What's the maximum inventory size?

You can increase your inventory size 10 slots at a time for an expenditure of Pax Romana. What is the maximum size your inventory can reach in this manner? Do you ever have to do anything other than spend PAX?


How can I play Yobi's Basic Spelling Tricks on 64-bit Windows 7?

I don't know if you guys know the old PV game known as Yobi's Basic Spelling tricks. I think some people just refer to it as Spelling Jungle as well, its from the late 90s. Anyways, does anyone know of a way I could potentially play this again with a Windows 7 64 bit computer? I can only think of downloading an old virtual machine to play it.


If the teacher dies of old age students were kicked out?

My teacher died of old age and all my students were kicked out. As far as I know, 'uneducated' people can never go back to school. How can I prevent students from being kicked out?   Can I 'queue' a replacement teacher in such a case?


What are the various Horde mode fortifications in Gears of War 3  and how do they work?

1. What are all of the fortifications you can buy in Horde mode?    2. How do upgrades effect them and how do you upgrade them? - _When I was playing and I wanted to upgrade, it said 'upgrade locked', even if I had a lot of cash_   3. How do the upgrades effect said upgrade? Example, how much more effective are Razor wire barriers in comparison to the lower level barrier, the spikes?    4. Are upgrades based on the team, or are they individual? i.e, if I personally unlock level 2 barriers, can my whole team use them?    5. Do fortifications last from wave 1-50 if you defend them, or do they disappear after the bosses?


When do implants drop?

Implants have been added to the game recently. You can obtain a random one from "things such as capturing bases, killing enemies, and potentially support actions and alerts". That's too vague for my taste. So exactly what actions can award an implant? Is it just random chance for each action, or is there some internal counter that triggers an award at specific intervals? Are all such actions equal in terms of implant awards?


How do I get past the laser detectors in the mission Searching for Proof?

I'm playing through the Searching for Proof mission in Deus Ex Human Revolution. I've gotten to the part where there are the sweeping laser detectors. I couldn't figure out how to get past, so I found a walkthrough and it shows the below laser gate flickering and going out so that you can slip through. However, for me it never flickers and remains constantly on. Is this a bug or did I miss something? ![laser door](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ENuEP.jpg)

Cut-Scene Archive in Mass Effect Series

I'd like to review some scenes to refresh my own memory, straight from the source, regarding some of the events in the Mass Effect games. Is there some sort of cut-scene archive in any of the games, for this purpose? Or can this only be done by re-playing the sections of the game I'm interested in? NOTE: I'm playing on the PS3 now, so I'm not optimistic about finding a good answer for my platform. But I'd be interested to know if at least the PC version had some way to access previously-viewed videos.


How do I get the hi-hat to the right place in RB3 Pro drum kit?

Is there any way to set up the RB3 drum kit + cymbals so that the hi-hat (yellow cymbal) is straight above the snare? It would be nice to be able to use either hand for the snare while playing running sixteenth notes on the hi- hat. Actually, failing that, I'd really rather have the hi-hat to the left of the snare so I can play the snare with my right hand. Harmonix seems to have been aware of this issue when charting basic drums; on songs where it comes up, they chart hi-hat as red and snare as yellow. It seems strange that they'd ignore it for Pro Drums.


How can I make personal notes on the map?

Easily getting rid of items

I'm hitting the 2000 items limit. I find it very time consuming to drop or recycle every item with 3 taps. The easiest way to get rid of xmps is to just fire them. But what about the other item types?


When I fire a XMP burster while moving, where is the center of the damage area?

How to spec a Shaman for leveling and instancing in WoW?

I have a dilema - before starting a shaman I did some reading on what to spec it as, and most articles said to go for Enhancement, since that's the best for leveling - I did just that. Just the other day, I decided to go to my first instance (Deadmines), and I selected myself as healer (which may or may not have been the best thing to do?). As we were going through, I tried my best healing with the 1 healing spell I had. Half way through the instance, things started hitting significantly harder, and I couldn't heal fast enough, so the tank died, twice (2 hitter deaths) - next thing I know, I Was kicked from the group. I guess my question is - what did I do wrong? I was literally chain casting that healing spell. Should I have gone for DPS instead of the healer? Should I respec to restoration? How will that affect my leveling? I was completely demoralised after being kicked - totally killing my want to play the game in general. Any tips from other shamans on the spec?


How can you beat Frank the Zombie with an assassin in Desktop Dungeons?

I have been trying and trying and it seems that what makes this a hard thing to do is because there are two bosses. I have tried this with human assassin (to maximize damage) and have been using some mid-battle leveling. I beat the other boss (a lvl 10 wraith) at level 8 (or was it 7?) and the problem was running out of other high level enemies (i was left with like 5 level 1s and a level 9+ frank. Since everyone was immune to poison, i just converted my starting glyph to damage and my final damage (at level 9) was 85. Frank had 650+ hp and I already ran out of MPs and pots and I only had like 3 HP potions left (which wasn't enough). Is there something I'm missing with mid-level battling? Is it really just too hard to beat with an assassin and will require some epic luck? I have also tried polymorphing all the enemies (jehora) at one point and the wraith was transformed into a golem but frank stayed the same.


How do I fix Hexxit giving me a white screen when starting Minecraft?

When I open Hexxit it sets everything up normally, but I notice that when it's loading it stays at 0% and doesn't load at all. Then when it sets up and goes to my Hexxit launch screen (the Mojang screen) and FML loads, it says, "validated Minecraft." Then it turns all white and doesn't ever go to the title screen, so I can't play Hexxit! How do I fix this? I'm running Windows 8.


Maximizing the 4 weeks of training before a fight

In Fight Night Round 4, in the Legacy mode, how do I efficiently use the 4 weeks of training before a fight?   Is it better to start to start with Skills training or Athletics training?   Is it OK to start the fight week without 100% stamina? I usually do one Skills training (removing 50% stamina) then two athletics trainings (one at 10% et one at 20%). I then finish three weeks with 20% stamina and use the last week to rest and retrieve 80% of stamina, starting my fight at 100%. The issue I have is that with a single Skills training, I think I do not win enough XP, and being now approximately #30, the other boxers are more evolved than I am in stats.   Would it then be better to do Skills Tr./Rest/Skills Train./Rest to win more XP? But then what about the Athletics trainings?   Help me with this athlete's dilemma (With all the jabs in my face, I probably don't have enough brain cells remaining... :)

What advantage is there to staying in the air?

There are some sections of tracks that allow you to deploy your hang glider or parachute. This allows you to glide in relative safety until you hit the track again. But you can also hit forward or back on the control stick to tilt down or up, respectively. Is there an advantage to staying in the air? Or does heading back down towards the track give you more speed than just gliding along?

How do I properly place a mine?

I've expanded my city to the other side of the river, where there's a mountain. I assumed I would be able to build a mine on this mountain, but I cannot find a location around the mountain in which each square of my mine is green (there's always at least one red square). How do I properly place a mine (i.e. what are the placement requirements)? Is there a way I can force the terrain to accept a mine at a given location?


Can I create a new house in Hearthfire?

I went back to Skyrim after a long time off to check out Hearthfire. I read that one can construct a new house, protect it from baddies, etc. However, the only thing I've been able to do is modify one of my old, existing houses to swap out an alchemy lab for a kid's bedroom, and adopt a kid. Is that it? I suspect I may have another quest or two to go, but I don't see it in my quest log (which is still somewhat full...) What am I missing?

What counts as 'close combat' in Hitman: Blood Money?

