Is the Orange Guidance Soapstone item consumable?

I've seen that the first merchant found in _Undead Burg_ is selling the _Orange Guidance Soapstone_ item. The in-game description of the item is: > Online play item. Write/view/rate message. > > Messages transmit to other worlds, where they are rated. Also, rate messages > of others. > > In Lordran, the flow of time is distorted, and messages allow Undead to > assist (or deceive) one another. So, it appear that in contrast to _Demon's Souls_ , I need this item to leave message to other players. What I'm wondering is whether or not this is a consumable item? Will I need to buy a new one each time I want to leave or rate a message? And isn't the description misleading? Because, I've not yet bought it, but I'm already able to see some message on the ground.


How can I get Big Red Racing working on Windows 7?

I recently unearthed an old Big Red Racing CD. I'd love to be able to play a game (I used to be _really_ good!), but have no idea how to get it working on a modern machine. What should I do?


Can you acquire The Infinity Blade other than buying with earned gold?

Is there a way to get The Infinity Blade other than finding/earning the roughly 500000 gold required to buy it from the store? I love the game, but don't fancy a grind-a-thon or in-app purchase to get it.


"ERROR" displayed on head items

In game, instead of hats (any other than default) a big 3D red "ERROR" is displayed. It used to work well till the update (the one when everyone got that paper boat hat). After loading a character's hat (in menu or in game no difference), the game would crash, and after few more updates I'm stuck with the "ERROR hat". Anyone else got this, are there any fixes or updates planned? _NOTE_ : I didn't use any mods, touch Steam files or other things that would result in missing data. Screenshot

Is there a chance to lose all your enchantments when enchanting an item?

In the first game, there was only one enchanter in the game who could enchant your items as many times as you want if you had the money and were brave enough to chance at losing all your enhancements. The more you enchant an item, the more likely that he'd screw it up and you lose your enchantments on that item forever. Fast forward to the next game, you have a limited amount of enchantments that can be applied to an item but you now have the option to remove enchantments for some money. **Is there a chance that attempting to enchant an item _now_ can remove all enchantments on your item?** I've saved up enough money to enchant my best weapons so I will be enchanting as much as I can. I'd just hate to lose everything.


A safe way to get Rivet City Security Uniform?

In addition to collecting as many unique items as I can, late (late) in this most recent run of Fallout 3, I've been trying to get at least one sample of each kind of weapon and armor. It's not like I'm running off a list (as I am with the uniques), but if I know of something that I don't have, well, I want it. One of those items is the Rivet City Security Uniform. Now the obvious answer is to just whack one of the guards. And I would -- I have, in fact tried it, sneaking (fully hidden) and with a one-shot-kill weapon (MPLX Megasurge). I specifically tried to whack the guard outside Rivet City, as he seemed to be the most "exposed." However, his compatriots (including the officer in charge of handing out water with Broken Steel) still turned red and, as soon as I stopped sneaking, opened fire. I don't want Rivet City mad at me (at least, not until I commit mass murder), so what's the safest way to go about getting me some of that sweet, sweet Security Uniform goodness until then?

Windows Steam games on a Mac with WINE?

I love my MacBook (2008, aluminum, Intel processor with the low-end nVidia chipset). I don't like running Windows. I don't want a Windows Bootcamp partition, because I found I never used it. (I really only used it for Oblivion, and even then stopped eventually because I enjoyed it more on the XBox, and hated the reboot-into-Windows process.) I'm using WINE to run Fallout and Fallout 2, with great success. I also have the Steam client, which I've used to get Portal and a second copy of Civ IV (+ addons, mostly so I didn't need the DVD with me). What I want to know is, can I buy a Windows game from the Steam client for the Mac, and then run it via WINE? If so, do I need to take any special precautions? (For instance, my current `winecfg` emulates a 640x480 desktop to enable Fallout and Fallout 2.)


Am I stuck in an endless battle?

![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3t8Dh.jpg) As you can see, I cannot escape because my fuel is empty. The enemy can't penetrate my shield but I can't damage him either. What could I do other than killing my crew by opening my airlocks?


Can you change your crew after the heist is planned?

I just finished evaluating the jewelry I want to rob, as well as choosing my crew and how to rob the place. Now, I'm on my way to steal a Pest Control van, when suddenly that programmer from Life Invader whom I helped with his pop-up virus problem, called me and asked me if I could get him a job. Now since the heist is already planned, I was curious if I can't switch my current hacker with that guy, after I evaluate his skill and the share he wants. Is there a way to do this, and how?


How can I view my known spells?

What's the point of premium ammo for SU-26?

As I look at params of premium ammo for it seems it's only worse than standard. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/03QGN.jpg)                                    Standard: Premium:            Penetration:  60-100    56-94 (Worse!)

Do I get anything for the minigame at the beginning of Basic Braining - Obstacle Course 2?

I'm at the second part of the Basic Braining level and there's a minigame where I have to punch cardboard cutouts. I need to get a certain amount of points in X seconds. I've done the first few rounds and received Arrowheads for doing them, but I've failed one of the later ones a couple times now, and I'm wondering if I should just move on at this point. Do I actually get anything else for going further in this minigame or is it just a way to grind out more Arrowheads?


In Skyrim, the console command to set a follower as essential is not working. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to change my companion to essential so they don't keep dying on me. However, the console command is not working for some reason. The code:               setessential <baseID> 1      should work (it has worked before with others), but when I type               isessential <baseID>      it comes back to 0. I can confirm it's not working, because my follower is still dying, which would not happen if they were essential. Why is it not working? What am I doing wrong?

Can my save games be salvaged?

I've been away from Crusader Kings for a while, to focus on more important things in life (mainly Europa Universalis 4). I run my game through Steam, so it autoupdates even if I don't play it for a while. I thought that was pretty smart, but when I boot up the game now, I get this sad screen: ![CK2 savegame screen](http://i.stack.imgur.com/QA2Jd.png) There is no "load" button, and clicking the game slot does nothing. It seems my old save is no longer compatible with my game. I've invested 80 hours in this save, and have worked my way up from lowly duke to triple-king on the brink of conquering my fourth kingdom and becoming an emperor. **Is there any possible way to salvage my savegame?** Can I convert it to a newer version?   Can I create a new game based exactly on my old save? Surely Paradox didn't just corrupt every game save for every player in a single update, so I guess it's because I am too many versions behind. Can I install an older version of the game locally and gradually update the save along with the game?


What's the maximum player level?

There is an achievement/trophy for getting to "the maximum player level" (unspecified in the text of said achievement/trophy). In researching, I found the highest unlock comes at player level 53 (the joke weapons). Is that the highest player level? If not, what is?


In Skyrim, I received a Letter of Inheritance from the courier, but it is blank! Is this a bug or is it supposed to be blank?

