How to get the bottle on the tower near the railway in Go West, Young Raccoon?

How do I get the bottle on the tower near the railway in Sly Cooper Thieves in Time, Go West, Young Raccoon? I've tried climbing the tower, using the paraglider, using different characters; all unsuccessful. Do you need to buy a power up or gain an ability? ![bottle on the tower near the railway in Sly Cooper Thieves in Time, Go West, Young Raccoon](http://i.stack.imgur.com/idNXH.jpg)


Is there a way not to damage your allies and civilians while using explosive weapons?

I decided to play Fallout New Vegas again, and this time I'm going for explosive weapons as my primaries. The main problem i currently have with them (other then blowing my limbs off while using them in CQC, which is what i can easily fix with certain perks) is that they will damage any civilians and allies that are close to enemies i attack. It doesn't happen often that there are civilians close to enemies, but in some cases and in some quests it does and then it's really a pain trying to kill the enemies without hitting civilians/allies along the way which will then either kill them or make them turn hostile to me which will then end up in losing reputation with their faction. Is there a way to not damage anyone else other then enemies with explosive weapons? Like a console code to turn friendly fire off (i usually never use console for anything as i don't like to cheat, but this is really making explosive weapons very hard to play with). Or if there are any tricks that would help me with my issue please let me know.


Conditions for skeleton spawning

I have made a skeleton grinder and, for an unknown reason, they don't seem to spawn. My grinder is of the type that the skeleton spawns at a high distance and drops to his death. Are there some conditions required for skeletons to spawn? And yes, it is dark enough. Are there any conditions like range, or limit, or anything else I should be knowing about?


How do I fill up a massive hole in the world?

Due to some issues on my server, I was forced to remove a massive hole of about 100k blocks on my server. ![Massive Hole](http://i.stack.imgur.com/WEpbJ.jpg) The problem is, it is really close to the spawn and I don't want anyone seeing it. Is there any way to cover it up? I have tried using WorldEdit and my server crashes. Is there any way to cover it up that doesn't involve taking an hour?


How to play multiplayer game modes in single-player?

For testing purposes, I would like to run Deathrun maps in single-player, with the event triggering, etc. working. How does one do this? I changed the game mode and map, but events aren't triggering, and I spawn with no weapons and the default health thingy in the bottom left. How can I play multiplayer game modes in single-player?


Are there any tricks to completing the Crumbling Vault?

Last night I came across the Crumbling Vault event while playing my level 19 Witch Doctor solo, (well, the Templar was with me, but yeah...) and I failed it, hard. For the first 30 seconds or so, I tried killing things, but past that point I was pretty much just using Spirit Walk and moving as fast as I could to find the treasure room. However, I was frequently overwhelmed by enemies, and often surrounded. I managed to survive to the end of the timer, and I feel like I might have been close to the end, but there's really no indication so I have no idea. Are there any tricks to getting through this? Would particular bits of gear or types of skills help? Is there anything in particular I should be looking for as far as clues that I'm on the right track? Is this even possible to solo?


Loot quality between single player and co-op

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Does Multiplayer improve loot or just increase the amount of enemies and > loot drops from them? Now when it's said that loot quality is better when playing co-op, does that mean the best guns will _only_ be found in co-op? It really comes down to two things.   1. Is loot equal in quality between the two but harder to find the best stuff solo?   2. Are guns dropped in co-op actually better than single because of the increased difficulty?

Is it possible to load a save file from a game of another region (PS3)?

I played Batman: Arkham Asylum (BLES) for a while and got almost all the available trophies (the PS3 equivalent of achievements). Yesterday I bought the Collector's Edition (BLUS) and I noticed that I could not use the same save file I used before. I don't wanna to play the game from beginning right now, I just want to get every trophy and be ready to play Batman: Arkham City. **Does anyone know if I can do something to fix that?** P.S. BLES - European Game; BLUS - US Game

Why am I losing customization in Borderlands 2?

I seem to have the same problem as the person who asked Borderlands 2, skin and head problems?. They didn't get any kind of answer that would help me, so I'm going to add more detail:   * I play split-screen co-op, and I'm always the second player. The PS3 only has one account so it's User and User[1].    * I play Maya, and I have collected customization items before, heads and skins, and opened them. I know for a fact I had the head, Nevermore.   * I know that usually after I use the customization item and go to the Quick Change console, I have a new option to choose from. Like with Nevermore, I can view the new option.   * After I've viewed it and left the console, do whatever, and came back, my new options were gone. I find this really annoying because the other person playing has all of their options still available. It only seems to be me that loses my options. I've heard about the glitch that turns your Badass points to 0, resets your skills, and gets rid of your new customization options. This might be it because my Badass Points and Rank are 0 even though I'm level 18 and I know I've completed challenges. I still have all my skills, so maybe only the points reset. Is there anything I can do right now? I want to customize my characters, and you can see how this is obviously causing a problem.


How do you play as commander as an alien (Kharaa)?

This, erm, may be a stupid question, but how do you play as the commander on the alien team? They don't have a structure to enter like the marines - I assumed it would just involve pressing 'e' on the hive, but I couldn't get that to work last night.


Was Zed Betrayed?

Part of Zed's Lore reads: > > The old man implored Zed to enter the temple, destroy the box, and lead > his followers to balance. The dark ninja followed the master inside. Moments > later, the assembled ninjas heard Zed cry out in pain. Mysteriously, he > emerged unscathed, and threw the severed head of the master at Shen's feet. > Screaming in rage, Zed commanded his followers to slaughter the master's > students and seize the box. This to me sounds like the master (the old man) betrayed Zed and attempted to slay him, only to slay one of his shadows instead (zed can make shadow images of himself), at which point Zed slays the master in revenge. Am I interpreting this correctly? Zed's Lore in full: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/zed-master-shadows- revealed


What are the keyboard shortcuts (binds) when playing commander?

Can we have multiple save file in Borderlands 2

Can we have multiple save files in this game? I mean, can I start a new game while keeping my last character's save? Or is it a game with only 1 save file and you have to live with it?


How do I move save data from the hard disk to the cloud?

In the past I have saved games to the hard disk, but now that the Xbox has the option to save game data to a cloud based service I am considering using this instead, as I would like to ensure that in the event anything happens to my Xbox that I will still have the save games for the games that I play. I have searched online for information on how to set this up but haven't found any information so I was hoping that somebody here would know; Is it possible and if so how? How would I export save data from the hard disk to the cloud, so I can start using the cloud as my primary save point?

How many playthroughs do I need to buy everything?

Since there isn't enough money to buy everything in one playthrough, and the estimated credits total in the game is at around 800k, I'm trying to figure out how many playthroughs I'll need to be able to afford to fully buy/upgrade everything in the game. But how much is that exactly? If you sum up all upgrades/shop items (lets assume I pick up everything in the missions), how much money would it take?

How do I share SteamApps folder between Windows and OS X?