The last time I played the game, I got 3 "close combat kills" on the second mission "a vintage year" and 1 accidents which didn't give me 'Silent Assassin' rating. So, I looked it up what I was doing wrong in order to achieve the rating. I used 2 fiberwire kills so I guess that's what counted towards "Close combat kills". I want to know what else counts as combats? Such as if:   1. Throwing/Pushing someone over the rail or into the water   2. Knocking someone out while holding them as shield.   3. Injecting them with poison   4. Injecting them with sedative   5. Shooting them with gun Which of these would count as "close combat kills"? After watching a gameplay video on youtube it seems that only 3rd in above list counts as close combats but I'm not sure about this. How does it affect my 'Silent Assassin' rating?


Does the Gunner Mod from the Pathfinder Armor work on stationary guns in addition to vehicle guns

Some turrets have an overheat element just like those found on vehicles. Does the gunner mod improve stationary gun overheat, or does it just work on vehicles and improve walking speed with detached turrets?


Is it possible to create an iron door which responds to levers on both sides

In order to protect a portal in the nether I have an obsidian room with an iron door, which works off a switch in the room. The problem is that if I leave the room and someone else on the server closes the door from the inside I can't get back to that portal. Powering red stone on the outside of the door doesn't seem to work, as the switch inside is already powering it, so I'm guessing something like an XOR gate will be the solution, however I am finding it difficult to see how to make this work in practice.

What options are there to expand the inventory?

In Guild Wars 1, there were a handful of options to get a bigger inventory/carrying space. Examples are the special bags that offered more slots than four, or bags in which you could stuff weapons and armor. Is such a feature available in GW2 as well ? The other day I found a different colored bag that offered a few more slots than a general bag, but I wonder what the maximum is, and if you can actively seek possession of such items.

Pretty sure I've seen this cone appear orange as well.

Alteration vs Light armor for roleplaying purposes

I am planning to get into the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood questlines. My character is a sort of a Battlemage with Heavy Armor, Destruction, One Handed, Illusion, Smithing and Enchanting focus. As of yet, I have maxed Sneak. I am currently at level 62, have about 3 spare perk points and a perspective to grow to about level 70. I was wondering, whether I should pick up Light Armor or Alteration, as a Thief or Assassin in full Daedric armor is a bit silly. You know - you can't sneak in them, even if the game thinks you can. So basically I can't decide which skill to pick. I have invested in Silent Casting, so as to utilize both Spells and Weapons in an effort to make my character a sort of magical assassin. Alteration seems to have cooler perks and isn't as redundant as Light Armor to my hero, yet I still can't decide whether it's a viable choice for a Thief. You know - evil Dark Brotherhood killer can use it, but Thieves guild members aren't exactly known for their skill in magic. Another point is, that I don't have that many perks left to acquire and I have been considering that I could also learn Archery. In this regard Light Armor seems better, as it doesn't require such a heavy perk investment. So what do you think is more appropriate?


Where to sell Dragon Bones and Scales

There's a great question on what to _do_ with dragon bones and scales, and there's even a question on whether you can _buy_ them, but the question I'm after: _**Question:** Where can one sell those blasted Dragon Bones and Scales? Is there a list of merchants that will buy them?_ Edit: I'm not looking for just _a_ vendor, but preferably a list of vendors (as I've collected about 25 of the them). The ultimate answer would also have an indication of (approximate) amount of gold available on the merchant. After some searching I found a list of merchants on the Skyrim Wiki, but that doesn't answer my question. The page on Dragon Bone gives a little bit of info on selling them, but no clue on _where_ to sell them. My follower would certainly be very thankful for any answer to this question, as she's probably getting tired of hauling this loot around...


Why would anyone want an enemy to flee combat?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Is there any reason to use the fear spell over the calm spell? I come across lots of weapons with an enchantment effect that makes certain- level enemies flee from combat for a period of time. Why would anyone want to do this? I haven't tried it myself, but I can only theorize that it does what it says it does: When hit, enemy starts running in the opposite direction of the player for X seconds, after which it regains its desire to fight again. Doesn't this just prolong what could otherwise be a much quicker fight? Additionally, these enchanted weapons usually only work for lower-level enemies. By the time you find them, you're up against much stronger enemies which would most likely be unaffected by the effect anyway.


How do I unlock the final gadget?

Apparently, this gadget is called a Freeze Cluster. How do I unlock the Freeze Cluster?

How can I improve my search effectiveness early on?

Ok, asked this in chat, but was advised to move to the main site. I have been playing a lawful dwarf Valkyrie as I'd heard this is one of the easier classes to start with. I am still learning the ins and outs, so I figured that this class would allow me to ease into the finer points of the game. Anyway, I have been noticing some oddities in my dungeon levels (at low levels, say within the first 3-ish floors). I will normally try to explore the level to the fullest, but often I will run into corridors that suddenly dead- end. It strikes me as odd, since normally I would expect these corridors to end with a room. Many times, repeated searching will not often help get me farther. I know there has to be something there, because generally when I run into this, I have maybe explored (what I think) is only a quarter of the level. For example, I'll hear a shopkeeper, or a naiad splashing, and yet there will be no shops that I can see, or any fountains. I was told in chat that increasing my Wisdom would help my chances of searching, but   1. How can I increase my Wisdom?   2. Are there any other methods available to a low-level character?


What's going on when it looks like a 6-damage attack knocked out 29 HP and killed me?

I just started playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (I'm maybe twenty short games in) and there are tons of things that I'm learning as I play, of course. But I don't even know how to look this one up. A game just ended with the following description: > Bob the Skirmisher (level 4, -1/34 HPs)   >  Began as a Demonspawn Abyssal Knight on Aug 14, 2012.   >  Was a Believer of Lugonu.   >  Killed from afar by an orc wizard (6 damage)   >  ... with a magic dart   > > > ... on Level 3 of the Dungeon.   >  The game lasted 00:33:21 (2345 turns). The problem is that I had 29 HP before the attack and there was nothing else on the log of events. These orc wizards are bad-asses and I was prepared to flee if I needed to; they've killed me three or four times before. But I just went from healthy to dead with no explanation... Update: So the orc electrocuted me and I guess I paged through the info to the next screen of or something. From the morgue file: > The orc wizard hits you but does no damage.   >  You are electrocuted!   >  Ouch! That really hurt!   >  * * * LOW HITPOINT WARNING * * *   >  The orc wizard points at you and mumbles some strange words.   >  The magic dart hits you!   >  You die...

How Do Cursed Chests Work?

With the new 2.0 update, Blizzard introduced Cursed Chests into Diablo 3. I don't really understand how they work. When I opened the cursed chest I found it triggered an event. A timer started and I was told that if I kill 100 enemies I get some kind of additional prize. I started slashing my way through enemies. I didn't make it to 100 but I did make it to around 50. After the timer expired, a message popped up on my screen that said, "You killed 0 enemies before the timer ran out." Umm, no I didn't. I saw where I had killed at least 50 enemies. Is this a bug or am I not understanding how these things work? Do I have to get to 100 monsters for it to count at all? What happens if I do hit 100 monsters? I just need to know everything about cursed chests.

How does the StarCraft 2 region lock work?

