How do I get to the Windmill?

How do I get to the windmill (presumably the dungeon where I will obtain the Pendant of Wisdom)? Link can't swim, and the island doesn't seem to be connected to anything. I _know_ I'm missing something obvious here, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.


Lost my space car in gta v

Ok so I got the space car and was driving it and got cops. Then when they killed me I lost the space car. Is it gone forever or how can I get it back or get a new one?


Offline with Bots?

Is there any way for me to directly modify how many players are on each team for CS:GO? I don't have a very good computer, and the default 5v5 makes running CS:GO a real pain. I'd really like to only start out with 3v3s, realisticlly, but I don't know how to modify server settings. What should I do to make offline with bots a lot easier on my computer?


What counts towards weapon skill?

What actions in game count towards your skill with a given weapon? For example, I can get 408 points in a round for a weapon, which indicates it's not simply the 100pts per kill being applied to the stat. My assumption is kill assist points also apply. Does anything else?


USB hub problems on the Xbox 360

I got a USB hub on my Xbox 360 Slim, so that I could have more space. How come neither of my flashdrives showed up on the any of the storage devices?


Steam repeatedly pauses downloads

**The problem:** when I am downloading anything with Steam, no matter where I am or what I am connected to, it pauses the download after a few seconds. **Behavior:**   * Select item to download   * Navigate to library -> downloads   * [probz] Game is displayed "downloading", network speed listed, etc (normal behavior)   * [see **Picture 1** below]   * After a few seconds, game stops downloading   * Game is now listed as "update required (not queued)"    * [see **Picture 2** below]   * Click "move to top of queue"   * goto [probz] **Picture 1** ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/qEwMl.png) **Picture 2** ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ii3GW.png) I can workaround this by babysitting the "move to top of queue" button but for large games this isn't practical. **Things I have tried:**   * Wired connection   * Using a different network (many, many different networks)   * Changing Steam download server/location   * Reinstalling Steam   * Deleting tons of Steam files and redownloading them   * Freeing up disk space   * Changing download speed/limit on Steam   * Stopping background programs/other internet accessors   * Adding "-tcp" flag to Steam launch options   * Running as administrator   * Crying This is a problem I've been having for some time and have tried many solutions (see above). I'd love to see a definitive solution to it, especially since I pretty much can't play any game > 1 gb. **OS:** Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit **System:** Lenovo T420 (laptop), Intel i7-2620M, 8gb ram, NVIDIA NVS 4200M **Connection:** Up to 45 mpbs AT&T UVerse (usually clocks in at around 30-something) **EDIT:** I would like to note that I used to work in CS (see my Stack Overflow profile), so I do know how to do things like "make sure your internet connection works", "don't let other programs hog bandwidth", and "disable background processes". Because my internet connection works perfectly for everything else I do, including high-bandwith activities (gaming, netflix, other downloading) I would guess that it is not the problem. Especially since I can workaround through queue babysitting (see above). The ONLY problem I have is with Steam, and ONLY when downloading new games. Thanks for the suggestions so far.


How do I restore a saved game in Don't Starve?

I hate to ask a stupid question, but, I just started playing Don't Starve this evening. I know the game saves every time a day passes, but when I die I have not seen any option for restoring that saved progress. Why does the game save progress if you can't restore it? Is that just so you can quit the game and pick up close to where you left off?


Does using "Energy Root" to restore HP have any negative effects on Pokemon?

I've been starting to buy from the herb shop in Lumiose city, because the price per HP is much better there. However the description of the "Energy Root" notes that it is very bitter, does this have any negative effects on my Pokemon, or does it not matter?


Why can't I craft anything with items from cheats?

I wanted to do some testing with the Nether so I made a fresh world on Survival, with cheats enabled. I used the following command to give myself 64 diamonds: > /give [me] 264 64 264 But for some reason I can't craft with them: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0BK27.png) I tried this on a couple different worlds and I have the same problem. So I downloaded a fresh Minecraft install from the website (1.4.2), and deleted the .minecraft folder so a new one would be generated. Created a brand new world, survival, with cheats enabled, same problem. What am I doing wrong? Is it normal to not be able to craft with cheated items?


How do I analyze a replay in SC2 and show useful statistics?

I used to use BWChart to analyze replays in Starcraft and the Broodwar expansion. BWChart allowed this by showing very useful statistics. Is there any way I can see and analyze statistics in a similar fashion for Starcraft 2?


Does the aim penalty from the Suppression ability stack?

Among its other effects, the Suppression ability inflicts an aim debuff (-30 to aim) on the target. If multiple units use Suppression on a single target, do the aim debuffs stack?


Making mobs ride other mobs in Minecraft

As of the latest Minecraft snapshot (13W09A), it is now possible for mobs to ride other mobs. Is there any way to make mobs ride each other in Minecraft now (i. e. placing a pig on top of a spider, and then placing a skeleton on top of the pig?),


Where is the 1.9.0 update secret level

The new 1.9.0 where's my water update says in its description: > To celebrate the release of "Swampy's Underground Adventures" – Disney's new > Youtube series based on Where's My Water – we've updated with a new hidden > level! Here's a hint: Look for the Fire Extinguisher! Additionally for all > of those Mystery Duck owners, enjoy 20 new levels! How do I access that secret level?


What can happen while you fly from your XCOM base to an event?

This other question got me wondering: Is it better to spread out my satellites or concentrate them in one area? It simply asks: > Should I try to strengthen one area on the map **to make travel times > shorter** or try to cover as much of the globe as possible? I've added the emphasis as it forms the basis for my question. So far as I can tell, only positive things happen while your troops fly to and fro:   * Time passes   * _Possibly_ events are completed That's all I can think of, but I've only witnessed the first. That being said, the simple passage of time during early stages of the game will get you that much closer to your council report, and therefore much-needed credits. A possible strategy might be to specifically target distant countries for your satellite launches (as panic permits) to maximize travel time (when UFO's are detected) and therefore minimize time spent subject to alien activity. Or maybe that small amount of time is insignificant; I'm still pretty new. Has anyone ever returned from a mission to find events were completed (i.e. a Foundry project is finished)? Or maybe they complete the instant you begin scanning for activity? Can anything else occur during travel time?


How do you resurrect Allies?

There are two achievements that require you to resurrect an Allie in a cooperative game. I have played some coop matches already, but wasn't aware this was even possible. How can you resurrect people? Is it a certain skill, or available to all classes?


Minecraft broken level dat

While i was playing minecraft (using linux) the power went out and turned the computer off, when i turned it back on i brought minecraft (Feed the beast mod packs) back up and i noticed it all the "news" was restarted, i launched minecraft and my save was gone so i checked the files and i found that instead of the level .dat being a package it was a document. Does anyone know how to fix the level dat?


Handling Mass Sentry as a Zerg

I have once again battled with a Protoss. This time the build was a lot of sentries, a handful of stalkers and some Immortals. I want Roaches, Hydras, and Lings. The map was Lost Temple. Any clash just went with him dishing out a lot of Force Fields, outranging my roaches with Stalkers and trapping my lings. The hydras can fire but with only hydras as the only "functional unit' against a ton of Force Fields, I was sure crushed. When protoss goes like this, is there anyway to deal with it using land units only and no Ultras?


How do I kill a drone operator by blowing up their drone?

One of the Assault Challenges in Splinter Cell Blacklist is to do the following: > ### Backfire > > Kill 2 drone operators by blowing up their drones. Should sound simple right? Well... drone operators are heavily armored with a helmet. Heavily armored enemies are immune to explosions (as far as I can tell). An explosion merely knocks them off their feet and they just get back up again. Anyone see the problem here? **How the heck am I supposed to kill these guys with one of their drones?** It's frustrating enough trying to find one of them easily accessible. I'm even going using Rookie difficulty just to make my job easier. And still, even when I shoot the one he drops right at his feet, he never dies... Knocking his helmet off doesn't seem to make a difference either, he just flies away further than usual. One managed to die this way but it didn't even count... what gives?


