What is this iridescent goo?

I'm curious about this rainbow colored, iridescent goo that's littering the floor of the Barrow Temple in Skyrim. It looks poisonous and so for awhile I was trying to avoid it, thinking that it was some sort of trap. Then, I got curious and stepped around in it and nothing happened. Does this serve any purpose other than to look pretty? Any idea what it might actually be? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/TVRqs.jpg)


How to take a fire engine in SimCity 4?

What's the latest point in the game that the hidden achievements can be unlocked?

I had started The Dreamhold several times since its original release in 2004, but never finished it until its recent release on iOS. This release has Game Center achievements, and at least three of them are hidden. I discovered one of the hidden ones: > Apparently as you progress through the game, there is an increasing (though > always small) chance that going northeast from "Curving Hall at Pedestal" > will take you to the Stone Spire instead of the Harp Chamber. Entering the > Stone Spire unlocks the "Precarious Perch" achievement. It's possible that there are more than three hidden ones total, and that I discovered other ones already without knowing it; I only know that I have two remaining. So, _without spoiling them directly_ (unless you use spoiler tags), I would like to know if the rest of the hidden achievements are attainable during the endgame scenario, which I define as follows: > Seven masks collected. All wizard attire collected (knotted string, dagger, > buckler, glove, cloak, and bracelet). All seven masks put into mirror. Flask > of ink collected. Shred of black mask collected. You can put the actual achievements in spoiler tags if you like, but I'm really just looking for a "yes" or "no" as to whether I can get the hidden achievements from this state. If "no", and you can give me clues as to how early I need to backtrack without spoiling the achievements entirely, that would be excellent as well.

My portal got me stuck underground

After feverishly mining my minimal 10 blocks of obsidian I made me a portal to the Nether. I thought to myself, 'Sweet, something new. This should be fun.' I wanted to jump in immediately but to be safe, I emptied my inventory of everything other than a sword, armor and a pick ax. I got there and noticed it brought me to a cave. I knew I'd need some torches so I turned around and re-entered the portal and... I have no clue where I am but it's not the portal I entered in?!?! What happened and how can I get home? I don't have a map because, as I mentioned, I left all my goods at my home base before going to the Nether. Now I'm stranded. How does this happen and how can I easily find my home base? Should it be close by? I tried to enter the portal in the Nether from various directions but that didn't help. I keep popping up in the overworld somewhere other than near my home but I can tell it is at the same location each time I go back to the overworld. I'm lost... and I'm starting to feel cold. Can somebody help?


American Wii plugged in a European socket (110V plugged into 220V socket); what happened?

Is the Wii completely broken, or is it only the AC adapter? if it was the adapter, I could get a new one from eBay. Thanks.

Dota 2 trading terms

I have perused some dota 2 trading forums. Certain items/terms are appearing often, but I'm just not sure what the jargon means. The terms - Hook - TB - Old Key They are what I am unsure about. I've seen some people jokingly refer to the "hook" as Kunkka's pirate hook, though I'm fairly certain that's not really what it is. I doubt TB stands for tuberculosis. And, what is an "old key" compared to any other key?


Black Screen After Log In

I've been playing Minecraft on a PC and just got a Mac laptop (OSX 10.7.5). Since the server I regularly play on has numerous mods (using Forge ModLoader), I decided to copy over my .minecraft files. I followed what instructions I could find and placed the `.minecraft` folder in my `~/Library/Application Support` folder and renamed it to `minecraft`. Upon launching Minecraft, the initial launch screen displays properly and I attempt to log in. However, the Minecraft window proceeds to turn black. It still seems to be "responsive" (as clicking on the window doesn't make it turn gray and show the 'unresponsive' status), but it does not proceed from there. I don't see the Mojang loading screen nor do I make any other progress. Most advice says to delete my minecraft folder and restart the launcher, but this will result in a fresh (as of now) 1.4.7 installation. The server I play on runs 1.4.6 along with a host of mods, so that option is a no-go.

PS Vita doesn't wake back up

I'm having problems with my Vita not waking back up from a long sleep. I play my Vita for a few mins a day and then leave it sleep/charging for long periods (I never turn any of my hardware off). I was talking to a few buddies online and 2 of them out of a few that have it, said they experience the same thing where they let it go sleep and when they come back, the units "PSlog button" stays lit (sometimes not) and they have to do a hard reboot. After the hard reboot, the unit comes up with some restore options etc. we press the restore option and once you hit that, system reboots, does its thing and all is well. This doesn't seem like normal behavior for the unit so I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and if so, if you've found a solution, or is my unit (and friends units) defective?

Are there portals that do not appear on the intel map?

The Intel Map displays portals in the Ingress game. Are there undiscovered portals that do not appear in this map? I know that new portals are added from time to time. What I want to know is if there are existing portals that I can find by exploring with the game running. Edit 2013-01-15: I am aware that it is necessary to zoom way in on the Intel map to see low-level and unclaimed portals. I am specifically wondering if there are portals that do not appear on the map at any zoom level because they have never been visited/discovered. I ask because the portals on the Intel Map have notes like, "Discovery: Khayman 01/14/2013". Are these the names of players who have discovered previously hidden portals - or are these the players who submitted geotagged pictures to get portals added? I am skeptical of the latter possibility because some of the portals in questions are post offices and libraries and do not have pictures.

