How to find your logs in worldoflogs

I am interested in seeing my logs from raiding in worldoflogs.com after I do something such as LFR (Looking for Raid). How exactly is this done? Is it auto imported into the site? Do I need to manually start a log and then upload it? I'd love any suggestions for doing this and then linking it to a friend to critique it so I can get better at what I do.

Halo 4 multiplayer difficulty settings

I was playing Halo 4 multiplayer with some friends last night and I noticed that certain players were harder to kill than others. After one has killstreaks do you become easier to kill or does the difficulty to kill players change?


Where can you farm ore in Skyrim?

I want to level up my blacksmithing, but I can't find enough ores to do it. I've farmed all dungeons, that I've farmed so far (I'm level 11) and bought all ores\ingots from NPCs. So are there respawn timers on ore sources, and what are the best places to farm it?


Where are the Boys of Silence?

I finished Bioshock Infinite, but I failed to see the infamous Boys of Silence everybody is talking about. Did I take any shortcut? Am I blind? Where are they supposed to appear? Thanks!


Does the Stopwatch affect bosses?

I've been using the Stopwatch to give me an advantage in some harder areas, but I recently tried it against the Iron Golem boss and time didn't slow at all. Does the Stopwatch not affect bosses in general? Are there other points in the game when it does not work?


How do I calculate what 80 RF is in MJ?

in FTB direwolf I have a setup of steam dynamos that put their power to a Tessaract. the Tessaract runs my quarries and I want to know how many dynamos it takes to power my quarries. I want to calculate the difference between 80 RF and what that is in MJ. I don't need to convert it because that is what the Tessaract is for.

How much does resource quality really matter?

In Firefall, every resource has a quality of 1-1000, this gets transfered to gear when you craft it (for example, a minigun crafted with resource 543 will have quality 543). My question is how much does quality really matter. Will a tier 2 item pretty much ALWAYS be better than a tier 1 regardless of quality? Does quality increase things like DPS, clip size, accuracy, etc. or does it just modify constraints (that's all I noticed when crafting my tier 1 gun). In short. Should I be picky about what quality I craft with? **EDIT: With Game updates this question is no longer valid as game updates have removed the quality system alltogether**


Weapon smith Ornifex died in Shaded Ruins and there is no tombstone

I got swamped by Basiliks in the shaded ruins whilst freeing Ornifex and she got petrified to death :( She did mention that she would re-locate to Brightstone Cove Tseldora before she died, however when i return to either locations there is no tombstone to be found. Is this just bad luck, or is there some other way of getting that tombstone to appear (excluding restarting from scratch or NG+) Thanks


Important and recommended skills for a pilot just starting out?

I have just started playing EVE Online and I was wondering is there are any skills that I should learn as soon as possible that will open up more of the game and/or increase my survivability in New Eden. In particular I'm looking for skills I should pick up, but anything else that I'm missing is also welcomed! In general I'd want to just fly around, make some money and learn the basics of the game, I don't have much of an understanding of the game but so far I have been doing the exploration career missions and will probably be looking towards doing the Industry or Business missions once I have finished the ones I'm doing.

How can I win the final battle?

I really had a hard time during the final battle: I had to lower the difficulty in order to get through it... Bellower seems completely imbalanced to me and I'm really not sure about how I should setup my crew for this fight. ![Final battle against Bellower](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YmvzS.jpg) Should I go for Bellower first (but then all his minions will rush and kill me) or kill all the others before (but in this case it's Bellower that will weaken me to death during the whole fight, with his special abilities) ? Any strategies or advice?

How to easily beat Eraqus?

I have been playing BBS for the past 2 days and now I'm with the scenario of Terra. Am I the only one who doesn't manage to beat Eraqus? I had no difficulty to beat Zack, once you know how to avoid his Omnislash it's not a big deal. I don't want to waste my time at leveling, I guess there is a simple way to defeat him. So here are my questions : **Which elements are his weak point ?**   **Which shoot capacity should I use to deal huge damage ?**   **Is there a D-Link I could use to beat him ?** I know this may have been answered on some random wiki, but I want to hear that from players


The Better Banner Battle - When to use each Soldier Banner

The solider has three different types of 'banner' items that, when charged by dealing damage, allow him to 'buff' himself and his nearby teammates in different ways.   * The Buff Banner - Bestows all weapons with mini-crits   * The Batallion Backup - Reduces damage for all buff targets   * The Concheror - Provides healing for all buff targets per damage dealt My question is, when is it best to use each of these different banners?


Is Charisma a useful stat in Fallout: New Vegas?

I'm beginning playing this game and I'd like to know is Charisma is worth putting a few points. I always play RPG as a diplomat character and I want to do the same here. However it seems that in FNW only the Speech skill is really usefull when it comes to find a diplomat way to solve quests. So is Charisma really worthless, even for a diplomat character? Are there many quests where a Charisma check is made instead of a Speech check for example?


Can I have other Followers if I am married?

So I married Cosnatch, the drunk brawler from Markarth, and am quite happy with my choice. He is hilarious and good to have around in battle. However, as I continue with quests and faction storylines, I am noticing that occasionally the reward is that you can take on another follower from time to time. (Ex. Cicero in the Dark Brotherhood) I do not wish to off my husband, but when I ask him to "wait" in our home, then try to employ another follower, they all just say "You already have someone in your party." Am I to believe that once you take your beloved on an adventure with you, you have to miss the perks of several quests? (There is also a Daedric Quest where you must lead a Follower to death, which would be null and void unless I wanted poor Cosnatch dead.) Or am I missing an obvious step? If I tell him we should "part ways", will he remain in our home? Will I be able to eventually travel with him again? This part of the game is not very clear.

How do I kill these goblins?

I've got a little bit of a predicament. I created a pit to dump goblins in, then I tried to fill that pit up with water in order to kill them. Of course that's when I find out that you need to actually have the place filled with 7/7 water _and_ a floor above them in order to kill them. Unfortunately, I left a few holes open in the level above to drop them in, and I can't do anything about it because the moment I queue up a floor hatch to fill the holes, the dwarves suspend the construction out of fear. How do I fix this? Level 1 ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GihhX.png) Level 2 ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YVi97.png) (The goblins are dropped in from pits above. Those floor hatches are suspended.


Do I pay my debt payment at the beginning or ending of the due date?

I'm currently on the seventh day of gameplay in Recettear and the eighth day, the first day of payment, fast approaches. However, in planning out my next two days, I've bumped into a situation where my plan of action depends on whether or not the debt payment is payed at the beginning or ending of the day. If it's paid at the beginning, I'm going to head back to the shop and spend the seventh day selling enough expensive weapons and armor to blow past the required amount of money. If it's paid at the end, I'm going to go adventuring and spend the eighth day selling. Do I pay the debt payment at the beginning or ending of the day?


What cheat codes are there for Resident Evil 3: Nemesis?

What are the cheat codes for Resident Evil 3: Nemesis? I googled first but all I get are hints e.g., how to beat Nemesis, how to solve certain puzzles etc. Is there any cheat codes which will allow me to get powerful weapons or infinite ammo? I've found this link which specifies some sort of codes to be applied to a save game file, but I don't have any clue how to do it......


Does Impending Doom decreases Exploding Palm's DPS?

The skill description of Exploding Palm reads: > Cause a target to Bleed for 745% weapon damage as Physical over 9 seconds. The description of its Impending Doom rune reads: > Increases the duration of the Bleed effect to deal 745% weapon damage as > Physical over 15 seconds. If the rune changes the skill to do the same damage over more time, doesn't it effectively _decrease_ the skill's DPS? And if so, what is the benefit of this rune? Just to have a bigger time window for the explosion to take effect?


How can I permanently disable the gore in Fallout New Vegas?