In Skyrim, after beginning the "Battle for Whiterun" and exiting the Palace of the Kings, the courier runs up to me and delivers a Letter of Inheritance. He says, "Here is a letter and a lot of gold - oh, and, sorry for your loss". However, the letter is blank! All it says is "In the name of the Jarl" and nothing else. I feel like there should be more, but I can't be certain. I'm afraid that after the Lydia running away incident after I got married to someone else (read my other question for more details), she seemed very emotionally unstable/upset, and that maybe when discovering that I had chosen to battle Whiterun, it was too much for her and she committed suicide! That would be terrible! Is this a bug or is the letter supposed to be blank? Did Lydia commit suicide? I cannot figure out if there is supposed to be a mystery or if this is just a game bug.

Whats with the octagon?

From time to time I see a MASSIVE (at least 800 range diameter) blue octagon (or hexagon, it's gone too quick to be sure) on champions. It's gone in about 2-3 seconds everytime, too quickly for me to screenshot it by the time I realize it's there. I'll keep trying though. Further details: It's not a perfect shape, it has runes or mini shapes within it, some look like triangles, almost as if its several shape's outlines stacked on top of each other at different axi. Whats with this thing? Has anyone else seen it?

Is it possible to understand (follow the story line) of Assassins Creed II, without having played Assassins Creed I?

I have never played any version of Assassins Creed but have read many good reviews about the series. In particular, the 2nd version (Assassins Creed II) seems to be most highly acclaimed. Having never played the game, I figure I would start with Assassins Creed II, but I am afraid I would not understand the full story line/plot of version II, without having played Assassins Creed I. However, I don't necessarily want to invest all the time to play and beat Assassin's Creed I, only to get to the 2nd ('better') version. Is it possible to understand the storyline plot of II simply by watching cutscenes from version I and/or reading wikipedia sites about version I? Would I be missing out on anything by taking this approach? This is for the Xbox 360 incase that makes a difference.


Fraps runs fine for an hour or so, then the framerate crashes

Whenever I record footage with Fraps, everything will run silky smooth at 60 fps for about an hour or so, but then the framerate will constantly lag at 1-15 fps. This will happen when playing any game. I have plenty of free HDD space. Here are my PC specs:               AMD Phenom II 3.4Ghz     Radeon HD 6870     8GB DDR3 RAM     Seagate Barracuda 1TB      Here are my Fraps settings:               60 fps     30-sec loop buffer     Lock framerate both on and off      Does anyone know what could be causing this? If not, then what would you suggest as an alternate recording software? (NOT CamStudio or Camtasia)

Is it possible to get a Bob to move without killing him?

On levels that have Bobs in them, the Bobs frequently get stuck - jammed together in narrow hallways and such, blocking them. On levels such as The Rose (Marathon 1) where your mission is to keep as many from being killed as possible, it's kind of counterproductive to kill the Bobs to get them out of the way; but if they're blocking the door to an important comm terminal then sometimes there's no choice but to kill them. Is there any way to 'prod' a Bob to move in the other direction without hurting or killing him?

Which enemy abilities are affected by silence?

Torchlight 2 has many status effects that can be applied to monsters. However, they seem to be poorly documented (if at all.) One of these is `silence`, which has a spell dedicated to it, is a byproduct of the nether imp's attack, and is an effect produced by many magical weapons. Its official spell description is this: > Silences enemies within 8 meters, preventing them from using most skills. **Which abilities/monsters are affected?** (The only one that I think I've noticed is the basilisk's immobilizing gaze.)


Ground getting polluted by itself?

After logging in to the game, I suddenly found out most of my city ground is getting poluted. The issue is that, I am running 'green' town, and there was no polution over many days of gameplay, and suddenly lots of it being generated. Also the polution is in very interesting 'mini squares', please look on screenshots as reference. Question: Why is my city getting polluted? That makes little sense and completely ruined my city. ![Random pollution](http://i.stack.imgur.com/nV5JQ.jpg) More pictures of the situation (fullscreen):   1. Overall ground pollution overlay   2. Air pollution overlay (Bare in mind the Garbage dump would not give me any trouble for the last IRL week of playing this city)   3. Germs overlay (Obviously, as the ground is all poluted)   4. Sewage overlay   5. Water pollution overlay (Notice the stripes!)   6. Garbage overlay (They manage to collect all garbage by around 10PM each day) All that is happening enormously fast, there was 0 pollution '2 in-game days' ago, and it it keeps growing. I also have filled all the spaces with trees, but the generated pollution is if all those buildings were Processors Factories.

Where can I find a pistol silencer in the single player campaign?

How can you get a silencer for the M12 Nova and Feline? I completed the game and during the whole playthough I only encountered one. During the mission "Lab Rat" where you are attacked by a Cell helicopter in Dr. Goulds lab, one enemy dropped a M12 Nova with a silencer. But I died and had to reload, and this time no enemy dropped one. During the rest of the game I examined (almost) every pistol or SMG dropped by enemies, but never found one with an attached silencer. Is there some guaranteed opportunity to pick one up which I missed or at least one situation where one drops with a high propability?

Whats the most common collective hp of any one hero?

Is there some way to accumulate the data and find, within the range of 400 hp give or take, the average number of hitpoints a champion has? Regardless of their inventory build or perhaps even including that factor? Bonus points for including the per level of exp. The purpose of this question is to formulate an exact plan to do the required amount of damage to an enemy champion at any given moment to bring your dps to the point of 'usually' killing for sure. Sure, some heroe's cant burst appropriatly enough, but those that can could really benefit from such a stradegy. You know the 'point' in your build where your effectiveness dps will (usually) allow you to 1v1 a hero.


How do attacks work in Diablo III?

Does Diablo 3 use a single-roll attack table, or does each possibility get rolled separately. For instance, on a single roll table, any given attack has X% chance to hit, Y% chance to crit, Z% chance to be dodged, and A% chance to be blocked. The alternative is a cascade, where each possibility is tried in order. I.e., Was it dodged? No, then was it blocked? No, then did it crit? No, so it's a normal hit. Gearing strategies change a little depending on which method is used, so I was hoping someone could shed some light on this.

Why do FPS games for consoles include a sensitivity setting?

How to tend to a wounded dwarf?

