How do I get a turbo-boost at the start of the race?

In one of the loading screens, a tip says "Hit ACCELERATE at just the right moment during the countdown to get a TURBO-BOOST start":   ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/an0F8.jpg) When's the "right moment" and what are techniques or tips to increase the chances that I hit the accelerate button at the right moment? Does the "right moment" differ per racer character? If yes, please state the differences.


Does completing a location stop vehicles spawning?

The other day in JC2, I found a military base that keeps spawning fighter jets. Or at least, it was doing so initially when I discovered the base. Dozens of jets must have taken off while I softened the place up, tethered bad guys to the jets, tethered jets to the runway, etc. In due course I cleaned the place out, got the 'complete' banner, and moved on. Thing is when I went back there later, there weren't any more jets. Would this base have kept spawning new jets if I hadn't completed it? Or was there only a finite number of jets to begin with? I wanted to go back and try tying some vehicles to them! (The base in question was Kem Sungai Sejuk at 17141, 12369).


Rogue reforge for pve/pvp

I am wondering which is the best reforging for rogue on pve gear, and which is on pvp gear. I know for pve first should be hit rating to 8% and then the rest but I don't know if this applies to pvp as well. What I ask for is for subtetly 8/2/31 for pvp and combat for pve. Also, I'm not even sure reforging makes sense if you have vicious set for pvp. Well, this is pretty straight-forward question so any suggestions are appreciated. Also, I'm really not interested in anything else(glyph,builds,poisons etc) but the reforging matter. Thanks. My references are from wowpopular,maxdps,pverogues.


Does community market bought items count as "spending money in-game"?

When i am buying items(skins and whatnot) in the CS:GO-market in Steam, does it count towards me getting new Steam trading cards by "spending money in- game"?


PSP to PSVita PSOne Classic savefile: Cannot access the memory card

I've read that for transferring a PSP save to Vita, you must copy the folder of the game you want from PSP/SAVEDATA to the PSGAME folder where you set the PSVita's ContentManager to be. So I tried transfer a save of PSOne Classic FinalFantasy IX from PSP to Vita as described (both PSP and Vita were downloaded directly from PSN, not hacked somehow, k?) But on Vita, when I launch the FFIX, appears the following message, and the game closes: > Cannot access the memory card. Checking the savefile sizes on Vita itself, the PSP save is ~200kb while if I start from scratch on Vita, it's ~450kb. Anyone experienced this problem? And fixed somehow? I really don't want to start over :-(

Scribblenauts Mods Won't Download Effectively

When I loaded my game (About 10 minutes later after subscribing to the mods) only one of them worked (which was nyan cat :P), the other three still wont work. I have made sure I am typing the correct letters and I am 100% subscribed to all the mods. How can I fix this?

How do I see what blueprint was discovered for the notification "New Blueprint Discovered"?

I recently landed on a Desert biome in the Beta sector and as I was starting to dig into some loose sand I was picking up some loose items and I saw a notification with the others: > New Blueprint Discovered Is there a way to tell which blueprint this was, or is there a list of locations/actions that result in discovering new blueprints (like discovering Snow Infantry Armor on Snow planets)? Can I have just "loosened" a blueprint in the planet?


What rule system does Diablo III use?

I am really interested in the actual calculations behind damage, how stats increase, avoidance calculations (e.g., miss chance, dodge, etc.), and so on. How are these calculated? Is Diablo based on a role-playing system (such as GURP) whose calculations are publicly available?


Where can I find out what games have cards?

Which games drop cards? I've been looking at the Steam Trading Card FAQ. However, I recently discovered that it's incomplete _(eg. Trine 2 and A.R.E.S. now have cards, but aren't listed there)_. Obviously I don't expect someone here to maintain an updated list; but, **is there _anywhere_ online I can view an updated list of which games have cards?**


Can a Playstation 4 be used simultaneously while remote playing with a Vita?

I am interested in buying a PS4 and have a question related to remote play: If I were to remote play with the Playstation 4, could another person be playing it separately as well? For example, could I be streaming Need for Speed Rivals to my Vita, while say my brother plays Knack? Obviously this couldn't be done with disc based games, but would it be possible to have two users doing different things simultaneously. Also, if this could be possible, would it allow to different PSNs to be logged in at the same time?


How is CC reduced in higher difficulties?

How deep and wide should flowing moats be in Minecraft?

I'm currently flatting out a big jungle mountain top to build my castle in Minecraft. I want to have my castle surrounded by flowing moats (that mostly plunge off big cliffs). To prevent mobs from crossing the moats how deep and wide do I need to dig them? Is it correct I'll need to make them shallower in the middle and deeper at each end to get the water to flow correctly?


In Civ5, What are the ways of improving water tiles?

I'm going to play an archipelago map. The problem is that water tiles seem so useless in civ5. They only give one food and one gold. The only two things I recall that can help to improve them is lighthouse for additional food and a colossus for gold, but the latter sadly just works for that one city. Are there any other ways improving water tiles, or shall I go more for the specialist economy?


How can I tell in battle if a Pokemon is shiny?

I haven't caught one yet, so I wouldn't know, but how do you identify a shiny Pokemon vs non-shiny? I remember that in previous gens, the Pokemon would sparkle before battling, is there any way I can know if the Pokemon is shiny or not (in battle, not in profile)?

Can I suppress the level up popup menu during fights?

Sometimes during a team fight I get a lvl up, and the interface wants me to learn some ability. This is very frustrating as I'm trying to use some specific skill that may already be at top lvl, or it is a late game, and I can only learn stats. When u need to stun or escape, there is no time to learn a stat. Pretty often, I die in this situation or I lose precious seconds. Is there any way to avoid this? Is there an option for learning skills to be background by default? (So you need to click on ability learn first, and then choose a skill) Or is there any other way to accomplish this?


What is the Maximum duration for Blessing?

I started a fire. Is my entire civilization doomed?

