Should a Freezing Trap return a stolen minion to my hand?

I had a Freezing Trap in play and my opponent stole a minion (Scavenging Hyena) from me with Mind Control. He attacked me with the stolen minion and the minion was returned to my opponent's hand. I expected the minion to be returned to my hand, because I thought that I'm the owner of the minion (that would match the rules of Magic the Gathering). So my question is now, what is an owner in Hearthstone? Is it similar to MTG? Is this a bug in heartstone? The description for Sap explicitly states that the minion gets returned to my opponent's hand, while Freezing Trap says it is returned to the owner's hand. > Freezing Trap: When an enemy minion attacks, return it to its owner's hand > and it costs (2) more > Mind Control: Take control of an enemy minion > Sap: Return an enemy minion to your opponent's hand


Why do my spells toss enemies around, and how can I prevent that?

Is it normal that my spells (like Fireball or Flash), at level adept, toss the enemies around like hell? If I fire one of those spells on them the enemies will be thrown like 10 meters away. It looks weird and also makes looting sometimes kind of hard. Now I wonder if this is normal or if one of the mods I installed is responsible for this. All mods I've installed are just for graphical purposes, though, like textures and stuff.

I teleported too high on my Minecraft server

My friends own a Minecraft server and I was playing around with commands when I teleported to y 100000000000000000000000000000000 just because I wanted to see how high maps could go. That was a big mistake. Now every time I go on the server I crash. I don't have access to the server files and I don't have the owner's email or phone number or anything and I'm the only one that plays on the server. I know that one solution is to make a new Minecraft character but that would involve me to pay. Is there some way I can delete my player information or change the location without access to the server files? I don't want to leave the server because I've been building a castle for 3 months now and I don't want to give up that easy.


How to ensure that demesne holding are not lost on succession?

Basically when ruling, it always says titles lost on succession. I am wondering how exactly you can ensure not losing demesne titles upon death, so that the heir to the kingdom keeps the same demesne holdings as his father did?


How can I see who owns a particular Xbox game?

For example, I want to buy Portal 2. When I look up Portal 2 on Steam, it tells me which of my friends already own it, which is tremendously helpful. As far as I can tell, there's no easy way to do that on Xbox.com. I've noticed that you can see game activity by going to http://live.xbox.com/en-US/Activity/Details?titleId=xxxxxxxxxx where the Xs represent a title ID. There isn't any easy way to look that title ID up either. Here is the link to Portal 2: https://live.xbox.com/en- US/Activity/Details?titleId=1161890066. I can't seem to go there unless I own the game, which kind of defeats the purpose. Even weirder: When I am on the Social page on Xbox.com I can see my friends' activity and click on a game I don't own to see who does own it. That's exactly what I want to accomplish but it only seems to work with games popular enough to make that list. I feel like this may need a custom-coded solution (maybe a Chrome add-in or a Greasemonkey script) and unfortunately it'd be pretty far down on my to-do list. Does anyone else have any ideas?


Mods to install before starting Fallout New Vegas

Units don't move until end of turn

This has been really frustrating for me: My units don't actually move when I release the right mouse button, but when I end the turn. (If I tell a unit to automate its movement, it moves _during_ my turn.) How do I get them to actually move when I tell them to? This makes attacking enemy units incredibly difficult because my units just move onto the tiles as they move away!

How do I install patches to Battlefield 1942 if it's on my external hard drive?

Overwriting a key binding profile with WoW add-on Binder

I am using Binder which is available here: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/binder/ My problem is, sometimes I update key bindings. I cannot seem to find a way to update a profile to use my new keybinding. If I hit `apply` on an existing key binding profile, it doesn't save/update, it merely loads the profile in the state it was created in. Is there a solution to updating an existing profile if I add new key binds using Binder? If there isn't, is there a better add-on for managing different keybindings? I like to switch binds depending on what spec I am playing for my character. Usually there is a PvP spec and a PvE spec.


Does LFR loot in Mists account for a role/spec mismatch?

In Mists of Pandaria LFR, loot is won individually and rewarded according to spec. However, what happens if I queue as a healer, and participate in the kill as DPS? For example: I'm a druid with a Feral and Resto spec. I queue as a healer (presumably to get a shorter queue time), but I kill the boss doing DPS in my Feral spec. This being LFR, the other 5 healers have no issue making up for my lack of healing (provided they are not doing the same thing I am). Assuming the relevant items on the boss loot table are leather agility wrists and a spirit ring, will I be awarded the wrists or the ring?


How can I tell when I've completed a major Quest (the kind I can start a game from)?

How do I bait a Walrus? (Or other large mammal)

I'm having fun playing dwarf fortress (Not _that_ kind of fun. At least, not yet) in a Taiga / Arctic ocean biome, and I notice that every now and again, I get a pack of 2-3 walruses showing up on my map. This generated a single happy thought: tame walruses. War Walruses, even. I looked up on the Dwarf Fortress wiki on how to capture live animals, and everything pointed to cage traps. Two questions: a) My Taiga / Tundra / Ocean map is heavy on the open spaces. Is there any trick to "baiting" my cage traps such that I can increase the likelyhood that a walrus stumbles into it? b) if cage traps are the only way to capture a live animal, what does the "capture live land animal" task at the butcher's shop actually do?

How does the "VOIP Ducking" feature in Guild Wars 2 work?

In Guild Wars 2's audio options, there is a "VOIP Ducking" slider. Presumably this option reduces the in-game volume when you are using voice chat, but GW2 doesn't have any in-game voice chat. According to the wiki, this slider is supposed to work for third-party programs, but I haven't noticed this happening when using TeamSpeak 3. What programs are supported? Do I need to configure anything in my VOIP application or in GW2 for this to work?

What is the maximum number of permanent occupants in a Heathfire house?

Lets say you have a fully furnished house for Hearthfire. What is the maximum number of Occupants that stay there permanently, and what I mean by that is NPC's who stay there regardless if your there or not (also ones that are not following you). From what I can tell you can have two total:   1. Whatever Housecarl they appoint to you (IE Valdimir/Gregory/Raayya)   2. Your Steward (whomever you appoint) So ideally they will stay there and guard the place, when they are not ordered to follow you. Is there any others? Like what about a pet (like one of the huskies you can get as a follower)

Can anyone give me some tips for Super Street Figher 4 on 3DS?

No matter which character I pick (Arcade Mode), I can never get past the 3rd challenger. I feel like I must be missing some major element that is causing me to just always lose. I block, I attack, I use combos... maybe I just need practice but, this is either very unbalanced or I just suck. Is there some strategy, techniques, secrets, good approach, mindset? ANYTHING you can share that might help? It's really awesome but the fun fades quickly if I can't progress.

Is there a way to NOT share gaming statistics with friends on Steam?

I really like how I can jump into the same game / server as my friend is currently playing on Steam, so I definitely like the "friends" feature. However, I dislike the fact that steam exposes my entire gaming history to all my friends - for example, the amount of hours I spent with each of my games. I tried searching but could not find how to prevent it, is there a way?

How do you recover after a coaster crash in Roller Coaster Tycoon?

