Should I be receiving emails from my squadmates?

I downloaded the iOS free app for Mass Effect 3, which you can use for seeing the codex, and send ships to increase galactic readiness, among other things. Fun little app. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/f2vaV.png) However, one feature was that I was going to receive mails from squadmates as I interacted with them in-game. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KY6rH.png) I am well advanced in the game, already romanced someone, but I've yet to receive a message. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/XG3IN.png) I am logged in with Origin. Is this a bug? Should I do something in the game to start receiving them? Is the AppStore description a lie?


What causes experience discrepency between members of the same party in Dungeon Defenders?

I have started a new apprentice in the Ranked mode of Dungeon Defenders, along with my brother who has made a squire. Both heroes have started at 0 XP, and have only been played at the same time. Yet up until level 20, I was 5k XP behind, and since then, my character has been steadily going ahead, to the point that I am now 20K XP ahead. Since we've only compared experience every few level ups, we can't tell which match these differences occurred in. According to this question and the wiki, experience should be shared evenly among all party members, so I don't know what has caused this.


How do I increase my village's income in Ninja Village?

This seems like a simple question, but I'm lost on how to actually significantly increase output; even as I gain more villagers I don't seem to gain much more money per month. I've built multiple workshops and lumber/ore depots. I've got plenty of supplies but my stores are always being sold out (even though I only have one of each). Is there something I'm missing to from this equation?


How do developing sequels work? When's a good time to develop one?

I recently got an option to develop sequels: ![Develop Sequel](http://i.stack.imgur.com/uKpOw.png) When's a good time to develop a sequel?

How do I unlock the Onion Knight job?

In the original _Final Fantasy III_ , Onion Knights were the default class. When the game was remade for the Nintendo DS, Freelancers became the default class and Onion Knights were unlocked via a secret quest involving the Mognet. When this remake was ported to iOS devices, Mognet was removed. However, the Wikipedia article for _Final Fantasy III_ mentions this: > A port of the remake for iOS was released on March 24, 2011. In which the > game-play and graphics where improved sound was also remastered But the > Mail/Mognet to other players was removed. And the "Onion Knight" was found > in another quest. What is that quest, and what are the steps one needs to take to unlock the Onion Knight?

When you breed a new generation, it's possible to end up with more than one in a litter. These extras are considered packmates, which you can use to distract enemies or help you hunt. Is it possible, after losing one or more packmates after a big fight, to consume their corpses to gain calories and restore fullness?

The ring of Resurgence

Because I sold my one of my dragon masks, I have to go back from an old save (I'm PS3) to get them, so it kinda feels like I'm starting over. It's level 37, so it's not too bad. I have most of the stuff I really want, however I don't have the ring of resurgence, which regenerates magicka 80%. Anyone know where it is so I can keep my eye out for it when I get to it?


Can't log into new Bukkit Server install

I am setting up a new MineCraft server and would like to use Bukkit but when I try to connect with the client I get "IP Address lost connection" within the server window and within the client I get "Can't connect to server" even on the localhost. I completely turned off my Windows Firewall and am now getting java.netConnectException: Connection refused: no further information:" I set up vanilla Minecraft and that works fine. I have port forwarding on, although it wouldn't impact the localhost attempts.

Is there a way to repair the audio of an Xbox 360?

My Xbox 360 has serious audio issues. Whenever I start it up I get a persistent crackling noise. I've tried two different HDMI cables so my guess is that there is something wrong internally. Does anyone here know if there's anything I can do on the inside of the machine to repair w/e the issue may be?


What's the difference between a plumber and a princess?

So I've already determined that Luigi does a yoshi-style flutter jump, Peach floats for an extra second, and Toad has trouble getting vertical air, but I'm looking for a more robust list: How do each of the playable characters compare in running, jumping, and other special features?


Is there any penalty for using explosives against EXALT units?

From my first two EXALT missions, it seems that EXALT agents cannot be stunned, and that EXALT weapons do not give weapon fragments and are not especially useful. So, is there any reason for me not to carpet bomb their squads with grenades and rockets? ;-)


When is it appropriate to farm in the mid-late game?

I've been having a lot of difficulty lately when playing a carry with being caught out of position when the opposing team goes for Baron, especially when we're behind and I'm trying to either shove a pushed lane, most notably bot, or get the money for an item so I'm actually ready to fight. Ideally I know I want to be close to Baron's pit when farming, either taking jungle creeps or sticking to mid. But what if such an opportunity doesn't present itself? So what situation is the ideal time to farm at the point in the game when Baron becomes the focal point? Am I completely wrong in all of my assumptions so far?


What clips my wings?

I have the Collector's Edition of Diablo 3 and I love the little set of angel wings you get. I notice that when I log into the game again I have to re-use my item to apply the wings to my character. What I can not figure out is why they some times just up and vanish however. I have tried testing out teleporting and using the town portal to hop in and out but it has not caused my wings to disappear as of yet. Does anyone know what could be causing this besides starting a new game? Oh, and is there a way to just make the wings permanent in some manner?


Monks and the effectiveness of 2-handed weapons

I am just starting a Monk build in Diablo 3, and notice that a dual-wielding setup or a weapon/shield combo is far more favorable than using a Daibo, due to the ability to equip more prefixes and faster attack speed. Are there any reasons to use a Daibo instead, besides the Spirit regeneration bonus?


Marked For Death - everyone or just me?

The demon hunter skill Marked For Death has this description: > Marks an enemy. The marked enemy will take 12% additional damage for the > next 30 seconds. Does this damage increase apply for other players as well or just the character that creates the mark?


Why would anyone want to use the pass power Exp. Point Power ↓?

I can definitely understand the rationale for Exp. Point Power ↑, but don't understand why someone would want to prevent their Pokemon from gaining experience.


Severe error when trying to launch Voltz server

At first I had an issue with Voltz, as I wanted to play with a friend on a small little private server, but when I ran the Minecraft_server.jar file, it wouldn't spawn in any of the modpack's items stating that no such item with ID XXXX exists. So I was told to run the batch file entitled launch.bat.. After fixing the java directory issue, it gave me a couple of severe errors when trying to download a couple .jar files (scala-library.jar, deobfuscation_data...zip, bcprov-jdk150n.jar, asm-all-4.1.jar, guava-14.0.jar) So I tried to manually download them, and once I did, I wiped the lib file clean and copied my newly downloaded files into the directory. I still got the same result saying that I never downloaded the files. Any help is appreciated.

I don't have any infected pokemon, but now that it's been made easier I'm interested in EV training. Is it worth getting my pokemon infected if I'm planning to use Super Training to do the EV training? Does it have any effect?


Where can I get an Infernus early in the game (before unlocking third island)

It's all in the title really. I'd like to know where/if I can find an Infernus rather early in the game. I have unlocked the second (middle) island. Is there a place more likely to spawn them or a mission that will make me acquire one at this stage? **edit:** playing PC version


Contract: recover lost kerbals from orbit

For one contract, I'm supposed to recover someone stuck in orbit. I've done it with the grabbing arm but I want to know if it's possible to get the lost guy to board a ship with an empty seat. Tried to sync orbits and take control of him but game doesn't let you do that. There doesn't seem to be any right-click options concerning it either. Any help appreciated.


When does the Town Shield kick in after an attack?

i've noticed when i get attacked or when i attack a Town Shiled is deployed (at no cost when it was on myself) for 12-16 hours. In an 9 hours period i was attacked twice.

What strategy to use on the guy with shield near the radio tower in Tomb Raider 2013 / Definitive Edition?

Until this point all enemies where not hard to beat, but the big guys near the radio tower annoyed me. In the end I was able to kill him by emptying my machine and handgun on him a few times. Every now and then he seems to drop his shield when being fired at. Also I noticed that when you try to climb the wall to the burning roof, a Molotov cocktail is thrown to you. I was unable to time this so it would also hurt the shielded guy. So, my question: what's the best strategy here?


Minecraft server 1.6.2 (Vanilla), keepinventory

Is there a trick to skinning and looting?

