Why do people crouch in CS:S?

While playing CS:S, I noticed that quite a few people would crouch when in a firefight. Is there any reason for this, like to reduce your hitbox or to reduce recoil from a weapon? I'm assuming the former, but of course to assume is to make an a** out of you and me. I've also heard about hitbox issues, does crouching take advantage of one?


Can I download DLC onto more than one PlayStation 3?

If I download DLC on one of my PlayStation 3s, will I still be able to download it to other PlayStation 3s? I haven't tried anything because I don't know what to do.


What exactly do the different Spaceship components do in Civ Revolution?

In the end game for Civilization Revolution on the iPad, I'm presented with the option to build   * SS Fuel Pod   * SS Propulsion   * SS Life Support   * SS Habitation The first two are described as "Will reduce the time required to reach its destination" and the last two as "Will increase final score on its arrival". These all somehow add up to Propulsion (in "pounds of thrust"), Station Weight (in "tons"), travel time (in years, of course), and colonists at arrival, in some number out of some other number. I know it's just a silly endgame thing, but if I wanted to, say, get 100000 colonists to Alpha Centauri in the shortest amount of time, and have a _lot_ of building resources due to a large empire, what should I put together (and how would I figure it out)?

How can I have my door stay open until I go go back inside

I want to have a pressure plate beside my door on the inside. When I step on it I want it to toggle my door open or closed. So if I walk out my door should stay open until I (or someone else) walks back inside.


How could I use my racing wheel pedals in other games?

I dunno if someone has ever thought of this before, but Googling about it has turned up absolutely nothing. I'd like to be able to use my Logitech Momo Racing wheel pedals as extra buttons in some games. Namely, bind some panic abilities to them in a MMO game, and in general, just have something accessible just by the thump of my foot. Another use would be to bind it as a push to talk key for ventrilo\mumble\etc. Any help appreciated!


What are the missable equipment/items in Bravely Default?

What are the missable equipment by events? (such as changes in landscape; changes in area accessibility (if any)) What are the missable equipment/items in boss fights? (Those that can only be gotten from stealing) I need the thief job and its related job skills to make stealing efficient, but I don't want to use the thief job all the time. Which boss fights contain missable equipment so I know when to change class to thief?


Starcraft 2: Photon Cannon Detection Range?

So I was rushing with a Dark Templar and a nearby Photon Cannon couldn't shoot me, but his troops shot me. ![photon cannon irregularity](http://i.stack.imgur.com/qMHNI.jpg) Can this Photon Cannon detect me even if it can't shoot me? Because his Stalkers shot me even though there were no other Detects flying around. Is the Photo Cannon’s detection range just really long or is this guy cheating?


Trigger Discipline Perk - Good for Snipers without VATS?

I started to play a sniper but I won't use Vats. I heard, that a shot with a sniper rifle hits exactly where you aim. If that's true, the perk "Trigger Discipline" would be completely useless for me, right? Moreover a disadvantage, because of the lower fire rate. If I'd use Vats, I may get more accuracy. But for me, this is just a cheat- mode and I want to play a game instead of watching a film here.

How do I know who I slept with?

I have an ME1 save, but no longer have access to the game itself. I wish to start a new game in ME2 (Xbox 360) based on this save in preparation for ME3.

How do I disable always on voice chat in Dead Island?

I decided to try out Dead Island's co-op mode. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to turn off voicechat and I can't find any push to talk option. I don't want to just unplug my microphone because I want to be able to chat with my friends using Mumble or some other external program. I can't seem to find any option in the audio configuration file to turn off voicechat or change it to push to talk. Is there any way to do this or do I need to wait for a patch?


Using a ps3 controller to play Lego Star Wars on PC

I'm trying to use a PS3 controller to play Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga on PC. I managed to use "DS3 Tool" to connect the PS3 controller. As far as I could tell this worked fine; I could bring up the Windows calibration dialog and calibrate the controller. But when I started the game and tried to use the controller it didn't work: the in-game controller select menu didn't react when I was instructed to press a button on the controller. Any clues?


When does Magicka save your position?

I thought these checkpoints had some kind of auto-saving, but after I quit the game and wanted to continue, I had to go to the beginning. Is this some sort of a bug or what? When does the game save your position? I don't plan on going through the whole game in one shot; those days are over. I want to play for 45-60 minutes to relax, not to sit in front of the computer playing for half a day.


Is there a distance penalty for settling cities?

In Civ 4 there was a serious penalty when you settled a city far away from your main capital. What is the position on this in Civ 5? Should I scatter shot my cities far away? Or place them close to my capital?


How do I save my Dead Island game on PS3?

Apparently the developers forgot to include a save command in the ps3 version, and as a result the game saves only when it feels like it. This results in lots of potential for lost data (indeed the Internet is rife with stories of people losing hours of play and multiple levels). Is there any method known behind what triggers the game to save? The red biohazard symbol seems linked, but I've had partial data loss following apparent saves (going by the red biohazard symbol) with some quest pickups (and exp and drops) saved, but others lost. As an additional question, Can you save your in game location anywhere besides the quest hubs (I found myself at the life guard station after my last session, even though it had been over an hour of play time since I had been there last)? Bonus points if someone can answer and provide information about whether a patch to fix this is planned.


How do I save map settings as the default when starting a new game?

Is it possible to save the Civ V game settings so when I start a new map they would be (for example):   * Napolean   * Large Map   * Epic   * No Barbarians   * Prince   * etc..., So that every time I play I don't have to manually configure them all?