Is there a limit for the bonus experience % that you can get? Say you equip   * Cain's Laurel, socketed with a Star ruby +25%   * 2 other Cain's set items +30%   * hellfire ring +35% This will give you 90% bonus experience, is there a limit?


When do the player data files update in Minecraft SMP servers?

I'd like to know exactly when the `<playername>.dat` files are saved on the server. (I'd like to run a script that tracks the players' locations and inventories, and this is crucial to whether this script will work or not.)


Why do I spawn randomly when copying my singleplayer world into a multiplayer server?

When I place my Singleplayer map in my server I spawn randomly! I've checked, the world isn't using the same seed. I copy the world, paste it into the server, delete the folder called 'world' and rename the new map, 'world'.


Outposts vs new cities in Fallen Enchantress

What's a point of building outposts instead of cities? It seems there is no penalty for having a lot of cities, so why waste pioneer on an outpost?


What's the most efficient mining pattern?

Assuming that you are going to start mining from surface to underground, what is the most efficient mining pattern that guarantees the highest probabilities to find mineral? It would be nice to have a pattern that allow also to go back to the surface easily.


Is it feasible to solo farm the Uber bosses?

I'm getting ready to build my Infernal Machines, and I'm trying to decide if I should start looking for groups to run with, or if I can handle the fights solo. Given how time-intesive it is to obtain sufficient keys to build a sufficient number of Infernal Machines, I'd like to complete the Uber boss fights on a higher MP level. It seems like most of the strategies I see assume you are in a group, so you can split the bosses. Is that required, or are other tactics for a solo player viable? I can comfortably farm MP4 with my MF gear, and could probably handle MP6 or even higher. **Is it realistic to expect to be able to solo farm Uber bosses at, or slightly below, the MP level I am comfortable farming?** If class is a determining factor, I play a Witch Doctor.


How do beam weapons damage enemy crew?

Do I need to draw the beam directly across the enemy crew member, i.e. exactly over where they are stood, or does just damaging the room they are in also hurt any crew in that room?


Mass Effect - custom character creation

Just starting Mass Effect. Given how much I've read about 'John Shepard', I'm wondering if it is worth creating a custom character (which I would normally do), or if it is best to go with the standard male character?


Bukkit Permissions: Owner group not giving me all permissions

I am running a Minecraft server with Bukkit and everything works fine. I set up the permissions using Group Manager and the Default group works well. However, I added myself to the Owner group and do not have all permissions. How can I make it so that I have all permissions? I tried using the `*` and `bukkit.command.*` nodes with no luck, along with being op.


Is it possible to kill the Ceadeus with SNS?

I was only able to repel/kill the Ceadeus using the longsword. However, I much prefer to use the SNS personally. I was wondering if it was even possible to kill/repel the Ceadeus with SNS. Thanks! N.S.


How to obtain Skyrim DLCs on the PS3?

I have Skyrim for PS3 but not the Legendary Edition. Is it possible to download the extra content such as Hearthfire? When I go to Downloads on the main screen it doesn't give me the option for any DLC.


What is bonus EXP?

As the title states, I am curious as to what bonus exp is in the game. I read that there are different bonuses for killing monsters higher and lower than your current level. What are the ranges/bonuses? Does this also affect how much gold/items that are dropped? On the flip side, are the penalties as well?


How do I fight multiple enemies effectively?

Fighting one tough opponent is no problem. Dodge, attack, dodge, etc. The "automatic aiming" ensures I will always hit when in range. **But how are you supposed to fight multiple opponents, surrounding you, striking you from behind?** In other games like Darksiders or Assassin's Creed, you can just press a direction and the protagonist will lash out in that direction. This way you can always attack the enemy who poses the greatest threat. But in The Witcher 2, you can only ever attack the opponent currently selected, and even when performing a slow attack, wielding the long sword in a wide arc, only the selected opponent will be hit. Sure you can turn the camera to have the game select another foe, but it's extremely "sticky". (I'm playing with Mouse+Keyboard. I also have an Xbox 360 gamepad) Currently, I run around in circles, wait for the monsters to line up, hit the first one a couple of times, and then run like hell. It's neither fun nor does it feel very heroic. For instance: **How did you fight off the Scoia'Tel that attack while Triss casts her force field (at the beginning)?** I don't think I killed a single one of those elves. I was just running/dodging around Triss until we arrived at the village.


What changes does the Starbow mod make to units, spells, and tech trees?

There's recently been a lot of hype about Starbow and I've been playing the mod plenty. However, it would be nice to be able to read about changes, unit tweaks, and new spells while not in the game so I can think about them casually. What are the changes made to SC2 and Brood War units, tech trees, and the like for this mod?


Is there a cap or soft-cap in % chance to find magic items? Should I stop stacking MF items at some point?


Do more surplus resources mean greater War Asset?

When I imported by Mass Effect 2 save to Mass Effect 3, one of my War Assets were surplus resources which were collected from the Normandy SR2 when the Alliance was doing the retrofit. I am wondering, since my score of this asset was 25, would it be higher if I got more surplus resources in Mass Effect 2 and started a new game in Mass Effect 3 with an updated Mass Effect 2 game, would I get a better score or does it remain at 25.


What to re-roll on weapon in order to optimize DPS?

I have found this weapon: ![Slanderer](http://i.stack.imgur.com/p4Q3R.png) Luckily, it already has a socket so I can re-roll other stats. The +damage can roll up to 1490 instead of 1347. But I can also re-roll the resource cost reduction to gain +10% damage. Which one gives me more damage, an extra +140 or extra 10%?


What are the standard ways to Build and Play Olaf?

I've recently purchased Olaf but seem to struggle in games to get kills with him. I'm looking for a good talend/rune builds for him, as well as champion specific advice for using Olaf in:   * Team Fights   * 1v1's   * Gank Attemps   * Laning   * Jungling


Is there a utility to replace one block type with another within a region?

I'd like to be able to select a region (either with a graphical utility or command line) and be able to switch one block type with another, e.g. change all cobblestone in the region to stone. Does a program/mod exist that can do this?


Can you permanently miss the dragon buster sword in Demon's Souls?

Yesterday, I killed the Dragon God in Demon's Souls. Since I died a few times trying, I didn't do it with pure white tendency. Afterwards, I got a glimpse at the Dragon Buster Sword in the rock and realized that I needed to kill the dragon. If I get the tendency to full white again, and kill him as a phantom helping another guy, will I be able to get the DBS or do I need to do another play through?

How many levels are there in Minesweeper adventure mode?

I have been persisting at the Windows 8 minesweeper adventure mode in the hopes that I could complete it, but after getting past level 100, I am wondering if perhaps it just generates levels indefinitely? Does anyone know if the game actually has an end? ![minesweeper level 100](http://i.stack.imgur.com/8kdHT.jpg)


Can I deactivate a PS3 I can no longer use?

I have an old PS3 that no longer boots (yellow light of death). I haven't yet reached my limit of activated PSN devices (as I understand there's a limit to how many places you can download content). Can I deactivate this device remotely? Similar services like Amazon MP3/Kindle let me remote access remotely. Can I do that? Does it matter for the number of activated devices?


How do I change my camera view?

Back up saved games in Galaxy on Fire 2

How can I back up saved games in Galaxy on Fire 2 on my Android phone, so that I can restore them e.g. when the phone breaks etc.?


Are firearm statistics consistent across weapon classes in Mass Effect 3?

While playing Mass Effect 3, I noticed that the various firearm statistics sliders are all the same length, but unlike powers, there are no units listed. That means that you can only compare your weapons to some theoretical "optimum" value, as shown below. ![Weapon Stats](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bED7X.png) But, when you find a second weapon of the same type, you can compare the two of them. (The interface even gives you a helpful guide line so that you can see whether the quality will increase or decrease.) ![Weapon Comparison](http://i.stack.imgur.com/pb3ay.png) But what about when you want to compare two weapons of different types? ![Raptor vs Carnifex](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eOolS.png) **Does this really mean that my heavy pistol is as accurate as a sniper rifle? Or, for that matter, if my submachine gun and my pistol are the same weight, can I swap them without changing my cooldown penalty? Or are cross-category weapon comparisons meaningless?**


How do Foundry upgrades work?

