How much damage should an end-game barbarian do?

I've been playing several characters in Diablo 3, but my first and furthest along is my barbarian. Recently, a friend (monk) and I have started making key-runs in order to craft the Hellfire Ring. Although I don't die as often as he does (barely) playing at elevated monster power, he does a **ton** more damage than I do. I'm doing around 27k damage. After some googling around, it appears that I could get more damage out of this fella, but I can't find anything that actually shows a good average damage for a 60+ barbarian, just lots of "look at my barbarian he did 6-bajillion DPS against Azmodan" type posts. Does anyone have any knowledge or resources for this?


Sales per minute on Tiny Tower is at 0.00

What strategies should the Protoss use against mass Medivac/Marine/Marauder?

I understand that prevention is better than cure but sometimes the game gets a little late and when I'm in this situation it's very hard to counter as Protoss. The picture below almost makes his ground troops invincible as if he typed _power overwhelming_. ![Screenshot of a massed group of Marines, Marauders, and Medivacs; one of the Medivacs is healing a Marine](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NFxo7.jpg) How do you usually counter this? Edit: Thanks to all of you, I am able to finally counter it using mass Zealot + Colossi :


How do I perfom Noob Saibot's finishing move in Mortal Kombat Trilogy?

I have the Mortal Kombat Trilogy for both PS1 and PC and I have problems doing the finishing moves. According to http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/games/umk3/noobsaibot/, Noob Saibot's second fatality is:               (Close) Hold Block, Down, Down, Up, Run      So I hold down 5 (block) and press (not hold) down, down, up and 2 (run). He only weirdly crouches/holds block and nothing happens. Is there a trick to do it or something? Because from what I've seen in videos, the character doesn't move at all while performing the special.


Is there a reason to not disenchant extra cards?

Crafting Mode in Hearthstone offers the option to _Mass Disenchant_ cards. The in game screen describes the option this way: > **Disenchant your extra cards to create Arcane Dust**   >  You can't have more than 2 copies of a card in your deck (or more than 1 > legendary), so you might as well disenchant the extras and turn them into > Arcane Dust! Is there a reason to hold onto these extra cards? Turning them to dust is permanent and I'm curious as to why the game is giving me the option if the only use for them is to turn them to dust.

Is the software on the disc identical for each of these?

Dishonored stopped working?

I have just bought Dishonored yesterday and it worked fine, but now sometimes when I open a door that goes to a different area a box pops up and says Dishonored has stopped working. The game then closes and when I start it up again it erases my last autosave. There is no place where it has happened every time but frequently it is when I've been detected and running from guards. The text of the error message says: > Dishonored stopped working   >  Search for a solution online   >  Close program   >  Debug program

How can I connect a field of pressure plates to a single output?

I have a large flat area covered in pressure plates (30x70) and I was wondering how I might wire them from beneath to detect if a mob or object has touched ANY of them. I guess I could cope with a few deadzones, but preferably the whole grid should fire an output. Is this even possible? Thanks, YM EDIT: Ideally the system should be expandable to even larger areas.


How many golden guns are in the game and what is their purpose?

I've played the first three chapters of the game, and until now I've just found one of the golden gun pieces. How many of these guns are in the game? Do they have any purpose or is it just an "achievement" to collect all of them?


Should I add + minimum damage stats for my followers

I've heard that some stats like intelligent, strength, and dexterity is multiplied by 2.5 in diablo 3. What about stats like minimum damage? I suppose, for all those followers, all I need is increase damage and increase main stats.


How do I practice Pyro rocket reflect with non-standard rocket launchers?

There are training maps out there that can be used to practice rocket reflect timing. However, training maps spawn soldier bots using the default loadout. The standard rocket launcher is probably the easiest to reflect, but I almost never deflect the Direct Hit and Liberty Launcher successfully because I am not used to the timing and have no way to practice except when I run across soldiers using them in a public server. Is there any way to practice single- player against those weapons with bots?


What are all the weapons in Nitrome Must Die?

In Nitrome's 100th game, Nitrome Must Die, there are a lot of weapons. In the first few levels you see your basic Machinegun, Pistol, Shotgun... but then you start to get cool referential weaponry. Like the _Chisel_ of the eponymous game, or the _Fireball_ from their Trap series. And you play further and find the arrow weapons each from Bow Contest and Twin Shot. Each day that I play the game, I end up running into a handful of new weapons. There are _a lot_ of weapons. Can someone produce a list of all of the weapons in the game? Would be excellent if it sourced the ones that are references, but that's not as necessary.


How can I make an Automatic egg harvester in Minecraft?

I have a breeding area filled with chickens. What I'd like to do is set up the area such that any eggs laid therein are automatically shuffled out of the pen to a place where it's easy to pick them up. My current thought is that because chickens float I could replace all the grass with water. Then any eggs would float to the bottom of the lake. However from there I'm a bit stuck, as I don't know how to collect them once they're at the bottom. I'm thinking a water current of some kind, but how do I accomplish that at the bottom of a lake? Any other ideas?

How do +Dodge skills and passives stack in Diablo 3?

I have a Monk with 25% dodge if I use nothing by my Dex score. If I add a passive that gives +15% dodge, the final dodge chance only increases to 36.2; with Mantra of Evasion active (which gives another +15% dodge) the final dodge change increases to 45.8%; if Mantra of Evasion is within three seconds of being cast, than it offers another +15% which gives a final dodge change of 53.9%. Obviously, these are not additive percentages but I am having trouble figuring out the formula involved. What is actually happening to my Dodge Change when I gain +15% Dodge? If it helps, my Monk is level 56 and currently in Hell.


Do detection percentages on simultaneous node hacks stack?

I only recently learned that you can hack nodes simultaneously and have yet to test this out properly. Before you are detected and the countdown begins, does hacking two or more nodes simultaneously stack their detection chances? E.g. If I hack two nodes that have a 45% detection chance at the same time:   * Does that bump it up to a near-certain 90%?    * Does it increase it by some other amount to make it more likely but not so difficult?   * Does it remain at the highest individual rating (45% here)? It would make pre-detection hacking necessarily slower and more careful if they do stack...

How to keep track of possessed games?

I never thought this day would come, but with all the great indie bundles, gog.com, Steam, Desura and whatnot I managed to amass too many games to actually remember whether I already bought a certain one on another site when I see a great offer / bundle... So yes, this is the real disadvantage of the digital age, no more boxes which you remember already having in your shelve (also, you'd probably throw some away every now and then). Steam has that nice property of showing you which games you already own on Steam so you can't accidentally buy the twice (except as gifts), but for some games I own another license. So, how to keep an overview? How to avoid wasting money for an apparently great offer which actually wouldn't buy something new? Is there a one-for-all game management program?

Should I build damage when I am the only tank/Front line?

