How do I catch a "shiny" Pokemon

I was curious as to know in what Pokemon installments can I catch a shiny Pokemon and how. Can anyone tell me?


How do I get the other two starter pokemon?

In Pokemon Red Version, you are allowed to choose one out of the 3 starter Pokemon. Well, I chose Charmander but now I am confused as to how I can catch the other 2 starter Pokemon. Does anyone know how?


Does Flash make a champion untargetable for a moment?

There are some effects in the game which remove a champion's sprite from the map, rendering them untargetable for a moment, such as Elise's `Rappel`. Does the Summoner Spell `Flash` do this as well, even just for a split second? Or is the champion always on the field and targettable _at all times_? In other words, does `Flash` instantly place the champion at the target location such that there is no moment in time where the champion isn't on the map, or is there a moment when he doesn't exist on the map? I ask because I was playing a game where I was getting double ulted by both Nunu and Morgana. My `Flash` was up, but it wasn't enough to escape the range of their ultimates completely. I am wondering whether, if I timed my `Flash` just right, if I could make myself untargettable for a split second and avoid the effects of one or both of the ultimates when they triggered (i.e., Morgana's stun activated or Nunu's ultimate blew up for tons of damage).


Age of Empires Online Advisor Hall quest

I'm level 7 and I have two advisors just sitting in my inventory. They say they require an Advisor Hall. When do I receive said hall or how do I receive it? I am using the civilization Celtics.


Is the determination of which tetris block comes next random?

This is a question I've had since I first played this game, maybe twenty years ago. I would say that it is random, given the nature of the game. However in my experience; the O-blocks never come alone (after you get one, the chance of getting another seems more likely). I also feel that you get the I tetromino just after you made a mistake. I've been googling this for quite some time and haven't found a conclusive answer. Can somebody please help me? I've only played the game on the original Gameboy.


What is on the preinstalled SD card?

I bought a plain (non-special-edition) Nintendo 3DS XL, turned it on, and followed the initial setup instructions. Once it was all set up, I removed the preinstalled SD card and inserted a fresh 32GB card I purchased for this purpose. It wasn't until nearly 24 hours worth of play time later that I discovered (by putting it in my computer) that the original SD card had data on it, in the `Nintendo 3DS` folder. More than 20MB worth. Now, I didn't download any games prior to swapping cards, I finished the initial setup (connect to Wifi, etc.) and immediately powered it off and replaced the card. So what am I missing? What data comes on the preinstalled SD card?


How does the Realm of Diggle Gods DLC affect the original game?

How does the DLC affect existing save games? Do I have start over in order to access DLC material? What I understood from the description is that there are new levels and items, but what I didn't quite get was that are those DLC levels some where deep down in the end of the game or something? Or is it just that next level that I access _can_ be from the DLC?


How can I use vending machines effectively?

When they're first introduced, vending machines are pretty expensive compared to my cash on hand. Since these things can only sell items for their base cost, I'm not entirely sure how to use them to turn any significant profit. What advantages do I get out of having a vending machine? How do I use them to make more money?


How can I quickly earn money / experience in Pocket Planes?

(question inspired by a similar question about Pocket Frogs ) What are some strategies that can be used to quickly earn money or gain experience in Pocket Planes (especially in the early game, when bootstrapping the economy)? You have the choice to invest in new airports, new airplanes, or upgrading existing ones, which should I prioritize? Should I go and max out airports/airplanes/upgrades, or do some of each?


Is Swapnote initially installed internally?

The Nintendo 3DS XL comes with Swapnote preinstalled. Is it preinstalled on the internal memory? Or is it on the included SD card? I know it can be deleted via Data Management, so it's not built-in to the system and has to be stored somewhere. I can't test because I deleted (and later redownloaded it) already, and it definitely downloads to the SD card when done manually.


Force ships to use warp

Is there any way to force a ship to use its warp drive to get to a location, instead of using the normal routes? There's an enemy system I'd like to scan without losing my ship, but I can't get it close enough without actually trying to go to the system. If I route my ship to a nearby system, the path always goes through the enemy system even though that means certain death.


What is the quickest excavation method without TNT?

I have a tendency to take on _huge_ digging projects. Not mining projects; _digging_ projects. For surface digs, these are usually there to add flair to the map; such as a 20m x 20m sinkhole completely finished with stone, and with access minecart tracks to subterranean mines and such; and sometimes they are loooong minecart tunnels (a recent project saw me digging a 3m x 3m x 2800[sic]m tunnel). The problem with a lot of these projects is that as this is on an SMP server, my access to TNT is somewhat stunted; digging takes _forever_. For tunnels there's not a lot to be done for this; but for pits I'm intensely curious as to wether or not I'm using an efficient method of digging: Usually I'll use a mix of horizontal and vertical digging; digging first down to however deep I need the pit, expanding to cover the entire projected area, and then using the original shaft to create a staircase to go back up to the surface, and digging straight down in 4x4 squares until done. I've also tried taking off one level of dirt/stone at a time, but the problem with both these methods are that they are intensely monotonous. Are there any other, less soul-crushingly repetitive methods that can be employed? (Might be tangentially related to Movement and digging/mining speed.)


Can creatures move diagonally through walls?

I've told my dwarves to build a protective rock 'sheath' around my column of up/down stairs (thrust to the floor of a cavern) in the following pattern:               OOOO     RXXO     RXXO     OROO      O = Wall build order R = Rock X = Stairs But they've decided (in their wisdom) to leave the parts above cavern-ground- level as such:               OWWO     RXXW     RXXW     ORWO      W = Wall Since the walls are preventing my dwarves from completing the building, will they also stop bats and other horrors from getting in and scaring my dwarves away from my main (and only) staircase? I know, I know, I should have put preventative measures in place before breaching the cavern, but it's my first time!


