How do I check my progress on Grand Theft Auto 5 story mode?

I do not know how to check my progress in Grand Theft Auto 5, like I have heard people say they are 73% done with story mode and I would like to know how far I have got until I complete the game so I can do that Easter egg on top of Mt. Chilidad where you see the UFO in the sky, so can anyone tell me how to check my progress please? Thank you.


Why are the magically sealed doors in Fellglow Keep not working?

At fellglow keep, there is a cellar door and a normal door near it with magic effect over it, as I searched at google images, it seems to be a "magically sealed door". The point is, no matter I open or close them, nothing happens and the effect wont wear off... nothing will explode either, nothing at all happens... Also, one npc has interacted with the normal door before (not with the cellar door) but I saw nothing happening either... I wonder if my installation is broken or they are supposed to be like that in some way; On google I did not find much info... Is this a broken thing?


Minecraft 1.7.10 won't launch

I downloaded minecraft 1.7.10 and I changed the eula thing to true and when it opens it just shows the white screen (stats, players, logs & chat) but then it just does nothing from there and I cannot figure out how to fix it.


Do "at the start of your turn" abilities work due to a swap with Alarm-o-Bot?

Let's suppose that, at the beginning of my turn, Alarm-o-Bot (previously played) is exchanged with a creature in my hand, having an "at the beginning of your turn..." ability. Does the latter ability take place? Or my turn is no longer considered to be "at the beginning"? As an example, let's suppose that Alarm-o-Bot is exchanged with a Doomsayer. Are all the minions instantly destroied? ![Allarm-o-Bot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3yhFM.png) ![Doomsayer](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KO2qA.png) Thank you.

Dwarf Fortress labor preferences

Why shouldn't I build a Last Whisper after Infinity Edge, Blood Thirster, and Black Cleaver?

In every League of Legends game that I've ever seen, the AD carry usually rushes Infinity Edge and then builds Bloodthirster and Black Cleaver afterwards. Instead of building a Last Whisper like I expect, they usually build something else after those items. Are there any cons to building a Last Whisper after the Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster and Black Cleaver?


How do I unlock the Battlefield 3 soldier in multiplayer?

My friend has a fifth option available for his soldier class in multiplayer called "Battlefield 3". It looks similar to the human male model, but features the characteristic glowworm look as well as the Carnage ability in place of Concussive Shot. **How do I unlock the "glowworm soldier"?**


Which kinds of objects are worth destroying for fragments?

When just raging for a while and destroying objects, it's pretty clear that different kinds of destructible objects provide different number of blue fragments. Pieces of walls and masonry, for instance, seem to provide none, while potted plants always net a few fragments. I don't think I want to invest the time in destroying every single object in the hope in will get me shards, but I don't want to miss out on "valuable" objects, either. Is there some sort of guideline or chart which would indicate which objects I would want to destroy and which ones I can skip? I realize the types of objects change between levels, but even a rough guideline will do.


Can you beat the beefy enemies without relying on ranged attacks?

Even after playing castle crashers for quite a bit and leveling up some of my characters, I am still having problems with the beefy versions of enemies that you run across every now and then. I'm talking about enemies like the one on the bottom right in the following image: ![Beefcake!](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7rKek.jpg) Seeing how they can take quite a beating, do not really seem to be stunned by melee attacks and can simply pick you up and throw you away, I spend most of my time running away from them and using my magic every now and then until they die. Not very heroic, and very difficult if there are many bad guys around to interfere. So my question is, is there something I'm missing here, or must I rely on ranged attacks to take them down without getting pummeled?

is it possible to spawn wither skeletons using commands?

The annoying thing about wither skeletons is: There is no way I know of to spawn them in the overworld! I have determined that there is no way to spawn wither skeletons in the overworld without commands. So that is what I am looking into. I want to know if there is a command that summons wither skeletons so then I can play around with it a bit and possibly even convert it so I get a wither skeleton spawner. Also, I already know that if you spawn a skeleton in the nether it has an 80% chance to spawn as a wither skeleton.


What is the reward for breaking a tomb open in Gemcraft Labyrinth?

There are a few maps with tombs in them in the tower defence game Gemcraft Labyrinth, they are often heavily armored and take a while to break open, with a swarm of shadow monsters coming out. I've mostly avoided opening the tombs until I am strong enough to stop these. What is the reward for opening and defeating one of the tombs? What about maps where there are more than one tomb? Do you get battle amulets, skill points if you defeat one but not the other?


Backup and reassign of protected save games from on PS3 HDD to another

My PS3 died with YLOD two days ago. I haven't been able to power it on since. I'd like to be able to backup and reassign the saved games, including the protected saves, to a new PS3's HDD. Is there any software available which can, via a PC, extract saved game data from a PS3 hard disk and reassign it to a different PS3 hard disk?


Why am I never attacked? Why is the AI so peaceful?

I usually play prince and I usually win the games. What I hardly get ever attacked. Sometimes not even until the modern era. Is there a tweak or a mod to change this? Or should I declare a war in the beginning of the game so that the game gets more interesting? Usually, I don't see a reason for doing this.


Does escaping from pursuers in a chase count toward kill streaks?

So I'm challenge hunting and am working on the Wanted 5-kill streak challenge. I'd say I'm a Deathmatch veteran and have no trouble picking out my targets and emasculating my pursuers. Going after targets is not quite as rewarding (nor easy) as taking out pursuers. But sometimes I end up getting stupid pursuers. You know the kind, the ones that runs around the map like idiots just looking for a lock indicator to just pop up for them. It's not worth my time in a lot of cases for me to chase them down just to stun them, often they'd trigger a chase and not know where the heck I am. So I'd just stay hidden in my blend group as they trot away and get my escape. Do escapes count toward my kill streaks? If it does, does it also count for multiple escapes? i.e., Two pursuers in a chase, one big escape from both of them, two points for the kill streak or one? I couldn't tell myself whether or not they were adding up as it doesn't happen too often for me.

Generating my world map without visiting the region?

I'd like my Minecraft map to get fleshed out a bit around the region where I'm at to see if there are villiages or other structures worth checking out. However I'd like to keep from walking around in circles just to get the game to generate the map. Is there a way I can get the game to generate a chunk of my map without having to get "close" to the chunk?


Horrible bug where I can't use a soldier, what is the cause and is there a work around?

So I'll be playing my missions as normal and seemingly at random my sniper will lose all abilities except for grapple and hunker down.   When I click on those abilities get the "unh-unh" sound and I can't actually use them either.   He has his sniper rifle out but there isn't a currently selected gun (indicated by the white box in the bottom right corner)   When I click on one of his weapons he puts his sniper rifle away and then pulls it out again.   He is completely useless for fighting aliens as he can only move around and I can't even put him in overwatch. This especially brutal because he is at the top ranking and I need him to clear out the super tough enemies with his double tap. What causes this and how can I avoid/fix it?


What creatures and generic NPCs can be reanimated with each of the 'Conjuration - Reanimate' spells?

