Jewel vendors in Mists of Pandaria?

I know that back in Burning Crusade, you could purchase some jewels from NPC's (in Honor Hold, for example) - of course, those were entry-level jewelry, because JC's would do the hard work. That was also true in Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm. But I can't find anything like that in Mists of Pandaria. Is there any Vendor (wether be with Gold, Honor, or Valor points) that sells gems for equipment? If so, where?


Severe system lag spike when running Minecraft server with more than 1 user?

I am trying to figure out what the problem could be with my game server. Currently it only run a Minecraft server but may run more later. The problem I am experencing is severe system lag spikes when there is more than 1 user connected to the at once. The lag spike do not just affect the minecraft instance they affect the WHOLE system, SSH becomes unresponsive and one time the machine went completely offline and I had to drop in with the management console to regain control. The server is running the Feed the Beast Direwolf20 modpack server. The Specs!   * Virtual Machine running on VMware vSphere 5.1   * 1 vCPU with 2 Cores   * Allocated 4GB of vRAM (out of 16GB available to the system)   * 20 GB VMDK (about 20% used)   * 1 Network Adapter (VMXNET3 I think)   * Running Ubuntu 12.10 (all latest updates)   * VMware Tools are current    * Java Runtime 1.7.0 u13 (current as of this post) When I run top on the server it displays some really strange stats for the Java process which when minecraft is running sits at the top of the list which makes sense. For example the server says Java is using 120% of the CPU and close to all of the ram assigned to Java at the start of Minecraft. Almost as soon as one user disconnects from the server the CPU drops to around 9.8% usage for the Java process. It just seems very odd. The command I using to run the server is `java -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -jar FTBServer.jar` There is only 1 other VM running on this server right now and its just BIND server for local network traffic. Is there anything I could be missing? Something is very wrong but I am sure if its Java, the Ubuntu VM or VMware vSphere. If anyone could be give me a hand that would be awesome. I had originally asked on SeverFault and was recommended to ask here instead.


Is it possible to cc npcs by emptying their energy pool?

From DoA, I know that using Energy Surge on the same enemy too many times can result in damage loss because there's no more energy in their pool to burn. Aside from that, however, I haven't noticed much, if any, ability usage decrease in my general PvE as a result of lengthy fighting attrition. Does energy pressure have any effect on enemy skill use, and can it be used to shut down key npcs, for example healers?


How to select idle worker without the screen jumping to the worker?

Every time I select "idle worker", the screen jumps to the worker. This completely throws me off during, say, an attack. Is there a way I can select my workers and tell them to harvest minerals without looking at them? Shift- click, I believe, selects them all, but there is still the unnecessary jump.


Is there a solution to Xcom - Enemy Unknown save game bug?

How to complete the "Dodgeball" goal?

I've completed all of the career events and all of the goals in Asphalt 7 except for "Dodgeball". The goal is: > DODGEBALL > > Complete 20 Near Misses in a single event. A "near miss", of course, is when you travel within a small distance of an oncoming car. The problem is that in many of the events there aren't even 20 oncoming cars and there is no way to keep track of how many near misses you've already done. Has anyone successfully completed this goal and can describe a strategy? Ie, which event/map/car level to use? Fast or slow?

Traveling to waypoints without money

Traveling to waypoints in Guild Wars 2 costs money. I've found out that when you don't have money left in your inventory, the money gets taken from your bank. I was wondering if it would be possible to travel without having money at all? So if you have 0 in your inventory and 0 in the storage, can you still travel?


Do skills or items that increase fire rate also affect melee attack speed? (e.g. Krieg the Psycho's Buzz Axe Rampage)

I noticed that Krieg the Psycho has a skill that increases Fire Rate (Embrace the Pain), on the Mania skill tree (which focuses on improving the Buzz Axe Rampage action skill). Embrace the Pain increases Fire Rate when the shields are down. I am wondering if the Buzz Axe Rampage attack speed (both melee and _when throwing the axe)_ is also increased by the Embrace the Pain skill and other skills that increase Fire Rate. What about the regular melee attack (`V`, by default on the PC) by all the playable characters (including Krieg, when non-Buzz Axe Rampaging)? And what about items (e.g. class mods or relics) that increase Fire Rate? Will they also affect normal melee attack speed or the Buzz Axe Rampage skill attack speed (both melee and _when the axe is thrown_ )? ![Embrace the Pain - increases Fire Rate](http://i.stack.imgur.com/FxJI9.jpg)


How can I make the "High Five!" taunt togglable?

Recently I got the "High Five!" taunt and according to the wiki description you have to hold down the "action" key and then wait for another player to come over to you and press their taunt key. "When the player holds down the action button, their character will enter one of two class-specific poses with the right hand held up high." The issue I have is that you must hold down the "action" key and for wait someone. I'd like to have it so that when I press the "action" key the game we'll wait until someone initiates the high five. Long story short: I'd like it so that I don't have to hold down the button and wait. I want the taunt to be togglable.


Does Dear Esther end?

I don't mean philosophically or anything like that. I mean literally. I have reached the end of the game, the game faded to black and is now... sitting there. Do I have to manually return to the Main Menu from here, or will something eventually happen (i.e. another scene, end credits, etc.)?


How can I tell what version of a game is installed using Steam?

On Scribblenauts Remix level 4-3, how do I get the psychologist/psychiatrist to enter the cell?

On level 4-3 of _Scribblenauts Remix_ , you need to get all the cells open by causing the specialists to enter them. Three are easy, but the fourth cell, which has a Psychiatrist outside, is just baffling me. There's actually an in-game hint that says "The Pyschiatrist will calm a panicked prisoner" but no matter what potions I apply to my prisoner (like "insane" or "depressed" or "panicky") the dude ignores him. Trying to literally make a "panicked potion" doesn't work, giving me a plain potion. How in the word do I get this psychiatrist's attention?! P.S. Giving the prisoner a "suicidal potion" will just kill him, heh. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4qV2m.png)


How do I find a specific place in a city?

I am having troubles finding some specific places in cities. I know, and that is a good example, that I should look for a general store to sell things but I am not able to find it when I am at the city. I think my biggest problem is how to understand and use the bar (or map, i do not know how its called) that is on top of screen (which shows coordinates). That bar shows some icons that I cant understand. I already looked for those tips on the internet and also a official beginners guide but i could not found anything. So, how to find specific places in cities and what those icons means?

Problem with getting on with the Thieves Guild restoring

So, I have done the special jobs in Solitude, Winterhold and Windhelm, but after the Windhelm one I have done 47 side-quests, yet no other special job will show up. I have 3/4 merchants, and I'd like the fourth one, so can anyone tell me why the last special job won't show up? Not sure if this is related, but I have also delivered the Skeleton key, and stolen Frost from Maven Black-Briar. Anyone know how i can get on with it?


Can a StarCraft II digital download be put on multiple computers?

I want to buy StarCraft II on the Blizzard website, but I want it installed on two different computers (both Macs). I'm wondering if I can install it on two different computers through Battle.net, or am I better off just buying a hard copy of the game and doing it that way?


Diablo III, Why people always do the same in Adventure mode?

