Are there any benefits to blowing everything up?

I'm noticing that the environment is heavily destructible. Is there any benefit for me to blowing everything up? **(beside looting gold)**


Does destroying everything give experience?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Are there any benefits to blowing everything up? Do wrecking everything in the enemy base give any amount of exp. aside the bonus you get when you smash more than 6 items in a short time? Or did I just destroyed every barrel in every dungeon... for NOTHING? ...Well at least I must be the king of barrel destroyers. You never know when the barrels might revolt.


How long before you can replay a random event?

Finding the hidden Red Arrow thug in Deus Ex

Deus Ex Wiki says about the Wan Chai Market level: > If the player noclips into the scenery above the police station, they may > find a Red Arrow thug stuck in a T-Pose. If removed from the T-Pose, he will > speak to the player in dialogue cut from the final game. I could find a closed and unused room above the police station, but that room is totally empty. It has only some pillars with their shadow, but nothing that I can use. How can I make the mentioned guy appear? (map patch didn't help on it) EDIT: I'm not talking about "Max Chen on the roof", it must be something else.


Why is the Atomic Blimp not showing up?

When you download the Atomic Blimp DLC, a blimp icon appears at the Vinewood Racetrack and a new contact is added to your phone, "Blimp". I know I can get to the Blimp by simply accessing the racetrack. The problem is whenever I try calling the "Blimp" contact, a woman answers and says **_exactly this_** : > "I'll send one out to you right away". No matter how long I wait, the blimp never shows up! I have tried this dozens of times in multiple areas and the blimp icon never moves. Out of rage, I then take my anger out on nearby citizens: ![](https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/7802375680/h23ABC175/) Anyway, What am I doing wrong? * * * _**EDIT:_** The problems addressed in this question have been fixed with the recent patch.


Is there any preferable time to play through the season pass missions?

I'm just past the end of Act One, and my phone is offering the various DLC missions as well as the next story mission. Is there any advantage in holding off on completing them vs rushing to do them as fast as possible? For example, are the DLC missions' rewards likely to make story missions easier, or vice versa? Or maybe the difficulty varies?

How to kill Zurvan in the HotS campaign on Brutal?

I have been playing the game on brutal and got the basic skills,how ever I am having trouble with Zurvan. I saw the movie by Joltzblc and parazx already, but I believe there is some trick to the fight that I have missed. At some point I get too many monsters spawning too quickly and can't manage to do any damage to Zurvan, and then it is just a question of time before I die. How do I beat Zurvan on brutal?

Origins of the base names?

There are a lot of bases in Planetside, and while most of them are pretty self explanatory (Quartz Ridge Camp, Abandoned Mineshaft, etc) the major ones are all named things like Zurvan Amp Station and so forth. A few of the Esamir names are familiar to me (Ymir, Freyr) but a lot of them I don't recognize (Elli, Mani, Eisa, Nott, etc). This question has nothing to do with gameplay, but I'm still very curious to know where these names came from.


How are aliens affected by darkness in OpenXCom

During night missions, the range in which aliens can be spotted depends on the light conditions of the tile they are standing on. Does the illumination around my soldiers also allow the aliens to spot them, making the night penalty effectively not applicable to them? What about other light sources like fire, EM flares or light sources which occur on the map? Should I avoid placing soldiers near them or do they have no effect on the ability of aliens to spot my soldiers?


What are the alien base building mechanics in OpenXCom

The flavor text of the "Alien Base" mission mentions that in order to build a base, aliens need to successfully complete several landings in the area. I noticed this behavior in the game: Various UFOs of different sizes simultaneously appear in the same area, and when left alone a new alien base can be found there shortly after. But when some of the UFOs are shot down, no base will be found. Which ships exactly appear as part of a base building operation and what needs to be done to prevent the base from being built? Do I need to shoot them all down, or are only specific UFOs critical for the base building process? Do I need to shoot them down before they land or can I raid the landed UFOs? When I shoot them down, do I need to clear the crash sites?


How exactly does Weaver's Geminate Attack work?

How do I collect Spell Cards?

I'm currently attempting to play _Touhou: the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil_. I've figured out that my own Spell Cards are what I use for my bombs, but when I go to `Score` in the menu, I see that there is an entry for `Spell Cards`. Clicking on that, there are 64 entries, some of which I've acquired, so I'm assuming this is a collection of some sort. The problem is I don't really know _how_ I collected them and what exactly the numbers next to them mean. For example, next to `No. 02 Night Sign "Night Bird"`, I have `1/2` while for `No. 03 Darkness Sign "Demarcation"` I have 2/2. I assume this means that for No. 02, I have 1 out of the 2 "cards" available to collect and for No. 03, I've collected all the cards available to collect. How do I know which I have and which I don't? _How_ do I collect these things in the first place? I've noticed them pop up during the boss fights, but **what are the specific criteria I need to meet in order to successfully collect them**? Edit: And now I've just noticed after doing some more (failed) playthroughs that these numbers are... increasing? The numbers for the cards I listed are now 3/4 and 4/4, respectively. I thought the last number was increasing with my playthrough attempts, but I've got some at 3 and some at 5 when I've currently tried 4 times, so I'm not sure if this is correct.


Easter Eggs in Portal/Portal 2

Automated tree-farm in Minecraft?

I've seen a few videoes where people create near (or completely) automated tree farms in Minecraft, so I thought I'd give it a go. I'm playing 1.7.3 beta SMP though, no mods (at least none that alter game behavior.) One of the things I saw one guy had made was something that automated planting a tree, and then automated applying a bonemeal, before finally he automated flooding the area with water to destroy the tree and gather the trunk items. One thing at a time. My question is thus this:   * Is it possible to automate the "plant a sapling" part? I tried the following:   1. I set out a dispenser, pointed towards a block of dirt, but at the same level as the dirt-block. In other words, the "hole" in the dispenser was not visible, and led directly into the dirt-block   2. I set out the dispenser, pointing towards the dirt-block, but one level above the dirt-block In both cases, when powered, a sapling item was dropped on top of the dirt- block. I assume that when the dispenser "submerged" at the same level as the dirt-block dispensed a sapling, it floated to the top due to the same rules that makes item float to the top of newly placed blocks. So, is this part even possible without a mod?


Building list for capital city

As the title says. Is there any list of buildings available to build in the capital city? Everything included decorations, random chest drops, workshops etc.


Will using Slow negatively affect my score?

While playing _Touhou: the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil_ , I noticed in the summary statistics of a play that the game keeps track of your overall `Slow` percentage. I've found that using `Slow` definitely helps me with fine tuning my movement when fighting bosses, so I'm trying to force myself to use it more often to help me get through tough battles (my tendency to forget to use my bombs is another matter entirely). However, is this detrimental to how the game calculates my score? Is using `Slow` a bad habit to form?

How (and when) do I run Fallout: New Vegas' DLC?

I already finished the game a few months ago but would like to play the DLC now. It looks like they are not run separately from some menu but rather loaded alongside the main game and add some locations, quests and characters - is that correct? Do I need my old saves to play the DLC? Can I play the DLC after the main quest or do I need to play them from some save game before the main quest is finished? And most importantly - how do I start the DLC adventure? Will I have an automatic entry in Pip-Boy or what?

