How to use the Beast of Burden Pig in RS?

I did the bringing home the bacon quest, and I got the carrying pig pet. Can this pet carry anything, or do i need the spirit one to hold anything.


Where can I find the Possession For Less upgrade?

While playing Bioshock Infinite, I came across a Vigor vending machine with the 2nd possession upgrade in it (lowers cost of using possession). I didn't have enough money, so I simply passed it by assuming I'd see it again. I've gone a long way (and now have enough money) and none of the subsequent vigor vendors have that specific upgrade. Did I miss it and will never be able to have it now? I read somewhere that the upgrades in the vending machines "stack" and once seen, they'll be available in later ones and that seems true for all of the rest, just not the one I want. Any insight would be appreciated. Edit: This is for the XBox 360 version in case this is a bug.

Who is the target of the Black Sacrament in Black-Briar Manor?

I picked the lock on a basement door in Black-Briar Manor and found the sacrificial ritual (Black Sacrament) setup inside. Is there a way to confront Maven Black-Briar about the ritual? Can I complete the assassination of the target?


What are the FEZ tetris codes for the PC?

Everywhere I search, I can't find the tetris codes for the PC. Could someone help me on this? I already know the directions, and I'm assuming left and right trigger are the equivalents of A and D, and I think A on XBOX is the ctrl equivalent, except this isn't working.


Is it a better idea to play The Missing Link DLC during Human Revolution or as a standalone game?

I've just reached Montreal in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and I have The Missing Link downloading in Steam right now. Does the DLC tie into the game, or do I need to launch it from outside Human Revolution? In either case, do you recommend playing it during the campaign at some point or after I finish Human Revolution? If you suggest the former, what is a good (spoiler-free description of the) time to play it?


What Effects exist and what does each Effect do?

Many of the skills indicate that they cause an **Effect** on the target stack. For example, _Storm Winds II_ states that creatures are "inflicted by the "Dazed" effect" and _Ice Armor_ "applies the "Chilled" effect to attackers". Is there a full list of these **Effects** and the effect (hah!) they have in the game?


What happened to the book of Earth?

I've recently been replaying the Myst series of games, and realized that the D'ni were actually supposed to be in a cavern on Earth. My understanding of the lore is that the original D'ni escaped to Earth by writing a descriptive book which allowed them to link to a cavern deep beneath the surface - they then wrote additional linking books allowing them to link back to D'ni from other Ages. So, what happened to the original descriptive book? Did they take it with them? If so, does that mean a descriptive book can describe the Age it occupies? This seems like an obvious hole in the lore to me.


Can I use a flash cartridge to play Atari games via an emulator on a Nintendo 3DS?

I have a 3DS and I want to install an Atari emulator to play some old games (Boulder Dash, River Rider). I have read that I need a flash cartridge(such as the R4), but I am still not sure how these carts work. My questions are:   1. Do I really need flash cartridge to play on an Atari emulator(I.E. StellaDS) on my 3DS?    2. Is it possible to run the emulator from an SD card?   3. Do I have to flash my 3DS with some special software to be able to run an emulator on a flash cartridge?

How do I improve the performance of my Minecraft server on a local network?

I run my own Minecraft server on our local network. It has a quadcore AMD Phenom II 955 CPU with 12 gigs of ram. This shouldn't be a bottleneck. The operating system is Windows Server 2012 Enterprise. Our internal network is 1 Gb/s and outgoing is 100 Mb/s down and 10 Mb/s up and around 20-30 ms ping with players. It is fine with one player. No block lag (when mined blocks don't appear back), lag when walking or anything. When a second player joins, on home network or from somewhere else, block lag and movement lag starts. I have allocated Java 4 GB of memory and I've set its priority to real time in Windows Task Manager. In case of one or five players, CPU usage stays at somewhat stable 20 % for Java. Why doesn't it take more power to help with the issues? What optimizations could I do?


Is there a way to play a game with some elements from "Empire of the Smoky Skies" scenario?

The "Empire of the Smoky Skies" scenario has a unique tech-tree (complete with unique units and buildings), unique social policies, unique leaders and unique victory conditions, as well as forced game speed and forced starting era. **Is there a way to play a game which uses only some of these elements?** For instance, can I play it starting from an earlier era, with a different game pacing, and with standard social policies, but with the same tech-tree, leaders and victory conditions? Or play it with standard leaders, but all the rest remaining the same?


Am I trapped in Velika?

I am at the part of the tutorial where I am supposed to leave Velika, but I don't have money to pay for the pegasus - slightly over 10 silvers. I took the tutorial armor crafting quest and spent all my money on materials which I have used up crafting the training armor. That training armor is not sellable and I ran out of cash because I could make enough of them to turn in for the quest. Am I stuck now? Is there another way (hopefully repeatable) to make money in Velika? Or do I have to sell the literal clothes off my character's back to get out?


Why am I unable to respawn in the campaign?

This doesn't happen 100% of the time but when I play arcade campaign with my other half and one of us dies, the count down to respawn stops at 0:01 and doesn't allow the player to respawn. I cannot take part in the rest of the chapter. When in this state and the other players transition to the next chapter, I am then standing out of the game world and the only option is to reload the game. Any ideas how to make this stop? I've looked through the official forums and couldn't find anything that helped. I thought it was to do with the fact I had the game installed on my Xbox but I have deleted it and its still happening.


When can I beat His Royal Ripeness?

I barely made it through the forced battle and he seems to have gotten significantly stronger now that he's just sitting around. It does seem like I should be able to beat him without doing the actual mission, since he's not invincible, he's just very strong. Should I just come back after I beat the game or is it feasible much earlier than that?

Can I eliminate low-res Texture Pop-in?

Borderlands 2 has an annoying "performance" trick where it first loads ugly, extremely low-resolution images over new items like Ammo or new guns before high-res textures are loaded over them. It's very noticeable. I'm running on a top-end rig with zero problems running all settings maxed, so it's not a setting in the normal video options. Since I'm on the PC version, is there some config file or video card setting magic I need to perform to fix these unsightly textures?


Do projectiles released by melee weapons deal melee, ranged or magic damage?

After the 1.2 update, there's a random Solar Eclipse event that causes hordes of powerful enemies to spawn. These enemies occasionally drop Hero's Broken Sword, which can be crafted with Excalibur and Night's Edge to create True Excalibur and True Night's Edge, then these 2 blades can be crafted with another Hero's Broken Blade to create the Terra Blade, the most powerful blade in the game. All 3 of these blades release energy projectiles when swung. Are these projectiles considered melee, ranged or magic damage for purposes of equipment bonuses and buffs?


Can anyone identify this compass mod?

This item is hinted at outside of the record store but I haven't obtained it in 5 playthroughs after getting all endings. How do I get the Personal Stereo? And, if it's not as easy as just selecting "use" in the menu, how do I listen to it for the trophy?


What is the best answer to early mutas in a TvZ game?

I am a Terran silver league player in the top 25. In my current TvZ games I get attacked by mutas very quickly, normally in the first 7 minutes. I normally try and go mass marine while tech switching to thors, but as thors are late game tech I never have enough to hold off an attack. What would be the best early game unit to combat mutas?


