What happened to my Gearbox?

So, I am playing Better Than Wolves mod for Minecraft and I have a very nicely redstoned up kiln/crucible with a pottery wheel to the side. And it all works great most of the time.. But one to two times during a lengthy play session a gearbox just goes missing. I do not use the pottery table often enough to have ever seen if the box is dropping/on fire/busted. Just when I go to turn the system on, it is gone. Here is a picture. The box would attach the two axles and sits over the redstone repeater: ![Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/upecT.png) And if you watch this video at the time frame selected below you will get a quick little tour of the general wiring and such around it (its lighting a 3x3 hibachi). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAaKIS3GFxw&feature=player_detailpage#t=1867s And then a little bit down the road (40:15 or so) you can see where I put in all the mechanical bits that will result in the connection in the screen shot above. I am at a loss, the best I can come up with is that for some reason the repeater knocks off the axle but I have checked with the guy in the video over and over flipping switches in random orders to see what might cause it with so far not being able to reproduce it on command.


How to calculate DPS of your pet?

Using arcane statistic panel I am able to understand with good precision how much DPS I do with my weapon, but how can I calculate the DPS of my pet? I didn't find anything in arcane panel and the damage shown on pet inventory seems not accurate, I am quite sure that attack speed does not influence that value. Is there something I can use to understand the real DPS of my pet?


Do Double Damage rune stack?

If I was able to bottle a rune of _Double Damage_ at around **1:55** and after I waited in the same rune spot, another Double Damage rune appears and I took it and use also the rune in my bottle, will it stack? Does my damage will become quadruple? It's hard to do this since I can hardly get a chance of having a DD rune appear consecutively.

What data does the PS3's backup utility preserve?

My PS3's Blu-Ray drive died yesterday, and I will probably just end up getting a new console. I plan on using the Data Transfer Utility as outlined in this question's answer to preserve all my data. However, I would also like to backup everything first using the Backup Utility just to be on the safe side. When I tried running the utility with a 4GB disk-on-key plugged in, it said I need around 14GB of additional storage. The only thing I really want to preserve are my save-files which probably take less than 20MB (I don't want to copy them one-by-one manually for fear of leaving something behind), so I was wondering just what it is that the backup utility is trying to back up other than save files. Assuming it's nothing I care about, I'll be able to delete it and proceed with the backup.

What unofficial power supplies work for the Atari Jaguar?

I just recently bought an Atari Jaguar on ebay, but it was sold as is because there was no cords that came with it.

How can I refight Faeryl in Archylte Steppe?

The Archylte Steppe Gate seems incapable of fully resetting all story related events. I reset it and get the initial hunter cutscene. Then the rest of the area acts as though I've defeated Faeryl even though i did a time reversal. Is there some trick to this? If not then this is a bug, as the time reset doesn't actually reset the story of the gate so much as it just gives you one old cutscene. I've heard that all of the game guides say it's possible to refight him, so this might be a bug or maybe there's some kind of "outside the box" trick to resetting Archylte?


What are the differences between GTX 650 and the GTX 650Ti?

How can I make my companion focus on healing another player?

So, I'm a Vanguard in the level 30s and a friend has just got the game and started playing. I've run through a few Flashpoints and Heroics with him for fun, and and to help him through until we're an equivalent enough level to team up and adventure together properly. Being tank spec'd, I can pretty much stroll through these areas taking only single-digit damage, letting him do a lot of the work while I just soak up the damage. Occasionally he'll take a stray hit from an AoE or catch an unwanted add before I can grab aggro, and as neither of us are healers I've brought Elara Dorne along for support but she insists on concentrating on healing my 1 or 2% damage and ignoring my friend's 40 or 50% damage most of the time. Short of manually targeting my friend and clicking Elara's healing abilities on the companion bar myself for each heal, is there any way I can get her to focus on him? Note _superficially similar to this previous question, except that I want them to heal someone else, not me:How can I force my companion to focus on healing instead of attacking enemies?_

I'm levelling up too quickly, what could be the cause?

The experience, E, required to achieve level n from level 0 is:               E = 3.5 * n * (n + 1)      That's the formulae I found on the wiki. So, If I replace N with 50 my answer for the amount of experience is **8925**. Well, every hostile mob in the game gives 5 experience upon death (also wiki sourced info). That being said, 8925 divided by 5 is 1785. Something can't be right, I've reached level 50 many times thus far, and there is no way I've killed that many mobs per level 50 obtained... What gives? _Edit:_ Ok, Now I'm 110% sure something is horribly wrong. When I checked at the time the comments were all made on this post my in game statistics recorded 2,160 Mob kills. I just checked again, out of curiosity and it now states I have 5,317 Mob Kills. Thats over 2,000 kills somehow gained pretty much overnight. Somethings seriously not right, is the statistics page bugged? _Second Edit:_ Ok apparently the statistics page will never be correct for me, partially because it changes if I play offline (which I do about 70% of the time) and mostly because it doesn't collect its data for each exclusive world individually. So short of manually counting each monster I kill I dont think this question will ever be answerable unless I completely delete all my statistics folders and create a single game for the sole purpose of figuring this out. If someone has any ideas other than that I'd love to hear them. _Third Edit:_ **_The bounty description is a lie_** , I am playing _Vanilla SSP_ not _SMP_.


How do I kill the second boss (Yelena Fedorova) in Deux Ex: Human Revolution?

How can I resolve a 3DS networking issue?