Skyrim exits when I try load a save game, How can I fix this?

Today when I tried to play the game, as soon as I clicked the Continue button, it said something along the lines of 'This save game relies on content that is no longer available. Some objects may not be available. Load anyway?' I have had this before, and it still works, but this time, the game exited. I tried again, loading another save, and the same happened. I recently uninstalled an apparell replacer, could this be the problem? I have tried using TES5Edit and I sorted out the load order, but the same happens. Please help. Edit: I have tried **_EVERY_** single solution I have found, even re- installing the game. No success.   1. Deleting SkyrimPrefs.ini   2. Made sure all masters have loaded.   3. Re-installing the game I missed out one because it DEFINITELY wasn't the problem, and another because I didn't understand it. Ah, found this: Skyrim Save Game Scanner I analysed my most recent save, and in the plugins part it came up with this:               Form version: 74     Plugin info size: 298     [Plugin] Count: 14     [Plugin 001] Name: Skyrim.esm     [Plugin 002] Name: Update.esm     [Plugin 003] Name: Dawnguard.esm     [Plugin 004] Name: Dragonborn.esm     [Plugin 005] Name: HearthFires.esm     [Plugin 006] Name: Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp     [Plugin 007] Name: ShowRaceMenuAlternative.esp     [Plugin 008] Name: Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.esp     [Plugin 009] Name: Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp     [Plugin 010] Name: SkyUI.esp     [Plugin 011] Name: Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.esp     [Plugin 012] Name: zzLSAR_Clothes.esp     [Plugin 013] Name: zzLSAR_ArmorL.esp     [Plugin 014] Name: zzLSAR_ArmorH.esp      However, my nexus client has these mods:               Skyrim.esm     Update.esm     Dawnguard.esm     Dragonborn.esm     HearthFires.esm     Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp     Unofficial HearthFire Patch.esp     Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.esp     Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp     ShowRaceMenuAlternative.esp     Dorn Heven.esp     WhiterunAlivePiano.esp     SkyUI.esp      So that means, the mods my save requires is:               zzLSAR_Clothes.esp     zzLSAR_ArmorL.esp     zzLSAR_ArmorH.esp      Which is my apparel replacer. EDIT: Ok, so I tried installing the mod again, but it seems to be something else. I will try disabling all the other mods I installed since it stopped working. I just tried starting a new game, I click New, then yes, the bethesda symbol dissapears, but I am stuck at the bit with the skyrim logo and mist. It crashes straight after I click 'yes' on the bit where it says 'This save game relies on content that is no longer available. Some objects may not be available. Load anyway?' No loading screen at all, just an instant CTD. I have just found a solution to another problem which I think might work on mine - When you delete local content on steam, it doesn't delete unrecognised files, so I will delete local content and then delete anything left over manually. I will post this as an answer if it works.

What's the difference between the English client versions?

When I go to download the Diablo III game client from Battle.net, I have a choice between three different clients if I intend to play in English: English (US), English (EU), and English (SG).   * I know that it's not determining which servers I can access, because there's a "Global Play" concept, which means everyone can play on whichever server they want.   * I know the client is not used to determine the "home" region either, because the "Global Play" page also says that: > players will create characters and play in their "home" region, which is > determined by where they live (specifically, _the country of residence > registered to their Battle.net account_ ) So, what **is** the difference between the clients? Which should I install?


StarCraft editor won't load any Blizzard maps

I restart my computer and then start up SC2 map editor. I go to open a map and log in to Battle.net.   * When I select file type "All Editor Maps" and source as "Blizzard", nothing shows up (it says "Results: 0" near the bottom of the window.)   * If I select "Featured" as the source, then some maps show up. Has anyone else been unable to load official Blizzard maps before? This happened to me once before, but a reboot fixed it last time.

Why is the Avian airship hostile?

I've found two different airships now, one after a bit of exploration and the other right behind my starting point (with different characters). I've looked around and apparently you're supposed to be able to buy items from a quartermaster in the airship, including guns (which I've only found one example of in 40+ hours of play). My problem here is that the pirates onboard immediately turn hostile once I've gotten inside, after making my way up at the anchoring point. While this is reasonable (pirates being hostile), I become frustrated with the fact that all sources of info on these airships indicate that I'm supposed to be able to talk to them.


In a fight why do I instantly lose

When I challenge someone to a fight in NHL 13 (Be A Pro), sometimes I instantly get taken to the ground. Is this because I have fought to many times in the game?

Screen tearing in minecraft (ftb pax 2014)

I decided to play feed the beast for the first time in ages and I encountered a rather irritating issue. Every ~10-20 seconds my screen flashes with the jagged edges and artifacts that you usually see when you should have vertical sync on but don't. I've tried reinstalling ftb, java, my graphics card drivers, and minecraft to no avail. I've also tried increasing/decreasing the memory allocated (I went from 1Gb to 6Gb) with no change. My system should be more than enough to handle this game on a visual level. I'd understand some stutters when loading chunks or new worlds but this is ridiculous. Is it my computer or minecraft causing this? If it's on minecraft's side then what can I do that I haven't to fix it? Here are my specs:               CPU - AMD FX-8150 @ 4.2 Ghz     GPU - 2Gb Sapphire R9-280x     RAM - 8Gb Corsair Vengeance


Will tactical defending be optional?

In FIFA 12 a new control system is included for defense, called **_tactical defending_**. It makes the constant pressing that was used a lot in FIFA 11 impossible by the fact that you now only _shield_ the opponent player by holding the button, but don't rush into him. The actual tackle has to be done manually. Also the second defender you can call now won't directly attack the ball carrier, but also just shields him and covers up additional passing routes. This makes constant pressure play a lot harder and less automatic, which I think is a good thing, **but** tactical defending is only optional and can be turned back to the old mode in the control settings. I would imagine that playing with the old mode against the new mode gives you an advantage in defending, because you still can put on constant pressure play without much manual effort. ### So my question is: Is there any information how this issue is going to be addressed in online play? Will online leagues restrict this in any way? Or is it just for everyone to pick? I'm asking because I want to specialize in one of the defending modes (possibly the best), and therefore it will be good to know if the new tactical defending will be mandatory in online mode.

Why are digital games more expensive than the shops?

I was about to buy StarCraft 2 in a digital version when I noticed it's about €15 more expensive than my local stores which are selling retail copies (€59.99 vs €44.99). These are Irish prices. This is something I've seen several times over for PC games in the last year. Digital copy's cost far less to produce I'm sure as packing and distribution or none-existent once the IT expenditure for the online platform is establish. Why is there such a price difference?

How to use Javelin missile against players in multiplayer?

While playing multiplayer in _CoD:MW3_ , I noticed players using Javelin at the very beginning of the match (on the map Bakaara) to get early kills. However, when I tried this, I couldn't get lock on anything. I know how to use this weapon on aircraft (aim, wait, fire), but I have no idea how to use it against infantry. I found a YouTube video where a guy does it, but seems like he is aiming nowhere and still, somehow, manages to get a solid lock on a player. What's the trick? How do you use Javelin missile against other players? In another video it is even more confusing because he aimed underground (I believe map is called Undertown), fired missile up in the air and got Javelin kills.

