How to successfully EV train?

I have a level one Bulbasaur, and I plan on EV training him to a Venasaur. If I wanted him to be a tank, how many wings would I need to get him to have best HP, S DEF, and DEF? I used wings because they are 1 EV point each (his starting stats are 12 HP, 6 Attack, 6 Defense, 5 Special Attack, 6 Special Defense, 6 Speed). Also, if I use a Macho Brace, would I get 2 EV points per wing, or does the Macho Brace only apply to battle earned EVs? And, can I use the right amount of wings at LV one, then get him to LV 100?


How does +% damage on weapons work?

Say, for example, I have a weapon with 500 DPS and for stats it says +20% damage, +120 vitality, etc. Is that +20% damage incorporated with the 500 DPS shown or is it 500dps + an additional 20% damage? I assume it is incorporated otherwise it would make those weapons a bit too op no? Then again it is quite redundant to show +% dmg on wep if it is already added to the dps.   * Is this number already factored into the listed DPS of the weapon?   * Does this number affect anything beyond the base damage of the weapon it is on?      * If so, how?      * Does it affect my off-hand weapon if I'm dual wielding?      * Is it applied before my primary stat's multipliers?


Is a copy of SimCity bought via PC download on Origin automatically activated on install?

I bought my copy of SimCity on March 5th via PC download on Origin. When I install the game is automatically activated, right? Or do I have to do anything else? Because in order to claim the EA Free game the game has to be activated. Thanks!


ePSXe is not working in Windows 8.1

I recently built a computer for my dad to replace an aging Win. XP sp3 machine that I had built him years ago. It's a really nice little machine with the following relevant specs: AMD A10 6790k APU   2x4gb 2133 DDR3 SDRAM   120GB Corsair Neutron SSD   2TB WD Green drive   Windows 8.1 home - sadly So here my problem, I can't get ePSXe to work on it. This is a HUGE provlem. Now he really does like this new computer I've built him. But he likes Brigandine so much he's considering asking me to put the old one back together just for the purpose of playing Brigandine. I really don't want to do that or try to keep it running indefinitely. Does ANYONE know of a way to get the ePSXe emulator or any other PS1 emulator up and running in Windows 8.1?


Batman Arkham City Watcher in the Wings side mission is impossible?

I have recently started the Watcher in the Wings side mission. I have found all four locations for Azrael and found his final location, but I didn't scan the symbol behind him. Now, when I try to scan the symbol again, it says symbol already scanned and it is now impossible for me to complete the side mission. I've tried restarting the XBox, but it didn't help. I really don't want to restart the game, since I have all Riddler trophies and riddles solved. Can anyone help?

Can gold passives be stacked on a minion kill?

If I was Gangplank, and killed a minion with my Q on Twisted Treeline with control of at least one altar, and had the Avarice blade, would I receive gold for all of the above bonuses? Or would some of them cancel each other? How many gold passives can stack? Is there a maximum gold limit per minion kill? *Edit: Deleted the outdated things


How to fix extreme lag in Diablo III Cinematics?

I bought Diablo 3 a few days ago. The game is running quite smoothly, with all graphic and audio options set to the maximum and 1920x1080 resolution. The cinematics, however, are played with such extremely low performance that I have to skip them in-game and go watch them at YT. My specs are:   * Core i7 2860QM @ 2.5ghz   * 8GB DDR3   * SSD   * NVidia GeForce GT540M 2gb   * Windows 7 Ultimate 64 (UAC disabled, all drivers up to date) What must I do to stop the in-game videos from heavily stuttering, so I can watch them in-game instead of on Youtube?


What is the best Quickscoping class set-ups for Call of Duty Ghosts?

I seem to have trouble to "quickscope" in Ghosts. I believe that this is because they have nerfed the snipers in this game. Although I go to youtube and people are quickscoping a lot (I.E. Darth Super and GG Nine). So it confuses me as a sniper.


Is there any guaranteed way to complete the Like Water achievement?

The Like Water Achievement Monk Class specific achievement requires you to dodge 15 attacks in a row. Dodge is a percentage chance with diminishing returns as I understand it. I boost my Dex quite high when I can and even using Mantra of Evasion, Fists of Thunder, Sixth Sense and Guardian's Path with 2 1-H weapons I still can't seem to get 15 consecutive dodges. Am I doing something wrong? Does enemy level vs. your level make a difference to dodge chance? Is there any way to increase dodge that I am missing? Is my Dex maybe too low and if so, how high would it need to be to get this achievement? **In short, how do I get the Like Water achievement?** Specific details on the minimum setup needed would be much appreciated if relevant. Extra points for math as well.

Block drop key for a certain item

So, a while ago I dropped my valuable power tool in the nether by accidentally pressing `Q` and it fell into the lava so I needed to craft and upgrade a new one. Of course I don't want that to happen again. My question is if it would be possible to block the drop key for the power tool so that when I press `Q` it doesn't drop, but when I press it with an other item in my hand, for example dirt, the dirt blocks would still drop. I am using the _direwolf20_ modpack.


What are the various melee combat combinations?

During the early introductions to the game when you get jumped by multiple guys on the way to Winsten you get shown a bunch of melee combo attacks in quick succession, comprising of left clicking and left click and hold - similar to the way it works in Remember Me. Since there were several combos shown in quick succession and I immediately forgot most of them, I'm finding myself just spam clicking to attack. Additionally, none of these combos appear to be detailed in any of the menus. What are the various melee combat combinations in Sleeping Dogs?


How do I create client state pacifically?

I started my first Rome2 game as the Breton faction. I subdued Britannia except for one region, which is my defensive ally. When I go to the diplomatic menu, I have the "confederation" option, which seems to be simple assimilation. But no option for State client or satrapi. Does the ability to creat cleint states depend on your culture? Is confederation the only option for Celtics to subdue pacifically ?


Transfer experience to items

Is there anything in the direwolf20 modpack which would allow you to transfer experience from the player to a machine or item for later use? Maybe something like a Bottle O' Enchanting which you can fill with your own experience orbs.


The in-game graphics settings for Sleeping Dogs appear to be rather simplistic: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xSJRF.jpg) The "Fullscreen" option toggles whether the game is fullscreen or shown in a window with a border around it.

Will less trees mean a higher chance for bugs to spawn on the given trees?

