12,836? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sPbpw.png)

silence a buffed and damaged minion will not affect the buff on its hp?

Then it's my turn, I played Ironbeak Owl on mountain giant, theoretically it should set back to 8/1 since I silenced buff, but he actually got back to 8/2. Why?

Do town portals stay in place if you leave town through other means?

I came back from floor 9 of the Shadow Vault through a town portal that I left next to a fishing hole. However, after doing my business in town, I forgot the town portal was there, and I re-entered the Shadow Vault through the regular entrance in the shrine. I'm currently on floor 3. If I go back to town, will my portal to level 9 still be there? I don't feel like going all the way down to level 9 to find my fishing hole, but I'm not sure if going back up will be worth my time either.

What cars can be used in the GT5 single model online racing?

A bunch of friends have regular weekly GT5 racing using the "Lounge" facility. Last night I experimented with a "single model" race. Where you can set that everyone has identical cars in the "Regulation" menu. Even if the person doesn't have that car they are still assigned it. When I did it ever car was visually identical (all the same colour). Although I have a garage of over 200 cars I could only choose from a limited list of cars. Is there any logic behind this limitation? For example can we only use premium cars in single model races, or maybe cars that the race-host hasn't modified in their own garage?


Which stat is applied first, Damage Reduction or Damage Threshold in Fallout New Vegas?

The information found on the Fallout Wikia seems to be conflicting. Under the **Damage Threshold** article, it states that:               The combined statistics of DT and DR (with DT being applied first) determines....      whereas on the **Damage Resistance** article:               Damage resistance is applied before damage threshold.      _I am confused. Which one is really applied first?_

If I make a battlenet account in Australia, will I be able to swap it to US?

I am in Australia right now and I'm thinking of making a battlenet account for the various demos they claim to have on their site (which you have to have a bnet account to see). When I get back home I intend to buy SCII, but maybe also Diablo III when it is released, perhaps Warcraft III etc, so I'm worried about two things:   * Will I have to make a new Battlenet account or rebuy any when I get back to the States?   * Will I be able to use the American account when I next come to Australia? I guess these are really the same question.


How to get "It's Truly Random!" achievement on LEGO Universe

When playing LEGO Universe, there is an achievement called "It''s Truly Random!", which one must roll a six on "the LEGO die" one hundred times (in a row?) to get. This definition is very vague and leaves me with little to no idea of how to actually get this achievement. Must I possibly make a video of doing this in real life with my LEGO die? Or is there a LEGO die in LEGO Universe?


Redstone torch on a block that is powered directly by another torch doesn't turn off?

As far as I understood, if you power the block that a redstone torch is on, that redstone torch turns off.

For clarity, here is a screenshot: ![redstone torch directly next to a redstone torch on a block](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rFL13.png)

My current task is to Locate the Aetherium Forge. As I have already visited 'Ruins of Bthalft' so I fast travel there, some bandit attacked and they died. Now according to wiki Katria should have showed up here. My problem start here, there is no sign of her and even though I am running around the Dwemer globe - the game stage won't update! Console command: `player.sqs dlc1ld` shows the following quest stages values:               0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 -> 0     10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 100, 110 -> 1     111 -> 0     112, 120, 125, 126, 130, 131, 135, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 150 -> 1     160, 170 and so on --- all zeros      I tried to move to the next stage using console command (setstage), move katria to me (moveto player) - she was disabled to enabled her, but she won't start any conversation - just asking what I want :( I tried to go farther using console up to `Stand Clear` but the lift won't rise! Any idea what should I do now?


What do the different PS button light signals mean?

I have a PS Vita and I keep it in sleep mode on my desk most of the time. The PS button light is off most of the time, but I see the PS button turning on often. I know orange means charging, but once in a while it will flash a few times then turn off again, at first I thought it means I had a notification but turning the screen on shows nothing. Is there a guide somewhere which explains the different signals?


Why is autopickup on even though I disabled it in nethackrc?

I created an .nethackrc to make nethack fitting my needs with the following line :               OPTIONS=autodig,!autopickup      But even if I disabled autopickup, it is still activated in game and it is very annoying... I'm running nethack 3.4.3 Any ideas?

How do you breed a Pearl Dragon?

The in game announcement that stated that May 31st was the last day for the Emerald Dragon also mentioned that the Pearl Dragon would be the gem dragon for the month of June. How do you breed a Pearl dragon? What incubation time indicates that you got it?


Would using a smaller screen help me play first-person shooters better?

An old friend of mine (hardcore player) said once that a smaller screen is better as the area you have to concentrate on is smaller, so you can more effectively spot and shoot an enemy. What are the pros or cons of using different screen sizes/resolutions, considering both efficiency (kills per minute or k/d ratio) and the length of time I can play comfortably? I have a choice of screens I can use: 26" 1920x1200, 22" 1680x1050, and an old 19" 1280x1040.


Borderlands 2 GOTY co-op with original Borderlands 2 w/o DLCs

I'm planning to buy the BL2 GOTY (Game of the Year) edition. Lets say I did that. My friend already owns the original BL2, but without any DLCs.   1. Can we play co-op?   2. If yes, can I play as Gaige or Psycho? (Which are characters not included in the original BL2)


How do I fix performance issues in SSF4:AE on the PC?