I've got my electronic Fame MIDI drum connected to my PC. It supports MIDI. Now I want to use this in Guitar Hero World Tour. GHWT does not seem to recognise my drum controller. I downloaded the drum tuning kit, and this recognises the drums and is able to send a test signal, but no luck with the actual tuning because none of the pads light up when drumming. How do I use my MIDI drums in Guitar Hero World Tour for PC?


Where did the world go?

I was playing on my main world when my laptop ran out of power. I found a charger and woke it up, but Minecraft had crashed. Now, it doesn't appear in the world selection screen! I have verified that it still exists in the Minecraft folder, and the directory contents look to be in order. Does Minecraft save an internal flag somewhere when it crashes hard? If so, how do I reset it?


How can I automatically restart TF2 servers that are prone to crashing?

I've set up two Team Fortress 2 servers on my dedicated server, both have custom maps. The second TF2 server crashes a lot, so FireDaemon cannot restart it. As a solution I set it to auto restart approximately every 30 minutes but the program is the demo version, so it doesn't work because the clock was wrong and then it stopped working (Security feature). Is there any other anti crash program that would be suitable for use with Team Fortress 2 servers? Currently when the server crashes, it remains down until I manually restart it.

Where is the hidden switch for the hidden level in Dedede Resort?

In Dedede's resort one of the stages in the second tier is locked with a question mark on it, and has the following message: > You must press a button found in a specific stage. In which stage is this button found, and where in the stage is it located? I would prefer to have the location of the button inside the stage in spoiler text, so I can attempt to find it within the stage on my own.


Minecraft pre 1.5.2 LWJGL Crash

On my Mac (10.6.8, Java V1.6.65) is crashing when trying to launch any pack from technic that uses Minecraft 1.5.2 or before. Tekkitmain works fine because it uses a later version of minecraft, but all the packs that use pre 1.5.2 crash before starting due to :               [STDERR] [LWJGL] MemoryUtil Accessor:AccessorUnsafe          Invalid memory access of location 0x0 eip 0x0      Never seen this error before, and i've tried all the usual fixes (Reinstall it, delete the packs etc etc). "Crash" log : http://pastebin.com/tMLT0Va1 Edit : Testing the Vanilla in the Technic pack tells me that 1.7.2, 1.6.4 and 1.6.2 work, 1.5.2, 1.5.1, 1.4.7 do not and give the error in the "Crash" log. (1.7.4 gives a different crash but i'm not interested in that)

Strategies to avoid being underleveled as a F2P in SW:TOR?

First, definitions, just to be clear: **Underleveled** : The state of being substantially lower level than the lowest level quest you have. This situation makes it difficult to complete your quests because you struggle to defeat regular groups of enemies, and are very likely to lose (often, repeatedly) to a strong or boss enemy at the end of the quest. **Overleveled** : The state of being substantially higher level than the highest level quest you have. Most players consider this a good thing: quests are easier to complete because you are more likely to resist/parry/deflect attacks, and your attacks are more likely to affect the enemy. You also have better gear and abilities than a lower level person. The only possible downside is reduced challenge when completing solo quests, but Heroics, Raids and PvP are still just as challenging as ever. I personally am a subscriber, and benefit from Rest XP, plus all the other perks of being a subscriber, so I am overleveled. But I notice that almost all of my friends who are Free to Play (F2P) become so underleveled that they can't even beat a solo side quest. Sure, they might be able to clear out the groups of standard / weak mobs, but they inevitably die to some boss/champion/whatever at the end of the quest. It happens over and over again, and they ask for help when they can't beat it. And it's not just a few people: almost _every_ F2P player I know of experiences this burn. What advice should I give them so that they can safely gain XP and become at least "right-leveled" (the same level as the class quests and side quests they're attempting)? Note that in almost all cases, these underleveled individuals **are** completing all the side quests and heroics as they go. But they simply don't have the resources to buy XP boosts or subscribe, so they can't get Rest XP, etc. I am already sort of aware of the following possibilities, but I wanted to know if there are other things they should be doing:   * PvP as many times as they can per week until the system won't let them do it any more   * Run dailies (flashpoints) as many times as they can until the system won't let them   * Get into groups with other underleveled people and complete quests together   * Repeat heroics several times (can F2Pers do this? I honestly don't know.)

Neverwinter just went open beta and I'm trying to figure out what specific actions I should do with my Guardian Fighter to refill my action point bar the quickest.

Can the clock be faked in Tiny Tower?

Many "Persistent World" games like Farmville prevent cheating by requiring an internet connection so you're always playing by their clock; Tiny Tower however does not require an internet connection. Does this mean it's possible to play with my device's clock and manipulate/hack the game time? Does the game try to "punish" you at all for doing this? Animal Crossing for instance made the game very hard to play (billions of weeds grew) if you messed with the device clock.

Pipe of Insight mechanics

Pipe of Insights is an item that grant to the owner a passive magic resistance of 30% and if activated it creates a shield that blocks 400 spell damage. ![Pipe of Insight](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Gcob0.png) When the hero that carry the Pipe of Insights activates it, and is then targeted by an enemy skill, like for example Lion's Finger of Death, is the 30% magic resistance calculated first, or instead is the shield 400 damage block that intervene first?

Do other (none-primary) attributes affect my character?

In Star Wars: The Old Republic, there exist datacrons which provide a permanent stat boost to your character. Different datacrons enhance different attributes. My main is a Sith Inquisitor. I can see an obvious benefit in picking up `Endurance` and `Willpower` datacrons (as these are the primary stats for my class). I assume (please correct me if I'm wrong) that there is some benefit to picking `Strength` for the rare occasion when I use my lightsaber. But is there any benefit to collecting the `Cunning` or `Aim` datacrons other than the small amount of experience and codex entry?


Is there smart casting in Guild Wars 2?

There are two main games I play. League of Legends and Guild Wars 2. I really like the smart cast functionality that League of Legends have. It increases the efficiency of my control over how I cast my spells and generally improves my game-play and enjoyment of the game. Is there a similar functionality in Guild Wars 2? There are many different spells that require me to click once to show the target selection of the spell and then once again to aim my spell. I would like to just click once on my spell and have it cast where my mouse is hovering over.


