What type of strategy game is this? You rearrange positions?

What do you call games where you have to move and re-arrange cars or boxes to move a goal box into a location. There have been games like this since Atari, as far as I know. It's some kind of tactical game. I can maybe draw an example, as a kind of flow chart: 1.               Goal Block Item     xxxx       xxxx      2.               Goal       Item     xxxx Block xxxx      3.               Goal Item  <--     xxxx Block xxxx      4.               WIN  <---------     xxxx Block xxxx      If you possibly know the first game of this kind, I would be interested in that, or any game names. If you add pictures or media or links to the same, that would be useful.


High Overseer Campbell Meeting Objective Bugged?

I'm playing the High Overseer Campbell mission. I've made it to the meeting room without being detected, but every time I enter the room, without exception, Campbell and guy I'm trying to save instantly cut off their conversation, Campbell shouts "I'll find you!", and then both of them run out of the room. What gives? I've reloaded several times from different save locations. This seems to happen no matter what I do. Is this intended behavior? (I can't imagine it is). **What can I do to prevent High Overseer Campbell from running out of the meeting room immediately after I enter it? Is this a bug?**


What happens if Slackjaw is killed in Mission 3?

For the heck of it, after playing through Dishonored with a (nearly) no-kill philosophy, I started a second playthrough of the game, being as ridiculously violent as possible. Therefore, when I got to the Distillery, I cut down all the thugs, _including_ Slackjaw. Apparently that's possible. This begs the question... what's going to happen in Mission 7? He's supposed to show up as Granny Rags' prisoner. Does anybody know if the game takes this into account?


When should I choose +health modifiers over +armor modifiers and vice versa?

I sometimes find myself facing a tough decision between a piece of armor that offers +10 to armor and a piece that offers +50 to health. The +50 health is great, but will that +10 armor ultimately save 50 health or more in the long run? Is there a way to calculate at least a semi-accurate figure to help determine which is the better modifier?


Can custom maps in Starcraft 2 automatically enable certain unit upgrades?

If I create a custom map with the Starcraft 2 map editor, how can I specify that some unit upgrades are already researched? For example, if I want all the units to already have the weapons upgrade 1 at the beginning of the game, can I specify this in the editor? I've looked through the menus but didn't find anything that looked like it would relate to unit upgrades.


What's the penalty for dying in Bioshock 2?

I know I I get sent back to a Vita-Chamber. But does anything else bad happen? If not, it seems like when you're near one, you're better off dying than using a first aid kit. I feel like that's probably not correct. Is dying really so painless?


How do I get the lava in my lava fountain to flow?

I am on a multiplayer server and am trying to create a lava fountain in front of my door. I have it enclosed in an area so the lava won't block any routes. The only problem is that I can't get the lava to flow. I've been told that I just need to put a bucket on top of a block and it should start flowing if I've got a step layout going down around the lava, but it doesn't work, the lava just disappears. Please let me know if I need multiple buckets or am missing something. Thank you.

Can Mike the Cowboy survive Part 1 Chapter 2?

When you come to Vlad's help in Part I, Chapter 2, you will meet up with Tommy the Cowboy. In my past playthroughs this guy always died at least when the final assault took place just before getting to Vlad. So I was wondering:   1. Is it possible for Tommy the Cowboy to survive?   2. If it is possible, is this recognized by the game either by character reaction or bonus?


Is there a way to move my Steam games to a new Xbox 360?

I recently got a new Xbox 360 and I was wondering if there is a way to move my Steam games (specifically Assassins Creed, Half-Life, Portal) to the Xbox hard drive. Perhaps I could redeem them for a hard copy somehow?


What's the difference between Bilinear, Trilinear, and Anisotropic texture filtering?

Independence War 1 & 2 story considerations?

Do I need to know anything about the plot of Independence War to enjoy IW2? I'm about to play the latter for the first time and have never played the former...


How are cross-linear abilities positioned through smartcast?

By cross-linear i mean abilities like anivia's ice wall,Karthuses purple slow thing and Jayce's acceleration gate. Like this: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jyZCY.png) I've been wondering how exactly do these abilities position themselves in perspective of where you click as there is no line indication of your ability. Also is there anyway to control the position of these abilities through smartcast?


How are imperial product prices calculated?

I recently noticed a huge increase in the price of the Combat droid in the Imperial Lab. It happened over the night after completing one. It jumped from a little more than 1 hour (around 1200 credits) to complete to 5 hours and 11000 credits! It is very annoying because the imperial missions that were active at that time require a ton of those. The reward will not cover the costs (by a long shot). What could have caused this huge increase?


Is there a way to end a turn immediately, without moving all units?

In Civilization IV (and earlier) you could end a turn not having moved/actioned all of your available units. For example, if you want to leave some units in place for a turn or two, without having to explicitly tell them they have no orders - simply by clicking a button in the UI. In V, it now insists that 'A unit has still to move' and I have to explicitly tell it to do nothing. I couldn't see a means of telling the game to end the turn immediately - is there one?


Is there any other uses for "Clear Sky"?

During Skyrim you're given the 3 words and knowledge to perform the shout " _Clear Sky_ " which is required to reach the _Throat of the World_ where Paarthurnax is. The shout is used in this part to clear away the fog which saps at your health but i am wondering, outside of this can Clear Sky be used for anything else, i've tried shouting at the sky when it was raining at Riverwood but it didn't do anything (apart from making me look like an idiot and embarrassing my wife Lydia)


How can I get Shadowmere back after riding another horse?

During one of the imperial attacks on a stormcloak fort, I accidentally picked up a new horse. This caused Shadowmere to disappear (he had wandered off during the fighting) and I've been unable to find him. I've checked both sanctuaries, no luck there, and I've killed the new horse and waited a while. No shadowmere. I've lost Shadowmere - where can I find her? I've found this answer, but the difference is that I'm not sure where I got the new horse. I can't use commands since I'm on xbox. Any tips, or will I have to say goodbye to my favorite destruction trainee?

Do the notes scattered through levels serve any purpose?

Strangely, I've been finding Artyom's current thoughts written down in places he's never been to. Ignoring how ridiculous that is, does finding these notes serve any purpose other than enriching the story?


Where's the locked chest with a Ranger's gun in chapter 5?

After a brief reunion with Pavel in chapter 5, you can hear two guards talking about one of them having a locked chest with a heavily-modified weapon that once belonged to a Ranger. Where can I find that chest, and do I need to do something special to be able to open it?


What is the significance of screen flashes?

In Metro 2033 the screen would flash when you did something humane, such as giving money to the poor or strumming a guitar, and you would get a special (non-canon) ending if your humanity was high enough. So far I've had a few flashes in Metro Last Light. The actions that seemed to trigger them were strumming a guitar (the game is nothing if not original), listening to the armory officer (why?), killing a Nazi as he was getting up from his cot and killing a whimpering Nazi that called his mother "easy" (not a direct quote). While there is absolutely nothing wrong with killing Nazis, whimpering or not, the flash I saw after killing him seemed slightly different, and I, strangely, haven't seen a flash _every_ time I killed a Nazi. Is the game now tracking actions it considers inhumane as well as humane? Is there an effect on gameplay or story depending on your humanity score? If the flashes I was getting are indeed for inhumane behavior, is there a way for me to know whether an action I am about to perform is going to be inhumane?


How to unlock Proficient Level

What are the strengths and weaknesses of each follower?