I was building a vertical tunnel down multiple levels when I realized that one of my other dwarves had already dug the lower half. When the poor dwarf dug through the upper half, he fell multiple stories and is now lying there unconscious and with both arms and both legs broken. Now what? I don't have a doctor or anyone trained in caring for wounded dwarves yet, how do I proceed from here? * * * **Edit #1** OK I followed the various ideas (thanks!) but before a medical dwarf could get to him, someone else moved him a few squares cause he was in the way (heh), and he woke up. His "thoughts and preferences" still have               His left upper leg is broken. His right lower arm is broken.     His left lower arm is broken. His right upper leg is broken      BUT he is taking digging jobs and seems to be acting like everything is OK. He also now has a "health" page but it says `No health problems`. Is this a bug or something I'm doing wrong? * * * **Edit #2** The problem was that the doctor had not taken a look at him and made a diagnosis. After he took a look, here is what I see (and it hurts to look):               left lower arm, bone      Needs setting      Smashed apart               right lower arm, bone      Needs setting      Smashed apart               left upper leg, bone      Needs setting      Smashed apart               right upper leg, bone      Needs setting      Smashed apart

Clash Of Heroes (iPhone): Completing Irollan

I've finished the main campaign in Clash of Heroes (iPhone version) and am now tidying up the side quests. On the Irollan world map there was a stat saying "8/12" I did everything i could find in Irollan (puzzles and bounty fights), and when i went back to the bounty hunter to get the last reward i got a popup saying "All side quests completed" or words to that effect. But, when i go back to the world map, Irollan has the completion stat saying "11/12". So, my question is - what else do i need to do to get up to 12/12? Is there anything _besides_ side quests that gets this stat up? cheers, max

Why throw candy on the ground?

What is the point of throwing candy on the ground using the "Throw 10 candies on the ground"? All that seems to happen is that the text under it becomes more and more disappointed in me. ಠ_ಠ


What is the limit on dropped candies?

I'm playing Candy Box 2 and on the Candy Box home screen you can drop 10 candies, I'm already in the room with huge candies and all the dude is doing is eating them, is there something after those candies that he is eating or does he just eat them no matter how many you drop?


Does anything else happen if I continue to throw candy on the ground?

So I've gotten to a stage where whenever I throw candy on the ground, the same thing keeps happening. Is there anything else that could happen? Or should I just stop throwing candy on the ground?

What features differ between the XBLA and PC versions of minecraft?

What differences does the Xbox 360 version of minecraft have compared to playing on the PC? **EDIT** : At the risk of this being too localized, I'm asking more about differences exclusive to each platform, not just differences of features that will most likely be added in future updates (for example, crafting). Otherwise, I feel like this question could become similar to a "What is the difference between Minecraft version x and version y" question, which isn't really what I'm asking. A simple "the XBLA minecraft runs version x of minecraft" is enough for that.

Standings gains from epic arcs?

In EVE Online there are a variety of Epic Arcs - one for each faction, a sisters of EVE arc, and a couple of pirate arcs. What reputation gains (corporate and faction) do I get from completing each arc? By completing the arc for a certain faction will I lose standards with other factions? Would it be possible to complete all of the epic arcs and if so would the standings gains and losses result in a net gain or would I lose standing overall by doing this?


How can I get more critical hits in my combos and maximize my combo meter?

At rank 12 of the Shadow Vigilante challenge, you have to get 20 critical hits in a single combo. In the previous games, getting criticals were relatively easy. Just attack immediately after you hit an enemy... But in this game, it seems criticals just don't seem to register when I think they should making getting this challenge more difficult than it really is. I'm also playing on hard so they tend to take swings at me very frequently so it's hard to get into a groove with the hits without getting hit back. **Any tips on how to get more critical hits in my combos in a fight so I can get to the next rank?**


Do calves jump?

This may seem like an odd question, but yes, this is what I wanted to know: do the baby cows jump occasionally, without specific reason? Rationale: I've built an automatic cow butchery. I have a manual "mercy switch" that lets me save baby cows and return them to the herd - but I failed to use it once, and a baby cow fell into the "lava blade" trap. And... it fit in the 1-block area right under the lava blade, on top of the hoppers. That means, it would get butchered and drop fried steaks as soon as it matures - if it lives that long. Although, the only way it can die now before reaching adulthood is by jumping up, into the lava. I'd have to sit and observe it for nearly 20 minutes to be sure that doesn't happen (and then I still wouldn't be sure if it wasn't just a non-jumpy calf). If they don't jump, I could just scratch the mercy switch and its ramp, and just let the calves await the cruel death coming with adulthood. (and for a fact, I know adult pigs do jump without good reason. One of them blundered onto my farmland and kept jumping in place until a block converted to soil.)


Does the train passing through mean anything?

Periodically (for example, today at 12:49) the level crossing barrier goes down and a train passes through my town without stopping. Does this have any meaning? Is it a sign of some event triggering / zone changing? Does it always happen along with, or instead of, some other thing in my town? Or is it just a random occurrence?


Unlocking all decks in Magic DotP 2014

I've played through the complete campaign, the revenge campaign, beat all but one challenges, unlocked all cards for two decks but still there are decks such as "Mind Maze" that I cannot play with. How do I unlock those?


Specify a particular path (track) for a train

Is it possible to force a train to use a particular section of track to reach a destination? I keep having problems attempting to use a bay platform in a station when they should be using a through platform to get to their destination, and consequently having to reverse and generally get in the way. EDIT: Another way of looking at this would be to reserve a particular section of track for use by only certain trains.


How accurate are the Steam playtimes?

Within Steam you can look at how much playtime you have for each game. It says that I have 73 hours of playtime for Anno 2070. I would have guessed that I would have somewhere around 10. Could this possibly just be an error causing this? Or is it more likely that I somehow left the game running for hours on end without remembering?


Steam with NFS Hot Pursuit: "Failed to contact key server" despite previous success while in offline mode

I've purchased NFS Hot Pursuit from Steam, and I was supplied a CD key and could run the game after downloading it. I was then able to run the game with Steam in offline mode, but at one point (after closing and restarting Steam), Steam returns the following error trying to start the game in offline mode: > ### Steam - Error > > Failed to contact key server. The problem cleared up once I got back online. However, Steam had previously acquired a CD key, and it's my understanding that a CD key should be permanent for the duration of a license, so why did this happen? Does Steam lose CD keys, and do they require online renewal?

The effect of Successful Portal Submissions being Removed from an Agent

If you discovered and submitted a Portal, and it got approved and added to the world, you then get x amount of AP, as well as +1 on the progress for the Seer Achievement. It could be, however, that the Portal is a duplicate of an existing Portal, or it is "invalid", which means other _Agents_ are going to flag it for removal. I want to know the following:   1. **How much AP** do you get **for each successful Portal** submission?   2. If the **Portal gets removed, do you lose the AP** you have gained?   3. If the **Portal gets removed, do you lose the +1 progress** on the achievement? Also - and this is the main reason I am asking this question - if you do lose AP or achievement progress due to the Portal being removed, and either one of these would make you **no longer meet the minimum requirements** for your current access level, **will you get demoted?**


What does leveling up weapon mods/attachments do?

Are enemies vulnerable to a specific weapon type?