So I have had the game for a while now, having a positive experience with it, my PC achieved an average of 60 FPS while playing it, but now, it just reaches an average of 13 FPS, making it unplayable, I don't have any idea for the reasons of this and I am desperate for a fix since I can't find anything on the internet, does anybody have an idea for this? I have a Radeon HD 6670 Graphics Card and a AMD FX 8120 @ 3.1 Ghz proccessor.

Does Magic 2015 For PC Change The Location Of The Multiplayer Chat Window?

One of my prior grievances with Magic 2014 for PC was that the chat window was placed in an awkward location (front and center) that obstructed view of the player's deck. Has this changed in Magic 2015 for PC? I didn't see this mentioned at all on forums or the developers web site. Multiplayer isn't available in the demo.


Is Black Ops 2 region locked?

So, my sister fell in love with Black Ops 2 during the free weekend and we decided to get it for her. However, the price is... shall we say, high. However, we found it relatively cheap on Amazon.com, but only if you buy the disc. As such, I wanted to ask if Black Ops 2 is region locked? So if I order the disc from US and it arrives at Finland, will she still be able to play it? She does have Steam account, so that is not a problem.


Currency Exchange: More Gems for more Gold?

This is not a question about fluctuating exchange rates or anything, it's much simpler: Is there a bulk discount built into the Exchange mechanic? So far I have always assumed that, even if the RATE changes, every single gem is still worth the same at any given time. Meaning that if (for example) 1 Silver can buy you 1 Gem, then 20 Silver would (at that very moment) buy you 20 gems. However, I noticed that this is not true, and even did the math just now. Right now, to buy 1 Gem I would have to trade 1.39 Silver. That would mean that to buy 5 Gems, I would have to trade 6.95 Silver. But I don't. 6.95 Silver buys me 7 Gems instead. This means that there is some kind of bulk discount, completely unrelated to the fluctuating rate. So the question is: Is there any research on this? Maybe a table that lists how this discount works?


What is with this black line?

During a cut-scene, I noticed an odd black line. It seemed to be locked on a point in a specific character's neck and went off (no idea how far but always past the viewpoint of the screen) in the direction the character was facing. I've only seen it on this character and have don't remember her in the next few cut-scenes. Here are a couple pictures to illustrate: ![Muppet](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sKywF.jpg) ![Black sniper laser](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eIIhh.jpg) What is this? How can I make it go away?

XP Grinder Optimization

I have just completed my 3rd version of an XP Grinder. I created a 33x33 room, placing water along the North and South walls which run 7 blocks towards the mid-line of the room, dropping down to an 8 block run to the edge of a 3 wide trough running East-West. The trough has a 3x3 drop hole at the top of a 5x5 walled drop falling 20 blocks to my killing area. 1) I need to optimize the killing area to allow XP to flow out while the mobs don't. Short of placing an lever controlled iron door (ugly) in the walled enclosure the mobs fall into, I am getting frustrated (idea lock, brain dump, whatever...). Thoughts? 2) Is there any benefit to placing a second layer of spawners 3 spaces above the ones already placed? My spawners are set 2 blocks above the floor under them, allowing mobs to pass beneath them. I have a glass floor 2 blocks above the highest spawners (observation area), and 1 torch in each corner for minimal light. This area obviously would have to be moved up, but not sure if it's worth it. The basic set up is as follows:   * Glass   * Air   * Air   * Spawner   * Air   * Water   * Floor The spawners are set up on a 5 blocks spacing around the center, using 32 spawners. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks!


Why is my wired Internet connection slow on my PS3?

My ISP connection is 30 meg down and 5 up. My PlayStation 3 is hardwired with cat5e. All of the PlayStation Network ports are configured and forwarded on my router. The test: Go to speakeasy with PS3 and perform test with Seattle. This is the best glass backbone to Montana. I am lucky if I get 4 meg download speed, the up speed is decent. Second test, unplug PlayStation 3 and plug in MacBook Pro. The results are that I can utilize the full bandwidth of my service from the same patch cable, wire through house and port on router. 30 down and 4.8 up. I also removed ubuiti router and replaced with a pos netgear. Test results did not vary and router firmwares were up to date. Any ideas?

No sectoids to capture

I think my game has reached a point where it can't progress any further. I am about 10 months in and I have researched everything. Early in the game though I never caught a sectoid, the troops were too zealous on over watch. There have been no sectoids for months and I can't research past the interrogation. I've caught a thin man and an overseer but haven't been given the opportunity to interrogate or research them. I am assuming that I need to do the sectoid first. Am I stuck and need to start over or should I continue to hold out and hope they show up in a future mission?


Does the bishop stats really matter?

If you have free investiture, you get to elect your own bishops, which is pretty neat. But do their stats really matter? Usually, I simply go through the list and pick people who have a high opinion of me, and are thus likely to pay tax to me rather than the guy with the funny hat. I also make sure they don't have dope stats that could otherwise benefit my court. But other than that, do their skills really matter? For example:   * If they have high _stewardship_ , will they be able to collect more taxes for me?   * If they have high _martial_ skills, will I be able to draw a larger levy? I guess a decent score here will at least make them better commanders.   * Is it true that only bishops can be elected court chaplains? In that case, a high _learning_ stat wouldn't be amiss. I've also noticed that appointing unlanded (non-heir) sons bishops is a neat way to stop them complaining about not having a title. Also, I've noticed that some times all my appointed bishop heirs are unset, so I have to appoint them all over. Is this a bug, or is there a logical reason for this? I haven't noticed too many bishops dying, and the ruler and the pope are not unchanged.


