How does hearing range work?

In some situations in League of Legends, you can hear things that you can't see. For example, I'm pretty sure you can hear some enemy skill uses in a nearby bush. I haven't been able to find any documentation about this mechanic, and am wondering how it works. For example, knowing the following might be useful:   * Assuming I don't have sight to the blue buff, if I'm on the "outside" of the wall around the golem camp, should I be able to hear an enemy working on taking the golem down? (Same thing for wraiths.)   * Can I hear skills used from a bush? (Which ones?) Assuming I can hear things that I can't see: what is the range of hearing?


Are my romance options in ME3 limited if I cheated on my ME1 romance in ME2?

In Mass Effect 1, I was a male Shepard and romanced Liara. In Mass Effect 2 Liara was off brokering so I kinda fell for the rebel with a loving soul Jack. Question: Are my romance options limited because I cheated on Liara? Or is there an opportunity to rekindle my first relationship. Bonus Joke Question: Will Jack kill me? ;)


Will Ashley ever forgive me?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Are my romance options in ME3 limited if I cheated on my ME1 romance in > ME2? So, in Mass Effect 1, I had a romantic relationship with Ashley (what can I say, blue just doesn't do it for me). In Mass Effect 2, I left her in the dust and shacked up with Tali. Is there any way in Mass Effect 3 for me to repair my relationship with Ashley? Should I just pursue Tali again instead? I haven't gotten to the point where she's a squad member yet, but I do understand I'll pick her up eventually. Will either of these cause problems between the two of them? (Alternate title: _I've got 99 problems, and a Quarian's one_ )


How often do artifacts appear in Temple Run 2?

Do artifacts appear based upon time, distance run, or something else like that? Also I've noticed I seem to get artifacts faster when there are holiday artifacts to collect. Is that also a variable? If anybody knows the spawn rate of artifacts that would be nice.


Is there a way to pinpoint the locations of the special enchanters?

In my first playthrough of the game, I started a notebook where I wrote down all the act numbers and dungeon names of all the special enchanter locations (Boris the Stout, etc) as I came upon them. Now I am on my second playthrough and I am finding entirely differently enchanters or sometimes no enchanters at all. I researched a bit and it appears that the locations of these special enchanters are completely random. I'd like to think that there is some way to know where to look for a specific enchanter. Surely, it can't be _completely_ random. Is there at least a known cycle of locations where these enchanters can be found?


Can I play on the South Asia servers with a North American copy of StarCraft II?

I am currently living in the United States, but I might go to South Asia after a couple of months, where the latency with NA servers will not be that great. Can I play on the South Asia servers if I buy the NA version of the game?   If so, is it possible to switch an account made on the NA servers to the South Asia servers?


How do I defeat the guy in the armor in Stuck on Crushing?

I'm in chapter 14 Stuck on Crushing in _Uncharted 3_ and I have to defeat this guy in an armor while we're on a boat. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sHIcO.jpg) It doesn't matter how I try to hit him, nothing seems to hurt him: headshots, shooting while he's throwing a grenade, throwing grenades at him. When you get close enough to fight him, he simply kicks you away so that's no good either. So how do I defeat this guy?


What are the advantages of an AP Ezreal over an AD Ezreal in mid lane?

In the past when I played LoL, I generally see Ezreals building mostly attack damage and fill the role of the team's ranged AD carry. I've recently started seeing Ezreal going mid lane and build AP to fill the role of the team's AP carry. What are the advantages of building AP rather than AD on Ezreal? Doesn't only 2 of his spells scale of AP?

trouble launching minecraft (1.7, Mac version)

after the launcher window stops showing its progress, it turns white, but, instead of giving the login screen, it remains white indefinitely, not responding. also, the bar on top of the window lists the version as 1.3.4. The minecraft site says that the game should work fine as long as you have run it with internet connection at least once, and I have several times with no trouble. does anyone have a solution to this problem?

How to install mods for the new Minecraft launcher

I've recently changed to the new Minecraft launcher, and I have noticed a change in the `.minecraft` folder layout. I can no longer install mods just by copying it over into the `versions/1.6.1` jar file, as this file refreshes every time it is launched. For those who don't know what I am talking about, here is the new layout: ![New minecraft folder layout.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mk21w.png) I am specifically trying to install Optifine, which does work with 1.6.1.

Why does META-INF keep coming back?

I want to use the mod I've installed. I have Forge installed and I have ended the task "Java", but everytime I delete META-INF it keeps coming back everytime I open the Minecraft Launcher 1.2.1. But I know YouTubers have their mods working fine on 1.6! Someone please tell me the answer to this, it's very annoying. Just to confirm, it regenerates when I try to play Minecraft.

How can I mod Minecraft 1.7.9?

I've looked up a lot of tutorials on YouTube and all of them only work for versions of Minecraft prior to 1.7.9. I first got a Minecraft Coder Pack (MCP) off of this website, but then realized that only decompiles Minecraft 1.6.4. Then I found a more recent MCP (that's not on the website for some reason) and it is version 9.03, downloaded here. This decompiles Minecraft version 1.7.2 (when I followed this video's instructions, I run the decompile.bat file and it says `Json file not found in C:\Users\mike\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\versions\1.7.2\1.7.2.json`). Basically I can't decompile Minecraft 1.7.9, but I can decompile older versions. However, I don't have any older versions downloaded onto my computer. I have only 1.7.9. Then I tried using Forge, but realized that most videos were using versions of Minecraft prior to 1.6.4, meaning they use the bin folder that does not exist anymore. Even after trying to figure that out as well, the decompiling would never work. I tried to do what this video did, but couldn't replicate it. Then I finally looked at this video about using Forge and I could replicate it, but this didn't decompile Minecraft. It just set up a workspace in Eclipse that I'm not sure how to use. **TL;DR** **I can decompile Minecraft 1.6.4 and 1.7.2 but I can't decompile version 1.7.9. Should I download an older version of Minecraft, wait for an MCP for 1.7.9, or something else? Is there something I'm missing, where I actually can decompile and mod Minecraft 1.7.9?**

Using Mods with the new Minecraft Launcher

I read the question "How to install mods for the new minecraft launcher" and got the modified directory to show up in the list and I can load mods for a 1.5.2 version from the launcher now. The problem I am having is that when Minecraft comes up everything is flipped. It is both upside down and in mirror image. If I load the same jar file using the old minecraft launcher it works just fine. (Mind you there is a lot of rearranging between these tries.) Does anyone know what is causing this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm probably just an idiot, but I'm trying to create a new profile for 1.6.2 to use with single player commmands/worldedit, and I can't get the new modded version to show up in the launcher. What the other threads about this similar issue all said was to make sure everything (the folder, the .jar, the .json, and the id in the .json) had the same name, but mine all do, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Borderlands 2 Commando Gemini + (Longbow or Double Up)

I am planning a commando with gemini skill plus Scorched earth.

Is there a hotkey or shortcut to upgrade all units?

At certain points in the game, a variety of upgrades become available to your existing units. Unfortunately this produces a really tedious management issue, where the user has to select each individual unit and click on each type of upgrade. Some people mentioned that you can upgrade multiple units at a time, but either it doesn't work or they have to be the same unit. Is there a hotkey or shortcut for quickly applying upgrades to units?

When to proceed to Silverglen?

So as I was going through the storyline quests, I found myself in Cyseal's area facing > Braccus Rex and a cohort of previous bosses from the same area. I couldn't really handle it at Lv 8 so I decided to explore more and ended up in Silverglen. The story now seems to continue in a different direction which is bizarre since the ancient evil is still stomping around in the basement; do I go deal with that first or do I continue with multitude of quests in Silverglen?


