Vehicle picture blocked buying online

If you go to each of the websites for buying vehicles, (Warstock, Elitas, Legendary, etc.) Some of the vehicles on each site have a symbol instead of a picture of the vehicle. For the cars from Los Santos Autos, it was believed that you had to steal them for Simeon first. However, there are two facts that contradict this:   1. Vehicles blocked with a symbol include vehicles from other sites, vehicles that Simeon doesn't want and you can't bring to him or steal and sell.   2. The Dinka Double T is one of the cars blocked by a symbol. I have not brought a Double T to Simeon but I was able to buy one from the website and have it delivered.  Does anyone know why certain vehicles have symbols over them?


Environment Analysis in Arkham Origins?

In Arkham Origins, the Environment Analysis hasn't been doing much. Is Environment Analysis only used for tagging datapacks and scanning the "A" symbol found around Gotham, or is there another use for it once you defeat a certain boss?


Hold items used when breeding

I specifically remember an item in one of the older games that would increase the chance of finding an egg when your Pokemon are at the daycare. But for the life of me, I cannot remember what that hold item was. Is this item still available in XY and if so, where can I find it? What other hold items are beneficial when breeding and what are there effects?


Does "increase damage sustained by target" apply fully or with reduction? Worth a second spell slot?

Is it worth starting a fight with a stun/CC missile stacked with an area "amplify received damage" before nuking them with my ricochet missiles. My partner (dual wield fighter) and I take down most groups pretty fast unless I get nuked/spiked with arrows. * * * _Life + Damage + Time = inceases damage sustained by target by xx%_ * * * Does this amount apply fully or is it reduced twice by enemy resists etc. Seems worthy casting this with AE or ricochet before every major fight that takes longer then 15 seconds... Which cc is more useful to make up for the time lost by casting an additional spell? Confuse, hypnotize, blind?


How to add more trains?

I nearly always see a complaint bubble at my passenger train station complaining of a need to add more trains to the schedule. Unfortunately I can't see anything to do with adding more trains to the schedule. Is there a way to do this? And would adding another train station help? ![Add more trains](http://i.stack.imgur.com/cENtY.png)


What happens when I block someone on Steam?

I'm 'away' for a week and would like some friends not to know I'm playing games. What does blocking a friend actually do? I'm just looking for it to show me as offline and not show what game I'm playing or if I'm online or not.


What are my options when I am drifting off into space?

Exp from Sizzling Summer Event

Is the Exp from the sizzling summer event given to a random skill, or can we chose which skill the exp goes to?


Does an obsidian block affect sound transmission?

So I was slime-hunting because I heard the sound of a slime through the wall. I kept digging, following the sound of the slime, until I dug down to a lava pit, surrounded by some stone. I safely went down to the area, and the slime sound was getting louder and louder. The area was pretty small, and I did not want to fall into the lava. I had a water bucket with me, so I poured it on the lava and it turned to obsidian. Then the slime sound stopped. No more. Nada. I turned around and went back home, quite sad. Later, I thought:   * Could the obsidian mute the sound of the slime?   * Maybe if I dig through the obsidian, I will be able to find the slime?


Can you dodge the blue shell?

I know you could dodge it in Mario Kart Wii by using a mushroom at just the right moment, but is there anyway to dodge it in Mario Kart 8? The same tactic does not appear to work in Mario Kart 8? So is there any way to dodge it?


Reset a player's progress on a server

I have a Minecraft server I've just started for a few friends. We're playing on hard, and I'm going to set it up so that players spawn with a few minimal items to get them going. Some of them jumped in briefly and logged out after less than 5 minutes last night. How do I reset their progress so that when next they log in, they spawn as if they have never logged in before and have the items I set new players to spawn with? I.E., how do I make the server forget that they were ever there?


How to achieve the Fuuu achievement?

Kega Fusion not quitting on "Escape" when launched with -fullscreen

I'm building an arcade cabinet, so there is no way to use Alt+F4 for quitting the emulator. I find several mentions, that Kega should quit on Esc, when launched with `-fullscreen`, but at least for me it is still toggling between fullscreen and windowed mode like it normally does. Anyone got an idea what is wrong? Solutions like rebinding keys to Alt+F4 don't work for me because of hardware limitations (Using I-Pac for key input)


Overcoming a ceiling in skill level

I've logged a little bit over 700 hours in Dota 2. Mostly playing with friends. I started out with watching videos from Purge and other and this really helped me improve. I also follow the streams from a few competitions, most notably the international right now. Though I have the feeling I learn less from that (probably because the live-commentators do not always have time explain the reasons behind choices pro players make, and because pro games techniques are not really applicable to normal games) Though I really enjoy the game I have the feeling that for the last six months I am no longer improving. While I have no intentions of becoming a competitive player and I do not care about my exact MMR I do wish to be able to keep up with my friends who continue to improve. I have the feeling that I've really hit a ceiling and I do not know what I should do to overcome it. A little about how I play. I can play most heroes ok, though I almost never play hard-carries (except Sniper) as I am unable to farm gold fast enough to be effective and tend to die a few times in the beginning. So I usually play a support role, I love Windranger, Keeper of the Light and Earthshaker. I think one of my strengths as a player is how I use Force Staff. In most games I see my play drastically improve when I get it and I'm usually able to both save myself and my carries from bad situations with it. However I do tend do die too much and have problems especially against very aggressive heroes and physical carries. I also have a hard time deciding what to do when nothing is really going on. As a support I do not want to be ganked and its hard jungling so in games where the enemy is mostly farming I tend to lag behind on gold. I think my biggest problems are: not being effective when nothing is going on. Unable to farm gold fast enough. Dying too much early game (maybe I want to harass too much) and not contributing enough to team fights in which the enemy team uses scary heroes (physical carries, Silencer, Doom). What resources are available to help me overcome these problems? Are there pro-players that sit down and explain advanced mechanics, or maybe explain how games went (preferably not live commentary). There seems to be a lot of info for newbies and some info for pros but in between its a bit barren.


Can I bring a turret through the teleporter at the end of Entanglement?

How do you associate your game play with your Rockstar Social Club account?

I have an Xbox live account, from which I play GTA. I also have a Rockstar social club account. However when I log into it, I don't see any statistics or even an indication that I own the game. Within the GTA universe, I received the perks of having a social club account (free garages and GTR). How are these two accounts associated?


How to pick up a SEAL team?

In the "Spec Ops" mission you are required to drop off one SEAL team and pick up another. I've been able to drop off the first team by going to the correct coordinates and raising the submarine's sail out of the water. However, I can't pick up the second team despite surfacing the sub and driving it almost over the top of them! ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/e1ZxB.jpg) ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AfA0B.jpg) I've tried raising the radio antenna but that doesn't seem to help either.

What is the grey dotted blight on some areas of my map?

Some of my houses sit on land that has a kind of grey dotted pattern, the pattern extends over their houses and any village who comes out of the house is already mopy and doesn't perk up when clicked on.

No Iron and Metal?