What prevents transporting troops by (inland) sea?

Earlier, I was able to invade Crete by sea from Morea (near Athens on the southern tip of Greece) with two infantry simply by selecting them and right- clicking on Crete as you would normally, I assume because I had a small fleet of three Galleys and three Cogs. It even showed them move first to the ships and then--after a short delay--onto Crete. But now I've just conquered Venice and am trying to return home to Dalmatia via the Gulf of Venice. I have a large fleet in the gulf and control both provinces. When I select the army and right-click on Dalmatia, it makes sound like it will move but doesn't do anything. ![Convoy from Venice \(top-left\) to Dalmatia \(bottom- right\)](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Xrqor.png) There are a few things I suspect may be blocking the convoy:   1. The port is not actually adjacent to the gulf but on the sea below it. If this is the problem, do I need to split my fleet across both sea regions? Do both fleets need to have Cogs?   2. Venice has a fleet parked in a port adjacent to the gulf. Even though it appears I have them blockaded in the port, are they blocking the convoy?   3. I probably have more units in the army than Cogs in the fleet. Do I need to split up the army and move the stacks piecemeal?


Why is Corki underplayed?

* His passive applies 10% of his ad as true damage   * Great escape utility/team positioning with his w   * Great wave clear potential   * Extremely long range poke with short cooldown Why is it that he isn't a frequently played champion in bot. I understand that most people say that his early game is a pain, but from my experience his auto attacks accompanied by his passive will destroy 1 bar of health from the opponent each time he attacks them. Is there some reason? Is he hard to master? Extremely boring? (which I totally disagree) or because his figure doesn't look appealing?


How can I beat the rock spiders on level 4 of Battle Quest?

How can I install mods on the Mac release of Planescape Torment?

So, GOG has gone to the trouble of releasing Planescape: Torment for OS X thanks to the wonders of WINE. Hooray! Unfortunately, said release does not include the core mods that are widely regarded as essential for playing the game today. I happen to agree that _at a minimum_ the widescreen and UI patch, and WeiDU Fixpack mods are essential these days, and am super fond of Unfinished Business and the Tweaks tool as well. Unfortunately, the method for installing all of these requires an executable windows application. Which, of course, means that I can't easily install them under OS X. Is there any way to manually load/install these modifications, or are there mac versions of the core mods available somewhere?

Why does building something on a tile modifies the profit of it?

I have just started playing Civ 5 and I'm confused regarding the tiles. When you built a city you get an amount of tiles around it, and when your population increases you get to assign a citizen to work in each tile. When you get workers you can build on the tiles, however when i try to build on a tile that is being worked on i get a notification that the profit is going to be modified or something like that...... What does this mean?. If i for example modify a tile that is being worked on and build a Plantation does it mean that the profit out of it will low?.

I am wondering why that is? For example, I am able to create a public game with a quest from Act 4. However, when I try to join a public game in act 4, that option is unavailable. I am wondering how does Blizzard decide when you can join/create a game with certain quest.

Does X3:Albion Prelude still have a private sector?

In Terran Conflict, you could get a private sector. (As well as a Headquarters for that sector. You could put the HQ anywhere, but in the private sector seems the best place to put it to me.) Since Albion Prelude is just a plugin/expansion to Terran Conflict, does it still have the private sector and headquarters? I never quite managed to get both in TC and that's one of the biggies I always wanted to do in TC. Thinking about playing again, but if AP doesn't have both of those, I think I may just go back to my old TC save so I can finally get them. 15 minutes of Googling has turned up nothing on if they exist in Albion Prelude. I'm guessing the fact I can't find a mention of it anywhere means they're not in Albion Prelude, but I thought I'd ask just to be sure.


Does burning damage stack in any way?

I am trying a guardian build which revolves around burning as many foes as possible for as much damage as possible. However, when I quickly use two burning skills, I notice only one burning icon on the foe. **Does burning stacks in any way?** Or does casting two burning spells on the same target amount to nothing? To elaborate a little, suppose spell A deals 100 damage over 10 seconds and spell B deals 200 damage over 10 seconds. I cast spell A, and after 5 seconds I cast spell B. What is the expected behaviour? What is the behaviour if I cast spell B instead of spell A and vice-versa?

Any tips for the Insane AI co-op matches with AI allies?

This other question has several good tips for how to get the Insane FFA achievement. I tried one of the strategies and it worked well. However I'm trying to do the ones where you have to have Insane AI allies (3v3, 4v4) and for some reason my allies do nothing. I've tried 4-5 matches and it pretty much goes down the same way each time. My allies build up a decent force very quickly (no defense at all though), and they don't do any thing. The computer will then team up one on of them, by the time reinforcements get there the ally is already destroyed. I thought maybe my allies were just waiting for me to initiate an attack, but when I tried that it didn't go so well. They stayed at the bases and my entire force was lost. Any tips to make this easier? Or should I just stick with the FFA tactic and go hide on an island and build up an Battlecruiser army. (Of course, then it becomes 1v3 or 1v4 since my allies will all be dead).