I got the meteor power at about 4500 population, and thought it'd be neat to cast one on my own people to crash through some level 1 abodes and make room for bigger ones, which appear to have more people and belief generation within the same area. Now my entire civilization is burning and there's nothing I can do to stop it. I have several towns on vastly different elevations (with differences as much as 25 layers) and I have removed all means of foot traversal between them. But the fire just keeps spreading! It seems if a house explodes within a mile of any nearby houses, the fire will spread across any elevation. The workers make things worse too, since they get set on fire, then try to repair the house, which just sets the house on fire. Beautifying does absolutely nothing, except make them pretty and sparkly as they die. I did not expect one single fire to spread this much. Did I really just waste ~18 hours of gameplay by casting a single spell? Is this a bug, or a feature?

who should I choose for a heist?

Recently I've completed my first heist. I used the better hacker, the worse driver and the worse gunner(or whatever he's called). As a result I got: > **1)** we had enough time to steal all the items(thanks to a good hacker) . > **2)** one guy fell of the bike when we were running away. Result: lost > around 1.4 mil(down to 2.8 from 4.2) . > **3)** the driver wasn't sure where to go, so he chose random direction, > which appeared to be the right one. . > And 2 of the crew got +25% skill I think after the completion of the > mission. Looks like the one who fell down with a bike got nothing. So the question is: should I take the better ones from the beginning or is it better to take the worse ones and let them become better?


Dragon not appearing at Bonestrewn Crest

I've heard that this particular dragon has been causing problems for people in that it won't die and whatnot, but it won't even spawn for me :(. I have a bounty for this dragon, so I would like to take care of it as soon as possible, but there's absolutely no sign of it anywhere. I've learned the word, looted the chest, and even ran around and fast travelled, but it's not appearing. Am I missing something? :(. Thanks! xx


Mail agility/stamina and intellect/stamina leatherworking gear for shaman

I am leveling a shaman with enhancement as main spec and resto as secondary spec. He is decked in heirloom gear currently, but level 80 is approaching at which point my gear will be too weak to continue soloing as fast as I am now in the Cataclysm zones for levels 80-85. For my priest, I had a tailor craft me some intellect/stamina gear that helped tremendously in these zones. To my understanding, a leatherworker can do the same for mail intellect/stamina and agility/stamina gear to fulfil both of my specs. Is there a name for this gear (for both sets) that will make it easier for me to identify with a leatherworker what exactly it is that I need?


Mass Effect 3: Levels and cooldowns

Does the level in single player in any way affect the Multiplayer game? Because i have been playing and even tho i chose to go mainly for cooldowns they just won't go lower than 3,7-4,2 seconds. And still i can see people using their powers faster? I have tried with the omni-capasitor IV and with the Expert package V, but it doesn't seem to affect the tech or bio cooldowns in any way? And does promote do anything other then giving me challenge points? or is that all it does? Any answers will be helpful, Thanks =)


How do I use the different rods in Legend of the River King?

I've figured out how to fish using a bait rod. However, I bought a lure rod and am very confused about how to use it. I can "hook" a fish, or rather get it interested in the lure so that the game goes into the profile view fishing mode; but the fish won't bite the hook. What do I need to do to catch while using the different rods? I'm asking the general rod use question, because I'll undoubtedly run into problems whenever I switch to a fly rod as well.

Skyrim Mac Mouse Simultaneous Click

I recently picked Skyrim on my Mac and I can't double cast or bash with my shield, because those actions require a simultaneous click. Sometimes I'm able to do it (don't ask me how), but I'm looking for a way to either map M2's functions to the keyboard OR find a way to properly configure my mouse in order to make the movements possible. Thanks in advance!!!


Are Tamed Monster Growth Patterns Random?

Does a tamed monster of a particular type always have the same final "leveling" disposition? For example, every single Pulse Knight I've tamed so far has been an **Early Learner**. I was hoping to use him further into the game, but with a maximum level of 20 it's not feasible.


How long will Nintendo store my dream town?

According to the the Animal Crossing Wikia: > If the dream world is not updated or visited for a very long time, it will > be automatically deleted from Nintendo's servers. This will wipe every > collected data of the dream world including visit counts. So I'm wondering, how long can my dream town go without being visited or updated before Nintendo's servers delete it?


Is a build relying only on fire damage viable?

I'm currently running a build relying almost only on fire damage (through the Promethean Magic skill) for defeating enemies. Currently when I encounter fire-resistant monsters I either whack them with a stick or rely on the high damage on the fire wall spell (Gog's Tactical Pyre) to penetrate their resistance. At the moment I'm on level 8. I wanted to know if this is a viable build even for late game, or will I encounter too many powerful fire-resistant monsters and I need to think of some alternative (for instance, I have Alchemy, so maybe I should start stockpiling flasks of acid or noxious brimstone).


Excessively long load/save times

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Skyrim Very Long Load Times! I have turned off the auto-saves due to the fact it takes about 7-10 minutes to do so. Even going through a door or fast traveling still takes forever. This is making me want to not keep playing for that reason. I cleared my cache and also deleted all my saves exept for 2 but nothing helps. This all started when I got the update for the game back in January. Please anyone one, what do I do???


How do I achieve a gold score on the dribble drill?

Even though I made it past all the cones, blockers, and scored the shot(dunks and layups most of the time) on the dribble course drill (all three drills), my final score wasn't high enough to get a gold score. What else do I need to do to get the gold score?

Early money making strategies

So I have read all the answers to this question here about how to grind money. This however seems to be an end-game money grind as they all mention Le Wow and the one indepth answer says two level 100 pokemon with this that and the other along with a 100,000 buy in. What I want are good locations and/or strategies to use to get money along the way until the end game. I may have a pokemon catching addiction but 90% of my money goes into pokeballs and even with a good capture rate I am having a hard time keeping enough Poke Balls in my stock to catch new pokemon as I run into them. I have played up to meeting Professor Sycamore so far and pretty much all of my money has come from trainer battles. What other options do I have?


When should I set up a school?

I think my settlement is somewhat stable now. I have a mine and quarry, so reliable sources of iron/coal/stone. The food supply seems pretty robust, I have three gatherer/forester stations along with two crop fields and everything seems to be chugging along fine. Should I expand some more (build more houses, farms, pastures, etc.) or should I start building some non- essential support buildings such as schools and churches?