I realize this is an old game, but it's fun to pull out every once in awhile. However, I've found that I never make it very far into the game because I'll end up crashing one or more roller coasters on a particular level. It doesn't seem to be avoidable. The crashes just happen eventually, even if your maintenance worker is checking it every 10 minutes. Every time this has happened, I can't recover or re-open the coaster after it's fixed. All I can do is delete the entire roller coaster, which can be costly and very annoying. Is there any way (without using a cheat) to avoid the crash or recover after it?


"Office Workers Demand More Parking" in SimTower

Here's another old game I've never quite mastered. In Sim Tower, I can always make it almost to the end, but I trip at the finish line. Once I reach 5 star status, I keep increasing my population and buy the cathedral on the roof like you're supposed to. I get as much parking as I'm allowed (it eventually tells you cannot build any more of the item). And, even if I delete all of my offices (or at least most of them), I get the message that the office workers demand more parking. And, as long as I have that complaint, it won't upgrade me to "Tower" status. Am I missing a key strategy? Or is this just a bug? If it's a bug, is there any patch for it?


Do I have to monitor the junk that fills in empty space?

When there's not enough room in a zoned area to put up a building, it gets filled with a random piece of "junk" instead. This is most obvious in industrial zones because they tend to have larger space requirements, but it happens in residential areas too. Sometimes I see junk appear in areas that actually can hold buildings, as proven after I delete the junk and a building later appears. Other times, the junk comes back and I have to delete it again a few times before something finally builds. Finally, should a building get bulldozed or replaced, deleting junk seems to have an effect on where any replacement building appears. Does the game ever proactively delete junk when it comes to constructing new buildings, or do I have to constantly delete it myself?

Does the order in which you finish Broken Age (Act I) affects the ending?

Again, I must stress, severe "Broken Age" spoilers. I've finished Broken Age (Act I) by first playing with Vella, switching to Shay near the end, and after finishing with Shay - getting back to the last few puzzles with Vella. > When I've finished with Shay - the game ended with Shay fainting on the > outside of the ship. When I've finished with Vella - the game ended with > Vella fainting on the beach, and then meeting Shay and 'switching places' > with him. If I would've finished the game with Vella - would the game ended > with her fainting, and the final sequence appearing only after I've finished > with Shay? Would the final sequence be different in any way? (Just to be clear - this is the ending sequence I've seen)


Will items dropped on the ground ever disappear?

With the thieves guild missions to steal X amount worth of items from Y I find myself with a lot of useless items that aren't even worth selling. So usually I just stop and drop everything on the ground. Unfortunately this means that Riften now has random piles of plates and goblets and other random garbage everywhere. I guess they don't have sanitation workers in Skyrim. Will these items eventually disappear or will I have to do a special theif "mission" to steal all the garbage off the ground and dump it in a container?


Is this Fireplace Safe?

I built a wood house that I'm rather proud of. I've built a fireplace that seem safe, but I don't want to risk burning my house down. I've seen plenty of tutorials online for making safe fireplaces, but most of them are more than 1 year old, and possibly obsolete. I tried reading the Minecraft Wiki article on fire, but it gets pretty wordy and difficult to understand. Is the fireplace pictured below safe? View from inside.

Stuck on team selection screen

While playing CS:GO, I found that for some reason I would get stuck on the pick your team screen. I could even hear the game going on and it's not like everything froze (I could still move my mouse and it would highlight over the possible choices). Sometimes it stays like that for nearly an entire game and then randomly drops me on one of the teams. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution?


How can I define keybinds for the buy-screen?

I'd like to define keys for frequently used items on the buy-screen, like kevlar, helm, M4A1, AK47, Deagle, etc. On CS:S and CS1.6 I could define those only by manually editing some configuration file. How can I accomplish that on CS:GO?


How long before a wooden crate respawns?

In Tomb Raider multiplayer, wooden crates spawn at set locations in each map. They are beneficial because they replenish explosives ammo, unlike normal ammo boxes. After breaking one, another one does not immediately respawn, but after a certain amount of time. How much time passes before another one respawns (i.e., before I should bother checking to see if it has respawned)? If the question is considered too related, it can be merged with Where are the wooden crates in each map?.


What is the best strategy for Jewels?

I have been playing _Jewels_ in my phone and I am wondering about which one is the best strategy to follow to achieve the best score posible in a normal game I have the following hypothesis:   * try to get rid of jewels from the bottom of the screen first: This could generate more chain reactions since more parts of the board are affected, but could destroy existing opportunities. it also puts more 'entropy' into the board so it may be more difficult to run out of moves   * try to get rid of jewels from the top of the screen first: this would prevent the destruction of opportunities, so I can get groups in the top and then in the bottom, but the effects of the changes are not so great so there is less chance for chain reactions. also I might run out of moves faster. these are the most obvious ones. but is there any way to tell which one is better. Also, I know we can come up with some complex algorithm to achieve better results. Let's keep it simple and imagine that I will only plan one move at a time.


Command Block always activates Comparator

I am trying to do something with command blocks. I have it test for a player at a certain position. I have set up a hopper clock that activates a command block with               /testfor @a[x=-611,y=80,z=714]      For some reason, no matter where i stand, the command block will always produce a redstone signal. Even though when I check the "last output" it says that the player can't be found. I think I figured it out, the redstone comparator is picking up a signal from the block like its a regular block, but I do not know how to fix this.

How can I make a new home base?

I came home to the base at the church one day to find several NPCs arguing over whether to move to a new base or not. After that cutscene ended, I opened a dialogue with one of them, where I had the option to ask him to come and look for new home bases with me. He said he had a specific place in mind. So we went out and found this place, went inside, looked around, until I got the "potential home base cleared" message. I have the required amount of materials and people in my group to build the new base. However, when I press down on the D-Pad, I only get the option to make this base an outpost, not a new home. I have around 150 influence. Is the issue that I need more influence? Or does it need to be an outpost before it becomes a home? Or is it something else?

Can I escape Kerbin's gravitational pull?

In _Kerbal Space Program_ , I finally managed to build a rocket that would actually do something other than explode on the launch pad. So far I've been fairly consistent in making it into orbit. Sadly, I eventually get pulled back down to earth. I suppose I should have used a parachute in preparation for that... R.I.P. Bill Kerman... Anyway, I'd really like to just let them drift off into space. Maybe find a wormhole or something and end up on a planet taken over by apes. **Can I escape Kerbin's gravity? If so, at what height?**


I don't understand gavelkind

I'm confused on how exactly is gavelkind succession supposed to work. All I've read (e.g. Crusader Kings 2 Succession Laws – Explained says that the highest titles I have will be split between my heirs. But that's not what I'm seeing. Currently, I'm the king of Bohemia, Germany, Bavaria, Italy, Sicily, Norway and Lithuania and all of them are Agnatic-Cognatic Gavelkind. I'm also vassal of the Holy Roman Emperor and I have two sons (both are young and neither of them is a bishop). If I make Germany my primary title, the game warns me that I will lose one Duchy and one County (both de facto belong to the Kingdom of Germany) to my second son on succession. If I change my primary title to Italy, the warning goes away. Because of this, it seems to me the explanations I've read are wrong: According to them, I (as the first son) should keep the primary title (say, King of Germany) and my second son should get at least some of my other kingdoms. Did I misunderstand the articles I've read? Are they wrong? Or is my game bugged?

Can you use single characters in the Toy Box, even if you don't have the correct play set?

If I purchase a single character when I don't own the play set that character belongs to (for example, if I purchase Francesco but not the Cars 2 play set), can I use that character in the Toy Box? Or are you forced to always purchase the Play Set first, before any of the single characters?