The 'Conjuration - Reanimate' spells you can get improve as you level up your Conjuration Skill: (Conjuration - Reanimate Spell, Conjuration skill level requirement, and the spell description) **Raise Zombie** - 0 - Reanimate _a weak dead body_ to fight for you for 60 seconds   **Reanimate Corpse** - 25 - Reanimate _a more powerful dead body_ to fight for you for 60 seconds   **Revenant** - 50 - Reanimate _a powerful dead body_ to fight for you for 60 seconds   **Dread Zombie** - 75 - Reanimate _a very powerful dead body_ to fight for you for 60 seconds   **Dead Thrall** - 100 - Reanimate _a dead body_ permanently to fight for you **Based on these descriptions, it is hard to know what exactly the spell will work on. What is a _weak dead body_? _A more powerful dead body_? _A powerful dead body_? etc.?** Skyrim classifies creatures and NPCs into generic classes as enumerated on the pages below: List of Creatures (from UESP)   List of Generic NPCs (from UESP) Within each of these classes, there is also a breakdown of more powerful types of those classes that are added as the player levels. So within the Bandit class, there is the initial Bandit, then the Bandit Outlaw, then the Bandit Thug, etc. From this information, it seems apparent that the _weak_ , _more powerful_ , and _powerful_ descriptions may be related to the type within each creature or NPC class as the types themselves do not scale to the player's level with the exception of boss-types. The Reanimate spells' qualifications of power may relate to class as well. From http://uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Leveling#Effects_of_Leveling : > ...all leveled enemies are generated more like leveled creatures in Fallout. > For example, Bandit NPCs are always a fixed level for their name (Bandits > are level 1, Bandit Thugs are level 9, Bandit Highwaymen are level 14, etc). > The player's level affects the range of possible bandit types generated > within a bandit dungeon, and probably the frequency, but does not seem to > affect the resulting stats except in a few rare cases. Lower variant bandits > remain reasonably common even when more dangerous bandits are available. To optimize magicka consumption, it would be useful to know the minimum level of reanimation spell necessary for a given class and type of enemy. So, **what is the minimum level of reanimation spell needed for each type of each creature and NPC class?** It would be nice if there were a set of general rules such as "regardless of class of creature or NPC, if they appear after the player is between levels X and Y, then you need at least the level Z conjuration spell" or "these classes of NPCs and creatures all need at least the level Z conjuration spell."


Fastest way to make money in GTA IV multiplayer?

I've been reading a lot about money-making schemes in GTA IV multiplayer, and everyone seems to believe something different works best. What is the one mathematically fastest way to make money? Assume the player has access to the main game, The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and The Damned DLC packs. Try to avoid answers that require boosters (people who are willing to help you specifically gain money), since they're few and far between.

Can't get group without Destroyer's End achievement, advice

I am not in a raiding guild but have achieved an ilvl of 390 on my rogue. I would like to do Dragon Soul runs outside of LFR to get higher ilvl gear. The problem is, no one will take a toon without the Destroyer's End achievement. What are some things I can do to get through a normal DS run to get this achievement and get into subsequent groups? I'm sure it'll be much easier to get in, but every time I ask a group leader to make an exception (I assure them I will not roll on items just to get the achievement), I get blown off because of no achievement.


How can I get my Wii online when a connection is through a sign in page?

I currently have an internet setup in my apartment that requires me to load a sign in page in my browser before I can access the internet. Problem is, I don't know how I can do this on the Wii, as it just gives me an error on the connection before I can even get to a browser. The error happens when I am trying to set up the connection through the internet connection manager in the Wii settings. I get the error number 52231 and it says "Unable to connect to the server." Is there some way I can get the wii to connect to the internet? If wireless isn't an option with this setup, I do have a Nintendo USB -> ethernet adapter - this might be the craziest question ever, as I know little about how the internet connections work, but is there some way I can string my desktop's internet into my wii? (I have no access to the main house's router or anything like that.)


AI mechanics in fighting games, can they remember a human's tactics?

Given a fighting game like Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade or one of the Marvel vs Capcom titles I would like to know if the AI used in this style of game is capable of "remembering" a human player's tactics. It is quite common to notice that _within a single match_ the AI does tend to not allow you to spam the same move multiple times. For example, a high kick may hit first time, again the second time but by the third the AI has "wised up" and blocks the identical move. Is it the case that the AI in these sort games is programmed to learn the player's moves, and persist this learned information _between_ games. For example, if I am a player who is keen on flying kicks, will the game learn that fact and tailor its future tactics to combat my preference for flying kicks? As an extension to that, would it therefore help get through a single player campaign on one of these games by swapping to a different human [when stuck on a level], with different tactics in order to "confuse" the game, or could the AI perhaps be able to track the behaviour of more than one human?


Why can't I get Zombie Pigmen to spawn?

I have spent the last several days making a Zombie Pigman Grinder/Gold Farm. this is on Minecraft SMP, and so this took a while. Now it is built, and I cannot get any Zombie pigmen to spawn for the life of me. I have waited at the base/ collection area of the trap for **10 minutes** - and none spawned. Here are some screenshots of the trap: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/1x7NH.png) This is the base of the trap, where the Zombie pigmen fall, and I can collect the gold nuggets here. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/wo4fl.png) Looking up at the top of the trap. Basic working principle is that the pigmen spawn up there in the spawning area and walk onto the open gates as if they were solid blocks, then fall 30 blocks to their death. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/D2ojU.png) Spawning Area, from the right side. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sl5lC.png) Spawning area, from the left side.

Where are the 15 fallen members of New Tristram's militia?

When you're wandering around in New Tristram, one of the villagers will occasionally tell you: "Sixteen militia men went out, only Rumsford came back". In addition to this, you will find corpses of the "Tristram Militia" scattered amongst the undead. Since they're all in non-random areas, I'm curious if the frightened recruit is right. Are there _actually_ only 15 Tristram Militia corpses? Or is the recruit exaggerating?


How do I unlock higher difficulty levels in Diablo III?

Microstick on Thrustmaster Hotas Cougar doesn't work

Does anyone know how to get a reaction of the microstick on the Thrustmaster Hotas Cougar? The Foxy4 software doesn't seem to work on Windows 7, so I can't try that.

I would like to have as much different answers as there possibly are so I can try it all. I haven't done any scripting yet with the HOTAS, so if that is your solution, please be elaborate in your answer. Thanks in advance.

Can asylum residents see in the dark?

In Outlast, there are patients and inmates in the asylum that are some of the main antagonists in the game. They are called the variants. During the game, there are scenes that they follow you in the dark. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/InFnu.png) Did they somehow adapt the dark environment of the asylum? Or do they have a weakened vision and improved hearing and smelling? Because sometimes, we also hear them sniffing.

UQM: probability of Orz vac-suit kills in different opponent ships

This article on Ultronomicon describes how the Orz "intruders" (Marines) kill enemy crew and are killed in turn. The article implies that the probabilities are the same regardless of the type of enemy ship. To me, however, it seems that Orz intruders do better in some enemy ship types than others. Particularly, the Slylandro probes seem to be almost impervious to them. Is the article's implication correct in terms of the game source code? Is it possible that other factors, such as poor random-number generation, could cause the effective probability to be different?

Is there a point to playing the Tiny Death Star if I don't plan on spending any money?

I've been playing Tiny Death Star on the iPad for 2 months now and it just gets repetitive: refill the products, find the occasional spy, collect some things from Imperial levels. I've built up 40 retail levels plus 6 Imperial ones. I suspect there is more to the game if you decided to spend real money to buy Imperial Bux, but I am not planning to. Is there more to this game other than what I am already doing, given that I am not planning to spend any money on it?

Getting "free" reputation that's opposed to my alignment: good or bad?

In Mass Effect 2, certain actions will give you either Paragon or Renegade reputation. In conversations, there are often choices where you must choose whether to go for one or another, and it pays to put most of your eggs in one basket; but sometimes you have the opportunity to get "free" points of the opposite alignment, such as when there's no option that gives you preferred points, so it's either get opposite points or get nothing. Should I pursue these opportunities, will I get any benefits (e.g. some persuade/intimidate checks being easier than their counterparts or there not even being a counterpart option, being offered more missions) or disadvantages (e.g. people thinking I'm a bit of a bastard and changing their attitude in the long run, squad members denying their loyalty missions)?