Does Sivir's ricochet trigger her passive?

Sivir's passive, Fleet of Foot, gives her a bonus 50 movement speed if she auto-attacks a champion. If she uses Ricochet to hit a champion, will it trigger her passive? Or does nothing happen, since Ricochet doesn't trigger on-hit effects.


DAILY & Bonus Series NPC's and locations

I've been banging around search results for NPC locations of Bonus Quest starters. I can't seem to find anything like this: Hoth Bonus Series NPC Starter: Orbital Station (x,y), Prerequisites: (x, y, z). Etc. Does anyone know of a site where this kind of info is given? I'm specifically trying to find the Hoth NPC to kick off the DAILY series, like that given on Belsavis. ie, On Belsavis, I know that I can start the Daily series by going to the NPC's at "Wilderness" Outpost. Where is this same location/NPC group on Hoth? Alderaan? Tatooine? Oh and yes I've done all the quests that I can find except Heroics, and am level 50 (Republic, Smuggler). I'm assuming that having finished the Bonus series on Hoth gives me access to the dailies by level 50. Any help is much appreciated! Cheers~

Where are the Silean Nebula and Hades Nexus?

This nebula has been identified on side quests (I put all priority missions on standby ... ironically) so that I don't miss out on any content. Is this a case of a galaxy just not being available until the main plot line catches up? How far do I have to progress to open these up?


Running wom.sh in Terminal, but Error message Appears

I followed the instructions at the World of Minecraft Website.

Is there any way to give my squad mates armor?

Keeping my squad mates alive is very high on my priority list. I have seen how weapons and weapon mods work with squad mates (dead simply, in fact). Is there a similar ability to give my used armor to them (after I have it fabreezed of course)?


Has anyone else noticed springy controls in Battlefield 3 (PS3)?

Playing Battlefield 3 on my PS3, the controls feel very springy. When I, for example, quickly rotate right with the left analog stick, my character also rotates a bit to the left when the analog stick is released. It's subtle, but incredibly annoying. I didn't have this problem with BFBC2, and I've tried several controllers. No matter what sensitivity I choose, I can't make quick movements with the analog sticks without the controls "springing back". Has anyone else noticed this, or is there some kind of fix?

Comparing weapons in Rage

Is there a way to compare weapon stats and see how they stack up against each other in terms of damage, range, etc? Especially when it comes to weapons from the same family like the double- barreled shotgun and the combat shotgun. Aside from the combat shotgun having a bigger magazine, is there any difference between them in terms of damage?


Terraria and Hamachi

I have a Terraria server running at home for my friends to play. It works fine for them and myself when I play at home - but at work or on my mum's PC which are in different locations it doesn't. When I try to join from either of these locations, the server is found, loaded and the name of the server is picked up etc. When I join I can see that the world has all the correct tiles (ie the houses around the spawning point are present, etc) but after about 1-2 seconds the connection is lost. I'm on Hamachi at work at the moment and see that next to the computer that's running the Terraria server it says "relayed tunnel": ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ui2C9.gif) Does anyone know of this issue and a way to fix it?


Can't seem to get off-screen reload working on Mame32

I'm trying to play some light gun games on Mame and Mame32. I tried mame gamename -offscreen_reload -mouse, and that didn't work, even though the wiki faq specifically says that this is the way to make this possible. It's supposed to make Player 1 Button 2 an 'off-screen reload' button. I tried with multiple roms.


How do you make Dragonpunch and similar action?

Maybe I am too new, but I found Dragonpunch's instruction quite confusing. It is a Right, a Down, a Right-Down. But how do you perform this with a PS3 analog stick or joystick? What is the best way to do this? I don't know how you do it, but here is 2 thought of mine: 1) Right, move the stick back the center, Down, and Right-Down. 2) Right, move straigt to Down, then Right-Down. I suspect it will trigger a Right-Down while moving to Down. I use this method to do it. Am I wrong? Is this why I fail to perform Dragonpunch so often?


What are the extra weapon/trap slots for?

In _Orcs Must Die!_ , in both the spellbook and upgrade page, there are extra slots left over after finishing the story on War Mage, and after playing through a few levels of Nightmare mode, it doesn't seem that there are any new traps/weapons coming. Are these spare slots left there for future DLC, or is there a way to unlock these new weapons that I'm just missing?


How can I properly perform a move with a full circle instruction?

When I try to perform Zangief's Super attack, I need to perform a full circle movement of the joystick. I am not very experienced with performing such actions and when I try it I end up jumping instead of performing the move. I would appreciate some tips on how to perform moves that include full circle motions properly.


Tunnels and bridges

In the latest patch for SimCity 5, they added the tunnel and road bridge function. By pressing "N" or "M" you can lower or raise a road in your city.   * Does this serve any other puporse besides making a city apear more "cool"?   * Or does it actually help the city traffic run more smooth?


In Eve, do any EW modules or drones work on NPCs?

In Eve, ECM (Electronic Counter-Measures) modules (like _Jammers_ ), **don't work** on NPC pirates (as I once found out the hard way). But looking at EVEMon - it seems that ECM is a subset of the EW category. And there's a lot of different EW (Electronic Warfare) type of modules, like _Target Painters_ , etc. Do _any_ of these EW modules work on NPCs? (Or the EW drones?) Or are NPCs just immune to everything in the EW category?


