Is a trackball good for playing games?

I toy with the idea of purshasing a trackball, because I've heard it will greatly reduce the strain of the hand, that normally occurs when using a mouse. But I have some doubts if it will fit all my needs, because I would use it for a lot of working and playing games. How well does a trackball go with working and playing games (like Minecraft) where you have to move a lot? What are your experiences? What qualities should a good trackball have?


Why did I stop getting achievements halfway through Portal 2?

I played through Portal 2's single player in 4 hours yesterday, however, I have only gained achievements for the first hour or so of playtime. What could have caused this? I didn't use any cheats, the developer console was disabled, and I haven't found any information on anything else that could cause achievements to not be awarded.


Dead Rising 2: Mix Matching

With the Dead rising 2 DLC (Soldier, Psycho, etc.) Do you have to wear the full outfit for the effects to work or can you mix and match and have all of them at one? I am fond of soldiers appearance but I would like to wield all the abilities of the DLC at once. So is it or is it not possible?


How do I create folders?

I just got the new 3DS firmware update, and I know that it gives me the ability to create folders on my home screen (according to various blogs). However, I can't figure out how to make the folders. I tried dragging one icon over another like you do on an iPhone/iPad to create a folder but that didn't work. I also tried looking at various system options with no success. What am I missing? How do I create folders?


How to 1-Hit kill an Enderman?

I'm wondering how to get a 1-Hit kill on an Enderman. I saw Somone on YouTube kill an Enderman in 1 hit with a melon slice. Does this or any other way work? Anything helps!


Why Are There Heartless In Kingdom Hearts 2?

In the first game, you seal all the keyholes, beat Ansem, the end, right? In KH2, you seal more keyholes and defeat more heartless, why? Weren't the keyholes sealed and the heartless beaten?

I am palaying X3 Albion Prelude(Steam), I started game as Terran Commander, and from start reputation with argon is very low (Enemy of Federation), every ship is hosile to me. Howewer where I destroyed argon ship in war sector (Circle of Labor), there was message "Argon federation thanks you for eliminating this thread". At this time i did not see reputation change in player info. Question is: How reputation changes where you kill argon ship in Argon warzone? Is it possible to fix reputation with argon?

Whats the World Energy for?

When at the main menu you see a World Energy Meter that seems to be powering up a giant spirit bomb. This energy is given by players playing the game, but what is the point of the tally? Does something happen when a particular milestone is reached? Edit: it would also be great to know if the event when a player is requested to give such energy is scripted, random, or triggered some other way.


How do I get rid of these dark rectangles on the screen in Bioshock Infinite

I've already asked other people and looked all over and I can't find anyone else having this problem. And I don't have this problem on any other games. I already tried verifying the games cache (although I knew that wouldn't work). I think it's caused by ShadowPlay because the squares are where the ShadowPlay status indicator and webcam overlays go. However, disabling ShadowPlay doesn't fix it and neither does disabling the overlays inside ShadowPlay. Here is a picture of the problem: ![](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41629841/Online%20Posts/Arqade/152834/Dark%20Rectangles.png) If I alt-tab and then go back in, they're gone for a second and then they show back up again. They stay there the whole time and never move or flicker how do I get rid of them?? I know this isn't a question about the game and doesn't really belong here but I had no idea where else to ask that I might receive an answer.


What can I get from the Import Room?

In Scuttle Town, there is an Import Room, and I can apparently get "things from lands beyond" here, but there is never anything for me. How can I use this room? What do I get if I do?


How can I get wood in a desert?

I want to get some wood so I can make chests and crafting tables in my desert biome. The problem is that I can't explore to new biomes because I don't want to leave the village settlement that I would leave behind. The second problem to leaving is that I would have to cross an ocean to get to a new biome. So, how can I collect either wood or planks to have enough materials to have the necessary sticks and chests to survive?


How do I help organize my town in die2nite?

Since we've started work on a proper build order, I figure it's time to tackle the more difficult half of the problem: humans. Most towns run on some sort of ad-hoc system where 2 or 3 people who think they know the system tell people "Build _x_ now!". This is clearly a suboptimal strategy since it relies on a certain number of people ignoring that advice and scavenging and at least a certain number of people forgoing scavenging (arguably the "fun" part of the day's activities) and spending AP on construction projects. How can you organize your fellow citizens to do the right tasks at the right time? Keep in mind that a certain percentage of people will do whatever they want.


Will I be handicapped if I don't choose an alignment?

I'm fairly pragmatic, and with dialog choices after dialog choices, it's fairly tempting to just be fairly neutral towards it all (I guess that makes me... _a role-player_ , oh no!). If I do this in _The Old Republic_ , am I going to be handicapped by not having access to either of the presumed bonuses earned by taking one side or another?


How do I counter a turtling Terran?

I'm playing Protoss but i always have the same problem when facing a Terran: As I get my death-ball, expand and do all the usual things, the Terran just turtles non stop. He gets about 12 siege-tanks in his base and about 20 vikings. Once i can't stand that turtling any more i just decide to engage with my entire army ( even a mother-ship ). And then as i arrive at his main my bowl just gets crashed and splashed by all the siege tanks. Btw, did i tell you, that he also surrounded his whole base with 20 missile-turrets? I want to know how to break this, or any other turtling build.


Is there any way to transfer treasure to other characters?

Is there any way to transfer coins/treasure between different Skylander characters in game? I find that I'm playing with one over the others more, but would like to share the wealth with the others so they can purchase upgrades as well.


Why do some games allow offline Steam achievements?

I know of another question where it is asked if you can get Steam achievements offline. The accepted answer to that was no. But I **do** earn achievements for some Steam games while playing in offline mode! For example, right now I am earning achievements for Cave Story+ as I play in offline mode. In other games I also earn achievements while playing in **offline** mode. Not just when I am disconnected but still in "online" mode as might be suggested in the linked question. But what is _really_ bugging me is that this does not happen with all games that have Steam achievements. So, is allowing offline achievements something that Steam allows, the game devs allow, or is it something decided by a magical elf in the steam servers rolling some d20 dice around? **Edit:** As per request, I was able to attain visual evidence: ![visual evidence](http://i.stack.imgur.com/kxUzQ.jpg) You should be able to see the achievement get in action. While in offline mode. What is worth noting,(and something that I had forgotten to mention before) is that I only started earning achievements _after_ I had went into online mode with the game installed. This is why I was able to earn this achievement with the ones after unlocked. I had started the game for the _first_ time in offline mode, and did not notice that I was not earning achievements. When I had connected once, I did not have to start the game while online. I was able to earn achievements offline. I also must state publicly:   I do **not** play on easy. This was for testing purposes only people. It was for Science!


Are female gang members also hoes?

I've been working on some assassination missions, and started tracking _The Big Time, Baby_.![Assassination description](http://i.stack.imgur.com/woPxE.jpg). I went into Espina, and started killing a bunch of Morningstar members. I got up to a 5-star notoriety with them, so I certainly believe I had fulfilled that part of the task.![5-star notoriety](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YotHX.jpg) While killing the morningstar, I killed a bunch of the female members. I don't want to judge, but they seem pretty ho-ish to me.![Female gang members](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OLevW.jpg). Even after killing members for a solid few minutes, no target popped up. I'm assuming that the female gang members are not the hos I'm looking for, but I didn't find anyone looking less lady-like than the female morningstar members. Do female morningstar members count as hos? If not, where can I find hos in Espina?


Is there a definitive list of what gifts a companion likes?

Is there PvP gear for characters under the level cap?

I've been rockin' some Huttball matches, accruing a fat stack of Warzone Commendations. Now, I want to spend them -- but the only vendors I've been able to find exclusively cater to max level items. Are there any purchasable PvP items usable before reaching the max level?


Are any Skyrim characters carried over from Oblivion or earlier?

So, I just realized the other day that Babette is 300 years old. While this is a fact that's been established to me a few times throughout my gameplay by now, I just now realized exactly what sort of implications that could have. Particularly: **She's old enough to possibly have been featured in previous Elder Scrolls games.** According to UESP:   * Arena takes place in 3E 399.   * Daggerfall takes place in 3E 405.   * Morrowind and its expansions take place in 3E 427.   * Oblivion and its expansion takes place in 3E 433.   * The end of the Oblivion Crisis in 3E 433 is the epoch from which 4E is begun.   * Skyrim takes place in 4E 201. If Babette is exactly three hundred years old, that means she's at least lived through (if not actually been involved in) _the entire Elder Scrolls series_ to date. Now, I've not seen anything in UESP or otherwise to suggest that Babette is actually a carry-over character. But, there are plenty of other characters - long-living, immortals, deities, undead, etc. - who very well could be. Are there any characters who actually _are_ carry-overs from previous games in the series? Is this hinted at, or even spelled out to the player during the game?