Losing Experience In Killing Floor

I just started playing Killing Floor on my Desktop, then I moved over to playing it on my laptop. I was pretty happy to see that my progress was transfered over automatically to my laptop when I installed it via Steam. The problem is that it doesn't seem like I'm ever gaining any experience. For example in one game I was playing online and gained level 3 Medic. At the end of the game, I left the server and joined a new one to find I was only level 2 Medic. I noticed the same thing happening when I was playing a Solo game. What's going on here? Edit: So far I've tried:   * Verifying the game cache files in Steam.   * When that didn't work, I tried reinstalling the game.   * There are no mutators on, and I'm playing on KF-Manor, KF-WestLondon, KF-Farm   * I've tried multiple servers online, and solo games.   * The Desktop was running Windows, my laptop is running OSX. Edit 2: I just noticed that at the end of one solo game my stats have improved, but by the time the next map loads they have reset. This is the same for multiplayer games.


When will enemies be able to combo break a chained takedown?

Ever since I got the chained takedown skill, I've been using it almost exclusively for close-quarters stealth combat. I can't always get it to work reliably, though. There are times when I'll be able to whirlwind through a room destroying everyone, and there are times when the second or third guard I try to chain will be able to knock out my combo. I think it has something to do with alertness, but I've definitely gotten the "ding!" alert noise before and still been able to chain the takedown of that guard. **What determines whether a chained takedown will work on an enemy?**


Where are the 31 secret keys?

In Tales from the Minus Lab, where are the 31 secret keys? I'm able to get four, but I am missing the others. Here are the keys I already have:   * one in the water place in the hamster cage,   * one inside a yellow boot,   * one at the root of the tree, below the floor,   * one in the box lying on the floor, near the tree. Since there are checkpoints but no save system, I cannot manage to find all the keys.


discrepancy in total time vs time as RU/US

My stats show that I've got total of 228h 34m spent in BF3. However awards progress stats show, that for US service medal I'm at 88h 20m, and RU service medal at 89h 59m. That's 178h 19m total progress towards both service medals. Where did the remaining 50 hours go?


Why do I suck at combat?

I've been playing Fable III for a while now, up to a point where I purchased level 3 upgrades to my battle skills. For some reason, I seem to be totally miserable in combat. I open each battle with ranged attacks on the closest enemies, blast them with a spell as they get closer and then try to finish them off with some swordplay. However, they quickly gang up on me from all directions and kill me dead. I try to use spells to stun them, but not all enemies inside the blast radius are affected. I try to parry, but that doesn't help against the guys who are rear-ending me. I've barely started the game and have already kicked the bucket four times. Even my own weapons are mocking me by turning to bone because of my "fragility in combat". The previous game of the series I've played was the original Fable, which I completed twice and I don't remember coming even close to dying even once. What could I be doing wrong? Or is dying at this pace normal?


Speeding Up Steves Carts 2 Assembly Time

I am running a creative world just to test a few things for survival in tekkit. I am messing around with steves carts 2 mod and I don't really want to be waiting 8 hours for a cart to be build, especially considering it is a single player world. Is there any way I can speed up the cart assembly process?


Multi story houses in terraria

Poor Battlefield 3 performance

I have an i5 3.4ghz dual core CPU, a Geforce 650 GTX 1gb, and 4gb of ram, Windows Vista, and I am running on a solid state drive. On multiplayer I am running the game on med/low at 720p with no AA and 4xAF and my performance is great until the explosions start going off. I will get 30+fps on Gulf of Oman when flying over the water, but ~15fps when I am in the city. Games like CS:GO or TF2 run lighting fast on all max with AA and AF. I expected better from BF3. I know it a resource hog, but I should be able to get a fast framerate at low settings. Is this a known thing? Does the game chug at times for everybody, or do I need an even beefier desktop?


How can I organize a tournament?

I am a gaming fan -- mostly StarCraft 2. I don't play the game much, but I love watching the broadcasts on Twitch.tv. I've been wondering how one can organize a tournament so your favorite players get to play each other?


What does it mean if a monster is "vulnerable"?

Pretty frequently I'll be fighting an enemy and alongside all of the damage numbers that come flying up, I'll see the word "Vulnerable" popup above the enemy hitbox briefly. What does this convey? Is this a term for staggering an enemy with your attacks? Is it a specific condition like poison? If it matters, I've been playing almost exclusively in the Finesse tree, using Faeblades and Daggers (whatever I find a better one of at the time), with a heavy investment into the passive skill that allows me a chance to poison my targets.


Where did this guy's face go?

I'm having a bit of trouble in certain areas with NPC's faces disappearing in Skyrim on PC. It's very odd because their skin and eyes are no where to be found but their facial hair stays intact. It's a very troubling problem, as you can see: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/FnIze.jpg) Yup, he's definitely seen better days. Is anyone else experiencing this odd glitch? Any suggestions to fix this issue? **Update:** It's become an epidemic! Now no one has a face. Please help! ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YT4ck.jpg)


Can I transfer my Terraria character from one PC to another?

Attack coastal provinces with ships?

I've just started my first game as the Ottomans, and my 10 regiment army is taking a long time to conquer Albania, so I sent some Light Ships, Galleys and Cogs over to help. They are in the sea next to the province, but I can't figure out how to have them support the siege or attack the one enemy ship present. I selected the Light Ships and clicked the Detach Blockade button, but that didn't seem to change anything. The image of the city on the siege popup shows it's a port city if that matters.


Under New Management - How do I get the One with the Shadows achievement?

Permanent pet spider: Pros and cons

I have caught a giant web fish. It allows me to permanently turn my pet into a pet spider. Do I lose anything by doing this except the cuddly looks of my companion? What are the benefits of having a permanent pet spider? (Does it then keep those benefits if i feed it other fish to turn it into other creatures temporarily?) Is there any advantage to turning your pet permanently into a spider if you have piles of web fish to keep turning it into a spider temporarily?

Levelling in FIFA 12

In FIFA 12 you are awarded XP and rise through experience levels. Are the experience levels actually used for anything, e.g. unlocking features? If so, is there a list somewhere of what gets unlocked at each level?


Are different characters suited to different weapons?

In final fantasy 12, It's not overly clear if a character has a 'best weapon' as damage for weapons can vary and other factors like speed of weapon come into play also. I kept Fran with her bow since she joined my party, but have switched Balthier to ninja swords and Ashe to Spears , amongst other things. I notice that at the same level and equipment, characters can be more or less effective at a weapon than others. So my question is, which character-weapon combinations are strongest/most suitable?


How do you short stocks in GTA5?

One of the most interesting elements in GTA5 is the stock market. I understand that often **Lester** will have assassination missions for the player, such as the one involving the LifeInvader CEO, and was wondering how I could profit off missions such as these? For example, LifeInvader's stock took quite a hit following the mission, and I was wondering how I could short sell its stock to make a profit?