In Civ V, what happens when you take a city in a One City Challenge Game? Clearly keeping the city would be a huge advantage, so I would be surprised to hear that you are allowed to keep and use the city. Is it automatically razed?

How do I change servers in SimCity?

When I tell my xbox one to snap TV, my screen splits and puts my cable tv on the right. How do I get control of the left half of my screen again? I am pretty sure I tried every button, but I cannot get focus of the left side of my screen. _If a picture is needed, I will post one shortly._


How can I bring fire when a waterfall is in the way?

During my playthrough I came across a cave which had a waterfall blocking the only entrance. The cave had a burnable basket (containing resources), but since my only way to carry fire is via torch, and the waterfall automatically puts it out, I couldn't get the resources. Am I missing a skill which allows you to carry fire some other way than a torch or through waterfalls and should come back later when I have it, or should there some other method to bring fire to the cave via torch and should I explore other ways to enter it?


How can I avoid being traced?

Every time I try to hack any substantial number of servers, I always find my trace percentage skyrocketing. I run `deletelogs` on each server after I'm done with it, and when my trace percentage passes 90%, I run `deletelogs` after every further command, and I always make sure to only transfer money is small amounts, but it's not enough. Commonly I'll find I'm about 30% higher than I'm required to be for my objective. How can I avoid being traced?


Does recalling remove stealth?

I think recalling removes stealth on champions like Akali or Teemo, that need to do nothing to remain stealthed, but perhaps for Evelynn or Twitch, who can move while stealthed, can they recall without removing stealth?


In Terraria, is it possible to completely reclaim a Corrupted area?

Well, what I tried to do was completely cleanse a Corruption area. I assumed it's all about the grass, since that seems to be how the Corruption spreads, and other biomes (such as the Underground Jungle) work like that. So, I bought a few stacks of Purification Powder and Sunflowers, and purified every bit of Corrupted grass I could find. It didn't completely work, however. Slimes/Zombies now spawn, but so do Eaters of Souls, still -- and the music hasn't changed. Is there something else that has to be done to completely eradicate the Corruption? (I've already smashed every single Shadow Orb; I doubled checked using the World Viewer.)


Why does Event Horizon affect Vladimir while in Sanguine Pool?

Why does Vlad get stunned of Event Horizon (Veigar E) While in Sanguine Pool? And are there any other Area of Effect Crowd Control spells that can affect him during the duration of his Sanguine Pool?               Sanguine Pool     (Active): Vladimir sinks into a pool of blood becoming untargetable for 2      seconds and slowing enemies above him by 40% for 1 second.

Can I copy my save game from Square Enix (2012) version to Steam (2013) version?

How do you get Beedle's airship to stop?

There doesn't seem to be a feasible way to ring the bell on the bottom of Beedle's airship. It seems it might be possible to stab a pumpkin and throw it at the bell or lift up a pot and throw it. The main problem is aiming, it does not seem obvious how the player is supposed to aim.


Well Fitted/Custom Fit armor perks: If the armor type of the shield is different, will it affect these perks?

I recently did Peryite's quest and got this really bad-ass shield, Spellbreaker. However, its armor type is Heavy and I concentrated my armor perks on the Light Armor perk tree, and this includes the 'Custom Fit' perk (25% Armor bonus if wearing all Light Armor). If I'm wearing all Light Armor, while wielding a 'Heavy Armor' shield like Spellbreaker, will I still get the Custom Fit perk bonus? Also, is this the same case with similar perks like Wind Walker/Tower of Strength (Stamina regenerates 50% faster in all Light Armor / 50% less stagger when wearing only Heavy Armor) and Matching Set (additional 25% Armor bonus if wearing a matched set of Armor - assuming that the player has a matching set of armor, except for the shield, which is a different armor type).

What are the effects of using CompleteQuest console command to cheat completing quests?

I've got a problem with my savefiles and lost about one to two hours of gameplay. During this time I travelled to the children village little Lamplight and made my way to the vault, I think it's number 87. While I found the quests to be very interesting, I'm not keen on repeating them and would like to skip this part of the main quest using cheat codes. Here's what I found: If you type `CompleteQuest` in the console, the current quest is completed. I would try this right now but unfortunately I'm currently immersed in a sidequest and need to finish that first. Therefore I would like to know if you can tell me the results of using this cheat.   * What happens to the places I should have visited but now never travelled to? Will Little Lamplight be marked on my map?   * What happens to characters that are important for the quests? Will the children know me, when I eventually "return" to little Lamplight? Will the slave-keeping raiders that should have been killed in order to free those two children be dead?


What bonuses do I get from the tile on which I place my city?

I'm trying to understand all the facets of city placement. One thing I can't quite find, however, is if the specific terrain of the tile the city is built on has a significant effect. Does it make a difference if your city is on a hill, or in a forest, or next to a river? What happens if you drop your city on a luxury resource or strategic resource or something else like wheat? **How does a city interact with the terrain on which it is built?**

What is new in Ducktales Remastered?