I've been playing Assassin's Creed IV and I am very low on Metal and Iron, and I need to defeat the forts on the South end of the map which are extremely hard. So I want to get better Hull Armor but I'm low on Iron mostly so what's the best way to get it ?? The Warehouses don't fill up on loot even after a long time after you've looted them, ships rarely have Iron or Metal, and I find it difficult to defeat Brigs or Man'o'Wars. And my Jackdaw has pretty crappy upgrades too.


Do I get more medals on Easy/Hard mode or does it matter?

I'm never quite sure whether it's easier to gain currency in hard or easy mode in games until I learn. In Lollipop Chainsaw do I get more/less medals by playing on Easy mode vs hard mode? If so, how exactly are they different?


Can I repeat the clock tower jumping puzzle on a different character for more loot?

The Halloween event added an _infuriatingly difficult_ jumping puzzle: The Mad King's Clock Tower. I managed to finish it yesterday on my air-specced Elementalist (that +35% movement speed helped!) and got a few items from the chest at the end. I completed it again today on that character and only got 8 Trick Or Treat bags. So I thought I'd try clearing it on my Guardian. After an hour of falling to my death, I'm about ready to ragequit. Do I get any new rewards if I clear it on a different character, or am I wasting my time?


How many rats does it take to get to the center of a corpse-pop?

I'm starting a ghost/non-lethal run of Dishonored and I know I need to avoid rats eating my victims. I've noticed that single rats do not _appear_ to go after corpses, but big swarms definitely do. So how many rats is enough to start eating corpses? I've noticed they only seem to eat corpses in "swarms" that will also attack the player. ~~But leaving a single or just a couple rats alive around bodies is okay...right?~~ from further experience it appears that, rarely, randomly spawned rats may be enough to kill unconscious people! I found four rats in the general area of a dead guy, however I'm not 100% sure the rats killed him, as his corpse wasn't eaten to the bone, and I didn't see the rats attack him. It'd be extra useful to know whether or not randomly spawned rats will spawn in great enough numbers to kill an unconscious person.

What does the "Portal funnel" option do?

In Portal, there's an in-game option called "Portal funnel" with a painfully simple description: > The computer helps you aim into floor portals. I don't understand what this is supposed to mean. Does "aim" refer to the portal gun crosshair? No, turning it off doesn't disable the crosshair. Why would I "aim into floor portals"? I can't shoot a portal into an area if it's already occupied by the other portal. As I toggle it on and off while playing through the game, I don't notice anything different, so what really is this meant to do? It should be noted that this option is completely absent in Portal 2. I'm assuming it's enabled by default somehow, since it's also on by default in the first Portal and they pretty much use the same portaling engine (and the same portal gun).


How are the positions of the tiles determined?

Better Information On Defense Damage Clash of Clans

The way that Clash of Clans chooses to convey information about how much damage defense buildings output is bad. The current method of telling the user that a mortar does X dmg a second is pretty worthless since they fire much slower than once a second. Where can I find a break down / what is the damage break down for how much damage these buildings do per **shot** rather than per **second**? Sure, information on each level of the buildings would be nice but if that is too much I think simply providing the data for level one of each building would also work.


Skyrim Is there any mod or command to reset all towns?

Modern Warfare 3 crashes my computer in the middle of game

This might be a really specific question, but I've searched online and found many solutions that don't work, so this is sort of my last resort before formatting my computer. This is my setup:   * Graphics card: EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 570 HD (Running dual monitors)   * Memory: 8GB GSKILL Ripjaws X Series   * CPU: i5 2500k OC'd to 4.5    * MOBO: ASRock P67 EXTREME4 The game crashes **only** under 3 separate circumstances:   1. When I finish a match in multiplayer   2. When I finish a mission in single player   3. When I get on an AC-130 (be it single player or multiplayer) And I'm running it in max settings. The really annoying thing that makes it hard to test is that it doesn't happen every time (AC130 does, but unfortunately I don't get it every time). And by crash I mean fully crash, it doesn't send me to the desktop, both screens go blank and I have to turn off and back on the computer. Any suggestion is extremely welcome, even if it's just a way to reproduce the problem every time would help me a lot for testing purposes. Thanks! EDIT: I started a bounty. More details about the crash:   * It usually happens on explosions (cars, concussive, AC130 big gun) but it's not limited to that, sometimes it happens out of nowhere, other times when game starts or ends.   * I tried without overclocking and it didn't work   * I tried it with the game's "Safe Mode" and it crashed too (not that safe I guess)   * Updated my mother board's audio drivers and have latest video card drivers   * Crash happens roughly once every hour   * Screen goes blank and I can still hear half a second of the last sound in the game being repeated over and over (an exaggerated example of this is if the guy said "Target down" I will hear "down,down,down,down,down,down" until I restart my computer, without exagerating I would probably hear "n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n")   * Video card fan speeds up like crazy and gets really noisy   * The temperature of my video card is usually around 80 degrees, but that's with every game so I don't think heating is the problem   * I have two monitors. I disabled on of them and it didn't fix the problem   * I turned off antialiasing and some other effects in the advanced video settings, and I still go the crash   * Erased MW3, re-downloaded and re-installed it, and it crashed on the first game I tried   * Took out my CPU overclocking and it still crashed   * Video card is overclocked by manufacturer see here   * Crash is not logged in the Windows' Event Viewer   * I'm not 100% sure, but I sort of remember the problem started after some Windows update, after that Windows update Skype also started acting up (as soon as I picked up a phone call, Skype would crash, I had to download the next version's beta to get rid of that problem)   * Steam overlay is disabled, and it still crashes I'll post more details as I remember them. Also these are some of the games I usually play or have played, and I have had no problems with them:   * Starcraft 2   * Skyrim   * Call of Duty 4   * Call of Duty MW2   * Borderlands   * Left 4 Dead 2   * Payday   * The Witcher 2   * Civilization V   * Batman Arkam Asylum (Although this one drops frame rate drastically only on boss battles, weird too. It doesn't crash though)   * Counter Strike Source   * Portal   * Portal 2   * Half-Life 2   * Deus Ex Human Revolution   * Among others Thanks! More news: By **changing the game's sound from "Windows Default" to "Stereo"** I was able to reduce the occurrence of this problem to once every 3 to 5 hours, however, the problem persists. If is a clue to anyone, your advice is really appreciated. Thanks. It just crashed again a few minutes ago according to the log, at 8:05pm and this is the only info I get in the event viewer: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/qVyv2.png) The ones above it say (from bottom to top):   * Unable to produce a minidump file from the full dump file.   * The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000116 (0xfffffa800addb4e0, 0xfffff8800fa0afa4, 0xffffffffc000009a, 0x0000000000000004). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: .   * (Critical)The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.   * Audit events have been dropped by the transport. 0 **EDIT:** So the bounty is about to end, and I didn't get any conclusive solution. I will keep trying to fix this, and will post my solution once I'm find the solution. I hope this helps anyone have the same problem. Thanks for everyone's time, you guys have been really helpful, I will let you all know when this is fixed. **EDIT - FINAL UPDATE** It was a strange form overheating. I call it strange because it crashes soon after it gets to 80 degrees, but I've played other games (Startcraft 2 for example) at around 86 degrees without problems, which is why I disregarded this possibility right away. Lately I've been setting the GPU fan to spin as fast as it can using MSI Afterburner, and I haven't had any crash since. I was able to set back the audio to Dolby 5.1, put back the steam overlay and everything. So I can happily play now. Thanks everyone for all your help, I learned a lot from this experience, and although the problem and solution were somewhat simple (except for the fact that other games run all right when the GPU is warmer) I hope it helps others having any issue addressed here. Thanks again and happy gaming.