Very recently I lost a game as Elise. The enemy Jax was fed, so I built tanky to counter that (Frozen Heart, Randuin's Omen, Spirit Visage for Malzahar). My only real damage item was pretty much my Sorcerer's Shoes. Jax was fed because my allied Poppy did not build properly and just kept dying to him despite my warnings and attempts to save his lane through ganks. I just want to know: Did I make a mistake building pure tank? Should I build damage in a circumstance like this in the future? How do you make the call to gamble and build offensive **when you up against a fed team** without a proper front line to soak up and block off their damage and dives?


Mobs named jeb_

I recently learned of the Disco Sheep Easter egg: > Naming a sheep jeb_ using a name tag or a renamed spawn egg will cause it to > appear to constantly fade through all colors. When shaved using shears, > however, the sheep will bear wool of the original color of the sheep and not > the color of the wool that the sheep appears to be. Does this only work on sheep? Say I do it on a tame wolf, will the collar go through different colors? If I make a sheep breed with a jeb_ sheep, will the resulting sheep use the original color or current color of jeb_?


Is the Skull Heart capable of having a male host?

The opening sequence goes something like this: "Every hundred years, the Skull Heart emerges to grant the wish of a pure-hearted girl. If, however, that girl's heart is impure, they will transform into the Skullgirl." All fine and dandy...except now there is a male fighter in the roster - Big Band. I haven't yet beaten the game as Big Band, but I've seen some playthroughs of the game on Youtube, and I know that most of the characters are offered a wish by the Skull Heart at the end...but I'm not sure about Big Band, since he's not exactly a 'girl'. Does the Skull Heart offer this opportunity to Big Band, and thus affect men just as it affects women?


Playing mouse era games with a touchscreen or pen

Hankering after a little Space Colony nostalgia, I thought I would have a go at playing Space Colony HD on my touchscreen Windows 8 convertible. Apart from scrolling around the map (pushing the mouse beyond the borders of the screen), the interface appears to be ideal for it (the basic operation is click to select then click elsewhere to interact with another game element). The trouble is I'm having the same problem I had trying to play it on another convertible with a pen interface. In both cases (touch, or pen) a single tap does nothing other than move the pointer. A double tap acts like a single tap, and the normal tap and hold for right click does nothing (on the pen you can tap while pressing the side button, but on the touchscreen there appears to be no way to get it to recognise a right-click, so once something is selected it stays selected). Is this a general problem with pen/touch in games which don't explicitly support it, or is the problem specific to Space Colony? Is there a way to get Space Colony (and possibly other games) to recognise single tap as a single left mouse button click, and a tap and hold as a right click? Are there any other options I should consider? Since the game is 4:3 and my display is 16:9 there is plenty of blank screen real-estate, so is there any way to have that touchscreen space populated with virtual buttons for left click, right click, and arrow keys etc?


Why won't the portal keys drop when destroying links?

I have seen this multiple times where I have destroyed a portal and its links yet keys do not drop at either the portal I destroyed nor the other portal it was linked to. What is funny is that it seems to only happen to the portals/links of these one or two specific players. Anyone know why this might happen?


Why did I lose?

Was I killed? Did my county get invaded by hostile forces? Did my Liege get sick of me converting everyone to Lollardism ( **HERESY!** ) and revoke my title? I was happily bumbling along as the Count of Pfalz when suddenly up popped the "Game Over" screen telling me I had lost my last county and that the game was over. Unfortunately, this window fills the whole screen and disables all the buttons so I can't see what happened. I'm not bitter, but I'd like to know which of my terrible decisions led to my ultimate downfall. Maybe there is a log file somewhere? Incidentally, I don't think I died, because I had an heir (unless there was some last minute plotting to nominate an out-of-dynasty heir). So I'm guessing my title was revoked, but for what reason? EDIT: I just re-read this question and, to be clear, I'm not inviting speculation as to what happened (interesting as that would be), but asking whether there is any kind of historical event log that I could read to find out what the last few events were in my province :)

If you delete your Nintendo Network ID, what happens to the Pokemon Transferred using Pokemon Bank and Pokemon Transfer?

I just need help about the Nintendo Network ID, my Pokemon Bank Trial has just expired and I can't transfer my Pokemon to Pokemon Y without Pokemon Bank and Transfer. That's fine, because I already finished transferring my Pokemon to Y from older games. However, I started thinking about deleting my Nintendo Network ID, and since Pokemon Bank is something you bought from the E-shop, I just thought maybe my Pokemon that were transferred may be deleted, or returned to the other game along with my Nintendo ID. Can someone tell me if it what will happen to the transferred Pokemon?


How to force my Samsung monitor and nVidia card to display in 3D?

I have a Samsung 27LSA950 monitor and apparently there is licencing issues between Samsung and nVidia with regards to 3D games. I have Geforce 570 2.5Gb GPU. There was previously a solution on how to workaround this on the nVidia forums, but has since been deleted by them to avoid legal problems related to their licensing issue. Can anyone provide this workaround, or another solution on how I can use the nVidia 3D software through my Samsung monitor? The only games I have managed to get it working on was Battlefield 3 and Skyrim, by reverting to older versions of the Driver. This was temporary though and not great quality. Any game with it's own inbulit 3D, such as Crysis 2 etc. Work fine. I think they may be running through the Tridef software in the monitor though. Not sure. But the usual functionality of nVidias 3D vision is now not working at all for any game. This has been going on for months, and at this stage, an answer would be amazing.

Elder Scrolls Online doesn't allow textures above "Medium"

I haven't been able to find any information on google about this, but I recently nabbed the beta for ESO, and decided to fiddle with the settings. For some reason the overall **Graphics** setting only allows me to select **Minimum** , **Low** and **Medium**. The same goes for the **Texture** tab, though there are individual things that let me choose **Ultra** (such as Water Reflections). I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if ESO does some checking and limits the settings you're allowed to select based on your hardware. Interestingly, pressing the **Reset to Defaults** sets everything to **High** , but I can't do that manually. My PC specs are about in line with the recommended settings.   * **OS** - Windows 7 32bit   * **CPU** - Intel Core 2 Quad - 2.4 ghz   * **GPU** - Radeon HD 6850   * **RAM** - 4GB Between the behavior of the Reset button and the fact that my specs are very close to the Recommended specs, I'd be surprised if this behavior is intentional, but I really have no clue. Is this a problem with my hardware, or should I be submitting a bug report?

My question is, what exactly does this gun do when you shoot it? How many bullets does it shoot at once and does it have any elemental effects or anything?

Is it possible to archive and transfer replays in Street Fighter 4?

I have SSF4AE for PC and I want to store my old replays, so I can watch them later or send them to a friend. Is this possible like in Starcraft 2?   * I want to record and save a replay.    * Then I want to copy and send the replay/file to a friend.    * He opens it and is able to watch it on his computer. I know there are online replay channels, but they seem very limited. A common technique seems to be to create a video and use that instead of replays. But they are very big and it does not scale well.

Is there a way to make Starcraft 2 use my other processor?