Stealth bombers range and visibility

There seems to be either a misprint or error regarding the range on the stealth bomber in the Wiki as well as the in game info, which both state it is 20. Yet, when sitting in my city the visual range is only 6. Seems odd that it has a stated range of 20, yet I can't hit anything that far out as it is not visible.


If I trade a pokemon and received it back from that trainer, is it still a "traded pokemon"?

Traded Pokemon act different; you can't change their name, they get more experience etc. In the old days, if I recall correctly, trading once meant that pokemon was always "traded", even if your trainer ID matched the pokemon's owner ID. Is that still the case in Fourth Gen? I've got some pokemon in Diamond I sort of want to give to HeartGold but I'm wondering if they'd be considered "traded" forever.


Can the PS3 read any other filesystem than FAT32 for external drives?

I'm reformatting my biggest USB hard drive today. It seems like filesystem support for gaming systems is kind of in a bad place right now -- it looks like both the PS3 and the 360 both only support FAT or FAT32, but both those systems have a 4GB file size cap. I'd like to use the drive for media files (to watch on the gaming systems), but also for computer backups, including some Linux OS ISOs that are bigger than 4GB. Do I have no other options?


No video for intro movies in The Guild 2

I recently bought The Guild 2 from Steam. The game seems to function fine, but during the intro all I get is a black screen with the sound of the intro movies. Pressing `Esc` does get me to the Main Menu. My system specs:   * Windows 7 64 bit.   * Core 2 Quad.   * NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS How can I fix this issue?


How do I defeat Sentrobes?

In a room in Lanayru Mining Facility, I get attacked by a Sentrobe: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/p1921.png) He shoots missiles at me, as well as two flying bombs. **Can I defeat it?** I see a targeting arrow over him, but he's always out of reach. Right now my strategy is to serpentine, hoping not to get hit as I cross the room. It's not working out too well.


What's the use of the Mzulft Room Key?

How do I defeat Beamos?

I'm wandering around, lost, in Lanayru Mining Facility. As I was blundering about, I took a (horizontal) swipe at a Beamos and surprisingly, did some damage. I've also noticed that a targeting arrow appears when I get close. **Can I kill these guys?** If so, how? ![Beamos, from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YHRKl.png)


How is the duration of effects measured in Skyrim?

Potions and certain items grant benefits like enhancing smithing or having increased health generation for a certain duration. How is this time measured? Is this clock time or in-game time? Does time spent in menus count against the given time?


The meaning of Bejeweled ranks

A short time ago, a html5 version of Bejeweled was released as a google-chrome addon. By scoring in this game, you can gain ranks. Does anybody know if this ranks do anything? By what I experienced, they don't seem to affect the gameplay or any features of the game. I kept playing for some time out of curiosity, but I did not find out anything about them.


Is Nabaat a good final choice for a SAB?

I'm toying with the decision to purchase and recruit Nabaat for my SAB role. I prefer to have 'character' members as opposed to monster members, but it is somehow difficult to find much information about how good she is compared with other top SAB types. Her Feral Link sounds quite good, but again it is hard to find any hard facts about how much damage one can expect to achieve. Is it possible to infuse her to being one of the best SABs with any success? Or is it a waste of time and money?


Is there a way to get more than one thing to download at once?

I bought the Telltale Complete Pack from Steam, and while I realize downloading it all at once would probably make my computer implode and pretty much kill my internet forever, I want to at least download more than one thing at a time (or at the very least, make sure it downloads each game I bought, in sequence or something). Is there a way to do that in Steam?

Is it worth it to remove Item Modifications?

In SWTOR you can put various modifications into various items that you wear/use -- and you can remove these and put new ones in, at a charge. Is it worth it to remove them and sell them, if you're not planning on reusing the items (obviously if you intend t reuse them, it makes sense)? Or will the cost to remove them always be greater than the amount earned by selling them?

What are the conditions for getting a MVP award after a battle?

In _Final Fantasy Tactics A2_ , after a battle there is a chance for one of your characters that participated to get a MVP award. ![MVP Award After Battle](http://i.stack.imgur.com/SdJhp.png) The MVP status seems to fill up a "trophy" bar next to their stats on the character menu: ![Character Status Screen](http://i.stack.imgur.com/V9q1B.jpg) When the MVP bar fills up it looks like this: ![Full MVP Bar](http://i.stack.imgur.com/iIosp.png) According to the instruction booklet, the higher a character's MVP bar is, the better they perform on Dispatch missions. It seems it's possible for two characters to each get a MVP award after a battle (happens rarely) or none at all. My Jugglers get MVP awards often by just using the "Smile Toss" ability (Target takes next turn) often in a battle, but it doesn't seem to happen when my Thieves use their Steal abilities. If one of my characters deal a lot of damage in a battle they get can get a MVP award, but only if they are not the ones ones doing damage or if they do at least certain amount of damage. **What are the conditions for a character to be awarded MVP after a battle?**

Is there a good synopsis of the plot of Mass Effect 1 & 2?

Before I play Mass Effect 3, I'd like to learn about the events of Mass Effect 1 & 2 (which I haven't played). I basically know nothing about the Mass Effect universe at all. Is there a place where I can read a synopsis, or something similar, of what happened in those games and in the run up to Mass Effect 3?

How to install Xbox 360 "Optional Media Update"?

It has been almost a year since I last played on my Xbox, and I want to start viewing some WMV files on it through Windows Home Server. When I tried to play a WMV file it says I need a media update. According to a few websites, I need to get an Xbox live silver or gold account and download the optional media update. I did just that and did a general system update. However, after that I was still unable to play my WMV files. **How can I get my Xbox 360 to download this Optional Media Update?** I'm trying to play some files from http://microsoftpdc.com/Videos which looks to me in HD content.


In what ways does the outcome of Samara's loyalty mission in Mass Effect 2 affect Mass Effect 3?

I did my best to keep the title spoiler-free, as this is a major story decision, but the rest of it will obviously have to have spoilers in it. At the end of Samara's loyalty mission, if you have enough Paragon/Renegade points at the end of it, you can fight Morinth's sway over you. You then get a choice to either kill Samara or kill Morinth. The default action for this choice is to kill Morinth, as, if you don't have enough Paragon/Renegade points, you won't be able to help in the fight. However, if you choose to kill Samara, Morinth then takes her mother's place on the ship, which apparently fools everyone (except Kasumi). Under Returning Characters though, I don't see Morinth listed on the wiki, but I'm unsure if this is only because she was not confirmed in press releases before release. In what capacities do Samara and Morinth return in Mass Effect 3 (squadmates, mentioned by a NPC, quest-related, increases to Galactic Readiness, etc.)? I would like a comparison to help me make my decision about who I want to save.


How do I learn to strafe jump in Quake3?

I have read tutorials, watched videos, still can not strafe jump (movement by bunny hopping with gained speed) in Quake 3. Do I need specially made maps for it to work? Is there some settings I need to change server- or client-sided? Perhaps a good tutorial showing hand movement and keyboard, mouse rhythm and coordination?


In FarCry 3 is there an easier way of finding your kills than stumbling upon the body?

I often lose my kills in the grass and brush, even after tagging them with the camera or by aiming at them. Is there any better way of finding them than having to search? Even with the flashing texture, I often I can't see it until I'm right on top of the corpse.