I have a bootcamped Mac, and I want to share my SteamApps folder between the two operating systems, since the bulk of the storage is in game assets. I've tried using an exFAT partition, but OSX has a bug that reports it as case sensitive when it isn't, so Steam refuses to run on it. Fat32 is no good due to the 4gb limit. I would rather not have to wrangle some sort of 3rd party ntfs / hfs driver for either side. Thats a last resort option. Surely others out there want to do this and someone has succeeded?

How do I destroy an assault drone?

I am admittedly not very good at the game, but whenever I run into an assault drone it seems to kill me almost instantly. I know that if I shoot them enough they'll be destroyed, but I never last that long. Is shooting an assault drone an effective way to destroy it, or should I try something else? Or am I better off just avoiding it until it disappears?


Is my internet connection too slow for online games?

When playing Modern Warfare 3 (PS3), it seems like I'm killed by a single bullet constantly. When I watch the kill cam, it looks like the other player shot me 4-5 times. Is my internet connection too slow? Running a speed test averages 55ms ping, 24 Mbps down, and 1 Mbps up. The PS3 is connected via hardline (Cat6) to my router, so there shouldn't be too much speed loss on the intranet. What can I do to make my multi-player experience more enjoyable?


Do you keep your rewards and score etc when you are kicked from a server?

I know that in MechWarrior Online if you quit (or crash, whathaveyou) that any scores or accomplishments you have made in the match will be awarded to you at its conclusion (even though you're not in it). I was wondering if Battlefield 3 did the same.   Like, it may do so if you quit (so the game has a chance to 'shut down') but what if you crash, are kicked, or otherwise disconnected abruptly? I don't think it increases your scores (experience etc) whilst the game is running, but I don't know if it will still amend your profile if you aren't there when the match ends (I've logged back into a match before and found my score to be 0 with 0 kills and deaths as if I was never there).

Mining Cidhna Mine

Ok, so I've run into a Cidhna mine bug, whereupon entering the area after completion of the quest No One Escapes Cidhna Mine, all the ore veins become effectively unuseable. Instead of the normal mining interation, when clicked on they instead pop up the rest dialog! As background information, I have about 15 plugins installed, including SKSE. I have none of the DLC's installed. I've already tried disabling all plugins and restarting the game, but the problem persisted. I tried the pickaxe attack 'exploit', but no dice, all mines in the zone remain unuseable. I was not able to find a way around the problem via my usual Googling, and was wondering if anyone here had a way around it? I play on a PC, and console solutions are fine by me. Thanks!


How to farm Pirate's Booty challenge

A challenge "Pirate's Booty" asks you to open lots (25/75/150/250/375) of Pirate Weapon Chests. Obviously, most pirate chests in existence are in the Leviathan's treasure room, but it is only accessible twice during the main and the encore quest. What is the best route to farm pirate chests outside quests? Is there an obscure way through quests that yields lots of chests?


Are there any benefits of helping "friends" other than a little extra cash?

While playing GTA4, I sometimes run across these blue person icons that the game refers to as a "friend" which is like a small side mission. Sometimes I accidentally walk into them without noticing and just complete them because that seems like the easiest thing to do. Do these friend side missions contribute anything t the overall story line, or are they _just_ there to be there? Is there a set list of friend missions you can do? Do they unlock something for completing all of them? Overall, is there any real benefit to me for completing them? P.S. I'm _not_ talking about your friends that you can call on your phone.

Do I start out knowing all the cooking recipes in Skyrim?

I'm finding a lot of vegetables on my travels through Skyrim. Two in particular, the Carrot and the Potato, don't show up in any of the cooking recipes I started out with.   * Is there some method to learn new cooking recipes in-game, or are you stuck with what you know at the start?   * If not, is there any use for Carrots and Gourds(and other equally useless veggies) other than selling them en masse for 0 gold? (Even the NPCs think they're worthless!)


What else affects game stats gained during tasks?

Other than the obvious effect of employee stats and the explanation that using one employee on the same job too many times in a row will decrease effectiveness, what else determines how many points are put into the game? I had one employee consistently give me high points in Fun while writing the proposal (between 70 and 90). I always made sure to swap him out so that he wouldn't get burnt out by the "PREV" tag. However, this morning he really let me down and produced a game proposal that I would expect out of a fresh college grad, not a 15 year veteran in the industry. It looked like he just gave up after "3 times" and I got just under 30 points of Fun from his proposal. I still topped the charts, but it concerned me. Are there other factors that go into this determination, such as genre combination, energy level, morale, motivation, etc? I've come to depend on my employees to produce high quality games. Are they one day going to let me down? Will I be able to see it coming? Can I prevent it??

Why can't I junk certain jewelry?

During my travels, I've found some jewelry that wasn't worth keeping and so I threw it in my junk bag so I could easily sell it later on. Recently, I found this interesting piece: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Howum.jpg) This item is called St. Hadwyn's Beads. As you can see in the picture, it's equip-able and I have the option of comparing it with my other items. However, I don't want to use this poor excuse for jewelry as it has no magical properties whatsoever. And when I can't use something, I junk it so it can be sold. But, there's no 'junk' option on this item. What's so special about it? Are there others out there like it?

How can I make Bao-Dur an effective Jedi Guardian?

Having gained the required influence, I am now able to make Bao-Dur a Jedi Guardian. That's great, but he can't wear robes, which means the best armor he can wear and still cast all force powers is the Miner Outfit, which provides an amazing 1 point of defense and no other bonuses. His Tech Specialist levels also don't stack with his Jedi Guardian levels for the Unarmed Specialist feat, which means he'll be at least 6 levels behind on his unarmed damage. Normally, my Jedi use double-bladed lightsabers with Master Flurry and Master Speed to dish out a preposterous 5 attacks per round, which is enough to kill most opponents in 1 or 2 rounds (especially if they've been caught in a Stasis Field); but one cannot cast Master Speed with armor on. His amazing 10 dextery also means he'll be getting hit a lot if he wears the Miner Outfit. So, how should he built? Will he be an effective unarmed combatant despite lagging behind in his Unarmed Specialist feats, or should he use a lightsaber? Armor or clothes? If armor, what powers should he take? What about equipment and upgrades?

Do different nationalities have different default levels of morale?

I'm currently playing a campaign as Sweden, and I'm, of course, taking over the world. I've already taken care of much of the Danish, and I'm used to seeing the enemy units flee once their numbers have been reduced significantly. However, with the Poles, it seems like a completely different story. I recently managed to wipe them out, but in the process, had to absolutely destroy units before I was rid of them (they just wouldn't break ranks, except for artillery). When I say "destroy" I don't mean reduce to 10, 5, or even 1 person. No, they would just keep on fighting, down to the _very last man_. This leads to my question: do different nationalities have different levels of morale? Were the soldiers I was fighting more resilient _because_ they were Polish (Poland-Lithuania)? Could it also have to do with the fact that they were defending their last stand and capital?

Why does my pawn sometimes return with items only?

My pawn returns from adventuring with other players in two ways:   * with the name of who has been using her, Rift Crystals, a rating, possibly an item or some equipment, and a comment   * with nothing more than some small items, typically the kind she can gather herself When I'm using other people's pawns, I can either gift them equipment, or I can release them with a single-item gift, which will cause them to return with Rift Crystals, a rating, a comment, etc. I don't see any other way to gift other pawns items. What causes her to return with just items, and where does she get the items from? (She'd better not be stealing them!)