Is there a trick to this? I just spent a good 30 seconds trying to pickup a relic despite tea-bagging the stupid thing. I've had similar trouble with skinning animals; finding that I have to be in a specific spot for it to work at all. Don't even get me started on the number of times I've thrown my super awesome weapon when trying to loot an enemy! Is there a trick to this, or a place or stand or what? It can't surely be a matter of running around tea-bagging corpses for 5 minutes after every battle!

Strangified Cosmetic Items?

What exactly are the properties of Strangfied cosmetic items in Team Fortress 2? I am not rich enough to afford one to figure it out on my own. I also don't understand what the 'point' value on the item means. I've checked the wiki, and it doesn't describe how Strangified cosmetic items exactly function.


Freecam in DoTA 2

I'm trying to take a good look at my DoTA 2 gear (on the characters) and I seem to be unable to get freecam working... The thing about Hero Ground Chase is that you can't see UNDERNEATH the character without the camera annoyingly clipping on the ground. Is there any way to make a freecam that is pretty much like a first-person game, only that it is flying (like the "fc" command in Skyrim)? Basically, a freecam where you move with the arrow keys and rotate with the mouse... Similar to Skyrim's WASD and mouse freecam movement.


Why don't I get rewards from the Books of Ryu in other volumes?

In .hack, if you didn't lock the Books of Ryu and get all the rewards from from them in a previous volume you would still get them in the next volume. However, in .hack//G.U, if you did the same, in the next volume you would get cash rewards rather than BGM or Wallpapers. Am I missing something when I start a new volume or do I have to unlock all the book before going onto the next volume?


Why do demons imply I'm weak when I ask for a card?

In _Shin Megami Tensei: Persona_ , when I get the option to obtain a spell card, some demons say I'm being cocky or something and I should get stronger first. The thing is, one demon was level 21 and Maki (who was talking to the demon) was Level 23 and had a Persona Level of 23, yet the demon still said I needed to get stronger. What is it I'm missing that makes demons think I'm weak?


BF2142 keeps disconnecting me from servers?

After connecting to any server, after a while (10 seconds to 5 minutes), I get disconnected with the message: "Connection to the server was lost." Any idea how to prevent this?


Samara vs Morinth, benefits of each choice?

What I'm asking here is which Asari provides the greater access to content, the best war assets, possible romance options, etc. I know that Morinth will be turned into a Banshee if you choose to kill Samara during her loyalty mission, but as I have never killed Samara I'm unsure on the rest of the details. Does this mean that she won't appear at all during Mass Effect 3 until the end, at which point she is already a Banshee? Does this prevent her from appearing in any of the additional DLC for Mass Effect 3? I am presuming that due to Morinth being Ardat-Yakshi that any attempts to pursue a relationship with her will result in orgasmic death. Are there any other content or gameplay bonuses to choosing one over the other?


How to scan QR codes with a Nintendo 3DS?

Okay, I really think I'm slightly insane. I looked for guides like this one, but I just can't find that on my 2DS camera software. As I can't find such a guide for the Nintendo 2DS, I think that it uses the same software as the 3DS. This is what guides tell me to look for in the camera software: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/npMdi.png) But I just don't have this button visible. This is how my camera app looks in the bottom screen: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GrwBd.jpg) That parrot gives me some basic help for the camera, but there seem to be no magic to morph him into a QR code button. How to achieve this?

How do I advance a quest through Gibbed's Save Editor?

I am trying to configure a save file to advance a quest but I have no idea how to use Gibbed's Save Editor. Someone care to walk me through? I need to advance through a problematic part of a quest. Pics would help.


How do I move left or up?

On the menu it says that to navigate, you have to use the arrow keys, but only the right and down arrow keys actually do anything. This makes it very hard do perform certain tasks (such as saving) as the cursor will appear on the bottom right on the pause menu. Does it mean that there are other keyboard controls that I'm missing or have I managed to change these buttons without realising?


How do I switch weapons/teams without restarting the game?

Whenever I am on a computer that has the required OpenGL requirements, I will always choose to play OpenSpades instead of Ace of Spades. It's a fun game, but there's been something that I've wanted to know for a while. How do you switch weapons or teams without restarting OpenSpades? I know the buttons are `,` and `.` in the regular Ace of Spades, but this won't work in OpenSpades. Thanks in advance; I hope there's not something obvious that I'm missing :)


Where can I find some good 2-person strategies/tips for Halloween Spooktacular on Insane?

I'm struggling with Spooktacular on Insane, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips, or knew of any guides. The only guide I've seen is pre-7.07 and no longer works due to the squire nerf. Usually I only play with my boyfriend, so we only have 2 people in the game, so I am ideally looking for strategies that would work with only 2 people in the game. **Edit** We've come close to beating it with a combination of Monk Electric, Strength Drain, and Ensnare auras for DPS, Mage Fireball towers for lightening immunes, and Squire SliceNDice at a few chokes, but we can't complete the final Mini Ogre wave, even with everything healed up. The rest of it has gotten fairly easy. The biggest problem is there are only 2 of us, and 3 crystals to defend, and the mini ogres just walk through our squire towers, even w/ strength drain active. SliceNDice have 9k hp, and we tried with spike blockades which have over 12k. We just can't be everywhere at once, especially with the assassians all over us. We've managed to make it to the last 100 enemies but a crystal always falls.

How to fix glitched bounty in Solstheim

I'm playing the latest DLC for Skyrim, Dragonborn. I didn't commit any crime, but somehow I got a bounty on me. I've read that this may be a glitch with one of the quests I'm doing, "Cleansing the stones". My problem is that I can't get rid of the bounty. If I travel to Solstheim's main city, Raven Rock, Captain Veleth starts attacking me, and then the rest of the guards join in. It doesn't matter if I sheathe my weapons, they keep being hostile and don't give me a chance to pay the bounty, get arrested or anything. I've tried speaking to a guard before he becomes hostile, but it didn't solve the problem neither, as he doesn't give any dialog option. Did anybody have this problem? How did you solve it? As a last resource, I could go back to an older saved game, but I did a lot of progress since the last one and I wouldn't like to lose it :(

Can you select which scorestreak reward to activate?

When I get a number of scorestreaks at once, can you select which one to activate? Is it always the most recent streak rewarded? My scorestreak combo is care package, counter-UAV, and the Guardian. They all unlock at or around the same score and the Guardian gets activated first, where I would ideally like to save that one for later.


Do ranged sneak attacks using bows or magic deal extra damage?

Melee sneak attacks are supposed to deal _a lot_ of extra damage, as I'm a magic user currently I'm wondering if the same holds true for magic attacks performed while sneaking. Do any ranged attacks like bows or magic deal extra damage while sneaking? Is there any difference here between archery and magic?


Does changing the ini file stop you from getting achievements?

I started playing _Skyrim_ and got the 'Unbound' achievement. I was having a couple of performance issues, so I exited and tweaked the `SkyrimPrefs.ini` file, but now I've just completed Bleak Falls Barrow and I haven't received the achievement. I did the FOV change in the console also, but immediately left the game (without saving), so I can't see that having affected it. (Or could it?) Any idea if changing the `.ini` could break the achievements? Maybe its because I edited the one in   `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Skyrim`, and not   `C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Skyrim` ?


Tactics for high score on Plague Inc

I find the iOS game "Plague Inc" pretty easy since the same tactic seems to work on every level. _I simply evolve air and water transmission along with cold and drug resistance until every single human being is infected. After that I just evolve coughing, "immunity something" and the next one giving me total organ collapse. The bodies hit the floor after that and the DNA points given during the downfall of society is invested in mitigating the effects of the cure. This tactic never fails me (I play normal difficulty) but it never seems to give me a better than average score (3 / 5 biohazard symbols)._ **My question:** What is the score based upon? Time to complete the level? % cure developed? If I completed the level with minimum evolution? Something else? Everything above? If you don't know the above; Do you get higher scores? How?

Is it possible to have 4 online players in the same game of Spec Ops (survival mode)? So far I've only been in teams of 2 but I don't know if that's just a coincidence.


Are 'transfarring' or cross-game saves region free?