How to get rid of trash?

In Animal Crossing on Gamecube, you were able to throw boots, cans, etc away at the dump. The dump was a fenced in area where you could throw away trash that was collected as well as obtain free items. In New Leaf, the only way I've seen to throw items away is to pay for their disposal at Re-Tail. Is there anything similar to the original dump in New Leaf that allows for me to throw stuff away for free and/or collect free items every day?


Do harbours work?

I have several cities connected to the capital with roads and all count as connected to the trade network (little atomic symbol). I also have a harbour in one of the connected cities as well as a harbour in an over-seas colony. But that colony doesn't count as connected to the trade network. Every time I play Civ 5 I find that building harbours simply doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Or don't harbours work?

Me and my friends want to start playing Counter Strike 1.6 online, but I'd like to know something before we all go and buy the game in the Steam Store.

STALKER mod how to run without screen leaning

I recently bought STALKER Call of Pripyat, but I can't play long enough before I get really dizzy when you run. Is there a mod or a fix where I can run without my screen leaning (or shaking left and right) as I get really dizzy. It's a good game (kind of like fallout 3) but this run thing is making me have second thoughts about my purchase.

How does the Hardline Pro perk work?

I've heard a good amount of chatter about the Hardline pro perk, but I still can't wrap my head around how the pro perk works. With Hardline Pro, when you get a care package, does it prompt you to see if you want to keep it and get another one? Do you always get a better one the second time or is it random?


Stuck on "The Insanitarium" #6 in Skull Room

I can't seem to beat this, I've come close, but I'm always about 2-3 pieces short since the 3 drains are on all 4 corners of the room. Using the fixed pieces also forces you to close the loops. Any help is appreciated. I have beaten #23 in the Super-Hard "Rat" room if you want something in return.

Relocate my followers to my Whiterun home?

So Lydia nicely went into my house in Whiterun, which is great. If I need her I know where to go. However I have made a number of followers in the game since then of all walks of life in various parts of the world. My question is, can I move these followers to my house in Whiterun, so I can keep them all in the same place and make my choice of which follower I want all from the comfort of my home?


Is it possible to promote a soldier twice in one mission?

If I take a rookie/squaddie solider on a long mission and he gets lots of kills - will he receive XP to take him up 2 levels - or am I always 'capped' to one promotion per mission? edit: same for Psi skills - if one guy does lots of Psi skills - can he get a double promotion - or am I wasting my time?


When does Clash of Clans save?

I have had multiple experiences with Clash of Clans not saving (for lack of a better word) before I close the game, and not noticing until the next time I play. For example: I open the game and train some troops, then close the game. Then I come back later to check on them, but they have disappeared, neither in the barracks or the army camps. I assume this is because my client did not sync with the server before I closed the game. Note: this has also occurred while over a stable WiFi connection. My Clash of Clans is connected to Facebook and Google+. When does Clash of Clans save and how can I make sure this happens?


Why does my SNES console hooked up to flat panel monitor show incorrect colors?

When I try to play Chrono Trigger (US) on my European SNES (with the help of a converter cartridge called 'UA universal adaptor expert version') that's hooked up to a scart-to-hdmi converter device that's hooked up to my PC monitor, I get completely messed up colors on the screen. It's like I am seeing 4-bit colors; red, blue and green ugly all over. Just like when your SCART cable is improperly inserted on your old tv (remember?). However that's not the problem because the SCART is inserted firmly into the converter box. To troubleshoot, I tried hooking up my SNES console to my regular old TV through SCART only and there was no problem there. The colors displayed perfectly. So what is causing the colors to be displayed incorrectly on my flat panel monitor? Is it the scart-to-hdmi box that's doing this? Is it the monitor that's doing this? My monitor works perfectly with everything else (xbox, PC, ..) even with the same HDMI cable used. From what I read, that converter box 'automatically' switches between PAL and NTSC signal. Here is my setup:   * My PC monitor: http://www.asus.com/Display/LCD_Monitors/VK246H/   * My scart-to-hdmi converter upscaler box: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SCART-HDMI-1080p-HD-UPSCALER-Converter-Adapter-Sky-Wii-VHS-STB-DVD-HDTV-/300614927083   * My SNES: PAL European   * Cabling: I'm using a gold plated HDMI 3-star cable I think (regular HD resolution).


How do I load saved states on MyBoy Emulator (Android)?

I was playing and saving Pokémon Emerald on Android in Myboy Emulator using the in-game menu, but now I cannot figure out how to load that previous session. There is no load option in any menu. I can see the file was saved because there is a .sav file. How can I load it?


What are the differences between Soulless and Breathless?

When should I use Abel's U1, Soulless, and when should I use Abel's U2 Breathless? Like, what are the main differences, online matchmaking wise? I like using Soulless due to Armor Break, but at the same time, U2 has armor and can be held down to delay it. Not sure quite what the differences are. Is one better for a ground-game than the other?


Civ 5 BNW: why are city states far tougher than major civ cities on settler?

I started a game of Civ 5 BNW with the mod that makes the USA completely broken (every important unit is upgraded, start with all 4 base techs unlocked, start with 3 settlers, 3 workers and a super strong scout) to have some conquest fun (although I forgot to actually enable the conquest victory, or any victory for that matter). I didn't have any other factions on my continent (180X96 earth with true starting locations), so I could tech up in absolute peace and quiet. So I teched up to Peacemaker (giant death robot of the US) and started conquering the other civs: Egypt, Russia, Korea, Venice and Greece. I saved Korea for last because they were the farthest away and I would have to cross the entirety of Asia to get there. I was planning on taking over all the city states on my way there, but that actually wasn't feasible. While the cities of all other factions had extremely low defense (20-30 next to their shield icon), all the city states had stats in the mid-to high 100's, like 160-180. They could go toe to toe with my peacemakers and come out on top. Why were those city states so damn strong? Is there a hidden effect for this somewhere?


How do I beat level 6-3 in SPY Mouse using only 1 pipe?

One of the challenges on level 6-3 is to beat the level using only 1 pipe. Although I can easily beat the level, no matter how many times I try, I just can't manage to beat the level using only 1 pipe. What's the trick?


Is it possible to compress the map for faster loading on server?

Is Fable III going to be available on the PC?

So everything I have read says Fable III is only on XBox 360, which sucks because I do not have an XBox 360, however I am over at Gamefaqs.com and checking to see what they have on Fable: The Lost Chapters, since I was in need of an rpg to play and they have an entry for Fable III under the PC section. So has anyone heard anything about Fable III being ported to the PC?

Foolproof Strategy to Beat Civilization 2 on Any Level?

I'm curious to know if there is a foolproof way of beating Civ 2 everytime I play. I can do this on the first level and usually the second, but what about Deity level? Assume we're talking about conquest and not the space race.


How much longer does it take to mine blocks underwater or while airborne?

I noticed that when my feet aren't firmly placed on the ground, it takes significantly longer to mine blocks, even with high-end tools. Is there a factor that mining time is increased by for these conditions? What is it?


The "Play" button isn't launching the game

I've bought the first episode of Back To The Future using a promotional code. Then I've downloaded `bttf_101_setup.exe` file and ran it. As expected, Windows 7 32-bit asked to run it as administrator, as the setup requires extra privileges. Then, it was installed successfully. Then I try to launch the game from the desktop shortcut, and I put my Telltale Games account and password (only once, as it saves my credentials after the first launch). Then I select the first Episode and click **play** , and nothing happens! Is there any solution for this? * * * I've already looked on the Internet, and found people reporting success after running the game as administrator. I don't want to run it as administrator (and it's more a workaround than a solution), and that's why I'm posting this question here, hoping to find a better solution.


Redstone Circuitry - Resistors?

Is there any way to construct a resistor within a redstone circuit? I was thinking that there might be some properties of cobblestone versus glass, dirt versus obsidian, etc. but I haven't had the opportunity to check it out. Is there any data on this? (I realize that there probably aren't resistors in Minecraft YET, but i'm really hoping i'm wrong)

Is there a cake in portal 2?

I have been wondering if there is a cake in portal 2 or not. I've seen this question raised on quite some forums but nobody seems to be able to answer it correctly. Some say there is, some say they don't. I've seen a few screenshots, but I'm not sure they are real, because most of them are just from portal 1. So, is the cake real, or is the cake a lie?


