What does 'unused loot' mean in the Horde ability in Dungeon Quest

There are different pet types in Dungeon Quest (iOS and Android) and each pet type has a main ability unique to them. For imps, the ability is Horde: > Picks up normal and unused loot and converts to rarer items. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/o3Ynt.jpg) I've seen an imp get a normal (white) drop and convert it to a magical (blue) drop. I have yet too see an imp convert a magical item to rare (yellow) or rare to epic (orange). What does the 'unused loot' mean in the ability?


My city is in a chronic recession

My city is 1500 years old. It has 1.8 million citizen, 800k businesses and a small industry (around 9k). It's a thriving town running on a $4.5 million yearly budget. It's pretty developed; the crime and pollution rates are low, education and health are pretty high and it has a decent infrastructure (buses and rails account for 20% of traffic). The city is connected to many other cities, it outsources industrial jobs, electricity, water and garbage. It has an airport that handles over a million traveler. Here is how it looks like from the sky. It's pretty crowded: ![just a part of the city](http://i.stack.imgur.com/E5ezQ.png) And this is only a small part of the whole thing. But there is a problem here: Technically, and from my estimates, my city can handle up to 3 million citizen and 1.5 million businesses. But it's not. However, it has entered in a chronic recession that no stimulus can escape it. My only escape to the decline of the city is to raise taxes which only worsened things. Taxes for the poor are at 20%, and 8% for the remaining. Businesses have taxes from 8% to 20%; and the small industry is taxed 8%. When I started the city, the taxes were a lot lower, but since the recession hit (at around 2.0 million population); I had the raise taxes to face the budget deficit. I have tried lowering taxes for the poor which increases their number, and then convert them to medium and rich citizens. It worked for a while and made something similar to a "business cycle". But this plan no longer works. Lowering taxes to 0% for the poor now barely raises their number (though their number doubles, it's still pretty negligible to the rest of the city population - around 200k -) I have tried taking all taxes to 0; but this only ruined my thousands' year savings. The city couldn't get alive again. There are dozens (and maybe hundreds) of empty business and residential buildings that could handle a couple more millions of population. Planning new parts, making projects and things doesn't work; The effect is negligible to the whole. I think the solution is an economical reform but SimCity has poor settings in that area. **How can I bring my city out of this recession?** * * * **Update** : Here is an update with more relevant information. (I'm not sure how to get the file of the city, any tips?)   1. Earnings/Expenses: It's clear from the graph, that there was a financial crash followed by a chronic and slow recession. Less earnings, cut expenses. Cut expenses results in less earnings, that evil circle. ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/diJYg.png)   1. Demand: All demand is low, except for the industry. There isn't enough place for the industry (which at the time was around 90K, but is now only 9k). In fact, the city rely a lot on its neighbors for the industry. New neighboring cities always have 100% high demand in High-Tech industry and fill any size of land you give. ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4Ml57.png)


How does the Circle Pad Pro work?

I am trying to use the Circle Pad Pro, and while it worked for a while (and was pretty awesome), all of a sudden it isn't working anymore. I am not sure how the thing works, so I don't have any idea what to do to try to get it to work again. How does the Circle Pad Pro work? How does it know when it should interact with the 3DS? Would removing it when the 3DS is sleeping or paused cause it to stop working? Also, do I have to have certain settings in game? (Such as setting move to the ABXY buttons to use the right circle pad (on the Pro) rather than the left one.)


Does your drawing partner see trashed drawings?

In Draw Something if you completely mess up a drawing you can press the Trash button to start again. Will your drawing partner see the drawings that you trash, or will they only see the final version?


What resources will be impossible to acquire when structures are disabled?

I'm considering starting a map with the structures option disabled since I don't really like the villages and the abandoned mine shafts. The mine shafts especially, seems to take over all underground areas to a point where it is hard to find any natural cave systems. I also realized that ravines, which I like a lot, will still be generated when structures are disabled. The one resource I know I will miss are melons but giving 1 melon seed as server admin should fix that. So what other resources of importance will be impossible to find when structures are disabled?


How do you join the Golden Acorn Club?

In _Hatch_ , while in the store, if you try to purchase something you can't afford, the shopkeeper mentions that there is the Golden Acorn Club. He says: > If you purchase membership and join the club, you get 10% off everything in > the shop! After that though, there is no mention of how to join or where to join. Is it something that comes up later in the game, or did I miss something?


Song during Heart of the Swarm Ending Cinematic

What is the name of the song used during the heart of the swarm ending cinematic? You can hear it at the following link: Right now listening to the whole heart of the swarm soundtrack and I still can't figure it out. "Fire in the sky" and "whispering from the stars" are pretty close though. List of Heart of the swarm songs: Songs name:   * Corruptors: 00:00:00   * Heart of the Swarm: 00:07:52   * Collateral damage : 00:15:17   * Fire in the sky: 00:20:43   * Stronger: 00:28:50   * The coming storm: 00:35:16   * Conscience: 00:42:32   * Phantoms of the void: 00:50:19   * He had it coming: 00:57:47   * Ascension: 01:04:30   * Whispering from the Stars: 01:10:36 Not knowing the song is driving me crazy.

How do I beat Mesmeroth?

