Does race affect damage, assuming otherwise identical weapons and combat skills?

If my opening questions answer is "yes", then wouldn't the +5/+10 skill bonuses races receive only be beneficial at the start of the game? I know the races have individual racial abilities, but most of them are not that great. For every one of the racial abilities, you can get a spell or potion to do the same, _except_ for the +50 magicka the High Elf has. You could have some enchanted armor and/or a potion to increase magicka, but a High Elf could do that plus have its racial +50 on top. Is this correct? (And wouldn't this make High Elves the best race?)

How can I effectively play Siren?

Siren seems to be one of the less common classes and most people don't know much of how to play it aside from "elements and SMGs".   * What do I need to know to be a good Siren?    * What do I need to know about elemental effects?   * Why don't Sirens do as much damage as over classes?   * How should I use Phase Lock?   * What guns should I use?


Did the loot table of Whimsyshire on Hell changed post-Patch 1.0.3?

From the official patch notes: >   * High-end items (items level 61-63) will now drop in all Acts of Inferno > and Acts III and IV of Hell The new approximate drop rates are as follows: >     * Hell - Act III and Act IV >       * iLvl 61: 9% >       * iLvl 62: 1.9% >       * iLvl 63: 0% >     * [...] > I'd like to know if this also affects Whimsyshire: Do mobs there (on Hell difficulty) also drop ilvl 61/62 now? I think so because mobs in Whimsyshire usually seem to drop items of the same quality as Act IV of the chosen difficulty. Otherwise, the entrance to the secret level is located in Act I which isn't listed there. Sadly I can't find this out myself as I only got the Staff of Herding for Normal difficulty till now.


How does weapon power work in FTL

I cannot seem to work out how the power works for weapons in FTL. I picked up a Hull Laser II that consumes 3 power. I already had the Burst Laser II (consumes 1 power). I upgraded my power and got another bar, then upgraded my weapon system so I have 4 bars available in my weapon systems. So I _should_ be able to power up my Burst Laser power 1 and Hull Laser power 3 = 4 but it keeps saying I don't have enough power. I can turn off everything and have plenty of actual power available but i still can't power up the hull laser. I don't get it.


How are sightstones recharged?

Of the few times ive played support and have managed to acquire this item at late game, ive tended to resoucefully use this as much as possible until my team encounters a baron fight/steal situation which demands me to ward the whole area taking up all four of my charges. I never have a chance to actually test this 'ward recharge' myself as the final fight at baron regardless of which team wins ends the game almost every time at that point as a result of a team ace. Im curious what actually qualifies as 'visiting the shop' in order for me to recharge my sightstone. Do i need to recall to the spawnpool to qualify as a recharge? or do I have to physcially open the shop and purchase an item everytime? p.s I am dreadful at support so i tend to avoid it


Mass moving of goods to trade depot

How do I move a massive amount of goods from my stockpiles to the trade depot? I've set it up so that my craftsdwarf does absolutely nothing but produce stone crafts, and now I have an obscene amount of the stuff I need to get rid of. I pull up the "move goods to/from depot" screen, but I still have to manually tag each one to be moved. Is there any faster way to do this?


How can I reach this platform?

I am in the 1970s facility right now right after you hear Cave Johnson talking about combustible lemons :P at the start of a chamber that looks like this: ![screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GqXREl.jpg) So I started exploring and found out that I need to make it to this platform: ![screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OVTA7l.jpg) ...to be able to make use of the steady stream of repulsion gel up there. Only problem is I can't seem to find a single way to get up there. I have tried again and again and again so if anyone knows how to do this please let me know! Thanks!

How to destroy AI ships without weapons?

I'm using the Basilisk, which has a teleporter and boarding drone, but no weapons. How can I manage AI (crew-less) ships? So far I've been teleporting my crew there and back, slowly chipping away their hull by destroying newly- repaired systems, until they only have one hull point left, at which point I activate a boarding drone and hope that it doesn't hit an empty room. If it does, I just jump away. Is there a better strategy?

I played through the tutorial mission on my first game of XCOM, but I started here again when I played a second time. Is there any way to skip over it?


Which weapons can't have legendary modifiers?

As of Terraria 1.1, weapons can have random prefixes that affect their stats. There seem to be legendary attributes that are unambiguously better than all the others:   * _Legendary_ for melee weapons   * _Unreal_ for ranged weapons   * _Mythical_ for magic weapons However, apparently not every weapon can have them. In my experience, tools, despite doubling as melee weapons, can never become Legendary, no matter how much money you throw at the Goblin Tinkerer. I also spent about a fortune on reforging Gungnir without getting anything above Godly. So, which weapons can't have these legendary attributes, and what are _their_ best attributes?


Do customers increase according to how many items you have stocked?

In Tiny Death Star, is the flow of customers into a business related at all to how many products are stocked, or is the flow consistent? If the flow is consistent, and assuming that stocking the three credit item is fast, is there any reason to stock the two and one credit products?


How do I remove the Enderdragon from the normal world?

How do I defeat a Wispmother in Skyrim?

So I was trying to get to Hrogthar from Whiterun (Go to Iverstead, look for giant stairs, follow them), and I ran into a wispmother. I had a housecarl with me, but still died when the Wispmother spawned two other Wispmothers to join her. I'm a level 9 Wood elf specializing in Archery, One-handed Weapons, and Sneaking. What do I need to do to beat her? Spells? (Which ones?) Regular weapons?


How can I win against players wielding a Type 95?

Every time I come up against a player with a Type 95 I get my butt handed to me on a silver platter! How can I beat it? Should I just use a Type 95? Do you think they will nerf it at all?


Where can I find all of the crafting patterns?

Is there a help menu hidden away somewhere in the game that I haven't found which lists the various shapes needed to craft various kinds of weapons, glyphs, and talismans? I know that there were handy diagrams in the books that were used as part of the crafting tutorials at the Sheriff's Office and in the Fortune Tellers House, but is there any way I can pull those up for reference now, long after having done those quests? I can't even go back to those locations and look at the books anymore.


How can I get rid of or purify the Crimson?

So it seems that in some worlds, the Crimson will automatically replace the Corruption. Luckily/Unluckily for me, I seem to have only the Crimson in my world, and no Corruption. That said, how do I get rid of the Crimson stone blocks to get to the Crimson Hearts scattered around the map? I know that for the Corruption, you would need _Purification Powder_ to do so, but to re-add it back in, you would need _Vile Powder_. Does the same hold true for the Crimson? Or is there some other way I must go to break through Crimson rock?


Is there an optimal setup for campfires?

So apparently, a campfire, which requires 20 wood and 1 torch, can increase hp regen when "close" to it. I'm wondeirng if there's an optimal setup for these campfires. It seems that if I stand too close to it, there's little to no hp regen (about same speed as a normal hp regen). If I put 2 or more campfires, can I increase the healing rate?