How do I join the Thieves' Guild in Skyrim?

How do the "Walking Trees" attack?

I know that they can hit you with their branch and to put out flowers that will open and release poisonous gas. What is not clear is when will those flowers open. I've tried to experiment with it. Sometimes they will only open when I walk past them, sometimes they will open just like that. Sometimes they will not open until the tree is dead and sometimes they will open during the fight. How exactly do those flowers work? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/5zG5T.jpg)


How do I do a Big Air?

In a _Trials Fusion_ Big Air Skill Game, how do you make a good big air?

I am hitting Y and the end of the jump as the game suggests, but it's not making much of a difference. Do I need a better bike, or do I need to do something else to get air?

Slow / Low fps at pipboy inventory, crafting menus, NPC talk, shopping menu etc, how to fix?

For no apparent reason, my inventory or dialog options etc; all the 2D menus (FalloutNV is 3D but menus are 2D), become utterly slow, while outside of these menus the game (3D) runs smoothly good; Also, when dialog with NPC is beggining, the 2D menu is slow and the 3D of the NPC becomes slow too! **Workarounds that wont completely stop the problem**   A) - Sometimes if I open the console and type `pcb` the inventory becomes fast and usable again;   B) - another thing that helps is to: 1) open console; 2) click on a container; 3) type at console `player.removeallitems 012345` (where 012345 is the container id that you just clicked); This also helps to fix FPS problems on 3D normal gameplay. But other times these wont work, forcing me to restart the game (close/run again), what takes about 2min :( I have mods installed to change the pipboy menu, but there is nothing installed to change shopping and crafting menus, so I cant link it as the source of the problem... Any idea what I could look for? My guess is it could be related to graphics configurations, but I already turned off Antialiasing (to fix VATS that for no reason used to become unusable). I researched a lot and made several tests to no avail :(

What are the mechanics for bullying city states?

Two things are required to bully a city state: high military power relative to the other main civs, and nearby military power. This begs two questions: How high do you need to be in military power? top 50 percent of civs? within 25 percent of leading civ? I assume its based on the soldiers demographic. How close does a unit have to be in order to influence a civ toward giving tribute?


Where can I find all of the hidden socks?

I'm playing "Pajama Sam 1: No Need to Hide when it's Dark Outside", and there is an optional task to find 8 socks throughout the game. I'm fairly certain that it unlocks some sort easter egg at the end of the game. Where can I find all of the socks?


How do I unlock all of the promotional content?

I read There are four promotional unlocks in Borderlands 2. What are they? and was wondering if there are (legitimate) ways otherwise to unlock this exclusive content. I've also been thinking about how the players that I've seen speed-running this game all use a sniper rifle that seems to be rewarded by the Premiere Club promotion. So, being able to unlock that content would help speed-runners who didn't pre-order the game.   I suppose that the answer to this question should include (mention of) SHiFT codes.


Can I still level my Sneak skill while wearing Boots of Muffling?

I found the Orcish Boots of Muffling inside a chest earlier, and the description says something along the lines of the boots silencing my footsteps.

Dead Rising 3's co-op difficulty when players are of different levels

I am in chapter 7 now, and on level 34, and a friend is buying the game today so we are planning on playing the entire campaign in co-op. However, I have discovered that zombies that just roam the streets have upped their difficulty as my game progressed. As an example, police zombies that fired their handgun randomly in the start now carry shotguns and there are also SWAT-like zombies that have assault rifles. I don't know if this change of difficulty happened because I leveled up or because I moved to different chapters. What happens if I, with my level 34 player team up with my level 1 friend, who just started the game, will the difficulty ramp up likewise or will I just be a bit more powerful than him, but playing on his difficulty?

The Dalokohs Bar - HP Buff calculation and mechanics

I just FINALLY received this item last night and seeing as I'm a fairly frequent Heavy player, I'm curious as to the mechanics of the HP boost.   * Does the HP boost stack with the medic-gun, giving you a feasible 500 point health pool?   * After the buff duration expires, do you automatically lose 50 HP no matter what HP you were at originally, or will it only remove up to 50 so that you're sitting at 300 ( - 450 if being healed by a medic at the time)?   * Similarly, if you're brought below 300 HP while the buff lasts and then pick up a health pack / resupply / sit on a dispenser, will you go up to 350, or only 300 (again, more if being healed by a medic).   * If it removes 50 regardless of your current HP total, is it possible to outright die when it expires if you are sub 50 HP? Or will it leave you at 1? Short version, does the bar give you +50 max HP for the duration, or a one- time 50 HP boost?

How many such divisions are there for each level?

Please can someone help me i have just built this computer and i can't seem to figure this out.


What are the differences between Defense of the Ancients (DotA) and League of Legends (LoL)?

I played a lot to League of Legends (>1000 hours) and I am going to try DotA now. Speaking about **gameplay** only, it would be really helpful for a newbie knowing what are the main differences between `Defense of the Ancients` (DotA) and `League of Legends` (LoL)?


What is "copying a frog" in Pocket Frogs?

In Pocket Frogs, I keep hearing about keeping copies of frogs. How do you copy a frog? I just started this game a couple of days ago so I'm still trying to learn.


If I buy a Humble Bundle not beating the average, can I later pay more to beat it and get the extra games?

So lets say, I buy the Humble Bundle with Android 7 (the current one at this moment), but I don't pay above the average, I obviously won't get the extra games. But can I go back and pay more later to get the extra games if I already made a purchase? E.g. if I now pay $1, but later the average price is $4, will I only need to pay the remaining $3, or would I need to pay the full $4 on top of the $1? Or will I need to make another purchase? Also, since now for the second tier it is mandatory to have paid above the average, will I be able to pay more in the second week if I want the second tier games? All this is because at the moment, I am not interested in the current extra games (Bards Tale, and Worms Reloaded), but if in the second week they add better games, I would like to be able to get them.


After defeating an enemy, the flavor text will say things like " _leaving behind a substantial amount of scrap_ " or " _you collect what scrap you can_ ". I know that ships drop different scrap rewards [low, medium, and high] based on how you defeat them (killing the crew drops more scrap than destroying the ship, for example). **Does the flavor text indicate which rewards I got?** and if so, what flavor text corresponds to which rewards?

How do I proceed past this point in the last mission?

I'm on the last mission of XCOM: Enemy Unknown. I just defeated two Sectopods, and now I'm not sure how to go any farther. The area up ahead is dark, and the game won't let me move any further. Here is a screenshot of where I'm at: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mwIhF.jpg) Do you know what I can do in order to proceed? I've tried reloading my last save, and also reloading an earlier save (from just before I attacked the Sectopods). I haven't tried restarting the mission yet, and I'd like to avoid that if possible, but that is something I could try I suppose. If it matters, I'm playing on OS X via Steam, and don't have Enemy Within installed.