I've played around 70 times on **Adventure** mode (in **Normal** difficulty, and played other modes) and people always do the same, no matter the difficulty mode (unless **Tormento** ), they just does the bountys of **Tristam** and after that all the people leaves from game (maybe to join again other party to repeat the same procedure), I've seen people with +300 paragon levels doing this all the time, seems not reasonable to me 'cause they could be playing on **Tormento** mode to drop more and gain more exp, exist a reasonable reason to determine this behavior of almost all the players? Of course sometimes (very rare sometimes) a group can do other bounties of other maps but from my experience is very strange to see it. I don't judge other players, I just would like to know whether maybe I'm missing something important about why people does this... is only to be the easiest mode to gain the reward from **Tyriel** NPC or what? really is distasteful for me 'cause I never can do other bounties, all people leaves always.


Does unlocking bitizens via the album make them available for play in the game?

I've waited patiently for a few months for the Trandoshan species (my favorite!) and they haven't come, so I decided to use some bux, and unlock them and the Tusken Raider. A week or so later, they still have yet to show up (even as elevator passengers)! So, I decided to run another test and unlock Zabrak, same problem. I've read a theory that unlocks are the same for all players, and I today unlocked Sullustan, so my big question is; does unlocking in the album enable the species to show up and they still do not, or does it simply add their description and they will show up in the allotted amount of time? Has anyone even had Trandoshan or Zabrak "randomly" unlock and become available as elevator passengers and/or residents? Or do we all just have to wait until they push the release button for us? My fear is that spending the bux in the album doesn't actually unlock them and locks them out from ever showing up, I have even contemplated restarting my tower out of fear that I had glitched things for myself, but I decided to post here first :) Thanks for your help!


Moving Stopped Minecarts with Powered Rails

If a minecart is at rest on a deactivated powered rail, simply powering the rail will not make it move. The minecart must be kickstarted somehow, e.g. by a player pushing it in the desired direction. I'd like to make a traditional train station, where the carts stop briefly at a platform before speeding away. However, due to this limitation, the process can not be fully automated. What are some techniques to start minecarts from a full stop without any direct influence by the player? If possible, I'd like to avoid sloped rails because they look bad next to a platform.


Good tactics for Anomaly Warzone Earth?

After a week of trying, I still can barely win 3 last missions at Casual difficulty. I tried every tactics I could think about, but I can't win these 3 mission at Normal and Hardcore (I once win a mission in Normal, by lucky, but now I can't do it again). Can you please give me some advice? Thank you.


Difference in item drop between old and new characters

I played through Reaper of Souls with the new crusader character and was impressed by the yellow items that dropped. I regularly found fittings rare items. I then went on to play Act V with my wizard, which I had started in Diablo 3 prior to the extension and I found that the items that dropped were not as interesting. It took quite some time till I was able to replace my armor with new items - they just weren't that good. So my question: Is there a difference if you play with an "old" character or a new one? Is it worth it to start a new wizard and play through the game again? Thanks


Where is the world saved on a Minecraft server, and how do I back it up?

I've found some related answers: I think I get maps and worlds, and I now know where single-player saves are located. I'm not sure I completely understand this answer about copying a multiplayer map to single-player, but in any case, I'm only concerned about multiplayer survival mode: Suppose I'm running a Minecraft server on Windows for myself and friends. Which files should I save to "back up" the state of the world at a particular point? For example, I might want to do this just when I need to shut off the server, to be sure not to lose anything; to save one world and go back to it later, while starting a new one for now; or to restore the world from an earlier state, when we hadn't flooded the house with lava yet.


How to play Diablo III in a Virtual Machine?

I saw a lot of people asking the same question in other forums (yes, i've googled it a little bit), and some people answered that of course is possible to play it in a Virtual Machine but only using **VMWare** , some other people said that isn't possible even in **VMWare** , and the people who said that it's possible and also who said they have virtualized **Diablo III** doesn't gave proofs. I know that **VirtualBox** application does not offer GPU support, the Video Card is completelly virtualized and only has 256 MB, so is not possible to run/play **Diablo III** (i've tried it), now I'm trying to play in **VMWare Workstation** 'cause it have physical access to the host graphics and GPU acceleration and I've read that **Diablo III** can be played with **VMWare** , well, I've installed **VMWare guest tools pack** , and I've installed and updated **Diablo III** from the **Battle.Net** app, but when I try to run the game it seems to load but it only shows a black screen after the loading screen (but I can hear the music foreground game and I can see the **Diablo III** custom cursor on the black screen) My host OS is Windows 8.1 x64, guest OS is **Windows 7 x86** , with **4 GB** of virtual memory, I have an **nVidia GTX 650** video card, and I've tried to run **Diablo III Reaper of souls**. I've installed the last **DirectX** and the **.NET Framework 4.5** on the guest _OS_ , I've also tried to specify different compatibility checks on the game executable, but nothing changed, I still can't see/play the game. So... if someone is really able to play **Diablo III** on a _VirtualMachine_ please illustrate me with the steps to reproduce it with all the details such as the _OS_ , the _OS_ arquitecture, the given virtual memory, libraries/software installed, **diablo3** or **diablo3-Reaper of souls** etc... ...everything. Thankyou for read.


Does it matter what order I place my workers when brewing?

Some works have abilities like 25% chance of 25% faster brew time. Does it matter if I place this worker first in the task order (i.e. cleaning), or last (bottling)? Will it reduce the overall brew time or is it just for their task that they have a chance in reducing?


Is it possible to get a shiny Honedge without breeding?

I have already looked at many articles on the subject but all of them just say it's possible to find on route 6, or you can breed 'till the cows come home trying to get a shiny. I'm not real big on breeding and was wondering, is there a way to get a shiny honedge that does not involve breeding or the pokemon radar (because it does not work on rout 6 due to the tall grass)?

Can I connect a PAL Xbox 360 to a PC TFT LCD monitor?

Can all flat panel TFT LCD monitors decode both PAL and NTSC? I have a PAL Xbox 360 and I am now living in America. When I connect it to my TV, it shows only in black and white. So, I would like to try to connect it to a PC monitor. But, before I splash out the cash to buy the cable to connect my Xbox 360 to my monitor, I would like to know if it works? And, regional issues I should be worried about?


Can Garlands spoil?

The other day I was playing the game and noticed that at a certain point my garland stopped giving me sanity gain and the icon had a red border. Now I may have been attacked with it on, I'm not sure, but can the garland be damaged to the point of uselessness in battle? Can it spoil like other plants / food?


Why doesn't population death yield DNA points?

Some DNA points are automatic, in that you don't have to click any bubbles to get them. Normally I see two big streams of these points.   1. On the way up, as the plague spreads.   2. On the way back down, as the population dies off. Without too much trouble, I unlocked all of the plague types on Normal difficulty. Now I've gone back to Bacteria on Normal to try for a higher score. But for some reason I don't get that second stream of DNA points after the entire population is infected and I switch my plague into a lethal mode. Even after a couple of billion people have tragically succumbed to my creation, there are no automatic DNA points... just 2 or 3 orange bubbles to pop. I've seen this on 5-6 games now. I tried playing on Casual again and got the expected second stream of points. What's gone wrong? Can this behavior result from genetic code choices or symptom combos? Or does Normal difficulty just get harder once you've unlocked all the plague types? **UPDATE** After seeing this problem in at least half a dozen games, it's stopped happening. Despite using the same basic strategy, now there is a second stream of automatic DNA points. In all cases, my strategy creates a high Severity level and moderate Lethality level. I'll leave this question active for a while. Hopefully someone can explain why you sometimes get a pile of automatic DNA points in the "death phase", and sometimes literally zero automatic points, despite having decent Severity and Lethality.