Splitting up stacks for assembly

I frequently find myself shift-clicking stacks of an item to split up the stack, ready for assembly. This can get quite time consuming when making multiple items so I was wondering if there was another method of splitting up stacks quickly? ![Assembly screen](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eGVqv.jpg)

According to the wiki on chat commands and this image, /team will send a message to your team in WvW and /map sends to all players in your zone. Does the /map allow everyone, including enemies, to see your message?


Is there a reason to play Titanfall's campaign more than twice?

Playing Titanfall's campaign twice is necessary to unlock both Titan chassis (maybe some other stuff? ). I know you can regenerate to reset all your unlocks and start over at level 1, but barring that is there any reason to play campaign mode again after you've completed it twice? (I ask because it is frequently hard to continue a campaign partially completed. I keep having to start over!)


What is the difference between "Often dozes off" and "alert to sounds"?

I was breeding Abras for Modest Female Abra, I got 3 of them, they stats are the same:   * Att: 4   * Def: 5   * Sp.Att: 7   * Sp.Def: 6   * Speed: 7 And they description are **ALMOST** the same:               Modest nature.     4/16/2012     Day-Care Couple     Egg received.     4/18/2012     Route 3     Egg hatched.      BUT the last line is different:   1. Alert to sounds.   2. Alert to sounds.   3. **Often dozes off.** I am trying to level a most perfect for my tasty Abra as possible, and I Really want to understand the meaning behind this part. I'm playing Pokemon-white pokemon-fifth-gen

Is the gamepad support in The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition the same as in the Xbox 360 version?

The Witcher 2 already had gamepad support, I know that, but with the Xbox 360 "Enhanced Edition" this has been completely rehauled to better fit the Xbox 360 controller and console play, alongside the UI and all menus in the game. What I want to know is: Does the current version of The Witcher 2, which I believe is also called "Enhanced Edition" (if not, I probably wouldn't even be asking this question) use the overhauled Xbox 360 control scheme when you're playing with a gamepad or does it use the older version?

How can I improve in the Arena in Big Time Gangster?

Ive been playing Big Time Gangster for a long time, but I just can't seem to advance past round 17. I have five gangsters : Smoove, Mikey D, String, Wolf, and Lacroix. No health upgrades yet. I got lucky in the lotto and won Smoove a gun (Heavy 12, no dual wield). I have MP5Ks for Wolf and LaCroix, and the Genx Hawk (at least I think that's what it is) for String and Mikey. I've tried to earn free credits from apps and stuff, but now they keep wanting me to do stuff like credit card stuff and all that. I'm wondering what I need to be successful in thee arena. Any tips?


What can I do to troubleshoot sync errors in Tidalis?

Any time we try to do a custom map on Tidalis, we get out of sync errors after a short time. Are there settings we can set, or something else we can do, to alleviate this? I'd really like to play some custom maps. Perhaps networking settings? We're both on Windows 7 64-bit and adventure mode seems to work fine. The game is http://store.steampowered.com/app/40420/ and http://www.arcengames.com/tidalis_features.php


RSS feed for major Steam sales?

Is there somewhere I can subscribe that would only show 40% off or more game sales? Steam is a must; bonus points for aggregating multiple sites/stores. I'm rarely catching the sales on steam, and I imagine steam isn't the only company doing really nice occasional special sales.


What counts towards the Host badges?

In **Animal Crossing: New Leaf,** everyone is well aware that **Phineas** , the **scoutmaster** , hands out badges when you've achieved something. Well, I am having difficulty understanding the qualifications. I don't understand 2 of them, but I'll ask about the other in a different question. Anyway, it is about the _Host_ Badge. From reading the description of how to get the badge on The Animal Crossing Wiki, I apparently need to host/invite 50 people to my town. The problem is, do I need to invite **50 different people** or can I invite a person **50 different times** and still get the badge?


Where did they hide the weapon loadout screen?

In an early mission (no spoilers from me!), I had just found what I am guessing is your first sniper rifle. Convieniently, a nice little pop-up told me "press this to open the loadout menu!". So I did. Slapped on a sniper rifle and off I went. It took all of 30 seconds to realise I also have a shotgun equipped. The only game I have ever actually enjoyed a shotgun in was Doom, and this ain't it. So I went back to the menus to take off the shotgun. One less weapon to scroll through, right? Well, not so fast. I can't find the blasted menu anywhere! The only menu I would think to find it under is the "Squad" menu, and it only seems to have skill trees. Where do I find the loadout menu? I was just in there. I doubt EA would have patched it out between the time I found the rifle and the time I wanted rid of the shotgun...


Can you romance multiple people?

In Mass Effect 2, I remember there was a point in the game that you had to choose who to finally... close the deal with, and after you chose, the other romantic interests were not available (even though you could suggest a group effort). Is there something similar in Mass Effect 3, where you have to choose who to move forward with and then the others reject your advances, or can I have multiple partners?


How to make sure a steam key I redeem yields me the uncensored, not the German edition?

I want to buy the games offered in the current Humble Weekly Sale. What do I have to do in order to get the uncensored version? In particular, is the country of purchase defined by where the IP I order the bundle from or the one from which I redeem the Steam keys I get? Also, is it necessary to change the download region in Steam?


How can you micro stalkers vs. zealots?

I'm trying to micro a few stalkers against a few non charged zealots. I see a lot of players move their stalkers away, then hit, then move away, then hit, and so on. How do they micro as such? Do they use the Move, Stop, Move, Stop commands, or some other technique? When I try to do so, it really seems like there's a lag between the time the Stalker stops and actually attacks. But when other players do it online, they attack as soon as the stalkers 'stops', seems like they're not even stopping...


I was playing one of the new heists included in the Armoured Transport DLC - the underpass level specifically. After completing this heist I got an achievement - "But Wait - There's More!", and rather than getting to the experience screen we instead ended up on a new level called "Train Heist" in which we need to steal a turret weapon and its associated ammunition. I have a few questions about this level;   * What do I have to do to unlock the "Train Heist" level?    * Does unlocking this level result in it becoming permanently available to choose or do you need to unlock it each time you want to play it?   * Is it a random chance to drop or will this always drop on certain difficulties?


The proper use of smoke grenades - Men of War Assault Squad

I have a question about how to use smoke grenades. Most infantry seem to have them, and they are the obvious solution for attacking an strong enemy position (i.e. trench, field gun, tank). I seem to be having issues on higher difficulty skirmish against the AI with the position of my smoke screens. I'm not sure if they are meant to be on top of the position you are attacking, or between your current position and where the enemy is located. It seems like either method leads to my infantry getting torn apart. **What is the most effective method to deploy a smoke screen, and how are units affected by them?**


How does trustworthiness with NPCs work?

In light of Raven Dreamer's answer to Why can I sometimes take half of a shops items while the oher half is considered stealing?, how does one get people to like the player-character? In other words, get their disposition higher (towards the player-character) and get them to allow the player-character to take their stuff?   Edit: While rereading kotekzot's answer, I wondered how (easy it is) to affect a relationship negatively.   Edit 2: Then I realized that I was focusing solely on take vs. steal when I could be asking about what else that trustworthiness (as I'll call it instead of relationship) affects. If it is felt that this edit broadens too much; that what trustworthiness affects deserves its own question, this question can be changed back.