How to handle Walker/Big Walker waves

I'm talking mostly about late wave situations on endless here. I usually start to have problems with this combination around wave 40 or so (casual difficulty, but playing solo). I've finally figured out how to handle some of the waves that have given me problems in the past - Walker/Tank, Walker/Soaker. To handle Walkers I usually get them to bunch up by walking backwards in front of them and alternating slows and grenades. With a couple of mortar towers that works well. If there are Chargers or Runners with them then the tactic works for those groups as well. Since the tactic for Tanks and Soakers is to keep them separated so that Lightning/Gatling/Scatter Laser towers hit all of them it throws things off, but I've found that if I just let the walkers get through the first turn or two of my maze before clumping them then they have enough of a lead on the slow moving Tanks or Soakers that they don't start to get bunched with them and I can finish off those guys at the end. The Big Walkers move faster than the Walkers though, so I can't use that tactic. Any suggestions? In typing this I'm thinking that I might be able to concentrate on the Big Walkers and then clump the Walkers **after** the Big Walkers are mostly dead, but I don't know if I'd be left with enough time to finish off the Walkers. Has anyone tried that tactic? Thanks!

Are scores stacked when playing with 2 people in Centipede?

Does Item luck from Feng Shui have any affect on when new items appear in Re-tail?

I don't actually sell any of my items on the flea market. I just go in to sell to Reese. Because my flea market is almost always empty, MOST of the time there is a new item being sold by a villager. I just use this item as one more item I have access to each day. As long as the flea market is not full very often the items continue to pile up until the store is full (I would assume). Which brings me to my question. I have only ever made it to 5 items 'piling up'. I had already owned all of them so I had left them there. But after 5 days new items stopped arriving. I don't remember the particular amount of days because I just figured the limit was 5. So I bought 1 item hoping that another would get filled in the next day but nothing did. So then I bought the last 4 to hopefully reset whatever the problem was and for a few more days still nothing showed up until one day there was another item finally. After this point they started arriving every day again. I don't know what I did differently. Now the past few days I have a single item in the shop that I am not interested in and 2 days one more item showed up (that I bought leaving only the 1) but the past 2 days no new items have arrived again. I would say it is just random but it was extremely consistent the first few weeks and even when it piled up to 5 they were 1 per day until they stopped. After they started up again they were also consistent up until now when they have stopped. My Feng Shui is rather terrible as I trip more often than I would like and my Money Rock has been rather paulty lately. Nothing I have found so far has suggested Feng Shui affects Re-tail but it's the only thing I can think of. EDIT: My Re-tail flea market items over almost a week.

How do I find the treasure in the Silent Church section of Aquan Ruins(3-5)?

Under similar circumstances as my Lava Pool treasure hunt, I find myself poking and stabbing at random enemies and objects in Chantelise, hoping to uncover another hidden treasure.

This is in reference to... > ...the hint for 3-4, "punish that trickster", where I simply had to jump on > all eight tombstones in the graveyard. However, in spite of knowing this, I don't really get what I'm supposed to be doing this time around. I've run around hitting random objects that seem out of place and killed each jellyfish individually, yet I don't seem to have found anything secret at all. How do I find this treasure?


Marvel Avengers Alliance (facebook) - Does the AI imitate the way you normally play?

In marvel avengers alliance (facebook version), does the PVP AI (defending team) imitate the way your normally play in normal combat?


What happens if you're defeated in an ambush?

The tutorial text describing the Mog Clock says that if you let the timer into the red, you're immediately forced into battle and _that if you lose that battle you don't get the retry option_. What actually happens in that case? In most games I would expect you to get kicked back to the title screen, but with autosaving (and being able to save manually almost anywhere) that doesn't seem like much of a punishment here, but it must do something bad or there would be no reason to implement this. I'm afraid to try, personally, without knowing what will happen.


What does an AP mid do to help achieve map visibility and maintain it?

So what is my role in getting the map visible and keeping it as an AP mid? Would I buy wards or would I let others buy them and put them up? what is my responsibility when it comes to map awareness?


What is the cost per level progression in the game?

I'm currently at 61 levels and my cost of building a new level is over 520K credits. Is there a fixed amount the cost goes up by or is it a progression? Admittedly I haven't been paying enough attention. Sometimes it seems to go up a few thousand, others 10s of thousands per level. I'm asking because I may want to complete all the imperial levels, and can't decide if it's worth doing earlier in the game because of cost. Or, is it worth building levels that generate more income due and will finance the construction of those levels later.


Is there a way to reorganize what slots bitizens are working in?

For example, my Jedi Jump Up has a level 9 dream job in the 1st slot, an 8 dream job in the 2nd and a 5 dream job in the last and most valuable slot. Or similarly, My Trianing Remotes has my one lvl 9 dream job in the first slot and the other slots are filled with regular lvl 9's but it would make sense to have the dream job 9's in the last slot(s) for double of the highest priced items. I've tried firing the entire staff and re-hiring in different orders but TDS puts them back in the same slots. Does TDS determine what slots bitizens works?


What factors affect the tiredness of the drivers in B-Specs?

The level of the driver increases the resistence of tiredness. I've heard that the type or power of car could affect too. Is it true? What other factors affect the tiredness of the drivers in B-Specs?


Do ESFs have different abilities?

As a member of the Vanu Sovereignty, I know that the Scythe has a speed- boosting ability, but it looks like the TR Mosquito has landing gear or something, which I don't seem to have. What's that do? I assume that the NC has a third?


Is there a way to assign damage to multiple defenders?

I have noticed that whenever the computer blocks with multiple defenders, the computer clearly decides which distribution of damage is most advantageous. It does not seem to matter what order I assign the defenders; no matter whether I assign them first, last, or in the middle, the damage will be assigned in such a way as to destroy my most important defender, leaving only the weakest defender if there isn't enough damage to destroy all of them. Is there a way that I can assign the damage to defenders in a similar fashion, when I am attacking? Because right now it seems to default to the least beneficial distribution for me when there is not enough damage to destroy all defenders (i.e. the weakest defenders are killed first, in rather an opposite fashion to what happens when I'm the defender). Is this biased both ways in favor of the computer, or is there a way for me to enable further control?


Is "Pledge to Protect" available in the original?

I was playing Civilization V when my friend told me of Pledging to Protect City-States. I don't have that button and would like to know why. I would get Gods and Kings but my friend's computer is better than mine and he runs that version very slow. I know the expansion has Pledging to Protect, but what about the original?

What's the most effective method of protecting your Trade Depot route?

I have a 3 wide hallway leading into my base up to the Trade Depot, in the book I was reading this is how I was told it would be accessible to caravans. However, this wide entry way is allowing monsters such as a recent group of Giant Flies to get in and interrupt my dwarves as they travel around doing various tasks. I assume that if I block off the entrance and put a door, the trade route would no longer be wide enough for a caravan. So how do I protect/secure the entrance yet still have it open for trader events?


Should I stop building a wonder if I find a rival is likely to beat me to it?

Let's say I'm currently building a world wonder, and through my spy I find out a rival civ is also building the same wonder, and are likely to complete it before me, even if I try to rush mine in a variety of ways. So getting the wonder is nearly hopeless. Should I just immediately cancel the construction and divert my production elsewhere, or should I keep constructing it for the gold reward? And if the answer is "depends", then under what conditions should I choose one way or the other?


How can I effectively use Zangief in SF 4 Volt for iPad?