How can I most effectively destroy enemy turrets?

In _Nuclear Dawn_ , the enemy commander can place turrets (rocket or machine- gun) or other various structures to benefit their team. The problem I've run into is: **I can't destroy them.** I've tried grenades, every last bit of ammo as an EXO, even when working _with_ a teammate to take one down. But the health of the structure seems to freeze at quarter-health. **How can I destroy these turrets?**


Can I detect a ghost hidden soldier in multiplayer

I have noticed when playing MP that sometimes I cant move to a specific position. All there is is the yellow circle and cover does not trigger (as it does when you select a certain point to move your soldier). My question are:   1. If an enemy in ghost is standing in a certain position, how does that reflect when I want to move to that same spot?   2. And do scanners show up ghosted soldier? Regards.

Freezing problems after adding Dragonborn on XBox360

I got the Dawnguard and Dragonborn add-ons for my Xbox a few weeks ago. While my Dawnguard worked fine, my Dragonborn only added a few new bits to my game; I couldn't find the cultist or the ship in Windhelm at all. I re-downloaded Dragonborn and now I can do the Dragonborn quests, but the game keeps freezing on me. And there is a delay in the speech and sound of the game, or the sound doesn't come on at all. I have tried deleting my saved games and starting again and I still have the same problem. I have checked to make sure my XBox is not overheating. All my other games are fine; it's only Skyrim that has this problem and only since re-downloading Dragonborn. I have also checked to see if the file was corrupt and it doesn't appear to be. I found other similar problems, but they are all with the game installed on the hard drive, and I only have the add-ons on my hard drive. How can I fix these problems with the Dragonborn add-on?


How can I prevent the untimely demise of John's wife?

So far the only "happy" end I found was the one where John and Molly are cured and sit in the park. Unfortunately, that involves > having to go to work on every occasion, which results in John's wife comitting suicide. The only path that did not let John find his wife dead > cheating on her so she leaves for her mother with Molly is not very satisfying. Is there happier ending for all of them?


How do you use Great Person in late game?

In late game, I feel that GPs are quite useless: **Great Scientist:** All the tech has been (almost) researched, and there's no need of science now (unless you need a Point Victory). I usually sell all science buildings when entered Future Era. **Great Engineer:** All Wonders have been done already. The most precious wonders in late-game are just the UN and Sydney Opera House. But they requires a long tech line. The Pentagon is almost totally useless, who need upgrading units, since most units has been reach its top? **Great Merchant:** Yes, still quite useful, although in most games, my economy is great at these times, about +500G/turn. I don't know if, Golden Age or Trade Mission is better. **Great General:** I rarely go war, and usually need only 1-2 GGs. I only build Citadel if someone (near me) is Hostile toward me, and only build 4 tiles away from the city. **Great Artist:** If there are some resources near my border, great! But... I rarely meet this case. And, 10 turns delay is too much! So, I usually use the GPs to cast Golden Age. But the effect is really short. And, the GP from City States, it takes time for them to go to my border to cast Golden Age, and I have to pay Unit Maintenance for them!

Can I play Zelda Ocarina of time for the 3DS on public transport?

I have a 3ds and I'm quite interested in getting Zelda for it. However most of my gaming time at the moment is on my commute to and from work. I have read that the targeting in Zelda uses the gyroscopes and can imagine that this will involve swinging the 3ds wildly around. This could either make me look stupid or cause me to end up hitting a fellow commuter with my prized 3ds. How much wild flailing does the targeting entail? Is there a non gyroscopic targeting method which can be used instead? Is it possible at all to play this game on public transport?

How to repair a malfunctioning button on a PS3 Dualshock controller

How reliable is reballing a 60GB PS3?

My 60GB launch PS3 has finally given me a yellow light of death. Luckily I married into a second PS3 over a year ago (phew!), but my wife's Slim has neither most of my saved games nor can it play our PS2 games. The Internet seems conflicted on whether or not reballing is a good long-term solution. People offering it say it can work great for years. Other people say it only works for less than a year, or that 60GB models specifically are a moneypit for repairs once they start having problems. I've found some places that offer reballing services, but these are relatively expensive (€80+ and with only a couple months guarantee) compared to just buying a new PS2. On the other hand, 150 hours of Skyrim and I don't even remember how much Disgaea 3 are on that hard drive. Are there any statistics available on how long I can expect it to last? Or information about the reliability of the reballing process from someone who knows about electronics but doesn't have a financial stake in telling me it'll work great? Does success depend greatly on the skill of the repairer or will any professional get about the same results?

I'm asking this here because I've googled it and I can see that others have this problem as well but no answer is provided so far.


Terraria online?

Does the game Terraria have a dedicated online server (like MMO games) that will save my progress? Or will I have to connect to other people like FPS games? Or can I do both?


TF2 and shared wireless connections -- impossible for me and my brother to connect to the same Server?

It's the summer months, and both my brother and I are home from college for the time being. This means we're currently sharing a wireless network. We tried to play a game of Team Fortress 2 together this evening, and failed miserably; Without exception, the instant I tried to connect to the same server as him (or he, me) the other party would instantly disconnect. Given that we have been able to play together on the _same_ wireless network in the past (back around the WAR! Update), I was curious as to whether something changed in TF2 that might prevent two users on the same wireless network from connecting to the same server simultaneously? Is this a server option or security measure of some sort? We both have separate steam accounts, and we haven't tried LAN.

What techniques can be used for faster time trial runs in Mario Kart 8?

While watching world records, I have noticed that many runs for Mario Kart 8 are simply faster than me, even if I am using the exact same kart. This is obvious right off the start as I start much slower even though I am using the rocket start. Are there secrets that allow these players to have a much higher acceleration and speed at the beginning and throughout the track?


Plot doesn't continue after killing Darko

After finishing That Special Someone by killing Darko, I didn't receive a call by Pegorino, as the wiki says I should. But this means that I can't continue to the following story missions. I did a few optional missions after that, so I don't think waiting will help. Am I missing something or is this a bug? Is there some way of fixing this apart from loading an old save?