XP mechanics for different levels coop in console Diablo 3

Let's consider a case when there's a game with three 15 level character and one 1 level. What will happen with monsters and experience in this case? I am talking about local co-op on the same screen, not multiplayer. I mean what level of monsters should we expect? Will it be playable for both types of players (for example, 15 level monsters I guess will one shot the 1 level character)? And how much experience will be getting by 1 level character? 15 level characters? How fast will they balance in levels?


What are the effects of importing an old savegame into the Witcher 2?

I've heard in some previews of The Witcher 2 that you can import your old The Witcher 1 savegames into the new game, similar to the way Mass Effect allows this. Is there any information on what exactly this can change in the new game? Is it only the big decisions, like for which side you decided to fight? Or does it take more aspects of the old savegame and import them. I also remember reading that certain items and/or gold would carry over, is that confirmed?

How to kill Brayko in Alpha Protocol

I'm finding it very difficult to get through the Brayko boss fight in Alpha Protocol. Up to that point I'd only been dying once every few missions, but I've died about 5 or 6 times trying to get past Brayko. I've been playing on easy because;   * I was trying to avoid this kind of aggravation, and    * I'm not all that good at shooters so I was quite surprised to run in to this kind of brick wall. I've hit him with grenades, incendiary bombs and hundreds of assault rifle rounds, but nothing seems to stop him. What method should I use to kill him? Is there something that I'm missing?


Where do the third party stats sites get their data?

Both sc2ranks.com and rts-sanctuary provide stats on starcraft 2 rankings. where do they get their data? is it a special deal they have with Blizzard, or are they accessing a public feed that Blizzard supplies, or are they scraping the battlenet web site somehow? UPDATE: After reading the post linked to in my comment, maybe a rephrase would appease the masses: Let me phrase my question as a question about the features of StarCraft 2. "Does Starcraft II have a feature or API by which a player can download data about match histories for themselves and others?" Hopefully questions about the features of games are considered on topic :) ps - in an attempt to find out why people were voting for it to be closed, i accidentally voted to close it myself :). And now I can't unvote. oh well.


Are rifles and two-handed SMGs worthwhile in Max Payne 3 mutiplayer?

I've been playing a good bit of Max Payne 3's multiplayer. I was very surprised at how polished it is. That said, I've been playing mostly deathmatch (8-player free-for-all), and I've found SMGs and rifles feel underpowered. Sniper rifles notwithstanding, I haven't found a rifle that works better than dual or even single Bulls (the magnum revolvers). After all, the revolvers, at least with the mod to reduce damage drop-off, seem to have similar range and better accuracy, and while their fire rate is lower their single shot damage is better. Likewise, two-handed SMGs seem totally eclipsed by simple combos like 1911/M10, filling the medium-range gap with the 1911's (or other pistol with compensator) reach, and much more devastating at close range. Now, I've had moderate luck with the .40 cal SMG, as it seems to hold its accuracy okay, but it's definitely nothing to write home about, and all the automatic rifles seem to have horrible accuracy degradation, with slow recovery. The Mini-30 is pretty decent, but it's hard to justify using that over dual Bulls... although I guess that's just an indication that the Bulls are overpowered. It's sort of disappointing, since I like engaging in the medium-to-long range area, but rifles, which should be best there, are pretty lackluster. TL;DR: y rifles suck? D: Thoughts?


Are earthquakes just for the sake of better game experience?

I presume they are, but i noticed them first time on 3rd or 4th level, where some hallways are collapsed and I'm just thinking that it would be cool if hallways are collapsed because of the earthquakes and that you could outrun them. And I don't know if earthquakes are time or location triggered.   So for example if earthquakes are time triggered, and you get to the (should be) collapsed hallway and it is not collapsed then you don't have to go all the way around. **Edit:** Anybody been there, done that before the first earthquake?


What happens if I cancel my account?

I like The Secret World. I want to keep playing it. I just don't have time to _right now_ because there are so many other games.

How do I install and play the Day Z mod for Arma 2?

I'd like to install and play the _Day Z_ mod for _Arma 2_ , but the web page for the mod doesn't give very specific instructions. Simply dropping the .rar files into the specified directories seems to be insufficient. I'd like a step by step process for installing and launching this mod. I purchased the game through Steam, if distribution method matters.


Is there an advantage to using Poke-Amie?

In Pokemon X and Y, there is a feature called the Poke-Amie that allows you to play with your Pokemon. Once I maxed out my Sylveon (started doing it to evolve it) I realized that messages were popping up in battle. Example: Sylveon trusts Zack to come up with a good battle plan, Slyveon looks like its in pinch, it might cry, or Slyveon read Zack's mind at dodged the attack, ect., ect., Are those just added for effect, or are they there because of an extra dodge/crit roll. The reason I wonder this is because sometimes Sylveon gets a dodge/crit and the message does not pop up, but other times it does.

Is the Thief Race event in Tomba! undoable if done too late?