What determines the turn-order in combat?

Based on my limited experience with the demo of EOIV and EOU I'm aware that the order that party members and enemies take actions in combat is determined by some hidden value. Turn-Order has been mentioned by some skills, and I recall reading something in EOIV that spells reduce turn-order since they take time to cast. I'm looking for more details on what effects turn-order, along with how it actually works (i.e Do certain classes get a bonus to turn-order? Do certain weapons? et cetera). What determines the turn-order in combat, and what can influences the turn- order?


Feed The Beast pack won't start

How do axes and swords differ?

The Landskencht in **Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl** is able to specialize in either in either Swords or Axes. I'm able to get some idea of the differences between the set-ups based on the classes skill tree, but I'm curious how Axes and Swords themselves differ, independent of the skills. A quick look at the **Shileka's Goods** suggests that Axes have more damage than Swords, but do different types of damage. I'm not sure how different damage types differ, and my limited dataset would suggest that axes are superior to swords because of the additional damage. I'm assuming this isn't the case, and that there's more differences between the two to make them more balanced. How do axes and swords differ?


Things being destroyed on private server when no one is logged in

So I have a private server that I rent and run Minecraft on. Me and two others have access to it only. On two occasions I have logged on to find that some things have been destroyed. First time I found that several chests had been destroyed and most of my items were scattered on the floor. Today I found that a stair had been destoyed, just as if a creeper had exploded there. And inside my house there had been a few, just two or three, blocks that had been mined away (which caused a huge leak in my inside swimmingpool....) I'm sure none of the others had anything to do with this, so I'm wondering if the mobs are playing around in my house and messing with my stuff when I'm not around?


Why has a player's castle became nothing but ruin?

I attacked a player a while back who was near me (so i could get my troops back) to complete the quest which required me to attack a city. When i was looking around recently to see who was around me and their strength i notices where a player was now a destroyed city, when i went to espionage or attack i get a message saying that nothing lives there and there is only ruin. I am wondering what happened? did i play a hand in that?


Finding items for building new facilities at base

I'm trying to build a garden, but now they tell me I need a rake. There's a magnifying glass on my map, that seems to say there's a rake there, but it's in the middle of nowhere. There's nothing there. Am I supposed to do something special there? While there, looking for the rake, they call me again, and say we need kitchen hinges. Again, a magnifying glass shows, in the middle of nowhere.

Do certain buddy missions in Far Cry 2 lock out other ones?

I've been playing Far Cry 2 on Infamous (hardest) difficulty. (It really gives you an appreciation for tactics.) I've kept all my buddies alive, Flora is my best buddy and Warren is my rescue buddy. I've also saved Quarbani and Michele, and they're currently chilling in Mike's Bar. They both offered me a mission at the same time - I ignored Michele to do Quarbani's mission because it seemed quicker, with the idea that I'd come back and do Michele's afterwards. But after I returned to Mike's and reported in to Quarbani, Michele no longer offered that mission. **Did I miss it forever, or will she offer it again later?**


How do I sell beer in a New Game+?

I beat Fiz! Hooray! Time to double back with a New Game + and take on the pesky challenges that I missed! Only one problem. I've started a new game, made my first batch of beer... And there's nowhere for me to sell it: ![No markets](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KLd3R.jpg) I can do research on this non-market (apparently it's My Bodega and they like Lager), but there's no button to sell my beer there. Nor, for that matter, are there any other markets - even though my first batch was of such high quality that I got a bunch of alerts about how I'd unlocked a stack of new marketplaces. I also tried waiting until I ran out of money paying salaries, and restarting with a fresh New Game+ multiple times with no luck. What gives? How can I sell my delicious, delicious beer?


Hide Dota 2 Losses From Profile?

I understand losses are hidden from other people viewing my profile, but is it possible to hide the losses for myself? I can't seem to find an option to toggle it in the settings, but perhaps there's something I can edit or comment out in the config files? I know I'm terrible, I just don't want to be reminded that I am every time I visit my profile page. Cheers.

Can Gun Runner's Arsenal Mods be attached to any weapon in Fallout New Vegas

I brought a couple of Mods for an Anti-Material Rifle and they have a `(Gun Runners Arsenal)` label in the Pipboy but i can attach the mods, i did pick up the gun in a location that was added via a Quest Mod that i installed but i'm wondering whether i need a weapon with the same `(Gun Runners Arsenal)` label on it to equip these mods or if it's because this Quest Mod added an Anti- Material Rifle which is different from the regular one

Is it possible to "import" a Saints Row 2 character into SR3?

_I realize I could answer this for myself by spending an hour or two withImage as Designed and the Initiation Station, but I'm hoping someone already has the answer._ While there isn't any way to directly import characters from Saints Row 2 into Saints Row: The Third, the character customization for both games is very similar. But are they similar enough? Would using the same values for each customization parameter produce the same face? Do they even have all the same parameters?

Is it possible to give a player a cape? Either so only I can see the cape, or everyone on the server can see it. Mods or texture pack editing are fine. It is important that only a single player has the cape, rather than everyone having a cape.

What do I have to do to unlock activities in other parts of Steelport?

One of the things I enjoy about the Saints Row series is the side activities: Insurance Fraud and that kind of thing. I'd like to play more of them, but right now I only have activities unlocked in one area, the central Morning Star-controlled area. (Nine of sixteen are currently unlocked.) The other parts of town have 0 of 15, 0 of 13, and 0 of 12 unlocked. What do I have to do to unlock activities in other parts of town? I've completed 9 missions overall: the last one was Trafficking. Do I have to complete more missions or more activities? Do I have to reach a certain level of respect? Can someone help a fellow Saint out?


Are there negative effects for wasting time?

In Skyrim, you can sleep or wait for up to a day at a time. Is there any negative consequences to wasting time like this? Do certain quests expire or certain conditions happen after several days (or even weeks) have passed that can be considered negative? Obviously temporary buffs expire, but that happens after one day.


Out of sector combat in X3: how can I tell my ships to evade enemies?

As noted in a related question, out of sector combat can be a source of heartache and hassle. In building my budding mercantile empire, I don't want to lose ships if I can avoid it. I am aware of the MK3 Blacklist Manager and the emergency jump command but that's not exactly what I'm looking for:   * Blacklisting a sector is great for telling the ships "don't go into this war sector." It's less useful in areas that are super useful / profitable but where maybe sometimes there's going to be a Xenon raid.   * Emergency jump is great as a last-ditch getaway but is too late if the enemy overwhelms you on the first salvo. What I'd really like is to be able to tell a freighter "If an enemy M6 closes to within 10 KM, evade / change course / jump away." I'd settle for "If you pick up a Big Bad at long range, jump away immediately." Is this even possible within the existing suite of commands? If not, is there a close-to-official mod that will give me a similar command set?


Do area dots cast by players stack in Diablo 3?

I found a similar question to this, but I'm not sure the answer applies here. The question asks if DOT damage stacks (specifically single target debuffs) and I'm wondering if area effects that deal DOT, like the poison trail left behind by the Witch Doctor's Zombie Charger or his Acid Cloud, can stack. Enemies that take damage from these area skills aren't affected by a "debuff" which duration can be extended, so I'm thinking the area damage skills may stack where they overlap each other. Please confirm/disprove my theory

How many sims fit in a car?