I've been playing mostly multiplayer so far, so I haven't had much experience with using followers. But now that I started a new character that I will be playing solo, I will surely need a follower to keep my squishy self out of harm's way. This has got me wondering: Which follower should I choose? **What are the strengths and weaknesses of each of the followers?** **Which followers would you suggest for each of the character classes, and why?**


Best follower for Barbarian and best way to equip them

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  What are the strengths and weaknesses of each follower? It seems to be the consensus for the average Barb in Inferno that the best follower is Enchantress, for the Armour buff as most, like myself, are building their character for surviabilty (LOH, armour, high res, block%, vit). What I find is that she does seem to die very quickly. What is the best way to equip her? At the moment I have her with a high dps 2h weapon with high int/vit, and the 2 rings and amulet also have high int/vit. So she is doing around 5k dmg and has 30-40k hp.


Best follower for battle wizard?

What Follower should I pick to complement the skills of my class?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  What are the strengths and weaknesses of each follower? With every class, what follower should I take so his general skills will complement mine? For example, as a Barbarian, I shouldn't pick the templar as a follower, because it would just be 2 melee attackers, so our skills are mostly the same. So who should I pick as a barbarian? (and with every other class, since we are talking about it.)

Can enemy ships have Augments?

When flying the Zoltan ship, if you get an event with boarders it sometimes justifies bypassing your Super Shields by saying "they must have a Zoltan Shield Bypass installed on their ship!" Which makes me wonder, is this just a flavour text excuse to justify an otherwise contradictory encounter, or can enemy ships actually have Augments? If the latter, which ships can have which augments?


Agrarian Skies 3.1.2 - How do I get to The End?

Need for Speed Shift becomes slow after reaching Tier 3

I have a problem in _NFS Shift_. My main profile worked fine until just after Tier 3, when the game became very slow and buggy. The weird thing is that when I created a new profile with same exact graphics settings the game runs at normal speed and everything. Win7 x64   i7-2600k   GTX 460 [296.10 driver]   Vertex 2 I've uploaded a video that shows what I've described: The first part of the video is the slow profile, and the second part is the fast one. What can I do about this?


Where is a good place to farm Cloth scraps?

I'm trying to level up leather working, but I'm having a lot of trouble since I require a lot of Jute in order to do so, but it seems to be fairly rare.

How can you build mob traps in Minecraft Pocket Edition?

In Minecraft pocket edition, can you build a trap that will kill hostile and passive mobs? I am trying to build a trap in Minecraft PE but no mobs are falling into it. Right now it is a water trap using a natural waterfall that drowns them. It works on me (If I do not mine) and animals that get pushed in, but no animals walk in on their own. I have animals swarming all over the place. Are there any traps that would work that won't take so long to build? If so, can you please show me how to build one. I do not care if I kill them or not, I just want the items. I also do not care if it works on players or not.I know that you do not have lava, buckets, spawners, redstone or most other things that would make it easier. I have about 1000 dirt or so, but I have not found any cactus in my world either.


How do you change your Steam status, ect. from a shortcut?

I want to do this, because I want to use RocketDock to change things like my status and open things like the Friends window. I'm trying to create a Steambox of sorts with a heavily modified Windows 7 install, so I don't need Windows Explorer. I know it's possible because this guy → did it (Skip ahead to 2:49 to see what I mean if it's not there already). I can't find anything on how to do this. Please help me with this.

What should I look out for in multiplayer?

I haven't played much online, but I've read of at least one bug caused by modders. What should I look out for in multiplayer and how can I protect myself other than the usual either to not play online or to only play with people that I know would not do things that they know may negatively affect my game (though to define it so broadly, it's hard to imagine anyone to be such a saint)? For example, what are common bugs and trolls and what can I do if I am affected by them (other than the usual methods of abstinence)?


How can I remap the keybindings for containers in Skyrim?

The interface for containers in Skyrim is driving me nuts. On the chest side, press `E` and you take the ingredient. Change to your inventory side, press `E` and you eat the item, instead of dropping it in to the box. On the other hand, I have emptied the whole chest countless times, because the `R` key moves one item from your inventory into the container, but _all_ items the other way round. Is there any way to change this behavior? Mods like "Interface Hard Coded Key Tweaks" only seem to be able to change the whole group of functions a key can be bound to in different situations (meaning that I could bind "Take" _and_ "Eat" on another key, but not on different keys).


Point of Curly's Panties

In Cave Story 3D I went into Curly's room in the Sandzone and picked up the item, "Curly's Panties". They are descriptionless and I could not find any use form them for the 3DS version. Do they have any use at all except for sitting in my inventory, taking up space?


Tiny Death Star: I'm not getting Supply Officers and VIPs. What am I doing wrong?

... that's why I'm hesitant to build more Imperial floors because it raises my chance sending Bitizens to empty floors and wasting them. Follow-up question: What are Imperial floors for? So far, the rewards for building them and completing missions seem small (1500-2000 coins) compared to the continuous income of Food, Service, Recreation and Retail floors. Plus, as I said, I'm not getting supply officers. (I've only built 10 levels.)


Is the reputation bonus retroactive?

Certain powers, like Assault Mastery for Vanguards, give a reputation bonus to Shepard. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/QEmxC.png) How exactly does this reputation bonus work? Does it just increase my total reputation by that amount, or does it work only on my future reputation gains? I'm mainly wondering whether it's necessary to get this skill as fast as possible to gain the most from it.

Is the Piggyback guide to Assassin's Creed 3 usable on Wii U version?

I have the Assassin's Creed 3 for Wii U, and I want to buy the Piggyback guide to the game, but in the guide web says it's for PC, PS3 and Xbox360 versions. I know that Wii U version was launch time after the guide, so. Can't I use the same guide for the Wii U version of the game?

Minecraft: does the server auto-updates the new features into the existing save?

Does the minecraft server automatically add the new features once updated, even in the old saves, or it only does that in the new games?


Why is cheese viewed with disdain, and will it affect your ranking?

Why is cheese viewed with disdain? Isn't it just a hyper aggressive style of play? The cheese I am referring to here would be tactics like 6/7 pooling when your opponent fails to wall off, cannon rushing when your opponent fails to spot a scouting probe, proxy pylons and early marine rushes. Most of these are easily preventable (and leave you at a disadvantage) if your opponent is prepared, but if they leave themselves open surely that is their own fault? Most complaints about this feel like sour grapes. Further to this, can anybody tell me if using such tactics will adversely affect your chances of promotion/demotion?


Is there a list displaying the champions in order based on their auto attack range?

I quite enjoy playing harassing champs on LoL, and I am interested in which champions have the longest auto attack range. Is there a list displaying the order of champions with the highest range first? I cannot seem to find this resource anywhere. From the top of my head I know Caitlyn, Annie and Ashe probably have the longest, but I know I will be missing some. (I don't want to include skill range, or things such as Sivir's bouncing blade, I just want the raw range)


Is anyone playing recent builds of AprQ2 on Linux which has a save game bug?

Probably a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone has played AprQ2 lately, a decent Quake 2 engine. I liked this one because a high-resolution texture pack was available and it compiled and ran well on my Fedora 14 x64 system. However, I am experiencing a game-breaking bug with the latest build: http://jdolan.dyndns.org/trac/wiki/AprQ2 Saving games simply does not work! I go to save my game, I get no error messages, but when I go to load there is nothing there. The above referenced build is not from the original maintainer, but apparently he abandoned the project. Now I started to debug the issue a bit, but before I invest more time I just wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing the same issue. It is not a permissions problem. Apparently a 'current' save game file is always maintained, and when the player wants to save the game the current file is copied to the new save game (e.g. save1). I think the 'current' save file is created, but never successfully copied. I am also trying to contact the maintainer to get his/her input (not sure if I need to register for trac to get his email).