In Animal Crossing New Leaf, on my Tropical Island, I have many trees that are out of the way and hard to use properly. I plan on removing them, but, when I do, will there be a higher chance for bugs to spawn on the trees that are there, or, will the chance decrease due to less trees?

How to make sense of the Cave Story+ soundtrack in the Humble Indie Bundle 4 release?

HIB4 has recently added soundtracks for the seven games to the pack. The sound track I opened first was Cave Story's, but... it's... kind of a mess really. I've been trying to match up the filenames with this canonical ordering (kindly suggested by the always awesome Grace Note), but the file names just don't match and the release doesn't come with a playlist with some kind of logical ordering. So... what's the listening order for this release?


What is a Quantum Network Bridge

I'm looking over parts of the AE Mod I haven't experimented with yet and I can't help but notice the interesting looking Quantum Network Bridge. I'm reading it's description but my stupid bone is acting up and I'm not entirely sure I understand the information exactly. I _think_ this is to bridge two networks, just like in real life. Am I correct? Is this structure's purpose to connect two otherwise unconnected networks so they can access each-other's inventory and crafting system?


Do I gain any XP from an AI surrendering?

If you play against the AI, at a certain point it will offer a surrender, say GG, and you can either accept or decline. When this happens, there is still a number of buildings (and possibly units) left to defeat. Destroying them gives XP, which will help me level, but if I accept the defeat, then I won't be able to destroy these units. **Does accepting a surrender give me any XP? If so, is it more, less, or equal to defeating the rest of the remaining units/buildings?**


How to add new services to a store in Mega Mall Story?

I have played this game through once, and noticed that I often struggled with being able to add new services to shops. They often said "Hard" or "Very Hard", and I know that in other Kairosoft games, you can trigger different things to make this type of thing easier. Is there a way to make adding services easier, so I don't keep wasting hearts trying to do it over and over again?

Are there multiple Frostivus difficulties?

When selecting a difficulty for Frostivus, my options are:   * Normal   * New Game+   * New Game++ Is this a bug? Are they showing up like this on everyone else's clients?

What Achievements, Titles, Items, Mounts and Pets, (etc.) Are being removed in Patch 5.0/Mists of Pandaria?

WoW has a long history of removing content with the release of new expansions. While the most obvious case of this was the removal of, for example, Zul Gurub, and with it, the old Tiger and Raptor mounts with the release of Cataclysm, there have been several other examples of now classic titles or items that are no longer obtainable because the quests required to reach them, or the dungeons in which they dropped, or whatever, have since been removed from the game. And just as the removal of content is something of an age old tradition, so is using the lull before a new expansion to farm up those last few achievements, to waste time grinding that one rep that's about to be removed, or farming a dungeon to get that one last piece of that old tier .5 gear that you won't be able to get anymore to complete your set. But so far, as the release date for Mists rapidly approaches, I'm yet to see a list of exactly what's going away, which is of course, an important tool before engaging in such an exercise. So, what's being removed? I'm especially interested in titles, achievements, mounts and pets, but any notable reputations, set items or cosmetic items, are of course worth mentioning as well.


Can you change difficulty on Spartan Ops Multiplayer

Can you change the difficulty on matchmaker Spartan Ops missions? There are some challenges to complete the missions on Legendary, and I didn't see any place where I could search for matches with higher difficulty. Do I have to stick to solo mode or playing with friends to play Spartan Ops on Legendary?


How much does it cost to remove a gem?

I'm starting to get lots of gear with sockets and gems to insert into said sockets. I know you can remove the gems but how much does it cost? I assume it's based on something like the cost of the gear and gem, but I'd rather know roughly how much it'll run me before I go and blow all my money playing musical gems in my low level gear.

Who sells jewelry?

Covetous Shen seems obsessed with gems but not the other sparkly fashion accessories that make my character absolutely _fabulous_ , so I can't rely on him for a minimum upgrade for amulets and rings. The vendor in the north of New Tristam sold me my first pair of rings, but I'm in act III and I don't know where to look to try to upgrade my very dated rings and amulet. Who and where are vendors that sell rings and amulets in each act?


How can I prevent being affected by the fear effect from nightmarish mobs?

The "Nightmarish" elite mobs have a certain chance to cause a fear effect on the player, which causes him to run away for a few seconds. While I'm running away I'm not hitting the monsters. Sometimes the chance of being affected is so high that I spend more time running away in fear than actually hitting the monsters. What affects the chance of this effect happening, and how can I defend myself against it?

Why was everything unlocked the first time I started Portal 2 coop?

I was playing Portal 2 co-op for the first time. We were on PC in split-screen mode. When the game started, we were dumped into a level selection chamber, and a voice announced that all levels were now unlocked. Why did this happen? In addition to not having unlocks, there was apparently an intro cut-scene and a tutorial level we missed?

How to proceed past the collapsed pipe in Half Life: Opposing Force, chapter "Missing in Action", part of2a3

I went down the elevator shaft, turned off the power, climbed up to the top floor, into the vent, down through the collapsing pipe and found myself on the other side of the red door, the way forward blocked by a locked door with explosives right behind and a mighty wall of debris. So I'm stuck. This is where I am precisely and what I've tried, but nothing seems to work to go past these barriers. (I apologize but Livestream seems to enjoy skipping up bits and pieces of the stream for some reason.) Am I just looking in the wrong place? How do I proceed from here?


How to find missing areas to explore?

While vistas, POIs, wps, hearts and skill points are listed and easily visible on the map, allowing a player to compare a fully explored map from the internet with his own map, this is not completely true for the concept of "areas", required for certain achievements split in Ascalon, Kryta, Maguuman and Shiverpeaks. To get 100% map completion you don't need to explore every area, so it becomes hard to tell, in the end, which areas you missed while exploring. What is then the faster way to see which areas are missing? Is it just a matter of looking manually for "blurs" in the map where you haven't been yet? Bonus question: Will exploring different areas of the map with different characters on the same account add up in the achievement (like jumping puzzle, for example) or, like standard world completion, you have to explore them all with the same character?