What is this creepy place?

So I'm playing Terraria 1.2, delving in the underground beneath a regular ol' Forest biome, when suddenly I stumble into this place. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Gku6z.png) The cute little critter at the bottom is a Cochnial Beetle. The background is completely different from any underground biome I've ever seen, and I can't find this biome listed in the page of biomes. What is this?


How can I force a dragon to engage in combat?

Many times in the game i've found myself looking at a flying dragon kind of trolling me. Sometimes the dragon just keeps flying around in circles or ovals without landing or even atacking me. I've tried to walk around to nearby locations and to the points where he stops for a while, but it usually does not work and I ignore him and keep walking until we both get far enough for him to disappear. Why does this happen? Is it a terrain issue? I mean, since the game is enormous, they probably couldn't find a way to make dragons fight in _every_ place, so you kind of have to reach an `fight area` so that a dragon will atack you and engage in combat. Is this it? Is there any way i can force them to atack me other than using "Dragonrend" which is too late-game for most of my characters?


Graphic noise in Wii games - Skyward Sword most recently

I've noticed some graphic noise during a number of Wii games. A bit in Wii Fit, New Super Mario Bros., and most recently Skyward Sword. I don't play often enough to bother me but the amount of time I've sunk in to Zelda has prompted me to ask the collective Internet. I have this Wii hooked up via component cable. I had the Wii repaired / replaced by Nintendo a few years ago and, honestly, I can't remember if this problem popped up when I got the new console or if this started later. It almost seems like certain rendering cases cause it. With Zelda for instance, it's much more prominent when I'm in the clouds. Wii Fit, on the main menu. Mario, I remember this showing up during levels only. Anyone else seeing this? ![ALL THAT NOISE](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tecEu.jpg)


How exactly does suppressing enemies work?

I chose to concentrate my skill points in the _Enforcer_ skill tree, which has the _Oppression_ skill. It can make weapons "more effective at suppressing enemies". To further understand how to take advantage of the 'Oppression' skill, I have these questions:   * Do I have to hit enemies before they get suppressed or will just firing in their general direction get them suppressed?    * How do I optimally lay down suppressing fire (for the different weapon types)?   * What exactly happens to enemies or what do they do when they get suppressed?    * What are the changes when I make my weapons "more effective at suppressing enemies"? (by putting skill points into the Oppressor skill [for Basic and Ace])


How can I force Minecraft to only spawn monsters from spawners?

I'm making an adventure map in Minecraft, so I've put a lot of mob spawners to make them spawn where I want them to, but they also keep spawning where I don't want them to spawn, messing up with mob and non-mob zones. Lighting everything up is not a option, as most of the map is meant to be dark. Is there a way to do this, perhaps with a mod?


Do any Food businesses have stock times over one hour?

I've noticed that in Tiny Tower most of the Food category businesses have very short restock times and thus very low stock count. Any time I don't check the game for more than 15 minutes my restaurants are always out of stock, and I'm usually out of stock before I can stock a second item. I found the Donut Shop actually has very deep stock with long restock times; two hours to restock almost 3000 bearclaws. Do any other restaurants have stocks this large?


What is this floating obelisk thing?

What is this thing? Is it dangerous? Is it useful? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0UqOf.png) I've scoured the Technic Pack Wiki and I'm stumped. I don't even know which of the pack's mods this thing comes from. The page on obelisks I _did_ find appears to be an entirely different structure. This thing I'm looking at is not a Mystcraft obelisk – they aren't connected to the ground, and in any case I've found them in my overworld too. They're definitely from some other mod in the pack. I haven't had the courage to mess with them yet (apart from walking around under it and learning that I don't immediately explode or turn into a zombie), but I've just found a Mystcraft world where there are a half-dozen right around the spawn – if I can exploit them somehow I've hit the motherlode.

Any issues with *really* long series of hoppers?

I need to transport about 30 double chests of material about 1000 meters in single player minecraft. I was thinking of building some sort of permanent transportation system to accomplish this. I prefer dirt simple (but potentially resource heavy) contraptions over complicated "efficient" contraptions. Because of this, I was thinking of just setting up a string of 1000 hoppers in a row, to move the material from one place to another. My question: What will happen at the loaded/unloaded chunks with such a setup?


How many Stardust are there, and what do I get for collecting them all?

I am playing through legend of dragoon (for the playstation 1) and forgot how many stardust there are in the game. Additionally, would someone be able to provide the rewards for each amount of stardust collected? I think that there are around 50, and the collection of all of them unlocks a secret boss, but I am not too sure.


Timeout issue on LAN Multiplayer with Age of Empires II: The Conquerors on Windows 7

I'm attempting to connect to me and my brother's computer to play our old Age of Empires II The conquerors through our LAN connection. The thing is sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Almost always it doesn't. We are always able to see each others games, but when either one of us clicks "join" and the loading screen comes up, we wait 15 seconds and then see a pop- up sending us back to the main page saying "Unable to connect" We have tried multiple things to fix this,   1. Set the compatibility of the .exe file to Windows Vista (Service Pack III) even though we both have Windows 7   2. Turned off our firewalls   3. Direct Connect through Static IP addresses.   4. Direct Connect through Hamatchi VPN tunnels. None of these have changed anything. It still supposedly "times out" with the pop up message "Unable to Connect" Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Sorry if it's a re-post, I've spent a lot of time looking for the solution and have been unsuccessful.

Why do I have to lay the controller on a flat surface?

When I start Skyward Sword (its the only MotionPlus game I have, others that use it are probably similar) it always asks me to lay the MotionPlus controller on a flat surface for a bit before it starts, then it asks me to point the controller at the center of the screen and press A. I don't have to do this for games that don't use MotionPlus, so what exactly is happening here?

Hacking Vehicles in Watch Dogs

I have been playing Watch Dogs since it came out and i recently did the mission called "Not A Job for Tyrone" and my friend did this mission to. But what i wanted to ask about is how i hack a car. What i mean by that is, everytime i steal a car, i need to break the glass to get into the car. But my friend does only need to press Triangle (on PS4) and he just opens the car like if he has the keys to unlock it. But i do not have it. We've done the same missions and everything but still, nothing. Is it maybe because i haven't unlocked any ctOS towers? Thanks.


Does the Archery buff work for guns, too?

Consuming an Archery Potion will grant the Archery buff, which according to the in-game text, will "increase arrow damage and speed". Does this buff work for guns and bullets, too? Does it apply to ranged weapons in general or only arrows fired from bows and repeaters?


Started game before trophy support; after update (which adds trophies), they still can't be earned?

