How do you move caged beasts in Dwarf Fortress?

I've got a fortress that's grown up past its adolescent phase and is starting to mature. Naturally, I've had a number of encounters with goblins and werewolves. Since my primary defense is a hallway full of cage traps, I now have several dozen goblins chilling out in cages in my animal stockpile room. Although ostensibly I could keep them there forever, I'd much rather do something productive with them like establish a petting zoo, hold war-crimes trials, or start a goblin aquatics program. The problem is that every time I try to move the goblins and/or their cages from their current place in the stockpile, the goblin breaks free and runs about my fortress causing all kinds of havoc. So: how do you successfully move a caged goblin? Either to another animal stockpile, a built cage, or to release them safely into a sealed room?


I can not connect to my friends Minecraft Hamachi server

I am trying to connect to my friends Hamachi server, but whenever I go to my sever selection, it says can not connect. Is there something I am doing wrong? I have been using his server for a while, and this just started happening. I can connect to my other servers, but that one is not working. Here is his `server.properties`:               #Minecraft server properties     #Sun Dec 02 12:50:07 EST 2012     generator-settings=     allow-nether=true     level-name=world     enable-query=false     allow-flight=false     server-port=25565     level-type=DEFAULT     enable-rcon=false     level-seed=     server-ip=     max-build-height=256     spawn-npcs=true     white-list=false     spawn-animals=true     snooper-enabled=true     hardcore=true     texture-pack=     online-mode=true     pvp=true     difficulty=1     gamemode=0     max-players=20     spawn-monsters=true     view-distance=10     generate-structures=true     motd=A Minecraft Server


Does Uncharted have trophies on the PS3?

I just played Uncharted: Drake's Fortune a couple months ago, and I noticed that it didn't have trophies. I looked online for more info, and I thought I read somewhere that they added them or something. Does it actually have trophies in some way? If so, how can I get them? I got my copy last Christmas at the same time as my PS3 Slim. I installed a rather new update with Final Fantasy XIII, and I tried loading my Uncharted game and there's no new thing in the trophies section.


How do I delete a game from my Xbox Live history?

A comment on this question says you can delete a game from your history if you have no achievements for it. I remember awhile back this was not possible, and many users did not like it because playing a trial version of an arcade game would permanently add it to the game history with no way to remove it. Has this changed since the NXE update? How would I do it?


What does + mean in Arcanum weapon stats?

Weapons in Arcanum are described by two letter stat values. However, the same stat is sometimes given as `number` and other times `+number`. For example:   * Mystic gauntlets: AC +4   * Dwarven gauntlets: AC 3 Is there a difference? Is so, what is it?


How to lead a team to victory?

You know the scenario: Your team has done well early game, leading in kills by a wide margin, but now that we're in late game and that a few turrets have fallen from each side, your team is falling apart. Simply put, you're not playing as team and the other team is. They're not necessarily bad players, but your team is scattered on the map and getting ganked. Other than pinging objectives and yelling at them for overextending, is there anything else that can be said or done to get your team to play as one?


COD Black Ops Multiplayer: Did anyone try laying down a claymore ON the converyor belt in radiation?

I'm not at home right now so can't try this out right away. Me and my buddy were discussing ways of defense against the opposing team in domination on the Radiation Map. Players are aware that there is a conveyor belt inside one of the buildings and I've seen a lot of players use it to find a safe passage around the map to get to flag C. If you plant a claymore on the conveyor belt (which would be awesome since the area is bathed in red light and the claymore lasers would be hard to see) does it move along with the belt? For my sake, I hope not :) It would be a good way to score a kill.


What does "F1" key do and how to use it to spread units?

Why do I level up so quickly if I fail?

I've recently started playing League of Legends, and lets face it, I'm not the best. However I do find that I am regularly hitting level 18 at roughly the same time as players with much better scores. Why is this, and why am I not penalized for my failings?


My Dwarf has been resting for ages, how do I get him to wake up?

Currently one of my dwarfs is sleeping in the hospital after I removed his bed and he decided to sleep there instead. He has been resting for over a year now and i'm not sure how to wake him up. The other thing is that under the health screen he is marked for a Diagnosis request, I have a chief medical dwarf available but nothing seems to be happening there either.


What determines size of the zone in Skyrim?

This is not gameplay related but more about what's going on under the hood of the game. What determines the size of the zone in Skyrim? For example, Solitude is one big zone with a lot of people in it, but every shop, however tiny it is, is a separate zone with a loading screen before you enter. The most strange example in my opinion is Jorrvaskr. Why was the basement not made a part of it initially? What's the point in the loading screen there? There are dungeons ten times the size of it.


Can't kill Dr. Eva at the end of Priority: Mars with an imported ME3 character on Insanity

I imported my ME3 adept for another playthrough on Insanity and breezed through until I came up to the part where Dr. Eva is charging at the player character in slow motion. I'm using a Paladin V pistol to shoot her, but even 3 consecutive headshots only bring her down to about 10% health, at which point she kills me while I reload. How can I kill her without lowering the difficulty?


How can I prevent my partner from taking damage?

Controlling two characters on two different screens in real-time is definitely a challenge, and while I don't find myself dying all too often, I am having quite a difficult time helping my partner on the top screen avoid damage. While avoiding attacks with Neku on the bottom screen is fairly straightforward (you run away from danger and/or dodge with a skillful drag of the stylus), I have absolutely no idea how something similar can be done on the top screen. As far as I can tell so far (I haven't gotten too far in the game) my only means of controlling the top-screen character is by attacking with one of three different combos using the d-pad. Is there any way to avoid damage on the top screen other than guessing which noise is about to attack next and dealing out a preemptive strike (a technique I don't consider overly reliable)? If that's my only option, how do I pick which noise to attack when there is more than one of them on either of my sides?

Why can't I dispel this ward?

I seem to be having some (a lot) of difficulty dispelling wards on treasures in _Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning._ The problem is, after reading the tooltip ~3 times and **still** not understanding exactly what it was I was supposed to do, I figured I'd just learn as I went. Sadly, this hasn't worked. At all. Even with my increased Dispel skill, I _still_ fail on the dispels. **EVERY**. **SINGLE**. **_TIME_**. **How do I dispel these wards?**


Is there a way to play tutorials you have skipped?