SWTOR View Distance

I have an annoying problem regarding the view distance in Star Wars: The Old Republic. It used to have a slider during beta where you could adjust the distance stuff would be shown. But now I can't find that setting. This results in NPCs materializing near my postition. Just like Scotty beamed them down. No, it is not a respawn; it happens with all the NPCs. Best visible when moving towards big creatures like the bantha or icetromper. Grass and flowers seem to grow as I move towards them. Using the interfleet transport I can see the front of the space station but everything in it is drawn when I close in. This means at first I can see through the space station and have a magnificent look on the sun in the background. How can I adjust the view distance?   * Nvidia GTX 570   * Driver Version 285.62   * Windows 7 64-bit * * * ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/RtjAE.jpg) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/nCy21.jpg) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/aD1Hk.jpg)

Can you reorder magic stones after you pick them up in Chantelise?

I can't find anything in the manual regarding this. I know that certain stone combinations will create different spells, so I'm wondering if I need to adjust my current "strategy" of just running around and picking up whatever stones are lying on the ground, or if there's a way to arrange them after the fact. If there's not, then I'll know I need to be more picky about what stones I pick up when.


What is the "attack" of an attack called?

"Attack" is a term used in music to describe the time from the beginning to the peak of a musical note.

I've only found that the time _after_ the attack is called "recovery".


Joystick does not turn properly in Battlefield 3

I'm experimenting with the Logitech Force 3D Pro joystick. I have the controls working, but I can't seem to turn properly. With the keyboard I can turn with A and D; how can I turn like that with my joystick? I can only tilt up, down and roll to the left and right. It's a huge problem because this is used a lot. It seems that the joystick configuration is made to fly jets not helicopters, although I have seen people fly helicopters with joysticks like mine.

How do I maximize the loot from a treasure Goblin?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How do the Treasure Goblins work? Treasure Goblins are feisty little monsters that drop gold trails as you chase them around, and explode in a giant explosion of coins and loot when you finally bring them down. Is the gold the goblin drops while fleeing separate from their "on-death" spoils, or does it get drawn from the same pool? If I want the most gold from the Goblin, should I kill them immediately, or wait for them to litter the ground with gold a bit, first? How do the Treasure Goblins work? explains _what_ they are, and their general behavior, but I know that already; I'm more interested in the strategy that milks the most coins from their grubby little paws. Should I obliterate them ASAP? Or should I let them leave a trail of coins for as long as possible before offing them?

Can Cubeworld Alpha be played offline like Minecraft Alpha

When i got Minecraft when it was in Alpha i was glad that apart from having to connect to the internet to get the majority of the game and update it i could just copy the files to my gaming pc and play it offline (since i don't have her connect to the internet) so i am wondering, can Cubeworld be played offline in a similar fashion to Minecraft (copy all the files to another computer) and play it just fine, i'd like to know before i commit to buying a copy as the i doubt the laptop i connect to the net would be able to play it


Do abilities based on weapon damage take both one-handers into account?

This question is good for finding out how damage is calculated precisely. However, nobody seems to mention something about this: When a skill is based on weapon damage, does it take into account both one handed weapons or only one of them (the main-hand?).


How do you check to see which friends are online without leaving the game?

On the Xbox One, how do you check to see which friends are online without leaving the game?


I am really enjoying the naval aspect of the game. It's fun to take out ships and steal their goods. But it's getting a bit repetitive boarding the ships when all I want is their loot. Considering that a destroyed ship usually drops cargo and crew for me to pick up, it seems this is the faster way to go. If hunting/pirating here is anything like Assassin's Creed 3, where the cleanest kills provide higher quality or more goods, I'm unsure if a "cleaner" attack would get me more/better loot. So far, I only see two reasons why I might want to board them:   1. to repair my ship or   2. to lower my wanted level. I don't really need to repair my ship most of the time because I'm able to disable ships very quickly without a scratch. I don't really care for lowering my wanted level, it attracts more and larger hunter ships for me to destroy and plunder. **Is it more profitable to destroy ships for their loot or to board them?**


In the previous game, the wind direction played a huge role in how fast you sailed (as expected). If you sailed against the wind, you'd sail slower than if you had sailed with the wind. In this game however, it doesn't seem to be the case. You can sail at what seems to be the same speed if you sailed against the wind. You even see the wind direction arrow turn red when going against it but still... no slowdowns. I'm guessing it would have an influence on the direction rogue waves go during storms, but this also isn't the case. It seems like the wind direction does absolutely nothing. **Does the wind direction have any effect on anything while sailing?**

What are the formulas for calculating Attack & Defence when battling in Age of Legends?

What is the exact formula that is used to calculate your Attack or Defense. Please note, this game is made by Uken Games which has quite a few games that are exactly the same but with different themes (i.e. Dark Galaxies, Heroes and Villians, etc.) If you know the formulas for any of the other Uken Games, please post that as a potential answer because it is most likely correct.

How can I beat the Bobsled Bonanza Mini Game?

I just purchased a new mini-game pack in Plants vs. Zombies on my iPhone. One level is Bobsled Bonanza, which puts you against a ton of Zombonis and Zombie Bobsled Teams. To kill these zombies you have to use either the jalepeno (which costs 125 sun points) or the Cherry Bomb (which costs 150). The problem is, **there are not enough spaces to plant on or time to plant flowers to generate the sun point to buy jalepenos or Cherry Bombs quickly enough**. I have:   * Used the imitater plant to mimic the jalepeno, so I can use two back-to-back. This works, but I also rarely have time to generate enough points to buy two quickly.    * Used the Squash (which is a cheap 50 points), which efficiently takes out Zombonis. The problem is they don't take out the entire Bobsled Teams and regenerate slowly. I don't see any other cheap options for taking out Zombonis, and no cheap options for taking out Bobsled Teams.   * I tried planting sunflowers in the water, to free up grass space for Peashooters and Potato Mines, but I have to plant lilypads if I do that, which takes an extra 25 points, and means I can plant fewer sunflowers in the same amount of time. I have made it 75% of the way through this mini-game before being overwhelmed by the onslaught of zombies. What strategy am I overlooking?


How do I minimize hauling distances / times?

In towns there's a lot of hauling resources from one place to another, typically from where they're produced/farmed/mined to where they are made into other items or consumed. I'm particularly interested in minimizing distances for things that turn up in dungeons, such as the various metals from the mines. As I go deeper down the distances townies have to walk just to collect one piece of metal can add up. Obviously I've already constructed shafts that they can use to go straight down rather than walking about on different layers, however they can only be where the metal is. How can I get around the fact that the metal is far from where its needed? Is it worth creating an entire resource chain (Anvil, etc.) nearby?