Why did my fish die?

I bought some fish in the Citadel for my cabin, fed them a few times, stared at them a bit, and did a couple of missions. When I came back from these missions, my fish were dead! Why did the die? I've bought some more, and I've been watching them for any signs of peakishness, but they seem fine so far. How can I ensure a long lifespan for my new aquatic friends? Is my hamster in danger too?

How does the "Soul Harvest" skill work?

I just unlocked this skill which feeds on the life force of my enemies to increase my Intelligence by 30 seconds. When I activate it, a circle of light surrounds me. What's not clear to me is whether enemies need to be in this radius of light for the Soul Harvest to take effect. Or do I activate the skill and then kill my enemies to reap the effect's benefits and how can I tell if I am benefiting from it?


What does 'Increased Sign Intensity' mean?

Certain potions and talents can increase 'sign intensity', while many others increase sign damage. The damage increase seems pretty straightforward, but what does increasing the sign intensity actually do? Those seem to be separate effects, as seen in the bonuses section of the character abilities screen. Sign intensity seems to have a base value of 1 and the following ways to increase it:   * The skill magic intensification increases the sign intensity by +1/+2.   * The Stammelford's philter potion increases sign intensity by +1 Does it also increase damage of Yrden and Igni? Does it affect the chance of stun for Aard, the chance to immobilize for Yrden or the chance for success of Axii? And what does the value mean, how much effect does it have if I get a talent that gives me +1 on sign intensity? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/zsCiE.png)


Warwick and Olaf ultis!

Warwick and Olaf fighting up top 1v1 like normal. Lets say Warwick ulti's and then immediatly after olaf ultis, but olaf doesn't run away and stays where he was supressed and continues to beat on warwick.

Will I get corpses if enemies were stunned?

I'm playing XCOM: Enemy Within. I've already researched all the corpses type and had lots of plasma weapons for my entire troops. It seems no need to stun enemies and capture them alive. Will I get corpses if I stun the enemies instead of kill them? If I can only get their weapons and nothing else, maybe I don't need to bother capture them any more. Thanks for the answers :D


How do I craft a legendary weapon?

By all accounts, Legendary weapons are of equal power to Ascended (Pink) weapons, and so do not confer a _statistical_ advantage over their less impressive Ascended companions, but their Legendary status brings other perks, like crazy visual effects, the ability to change their stats combinations, and more ephemeral bonuses like in-game prestige. In the beta, there was some indication that these legendary weapons required a great deal of crafting to complete, at a great investment of time and materials. I've _also_ heard that the way legendaries are obtained has _changed_ between the betas and release. So what's the skinny? How can one earn a legendary weapon for themselves?


Why do Terran players bring SCVs with their main army so often?

It is quite common to see games where Terran players start moving aggressively across the map with their army, and bringing about 10-15 SCVs with. You however never see Protoss bring probes, or Zerg bring drones. What causes this phenomenon?

Can I reenchant an already enchanted item?

I've got some nice Dragonplate armour now and I was thinking about enchanting it with something nice. My enchantment skill is not maxed out though, so I will only be able to put some mediocre enchantments on the armour. Can I put some weaker enchantment on it now and later, when I have better enchantment skill, replace the enchantment with something new? Or can I only enchant plain, non-magical items? Is there a way to unenchant an item?


Garry's Mod - Missing Map map/<mapname>

Trying to play Trouble in Terrorist Town. Every time I join a server, the progress bar goes real quick through all the files, and I get "Missing map map/<mapname>". I tried downloading the map manually and placing it in the maps folder, but that still does not work, because none of the other models/LUA scripts get downloaded either. This issue does not happen in other sourcemod games (eg. TF2), only Garry's Mod. Before a few updates ago, it used to work on on this same computer, with the same Internet connection. **What can I do to resolve this?**


What is the purpose of ears in Diablo II

This is something that has always puzzled me since the release of diablo 2. What is the purpose of collecting ears? I know that if I kill someone in PvP I get an ear with their name attached to it. Do these offer any value or is it just a "treasure"?


Are there any drawbacks to mixing my armor?

I am wondering if it is okay to mix armors in the game? I mainly use heavy with a hood instead of a helmet but when doing Dark brotherhood missions I like to wear the light armor from them. Is that okay to do? Does anyone else do this? Do I need to spec into a certain armor type or can I continue to use both?


Are there any constants in Nephalem Rifts?

The new Nephalem Rift feature in RoS adds completely randomized dungeons to Diablo 3. In the few that I've done, it seems like each instance of the Rift may have some constants. For example, there seem to always be some kind of power shrine present. So far in every instance, I've found at least one treasure goblin. Also, there seem to be a very large number of elite groups. Do these things occur completely randomly or are there some things that will always be present in a Rift? If so, what are they?


Are Nephalem Rifts endless?

In the Nephalem Rift instances, players usually only play until the minion quota is met and the Rift Guardian is spawned and defeated. Afterwards, the player can talk to someone in town to initiate a countdown and closes the Rift. What happens if you never fill the minion quota and just continue running through the Rift? Or, say you kill the Rift Guardian but then continue on as opposed to returning to town and shutting the Rift? Will the Rifts go on forever or are there a set number of levels? Is there any reason or benefit to continue exploring a Rift once the Guardian is defeated?

What games and order should I play the Metal Gear series games to better understand the story?

I've watched the entirety of MGS and only played MGS2 to completion, it was a while ago, and I can't recall the story making much sense. I played the third and fourth games for a bit but never finished them. I do wish to "get" into the series, but it seems there are many games and most of them take place in different time and star different protagonists. So my questions are: Which games should I play to better understand the series? Should I play only the "Solid" titles? (i.e. skip the old MSX ones, Acid, Rising) Should I play them by the series' chronology or by their release dates? Are only the numbered games important to understand the story? (i.e. skip Peace Walker/Portable Ops) Also: Given the option, should I play Metal Gear Solid (PSX version) or the remake, The Twin Snakes? (story/continuity wise, if applicable)


How to uninstall a plugin and all its created files?