Does someone who wants to play the North America and Latin America versions of StarCraft 2 need to buy two keys, or is just one key enough to install both game clients? I'm not sure about this on SC2, as when i go to download the game client installer[1], there is two different options, one for L.A. (in Spanish and Portuguese) and other for N.A. (just English). Also, when i click "Change Region" on the link [1], i got the following warning: > Select your region carefully. > > You will only **be able to play with people in the same region** , and **not > all languages available to each region**. Select the region closest in > proximity to help ensure the best game performance. North America and Latin America are 2 different regions in this list. (But this is my question... just the game client is region locked or my account (cd-key) is region locked too?) [1] https://us.battle.net/account/management/sc2/pre-download-page.html PS: I want to play the single-player campaign in English (cause i don't like the translation that blizzard did to Portuguese), but i want to play with my friends and a lot of them are going to buy the "Portuguese version" on stores here in Brazil.


Does the suppressor (silencer) attachment do anything for you in hardcore matches? I understand that it lessens the flash and sound of the gun, but compared to core games it seems a bit less useful. For a while I _thought_ I noticed that when you were killed by a gun with a silencer, it didn't tell you what direction the shot came from with the death camera (the camera immediately after you die; I'm not talking about the kill camera, since there's no kill camera in hardcore).

What good is a decoy grenade in hardcore matches? Do they fool anything else like sentry guns?

In Quake, what's the difference between Armour and Health?

Obviously when your health is 100 you can't pick up any more (normal) health, but you can add armour. But do they act different against damage? Or is armour just extended health? When you've hit with armour, you do lose health too. Would it be better then to have 80 health, or like 50 health with 20 armour ? (wild value guesses)

Specific strategy for Order decks when playing the "Death from Above" trial

I don't have a lot of time, so I only get to play 1 or 2 rounds a day. I'm curious, has anyone found an effective strategy agains the "easy" trial, _Death from Above_? My problem is that the lobbers are to powerful to be taken out in the first few turns. Furthermore, the pre-constructed order deck tends to have a lot of units that can't stand to many hits from the 3 lobbers that the opponent starts with. So, after sacrificing a few scrolls for some resources and then finally getting a couple units on the board, they are destroyed before I can enhance them or they get a chance to attack. If they do attack, some how my opponent manages to heal them. It's a quick, vicious cycle and I can not beat this EASY trial! I feel like I'm missing something. If this is suppose to be "easy", what am I doing wrong. FYI, I've found GrumpyCat's YouTube video on Order strategy. It's helped me a lot with all my other trials and AI battles but this one trial has been painfully difficult. Does anyone have any specific suggestions for _Death from Above_?

What's the size of the largest patch on Wii U so far?

I'm considering buying a Wii U Basic set, but I really do not want to attach external hard drive to the system. I know that it's little opionated, but still, if I would use only disk based games (say 10 at max) and would download about 10 SNES games from virtual console, would internal 3GB would be enough for saved games and possible patches? As @fbueckert correctly mentioned that that's depend on particular games, I reformulate question a bit: what's the largest patch on Wii U so far (if patches are applied in stack then full patches stack size)?


Quick way of selling at the trading post?

Is there a way to quickly sell goods at the trading post in GW2? I know there is the sell at trading post option by right clicking the desired item but that loads up the trading post every time and can not be considered a fast method to say the least. Lets say i went exploring and came back with bags and bags full of stuff i want to sell. Loading the trading post is fine but having to load the trading post every time over and over again takes a long time to do. I am aware that i dont have to close the window of the trading post every time but simply selecting the next item and selling it makes it take a long time for the trading post to come back with the prices. My question today: Is there a quick way to sell stuff at the trading post besides right clicking.


Ancient Golem Stats

Bad Company 2 Vietnam compatibility

A friend of mine bought the Vietnam expansion in the Playstation Store and tried to share with me. I downloaded the expansion with the account he provided, but it didn't work, the option to play Vietnam didn't show on my game's menu. My Bad Company 2 copy is from Hong Kong, and he said it might be because the account he used to buy his Vietnam expansion was from the UK. If I buy the expansion myself with my US account, will it work for my copy of the game? Is there a way to know beforehand if it will work?

I picked up BotF, and keep getting massively outclassed by the computer - as in, my destroyer meets a fleet of nine ships (including some capitals), when I may have managed to build nine ships _total_ up to that point. Is there a "best practice" starting build chain?


How does my choice of weapon matter?

Since normal attacks seem to be right out in this game, I'm not sure if it matters what weapons I'm using. I understand that the damage of my weapon affects the damage of my skills (for some bizarre reason) but beyond that nothing seems to matter. For example, I seem to be able to equip bows, but I have no way to shoot them that I can determine! So, if I have a bow that does 10 DPS and a dagger that does 10 DPS (assuming my other hand is empty anyway for argument's sake) aren't these identical in everything but appearance? Also, most of my skills seem to be elemental, so if I have an elemental damage weapon, how does that damage get applied? As what type? Again, should I just go for whatever is highest? Sorry if this is a dumb question—I almost feel like the help text must have explained this and I simply missed it because this seems incredibly counterintuitive to me. (Searched and couldn't find any question that addressed this directly, but apologies if I missed one.)


How do I light an unlit torch?

In NEO Scavenger I have crafted a quality torch (unlit) and now I want to light it but I can't work out how. I've tried combining it with my campfire or the lighter but it just reverses the torch into wood and kindling.

When I try to run Angry Birds, I get a resolution error. How do I fix this?

Any use other than selling for items whose 'Recommended Use' is 'Sell"?

In Far Cry 3, when looking at items in your loot rucksack, each item has a 'Recommended Use.' Some say to craft certain things with them, but others simply say 'Sell.' I was wondering if there is any reason (needed for a quest/achievement/trophy/crafting later) to hold on to any of the items that they recommend to sell or if I might as well sell them all. I'd hate to take up room in my rucksack for things that I should just sell anyway, but I'd also hate to sell my Batteries just to find a quest to bring someone 10 batteries later.


Does Call Of Duty: Black Ops from Direct2Drive require Steam?

As the title says I cant seem to find any information about this , it does have a notice saying it requires 3rd party software but it doesn't say what. The other reason I ask is because MW2 always required steam and there was no alternative and I dont want to buy it from steam again.


Is there a way to add furniture to Minecraft SMP?

I've already investigated the mod FancyPack, and it is only for single-player. Is there any way to add furniture to Minecraft SMP? Just to make it clear, as I'm being pinged once a month by someone who hasn't understood the question or read the existing "answers":   * Yes, **everyone on the server would have to install the mod**. I realize that this is the case and have no problem with it. I'm not looking for a work-around of this.   * No, **faking furniture with existing blocks does not count**. I'm asking for a furniture mod, i.e. a mod that would add furniture into the game.


Is Zork and the arcade zombies the only thing the terminal gives access to in Black Ops?

I know from breaking free in the chair in Black Ops, you can access the arcade Zombies with `doa` and Zork with `zork`. Are there any others?


Farmer villagers not spawning

Are there rules governing the profession of spawning villagers? In my world, a village spawned on top of a lake. This was really interesting, but the villagers would exit their buildings and immediately fall into the water. I connected the houses with floating sidewalks so they could traverse the buildings, but apparently they liked jumping off the walkways. Eventually they drowned themselves to extinction. So I revamped the village with fences and walls to prevent suicides and invading hostiles, and began a long re-population effort through curing zombie villagers. After augmenting the village with additional buildings, they finally bred, and I was able to get to a large enough population that an iron golem appeared. Strangely, however, none of these villagers are farmers! I had a few farmers in the early days, but those guys must have died somehow. Now I probably have a population of thirty or so, but not a single one working the land. The two naturally-generated farm plots are still present. I even built animal pens on the outskirts. I'd like farmers, because they give me the easiest means to earn emeralds. All these librarians, priests, mages, and blacksmiths don't have the best trade offers. Is there anything that controls whether farmers will be generated? If so, how can I get this to occur?