I'm trying to work up a plan for traffic in my city, and I think it's easy enough for me to figure out how many cars can make it through a stopsign unopposed in an hour, and how many cars can make it through a stoplight opposed in an hour... but it's all for naught as I don't know how many workers are in a car. I know that low wealth, high density residential buildings have 400 workers, 200 shoppers and 100 students. What I don't know: how many cars does that turn into?

How to unlock characters and stages in Super Smash Land?

It starts with 4 available characters (Mario, Kirby, Link, Pikachu), half of the available stages in versus mode. I know that finishing once the arcade mode will unlock the Mega Man stage. But what must I do to unlock the other stages? And how to unlock the characters? And the Endless mode (currently grayed-out in the main menu)?


How to handle jellies?

Every time you attack a jelly, it splits. A typical yellow jelly can split ~8 times. All jelles will obviously attack you at the same time if they can, so great care must be taken in setting up the fight; even then it is hard to keep the numbers under control. If you stay in a corridor one wide, eventually the jellies will also split _behind_ you and you'll be again under attack from two sides.                                         <40% health      ########     ########     ########      ...J@...  →  ..JJ@...  →  ..JJ@J..      ########     ########     ########      How to dispatch jellies properly?

Can I buy rockets?

I note that my rocket ammo does not respawn with Gunzerking, and I rarely find any in crates and such. I've checked the ammo vending machine and it does not have any. Is it possible to buy rockets, or are they found only? Where is a good place to find them.


Why should I gear for Vitality?

I'm starting out Torchlight 2 and I can't help but think that Vitality seem like such a wasted investment. It gives about 3.5 health per point. 100 here is about 350 health. I found several items that gave about 250 a piece around character level 25-30. There's also the increase of about 2.6% defense per 5 points. But again unless I'm stacking up a LOT of resistance this doesn't seem to help much, especially since armor is random between 50% to 100%. The only valuable characteristic seems to be the block chance. But characters like Embermage is pretty much built for dual wielding wands or 2 handing staves anyways.


How do I use directed taunts?

While exploring around the wiki I noticed in the voice sample section there is a "directed taunt" section for many of the gods. Example (scroll down) How do I activate these taunts? EDIT: I noticed that Geb has a directed taunt at Nut, who isn't implemented into the game yet. That leads me to believe Directed taunts in general arent fully implemented? Geb Voicelines

Tips on Preventing Red Ring of Death

I have an Xbox 360, and hope to have it for a long time. What are some long- term solutions for preventing the famous Red Ring of Death from occuring?


Similarities and differences between redstone and electrical wiring

How is redstone different from electric wiring, and how are they similar? How far is it possible to describe one in terms of another (with certain allowances)? Their mechanics definitely _seem_ to be similar enough for this question to arise. For example, from what I could gather, a redstone repeater seems like a diode+optional adjustable capacitor combo. There's a whole lot of information out there on electrics—if one knows how to quickly translate that to redstone, I guess this could allow one to build very cool installations without much trial-and-error.

Restore game progress state before Facebook connection

My girlfriend has an Android phone and plays Candy Crush Saga. She was level 140 on her phone and level 20 on Facebook. Both game states were not connected! However, she decided to **connect her Android candy crush with Facebook** , which **synced the Facebook state of the game to the phone**. She is now level 20 in both states which is pretty sad. **How can we get the game state back to level 140?** Disconnecting from Facebook did not solve the problem. I don't think she backed up her phone at any point.


Does wake up club only have a super short alarm?

I've been trying to use Wake Up Club, the first day went alright but since then the alarm seems to only ring for ten seconds or less before saying it's too late. It's totally unusable at that point. Is this because I have a bad group or something or is there a way to change the timer or what?


Do villages need to be prosperous to start a great project?

When attempting the Divided Planet development, much of my work was preventing the villages from destroying each other due primarily from their greed from failed Great Projects. Now I am looking at the Mass Production development and wondering how I could prevent six villages once again from murdering each other. If I can control when villages start their great projects, I could avoid the World Wars and stick to small land skirmishes. I have noticed that if I leave a village with very little, they tend not to start a great project even if they have an upgraded project. What causes a village to start a great project? Does the village require a certain level of prosperity to start the great project? How much?


How do I keep from bleeding to death after I punch this window?

I'm playing Cryptozookeeper. I need to retrieve an ape, and circumstances suggest the correct course of action is to punch this window so that I can break into the facility where it's being held. As soon as I do so, my companions are aghast, and I begin bleeding profusely. At this point, I only have a few turns to address my medical condition. I've tried checking the room for medical supplies, but all I've found is a receipt in a filing cabinet. Before getting too much further, I bleed to death. How do I keep this from happening? Is there a better way into the building?

Why are there extended range scopes for shotguns?

I've recently been tooling around with the shotguns. I was kind of surprised to see that there are some long range scopes available. Especially for a weapon with such a limited range. Does anyone have/use these upgrades for the shotgun and are they even worth using?

How can I change the language in Skyrim?

I've bought the game today in Germany and was told it comes in German and maybe in English. Both languages would be fine for me, however when I installed the game it was all in French. Now my PS3 is set up to be in English so I'm not sure why it started up in French. Is there any way to change the language?


Better alternative to tab targeting?

Decided to start playing through all the classes from scratch to experience firsthand the changes that 5.0.4 have wrought. I'm now up to a Warlock, and I've become painfully reminded of just how inconsistent (and sometimes, lethal) tab-targeting can be. That being said, is there some sort of mod out there (or heck, even in-game fix that I'm missing) that'd make DOT'ing things up a bit less tricky and less hunt (through the mayhem of a mass of mobs)-and-clicky? Gotta spread the Corruption a lit more uniformly amongst the masses! A good example of something similar would be Decursive, a neat li'l mod I used on the healing side to streamline decursifyin' things back in the day.


Gifs in Grepolis make my computer lag, any way to fix?

His body has stayed on the table as a souvenir, will I be able to keep him?


How do I build a courthouse in a captured city?

I captured an enemy city, and my advisors informed me that the city will produce a lot of unhappiness until I build a courthouse there. However, the production in the city is 0, so no actual progress is being made. I don't have the option to buy the Courthouse either (all options under Purchase are grayed out, despite having more than enough gold). So how am I supposed to build a courthouse?


Does the White Tanooki Suit work the same in the Special worlds?

I finished the main story of Super Mario 3D Land, and am working on the Special world levels now. I die a lot (the levels are harder!), but I never seem to die enough in a level to have the White Tanooki Leaf appear so I can use the White Tanooki Suit. Do I need to die more times in the Special Levels? Or does it not appear there? Or am I just not counting how many times I die properly?

What is the best way to take out a sectopod?

I just ran into my first sectopod map today and it utterly destroyed me. From what I can tell, it had a long range aoe attack and a super deadly beam cannon. The little drones hovering around it and repairing doesn't help either. What are its attack patterns and what is the best way to take one out? Does it take multiple turns to charge up an attack? What are its weaknesses?