What is the Guild Wars 2 map overflow, and how does it work?

Last night a friend and I wanted to play the game together. We had chosen the same server and were both standing in the same location but we could not find each other. We did however get a message saying: "You have been moved to the Wayfarer Foothill overflow. You are queued to enter the map when you are ready." How does this overflow work? I am confused why I can't find my friend on the map.

Can you please post a 10-step (or more if you like) guide to help a beginner?


How long do powerups last?

During a recent game of Ricochet, I noticed that I had successfully collected all the powerups simultaneously. While collecting them, I am certain that I shot several discs at my enemies. I had always assumed the powerups went away after a certain number of shots or after a certain time frame. My best guess is that picking up another powerup resets the shot countdown, but I don't know if that's right either. ![All the powerups](http://i.stack.imgur.com/DVNWF.jpg)


My village appears to be a ghost town. How do I get my people back?

So I have been building up a village, hoping that the 3-4 block high wall would protect it from nasty predators, but apparently I was wrong. I find it kind of weird that the smaller, wall-less village managed to maintain a population for so long, but my expanded and walled village is now apparently a ghost town. Does anyone know why this may be? (If so I'm opening another thread for this question, as I think this is an entirely different line of questioning involving how hostile mobs spawn). I'm wondering if there is some way I can repopulate the village, hopefully without having to transplant villagers (as villages appear to be extremely rare). Is there anyway of doing this? Building more houses doesn't appear to work.

Color problem with Cossacks: Back to War on Win7/Win 8 64bit

I have a huge problem with Cossacks: Back to War on: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 - color problems...I can't fix them by using some ddraw fixes or killing explorer.exe. I tried so much to fix it, but without success. Windows 8 x64 - When I get in game, the cursor freezes, but not the game because the mouse is working. I can hear sound when I scroll it over menu buttons, and I can use them because it shows me that my cursor is frozen in the middle of the screen. I had success with DirectDraw hack (ddhack10.zip - you can google it), but with a little problem. Which settings should I use? When I use original halfnhalf settings, it cuts my screen's bottom. By the way, this hack fixed mouse and color problem on both Windows, but it cut off the screen's bottom on both too. EDIT : Forgot to say, that all my fixes works on Win7 Ultimate x32, but not on these x64 systems.

Nevermore strategies in DotA

I completely suck at DotA (though I am somewhat familiar with Nevermore); I can never kill any enemy heroes even on easy. What strategies can I use to defeat enemy heroes? I do the basics: get last hit to get cash and that's pretty much all I know. I buy the trent boots which are set to agility. The first two things I buy are a courier and the reg with +5 hp regen. I then get that sword with critical hits and upgrade it after getting demon's edge. I still suck and can't kill enemy heroes even though I have +130 damage (or more). What can I do?

How does one complete "over-qualified employee" missions in Uplink?

I've always been interested in Uplink, so I bought it earlier this week. But now I'm stuck on one of the missions that has been appearing since I reached the "Confident" rank: it's asking me to prove that an employee is over- qualified by changing his academic record. Specifically: "We feel that this employee scored slightly too highly at his degree. Give him a 3rd class replacement." I break into the academic database, look up the employee, and find that he has three classes, so I change the grade letter on the third class from a D to an F, commit, and disconnect. But when I reply to the mission request asking for money, they tell me that I haven't changed anything yet. Is there something I'm misunderstanding here? How does one fulfill the goal of this mission?

What should I do to get the Outmatched: 2 Insane AI achievement?

What should I do to get the **Outmatched: 2 Insane AI** achievement? I've watched like dozen of online tutorials, where is shown how to do that. The only problem is that those `cannon`/`spine` rushes worked only in older versions. With the newest version ( **1.1.2.16755** ) nothing works, since insane AI uses _map-hack_ (they don't scout at all) and attack your hidden `pylon` (which they haven't seen/scouted) right when you start warping it in. And I don't think it is possible to beat 2 insane AI with regular (non-rush) gameplay, as they will soon attack with such a giant army that nothing can stop it.


What's a good strategy for dealing with traffic?

I've placed some medium and high-density roads between the ultra-pollution industrial side of the city and the medium density residential/commercial side of the city. Now my city is at a size where all those roads are filled with traffic every day. And unfortunately I also built some low density R/C zones on these east-west connectors. How should I handle this? Add a new larger connector between them? Bulldoze the existing road and make it bigger (removing the existing infrastructure along it)? Busses? I have lots of space available still.


Should I be worried about overwriting buildings?

When I place a new road or a building in a section I had previously zoned for RCI space, sometimes the new structure overlaps an existing RCI building. Simcity seems pretty relaxed about this, only highlighting the structure in yellow as I place the new structure, but not warning me excessively. When I finalize the placement of this new road or building, the RCI buildings that are highlighted are destroyed. This usually fixes itself, a new RCI building is built in the reduced space now available. But should I avoid this? Does it cause any, to borrow a DF term, unhappy thoughts in my Sims?


Streaming Team Fortress 2

I need some help in streaming Team Fortress 2. I installed Open Broadcaster and selected 'Game Capture' and the TF2 process, but when I preview the stream all I get is a black screen. The Game Capture works for Minecraft and other games but not for TF2. Here is a screenshot: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Cdwlbl.jpg)

All my dwarves are bleeding to death. What can I do?

After a relatively short battle with a forgotten beast, in which none of my militia were injured, everyone in my fortress has started dropping dead. Even dwarves that were not involved in the battle have started spontaneously bleeding to death. ![The Dwarves are all bleeding to death!](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rIKJO.png) The forgotten beast was described as having "noxious secretions", which I'm assuming is the cause of my current problems. Is there anything that I can do to save my dwarves?


How can I check my statistics in Dota 2

How can I get statistics in Dota 2 such as hit/loss ratio, what skill level do I have (not the Battle Points) and such figures. One very interesting metric would be the win/loss ratio in function of what items you bought for each hero. Is there an independent website providing these kind of statistics ?


You are getting tired, you should find a parking place to rest

When doing long trips, you will eventually start getting 'tired' in game. This is shown to you by a message that takes up your GPS space saying "You are getting tired. You shold find a parking place to rest". I have noticed that the screen will occasionally start blacking out but I have always rested before it got too bad. Once this message starts showing, how long can you keep driving until you fall asleep? Do you actually fall asleep at all?


Map glitched, can't scroll/zoom in Far Cry 3

I'm having a problem in FC3 where when I open the map it suddenly gets stuck like it doesn't know where the center of it is, and it only allows me to scroll on the left side of the map but not towards it. Currently uploading a video of this glitch in action, it will be at: I'm currently using v1.04 of the game, but this has been happening to me since v1.02 Any help would be appreciated, thanks!


Why do I keep getting caught speeding?

I am playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 and driving around doing the Quick Jobs because I've only just started and don't have enough money to purchase my own truck. As it is a simulator there are speed limits on all of the roads and speed cameras placed. Many times I have been in a road marked as national speed limit zone indicated by a white circle with a black line through it but I've been given a speeding ticket for doing 55mph edit: as an additional example, I just got a speeding ticket on the motorway for doing 55mph as well! What am I doing wrong?