Does falling ever cause damage?

I've noticed that I can fall a fair distance without taking damage, but I've never fallen any farther than I could survive. If you fall far enough is it possible to take damage, or is falling damage just not accounted for? Are there kill zones if you fall off the map or into unreachable areas?

How do I defeat Volcanicrab, the Ignan Ruins boss?

I'm almost done Ignan Ruins, the second dungeon of Chantelise...except for what clearly seems to be the most difficult part, the boss. Volcanicrab seems impossible to damage with my sword, front and back, and doesn't seem to offer me any magic shards even when I swing at it. Magic manages to chip away its health, but without any way to get more shards to cast more spells, I can't seem to figure out how I'm supposed to inflict much damage at all. Is there something I'm missing here? How do I defeat Volcanicrab?


Can the "Bolt of Mass Destruction" destroy walls?

I recently shot a Bolt of Mass Destruction into a monster zoo (where else?), and in addition to all of the fire and blood everywhere, the walls next to the door disappeared (and monsters started walking through the gaps). Is this normal behavior for these bolts or is this some sort of weird bug?


How much extra damage does using an enemy's elemental weakness inflict?

In Chantelise, I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to use up one of my equipment slots with an elemental crystal when I could be stacking up another weapon or defense item instead. How much extra damage will I inflict on an enemy with their elemental weakness? Is this is a constant percentage or does it vary from enemy to enemy?


Language options in Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 (European 360 version)

Are there any clues about the "location" of Sovngarde?

Are there, in any material related to the Elders Scrolls, any clues about the locations of Sovngarde? Is it a piece of Oblivion, or a hidden part of Nirn where souls can manifest themselves, or something else entirely? I'm aware that the UESP says that is is a part of Aetherius, but this is only supported by the hypothesis that Aetherius is were souls go, but the only "evidence" of this is an Imperial priest (read, Thalmor cult) and an anti- Talos book, and ample evidences that not all souls go there (Ghost Fence, guardian spirits in Morrowind, souls claimed by Deadric Princes...).

How do I install Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines unofficial patches?

I have installed Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, via Steam, on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine. I found this question: "Available memory less than 15MB!!! -1" when launching I followed most of these instructions, and the game runs great! The "memory bug" patch ran without a problem. The "resolution patcher" ran without a problem. I set the executable to run in compatibility mode so the opening animations are visible. Still no problems... However, I would like to try installing the unofficial patches. I downloaded patch 8.1 from here: http://www.patches-scrolls.de/vampire_bloodlines.php When I try to execute `VTMBup81b.exe`, I get a popup window that says:               The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're     running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an     x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the     software publisher.      Then, I tried to be clever. I copied the directory where Bloodlines was installed onto a 32-bit Windows XP Virtual Machine. I copied the patch there. When I tried to execute the patch file under the XP VM, I simply got "Cannot execute VTMBup81b.exe" (on the command line, not a Windows popup). I tried the same thing with the version 7.9 patch, just to be sure, and I got the same results. How can I get this patch to install?


Can I trust X-TRAP?

I have recently installed Rusty Hearts with the intention of trying it out, even though I'm not really an MMO person. Something in the game's aesthetic just really appeals to me. While the gameplay videos I've seen looked decent, the installation experience itself had me questioning the game's credibility. The installer and subsequent launcher look slightly shady, with several suspicious windows popping up and disappearing. When I finally got to launching the actual game, I suddenly saw the following icon before the game went full-screen: ![It's a trap!](http://i.stack.imgur.com/w8XxL.png) Snooping around online, I discovered that this is some sort of cheat- prevention module called X-Trap, that is aimed to detect the following, amongst other things: >   1. The user has modified game files >   2. The user is running a 3rd party program that is not allowed >   3. The user is modifying the program dynamically > While I understand why cheat prevention is important in such games, my instincts are to be highly suspicious of this module. This is exacerbated by the fact that I can't seem to find any official information about it. So my question is, can I trust X-Trap not to:   1. Spy on me.   2. Alter my computer in ways I am unaware of.   3. Interfere with other programs.   4. Do other bad things I can't necessarily think about.

Storage Barn vs Market

Your villagers are the most important part of your village in Banished. Keeping them fed and warm in their homes is pretty much your top priority and where all of your resources go. Villagers will stock pile their homes with what they feel they are going to need and they will get those items from Storage Barns, Stock Piles (which I am lumping together for this discussion) and Markets. As far as I can tell the market is pretty much the same as a storage barn and stock pile. All the items they can get from one they can find from the others. So I therefore ask what benefit is there to a market? If anything it seems that it may be able to hold more items but it is then limited to its coverage area while the storage barns and stock piles are not. While they look neat and employ people to just move goods around I just do not see why a market is needed.


Workers to Laborers

There are two types of adults in Banished, Laborers and Workers. A Laborer is a general worker that can go out and gather basic resources from the land (wood, stone and iron). They are also responsible for carting around resources from certain locations to others though I am a bit less clear on this. A Worker is someone who has been given a specific type of task to do like fish, mine, teach or farm. As long as the materials they need are available to do their work they will keep at their specified task. When there are not enough materials however they seem to revert into being just a laborer again. The easiest example I have seen of this is a farmer during the winter will go around and gather stone and wood like the other laborers. Now another thing a laborer is supposed to do is move resources around, thus allowing your workers to keep on working when they need to. What is a good ratio of laborers to workers to try and keep my workers from wanting for resources? Or is the ratio more along the lines of laborers to resource production areas (buildings)? I am looking for a general field park number of people not to send off to a specific task. I have seen it mentioned in other questions and answers that you need to have laborers to keep the materials moving around and I am wondering what is a good worker to laborer ratio? 1 to 10? 1 to 5? 1 to 20? I am unsure. I have seen a blacksmith not be able to make steel tools because I can not get the coal away from the mine that is maybe 12 blocks further away than where the iron comes from.


Does the last champion in a pack drop better loot?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Is it intentional that the last blue monster to die carries most of the > loot?

Some of my gear says it gives +__% to finding gold and magic items. What exactly does this mean? Does it mean for gold I'm more likely to:   * Find more gold piles in general laying on the ground (natural spawns)?   * Find more gold in each pile?   * Increase the chances of finding more gold piles from killed mobs/chests/destroyables? As for magic items, does it mean I'm more likely to:   * Find better gear? like greens instead of whites? blues instead of greens? etc   * Increase chance for gear to drop from a kill/chest/destroyable?

Can I buy gold from the cash auction house?

I know you can buy equipment for real money in the cash auction house. Can you also just buy straight gold?


What is the trigger mechanic for the wizard passive critical mass?