Buying Legendary Blacksmithing Plans

I was lucky enough to find a Legendary Plan the other night (Harvest Moon)... I noticed it had a sell value, which got me to wondering, "Can I buy these in the AH?".

I am a big dummy, and was looking in the wrong place Which is it? Or is it something else?


Is there a way to get people onto voice chat when playing solo queue?

I play a lot of solo queue and sometimes I will duo queue with someone I know and use some kind of voice comm. (skype, mumble, etc) but I was thinking that it would be great to get people onto voice chat when playing solo. It would have to happen during champion select. As soon as you are in the banning phase you could tell everyone how to get onto the voice chat and hope that some of the other players have the appropriate software and are able to get on in time. Which piece of software would lend itself to doing this? I have considered telling people to add me to skype while in champion select for example. The software should be free in my opinion. Some software needs a server setup and so this needs to be considered. Are there risks involved with this? There are a lot of immature people who play LOL and I wouldn't necessarily want them to know my skype ID. The software of choice should mitigate any potential risks. The advantages would be that with voice comm your team could coordinate a lot better. I would love to hear some solutions and actually try to do this. I will try to answer my own question as well.

Why did this explosion make me fat? (A land mine increased my weight)

You drop a dwarvish mattock. Your movements are now unencumbered.     You see here a tin. KAABLAMM!!! You triggered a land mine! Your movements are slowed slightly because of your load. You fall into a pit!      Why did this happen? I picked up some scale mail, and became burdened. So I dropped my dwarvish mattock (I still have a pickaxe). That un-burdened me. I walked over to a tin I saw and stepped on a land mine that was suddenly there! I fell into a pit, and then somehow I became burdened again. The tin, meanwhile, flew across the room. (Poor tin.) How did the explosion increase my weight? Is this a kind of status effect? If so, how could I remove it? The wiki article on land mines mentions nothing about this, and I don't have autopickup on (the tin flew away anyway).

How can I make money?

I've been working on a fledgling adventurer, and I can't seem to make any sort of decent cash. There are several ways I can _earn_ money, such as the job board, but even that is hit or miss. I've taken several hunting missions that are rated easy (and only have one dollar sign). Sometimes, those work out, and I get a little money. Other times, though, I run into something nasty (even on these "easy" hunts), and it manages to kill me handily. You can't try again, so you fail those quests. I haven't tried escort missions yet, since I can barely survive the things in the starting area, let alone anything else. I've taken to trying to pull stuff out of a dungeon, try to afford to get it identified, and sell that. That usually turns out to be a money-losing operation, though, as it's not nearly worth much more than the original, unidentified price. Selling random monster bits is only worth 1 GP, usually, so that's certainly not something that's at all feasible.


How do you defeat the Ancient Rock Wraith in the Deep Roads?

Does anyone have any tips or hints on how to beat the Ancient Rock Wraith in the Deep Roads? I've tried battling him a few times and even hiding from his super AoE attack, I still get ground down by the minions, and then he nukes 2 of my team. I'm running   Hawke - Daggers Rogue   Varric - Archer Rogue   Merrill - Elemental   Anders - Elemental + Heal I think that I really needed to take a tank, but I ideally don't want to have to restart the Deep Roads section. Does anyone have any tips on how to beat this boss?


What are the XP levels for units in Civ 5?

Is there a table or formula to specify what the XP "steps" are for units in Civilization 5? For example, if a unit will receive +30 XP from military buildings, how can I tell what level it will be?


Why does my screen go completely blank when I try to use my AV cords?

I am usually playing in HD with the HDMI cords on my Playstation 3 but right now I am at my friends house and he does not have any HD television, so I am trying to use my AV jacks but when I plug it in to the television and turn the Playstation 3 on... The screen stays dark as it was before I turned my Playstation on. I do not know if it's my Playstation 3, my AV jacks, the television, or what but it won't show up on the screen for anything, I've tried out my friends AV jacks, it still didn't work. So It must not be the AV jacks.


How do you run Pokemon Omicron/Zeta?

Pokemon Omicron and Zeta were released in beta recently. See here. I downloaded the game, unzipped everything and double clicked the .exe but the window pops up for half a second and crashes. I have downloaded from multiple places and tried both omicron and zeta and they both yield the same result. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Any ideas as to how to fix this? Edit: Here is the inside of the folders ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YFGQz.jpg) * * * ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MHIWr.jpg)


How do I go to hell?

I go once, squish grapes, eat to brush off pooped, then do stuff to get my energy to 0, but can't get back to hell. What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to work on the achievements for visiting hell.


What does the exclamation mark mean when approaching a door?

Most doors I come across in the Rage universe do not cause a hand icon to appear, indicating that they can be opened, nor are they locked with a grindable lock. Most actually display a white warning sign as seen here: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/N4Gpe.jpg) And zooming in a bit: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9PPpv.jpg) I have to admit I haven't been keeping track of doors that become open while you play, so I wanted to know what it is this icon indicates, exactly. Does it mean "this door won't open **at the moment** ", or perhaps "this is indeed a door, **but it will never open** "? Perhaps it means either one depending on the door?


Why is Navi staring at this puddle like an idiot in the cow cave on Death Mountain?

The title pretty much sums it up. I've tried bombing the puddle and scooping it with a bottle, but no luck. ![screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/TygNW.png)


Quake 3 doesn't install in Windows 7

I have a Dell Studio laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz processor, 4 GB Ram, 512 MB ATI Raedon Graphics Card and 500 GB HDD with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I was checking my shelf for old games and came across Quake 3 Arena. Though its more than a decade old now, I'm still a big fan. I tried installing this game by double-clicking the setup.exe file but nothing happens. I can see that the process is listed in the processes tab of task manager but in vain. I don't see anything happening. Assuming that this could be because I'm installing an old game on a 64-bit machine, I tried to change the compatibility to Windows XP Service Pack 3/Service Pack 2. Nothing seems to help. Has anyone encountered this problem before?


TF2 crashing during map transition

I was playing TF2 last night and I managed to get in to game fine. When the match ended and a new map was loaded, the game crashed for a minute but when it restarted, everything on the screen was white, the sound was looping and the text was displayed as small black blocks. I closed down and restarted the game, entered a new game on a new server but the same thing happened when transitioning from one map to another. This time, everything on the map went multi-coloured and the text, again, displayed as blocks. This time, however, I was able to play. I've never had a problem before. When I started up Steam last night there was a update for the game which I think may be causing my problems. Is this an issue with the game itself or the update? Or is it something to do with my computer, i.e the graphics card.


What is the best way to improve the relations between races in order to start a federation

Whenever I start, I can get a friendly status from the Thalexians, Peltians and Andorians. However to start the federation you need them to have at least 80-90 relation with each other. This takes forever if you sit on one planet and use the friendly option 'improve relations with another race'. Is there a better way to do this ?

Can I send my friend a pack of weapons?