I've just built my first foundry, and I have a few questions.   1. Are the upgraded items upgraded automatically, for items previously created?   2. Is there any extra cost to build something after I've made it better in the Foundry?


How do I see what kits my team is using?

The "Select Class" menu shows how many people are what class (Assault, Support, etc.), but how do I see, for example, how many Medics or Engineers we have?


What specific actions decrease a weapon's condition?

I know that "using" a weapon will cause its condition to decrease. What _specific_ actions will cause the condition to drop?      Is it only if a weapon connects with an enemy and causes damage?   What if a weapon is used to break an object (boxes, vases, etc.)?   Does simply swinging or shooting a weapon cause a decrease in condition over time even if it doesn't connect with anything?      Are the specific actions that decrease a weapon's condition universal or are there different conditions for different weapon types (daggers, fae blades, longbows, sceptres, etc.)?      If there are different actions that can decrease a weapon's condition, does one decrease the condition more than another (if striking an object and striking an enemy both decrease a weapon's condition, does striking an enemy decrease the condition more quickly)?


Age of Empires Online Skirmish Strategy

So i almost feel embarrased to say that i got my butt handed to me by a computer on standard. From my previous experiences with Age of Empires i would've thought I stood a better chance, yet I found myself constantly dominated in every aspect of the game. The computer had control of almost every resource and any counter i threw at him was met with a smaller force that seemed to wreck my army. I feel like maybe my way of gathering resources was inefficient or the way maybe im building wrong. I usually start out by putting my workers half and half with food and wood, then continue to spend the rest of my food on workers till i have a decent amount. It took me a while to get to Age 2 and even longer to get to Age 3 and I gave up after that. I had one barracks towards the end i built a second, an archery range, and some other building that builds healers. also I'm playing as the Celtics, and im level 6.


Why did I have a random Frost Troll attack in town?

I was waiting in Dawnstar to allow the Khajiit merchant's gold to reset. When it stopped, half the town was dead and a random Frost Troll had appeared. Dawnstar no longer has a blacksmith, nor do the mines have owners. Does anyone know why this has happened?


Do all of the MW3 sniper rifles perform equally for quickscoping?

Or do they have different speeds and accuracy?


Can I cancel my ultimate after I've held down the left mouse button?

I've been playing Sona quite a bit, and I really do like the support role. However I've been missing her skill shot (her ultimate which is her stun) more often then I'd like to admit. I noticed that if I press the "R" button (it brings up a sight to show me where it will hit) then press my mouse button the stun won't fire until I take my finger off of the button. So is there anyway for me to cancel it? mainly, because sometimes the enemy is already out of range or I made a mistake on where I thought they'd go off to. I found an old gif on Sona's LoL wiki page showing it in action: ![Crescendo](http://i.stack.imgur.com/lUkXH.gif)


When I go into the Dark Brotherhood's sanctuary, my followers do not come in with me?

This is the first time I'm being with the Dark Brotherhood. When I go into their home my followers do not come with me? Why is that?


What are the pros and cons of each life gaining stat?

Are there a huge difference between the two? Which is better? Let's say 60 Life on Spirit Spent or 500 Life on Hit? I apologize due to the lack of my experience with the Monk class. However, I am very interested in the theorycraft of Life Per Spirit / Life On Hit / Spirit per second / % Life per Damage viable after achiving X DPS in inferno mode.


Performance issues with game

My game lags in single player mode, often to the point that it crashes. If it doesn't crash, it gets to so few FPS that when I right-click doors to close them, they close and then immediately open again, and when i right-click to place blocks, instead of placing one the game will place several... Usually only 2, but lately (and especially since the snapshot 12w24a) it will place 3. The most i've ever seen is 4 blocks placed by one click, that has only happened once. I have tried to download the Optifine that everyone is talking about...all I can find is blogs about it and sites with possibly flesh-eat viruses. I may have ruined my computer in the last 10 minutes trying to download it. My reader distance is already set to short, that used to help but since the snapshot it doesn't make any differance. I've taken off the clouds and basically everything else you can do from in-game to make it run better, and it just seems to be getting worse. In fact, since the update when I first load the level it's only about 5 chunks big and then immediately drops off into a giant abyss in ever direction. I have to wait several minutes for it to load a full level and replace the void, and when it does it moves me back to the spawn and takes away anything I have done. Also since the snapshot, animals and blocks will randomly freeze for an unspecified amount of time and I can run around but not interact with anything. Someone please help - I love minecraft, but it's getting literally unplayable.


How do I untrigger scroll lock on the map view?

I just won a combat after-which it was impossible for me to scroll around the main map with my mouse. I was locked entirely to the area centered around my hero. I checked under the hotkeys, but I didn't see any sort of "scroll lock" toggle. What do I need to do to be able to scroll the map again? (Or is this just a bug like the flickering cursor?)


Can the Templar (follower) actually tank Act 3 and 4 Inferno?

I cannot afford to equip my Templar with really good items, as I have to use all my money on my main char. The Templar seems to do really nice in Act 1 with the gear I gave him. This looks quite different in Act 2. Here he can only divert the enemy for a few hits until he dies. Act 3 is a disaster, he usually just dies from 1 to two hits. I need him to tank about 5-7 hits so my DH can deal the required damage without getting bothered. Can I somehow equip him with gear that he can actually help in Act 3 and 4 or am I on my own from now on? What items should I look for? Again the question is not: What follower should I use, but can I use the Templar with really good gear in Act 3 and 4?


How can I store things in lead bins?

I've got a fortress circling the death drain. Half the population managed to thirst themselves to death despite a non-zero quantity of booze available, and matters only got worse when the legendary miners started tantrum-ing. (My poor mason still alternates clutching at the stump of his right hand and his still- open guts, which now trail 2 tiles behind him like a horrifying tail of viscera) I'm ready to abandon and reclaim, but I've excavated a _ton_ of stone and gems, and for the gems at least, I'd prefer they weren't all scattered upon my return (less hauling jobs, at least). I know that heavier things, i.e., the lead bins I've been making, are less likely to move around, but the problem is that the majority of my bins are made of some sort of wood. How do I get my dwarves to move the gems from the wooden bins to the lead ones?


What happens if you force field but there's no more room?

Minecraft Mod: look through nether portal (gl nether mod)

I watched this video Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 200: 200th Special . At about 23 minutes he mentions a mod called something like "gl nether mod". This mod looks really cool, but i can't find it anywhere. :( Has it been removed? Or moved to another mod? Or is the mod just too old, and no longer updated? Hope anyone can help.


What to do with excess Great Generals in G+K?

I'm playing for a Conquest victory in G+K. Before G+K, when Great Generals start popping up, I would use 2 or 3 for combat and rest for Golden Age. G+K altered the Great Person mechanics so much that I have to unlearn the above strategy. The only non-combat function is building a Citadel and convert surrounding tiles into your territory. I have limited use for this feature and all I can do is to park each one into my cities. Can anyone suggest a better way to dispose excess GG under G+K? Thanks.


Gaining Faith/founding religions on King (or higher) difficulties

This wasn't really a problem on Prince, but the AI is founding pantheons ridiculously quickly on King. I'll start researching Pottery first and before I even complete that 3 other civilizations have founded Pantheons and snagged the the beliefs that I wanted. How can I snag beliefs as quickly as the AI does on King? Right now it seems the only thing I can do is hope for for a faith CS or ancient ruin.


How can I have more than three gang members in my vehicle?

I can have up to seven gang members following me but I can't find any vehicle that allows me to drive more than three of them with me. Can it be done in anyway, be it by finding a vehicle in the game that does the job or a game mod?