_First off, sorry for the vague title, but I can't find a good way to describe this situation in brief._ Recently my brother and I began playing _Uncharted_ on PS3 (yes I realize we're 7 years late.) When we started the game we were told to update, but we were so eager to play we decided to forego what we thought would be a lengthy download. We had done it before on other games plenty of times and never had any problems. Besides it doesn't matter if we download it later, right? Perhaps not... We played for a while, and truly enjoyed the game. Once we began to get tired, we closed the game and decided to leave the PS3 downloading and installing the update. That's when we found the sad, and ironic, truth: the update was under 15MB, and this is where the trouble began. The next time we started the game, we were happy to know that trophy support had been added. Looking through the list of available trophies we saw that there was one we already qualified for, and another we could earn momentarily. We had already found a treasure or two, so we expected the First Treasure trophy to pop as soon as the game booted. It didn't. I figured the game wasn't counting yet (which I could understand), so we started playing again and quickly found another piece of treasure, but still First Treasure did not pop. Flabbergasted, we tried to reason this out, and figured perhaps it only worked on your first treasure ever. If we really needed it, we'd make a new save file and quickly grab it. Then things got scary. After playing for a while we hit two other trophies whose criteria we had not met earlier. They were Beginner Fortune Hunter and 10 Headshots. The in-game messages* notified us of the achievements, but the trophies did not unlock. * The game has its own award system that is separate from the PSN trophy system. That said most achievements mirror directly to a corresponding trophy. In short it seems that although the game has updated and added trophy support, we still can't earn any trophies. What can be done in a situation like this? We're not _so_ desperate for trophies that we'd go to _any_ extreme to get them, but if there is a simple solution, I'd love to hear it. :)


Can't Switch Teleport with ally players?

Is this a bug or intended? The Wikia reads that Switch Teleport should work on other players in-game, yet even if I have one lined up in my sights, about 5m away, Switch Teleport will invariably read "Target not Valid". Which is why I am confused, is there something that needs to be done before I can switch teleport with friendly players? I have a max ranked Switch Teleport, which gives me a 75m switch range.


Is there a way to prevent animals from escaping a fenced area?

It seems that animal mobs (sheeps, cows, pigs) are trying to break out of my fence instead of going in the middle and moving around. This makes it really frustrating when trying to mate the animals because they break out right when I open the fence gate. Is there a way that I can keep them from scrunching up on the side of the fence and frustrating me, or is this something I'll have to deal with?


Why doesn't my PS3 recognize I'm pressing buttons while playing Skyrim?

I'm trying to play Skyrim on my PS3 but since it said I have to press the "X" button to go to the main menu it doesn't work,even when it worked my controller won't listen to me because it just made me walk into a wall. So I pressed the start button and it started working again. But then when I tried to press "O" it wouldn't go back into the game. BUT it only happens on skyrim and sometimes works for a amount of time only.


Does throwing things at enemies deal damage?

The Tutorial in Deus-Ex: Human Revolution briefly mentions the ability to throw move-able objects at enemies.

How long do Wrinklers need to suck before popping?

I'm currently at 5 Halloween cookies, and 552 Wrinklers popped. On a different machine, I am seeing similar poor performance. According to the below chart, the odds of having this happen are negligable of me having so few Halloween cookies/ Wrinkler popped. I have traditionally been popping the wrinklers as soon as I see the CPS turn red, but I'm wondering if I'm just popping them too soon. Is there a certain amount of time that they need to suck, or am I just plain unlucky? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AClOH.png)

Shield effect on Mantra of Healing?

After today's patch I've noticed that whenever I cast Mantra of Healing I got a shimmering bubble around me and my followers, at first I took it simply as an added effect to show that I have the Sustenance rune equipped, but at one point I was hit by a fireball just after using the Mantra and the damage was absorbed which I have not experienced before, leading me to the conclusion that my Mantra somehow did it. However, the description does not state any damage absorption nor do I even have access to the rune that actually adds a shield. So is this a bug? or a new effect that the tooltip hasn't been updated with?

So it's his game, but I can just install onto my Xbox and he can keep the disks, so we can both play the game. If it is possible, can you please give me instructions on how to download it. Thank you.

Is there anything after the Puzzle Quest 2 Ending? (Spoilers)

I just beat Puzzle Quest 2--at least, I think I did. I have beaten all side quests (except the repeating 'loot the chest' one), and beaten all main quests. I got the 'ending' of 'we must remain vigilant' or such. Is this really all there is to the game? Am I missing something? It keeps showing me a main quest trying to send me down to the place where I loot chests--but nothing more. Am I done?


How do I run Starcraft 2 on an Asus Eee PC netbook?

I know it doesn't meet the minimum specs but there is a video of it working and I'm willing to delve into some workarounds to make this happen. It installed without error but gave a message about being below minimum specs (as expected.) I upgraded the system memory to 2G and tried to attach the VGA cable to a external screen at 1024x768 but when I go into the game I get a "video unsupported" message by the display. Can anyone provide steps/help to get this to run?


Is it possible to max out every household in Anno 1701?

In Anno 1701, is it possible to max out every household with all the numerous goods they need to reach the max level? It seems like an infinite spiral - the higher up the ladder I want to go, the more production buildings are needed to satisfy all the needs. The more production buildings I build, the more money they spend and I need to build more households to get income. And more households eventually need more production buildings simply because of sheer numbers... I always try max out everything, but I soon run into huge debts. Maybe I shouldn't? Or is there always a "sweet spot" where a maxed-out society is self-sustaining? The screenshots always feature these beautiful huge cities with maxed-out buildings, but I cannot imagine how they got there - I run out of money a long time before that. What's the right strategy? P.S. What about other similar games? I've had the same problem in CivCity Rome, so I think it's a rather broader flaw in my thinking, then just the inability to grasp the particular game.


How do I use a headphone or a speaker with a 3.5MM analog audio jack (TRS connector), with a TV that doesn't have an analog output for the audio jack?

I connected my PS3 to my TV through HDMI. I have a headphone and an external speaker, both with a TRS connector (3.5MM analog audio jack) that I would like to use with the PS3. My TV, however, doesn't have an output port for the TRS connector/audio jack, so I am forced to use the TV's speakers.

Which projectiles and/or AoE's can be dodged by going invis?

As a Templar Assassin, Bounty and Weaver player (among others), I'm never sure which projectiles I should be running/blinking away from, and which I could just dodge by becoming invisble. Furthemore, is there a rule as to which AoE spells hit invisible heroes? I know Kunkka's dreaded Tidebringer does, but are there any that don't? As the full list must be long, is there a rule to tell which can be dodged so I can work it out in game ? Something like _All auto attacks can be dodged by using invisibility_ or _All magical projectiles can be dodged by going invisible e.g. Sven's stun_ ; or something more complex. Thanks.

Counter-warding: how to know where wards are?

Pro players seem to have some sixth sense when counter-warding, but I always seem to fail. For observer wards, you can try the usual ward spots (runes/rosh/hills).... however, if your five-man push fails because the enemy saw you coming, there are a lot of possible ward spots you may have walked by. And how about countering sentry wards to protect a riki/gondar/brood?

Can my original 2005 Xbox 360 Media Remote control my TV?