Special characters in chat

I have to write in Spanish and I have OSX version of Minecraft. I had a problem with some special characters when playing multiplayer. Everybody is writing these characters and I can see them clearly, but the key on my keyboard to insert this ticks over the vocals does nothing, so when I press the vocal key it's written normal. The characters I'm talking about are: `áéíóú`. I have no problem with `ñ`. I tried to put the game in Spanish, or turning `Forcing Unicode Font` to `ON`, but no luck. Anyone knows what to do to fix this?


Digital Miner - Ore Specification with OreDict

At great expense and effort, I've successfully built the Digital Miner from Mekanism. It's an excellent mining tool, but I'm having trouble with the config, specifically telling the miner which ores I want mined. I thought the best way to do this would be to put it in inverse mode and then "whitelist" the ores that I didn't want. For example, I'm not doing thaumcraft, so I don't want the miner to mine entropy infused stone. Equally I don't want cinnibar ore. However, I can't find the right "code-names" to type in the OreDict filter. By code-names I mean the block names as they appear in the code (e.g. oreRedstone for redstone ore). So far I have stone, cobblestone and sandstone, but typing in "sand" gives me a blank ore filter. Also, entropy infused stone is too many characters to fit in the filter. How can I tell the miner what I want mined?


Why can't I install TF2 in a non-default game library location?

I've set up 2 non-default game library locations. One in `C:\Games` and the other `D:\Games`. Steam is installed on `C:` so I have 2 libraries on `C` and one on `D`. When I go to install most games it lets me choose, but not Team Fortress 2. The dropdown to choose library isn't there.   I'd understand if I didn't have space, but I have easily enough space on C and D. Besides, it should at least offer the `C:\Games` location as that's the same hard disk as the steam install library, which it uses if I continue without being able to select any. There are a few other games I can't install to a non-default location such as Portal (orignal) all the HL2 games, L4D2. It looks like it's old source games that won't let me choose.

Counter Strike 1.6 - trouble with Intel Integrated GPU graphics

I have a laptop with Intel integrated GPU graphics, and I can't squeeze 100 fps out of this card in D3D mode, while the game hangs periodically when using OpenGL. The graphics are worse in D3D.

Would upgrading to a i5/i7 processor with Intel HD Graphics solve this issue? Do I really need a dedicated graphics card?

What's a good way to get started in Space Station 13?

After seeing some interesting questions about space station 13 here on Arqade I tried to give it a try. So far I:   * Spent half an hour trying to get out of the arrivals shuttle with no luck, then the station self destructed.    * On my second attempt got out of the shuttle, only to be shot by some form of robot as soon as I stepped out.   * Started a game as a security agent, got sedated, dragged into a dark tunnel and strangled to death.   * Started another game as security agent, saw a robot assault what looked like a crew member. Tried to shoot the robot with a stun gun (not successful), only to have the robot tell me I was being stupid and the crew member some form of changeling. (At this point I closed the game in panic)   * Started a game as a less ambitious janitor, mopping corridors until half an hour later the station self destructed.  Obviously, I don't seem to be qualified just yet to enjoy the exciting space station life. What's a good place for a beginner to start?

How do I add Mods to Minecraft SMP Server

I am currently Using the Bukkit Server and a couple mods/plugins such as LocalShops, Craftbook, Iconomy, and so on. However, Far more interesting mods (in my opinion) are out there, and I have NO CLUE how to implement them. For example... The Piston's Mod and The Planes Mod Everyone seems to have explanations for how to install these mods in SSP or Singleplayer, and I have been completely unsuccessful in attempting to figure it out myself. I understand Planes Mod currently does not support Bukkit. And I am willing to kill the Bukkit server and start a different one so long as similar mods to localshops and craftbook can be found for said new server. If anyone out there can help, that would be great! ~nibz


How can I skip strike force missions like FOB Spectre?

I finished "Old Wounds" and see that the next mission is "Time and Fate" but I'm forced into "FOB Spectre," a strike force mission. I'd like to finish my Veteran run without doing these strike force side-missions. Is there a way to bypass them and get back to the campaign?


Where can I obtain a Typhoon Fleet Issue

Where can you obtain this ship? I checked the Republic's LP store and I can only find a Tempest Republic Fleet issue. Are there different loyalty stores or is this ship discontinued?


Binding the CTRL key to Crouch instead of C

When in the key bindings menu of the fully-updated Borderlands 2 Mac (Steam), I click on Crouch which is by default bound to **C** , the box pops up waiting for me to press the new key to bind. On Mac (OS X Mavericks), pressing the **Left Ctrl** does nothing -- it continues waiting for a key press. On Windows, it works as expected. Has anyone found a way to work around this?


Crime in Solitude = huge bounty in Riften?

Here's the scenario: I was doing the 'Bound Until Death' quest for the Dark Brotherhood, and unlike my first playthrough, I actually got attacked by the guards, and got a bounty for killing the bride and the guards. I encountered another guard at the entrance of Solitude, and he demanded I pay my bounty of 1040 gold. Which I did. At this point, instead of going back to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, I fast travelled to Riften to complete a quest, but upon entering the town after my fast travel, I was confronted by a guard that demanded I pay my bounty (9040 gold this time). Mind you, I had committed no crimes to anyone's knowledge in Riften. There was no reason for the bounty that I know of, and can't tell why this happened. Currently I'm trying to decide if I want to just continue (I payed half my bounty, because I'm a thieve's guild member), or if I want to go back and try the Dark Brotherhood quest again to see if I can get a different result. Can anyone explain why this might have happened? I'm thinking glitch, but I'm not sure.


How do I punch faster?

I used to play Skyrim with Dual Flurry Mod, Dual Parrying Mod, and Fist Grandmaster Mod which allowed far better and practical unarmed combat. One problem that I encountered was the fast unarmed combat would only work if you played in third person. I think the Joy of Perspective Mod could fix this issue, however I did test it yet. I never played the Skyrim Requiem Mod, but it looks cool and hardcore, but it modifies all of the skill trees, which makes Fist Grand-master mod incompatible. Is there away to improve/speedup the unarmed combat in Skyrim Requiem mod or is not worth pursuing? Thanks.


Which weapons have splash damage in Torchlight 2?

As an Engineer I like using two-handed weapons because of the Heavy Lifting passive skill that gives bonus attack speed and stun chance. However, I'm not sure if the Greathammer I'm currently using causes splash damage, so I'm wondering if I should try another two-handed. Which weapon types in Torchlight 2 cause splash damage (in particular, two- handed weapons), and how large is the splash arc and splash damage dealt by each weapon type?


What should I be doing to reduce loading times?

I have been wondering if it's possible to reduce the time it takes to load game files on my PC, for example, in-between levels in Half Life 2. I have just installed an SSD, and it's already significantly faster than my other, mechanical drive, but is there any other steps I can take that will reduce it even further? For example, I have been thinking about enabling compression on the SSD filesystem. With a fast CPU on an IO-bound system, shouldn't this speed up read times as less data needs to be accessed? Is there anything else that would help?   * Other software tweaks in Windows   * Hardware settings in BIOS / firmware upgrade


Slain enemies rest in pieces in Diablo III

I've seen this affix on a couple of legendaries and I don't understand what the affix does. I mean, on Fire Walkers, there's trail of fire which actually does a little damage (I've seen this for myself). But what does "Slain enemies rest in pieces do?" I saw this answer for Diablo II. But as far as I know, there's no resurrection of dead monsters or anything like that (I play only a DH, so I don't really know about WDs).

