What is the most preferred approach of LAN gaming in Counter Strike 1.6 or Condition Zero?

The issue is common for both CS1.6 and C-Zero. I am trying to connect with 3 other laptops in an ad-hoc network for LAN gaming. Three Dell Laptops and one Acer. All have different OS viz. Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit in two laptops and mine and the other laptop has Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Somehow we successfully connect and start playing. But all of a sudden, there is a sudden surge in the latency and the game lags and freezes almost frequently and it is impossible to play. All the players are affected due to this. In the game, when I create a server it is never visible to any other users. **CS servers made in Home Premium OS are not visible on LAN ?** We tried to reduce the latency. I am not some professional at this game actually we all are just having moderate expertise or maybe little expertise. In the console I tried to make the following changes before starting the gameplay:               rate 25000     cl_cmdrate 80     cl_updaterate 80      But this made no difference. As I mentioned earlier we connect to an ad-hoc network created by one user and all others connect to server created in the game by any user. The ad-hoc network works for some and doesn't work for others. My laptop cannot get the server made by my friend in ad-hoc. The above approach didn't work sometimes. So we tried the `connect <IP Address>` approach which works for all but the above described lag problem persists. I am not so well-versed with networking so I may have misspelled, misused or maybe unaware of some jargon's pertaining to it. So my question is what approach should be followed so the game works without any issues on all systems in LAN gaming ?


How can I make tables like in the NPC villages?

In the NPC villages, you can see tables in some of the houses. How can I create those tables?


How does Cold Blooded work?

The Wizard's Cold Blooded passive says "Cold damage dealt to chilled and frozen targets is increased by 20%". While 'frozen' is pretty obvious (although there aren't many ways to freeze targets) 'chilled' is a bit less obvious. What specifically qualifies as a debuff to allow for this bonus damage? For example, the reduced movement speed from the Ice Armor Chilling Armor rune specifically says the targets become chilled, but Ray of Frost's effect seems to do the same thing but doesn't say that...are they treated the same? How can I tell what qualifies?


Does weaker enemies bill affect item leveling?

In Disgaea 3, if I pass a weaker enemies bill it will make it easier to get farther into an item when I enter an item world. Will this have any negative impact on leveling the item? For example, if I want to get my item past level 30, say, but can't because the enemies are too difficult, I could level up my team some more - or I could just pass a weaker enemies bill and be able to get to item level 40. Would the end level 40 item be any different if I did it with weaker enemies than if I did it with normal (or even strongest) enemies? Secondarily, how would weaker enemies affect pirate spawns or anything else while leveling the item?


How can I search for a specific item on Blacksmith?

I was looking in the list of blacksmith recipes and found some interesting items, but when I started looking for them, it took some time to find. How can I create specific searches in-game for items in my blacksmith? for example by name or by level.


What Triggers the Addition of New Balls in 'Relentless' Mode?

The description for **Magnetic Billiards** _Relentless_ game mode reads: > Balls from the tube will be gradually added to the table. > > How long will you last? However, I'm not entirely sure what actually triggers the addition of new balls. This is annoying because the bonus for completely clearing the table is very high, and I can't reliably do this without understanding when new balls will appear. It seems to be quasi-random, usually waiting until there are only one or two single balls left not in clusters, but this isn't always the case, as you can see from the screenshot below. What triggers this? ![New balls seem to be triggered somewhat randomly in this mode](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4vsrY.jpg)


How do I kill the dragon in the moon?

I'm trying to get all the pieces of the crystal armor in the dungeon in the moon, but there's a red dragon in a box that kills me with "Thermal Ray" that makes something like 2k of damage to my party. Any advice on how fight it?


What happened to the Daedric artifacts my follower was carrying?

How to find extreme hills biomes

Is there any effective way to find extreme hills or extreme hills edge biomes for emerald farming since they are so rare?


Do Queens affect the amount of larva produced in the Heart of Swarm campaign?

I found it odd that during the campaign, I am unable to use the Queen's ability to spawn larva. However, it seemed that keeping a queen near my hatchery did cause more larva to spawn. In the Heart of the Swarm campaign, does keeping a queen near a hatchery affect the amount of larva produced?


How do I survive until reinforcements arrive on Rendevous?

I'm still early in the campaign, and the only unit I can spawn from Larvae are Zerglings, which die en masse to the Hellions, Hellbats, and Firebats roving the map, and are utterly useless against the wraiths and vikings that appear, given that they can't attack air. Spore and Spine Crawlers help, but due to their size, they are out DPS'd by the Dominion forces, (especially once their mech starts rolling in). Kerrigan is quite effective at halting their advance, but she is but one woman, and despite her constant utterances to the contrary, she is not a "one- woman army". How can I hold out against the storms of fire and wings of death?


How can I move the entrances and exits?

I haven't played RCT in years, so I assume I am just forgetting something, and my googling skills are failing me - I placed a ride (a log flume, if it matters), and I want to move the entrance and exit, because, well, they are in places where I cannot get paths to/from them. My usual plan, because I can't find a better option, is to delete the ride and start over and pay more attention to placement. Is there a easier way to adjust my entrances and exits?


There are 4 slots but I have 3 blue cubes. How do I open this door in 'The Final Hurdle'?

Is using fusion on units to get them to Level 4 efficient?

Is using fusion on units in World at Arms (Android + iOS) to get them to Level 4 efficient? It only doubles the stats of Level 3 troops, while increasing the price over 10 times. Also, the average player won't produce 96 troops just to have 6 Level 4 troops in all of their battle slots. Is there any overpowering advantage to having a Level 4 troop instead of just two Level 3 troops?


How can I make Civilization V more difficult?

So I’ve been trying to create a truly difficult game of Civilization. I want to test my skills. So, obviously first thing to do is put the AI on Deity, and I've ticked the box for Rampaging Barbarians. What other settings can I play about with to make the game more difficult?


What's the biohazard symbol on the player info card mean?

When in the multiplayer lobby, if you hover over another player or yourself you see a pop-up info card showing their current perk set, games played and winning percentage. Some of these cards also have a biohazard symbol in the top-right: ![player pop-up with biohazard symbol](http://i.stack.imgur.com/b8gmj.jpg) And some of them don't: ![player pop-up without biohazard symbol](http://i.stack.imgur.com/De9lm.jpg) I'm mildly curious as to what the symbol means?