Is There Any Way to Farm XP During Post-Game Play?

I'm trying to unlock the trophy **True Hero** - _Purchase every positive Karma upgrade for each power_ on hard difficulty. I've completed all of the story missions and I'm about 8000 XP short for the remaining upgrades. Is there any _reasonable_ way to grind XP during post-game play so that I can get this trophy without having to play through the game again? Keep in mind that on hard mode your enemies reward you with much less XP.


Are statistics and achievements global or not?

Are Minecraft statistics and achievement stored somewhere on Mojang servers, or are they stored only locally on my computer? For example - if I logged into Minecraft on my friends computer, will statistics and achievements be "synced" and visible there? If not, does someone know if it's somewhere on devs to-do list?


When do auto-save checkpoints activate?

When I completed the side-mission, Water and Honesty, I received money from the stanger and +Fame; I was riding fast towards MacFarlane's ranch to save the game, during which power went off in my apartment. Now when I restarted playing when the power resumed, I couldn't see this side mission appearing again. I assume that my PS3 saved this side-quest as completed. Now the question is, would it have saved my increased fame and money? I didn't see any _Saving..._ animation on the left top corner of my TV. Likewise, when I completed Spare the Rod, Spoil the Bandit, I looted the bodies of the bandits I'd neutralised, also my honor was increased moments back when the Marshal left me. With these I was going to save the game, while couple of men were chasing another, when I shot one of them, it turned out that they're lawmen, so a bounty was set on me; I reloaded the last auto saved game and it didn't show this mission any more. The questions are: When does auto-save kick in? What all does it save? When are fame, honor and money saved? When are mission (both main and side) completions saved?


Is the game client region locked?

I am going to be buying Guild Wars 2 soon, and I was wondering if the game client is region locked in a similar manner to how it is in World of Warcraft? For example; if I was to purchase the game in Europe, would I only be able to create characters on European servers or would I be able to create characters on both European servers and on servers based in other regions as well? If not, is it still possible to purchase a copy of the game in Europe, and play on American servers, or do I need an American game client to do this?


What affects the wear rate of clothing items?

Do we know anything about differential wear rates between clothing items?   1. Does material affect wear rate? (Leather, cloth, silk, yarn, adamantine; do they wear out at different speeds?)   2. Does quality affect wear rate? (Does a masterwork item last longer than an ordinary one?)   3. Do different clothing types wear at different rates?   4. Does decoration have any effect on wear?


How do you get the gold key from the Osmos-like area?

How to counter marine rush as a protoss on maps with huge ramps like Scrap Station?

Assuming that I scout well and find out that my opponent is going for mass marines early on (no gas, reactors), I still seem completely unable to counter marines when they come at me too early. My sentries die immediately, so Guardian Shield isn't up for really long. It's impossible to forcefield the ramp because it's too huge. I usually have not enough stalkers to hold. I surely do something wrong, but I hope this not micro (I'm terrible at it). (I hope this is not a duplicate, but I found no reply other than:   * FF your ramp: I'm talking about huge ramps like Scrap Station's   * Collossi : I'm talking about a marine rush, I'd have no way to rush this much to collosus.   * Guardian shield + stalkers is a good answer, but how do I keep my sentries alive? With zealots => less stalkers... ) EDIT: some good looking answers were provided, but some of them collide. I'll have to try several of them but have not too much time to do so currently. My list looks like this:   * choking the base entrance   * more units from 2 or 3 gateways + cannons (not sure about the order...)   * more sentry-focused army and using FF to create chokes EDIT: TESTS RESULTS Ok, I had some time to make some tests this week-end, although not real in- game tests. I just used the UnitTest map.   * zealots alone are good enough in small numbers against a mineral equivalent number of marines, but _only in open spaces (not a ramp)_.   * should you add a sentry (with guardian shield), your army is allowed to be smaller than your opponent's.   * stalkers need an arc and a guardian shield to be really effective without micro. Anyhow, the good answer is really to just have stuff to defend, it seems.


How to continue after the breeding room?

Adam has ordered me to investigate Sector 1, and after leaving the Breeding Room (after the cutscene) the door locks after me. The main route has been blocked by a blast shield BEHIND a door, for which I need Super Missiles, but Adam hasn't authorized them yet. How do I continue? There is nothing in the hallway, and in the control room nearby, there was an enemy in a pod which I shot.


How can I get medics to pop ubers early?

Are there any mental or physical tricks I can use to get medics to pop ubers early? Normally in pubs, this wouldn't be such a big deal, but when playing competitively, it can turn the tide of battle one way or the other. How can I get medics to pop an uber early?

Is the end of New Super Mario Bros Wii really the end?

I **finally** did it, I just got all the star coins in World 9 of **New Super Mario Brothers** for the Nintendo Wii! ( _Wow_ was level 9-7 _hard!!!_ ) The game said something like "Congratulations, you've done everything there is to do!"... But knowing Nintendo, I am skeptical. **Without spoiling it** , is there anything left for me to do, or have I really maxed out the game? (If there is some hidden thing to do, a hint would be much more appreciated than a direct explanation of what the hidden thing is) FYI, My save game icon does have 5 stars on it.


Is city growth beyond level 2 worth the cost?

In Fallen Enchantress, your cities grow if you have food, but the rate is pretty slow. At level 2, you get to specialize your city (to research, military, or economy). Getting to level 2 unlocks a slew of new buildings particular to its specialty: military cities can construct buildings that improve troops and make them cheaper, research cities get access to large research-boosting buildings, and economic cities can get large boosts to gold and global boosts to food. After that, you still get bonuses if your city grows to level 3 and higher, but each new level generally just lets you build _one_ new building, and an expensive one at that. These level-3-and-higher buildings give unique bonuses, but not particularly _large_ bonuses. **Given that building up a city is an expensive/time-consuming process of constructing food-increasing and growth-increasing buildings, and then waiting quite a while, is it worth the effort to build up a city beyond level 2?** Are there particular city types that are more useful to build up, while others aren't worth the effort?


Civ 5 Diplomatic Victory possible with defeated civs?

I currently have a Civ 5 game where I was aiming for a diplomatic victory. 'Unfortunately' throughout the game some civilisations may have fallen at my hand, city states too, with the end result of one competing civ and 3 allied city states. What this means is there is only a possible 6 votes for me. Is it possible to still win somehow? Even if it was possible to make the remaining civ vote for me I would not win. I heard if you attacked a city which was taken from another civ, you can give it back to them and bring them back into the game. Unfortunately it looks like I can't do this with any of the cities. Victory screen says: Votes for you: 5 Total Available Diplomatic Votes: 6 Votes Needed for Diplomatic Victory: 9 Is there any way I can still win this game with a Diplomatic Victory?


What is the Charge vigor good for?

I have almost completed Bioshock Infinite's `1999 Mode` and, at this point, I feel I understand the advantages/drawbacks for each of the vigors. Well all except for one... the `Charge Vigor`. _Image provided below_ (hidden so it doesn't show other vigors in the game): > ![Charge](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6DvVf.jpg) I feel I almost **_never_** use this thing. The only time I did was when I first got it... I used it on a swarm of enemies ( _probably not a good idea_ ), got owned, and never used it again. So, is there any real reason to use this? If so, when?


What is the best equipment set?

I know that all the pieces of the Genji armour set are good but are there any better pieces of equipment that I can obtain?


Can I ever go back to making smaller games?

It seems I've spoiled my fans with AAA titles and whenever I release something that didn't take 15 millions to make they start throwing rotten fruit at me. AAA games are nice and all, but they are so big it takes a lot of time to get to the fun part of the game - fiddling with sliders to create the perfect game. Can I ween my fans off blockbuster games?


If Tali dies after being romanced, can you romance someone else?

How do I save Clementine in the Drug Store myself?

I am in the drug store and Clementine is attacked by a Walker. I stumble down, and try to reach her, yet I am not fast enough and she is saved by someone else instead. Afterwards, there is a notice that Clementine will remember I did not save her. This makes me think it is possible to save her myself. Is it possible to save her by myself? If so, how am I supposed to save Clementine myself?


Why have I got low spawn rate for animals and mobs

In my server.properties, I have game mode set to 0 (survival), spawn rates set to defaults (1 tick for mobs, 400 ticks for animals) difficulty set to normal and we are harldy seeing any mobs or friendlies. We even have a mob-grinder which is failing to spawn more than 1 mob per-day. This is running on craft-bukkit 1.2.5 Our host seems to think that others have reported the same sort of issue. Does anyone have any ideas what the underlying issue may be?