**This question is no longer relevant as the skill has been removed from the game as of Patch 2.0.1** Critical Mass is a wizard passive: Critical Hits have a chance to reduce the cooldown of your spells by 1 second. Do you know what is meant by "chance" ? It is probably something like an increasing chance over time that decrease every time it triggers, because if it was a flat % chance it would be in the description. Most wizards cooldowns are about 15 seconds. When compared to evocation (reduces all cooldowns by 15%), critical mass needs to trigger at least 3 times every 15 seconds to be better than evocation. In my current setup, this is never the case. I would say that I deal about 10 critical hits in a normal 15 seconds fight. It is most of the time 1, sometimes 2. So I would guess that the base probability is something like 10%. My critical chance when doing this was 7%, so I think you have to increase it by a lot in order for critical mass to be effective. * * * Update: Critical mass recently got patched: > Fixed an issue with certain powers that had a higher than intended chance to > trigger Critical Mass It is still not clear how it works. Apparently it depends in what skill you are using. The only way to be sure is actually testing in the game what the skill does; and I find it very frustrating. I want to be able to design a build without having to test myself every spell independently, or searching though the web if someone did it. * * * Update (1.0.3): With the attack speed nerf, critical mass got un-nerfed. There is a build called windup based on the fact that energy twister with wicked wind makes critical mass trigger very often. * * * Update (1.0.4): Now the skill energy twister - wicked wind used in the windup build has his modifier reduced by half, so the build is still good, but not as good as it used to be.


Is it possible to keep Boone as a companion and become idolized by Caesars Legion?

I want to unlock the legions safehouse to get the lucky shades but I've already recruited boone. I want to keep him so I can get all the companions but I don't know how I can gain enough fame with the legion to get the safehouse key. I'm playing on a ps3 in hard core mode, so no console trickery will work. Is there any way to accomplish that?

What is the most advantageous starting equipment for the Magicka: Vietnam rescue mission?

At time of writing, there are five starting outfits for Magicka. Since hats and robes have no effect and you'll drop your sword for a firearm early in the Magicka: Vietnam rescue mission, only the staff really matters. Which of these five is best for the Vietnam rescue mission?   * Basic Staff (Default, no bonus)   * Staff +1 (Wizard Hat DLC, +1 damage)   * Bug Staff (Mea Culpa DLC, summons bugs)   * Patriot Staff (Magicka: Vietnam DLC, throws grenades)   * Staff of Endurance (Magicka: Nippon DLC, grants "increased resistance")


Why are my spells taking longer to cast as I level up?

I have a Blood Elf Frost Mage that's level 19 and every time I level, my Frostbolt takes just a bit longer to cast. Right now, the normal cast time is about 2.1 seconds, and with a special ability it's about 1.5. Why is this?


Where to spend chronoboost once you saturated with probes?

Usually, during **early game** I spend Chronoboost on probes, warpgate research, upgrades (attack, defence). In general, till 10th minute mark my Nexus's rarely have 100 energy. In **mid game** , I don't chronoboost probes as much, and even though I still speed-up upgrades... and sometimes units - I don't use it in full. Where should I spend chronobost in **late game**? I should not worry too much about it just build more guildings and keep pumping army? Any advise is welcome! Thank you.


Recording gameplay from my console

Is there some kind of gadget that allows you to record your gameplay on a console? I have a friend asking me a bunch of questions on Final Fantasy 12 and it would be much easier for me to simply send a decent quality video of me playing the game to him (or burn it to DVD). The best tactic for me would be if I could just record what's on the TV and not put the console itself into the equation. Feel free to offer pricier suggestions.

How does the ranking system work?

How does the Company of Heroes ranking system work? Is rank based on ranking position? How do I calculate how much ranking I gain (not rank) if I won a ranked match?


Does a cable lift have any advantages over a chain lift?

I noticed that giga coasters in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 can have cable lift hills. Instead of a chain running the length of the hill, a train-length cable travels from the top of the hill, picks up the train from the station, carries it back up, and drops it off the other side. What's the point to this, though? Does it have any advantages over traditional chain lifts?

Is there any way to know what kind of stuff I will get out of ore?

I want to maximize my time underground, and I can only carry a certain amount of stuff at a time. Is there any way to know before I dig how valuable the stuff in a particular bit of ore will be? Or do I just need to dig and find out?


My Skyrim horse can only gallop (sprint) for a few seconds, same as me. Why is this?

Being a horse, one would expect they could "sprint", ie. gallop, for a decent period of time. Mine (the first one I bought, at Whiterun stables), can only sprint for about as long as I can. That is, just several seconds. Then he goes back to cantering. Is this normal? If so, what's the purpose of giving a horse (and apparently the hardiest of horses in Tamriel, or so I hear) so little fatigue?

Lower voice transmit threshold for Xbox Live

Whenever I am in a party on Xbox live my friends ask me why I haven't said anything in so long. However I'm typically yacking away - unknowingly to myself. I have a stock Xbox mic, I've taken the foam off the end of it. I have a feeling there are two things that impact this:   1. I have a deep voice   2. I don't shout into the mic If I raise my voice to a personally uncomfortable level then people can hear me again. Is there any way to lower the transmit threshold so I don't have to shout or put the mic down my throat?


Clubs Transfer Strategies in FIFA 12

In career mode in FIFA 12, what factors determine a club's transfer strategy (e.g. whether they are a "buying" or "selling" club)? I'm playing a career as a virtual pro but not playing as a manager. I'm playing for Liverpool, but in the course of 3 transfer windows they've sold off 6 or so star players (Suarez, Carroll, Reina, Johnson, Agger, Downing for those who are interested) without buying a single player. It's so completely unrealistic that it's really ruined the experience for me. I'm wondering if there are any factors that I have control over that I could change to make sure it doesn't happen again. I realise I could just become the manager and then have (almost) complete control over transfers, but I would rather avoid all the minutia and just focus on playing.


Does a Mutation count as a campaign?

In left 4 dead 2, there's currently a mutation called Four Swordsmen, where you can only use a sword to play the level. I was wondering if finishing a level would award me the Confederacy Of Crunches achievement (Finish a campaign using only melee weapons). I ask because there are no common infected on this mutation, so perhaps it doesn't count towards it, being different to a "normal" campaign.

When I get into a fight in DC Universe Online, and I see my health getting low I attempt to fly away but my characters is stuck in a hover state when I a getting hit and trying to leave. Is there a way to stop my character from just hovering when I am trying to fly. If you are confused do this... activate flight then use a melee attack or blast and then immediately try to fly after that, your character will hover before actually going into a full blown fly.

How can I save myself from an island in lava?

I defeated a Muscly Diggle at level 10 and right after that the Blink Curse teleported me onto a small island in the middle of lava. It was in its last turn, so I have no chance of using it to jump back. It's been a long time since my last manual save, so I wanted to kill myself and continue from the last autosave. [I'm not playing on Hardcore, since the game used to crash on me quite often.] When I tried to do that, the game auto- saved. My Knightly Leap won't reach and I don't have access to any more Spatial Instability Infusion. **Is there any way to save myself, without having to replay the last hour or two?**


Do Super Jumps count toward your total when in a race?

In Burnout Paradise, there are several progressions you can make in the game, such as smashing through shortcuts, finding super jumps, and driving through certain billboards. When you perform these tasks, you get a progression indicator (e.g. 33/400). When you are in a race, takedown, or any other game mode outside of free roam and perform one of these progressions, you do not see the indicator on screen. Does it still count toward your total?


How can I tell companion influence level in KotOR 2?

How can I tell how much influence I've got with my NPC companions in Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords? The game tells you when you gain dark side or light side, and also tells you when you gain or lose influence with your companions, but whilst it gives you a nice graph of your overall light/dark allegiance, there doesn't seem to be any way to tell your total current influence level with your various NPC companions?