Where are all the recruitment agents?

What's the difference between downloadable games on XBLA and PSN?

I've recently found myself in possession of both an Xbox 360 and PS3, and in addition to having to having to choose between the platforms for normal console releases (How do I choose between the console and PC versions of a game?, Does a website exist that compares the versions of the same game on different platforms?), I recently found myself having to decide whether to buy a game on PSN or XBLA (neither of which I've really used previously). So what are the main differences between playing downloadable games from PSN and XBLA? NOTE I'm not asking about:   * Differences between specific games, unless it's a common trend like PS3 retail games consistently having better textures.   * Differences between game availability—I'm aware most games tend to only be released on one XBLA or PSN and that PSN generally has fewer such games, but this question is strictly about the games that do get released on both.


Boone and I have been murdering our way through the Mojave Wasteland for the last ingame month or so, and we're very happy together. However, I've just reached Trading Post 188 and encountered Veronica, who claims to wish to join my quest.

Low sound problems

I've been looking 30-60min different links from Google to fix my problem, and still not succeeded.   1. I am using Windows XP (with Service Pack III)   2. I am using VIA Unknown @ nVIDIA MCP61 - High Definition Audio Controller.   3. The speakers I am using have a text on them: "Platinum UBL Series" (did a quick check in Google and didn't found anything useful) One link talked about 5.1. I tried to set it on my speakers, but it jumps off it, so I believe either my speakers or my sound card cannot use that option. One link talked about setting the [AudioMenu] fAudioMasterVolume in Skyrim_Default. What number I wanna put on it, the sound is always as low as always. I hope there could be found a fix, which doesn't fit in "setting up another operating system" or "buying a new sound card or speakers". Of course I could just raise up my speaker volume, but any other sound outside from Skyrim would put me go "boom head explosion", if you know what I mean.


Attacking while moving over enemies with Carriers?

Is it possible to order a carrier to move over enemy units, while attacking them, but without stopping to attack ? This is useful if you want to make sure you carrier moves to safety or to the enemy's mineral line, but don't want to use the move command because, well, the interceptors seem to be able to attack while the carrier is attack-moving.


Xbox 360 restarts when switching TV Inputs (HDMI)

This has bothered me for some time. My Xbox is hooked up to my TV through an HDMI cable. Whenever I switch inputs (whether to another HDMI input or component) and then switch back to the Xbox, the Xbox restarts. This makes it impossible to flip back and forth between a TV show and the Xbox for example. Is this normal? If not, are there any workarounds? **What I've Tried**     * I have already tried different HDMI ports on the TV itself.   * When hooked up to the TV, other HDMI devices don't exhibit this behavior (PS3 for example) **What I Haven't Tried Yet**   * I could try a different cable but I'd have to borrow it... Would a cable defect explain this?

Should I play Portal before Portal 2?

There is a lot of noise around Portal 2 these days. I've looked at several videos and I'm interested in buying it.   The "problem" (you'll tell me if it's one or not) is that I never played Portal, the first game of the series.   So my question is simple, should I play Portal before play to Portal 2 because:   * The story is such that you'd better play the first game first to understand the whole plot.   * Some concepts are explained in the first game and not repeated in the second one, which would make me miss some little things.   * Any other things you might think of.


Other than being ethically correct, what are the benefits of playing with original game CDs?

Guys please don't take me in the wrong sense. I am not advocating for piracy. In fact I want to know about the advantages of playing with original game CDs so that I can attract gamers in my region, in India, to join my server. Please note that this is not a localized issue again, as piracy is a problem everywhere and this community being against piracy, I expect to get some good answers/ideas so as to complete my market analysis regarding this. **My own experience and some ideas**   I would tell a few things from my own experience. Piracy is very common here in India. To be honest, when we were in college, we used to play lots of games in multiplayer, all with pirated copies, on our college LANs. And after we passed out, I hardly found any friends who had the enthusiasm to play. So, I was left alone, and then I tried to join the public dedicated servers (those which appear in the list while playing - in the game's interface) but I got kicked out because I was having a pirated copy. Then I started looking for cracked servers. I found a few but they would be either always empty or too far so high in ping etc. So, I decided to purchase an original CD but now the problem of high ping frustrated me. You may check my question for further details. I was not aware of the problem of absence of dedicated servers around my region because I had never played with original CD before*** _(See my point regarding this fact below)_. Then I decided to do something about this. Please check this question for more details. But I am not yet sure if I will be able to attract enough passionate gamers to make my local server a self-sustainable one. So, I want to make sure there are indeed good benefits of spending some money to purchase the original CDs and this would be good enough to attract gamers. Please note that there are passionate gamers everywhere. There might be lot of gamers around me but they might be having their network of friends and might be playing with pirated copies of the game. But, can I make this more attractive and target these passionate gamers. _I was not aware of the problem of absence of dedicated servers around my region because I had never played with original CD before_ *** I guess this lack of knowledge was the main reason I purchased the original CD. But how many around me would be unaware of that. In case, many unaware enthusiast gamers have done this, then they can be my target to join my server. What do you say guys?


Predictability Of Minecraft Seeds

In a nutshell, is there anyway to predict what kind of landscape a certain seed will generate? I've done some research and seems like the answer is no, but is there some sort of general guideline, like seeds with just letters results in largely desert landscapes or that negative numbers as seeds result in large tundra biomes. Thank You!

How can I avoid fish/deer extinction?

I've built some hunting lodges and I'm looking at constructing another nearby. How can I know how much is too much for the local deer population? So far, I've decided on the simple guideline that no two hunting lodges should overlap, but four hunters/lodge is perfectly safe, but I've not actually found any evidence to suggest that this is safe. I'm not looking to fish yet but I will be, so I'd also like to know the same thing for fish- how can I know how much is sustainable?


How does +xp per kill on a follower works

When I equip a +xp per kill item on a follower, How is the extra xp gained? I've read already that I'll get only 20% of the bonus (so a +5xp will become +1xp) but, will I get it for every kill made by both of us (the player and the follower) or will it be given only for kills done by the follower?


How does blocking work in Diablo 3?

I see all shields have a block% and a damage reduction component. I have 2 Questions:   1. If an attack proc a block. Is the block damage reduction applied before or after armor and relevant resistance have been applied?   2. What damage sources are possible to block?      * Can you block Melee and physical projectiles? (I presume yes)     * Can you block Elemental projectiles?     * Can you block Physical AoE attack?     * Can you block Elemental AoE attacks?     * Can you block DoT ticks? (molten, desecrator etc)

How did most people come to be on Pandora?

Playing Borderlands 2 for a while, I've noticed something odd. There are clearly two human factions, one, the bandits, are uncivilized, wild, and will do anything for some "fresh meat". The other faction, the humans, live in Sanctuary, and they are normal people, considering the circumstances. What I'm curious about is where most of these humans came from? Were they orginially in Pandora? In Borderlands 1, there were very few "real humans", besides the denizens of T-Bone Junction, New Haven, and some I have forgotten. In Borderlands 2, the only real humans (besides a handful of NPCs) are located in Sanctuary, Liar's Berg, and a few other places. The game does allude to some humans arriving on Pandora to work (ie, Jakobs Cove in Borderlands 1, where they turned into zombies under Dr. Ned (not Zed!)) Basically, where did most of these humans come from? Job prospects? Born on Pandora itself?