Could I use a 1/2TB USB 2/3 external HDD with an XBox 360?

I'm considering getting an XBox 360 (plus Kinect). I need storage for other devices as well (movies, PC games, whatever an Ouya might need), so I'm considering getting a big external HDD. Can I store downloaded games (e.g. Fez) on such a device?

How can I beat Al Gore in a fight?

Okay. So it seems that the only way to unfriend Al Gore is to beat the crap out of him. Straightforward enough. Unfortunately, between his boring presentations on Global Warming which put me to sleep, and his trio of _very_ well armed and armored Secret Service personnel, I'm finding that easier said than done. Unfortunately, my various adult and supernatural friends, like Mr. Slave, Jesus, Mr. Hanky, and that dude from the Chinese Restaurant, are unwilling to come to my aid. This leaves me in something of a pickle, as Butters would say. How do I beat up the Vice President before he and his bodyguards kill me?

Skyrim "Flying" Objects

This I'm sure has been asked before, but has anyone ever figured out what causes Objects (IE Bookshelves and Clutter) to literally fly across the room like an explosion happened? This seems to be extremely prevalent with bookshelves especially? Is this an FPS problem? I noticed a lot of people (myself included) have Physics Bugs with FPS's above 60 (mine hits 120 and I'll start hearing splashing sounds/character acts like he's swimming). Is there a fix?


Is there a way to autojoin community chat when I log in?

I'm part of a community in Diablo 3 but when logging in, I often forget to click on the community button and then join the community's chat channel. Based on the low number of people I see in it, I'm guessing I'm not alone in this. Is there any way to set it up so that I autojoin a community's channel when I start the game?


Is there a difference between worlds?

After a 90 day survival run, I decided to try out the Teleportato and move on to a new world. So, now I'm in World 2, and I want to know if there is any difference between the worlds? Obviously, the map is reset. And, you bring some of your items with you. (I found out the hard way that my unequipped backpacks in inventory burned to ashes! -- Probably due to a side-effect of the Pack-In-Inventory mod.) But, as you advance worlds does the game become harder in any way? ( _e.g._ Do monsters have more HP or do more damage?). Or, is it just a reset of the world which allows you to change characters, etc.?


SWTOR Galactic Starfighter Battle

I was an active player since SWTOR was released and until level 50. I had the role of officer in my guild and then decided to give a break after expansion came. Now, I decided to continue so I subscribed to the game, have like 7500 cartel coins (don't know what to do with them yet) and took Starfighter quests. First I played the tutorial, which wasn't sufficient at all. Just flying, doing a couple maneuvers and destroying drones. I wanted to play so I queued for a battle, and boom. I ended up with just a couple of kills, bunch of assists and aimlessly flying around and trying to escape from missiles and enemy Starfighters. There are probably geared (or whatever you call for Starfighters) or customised players who really do well and their weapons are superior compared to mine (of course). I always played Space Missions but they were simply against AI and was easy and fun for me. Now, I am struggling playing this Galactic Starfighter Battle. I want to ask how can I learn it the easiest way, like which ship, crew members, skills to get and use as a starter so I can learn the basics, and then I will be sufficient to advance to new ships and members. I don't want to make my team lose or mad while trying to learn something so I want to learn with "what" and "where" to start.


How do I build an efficient underground farm?

I prefer spending most of time in Minecraft hidden underground. I would like to build an underground wheat farm that fits the following criteria:   * Can be built entirely in a hollowed-out, underground room   * All of the crops have enough light and water that they can grow as fast as possible   * It is impossible -- or at least excessively difficult -- to accidentally destroy part of it (eg. knocking down torches)   * Mobs cannot spawn anywhere in it   * It is possible to continuously walk through it, holding down one of the mouse buttons and quickly chop down all of the crops and replant them (not at the same time, of course)   * _Bonus points if there is any sort of mechanical means of collecting the wheat!_ How would I build an underground farm that met this criteria?


Buildcraft and vertical distance for machines operating?

I built a large quarry and as it was getting closer to the ground I dug a hole with a ladder in it to get down to the bottom, but as I was down on the bottom I noticed that I could see the quarry arm cross-arms at the top, but they were standing still. I could not determine if the arm was still moving as the whole thing was flooded, but from down at the bottom of that ladder, the arms were still. As I climbed back up, they started moving again. Was this:   1. Just a distance-thing sight-wise, that the game did not update what my client was viewing as the machines was so far away (70 blocks above me)   2. A distance-thing operation-wise, and the machine really did stop as I got too far away from it I ask because now that the whole quarry is done, and I have emptied it for water, I planned on building a completely automated storage facility in it, and I was planning on placing the sorting machines and processing (smelting, etc.) at the bottom, but if that means that those things will not operate unless I'm a bit down into my structure, that may not be a good idea. Could someone shed some light on what I saw and what it means?

How to fix corrupted save files in Skyrim?

I played several hours of Skyrim today until I died and the game greeted me with the message "The save file is corrupt and cannot be loaded." after loading. This happens whenever I try to load one of the last 7 or 8 of my safe games. Older ones do work, so my character is safe, but I am not very pleased that all my quests from the last day are lost. I took a look at the safe games and they have the same size as the working ones (about 11MB). I have no idea what could have caused this issue. Since it happened first while I was ingame I am pretty sure that it was no update that broke some safe games. It is also not based on the area I saved in, because safe games of different areas are effected. When I create a new safe game, I can load it without a problem. Only those 7 or 8 safe games are broken. How should I try to fix this? Is there a recovery tool or is this a known issue? Google didn't bring anything useful up.


How large is Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, and is it free?

There is this mod called Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul that I would like to try out.

Why won't the dragon take my golden coin?

I haven't been able to find a savegame online that is after this step either.

What happens if I refuse to do Granny Rags' quest where she asks to poison the elixir supply? (spoilers)

Say, we refuse to accept Granny Rags' quest where she asks to poison the elixir supply located in the bandit area - Does this imply that Slackjaw will not give out the non-lethal version of the quest for killing the twin brothers? Since he explicitly says that he only asks for our help because many of his men were poisoned by the elixir, so half of his gang group are now Weepers. So, if we don't touch the elixir by not doing Granny Rags' quest, will we not get non-lethal version of the main quest? i.e. Will he not ask us to get the safe code?


Is there a way to toggle whether or not specific DLC is enabled?

I've got all of the Mass Effect 2 DLC installed and I want to play through the game again before Mass Effect 3 comes out, but I'd like to avoid certain DLC chunks. Is there any way to enable/disable specific packs of DLC for a given character? I'm not seeing any option for this in-game, nor do I even see an in-game list of the DLC that I've got installed.


What are the specific conditions that cause repeater lockup in multiplayer?

While playing SMP, the issue of redstone repeaters "locking up" (getting stuck in the on state) was brought up. Another user showed me their issue, a redstone clock using two repeaters and redstone wiring that was no longer "ticking". Breaking and replacing the offending repeater fixed the problem. They claimed that this issue was caused by unloading the chunks the repeater was in, while it was powered. Curious, I set about my own tests: a lever next to a repeater failed, multiple times, to create a "stuck" repeater; creating my own, identical, clock, also failed. Thus leading me to my question: Under what circumstances will redstone repeaters become "stuck" in the on position (and if it only sometime occurs, what seems to be the probability)? (It may help to consider that this does not (to the best of my knowledge) occur in single player.) Information on fixes is also appreciated.


What should be my objectives when going to war with another civ?