In the classic Playstation game Tomba!, there is a series of events involving a thief who's imprisoned in the Dwarf Village. First you go into his dungeon and the light goes out, so you restore the light using a torch, then he digs a tunnel to escape, then you find a broken vase in the dungeon, then you cover up the tunnel he's digging, so he's forced back into the dungeon, then he goes to sleep, then you come back and he's awake, then he breaks out again, then he challenges you to a footrace in the Watch Tower, and then after you win you get a Silver Powder that's essential to make candy with Mizuno the witch. Now I completed all the events in this sequence up to and including "The Great Escape", where you find the broken vase and cover up the thief's tunnel, so the thief has gone back to the dungeon and fallen asleep. But for some reason, he seems to stay asleep indefinitely, rather than just waking up after you leave the dungeon and re-enter it, so I'm unable to initiate the footrace of the "Ready Set Go!" event. So what's causing the problem, and how can I get him to wake up? I suspect the cause may be that I've progressed too far in the game, while I was supposed to do the thief events earlier on. I've already beaten 6 of the 7 Evil Pigs, including the one responsible for the Dwarf Forest curse. Could it be that the Thief events, specifically the footrace, can only be done when the Dwarf Forest is still under the curse?


Do regular Wiimotes work on the Wii-U?

I went all in when the Wii came out and got 4 Wii-motes right away.   I do not want to buy new Wii-motes to play party games if I get the Wii-U. I mean it seems silly if everyone just needs the D-pad to make Mario run. The only thing I've heard is that Wii-motion plus Wii-motes will be compatible with the Wii-U from the wikipedia article.   Is there a definitive word from Nintendo that regular Wii-motes will not work with the Wii-U or has anyone tried this at home?


Can random events destroy your ship?

According to the wiki, there are no events that can completely destroy your ship (ie, taking it from full health to zero health), however, there are events which can reduce the health of your ship. Can these random events destroy your ship, or can your ship only be completely destroyed while in combat?

I am experiencing significant bugs with Windstad Manor house. I have built everything to do with the house, and the build is still not there.

Sightseeing: Tollifer's Last Stand

The _Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls_ achievement _Sightseeing_ says to "complete all of the following events in Westmarch." There are sixteen events to complete in Westmarch Commons and Westmarch Heights. The final piece of the puzzle for me is _Tollifer's Last Stand_. According to this post on Blizzard's forums it is in Westmarch Commons. This video shows it being completed, but does not go into much detail. I have performed a full clear of Westmarch Commons many times both in Adventure Mode and in Campaign Mode. I have seen every other event multiple times by now, but not this one. As the video advises I have been very diligent to keep my eyes peeled for doorways with the sparkly body and on the minimap for the dot. Nothing. How do I complete this achievement? Do I need to be on a certain mode? Is it really super rare, or am I the victim of the RNG?


My Follower's Body is Not Visible, But Follower Still With Me

I am playing the Skyrim Dragonborn DLC. I am on the Final Descent quest. My companion Serana went completely invisible. It was a battle with a ton of dreadlord Draugrs. We managed to kill them all. She even spawned a draugr as her own, but during the heat of the battle her body disappeared but she is still with me in spirit. I tried saving and restarting the game still same problem. I do not know if this is only limited to Serana. Serana is still with me and attacking things that are hostile. Just not visible. Here is what it looks like. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/lBsqv.jpg) Has anyone encountered this strange bug? What can be done to resolve it?


How can I get rid of this black hole in my minecraft world?

I have interesting bug that I have experienced before but has gone away on its own. This one is not going away though. I have a giant stripe or chunks missing from my desert biome, I would say probably 7 chunks long. I'm guessing the chunks are corrupted or something, what was hoping to figure is whether it can repaired or reverted. Here is a picture of the problem. ![Missing chunk of land](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fLA96.jpg)


My world has a huge void gap. How do I fix it?

I have this huge gap in my world. I was just starting to get things going with the FTB mod so please tell me this is easy to fix. ![minecraft bug](http://i.stack.imgur.com/PASTl.jpg) When I enter it I can move forward very slowly. I did not move in all the way but just a bit with SHIFT and took me some time to get out of it. I cannot build in it either. For further experimentation, I need to bring my Efficiency IV, Unbreakable III, and Fortune II diamond pickaxe to safety first, which is another reason I want this world fixed.

I'm playing with a necromancer (84 exp) in hell difficulty with the following skills:   * **Skeleton mastery** : 20 (for revived monsters stats)   * **Corpse Explosion** : 15 (for quick cleaning of small monsters pack)   * **Bone Spear** : 20 (main attack)   * **Bone Spirit** : 20 (for bosses)   * 1 skill point for the rest, coupled with a +6 all skills from various items I get the impression that even moderate level monsters are not killed fast enough, even when using _lower resist_ or _decrepify_ (the latter has the nice effect of slowing down enemies and is the most used spell). I didn't find any updated guide for hell difficulty (for patch 1.12 or later), is there a better combination of skills/spells?


Items get forgotten by crafting logistics pipes when the world is reloaded

I'm playing _Minecraft_ with the _Technic Pack_ and using _Logistics Pipes_ , especially _Crafting Logistics Pipes_ , to automatically process items in machines, e.g. smelt items in a furnace. The logistics pipes have the property that they "forget" requests when the world is saved and loaded again. When a request is fulfilled by a crafting logistics pipe, an item is put into a furnace to smelt and the smelting will take some time. When I save and reload the world during that time, the item, or it's product, will still be in the furnace, but the associated request does not exist anymore. So the item will stay in the furnace. When I request another item from the same crafting logistics pipe, the pipe will instantly pull the already smelted item out of the furnace but another one of the item needed to produce the requested one will be routed to the furnace. So from then on, there will always be one item too many inside the furnace. This problem also happens with _Automatic Crafting Pipes_ , where necessary items may arrive at different times and there is a time frame where reloading the world would get some of the items "lost". There are also other reasons for this to happen. E.g. if a request can't be completed because of some other problem in the network, but the Logistics Pipes network thinks it can. So enhancing the Crafting Logistics Pipes implementation to save and restore active requests would not completely prevent this from happening and a more robust solution that I can implement with items from the Technic Pack is desired. Is there any way solve this problem?