Does the Blizzard downloader download cross platform files?

The downloader downloads both Mac and Windows setup programs, which are both very small (< 3MB) and a lot of generic binary files. Are these binary files cross platform? Can I use my Mac and the Mac downloader to get the setup files, and then install on my Windows PC? I understand the need for two "installers" from the battle.net website as the downloading process needs to be platform dependant, but if the downloader downloads both .app and .exe files then it seems to be cross platform from then on. Can anyone confirm this?


Is there a way to tell the Inventory button to stop flashing at me when I pickup new items?

Is there any reason to do all these pull-ups?

After finishing the main storyline of the Citadel DLC, you get the option to invite certain crewmembers up to your apartment for a scene. When you invite James in, he notices your exercise equipment as he's leaving. At this point, you can interact with the pull-up bar and he'll challenge you to beat his record - 182 pull-ups. You can indeed manually do these pull-ups one-by-one. Is there any point or reward to completing this?


Which provinces are "Canadian"?

I have a mission to "establish a presence in Canada". Under the success criteria, it simply says that I need to own any province in Northern America. I have now successfully colonized and conquered several provinces listed as belonging to North America, but to no avail. I checked the colonial-missions.txt, but it doesn't give me any clues, other than the following:               success = {         northern_america = {             owned_by =  ROOT         }     }      I picked one province, which is part of present day Canada, and transferred ownership from the console. This **did not** complete the mission. I then did the same with a different province (which had already been colonized by a different nation). This **did** complete the mission. Is there a way to figure out which provinces are actually in the success criteria, or do I need to take the trial and error approach?


What happens if I lose a scroll used in a deck?

Suppose I own, say, three of some particular scroll, and have all three of them in one of my decks. What happens if I sell, trade, or craft one of the three scrolls? Will   1. the deck silently stop containing that scroll,   2. the deck be unavailable for play, or   3. I be unable to dispose of that scroll? Also, is the behavior any different if one or more of the scrolls involved is higher tier (crafted) and therefore unique?


As a Zeus, should I max Static Field or Arc Lightning after Lightning Bolt?

Consider the following scenarios: Scenario 1: Zeus, level 11, level 4 Lightning Bolt, level 4 Arc Lightning, level 2 Thundergod's Wrath, level 1 Static Field. Scenario 2: Zeus, level 11, level 4 Lightning Bolt, level 1 Arc Lightning, level 2 Thundergod's Wrath, level 4 Static Field. In both scenarios, the only relevant item Zeus has is a Veil of Discord, so mana issues should not be considered. Now mind the following case: A team fight is about to happen, there are 3 to 5 heroes of both teams that are going to participate in this teamfight, leaving the number of heroes of both teams participating even, which make us consider allied damage. Assuming that the enemy heroes are in the level range of 8 to 12, with an HP pool ranging from 850 to 1300, and that Zeus is always safe from disables, leaving him free to dish out his spells, which scenario does the most damage to the enemy heroes in the teamfight? Things to consider: Your goal is to kill enemy heroes and deal heavy damage to every enemy hero present in the teamfight, so please assume Zeus initiates with Thundergod's Wrath, then proceeds to Lightning Bolt a target and spam Arc Lightning while Lightning Bolt is on cooldown. Also, the enemy heroes are always in range of Static Field and near each other to be hit by every Arc Lightning. Answers with numerical explanations are preferred. Note: The answer does not have to calculate Veil of Discord damage amplification. Nevertheless, answers with Veil of Discord damage amplification are welcome too.


Referees in Dota 2 matches

Watching the International qualifiers, there are green named referees, talking to players about why they're pausing (and maybe other powers that aren't so visible, such as allowing a team that calls gg to end the game early?). Is this a special Valve only feature, or is it possible to get it in "normal" games, or casual matches between two teams that'd like a referee?


How is the best way Strategy to level up in Clash of Clans

What classes are best for beating the Boss Hive?

The new 0.2 version of Desktop Dungeons has a new special level called the Boss Hive. The special feature of this dungeon is that it includes all possible monster types, and all monsters (regardless of level) are given the same bonuses that the boss monster of that type gets. This means extra damage, extra hit points, and extra special abilities. In order to unlock the new class in the 0.2 version, you need to beat Boss Hive with 4 different classes. So which classes are best suited to this environment?


How do you go up a tall wall?

Occasionally in _Dustforce_ I'll come up against a tall wall with crud fairly high up where a double-jump + a little wall run will just barely get me into it, but I lose momentum and fall. Sometimes I'm able to get up with enough speed to keep running, but I don't know what I'm doing other than getting frustrated at the controller. When I'm successful, it seems like I can hop off and on the wall quickly, but when I actually try to jump off and on I can't air-jump back on and I just fall. How do you go up tall walls (not shafts where you can ping-pong back and forth)?


I play as Venice, which is not part of the Holy Roman Empire (HRE), but is surrounded by provinces that are. Conquering those provinces will not remove them from the HRE, but you can do it manually. I know it will "upset the Emperor", but not by how much. If I remove several provinces, will the negative opinion modifier stack? Will other member states care? What about non-members? Will it affect local rebels? Also, I guess it will remove the "unlawful imperial territory" event, but that only fires on provinces which are not cored anyway. **What are the pros and cons from removing a province from the HRE?**


How does the campaign award difficulty medals in Anno 1404?

I'm not sure how exactly the campaign counts difficulty completion. Rather than choosing the difficulty for the entire campaign, you choose the difficulty for individual missions, as seen below. In that screenshot, I've completed the first 3 missions in the campaign on Easy. If I were to switch to Medium for one mission, what would happen when I finish the campaign? Will it take the majority of missions I've completed on a certain difficulty? ![campaign difficulty selection](http://i.stack.imgur.com/h3YV1.jpg) In the medal section, there's a series of medals from bronze to gold for completing all campaign missions. If I complete the campaign on Medium, will I be rewarded the silver Medium medal _and_ the bronze Easy medal, or will I have to do a separate playthrough on Easy? ![campaign medal awards](http://i.stack.imgur.com/azTox.jpg) I can't find anywhere ingame where it explains how exactly the difficulty works in regards to overall campaign progress and medal awards.


Why is Dexion Evicus attacking me?

I rescued Dexion and he immediately began attacking me. Serana beat him down and we got out of the cave, but he was outside with us and began attacking again. Serana beat him down again and I was able to fast travel to the Dawnguard hold. He was inside and was attacking everyone. I've tried:   * changing his faction   * setting his hostility to 0   * teleporting him outside the hold One of the above console commands did something to him because now he's just standing still, but he's "busy", so I cannot interact with him. I no longer have the auto save from before I rescued him, so I am going to need some console magic to fix this.


How does the system security level affect PvE?

I understand the relation between system security levels and CONCORD (cf. What do all these security levels mean in Eve-Online?). The Eve-wiki is also very general on that topic: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/System_security#Security_level_as_a_difficulty_rating But as I mostly play PvE at the moment, does a system sec level >0.0 affect…   * rat quality/bounty (NPC pirates), or   * mission bounties?


What should I do with all this candy corn?

This week in Guild Wars 2, you can loot candy corn from the trick-or-treat bags randomly dropped by enemies, and mine it from candy corn veins scattered around the world. I've found a few uses for this stuff already, but what I really what to know is what I _should_ be doing with it to maximize my potential rewards from the Halloween event. So: What should I be doing with this candy corn to maximize my potential rewards from the Halloween event?


Does Caitlyn's Ace in the Hole have a maximum range after use?

I know that some champion's ults have a "leash" range to them after being used, like Nautilus' for instance. But my question is, since Caitlyn's ult gives vision on it's target while channeling, is there any way to either: A) break the channel by out-ranging it B) Out-range the actual projectile once it's fired?


Can I cancel a queued batch?

I queued up a batch, but after finishing the pervious one, one of my employees levelled up. I chose to improve her craft stat, and I don't want it to go to waste. Can I cancel that batch and make a new one?


Quake 1 under Linux using QuakeSpasm 0.85.9 "Couldn't find a cdrip for track" and "Couldn't handle music file"

# I'm trying to get Quake 1 music to work under Linux. I've downloaded the shareware version, downloaded the music, manually done de- emphasis on them (sound bassier and heavier), packaged both data and music with game-data-packager and installed the resulting .deb files.

What is Seven-Sided Strike's reach and damage division?