Several games available on both the Vita and PS3 allow you to sync your progress between platforms, for example, the MGS HD collection for PS3 lets you 'transfar' your MGS2 & 3 saves to the Vita version and back while Peace Walker HD 'transfars' with the PSP version. PS3 games like MLB 12 The Show and the future Sly 4 and PS Heroes All Star Battle Royal will support progress sharing as well. Since PSP, PS3 and Vita are region free, you may have any of these games from different regions. Do I need to have all versions of the same region? Or will transfarring work even if I have games from different region? Note: ~~Right now since MGS HD collection is the only available game to support this which came out on different regions (MLB 12 was North America only), so I assume answers will be valid to the MGS collection only.~~ The current games which support this now are MGS HD Collection, MotorStorm RC, MLB 12 The Show (Only the Vita version came out in Europe) & PSASBR. Future games should include R&C:Q-Force/FFA, Sly 4 and ZOE HD.


Which DLC works in multiplayer?

Particularly, which DLC isn't explicitly intended for multiplayer but works in multiplayer? I know that the Agility Skill DLC is like this. And I think both the Pistol Burst DLC and the Pistol Silencer DLC are like this too, but I can't test it without buying them, so I'm hoping someone who has already bought them can say for sure.

Is there a way to know what areas are appropriate for certain levels?

In Lord of the Rings Online, is there a way to know which areas are appropriate for certain levels? My friends and I have been playing the game for a while now and following the Epic Book quest lines starting in Bree, and are now to book 3, however we are just barely high enough level to get the quests in the areas we are at, and the guys we fight just destroy us if there are more than like 2 of them. Where should characters in their high 20's to low 30's be questing? We've wandered back towards the Shire, but all the quests there are for levels 10 or lower, and are barely worth doing. Help?


Are there any benefits to leaving trees, stumps, or shrubs on my land?

Occasionally, trees, shrubs, or stumps will spawn randomly on my map. If I have a worker free, I can spend some elixir and hope to find some gems in them once they are removed. Is there any benefit to **not** removing them? I do see workers (not builders) go to them and gather stuff from the trees / shrubs / bushes. Is that just an animation or does that help my base in any form?


What's up with the two Elves outside Phillipa's House?

Okay, Phillipa, I realize that the last time I sent Geralt barging into your house, he interrupted some casual S&M between you and your apprentice, and the time before that, I interrupted a sensual massage of some sort. But was it _really_ necessary to post two Scoia'tel outside your room to prevent future interruptions? _All_ of my available quests require speaking to you, but your two doormen never seem to take a break, and I've been trying to reach you for several in-game days now. Did you want my help curing Saskia and breaking the Curse, or not? What's the deal with the Elven Doormen? When do they take a break? How can I get in to speak with Phillipa the Sorceress?

What is the group/party size in Lord of the Rings Online?

How large of a group can you play Lord of the Rings online with? Is it a group/party based game? I play PC games with a group of 4-5 people and we are looking for something we can all play together online. Does LOTR Online fit that criteria? We currently play Guild Wars, but we are running out of content there, and have been thinking of something different to start playing.


Is Amanaki Town a no-fly zone?

Just now, I decided to see if I could fly from Cradle Gas to Dr. Eberhardt's mansion. I got in the glider located at X:654.9 Y:694.0, waypointed the mansion so I'd have something to aim at, and hurled myself into the wild blue yonder. Everything was going swimmingly (over 2km of travel!) when suddenly my flight path took me over Amanaki Town and faster then you can say 'Bermuda Triangle' my glider plummeted out of the sky and crashed. This has happened to me once before when I tried to use a glider to bypass the 'infiltrate the ship' mission, but I can't understand why the Amanaki wouldn't want me flying over their village. **Can gliders be flown over Amanaki Town or will they always crash?** Extra Credit: **If so, what other no-fly zones always exist on Rook Island (as opposed to per-mission no-fly zones)**


How to promote a different player as club president?

How, exactly, do you promote a different player to President? I started a club but, unfortunately, I'm the player with the lowest activity in the club, and I would like to promote the guy with the highest activity to President. I read in a post by one of the game masters that it's possible, but there doesn't seem to be any indication on how exactly one can do it. If I go to the club hierarchy screen, I can't demote myself or promote a different player past "Executive". Thanks!

What is considered the "Single Player" version of StarCraft 2 in regards to cheat codes?

According to this StarCraft 2 blog post cheat codes have always been in the game. However the game is so coupled to multiplayer I don't understand when to use them. The campaign is obvious, however using them against the AI only in "custom games" does not seem to work. What situations other than the campaign can I use cheat codes?


Does a helmet really help?

Planetside 2 has the option to purchase helmets in the game, but it is unclear if they actually help or if they are just cosmetic. Do helmets actually help by increasing armor, hitpoints, or reducing head damage?


What affects the driving of the truck directly?

I want to know the things or events that changes the performance of the truck (except the upgrades on the shop), just a brief summary or even a small list. One of those that I want to know is for example, if the rain speeds up the truck, or does it modifies the handling a little bit, like from the other driving games (e.g NFS series), and also another one is that if the different roads (the brown-colored, the gray highway, etc.) do also changes the acceleration or just cosmetics.


Is it possible to run SimCity on two monitors?

I've seen the game running on three monitors, but I think that was with ATI's Eyefinity or Nvidia's Surround. There are no options for it in the settings menu, but the description of the video says the game has "native multi-monitor support", and the home screen even demonstrates this by revealing the city to be a prop: ![SimCity's multi- monitor homescreen](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tZgUQ.png) So is there some way to do it with just two?


How does city resource trading work?

I ask because I'm having issues. I tried the obvious space saving measure of having water/power/sewage on one city and zoning and developing more another city. It worked for quite a while, but now for some reason the city I play more in is lacking power. It says there are 98MW available from the neighboor city, but it's buying 88. On the producer city, I have ~300MW spare, which it recognises, also saying it's selling 88MW. How should I go about increasing the amount transfered? Is it true that there is a 100MW cap, evenly spread between eatch city in a microregion (The ones connected to each other)? Would just waiting on each of the cities solve this? Is there any sign showing the city was synced? Is there a log somewhere? Will this work properly if playing offline? I ask that this not be marked duplicate, I read the thread at Can't buy power from neighboring city the top voted answer just gives up while the second guy says it's all evenly spread.

Is that a saddle or a shell on the back of Yoshi?

Today I just randomly thought of Yoshi, and then suddenly have a feeling that the red thingy on the back of Yoshi looks like a shell. A simple Google search did result in some random links of people arguing whether that is a shell or a saddle. However, Google search didn't get anything conclusive. Are there any strong evidences or canonical answers (e.g. from Nintendo) which perhaps unluckily didn't show up in Google search? Here is an image on the Yoshi page on Wikipedia which I think that red thingy on his back really seems to resemble a shell: ![Yoshi](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/39/YoshiMarioParty9.png/210px- YoshiMarioParty9.png)

How can I play without breaking my thumbs?

I have 'Katamari Damacy', and love it, except I have an extremely hard time controlling the rolling ball. It always feels awkward to me, and when I settle into playing, my thumbs quickly begin to ache from all of the strain that results in rolling-ball-direction-frustration. I'll openly admit that I tend to think that I have to move both sticks in the direction I wish to go, to perform that action. Can you offer any tips? Also, when playing Katamari, the higher levels, I feel like in order to pass the level, I have to memorize the locations of objects in order of size and to win, to zip from one site to another like an alphabetical shopping-spree. Can you offer any advice or tips there? Am I doing it wrong?


What makes a quest fall under "Miscellaneous"?

Right now, I've got 23 "Miscellaneous" and only 16 "regular" quests. Sometimes, a Miscellaneous quest is just as complex and trying (if not more so) as some regular quests, and occasionally I believe one of the former will lead or turn into one of the latter. The delineation between the two categories seems rather arbitrary to me so far. Is there some common criteria that separates them from each other?

Why won't my minecart spawner spawn minecarts?

I'm attempting to make a Spawner which will generate Minecarts. The command I'm using is:               /setblock ~ ~ ~ mob_spawner 0 replace {EntityId:"MinecartRideable"}      That certainly creates a Spawner with a Minecart inside, but it never spawns one. On the other hand, if I make a Cow Spawner:               /setblock ~ ~ ~ mob_spawner 0 replace {EntityId:"Cow"}      it starts spawning Cows just fine. Why are Minecarts different? I'm running Minecraft 1.7.9, single-player creative, with cheats.