Ducktales on the NES is by far one of the best license video games of all time, and was recently (relatively) made into a Remastered version, "Ducktales Remastered". And yet...by the look of a few preview videos I've seen, much of the game is basically the same. Same levels, same layout, a bit of shiny polish and remixing of music, maybe a few revamped bosses but not much else. So what _has_ been added to the new Remastered version of Ducktales? Note that I am not asking for feature changes, because obviously they've polished the game quite a lot. I'm asking about straight-up additions to the game. I noticed there's a music track for "Mount Vesuvious" on youtube, which I assume is a brand new level. Are there other new levels? And is it an entirely new level, or just a reskin of Transylvania the way they re-used Transylvania in the original game 3 times?


TF2 server connection problems

Yesterday, one of my friends started playing TF2 for the first time, so I thought it would be a good idea if we played a game against bots together before we play the mayhem that is multiplayer. So, I decided to set up a server and told her to connect to it. Here is the exact process that I did:   * Port-forwarded ports 27000 through 27040   * Clicked the "Create server" button   * Set up a capture point server on the map Gorge with a hostname and password "new"   * When loaded into the server, I typed "`ip <my_external_ip>:27015`" into the console   * I also entered the command `sv_lan 0`   * I then told her to enter `password new` and `connect <my_external_ip>:27015` Every time we tried, one of two things happened:   1. Her client sent an error message saying "Connection failed after 4 retries"   2. Her client sent an error message saying "The server is not responding" She can connect to normal servers fine, and so can I. What am I doing wrong and why can't she connect?

Are all of Terramorphous' Class Mod drops the same?

When farming Terramorphous last night we found that he _exclusively_ dropped orange Class Mods with nearly identical effects (he dropped other loot, but the orange loot was always a single mod, every time). All of these had +4 to 6 different skills, and +20% to 25% Burn damage and Burn Effect Chance, and + some amount of max health. These mods are really fairly useless, aside from the skill bonus. They're okay for Siren (still sub-par burn %s however) but do they really only drop Burn Damage or did we get an unlucky batch? I saw Gunzerker, Assassin and Siren mods. The 2 Siren mods were identical, and the non-siren mods all had the burn chance and health bonuses.

What is the weak point on the Promethean Watcher?

I find the Crawlers pretty easy to headshot, and the Knights seem to at least take a lot of damage if not one hit when their shields are down, if aiming at the head. The Watchers don't exactly seem to have a head, and focusing on the center "head thing" doesn't seem to improve the take down time. I'm finding them super hard to eliminate, and they often overwhelm me. Do they have a weak spot like other enemies?

What masteries synergize with Warfare in Titan Quest?

I just hit level 8 in Titan Quest and found that I can choose a secondary mastery. Warfare is my primary. I looked through the various options for a while and was a bit overwhelmed. What secondary masteries (and skills) work in tandem with the Warfare abilities, and which don't work? For example, I saw one ability that looked like it would conflict with my "assign this to left click" ability, so I figure I should stay away from that sort of thing (unless... do they stack?). Are there any particularly effective/fun combos to look at?


Burnout Paradise: constant crashing on Vista & Windows 7

I know this has little to do with gaming, but more to do with lack of gaming. On both my Vista PC as my Windows 7 laptop, Burnout Paradise crashes 9 times out of 10 just a few frames after going in-game. The odd thing is that it happens on both machines (PC has a nVidia 8600 GTS, laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650). The game was downloaded via Steam on each machine separately. Disabling anti-virus (MS Security Essentials) or, via Steam, defragmenting, verifying and redownloading has no effect. At first, I only ran the game on my laptop. Correspondence with EA promised a patch for Windows 7 after several e-mails, but it regularly crashes on my PC as well. A list of about 15 other Steam games run without hitches on either machine. Has anybody run into such an issue with Burnout Paradise?

Why did I lose stats when rubbing a card in Monster Monpiece?

I just unlocked the "rubbing" feature which I thought was supposed to strengthen cards. However, I just LOST 1 attack and 2 HP off a card (Snow Owl) after rubbing it. It still has it's original high mana cost, so the cards are basically useless now. Elevating it to level 3 did not fix (or further harm) the stats, and I don't have enough power to raise it to level 4 yet. If it matters, I rubbed the whole stack of cards at once. I'm not especially good at the rubbing game yet but I did complete it and had some time left. Why would I lose stats when "upgrading" a card? Is it random, or do certain cards just always get decreases in stats or what's going on here? A couple other cards DID increase in stats.


How to deal with enemies with full-body shields?

It turns out that in Borderlands 2 some enemies have shields, like Nomads and BUL Loaders. Some shields have minions on it, some have spikes, most are impervious to all damage and bad news in general. Sometimes those enemies will open themselves up to damage, but I can't figure out how to do so reliably and I'd rather not spend entire magazines of ammo trying to aim for the foot of these enemies. I imagine commandos can play double trouble with their turrets, assassins can cloak and teleport around and whatnot, sirens can phaselock him for a while... but I'm a gunzerker. I regenerate health and ammo every once in a while and dual wield guns and that's it! I _have_ to go through this the hard way... do I? What's the trick here?


Why does my weapon switch to non-automatic in Battlefield 3?