In Civ4, going to war with a more powerful army than your neighbors' was quite profitable. If a neighboring civ started to expand into your territory, you could go to war and raze their cities to free up some land and claim it later with a settler; or you could take over the city. In both cases, claiming more land counted towards global domination victory (the one where you own more than 80% of land, IIRC). In Civ5, war does not seem so much profitable. There's a heavy penalty for annexing cities; and large empires are much harder to manage than in the previous game. When I have a larger and more powerful army than the other civs, I can see that going to war can have the following uses:   * Bully the other civ by hitting its cities long enough that they will ask for peace giving you lots of resources.   * Kill enemy units in order to get culture   * Buy the friendship of city-states by helping them fight off a warring civ.   * Of course, there's the world domination victory and all your base are belong to us. But then again, all of these do not seem profitable reason and do not seem to make for the cost of building a powerful military to begin with. I feel like there's a purposed use to military in Civ5 other than simply crushing the other civs. Civ5 is not StarCraft... Right ? Questions:   * What should be my objective when going to war with another civ ?   * When to accept a peace treaty ? When is it time to stop the war ?   * What's the outcome of a war that you call profitable ? Culture, Gold, Land, Resources, Friendship with City-States ?


I'm seeing bright lights at the end of this tunnel in Seiklus, should I be worried?

I have been making some progress in Seiklus, finding cool stuff, and generally having a good time. Then I check out the map(once I read the instructions to _find_ the map button,) and find that there are a number of blinking lights on certain area blocks: ![blinking lights](http://i.stack.imgur.com/q2kEL.png) They alternate between white and black, and they seem to me to appear in a rather random fashion. Is this a sign of some secretes I'm totally missing, or something else I should be worried about?

Are there ANY "good guys" in the Mojave Wasteland?

I'm 100+ hours in to my first playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas, and I'm getting to the point where I will soon have to "make a choice" regarding the future of the Wasteland. Until I met Yes-Man (I _so_ need someone like him in the real world, preferably armed), I was ready to side with the NCR. Then as I progressed further, I found out some of the evil, rotten things they -- and the Crimson Caravan -- have done. Right now I'm strongly leaning toward an independent New Vegas. Every faction (except, possibly, the Powder Gangers) seems to have both good and evil qualities to it. From the Brotherhood to the NCR, from the Legion to the Great Khans, from Mr. House to the families which actually run his casinos. Nothing is cut-and-dried. I suppose I should expect this in a Fallout game, but this is a _lot_ more gray area than Fallout 3 (my first introduction to the series) presented. Are there any truly "good" guys, or is everything so gray that helping any given faction could be construed as good or evil?


How to harass Zerg with Terrans (in the early game)

I saw and read a lot of recommendations to harass Zerg if you play Terran (1x1). From one perspective it should pretty easy: put bunker and 4-8 marines there... actually anywhere you want to have a pressure point. It can be expansion, choke point, whatever. BUT. There is "but" my concern here is that such "pressure" point is very vulnerable to bannelings/roaches. When Zerg detects this pressure he will get bigger army and wipe-out bunker with marines. If I had marines only - he could kill them with bannelings easily. If I have bunker - he will destroy it with bigger amount of roaches. So I will need to have constantly increasing forces close to the bunker... that means my base will be undefended... I could add 1-2 siege tanks, but it is already mid game So the question is: how to harass Zerg with Terran (in the early game) properly?


Is there a way to have the date always show up on the top bar in Dwarf Fortress?

What are the rules for territory ownership when you raze a city?

If I raze a conquered city its territory returns to neutral ownership. However suppose I have multiple cities clustered together, it is not always possible to know which tiles I will lose when razing a city. Since I am a relatively peaceful player I have not had the chance to experiment with this game mechanic. So what are the rules which dictate which tiles belong to a particular city when it is razed?

How do I regain Arcane Power effectively with my Frozen Orb Wizard?

I'm mainly using a Frozen Orb/Electrocute Wizard at the moment. It works pretty well, but I run out of AP very often. Until recently this wasn't bad enough to actually do much about it, I was somewhat resource-constrained, but I could still regain the AP with Electrocute pretty quickly. The latest patch changed this, now it takes a lot longer to fill up my AP globe by electrocuting enemies. So I'll have to start looking for ways to gain more AP now to fix this problem, and I'm wondering which methods are effective for my build. I'm currently using the following AP regeneration methods:   * Electrocute with Surge of Power and the Prodigy passive   * 3 AP per critical hit on my helmet My subjective impression is that the APoC didn't do anything useful. I have a 54% critical hit chance, but it doesn't seem to affect my AP very much. What are effective ways to regenerate AP for a Frozen Orb Wizard?


Can you get duplicate character pieces in Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare?

Speed of tasks for different factions in The Settlers 2

In _The Settlers 2_ , the different factions appear to have buildings that perform their core functions at different speeds compared to each others' equivalent. However, this difference in speed seems to be based off of the physical positioning of interactive areas on the buildings and how the settlers walk around it, as opposed to a simple timing variable, making measuring difficult. **What are the relative speeds of the various tasks between the factions?** For example, do the factions take different amounts of time to saw boards into planks at a sawmill, or bake bread at a bakery, and if so, how much?

What do the horse's messages mean?

I get a cryptic message every time I click on the horse. Example: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0Yu9U.jpg) Other messages include   * Gazing into the horse's eyes, you feel on the verge of understanding a deep mystery.   * You ponder the horse's speed, and are inspired to quicken your own step.   * The horse's calm in the face of danger steels your will.   * The horse gazes upon you calmly, reminding you that patience is a virtue.   * Peering deep into the horse's eyes, you feel you are not yet ready for its wisdom.   * The horse fixes you with a withering gaze. These sound a lot like the stat increase messages in ADOM, because they reference things like speed and willpower; however, my stats don't seem to be increasing on their own, and I get the feeling that the game might be just messing with me...

Al Gore won't leave me alone. How do I unfriend him on Facebook?

In exploring South Park, I met a somewhat curious older gentleman hiding in he bushes over behind the movie theatre. It turns out that gentleman was former Vice President Al Gore. He promptly became my Facebook friend, and asked me to help him place some fancy science equipment around town. After I did that for him, he (kind of creepily, in retrospect), invited me to his private storage locker on the edge of town. And now, **he won't leave me alone.** Every time I take another few steps, I have a new Facebook message from Al Gore. They're all nonsense and I'm tired of them. I have a quest to remove him from my Facebook friends, but I can't figure out how to do that. How do I unfriend Al Gore?

Which is the latest version that I should install for the PC DVD version? Also, do I need to install the patch if I also have the Kingmaker expansion? What about the Battles of Ardania expansion?


Can I download Steam games on one computer (mac), then install them on another (Windows)?

My gaming PC (which runs on Windows) has very limited bandwith: I can connect to the internet, but cannot download a game. However I do have a macbook with access to a network with unlimited bandwith. Is there any way I can download Steam games (for Windows) on my mac and then transfer them to the Windows PC?


Playing coop games on Duels of the Planeswalkers

Is it possible to play the Two Headed Giant or Coop Campaign modes in Duels of the Planeswalkers, the Magic the Gathering game, on a PC? When I attempt to load these it tells me I need to attach a game pad and reload the game, which seems pretty stupid and potentially impossible in the PC version of the game. Is there any way to work around this?


How has WoW changed since Burning Crusade?

I stopped playing WoW during the good old days of Burning Crusade, mainly because I'd swapped guilds and stopped having fun when the new guild didn't really appreciate my prescence >.> So a few RL friends have convinced me to return. I'm in the process of retrieving my account at the moment (since Blizzard somehow "lost" it and can't retrieve it without me sending in stupid forms and ID and things, but that's another story), so in the meantime, I'd like to know how things have changed, if at all? My main was a level 70 hunter, had done all of Kharazan repeatedly, and some of Gruul's, and back the the good ole days of pre-BC, I had full Dragonstalker. YAY!


