How to split item stacks exactly into fractions using Buildcraft pipes?

I'm building an automated factory in tekkit that is fed by items generated through EMC from Energy Collectors. However, i need to split items up into exact amounts so i don't have any overflow problems in some of the later parts of the factory process. After experimenting with cobblestone and diamond pipes i found out that splitting seems to be probabilistic instead of absolute, which makes sense from a programming standpoint but completely destroys my factory idea since i ended up with one of my testing chests having significantly more items than it should have. How can i split the incoming items into equal parts or even exact fractions? I could work with splitting it into halves and then work with a binary system but even that doesn't work precicely enough. My current idea is to put them into an intermediate chest and have several redstone engines extract them again into different pipes, which should work as long as i keep the redstone engines at equal speed but it still looks overly complicated.


Can I do anything with my spare Swedish nose?

I originally picked up Costume Quest because I thought it would appeal to my wife, but have recently started playing it myself (seeing how I was wrong). So I've been running around Auburn Pines beating monsters and collecting Creepy Treats. So far, I've managed to trade all of my redundant cards with kids I met around the neighborhood, with the exception of an excess Swedish nose. Since I highly doubt that I was simply lucky enough to pick up duplicate cards that the other kids just happened to need, I suspect that the cards collected are in fact predetermined. This leads me to believe that I am supposed to do something with that spare nose, and I don't want to miss my chance once I go through the gate that opened now that I have trick-or-treated all of the houses. So am I reading too much into this, or is there some kid I missed that I could trade the extra nose with?


Does Kha'zix's stealth work vs. towers?

Normally all my expertise in the mechanics of LoL would discount this as NO before it even began as a question. However my friend claims MULTIPLE instances of activating his stealth as Kha'zix WHILE the enemy turret is focusing him, and having the turret STOP attacking him.


What's the best way to get gold without wasting time?

With naxxramas wings coming out these weeks, I wonder which way is the fastest to gain gold (in order to open the wings without paying real money), with as much as possible and no time being wasted. I have already thought about it and found 3 main ways:   * Logging on only to do quests (no time wasted on playing games that wouldn't give you more than 10 gold per 3 wins).    * Arena, arena, arena: looping the arena could be interesting if you try to get your quests done here, but because it's random cards, I wonder if it's really worthwhile.    * Farm farm farm, even if it's "only" 10 gold for 3 wins, which could be worthwhile, but I don't really think so.


Where do I find the three thunderstorm shout  words?

Constant minimap markers and colors for dire and radiant

On the minimap, enemies are marked with a **X** and their _HP_ bars are **red**.   _(In opposite of my teams circles and green bars)_ Because I started the game playing _Radiant_ only, I'm now getting confused when I'm on _Dires_ site with the said minimap markers and colors. **Is it possible to configure the game** (via options or console or _cfg_ s) **such that ...**   * _Radiant_ has circles and green bars   * _Dire_ has crosses and red bars. **... no matter in which team I am?**


Can Humble Bundle V games be installed on ARM systems?

I know that all of the Humble Bundle games can be installed on Linux systems. Is it possible to install and run them on my phone (a Samsung Galaxy Note), since I have a variant of Ubuntu (ARM-based) Linux installed? The minimum system requirements does not specify any requirements regarding x86 or x64 (or ARM). I haven't tried it yet since I don't want to buy the games then find out that it's not compatible.

Thieving/Sneaking Glitch?

Sometimes, when I jump off a tall rock or exit a cave while sneaking, when I exit or land, I will still be sneaking but the crosshairs will appear to be not the shut eye, but the normal crosshairs. Is there a way to fix this? It does not allow you to stand up, or run while like this. I have to re-enter the cave or jump off another rock to get it back to normal again. P.S. For jumping off a rock, you must take some form of fall damage.

What's Included in the F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate and Extraction Point Boxes?

I just got a copy of the _F.E.A.R._ expansion packs _Perseus Mandate_ and _Extraction Point_ from someone on eBay. The listing said that they were new, factory-sealed copies. Before opening the seals (curious rectangular ones as opposed to the standard circular seals usually found on game boxes), I examined them both (top and bottom) closely and they did indeed look clean, that is, there were no indications of a previous seal having been removed and replaced. The discs look clean and in good condition (though the CD sleeves are kind of puffy and odd). However, my concern is with the remaining contents of the box, in that there is none. Extraction Point came with a single card with the default controls listed, but neither came with any sort of manual or any other inserts. (My used copy of—non-director's cut— _F.E.A.R._ included a manual and a notice card about multiplayer usage.) What is included in _Perseus Mandate_ and _Extraction Point_? Is this what they are all like or is my copy missing something (e.g. manual)? I tried looking around for some information, but could not find any on what's supposed to be in the box (which leads me to wonder if it's because there is none). I should point out that _Perseus Mandate_ is on one DVD, but _Extraction Point_ is on two CDs.

Does the piercing mod allow me to shoot through cover/objects?

The description for the Piercing Mod says: > Allows bullets to pierce 0.50-meter thick objects, but at 60% reduced > damage. Ignores 25.00% of defenses on armored targets. 0.5m, or 50cm, seems quite a lot. A lot of the columns/crates/benches etc. that provide cover in the game are easily less than this. Can I shoot through them?


Are there a limited number of artefacts?

Is there a limited number of artefacts, i.e. a limited number of times I can travel to?   If so, should I just be sticking to the main storyline and use the fewest artefacts possible? If I do use a lot of artefacts early on will it affect my endgame? I'm asking this because the brother of a friend said he was restarting his game because he had messed up with the artefacts.


Do minecarts play nicely with traps?

I'm considering lining all my tracks to near the outside in cage traps for added safety, but I'm wondering if building on them causes trouble somehow. Can you build them all right? Do the minecarts go over them smoothly, or do they just crash into them? Does it somehow trap the minecart? What about other types of traps?


How Many Different Ways Can I Kill Raptors?

So I'm playing the web version of Raptor Safari, and it dawns on me that I've been slaughtering raptors in a large variety of different ways, all of which have been generating different amounts of score. Which brings me to the question: Does anyone have a complete list of all of the different ways you can snuff out a raptor, and approximate score values that are generated for successful completion of each method? Here is a taste of some of the different methods. * * * ![Roadkill](http://i.stack.imgur.com/o7W6B.png) **Roadkill** * * * ![Epic Roadkill](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9FmCl.png) **Epic Roadkill** * * * ![Clean Hit](http://i.stack.imgur.com/nLa0J.png) **Clean Hit** (Hitting a Raptor with just the Spikey-thing, without throwing it. * * * ![Toss](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fVEv1.png) **Toss** (Hitting a Raptor with just the Spikey-thing after releasing it.) * * * ![Wheeee](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Okf64.png) **Wheeee!**


Is it possible to copy video files to the XBOX 360 hard drive with the latest dashboard improvements?

With the advent of the 250Gb XBO 360 and the latest dashboard improvements it seems that movie files (such as .avi, .wmv, etc.) still can't be copied to the console's hard drive from an external drive, is there a way to achieve this? I recently bought one of the new, revised XBOX 360s under the impression that it could also be used as a kind of media hub and so I wouldn't have to play content from an external hard drive or by streaming from another computer. What is the purpose of the large hard drive if users are heavily restricted in what they can use it for?

How do I solve a wood shortage?  Or: How can I safely get to some magma?

I'm on my second fortress, and I've encountered a problem I didn't really expect: I'm chronically short of wood. I embarked into a forested area, so I had plenty to begin with, but now I don't have enough to do all the crazy stuff I want to. There are plenty of saplings on the surface, so I haven't totally killed my supply, but still. So, how might this have happened, and what can I do about it? When I started this fort, I was thrilled to find that the first few z-levels are _rife_ with iron and copper ores (a lack of iron was why I stopped playing my first fort), so I've been making a lot of steel. Maybe I should cut that out for a while? Is there any way I can plant trees? Alternatively, how can I reduce my dependence on foreign... er, surface wood? I'm considering the following:   * Digging down for magma   * Digging down for lignite or coal. I'm in a sedimentary layer, so that might be easiest?   * Digging down for tower-caps. Aren't these associated with caverns/fun? Actually, I guess those are all sort of the same plan. Any other ideas for conservation or alternative energy sources would be great. (What ingredients do I need for solar panels? :D)


How do you connect a 3.5mm headphone/mic to DS4 and get audio in both ears?

I tried using the mic that came with the PS4, but I didn't like the way that it fit in my ear. Instead, I opted to buy a pair of earbud headphones that included a mic. I plugged it into my DS4, but I only hear audio out of the left earbud. I would be okay with this, except the mic on this pair of headphones is attached to the wire to the right earbud. Is there any way to get the PS4 to push VOIP chat through the opposite or both headphones?