I don't know if I am accidentally hitting a button and not knowing it, missing a feature that I didn't read about, or keep hitting a bug that hasn't been fixed - but my guns sometimes are no longer automatic. I am still rather new, and these are using whatever the default guns are for each class. I will be playing, and the gun is automatic, as in, I hold the trigger button (RT) down and shoot several bullets. This is the way I would always expect it to work, unless I was using a weapon I knew was non-automaic, like a sniper rifle or basic handgun. Every once in a while though, usually after a respawn or revive, but also after changing from a vehicle back to non-vehicle, the weapon will go into a non-automatic mode. As in, if I hold down the trigger, only one bullet comes out until I press the trigger again. I know my weapon hasn't changed, nor my class - its the same weapon. But suddenly it is no longer automatic. This will even last through respawns, and class changes. For example, if I am support, then engineer, the next 'what should be automatic weapon' is not. But then, suddenly it will be maybe after another respawn, etc. I can not pinpoint why this happens. I don't know if I end up hitting a certain button not knowing it (I have sometimes accidentally changed classes waiting to respawn not knowing it). What is causing this? Can you turn on/off the automatic setting on weapons in BF3? Is this some glitch?

How do I beat the Trial of Archimedes?

Late in the game, the Trial of Archimedes is a definitive road block with a much higher difficulty level than the rest of the game. Part of the problem is that there are multiple difficult stages with no checkpoint in between, only a pause. There is also no option to switch difficulty, unlike previous God of War games. What are some tips to make this event easier?


How strict is Skyrim's 'Mage Armor' perk on the armor restriction?

So I'm looking here at the Mage Armor perk, and it supposedly doubles Stoneflesh's effectiveness if 'not wearing armor.' I just picked up a mask called 'Morokei' that increases Magika regen 100%. Only problem, it's classified as light armor. Will this destroy the effects of Mage Armor?


How do I beat Metal Face?

I know I need to chain attacks to be able to do any real damage; so I use break, but my second character never does a topple. Am I supposed to do this manually, if so how?


What results in gaining XP, and is it affected by difficulty level?

I've played a few games of Dungeon Hearts, but I've been struggling to make much progress, usually only lasting a few battles before I reach the limit of my moving circles around quickly skill. It's probably worth mentioning that I'm playing on PC; the control system is not the easiest thing to master with a mouse. From the title screen I noticed that there was a store, which seemed to contain all sorts of useful things that could potentially help me in my quest to not suck at this game. However, I also noticed that after having played a few games, I'd only earned a pitiful amount of XP. ![In-game store screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0mDDr.jpg) This has left me wondering, what actions in the game lead to me gaining XP? Is this related to leveling-up my characters in game? Is XP gain affected by the difficulty level?


Game Modes and Learning Curve

What's the recommended learning curve on League of Legends? I mean, I'm in level 16, and for me **Beginner Co-op vs AI** is very easy, I can win even with a bad team. So, I tried **Normal Game (PVP)** , and I get a mix of wins and loses. Some players say to touch the PVP only when I get the level 30... I thought fair because maybe I was weakening my team because I'm learning yet. In the end, I tried **Intermediate Co-op vs AI** and all battles were harder (IMO) than Normal Games (PVP). In the end, I'm confused about what can I do to advance summoner levels and improve myself. It's better play **Intermediate Co-op vs AI** up to I find it "easy" and then tring PVP, or it's better skip it and go right to PVP? Or there are some better route to self-improve on League of Legends?


What are the chances to get a female starter, and is there anyway to increase the chances?

I'm playing Pokemon X currently, and I really want a female Fennekin (as seen in the trailers). I've read the chances of getting a female starter are low, but not impossible. Someone on GF said that the gender of your starter depends on the gender you pick (at the start of the game). Is this a rumor or is there any correlation? So, will I just have to keep soft resetting my game or what can I do to increase the odds?


Prevent players from playing my missions

I just recently start playing Borderlands 2 online with random people on Steam. I just open up my game to the public and let people play. Some of them are now on my Steam list and they join whenever I am playing. Yesterday I started TVHM and people joined. After one mission I closed the game, and today when I started the game again I saw that the game is almost halfway done! This is quite annoying because I can not reset the TVHM, just lost lots of levels and fun times. Is there a way for me to have it so that when I close my game nobody can go on playing?


Ps3 games user specific

Is there a way to make games only accessable to specific users (we have kids who don't want others having access to their games) kids being kids, as soon as their backs are turned they are on the other kids games.


Will the Battleship reappear if you miss it once?

I want to farm the Blaster Launcher before I finish the game. The Battleship appeared once when I was in the process of rearming the Firestorm I had over that area and my 2 regular interceptors were unable to take it down, and the Battleship got away. Will it reappear in my game, or did I miss my one chance to get it? I'm been scanning for ~3 months and haven't seen it since.


Diablo item drop lost after end credits in public game

I had a full inventory going into the final battle in a Diablo 3 public 4-player game. After we killed Diablo, I ported to town to sell my inventory and make room for the three yummy-looking rares he had dropped. I should have stashed it instead of deliberating over a couple of the items, because within a minute, someone triggered the end credits event. Short of begging my comrades to hold off on talking to Auriel, is there a way to ensure that I can still access the items that Diablo drops?


Max number of familiars?

In Blood Brothers, what's the max number of familiars you can hold? My current limit is 50. Is there anything I can do to increase the max count?

In Garry's Mod, using the `gmod_tool` command (as in `gmod_tool faceposer`) changes the active toolgun, but not the associated context menu. Is there a command I can use to change the active context menu?