Should my Aggressive Assault use a Plasma Rifle or an Alloy Cannon?

I use an aggressive Assault soldier (full right: Aggression, Close and Personal, Rapid Fire, Bring 'Em On, and Killer Instinct) equipped with an Alloy Cannon. She hits hard. Having now read a lot of questions and answers here, I've seen some people advocating the use of a Plasma Rifle with an Assault class. Perhaps this loadout is really more for a Tactical Sense Assault with a full left skill tree. Could someone please describe and/or compare the use cases for an Alloy Cannon Assault vs. a Plasma Rifle Assault?


What can you do at a stash?

These are scattered throughout the levels, and are even visible on the map as an icon of a box under a canopy, and the label 'stash'. There doesn't seem to be any way to interact with them though. What can you do with stashes? And how do you interact with them? None of the bindings under controls seem to be related to this. ![Stash](http://i.stack.imgur.com/oQu4H.jpg)


Which games have "Minus/Glitch Worlds"?

I've heard that several old NES, SNES, and arcade games have minus/glitch worlds, which can only be accessed by exploiting a bug or glitch in the game's code. I have also heard them referred to as "kill screen", which more specifically refers to when you reach a level that is so high that the original programmers didn't code for it. This, naturally, causes the game to crash in a way that may or may not let you continue to play. Which games have a glitch world, and how can they be reached?

Does xbox live gold membership stack when I purchase a new one?

I am currently have a xbox live gold membership set to expire in March 2011. However the price of xbox live is increasing to $59.99 starting November 1, 2010.

Can you interact with anything in the demo version of Epic Citadel?

I downloaded the free Epic Citadel demo for the iPhone last night. This game is downright **gorgeous.** Who'd have thought I'd see the day when games have Oblivion-quality graphics on a phone? But ... is there a game in here? Is there anything to do other than sightsee? Don't get me wrong, that will be entertaining for a while -- but not enough to justify 84 meg of my phone's storage being gone. :) Is there anything you can interact with? If so, how?

Why am I not getting the listed prize money in Gran Turismo 3?

Is this just a bug, or is there something I'm missing? For example, in Amateur Ring, Turbo: Race of Turbo Sports, the (i)nfo screen lists 1st prize as 1,500,000, but winning Test Course I received only 1,200,000. Does it pay out less each time you win it? (I don't remember if it paid more before.) Or is there something else that I'm doing that causes it to pay out less than the listed amount? I'm playing the Japanese edition of Gran Turismo 3. EDIT: I've won this race several times, and the prize money doesn't go down any more. I don't remember if it paid in full the first time I won it, though.

Will a prepaid 3DS eShop card work in Costa Rica?

I'm in Costa Rica, and I'm unable to purchase points from the 3DS eShop - not sure if it is due to the country or my bank. Anyway, I figured I'd just buy a prepaid eShop card from Amazon (for instance, this: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Prepaid-eShop-20-3DS-Wii/dp/B00B2ZLJ0W). But I'm not sure if it will work given my country. When I bought my 3DS (from a shop here), it came with a download code for Zelda Link between Worlds. I used the code and it worked just fine - I'm not sure if it is in any way an indication that a prepaid eShop card will work though.


Which Debuff Effects Stack/Interact?

There are five debuffs that exist in TF2 (that I can think of at the moment, that are player-caused and not Fear). They are:   * On Fire: you take damage over time.   * Jarate: You take Mini-Crit damage.   * Bleeding: Damage over time but not Fire.    * Milked: Getting hit causes the person hitting you to be healed.    * Marked For Death: Mini-Crits that are not Jarate-inflicted Now, say someone was unlucky enough to have all four of these effects on them at the same time. Which of them would stack/interact with one another? To be more specific:   * Would Fire or Bleeding do more damage to a Marked-For-Death or Jarate'd individual?   * Would a Milked individual provide constant health to the player who caused them to burn/bleed?   * Would the same Milked person provide more health while under the effects of Jarate or a Mark For death?   * Do these stacking effects change depending on the item that inflicted them? (Self-inflicted Marked-For-Death of Heavy/Soldier, vs. the Scout's Fan of War, or being hit by a Scout's Guillotine vs. a scout hitting himself with the Boston Basher).

Does tag progress carry across playthroughs?

In addition to the PlayStation trophies you can earn in The Last of Us, you can also earn tags, which reward you with "money" you can spend on bonus unlocks. Some of the tags have requirements like killing 50 enemies with nail bombs. Does progress toward tag completion carry across playthroughs, or perhaps only into a new game+? Do they carry over multiple games?

What determines if your arrows break?

Being long range and silent the bow is one of the most useful stealth options in the game with the added benefit of sometimes getting your ammo back. My roommate claims that arrows will always break unless you get a head shot, in which case they will always be recoverable. In my experience however being able to recover your arrow seemed more or less random. So the question: Is there something that determines whether an arrow breaks or not? or is it actually random?


Gargantuan Bruiser Respawning

Minecraft doesn't save progress

My issue is that when I load the game (state A) and play for a while (state B), then save and exit, and load again, the game is at state A, rather than state B, i.e. it did not save the progress I made. For example: I'm in my house with three gold ingots in my inventory. Then I'll play for another half hour. At the end of the half hour, i will have three gold ingots in my inventory plus two diamonds. I'll then save and quit to title but when i log in I'll be back in my house with only three gold ingots in my inventory. This also happens on newly created worlds. Does anyone know how to fix it?


How close do I have to be to get mini-crits with the BackScatter?

Scout's new primary, the Backscatter, proports to do Mini-Crit damage when shots are made to the back **and** at close-range. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/t2u6B.png) So far, I've gotten plenty of mini-crit experience from backshots, but not once have I seen a mini-crit occur when up-close and in a person's face. How close do you have to be to get a non-backshot mini-crit with the Backscatter as the Scout? Edit: It is possible that the "and" here means you must be behind AND close to your opponent, rather than one or the other. If this is true, and can be confirmed, I'd like to know how close one needs to be to get mini-crit damage from behind.


Unable to collect cobblestone after a while

I've been playing this world for a while now and I have been able to collect cobblestone just fine, but suddenly whenever I destroy a block, it's not going into my inventory. I have tried a wooden, stone and iron pickaxe, but none of them have worked. I have closed the program down and started it up again, and it let me play normally for about 10 minutes, but then started again. Does anyone know how to fix this?


Difference between 1x16 and 2x8 attacks in Angry Birds Epic

In Angry Birds Epic, I noticed that enemies sometimes have the same damage, but in a different attack pattern. For example, the thug has one attack of 16 damage, and the bird catcher has two attacks of 8 damage. What is the practical difference between these two? When you apply the electric-barrier skill (all attacks deal a counter-attack), I thought maybe 2x8 attacks will result in two counter-attacks, but it still deals only 1x counter-attack damage.


Does US Scribblenauts Unlimited activate on a EU Steam account?

If I buy Scribblenauts Unlimited (PC) at Amazon.com and ship it to Europe, will I be able to attach it to my German Steam account or at least play it at all?


Does bonus damage stack?

Monsters can have multiple weak points due to elemental weaknesses and what monster family they belong to. When you exploit these weaknesses, a prompt appears that says "Weak Point!" and you deal bonus damage (usually an increased 50%). However, does this 50% increase in damage stack when you hit multiple weak points with a single attack or stack multiple sources of bonus damage on one weakness? For the first case, consider a Beast monster with a weakness to Fire. If I use Sword Magic: Fire, would I do more damage if I used an anti-Beast weapon as opposed to normal weapon of equal stats? In the second case, would I do even more damage if I attacked a flying enemy with a bow (which fliers are innately weak to) while using Aerial Slayer (Ranger skill)?

The Legend of Zelda (Original) Virtual Console can't select item to use on b!

I bought _The Legend of Zelda_ for Virtual Console and my problem is, that I can't select any item on the `B` button in the subscreen. Of course I read the discription that says I should use the d-pad (I use the Wiimote) but it doesn't work. I also tried a GameCube controller and it's the same effect. All other things works fine, but this doesn't work either. Can anyone tell me how to select different items on `B`, please?