Why do online players of Carcassonne always win, is there a strategy?

At home and with friends I'm a pretty good player of the boardgame and app of Carcassone, but every time when I try an online opponent I keep losing, because it seems they alway get the right tiles. Is there a strateqy behind it by knowing the algorithm in which order the app will present the next tile? For example, with the last 10-15 cards they always manage to get 2 or 3 extra people in the fields by getting just the right tiles. In the regular boardgame this rarely happens. Does the iPad version of the game give out tiles deterministically?

Can I restore my rank level back to where it was before a hacked Modern Warfare 2 server changed it?

I ended up in a hacked server. One of the hacks was - if you die by your own hand (such as falling off a skyscraper in my case) your rank (at your current prestige level) becomes 70. While this is advantagous in that it partially unlocked things I wanted (ninja pro, claymores) so that I could earn them. It means that a) I'm not earning xp as I play and b) I am level 70 without things fully unlocked. (When I refer to 'partially' and 'fully' I mean that a partially unlocked thing means I still have to complete a challenge to get it, but it is 'unlocked' for my level. Fully unlocked means I have it. I can use it) Is there a way to restore my account back to where it was (about level 15 third prestige)

Gothic 2 demo won't run on Windows 7, nothing happens when opening it

I downloaded the Gothic II demo from here and installed it on my Dell Inspiron N5010 which is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. It seemed to go smoothly. However, when I double-click the shortcut nothing happens. I've tried:   * restarting my computer   * running the game directly from the exe   * running it as administrator   * running it in XP compatibility mode   * switching off my AV (avast!)   * uninstalling and reinstalling the demo   * changing my res to 800x600, which did work for someone else No go. I don't know if this is helpful to know, but the exe does not appear in my task manager's processes as it does for some other people who have had similar problems. Any ideas? Edit: Actually the exe does appear briefly in processes before dying quietly.


What new content does City of Heroes: Going Rogue have for existing toons?

Can anyone run through what changes this expansion makes to the game? I have a number of existing characters and I am unable to find any information about how the new content works for existing characters.

So does anyone know what changes have been made or how they work with the existing characters?

My son was playing _Mega Man 9_ this afternoon and it reminded me of its insane in-game achievments, the two most extreme being:   * **Invincible** : Clear the game without dying.   * **Jitterbug** : Clear the game in 60 minutes or less. **Has anyone ever earned these achievements?** Is there any proof (e.g., video, etc).


Creating cantilevers in Minecraft

I found an elevated place in Minecraft and would like to expand its borders. However it seems I can't add a block adjacent to a surface without being able to see that surface, and on an elevated area this means I'll have to be off of the area in order to accomplish this. Is there a way to create a cantilever- like structure, specifically, a way to extend a 'floating island'?

What is the thinest layer of sand that will still produce desert biome?

In terraria, _biomes_ are defined by the blocks that are around. Specifically for desert, you can see on Wiki: > A desert is considered a desert as long as there are at least 1000 sand > blocks However it does not specify the range in which the blocks are being counted. If I were to create a desert by laying the sand on the ground, I need to know how thick the layer must be so that it makes 1000 blocks in the checking range. If the game checked rectangular area of 1000x1000 blocks the layer would need to be 1 block high.


Can't join any servers at all on CS:GO

So I bought CS:GO yesterday when it was on sale and left it to download over night. Today, I opened it up to play, did the usual first-time setup stuff and then got into the game. I tried the weapons course to see what had changed from CS:S and then went on to play a game with others. I tried the "Find Game" option for a bomb mission and after a couple of minutes of searching the pop- up said Creating server.... then Joining server.... but it never did. I opened the console while it was Joining and there were lines continuously generated saying that it tried to reserve a certain IP adress but it failed after three tries and that went on for many addresses. So I thought it was a matchmaking problem and went to the community servers and joined a random one. It never did and it kicked me out after 10 retries. I tried to join multiple servers with no luck. If could guide me into some troubleshooting steps I would be grateful. Thanks in advance,George. P.S: Things I have already tried : Verify local cache,reinstall,restart client,game and pc,all of my ports are open because of a DMZ host, tried increasing the maximum ping allowed to 350,checked to see if I was opted on some beta program but I wasn't. By the way, while joining games the errors in the console included some missing vgui content and some things about STEAM Sockets.

Is there a glitch in the quest Revealing the Unseen?

I'm at the portion of the "Revealing the Unseen" quest (from the College of Winterhold) where I have to go to Mzulft and enter the ruins. However, when I try to interact with Gavros Plinius, the man slumped on the floor to the right when I enter the ruins, I cannot enter a conversation with him. According to the guide, as soon as I talk to him he should mutter some hint about the quest and drop a key that lets me through the door ahead. I've tried talking to him, attacking him, pickpocketing him, and none of these things work. I've done other quests and then returned to try again, but still I'm unable to interact with him and get the key to enter the ruins. What can I do to continue this quest?

Is there a way to browse the Rift store without activating the game?

I know that in Rift's main website they have a link which displays options for purchasing credits, patron, and a few other features. Inside of the game however the Rift store displays a greater amount of different items that you can purchase such as mounts, extra bag slots, extra crafting profession slots, etc. Is there any way other than being inside of the game to view the store and see what the prices for things like what I mentioned above are?

If I have a decent amount of magic find and a monster was going to drop a Chipped Ruby, is it possible for the magic find to update it to a Flawed? Or it is based solely on the difficulty level you are on and the static drop rates of gems?


How does one upgrade a Subtle Essence into a Shimmering Essence?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Is it possible to “upgrade” the crafting materials? My question is as it reads in the title, how do you upgrade the Normal-mode crafting Essence (Subtle) into the Nightmare crafting Essence (Shimmering)? There are hints on various wikis and forum posts stating that the Subtle Essences can be re-crafted or reforged into Shimmering Essences...but no direct answer as to how I should go about it. I would assume there is a special blacksmithing recipe that you either purchase or acquire from Haedrig in order to craft it but again, I have found nothing of that sort thus far. To clarify: I know that item levels 1-30 drop Subtle Essences after salvaging, and I know that item levels 31-50 drop Shimmering Essences after salvaging. What I am interested in **converting Subtle Essences into Shimmering Essences**. Is it even possible, or is this notion outdated (left over from the beta)? Just an incorrect assumption?


How do I "narrowly avoid" a shot?

There are Treasure Hunt panels with the condition "Narrowly avoid a total of 5 (or 25, or 50) shots in Air Battles."

What kind of maneuvering counts as narrowly avoiding a shot?

What are the classes that can be played as the Tank role?

I'm about to create a new character in RO2 and I want to play the Tank role. I was going to create a `SWORDMAN - Warrior` because this part of his description > Warriors are experienced mercenaries who have honed their skills on > countless battlefields. > > They carry great swords and **are capable of skillfully defending themselves > from enemy attacks.** Their experience allows them to mow down enemies on > the battlefield as though it were second nature. But, the `SWORDMAN - Knight` has a good point too > Knights are heavily trained through the Prontera Knights’ strict education > and strongly values rules and principles. > > They know how to handle ‘auras’ skillfully through systematic battle > training and also **can use their shields as a battle skill.** Being able to do it, should show a "off-tank" type, in my opinion. * * * Then I asked a friend of mine and he said that besides this two options there are also the `ARCHER - Beastmasters` and the `Acolyte - Monk` that are being used as tank. * * * It's true this affirmation or even viable? Who is the "true" tank on RO2? Class list


Are Phantom's barriers weaker in the back?