Yes, I'll be the first to admit, I'm not sure "buying" weapons packs is such a good idea, but it is an option, so I start to wonder... If I were to get Bioware Points, could I gift my friend an equipment pack in Mass Effect 3? We've not managed to make it past round 3 more than once, since it's just us two. I was considering getting one pack to see if better equipment might help. Ultimately, the minimum bioware point pack is 400 points, and the equipment packs are 80 and 160 points each. Seems like such a waste to do so then, unless I can send a pack or two my friend's way. Can I gift my friend a weapon pack in Mass Effect 3's multiplayer?


Zbots not working with Counter-Strike 1.6 steam version

I recently bought Counter-Strike 1.6 on Steam. Now I can't find the cstrike/maps sub folder, don´t know where the maps are saved and the zbots are analyzing, restarting, analyzing, restarting... and so on. Is anyone having the same problems? Does anyone have a solution?


XBox 360 has no sound with HDMI cable

I received an xbox for Christmas and I've been trying to connect it. Unfortunately, when I connect it using an HDMI cable, I get picture but no sound. I've made sure my TV is set to "TV Speaker" (it's a Samsung Plasma), but with no luck. I've made sure that my volume is un-muted and turned up in order to hear the game, but no sound seems to be coming from the TV. I also tried to connect the A/V cords in the back of the xbox so that I can route sound to my receiver, thinking that perhaps the HDMI connection on the xbox doesn't support audio, but it seems that when you connect the A/V cable (i.e. the RCA convertor) to the back of the xbox, it makes i


I need explosives! Where can I get them?

Why did I get 250 Station Cash?

I logged into Planetside 2 for the first time, and the thing that was different compared to all my friends is that I had 250 station cash. I can not seem to find any reason why I received it. The only thing I can think of is that I played Everquest I & II , and the original Planetside. I was not in the beta. Was there some promotion I missed?


Why am I unable to talk to Brynjolf?

Once I have finished the quest with Kharliah and that high elf dude, from winterhold I think, I'm supposed to talk to Brynjolf (I think) but, he won't talk to me. Is there someone else I need to contact first? I just can't continue in with the thieves guild till I can do so.


How do I get more presents?

One of the achievements in the holiday update for Ski Safari requires that you collect ten gifts. (They are located on clouds and when you bust through one of them you get 25 coins. Thanks, Santa!) On a normal run (generally 700,000+ points) I'm lucky if I get 3 or 4 presents. What's the trick? How do I get more loots?


Is it better to sprint or walk while cloaked?

Having recently bought the original Crysis on the PC, I found cloaking to be extremely useful for sneaking around. However, I also noticed that my nanosuit's energy decreases much more rapidly when I'm sprinting than when I'm walking. So is it better to walk or run while cloaked (i.e. which one lets you go further from a full energy suit)?


Why is my Hill Orc apparantly no longer a priest?

I'm playing a Hill Orc priest, and I noticed I haven't been gaining any orc followers at all. Up at the top right, my title says "Moop the Fighter" and not "Moop the Proselytizer" or whatever it normally says, and Smite is gone from my abilities list. I also can't train in invocations anymore. What could have happened?


Spoiler: "A Boy and His Blob" (Wii), why the I - III and IV - VI in the final bonus level?

# Spoiler Alert! * * * In `A Boy and His Blob` for the Nintendo Wii, the final bonus stage of the game opens with three doors labeled 1 - 3 in roman numbers (I, II, and III). Each door goes to a sortof "mini-bonus level". COmpleting any of these "mini- bonus" levels leaves you to choose from three _more_ doors, 4 - 6 (IV, V, or VI). Completing any of these tree leaves you with one final puzzle (the same one regardless of the choices made) to get the golden jellybean and complete the level. My question is: what gives? Why is this bonus level unlike all the others? I beat it easily the first time (by using door 1 and then door 3) and instantly suspected there must be something more. I have since been through every door in this level and haven't found any point. What am I missing? Or am I just over-analyzing this? :-)


Sphax crashes minecraft on startup

I'm using Sphax PureBDCraft x256 for 1.7.2, and whenever I load the game it boots the mojang screen and then doesn't respond and I have to close it. However, when I remove Sphax it loads in a couple of seconds. I can still select Sphax from the texture packs menu (when I replace it in the resourcepacks folder) and it loads and fully retextures the game fine. However, the next time the game loads, it continues to crash. How do I fix this?


Is there a way to get an authenticator without a smartphone and without paying?

How can I increase the max selected units in Starcraft single player?

I've been playing Starcraft again, and have found the most annoying thing about it is that I can only select a max of 12 units at a time. This is most annoying when playing as Zerg, as I often want to select all my drones, but often end up selecting my larvae as well. Is there a way of increasing the max number of units you can have selected at a time in single player, either in game, by mod, tweaking a settings file, or another way?


What do the colors of the city dots mean on the map?

For example New York is red (10M population), Boston is blue (4.5M) and Cincinnati is grey (2M). It seems the colors correspond to the population, but what are the thresholds? Is there anything special that the colors themselves dictate beyond an estimation of population?


In Fallout: New Vegas, is it possible to drop bottle caps?

I ask this because I'm playing the New Vegas Trade Center mod and I'd like to put my bottle caps in the bank there. Unfortunately, bottle caps don't appear in my inventory; they only appear in the bottle cap counter at the top right of my pipboy. I notice that Alchestbreach (an online reviewer) doesn't have this problem. Could this be because of some patch? EDIT: Yeah, it's not here at all. Here I'm trying to transfer them to ED-E. ![Trying to transfer to ED-E](http://i.stack.imgur.com/js3Br.jpg) Over here, I'm trading with Chet (ridiculous amount of caps courtesy of not having a life) ![Trading with Chet](http://i.stack.imgur.com/R8EcD.jpg)


How do I make Minecraft look more polished beyond using Shaders

I am a huge fan of the Shaders mod for minecraft, I now can't play it without it installed. But I want to go one step further and make the best looking version of minecraft i can. From all of my research into this I have not managed to find anything that keeps the look of vanilla minecraft but upgrades it at the same time. Shaders mod is amazing and really makes minecraft feel more like a Triple A Title but i want to go further, My question is "Is this Possible, and if so what could be used to move forward?" I am open to the use of mods and even texture packs as long as the vanilla look is maintained. I don't want to deal with texture packs that change how the blocks look, I have heard of many better foliage mods and all the ones I have tried are very buggy with shaders. I am using `SEUS DOF shaders` or `SEUS Motion Blur`, both v10.1. I currently switch between 1.7.2 and 1.7.10. What I want to know is what options I got to make foliage, water etc look even better than with just using shaders. Whether it is with vanilla+ style texture packs or other mods. I am not looking for opinions on which are best I just want the options and I am sure it is limited.


Any information about losing Skill Points?

I've spent my first five Points into different Perks in the Skill Trees. But at Level 6, I decided to save my Points for later (when my Smithing-Skill is grown up). Now, with Level 8, I wanted to hand them out ... But... They're (3 points) all gone! Do you know, if they expire after some time or levels? Can I get them back?


When and where can you catch Salmon and King Salmon?