Effect of recent casts on opponents playstyle

I've noticed a correlation between my opponents play-style and the set of casts (VODs) recently released. It seems the more popular the caster, the more likely I'm going to face whatever strategy they're show-casing or recommending. A good example of this is when Day9 released a 'Refining a build order' cast that showed how to do 1 reaper FE - it seems like I faced this build against at least 50% of my Terran opponents for the week or so after it was released. **I'm wondering first if any of you have also noticed this coorelation, and second whether anyone wants to prove or disprove it.** I know that most people are attracted to this site because they are both programmers and Starcraft players, and I believe all the necessary data is available, we can see what builds people are using (both from battle.net and the advanced replay sites), and we know what the casters are sticking out there. I realize this information wouldn't be useful to you Master leaguers' as most of you aren't getting your builds from the casting sites, but for those of us playing Bronze-Plat I'm wondering if we could improve our results by planning our builds to counter what is being seen in recent casts. Thanks!


Which patches and mods should I install before playing Fallout 1?

I want to revisit Fallout 1, because I've never finished it. Time has passed and I'm on Windows 7 x64. I know the site _No Mutants Allowed_ , however there's so much content there that I just feel utterly lost. Which patches (official or community) and mods should I install in order to improve how this game runs on Windows 7 on a modern machine and also fix the old bugs, etc.? Although I am looking for general answers, I actually already own the whole Fallout collection (F1, F2, FT) localized in my native language and would prefer to use that instead of having to buy the games again.

Bipod does not work at all anymore

In BF3 on PC I remember using bipods early on, but since about december/januari they simply don't work at all anymore. The animation is not there and neither is the effect (I'm spraying all over the place with the machine guns). I tried switching on and off the bipods on all kinds of guns. None work. I tried picking up a kit from someone I saw using a bipod... nothing. I know I need a flat surface, but even when I'm flat on the ground. Is there a setting that could cause this? A bug? Do I need to reinstall BF3 completely?


Is there any Revolver / Sniper Build for Borderland's Siren?

I am currently playing a Siren in borderlands, and i was wondering, if there is any "drawback" of playing it as a Sniper / Revolver character ? I am a fan of Sniper rifles and Revolvers, but i already have one Mordecai in my "party" (co-op). After looking for a while, i could not find anything that makes Siren better with a SMG than the other characters, so teorically, i could make it use any weapon without further losses, right ? I Know i should avoid these sort of question here, but, which is the "Best" Build for her ? I mean, is there any tree that is really better than the others ? Here is the build calculator for her : Calculator Thanks in advance :D


How can I pin murder on Eli, the pedophile?

I'm playing "The Golden Butterfly", the second mission in L.A. Noire's Homicide chapter. Diedre Moller has been murdered. There are two suspects in the case, her husband, Hugo, and a pedophile, Eli. I've found all 12 clues in the case, and I'm back at Central where I have the opportunity to interrogate both suspects. I've gotten all four speech successes out of Eli, and he really doesn't seem guilty (of murder). He has a plausible explanation for how he got the brooch, and the coveralls in the trunk are stitched with Hugo's initials. Yet, whenever I accuse Hugo of murder, the captain gets upset with me. I looked up a walkthrough and discovered that I'm supposed to accuse Eli of the murder. **What evidence proves that Eli, rather than Hugo, is guilty?**

How can I get the Top Tier Energy Weapons without the Van Graffs?

So, I completed Heartache By The Number in a peaceful way and got attacked by the Van Graff thugs, as you're pretty much supposed to be, outside the Atomic Wrangler while turning in the Debt Collector quest. Now, I had been trying to wait to turn in the Heartache by the Number quest because I wanted to get the higher tier Energy Weaps (the 20k-ish ones) from them and now they're permanently hostile. The question is, is there any one way to get the top-tier energy weapons that doesn't involve them? Keep in mind, I'm on the PS3 so I can't just make them neutral with me again to fix the hostility issues.


How to prevent slimes from spawning in certain areas

I am building a slime farm and I am thinking of ways to stop slimes from spawning at certain areas. Basically above each spawning level I have a 2-block high are where I do my lighting. It looks like this: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KSGzm.png) To be clear I am not standing on the roof of the spawning area. There are a lot of spots where slimes can easily spawn, and I do not want them spawning there.


What are the red buoys for?

So on the Shipwreck Coast map zone I've found two of these buoys and I've no idea what they are for. You can pull them with rope arrows and kick them with `F`. I assumed at first that you needed to move them around to allow you to jump up to some ledges, but I don't see anything obvious. Are they for anything other than environment flavour? ![Red buoy wrapped in rope](http://i.stack.imgur.com/aJNnn.jpg)


How do you capture a behemoth?

Can local nations leave the council due to panic?

I'm playing Classic Ironman difficulty on my iPhone. My XCOM base is in Germany. Russia's panic reached 5 and I was unable to deploy a satellite before the Council Report came in. I was then shocked to see that Russia did not leave the XCOM program. This has left me with two possible theories:   1. Local nations are "in it to win it" and will not secede despite maximum panic levels.   2. There is some (small) chance that nations with maximum panic will not secede when the council gives their report. I am forced to assume that local nations will still immediately secede if a terror mission is ignored (not too keen on testing that out). And perhaps neither of the above theories are correct. Has anyone else witnessed a nation with 5 panic staying with the program? If local nations will not secede, it would seem it is safe to ignore them until all other satellites are placed... but that seems too easy. But that's my question: **Is it possible for local nations to secede from the XCOM project during council reports?**


Zerg scouting vs Terran Wall off?

I was wondering if anyone can help me with my Zerg scouting especially against a Terran Wall-off? So I drone with my 12th drone and I almost ALWAYS get blocked with a Rax with 2 supply depots as they're being built. Even if I get lucky and kill the SCV building it. It doesn't help. Almost all the guides I read on zerg scout DEPEND on seeing the terran's gas. That essential factor is blocked from me.... What can I do? Sacrifice the overlord at about 4:30-5:00 ? ... I can only pray that the marines aren't patrolling the borders(Which they have done before). Thanks.

How can I make a house without so many materials? They want me to make the EXACT house (no smaller no larger) and mining is a thing that I can't get to.


How do I cover my IndustrialCraft cables with Construction Foam?

I've been playing a bit of Tekkit recently, and while looking up stuff on the IC wiki, I came across this paragraph here: > As of 1.70, CF [Construction Foam] can cover & harden around a placed cable, > creating a block that functions as a cable but looks like a CF wall. Would I like to cover up my ugly cabling with CF? Yes, please. This would also be great for patching up the weak spot in my nuclear reactor containment thing (output cable). How do I actually do that, though? Placing CF on a cable doesn't work -- it just places the CF like a normal block when I click on the cable (i.e., next to it, not covering it).


How should one weight elemental damage compared to other damage stats?

Question about the Grin Reaper Mask

I recently got my hands on one of these from Kedala. Here is the link to the mask: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/the-grin-reaper It's a cool mask. But does the mimics actually do any damage at all? Firebats seem to proc them pretty often so they are always there, but what is their own proc rate of casting a spell? I've seen them cast Firebats, Zombie bears. But their proc rate of casting spell seems variable, they seem to cast Firebats all the time, but cast Zombie Bears once in a while, Grasp of the Dead very very rarely and never cast Piranha. Which spells benefit most from these mimics, could anyone knowledgeable shed some light into it? Another question; right now I'm using Firebats as my main damage spell. I've got 13% Firebats damage rolled on the mask, is getting a 6% CHC worth more than this one DPS wise?