Will offline progress on another system update trophies on my system or PSN account?

> Incidentally related:   >  Transferring save games to a system without DLC I'm going to be spending the weekend at a friend's house. I plan on taking some of my saved games off my PS3, and loading them on his, to work on. However, I do not plan on logging in to PSN on his system and would rather avoid it unless it's necessary. Still, I would like all my game progress (including trophies) to come home with me when I'm done. I'd like to know whether or not I really _need_ to log in to PSN on my friend's system, in order to have my earned trophies sync with my home system after I refresh the saved game. To be clear, here's my current plan:   * My home system is always logged in to my PSN account.   * I will copy my saved games from my home system to a thumb drive, and load them on my friend's system.   * I will not log into my PSN account from my friend's system.   * I will _probably_ end up earning some trophies while playing on my friend's system.   * After I'm done, I'll copy the updated save files from my friend's system back to my system via thumb drive. Under these conditions, will the trophies earned while on my friend's system be transferred to my home system when I get back?


What Makes Bolts of Kessak the Devourer so special? (Got it!)

Pokemon Black 2 Emulator save issue

So here's my situation now. I've started a Pokemon Black 2 game on Desmume, and the game warned me that I already have a saved game, so I said I want to start a new game anyway. Now, I'm usually saving with states, so I usually don't mind not being able to save normally. However, in Black 2, I reached the part where I'm required to shoot a movie (right after the second gym battle), now it requires me to save, and it tells me "You can't save the game because there's already a saved game, **please press SELECT+UP+B at the start menu** ". Now, I obviously don't want to completely erase my saved game, so I tried the following:   * Remove the saved file from the Battery folder and restarting the game.   * Rename the game and the saved state file and restarting. Needless to say these didn't work, I'm suspecting the saved state has the current save file in memory and the emulator won't read it again. Is there some way I can force it to? Is there perhaps a cheat code that would allow me to bypass the guard at the entrance (and if I do that, would the game allow me to move forward?). Is it possible to perhaps convert the saved state to an actual save file?


Language change to English

My Steam installation is in Danish, which is no problem. But my DOTA 2 installation is in Danish. **How can I change the language from Danish (or any other language) to English in DOTA 2?** It is so annoying, to read spell discriptions and similar in Danish - it looses that coolness, and worst off all, some discriptions are way off when compared. I cant find the setting for this in DOTA 2.


Why can't I find commodities in the auction house?

Last week I was able to buy gems in the auction house. I bought a few flawless square gems. But now when I search for more nothing comes up, no matter what gem I search for. Is that just because no one is selling them, or is there something wrong with the auction house?

I noticed that the infernal dye is really expensive in the auction house. I haven't found any so far in act 1 inferno... where can I find them and is there a specific location/trader/boss I can farm/look for them? Are they bound to a specific act/event in Inferno perhaps?


Noncombat PvP career in EVE Online

I'm thinking about returning to EVE, but i don't know if there is a career for me - last time i did a few courier contracts in lowsec with my Cheetah and some exploration missions - i don't find shooting at ships or asteroids that much fun. I wonder if being a one-character freelance spy would be a possible career in EVE (I don't mind losing a ship from time to time or not making a profit in the end). The question:   * Is it even possible to gather some usefull intel by flying into a system with a covert ops and scanning that couldn't be found out by easier ways (e.g. disposable alts)? What i also wonder about:   * Would there be demand for such intel?   * For how long will it stay usable?   * Is there a standard format to give the intel to other players - printscreens, videos, 3rd party applications that read game data?   * What contract type should i offer to the other party so that they can decide to pay me if they find my intel usefull?   * After jumping into a system, my ship is invisible - can i always jump out before they can attack me or what are their options - how much time do i have in average?   * Besides safe spots, what other tricks should i learn to increase my survivability?   * What are the best blogs/forums/news to read about politics, major and minor aliances in EVE?


What's the wizard's main strength (or role)?

While there is no strong "role" for classes in Diablo 3, you can't deny that each of them is especially good at something. The barbarian can receive a lot of damage (tank), the demon hunter can perform long range attacks (archer) and the witch doctor summons lots of minions (necro). Wizards and monks purposes are less obvious to me. I thought that the wizard's main strength would be the ability to deal lots of damages (either with area damages spells, or simply with high damages spells). I've been playing Diablo 3 with two friends from the beginning, and their monk and demon hunter seem to kill mobs as fast as I do. Moreover, they have a far better vitality. We have the same kind of stuff and the same level. I maxed my intelligence with the gems system; also I tried several sets of spells and runes. Am I missing something ?


Node gathering on 2 other guest servers in guild wars 2?

From what I read that besides my home server I can gather nodes (orichalcum, ancient wood) on 2 other guest servers. After I gathered on IOJ (home server) and tried guesting on SBI/JQ, I cant seem to find any nodes. This was in cursed shores/malchor leap. So is there a way to find out which other 2 server, will have nodes spawn that I can gather?


How to complete quest "cold shoulder"?