I picked up Super Stardust HD as part of the PSN's "Welcome Back" package a few months ago, but I didn't have a proper go at it until yesterday. The game informs you early on that the three weapon types you posses are effective when trying to breakdown specific types of meteors (rock, gold and ice). However, the game's help hints that weapon vulnerabilities can be discerned from the color of what you are shooting at (green for rock smasher, red for gold cutter and blue for ice melter). While all enemies I've come across so far are indeed color coded, I can't say I've noticed them dying more quickly based on my weapon selection. Then again, the game is pretty hectic so I can't say I've been able to experiment. So are enemies really more vulnerable to the weapon corresponding to their color? What about bosses (The first boss has blue colored weak-spots)?

Sorry, I've never really followed speedrunning, so I apologize if this is obvious. Essentially, what I'm asking about are speedruns that simply play the game as it was intended to be played (no glitches, proper order / sequence), but quickly.


What's special about White Rats?

I got my first bone charm. Awesome! Unfortunately, I have no clue why it's supposed to be useful. The **Albino Whalebone Charm** increases the chance of encountering White Rats. I have no idea why this is beneficial. I know about the pre-order bonus that makes white rats non-hostile, but that hardly seems like a big deal here...

How can I clean up item drops on my server?

I'm running a private Minecraft server for a few friends. It's running the SMP technic pack for Minecraft Beta 1.8. We've started building some rather complex machines which produce a large amount of items. Sometimes, storage becomes an issue - and - with nowhere else to go, the items "pop" out of pipes and start to pile up in the world. The server begins to slow down gradually over time as the number of items continues to grow. I guess this is just something to expect from a mod like this. If the machine "malfunction" is left untreated for too long, it can cause the game to be unplayable; which is why I ask this question: * * * **Is there any way to remove excess items from the world? (i.e. floating items, not solid blocks or items in containers).** Preferably looking for an automated solution (mod) which caps the number of items in the world at one time. However, a manual solution would be great also.

Stop dragon attacks

I'm high level and finished the main quest, but my game is unplayable at the moment:   **It was said that every dragon fight is something special, why am I spammed with dragons like every 5 minutes then?**   I can not do anything in this game anymore, because a new dragon is just waiting for me. If that would just be out in the wild, ok, but I have 2 dragons raiding _Dawnstar_ , 1 old dragon _(not targeting me, but just attacking NPCs)_ **in** _Whiterun_ , ... Tried to kite them out of the city and then using _Dragon Fall_ _(they won't land on their own)_ , but that sometimes just results in them flying far away _(effect still "active")_ , just waiting for me to return next time. **How to deal with dragons or play the game without them?** _I recently resolved the civil war and one situation was that two dragons wiped a whole camp in 30 seconds._

Are there different outcomes for the Dark Brotherhood questline?

I'm near the end of the Dark Brotherhood questline and during my last mission, things went pretty badly. Now I'm wondering if my decisions had anything to do with it. Here's the situation: > Astrid is the one who sold me out to the Imperials and I've been taking her > orders from the very beginning. I delayed talking to Amaund at her request. > Following that, I killed Cicero instead of sparing his life. Thanks to her, > the Imperials mass-murdered my sanctuary and burned it to the ground. That > left me thinking that if I hadn't listened to her, things might be better > off. Does making different choices change the outcome of the Dark Brotherhood questline?

How long do corpses remain?

While constantly killing the same enemies for reputation, I noticed that an unlooted corpse remained in an area where I thought that I killed all of the enemies at the same time. It makes me wonder if that corpse remained there because it still had loot on it, or if I forgot to loot more than one of the corpses and some of the unlooted corpses disappeared. About how long do corpses remain on the ground? Is it random (and if so, is there a minimum time)? Does leaving the corpses unlooted increase the amount of time that they can remain lying around?


How can I tell whether an attack is blockable?

What stealth elements are in Half-Life 2 and how does the enemy AI detect the player?

I would like to know what stealth elements are in Half-Life 2 and how does the enemy AI detect the player. Specifically, I would like to know:   * Can enemies detect by sound?     * Will weapon sounds (gunfire, grenade explosion, crowbar hit sound) alert them? (even if not hitting them, but are within their earshot)      * Will walking or crouch walking lessen sound (compared to sprinting)?    * Can enemies detect light levels?     * Do enemies detect light from the flashlight (and are you more likely to be detected with the flashlight on)?      * Will hiding in dark places work?    * Do enemies see behind their backs (i.e. Can you can sneak up on them if their backs are turned to you)?    * Does hiding behind objects work (or do enemies see through objects)?    * Are enemies alerted forever? (i.e. If they detected you, will they be permanently be on alert for you, or will they go back to their previous routine once you have been out of their sight for some time)    * Do enemies alert each other if one of them has sighted you (or is detection, per individual enemy unit)?    * Does the enemy notice you if you are near their vicinity (relative to enemy's location) or is enemy detection of the player scripted (fixed), and you can't avoid detection once you are in a certain area?    * Any enemies with unique behavior when it comes to player detection? You may have noticed that this is similar to my other question about Black Mesa. Please see this meta discussion on why they are posted separately.


Is "+% chance" additive or multiplicative?

For items and Badass Tokens that boost things like Elemental Effect Rate (which is a % itself), is the added percent applied multiplicatively or additively? For example, the Siren's skill that adds 5% elemental chance. If I get +5% chance and I use a gun with 5% chance to burn do I have 10% chance now or 5.something%? Are Badass tokens the same as the skill/item boosts in this regard?

Can I pick up gold bags during cutscenes?

How can I generate a redstone signal when players are near?

Is it possible to construct something that will run automatically whenever a player is nearby, say within a chunk's range, without that player having to trigger something like a pressure pad or detector rail ? What I'm trying to do is get some pistons to move in this situation, so for example if someone was walking along something might light up on a distant hill The only way I can think of doing this is to have a cavern underground with a load of pressure plates wired up to pistons on the surface, and an army of snow golems down there to wander around and hit the pressure plates. But they don't seem to spawn until you're pretty near.

What to consider for a lifesteal barbarian build

There are three types of life stealing buffs on weapons. On hit, on kill and percentile. I am looking towards the harder difficulties (Hell and Inferno) and loath having to use a shield. I would rather stack as much life steal as I can as that fits my preferred play-style with the barbarian. Which form or forms of life steal should I focus on and which stats should I look for on items and with gems to make that form more effective? Is attack speed good for all of them or just the on hit/percentile ones?