When exactly can you catch Salmon and King Salmon? The guidebook (which is notoriously unreliable) says Sea (early September) River (late September). Is it anywhere in the sea?

Can someone provide some advice on how to win a field with Gem Bombs only?   * What field to use?   * What skill level and how are skill points distributed?   * What build strategy do you use?


How are rare gems used when I purchase them?

I recently downloaded Bejeweled-Blitz to my iPhone. A recent update has changed the application so that between each game, I am asked if I want to purchase a "Rare Gem". There are 5 different types of Rare Gems and, from what I can gather, the only way to purchase them is to purchase the one you are offered, in between each round. I think these rare gems are offered at random, however, some of them seem be more rare than others. Also, each gems has an explanation as to what it does. I'm not interested in that. What I would like to know is when or if I purchase one of these gems, how do I use it? Will they automatically appear in my next game? Will they only appear for a limited number of rounds? Is it a one-time purchase, and then these gems will randomly show up on the board? I'm curious because even though I enjoy the game, I'm not interested in spending any money to buy additional coins. Since the coins I do have are precious, I don't want to buy and of these gems if they are to expensive for the reward. The benefit of the purchase may be subjective to the user, however, knowing the exact mechanics of how these gems are used can help me figure out whether I'd like to buy them or not.


How do I block with my weapon if I have a weapon equipped in one hand and a spell in the other?

If I have just a weapon equipped (1H or 2H) in the right hand, right clicking will perform a block maneuver. However, I like to have a melee weapon in one hand (usually right hand) and a spell (flame, lightning or heal) in the other. Is it also possible to block with the hand that has a 1H weapon equipped?

Does Gunzerkering regenerate ammo for unequipped weapons?

Is it possible to change companion pet?

As per this question, the only difference between companion pets is aesthetics and a special effect that occurs when you feed fish to your pet. However, I'd still like to know is it possible to change companion pets once you have started a character, or does this involve starting a new character?


What role is a "Heavy" supposed to fill?

Based on the name and my understanding of the TF2 class, a Heavy is a front- lines tanky soldier guy. But that doesn't really seem to be his role in XCOM. Assault soldiers are better at being in the front lines with their mobility and defensive abilities. What, then, is the heavy supposed to be doing on the battlefield? What are the general strategies that are useful for heavy soldiers?


How can I reduce panic in a country?

I had to ignore a call for help from India because the one from Germany had a better reward. Now India is at 4 out of 5 panic bar thingies, and I don't know what I can do to get that back down. They are not funding me currently, but it seems like it would be bad if that bar fills up. What can I do to get the bar to go back down to normal levels? Does panic ever go down over time?


What is the signifigance of Drones being recognized as life forms?

Why is it that my Slug crewmembers count drones as lifeforms when showing the position of enemies using their telepathic abilities? Whenever I have no sensors or only one rank of sensors (or they are damaged, whatever) I can locate all enemies as they move about either ship as red dots, this being the unique utility of the Slug race while in combat. I also however see drones that operate onboard the ship in this manner, this doesn't seem right as they are clearly inorganic, they have no brain waves. Unlike the crew races (Even if they aren't too far removed from Engi) they do not take fire (I know Rockmen exist) or oxygen damage and what should be the dividing factor the 'Anti-Bio Beam' doesn't affect them. This can be annoying and often a repair drone will make me target my Bio Beam at the wrong target prolonging a fight and possibly making me pay an extra couple of hull damage or losing the enemy ship through fleeing or fire damage. Is this an oversight or bug? Is it supposed to help players from a gameplay perspective, allowing them to see what the enemy has with Slugs instead of sensors? Is there some lore reason? How can I avoid this issue of beaming or setting fire to these mechanised- brain-owners, am I forced to upgrade sensors to level 2 even though the Slug ships seem to leave this out on purpose? (Freaking Cyborgs)


How to transfer in single player mode in Fifa 14

This is driving me nuts. I'm new to Fifa as a whole so go easy on me. I'm playing offline in single player mode on Fifa 14 (PC) as a player. I've been "on loan from Barcelona B" playing for some awful team for what seems like 100 matches. When transfer time comes, I have no idea how to transfer. All it gives me is an advance button and 8 hours of time to advance through. I see a bunch of teams with what looks like players being transferred, and money spent on those players, but I'm never transferred. What gives?

But still can not find a way to remove this bloodied face. ![Here is what I look like :](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ij7U4.jpg) How do I get rid of the bloodied face?


How does Minecraft determine the spawn location in a seeded world?

I was wondering if there is any rhyme or reason behind where you spawn in SSP in Minecraft after seeding your world. From my first hand experience, the answer is _yes_ you always spawn with the same x,y co-ordinates on a seed. But I wondered when this came in, and whether what I've seen is backed up by anything (and not just circumstantial).

How do I get Critical hits in Fruit Ninja? And what are they?

I occasionally slice fruits that give me 10 extra? points for a "Critical" hit.   1. Are they worth 10 points total, or 10 extra points on top of whatever you would get?   2. What impact do Critical hits have on Combos? (eg: Do they count as a combo? Is it possible to get a critical hit _and_ a combo?)   3. How do I get them? Is there a specific part of the fruit I should be aiming for, or a specific motion, or perhaps a specific point in their trajectory? Or are they just completely random?

Which walls are flashable?

I found this nice map that indicates where players can Flash across walls. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NrnQV.jpg) Unfortunately, the range for Flash has been reduced, most recently in the V1.0.0.129 patch in November, 2011. Since this image has no timestamp (and shows the old map textures), it's difficult to determine if it's still up-to- date. So which sections of walls are still Flashable? And which sections are tricky to Flash over?

How can you use an Xbox 360 controller with Portal on a Mac?

I would like to use a wired Xbox 360 controller to play Portal on a Mac. I tried following the steps as explained in the Steam Support article “Using an XBox 360 Controller with Source Games.” So I:   * Installed the driver from tattiebogle.net (v0.10).   * Checked that the controller works with the “Xbox 360 Controllers” pane in System Preferences (a.k.a. “Pref360Control”).   * Started Portal, enabled the developer console.   * Opened the developer console and submitted “exec 360controller”. But the game still doesn't respond to the controller. Is there any step I missed or something else I need to do? I'm running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).


Is there a "Right click to move to" in The Old Republic?

Is there a "Right click to move to" option like there is in World of Warcraft? I cannot seem to find if there an option like this.

Is there any benefit to breaking the checkpoint orbs other than gems?

I was passing by one of the checkpoint orbs, struck it, and noticed that it was breakable. After I broke it, I got a gem but also found that I couldn't respawn at it. Is there a incremental reward for breaking all the checkpoints in a stage, or is the reward linear, i.e. you get the same gem for each checkpoint with no reward for breaking them all?

Do guards re-stock on arrows?

Can I break the fall of an Enderman with water?