Usining Forge minecraft on windows 8.1 non-admin accounts

Since moving onto windows 8.1 I've set up user accounts for my kids- This means I can have separate safety settings on the browsers etc. When installing most apps it's just a case I install on one account (usually mine - the admin account) and it shows up in all the sub-accounts. This is probably because minecraft doesn't install to the programs/ folder.Now I can make a shortcut to the mincraft launcher from the sub accounts and run minecraft that way but Forge isn't present. I have installed forge on my admin account and it works fine but if I try install forge while in a sub account it doesn't work. Has anyone come across this and has a solution or does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks


Is it possible to lay a block adjacent to another without looking at the face of the existing block?

I want to build a bridge over a valley to allow fast travelling between 2 areas. The only way I can see to do it is this:   1. Build steps up to the level I need.   2. Move right to the end of the last block placed   3. Turn around so I can see a bit of the face of the last block   4. Place the block so it extends the length of the bridge   5. Repeat from step 2. This is slow because you you have to carefully navigate yourself to the precarious edge of a block each time. **Is there an easy way to place a block adjacent to an existing block without having to look back from beyond the edge of the existing block?** If my description doesn't make sense I may need to resort to ascii art.

Is there a way to reset an island in Campaign mode?

In Tropico V's campaign mode, you cycle between islands, doing missions on them. If you do a mission on an island you have been to before, the island is pretty much in the same state it was in when you left it. So, when I did a mission which involved building an invasion force, I stuffed up and it took me a very long time to complete. Which meant I had kind of destroyed my mineral reserves etc before realising what I was doing wrong, changing my constitution and then quickly finishing the mission before the economy collapsed. Now, I have a mission to export vast quantities of oil, set on that island. But I left the island in such a shambles that my economy pretty much immediatly falls over, and the newly founded oil industry doesn't even get going. Does anyone know if the campaign system has a work around for this? Or have I pretty much screwed myself several missions ago?

What items are worth selling, vending, or auctioning?

How does this question differ from What items are worth picking up? That question is more about what items are worth keeping between home-runs, so to speak. My question is more about longer term storage and selling. In Path of Exile, there's no gold (piece) economy. It is based on currency items which each have their own use and their prices are relative. It's a barter economy. The other integral half of the economy is combat items: weapons, armour, jewelry, maps, and skill gems. Among what determines a weapon's or armour's worth are: sockets, links, item- level, and the mods that are on it. I want to focus on the mods. There are two types of mods, implicit and affixes. Implicit mods always come with a certain weapon type. The more important type of mod are affixes.   Mundane (non-magic) items are items without affixes. Affixes are split into two categories: prefixes or suffixes. A magic (indigo) item can have up to one prefix and suffix. More than that and it becomes a rare (yellow) item. Now, you may say that what determines an item's worth is the mods that you're looking for, which can vary greatly. I believe that it doesn't vary greatly. While the mods that are desired differ based on build, there are certain sets of mods that are desired on each individual item (weapon, jewelry, and armour pieces (chest, helmet, gloves, and boots)). The most-easily-notable universally-desired sets are Increased Item Rarity + Increased Item Quantity (A.K.A. "Magic Find") and elemental resistances + increased armour/evasion/energy shield. I could name maybe a few more, but I'll leave the rest to the answerer.

So I bought the app and the first thing I do is go to settings and press login but unfortunately it said pause, and mention further notice it been a month and I still can't log in.

Textbooks in A Kingdom for Keflings

In the game A Kingdom for Keflings, you can find some textbooks. So far I've found 2. I can not for the life of me figure out what they are for. What do you do with the text books?


How do I use Steam Coupons?

All those coupons I got from the Gift Pile event are about to become valid, so I might as well ask: How do I actually use them? Do I sort of activate them from my Inventory, or can I select them at some point during checkout?


Is there a quick way to get groups together?

Is there some _World of Warcraft_ meeting stone/Warlock summon analog in _The Old Republic_ to quickly assemble groups and fetch that last straggler that takes 5 minutes to walk across the station? There's Quick Travel, but that doesn't always get you close (especially when trying to do Heroic 4 quests in the middle of a forest), plus some people might have it on cooldown.

Does the Wii have a system for free (non-browser) games?

I just got a Wii with Wii Sports Resort and two Motion Plus controllers, but don't want to spend any more money on games for a while. Does the Wii, like Steam and XBox Live, have a system for downloading and playing free games or demos? I could probably play Flash games in the browser, but that kind of misses the point! :)


Will automated workers clear forest if I'm playing as Iroquois?

While playing a game of Civ 5 as the Iroquois, I noticed my automated workers were sometimes clearing a forest. Since the Iroquois get special benefits from forest squares (like the Longhouse), this struck me as counterproductive. Are automated workers smart enough to maintain forests when playing as Iroquois?


Can a great improvement (ex: Manufactory) be removed by automated workers?

While playing a game, I rushed getting a Great Engineer in order to produce an early Manufactory. A few turns later, I noticed the square had changed back to a farm. Is it possible my automated workers decided it was better to have food over production, and removed my Manufactory?


Is it possible to add sockets to items?