Why is Metro 2033 having micro-lags?

Since I installed Metro 2033 I can't play it comfortable because constant lags. I was looking for solution and I found only other people problems about frame drops. My problem is different, it's about micro-freezing while frame rate is still in constant value. The most strange thing about that is that I have these micro-lags also in main menu (very rare). Lags, like screen is frozen for less than half a second, getting worse (a lot of such lags) when I'm shooting enemy or people start to talk in the game. My FPS is around 110-120 FPS and my PC config is rather good: Windows 7, 8GB Ram, Intel i5 3.1Ghz, Radeon 7850 so I believe it can't be a problem to have better graphic card or CPU. Am I right? Recently I bought SSD disk because I thought it's disk problem, but no success. Any advice what can I do more? I uploaded video on youtube to show this annoying issue (with slow motion as well to make it easier to notice). Here is the link (watch in HD):


What Soul Memory level should I be?

In each area of the game (Let's refer to them by the final bosses) there is a general Soul Memory level that people are when they reach the boss. For example, on the Last Giant route, players are generally Soul Memory level <10,000. But from there, the choices are very open as to where a player will go, (Lost Sinner, Old Dragonslayer, The Rotten). So what Soul Memory level should I be, in which area, for Coop PvE?


How do I make a Minecraft server with Legend of Notch Installed?

What affects manufacturing costs?

I've been noticing that as I progress through my game on Classic Ironman, the cost for me to manufacture satellites keeps going down. It was §100 when I started the game, at another point it was §78, and now it's down to §70. What affects the cost of manufactured goods? Number of engineers? Workshops? Something else?


How to work with Forza motorsport cars?

I'm a newbie to modern racing games, the last racing game I played was nfs most wanted.. I wanted to get back into racing after watching an amazing video on youtube so went and bought myself the Forza motorsport 4 for xbox. While racing, I noticed that even though I had the acceleration button pressed, the car slowed down during turns etc.. (noticeable by the sound) and after tampering with the settings I found out that changing difficulty level to Hard (or pro) from medium seemed to eliminate that.. however, I had a new problem to deal with.. my car was completely out of control. I noticed that in hard mode, the auto stabilizer is turned off, breaking is not assisted and steering is ABS (whatever that means).. Now my cars have much wider turning curve and it is impossible to make a turn without spinning, coming to a halt or a straight on colliding with the sides of the track. I've tried not accelerating, braking, reversing during turns - all have the same effect - collision or spinning. Why is this all so difficult? what happened to "floor the gas and go" idea, like the one they had on nfs, it was still a lot of fun to play without actually getting into the "realism" - if that is what it is.. My real question is - How do I work, rather, **how do I make my turns in the "hard" mode in Forza motorsport 4?** Is there some trick I need to follow? ps: I noticed the same is true for Gran Turismo 5 on ps3, though I haven't played it much.

How to grab onto a ledge without climbing up

In Batman Arkham Origins (and AC incidentally), if I try to grapple onto a ledge from below (in order to silent-kill a guard), about half the time I'll hang from the ledge and the other half of the time I'll end up automatically climbing up, and therefore exposing myself to the guards. Is there a way to grapple onto a ledge without climbing all the way up (i.e. hang from the ledge), so I can perform a ledge takedown?


Do I get double the conquest points when crafting?

With the new patch there are new items to craft. For some of those items(war supplies) you can get conquest points. If I craft a war supply and it crits(that means I get 2 war supplies instead of 1) do I also get double the conquest points?


Which is better; dual-wielding or fighting with a shield and weapon?

How do I perform silent takedowns?

In Skyrim, when I backstab an enemy his allies notice, even if they're facing the opposite direction and I kill the target in one hit. This makes it difficult to ambush a column of soldiers escorting a prisoner. Is it possible to kill the target in one hit without anyone noticing?

Can we get robbed of gold in Skyrim?

I had about 6,000 gold before selling some stuff to Tonilia in the Thieves Guild. Then I decided to rest there for 2 days so that she gets more cash. I repeated this thing a couple of times and then continued my adventure. Suddenly I noticed I have only 1,000 gold. I have no idea how I got to this amount. I haven't purchased anything so far. Did I get robbed in the Thieves Guild while I was resting? What happened to all my gold?


Where is Jawenko Lava Beast?

I've been a huge fan of the Super Star Wars trilogy eversince. Especially the first installment of this season seems to have some annoying bosses. Jawenko Lava Beast is one of them. Actually he can be a bit of a pain to get past. So I was watching this speedrun the other day, and as soon as Luke advances to the ground level of the Sandcrawler I get curious what happens.. Well what happens is that Jawenko just doesn't show up. Also R2-D2 seems to join him having a break. On my cartridge I have to face Jawenko in Easy and Brave mode. Don't know about the highest difficulty yet. So where the heck are the two of them?


If my airspeed and groundspeed are equal, should I glide long or glide short? What about waterspeed?

My current kart has a groundspeed of 3/6 and an airspeed of 3/6. I'm assuming this means my top speed is the same for when on land and while gliding. Therefore, it would make sense that it doesn't matter whether I take an air path or a ground path. So, the question is: in places where there's a glide section and a ground section that share the same path, and your airspeed and groundspeed are equal, is it better to keep the glide going for as long as possible, or to dive for the ground and cut it short? Does it matter at all? A good example of the situation would be the forest section of Rock Rock Mountain/Alpine Pass. A more interesting situation occurs in DK Jungle - there's a gliding section above a water section. My kart has a waterspeed of 4/6. It doesn't feel like I save any time by diving into the water (or stowing the glider) instead of gliding over it, but maybe that's due to the angle I dive at or something. In theory is it even possible for it to help?


Lydia gone after Containment quest?

After finishing the Containment quest Lydia was taken over (controlled) by a mage. How can I get her back? * * * Thanks for your answers guys. It really had me stumped. I now also believe she must have died during the hectic fight and reanimated by a mage, seeing as she was no longer just 'lydia', but 'that guys lydia'. I'll load an older game and try it again.


Does your dagger have to be in your main hand for the extra Ambush damage?

I just started a new rogue and I was glancing at the tool tip for Ambush and the way the tool tip is worded it makes it sound like you can have the dagger as either the off hand or the main hand to receive the extra amount of damage. After doing some tests in game I can't really see if having it as your main hand or off hand really alters your damage bonus. My question is, does having your dagger in the main hand or off hand make the damage bonus apply? If it does actually matter is there any chart or stats someone could provide that would show me actual proof? Thank you.


Is there any logic behind how will bonuses get added each rank?

I noticed that each soldier gets different will bonuses every promotion. Does this depend on something specific in the mission such as kills or actions, or is it completely random? Does every soldier have their own predetermined will bonuses? -- ADDED FOR CLARITY -- What I have seen is that all rookies start with a will of 40 (from my limited sample size at the start of the game). Once you get the "new guy" perk that allows specializations for new recruits their will can get bumped anywhere from +1 to +10 points (up to 50 is the highest I've seen on a soldier with 0 missions). From there, every rank seems to grant some amount of will points which either differ by soldier or by something else. I'm wondering if some soldiers are just more gifted than others and generally get larger bonuses or if it's something mission specific that determines it. I have a colonel that has a will of 90 and another that has only 75. Now, some of this is probably due to the perk that grants larger will bonuses, but I haven't seen any numbers on this. Any info related to will progress would be great. I'm trying to build a psi army.


Changing keyboard to steering wheel in F1 2012

Recently installed F1 2012 and began using it with keyboard. Since then I've brought a Nitho Drive Pro v512 Air steering wheel but cannot get it to work with the game. The device is installed, drivers installed and I can change some of the controls under My F1 to be used by the steering wheel. However, it's almost impossible to drive (like using the keyboard before) and the vast majority of functions still require the keyboard. It's as if the game is not fully recognising the steering wheel. Can you help?


Why cant I log into minecraft?

I quit and restarted Minecraft because it was being slow/lagging a lot to see if it would help. Unfortunately when I opened it up I was logged out and everytime I try to log in it gives me the message: > Uusername or password incorrect So I re-typed everything and made sure to type it all correctly and it still wont let me log in. I also noticed that as soon as I hit log in the password becomes blank. I have purchased the game so its not like a trial has expired or anything like that. What can i do to fix this?