In Oceanhorn, during the boss sequence with Mesmeroth, I'm able to get him down to his last tiny bit of health, but cannot finish him.   1. I use the shield to reflect his fireballs back at him until he turns into the glowing balls, and hit the balls to reduce his health.   2. I hit the generators to stop the lasers from shooting.   3. Repeat 1-2 until he has a tiny bit of health left, and then he stops turning on the generators.    4. He starts shooting multiple fireballs at once, and I repeatedly reflected his fireballs back at him, but he never loses health or turns into a fireball.  Twice I've done this, and reflected fireballs for 15 minutes with no progress. I tried bombs, fire spell, ice spell - nothing works. Any advice?


What types of weapons best suit each class in multiplayer?

I am quite addicted to ME3 multiplayer now. I would like to know the best weapon (locked & default ones) combinations for each class, so as to better equip myself for silver & gold levels.


Are potions of mutation useful?

From what I understand, mutations can be either positive or negative. Drinking a potion of mutation will give you a random mutation, so there's a good chance that it can ruin your game for you. Is it worth holding onto these potions? Is there a point in the game where drinking one is actually a good idea?


Why can't I import my Mass Effect 2 save?

I'm trying to import my savegame of Mass Effect 2 to Mass Effect 3. I put it in the correct folder and the game finds it normally, but I can't select it.

Melt creature parts?

I recently killed a Hill Titan made entirely from _gold_ in my Dwarf Fortress game, and I fully intended to melt the gold, make memorial stones, and engrave the tale of its defeat on its remains. However the _melt_ option does not appear on `Thalu Ireneaye's gold`. Is there a way I can melt it, or otherwise make use of that lovely pile of titan gold outside my entrance? ![Thalu Ireneaye's gold](http://i.stack.imgur.com/A2dgp.png)


Cannot play random Cataclysm dungeon

I'm level 80, so I'm shown the option to play a "random Cataclysm dungeon", but when I try to play, by clicking "Find Group", the following message appears: > You do not meet the requirements for the chosen dungeons.

How can I get my hedgehog into space in 7 days?

Hedgehog Launch (for iOS) has an achievement called _Incredible Launch_ which you can get if you launch your hedgehog into space in 7 days or less. I'm looking for some pointers on how to get the achievement, what's the best way to spend money earned, etc. Pointers for doing the same thing in the Flash version would likely also be fine as they play pretty much the same.


Does Blitzcrank's ultimate silence or stop channeling spells?

I have seen this phenomenon not only once that when Blitzcrank runs into a TF, he silences for a short duration, stopping channeling for example. Is this true, or only an assumption on my part?


How do I lick a plane?

A friend of mine told me that I would get an Achievement if I managed to lick the plane that's flying around in the world but, he won't tell me how to get close to it. I tried many different things. Jumping on trampolines won't get me high enough, and the only thing that looks high enough is the crane, but I somehow can't jump that far when the plane (or... glider? I don't actually know what it really is.) shows up there. How can I lick that thing, and what is the achievement I can get from it?


"Vietnam" from Steam with retail base game?

Steam had EA Week, they had all of Battlefield stuff on sale, including "Vietnam" expansion pack for Bad Company 2 at 50% off. Is it possible to use Steam version of that expansion pack with retail version of BF:BC2? I know that this "expansion" is basically just a key which you register in game, but how does that work in case of Steam version? EDIT: the sale is over now.


Source Engine entity access sharing

In Source games you can directly (with cheats enabled) access the entity network of each map through such commands as "ent_text" and "ent_fire". However, even with cheats enabled, only the first player is able to do this. The other player does not have access to the entity network with the same commands. Is there any way to allow other players access to this network in the same way?


What are the differences between the Battlefield series and the Bad Company series?

I entered the Battlefield universe with _Battlefield 3_ , but since then I read and heard that _Battlefield 3_ and _Battlefield 4_ were largely similar to the Bad Company series, specifically that DICE "should go back to _Bad Company_ " - implying they like it much more than the _Battlefield_ main series. Seeing how people clearly feel the _Bad Company_ series is superior, I'm curious as to what are the main differences between these series, what has been changed from one to the other in terms of, say, mechanics or setting? Is this just a personal preference or were there really some big changes made?

What is the solution to the family puzzle?

I've arrived at three pillars, each with a hologram presumably representing my father, mother, and I, as a child. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4e0hP.jpg) Each pillar has a variety of words above it; the father has the words 'Admire', 'Protect' and 'Listen', the mother has the words 'Console', 'Abandon' and 'Listen' and the child representing Nilin has the words 'Listen', 'Fear' and 'Love'. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ftLPv.jpg) I appear to be able to rotate the words around each column from the floor above, so I am assuming this is a word matching puzzle of some kind. What combinations of words do I need to select to solve this puzzle?


My equipment isn't getting me enough monster heads

I'm playing the Hexxit modpack and have made a couple of Tinker's Construct Cleavers, which are supposed to have a Beheading trait by default, but they have thus far given me no increased rate of mob head drops. I then explicitly added the Beheading trait to one of them and ran around killing many things, but still my trophy wall of heads remains without any new tenants. I'm quite disappointed at my lack of decapitation capabilities. Is this a known bug, a configuration issue, or some third thing?


What does the 'Sweetness' stat do?

In Sugar Rush Speedway, (one of the web-based accompaniment games for the Disney movie, Wreck-it Ralph), you get to choose between most of the racers that appear in the movie. Each racer has 3 stats, shown below: ![the 'Chews your Racer' screen, showing the stats for racer Taffyta](http://i.stack.imgur.com/H80KC.png) Speed and Handling are pretty straightforward, but what does the 'Sweetness' stat do, if anything?