The .ini file line that worked in Fallout 3 doesn't work in New Vegas. Or I should say, it sometimes works temporarily, but the game quickly removes that line from .ini file and the gore returns. This is clearly possible, because the German version has gore disabled by default.


Is there a list of Guild Wars 2 servers?

Does Dodge have a cap?

I am playing monk and I would like to evaluate a dodge build but I have a doubt. Probably 100% dodge cannot be reached and it should be a cap somewhere.

Is there a way to make the forge categories remembered?

When I open the forge dialog, I can see various item categories, and I can click the "fold" button (highlighted below) to hide and un-hide them: ![fold button screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BrnY5.jpg) This is incredibly useful, since that list does tend to get long and when I play a Demon Hunter I don't care about melee weapnos, when I play a Monk I don't care about quivers and mighty weapons, etc. etc. Unfortunately this menu does not seem to remember which category was open and which was closed between game sessions, so every time I open it in a game it resets all categories to be open. Is there a way to make it "stick", so it will remember which category was what?

Main quest disappearing, can't get to New Game+

I'm having problems concerning the mode New Game + in Torchlight 2. I would really like to proceed to that mode and or to Mapworks, but it seems that every time I go to The Minehead or defeat the final boss (Netherlord), the main quest disappears and then you're just stuck at the game. I've tried different characters and still end up with the same problem. I already finished all quests main or sub but still talking to Felicia or to the robot leading to Mapworks won't do anything. I'm playing v1.16.5.3 and I'm only playing single player mode game.


What is the best strategy for escaping Tall Birds?

Frequently, I make the mistake of getting too close to a Tall Bird nest, mostly by stumbling upon it in an unexplored area. I haven't been successful at defeating them, so I run. It seems to me that Tall Birds chase you farther than any of the other mobs I've encountered. I've been able to put some distance between us by zig-zagging which makes it stop to attack every time you change directions, and allowing you to run farther away. Is there any other way to get them to stop chasing you? Anything you can drop? Or a biome they won't enter? Or, any other stratgey?


Game Over if all crew dead but have cloning bay?

Regarding the advanced edition of FTL: If all of your crew dies but you have a cloning bay on your vessel, is it immediately game over, or does the cloning bay prevent that? Is the game smart enough to know that a damaged cloning bay and a fully dead crew means you cannot recover, but a functional one (even if temporarily without power) could revive your crew? Also, does this answer differ between hostile ships and your own ship? (That is, do you get to capture and loot enemy vessels that have all dead crew but have a functional cloning bay?)


Possibly for slow Client to Dupe

Im running a private server and so my friends and I are on and then i got a message that one of the players was trying to break faster than possible from NCP.When when i checked on another plugin called grieflog and Easylog it said that the player mined iron ore in the same spot in a 2 sec time frame 5 times.I banned him because of duping but he said that his computer is slow and he had to mine two times to get the ore.My computer is brand new with AMD FX 4.0 GHz and a bit more than 1G located with a internet connection of 4 megabits of upload speed and 40 megabits of download. So did he dupe the ore or is it the computers fault?

What Science can I perform on and near Kerbin?

I've decided to try the Career mode in Kerbal Space Program and I've flown a few rockets into orbit around Kerbin and landed them safely again. I've taken some mystery goo into orbit and I've taken surface samples from a few biomes on Kerbin. But I'm now at a point where I seem to repeat myself in missions and hardly gain any Science anymore. And even if I figured out how to reach Mun or Minmus and get back again, I'm missing a few parts that are probably important for that such as landing gear and solar cells. So my goal right now is to do some more Science on Kerbin to unlock those parts before I venture on more exciting and dangerous missions.   * What are all the experiments I can do on and around Kerbin with the basic equipment available at the start of Career mode?   * How do I do them in an efficient manner? It seems like I can only store one crew report per mission, so doing them in all possible situations would take forever. Here is a screenshort of my Science Archives to roughly show what I have already done: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/PKJhe.jpg)

Best way to deal with slightly non-connecting mob spawners

I have found a nether fortress where there are two blaze spawners that are pretty close to each other. However, they are not close enough for me to connect them, I think the gap between then is about 100 blocks. I was wondering what the best way will be to deal with them. Should I just break one and focus one the other one, or is there a way to benefit from both of them. I guess when I am busy with one them all blazes that have spawned from the other spawner will despawn.

How do I fix my vintage world?

My favorite single-player map is relatively old - created no later than beta 1.1. Since then, the terrain generation algorithms have changed. When I explore any farther, I'm faced with glitches like sliced mountains and differences in sea level. I tried making a new world with the same seed, but it turned out completely different. Is there a way to smooth the transition between the old and new automatically, or will I have to run around terraforming myself?


Is my Spirit (or any other ability resource) rounded up/down?

I am looking at the Monk's The Guardian's Path passive ability, which generates 25% more spirit when using a 2H weapon. My default attacks give me 6 spirit per attack, so how much spirit does this passive give me?   * 7.5 spirit per attack (there's a hidden decimal point)   * 7 spirit per attack (rounded down)   * 8 spirit per attack (rounded up) I think if they rounded the numbers then this is very inaccruate, so it seems more likely there is a hidden decimal even though my spirit bubble does not show decimal places. But if it is not rounded, then what happens when you try to cast a 20 cost skill when you have 19.5 Spirit, and your spirit bubble shows 20 Spirit? Unlike the other classes, Spirit does not go up or down over time (unless you have spirit regen skills/abilities)


As science research points increase in Civ 5, why does the research itself not hasten?

In the ancient era I may have +32 science and it takes 18 turns to research the Wheel, for instance. In the modern era I may have +520 science and it still takes me 18 turns to research Atomic Theory, for instance. Why does the increase in science points not hasten the research itself? Or does it? Thank you.


Why is there sometimes no squad leader?

Several times I've been in a squad with no one marked as squad leader, i.e., there's no star next to the name at the top of the squad list. According to previous questions (one, two, three) the SL should be assigned automatically. At first I assumed this was a server setting. But today I saw it happen inconsistently: on the same server and map, at one point there was no leader, and at another point there was. Does anyone know what's happening? My theories:   1. **Display glitch.** The top person actually is the SL but just doesn't appear that way. However, I'm 95% sure I was in this situation once when I was at the top of the squad list, and yet I was unable to set objectives.   2. **Server setting.** There's server setting I don't understand, for example, a delay in appointing the SL.   3. **Volunteer leaders.** There's some way for people to request assignment as a SL. I wish this were true, but previous questions suggest it's not.


Does the Visual Intensity setting affect your score?

Setting the visual intensity as low as it can go definitely makes Beat Hazard easier, but does it affect your score at all? Does a lower-than-default intensity lower your score? Inversely, does setting it higher than 100% give you bonus points? If so, how many bonus points exactly? Because I have a pretty good idea of how many points I'm going to risk a seizure for.

What is this enemy called in Dark Souls? Looks like a huge dark hell spawn knight

![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/meoat.png) Those are the size comparisons more or less for the demon. And what it's face looked like. I found him walking around some sort of barracks/watch tower thing on route the "church up high" the NPC told me about, right after the crow picks you up from the Undead Asylum. He was facing away from me, and I backstabbed him, but I barely scratched him. He turned around and promptly one shotted me for my insolence. What the hell is this thing? Am I in the right place, progression wise for an enemy to one shot me so easily? I didn't even scratch it!


Does magic find affect what a merchant has to offer?

I sometimes see Rare (yellow) items on Merchants, and sometimes normal (white) items without any stats. This leads me to believe that there is some sort of RNG for merchants for not only the stats on the items, but the quality of the items. **Does Magic Find affect the quality of what a merchant has to offer?**


Alliance benefits?