Skyrim crashes to desktop in populated areas

I've been playing Skyrim for a few months without issue -- character is level 38. Suddenly, today, I'm getting very frequent crashes to desktop -- usually when I'm in major cities. Often just after fast travelling, but can also happen while I'm running/sprinting through town. It may not be related by my sprint function (ALT) has gotten a little sticky-glitchy today, too. I've tried lowering various setting (shadows, anti-aliasing, etc). Seemed to help a little but not much -- or that may have been coincidence. Screen resolution is at the lowest setting. I read on other fora that sometimes the size of individual game files could be problematic, if they're near 18MB -- mine are all under 10MB (though I tried the sleep-for-7-days fix that was recommended to help that, just in case). I've read that some mods can be problematic, but I'm only running one small mod -- the one that make veils of ore glow, so you can spot them easily -- and the problem never happens when I'm out in the wilderness near ore veils, so I think it's unrelated. Anyone? Anything? I'd be very grateful for any suggestions. Ideally couched in human-speak, rather than computer-speak ... I'm only semi-computer literate.

How do I earn the "Creamed corn" achievement?

In The Cave there are 2 cans of corn that you find during your journey: the first one at the Miner's puzzle and the second hidden behind a crate on the Island. I tried everything that came to my mind with them: blowing the miner's one with dynamite (it's easy, just leave the can where it stands and the miner will throw a stick at it), jumping with the island one in the volcano, getting drowned with them, and many other creative ways to try and get this achievement. What am I missing? What am I supposed to do?

How to make NCR rangers stop attacking me in Fallout New Vegas

Pre signals are green when all exits are red - OpenTTD

I have two parallel tunnels (one-way) that lead to a station with 3 platforms, since this line is very highly trafficked. When the trains emerge from the tunnel, I would like them to stop and wait (before crossing the track intersections) if there are no available platforms. I figured this was a simple task using normal signals (for each platform) and pre-signals (for each tunnel exit). However, the pre-signals remain green when there aren't any platforms available! Here's a capture of such a circumstance. _You'll notice the pre-signals at the two right most tunnels (ignore the left two tunnels and their track, they're irrelevant) are green, despite all platform signals being red._ ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/zWsZK.png) I think it might be because the two tunnels are connected by a 90-degree turn, which the game recognises as a possible route. Despite the trains being unable to go back through those tunnels (the pre-signals are one way), the pre- signals are recognising each other as potential exits and so remaining green, but that's just my (probably incorrect) diagnosis. Am I misunderstanding how these signals work?   What is a working configuration for this setup? Thanks!


How can I find out how big an opponent's realm is?

In Crusader Kings II, Catholic rulers can ask the Pope for a licence to ki-- er, invade, and take the top-level title (Duke, King, Emperor, God-King, etc.). You can only do this to invade people bigger than you, so your best bet is to build up your realm until you're just slightly smaller than the other guy and then request the invasion. **How do you tell when you're just a little smaller than the other realm?** There's a nice number in the upper-right corner of the screen that tells you what your total realm size is, but how do you find it for other rulers?


Does each void level have a specific blueprint?

I know that you have to find certain blueprints by going to void missions, but does each type of mission have a different weapon (ex. Exterminate 1 gave me a dakra blueprint, and if I do exterminate 1 again, it will give me a blueprint for another dakra part), or is it random what weapon you will get a bp for (next time I do exterminate 1 it will give me like seer parts or something)?

How can I identify a Mario Bros character (Big gray stone that falls)

I was looking for images of this and can't find because I'm lacking a term. I would like to know the name (or how would you would call) a character from (that I know of) from the old Mario's (NES and such). I'm talking about the big grey rock with a bad/mean face on it, that stood still until you were near and fell quickly. Do you know what I'm talking about? The normal google images searches you would expect to work are not giving me any good results. Thanks in advance! Please comment if the question is not clear enough or would like any clarifications.


+% life vs +% resistance

This is regarding the invigorate and Impunity runes of Barbarian's warcry. In short, impunity gives +50% to resistance, while invigorate gives +10% life (+ some regeneration). Many people come to rely on this EHP (Effective Health Pool) calculator to compare the effect of these two runes. According to this calculator, impunity is the clear winner. However, I started doing some calculations myself from the information and links taken from [this question], specifically the Diablo III formula list. Here is the effective health fomula:               Effective Health = Health Pool * Total Damage Reduction,     i.e. Health * (1 - ((1 - DR from Armor) × (1 - DR from Resistance) × (1 - other DR)))          DR means "damage reduction"      Let's simplify the formula:               A = DR from Armor (for example 75%, but we are not using numbers)     R = DR from Resistance (for example 66%, but we are not using numbers)     O = DR from Other      For the sake of this example, let's say "DR from Other" is zero. This means that only health, armor and resistance is being taken into account. So the effective health becomes:               x = Effective Health = Health * (1 - ((1 - A) × (1 - R)))                          = Health * (A + R - AR)      Also, this is how damage reduction from resistance is calculated:               Elemental damage reduction = Resistance / (5 × Monster Level + Resistance)      Due to the hyperbolic shape of the resistance formula, +50% in the Resistance when converted to damage reduction doesn't increase as the resistance goes up, but actually the increase in damage reduction decreases. For example with monster level 63 (taken from this answer):               Resistance = 600 --> Reduction = 65.6%     + 50% = 900 --> Reduction = 74.1% (which is 65.6% + 8.5%)     Resistance = 1200 --> Reduction = 79.2%     + 50% = 1800 --> Reduction = 85.1% (which is 79.2% + 5.9% (less increase))      This means that while invigorate adds 10% to health, impunity adds a smaller value to the damage reduction. This means that in the formula for effective health, invigorate replaces `Health` by `1.1 * Health` while impunity replaces `R` by `(R + y)` where `y` is the increase in damage reduction (in the two examples above, `8.5%` `5.9%` respectively).   1. Adding 10% to Health:              Invigorate Health = (1.1 * Health) * (A + R - AR)                       = 1.1 * (Health * (A + R - AR))                       = 110% x      which means 10% increase in health is equal to 10% increase in effective health.   2. Adding `y` to the value of reduction from resistance:              Impunity Health = Health * (1 - (1 - A) × (1 - (R + y)))                     = Health * (1 - (1 - A) * (1 - R - y))                     = Health * (1 - (1 - R - y - A + AR + yA))                     = Health * (A + R - AR + y (1 - A))                     = x + y * Health * (1 - A)      So with invigorate, you get `10% * x` bonus, while with impunity you get `y * Health * (1 - A)`. To get an idea which one is better, let's put numbers from my build in to see which is worth what. My base life is 50k. Resistances are at 56% reduction. Armor is at 78% reduction. 50% increase in my resistance gives about 65% reduction. This means `y` is 9%. Bonus from invigorate:               10% x = 10% * Health * (A + R - AR)           = 0.1 * 50k * (0.75 + 0.56 - 0.75 * 0.56)           = 0.089 * 50k      Bonus from impunity:               y * Health * (1 - A)           = 0.09 * 50k * (1 - 0.75)           = 0.0225 * 50k      As you can see, the bonus from impunity is about one fourth of that of invigorate. **My question** is then, in what way is impunity superior to invigorate? How does the other calculator calculate effective health that the numbers are different?


How do I reverse the activation of Pistons with redstone automatically?

So basically, I want to make a hidden Piston door using Redstone that opens and shuts when I pull a lever. As you can see, the door consists out of 14 sticky Pistons in total : 2 for the stairs, 4 in the middle to pull back and push out the stone in/outwards, and 4 on each side to pull back and push out the pistons with the stone. I'm going to call them S(Stairs), M(Middle), L(Left) and R(Right). I have ways and means to power each of those groups individually and with repeaters I can change when they activate. For opening and closing the door, I'm using levers on both sides of the door combined with and XOR gate underground, so that the door will close/open no matter what lever I use or in what state the other lever is. The basic order here is: When the door opens, M pulls the stone blocks back, after that L and R pull these pistons with the stone in the wall. When it closes, the order is reversed: L and R push M out, M then pushes the stone blocks. S here doesnt matter, since it doesn't interfere with the others. **The problem here is : How do I REVERSE the order of activation for the components L, R and M for when it closes and shuts? So Opening : M, L+R | Closing : L+R, M**   Or: Do you know a different way to make this work? Because of the way the door works, simply executing the same order will break the door : M won't retract at the right time and will simply stay in the 'closed' position and will retract and extend, but not be moved by L and R. Sorry for the length of this and thanks in advance.


What is the easiest way to 'Goose' in Titanfall

In Titanfall there is a challenge and an achievement: > **Gooser** Shoot X pilots while they are ejecting Ejecting pilots are very quick, often cloaked, at medium to long range and always at full health (taking multiple shots with most weapons). For some players this is easy, twitch reflexes or pure skill make it easy, but many players find it extremely hard - getting even one 'Goose' is a huge challenge. Is there any tactic, weapon or strategy that can make this easier?