The World and The Stranger

I have been through Act 1 over a dozen times by now but I can not seem to figure out the timing to get these two conversations from Shen. I assume that The Stranger happens some time after you bring the buy back form the crater (Yes I know whom he is already) but I have no idea what leads up to it specifically. As for The World, no idea. Order in the list seems to imply it is some time after you take care of the Skeleton King but I have noticed the order in the list is not always chronological (Found this out with the books in Act 3 where one of them is among the last you collect). If these should be separate questions let me know but I fear a question for every check box on these achievements.. I just can not figure these talking points out!

SMP servers run continuously. Does that mean that trees (and cacti, and sugar canes, and crops) grow always, even when no one is online? or do they only grow if their chunks are loaded?


Is there any other way to obtain Pumpkin seeds?

On the wiki there is not reference to obtaining Pumpkin Seeds there or on the Pumpkin page. Can you get them without finding them in chests? If not does this mean they are not a renewable resource?


Single Player Commands in Minecraft?

I've seen confusing instructions for Single Player Commands in Minecraft. How do I install it?


Does the kill count for a unit affect it in any way?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Do units get some kind of bonus for being promoted? In SC2, you can see the kill count for any specific unit. Does this count have any affect on the game? I know there's an achievement for killing 50 with a single unit, but does the kill count actually affect the game in any way? Is there any reason to try to micro units with high kill counts to keep them alive longer (in favor of other units of the same type)?


Importance of Zerglings to Zerg armies

So i've been trying to improve my game as zerg as of late, but im meeting several difficulties (some in micro, some in macro, etc etc), but the one i want to ask about now is army composition. I often see replays of zerg players who rely heavily on zerglings, but i can never seem to find a use for them in my armies. When i start massing armies i find myself not building focusing mainly on roaches/hydras/whatever im massing because i just dont know what to do with zerglings past early early game. Is **not** getting Zerglings ok? Will my army's effectiveness suffer from the lack? Is the matter of using Zerglings effectively purely a micro thing? Do i **have** to be super smart about positioning them and have them in a seperate group to see positive results? Are zerglings an effective/worthwhile addition to my army even if i **dont** have great micro?


Starcraft 2 replays and screen capture software

I have a few questions:   1. How can I email a Starcraft 2 replay?   2. What can i use to record my computer screen without holding a video recorder in front of it?   3. What is the best deal for a capture card that has decent quality and where can i get it?   4. Can a capture card be used to record video on your computer screen much like it can for, say, an Xbox 360? Thanks for taking the time to help me.


When I die, how much of the experience I have gained is made into orbs?

I died, but very near my spawn point. When I came back to the point where I'd died (I fell to my death) there was my stuff spread around, as well as loads of experience orbs! I don't know how much I had before I died, so is the amount I just picked up:   * The exact amount I had before I died?   * Some random/fixed portion of that amount?   * Fixed?


Does Cold Damage Slow Enemy Movement Speed Only?

When dealing cold damage to an enemy, what all does it slow down? I know it obviously slows down an enemies movement speed, but does it affect casting time? Or does it slow down their attacks also?


What does it mean when I unlock carbines in BF4?

I was playing as an engineer in Battlefield 4 last night, and was awarded a "Carbine" unlock. What does that mean? Did I unlock the carbine class of weapons, or just a particular carbine gun? For example, looking in **Battlelog** > **Profile** > **Unlocks** > **Weapons** , I see a grid of carbines where one carbine has an orange bar under it, and one carbine has half an orange bar. Is the one with the full orange bar the one I unlocked? I find the documentation and user interface confusing, as I am new to FPS games. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hOCPp.png)


Xbox Gamertag Profile on Friend's Console - Can I download my content?

I'm going to be travelling to a friend's this upcoming weekend, and during the time I will likely be using a friend's Xbox. I know that within the past year Microsoft has made the shift to keep profiles "in the cloud," and that now you can sign into your own profile on other user's consoles (similar to the old process of recovering your gamertag). I want to know, however, if by just signing in on my profile I will be able to:   * Access my purchased XBLA games for (re)download on the "other" console.   * Access my purchased DLC (such as campaigns, characters, etc.) for games we have in common on the other console.   * Access my cloud save games for the same games that we have in common. I've been able to turn up a few different resources that imply that licenses for XBLA games are attached to BOTH the console they were downloaded on, and the Gamertag that downloaded them, so theoretically I should be able to redownload anything on my friend's console as long as I'm signed into my profile. The problems I have with those answers, however, is that they're dated from before the shift to cloud saving (and I'm not sure if the licensing process has changed, and can't find any resources more recent), that they always seem to be in the context of full XBLA games, and that they don't provide good instructions on how to do so. So, in a much less verbose recap:   * Will signing in to my profile allow me to access the above listed content, for either redownload or use?   * If so, how do I do so? Will it just "be available" as long as my profile is signed in? Is it different for games versus DLC versus saves? Thanks!


How can i activate GOTY edition for tribes ascend?

I bought the GOTY edition on steam, and I don't know how to activate it. When I purchased it, on the bottom on the page it said that I would have to go to my game library and activate it. I searched on where I could activate, but no sign at all.


How do I ask a friend for friendship essence?

One of the hints in Angry Birds Epic says "Ask your friends once a day for a Friendship Essence". I see how to ask friends for opening the friend gates. But how exactly do I ask for the essence? I went to friendship totem pole, see my friend list. Now what?


Are some CG/Gameplay removed from Mugen Souls during Localization

i was google searching images and i saw some 2 kinds of screenshots,   * one was of the Heroines, Sunny (she's the only one who could be classed as a Demon Lord) and Chou Chous Personalities covered in soap in provocative poses (i don't remember seeing one of Atlas)   * The other was Atlas in a steamed filled room and you was apparently massaging her, the image linked to a youtube video of the player using certain items when using the hotspring to trigger this mini game Now i never had any need to use the hotsprings and i haven't done any Post Came Content, the images (and video) all showed the game in Japanese and i have both the US and PAL versions of the game but i only played the PAL version. I am wondering if during the localization if anything was removed? i know this has happened before as in Agarest Generations of War 2 when it was localized for PAL, the Young Fiona Bathouse Minigames was removed and when i contacted Ghostlight about the missing Ellis DLC i got a reply saying it was not made available because it apparently added young Ellis who also had Bathouse Minigames (i got the other 3 characters and neither one of women added had minigames so it makes me wonder why only young Ellis would be the only DLC to add them)


Can I play UK games on a French Xbox 360 or vice versa?

I have just bought an French Xbox 360 from a French friend with 30 French games. Can I use this console back in the UK on Xbox Live? Can I use the games on an English console? What will my limitations be?


How do I beat the end battle?

I dusted off the old Commodore 64 a little while ago and found some old save games for Pools of Darkness. All of the games were at basically the same place. The final set of fights in the game. Each of the parties I had and different make ups to them, but I remembered that I couldn't ever manage to get through that last sequence of fights and actually complete the game. (I tried it a few times again, just to see if it was as hard as I remembered... it was.) Has anyone out there ever beaten this game? And if so, what was your party build and was there any special things or items needed to do it? (I realize this is a pretty old game, so even just some fuzzy memories would be helpful.)