I found an Xbox 360 Media Remote ("minimote") that came with the first batch of original Xbox 360s back when the dinosaurs were alive (c. 2005). It looks like it was designed as a DVD/video remote. I know the new media remotes and universal controllers can both control the television (turn it off/on, change volume), but can this older version be programmed to do this too? I found "TV codes" online for the original remote, but no instructions on how to get the remote to pair with the 360 or the TV. Is this remote even capable of turning the television off (or any other interaction with the television) and how can I set it up? It's the _little one on the left_ (just not in Japanese): ![360 remote, WP Commons, Tsukihito, cc-by- sa-3.0](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Clwqj.jpg) **Image:** WP Commons, Tsukihito, cc-by-sa-3.0

What are those goblins doing out there?

My fortress is currently under siege by some goblins and some trolls. The trolls obligingly rushed my trap maze, although sadly they all got caged before they reached the goblin grinders. Anyway, I'm getting ready to have some fun with them, but the two goblin squads are just sitting outside doing nothing, or having tea maybe, whether the doors to my fort are open or closed. This happened on the last siege too, and I lost a lot of civilians because the goblins wouldn't come politely to be killed. If it matters, the only way into my fort is through the traps, which previous goblins have "encountered". I had the opposite problem on my previous fort, where goblins routinely charged in. However, if I remember correctly, that one had a non-trapped entrance which I could seal off with a bridge. So: are the goblins not rushing in because their only routes are through traps? Or is there something else I should be doing?


Can I change the icon for a game in the Windows Games Explorer?

Windows Vista and Windows 7 have a Games Explorer that downloads additional details for some games, such as the ESRB rating, recommended WEI score, game description and cover art which is used as the icon.

Is there any way to download cover art for games that are missing it or just edit the icon more generally?


Which purchasable houses have access to alchemy / enchanting / smithy / cooking?

Do tank bullets inflict damage on other tanks and jets in Battlefield 3?

When I'm in a tank and manning the gun on top, I'm often confused as to what I should be doing when an enemy jet or tank starts getting to close to my position. I often open fire on them and try to inflict as much damage as possible. However, as far as I can tell, they're not doing anything at all. Am I mistaken, and can I actually hurt jets and tanks using tank bullets(not shells)? Or should I be focusing on checking for nearby engies or other soldiers?

How to get the full resolution in windowed mode?

When running Dishonored in windowed mode it does not use the full selected resolution - e.g. when I select 1920x1200 (which is also my native resolution) the window does not span the full width of my screen. Since I usually use GameCompanion to convert full-size windows to fake fullscreen (like in WoW etc.) this is annoying as it doesn't work - most likely due to the fact that the window is too small. So I wonder if there's a way (such as an INI tweak) to make the game window use the full resolution I selected in the options.

Is there any way to reveal the entire minimap?

If I remember correctly, Civilization 4 offered some technology that revealed the entire minimap. It didn't break fog of war, but at least it allowed you to see where all the cities were and what the terrain was like. So far in Civilization 5, I haven't seen any equivalent to that. I just decided to have a go on the largest size map, and exploring has been daunting, to say the least. Is there any technology I can keep in mind that will fill in any gaps that are left from my exploration efforts?


Would I need a hacked PSP to run custom translation patches?

There's currently work being done for the Puela Magi Madoka Magica PSP Game to have an English translation. It's still not done yet. However, in general, if a Japanese PSP game had an English patch for it, would I need a hacked PSP?


Where can I find the Quantum Moon?

I've managed to explore every last planet I've found in _Outer Wilds_ , but I can't seem to find the last Unexplored Location in my computer. ![Computer screen showing Unexplored Location](http://i.stack.imgur.com/zYn8k.jpg) I know from this question that the name of that location is the Quantum Moon. The problem is, I have no idea how to find it. I'm beginning to suspect it is the moon that changes shapes when no one is watching it, and it may be invisible. I'm starting to suspect the moon is actually the Night Vale Clock Tower, because I just can't see it. **How do I find this (possibly) invisible, (possibly) teleporting moon?**


Why don't players drone scout in ZvZ?

I know that in professional play, a lot of players don't scout with a Drone in ZvZ. As a gold league zerg player, I like to go hatch first, but I usually worker scout anyway because I'm worried that my opponent will do a <10 pool on me. At high levels of play, I've seen players go hatch first without drone scouting in ZvZ. I'm wondering if it's possible to hold, for example, a 6 pool, with a hatchery first build. Is it okay to use one of my drones for scouting at low levels of play, or is it really that important? How can pro players go for economic builds without knowing if their opponent is cheesing or not?


Display "Name" instead of Gamertag on Xbox dashboard

My dad got an Xbox for Christmas, and set up his local profile as "Dave." He wanted to be able to download some free DLC for Rocksmith, and added a Silver Live account to that profile. However, now that profile has the auto-generated gamertag attached to it, instead of "Dave," and displays as such on the dashboard. My dad has no plans to use multiplayer or add any friends -- is there a way he can still just have his profile named "Dave?" Or does the Xbox Live Silver gamertag basically prevent that? Failing that, will DLC downloaded to the console be playable with a non-Live account? I'm thinking I could use my profile to download the expansions and he can simply play the game.


What are the differences between the characters?

When you begin a level, you have the option to select one of four characters. What are the differences between these four characters? They don't appear to be purely cosmetic, as the third one (short girl with dusters) has a triple jump, which none of the others have. ![Four Janitors](http://i.stack.imgur.com/DZNVQ.png)

Is there a god mode for Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

I just finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It was awesome. Is there a god mode for this game? I would love to play this game and be able to explore around without getting killed all the time but I can't find a way to turn on any "cheats". I found something called "trainers" but they seem like Trojan horses to me. Don't game companies enable "cheat" modes for their games anymore?


Will I get trophies for clearing lower difficulties if I play on a higher difficulty?

On the PSN version of _Space Invaders Infinity Gene_ , there are 5 difficulty trophies, one each for Easy, Normal, Hard, Insane, and Nightmare. If I clear the game on Nightmare, do I automatically get the trophies for Easy/Normal/Hard/Insane, or would I have to go through and do a full playthrough of each difficulty?


How can I more consistently pop enemies into the air as a soldier?

Now that I (finally) have The Reserve Shooter I've become interested in aerials, the ability to launch an unsuspecting player into the air and then do horrible mini-crit related things to them before they land. A few minutes experimentation reveals that I'm very bad at it. Specifically, I can consistently get dingalings when using the rocket launcher or the black box, but the hits don't seem to result in the enemy launching waaaaaay up in the air so that I can perforate them with the Reserve Shooter. **What can I do to increase the chances that my rockets will pop enemies into the air?**


Where can I find Equipment?

So I just noticed the equipment value (Eqmt) in my character status. It says 1 piece of equipment raises your level by one.

Simultaneous two player mode

I bought Skylanders Giants for my kids and they've done something to make it so that in two player mode they can't play at the same time, something they've been able to do before. They press the `-` button on either the Wii U gamepad or Wii controller to swap to the other player. How can I make it simultaneous two player again?


What are all the effects of hacking a system?

I've noticed that the hacking drone sometimes provide additional benefits while hacking a system in addition to removing it from play for a while. For example, hacking an medbay will cause the room to damage instead of heal. Hacking a battery will drain power rather than provide power. What are the effects of hacking on each system/subsystem?