I can't seem to connect my pokemon x game to my network, even though I have tried using both my guest network and my secure network. **Both** of them are WPA secured (I believe, I can't check right now, but will as soon as possible), but I was able to connect and receive the Torchic promo gift on my pokemon y game. I **have** attempted using a 3DS that had been broken (only the lower half of the top screen, so I just replicated my actions to attempt to connect, and I could still see the error message), but that refused to connect also. _**Both_** 3DS can connect to the network and use the Internet browser, and streetpass works fine, the _only_ issue is connecting to the network in game. The error message goes along the lines of "error, could not connect to the network" (might have been "connection refused"). I have also tried using Internet to connect to GTS and the streetpass connection thing, but neither of those work on either game, on either 3ds, even though it used to on pokemon y. I am super confused over this, as the issue just popped up, seemingly overnight. I really want to claim the torchic ASAP, because the promo ends after December, and although that is a ways off, waiting until the end to fix this would pass up being able to own a valuable promo, who is super powerful besides. Does anybody know how to fix this? I am very sorry if I didn't make myself clear, or if I didn't supply enough information, but I can't access either my own router or either game right now, and I have no clue how to trouble shoot on a 3ds anyways. _If I need to collect more information, please comment what I need and I will get it as soon as I can._

Can I use a USB hub to connect extra flash drives?

I have been trying to us a USB hub to allow me to use multiple flash drives on my Xbox 360. I have read that you can only use up to 2 devices for up to 32gb of memory but that only confuses me more: 2 of my 6 ports seem to acknowledge any memory devices, even if there's only 1 plugged in. I was under the impression that you can use 2 devices for up to 32gb, yet, I'm currently, somehow, using 32gb of a 2TB hard drive in addition to a 16gb flash drive. How/why is it letting me go over 32GB? I've read that you can use a USB hub for the 360, but, I can't get this to work. It only acknowledges 1 of the flash drives plugged into the multi-tap. The reports I've seen are talking about using multiple memory sticks. Why am I having a different experience? -I have the latest Xbox model, the "slim" I believe it's called.

StarCraft2: Breakout vs Ghost of a Chance

On my 1st campaign pass I've chosen "Breakout" mission. Now I do that the 2nd time (to have everything done on Brutal) and want to choose "Ghost of a Chance".

If I do "Ghost of a Chance" now (actually, here I will destroy Tosh camp) will Tosh play in penultimate "Belly of the Beast" mission? Or this mission won't be allowed in this pass? Q2: What is influence which mission will I chose here on the further campaign? Thanks!

Does Guardian Angel prevent loss of stacks on Bloodthirster?

The tooltip for Guardian Angel (GA) says > **Passive** Unique: Revives your champion _upon death_ , restoring 750 > health and 375 mana. 5 minute cooldown. But as far as I neither Kill or Death counter are increased for the involved champions nor any gold is given to the "killer" when the passive of GA triggers. Since stacks on Stack-Items (e.g. Bloothirster) are lost upon death, I wonder if being revived from GA's effect counts as a death or not. The lol.wikia.com article on Death states it as `Ways to prevent death when reaching zero health` which confuses me even more.

Why do I have so many Doges?

I'm playing CK2 as a Merchant Republic, and somehow I've managed to create a second set of great houses. It is an Ironman game, so I can't go back to a previous save but I'd really like to get rid of the new set of houses. Do I have to murder a whole family (or would that just replace them as normal when you have five)? I think I did it by winning a crusade for Andalusia and then giving a republic to my heir. I think that may have resulted in another set of Merchant Republic houses spawning, but I'm not positive. Any advice on how to get rid of the extra houses or from now on is the competition for doge that much more competitive? I'm currently on patch 2.1.6 (TTXL). ![10 Great houses in a single republic](http://i.stack.imgur.com/JiCLB.jpg)

Starting a new campaign with basic weapons

I completed Resident Evil 6 on normal mode, all 4 chapters (pretty poorly, I might add) and am now going back through the game to achieve S rank on all chapters. When I went to start a new game it asked if I wanted to start a new game using previous weapons. Having pressed 'yes', I'm now on Leon's chapter 1 and only have the Wingshooter and knife.. I've also bought the infinite shotgun skill but have no shotgun to use it :( any ideas?


How do I solve the Riddler Challenges where the question marks are behind chain link fences?

There are a few Riddler challenges that involve hitting a question mark with your batarang while you're standing on a pressure plate (the question mark is unlit until you step on it). The problem is, there are a few that block off access to the question mark with a chain link fence once the pressure plate is activated. I've tried throwing a remote control batarang away, and then aiming it at the question mark and letting it fly on it's own, and then stepping on the pressure plate when it passes the fence, but most of these challenges involve more than one question mark. How do I solve these types of challenges?

Should I bother to look for specific damage affixes when searching the AH?

We already know from this question (and the various others that one links) that the DPS is calculated taking into account the different affixes like Increased Attack Speed, Critical Chance, and Critical Damage. When searching the action house, should I care to filter for one of those 3, or should I just order the list by highest DPS and only look at that (and other affixes that do not affect damage, like life steal)? Should I prioritise one of them, or are all the same in practical terms?

Is there a functional difference between black Family Edition and white classic Wii console?

I just bought a black, horizontal form factor Wii. According to this Wikipedia article, this model is called the Family Edition. According to this FAQ at Nintendo, the only functional difference between this model and the previous (vertical standing) one is the GameCube backward compatibility, and as a result, some Wii games/accessories are not compatible. Are there more functional differences, other than the GameCube compatibility I should be aware of? If I don't have legacy games, should I be concerned by this limitation (i.e., how much does the Wii ecosystem rely on that GameCube support in general)?