What is the maximum number of Locations Discovered that one can achieve in Skyrim?

Under Stats | General, there is a counter for Locations Discovered at the top. What is the maximum number one can achieve in this? I have tried googling the answer but I am not able to find satisfactory answer. There are some self reports of people achieving 348, 329 or 323 in various places in internet and some obviously wrong answers like 719, but strangely enough I am not able to find definite answer for this. Is there a way to find out a definitive answer?


How on earth (or whatever planet it is) do I win, or even survive, on level 3?

At the beginning of level three, I am dropped in an area with no resources and told to defeat a large biter nest with just what I can create with my starting resources. I can't figure out how this is possible. Biters show up and soak up my bullets faster than I can produce them, and every bullet I fire is one less that I have to assault the final base. What can I do?

Just beat the game on Steam and hit the '+' symbol next to the save file without thinking. I'd like to go back to the original play-through and try to fight Mom. Any way to get back to the original play-through?


Do Halbu and Jamella have any lore?

Halbu and Jamella, the vendors in the Pandemonium Fortress, are quite mysterious characters, with very few spoken lines and just two purposes: repairing/vendoring and giving quests. On their wiki pages there aren't any useful informations about them, so I was just wondering: has there ever been any Word of God about their lore? Are they just there to be useful? This always seemed odd to me, especially considering the deep lore that's always been a distinguishing trait of Blizzard's games...


Is there anything like Thorns in DS2?

I was doing some PVP in the Luna Belltower last night and I was completely baffled. Every time I hit this person, I lost a quarter of my health to what looked like lightning. I got a backstab, and died from it. Is there anything like Thorns from Blizzard games in Dark Souls 2? Something that does damage to anyone attacking the player. Gear, spells(probably a miracle based on the lighning), or even weapons are fine. I've looked around, but from what I've seen, a lot of resources aren't fully in place yet.

How many Collectors (Probe/Drone/SCV) do you have to kill for a raid to be worth it?

So frequently, I find myself raiding the enemy base with some fast harasser unit (example: Mutalisks) and I find that the enemy mineral line is defended in some way (example: marines/photon cannons). Now I know that each Mutalisk costs me 100 crystal and 100 gas, but I also know that each Collector costs my opponent 50 crystal + all the resources it will ever collect for the rest of the game. So the question is, how can you determine how many Collectors you should kill for some value of raiding force for the loss of the raiding force to be 'worth it'?

Is there a way to find the invaded player?

I know there's a miracle that is used to find the invader, but as the invader, does that miracle work or is there any other way to find the player? This is because I get frustrated in places like the Dragon Shrine where players escape to Dragon Aerie and sometimes I am simply unable to find them.

I can't connect to my friends servers and my friend can't connect to my servers?

It has happened to some games (CS:GO, Garry's Mod, Age of Empires 3, maybe some others that I haven't tried). My friend just can't connect to my hosted games and I can't connect to his, but with other people it works fine. But in some games he can join (Space engineers). And now he or I cant even join in the same server no matter who's hosting. Whats happening?! (this only happens in AoE 3, so far) Some extra info: We're both running Windows 7 Ultimate I guess we do have an Exteranl IP address but most of the servers aren't the dedicated ones , they're the ones that you just press host game and friends join you. Now I tried and with Dedicated servers he can join just fine so its just with the Game hosted servers I guess. Do I need to port forward for a non-dedicated server? I think that i dont have to And atleast in Age Of Empires 3 we cannot join random servers together , only one of us can be in a server.


What do the different symbols on level select mean?

When choosing a level to play or looking at your Hero Profile, you can see for each level three symbols: A Medal, signifying which of the three level medals (or just one on the last level) you've earned (Completion, all generators, time); A Gold Bolt, signifying how many Gold Bolts you've collected. Additionally, there's a circle with pointed edges. I have no idea what it signifies. It looks like a the symbol for skill points, but I can't tell what are the level's skill points. Does it count the skill points available only on that level? (like the "time trials" skill points)


How do I get the bug net?

I think this is related to (or the same question as:) How do I get to Beedle's island at night?, but the answers there don't really seem to answer the question. Someone at the inn says that Beedle has a net I can buy, and that he's not there during the day. I've tried going there at night, but I can't get to the bed (because it's under an outcropping, and my bird won't go in), and I can't see him out around during the day. So, do I need to try harder to get to the bed on his island? Do I need to (wait until X occurs and) find him during the day?


How do I see my inputs?

I use my emulators to take some of my console games on the go. I want to write some scripts to use with my controllers/emulators. I am running Windows 7x64. I use several usb devices (game controllers and drawing tablet being the two main ones I'm concerned with). I have controllers which use xinput, dinput and the tablet has some hid buttons... one of the controllers has a gyro (and maybe a compass as well?), and (the gyro at least) works properly (I can, for example, drive a car in game using motion controls). These settings are kinda scattered around my driver program and individual games... I need a utility that can display what input is active (what button I'm pressing, or axis is active), without having to go looking for it. This makes mapping the buttons/axis properly to their counter parts rights... sometimes, I just get confused (the mixture of xinputs, dinputs and hid inputs) i.e.: when I have my motion sensor controller plugged in, I want to see what each button pressed is (LButton, Button1 or ButtonOne or whatever the command name of the button is, etc) including the axis (the 2 sticks and gyro), so I can use them in scripts more easily (I just always forget which is which, and which names for dinput and xinput since I do things like things infrequently). Sort of like the "display keystrokes" utilities, but that includes controller inputs as well. If it includes the exact stick movement that'd be great. I really only need this for the dinput/xinput (I assume the gyro function is covered n there?), but it would be great if such a thing also exists that can show me what the hid input commands are (though I understand this might be another matter altogether, a link to info on this would be appreciated as well). To be clear: I am not looking for raw data, unless I can get that from the same utility (without added hardware) or anything low level, I just want to see what the inputs are recognized as by Windows. I would also take a reference sheet of xinput/dinput commands that show what buttons/axis names are for use in mapping and scripting. Sorry if this should be obvious or easy to find, it seems to bring up a lot of more technical work (involving arduinos and other stuff) when I try to research it. Maybe I am just being dense or obtuse.