Do dragons respawn?

I've found one as per the story, and I found another simply named dragon. Do they respawn? Can I kill an endless amount of dragons therefore filling the land with skeletons or is there a fixed number?


As a Demon Hunter, what bonuses should I focus on when spending Paragon Points?

As of the 2.0 patch, the Paragon point system has had a major overhaul. Now, there are four categories and each one has different things to Paragon place points in to. As a Demon Hunter, I see a bunch of helpful things that I could be spending points on, but I feel like I'm kind of all over the place and maybe a little too spread out to see a significant overall change. There are categories such as dexterity, attack speed, reduce resource cost, crit chance, crit damage, area damage and others that all seem like viable options. Is there an effective way to spend these points as a Demon Hunter? I realize that this may vary by build but it would be nice to have at least a general idea of which categories are more helpful than others overall for a DH. Though if you'd like to elaborate based on a certain build, feel free to do that also.


Dragonvale end game scenarios

What's your list of viable Dragonvale 'end game' goals? The kids have been playing Dragonvale for a while, long enough, and are at level 22 or so without any clear next goals that seem worthwhile. What would you suggest as a game finishing goal? To be clear: I understand that Dragonvale as a game has no end. I'm asking for personal goals like 'get all the non-limited dragons' or 'build out to level 25', which might make for a more satisfying end than 'i am bored'.


Will I be able to get the free Pokemon game if I link that same 3DS that I've unlinked from Club Nintendo a while back?

My 3DS used to be linked to Club Nintendo but I unlinked it a while back. Will I be able to get the free Pokemon game if I link that same 3DS again? Or will it recognize it still? I'm not sure how Club Nintendo works on relinking. I was planning on getting a 3DS XL but decided against it. This free game might push me back into buying that XL especially since I really want to get Animal Crossing which is one of the games required for the free Pokemon one. However, if somehow I can pull getting the free game on the 3DS I already have then I can wait for the XL. Thanks. Here's info on the promotion: http://club2.nintendo.com/3ds-pokemon-promo/ You get a free Pokemon game (Either X or Y) if you register a specific game from that list and a 3DS within the month of March


What am I going to do with all this junk inside my trunk?

During my travels, I have picked up many weapons such as LAMs, 12 Gauge Shotguns and Crowbars. These items have clear uses and need no introduction. Then there are some other items, such as...Soda, Chocolate Bars, and Soy Food? Clearly, these are not the tools of the trade of a hardcore killing machine...or indeed, of anybody at all, and the game offers no explanation for their existence. Are these items only pickup-able for the sake of atmosphere and to fill those lonely gaps in my inventory, or do they actually serve a purpose?


Can I kill everybody?

In Deus-Ex, I'm trying to play a run wherein the main character is a cruel, merciless cyborg who cannot distinguish between friend and foe. Basically, everybody dies. Things seemed to be going well in the first mission, where one of my comrades greeted me after I annihilated the enemy's leader and I proceeded to unload a 12 gauge into his lovable face, causing him to keel over and die. I stole his assault rifle and went down the stairs to my next friend, who told me what a great guy I was. I smiled and agreed and stabbed him 37 times in the chest. The only problem is that this didn't kill him; it caused him to get aggravated at me and shoot me with several poisonous darts as a form of comeuppance, rendering me quite dead. Are there some comrades who simply won't die and who will endure whatever pains I put them through, or do I lack the necessary firepower to eliminate them at this point?


How do I complete the Takes a Lickin' achievement?

The _Takes a Lickin'_ Act III challenge achievement says to "Get licked by 5 different Soul Rippers, Soul Lashers or Soul Devourers at once." Trying to both survive kiting what small grouping of 3 of these that I find together is hard enough, especially without killing the little mooks, but even when I do get 5 or 6 of these things together, shortly before the effort kills me or I accidentally their faces, the achievement doesn't pop. What's worse is I have some equips which have damage on hit so they also tend to kill themselves along the way in the rare cases. **What is the strategy or approach necessary to complete this achievement?** Is there a particular class/skill that would be helpful? Is there a location that this would be easier to do this in?


Should Terran build bunkers after the wall during 2v2?

Let's consider a match of 2v2 where:   1. Terran is in team with either Zerg or Protoss;   2. Terran can't wall-in for both bases together (their bases are too far away from each other). From one perspective Terran should close the entrance to their own base with barracks/supply AND bunker. In this case, their 4 marines get 400 more hit- points. From another perspective, very rarely will opponents attack a walled Terran. Instead they will go to the unwalled Zerg/Protoss. In this case, Terran will spend 100 minerals per each bunker build without real value: instead of taking 2 additional marines per bunker to help their teammate, they will keep concrete on the trash at their own base. What do you think of that: should the Terran build bunkers on their own choke behind the wall? Thanks.


What good are daggers?

I've gotten to Venice and I have never so much as drawn my dagger (well, not on purpose. Thanks, obnoxiously twitchy weapon selector!). I haven't felt like anything was particularly difficult while using only my main weapon and hidden blades for melee work. Am I missing out on any dagger awesomeness? Any special tricks that require the dagger to perform? Or is it just another piece of assassin bling?


How can I farm the Cows?

Each difficulty level of Diablo 2 has it's own secret cow level associated with it. When I kill the Cow King I get locked out of the secret cow level for that difficulty level forever. How can I reliably farm the area without a chance of locking myself out? How does this strategy need to be adjusted for battle.net?


Can I fight the 4 Ubers in single player or non-ladder battle.net?

I have defeated Diablo 2 LoD in Hell mode and can't get a large enough crew together to help improve the pop rates on Keys or SoJs to get the different Ubers to spawn (I realize I am asking about 2 different quests). This is the only content I haven't seen and I would like to try it out before I start D3 as I will probably stop playing D2 after. Is there a way to experience this game play in single or non-ladder Diablo 2?


Giving resources directly to other citizens in Die2Nite

How do sigils work together?

I recently found out about sigils. Specifically, the "gain a stack of X per kill" with a maximum of 25 stacks. Since I am dual wielding, I bought two thinking I'd be able to get 50 stacks. Well, I still capped at 25 stacks, but they increased by 2 per kill. While the doubled rate was nice, I'd have rather used that upgrade slot on something different. How can I avoid making this mistake in the future? The "stacks on kill" sigils are clear now, but how do each of the other types of sigils work together?


What do I do in Technic/Tekkit?

As you may have noticed, I have always had a fascination with Technic and Tekkit. I started reading up on it, but got lost very fast since there are many mods to read up on, and many things to cross-reference and so on. Therefore, I have to ask: _is there a tutorial for technic/tekkit or like some kind of beginners' guide?_


Does a scroll of remove curse uncurse rings and amulets?

The wiki page for the scroll of remove curse says > The scroll of remove curse, when read, will uncurse **worn or wielded > items** , loadstones and leashes in use. (emphasis mine) Does that only include items that I have actually `w`ielded or `W`orn, or does it also include rings or amulets that I have `P`ut on?


What chapters can I complete without spending $300 on this game?