One rather frequent outcome of item enchanting in Torchlight 1 used to be, especially in the late game, adding sockets to items. My previous weapon, the Extension Sword (highlights: 452-838 dps physical + 285-556 dps between fire and poison, -9% fumble chance, +20% fire damage, 2 meh enchantments) had a socket that was very well spent with my Eye of Gallo (93 health stolen on hit; hit multiple enemies, gain 93 health multiple times!) The weapon sadly got superseded by my Beast Hammer of Clouded Vision (562-1055 physical, 90% interrupt chance, 10% blinding cloud), which unfortunately has no sockets. Can I fix this somehow? I really started to rely on the combined effects of Forcefield (damage absorption) and health steal as a cheap and safe way to heal myself, but the days seem over now. I can still go back to the previous gun, except the general poison theme of Act 3 means giving up half of the elemental damage on that Extension Sword and... yeah, I'd just be happier with rescuing the gem and cramming it on the Hammer somehow. Is it possible?


Is the engi surrender event a penalty for honesty?

I've run into this event a few times. There's an engi ship that automatically surrenders without a fight, saying something like "transfer of goods acceptable?" There are two choices, 1) to accept the surrendered goods, 2) to assure them that you mean no harm. Every time this happens, I can't bring myself to take their stuff, so I choose the second option and they take off without another word. Is there anything more to this event, or is the optimal choice always to accept their stuff?


Why are my carrots and potatoes popping out of the ground

wii widescreen doesnt appear to work

I'm extremely confused, when i set my wii to 16:9 it was not wide at all. It looked exactly the same and the menu looked 4:3. Maybe it looked a little zoomed out but the sides were not wide. Pressing info on my tv said the signal was 480i and "SD" (standard definition). Going into other wii options i see 480p is not available. I don't know what happens if my TV gets a 480p signal but i do know it supports 1080p. Whats with this widescreen business and 480p thing?


What's a good melee strategy for Teleglitch?

Melee weapons seem pretty strong against basic zombies (?) in teleglitch, I feel like I could save a lot more of my ammo for the bigger monsters if I could kill smaller things more consistently with whatever melee weapon I'm holding. Problem is, I have difficulty getting consistent hits with the thing. The hitbox seems weighted towards one side of the avatar and that makes it a bit difficult to use. Any tips that will help me score more hits and rely more on my melee for basic combat?


Can I use "click and hold" sighting?

Do I need to do crew skill missions to use my trade skills?

The crafting skills in Star Wars: The Old Republic require components earned from Crew Skills missions: Pay 97c, send Khem Val away for 3 minutes, and _poof_ , 2 Rubat Crystals (or whatever). Do I _have_ to do Crew Skills missions to get profession reagents, or are there other (less "pay credits + give up your companion") ways to do so?

Can I pick up weapons dropped by enemies in TF2?

In online games it says other people are finding guns on the map and other people in chat tell me to pick up guns from dead bodies. From what I've tried though, none of these work and I have played 7 hours of spy so far trying to get a weapon, can I only get weapons of that class I'm currently using, or how can I pick up weapons in Multiplayer?


Clear Skies Dragon Shout Refuses To Clear Winterhold

I finally got to the main quest, and got the Clear Skies shout. Got all 3 words. It works everywhere, but Winterhold. I have a couple quests going in and around Winterhold. Everytime I visit Winterhold, it is ALWAYS snowing. I want to clear it out. But it does not work. The guards eventually ask me to stop shouting. Does the shout only work in certain areas? And since the name of the place is Winterhold, does it always have to be snowing?


I just kicked some stalker butt - how'd I do it?

Usually, when a stalker happens upon me (which may or may not be random, as we've seen), he comes up behind me and grabs me. The music and camera change and I mash `X` until Ezio throws him off. Last night I was hanging out on an empty rooftop (so much for stalkers lurking in crowds, eh?) when a stalker showed up. Thing is, I didn't even know there was a stalker around, since Ezio had already wrecked the guy before I even knew he was there. He threw him off before the stalker managed to grab him. It was awesome, but I have no idea how it happened. How'd I do that?


How do I get the memory fragment on Galata Tower?

There's a memory fragment on a wooden platform sticking out of the side of Galata Tower: ![what up lil memfrag](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IfOeO.jpg) How the heck do I get to it? As far as I can tell, there is no route to climb up to or around it (unless I'm missing something obvious). I tried climbing above it and dropping down onto it, but when I let go of the wall above I plummet into a hay pile below instead of down to the platform (which is actually good since in order to get above the platform you have to get high enough that the fall would probably desynchronize you). So how do I get this darn thing?


How do I capture a Felix?

Occasionally a Felix will show up on the map and it says "Catch Him Now!" When I confront this creature I injure it down to zero health and then it runs away. I don't feel like I am capturing it. I'm playing on a Windows phone if that matters.

How to play Mid Lane as Akali agaist Morgana?

I really like to play Akali and always try to go for the mid lane, because many people underrate Akali there and get easily killed by me. I can handle mid lane agaist most champions except Morgana, Annie and Mordekaiser, but **especially** Morgana gives me trouble. If I attack her with Level 6 or higher (with shadow dance and 3 marks) she stun me and her burst of damage takes me down while I can't do enough damage to kill her. If I don't attack her she will push the lane very hard and I lose the tower after a while and if my teammates play bad at their lanes, I can't support them either than they can support me. So how could I handle such a bad situation?