Production and Research overflow in Civilization 5

What happens with overflowing research or production in Civilization 5? If you produce more research in one turn than is needed for the current technology, is the research surplus carried over to the next researched technology? The same question applies to overflowing production. Do I have to micromanage production and research to avoid wasting it?


How do I flood a mine?

I have built an aqueduct from what seems to be the sea to the underground level. But the water level never rises above 1 tile of depth. How to make it 2 tiles of depth?


Does a hallucinated observer work as a detector?

I was reading a forum post on TeamLiquid where an interesting fact was posted. > "A possible solution to this would be to allow the sentry to create > hallucinated observers which can function as detectors. They'd still be > super squishy (essentially only 30 HP) and not cloaked, but it would also > give Protoss something against cloaked banshee/observer snipe builds." Does this already work or is it just a suggestion which should be implemented into the game?


Is it possible to run the new Minecraft launcher v1.6.1 in the browser?

I have constantly run into the problem of being unable to run the Minecraft launcher, and the new launcher is no exception. I have tried a number of things including restarting my computer and updating java, but the one thing I've found odd about it is that I run into no problems when using http://www.minecraft.net/play and its web interface. Even when I use the java console version of the launcher I run into the problem. So I've been trying to figure out how the web version works in order to apply the same method to open the new launcher. Here is what launches the old version of the Minecraft launcher:               <html>         <applet code="net.minecraft.Launcher" archive="https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/launcher/MinecraftLauncher.jar?v=1367502965000" codebase="/game/" width="854" height="480">             <param name="separate_jvm" value="true">             <param name="java_arguments" value="-Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dsun.awt.noerasebackground=true -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Dsun.java2d.opengl=false -Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false">             <param name="userName" value="(your username)">             <param name="latestVersion" value="1367502965000">             <param name="sessionId" value="(your sessonId)">             <param name="downloadTicket" value="(your downloadTicket)">         </applet>     </html>      And here is my attempt to create something that launches the new version:               <html>         <applet code="net.minecraft.bootstrap.Bootstrap" archive="http://www.minecraft.net/download/minecraft.jar" codebase="/game/" width="854" height="480">             <param name="separate_jvm" value="true">             <param name="java_arguments" value="-Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dsun.awt.noerasebackground=true -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Dsun.java2d.opengl=false -Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false">             <param name="userName" value="(your username)">             <param name="latestVersion" value="1367502965000">             <param name="sessionId" value="(your sessonId)">             <param name="downloadTicket" value="(your downloadTicket)">         </applet>     </html>      This clearly doesn't work, and I'm hoping someone can find a way that does, so I can manage to play the new version on this computer.


What happens if I pick-up an item I don't have space for?

Since Skyward Sword has an inventory cap on items such as bottles, medals, and extra bags, there is a chance I could receive an item but have enough space in my inventory for it. What happens in these situations? Also, if I open a chest which rewards me with rupees, but I don't have enough space left in my wallet for it, will the rupee be returned to the chest or will it simply be wasted?


What is the best way to keep bonus chains active?

When you win battles in one turn, without being damaged, and/or killing every enemy with the same hit you get a battle bonus. I've noticed the more times you are able to do this in a row you can get higher tier bonuses ranging from Normal, Ace, and Hero. I learned about the bonuses in general here. The one that I want the most is unscathed, but I keep losing it to random rolls, things like enemy first strike or enemies attacking wildly out of "order". What are some of the strategies that you use to keep these chains rolling? I know this may be subjective, I'm just looking for some strategies to think about while I'm playing. Thanks!


Finding coconuts on the beach?

I'm playing `Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City` on Wii, and after several days, I haven't found any coconut on the beach. Shall I wait even more or are coconuts simply impossible to found on the beach on this Animal Crossing game?


Is progress in the coop campaign in Portal 2 saved?

I've started playing the coop campaign of Portal 2 during launch break today, and had to stop because of time constraint. I didn't find an option to save the game, so we just disconnected. Is there a way to save the coop campaign progression? If yes, how does it work? Or will I have to play the whole campaign in a single play session?


Does the order of playing the single player or co-op campaigns matter?

In terms of plot, player training and (most importantly!) any potential spoilers between the two "branches", does it matter in which order the single player and co-op campaigns in Portal 2 are played through?


How to keep vehicles upgrades equipped in Jetpack Joyride?

I have Jetpack Joyride for Android, but every time I start the game I have to equip the magnetic upgrades to all vehicles, except the teleporter, which is the only one already equipped. I had once a game crash that undid my last 2 magnets purchases, so I ended up with only the teleporter and 20k less in cash. After that, I've bought every vehicle magnet, but still the only one that will remain equipped is the teleport. Anyone already found some similar bug? How could I fix this, it's kinda annoying have to mannually enable 5 different upgrades every time I want to play.


Minecraft Lan Commands

My aunt and I were playing on her Lan World and she put on commands/cheats for both of us and I tried some commands I know and it said you don't have permission to do this and I did /help and the only commands that showed up were 1./seed 2./me (action) 3./tell 4./w (whisper to another player).Why is this happening is it a bug or what?               P.S. My Version is 1.7.10


Why are some UI elements cut off along the edges of my TV?

I just recently got Skyrim. I never knew about the bar at the top saying which way to go for a quest up until recently when I was watching other friends play it and some youtube videos. My TV is not HD, and is about 32 inches, and it doesn't show that stuff. Even watching TV I notice big lettering not showing on the sides. My remote doesn't work and I don't believe it is compatible with a universal remote due to it having both a DVD player and a VHS player built in. How can I get the whole picture to show up on my old TV?


Why did I just get 10 golden keys?

Just received 10 keys for Borderlands 2. I did not preorder the game. I own Borderlands, but I don't think that has any correlation to the golden keys in game. Where did these keys come from?


Why doesn't my kindred mage appear to be doing anything to rage or calm?

So I just bought `Kindred Mage`. I have Calm, and `Rage`. Calm is supposed to work against most types up to level 9. Add the Animage perk and that would be level 17 limit (yes animals only, I realize that part). `Fury` is up to level 6 opponents. `Kindred Mage` is supposed to make 'all illusion spells' work on higher level opponents (+10 levels). I also have `Hypnotic Gaze` which is supposed to make `Calm` spells work on higher levels. However `Calm` just says up to **17**. and `Fury` still says **6**. What gives?


Can you miss a Job?

More than a few jobs are part of sub-scenarios. If I finish a Chapter without doing any sub scenarios do I miss those jobs forever (well until NG+)?


Best strategy for a "rush-victory"

**What I mean by rush victory?** Win the game as fast as possible, without wasting any time on side- quests/other objectives. * * * Based on this chart of tech tree we can say that the "order" would be:   1. Start the game   2. Kill an Alien   3. Xeno-Biology TECH   4. Arc Thrower TECH   5. Arc Thrower WEAP   6. Capture an outsider   7. Ethereal Device TECH   8. Gallop Chamber   9. Psi-Armor TECH   10. Psi-Armor ARMOR But, here are the problems:   1. It's hard to kill aliens without advanced tech.   2. It's hard to survive the aliens without advanced tech.   3. It's hard to collect resources (money) to build the necessary items.   4. It's hard to go to advanced missions with low rank soldiers. * * * What's the faster way to finish the game?   * Do I need to wait until full squad advancements + gear?   * Do I need to avoid losing countries? PS: I know that with the gear and upgrades it's "easier" to do so.