We got Skylanders for the kid for Christmas.   Consequently, I've been playing a fair amount of Skylanders.   It's got good points and bad points, but it is fun to play, so I guess overall we'll have to call it a win. Via Chapter Select I can go back to previous areas that have already been played and attempt to "complete them" (find all the stuff, visit all the areas, do a speed run, eventually earn 3 stars for the chapter by doing all of the above). I've certainly played me some Spyro before, so going back to old levels to finish them off is nothing new. This toy-based gambit is really built right into the game though, you can't go through these elemental portals without the right kind of action figure. The base pack comes with 3 which represents 3 of the 8 elements. Which means that I can only complete a chapter if I've got the right toys for it. Which leads me to the question:   Which chapters do I have the right Skylander/elements to complete? As a bonus, which chapters am I only missing a single Skylander/element in order to complete? Visiting each chapter and writing stuff down would be a bit time-consuming, so a nice list would be helpful.


How do I recover from a bad early game?

Due to difficulties in the early game, often I die a lot earlier and get little farm or kills. This often causes me to get underleveled. It's a HUGE difference, and the best solution is to not get in that situation in the first place, but if it does happen, **what are some tips to quickly recover from being underleveled?** It feels like I am a nuisance to my team because I die easily to any opponent, I cannot kill opponents, and farming is very hard with tough opponents in the lane. I need to level up to help my friends, but I don't know HOW to do it fast!


How can I stop lava creating fire?

Turning off fire tick with               /gamerule fireTick false      disables fire spread. This means fire won't spread to another block, and blocks covered with fire don't get destroyed. However, if **lava** is near a burnable block, the burnable block can catch on fire _even with fire spread off_. It will not, however, get destroyed. It seems this is a bug, from previous responses. My two questions are:   1. Is it going to be fixed in version 1.8?   2. How can I circumvent it?


Where is the quest progress screen in Happy Wars?

I know once I managed to find the screen, I need to find it again and forgot where it is! Can anyone help me?


How can I complete the Blood on the Ice quest?

I had been playing through this quest and accused the court wizard of the murders in Windhelm. I went to see him in prison and he told me to look for the real killer at night. I ran frantically around the city but couldn't catch up to the arrow indicator on the map. I did find a dead body though and no one seems to want to acknowledge that it is there. Everyone just walks past it. So, I went to my house and found the real murderer inside, trying to find his bloody altar. I can hit him until he falls to his knees but he gets back up and carries on. If I try to hit him more after he goes down, guards come into my house and start attacking me! I have no conversation options with the Jarl or his steward to tell them the real killer is in my house. How can I complete this quest?


What can cause an explosion in peaceful mode?

I was recently relayed an odd episode. My friend was playing Feed the Beast's Monster pack (single player), mining away in the Nether, on peaceful mode, nothing unusual in sight, and suddenly there's an explosion. Obvious culprits are TNT, exploding machines, and creepers. After verifying there was nothing like that around ("Are you _sure_ you were on peaceful?"), I'm left stumped. I don't know every aspect of every mod in the pack, by far, but this seems odd to me. **What can cause spontaneous explosions in peaceful mode with no player setup?**


How do I get higher career ranks?

I get messages from time to time saying I got "promoted" in my career, but I can't figure out what triggers that.


Where can I find the Templar Dens in Constantinople?

Where are the Templar Dens? Ideally I'd like to have a map of all of them in Constantinople.


How to calculate post-buff archon damage?

I have a CM wizard which is built around the archon skill. When I switch to archon form and press "I", the DPS doesn't change. I know that the skill increases my damage by 300%. But I suppose it isn't enough to add 300% to my DPS, since archon only increases my black damage (a.k.a. non-elemental) and the DPS takes the elemental damage in to account as well.


Why does the Filler item tell me to tilt the system?

In vs. modes with items turned on, the Filler item (that's what I call it, its icon is green with six blocks) causes all the blocks in the player's field to disconnect and fall down, filling in all the holes and leaving an emptier grid of nicely-stacked blocks. The thing is, using a Filler causes a prompt to appear that says to tilt the 3DS - and then it disappears almost instantly, unlike the "blow" and "touch screen" prompts which remain for several seconds when their relevant items are used. I try to tilt the 3DS just after I hit the button but it doesn't seem to have any effect. What is it supposed to do?


Overlord: Raising Hell does not start from Steam

When clicking "play" on _Overlord: Raising Hell_ in the Steam library the game won't run.   * When you choose "Play Overlord Raising Hell", the game does not start and exits without an error.    * When you choose "Configure Overlord: Raising Hell", the game gives an error: "executable not found". The main game does launch, but the expansion is not enabled. How can I fix this?


Why are some Borgia's standards shown in the map?

In _Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood_ there are some standards spread across the city. I've noticed that in some cases some of these banners are shown in the map and other not (the most common). What is the criteria?


How do I create a Fortify Enchantment potion up to +32%?

How do I create a fortify enchantement potion up to 32%? I've read this chart http://forums.runicgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=20366 and I wonder how is this possible? I've 5 fortify alchemy items (falmer helmet + circlet exploit) all around +21 percent and my alchemy skill is at lvl 60 but my highest potion is up to +21 percent. When I remove a fortify alchemy item I get up to +20 enchantement potion loosing just +1 percent? Is there a fortify alchemy potion I can swallow? It's seems a bit high? My enchantment skill is lvl 70. I've additionaly two fortify one-handed items up to +33 percent each but my damage is up to +120 only? I've read this How do I create Fortify Alchemy enchantments up to 29%?  maybe it is a bug?

Deus Ex 2: Invisible War crashes to the desktop after the first loading screen. Can this be fixed?

I am one of the many people that took up the offer on steam of the 10 year anniversary of Deus Ex. The problem is with Deus Ex 2: Invisible war. The game launches and starts with the opening videos, and then on the first loading screen it crashes to the desktop There are lots of posts around the internet about this 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, but there seems no definitive solution (that at least worked for me). Can we find a definitive answer as all of the above do not work? I have tried updating all my drivers, various "compatability modes", lots of multiproccesor hacks and nothing seems to work. My specific setup is: 2.16 Ghz Core 2 Duo Intel 945 graphics card 2Gb RAM Windows 7 Steam


What happens when you take out the blue wool from a desert pyramid?

New to Minecraft are desert pyramids with a bunch of colored wool in them. The wool at the very center is blue and apparently a "surprise" is deployed if you were to remove it. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/kqwqx.png) What does happen exactly? The pyramid collapses? TNT fountains? Mega-charged- creeper army? An ancient curse turns into a mooshroom? Eleventy thousand chickens suddenly attack you Zelda style?


How can I programmatically change the # of resources delivered by workers in a StarCraft 2 custom map?

_Not certain if this should be in the Game Dev StackExchange, but it seems appropriate here too._ Following up on another question about applying handicaps to StarCraft, I am considering a map modification to simply reduce the number of minerals/gas delivered by workers while harvesting. The default is 5, but I would like to reduce it _for one player only_ to 4 or 3. How would I go about doing this?


Can I use my Xbox Live account to transfer someone else's saved data from my old 360 to a new one?

My younger brother and I bought a new Xbox and I transferred all of our files with a USB flash drive to the new one. I have an Xbox Live account but he doesn't. I was able to recover all of my saved data just fine. My brother can see his file on the new Xbox, but when he tries to access it, none of his achievements seem to be there. Is it because he doesn't have an Xbox Live account? Would it help if he signed up for a month so he could retrieve his data or is it just lost now because he needed to have his own Xbox Live account before we transferred everything?


How can I directly link to a TeamSpeak server on my website?

I am playing a lot of League of Legends at the moment, and what I don't like is the lack of voice communication in it. I want to be able to get people to my server without having to have too much hassle. Here is what I plan to do:   1. Point people to a website I make. There should be the details to connect (password, etc) if people want to enter by themselves.   2. If people want to connect faster, have them click some kind of a link that should do the connecting for them.  Is it possible to host bookmarks that connects to to a TeamSpeak server with password and channel, or do I need to script this? I want to really lower the barrier of people connecting, so the easier the better.


