Explaining champions without mana

In League of Legends, there are quite a few champions that don't use mana. I am wondering if there are any pages or posts that explain why Riot chooses to create a champion that doesn't use mana? What is their rationale behind the choice? **Energy Cost** There are champions like Shen, Kennen, and Akali that use energy, which is kind of similar to mana in limiting the spamming of abilities (although you don't buy energy items like you do mana items). **Health Cost** There are also a few like Mundo, Vlad, and Morde where their abilities cost health - that kind of makes sense to me - at least there is a cost to using abilities. **No Cost** But the champions that really puzzle me are the ones like Riven, Garen, and Katarina. It just doesn't make sense why they get to use their abilities for free, and never have to spend gold on mana related items. **Kha'Zix versus Rengar** And most recently - Why does Kha'Zix need mana, and Rengar doesn't? Is there a rhyme or reason behind Riot's decision to build mana into Kha' but not Rengar? I'm just wondering if there any posts or releases from Riot that explain this, or maybe even a champion spotlight where they explain it? **=====================Edit=====================** Thanks to help from @Brian Colvin I was able to track down a few forum posts. I'm updating my post because someone locked it, but I still think the information is valuable, and I have no clue where else to ask the question but on stack exchange. Morello answered a question in the forums that somewhat touches on this subject: > The reason is manaless champions need to be balanced specifically to not use > any (besides health) attrition in their gameplay. Infuse is an example that > removes attrition from characters designed to have it. For example, giving > Kog'Maw infinite mana is much, much more broken than making Kog'Maw manaless > and gating his ultimate in some other way. Another person asked a question about manaless champions, and Morello answered with this: > ...I do agree mana gives another balancing point to champions. You have to > design manaless champions to have other attrition (melee does since it's > more risky, health costs, more cooldown considerations, etc) but they can be > made functional if you're smart about it. Vlad's definitely the antithesis > of this paradigm though, as he gains resources over time. I didn't find anything too concrete, but I do thank @Brian Colvin for taking the time to point me in the right direction. I'd give you upvotes if I could! **===================END=Edit===================**


How badly does 'Hunker Down' limit my units sight?

I understand that the Hunker Down command gives a defensive bonus and a sight penalty. Does anyone know exactly what this penalty is?


Can't access the end, server crashes on restart

I've just tried restarting my FTB world after not being able to get to The End. I found and set up The End portal, but it just teleported me to a random location in the overworld every time. When I tried restarting the server, I got this crash log. Can anybody help me decypher this, and figure out what the issue is? I've restarted my server with a new world, and that works fine, so I'm thinking it was something wrong with the old world, which I can hopefully fix in MCEdit.               2014-09-08 08:36:41 [INFO]

PS3 "roaming" profile?

We're upgrading our 3 aging PS2's at work to PS3's today, to get GT5 and other games, and seeing as I have a PS3 at home, a few questions come to mind:   * Can we create profiles for the people that will play and have them exist on all the 3 PS3's?   * Can I take my home profile and use it on those 3 PS3?   * Would I need to keep it on a USB stick (assuming that is even possible)?   * Can I "download" it onto the machines?   * What about ranks in games such as Call of Duty Black Ops, would that follow my profile or be locked to one of the machines? Basically I would like to play with my own profile regardless of which of those 3 PS3's I'm sitting at, and I would guess that many at work would want their own profile to play with too, without that being locked to a single PS3 either. For instance, it wouldn't be much fun if the profile of two of the players that want to play together only exists on the same PS3. Hope I was being clear what I wanted.

Is there a ranged pull for Guardians?

What is the best method of getting better at micro in Starcraft 2?

I've always known my micro is the worst aspect of my game, which is is why I tend toward out producing, or being sneaky (rushing or using cloaked units). But lately I've realized the only way I'm going to get better is to learn micro better, as well as improve my hot key usage. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good custom map/scenario for this or has useful tips for getting better at this stuff? I've already played through all the challenges though i haven't gotten gold in them all.

Stole a pre-war book at Mojave Outpost and lost a lot of gear -- what happened?

I was dressed as a member of NCR, and on a larf, decided to steal a meaningless item in the barracks (a pre-war book, specifically). I was wearing NCR armor and an NCR goggle helmet. Once I did, no one turned red, but all of a sudden, I received a message stating I was no longer dressed as a member of the NCR, and several follow-up messages about items no longer being in my inventory. Several of them seemed to be things I ... um ... kind of stole from the Mojave Outpost. Several, however, were not things I took from the Outpost. (Though they did correspond, sort of, to stuff I looted out of NCRCF.) What exactly just happened? I reloaded an autosave from entering the barracks, but I'm curious as to why so much loot/gear disappeared from my inventory upon stealing a piddly little pre-war book, but without anyone turning red and trying to kill me ...


How do I open cans?

Our town is short on food, with increasingly large pile of canned food in the bank, but no way to open them. I'm only aware of two ways to open cans:   1. Open the can with a screwdriver.   2. Open the can with a can opener. Nobody in our town has found one of these yet. **Are there any other ways?**


How can I get around the Raid Boss time limit?

Borderlands pulled a pretty jerk move and made the new "Raid Bosses", Master Gee and Hyperious The Invincible(s), work on a **24 hour timer**. Since they drop _absolute crap_ , ~10 crystals each time when you need >100 to buy a weapon, it's clearly ideal to cheat the clock. How can I get around the raid boss time limit? I'm on PC generally playing Co- op. Can I just change my PC's clock ahead a day? Does the multiplayer host have to change _their_ clock alone, or everyone? Or is it server based so we have to play offline? Additionally, can Console players just change their clock to get out of it as well?


Buy games from Blizzard by USD

I from Mongolia, which is EU region by Battle.net. When I see payment options I only see RUB there. But we don't use RUB (russian currency). So problem is, since i don't have RUB visa card, I only can pay USD. But if I change my region into US, price will become 39$, almost 4 times expensive than RUB payment option. So my question is, can I put some USD in my card and purchase game from Blizzard which is price in RUB? They convert it? EDITED/ADDED When I use both EU, and US sites, prices are different. https://eu.battle.net/shop/en/product/starcraft-ii-wings-of-liberty https://us.battle.net/shop/en/product/starcraft-ii-wings-of-liberty On EU its 499 RUB (14$), on US its 39.99$. Why price have this much difference? Don't you think everyone buy cheaper one from eu.battle.net? Also I wonder If I buy from EU.battle.net will they give me only Russians usable client?


Can gems be gifted across platforms?

A friend of mine recently got an Android phone, and a few updates back DragonVale was released on Android. I'm a long time player on the iOS platform, but I'm wondering if there is a way for us to gift gems to one another given DragonVale's cross platform support. Can gems be gifted to friends across Android, iOS, and Facebook - or can you only gift gems to friends on your platform of choice?


Out of 25 Steam achievements, I can fulfill only 20 in Duels of the Planeswalker 2013. How can I get the rest?

Regarding Duels of the Planeswalker 2013, I see 25 achievements in Steam. I completed 20 of them, but I can't complete any of the five following though I met the requirements for some. Here's the list:   * **Guildmage** ( _Defeat the Sepulchral Strength deck in the revenge campaign_ ): not done as I don't see the mentioned deck   * **Auramancer** ( _Win a duel controlling at least five Auras_ ): done as I even built a deck specifically to get this achievement   * **Fury of the Horde** ( _Win a duel controlling at least twenty creatures_ ): done as I even had more than 100 with the Goblin deck, and on the same game, I got the **Master of the Wild Hunt** achievement ( _Win a duel controlling at least ten creatures_ ) plus the **Beast Within** one ( _Win a duel controlling a creature with at least 10 power_ )   * **Near-Death Experience** ( _Win a duel with exactly 1 life_ ): done as I fulfilled this requirement several times already   * **Insurrection** ( _Win a duel online using an expansion deck_ ): not done as I don't see any expansion in Steam How can each of these achievements be done? Thanks!