According to the Javik/Unique dialogue wiki: > During the battle with the Phantoms, Javik remarks that the Phantoms' > barriers appear to be unidirectional and suggests they shoot them in the > backs. But this is not a strategy noted in the wiki entry for phantom tactics. Is this an actual game mechanic/weakness for battling phantoms? Or will attacking them from behind (while they have barriers up) still inflict the same amount of damage? Also, I assume that this would only apply to weapon-based attacks and not biotic and tech powers that effect barriers, correct?


What strategies work well against the three hardmode bosses?

I currently have all the best gears available without the souls that is needed to craft the hallowed armor and weapons that is dropped from the hardmode bosses. However I am having trouble beating the three bosses. I either die before I can kill them or it turns into morning and they disappear because they have so much health I have trouble killing them fast enough. Currently gear when fighting the boss:   * Full (Helmet) Adamantite armor set    * Accessories include:      * Star Cloak     * Angle Wings     * Spectre Boots     * Titan Gloves     * Obsidian Shield   * Legendary Night's Edge (melee)   * Unreal Phoenix Blaster (ranged usually with the silver bullets as the ammo)   * A bunch of Greater healing potions **Are there any strategies that work well against the bosses?** **When is the earliest I can summon the bosses so I can utilize the full duration of time that is given to me to fight the bosses?** **What changes can I make to my item build? Is there any gear (that doesn't require the souls dropped by these bosses) that works particularly well against the bosses?**

Why did I die when my car exploded?

In the middle of a 5 star fight with the Morningstar, I hopped into one of my tricked out rides and lead the gang members on an exciting car chase filled with gunfire and vehicular mayhem. I had just bought the "Damage - Explosions 4" upgrade, which supposedly makes me immune to explosion damage. As my Saint's purple car caught fire, I quickly went to exit the vehicle, but I was too late. The car exploded anyways and I woke up in a hospital, my wallet $500 lighter. **Was it because I was in the process of exiting my car that caused SR3 to glitch, or is car explosion damage a whole different type of damage?**

How do I destroy the Tiamat?

In the mission "Proving Grounds" of Freespace 2's base campaign, there's this one middle-class enemy ship that flies in, designation "Tiamat". And, well... **it's a pain to destroy**. The game insists that I have to stay within scanning range of the ship in order for my allied ship to fire its lasers at the Tiamat, but on one test run I spent the entire mission inside this nice little cove where one of its subsystems was conveniently located firing torpedos into its hull. If that's not proximity, I don't know what is. Here's a diagram representing my woes:               ALLIED SHIP              TIAMAT (NOT DEAD)     ________     |      |===============\________________________     |      |===============/|                      |     |      |                | __                   |     |______|                | |_| ME (practically  |                             |________inside ship)__|      Is there some kind of trick I'm missing here or something? How do I destroy the Tiamat?

Is there a way to know which levels lead to secret areas/have switches in them?

I found my first level with a switch in it (Level 3-1), and it was pretty easy to see (I just had to figure out how to get to it). However, I suspect that this might not always be the case. Is there a way to know, ahead of starting a level, if it has a secret switch in it or not?


Does having the Hi-Jump Copy Ability help with the end of level game?

I got the Hi-Jump ability near the end of a level, and promptly lost it. But that got me thinking - I often struggle with the end of level "game" - basically, a jump off of a trampoline type thing for points. I never get past the first few floors, so I never get many points. Does having the Hi-Jump ability make this any easier? Will it help me go higher?

How can I change from being a murderous cretin?

I used this as a moment of catharsis for Corvo, and started to creep around, trying to get my Chaos back to the good side.

How to have two players on one keyboard in Monaco?

I've found a thread that explains how to do it. It involves simply downloading a couple of files, placing them in the appropriate folder and running the game. However, I can't make it work on Linux. Naturally, I've adapted the instructions and placed the files at `~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Monaco`, but I can't get this to work. I also have an Xbox 360 wired gamepad plugged in. I have tried setting it as Player 1 or Player 2 and keyboard as 1, 2, 3 or 4, but nothing seems to work. Actually, I'm starting to think the thread solution is not gonna work at all because one of those files is a `.dll`, which AFAIK will not work on Mac or Linux.

After completing a large number of researches in Stronghold Kingdoms, the time needed increases substantially. Right now, it takes me 9 hours. Are there any ways to speed up the process?


Is the German (DE) version of Dishonored low-violence / censored?

I just got a copy of Dishonored (DE) on Steam. The German (DE) version of Dishonored can be unlocked from any country; however, is it any different from the version bought in other countries? For other games, such as Saints Row 2, Counter-Strike Source, and even Team Fortress 2, the German version has ridiculous censorship. However, according to a number of posts online _(1, 2, 3, 4)_, the German version of Dishonored **isn't** censored at all. Most of these posts, though, were from before the game was actually released, and they're all anecdotal or second-hand. So, **are there any confirmed sources that state whether the German version is or isn't censored?**


What level are these Griffens?

I was playing Here Be Monsters, and I came across son unusual Griffen's, my Griffens are lvl 5 and on the right while the weird unknown level ones are on the left, basically I want to know what level they are because they are far better than mine. ![Screenshot From In-Game](http://i.stack.imgur.com/1rUIP.jpg)


Is there any way to skip the tutorial city in SimCity?

You're stuck playing through the tutorial city whenever switching regions. Quitting the tutorial city doesn't skip it, and I'm not seeing anything else. Have any tricks up your sleeve? Edit: quitting the city does appear to be working for other people


Reincarnating with gold talents

If I reincarnate to another house and choose a gold fealty talent for my permanent point, will I be able to train the other 7 levels using normal points or will I have to repeatedly reincarnate for that?


Does it make any difference if I choose the Bird or the Cage?

I was wondering, does choosing the Bird or Cage Pendant in Bioshock Infinite change the game in ANY way (aside from which pendant Elizabeth wears around her neck for the rest of the game)? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Gghkn.jpg) I've read some people say that they didn't notice any differences, but does anyone know for sure?


What happened to my minecraft world?

I have this one minecraft world that was on survival that I always played on. Then one day, I played on a snapshot; I opened my castle world on accident, but now all my chests are empty, and paintings and item frames are on the floor. My animals are still there, but I have no items at all, even my armor is gone. I tried replacing the world with a back up copy, but its the same issue.


borderlands 2 skill tree blue "training" requirements

Borderlands 2, in the skill tree certain skills will be highlighted blue depending on the character's level. It says more points will be granted provided training is completed. What is this training the game is referring to?


Can someone explain the difference between minecraft maps and worlds?