I'd like to get better at using Zangief in Street Fighter 4 Volt. I'm particularly interested in strategies to counter various other players, and effective high damage combos. To be direct: countering teleporters, and ryu/chun-li vertical jump-kicks would be great. I'd also appreciate links to any resources you use in writing your answers, for further research.


Steam (Mac) game location

A few months ago, I restored my Mac from a Time Machine backup. Now, when I try to play a game on Steam (Civ 5 for example), Steam does not seem to be aware of the location of the game. I found the game on my hard drive, located at: `~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/sid meier's civilization v` I believe the game was previously referenced in `~/Applications/` If I open the `Civilization V.app` for the game, it bounces in the dock and disappears when I click it. Is there a way to restore Steam's memory of the location of the game?


Lost searching ability in Nethack

I'm prepping my lawful human valk for the midgame, just unloaded a bunch of extra items to my stash in Sokoban, completed Mine's End, and ID'ed a bunch of scrolls, potions, etc, without any negative effects that I noticed. Now, however, I've started going deeper into the dungeon, and I can't seem to find any hidden doors any more, and I know that some should be there (for instance, I found a 'Vlad was Here' tile and there has to be a door). I have Excalibur, a luckstone, and can't for the life of me figure out why my searching is now rendered useless...is there anything that could cause this?


What is the cost of movement on roads and railroads in Civilization 5?

The manual states (page 52): > As long as the unit moves from one tile containing a road/railroad into > another tile containing a road/railroad, the unit will expend just a > fraction of the normal cost to move. It doesn't say, however, what are the exact values of the fractions. Does moving along a road takes the underlying terrain into account? Is there any place these numbers are written?


Does grouping increase the drop rate for Demonic Organs on XBox 360?

Why do some players sometimes get double the amount of money after a mission?

Sometimes, some players get double the amount of money after a mission in GTA 5 online. What affects this amount of money? Is it randomly doubled? Or do I only get the doubled amount if I haven't played that mission ever before? And if I ever replay it, I only get the regular amount (respectively half the amount you get in comparison to the first time)?

New Game+ vs. Importing again: What will I lose?

I imported my Mass Effect 2 Shepard, which in turn was imported from Mass Effect. The obvious benefits of starting a New Game+ is that I'll keep my level from the end of Mass Effect 3, but I've been hearing that starting a new game+ with a character that was previously imported, will cause you to lose some of the benefits you got from importing your character. What exactly will I lose vs what I will gain from starting a new game+ The reason I ask is because levels don't matter so much to me, since by the time I finished ME3 I had all the skills I wanted.

I have to get combat engineer. Is there another way to earn them or enable badge earning in solo private?


How can I play the cutscenes outside of the game?

In the installation of the game there is a folder called `\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\Movies` which appears to contain all the cutscenes from the game in a file format `.bik`. Is there anyway to play these outside of the game, or at least without having to play the whole game up to that point to see them?


How do I prevent lag in the Nether?

So I visited the nether in the mod pack Big Dig, and now the game is literally unplayable for me. I get massive lag spikes, and I can't do anything. It is quite horrible. Is there a way of deleting the nether file out of my save so I could maybe prevent the lag? I was getting around 100fps before I went to the nether, and I had three quarries running, so I believe that deleting any recollection of going to the nether (besides items) should fix it. I have literally spent like five hours on this world and didn't go to the nether, because I never had to, and now I can't even play.


What are the resources that can be bought and sold on the global market, and how are the resources produced/consumed? In other words, for each resource, how does it enter the "sim world", and what are the uses for the resource?


What are "slots" in items?

Every equippable item in the game seems to have "slots". There are 3 symbols, and the ones I have seen so far are a circle or a dash. It looks like a circle is an open "slot" and a dash is the non-existence of a slot, but I can't be sure. What are these "slots" for?


Why can't I equip the "Hunter's Vest"?

I just made a "Hunter's Vest", but the game didn't ask me to automatically equip it. When I went to my stash to try to equip manually, I got this message. > Your Hunter Type can't use this equipment. What does that mean? Why can't I use the armor I just bought? Is there any way to tell when this will occur _before_ I craft something?

What does agility affect in Fallout New Vegas?

I've read a lot of conflicting information about what the agility SPECIAL stat does in the game. The factors it affects I've read, of which some are almost certainly false are the following:   * Total number of APs (Action points)   * Regeneration rate of APs   * Reloading speed   * Running speed   * Accuracy with weapons   * Weapon spread Is there any reliable data, maybe even quantitative, on what the effects of the agility stat really are? I could only find a lot of guesses, no hard data.

How do I change the language in Medal of Honor 2010 for PC?

I bought the retail **English** version of Medal of Honor 2010 (everything on the box is only English). When I installed the game, the installation was in French and when I start MoH, everything is French (dialogues, text, UI). I run Windows 7 Ultimate English but my keyboard and locales (date format, currency...) are French- Canadian. I guess the installer detects (badly) the language and then setup the game based on the detection. My problem is that you can't change the language from the UI of the game/installer. I used the live help from EA and the guy told me to uninstall, download the online installer and reinstall (what's the point of buying retail if I have to download 4+GB for the same game!?). I then opened a ticket and it got closed without any update from them (nice work EA). It took nearly an hour to install the game. I don't feel to uninstall/reinstall everything based on a wild guess. Anyone know a way (registry key, INI file entry, anything) to change the language in Medal of Honor 2010?


How long do burnt trees stay around?

So I started out my game in a forest biome, found a pig village with a Pig King, some spider nests nearby, plus a nice clump of berry bushes, and I figured I'd set up my base in that area. It seemed perfect. Unfortunately, tragedy struck. Or rather, lightning did. It was the night of Day 4, and I hadn't found enough gold for a lightning rod yet. ![lightning strike](http://i.stack.imgur.com/J0Avy.jpg) All I have left is a whole lot of this, and I think the fire's actually still going: ![burnt trees](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BfkiM.jpg) I'm trying to make some lemonade out of lemons here and look on the bright side: I have a crapload of charcoal now, right? But I don't know how long these burnt trees will stick around. I know that Ash will blow away/disintegrate very soon after it appears, but I don't know if burnt trees will do the same. Will these trees stick around indefinitely for me to harvest charcoal from as needed? Or will they eventually disappear if I don't grab it fast enough?


"Item Sets" are a really big improvement on League of Legends client, but the data is saved on the local disk. I want to backup my file/folder, so I can (hopefully) transfer my builds to other PCs.

Is there any way to stop wildfires?

Given that this happened, I'm wondering if there's anything you can do to stop a wildfire that's gone out of control. As far as I've played (which admittedly isn't very far), I've never found a way to carry around water or anything. Is there any way that I can stop a wildfire that's tearing through my forest biome or do I simply have to wait for it to run out of things to burn?


I can't let the iron flow out of my smeltery and my stencil table doesn't work!

I want to work with the smeltery, but everytime I burn iron it can't flow out of the seared faucet and when I try to stencil a pattern (kreativ-mode), the stencil table doesn't work. Is it a bug or has it something to do with my options?


Where can I find more lore behind Ashe and Tryndamere?

I have learned that Ashe and Tryndamere got married to bring their two tribes together in the limited lore that I was able to find. I am interested in learning why they needed to bring their tribes together and why Sejuani was against the joining of the tribes? Are there any place that offers additional lore that I can read? A wiki page or a specific journal of justice to read?


How do I get the @a player selector to work with the /effect command on a Bukkit server?