Do console commands affect Steam achievements?

I've painted myself into a corner and am forced to choose between abandoning a couple hours' progress or cheating my way out of it. Unfortunately, I can't find hard data on if/how the use of console commands affects the unlocking of Steam achievements. I've heard a few conflicting theories and can think of a couple more:   1. I have heard that using any console command, ever, permanently prevents that/all characters from unlocking achievements.   2. I have heard that using any console command prevents you from unlocking any achievements for that "session" (variously, until you load a save or restart the game).   3. It seems reasonable that certain console commands (such as `tgm` — Toggle God Mode) might prevent the unlocking of achievements while active and/or others (such as directly manipulating skills/perks/etc.) permanently block achievements for that character once used.   4. It also seems _possble_ that console commands have no effect on achievements whatsover (at least, I have not yet seen evidence to the contrary). Do we have **any** hard info on this? Official sources, original research, _anything?_

How do I remain undetected for the "Cloak and Daggers" mission?

_[multiple spoiler alert]_ Early in the game there's a side mission "Cloak and Daggers" that has a secondary objective, "Remain undetected while in DRB territory." Eventually I gave up and just went in guns-a-blazin', but I'm wondering whether I missed a sneaky entrance. I found three ways in:   1. The main alley leading into DRB land. The main entrance is protected by a couple of thugs (instant detection). There's some rubble and a concrete pipe immediately to their left that I tried sneaking through, but it was such a frontal entrance that I always triggered somebody's alert.   2. Moving down the street to the left (left as I face the alley) I come to some stairs in an alley that take me to a rooftop with sneaky access to the DRB zone, but requiring a 15' jump across to a DRB fire escape. With leg augs I'm sure I could make that jump, but without them I kept splatting in the alley below. Rather than jumping I tried leaving the roof by walking along some vent-work to the left, but could never make it from the vents onto the DRB fire escape.    3. Still further left down the main street is a door that leads to a tunnel with DRB access. It's blocked by large crates, and eventually I bought the Lifting aug to get through this way, but there are a couple of thugs here that always detected me. Am I missing another way in? Or can I get in undetected through one of these entrances without the leg augs?

What is the purpose of the Mailbox in the Bastion?

At the end of my second playthrough of Bastion, I was roaming around one last time around the Bastion area and noticed, to my surprise, a mailbox at the bottom right corner of the central hub. I hadn't seen this before, but apparently it had been there most of the game. I can interact with it, but I just get a witty comment or two from the narrator. ![You've got mail! Except you don't.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7EwNT.png) While I can't imagine that the Bastion gets much mail, I feel as though there might have been some sort of purpose for this mailbox other than atmosphere. Am I wrong, and is the only reason for the mailbox to add atmosphere? Or is there some sort of reward or backstory revealed for checking in on the mailbox often or at the right times?


How do I defeat/sneak past proximity mines?

I'm at a hallway filled with proximity mines and things are **not** going well. ![DANGER, DANGER](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bTseM.png) I've tried to crouch past them or in between them but they're very sensitive and I don't think that's a possibility. Shooting them sets them off without me getting killed but it's alarming to the bad guys nearby and that's not good - it is a last resort if I need it. Is there another way to disable or get past these mines without setting them off?

Blood-rose bug in “The Watchmaker”

I am currently re-playing _The Watchmaker_. Unfortunately I have gotten stuck in exactly the same place I did the first time I tried to play it several years ago. After the sand-trap, Darryl has to pour the bag of blood on the rose, but instead, he _drinks(‽)_ it. I tried searching for an answer, hoping that there has been a fix or solution since the last time I looked (~2004), but all I can find is the same complaints and speculation. There do not seem to be any updates or patches for the game and Trecision has long since gone out of business. The best I can do to work-around it has been to download a savegame which unfortunately was made not only _after_ he pours the blood, but after a cinematic with a lengthy conversation between Darryl and Jude. I cannot find a savegame that was made from just before he pours the blood. The next best thing I could do was to search for a video of the game from when he pours the blood to after he gets the necklace from Jude, but unfortunately the only one I could find is in Checz. As such, I am _at best_ , missing out on a chunk of the game and an _important_ part of the story; and at worst, unable to play the game at all. I tried a bunch of different things, but sadly none of which worked:   * I made a list of every object that the person who made the savegame had and made sure to get all of them myself   * I made sure to visit Jude before pouring the blood on the rose so that she complains about it being a bad time because of a situation   * I have opened the book and read the bookmark (in fact I did all of these things with both Darryl _and_ Victoria just to be sure)   * I tried having each of Darryl and Victoria be the one to get scolded by Greta   * I tried disabling all of the acceleration options and using the lowest resolution in the game's setup program   * I tried removing the speech files that are installed separately   * I tried examining the data files to see if there is a way to find the bug and fix it, but there are only two binary files and no scripts   * I even tried a no-CD patch and loader, but they didn't fix it either    Does anyone have any information on how to get the game to work? At the very least, does anyone know where I can find a savegame that will work, but from _before_ Darryl pours the blood?


Why won't my nether portal bring me back where I left?

On our minecraft server, I've built a Nether portal in my basement. Which connected two-way (tested) to a location in the Nether. ![Basement Nether Portal](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZipFE.jpg) This nether portal took me to an area in the nether which was a small cave.   I dug upwards and surfaced close to a Nether Fortress. After clearing the fortress of Blaze spawners, I decided to 'move in'. So I went back to the portal, dismantled it, and reactivated in in a location in the Fortress. ![Nether Fortress Portal](http://i.stack.imgur.com/VRZ3L.jpg) The fortress would be within the same 128m radius I would assume as it's really close to the original place. Literally some steps to the surface, then a ladder up the nearest Nether Fortress bridge support. Now, taking this portal back to my original doesn't work, I spawn deep underground in an Abandoned Mine Shaft. I read somewhere that my Nether portal has found a 'better match' and this could be remedied by disabling the 'wrong' portal in the mine shaft. However, upon multiple attempts, a new nether portal is dynamically created in the same area. See screenie for example. You'll see two 'stacked' portals on the left (from my different attempts at disabling) and then the current active one on the right. ![Weird Dynamic Nether Portal](http://i.stack.imgur.com/n1ryt.jpg) My question is, how can I make sure these portals go to the correct place. Is it a matter of returning the portal to it's original location or am I stuck for returning to the basement?


Nether portals exiting into a different location

I've been having issues with a Nether portal - when I build the portal and enter the Nether, everything is fine. The portal is in the right location, I've checked the overworld coordinates, divided them by 8, and they match up to the coordinates in the Nether. Except when I exit the Nether, it takes me to a new portal a distance away. I can use that portal, but it won't let me use the original one - when I try to disable the new portal and use the original, it puts me somewhere different instead. I've had this issue both on the Mushroom Island where I live and another smaller grass island - on the grass island, both attempts of exiting the Nether put me on a platform over the ocean. Any suggestions?


Strange nether portal bug

I'm playing on a private vanilla server with a friend. When we come back from the nether, we don't come out in the nether portal near our house, we come out in one that we didn't build deep underground. This happened in our last world too, the only difference was the new portal was overground but far away from our house. Why is a new portal generating when we should be coming out of the same one? (We only have one portal in the nether and overworld and neither have been moved).


Why do I come out of a Nether Portal other than the one that I made?