Split Screen Network Link Borderlands 2

Clarification on bonus hits from passives

I need some clarification on the "additional hit" effects from passives in The Secret World:   * Can additional hits perform critical hits?   * Does an additional hit count as "hit"? (like a hit from an ability)   * Can an additional hit proc other passives (or even the passive which triggered the hit)? I'm guessing they won't do anything from the above (could create very "broken combinations") but I'm not sure since I'm new to the game.


Cannot connect to my dedicated, steam-group L4D2 server

I have successfully setup a dedicated L4D2 server on my Linux box. I can manually connect to it with `connect <myip>`, so I believe I have all the basics setup correctly. I'm trying to get the server to show up on the "Steam Group Servers" list so that its relatively easy to find and configure through the UI. However, its not showing up there. There are some servers in there from other Steam Groups I'm in, but not this server. (As far as I can tell, the server isn't showing up anywhere in the UI...) (A Steam Group seems like a nice way to make the server "private" without requiring a password.) Here's my primitive `server.cfg`.

How can I heal my monk efficiently on higher difficulties?

The monk has a dedicated healing Breath of Heaven, but that one has a 15 seconds cooldown and only heals me for around 20% of my current health on Nighmare difficulty now. I prefer to use Serenity with Peaceful Repose as an alternative, but it heals for around the same amount, and the 3 seconds immunity aren't enough in many cases. There's also the mantra of healing, but that also doesn't heal for a lot on activation, and the passive regeneration is by far too weak to help in actual combat. The healing spells the monk has access to don't seem to scale well, what alternatives are there to keep my monk healed on the higher difficulty levels?

How can you make a baby into a kid? I really want to give it an Age O Matic, but there's no way to give it items because the game doesn't have a mode to interact with it other than Babysit mode, which I've pretty much _not_ mastered.

Is it possible/what happens when you clear the pool table?

In Duke Nukem Forever, right near the start of the game before you get in the lift, there is a pool or snooker table. I have been trying for ages now to clear the table by sinking all the balls, and am getting fed up, but, the closest I can get is one ball away before potting the white and the game restarting. I am guessing it is possible, but does anyone know what happens?


Is the satellite rush tactic sustainable on classic?

I picked up Enemy Within during Steam's winter sale, and I just finished a normal playthrough. Enemy Within seems to have added the tactical & strategic depth I felt the base game lacked, so I'm still in the mood for another playthrough, and I figured I'd try classic difficulty. I haven't had much trouble putting up 3 satellites in the first month, but I haven't figured out how to put up another 3 or so in the second month. There just doesn't seem to be enough time to excavate, build a power generator (or two), build a workshop to get enough engineers, and _then_ build a 2nd satellite nexus. On normal I was able to launch 3 satellites a month every month until I had full coverage, but I can't see how to do it on classic. Is it possible, and if so, how do you do it?


Glitch when trying to install Shader mod with Forge

I recently saw a video showing off SonicEther's Unbelievable Shaders Mod, and I thought it looked cool so I tried to install it. I followed a few tutorials, and the steps I took to install it were:   1. Installed Forge for minecraft 1.7.2, no errors.   2. Installed GLSL shaders mod for 1.7.2, no errors and show up in-game.   3. Put the Shader pack in the shaderpack folder (clicked open shaderpacks folder in minecraft), no errors and the shader pack shows up in the selection menu. But when I try to go in-game and look at it, I get the glitch shown in this video. I tried installing 1.6.4 with the same steps, I got the same error. I couldn't find anyone else with the error so I eventually gave up. But, I really don't want to give up on this mod. I'm hoping someone knows how to fix this.


Hard mode and challenge mode trophies on same play-through in R&C:A Crack In Time?

Is it possible to get the "Q-Force Champion" trophy (for completing the game on hard) during a challenge mode play-through? I completed the game on medium difficulty, and it gave me the trophies "Q-Force Cadet" (complete game on casual) and "Q-Force Hero" (complete game on medium). Next I set the difficulty to hard and started a challenge mode play-through. When I finished I got the "Glutton for Punishment" trophy (complete game on challenge mode), but I didn't get "Q-Force Champion" (complete game on hard). Was there a bug or can you only get the difficulty trophies on a non-challenge play-through?

Why can I not raise certain skills?

I recently got Mass Effect 1 and started playing. I am an Infiltrator, so I primarily use snipers. (Probably not the easiest to start with). When I level up, the 'sniper rifle' level of skill points is inaccessible to me, as well as a few others: fitness being one. Is there a reason for this? What sort of level can I start putting points into it?


Can I choose the lane on which bots go when playing a LoL custom game?

When playing a League of Legends custom game, whatever the champions I may select in my team, I always end with:   * two bots going on the bottom lane   * one bot going on the middle lane   * one bot going on the top lane Beside the complete lack of sense in some choices (Shen in middle lane is quite common), this forces me to play as a jungler or go on the top lane. Is there a way to change the lane used by the bots, to allow me to practice playing in the middle lane for exemple (or play on the bottom lane with a support)?

What changes to the story/narration are there in New Game+?

_Warning: potential spoilers if you've not finished at least once_ So I've been playing through New Game+ in Bastion, I'm on the 3rd or 4th Shard now so quite far. At the start of the game, and I mean _right_ at the start, I heard an echo of Rucks saying "Maybe I'll see you in the next one" before his first speech, which I believe was the last thing he said at the end of the Restoration finale. Then, when entering the saloon later in the wharf, Rucks interrupts himself when talking about the bar keep and mumbles something before continuing - having a deja vu moment it seems. Because of these two I was then expecting more of these references to the time loop throughout the game, but I haven't noticed any others. Have I missed them, are there only these two, or are there more to come at the end?


How do I open the barred door in the Derelict Row sewers?

What would be a good map and/or vehicle to focus my attempts, and is there a trick to getting the roadkill to register?

Is Runaan's Hurricane worth it on Kennen or Caitlyn?

Runaan's Hurricane, if it hits extra targets, counts as hits for Kennen's W passive and Caitlyn's headshot passive. This increases the frequency of stuns and extra damage on both champions. You also get a 70% attack speed bonus from the item. Typically, hurricane is not seen as viable. But in these cases, is it worth getting over other items?