In Ingress, can I link to a portal with less than 8 resonators?

If I have a key to a portal with 8 resonators, and I approach a portal with only 7 resonators, I cannot link the portals - I have to add a resonator first. But what about the opposite situation? If I have a key to a portal with only 7 resonators, and I approach a portal with 8 resonators, can I create a link between them? (If not, there may be some point to destroying only one resonator of a strong enemy portal - to prevent links from being created.)


Has anyone gotten SD Gundam Capsule Fighter to run on Linux?

My current setup is running Wine version 1.4.1 on Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail. Most of the games I've installed via wine worked well on 13.04. I am able to download the OG Planet Game Launcher and it seems to run fine on Wine. Then I click the link from the launcher that downloads SD Gundam Capsule Fighter. It's a 3.1mb file named `SDGO_130212.exe`. Clearly this file is too small to be the game. Running the file with Wine does absolutely nothing. Has any one gotten this game to work via Wine? Is there an alternative download where I can download the full version of the game?


Can PSP Batteries be recharged via USB?

I've obtained a recharging cable for my PSP that has a USB plug at the end rather than an AC adapter. I have a Lithium Ion Battery Pack which i use to charge up my iPhone when it's low on power and I have a bunch of those wall plugs you get with Apple devices that allow a USB cable to be plugged in. I'm wondering if I can use this USB charge cable on my battery pack and the wall charger without any damage to the battery of the PSP system? Note: The PSP I'm mainly talking about is my First Gen PSP but I also have a PSP 2000.


How can I earn a bunch of arrowheads quickly in Psychonauts?

I've finished Lungfishopolis, blown my stash of arrowheads on the magnet-thing and a couple of psy cores, and just started the Milkman Conspiracy. And now I'm suddenly shown a warning that says "You should have the Cobweb thing, or you won't get far in the Milkman Conspiracy." It costs 800 arrowheads. I just spent all of my arrowheads. I am sad. (And I've tried doing the Milkman Conspiracy anyway. I can do some stuff, but I need some particular items to get further in the game. Those items are, as far as I can tell, behind the cobwebs that block off some of the houses.) I've already bought the dowsing rod and dug up about a half-dozen deep arrowheads, so that source of easy money is already partly depleted. **Is there any other way to make 800 arrowheads in a relative hurry?** I'm not particularly fond of grinding; I've only earned a cumulative total of around 500 arrowheads so far.


Life steal or LOH better for Sweeping Wind/Cyclone build?

As the title says. I'm currently using a 2-hander build with Wave of Light, but having just sold a very nice amulet for 220m gold, I'm looking to convert to a dual-wield SW build like all the cool kids are using. For reference, right now my weapon is a 1500 LOH, 5.4% LS 2h sword and I'm doing MP3 with no problems. It's rather slow though on account of having relatively little +crit damage.


I lost all of my unlocks and challenges in Aliens: Colonial Marines; is it possible to get them back?

Yesterday I bought the Sawed-Off Double-Barrel Shotgun for Aliens: Colonial Marines on XBOX 360; I get on the game, and all of my stuff has been reset: my skins, my challenges, my campaign progress, my weapons, my perks; everything. It left me so upset, and I want to know if there is any way to get my stuff back.


How is fall damage calculated in Minecraft?

How does the game determine how much damage you take? Is there a formula out there that determines how many hearts of damage you take per blocks fallen?


Characters with good synergy in ME3 Multiplayer

Yesterday I happened to play with my N7 Fury and one of my teammates had his Drell Adept, with both characters at, or close to L20. I have to say that the game had never been this fun! :) Those two characters are amazing together, benefiting from a fantastic synergy. Both fast and agile, packed with biotic powers triggering not only their own also each others biotic explosions. We practically destroyed collectors, as a team, and the two adepts were more often than not the saviors of the team. Even praetorians, or packs of possessed scions were relatively easy to sick given some wiggle room on the field. Now I wonder what other characters have such good synergy. Which team compositions are as deadly, considering there are not only biotic explosion but also tech bursts, fire explosions etc etc.

Free games on PlayStation Network and PlayStation Plus

I'll be buying my 2nd game console this season since PSX, and I'm leaning towards PS3. PS4 won't be available until early next year because of stock constraints. Just a couple of questions or so before I finalize everything.   1. Are there still free games on PSN?   2. If you go online with PSN, can you join a PS+ (eg Ghost) online game?   3. If you buy a game with PS+, can you still play online?


How do you get the Bros to the Close achievement?

The achievement states: Complete mission 4 without one preventable Marine death on Heroic or harder... Can someone clarify this? Do we have to save marines that are under attack? Or do we just have to keep the marines that later join our party alive ? If a marine dies, and you reload to a checkpoint (or die), can you still get this achievement - or do you have to start the complete mission over?


How can I find the relics for the Archaeology 101 achievement?

Where can I find the Cerberus Turian Poison?

My galaxy is currently 100% scanned and I haven't found any sign of a sample of Cerberus Turian Poison. Is it located in a galaxy I just haven't unlocked yet? Or perhaps in the Priority missions I'm waiting to do? Considering how some missions become impossible to complete after certain Priority missions sometimes, I'm trying to put off the ones I have (Eden Prime and Perseus Veil) until absolutely necessary.


Is it possible to give or receive false intrigues from the AI?

Can I win a science victory after I win a cultural victory?

I wanted to win a science victory right after winning a cultural victory. To win a science victory, I have to build a bunch of spaceship parts and move them to my capital, where they are assembled. Thing is, I can't stack units, so either the spaceship parts can't move to the capital if there is another part there, or they just switch spots. Is this normal, or it is a bug?


Bright screen glitch when using an UAV of Modern Warfare 2 for PS3

I own an original copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for PlayStation 3. I have encountered an error/graphical glitch that no one else on the internet seems to have. The glitch is the following: in the snow level (where Price and the rest raid a submarine base), both in the campaign and special ops mode, when I select the UAV attack, the screen turns very bright, almost fully white (just the 3D, the HUD can be seen well). This is not only very annoying, but practically prevents me from using the attack because I have no way of seeing where it is going to hit, unless I make some really wild guesses. At first I thought it was some added challenge, like the UAV camera being dazed by the snow, but after looking up some walkthrough videos on the internet I realized it was a glitch. Anyone else found it? Does it have a fix? The game is updated to the latest version.


Is it Possible to play Dead Rising 3 Indefinitely?

While playing Dead Rising 3, you find out that: > You have to get out of the main town before the US Military bombs it due to > zombies. You have ~5 days to [continue the story line and] get out. Is it possible to keep feeding my desire to kill zombies without worrying about the event to come? I also ask this because I want to see all tragic endings and obtain all collectibles around the map (which is very time consuming). I am playing on Normal Difficulty - which the game told me when I selected this difficulty that it will allow me more time to collect items.

How do I clear volcanic crusts?

I need to clear some volcanic crusts so I can have some more space to build. I know that it is theoretically possible, because when I hover over them, it says "Can be cleared." Normally I would just use the Hand of God, but it doesn't seem to work here, and I can't tell my workers to do anything about it either. How do I make them disappear?


Does Chocolina have something for me after I complete her mini-quest in Sazh: Heads or Tails?

In the _Sazh: Heads or Tails?_ DLC, you need to get 30 medals in order to complete the main quest. I got those medals via the poker mini-game before realizing you can get three from completing a mini-quest for Chocolina. I completed the mini-quest, and now the game says that Chocolina doesn't have anything for me now, but that I should continue playing card games and check back later. Does she actually have something, or is this just a cue for people who still need more medals? If she does have something, did I miss out by not completing the quest at the appropriate time (before completing the main quest)? If not, how many card games should I play before checking back?


What's the minimum number of current/former squadmates I can lose on a ME3 playthrough?