I have built a house in the sky with a Nether Portal in it. When I go into the Nether Portal everything is perfectly fine but when I go back home I don't spawn back in the portal I used to go into the Nether; I spawn in a new Nether Portal somewhere on the ground far from my original portal. Is the problem that my Nether Portal is in the sky?

Which versions of Need for Speed after NFS: Porsche Unleashed/Porsche 2000 have split screen?

I used to play the old Need for Speed versions that had split screen. I am planning to buy a new one, but I do want split screen. Looking at the Need For Speed wikipedia article I saw: > The game [Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed/Porsche 2000] is also the first > in the series since the first NFS game to not feature a split screen mode. Reading that quote, it seems that after this game no more Need for Speed games provide split-screen ability. And if that is true it's a pity. So my question is:   * **Is there any version after Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed/Porsche 2000 that has split version?**


Do stronger Conjuration spells make weaker bodies stronger?

How do I maximize points from loops?

Loops are one of the new obstacles in Runner 2. The game only mentions "Mash Space" (jump), and I've noticed that, while I've yet to fail a loop, I've gotten mixed point values from them. _Some_ of this I can attribute to entering the loop with a different bonus multiplier (i.e. Mega. vs. Extra), but the other part of the points seems random. Is there some trick I'm not getting?

What are the differences? Besides the graphics changing, what are the main features of Runner 2 that separate it from Bit.Trip Runner? I've played Bit Trip Runner quite a bit, and I don't want to come into Runner2 with misconceptions about what gameplay will be like, or how different functions have changed and whatnot.


How does "dancing" work?

How many points does one get when you "dance"? How many seconds does this last? I'd like to know so I can cram as many of these into open parts so I can get more points. Do points received from dancing also play into difficulty level? Does playing on Just Right give less points than playing on Hard?

What are Retro levels?

I was running along in 1-4 when I missed a jump, and suddenly things went all funky. Well, funkier: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GIjlg.jpg) How did I trigger this new, retro-themed level? How are they different from regular levels? And why did I get a counter saying 1/25 Congratulations when I beat it?


What is happening while I'm sitting at the load screen?

When loading into a game sometimes it takes a real long time due to just one player. Often you hear the "toaster" jokes once everyone gets in game referring to the assumed poor quality hardware of the slow loader. I always assumed the long loading times had more to do with network latency than their actual hardware. But that's just because I have no idea what's happening in that time frame. So is the wait time actually because someone had a slow computer, or is it because they had slow internet?


Chances to get Rare Items

You're probably expecting a 'rage' post about never getting Rare's, but it's the contrary. I've been playing for the past few days with a friend, and I seem to get a rare item on an average of 10 minutes per piece. Whereas my friend only gets rare pieces when it comes to boss levels. Being a DH, and my friend a Monk, is there any class that by default gets rare pieces more frequently than others? Or certain levels, bosses?

I made the first snow planet I found in the alpha sector my homeworld and have been slowly working on my castle. I am wondering if maybe I should wait before getting too comfortable on this planet if there are more benefits to being on a tougher planet?

How do I install the Aether II Minecraft mod on Mac?

I asked this question on Minecraftforum.net and got no response. I'm trying to install the Aether II mod for Minecraft on my Mac. I've watched a number of YouTube videos on how, but they all reference my /bin directory. Ever since the 1.6 update, I no longer have a /bin directory, only /versions.

How can I see what alien types I've already captured alive in XCOM?

I stopped using the arc thrower for a while because I was getting my butt kicked and started equipping everyone with medikits to up survival rates. But I'm in better shape now, and want to round up any alien types I never captured. But I can't recall what aliens I've already captured to study. Is there someplace I can look to see a list without backing into it by looking at the tech I can build and looking up its pre-requisites earlier int he tree?

What are the base Line of Sight values for units in Age of Empires 2?

I've been searching the internet for a chart or even a wiki with either compiled unit info or various individual information about units in AoE2 (either AoK or AoC expansion, preferably the latter) that gives the basic number of tiles the unit can see assuming all things being equal (flat ground, no upgrades). I have found nothing so far. While various technology upgrades mention +2, +4, etc. LOS to buildings or units, I cannot find anything that is telling me the base value to begin with for the various units. A Scout has more than a Villager, etc., but not hard numbers. I would like to know if anyone is aware of a resource for this, or has done a unit by unit study themselves (I prefer not to embark on such a study myself if information already exists). The best answer for me would be an actual listing here of the LOS values for units (including Age of Conquerors expansion), and if copied from information from another web source, the link to that as well.

Steam Will Not Open Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs

I am trying to launch _Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs_ , but it doesn't want to open. It says that it's going to open and then it just doesn't. It's currently the only game I have installed. Here's specifically what's happening.   * I click "Play" and it asks if I want to go to the settings or play the game.   * Clicking either one will pop up a little "Launching" box for a millisecond, and the title in my library will go yellow for a millisecond, then nothing else happens. I have tried:   * Uninstalling and reinstalling    * Verifying Integrity of Game Cache   * Updating & Restarting my computer   * Running Steam as Admin   * Launching the game from a newly created desktop shortcut But still no luck. Is there something else I need to do? I have checked my firewall properties and both Amnesia and Steam are allowed on public and private networks. My System Specs (if relevant):   * Windows 7 64bit (SP1)   * Intel Core i5 Processor   * 4GB RAM


There is no description on the character creation page of RuneScape?

I just started playing on RuneScape, well, actually, I haven't started playing yet. I'm on the character creation screen and there are different kinds of clothes designs, some with weapons, some without. I don't know what each of them specifically do. Why are there no descriptions as to what that certain class is? Here's a screenshot of one without weapon. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/uIwJL.png) And here's a screenshot of the other one with a weapon. ![](http://i.imgur.com/7jWYOw0.png)

What gamepads can be used in Magicka?

I just bought Magicka and want to play it on my computer with my girlfriend. Buying a gamepad seems to be the only option. I've never owned one, so I have no idea what kind the game supports or what the interface looks like. **How do I know if a gamepad is compatible with Magicka?** I already have USB keyboards, a Wiimote with nunchuk, an unrooted Android phone, and a couple of other computers (too weak to play the game). Could I use any of those? What are my options?

Why does my meat disappear so quickly in A Dark Room

How can I see the 4th ending to the game?

The website for _Yesterday_ boasts of 4 different endings. I quote from the game's website: > This is the starting point of a brand new adventure from Pendulo Studios, > which will drive you into a dark story full of twists and turning points, > and give you the chance to choose between 4 different endings! I've only seen three (listed below), and how to arrive at them all seemed very obvious. At the very end of the game, I was presented with a choice as to which character would act in the end: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/WWqqj.jpg) **Cooper ending:** > I choose Cooper and he tosses Henry in the pit. John, Cooper, and Pauline > bury the temple and leave. **John ending:** > I choose John and he brands Henry's hand so that he'll be forever marked. > John and Pauline bury the temple and leave. **Henry ending:** > I choose Henry and he convinces John to pull him up, then stabs John and > pushes him into the pit. Henry buries the temple and drags off Pauline's > body. * * * **Is there really a fourth ending, and if so, how do I achieve it?**

Is there any way to get your old Tiny Death Star back re installing the app

My Tiny Death Star started always crashing when you tried to open it yesterday. Thinking that I know they back up the current state online I deleted the app and re-installed it.

Am I completely screwed?