Display becomes messed up at 16bit

I'm trying to play planescape Torment on my windows install on a macbook pro. The colors in the entire game are garbled and messed up. The problem is the color palette. In fact, the color pallete on my computer breaks down and looks also garbled when I switch my display to 16 bit. Coincidentally, Planescape Torment run only 16 bit colors. Tried running in all resolutions. Tried to widescreen mod. Switched to 16 bit on my computer and suddenly everything is garbled just like the game. So I suspect this is my computer's problem not game. How do I allow my computer to run 16bit display without garbling? 64 bit windows 7. Geforce 650M. 16Ram. i7.


Is the Halo 4 GOTY edition DLC on the disc or an included code?

Is the Game of the Year edition's included downloadable content downloaded from the disc or included as single-use codes?


Recycle a floor possible?

In the original Tiny Tower you could recycle a level if you didn't like it to get a better one. It was like building a new level, but in an existing spot. I would do that when I got something that never kept stock, or I just didn't like. I can't seem to find a way to do that in Tiny Death Star. I have a few levels that run out of stock in minutes all the time that I would rather just get rid of and put something else in, is that possible?


Will I lose purchased items if I reset my tower?

I am in a strange place in the game now. I have -399 bux due to what I can only hope is a bug, but the motivation to play is gone because of it. I want to reset, but I had paid to upgrade the elevator and get some bux when the game first launched. If I reset the game to fix the big negative balance, will I have literally lost that money?


What happens when I use the map flags?

There are a number of maps in Skyrim, mostly in the Jarls' palaces or various camps. All of these maps have flags placed in them to mark Imperial or Stormcloak territories. When I "use" one of these flags, a message pops up saying "Map Updated". However, at this stage in the game, my map is such a mess I wouldn't be able to really tell if anything changed on it or not. Can someone tell me exactly what sort of update is being done here?


Can I restore Batman's health out of combat?

Sometimes I screw up and lose health to an environmental hazard, but it seems like then the next time I get into a fight, I've still got missing health. This is something of a disadvantage. I get my health restored when I finish a combat sequence, but is that the only way to get health back? Is there any way to restore lost health before entering combat?


Is there a way to make all my link books automatically intra linking?

In mystcraft 1.7.2 is there a 100% way to make all books intra-linking? (so they can link and be used in the same world) Note that changing configs or some server admin only method are acceptable solutions.


How does one calculate a ship's agility?

According to an equation on http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Aligning, a ship's agility modifies the time it takes for a ship to enter warp. However, this 'agility' value is not displayed anywhere in the game (as far as I know). So, how does one calculate this? I read somewhere it had to do with a ship's mass and inertia values, but I'm not sure on the exact formula.

What will Mason's workshop upgrade into?

I suddenly found that I can upgrade my Mason's Workshop. What will be the result of this upgrade? Normally I'd just upgrade, but it costs rubies (for which you need real money). It seems really lame that upgrading a building like this would require real money. Although it's not really necessary, because it's not hard to get plenty of stone.


Demon Hunter AoE damage leveling build (60-70)

With the new expansion I started to play my Demon Hunter again. Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea of how to play it right because the last 3 months I only played the IWillJustRightclickAndWhirlwindThroughEverythingGainingParagonExperienceLikeCrazy **Barbarian**. So I kind of forgot how to use a resource besides rage and thus I really struggle with the Hatred costs of the Demon Hunter. This is my current build and I feel like I can't kill monsters quick enough. What I need is a build that has very good AoE damage while not losing too much survivability and single target damage.


Loot missing from console versions of skyrim?

I know most loot is random, but some is also static, especially loot that is in world and not in a chest or on a corpse. Last year I played Skyrim twice on my PC and now I've been playing it on my PS3. It seems like on the PC version I have found items like `boots of strength` **both times** early in the game. I noticed I didn't find them playing the PS3 but wrote it off as having overlooked them. I also seem to remember finding Ebony Gauntlets of Extreme Archery during the Red Eagle quest laying next to the treasure chest behind Red Eagle's coffin **both times** on the PC. I just finished that quest on the PS3 specifically for those gauntlets because I'm trying a stealth/ranger toon, but guess what, no gauntlets. Now I'm beginning to wonder if I overlooked the boots earlier or if they're just not as abundant or missing all together in the console game. Am I remembering wrong? Are they random and I got lucky twice before? Thanks in advance.


Xbox 360 HDD or OS is not working the way its supposed to

So, I was playing Mass Effect 2 and as I was walking the screen just kind of froze, I could still hear sound playing fine so I knew the console didn't freeze. After about 2 minutes of waiting a screen came up that said the disk is scratched or dirty. Well, the problem is I was playing the Kasumi DLC so it was being read from the HDD. I restarted the console after that and it started to do things that it shouldn't be doing. It will either say there is a profile available or not, depending on the restart. Or it will sign into my profile on XBL and even notify me of whose online. Or it will tell me whose online while saying that I'm signed out. I've tried doing a profile recovery, but I keep getting an error that XBL sign up is unavailable. What can I do to fix this? Is there a way to perform `chkdsk` on the HDD? I'm 99% sure it's just a corrupt sector that needs to be fixed. Anyway, I hope you guys might have a solution. I don't feel like spending money on this console. I don't know what gen it is, but it's the white chassis with 4GB built in.


Does the rest of the party get buffed if one of their teammates disconnects?

I was playing League of Legends and encountered my first instance of a teammate disconnecting and leaving the game (rather than a temporary disconnect). After I got over the momentary dread of being roffle-stomped, I played as normal and noticed that myself and my teammates (including one that I party with regularly) were doing surprisingly better than usual. I've played custom maps in other similarly-styled games (StarCraft 2 custom maps that play like LoL/DotA, for example) where the rest of the group was made a bit stronger when someone left to compensate for the imbalance. Is that at work in League of Legends as well, or were we doing well without any additional help from the game?


What is the earliest level 5 hack?

I know there's at least one level 4 lock in Detroit in the first section of the game. However, I'm wondering how soon I need to max out my hacking skills if I want to be able to hack absolutely everything.


How high can fish get?

In _Ridiculous Fishing_ , once the fish reach the water's surface on the way up, they fly into the air at high speeds. The background changes as they go, in that the clouds disappear, the sky gets darker, stars and the moon become visible. That's as far as I've seen, though, and I was wondering how high the fish can reach and what is the highest 'feature' (e.g. clouds, the moon, etc) visible. There is also, as far as I can tell, no way to see the maximum height your fish have reached.


Which files do I have to back up to not lose my Security Key?

I am using the Security Application for Android via BlueStacks so I get the extra 100 Cartel Points per Month. This works fine, but I had to enter multiple codes into the app and the account to make it work, which is normal. Now in case I reinstall my Operating System, which files would I need to back up to keep my security key on my account and not having to go through support to remove it?

Where are the Crowbar spawn locations in Shadow Raid?

Where are the spawn locations for he Crowbar mission item in the Shadow Raid heist? And do the locations differ based on difficulty?

Can't drag cubes through disintegration field with yellow gun

On the puzzle "The Missing Pieces" it won't let me drag blocks all the way through the disintegration field over to the receptors. I can drag the blocks about half way but then it refuses to let me drag them any further. I can sometimes drag them BACK towards where I came from, but I can never drag them the full way. Why does this happen?