A couple of times over the course of this game I've lost squadmates - typically ones from Mass Effect 2. I think _some_ of these are preventable, but it seems like in at least one case on the Krogan homeworld, I'd have to have sacrificed a different squadmate earlier in order to avoid a death there. I hate getting my squadmates killed. I'd like to see everyone survive the events of ME3 that can realistically do so. What's the minimum number of squadmates that must die? Who are they, and why can't I save them?


How do you beat frost dragons in Skyrim?

How to silence Rock Band drums

Is there some product / hack / technique to minimize the noise from hitting the drum with the stick? Or alternatively, are there drum sets designed with minimal noise in mind? Because I find that the sound of drumming can easily drown out the song unless the game volume is cranked waaaay up. I've found this very interesting thread which discusses that, suggesting coating the stick heads with rubber, gluing mouse pads or cork to the drum surface, etc.. I've also seen some product(s) from Ion that claim to be low- noise, but I don't really know what that means. Has anyone succeeded in silencing their drum set? What method would you recommend?

I'd like to know if anyone has any tactics or whatever to overcome the campers


What is the easiest way to block this submerged tunnel under my walls?

What is the progression route in Terraria?

I'm kind of stuck in Terraria. I have full silver armor and 12 hearts (gold/silver gear). I have just killed the Eye of Cthulhu. I was thinking about gathering gold armor, but gold is damn scarce. I have tried searching for floating islands (at 406 altitude) but if I go to far I get attacked by Harpies, and I can't build a sky bridge and fight them at the same time. My meteorite landed in corruption and it's impossible to collect it (I get swarmed by meteor heads with no way to run). So what is the most natural progression? Should I try and find gold (where?), try to kill the Eater of Worlds, try to mine meteorite or try to fight off imps and collect some hellstone?


Minecraft Forum, MoTD how do you change it!

What should I do if I'm confused in a small space?

In my best game of Brogue so far, I picked up Ifrit from an orb. On depth 16, everything is going well - Ifrit and a centaur, and decent equipment. ![Depth 16, with an Ifrit, in a small corridor.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/XgYCR.png) ![My equipment.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/F1Hxo.png) But suddenly, disaster: My centaur triggers a confusion trap. ![Two turns later, confusion trap triggered.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4xIRF.png) In the small hallway, the gas is dense and no one can get away. Worse, a wraith walks in too. They just keep hitting it over and over, and I can't get to it to stand on it. ![Confusion gas everywhere, and pets and enemies just keep on triggering it.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/HqPIA.png) Eventually, Ifrit wandered off and while still confused, got sniped to death by three sentinels over a giant pit. I survived (barely) but met my end on the next level without my bro. Given what I've got - notably, no healing, no teleport, and no fire - what's the optimal way to deal with this situation?

The Chimera's one of the new Heartless that spawn at the manor in Halloween Town, later on in the game. I've fought it once and I've heard that it is the only way you can get Blazing Stones in the game. I'm wondering if it's farmable for Blazing Stones, or if it's just a one-time Heartless.


Oblivion (quests and races)

Since Oblivion is the first of the Elder Scrolls games that I'm going to try I was wondering if somebody could recommend a tutorial or any web-page where I'd be able to find useful information. like tips, quests etc. I'd love to play a stealth character, but I had the chance to notice that it'd be really hard so that's why I'm here. I tried building an archer: wood elf / thief / assassin. Thanks in advance.


Can't play Bobsled Bonanza on my iPod

This is the only minigame that causes the application to crash; however, this only happens with my username. If I use another username in the same device (i.e. my boyfriend's) he is able to play the game without the application being closed. Has anybody had this glitch? How did you fix it?


At What Sector is it Reasonable to Acquire Scrap Recovery Arm?

The scrap recovery arm costs 50 scrap and Gives you +10% scrap on acquisition other than selling items (rounded down.) Given that you have to spend scrap to earn scrap, at what sector does it make sense to invest in the SRA? I'd imagine you'd want to have a significant gain to make up for early scrap disadvantage. This question's answer will vary based on difficulty, as that impacts scrap rewards as well as the necessity for early scrap.


Lego Movie game - 2nd controller configuration not being saved

I have been playing the Lego Movie game on my Windows 7 PC fine for a while. However, recently the 2nd player controller configuration is not getting saved. Every time I go back to the control configuration, it says "no device selected". When I choose "change device", I am able to correctly add a device (i.e., the game goes detect the keyboard or gamepad), but when I accept and go back to configuration, it is back to "no device selected". I can save video settings changes. I also tested whether the controller I was using for the 2nd player works for the 1st player, which it does and also gets saved properly. I tried running in Administrator Mode and it did not make a difference. In other saved games, I can change the 2nd player controller and that works fine. In my saved game, I can change the 1st player controller and that works fine. But I am unable to change the 2nd player controller (even to keyboard, which does not save). I was looking for some (perhaps corrupted) configuration file that I could delete.


How much does Fertility boost percentages?

In Reus, the fertility boosts say that they give a greater chance to get better aspects on a source. When I use a level 1 Fertility Boost on a patch and then use a level 1 Leaf Aspect, it gives a 100% chance of a Potent Leaf Aspect. However, when I use a level 2 Fertility Boost and a level 2 Leaf Aspect, I do not get 100% chance for a Greater Leaf Aspect. So what is the chance?   * No Fertility Boost      * Level 1 Aspect: 66% Lesser, 33% Potent     * Level 2 Aspect: 66% Potent, 33% Greater     * Level 3 Aspect: 66% Greater, 33% Sublime   * Level 1 Fertility Boost      * Level 1 Aspect: 100% Potent     * Level 2 Aspect: Same as no boost?     * Level 3 Aspect: Same as no boost?   * Level 2 Fertility Boost      * Level 1 Aspect: 100% Potent     * Level 2 Aspect: ???     * Level 3 Aspect: Same as no boost?   * Level 3 Fertility Boost      * Level 1 Aspect: 100% Potent     * Level 2 Aspect: Same as Level 2 Fertility Boost?     * Level 3 Aspect: ??? Side note: I am aware that fertility boosts make the aspects better. An aspect given on a patch with a fertility boost will have the ability to give better results based on the Natura on the patch.

How do I run more than one city simultaneously?

I recently asked this question regarding if it's possible to run SimCity in the background. (In retrospect, this was a stupid question because if I had spent a moment to play with it myself I would have realized the answer was an obvious "Yes", but that's besides the point.) Now that I know the answer is yes, I am interested if it is possible to run two instances of SimCity simultaneously. For example, it would be nice to have one 'stable' city running in the background accumulating wealth with me actually playing a developing city in the foreground. As it stands now, if I just want to pass time in one city to earn some effortless cash, I can't actually play the game (unless you count staring at the screen doing nothing but watching a number increase as "playing"). I've tried the obvious things: Origin won't let you click the "Play" button while the game is running, and simply double-clicking the .exe file itself just brings up the current window. So then, is there a way to run multiple instances of SimCity simultaneously on the same computer so as be able to play more than one city simultaneously?


How should I distribute my bonus points with my Paladin at level up?

In Diablo 2, how should I use the bonus points at time of level up for my Paladin? I haven't been putting much into mana since I usually use an active skill for defense or attack. I stick with using my weapon instead of using his magic skills as well. My health gets depleted rather quickly so I don't know if it's an armor/resistance thing, or if I'm not putting the right points where they need to go.

Is it possible to dodge the rubble that sticks out in a square position in Assassin's Creed Revelations' cart race?

I've been repeating this part of the game a lot of times, and there are these little square/rectangular shape of rubble sticking out. I've been attempting to dodge it, but I always hit it. Is there a trick to dodging it or something? Because I stopped playing it a little, so I don't get frustrated. I've also tried going next to the enemy to try and avoid it, but I still hit it slightly. Can anyone perhaps help?

What happens after "level six" of Midnight Magic?