TDS Unexpectedly Stopped after Imperial Propaganda Challenge Began (march 2014)

I've been playing TDS without issue since around Christmas time. There was just a recent update a day or two ago (today is march 21st) and I didn't notice anything funny until I opened up TDS this morning. I was greeted with the Imperial Propaganda Emperor banner that was announcing the new challenge (decorator droid challenge). I was eager to begin playing. I sent my first decorator droid to decorate a level. After that I clicked on the Imperial Officer icon in the top right corner. The game popped up a message that read "Tiny Death Star has unexpectedly stopped" and it asked me to report or hit ok. I hit ok the first time and opened it back up and tried again. Same effect. So I just kept playing as normally hoping that it would fix itself with a patch or something later on. As seems to be the case, I couldn't leave well enough alone so I began searching here to see if others have had this issue. Then I got the bright idea to just restart my phone. Since the reboot, every time I try to open TDS, I get the unexpectedly stopped message during the Lucas Arts screen and it won't even open up. This is extremely frustrating. And I don't dear uninstall and reinstall the app for fear of losing all of my hard-earned data (levels, bux, coins, etc). I'm not linked on a FB account. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4, running Android 4.4.2. Tried clearing my Cache. No change. **UPDATE: 4:35 PM CST 3/21/14** I figured I would try to rule out any other things, hardware related. So I moved the data from my SD Card to the Phone internal memory. After doing that, I was able to open and play the program. But it still stops unexpectedly when I click on the Imperial Officer, or the Album (in the menu) or the Levels (in the store). I'm curious to know if I can reinstall just the last update as everything seemed to play well up to that point. If I could reinstall, maybe it would fix the issue. Any input on where I can find the file for that update?

Can I take the hard drive out of my bulky PS3 and place it into a slim PS3?

My bulky PS3 died a couple of months ago and now I am considering getting a new PS3. One method that I heard that I can use to transfer all of my memory to another PS3 is by taking out the hard drive from my bulky PS3 and placing it into a new PS3. But I have not seen if this is for both the bulkier PS3 and the slim version. So can I take the hard drive out of my bulky PS3 and place it into a slim PS3? Or does it only work with the bulky model?

What are some strategies in Pokemon to build a competitive party?

So, I've been playing Pokemon since the first generation was released in the US when I was maybe 9 years old. I've recently stated to get back into Pokemon, but the thing is my strategy is still the same one I had when I was 9, and as you can imagine, it's not very complex. But in discussions with people about the game, I continually find there are so many more levels (pun intended) to it than just grinding a few Pokemon I think look cool and who are the opposite type against whatever Gym I will be up against. What are some strategies in Pokemon to build a strong party (or parties)? And what aspects of the game should 9-year-old me have learned to be better and actually be able to beat my friends in duals?


Garry's Mod Gamemode Without Weapons

Is there a difference between green movement and blue movement?

All ships in Endless Space have a speed (listed in Parsecs / Turn) that varies based on faction, engine modules, random events, and researched technology.

Civilization 5 great prophet mod?

In the early game Great Prophets function nicely to create and enhance religions. However, later on, I find their effect on religion entirely overpowered. They can be used to convert _entire cities_ , and the AI usually goes for my holy cities and those that benefit greatly from beliefs I have chosen specifically with those cities in mind. A city of millions of people in 1960s just drops the religion they've been following for a couple of thousand years and completely converts. So the question is, is there a mod for great prophets that prevents this from happening?


What's the difference between "English" and "UnEnglish" languages in Unepic?

I don't feel like playing the game in both languages just to check the differences myself. Is there any special change in dialogue with NPC's between those two languages? Or is it just different spelling of certain words? If someone could provide screenshots of same part of the dialogue with any NPC on both languages that would be good too.


Where is that grassy knoll?

At the end of Kingdom Hearts 1, Sora & company find themselves in a large, open grassy field. This eventually leads them to finding Castle Oblivion for CoM, but where is that grassy area actually? Is it on a world we know about? Is it somewhere in between worlds (and thus how they find Castle Oblivion)? If you played Birth By Sleep, is it: > Land of Departure? Seeing as how they are able to get to Castle Oblivion > from there, and Castle Oblivion is the castle from the Land of Departure. What world do Sora and friends find themselves on?

What do greyed out servers mean?

Recently, _DayZ_ has become easier to use via the Six Launcher. There are times when servers appear to be greyed out. At first, I thought this was due to a version mismatch. Unfortunately, this is not the case, as is evident by this picture: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/iYX3N.png) Two servers with two differing Versions are greyed out. Several other servers with those exact same versions are not greyed out. **What causes these servers to go grey?**

How can I make the sensitivity reasonable?

I was having a mouse lag issue in Dead Space, and I followed the useful instructions here which completely solved that problem. It introduced another problem, however, which is that the mouse sensitivity is very, very low even when the sensitivity bar in the options is turned all the way up. Luckily I have an expensive gaming mouse and I can increase the sensitivity on the mouse to make it playable, but it's _still_ too low even after doing that. When I right click to aim, sweeping the mouse over a foot turns the view about 30 degrees. It's more playable than it was with the mouse lag, but this is a problem too. Is there any way to remove mouse lag but still have reasonably high sensitivity?

In Dungeon Crawl, should I move enchanted items to a cleared level so that monsters can't get them?

I'm playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. I'm on level 10 of the main dungeon. When I kill an orc, it may drop, say, shiny plate mail and a glowing battleaxe. If I leave those items on the floor, an enemy--say, an orc warrior --could later pick them up and use them. Should I trouble myself to move these enchanted items to a cleared level? If not, why not?

Are Almanac page paths predetermined?

So far, I have had absolutely _zero_ luck catching a single Almanac Page in _Assassin's Creed 3_. Every time I start to chase one, I am immediately met with a pop-up stating: > "The Almanac page is lost. Come back later and try again." ... or something to that effect, anyway. I just can't seem to catch the pesky things! **Is there a predetermined path that I can learn for these pages, or are they randomly generated?** I've tried watching a few, but with them disappearing so quickly, it is very difficult for me to tell.


How do I reach the extra switches in the Waterway puzzle?

I have solved the basic waterway puzzle where you press the 4 switches and get to the end and then press the 5th switch which opens the door for the Riku battle. Isn't there more to the maze? If you look closely you can see there are 2 more switches that I can't seem to get to.               -------------------     |     L     \   * |     |B(X) L     \     |     |     L     \     |     \\\\\\\-----\\\\\\\     |     \  S2 \     |     |S4   \     \     |     |     \     \     |     ------\\\\\\\\\\\\\     |     \     |     |     |S1   \     |   S3|     |     \     |     |     nnnnnn\\\\\\\\\\\\\     |     n     ?     |     |     n     ?   * |     |E    n     ?     |     -------------------      \---- or |||| is unmoveable   n is no wall   L is a low wall that you can jump over   s# is a switch   * is a switch you can see but cant get to   X is an exit   E is an entry does anyone have any clue how to get to the switches? I've done google searches but I haven't found one for full maze completion, just the first part. Here is one theory I have:               -------------------     |     L     L   * |     |B    L     L     |     |     L     L     |     nnnnnnn-----+------     |     n  S2 |     |     |S4   n     |     |     |     n     |     |     -------------------     |     |     |     |     |S1   |     |   S3|     |     |     |     |     nnnnnn-------------     |     n     ?     |     |     n     ?   * |     |     n     ?     |     -------------------      If you get the maze to look like this, then if you could get in from the exit or some other point towards the end of the maze, you would have access to the switch. Just a thought though. Ive looked all throughout the entire world and I am unable to find another entry point to this maze. Does anyone know how to solve it?