COD MW2 Multiplayer won't start

I've been trying to play COD MW2 MP, but it won't work on my pc. My brother copied the files off of my pc without any issues and it works perfectly on his computer. These are the exact same files that I'm trying to use here. The Windows Event Log logs the following: > Faulting application name: iw4mp.dat, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: > 0x4b68bba4   >  Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: > 0x4a5bdadb   >  Exception code: 0xc0000005   >  Fault offset: 0x000520bd   >  Faulting process id: 0x145c   >  Faulting application start time: 0x01cf281ae751ed94   >  Faulting application path: E:\Games\CoD MW2\Call of Duty Modern Warfare > 2\iw4mp.dat   >  Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll   >  Report Id: 25148116-940e-11e3-93af-00248185d007 I'm at a loss as to why this doesn't happen on my brother's pc... I've tried replacing my ntdll.dll file with his, but computer did a system repair and, I assume, undid this. If I run the exe on my brother's pc from across the network from a computer other than mine, it works, but I still get the error when I try it like that on mine, so that means for sure there's some problem with my system that's preventing this from working. Can anyone suggest what the problem is?


How do you unlock all of the characters?

Upgrade to level 2 or deploy another building?

I am looking for some strategy hints for `Defense Grid : The Awakening` to improve alien blast efficiency. If there is enough space to build, is more efficient upgrade a structure to Level 2, or deploy instead a new structure, considering also the price difference?


How much does a health regen pack decrease the regeneration delay?

Normally, your health begins to regenerate after not taking any damage for 15 seconds. The description of the Juggernaut class' Health Regen Pack says it decreases this time, but it doesn't say _by how much_. So: When I'm using this pack, how long do I have to wait before I start regenerating health, and how many more seconds does each upgrade (-3%/level) shave off?


Strategy for solving "Lights Out" puzzle

Lights Out is a grid-based puzzle where each cell has two states: on/off. You can swap the state of any cell, but when you do so, the adjacent cells (horizontally or vertically) are swapped as well. Given initial the grid with random states, the objective is to set all cells to off state. However, I've never been able to develop a strategy of how to solve (by hand) this type of puzzle. Usually I end up switching cells at random. **What kinds of strategy are available for solving this game?** There are many variations of this puzzle, but I'm only interested in the classic one. This puzzle is available in many grid sizes. It's desirable, but not required, that the proposed strategies work on all grid sizes. My usual (and flawed) strategy is trying to clear row after row, from the top to the bottom. Unfortunately, I end up unable to clear the last row, and then I just start swapping cells at random, or just ragequit altogether. * * * There is an open-source and multi-platform implementation called **flip** as part of Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection.

How to make tourism profitable in Tropico 4?

I'm trying to make a living off of tourism (I just want to try it) yet every time I do, the same thing happens. I start off small with 1 tourist dock, about 4 hotels and several attractions. I scale everything up a bit (I reach 3 docks and about a dozen hotels) and I end up making a profit of 50.000$ which is good at the very start, quite very good, but I still need to scale up. I get to the point where I have 9 docks and an airport and I still can't fill 20 hotels (whereas just a few in-game years ago I filled 12 from 3 docks). I just can't get more people to come to my island, now I make 75.000$ income but I spend 100.000$. Crime is low, pollution is low, there are enough attractions and my tourism rating is just over 100. What could I possibly be doing wrong ? I just don't get it.


Buying familiars via PayPal

How does buying familiars through PayPal work in Blood Brothers RPG? Like, how does the purchased familiar get transferred to the buyer's account?


How can I tell if a teleporter exit was picked up when I'm at the entrance?

When the other end of an active teleporter is destroyed or picked up by its builder, the end I'm facing will stop glowing and spinning.   * If the teleporter is destroyed, it will show up in the kill feed. However, that's fairly easy to miss, more so when my base is being destroyed by a rush (and this doesn't help as much as I had hoped). The end I'm facing will also reset to level 1 if it's upgraded, but if it was level 1 to begin with then that's not going to help much.   * If an active teleporter is sapped, sappers will be planted on both ends, so that makes it pretty obvious. However, either end may still be destroyed prematurely leaving the other one intact and sapped.   * If the teleporter is picked up, the end I'm facing will _not_ reset to level 1 if it's upgraded. Again, if it's level 1, it's not a very helpful indicator. Note also that buildings cannot be picked up when sapped. Are there any visual effects or sounds I can pay attention to, in order to tell quickly whether that other end was destroyed or picked up regardless of what level it is?


Two guns not displayed, even though twin holster crafted

I've crafted a twin holster and the two guns are not displayed. The second holster is there but the gun isn't displayed and even the Gun icon on the HUD shows 2 fragments (as I've equipped the gun, which has 2 barrels).

What are the differences between the difficulty levels in Doom and Doom 2?

I've been playing Doom and Doom 2 for a while and have grown curious if there is an official list of what changes when you increase the difficulty level. I've noticed that there are almost always more enemies, and they sometimes have increased firing rates. But are there any other differences regarding enemy hit points, enemy intelligence, item placement, enemy regeneration, etc.? What are the major differences between `I'm too young to die`, `Hey, not too rough`, `Hurt me plenty`, `Ultra-Violence`, and `Nightmare!` skill levels? Is the difference in overall difficulty pretty much constant between each one, or is the jump between Ultra-Violence and Nightmare! much larger than that between the lower levels?

Do you have to make it all the way to inferno to level the jeweler up completely?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How much gold does it take to unlock all crafting recipes? I appologize if this has already been covered, but I couldn't find the information anywhere. I just made it to Nightmare on my Wizard, and noticed that I needed to collect crafting pages to level up the Jewel Crafter Covetious Shen. Are there pages in each difficulty, or will I be able to finish leveling him up in Nightmare? Also, if each difficulty setting has its own pages, can you buy them off the AH to gain access to the higher level gems early on? Thanks!

Something wrong with my Minecraft!

Okay my minecraft graphics seem to be spazzing out. I keep getting black flashing on mobs, and the pc, as well as chests and signs. Nothing else that I know of is spazing. I was able to play it fine two days ago before my pc got a virus and I had to reset to factory settings. And I seem to be having issues with my memory running out. This didn't happen before either. I'm using minecraft 1.2.5 and i got a ati radeon x1600 card. Need anymore info ask.


Where can I find specific dye colors?

So far all of Act I merchants have sold Green, Brown, or White dyes, while all of Act II merchants have sold Green, Brown, White, or Blue dyes. The number of different colors for sale, and which colors are available seems to vary for each merchant at any given time. So I'm thinking that specific merchants (or perhaps all merchants in a specific Act or Difficulty) only sell specific dye colors (correct me if I'm wrong here in a comment, and I'll update) Can someone provide me with a list of where I can find each color of Dye?


Who sells Lovely Dye?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Where can I find specific dye colors? I'd rather not pay the inflated Auction House price, but I can't find anyone who sells it in-game. If the seller dye stock is random, who is most likely to sell it, and in what difficulty? Where can I buy Lovely Dye (pink)?

Is it even possible to have a melee based class play a range style in Diablo 3?

In Diablo 1 and 2, you had the freedom to equip both ranged and melee weapons on your character. For example, I could equip a bow or a sword/shield on my paladin. Early in Diablo 3, you can equip a skill to both mouse buttons. This effectively relegates your weapon to a bunch of numbers, as you don't actually attack with it. Is the only option to create a ranged monk or barbarian to fool the skill system?


Minecraft sometimes crashes during or after writing signs

I have an iPad, and I'm on PE 0.8.1. When I write a sign, it sometimes crashes. Also sometimes after writing, in which case it saves the sign, but not the writing. Both cases it takes the sign out of my hotbar/quick-select. Can someone tell me why?