I skipped the monster tutorial without really thinking about it because I was trying to save so I could turn off the Playstation and go to bed. Now I'm worried I missed something important. Is there a way for me to replay it?


Do counters, clean hits and other similar attributes modify damage?

Soul Calibur V seems to be much more mindful of specific types of hits than previous versions. I was wondering how these new hit attributes modified damage.   1. Do clean hits, 8way run counters, regular counters, etc modify the damage done to the opponent?   2. Do hits from the back, or hitting someone in the head modify the damage?   3. Do the damage properties stack? Does a clean hit counter do more damage than a clean hit or a counter individually? What is the most stacking that can happen on a single move? Can hit attributes be stacked with additional damage done as a result of hitting your opponent in the back?


How does PS Vita work with PS1/PSP games?

What do PS1 and/or PSP games look like on the PS Vita? Do they fill the screen? Also since the PSP has only one analog stick, for PSP games like Monster Hunter where they used the PSPs face buttons as a analog stick replacement - if I play them on the Vita, can I use the second analog stick? Or do I have to use the face buttons? Will the games play the same as they did on the older system? Or will there be changes to conform to the new system?


Where can I catch the different types of fish?

I'm currently trying to obtain the best equipment possible in preparation for the final boss and the survival dungeon. However, in order to do so, I need to take on a challenge of a...decidedly different nature from anything else in the game. I need to spend my time fishing. Unfortunately, it seems that I don't exactly have the patience for it; there are so many different fish and so many different possible locations to fish for them that I end up feeling exhausted when I look at the amount of fish required to earn each reward. I don't want to go fishing for hours trying to find one particular type of fish only to discover that it's not even in the water pools that I've been trying. So, to help me get done with this as quickly as possible: where can I catch each type of fish? In what sort of water or lava are they found? Are there any fish that can only be caught in one particular stage/location?

How do I properly execute Manji Carve Fist?

I am referring to a move with Yoshimitsu, seen below: ![Manji Carve Fist](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6cALh.png) While seemingly a simple move to input, I can never seem to get this move off, no matter how hard I try. Seeing how it is an extremely fast attack that is very useful in the competitive scene, I would love to learn the proper timing so I can pull these off with ease.


How can I best convert a picture to the Minecraft wool color space?

How can I best convert a picture to the Minecraft wool palette? Minecraft wool comes in a variety of colors and shapes, but it's not a very good one: there's too many shades of pink and blue and not enough yellows. Short of asking everybody on your server to use the same texture pack as you, that's not going to be good. How can I make do with the colors Minecraft gives you?


Is there a PC controller that behaves exactly like an Xbox 360/PC Windows Controller?

I have an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows and I know that it's very good and one of the most or even the only, sometimes, PC controller supported by recent games. A friend of mine would like to know if there is an alternative product, possibly cheaper, that **behaves exactly like the Microsoft one** , so that even the games cannot understand the difference.


Why are items in the store marked red?

I cannot figure out why I cannot purchase items in the shop in Survivor Squad. I have all the necessary ingredients, but the items in the list are marked red so I cannot buy them: ![Screenshot of in-game shop](http://i.stack.imgur.com/vqTuW.png) I even specifically emptied back packs of other stuff and only put sufficient supplies. In another attempt at this node, I was only able to buy one item, and I do not see any rhyme nor reason as to why I can or cannot do that.

What property of redstone torches allows activating stacks of items?

Looking at this video about the new pistons in Minecraft 1.7, he has arranged 3 horizontal-pushing pistons in a stack vertically and is using an alternating pattern of redstone torches to activate them together.                 D'||=|       'D||=|     __D'||=|     *D for dirt; ' for redstone torches; ||=| for pistons; and _ for redstone wire      What minecraft circuit wizardry is in play here that makes all the pistons activate together when the input is on? Furthermore, could the pattern be extended upwards indefinitely like this?

Do the Boxes and Containers in Borderlands work much like the different kinds of Chests in Diablo 3?

I've noticed that some containers in Borderlands always contain ammo, and others always contain guns, and others always contain both. Is there further classification beyond this? In Diablo 3 for example, Resplendent Chests were the best kind, with the highest chance of receiving PHAT LOOTZ when you opened one. Is there a 'best' container in Borderlands?


How can I farm experience?

I do not meet the recommended level for any of the areas that currently contain quest locations. I could probably take the challenge there anyway, but I am curious how I would go about gaining enough experience to get to the recommended levels if I had a mind to. Is there any way to go back through areas you've already cleared out and kill the enemies there again? Is there some way to reset the area I just cleared so that the enemies respawn there?


Can I join a game in the middle of a 1st playthrough if I'm just starting a 2nd playthrough?

Some of my friends are playing Dead Island, but they are hopelessly behind me in terms of story progression.

To put it simply, can I join a 1st playthrough chapter 5 game if my game is 2nd playthrough chapter 2?

Can you purchase Civilization V via retail and add to your Steam account? (Semi Duplicate)

I'm looking at purchasing Civilization V sometime either today or tomorrow but was wondering if it can be added to my Steam account if store bought. I have really slow internet so would rather use a CD to install a game rather than downloading, although I'd really like to have the game on my Steam account. I was reading similar questions and have read that for only certain games you can add them to your actual account. I read that for Civilization IV you can't do this if you purchase it via retail store, but was wondering if anyone might know if it works for Civilization V?

How do I select two types of entities in Minecraft with the type selector?

I've asked this question towards a developer for minecraft and I thought I'd ask here too since they might not see the question. How do I select two entities in Minecraft for example: **/say @e[type=![Player,Item],r=50]** Would select any entity not matching players and items, so things like Creepers, Ghasts, XPOrbs, PrimedTNT etc within 50 blocks and print them to the chat (I'm experimenting on the latest snapshot, 14w18b)


Is there a way to view my current equipment from the Auction House?

I know that you can compare a potential item for sale with the corresponding item on your character by hovering on the house item's icon, but is there a way to "review" what you've currently got equipped as a whole? I mean, before actually performing a specific search? I'm thinking that it'll be mighty useful when you try to go to the AH to ramp up your gear and can't recall what you're buying for OR if you're looking out for quick ramp ups (like if, for example, I've just logged in) . I find that not every time I go there I already know what I want to get.