Vehicles in Watch Dogs

I am a guy who really likes driving around in sports cars when playing a sandbox game like GTA or Watch Dogs in this case but my driving skills are rather poor. My cars always break down and sometimes I just don't like the color or look in general. I think the last sandbox game I played was Saints Row 4 and there you really had some great modification options for all the vehicles. Now here in Watch Dogs I couldn't find anything so I have a few smaller questions:   * Can I repair a Car and if yes where?   * Can I modify Vehicles (Color/Performance etc.) and if Yes where?   * How can I unlock fancy cars? I've seen a limousine in the "Car on Demand" app but I haven't unlocked it yet since I couldn't find one. Also some of the other cars that appear on the bottom of the app.

How much of a disadvantage is the restriction on purple items in F2P?

I'm playing SWTOR mainly for the story and singleplayer content, I'm not really interested in most of the MMO aspects. As an F2P player there are several restrictions, one of them is that I can't equip purple items. My impression from reading about this restriction before playing the game was that it only comes into play in the later levels, and shouldn't hurt too much when playing the class storylines. But now I found my first purple item I can't equip at level 12, and I'm wondering how much of a disadvantage this restriction really is.   * Are the class storylines completeable for a new player without purple items?   * Does the lack of purple items put me at a significant disadvantage compared to a new subscription player of equal level (on non-endgame content)?

How does Five-Finger Discount work?

The ability description reads: > You can 'purchase' items from the store for as cheap as free. Don't let Brax > catch you at it though, or he'll send his Dread Collectors after you. The wiki agrees: > Five-Finger Discount allows you to steal an item from Brax's shop by > destroying the pedestal below it. Brax might notice you and turn hostile, > which more likely than not leads to Fun. OK... so how does this skill actually work? Is it just a random dice roll to see if Brax notices me or not? Or is there something specific I can do to assure success? What happens if I stand in a location which Brax cannot see ( _is_ there such a location in shops)?

First thing to learn when beginning League of Legends

So I just started out playing League of Legends. I've got a friend who plays and we started up a bot game so that I could learn the basic commands. It wasn't pretty. The bots basically slaughtered us. I eventually ended the match with 3 kills, 17 deaths, and two assists. My friend, of course, did better, but she couldn't tell me _what_ she was doing or why she was doing it. Which makes it hard to know what I need to be learning. The first thing a new Left 4 Dead player should try to learn is effective communication with teammates. The first thing a new TF2 player should try to learn is what situations each class excels in and which each class in vulnerable in. But League of Legends has cash management, character management, runes, item builds, not to mention tactics once on the field...it's hard to know where to start. **What's the first thing a new League of Legends player should try to learn?**

What is NAT rating and how do I improve it?

From what I've found, the following appears to reflect how NAT rating affects your multiplayer capabilities:   * OPEN - Can play & voice chat with anyone.   * MODERATE - May be unable to play or voice chat with STRICT.   * STRICT - Can only play & voice chat with OPEN. However, this does not give me a whole lot of clarity as to what exactly these ratings mean as a reflection on my home network or internet connection, nor what I can do to get my system into an OPEN status.

How to know if there is any iron ore on the map?

From reading the wiki, it seems that iron ores can be found in layers consisting of chalk. I've now mined out almost two complete layers of chalk, and found nothing but gems. Is it possible that my map doesn't have any iron ore, or am I misunderstanding how to find the ore? The first couple of layers consist of chalk, so that's where I'm digging. Unfortunately the strip mining makes the fortress quite ugly, as that's where I've got my workshops. The lower levels have mainly phyllite and schist.


Does Anivia's wall grant an assist?

I was surprised to note recently that I apparently got an assist as Anivia for doing nothing other than blocking an enemy champion with Ice Wall, but can't be 100% certain that I did not AA at all. There seems to be conflicting information on whether the wall does or doesn't grant assists when I look online, and most sources are outdated. So, what is the actual behavior of the wall and can it grant assists when that is the only contribution towards a champion kill?

How do I get into the area Ulukk's Hunger in Guild Wars 2?

I am trying to explore every area in Guild Wars 2 right now and one of the areas that I have not been able to get into is Ulukk's Hunger in Dredgehaunt Cliffs. Outside the "entrance" to the area, there are two Grawl City Guards and talking to them will yield a reply of "Our city is inside. I am sorry but we do not allow visitors." How do I get into their city?


City specialization

I've read from many different sources that I should be specializing my cities, however I'm unsure as to how exactly I should be doing this and my current "method" of specializing my cities doesn't seem to be working that well - I always find large generic mega-cities to be vastly more effective than any of my specialized cities. For example, I tend to find that cities with low population don't produce much of _anything_ unless I focus efforts on food (so that I have the population to work the surrounding tiles) and production (so that I can produce the buildings needed to specialize my city). Conversely, although I know that I should be trying to produce buildings that provide a percentage bonus (e.g. to production or research) in those cities that have high numbers in the first place, whenever I look at the economy screen I tend to find that cities with higher population produce more of everything, and so in my larger cities I end up building everything (as they have the excess production required to do so). The end result is that all of my cities look pretty much the same apart from size. How can I effectively specialize my cities?


Am I punished for playing with the game clock?