What servers are there and how do I setup this? Q2. Where can I meet other people online who also play Yuri's Revenge with White Boy's Rules mod?

New Vegas X-8 Center Wrong Testing Facility (Old World Blues)

This is part of the quests "X-8: High School Horror" and the "Sonic Emitter Upgrade" retrieval quest. In order to successfully finish both of them, I need to re-enter the institutional test at several times. However, after doing the instituational test once, I accidentally started the residential test. Now, it seems like I can't switch back to the institutional test anymore. The residential test also doesn't seem to contain the item, I'm looking for. As a result the quest seems to be locked since I can't finish either of the two tests. Is there a way to reset the terminal which controls the tests? Maybe a console command? Has anyone ever had this problem?


I'm getting "iw3mp.exe has stopped working" on Multiplayer in Windows 7

So recently I decided I wanted to play COD4 again, so I downloaded and installed from Steam. The single player runs fine, but the multiplayer errors out everytime: "iw3mp.exe has stopped working". I've seen a few fixes for Vista around the net. Please do not respond with the "Stereo Mixer" fix, because there is no such thing in Windows 7. What do I need to do to fix this error so I can play COD4 multiplayer again?


reduce the size of the army of particles in liquid war

In Liquid War each player has an army of particles. It would be cool to get the clue of the mechanisms, if you could reduce the number of particles and slow down the game to a speed, where you could watch each particle to battle. Is this possible?


Heroes of Might & Magic 3 adventure map object reference

I remember seeing quite a while ago an "official-looking" PDF file containing a complete reference of HoMM III, including, most importantly, information on Adventure Map objects (such as probabilities of getting a certain reward when attacking an Imp Cache, and the number of guards). While I have found two sites on the Internet that feature that information, I've been unable to obtain the original file, nor to learn about its nature. I also couldn't find it in my HoMM3 Complete distribution. The question: where can I find this file? Thank you.

What happens if you side with Zelazny?

I decided to approve of Zelazny and tell the truth to the doctor. I got the praxis but I'm wondering if there are side effects to this choice in the game. Any ideas?


Which ships can capture cities?

I was surprised when after ordering my Privateer to attack a weakened city, he conquered it for me! I was not aware that ships can capture cities in Civ 5. This makes me wonder: what ships are capable of capturing cities?


Captured a city, but it's completely non-functioning

I've just captured my first city, and it's uh... not working. The borders don't extend beyond the single tile where the city is, and I can't build anything. What do I do? In Civ 3, you'd sometimes get a message after capturing a city informing you of a resistance, which you could quell by garrisonning military units there. Is that what's going on? I didn't get any message informing me of it.


Where do I get new stuff for my evil lair?

I've been playing for a while now without unlocking any new items for my secret lair (mainly looking to build a trap corridor, but really lacking in traps). Are item/room/trap unlocks based on notoriety, loot, acts of infamy, or some combination?


Make TF2 connect to a particular server when launched from command line

I need some help with starting TF2 using the command prompt and having it connect to a server. Something like the external protocol request when you click "Join Game" on the Steam community website. I know how to start TF2 from the command prompt, but how do I have it connect to a server?


How does mission progress work in multiplayer?

In the first Borderlands, I got quite frustrated with the confusing affects multiplayer had on my character in singleplayer. Many times, someone in my party got a message saying they were ineligible for a quest and that they would not get credit for it. Eventually, we all decided to make characters that we would all play only with each other and never play in single player. This was quite an unideal solution. Has Borderlands 2 solved any of these problems? What happens if I connect to a game with someone ahead of me in the story? What happens if I connect to a game with someone behind me? And what if I host in each of those situations? Is mission progress saved? Does everyone get XP and rewards?


Will my Borderlands 2 campaign be ruined if I play matchmaking?

In Borderlands 1 I needed help on a boss, so I tried to find some people to help me in matchmaking. When I found the game I needed, I connected but they were playing something else so I exited. But when I got to my single player campaign, **my story skipped through half the game!** I'm so afraid that if I do matchmaking in Borderlands 2, my single-player will be ruined! Can you help me?


What proc values do the witch doctors skills have?

What are the proc values (effect probability, e.g. for crowd control damage) for the different skills of the witch doctor? Some are given in the Patch 1.0.4 notes:   * Firebomb - Fire Pit: 0.067   * Gargantuan: 0   * Spirit Barrage - Manitou: 0.125   * Zombie Dogs      * Rabid Dogs: 0.1     * Burning Dogs: 0.05 For theory crafting, I'd love a full list. If you answer, please link your sources if available!


In Bayonetta, how can you kill Umbran crows?

So I'm staring at an Umbran crow right now, but I can't hit it. This is in chapter IV in a rainy square, while protecting Cervesa. Run at it, jump at it, shoot at it, I don't target the crow and can't hit it. What's the easiest technique to killing them?

Are all Inconsequentia quests solvable?

Is it 100% possible to complete every quest received from Statue of Inconsequentia? I just played the game for few days so far and I am now in level 4, but already had around 2-3 quests that I found impossible to complete. My problem is mostly connected with quests that require finding specific items & using them on pillar of eyes (can't find item) or eliminating members of Dredmor's cohort (where are the mobs, how to tell if they are cohort mobs?). I tried to explore whole level carefully, killing every monster encountered, in vain. There is no location marked on the minimap (as it is in most cases when some boss must be brought down or specific item recovered). Thanks in advance!


How much SP is required to increase Dragoon levels?

I don't think there is any way to track your progress towards the next Dragoon level, but it would be nice to have a general idea of what to expect. What are the total amounts of SP required for each Dragoon level?


What is the most common method to find a group for a Flashpoint?

So I just got my first empire Flashpoint, a 2 player job. Since it starts from the fleet, I don't really want to just ask in fleet general chat if anyone wants to do the quest with me. Is there a better way to find groups for Flashpoints? Such as a built in system that I am missing?


Counter mass Thor + SCVs as Zerg

Recently I've notice that Terrans do less bioball/tank against Zerg and go for a thor heavy play. The first problem with the mass thor push is that it's really difficult to distinguish from a standard mech play (hellions, tanks, thors) when you scout the Terran base (you just see "a lot" of factories with Techlabs on them). The second problem is that this push often occurs before the Zerg player techs up to broodlords, which could be a pretty good counter to this. What can Zerg do about it ?


Can I cancel a mission

I have entered the level _Peoria_ thinking it's a regular mission, until I met two laser turrets and spent almost all my regular ammo to destroy them. Usually I gather plenty of ammo from dead enemies, but this level is different, the enemies are mostly animals and have no loot at all. Now I don't see any way to complete the mission. When I return to the starting point, I cannot leave the map since there is no green exit area.


How to check if there are more mobs in one area than the other?