What are alliance benefits between me and another empire? So far my experience is: That if they are attacked, I have to come and help (otherwise they claim it as "Failed Missions"). But when I am attacked, they don't do jack. When I want them to attack somebody, they say "They're happy to help their neighbor" (or something like that; while in alliance), but then, they request +100.000 sporebucks. Offcourse I could lean ship of my ally. But why would I? It cannot take care of mine problems, neither his own. They're weak and fast to kill. When they die, you get "negativized" relation with them. So what's the deal. I have to wipe their ---, but they aren't helping me.


Reducing/Turning Off Particle Effects

After spending much time with a laggy game experience, I've come to the conclusion that certain complex particle effects, particularly those of the Hu-Long Heatmaker minigun for Heavy, and multiple explosions going on at once on-screen, cause my game to lag considerably when in effect. Is there a way to reduce the complexity or otherwise turn off these particle effects to help reduce my lag?


Fifa 14 formation issues

I have been playing fifa 14 for a week now i have been having many difficulties adapting to the game play so far, that being said i played fifa 12 for 2 years and played a lot of online games and was very proficient there. Yesterday i played many games yesterday and with many formations, The AI difficulty was professional level so the problem i encountered was when i set up a formation like 4-2-3-1 and team was Real madrid i put Alonso and Modric as holding midfielders and player Ronaldo as LAM, Di maria as CAM and Bale as RAM and Benzema as striker, there were so many times i saw Modric coming on the wings and Bale going to central midfield, even when i pause and look at the formation to verify it on the display on the pause screen it happened for so many games. Then i tried to revert to a 4-2-2-2 with 2 at top and played Ronaldo as the striker and as game progressed it seemed to be still stuck with my previous 4-2-3-1 where ronaldo was hugging the left touch line and dropped way deep to receive the ball than i originally wanted him to play. I am not sure how to phrase this question? Has anyone experienced this glitch so far in FIFA 14 like i pointed out with the formations and players playing out of their positions? Secondly is there an all round formation suitable to play with on FIFA -14 i predominantly used 4-2-3-1 on FIFA 12 for all teams and go to a flat 4-4-2 only when i am trailing. Any recommendations?


Can a Champion jungle effectively without Smite?

When is more advantageous to choose magic penetration over ability power?

When is it more advantageous to choose **magic penetration** over **ability power** with my AP champions?   * Is it better to have a balance of the two stats, or is better to focus one more than the other?   * ~~Should I only get magic penetration when someone start stacking magic resistence?~~   * Is there a certain amount of ability power I need to achieve first before trying to gain more magic penetration? * * * @Michael Capobianco's answer is the closest one that I am looking for, but is not complete in my opinion: > If a champion is known to not scale well with AP items (E.g. Malphite, > Katarina), yet their abilities scale with level, then you should consider > building a heavier magic pen build. Could someone make some math craft about it? On Wiki it's only make some examples about MR calculation. Not the importance over AP (of course, if you are making your enemies 0 MR you start stack AP).


What is the most effective way to mock someone else's religion?

In the full version of Desktop Dungeons, you can gain piety with your chosen god by desecrating the altar of a different god. But doing so will cause you to suffer the wrath of the god whose altar you desecrated. What are some good ways to take advantage of this ability? It seems like the penalties for making a god angry are so great that I would never want to risk it just to gain a little bit of piety.


How do the elemental gems influence my magic attacks?

When I use a magic attack with multiple gems of a different type in Chantelise, the nature of the attack seems to be determined by one of the gems I use(i.e. if there's an earth and a wind gem used together I might end up with a hammerorb that has wind properties. In this case, the nature of my attack would be earth, or a hammerorb). However, there are some cases where I specifically want the magical attack to not be of a certain nature; for example, if I'm attacking a bomb-type enemy, I don't want my spell to turn out to be a hammerorb, forcing me to get up close to inflict damage. What determines the nature of my magic attack? Is it based on the ordering of the gems, or the number of gems of each type that I put into the attack? Or is it entirely random? Also, what sort of attributes does each gem type add to my attack?


Where can I find Yaevinn for the quest "The Unforgiven"?

I tried to stay neutral at the bank robbery and ended up helping Siegfried (which, as I read, cannot be helped). Now I'm looking to side with the Scoia'tael in the quest "The Unforgiven", but I cannot find Yaevinn. Online sources indicate that he should be at the refugee camp in the swamp, but I've checked and he isn't. There is, however, a pretty annoying Elf who likes to steal my Feainnewedd every time I talk to her. So far I have checked these areas at each of the four major times of day:   * Vivaldi's house   * Refugee camp   * Druid's grove   * Elven ruins (sewers) By the way, I'm trying to go for the neutral path, having already been through the Flaming Rose one. Please correct me if I'm going about this the wrong way. I tried talking to Velerad but he's not interested in doing much other than dice poker. I'm starting to think that my save file is bugged. If anyone is interested, you can download my most recent save in a zip here.

My PS3 controller always comes on as controller #2, even though it's the only controller.

I recently bought a PS3 and whenever I turn it on, even with the controller, the controller always starts up as #2. This is hugely annoying as (for example) inFamous can only be controlled using controller #1. I have to manually change the controller over to #1 once I get into the game. Because it's likely part of the problem, I should mention that I also have a USB IR receiver (built for the PS3) also plugged in, so that I can use my universal remote for things like BluRays and Netflix.


How do I open the gate in the Familiar Forest?

In the Familiar Forest in Chantelise, there is a wandering traveller selling equipment and a gate, like the ones that would normally be unlocked in a stage by killing all the enemies.

How do you claim free retcon tokens?

Part of the release notes for a recent Champions Online patch states that due to power changes, a global retcon token is made available for each account, claimable in the Powerhouse. I'm a bit new to this game, and I'm having a bit of trouble finding exactly how to claim this token. I've spoken to the NPCs in the Powerhouse, but the only option I see is for purchasing a retcon, not using a free one. How do I claim this thing? Or am I not eligible because I'm a somewhat new subscriber?

What was the machine used for in Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs?

I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering about this. I've read pretty much all the papers I could find wandering around, listened to all the dialog in the game, and I still didn't figure out **exactly** what that machine is. So can someone help and explain:   * What exactly is this machine?   * Why was it built?   * What is it used for?


How do I make my character move in GMod Hunger Games?

We just bought Donator for GMod Hunger Games and now my player won't move in any server. It will spin, look up and down but it is stuck in one place! What should we do?


Can anyone explain the basic mechanics in The Bridge?

I've played The bridge to the 4th chapter, but beyond basic rotation, I fail to understand how this game actually works. The inverters appear to always change color and rotation by 180°, or are there differences between individual inverter buttons? The ink used in chapter 4 is completely strange to me. I can't tell if it repulses or attracts objects, or makes them float. The game sadly does not explain this really, and there is no FAQ or wiki online on this matter.


Is it possible to change current production/research and carry the resources?

What I mean is: let's say I've been researching a technology for 20 turns. Then I got one free tech. If I choose to get the one I've been working on for free, are these 20 turns lost, or is it possible to carry the 20 turns' worth resources elsewhere? Same with production. If I am making a worker for 5 turns and then choose to make a warrior, will I have to start from the beginning or will I have some part of it already done?


NFS World crashes and PC restarts automatically

I've downloaded NFS World from official site and done the updates, however when I open the game at the lowest resolution and lowest texture at some point (after about 2-3 minutes) the game hangs and repeats last played sound (like drifting) and then carries on playing. This repeats 3-4 times then my computer restarts automatically. I've tried Heaven Benchmark and open hardware monitor and they reported about 90% GPU memory use! I also tried Prime 95 torturing tests and reported 100% CPU usage (which is normal for that test) but people say that it should run for hours to heat up the CPU, but it heated up to 81 C in about 3 minutes.

Player car stuck in Dark Horse race in Need For Speed : Hot Pursuit 2010?