How can I ensure a successful Degreaser + Axtinguisher combo?

Every intermediate Pyro knows the puff-and-sting technique:   1. Ignite opponent   2. (Optional) Airblast them to a wall or corner   3. Hit them with the Axtinguisher   4. ????   5. PROFIT! The Degreaser with its fast weapon switch bonus makes this a quick and deadly combo attack. However, having only less than a few weeks of Axtinguisher time myself, I'm finding this combo pretty difficult to pull off, especially on Soldiers who know I'm coming. I puff a flame, push the opponent back, press `3` or `Q`... but before I'm able to swing my Axtinguisher, the Soldier has turned back and crocketed me. Knowing that the enemy will attempt a counter-attack, if it's an explosive I usually end up using reflects to kill them instead of approaching them and taking out melée. It's a slower kill with less predictable DPS, but it's easier for me. In fact, I'm probably the only Pyro out there with a higher success rate of killing with reflects than with the Axtinguisher. Embarrassing, I know. Anyway, how can I perform the Axtinguisher combo more effectively and ensure I get a kill?

Is there a way to replay these lost calls without restarting a mission (which wouldn't work on random/non-mission calls anyway)?

Watching 'Purge Plays' videos, he denies creeps even if nobody is nearby, why?

I've been playing Dota 2 for a while now. I'm a level 6, so I'm still a noob, but I do have an idea of what's going on. Anyway, I've been watching some Purge Plays videos. In these, I see him denying his creeps even if nobody is nearby that would last hit those creeps. For example, he is farming in an empty lane, nobody is nearby, nothing is showing on the mini-map, and he still denies a creep. Why would he do this? Is it just an instinct or is there a good reason for doing this?


Why does knocking out a cat only sometimes yield a diamond in SEGA game Flicky?

In the SEGA Arcade/Genesis/Mega Drive game _Flicky_ , why does knocking out a cat only sometimes yield a diamond? You can see what I am talking about 20 seconds into this video: Diamonds are worth various amounts of bonus points, and exactly what governs their value would be a second part to the question. I've played the game for years, and I own the original arcade cabinet, but I've never been able to figure this out. The only guaranteed way would be to decompile and analyse the original Z80/68000 code. Indeed, the behaviour might even be different across platforms. Any thoughts or information appreciated.

In Spiral Knights, in a recent patch, customizable Guild Halls were introduced, and one feature introduced was the energy Well. I'm not sure how to explain it.

Which planet is Leviathan on?

Ok so I'm a bit of a wimp and didn't want to fry Ann Bryson's brain after she was so willing to let Leviathan take control of her. I stopped at nose bleeding, which has given me a variety of different locations throughout the galaxy and quite a large search grid for Leviathan's possible location. Problem is, this is an 'end of game' save, so all of this entire region is swarming with Reapers - each system is taking multiple attempts to do a full scan as I'm having to keep diving out of the system to lose them. Which planet is Leviathan on?

Do you acquire/unlock any items through story-line, rather than buying or renting them from the shop?

I started playing A Link Between Worlds on release and so far I love almost everything about the game. I'm about 8 hours in and have done a lot of side- quests so just reached the Lorule. The mechanic for items in the game differs a lot from the Zelda series in it's way that you can rent (for around 50-120 rupees) and buy item (for 800-1200 rupees). It's a cool function that makes a lot of side-quests accessible much sooner then what we (Zelda game lovers) are used to. **Link to all items** **But my question is this:** Do you get items from story-line? (So that you don't spend like 1200 rupees on a item that you will get 2 hours later).

Is there a way to hook my Super Nintendo to my 2 year old Vizio TV?

Barbarians spawning even though barbarians are turned off

I'm playing as America, and this is in around the classical/medieval era, and Aztec declared war against me for no reason at all. I had the worst army in the game but took over 4/5 of his cities before he surrendered. Then there were notifications telling me that there are enemies spotted around one of my cities, and it turned out to be 2 barbarian longswords men, and then there were 2 more spearmen that spawned at the same place, then there were 2 horsemen spawned in the city to the north of Aztec's capital. Is this a glitch? I have 23 unhappiness, and it fluctuates between that and 21 very often, and my income fluctuates between -2 to 8. Never had this happen before.

How do I defeat a Frost Troll?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How am I supposed to kill the frost troll? Whenever I go up the path to High Hrothgar to complete the quest "The Way Of The Voice" I keep running into this Frost Troll and since I am quite new to the game he keeps killing me with one hit. The weapons that I have in my equipment are Ancient Nord Greatsword of Cold, Axe of Whiterun, Iron Warhammer, Steel Greatsword, Ancient Nord Greatsword, Iron Battleaxe, Iron Greatsword, Steel Mace and Steel Sword. What is the best weapon to use against him? ... or is it best to just use magic ? If not any of these, is there some way to get past him unnoticed ?


What wall plug chargers can be used to charge PS3 controllers

I want to charge my PS3 controllers (SIXAXIS) without having the PS3 running (because most of the time when it's running, I'm actually using the controllers). Since the device charges over standard USB (mini USB) I thought it was going to work with any off the shelf USB wall plugs. But I've tried with:   * Apple charges (iPhone - several different generations, iPad)   * Satnav/GPS charger   * Digital camera charger   * Random third-party generic USB charger But _none_ of them were able to charge the controller (at least the lights never flashed on the controller). I have noticed there are (expensive) third party PS3 controller charger stations available, so it has to work somehow. **Why can't the normal wall plug chargers, that are able to charge way more advanced hardware than the PS3 controller, charge them?** * * * I'm aware of this question (Can you charge the PS3 over regular USB) but it asks about PC USB charging. I want wall-plug charging.

Tips on killing enemies effectively using the Time Bomb

I'm playing Fallout: New Vegas in my 3rd playthrough. The one weapon I've never used is the Time Bomb. Once armed, you have 15 secs before it goes off. I don't find it useful for:   * normal enemy encounters since it rarely lasted 15 seconds,   * stealth kills,   * boss or deathclaw encounters where they need to stay put Can anyone suggest effective ways to deploy the Time Bomb to kill enemies?


How do I mark an inventory item as trash?

I noticed that while at a store, there is an option to "Sell Trash". ![store screen](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Iq682.jpg) I figure it will be similar to Kingdoms of Amalur in that I can mark items as junk and sell them all in one simple action. **Is this what it means to "Sell Trash?" How can I mark an item as trash?** It doesn't seem like it's an option in the inventory screen or the inspection screen. ![inventory screen](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Eh3sm.jpg)

Razer Megalodon problems

I just bought the Razer Megalodons and I've run in to a problem. I cannot transmit while playing audio. I also keep getting "USB bandwidth exceeded" errors. I'm using a 850W power supply and I used to be able to transmit and receive audio simultaneously in the past using a USB headset. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit for gaming, and my headphones are plugged into a USB 2.0 port. I've discovered that I can transmit/receive if I plug my G15 keyboard into the USB hub that is part of my monitor, and keep the headphones plugged into the USB ports on the motherboard.


Is there any way to fix an Xbox 360 that intermittently won't read discs?