Missing textures in Naval Strike maps

I did a clean install of my pc, installed origin and then Battlefield 4. After starting BF4 it kept prompting me to install the expansion packs. When I clicked the link it would bring up origin and do nothing. After a few tries the waiting icon appeared but still nothing happend. Sometimes it started updating but then it would tell me that the update failed after a few seconds. For some reason it just started working out of the blue after trying and rebooting a bunch of times. I was playing with no problems whatsover until I ran into a Naval Strike map. The bottom half of the deploy screen is all fuzzy and when I launch it looks like this ![game](http://imgur.com/RlzfX1r.jpg) It takes somewhere between a few seconds and a minute for the game to crash after that. I already tried to repair the game via origin but I want to put off reinstalling for a long as possible because of my internet connection. I hope somebody knows what's wrong. BTW the Xpack1-3 were all set to true by the game. Some more screenshots, this is after a new launch of battlefield GPU temp 50C. When I deploy it crashes instantaneously. ![Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/MjJvfF1.jpg) PC specs: I7 3770k @ 4.0 GHz WC'ed GTX 770 SDD RAID 0 and 16 RAM.

Do 1350 RP skins go on sale?

Last patch introduced the Ultimate Tier of skins(one tier higher than legendary skins), and many of the formerly 975 RP skins, such as iBlitzcrank, Soul Reaver Draven, and Full Metal Jayce, have moved up to the 1350 RP standard. Do these 1350 RP semi legendary tier skins ever go on sale?


Crime.Net Offline Play?

I purchased Payday2 a couple of weeks ago. I really like it and it's really fun, but I'm having difficulties when it comes to playing solo on some of the missions. Why I want to solo:   * **Stealth** : It is (in a sense) easier to stealth a mission in solo, as the AI do absolutely nothing until you're discovered. So you have no chance of being discovered due to anyone but yourself.   * **Single-Player** : I often just want to be and play alone.   * **Practice** : Simply to practice improving my accuracy, (which I've always found to be an important aspect of any FPS) which is harder to do in multiplayer since you could shoot at an enemy that was just shot by an ally and you hadn't noticed.   * **People are Jerks** : Especially if you are the one to mess up a stealth mission. I realize these are minor reasons and you could just argue that I should play multiplayer. Aside from that... How can I stealth missions solo at a lower level when there are so many obstacles in my way? I know it's supposed to be challenging but seriously it's nearly impossible on some levels (The Framing Job) in particular.   * **Body-Bags** : You only get one body bag. You can get more with perks but I am not a high enough level yet.   * **Pagers** : You can only answer 4. Typically this is fine, but on the Framing job it's pretty difficult not to have to kill more than 4 guards when you only have one body-bag. Is there another strategy I can do? I'm currently running the shotgun with a silencer, and a pistol with a silencer. I can patiently do the Framing Job if not for there being like 8 Guards and I only get one body-bag. It frustrates me that you can't even drag the bodies else-where. **Question(s)** : 1) How can someone solo a stealth mission at a relatively low level? If not possible at a lower-level, how can I level quickly as the missions I'm good at and enjoy give me -50% -> -100% Exp due to how often I play them. 2) Are there any other ways to keep stealth on a mission? Framing Job in particular?


Do the increased difficulty of enforcing by force in the item World apply to Cam-pain HQ?

In Disgaea 4, I am aware that if I use enfoce by force in cam-pain HQ the difficulty of doing so increases. But in the case of the senate of the item world does the increased difficulty is shared with the cam-pain HQ? Is it limited to that item class or is it increased only for that specific item?

Do craft nubers and hat levels affect the cost of the item?

Every time I see people trading, some of them seem to highlight the fact that their hats are of 'collector's level'. Either that, or they are selling crafted hats with special craft numbers on them. One person even commented on my trade that my hat is of level 42 and that I should up my price. I have no idea whether he is lying to me or not. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Da7YB.png) As for craft numbers, is a misc with this craft number worth more than usual? **Do these small factors really affect the value of an item?

Can enemies perform "Critical Hits"?

I am not talking back Ripostes or Backstabs(The enemies I am fighting are [spoiler]Rats[/spoiler].

Trouble with Barbarians and Happiness on Immortal

I'm 450 turns into a game on Immortal on Civ 5. It's a scenario I set up where it's a giant continents map, with me versus one Immortal AI. The only victory allowed is domination. The whole time, I've been having a huge amount of difficulty with barbarians and happiness. (I do not have Raging Barbarians turned on.) The barbarians have been hammering me, often getting more advanced units way before I do. (Now that I have artillery, it's largely under control.) However, at no point in the game has it been safe to scout around, and for most of the game it wasn't safe to be on any of my borders. (I'd have to constantly pull workers away from their projects to prevent them from being captured.) Building a new base requires a large push to secure a new area. Happiness has been difficult, too. I got the social policies that let defensive buildings and science buildings add +1, as well as garrisoned units, and I'm building all the other +happiness buildings I can find, but I can never get a surplus of more than 6. Most of the time I'm hovering around 0 or 1, which means that if the pop goes up I'll be negative for a while until the next +happiness building completes. This has put a huge damper on my expansion. Am I managing the happiness wrong? Or is it just very difficult to stay positive on Immortal? (It would be easier if there were friendly AI, I suppose, with whom I could trade for luxury resources.) These two factors combined mean that I'm barely to the Industrial era in year 2025. Am I doing something catastrophically wrong in handling barbarians and happiness? **Update** : I've expanded to around 10 cities, and my social policies have been all of Honor, most of Liberty, some of Rationalism and one Commerce. (Really, without Honor, I would have been completely overrun by barbarians.) How many cities do you want for a "small, focused empire"? 3-4?

How do I save the progress of my character in Warhammer 40,000: Carnage for iOS?

I bought **Warhammer 40,000: Carnage** for iOS some days ago. The game itself is awesome, but I just can't find a way to save the progresses of my character. Any time I close the application, all my progress is erased, and I'm forced to play all over again, right from the introduction. Since the game has an RPG-like system, I assume there MUST be a way to save one's progress, but I just can't seem to find out how! Can anyone help?


Can a Casted Weapon be cast again?

In The Secret World, there are Casting Toolkits which allow you to destroy a weapon and then allow you to apply its visual look to another weapon of that type. I got a Tyrfing from Polaris which I love the look of Very Much, and would like to apply it to the Blade that I'm questing with now, but I'd **also** like to take that blade that I cast Tyrfing onto and "recover" Tyrfing's look from it and apply it to something else in the future (say, something from Nightmares or what have you). If I cast Tyrfing's look onto what I'm wielding now, can I later use a Casting Toolkit on the blade I'm using and apply it to something else? If I can, will that use the normal look of my blade, or will it use Tyrfing's look?

Emerald EV lowering berries not working?