In the game **NFS: Hot pursuit** , I have the following problem. I've been stuck in this race (Dark Horse), my car stops and the ground disappears and everything else is normal (time is running,other racers passed me ,traffic passing). My own car simply doesn't move.

How do weapon stats and leveling work?

I have some questions about the weapon leveling system in SoM, which isn't super clear to me:   1. Each character has his own individual weapon progression chart, but **is there any easy way to switch from one character's weapons stats view to another's** ? It works with the general stats view by pressing `Start`, but it doesn't seem to work for the others' views...   2. In the weapons stats view, each weapon is preceded by two numbers separated by a colon; the first number is the weapon's level (for the selected character), the second seems to be a percentage accomplished to reach the next level (if any).     1. **How does this percentage increase?** Do you have to actually hit or kill monsters with the weapon in order to raise its level ? Or will having it equipped while mobs are getting killed (possibly by another character) be enough ?     2. **How is the amount of XP earned by each weapon calculated?** Is it always the same whatever you are doing with the weapon, or is it a fixed amount gained by all the characters every time a monster gets killed ?


Graphics Card, Processor or RAM?

Which is better for good gaming?   * Graphics card    * Processor    * RAM  Will only buying a very good expensive GPU (Graphics Card) ensure a good gaming experience? Friends say that you dont need to buy a new processor, a good graphics card is enough. I like surreal 3D games most. I have one 1GB DDR2 RAM and 2.0GHz Dual Core Processor, 7200 RPM sata Hard disk.


No HDMI Output to a TV from PS3

I have a TV and a monitor that are both HD. I have been switching both my PS3 and Xbox 360 between the two using HDMI ports successfully for the past 10 months. Last night my wife watched a Blu Ray movie disc while the PS3 was plugged into the TV. This morning, the TV no longer gets a signal through the HDMI port. The HDMI port on the TV works: I can plug my 360 in and everything is fine. The HDMI port on the PS3 and the HDMI cable work: I can plug my PS3 into my monitor and all is well. I can plug in the AV cables from the PS3 to the TV and that works. The only problem is connecting the PS3 to the TV using HDMI. I have tried holding down the power button on the PS3 to automatically reset the output. The TV shows 'No Signal.' I have tried plugging in the AV cable and the HDMI cable at the same time, switching the TV to AV, and then manually changing the output to HDMI. When I switch the TV to HDMI it shows 'No Signal'. I have tried connecting the PS3 to my monitor using HDMI and manually changing the resolution (1080p, 1080i, 720, 480) and then tried plugging it into the TV. The TV shows 'No Signal.' I have tried unplugging both the PS3 and the TV and then retrying all of the above steps. The TV shows 'No Signal.' Does anyone have any other ideas? **EDIT :** I had not unplugged the HDMI cord from last night when I tried this morning. I tried all three HDMI ports on the TV, none of them work.


What dispositions can my spirits have?

I have one spirit that is "sidekick", one that is "driftwood", and one that is "ack-ack" (?). What are the available spirit dispositions, and what do they mean? Are there different trees of dispositions or is it all one giant continuum?


Spoils of War Passive

The item Relic Shield currently has the following passive: UNIQUE - SPOILS OF WAR: Basic attacks execute minions below 200 health. Killing a minion heals the nearest allied champion for 2% of your maximum health and grants them gold equal to the kill plus 5. This effect requires a nearby allied champion to trigger. Recharges every 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 2 charges. How does the gold allocation work between a champion that has this item and a nearby allied champion? Does the ally champion get all of the gold, or do both champions get the kill bounty plus the other champion gets 5 gold? In other words, if I am a support, is it beneficial for me and my ADC partner if I steal the last hits if I have a charge available (gold wise)?


Who pays the cleaner?

When you kill civilians in Payday 2, you are deducted "cleaner costs" which scale with difficulty and vary between heists. This money is obviously not taken from your end of heist payday, since otherwise (as an example) killing all of the civilians on Jewellery Store normal difficulty at $8000 per kill would result in negative income. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xe3zU.png) Where is this money taken from, as it doesn't appear to be deducted from your end of heist payday?


Can I be friends with everybody while doing all the plots?

Being a full-time approval junkie, I would like to make all the friends in X3 Albion Prelude, or at least befriend all the races (Argon, Boton, Teladi, Paranid, Split, Terran). Will completing the Albion Prelude questline, which seems to be all about the Commonwealth-Terran war (who knew we were such bastards?) irrepairably damage my relationship with Terrans and the ATF? Are there any quick ways to regain lost reputation with a faction?

Recommended version of OpenGL for Minecraft?

I'm wondering what version of OpenGL is best for Minecraft. Currently, I'm running Windows XP (2G RAM), OpenGL 2.1, JRE 5 (and Minecraft 1.2.5, haven't downloaded the latest yet). Minecraft runs well (although I have _Render Distance_ set to _Normal_ , or it's too slow). Would it be worth the hassle, of upgrading/installing the latest OpenGL (4.2)? What effect would it have on Minecraft, if any? Update: I'm running 32-bit Windows XP, with a GeForce 7600 GS 256MB (fairly old, I know). As for OpenGL, it came with XP. When I checked with an OpenGL Viewer, it told me the version was 2.1. Whether that was what came with XP, or was installed by Minecraft, I don't know.


How do I appease the cops?

So, things didn't go exactly smoothly during my last visit to the police station, and everyone inside is dead except me. Now, whenever I walk out the front door, I am very quickly put down by a few cops who happen to be standing outside. How can I get them to not attack me on sight? Are they feeling vengeful because I slaughtered their coworkers, or is it just because I have my weapon drawn and don't know what button will put it away? I do know about an alternate exit, but that's a pretty long detour and I'd rather just use the front door if at all possible.


Can't cash in Barry medal in Jetpack Joyride

I've done all missions and got level 75 Barry medal, but I didn't cash in straight away. Now that I want to cash in, it won't let me. It's an option on the missions screen but I cannot select it. I've tried restarting the game and the console with no effect.


Is there some reason to get all the gold in the retro levels?

I've just completed the "Cloud 8 1/2" retro level skipping a few gold pieces. I still got "WINNER CONGRATULATION! 3/25" message and the world map doesn't seem to distinguish this from the other retro levels I've perfected. Are retro levels just about the survival or does gold collected in those matter? (No, gold bars in retro mode do _not_ count for the world counter.)


Can I play GTA IV's multiplayer with a different disc (DLC / original game) than my friend?

Fallout Map Size in "Game Cells"

So I found the answer to this question fascinating and it got me to thinking, "I wonder how this compares to other Bethesda games...?" I've read quite a bit about the comparison being "bigger than" Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, etc, but I want to actually be able to do the math exactly to compare all the maps. The only sticking point is that I have no idea how big any of the maps are _exactly_ in terms of "game cell" length and width. For example, in the linked question, the answer states that Skyrim is `119 x 94 = 11186 in-game "cells"`. Those are the numbers I'd like to find for the other games in question.


I am under siege and walled in, what can I do to fight back?

This is Urist McImdsm of Iton Datan, member of the Tomb of Heroes. We've been attacked by (initially) 32 undead. They've since eaten chickens and badgers. We are holed up in our fortress, which has walls on three sides with a 1 tile water moat outside of the walls, and a river on the right of the fortress. We are 22 dwarves strong, safe inside our tunnels, with ample food and drink. The drawbridge is up and secure. ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/kz4qR.png) We don't really have a functioning military, but I suppose we now have the time to train. What options do I have for getting rid of these undead attackers? I was thinking, we could build an archery platform and when they walk near, pelt them with bolts, but then, can't undead only be killed by decapitation? How should we handle this? Our beards grow long whilst we ponder the situation.


In Batman: Arkham City, how do activation and installation limits work?