A time honored tradition is "time traveling" by scooting the game clock ahead in Animal Crossing to catch bugs/fish at certain times, make more bells, get rare items and all sorts of other things. However it's also sort of cheating, so I'm wondering if there are negative effects or other icky things to take note of before casting Haste. I have noticed that after moving the clock forward a few hours my character has started tripping like it's Smash Bros Brawl or something. I'm not wearing the King Tut's mask and I didn't get a fortune from the fortune teller (I've played for like 2 hours) so I'm wondering if that's connected. Are there negative effects to playing around with the game clock in New Leaf? If so, is there any way to sidestep/fix them? Also if it matters I altered the clock at the start menu of Animal Crossing, not the internal clock of my 3DS.


Are mosquito bites harmful or just annoying?

Mosquitoes seem to be especially prevalent around the river, where they like to fly up and bite me while I'm fishing. I get a dialogue pop-up that I was bitten and that it's itchy, but I've had several at this point, and so far, they don't seem to be as bad as bee stings (which you need medicine to treat). I was worried that they would potentially interrupt me while I was trying to reel in a fish, but the pop-up at least seems to come after the catch, so there's no _actual_ interruption. Are there any negative effects to mosquito bites, other than the (mildly) annoying popup? Is there any way to avoid getting bitten, or is this just something I'll have to deal with all summer?


What exactly is Shen? God or Man?

So we got to close it, once and for all. In a couple of conversations with Shen, a possibility is seen that he might be a Xiansai the god of thieves. And he just always dodges the clear answer. > Covetous Shen: You are looking at me in a very strange manner. > > Player: The spirits are confused. This is not something that happens. Some > think you a god; others, a man. Which are you? > > Covetous Shen: Ah, philosophy! Can a man not be both? Can I not live well, > and give generously, and live a perfectly holy life? > > Player: I do not know. Can you? > > Covetous Shen: Oh, definitely not. It's tremendously boring. I'd rather eat > too much and sleep late. So what is Shen? God or Man?


Balancing in World vs World

How does balancing work in World vs World? My friend keeps telling me that players are always " **Balanced** " in WvW and I keep telling him that with my gear as a level 59 thief, I'm not as effective as a level 80 thief - when we trade backstabs, I deal around 700 damage while the opponent thief backstabs for over 4000. Can someone explain to me how this works?


Can NPCs kill dragons? How to avoid it?

I realize that my question is a bit ambiguous, so let me clarify. I've been playing Skyrim for a while now, and I'm up to level sixteen. I just resumed the "Missing In Action Questline" and decided to find the Thalmor camp. I haven't explored the area and solitude much, except for finding a few places. I fast travelled to the Haafingar Stormcloak camp and decided to head up from there. It is important to note that by this point, I have completed the quest, "The Break of Dawn", so I've been to Meridia's statue and absorbed the "Elemental Fury" word of power from the wall. However, I did not kill the dragon in that area at that time. On arriving at the Haafingar camp, I noticed a dragon flying around and roaring. It didn't attack me, or appear as a red dot, but the Stormcloaks did prep their weapons and look to the sky. I moved on and decided to explore the area a bit more in the direction of the Thalmor prison. I found that the dragon turned up dead, it's body near Volskygge possibly killed by the bandits there. As I passed by it, I absorbed the dragon soul. I reloaded, and tried doing a few different things:   1. Travelling to Meridia's statue instead and trying to get the dragon there. This didn't work out well. The dragon flew off, so I waited. It didn't come back in about 10 hours. I moved on to attempt two.   2. I reloaded an old save, outside of the Whiterun stables, just before I fast travelled (I'd just finished the "In My Time of Need" quest and had to move away from Kematu and Saadia to fast travel). I fast travelled to the Stormcloak camp and attacked the dragon there. I couldn't land a hit on it, so I gave it up as a bad job and decided to go towards an unexplored town. I discovered Dragonsbridge. On the way back, I found the dead body of the dragon near an intersection in the road and absorbed its soul.   3. In between these, I reloaded many times, and explored around to find the dragon a lot. I had no different results. > IMPORTANT: > >   1. I've used console commands to delete the Gildergreen so that the > sapling that I planted didn't seem to sprout out of it.

I was also wondering if anyone had a fix for this problem. As of now, I'm waiting ten days for the location to respawn (24 hours, rinse, wash, repeat) for the dragon to respawn so I can actually kill the damn thing. UPDATE: I waited ten days, but that location did not respawn. I have cleared Meridia's dungeon, so it may be that I have to wait 30 days of in game time. I don't know. The dragon hasn't reappeared, and I'm no closer to killing the monster. So, in summation, my question is, can dragons be killed by NPCs and still give me a soul? I'm especially interested in whether anyone has seen the same problem as well and if there is a fix. So do let me know. Thanks!

Diablo III, I need to be at "X" level to drop this legendary item?

I would like to try to drop a Puzzle Ring which is a level 29 ring. I'm afraid of **Diablo III** levelling system and it's relative things 'cause I know that a player on level **20** only can drop equipment around **1** level down/up of the current player level, but happens the same for the legendary items? then that means I need to be at level **28** (as minimum) or at level **30** (as maximum) to drop my desired ring?. And please, I dont would like to ask two questions in the same post but someone could tell me where to drop that ring?.

How can I tell if I'm infected with zombie-virus?

In NMRiH, it is possible to become infected with zombie, but because there is no/little HUD (can't see health, can't see ammo remaining without ammo checking, no minimap), I have been infected in the past without realizing it, which is really a shame because even on full health, after a while you will simply drop dead (without phalanx pills). Is the slight "cracking" shader around the edges the way to tell, or is a certain attack the only way that zombies infect you?

Why is Umbra's damage 10 instead of 28?