How does experience work for skills in world of tanks?

I've got a tank that has just reached 100% crew experience level and, all excited, I set some skills to advance. My Commander had a skill "Signal Boosting" and I received 500 experience points for a match; all my experience is being sent into "accelerate crew training" and it says that I only need 72 xp to "Upgrade Skill" (estimated one battle) But after the 500 xp my skills only went up to 12%, what's happening here? Even with 500 xp divided amoungst the 4 crew that would seem to be >72 xp needed!

What are all the gender/racial perks?

According to this post, your race and gender create a ratio that affects melee damage, run speed, and jump height. Aside from listed racial abilities and starting skills, is anything else in the game affected by your race/gender combo?    For reference, the linked chart:               Argonian Male: 1.01          Argonian Female: 1.00     Breton Male:   1.00          Breton Female:   0.95     Dark Elf Male: 1.00          Dark Elf Female: 1.00     High Elf Male: 1.08          High Elf Female: 1.08     Imperial Male: 1.00          Imperial Female: 1.00     Khajiit Male:  1.00          Khajiit Female:  0.95     Nord Male:     1.03          Nord Female:     1.03     Orc Male:      1.04          Orc Female:      1.04     Redguard Male: 1.00          Redguard Female: 1.00     Wood Elf Male: 0.98          Wood Elf Female: 1.00         **Edit:** It seems race/gender also affect a character's weight, but it's unknown what effect weight has on the game.

How do I set up a pond for efficient drainage?

I currently have two large ponds filled with water to depth 7 that I need to get drained. Because I didn't think very hard about how liquid flow works, the out pipe on the one is one tile wide, controlled by a floodgate, and it's draining really slowly. The other one doesn't have an out pipe yet, but I had pretty much the same plan. I'm thinking there must be a more efficient way to do this. Do I simply need a wider out-pipe? If so, can I connect multiple floodgates to one lever? (I'm favoring mechanical simplicity here.) Or is there an even better way? Assume that my pond isn't actually flooded, so a good pre-flooding setup will work too. Here's a picture of the more interesting pond: ![My death pond](http://i.stack.imgur.com/V5fFx.png) This one is directly below my trap-filled maze, hence all the ballista arrows, blood and corpses. I flooded it for a long siege which just finished up. The larger body of water to the north is the river, with its floodgate closed. The out pipe goes off to the west and ends at a floodgate (open) and a fortification (flooded). The tubes are weirdly shaped because that red ore is delicious hematite. And yes, my pond of death is adjacent to my bedroom area.

Why is this happening and how can I fix it?


How to install the Steam version of DC Universe Online using the DCUO install CD's?

I recently had to reinstall everything on my computer due to system and hardware failure. What I would like to do is to install the DC Universe Online game on Steam. However, when I use the DVD's that are included with it, I cannot use or access the in-game overlay. I've done this with other games (such as Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3) where I can use the non-Steam version and play it through Steam to get the overlay. I know it's purely cosmetic and the what not but I still want to do it. So again, my question is: Is there a way to use the DC Universe Online installation CD's to install the game through Steam? Or are they two different version and no way to patch one to be the other?


BF3 or MoH:W, are they really different?

I'm really confused with EA's strategy to update their current shooting franchise and to release a new game for another. I REALLY enjoyed MoH (especially the single player which remains the best one I've played in a shooter for a while) and I play BF3 every now and then. But now with the release of BF3:Premium and the upcoming MoH:Warfighter, I'm really confused. It seems that there aren't a lot of differences between both games now, is there? I haven't been able to see a good side-by-side comparison between BF3 and MoH:W anywhere on the internet... Can you guys can help me out?


Are there any benefits to zoning with empty space?

I've seen a few videos and many screenshots with people using various designs for their zoning, and I'm curious as to their reasons behind them. ![plots](http://i.imgur.com/psWPrwR.png) The first design is what I've seen the most, though the center of the area remains unused until larger buildings are constructed. The middle design has better coverage for early construction, though the extra cost of roads can get expensive for a city just starting out. The last design seemed very odd to me, as it would only use half of its available space until the density of the area increased. **Is there any benefit to leaving empty space in your plots?**

Does uninstalling Steam also uninstall games installed through steam?

If anyone caught me in chat, I'm currently having problems with Steam, which is keeping me _not only_ from playing Portal 2, but also from accessing any of the other 28 steam game shortcuts on my desktop. I'm considering just uninstalling and then reinstalling Steam, hoping that will knock loose whatever wheels got clogged in the first place, but, I'd rather look for alternative ways if uninstalling steam means redownloading all of those games. So, do Steam-installed games stay installed on your hard drive when steam itself is removed?


How long is Assassin's Creed Brotherhood compared to 2?

Is it possible to relocate a building expansion after it has been placed?

One of the new features to the game is that you can expand certain buildings adding to its value. You can add more classrooms to a school, add additional generators to a power plant, etc. I'm working on a coal mining specialty and didn't notice that coal shafts can be chained off each other. Well, I accidentally chained a shaft in a spot where I didn't want it and it removed a large building that was previously there. ![coal shaft expansion](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fLMOF.jpg) Coal mining is going well but it is a waste of space how it is currently laid out. I was intending to place any large expansions behind the plant. I wasn't planning to grow out further in the direction it is in right now. Simply turning off the expansion does nothing and attempting to buldoze it selects the whole plant. It seems like the only option for me is to demolish the entire building and rebuild placing the expansions again. But that's easily over §50k that I don't want to have to spend again. Is there a way to remove an expansion after it has been placed?

What is the best class to use for a beginner in Dark Souls?

I've been playing this game for a while now, and it's pretty hard. I'm constantly dying and as a Thief I feel I'm not doing enough damage while I have too little health. I have around 2 hours play time and put all my leveling into Dexterity to do more damage according to the Help Menu. What class should I roll if this is my first play through? Do I need to grind in this game? Or will that not gain me any significant advantage?


How to get Steam to recognize existing game files from a different source?