I am EV training my lv 45 gyarados so I'm trying to reset (or at the very least estimating how much it has). According to the ribbon girl, it had full EVs already (gave me the effort ribbon) so I started giving it my newly harvested berries. According to a guide I read (serebii.net), it takes a max of 11 berries to reset your EVs (if your EV is over 100 in a stat, the first berry lowers it down to 100, then 10 every time so 252 EVS will first lower to 100, then 10 every time, making it a total of 11 berries per stat). I tried this idea to count the EVs of my gyarados and these were the results:   * hp - 80 (8 berries)   * at - 90 (9 berries)   * def - 50 (5 berries)   * spa - 100 (10 berries)   * spdef - 60 (6 berries)   * speed - 160?! <-- 16 berries Yeah, I was amazed that my gyarados kept eating and lowering down its speed even after 12 berries and went on to 16. I tried to compute the speed EVs depending on its other stat EVs and adding them all up means the speed could have had a max of 130, which makes the 16 berries still way over. How could this have happened? Am I missing something important here?

Is there a way to quickly find a server with many players on VOIP?

I recently bought a new pair of PS3 headphones and wanted to test VOIP yesterday, but to my frustration it was almost impossible to find a server with players using it. On some servers there were 1-2 players with the speaker icon, but they don't speak. I found only one server where everyone (!) was speaking... but in Estonian, or some other weird language - I couldn't even tell which one it was. So my question is, is there any quick way to find a server with English speaking players using VOIP? Maybe some web site listing?

Blink on squishy heroes

In a lot of guides I see blink dagger described as a core item for heroes like Lion or Shadow Shaman, for initiating a fight. However these heroes don't have an AOE spell like Sand King, Enigma, Tidehunter or Earthshaker and by personal experience, when they blink among 5 heroes they get destroyed, being so squishy. In fact most of the time they don't have the time to cast hex or their ult. Do you think that it is worth buying a blink dagger, considering it is pretty expensive (half the prize of Aghs).

How do I determine a landing position in Kerbal Space Program?

I like Kerbal Space Program. I have a good understanding of space flight and use maneuver nodes to assist. I'm thinking about working on a multi-part Mün or Minmus station, using multiple ships to drop the base (perhaps several drops) and a rover. But the difficulty I expect will be landing in the same position repeatably. When I've tested this on Kerbin I'm off, probably because of atmosphere slowing me down. I watched this video by Scott Manley and he is able to drop items and hit the runway and VAB FROM SPACE!!! Is there a trick or secret to landing (exactly) where you want?

Fastest way to kill heavily armored guards in a group?

I've gotten as far as Venice, and I haven't had much difficulty with any of the fights so far. The one thing that seems particularly dangerous is the heavily armored knight-type guards. What I have found to work:   * 2 Throwing knives take one down, provided you have room and time to throw effectively.   * Button-mashing hidden blade attacks also kill them, as they can't recover and counter between those quick attacks. However, they usually show up in a group of guards, and both of these options leave me open to other attackers. It's also hard to ignore the heavies and kill off the others, because I can't defend against their attacks (this also disables my counterattack, though I can still dodge). Is there any surefire quick-kill method for these guys (when they're among a group)? Should I just resign myself to running around like a ninny, slowly poking them to death?


Gamecube Memory Cards Life Span

What are the left over Clusters for?

I've been nearing the end of the story quests, and decided to start sweeping up the last few sides/activities/collectibles, etc. As part of that, I've just finished gathering the last Data Cluster. Got the achievement and everything. Similarly, I've picked up every super power upgrade I can buy. Got that achievement too. But, I still have 190 clusters left over. And this seems... strange. There are a fixed number of clusters, and a fixed number of things to spend them on, so am I missing something? Is there something else to spend them on? Or are there just a hundred and ninety more Data Clusters than you need to pick up?

How to customize the car color?

My 4 year son loves this game and he wants to play every game with a different car (different color :)) I see the option to change the car color from Garage/Visuals/Paint There I see a ring with different color gradients and inside it a box gradient colors I could adjust the color settings only inside the box, which are limited color combination of what is selected in the ring outside. I am pretty sure I get more color options if i can move the pointer in that ring but don't know how. I keep trying it every weekend to see the settings but I never found. I some times get doubt this can't be done in the pc because I strongly believe that it can be changed something by moving the direction pad or right pad in the xbox controller. But I am not sure how it is done using keyboard in PC.

Why do I always fall behind in levels with experienced players?

I have around 150 hours in Dota 2. I know most characters move sets and skills, and I last hit rather efficiently. (Around 85% of the time when not near any tower). I usually play carry, and I do rather well in public matches I get matched up in. When I play with my friends who have significantly more experience than me, (Around 600 hours each) I ALWAYS fall behind in not just XP but gold. I'm around level 8 when everyone else is 11 and my net worth is lower. Even if I have significantly more last hits than them, I'm always behind in gold from team fights I suppose. I show to team fights late, and never get any assists which may be a problem. And specific details that can help me catch up in level and stop being targeted in team fights?


Blaze Melee Attacks?

I summoned a blaze with its speed, health and attack attributes enhanced, and while fighting it (multiple times) I noticed that sometimes it could run up to me and insta-kill me (it didn't have the fire around it, so it wasn't a fireball). I'm thinking it has something to do with the enhanced speed / attack, but **can a normal blaze melee attack?**

I'm now trying to complete the Dark Brotherhood, but anytime I go anywhere near Soltidue to do "Bound Until Death", by walking from a nearby location or fast-travel, the game crashes with a "Skyrim has encountered a problem" in front of a black screen, not a normal crash to desktop that many get randomly. This affects not just Solitude but most of the areas immediately around it. I've tried console coc and cow commands to get there and they all crash the game one way or another. I can go pretty much everywhere else without a problem, but I recently had the same problem with the Wreck of the Winter War. My assumption is more and more regions will get bugged as time goes on. This bug seems to be associated with large saves/long playthroughs. See similar problems here and here. Does anyone know of any workarounds?

What is the best way to identify consumables?

I really can't find a good way to figure out what my scroll/potion is going to do until I just read/drink it and hope for the best. Generally, what winds up happening is if I'm in a bad spot and about to die, I randomly read/drink stuff until I'm either miraculously saved or the monsters finish the job. There has got to be a better way. What strategies can I use to identify consumables?


Will I be lost in AC 3 if I skip AC Brotherhood and Revelations?

I have played Assassin's Creed 1 and 2. I would like to skip over Brotherhood and Revelations if possible just to save time and go straight to AC 3. Would skipping those two games leave me lost in AC 3?


Volume of first Assassins Creed extremely low

So a while ago I purchased the first two Assassins Creed games for the PC from target. Recently, I decided to actually begin playing them for the first time. However the volume for the story line is so low that I cannot hear it. I tried playing around with the settings, increasing the system volume, increasing the speaker volume, and even several sets of speakers (one 5.1 set, one 2.1 set and one generic stereo speaker system). I looked online but it was no help. Is this just the first one? I haven't installed the second one yet. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with 5 GB DDR2 ram, a Radeon HD 6570, and a Creative SoundBlaster sound card.


Is it possible to use Magic Launcher with Minecraft 1.6.1?

I tried Minecraft 1.6.1 a couple of days ago and noticed that the Launcher and the directory layout changed. I wonder if there is any information available if Magic Launcher supports 1.6.1 and if I can just use it as before, switching back and forth between 1.5.x and 1.6.x versions? I also read on some forums that I could use the new launcher to do everything that Magic Launcher can do. Is that true? And if yes, is there a tutorial available somewhere?