The Monk's Seven-Sided Strike is a focus skill, a series of hits back and forth about a circle. Sometimes I'll see the Monk's animation reach enemies outside the circle. How far does this move reach, and how does it divide the 777% weapon damage over seven hits amongst the targets? If there is one target, does it get seven hits worth 111% weapon damage? Are some hits worth more than 111% (and others less)? If there are seven targets, does every one get a hit or are the hits chosen randomly within the circle (some receiving double, others receiving none)? Or do all targets in the area receive 777% weapon damage? Does the move prioritize enemies within the circle, and how many yards will the move reach if there is no one nearby? ![Seven-Sided Strike](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ALkOk.png)


Strategies for dealing with disasters

How can I setup my village to optimize its resiliency against disasters? So far, I've experienced a fire and a tornado. After the fire destroyed my village, I decided to make house clusters a little distance from one another, so the fire won't spread so easily. But I don't know what's the minimum safe distance that won't allow a fire to spread to the nearest building. Then a tornado ripped through my city, destroying all my storage barns and condemning all citizens to death by starvation. I have no idea how to deal with tornadoes.


Trouble on status combination

As a Demon hunter, I'm getting some trouble at nightmare difficulty, not big deal but i'm worried that it'll be even harder at high difficulties. I tested two combinations of attributes but my damage is still quite low, and I die quite easily. the combinations were:   * Vitality + Dexterity   * Attack Speed + Life on hit. I don't know if I'm doing it in the right way or not. `How can I improve?`


How do I reduce the effects of Boss Modifiers?

As a melee character, I am often melted by plague, desecrator, and molten Boss Modifiers, tearing through 24k HP. What can I do to delay my death? How severely will resistances assist, and what resistance should I pair with each Modifier? Is it worth equipping resistances before entering, say, an area with many molten enemies? What about the INT stat? How much do I need to equip (as a DEX character) before I start seeing results? What other skills and buffs apply here?

Which tank to counter enemy picks?

I am trying to specialize in tank role and I bought and practiced almost all tanks (miss only Shen). At the moment, unfortunately, I'm low in ELO and it happens really often that I am the last player to pick. Supposed that there are no other tanks in my team, what should I look for in enemy team composition and my team composition to select an appropriate tank?


What makes a map better for one strategy than another?

For race verses race strategies, the "meta-game" changes with time. I can understand that. But often when watching VODs with announcers they say "oh! that is a good strategy for this map" or perhaps the opposite. This leads me to believe that some maps are good for some strategies and bad for other strategies and I would like to know why that is so that I can best choose and create my own strategies. What I'm trying to figure out is what features make a map better for one approach over another. The only example I have is that some maps have a good area for drops while others do not. To narrow this down let's pick the current (Dec 2013) 1v1 ladder maps, specifically Frost LE and Derelict Watcher TE. I play Terran mostly but it would be nice to also know what I am likely going to be facing from Protoss and Zerg. **What are the most effective strategies for Frost LE and Derelict Watcher TE and why? Conversely, what are the least effective strategies for Frost LE and Derelict Watcher TE and why?**


House Party Protocol glitch?

I finished the story and all, and done the bonus mission in Stark Tower named "House Party Protocol" got Stan Lee in Peril and True Believers, yet when I try to go in again for the Red Brick, it doesn't ask me if I want to do it in Free play mode or not, in which I cannot get the Red Brick. Any help on this? (I'm on the PC btw).


Steam "Connect" Protocol

I currently have a link set on my website to run the following               steam://connect/188.141.19.52:27016      When it runs, it launches Insurgency Standalone but it doesn't connect. If a person uses `connect 188.141.19.52:27016` in the Insurgency console it works fine; This works locally if I put it as               steam://connect/192.168.0.26:27016      Which is the local IP that this server is being hosted on. Ports are forwarded in Windows Firewall & on Gateway, server displays fine on the in-game server browser and sites such as gametracker display the server fine too. If I click the link on the website to initiate the connection file then it launches the game and joins no server, it just sits at the menu; but if I Alt+Tab out and click the link again, it connects to the server once it's maximized again. It's just the original `steam://connect/188.141.19.52:27016` that won't work what-so-ever. The server itself is connected to my own AD Domain with DNS set up. Any ideas as to what is happening here?


How to counterattack with Xiba?

I am attempting to learn how to play as Xiba, but my first foray into online fighting has left me 0-3. I had trouble opening up the opponent's defense, and couldn't get off my back feet to initiate an attack. It seems one of Xiba's advantages is his weapon speed. When the opponent misses an attack or has one blocked, I would like to jab him real quick, just to interrupt his flow. Despite the flurry nature of Xiba's moves, however, none of the ones I tried seemed to simply start up and hit quickly to punish mistakes like this. What are Xiba's effective punishing strategies? When an opponent leaves himself open for just a few frames, which of his attacks are most likely to hit and interrupt the opponent's flow? What kinds of attacks does his "Rememberance" stance counter? Is using that even a reasonable option?


How do I unlock all of the movies?

I've just reached the end of the storyline in de Blob 2 and the list of movies I've unlocked in the extras section is incomplete - the final two are still locked. Thus far all of the level start/end movies are unlocked, so none of those are missing (each movie has unlocked after the level it is linked to was complete), but I've not even _seen_ the last two yet. And my daughter is now pestering me to find them for her so that she can watch them... I believe I got the "S" rating (the highest it seems) in all but one or two levels (which were "A" rated), I guess this could be a factor? Or do I need to find more of the "art pad" collectable objects (although they seem to be unlocking galleries so far, and not movies)?


Is it faster to build a sentry in-place or build it near the resupply and then haul it?

I'm trying to understand what is the faster way to get a strong sentry to the front at the beginning of the round (the **setup time** ). Is it better to build a sentry directly on the front? This has the advantage of it being able to shoot enemies even before it's fully upgraded, but the disadvantage of the engineer having to scavenge metal around the front to build it. Or perhaps it is better to build a sentry near the resupply, then haul it? This has the advantage of metal being readily available near the resupply, but the disadvantage of having to haul it (slower move speed) the whole distance, and also that it will not be there at all until the engineer arrives. Also, the hauling method incurs the overhead of deployment time twice.

Is all of the 4GB of internal memory on a basic Xbox 360 Slim model usable?

On the newer Xbox 360 Slim models the base 4GB internal memory version ($199), is the full 4GB of internal memory usable, or is some of it partitioned for other uses like the dashboard software, etc.? If it's not all usable, how much is left over for use for profiles, save games and other items? I know that on my older 20GB hard drive model, only about 13-14GB of space were actually usable after formatting and dashboard software and whatnot.

What are some designs for "safe" melon farms?

I really like the wheat farms described in this answer, because it's impossible to trample farmland and harvested crops always bounce back at you. Are there any similar designs optimized for melon farming? I tried putting blocks directly above where melons grow, but then I can't get any slices that fall back to where the stem is.

"Fishing job" - can't complete

I've got a fishing job from the thieves guild and it takes place in Markarth. The individual that I'm supposed to steal from is named Imedhnain, and he is located in Arnleif and Sons Trading Company. I have been unable to find him anywhere else but there, although he may leave at certain times of the day - I'm not sure. In any case, when I break in to Arnleif and Sons at night, as soon as I break in I am seen by him and Lisbet, as they're having a conversation at a counter directly in front of me. I've tried breaking in at different hours of the night, but every time they're there at the counter. Also, I've tried using an invisibility potion before lockpicking the door, but the potion seems to expire right when I enter. How exactly do I go about stealing from this fool if I get caught every time I break-in?

Can I play any Quake 1 mods without original game?

I've found quite a lot "mods" on http://quaddicted.com, and I've tried some open-source Quake engines (QuakeSpasm, DirectQ), but they all seem to complain in this way or other, that I haven't got the original game contents. Is it possible to play any quality, free content with some of the free Quake 1 engines, without the original game? **EDIT:**   Trying to clarify: initially, I was left with an impression that some of the mods are actually "total conversions" (e.g. from Quoth description: _"The intention is to provide quality custom content for Q1 mappers and players in a single pak file."_ ), but now from the partial answers below, I'm starting to believe that it's not so, and they all (?) still expect some of the original Quake contents present? That said, my overall intent in the question remains the same, but I'll try to reformulate it in other words, then. So: Is there any:   * free, quality (although that's subjective, so can be skipped), full replacement ("total conversion"?) of contents for Quake 1 engine, fully independent from original paks/wads;   * plus a free engine for running it, that won't try to detect & complain that I don't have "a registered version of Quake 1"? As a runner-up question, could I somehow (and if yes, then how?) detect the full list of missing assets for some given mod, and maybe try to then build some substitutes by myself, to complete the picture? Thanks!