Swapping boot and ROM chips on N64 cartridges

Is this as simple as it seems? Find a matching game that uses same boot chip and swap it over to a seemingly dead board? Or do the opposite and move the game ROM chip over to a board with a working boot chip? Is there a way to test the pins of the current installed chip to verify if it is bad or not? I believe that the boot chip I have is CIC-NUS-6102. It's for killer instinct gold. I've gotten three bad ones in a row now and i'm going to fix at least one of them. Can't have a flaky game in the collection :) I figured someone here may have done this before.


Change the spawn point for LAN players in a single player map

Using Minecraft 1.3, a single player map can be opened up for LAN play. **How do you change where other players will spawn?** I know how to change my _own_ spawn point (by using a bed), but how can I change where other players on the LAN will spawn when they join in? The original place I spawned in this world is a very long walk from where I am now, and my wife wants to join in without having to walk the whole way there.


Mass Effect 1 wont start

Just bought Mass Effect 1 from Origin on my new rig. Every time I try to start it, just stops working. I can't even get to the title screen. Running the game with Admin privileges doesn't help.

My tekkit keeps crashing

Okay I would really appreciate if anyone can take their time to answer this. I love playing tekkit and I have gotten pretty good at it. My tekkit was lagging pretty bad so I did what I usually do and close it back to the technic launcher and re-open tekkit(this usually stops the lag). I just re-opened tekkit because it was lagging and now when I try to open that world it kicks me back to the technic launcher. It DOESN'T say anything like "out of memory" or any crash code it just puts me back into the technic launcher. I've tried opening this world probably 8 to 10 times and it keeps doing the same thing. If anyone knows why it keeps crashing please please reply. http://pastebin.com/Dz7h7pMi

Can you change the difficulty mid-game?

There are a couple of skill points throughout the game which are for completing a certain challenge on Exterminator difficulty. From what I've read, you have to beat the game first in order to unlock that difficulty level. I've done so and am now in Challenge Mode. Is there any way to change the difficulty in-game in order to achieve this skill point, or are you required to completely start over and play through the game to those challenges _again_?


Does Collecting Multiple Power Up Blocks Increase The Chance Of Getting A Good Powerup?

I have had Mario Kart for a long time now and have enjoyed it a lot (except when those freaking red turtle shells come at me). My question is about a habit that I have had when playing of trying to pick up multiple power up blocks if I have the chance thinking it will increase my chance of getting a good item. I now want to find out if this actually does help my chances at all of getting a good item. Thanks!

What team comp beats a heal poke team?

The heal poke meta was a very strong team comp because it allowed teams to push towers very effectively as well as slowly knocking down the enemies HP. Usually it consisted of 2 healers like nidalee / soraka or taric and with a strong ad and ap carry. I always found that comp to be very strong and effective. So my question is what is an effective team comp to combat this?


What is a good power levelling strategy for Diablo 2?

The Battle.net ladder reset a few days ago, and already some players are up to level 90+. Myself, I've managed to play primarily solo and get to Act 3 in Normal and a comfortable level 20. I presume these other players are going in groups and helping each other out rather than soloing, but I don't think this explains all of the difference in play. I am also willing to make some serious concessions for the fact that I have many other demands on my time and have only played about 2.5 hours per night. I tend to find all the waypoints, clear dungeons of creatures and then move on but it seems that the preferred style is to run through as much of the level as possible and just fight the end bosses. I presume that since higher level areas give more experience this accelerates levelling. Is this method commonly called rushing, and if so what do you do to maintain good equipment and levels so that you can continue this process? Do you just revisit the choice areas in previous acts a couple of times and move on once you're competitive again?


How does Corki's passive work?

Is the true damage on top of his AD or build into his damage? Here is the passive for reference: > (Innate): Corki's autoattacks deal 10% of his total physical damage before > armor adjustment, as additional true damage to minions, monsters, and > champions. If I had 100 AD and shoot a target with 0 armor, does it then deal 100 damage hence 90% from AD and rest from true damage or does it deal 110 damage because of 100 AD+10% from passive?


Using an XBOX360 wireless controller in WoW used to work but not anymore  (Windows 7 x64) using Xpadder software

It works in the operating system Windows 7 x64. For example the left analog stick is the mouse and that works flawlessly in the OS?


Battlefield 3 problem connecting to same server on LAN

In Battlefield 3, I'm able to connect to a server with a first computer, but the second computer in the LAN will always keep on the "connecting..." phase. I think that happens because I was using the same port. Origin uses registry to launch the game so I changed the registry to use another port: `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX\Games{438D1154-48C0-41FD- BDB0-BC789AAA5BE3}\AppExePath` using `C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3\bf3.exe +clientport 20000` But it didn't work. Also tried to enable/disable UPnP. Of course both computers have different accounts.


Are the strategic cruisers worth their price?

Among all the EvE players, everyone knows the Tech3 Strategic Cruisers... but most of them doesn't want to even think of flying those, so it's pretty hard to find some relevant information. For starters, on the PVE side, I don't see what a strategic cruiser would bring on the table that a much cheaper battleship (or drake) wouldn't. On the PVP side, instead, I don't see the advantages of the tier 3 cruiser on the tier 2 dedicated ship. I guess I must be missing something! Maybe there's a specific version of this cruiser that shines in its own particular way? I'm thinking in particular about the Proteus cruiser. Since the evil gallente nerfbat (hybrid weapons), does the Proteus still have any value as a gunboat? Is it possible to have a decent non-theorical dps whilr using the interdiction nullifier and covert reconfiguration subsystems? (Viable ship for missions lvl5?)

Is this a new feature that was added in the Retribution 1.1 patch?


Will assisted drones follow a guarding drone into a fight?