I'm trying to use the `/effect` command to play around with giving everyone on my server a jump boost. The problem is that I can't seem to get the `@a` player selector to work. Is this because I'm using Bukkit and not the vanilla server? I typed this command into the server console:               effect @a 8 60 5      and I got this message:               Player, @a, not found      I'm running Bukkit 1.7.2-R0.3 (#2975) with no plugins.

Can Yasuo's W also deny "beam-type" spells?

Suppose you play Xerath/Malzahar/Lux/etc. and shoot to the wall. Since it is said that it stops **projectiles** , will the wall still stop these "beam-type" spells? Also, assuming that Malzahar's ult can be denied, would he still be casting the spell or it gets cancelled ?


Why do the 2-star items have a "1" next to them?

How do I get to Zora's Domain?

I am stuck on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on 3DS. I am at Lake Hylia and there appears to be a temple under the lake. From what the owl said and online guides I'm supposed to play Zelda's Lullaby somewhere but I've tried loads of places all around the lake and got nothing so far. There is an island with a stone that says "When water fills the lake, shoot for the morning sun." I have tried shooting the slingshot between the two pillars, at the sun, and playing Zelda's Lullaby there. I'm just baffled because there is zero clues as to what to do next...


Cowering in terror from a wand of death

face here. _tee hee_ Anyway, I'm a level 13 Valkyrie trying to melee my way through Ft. Ludios so that I can level up enough to take on the Quest. So far, I've been doing well...I'm funneling all my enemies to me one at a time into the room where the magic portal dumps you, and I am standing so that I can't have anything thrown/zapped at me other than by the person immediately attacking me. The problem is that I currently don't have any sort of magic reflection (expecting to get that after the Quest with the Orb...), and I'd like to churn through all these warm bodies to level up a bit quicker. Is there a good way to combat a soldier with the Wand of Death who is making my life currently miserable? Fortunately I made a backup of my save file before entering the fort, so I can go back and try different possibilities for getting past him.

How can I play Minecraft through a proxy server?

There are many people that are forced to use a proxy, be it students in shared accommodation or school staff. Following the blog of The Minecraft Teacher I've realised that Minecraft _could_ be used for educational purposes, but most schools have a proxy. I've so far found that moving the `minecraft.exe` into the `%appdata%/bin` folder and creating a batch file with this in _should_ work:               java -Dhttp.proxyHost=hostURL -Dhttp.proxyPort=hostPort -Xmx800m -jar Minecraft.exe        ... although I've so far been unable to get this to work.

How cost effective is Recall

So this is a decision I often have to make, is it faster to run back to base or Recall? For those unaware recall is a 8 second cast time before instantly being transported back to base; thus we can rephrase this question as: " **When are you 8 seconds of running time away from the fountain?** " This rephrasing allows us to realize that there is a parameter here: Hero speed. Thus for me to make this decision, ideally I'd like to know the 8 second distance for a couple common speeds to use as rules of thumb. Specifically:   * 300   * 350   * 400   * 450   * 500 Preferably this would be a picture for easy reference.


Can I dismantle a table to recover (some of) its wood?

I'm playing my first-ever game of Dwarf Fortress and chose to embark in a relatively calm area of the word, even though it's only sparsely forested. Being a Minecraft player as well, I overestimated the reforestation rate and burned through a fair amount of my now-precious wood making tables for my dining hall before realizing I could make them out of stone instead. Now, I have no wood with which to make more beds, chairs, and so forth. (My first Fun!) Is there any way to dismantle these tables so that I can make a few vital wooden supplies to tide me over until the saplings grow?


How much does the resolution affect performance?

If you take a generic game and change resolution to 640 x 480, 1280 x 1024 and 1920 x 1080 respectively, how heavily would this affect performance? Is resolution an important factor or rather neglectible when trying to find perfect settings for a non-high-end graphics-card?

Which parts of the Story mode, will successfully doing a 'stealth kill' with a silenced weapon affect gameplay?

I've observed that when you kill the first group of enemies you meet in Chapter 5, with the default silenced pistol and without any enemy being able to fire a shot, enemies won't be alerted to your location and Max Payne will comment on the stealth kill. (I'm not sure if not doing a stealth kill will change how this part plays out, though [like enemies being alerted and immediately attacking at that part if a non-silenced weapon was fired]). However, it seems that this doesn't seem to be the case with the next group and the rest of the enemies you will encounter in that chapter. It doesn't seem to matter if it is a stealth kill with a silenced weapon or if you use non-silenced weapons - all the enemies in the level will seem to be alerted to your presence if you engage in a gunfight with any enemy. This leads me to believe that the 'silencer' of a weapon does not really matter that much in most parts of the game. Hence, my question: **Which parts of the game's Story mode, will successfully doing a 'stealth kill' with a silenced weapon affect gameplay?** (i.e. Max Payne commenting on the stealth kill, enemies not being alerted to your location or other gameplay changes)

Madred's Bloodrazor on Riven

Normally you should play Riven totally on AD ( since all her Spells stack with AD ). But I was just wondering - when I play vs a tanky team with many HP ( Warmogs and stuff ) I usually go for Madred's Bloodrazor when I play AD Carry ( e.g. Ashe ), because of the 4% Dmg from the max. health. Now my question is - would it be reasonable to go for Madred's Bloodrazor with Riven too? Because normally you wouldn't try to get Rivens Attack Speed up... If no Bloodrazor, what would be another option for her against targets with much HP ?


What is PSR and how does it work?

I know those points are tied to ranked matches as you cannot earn then by playing player matches only. Still, sometimes I will earn between 4-6 when defeating opponents and lose between 0-2 in the opposite case. Is there any word on how the system works specifically? Also, what does it even stand for?


What is a good PvP Horde race for Warlocks in World of Warcraft?

Where to look for the current patch version installed?

I was reading the Masseffect.wikia Planet Scanning article and found this tip: > Patch your game. Before you begin mining, make sure that you have patch 1.02 > or higher as it reduces the time required for mining by providing a larger > scan area. I did not find the current version number anywhere in the game setting, where should I look? By the way, I bought the game on Steam, I thought it is supposed to be patched automatically, isn't it?


How can I transfer data from one Xbox 360 slim to another slim?

I'm thinking about getting the Gears of War 3 limited edition console and I already have one of the new 360 S consoles. How can I transfer my data between the two? I checked Google and couldn't find any new hard drive transfer cables, just the old ones. Normally I would just swap the hard drives but the Gears one comes with a 320 GB and I want to take advantage of the increased capacity. I **really** don't want to move all the data with a 16 or 32 GB thumb drive, it would take forever. In theory, I should be able to just hook the two hard drives up to my PC (they have standard SATA connectors) and use Clonezilla. Has anyone tested this? Any ideas for how to simplify this process are welcome.


Permanent weapon glow effects in Rift?

In the "Waves of Madness" world event you can get a "Vial of abyssal water" that adds a glow effect to your weapon. Like most special items in Rift the item description is less than helpfull and they forgot to mention that it's limited to 24 hours. Are there any way of obtaining a permanent weapon glow effect in Rift? **Update:** In later world events, at the moment "Planar Menace", it is possible to buy epic quality item Endless Overgrowth Oil that is bound to account and have infinite charges, that give a 24 hour weapon glow effect. That is 24 hours game time, so in practice it will last for several days or weeks. And when it runs out it can be renewed infinitely for all your alts on that account. That is good enough for me ^^


How do you install Diablo III before purchasing a license?

Why should I hatch Tallbird eggs?