How often do cities refresh their job list?

In Nimblebit's Pocket Trains for iOS, you create your train empire by setting up a railroad network and managing your trains to pick up and deliver jobs from one city to another. Gameplay-wise, Pocket Trains is similar to Nimblebit's earlier release, Pocket Planes. I noticed that jobs aren't refreshed as regularly in Pocket Trains as in Pocket Planes, with the latter having a very visible timer telling you when new jobs are arriving in a city. When are jobs refreshed in a city in Pocket Trains?


What is the black floating ghost?

How do you deal with choke points early on in StarCraft 2?

How do you scout/harass/attack/deal with choke points in early->mid game in Starcraft? After some introspection, I've realized the bane of my Starcraft online play -- I wait far too long to attack (and re-scout), **because** of an unconscious requirement I impose that I can only attack when I have an army large enough to break through my opponent's choke point. As such, I wait far too long, and scout far too little (since I can't get past the choke point beyond the initial early-round scouting, what's the point other than to check the map for expansions?).


How do I defeat the Gatekeeper as a Damage Dealer? (The 'Furia' option?)

I've completed all 8 Elite dungeons, and have Blue QL 10 Talismans in every slot! Obviously, the next step is Nightmare modes! But in order to run those, I have to first defeat the Gatekeeper. I'm primarily set up as a DPS (AR/Elemental if it's important). How do I defeat this mode? I've gotten him into the 'second phase,' where he floats up into the air after dying a few times to his 'Too Slow' attack, but then he just one shots me after a few seconds. What am I missing here?


Are there different Bioshock Infinite endings depending on choices? Do choices make any difference?

The original bioshock had different endings based on certain morality choices, namely whether you saved or harvested little sisters if I recall. I just finished Infinite and I'm wondering if there are any other endings. ** **There will likely be spoilers in the answers, don't scroll down if you haven't finished it* _*_** What about the choices like whether or not you stole from the shops? More obviously, what about the choice between the cage and the bird necklace? Do they change anything? Did anyone pick the cage?

Unable to buy Pages of Blacksmithing from the Auction House

## Note: The auction house no longer exists. This question is irrelevant to the current release of the game * * * When I go to the auction house, select pages and recipes -> artisan crafting -> pages of blacksmithing (or any of the pages), and i try to click buyout it wont let me. it says you must purchase at least (coins worth)100 of this item. Why can't i buy any recipes? I haven't really used the auction house much but is it that there isn't enough stock of this item so i can't buy it out?


How do I defeat the Gatekeeper as a Tank? (The 'Fortitudo' option?)

I've completed all 8 Elite dungeons, and have Blue QL 10 Talismans in every slot! Obviously, the next step is Nightmare modes! But in order to run those, I have to first defeat **The Gatekeeper**. I'm primarily set up as a Tank (Blade/Chaos if it's important). How do I defeat this mode? I've figured out that I need to keep him faced away from the green dude that's going to kill him for me, but he seems to periodically one shot me and I just can't avoid it. What am I missing? Are there further phases or mechanics to the fight?


How can I make a radio assistance call when there are no more resource crates in a location?

I can only access the 'Radio Assistance' menu when there are still resource crates in a location. I'm playing the Steam Early Access version on the PC. The State of Decay wiki's "Radio" article states that (for the Xbox 360 version): " _The active survivor can also call for field support through the radio. By pressing Down on the directional pad, the survivor can view the radio menu and choose an call to use._ " However, I can't seem to find the equivalent key(s) on the PC, and can only access the Radio Assistance menu by selecting a resource crate and choosing to make a radio assistance call. So, another way of asking this question would be:   **What is the equivalent key for the Xbox 360 version's D-pad down button (Radio Assistance) in the PC version?** The Radio Assistance menu can be used to build an outpost in the location one is making the call from. If a location where you can build an outpost doesn't have any resource crates anymore (either I already took it in my rucksack, or already taken by scavengers), can I still make a radio call and build an outpost there? Another issue here is that the Radio Assistance menu is needed when you want to move to a new house / home site. How do I make a radio assistance call to move to a new house if there are no resource crates in that location?


Will lock picking a door in plain sight affect relations with a town or npc

I was wondering can you lock pick a door while other people are around without this affecting your relationship with the town or people adversely. I noticed that if you want to steal something the item is labeled red STEAL but the locked door does not have any such designation. I would like to know if I should be doing this on the sly and not in the open. Thanks


Are there 3 words to EVERY shout?

I noticed that every shout has place for 3 words in the menu. What's confusing me is that I found a shout which already has all of the 3 words listed, but greyed out so I can learn them, while others (for example the fire damage shout) only have one word listed and greyed out. Are there really 3 words to any shout?


What do the various skills do in Star Command?

Is there a way to more easily rearrange table seating besides using the Tavern?

I'd like to rearrange how my players sit at the table, but clicking, dragging, and other attempts don't give me an option to change seating. The only way I know currently is to go to a Tavern, remove all from the table, then add back in the order I want. Is there an easier or more intuitive way to arrange the seating?

Every time I play a game in Crusader Kings 2, my vassals rebel

Every time I start a new game, my vassal always rebel within like the first 5 or so years. Why does this happen? I've looked up on the wiki that I need to take away some of their titles, but they say No and then have an uprising. It happens no matter what place I pick. Right now I'm playing Brittany, for like the 5th attempt, and my vassals decide they hate me, and I lose half my land along with half my levies.


What does the third equipment slot do?

In Kung Fu Strike you are able to grant yourself various bonuses by equipping certain items. You have three customization slots and in the first two you can place pretty run of the mill items such as bracers, boots and so on. The third slot, however, is not for items but for what would seem like a fighting style... ![Fighting style?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tQqV5.jpg) However, I've tried out both "Lightning Fist" and "Lightning Kick" without noticing any difference while playing (I'll admit the game tends to get chaotic, but still). What does the equipped "Style" in this slot affect?


What Class determines Class Time Spent in Battlefield 3?

If you play as a class in a Battlefield 3 map, obviously whatever class you spawn in as will receive time spent as that class towards the service medal. But what happens when you pick up another kit? For example, if I spawn in as an Engineer, then run out of ammo and pick up a Recon kit, does my play time from then on go towards Engineer or Recon? I would think it would go towards Recon, however, visibly, my character will still appear to be an Engineer, just one holding a sniper rifle. This leads me to wonder which one actually receives the play time.