How does Minecraft 1.8 Handle Saves Generated in Previous Versions?

The newest version of Minecraft has a modified terrain generation system. Not only does this add new terrain features, but it fundamentally changes generation. For this reason, seeds used in previous version produce radically different results from the same seeds in the new version. Because save files contain all previously-rendered chunks, it is my understanding that 1.7.3 maps will work in 1.8, and simply not have some of the new features. However, what happens when I move into areas of the map I haven't explored? Will it generate new chunks the 1.8 way, creating mis- matched boundaries? Or will it use the 1.7.3 terrain generator?

What's so special about Mick's Special Stash?

Twas morning in Freeside and at Ralph and Mick's   Not a creature was stirring, except for two chicks   on a mission from Elvis, to investigate   a bodyguard who seemed suspiciously great. When what to our wondering eyes should appear,   but a couple of thugs, wearing blastmaster gear!   Though we killed them, the battle was needlessly tough,   And we realized we needed lethaler stuff. So we entered the store and a Speech check we passed   and Mick's special weaponry was ours at last.   But then when I asked for the regular kind   the stuff was the same! No stairway! Denied! "What gives!?" I exclaimed as I looked through the FAQ   **"Does Mick's special stuff replace the regular rack?   Or is there some difference that I didn't note?**   I'll ask on Arqade! They can help me, I hope!"


Which dragon for which race?

So the update has added in a race track where you can pay 50,000 (so far) to enter your dragon and then race it. Unlike most things in Dragonvale this is an interactive race and dragon selection has a large impact upon the outcome as the dragons naturally move faster in the environments they are attuned to and move slower in ones that are their opposites. What I am after is a list of the race tracks and their elements. I can guess at some of them but some times I am very far off (I thought shimmering was ice, instead it was lightning for example).

One Move Controller for 2 players?

Can you play some games like bowling and Sports Champion on ps3 with 1 controller for 2 people by passing the move controller around? **UPDATE**      After buying Brunswick Pro Bolwing myself, i learned that it is ONLY pass-and- play. You cannot use more than one controller. In addition, and this is completely off topic, the game is horrible. Not at all realistic, and I know because I'm a highly active league bowler for the past 5 years with averages ranging from 190 or higher. Haven't checked High Velocity yet, but I will comment here when I do. I also have purchased Sports Champion. Some games are pass-and-play, some are not. Basically any sport were you take turns is pass-and-play, all others require 2 controllers. I.E.:      Disc Golf: Pass-and-Play   Table Tennis: 1 Controller Per Person


Where does Bastion store its configuration/settings?

I just picked up Bastion on Steam and ran into a small problem. By default, the game was running at my monitor's native resolution of 2560x1440, but I went to the in-game options menu and selected a different resolution by mistake. The problem is, the list of available resolutions _doesn't have a scrollbar_ , so now I can't change it back! The highest resolution I see in the list is 1920x1200. Since I just purchased the game I don't have any saved games to worry about, so I just want to wipe any settings/config files and start from the defaults. Where does Bastion keep its settings, or more importantly, **how can I reset the resolution**?

I just started playing the new Tomb Raider game and like a lot of modern games, it insists on those irritating press-the-right-button-at-the-right- moment minigames or quick time events to get your character through a sticky situation. One of these is a shrinking circle where apparently you're supposed to press something at a specific moment, but no matter what you do it just doesn't want to work.

What's the point of fences in Harvest Moon?

I've recently started playing the original Harvest Moon for the SNES. The farm is surrounded by (movable) fence posts, and it can be added to or rearranged. I can't tell what it does for me, though.

Is it possible to convert Lapis Lazuli into usefull stuff with EE3?

I'm playing Tekkit Lite with Equivalent Exchange 3, so I'm lacking any EMC values on my items and only can convert using the given recipes and the usage of Minium Stone. Additionally, there are over 30-50 stacks of lapis lazuli in my chests that are totally unused. Is there a way of changing dyes into others or something to convert Lapis Lazuli into Iron/Wood or sth like that?


How can I set a default map size and zoom level in Battlefield 3? (PC)

Is there any way to set a default map size and zoom level so that one does not have to hit M key and N key when respawning or entering / exiting a vehicle?


What is the purpose of the fog barriers?

I've recently started playing Demon's Souls, and I was wondering what use the fog barriers served. There aren't any prerequisites to go through them; you only have to hit X to "Enter Fog" and the barrier then disappears. You can freely run back the way you came, so it doesn't seem to be a one-way gate that blocks you from exploring earlier areas of the level. Is there some purpose I'm missing or that is explained later in the game? Does it trigger a save? I'm clueless here.


How does trading work between your own cities?

I've played this game a few times with the tutorials helping me along the way. How do I get my cities to manage their resources properly? Some need a given resource and others are full with a given resource. I know there are import and export values I can set but beyond that it is not entirely clear to me what I should do. In short, can someone elaborate how the trade system is meant to work amongst your own cities?


Does dualcast double gaining skill level?

In Skyrim when you play as mage character you can dualcast spells to do 2x effects. Does this affect leveling that skill too?


What are the shops with high level items in Skyrim?

I am now at level 32 in the game, and all the items that I can buy from the shops seem like too basic compared to what I find in the dungeons. Are there any special shops with very powerful items that I could have missed?


How do I fix the sound issues in the Sonic series iOS games?

Been having this issue for a bit. Basically the sound stops playing in Sonic 1, Sonic 2 and Sonic 4 episode one. The first time it happened I just redownloaded the games and then it was fine but now it has happened again and I don't know why. I am on a 4s with the most recent version of iOS (version 5.0.1). I was just wondering if anyone else is having this issue and whether they know how to fix it. I did contact Sega and all they had to say was that there are trying to update for iOS 5 as fast as they can.


How to play against friends in Medal of Honor?

A friend and I both have Medal of Honor for the PS3. We want to play against each other in online multiplayer mode, but we don't know how. Do you know if it is possible?


How do you handle a station that is both a source and a destination for a resource?

I have a large station with a forest on one end and a sawmill on the other. Wood is piling up in the station; does any portion of it get consumed directly by the sawmill? What do I need to do to get the rest of it consumed as well (preferably by the same sawmill)?


How does Raptr's "Track gametime manually" work?

On Raptr, can I manually track multiple games at once or will it only manually track one at a time? If manually tracking multiple games at once is not possible, which one will be tracked - the first one, or the latest one that I set up for manual tracking? Will manual tracking stop if I play another game while the manual tracker is "running"?


minecraft crashes on osx

Why does Steam keep validating files?

For a few months now, Steam has been validating my files whenever I open it. For years, Steam did not do this. What exactly is Steam doing when it says that it is validating files, and why does it need to do it so frequently? Here's what it looks like: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/zS7pE.png)


How do I escape the Far Lands?

I'm stuck in the Far Lands where nothing seems to load and I get kicked out after a period of time. I'm trying to do a /home right when I'm logging in but I get a timeout before it even appear in the console and it doesn't seems to works, and each time I have to reset the server. Anyone have any suggestion to fix that without reseting the world? Note: Yeah, I know I'm stupid to venture on the Far Lands but the curiosity won. :P


I need more lollipos in Candy box 2

I think I've already found every lollipop and in my farm I'm getting 4500 lolli's a second, but I really need a lot. Is there any other way I can find lollipops?