Do enemies scale?

Since one may import a character from ME2, this led me to think that if one starts with a fresh character, the enemies are most likely 'scaled down' to your level. Is this correct? Are there other instances of enemy scaling in ME3? Is it quite extreme (like it was in Oblivion for example, where suddenly everything was daedric), or does it feel natural?

Skyrim quests/items/place names in other languages

I pre-loaded Skyrim through Steam before release date and it has installed by default using my native language (Italian). The translation has a good quality so I decided to keep it and not switch to English. Now I am encountering some problem when asking for help here because obviously quests but also some items/places names are different. Are there any files inside Skyrim installation that I can use to understand how English terms have been localized to my language? I checked the folder structure and found a folder called > \steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Strings\ It contains various *.strings, *.DLStrings and *.ILStrings files with promising sizes, but they are encoded in some way and unusable in this state.


Where is the claptrap in Old Haven?

![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sscGP.jpg) According to the Borderlands Wikia, the claptrap in Old Haven should be under my crosshair. There's nothing there, though. The only claptrap I've found is on the other side of the bridge, and he looks alive and well, although trapped in a cage. He doesn't want to die, I don't want him to die either, but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it. What's going on?


Escaped Criminal radiant quest - criminal does not spawn

So, I have a quest from Skjor, if I remember correctly, which tells me that a wanted criminal has escaped and was last seen going around The Pale, or something to that effect. The problem is that the objective arrow doesn't lead anywhere - while I'm in Whiterun, the arrow points to the gate leading out of the city; if I'm outside Whiterun, the arrow points to the gate leading back in to the city. I read over on the UESPWiki that it's possible to proceed through the quest using console commands, but they don't seem to work for me. Suggestions, please?


What happens when I capture a petty soul but have only grand soul gems?

When using soul trap on creatures where the soul size doesn't match up with the soul gems I have in my inventory, what exactly happens then? If I capture a soul that is too small for my soul gem, do I automatically waste a large soul gem on a small soul? So, do I have to be careful which souls I trap in order not to waste any soul gems? Or can I happily trap everything and the souls will only go into the correctly-sized soul gems?


Why can't I play co-op in Saints Row 2 with my friend even though we have the same DLC?

How can I use the Skyrim console with a notebook keyboard?

I would like to use `setstage C06 1` command in Skyrim's console, to solve a glitch with the companion quest line. However, I'm using a notebook, and my tilde key is actually my `0` key too, so when I type `0`, it quits the console interface. I tried copying and pasting from outside the game into the console, but that doesn't seem to work, either. The Windows virtual keyboard doesn't help, as well. How can I type this command?

No more zombies in Redcliffe

[Original title: _We don't go to Redcliffe any more_. Changed, alas, to something actually descriptive.] So, I'm trying to defend Redcliffe from the zombie horde coming out of the castle. Unfortunately, I've killed all of the zombies that I can see, and no more seem to be coming, but the NPCs seem to think that something still needs to happen. I can go up to the area where the green mist is, all the way to the castle gate, but I can't go through, and there aren't any obvious plot markers or triggers that I still need to hit. Is this a bug, or did I miss something?

I can't find it anywhere in my loadout screen even though I've unlocked it, and it doesn't seem to be a passive perk that's always on, as I can always be locked onto by enemy aircraft. Is this a bug or am I just missing something?

The other games work just like their arcade counterparts, but when I play _Pole Position_ I can't seem to shift gears and therefore can't pass my computer opponent. Is there a solution, or was this game marketed without the ability to change gears? ![Game](http://i.stack.imgur.com/z89tT.jpg)


Why can't I improve my house in Skyrim?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  I can't upgrade the inside of my house I purchased a house in Whiterun and didn't improve/decorate it when I purchased it. Now, I don't seem to have the option of improving it. As mentioned in this question, I went over to Proventus Avenicci, but the option isn't there. With 1,520 gold I do believe I have enough, so why isn't the option there?


Can I pick items up without unequipping my tool?

I often need to pick up items while I still have a tool out for some reason, particularly when chopping down trees or tending to crops. So far the only way I've found to pick up items is to press Y to put away my tool, then press A to pick items up. Can I pick items up without unequipping my tools?


What's the difference in ships in Wipeout HD?

By default, you have two ships available for every team. One seems to 'outperform' the other on the stats screen. Why would you ever choose the one with lower stats? When unlocking my first ship, I noticed it isn't any better stats-wise. Do you simply unlock new skins?


How can I pickpocket only some of the gold?