Expansion content duplicating itself?

The expansion packs are duplicating content in-game. For example one expansion pack included hairstyle might show itself 16-17 times in the menu. It's doing this for most of the expansion packs, and most of the extra items. What could possibly cause this. Is there any way to fix this (short of a full re- install)? Thanks!


How can I map a button on a controller to launch Steam Big Picture

I'd like to be able to, like with a PS3, pick up my controller and hit a button and have Steam Big Picture load up. To complicate the situation, I already have steam running (to keep games up to date) so it really needs to just launch Big Picture mode, not another instance entirely. I also don't want to use the built in option to launch Steam in Big Picture mode as that will just suck up gpu power all day long for no reason. Does such a software switch exist and if so how can I map it to a controller button. (I could maybe use some logitech direct input software to make the later happen but I'd still need a switch) The only thing that comes to mind as being close to what would work is when I use in-home streaming it will autolaunch Big Picture on the source machine via software. Can that be tapped somehow just locally?


Why are my beans worth nothing now?

I spent a while trying to produce enough beans to keep my town fed while having a surplus which I could trade for other items. At first it was fine but when a ship came in with pumpkin seeds I couldn't trade with them because my beans had a value of 0. The next ship was the same. I am wondering why my beans are now worth nothing, I have about 4,000 in the port and I normally have about 10,000+ in my storage barns.


Can you chain killstreak rewards together in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II?

By this I mean, say you have your 3 killstreaks, and first highest killstreak is Chopper Gunner (imagine your other two are EMP and Tac Nuke). Ok, so you have you 11 kills in a row, and you have chopper gunner available. You begin running around shooting your gun into the air to attract enemy attention. You are shot and killed. Now, you respawn, with your chopper gunner available. You find a nice quiet place to hide to activate your chopper gunner. Now, imagine you are really good at chopper gunner and quickly rack up 13 kills with chopper gunner. You manage to get through the whole killstreak without having your Chopper Gunner shot down AND you do not die while using chopper gunner. Remember, you killed 13 people with chopper gunner. **THE QUESTION** : WILL I HAVE EARNED **_ANOTHER_** CHOPPER GUNNER AS A RESULT OF MY _FIRST_ CHOPPER GUNNER?


How to unlock new animals in Tokyo Jungle

The way to unlock new animals in Tokyo Jungle is not clear to me. For the animals, when putting the cursor over a locked animal, it says you have to achieve a given challenge, but how to find details about this challenge and what has to be done to unlock the given animal? I unlocked cats but I don't know how.


Maurice Jondrelle is an idiot who's going to get us both killed

I already have Maurice Jondrelle following me. I'm avoiding spoilers, so I didn't know he was batshit crazy and attacks every enemy on-sight. Since I'm stuck with him, and since I'm a _sneak_ archer who can't just kill everything before he blows our stealth when I'm trying to hide from suspicious enemies, how can I keep him (and me) alive on the road?

What is the maximum detection range on the T-UGS in Battlefield 3?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  What is the range of the T-UGS? Depending on my current sniping location, I usually want to place my T-UGS for max detecting efficiency.

How can I get started in WvW?

Every time I've entered WvW I've been hopelessly lost and confused. I read all the tutorials and listened to all the NPCs and read the wiki articles but I've no idea where I'm actually supposed to _start_. What are some activities I can do in WvW as a noob and a solo player?

In Civ V, playing as Germany, and with earth, how do I start in Europe where Germany should be?

Every time I start Civ V with Germany and with earth as the terrain, it doesn't start me in central Europe where modern day Germany is. Can I correct this somehow? Civ 4 would automatically start the chosen civilization where it is (or would be) located on earth.


Advantages to plopping emergency services on an isolated road?

The initial cost (especially in the early game) and more importantly the hourly cost of emergency services seems to highly suggest that less is more, especially when starting to build the second-tier buildings (hospital, precinct, etc.). In comparison to Sim City 4, it was quite easy to plop services frequently enough to where their coverage zone covered the entire map, but this is not so (at least for me) in this rendition. The cost of the hospital seems to suggest that one should be enough for the entire city (village), yet I still have health issues. Of course, traffic has a big influence on this, but even when my traffic isn't terrible, health issues remain (even in R & C only cities). I've been experimenting with building an isolated road that attempts to be unattractive for all civilian traffic, and then plopping all of my services on that road. This, at the very least, allows the vehicles to initially get on the road easier vs. coming out into a traffic jam when the services are placed in a central location. However, the downside is that the services are a little further away than they otherwise would be. Has anyone experimented with optimal emergency services placement? Certainly the goal is to maximize coverage with as few standalone buildings as possible.


How can I get new weapons on Lost Planet 2?

I am getting tired of using the old weapon set, and I'm hoping that I can earn new weapons during the career or training modes.


In COD4 Reign of the Undead, how do I view the points list for each new rank?

There are three main ROTU that I play, and usually on FNRP servers. These are: > ROTU 1.15 - 140 ranks   >  ROTU 1.7 - 140 ranks   >  ROTU 2.1 - 55 ranks to each Prestige, 45 Prestiges Where can I find a list that shows how many points to each rank?

What does the Grimoire of Sacrifice talent actually do?

I just respecced my warlock to Affliction and picked up Grimoire of Sacrifice as one of my talents. The description says: > You sacrifice your demon to gain one of its abilities, increase the power of > many of your single target spells by 50% and regenerate 2% of maximum health > every 5 sec. and I can't seem to figure out the demon ability part. I assume it varies per demon, but which ability do you inherit from which demon? Should I just drag one of the demons' abilities to my action bars? How do I make this thing go?


What happens if I reload after using the Golden Key?

I'm wondering if it's possible to reload after opening the chest, (such as by quitting the game from the PS3 menu) and still keep your Golden key. I know you won't be able to keep the weapons you found inside, but will you be able to keep the key, or is it tied to your account and lost permanently the moment you use it? I ask because I don't want to open the chest and find a shotgun and a pistol, and be stuck with really nice weapons I detest, but I'm afraid that if I test it I could lose the key AND the weapons by exiting the game without saving. Just wondering if anyone had tried it.

Is there a limit while completing find that bitizen objective?

Some times I take more than 1 minute to find a bitizen objective. So I tried just pressing on every floor from top to bottom to see if I could find s/he easier. However I could have sworn I just ran out of guesses to where s/he was as I don't recall a message popping up or receiving the bux reward. So is there some sort of guess limit while searching for a bitizen objective?


How does "Bonus Elemental Damage" work?