How can I find out which provinces are owned by another (enemy) country?

Is there an in-game way to find out which provinces are owned by another (enemy) country? (I don't want to resort to the console.) As background, I'm playing as the Ottomans. Byzantium has re-emerged in Cyprus. Cyprus is their capital, and I thought Cyprus was their only province. I now occupy Cyprus, but cannot fully annex Byzantium. I presume they control another province, but I don't know which one. I want to find out so that I can send my army there.


Is there a way to move a stuck ragdoll/corpse (that can't be resurrected)?

![Gunjar's naked \(but not nude\) corpse with head stuck in chair](http://i.stack.imgur.com/pBLi8.jpg)   Link to higher res.. This is Gunjar's corpse. I want to move it, but his head is stuck. I tried "moveto player", but it didn't work. I tried resurrecting him before doing that, but he's stone-dead. "tcl" doesn't seem to do anything. Why I want to move his body is because I want to use it as a (temporary) storage container on the other side of the room. Is there a way to separate him from the object or is chair-head his final form?


Is there a way to respec attributes?

I'm pretty sure there isn't a way-explicitly-offered-by-the-game to unset and reinvest health, stamina, and/or magicka advancements, but I'm also curious about exploits, console commands, and/or mods.


Terraria cross platform help

I have Terraria for Xbox 360, Android, and PC (I'm in love with this game) but my brother only has an iPhone. The developers recently released a new update adding all the new console content and whatnot to the mobile versions. Is it possible to cross platform any of my items with his iPhone so he doesn't buy it for nothing?


Blazes not swimming up in lava

I'm trying to build a blaze farm, and I've noticed that blazes aren't swimming up in lava. I'm in version 14w26c. I did some testing in a creative world, and it seems in version 1.7.9 they do, but 14w26c they dont. Is this a bug in the snapshot, or is this something intended by Mojang?


Can command blocks teleport the a person closest to a set of coords instead of the command block itself?

I'm trying to build a teleport system in Minecraft, but the command blocks that have the teleport command (/tp @p x y z) are far away from the pressure plate I use to activate it. I use this world with other people, so I'm worried that other people might be closer to the command blocks than I am, and they will accidentally get teleported. Is there any way to make it so the command blocks teleport the closest person to a certain set of coordinates instead of the command block itself? Is that even possible?


Is there any diplomatic effect for "You'll pay for this" responses when talking to other players?

When being told > Oopsies, it seems we have squashed one of your favorite city-states. or similar niceties by an AI opponent, is there any diplomatic or other effect for responding with "You'll pay for this" or the nicer option such as "We won't let this divide come between us"? The dialog choices seem to offer a chance to shape the relationship with the other leader. However, the diplomatic tooltip hints never mention the responses.

Extend the fire propagation limit in Far Cry 2?

For a game that boasts the "most realistic fire" ever in a video-game ( _at least when it came out, not too sure about more recent developments)_ Far Cry 2's fire seems to die out way before a real fire would, especially in the dry savannah's of a war-torn African country. They should spread like **_wildfire_**. Literally. Obviously this is more of a limit imposed by the (most likely) taxing propagation algorithms, and the added rendering of those high-def textures. **But is there a way to tweak the limit of fire spread?** Obviously not in- game, but perhaps a config file or even a mod that increases how far a fire spreads before dying out?


Skins that affect game mechanics

I was under the impression that all skins are only related to appearance, but came across this mention of Kog'Maw's Lion Dance which actually modifies the skill behaviour. Does this affect anything besides the visuals (as in damage, proc effects, projectile speed etc.), and if so which other skins affect the actual gameplay? There is also a post on skins with sunglasses interact with Leona's ability, are there other such hidden factors that are common across skins? (say, frostfire skins resist more ice damage or something) A generic way to easily identify these skins when browsing champions on the LoL site would also be very helpful.


What is the Honor of Kalos used for?

At the end of Pokemotn: X and Pokemon: Y, professor Sycamore gives the player an item called the Honor of Kalos. Does this item serve a purpose, or is it just a trophy item?


Starting game freezes during loading game with black screen

The game keeps loading for an infinite amount of time. It shows the **Last of us logo** blinking all the time and nothing happens. It's been more than 3 hours waiting now.

How does the XP system work in Borderlands 2

I have been playing Borderlands 2 for the last couple of weeks now, but I still do not know how the XP system works. I try to Google for some information but I only find XP glitch information. I do not know why people want to do that. Is there a list of enemies with the amount of XP they drop, that would be nice to know. Also I noticed that the amount of XP you get depend on the level gap between you and the enemy, there must be some calculations on that. The **main thing I want to know** is this:   * Do you gain more XP depending on the method used? (gun type / grenade / element)   * Do you gain more XP from a critical kill?   * If one of these above apply to enemies, do they also apply to bosses?


What are the spawn points for the "I Like My Monsters Rare" quest?

> Objectives > >   * Kill pink boroks: 0/8 >   * Kill tailless scaylion: 0/8 >   * Kill two-legged drifters: 0/6 >   * Kill albino skags: 0/5 >   * Kill slagged spores: 0/4 > I've read that these monsters' spawns are completely random, but I know that at least some of the types have a proclivity for a certain area. (E.g., pink boroks in first valley of Adorton Station, albino skags with Claptrap's urine quest.) They aren't listed in the wiki. Where are the best places to find each of these?


How do I create villages?

I would like to create a village. Apparently this is possible as of Minecraft 1.4.2, so how do I do it?


Free buildings that I already have?

I've wondered this for a while and never found a satisfactory answer. Free buildings, of course, are free - no build time, no build cost, no maintenance. However, what happens if the city in question already has said free building? Specifically, the CN Tower is available MUCH later than the Broadcast Tower. When I finish my CN tower, do all the Broadcast Towers I've already built revert to their free, no-maintenance versions? Or would I have to refrain from building ANY Broadcast Towers until near-endgame in order to maximize my benefit from this particular wonder? The same question applies to other "free building" effects - Great Library (Library), Hubble Space Telescope (Spaceship Factory), Legalism (Monument), completed Tradition culture track (Aqueduct)...


Why does my Pole Position 2 Cart play Qbert?

A guy I work with just gave me his Atari 2600 and a bunch of games, I hooked it up and thought what should be the first game I try (after 5 hours of playing Destiny) so I popped in Pole Position I figured of all the games in the box this one would show off what the 2600 could really do... Power ON... then Q-Bert...what the heck? TL:DR My Pole Position 2 Cart plays Qbert ...


Does dying count as tripping?

In **Objectives** that need you to go a certain distance without tripping (in my case 5,000 metres), does dying and then being resurrected (through **gems** ) count as tripping? I say this because I **resurrected** and completed 5,000 metres, to my knowledge, _without tripping_ , but did not get the +1 Multiplier.


Does Torturous Grounds prevent Cull the Weak

Cull the Weak increased damaged on slowed enemies, but Torturous Grounds causes the first two seconds of Caltrops to be an immobilize effect. Does this override the slow for the first two seconds and thus not grant the extra damage?