I just reached level 20 as a sneaky destruction dark Elf and immediately decided to head to Clavicus Vile's shrine to obtain Umbra. From several sources I gather that Umbra's base damage is supposed to be 28, yet after getting the sword it only shows an attack damage of a measly 10 instead of the expected 28. This effectively makes it less than half as powerful as my other blade. What could be causing this and what, if anything, can be done to resolve this?

How can I tell Mercer Frey to kindly buzz off?

At a point in the Thieve's Guild questline, Mercer Frey accompanies you to a dungeon. He has no dialogue other than one unimportant option, so you cannot ask him to stop following you. After several tries, I decided that the dungeon included in the quest is too hard to clear, so I'd like to level up before continuing. However, since Mercer won't stop following me, he continues to screw up my play style (as a sneak Illusion-type character), alerting people of my presence by opening doors that I've closed, standing in line-of-sight, etc. He's very annoying. Without the aid of a mod, is there a console command or other way to tell him to buzz off while not breaking the quest when I chose to return to it?

What do noteblocks do?

I have been playing Minecraft for some time, and am pretty good with redstone. However, I was spamming the `Random Page` link on the Minecraft wiki and came across the Note Block page. Of course, the page was really complex and confusing, so I started playing with them in-game because I learn better with trial and error. Nevertheless, I thought that I should ask the community: **What do Note Blocks do and what can I use them for?**

Precisely how does Rammus's movespeed boost (powerball) work?

Rammus goes faster during Powerball. Unlike almost every other ability in the game, the tooltip for Powerball doesn't specify how much of a speed increase Rammus receives. Mobafire, Leaguecraft, and SoloMid don't appear to have specifics available, either. Does the ability in general increase your movement speed by a percentage, or a flat amount? Is there any credence to the hearsay I've encountered which indicates that powerball ignores the soft caps on movespeed?

Can I redeem my reputation with a faction?

Unfortunately, I'm vilified in the Legion, so I wasn't able to do any quests for them (except for the one given in Nipton ( _Cold, Cold Heart_ )). Sometimes when I look at reputation in my Pip-Boy some entries are gone and looking at the map I see Neutral standing with those factions, but as soon as I talk to an NPC the reputation is reverted to the original state (this may actually be a glitch in the game). Is there a way to finish Legion quests if they hate me? Furthermore - is it possible to finish side quests for both NCR and Ceasar's Legion if they hate each other so much?

Playing Die2Nite from Germany

Is it possible to register from another country via proxy, VPN etc. and then play afterwards directly from Germany? Or does it check the country every time? Would this be allowed according to their Terms of Service (I could not find them on the website)?


Can't get XBOX to recognize open nat

I've done a lot of google work to see if there is a solution to making my XBOX show up as an open nat. Still no luck. I have a Linksys WRT160N with v3.0.03 firmware. Here is what I have done so far:   1. Set XBOX to static IP   2. Turned on DMZ and added the xbox static IP, saved config   3. Turned off router, cable modem and xbox.   4. Brought everything on-line - Result = Moderate NAT   5. Went to single port forwarding and set up the following: 88 TCP/UDP 3074 TCP/UDP 8602 TCP/UDP 80 TCP/UDP   6. Turned off everything, etc - Result = Moderate NAT   7. Disabled single port forwarding and setup the following in port range 87-89 TCP/UDP 3073-3075 TCP/UDP 8601-8603 TCP/UDP 80 TCP/UDP   8. Turned off, rinse repeat - Result = Moderate NAT   9. Changed MTU to 1365 - No Change   10. Made sure uPNP is on - No Change Any Ideas??

Dizzyness playing first and third person games

I get dizzy and my head starts to hurt when playing games like: hellgate london SW: jedi knights series third person rpgs like Risen first person view in fallout 3 some first person shooters, I remember getting pretty far in many fps games but also getting dizzy, i think some first person shooters, like hl2 and doom3/2/1 causes dizzyness but not as much as the games i named above. I'm totally fine when playing Unreal tournament 2004, where i've logged several hundred hours on, as well as the mass effect and kotor series and the GTA series and Persona series. I'm also fine on games like prince of persia where the camera isn't flying around based on the movement of the avatar. I'm wondering if there's anything wrong with me? I'm pretty sure that it's the movement of the camera that's making me dizzy, in games that track the gait of the avatar, though I'm not sure on this. Apologizes about the ineloquence, I wonder if I should get my brain checked or something?

Most Effective Way(s) to Gain Levels in Dead Rising 2

What is the most effective way, considering time, to gain Prestige Points (PP) in Dead Rising 2? I played Dead Rising, and I loved it, but until I got near the top tier of levels, the game was just too hard for my style of play to allow me to make it very far. A general rule of thumb (backed up by PP per game hour estimates) of the general order of events is suggested. Is it more effective to keep as close to the storyline as possible? Or is it more effective to ditch the story and save as many survivors, and find as many in-game bonuses as possible? Any particular combo weapons that are easy to get at the start of the game that seem very time effective? The Drill Bucket is undoubtedly faster than the Spiked Bat, and I have yet to find any other high PP gaining, fast, weapon. I'm looking at this from the standpoint of beginning the game... repeatedly ( :( ), so essentially, a timeline of at least the first 24 hours of the game's start from after you give Katey her very first dose of Zombrex, because that's when you meaningfully have a choice of what you could do in the game. Note that I tagged this xbox 360, but I'm fairly sure no other system will vary. If they do, I would appreciate such being noted for completeness reasons.

How is it possible for an item to have 300+ stat?