My old Xbox 360 often times (but not always) won't read a disc. If I keep ejecting/inserting it will finally work. Is there anything I can do short of sending it back to the factory? It's not under warranty and the cost to fix is so high I might as well just buy another.


Do knocked out companions get the full experience?

In Dragon Age 2, do your party members still get the full XP if they get killed in a battle? If not, what about if they get resurrected with "regroup"?


Some “Serious Sam” Levels End Prematurely

While playing through **Serious Sam II** (PC) I found that some of the levels ended prematurely (as though the level were successfully completed). For example, on the first level of planet Ellenier, _Greendale_ , the level is supposed to end when you enter the castle after killing the two Big Spiders and Cannons that materialize when you approach it. However, the level often ends before that, once the enemies in the village have been killed, before the Big Spiders and Cannons are even spawned. Similarly, in the first level of Kronor, _Area 5100_ , the level is supposed to end after you enter the tunnel and kill all the aliens, then pick up the minigun that materializes. However, the level keeps ending early, after the other monsters outside are killed (and before the prisoners are even freed). * * * Later, while playing **Serious Sam: The Next Encounter** (GameCube), I notice the same behavior in a couple of the bonus levels. In _The Silk Road_ , there is a gauntlet in which you fight numerous monsters, then at one point, you get in the combine to mow down even more monsters. Eventually, you get to the gates of the palace and enter to end the level. However, the level often ends whether or not you reach the palace. It definitely ends if the combine is destroyed or runs out of fuel, but even if you get in then get out and an unknown amount of time passes. In _The Geothermal Tunnels_ , you are in the submarine, underwater. Whether or not you take damage, eventually the air/gas runs out so it makes some sense that the level would end at that point even if you have not reached the end, though it could just as easily kill you, thus _require_ reaching the end to complete. * * * If I ignore all the goodies, monsters, secrets, etc. and just go straight towards the end, I can get to it, but trying to get everything in the levels seems to cause this to happen. It seems as though there may be a timer of some sort, but if there is, where/when it is triggered or how long it has is unknown. Another thing that they all have in common is that they all include vehicles, but then, there are other levels that include vehicles which do not exhibit this behavior. Does anyone know what the trigger or triggers are for the levels or why they may be completing prematurely?


When playing random 2v2, can you be paired with a pre-arranged team?

Is it safe to close Minecraft's multiplayer server?

I am currently running a Minecraft server, and when I leave and rejoin to check if my stuff is still there, it is. What happens when I close the server? Does it matter if I just use the `x` button on the window? Is anything lost or does it save before closing?


How can I trigger a wrestling move against the rank 6 boss in No More Heroes?

I'm stuck on Holly Summers (on Mild difficulty). After several failures, I quit the mission and went and searched the city for money and Lovikov balls to upgrade my katana and learn all the wrestling moves. When I started the rank 6 mission again, nearly every enemy I hit was stunned, and I killed 90% of them with wrestling moves. I don't know if this was because of the new katana or a Lovikov technique, but it made things a lot easier. I'm not getting wrestling moves off against Holly any more often, though, and I don't notice a pattern. Is there a way to consistently stun her so I can perform them?

What is the best way of dealing with the Librarians in Metro 2033?

The Librarian (big gorilla looking thing) in the library is kicking my butt every time I try to fight it, I tried backing away from it like miller says but eventually it starts attacking me and then I die. I've emptied all 40 rounds of my kalash into it and it doesn't even get fazed.


Is the Proteus viable as a mission runner?

I don't want a Tengu, spare me the comment please. I want to know if a Proteus can stand on it's own when it comes to missions. Especially when I have to deal with a lot of webbers and dampeners, which I have a lot because of Serpentis. I came up with this fitting so far:               [Proteus, New Setup 1]     Medium Armor Repairer II     Armor Kinetic Hardener II     Armor Thermic Hardener II     Armor Thermic Hardener II     Magnetic Field Stabilizer II     Magnetic Field Stabilizer II     Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II          Cap Recharger II     Cap Recharger II     10MN Afterburner II          250mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M     250mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M     250mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M     250mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M     250mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M     250mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M          Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I     Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I     Medium Hybrid Collision Accelerator I          Proteus Defensive - Nanobot Injector     Proteus Electronics - CPU Efficiency Gate     Proteus Engineering - Power Core Multiplier     Proteus Offensive - Hybrid Propulsion Armature     Proteus Propulsion - Localized Injectors               Hammerhead II x5     Hobgoblin II x5      Can a Proteus with such a fitting hold on it's own in most Level 4 Missions especially in **The Blockade** and other rather **damage heavy and ECM rich missions**? And can I run those missions in an acceptable time frame? Looks fine in EFT, but EFT Warriors are mostly those that lose their ships.


What triggers the option to buy a guild?

In Medieval 2: Total War I am occasionally prompted with the opportunity to buy one guild or another, such as the `Thieves Guild` or the `Woodsman's Guild`. What causes these opportunities to appear?


How much are each of the different souls worth?

From **Unknown Soldier** to **Renowned Hero** , plus for defeating bosses you get souls which you can use to gain various amounts of souls. It would be nice to know how much each is worth. For example, to not spend them and have 'em wasted if you die and can't get back to your bloodstain. The ones I know:   * Unknown Soldier: 200   * Unknown Hero: 400   * Renowned Soldier: 800   * Renowned Hero: 1000   * Storied Soldier: 2000   * Legendary Soldier: 8000


How can I earn more gold?

Pretty straight forward, but in Rock of Ages, what are the best methods for earning gold? In Single Player, the computer opponent seemingly has much more gold to build units with. This may be by design, but what things can I do to earn more gold to build more units?


How does the hierarchy change in gavelkind succession?

I currently hold two duchies. If I give one of my sons a county in one of the duchies, then he becomes my vassal, right? And if that duchy is then inherited by my other son, then one of my sons will be vassal to the other, right? Except that both of my sons will be dukes - each inherits one duchy - and one duke can't be vassal to another! Taking it further, what if I give each son a county inside the duchy that the _other_ son will inherit? When I die, each should become the other's vassal!


What kind of items does the 2000 limit include?

Ingress now has a limit of 2000 items for inventory, and I recently ran into it. Does this include **_everything_** , or are certain objects such as portal keys excluded from the tally? I have already started passing up the chance to hack lower level portals, to avoid clutter from low level XMP or resonators. Never used media, so if that is part of the limit then all of my media is going to be jettisoned soon. I did hope to hoard portal keys for opportune times - often, I pass up creating links or fields when it would add more value to a central hub and paint a giant bullseye on it :)


Does it make a difference who I assign to which Department Head slot?

In the Department Heads section of the Duty Officers interface, you can choose which Bridge Officer fills which Department Head role. Each career path has two Departments which an associated Bridge Officer may be Head over, and a Bridge Officer may be Head of one, both, or neither. Additionally, any Bridge Officer (regardless of rank or career path) may be selected as First Officer. Does this make any difference at all, or is it purely aesthetic?


Is there a slash command to mute (or squelch) a player in Diablo 2?

When playing Ladder games without a password, the game gets the same few spammers joining, spamming, leaving, and rejoining every few minutes. What I'd really like is to be able to stop them from joining at all, but I don't think that's possible. I know I can squelch them from the party window, but I was hoping there was a / command to do that.


How do players quickly get to Mephisto?

In Diablo 2, Mephisto runs were the quickest way to farm item drops in the game. How do players run them so quickly? Were there set map layouts that players could recognize and know where the next set of stairs down are placed?


Where are my custom Dota 2 item builds saved?