In the Atari 2600 game _Midnight Magic_ , the board starts out as pink. if you hit all five of the colored bars at the top, the board changes to a navy blue (the color of the leftmost bar). If you then hit all of the colored bars, the board turns red (the color of the second bar), and so on. I have always wondered what happens if you get to the point where the board is light blue (the color of the rightmost bar) and hit all of the bars. Unfortunately I have never been able to find out first-hand because the game gets harder with each "level". Does anyone know? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ScwMs.png)

Why am I so unfit?

I am playing through the campaign on Arma 3 and have noticed that unlike most of its mods the player get physically exhausted very quickly while sprinting. Even if I am not sprinting, walking uphill causes me to become out of breath relatively quickly. Walking - about 300m   Sprinting - about 100m The problem I have is that I can't seem to catch my breath once I am exhausted this has meant that for the first 6 missions I end up finishing the mission behind my squad because I can't keep up. How do I catch my breath or how do I tell my squad I am falling behind? I have tried just stopping still but I give up after 30 seconds with no effect.

Can mobs drop special items?

I suddenly found an enchanted bow with Power I in my inventory. I did not craft it myself since I don't have an enchantment table.

Now I would like to know where it came from :)   * Can mobs drop special items?    * If so, at what rate does it happen?

Is there any advantage to finishing battles quickly?

At the end of each battle in Fire Emblem: Awakening, it shows you how many turns it took you to finish the battle. Is there any advantage for completing a battle in under a certain number or moves? The fact that it shows this statistic makes me want to go quickly, but my better judgment tells me to take my time and minimize damages through the battle. **Does the number of turns taken to finish a battle matter?**

Why can't I start a great holy war

I am the Fylkir (reformed norse version of the pope) and would very much like to know why I cannot start another holy war. I am playing as Empire of Britannia. I have all the holy sites. The year is over 1100 and both the Muslims and the Catholics have called crusades before. The norse faith has over 100% moral authority. I have even started (and won) 4 great holy wars earlier, last one being about 30 years ago. Why can't I start a holy war now?


Custom names and lores in Minecraft 1.7.2?

I have heard it was possible to change the names and lores of Minecraft items WITHOUT the use of third-party programs like MCEdit.

Initial Starcraft multiplayer training

I'm just starting out with the multiplayer in Starcraft 2. Is it better to play against the AI or suck it up and start playing actual humans to learn how to play? I've watched vids and replays and played a few games against both AI and humans.


What determines the rate at which I recover stamina?

During my trip through the tutorial dungeon, I noticed my stamina seemed to recover more slowly with the more weight my character carried. Since I plan on specializing in two-handed weapons, it's important for me to understand what factors increase or decrease stamina regeneration so I can prevent myself from running out of stamina at crucial moments in epic battles. What other factors affect the rate at which I recover stamina?


Skyrim crashes as soon as I boot up into the menu. How do I fix this?

Whenever I boot up Skyrim, it crashes as soon as it reaches the main menu with no dialog or anything. I thought this was related to my using dual monitors somehow, but I disconnected the other monitor and the game still crashed. I tried running the game in different resolutions, both full-screen and windowed, at various quality settings; no dice. My computer does meet the minimum requirements to play Skyrim. How do I fix this problem?


Are thieves at a disadvantage when it comes to dragon fights?

Fighting a dragon, at least in the videos, looks to be combat focused (as it should be) so armor, weapon skill, and magic skill all aid in killing a dragon. My question is, would a thief-type character (or a non-destruction mage) still be able to kill a dragon?


What are the consequences of stealing?

There is quite a lot of nice stuff just laying around, useful and valuable items that their owners are not actually making good use of. I'm currently saving the world in sub-standard equipment, so I was thinking of just taking what really should have been mine in the first place. What are the consequences of stealing stuff in Skyrim? Are there only consequences if I'm seen stealing anything, or do I get something like "bad karma" even if nobody ever sees me take anything?


What is the most efficient configuration for Fireworks?

Fireworks seem to destroy a 7x7 square around them. They can also trigger other fireworks nearby. What is the most efficient configuration of fireworks to clear the largest area?


What's wrong with my mob trap?

I have made a 50x50 mob trap as specified in this tutorial. Every time I enter the area, mobs spawn inside of the trap, but after they die, no more appear. What am I doing wrong? The floor of the trap is at y = 67 and the collection point is at the side of one of the edges of the trap at y = 54. Is my collection point affecting the mobs spawning? ![Mob Trap](http://i.stack.imgur.com/H3JMR.jpg)


How Does the Darkness Trap Work?

The tooltip on the Darkness trap seems very vague to me. The description I found on the DD Wiki is: > Darkness Trap - When activated, enemies become consumed by darkness, > rendering them unable to attack, and making them lose their current target. I believe that is the actual text from the game, as well. I'm just confused by what this actually means in gameplay. For instance, what happens if enemies are in the Darkness trap, but the Huntress is also there? Will they ignore her and just run straight past her? What happens if the radius of the Darkness Trap overlaps with a crystal? Will enemies attacking the crystal stop and just sit around doing nothing? How about if Squire or Apprentice wall is blocking the enemies from making forward progress. Will they just stand and wait until Darkness ends, then resume attacking? Will they try to find another path (or something else to destroy)? Finally, does the Darkness trap affect ENEMIES, or does it affect the allied structures/units inside the Darkness trap? For example, if I manually set off a Darkness trap I am standing in, will enemies outside the trap still see me and approach or attack me? If they enter the trap, will they 'lose me' and stop attacking? Or, if I am in the trap, will they simply not see me in the first place? These are all specifics about the Darkness trap that I do not entirely understand; I am more reluctant to spend 5 DU on the trap if I don't fully understand how it works.


Is it possible to beat Frank the Zombie in Desktop Dungeon?

In Desktop Dungeon is it possible to beat Frank the Zombie with a Tier 1 Character? With 200+hp and a high attack I don't think I can beat him even with a lv 10 fighter with a save.


How do I fix the Dragon Age 2 armor glitch?

In Dragon Age 2, there is a glitch where if you unequip and re-equip a shield, then it permanently increases your character's armor by 34 each time. Is there a way to fix or avoid this glitch? (The glitch occurs even if you just replace one shield with another shield, so you can't avoid the glitch just by never unequipping a shield if you want to upgrade the shield.) Is there a patch or something to fix this problem? I am using the Xbox 360 version.


What does Upgrading Huntress Invisibility Do?

Most skills in Dungeon Defenders have a logical 'upgradeable' feature. Damage, range, speed, etc are all numbers that can increase (or be decreased) logically. But the Huntress has her Invisibility skill, which has no intuitively scalable difference. It's on/off--visible or invisible. What benefit does upgrading this skill give a Huntress?


How to use corrupted spells?

DOOM 1.9 .wad files compatibility

I have DOOM 1.9 [the shareware version] on a Windows 95 computer and I just beat Knee-Deep In The Dead. I know of a couple places to get other .wad files for DOOM, and I was wondering if all .wad files are compatible with all versions of DOOM, or would I need to get special ones, and if so, where can I get them?


Is there a way to know the email of "parent" in battle net account

I want to test auction house in Diablo III. It says that I am blocked by my "parent" I am 35 years old. There is no way there is a parental control there. Even if there is, I'll just sign in as parent and open it. I keep asking for email to get the parental control but I never get any email. Not to my main Battle.net account. Maybe it's sent to the so called "parent's" email. But what's the parent's email? Who knows. I asked Battle.net support. It's been more than 2 days with no answer.

Are there any advantages to buying a game on the Mac App Store (MAS) instead of Steam?

I was looking at _The Baconing_ on the Mac App Store (MAS) and found that it is also available on Steam. Besides the price difference is there any other reason I would want the MAS version over the Steam version?


Effectively dealing with Gargoyle in Demon's Souls

I'm having problems with the Gargoyles in world 3-2. I'm a Royal class and I tend to rely on magic. When the Gargoyles are far enough away can take them down with several shots from Soul Arrow, but they're getting really close to me and taking me out with their swords. My shield doesn't seem to do anything (Buckler +4). What's a good strategy for dealing with them when they're up close?