I have two Minecraft Bukkit SMP server instances on my host and I understand there's a default "world" included with each instance. I've read about multi- world support in future versions of Bukkit or Minecraft, but at the moment, I believe I'm stuck with a single "map" for each world. Am I missing something or am I currently limited to a single world (and a single map) on each server?


Why does Ghandi want to nuke me?

Different civilizations obvioulsy have different priorities. For example, Ghandi always seems to rush nuke technology and the Mongols will most likely start invading and spread like mad. Are these variables public knowledge? Can you tell by who you are playing what strategy they will adopt during the game?


What happens when a wall breaker hits a double-layered wall?

I've seen several players making double-walls. I sent a wall-breaker and destroyed both layers. So, my questions are: If you have a double-layered wall, and a wall-breaker hits it, does the internal wall receive less damage? What if you make a gap of one tile between the two walls? Or do wall-breakers simply do the same damage over some area, regardless of the distance? In short, how effective are double-walls against wall-breakers?


Is there a way to always find witch huts

I have been searching for ages in my swamp, but I can't find a witch hut and I don't know how how to build one. Does anyone know of a surefire(100% acurate) way to find witch huts?


How can I change my profession?

My profession gives me weekly bonuses to my Persuasion skill, but it also mentions that if my Persuasion skill is above 70, it is time to choose a new profession. I am getting close to that point, so I figure I should think about changing my profession. How do I go about doing that?


Good ships for flag ship

Is there anyway to play a slideshow of photos saved on a USB stick on the Wii U? If not, can it be done with an SD card? I remember being able to look at photos on the original Wii, but cannot find out how to on the Wii U.


How do I break the yellow block surrounded by grey blocks in World 3-1?

In the third and last Bowser stage (World 3-1) of _Paper Mario: The Thousand- Year Door_ , there is a yellow block that is surrounded by unbreakable grey blocks and seems to be impossible to break. If Bowser is large or huge, he still cannot break the grey blocks protecting the yellow one, and his flame-breath does not reach the yellow block. If Bowser is small enough to fit under the grey-block shield, his flame-breath is too weak to break it, and there is not enough room to jump on it. (To be clear, I have tried all of the sizes that Bowser can be.) What the heck is in that block and how do you break it‽      ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6GS2I.jpg) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/w678b.jpg)


What is that ASCII Art From the Portal Credits

The end credits to _Portal_ include a bunch of ASCII art, but one of them is really hard to make out. The one below looks like some sort log-cake or something. I’ve tried resizing it up and down, but it did not make it any clearer. My best guess (if I really squint and stretch my imagination) is that it is supposed to be one of GLaDOS’s spheres. Can anyone shed some light on what it is supposed to be?      ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2tlHl.png)


Why won't my companion follow me into Nightcaller Temple?

It seems a little weird, but maybe I'm missing something. Lydia is my current companion and won't "naturally" follow me into the temple. I went back outside to check, and yep -- she's standing right by the door. I have tried to help her to enter by issuing a direct command but she tells me can't. (I haven't tested whether this works in general, though.) Is this a glitch or a gameplay element -- maybe the 'arcane/evil' factor of the place combined with my 'unmagic' follower or something?


Are cupboards safe in my house?

I know chests are safe, the items that I put there will stay forever. Is that also true for cupboards? Because I like to separate chests according to the item category.


Can I get Steam to stop annoying me with notifications that I've earned a nickel?

Steam has trading cards. Great. Now I have a bunch of nigh-worthless digital bits to get rid of. Fortunately, the Market provides an easy way to do that! I can recoup pennies on the dollar from the cost of my poor choices during a given Steam sale by selling the trading cards! However, since they're only worth a nickel or three, I don't really care that any given card has sold. I _do_ however, want to know when the occasional valuable item sells for a buck or three, and I also don't want to just blacklist the email address to my spam folder, because it's the same address that Important Things like receipts for my ill-advised purchases comes from. Is there any way to get Steam to throttle these notifications so that my phone will stop beeping every 9 seconds with a notification that my FTL card that I never cared about has sold for 12 cents?


Can I get Skyrim to remember my custom keybindings?

When I change a key in Skyrim, upon restart Skyrim it doesn't seem to have remembered that change. This is not the result of crashing, I just properly exit Skyrim from the menu. Some keys (like `J` for Journal) are a bit out of reach, while I frequently want to look what quest I have to do next without having to go and press `J` to get to the quests and the even further `M` (on Azerty) to get to the maps. There are still some keys available for me in the left half of the keyboard, I would prefer using them instead. But apparently, rebinding the keys only works until I exit Skyrim... Is there a fix to this bug?

After I plant the bomb, how long do the Counter-Terrorists have before it explodes?


What triggers merchants to change their inventory?

So in the normal run of the game, it seems that the merchants always change their inventory when you come back to town. But if you leave town and come right back, they do not necessarily change. To try and find out, I loaded up my Engineer, checked the Armorer and the Gem seller, walked out of town, and then waited 30 seconds before re-entering. I came in, checked their inventories, and left, which took about 20 seconds each time. That's a 50 second cycle, but I waited a full minute on my first town exit. The stated times include load screens (about 2 seconds in either direction; I started lap timers the moment load screens appeared). It came to be that the gem seller changed just after 7 minutes and the armorer changed just before 8 minutes. In terms of time spent "outside" the town, gems reset at 4m45s minutes and armor reset at 5m45s. I did nothing else beyond what was stated above. Just moved my character to change screens and clicked on the two merchants I was checking. **This leads me to believe that time is the only factor in deciding when merchants reset, but can anyone continue this testing and determine an exact requirement?** Here is my data in an Excel spreadsheet. If anyone needs me to save it in an older Excel format, just let me know.


Why did all my item frames turn to detached entities?

On the latest snapshot (14w04b), my giant map made of smaller maps and item frames fell off the wall: ![Floating entities](http://i.stack.imgur.com/EJ7cc.jpg) This is happening to all item frames across the map. What is causing this, and how do I prevent it from happening again? (Also, these all turned to stone entities when I reloaded the save).


Why are you forced to play without your follower against diablo when playing solo?

Why does the follower get trapped just before the battle with diablo? If you play in a coop game you can face diablo with other players at the same time, but when playing solo the game forces you to play the last battle alone. Is there any specific reason for that?


Last save point in Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals

I was wondering where the last save point in Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals (SNES) was, what the latest point is you can can go back there to save your progress, and whether you can return to the overworld again (In games like Golden Sun you're stuck in the final town if you save just before the final credits).

Going for Religious Dominance in Civilisation 5: Gods and Kings

Ive played Civ 5: Gods and Kings many times now, and I'm interested in playing a game where I can get religious dominance.

Ways of spreading it faster and further, and potentially useful religious beliefs that I can reap the rewards from once my religions have spread far and wide.


How do I get the Combat Engineer ribbon?

I am trying to get the "Combat Engineer" ribbon in Horde 2.0 mode of Gears of War 3. The gears wiki says > Combat Engineer: Build, repair, and or upgrade 5 fortifications during wave- > half time. I am playing gears by myself and have purchased 5 different items in between waves numerous time but I never seem to get this ribbon (I have received it once but don't remember when). Does it only count if I buy barriers? Or can I buy decoys and turrets as well? Do I have to be playing co-op with someone else or can I get the ribbon while playing by myself? Does it matter which map I use? Just general help on what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.