I did a custom build for Pudge and I want to backup it so i can try out this custom build manager :`D2RIC_1.3.3` I only found the default ones in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\itembuilds` and its subfolder. So does anyone know the exact path?


How is Deadly Strike calculated?

When I was playing on my Zealadin, a friend of mine gave me a sword that had the Deadly Strike bonus applied to it. I'm not entirely sure this sword was legit (it could have very well been a modded weapon, but I don't even know how to tell). The thing that interested me was that, by the time I hit level 99, the Deadly Strike bonus was up to +600% Chance of Deadly Strike. **What does this bonus signify? Or, more importantly, how is its bonus damage calculated?**


How do I use the gun that comes with Robin's Biohazard suite in Lego Batman 2?

Cooldown on hacking the same portal?

If you try to hack a portal the 2nd time in a short time, you get a message, "The portal is hot" and has a 300 second delay. But it seems you always start with a 300 second delay. This afternoon, I was at a bus stop with 2 portals in range. I hacked one and recharged it, then I did the same to the other. I tried hacking the first one again, and I got a 300 second delay, while it clearly was 1 to 2 minutes later then I previously "re-hacked" a portal. So I was wondering if this delay was just for me **and** if it was like a penalty for hacking the portal in such a short time. My philosophy is the hidden cooldown might just be two minutes and when "rehacking" on 1:59 you get a 300 second delay on top of it.


I plan on picking up Diablo 3 on the expected release day, but I am new to the franchise. I know in other games it is crucial to play the previous release to fully understand the story line. Does Diablo 2 have a cliff hanger I need to know about? Should I play Diablo 1 and / or Diablo 2 before playing Diablo 3?


My Dye Trader Didn't Spawn

I recently acquired a teal mushroom, and I got a message saying the dye trader arrived. However, he isn't there. When I click on the house icon that shows which NPC lives in which house, his banner isn't there, and I assume he didn't spawn since I haven't seen him. What do I do?


How does item durability work?

Whenever I use my pickaxe, a little indicator under it keeps going down: ![Image of the half-empty indicator](http://i.stack.imgur.com/twR3K.jpg) Presumably, this indicates the remaining durability of said pickaxe. But I'm not sure how it works. Is that pickaxe getting weaker as the indicator goes down? Or is it perfectly usable until it suddenly breaks? Is there a way to repair it, other than using it up in crafting a better one? When it breaks, do I lose it completely? In short, how does item durability actually work?


What determines how much experience I get from a hearthstone match in play mode?

What is the fastest way to level a hero to level 10?

I've two heros to level 10, and now I got a daily quest that is specific to two classes that I still have at level 1. Winning with those with a basic deck lacking any of the cards you gain on the way to level 10 looks very unlikely. I've played reasonably successful with my mage, so my opponents now are a bit too strong for a level 1 basic deck. Levelling with practice games against the regular AI is tediously slow and boring. But playing casual or ranked games seems mostly suicide without it, though it might be an option if the XP gain even when defeated would be higher than in practice. Or should I play against the expert AI? Which is the fastest way to level up my heros to 10 so that I can properly use them with all the basic cards?


How can I get sweetfx to work with The Witcher?

Tried to run the first Witcher (EE, via Steam) using sweetfx and the "configurator", but I'm seeing no difference. I have successfully used it previously with Assassin's Creed 3. I installed it on the game root folder and also tried to install it on the Wictcher\system folder, but neither works. For reference, I used the most recent version of SweetFx with the configurator bundle from:   http://sfx.thelazy.net/forum/sweetfx/2/ I was unable to find any game-specific instructions for The Witcher.


What happens to the social policy of a conquered civilization?

I am playing against Elizabeth, where she had adopted a social policy that makes every other AI players and me lose the infl uence on the city states at a faster rate. I'm struggling with the budget, and also being hugely dependent on,the maritime CS allies for the extra food, Lizzy's social policy is really giving me a hard time. Fortunately enough, however, I have a significant advantage in military tech over her and I managed to crush almost entirety of England with three more cities to go, which includes London. If I conquer the English civ, will the previous social policy of Elizabeth be canceled out? If it is so, I am willing to conquer England at all costs. If it doesn't, then I most likely won't demolish the civ, for I am afraid to be denounced a warmonger.


Largest Possible Cow

I recently started playing the original Katamari Damacy, and one level that frustrates me to no end is "Make Tauros" (Also Make Ursa Major, but one constellation at a time). The king is SO picky about how big your cow is, yet he will immediately take anything you roll up that looks even slightly like a cow. Where is the biggest possible cow, and how can I get to it in this level?


How can you tell which purple ghost is real in the Forest Temple?

In the Forest Temple, after you've killed the first 3 ghosts, the fourth (purple) ghost appears near the elevator down to the boss level. It creates 3 illusions of itself and they all circle around you. If you shoot the wrong ghost, it just disappears, but if you shoot the right one, it takes damage. I've seen videos where people hit the correct ghost every time. How can you tell which is the correct ghost?


What does the "Frequency" of an Opportunity card actually mean?

Recently, I've been seeing a new Frequency stat on Opportunity cards: ![example card](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GNEcP.png) On this particular card, the Frequency seems to be set to Ubiquitous: ![example frequency](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Xq19Y.png) One would imagine that this stat is related to the frequency with which Opportunity cards present themselves, but other then that, is there any more concrete information about what the Frequency stat means?


What do you do if you run out of arrows against Phantom Ganon?

The boss of the Forest Temple keeps going into and out of pictures. On my first playthrough, I couldn't figure out what to do before I ran out of arrows, and I figured it was easier to just reset and try again at that point. If you run out of arrows and would rather not reset, is there a way to do it?


How can I fix  a glitch with the Kina Gratitude Crystal sidequest?

I have completed all the sidequests for the gratitude crystals (and found all the ones in the wild), but realized I was still five short (75). In trying to discover the issue, I realized the game had not recognized that I had completed the plow needed request from Kina, when in fact I had got Guld from Eldin Volcano and brought him to Kina (and received the crystals). But now Kina is again talking to Link about needing someone to plow the field, and Guld is back in Eldin volcano saying he wishes he could go to the sky. However, I cannot get Fi to appear once again in Kina's presence to set Guld on my dowsing function, so I cannot get Guld back up to the sky. This has basically voided my ability to complete the Gratitude Crystals sidequest and get the Tycoon wallet, which seriously pisses me off. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

How to hide the "has created a masterpiece" announcement?

Well, the title says it. I tried to edit the /data/init/announcements.txt:               [MASTERPIECE_ARCHITECTURE:A_D:D_D]     [MASTERPIECE_CONSTRUCTION:A_D:D_D]      and delete the               :A_D:D_D      but it didn't work. Should I write something instead?


What do the rainbow blocks mean?

I was playing a World match on Tetris Axis, and noticed that sometimes, a block on one of my Tetriminos would be rainbow coloured. I never saw the blocks with the rainbow bits behave any differently, so that leaves me wondering - what was that for? Why did it happen?


Complete list of Mario Kart 7 habit titles

In the recently released Nintendo title, _Mario Kart 7,_ there is a feature new to the series that allows the game to track your performance during gameplay against bots and other players online. Based upon these data, your racer will be assigned a title visible in the in-game Mario Kart Channel in the lower-right corner of the screen and to other racers who meet you over Street- or SpotPass. These titles, presumably, are then used to determine the skill and attributes of your AI Mii in others' games when playing offline. This system appears to track the player's most prominent habits over the last several races (and battles?), assigning titles such as "Rookie," "Banana Blitzer," "Shell Shark," Bob-omb Ace," "Model Driver," "Safe Driver," "Star Driver," and more. However, a complete list of these titles and their exact requirements does not seem to be easily findable, at least to my perusal of the sparse paper manual, digital manual, and results from Google queries. Can anyone provide a complete list of these titles along with their requirements? If an official list does not exist, this seems to the task of experimentation or reverse-engineering of the game, neither of which I have the immediate time, skill, or tools to perform.