Maliwan weapons often have "Bonus Elemental Damage" listed in their attributes. I'm not entirely sure what to make of this; does it just refer to the _listed_ elemental effect damage, which is presumably higher than it would otherwise be, or does elemental damage from these guns deal even further damage beyond the listed stat due to this effect? Is there an exact amount or percent of additional damage this attribute reflects?


When I swing the Wii remote, the game pauses

I have a Wii game called 'Sonic and the Black Knight' but whenever I swing the Wii remote, the game pauses! The game has quite a lot of combat skills, It's all about sword fights, so I really need this remote to work! I've tried to change the batteries of the remote and sync it, but that didn't help either. It only happens with this game, it used to be fine, but only just started this problem. is it the game or the remote? Just to let you know, my Wii remote is fine, but my nunchuk isn't, does that affect anything?

How do I know where to look for bounty hunting/bail bond missions?

So, playing as Trevor, there is this woman, Maude. She offers bail bond missions. However, I am stuck right from the beginning. How do I figure out where to look for the people I'm supposed to go get? I must have not paid attention when I talked to her, and there's no indicator on my map. I also can't seem to go back and read our dialog, to check if she mentioned an area to look in.


I noticed some strange behaviour while playing Payday 2 in relation to the bonus card selection screen at the end of each payday: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xWEFH.jpg) In one instance, I got an achievement for reaching a certain threshold of spendable cash before I selected a card, then - once I selected my card, it turned out to be a cash card that had added enough cash to push me over the threshold. In another, one of my team mates got an achievement for reaching a certain level threshold before he selected his card and then the card turned out to be an experience card. With this in mind, does it even matter what card you select? Are the cards at the end of payday pre-determined?


Is there a way to shut down a Nether portal with redstone?

Since it is no longer possible for flowing water to deactivate a Nether portal, you can't use pistons to push blocks into the nether portal and finally you can't move the obsidian powering the portal with pistons; is it possible to deactivate the portal some other way with redstone? I'm not too interested in detonating TNT near the portal either, ideally the method needs to be reusable and not destroy the surrounding mechanisms. Bonus points for activating a Nether portal with redstone as well.


Should I ever move my first settler?

I was reading an article about the guys at Firaxis arguing about whether moving your first Settler is EVER a good idea, and it got me thinking. I have always been a "don't move the settler" kind of guy. But according to the article and some basic simulation by one of the devs, it can be better to spend a turn moving to a better spot. But it might not always be worth it. So, my question is, what kind of things should I be looking for in order to make the decision to settle vs spend 1 turn moving to a better location? If I can see the coastline, should I move over to it? Should I always spend a turn moving if I have less then X luxuries? Or If I have less than Y food bonus resources?

What's the blue pentagon for in Pokemon XY?

On the Pokemon status screen, underneath the Pokemon and to the left of the custom markings, is a small blue pentagon: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/FP8o3.jpg) This doesn't seem to be present on Pokemon obtained through the Pokemon Transporter from Gen V: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/owvaa.jpg) I've looked into it myself, and popular opinion seems to be that it's either some kind of "Legitimate Pokemon" mark or simply to indicate that the Pokemon originates from Gen IV. The latter seems far more likely to me, but do we know for sure what this blue hexagon means?

Is there an option to have the auction house message you when you are in game whenever an item sells? Basically enabling the message it sends when you are on the menus or party screen and something sells.


Is there a way to cancel an auction in the auction house, or change the buyout price?

I want to put more items for sale in the auction house, but I have already reached the limit of 10. Is there a way to end current auctions early, or change the buyout price to sell the items currently being sold quicker?


How do I take down a ufo without damaging it?

I've been looking for a way to take down a UFO without doing any (or little damage) to it as possible. I haven't found any research that would help me either. My question is, is there some weapon that I can research that will act like an EMP against UFOs? It's quite difficult to get Elerium-115 in the game and I was hoping that I could just EMP or do something that can take it down without destroying all of the Elerium-115.

What does paying get you in Star Trek Online?

I've heard _Star Trek Online_ described somewhat critically as a pay-to-win game, but what mechanics do they use and how drastic are they? Is it simply like _League of Legends_ or _Team Fortress 2_ where paying can get you things faster but ultimately have no effect? Or is it at the other extreme where the gameplay is severely limited (where you can go, unable to get items of equivalent power, etc)? Can I play _STO_ without paying and enjoy it, or am I always going to be a second-class player, in the shadow of those who dump cash into it?

Does setting a connection speed in Steam limit bandwidth usage?

I always assumed that the speed setting is only informational and is used for download time estimates. I have never seen anything that would suggest otherwise - until I read this answer. I still don't believe that it is used as a cap; however I also think the remaining time estimate is computed from the current speed. How it really is?

Is there anything special about Luigi appearing during the start of some games?

If you are paying attention at all when playing through the game, you'll notice that Luigi will appear every once in a while in some games at the start and just walks off screen. It doesn't seem like anything else of importance, just quick nudges to remind us that **Super Luigi Bros.** is included in the game. Is there anything significant about his appearance? Does it indicate that there will be some kind of bonus? Maybe a triggerable easter egg? Or is it just simply nothing of importance and can be ignored?


Do I have to make light sources in Dwarf Fortress?

I just started playing Dwarf Fortress, and I'm curious as to why you can create an underground lair but never have to make lights or torches. Also, is there a day/night cycle in DF? I know the screen never dims or anything but I'm still not sure how to check what time it is in the game. Thanks for any help!


Saints Row the Third Cash vs Respect

I have recently completed Saints Row the Third for the first time. In all of the choices that were handed to me in-game I chose a cash related option instead of Respect. What will the difference be in the later stages of the game if I have chosen Respect based answers instead?


Is Mask of Madness a viable item for Juggernaut?

I have seen many people advocating for Mask of Madness on Juggernaut saying that it helps the ultimate. Since the ultimate attacks are not considered the same than normal attacks (the damage is not the same than your right click), I am not too sure I understand why this would be true.


Best way to practice?

Hey so I'm have just recently reached level 30 in league, and to my ignorance I thought this meant that I'd be good enough to attempt ranked. Boy was I wrong, I went from being placed in bronze II to dropping to bronze V. (Although a lot of this may be due to my aggravation when playing my ranked matches after midnight.) Needless to say I'm a little angry and confused. There are a lot of things that I didn't take into consideration when I started playing ranked.   1. I thought that I knew that character I owned well enough to carry the team, and if I got stuck without one of my mains, I could always be carried.   2. I got myself in the mindset that there is no one way to build a champion and you should never start the game by building the same item every time.   3. Getting CS didn't matter, it's not like missing minion gold determined how well you do in lane.   4. You don't need a focused set of runes to be able to play well. All of these assumptions are WRONG. So wrong and I suffered for it. But no matter what I do I can't seem to get enough practice in to be able to play all of my characters well enough to carry a game. I look up guides to building champions, what masteries to pick the whole shebang. But none of that matters if I can't practice it.   * Are their any suggestions that someone can offer me on how to practice for ranked? Where should I practice last hitting my CS? Where should I practice ganking? Etc.   * Is there a pattern to how to clear the jungle?   * What is the best way to determine what to character to pick while playing ranked?   * Is there an easy to make correlation between what type of class can generally beat another? (IE would a tank win in a fight against most mages?)   * Is there any way to practice patience for in game? (Sometimes I find myself too far out with no vision and the like, are there any suggestions on how to get the team to buy and place wards more often? Where to stand if you can't see into a bush? Etc.)