How do you get "I Killed Them All" in Titanfall?

In Titanfall there is an achievement: > **I Killed Them All** > > Killed all pilots during the evacuation single-handedly This seems almost impossible:   * None of your team mates can get any of the other team.   * All of the other team need to run for the evac ship (or at lease all be close together any on the far end of the map are unlikely to get taken out by the same person).   * None (or only 1) of the other team can be in titans (getting even one down can take the whole evac time).   * Nobody rage quits? I'm not certain on this, but I think disconnects can't count as your kill. This seems to be a perfect storm that almost never happens - it seems harder the longer the game is out as the reward for a successful evac is less than most players will get for getting on with some challenges on the far side of the map. Any ways to get this achievement (without boosting)?


How do I transfer exactly as many credits as I want to a factory in X: Beyond the Frontier?

In X: Beyond the Frontier (note: the original, not X-Tension) the player has to provide an initial amount of credits for each factory that they acquire, so that it will be able to buy the resources that it needs. That is accomplished via the trading screen, where the player transfers credits from their ship to their factory. The player uses the left and right arrow keys to transfer credits back and forth. The problem is that the amount of money transferred with each key press seems to be dependent on the amount of money present on the ship. As a result, when you have a lot of money (e.g. 1,500,000) the "step" increases accordingly. Is there a way to transfer funds in a more fine-grained way?


PlotMe Bukkit plugin causes player invincibility

Today, I set up a server where players can create MobArenas in PlotMe plots, then I can set them up for usage. I got everything working fine, except for one thing. Players cannot take damage from arrows or mobs. For instance, Zombies can hug players and skeletons can shoot them and the player will never take damage, hear the damage sound, turn red, etc. Arrows don't even touch the player. They simply bounce off. After disabling one plugin after another, I have determined that cause is PlotMe. The problem is, I cannot find a config option to disable this player invincibility. Sadly, PlotMe is integral to my server, so I cannot go without it. How can I cause players to register damage? Note: Fall damage seems to work, but that is all I've found to. Here is my PlotMe config:               worlds:       plotworld:         PlotAutoLimit: 1000         PathWidth: 7         PlotSize: 20         BottomBlockId: '7'         WallBlockId: '44'         PlotFloorBlockId: '2'         PlotFillingBlockId: '3'         RoadMainBlockId: '5'         RoadStripeBlockId: '5:2'         RoadHeight: 64         DaysToExpiration: 7         ProtectedBlocks:         - 54         - 61         - 62         - 120         - 94         - 93         - 84         - 25         - 355         - 118         - 117         - 138         - 140         - 145         - 23         - 158         - 154         PreventedItems:         - '351:15'         - '259'         - '328'         - '343'         - '342'         - '408'         - '333'         ProtectedWallBlockId: '44:4'         ForSaleWallBlockId: '44:1'         AuctionWallBlockId: '44:1'         AutoLinkPlots: true         DisableExplosion: true         DisableIgnition: true         economy:           UseEconomy: false           CanPutOnSale: false           CanSellToBank: false           RefundClaimPriceOnReset: false           RefundClaimPriceOnSetOwner: false           ClaimPrice: 0.0           ClearPrice: 0.0           AddPlayerPrice: 0.0           DenyPlayerPrice: 0.0           RemovePlayerPrice: 0.0           UndenyPlayerPrice: 0.0           PlotHomePrice: 0.0           CanCustomizeSellPrice: false           SellToPlayerPrice: 0.0           SellToBankPrice: 0.0           BuyFromBankPrice: 0.0           AddCommentPrice: 0.0           BiomeChangePrice: 0.0           ProtectPrice: 0.0           DisposePrice: 0.0     usemySQL: false     mySQLconn: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/minecraft     mySQLuname: root     mySQLpass: password     globalUseEconomy: false     AdvancedLogging: false     Language: english     allowWorldTeleport: true     defaultWEAnywhere: false     auto-update: false     allowToDeny: true

I've got Supplies. Now what?

Having just arrived at Hoth, with my Imperial Agent, I checked in with the ranking officer of the Salvage operations on site at the base. He informed me that his superior is out in the field and can't be reached on standard communications channels, but that if I'd like to be a suicidal maniac and brave Republic Commandos and the frigid winds of Hoth, well, I'm more than welcome to. _Naturally_ , I pulled rank and demanded that he provide me with all the supplies and provisions that he could afford to for my mission, it being of utmost importance. I got these. The item is in my bags as a standard item, not a Mission Item. The tooltip claims they are an 'optional Quest Reward'. I cannot click or use them in any way. TORhead, et al come up with nothing, but the databases are woefully imperfect at the moment. They sell to a vendor for 0 credits. **What are these Supplies for? How do I use them? Barring that, how can I get rid of them productively?**

Why are some things invisible?

I've been playing Skyrim since it was released, and I've had a problem where certain graphical features are invisible to me. As far as I can tell, its a certain type of shader or particle effect that must be faulty, as its not whole entities that are hidden. Example missing effects:   * The sky-ward light beams at Winterhold College   * Fire/Ice streaming magic      * Fireplaces - all I see is a shimmer (like what happens on a hot day IRL)     * Streaming fire magic ("Flames" spell), all I see is some of the flicks of flame off my hands and the resulting burn-mark on the target, but no actual flames     * From dragons; the breath of both fire and ice breathing dragons is invisible to me - makes fights difficult   * Portals (like what summoned creatures come out of) are just a shimmer or extra light, otherwise invisible   * Augur of Dunlain is completely invisible (the final straw) My hardware:   * AMD Phenom X4 2.4GHz   * 8GB DDR2-800 RAM   * Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 (built-in dual-GPU CrossFire)   * 2x Samsung 2443bw 24" LCD monitors @ 1920x1200 (disabling one hasn't changed anything in Skyrim) I'm thinking its something that my dual-GPU card is doing wrong, as Skyrim has been CrossFire disabled by ATI in their driver set (except for HD 5000, 6000 and 7000 series cards)... However I've tried every tweak possible in RadeonPRO to no avail (I've otherwise never used RadeonPRO). My friends have experienced it temporarily when Alt-Tabbing, but Alt-Tabbing again usually fixes it - no solution for me. **Has anyone experienced something similar and been able to fix it?**


Differences between Dungeon Defenders and Eternity

Eternity runs on playverse's > secure dedicated servers, so other Defenders can’t cheat their way to the > top.   >  **Rebalanced & Retooled** - Our young heroes have an entirely _redesigned > loot system_ that fixes major issues from the original, giving them a fairer > fight against the Old Ones’ rebalanced army!   >  **Cross Platform Play** - Take your heroes with you on the go and defend > Etheria at anytime, from anywhere, with anyone! Download the Android version > for Nvidia Tegra first, then stay tuned for an expanded launch on more > Android devices, iPhones, and iPads later this year! Does the new game include all the maps from the original? What about DLC maps, characters, items, etc.? What are the 4 new maps? What does it mean when talking about rebalanced loot system?


How can I get the Sims DLC from Steam to work with the Origin version of the base games?

Looking in the Steam store, the Sims DLC packs have a little banner similar to this: > Requires the base game The Sims™ 3 on Steam in order to play. My girlfriend has Sims 3 and Sims Medieval through Origin, and was hoping to get the DLC through Steam to take advantage of their sales. Is there any way to get the Steam DLC to work with the Origin base games? I would assume the files are mostly the same and some combination of file copies, editing, and registry changes would work, but I'd like to find out for sure. **Edit:** I'm still interested in the answer even if I'd need the Steam base game in order to buy the DLC. I'm also interested in the reverse -- can DLC from Origin be used with the Steam base game?

Is it possible to play a Games for Windows Live game and use Xbox Live at the same time?

I bought Dawn of War 2 for the PC I ran into a problem: When I play DoW2 it logs me into my Games for Windows/Xbox "Live" account, the same I use for my Xbox. This is normally just fine, but my wife really enjoys using Netflix Streaming on the Xbox. So when she fires up the Xbox when I'm in the middle of a DoW2 match, I'm booted out. The same happens to Netflix if I boot up DoW2. I've attempted to explain the issue to both Microsoft support (no answer) and Relic (didn't understand my question). Does anyone know a solution to this, other than using a different Live account for one or the other (need Live Gold to use Netflix, I'm not paying for two, and want same live account to keep achievements in the same spot)?

Why won't Minsc join my party?

Whenever I first met Minsc in the town that he stands around in, all he said was that he didn't like the look of me. Every attempt to reengage him in conversation fails, and I never get the option to have him join my party. It's been a while since I've played this game originally, but I remember being able to team up with Minsc to save Dynaheir from the Gnoll Fortress. Thinking it would help, I went ahead and left for the fortress without Minsc, rescued Dynaheir, she joined my party, and I went back to try talking to Minsc again. He still ignores me even though Dynaheir is in my party! I don't have any evil characters in my party. The other members are Jaheira, Kaleid, and Imoen. How do I get him to join up with me?