How do I get past the first dead girl in Chapter 1?

In the first chapter, there's a section where you have to cross what looks like a ruined wooden bridge. It might not be too difficult if there was light, but the psychopath I'm chasing appears to have remedied that for me by taking out nearly all the torches. Just when I think I'm nearly across, the silhouette of what looks like a girl materializes on the plank in front of me. ![Dead girl](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Qqc3w.jpg) What happens if you get too close... well, I'll just post the message the game gives you. ![Find Another Way](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xu2ca.png) > FIND ANOTHER WAY I can't see another way around after backtracking a little.

Are there no unique battle maps for special cities in the Total War: ROME II campaign?

I recently attacked the city of Alexandria with a combined naval and land force in my co-op campaign with a friend, and was looking forward to a battle in the environment presented on this page: http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Total_War_ROME_II:_Capital_Cities However, when the battle map loaded the city looked nothing like the one in the picture of Alexandria in the wiki. It was just a generic coastal city with walls, no huge lighthouse or other unique details. From the wiki page (emphasis added): > Among all the settlements and cities to be found as you conquer your way > across ROME II’s **campaign map** , five stand out as great wonders of > engineering [...] and > It’s only right that the battle maps for these mighty seats of ancient > civilisation get the special treatment, so we’ve gone to town on making them > the most intricate, stunning, authentic and of course epic cityscapes we’ve > ever created. I also attacked Carthage earlier during the campaign and as I recall it too didn't look any different from the other generic provincial capitals I had waged battles in. Is there anyone who has attacked or defended one of these "unique" capitals and had the battle map actually look like the cities in the pictures on the wiki page?


Skipping the Treasure Yeti if he shows up in an undesired world?

I don't have much use for coins in PvZ 2 but am still hungrily collecting keys in the Wild West world. When the Treasure Yeti shows up in the Wild West I'm happy to battle him in the hopes that his lunchbox will contain keys, not diamonds. But sometimes the Treasure Yeti appears in one of the two previous worlds, where I've already unlocked everything. Is there a way for me to make him go away (the sooner to reappear elsewhere) short of playing the level in question until the yeti shows up?

Do I need the original discs to install WoW on a new computer?

My boyfriend bought the World of Warcraft Battle Chest, Wrath of the Lich King, & Cataclysm. He downloaded them to our previous computer, but now we have a new one and when he took out the first disk from the battle chest he severely scratched it. Anyway, I tried putting in disk #2, and it said I couldn't do it without disk 1 (which is scratched!). I've recently put in Wrath of the Lich King (it came with 2 CDs), and it said that I haven't downloaded the original and asked me if I wanted to downloaded. I clicked "yes" -- does that mean its downloading WoW & The Burning Crusade? Or do we need to buy it all again? We just bought the whole set on June of this year...


Is there any way to control a subgroup within a main group without losing control of the main group?

Let's say I have a group of 10 units: 5 marines, 2 marauders, a tank, and 2 banshees. I want the marines to target the front line, the marauders to target some armored unit, the tank to target something else, etc. I know I can ctl- click to select all of the units in that group, but is there a key or some technique to tell each group of units to attack something different without losing control of the entire group or having them all attack the same thing?

What could be this potion that I see everywhere?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to identify items without getting killed If I understand correctly, the potions in Nethack are given random colors at the beginning of each game, but the same color is always the same potion.

Is there a list that details the probabilities of finding certain potions?

Getting the most experience out of a taxi

I have started playing Silkroad Online again and as those who play it will know, the game doesn't really start until around level 70 (in my experience). My old accounts were deleted for inactivity. I have never been a fan of taxis and have grinded my way through most of this game but now it seems to be the only viable way for such a short period of time. I was wondering, what is the best way to get the most exp out of a taxi? I am aware of the level gap thing and stuff like that but what is the optimal level gap between your characters and the mobs that the higher level is farming? How many people in a party is suitable? Just stuff like that. Thanks in advance for any information.


Is it possible to reach level 50 with quests?

The last MMO I played was SWTOR and there you really had a structured quest line and a plot. While you also have a storyline in TESO I feel like you won't get to 50 with questing only. Currently I am level 20 but I only have Quests for level 21 (I'm playing Ebonheart) and this has happened before. Usually I balanced it out by PVP or Dungeons but I really find it a little annoying to always grind mobs/players for the missing 10-50% of the level (mainly due to the fact that it feels like MMO grinding. I'd love to grind mobs if it was actual Elder scrolls grinding). Of course I can also do the quests that are 1-4 levels above mine but I have the feeling that at a certain point it won't be 1-4 levels but 4-12 levels. Are there some things that I can follow when it comes to finding hidden quests? I always find some quests when randomly walking past a wayshrine but even with those I don't manage to get a full level. Also a thing I found was a certain Add-On which sort of functions like the old "Quest Helper" Add-On from WoW if anyone remembers that. The only thing with it is that it costs money and I really don't want to spend money on an Add-On (although it really looks great but 30$? geez...). The fact that there is a "Guide" to it somehow tells me that it is possible but I just don't get how It can be made (and no I don't wanna download the trial version of this thing since they want a whole lot of information just for the demo). So is there something that I can hold on in game (If possible without addons) to reach lvl 50 without PVP/Grinding/Dungeons or am I basically forced to do these things?