How to configure Streaming on Starbound

In Starbound, when you click on F6 you can open a menu to start a streming on Twitch. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0kQRc.jpg) And how it says, you have to configure the "streamingvideo.config" file. This file contains this code inside:               {       "startAtLoad" : false,       "kind" : "twitch",       "targetFps" : 30,       "verticalFlip" : true,       "caCertPath" : ".\\curl-ca-bundle.crt",       "dllLoadPath" : ".",       "username" : "",       "password" : "",       "audioEnabled" : true,       "tracing" : false,       "traceFile" : ".\\twitch.log",       "refreshTimer" : 30.0     }      But i don't know how to configure it. the "only" fields that I changed are "username" and "password" that I put my account on twitch. Then I push the Start button, but doesn't works given the error that can be seen on image. How can I Configure it to make it work?


The Sub-Tiers of PvE Raid gear (MoP)

I have noticed that there are 5 'Sub-Tiers' for the gear dropped in Raids:   1. **_Heroic Warforged_** - iLvl 572 (Max 588) [Upgrade: +6]   2. **_Heroic_** - iLvl 566 (Max 582) [Upgrade: +7]   3. **_Warforged_** - iLvl 559 (Max 575) [Upgrade: +6]   4. **_Normal_** - iLvl 553 (Max 569) [Upgrade: +13]   5. **_Flexible_** - iLvl 540 (Max 556) [Upgrade: +12]   6. **_LFR_** - iLvl 528 (Max 544) I Understand that _LFR_ drops from _LFR Raids_ , _Flexible_ from _Flex Raids_ , _Normal_ from _Normal Raids_ and _Heroic_ from _Heroic Raids_. I have noticed that _Warforged_ gives +6 item Level. What I do not understand, is how to get the _Warforged_ items? Do you have to manually do something to upgrade them? Are there special conditions under which you could loot these? Also, can you get the _Set Pieces_ (Head, Shoulders, Gloves, Legs, Chest) as a _Warforged_ item?


Where are the wooden crates in each map?

In Tomb Raider multiplayer, each map has set locations at which wooden crates spawn. These wooden crates can be opened with the Use bind, performing an opening animation levering an ice tool. Unlike normal ammo boxes, these wooden crates provide ammo for explosives. Where do they spawn in each map?


What's the actual use of parking lot?

Does that have something to do with the time? Or the cars one the road? The items to be delivered? Or the lighting in environment, like that?


My WiiU should have 22GB of free space, but it has only 9GB instead

I can't install Assassin's Creed 3 on the WiiU, because it takes up to 14,2GB of data storage, and I have only 9019MB. I try to understand why, because I should have up to 22GB free. So, this is all my data:   * Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: 140MB   * Pullblox World: 553MB   * NES REMIX 2: 100MB   * NES REMIX: 388MB   * The Wind Waker HD: 1773MB   * Earthbound: 25MB   * Youtube: 44MB   * DKC: Tropical Freeze (just savegames and updates): 30MB   * ZombiU (just savegames and updates): 34MB   * Mario Kart 8 (just savegames and updates): 149MB   * Super Mario 3D World (just savegames and updates): 39MB Total: 3265MB It is known that the WiiU takes 4.2GB to store the OS. So, adding that: Total: 7555MB I have a 32GB wiiU. After formatting and other stuff, there's only 29GB free. so if my calculations are not wrong, I should have: 29569 - 7555 = 22141MB However, the Data management application only shows 9019MB. And the free space bar suggests by the length of the used space that I have 32GB, just in case. ![The WiiU Data Management Application](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2i2RY.jpg) SO, what's wrong?


Can other players join my farm while I am not present?

In Farming Simulator 2013, you can play online with a friend so he can join your farm and play with you, but he is always "guest" in your farm. What if I want him to play overnight in my farm while I'm not there? Is there any way to share the saved file or something ?


What are pets good for in Nethack?

Absolutely new to Nethack, so forgive my noobiness. I think my pet surely is a cute little ASCII symbol on my console window, but what should I do with it? It follows me, and sometimes, it gets lost (where?), but I don't really care much, as I haven't figured out anything useful about it. Should I somehow feed my pet to make it stay with me? What will I get back from doing this? Are pets "just for fun", or do they serve a useful purpose?


How many times must I beat the mysterious monk in the inn at Dice Poker to get his relic?

In Flotsam's inn in Chapter 1, there's a monk in the basement of the inn who claims he has a mysterious relic that he can't use, and that only those blessed of good luck may have it. As a result, we have to play at Dice Poker. Unfortunately, my luck's not that great, so I tend to win only every other game, and it seems like you need a winning streak to get the award, since when I beat him he says that my luck's not quite good enough to obtain it yet. ![This guy here.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GhyRH.jpg) How many times must I beat him to get the award? What is the award?


How do you cast a health or ammo pack onto yourself in BF4?

When I watch some videos of people playing the Assault or Supply classes in BF4, sometimes they will cast a health or ammo pack such that it appears right in front of their view for their own use immediately. For example, Matimio often does this in his vids. How do you do this? When I try to use these packs, it always "throws" the pack forward, which is normally what I would expect when giving packs to other people. This isn't ideal because I have to run forward to pick it up, which often means going out of cover when I'm trying to heal or reload. I'm on the PC version of BF4.


The benefits of hemorrhage on a subtlety rogue

Having recently reupped my World of Warcraft subscription after a long hiatus, I have decided to start fresh on a dwarf rogue and am currently level 43. I decided to try out subtlety but am slightly confused by the ability Hemorrhage. The ability says               ...causes the target to take 30% additional damage from Bleed effects for 1 min.      However I'm having trouble seeing what rogue abilities cause a bleeding effect. The only one I can see is Garrote and that's an opening move. After that, in an extended fight, I don't see much point to using hemo. Am I missing something? Is there a point to using hemo after the garrote wears off of an enemy?