3DS street pass: How long do we have to be in range?

How long do 2 3DSs have to be "in range" to download each other's information? I was wondering this as I was driving in a car; will driving through the range of a 3DS for about 10 seconds be enough to download Street Pass information? What about a bike being in range for 20?


Is it possible to cancel a quest?

In The Secret World, is it possible to cancel a quest? Without completing each quest that you pick up the only way that I have found is to select another quest that will 'replace' the quest you're currently on. Without replacing the quest you can move onto the next area but there will consistently be a quest mark on the Agartha entrance until such a time you replace the quest. So, is it possible to cancel a quest in The Secret World or are the only options to complete/replace the quest?

How do I shoot when controlling the turret of a UAV?

I'm in a point in the Single-Player Campaign mission where I need to control a UAV and take out a target. I have successfully taken control of the UAV turrets, but when I press Mouse 1 (Fire), a red star appears on my screen, and clicking Mouse 1 again removes the star. Can someone give me a detailed explanation on how to use the UAV in ArmA 3? Most importantly, how can I fire my UAV turret at an enemy? (Please explain this as you would a child, as this is the first time I have ever played an ArmA game.)


I accidently made the Underworld aggro. Will they ever calm down?

In the Underworld I told Carol that I killed Gob, and the entire town went aggro on me. I left without killing anyone. Will they always attack me, or will they ever calm down? I haven't finished all the quests in that area, and it's a useful place to stop for trade and repairs. Moira's quest is not currently marked as failed, so I think I still have a chance.


How can I maximize XP gain in Spice Bandits?

I am level 58 right now, and I'm trying to collect stars in all of the chapters. But the sudden death is very hard and I only get low XP. For example, for the chapter Desert Freighter, the most I've ever gotten is 34 XP. No matter the strategy I use, I only get 31-34 XP. But I never get a star, even at 34 XP. What is the best way to gain XP? Should I avoid upgrading my towers, use only one tower or create a tower near my base?


How do I skip tutorials?

In GTA San Andreas for iOS, you can skip some cutscenes by pressing the arrow at the top right of the screen. But when the game is explaining something to you, it takes a long time to move on. Is there any way to skip these, because there isn't a arrow on the top right to help me.

In a ZvZ match, how do I deal with early mass zerglings?

Just as it says on the can. **How do I defend early mass zerglings in ZvZ?** Early being around the time my natural is finished to the time it's about half-saturated. I'm getting a baneling nest as soon as I can afford it, and make zerglings as soon as I see them coming. I block the ramp with queens, but I still can't ever hold it. **Here's a replay where a bunch of zerglings stream into my base at the 5:40 mark.** My overlord sees this coming, so I try to squeeze out a spine, block my ramp with my queen, and take an extra gas so I can support more banelings. I start morphing some banelings as soon as my baneling nest is done, but there are just so many zerglings that I can't hold off his reinforcements. **In this game I attempt to go spire.** This game, I made as many preemptive banelings as I could afford. I figured he would be low on the tech tree, so mutalisks would be able to deal with his tier one aggression. But he was droning behind it, and eventually overran me with ling/bane. **Here's a replay where I make it to lair.** He floods my natural with lings at 8:00 but I manage to hold onto my main. However, he was droning behind it, with roaches on the way. His two bases vs my one base was a situation I couldn't recover from. I was floating a lot of minerals and idle larvae in this game though. Maybe that was my downfall? **I also have a fourth one.** Same deal. He floods my base with lings, I lose. I saw he had no expansion by the time I had mine up, so I prepared some defensive lings. However, when I saw him expand later, and my overlords saw nothing suspicious, I thought he had made a hidden expansion somewhere on the map. I still made as many banelings as I could afford right when my baneling nest completed, but his stream of units still destroyed me. I'm in gold league, by the way. Thanks for your replies! (For future readers: this was in patch 2.0.5 in Wings of Liberty)

Can I reset my TF2 statistics?

My "friend" (AKA me) wanted to have some fun, so he went onto an achievement idle server and murdered everyone several times. As a result of that, my "friend"'s statistics now show that he has earned 596 points as Medic (in one round too), which is impossible compared to the time that that friend has been playing Team Fortress 2. How can that person reset his statistics so that they do not frustrate him?


Can I charge for public transportation?

My city predictably is having money shortages. I am barely breaking even and have already taken three bonds. Suddenly I remember that I have a very nice public transportation (shuttle bus) system that, maybe, I can monetize.

Running Costume Quest in Windowed Mode

I play a lot of "casual games" (think Diner Dash), and they all feature a way in their in-game options to run the game in windowed mode. I bought Costume Quest yesterday for PC from Steam, and wanted to run it in windowed mode, however, unlike other games I play, I cannot find a way to tell the game to run in windowed mode. Is there just a setting I am missing? Or is it something Steam doesn't allow?


How to reset squad points?

I have Tali and Garrus with me. I am playing on PC and the good button says reset talent points under Squad screen. But clicking on it does nothing. No way to reset their points. Is there any way to reset their (Squad) points?


Like many RPGs, Fallout: New Vegas has day/night cycles. Right now, I'm trying to infiltrate the REPCONN labs to find out why there are so many ghouls there, while still making it back to Novac in time to find out who's killing Bhramin. I need to be in the Bhramin pen at midnight in order to catch the perp and it takes me about four minutes of real time to walk from REPCONN to Novac. I need to know when to leave to make my appointment. **What is the game-time to real-time ratio in Fallout: New Vegas?**


How do I customize runes per champ or for general purpose?

There has been something that has bothered me since i learned about runes. Let's say I buy runes that were recommended in a guide for Annie or Ahri. What if I choose to play say Teemo or another champion? I mean I'd be using runes intended for a mage, but I'd be playing a non-mage. **So how do I customize runes per champ or for general purpose?** Also, I'm aware of this question, but I don't think it answers my question completely.


How do I return to my current dungeon level after activating a second town portal?

I had reached a dungeon level around 10-15 floors down, when I returned to Torchlight (the town) via a Town Portal scroll and got a quest from the Trill- bot to kill a monster on level 3. Easy! I ran down to level 3, one-shotted the baddie and instead of clicking an Identify scroll I clicked a Town Portal scroll. I was hoping it wouldn't overwrite my previous portal if I didn't use it, so I ran back to my original portal but it brought me back to level 3! So have I really lost all my progress? Can I not easily return to the farthest level I've reached?

How does armor work in Shogun 2: Total War?

I've played Shogun 2 for a while now, and something I still don't understand is armor. The unit with the most notable armor is the Naginata Samurai with 9. Compare that to a Yari Ashigaru that has 2 armor, and it seems like there's a huge difference. I can see the number value of unit armor, but I don't understand is how that factors into combat. Does armor reduce the damage done by arrows? Does armor just give an increased dodge chance? I think these might be questions of how combat is calculated by the game engine and not just of armor, but armor is my real concern. I can immediately see the effects of increased attack or morale, but not as much by increased armor. **How does armor affect the survivability of a unit?**


Are Portals of Power cross-platform compatible?

Can I use a portal from one platform on another platform? Is there a difference between the 1st/2nd generation portals (Spyro's Adventure/Giants) and the 3rd generation one?


What am I doing wrong while battling a Sith NPC as a Trooper Vanguard?

Whenever I have to fight a Sith (Elites) even 2 levels lower than me (at 4 level lower, I can defeat them with few HP to spare), I tend to die. I play a 32 Trooper Vanguard and have level appropriate armor, weaponry (minus a couple of mods/enhancements that I need to level) and all class/vanguard abilities trained. I have Elara as my companion set to her aggressive healing setting. _Very occasionally, I'll have problems with elites having large damage rapid fire weapons, but slightly different tactics usually leads to my success. This does not happen with attacking Sith Elites_ **EDIT** The one I was specifically referring to this time is the Sith Apprentices (Level 28) on Alderaan. These are one at a time. ## My stats ![Dexa Stats](http://i.stack.imgur.com/h2NjR.png) ## Skill tree ![Dexa Skills](http://i.stack.imgur.com/aW97L.png) Is this a simple need for better armor/shield/enhancements with more Damage Reduction, Defense Chance, Shield Chance and Shield Absorption? I've been concentrating on Aim, but perhaps I should adjust my priorities.