So, let's say I have an area (defined by x, z) **from 0, 0 to 5, 5** and another area **from 7, 0 to 12, 5**. I now want to check if there are more chicken, sheeps, ect. in area 1 than on area 2 and tell this this the player. Is there a way to achieve that? (If this isn't possible it would be also okay to just print out the count of area 1 and area 2.)

Will the world raid bosses be available on release, or will they be delayed like the normal raids?


Cannot Get a new Radiant Quest from Companions in Skyrim

I have completed the Companions questline and am trying to remove my lycanthropy. I have been trying to get a Radiant Quest from either Farkas or Vilkas, but all members of the faction say that I have an active quest with Vilkas, although there are no Companions quest in my list. I am 100% positive of that. How can I get past this to the purify quests or is there another way to cure the disease?


Is a diamond sword with Unbreaking III, Sharpness IV, Knockback II, and Fire Aspect II possible?

I was recently playing on Mineverse, a Minecraft server. I was playing prison, and I was enchanting a diamond sword. I put on 30 levels of XP, and guess what came out... _Unbreaking III, Sharpness IV, Knockback II, and Fire Aspect II, together._ Is this possible in vanilla? I've been reading up on enchantment mechanics, and it seems to be impossible (4 enchantments in one try). The levels are also maxed out, making me think that this may have been something special on the server. However, most of my previous enchantments seemed normal.


How did I get the "What does it mean?" achievement?

Final Fantasy 7: Have I lost Yuffie?

Just after leaving the Golden Saucer (and finishing the battle in the jail with Barret) I went over the river heading towards Cosmo Canyon and found Yuffie in a forest while riding in my buggy. After playing in the forest and going through the special encounter with her a few times (happened every 3 encounters) I got her to the point where I asked her to come with me. I choose the wrong option by trying to name her instead of saying "let's go", then she disappeared and said she'd never join me. Since then I've tried to get the encounter again in the forest while in my buggy but after more than 30 tries she hasn't shown up. Have I lost Yuffie forever? Is there another place I need to find her now?

Should I be worried if Steam forgot I installed a game?

I've bought quite a few Steam-redeemable bundles lately, so I've been installing a heap of games on Steam. I suddenly noticed that on my Steam library "The Binding of Isaac" was marked as uninstalled, which I knew for a fact to be wrong. After taking care to preserve my save files, I went ahead and told Steam to install the game, which apparently jogged its memory (but only after "preparing" the game's files for installation). So while there appears to be no harm done, I've never had this happen before, and so I wonder if this is some sort of ominous sign.


Can I rename my player or world?

Do choices matter in Beyond: Two Souls?

I am trying to determine if the choices you make have bearable effect on the story or if the game follows one narrative in a linear way despite of what the player decides. Do choices only effect the episodes by themselves or are they reflected throughout the game? How close is it to Heavy Rain in terms of different possible endings? I also have heard that the game features illusion of choices, e.g. > with not being able to kill the father even though the option is offered. Is this often the case or merely the exception?


How do houses / apartments / condos work in GTA Online?

Is it possible to auto-target in MW2 multi-player?

In single player campaigns, you get an auto-target assist thingy when you press L1 on the PS Controller. Is there also something like that in multiplayer ? I am a bit of a noob, and am getting royally pwnd by so many other faster players who can target me accurately. I have tried to customise the sensitivity of the controller, but just can't easily zero in on targets quickly. I know that latency (ie Ping) is not an issue. Any player advice on this ?


Why do almost all pro/high ELO Fizz players max E first and W last?

When I play Fizz, I usually max q and w first to maximize my damage output, and use E as an escape tool. If I max E first as a damage output tool, I usually feel insecure during the fight as my E is in CD, and if I still use E to escape it is kind of a waste of damage since it's maxed first, and I will get less damage from w,q burst. Do I play Fizz wrong? Can someone enlighten me about the reason behind maxing E, and how to use it properly during the fight?


Is there anything I can do to attract spiders in Minecraft?

I really need to kill some spiders so I can make a bow and fishing rod, but there are no spiders to be seen in my vicinity. Is there a technique I can use to either attract them to a known location or discover where they are? I'm playing on easy/normal so the mobs do spawn - I've seen creepers and zombies but no spiders.


Is there any point in using both rifle and pistol?

I'm currenlty playing a sneaky sniper. I'm level 27 and have been experimenting around what kind of weapon loadout I should use. Currently my "main" weapon is a sniper rifle (of some sort) for long distance and a rifle for medium to close encounters. For RP-value I've also used pistols, primarily when fighting indoors. So basically, I have three types of weapons: sniper, assault rifle and a pistol. RP aside, it just seems rather redundant to have a pistol even for very close battles when my current rifle (All American) seems doing the job just fine for those moments when a sniper rifle isn't really viable. So basically: Is there really any point in having both a pistol and a rifle for closer fighting?

How do I win "Twilight of the Gods" final mission in Warcraft 3?

I've difficulties surviving in the last campaign mission in Warcraft 3 on the highest difficulty settings. After capturing the mines and building as much of an army as possible, I get decimated by the incoming forces faster than I can rebuild. I usually end up as sole survivor (Hu/Orc base destroyed) after 10 minutes. I tried various stuff, including building wells near the place of battle and walls of ancient protectors, but to no avail. I'm wondering if it is actually that hard, or if I just do something wrong. I was about level 30 on the solo ladder so I think my micro and macro is not utterly crappy in general.


Is there any way to cause lava source blocks to replicate in Minecraft?

You can create an infinite well using two buckets of water and a hole that is one block deep and two blocks by two blocks wide. I'm wondering if it's possible to do a similar thing with lava, now that obsidian is so valuable for making portals. I have an idea for making it easier for creating portals, but it's dependent on having an effectively infinite source of lava very close to where I want to create the portal. So is this possible? If so, how?

How to mute the motion tracker sound?

The sound the motion tracker plays when there are no targets in range, which sounds like a record skipping, is giving me a headache. How can I mute this sound, and this sound only?


Is random loot related to damage done/killing blow?

I am struggling with finding good items. I am wondering if it is because I play the game all wrong. I have around 400k damage and play at Torment I/II/III. At level II & III I do very little damage to the enemies and I tend to just follow my more powerful friends around, like a leech feeding on their kills. Does this strategy mean that I get less good items? Are items based on how much damage I do towards an enemy, or if I am the player killing it, or does D3 treat it equally?


How do I get Power Armor training in Fallout New Vegas?

I've found some power armor, but I can't use it yet without training. I assumed that the Brotherhood of Steel would train me, if they like me enough. I've completed the Brotherhood of Steel quest series for the overseer (the original one, I did not overthrow him), but I did not get any Power Armor training. What do I have to do to be able to wear Power Armor?

How to use TSL maps for Civ 5 (making True Start Locations work)?

How does life on hit work?

I have a witch doctor with +10 life on hit and no other means of restoring life. I had _thought_ that this was self-explanatory, but I am not getting +10 life per hit -- I'm getting +20! So if the flat numbers can't be trusted, what's going on? How does +Life on Hit work with abilities? I already know that life steal scales based on difficulty from this answer, but since I'm on Normal difficulty, it can't explain the difference in numbers. What's going on?