I am considering a purchase of the Game of the Year edition of Batman: Arkham City on Steam but I have heard a lot of rather negative information regarding the number of installations and activations of the game. My greatest fear is getting locked out of the game entirely, perhaps not immediately but in the long run. I would like to see an explanation how the activations and installation limit work in this game. How often can I uninstall or reinstall the game on the same machine? Will my activations regenerate or can I get them back somehow by de-authorizing an old machine? Am I required to contact customer support which might not be available in a few years? Can I install the game on three separate machines at the same time without the game locking, etc.?

Why am I unable to use dragon souls to unlock dragon shouts?

I have killed a couple of dragons. When I go to the "shouts" section of the magic menu, it tells me that I have 2 dragon souls available in the lower right corner. However, when I press "R" to try and unlock another shout, it tells me that dragon souls are required to unlock shouts, just like in the beginning of the game when I had none. When I got 3 souls, I was able to unlock a shout, but I still cannot use the other two. I have three shouts unlocked in total. To clarify: I have lots of greyed-out shouts in the list. I have 2 dragon souls, but still cannot press "R" to unlock them. Here's a screenshot.

Is there a difference between running games in Windowed or Fullscreen mode?

Which hold item is more effective?

**Which hold items are more effective during the battle phase?** I've seen _"duplicate"_ items throughout the game, such as the Zap Plate and the Magnet which both increase electric type moves. But which one gives you a greater increase to damage? I know there are others, such as the Flame Plate and Charcoal to increase fire moves, so how many different variances are there of these items and what does each do?

Where is the missing Teensie?

In _Rayman Fiesta Run_ I've managed to unlock each Invaded mode, and gotten 4 Teensies from each level. However, I'm still left with one missing node to open up the last skull level![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gNQjH.png) I've been over the map again and again, and I don't appear to be missing a Teensie from any level. I haven't collected 100 Lums from each of the Invaded levels, but I've definitely got all the Teensies. Is there something I'm missing, or is the last node opened up by getting 100 Lums on each of the Invaded levels?


Graphical glitches

I have graphical glitches when I play Street Fighter IV on PC. Sometimes when I play, the 3D models are like leaking to or from nowhere. An image is worth a thousand words, isn't it. Please visit that IS gallery. I'm wondering why this happens. Look under Sakura's skirt, on Chun Li's cheek or Dan's hand. It happens randomly. Obviously I didn't have the problem in the beginning and then it happened but deeper than what you can see on the screenshots, then I changed my monitor because the previous died and it even happened on char select and vs screen (greenish and magenta dotted lines on 2D graphics) but now it seems it got better. I had to play over an hour to get these screens. I preferred to play on windowed mode and now I play in full-screen mode. My previous screen was displaying at 1280×1024 as far as I remember and the new one displays HD (1920×1080) so I bet it had to display Windows desktop AND the game graphics and the change of definition may have made some extra work to the GC. Maybe full-screen mode allows it to ease the GPU a bit. Another thing that happens is the game quitting suddenly. As I told earlier, my pc is quite old (it actually passes the minimum required config)   Athlon 64 3800+   1 GB of RAM   ATI Radeon x1600 Pro   Windows Seven x64   **In short** : why do these glitches happen and what are the solutions?


How can I make breaking walls less tedious?

The background "walls" in Terraria are incredibly tedious to break down. Maybe it's because the hammer is so. damn. slow. or maybe it's just a figment of my imagination since the wall tiles have bigger sprites than non-wall sprites. It's important to rid your base of places where monsters can spawn but I can't convince myself to clear out all the dirt and replace it with stone at the current speed. I understand the standard ways of breaking the background but even the most advanced hamaxes still have a speed of slow. Is there an item that speeds up this task? Or a particular method that you use to break it as fast as possible?

Why can't I join any external minecraft servers?

So I was playing on an external server in update 0.8.0 but when I updated to 0.8.1 I couldn't join. It would say locating server and then say couldn't locate server. The servers I play on are pocket edition and I am absolutely sure that I'm using residential Wi-Fi and not pocket Wi-Fi and that the servers I play on have been updated to 0.8.1. I could connect before but now I can't. Can you find a way to fix this problem?

How do you efficiently manage chains of tasks in Dwarf Fortress?

I'm a beginner at Dwarf Fortress. I was just about keeping on top of things, until my first wave of migrants arrived. Now I have 15 dwarves to keep track of, and my previous strategy of micromanaging each dwarf is not scaling up. In particular, I'm having problems with "chains" of tasks, where something in the chain goes wrong, and the dependent job gets cancelled or suspended. For example, I would like to be continually brewing ale, but occasionally I run out of barrels, either because the carpenter wandered off, was doing something else, or ran out of wood. When this happens, my dwarf gives up on brewing and moves on to other things. A similar thing happens regularly with potash production and food preparation. How can I efficiently manage these chains of dependencies? Are there any strategies, or built-in mechanisms I've not learnt about that I can apply to relieve some of the micromanaging burden?

How do i use the Assassin's Creed 2 GotY Edition DLC on the Xbox 360?

I got Assassin's Creed 2 Game of the Year Edition for the 360 and the slip inside says it comes with DLC which was the reason why i brought it. when i got Borderlands Game of the Year Edition for the PS3 there was an extra option in the PS3's main menu which took me to the installers for the DLC. The PS3's menu layout hasn't changed very much however the 360's have changed quite a lot, evey time i have never found a separate option to install the DLC. I am wondering, how do i install the DLC for the game of the year edition for the 360 using the latest version of the 360's menu? EDIT: i completed Sequence 11 and learned of the repaired 12 and 13 which i assume to be the DLC, yet there was no prompt at any time that it had been installed, while i could assume it was installed at first start up along with the achievement list since this was the first time playing it on my 360 this would mean that the DLC wont install on my dad's 360 because he's played the original and when he puts the game in and starts it up it doesn't install a second Achievement List or indicate the game needs to be updated but this would make no sense then. So i'll change what i'm asking here, how/when did the DLC get installed without prompting me


'Skyrim HD - 2K Textures' mod installed via NMM not showing up in the game launcher

I've installed mods via the Workshop for Skyrim on Steam just fine, but I'm trying to install Skyrim HD - 2K Textures from the Nexus, and despite being listed as successfully installed in the NMM, it isn't showing in the Data Files menu of my Skyrim game launcher, and isn't being applied to the game itself. How do I go about fixing this issue?

Are traps supposed to have false positives now?

When checking my trap lines for rabbits, I keep finding traps that are not shaking, but are in the "down" position; they look kind of squarish instead of rounded as well. The interaction option is "check trap", but there's never a rabbit inside in that case. Is this a bug or glitch of some kind, or is this a new feature added to the game since the last time I played?


Will homeless spiders found a new den or just sit forever?

When I was playing today, lightning struck in a dense forest full of spider dens. I ended up with a bunch of silk and dead butterflies on the ground, a ton of burnt trees, and a number of spiders sleeping out in the open because they have no home. Unfortunately, I died a few nights later; would they have eventually founded a new home? If not, would they have despawned, or would that be the forest of sleeping spiders until I managed to kill them all?


Marine Arena: Turn money into damage in late game

I think I can master the early game pretty well now in Marine Arena, but I get into trouble in the endgame. Often I engage the enemy with my army, and we both lose most of our troops. Suddenly I have a lot of resources from the battle (1500 - 2000), but almost no units, except the ones that recently spawned. Now the enemy can just come into my base and crush me (the one I just fought with a couple of their leftover units, or worse, a third enemy).   * Upgrading units in the short term seems a waste as I have so few.   * Buying a hero takes too long (and I also might not have hero upgrades yet).   * Drop marines seems viable, but if I go for teched mercs, they're weaker than the enemies'.   * If I manage to buy an extra savior, I might surprise them, but that seems a waste if they're attacking me with just a handful of units. Also, it's hard to get if you don't have map control.   * Defensive structures seem useless against late game units. Often people just camp around in their base, and wait for someone else to make the first move and lose. This sort of gameplay undermines the game and is not fun so I'd like to apply a strategy that is more participatory. How I can quickly turn my surplus money into dps in the late game or is this even possible?