Does the damage bonus from Disruption affect itself?

My Disruption rune says "Targets hit by Arcane Torrent become Disrupted for 6 seconds, causing them to take 15% additional damage from any attacks that deal Arcane damage." Does this bonus include subsequent hits of Arcane Torrent? I find this skill very impractical to use unless I'm in a spot where I can sit down and hold the button down (it takes too long for the first projectile to hit) so this greatly interests me.


How to solve 5-4?

What I do is, all while holding the running button:   * Run off the platform and jump   * Jump then hold jump for a little longer to climb that extra height   * Jump off the wall onto the left.   * Jump off the wall onto the right.   * Reach slightly above the first repulser   * Reach slightly above the second repulser   * End up on the wall below Bandage Girl. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/PvUAT.jpg) From there I'm stuck. If I try to jump back on the second repulser, I don't gain enough altitude to reach the ledge. Am I screwing up with the double-repulser jump? Am I supposed to end up on that wall? I could try using Commander Video's longer jumping capabilities, but with him I can't clear the second repulser jump, as the first doesn't gain him enough height. The other character I have is Headcrab, but it doesn't seem to be particularly useful for anything. The A+ time is 13.5 and by the time I reach the opposite wall 6.5 seconds have elapsed, so I guess I'm not supposed to reach that ledge straight away after all. I still can't manage to pull this off however.


What is going on with these pistons?

I was messing around with pistons today, and I cam across this weird senario whhere they are not working as expected. I took some screenshots, they are Here and are in order. I have three pistons on top of each other (A, B and C) with A on top. I have a redstone repeater aiming at a wood block that is next to A               .RXA     XXXB     XXXC      Where X is wood, . is wire and R is a redstone repeater.   * Starting from off, if I turn power on at A, only A goes out.   * If I then turn on power to C, B and C go out.   * If I remove power to C, only C retracts.   * Once I remove power to A, A and B retract. If I toggle power the other way:   * If I turn power on to C, then C goes out.   * If I turn power on to A, only A goes out, not B.   * If I remove power to C, then C goes in and B goes out. This is madness.   * If I remove power to A then A and B retract. This is really odd behavior. Can someone explain the logic behind it so I can work around it?


Mechanics of Invasion

Today I've been invaded for the first time and I kept being invaded for quite some time after that, in succession. In the beginning only one invader came and he was killed. Another one came and I killed him too. The third time two invaders came and I died. At this point I thought no one would come anymore but I was wrong. The fourth time two invader came and I managed to kill them both. The fifth time a single invader was sent back with his ass kicked. At this point I burned a human effigy because I wanted to fight the boss of the area. This made me wonder why I was never invaded before and out of the blue an horde of invaders came to my world.   At that point I've never invaded anyone. Another weird thing is that even tho I'm in the "Way of Blue" covenant and wearing the ring I was never helped. Do I have to do something (other than what I did already) in order to summon a blue ghost? Do the blue sentinels need to just wear the ring in order to be automatically summoned or they need to use the blue orb? Does the area I'm in affects invasion/help (ie: blue sentinels can be summoned even if we actually are in two different areas from the game?) My question is: what's the mechanic of invasion? Is there something I can do to lower/increment the change to be invaded? How can I summon blue ghost if I'm invaded? It may seems a lot of questions but they are all related to the same topic: How does the invasion system work?


How long does dropped loot last?

When I'm running through Sanctuary killing the forces of Hell, sometimes I find myself in so much of a hurry that I fail to pickup a particular item or bundle of dropped coins. Assuming I survive the pack of demons chasing me, how long do I have to pick up items left behind on the ground before they disappear into the aether?

How do attribute/stat increases scale after level 60 (Paragon levels)?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How are attributes allocated? > Every Paragon level will reward you with: **Core stats such as Strength, > Dexterity, Intelligence, and Vitality in amounts similar to what you’d gain > from a normal level** ; 3% Magic Find and 3% Gold Find1 I can't find a decent explanation on how these core stats scale for each level. Exactly how much does each stat change with every successive Paragon level? Are the gains more significant after a certain point, or are gains linear with Paragon level?


What is the exact formula for calculating total vitality? Please include charlevel and paragon level

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How are attributes allocated? The best answer that I can find is lacking a few specifics: Percentage life vs vitality? Given I'm concerned only with total vitality, rather than the tradeoffs %Life and Vit, I've opened a new question. Namely, is a constant in the previous question that is not explained, that I assume are a function of character level. The previous page does also not account for paragon levels. For reference, the answered formula should use the following parameters to give a total vitality of `1218`. `1023` Vit from gear, level `34` paragon, level `60` barbarian, `10` % Life increase. Using the referenced formula I've added a term for 2 vit per level of paragon.               Total Vit = (127 + GearVitality + 2 * ParagonLvl)


Diablo III: Leveling System

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How are attributes allocated? I leveled a Wizard from LVL 4 to LVL 6, my stats changed as follows ("naked" Charakter, no items/weapons/armong etc. attached): LVL 4 Strength=11 Dexterity=11 Intelligence=19 Vitality=17 LVL 5 Strength=12 Dexterity=12 Intelligence=22 Vitality=17 LVL 6 Strength=13 Dexterity=13 Intelligence=25 Vitality=19 I know it's just three levels but what it looks like to me is that every level the stats increase as follows (Not sure how this scales in the higher levels): Strength +1 Dexterity +1 Intelligence +3 Vitality +2 It looks to me, like the stats increases follow a linear curve - or am I mistaken and this changes towards later level (through a level-related variant maybe) ? **EDIT** The function I came up with would be (using the Wizard as an example): Strength: startingValue + level * 1 This would mean the starting value of Strength for a Wizard should be 8 however if you try level 6 by using the above formula: 8 + 6 * 1 = 14 But on LVL 6 the Wizard has Strength = 13 - which makes me wonder, if there is some kind of variant? Something like: starting Value + level * 1 * Variant


Can I level up Blacksmithing and Jewelcrafting at the same time easily?

I'm playing with my boyfriend, and he recommended one of us go Smithing and the other go Jewelcrafting, however I still haven't found the jewelcrafting guy yet and have a decent amount of money, so have been considering putting some money into smithing anyways for when hes not around. Are you capable of easily leveling Blacksmithing and Jewelcrafting at the same time? Or if playing with someone else, is it a better idea to have each person focus on one of the two?


How can I grab a teammate's attention?

In 2vs2 game, you often need assistance from teammates such as: asking for minerals, asking for scans, asking for help, etc... When everything is more or less ok, you can just Alt+click on the minimap to take attention or write a text. However, when a lot of events are going on, your teammate can often miss these indicators. How can you best grab their attention in absence of a microphone?


Weapon attachment kick effects

Does anyone have stats on how much the silencer attachment reduces recoil compared to the kick proficiency and grip attachment? It seems to vary from weapon to weapon, but I'm not sure. Additionally, the ACOG scope attachment sometimes seems to increase kick - I know it pushes the range flip of weapons farther out, so it makes sense. Is this a documented phenomenon? Thanks


If I gift someone on Steam, will they see my email address?

I remembered that the email associated with my username has my surname in it, and would rather this wasn't exposed. I assumed it would not be shown but have been seeing otherwise! I purchased a game as a gift, selected their name, added a personal message and chose to send through their Steam Account in the options (not the send by email option). But they still receive an email with this option, I see. So will they see my email?