Finding Good BF3 Servers

Can you give tips/guidelines/advice on how to find good games in BF3? Before DICE allowed anyone and everyone to rent servers (Consoles), you could easily find a decent game by choosing Quick Match. The few DICE servers ensured decent size teams. Now I mostly get dropped into +200% ticket servers with very few players and often the teams are unbalanced ( 5 vs 10 ). I usually play between 9pm to 1am CST throughout the week.


Is Red Dead Redemption multiplayer region locked?

I have an american PS3.   I bought the UK version of Red Dead Redemption.   I am currently living in Italy   I tried to play a multiplayer match with a friend with an american PS3 and american RDD. He is currently living in the US.   Everytime we invited each other an error prompt with no explanation whatsoever appeared. I was wondering if we couldn't play a multiplayer session game because:   A. our discs being from different regions?   B. or us being in different countries?   C. a combination of A and B. Does anyone here know something about this?

Should I equip my MF gear before identifying items?

I wanted to know if I should equip my MF gear in order to identify magic items in order for them to yield better results, or if the items just don't show their magic properties but they are already on the item (unlike for instance, what happens with a treasure chest)


Why do I sometimes not get credit for "Pink'd" when killing bosses?

I know that in order to get the Pink'd acheivement you need to have " ** _head, shoulder, feet, leg, hand, and torso equipment colored with Lovely Dye_** ", and I have of course done that - but I notice as I play through the game I sometimes get credit towards the acheivement for killing bosses, and other times I don't. Am I doing something wrong? I'd suspect it was bugged, but since I sometimes get credit it can't be completely broken (or at least that seems unlikely).


Why is Gibrien Marsden asking me to change citizenship?

I am playing as a gnome conjurer in EverQuest II. This is my second character on this account, so I got the option of starting in Kelethin. I am trying to fast-track citizenship in Kelethin so that I can get a house and store stuff there. I have completed Learning Faerlie so that I can talk to the necessary NPCs, and I have a reputation of 40 000 with Kelethin. According to both Considering Kelethin and Kelethin: Citizenship I need to speak to Gibrien Marsden to start the respective quest (before going to the Fae Royal Hall to speak to one of two NPCs there - I cannot access them at the moment). However, when I speak to Gibrien, he asks me about _changing_ citizenship. And offers me the choice of changing to Qeynos or Freeport. He does not offer me dialog options to get on the Kelethin citizenship track. Is it possible that I am already a citizen? If so, how do I confirm this?


Binding keys for Urban Terror on Mac

I'd like to have some custom binds while playing Urban Terror, but they don't (always) work. I have **q3config.cfg** in               [HOME]/.Library/Application Support/Quake3/q3ut4/q3config.cfg      and **autoexec.cfg** in my q3ut4 folder (Applications). I've tried modifying both but nothing works. Or rather, what happens is that the first time I set it they usually work, but when I restart my computer/quit the game and reopen it (not sure which is the factor here), they stop working except the bind I made for the Knife on the letter X. What am I missing here?


Is there any way to turn hints off in Lego Marvel Superheros?

In the previous Lego games there's always been the option to turn hints on or off. They're on by default in Marvel Superheros game, and I can't find any option to turn them off. It's also no longer just text popping up like in the previous games, it's Agent Colson telling me to do things, and it's getting old fast. Did they really remove the option to turn hints on/off? Is there a cheat code, difficulty setting, or hack I can use to remove the hints? How do I shut Agent Colson up?

How can I start Tango & Cash

There is a quest in the junk yard called Tango & Cash where you are supposed to try and break the record at mob killing the two dogs have. The first step says to go to the barriers and prepare. I have spent over an hour now walking around the area. I know where the barriers are but the quest never progresses. I thought maybe the quest It takes two to Tango was holding it up some how so I went and did that one, but still no luck.. The 'Regular' attacks do not appear to be that regular. What am I doing wrong?


What does it mean to use Substitution Jutsu?

I'm stuck on the the mission "Sakura's Training" (C-rank I think) where one of the conditions is to use the Substitution Jutsu more than 6 times. What does it mean by that? Does it mean use the item Substitution Justu more than six times, or obtain the item Substitution Jutsu more than 6 times, or block when an enemy attacks you and teleport behind them, or do additional blows and teleport behind them when they try to strike you, or what?

How to placate a very angry priest?

So whilst going to rescue the Moth Priest 'Dexion Evictus' I think I accidentally might have hit him, not sure how. Anyhow the bearded maniac has taken this as a personal attack and refuses to accept a yeild. Because he's so angry with me he'll just not quit, but being a quest NPC he can't die, nor can my companion Mjoll. So aside from the hilarious infinity battle, I thought, fair enough I'll talk to him whilst he's 'downed' and lo, I progressed the quest. So I go back to the Dawnguard fortress, and he's there in the middle shouting murder and attacking everyone in the fortress! Clearly his rage knows no bounds. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tmAmt.jpg) Is there a way to forcibly pacify him without interring him? Or do I need to roll back and do over?


What's the maximum number of ribbons a Pokémon can attain in Gen IV?

Using only Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver, what is the maximum number of ribbons a single Pokémon can legitimately attain? Don't include Pokémon traded from other games (e.g. Emerald or any Pokémon spinoff games other than the ones listed), event-only ribbons, or ribbons that cannot legitimately appear together on the same Pokémon without cheating. Don't include the one ribbon that appears on some event Pokémon; **but:** for a bonus point, do any event Pokémon come with more than one ribbon?


Simcity residents don't shop

I have some high/medium density low wealth ($) residents in a corner of my city complaining that there are no shopping around here. They have money, brought home when workers come home from 6am/6pm shifts, at which point the buildings fill up with residents. The residents are supposed to come out of the building as shoppers, shop, and bring home happiness. Instead, the residents just stay in the building until the next 6am/6pm shift and become workers and workers coming home become residents. There are medium/high density shops on both sides of the street near the residential buildings. Each shop has about 512 unsold low wealth merchandise and they are complaining there are no shoppers. There is very little traffic on the street. Residents are not "stuck" inside the building. They come out fine as workers but they simply don't want to come out as shoppers. This sounds like a bug. I want to confirm. Is there a list of Simcity bugs being compliled somewhere so I can save myself a few headaches?

Diablo 3 (Xbox360) co-op exp and loot mechanics?

me and my friends just bought Diablo 3 for the Xbox 360. We played for a couple of hours in co-op mode (3 players). One of my friends, who supposedly knew more than the rest of us about the game, told us that in co-op mode all exp and money gained from killing monsters is automatically shared among all party members. After a few hours of play though, we started doubting that this was not true. Money and loot for starters are individual (leading to an annoying grab-fest every time a boss dies). We still haven't figured out the exp part, and they refuse to quit our grinding for a little bit in order to experiment and find out, so I'm asking you guys to help me clarify: 1) Is exp divided evenly each time an enemy is killed? 2) If not, does the player who dealt the killing blow gain more experience? 3) Is experience gain in any way related to the amount of damage dealt? 4) Do I get exp for every monster killed by the party or only for the one I hit at least once? 5) Do I still get exp while dead (and waiting to be revived)? 6) Do I get experience from special finds (i.e. books, scrolls, etc.) or does it only go to the character who activated the item? 7) Is quest exp shared evenly among party members, or is there a way to get more exp than the others from a quest? 8) Do items that increase exp gain only affect myself or also the other party members? Thank you for your answers =D


Leveling up perks offline

If I play a solo game or just host a game and play alone, I am able to level up my perks, but lose all experience gained playing alone when I switch to playing multiplayer instead.