Marine Arena: Goliath multi-lock weapons system?

I'm wondering if the Goliath's multi-lock weapons system is worth its money. It costs 300 minerals at the merc building. I think the update is the same as in the campaign, and allows the goliath to fire anti-air and anti-ground weapons simultaneously. So if you are attacking air and ground at the same time, it is like you have twice the firepower, right? Or does the update just make the Goliath switch between anti-air and anti-ground without any delay? Is there otherwise a delay between switching targets? Is it worth the money, compared to the Goliath upgrade in the middle building, or a weapons upgrade?

Editing Kerbal Space Program save files for KSO

Currently I've got a communications satellite in almost geosynchronous orbit around Kerbin. Unfortunately, it is not where I want it (I'd like it to be over the space center) and the orbit is off by enough that eventually it'll make a difference. I figure at this point I am as close as I'm ever going to be and I'd rather just cheat a little and edit the save files. Unfortunately, I don't know quite what I'm doing and I don't want to mess up. Can anyone help me understand what I need to edit and do?

What tasks should I try to accomplish in the first 20 days?

Clearly Don't Starve is a sandbox game, and you have quite a bit of freedom to play the game as you please. (Quite frankly, I've spent a lot of the time wandering around the game fairly aimlessly.) But, I'm wondering if there are certain tasks that should take a higher priority within the first 20 days. Clearly, building a Science Machine and/or an Alchemy Machine are very high priorities. And, next I typically have been trying to acquire some warmer clothing. But, where should I be focusing my attention from here? Should I be building structures? Farms? Exploring the landscape? Basically, I'm looking for a Quick Start guide to having a successful long game.


How can I not snap people's necks (or only snap it a little bit)?

So the wall-punching augmentation (in the Cybernetic Arm Prosthesis augmentation tree) allows you to punch through weak walls, but will automatically have you snap the neck of anyone standing on the other side of them. Am I correct in assuming this will ruin a pacifist playthrough? Is there any way to do a non-lethal wall-punch and only snap his neck a little bit?


What are the criteria to gain the stealth bonus experience at the end of missions?

What are the rewards you can receive at the end of missions for a stealth approach and how does it compare versus killing every enemy you come across in terms of experience and rewards. Can I do take downs on enemies I come across and still receive the Ghost bonus? Since technically no one has seen me. Also, do turrets count as being detected by a hostile?


Is the scythe worth buying?

I currently have 2.8m candies and I am saving for the scythe, but is it worth 5m? Isn't there any other boss or something I can kill and get a better weapon?


Can champions increase attack speed by auto-attack cancelling?

According to this Irelia guide, if you cancel the animation early then your next auto-attack will start sooner (I could be interpreting it wrong - it could simply mean that staying close to your opponent will allow you to do more damage). > Basically put, the auto attack animation will apply damage before it is > fully finished, so you can cancel it halfway through, move up a little, and > reactivate the auto attack. It is difficult to master, but once you do learn > it, you can attack 3 times in what would normally be 2. My question is, can you effectively increase your attack speed with AA animation cancelling? If you time the animation cancel right by moving in between autos, can you attack faster? As a dedicated AD Carry player, I feel like I should know this by now. Note: For info on what animation cancelling is, see this page.

Waiting for things is tedious, is there any way to speed up the passage of time?

Can't join multiplayer server

In Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare 1, when I connect to a server, it shows an error after showing setting up a game. What should I do to solve this problem ? Using Windows 8   Error Shows `Code_post_gfx_mp.ff is different from the server` or `Main/iw_13.iwd is different from the server`


Mid-range weapon balance

I was wondering in a straight up fight with no missed shots how the BR, DMR, and Carbine compare? Is it like Halo 3 where the combine shoots faster, but time wise needs 1 more shot? Basically if you start shooting at the exact same time and every shot lands which gun wins? I haven't had a chance to test this yet.


Is it possible to unlock achievements multiple times on your Windows Live account if you have multiple copies of the game?

I have two copies of Batman Arkham Aslyum. A windows live version I bought from WalMart, and a steam version. I've already unlocked all of the achievements with the version I bought from WalMart, but I'm curious if I can unlock all of the achievements again with the Steam version. If I have two different copies of a game, each with its own unique CD key, and activate both of those games on my Windows Live account, will I be able to unlock the achievements twice?


Does the Bola Shot's Imminent Doom stack?

If I shoot a monster multiple times with Bola Shot Imminent Doom (which has a 2 second delay before exploding), do the shots stack?


How is ranged damage calculated?

I have a dwarven bow of frost and ancient nord arrows. Dwarven bow - 20 damage   Frost enchantment - 10 damage   Ancient nord arrows - 10 damage Would it calculate 20+10 to give each arrow 30 damage (ignoring enchantments for now)? Or does it take an average of them, giving each 15 damage? Or does it take the highest, thus 20 damage? Is the enchantment calculated afterwards (and would it be affected by the sneak bonus/critical hits)?


If the average price of a Humble Indie Bundle goes up, will I get the games that are added later?

Will I get the additional games, or will I have to pay more, to reach the future average price?


Why don't doors stack?

I can understand the logic behind tools/armor not stacking in my inventory, due to each having their own wear & tear. However, I cannot understand why doors cannot stack. Does anyone have any reasonable logic or justification why they cannot?


Why do I randomly get more Estus Flasks?

I have noticed while playing that sometimes there is a loud cracking noise and my character glows white, after which I get an additional Estus Flask. Why is this happening? Is it related to being near areas where there are bosses? Example: I idled right before the entrance to the Gaping Dragon boss fight. During that time, I gained two Estus Flasks for a total of 12. Another time I was fighting one of the knights in the Undead Burg church below the Bell Gargoyle area when this happened.


No new story missions in borderlands 2

I am playing Borderlands 2 in True vault hunter mode on a PC. I have no new story missions. The last mission I completed is 'A damn fine rescue' the bunker stuff. I tried to switch to normal mode, but it is the same problem there too. No new story missions and the last mission I did is 'Hungry like skag', where I have to kill Donkino's mother in Lynchwood. My commando character level is 51 both in TVHM and normal mode. Moreover all the items in vending machine, Dr. Zed and marcus are also of level 48 or lower. I recently got Moxxi's good and bad touch, they are also of level 48. Why do I have these problems? :( Any fix for this? Thanks a lot! **Update** : I just wanted to add that if I go to Oasis in true vault hunter mode all the enemies are leveled up also the vending machines and loot! PS: I already read this Is there a fix for the bugged playthrough 2 in Borderlands 2? it didn't solve my issue.

How can we be effective with the Huntress in Dungeon Defenders?

We played a couple hours of Dungeon Defenders last night, with new characters starting at character level 1 and getting up to around character level 7. We played on normal difficulty with 1 of each class: Apprentice, Squire, Monk, and Huntress. All throughout, it seemed like our Huntress was being severely outclassed: she had fewer kills, less damage, and far less effective static defenses than all the other characters. The fact that her traps go away quickly and she can only really ping single targets from afar seemed to really hamper her ability to put out damage. The rest of us were blowing the snot out of goblins left and right. Were we doing something wrong? Is the Huntress just worse than the other characters, or do we not know how to play her properly? How can we make her effective, thus ensuring all players have an orc-slaying good time?


Can "Goodbye" challenge be completed on maps besides Seatown?

The "Goodbye" challenge requires that you fall more than 30 ft to your death. The only place I've found where this is possible is the well on Seatown. I've fallen to my death plenty of times, but only got the challenge at the well. Are there other locations where it is possible?