How does aiming down the sights affect Accuracy?

missing spell effect on hand leads to crash

The spell effect goes missing from time to time.   It is missing in 1st and 3rd person.   It seems to happen with any spell. When this happens, I know the game will crash but only if:   * I have no hands with the spell that has missing effect (I can have both hands with it, but as soon I have none, like equipping a 2handed, the game crashes).   * I quit to main screen.   * I try to load a game. My game is heavily moded on PC.   I have started a new game.   I have used TES5Edit to create a merged patch. Papyrus shows nothing special on logs.               [Papyrus]     bEnableLogging=1     bEnableTrace=1     bLoadDebugInformation=1      SKSE ini should be fixing most problems.               [General]     ClearInvalidRegistrations=1      I also use ENBoost, so my initial guess it is not graphics related. What would you do to try to solve this?

Random person encounter

In GTA 4, you could encounter random people, who would give you small side missions along side the main story line. You would encounter these people throughout the game. You could spot these on the mini-map radar looking like a small man. These missions where are nice break to the main story line, and often had small hints to the main story. **Are there any of these in GTA 5?** **And if so, where can they be found?** (in GTA 4 they where usually at fixed locations)

Who's in charge? I want to fart on some authority figures to speak truth to power

Working on rounding out my accumulation of achievements, it seems that I may have been insufficiently diligent in my quest to fart on everyone in South Park. I say this because I've finished the game, but have not earned the **Truth to Power** achievement. I'm not sure who I'm supposed to fart on for this achievement, because I've not earned it and I just did a loop, farting on all of the members of the PTA and school staff, Officer Barbrady, the Mayor, Wendy, Jesus, the Mountie guarding the border, Ike, the Prince of Canada, the Earl of Winnipeg, the Bishop of Banff, and the Duke of Vancouver. I even farted on Kyle and Cartman at their respective seats of power. I am running out of people in positions of power to fart on. I've already resorted to several rather precarious leaps of logic without success.


Putting tags above blocks when looked at

In Killing Floor, how do I earn the "The Big Hunt" achievement?

While I own Killing Floor due to the Potato Sack earlier this year, it is one of the games in my steam library that has seen little use (TF2 being my go-to multiplayer FPS).

"Laggy" cutscenes with my ps4

I've bought a ps4 with some games. But the "laggy" cutscene behavior occured only with two of them so far: Tomb Raider and Watch Dogs. To be more precise, the initial cutscenes are "laggy": the one which lara gets hit on the head at the beach and the one which shows the bikers chasing Aiden (Tomb Raider and WD respectively) But the games runs smoothly as they should. The only problem is with cutscenes. And i haven't reached a point on those games to see if the problem persists with anoter cutscenes. What could be causing this? I know that the ps4 does a mandatory installation...could this be the hdd? Should i format it or something?

I want to know which item slots do not have the potential to receive **_Warforged_** or **_Heroic Warforged_** Gear.

Does Vayne's Tumble (Q) damage affect Trinity Force?

Yesterday we saw Doublelift build a Trinity Force on Vayne. However, I asked myself a few questions, since I have never really played Vayne:   1. Does her Q proc Spellblade? (I highly assume YES)   2. Does her Q affect Trinity Force bonus damage? Example (armor calculation ignored)   1. We have 100 AD and maxed Q.   2. Our next attack after we Q (without TF) would deal 150 AD (100 * 1.50)   3. Our next attack after we Q (with TF) would deal 450 AD ((100 * 1.50) * 3.00) The * 3.00 comes form the 200% bonus damage TF grants after a spell is cast. 100% + 200% = 300% **Am I missing or miscalculating something here?**


Does buying the Treasure Map cancel the Curse of Darkness Curse?

However, it does not reveal icons."(from the wiki) Which ability has priority? The curse or the map? Will I be able to see the map again? Or will it be a waste of 15 pennys?


Why can't I link Abel's Step Kick into cl.HP or cl.MP?

Every time I practice in Training mode, it seems to be a hit and miss. With the bots set to Auto Block, it seems sometimes I can get very lucky and get it in, but most of the time, it ends up in a block. I know Counter-Hit makes it easier to link, but since I can't rely solely on Counter-Hits when playing online matches, how am I supposed to nail this down consistently?

What is the redacted lyric in Portal 2's credits?

In the credits song "Want You Gone" of Portal 2, there is one line where the text is `[REDACTED]`. The lyric is either "I'll stop feeling so _bad_ " or "I'll stop feeling so _glad_ ", but after listening several times I can't tell which one. Can anyone provide evidence for which one it is? Or is it ambiguous on purpose, so you don't know whether GLaDOS loves you or not at the end?


Iron branches versus circlet to start the game

Why get iron branches (+1 to all attributes for 50 gold) when you plan to get a circlet (+2 to all attributes for 185 gold)? Obviously cost might go into it a little bit, but you're saving gold and a courier trip in the long run if you get a circlet instead of 3 branches. You obviously also don't get that extra +1 to all attributes. On heroes that build Bracers, Null Talismans or Wraith Bands, why wouldn't you get the circlet in lieu of your iron branches?


What are the possible drops for defeating Yeti Zombie?

A Yeti Zombie spawned in Ancient Egypt for me just now, and the game says I should try to defeat it in order to obtain fabulous treasure.

What are the other possibilities for Yeti Zombie drops?

Is it possible to change sides on the Dawnguard DLC for Skyrim?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Is it possible to change from a member of the Dawnguard, to a Vampire Lord > or vice versa (permanently)? This is simply a simplified version of my extensive previous question. Of course, there are two main sides in Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC, one can be either a Vampire Lord or hunter, of vampire, saviour of light: a member of the Dawnguard. I simply ask if it is possible to switch from a Vampire to a member of the Dawnguard once you have initiated the quest as a Vampire. I am currently searching for the second Elder Scroll (as a Vampire), for I have found the one from Oblivion. _Please reference my previous question:Is it possible to change from a member of the Dawnguard, to a Vampire Lord or vice versa (permanently)? for a further background_ I of course realise loading games shall most likely lead to me to the option again yet that would be a last resort, perhaps even not an option.