"Cannot Resolve Hostname" when using Subdomain

A group of friends wanted a Minecraft server to play together on, so I went ahead and deployed a VPS, and directed an A record titled `play` to the server's public IP address. I connected to the server via SSH using `play.coffeehousecode.com` as the hostname, and didn't encounter anything out of the ordinary, so I started a Minecraft Server instance, and the logs showed no problems to report. However, when trying to connect to the server using the Minecraft client, I receive an error stating that the Hostname couldn't be Resolved. I checked my DNS records to make sure everything checks out, and SSH-ed into the server again without a problem. When connecting to the server using it's public IP address, however, I can connect and play without a problem. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?


Half-Life 2 (plus episodes) have a tendency of crashing my computer

I've recently started plowing through HL2 and the episodic content (currently starting out on Ep 2), and have noticed a weird problem. It seems that after an undetermined amount of time, my computer will crash. My computer is a notebook with an Nvidia dedicated graphics chip...its good enough to run HL2 and Fallout 3 (but as I'm away from it now, I don't have the specs handy). I can combat this crashing issue by periodically alt+tabbing to my desktop and letting my computer relax for a bit. On another note, my fans are completely clear when I play...airflow should not be a problem IMO. On another another note, I have absolutely zero problems playing TF2 or CSS....TF2 will lag for me slightly if there is too much going on at once (i.e. 32 player mayhem), but no crashing. Any thoughts?


What's the point of the character code?

Whats the point of having to put in both the character name and the character code of the user your trying add as a friend? I don't really understand their thinking, it just sends a request anyways doesn't it? I can see how it would cut down on spam requests, (those people that try to add everyone they play with as a friend) but it just seems inconvenient. And now I wonder if its a bad thing just posting character code with my character name for people to add me.

How does Silence work in the Sneak tree?

I've leveled up my Sneak skill to 100 and attained Silence and assumed I would have little difficulty sneaking around unseen. However I can't tell any difference in the enemy detection rate and I still have gotten caught while trying to move away from a human enemy. I've also seem to observed that beasts have a higher detection rate as well as Dragons. I am asking this from a Lv.27 character with (100)Sneak, (5/5)Stealth and Silence.


Do Skill Tree skills stack?

Example:   1. Sharpshooter (Aced) - 25% Decrease to assault weapon recoil   2. Leadership (Aced) - 50% Decrease to all weapon recoil   3. The Professional - 50% Decrease recoil to all silent weapons So does leadership affect only unsilenced weapons, and or do all of these stack? All of these are from different skill trees. Another example:   1. The Professional (Aced) - 50% increase in accuracy, 2x iron sights   2. Rifleman - 2x multiplier to assault rifle zoom Would these stack as well?


N.O.V.A. 2 can not get out from the portal in the last level

Sapphire - Is there anything else?

I'm talking with Sapphire in the thieves guild, and the only thing I can do is ask her about her name. Then she tells me the sad story about how she was kidnapped.

What are Ambitions?

I've noticed that there are a few Storylets that start Ambitions. Their descriptions say that Ambitions are major storylines with huge rewards and that they're hard to change after you start them. I assume this means that you can only follow one Ambition at a time? Can you do more Ambitions afterwards? Approximately how long do they usually take? Can you complete an Ambition without leveling up a lot or progressing in other places, or do they take a long time?

How do I deal with an disloyal cabinet?

I got hooked on Democracy 3 today and have developed a quite successful country during my short reign, but for some reason my ministers seem to be working against me. Lately their loyalty seems to drop rapidly whatever I do. This is in turn limiting my political capital and prevents me from pushing through some major changes in the country. So I regularly have to fire some of them and replace them with loyal candidates, but this is not a viable long-term solution. It seems to me that the firing of ministers leads to a drop in the loyalty of all the others, which keeps me stuck in a vicious circle. I could of course fire them all, but I don't think I have enough good candidates and I would lose all of their experience.   * Does firing a minister really lead to lower loyalty with the others?   * What can I do to raise the loyalty of my existing ministers?

Is there a good strategy, or layout, for optimizing watering and harvesting your crops in Harvest Moon GBC? I used to seed in separate 3x3 squares, cutting out a tile in one of the sides, so I could water the whole thing in just two uses of the sprinkler. But then I got the golden sickle and golden hoe and that makes it very difficult to create this pattern, given their properties. Is there any way I can use the golden tools to my advantage, saving time and effort to care for my crops?


Where can I find the key to the top roof of the College of Winterhold?

Where can I find the key to the top floor (roof) of the College of Winterhold? My game has glitched and Mirabelle Ervine seems to be up there. I think it was due to a dragon landing in the court yard directly after I got the mission.


What option in Skyrim did I set that caused my books and book text to look small?

Currently, my books and text look like this: ![](http://i.imgur.com/fkbpk.jpg) (Image was resampled from 1440 x 900 resolution) As you can see, the book and text size is very small in proportion to the rest of the screen. These books and the text within the books used to fill up the entire screen, but now the font is so small that it makes reading them a strain on my eyes. I know I've been fiddling around with the ini files a bit and I've installed several mods, but I got no idea what mod would cause books HARDER to read. Additionally, even if I were to swap out the ini files for clean copies, that still won't explain what's causing these books to display like this. Anyone have any idea what option I ended up tweaking that might have caused this?


Will this Instant Repeater design work reliably?

I'm currently looking into the mechanism of redstone in minecraft. For one circuit, I need an instant repeater, and reading Minecraft wiki, the smallest one so far is the 4x5x3 instant repeater by sethbling. Experimenting a bit, I found the attached circuit to repeat instantly as well (both noteboxes activate at the same time, at least more synced compared to a one tick delay introduced by a repeater). ![My Instant Repeater](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NSjc5.jpg) Is there any fault with this circuit? I am suprised that I couldn't find this solution googling for instant repeaters as its even more compact (3x3x2).


Is there a limit to adding hero names, and could adding/removing the names often break the game?

For those who don't know if you go to _Rogue Legacy>Content_ you can find two files that allow you to change the names of heroes and heroines you get to play with. Now i know there is a limit to the amount of characters that can be used in the name (8), but is there a limit to the amount of names you can add to the list? Also can changing (both adding and removing of the names) that file often break the game in any way? Or is it completely safe to change the file as much as you want, whenever you want.


How do I restart a game at a New-U and not a fast travel station?

Why do I spawn at a fast travel station when I start a saved game instead of the nearest New-U? Is it supposed to be this way or is it bugged? Seriously, I think it's the worst saving system ever since I have to run all the way back to where I was and fight all monsters in the way again. Yes big bosses are dead but anyway... it's quite a pain.


How high is the damage reduction from gunzerking with the skill come at me bro?

In the Brawn skill tree from Salvador (Gunzerker) there is a skill called "Come At Me Bro" that has the following description: > Action Skill Augment. While Gunzerking, taunt your enemies and instantly > gain Full Health. Taunted enemies are more likely to attack you, but for the > next few seconds you gain massive damage reduction. NEXT LEVEL: "Nigh > Invulnerability is a hell of a drug." Now I am interested how high the damage reduction is (though the red text says "Nigh Invulnerability" I assume that it will be very high) and how long it does stay active.