Somewhere during the play through, the quest "cold shoulder" will be given to you by scooter. At a certain point during the mission, there is a quest that requires you to find 5 slices of pizza in a specific area. However, I am unable to find the 5th slice of pizza even after I have scourged the area over and over again. I suppose this is due to the fact that the last slice of pizza did not load properly. Thus, I would like to know how I could reload this piece of pizza so that I can retrieve it. It would also be useful if you could attach a few pictures of the specific locations of the 5 slices of pizza.

How do I manually install Feed the Beast Unhinged?

FTB Unhinged looks like its the mod pack I would like to run on my server. My server's control panel has a nifty mod installation section where it gives me a drop-down that lets me click whatever mod pack I wish to install and it does it for me. However, Unhinged is not on the list of mods it installs for me. How do I, step by step, install Feed the Beast Unhinged. IE: What order to I install the mods that are listed in the pack, and other than putting them in their respective forge folder, is there anything else I have to do?

What use does repairing cars have?

So I started playing a real-time strategy game for android called gangster- paradise. This is just your everyday, do something, wait some time, do thing again, repeat, level up, do beter stuff. One of those things is GTA (grand theft auto). If you successfully steal a car you have the option to repair, sell or chop it. Now i haven't unlocked the chop-shop yet so i can only repair and sell it. Now to my surprise if you steal a car which has been damaged by (for example) 38% and you choose to repair it it would bring $500,-. Now the repair costs would have been around $140 and to sell the car without repairing would have gotten you $360, that's right, the amount you got whilst repairing the car. Hence my question. What is the use of repairing the vehicles in gangster paradise? Is this some hidden achievement or has this something to do with the chop-shop?

How do I ignite my torch?

I know this sounds silly and there is probably something that I am obviously missing, but I have looked on several different websites and none of them tell me how to ignite the torch. I've gotten several pieces of information on what they do and how the timer works and that you can use them to ignite the pyres about the world to give you extra light, but the one piece of information that I just cannot find is how to turn it on. I checked the help stuff in the menu, but it won't let me hover over the torch timer or tell me how to do it. My retail copy didn't come with a manual either (I don't know if anyone's did). And if it was explained during the tutorial, I died jumping down off the ledge near the one of the first pyres you come across. Do I have to visit a bonfire? There is no "torch" item in my inventory to equip nor is there a usable item in my consumables. I've tried every button combination that I can think of as well.


Why are Vestaldt's, Nashandra's and Throne Watcher/Defender Souls similar?

Ok so it's pretty self explanatory why Nashandra's soul has a "dark" appearance, (she is Manus, and Manus' soul was almost identical) but why do the Throne Watcher, the Throne Defender, and Vestaldt's have a similar appearance? Weren't they working against the queen? The only time she shows herself to you is after you have reclaimed the King's Ring, (killed Vestaldt) and cleared the Throne of Want, (defeated the Throne duo). So if they were corrupted by the dark, would they not be working to help Nashandra? Artorias (in DkS1) was corrupted by the dark, and his soul has a similar appearance, but even he had the sense to attempt to ward you off, in hopes that you would not fall to the Dark, before he was completely overtaken.

How to obtain all three Strongholds?

I know about the Glitch that allows to be a Telvanni and Hlaalu member at the same time, though I haven't tested it yet, and one can cheat ones way into all houses. But since the last stronghold quests involve the other two house's strongholds, I'm afraid that simply joining all houses and doing the quests will somehow screw up all but the last stronghold. So, how to proceed to obtain all three strongholds in full extension? I'm not opposed to cheating, though achieving this as honest as possible is preferred. **edit** I'm also fine using a mod, if you can suggest one that solves this without much interference1. * * * 1 actually, interference that modifies the dialogues such that the Nerevarine joining all three houses sounds more plausible wouldn't be that bad...


TF2 stutters with high FPS, low ping

I recently acquired a second monitor and installed it with an HDMI cable. Since then TF2 has been choppy, even though I have high FPS and a low ping. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? My guess is its something to do with the second monitor. I have a GTX 760 that outputs to both monitors. Specs: i5-4670k, 8 GB RAM, Windows 7. That should be everything relevant to this problem.


Which suppressed/silenced weapons don't make you appear on minimap?

In BF3 each time you shoot, you automatically appear on enemy's minimap. However with silenced weapons (eg. pistols) you don't. Things are less clear how it works with other suppressed (SMGs, carabines, LMGs, rifles). There have been reports that with some you do, some you don't. So which do, which don't? I'm interested how the situation is right now (post 24-November patch) or even better how it will look after next week's patch.


What's the fastest/easiest way to level up your skills?

Basically subj. The skills and what I found so far is:   * Stamina: just run, sprint, cycle, swim, whatever. Just move and it will grow(not that fast though)   * Shooting: personally I found _shooting range_ to be a really fast way to improve your shooting skills   * Strength: fist fighting   * Stealth: performing stealth kills   * Flying: probably just flying, didn't bother about it yet   * Driving: got the most problems here. Playing as a Trevor I can't get past 1.8 or 1.9 bars(which is 36-38%). Drove for hours around and still can't get it any higher   * Lung Capacity: staying underwater for as long as possible can very slowly but surely increase your lung capacity Am I correct with the ones I know? And what would you recommend for the other ones?

Is there a site that lists Xbox 360 FPS with offline co-op mode?

I will buy a XBOX 360 FPS game for my brother for Christmas. Because we play oft together, I would like to buy a FPS which supports co-op offline playing. We have had a lot of fun with COD MW2, COD World At War (a little bit frustrating that it didn't save our progress in co-op mode though). I am looking into a series of lists, but the problem is that they always consider online co-op, which is not what we want. Do you know any lists of Xbox 360 FPS games with offline co-op mode?