I just saw an amulet on the Auction House with 325 Dexterity. I was under the impression that the max was 200, so I went into the DiabloNut affix page and looked for the Dex ones. Apparently you can have only 100 Dexterity from the +Dex affix, but you can have up to 300 from DexVit, DexInt, etc. Does this mean that the maximum possible on an item is 400? For one stat that is, I am sure you can't have 400 for multiple stats.

Friendly fire in Empire Total War

The battle report shows that my casualties are 700, but the enemy killed only 400. Presumably 300 is friendly fire. **If yes, it would be interesting to know what kind of friendly fire there is and how to avoid it.** I know two types of friendly fire for sure (cannon and rifle fire). It is pretty obvious how to avoid being hit by cannon fire, however it is not entirely clear how to avoid friendly rifle fire?


Need Clarification Prot Pally Block+dodge+parry+5% chance for the boss to miss

I would appreciate someone clarifying the percentages. For example, my Mastery rating says I block 49% (Okay), which is straightforward. However, under the "Defense" information it shows my Dodge, Parry and Block percentages. The Block % here is 54.48%, which is 5% higher than what the Mastery section entails. **Therefore, my question: is the 54.48%, my Mastery 49% + the 5% chance to miss me? Or do I need to add the 5% to 54.48% + dodge + parry = 102.4%???**


What are ammo boxes for?

I've started up New Vegas, and exploited the shop glitch to get some caps. ( **SO** glad they didn't fix that bug.)

(I'm not playing in Hardcore mode, maybe my next playthrough.) They weren't in the ammo section. If I were to buy ammo boxes, what can I do with them? Can I use them somehow to give myself ammo?


How does Xbox Live Gamertag recovery affect my achievements?

My Xbox 360 broke one day while I was not connected to Xbox Live. I recovered my Gamertag on my friend's Xbox 360 while connected to Xbox Live.

Can I retry a level after the Treasure Yeti has retreated to bring him back?

When playing a level containing a Treasure Yeti, retrying before the yeti appears does not forfeit your chance to kill the yeti (he still appears in the list of attacking zombies at the outset). However, I've never tried restarting after the yeti has retreated without being killed. **Does retrying after the yeti escapes cause him to show up again?**


Is there a way to figure out what cities have wonders?

I'm a bit of a wonder perfectionist in Civilization, and I like to have a monopoly on them. However, sometimes another civilization sneaks one by me; in those situations, I like to conquer the city that has it to complete my collection. In previous versions of Civilization, you had the ability, through demographics, to figure out what cities had wonders. But I can't seem to find anything like that in Civilization 5: the closest things I've found are the periodic "top 10"-style lists that'll mention how many wonders a civilization has. Is there better way to figure out exactly which foreign cities have wonders?


Feed the beast does not load latest MC version

So i had two versions of minecraft on my system. I overwritten one minecraft.exe since i had to manually download 1.6, at least it said so on the main minecraft screen. Then i downloaded feed the beast, copied it to the new folder and ran it for the first time. I had a bunch of yellow warnings and red errors in the log but it started minecraft eventually. But the older version 1.5x. I deleted the .minecraft folder in the appdata and both the regular minecraft maps. Searched the registry for any minecraft related, installed the latest MC (which loads 1.6). Then did the same with feed the beast, chose the same installation folder as the new minecraft folder and let it run again. Eventually i got MC 1.5x running again instead of the latest. Does feed the beast only work with 1.5x, or is there something wrong? I have seen a youtube video and they had a funky menu on the main screen that i do not have. I have the feeling something is wrong but i can not put my finger on it.


Oddly predictable stutter, only in Crysis

So here's my rig: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. AMD Phenom II x4 810 (2.6gHz) 4gb DDR2-800 AMD Radeon 5850 1gb, connected via HDMI to a Samsung 47" 1080p LCD TV. I can play other games fine, though the ones I play the most are Civ V and UT3. However, Crysis exhibits an odd stuttering... It will run incredibly smoothly, with frame rates often in excess of 50fps. However, about once a second, there's a small hitch or stutter. This is the only game I've seen this behavior in. This is not the microstutter exhibited by SLI systems, as I don't run SLI. I doubt it's texture streaming, as it occurs too often and too reliably (texture streaming stutters should occur when moving, yet this occurs even if I'm standing still). It occurs no matter what settings I use, whether 1080p w/ everything on Highest, or 800x600 w/ everything on Low. I've tried disabling all background programs except my Norton antivirus. If I can't find other solutions, I'll try disabling that - after I first disable my network connection. Sorry, I don't think gaming is important enough to compromise the security of your PC. Any other ideas about what could be causing this problem?

What to do with workers in Civilization 5 when all tiles improved?

The city ai recommends a ton of workers early on. It is great when the city is growing fast, but when the city population starts to stagnate, I get stuck with a lot of workers. Now with this other question telling me not to build roads between cities smaller than 6 population, I don't see much use for a lot of workers so after a few hundred of turns (epic speed), they all get fortified until cities grows. Is there something special to do with them actively? For example in Civilization 4, whenever a worker was mining, it had a slight chance of finding a ressource so you could just build/clear mines with hopes of finding something useful.


How do I defeat Kai Leng in Cerberus Headquarters?

At the end of my assault on the Cerberus Headquarters I unfortunately didn't meet the Illusive Man in person so that I could put a bullet in his brain. He left his assassin Kai Leng though to deal with me. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jWT1y.jpg) I have to say, compared to him the Reapers are just pushovers, I'm having a hard time even just surviving long enough to scratch his shields. His shields can take an enormous amount of punishment, and when I finally got them down once his health bar didn't seem to move at all. Shortly afterwards he had his shields up again, came to close to me and just killed me. So, how do I defeat Kai Leng?