How can I tell if I have the Team Fortress 2 update that supports Snow Leopard 10.6.4?

I recently saw that TF2 has updated its code so it doesn't run slow for the Mac OS X 10.6.4 update (which I was holding off on doing since I wanted to play TF2). I just saw that I need to restart Steam because of an update which included this: > OSX: Fix several memory leaks   >  OSX: Fix copy/paste resulting in extra random string data Sorry for the confusion on the real question. The question I am asking is: Do I have to do/download anything to see if the so called TF2 update for 10.6.4 is on my machine? They have told us before that we shouldn't upgrade to 10.6.4 yet since it was buggy with TF2 (graphics problem) so now that they have advertised it and I have upgraded to 10.6.4, is the update already on my machine or not? I checked the Steam update log as mentioned in one of the answers, but I haven't seen any trace of their 10.6.4 fix. Another edit: Apple finally released an update for portal and tf2 specifically. Here's a screenie: ![Apple update for TF2, Portal and Starcraft 2](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Cv4v1.png)

How do I get the equipment in the "Good Ol' Days" quest?

In the "Good Ol' Days" level I can see that there is a piece of equipment that I did not get, but neither town is selling one. It looks like there is some sort of code I'm supposed to put into the west forest, but I can't figure out how or if it's related. What do I have to do to get the equipment?

Can the Lost Viking mini-game in Wings of Liberty be played with a controller?

The only campaign achievements I haven't earned from Wings of Liberty are the ones earned by playing the Lost Viking mini-game. For whatever reason my NES trained hands could not play a top down shooter with the keyboard (more truthfully I was plain terrible at this particularly game). This partial completion is for whatever reason bothering me so I want to give the mini-game another go. On this attempt rather than fight with my keyboard I'd like to use my Xbox controller. Can the Lost Viking be played with a controller?


Do "acres" still matter for how I plant trees/flowers?

In the first Animal Crossing there were sectors of the map like A1 and D4, and to get a perfect town you needed just enough, but not too many, trees/etc in all areas. Does New Leaf work like that in that there can be too many trees in one area or can I put trees/flowers pretty much anywhere, even in tight bundles? My current plans include a dense orchard for fruits and a lot of flowers in one area so they can breed freely and so it's easier to keep them watered.

Does this still work in order to get master mechanic achievement?

I have read many times that by saving up 1M credits and buying one tier of achievements and then loading, then buying other tier and so on lets you have the master mechanic achievement. I came across this answer: "As of now, the best way to earn the armory achievements is to play the campaign multiple times, selecting different upgrades on each playthrough, as achievements are shared across all campaigns." I am confused. I am in the middle of the campaign and I don't want to waste time. So by doing this can I still get the achievement? Or need I play the campaign one other time ?


When do purchasable upgrades take effect in Desktop Defender?

In Desktop Defender, you can either upgrade a tower by spending money in game or by spending coins out of game (in the metagame). When do the out of game upgrades take effect? Do they affect level 1 towers, or do you have to upgrade those towers _in game_ before they do anything?

What are the slot machine odds in New Vegas?

I know that slot machines are generally a sucker's game, but they also have the highest potential payouts. That said, after fighting one at the Atomic Wrangler for the better part of an hour, I'm not even near breaking even, and the best spins I've seen have been two cherries. Is there a list of the odds of each reward? Does it vary by casino? Also, has anyone ever actually seen a decent payout on the New Vegas slots without having a 10 Luck stat?


Is there a way to know which will be the next bitizen to unlock in TDS?

I'm playing TDS without spending any Bux to unlock any bitizens. (See my other question on that subject.) And, from conferring with other players, it seems clear that the game unlocks in the same progression for everyone (assuming you don't buy bitizens). Is there a way to know who is going to unlock next? I thought it might be the one whose price to unlock is the cheapest in bux, but this has proven incorrect.


Topdown maps of Moonview Highway?

Is it possible to get a topdown map of Moonview Highway? (or any track?) Are they available somewhere? Or with the hacks around, is it possible to pan the view to the sky to look at the track and record it that way?


What is the point of PvM in UO?

I played UO several years ago with some friends and it was fun and everything, but it seemed like there was literally almost nothing to do except PvP. However I was pretty twinked out, I supposed, maybe this is why PvM didn't seem that useful? Still, I played a considerable amount and found almost no drops of any value and certainly no interesting loot at all. I think the best thing I found was like gems and reagents from farming dragons. Is there anything else to it or is that basically it? (Vanilla UO, not talking about special custom server encounters or anything)


My minecraft isn't giving me my blocks as soon as I mine them

How do I get three stars on "The Pit" in Special Ops?

I've completed the campaign mode of _Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2_ and I want to complete Special Ops. I'm stuck on "The Pit". We have to complete the level in 35 seconds to get three stars. I was only able to get two stars no matter how many times or how hard I tried. Can you give me some suggestions (e.g., shoot from the hip, or shoot while running rather than aiming down)?


What is this blue bubble above my head in Zenonia?

I'm playing Zenonia for the iPhone, and I'm in the snow levels. My character has a weird blue bubble floating above his head. Sometimes it's solid blue, other times it's white with a blue symbol inside of it. It's always sparkling and has a little sparkling chain that connects it to my character. Normally I would assume this is some sort of status effect, perhaps due to the cold. But I can't figure out what status it actually is. Also, nothing I do makes it go away. It also doesn't seem to actually be hurting me in any way. ![White with blue bits in it](http://i.stack.imgur.com/wipxd.png) ![Solid blue](http://i.stack.imgur.com/QNVSx.png)


Different coloured dog tags when knifing

When I kill someone with a combat knife in Bad Company 2, the player's name along a dog tag appears on the screen. I have noticed that the colour of the dog tag is not consistent.

Security issues minecraft server time capsule

I'm running a public minecraft server (public ip) from my time capsule. Could someone get disk access if they figured out the password, or knew my ip and I had a time capsule? The server is running in a virtual ubuntu machine. I gave out the public ip for the virtual machine. My questions are: If they found out the password would they be able to access the virtual machine, or my computer? Would it be more secure if I used mineos or ubuntu server? I heard that hosting a minecraft server is super secure from the official minecraft fourm. Is that true?


Is there any way to get the Faderator in Fallout: New Vegas on the 360?

The Faderator is a piece of cut content in the Fallout: New Vegas addon Dead Money. It's retrievable using console commands on the PC, but I'm not running F:NV on the PC; I'd like to get at this content (and possibly other cut content) on the Xbox 360. How can I do that?


How do I gain Owner Points?

I have learned that various in-game items unlock using Owner Points. While I have figured out where I can see how many Owner Points I have, I haven't quite figured out how I can ensure I gain a lot of them. I figure it has something to do with taking good care of my dog, like making sure he is fed and taking him for walks, but beyond that, I am not sure. How can I make sure I get as many Owner Points as possible? What do I need to make sure I am doing?

Is there a spreadsheet with unit states for StarCraft 2? The ones I found are either not up-to-date is (e.g. this one is clearly not fro 1.4.3 patch) or not comprehensive (e.g. one on the Blizzard site and the same thing in GoogleDocs).

How do I fire my Lasers?

I've just acquired some laser cannons for my ship, but when I try to fire them, I'm faced with a mini-game to lock on to my target. But I have no real idea how I should play this mini game, and the game itself seems to provide no instructions. **How do I complete the laser cannon mini game?**


I lost my fort. How do I find it again?