Monster kills +X experience

Doing solo, this is fairly straightforward. With the `monster kills +X experience` property, this will add X experience points per monster killed. How does this work in multi play however? Do I have to kill the monsters myself, or is "monster kill" meant to be global (i.e. does it give me the experience bonus if someone else lands the killing blow)?


How long is a typical play session of Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator?

I'm looking to set up and play Artemis during a gaming event and would like to know what a typical play time is like. People will be coming and going during the event, and it would be nice to let people know when they can get in on the action. I've not played the game at all and have no idea if its mission based, and each mission has its own specific amount of time required to complete, or if its just open ended and you slowly make your way through a story. Any info about how the amount of time it takes to play from people that have played it before would be wonderful. Game Website: http://www.artemis.eochu.com/

How can I build Gaige so I don't have to aim?

Gaige the Mechromancer's main selling point was that she'd be easy to play, hard to master, an ideal class for people not familiar with shooting games. I was intrigued by this idea and wanted to see how she plays going for the "no aiming" skills. However even _as_ someone familiar with shooting games I've thus far found it very hard to make use of her "shoot bullets and don't bother aiming" playstyle; Anarchy notably seems to be very hard to make use of. I also find this playstyle runs me out of bullets extremely quickly. How can I build Gaige to be playable without all that "aiming" and "accuracy"? Do I just have to put all my skill points into Deathtrap (who _does_ help) or is there some way I can get that crazy gun damage without that crazy gun aiming?

What happens if I tell my target I'm part of the Dark Brotherhood?

I want to know if there are any different outcomes based on how you handle an assassination for the Dark Brotherhood. I usually kill outright without any prior contact but during my last assignment, I engaged the target in conversation. There were two possible options: "So and so sent me and they are angry" and "I'm part of the Dark Brotherhood, I'm going to kill you." So what happens if I talk to them first? If I tell them I'm part of the Dark Brotherhood, do they try to bribe me? If I reveal that an angry person sent me, do I receive the option of helping them work it out as opposed to murder? I'm just curious about all the outcomes.


Where are Deus Ex saves stored?

I'm trying to play Deus Ex (NOT Human Revolution), but it recently developed a major bug that refuses to let me see anything on the screen.

I'm pretty sure they are not on the steam cloud, due to how old the game is, but there are no saves in the My Games folder.

Inventory Slot Detection

In Sethbling's snapshot 14w07b video, he uses a command block to give him jump boost while he is wearing his Boots of Leaping. I am trying to imitate this for a multiplayer map I am making. Wearing golden boots called "Stealth Boots" is supposed to give that player invisibility. I am using this command: `/effect @a[Inventory:[{Slot:100b,tag:{display:{Name:"Stealth Boots"}}}]] 14 30000 200` I do know that in the video he is using a /testfor command, but since I'm making a multiplayer map in order to use this technique I'd have to define a scoreboard variable for each player - and even then, the players would be finite. Thus, I want to be able to use the command DIRECTLY. When I use that command, it either says "That player cannot be found" or "The entity UUID provided is in an invalid format" - the former of which I'm familiar with; the later I've barely ever seen before. So, my method doesn't seem to work - how do I fix it?


How do I get Marie to talk to me again?

My social link with Marie (Aeon) is currently at Rank 4. I am in August 2nd and am on summer break. According to this link, Marie is available on Wed/Sat/Sun and all holiday days but not on rainy days. It also states that Rank 5 becomes available after July 24th. Since July 24th, there's only been one rain day, but she's never appeared outside the velvet room. If I go in the velvet room and speak to her, she says something along the lines that I (the protagonist) am busy right now and she doesn't want to talk to me. What am I doing wrong? What should I do to get her to spend time with me again?

Can Vitality and specific class help in Belcher's Bluff?

Belcher's Bluff is a minigame based on exausting the opponent life before yours using various skills and strategies. That said, it is already confirmed in various guides that using foods as mango pie and regeneration boosters one can have an easier life, since life regeneration helps in outlasting the opponent. Does the base class life, Vitality stat, and regeneration skills or traits also influence the health amount and regeneration during the minigame, allowing to easier wins with certain class/skills/traits/gear combination?


Should a levelling Prot Paladin use a 2her or sword/shield?

I am levelling a Prot Paladin and am wondering if I would kill mobs faster with a two-hander or sword and shield? The former gives me bigger numbers but the latter gives me Avengers Shield and Shield of the Righteous to rotate in. This is all assuming the weapons are of comparable item levels.


Do the three races of starcraft 2 HOTS model rock paper scissors?

Each race has distinct differences with infantry and air. Is there such a model that makes one race superior over another? An example would be Terran is better than Zerg which is better than Protoss which beats Terran again. If you grew up playing Pokemon, this is similar to the type of Pokemon you start out with, fire, water, grass. To apply it to Starcraft 2, we may consider a firebat to be "fire", a zergling to be "grass" and a zealot to be "water". Firebats might win against zerglings, zerglings would be able to swarm zealots, and zealots would just out damage the firebat... In your experience of the game, have you seen this to exist?


Do pengulls reappear to breed on the same location in the next winters?

When winter begins, pengulls start jumping out of the ocean and assume a random spot in the world as their breeding ground. That spot has thin layer of ice and is marked on the map. But when the next winter starts, pengulls don't seem to repopulate all their previously inhabited spots. It might have been because the last time they were there they were exploded by some gunpowder. Do these pengull spots rotate each winter, or do they only not repopulate locations that have proven to be bad in the past?


Minecraft Won't Launch With Forge

I have my launcher set to re-open after the game closes.

How and when to break knock up cc with cleanse dash?

I have read that you can break the knock up cc by using cleanse and following that with a dash. My question is in two parts;   1. In what part of the knock up animation should i use the cleanse/qss and also when should I use my dash.   2. Which abilities count as dash I mean I know of lucian and graves e those are dashes but do abilities like yasuo e and irelia's q which need a target count as a dash for breaking the duration of the knock up cc?