Changing "team" name that appears in stats in CS:GO

When I bring up the in-game stats window in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, a "team" column is included. It's empty for most users, but for some it includes a team/clan tag like players in others games would prepend to their name. ![screenshot of in-game stats window showing team column](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ycfpf.png) I went through the in-game settings but I don't see any place to specify this or, if they're entities rather than arbitrary, any way to join a team. How do I change the my "team" name?


Why am I unable to give a gift of gold to a city state?

I just started playing Civilization 5. I gave a gift a of gold to a city- state, it worked, and we became friends. When my influence started to go down, I attempted to give another gift of gold, but each time I click on it, it just takes me back to the previous screen. I tried closing down the game and reopening, and I tried giving gifts of gold to other city-states, with the same results. Has anyone else encountered this glitch, and what did you do?


Do Raging Barbarians make it harder for the AI?

I want to make the game a little more competitive. One advanced option I will trial `Raging Barbarians`. While there is no doubt this setting will keep me on my toes. Does it suppress the AI even more by destroying all its roaming units and slowing it down with tile pillaging? Is this setting a "furphy" in that it would make the AI go backwards more than giving me a challenge in winning the map?

Cannot join Xbox Live party, friends cannot join mine

Since I received the Dashboard Preview I have been unable to join Xbox Live parties and nobody can join mine. I'm not 100% sure this coincided with the Preview program, but I think it was around the same time so I'm assuming that's what is causing it. Obviously, all my friends are now on the new dashboard, but I'm still a member of the preview program (have a "pre-release" tab). My router is configured so that my Xbox is the DMZ based on MAC, so it shouldn't be a port forwarding issue. If nobody has any direct solutions, I'd at least like to know how to leave the preview program to see if that helps... thanks


How do I teleport to anywhere on the map with camera locked?

I want move to anywhere on the map with the Teleport summoner spell. But I play with the camera locked on the champion. When I need see far details on the map, I click and hold the left mouse button on minimap. So the only way I found to teleport is unlock the camera (Y hotkey) and after the teleport lock again. There is some simple method to teleport with camera locked or I'm doing something fundamentally wrong?

How to unlock the 4th world in Plants vs. Zombies 2

How do you unlock the 4th world in Plants vs. Zombies 2 ??? I've got all 72 stars from the previous 3 worlds, but I can't seem to enter the 4th world. I think I was given a chance to enter the 4th world once, but there was a warning that having more stars would be helpful. I think I decided to earn more stars. But now I can't find anyway to enter the 4th world. There's a star portal in the 3rd world. And when I click on that star it just goes back to the time-space taco map (shown below). I'm wondering if this is a bug in the game. Or perhaps, they'll update the app in the future with access to the 4th world. ![Pvz time-space taco map](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IW7LX.png)


What strategy can I use to beat Isaac?

I'm trying to finally get myself over the Binding of Isaac, and I fear that won't happen until I've beaten the chest level with a few more characters. The problem is that I find it remarkably difficult to beat Isaac without sheer luck (that expresses itself as awesome items during the run). While I am well versed in Isaac's attack patterns, I fail to see how I can take advantage of them. His attacks are simply all over the place and he is blessed with an annoyingly dense health bar. Does anyone have a strategy that can make the fight easier?


Increasing inventory in Torchlight 2

I'm new to games like Torchlight 2 so I'm playing on casual difficulty to get used to it. Now I'm finding myself having to clear my inventory (loading my pet up with all unwanted equipment and sending him to town to sell it) 2 to 3 times every time I enter a dungeon. So at the moment it feels like I'm clearing my inventory excessively and wasting a lot of time this way. Can I somehow increase my inventory size and/or is there some sort of a banker anywhere? Does increasing the difficulty level decrease the amount of drops you get?

Getting the signal from a floor pressure plate in the middle of a room

I have this contraption with a floor plate that causes certain changes in a wall couple of blocks away (ie, firing pistons, etc). The floor plate is on a stone floor, and I wouldn't like to mess up the floor with redstone wire - all the wiring must be under the floor, and the floor must all be at one level. Well, I fail to understand this thing: how to get the signal down from the block on which the floor plate was pushed, without any holes around the floor. Thing is, you can't put a redstone torch upside down. If you could, then I'd put it on the bottom of the floor block and pull the redstone wire to wherever I need, and all of that in the underfloor area, so nothing of that is visible from outside. But since you can not, it seems that there is no other way than have a how just besides the floor block with plate, where to put the redstone wire.

Is the amount of followers limited?

I've just got my first follower, and I'm wondering if I can get a second person to follow me. Is the game limited to one or two follower(s) or does it allow for a large number of followers? It really seems handy to me to have some followers protect me when I draw attention from a larger group, or when I try to steal something where I really shouldn't...

How can I integrate my game libraries in Steam and Desura?

Other than manually adding shortcuts in Steam to my Desura games (or vice versa), how can I integrate the two? I'd like to create new shortcuts when I buy/download new games in Desura, possibly providing icons, descriptions, etc, and delete those shortcuts when I uninstall the games in Desura.


What is the ideal setup for multiple Steam accounts on one computer, including guests?

I live in a house with multiple gamers. We are considering installing Steam on our HTPC and using it like a sort of gaming console. There are a few ways to approach this, and none of them seem ideal. Steam installs games into a user's home directory. This means that if I have two different OS-level users, many games will get installed twice, which is a waste of a lot of hard drive space. However, if we share an OS-user and just log into Steam with our different profiles, then I expect some problems with saved games and such. Either way, houseguests will have to log into Steam with our accounts (which is a TOS violation, I think?) to play our games. How do others in this situation solve this conundrum? Does the answer to these questions change depending on the base OS being Windows or Linux or OSX?


How to reset my war village to be the same as my normal village?

I registered into the server and was authenticated by using /register and I haven't been on the server since and when I just tried to go onto it, I forgot my password and it won't let me reregister? What do I do?


About the true ending of Bravely Default

I'm at the final chapter, fighting the penultimate boss. I'm having a hard time beating her. I've been reading online, and from what I gather is a true and false ending. Apparently, if you follow the story, awaken all the crystals several times, and beat the boss, you will fight the ultimate real boss and get the true ending. If you destroy a crystal, uh, the battle with the penultimate boss will be easier? I don't quite get it:   * What exactly happens when you destroy a crystal? Do I not get to fight the ultimate real boss?   * Can you destroy a crystal before the final chapter?   * If I get the false ending, can I get the true one later? And viceversa.


How do I transfer items between two accounts on the same computer?

I have one premium steam account that I play TF2 on, and another F2P account that I idle in. I don't know how to transfer my items from my idle account to my main account on the same computer. I don't feel like installing Steam and TF2 on another computer; that will take too long. What can I do to transfer these items?


What is Fuel used for in Ninja Fishing

In Ninja Fishing for iOS, I seem to have figured a bunch of it out, drop a line, and as is reeled in you want to hook fish and then cut them up for gold. There is fuel in the game which is the only thing I can't figure out. What is it and why do you need it?


Extra reload animations in Fallout 3?

Sometimes, when I reload a weapon, an extra animation occurs. For example, when reloading the Chinese Assault Rifle, occassionally the player will pull out the magazine, tap it against the side of the gun, and put it back in the gun. What is with these extra reload animations?


How does Blood Star work?

The Succubi in Acts III and IV have energy orbs they toss your way that give you the debuff "Blood Star." Blood Star states: > A curse that reduces Monk and Barbarian Armor by 50%, and causes Wizard, > Witch Doctor, and Demon Hunter skills to do casting cost as damage back to > the caster. ![Blood Star](http://i.stack.imgur.com/lFZdl.jpg) As a wizard, I've noticed that I take roughly **1k damage** when this is active and I'm channeling Disintegrate. I'm _pretty sure_ that Disintegrate doesn't cost 1k Arcane Power, so - how does Blood Star work? Does the damage change by difficulty? Does my armor reduce the damage? Which resist affects Blood Star damage?


How to defeat Rakanoth as a Demon Hunter?