Black screen when running most games fullscreen

So I'm coming with my head in my hands asking for somebody to help me out with my laptop. My basic system information is as follows: http://pastebin.com/AVeGH8j6 This is only a problem I have experienced in the past few months. Basically, 90% of my games will not run in fullscreen. When I load them up, I merely get a black screen (with game audio as normal). Games that let me move to windowed using `Alt`+`Enter` then work fine in windowed mode (once I've played around a bit, as my laptop usually locks up upon game launch; I have to press `Alt`+`Enter` and then use the sleep button and load it back up to get it to respond). So if I can get them to run in windowed mode or borderless fullscreen windowed, they work fine. Initially, I assumed it was a driver problem, so, I uninstalled my current NVidia drivers, used an online guide to delete all traces of them as suggested, then updated to the latest ones to no avail. I have even tried backdating my drivers to the ones that came preloaded. Nothing has worked. At the moment I am running the latest drivers for my GT555M (310.70) and I am still having the same problem. I also heard it might be something to do with Avast! (my antivirus), so I uninstalled it and tried again - nothing. Hours of trawling Google has yielded little - it's a major headache for a committed PC gamer! N.B. some of my techy friends have suggested formatting my hard drive or reinstalling my OS, but my recovery disk was made pre- installation of SP1, which I heard makes it effectively useless, and on top of that I'd rather not lose a load of my single user licenses (e.g. MS Office). What could I do to fix this problem?


How do I change projectile (nail, rocket, etc) speed?

I'm playing **Quake 1** in single-player mode with **QuakeSpasm 0.85.7** engine. I want to limit the speed of projectiles, like thrown grenade, launched rocket of rocket launcher and fired nail of nailgun/supernailgun, or any other custom projectile of custom weapons. I tried changing `sv_maxvelocity <#>`, but it overrides `sv_maxspeed <#>` and so affects the speed of my character when I set small values to it. Also, the projectiles spread to sides too much for small speed values. Is it possible to limit the projectile speed without also limiting the player speed?


What can hit me during Smoke Screen?

I have noticed that certain attacks can hit me during Smoke Screen. This goes especially for the lava of molten enemies. I am not sure if the jumping attack of the Scavenger or the charging attack of the Thrall can be dodged by SS. Sometimes it does not seem to work, but that could be due to lag. Now I wonder which attacks have a chance of hitting me.

How do you avoid Belial's slam attacks?

I'm used to playing a Monk, where I'm defensive enough that the slams don't really bother me and have enough healing that I never really gave them any thought. Now, I'm playing a Demon Hunter, and even though he telegraphs the slams with a big green meteor circle, I don't know how to avoid the impact. Even if his arm doesn't hit me, I'm still taking damage from the slams. Since I die in 2 hits to the slams, and my healing options are limited (potions have a cooldown and my damage output isn't exactly amazing while I'm running for my life to take advantage of Shadow Power), the best option is probably to avoid taking damage from them altogether. **Is there any pattern to his slams? How should I _move_ to avoid them once he starts telegraphing that that's his plan?** To clarify, since there has been some confustion, this _is not_ asking for Demon Hunter specific strategies. This _is_ asking about Belial's attack pattern and how to predict and avoid it in general.


How much does each specialist reduce the waiting time on resources?

In ReignMaker you can hire the following specialists via your town hall:   * Lumberjack   * Farmer   * Scholar   * Armsmaster   * Smelter Each of them supposedly reduces the waiting/production time on resources and/or Spells and Equipment. The game fails to tell us by how much though. Does anyone have any numbers on this? ![Screenshot of the hire section](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0vvM0.jpg)

How can I avoid clicking quite so much?

Diablo games tend to be very click heavy - click to move, click to attack, click to loot. Diablo 3 appears to be continuing this tradition. I find this problematic for a couple of reasons:   * Clicking is overloaded - I might move when I want to attack, for instance.   * Clicking hurts - I have a RSI that means that trying to play a click-heavy game for more than a short while causes pain. Is there any way I can do _less_ clicking in this game? Can I move using WASD, for example? If not, what other things can I do to reduce the number of clicks it takes to play? What settings or other strategies can I employ to reduce my dependence on clicking?

Approximately how many treks are required to get 1 follower from level 1 to 99 in Runescape's Temple Trekking Activity?

I've read various wiki articles and guides on how to get through the activity, and playing a few routes, I noticed that the number of levels that a companion levels up each time seems to gradually decrease as his level increases. However, none of the guides I've looked at give me any idea of how many times I'll have to play this game to level up my companions. Does anyone know an approximate, ballpark number for how many trips it would take to get each tier of companion (easy, medium, hard) up to level 99?

What's the most effective non-stealth hand-to-hand combat strategy for a fort captain?

In AC3, I have a little trouble beating the captain of the fort in close range non-stealth combat, who is usually able to counter a counter with a damaging punch to the face. This means that I can either take the hit or counter it and take a smaller hit (or maybe dodge, haven't tried that yet). I think a kick works somewhat, but if I remember correctly the captain usually counters a killing blow from the knife or the tomahawk (haven't tried sword yet). This has forced me to use stealth strategies to take out the captain. Which is annoying because sometimes I try to take the whole fort on at once Commando- style and the captain spoils the fun. **What is the best combo for fighting the fort captain in open combat?** **What is the best melee weapon class (short blade, axe, sword, musket, etc) for honorable combat with the captain?**


How to further my playing of Jungle Lee Sin?