Any reason to scan gas giants?

StarControl II (these days called Ur-Quan Masters) has quite a lot of grinding in terms of scanning planets for minerals, life forms and energy beacons. Gas giants seem to always produce empty scans. Is there a reason to ever visit\scan gas giants in StarControl II?

Whenever I start up my Gmod13 server without any addons/gamemodes and after running the update tool, I always get this error:                   CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/game_sounds_portal.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/game_sounds_player _portal.txt CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/game_sounds_weapon s_episodic.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/game_sounds_weapon s_portal.txt CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/level_sounds_music _portal.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/level_sounds_escap e.txt          CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_apertur e_ai.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_energy_ ball.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_turret_ portal.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_rocket_ turret.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_glados_ cores.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_strider _episodic.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_turret_ episodic.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_soldier _episodic.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_roller_ episodic.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_combine _ball_episodic.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_citizen _episodic.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_citizen _ep1.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_zombine .txt          CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_dog_epi sodic.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_antlion guard_episodic.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/npc_sounds_advisor .txt          CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/level_sounds_e3_c1 7.txt          CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/level_sounds_e3_to wn.txt          CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/level_sounds_e3_bu gbait.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/level_sounds_music _episodic.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/level_voices_episo de_01.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/level_sounds_after math_episodic.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/level_sounds_outla nd_episodic.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/level_sounds_c17_0 2a.txt          CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/game_sounds_mvm.tx t          CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/game_sounds_vo.txt           CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/game_sounds_vo_mvm .txt          CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/game_sounds_vo_mvm _handmade.txt         CSoundEmitterSystem::AddSoundsFromFile:  No such file scripts/game_sounds_vo_mvm _mighty.txt      I can still connect, although I'd rather solve this now, as errors are there for a reason. Google has turned up no results that hold a viable solution, as this happens vanilla. Any ideas?


Is it better to save for expensive items or buy/sell cheaper items?

Needlessly Large Rod is the second most expensive item in the basic tier (1600 gold), the most expensive being B.F. Sword at 1650 gold. When I need to purchase those items for recipes, I feel really inefficient waiting to farm up 1600/1650 gold to get them. I was thinking about purchasing Doran items. However, they sell for 50% of their purchase price, so it might create a bigger problem. So, my idea is to buy 400g~800g items, and then sell them for the 1600 gold to purchase the B.F. Sword and/or Needlessly Large Rod. The time spent farming that gold can be spent with the better stats of the intermediate items. Which intermediate items would you recommend for this? Or is there a better reason to wait til I farm the 1600/1650 gold to buy them directly?


Playstation 3 HDD Change - "Cannot start.The correct hard disk was not found."

Error message when it boots is in the topic : "Cannot start.The correct hard disk was not found." I have a 40GB old PS3 model, and i was swapping the system drive for a 60GB Corsair SSD Force Series.   * Before HDD swap i did backup to another USB HDD i had lying around.   * After HDD swap      * Insert Corsair from wrapping: This error.     * Make partition on Corsair format as FAT32. This error.     * Make sure partition on Corsair is MBR not GUID. This error.     * Put FW 3.50 on USB stick in PS3\UPDATE. This error.     * Hold power button until two quick beeps to enter diag menu. This error. What i haven't tried: Putting in another hdd that's not the original (that's coming now,i have a 120 and 320 lying about to test with). Anyone had similar issues or tips?


What is the most effective way to use warp gates?

I understand the advantages warp gates have over gateways, but I'm having a horrible time trying to use them effectively. With gateways it is very easy using just hotkeys to queue up more troops while you're microing a fight. However, with warp gates, not only can you not queue production, but you have to jump the map to wherever your pylon is in order to warp in more troops. At best this is distracting, and at worst it can lose you a battle if your attention is diverted at a critical moment. Or, like me, you forget to be building troops and your minerals pile up. I know one good solution is to bring a warp prism with your army and warp troops directly onto the battlefield. I'm more worried about that early- midgame period--probably the first battle of the game--before you have a robotics facility. (Plus, I don't want to be forced to go robotech every game.) So what do other Protoss players do? How do you take advantage of the warp gates despite the extra attention they require?


Why did none of my German players get called up for the World Cup?

I'm playing Bayern München, so I have 90% of the best German players, and 90% of their national team. However, the 2014 World Cup just came and went, and none of my Germans got called up, although my players from other countries did. All my players had a great season and I won the league. I checked international instructions (under "int friendly availability") and none of my German players are showing up there. What gives? Are they all retired or something?


What Unlocks What?

Playing through The Basement Collection, I see that completing specific games will unlock hidden content. However I'm unclear as to what type of star unlocks what (translucent, white, black), and if there are additional hidden unlocks available. Are the unlocks based solely on completion of the advertised games (Aether, Coil, Meat Boy, Time Fcuk, Triachnid, and Grey Matter), or are there additional unlocks to be found (for instance getting a white star vs a black star on a game).


How Can I Maximize My Score?

Coming from Hitman: Blood Money, the new score system has thrown me a bit off guard. I understand a stealthy "professional" approach to missions will result in a better score in general, but what are some good strategies/approaches to generally maximize my score? If possible, non-specific tips would be appreciated since I'm not far into the game and wouldn't want a semi- walkthrough answer to spoil things.


How do I become a Hero in die2nite?

For all the help text and upsell messages in die2nite, I cannot figure out how users are selected for Hero status. At first I thought the game had a "freemium" model where you could pay to be a hero but none of the "become a hero" links take me anywhere. Are successful users from past towns granted hero status? Or is there a purchase flow that just isn't available yet?


When do I Give Up and Go Home?

So I've been playing Die2Nite, and my second town seems like I can actually learn something from it. I've just begun autosearching. So, is there a certain point at which a zone becomes depleted? I mean, should I come back after a certain number of hours to move to a new zone? Will I even be notified if the zone I'm searching becomes depleted?


What's the point of Shadow Kill?

If killing with Shadow Kill still raises the chaos level then what's the point of Shadow Kill? Does it produce less chaos then leaving a body lying around?