I play a Demon Hunter with high DPS but average defense. I usually rely on Caltrops, Vault and the Templar to evade enemies, but I can usually take a few strikes if need be. However, Rakanoth, the melee boss towards the beginning of act 4 (in the Library of Fate, just off the Gardens of Hope 1st Tier waypoint), is really giving me trouble. He teleports right on me and take away most of my life with one blow, and he does that attack at a higher frequency than I can heal completely, even if I run with powerful potions and Preparation with the healing rune. What build / strategy can I take to help me defeat it? I'd prefer something which does not require me to change my entire gear. Difficulty is nightmare, but I have a feeling this question could also apply to hell and inferno.


How far is a yard on screen?

Some skills, such as the Acid Rain version of Acid Cloud, reference ranges that are specified in yards. How can I figure out what this translates to on my screen?


Do you gain AP when using an ADA Refactor or Jarvis Virus?

I have yet to get either an ADA Refactor or Jarvis Virus but I am curious about their use. If an enemy portal has Links/Fields attached and you flip it with a Refactor/Virus, do you gain AP for taking down the Links/Fields?


Can I reset my progress when playing on a server I don't control?

I'm playing on someone else's server and have died in an inaccessible spot under water. Upon respawning, I don't get back the introductory items a new player would get. Is there any way I could get a new character/reset my progress on a server myself, without involving the owner? This is _not_ a duplicate of that question. The other question is about resetting progress of a player on a server you control. My question is how to start from scratch when I'm just a user, not a server-owner.


Should I follow the AI's suggestions on where to place my cities?

I tend to build cities in tiles that give me access to luxury resources within the 5x5 fat cross and I try to build them on coasts whenever possible. However, the AI sometimes suggests very odd city placements, like on top of a resource, or on the edge of another civilization's border. How does the AI choose these sites? Should I take its advice into account?


Always resolve inter-party rock-paper-scissors the way I want to?

I want Scarlett and Roderick to have particular traits, which means they will occasionally have to disagree on the proper course of action; however, I usually want one course of action to win over the other. Currently, I'm quicksaving and quickloading in order to save scum the result I want; however, this is pretty time consuming. Is there some way to guarantee a particular outcome? Note that I'm playing in single-player, so I can't seem to control what the other character does during rock-paper-scissors and auto-resolving is random.


PS Vita Internet Connection not connecting

My PS Vita finds every network connection access points, but mine! How can this be fixed. It can't see mine at all. Even when I manually add my router to the access points list on my PS Vita, still does not connect! Why is that?


Can retail Xbox One and PlayStation 4 game disks be “upgraded” to digital?

I have bought a bunch of Xbox One and PlayStation 4 games on retail disks. Big mistakes. They take up space and it a hassle to locate and swap the disks. Can they be somehow “upgraded” to download-copies so I don’t need the disks anymore on either consoles? Or do I need to pay full price for the games again?


How can I get my temporary quest follower to stop following me in Skyrim?

Me and my brony, Aela the huntress, went out and attempted to clear a certain cave near Whiterun, destroying the Silver Hand clan to restore honor to our werewolf kind. I was not prepared for the strength of the final adversary, Kelv the Skinner. After many failed attempts to end him, Aela and I fled the cave. Now, I cannot convince her that the quest is to be temporarily postponed, and she follows me, no matter where I go. Can someone suggest a way to remove her from my party? I have already deselected the quest. This is the PS3 version of Skyrim. Ergo, I cannot go into the system console or whatever and change anything about the game.


What are all the spells, items and hirelings that help with finding secrets and where can I obtain them?

In Might and Magic X, it is kinda difficult if not impossible to find secret doors without the help of either spells or hirelings. Perception seems only to be needed for some kind of secret doors, but it does not help to find them. Therefore, what are all the spells and tricks to find secret areas? Especially if you don't have a character capable of Dark Magic.


What affects field upgrades in BF4?

Firstly, how do you gain the score exactly? I know it shows in the bar on the side of the map, but I remember a match where I was lone-wolfing and still got a pretty high score in that bar. I suppose my other squad members were together, but do I also gain for their work? Also, does the score reset when I start a new game? I mean, I play support with the Offensive perk and it took me a long game of conquest to just unlock lvl-3 extra grenade. In the next match, that 'nade is gone. Don't I keep it forever?


What does tracking do in BF4 and what are field upgrades?

When you like level up does some of that score go in the tracking things? How do you get the field upgrade score and what do they do?

Can you pre-order digitally from the Xbox Store?

I see many new games announced at E3 and earlier up for pre-order on physical disks through the Microsoft Store and other retailers. However, can I pre-order digital copies of these games from the Xbox Store? It does not look like it, and I find that really surprising. I do not want the physical disks. They take up too much space.


Are experience gems useful for anything other than desynthing?

I got an experience gem from a battle. If I desynthed it I'd gain 75 XP.However, it seems it's a fairly... unfrequent drop. Are experience gems useful for purposes other than desynthing? Are they used in recipes and the such?


What guilds are in Skyrim?

Bethesda released information regarding the return of the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim. That leaves me curious about whether or not specific guilds will be included in Skyrim as well. I'm most curious about the Thieves' guild but would like information about all of them.


If I'm a member of one guild, am I prevented from joining any of the other guilds?

If I join the Companions, will that keep me from joining the Thieves Guild? Or the Dark Brotherhood?


What do the silver magnifying glasses mean?

When you are in the Let's Cook menu (where you select a recipe to make), some of the recipes have a small silver magnifying glass with an exclamation mark on it in the corner of the recipe picture (that you select to make that recipe). What does that mean? Is there something I have to do here?


What to do without copper?

So the latest update to Starbound has kind of left me in a very awkward spot. Exploring my first planet's surface, I've found an absolute abundance of Iron, a surprising smattering of silver, and an unheard-of abundance of gold! And all of this would be great...except that I am completely understocked in Copper. This lack of copper is not insignificant. While I can handily make nice weapons for myself with my collection of iron, and I maybe have enough copper to construct a pick, I don't have nearly enough to create armor. This is a problem, because every other type of metal armor relies on copper armor first. I don't yet have enough pixels to create an iron bow to hunt very well (because the monsters are constantly killing me), so I'm in a bit of a bind. How do I deal with this lack of essential copper early in the game?


What buttons do you press to use your UAV?

I recently unlocked the UAV in the PS3 version of _Call of Duty: Black Ops 2_ , and it says I've gotten enough of a killstreak to be able to use it, but I don't know how to actually use it! How do I use a UAV if and when I get one?


Can I connect a PlayStation 3's HDMI output to my monitor's DVI-D input?

I'm attempting to connect my PlayStation 3 to my computer monitor. The monitor has a DVI-D (dual link) input, so before distinguishing between the different DVI varieties, I bought a DVI-I (dual link) to HDMI converter that won't fit into the port on the monitor (not only that, there isn't enough physical space in the back of the monitor to fit that much stuff before it hits the bottom of it). So I grabbed a DVI-D (single link) cable and got a female-to-female DVI-I coupler, and plugged the DVI-D cable into the monitor and the whole mess of converters. The end result was HDMI to DVI-D single link, but my monitor isn't receiving a signal on its digital channel. (For clarity's sake: DVI-D DL input on Monitor, DVI-D SL cable, DVI-I DL female-to-female coupler, DVI-I DL to HDMI converter, HDMI output on PS3) I don't know much about this stuff (obviously), but my educated guess is that the bandwidth of the PS3 is too high for the DVI-D Single Link cable, so nothing's getting through. Will replacing the single link cable with dual link resolve this? If not, is it possible at all? I'm aware I won't get audio through the monitor. I have an RCA to 3.5mm converter for that.


Are there any special rules for Enchanting?

There are some basic rules that we all know that apply to enchanting, such as: "An item can't have more than two enchants, and can only have two with the final enchanting perk" Sometimes in the game, I´ve found myself trying to figure out the rest of the rules that apply to enchanting. For example, not every item with a magical effect can be disenchanted: there are exceptions, but what are those exceptions?   * Mehrunes Dagger for example, can't be disenchanted for the aprox. 2.5% chance to instakill.    * Masks, can't be disenchanted   * Also, some masks DO HAVE 3 different enchants, also making itself an exception to an enchanting rule. My question is, is there any place that I can find, or any player that have theorycrafted succesfully about what are those specific rules, defining once for all, what can and can't be achieved/done with enchanting ?