My main and favorite role in League of Legends is Jungle Lee Sin. Lee Sin is an amazing champion with amazing mobility, great ganks, and amazing jungle clear. I usually start red and then gank top immediately. I build assassin Lee Sin and build full AD, with the occasional tanky item. After Hunter's Machete and 5 pots, I occasionally build to Madreds Razors. Afterwards I build towards Sightstone, Bloodthirsters, upgrade to Maw, get Ravenous Hydra.   My masteries are 21/9/0 with points in AD and Armor Penetration and in reduced creep damage. My runes are Flat AD Quints, Flat AD Reds, Flat Armor Yellows, and Scaling Magic Resist Blues. I smartcast all abilities except my ult. I don't smartcast any items but slot 3 which is for the sightstone. To get to the point, I play very well in a normal game and usually have a positive k/d ratio. I play strong and am able to ward jump proficiently to make a clean escape or occasionally chase, I make my skillshots 9/10 times, so I don't know what the problem is when I play ranked. I usually do okay but sometimes my team just can't play (sadly I am stuck in Bronze 5) or when I play against the enemy team, they play super passively and because of that, I can't gank them because they can get under their turret very quickly. I feel I can't do anything late game in team fights either. At a point I just backdoor, but the opposing team usually sees me and ganks me, leaving me dead to watch my team lose. I can never get my items unless I take all of my teams laning kills. I can't farm because the laners get upset if I take their CS. I can't manage well in time when ganking and jungling. I do not think I am a bad player, despite bronze 5, honestly play with me and you'll see. But I know I rely too much on enemy play style, and I want to know how to better play Lee Sin so I can be a good ranked player. **How can I become a better Lee Sin Jungler?** Being a better player means I need to know:   - How do I get proper gold?   - How do I play against passive players?   - How do I improve my late game?

What is the best way to defend White Forest in Half-Life 2: Episode Two?

I always have a hard time defending the White Forest base against the oncoming Striders and Hunters. My problem is that I cannot kill the Striders as long as the Hunters are alive as they always shoot the Magnusson Devices before I can attach them to the Strider or before I can shoot them to blow up the Strider. For this reason I always kill the Hunters first before I take on the Striders. The problem with Hunters is that they are somewhat tough. So I usually resort to running them over with my car. This is, however, not as easy as one would hope because the map is full of obstacles and Hunters sometimes move in the last seconds before I can run them over. Also they are often very close to their Strider so that the Strider's legs get in my way. This means I frequently have to reverse and try to hit the Hunter again and again. Hitting the Hunters takes up most of the time I spend on the entire battle. This is a very lengthy process which means I usually end up losing all buildings on the map and towards the end it is always a very close call whether I can hold the Striders off from shooting the base. I was wondering what your tactics are to take care of the Hunter issue. Is there some better way that could kill them faster? I am aware of the secondary fire mechanism of the AR2 but I usually have only 3 shots of ammo for that and that is not going to be sufficient for the about 20 Hunters that will need to be killed in the course of the battle.

Why can't i add multiple amount of certain elite monsters for battle?

When you're about to battle in this game almost always you are able to use **ADD** option to increase the amount of monsters you want to have in fight. Some "Elite" monsters can only be added once for each battle however. And i said some, because other "Elite" monsters can be added up to maximum amount if wanted. Why are certain "Elite" monsters so special that there can only be 1 of them for each battle?


Do you have to pay off each loan all at once (not including the down payment)?

I just got my full house so I owe 38,900 bells. (I know you have to pay the original down payment at once.) I keep trying to pay off a little bit and it isn't reacting. I accidentally paid off 900 bells and I just lost them. The owed amount stayed the same. I saved and quit and went back in immediately. Same thing. I also saved and quit the game completely and restarted and still the same thing. It might just be a visual issue. My loan is getting paid off but I just can't see any progress but I don't want to risk my measly 12,000 bells to test it and I also don't have enough to try paying it off all at once at the moment to see if it will work at all. Does anybody know how to fix this if it is a bug or if I am just supposed to pay off every loan in full every time and they just don't tell you? **Update:** It turns out the original loan amount is 39,800 bells. So my 900 bells did go through. What I was expecting was the "Pay Loan" screen to function like the deposit and withdraw screen. The Deposit menu updates your Held Bells value to reflect the amount of bells you will have left if you make the deposit and your Account bells to the amount that will be in your bank if you make that deposit. The Withdraw screen does the same in the opposite direction of course. The repay loan menu does not do this (at least for me, which may be a bug in itself but a much less worrying one). As you can see in the linked pictures. When I put in 400 bells My held bells and bells owed stay the same as when I put in 4000 bells. So coupled with that and me not noticing the switch between the 8 and 9 I thought I couldn't pay off my loan.


What and/or when should I craft?

In Path of Exile, there's no gold (piece) economy. It is based on currency items which each have their own use and their prices are relative to themselves, and to the leagues in which they appear. What is the use of these currency items? Crafting. Here is Grinding Gear Game's (the developer's) official list of currency items.   Here is the unofficial Path of Exile Wiki's article on Currency which includes more extensive information. However, it's not hard to tell that burning high value currency on low-level gear is a...wasteful endeavour. It's nice to have good mods on low-level gear, but these items are not like the more eternally-valued end-game gear. People may suggest trading for the sort of gear that one desires instead of trying to craft it oneself. A good way to put it is that, largely, crafting is gambling. I could go on, but I want to leave the rest to the answerer. When should I wait and when should I create?   When should I pump it and when should I lump it?   When should I leave it and when should I conceive it?   When should I buy it and when should I apply it?   When should I ditch it and when should I hitch it?   When should I damn it and when should I spam it?   When should I whet it and when should I forget it?   When should I hone it and when should I disown it? OK, I'm having too much fun.


Wololo? Roggan?

The unit speech in Age of Empires seems like a made-up one, a kind of "Simlish" (warning TV Tropes). Is it completely made up, or was it somewhat based on a language? Some of the responses sound vaguely Latin, with the -us suffixes.


Can you pull people out of their cars without getting in?

In Watch Dogs, when approaching a car, there is a command to enter the vehicle by pressing triangle. Then the protagonist pulls out the driver and gets into the car himself. I have recently been invaded, spotted the hacker hiding in a car and wanted to pull him out before his engine started, which worked, but then I started driving myself and the invader had enough time to get into another vehicle. Is there a way to pull out the driver but not enter the vehicle yourself?


What statuses count as control-impairing effects?

I just got a nice shiny new legendary gem. Bane of the Trapped, to be exact. Which has, as its primary effect: > Increase damage against enemies under the effects of control-impairing > effects by X. Obviously, it's in my best interest to ensure my enemies are under at least one of these effects at all times, for a constant boost to damage. My question is, what statuses count as control-impairing? I'm guessing slow does, as that's what the gem itself will give once it gets to rank 25, but until that point, I'm going to need something else to hit them with. So what can I use to ensure this gem's damage boost gets as much uptime as possible?

Why does my wedding turn into a brawl?