How do I become a zombie?

After a long hiatus, I've picked up RotMG again and noticed a few stark changes. Quite often it'll say `<Name>'s cursed amulet of resurrection has broken and they (become a zombie|disappear|something similar)` This prompts the most dismay and pity I think I've ever seen in an MMO. :P Particularly when the affected turns into a zombie, it seems. ("Poor `<Name>`. Zombied right at the end.") The Wiki seems to contain little to nothing on the topic. What's an amulet of resurrection and what does it do? Are some _un_ -cursed? How can I get one? What happens when it breaks and you turn into a zombie?

How to stop a double Arbiter/Forge rush 3v3

I have been playing halo wars since the game came out(forever ago). Only recently, the last few months, has this strategy emerged. Me and my friends have lost around 50 games to this rush. We have found no way to stop it when the rush is preformed perfectly. When the rush is preformed perfectly it looks something like this:   1. Both Arbiters make their Temples first, after it is complete they lock their base   2. Both Arbiters start making Suicide Grunts immediately after Temple finishes   3. Arbiters make their way to the enemy base   4. By the time the Arbiters arrive they have around 4 suicide grunts each, which is enough to kill the base with extras left over   5. They blow up the first base and move on to the next   6. (see below) They regroup and attack the second base, followed soon after by the third base. (6) if the person who got attacked first has turret(s) up, they can usually weaken or kill a couple of grunts before they hit the base, requiring more grunts to hit the base before it gets blown up. This usually causes the Arbiters to destroy the base and then retreat. By this time they have eliminated one of your teammates. By the time you and your teammate get back up and running, you are being overrun by the enemies tanks. Things we have tried to stop/prevent the rush:   1. Build warthogs to try to ram and kill the grunts before they hit the base - fails every time because the Arbiter kills the warthogs instantly with the Rage ability.   2. Run over to the Arbiter's base before they let the grunts out and wait. Once the base opens Mac Blast the grunts(kills them instantly). - this fails because now the other Arbiter has a full army of grunts and blows up your base. Your teammates don't have enough time to get you another one and by the time your teammates recover, you are yet again overrun by tanks.   3. Rush the Forge player with full out Warthogs and Hunters - this fails because the 2 Arbiters have enough time to individually blow up all your bases while you are trying to fight forge, if the Arbiters fail destroying your bases and you defeat Forge, you win but his is extremely rare.   4. D-Bomb both of the Arbiter's pads when they show up at your base - this fails because the Arbiters retreat and just wait for the D-Bomb to go away which is super frustrating. We thing we have come up with to win every time is to make it a Mirror Match (both sides have the exact same characters). To us this really isn't in the sport of the game, why play halo wars if your going to play boring rush games every time? Here is how we usually setup the teams:               ---------------------     Covenant - Prophet(2)     UNSC - Cutter(1)     UNSC - Anders(3)     ---------------------     Covenant - Chieftain(1)     UNSC - Forge(2)     UNSC - Anders(3)     ---------------------     Covenant - Chieftain(3)     Covenant - Prophet(2)     UNSC - Cutter(1)     ---------------------      The numbers are the order of our skills (1 is the best). We usually have the best player play as Cutter because he is essential in stopping a rush (a well placed Mac ruins an Arbiter's day). Does anyone know of a counter-rush for this? Which characters do you need to be? Does it work on all of the 3v3 maps? All relevant answers are appreciated. Thanks for reading!


Is it possible to download a previous version of minecraft_server.jar?

I am trying to set up a Tekkit-like server (+ some different mods). Most mods are not 1.4.2-compatible, yet, so the server runs 1.3.2. I can use MCNostalgia to downgrade the client, but is there any way to downgrade the server or download an old version?


Can enemies see me through smoke?

Sometimes, enemies throw smoke grenades, meaning I can't see or target them (without help), but can they see _me_ back? Does it affect their targeting/aim at all?


Sign in problems to access garage in GT5

We have an old user login that my son has forgotten the password to, and the e-mail address linked to this user, so we can't sign in. Is there any way to access the contents of garage/saved data on GT5 for this login?


How do I pre-generate a Minecraft world?

I want to create a new world on our Minecraft server, but exploring a new map and generating terrain causes massive lag. Is there a way to pre generate the chunks (with the default map generator) in a specific radius around the spawn? I'm looking for a Bukkit plugin or tool I can use on our Linux machine. An offline tool I can run on my local machine is ok, too.


Is there an inventory?

Is there an inventory where I can see the items I have picked up/bought during my journey, that I haven't used and are still carrying around?


Assuming everyone survived in Mass Effect 2, where and how do they make an appearance?

I want to know what interactions I'll miss by having started a fresh game. Assuming everyone survived, where do they appear and what importance does everyone's cameo have? I'm looking for a complete list of Mass Effect 2 squadmates and description of their interactions with Shepard in Mass Effect 3. What I have in mind is something like this: * * * **Legion**   \- Can be found in mission X standing next to the barrel on the right of the first room.   \- If talked to, he tells Shepard of how he freed his kind from a slave camp.   \- Can be recruited to tag along. * * *


Plate Bender speed issue

It would seem that Gregtech's Plate Bending Machine can only take up to 3 overclocker upgrades before it ceases to function. However, the largest hump in the speed of my AE crafting system is this bending machine, and frankly, 3 overclockers is not enough. If I connected multiple Plate Bending Machines to my network's crafting network, is the AE network smart enough to use the machines in a blanket fashion? If not, how else could I speed up the crafting of Metal Plates in my system?


How to mark notes as unread?

I think most people have faced this already, we have notes that we do NOT want to attend to their subject atm, but they are AUTOMATICALLY marked as read and we CANNOT undo that, what is utterly annoying... We cannot also drop unwanted notes, is it safe to drop them? wont break quests? I believe the answer must be in one of these lines: console commands, mod, savegame editor, any other smarty hack that can do the trick; as I cannot find any normal way to achieve that.


How can I have my friends join my LAN server ( On Minecraft ) if we're not using same WIFI connection?

I've been researching how to have my Friends join my world through a LAN server, but most of the answers include having the same WIFI connection. Me and my friends won't be playing at the same house and we don't exactly live next door to be able to play on the same WIFI connection and I want to know if there is a possible way for my friends to join my minecraft server without having the same WIFI connection. Any help?


How can i join a minecraft server that is not located within my local network

I have Minecraft for the pc, and wish to join my friends server however it is not located on the same local network as my computer is. how can I join this server without moving to my friends local area network?


Can I split item stacks evenly using a trackpad?

In Minecraft 1.5, a new feature was added: when placing a stack of items in the workbench, if you hold both the right and left mouse buttons down and drag, the stack of items will be split evenly across all the squares you drag them over, simplifying the process of crafting a large number of identical items. But I play Minecraft on a Mac using the trackpad...right-click is performed by pressing with two fingers, left click with one. No gesture for simultaneous right and left click exists. Is there a way to assign this new feature to, say, shift + click-and-drag instead of right-and-left-click-and-drag so it can be used with a Mac trackpad?

Can I use a PC hard disk drive for my PS3?

I have a 12 GB super slim play station 3, when I bought it I thought that 12 GB would be enough for few games but it's actually not once I tried it. I was wondering if I could connect a PC hard disk drive to my Playstation 3 instead of buying a hard disk drive for it? Is there any way that I can connect an PC hard disk drive to my PS3 - I mean to use the PCs hard drive storage space.