What are some examples of "love luck"?

I've read that there is a type of luck called "love luck". In the article, it states that love luck either makes it easier to increase friendship with opposite-sex villagers, or that special conversations with opposite-sex villagers are more likely (if you have 'good'love luck). I have yet to witness the effect of this luck, but I would like to see some examples of this "love luck" to see if it's worth the 500 Bells that Katrina requests to have your fortune read.


What triggers crew experience increases?

At what point does Leah's Journal: Part 2 become available?

For some reason, I am unable to find Part 2 of Leah's Journal in _Diablo 3_. I usually pick up Part 1 before the people inside the inn turn into zombies, and have checked back periodically throughout my first _real_ quest (Killing the mothers, etc.) and have had no luck finding it. I _have_ noticed, however, that if I wait until after that quest is completed, Part 3 of her journal appears. **How do I get Part 2 of Leah's Journal?**


Why can't I kill any escorts?

On my travels I often encounter Thalmor Justiciar escorting a prisoner. As a former prisoner, I once tried aiding him by slaying his escort. Sadly, the guards at the next village I encountered saw that as a vile crime. So now I'm left wondering, **why can't I kill these lone escorts, especially when there are no eye witnesses?** Or are the Thalmor the good guys and should I let this criminal be taken to the block without inferring like a law-abiding citizen of Skyrim? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eevA3.jpg)

Quests that won't clear

I acually have two questions. How do I complete a quest if when I go to the place where the arrow is pointing, the quest turns out to be void? Like for instance; Esborn wanted me to brin him a Dragon scale and a dragon bone. When I brought these things to him, nothing else happened. the same words from our previous conversation would only show and not the one concerning the dragon scale & bone. Another quest wanted me to "receive a reading from Olava the feeble". When I go to her house ( where the arrow is pointing ) she demands that I leave her house. When I see her outside and press "A" to talk to her, she says nothing. This is the same with outer quests tha I have. Skyrim is an awesome game, but it's pretty F$#@ up!

When can I get The Stranger/Tyreal conversations for the It's Just Us achievement?

I just realized the achievement title was a pun on "Justice." The achievement says to "Listen to all of the Tyrael's conversations."

How can I install Red Alert 3 on Linux?

I recently found there are several layers of programs (some commercial) one can put on top of WINE to run games better and do everything easier. I'm using PlayOnLinu 4.2.1 with Wine 1.7.4 in 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04. I have previously successfully installed _Civilization V_ with both expansion packs and copied _C &C The First Decade_ even before I got Play on Linux, with Wine alone. (although the second didn't work, I didn't have winetricks, now I could really install, not just copy The First Decade folders and files) I've tried just about anything to install the game, installing through the CD (never finishes, gets stuck on the end "copying new files"), through Steam (doesn't actually install the game, but Steam with the game's name), and through pointing to the setup file as installation file on the CD (through the options of installation and running `playonlinux /media/setup.exe &` on the terminal). I also tried tweaking a few options, and following tutorials, but none have worked so far (still if there's any you think would work, please tell me). I could try installing on the VM and copying Red Alert 3, but I think it is awkward that an unsupported game installs and a supported one doesn't. Why?


Fallout New Vegas Freeze on Bethesda Loading Screen (before main menu)

Up until recently, Fallout New Vegas played just fine on my PC, However, I went to play it yesterday and the game loads as far as the Bethesda splash screen (before the main menu) and then freezes. The only way I can get out of this is to restart the PC. I have tried validating my Steam cache and I've also tried re-installing the game, to no avail. I do not have any mods installed. My DxDiag can be found here - http://pastebin.com/gLvyewRw

Minecraft Forge java error

I'm using `minecraft forge` to include shading mods and packages into my minecraft.

Does the Men of Science event have unstated effects?

I'm playing my first game as the Ottomans and have received the Men of Science event several times. To summarize, our ministers want to offer gold to foreign scientists to entice them to move here so we don't fall behind in technology. You are presented with two options:   * Yes, bring them here: lose 25 Piety.   * No, we don't need them: gain 25 Piety. It lists no other effects. Does accepting their help give you a boost to technology that isn't listed here? I see no reason to take a 25 point hit to Piety without a payoff. What is the point of this event?


Raising commercial/residential wealth in SimCity? When should I do this?

I always seem to get stuck here. I'll have a TON of residential areas, like, literally the entire map full. But the "low" residential demand just keeps going super high. And I literally just do not have the space to put any more down. I've heard the ratio 3:1:1 for R:I:C as far as the "golden ratio". Is this still true? Also, am I possibly upgrading my residential communities too fast? (AKA by placing parks and such). I get constant complaints about jobs. But I think I'm maybe trying to progress too fast. Is it ideal to sort of move "all" resedential areas up "value"-wise, or sort of keep sections segregated (AKA have high/low/medium residential areas, but keep them segregated). For reference, I'm going with an electronics specialization.