I am planning on building an XP farm and I am wondering which route to choose. I have the basic setup figured out, I am going to use gravity as main transportation. There will be a tunnel from where I am standing 30 blocks up. Above that the main spawning cubes will be. To make this as simple as possible I want to just let them fall from above. 5 blocks above the ground I want to make a 4 high - 2 wide layer of water where mobs will fall in. I bet this will break their fall and they will reach the ground only with minor damage so there are easy to kill. To make the Enderman a little easier to kill I will have a crusher using sticky pistons on the 3the 3th block. Main Question: I am wondering if the Enderman will TP away when they reach the 4 high area of water, my main guess is that they will. Else I would have to break the fall each 4 blocks or so. A lot more works as I would have to work with open trap doors and pistons.


How to login automatically to Diablo 3?

How can I increase Skyrim's performance on a PC when using graphics enhancement mods?

I recently installed the Sharpshooters Extreme Graphics Vision ENB mod which slowed down things way too much. I'd like to increase Skyrim's performance while still being able to continue using this mod and maintain my graphics levels as they are. My computer currently has an nVidia graphics card and 6 GB of RAM. Is there a way to boost Skyrim's performance without sacrificing the graphical fidelity the Sharpshooters mods provides, either through changing settings or the use of alternative mods that provide the same thing, only more efficiently? UPDATE: ok, so i removed skyrim for now (because i have a whole passle of work to do, and killing the brothers of faeldon isn't one of them) but i also stumbled across the skyrim hialgo performance mod, which might be cool too?


My tree farm is not growing even with bonemeal

I am playing on vanilla 1.7.2, and I trying to get trees to grow underground. I gave 60 bonemeal to a tree, and it would not grow... How many blocks high does my room need to be? Here is a picture. ![http://i.imgur.com/8kzD3er.png](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rf3RO.png) I realized I actually that picture is not updated, I raised the ceiling by one block. I googled on tree growth behavior and they said room has to be 4-5 blocks high, but the trees still won't grow.


How can I edit .bsa/.esp file for translation?

I cannot use Nexusmods so I download mods from other sources where no registration is required. I downloaded "UFO-Compatibility- Version-v1.2j-b15-ru", but it shows Russian language in the game, which make me frustrated. So, I want to edit .BSA/.ESP file in order to translate Russian words to English. Would you please tell me how to edit these files?


What's the point in choking enemies in Metal Gear Solid 4?

I've never played any of the Metal Gear Solid games before and I think I've just made the mistake of jumping straight into MGS4 without a clue. It seems that a few minutes after choking out a guard, he gets back up and immediately calls in reinforcements, so I'm wondering what's the point in choking them out in the first place - wouldn't it be better to find another way past an enemy or just outright kill him, and if so, why is there an option to choke them in the first place? Also, should I even bother playing the game non-lethally during my first playthrough? Is there any way to permanently keep enemies down without killing them or am I playing the game wrong?


What software do I need to use a Playstation DualShock 2 pad on OS X?

Where can I find lots of petty creatures to charge my soul gems?

I'm training my enchanting skills and the limiting factor currently is the availability of filled soul gems. Most vendors only have very few of them or none available, and they are also considerably more expensive than the empty ones. I'd now like to fill up my collection of petty soul gems with souls. Are there any areas with respawning low-level creatures that I could use, or is my only chance to randomly roam Skyrim and hope that I find suitable creatures?


How can I see how many league games I lost in Starcraft 2?

One change in patch 1.3 was that "Loss counts are no longer displayed in Profile and Ladder pages for players below Master League." Are they displayed anywhere else? While I might understand that I can't see this information for somebody else, I would really like to know how _my own_ win/loss ratio is. I want to see if I'm doing well, and knowing how many games I lost seems to be important for that. Can I somehow find out how many games of each kind I played in total, or how many I lost?


Do double-enchantments not work in 1.0?

In 1.9pre, you could enchant items multiple times, but in MC 1.0.0, nothing even comes up when I put an enchanted item on an enchantment table. Has this been removed? Is it a bug? I am in SMP, if that's important.


Working iron tile doesn't produce any iron output

Fairly new to this game, but it's my understanding that to gain more strategic resource output, that resource must be worked. I'm working three iron mines, 1 in my capital adjacent to the city tile that yields 2, and 2 in another city that yields 6 and 2 (not adjacent to the city tile). By working them I mean I've checked them in the city view so they're green. Still, my overall iron output is only 2, and is used up by 2 longswordmen units, so I can't produce any catapults. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Any help much appreciated :)


Should I grind the early missions in order to Fulton Recover more comrades?

You can replay missions in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and each time you play, any soldiers you capture with Fulton Recovery make their way to Mother Base, where you can put them to work. More members of the MSF means more money and research for me, but most of the soldiers that I'm capturing in the very early game have D and E ranked stats. **Is it worth grinding the early missions to build up the Mother Base population early, or should I hold out for higher-ranked captures later in the game?**

How to throw enemies into a pit in Dwarf Fortress

How do I throw goblins or any other creatures into a pit? I have 3 level pit where I want to throw a variety of enemies into. The lowest level is the actual pit, and spans 6x6 squares. I have specified the zone for this, and picked 'pit'. The uppermost layer is where the dwarves are supposed to go to throw the enemies into the pit. The enemy would fall through the second layer and then land in the pit. These two layers have a 1x1 hole where the enemies are supposed to fall through. I have specified each of the 1x1 hole to be a channel. When I want my dwarves to throw a goblin into the pit, I assign the pit to that goblin and the game is supposed to assign a dwarf to handle that action. But nothing happens. What am I missing?

In the trophy list there is a hidden ending called the white ending, getting it earns you the Wise Man trophy. I'm having a heck of a time finding out how to get it online. What is the white ending and how do I get it? I've played through several times and I don't seem to have any clue as to how to get it other than these two ominous, unopenable doors in the hospital. Note this is for the PS3 and PS Vita version of the game (Director's cut) I'm not sure if the PC version includes this ending.

Can I turn off push notifications for The Simpsons: Tapped Out?

While I really love playing The Simpsons: Tapped Out, I find the push notifications annoying, especially the soundbites that go along with them. I want to be able to have the sound up on my phone so that I can hear if someone calls me or the like, but I hate those notifications. I can't seem to find a way to turn them off, though. Am I just missing a setting, or is there really no way to turn off the push notifications for this game?

What is this long black Nintendo DS thing?

I can't seem to figure out what this is. I know at one point I bought it at one point because I needed it for something but I can't really remember but I know it was important. It looks like a cartridge extender or something. I haven't seen it in about four years so I honestly can't remember. I tried searching on Google but I didn't have any luck. It sort of looks like an adapter but this is for the DS Lite so I don't know what it'd be adapting. Edit: I did a search for ROM/flash cards and I can't seem to find anything thats what I have. Just R4 cards. Edit: here's an image I found which appears to have what I have. It's apparently a ROM/homebrew thing. I do remember getting it at Gamestop so I don't know why I got it: ![1](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rs0aB.jpg) And here's what I have ![1](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hWcTk.jpg) ![2](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZYRG0.jpg) ![3](http://i.stack.imgur.com/XBzl6.jpg)

What should I know when playing WoW for the first time?