Will my archer towers still defend me while they are being upgraded?

How do you pick up the water balloons in Skylanders Swap Force Wii chapter 14?

We have the Wii (not U) version of Skylanders Swap Force. We can't get past the fire fighting with water balloons section of chapter 14. How do you pick up and carry the water balloons? The youtube videos I've seen they just walk over to the pump and touch the balloon, but when we try this the balloon immediately flies away as if thrown. We can't carry them to where the fires are. This seems like a bug.


What is the difference between visitors and tourists?

I was under the impression that visitors comprise workers and shoppers from neighbouring cities but tourists spawn out of thin air because in my tourist city, I have ~30000 tourists but barely 300 visitors. But when I started a new city in an isolated area with no neighbours by road, I had no shoppers or workers from neighbouring cities (because there are none). About ~1800 tourists came through my train station, at the same time, I also had about ~1800 visitors. So the second scenario contradicts my previous belief. Has anyone figured this out?


Can you get special prisoner heads twice in Battle Block Theater?

I started playing Battle Block Theater and have been collecting the special "star" prisoner heads that have been given out. When trading online, there is a huge premium for these characters because their value hasn't been established yet. I was wondering if you could trade away the character of the week and recollect it again for that week [like playing Furbottom's feature, get and trade away the character, and play it again on insane mode]?


Personal Message History In-Game

When holding an extended conversation with someone, sometimes it is desirable to multitask and get some games in. Unfortunately, the loading screen for the game doesn't display messages, and so messages received while the game is loading seem to be inaccessible until you leave the game, where you can see the full history again. Other than using an external chat system, or asking people to resend messages once you enter the game proper, both of which require extra effort on their part, is there a way to continue these conversations?


Do you still lose all progress in the "Extra Game" when you restart your 3DS?

It seems in the original NES version of Kirby's Adventure, turning off the console results in you losing all progress into the "extra" game where you play again with only 3 health (and 2 lives). On Wii Virtual Console, you could use the "save state"-ish feature to just never turn off the game. However any time the game resets would cause you to lose the "Extra Game" and forcing you to start over start all over. Is this still the case in the 3DS version? Since there doesn't seem to be any way to "save state" like on Wii version, would I lose the "Extra Game" if I switch to another game or restart/turn-off the 3DS?


In the card crafting UI, is it possible to search for cards that I do not own

Generally, I feel like the search capabilities in your card collection are rather good. I have however not yet figured out a way to search for all cards that I do not own. Is this possible? For example, lets say the only cards that I do not have are Ragnaros and Molten Giant. Also, I only have one Azure Drake (so I am missing one). In this particular scenario, is it possible to formulate a search query which finds Ragnaros, Molten Giant and Azure Drake?


How can I power level in Disgaea 2?

Ordeals 4 is the standard power leveling map in Disgaea games, but in Disgaea 2 (Dark Hero Days, the PSP version) the enemy formation is 2x4 instead of 3x3, meaning I can't kill them all in one turn. They're too spaced out and no attack (that I know of) has an AoE that hits all of them in one strike. Is there a better map or some ability that will let me hit everyone on the map in one move? Using two characters to kill them in two attacks is painfully slow, and I don't know of any attack AoE that will kill the 2x4 formation. Powerleveling on this map takes too long so I gave up, but I wonder if there is a better way. Magichange is an option but I don't know of any magichange weapon attacks that have this range either.


Where can I find each type of ultra rare cargo?

I'm missing a lot of ultra rare cargo and it would be ideal to have a list of sectors where each type can be found. Of course, since the contents of each sector are procedurally generated based on its name, some cargo may be found in more than one sector; however, for the purposes of this answer, just one sector per cargo will do.


How do I get the Laurel Wreath?

I am playing All My Gods and in order to progress, I need to acquire the Laurel Wreath so I can then use another obelisk of the gods to open up more space for my civilization to grow into. Problem is, I have no idea how to get the Laurel Wreath. I am not sure if I need more civilization points, or need to research certain things, or have a certain number/type of buildings. What do I need to do to get the Laurel Wreath?


How do (Just) Inputs Work?

While browsing through the move lists for some of the characters, I've noticed some of them have the term (just) in with their button combinations. After a bit of searching online, I found them being referred to as 'J frames'. I don't think I've been able to do a single one of these yet. How do J Frames work?


What games does Shadowplay work on?

Does Shadowplay, a videogame specific tool for the recording of gameplay, work on "arbitrary games" or does it only support the relatively few games supported by GeForce Experience? I suppose that, given a desktop GPU, you _could_ record the desktop, and that would include any given game, so long as you were playing in windowed mode, and the window was top-most, and it was never moved, and you cropped the video afterwards to just the game area. But that's kind of an hassle, and the sound recording would also include sounds from other windows.


How do I beat Robert de Sable in the cemetary?

I'm at the point in Assassin's Creed where I try to assassinate Robert de Sable on the cemetary in Jerusalem, but he notices that I am among the crowd and ambushes me with his men. I am having a hard time with that fight, it is far harder than the previous fights I got into. I am constantly attacked by archers while I'm busy defending myself against the templar knights. The melee enemies are also pretty tough, I often fail parrying or counter-attacking them even when getting the timing right. Any tips on how to win this fight? How do I prevent the archers from killing me and what do I need to know to effectively fight the templar knights?


How to keep track of objectives in X3: Reunion

I recently picked up X3: Reunion and have been enjoying it. However with the lack of a proper tutorial most of my time has been spent figuring things out. I know the game is rather huge and allows you to go off on your own so one thing I'm afraid of is losing track of plot objectives. I know I usually get a message telling me where to go but it seems like I'm getting lots of messages in the beginning and I'm worried about losing it if I go off on my own or take a long break between gaming sessions. Is there a menu or something that keeps track of current mission objectives? I didn't see one during my beginning missions.

What are all the new detector units in HoTS?

... and how do they change tactics when using cloaked units? I'm particularly interested in how they'd change the 3-Gate Dark Templar build.   I used to have quite a lot of fun with this build in WOL, would it still be viable? Or the new detector units will make this build obsolete?


How can I break locks in Two Worlds II?

I know about picking and auto-picking. The game shows "break lock: 50% damage weapon: 0%" when I approach a lock with my weapons drawn. How can I try and break them? If I attack, nothing happens.


Paper Mario best sidekick

I recently began playing Paper Mario on Nintendo 64, and I have gone through pretty much the entire game. Who would the most powerful sidekick be to use in the final levels? Right now I'm about to face Huff n Puff (?). Also, any easy ways to beat him?


What ways can I receive diamonds (premium currency) in Runes of Magic?

Are there any other ways to get or earn Diamonds in Runes of Magic? I see there's a category for Diamonds in the Auction House, but has anyone seen Diamonds for sale? If so, what did they fetch? Are there any quests or drops that yield Diamonds?


Why is voice chat in Dungeons and Dragons Online usually not working?

I rather suspect it's my ISP filtering it but I haven't figured out a way to prove this and they categorically deny filtering. It's random, occasionally it suddenly starts working for a while, anywhere from seconds to hours, but it never lasts. This started early this year when the Pirate Cove special showed up--at first it failed only in the wilderness part of it but soon it was at least 95% of the time everywhere in the game. Turbine's tech support suggested the filtering bit as a possibility after exhausting configuration ideas, my ISP lied about it (I know they do traffic shaping) and I'm stumped. Note that when people talk my screen does show that they are talking, I just don't hear anything.