It is possible to instruct your drones in EVE to 'guard' or 'assist' players when in a fleet. I've noticed that when you set drones to guard individual players in your fleet, only the drone that is currently guarding the player that is attacked will engage the enemy attacking that player. If I were to set one of each of my drones to 'guard' an individual in my fleet, and then each player in my fleet set their drones to 'assist' me, would all drones assisted to me attack if one of my drones engaged an enemy?


Does it matter who executes a Limit?

There are a lot of different limit possibilities in the game, and I'm wondering if for some of the more generic ones, it matters which characters get assigned to them, and of those, which in particular does the executing. For example, one of the first Limits you get is Cross Slash, which you have to assign to two characters. Do the stats/gear of the characters it is assigned to matter in terms of how much damage it does? And does it matter which of the two guys it is assigned to I actually trigger it with?


Where can I find a Portal Gem, and how does it work?

Earlier today I've seen a guy selling a Portal Gem. Never heard of that before. from what I've read so far, it seems pretty rare and expensive.

And I suppose it requires to bind a key to use it ?

How do you use the Moster Gold Medal?

In Knights of Pen and Paper ... I have a "Moster Gold Medal" that states "Can fight 7 monsters in battle". I've equipped it onto one of the party members. I can still only fight 5 monsters in battle.

Do Temple Run 2 artifacts (masks, rings, and holidays) appear randomly, or based on your actions?

Do chests appear randomly, or are they rewarded after you achieve specific things? What achievements? The odd distribution (I've gotten 8 Fire Breather masks, and only one of most of them) hints that it isn't random.   * The ten rings are Infinite Loop, Angel Wings, Twisted Root, Floating Island, Sky Clasp, Demon Claw, Ruby Shard, Caves Maw, Mystic Rocks, and Idol's Curse.   * The ten masks are Fire Breather, Infinite Seeker, Traveling Tiki, Skyward Scream, Serpent's Smile, Silent Menace, Jade Monster, The Gatekeeper, Demon Skull, and Face of the Idol   * The five Christmas artifacts are Candy Cane, Stocking, Holly, Present, and Wreath. Also, have you ever opened _more than one_ chest per run? I ask because all this work to reach Level 10 is making me kill myself after I grab a chest.

Is there a better way to split the party than just moving them separately?

At the point where it's necessary to split the party in the Highpool Tunnels, I addressed this by using `spc` to leave formation movement mode and box- selecting all but one character to move. Reselecting the main party every time I have to switch perspective to the character left behind and back is annoying and error-prone, however. Is there a better way to split the party, possibly in a more persistent fashion like Wasteland used?

I've looked through the ("Animus Desktop") - aka the Start menu, but I don't see Objectives anywhere. **How can I figure out where I am and who I'm supposed to kill?**

I can't delete town in Scenario Editor if it has oil rig in nearby waters

Using scenario editor, I created a town near waters and put an oil rig in waters. When I try to delete town, now it refuses that it has station or objects using city name. It do not let me delete oil rig also in any way. I renamed oil rig also to give it separate name from city name it inherited but no success. I have many other towns and industries in the scenario so starting a new scenario is not the best option. Let me know if I can just delete couple of towns with oil rigs.

Jerky lag on Minecraft OS X

I've been playing Minecraft for a year now, and have had this weird problem where about 5 minutes after I start playing, the game gets jerky (will lag for a second, then be normal for 2 seconds) and after 5-10 minutes, it stops happening. I don't get why, this is my video settings: ![Minecraft Video Settings](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YMLnI.png) It happens on any texture pack. My MacBook is a late-2009 model, 2.2 GHz, dual core, 4GB RAM. Anyone know why this happens?

What constitutes a head shot in Dead Trigger?

In Dead Trigger, head shots seem rather sporadic, which can be frustrating, especially when dealing with these guys: ![Seriously. An full AK clip into this bastard's face and he's still coming](http://i.stack.imgur.com/HV3VQ.jpg) Four or five point blank shotgun rounds into the face, and the only thing I get is the _ping_ -ing noise of his stupid helmet protecting his stupid face. Reminiscent of _Goldeneye: 64_ , where the guards had helmets that could stop a .44 Magnum. The issue isn't just limited to the armored undead gentlemen, however: all the zombies seem to have some magic ability to frequently shrug off head shots. It's extremely obvious when using the "Big Head" powerup (I can't remember exactly what it's called right now, something like "Head-flator"): there's really no question about whether or not I'm actually hitting their head, but frequently it takes two or three shots to actually register a head shot. What exactly determines whether a hit is a head shot or not? Is there a chance factor? E.G., if you hit a zombie in the head, the game rolls a d20 behind the scenes to see if it actually was a head shot or not?


Mecha-Washingtons keep destroying my flagship. What can I do?

I'm at the part where you have to defend the flagship against waves of attacking zeppelins carrying hordes of soldiers. I'm playing on Hard difficulty, so enemies soak up enough damage that I can't quite keep up with them, and they slowly destroy the ship's core. (I don't even want to think about dealing with this on 1999 Mode...) What strategies are effective in this fight? Should I be saving my "air strikes" for the gunships, or should I be using them against the infantry on the decks? How do I deal with the Patriots?


Unit tile swap. Works one way and not the other, Why?

When there are two of my units adjacent to each other, you can perform a unit swap between their two hex tiles. You do this by dragging the cursor of one unit over the other. The cursor turns white, let go of the mouse button and the units swap tiles. I find that sometimes I select unit A and find that trying to swap with unit B does not work. However, switching to using unit B to initiate the swap does work. Why is this?


What do these triangles in my inventory mean?

Having just looted my very first spoils of war, I notice that some of the items I've picked up have small, upward-pointing triangles next to their names.

So what do these triangles indicate? ![screenshot of triangles](http://i.stack.imgur.com/pVqvk.jpg)


How do I use four familiars in battle?