Punishing Banshee Play After an Early Scout

Let's say I'm 90% sure that the player is going to make 2-3 banshees with Cloak on Scrap Station. I know I have a lot of options here, but I'm interested in what the community would do. Here's a list of what I'd usually do as Terran:   1. Grab a fast E-bay and throw up 2 turrets.    2. Favor marines over marauders from the Rax, usually 2x vikings from Starport leaving the Factory doing nothing.    3. Expand once the banshees are killed. However, I feel like I could punish a well scouted banshee play more. Should I leave my marines and vikings to defend, and maybe move out with the 4-5 marauders I have to try to kill a building or two? Should I make changes to my build if I am going 1-1-1 or 3rax?   What if I'm playing Protoss or Zerg? Thanks in advance.


How can I track "Magic Weapon"s cooldown?

The Wizard's magic weapon states that it increases damage by 10%, lasts 5 minutes. However it doesn't give a duration timer near my health orb like similar buffs. How do I know when my magic weapon has expired?


How to increase station storage?

I have super large station in a city of 175,000, so coverage of station is fully covered by buildings. But I never seen more than 1,500 passengers in my station. That's bad, because if some Airbus A380 land on the linked airport, they will totally drain my station. I made some feeder services by buses, but passengers from there won't remain longer than couple of seconds and I still only have around 1,500. Is there any way to "store" more passengers in station?


COD:MW3 Exploding Cash In Online

So, I've been playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on my PS3 for a while now and it's really starting to get on my nerves that every time someone gets killed on multiplayer they explode money everywhere. I've searched and searched, but cannot seem to find where to turn this off and display either A) Blood or B) Nothing. Both would be preferable to dropping money when I get killed. Does anyone know how, or even if, I can change/disable this?? Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to kill Ulfric after joining the Stormcloaks?

So I've been thinking if it's possible to join the Stormcloaks only to realize Ulfric's an ass and kill him after that at some point of the game (I know you can't just go and kill him at first because he's an important NPC for the main story quests). I don't want to join the Empire and - in my mind - what would make sense in my character's storyline would be him joining the Stormcloaks at first (because of how the game starts and my character being a Nord and having escaped with Ralof), but later realizing how Ulfric is only after power and how his fight against the Empire might even benefit the Altmers by weakening both forces (Empire and Rebellion). His Talos talk is just an excuse for his actions, as I see it. I really don't like this guy (he's a crazy racist who would do anything for power), but I also don't like what the Empire has become. Please note that I don't really want spoilers about the plot, I just want to know if it is possible to challenge Ulfric to one-on-one combat "in the Old Nord Way" or just take the Rebellion for myself by assassinating him.


Are money rocks shared?

How do I get more crafting recipes?

I decrypted a message from a console, and it has done this. ![Message #47](http://i.stack.imgur.com/8Qu0Y.png) I don't seem to be able to decrypt it further, so I assumed this was a clue to a crafting recipe. But I put a casing fragment, logic circuit and bindings into a lab station and it said there is no such recipe. What am I doing wrong?


Can I raise tax on myself?

I currently have a small realm in Ireland consisting of one duchy in which I have personal control over all the counties (i.e. my entire realm is my demesne). As such, I am the baron of every castle in my realm. One of the laws I can pass is the option to collect tax from feudal lords (which gives some extra money, at the expense of a negative reputation effect from the lord holding the castle). However, all of the castles are run by me - is it possible to tax myself in this way? Will the money come from the holding, or my treasury? Will there be any reputation effects? Or will nothing happen until I give up the barony to another lord? **If I pass this law, what will the effects be?**

What is the order of any type of "resurrection" in League of Legends

I know that there are several types of resurrection skills in LoL. What do I mean by the " **resurrection** " term? Following skills and items can be categorized under the term "resurrection":   * Champion Passive - Aatrox Passive    * Item - Guardian Angel    * Champion Skill - Yorick - Ulti    * Champion Skill -Zilean - Ulti To combine all of this, all of the other skills and items should be used on Aatrox. I'm just curious about what order these skills will take effect? Assuming;   * Skills used just before first death    * There is continuous damage that is applied on the champion Aatrox (say 3k true damage per second) With above assumption what will happen? Has anybody ever tried this? _Note: If I forgot to mention any skill, passive or item that resurrects the applied champion please indicate them, too._


How do I get to where the Echo Gem is leading?

I have the Echo Gem that I stole from someone's house, and used it to get to an area where the indicator turns red (indicating, I assume, that that is where I need to be) I am on my boat. Problem is, I can't get to where I need to apparently be. There are rocks everywhere impeding my path, and I can't seem to get around them. I am in the top middle-ish area of the map - there are icebergs and little brown rocks and I can't figure out how to get through. How do I get to where I need to go?

What is the proper way for using a special move that requires charging?

I can't say I'm a professional (or even well versed) SF4 player, so pardon any terminology discrepancies I make. Though I've had a copy of SSF4 lying around for quite a while, I've gotten into it only recently and came across an issue that has always bugged me in fighting games. While some characters (such as Ryu) have very precise means of performing special moves, others (such as Guile) require charging directional input in order to pull off a special move. I find that this charge really gives away your intentions (unless you pull off the move during some insane combo. That's not what I'm talking about) and makes it difficult to react with a special move quickly. When I'm playing as Ryu, my opponent has no way of knowing that I'm about to dish out a Hadoken, and if he happens to jump over me, I can counter with a Shoryuken without too much preparation. However, when I'm playing as Guile and I want to pull off a sonic boom, then I either have to start backing away, or crouch back to hold my position, both rather obvious giveaways. Also, there's no quick way to react with a Flash Kick when someone is jumping at you. Again, Guile is just an example, and I have these issues with most charge based moves. Is there a better way to use such moves that I'm missing, or do you simply have to use characters with such moves in a different manner when playing?


War dogs fighting each other

I recently had two war dogs chained up next to each other, guarding the entrance of my fortress. Suddenly I noticed blood and body parts covering the hallway and, checking the `r`eports, it turned out the war dogs had somehow turned on each other, one managing to kill the other. I've never experienced this before - I was under the impressions dogs were automatically "domestic" and can't revert to a wild state. If that's the case, what triggered this fight? A bug or a feature?