Fingerprints do not match record?

I'm playing Papers Please. I see a citizen whose height doesn't match, so I fingerprint him. The name on the fingerprint slip ends up matching the name on the ID card, so I let him through. However, I get a citation anyway - invalid height, and fingerprints records do not match. Is this a bug or am I missing something obvious? UPDATE: Ok, it seems that if I have a document from the person with a fingerprint on it, then I can match that with the fingerprint I just got, and this is consistent. If the fingerprints match, I approve, if not, I reject, and it's ok. However, if the person didn't give me their fingerprints, then it seems like a crapshoot. Even if the names match, sometimes I reject and it's ok, other times I reject and it says I should've let them in.

How do I get SCUBA gear?

I am looking for a way to equip Scuba gear outside of a mission. I know that you are automatically equipped with scuba gear when you exit the Submersible while in water.   1. Can anyone other than the owner of the Sonar Collections Dock enter the Submersible? If not, is there another one around?   2. Barring that, is there another way to get scuba gear?


How does the new trait system work?

So the new April feature pack is live and has made some changes to the trait system as well as introducing new traits. I logged into my lv31 Thief who has 20 trait points to find that all my traits had been reset and I had 1 available trait point. How have the changes to the trait system led to my losing 15 trait points?


Alliance Timer Help Not Clearing

I have an issue where my Alliance is helping me speed up the building timer but it seems to then stay on 12/12 and not complete the building process until the timer has actually run its course. I have just recently changed alliances. Not sure if that has something to do with it or if it is a program bug.


Convert save game to a different platform

Since it's not possible to play multi with a player on another platform, is it possible to **convert a savegame** from one platform (PC, XBox, PS3) to another platform? By doing so, this might allow to switch from one platform to another to enable playing with a friend (supposing you have two retail copy on the same platform).

Can I use a US PlayStation Network card if I live in a different country?

I'm trying to buy some DLC for my games, but since I'm living outside the USA I can't use my credit card to add funds to my PSN wallet. My country was not listed when I created a PlayStation Network account, so now my only hope is a **PlayStation Network Card**. I have created a separate US PSN account for purchases; can I use a US-based **PlayStation Network Card** to add funds to my PSN wallet? Has anyone tried this before? **UPDATE** I tried is and it's working. Bought a digital PSN card from http://www.maximuscards.com/ they are really fast. Thanks

How to stop Ken crossing you up as Blanka?

When you're playing Blanka, and Ken knocks you down, how do you stop him from chaining cross ups when you dont have any EX for a vertical EX ball? When I've got no EX it just seems like he can keep jumping over me and throwing quick punches until I make a mistake or he catches me with a throw. What are my alternatives? I should also mention that the ken player jumps in and uses light kick which beats electricity, and leads into a big damage combo for him.

How do I start a combo?

Playing through the first episodes of "Remember Me", I've unlocked two combos - a 3-hit one, and a 5-hit one. Trouble is, I'm not sure how to actually _trigger_ them. Left Mouse Button seems to punch, and Right Mouse Button seems to kick, but beyond that, the only way I've managed to initiate combos is by button-mashing (or mouse- mashing, in my case). What is the _actual_ way to trigger combos? And Corollary: "What determines which combo I'm using?"

Does the Xbox 360 upscale classic Xbox games?

When you run a classic XBox game on a 360, does the 360 automatically take advantage of its GPU to run the game at a higher resolution than the original, if you're on an HDTV? In other words, if I play Morrowind on my 360, will it look any sharper (and specifically, will objects be any easier to see) than if I did so on my classic XBox?

Mouse sensitivity in games

I have been gaming on my system lately. I have never encountered this problem before and all the google research never worked. Here are the specs of my machine : * * * CPU/APU : AMD A8-6600K Black Edition @ 3.9 GHz   RAM : 4GB DDR3 @ 1333 MHz   GPU : Galaxy Nvidia GeForce GT620 w/ 2GB DDR3 RAM for video   HDD : 1 TB WD Caviar Blue   PSU : Corsair CX430 430W * * * I have tried many different games, online , browser , fps , tps , etc. The mouse works fine but then when I move my character and then move my mouse, the slightest of movements cause the game to freak out. How do I fix this ? EDIT : The mouse is not the problem. I changed mice and tried my mouse no another computer, so the mouse is not the problem


What is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit launchers of Transistor?

I see there are two types of launchers for Transistor: 32 and 64 bit. Is there any difference between them? Most games are 32 bit and you don't have to ask yourself whether it will launch on your low-end notebook or a cheap computer that only supports 32-bit OS, and as a result is not capable of running 64-bit games, even if you decide to install a 64-bit OS (which you can't because of hardware restrictions). The most important limitation of 32-bit applications is the memory they can use (about 4GB max). Does Transistor even use that much memory? Does using 64-bit launcher allow to allocate more resources in memory for faster loading times? Let's say we're only talking about 64-bit OS systems. Will 64-bit launcher bring a different experience from 32-bit one?

Press F to place monument

I am playing the 'Normandy Crash Site' DLC for Mass Effect 2, and have been tasked with placing a monument in memory of the members of the Normandy SR-1 that died in the crash. In various locations which are scattered around the map (like the remainder of the original CIC or the helm of the ship), a prompt appears on screen stating "Press F to place monument", but regardless of how much I mash the F key while changing my positioning in these areas nothing seems to happen. What am I missing? How do I place the monument to the Normandy SR-1?


Losing my primary title

I've finally managed to carve out a decent kingdom in CK2, including Wales, Ireland, Brittany, Galacia and some bits of Scotland. I have two King titles- the Kingdom of Wales (primary) and the Kingdom of Ireland. Brittany and Galacia aren't actually kingdoms because of the risk of losing the titles through elective succession. Unfortunately, England managed to get a claim on Wales and are now invading. I'm probably going to lose the war. What will I lose when I lose the kingdom of Wales? Will my vassals in Brittany and Scotland swear fealty to England? What about my Irish vassals?


Dragons stuck in Breeding Cave in Dragonvale?

My kids are playing Dragonvale on their iPod touches, and they have dragons stuck in their breeding cave and they won't come out:   * They've got the most recent update from the app store   * They've waited for over 4 days, and there's no indicator of the breeding completing. We've tried the following with no luck:   * Reinstalled the app   * Logged in and out of game center   * Tried it on another iPod touch Any suggestions on how to fix this? They have 2 breeding caves, if it matters, and both are stuck.

Changing a PSN account on PS3

I just bought a used Playstation 3. I am going to change the PSN account (create a new one) but I have a few questions before doing so.   1. My brother already started playing a game and he does not want to lose his save file. Can it be preserved? If so how?    2. If the original owner had bought some DLC from his account and I do not delete the account (keep both accounts on the machine) can I use that dlc? I mean can I install it from his account and use them from my account?   3. Also the original account was a US PSN account, I am going to create a UK PSN account. Does any of the answers change given that fact?