Has Shockwave range been nerfed in Mass Effect 3?

I just started playing ME3, and it appears that the cast range for Shockwave is greatly reduced. 've only played the starting mission on Earth, but it seems like I had to wait for the enemies to get much closer to use Shockwave than I did in ME2. Am I just not doing something right or has the effective range for Shockwave been nerfed?


Does the conversation with Matriarch Aethyta go the same way if you haven't watched the video archives in the Shadow Broker base?

Unfortunately, I didn't realize that there were actually _3_ sets of videos in the archives when I played through Lair of the Shadow Broker. By the time I knew, I'd already finished all of my sidequests, so I couldn't go and do a mission to trigger the 3rd set to show up. I ended up just importing my Shepard to Mass Effect 3 after having only watched 2 of the sets in the interest of time. Now, during a conversation with Matriarch Aethyta, > Shepard mentioned that she saw a video of her staring at a picture of Liara, > which prompts Aethyta to admit her parentage. Do you still find out about > Liara being Aethyta's daughter if you haven't seen this archive? Essentially, I'm wondering if I may miss other triggers based off the set of videos I missed... Is Shepard's mentioning of the video merely an added bit of flavor if you've done the DLC, or is it a needed trigger in order to find this information out at all?

How much health do sleeping monsters regain?

I know from experience (and this link) that sleeping monsters regain a portion of their missing health, so long as they aren't interrupted during their nap. Exactly how much health do sleeping monsters regain? Is it all of their health or only a small portion? I only know that it's enough to keep them from being captured if they were limping beforehand.


What do I need to change to get these Minecraft trees to grow?

In a minecraft 1.2.3 world, I have created an underground area for growing trees. The four dirt blocks you see (two on left) all can grow trees, but with the others, they never grow, even when using bone meal. ![Underground Tree Farm](http://i.stack.imgur.com/srakf.jpg) The vertical wall is six blocks high, and they all have two clear spaces beside them. The only thing is that the one dirt block you see closest is also just outside the opening of a straight and normal stairwell. Does that affect it too?


Are Oracles useful in the mid game?

I've seen Oracles being used in almost every game for early worker harass, but not as much as the game progresses into the mid/late game. Do they have other uses in the game than just harassing workers for early pressure? What tactics use Oracles?

I've completed the quest where you get blamed for the murders in Markarth - but now since the Dark Brotherhood quest where you need to kill the one informant about the chef I'm screwed because every time I go into Markarth the guards arrest me and I can't pay off my debt. If I tell the guards I want to go to jail he says "you'll never see the sun again, no one escapes sindna mines", and then the dialogue box comes up with all the options again. What should I do; never go to Markarth or just murder all the guards since I'm good at that. My debt now is probably close to 30000 coins by now. Any ideas?


Is there a way to expand my inventory?

When exploring, before I move down to the next floor I tend to run into the problem of having my inventory full, this is a bit of a pain when I use up a number of spots for healing items to be better prepared for exploring. I am wondering if there is a way to expand my inventory?


Where are the Woodflies?

in the Quest _Subduing the Woodflies_ i need to kill woodflies at a Take Spot. i would have assumed that i would get into a set encounter however i've checked the ones in A3 and B7 and neither have i faced woodflies. The only place on _Emerald Grove / B2_ that i have yet to explore is behind the door with the White Crystal in C3 however since the quest appeared before i have learned how to open those doors with the crystals i would have assumed it's doable. I am wondering, where are these wood flies i have to kill or are they behind the White Crystal Door in C3? Note: i don't want to know how to open the White Crystal door in C3


Starcraft II Email Problems

I recently had trouble with my email account, being told it was trying to be accessed by another person. I had no trouble with anything else until a week or so later when I suddenly couldn't log into to SC II. I can't submit a support ticket because I'm unable to log into to my battle.net account and I can't change anything for the same reason. Is there anything besides calling the help line to Blizzard to solve this problem?


how to unlock upgrades for the MEC soldiers

Diablo 3 Skill Progression

I don't understand how (or if) skills scale up with character level. I have two low-level characters in Diablo 3. One of the skills my Demon Hunter character uses is Withering Fire, which I like because of the reduced initial cost. Will this skill (rune) still be useful at higher levels, or will I have to use the higher rune versions later in order to match later monsters? Or will the reduced cost not be relevant later when I have enough Hatred anyway? More generally though, my question relates to using the higher level runes with skills. Is this the intention? It is expected that by level 30, I would be using skills and runes of, say, between level 25 and 30, rather than still using ones from much lower levels?


Why use Magic Weapon and Familiar over Storm Armor

So I've chosen to disable electives with my Wizard, and found MW, Familiar, and SA to be in the same category. I don't have all the runes unlocked but I am finding SA to be far better that the other two due to the massive difference in damage. So for what reason would I ever use MW or Familiar when they do around 20%, while SA does 100%?

What is up with these pigs?

I do not understand the pig dynamics in Don't Starve. I haven't really been bothered by any pigs (unless I go and attack one). But then I encountered these crazy pigs (sorry for the bad shot...I couldn't get too close!): ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/i31t3.jpg) But yet I can walk around this area all day and have no problem with pig attacks: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/O1rRm.jpg) So what's the difference? Why are the pigs in the first picture crazy and attack me on sight and the ones in the bottom picture are cool and let me wander around their area without a problem?


Is there a trick to using the air cushions in Cut the Rope?

I can't seem to get the hang of the air cushions in Cut the Rope. I must average 20 taps for each puff of air. I find levels that require multiple puffs in quick succession to be an exercise in frustration. It's usually obvious what I'm supposed to do, but actually getting the cushions to puff at the right moment is a nightmare. Am I the only one who can't seem to tap the right spot on an air cushion? Is there a way to make it easier? I'm playing on an iPhone 5, if it matters.

Can I shoot through teammates, enemies or civilians?