Change game directory of Minecraft instance with Forge

I would like to make a Minecraft modpack using Minecraft Forge, most likely in Minecraft versions 1.5.2 and older, without using the new Minecraft launcher, since I will be making my own (not cracked, of course). I need it to run the modded Minecraft out of an entirely separate directory from normal Minecraft (Like Tekkit, which runs in `%APPDATA%\\.technic\` instead of `%APPDATA%\\.minecraft\`). Unfortunately, the only way I know of to do this would be to change the %APPDATA% variable on the modpack startup and then restore it to its original value after exiting. This would mean that I cannot have multiple instances of the modpack or Minecraft running at the same time without causing problems with file access and saving. I have also looked at the source code for some modpack launchers, but most of them seem to use some sort of obscure launch method that is inherent in Java or Forge, or so it seems. Is there a way in Java, Batch scripting, Forge config, or otherwise, that I can launch my modded Minecraft in a certain directory without changing my %APPDATA% environment variable globally?


How does shielding at max HP affect Max HP damage?

If you shield yourself while at full HP, your HP bar increases to make space for the gray shield HP. If you get hit by any %HP damage while the shield is up, will it take the shield HP into account when calculating damage? Also, say you use a shield while missing any amount of HP, will % missing/current HP damage take into account only your champion's HP or that plus the shield HP as well?


Ultra modded survival isnt responding

Protect Playstation from Power outage and Surges

I live in a place where occasional power outages occur. And on experience I have had one PS3 broken after a power outage without using any UPS or AVR. Now that I will be getting a PS4, will a power supply with 325W be able to support the PS4? The UPS also has a power surge protection and may I ask will this be enough and is it a good fit for the PS4 or should I get a higher one. The brand specifically I'm planning on buying is this APC BX625 or this one APC BR500 CI-AS 500VA.


Do I need to keep paying to play online content?

Do I need to keep paying after I brought the original CD of Starcraft 2? I heard that the online part isn't free, is it payed per hour or month or is it free? Do I need a "Premium account" or something like it? If you could provide some info about what happen after you buy the original CD? How does the online multiplayer system of starcraft 2 works?? I mean, free accounts or pay per hour system. EXTRA: Is Steam related to this or not?

When is the "lock-in" point for the Diana Allers romance?

Generally, in Mass Effect, you're limited to monogamous romance. However, Diana Allers seems (from what I've read) to be a little unique.   * The Mass Effect Wiki entry for Diana Allers notes that she does not become a "committed partner".   * The Mass Effect Wiki entry on Romance does not include a "lock in" point for the Diana Allers romance. As it is now, I've done a bit of mostly harmless flirting with her up to (and including) the second interview - the one where she says she might follow me home like a lost puppy or something. However, my end goal for this particular version of Commander Shepard is to be with Liara. **IMPORTANT NOTE:** I'm not seeking to actually _romance_ both characters - i.e.: reach the final love scene or establish a permanent relationship with both. I've just been perhaps a little too friendly with one person than I should have, while I'm intending to pursue another. Have I gone too far with Diana for me to have a successful romance with Liara, or is there actually no point of no return (besides the final romance scene) with Allers like there is with the others?


What are the rules about playing words which are inside already-played words? In the image below, a player couldn't play "Cabbage", because "Cabbages" which was already played.

But then why was "Campers" allowed after "Scampers"? ![Letterpress Played Words screenshot showing "Scampers" and then "Campers" played.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/y9xOj.png)


How can I use a custom resolution?

I have installed Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 from the Command & Conquer: The First Decade bundle, and would like to run it in either a window mode (as it doesn't seem to recover very gracefully from `ALT`+`TAB` or a custom widescreen resolution. The resolutions the game supports by default are;   * 640x480   * 800x600   * 1024x768 Ideally if I'm running it fullscreen I'd want to use 1920x1080 but if I can run it window mode than any reasonable resolution will be fine. I have noticed that there is a resolution fix available, and also apparently passing a `-win` command line parameter to RA2.exe will run the game in window mode, but the version of The First Decade that is sold on Origin launches everything via a RALauncher.exe, which doesn't allow for either of these to work, and running RA2.exe or Yuri.exe directly simply results in Origin opening. How can I use a custom resolution in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2?


How to criticize a teammate?

Several friends and I have been playing more competitively in StarCraft 2. Unfortunately, we all have our issues, but in an effort to try to better ourselves, our MMR, and move up in the ladder, we're trying various things to help. This has risen a big question which I have run into multiple times over the years. How best to criticize a teammate? There are obviously wrong ways and right ways, but it often seems that there are more wrong ways than right with some people. I know when I used to play Quake 3 and UT2k4 competitively many times the people I competed with would get downright offended at the slightest criticism. What kind of tips and suggestions do you have concerning giving your fellow teammates advice?


Legendary items that grant a percent based damage increase

I recently found the Legendary wand Starfire, which has one of its fixed attributes always roll as 10-15% more damage. Which other legendary weapons in Diablo 3 have similar %age based boost, and do all of them have the possibility to spawn with a socket? Are there non- weapon legendaries that have a percent-based damage boost?


Can I unlock samson by ignoring two treasure rooms on the same floor?

Unlocking the new Samson character requires one to "pass on 2 treasure rooms". I've recently started the game only to encounter an extra large version of the basement (the level I was on said "Basement XL"), in which there are two treasure rooms. Would ignoring both these rooms and moving on to the next level allow me to unlock Samson?


How do I transfer my Pokémon?

How is the inventory of a spouse's shop determined?

Since I married Mjoll the Lioness recently she's set up shop in my home and it seems like the merchandise she sells varies greatly depending her current location/actual inventory. I traded her things like dragon scales/materials and checked her shop to find those materials listed there as well. If this is the case, I guess my real question is are the items that are listed in her store **_my_** items? and will they ever be sold or "disappear" somehow without my consent or knowledge? I really don't want to find out that valuable items/weapons/armor I spent a long time acquiring ended up being the "deal of the week." Are items in my spouse's shop mine and will they ever be sold against my will?


Is it possible to kill NPC in Dark Souls?

In _Demon's Souls_ it was possible to kill all the NPCs, and I had to take great care not to kill them by mistakes (the R2 button having a tendency to get pressed whenever I put down my controller). And if you did hit a NPC even by mistake, he will turn hostile for the whole play-through. As _Dark Souls_ is a spiritual successor to _Demon's Souls_ , I'm wondering whether the developer kept that element of gameplay. Is it possible to kill the NPCs in _Dark Souls_? Do I need to take care not to hurt them? If they are killable, what is the impact on the game, apart from their disappearance? I could try to hit one of them, but as the game autosave after almost every modification of the world or character state, I prefer not to risk it.