Playing Skyrim, trying to get married to Borgahk the Steel Heart and, upon waiting for the wedding to happen in the Temple of Mara the guests start fighting. I've determined that it might be something to do with Mjoll the Lioness, due to her being the only hostile character on my compass. Everyone in the temple will attack her until she is downed then resume attacking when she stands back up. Is there some way to fix this? Edit: Not Mjoll, thought it was but it's actually a Bandit Chief with very similar model and the same face-paint. Killing the bandit does end the cycle of fighting and waiting but I am continually told to leave the temple, and find myself unable to.


DE:HR incomplete sidequest in the beginning?

I'm playing Deux Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut and I have the email from Athene Margoulis asking me to find the drug thief. I went through an air shaft down stairs from the cafeteria (like maintnance offices section) and I found a big vertical airshaft. Climbing down the stairs I find a datapad with an email which pretty much proves that Brian Tindall is the thief. The problem is that when I go back to Ms. Margoulis she doesn't respond to it. Is it a bug? Or am I missing something?


What stops underleveled players from 'leeching' in high torment levels?

Let's suppose (solo) I can clear T1 rifts just fine, but T5 and T6 rifts are just impossible to clear alone. But I still want that higher legendary drop chance (with the extra gold and experience being icing on the cake). What's to stop me from joining a T6 game with three other incredibly well-geared characters, and (assuming they don't kick me), just letting them do all the dirty work. Would I still get the same drop rate bonus as the other three players, or does Blizzard have some sort of mechanism in place to prevent this sort of abuse? (Allowing the other players to kick the 'abuser' isn't going to cut it because it could be that those other players are my friends who want to gear me up real quick.)


Can one PlayStation Plus subscription be shared between multiple PSN accounts on the same machine?

When should I go for which grenade?

Since it sounds like grenades are in relatively short supply, I want to make good use of them. It seems clear to me that grenades are mostly useful against large numbers of enemies that are relatively tightly grouped. But it appears that each class has its own special type of grenade. So when I see a group of enemies, how should I decide which of my group's grenades to go for? And are there other things I should be thinking about in terms of whether or not to use a grenade besides just looking for groups of enemies?


What's the point of the watch timer?

One of the power-ups in _Worms Crazy Golf_ is a watch that has 10 seconds on it. If you click it after you've hit the ball, everything slows down. As far as I can tell, that's _all_ it does. Everything plays out normally, just slower. Is there a point to this? Something I can do while time is slowed? (I verified that the level clock keeps running while in slow-mo.)

Bought two games from Steam while abroad

I live in Ireland but currently in Hong Kong. I bought Farcry 3 and Dishonored today on Steam and I'm wondering if it will work when I'm back in Ireland? When I was purchasing both games I just changed the billing address to the one I'm currently at in Hong Kong and it worked, the currency displayed are in dollars and not euros and there was no warning messages. I'm asking this question as I'm afraid those games could be region locked when I get back to Ireland and I end up wasting my money.

How do Gregtech machines explode from rain?

So I built a roof of leaves for my one house right? (I wanted to be different) Then it rained and I realized the leaves drip water when it rains, so I got worried about when I have machines in the house because Gregtech Machines supposedly explode from rain. I went into creative mode to test out if leaf roofs work or not. I put some greg tech machines out in the open, and some under a leaf roof, and turned on the rain using NEI. Good news is my leafroof works, odd news is the machines exposed to the rain did not explode, but they invariably lit on fire. They continued operating just fine while on fire though. Why did they not explode?

Which wall is the most plain and makes colors the most vibrant?

How to kill the Gluttonous Thresher?

How can I kill the Gluttonous Thresher? I died like 20 times and it's taking all my savings! I'm level 16 and can't kill it.

What is the second (blue) Pokémon movement option?

When using Organize Boxes, there are three buttons at the top that determine how to move Pokémon, the red (o), blue (o)<->(o) and green [88]-> buttons. Obviously, the red button is for normal movement and the green one allows you to select multiple Pokémon at the same time. However, I can't for the life of me figure out what the blue button is supposed to do. It seems to do the exact same thing as the red button. What am I missing?

Is there any way a griefer could overcome my 5-million-block quarantine?

I'm running a vanilla Minecraft (PC) server that some of my friends and I play on together. We've been looking to get more people to join us, but have been fairly unsuccessful so far. Listing the server publicly would almost certainly change that, but brings the risk of griefing. So my question is: if I simply set the spawn point far enough away from where we have so far built everything (say 5,000,000 blocks away), it would take very long to reach 0,0 even by horse in the nether. I'm thinking that would be sufficient protection for our existing village, if I'm not overlooking anything. **Is there a way to bypass or overcome this distance that I am not aware of?**


Watch Dogs: DX11 Error

I have installed watch dogs but when I launch the watch_dogs.exe. The game won't run and will give me the error: > WATCH_DOGS requires that your graphics hardware be compatible with DirectX > 11, and have the DirectX 11 runtime installed.

I have tried a fix by watching these videos but are of no use: Video 1 Video 2 The fix works for them but not for me. Is there any other problem?


Does it matter which floor I build in Tiny Death Star for supply and demand purposes?

I have seen answer question about Supply/Demand about Tiny Tower, but is this the same case in Tiny Death Star?

How many Swipes are too much in Arena?

I'm currently drafting a Druid deck in the Arena and I'm getting an absolutely huge number of Swipes offered. I have four of them already in my deck, and I just got a fifth offered at round 22 of the drafting. In the guides on Arena drafting I found Swipe is usually mentioned as an "always pick", but I would assume that there is a point where I should stop picking Swipe and pick something else. How many Swipes are still a good idea, and when should I stop picking Swipe?


Gangster and M1SMG, what is the difference?

I have Vigilante edition of Watch Dog, which include the Palace Pack, which give access to a thompson skinned, 4star assault rifle "M1SMG". Now, after completing QRCodes missions, I unlocked the "Gangster", which is a 4starts assault rifle skinned as a smg... I don t see any difference between the two of them, so the question is... Is there any difference between the Pack Palace M1SMG and the Gangster? If so, what are they? EDIT: Okay, wiki say M1 SMG is classified as SMG while the Gangster is classified as Assault rifle, so if nothing else come up, the difference would only be the ammo used. EDIT 2: It does seems the weapons are the sames, can anybody confirm that the color are the sames too? (Wiki says the Gangster have a "gold tint" while the M1 SMG have "wood stock").