There are some people in Skyrim running around with a lot of money, I'd like to relieve them of their burden. Unfortunatly, my pickpocketing skills are not up to it for larger sums of gold. I can steal smaller sums, but for very high amounts of gold I get a 0% chance of pickpocketing. Is there any way to steal only part of the gold someone is carrying?


Does sugarcane grow faster on sand?

I've been playing Minecraft for a while - at first, you could only place it on sand adjacent to water, but then there was the option to grow it on dirt. I had read and always believed that sugarcane could grow on both, but would grow faster on sand. I have experienced this twice in Minecraft, once in the PC version and one in Pocket Edition. Recently, though, I read that they grow the same speed, and that several people have proven it to be that way. I'm really confused now - could someone clear it up for me? Thanks ;)


Can't end a flight when using MechJeb

So after it was suggested in chat, I decided to download and try the Mechanical Jeb plugin. During my trials so far with MechJeb, I've been setting up my staging such that the MechJeb module is discarded prior to re-entry. A strange thing happens when I disconnect this stage: it disappears. After that, everything seems normal, right through splash-down, until I try to end the flight. The confirmation dialog appears, but after that, it doesn't show the flight log, and it's as if I hit Resume Flight instead. I can't access anything other than the settings, and have to close KSP by way of `Alt`+`F4`. This of course means that the progress might not be saved, and when I re-open KSP, that mission can still be selected from the telemetry station. Until I installed MechJeb, this never happened. Can I prevent this from happening by always keeping the MechJeb unit attached? Also, does having it active during the final staging have an effect?

Do weapon specific perks work while dual striking in Skyrim?

In Skyrim, if you do a dual strike, where you hit both attack buttons to hit with both weapons simultaneously, do the weapon-specific perks (sword crit, mace ignore armor, axe... something) apply? There are several combinations of this question I'm wondering about, but I'm guessing they all have the same answer. For example, does Fighting Stance work when you are dual wielding? And do Savage Strike and Dual Savagery stack?


Are items (supplies, ammo, supplements) random?

I'm playing through on Survivor+ and it is very hard to come across items. I'm wondering if items are the same and in the same locations for everyone or if they are randomly generated. If they are random, I would also like to know when the randomness happens. For example: I get a checkpoint and then find a drawer that I can open. When I open the drawer, there is nothing in it. If I keep reloading the checkpoint, is there a chance that I will find something in that drawer?


How can I increase the level of my blue shirts?

Assigning my tactical crew to gun rooms and engaging in ship to ship combat seems to do a very good job of earning them experience. Similarly, sentries allow me to slowly but surely feed experience to my engineers. But I can't seem to find any way to give my science crew enough work that they can progress past rookie. Tossing grenades at my own crew _almost_ works; The crew takes a little bit of damage and the blue shirts get a little xp, but not as much as the engineers get from repairing the ship damage from the same grenade!

How can I stop Minecraft from crashing while going to fullscreen on the Intel HD3000 graphics?

I'm using a laptop with both nVidia and Intel graphics cards. The Intel card is actually fast enough to play Minecraft, and I'd rather not use the nVidia card because it causes the battery life to drop to effectively zero. However, it seems I can't send the game to full screen while using the slower graphics card; it crashes instantly if I do. How can I get the game to go into fullscreen mode?

Guide for improving aim at First Person Shooters in consoles

I have played Half Life and Counter Strike since 2001 and many others since, so I have some years of experience in playing First Person Shooter games on computers, with mouse and keyboard. While I am not very good, I manage to almost always be in top 5 players on my team. However, when I play on the PS3, FPS games like Wolfenstein, or games that are not FPS but occasionally need some aiming like Uncharted or Fallout 3, I am totally lame, and end up dying even on easy difficulties. Has someone with the same problem published a guide that I will be able to follow and improve myself?

Which strategy best ensures survival?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How do I keep up with the power curve? So, currently I've only managed to get a high score of 1200. I tend to play in my lunchbreak as most games only last about 25 minutes. I have tried to race through the game, avoiding conflict where I can and this proved to be effective to get me 6 sectors in before I died to an uncontrollable blaze, systems outage, solar flares and a 5 man mantis boarding party.

Does Syndra's Scatter the Weak damage scale with spheres?

Syndra's Scatter the Weak does a number of things that are a little hard to understand: > (Active): Knocks enemies and Dark Spheres back, dealing magic damage to them > and any enemies they collide with. The distance of the knockback increases > depending on how close the affected units are to Syndra upon cast. Dark > Spheres that are knocked back also stun all enemies in their path for 1.5 > seconds (source). It's clear that enemies will take damage and also damage those who they collide with. It's also clear that anyone who has a sphere pushed through them will be stunned. However, it sort of suggests that when spheres go through an enemy they deal damage. Does this damage scale with the number of spheres? Or is damage not dealt at all by the spheres, and they only stun?


Need help with Minecraft Graphics Bug

Ok so I have been playing Minecraft on this computer for at least a month and suddenly I start getting graphics glitches.

Better gear in AH than heirloom for Death Knight

I am interested in starting a DK. Since DKs start @ level 55, I was wondering if there are higher DPS trinkets available in the AH than the heirloom trinkets available?

What are the limits of a turret's attack range?

When you are standing under an enemy turret, but are not its target (say you are with a creep wave), damaging an enemy will make the turret target you. Does this have a range? For example, if you are a champion like Teemo or Caitlyn that can place shrooms/traps that damage enemies, and an enemy walks into a trap in a different lane, will this cause the turret to attack you? Is this possibly any different for more active long distance attacks (like Ashe or Ezreal's ulti)?