Super Street Fighter 4 for PC runs very slowly

I recently installed SSFIV on my new PC. It runs extremely slowly. What can I do to fix this?

It's silly how fast my PC loads required game resources and I don't have enough time to read those loading screen hints/tips about in-game items.

What are all the tips that can be seen during the loading screen of Dark Souls?

Do weapons have level-dependent unique item stats? When to pick them up?

I am doing a quest line in hope of obtaining a nice unique weapon. **Spoiler below:** > The nightingale bow from the thief guild quest line This is an awesome piece of equipment for my type of character and kind of want to use it indefinitely. My worry is that I am only level 26 and the item will become useless later on in the game. I believe _unique item's stats vary depending on character level_ , which leads me into thinking that I should probably wait until I am a higher level to pick it up. I won't be using smithing of any type to be able to upgrade it. Is there any way I can make the item viable at later levels or should I just wait till my character is stronger to pick it up?


How do grimoires work?

I understand that grimoires give me access to skills that a character wouldn't normally have, but I don't really understand how combining them works, or what the "equipment bonus" does.

What should I be doing if I want to take a picture of the current screen?


Toxins: Make Bombs, and...?

So I've recently been learning the ins and outs of Toxins, having made my first successful bomb recently (Which I failed to properly use to defend the station, of course...), and now...well, now I'm wondering if there's anything else that Toxins is really supposed to do. It seems like its well-stocked with a variety of gasses beyond O2 and Plasma, yet I can't think of what use any of it could be beyond building more bombs. I'm also a bit perplexed because, in one round when I was RD, the guy in Toxins was complianing to RnD that they 'weren't researching fast enough', even though near as I can tell there isn't actually anything that is affected by RnD in Toxins. Is bomb making pretty much all you do? Or is there some other duty I'm not realizing? What are the uses for the other gas canisters you have in storage? Do some servers offer different things for the Toxins department to do.


Low/muffled voices in Ground Zeroes?

I just bought a PS4 and started playing Ground Zeroes on it. All voices sound like they are in the background, or feel muffled. I can barely hear them. How can I fix this?

Is there any penalty for getting a miss (False Positive) in Bit.Trip Core?

The principle gameplay of Core involves firing a quad-directional laser by pressing a direction and a button simultaneously. If you hit a beat, it gets cleared, you get score, etc. It is also possible to shoot the laser when there _aren't_ beats in that direction, which will cause "Miss" to appear. Does getting a miss in this instance (when there are no beats to hit, rather than _actually_ "Miss"-ing a beat) have any effect on your combo, counter, or affect SUPER mode?

In Minecraft 1.0, is sleep changed to not require everyone to sleep?

In the beta-versions of Minecraft that I played (up to 1.8.1, I only dabbled with 1.9), everyone on the server had to go to sleep in order for the game to skip ahead to the next day. In 1.0 final, we noticed that when one of us went to sleep, the server skipped ahead to daytime even though the other person was still mining. Is this a feature (so that we can rely on it), or is it a bug?

Can you see if a game has trading card support on its 'Library Page'?

Right now on the Featured Items page of the store if a game has Card support it has a sash over the top left corner that says 'Cards'. On your profile, the badges section is a list of all your games that have badge/card support. But at the moment I don't see anything on the game Library page in any of the 3 views (Detail, List, or Grid) that has any indication of card/badge support. Is there an individual marker in any Library view (similar to the Cloud in List view that shows Steam Cloud support) to see if a game has trading card support?

Do wolves prevent hostile mobs from spawning?

In _Minecraft_ , because of the limit to how many mobs can spawn and be in the same area, if you are carrying around, say 20 wolves with you, would that prevent other mobs from spawning? You could travel at night without worry of dying from hostile mobs, though the wolves may push you off a cliff.

How does Terrorblade's Sunder ability work?

How does exactly Terrorblade's Sunder ability works? To be precise **I would like to know what will happen if Terrorblade has X% of its health and enemy hero has Y% and Terrorblade casts his ability on the enemy? For all possible X and Y values.** The reason I am asking is that I do not quite understand the limitations of the ability. It is said in gamepedia that:   1. Some hit points must remain.   2. Minimum Health: 25/20/15% Does it mean that after casting the ability on other hero the hero will have at least 25/20/15% of health left? What will be health of Terrorblade in this case?   Or does it mean that you can not cast the ability when Terrorblade has less than 25/20/15% health? Or something else?

Is disenchanting an item the only way to learn enchantments?

If I'm trying to learn a rare or powerful enchantment do I just have to be lucky enough to find a weapon or armour piece that has that specific enchantment? Seems like that could be annoying and very time-consuming if I'm trying to learn all of them. Is there not an equivalent of spell tomes for enchantments, or some other method?


choosing attributes when leveling

I have a thief/archer that so far has nearly even distribution of attributes (magicka/health/stamina) at level 16 with stamina slightly lower. So far my reasoning is:   * although I am not primarily a mage, magic drains faster because of my thief armor and I plan to dabble more in illusion   * Stamina lags behind strength because carry capacity is already boosted via thief perks My concern is that this "jack of all trades" mentality will make the game harder in the long run. I have read that later enemies and dragons basically required offensive magic. Should I ease back on magicka and make health my primary stat (1/1.5/1)?


How to change credits to Bux?

I've finished building all levels of the game, so my credits are accumulating all the time, but I don't have much use of them. Since I can not build more levels now.

Where do confiscated items go?

After getting caught stealing a few things in skyrim, I noticed that most of the stolen items got confiscated. However, when I went back to the original place of the item, it was gone. So my question is, does the confiscated items get stored somewhere specific, or are there no way of getting them back?


How can I get the least disapproval from Alistair after saving Connor?

I used Jowan's ritual to save Connor, and naturally Alistair is unhappy about it. Off we go to camp, and he confronts me. I've run the conversation tree twice, once getting -24, and once getting -23. What's the least amount of damage I can do to my relationship with Alistair in this conversation, and which options do I choose to get there?


How to change the keybindings in Rayman 2

I've just bought Rayman 2 from GOG, and the controls are unintuitive, to say the least (e.g. a:=jump, space:=attack). Is there any way to change these keybindings, so that I can get more natural controls? Thanks


What is the Font Used in Pokemon Conquest?

What's the font used in Pokemon Conquest's dialogue? More specifically, since I assume it's some proprietary font compiled in the game, where have I seen it before? It looked extremely familiar as soon as I saw it. Here's an example: ![pokemon conquest dialogue](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AoqsU.jpg) My first thought was Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I compared the letterforms, and they do seem to be mostly similar but with some slight differences. Even though the differences are subtle, the _look_ and _feel_ of the fonts looks visibly different, so I'm wondering if there's another game that I'm thinking of. **Final Fantasy Tactics Advance** : The lowercase `a` and `t` look identical. But the tail of the FFTA `e` curves up whereas the tail of the Pokemon `e` lies flat; the FFTA `i` has a very subtle serif, whereas the Pokemon `i` does not. ![Final Fantasy Tactics Advance](http://lparchive.org/Final-Fantasy-Tactics- Advance/Update%2034/94-capture_29102010_223847.png)


Car stats for NFS: Hot Pursuit?

Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the cars and their stats (both racers and police cruisers)? I'm mainly interested in seeing the stats that are presented when you select the cars in the time before a race, but if the list includes overall health/offensive strength that would be awesome.

What are the differences between the difficulty levels in the Campaign and Skirmish modes?

What are the differences between the Standard, Moderate and Hard difficulty levels in the Campaign mode? What about between Easiest, Standard, Moderate, Hard, and Hardest in the Standard/Multiplayer Game (Skirmish) mode? If the AI changes its behavior or strategy depending on the difficulty level, please include that info. Also, does the AI "cheat" (by giving itself additional resources, etc.)? If yes, what cheats does it do and at what difficulty level(s) does it cheat? EDIT: In this answer to my question below, most of the questions have already been answered. That leaves the question, " _What are the differences between the Standard, Moderate and Hard difficulty levels in the Campaign mode?_ " to be answered or expounded upon.

Sould I get a PSX or PS2 for playing the classic WipeOut?

I still have my original boxes and discs of WipeOut 2 and Wip3Out: Special Edition, and dying to play these games again (not the newer ones on PS3 or Vita). Would it be better to buy a PlayStation 2 instead of a PS1? I'm guessing the games will be 100% compatible right? How about the connection to an LCD screen? I have an old BenQ FP93V lying around with D-Sub and DVI connectors, is it easier to get adapters for the PS2 or the PSX?

What does "Most Score By" mean at the end of a round in BF:BC2?

Here is a random screen from Internet with online match result in Bad Company 2: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/lSeNX.jpg) One would though that "Most Score By" would simply be a kill counter for this round for the best weapon, but even on this screen numbers clearly don't add up. What does number "27" mean here? I've been trying to figure out mystery of this section since the release date, and still cannot see any connections. Maybe it is just a bug?

Who knows Dark Magic?

When playing _Harry Potter Years 5-7_ , I noticed there are things only Wizards with Dark Magic can interact with. I figure these are things I will have to go back and do later, as right now I don't have anyone in my party that can use Dark Magic. Which characters in the game use Dark Magic? Who is the first one I can unlock, so that I can go back and get whatever it is from these areas?


My wife is stuck in a wall, can I save her?

My wife, Lady Gray, is "stuck in a wall" in Fairfax Gardens, our Marital Home. I can't actually see her, but the glowing trail leads me to the guard house (on the left when facing Fairfax manor) when I set my family as my target. Is there any hope? I've started a new approach. I'm slowly trying to make my wife less happy with me. I've reduced her allowance. Soon I'll try to downgrade the furniture (I have never tried to do this in Fairfax Castle). I don't want to go too fast and just find her gone. I'll post my progress.


Does deck choice (basic or constructed) have any impact on who you are matched with in Play mode?

When in Play mode, one has the option of using "Basic Decks" or "Custom Decks", presuming you have constructed one. Does this option match you only with other players that are using the same deck mode? (Likewise, does Casual vs. Ranked have any bearing?)


Can anyone suggest tricks for targeting specific units in a big army?

Often the engagement of 2 big armies is just a mass of graphics. Sometimes though you know something is coming. Like a Ghost with an EMP, or a High Templar with Psionic Storm, etc. In these engagements you'd obviously want to do what you can to kill these units before they get a chance to do their damage. Any suggestions?

My "damage" stat bar is flashing. What does it mean?

When I open the menu to look at my stats, the bar that shows damage is "flashing" (well, it looks more like it keeps increasing from "0" to "max" over and over again at high speed, hence "flashing"). What does it mean? It happened before, and I think it has something to do with the Bloody Lust and technology 2. Items I have atm when the bar is flashing: (Playing as Eve) Dead bird, Whore of Babylon, Small Rock, Chocolate Milk, Technology 2, Jesus Juice, Stem Cells, Bloody Lust, Cat-o-nine-tails, Lil Chub, Grade 1 Cube of meat, Ouja board, Toothpicks


Can I use an Elecom game controller with Batman: Arkham City?

I am playing _Batman: Arkham City_ on a Windows 7 PC, purchased using Steam. The keyboard controls seemed less than ideal so I thought I'd bite the bullet and get a USB game controller. At the store, they looked to be all the same, in that there was no indication that one brand or another would only work with certain games or anything like that. They all promoted plug and play capability and Windows 7 support. I selected an Elecom wireless game controller, because wireless seems like a nice idea. However, now that I'm in front of my computer, and I've installed the drivers for the controller from the supplied CD, _Batman: Arkham City_ seems not to acknowledge it. I now realize that the controls section in the game settings look fairly specific to a an Xbox controller. So... did I just waste thirty bucks? Or can I get _Batman: Arkham City_ to work with my new game controller?


What happens when you can't pay your debts?

I usually run a good fiscal policy, so my gold is always positive. I've read somewhere that if you get to 0 gold, units start to sell themselves. Are there any other repercussions? What happens if you have a trade agreement with someone and you need to pay them X gold per turn, and you just don't have the money to give? Do they still get the money? If an AI civ runs out of money but still needs to pay you, do they still get the money? I often see AI civs with 0 gold and a deficit, but they still seem to be able to field an army. How can that be? Is this behavior exclusive to AI civs?


Yesterday, when I was playing as Polynesia, I tried to understand if Ironclads will be stronger for Polynesia than for other civs. On the one hand Kamehameha has the wayfinding trait, allowing all units to enter coast and ocean tiles from the get-go. On the other hand, the Ironclad explicitly cannot enter ocean tiles, and unlike the Trireme, no technology can change that. These two facts appear to contrast with each other. Can a Polynesian Ironclad enter ocean tiles?

How can I tell what kind of dragon I'm fighting?

According to this question, Dragons are vulnerable to different types of damage: > What are Dragons most vulnerable to?

What happens to DLC missions in the second playtrough

I just recently started Borderlands 2, and I haven't played the first one, so I am a bit confused by the second playthrough. I have searched and read about it, but I am not quite sure I fully understand it. Maybe you guys can help out. I want to get 'the most' out of the game, so good loot / xp levels. From what I understand I can play the game in 3 stages: 1) First, I do all the story missions and side missions. I can also do all the DLCs, since I have the season pass. All missions, including DLC missions will reset in the next playthrough. 2) When I have done all of that I can now activate the second playthrough called TVHM. In this mode all the missions will reset. So the main mission resets, the side missions, AND the DLC? In this mode I must only do the main storyline again, and leave all the other missions open. 3) When I beat the storyline the second time I can now do all the side missions again, and do all the DLC's again. Now every mission I do will scale to my level. This is also the mode where the loot is the best because I will prob be lvl 50 already. It will also be really hard. * * * Am I correct here, or did I miss anything? I am not sure if the DLCs reset also.