When should I stop playing endless mode in Plants vs Zombies?

I don't think there's already a clone question, if there is I apologize but I didn't find it. It's **kinda of a spoiler** but not really a spoiler. So I'm using this strategy and I have 142 flags: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hQr1P.jpg) The thing is since flag #50 I'm not noticing changes in the behaviour of the AI. Basically I'm winning easy, I have just to restore the _Pumpkin_ shield on the plants. I really don't care about doing 1000 flags so should I expect some increase in difficulty or is that it? The version is **Game of the Year**.


Can Chrom Marry Someone Else?

By default Chrom becomes wed to Sumia relatively early in the game. Marriage has the support rank of "S" on the Support menu. When inspecting Chrom's available support options I saw that there are 3 other possible "S" characters. Can Chrom marry someone other than Sumia?


Is it possible to buy all plan parts from Merchant's House?

I've read that the plans of wonders such as Ruins can be all bought from Merchant's House. However, the last times I visit it, if there is any plan part available, it's the Ruins part 5. So, did someone get all the needed parts from Merchant's House? Are the parts displayed there really random, or some parts won't show up, so that the user will be forced to use piasters?


Is it possible to earn individual medals of the same type multiple times in mass effect 3 multiplayer?

In the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer you can earn individual medals for things like number of kills. These medals are divided into bronze, silver and gold levels - in the case of kills these correspond to 25, 50 and 75 kills. My question is whether it is possible to earn multiple medals of the same kind during a game? i.e. if I get to 100 kills do I get a gold and bronze medal for kills or just a single gold medal for reaching the 75 kills?


My follower attacks me when I pick up stolen items in my house

I built my Lakeview manor house and I decided to try and pimp it out and make it look cool. Try being the key word. Most of my items are stolen, just because I steal a lot, and for some stupid reason, getting my follower to empty chests and carry a crap load of items for me seems to make them all of a sudden stolen. Anyways, when place a stolen weapon, lets say, in a display case and then decide I want to move it or use it, my follower (Ogol) give me a bounty and turns on me. He gives me the option to pay or else. If I dont pay he leave my service and attacks me and that also turns my housecarl after me as well. I know this stupid place has so many damn bugs it isn't funny but I'm not sure if this has anything at all to do with the house or not. Is there anyway to prevent this? Anything I can do at all? I just built my second house at another location because the glitches and bug really scare me. My items have been getting moved around and even vanished after leaving and coming back. The only good thing about the bugs are, for whatever reason one of my mannequins keeps spawning a $5000 piece of ebony mail and a ebony shield every time I leave the area, so its making me a lot of money. But I'd really love to use my house and not worry. So does anyone have any suggestions or does anyone else have this problem?


Is there any benefit to keeping resources in my clan castle?

With the new clan wars update, any resources won will stay in your clan castle until you withdraw them. When you withdraw them, the game asks "are you sure?" which led me to wonder if there is any reason to keep them inside the clan castle. What benefit, if any, is there to keeping resources in your clan castle?


Is my "Soul Shriven in Coldharbour" quest in The Elder Scrolls Online stuck?

I have gotten out of the start zone in The Elder Scrolls: Online and have gotten to Stros M'Kai and Betnikh. However the quest "Soul Shriven in Coldharbour" is still in my quest log as not compelted, and has the current objective "Talk to the Prophet". I canot find where this "Prophet" is - selecting the quest shows that the waypoint is always at Gilzir (the NPC you talk to to go from Stros M'Kai to Betnikh and vice versa) which makes me think that the waypoint is not in any of these zones. Was I supposed to complete this quest before I left the starting zone, and it never registered as complete? Will this prevent me from progressing further in the main quest? If so, is there a way to fix it?


When I load hexxit, it stays on a white screen

My Hexxit on the Technic launcher loads properly, when the launcher is done loading Hexxit, it pops up the Hexxit thing and then it stays on a white screen and the Mojang sign doesn't even pop up. I've left it there for at least 2 hours+ while I was doing something else and when I got back, it was still on that white screen. It doesn't crash, it doesn't automatically pop off, it stays there as a white screen. I normally don't get any lag on any Technic modpacks and I have around 2g left on my computer to use. Is it that Hexxit is a very big modpack and takes a lot of space because I have a lot of junk I can trash but this is seriously abnormal. Can someone help me?


Crushing mode with new user account on PS3

Although I finished Uncharted 3 already with my main account, I recently made a new user account and started playing it again with new user account like you just created a new user. I finished the game on normal and hard - still no crushing mode on multiplayer. Is it possible that if you make new user account and finish the game on any difficulty, that you will get crushing mode in co-op adventure mode? Do I have to transfer trophies or anything like that?


How can I get easy critical hits with the Charge Rifle?

For the Gen 5 challenge "Critically Conditioned: Charge Rifle", I need to get 30 critical hits with the Charge Rifle. As any good Titan isn't standing in one place very long (and even if they are they are rotating and slightly gyrating), lining up hits is tedious at best. I had the thought to rodeo and use the Charge Rifle, but while it seems to give a 'red' hit indication around my reticle, my challenge progress is not ticking up any. I've heard rodeoing is a way to do the challenge, but I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong. Does the Titan's shields need to be down before a rodeo shot counts as a crit? Is it bugged? Was it patched?


Can you continue with Winterhold college sidequests after finishing its mainline quest?

I just realized I'm about to finish Winterhold college mainline quest. I thought it would be longer so I thought I would do its sidequests a bit later. Will it be possible to finish all of its sidequests (like getting the books, or helping fellow novice mages etc.) after I become the Archmage or should I finish them all before that?


No sound in Call of Duty over HDMI when used with an Asus monitor

I connected a PS3 to an Asus 24" Monitor (Asus PB248Q) via HDMI. The monitor does not have internal speakers but has a jack for headphones. If I connect a headset to the headphones jack I can hear the audio in the main PS3 menu (for example, the clicks that sound when you are selecting a user). However, if I load Call of Duty, there is no sound coming out of the headset. The volume is fully turned up (both in the monitor's OSD and in PS3). Sound stops in the switch to CoD. I notice that when Call of Duty loads, "HDMI" appears a couple times on the monitor so I assume that Call of Duty is doing some kind of HDMI initialization that ends up turning off sound. By comparison, if the HDMI connection is made to a Sony Bravia TV, then is sound is fine for Call of Duty so it seems an issue specific to this monitor that does not have built-in speakers. I wonder if Call of Duty does some kind of handshake at load-time with the monitor and then turns off sound if it does not detect built-in speakers Is there any setting I can configure to solve this issue?


When can I use Javik as a companion?

If you don't know what the ME3 DLC is about, you may get spoiled. I did the `From Ashes` mission, and now I have a living Prothean as a potential squadmate. However, in the first mission after rescuing him, I wasn't able to select him, he was grayed out. He did mention that I was lying with words (as he sensed I'm a little too nice to people) when I told him I'd do anything to stop the reapers. Do I have to be a Renegade before I can use him? Or will he become available later?   Why can't I select him from the get-go?


Does it matter what order I do the missions on Tuchanka in?

Can't connect to LAN games

My friend and I normally LAN a lot of games, however lately for some reason he can't see me in any games (ranging as far as Minecraft to Civilization 5) I've tried:   * Disabling the firewall and even as far as windows defender on both laptops to no avail.    * Making network rules to allow Civ 5 and Minecraft etc to be allowed through the firewalls I'm relatively certain it's his laptop as he couldn't connect to someone else's game a few days earlier, when everyone else apparently could (I wasn't there in person). The kicker is that at the moment, there is no internet at the place where we are LANning. We just have the router that we are connecting to (which used to work fine) but now it means we cant use services like GameRanger. We used to have this problem but it was simple as disabling the McAfee or Norton (I cant remember which) that game with the laptop but I haven't seen him in a while and now there's no sign of any Antivirus other than Windows Firewall and Defender, I don't know if theres somthing still lingering in the depths of his laptop thats stopping us connecting. Thanks for taking the time to read and help


How does the "Hyper-reactive pupils" gene mod work?