How can I beat the game?

After unlocking Death Duel, each boss you beat unlocks a new boss. I just beat "The Developper" and now I'm trying to beat "The Game". I have no idea what I'm supposed to do to beat is though. Attacking doesn't work. Ranged attacks are no good. So how am I supposed to beat it?


Since the snowball achievement during the Steam Gift Pile, I've been playing Spiral Knights. One thing I've noticed is that I seem to be getting the same levels a lot, despite several things/people mentioning that the Clockworks cycle levels. So I began to wonder, could it be because I play at around the same time every day? Is the cycling of the Clockworks tied to any unit of real time?


Is there any explanation for the Island of Myst or how the player arrives there?

I know I'm many years behind the times; but I just played Myst for the first time this weekend on the PS3. I was absolutely disappointed with the ending; I thought the entire point of the game was to 'figure stuff out' but I don't feel as though I understand any of it. Was it explained in-game and I simply missed it? I did complete the game so I couldn't have missed too much. But **For starters:** Who am I (the main character)? How did I get to Myst? Where am I from? Do I need to continue playing/revisit all the worlds after completing the game to answer these questions? Or is it just left to the imagination?


Does any stat increase my Block Chance?

Most shields I've seen around my level only have around a 15% block chance, although I have seen ones as high as 30% Is this based on any particular stat, or is this a shield-specific value? And is there any way to raise my block chance?

How long does each O-Power bubble take to recharge?

I've been using my O-Powers on my hapless roommate in the hopes of levelling them up. Sadly, this doesn't seem to have happened yet, and I've run out of bubbles to use. I can see the little clock thingy turning in the corner, but I have no idea how long it takes to recharge, so I'm definitely using them less often than I could be. So, to maximise my efficiency in levelling them up, how long does each bubble take to recharge?


If I leave a companion in F:NV can I get him back later?

I've been running with Boone for a while and, while he's a good marksman, he's kind of a nuisance. The Legion are the only group I'm in bad blood with and he just likes to run into them headfirst, often throwing all attempts to a stealth approach to the dirt. If I let a companion go for somebody else:   * Can I "get" him back later?    * Where will he be?   * Are there other complications?


How are the enemies in Dragon League selected?

How are the human opponents for the fight in Dragon League selected? I've thought they are from the same league as I, but it's not very probable. Usually most of them are far weaker then I - about half of them has dragons level 10, for example, while mine are 15. A few are tough, but in the last leagues one opponent was always extremally tough - with 10 levels above me, very strong dragons. It's impossible those weak guys have beaten him. Now one opponent is level 50 (mine is 25) and has dragons of level 20, and he is blocking me for weeks that I would need to get my dragons to such high level :( I suspect it's done on purpose to block players from getting gems for free....


Should I do all blue markers in all Holy Pillar iterations?

I'm nearing the end-game, at the fourth attempt with the Holy Pillar, I think? I was under the impression that the sidequests (blue markers) in each Holy Pillar iteration were the same thing (I beat the Merchant guy like three times), so I promptly ignored most of them and simply rushed into the temples. In this iteration, which begins with Chapter 7, I visited Yulyana for the heck of it. Turns out that I can fight him for his Conjurer asterisk. Then I visited Eternia, and I found Einheria, Khint and Holly there. So, to my horror, things in this iteration are different from the first world. Were the events in the second, third, etc iterations also different from the first world? In short, my question is: **SHOULD I have done ALL blue markers in ALL iterations to have a 100% game experience?**


Missing pushups in UFC Trainer

I am about 3 days into my first 30 day challenge on UFC Trainer and have been getting frustrated that the game isn't picking up all of my push-ups.   I can grind out 20 or so ( don't laugh (; ) in the allotted time, but can barely get the game to register 12 or 13. Does anyone have any tips on getting all of my push-ups to count? I've tried going slower, adjusting the angle of the Kinect, adjusting the angle of my head while I do push-ups, nothing seems to make a difference. I am thinking it is something to do with being low to the floor, as I experience some trouble with situps as well. I'm working out on hardwood floors, could that make a difference? Thanks to anyone with some advice.


How do I recover lost food?

I recovered a fortress, and there was a bunch of food in it. Now that food lies in a giant piles that my dwarves can't eat. They aren't marked forbidden or for dumping, they are just sitting there. I've tried marking them forbidden and dumping them in order to clear the status, but nothing. Just sitting there, delicious but inedible.


Upgrading the Greater Totem ward trinket

At level 9, you can upgrade Greater Totem to either Greater Vision Totem (1 pink, permanent) or Greater Stealth Totem (3 x 3 min wards). How should I decide the upgrade path to take, and as a non-support when should I consider paying the 475g for an upgrade?

When selling stuff in the Auction House there is always a toll, or a tax. Is there a percentage or a formula as to how much you will have to pay in order for the tellers to sell your stuff for you.


Does Mario Kart Wii allow more than 32 ghost data slots?

Recently my ghost data has been full, and I need to delete some ghosts before I can watch some of the world record runs. On that list, it seems that I had 32 ghosts, so 32 means I cannot have 1 rival ghost + 1 world record ghost for each race track (there are 32 tracks, so it would require 64 ghost slots). Is there a way to have more than 32? The data should be small, is there a way to store it on a 2GB SD card, for example? **Update: I found that I can just create another player and then probably have yet another 32 ghost slots...oh well, I just need to play using that license so as to enable all the cups.**


What does the effect of "Boost to HC droprate" actually mean?

In Brave Frontier, what does the effect of "Boost to HC droprate" or "Boost to BC droprate" actually mean? For example, Archangel's BB (Blessed Sword) is "3 combo Light elemental attack on a single enemy & boost to HC droprate". Does the boost apply to JUST the hits in the bursts 3 hit's, or does it increase overall HC droprates for a period after the attack (1 turn, 2 turns, the rest of the battle)? Does it apply to every hit during the period as well? And do other units benefit from the effect or is it isolated to just the Archangel? I haven't been able to see a any consistency because of the games natural variance for HC and BC drops and I haven't been able to tell if I'm gimping my team by using Archangel instead of a stronger unit (I don't like straight healers =p). Any serious theorycrafting out there on how this works? The official wikia really doesn't shed any light on the topic as far as I can see. Also, sorry this isn't tagged. There isn't a bravefrontier tag! XD Thanks!

Where can I find how many Skip Challenge Stars I have?

I noticed that I have some items that allow me to skip Challenges for characters, but I cannot find how many I actually own, outside of an actual match. I would like to know where I can find how many I currently own so that I can plan out their use. I did not find it in the Stickerbook.

Why do bitizens get blown out of airlock?

I wonder if this happens accidentally or because of something. I ask about this because one day I had to change time on my phone (back in time), and then I opened TDS without remembering about it. Everything was very strange, I regret not taking screenshots. All the time meters were sticking out, the amount of time left was astonishing... So I quickly returned to my settings, changed time back, and everything changed back, too, but almost immediately one of my favourite bitizens got blown out.

Does the zombie preview screen give any clues as to which lanes the zombies will appear on?