Gunfights in Watch Dogs after beating the game

So I played and finished the story mode on Watch Dogs, and it was a wonderful experience, and I loved all the action - everything from car chases to gunfighting. Now, however, I am at a loss for how I can continue gunfighting. After doing several Gang Hideouts, they have become exceedingly rare (Likely because they offer Skill Points, and thus are limited encounters). Now all there are are Fixer Contracts, but most of these are car chases and the like. I am looking for something similar to the story missions and gang hideouts, where you can scout out an area and then either stealth around and kill them silently, or hack their grenades to make them blow up, or environmental hazards, or get locked in an all-out gunfight and so on. My first thought was to try and hunt the cops, which was easily achieved by shooting out a few tires on civilian vehicles (I'm Vigilante reputation - a good guy), but then I remembered that killing or even injuring cops causes you to lose reputation and become a bad guy... Thus, the fight with the cops eventually turned into a car chase. This was fun for a while, managing to get to 5 star wanted rating by switching cars as needed while the helicopter sniped me, but not what I was looking for. Now the game is becoming dull because car chases just don't do it for me, I want to sneak around and shoot people. Is there anyway to bring back the fun the story mode presented with its various gun-and-run scenarios? Perhaps a console command to make the cop-killing no longer affect your reputation, or to reset story progress without losing your weapons/accomplishments?


Was stranglehold region locked?

Was the game Stranglehold region locked? I have heard that it was going to be because of movie licensing issues, and i have also heard that the region lock was lifted due to consumer reaction.

Is it always possible to complete a pass or score a goal?

I've been playing Flick Kick Football Legends on my android phone lately. For those unfamilar with this game you have to flick a football past defenders to another player on your team. The game constructs mostly static scenes with your player usually behind a defender or two. Sometimes the players on both teams move from side to side in a fixed pattern. Your players can get various skills including harder kicks and better curves. Anyway, upon occasion the game constructs an arrangement of players that I believe it impossible to successfully pass the ball to your player without it being intercepted by the CPU player. Is this the case, or is every arrangement possible if only I flick and swerve the football in exactly the right way?

Path based signalling with dual-sided stations

I have just been introduced to Path Based Signalling (referred to as PBS) by a friend, and no matter how much I read I can't seem to figure out how to get a station to work properly which has trains coming in from both sides. I have ended up with using `Path Signal` behind each platform entrance to 'terminate' the reserved train paths to allow other trains to reserve a path across the signal block. I have included a screenshot to better illustrate my current way of working with these new signals. I have circled the `One-Way Path Signal`s to highlight them. ![OpenTTD dual-sided PBS station](http://i.stack.imgur.com/lHn2f.png) As you can see, this setup works okay as the first trains reserved path is terminated allowing the second train (grain/livestock) to enter the station. I'd like to know is this optimal, or even correct usage of these signals?

How do I get Ride Together Die Together?

The Ride Together Die Together challenge requires me to kill "Tumbaa" and "Pimon" within 10 seconds of each other. There's extremely little info about this challenge on the internet (no videos, best I can tell) but they are apparently named bosses who do _not_ always spawn, and if one spawns the other isn't always there. One is a Skag, the other is a Stalker. They apparently spawn in the Wildlife Exploitation Preserve, _not_ in the Natural Selection Annex ("creature slaughter dome"), so you don't need the DLC to reach it. What I do not know is _where_ these bosses spawn or how common they are. I've been through the preserve at least 4-5 times and never noticed these bosses. Where are they and what do they look like?


Will destroying the default Interbus Customs Office in low-sec, reduce standing with Interbus?

Recently Eve added Player owned Customs Offices (POCOs) outside of high-sec. By default, Interbus owns the Customs Offices outside of High-sec until a player comes along and destroys it, and then replaces it. Reading the instructions for the new POCOs, I wasn't sure if there would be any faction standing penalty for destroying the default Interbus Customs Offices. Is there any standing hit for destroying an Interbus Customs Office outside of High-sec?


What is the range of a Dart Trap?

I just had the best idea ever: A self-harvesting Glowing Mushroom farm using Dart Traps. However, since they don't exactly grow on trees, I'd like to use a minimum amount of Dart Traps for a maximum of Mushroom-covered ground. Does anyone know how far a Dart Trap can fire a poison dart? They just seem to go in a straight line, but is their range actually infinite, or does the dart drop to the ground or disappear at some point?

Secondary Skills for an Archer to focus on?

I am currently level 9 with my Bosmer Archer and after investing in Archery/Stealth i am starting to improve my gear. I want to avoid leveling too fast, so i want to focus on one Skill tree after the other. Between, Alchemy, Smithing, Enchanting, which one should i focus on? My concerns as a Skyrim Newbie: Alchemy: I will have to keep track of a Bazillion things. Plus most of the potions created will be vendored anyways. Smithing: I wear about 6-7 Items, each can be improved 1-2 times. How on earth can i do something useful while leveling without just spamming Daggers and selling them? Enchanting: This looks like its the most natural to level. Using enchanted Weapons, recharging them, capture Souls and creating different sets of gear. But will there be a good supply of Soulgems? So, which Route should i focus on?

Fallout:NV - technical issues

I was reading a review of Fallout: New Vegas, because I am planning to buy the game (for Xbox 360). But I was very disappointed when I learned that there are many bugs and glitches in the game. The review I read is here. Is this true? If so, is there any chance this gets fixed somehow? I do not know if it is possible to patch a game on Xbox like it is on PC. While I will probably still buy the game, I am wondering whether or not I should be prepared for a buggy gameplay experience.


Do doors slow dwarves down?

Say I had a corridor that was entirely filled with doors, would opening the doors to go through them slow my dwarves down?


What could cause a Minecraft portal to not work?

I have build two portals in Minecraft now, and neither of them seem to work. This is on a multi player server. They were built correctly, and they both have the purple portal tiles in the center. But, when I stand in the center of the portal, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?


Does Promethean magic destroy items on the ground?