Difference between 'sheet DPS' and 'profile DPS'

Does boosting have a greater effect within it own race?

In the game there are three races (Monster, Nature and Robot) and all three have different boost eggs.

How do I get Burnout Paradise's "Boosting Around the World" in-game achievement?

I'm having a having a hard time getting the x20 boost chain for the _Boosting Around the World_ in-game achievement in _Burnout Paradise_. I've tried boosting while drifting in circles. I've tried driving around the quarry. I've tried the Lone Peaks Stock Car Track. I even tried to drive around on North and South Mountain Rd. I can usually get up to x8 in all these places before stalling out. (And to be honest, it feels like the game is forcing my boost chain to stop.) What's the best way to get this?

What does Betapropin do?

I'm on day 3 of the Die2nite beta, and I noticed that a "Betapropin tablet 5mg" has appeared in my inventory as a professional tool. The mouse-over description in the "Use an object from my rucksack" section states "this small tablet has a somewhat surprising effect..." What does this tablet do? I'm guessing since it's a drug, it will refill my AP. What is the "surprising effect"? Does it being a professional tool make it special in any way?


How can I successfully evade the Police at higher wanted levels?

I've been having some trouble evading the police when they start calling the helicopters out to spot me. Two stars and below it's pretty easy to flee in a car and either avoid the cops altogether or duck into some alleyway until they lose you. Helicopters however, always seem to spot me when there's something (a building, a container, etc) between me and the helicopter. Sneaking or going into cover doesn't seem to help. So what's my best bet for evading the all-seeing helicopter at higher wanted levels?


What's the easiest way to map the universe?

I want to deploy a satellite network through the universe, but to do that I first need to discover all the sectors. Is there an easy way to do that?

Can I befriend pirates?

Pirates are a nuisance - they blow up your satellites, they harass your universal traders that dunderheadedly fly to that Bliss Place L in the middle of Pirate Central, they break your SETA by their doomed assaults on your ship and, worst of all, they refuse to sell you Plasma Burst Generators. Can I befriend the bastards somehow, so that they stop doing all of that?

Are there manuscript pages in areas where Taken spawn endlessly?

I really enjoy finding manuscript pages while playing Alan Wake, and I do my best not to miss any of them. What I haven't been able to bring myself to do is thoroughly scan areas where Taken spawn without end (I usually do my best to get out of such areas as quickly as possible). Am I missing out on some manuscript pages this way?


Obtaining the "I Would Have Been Your Daddy" Skull on Halo 3

Best role specific pets for Ranger?

Following on from, this question about sharks!. What pets do Rangers mostly use for the various roles in game? Specifically I'm thinking of things such as,   * Tanking, whist you are ranged - _Bears?_   * Damage, if you are melee or need dmg support - _Devourers?_   * Underwater    * Conditions - _Spiders?_   * Buffs - _Birds?_ So far, I've just been running with two bears as I mostly use ranged damage. Polar Bear and Arctodus which I've found to be excellent tanks. However I've struggled to keep other pets alive during any fights, and even more so underwater. Currently using Ice Drake & Blue Jellyfish. I do understand some pets are amphibious, but it would be nice to get some suggestions on pet combos which match an actual underwater environment, as well as some 'Pure Stats' ideas.

Are there alternate solutions to puzzles in The Cave?

In the Joystiq review of The Cave, there is mention of alternate solutions to the puzzles (emphasis mine): > There is truly unique pleasure in seeing the dark, reprehensible turns each > puzzle takes, and knowing that **an alternate solution exists in there > somewhere. Ron Gilbert assures me there are unselfish ways toward success** > , though I prefer the evil ones. However, I can't find that there actually are unselfish solutions to the puzzles. The only thing I have found is this: > At the very end of the game, you can give the item back to the guy at the > gift shop to get the alternate ending for that character. But that is only at the very end of the game, after you have solved all the puzzles the same selfish way. So, are there really alternate solutions to the puzzles? Taking the Knight for example: > If you return the item at the gift shop at the end of the game, you get the > "good ending" where the princess is saved. But as far as I can tell, the > only way to solve the knight's puzzle is to release the dragon to kill the > princess.

Can I defeat Arino in the game's credits?

I finally got around to beating "Retro game challenge", and the credit screen includes a minigame where you fly a small spaceship on the bottom screen and can shoot energy bolts at Arino, located on the top screen. Arino, in turn, pelts you with various D-pad shaped projectiles. I thought this was just a cute addition, but after hitting Arino enough he changed color and became more agressive, which led me to believe you can actually win this minigame. Is it possible to completely defeat him before the credits are over? If so, what are the effects of such a victory, other than feeling good about yourself?


In what circumstances is the riot shield useful?

Is the riot shield really only useful for team situations where you have one person defending while the other shoots over him? It doesn't seem the riot shield has a lot of benefit other than protecting your back when not equipped and protecting your front against an attacker while someone behind you shoots at them... Is that the case, or are their other benefits?

How can I sleep DS games on the 3DS?

On the DS, you could close it mid-play and pick up where you left off (Sleep Mode). You can also do this on the 3DS, but I have found that some DS games won't sleep properly when played on the 3DS (Yoshi's Island DS comes to mind). Is there a way to make sure games enter sleep mode? I was a little disappointed to be quite a ways through a level, then I put my 3DS in sleep mode, and when I cam back 20 minutes later, the 3DS took me to the Home Screen instead of my game.


Why aren't certain PS3 games available on the Playstation Store?

I wanted to buy Gran Turismo 5 for my PS3, and I realized it is not available on the Playstation Store. Games can be as cheap as half the price of those in regular retailers, and that's why downloading them is an attractive option. Also, saving all the shipping + plastic and paper is ideal, environmentally speaking. Why aren't all games available on the PS Store, then?

How can I get rid of hackers in Halo 1 PC?

I've played Halo 1 PC for a while now. I enjoy playing in CTF and Slayer using the internet. But I've been getting frustrated about people using hacks to kill people easily, or using the hack that makes people shoot the head easier. Even more frustrated when someone uses a hack that makes everyone die in the game and switch teams. Though I don't get as frustrated when someone only gets kills by running over people, or using the banshee way too much, sometimes I feel like they should get out of the game. So I was wondering if there is a way to get rid of these types of players.

What's the best way to kick the ball in Zombie Soccer to score?