In Plants vs Zombies, at the beginning of every level you're given a preview of which zombies occur in that level while you select your plants. Is the arrangement of zombies on that screen random, or does it correspond to the lanes in which the zombies are going to appear?

Does a first gen PSP battery cause damage to a PSP 2000

I have 2 PSP's, one is a first gen PSP which I use for playing games on the go, the other is a PSP 2000 which I use for when I want to play PSP games on my TV Recently I found out that the battery for my PSP 2000 is dead, it won't charge however I learned that my first gen PSP betters can still go in and run it but at the cost of not being able to put the battery cover back on Now looking at the batteries, they both say 3.6v but my first gen PSP says 1800mAh while the PSP 2000 is less, I think 1200 I am wondering what kind of damage I could be doing to my PSP 2000 by using a first gen PSP's battery, I do plan on getting a new battery for my PSP 2000


Minecraft without a mouse?

Is there a way to play Minecraft with only a keyboard? When I have free time I'm usually on my laptop. While I do have a mouse I can dig out, there's no surface to use it on. The touchpad is sort of ok, but I'd really much rather just map the mouse movement and button to the keys surrounding `L`, or whatever, and keep my hands in one position. If it's relevant, OS is Win7.

Where does the PS3 store user accounts

I ask the question because i recently had to send my PS3 back to get repaired/replaced but I had put a 320GB Hard drive in it, in case it was replaced I didn't want to lose that HD but I'd lost my original 60GB HD so I bought I cheap replacement to put in the PS3 before sending back. When my PS3 came back repaired I booted it and all 4 user accounts from my PS3 were on the system but I had assumed these would be on the HD i'd taken out.

How much damage can a Damsel take, and what hurts them?

In Spelunky, if you bring a Damsel to the end of a level, you'll gain a hit point when you finish the level. Unfortunately, Damsels live up to their Hollywood stereotype: the only thing they're good for is running around randomly, and you have to pick them up and carry them over your shoulder to the level's exit. This means your hands will be full when you run into monsters, which is a bit awkward. I am a horrible person: I've realized that the Damsel makes a reasonable weapon when thrown, and she can also be used to set off arrow traps. Sometimes I end up with a dead Damsel, and sometimes I don't. What will damage a Damsel, and by how much? (Consider traps, hitting monsters with the Damsel, dropping her and a monster touches her, accidental whipping, long falls, etc.) How much damage can a Damsel take? Is all fair in spelunking and Damsels, or will I come to regret treating a Damsel like a bunch of pixels?


Can you leave the Prison?

I'm getting pretty close to the part of the game where you have to go to the Prison Island. I've played a lot of games where the last level is the last level, and you can't leave it to return anywhere. Is Dead Island like that, in that you can't leave the Prison Island once you go there?

How do I know how many flowers I have?

Whenever I pick up a flower, it tells me how many I have in total, and how many of that color I have. Is there any way to know how many of each flower I have, without finding one to pick up? Sadly the map in the Sanctuary doesn't list the flowers in each zone like it does for keys, so there isn't even a way to know where to look for the remaining flowers. I checked in the Stats area of the Sanctuary, but that was less than helpful as well.


Dead Money DLC Perks

What are the new perks in the Dead Money DLC for Fallout: New Vegas?


Button spamming as special infected

While hot seating a friend, I noticed that she button-spams while grappling a Survivor. It doesn't change the Special Infected animation at all but she swears that it does more damage. In particular she thinks the Jockey is still able to attack while riding. I'm inclined to think that the game inflicts maximal damage regardless of what you're doing once your SI has started to grapple. So what's the real story?   Does button spamming increase the damage dealt by a special infected?   Anything official? _Note: Grappling Special Infected_   * Charger   * Smoker   * Jockey   * Hunter


Adjusting in-cockpit view

I have issue with in-cockpit look around using the hat-switch on Logitech G940 HOTAS controls in _War Thunder_. If I use the mouse-look (default: press and hold `C` key while moving mouse), I can see everything perfectly: including looking behind own tail, and the whole rest of the sphere of view. However, using the hat-switch on the joystick, my FOV is fairly limited: I can see 90° left or right, or 90° up, but I cannot see behind (180°), and I cannot see in three-quarter sectors (left- and right-up forward and back, something like 45° both horizontal and vertical), nor can I see below in any direction except of forward a bit so I can see all of the instrument panel. The game supports G940 natively, and most of the functions work out of the box, however buggy some of them may be. Controllers are calibrated in the Logitech software. As far as I remember, in _Il-2_ hat-switch works all the way around. Is there a way to make it work like so in _War Thunder_? Or is it by design? Would something like using face-tracking software for a web-camera be a better solution anyway?


How do I switch between more than 2 weapons?

In my loadout right now, I've got an assault rifle, a shotgun, and a heavy pistol. (I've double checked that I'm supposed to be carrying 3, so it's not just an inventory brain-fart issue) According to the hint tips I've seen, I can hold X to switch between my weapons. However, Shepard just keeps reaching for either the pistol or the assault rifle! How do I get him to pull out the shotgun? I've tried holding the button longer or just tapping it, but tapping just reloads, and regardless of how long I hold, he still switches between the pistol and the AR.


Where can I find my squadmates on the Normandy?

From what I remember of previous games, each squadmate I recruit will set up in a different part of the Normandy. It's usually important to talk with them all between missions, but I find myself running to and fro trying to find each new member's quarters on the ship. Is there a map or a listing of each of the squadmates/major crewmembers and where I can find them on the ship? Something organized by deck would be ideal.


Is it possible to mix and match armor sets?

What are the limitations on catching pokemon in the Pokemon Dream World?

I used the Pokemon Global Link website for the first time the other day, and I left with a few of my questions about how it works answered but with many more new ones. I can probably figure most of them out through experimentation, but there was one concern I had above all the rest. When Fennel was explaining the board inside your house (where you have a picture of the Pokemon you caught while going over the rainbow bridge), she said something along the lines of "If you have 50 pictures on the board, you can't cross the rainbow bridge any more!" Does this mean that there is a hard limit of 50 pokemon you can ever catch in the dream world? Once you catch an aggregate of 50 pokemon over all your visits, you can never catch another? If not, how do you clear out the board so that you can catch more? If so, I'm going to be more judicious in which ones I catch and which ones I just pass over.


In Far Cry 3 how can you equip a weapon you already own?

When upgrading a portal, what happens to the existing resonators on it?

Hilbert curve sequence according to Ingress regional scoring grid?

The new regional scoring grid for Ingress (Regional Scoring - This Changes Everything - DeCode Ingress) is based on an S2 (Hilbert curve) global grid as used in Geometry on the Sphere: Google's S2 Library and an encoding described in request: regional scoring cell borders · Issue #741 · jonatkins/ingress- intel-total-conversion. That allows every point in the world to be mapped to a point along the Hilbert curve, and begs existential questions like:   * Where does the region s2 / hilbert curve start for the Americas face (AM)?   * Where does it end?   * How do the 6 faces of the cube line up?   * Is there a good argument for a well-defined start to the whole curve? On which face? And, for extra credit, to go to the limit, the whole enchilada: what is the sequence of all Ingress portals by Hilbert curve order (adding additional levels as necessary)? :)


Use UrbanTerror with multiple screens on Windows

I recently got a second monitor, and the first time i started UrbanTerror with that new config, it stalled at intro screen and I had to reboot my computer. Is there a way to configure UrbanTerror to support multi-monitor setup ?

Is there a Mac inventory editor for Minecraft server?