Crysis crashes on last level (Reckoning)

I'm been playing through Crysis with out a problem, but now that I'm at the last level (Reckoning) I've been having a lot of technical problems. I'm at the point where you have to battle the large spider robot on this ship deck. I'm can run around fine for a few minutes but eventually everything starts getting really choppy, and the sound starts to glitch. Eventually the program will crash into windows, although I did have it blue screen once. Before this I had zero technical problems. I've search around the net and found that this is a common issue with this level, and the solution is to run the game in DX9 rather then DX10. This, however, does not seem to fix the problem for me. I've reinstalled the game, and reinstalled my video card drivers Any one have any idea what else I could try?

What does buying tokens do?

If you tap the "Get Tokens" button, you'll have the option of buying between 16 and 500 tokens for real money, but I'm confused as to how this works. By default you only start with 15 tokens which replenish at a rate of 1 every 20 minutes. If you buy 16 tokens, do they start getting used up when the initial 15 are gone? Does it add an additional 16 coins which replenish over time, or are they one-time use?

What is a good amount of worker saturation mid to late game?

Base worker saturation was well covered here I'm looking for a good food composition mid to late game running on 3, 4, or 2.5 bases with the first base slowly running out of minerals. I believe you would roughly want ~30 workers per base (say 3 bases) that would account for around 100 of your 200 food. Looking at 100 food seems like way to many workers, should this be lower to provide more food for a larger army? I understand every game can be different but what would be a good general practice; more and more econ as the game get longer or should it taper off at a certain point?

I opened the door to free her and tried talking again but she doesn't say anything. I tried going back to the Ragged Flagon again but she still is not there.


How do people kill the titans in the subway tunnels so fast?

In Resistance 2 co-op during the subway tunnels part of the Bracknell map, there are a number of titans that teleport in at various points. Usually these guys take a lot of punishment before they go down, especially when you get the extra-strength ones that are handed out when you have a full-up party. But sometimes I get in a party where someone seems to know how to one-shot them. The things hardly get two steps out of the teleporter and they're toast. I've personally tried the LAARK and the pulse cannon on the beasts, and as far as I can tell, either of these would need at least four shots to take down a full-strength titan. I've seen other people trying to use these weapons, and getting the same effect I do. Whatever is going on, it seems to be someone down in front, close to the titan, that whacks it. I don't think it's combined LAARK shots b/c I can usually see most of the soldier's wraith shields up. Could this be a map glitch? Maybe there's a sweet spot from which you can get a magic shot off? It seems to be this one part of this one map where this happens. Everywhere else there are titans, they come out and stomp around for quite a while before dying.


Minecraft Armor problem 101

Honor Aztec Strategy

**Preamble:** I love playing civ5 by getting the most out of my UAs/UUs. However, that being said I do like variety so I aim for different victory styles using similar mini-strategies if you will. By far my two favorite are Honor-Aztecs with the +Faith-On-Kill pantheon (tons of stuff on kill :D) and Egypt with the obvious wonder building perks. Strategies like this, where my Civilization's UA/UU syncs amazingly well with other aspects of the game (Social Policies, Wonder Bonuses, Promotions, etc.) make the game a lot of fun for me. **Problem:** I've won (or played until bored) numerous times as my Honor-Aztec strategy with Domination Victory. I was wondering if there was any strategies to allow me to adapt this strategy to get ahead for another victory condition such as Tourism/Culture (BNW) or Diplomatic Victories (Neither of which I've successfully completed before). I'm not looking to keep my strategy 100%; however, there is a reason I use the strategy (i.e. I enjoy it). **Question:** How can I alter my strategy to allow it to work for a Tourism/Culture or Diplomatic Victory (in BNW) such that I still find the game fun (see **Preamble** for constraints)? For example, how can I use my Culture/Faith/Gold gains to get myself closer to a Tourism or Diplomatic Victory? I'm not looking for some overly complex strategy, but I am searching for an answer that's a bit more thought out than: "You can use the gold gains from the honor policy to buy off city-states and the culture to protect you from being defeated by a tourism victory."


Removing Adventurers

Having just lost about a week of progress towards the Saoshyant achievement in my Crusader Kings 2 Ironman game, I am somewhat vexed. Since adventurers are unbalanced, unrealistic and not remotely fun, I'd like to play without them. Unfortunately, I can't simply disable The Old Gods DLC as that would also disable Zoroastrians and the 867 start. Is there a way to balance or remove adventurers while still being able to access Old Gods content and without disabling achievements?

Can you increase your health by eating candies in Hard Mode?

Well I ate around ~50k candies and didn't gain a single health point. Is this a 'hard' feature (like no extra health or it just takes an insanely high amount of candies to gain some) or something? Only way to increase HP I found so far was heart pendant & plug, but with 480 I honestly think there's no way to kill The Developper.


Where did my quest NPC go?

I decided to take A Scroll for Anska sometime last week, and I had Anska following me everywhere. I figured out that I was way too underleveled for the quest, so I went around to various locations to do quests and level up. I noticed she followed me occasionally when I would fast travel to places. I'm back at the cave where I need to do her quest, but I'm not seeing her anywhere. Does she just...magically appear and disappear sometimes? I'm hoping she didn't die when I went back to Whiterun and a dragon spawned in there, too...

How to avoid neck pain when playing handheld devices?

Whenever I play my Game Boy or Game Boy Advance for a long time (more than an hour), I noticed that my neck starts to hurt from bending down to look at the game. I also start to get some finger pain from gripping the game system too tightly. I've tried many different posture changes such as laying on my back, laying on my side, sometimes even laying on the bed on my stomach with the Game Boy dangling in my arms. My question is, does anyone know the correct posture to play a hand-held device for a long period of time?


My children are useless. What should I do?

I've been playing King's Bounty for a while now and have picked myself up a wife. I was very surprised when she asked me to have a child, but since I did not want to upset her (luckily I don't apply this game-logic in the real world) I went along with it. So after a while I embraced a new virtual babe, which took up one of my wife's equipment slots and gave me space for 8 additional scrolls in my spellbook - rather useless. This process repeated itself to produce an even worse offspring granting me +4 scrolls. That's when I decided to stop having children. Now from what I gathered from a good friend of mine who played quite a bit, children can actually give excellent bonuses so I'm just amazingly unlucky. He also said that the only way to start over is to replace my wife, but that the "divorce" would cost half my current gold. The same friend told me that I should use up as much of my gold as possible to minimize my loss, but I don't see anything sensible to buy with my ~200K gold. Is there any other way to split up with my current wife in a less painful manner? Is there a point in the game where really expensive and worthwhile things show up and I should just manage until there? I'm not beyond editing my save files to alleviate this issue, so if you know how to do that, I'm game.