I'm referring to a flash game that you can find here. ![alt text](http://i.stack.imgur.com/j22C4.jpg) There is a sort of competition in my class on who can do a better score. Right now, I'm in first position, but they're getting closer. What I know that they don't know is that if you score many times before destroying the zombies, you get your points multiplied by a factor (20 40 80...). The problem is I still can't find a secure position to get at least 3 or 4 goals before the Zombie Keeper starts moving towards me. Do you have some advice?

Disconnect by Server: Nope!

I was playing on my Bukkit Minecraft server, testing a new plugin for sitting in chairs. I right click on the chair (A stair block), and am teleported to the stair block. I right click another block (That's how you get out) and am kicked, with the server telling my "Disconnected by Server: Nope!" When getting out, I'm supposed to teleport to the block that I right-clicked on, but instead am kicked. I don't have any anti-cheats/anti-hack plugins. Could somebody explain to me what is happening, and how to prevent/fix it?


What is Scan-Move?

From wikia: > Scan-Move is a command available to units without an attack, such as high > templar and the medivac dropship. The hotkey used is A, the same as the > attack command. Using scan-move "orders selected units to move to the target > area or follow the target unit. Scan-Moving units will not engage enemies." I don't understand this description. What's the difference between scan-move and normal move? If I scan-move a high templar ... what will he do when he runs into enemies? Also, now that I think of it - assume I have a group of units selected, where some have an attack and some don't (e.g. Zealots and High Templars). What actually happens when I hit A-click, and they run into some enemies?


How to spawn Minecraft villages?

How do villages spawn in minecraft pocket edition? I would also like to know what I need to do to spawn a village, e.g., if there is any specific biome it has to be in.


How do I mine gems and how do I build?

I have completed the first part of the game and I am now in the last cell of the map, where you can continue to the world map. I have explored around 98% and scouted 100%. I also killed the Boss where you are told to turn around after finding new Spells. Then I found the settlement. My question is: **How can I get those colored gems in the dungeons and how exactly do I build?** I am a bit confused about that atm :). Thanks for any answer.

Turning off +6 enchantment global message in Tera?

Is there an easy way to be notified of a greenlit game showing up in the store?

When I find an interesting game on Steam Greenlight, I always make sure to follow it. For some reason, I was under the impression that I would surely be notified in some manner when and if the projects I followed make it to the Steam store. Turns out I was quite wrong. Seeing how its a shame for me to not notice when things I actually wanted to buy are available for buying, I was wondering if there is any way to receive such notifications in a manner that would be easy to notice (something akin to the emails I get when games on my wishlist go on sale comes to mind).


Can I see individual achievement progress for Half Life 2 Episode 2?

I've started working on the Get Some Grub achievement, it requires me to kill 333 antlion grubs throughout the first 2 chapters. From reading some guides I gather I should be able to track my progress towards the goal, checking that I didn't miss anything. But I can't see any progress for this achievement.


What is the number of different magic properties that a hellfire ring can have?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How are random properties chosen for items in Diablo 3? I am trying to figure out the odds of getting a specific hellfire ring. I know that it gets 4 random magic properties. I was wondering how many magic properties there are that can be on the hellfire ring. I found this article but was wondering if there is a smaller more concise list. http://www.diablofans.com/topic/41045-spoiler-diablo-iii-item- affixes/#entry863922 Thanks!


Blocking unarmed

I've got a question about the Khajiit's unarmed attacking ability. Somehow, and I don't know how, I was able to attack unarmed one-handed, attacking with the right hand while being able to block with the left hand. It surprised the heck out of me, because I didn't know I could do it. When he blocked, he closed his left hand over his right fist and took the block with his forearm, I guess. Right now, he is wearing steal guantlets, but I don't know if that matters. What that a happy glitch that will never happen again, or is there a way I can get that back, because that totally rocked!


Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Reflex Edition difficulty setting stays the same

I have Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Reflex Edition for the Wii.   * I beat the game on recruit.    * I beat it again on regular. But when I go to mission select, it says I beat it on recruit. Aftermath and The Coup De Al-Elasad say regular, but not the others. Why is this?


Can I save the claptrap in the cage?

![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rVQpZ.jpg) Apparently I must save this little fella before I can get the Old Haven SDU. But how?

What does "console port" mean in relation to games?

I read some reviews about Crysis 2 and some people complain that it's not a great PC game because it's a _console port_. I'm trying to figure out (without success) what _console port_ means. Of course I know that most games nowadays are targeted for as many platforms as possible and consoles are far away from being the best platform for FPS games (it's difficult to beat the accuracy of the mouse). So, I can't see Crysis 2 being very different from any old "PC" only FPS such as Quake 2 or Medal of Honor 1 & 2, which had a linear story and were just FPS games.

Does Phantasm Stack?

The rune for Spirit Barrage, Phantasm, deals damage over time in a small area of effect. If I overlap them and an enemy is standing on 2 or more at once, does it take double, triple, etc. damage? Or can an enemy only be affected by a single Phantasm at a time?


Why do my units created pre-optics not get embarkment?

I've noticed a recurring problem whenever I play Civ V. I usually send out one or two Scouts to explore and upon researching Optics, I find that these Scouts don't receive the Embarkment promotion so they can't cross sea tiles. However, every Scout that I create after researching Optics has Embarkment. My work-around thus far has been just deleting the Scouts I have out to be replaced by new Scouts. Is there something I'm doing wrong such that my Scouts aren't receiving the Embarkment promotion or is this "by design"?

Cannot get past start screen in Spore

I just installed the game Spore. When I first dowloaded it off of Steam and updated it I thought it would work fine; I did my "homework" by searching in forums and such about reviews of the game so I went ahead and bought Spore & Spore galactic adventures. It started off fine but then all that was on the screen was a frozen galaxy. After waiting for about thirty seconds I tried clicking all over the screen and found out that you can drag the camera view around to get different perspectives, so I closed the page and tried to open it again and I also tried restarting my computer. That did not help so I went on Google and searched "Spore starting screen glitches", ect., all to no avail. I run it on Windows Vista and I have a 2.50 GHz processer. How can I make it work?

What music discs are available in Single Player Survival?

This wiki article states two different answers in two different locations and coupled with my in game results has me completely confused. Specifically it says in one place: > After the 15 December 2011 snapshot (11w50a), all discs except "11" could be > dropped by Creepers. And in another place it says: > Currently, the other nine music discs can not yet be obtained without > Creative mode, SMP Server commands or external tools. I, myself, in single player survival can only seem to get two discs; CAT and 13.   Are these the only discs avalable in SPS, or is my luck just horrible? (out of 14 successfull Skeleton vs Creeper attempts, I've still only gotten those two discs.


Why is Roller Coaster Tycoon displaying a black screen on startup with Windows 7 64-bit?