Which weapons are bolstered by which skills?

In Payday 2 there is a set of weapons and skills that you can get to improve certain aspects of their usage. What I can not find however is which weapons the skills affect and if there is any overlap. Some of the weapons are easy to tell, like the SMGs. But the rest seem like they could fall into two groups. The skills break down as such:   * Equilibrium - Pistol   * Gunslinger - Pistol   * Kilmer - Assault Rifles   * Leadership - Pistols and All Weapons when Aced   * Shotgun Impact - Shotgun   * Shotgun CQB - Shotgun   * Hard Boiled - Shotgun and All Weapons when Aced   * Overkill - Shotgun, Saw and All Weapons when Aced   * Rifleman - Assault Rifles   * Sharpshooter - Single Shot Weapons and All Rifles when Aced   * Mag Plus - All Weapons   * Silent Killer - All Silenced Weapons   * The Professional - All Silenced Weapons There are some of these that are obvious. What I am wondering though is about cross over. Are the single shot shotguns considered Single Shot weapons for the 'Unlocking the Sharpshooter' skill? Do pistols that are single shot count as single shot weapons? Is the M308 a single shot weapon only or will it gain the benefits of skills like Kilmer and Rifleman that affect assault rifles?

Where is the room with the stargate?

I remember walking into a room and dot saying something along the lines of "I can't believe it! A working stargate", but I didnt go through it because I didn't know if it was the end.

Is it possible to rename your characters after starting a game?

I recently started a new game and actually spent a decent amount of time building my characters instead of using the pre-built stuff. However, I completely forgot to give them names so now everybody is named something like "New Character". Of course, this isn't game-breaking in the least but it's annoying (and makes me feel a tad stupid). Is there any way of changing your character's names after you've started the game (either officially or through some amount of moderate hackery)?


What is the key to a good sneak attack build?

It's my second char, after a pure mage. It's supposed to be a one- handed/archer sneak attacker with Light Armor. The build so far: Race: Breton (for magic defense) Level: ~18 (below 20, cant check right now) Archery: 53, Overdraw 3 Sneak: 48, Stealth 3, Backstab, Deadly Aim One-Handed: ~25-30, Armsman 2 The rest of the perks are in Alchemy and Speech for making money, to pay for level-up trainings. First I leveled Archery with Faendal to 50, then I got Alchemy to 50 for money and poisons. Next I want to get Athis as follower for free One-Handed training. I always prefer combat perks as they become available over money-making perks. Equipment: Imperial/Elven Light Armor, Dwarven Bow/Arrows, no Enchantments so far. Now the problem is, some enemies go down with 1, at most 2 sneak attack arrows. But there are many regular mobs (not to mention bosses) who have so insanely much health and/or armor, they can easily eat 10 sneak arrows, making for a very slow and tedious game. Additionally, one little mistake and it's reload time, since I cannot really stand against such opponents in open combat, even if they are already half-dead. Coming from my level 40+ destruction mage who can obliterate most anything with one or two dual-casts at the second-highest difficulty level (first char) and who is practically immune to magic, I am very disappointed so far. I even had to turn down the difficulty to normal, with little effect. So, what am I doing wrong, or is a sneak attacker always that weak around this level? What area do I have to improve most to one-shot most targets? Or do I have to start over with a new race and build?

The description for the Finesse, Dagger-based "Shadow Strike" move mentions that it can be chained up to 5 times in a row. When exactly are you supposed to press the attack button to chain the move?

Copying WoW Addon settings between characters

I have several alts, and I try to keep all the addon settings consistent between them. With the exception of ones like Gatherer on my tailor/enchanter all the addons are on for all the characters. Certain addons like Recount (and Gatherer) claim to be able to set a profile that can be referenced across all characters, but these don't seem to exactly work; load the 'profile', make a change, but it is not reflected on another character, even after reloading the profile. So, is it advisable to simply copy the files from one character folder to the others to get all settings consistent? Is there a better way to accomplish the same? I would hope something short of doing a diff on the files and reconciling. **UPDATE** : I just went through and copied the files over to my other characters, no significant issues. I did check the files first just to see if anything would get fubar. There are actually only a handful of files that you need to copy if you want to get the layout and config and addons in sync. In your main character folder (or from wherever you want to copy the settings):   * layout-local.txt   * config-cache.wtf   * SavedVariables (directory) Thats it! You will probably have to recheck the 'character specific' key bindings box if you have set any up. Copying only the above files will prevent you from overwriting those bindings.


Weight vs. Speed for Road Rage/Racing

In Burnout 3, the Road Rage game mode, you are tasked with busting other cars. In racing, you are tasked with getting to the finish line fastest, and you can also take out cars. Each car has a weight value and a speed value. My question is, what is the best blend? What gives you the most destructibility while at the same time making sure you don't come in dead last speed-wise? (I am not looking for an opinion; I am looking for a specific speed and weight in which I can still catch up to the lead car, but still take out other cars without being slammed off the road)