Is it possible to hide first person blood stains in Black Mesa Source?

After trying out black mesa source I decided that the game has a lot of replay value, I missed many things and there are still achievements, but still the #1 thing which annoyed me the most during the game was the blood stains that you get on your hands and/or weapon when you kill an enemy. Here's a picture for reference: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Yv41i.jpg) Is it possible to remove it?

Call of Duty MW3 Prestige token lost

How do you run multiple servers or worlds at the same time with MineOS Crux?

I am trying to run multiple servers at the same time using MineOS Crux. I am new to this so hopefully this is not obvious. I am experimenting right now with MineOS Crux running on a VirtualBox, and that all runs and works as expected. I can launch the WebUI, and configure the servers, but then when I run the Minecraft client from the Host PC, and try to connect to the servers running on the Virtual PC by using the Add Server screen in client and specifying both IP and Port (as IP:PORT), I seem to only ever be able to connect to one, and only if that one is running on the default port (25565). I have tried setting different port numbers for the different servers, and that allows them to both start, but then in the client I can't connect to the second one. I have tried setting port forwarding on my router to both the host PC and the MineOS Crux virtual PC, but no luck either way (although after thought I realized that shouldn't matter because my host PC and my VM server are both inside my router network). I want to be able to have 2 or more servers running at the same time so that multiple worlds are available from the server. Is there something I'm missing, or can this not be done? I could perhaps make multiple virtual PCs, and run separate MineOS Crux servers in them, but is that the only way? **Maybe to clarify:** Perhaps my first question should be: Is it possible to run more than one **_vanilla_** Minecraft server from a single instance of MineOS Crux and connect to them simultaneously from separate clients?


What causes a treasure Yeti to run away?

I was on a level against a treasure Yeti. I don't remember having this problem previously but it could simply be due to the plants I was using. In this case, I was using the short range snapdragon plants so I was not covering the right most columns. I wasn't paying full attention, but by the time I saw the treasure Yeti, it was already retreating off the screen, causing me to miss the chest. What caused this behavior and what other things can the yeti zombie do?

Which one of the Gutter boys did it?

In the quest Wont Get Fooled Again, you are tasked with solving a murder most foul. I immediately noticed the quadruplets had different weapons and knew their equipment was going to be the key to identifying the killer. The clues pertaining to their equipment were:   * The victim died of a **bullet** wound. (Wasn't the guy with the rocket launcher)   * One of the Gutter boys ran into Moxxi's looking for a safe haven. **He had a shield**. Since only one of the gutter boys had a shield, the choice seemed obvious. When I accused him, One of the other suspects yelled "WRONG" and ran away. I completed the quest and got the reward. Did I miss something here? Is this a scripted failure? Would I have gotten a better reward if I had chosen correctly? **Note:** Dr. Zed said he "healed one up as good as new", but I didn't see any evidence of this on any of them.

Remove the "You are now attacking/defending!" message

I'd like to remove this message whenever I join a server. If that is not possible, I'd like to shorten the length it shows there for. It's very distracting and makes it harder to play while it's up. I'm talking about this message: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/baaG9.jpg)

Can I use Rock Band 2 Intruments from the Wii on Xbox

Since the Wii version of the instruments are connected to the console through USB, I was wondering if it was possible to use them on the other current consoles such as Xbox 360 and PS3. I know that the game software doesn't carry over, I was just wondering about the hardware.


What's the most cost-effective way to improve stats?

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game has quite a few stores where you can buy items that improve your stats (strength, defense, etc.), including hidden stores which have really expensive items.

What's the reward for completing Nightmare Mode?

At the end of the Nightmare Mode overworld, there's a big honking present. ![Screenshot of present](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0cGGb.png) If you tap it, it says you have to complete Nightmare Mode in order to open it. All 36 invaded levels, in a row, without dying. I'm pretty sure that nobody has done or will ever be able do this, but on the off chance that I'm wrong, I'm still curious. What's in the box?


Does interacting with cameras "do" anything?

Every so often I come across cameras like this one: ![Borderlands2Camera](http://i.stack.imgur.com/uGSxd.png) They open up when I get close, and it seems I need to get within a certain radius to "activate" them. However, once they are "activated" it doesn't seem like anything else happens. Does interacting with them cause any other effect?


How do you message other players in Starcraft 2?

In Starcraft 1, it was `/w <username> <message>`, but that doesn't work anymore. I thought they just removed that ability, but today I received a message from my opponent after our game was over. So, how do you message players who aren't on your friends' list?

What increases pet damage?

I've seen the following claims:   * Attack speed does not increase pet damage   * 1% attack speed increases pet damage with 1%   * Crit does not affect pet damage   * Pet damage is mostly crit damage (may only apply on the big dog from Tall man's finger) There's the obvious direct effect's that state pets in their text, so obviously they work with pets. But can someone give clarity about exactly what stats on the hero increase pet damage? As for the types of pets: is their damage not all calculated the same? If not it would be good to know the differences.


Sphere equipping strategies

What strategies are there to consider when equipping a unit with spheres? Using generic stat increasing spheres like Giants Shield for example, is it best to equip it to a unit with naturally high defense for a greater start gain? Or should I use it on a lower defense unit to supplement their weakness? Is there another strategy to consider?