Ending of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood question

This is regarding the ending of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. I have marked the question below as a spoiler, so please do not hover over it if you haven't played through the game yet! > At the end of the game, Desmond is forced to kill Lucy. Prior to him > stabbing her, you basically button-mash until he makes the strike. Is there > an alternate ending or a way to avoid killing her, such as a sequence of > buttons to break free? For context, I have only recently finished Brotherhood, and have not begun Revelations yet, so I'd appreciate any answers that avoid future-game content.


Will mobs despawn when moved by water?

I am working on a big project where I need to move mobs pretty far using a water system. They wont see light at all. Will they despawn after some time? Im guessing the tour will take about 3-4 mins.


Do Cave Spider Spawners work by a different set of rules than other Monster Spawners?

During exploration of an Abandoned Mineshaft I found a Cave Spider Spawner. Nothing odd or special about it, but coincidentally my seed has apparently spawned a Dungeon two blocks from it. A Skeleton Dungeon to be specific. Sweet right? So, I figured I'd torch out the Cave Spider Spawner, and farm the Skeleton Spawner for Bones and Arrows. Except, it doesnt work. I max torched the Spider Spawner, and it still spawns Spiders. This is what I did to the Spider Spawner: $ =Spawner   @ =Torches @@@   @ $ @   @@@ With a torch placed directly on top of the spawner to boot.   -.-    I still get spiders. I don't want spiders.   Please make the spiders go away. _Do Cave Spider Spawners work differently than Normal Monster Spawners?_ Edit: I should note that I do not want to destroy the Cave Spider Spawner, I'm aware that this can be done but its not my objective nor is 'finding a way to make the spider spawner stop' my purpose behind this question. What I'm asking is if the _rules_ behind the Cave Spider are different than the _rules_ behind the other spawners.


Where do I connect a road to?

I'm trying to plan out my new fortress before I start construction, but I'm not sure where the road must go. I'd like to ensure that I don't need to construct a road right across the entire map. Is there any particular edge that wagons always arrive from? Can they come from any edge? Or is it simply the case that wherever I build it is where they will come from?


Does turning the flags to gold unlock anything?

In Super Mario 3D Land if you land right on the top of the flag pole (so that Mario does a sort of one-handed handstand), you get a 1-up. I also noticed that the Mario flag that goes up is gold instead of red. Does it unlock anything if you get all gold flags in a world/the whole game? Or is it just a nice aesthetic change from red because you got a 1-up?


My brother on the east coast recently got my family into Minecraft. There's only one catch to us really enjoying playing with him on his favorite public server: Foul language. Several of the players on this server swear casually and this is something I'm not exposing my family to. Right now we're playing on a server I set up on my LAN but would like to play on my brother's server if we can. How can I set up a language filter for Minecraft?


What are the differences in gameplay between Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3?

I'm not asking for an opinion of which is better, but rather, what are the ACTUAL differences between the two games gameplay? they are very similar, how do they differ? Does one have killstreaks and the other a different system that's similar? Do both have weapon customisation that allows you to enter matches with different load-outs, or do you start with default equipment in one?


Battlefield 3: Is there any way to set up a key binding so that when entering a vehicle you go directly to the second seat?

This would prevent some awkward moments getting in and out of tanks, like when both driver and gunner get out to repair at the same time. Edit: To clarify:   1. This question is for PC.    2. I already know that once in the vehicle you can move around between seats with the function keys. This is for avoiding those few seconds lost when both driver and gunner go out to repair and get back in in the wrong order. In those cases, one person needs to get out in order to let the other switch seats, which is an annoying, and a semi-frequent occurrence if you're in the habit of forming stable Driver/Gunner teams. Basically, if I know I want to be in the gunner seat, then why force me to get in the driver seat first?


How can I do a 300-yard drift?

My current racer Speedlist (rank 18 "Drive") tells me to perform a single drift of at least 300 yards in length. However, I can't seem to find any good spots in the world to do it. A Google search tells me that some people have had success with a "clover-shaped freeway area" but even with that description I can't find a place that really sticks out to me as an ideal place to try. (Screenshots or video would be especially helpful.) My current car is a Lamborghini Aventador with a pretty high Control stat. Is it possible to complete this goal with that car, or is there another car available below rank 18 that's easier to drift with?


What plug-in does AirMech require?

I recently downloaded AirMech, but when I try to run it, Iron(Chrome) says, "No plug-in available to display this content." What plug-in do I need? I can confirm that I'm able to view other things using Flash, Java, Unity, HTML5, and Shockwave. I also have the latest version of Iron.


MMR dropped in League of Legends

In League of Legends I am Gold 5 or 4 (depending on when you will read this). My MMR was really high since I had more than double of wins compared to my losses. This made me play against high gold and low plat players. However, I was on a losing streak and I started playing duo queue with a friend that is Silver 5. This drastically dropped my MMR. If I want to raise my MMR again, does it help to just duo queue with a friend which has higher MMR than me (let's say high plat), or is winning solo queue the only solution here?


What is a tick/tech throw in Street Fighter 4?

Controlling the camera during combat

Some times, during combat, it gets really hard to see the enemy because the camera suddenly moves right behind the main character. This makes fighting nearly impossible for me. At first, I thought it was just part of the challenge, but it seems rather silly that blocking the view with the player character would be intentional. So I think I might be doing something wrong. Is there a way to move the camera around during combat? Regular one finger dragging simply makes the character attack.


How do I level up quickly in on-line ranked play?

I'm 65-15-1. I have even beaten a level 140 and a couple of 100's. However, I fight everybody (even level 1 guys). I'm level 64 and I feel since I can beat a 100, I should be at least 100. How do I fight to level up fast? I feel that my style is bad for leveling up. Should I fight only top levels or bottom levels (and destroy them)? Does losing to top levels give me some points? (I don't care that much about my record). Should I destroy people in the clinch, ground & pound them, or submit them? I feel that I can do it all. I was a submission machine before the reset, now I try to force people to stand-up. It is not easy. Should I try to submit them as fast as possible?

Does anyone know where I can find what I'm looking for?


Forza 4 XBL membership DLC problem

I wanted to download the November car pack, after getting Forza 4 and XBox live membership for 12 months + 2 bonus months, because it said you will get the 6 or so upcoming DLCs for free. Anyway, I started up the game and went to the Marketplace and it tells me to buy it with Microsoft points. However, it also says if you got the monthly thing you don't need to buy it. But whenever I try to purchase a car of the car pack it tells me to buy it. Can anyone help me out here?


nei recipe mode only

When I heard that you could look up recipes and cheat items with Not Enough Items, I downloaded NEI. It worked, and then I got another mod and the all of a sudden NEI still worked, but it was locked in recipe mode only. I tried fixing it by putting it into cheat mode again, but it was still in recipe mode. I knew the only reason this happened was probably because of a change in the mod. Then I was watching a YouTuber who had the same exact mod as me and NEI was working and not locked in recipe mode for him. I tried redownloading NEI and getting it again but I was still stuck in recipe mode. How do I get NEI in cheat mode?