Running Battlefield 3 with 2 x 9600gt in SLI

I am currently running:   * Quad core Q6600 overclocked to 3.2ghz   * 4GB DDR3 RAM   * 2 x 9600gt 1GB running in an SLI configuration   * MSI Platinum motherboard   * SSD for storage Will this rig be expected to be capable of running the upcoming Battlefield 3 with reasonable performance or will I need an upgrade? In an ideal world I'd upgrade the entire rig, but this is not currently possible. If expected performance is quite poor, what suitable graphics card upgrade would this rig accept?


How quickly does sugar cane grow?

I recently started a sugar cane farm, and I'm just curious as to the rate at which sugar cane grows.


Does Ruunans Hurricane and Twitch ultimate Synergize?

Does Ruunans Hurricane work with Twitch ultimate? Most of the time Ruunans isn't worth it, unless you're running a full on-hit build. I was pondering if it would be useful with Twitch ultimate.


Obtaining Legendary Weapons?

Is there a level requirement or stat requirement for getting legendary items? Or do they simply drop that infrequently that they're hard to find? Are legendary weapons more likely to drop for high level characters? I'm nearly 150 hours into this game, and have yet to get one.


Can the direction of wall nut bounce be controlled?

In level 1-5 you are tasked to bowl with Wall Nuts, to take out zombies. I see that the wall nuts bounce, but they seem to bounce randomly. It seems like it is important to get multiple hits with each Wall Nut, but I can't figure out how to make it bounce up vs. down. Can it be controlled?


How do I use the mallets in 3D Classics: Kid Icarus?

I'm on the second area of the first stage of 3D Classics: Kid Icarus. I've collected 13 items which the manual identifies as mallets; it says that I can use them as weapons by pressing Y to switch weapons. However, pressing Y does nothing; my attack button continues to shoot arrows. Is this an ability which is enabled later? Do I need to do something else? Am I misunderstanding the controls? In the Controls menu I have checked that the Y button (as well as the L and R buttons) are set to Weapon Selection. My Y button functions normally in other games.


Why does my killer fish only have 1hp?

In Tales of Symphonia: New Dawn, when Lailah resurrects my Killer Fish in battle, I notice he always seems to have 1hp immediately after. Once or twice I've seen the res go off for 700+ hp, but the fish only gains 1 from that. Is there some reason this is happening so I can prevent it? It sucks having him at 1hp for most of the battle.


Efficient layout for resource extraction and P2 production in PI

I played around with PI a while ago in high-sec, but chose a rather bad product and didn't earn enough money for it to be worthwile. I want to give PI a second shot now in low-sec and I'm wondering about the layout for my planet. I want to minimize the amount of hauling required, so I'm planning to search for a planet where I can extract two resources and produce one P2 product on the same planet. My basic idea would be to center everything around a Launchpad that also serves as final storage for the P2 product. My main concerns are how to efficiently buffer the intermediate products. Is it better to add storage facilites for that, or should everything go into the single launchpad and be redirected from there? Any other aspects I should take into account?


After reviving my vampire companion, how do I get his equipment back?

Long story short, Aerie has been kidnapped by Bodhi and turned into a vampire, so I had to kill and revive her. When she disappeared, she was wearing the Robe of Vecna and carrying the Bag of Holding with most of my goodies, but when I revive her, her inventory is empty. How can I get my things back?


Does the Xbox only support WMA?

I've just downloaded the Zune software and shared a folder containing some `.avi` files on my computer. I've then connected my Xbox to my computer as the Zune software made it visible. I'm able to view my computer and its content (just the silly demo video of horses). Why can't I see the `.avi` files on my Xbox? I'm able to see and go into the folder from the Xbox but it's empty there.


How to win Asculum Historical battle in Rome Total War?

I've tried to win battle of Asculum by following this strategies: 1) Send my troops to the mountain situated at the south of the initial position and then defeating the elephants. Light troops and missile troops are used to stop the initial phalanxs. Other heavy infantry is used as a reserve to attack phalanxes at their backs. Cavalry only dies (I only have one unit!) 2) The same of 1 but right at the initial deployment point. Thanx! :)


Can I transfer upgrades in MetalStorm to a new aircraft?

What special markup options are there in Discussions and how to use them?

I noticed some users markup their forum posts to render an interactive object. For example this button will open a trade window with the user:   ![Steam Discussions special markup for trade offers](http://i.stack.imgur.com/57KXs.png) Hovering over these images, will show a detailed tooltip view of the item: ![Steam Discussions special markup for tooltip item view](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mVuGs.png)   **_View in browser/Steam_** Formatting help doesn't mention any of these options. How is it done, and what else can be done? Is this formatting defined somewhere?

Where can I find base file needed for Euro Truck Simulator 2 mods?

I have tried everything to get mods on Euro Truck Simulator 2 but it says I need a base file. I have looked everywhere but can't find it. Do I have to download it or should it already be there on the system when I downloaded the game onto my computer?


How do I log in with a different account?

My sister downloaded Draw Something on my phone. She thought she could log in as herself, play, then I could log in and play. Since she logged in first it will not let me log in. I have uninstalled app and reinstalled but it always pulls up her account. This has gone on for months. She has it on her phone now and all her drawing drawings come up on my phone too. I want to play too! How can I fix this?


How do I decide between a Wit's End or an Ionic Spark?

**Wit's End** gives 40% AS and +42 Magic Damage **Ionic Spark** gives 50% AS and every fourth attack procs a chain lightning Several builds for AS focused champions such as Irelia recommend a Wit's End, in her case it also benefits `Bladesurge` which helps with killing fleeing enemies. However, in the general case and if I am trying to adapt my equipment to the situation (and I have an AS focused champ) - how to decide between them?


Can you benefit from the +maximal speed while gliding around?

I saw that you can upgrade your maximal speed and the time needed to get to the maximal speed. Now if you obtain them, does this increase the gliding speed or just the running speed? Could this in fact mean that you are faster while running around and climbing up every house than gliding through the air?


Does the AI cheat?

In Starcraft does the Custom Game AI "Cheat"? What I mean is, is the AI limited to the same resources as I am, vision, buildings, etc. I ask because it always seems to know where all my bases are without scouting. Also it seems to have an exceptionally large force for how many bases it has. **Note:** This is referring to the 1998 game, not the current one.


What  factors affect sniper rifle accuracy (horizontal, not bullet drop)

I had been using the SV98 sniper rifle for a while, but could not cause sufficient damage after about 600m, I was getting a lot of bullet drop, and it was difficult to lead a moving enemy. So I switched to the M98B for a faster projectile and flatter trajectory. Since switching I've noticed that my bullet often misses to the left (seems it is always left) when the cross-hairs are dead-on a stationary enemy. This happens at medium range (250-300m) but is more pronounced at long ranges. I know the M98B packs more punch at distance, has flatter trajectory, and gets to the target faster. But if it can't be aimed accurately, it's not much use. Has anyone experienced similar or know if a patch changed the aiming mechanic for sniper rifles? Is there some random percentage chance to not hit where you're aiming? I am playing on PS3.


How do I get the icepick out of the truck in The Walking Dead?

I've tried interacting with every item in all three locations (wall, truck, RV), btu can't find anything that's not dependant on gettign the icepick, which I'll presumably use to kill the zombie near the car. But it's locked in the truck, and the window can't be broken. What am I missing?


What is the best strategy to change my Princess' mood?