I know there is a similar question to this one, but the person asking that question was running the game on a virtual machine on a Mac. I'm currently trying to run it on an HP Pavilion dv7 quad core with a Radeon 6770M graphics card and a Core i7 processor. I've tried different compatibility settings, making it administrative on opening, and all the other recommended stuff for getting this program to work; nothing has worked. I can hear the music, but I can't see any of the opening animations. And when I ALT-TAB out and go back in, the title screen is static and in black and white. Can anyone help?

Weapon guide for The Last Story

I'm having some trouble with planning out what weapons to upgrade in The Last Story for Wii. What typically happens is I spend a bunch of money upgrading an item to +5, use it for one dungeon, then find a better one...but it is only better if I spend a mountain upgrading it to +5. I'm currently at about chapter 15, and worried I'm wasting lots and lots of gold. I just finished equipping everyone with Gladiators, Para Axes and +5 daggers, then found I could buy Enchanters and Knight's Swords. Is there a guide on when to buy new weapons, and when to build up money? I'm always worried that if I don't buy new weapons now I won't get a chance to later. Should I just keep using my current gear until I find weapons I don't need to upgrade so much?

Skyward Sword Floria Waterfall Dowsing

I've defeated Ghirahim and am just messing around before fighting Demise and am not in hero mode. While exploring Floria Waterfall, which has the entrance to the Ancient Cistern, I was dowsing for rupees and the beige statue farthest from the bird statue on that side kept making noise. It's the statue that's rectangular on bottom and has an oval on top. There are four in total, two near the bird statue and two on the other side near the ancient cistern entrance. I have used every item I have on the statues and nothing has extracted the rupees from either item. I also used the beetle the pick up those yellow things dangling from the trees and the only thing that popped out was what was in the yellow thing. Nothing from the statues but the dowsing keeps going crazy on the statues. I already got the gold rupee up top so it isn't that. Also, an eye of the frog head entrance to the cistern is dusty but nothing I do will clean it off and I can't get up there to blow it. Anyone do this or can help?


Can you work out the trial of wits without asking for a hint?

POSSIBLE SPOILERS **Question** Is it possible to work out the first and third trials of wits (part of the Temple of Trials - see background for details) without resorting to trial-and- error, or the _other method_? _Hover for "other method":_ > `The other method is asking the Monitor Bird for a hint` Especially for the third trial, where there are a number of symbols with lines joining them up... I spent a long time looking in my wizarding companion at the various signs available to each familiar. I even got to the point of drawing matrices of possible symbols and then working through the permutations that each familiar had signs for... After nearly two hours of struggling, I eventually gave up and resorted to the _other method_ , after which I was able to solve the puzzle in under a minute. But the solution seems completely random! Is it possible to work this puzzle out? Is there a viable explanation for the solution, or is the _other method_ actually the only method? **Background** _Hover for details on location of this puzzle in the game:_ > `The Temple of Trials is situated North East of Summerlands South and you go > there after freeing Rashaad's daughter, Esther, from brokenheartedness.` There are three trials, of which one is the Trial of Wits. The trial of wits is made up of three rooms. The second room is easy: _Hover for second room solution:_ > `The second room is simply a picture puzzle - move the blocks to the > appropriate place on the underlying picture so it doesn't look like there > are any blocks at all.` The first room has a maximum of 24 possible unique combinations, so it can be worked out through brute force if necessary. However, as this is a trial of wits, I assume there must be a way to work out the puzzle without resorting to trial-and-error? The third room has a maximum of 5,040 possible unique combinations and cannot therefore be worked out through a brute force method in _reasonable_ time.


How do I make large bezier curves in Minecraft?

How can the F-35 be used in Battlefield 3?

Apart from the obvious “giving the SU-35s a bunch of kills”, how can the F-35s be used effectively? They turn too slowly to reliably engage the SU-35s, and when they are hovering they aren't maneuverable enough to engage land units (engineers or armoured).


Do I need to be worried about selling quest-crucial items?

I was going through my inventory to sell to a merchant and ran across some items that sound like they might have been quest related items, but I don't remember: People's Journals, Warsworn Ranks, Graveside Letter, etc. Do I need to be worried about potentially selling something that I would need to complete a quest?

Why is my character suddenly attacking really slowly?

My character is performing his (visual) attacks much slower than before. I'm pretty sure it also affects the dps. With the following equipment/skill set:   * Dagger (2att, speed: very fast)   * Chainmail (4def)   * Defensive Lesser Ring of Power (1att, 1def)   * Resourceful (extra food)   * Observant (more gold from loot)   * Touch (increase health) I'm moving about 3-5 times slower than my follower with a Hammer (speed: slow) and a Full Shield (speed: slow). I would estimate that my hero is performing an attack about every 1.5s. I also dropped everything I was wearing and went back to just the Main Gauche, with no effect. Any idea what might cause this? I know that in the beginning, I thought I had to click per blow, so I hammered the right mouse button. Then I figured out that apparently, I just have to assign a target and then the attack will repeat automatically, so I'm just 'marking' targets. Going back to repeatedly pressing that button doesn't seem to help either, though.


Where to find "prefs" for Beat Hazard?

An update for Beat Hazard was released a couple of minutes ago: http://store.steampowered.com/news/4842/ Which my Steam client has rushed out to download, and, presumably, install. The thing is, I can't figure out where they've put the features they're listing there. (I really want the "remove quit screen" one :P) When I go to the "options" page in the main menu, the only sections are "Audio & VSync", "Screen Resolution", and "languages", none of which seems relevant. Is there some bonus hidden settings page somewhere? Or maybe a config file I don't know about? Or has the patch just not been installed, whatever Steam thinks?

How to use buildings on the battle map?

So when you go into a battle, there's these nice big buildings that you can send your troops into to occupy and use as cover. However in my experience, they seem to be _totally useless_ (and in fact hurt my chances at victory), so I assume I must be doing something wrong. I order my unit (in this most recent specific example, it was a garbage firelock-armed mob) to occupy a building. The troops march in, take up positions by the windows, and then when the enemies approach they smash out said windows, fire, and... then they just stand there. They don't even all fire. Most of them just stand around like they're having lunch or something, admiring the view. The ones that do shoot, don't appear to reload. Occasionally, ordering them to attack causes them to shuffle about the building, concentrating on the side nearest the enemy unit, so they can all look out the windows and wave at the army of angry Poles, while two or three of the soldiers already over there take potshots. Can anyone help? What am I doing wrong? Or is this just another unresolved bug?


Mixing succession laws- is there a downside to this?

After much diplomacy, war and diplomatic wars I've reunited France and Aquitaine. All my land is in those kingdoms. France has Primogeniture sucession. Aquitaine has Gavelkind. I personally control the Duchy of Normandy- most of my demesne holdings are there. I set Aquitaine as my primary title. This means inheritance works as follows:   * All titles in Aquitaine are divided among my heirs. In practice, this means my first child receives the Kingdom of Aquitaine. That's it because there aren't any more titles.   * All titles in France are Primogenitured to my eldest child. This appears to give me all the bonuses of Gavelkind except without dividing my lands on death- it might be too good to be true. Aside from this being a bit cheesy, is there a downside to this I'm missing?