Can I copy an Xbox Live profile from one USB stick to another and then use each copy on a separate console?

I have two Xbox 360s (work and home), each of which I want to use on Xbox Live using the same profile. I will not ever have both connected at the same time. I am aware I can _move_ my profile from the console that currently stores it, on to _one_ USB stick, but this is inconvenient to me as I don't want to have to take it with me every day. I also know I can recover my profile to the console that doesn't currently have it, but this takes longer than I want it to. If I'm able to copy my profile from one USB stick to another, such that it technically exists in two places, I can have one stick permanently plugged in to each console, since I presume the Xbox Live servers won't know that they're different pieces of hardware (I don't even think USB sticks can be uniquely identified). My question is: is there a way to _copy_ (not move) the profile from one USB stick to another? I know it can't be done from the 360 dashboard, is there a way to do it using a PC? Would a straight 'clone' of the stick work? And if so, how might I do that?

Where/how do I get a gun that uses alien ammo?

I am level fifty in Fallout 3. I was walking around the outside of Megaton when I saw this weird glow stick looking green item on the ground.

However, there are no alien guns that I have found within the over 400 hours of total game play that I have. I keep looking for a gun with no results. Do I have to have the DLC to get any of this technology, or are they just really rare drops?

What is a good strategy for finding and rerolling charms?

In all my time playing Diablo 2, I've found few very good charms (excluding the uniques). The market seems to be flooded with incredibly good charms - +1 to class skill tree, resistances, life, magic find, you name it.

When to max Essence Flux(W) over Mystic Shot(Q) on Ezreal?

Most Ezreal guides I've read recommend maxing Mystic Shot(Q) first but recently I see a lot of progamers and high ELO players max his Essence Flux(W) first after getting the token point in Mystic Shot(Q) and Arcane Shift(E). However, I still see other high end players max Mystic Shot(Q) first, too. After checking up on the exact values of the skills I see Essence Flux(W) having better scaling base damage at a higher Mana cost as well as having the advantage of the attack speed buff/debuff scaling with level. His Mystic Shot(Q) gets a shorter cooldown at the cost of higher mana cost with lower damage increase than Essence Flux(W). Is it always better to max Essence Flux(W) first or does it depend on specific situations in which it is better to max one over the other? Note: I only mean AD Ezreal, not AP Ezreal and with a build like Boots->Phage->Sheen->Trinity


Why can I connect to my server using an internal IP and localhost, but not when I use my external IP?

I have made a Feed The Beast Ultimate server for a couple of friends. When I try to connect to it, it says `connection refused:connect`, which, according to this post mans that there is no server online, or my router is not port forwarded properly. However, none of these apply. My router _is_ port- forwarded correctly, and it's not a firewall problem either (I tested by disabling Windows Firewall for a couple minutes and failed to log in). I **can** connect by using my internal IP and `localhost` _on the same computer_. I have not tested if the internal IP works on a different computer on the same network. So, given the above information, what could be the problem? Did I forget something? Port-Fowarding Setup ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/vCe4E.jpg)

Is it better to stick with the lower tier units and upgrade armor/weapons or do it the other way (first level up units, then armor/weapons)? Any other suggestions on how to win?


What are the 3D Analyse settings for Sands of Time?

I want to play PoP Sands of Time but when it starts it shows a box saying "video card not supported". I have used 3D Analyse to play many games which I could not play before but I am still not able to play Sands of Time with it. Does anyone know the 3D Analyze settings needed to play it?


How does everyone make time for gaming these days?

I recently just started playing FFXIV, but I only play maybe three or four days a month. :( I'd also like to add that I want to play a wider variety of games, but I only have time to play one at a time, and so I only get a new game maybe every six to nine months. I have a lot of responsibilities, but I want time to play some games. How do you all make time?


Is Plain Sight dead?

I can't access the official site, while playing a Steam version there are some servers, but they are all empty (just bots), and seem to be autocreated by someone? Or is the site problem temporary, and the company that created the game still supports it? (I don't know if the question matches the site's theme, but perhaps it would be good to state that the game is dead, for future reference)


Which characters have playable routes?

Which of the characters that you interact with in _Katawa Shoujo_ have playable routes?


What's the best way to get grass onto a dirt platform?

I am making some more Biospheres, and need to get grass onto a raised dirt platform. For my previous pair, I created a dirt bridge from a nearby hill that was at the same level, but it took an _age_ to get across. Is there a better way? ![Dirt Platform](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NelGn.png) ### edit I should have said, no hacks! I know it's trivial to hack in a grass block!


Sultan's Zoo Secret Passage

I'm playing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time right now and I'm at the level called "The Sultan's Zoo". If anyone remembers, in the area where you fight those first birds, there's rectangular hole in the ground. The hole/ slot is right in front of the gate you came through (or over, actually) and has two torches pinned to the wall above it. If you go near it, the prince says "I wonder what this this for..." -- I haven't been able to figure it out, does anyone know what that slot is for?


Why are my characters not available for the Witch Hunt DLC?

I have two characters that have finished the game, one of which I romanced with Morrigan during the game. That is the character I want to do the DLC with in case the story is different with a character that romanced with her, but he is greyed out (as is the other character I finished the original game with). I haven't done any of the other DLC with these characters. Do I have to do other DLC with those characters before I can do Witch Hunt? Why are these characters not usable with Witch Hunt?


Why can't I buy adept+ level spells?

Am I bugged? I'm a level 32 with conjuring at 100. I did the master quest that lets me buy permanent summons, but he will not sell me any adept or expert spells? I am having the same problem with all other schools of magic even though they are all 65+. I can't tell you how much it sucks running with perm thralls, while shooting out fire bolts!


Why am I encountering major lag in Q.U.B.E?

In Q.U.B.E (steam game), I can make it all the way up to the first few laser puzzles with no issues, but then my FPS will suddenly drop to 10-20. My PC specs are as follows:   * AMD Phenom II 3.4Ghz Quad   * Sapphire Radeon HD 6870   * 8GB G.Skill DDR3   * 1TB Seagate Barracuda I will normally get 60+ FPS up until said point. This is a major issue for me as I am trying to record a let's play of the game, and I cannot progress if my FPS is so horrible! **Note:** The FPS is horrible even if I'm not recording.


What are these strange red and blue squares?

At floor 7 of Dungeons of Dredmor I found these strange red and blue squares. How can I interacet with them and what should I expect? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MjM3H.jpg) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eAnlj.jpg)


How do these streamers toggle between game and justin.tv so easily?

I see all these streamers (e.g. EGIdrA, FXOShelth, etc) switching out of SC2 and onto their music player or justin.tv channel with little to no delay. When using alt+tab there's quite a few delayed seconds before I'm able to interact with the new focus in any way. Is it some windows 7 shortcut, or some fancy keyboard with a binded button to desktop?


Wii extended range sensor bar

My gaming room is just a bit too big. At the far end, where most of my couch space is, the Wii is on the limit of it's detection range, skipping from one frame to the next. I have heard there are devices on the market that can extend the range of the Wii sensors somewhat, but a search on Amazon has lead me to a million entries, impossible to tell one from the next. I should say, I don't want a wireless solution, I just as soon would keep my batteries, thank you very much. So, two questions   1. Do these special bars actually work?   2. What is the best way to actually find one?


What exactly does 'Protection' enchantment do?

Does it protect from falling? Fire? Explosions? Suffocation? How much damage does it absorb per enchantment level? The Wiki says enough about other enchantments but for the 'Protection' enchantment it is somewhat vague: > Converts environmental damage to armor damage And what happens if multiple armor pieces have this enchantment?


Does Scoundrel give a bonus to gold find?

Basically what the title says. I think he at one point told me that if I want more gold I should bring him next time. So was wondering if he actually has a passive bonus to dropped gold (not counting the 20% from possible gear) or was it just a random remark? Not sure if this is a duplicate, there are a lot of follower questions and couldn't find one similar to this.


What defines the boundaries of a city?

I'm wondering what defines part of a city. I am playing as Russia and I have 6 cities in two groups (there is only one tile separating the two, but it never wants to expand there). I have a great merchant and I want to build a customs house on a river. however I think that this river is between 4 different cities. The real question is, what cities do I receive benefits from? If one city has every building possible (bank, market, stock exchange) and the other one is a brand new one (but still connected) which do I receive the bonuses from? Do I get bonuses from both? Does it gain bonuses from ALL connected cities? Or does it only gain bonuses from the city whose citizens work it? Suppose it's equidistant from both cities; what would happen then?