I am considering trying out WoW. I don't want a subscription, I doubt I'll be hooked and if I have to grind then I am instantly quitting or spending the remaining time exploring (then quitting). But as for strategies, help, common early game mistakes, etc., what should I know? Do I need to join a guild? Can I play through most of the game content without one? How do I find a guild? Questions like these are what I'm interested in having answered. I am likely only going to try out the trial and quit when it's done. It's really just to see what the game is about rather than actually try to play it through.


What causes you to become Unbeatable in PvP?

Today I was "Unbeatable" in PvP for the first time, accompanied by the normal "An ally is unbeatable!" announcement. Upon Googling it I found that this is awarded when you get 4 medals in a single spawn (without dying). However, I had 7-8 medals at the time and hadn't died all match, so the information I found elsewhere would appear to be wrong. Does anyone know exactly what causes you to become Unbeatable?

Can you now get villagers through zombie spawners?

I see people playing around with Minecraft version 1.4, and I see that zombie spawners now also spawn infected villagers. On another video I saw how you can cure an infected villager. I wonder if you could cure the villagers that are spawned from the zombie spawner. This would be great for me. I have been wanting to bring villagers to my base, but it would be quite a project as the nearest village is miles away. I have a zombie spawner just under my base, so that would be ideal. **EDIT:** I answered the question bellow with screenshots. Here is a video I made of the system:

Windowed Full Screen - Multi Monitor Diablo 3

I have a Multi-Monitor setup with 3 screens using my 2 GTX 580's I would love to use the Windowed Full Screen video option however when I check this with 1920x1080 it stretches the screen across all 3 monitors. Normally I would be thrilled, but I happen to think it detracts from the experience and I would rather use the other two screens for something more productive. I have tried messing around in the NVidia Control Panel to no effect...

What is the point of upgrading my house?

I've just bought the first available house and I've spent all my money on it. Great, now I have a place to store my dragon bones until I become Mr. Smith (oh dear what a pun), but what's the point in upgrading the furnishings and such?   * Is it just to add more storage space? Isn't every chest infinite size?   * Is it just to add alchemy stations, etc? Aren't these readily and freely available elsewhere?   * Is it just to look nicer? Isn't that just purely vanity and a waste of gold?

What is the difference between a "carry" and a "fighter"?

I have been rather confused about this for a while, mainly when someone says they will play their Champion as a carry when the Champion is not classified as one. So, I suppose I am also wondering the definition of fighter too and what makes a carry a carry, more than just the definition.


Is there a way to practice moves against a friend without the match ending?

Where did these NPCs go?

A couple of NPCs in Riften seem to be permanently missing: The stable owner, and the priest at the Temple of Mara who carries out marriages. Now I can't buy a horse from that particular stable, and can't become married. Is this a bug, or have they died? I remember a dragon attack outside of the city and possibly going on a rampage as a werewolf. If they are dead, is there any way at all to revive them?

When should I start the DLC?

I'm late to the Borderlands 2 party, but I picked up the Season Pass for a steal. I'm still only in the teens as far as my level is concerned. However, there are now 3 DLC packs out and I've got them all installed. Sometimes it's tempting to go away from the main quest and just jump into something new and potentially interesting. In BL1, I played through the DLC between playthroughs of the game, treating the add-ons like continuations of the game post-final-boss. I'm not sure if this is a good idea in BL2 (or even if it was smart in BL1, honestly...) Is there a recommended level for starting the DLCs? Will I encounter enemies that are too hard if I go early, or too easy if I go late? Are there some weapons or quest rewards that I really can't get the most of until after I'm a certain level?


How to complete Borderlands 2 missions in right order?

I already completed Borderlands 2 on normal mode many month's ago. But without any DLC. Now I have all released 4 DLC and my version is 1.7.0. I want start play again from level 1. But I'm completely confusing how to play. Can you tell me like below:   1. Complete all main & optimal missions in normal mode.   2. Teleport to "name here" for "name here" DLC, and complete it.   3. Teleport to "name here" for "name here" DLC, and complete it.   4. Teleport to "name here" for "name here" DLC, and complete it.   5. Teleport to "name here" for "name here" DLC, and complete it.   6. Change difficult mode to "mode here".   7. Repeat again. I don't know which DLC requires what level. I don't know how to reach those DLC zones. I don't know which DLC should I play first and which one later. edit: wtf is that playthrough 1, playthrough 2, playthrough 2.5 things?

Reconnecting to Battle.net while in-game?

Immediately after I enter the world on a slower computer, I am sometimes disconnected from Battle.net. The game functions properly, except RealID is disabled. To regain RealID, one solution is to relog, but this does not always solve the issue (and it's undesirable when logging in takes a few minutes). Is there any way to reconnect to Battle.net while in-game without relogging?


Why are vendors offering (much) less gold for items than expected?

As the title says, I've noticed that vendors seem to be willing to buy my items for a lot less than the "value" listed outside of the vendor UI. Examples:   * Potion of Lasting Potency is 311 gold in my "items" view, but Lucan Valerius will only pay 126 gold for it   * Similarly for my Axe of Whiterun: 201 gold in "items," only 81 gold at the vendor   * 500 gold for Scroll of Bane of the Undead in "items," 203 gold at the vendor and so on. What's the deal here?


Can I transfer a profile onto a different PS3 account?

My dad set up a PS3 profile for me a while ago on his PS3 with an account he made since I didn't have my own e-mail address at the time. Now I have my own PS3 and e-mail address and would like to transfer my old profile onto my own PS3. Since it's under one of my fathers accounts I'm not sure if I am able to get it. Are multiple profiles on PS3's in separate accounts from each other or are they all under the same account on a PS3? If they are all under the same account is there a way to transfer a profile onto a different account?


In my first game I spawned on a small island. What do I do next?

What to do now?


Does the newest Nvidia driver support 3D Vision in Diablo 3?

I used version 300+ http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/3123040038?page=2 says that version 280+ already support diablo 3. Yet when I tried diablo 3 in 3D I do not see anything different. It still look 3D but as any 3D run on full screen. It's not impressive. What am I missing? Do I need to set up a 3D profile for diablo 3? If so how? Some said that diablo 3 is simply not 3D ready yet. In general any video card have data on the depth. So I wonder why the game has to be 3D ready? As long as they display 3D rendered images any video card should be able to incorporate that.


What skills can kill a hero effected by Shallow Grave?

In DotA and Dota 2 there is a hero called the Shadow Priest. His Shallow Grave skill is particularly tricksy, as it can render a hero immune to lethal damage for several seconds, effectively capable of preventing death multiple times over its duration. However, this ultimate does have a soft spot, it only protects heroes from LETHAL DAMAGE. It does NOT protect against instant death effects such as Axe's Ultimate skill.      _Other than Axe's Ultimate, what other instant death effects does Shallow Grave fail to protect you from?_

How does Heroes of Might & Magic 3 choose which music to play at the beginning of a battle?

There are eight different short audio clips played at the beginning of every battle in HoMM III. The corresponding file names are battle0{0..7}.wav (contained in one of the .snd archives). How does the game choose which one to play: is it random, or does it depend on the battle terrain / other factors?


When should I start drinking?