What happens to food I don't digest before the day is over?

One of the many (many) mechanics presented in the _World Ends with You_ is the idea of eating and digesting food. Food items give an immediate benefit upon consumption (I've only seen sync % increases so far) and an additional one when fully digested. Each food is takes a certain amount of "bytes" to fully digest, where one byte is equivalent to one round of combat. Seeing how there is a maximal amount of bytes that can be taken per day, it would be a shame not to use them all up (as the counter is reset, and you miss out on the potential bonuses you would have gotten). My question is, what happens to food I've only partially digested when the day is over? Let's say I eat something that takes 10 bytes to digest, and then I only fight 5 groups of enemies before the day ends. I still have 5 more bytes to go before receiving that food item's digestion bonus. Do I simply miss out on the bonus? Do the remaining 5 bytes carry over to the next day, counting towards its limit? Something else?


Do you have to finish Dawnguard before Serana is a Regular Follower?

I have the misfortune of being a PS3 person playing Skyrim, but I am still holding out hope that Bethesda will deign to allow us to play their DLCs for this game. I have read a great deal about Dawnguard, however, and several coworkers have had very good things to say about it, on XBox360. So, when you find Serana, how much of Dawnguard do you have to play before you can take her to other parts of the world, and do other stuff with her (Companions Quests, College of Winterhold stuff, other missions that don't require a specific follower), or dismiss her, and then just go find her again, when you want her, instead of Breylina, or someone? Do you have to do all of it in one rush, or will she follow you around, and let you do Dawnguard stuff as you wish?


How do I send ships in Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation?

I'm at Sequence 5. I have this ship filled with cargo (cotton) at the New Orleans port. I can see other ports and route risks (pirates, storm, hurricane).

PlayStation 4 video drops when connected to Dell monitor via HDMI-to-DisplayPort adapter

I'm trying to get my PS4 connected to my Dell monitor which has a DisplayPort input. I've purchased an HDMI-to-DisplayPort adapter and a DisplayPort cable in order to do so. This works, but the video cuts out periodically. Sometimes, I can get a good 30-45 minutes in before the monitor goes black for about 2 seconds. Then, everything is back to normal again for a while longer. Other times, this happens more frequently (like every 2-3 minutes). This is extremely frustrating and makes most games unplayable. I have a computer connected to the same monitor, and it exhibits no such issue. I recognize my setup is a bit odd, and I suspect the adapter may be the culprit. Has anyone dealt with a similar problem? Do you have any suggestions for what I could try or how I could fix this (short of buying a television)?


Help me beat this Neochu

I've finished the storyline and am now finishing all the missions. Up to this point, there have been many battles that took a few tries, but never any battles that I felt I had to grind for. A few moments' thought, a carefully- crafted Paradigm deck, and a bespoke strategy have gotten me through every battle at the moment I encountered it. I'm now in Titan's Trials, I've gone through one set of five battles, and now I'm on the last battle of another: E1, Mission 45, against a Neochu. **I cannot figure out how I can beat this thing** — not without leaving and coming back WAY later, anyway. It's hard enough to survive to the halfway point of the battle, and once the bloody thing spawns his Picochus it's all over. I've been using Fang - Lightning - Hope. Fang has around 15,000 HP, Lightning around 12,000, and Hope around 11,000. All my Physical and Earth defense accessories have been distributed among them in several configurations. All three characters are over halfway through Stage 10 of their primary role Crystaria (all the 30,000-CP crystals are lit up), and Lightning and Hope each have Stage 1 of Sentinel. I begin by Hasting everyone, then immediately switch to COM - COM - MED. I always have to have a Medic, because if I don't, two consecutive regular attacks can kill a party member. This continues until Neochu is about to Screech, at which point I switch to SEN - SEN - SEN, which is pretty much necessary to survive the attack. I then switch to COM - MED - MED or SAB - MED - MED to heal while keeping the chain gauge (barely) up. _Then_ the Neochu uses Pollen, so I have to _keep_ my two Medics for a moment, _then_ try to reHaste everyone, which is tricky because Lightning is not a good Medic and by _this_ time the Neochu is attacking again! So I have to go back to COM - COM - MED which leaves me with several debuffs on each character, which are barely gone before the stupid thing Screeches again. Thus I can limp along until the Neochu is at half health. Then he summons his Picochus. _Then_ he screeches, making me pull out SEN - SEN - SEN. If I survive that, I can go SEN - COM - MED, but I can hardly get them all Provoked before my party members start falling, and even if I do, I can't then get Mediguarded in time to survive their initial onslaught. What am I doing wrong? None of the strategies I've read elsewhere seem to indicate that I should be having this much of a problem just keeping everyone alive. **TL;DR: Help me exact vengeance on this accursed beast.**


Creating an Overworld portal to a specific location in the Nether

I have been reading the Wiki lately and have read some interesting facts about portals. One thing in I was interested in was the teleportation aspect. First thing I did with success is placing the old portal I had in a different location. I didn't like the location at all, I did the following.   * Build the new portal in the Overworld.   * Wrote the coordinates and calculated where the new portal should be ( x/8 | z/8)   * I broke my old portal, and used the new one to teleport to the nether   * In the Nether I broke the old one, and build the new one as close to the right spot   * Went back and came out in the new portal Worked out great. Now I have only been playing MC for about 2 weeks, so the next thing I want to do is a little bit too chalanging for me. ## Question I have a nicely working Blazefarm in the Nether, but it is a kinda danerous walk. I wonder if I can create a portal near my base which will instanly TP me to the location. Basically I want to build a portal in the Nether at:               Nether: X: -70/71; Y: 72; Z: -139      Now if I make the calculations I will **end up way too far in the overworld**. I will end up at:               Overworld: X: 560; Y: ? Z: -1112      But my main portal, and base are at:               Overworld: X: 180/181; Y: 50; Z: 340      That's a hell of a journey for me. ## Suggestion I wonder if the following would work.   * I build a new portal in the overworld more than 128 blocks from my old one   * I fire it   * I go trough my old portal to the Nether   * I build my new Nether portal close to my blazefarm   * fire it and go trough it Will I then end up and the new portal in the overworld? I am planning to build the Overworld poral at:               New Overworld portal: X: 220/221; Y: 12; Z: 200      The Z coordinate is now more than 128 blocks away from the old one.


Minecraft glitching the display on Ubuntu?

I am having a problem with the display when I run Minecraft. Half of the screen flickers diagonally, but it only happens when I look in certain directions. Also, I cannot play Minecraft looking at the sky the whole time. Any idea what might be the cause of the problem?


Is it worth killing the dragon on the bridge in Undead Burg?

I've just beaten the _Taurus Daemon_ in _Undead Burg_ and after that encountered a bridge guarded by a red dragon and some _Hollow Warriors_. I've found a way to sneak under the bridge through a stairway around the middle of the bridge. From this point, I can fire arrow and hurt the dragon, and it doesn't seems to be able to hit me back. With my bow and arrows, I deal around 15 hit point at a time. Can I kill the dragon this way? If yes, how many hit points do the dragon have (so that I can estimate how many arrow I need for this)? What will be the reward? Should I just continue on my journey, and eventually the dragon will move aside and allow me to cross the bridge?