AKA: "If I breathe fire on Diggles, will I charbroil my lutefisk bounty?" As you can see, I've lucked into quite the lutefisk stockpile here: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/nRNIn.jpg) My primary mode of diggle destruction, however, is to breathe a plume of all- consuming fire. I've been trying to avoid using it around items to date, because I'm not sure if it causes damage to them - it tends to catch the stone floor on fire, and that makes me think it's a _serious_ attack. That lutefisk sure looks tasty, too... Will I damage items on the floor if I use my fire breathing attack? Are there any attacks which damage items on the floor?


What is the meaning of this Bastion level (spoilers)

The Sole Regret is the level where the boy finds his shield, and his first stone statue. One of the levels (inside Jawson Bog I believe) is a copy of that level, with a different narrative. Instead of the good guy, the kid is portrayed as a burglar and a thief. I don't remember the wording exactly, but instead of `The Security takes him for a petty thief`, the narrative makes it obvious that he is a true thief. What is meaning of this alternate level? I thought that its meaning was that perhaps the kid _is_ the calamity itself, through his voyage of destruction throughout the world... however after this tiny level, I never found any other supporting evidence. Perhaps this happened in an alternate timeline somehow?


What is the purpose of the Red Star Power?

After using the Red Star Power in the "Gate" universe and collection all 100 purple coins, you get a new power star and then there are a few red star power pickups around the observatory. Is there any reason for this other than another method of travel around the observatory, or are they required to find some secret area?


What's the difference between the two Animus Hack kill streaks?

So there's two kill streaks, the **Animus Hack** and the **Silent Animus Hack**. > ### Animus Hack: > > When the STREAK counter reaches **9** , the ANIMUS HACK enables you to kill > whomever you want from a distance. > > You earn +100 points when you kill a non-TARGET Templar.   >  _(80 Abstergo Credits)_ > ### Silent Animus Hack: > > When the STREAK counter reaches **7** , the ANIMUS HACK enables you to kill > whomever you want from a distance. > > You earn +100 points when you kill a non-TARGET Templar.   >  _(80 Abstergo Credits)_ As you can see, the descriptions are practically identical except one is for 9 kills, the other, 7. **What's the difference between the two Animus Hack streaks?** I would have thought the **Silent Animus Hack** would have been more useful and easier to acquire since it requires less kills and the potential to be _silent_. I'm guessing it only counts **Silent** or **Incognito** kills and **Stuns** for the streak? The regular **Animus Hack** is more elusive and _not_ silent. I'm guessing it probably counts _any_ kill/stun? Both cost the same. Videos I've seen on the non-beta release just demonstrate its use for the most part but I couldn't tell the difference in any of them. I've only seen two guys online to be able to use it (with one actually killing me) but don't know what to think of it. Can anyone clear this up?


Getting Better -- Playing other races

So, I figure that the next step in getting better as a player is to play as the other races to get to know their strengths/weaknesses/openers/etc. Do you recommend this practice? What do you think about as you are doing it? Is there a good meta strategy that you recommend? Do you play scored games? Or do you play against AI to avoid getting crushed on record? Just wondering what you think?


How do I take down fast driving cars in GTA 4?

There are some fast driving cars I need to take down in GTA 4. For instance the first mission after > Niko found out that Michelle is an undercover cop and took him to an office, and a most wanted list from the police computer. The problem is those cars drive and turn so fast that I can barely keep up with them, let alone take them down. Shooting from the car doesn't help much either. Any advice?

Won't make friends

My miis just keep sitting in their apartment, if anything, asking questions or hanging out somewhere. I didn't include "making friends" in that list. If miis make friends, it's because someone asked them to. Most of the miis have the same, you know, personality. Is that why?

Vim Adventures Level 10 – Bottles of beer

I'm stuck on a 15-keystroke puzzle in Level 10: ![puzzle](http://i.stack.imgur.com/39Hrv.png) My register contain: ![registry](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3NzvW.png) My keyboard of available VIM commands is: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AijyE.png) I'm concerned I made this puzzle impossible by doing other puzzles in between: I come out exactly one keypress over par, and if I had the ability to re-yank the text I need and put one in the `""` register I'd be good. Sadly this text comes from a puzzle where you had to delete the text rather than yank it, and there's no place you can free-form paste your text; so I don't see a way to change where it sits in my registers. The best sequence I can arrive at is: `0``"3P``j``"3p``j``"7p``j``"4p` This comes out to 16 keystrokes which is one over par. I can't think of a way to optimize the motion commands, and I can't think of a way to shorten the pastes without rearranging my registers, which I don't seem to be able to do. Any tips for what it is I'm overlooking? Or have I messed up my save file?


Adding features in game dev tycoon

In Game Dev Tycoon, when you go to add features into your game, it will give you the little percentage next to the sliders which means you've added too many to do them all efficiently, but does this effect anything in any way? Are your review scores hurt by this? Are your sales of this game hurt by this? Does this matter at all, or should I just throw every single feature in to make an amazing game? Thanks!

Does the Rock Band 3 Midi-Pro Adapter work in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock?

Just recently got my MIDI-Pro Adapter, but it doesn't work in GH: Metallica, GH:5, GH: World Tour. I was thinking of buying GH: Warriors of Rock, but the GH wireless MIDI adapter that came with the Band Hero drums is appalling -- it drops notes all the time, whereas the MIDI-Pro in Rock Band 3 seems flawless. I e-mailed Activision support and they said they didn't know. So, does it work in Warriors of Rock? I can only guess that the answer is "No", but I would like somebody to verify it either way so I can purchase the game (or not).


Is it possible to rejoin an online dynasty game after a disconnection?

What are the tasks assigned to you in TaskMaker?

In the classic Mac Game TaskMaker you are assigned 10 tasks by the TaskMaker, if I remember correctly. I can't remember what the tasks were, and I can only find reference to the final task you are given. I completed the game almost 20 years ago, but I no longer have a Mac that will run it so go back and check. Better yet, if someone can point me in the direction of a walk through so I can relive it vicariously that would be awesome.


Is there a single mod that fixes many bugs in Dragon Age Origins?

The latest Dragon Age version for PC seems to still have a respectable number of bugs: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Bugs I've seen some mods that can fix this or that bug, but I'm looking for a more comprehensive solution. Is there a single mod out there that fixes many bugs, or alternatively can someone link to / provide a list of mods that need to be installed for fixing most of the bugs?