The caption says "Confers +10 aim on any shot after a miss". Does this mean that if the soldier misses on turn n, they get +10 aim for turn n+1? How about during the same move with Rapid Fire? How about during the same turn with any of,   * Close and Personal   * Bullet Storm   * Double Tap   * In The Zone How about an assault's automatic reaction shot? Does that get the extra aim, and does a miss on that shot provide extra aim? Lots of possibilities to be tested here, including perhaps some I haven't thought of ;-)


Do I need to bring my scientific instruments back from the Mun?

I'm doing science (career mode), and I plan to send a manned spacecraft to the Mun. It'll have some basic science instruments on it -- SC-9001 Science Jr, Mystery Goo, etc. Assuming that I don't want to transmit the data back to Kerbin, do I need to bring these instruments back? Ordinarily, I'd just have the capsule (including Kerbals) returning under a parachute, and I'd leave the rest of the spacecraft as interplanetary litter. Will I be able to bring back the science from my mission in this way?


How do you upgrade the building?

I cannot buy another upgrade for my sword because it says the building is too low level. So how do I further upgrade my building? All rooms have been built.


How do I orientate the navball properly with a probe?

I have designed a rocket with a plane on the top. It looks a bit like a Christmas tree topper and hence a bit silly, but it works. However, once I get it into orbit, left is right, up is down, and in general its a nightmare to control; I'd never manage to dock it or fly it anywhere. Part of the reason is because I can't tell the orientation of a probe just by looking at it - its all grey, all over. If I press `W`, `A`, `S`, or `D`, I don't really know which way it has spun, so again, it's a nightmare. Is there any way to orientate the probe properly? Does anyone have any tips?


In Dead Money, how do I trap Father Elijah in the vault?

There's an achievement for trapping Father Elijah in the vault, but he has a knack for seeing right through stealth regardless of your preparations. Other guides suggest you should be able to just sprint for the compartment in the SE corner of the room, but every time I've tried, he detects me and the blue force fields come back up just before I'd make it through the door. How do I trap Father Elijah in the vault?


What is the silo decay rate?

According to What's the maximum a silo can store?, silos have a decay rate proportional to the amount of grains stored in the silo. Can anyone give us exact numbers on this decay?


How can I make Redstone respond to a player having no money in their account?

I am building a gambling machine on a Bukkit server with the Vault plugin, and I would like to do an error check. When the player wants to play the game, they need to have X dollars in their bank account. If they have less than the amount they want to bet, they should not be able to place a bet. Is there any way to get a Redstone flag to be true if the player has enough money in their account to place the bet they want to place (or false if they don't)?


Automaton industry stacking mechanism

There are 2 things I'd like to understand about the Automaton special ability. This is what I read on Wikia and the Amplitude Studio Website, emphasising what I don't understand : * * *   1. At the end of the turn, if there is an overproduction, it's stacked **instead of being reported [1]**.    2. At the beginning of a turn, an interest is applied to the stacked industry, allowing it to increase a bit.    3. The stacked industry is capped at 5 * system's industry.    4. If the overproduction cannot be stacked, it's conserved for the next turn like the current mechanism.    5. When the automatons build improvements & ships, the industry is used in the following order:      * system's industry      * **overproduction [2]**     * stacked industry    6. When a system from the Automatons is invaded, the stacked industry is destroyed, reset to 0 even if the invader is an Automaton. * * * [1] **reported** suggest to me that it could saved for the next turn, but only once. Like a phone subscription, for which unused credit is saved for the next-month (it only works for the next month and cannot be 'stacked' for the following ones). From what I know the unused industry is just **lost**. Is that correct? [2] How can the **overproduction** be used after the system's industry? For me, the overproduction is what remains of the system industry after it was used. But the system's industry is consumed first, therefore it cannot remain anything. How can 'overproduction' be used? Is it just a mistake? Thanks in advance to everyone having any answer for one of my two questions :)


How do I open the Command Options in Battlefield 3 for the PS3?

I play on the pc and can bring up the commands to spot enemies, call for ammo, etc but my son plays on the PS3 and we can't figure out how to do those same actions. Anyone got an answer?


How do I evade police brutality?

My friendly neighborhood wild mage, unfortunately, killed a handful of commoners with an AOE Magic Missile (at least I think that's what happened.) Now, I'm only level 1/2, having just returned to Nashkel from Nashkel Mines, and an Amnish Guard caught sight of me, and decided he wanted to kill me. The party ducked into a nearby temple of Helm and gave the gods a thousand gold pieces or so, allowing them to be respectable members of society once more, and this guard's friends aren't upset. He however, is one to hold a grudge, one which has persisted across several days of travel (Beregost and back), and loading a game after closing the program. (coming back to play the next day) I don't want to completely negate the effects of the Wild Surge by loading a game before it happened, as that seems to fly in the face of the Wild Mage playstyle, and I haven't yet found a Charm Person or similar to try; is there any way I can have peaceful relations with this guardsman? Or am I doomed to kill him and lose all my hard-bought reputation?

Can I get a country back into XCOM program?

I am playing XCOM - Enemy Unknown on Classic difficulty. In the first month, Australia quit the XCOM program.

How did you end up at the beginning of borderlands 2 story line

Well as you know quite a while ago a sequel to Borderlands came out known as borderlands 2. I have played through the game but I still wonder about the beginning. In the tutorial, you wake up on a snow covered mountain and claptrap is trying to bring you along because he thinks you are a corpse. claptrap pulls you up and informs you about various things. My question is, how did zero and the others end up on a mountain? I heard before something about Handsome Jack but it didn't give a full explanation. so does anyone know how exactly you end up on top of a mountain?


How do I make my companions use better gear in Fallout?

I gave Ian a hunting rifle and ammo to go with it and told to "use your most powerful weapon on the next battle", but he still uses his 10 mm pistol. If I take away his 10 mm ammo, he just fights unarmed. And there doesn't seem to be any option to make him wear better armor at all. What to do? What are the limitations? What equipment will companions use, if I give it to them? Bonus: Dogmeat can't use any gear. Any way to make him tougher?


The Stick of Truth Friend and Clothes Missing?

I'm trying to get all the trophies available for the game (PS3) but whenever I earn the necromancer robe,it just disappears from my inventory, preventing me from earning the trophy. I have finished the game a couple of times, and I was able to wear the necromancer robe back then, but now I can't. Also, in the start of the game, when I befriend Clyde, I can see him as my friend on the menu, but after the attack of the elves that occurs after choosing a class, he just disappears from my friends list. Anyone knows why & how to fix this?

In Pokemon Black/White, can the Name Rater remove a nickname?

I had a Patrat that I taught Cut, but once I got Strength I taught another Pokemon both Cut and Strength. Now the Patrat is redundant. But when I came across the Name Rater I renamed Patrat to `+Cut`. (I named the other pokemon `+CutStr`.) Earlier today I found the Move Deleter. I used him to delete Cut from `+Cut`. Then I flew back to the Name Rater and tried to remove the nickname from `+Cut`. I tried entering a blank name, but the result of that was that the name was unchanged. Then I tried naming it `Patrat`, which worked. Has its nickname been removed, or do I now have a Patrat whose nickname is `Patrat`? What would happen if it evolved? Would its name become `Watchog` or would it evolve into Watchog but still be called `Patrat`? (If I had enough Rare Candies then I would try it out to see what happens, without saving the game, but I have only 4 Rare Candies so far.)


How do I kill a pig which was turned into a zombie pigman by lightning in SMP?

# no longer applicable for minecraft versions beta 1.6 and later While playing on a Minecraft SMP bukkit server, I tried using the `/thor` command to manipulate lightning on a few pigs with my pickaxe. ![lightning on pigs](http://i.stack.imgur.com/nV4Gs.png) But it seems that I can't kill it, I even tried putting them in a pit and hitting them with a diamond sword, to no avail. However, they still make the damage sound. ![zombie pigmen in a pit](http://i.stack.imgur.com/zaT5e.png) I even tried using the `/butcher` command provided with WorldEdit, but it still would not work! ![/butcher does not work](http://i.stack.imgur.com/C5icb.png) So, how do I kill the zombie pigmen? **EDIT:**   I know that restarting the server, unloading the chunk on the server etc. will despawn the mob, but what I want to do is to _**kill**_ it. So,   1. Is this a bug?   2. Does it happen in other servers?   3. What can I do to fix it?


What's the difference between the Fancy and Fast settings in Minecraft?

I was under the impression that the Fancy/Fast graphics settings would be a purely visual thing, with lighting/textures/what have you turned down, essentially. But reading this question, it appears there are some functional differences between the two as well (the example given is that you can place torches on leaf blocks in Fast mode, but not in Fancy mode). Is this just the result of a glitch, or is it intentional? Are there other differences in gameplay between the two, whether they're glitches or designed?