So I am currently around level 45 with my main character and I am working through the West Midlands Underground. At the moment there is a PvP event going on which I am actively taking part in. However, sometimes when I select my opponent I notice that they have a set of 4 familiars to battle against. How can I get this too? I have already unlocked a couple of additional formations, so my best guess is that at some point I will get a 4-man formation. If this is the case, when will I get my first 4-main formation, and what other formations are available? (Note: I think my latest formation I got was "Wave") Also, can you get more than a 4-man formation? I remember last week there was a different kind of event which had some sort of boss battles (large enemies) that allowed me to field 6 of my familiars at once. Is this just an event specific formation perhaps? Perhaps another interesting question: once I have access to a 4-man formation, are there any motivations for me to ever go back to a 3-man?


What to do with unused familiars?

So I have been playing _Blood Brothers_ for a few days now, and have racked up a good few familiars in storage. I currently have about 40, and as there is a maximum storage space for 50 I want to start cleaning these up a bit. For the most part I have been evolving my familiar so I can complete the "Collection", so a lot of these are currently at their maximum evolution, and I just cannot see myself using them in battle. So time to get rid of some. From what I can tell, there are generally two options I have:   1. I can cash them in for gold   2. I can use them to boost the skills of my main characters The problem is I don't know which is the best option. Currently, I have over 300K in gold coins, and from what I can tell, this kind of money is easier to get hold of then spend. So the first question is: Is there anything for me to save up for? or is this kind of money purely for evolving and skill improvement? With option 2 in mind, most of the familiars (more so the ones I want to get rid of) offer relatively little skill XP for my main characters, but naturally every little counts. One question here might be: is it worth leveling-up a weak familiar before using them for skill improvements? do the higher levels generally make much difference? I know there is a few "sub-questions" in all that, but the ultimate question is: **What is more beneficial in the long run? Selling familiars for gold, or using them for skill upgrades?**


How can I change my in-game playername?

Is it tied purely to my Steam profile name, or can I set my in-game name independently? In CS Source you used to be able to change the name drectly form the console with a 'name' command. Ideally I'd like to be able to have he in-game name totally separate from my steam profile name as changing that around will confuse people on my Friends list.


Is there a purpose in trading time-limited crates?

Some crates (like the Fall Crate) are supposed to be a limited time item, set to disappear at a given date and time. Yet those that acquired the crates during the event and didn't log back in the game still have these crates in their inventory, and can trade them. Provided that they would disappear the moment you log in TF2, is there any purpose in trading them besides collecting them? Is there still a way to open an expired Crate?


What skills don't reset Sharpshooter?

Interaction between high ground, detection, and "vision"

After getting nuked several times in a row last night, I came up with a somewhat esoteric question. Let's say I have a spore crawler in my base. If a cloaked unit comes within range of the crawler, it is revealed, and my hydralisks can kill the ghost. That's easy. Now let's say my hatchery is on low ground, and there is high ground right near it. I build a spore crawler right at the base of the high ground. If a ghost is up on that high ground, cloaked or not, i can't see him because I don't have vision of the high ground. Still pretty easy. Now I move an overlord (not overseer) over to where the ghost is. Now I can see the ghost if it is uncloaked. If there was a hydralisk at the bottom of the cliff, it could attack the ghost because the overlord's vision allows the hydra to target the ghost. Now for the tricky part. What if the ghost is cloaked? Does the overlord's vision allow the spore crawler's detection ability to "target" the ghost and reveal it, the same way the hydra could target it in the previous scenario? Or would I need to build a spore crawler on the high ground? (I know I could also morph an overseer, but that is not relevant to this question, which is focused on the exact mechanics of detection and how it interacts with vision of high ground.)

I am looking for a comprehensive table or article on each brawl character's opponents they are strong against (Strengths) and opponents they are weak against. For a given character give me other characters he/she is strong against and weak against.

I also feel that it would be beneficial to the community to have such a table indexed and referenced.

How to channel Redstone current vertically?

I'm making a door with piston sliding sideways that reacts to pressure plates.   As the pressure plates are sending the current to redstone at a very low level, I need to raise it somehow, and this leads to awkward stairs of redstone. ![Screenshot of my contraption](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NZFQh.png) So I'm wondering whether there are better ways of sending the redstone current up, maybe even vertically.


If I install WotLK, will the updater automatically download Cataclysm and patch for me?

I have DSL internet with low bandwidth and would like to avoid downloading 18GB at 170KB/s download speeds. I own World of Warcraft on DVD but I can't find my Cataclysm disk, but I do have my old WotLK disc. Am I able to save myself some time by installing WotLK and then have the patcher bring me up to Cataclysm somehow, or does it not work like that? Is there anything I can do to avoid downloading the full game?


What happens when I level up?

A notice on your first level says that health and damage increases with every level. By how much? Does it differ by class? And what else? Is it always one skill point per level? Do other stats change?


Is it possible to achieve Conscentious Objector as a solo player?

The Conscientious Objector achievement is earned by playing from Home Castle to Barbarian Boss without attacking any enemies. Considering that you can't advance each battle until all enemies are killed (the entire point of, you know, battling), does that make it impossible to achieve without playing with friends? Or can you rely on damage-dealing pets to attack enemies for you as an exception to the achievement requirement?


Is there a vendor who sells Golden Carp?

In Mist of Pandaria (in Valley of Four Winds) there is cooking trainger who helps you to boost your cooking skills. He also sells ingredients needed for those "power leveling" cooking products.

Interrupting Skooma trade after previously clearing the cave

I have a big problem in Skyrim. I have a quest from Riften to interrupt the Skooma trade, but I already cleared the cave before accepting quest.

Switching items between d3 characters in diff regions?