There are instances where a teammate could be blocking an enemy in your line of fire. I was wondering if shot bullets / projectiles can pass through teammates and hit enemies on the other side. If yes, how does the projectile penetration work? Will the impact on the first enemy hit by the projectile, lessen damage to the second enemy hit or not? Does this differ depending on the weapon or weapon mod? I also would like to know how projectile penetration for enemies and civilians (to damage other enemies or civilians) work.


Is this Evacuation level even solvable?

Playing Evacuation on my phone, I came across the following level. It's only level four, so it ought to be fairly easy. Instead, I think there might be no way to actually solve it. ![Evacuation](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tXHEZ.jpg) Bonus question: If this level can't be solved, is there any way to skip it (on the iphone version) and continue playing the game? I don't want to get stuck not being able to play, just because of one fluke level.

I've been using Roguey's map to track things down in X Rebirth, but I have no idea how to obtain the coordinates of the current location of the Albion Skunk.

Why doesn't Droggeljug like yellow broccoli?

I am playing _Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes_ and don't understand the solution to the pizza puzzle: **SPOILER WARNING** I have to make a single pizza with 4 toppings for a group of 4 uniquely "colour-blind" people. Each has their own like and dislike, and their own pair of colours that they mix up. Adrian wants tomatoes, but no blueberries.   Petra wants broccoli, but no tomatoes.   Droggeljug wants banana, but no broccoli.   Peter wants blueberries, but no banana. Adrian mixes up his reds and yellows.   Petra mixes up her yellows and greens.   Droggeljug mixes up his greens and blues.   Peter mixes up his reds and greens. We have all four toppings available, and are able to change their colour (to red, yellow, green or blue) through a process of dyeing that we shan't speak about. Bleh. I tried a few ways of reasoning through this puzzle. For example, if Adrian mixes up red and yellow, we can dye his tomatoes yellow. He'll think they're red tomatoes, and Petra won't recognise them. But none of my approaches worked as expected, so I resorted to a walkthrough that gave the following solution that I do not understand: > Adrian mixes red and yellow colors. He wants tomatoes and no blueberries on > his pizza. So he should have green tomatoes.   >  Peter mixes red and green colors. He wants blueberries and no bananas on > his pizza. Red and green makes blue. So he should have yellow blueberries.   >  Petra mixes yellow and green colors. She wants broccoli and no tomatoes on > her pizza. So she should have blue broccoli.   >  Drogglejug mixes green and blue colors. He wants bananas and no broccoli on > his pizza. So he should have red bananas. Can someone take me through the logic that arrives at this answer?

How does Snare effect work?

How does the Void Ray's Prismatic Alignment ability work with upgrades?

The void ray's new Prismatic Alignment ability increases the damage it does versus armored by 6 when used. However the ability also says "This does not scale with upgrades.". What does that mean exactly? It would stand to reason that the void ray's normal damage of 6, with the prismatic alignment ability would raise it to 6+6=12 (versus armored), and that if you upgraded one weapon level to 6+1, that prismatic alignment would be (6+1)+6=13. If this is not the case, then the ability would become **less effective** the later the game went on. Since this is not a percentage increase against armored, what does the ability mean by "does not scale with upgrades"?


How many people could you take on in a fight?

A while back I played Planetside for a time. I remember sometimes not being able to get to a particular continent because the number of players on it was too high.

Basically, what was the maximum number of people your faction could be facing in a particular battle at any time?

XPS (Extreme Memory Profile) causing Skyrim bug to speed-stutter

I just upgraded from an socket AM3 790FX X4 at 3.1GHz (max OC) to an FX8350 AM3+ / 990FX with a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard. I've kept the 2x4GB of G.Skill F3-17000CL11-4GBSR RAM from the AM3 in the AM3+ rig. It seems the faster the RAM speed is the more the Skyrim stutter bug occurs. It actually speeds up the game for I would estimate about 50-200 milliseconds so after the stutter stops if you've been running forward in the game you're several feet ahead of where you previously were. This happens about 20-40 times a _minute_. I disabled all the "Advanced CPU Features" in my bios and set the RAM to 1333MHz. After narrowing down what features did or did not effect the game play I've determined that the speed of the RAM itself has been causing the problems. The bios RAM speed without XPS (Extreme Memory Profile) only boots up to 1,600MHz. To get to the full 2,133MHz I have to use either XPS profile. However even at 1,600MHz I've noticed the stuttering bug perhaps once every few minutes so I can't say it's explicitly the XPS. Unfortunately I can't seem to find anything even remotely close to being on- topic any where after a lot of searching. Yes, I've reinstalled the game and yes this bug occurs even in the menus and loading screen so saved games themselves are not the issue. After saving a game with the bug, setting the RAM to normal speed the bug is not "inherited" through the saved game. Besides the CPU and motherboard upgrade the rest of my system specs can be found here... http://www.jabcreations.com/gamer/johns-computer


What is a Queen Vampire doing in my fortress?

This is the first time my fortress was promoted to Mountainhome before flooding with water, lava or HFS, so I don't know if this is expected. I got a message that the King had arrived with his entourage. Checking the Nobles screen, I see: > Dodók Kûbukthabum, **queen vampire**   >  ...   >  One Hundred Ninety-Six Kills   >  Eighty-eight dwarves in Scorchedtraded   >  Ninety-four dwarves in Scorchedtraded   >  ... When possible, she prefers to consume giant jackal.   >  ... She has a shortage of patience. Should I worry? If she was a real vampire, she wouldn't be bragging about it and put "Vampire" in her title, right? If she _is_ a vampire and I kill her, will I get a new king/queen? Edit: Also, she has the scary `Ñ` symbol but is still friendly. So I suppose she's a normal vampire-turned-politician?


Is there a second encounter with Trevor's Mother?

So I found the Deludamol Van outside a hospital in LS, drove it back to Trevor's house for her mother but her mother isn't there anymore.

Has anyone else built Temporary Levels?