Let's say I have a game bought on retail/other digital download and installed on my hard drive. I buy the same game (or a minor variant of it, say the GOTY edition) on Steam. It should be possible to use the existing installation to avoid the generally big downloads. This is very useful as it saves both bandwidth and time. Previously, as far as I understood, Steam downloaded the game files directly to `steam\steamapps\common\<game_name>`. Since this folder would be created on starting the download, pausing and closing steam, copying the game files to this folder and then validating game files would make Steam absorb as much as possible and just download the missing files. Currently, Steam downloads the files to `steam\steamapps\downloading\<game_id>` and then moves them over to the aforementioned folder once the download finishes. So first of all, what the final folder would be is not clear. So what would be the correct way of doing the same thing, that is, make steam use as much of the existing files as possible? Should the files be copied to `downloading\\*\`, or should I figure out the actual folder (say via googling) and copy the files to `steamapps\common\\*\`? More specifically, I had a retail copy of Arkham City installed and I just bought the GOTY version on Steam. Now I tried both of the above things, in either case, the validating does not seem to do anything. Assuming I have the correct folder name `steamapps\common\Batman Arkham City GOTY`, according to this, if I copy the files there, Steam seems to just continue with its 17GB download. If I copy it to `steamapps\downloading\200260` then the download keeps stopping every few seconds with "Disk Write Error" after modifying 1 or 2 files, and I have to keep hitting resume.


Bind installed team fortress 2 game to steam

How do I re-add a game to Steam? I have the data files and the ncf file?

Before I realised Steam had a backup option, I tried to manually back up my games. For my game I have the NCF file, and the Game data (the folder from Steam/steamapps/common). I have done the following   1. I put the NCF file in Steam/steamapps   2. I put the game folder in Steam/steamapps/common   3. I restarted my computer Steam still thinks the game is not installed and is trying to make me redownload it. **Is there a way I can let Steam know the game is there?** _Note: I live in Australia, and we have download limits, so I don't want to redownload my whole game again._

What are benefits of the pre-order playable characters, Catwoman and Robin?

In _Batman: Arkham City_ , there are different playable characters that are available with pre-orders. It appears they are either Catwoman, or Robin. I've seen mention of Nightwing, but I think that's for later release. My question is, do these playable characters have an affect on the main storyline? If I have the Catwoman pack, does that change the main storyline? Or, is it different with Robin? Or, are these just typical extra characters available to use in challenge maps, and things like that?

Weapon progress in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

How is the efficiency bonus calculated at the end of Adventure Mode in Peggle?

When you complete level 11-5 to finish Adventure Mode, in addition to the standard end-of-level scoring, you also get an efficiency bonus based on the number of retries you had. How is that bonus calculated? There are a number of levels where it's fairly easy to get a high score (like 5-1), and I'd like to know if it makes sense to "give up" on a level (either by restarting or by trying high-risk shots) when you have a low score rather than simply finishing the level and moving on.


Is it possible to complete all loyalty missions and save Kelly?

I'm playing through Mass Effect 2 again, and I've never figured out how to get everyone out of the suicide mission alive. The Collectors always raid the Normandy when I've got one loyalty mission left to do (usually Legion's). If I don't leave immediately after that, I arrive too late to save Kelly. But if I don't have all the loyalty missions completed, one of the team ends up dead. Is this a sadistic choice, like the Kaidan/Ashley thing from the first game, or is there a way to make sure everyone survives, including Kelly?

Why is the dragon always flailing me around?

I am so determined to kill a dragon but every time I try to melee it, it ends up with it throwing me around and killing me. I can't get out of it since it is a finishing move. I've tried keeping my distance and using only magic and archery but it seems like its not working well since I only have apprentice magic and not very leveled bow skills. So, I want to melee it most of the time. It seems like every time it does this finishing move, my health is around half or lower (half is 50 at the moment...) How can I stop the dragon from flailing me around? Is there some criteria that needs to be met for it to do that move?

I don't remember all my ME2 choices. Can I look them up somehow?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Can I view the outcomes of decisions from past games? I played through ME2 rather haphazardly, saving, reloading, and branching games. I'm not sure what choices I made in the savegame I ended up importing, especially with respect to the heretic geth etc. Is there a way, perhaps with some savegame magic, to get a list of the choices I made in ME2?


Does Explosive Hack deal damage only to enemies?

One of the rank 5 evolutions for the **Sabotage** power is called **Explosive Hack**. The description for this power reads: > Synthetics explode when destroyed, dealing 490 points of damage across a 4 > meter radius Having my enemy explode after I've killed it with Nova could leave me in an even more vulnerable position than usual, as I often run around with a single bar of health in the middle of a fight repeating Charge-> Nova-> Charge. Will the explosion from this skill cause damage to Shepard and her squadmates as well? I'm playing a Vanguard, so I'm rather up close and personal with most enemies, and I need to know if I'll have to take into account random explosions that will damage me when I'm killing things.

Are the steps for making Minecraft portable in 1.6.2 different from the steps used before?

I'm trying to have my Minecraft appdata folder on a different partition (from now on referred to as `D:`). This is what should be where:               D:         Steam         Minecraft             .minecraft      This is my batch file:               @ECHO OFF     SET APPDATA= D:\Minecraft     CD /D %~dp0     java -jar minecraft.jar      It's supposed to set the `%APPDATA%` folder (where Minecraft stores its data) to `D:\Minecraft`, go there, and launch the `minecraft.jar` downloaded from minecraft.net. However, when I run it, I get the following error:               Exception in thread "main" net.minecraft.bootstrap.FatalBootstrapError: Unable to create directory:  D:\Minecraft\.minecraft               at net.minecraft.bootstrap.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:369)      What am I doing wrong? Have the steps for making Minecraft portable in 1.6.2 differed?

What is the best strategy to defeat Uriel?

I've made it to the end of the Necropolis campaign without any major problems. Unfortunately, the end of the campaign is a boss battle against an extremely overpowering Angel and his retinue. In my first attempt, my army was quickly wiped out. Is there any strategy that will make this boss battle easier? You have to deal a ton of damage to Uriel before he defeats your entire army, and he is immune to almost all non-damage spells, so it seems like the only viable strategy is a slugfest (waiting months and months to generate a large enough army to deal the damage required before I get defeated). With regards to my hero, I used the default Anastasya Necromancer (Magic hero). She is level 30 and at the second level of Blood reputation. For skills, I have primarily chosen from Air and Earth magic, so she has almost all the skills / spells in those two branches. My army is a bit on the small side, as I never bothered to convert any of the Inferno towns into Necropolis towns. Obviously if a larger army is required, I can convert those towns and spend the time to obtain a larger army, but I would still be interested in any tactics for the battle.