So i installed age of empire 3 complete edition, but when i launch the game, I can either "play Age of empire 3 complete edition", "Age of empire 3 : The war chiefs" or "Age of empire 3 : The asian dynasties". I was wondering how can I play the content of both expansion at the same time. Does whatever option i choose, i will get all the content of all the expansion (map, civilization, unit, game mechanic) and its just the campaign of that expansion that wont be available, or do I have to choose a particular launch option like the latest expansion that will also load previous expansion content?


How do I line up villages next to each other?

I'm trying to build a Iron Golem farm, and actually understand the logic behind it. To make it efficient, I've seen setups with multiple villages next to each other to increase the spawn rate, but I don't know how to do that. I know that villages are defined by doors with a block above them (to simulate a roof I guess), but how do I line up separate villages next to each other? I guess it's a certain order/pattern to placing/breaking doors, but that's just my guess. If it matters, I'm using snapshot 14W21B.

Is there a way to force a vampire attack to occur?

By vampire attack, I mean any of the encounters that spawn a vampire that can attack with Vampiric Drain, such as the "Vampire Trick" encounter or the "Vigilants fighting Vampire" encounter. But I do not mean meet a vampire as part of a (non-Radiant) quest. Particularly, I want to cross a vampire (that can spawn via vanilla or vanilla DLC) by or at Riverwood, after escaping Helgen. This is to contract Sanguinare Vampiris ASAP. Can I—via mod, console, or exploit—ensure that a vampire encounter will occur? Not tagged as Dawnguard because of the vanilla "Vampire Attack" encounter. The question could be changed to, is there a way to force a specific random event to occur, to be more useful. Alternatively, yet a different question, is there a way to contract Sanguinare Vampiris sooner than it takes to get from Helgen escape to Whiterun (stables)?

So If you bought this on Ebay like me try to get a refund as soon as possible.

StarCraft 2 forcing a game that keeps army sizes smaller

**What I'm wondering is:** if anyone can suggest a strategy to keep the game from becoming about building an overwhelming Army, but instead about smaller (and perhaps simultaneous) engagements? After watching some VODs online I've noticed that army sizes increase as the game progresses. Which makes sense, because as the economy of each player increases they are able to produce more and more units, and build more and more structures (or have built more structures). I think I see smaller Armies in the Pro games (anybody agree with that?). (Yes, eventually one force gains enough of a lead to make the large, overwhelming army -- and it usually is near the end of the game).

Why can't I destroy or place blocks?

I'm playing on a Survival world with cheats on, "easy" difficulty, and at night in-game. I didn't have a sword or anything to make a sword with, and I was starving, so I switched to Creative to give myself a stack of food and a bed to set my spawn point. When I switched back to Survival, I couldn't destroy or place blocks. I'm on single player, and my Internet is fine, and I can destroy blocks still if I switch to creative. I've tried resetting the button one, and reloading the map, and it still doesn't work. I've even tried deleting everything I gave myself in Creative. This happened before on a different world and I ended up deleting it. This only happens on this world. How do I fix it? If I know I'm in the correct game mode, what else can cause this? Are there different causes in multiplayer?

Blocks won't break unless with right tools?

Recently I've been playing Minecraft with my brother on LAN. This morning I found that I couldn't destroy any blocks except with the right tool type, eg: shovels for sand/dirt and pickaxes for rock, etc. The main problem is that I got stuck down a tunnel with no pickaxes or shovels, and I couldn't leave until my brother came with supplies. I'm playing survival and using the survival island seed which is amazing. Any help will be appreciated and just to be sure, I'm not on adventure, and I can't dig anything bare hand, or shovels dig stone, or pickaxe dig dirt.


I can't break blocks

So, I've been playing minecraft for a while. I stopped playing for a few weeks, and when I get back on in singleplayer creative and in servers it sometimes lets me break blocks and sometimes doesn't. Why is it doing this? And how can I fix it? I've tried everything I can think of. Resetting my laptop, relogging into minecraft, moving sensitivity up.

I'm using version 1.7.9 and earlier today (18th of June) I was able to most normally break blocks. I've been playing this world for a while and it still won't work. How do I fix this?


I can't dig certain materials in Minecraft

We can fly so def in creative mode. Please help as she is getting really upset that she has spent £17 and can not get it to work. She plays on the iPad with no problem but wanted the extra options you get on the PC. Thanks


Does using bare hands increase 1-hand or 2-hand skill level, and do those weapon skills apply to bare hands?

I was wondering if by attacking bare handed, you increase your 1-hand (or 2-hands) weapon skill mastery. Also, do that weapon's branch perks apply to unarmed attacks? Since there are items like armored gloves and skills like Iron Fists that boost unarmed combat, I thought the developers wanted you to take interest in that option (since Khajit as example, deal even more damage thanks to claws), and that fighting unarmed would affect at least the 1-hand skill increase. Yet, I never ever saw my weapon (nor 1- nor 2-handed) skill bars increase while fighting unarmed. And by the way, do the Khajiits's +15 claw bonus mean that every one-hand weapon below damage 15 is useless? (Aside for reach, magical bonuses, and any one-hand skill you bought of course.) What about Skills? Does, as an example, "Backstab" skill bonus apply just to any 1-hand weapons, or to barehand too? Can I, say, do a stealthy instant kill from behind when unarmed? Like breaking the neck maybe? And do other Skills like Paralyzing Strike, Bladesman, Bonebraker apply to barehands as well?