Avoiding spawn kills in team deathmatch?

Pretty much a yes/no question. Is there a way to keep from getting killed the instant you spawn in the game. No so much the problem with rush or conquest, just the darn, pesky death match games. Yes, the spawn points are supposed to be random, but it could just be the nature of the game, or trolls, that make the experience what it is.


In a party with more than one monk, how do mantras work together?

Monk Mantra descriptions say " _Only one Mantra can be active at a single time_ ". But if we build a party with more than one monk:   * Is it possible get the effect of more Mantras?    * If two monks use the same Mantra, do their effects stack?   * If two monks use the same mantra with different strengths, does the strongest one always take precedence?   * Does the 3-second on-cast effect of the same Mantras stack?   * Do rune-effects of same-mantas stack?


What's the weapon in the co-op missions Drop 'em like liquid and Exfiltration?

What's the weapon in the co-op missions "Drop 'em like liquid" and "Exfiltration" of Battlefield 3? Can it be unlocked and used in multiplayer mode? As far as I can recall, it's a powerful automatic marksman rifle with magnified night-vision sights. The only IRNV sights that I can find as unlocks for multiplayer are those of the MK 11 MOD 0 and SVD rifles, but are not magnified. Also, these rifles are semi-auto. Any ideas? Thanks.


WWE '13 Universe Draft Mode

I'm currently playing through the WWE 2013 Universe Mode for the XBOX 360. Draft Mode is enabled and I just played through one-year of playthrough for the "season" but haven't been presented with any sort of "Draft Day" or similar activities. How do you start the Draft mode?


What's the deal with fruit juice?

Fruit juice seems to be a pretty worthless item on itself:   * For its intended purpose, it conveys a very low amount of nutrition and also a very low nutrition per weight ratio (it is 0.5, 1 or 1.5 depending on BUC status). Any food or corpse has a better ratio.   * There are only two Alchemical recipes that require fruit juice.      * The _potion of see invisible_ can be made once, then blessed, to give the permanent intrinsic.     * The _potion of booze_ has a single desirable effect (confusion), and it offers the same nutrition values that fruit juice does.        * Also, both booze and fruit juice don't break foodless conduct.   * Throwing it doesn't appear to have an effect.   * Diluting the juice into water seems to be the best use for it. However, it isn't the purpose of the potion. Are there any other uses (preferably practical) for fruit juice?


Does the Scavenger perk give you extra grenades?

In Modern Warfare 3, does the Scavenger perk give you grenades from dead players? I was wondering if it did for those players who haven't used their grenades. I assume when you scavenge, you get only ammo that the dead player did not use.

Multiversenp not working

I have installed MultiverseNetherPortals recently. I have linked my main world to my nether world. I also have a separate world for Building. But whenever I leave the nether it sends me to my flatland world that no one should be in. Can I link the nether to my main world?


What will happen if you build cities more than the built-in names

Just an imaginary case, what if you have built enough cities (say, 40), which probably exceeds the number of the built-in city list of that civilization?


Reapers, Combat Drugs, and Medivacs

The Terran unit "Reaper" has the ability to quickly heal when out of combat (when not fired upon or firing). It's a great opening unit, both for scouting and for picking off workers for you to get ahead, even forcing unit production. It's also a great unit later on, for the same purposes as mentioned above. But if I would like to drop reapers in the back of an enemy base to do some worker killing and quickly pick them up and fly to another base, so my question is: **Will the Reaper´s Combat Drug work when inside the medivac?** Is Reaper "out of combat" inside the Medivac?


Mass Effect 2 savegame - Can I see which decisions I made?

Before playing ME3 I'm going through ME2 again. I'm playing as renegade Shepard since I already have a ME2 savegame with a paragon playthrough. Now, on Legion's loyalty mission, I have to decide if I want to rewrite or destroy the heretics. Problem is, I'm not sure what option I chose as paragon and as renegade I want make the opposite choice (just to see how that affects me in ME3). Long story short, is there a way to determine which decision I made during my old playthrough? I tried a modified version of Gibbed's save editor but can't see anything related to Geth/heretics (only if the crew survived, if the Colletor base was destroyed etc.).


Is it possible to own more than 10 cars in Grand Theft Auto online?

As the title says - is it possible to own more than 10 cars in Grand Theft Auto online? The largest garage you can currently buy holds 10 cars, and you can only own one garage at a time. What happens if you buy more than 10 cars? Are they still accessible (via your Mechanic)? I'm only interested in non-exploit methods for owning more than 10 cars as I don't want any of my vehicles disappearing when the exploit is fixed.


Do creepers make a sound when moving?

You're in a cavern. It's dark. But your ears work fine, so you know you're safe. All mobs make noise, right? Zombies moan, Spiders squeak, Skeletons' Bones tinkle, Slimes splat, Endermen... make... Ender... Noises? Except... for the dreaded CREEPER, who makes no noise until it's TOO LATE! But... Do creepers make noise when they walk? No, seriously. Do they? I'm in a cavern and I'm hearing something else taking steps, however I'm not hearing any other noises associated with mobs. Is this a Creeper creeping around somewhere?


Cleanse vs. Quicksilver Sash

I am not overly familiar with either this spell or item, but was curious as to which is more effective: quicksilver sash or cleanse. Do they remove the same things? Also, is it possible to cleanse out of an ignite?


How to fix Freelancer not connecting to a localhost server?

When running a Freelancer server and client on the same machine, the attempt of trying to connect results in a "takes longer than usual"-ish message that never vanishes. Firewall settings are fine and I also tried launching both server and client in compatibility modes to no avail.


What to do when I can't find sheep?

I am currently playing Minecraft 1.1 and I can't find any sheep! I know that there are sheep in this world because I have seen the same world in videos with sheep. Does anyone have any tips or ideas on what I should do? I simply **can't** find any sheep at all!


Where can I find high-level Corki VOD's?

I'd like to watch some standard high-level Corki gameplay, as he's my preferred character. I've never seen him used, though, in the dozen or so professional games that I've watched. Could someone link to a specific VOD of a tournament game where Corki is chosen? Preferably the Corki plays an important role in a close game, so that his skill and item build is highlighted, but isn't so dominant that the game isn't a completely unrealistic expectation when I try to emulate his play.


How do I beat Firefly?

I've completed Arkham Origins, and am playing through New Game Plus. I'm at the Firefly fight on the bridge, and can't recall how to win. I'm at the point where he's basically defeated, and Batman says "I should grapple onto Firefly". I grapple on, and we fly around the bridge a bit. Batman falls off, and I grapple on again. We fly a little higher, and Firefly turns around and fries me with his flamethrower. I've tried dodging, countering, attacking, grappling, and just watching, but all end with me dying How do I avoid getting fried, and how do I defeat Firefly? I don't recall having this issue the first time through. Is this a New Game Plus addition, or is it just easier the first time through? Googling for the answer gives me things like this: > eventually when he is near death, he will light up the bridge with flames > and you will then need to use the grapple to grab Firefly and end the > battle. which doesn't explain what to do when he shoots me with a facefull of fire. This video was shared in chat, but doesn't quite address the issue. At about 9:30 in the video, Batman falls off of Firefly, and I have to grapple back on. A few seconds later, Firefly turns around and shoots a bunch of fire....Game Over.


Helgen - guide disappeared

Apparently I've spent too much time exploring the dungeon etc in Helgen Keep and my guy, the one who kept telling me to follow him, has vanished. How do I find him again?


How to minimize experience required by crafting items?

Crafting items in sequence requires you to spend experience. The more experience you spend, the more likely you are to succeed. However, the experience required grows very fast as the percentage chance approaches 95% (the maximum). Here's, e.g., the values for the super-expensive Half Prism at difficulty level 35:               Success%     XP  Success%     XP  Success%     XP  Success%     XP      ---------------  ---------------  ---------------  ---------------         0.1     289      10      474      40    1,170     89.3   7,499         1       299      15      574      50    1,505          2       318      20      678      60    1,966  I can't go any         3       337      25      787      70    2,684  higher for lack         5       376      30      904      80    4,050  of experience.      What's the best strategy then?

Stuck at "Kill aliens" in "All Hands On Deck"

While playing through The Kinzie Gambit's second half, All Hands on Deck, I get reproducibly stuck at the section where you board the enemy ship and are told to clear up a bunch of enemies (video). How can I deal with this?


When is the latest I can kill Mr. House?