I just lost my save game in infinity blade 3

I played until level 82 almost every skill is on. The game often complain that I login as a "different" user. I have no idea what different user is that game talking about. I often don't have access to the net. I don't even know whether my game is saved at icloud or not. Then I just turn on the game. I find out that I am back at introductory. Anyway I know more about this? What can I do to fix this? It looks like there is another player at level 82, whose name is "Me" and that must be my old save game. If I go to leaderboards, I have "1" friend, named "Me" with my pic on it. I wonder if my saved game is linked to my gamecenter account, icloud account, apple account or what? Are all that the same? Where is the save game located? How can I lost it? I login to my iCloud and couldn't see infinity blade 3 save game on it.


What is considered "near us" when settling cities?

Sometimes another leader comes sniveling that I am settling cities too close to them. One option is to agree to "stop settling cities so close to us" or something to that effect. How do I know whether or not settling a particular location will break my agreement? I cannot find any obvious criteria from playing the game, and there is no warning popup when I settle cities. edit: To clarify, I'm asking about **after** I agree to "stop settling cities near [them]". What I want to know is where I am permitted to settle a city without breaking the agreement.


Elisif's Tribute - Where is the shrine of Talos?

I am trying to become Thane of Haafingar hold/ Solitude. I cleared out Wolfskull cave, Elisif asked me to take her Husband's War Horn to a shrine of Talos. It shows up as a Misc Journal entry. Where is this shrine? I tried taking it to the shrine in Whiterun where the priest was always yelling. No luck, no options to leave the horn there. I tried following this Guide, I kept and kept on searching. Nothing between north of ritual stone or east of Whiterun resembles what they are talking about. But it is a radiant quest so I think that information might be dated. This guide says to go to the appropriate shrine. Our very own guide has no such mention, meaning it should be an easy do. I have been wandering looking for this shrine for almost 2 hours now real time. Which shrine of Talos do I need to drop the horn? And more importantly where is it/ How to find it?


Where do transcendent items drop?

In dungeon defenders which maps/gameplay modes cause transcendent items to drop? I've seen mythical gear drop on nightmare playthroughs, but so far the only transcendent gear I've seen has been in shops or donated by friendly users. What's the secret to transcendent drops? Are they just very rare in the places where mythical gear might drop, or are there more specific criteria for having them drop?


Do multi-target moves get stronger against a single target?

I know that in double battles, Surf, Rock Slide and generally any move that hits more than one target has its power nerfed (I think it's a 1/3 drop?) My question is, does it get full power if there is only one target to be hit (such as when the opponent is on their last Pokémon, or if their other Pokémon already fainted?) Similarly, if it misses all other targets, does it get its normal power against the one it hits?


What are the differences between off-tank, bruiser and tanky DPS?

I don't really know the differences between the three roles. It is more damage in one than the others, more tanky, or is it the champ who makes the difference? I read this question about what defines a bruiser,   But it makes me even more confused between the three.


Infinity Blade 2 on my Ipod

When I download the game Infinity Blade 2 on my Ipod, I open it and it appears to me that the Ipod sensed a saved progress of the game. It was my first time playing Infinity Blade 2 on my iPod and it has a saved game. Why is that? Also, when I play the game, it is very laggy on my iPod but not on my familiy's iPad.


Keyboard shortcuts to buy items in LoL?

In Counter Strike, for a quick start, one should buy items by using keyboard shortcuts at the beginning of the game, not clicking to items with mouse. Are there any keyboard shortcuts to buy items quickly in League of Legends? Or any plugins to achieve the same thing?


WoW Cataclysm - Is there any place to store inventory out of my bags and access it later?

What does the "LE" in Starcraft maps stand for

A lot of the (especially tournament) maps of Starcraft 2 end with "LE". Does it have any meaning or does it stand for something?


How can I tell which weapons are one or two handed?

I've accumulated several stickers, strap-ons, and pieces of armor that provide buffs to the damage of my one and two handed weapons, as well as to bows and thrown weapons. It's easy to tell the latter two groups apart, but I can't tell how I'm supposed to know whether a weapon is one or two handed. When I preview them on the equip screen, they all look like they're being held in 'one hand' at the characters side, so I have no idea, other than my own intuition based on the physical size of the model in question which... doesn't seem like a good way to figure this out. I'm sure there's an easier way to identify the difference that I'm just not spotting, so what is it?


When can I tame a pet?

I'm trying to tame the Ghost Saber with my hunter. It's level 19. I first tried when I was level 16 and the game told me the saber was too high-level for me to tame. I figured I should reduce the level so that it's yellow to me, but I still got the same message when I tried to tame it at 17. What are the level requirements for taming a new pet?


How can I catch beetles?

Catching beetles on the trees of the Island is a lucrative hobby but I'm finding very often I'll scare off the beetle, sometimes even before I can see them! I've tried tiptoeing close to them by holding A, but sometimes they still run. Some beetles seem to run before others, but I can't really see the pattern yet. I can't quite figure out how to catch these beetles. What should I do?

Do I need to grab every orb?

In seiklus, there are little orbs of various colours that you need to grab as you go along. Some of them I found very hard or frustrating to try to get. Am I going to be able to finish the game if I miss some of them? I was treating them sort of like coins in Mario games, in the sense that it wasn't necessary to get 100% of them to finish the game. Was this a wrong assumption?


Do I need to have played Myst in order to play Riven?

I finished Myst 15 years ago and I'm now ready for Riven. Do I need to remember the story of Myst to play Riven? Or are both games are independent?


Will leaves decay from trees we "make"?

Will the leaves of the trees I plant artificially (i.e the leaves surrounding a wood block that is placed by me) decay away?


Where can I listen to the song bramble blast from little big planet 2?

I've search for the song everywhere throughout the web but it wasn't found because it doesn't seem to exist. Anybody know where I can find it?


Server commands on Minecraft usernames with spaces

I am running a Minecraft dedicated server with about five players on it. One of my friends has a space in his Minecraft usernames, and this seems to break commands like give and tp. Is there a way to get around this?


Sim does not go to work although car is waiting

After my sim moved, he does not go to work anymore. When the car waits in front of the house, he simply does not get it. Even if I click on the car and choose "go to work", nothing happens. Is this a known bug? How can I resolve this problem?


What determines the quality of loot in horadric caches?

Ofcourse your character's level and the random factor affect what you get in the caches, but is there anything else that has influence on the loot from a cache? For example, does it matter on what difficulty I complete the bounties? Does it matter on which difficulty I open them? Anything else? For clarification, I'm talking about the reward you get from completing all bounties in one act in adventure mode. A new feature in the Reaper of Souls expansion. Upon completing all bounties in one act you get a one time use cache which drops some loot when used. It usually drops a few crafting materials, some rift keystone fragments and a couple of blues and yellow. I've had one legendary so far out of 4 or 5 caches. I understand there isn't nearly enough data from the community yet to answer this question based on results. But if someone had a link to a blue post explaining this or perhaps an ingame reference that answers this, that would be awesome.   Damn it, I might just spend the next few evenings farming normal - T1 caches and see if I get significant differences in drops :D.