No hostile mobs spawning in minecraft

I'm absolutely sure I am not in peaceful mode I'll even provide my server properties at the end of this. I've tried switching between hard mode to peaceful and back again, nothing works. I've waited a few night, with no torches and far away from spawn points, no mobs spawn, not even in the caves. This is not a bukkit server and there are no mods or plugins. This has been happening since the recent 1.7.2 update and it's only in multiplayer server. If I play a in single player they'll spawn but if I transfer the world over to multiplayer all the mobs disappear. I can spawn mobs with a spawn egg but once you kill them they're gone. I've tried several different solutions from different forums but nothing helps.               #Minecraft server properties     #Wed Nov 20 10:50:50 PST 2013     generator-settings=     op-permission-level=4     allow-nether=true     level-name=world     enable-query=false     allow-flight=false     announce-player-achievements=true     server-port=25565     level-type=DEFAULT     enable-rcon=false     force-gamemode=false     level-seed=     server-ip=     max-build-height=256     spawn-npcs=true     white-list=false     spawn-animals=true     snooper-enabled=true     hardcore=false     online-mode=true     resource-pack=     pvp=true     difficulty=1     enable-command-block=false     player-idle-timeout=0     gamemode=0     max-players=5     spawn-monsters=true      view-distance=10     generate-structures=true     spawn-protection=1     motd=A Minecraft Server

I'm thinking about getting the game again.


How much standing do I lose for declining a mission from an agent?

I'm running faction warfare missions, which are distributed all over the enemy low-sec. To optimize the mission running I'm trying to get missions that are close together, but I can only decline missions without standing loss once every four hours. If I could decline missions more often, it would make it easier to optimize the routes and get misssions that are close together. What I'd like to know is _how much_ standing I lose when declining a mission, that would make it easier to gauge how often I can decline missions without hurting my standings long- term. How much faction, corporation and agent standing do I lose for declining a mission? How much is that in comparison to the standings I gain, so what percentage of missions can I decline and have my standings stable over time?

Fly single mission with custom settings in H.A.W.X. 2

In the original H.A.W.X. you could fly any single player mission with any of your unlocked fighter jets and weapon loadouts. I've recently played through the H.A.W.X. 2 single player campaign (rather short, of course) and would now like to revisit some of these missions with different jets.

Thus my question: **How do I unlock the "Custom Settings" option for single missions?**

Feed The Beast launcher crash on adding Calclavia mods

I used to play the voltz modpack in minecraft when I heard about the ftb Monster modpack. But unlike voltz, it does not have Atomic Science and ICBM mods, also , I wanted to add the galacticraft mod. So I downloaded these ---> Universal Electricity 3.1.0.74-core; Calclavia-Core-1.2.0.306-main; Atomic Science-1.1.0.58-core; ICBM-1.4.1.339. I added these jars in the edit modpack menu removing the old calclavia and UE jars and started the game. The mojang screen comes and after a while the launcher crashes. I tried adding the above mods one by one and found out that adding Calclavia, Atomic, or ICBM in any combination crashes the launcher while the UE mod works fine. Here are the logs ---> Error Log Usually these are NoClassDefFound errors in mffs/block/BlockForceField; Lcalclavia/lib/ore/OreGenBase; or a NoSuchMethodError in calclavia.lib.content.ContentRegistry....

_Mass Effect 3_ has a wide array of "Fetch [X] from System [Y]" missions that can be obtained simply by listening to conversations overheard from people on the Citadel as you're walking past. The problem with this is that the entries these missions make in your Journal are _incredibly_ vague. For example: > **Citadel: Improved Power Grid** A technician at Purgatory on the Citadel > needs an improved power grid to keep things running. Find schematics for a > new power grid and deliver them. Unfortunately you pick up a _lot_ of random stuff when scanning the various systems in the galaxy (war assets, fuel, salvage, etc.). **Is there any indication given via a Journal update to show when this (or any) mission item has been found?**


If you create the Hell Fire ring (the new one) with a level 1 monk, does i still roll level 70 stats?

The Hell Fire ring does not have a level requirement. It also has a chance to roll Main stat. Will there be any difference between making it with a level 1 monk, as opposed to a level 70 monk. Will the stats be the same? Meaning will they roll at their level 70 equivelant, as a higher stat?


Runescape Sizzling Summer offer?

When they state "Over 1 MILLION XP", does that mean you will be instantly rewarded with a lot of XP once you upgrade to members? Or are they referring to new quests and other means to achieve more XP?


Do I have to pay sales taxes on earned Microsoft Live Points?

On http://rewards.xbox.com/earn/ I have many ways to earn points for doing some specific action. When I use these points to purchase an item from XBOX live will I be charged a sales tax?

How does the 'Keen Edge' ability work?

On my Ranger I have an ability called 'Sharpening Stone', as follows; ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/XPRC1.png) I also have a trait called 'Keen Edge', which is supposed to trigger Sharpening Stone automatically whenever I reach 75% health - according to the text; ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/VemHC.png) However, I have never seen Sharpening Stone go on cooldown unless I have specifically used the ability. Is this how Keen Edge is supposed to work, or am I missing something?


Do DotA 2 heroes have the same "fun" names as in WC3 DotA?

In WC3 DotA, you would occasionally (1 out of 10 times) get little fun nicknames for your hero instead of their actual name (for instance, Puck!! for Puck, Clinkz Eastwood for Clinkz, YaphetS for Shadow Fiend, etc). My question is, is this feature part of DotA 2? If not, is anyone aware if Valve plans to add those names, or are some of them copyrighted by Blizzard?


How can I get my party member "in range"?

Every time I've entered combat in _Legend of Grimrock_ , I find that the party member in my third slot (3) can't attack. Every time I try and attack I'm met with the message "Can't Reach!" I've tried swapping him out with the party member in my second slot (who I _thought_ was using a longer weapon), but that just makes the character I swapped with unable to reach the enemy. **How can I ensure all of my party members are able to attack?**