In this case, it was due to a web-shooting Hill Giant. (N.B., really? Hill giants shoot webs? Okay then, will be prepared next time. [Technically, it was a Hill Giant that looked like a python, but had a shell, so there's that going for it...]) Anyway, I was down to my last dwarf, and he was apparently a smear on the floor, so I gave up, for now. Next step, find that embark and salvage it for the glory of dwarf-kind and the mountainhome. Unfortunately, after going to "Start Playing", and choosing the Dwarf World I was in, I'm dropped back into the embark selection screen. Is there a short- cut to find where I'd previously embarked? How can I get back to where I was? Long story short. I'd embarked, failed (Losing is FUN), and want to get back to the same spot. How can I do that?


Leveling up in solo-play?

I prefer solo play, and I'm asking this question mostly as a follow-up to my previous question: Crime.NET Offline. As many have pointed out in the my previous question, my main problem arises from being low-level and preferring to play solo. Does anyone have any tips, tricks, mission lists that would be capable by a lv ~20 character? Preferably stealth?

What's the difference between "hard" and "crushing" difficulty?

While watching videos of "Crushing" difficulty on Uncharted 3, (see my answer to this question, although beware of spoilers) I noticed that it seemed like there were no button prompts during the QuickTime Events. I've never played an Uncharted game on Crushing. I expected it to take less hits to kill Nathan, but is this lack of QTE prompts also a feature of Crushing difficulty? Are there any other differences between "hard" and "crushing?"


What does the Infinity Blade unlock in the dungeon?

In Infinity Blade I, when you choose to go down to the dungeon, the scene right before you head up the stairs to the elevator to the God King, there's a stone with the infinity blade shape on it.

Heroes VI Altar of Wishes - Buying Creatures

Do creatures you buy through the Altar of Wishes get assigned to your main Hero on each map? I am wondering it they are really worth purchasing. If they are faction specific this could lead to a large investment if one is planning on playing every faction. If they require pre-built structures, then it would detract from the advantage of purchasing them through limited dynasty tokens. In my opinion, the start game is the most crucial factor in a decisive victory.


Can a Death Knight have Dual Talent specialization?

I didn't see an option to have 2 talent trees at my class trainer. Is this feature available for Death Knights?


Can I get new crafting recipes from the trainer?

In The Old Republic, my main character has the armourmech crew skill. When I initially picked up the crew skill, the armourmech trainer offered me some crafting recipes, six of them. Since that initial contact there've never been any new recipes available from the trainer whenever I've visited, all the new armour recipes I've got have either been learned from reverse engineering items I've created from those recipes, or from loot drops. I seem to have out-levelled all of the initial recipes, and the reverse- engineered versions of those, too (shown by the grey number beside the recipes according to this previous answer) and am only getting the crafting XP from the handful of loot-drop recipes I've got. I'm in the 20s level-wise, and in the 60s for armormech skill is that what's limiting me, do I need to get my level or armoursmith skill up higher before the trainer will offer me anything? Or is there no point to me going back to a trainers, and should I instead be relying on reverse-engineer/loot drops/GTN for stronger, more powerful armour recipes, and the trainer provided ones were only to start me off on my path?


Purchased physical mac StarCraft 2 via amazon. Is it possible to download it prior dvd install?

I purchased a copy of SC2 WoL from amazon. The problem is that my old 2007 MBP dvd player is not that healthy anymore and I'm afraid I could have some problem with the installation. Or worse, destroy the disc. So the question is: there is a way to notify this purchase to battle.net and download SC directly, without having to use the DVD at all? Thanks!


What's the Kinect support in the Xbox 360 version used for?

Across the top of my copy of Mass Effect 3 is a purple "Works better with Kinect" banner. This seems relatively out of place in a 3rd person shooter. However, I do own a Kinect sensor, and I'm tempted to hook it up. What can I do with Kinect that I couldn't do otherwise?


Are there optional squad members in Mass Effect 3?

By "optional" I mean "you can complete the game without hiring". In Mass Effect 2, you could finish the game without hiring Kasumi Goto (a DLC character), and I think Grunt and Legion are optional as well (you have the option of not animating/reactivating them), though all others were mandatory. What about Mass Effect 3? Is it possible to finish the game without hiring one of the characters? (I'm guessing probably not, but I'd like to be safe). I'm not talking specifically about DLC characters, but any character that is possible to miss.


How can I get gold without paying actual money?

How do I get gold with no purchase? I want to buy stuff, and my parents won't let me buy gold! When I lend them money, they say I can't do it because they don't want to use their credit card! I was on my own. I tried getting famous, but that didn't work. I only got fame points. After that, I didn't know what to do. Is there a way to get gold without paying actual money for it?

All current quests are in Markarth - and they hate me there

Early on in my quest, Dryston would not stop fighting in a fist fight so I accidentally ended up killing him. Since then I have had to kill all Markarth guards I see, so my bounty is quite high... I have now sided with the Stormcloaks against the Empire - And all the current side quests are in Markarth. Every single one. I am at level 48, so can survive until I go through a door or move to another area, and eventually I run out of potions/arrows/strength. It doesn't appear that I can simply surrender myself, despite trying after reading this question - they always attack rather than try and imprison me. Not sure if this is because I have a follower and a dog - the dog especially is a bit aggressive. Anything I can do without resorting to console commands? I'd rather not have to start again unless I have to.


How can I upgrade my Town Hall to level 5?

I am trying to upgrade my Town Hall to level 5, however, it keeps stating that I need more gold. But when I try to buy more gold it complains I need more storage!


Can I see all units' health bars in real time in Age of Empires 2 HD?

So I bought AOE2HD on Steam and have been playing a bit with friends. One annoying thing I find is in a large battle I can't see the health of all units in real time so I have a difficult time managing my units. In many other RTS games holding the `ALT` key shows a healthbar for all units on screen but this doesn't work in AOE2. I've looked through options and Googled but couldn't find anything.


What is the best way to obtain a ridiculously high score in Goat Ville?

I just completed the challenge to get a "Big Ass Score" of 500000 (might be missing a zero or two), and it took nearly an hour of hunting down every high- scoring item to get there. Now my challenge is 4x that big. How in the name of Goat God can I get a score this high? Or, in a more Arquade-friendly way, what are the highest-scoring bonuses that can be found in Goat Simulator, and which of them can be chained together to aid in score-building?


Which happens first? The daily upgrade or the midnight attack?

Where is Aria T'Loak in Mass Effect 3?

My quick question is, where is she Aria T'loak? If I'm not mistaken, she's suppose to be in the club at the number 3 location (on the map), but I don't see her.


Do any Mass Effect / Mass Effect 2 bonus items carry over to ME3? Which ones?

I have seen some suggestions that ME2 bonus content is carried over into ME3, but I can't seem to find any details as to what might also make an appearance. I spent a lot of time collecting ME2 bonus items through the various online promotions, and I'm wondering which (if any) gear will be available in ME3 and how to access it if so?

Auto-resolve dilemma dialog

A streamer let their sims 4 game run while they took a nap, and we, viewers, watched while this household slowly spiralled into chaos with various things around the house breaking. There was however one problem. When a sim is at their work, they sometimes have a 'dilemma' that requires human interaction. A popup appears in the game with a situation at work and the player needs to choose one out of 2 options. This pauses the game, and will not disappear until the player clicks. This made me wonder. Is there a configuration setting to either disable this popup or to auto-resolve the popup by choosing one of the options automatically?