**THE ISSUE** First, understand the background --> here   * I am Australian D3 player   * I didn't check region and started playing (it turns out it defaulted to European servers)   * Now I'm level 50 I tried to access RMAH, and get error message - **"No currencies available"** Based on this, currencies available for me are: USD, MXN, ARS, CLP and AUD(clearly my prefered currency-but anyway). After this it seems clear I should be playing in Americas all along-just I never knew that this was an option or that it was chosen for me...) * * * **SOLUTION?**   * Does **it** ( **it** , the fact I started on Eurpoean server and just want to be able to sell items I pick up) matter?   * It seems I am unable to trade in european AH (even if i **didn't care** about different currencies). **IDEA 1:**   * I understand that you can switch items between characters.   * Will this cover me, should I want to sell an item in RMAH?    * i.e. switch it to player in my region, sell from there ? **NO MORE IDEAS:**   * Do I have any options available?   * Or is the only way to switch servers and invest another... ~~i dunno what, 60-100+ hours to be able to access AH? Note at no point of course is the user asked when starting the game what server they want to play in. You're just supposed to know.~~ **IN RESPONSE TO COMMENTS:** :   * Currently my region is set to **European**   * When I click on RMAH I get **no currencies available**. I have not changed my region to American and tested, I wanted to suss out what my options are before making a change that I don't fully understand the consequences of (they're are a lot of sob stories on this subject)

Is there a way to easily find DLC for a game on the Vita?

When i search for DLC on the PS3/4 i can just go into the playstation store, search for the game and bellow it lists some DLC but there is a button to show all the DLC to the game. On the Vita however i can't do that, i look for a game (ie. Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1) but when i go into it it's gives the the description and to buy/download but i don't have the same list as i do on the PS3/4. when i use the search option i get DLC that's not even for the game i'm looking for, while i do have both Hyperdimension Neptunia Games on the Vita some of the DLC i was seeing on the list didn't even belong to either (some looked like they were from Dead or Alive). So i am wondering, is there an easier way to get all the DLC for only one game to appear?

Where can I download old Wii demos?

New Computer- Port forwarding stopped working

I used to run all sorts of minecraft servers off of my old computer but that one was old and slow. Now I got a new computer and I wanted to get back to running servers and when I set up my port forwarding I cannot connect to the server. I know the port forwarding within the router is set up right, could there be firewall settings that I need to configure? Thanks


Getting electrocutioners gloves after missing them the first time

I'm playing Arkham Origins on PC, and after I knocked out Electrocutioner I didn't take his gloves...didn't see a way too. I'm up to defeating copperhead..at least that's my mission objective, although I can't find her. I thought I would deal with Riddlers towers, but am up to the one where I need the gloves to get rid of the disrupter. I went back to Penguins ship, but I can't get back to the theater where I knocked out Electrocutioner. I remember Alfred saying something about him being on the move again and being able to track him, but I can't find any indication on my map. How can I find him and get the shock gloves?

How can I up the quarry chunk loading limit?

When I try and place a quarry with a large area I get the following:               Quarry size is outside the chunk loading bounds or too small 251 (25)     [BUILDCRAFT]the quarry at 28 68 284 will keep 2 chunks loaded      And instead of following the markers, it places with the default size. The limit seems to be 2 chunks, which is extremely restrictive (I can't place a quarry over the boundary between 4 chunks for example). Is there a way (preferably in-game) of modifying the amount of chunks a quarry can keep loaded?

What is the benefit of becoming a neutron star?

In my first playthrough, I rather ignored the missions (or failed all the ones I attempted...), and just tried to get as big as possible. I was surprised to find that when I "upgraded" to a neutron star, I lost 6 of my planets and my capacity was reduced to 4. Are there any benefits to becoming a neutron star, short of it just being another step on the way to black hole?


Why do different casinos generate different amount of money?

Casinos are a bit confusing to me. I have 3 casinos and I built my Sci-fi casino. My first two casinos easily make me money, the first one here: ![](http://i.imgur.com/HTtbrNI.jpg) easily makes me 40k a day this one here below it: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Qqjss.jpg) makes a lot less, but still positive income Now the new sci-fi casino that I built makes SO much less, its actually 9k negative. My question is why do the casinos make such a different amount of money, and why does the Sci-fi casino steal money from me, while the other two make so much? (I have given it about a month of time to see if it would begin making money)

How do I fly the chopper with the keyboard?

No matter how boldly and self-confident I hop into a helicopter in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, it takes only 5 seconds for me to lose control and crash the vehicle. How do you control the choppers with just the mouse and the keyboard? I don't want to use a joystick or a pad. Specifically, what is the typical keyboard layout? Do I need to use keys for both turning and yaw? I also need to see it in action, so a video of the screen and ideally the keyboards would be extra nice.

How to murder efficiently as an assassin?

My character is a archer/sneak type of guy but I'm having a hard time playing the game. I can kill regular NPCs easily with sneak attack but as soon as I run into a more bad ass type of enemy I'm unable to kill them and I have to run by them like a coward... One example is the first time you go to the Greybeards, up the 7000 step stairs. There were 2 trolls and an ice wolf that I wasn't even close to be able to kill. They regenerated life faster than I was able to damage them! Is there something I'm missing in being an assassin type of player in Skyrim?

Keystone of Trials drop rate and requirements?

So far, I think Keystone of Trials drop rate is 100% for T6 and maybe 25% for T1. Is there any empirical data that confirms? Are T1 and level 70 required? Edit: these were changed in a hotfix on Sept 3, 2014: > The drop rate for Key of Trials has been significantly increased (9/3) My new guess, based on a few dozen runs, is 75% at T1 and 5% more per difficulty, but I'd still like to know approximate rates.

Stop! Futo Time! Trophy / Achievement

I complete the game and this trophy did not pop. I'm wondering if I can just go back to each level on a replay, kill something with Futo, and then exit.

Trying to avoid a second play through of this, although I enjoyed the game.


Can I disenchant the Archmage's Robes?

I have never have been able to disenchant the Archmage's Robes, but I don't have 100 enchanting yet so maybe that's why. You know the duplication glitch that allows you to put a piece of armor on the mannequins in the house in solitude then take it off the mannequins leave and go back inside your house and it is on the mannequins for you to collect. Well I wanted to know if you could use this trick with the Archmage's Robes and after getting a duplicate from this trick you'll be able to disenchant the duplicate?