What are Feltrite Crystals traded for in Rage?

Which champions are suited to League of Legends Dominion Map (and which should be avoided)?

I'm not regularly playing League of Legends as a pre-made team and was wondering which champions are more suited to playing the Dominion map.

Sword of the Divine on Riven

Is Sword of the Divine an item good enough on Riven that I should be considering running on her and replacing another one for example: The Bloodthirster, Hydra or Last Whisper? I saw a video of BoxBox ( A Diamond streamer that plays ONLY Riven, in case you don't know him ) and he tried to run Sword of the Divine on Riven. He wasn't that much ahead when he builded that item on her and he made a solo quadra kill, like, completely alone, outplaying everyone while activating this item to take out the the ADC and Yasuo almost instantly. So I'm thinking. If I'm able to execute the active of that item perfectly after some practice ( With perfectly I mean, when it's needed ), should I consider running this item instead of another one? And if yes with what should I replace it considering that my current build on Riven most of the time is:   * Ionian Boots of Lucidity   * Ravenous Hydra   * The Black Cleaver   * Last Whisper   * The Bloodthirster   * Guardian Angel

PVZ2 Far Future incorrectly displays 24/25 levels beaten

I've beaten all the levels in PVZ2's Far Future world, they are all blue, including the Dr Zomboss level - it shows the hologram of him with the bandaid. But if I go out to the world selection screen, it says 24/25 levels beaten under the Far Future world. Is this a bug? I've tried to replay the Zomboss level so that it registers but it won't let me. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/u7Euf.jpg)

Is there an English version of The Typing of the Dead 2?

Most sources claim there is none, but they are from 2009.


Kingdom Hearts Timeline

I recently started playing the Kingdom Hearts series (for the first time - I realise this is a little delayed) and am kind of confused at the sheer number of games there are and the amount of platforms they are available on. Could someone provide me with a SPOILER FREE timeline in which the games take place (im sure this information is out there some where - I'm just cautious to look it up because i've already ruined a few bits of the story for myself trying to do so). Also am I right in saying that on Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2 and the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3 (Dream Drop Distance) are the only games that are part of the 'CORE' story?


Are there factors outside of time and damage taken that affect merit in Commandos:Behind Enemy Lines?

At the end of each mission in Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, merit is awarded, and the player may be promoted for excellent performance. Enough promotions are supposed to grant access to a secret mission. The game manual says that merit is mostly awarded for time taken and damage sustained, and that enemy casualties are irrelevant. It does not confirm nor deny that those are the only factors however. The mission completion screen looks like this: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/L7nHD.png) Merit has zero stars because it's like an experience bar, when maxed it goes to the next level. Most of my missions look exactly like this, but without the promotion message and with 3 stars lighted up for merit, indicating only half the maximum amount gained. I have been doing the missions and achieving some amazing speeds by having all characters doing different things at the same time, and my "time" meter is always full. However, this rarely results in a promotion, and I always restart the mission until it does. Are there other factors that affect merit gained and are not reflected in the end screen? Which? Is it all about time, with the end screen giving three stars for speeds that are good but not enough to rank up, and the same three stars for truly awesome haste?


How much should we spend on wards?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Tips for warding in League of Legends? I have recently started playing support. So far I am doing pretty well supporting but I have trouble with one thing. How much gold should I split between buying wards and buying items. I start out with 2 wards. Then afterwards I buy like 3 wards at each recall. But my teammates complained and said I should be buying more wards than that. So of course I started buying at least 5 wards each time. But then they complained that I didn't have any good support items and that I should work on that. Well come on guys, I only have so much gold. And yes I do build the gold per 5 items. Typically philosophers stone first. So my question is, as the support on a team, how much wards should i buy at each recall, or maybe what percentage of my gold should i dedicate to wards?

Cannot connect to Counter Strike 1.6 LAN over WiFi

I have a network of a few computers connected over wired LAN, and they are all able to play Counter Strike. But connecting a laptop to the network via WiFi just doesn't work. The problem is that I cant find the server from the laptop. I don't think the problem is network related, I can access files of the other computers on the LAN network, via WiFi. It shouldn't have anything to do with the router configuration because it works on one laptop but not the rest. How do I configure the laptop to connect to the Counterstrike server over WiFi?

How do I beat Mad Mike on Borderlands 2? I am currently at level 11 on the mission where you have to rescue roland and I am inside the base. I've killed all the other enemies.

Once I go back to face Mad Mike, he is already back to full health. Are there any strategies?

Does the 'Fiery Soul Trap' enchantment's Soul Trap effect work properly on certain enchant-able weapons with unique properties?