Why did Delilah try to kill Daud?

So, why was Delilah plotting against Daud anyway? It seems completely unnecessary and in the end only ruined her plans...

What's the best strategy for beating the "Welcome to the jungle" mission from the Wings of Liberty single-player campaign?

In the "Welcome to the jungle" mission, your goal is to, as Terran, collect seven canisters of a mysterious gas before the inhabiting Protos army annihilates you or seal of to many canisters. Air resistance is heavy, and the Protos are aggressive in their attacks against you and the canister sites. **What's the best tactic for beating this level?**


What are some options for finding my lost companion Veronica, besides a manual search?

I've just lost my companion Veronica, she's nowhere to be found. I did not tell her to stop following me, she just dissapeared at some point. I've looked in front of the Lucky 38 and at the trading post where I first met her, but she wasn't there. Is there any way to find a missing companion that is better than searching manually everywhere?

Flaming Ulitmate Sword

I played with a Monk on xbox live that was doing 1.3Million dps with his giant flaming sword at level 12. I am guessing this sword is the result of some quest or premium. The sword essentially maxed out his stats (he did not gain anything by increasing them more with other items) and one slash killed most monsters we faced. Anyone know what it is or could be?

Is this balcony Endermen-proof?

I have this pseudo-functional (but mostly for aesthetics) balcony just outside my mountain-side shelter: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YDtAI.png) It gives me a nice view outside, and I can peer over the edge to the ground far below (30+ blocks) to see what baddies are down there before I venture out. There is an above overhang that extends a couple of blocks past the balcony edge (not shown), so no monsters can fall down onto it from above. What I'm not sure about is whether it's Endermen-proof. I've noticed them appearing on occassion on the mountain to the right. I've also tussled with a few of them underground and know they have a penchant for teleporting behind you when they get cross. However, in my experience they seem to have trouble moving/teleporting through passages that narrow in height to less than 3 blocks. The narrowest height of my balcony opening is 2 1/2 blocks, where the slabs are in the picture. If I were on my balcony, and an Enderman caught sight of me, would he be able to pop on over to my balcony uninvited? Or would he not be able to fit through? Since I don't really _need_ the balcony, I could probably glass-block it in. But I kind of like it as-is. It amuses me.


C4 persistence -- does it depend on where you plant it?

I find that when I die sometimes my C4 stays put and sometimes it's gone, but I can't be sure without any controlled testing. It seems to me that if I put C4 on the ground, then die, I can still blow it up once I respawn. But if I am killed after placing my C4 on an enemy vehicle, once I respawn I never am able to kill that vehicle by using my detonator. Does the game remove them upon death only when they are placed on enemy vehicles?

How does weapon color grade affect weapon quality?

I believe the order of gun colors is: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Magenta, Orange, and I get that those basically increase in quality from left to right. What I'm interested in is what exactly improves as you move up through the color grades. Does each added grade add more minimum affixes, similar to Diablo? Are damage minimums adjusted? Do some affixes only occur in certain quality grades? etc...


Why doesn't my Day Z inventory save on only one of my computers?

We have two computers in the house (and two Day Z "accounts"). On one of these computers, it is not possible to save items past a certain point in my inventory. After playing around with it for far too long, it seems that once I pick up more than one pistol magazine (or possibly bandage), my inventory becomes "stuck" such that any additional stuff I get disappears when I logout and any items I consume re-appear on login. My health and location save as expected. Dying clears the condition, but new characters run into the same problem. On the second computer, Day Z works perfectly for both accounts. In other words, the character whose inventory is stuck on one PC has no problem collecting things on the other PC. This fact makes me think I can do something about it rather than chalking it up to a buggy alpha. Here's what I've tried:   * dying    * lots of different servers   * updating the game, including the latest 1.7.2.4/95417 beta   * "verify integrity" of the Steam downloads several times (this is what I use to switch accounts)   * I bought a third Arma key, and a fresh character under that key had exactly the same problem (again only on the buggy computer)   * deleted everything Arma/DayZ-related I could find and reinstalled   * waiting several minutes on the server before logging off (thinking it might only save my game periodically or something) One more bit of info: on the buggy computer, my character seems to get "desynced" often such that my friends think I'm stuck in one place when I'm actually far away. Both computers share an Internet connection, so it doesn't seem to be typical lag. Needless to say this was very frustrating the first couple times it happened. Does anyone have an idea as to what might be wrong?

How to choose save device for downloads on Xbox Live

When you start a download on Xbox Live from your console it will automatically download to the HDD(Hard drive). If there is no space on the drive, it allows you to choose a different storage device, providing there is space. So, where's the option to download to USB from the beginning? Basically, I have a game on my USB. Inserting the USB brings up the game as a trial. So, I have to re-download the game from the marketplace. Although, instead of ipdating the USB, it will download to the HDD. If I place another download ahead of it, it should give me an option to download to a different device if there's space. Or if there isn't enough space on the HDD it will give me an option. So, there isn't an option to select a device first. Meaning, I have to clear space on the HDD, copy to the HDD from the USB, click download again. It will go from 1%-100% immediatly. Copy back to USB.

Does hitting the dead body increase the drop rate or is this a bug?


What is Attack Move for?

Attack Move is a key bind that I came across in the key binding list. From my own testing it seems to move to the target location and attack the nearest target-able object including turrets. I heard people talking about it in IRC chats and during the casting of Tourney Games. Most pertaining to AD-carries, in particular that Doubleliftt uses it which is the reason he is so fluid. I was just wondering what exactly it is good for and how I could use it to improve my damage out-put as an AD Carry? If anyone could create a little video tutorial showing instances in how you use this it would be great. It is hard to understand when explained in words how to kite using it for instance. To someone who has never used it before.


How to become a vampire and werewolf hybrid?

I want to become a werewolf and vampire lord hybrid. I searched it up on YouTube . One way was to become werewolf when being vampire lord and have Serena bite you again when you came out from Underforge. The other way was to have Hircine's Ring. The problem is I had already turned into a werewolf and had taken Savioir's Hide instead of Hircine's Ring. I was wondering if any of you knew a different way to become werewolf and vampire hybrid.

How can I estimate how much elemental Damage over time I'll cause?

The hardest part of playing Siren is figuring out exactly how much Elemental Damage you're dealing with Damage Over Time (DOT) effects. They're complicated. I'd like to put together a formula to judge _about_ how much damage per second I'm doing over a period of time. I know all the stats that go into DOT, but I can't quite piece it all together into a function. What I really want to know is how much DOT damage will happen over a given Length of time, given DOT damage, DOT % (per shot), Rate of Fire (chances to add DOT). I don't care about bullet damage, that's easy to work out. And yes I know any estimation will be overly optimistic, but so are simple bullet damage DPS stats. First we have the damage per second listed on the gun. This damage in reality is going to be affected by level of target - attacker then multiplied by the multiplication factor as noted in this damage table. We're going to ignore all of that as those multipliers can be added after our equation. We'll call this **DOT damage**. Second we have our chance to add a Status Effect DOT. This is made up of the value on the gun plus the value added from skills, plus the Badass Rank bonuses, plus any relevant Percentages are combined _additively_ , though the value is always 0 if the gun's effect chance is 0. We'll just call this combined chance **DOT %**. Third we have the DOT length which I spell out here; 5 seconds for fire, 2 for Shock, 8 for Corrode. We'll call this **DOT Length**. Each DOT lasts only this long, so DOT stacks will constantly be added and expire after this time has been reached for the first stack. Fourth we have **Rate of Fire** ; the bullets hitting the target per second. We'll go ahead and assume 100% of the bullets hit the target since this is a theoretical measure. Finally we have the **Length** of time the target is under fire, from the first bullet's impact to the last. This is what we'll divide total damage by and how we'll know So putting it together we have DOT Damage multiplied by the current number of stacks, stacks expiring by DOT Length after they start and spawning by (Rate of Fire multiplied by DOT %) for period Length. The stacks starting and stopping is the hardest part. I'm not sure if that can be modeled, but a measure using something like "average stacks at any given time" would be acceptable. I have all the pieces (if I'm missing something just ask, I probably know it), I just can't figure out how to put them together _considering DOT expiration_. If anyone can put together a formula for all this that would be a very valuable resource for Sirens everywhere. Can this be modeled?