Why am I losing Manpower when it says I am gaining it?

In one month my Manpower dropped from 10,191 to 9,204, but the hover says I am gaining 813 each month. All of my armies were fully replenished several months before when I had around 15k Manpower. Am I misreading the hover information? Is there another screen that shows more details or what is causing the drop? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/PiW2Q.png) **Update:** I am above the force-limit (76/72), but the only penalty mentioned in the hover is a monetary cost of 1.43/month. Is this related?


How do I start the Temple of Miraak quest?

I've recently added the Dragonborn DLC to my Skyrim (PS3). I setup a new character and went to Solstheim. After doing a number of quests and discovering pretty much ever location on Solstheim I seem to have stalled on the main story line. When I visit the Temple of Miraak I don't see/meet Frea. I've read elsewhere that if I travelled back to Skyrim some cultists would attack me, which would trigger the question. But I've spent about 8 hours back on Skyrim doing various quests - and still nothing has happened. Has anyone else come across this issue and know how to trigger the Temple of Miraak quest? I've got a good level 38 character who's built around stealth kills with the Bound Bow, and I'd hate to have to start again.


What is the most efficient way to upgrade a portal?

When I destroyed all resonators on an enemy portal, I have various options to place the resonators. I can either   * set the highest resonators right away or   * start with lower resonators and gradually replace them with higher ones. By default (Button "Deploy Resonator") Ingress seems to set lower resonators first, so I would have to replace them with higher ones later. **What is the way to gain the most AP when deploying resonators on a portal..?** I would like answers on two cases: **a) ..when I am alone.   b) ..when I am with a friend.** Usually when I am with a friend we start with the lowest resonator level and replace each others resos with a reso of one level higher, because we think that replacing a foreign resonator gives you AP while replacing your own does not. I am not sure about this though. PS: When answering please focus on AP gain and ignore the following factors:   * amount of Resonators used   * amount of XM used   * resonator location   * other strategic considerations (bait resonators, ...)

WoW Macro for several SendChatMessage()

I want to broadcast a message throughout several channels. When left click, broadcasting to all channels, when right click, just to channel 1. This is my original script, though it exceeds the character limits of a macro. How can I make it shorter?               /run s="a long long long long .... message ..."     /script SendChatMessage(s ,"CHANNEL" , "COMMON" ,"1");     /script if(GetMouseButtonClicked()=="LeftButton") then SendChatMessage(s ,"CHANNEL" , "COMMON" ,"4") end;     /script if(GetMouseButtonClicked()=="LeftButton") then SendChatMessage(s ,"CHANNEL" , "COMMON" ,"7") end;      I was looking for how to use "`for each (4,7)`" to replace the last 2 lines, but didn't find a "`for each`" syntax for WoW API.

Where can I find Blood Dragons wearing brain-cages?

I am trying to get the achievement 'Set Them Free' which requires that I disable 5 brain cages on Blood Dragons. I've completed the story missions and during that only encountered a few such Blood Dragons, and have destroyed the brain cages pretty easily. However now that the story missions are over I can't seem to find any Blood Dragons still wearing the cage. Is there a place I can go to find Blood Dragons with brain cages? I still have a garrison left unliberated but mostly everything else has been done. Have I just missed some crucial Blood Dragons during story play through?


Criteria for earning gold badges on Majesty

(I only got gold in a few and am not sure how) I really need to get all gold because there's a particular level that requires all other levels to have a gold medal in order to unlock it.


Terrible Team Fortress 2 Performance

I've purchased a graphics card lately, a Nvidia Geforce 210, with awesome features. The only downside is my RAM (512). Every kind of video requirement I can max out with this graphics card but my RAM is terrible, but I have to admit new games such as HL2:EP2, DOD:S, HL2, Dark messiah, Minecraft, they all run smooth and at an ideal 60+ framerate at a time. However, I tried to play TF2 on steam, since it's free, I defragmented it's cache files via steam and I added DXLEVEL 80 and I even lowered my settings bellow the ones recommended for my system, yet I am experiencing TERRIBLE overall performance in TF2.   * Waiting about 5 minutes for the game to start up, and huge lag in the main menu   * In-game it takes about 30 minutes of play-time for the game to run relatively smooth   * When I run into groups of 5+ players the game lags terribly   * I have no ping/network issues   * The game is running in windowed mode at lowest resolution I did a test to see if my game can run it, and it's above the minimum required specifications, But it is absolutely unplayable, Why is the performance so bad? **My PC Specs:**   * **OS** : Windows XP Professional.   * **CPU** : Single-Core Processor.   * **Graphics** : Nvidia Geforce 210.   * **RAM** : 512 MB


Dark/Grey areas in Prison Architect

In my Prison I turned off Fog Of War, but in most areas where a Gaurd or Staff isn't present the area will turn Dark and Grey. The prisoners do not show and lights don't seem to do anything and when my mouse cursor goes over the area it doesn't light up. Do I need CCTV's there? When I place a gaurd he walks away, is there anyway to make him stay? (I'm relatively new to the game. )

Turn off AI "Rebase" animations in Civilization 5?