I've got a minecrack inventory editor for Macs running on local maps but what about for the 'classic' server setup? There are clearly one-per-user inventory files in the server world directory but my InvEdit won't open these files, so I'm looking for a tool (ideally mac-native) that can deal with these files.

Is the Mayan/Templar Armour just cosmetic?

Unlike in _Assassin's Creed 2_ , your health increases when you craft items and all the outfits you can obtain seem to be just cosmetic. Since the Mayan/Templar Armour are equipped from the same menu as all the other outfits, do they have any in-game benefits?


How big is Finery bonus?

Basically as topic says: how big is _Finery_ bonus? Battle.Net description: > **Finery** > > Gain Strength for every gem socketed into your gear. How much _Strength_ do you get from it? Is it equal to the gem quality? For example, if I would use this skill and insert 1 _Flawless Square Emerald_ in my weapon, would I get 34 _strength_? Or is there some constant value for it? And according to here the expansion should have already been released in Asia.


What do I do after killing Garnier de Naplouse?

How do I "alt-tab" out of full-screen games on Mac OS X Lion?

As silly as it sounds, I just can't manage to switch out and back into full- screen games on my MacBook, like `Alt`-`Tab` does on Windows. I've tried searching online and found posts saying I should use the `⌘` (Command) key with `m` or `f` or `Esc`, but none of these work... and in general I had some trouble searching for it online since Lion has a new "fullscreen" feature for applications which behaves differently than fullscreen games but is called the same. :( So, is there a way to do this? Right now I'm relying on the Steam overlay which allows me to access a browser from in-game, but sometimes I want to access other applications and I just can't figure out how.


Does it matter how well-timed Catwoman's jumps are?

Most times I try to swing to somewhere, it'll require me to jump a few times to get up there. It'll also say how good my timing is on jumping. Is there any reason to try to do it well, or should I just push it as soon as possible?

Does Yoshi B-type have an ending?

Does the NES version of _Yoshi_ (a.k.a. _Yoshi's Egg_ , _Mario & Yoshi_) have an ending when playing the B-type game, or does the game just keep getting faster? If there is not an ending, how many different fruits are there on the interstitials?


In Spice Road, what is causing one city's repairs to be awful?

I have a situation Where the city was growing slowly and everything was fine and the builders yard was taking care of repairs as I'd expect. And then it got really big and the repairs were bad. I had to manually repair a bunch of buildings and it seemed that the builders yard was no longer doing anything. I tried building a second one, in case the first was just over-full of work order or something, but that didn't seem to change things at all. So now, the city has a red exclamation point complaining about awful repairs but I can't find any buildings in the city that actually need repairs. I'm sitting on a reasonable and slowly growing wad of cash, so I don't think that's the problem. Anyone have any ideas?

What is strafe jumping?

I've seen people rocket and sticky jump, but make incredible turns in the air. In Team Fortress 2, for example, I've seen people on 2Fort jump out of one side of the battlements, do a 180, and land in the other side. Is this an example of strafe jumping? How is it done?


What happens to Ezio's mother in Assassins Creed 2

When Ezio takes his mother and sister to Villa, he tells his sister that mother "will come back to us". And throughout the game she just sits beside the bed. Since I only completed the story missions and glyphs, I wasn't 100% synced. Does being 100% synced treats the mother of Ezio? Or collecting all the feathers?


What's the solution to the cross puzzle in the antique shop?

I got to the cross puzzle in the Antique Shop. I realized that I needed to use the wooden box, the crucifix, and the alchemy chart on the large cross in the back room of the antique shop, but once the puzzle actually opened up, I got stuck. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/LXme4.jpg) Not knowing which alchemy symbols to put in each hole, I tried to cancel out of the puzzle to explore more. But I couldn't figure out how to cancel out. I finally decided to hit the "hint" button. It tells me I need to look at the tapestry in the main room. However, since I can't seem to find any way to actually cancel out of the puzzle, I'm left stuck with no in-game way to figure out the solution.   * What's the solution to this puzzle?   * Is there a way to cancel out of the puzzle? I've pressed all the likely keys plus some facerolling of the keyboard, to no avail.

Steam Engine Resets COD Black Ops Level

Hoping someone might be able to me with this. I play CoD: Black Ops multi-player on-line a bit, I think I'm a prestige 5 level 47? Or at least I was, until Steam reset my settings. I had some internet trouble, but after one bout, steam synchronization says it couldn't sync my files and to keep playing. So I select to keep playing, and it's fine. Until today, when I played and all of a sudden I was back to prestige 0 level 1 in the middle of the game. And no matter how many times I restart, it hasn't come back. I've sunk a fair bit of time into this game, so I'd like to know if I can get my score back. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help!


Do Mods handle their textures independently?

Some mods add new Block with their own textures, i am wondering if these textures are independent from Texture Packs one can download which change the vanilla minecraft textures. ie. If i download a HD Texture Pack and used it, will the new blocks and textures of the mod still show up in their original form? or will the Texture Pack replace them with nothing (even throw up errors) since it has no files for these new non-vanilla textures


Do "Gold per 10 seconds" items stack?

Often on support champions, the ones that don't farm, gold per 10 second items are seen. Heart of gold, philosopher's stone, and even sometimes Kage's lucky pick. They all have the unique passive of a bonus 5 gold per 10 seconds. Do gold per 10 items stack with each other? I was messing around in a custom with friends and realized that multiple Heart of Golds do not stack with each other. I also know that items like Archangel Staff do not stack with items with the same passive such as Manamune or Sapphire Crystal. Does the common combination of Philosopher's Stone and Heart of Gold actually increase my gold intake, or am I burning my money?

How can a Mechromancer be optimized for Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode

Salpe86's Assassin's Guide has been a great help in gearing my character up to better handle Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode. Since following his recommendations, I've gone from constantly fighting for my life and burning through handfuls of ammo clips when facing what should be the most trivial of enemies to killing even Badass-level monsters without having to reload more than once. However, my wife hasn't been so lucky. She plays a Mechromancer and still has trouble even down to True Vault Hunter Mode. She only made it into UVHM with the help of my escorting her through the endgame missions of TVHM. I presume the weapon selections recommended for Assassin will probably port over to Mechromancer fairly well, but are there any changes I should make to that - does the Mechromancer tend to handle some particular weapon types better or worse than Assassin? How about Shields, Artificats, and Class Mods? What skills are essential for a Mechromancer in UVHM?


Where are all the legacy justice / honor vendors?

Since I've played only BC and MoP, I haven't been able to get nice-looking sets for transmogrification. Recently I discovered that there are more set vendors ("Legacy" Vendors) than the ones in Stormwind or Orgrimmar. The known vendors I know are:   * Stormwind (Honor and Justice Vendors, Champion's Hall and SI:7)   * Tanaris (Honor Vendor, several PVP sets, up to Relentless)   * The Argent Tournament Grounds (Justice Vendor, only 1 set)   * Dalaran (Justice Vendors, some PVP sets for Justice, Tier Tokens, Heirlooms)   * Isle of Quel'danas (Honor and Justice Vendors, some PVP sets) There must be other legacy vendors that can give you some sets for transmogging for either honor or justice. Do you know the location of the remaining ones?


Do admins need OP on a Minecraft server?

I used to run a Minecraft server and always gave admins OP. I have seen many abusing it, but when I deopped the best admins, they complained about not having enough rights. Giving OP to someone is a big risk. Though when giving OP it can also be a big advantage. So my question is: is it smart to give admins OP? Do they really need it? Of course only **when you trust them**?