How does cs go rank system work

I played the first 10 competitive and got ranked to silver 1. And, when I won my 20 competitive match my rank didn't change, why is that? I don't understand how the rank system in the game works.


Are polypropylene pages safe to store DS and 3DS games?

I read, once upon a time, that plastic pages can create static that destroys the information stored on game cartridges. I am trying to find a storage solution for my games, and the binder I found that fits has polypropylene pages. Will these be safe for game cartridge storage? If it helps, this is the binder.


Multi-Toxin Bombs

So I've gotten the hang of creating standard bombs in SS13 with superheated plasma and (chilled) oxygen. I can make them fairly reliably with a variety of different triggers. But there are all these _other_ gases stored in the toxins closet, particularly those black NO2 canisters, going completely unused, and I feel like they could be put to good use. Is there anything I can do with the other gases in Toxins storage to alter/improve my bombs? Or are they just dead space?


How do I get my shield to shut up?

From a side-quest I have gained a shield that talks. Pretty amusing at first, but now his chatter is very annoying. Is there a way to make it stop without affecting any other game audio, and without getting rid of it?


Where do I get the White Crystal key?

Based on the talk of certain characters in the pub I've figured out that I need a key to open the crystal doors. Up until now I haven't been that worried about it, assuming I'd stumble across the key eventually. However I got a quest to open one of the doors so I'm assuming the key is either somewhere on the third stratum (which I just unlocked) or in the second stratum and I missed it. Where can I find the White Crystal key?


Can I remove some of the guard dialogue?

For me and many others Skyrim is about immersion, and one of the things breaking that immersion are the idle chat from guards and other passing by NPCs. What I'm talking about are comments such as > Psst. Hey, I know who you are. Hail Sithis! How did they know I was a part of this secret organization? > Hey! You're the one who killed Alain Dufont, up in Raldbthar. Oh yeah, word > about that got around. Man was a piece of bandit trash, is what I hear. No-one saw me go in or out, and Alain was the only one to die there. You get the idea, hopefully. **I want these types of comments removed from the game.** No random NPC half way across Skyrim should ever be able to tell something I've done in secret. Mods are an option.


Revealing the unseen - Focus the oculory - Why can't I focus the focus crystal?

I'm on the quest **_Revealing the unseen_** , objective **_Focus the oculory_**. The guy in the room tells me the crystal now needs to be "focused" using cold and heat spells. I have moved the lenses in the roof around using the oculory controls so that they are each positioned pretty close to a light beam. I also found the tomes of _flames_ and _frostbite_ laying on a table near said oculory controls. The problem is that after probably an hour of screwing around, I have come to the conclusion that NOTHING in this room responds in any way to either of the spells. I have literally scorched and frozen every reachable centimetre of this room, especially the lenses and focus crystal, and the light beams aren't even slightly moving. **EDIT TO ADD TO THE ABOVE** : I have also tried blasting all of the lenses with fire-then-ice, ice-then-fire, both at the same time, and all of the above in various combinations and durations. No effect what so ever. In addition I have both left the area and returned and restarted the game. Has the quest bugged up terribly with me or is there something I haven't thought of? * * * **STATUS UPDATE:** This YouTube video shows how the objective is done. This does not work for me, so I assume that the mission is bugged. I'll mark the answer that helps me finish the objective as correct.


Where can I find the key to the door in Mzulft Aedrome?

I'm in Mzulft Aedrome and ran into this door, but apparently it requires a key. Can it be found inside the dungeon or did I miss a quest when I entered this place? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MnYfu.jpg)


What's the fastest way to lose 30,000 ships for "In The Midst Of A Cold, Dark Winter?"

I own AI War: Fleet Command, but I think I've only played through the tutorial twice. (It's a victim of my penchant for purchasing games that look interesting and are super cheap, but then end up on the eternal backlog pile) However, today one of the achievements is to lose 30,000 ships in the game. This doesn't seem hard, considering that losing ships in a game about war should be pretty straightforward, but I have no idea how to do this quickly. What's the minimal effort way to build and lose a whole bunch of ships? Are there any game modes or map types that make this go quicker?


Can I kill both Mick Zaford and Jimbo Hodunk in same playthrough?

Is there anyway to farm both Jimbo (for unique SMG) and Mick (for Maggie) in same play-through? The Clan you can kill will be based on decision made by you on railway station(Clan wars mission). After that you can farm the clan leader of the clan(which you killed in the last part of the quest). My question is can I farm both bosses Mick and Jimbo in same play-through ?


How do I find the hidden exhibit in Fire and Lice (Papa Sangre II)

There is an achievement "Expert Curator" where you should "Find the hidden exhibit in Papa Sangre's Museum of Memory" in the fourth level: "Fire and Lice". After going around the room several times, the only things I can hear apart from the ordinary exhibits and the Mindlice is some running footsteps when approaching the first exhibit and a watch ticking at the other side of the room. I have not been able to follow the footsteps, they disappear way too quickly. Papa Sangre II is a fantastic game btw. :)


How do I maximize my end-of-fight bonus?

When you get an enemy down to 0 health, you're given a brief opportunity to attack for bonus experience. Combos don't seem to activate in this bonus mode. However, when I slash as fast as I can, I don't always get the same amount of bonus experience. Is the bonus experience based on the number of attacks I complete? Is it based on the amount of damage I've dealt? Does technique make any difference, or is it all about speed and/or your attack attribute?


How do I get my units on a ship?

I have a caravel and a scout and I am trying to get the scout on the caravel so he can explore a land mass across the ocean. I can't seem to figure out how to get him in the ship. Is this not possible in Civ 5 since the scout can ride in his own boat? Do I have to wait for a better ship than a caravel like a frigate?


Skyrim will not launch?

I fired up Steam to launch Skyrim. Now when I press play from the splash screen it just disappears and then shows the splash screen again. How can I see what is going wrong? How can I fix it?


What do I do with the tomato blocks?

I found a red block that has a picture of a tomato on it. Normally, tomatoes fill my health meter, so I was kind of hoping that somehow I could get a tomato out of the block. I tried sucking it up, and nothing happened. I tried throwing it at someone, and nothing happened. I also tried burning it and cutting it (those were the two other moves available to me at the time) with no results. What do I do with this block? Am I ever going to get a yummy, juicy tomato out of it?


My car got punted into a shop. Can I still get back into it?

During an early mission in the game, you have to customize a car and get all dressed up. So I did. Dropped a not-insignificant amount of money making my ride topless and purple, as well as myself. Except, not so topless, but just as purple. As soon as I'm done, some brute comes along and uses my car as a bowling ball against me while I'm still in the shop. After the fighting's done, I go to get my car and the shop menus won't let me! The owner seems to want to keep my car while selling me more clothes... Is there a way to free my car? I don't seem to be able to nudge it, and there's no room to get another vehicle behind it. This won't be the first time I left a vehicle behind thanks to this, but it will be the most expensive one yet!


When fabricating class weapons, is the chance to receive all weapons equal?

For example, when crafting a Demoman Slot token + Secondary Slot token + a scrap, the possible output is:   * Sticky Jumper   * Scottish Resistance   * Chargin' Targe   * Splendid Screen Is the chance to get any one of those four items equal? Or do some other weapons have a higher chance?