Co-Op partner leveling faster than I do in Borderlands 2

I am playing _Borderlands 2_ in Co-Op with my husband. We have been playing everything together and don't play these charters without the other, but he is leveling faster than me. It started just as a little more than me and now at level 63 he is almost a whole level ahead. Anyone know why? He doesn't have anything equipped that would give him more experience.

Minecraft Biome / Spawnpoint shifted

My friends and I have had an SMP-server for nearly 6 weeks and everything worked very well. No mods and no plugins so there can't be any problems related to them. After about 3 weeks our normal area changed a bit. for example:   * Our island we've became an ice-island.    * The desert is now covered in snow    * The grass changed in color.  So the biome seems to have changed. Not to mention the spawn point is now 100 blocks from where it was originally, and it is also covered in snow and ice where previously it wasn't. As if this wasn't bad enough, after a huge crash of our server host the same thing happened again. Our "normal" areas changed more and more in ice and snow and the spawn-point is now about 300 blocks away. So it seems that the biomes shifted. I, with my nonexistent programming skill, would say that some data or code for our biome has changed, but I don't know how to fix it. Is there a data editor or other program that will allow me to fix this? I've read in another question that a backup restore would be the best, but the last backup we made is a VERY long time ago, nearly our whole city would be erased. I would like to avoid that option. I've read a lot of threads on the internet but no one knows why this happens or doesn't understand the problem. Any suggestions? I'm pulling my hair out over this one.


List of champions by fastest move speed

I tend to find myself preferring champions with high mobility (Poppy, Evelynn, Singed etc) and I am interested in roaming. No point roaming with a slow champion. (I don't want a list of viable roamers, I roam with Poppy and she isn't recommended) The move speed has to take into consideration:   * Base move speed   * (Short cooldown) Self move speed buff skills (e.g.Poppy, Zilean's and Nunu's self buffs)   * (Short cooldown) skills that increase mobility (e.g. Rammus' powerball)   * Exclude move speed items, including boots, phantom dancers etc.

What to do with a broken Xbox 360?

I broke the DVD drive on my Xbox 360 while trying to JTAG it so that I could install XBMC or something similar on it.

Is there any other way to install XBMC or similar software to the Xbox 360 or any other ideas to achieve the same without streaming from PC? I'm not looking to play illegal games on it, ideas for that won't be necessary. The goal is to convert it into a media center.

Do shotguns with low accuracy spell failgun?

I just found a shotgun with 3.6 accuracy. (out of 100.0) Do shotguns treat accuracy differently than other weapons, or should I put this one on my shelf as the 'banger that never banged her... or ... anyone else for that matter...' I just realized that I have yet a different shotgun with an accuracy of 0.0, which means it should theoretically never hit anything, except for it does all the time. What gives?


Will my parachute fail if I'm going too fast when I deploy it?

I was going to put a whole back-story for this question here, but thought it'd be better as a Google+ post instead, for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who reads it. So, during high velocity returns, is there a chance that a parachute will fail if the capsule is travelling too fast when it's deployed? If so, what's the optimal speed/altitude range for deployment? If speed is not the cause of these failures, what is, and how can I mitigate it? I should also say that I'm using Mechanical Jeb. For reasons explained in this question, I now always bring the MechJeb unit back with me. In the case of the most recent failure, the MechJeb unit was positioned between the capsule and the parachute, something that had worked for me before. But for my rendezvous mission, I used one of the radial mount options, keeping the (proper sized) parachute connected to the top of the capsule.


Is it Better to Sell BPCs vs T2 BPCs?

Can I rob my own stores for challenge completion?

In the Saintsbook, there's a list of challenges to complete throughout the game. Pierce wants me to rob 15 stores for one of them. However, I'm wondering if this is a challenge I need to complete earlier in the game rather than later, before I have purchased most, if not all, stores in the game. To that end, I'm wondering if I can rob my own stores after I've bought them and have them count for the challenge, or if I have to rob the stores before I buy them?

How many dragon souls do I need to unlock all shouts?

There are 20 shouts in Skyrim, each with 3 levels of power. However, some of these shouts require dragon souls to unlock, and others are simply given to the player as gifts / quest rewards.

How do you quit during hero selection?

Yes, I know it gives me a 5-minute penalty before I can try to join another lobby, and that it's a horrible unsportsmanlike thing to do. But the only way I can figure out how to do it is to close the entire application and re-launch. Is there no better way to quit a lobby than this? (I'm trying to play with a friend and the chat system is down, so every 5 minutes we're joining at the same time in hopes that we get lucky...)

Is there a way to make Changeups or Curveballs faster (MLB 2K13)?

And are you able to spam them even if the last one hasn't run out of time yet or must you wait for the timer to run out?


How do I move Steam games to a new computer without re-downloading them?

I have just bought a new computer and I have everything migrated over except for my Steam games. I looked in `Program Files/Steam/` and I found a folder full of the games I have downloaded, but I do not know if it is safe to just copy these folders from one computer to another (seeing as a lot of other applications will not work if you do this), or is there another recommended way? I don't really feel like re-downloading all my games. I don't have the time nor bandwidth to download 20GB over a 1.5mbps connection. Is it possible to contact Valve and get a disk with the games on it?


Is it possible to transfer Steam games from one PC to another?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How do I move Steam games to a new computer without re-downloading them? Recently, I bought Portal 2 from Steam. I downloaded and installed it on my PC, which is running Windows. Unfortunately, days later, my PC crashed, and it was rendered useless. Thankfully, my technician helped me transfer everything in my hard drives to a back up drive. Yesterday, I got a new PC, which runs Windows too. Could I transfer the game files from the back up drive to my new PC without buying the game again? It's okay if my game progress is lost in the process, because I don't want to spend more money buying the game again.


Wii U error 103-2001 / 103-2101 when trying to set up wifi

Lizard Racing, How To Train My Lizard?

In Alik'r there is a quest to win a race using a lizard. With the option of 3 lizards, 1 free 2 for gold. Also with the option to buy a treat that is supposed to boost your lizard. I have tried the free lizard, free lizard plus treat. Bought one of the lizards and a treat for him. I have lost them all with the same result each time. I have tried racing during the day and night, since she says the sand might be to hot, same result. I am hesitant to try the 3rd lizard as I have already spent between 1-2k gold trying to do this quest. I can't seem to find anything anywhere about this dumb quest. Edit: Bought the third lizard and still lost, I have given up till I find a solid answer.