Considering that I'm going the Wild Card: Change in Management path, when is the latest I can kill Mr. House? I've made sure to acquire and turn in all seven snow globes. Yes Man is waiting patiently outside The Tops for me. I still have the following quests open:   * How Little We Know   * Pressing Matters   * Oh My Papa   * Volare!   * I Put a Spell on You   * The Moon Comes Over the Tower   * Wild Card: Side Bets   * Wild Card: You and What Army?   * That Lucky Old Sun   * ED-E My Love At which point have I "made my choice?" I know it's not too late _right now_ to kill Mr. House. But if I finish any of the faction quests above, does it become so? I should note that I'm at least "liked" by most factions, the notable exceptions being the Powder Gangers and the Legion (I finished "Booted" _after_ getting the Mark of Caesar and the "Render Unto Caesar" quest -- thus I now have completed "Beware the Wrath of Caesar.") How much farther on the quest lines above is it safe to go before I finally get around to whacking Mr. House and taking control of The Strip? I want to maximize my gameplay this first run-through! (Because the 100+ hours I've invested already isn't enough!)


What are the voice commands for Xbox 360's Kinect?

I recently purchased Kinect, and was curious if there is a place to find all of the voice commands for the system? The manual doesn't really say a lot about the voice commands and I can't find a definative list of all the commands I can use. The Xbox prompts with some commands now and then, but it would be really nice to have an actual list of things I can tell it to do. Help?


Can I safely finish Volare if I plan on doing Change in Management?

The title pretty much says it all. On the one hand, the Boomers are freakin' nuts. On the other, I'm guessing that raising that bomber out of the lake and watching it rain fiery death over the Legion is going to be the ultimate "wow" moment. So... Is it safe to finish Volare if I plan on completing Wild Card: Change in Management and either ruling New Vegas or making it independent?


Are there any casting changes in Mass Effect 3?

Are there any voice actors who did not come back for the finale? Are there any new or notable talents who have joined the cast?


How do you get down the hill on the campaign level, SOG?

In Call of Duty: Black Ops, on the mission SOG (Vietnam), you come to a point where your orders are to push back the NVA down the hill. I've spent a lot of time slowly pushing down the hill but the enemies keep coming and on Veteran difficulty at some point I always end up dying. My squad mates pretty much stop at the first level down the hill providing no help. I'm sure a portion of it is skill, but there must be something I'm missing to trigger my squad mates to continue on down and move the level forward and stop the enemy from spawning. Any ideas?


Saving during a mission on w40k:DoW2?

I've bought this game a year ago or so and just now I had the time to play it. There is a problem, though. Is there a mod, a patch...even a virus...that allows me to save during a mission in the campaign mode? My necessity it's not to cheat or to restart a mission, it's just that sometimes I have to go out for some reason and I lost a mission just because I can't save. It's really annoying.


Can you play Battleblock Theater with local players and online players at the same time?

I and my friend loved playing Battleblock Theater on Xbox Live, and so it was pretty awesome when it turned out it was coming out on Steam soon after I no longer had access to the family Xbox 360 due to coming to college. So we both bought it and have had plenty of fun playing it, but we've run into problems with multiplayer. I play at college on the opposite side of the United States from him, so full local multiplayer isn't really an option. However he also has his wife and a good friend of his who want to play with him over where he is and although he has bought them the game, it's too much of a hassle for all of them to not only play on their computers in his house, but to also try moving them all into one of his rooms. In our time playing we've been trying to play with him and his friend and probably his wife too on his one PC with multiple controllers, while I connect via online mode with him hosting. Are we simply messing up somewhere or is this not even a possibility? I heard that there's no 4-player online story mode, but I've seen anyone talking about this, even for arena mode.


player.remove spell not working

I'm trying to delete the "highborn" powers from a High Elf character (don't ask why, it's for... reasons). I can delete the active 50point magicka boost with: "player.removespell 00105f16" but when I try to delete the regeneration power with: "player.removespell 000e40c8" the console tells me: "Spell 'Highborn' not found in player". Furthermore, I can't delete any spell like flames or healing. I just get "Spell 'whatever' not found in player". What's my problem?


How do I switch characters in combat?

Clicking on the other character shows "Not able to execute skill!". Clicking the end-turn icon in the top right forfeits my character's move.


Timbersaw's Whirling Death and Timber Chain interaction

I sometimes see Timbersaw doing Whirling Death right before Timber Chain started to move Timbersaw to a tree. How does this mechanic work? Does Whirling Death do damage in the area of the start point or in the entire path till the trees or even at the end too? This would maximize the AOE by a lot. I myself played a lot of Timbersaw but always play it safe (no fun allowed). That's why i never used both spells in conjunction (i was not sure if i was wasting the nuke because i dont get the mechanics). So can i increase the AOE by using Timber Chain with Whirling Death?


Does StatTrak™ track any stats other than kills?

I've recently acquired a shiny new high-tech weapon in _Counter-Strike: Global Offensive_ whose description includes the following: > This weapon features StatTrak™ technology, which tracks certain statistics > when held by its owner. And indeed, when I have the weapon equipped, or look at its description in my inventory, the number of "Confirmed Kills" I've achieved with it is displayed. ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xMEz9.jpg)![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/u7Er0.png) However, the description doesn't just say it tracks _kill_ , it says it tracks _"certain statistic **s** "_, plural. Do StatTrak™ actually track any statistics other than kills, or is the description misleading? If it does, where can these statistics be viewed?


How many Stones does it take to go all the way

Ever since Junior year of college, Geology has had a special place in my heart, so when I was recently faced with the following problem I felt a tug on the old heart strings: **How much Ore do I need to obtain 525 Jewel Crafting?** Unlike obtaining 525 Mining or Blacksmithing, this isn't a straight forward question. Not every 5 ore prospected yield the correct gems, not every gem cut gives you a skill up. So a proper answer to this question requires more than a single list, it requires... Maths. I want to know:   1. Minimum amount of ore required (easy)   2. Statistically Average amount of ore required (more difficult)   3. 90% percentile amount of ore required (FUN!) I consider an answer which provide numbers for all 3: correct.


Can I influence my Steam region?

There's an Unreal pack available on Steam – but not in my region (Germany) probably due to Germany's laws against graphical violence for minors. I had the idea to ask a friend in the USA to register an account for me, buy the game, then give me the password and I log in from my home. Will I be able to download games which have previously been bought with my account even if they're not offered for sale in the region that I'm currently in? (Might be a real disappointment to real Americans who come to Germany for a longer period ...)


Why is windowed mode always slower in games?

When I run games in Windows or Linux in Windowed mode, my frame-rates always seem to start chunking. Is this a general problem, the machines I'm using not being awesome enough, or or is it just the way modern game engines are designed?


Can I bind a key to a macro without applying it on an action button?

So far all I can do is to create a macro, place it on an action button, and make sure that this action bar has a key bound to it. But now I'm running out of action buttons. I would like to bind a key (or a key combination) to a macro without the need for an action button. Thanks.


Orange box on PS3?

I understand that you can install and play Orange Box games (HL2, HL2:E1, HL2:E2, Portal, TF2) on the PS3. However, when I go to http://store.steampowered.com/sub/469/, I don't see the PS3 listed. I'm afraid of buying the game, and then finding out I can't play it on the PS3. Does the PS3 have a version of Steam? Or can I buy on the PC and download it


How to see what all DLC I have in Max Payne 3?

Recently there was a deal in steam for Max Payne 3 and All its DLC. I purchased the game along with the DLC. Now whenever I try to redeem the code for DLC it always says > Redemption code already in use Now that could mean:   a. There is some issue with all the redemption code I got from steam.   b. By default steam have activated all DLC for me and I don't have to redeem any code. If it is `b` then how to see/confirm if I really have all DLC or not. ( and if it is `a` then what to do? ) **Edit @keavon**   Here is what I see in steam Max Payne 3 properties:   ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/b4C38.jpg) This says installed. That means all DLC already installed?


Why are my vassals revolting when I give them just one title?

I'm at holy war with some Muslim region, so I have focus all of my units there. Now there are a hell of a lot of revolts going on, one after another. I think it's because I control about 98% of the land titles. I have appointed some Barons, but that's all. If give a county title or a Duchy title to a another vassal, then after a few months, they declare war on me. The only title I can give with out taking a risk is baron title (or can they declare war on me?). Before I grant a land title, the character's opinion of me is 100, but after I grant them any kind of title, opinion becomes -100. I don't know why that is, that's another reason why I don't grant land titles. My crown authority is high but it was like that since the beginning. And because of this I think there are thieves guilds and stuff. What can I do about this problem? I'm playing as the Kingdom of England. For wars, I'm using mercenaries.


In Prison Architect, how do you set an area to be accessible only to staff

In Prison Architect, I heard that in Alpha 10 you can set an area to be staff only. How do I do that? Can it be used to prevent escapes?