From what I know, newborn Tallbirds are very weak, get hungry all the time and follow player everywhere, making it hard to keep them alive. And after they grow into adult Tallbirds, they become hostile towards player. It also doesn't seem like they will create a nest to spawn eggs in, so it seems kind of useless and effortsome to hatch the eggs at the cost of a nice dinner. If killed, a Tallbird drops 2 meats, and while a normal Tallbird will respawn in 2.5 days, it takes a lot more to grow one from an egg. In comparison, pigs have 250 HP and do 33 dmg, don't need food (unless you want them to follow you around). Smallish Tallbirds have 300 HP and do 50 dmg, but they require 60 food per day, each, which can be a nuisance. Pigs are better for this follower role, because they're ready to fight right off the bat, no need to wait 11 days. Why would I want to spend so much time and resources to hatch a Tallbird egg?


Alter railroad production boost via rules.txt

I generally enjoy altering some of the variables in Civilization II's "rules.txt" to give a variety to gameplay. Of particular note is production: to speed up the game a little, I tend to tweak some production values a little higher. I know that a Railroad will provide certain terrains an additional shield, but I can't seem to find this value anywhere (to potentially bump it up to two shields). Is it configurable somewhere? Or is it simply baked into the game.

Battlefield 4 brings back spotting; press RB or Q with an enemy in your sights and he's spotted for your whole team to see. Spotting wins games! It also comes very cheap, it doesn't really slow you down or cost you anything. So I tend to spam spot a lot. Does spotting have a cooldown and if so, what is it? Is there anything from preventing me from spotting 60 times a second? If there's a cooldown is it different after a successful spot vs a failed spot? Is there any way to measure the cooldown precisely? I've tried testing it various ways and can't really figure it out; it kind of feels to me like maybe there's a 1s cooldown only after a successful spot. Battlefield 3 is generally assumed to have a spotting cooldown although I've never seen a source for exactly how long it was. The StackExchange discussion and this other one both mention BF3 made a noise if you try to spot during the cooldown. I don't think that noise is in BF4.


Powering Electrical Engine with Tin Cable

According to the Feed the Beast Wiki article, Electrical Engines take 6 EU/t and output 2 MJ/t. Since I'm powering a forestry machine outside of my main power station, I wanted to use efficient cabling to transfer power to the engines. So I thought I'd use Tin Cable because it's much cheaper than Glass Fibre Cable. However, Tin Cable can only withstand 5 EU/t; no problem, just upgrade my Electrical Engines with a Small Curcuit Board containing an Iron Electron Tube, which reduces the power required by 1 EU/t. So I built two Electric Engines, and gave them both a Small Curcuit Board upgrade with Iron Electron Tube. I connected them to a Logger and Arboretum, and then wired up some Tin Cable from an LV transformer pulling off of my main power storage. As soon as I placed the last cable, the whole cable exploded and disappeared! Isn't the EU/t based on what is being requested on the far end, which should be 5 EU/t? Why can't I use Tin Cable in this situation?

Can't level up after level-50 in borderlands 2 in True vault hunter mode

I am currently playing the Borderlands 2 game in True vault hunter mode. I am at 50th level. I have observed that I am no more being leveled up by killing enemies or by completing missions. What could be the reason? Thanks


Why can't I complete the Rangfust puzzle in the Time Machine level?

In the "Time Machine" level, I reach a point in the level where I am supposed to: > Move a boulder in the past, to create a well in the present. I have watched videos which show how to do this, and yet I can't do it myself. For reference I am currently playing with the Scientist, Twins, and Time Traveler. It seems like when I switch between characters my character in the past may be dying (as in the "poof" that occurs when the environment kills them), but I can't see how. I am also playing on XBox 360 if that helps.


How can I play Indiana Jones: The Infernal Machine on Windows 8?

Due to it being designed for prehistoric computers I can't run it on my windows 8 laptop. How can I go about making it run on a current operating system? EDIT: To avoid any confusion, the game can boot normaly, but after 4 or so minutes after opening it, it starts gliching, and bugging to the point where it hangs and then crashes.


Can you make a turret change targets?

I guess you can't but I'm not quite sure. Say it attacks an ally at low health and they can't get out of range in time, is there any way to make the turret hit you instead (if no minions are around)?


Do i need a seperate Memory Stick Pro to access a different Playstation Store on PSP

Black Rock Shooter is out however despite the fact that it's released on US and UK Playstation Network Stores it's not available in Australia, I messaged NISA and they repplied > I regret to inform you that Black Rock Shooter: The Game is not available as > an Australian SKU. This is due to licensing restrictions coming from Japan. this means i am now forced to get the game from another store, i know with the PSVita, the memory card you use gets locked to the store you open it with which in my case an Australian one For a PSP however, i already have a memory card which i logged into my Australian PSN Account with which is my main card, i'm wondering if i need to use a separate card to access the UK Playstation Network Store cause with the PS3, you can't access 2 accounts on 1 profile, you have to create another profile in order to access another account (which is why i have 3, my main one, one for the UK STore and one for the US Store) and the PSP doesn't have the functionality to create different profiles on it


Can I play Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt without the 'Bee nerf' update?

I stopped playing `Borderlands 2` on-line after downloading and installing `Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage`; last I played my game version was still pre-'bee nerf' patch. I haven't played on-line since then as I cannot get internet on my PS3 in my dorm room. As I have the Borderlands 2 Season Pass, can I download and install (and play) `Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt` without first updating to the newest patch? I'm only interesting in the technical possibility, not whether or not I should install the 'bee-patch'.


How do you see your horse's health in Skyrim?

How do I effectively fight Brutes?

I have only been playing for 3 hours and the brutes are really making it difficult. I get surrounded by 10+ normal gang members and then a brute turns up. I can't ram the brutes in a vehicle and I seem to run out of ammo before being able to do much damage. Is there a good strategy for fighting them? Is it simply a case of waiting until I have more upgrades? Playing the game on normal difficulty.


How do I stop feeding the wild animals?

In the latest version of Towns (v9) a few changes seem to have been made in the way harvesting is handled. I've tilled a nice 5x10 plot of land and assigned it to wheat farming, but so far only 14 squares of it have been planted -- and every time one of them pops wheat, a nearby townie harvests it and feeds it to a random wild animal rather than finish planting the field. Because of this, I'm perennially short on wheat; is there any way to tell my townies to stop feeding the damn animals and plant the wheat instead?


Which support gems affect the Arc skill?

Unbinarize .sii files

Is there a way I can unbinarize the .sii files that are used for savegames in Euro Truck Simulator 2? I'd like to do this to edit my savegames. You could do this in previous SCS games because they weren't binarized (as far as I know), but they are now.


How fast does Galactic Readiness decay?

I've read that the Galactic Readiness, the multiplicator you get for the multiplayer part of Mass Effect 3, decays in real time.

Is there any way to get more workers?

I find I have lots of money to build floors, and I have bux out the wazoo for upgrades and stuff, but I am lacking in people to actually work at my businesses. So far it just seems like I have to watch and wait for a worker to arrive in the lobby, but is there any other way I can get workers?


In the Aria: Eclipse mission, what can I do besides releasing that crazy woman from jail?

I talked to the Eclipse leader in the C-Sec office in the Presidium Commons, but she does indeed sound very dangerous, so I chose to find another solution.

How do I create a safe nuclear reactor?

Why do I want to make a nuclear reactor? Because they're awesome. They are a good source of EU. However, my first reactor did not end up well, and I need to learn how to create a safe one without it blowing up my house. What is a breeder reactor and how is it different from a nuclear reactor? Additionally, how can I make a safe nuclear reactor that won't explode? EDIT: I think this picture speaks for itself. ![Nuclear Reactor explosion](http://i.stack.imgur.com/PgjyV.png)


Are there any visual indicators that tell a player they are about to earn Experience Points?