Now You See Me ... Trophy / Achievement

What is the best method to grind out this trophy? Can I kill a bunch of guys while under stealth and then restart at a checkpoint to repeat the process - or will I lose my kill count doing that? Do the kills still count if you die? **EDIT** : What move counts as a stealth kill? Just to be sure I'm not wasting my time. From the tutorial you're supposed to hold `L2` to stealth, get close and then hold `SQUARE` to attack? But sometimes he just swings and doesn't instant kill them, and the stealth is broken.

How to play DayZ without hackers

Does Anivia's Frostbite synergize with other Champions?

Frostbite deals double damage to champions "slowed by an ice effect." This seems to imply that any ice effect should work, but the forums seem divided on the matter. It obviously works with Anivia's own skills, as otherwise it would be pointless. Check off Flash Frost, and Glacial Storm. Very few people seem to think that the damage doubles against champions effected by items. Items that seem to slow via frost are Rylai's Crystal Scepter, and Iceborn Gauntlet. There are a number of champions with ice-based slows, and this list seems more divisive, some threads seem to claim a subset, some claim them all, and some claim none of them. Those I can think of are:   1. Sejuani; Frost, Permafrost    2. Ashe; Frost Shot, Volley (sometimes), Enchanted Crystal Arrow   3. Nunu; Ice blast, Absolute Zero

Buying games across countries with GameTreeOnline

I am currently sitting in Sydney for a summer break and I want to buy games from GameTreeOnline. Unfortunately, their 'security' mechanisms prevent me from using my bank account while in Sydney, though they would let me purchase if I were willing to do a cross country transaction with an Australian bank account, so it would be legal. However, I can ask my friend to purchase it on my account for me. Now I am curious if said sites would allow me to purchase in the US and then turn around and download from Australia, or would they block my download (in which case my money would be wasted because the main reason I'm buying the game is to play it over the next month). So, precis: Can I have my friend in the states buy the game from GameTreeOnline and then download the game in Australia?

On Day three of Framing Frame (but also in other missions, such as the mission where you enter the FBI building) there are cameras available which you access by interacting with a laptop on the roof.

How can I improve the performance of Skyrim on Mac using Wineskin?

I use a Mac as a gaming device with the help of Wineskin wrappers that allow PC games to run on Mac. I've installed Oblivion through Wineskin. Oblivion works well on the highest possible setting on my early 2010 MacBook Pro 13" with an Nvidia 320M 256 MB graphics card.

How can I force save in GTA Online without leaving?

I know when you leave GTA Online it's _supposed_ to save, however I think the loss of money/properties/levels is caused by it _saving_ when the cloud servers are offline. So my question is, is there anything I can do in a session to force it to save automatically, so if I save it 10 times within half an hour, hopefully at least one of those times the cloud servers are online and it will save. I'm asking because I lost 5 levels and 200k yesterday, and I've made a lot of money today. Also, this may not be the cause of why data is being lost, but I'd like to at least give myself as good a chance as possible of saving it.

Transfer steam app data (TF2) from Mac to PC

I imagine the executable binaries are completely different between the platforms, but that the maps, textures, sounds, etc would all be identical. Any ideas?

Early and Late game Runes

So I recently started playing Fizz and I've seen some builds from some various sites. The Runes I ended up using now are:   * +6.5 Magic Pen.   * +4.5 Armor Pen.   * +45 Ability Power at level 18   * +15 Ability Power So I'm just thinking, why use +45 AP at level 18? What I mean is that if I get fed early game I'll be good late as well because of items and everything. So that +45 won't do much ( In my opinion ). If I feed early game, that +45 definitely won't do much ( Again, in my humble opinion ). If I stay with a decent score through the whole game, same logic as before. So, I would like to ask. Isn't it better to put Runes focusing only on early game instead of putting some for early and some for late? Because if you get fed early game with the advantage from the, only, early game Runes you will have a huge advantage late game, which means that you won't need as much that +45 AP.

With the latest 1.6.2 edition with the horse update I wanted to check some things out. I know you can get saddles from a villager trade but can you get horse armor?


What is Nephalem Glory, and what does it do?

In the _D3_ demo, I've seen a few yellow orbs drop that produce a "Nephalem Glory" buff (that I've never seen in the PC version), but since I have no mouse, I cannot mouseover and figure out what the heck it does. The buff doesn't appear to do much, at least. What does the buff do? Do they stack? Is there a cap? How long does it last? What are its drop conditions?


Why can't I remap keys?

I am playing Brutal Legend through Steam and have just killed the fist Nun, very beginning of the game before getting the car or leaving the very first are. I decided I want to change the lock-on button from ctrl to a thumb button on my mouse. I hit ESC, go to the keymaping area of the menu, and click the activity I want to re-map. A nice box pups up telling me to "Press any key or mouse". I click the thuhmb mouse button I want to map to. Nothing happens. I try again. Still nothing. I try middle mouse button. Nothing. I have not pushed every letter on my keyboard as well as ctrl and a few other keys, but nothing changes. I still see the pop-up message. Maybe it froze, I think to myself. I check task manager and it says it is Running, no issues at all. I open steam overlay, works fine. I try ESC to get out of the menu, still nothing. So now I have tried mapping this to anything, including what it was, as well as trying to get out of the menu withough closing the game completely. Nothing is working. Any ideas on how I can re-map this or beck out of this menu without closing the game completely? Here is the screen I am stuck at. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fuIMv.jpg)


Do barbarian camps ever stop spawning?

I'm in a particularly long game, and I've been plagued by barbarians for the majority of it. I've since posted numerous units to remove a lot of the fog of war, but I haven't seen any camps for a long time (I have the honor social policy, so it notifies me). Did they stop spawning due to the almost non-existent fog of war, due to the number of camps uncleared on the map, or because it is 2058 AD?


where do I put the files when I download adventure maps?

I am having trouble knowing where you put the files of adventure maps. I couldn't find anything of where to put the files once they are downloaded in the description. Where do I put the files of adventure maps so that I can play them?