Do the footsteps outside in the modern Villa Auditore in Monteriggioni mean anything?

When I "Leave Animus" I am able to go outside and explore the modern day "Villa Auditore" as Desmond. There was an early mission to do some stuff out there, but otherwise I don't see much point and apparently if I stay outside too long something bad happens, though I don't know what - I've never waited.

They lead from the stairs near the fountain directly > to the spot where we have the animus set up. I've checked them out about a > half dozen times, but I can't find any significance.

When do a dungeon path counts as a daily path - In its beggining or end?

I think the best way to ask this question is with an example. We all know the server reset its dailies in midnight UTC, so, let's suppose it's the day of the lord **17 Jan 2012, 11:45 UTC** , I'm with a group and we start Ascalonian Catacombs Dungeon doing the Path 1. But we just finish it at **18 Jan 2012, 00:15 UTC**. The question is, for which day do this run counts? Does it count as a daily run for **17 january or 18 january**? In its beggining or end?


In crusader kings 2, what decides which titles I can revoke through plot?

When you press pick ambition sometimes you get an ambition to revoke a title. This is a great way to reorganize your empire, without having to get claims on the title or incurring tyranny. But I can't figure out what decides which titles can be revoked through amibition. Anyone got a clue? So far I've ruled out:   1. Having a claim on the title.    2. Ruler desiring title.   3. Title was granted by ruler.   4. Holder of title doing traitorous stuff.


What stats do I need to boost when wearing heavy armor?

I'm playing Dark Souls on Xbox 360 and I'm not too far into the game yet. I chose a warrior and I've leveled up a few times already (mostly strength).

Fire hydra vs. arcane hydra on single target

Arcane hydra does AoE damage, while basic, fire hydra, only does direct attacks. Tooltips have same basic damage. Do arcane hydras have drawbacks on single target (like slower fire) or they are plain better than fire in all aspects (not taking in account passive skill effects or some arcane/fire skills synergy)?


Is there a T1 or faction frigate that can solo a Dramiel?

Dramiels are annoying when you're flying around alone, ships that do enough damage and tank enough to kill them often don't have enough range control to prevent the Dramiel from escaping. Now, if I have a predictable enemy Dramiel pilot that flies a dual-prop Dramiel with complex MWD & AB, scram, 200mm Autocannons and a rocket launcher and T2 shield rigs and Warrior drones. It can put out around 130 dps with the autocannons and 50 from the 3 drones, it has roughly 8k EHP and can fly at least 1700 m/s on AB. Is there any navy faction or T1 frigate (not pirate) that could kill this Dramiel? My idea would be an armor-tanked, dual-web Hookbill with a tracking disruptor, keeping the Dramiel at the edge of scram-range. What are the weaknesses of the Dramiel that I could exploit, and which ships would be suited to that task?


Does achieving a higher combo in Hydrophobia means getting more points?

The questions sounds silly, but it begs to be asked. When I blow up a small explosive container, I get a red notification saying: 100 points. I blow up two that are close together with the same shot and get "200." I blow up four and get "400." Is that 100, 200, 400 per container, or total? Does combo actually let you get higher scores?

How do I toggle the windscreen wipers on and off?

So I was steadily racing along in my Lotus Elise, approaching a corner, when I was slightly distracted. Needless to say, this distraction ended with me going sideways across the gravel, and in a blind panic to halt my car before I was three miles off the track, I ended up button mashing to find the handbrake. While this was occurring, I must have pressed something else by accident, since the windscreen wipers turned on. When back on track I continued to button mash but could not find the button I pressed to turn them off again, nor could I turn them on in a future race. What button toggles the operation of the windscreen wipers?

As far as I read from the ROCCAT website, the only difference between the ROCCAT Kone[+] and the Roccat Kone XTD is the dpi (6000 vs 8000), yet there's a big price difference where I live ($63 versus $105). Is the Kone XTD just overpriced, or is there a significant difference I am missing?

How many times can a single character start a New Game Plus?

The first playthrough brings you from level 1 to 51. After you start NG+, the game starts over at level 51. How far does this playthrough bring you? Will you get all the way to level 100 on the second playthrough, or does it stop somewhere and make way for a third playthrough with the same character with even more difficult foes? How many repetitions of NG+ exist, and what are the appropriate level ranges for each?


How does one become a beekeeper?

Alright so I read the beekeeping 101 on the Wiki for Forestry and really didn't feel like it gave me a good grasp on the subject. If anything it caused more confusion for me. Where should I start in-game for beekeeping?


How can I find the largest fields?

Right now, the Resistance holds >66M mind units. Those must be from some fairly large fields in fairly densely populated areas. But how can I find them? The Intel map isn't particularly useful for that, because it's too slow when loading fields and doesn't indicate when it's finished.

My silver pickaxe got damaged. How is it possible?

I crafted my first silver pickaxe in Terraria 1.1. I did not examine its stats until some time later. The name color is grey with -14% damage. I have no problem mining with it but killing monsters especially cave bats (which I have been doing a lot) got weaker. Can anyone give an insight into why this happened? I am split between weapon degradation and crafting fluke.

Is Moxxi's Good Touch supposed to vibrate?

Whenever I freshly switch to Moxxi's Good Touch - e.g.: coming out of a menu with it already equipped, or switching back to it after having used another weapon - my controller starts to vibrate. It doesn't stop vibrating until I fire at least one shot. This is _extremely_ annoying, but it doesn't happen with any other gun. Is this some sort of bug, or is it a known intended feature of this particular gun? Is there any other workaround for it, aside from turning off controller vibration entirely or wasting a bullet every time the vibrations start?

Here you can see where it is on the map: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/XVkTal.jpg) The room: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/LsBXOl.jpg) It is clearly a metal song, but I do not recognize who it played. Does anyone who owns the game know which song it is? _Given the recent incidents I won't upload a video of it to Youtube._

What weapon, vehicle, or explosive does the most damage?

There are quite a few ways to damage things in Bad Company 2, but I'm wondering what does the most damage in the game? While I guess c4 can be piled up to cause a ton of damage at once, I'm only interested in damage per one attack or usage.