Can't access Xbox LIVE in GTA IV

I have an xbox360 and every time I play Grand Theft Auto IV and the go to multiplayer, it says "your gamer profile does not have the correct permissions to access Xbox LIVE functionality". I have tried changing my privacy settings to adult, but it sti, as far as I'm aware. What's going on?


What is the native resolution for this game?

The game on launch gives me a number of resolution options, but it seems that none of them actually matches the in-game artwork. This leads to really ugly results. 720×576 is perhaps the closest I can get to something that isn't _too_ awful, but it's still pretty bad (look at the width of the stems of the "Edition" word.) 1152×864 is still off and 1176×664 is _almost_ tolerable. What _is_ however the perfect resolution (and multiples thereof) to play this game at and how can I set it if it isn't one of the defaults? (Is there one at all?)


Level 6 - Getting past the drone

How does healing prioritize for a Templar?

So, I like to play the cleric/priest/healer in most games. When I got into ESO, I picked up a templar kitty and started to play. However, I noticed a glaring problem to my previous games and the way healing works: there is no targeting of allies. In most MMO's, I have to target a fellow player and then hit my heal ability. Now, with the one focused healing ability I have, it looks like it target's what's under my aiming crosshair. Or, does it? How does the healing target the player that it ends up healing?

Minecraft starts lagging after a while

I have a decent PC, with an intel i3 CPU, 3 GBs of RAM and a 1 GB GDDR3 128-bits graphics card. I can run MC just fine, getting over 60 fps most of the time. I noticed that when the memory usage of MC gets close to 1 GB, it started to freeze for 2 seconds then coming back and repeating the cycle. Only solution I seemed to find was restarting the game itself. My guess is that after going through all those landscape elements, the used memory starts to build up and the game chokes (does that make any sense?).

How to handle people camping your generator?

I've just come out of a terrible streak of terrible games where one side simply camped en-masse the other side's generators while people simply flew in, grabbed the flag and flew away. Without base defenses up classes like pathfinders don't have too much of a hard time simply going around in circles from flagpole to flagpole I imagine. Since you can pick what team to be on and everybody tried to be on that one same side, we ended up taking 17 flags in a row across four different maps before I decided to spend my time otherwise. What ended up happening is simply invisible dudes using sticky explosives around the generator. Technicians' sentries won't target them, technician's SMGs are no match for their explosion spam and even when I switched to more powerful classes such as Jaggernaut I had an extremely hard time with them camping bastards. How can I cleanse my generator out of those pesky people? or am I fighting the wrong fight? I was _assuming_ my teammates would bother with other stuff such as defending the flag or attempting to capture theirs but I guess that's not what was going on.


Is it possible to (globally) slow down the pace of research and culture gain, without slowing production (as much)?

So I love long games of Civ. Epic is my usual "pace" chosen for play. However, every time I play, regardless of my settings -- I never feel as if the world spends enough time in each given "age". A common sequence of events, is I'll discover a technology unlocking, say, a new military unit. I'll tell one of my more productive cities to begin producing them as soon as they finish their whatever-they-were-building-before, while I continue researching towards other military units, and by the time I've finished building two or so swordsman I have the tech for longswordsman and now my old troops are outdated. Later on, as my research speeds up (as it often does) I'll finally get a couple riflemen to the front lines, just in time to provide ground support for the stealth bomber I bought. Quite often I forgo the entire process and build only city- defense troops until I get into Industrial or later eras. Is there a way to modify this? As in, set research and policy acquisition to an Epic game pace while leaving production at a slightly faster (roughly Marathon?) pace, to allow more of a chance to play around with an Ancient/Classical/Medieval military?


Are bots useful for filling a Team Fortress 2 Server?

I've started my own Team Fortress server and it's been very quiet Are bots (the official Valve bots) helpful or unhelpful in this situation? Most players don't seem to like playing with bots (even if it's just until the server fills) but leaving the server empty seems like an even worse idea. Edit: For the record. My server is totally honest about using bots. The bot quota is set low so that players have something to do while the server fills and the Valve behaviour is kept - that is the server has a "bots" tag and the Bots appear with "Bot" for ping. Fake players are an immediate Blacklist for me.

I often find that my drop rates are really low is the best way to increase it to gain lots of humanity and stay human or is it to constantly have the Gold covetous Serpent ring equipped? is there any other items that increase your drop rate?


Brain replacement for a Wii?

My mom's Wii has gotten to where it won't read disks, and my Wii has a fan that's gotten really noisy. I have a spare Wii that I could scrounge for parts, and a tri-wing screwdriver, and I've been a long time user of iFixit, so have instructions ... but before I just steal parts from the relatively unused spare, I had two concerns:   1. Would it make more sense to try to move the effective 'brain' of one of the broken Wiis into the new system, rather than just move a single part? (with the assumption that I'll have a relatively unused machine to work from, rather than two old machines with a single new part each)   2. If so, what's the part that needs to move? (ie, where is the memory for the saved games that you can't write out to SD cards, like Super Smash Brothers?, the settings network settings, etc?). I'm thinking a straight mother board replacement, but didn't know if it was hidden elsewhere, or on something removable from the memory board?


How does trading affect reputation with races?

I noticed that selling resources on race factories and buying equipment is improving reputation with this race. How specific actions affect reputation:   1. buying finished product on factory   2. selling resource to factory*   3. buying/selling wares on trading station   4. buying weapons in equipment dock   5. selling weapons in equipment dock*   6. buying equipment in equipment dock*   7. buying ships on shipyard   8. selling ships on shipyard   9. buying/selling shares on local stock exchange * increased reputation in my game, but not every time. How exactly does this change reputation? Does it depend on the quantity or price of wares? Does every transaction count or only the first one? How much do you need to trade to earn the best possible race reputation?


How can I permanently show FPS?

I know there used to be an option to show FPS at all times in an earlier version and I know F3 still shows it now but only while you hold F3. I tried this F3 + alt + F3 technique but (at least on my macbook pro) I couldn't get that to work. Any other suggestions?


Is it safe to drink my contaminated water?

A zombie fell into my town's well and couldn't get out. It died in there. I feel sorry for the thing but there really wasn't much we could do. Anyways, apparently our town water's contaminated now, meaning that, in the game's words, "drinking it [today] would be a great way to get infected". Does this mean that if I drink the water I'll be guaranteed to get an infection, or is it based on chance? Also, we've got some water rations from today in the bank. If I take one of them out tomorrow, will it still be infected?