How can I mitigate the damage I get from the poisonous flying insects in Caldeum

I am generally really strong against most enemies in Diablo III, but the flying insects in Caldeum that shoot those green poisonous things kill me really fast. What can I do to mitigate the damage I take? I'm playing on Normal difficulty with a Monk. I've seen high damage from these poison things from levels 13-17.


On average, how much gold will you make for a Hell/Inferno Whimsyshire run?

At 500,000 gold for the Hell staff—and reportedly 1,000,000 for the Inferno staff—it seems like this is an upgrade that needs to be thought through, so I was looking for solid data from people who have made a considerable number of Whimsyshire runs. Start to finish—and not counting Auction House sales of rare items—how much gold do you typically make doing a Whimsyshire run on either Hell or Inferno difficulty?


What determines the bonus you get as a returning Ultimate Team player in Madden 12?

After my first Ultimate Team game in Madden 12, I got a bonus for being a returning player:   * 1000 coins for the games I'd played in previous editions;   * 1000 coins for the games I'd played against the CPU;   * 1000 coins for the total value of my team. What determines the number of coins you get for each of these experience factors, and are there any others? (I assume there is a credit for games you've played against people.)


What are the most valuable stats on items?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  What factors should I use to price an item in the auction house? This question is really about how to value items bought and sold on the auction house. Obviously the answer will be subjective on a per player basis, but in the aggregate I expect there are certain stats that tend to make items sell for far more. I'm imagining it's something like: Most important:   * Primary stats (Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity) -- because they increase damage   * Vitality -- because everyone needs vitality   * Magic Find   * +Damage   * Has Sockets Lesser importance:   * Armor   * +Experience   * Etc. Nearly useless:   * Resistances   * Etc. Obviously not a complete list, but this is the type of answer I'm looking for.

How do I customise my suspension settings?

What is the Sequence in Drop7?

In Drop7's Sequence mode, what is the full sequence of discs that are dropped? Has this been documented by anyone? I've seen mentions that there definitely is a sequence to the numbers, but not exactly what it is. I'm assuming the person seen in the below video did figure out the sequence if they achieved a score of 5,000,000.


How to turn fake players off in PES 2012 Master League mode?

I've already managed to "unlock" well hidden option to actually have real players in Master League mode, but the fake (made up by Konami) players are still there and are even suggested when you for example go to the transfers. How to turn them off and leave only the real players, the authentic ones?


Flying helicopters in GTA IV using the keyboard

Short of buying a gamepad, what can I do to improve my control of helicopters using the keyboard in GTA IV - The Ballad of Gay Tony? I am stuck on a mission where I have to blow up a yacht and then chase and take out three moving boats. Whenever I press a key, the movement becomes too much to handle and compensating for it causes me to spiral into a watery death. I am using the default controls for flying:   * Number pad 4/6 for left and right rotation   * W/S for altitude   * A/D for banking left and right   * Mouse 1 for shooting I turned off mouse control for helicopters in favor of the keyboard as this would just aggravate my control (or lack of it) when flying.


Does the Rock Band 3 Squier lock you into playing notes/chords a certain way for the game?

I know that the Squier Stratocaster for Rock Band 3 uses a semiconductive fretboard to read your finger placement in order to interpret the notes you are playing, rather than actually using the sound/tone of the strings. The guitar is still not available in the EU and I do not own the Mustang, so I can't try pro-mode properly. I was wondering if, for gameplay/scoring purposes, it allows you to play alternate fingering for fretting. For example, on my real bass guitar, to play an E note , I can play either the open E string, like so: `E|------0-0-0-0------|` Or I can play an E note by holding down the 5th fret of the A string, like so: `A|------5-5-5-5------|` If RB3 wants to play an open E string but I play a fretted A string instead, will it still count me as playing an E note or not? Basically, I'm wondering if the tablature is open to interpretation based on playstyle and/or what one may have previously learned in a certain way.


Minecraft Java Native Code Crashing

Every time I log in to Minecraft, after recently downloading it onto my desktop, I notice that a couple of seconds in, if not straight away, the program freezes and closes. The following message appears: > A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: > > EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x000084c1, pid=1508, tid=1220 > > JRE version: 6.0_27-b07   >  Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (20.2-b06 mixed mode windows-x86 )   >  Problematic frame:   >  C 0x000084c1 > > If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:   >  http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp   >  The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.   >  See problematic frame for where to report the bug. It then displays information on threads, etc. How do I fix this?


How is the damage to items and the repair cost calculated?

While reparing your items was just a nuisance before patch 1.0.3, at least as long as you didn't die excessively, it is a very significant gold drain now. I'm trying to understand which factors affect the cost of repair and the amount of damage I have to repair.   * How exactly is the repair cost calculated. I understand it is connected to the ilevel of my equipment, but how does it work exactly.   * When are my items damaged and how much? The 10% on death are obvious, but for the non-death-related damage:      * Is it based on how often I'm hit or on how much damage I take?     * Do abilities that absorb or evade damage, e.g. diamond skin, also prevent damage to items?


Are level and card color counted in combat calculations?

In Injustice for **iOS** , are any of the combat calculations affected directly by card color/quality (bronze, silver, gold, as well as elite status) and card level, or are those things only important because they contribute to the final attack/health of a card? That is, are two cards with the same attack/health equal, regardless of if one happens to be a level 25 gold card and the other is a level 15 Elite III silver, or some other mismatch? Do these factors contribute to any other calculation during gameplay?


How do I handle a level 4 outbreak?

In Atom Zombie Smasher, I tend to do well at the level 1 and 2 outbreaks - I can kill all the zeds in level 1 (as long as I get infantry) and most of the time in level 2. I can reliably evacuate level 3, though I usually only get bronze medals. But how are you supposed to beat level 4 outbreaks? The best I can usually manage is to contain them by conquering the surrounding territories.


Cooked Meat vs Steak N' Mushrooms

Both "Cooked Meat" and "Steak N' Mushrooms" fill hunger 100%. I've noticed that "Cooked Meat" also gives a bit of health, whereas the other gives very little if any health. So what's the deal, why would I want to change my "Cooked Meat" into "Steak N' Mushrooms"?


What's required in order to have a city produce "Research"?

In earlier plays through Civ5 I've been able to set a city's production to Research, so I know it's possible, but I've not determined what it is that enables that (in my current game, Research isn't an option from the production menu for any of the cities). What's required (a particular tech, I'm assuming) to make that available?

Conditions for getting new migrants in Dwarf Fortress?

How do I get new migrants? I have plenty of food and drink, armor and weapons, and quite a few cut gems. I have also minted steel coins.

In Daggerfall, where can I get mithril?

I've been encountering some daedra and other creatures in dungeons -- my steel dai-katana isn't cutting it any more. I know that you need **dwarven or better** for enemies like harpies, and **mithril or better** for daedra. So, where can I get mithril?

How are Sink and Float used effectively?

In the Guild Wars 2 previews I was intrigued by the Sink and Float mechanics as a means to control underwater battles. However, I've not seen it much in the released game (in PvE, at least, which I play mostly). My thief has no relevant abilities that I know of but the official wiki list of Sink/Float skills isn't long so it appears to be fairly unimportant. The only useful effect I could think of off the top of my head is preventing a human opponent in PvP/WvW from getting to the surface when they're drowning, which is the only application mentioned on the wiki as well. Is this effect worth the effort? Does Float have similar applications against water-breathers (e.g. force a shark to the surface to prevent it from breathing)?