Is there any way I can swing my ultra greatsword faster?

I have an ultra greatsword named Greatsword. I have enough stamina to do few swings, but it takes too much time to swing the sword or to recover from the swing animation, leaving me vulnerable to attacks. Is there any way to increase the swing speed/recover ratio for ultra greatswords?


How to change the difficulty of a field in GemCraft Chasing Shadows?

GemCraft Chasing Shadows is finally out, after months of waiting! For some reason, I don't manage to change the difficulty of a given field, even when I try redoing them. It seems I need more shadow cores for it, but I can't find how many, and the difficulty stays at "Looming". Anybody know more about this?


Can I treat my fish to too much food?

I never had any luck with pets when I was a kid. My parakeets died after a week. My bunny died after two days. My goldfish died within 6 hours. I was told I overfed the poor things. I never had any pets after them again. Probably for the best, at that rate. Then comes Mass Effect and the aquarium. Poor fish have no idea what's coming. Every time I go into my room, I smack the feed button, just to be safe. But am I being too safe? Is it possible to overfeed these digital fish? I don't even want to think about what happened to my poor Tamagotchi...

How do all the flashbang-like grenades work?

There are three flashbang-like grenades in Planetside 2: heavy assault troopers get a _concussion grenade_ , light assaults use _flash grenades_ , and infiltrators can carry _EMP grenades_. They all have a similar purpose: disable hostiles, making it easier for your squad to sweep the area and making return fire more difficult. But they seem to have different effects. What other differences are there? What is their effect radius? Is there effect reduced at further range? Is there some indication that a target is affected by such a grenade? Basically, I'd like a fairly in-depth description of all these devices.


JaeDong Mutalisk Micro

The Broodwar progamer JaeDong is famous for his Muta Micro. I was a Broodwar player and now I'm a Starcraft 2 player, and I was fascinated with that micro. Reasearching, I discovered in the custom map Darglein's Micro Trainer, one of the Zerg challenges is "Jaedong Mutas". I was interested in understanding and practicing that micro, but in a recent interview, JaeDong says: _I tried to microing them in the Brood War way, but it wasn't working out. To be honest, I'm getting really stressed out over that part. That micro made me different from everyone else in Brood War, and I won a lot of games on that micro alone. Since that's gone, I'm trying to play Starcraft II with a wide variety of units, so I'm skilled on the whole._ **In the end, I think that I don't understand the point of "JaeDong Muta Micro", and why is it so different and hard to do in SC2?** _Thanks for all, I'm really impressed with high level of the replies. I wish I can select 2 answers, but I can't, so I will mention theDecency answer here too._


How do I activate the Cheat Mod in Zombes ModPack?

I recently installed Zombes Mod Pack on Minecraft. I know that I installed it correctly because the other mod I enabled that lets me reach farther does work. I then moved onto the cheat mod and set it up like I set up the other. I had Minecraft closed at the time and when I started up Minecraft again, there was no error. I then checked what the key to activate Cheat Mode multiple times, but when I hit it it would not turn on, therefore I can't see the part I activated. Is there something I am doing wrong? I have uncommented the mod and each thing I wanted, and I removed all the spaces. My only worry is that the key controls I entered were wrong and unrecognized. Here is my config folder: ![Here is my config folder showing how I set up the Cheat Mod:](http://i.stack.imgur.com/1AK69.png)

Which save file should I use for the Extended Cut DLC?

I am unsure which of the following save files I should be using for the extended cut DLC:   * Before the attack on the Cerberus base (i.e. last possible place with galactic wide access)    * Before the attack on earth    * Before the last cutscene on earth (right after fighting the last banshee group) Which one will allow me to access all the new DLC content?


Do I need a higher level tool to implant?

I currently have a TL30 Remote Implant Tool which I use for implanting other people, I have noticed that I can poke implants higher than TL30 with this tool on other people, but when I am using a Personal Implant Tool I need to have a tool with an equal or higher level than the implant I am trying to poke in order to succeed. Am I able to poke all implants of any tech level with a TL30 Remote Implant Tool or will I need to get a TL150 tool in order to implant tech level 115 implants?

Do merchants ever sell legendary items?

I've seen mostly Magic (blue) quality items on merchants. Occasionally, I see a Rare (yellow) item. The rare items tend to appear about as often as they drop out in the world, at least from my experience. That's got me wondering: **Is it possible for a merchant to have a legendary item in his shop?**


How do I rotate items in the Portal 2 Map Creator (DLC, not Hammer)

I've dropped back into Portal 2 as the Map Creator DLC has recently been released. This allows you to create maps (from basic through to advanced) with a number of limitations. However, I cannot, for the life of me, work out how to rotate things. I have this ramp: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Yh9mL.jpg) How can I get it to face the exit, rather than looking at the wall? I've tried all manner of keyboard keys and shift-click, ctrl-click.


How do I glide in "Batman: Arkham City" during the "Demon Trials"?

I am playing **_Batman: Arkham City_** on the PC (Windows). I am stuck on the _Demon Trials_ level where one has to follow a blue path through the air by alternating between gliding and dive bombing. I have looked online, and everywhere says the same thing. One simply holds down `W+Space` to glide, and `W+Space+Left CTRL` to dive bomb. So, essentially, one should just hold down `W+Space` the whole time, and switch between holding down the `Left CTRL` and not holding it down, in order to dive bomb or not, respectively. However, every single time, I start in glide mode, then I do a dive bomb, and as soon as I let go of the `Left CTRL` button, Batman stops gliding and plummets to the ground like a bag of wet cement. I have read some things that seem to indicate pulling back (or forward) on the mouse makes a difference, but not as far as I've experienced. I've also tried every variation I can think of for how I switch between keys and which ones I hold down in what order, but nothing makes a difference. How can I get Batman to glide and dive bomb using a PC keyboard and mouse as is necessary to pass this level?

How to test map vision / how to open bnet maps in map editor

I can't think of a way to do it, because if I'm building the buildings, then I cannot tell whether the opponent can see them. One idea was to try the map editor, placing buildings there and testing the map, but I can't find any battle.net maps on my local hard drive. Where are they?

When do you get Schneider's Codec frequency?

So, I was re-playing Metal Gear on the PS2 (which is the MSX version, not the NES version), and Big Boss mentioned calling Schneider to get the location of the gas mask. However, Schneider has not contacted me at this point... given that this game originally came out in 1987, how am I supposed to get his frequency without resorting to looking it up on the Internet? Additionally, the game's script implies that he will call you and give you his frequency, but it hasn't happened in any of the rooms I could access using Card 1.

Optimal way to increase heavy armor skill?

I'm trying to fast track my heavy armor skill, mostly so I can get the `Conditioning` perk (since my armor takes up such a ridiculous portion of my overall carrying capacity). So far, I've only found two ways to increase my heavy armor skill: paying for training (which gets pretty expensive!), or actually getting hit by enemies. The problem with the first option is that it will quickly bankrupt me, the problem with the second option is that it tends to _kill_ me. Has anyone found a good way to "farm" up your heavy armor skill?


What are the stats for the DLC weapons?

In Tomb Raider multiplayer, there are six DLC weapons that can be bought. They refer to Hitman: Absolution. Tomb Raider: Hitman: Absolution Weapons Pack   Agency SPS 12 (shotgun)   HX AP-15 (rifle)   Silverballer (pistol) Tomb Raider: Hitman: Absolution Weapons Pack 2   JAGD P22G (pistol)   M590 12ga (pump shotgun)   STG 58 Elite (rifle) I don't know of a way to check their stats before purchase except by asking someone else who already has them. What are their stats (good resolution screenshots)? Is it also true that at least one of the weapons' sound is suppressed?

Which recruitable characters lock out other recruitment choices?