My current strategy for Desktop Dungeons is to collect potions and save them up for the last battle. I only attack monsters if I can defeat them without using a potion, and then heal by revealing more parts of the map. But I've started wondering, would it be more advantageous to use potions earlier to help me defeat creatures that are above my level and therefore get experience faster, rather than just using them for the boss fight?


Why have I only found items as high as level 61 even though I am now level 66?

How to deal with Arthur's long range assault in MVC3?

I have a friend who consistently uses Arthur as the last guy in his team. As I take out his first two throw-away characters, he gradually builds meter until Arthur finally comes out, summons his golden armor, activates X-Factor, and then just throws everything he has at me. The chip damage of this onslaught is insane, meaning blocking is not an option, and you'd better not even think of bringing out a poorly timed assist because he will kill it in one hit. I've had very inconsistent results super jumping over all the obstacles, as well as teleporting around him with Dormammu. I've had the best results with Dr. Doom as he can shoot projectiles as well as super from the air, but he has to come down sometime, and when he does, Arthur pushes him back with his heavy projectiles that eventually knock him back to the opposite wall or kill him straight up. How do you deal with characters like Arthur that are always throwing projectiles at you, leaving you no chance to breathe? Especially against X-Factor Golden Armor Arthur where blocking will get you killed?


Why do high-level players flick through control groups constantly?

When watching live-streams from high-level players I noticed they tend to constantly flick through control groups very fast. I watched a stream of a player switching between _drone_ , _overlord_ , _hatch_ very quickly from the very beginning of the game. That made me wonder why he would do such a thing? I sometimes do some switching between control groups myself, but that's mainly to check status of things, eg. _is that chrono-boost ready?_ , _zealot done yet?_ , _time to inject larva?_ etc. But constantly checking a drone or overlord just doesn't seem to make much sense to me. Am I missing something important here?

What is the best way of regaining rep as an Unholy Traitor?

I recently loaded up an old file I had where I started out as an Unholy Traitor turned pirate and is now the scourge of the galaxy to every none pirate/Yaki/Teladi. Now, I feel like doing some of the new missions introduced in the recent updates with my fully decked out Brigantine, but no race is offering me any worthy missions and I can't quite blow up xenon/khaak ships in those sectors without blowing up all their sector defence first since they hate me (I wonder why, haha). Is there a sure fire way of regaining faction with all the races so I can do some of the storyline missions?


What is the ideal play through path for the GOTY Edition of Borderlands?

I am back on a Borderlands kick and am at a loss for an "optimized" play though sequence of play though 1 & 2 of the core game and the 3 expansions (Zombie Island, General Knoxx and Claptrap's). I know that play through 2.5 (meeting the evil in a can a second time) makes all the mobs your level for the rest of the core game. Does that also bump play though 2 mobs in the DLC to your level if you haven't completed them? How about DLC play though 1 mobs? There seems to be way more content than leveling available and I rather avoid facerolling as much as possible.


Starcraft 2 AI Mods

Is the name of the Uplink corporation administrator discoverable?

Normally, in the game Uplink, when I want to hack into a corporate bank I have to look up the administrator name on the Public Access Server of the corporation, so I can phone him and obtain a voice recording to bypass the voice authentication. However, in the case of the Uplink company, this is not available on the Uplink PAS, and the bank lists the administrator as "Unlisted". Is there any way I can find out the name of the Uplink admin in order to hack into the bank?


The achievement text for 'Addicted' states, "Play Adventure Mode 1000 times." The daily challenge is not within the menu option for adventure mode; however, when you die in Daily Challenge mode it presents you with statistics in the same manner as adventure mode, complete with a Death count. I figured your death count plus number of wins would need to equal 1000 in order to get the Addicted achievement, but if Daily Challenge runs do not count, I could be further away than I thought (especially when I usually only play the Daily Challenge). Do Daily Challenge runs count towards your progress for the Addicted achievement?

How Do Hostile Mobs Spawn in Minecraft?

So I found a village near where I originally spawned and I expanded on it. I thought I could keep it safe by building a 3-4 block high wall around the village, unfortunately this didn't help (now all my villagers are dead!). I still find mobs inside the city walls and inside of the university I built. The university has a basement, and although I usually keep the door to it closed I'll still find the occasional spider, zombie, skeleton warrior or even creepers. So my question is how do mobs spawn? Does the presence or absence of light make any difference? Are other factors involved?

How can I slow a game down?

I'm trying to play The Binding of Isaac on my laptop, but the game is just running too fast for me. I can slow it down if I unplug my laptop, which I believe throttles my CPU. I'd like to find some generic way to artificially slow a game down. Questions similar to this have been asked before, but I don't want to have to load up a VM or pay money for a solution. Is there some way to slow down or throttle my CPU slightly in order to make games like this slightly easier?


What constitutes a no-bounty stealth kill?

I would like to know how Skyrim determines whether I was detected killing someone. For example: There is this temple in Makreth, where there are some women down below the main hall. I lockpicked my way there, they stopped me and things ultimately led to a fight. I killed them, nobody was around to see it, yet when I came out of the temple, the guards were all over me... I wasn't in stealth when fighting, because there were no witnesses whatsoever, so why was I still considered a killer?


Is there a way to turn off the camera 'wobble' on attack?

I've already altered the FOV in Dead Island, but I'm noticing that the constant "wobble" of the screen when making attacks is getting a bit disorienting and distracting. I'm OK with the camera shaking and such when not-so-common events happen (even getting knocked down is fine), but the constant back and forth of the camera while swinging weapons is getting to me. Any way to turn this off or reduce the effect?


What are the different rarity colors in Dead Island?

So far in Dead Island I've noticed white, green, blue, and purple items. These seem to indicate different rarities, similar to the classification system used in Borderlands, but I don't know what these colors actually mean. Is green more rare than blue? What are the different rarity colors?


Are there thunderstorms in Minecraft: XBox 360 Edition?

Do thunderstorms take place in Minecraft: XBox 360 Edition? I have heard they do, and I seem to recall seeing a loading screen tip about lightning hitting mobs, but I have never seen one, and my online research seems inconclusive. If they do occur, how do you tell them apart from normal rain? I have heard they are darker, but is it very noticeable?


Does the "Third and 30" achievement track across multiple saves?

The requirement for the "Third and 30" achievement in _Saints Row: The Third_ says `Spend over 30 hours in Steelport`. If I have 20 hours on one save file and 10 on another, will I get the achievement? Or does this have to be completed with 30 hours in on one save file?


With the poisoner perk from the pickpocket tree, do you get a bounty for killing people?

In the `Pickpocket` skill tree, the `Poisoner` perk allows you to plant poisons on someone and have them suffer the effects. I was trying to determine whether to get it, so wondered if killing someone by planting a poison on them will still cause a bounty?


Is there any reason to keep my Screaming Demon Ring?

I stopped getting the bonus experience from this before I ever left Kingsmouth (I was informed you could tell when you stopped getting the experience because the preorder pet stops giving a buff at around the same point) and it was quickly exceeded in stats for the slot as well. So, I haven't been wearing it for quite some time now. Is there any reason for me to hold onto this item, or should I just toss it? Can I reobtain one if I feel like I have a need for it?