I have 3 levels named "temporary". I have seen the locked levels, like many posters here. I have been waiting for them to become available. I have built every level and unlocked every scene. Every once in a while, I just try to "Add Level" and touch each type of level, hoping new levels would become available. I had several million credits, and one day (around March 14) it just started allowing me to build levels. Now they are built and they do nothing. They all have the same generic "Death Star corridor" sort of look. They all say "Temporary" in green. I put one workers on each level, and it allows me to build 10 units. It takes about 1 minute to stock product and one minute to sell out. Am I the only one? Can I post a picture of what I have so people believe me? I have millions more credits, and it will allow me to build more levels, but I don't dare to because I don't know what will happen with these temporary levels.


What influences a change of Meta?

I've been wondering what influences a change of meta. Im in understanding that the current,optimal team comp is solo/duo top (bruiser or tank),solo mid (ad or ap mid) ,duo bot (support and adc) and sometimes a jungler. Yet im also aware that it used to be recommended at most times that the adc go lane mid. So this has plucked up the question what leads to a change in the official meta? Is it influenced by the community's preference, where riot decides to adjust the meta to Lol population's liking? Or do we adjust ourselves accordingly to how riot introduces lane partners which can be examined through how they organise the opposing bot champions


If you volunteer recycling trucks to another city, does your city have to process the recyclables?

In one of my regions, I have a large city surrounded and supported by several smaller cities. Many of which do not have recycling centers, but have an educated enough populace to start recycling. I have volunteered a few vehicles around the region to pick up their recycling and reduce their garbage load. What I want to know is... **Is the recycling that I am picking up in other cities actually coming back to my city for processing?** If it is, it seems like a great way to make a profit by collecting more recyclables, and then selling the plastic, metal, and alloy on the market. However, the recycling center does not have much storage, so it would seem that it would fill up pretty quickly if it were actually taking in all this stuff.

Does a kill within 10 seconds of a Twisted Fate ultimate give him an assist?

An assist is scored "by hitting the champion in the last 10 seconds before his death, or by contributing passively during this period of time."

Is it safe to leave my character idling if I suddenly have to go?

Alternatively, can I use my town portal and idle there? What happens when I teleport back? Do the monsters respawn?

How can I pull off a Bank Heist without the cops getting involved?


Does Modern Warfare 3 use dedicated servers on the PC?

Does the multiplayer mode of the PC version of _Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3_ use dedicated servers? As an extra, is there a site that lists all the _MW3_ server providers approved by Activision for each region? I remember such a list existed for Black Ops even before it launched, and people could even request additional servers for their region. Again, talking about the PC version. _The reason I ask is that I had serious lag problems with Black Ops. I eventually tracked the problem to the fact that all servers in my region were from the same provider, and that was the only approved provider._

The Guessing Game achievement is for completing the following; > **Guessing Game**   >  On day 2 of the Firestarter job, complete the heist in stealth without > hacking the computer Since the PC version of Payday 2 gets all the fancy updates which changes the way that a large number of skills work, many of the guides explaining how to complete the Guessing Game achievement no longer correctly represent the state of the game and show one person walking around the FBI building dominating all of the guards, or following the guards around at close range without alerting them. The sort of information that I need to know is as follows;   * What sort of skillset is going to be required to complete this achievement? (I'm assuming at least the **Smooth Talker** ability and maybe a couple of people with the **Dominator** ability?)   * Where are the possible spawn points for the control boxes containing the wires that have to be cut?   * Is the wire you need to cut actually completely random or is there a particular methodology to choosing the right one? How can you complete the guessing game achievement on PC?


Can you arrange which troops will be used for a specific battle?

I am stuck on a specific battle in _HISTORY Great Battles Medieval_ on the English Campaign. It is for the **Perigod Province** and the specific mission is **Night Attack** , but it also has Assassinate Napoleon and Surrounded stacked up below that, which apparently I can't play until I beat this one. This particular mission is one where your troops are scattered between a bunch of tents with enemy troops immediately surrounding you. It also doesn't give you _all_ the troops you have recruited. The problem I'm having is it keeps giving me a bunch of archers up near the top where they have some very strong swordsman, and all the archers inevitably fall there. All the archers all over the place also block in all my fighting troops which can only fight in hand- to-hand combat, as the tents all over the place prevent me from getting them out. That being said, is it possible for me to reorganize my troops so I can have something useful at the start rather than a bunch of archers, or can I cycle through to other battles for this location rather than playing Night Attack? This seems like a lost cause at the moment and I really need some extra gold to train up some more troops for the next story mission.


Why won't my squads patrol my patrol route?

I've just set up my first patrol route but I'm having trouble getting my dwarves to patrol it. It is a simple two waypoint route across the top of my realm but squads assigned to patrol it just go to the second waypoint and stand there. Do I need to do something special to get them to walk back and forth? What else could be wrong?

Can you complete Oblivion Walker if you've sold, misplaced, or otherwise no longer have some Artifacts?

The definition for the "Oblivion Walker" achievement is "Collect 15 Daedric Artifacts". However, this does not specify whether the player must simultaneously own all 15, or if they must simply at one point in the game have collected them. For example, let's say I've completed The Whispering Door and obtained the Ebony Blade. Later on, not thinking of this achievement's requirements, I decide to sell or otherwise dispose of the artifact, in a way which causes it to be non-recoverable to me. Can I still gain the achievement if I go on to collect the rest of the artifacts?

Easiest way to get mounts / maximize a monetary investment in LoTRO without sustaining a subscription?

I have several Lord of the Rings Online accounts wherein my children and I play together. My kids have been beating me up for mounts as a Christmas gift so that we can get around more easily and I'm trying to figure out the most "cost effective" path to take here in order to achieve this goal. I'm not afraid of spending some money, but I simply cannot see getting stuck, long term, with a monthly bill for this for so many accounts. I wouldn't mind a one off monthly fee to maximize our gaming experience, nor perhaps a one off expense at acquiring the mounts, however I'm just not sure of the most effective path to follow here. Further, some of the solutions that I've researched seem a bit dated and I've not found any real clear recent path in these regards. Could someone provide the best bang for the buck option in this regard with LoTRO?


Does "Holy Cause" only work if my equipped Weapon deals Holy Damage?