I have started a new game of ''Chrono Cross'' after completing it a long, long while ago. I don't remember any details about the companions. I did some FAQ checking and it turns out some characters being recruited locks out others. I'd just like to know, in a minimal spoiler fashion, which ones I should be on the lookout for. For example, in my newly started game, I started going for Pierre because I didn't remember recruiting him in my first playthrough… but the FAQ I've checked reveals getting him is permanently locking out Nikki and Guile, which I'm sure I would prefer. I did save beforehand so I'll revert this and go for Nikki probably. So, similarly, I'd like to be warned in advance of such "risky" lock-outs so I can make a decision and get the right characters.


I have got myself a Venture mining ship with a pair of mining lasers on it, and have seen others mining from multiple targets at once but can't seem to work out how I'm meant to do this myself. When I target the first asteroid and use a mining laser, this will start mining from the targeted asteroid. If I then target the second asteroid and use the second mining laser, this laser begins to mine from the originally targeted asteroid (which already has a laser mining it). How can I mine from two asteroids at once?


What formula is used for the increase in training speed by having multiple barracks

I was under the impression (apparently mistakenly) that having multiple barracks of a level capable of training a given troop would allow you to spread the training around. For example, if I have a troop who requires a level 6 barracks to train, and my barracks are levels `7 6 5 4`, then it will train twice as fast. If I instead trained a troop who required level 5, it would train 3x as fast since I have 3 barracks to train them at. However, I experimented with this and it had no effect. I am unable to empirically determine any pattern (or for that matter, even notice a difference) in training speed as a result of having multiple barracks. My attempts to search for such a formula has proved unfruitful. What is the formula for determining training speed? (I'm playing Battle for the North if that makes a difference - there wasn't a tag for it, and I'm not experienced enough in the game to know if there's a difference between the two!)

Does Saturn have a weak spot?

I understand that Saturn, being an armoured enemy, is vulnerable to corrosive attacks. However, he has a stunning amount of health and the damage he is able to kill me in one hit. I plan to level up once again before I attack him but I would like to know his weak spot so as to make him easier to kill. I have attempted to hit the weak spot of the other bots. such as its the wires in between his armour but no avail. **Why is this so? Is it because I am hitting the wrong spot? If so, where is his weak spot?**


How do not let the game close itself

This game's behaviour is absolutely unpredictable. Sometimes you can do stuff in another apps for a long time, then return to TDS and find it still ruinning, and sometimes you only minimize TDS, and it closes. Has anyone there found out which is the optimal way of dealing with this so you can open other apps and won't have to wait for the app to open all the time?


Would an illusion + archery build work? Do I need magicka for it?

I want to make a build with full archery, full illusion, full light armor, partial sneak and non combat perks. Would a build like this work? I'm thinking I could use stealth+archery and illusion+dagger. How should I develop my magicka (if at all?). I know that there is a way to enchant 0% magic cost equipment, but that's probably late-game, and I'm not going to be a full-blown mage anyway so I think I would want to go for other more useful enchants.


How much max mana pool size do you get by wave 100 in Gemcraft Labyrinth?

I am trying to get high scores in Gemcraft. So I am trying to apply some of the techniques explained here and here. I am using only Summoning Giants and some other modifiers. The base gem I am using is a Lime*2+Yellow+Orange. I am getting stuck around wave 130-140 because I can hardly upgrade the killer gem, mostly because my max mana pool size is not high enough. So, how much max mana pool size do you get by wave 100 in Gemcraft Labyrinth? Thanks!


What does body size affect?

In _Dragon's Dogma_ , what aught are affected by my choice of height and weight? In most games the answer is naught, but I've seen short, thin characters climb much faster than my fat old man.


How is damage calculated for Way of the Hundred Fists?

The Monk's `Way of the Hundred Fists` ability comes with a base tag of `140% weapon damage`. Simple enough, but the skill in itself is composed of seven punches. Again, simple enough, but then, the damage counts of each hit is a bit different (easily visible if you have damage amounts shown). It acts like `HIGH - LOW x 5 - HIGH` as far as damage is concerned. I'm not too well versed with Diablo 3's damage calcs (am just trying to enjoy the game with an easy N/NM run right now), so just being curious. How is the damage calculated for WotHF? Provided I have a base damage of 1500, I'd assume that WotHF is ~2100 damage. Is that in total (i.e. `700 + 140 x 5 + 700`), or each hit tier (i.e. `2100 + 700 x 5 + 2100`), or some other gleeful calculation (i.e. `1050 + random x 5 + 1050` or something)?


Starcraft 2: Is there a way to auto assign units to a ctrl group?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  In StarCraft 2, is there a way to automatically set groups on units about > to be produced? When I'm battling in SC2, I often set my Barracks rally point to to a unit I try to keep safe so when a new Marine is created it will move over to where my view is.. I'd actually like to be able to set the Marine, Firebat, Vulture, whatever unit to be auto assigned to a control group on creation, so that I can just hit 1 and attack instead of waiting for that unit to appear in my view then add it to the group. Is this possible? Or am I asking for the impossible? :D Thanks.

Bad Company 2 - Any way to remove/disable C4?

The last few nights I've killed dudes at MCOMs after they've put the C4 on it. When they die though, the C4 stays on the MCOM (this is stupid IMO - BF2 handled it much better). So someone else just throws a grenade in and the MCOM gets nearly 50% damage on it. Is there a way to disable/remove it after killing someone who has placed it? This also happened on a tank I was in.


Where are void container mods located?

I would like to get Shotgun Spaz which is listed on the wiki as being found from a void container. Does this mean it drops from any breakable container within a void mission or from a locker? Also, is there a good place to search for these? What I've been doing is running various tier exterminate missions and exploring with Master Thief and Thief's Wit mods equipped. I have not found any mods drop from a container or from a locker which drove me to ask. Should I be looking for them in derelicts?


How many possible times can one play through Altered Beast?

My brother and I played through this and got part way through the second run before we died completely. Is there a limit on the number of play throughs, where meaningful changes will occur to the sprites and the game play? Or is there a final 'win' that you can attain?


Is that possible to create a Villager who sells pufferfish? When I'm typing /summon Villager ~ ~1 ~ {Offers:{Recipes:[{maxUses:10,buy:{id:388,Count:5},sell:{id: **349** ,Count:3}}]}} he sells raw fish. I tried to type " **349:3** "," **#0349/3** ", even " **minecraft:fish 1 3** " But always, he either gives me raw fish, either nothing (just empty slot, game crashes when this slot "bought") So, is that possible? Same thing goes for colored wool/clay, I believe.

What are some AOE/multi-unit damage items in dota 2?

We recently had a game were a PL settled on that hero at the last moment, and our team has no heroes with AOE abilities. Pick strategies aside, what are some items we could have gotten to do AOE damage and identify the illusions?


What does Yasuo's Wind Wall not block?

It blocks everything from skillshots to even auto-attacks, but is there any skills that go through it? Things I have in mind would be dashes or certain attacks like Lux's ult. How does it interact with returning spells (Ahri Q, Draven ult) or AOE spells. Do those spells still return to Ahri/Draven or just dissipate? Does AOE counter this wall such as Nasus or lux E's? Are bouncing projectiles blocked as they hit the wall?


Barbarian Throwing Weapons

After using the Level 14 Barbarian skill "Weapon Throw" in Diablo 3 with a Carver equipped, I presume that the weapon is magical? This is nothing like the "throwing weapons" from Diablo 2, in which, if I recall correctly, you had to equip the correct weapon type?


Are the ships only different in appearance?

There appear to be six unlockable ships. They don't have any tooltips or anything, so I'm thinking maybe their just for aesthetics? Do the different ships behave any different from one another? ![Ship Selection](http://i.stack.imgur.com/15Nol.jpg)