How to find your way in Batman: Arkham City?

How can I put spin on the ball?

I'm at the third hole in Worms Crazy Golf where it "teaches" you how to put spin on the ball. From the graphic, you left-click and drag left for counter- clockwise spin or drag right for clockwise spin. I tried this and, while it unlocked the achievement for my first spin shot, it doesn't work. Rotating arrows appear around the ball to indicate that the game understands what I'm trying to do, at least, but the ball doesn't roll any differently than normal when it lands. What do I need to do for this to work?


Heroes VI graphical problem in third Necropolis mission

Xbox 360 is backwards compatible for Yu-Gi-Oh: Dawn of Destiny, but the game won't start

Whilst doing some research about backwards compatiblity on the Xbox 360, I found one of my favorite games from the original Xbox, _Yu-Gi-Oh The Dawn of Destiny_ , was backwards compatible. I found a small game shop in town that had this game so I proceeded to buy it. I inspected the disc before purchasing, there are no noticeable scratches, scuffs, or anything else that would indicate a problem - the disc is very clean, great! I inserted the game into my Xbox 360 and went to play it but no such luck. Here is the exact error I am getting: ![The text says "Game Error: The game couldn't start.

Can I install Steam on a machine running XBMCbuntu?

I have a living room computer running XBMCbuntu, which is essentially a streamlined version of Ubuntu geared towards running XBMC (and so it boots directly into XBMC). The machine it's installed on is pretty weak from a gaming standpoint, but I have a few indie titles that it should be able to run and I am very curious to see if it would be able to handle in-home streaming of games. Since, to my best understanding, XBMCbuntu has some Ubuntu bits missing to keep it lightweight, I was wondering if it is at all possible to install the Steam client on it. A simple Google search did not yield anything reliable/conclusive, and so I turn to the expertise of you fine gentle- persons. Have any of you had any experience with installing Steam on a plain XBMCbuntu machine? If so I would love to know how to get started. To be clear, the machine is more or less at the state one would get to by following the installation instructions on fresh machine.

I am trying to level up those two but they are pretty hard to find comparing to tanks. Don't know any Tunguska locations on conquest for example.

Is it possible to change resolution?

I am currently playing SimGolf and appears that the game only runs in a resolution of 800x600 - I do not see an option to change screen resolution or to run the game in windowed mode. Is it possible to change the resolution that the game runs in to either 1920x1080 fullscreen or a windowed mode?

I am always caught by pursuers who flanked me.


How does the magnet work in Worms Reloaded?

How do you access the "Piercing the Shroud" mission if you've already completed the campaign?

I beat the campaign and then saw that I was 25/26 on missions. I did some research and found out about the secret level, Piercing the Shroud. I went back and got the secret (avoiding a spoiler here) and then beat the level. However, on my "Mission Archives" screen I can't find that level. Also, I can't get back to the Star Map to select it. What do I have to do to select that level, or do I have to start the campaign over?


Worms Reloaded (demo) menus act as if down arrow is being pressed all the time

Unlike this guy, I can launch the Worms Reloaded demo from Steam on my Windows 7 64-bit machine just fine. However, once I get into the demo, all the menus act as if I'm holding down the down arrow (or some similar key). I know this is not the case because I'm not touching either my keyboard or mouse, and according to other programs, no key events are being sent. I don't know if this has any effect once I start playing, because I could barely configure my team. Any help would be appreciated.


Are new levels becoming available without any announcements in-game?

Yesterday I received an in-game notification that there were two new levels available for me to build. One was a food level (Bongo's Sandwiches), and the other a residential level (Chiss Apartments). Those were initially not available for building, and I waited until this morning and they were available (presumably due to a bug fix on the developer end). Just for amusement, I started tapping on other types of floors and discovered that there was a new recreation level (Planetarium), ANOTHER residential level (Talz Apartments), and a new Imperial level available (Blaster Repair). None of these three new floors provided any notification that they were available for building. I know I didn't miss them being available previously because I have tapped on things randomly before, too without getting new levels. ![Notifier](http://i.stack.imgur.com/B89mMm.png) ![Levels](http://i.stack.imgur.com/nyF7Pm.png) ![levels](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ii5z3m.png) ![levels](http://i.stack.imgur.com/zK6ubm.png)


Call of Juarez: everytime stutter when loading something

I'm still at the start of the game but one thing is annoying as hell: whenever I'm maneuvering around in the map and the game needs to load something (e.g. a sound or such a thing), there's a stutter or a short pause so to say. E.g. I climb up something it's clear that the game suddenly pauses for the sound load (at least that's my impression) the first thing it needs to play it. I've also saw this the first time the wolf came at me right in the tutorial: a short stop and then the sound played. What's also really annoying about this is that it almost always breaks the tension because I already can expect something to happen the next moment. I'm on a W7Pro 64 with 12GB RAM, i980EE@3.3Ghz with Intel 160GB SSD and a HD 5970 so I hardly think it's the spec not being enough and thus all my searching with Google and friends turning nothing up (they usually expect hardware not sufficient problems). I also notice some weird stop, albeit less annoying, when calling up the Objective or Log screens (I expect the game to pause in this case, so no problem).


How does the Elemental Equilibrium passive skill work?

How does the "Elemental Equilibrium" passive skill work? For how long is the change in resistance applied to the enemy? How does it affect enemies when you hit them with multiple elements at the same time? Does the penalty stack or stay at 50%)? Also in the case of multiple simultaneous elements, which element is considered "first" to hit? Is "Chaos" damage considered elemental? Does it apply to spells as well as melee and ranged attacks?


If you run out of time on Crumbling vault, do you die?

Rogue: Is expertise important for 5-man heroics, how important?

How important is expertise for an assassination rogue in 5-man heroics? All the info pages I find for rogue stats (hit/expertise) are always aimed at hitting lv88 mobs (raid content) which I'm not (currently) interested in. For instance, I don't need to hit the 'hit cap' for poisons (spells) so I'm suspicious of the purported importance of the expertise cap. Any info would be appreciated, I'm looking at reforging my gear and trying to figure out what to reforge into what. The lv85/lv87 attack dummies only help so much.