Do cities only follow the dominant religion in Civilisation V?

What happens if my city has 3 religions, does it benefit from all of the follower beliefs, or does it just work for the current most dominant religion?


Can I win without using Anabolic Steroids?

Apparently, Arm Wrestling in The Witcher 2 is **serious business**. The final "boss" in the arm wrestling chain, if you will, is a circus performer named The Mighty Numa. Skalen Burdon says he cheats, and given that The Mighty Numa's "apprentice" standing next to him is selling a potion of Anabolic Steroids, I'm inclined to believe the dwarf. Do I have to stoop down to his level to beat him, or is there another way? When I try, The Mighty Numa has a tiny target bar, and moves continuously left, even if the arm wrestling cursor isn't red. It seems impossible.


What is the fatal height for Diamond Prot IV armor?

I've having a very hard time with the math, and it doesn't look like anyone has made a calculator yet, so is it possible to explain the max height on max health before a fatal fall occurs with a full set of diamond Protection IV armor? As an extra question, can you explain how adding Feather Falling would or would not increase that? Thank you very much. The reason for this is the server I'm on offers flying in survival as a perk, but sometimes crashes, causing flying to turn off on login. I'd trying to determine the safe distance I can fly without splatting in case of a crash. I see the base is 23 blocks = fatal w/o armor.

How does "You'll See" work, exactly?

The Delusionist pin has an ability, unlocked at a fairly low level, called "You'll See." The description is: > Does Nothing? However, I've heard rumors that the more I use it, the more likely it is that something will happen when I "cast" it. How does this work exactly, and what are the potential rewards? I'm trying to figure out if this is worth the effort.


How do I unlock my full Slacking potential?

The Slacker pin has no useful skills from the outset. As far as I can tell, there's no reason to ever equip or use the skills under this pin, as they appear to do nothing. However, the game sort of slyly implies that the pin is good for something. What good is being a Slacker? What do I have to do in order to unlock it's secret powers?


How do I open the door on the first slime forest level?

I picked up Wizorb and I have to say it's a cute game. I've made it to the second world, the slime forest, and the very first level has a door at the top with some sort of glyph under it: ![Cryptic door](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BnBoP.jpg) I imagine that the glyph is some sort of hint as to how I am supposed to open the door, but it eludes me. What am I supposed to do in order to get this door to open?


Why didn't Tempests replace Carriers?

My understanding is that the Tempest was always intended to replace the Carrier. The Tempest was originally developed for Wings of Liberty and shelved in favor of the tried & true Carrier. When the Carrier saw relatively little use in the Wings of Liberty metagame, the Tempest was brought back for Heart of the Swarm and at one point during the beta replaced the Carrier entirely. Why did Blizzard opt to leave the Carrier in? Also, from a balance/tactical perspective, what different roles do they fill?


Does the Minister of Defence participate in armed conflict?

When hiring a Minister of Defence, the chosen citizen retains the skin of a soldier/general including their gun. During armed conflict (uprising, coup or rebel attack) does the Defence Minister actually function as a soldier and engage the enemy or does he lose this role?


Do playtime clocks stop when the Xbox Guide is loaded?

Sound, music and animation stop when the Xbox Guide is loaded. However I'm not sure if this "pause" mechanism also pauses play clocks. Do games that track playtime continue to do so when the Xbox Guide is loaded? The Xbox Guide is the menu presented when you press the Xbox button in the middle of a controller.

Vector's 100 meter freestyle shape is hard to use!

In Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games at Beijing for the DS, I was trying a mission that was for Vector. When the game began, I saw that Vector's shape pattern was a figure 8! It is very difficult to finish first with that pattern. Can anyone give me tips on how I can easily beat this mission?

Does using targets/dummies improve skills?

I have seen training dummies and targets all over Skyrim (and Cyridil). Do these practice targets improve your skills when you use them, or is it just for effect?


Who are the supporting characters in the game's intro cinematics?

In the three intro cinematics, there are a couple of recurring characters. Satele Shan, the female Jedi, for instance, and Darth Malgus. A couple of the other characters show up in official art, and in one case, even appears on the game's box. Who is the female, red-headed bounty hunter from the Empire's intro cinematic? Is she, like Shan and Malgus, a story character, or just some box-based eye- candy? What about the Smuggler who is being arrested during the Fall of Korriban, or the Republic Commander who rescues Shan from Malgus on Alderaan? Are the rest of these characters meetable in game?


Where is the microphone located?

I know the 3DS has a built in microphone somewhere, because I need to blow into it as part of a Cooking Mama 4 minigame. However. I have no idea where it is, so I just generally blow at the bottom edge of the 3DS. I keep failing the minigame, most likely because I am blowing in the wrong spot. Where is the microphone located, so I can blow in the right spot and get past this mini-game (because I don't like it when Mama is mad at me)?

How long do white magic spells last in Final Fantasy I for NES

I was wondering how long the white magic spells that affect evasion, attack or defence (such as INVS, FOG, RUSE, etc) last in the first Final Fantasy? Do they last for an entire battle? Of just a limited amount of turns?


Is there a way to skip the opening logos in Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

I'm really enjoying the newest Deus Ex, but I'm not enjoying sitting through the logos of the assorted developers and publishers each time the game loads. I remember modifying a file (maybe a .ini) in Borderlands to skip its opening logos so it wasn't so tedious, but I can't remember how this was done, or if the same thing is possible in DE:HR. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks!