Have drop tables been created for non-void levels?

I've been grinding Illad on Phobos for Miter parts for a while now, and I am only missing the Blueprint now. However, I have had everything else for a while, and despite doing 4-5 more runs beyond that, I still have yet to find the BP. I looked around for a drop table for Lt Lech Kril (he drops the parts, not Vor), but all I can find is that he can drop all of the parts, and nowhere else has them. I would like to find a drop table (that lists what items he can drop, and what their chance of dropping is) so that I can estimate approximately how much longer I have to put up with those d###ed eviscerators -_-. Is there a website that already has one, or is there a way **_I_** can create on without doing thousands of runs myself?

How do I find the bundled game that came with my 3DS XL?

I recently bought a Nintendo 3DS XL Luigi edition, and the store page says it includes The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. However, there is no game cartridge included and the SD card that came along with the device hold no data except for some basics for the system. I've checked the included manuals and there are no codes there. Am I completely missing something here or has the webstore forgot to ship something?


Does Chaos Storm silence 0.5 seconds constantly?

As Viktor, if any champion is below the cloud, will it be constantly silenced until the target gets out of the cloud, or it will silence just 0.5 seconds? I ask this because the duration IMO is really low and therefore almost useless if it's a one-time silence...

Easiest way to screenshot an XBox 360, Playstation 3, or Wii Game?

What's the easiest way to take a screenshot of an XBox 360 or other console game? Do I really have to buy a video card with HDMI/HDTV support, plug the XBox into that, and do the screen cap on the computer? What about a way to do this within the XBox itself, or by using a 3rd-party piece of "capture" hardware? How is this typically done?


How is Precision used to calculate critical chance?

I am very confused by the Precision attribute. On the Guild Wars 2 wiki it says: > Precision is an offensive character attribute. Attribute points put into > precision increase the chance of a critical hit for the character. Many of > the conditional effects of a skill or trait trigger on a critical hit. What confuses me is, how critical strike is calculated from precision. I had previously had 47% chance to critically strike (when I was about lvl 40). I am now lvl 60 and when I looked it says I only have 40% critical chance. I know for a fact that I have way more points of precision now than when I had 47% critical chance. The only reason for this that I can think of is that the equation to calculate critical chance from precision takes level in account. But I would appreciate if someone give a definitive answer on how critical strike is calculated.


How to make books stand upright?

In Skyrim books can be placed on shelves by simply adding them as one would to a chest. They then arrange themselves on the shelf and are supposed to stand upright, nicely arranged.

Can I install only 1 of Origin games to another drive?

I'm getting a bit tired or waiting for ages for my PC to start up, so I'm planning on purchasing an SSD to boot my windows with it. Then I thought that it might be nice to have BF3 installed on it too. Unfortunately I can't find any info on how to install _only one_ of Origin games to a different location. So the question is: Is it possible to install only BF3(for example) on an SSD and all other games to the normal HDD? And if not, will there be a _big_ difference in starting time of BF3 if I start it from an SSD or a HDD? Thanks, Any information would be appreciated


Are there any "hidden" abilities for classes other then the paladin?

Now that wasn't mentioned in the upgrade description for this class, nor did i see it mentioned anywhere else in the game. Do any other classes have this kind of "hidden" abilities?


How to get onto a duct in Batman Arkham Asylum from the flooded corridor

![Image of the duct I'm trying to get onto](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hgSbn.jpg) I'm in the flooded corridor, and I've no idea how to get onto that duct. I'm playing it on PC. **EDIT** To get a better picture at where I am, please follow this link. That page contains the following paragraph: > The Abandoned Chamber can be confused, so follow these directions: From the > entrance, head left, jump the gap, then proceed down the staircase (into the > central structure), then up another set. Jump the gap and proceed through > the door. Climb the ledges within, then **grapple into the vent overhead**. I'm in the exact position (in the picture above) where I'm supposed to "grapple into the vent overhead." But that vent can't be grappled! And it is too high to be climbed. That's why I'm stuck.


Do emerald berries that lower EVs also lower stats if your pokemon eats enough?

Do the berries that lower 10 EVs each also lower your stat points? For example, let's say a lv 90 Gyarados eats 11 Kelpsy berries to lower its attack EVs. Will its attack actually lower down(assuming it had some EVs on attack) iF it doesn't, is it possible to keep "resetting" your pokemon's EV's then retraining them back again?

Worker automation, can't fine tune as much as in Civ4?

In Civ4 I would improve the key points around a city to be how I wanted them and then normally stick a worker in to the mode that would **improve just that city** , with **workers do not remove forests** and **workers do not touch old improvements** both enabled in the global options. I'd occasionally just stick a worker on to improve city around one I've captured that I've captured and am not interested in micromanaging. All three of these options seem to be missing from Civ 5. I _don't_ want to automate my workers to work globally, as I _hate_ them touching the stuff I've actually taken the time to configure myself, they remove too many forests for my liking, and I don't like them walking about the map all over the place (for safety and because I like my workers spread across the nation, not all bunched up irrigating one city). So, are these options available anywhere in Civ 5?   If not, can I emulate them at all? ## Update On 22nd Oct 2010 the game was patched to version `1.0.0.62`, which has added a option to the ingame menus so force workers to not change manually created improvements. I believe that they will still overwrite improvements previously created by automated workers.


How can I install Interface Addons when running WoW in Wine?

So i didnt know if i should ask this question in AskUbuntu or here, but since I've seen some good answers on Wine gaming here, i figured this would be a good place. I just recently started using Ubuntu, and for a while i used Dual Boot to play World of Warcraft. But it runs mostly fine under Linux using Wine, but i'm a little bit confused, where on my File System the "Windows Filesystem" from Wine, where WoW is saved at, is located. I want to use some Interface Addons, because i became quiet used to them but I dont know where to put them.


Moving in even though my town is full?

What are the pros and cons of siding with either the Nords or the Rieklings in their related Thirsk Mead Hall quests?

In the quest, Retaking Thirsk, you need to help a group of Nords kill all the Rieklings in the Thirsk Mead Hall. While in the quest, The Chief of Thirsk Hall, you need to help the Rieklings in the Thirsk Mead Hall kill all of the aforementioned Nords. This means that I will have to choose a side. **What are the advantages and disadvantages of siding with either the Nords or the Rieklings in these quests?** The UESP wiki states that (from the Retaking Thirsk article): > This quest has no rewards except making a blacksmith and a Heavy Armor > trainer available[verification needed— see talk page], while the other > allows you to recruit Riekling followers. It has been marked as 'verification needed', so I am asking here to verify if that is correct, and if there are other advantages and disadvantages not yet mentioned.


Different density for each type of seed/plant?

In farming simulator 2013 you are able to plant different kind of seeds like rapeseed, wheat or barley. So I'm wondering if all seeds/plants have the same density? Let's imagine I have a field which gives me 5t of rapeseed when I harvest everything on it. Will this field give me exact the same amount of wheat or has wheat a different density or whatever you call it, so that I will get more/less from the same field? I'm asking this, because I don't see any reason for planting something else besides rapeseed in the early game, because the price per ton is nearly twice as much as every other plant.