How do I fix the arcane blacksmith glitch?

Even though I have the arcane blacksmith perk, I am unable to upgrade the dark brotherhood shrouded armor, the ancient shrouded armor nor the thieves guild master armor. It still says I must have the perk to be able to upgrade them. Removing, re-adding the perk doesn't do it, neither does giving myself a new set of armor. I can upgrade other enchanted armor just fine (such as the normal thieves guild armor).

How can I perform the tightest turn possible in a jet?

Sometimes I seem to be able spin my jet around like a top and start going the opposite direction immediately. Other times my jet takes a wide looping turn. This seems to be mostly dependent on my air speed and whether or not I'm using thrust at the moment but I don't have a good handle on it. What influences the jet's rate of turn? How can I perform the tightest turn possible?

Adding multiple steam desktop shortcuts

I've just read this page about creating desktop shortcuts for my games, however steam recently broke for me and I lost all my shortcuts. Although I can create them one at a time, I have almost 215 games and it would take me at least an hour to sort them. Is there an easier way to create a mass amount of shortcuts or do I have to do it manually? If it helps, I use fences Thanks in advance.


Is there any HUD cue that indicates that you can Unite Morph?

I'm on Operation-007A which starts you out with a very limited number of wonderfuls and not many ways to get more. So in each combat phase, I try to attack something only to have my character start wailing away with their default attack without a way to cancel until they get smashed in the face. Is there any sort of way to tell that you can do a unite morph, whether it be a weapon unite or even unite guts, on the HUD or just in general?


What does a naval route's risk rate mean to me?

I'm catching up on the naval missions and so far all of them listed the route's risk rate (starting at 80% and going down as I finish missions) and the reward (lowering the risk by 25%). Why does it matter? Does it somehow affect the rest of the game?


Running LoL on guest account on mac

I'm unable to run League of Legends on a guest account on my mac. Is there something I need to do to be able to do that? I've given all privileges I can give to the guest account in System Preferences.

Install game on flash drive and save to hard drive

I have an Xbox 360 Arcade, with a 20GB hard drive, and it's pretty full. I scratched my Assassins Creed game disc, but it still works and now I want to install it. I can't erase stuff on the hard drive since they're not my games installed on it, but my brothers. Please help I'm too nervous to play Assassins Creed in fear I might scratch it again, rendering it useless. So my question is, can I install it to a USB flash drive and still save to the hard drive? If not, what can I do?

How to get both quests from Romero?

I am playing Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines with community (unofficial) plus patch v8.4.2, and I am attempting to achieve both the "Pimpin' for Romero" and "You Only Die Once A Night" quests that he provides. I completed "You Only Die Once A Night" and attempted to return to Romero, but Romero is gone. His doors are unlocked but he is not on the couch. I loaded an earlier game and completed "Pimpin' for Romero", but now Romero doesn't offer me the "You Only Die Once A Night" quest. I have the console activated if it's a glitch. Is there any way to complete both of these quests for max XP?


What's the point of getting transformed?

I found a crazy machine in the lower level that appears to turn me into another species. I wandered around for a bit after my transformation and tried switching back and forth a few times, but eventually decided to remain as my old self. I came back later and tried again and this time I turned into a different species from before (I think). Other character dialogue doesn't seem to change when I'm transformed. Is this just an aesthetic thing? ![The machine spins and spews vapor from its vents.  The haze clears and you discover that you have transformed.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3HvUn.jpg) For reference, this is what I looked like after my second round of visits to the machine. ![The new me?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Pw0ta.jpg)

How can I make my air force more effective?

I'm playing the Long War mod for XCOM: Enemy Within and I'm nearing the end of month two. It's never been easy to shoot anything down... it usually takes 3-4 interceptors just to take down a small scout. Now that the game is progressing, it's getting even harder, and even rotating through 7 different interceptors I'm running into problems where they're all out for repairs when new UFOs hit. This is even considering the fact that I let the larger ones through without engaging! I feel like I need to focus my research on some improvements that will improve the effectiveness of my interceptors. I've seen the tech tree for Long War but honestly that thing is so huge and lacking in description that I'm having a hard time making heads or tails of what path I need to head down to become more effective as quickly as possible. What short term and longer term plans can I make so that my air force stays effective?


How do I build a Lureplant farm?

I've read the wiki a few times on this, but I'm not quite certain I understand how lureplants work. I've seen people build Lureplant farms. How do you go about this? How do you transplant the lureplant? Do you have to build flooring right around the lureplant to prevent eyeplants from sprouting? And, is it worth the effort? How much meat does it produce? I've read that you can build one right around a spider nest to farm spiders, too. Does the standard lureplant attack them, or do you need for it to sprout eyeplants to do this?

Is renting a museum exhibit a one time charge?

In New Leaf you can now rent museum space on the second floor for 10,000 bells. However the wording "rent" made me wonder; is this a recurring payment or does 10,00 bells cover me until I decide to retire the exhibit? If it recurs, how does that work?

I played League Of Legends for about 50 hours now, but I always played 5vs5 match.

Occasionally when changing between loading screens or menu views I'll notice my cursor start to drift to the left (e.g., strafing left in a FPS, gliding left in a map screen). I take it that this shouldn't happen. If I gently nudge the left analog stick, it will reset back to normal. The stick isn't recalibrating back to center. Is there an easy way to fix this? Is it a known issue? Is this covered under any recognized warranty? Did I wear it out? What's going on?

What games save to the Steam Cloud?

Which games (except Torchlight) store the current state of the game to the Steam cloud? What is the Steam Cloud? Steam is Valve's online game purchasing and digital delivery service/platform. Steam Cloud is a fairly new addition to the Steam platform that saves the state for various games to Steam's servers in the "cloud". Depending on the game it can save things like your savegames, character setup, keyboard mappings, options, etc so that any PC that you go to will download all those settings for you and keep them in sync as soon as you log into Steam.

How do "% chance on critical strike to apply condition" effects stack in Guild Wars 2?