How do orders work in the iFruit App for Los Santos Customs?

I have just ordered my first upgrades via the iFruit App to my **online** car. Roughly how long does this take to apply to my in-game content? Do I have to take money out of my bank to pay for this or will it be auto- withdrawn? Do these items automatically apply to my car or do I need to take the car to Los Santos Customs? (or do I need to reload?) It said that the order has been sent, but is there any record of this order in my iFruit App?


How do I set up command blocks to teleport the winning team?

Summary: I am making a mini game in Minecraft where you kill the other teams which you can select from either a wolf or ocelot (it's already tamed). Question: how can i set it up to teleport all the players and say the team that won. What I tried: I tried using /scoreboard objectives add leader_stat stat.killEntity.Ozelot. Then in another command block I typed /testfor @a[score=leader_stat=1] so when 1 kill happens it will activate but I can't add the two teams, then I get all lost.


During the Priority Mars mission do the waves ever end?

During the Priority Mars mission, after your transport docks you are attacked by an increasingly more armoured enemy force. I've shot my way through wave after wave of attackers, yet they never seem to end, then I run out of ammo and get my head handed to me. Do the waves ever end or is this a case of progress or die? I was able to pass the area by rushing the door but I'm concerned I may have bypassed an upgrade by not taking my time to explore.


What is a good benchmark for the cultural win strategy?

I am currently learning to play Civilization 5 and decided to experiment with the cultural victory strategy. I am going to play game after game with the same strategy, making minor adjustments to see what works and what does not. While it is nice to see which approaches work better than others, I could use some kind of benchmark from experienced players to compare my results to. I am looking for things like   * You should be able to win the game before the year X   * You should have at least a growth of X cultural points each turn in the year Y   * You should have built at least X cultural landmarks during the game   * You should get at least wonder X, Y and Z   * You should ... Those are just examples, maybe there are much more important KPIs in this strategy I am not even aware of. What values can I measure my attempts against? **UPDATE:** To avoid confusion what I am exactly looking for, I add a clarification from the comment section below. _I am looking for KPIs like "A experienced player can win a cultural victory before 1850 AD". If I cannot do it before 2000 AD, I know that there is a large gap I need to close. Or a KPI like "A experienced player can gain 200 culture points each round around 350 AD" tells me, that I am messing things up in the early game, if I can only gain 100 around 350 AD. I am not looking for instructions about what to do but how I can measure if what I am doing works._


How do you get out of a boat in Minecraft?

I mean without it shooting off away from you in some direction. Maybe I'm just missing something, but every time I right click to exit a boat it seems to shoot off out into the water. I'd like to hop out on to the land next to me and have the boat stay put. I know you can build elaborate docks with doors and such. But is there a way to just neatly get out of a boat without all that?


How to replay a League of Legends match?

I have seen some videos (on YouTube) of LoL games where the commentator analyze the match and he's able to move freely through the map. Are these video made from a streaming live game or are they made by replaying something saved locally on PC? How to save and replay a match?


Is there any way to do a 'New Game+'?

I beat Custom Robo a long, long time ago. Unfortunately, once you beat it, there's not much to do buy walk around the town battling the same people over and over again. Even worse, the game only has one save file. I'd like a way to start over again, but I really don't want to lose my parts, or my dioramas (which I spent a great deal of time on). If I start a new game, do I get to keep my stuff?


How many times can Karthus cast Lay Waste before casting Requiem after he dies?

Once Karthus dies, his passive allows him to cast spells for 7 seconds. I'm curious how many times I can cast Lay Waste while still leaving enough time to cast Requiem. Since his CDR affects this, assume any CDR between 0 and 40 (max).

Moga Pro Power's Latency on Samsung Galaxy S4

I just got Moga Pro Power for my Samsung Galaxy S4. I tried running Sonic CD, but the first few seconds, I noticed that the joystick got some short delay (roughly 0.25 seconds) and sometimes it does not register my button press. I tried the native touch interface, and there are no delay whatsoever and all touches are registered. I tried other games, and it seems same problems exist. Laggy input, and sometimes input is not registered. The worst is the official Moga Pivot app does not even register all of my D-Pad press. It's so laggy, as if I'm playing MMORPG with 56k modem. What can I do here to remedy this issue? PS. could someone tag this question for Galaxy S4 and Moga Pro Power?


How to change installation region

I have two starcraft accounts on different regions - one on NA server and another on EU. Right now I have the NA client installed, which means I can only log into the NA battle.net. What is the best solution for me to be able to play on my EU account? My only 2 options seem ridiculously heavy:   1. Uninstall / reinstall   2. Use a different computer (or dual boot or something; I assume virtual machine isn't going to work) I have read threads about people just swapping the `Core.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Data` file, but all references to that technique appear to be many months old, and I am wondering especially _how the pros do it_. I assume they must switch servers frequently, and they are probably also sensitive to Blizzard's ToS.


Did I lose my ship forever?

For nostalgic reasons I was playing the original Port Royale the other night when my convoy was attacked by pirates. Needless to say I dispatched of these black hearted scoundrels and in doing so captured one of their vessels. I then sailed to the nearest port to do some trading, where I took the captured ship (which I had rather badly damaged in my efforts to secure) out of the convoy and left it unassigned in the port (thinking I could repair it and come back for it later rather than limp with it across the ocean at risk of further attack. Unfortunately, I went to carry out the second part of that plan and was rather irritated to find that I can't find it! It doesn't display as a waiting convoy anywhere (in the list or on the map icon) and I can't remember which town I left it in! If I try to click towns from the map I can't view them as I don't have a convoy docked there so I don't really know how best to search for it (or if it was just immediately scuttled when I left it in port unattended). It's a long shot - but does anyone have any advice?

What determines which moves a Pokemon can learn?

I am wondering if you can tell by Pokemon types/egg group/looks if they have access to an specific move or if it is just a fixed move set for each one. For instance, does Electabuzz can learn fire/ice punch for any particular reason? Or is it just someone at gamefreak saying 'he can 'cause I said so'? Rattata's Flame Wheel always puzzles me....


Does paint change the value of a painted hat?

I currently have some "Indubitably Green" paint in my possession, and I'm trying to figure out which hat to paint. I have one hat that I am considering, that I want to keep and never trade away. Another hat I could see myself selling in the future. If I was to paint a hat, would it increase/decrease/not change the value of the hat? Ie. Is a Green War Pig worth more/less/same as a non-painted War Pig? Also,   Does this change in price apply to all hats?   Only certain, more rare hats?   Only the more common and easily obtainable hats?   Only certain colours of paint?


By giving coins to other civilization, would it improve relationships?

I have eliminated 6 empires and I am the most advance empire in the game and I am also the most powerful in the game. Everyones' status is HOSTILE. I'd like to improve everyone status. I usually give 500 coins (Since I'm also the most wealthiest) to bankrupt civilisations. Would this improve relationships? If not, how can I improve?


Are imperial levels worth building?

I'm trying to build my Tiny Death Star as fast as possible, and I check in on it a couple times each day. At first, I was building imperial levels to complete the missions, but the income from the missions seems pretty low compared to just building other floors. Is there ever an increase in rewards to more coins and/or missions that give bux?


When do blimps spawn, and how do I kill them?

I have a mission to kill a blimp, but I don't know how to make them appear. I've seen one once, but I don't know how to take it down. How do I find a blimp, and what are my options for sinking it?


Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY .NET Framework error

So I just installed Batman Arkham Asylum and I got this error at starting it: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Hsj9d.png) When I click Quit, It will just stop launching. When I click Continue, It will go to a small Batman window with 6 options which I cant see because it's pitch black. When I choose one of the options I get this: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9P1I3.png) What have I done wrong?


How do I get out of the Golden Claw room?

Can you only make an 'Investment' in one merchant total?

Ok, so with the Investor perk (Speech 70) you can make an investment in different merchants. I've found a lot of them in the game giving up the offer and I've invested in about 5 different merchants so far, however, only the first one that I invested in has ever actually had an increase in money. Can you only invest in ONE merchant? Has anybody else invested in multiple merchants? I know I can get the next perk up the chain to give everybody more gold overall but that isn't the issue. Just not sure if this is a bug or a 'feature' for the PS3?


How can I get rid of the mission voice-overs?

Since I read faster than the mission voice-overs can speak, I find my my eyes competing with my ears and end up getting annoyed as the game tries to read me my mission objectives. I see that I can decrease the "voice volume" via the General options pane, but I am worried that will also eliminate potentially helpful voice assistance in other places. Is there another way to block the mission voice-overs? If not, will I miss out on anything useful if I turn the voice volume down to minimum?