My Princess is always depressed or lonely. It seems to be very difficult to change her mood with any sort of quickness, and weekend activities seem to make it very difficult to put her into certain moods. For example, pressure seems to be very difficult to add to without significant adds to other areas. **What is the best strategy for manipulating the mood of my princess?** ![Mood chart](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KyqTY.png)


Killing dwarven caravans

In dwarf fortress (version DF2012), you get a dwarven trade caravan each fall. I know your own civilization will not go to war with you when it gets killed in any way. But are there any other consequences for getting them killed? Due to some construction malfunctions, all the fully loaded wagons got de- constructed, so now I can take all the goods that they where carrying. Will this have any negative consequences? Apart from them just bringing less goods to trade next year, and getting fewer migrants.


Why is there a Level 40 in my ~Level 20 match?

I was playing Tribes: Ascend on the public servers, which are only for people of a certain rank boundary, however I saw by pressing `TAB` that there was a Level 40 on the enemy team. This is twice the average level of the players. Why is this happening? I though the matches were limited by level to stop this.


What do the Pokemon "Characteristics" mean?

How long has Beta server been running in Astro Empires?

I remember playing AE some years ago. I remember that players on beta were pretty well advanced, so I'm now curious: how long did it take for players to get 10 ds's and 100000000*10^n fts and so on? How old is Beta server? I was on beta server in LKW (later GE) if anyone is interested. (I gave up after my political aspirations got the better of me. If anyone is interested we can spin yarns of the old beta)


What are the differences regarding the first choice in starcraft 2?

I recently reached the mission where you have to choose whether to cleanse a colony and side with the protoss, or try to save that colony and fight the protoss. I chose to save the colony, that gave me +3 zerg research, and a nice cut- scene of the doctor leaving the ship and asking me to settle down with her. What is the difference on that mission if one chooses to side with the protoss? Does this choice affect the story somehow? How does the doctor react?


First vault symbol glitch in Wildlife Exploitation Preserve?

I'm in Playthrough 1 as Gaige the Mechromancer, if that matters. I'm jumping on the loading crane trying to ride it over the nearby building to get the first vault symbol, and have died five times in a row. I wait for the crane to lower, and as it starts rising, I let it clear the force field and jump on. When I try from the right side of the crane, i.e. I'm between the crane and the target building, I die almost immediately. I tried that a few times, with the same result each time. So I switched to the opposite side, and thought I had finally made it because the crane rose and started to turn toward the building, but then the game froze for a second and I was re-spawning! This happened twice. After losing almost $20k on this, I thought I'd check to see what's up... has anyone else experienced this problem? Is this a bug in the latest game update?


What is the effect of donating to Allied Supply Crates?

In Dragon Age Origins, I've been recruiting factions and they now appear at my camp, along with Allied Supply Crates. I'm aware that you get XP for donating, but aside from that am wondering what the benefit is of donating and indeed how much I should be donating to each faction? Should I spend a while collecting materials for this, or am is as well simply skipping this?


Starcraft 1 disc 2 isn't continuing the installation

A couple years ago I bought Starcraft Battle Chest. I got a new computer and I'm trying to install it. The problem is that it gets halfway there, and tells me to insert disc 2. But when I insert Brood War it brings up the Brood War installer instead of continuing the installation. If I try to install using the Brood War installer it says that i have to have the original installed. If I close the Brood War installer it just stays at 51%. I am on Windows 7 64 bit if it matters.


What are some pros and cons for the different Zerg and Protoss research options?

In Starcraft 2's single player campaign, two new research options unlock for every 5 Zerg/Protoss research points recovered, up to the maximum of 25 research points per race. What are the pros and cons of the choices available at each tier for Zerg and Protoss research? Are there particular combinations that work particularly well together?

Can I see how many generations I've gone through?

I tend to go through generations _very_ quickly, and it's already built up to the point where counting manually isn't really feasible any more. Is there anywhere that there's a count of how many generations I've gone through?


What happens to costume pieces, powersets etc. when I drop to freemium?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Do Unlocked Things Stay Unlocked After Paid Time Expires? I used to play CoH Trials and for the past 2 years have played 14 trials, sometimes continuously and sometimes on and off. Here's my question: if I have already used CoH Going Rogue on an account and then buy Architect Edition and use it, will I be able to add it to my account? Do I gain anything? Plus, I was thinking, when I revert from VIP to freemium, would I lose my GR AT's and costume pieces, aura's etc.? One more thing, do I get 2 character slots per server or only 2 slots for my entire account?

The game makes me motion sick. So is there any way to manipulate the FOV, be it ENB or any other hack? It surely isn't possible with the options or the config files.


Can I share colors, bombs, contacts between Android and iOS devices?

I've got an iPod touch which I'd like to install the app on, but I use _Draw Something_ on my Samsung Galaxy S II with the paid version. Will I lose colours, bombs, or contacts in changing devices between platforms?


Guild Wars trial key is full of X's and doesn't work

I got a Guild Wars trial key by clicking the free trial button on their website, however, it's full of X's, and trying to plug it into the game doesn't work. I'm really not sure what to do - I can't seem to obtain the full trial code. I checked my email but didn't see any emails from guild wars. Any ideas? Am I missing something really obvious? This is the client that I downloaded. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xSbDK.png)


How to reduce loading times in Forza Motorsport 4?

I have installed the game to my Xbox 360 hard drive, yet the loading times between races are still very slow. Is there anything else I can do to speed the loading times up?


What are the fastest vehicles, and where or how can I get them?

For the different vehicle categories, what are the fastest? And where or how can I get them? Since fully upgrading a vehicle costs a lot of money, it would be nice to know which vehicles are the fastest, so I could focus all upgrades on that particular vehicle.


Do I need to purchase the Online Pass even though I bought it new?

When I went to check out the co-op play option but it says that I haven't purchased the Online Pass and therefore cannot use it. I know that online passes have become more popular in the past year and often require a separate purchase if you buy the game used/secondhand, but so far the precedent I have seen is that you get an online pass if you purchase new. I have purchased Saints Row: The Third brand new (the Platinum Pack even). It didn't seem to come with any separate Online Pass code that I can find in my box. All I had was the code for the Professor Genki DLC. Do I have to purchase the Online Code separately even though I have a new version of the game? Is it possible my box was just missing the code?


Is there any way to see numbers for weapon upgrades in Saints Row: The Third?

Saints Row: The Third has introduced an upgrade system for the weapons. Paying extra cash allows you to upgrade to various levels (I've so far seen 4; I don't know if there's more), but it only has descriptions for its upgrades rather than numbers. For example, in order to upgrade my 45 Shepherd to Level 3, I'd need to pay $10,000. The description says `Increase the size of your clips` but it doesn't say by how much. Without knowing the numbers, I'm not sure whether or not I want to upgrade my weapon or simply buy a new one with better base stats. Is there any way to see actual numbers for the upgrades, either in the game itself or perhaps on a wiki or website somewhere? I'm playing the Xbox 360 version, so I lack the ability to install any mods or check any files for myself.


Scripting a pause in steam

Is there a way to make a steamscript wait/hold for a certain time before the next action/command gets executed? I found the `wait` command and apparently it was used in TF2 scripts. I tried using it in DotA2 but the console tells me that it does not know the command. Is there any way around this/archiving the same outcome?


How to get past the stone head in Karthspire?

I'm in a room in Karthspire with this huge head. There aren't any obvious things to trigger except for several plates on the ground about the location where my character is located in the following figure. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/t7ms3.jpg) Any ideas on how to get past this room?