I have tried enchanting both a Silver Greatsword (described in-game as _"Especially effective against the Undead"_ ) and The Longhammer (described in-game as " _Rahd's hammer, the reduced weight allows it to be swung more quickly"_ ) with the Fiery Soul Trap enchantment (TES Wikia link) (which is also a unique enchantment in itself, in that it contains two effects in one enchantment: 10 pts. Fire Damage, and Soul Trap), but in my many attempts to use both, they aren't able to absorb any souls . I checked if I have spare empty Soul Gems of the appropriate size, and I do. I always try to deal the killing blow, but I don't get the captured soul animation nor do I notice my Soul Gems filling up. When I enchant, I use a Black Soul Gem with a Grand Soul inside, and set the Soul Trap effect to '2 seconds'. The Fire Damage effect of Fiery Soul Trap is fixed at 10 pts. The enchanted item gives that purple glow (meaning that it has been enchanted) and its Fire Damage enchantment seems to work fine (enemies are lit on fire). Note that both weapons already have unique effects but can still be enchanted. Other details:   * My character which experienced this issue is a Breton.    * My character does not have the 'Extra Effect' enchanting perk ( _can put two enchantments on the same item_ ). (In a normal weapon with no unique properties, you don't need the 'Extra Effect' perk to enchant with Fiery Soul Trap (both Fire Damage and Soul Trap will still work fine).)   * I'm using the mods: Unofficial Skyrim Patch, Weapons and Armor Fixes and Smithing Perks Overhaul. My full mod list here. **Is this because the Fiery Soul Trap enchantment's Soul Trap effect won't work properly on enchant-able items that already have unique effects?   If yes, is there a workaround for this (other methods, console commands or mods) that can force 'Fiery Soul Trap' to work on these weapons?**

What hero abilities can kill illusion heroes instantly (or close to instakilling)?

My question is similar to this one, except that I'm looking for heroes with skills that can kill illusions easily without physical/AoE damage. I played a game where opposite team had both Naga Siren and Chaos Knight. I don't really remember what I was playing or who my teammates were playing as, but I remember we got crushed badly. I know AoE heroes that do mass damage can take care of illusions decently (Sven), or a hero with massive Aoe spell damage would do too (CM, SK). However, are there any heroes who can naturally kill illusions almost instantly? Also, do these skills make that hero worthy as a counter-draft, or is the better strategy just to stick with AoE damage? Ones that I know of:   * **Medusa** \- _Stone Gaze_ , if petrified successfully, all petrified illusions die immediately   * **Disruptor** \- _Glimpse_ , will instakill a single illusion

Why does a Healer gain EXP then they don't kill an enemy

In general I'm just wondering how the effects of resources work? Are resources necessary for certain military, cultural, or trade buildings? Do they give public order bonuses?

Does the Wii/Wii U sensor bar need to be plugged into the console to function?

a graceful optional station

I've built roughly 3000 blocks worth of underground railway in my Survival game. There are stations along the way, near interesting features of terrain that require me to press button to continue. Considering the length of the line, the obligatory stops are becoming tiresome. Currently I've made it so that return trip bypasses the stations, but it's still not optimal. I'd like a way to choose whether I stop or continue before entering the station. Now the simple way is to hop out of the running cart and then either chase it down or use a rider detector to dump the empty cart onto a side track. That's not very elegant though. I tried a switch, to switch the railway track before entering the station. Problem: I approach the station really fast and the switch is small. Hitting the switch while on the move is hard, I miss more frequently than I hit it. The stations are a bit too far apart to send a redstone signal from the start station to pick my goal. So, are there any graceful techniques how to decide upon a turn or stop of the cart while moving in it fast?

Is it possible to catch Mewtwo more than once?

If you make Mewtwo feint he will disappear from the cave. The way to get him back, as far as I know, is to go and beat the Elite 4 again upon which he'll return to the cave. If you capture him, can you go repeat the Elite 4 and capture a second Mewtwo from the cave similar to how accidentally beating him will spawn another after the Elite 4 are beaten? This would be particularly convenient for trading the X or Y Specific mega evolutions with a friend or family member who has the opposite game. Edit: I guess this question could also pertain to other legendaries like Zygarde, Moltres, Zapdos & Articuono.

Why do Starcraft 2 leagues award playing, rather than winning?

In other league systems I'm aware of, you gain points by winning, and lose points by losing. On average, if you play against similar-skill opponents and you win and lose the same number of matches, your score will not improve. In Starcraft 2 leagues (if I understand correctly), you actually gain points from playing two games, losing one of them and winning another. So, at the end of the season, the top-ranked players will be those that played the most, and not necessarily those that are the best or won the most games. Why was this ranking model chosen despite this drawback?


How can I show the leader's health of each team and make it say the other team won

I'm making a Minecraft mini-game called "Clan Wars". You have to try to kill the other team's leader then you team wins! The problem is I would like the scoreboard to show the leaders' health and under both leaders' health, show all the players and the team they are on. When the leader is dead on the red side, for example, it says blue won and teleports all the players back to the lobby. If you need more information, comment below and I will edit those details in soon! {I would rather it not be a pressure plate because a player can still activate it} I have tried looking up testfor commands to do something like [testfor entity=ocelot x z y] but it doesn't work


Teleporting back to the ship

I don't understand why I can't get to do this, but how do I send my units back to my ship? I tried three times now and I can't seem to be able to get my units back (RIP 2 mantis on my last run). Do I have to be in the same ship to be able to teleport them back? Should I only teleport to ships with teleporing systems?


Best way to counter Teemo top?

I have been playing many ranked matches with my main, Wukong, and I cant seem to touch Teemo top. Any good counters?


Are there any recurring South Park characters who do not appear in Stick of Truth?

Stick of Truth did a great job at fitting a huge amount of memorable characters from 17 seasons of South Park into a single video game. But didn't they forget someone? Is there any recurring South Park character who does not appear at all in Stick of Truth? I would consider any character as "recurring" who has a speaking role in more than one South Park episode. As "appearance in the game" I would count any on-screen depiction - be it in form of an actual character or just a still picture, the character not appearing on-screen but having a spoken line, or the character being mentioned by name in dialog or text.