How can I prevent my dog from barking so much?

Is there anyway - a mod or via console - to make the dog stop barking all the time? Maybe it is not annoying to other people but I play a stealthy character. I realize that the NPCs may not hear the dog bark but I find it annoying when I'm B&E in a home, sneaking past the sleeping occupants only to hear my dog bark like he's trying to tell someone Timmy is in the well. When I sneak, my follower sneaks, at the least, the dog could be quiet. The same for the summoned companion that howls. Again, I do realize that this is probably a problem for only a small group of people, but it resulted in me being unable to use the dog. If I could even just turn the dog volume down, that would help. I play with headphones and I play with a large stereo system. To me the sound of a game (when I'm playing a stealthy character) is almost as important as the video. Perhaps a mod could be made by the Skyrim Modder Gods in which other animals can be used and be used quietly.   Thanks

What to do with unmarried kinswomen?

I have several healthy, young and fertile kinswomen at my court. Unfortunately, no one wants to marry them matrilineally. I tried looking for duchy and county title claimants, the default search list, lowborns all over the world and no one wants to marry them (Your kinswoman is unimportant: -----). The reason why i want to marry them matrilineally is because i want them to breed more kinsmen so i can further strenghten my dynasty and occasionally get a weak claim or two, but it seems i am only able to send them off into regular marriages, which to me, seems like a waste of good women, since they dont even give me alliances. Is there a way to lure some sucker from another court into marrying them matrielineally? Also, incest is not an option, i dont want to risk having inbreds in my glorious dynasty.

While wandering the first level of the dungeon in _Dark Quest_ it would occasionally make me roll the Skull if Fate. These had negative consequences on all but one roll.

What is the significance of the recommended height of a custom fighter?

When customizing a fighter in Soul Calibur 5, upon choosing your preferred weapon (or soul), the next prompt is for the height of your character. There are 5 choices, and one of them is selected by default and marked with a star. This default height is different for different weapons, and the text claims something about that being the "optimal" height for fighters of that weapon. What does this mean? What does height affect, gameplay wise? What downsides are there for picking a height other than the recommended one?

Is there a quick way to gather (or buy) raw meat in Monster Hunter Tri?

I've played a lot of Monster Hunter on the PSP and recently started playing it on the Wii. I've not played online yet as I've been working my way through the single player missions. Just to give an idea as to where I'm at, I've just started the 5 star quests. My question is if there is a quick way to gather (or buy) raw meat, aside from going out into the woods and killing everything I see. To my knowledge you can buy raw meat in some of the PSP versions of MH, which has me wondering if I can do the same here.

I bought Civilization IV and all 3 expansion packs from the Steam Sale.

Can I just play Civ IV and access all the content from there? Or will I jsut be able to play the vanilla game without any of the expansions? ~~And I've heard that Colonization is a totally separate game..so would this need to be run separately?~~ After a tiny bit of searching, I have found that Colonization is a standalone, separate game. However, my main question stands. EDIT: It seems that Warlords scenarios are not included in BtS.

A good size RAM-disk for Minecraft server?

Minecraft redstone logic - comparing 6 inputs

i do have 6 inputs. 3 A inputs, 3 B inputs. Each one of them can be set to on or off. I now have to compare those 6 and look who has more on-inputs. A or B? Does anyone have a solution for this? What i've tried so far:   * For each A and B, make a dropper counter, that stores up to 3 items. Everytime one A input gets on, it puts one item in the "on" Dropper, whereas when one A-input goes off, it takes it again. After that i have 2 Droppercounters to compare with Comparators. Problem: Goes far to big for my survival map. Don't like that solution.   * I thought of something like this - haven't tried it actually. Make a 15 signal strength input and feed it to a comparator set to subtraction mode. Now feed all the 3 A inputs into this main line and subtract their power. We get an output ranging from 12 to 15 (12 meaning A has 3 inputs on, 15 meaning A has 0 inputs on).   * Looked up all the logic gates. There might be one for comparing 6 inputs etc. Haven't found one. What are your solutions for this one? I am trying to make the redstone simple and small! Thanks!


Need to buy a genuine SONY PS3 controller. How do I avoid buying a knock-off?

I would like to purchase a NEW, genuine, SONY PS3 controller. I would typically just head over to Amazon.com, click the model & color and then wait for delivery.

While I could see this happening with orders fulfilled by Amazon.com via 3rd party store fronts, it appears to be a problem with Amazon.com based orders also. What options or alternatives do I have that my $50+ controller is genuine SONY?

Civilization 4 Team Victory conditions

**How are the conditions of a team victory calculated?** It is clear that when playing a Team game of Civilization 4, teams win or lose together as a team. However, it is not clear how the target goals of these conditions are calculated, and it can be very time-consuming to attempt to determine this. Is a cultural victory triggered when the requisite number of legendary culture cities are achieved between all team members combined, or must they all belong to a single player? Do Civilizations on a team build their own collective Space Ship, or each build one separately? Are players voted for regarding Diplomatic victories collectively or separately? Please be specific - it's possible each type of victory may have a different answer.

I equipped my DH with a 1-handed bows, then I wanted to equip a stronger 2-handed bow. When I hovered over the bow the game showed a -56.1 change in damage if equipped, however when I equipped it, my damage went from 439.4 to 452.77, so it's obvious that the "hover over tool tip" was wrong. What is the source for this preference of 1-handed weapons over 2-handed? When the 1-handed bow is equipped: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/zXFYH.jpg) When the 2-handed bow is equipped: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GQ5IC.jpg) The set of skills (active & passive) that are chosen: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IOTKh.jpg) Stats for the quiver: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IRapk.jpg)


keep duplicate legendary heroes for tower garrison?

I have just received my 2nd paladin. Now you can't use 2 of the same heroes in battle, but i CAN garrison them both in towers. Any advice on best move? Should I keep them both or give huge amount of xp by consuming the 2nd one by my first?


How do I drop blocks instead of throwing them?

I'm pretty sure Dot explained this early on, but I missed that explanation.


Minecraft Map using excessive amount of RAM

I have a problem with my main map on my server (1.6.4) where it uses ~2GB ram and no players. I know it has something to do with the map as I can watch the ram usage skyrocket when the map starts to load. Other than "cannot keep up message" and the server crashing when it runs out of RAM, I am getting no warnings. I have tried to resolve this by:   * Replacing Bukkit 1.6.4 with stock Minecraft 1.6.4 (no mods at all)   * MCEdit says there are no chunk errors but does say the dimensions are 30,017,296L x 30,010,864W x 256H which is crazy.   * I used a utility to trim the map to 30K x 30k but MCEdit still says it is 30M square. Do you know of any utilities that can scan the map for additional problems? I know there are many redstone projects on the server but I am unsure if these are the cause.