King slime biome requirement

The **King slime** spawns instead of a slime in the outer part of the map, according to the wiki. Does the king slime also have a biome requirement, or does it just need a biome that spawns slimes that can be upgraded?


How can I tell if a unit is ducking or standing?

I have a very poor short term memory (4 concussions, yaaaay), so sometimes I forget if I've given an order to a unit to change its stance in the past or not. I can't always tell based on the pose of the unit because when it's mostly behind the cover of a full height wall, it's difficult to see. Is there any trick or shortcut or some sort of unit status window I'm missing, or is it actually just a matter of remembering?


Which achievements are missable in Batman: Arkham City?

Before I get started with games, I always like to know beforehand if there are missable achievements, especially regarding the storyline. For example, in Arkham Asylum, there was the **Party Pooper** achievement near the end, where you had to defeat all the clapping enemies from the Joker's party. Are there missable achievements like this one in Arkham City? I don't mean things that are _optional_ to complete in the first playthrough, like all Riddler Trophies or all upgrades, but achievements that are actually _unable to be acquired_ without fulfilling certain criteria. To clarify, I mean in the base game, _not_ including the optional DLC like Catwoman and Robin.


What happens when the Stinger levels up?

I'm using a Stinger in MW3, and I see that it can level up like other weapons. Why do I care? It doesn't seem there are any attachments of any kind.


Do followers benefit from set bonuses?

Pretty straightforward. If I equip my follower with set items, will he/she gain the set bonuses for multiple set pieces?


Red-Dead-Redemption: Is there anyway to "win" the side "trap" missions?

In RDR as I roam around the country I often come across mini-side mission like recapturing a stolen horse or fending off a stagecoach robbery. However, there is one "mission" type that I'm not sure how to handle. Usually it is some sad-sack injured person or some woman calling out to me for help. That person or their cohorts then ambush me and either try to kill me or steal my horse. These trap missions are starting to become familiar enough that I can spot them a mile off. The question is, as asked by Joshua in War Games, is the only way to win not to play? That is, should I just steer clear of these trap-missions or is there some advantage to springing them and inevitably winding up in a shootout? Or perhaps there is another option for dealing with these that I haven't considered?


I realize this may sound silly, but in the poker game Holdem many of the top pros have said it is much harder to beat a bad player than a good one, because of the crazy random stuff a newbie will do. I'm a bronze leaguer myself, and I've taken many of the ideas from various casts and this site and have been somewhat successful since starting playing 2 weeks ago. What I'm wondering is if there are any known tricks to beat bad players that would never work on a good player. **EDIT** I don't want cheesy tactics to sneak my way to the higher leagues. The truth is, there have to be tactics that work only against bad players; that is what I'm looking for. As to the comment about scouting, that's where the poker analogy comes in - the bad player is hard to beat because you have no way of knowing what he's doing even if you can see his hand (or scout well). I just want to win, I could care less about what league I'm in - I'm just looking for ways to win now, which is why I asked this question. Another way of asking it may have been " **What mistakes cost you games when you were Bronze/Silver** ", but I thought linking the poker analogy (on a gaming site!) would be fine. **Final Edit** So I guess I was unable to ask this question in a way that the community could understand. I'm fully aware of the heap of resources geared toward new players and that is not what I was asking for. I simply wanted interesting tactics that more experienced players have found useful in the lower leagues but not in higher leagues.


How do I skip cutscenes?

I'm doing a second playthrough of story mode in Need For Speed: The Run, but I can't seem to figure out how to skip cutscenes. Is there something I'm missing, or is this yet another feature they've not included?


Is there a way to dodge the one-time passwords?

I find it quite annoying that every now and then, when I log in to my SWTOR account, Bioware asks me to enter a one-time password sent to my e-mail address. I find that quite annoying. I doubt there is, but is there a way to skip that question? Like with the Security Key, or just something I haven't seen in the options?


What are the game-turning cards or combos for each class?

From experience (rank 11), I've noticed that there are a few cards that are _essential_ to know (and to expect) from certain classes. For example, you should expect a combo "Unleash the Hounds" with "Starving Buzzard" from a hunter at turn 5. You can also expect an AOE spell that deals 4 damages to every minions from the mage at turn 7. Both of these can easily cause a player to lose if they played into them carelessly, even if they were in a strong position before. So I was wondering what other such cards or combinations are that can turn the game around completely and/or clear the entire board.


Where are the Mysterious Relics?

I was running around Evendim and I found an angry hobbit who apparently got his prize pipeweed crops destroyed by a Mysterious Relic that gives +1 Dread to anyone who comes near. When I right-click it, I got a quest to talk to that angry hobbit, who complained, and then I got a new deed, which told me to find all 7. Where are these?


How can you charge items with MJ?

This question has some controversy on how to charge a Power Tool from the Modular Powersuits mod. While it is commonly known that both EU, MJ, and UE can be used to charge it, I want to know how something can be charged with MJ. Unlike a Batbox/MFE/MFSU/AESU/IDSU which has a slot in its GUI to charge stuff with, Redstone Energy Cells and whatever engines do not have a slot to do this. IndustrialCraft has the Charge Pads addon, which charges stuff with EU while a player stands on it. BuildCraft/Thermal Expansion/RailCraft... do not have anything of the sort. So, how can you charge items with MJ?


Have I just ruined my Minecraft save?

I made a Minecraft world using Mo's Creatures, Balkon's Weapon Mod and Rei's Minimap about a month ago. I updated Minecraft to 1.6 so I could test out the new features. The next day I accidentally loaded my modded save. Have I lost all my items from these mods?


Does killing all the guards trigger the alarm?

My friend and I were trying to stealth the Ukrainian job and we had it pretty well down. Usually there were two guards in the alley and one in the back rooms. We killed the two in the alley, bagged and hid the bodies and sneaked into the room with the camera feed. Without fail, the crap hit the fan here. We would wait for the guard to come back into the room, hit him from behind and answer the pager. While one guy did that, the other one dashed across the back and secured the manager's office. Somewhere in this sequence the alarm would get tripped for "suspicious activity" even though no civilian outside or in the front saw us. In reading stealth guides for heists, I keep seeing people say to dominate one guard and kill the others. If you kill all the guards does this trip the alarm?


How does (Ultra) Lucky Cat work?

These Felyne Cooking skills say that they give a chance to "receive more rewards at the end of the quest". But I know that some rewards are specific for certain monster parts (e.g. Mantles typically come from tail cutting or face breaking). Will the Lucky Cat skills increase the number of "part rewards" or does it simply increase the number of rewards for the quest only?


What are the challenges?

What are the challenges in Dungeonland? I turned them on for the first time (Cannibal Kingdom, Casual) and see 3 but the challenge icons, but the names are rather unhelpful. The Challenges I found are:   * Wrath of the Sheep God   * No Mercy   * Thirst Are they the same every time? What do they do? ![Zoomed Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GIR50.jpg)


How can I get my spawners to work when they are far away?

I am playing a custom map and I have 2 mob spawners in which I have set up traps for. These traps lead to the same place, however both spawners are considerably far away from each other and therefore only one spawns at a time (when I am near). I was wondering if there was some sort of way to "mimic" a player position without a player actually being there. What I would usually do is start up another computer and simply open it to LAN and have another account be somewhere next to the spawner, however I was wondering if there was a way to not have to do this? Is this possible? Are there any mods that allow this?


How does life-steal work in the original Diablo?

I've been recently playing the original Diablo, since back when I was a kid I didn't appreciate it as much as it deserved. Knowledge from later Diablo games helped a lot. I have been having trouble with life-steal. I am playing a rogue and I've been using The Undead Crown which is dropped by the skeleton king. The wiki says it gives me 5% life steal. At that time, my damage was ~5-10 so I assumed the 5% got rounded to zero. However, now that my damage is ~20-40. I still see no life gained from the crown. My question is, how is the life-steal supposed to work? Is it only noticeable with really high damages? Is it broken?


How do I change Tile Entities?

I heard if you change something called `RequiredPlayerRange` to a high number on a spawner, it will be able to spawn even from a distance. I don't know to change Tile Entities though. How exactly do I change that?


How much XP do Rare monsters and Champions give?