Demonology Warlock PvP strategy

I am currently playing a demonology spec'd Warlock on a PvP server. As someone with little experience in PvP, I do understand that each situation is different and everyone has a unique play style. What I find difficult are encounters where I get attacked first, particularly while questing, even if the MOBs I'm fighting during a quest are trivial kills. Anytime someone gets the first shot off, it's near impossible to counter. By the time I figure out I'm getting attacked, I'm already at 25% life (let's assume the attacker is of equal caliber in both level and equipment inventory). What are some suggestions for both defensive and offensive PvP play for a Demonology Warlock? I'm using the Demonology spec for leveling and as soon as I hit 85, I plan to dual spec in Affliction (unless someone highly suggests otherwise for PvP play). Looking for any and all tips/strategy. Content on the Internet seems so varied and StackExchange is always a great source for quality responses.

How to remove/disable specific sounds from the .FSB files?

I know is not a wise idea to play LoL in windows XP, but its all I have and after shutting down some processes and lowering graphics I got a steady 15-30 fps (which is fine for me). However, I noticed some sounds freeze my game for 0.3 seconds the first time they are played (e.g Sona spells), and late-game, when many explosions and things are going on, I simply can't play with the sound enabled. This problem is gone when I disable **all** sounds, but I really need to hear pings and turrets attacking me. I need to know how to mess around with `.FSB` files, also I am open to alternative solutions to my problem, maybe there is a line I can add to `game.cfg` or something. **edit:** I just downloaded a program _fsbext_ and I managed to extract sound effects, my theories were right, Sona stuff is the heaviest (e.g `sona_hymnofvalor_melody_5` is 370KB), I will now find a way to create a .FSB from these sounds but overwriting the heavy ones with `Ahri.ultimateeffort2` which is only 4KB

Dead Island Riptide character keeps glitching into ground?

Whenever I play Dead Island Riptide the Chapter 1 mission tells me that I have to go and defend the camp.

In Diablo 3 there seem to be a lot more gem quality levels than in Diablo 2. How many quality levels are there? Can all of the quality levels be found and if so is there a breakdown on how difficulty level affects it? If they can't then how many lesser gems does it take to create the upper tier ones?


How do followers' attributes increase from item bonuses?

I've noticed something interesting with the stats of followers. If I give my Templar this amulet, his stats increase unexpectedly: ![+25 Vitality](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OfJlv.jpg) He goes from his original 55 Vitality: ![55 Vitality](http://i.stack.imgur.com/WWurF.jpg) All the way up to 118 Vitality: ![118 Vitality](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GBh6r.jpg) Somehow, what is supposed to be a +25 Vitality amulet is increasing his Vitality by +63. This _hugely_ increases his maximum life, so I'm not really complaining, but - is there any explanation for this? I've noticed it happens for other stats (tested for Strength as well).

BO2 EOTech Zombie Stopper

In BO2, for the EOTech reticule, there is an **unlock-able** called the **EOTech Zombie Stopper**. The requirements for this unlock are > Get 10 Bloodthirsty medals while aiming down the sights with the EOTech > Sight. Now, the **Bloodthirsty** medal is > Get 5 kills without dying. So do I need to simply get 5(x10) kills with at least one kill while aiming down the sights, do I need all 5 kills to be while aiming down the sights or do I need to get 5 kills, hip-firing not even once?

What is the "A" button on the PC?

I'm trying to finish the deckers.die mission on the PC. When I get to the boss fight, it tells me to mash the "A" button. I hit the "A" key, and that doesn't work. The few times it tells me to hit "Space" that does work. So, I know my timing is good. I looked through the Control bindings, and I don't see it. I do see in the gamepad section, that the default "A" button action is to jump, which is the same as "Space" on the PC. Is that what I should be hitting? So, my question is, What is the "A" button on the PC? ----- edit When I hit Esc to get to the menu, one of the choices is highlighted with a green "A" beside it, like in the fight. ~~Hitting "Space" does nothing. So, that's not it.~~ ----- 2nd edit As my answer below says, "Space" did work during the actual in-game fight


What do housing upgrades accomplish?

I know there are questions about how to upgrade your housing efficiently(see: How can you make more money and upgrade flats), but I'm more curious as to why someone would bother.

Can I change the default movement speed when ordering a unit to move in a battle?

Whenever I'm in a tactical (land) battle and I order a unit to reposition itself somewhere the men eagerly start running there. As I usually don't want to tire the men at the start of a battle, I then have to manually click the movement speed button to have them walk to the new position instead? Is there anyway to set the default movement speed for a unit to walking instead of running?

In Cookie Clicker, there is an upgrade called "One Mind".

Purchase anyway? With the options to purchase anyway or cancel. So far, I've always canceled. What happens if I buy "One Mind"?

How can I duplicate my firework rockets in Minecraft?

In creative mode, I can create a firework rocket, and set it off as many times as I want by right-clicking somewhere. However, I want to set up a red-stone circuit with dispensers to set off many fireworks at once with a nice spread, and a pre-programmed pattern. In order to do this, I need the ability to duplicate rockets. Creating them manually takes so much time, because I have to go one at a time to collect gunpowder, paper, dyes, etc. Is there a way I can duplicate my completed rockets in Creative mode? This would save lots of time. What would you suggest? I am running my world using the minecraft_server.jar provided by minecraft.net. I can install additional plugins there as needed, unless of course I can already do this with Creative-mode only.


Tekkit classic crashes with no error log

At random points while playing, the game window will just close down and I'll be left at the desktop. There are no error logs made. I wouldn't mind, only strange things happen when I load my world again, for example just now I spent ages clearing some land above my quarry, only for it to crash and reset the land again. Weirdly, I had just taken some cells out of a chest and put them in my inventory. When I loaded the world, they were still in my inventory, but they were in the chest as well. Another example is I loaded the world and I spawned at the starting spawn with an empty inventory. Does anyone know what's going on?


Do competitive bans eventually "forgive" a player?

In _Counter-Strike: Global Offensive_ , I was kicked for doing too much damage to my teammate. This gave me a 30 minute competitive ban. I know that after you get a 30 minute ban, you get a 2 hour ban, then a 24 hour ban, and a 7 day ban. So after my 30 minute ban, if I don't get another ban for, well, a set amount of time, and then I get another ban, will my ban be a longer ban, or can my ban records be erased?


What unlocks "Hire Old Allies" in Find Mii?

I can now "Hire Old Allies" for Play Coins in the original version of Find Mii. I thought this was new functionality that appeared with the most recent update, but other people have the update and _can't_ hire old allies in Find Mii. Both my 3DS (Ver 6.2.0-12U) and StreetPass Mii Plaza is updated to the latest version. I have 148 Play Coins. I also recently earned the "Completed Find Mii five times" Accomplishment. What are the conditions to unlock the hiring old heroes in Find Mii?