X-box 360 Slim, bad picture quality

Is there any way to improve the picture quality while LCD monitor is used as display. I am using DELL LCD 19" widescreen monitor. I am using xbox composite cable to hook up monitor and xbox. **Updated Question** Though the solution was to use DVI-HDMI converter, the problem will be still there with audio.

Vampire stage 4 and I can't feed myself

I've become a vampire and I've started the quest to cure myself. As I'm stage 4, I can't talk to Falion, so I've tried to drink some blood around. I've done 3-4 humans and it seems not to be enough.

Finding the current installation of minecraft

Am trying to figure out where to look for finding out the current version of minecraft installed my pc. I can see the current version, if I open up the Minecraft.exe launcher. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xVtxK.png) I tried to search in Windows Registry to see if there is any entry regarding the current version. But didn't found any when I searched for the term `minecraft`. And I can see that, this folder `C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\\.minecraft\versions` contains the sub- folder `1.7.4` which is the current version! So, is that the only place we can check to find out the current version? I am trying to fetch the version via code (creating VB.Net app). I can do a scan for the sub-folders in the `..\\.minecraft\versions` folder and could find out the version number. But what if that `versions` folder contains another folder say `1.8.2` with a JAR and JSON file? My idea of fetching the current version would fail then! Because the `versions` folder contains two folders `1.7.4` (which is the current version) and the `1.8.2` (which is a duplicate of the contents of the folder 1.7.4, I created for testing). In my code, it would find out the current version as `1.8.2`, which would be wrong! Because when the MC launcher is opened, it still shows the `1.7.4` as the current version! So, what would be the effective way/place to look for finding the currently installed version? Any hints would be highly appreciated. Thank you

Does Yamato Cannon 1-hit kill an Immortal?

Yamato Cannon deals 300 damage and Immortals have 100 shields and 200 hit points, but they also have a hardened shield ability that reduces incoming damage greater than 10 to 10. However, I am not sure if this applies to Yamato Cannon or if Yamato Cannon does reduced damage because of armor/shields.


Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo restrictions

I know that the demo for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has a 45 minute time limit, but how does it enforce that limit? Is it 45 minutes of play time from starting up the game or creating a character, then thats it? Or is it 45 minutes playing a character, then if you want to play some more, you need to start again with a new character, and can do so as many times as you like? Also, does anyone know if they will let you use the save games from the demo in the full version? (assuming you can actually save the game, I'm still downloading it)

I've just gone back to Frontier: Elite II using DOSBox and it reminded me of a question that I had when I first played the game: what is the point of the Interplanetary Shuttle? You can buy it, but you can't replace the drive or anything. And as far as I can tell you can't own more than one ship. So... what's the point?


Why doesn't Vlad's Tides of Blood proc spell vamp?

While playing Vlad today, I noticed "Tides of Blood" doesn't proc spell vamp. The ability does magic damage; why doesn't it absorb health? Edit: I was playing a bot game with around 600 AP, a Spirit Visage, and a Will of the Ancients. I used Tides of Blood while surrounded by 10+ minions and noticed no spell vamp. Magic dmg should have been ~450 to each minion, so 450 * (.25*.33) = ~37, not counting spirit visage. It's possible I just didn't do enough damage to trigger the floating text, but I started watching my health bar to see. It's difficult to tell since Tides of Blood damages Vlad when cast, but I still should have been gaining 300+ health. **UPDATE**   It was late when I posted this, and I must have made a mistake. I was able to confirm last night that Tides of Blood does proc spell vamp. Side note, I often noticed only 1 green number pop when I got high enough. It seems they've combined the floating text into one number, making it easier to see how much health he gets back!

Is Cie'th Stone Mission 1 the first thing you're supposed to do on Gran Pulse?

I just got to Pulse, only to find myself very much outclassed by all the enemies around. This excellent question has assuaged most of my fears of having missed something important. I accepted the first Cie'th Stone mission, thinking that that was the only thing for me to do. I've made it to the cave, and gotten to the first save point. But before the save point, there was an alternate route that led to a boss called Juggernaut. Unlike the rest of the enemies in the cave, I had absolutely no hope of defeating it. It has over a million HP and I can hardly get an attack in without being annihilated. Am I expected to be able to beat this thing at this point in my playthrough? I'm trying not to look at walkthroughs, but I peeked at one and it did not even mention the difficulty of this battle at this point in the game. Is this an optional megaboss? I'm not sure whether I can take these missions again after I clear them once; can I come back for it and the Treasure Sphere later? Or was there something for me to do by following the arrow before I accepted that mission? Should I go back and try to forfeit the mission for now?

So, is there a Linux version of every version of CoD? Where can I get them?


How does Close Enough interact with explosive weapons?

I know that Gaige can effectively use elemental weapons with Close Enough - the skill that causes up to 50% of your missed shots to ricochet towards the target for reduced damage. However, I do not know what to think of rounds that explode on impact. I noticed that generally elemental weapons leave a small elemental mark on the point of impact and then deal elemental damage normally. What about rockets from RPGs and Torgue weapons? Their projectiles explode on impact and it's really hard to tell (with my limited playtime) if Close Enough has any influence on them. Would a Torgue projectile explode on impact and then fly towards the enemy to do regular damage? Or would it explode twice? Or maybe explosions prevents ricocheting?


Are there any early Demon Hunter builds that are particularly poor for getting started?

In Diablo 2 there were a number of ways to make life much more difficult on yourself if you made the wrong choices on the skill tree. The skill tree is gone and it seems that changing between "builds" will be very easy to accomplish. Are there any choices that can be made early on that will make the game particularly difficult? Conversely are there any builds that seem to be particularly strong for getting up to the Skeleton King? For example if using a ranged demon hunter does the lack of a shield strongly handicap you? Are there creatures that could close too quickly to avoid taking a lot of damage? If playing a melee demon hunter, does the available skill options work against you even though you have higher defence?


Game crashes when opening crates

Sometimes, when I open my crates, my game crashes. I've read, that the reason for that is that there is a level/character in it, and my game doesn't have enough active memory to open it. But: all my levels are closed, I've tried to kick all my VIPs out but it changed nothing, all my other apps are closed, restarting my phone didn't help. Now about the char/level thing. My first rare cargo was Wookie arms, a level. I got it while already experiencing the problem. So I'd have said that the game crashes randomly, if I didn't spend a day farming Kashyyyk, getting all the chars, never finding the Shack and only crashing all the time. Help?


Does your level serve any purpose outside of PvE?

In Guild Wars 2 you can play PvE, WvW, and PvP. When you play WvW and PvP you are at level 80, not your actual level. So is your level meaningless outside of PvE, or is there some reason for me to level my character even if I only intend to play in PvP and WvW?


Minecraft 1.2.5 mods stop working!

I really need help. I used the "1.2.5 cheat pack 1.5 #2 singleplayer" mod by putting all files in minecraft.jar + deleting the META- INF and it worked great. Next time I opened the game the mod wasn't there. I reinstalled the mod and still didn't work. So I reinstalled minecraft and the mod and it worked again. But when I played it for the 2nd time the mod stopped working again. Any ideas??? Is something in the minecraft.jar being overwritten? Or what could the problem be?


How do Medics gain points on Team Fortress 2?

I'd like to play as a Medic on Team Fortress 2, but I could not find anywhere on the official wiki how they can earn points. I know that if you use the secondary weapon and kill someone with it (of course) you gain points, but if you are using the primary weapon that only heal and UberCharge friends how do I gain points? Are there Medic-specific ways to earn points? Thanks in advance.