I am currently farming with an archon build, and am averaging 8 to 10 million xp an hour. Sometimes, though, I get killed by a rare monster or champion. Should I bother finishing the job, or should I just kill mionion after minion? I suppose those rare monsters must give more XP, but I don't know how much. Does anyone have a comparison between regular monster XP, and rare/champion monster XP?


Is Stinky the Snail fast enough to collect all dropped coins in the zen garden?

I have a full Zen garden that needs watering. If I water every plant as fast as I can, will Stinky the Snail be able to collect all the coins for me without any disappearing (with or without chocolate)? Secondary question that would answer the first I guess. Do coins disappear in the Zen Garden at all?


Can Magichange really be used for more than 2 turns

i read that in Disgaea 2: Dark Hero days, if you have a monster Magichange then throw the humans into the base panel it'll allow the monster to remain Magichanged i am wondering, does this refer to   1. stalling the monster reverting back (ie throwing the human into the base panel after the first turn but when they come out they will still only have 1 turn left before the monster reverts)   2. resetting the number of turns before reverting (ie. when the humans is thrown into the base panel the number of turns before the monster reverts get reset so one has to make sure that the humans is in the base panel before the end of the second turn)   3. the Magichange actually being permanent until the end of the battle NOTE: i am aware that the max turns before reverting back from Magichange can be increased to 3 however i have yet to pass the bill for that


If I'm eligible for more games, am I more likely to get a steam booster pack?

Let's imagine three systems where the two options would apply:- System one (Where eligibility doesn't matter):-   1. System adds all eligable users to a pool   2. System picks X many random users from the list of eligible users   3. System picks a random eligible game from those randomly selected eligible users and gives them the booster cards System two (Where eligibility does matter):-   1. System adds all user's eligible games to a pool   2. Then picks a random game associated to a user from the pool X many times   3. People who are eligible for multiple games are then in the pool/'hat'/etc... more times that people who are only eligible for one game. System three (Where eligibility also does matter):-   1. System goes through all **GAMES** and adds all users eligible for that game to a pool   2. System picks a random player from the per-game pool I know this is sort of hard to answer without access to the steam server source, but, hey, worth a shot of asking.


Where is my minecraft folder hidden in this unusual Mac setup?

What I usually do is just open the texture-packs folder and then I have access to everything. But, my minecraft crashed. and now I cant get on without it crashing. I've been trying to find the "Error Report" in users/library/applicationsupport/minecraft but there are two things wrong:   1. Thing that is different is that my library folder is in the shared folder.   2. Is that even when I do get into application support minecraft isn't in it. and I have no idea where else it could be.


What does it mean when a player in GTA V Online has a flag as their icon on the map?

What does it mean when a player in GTA V Online has a flag as their player icon instead of the normal blip? Does it mean they are paused or that they have lost connection?


What are the limitations of the demo?

I have noticed that there is now a Torchlight 2 demo available for download on Steam, which I am currently in the process of downloading. However, I've had a quick look around and can't seem to find what the limitations of the demo are in comparison to the full game.   * Is there a maximum time limit to how long you can play?   * Is the limitation on content? How far through the game can I play in the demo?   * Can I join multiplayer games with the demo?    * Can I proceed in the full game from the spot I left at the end of the demo?  Is there anything else I should know about the demo?


Dead Island Character Differences

I started playing Dead Island yesterday evening, though I didn't play very much. The game seemed impressive. But I've been wondering if the different characters have any unique traits that the others do not (for example different ability trees)?


SOASE 7DS - how to clear mines?

Sort of a throwback here, but I was playing a few rounds of 7 Deadly Sins (still great) and as usual, the AI was throwing up piles of mines, taking over all of the tactical slots with 30 useless mines. To clear them, I have to physically steer a heavy ship around and carefully blow them up. Is there an automated, easier way to do this? I was looking at the scout ships but I couldn't find much in the way of mine-clearing. Any tips?


How do you make the most compact rapid redstone pulser that never stops? And in my friend's server, the rapid redstone pulser stops after some time, and I have no idea why, how do you prevent that from happening?


How do you get to the Secret Room in the Tavern?

My friend and I noticed that there seems to be an inaccessible room in the Tavern with something behind it. We saw that there was a Treasure Chest seemingly floating somewhere off the map. ![treasure](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2GQTw.jpg) In addition, if you walk up to the second floor of the Tavern and position your camera through the wall just right, you can highlight something called the Defender's Forge. ![through the walls](http://i.stack.imgur.com/p5vHT.jpg) Confirmation of the speculation was confirmed in the notes for the 7.07 patch, which had a note that said the following: > Moved bonus-item crates back into the main section of the Halloween Tavern, > out from the Secret Room. What is this Secret Room? How do I get there? Do I need to beat the campaign first or something else?


Is there an option to increase the number of turns in a game?

25 turns doesn't seem quite long enough. Is there any way to make the game last longer? Edit: Just noticed that turn count varies based on the map, but the question still stands.


I think I am stuck, is there a way to trigger a mission?

I have been playing GTA V for a few hours now without any mission starting. I have just stolen the helicopter from the base, took flight school but now nothing is happening. Is there a way to trigger the next story mode mission? _or_   * Do I need all Gold in the flight school?   * I see a 'B' on my radar, but when I get there nothing happens, its just a building with a big garage in the ground floor. Is there anything I am missing?


What is the point of having friends?

These days in nearly all casual (especially Mobile) games, you can add friends and invite them to play with you in exchange for certain benefits. Basically, having players do most of the marketing for them - brilliant! I want to know if there is any point in having friends in the game _Hay-Day_ , by **Supercell**? As far as I can see, the only benefit is that you can go view their farm and auctions without them having to appear in the _news paper_ or something, which could sometimes help. Is there nothing else though? Like sending some money or items or something? Or perhaps a thing that can be accelerated or yield more result/product if you invite friends to help? Are the benefits only the ones I've already found?


Some armors and accessories will have an effect on them which modifies resistance to a certain damage type, followed by a varying number of arrows indicating the bonus. For example, the **Adama Armor** has _Physical Resist +1_. Although having resistance to physical damage would be nice, it's difficult to determine how well compares to other armor sets without knowing how much physical damage is reduced by. How much does a resist bonus on armor reduce damage by?

In Season 2 do I play as Clementine, or someone else?

I recently finished playing The Walking Dead Season 1 (and the 400 Days DLC), and I'm probably going to buy Season 2 very soon. However the one thing I'm not sure about is who I'll be playing as. I'm also trying to avoid spoiling myself as much as possible. Will I be playing as Clementine, or do you rotate through playable characters like in the 400 Days DLC? In the main game (Season 1) I'm pretty sure that it never let me play anyone aside besides Lee.


In a co-op game, what determines each player's hourly city income?

Street Fighter 2 - Guile's Handcuffs?

I vaguely recall reading once, many moons ago, about a bug in SF2 that was referred to as "Guile's Handcuffs" or something similar. I've never been able to dig anything up about it. Does that ring a bell for any of you old arcade diehards?


What is the scoring algorithm for Rock Band 2?


What does the toolbox do?

The toolbox claims to give _"+25% to repair speed"_ , but there doesn't appear to any need to repair your tanks; there is no way to repair the whilst in a game (as far as I know), and they are automatically repaired to full health instantly when you return to your garage. ![The equipment screen](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MnkGZ.jpg) Does it have any use? Or does it just make your tank heavier?


Which race in Starcraft 2 has it easiest and safest to expand?

I've had a bit of a discussion about expanding in Starcraft 2. Which race has the easiest and safest expanding? I argue that Zerg has the hardest as they can't add static defense before the creep gets there. Protoss can throw up a pylon and cannons, warping in units to expansions. While Terran can add static defense, and even just fly a Planetary fortress right there. What is the definite answer?

The title pretty much says it all. Does Adell naturally (without needing to go to Chara World) gain the Big Bang skill, and if so, at what level? I've tried searching for it, and no one seems to have a skill/level table for DLC characters, at least that I can find.

How can I play Crysis 2 without shutting down ProcExp and Visual Studio?

I'm a developer. When I have some spare time, I like to play the occasional game. Crysis 2 won't run if I have Visual Studio or Process Explorer running – which I do at all times. Sometimes I have a debugging session running; I can't just close VS without losing a lot of state. What (legal) options are available to stop this madness?