Is there a way to see achievements for the current mission?

Whenever I finish a campaign mission I see the achievements for that mission in the summary screen, but that's an inconvenient place to see them (as you just finished playing it) -- If I achieved one it was most likely by chance. I only found the Achievements screen accessible with the F9 key, but those are not grouped by mission, but for "group of missions". Is there someplace I'm not finding to see achievements in the current mission? Or even before starting it?   This would be useful to try to get them the first time I play a mission.

In Skyrim, how can I keep my companion after getting married?

After I got married in Skyrim, my companion ran away! When I tried to talk to her, all she said was, "congratulations on your wedding, I hope you two are happy together", in a tone in which you can sense she is hurt, deep down, that you did not choose her. She then proceeds to run way from you. She even takes all your items! I was able to pickpocket my items back from her, but I want her to continue following me!

Transfer save game Shadowrun Returns between Android Devices

I know there have been several similar questions about saved games, but unfortunately they didn't answer this. I have Shadowrun Returns on my phone (bad idea), and I'd like to get the saved game transferred to my tablet. Both are Android. I know this answer says it should be under:                Android/data/com.harebrainedschemes.shadowrun/files/Saves      However, I can't find the `com.harebrainedschemes.shadowrun` folder on my phone. The saved game is on the load game menu, but I can't find it on the file system to transfer it. What's the deal? Where is the saved game files? And unfortunately the wiki post linked in that question doesn't discuss Android's location.


Will sleeping with my sons wife have a negative effect on our relationship?

I'm relatively new to Crusader kings 2 and have started as the King of Munster. My first act was to find a suitable wife for both myself and my Son and Heir. As my main aim was to expand the family asap I chose potential wives with positive fertility attributes. So I've ended up with a couple of lustful, hedonistic princesses. In other words they like to fool around.. Anyway I soon ended up with an event (which I admit I didn't read thoroughly) which saw me having a bit of a late night tussle with my Sons wife. She became my lover and a few weeks later she announced that she's pregnant with my child and suddenly my Crusader Kings game starts to feel like a bad Jerry Springer episode! My Son is none the wiser and thinks the Child is his, however should I be worried that some time down the line he's going to find out and our relations are going to suffer as a result? I've no idea what would happen to the line of succession if he did find out, would the child move to become mine in the family tree? I tried to Google the answer which brought up some interesting sites but none relevant to Crusader Kings 2!


Where are all of the memory cards located for the Memory to Spare achievement ?

How many memory cards are there ? Where are they located ?


Good Combat Positions

I want to find good holdout locations for fighting the cops. Locations that have good cover, good perspective on all approaches, and bonus points for being physically unattainable by the cops (if they're too stupid to climb stairs, ladders, etc.) I've found a few that are pretty good. Right now I'm using this bland cement tower in Paleto Bay, right behind the Ammu-Nation. It's up a few flights of stairs, so they can't get to me, but I'm exposed from a few different directions. Has anyone been experimenting with good "crow's nests" like I have?


What are the support upgrades of each armor specialization?

I see that when you reach rank 50 you can begin to unlock "support upgrades" via "armor specializations". It will be a while before I get to that rank, but since I will need to make a choice I'd like to have my decision made ahead of time (instead of stopping matchmaking to do research *** _gasp_ ***). What support upgrades are unlocked for each specialization? Are there any prerequisites which limit which armor specialization I choose?


In Skyrim, I married Iona, and said I want us to live at her house. Where is her house?

I just married Iona in Skyrim, and said we should live at her house. however, when I checked the map and quests, "show on map" is grayed out. Maybe she does not have a house? Is this a glitch? or, where is her house? **More Info Update:** I was just two inn-lengths to the west of the Nightgate Inn, headed _away_ from the inn, and the game popped up, "Completed: Visit your spouse's house". There are no houses in the vicinity that I could find, and I had already discovered the Nightgate Inn a long time ago. Additionally, the "Completed" message did not pop up when I was actually at the inn, but rather, when I was headed away from the inn about two inn-lengths west of the inn. I don't think her house is the Inn, but maybe I'm wrong? Don't know. Why did the message pop up and did I find Iona's house? If so, where/what is her house? Thanks so much. p.s. I originally found Iona in my house in Riften, after I became Thane of Riften and she swore fielty to me.


Where is log 13 in The Swapper?

I've just started playing the indie game "The Swapper" (I'm hooked—it's _very_ good), and am a couple hours in. I was looking through the story logs (pieces of written text from the in-game characters), I've just realized that I don't have #13. I've gotten all logs in order (barring that one apparently), and I have all the way through #23. There aren't any markers on my map from areas I've already been. Are you supposed to get each log item in order? Does it show up later, or should I circle back? _Is_ there a log #13? (*hattip* to the developers, this is a beautiful game.)


Do effects like Shock and Burning still apply with Resolute Technique?

I'm building an elemental cleave Templar and wondered whether effects like shock and burning will still proc if I go resolute technique. Will I still get the benefits after going resolute technique?


A second Perch of Kairos is blocking my Rainbow Dragon!

I've got a perch of kairos in DragonVale, and it's been placed so it's blocking my Rainbow dragon and his pot of Gold. I can still see the Rainbow dragon, and his habitat, which are both beside the perch of Kairos, but whenever I try and click on them it just selects the Perch of Kairos instead. I'm fully up to date, and have tried logging in from both an iPad and an iTouch, to no avail. Any suggestions on how I can fix this so I can get to my rainbow dragon again? ![problem with perch of kairos](http://i.stack.imgur.com/LR1Gb.jpg)


How do I collect all the goons?

There's a few pick up pods lying around from my latest confrontation, but all my ships are fully staffed! Do I have to leave these potential goons behind? They're _dying_ to become pirates (literally) and, unlike rez, excess crew won't be ejected automatically for beacons to pickup.


Why is Diablo 3 installing slowly on SSD, no installing on drives A: and B:?

I've already looked around a bit and found only unrelated stuff. My setup is a i7 2600k, 8gb ram, 250 gb SSD, 3* 500gb HD. I first started installing on my SSD, but after 1.5 hours and 5% I stopped the installation and tried restarting it on my other drives. I first tried to drives named a: and b:, but those didn't work because blizzard apparently blocks the use of those. I tried my third HD (7 year old piece of junk) and I've gotten to 40% in 20 minutes. Anybody know why a SSD with 500mb/s read and write is slower than an old HD? Or why A: and B: can't be used? The SSD works fine the rest of the time.


How to use Page of Blacksmithing

Where can I find all the Resplendent Chests?

Resplendent Chests only show up in special (randomized?) encounters within certain locations, I think there was one in the Cathedral during the beta. In my experience with them they drop some pretty good loot. What map locations can I look for these encounters and can I do it more than once?


In Diablo III, how can I change what Chat region I'm in, or join a global channel?

When I log into Diablo, it appears that I'm placed into a mini-region of sorts for chatting - the general chat seems to be limited to 99 people, and the specialized chat rooms have very small amounts of people in them, I assume because I'm in a mini-region of sorts. This region seems to change every time I log out/log in. Is there a way to change this region without logging out/in, or is there a global channel I can join? Say I want to join Witch Doctor chat, and there are only 7 people in it, that is not very helpful.


Can't Connect to my Bukkit Server with Factions Installed

I installed Factions to my Minecraft Bukkit 1.7.2 Server, with MCCore installed as well, but I can't connect! I have tried using 1.7.2 and 1.7.4 since the servers 1.7.2+ can all be played on both. I have no idea what to do