Why would my cities go into a demand loop for luxury resources?

Every so often, your cities will want a luxury item and if they get it, they will enter "We love the king day". Is it normal for multiple cities to demand the same resource? 4 of my cities wanted Ivory, so when I got it, they were happy. Then they all wanted gems. So they got gems and were happy. Then for the next few thousand years I was in perpetual king day because they were always demanding gems and ivory, which I had. Is this normal? Is this a glitch/exploit? Ivory and gems were the only thing that they were asking for.


Should I choose 'stress relief' over 'fun'?

If I understand it correctly, only thing stress relief does is to push fun bar up to half point. But, I think items that give fun can push fun bar all the way up, and increasing fun already reliefs the stress. Is there any reason I should invest in stress relief, or is it really as pointless as I think?


Why does my wizard perform way less than its stats

My lvl 53 wizard has 2200 damage. If I am an archon, I will deal 3 times the damage. (6600 per hit) Except, the numbers that pop up on screen are closer to around 1300, 3000. Also I have 2.5% life steal and I have 65 life per hit. If I hit 10 enemies at once I would expect 550 life generated. Say I hit at 2200. 2.5% is 55. Times 10 is 550. Yet I am seeing a mere 100. Also there is a trait whose tooltips say it'll generate 200 hit points when armor is active. I saw that I gain only 125 life. What am I missing? Additional info: My attack per second is 1.1. So actual damage would be 2000. The attack I am talking about is right click archon. That's 300% weapon damage. Note: Attack per second is 1.1 seconds. So conversion to damage per second is not the main problem. I suspect that the issue is monsters have armors and resistant.


What does the timing option do under graphics in DDR?

The timing options allows me to set it from -20 to +20 at intervals of 1. -20, -19, -18...5,6,7,8 Ect. What does this option change? I'm moving it around between songs to try and figure it out but I cannot discern a definite noticeable difference that I can be positive isn't my mind tripping myself out. Note: this option is not to be confused with the with the Arrow Speed Option located under INDIVIDUAL OPTIONS. I'm talking about the Timing Option located under GRAPHIC.


Where's Mr. Scratch coming in?

How do I get to the laboratory for Scent of Incense?

I'm working on the Scent of Incense quest in Flotsam (Chapter 1). I got the real recipe and talked with the scholar. I refused to be blindfolded, so he marked the location of his laboratory on my map. Unfortunately, I can get close to the marker, but I can't seem to find a way to actually reach it. I've gone up and down the path with the two bandit groups (the way to the field full of Kayran mucus. I also tried searching around the other path in the area, which leads to the graveyard area a little ways outside town. All to no avail. How do I get to the laboratory and get my reward?

Mount and Blade Warband bug Steam

I bought mount and Blade Warband today off Steam. Before I bought it iI downloaded the demo but when I got into the menu screen my mouse wouldn't move and I couldn't see my cursor. I thought it was just a demo bug but then I bought the full version and the problem continued. There is no freezing, I just cant get into the game because I don't know where my mouse is located. I managed to find one button and it brought me to the multiplayer set up menu but then I couldn't find any more buttons. I tried redownloading the game three times but it didn't fix the problem. I also tried shutting of my computer and tabbing in and out of the game. I have a pretty good computer and it can handle the game just fine. My mouse is fine. It works with everything else. I think it's a problem with the game. Any help is appreciated


How to find matches on 128ticks server?

Hello :) I recently bought CS:GO and I've experienced a lot of "nohit issues". After playing some games on 128 ticks community servers, i realized the game was way more enjoyable on these servers. I was wondering how can I find a "competitive" match on these kind of servers (IRC chans, websites, private tournaments, ...) ? What I would like to find in an optimal world would be a competitive matchmaking system, as it is implemented right now in CS:GO, but using "better" servers. Have a nice day !

Why is there no sound in SSFIV:AE on the PC?

I have SSFIVAE2012 for PC and when I play there is no sound. When I start the game there is sound for the ads and the intro movie, but once I am in the menu the game is completely silent, except for the Windows Live commands. If someone comes online I get an acoustic beep signal. So the audio still works, but neither game music nor sound effects are played. I checked the volume in the settings and everything seems to be configured correctly. The game was copied from from my laptop as I cannot find my original DVD. But I can login and play online. The issue is there is absolutely no sound.


What exactly is stored on the Xbox console, the hard drive, and Xbox Live?

Please be patient with me. I am a Mom, not a gamer. We have an Xbox 360 S with 250 GB that we are having to exchange for a new one. I have several questions.   1. What is the difference between the 360 S and the 360 E (i believe stands for Elite)? Would this be an "upgrade"?   2. What is stored on the console, the hard drive, and Xbox Live?   3. What needs to be done to save everything so that it can be transferred or re-downloaded to the new Xbox?   4. Is there anything that won't transfer/ be lost? more info... The disc drive is broken on our 360S so the store is exchanging the one we have for a new unit. I don't know if the 360 E is a newer/better model. I was just wondering if it was I was going to ask for the upgrade. But from what you're saying, I should stick with the 360S.. yes?

Is there any way to tell how much XP I've gained so far during a match?