What is the purpose of putting ad/support top?

I often see pro league players switch their top and bot - ad/support going top and bruiser going bot. What is the purpose of this switch? Is it more efficient for ganks and securing objectives? Or is it to counter certain team compositions?


How do I complete the incomplete symbol on the door in Faron Woods?

In _Skyward Sword_ , after getting the Water Dragon Scales and talking to a Kikwi called Yerbal in the top of the great tree, I need to complete a incomplete symbol to open a door to the last unexplored area. I've found the completed symbol, yet when I do a skyward strike on the incomplete symbol, nothing happens.


Why do people turn and face the bomb in CS:GO?

I have tested if the bomb is facing you or not and the damage is the same. Is just for fun? It seems like you have a higher chance of dying if you face the bomb because you have to take time to turn around


How to get sugarcane in minecraft PE?

I've seen sugarcane in Minecraft PE free version, but I cannot collect it, even in survival mode. Can you collect sugarcane in the free version of Minecraft PE ?


How do I use the Battle Box?

I wanted to train up a few Scatterbug that I had traded for, so I put my regular team in the Battle Box, thinking that if I were challenged to a battle, I'd get to pick to use them instead. So of course, I was challenged to a battle. I accepted, and when I got to the screen where I could pick which Pokemon are entered, I only saw what was currently in my party, and no option to get my Pokemon from the Battle Box. Is this what the Battle Box is used for? Why couldn't I battle with the Pokemon in it?

Why does my mission marker disappear in Saints Row 3?

When I'm doing a mission, for example, the mission "Live! With Killbane". I put the transmitters on the towers and followed the van and then I'm suppose to head to the interview. The mission marker shows up on some building that I fly to and then after I land on the building it disappears? I can't go down the building and when I'm out of the helicopter too long it says that I need to get back in it. But when I do I see no marker of where I should go. It's so confusing and quite annoying because I have failed 3-5 missions because of this glitch/bug. Anyone else have this problem and or know what to do to fix this?


How do GameShark codes work?

This has always boggled me. Obviously GameShark and Game Genie never got inside access to place their own cheats into _every game_. I don't think any developers gave them the source code to pour over for codes. And I don't think the original development process for these games included placing any of these codes themselves. So, what is a GameShark or Game Genie code, really? Both of them usually take the form of a relatively short hexadecimal string (or multiple if that is the case) so my intuition tells me they use the same principle. But are they just memory addresses to flip a bit? Or lock it? Or XOR a series of bits with something? What is the code, and what does it do?


Are Steam games sandboxed?

Now that Steam is officially available on Linux, I am very interested in it! However, I wonder what is the security system in Steam? When I download a game through Steam, will the game run as native application that has complete access to user data or in a sandboxed environment with declared permissions (similar to Android)?


What happens if I use two cards with the same sort of effect?

When I am choosing my cards for a dig, I know I get three cards. Usually, I end up with three different ones, but I started to wonder - if I have a mission to collect, say, a lot of coal, can I stack card effects to make it easier? For example, can I use both a Coal Galore card that says "100% more Coal blocks. 12% of Coal blocks are explosive" and a More Coal card that says "100% more Coal blocks", and have the effects combine? Or does it just select the "better" card?


How can I maximize my critical chance?

I'd really like to build a mixed elemental/critical bow ranger (with a huge critical multiplier and, therefore, a high critical chance): it sounds like a nice way to deal great damages. There are several passive to increase the critical multiplier, but I can't find so many to increase the critical chance, which is pretty low with the bows I've found so far (the basic critical chance is 5%). I've also read several threads about this build on their forum, but most of them are either outdated, either heavily debated. How can I increase my critical chance ? Gear ? Gems ? Any passives I have missed ?


Do widow mines splash ground units when targeting air units?

I just played a monobattle, where I went widow mines. A teammate told me to not to burrow my mines in his mineral lines because of their splash, but the only units they had for harassment were air units. So my question is, **if a widow mine targets an air unit, would it also cause splash damage to ground units underneath it?** For example, if a bunch of mutalisks come fly on top of my mineral line, and my widow mine fires at them while on top of my workers, would my workers also be damaged?


Cannot Join Counter Strike Go Servers

Every server I try to join gives me the whole "Not Responding" bit so I went ahead and allowed it through my firewall as an exception but still no luck. Every single server is like this. What are some other things that could cause servers not to respond?


How can I enumerate my installed DLCs on PS3?

> Related: What do I need to complete my Mass Effect Trilogy collection? So, I've finally gotten the funds to fully complete my Mass Effect Trilogy collection. However, I know there were a few DLCs that I have already purchased - and I've forgotten which. I'd rather not have to load each game and go through their menus (if there even are any available) to find out which ones have been installed. Is there a way, outside of in-game menus or links, to get a list of _all_ DLCs installed on the PS3? I've tried the Game Data Utility, but this does not list individual DLCs. It only shows one item called "[Game Name] DLC and Patches" and will not give any more granular detail.


Can I go back to get unique loot?

I just finished the first mission (Lockdown), and was disappointed to see that I'd only found 2/4 unique loot items. Will I get the opportunity to go back later to find it, or do I have to restart/reload?


What does 'do a 180' mean in Halo 3?

I was reading this tip on my Halo 3 guide. It said to find a certain skull on the Covenant. I had to climb up this pathway at the 2 tower, turn left, then do a "180". How am I suppose to do a 180?


How do you support Ezreal?

I main supports. I do a job good enough, by feeding my AD carry, denying the other bot lane, roaming or pulling off clutch support moves, to "carry" the game more often than not. The one exception to that rule is Ezreal. Unlike other AD carries, I don't feel I make anything happen with Ezreal other than hope he is good enough to out-play our opponents. From my point of view, he has poor harass and poor burst. I can't play a kill lane Leona or Alistar as we'll likely get out-DPSed. I can't play a passive Soraka, but it feels like we're getting denied too easily. Blitzcank is about the only support I have had some success with, but even there it feels considerably more difficult than when I play Blitzcrank with other lane partners. Ezreal really feels like laning with a bad Corki.


How can I ensure a chubby spawn?

I've played a few hours between two characters having never seen a chubby monster spawn anywhere (as far as I recall anyway) and then I ran into two during my first trip to the caustic caverns with my second character. They seem to drop decent loot and the two I saw were pretty easy to defeat. Is there a reliable way to spawn these cute things so I can murder them for epic guns?


Is it required to kill all additional guards to save a citizen?

Are you only required to kill the specific guards that were harassing the citizen? Oftentimes another guard (or several guards) will patrol along and join the fight when they see it happening. Once you've killed the harassing guards is it safe to run away and hide somewhere to let the patrolling guards leave the scene? Can you then go back and save the citizen?


How do I find good minerals in Terraria?

How far do I need to dig to find good minerals and materials for good items? I think I've been digging for almost 200 blocks now and all I find is copper, iron, silver and gold. Where do I find good minerals like amethyst and such, to make lightsabers?


How much honor must I have to earn badges?

I see in this earlier question about honor that the amount needed is unknown, but in another question it's stated to be 25. How much **Teamplay** or **Honorable Opponent** honor must I earn to receive a badge?