I am talking about this passive skill: ![screenshot of skill in question](http://i.stack.imgur.com/nkkHY.png) Judging from the description, it should increase my weapon damage by 10%, no matter which weapon I wield. The heal should only happen if my weapon has a holy damage modifier, but should still proc when I use skills that deal holy. However, in this discussion on the battle.net forums, people claim it only works at all if you have holy damage on your weapon. Can someone clarify this please?


Sims 3: How can you maximize profits from fish?

A detailed query for the statistically inclined! If one of your household Sims is an Angler, how can you maximize profit from the fish? I noticed at least 4 different ways fish can be sold, and I'm wondering whether cooking Angelfish, for example, can get profit somehow? **_[Question 1]_** **Can a good cook sell Perfect cooked meals at the consignment store or grocery store or some other way?** It seems that the least profitable way to sell is the inventory selling of the "drag here to sell" functionality (method 1); but I'm wondering, **_[Question 2]_** **what is more profitable** : selling the fish raw at the consignment store (method 2), sending the fish first to get mounted then selling the mounted fish at the consignment store (method 3), or selling the fish raw at the grocery store (method 4), which _seems_ that it could be the most profitable method, but that's a personal and not statistical impression? I would be most impressed and grateful if you supplement your answer with **_[Question 3]_** **information that takes into account the _weight_ , _type_** (Salmon, Shark, etc.) **and _quality_** (Excellent, Perfect, etc.) **of the fish**. For example, is the price of the mounted fish sold at the consignment store affected only by the weight of the fish regardless to quality, or does quality affect the price there too? Would a _mounted heavy Perfect shark_ sell for more at the consignment store or sell for more if it is sold raw at the grocery store? Should I sell traditionally eaten fish, like Salmon, at the grocery store, and traditionally prized fish like trophy mounted sharks at the consigment store; or does the game not really go that deep and meaningful when it comes to numbers and profit? Thank you.


Is there a way to transfer a free game downloaded on one Steam account to another?

I downloaded Team Fortress 2 for free yesterday off Steam. I used my account to download it. My brother has set up his own now and would like to play TF2 on his, that way we could also have separate profiles and scores. I don't want to re-download TF2 because we don't have much bandwidth. Is there a way to transfer the whole game over to his account?


Is there any extra benefit from making payments before Nova requests one?

The game will interrupt you to make debt payments at various intervals. But it will not bug you until you are holding the original interval in your wallet. For example, if the full payment is 10,000 gald and you pay 1,000, the new amount due is 9,000. In this case, the game would not ask for payment until a full 10,000 debt was reached again. If I make a full payment before I actually reach the next interval is there any tangible benefit or reward (i.e. If the interval is 10,000 but I pay a full 10,000 before ever having over 10,000 gald in my wallet at one time)?


How do I figure out which ? Bitizen I am seeing?

I'll admit it, I'm not really much of a Star Wars fanatic, and as such, I have trouble naming even the supposedly "simplest" bitizens in Tiny Death Star. As such, when a ? bitizen appears, I have immense trouble figuring out the name of the bitizen so I can at least see if I have any floors I can get unique scenes with. Is there a guide that lists the picture of the bitizen along with the name of it? The only "real" characters I know are Boba Fett, the guy with the green suit. Right now I'm kinda stuck; I have a character with a brown hood and yellow glowing eyes, and I have no clue what his/her/it name is.

Mouse sensitivity in Fallout 3 menus too high

I'm trying to lower the mouse sensitivity in Fallout 3 to an acceptable level. I have done the following changes to my `fallout.ini` file:               ForegroundMouseAccelBase=0     fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0     fForegroundMouseBase=0     fForegroundMouseMult=0       The only thing I can find that regards the sensitivity is `fMouseSensitivity`, found in `falloutprefs.ini`. Changing this seems to make no difference to the menu sensitivity. Anyone know what I need to change?

Missables in Demon's Souls

Are there any items I should be looking out for before I lose the chance to get it? I've read about how there are no missables on this game because everything is available again at NG+, but what about the first game iteration? I haven't played much yet, cleared the first boss in world 1 (Boletarian Palace), and I'm playing world 2 (Stonefang Tunnel) now. There's a part of world 2 where there's a fireball throwing enemy behind a bridge that collapses if you try to walk over it. After the bridge collapsed, even after I 'reloaded' the map by going back to the nexus, it is still collapsed. There's an item right beside that enemy that I can never reach because of this.

Why do characters keep talking after dying, and how do I fix it?

Ever since I killed a certain character, people have been talking after dying. Context: > So... I walked into the Emperor's room aboard the Katariah, expecting a > full-on fight with the guards, some agents, and the man himself. Instead I > found the Emperor telling me calmly to kill him. He was, in my opinion, > quite rude about it indeed – kept going on about how he didn't have all day > and whatnot, didn't notice that I was busy looting his chests. In any case, > I wanted it to look better than "walk up to him and stab him in the face," > so I drank my invisibility potion, walked up behind him, and backstabbed > him. I got my epic animation, but... to my surprise, as I was about to leave > the room, I see in the subtitles, "Go on, I'm not going to fight you." This > remained even as I jumped up and down on his dead body, dragged it across > the floor, lit it on fire, etc. The body only stopped talking when I left the room, so it wasn't exactly a persistent problem, but I have had the same issue ever since; people I brutally murder like to talk back to me after they're dead. If anyone else has had this issue, how can I fix it?


Attacking with shields? Who does that?

I recently found out that if equipped in right hand slot, shield can be uesd as a weapon. It deals much lower damage and attack is pretty slow. The only case I think this could be useful is if all other weapons suddenly break and are no longer usable without repair. But I just started, so I don't know much. Is there some benefit to attacking with shields? Maybe there is some specific shield that is particularly good in role of a main weapon?

How effective is fake baneling burrowing at baiting scans?

Often you'll see Zerg players in ZvT burrow banelings next to marines and try to bait marines into them with mutas. But the Terran player seems to occasionally scans the area to check for burrowed banelings. Since the mutas bait out the scan anyways, how viable is a technique to bluff burrowed banelings and bait more scans that end up being useless?

How do I read the kill icons in League of Legends?