I am currently playing an Engineer and one of its traits in firearm is called Sharpshooter. It's description is "30% chance to cause bleeding for 3 seconds on critical hit." Suppose I also got a Superior Sigil of Earth. It's description is "+60% chance on critical: Inflict bleeding (5 seconds)." How will this stack. Will it give:   * 90% chance to cause a stack of bleeding for 5 seconds(larger of the two durations)   * 90% chance to cause a stack of bleeding for 8 seconds(added the two durations)   * 30% chance to cause a stack of bleeding for 3 seconds AND 60% chance of a stack of bleeding for 5 seconds. (So potentially up to two stacks of bleed on a single critical.) Additionally suppose I am dual wielding pistols each with Superior Sigil of Earth, how will that work?


Why can I no longer equip items?

So I've tried everything when trying to equip a bottle, shield, etc. but nothing works. I have looked everywhere an tried everything I can think of. I've searched google watched walkthroughs. So I've went the whole 9 yards. Before you try and tell me use the minus button I have a dozen times. The mini button is like it was the very beginning if game it's blanked out so you can't use it yet. I'm to the point in the game where I have to feed the thirsty frog and I can't continue in the game unless I can find away to equip a bottle. Could this be a glitch or something?

Squaddie stops taking cover!

I've started having this issue on one squaddie - and only this one squaddie so far - where randomly, in the middle of a mission, he will refuse to use any adjacent cover. I move him from one piece of cover to another, and he stands there like a goof. Fortunately, he's a support, so it's not TOO big a deal. Does anyone know what might be causing this? It's worth noting that the second time I noticed him doing this, I moved him away from cover, then back into cover, and he resumed ducking behind cover like his squadmates.

Is it still possible to spawn "Uber Diablo"?

Not to be confused with the Diablo that appears in Uber Tristram, Uber Diablo was created to soak up duped "Stone of Jordan" rings that were a large problem for a while across servers. The idea was to sell Stone of Jordans to vendors to spawn Uber Diablo on all "Hell" difficulty games for a specific server. Since this event, plus the "Rust Storm" consumed most of the SoJs, is it still reliably possible to spawn Uber Diablo (and therefore get the coveted "Annihilus" charm).

Starting out in WoW

Quick scenario before my question(s): I bought WoW right when the WotLK came out - Toys'R'Us was running a ridiculous Black Friday sale where I nabbed WoW and the two expansions for around $50. I figured what the heck, I'd give the game a try. I started with my free month with a Drawf Priest (perhaps not knowing any better) on a RPPvP realm. It was fun, but I didn't experience as much interaction and party questing as I had figured. After my month trial I didn't renew and just went on with other games to fill my spare time, it was fun, but not $13-$15 per month fun. Blizzard, apparently trying to ramp up sales for Cata, offerred me a free 7 days of game time. So I reinstalled and am deciding to give it another shot: Questions for the gaming.se crowd who are WoW players:   1. What advice would you give to someone starting out with WoW in general? I'm a bit of a casual gamer - getting somewhere between 7-14 hours a week of gaming and just want to have fun.    2. What's the best place or resource to find other gamers to quest with, both in-game and out-of-game.   3. Should I play on a PvP or PvE realm?   4. What should I be reading online to educate myself on WoW, in general?

Is there an easier way to acquire ideal Pokemon?

Is there any way to quickly attain Pokemon with custom levels, custom abilities, and custom EVs? I've got a set of pokemon, the perfect team I use for Wi-Fi gameplay and such, but strong as they may be, their natures are off. Normally this doesn't present much of an issue, but when I come up against other experienced players, it gets really challenging to do anything to them. The problem is they all have the wrong natures, bad moves, etc. The cost and time it would take for me to get the right nature, followed by getting it up to level 100, with the correct EVs, would take years, and I'm looking for quick shortcut that can help me out.

How does APHEELSIK work?

As an Assassin in Desktop Dungeons I'm trying to use the APHEELSIK glyph to help me kill higher level monsters. The game says APHEELSIK: > Poisons an enemy, negating health regeneration until player next deals > damage. So after attacking a zombie a few times I get low health and use APHEELSIK on the zombie. I assume that I can explore to regenerate health and mana well the zombie stays wounded (because I'm only exploring, not dealing damage) but then I come back and the zombie is fully regenerated! So how does one use APHEELSIK in order to prevent monsters from regenerating health while you explore? Have I completely misinterpreted how to use APHEELSIK? Are certain monsters immune?

Stock info while restocking

Is there a way to get a stock information while currently restocking a floor?   For example, I'm currently restocking my fast food with fries. It already has nuggets and burgers in stock but if I want to know how many, when clicking on the floor, I only get the progress bar of the fries restocking.   Is there then a way or any indication to get this information?

How can I earn bits (gold) and gems quickly in the My Little Pony android game?

Seriously, a building can cost 30K bits but I only make 50 per minute. It will take me 10 hours of mindless grinding just to purchase that one building.

Is being flanked worse than not being behind cover at all?

I understand that being flanked has a negative impact on defense. But is having the cover on the wrong site (opposite of the enemy) _worse_ than standing completely uncovered, or the same?


Terraria: Witch Doctor not spawning despite me killing the Queen Bee (in a friend's duplicate server of my world)

I'm pretty new to Multiplayer Terraria. My friend recently got **my world files** and we played together. We decided to hunt the Queen Bee as I wanted to get the Witch Doctor to join my city. I asked him whether it would work if we'd fight the Queen Bee in that particular server, would the Witch Doctor appear in my village, and responded 'Yes'. So we destroyed Queen Bee and I went back to my ordinary server. This is the part I don't understand: The path we dug through the underground jungle into the hive was clearly shown on my mini-map, **although** the path we dug through was untouched. I've been waiting with a valid **jungle** house, (following what was said throughout the wikis and guides) however, the Witch Doctor has not shown up for the past 2 game days. I'm planning to repeat the same procedure in Single Player (as the larvae has only been destroyed in the duplicate world [like all the other blocks we destroyed along our path]) and hopefully, he would come. Before I do this tomorrow, could it be some other reason the Witch Doctor is not spawning?


If I hurry a facility which is already half-built, do I get anything for the hammers I've accumulated?

I've noticed that the gold cost to hurry a building does not go down if the building is nearly complete, as it did in most previous versions of Civilization. If I've built 90% of a city wall (or whatever), but I spend the cash because I need it now, do I get anything back in compensation for all that production time?