Does Assassins Creed Brotherhood have the same DRM as Assassins Creed 2?

AC2 had DRM that originally required a constant internet connection, and later required an internet connection at every launch instead. This is a dealbreaker for me as I often game without internet access. Assassins Creed Brotherhood is currently on sale. Does it contain the same DRM?

Is the shape of the slope in the background related to that in the foreground?

Now and then when I play Ski Safari (and I can pull my eyes away from the right side of the screen) I notice that the slope in the background seems to resemble the shape of the slope I'm actually skiing over. ![Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NKvbj.png) Can I use this to predict upcoming hills and drops, or is it just a randomly generated coincidence?


Is that Jun?! I think that is Jun

This morning I was playing halo reach. I completed the campaign and went back to the mission "lone wolf". Well first time I was on that mission I saw a dead corpse and just ignored it. But when I went back to it and I got a closer look at it when I tried to get more ammo and noticed that it wasn't just any corpse. It was either a ODST corpse or a spartan corpse. And not to mention in the halo books there were more Spartans then just noble team. I also noticed that Jun was the only spartan that did not have its own death scene. So was that Jun or someone else? I know Halsey was in the book after the fall of reach, but I think he stayed behind to protect Halsey.

Where is my Insaniquarium Steam Product Activation Code?

Forgive me if my title was a bit wordy and confusing, but I simply want to know where my product activation code for my Insaniquarium Deluxe is.

Pictures would be nice, but not needed. I bought it from Target a few years back.

Why don't vanilla Minecraft "Exp Shops" work when Single Player Commands is installed?

An Exp Shop is a button that, when pressed, will give you items in exchange for a set amount of exp. You build one by placing a button on a wall, and putting two repeaters and command blocks behind it. Here is a diagram:                b  = button     [ ] = wall      r  = repeater     [c] = command block           b [ ] r [c] r [c]      In the first command block, you give the player the item if they have enough xp: `give @p[lm={XP}] {ITEM ID} {QUANTITY}`. In the second command block, you take xp from them: `xp -{XP}L @p[lm={XP}]` The problem is that when single player commands are installed, it will take xp from the player but it won't give them the item. If single player commands are not installed, it works perfectly. Is there a way to make it work both with and without single player commands?


Is the light bulb in the Game Boy Advance SP replaceable?

Is there a way to visually display a unit's range?

Is there a way to show any unit's range visually? When you siege the `Siege Tank`, the range-circle will be shown, like here. Is it possible to show similar circle for `Spine Crawler`, `Roach`, etc.? I want this especially for the `Spine Crawler`, to be able to position it precisely to break the pylon-cannon ramp prison.


What is a high damage infiltrator setup?

I've been playing since near release, and I love infiltrator. I know how to play it well, but I always feel like I'm not dealing enough damage fast enough. The rifle you start with is really great, and I've nearly maxed it's damage. The problem with it is ammo and reload time. I understand it's necessary to give it a smaller amount of ammo and slower reloading speed for balancing reasons, but with enemies constantly popping in and out of cover, it's certainly not a DPS weapon. (To me, anyway. I often find that I'm just about to line up a shot, and the enemy dives back into cover, I miss, and I have to reload.) So, my real question is, what rifle and what armor are the best for an infiltrator character? I imagine using armor that boosts damage (If any armor does.) and combining it with a fast rifle would make for a real badass, especially if you are using maxed tac. cloak. I rely on my heavy pistols a lot, because of ammo capacity and high damage, but it's not good for long corridors or cross-map firefights. If you could tell me where to find/buy the items, I'd appreciate it, but that isn't necessary. Just the names are all I need. Thanks.

Does the available inventory in Sirta Supplies fluctuate?

I discovered a Sirta Supplies terminal at Huerta Medical Center. It's stocked full of various knicknacks like medi-gel capacity upgrades, flowers, candy, books, etc. Nothing too exciting.

Minecraft worlds

Enchant Property: Damage vs. Attack Speed %

There is a similar question about enchant properties for weapons, however I would want to know what should I favor on a ring(and other items): _Average Damage_ or _Attack Speed %_? Here's an example of an item: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ADDch.png) I know it depends on the other items and the build itself, however what is the basic(or advanced) formula for calculating damage output?


How much is one point of each affix worth for damage?

Now that the Mystic has graced us with her presence, we can change a single affix on items. Trouble is, it's sometimes really hard to figure out how much each point is worth. Should I replace Attack Speed? Maybe my main stat? The only way to know currently is to replace it, and see how the damage changes. That's not at all optimal. I know Crit Damage and Crit Chance synergize, and Attack Speed kind of dumps itself on top of that as well, so a formula to calculate that would be very useful. I'm not looking for those affixes that add elemental damage, or damage to a specific skill; those are a straight percentage increase to damage. Just the ones that make up your damage stat on your character screen. I'm aware it's not really possible to calculate true DPS in anything approaching reasonableness. For any item type, what affixes contribute to damage, and how much would a single point add to damage?


How do you read the UI for the items you currently own?

There are a few things going on with the item UI in Smite that I don't get. When you get an item, sometimes it flashes yellow. Sometimes it has blue dots beneath it (up to 3). What do all these things mean? Here is the worst screenshot in the world to show what I'm talking about: ![i'm so sorry](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gGkiw.png) As you can see, the left-most item has zero out of 3 blue dots, the middle has one out of 3 (and is flashing yellow), and the right-most item has 3 out of 3. What's going on here?


What if a king is also a duke in a different kingdom?

I play as the King of Ireland (and Castille), and I've betrothed my male heir to the heir of a duchy and some stray counties in England. As I understand it, my daughter-in-law will rule as a duchess on her own, but their heir will rule both my kingdoms and the English lands (as they are of my dynasty). However, the English lands are of course subjects of England. So what happens then? Will the duchy and counties be separated from England and become part of Ireland? Or will I become a vassal of England – and if so, to what extent?


Special Infantry in Rise of Nations?

How can I recruit the special units like the horse guard grenadier and Napoleon's Guard when I'm playing as the french? I would also like to know If I can get the hummers for the Americans. IS it also possible to recruit a flyut when playing as the dutch?


Civilians stuck on a roof

The Aliens were invading Montreal, so I sent a strike force to intercept them. I came across a bunch of civilians holed up in what appears to be a library. After murdering about a dozen of the alien scum, at the cost of about half a dozen civilians, I've rescued all but three that are hiding on the roof... somehow. I can't find any way to access them, is there an item I'm missing like a jetpack or grappling hook that allows me to get up there? Do I have to abandon them? Or was I supposed to let them be killed by the Floaters that spawned nearby?


PSN+ on all profiles on same console?

Please tell me that Sony doesn't expect me to pay for full subscriptions per account just to enable backing up game data to the cloud? I just got a subscription just so me and my family won't have to worry about losing our game data. But when I go to enable PSN+ backups of save data on accounts other than mine, it asks me to sign up for PSN+. So PSN+ isn't console-wide?!


How do I read TankBall 2's interface?

Whenever I play TankBall 2, I can't help but notice the mysterious numbers at the top left of the screen... ![Bold. Stylish. Different. Plato's ideal form of the game interface.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Gn1ka.png) I figured out pretty quickly that the red bar with the time in it represents the amount of time remaining in the game, but I can't make heads or tails of the numbers above it. How should I read this interface?


What are the different endings available in Aliens: Infestation?

According to an interview with Adam Tierney, the game's director: > We had a tremendous amount of fun retooling the script in each of the > different character’s voices, and the end result ensures players will always > read something new dialogue, and get a slightly different perspective on the > game, depending on who they’re controlling. We even tweaked the ending a bit > for a few of the characters (shhhh). Which characters, or sets of characters, have different endings? Does anything else affect the ending, such as keeping all your marines alive or completing the game under a particular time?


What are the exact rewards from the mission "Priority - Eden Prime"

After I finished the mission and spoke with Javik, I remember there were three "popups" with rewards from it. One was the assault rifle and another one a biotic power. But I forgot what was the last reward, I only remember it had the "Information" header in the popup. I tried to load a save and finish the mission again but only got one "popup" with the assault rifle reward.


Do Redeads stay dead?

In Ocarina of Time, in the Castle Town Market after you are an adult, the Redeads will jump on you and kill you if you don't either run or kill them. When they die, they collapse on the ground, but unlike other Zelda enemies, they don't disappear. Does this mean they could potentially get back up and kill me?