The new League of Legends patch (1.42.34) added in a "Kill Stream" (as well as a lot of other neat UI cleanups. It looks very pretty now, but I digress...) in addition to the announcements of "So and so has slain such and such" etc. There appear to be at least three separate kill icons - A blue fireball, a yellow sword, pointing downwards, and a red sword, pointed right. What do each of these kill icons represent?


Where to find the amount of mulch I have?

How can I tell how much mulch I have? When I go to plant a berry it asks me if I want to use a mulch, but I'm not sure how to tell what I currently have. I've looked in the bags and I don't see it listed in any of the categories. The problem is, I want to add mulch to all spots but I need to know how much I have to make in the composters.


How can I increase my elemental resistances

I know that the _intelligence_ stat increases elemental resistance. So casters seem to have a nice advantage there. But what about the other classes? My friend is playing a Monk and while he has good defense, elemental attacks really kill him fast (late Normal, early Nightmare difficulty). So the question is: What are the ways to obtain elemental resistances other than having to look for `+Intelligence` items?

Sometimes I want to buy some games on Steam, but certain games are not available in my country. Is there any particular reasoning for certain games being unavailable? I get that's not Steam's fault, and it's probably on behalf of the publisher, but I want to purchase for the game. As I live in Uruguay there's not normally the option to purchase a game in a store, so is not an issue of different publishers for different zones (yes, I could always import the game myself, but then I have to pay an import rate of 60% of the CIF value, which I see as prohibitive). We also don't have restrictive laws about violence in video games like some countries (such as Australia or Germany). Also, some of the involved games are completely family safe (as Civilization IV a few years ago). I can always get a gift, but that requires trusting or getting trust from some unknown individual (I have done it), and requires some effort. It also could break the Steam user agreement, and that is something I don't want to do. As a specific example, Grand Theft Auto IV was not available to purchase on Steam in my country, but I am able to purchase Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City. Why are some games unavailable in some regions?


Alien Swarm: how should we go about Oustanding Execution?

I've got most Alien Swarm achievements under my belt. In fact I'm missing:   1. SynTek residential speed run (time limit on a map)   2. Nuke from orbit (kill 100,000 swarm)   3. Outstanding execution (complete the entire campaign without anyone dying) Nuke from orbit is basically easy (dunno if I'll even try though), and I'm sure the speed run can be done with some practice. I'm sure Outstanding execution would eventually come by just grinding, but seriously, that's a **lot** of work. But it's the achievement that I want most (after Hardcore, which I already got). I think the main problem is stupid deaths. The friends that I'm playing with can handle themselves, same as I. We usually play hardcore friendly fire so we've learned not to kill each other (except the occasional panic), and we rarely play below hard onslaught at all. So the basic potential should exist, but I just don't think we'll manage a full campaign even on normal difficulty by playing the usual way. Yes, we've briefly tried on a couple of occasions. What advice would you give?

Dragon Age 2 - What to do with Bethany?

Hi I've finished the game once already as a mage, and have restarted as a warrior. I was wondering what I should build Bethany towards being.

If I presume that Anders will be a healer and Merrill will be my hexer/damage dealer, what do I do with Bethany?

Borderlands 2 silently quits after pressing "play" in launcher

I have two installations of Borderlands on different PCs. On first one everything gone without problems at all, but on the second one game just silently closes without any messages when I click play in launcher. Trying to go into game directly with `-NoLauncher` doesn't help either. I tried reinstalling .NET, reinstalling MSVC runtime, reinstalling video drivers,providing file with Steam app ID, completely reinstalling game, copying complete installation from one PC to another - nothing helped. Process briefly appears in taskbar and task manager and then disappears again in a few seconds. Also it seems that there's no error logs in pretty much anywhere I could think of checking, including same location where I see startup logs for successful installation on first PC. Pretty much every other game runs fine and this is not video card problem either, as exactly same VGA that is now installed in second PC was in first one just a few weeks ago and I did run Borderlands 2 on it successfully. The only difference I can name is amount of available memory and that second PC have 32-bit system. How can I successfully run game or at least track what exactly is causing problem?

Most effective path (tower defense maps)

I'm playing a SC2 "tower-defense"-like map, and need to find out how to build walls efficiently, so that units stay longer on the map and take more damage. The map looks like this: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/dJGlp.png) The most common strategy is to build your wall around a turning point (the red arrow). This seems to give you the ability to deal a lot of damage and a decent time advantage. But how can I increase that time, by building two spirals, around two turning points, and make it so the unit has to pass one of them 2 times in order to get to the end? I know it's possible, I've seen it in another map, but can't remember how. :(


Was Dreamfall: The Longest Journey removed from Xbox 360 in UK/EU markets?

I recently bought a new Xbox 360 and recovered my profile. I started downloading games I hadn't finished before I traded my last console. One of them was Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. When I tried to download it, an error code came up in Xbox live. I then proceeded to log in to the xbox.com site and attempted to add the title to my download list. That came back with an error saying "Not available in your region". I've been away from Xbox Live a while. Have they begun to remove games from their catalogue? Is there any way I can get this game on my Xbox other than purchasing it again? I really wanted to finish it. Edit: I'm in the UK

This seems important because if the effect is really bad, then I want to stay well away from it. On the other hand, it's fairly tedious to constantly be calculating 30% of 226, or whatever my current Psi rating is, by hand...


Is higher weapon speed better, or lower?

Melee weapons have two stats: _Damage per swing_ and _Swing speed_. The meaning of _damage per swing_ is fairly obvious, but what does _swing speed_ measure? Is it time/swing (so a lower value is better), or swings/time (a higher value is better)?


Minecraft hunger increasing (bar decreasing) whilst AFK

I've found since the release of Minecraft 1.7, that my hunger bar decreases whilst I'm AFK on my private vanilla server. The wiki page shows a list of actions (e.g walking, running, jumping, etc) that will increase hunger and states that hunger shouldn't increase when not performing these actions. I've played on three different PCs on my own vanilla server, and I have the problem on every system. Difficulty is on easy, yet I'm loosing one drumstick from my food bar every 20 seconds. Have I stumbled on a bug, or am I missing something else?