In Heart of the Swarm you gain XP for killing/building units in multi-player matches on Blizzard maps. My understanding is that there is a "soft cap" of 50,000xp per match; actions that give you XP give 100% of their value until you've reached 50kxp during a match, and then they only give 1/3 of their normal value for the rest of the match. If your intent is to maximize the rate at which you gain XP, then it seems like you would want to have matches end right around when you hit the soft cap. Stopping before the soft cap wastes extra time on the period at the beginning of a match where XP gain is slow, and pushing well past the soft cap is of course getting you only 1/3 XP. Is there any way to tell how much XP I've gained so far in a match, so I can decide whether to (for example), drag out a match against AIs?

Can I use a hopper loop as a chunk loader?

This answer claims that hoppers cause chunks to be loaded "at least partially." Using a loop of hoppers, is it possible to keep chunks loaded, specifically for farming, smelting, and mob grinding? What are the limitations to chunk- loading in this way—are _only_ the hoppers loaded? Does the hopper loop need to span multiple chunks, or will a loop in a single chunk work?


The new pet system for the Witch Doctor

have you seen thew new changes done to the Witch Doctor pets? They basically gave them a shield that limits the maximum damage they can take per hit, and this max damage is based on the player's armor and resistances. Click here for more information. I have 2 questions regarding this matter. Do armor and resistances still apply "regularly" to the pets? I know this doesn't have any effect in Act 3 and 4 Inferno since all of the hits will be above the damage cap anyway, but in the earlier acts it would help mitigate the less-damaging hits. What I mean is, if a pet has a damage cap of 5000, and he receives a hit for 1000, is that hit mitigated by armor and resistances? My other question is if pets have different damage caps per resistance? In the explanation Blizz gave it said that pets base their shield off of the player' resistances, but we all know how the player has multiple resistances. My guess is that each resistance gives the pet a different max damage cap value. So if a Witch Doctor has 100 poison resist and 50 cold resist, the pet would have a max damage cap of 200 for poison attacks and a cap of 400 against cold attacks. Anyone have any more info on this?

How do I find what I have left to do?

There are handy numbers showing you the completion percentage for each area in Just Cause 2, but how do I find what I have left to do? I have several areas stuck at just over 90% because I can't track down the last 1-2 things to do. I know the collectibles can be found with the radar signal but if it's a large area it can occasionally be hard to find them. The destructible stuff on the the other hand is _usually_ obvious but can sometimes be hidden away behind trees, etc. Is there a way for me to:   * find out _what_ I have left to complete for an area, and/or   * find out _where_ in an area these things are. Some sort of map upgrade, perchance? **Edit:** Prompted by comments - I am playing on PC so if this is only possible through mods, I'm happy to accept that as an answer.


What are all the Beacon Special Effects?

In FTL, some beacons have some of the following "environmental/special effects":   1. Asteroid Field      * periodically an asteroid "attacks" yours and the enemy ships - causing 1 damage   2. Ion Storm      * half available reactor power (removed randomly if in use)   3. Too Close to the Sun      * periodically the sun flares causing random fires on yours and the enemy ships   4. Planetary Defence Cannons      * periodically the planet's weapons fire into space against yours or the enemy ships, maybe both   5. Ion Event      * random amount of ion damage is applied to several systems on yours and the enemy ships Not sure of the names for #4 and 5 (both added with Advanced Content). Does anyone have more specific information about these beacon modifiers (or any I have missed)?   * How often does each happen?    * How much damage does each do (where applicable)?   * Anything else of note?

How does Baby-Doll Eyes compare to Charm?

Baby-Doll Eyes is a Fairy-type move introduced in Gen. VI that reads as follows: > The user stares at the target with its baby-doll eyes, which lowers its > Attack stat. This move always goes first. The move Charm has been changed from Normal to Fairy in Gen. VI. > The user gazes at the target rather charmingly, making it less wary. This > harshly lowers its Attack stat. Baby-Doll Eyes is 30 PP and Charm is 20 PP. While Charm's "harsh" status is often preferred, I'm unsure whether or not that makes it more or less advantageous than Baby-Doll Eyes's ability to always go first. How do these two moves compare to each other and in what situations would one be more advantageous than the other? In my specific case, I have Charm already on my Eevee, which I would eventually like to evolve into a Sylveon. I only need one Fairy-type move to meet that requirement and having both of them would feel redundant. While I don't plan on doing any competitive play, both regular gameplay tips and any relevant information for competitive play (if there is any to be had) would be appreciated.

ADC Starting Items (since patch 4.10)

With Patch 4.10 Riot nerfed Lifesteal overall. There was also slight nerf (a bit more negative than a rebalance for ADCs) to Dorans Blade.

Can I siege/take county that is under the control of a revolt?

So Norway is defending itself from an internal revolt that has taken over several provinces including Cornwall. I have a De Jure claim on it, but it is currently taken over by the revolt (when I click on the county, the revolt coat of arms is shown in between the castle/city/bishopric ones - and it has the usual striped colours on the map). So my question is (because I am playing Ironman, don't want to risk doing something stupid): Can I declare war on Norway for Cornwall and actually siege and take it, or will the game only allow me to do that once the revolt is crushed?

Problems with PS3 on non-HDMI

My PlayStation 3 has been hooked up on HDMI pretty much since the day I got it. Today, I brought it to a friend's house, who does not have a TV with HDMI. However, the system is not displaying any image or sound over the RCA connection. Presuming all hardware to be good, is there something I'm supposed to do to reset the system so that it can work with a non-HD TV?