How do I get to the objective in chapter 12?

I have reached chapter 12 "Trauma" in Hotline Miami, which is in the hospital. I believe this is the stealth level that has been mentioned by various reviews. I can see what I think is the objective of the level in the top left corner of the map: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7qrqY.jpg) I've managed to sneak to the door that is visible on the right hand side of the screenshot, however, the door appears to be broken or locked, so I can't get across the corridor.

Downloadable Content - Slingshot Pack and Elite Soldier Pack

I've completed XCOM today and I've enjoyed the experience a lot. It took me quite a while to finish it, but I managed to finish it in normal mode. I'm now looking at the downloadable content packs. Are these content packs bolt-ons to the main game, or are they totally separate. What I mean is, do I have to start the game and base again, or are these packs totally separate from the main thread of the game?

Mods in single- and multi-player

I have a question about mods for Minecraft. I fumbled on the internet recently and I liked a few of them and I would like to play with them a little bit, but there is one thing that bothers me. The person with whom I play multiplayer via Hamachi wanted to stay with the regular version and did not upload anything. What would happen if I have uploaded myself a mod that changes something in the game, and my friend does not? I would like to play in our shared world as usual (without mods) but when I create a new world for the single player I want the mods to work. Is this possible?

Is this a glitch or a problem with my computer?

I installed XCom a while ago and something horrible happened. When I changed my point of view by pressing the Q button, and then I move one of my soldiers, my screen froze and I had to force-shut-it-down in order to allow it to recover. I have been using this same computer for the past year and this never happened before.


How can I activate buttons or open and close things without reloading?

Each time I activate something such as a button or open or close a crate, my character will reload if the current gun doesn't have a full clip. This is because on Playstation consoles the square button for activating the item is the same as the reload button. Is this a bug or am I pressing it for an incorrect interval?


What are all the zone bosses?

I know some zones have "zone bosses" that provides quite an epic fight as well as a reward chest at the end of the event. Sunless, Shatterer and Claw of Jormag are the three i know of. Does anyone have a more complete list of zones and their bosses?


Can I improve the performance of Shank 2?

I got Shank 2 through Humble Bundle, and the performance is pretty awful. Have any patches been released? Shank 1 had a similar problem that was helped by a patch posted on Icculus (but not shown on the main HB site, or the support site - or anywhere else, AFAIK). Yes, I'm on integrated graphics, and yes, I know that what goes for Shank 1 does not necessarily go for Shank 2, but still ... Patch did help for 1, so I'm hopeful.


Do spies get damage resistance when cloaked?

I've noticed often that as a Dead Ringer spy, when I'm cloaked, damage that should kill me instead doesn't, and often I'm left with enough health to get to a nearby health kit. That being said, is this something in the code I don't know about? Does being cloaked using any watch give you damage resistance?


While wielding my first weapon set, will the gems from my second weapon set level up at the same rate?

I think that _all_ gems receive 10% of each amount of EXP your gain. But on the same wiki's page, you can read: > Gems gain experience and levels alongside the character **wearing** them. And I've got the feeling that gems on my second weapon set (which I rarely use) don't level up as fast as the ones on my first weapon set... Any clue ?


How to spot effectively?

I've only been playing for a couple weeks, but I feel like I have a good grasp on the basic mechanics of the game, as well on the gameplay in general. However, one concept continually dumbfounds me: spotting. All of my attempts to play a scout/spotter, or even just a lookout, end in disaster, often with me being destroyed by enemies I can't even see. Other times, when playing non- scout tanks, I believe myself to be well-concealed only to suddenly encounter a hailstorm of enemy fire coming from seemingly nowhere. I'm sure I'm missing something. I have thoroughly read this page on the subject and have tried to adjust my playstyle accordingly, but still find myself out-spotted in nearly every circumstance, excepting only when I use solid cover and do not move - effectively, when I hide like a little girl - and even that seems to be hit-and-miss. Are the high-credit-priced additional equipment items required for effective scouting/spotting purposes? Does everyone run camo nets and binocs, even at tier II? Or is there a mechanic I am missing? My ideal answer would include someone breaking it down bit by bit, complete with example if possible. EDIT: Players in-game have told me that a player parked in bushes does NOT receive the same penalty to sight range as a player who is in the open would to see him. I.e. two identical tanks, one in bushes and one not, would not have the same effective view range. Is this true? The Wiki makes no mention of it, but it would explain many of my problems.

Why does my GBA emulator run slow on my i7 iMac?

I have a Game Boy Advance emulator (Visual Boy Advance) on my iMac (specs below), and it has an extremely choppy frame rate. Gameboid on my Droid X however runs smooth as silk. What gives?

Diablo 3 Updates?

How do Diablo 3 updates work? I was just playing, and read on a forum that there was an update, so I restarted the game and it began updating, my question is, if I never close the game, do I never get the updates? What happens then to multiplayer games? Only players who haven't updated can play games together? Or how does that work exactly? Because I was never kicked out of battle.net (like I was used to in retail Starcraft a good 10 years ago)

How do I get a heat sticker to the next level from Snow Rise?

Can I construct a citadel next to the borders of a city state?

How can I quickly reduce my realm size?

Related to how to find out how big an opponent is, I just found out that I'm the biggest kid on the block: my realm is bigger than even the Holy Roman Empire, so I can't invade _anybody_. But my realm size is only about 20 bigger than the HRE; how can I quickly reduce my realm size so that I qualify for an invasion? Bonus points if I can quickly "recover" any bits of the realm that I lose.


How is money and score calculated in Zombieville USA 2?

I repeatedly do the same levels over again and sometimes I get around $400 and other times I get $190. I currently have the Daddy Warbucks perk maxed to 5 stars but it doesn't seem to make that much of a difference. I'm unsure with how the game scores kills and distance and I would like to know how this is calculated.


Do all Pokemon B/W Wifi features work with WPA2?

I've learned that original (and Lite) Nintendo DS systems do not support WPA/WPA2 Wifi encryption, but the newer hardware (DSi, 3DS) does. I've also learned that this only applies to newer games, and that older games require WEP, even on newer systems. Finally, I've learned that Pokemon Black and White **do** , nominally, support WPA2 encryption. However, I've had a few sources tell me that this only applies to a subset of features, and to battle or trade over Nintendo WFC I'll have to fall back to WEP. Can someone either confirm that this is the case and tell me what I won't be able to do over WPA2, or set me straight and confirm (via experience, please) that **everything** works over WPA2? Sadly I don't have a DSi or I'd puzzle this out myself, but this is a deciding factor in whether I get a 3DS at launch or not. Thanks!

What do the characters levels mean?

I wonder how the levels of the characters works. In other words, how do we increase the level of a character? Is that in term of high bolt, hero bolt, creatures and/or weapons/improvements?


What is shared across hardcore characters in my account?

I just created a new character and I noticed he has 10k of gold, by going into the AH, without even logging on. Are items collected by any of my HC characters kept in my account's stash in case I die? Is the same true for gold or is this some kind of bug? This is quite important since all that's with the character is lost when he dies. Also, what of artisans' progress?


Consequences of blowing up stations

I'm curious about the consequences, or the actual reputation loss, of blowing up a NPC station. Let's say a SPP XL or a Cattle Ranch L. I started as Humble Merchant, so its a little difficult for me to experiment since I literally have zero firepower in my fleet. And I really want to wipe a couple of stations to create a local monopoly on some wares. Since I can't check out the answers in my game anytime soon, I'll mark the answer which has reliable links or personal screenshots.