Hotline Miami savegame compatibility Win:OSX

The save directory structure under my OSX and Windows copy of Hotline Miami (from Steam) differs: OSX have a text `saves.dat`, while Windows have a binary `SaveData.sav` (though many parts are just text, similar to the other file).

Is there any lore about why the Horadric Cube isn't in Diablo 3?

What happened to the Horadric Cube after Diablo 2? Is it lost forever? Is there a chance to find such a rare item again or has Blizzard said nothing about its disappearance? Shouldn't the Horadric Cube be with Deckard Cain, since he is one of the last Horadrim? I'm trying to find if Blizzard did anything for a main story item transition from Diablo 2 to Diablo 3 here. If there are any small pieces of information you could find it would be greatly appreciated.

Can I save the hanging girl?

More Cryptozookeeper: I was going after the ape in the corporate lab when I found a woman hanging from the ceiling of a work room, partially encased in crystals. Scanning her reveals that she's still alive, only unconscious. However, most attempts to interact with her are failures. Not to gloss over the details too much, but I've liberated the ape, and get the feeling that I can leave the area safely—which probably means I won't be coming back. Can the woman be saved, somehow? And if so... how?


Minecraft 14w20b - How to use execute to teleport?

I am using snapshot 14w20b, and I have a problem. I have the following in a command block on a command block `setblock` clock:               /execute @e[type=Snowball] ~ ~ ~ tp @e[type=Pig,r=10] ~ ~ ~      I expected this to teleport all pigs within a 10 block radius of a snowball to teleport to it, if one exists. However, all pigs remained in place, and further inspection revealed _they were teleporting to themselves_. Why is this happening and how can I fix it? EDIT: My goal is to teleport all pigs within range of a snowball to the snowball. How can I accomplish this?


How to progress when stuck in "limbo" between iLvl 200 and 220 @ level 81

I leveled to 81 the other day but unfortunately my iLvl was only at 200 which means I couldn't progress to the cataclysm dungeons and because I out leveled the Wrath of the Lich king dungeons I couldn't go back there to keep bumping my iLvl up. What is one meant to do in this case, if your iLvl lags behind your character level? Hunt and wait for cataclysm greens purchasable on the AH? Am I doing it wrong, or is this poor continuity from blizzard?


How do you get the achievements for the new Frontier DLC

I've won several matches on Dig Site, Export and Haven, but haven't received any XBone achievements for them. My player stats shows that I have victories on all these maps, and XBone smart glass is showing them as 100% complete but not awarded. Is there some special extra criteria I need to pass? Those victories include some MVPs. Is this a big on the XBone version and if so is there any way around it?


Why aren't my Enchanting and Alchemy fortifying each other correctly?

I'm trying to create the first set of potions described in the Skyrim Wiki Guide for hugely improved items using the trick with maxed alchemy, smithing and enchanting. According to the guide, the first set of potions should have a 25% increase in alchemy without wearing any gear at all. In my case, though, I have to wear 4 pieces of armor with 20% increase in alchemy to make potions that have an increase in enchanting of 22%! Then, if I use the potions to create new alchemy enhancing gear I only get a bonus of 22% to my alchemy on each piece which isn't enough to make new enchant potions that are any stronger than the previous. I tried to get around this by using an exploit (which I normally try to avoid) by enchanting a falmer helmet and a circlet along with the glove and ring and amulet with enhanced alchemy. This allows me to make enchantment potions that have 32% on them which is supposed to be the max. This sounds like good news but when I use the potions to go create the final set of gear that should have a value of enhanced alchemy 29%, it's only at 23%! Finally, to top off my frustrations when I create the first piece of gear with the 23% increase in alchemy, the next piece of gear I make will only have 15% even though the enchant potion is still active. This is an extreme bug and I have no idea how to possibly fix it. I tried using the console to remove all my perks and then re-add them in the correct order to make sure that my perk values were all correct in case that was the problem and the same thing occurs anyway. What can I do to fix this issue?


Do chests and other containers in dungeons ever refill?

Certain radiant quests have brought me to the same area on occasion. A good example would be the Redwood Redoubt, of which I've been contracted to the kill the bandit leader three times now. And though I'm fond of murdering bandits, I'm more fond of stealing their treasure so if there isn't any more for me to take, I don't see the point in questing in that area again. That said, do the chests and other containers (burial urns, cabinets, bookshelves, etc) in a dungeon ever respawn their contents? If so, any idea how long this process takes?


Where is The Cave of Ordeals located?

Can anyone out there help me locate The Cave of Ordeals in _The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess_?


MineCraft Launchers & ersions and Mods?

So I recently got back into Minecraft, (version 1.7.10). I recently downgraded to 1.6.4 to play on a Roleplaying Server. But now I find myself faced with a dilemma:   1. I want to play on 1.7.10 servers with other modpacks.   2. I may want to play on a few different servers- with different launchers. (So far I have the ATLauncher & FTBlauncher, and Technic launcher-- all with different Modpacks- for different servers etc.)   3. Is there a way to get all these to play nicely, without needing to find & change EVERY single pointer/folder for the Launchers etc? Example: The Roleplay Server is 1.6.4 with only a few mods, the Technic Launcher server is LOTS of MODS, but on 1.7.10, how do keep them from interfering with each other? Does anyone have suggestions or instructions?


What does "Touchpad mode" change in Flight Control HD?

Flight Control HD, available for Windows and Mac OS X, has a little option called `Touchpad mode`. The in-game help says: _Ensure "Trackpad mode" is enabled in the options for optimized controls._ Well, "optimized controls" is too vague for me. I want to know (exactly) how it changes the gameplay interaction. From the few minutes I played with it enabled, I didn't notice any difference.


Is there any way to report players in MW2?

This is terrible. Almost every lobby I join is hacked, especially on S&D and F4A. Yesterday they reset all my custom classes, setting a **smoke grenade** as my primary weapon. Is there any way to report hackers in MW2 so they get banned, or at least get a warning? I'm on a PlayStation 3 system, by the way.


How do I Counter-Break combos

Killer instinct allows you to counter a combo-breaker by breaking the breaker (yup) to continue your combo, but to do this you must hit a certain button/perform a certain move and then your character feints and if the opponent attempts to break during the feint the counter breaker initiates. What is the command? Does each character have a different one?


Guild Wars 1 vs Guild Wars 2 (from Demo Expo) gameplay

Has anyone here gotten the privilege to try out the GW2 demo from the expo that was hosted a while back? I'm specifically interested in what the actual gameplay was like. How does it compare to the gameplay from GW1?


Can I disable "cut scenes"?

Everytime I load the game, I first have to go through Charles Martinee advertising some ingame brand, then an explanation that advises me to use an Xbox controller. Afterwars, when starting the game, I have to watch him explain how Commander Video gets lost. When starting the first level of any world, I'll have to watch him explain how Commander Video gets there. Can I skip these without actually watching? I know pressing "Spacebar" skips them, but I'd rather not see them at all. Are there any options that disable them?