I'm not used enough to Ghost and Raven

A 1/1/1 Terran player has Ghost and Raven easily available to him, but I'm barely using them... How can I best practice to get used to them? Should I build Ghosts a few matches and Raven a few? What should be my (natural) reflex to decide to build those units? And when should I use what ability?


What's the difference between the 'oriental market building' and the regular 'small market building'?

When one starts an oriental island you can begin placing **Oriental Market Buildings** , which function like the Occidental **Small market building**. The biggest difference I can tell is that the Oriental Market Building costs more and you can't upgrade it. What is the difference between the two? When do you use one or the other?


How is the Selenitic Age solvable in Myst?

Warning: Contains spoilers! In the Selenitic Age, while you are going through the maze to get back to Myst Island, and you use the "directional sounds" to figure out which way to go through the maze. However, these sounds are taught to the player in the Mechanical Age. It's entirely reasonable that one would visit the Selenitic Age, and therefore wouldn't have been able to learn the sounds which indicate direction beforehand. Therefore, it would be unreasonable if there was not also some indication in the Selenitic Age of which noise points in which direction. However, I cannot seem to find it. Where is it? :)

What happens when I teach a set item recipe to the blacksmith?

In Diablo 3, I found a legendary set recipe called "Aughild's Treasured". ![Screenshot that highlights the blacksmith plan for Aughild's Treasured](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gNCKQ.jpg) I haven't decided what to do with this item, because I'm not sure what will happen when I teach it to the blacksmith. Will all four items in the set become available for crafting? Will I be able to craft the set items indefinitely or is it a one-time use recipe? Basically, how does crafting work for legendary set recipes?

Why is my Wii U having massive fits of controller lag?

I bought a new Wii U a few months ago. I most often play Mario Kart Wii (in Wii mode) and have been noticing an increasing amount of fits of controller lag. I know that the Wii isn't known for lagless controllers, but this isn't typical .1 or .2 second lag for all input. We'll be playing fine for twenty minutes, then all of a sudden the Wii will have one of these "fits" where _all_ controller input lags and becomes extremely choppy. Pausing the game and waving the Wiimote slowly in front of the TV reveals that the Wii is picking up inputs only 3 or 4 times a second. (i.e., the hand icon stands still and _jumps_ back and forth: choppy.) Resyncing/resetting the Wii U stops the problem, as does waiting it out sometimes, but it makes many games completely unplayable when you suddenly lose control. What can I do to fix this broken Wii U?


What is that shadow in Blight Town?

Looking down at the sewer like area (in front of the spinning wheel), close to where you find the second fire keeper soul guarded by those "fire dogs", you can see a lurking shadow with a moving tail. If you move to the platform the shadow is nowhere to be seen. It is only visible if you look down on this area. What is this shadow, a graphic glitch? _edit_ ![Shadow is below the glowing message. Upwards in the image one can find the Fire Keeper soul.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Nbdag.jpg)


Scaling weapon or elemental weapon?

In my experience I find that opponents with elemental weapons fares way better towards me (I'm lvl 61, using a +5 Channeler's trident with 50 INT) than those that don't. Is it better to have a scaling B, A or S rank weapon and pump levels into needed stat or have an elemental (fire or elemental) weapon when doing pvp? How about Chaos weapons, is it worth farming up to 99 humanity?


Conjuration Archer + Enchanting or Alchemy or Smithing

I am leveling a conjuration sneaky archer (Sneak + bound bow + summons if needed). Two questions:   1. Is Bound Bow (with conjuration perks + archer perks) better than Daedric Bow (with archer perks)? Consider that Bound Bow cannot be enchanted, but poisons do work.   2. Which one should I level to help me the most with this build: Alchemy, Enchanting or Smithing? How do I benefit from each skill as a Conjuration Sneak Archer? By the way, I'm level 36, and with 2.0x sneak bonus only (I don't have 3.0x yet) I can one-shot most mobs with Bound Bow + Quick Casting (to avoid beeing caught) + Conjuration perk that increases Bound Weapons' damage.


How do I remove this Elder Scroll from my inventory?

In the quest Discerning the Transmundane I received an Elder Scroll. This is great and all, and who doesn't want to own an Elder Scroll, but the problem is that it weighs 20 (pounds? kilos? I'm not sure) and is marked as a quest item, causing me to be unable to store it in a chest etc. Is there a way to make it unmarked as a quest item, giving me the ability to keep it but store it away? If not, is there a way to get rid of it without using the console (I'll use the console if I have to, but I'd rather not).


Where can I get Cerebral Accelerators?

I am planning on activating a new account and have read about items called Cerebral Accelerators - in fact, there is a page for them on the EVE Online wiki detailing the performance gains they give for new characters during the training process in their initial weeks, but I can't seem to find anywhere that I can get them from. I'm pretty sure they're still in game on account of them being mentioned as one of the bonuses of the Amarr starter pack on sale on EVE, but I don't see any listed on EVE Central. Where can I get Cerebral Accelerators?


How do I switch to the new Steam version of Company of Heroes without downloading the entire game again?

I already have Company of Heroes on Steam. Since the game is switching over to Steamworks for its multiplayer component sometime in May, a "New Steam Version" of the game has appeared beside the original. ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/waEqA.png) Unfortunately when I try to install it Steam appears to require me to reinstall the game ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/RHjfj.png) Is there any way I can avoid having to download 9GB of game data all over again?


Does ingress have offline mode?

I just gotten Ingress for 2 minutes now and already i'm facing a problem. I'm a pre-paid user and that means i don't have internet where i go except for Wi- fi locations.

Can't train up 'Restoration' for some reason

I found that once I hit 'Master' status with my restoration spells it was easier to just fork out gold and train it up 5 times with each time that I leveled. I know for certain that I'd done this with two of my character levels (ie - I'd go to the restoration trainer and train my restoration skill 5 times - the max). Anyway, so I hit level 90 in restoration, and I wanted to be sure that I'd trained it up 5 times before I leveled my character again, so I went to the master restoration trainer (I forget her name) in Whiterun. But for some reason she didn't have the chat option visible to let me train up with her. I could only assume that it had something to do with hitting 90 (like some sort of cap on paying gold to train up). Is this the case? Once you hit 90 can you no longer train up a skill?

What are the rules of settling?

I'm pretty new to Civilization, but I'm getting the hang of the rules I think. Recently, I had a settler and was going to have him create a city in this narrow strip land, but was told I couldn't settle a city within 4 spaces of another city. I interpreted that as "not within 4 spaces of the boundary of ANY city (even other players)... but I think I got that wrong because Russia just settled a city right on my border... so can anyone explain what specifically is meant by this rule? Also, is there anyway to stop Russia's settler without going to war with them?

Increase dialogue font size?

I'm playing X Rebirth, but I find the dialogue and mission text size too small to read without squinting and hunching towards my computer monitor. I've looked in the game options but can find anything relating to interface sizes. Here's an example highlighting the area I'm having difficulty with. ![Red freehand circle](http://i.stack.imgur.com/J8vFH.jpg) Is there a way to increase the text size in the game, particularly in the dialogue choices/menus?


Why is my Alchemical Bag not opening?

Whenever I attempt to open the Alchemical Bag it won't open. I've re-installed the game and Googled for similar issues but haven't found anything. I used NEI to acquire it while my wife said she acquired it without cheats and she wasn't able to use it either. I want to think it's because I haven't met a certain requirement yet. Why is the Alchemical Bag not opening? Any knowledge on what is happening would be much appreciated.