I have all animations off, quick movement on, quick combat on, quick selection advance on, etc. However, the "rebase" animation still plays on AI turns. And, unfortunately, the AI almost always rebases **all** aircraft every turn. Are there any hidden ways to turn this off? It can take minutes between peacetime turns, just because the AI feels the need to move a dozen aircraft from city to city every turn. This happens in both normal game view and strategic view, so using strategic view is not an option here.

How do I dominate Milligan?

In the quest "Necromantic" in _Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines_ , I read from IGN and GameFAQS(probably the same source) that I can make Milligan forget everything and earn a humanity point by not sending him to Pisha. Problem is, I can't figure out how to do it. I'm playing as a Tremere, I already tried putting a point on Dominate and using Brain Wipe on the guy but it doesn't work. No conversation options show for him forgetting everything too, plus there's no stat for Dominate.

Understanding the number of bits in gaming consoles

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  What does 8-bit / 16-bit actually refer to? Some of the consoles I've owned are:   * **8** bit NES    * **16** bit Megadrive (Genesis)   * **64** bit Nintendo 64 I've always been curious about what the number of _bits_ specified actually means? I realise that when taking _unsigned integers_ into account, the maximum value `8` bits is `255`, `16` bits is `65,535`, and `64` bits is`9,223,372,036,854,775,807`. Does it refer to the amount of graphical data that can be transfered at any one time? Or the colour palette? Or the largest a numeric data-type can be? Or some other factors?


Can I pan the minimap in Civilization 5?

In civilization 5 the minimap displays a rectangle, even though civ is actually played on a cylinder - it just means that the east and west edges of the minimap are touching. Sometimes the minimap displays the "calendar line" in a very uncomfortable position - for example I would like my empire to be in the middle, but it appears very close to the edge of that minimap. I know that after exiting and then loading a game the minimap changed so that my empire was in a different (better) position, far from the sides. Is there any way to somehow control it in-game?

Is it possible to complete Dark Souls without leveling?

One of the things that have always irked me about the Dark Souls games is the ability to store up souls, and effectively grind your way past a certain point by leveling up indefinitely. Accumulated failures naturally result in more souls as you go through the level again, and more souls means leveling up, thereby lessening the challenge that makes these games so great. Is it at all possible to beat these games without leveling up at all?

Cost-effective items for mana-hungry AP champions

I think Mana Regen items are good in early-mid game and Max Mana items are good for Mid-Late game (because take time for fill the stacks). Am I correct? Which kind of items are recommended for mana-hungry AP champions like Kassadin or Karthus? I see builds where the player stacks "Rod of Ages" or "Archangel Staff", that improves **Max Mana**. Another builds stacks "Athene's Unholy Grail" or "Morellonomicon" for improved **Mana Regen**. There are some mixed buid too?

Is there a limit on resource sharing?

It's a relatively frequent strategy in 2v2 matches in StarCraft II for one player to immediately leave the game, allowing his ally to have a very strong economy to deal with his two opponents. Of course, this still takes a lot of micromanagement for the player remaining in the game to build up his own base and his ally's economy at the same time. It is particularly powerful with a Terran/Protoss team, because Terran can mine so quickly with MULEs and the Protoss player, given extra money, can produce such a powerful army. Is it possible to employ this strategy without the Terran player leaving the game, however? Is there any limitation to the timing and/or amount of resources that can be shared between players? Can the Terran player start feeding the Protoss player extra resources immediately?

Is there some way of automatically farming wool from sheep?

I would like to set up some way of autmatically farming wool from sheep in Minecraft. I have a farm, but unfortunately, sheep do not shed wool when they die. So all I get is leather, feathers and eggs. There was a suggestion involving pressure plates, dispensers and snowballs, but there is no more snow in beta. Does anyone know if sheep shed wool when they are damaged by cacti? Any other suggestion on how to pull this off? [I know that farming spiders is an alternative. But I would really prefer to use sheep.] Does anyone know how far away you may walk from a mob before it despawns?


How to place a Quarry in Tekkit

Was wondering if anyone could explain to me how to properly place down a Quarry using Land Marks. I think I know the basics:   1. Place down 3 Land marks in a triangle   2. Right-click the middle one to create a red square   3. Place the Quarry down next to the middle Land Mark And sometimes this works. _However_ what often happens is that the Land Marks just explodes and the Quarry gets no black and yellow frame at all. What is the cause of this? How do I place down the Quarry properly so that this won't happen?

Starcraft II Patches not Downloading Correctly

Ever since I first installed the Free Version(Then later on upgraded to full version) the patches always stopped installing at random percentages and it will stay there. The way I fixed it and finally downloaded it was to continuously opening and closing it quite literally 100+ times. Every time it would download a little further and then stop. It did this again whenever any patches are out and need to updated before I can play. Is there a solution on this? There are tons of articles on the internet about this but none give a solution that works!

Do Seraph weapons "power up" and how?

After reading a long thread I've read that Seraph Weapons "power up" from their initial stats.

Match information in Starcraft 2 via packet capture?

I'm writing a small application to track some additional statistics not provided within Starcraft 2 (e.g. current daily point increase/decrease, distribution of matches such as those won in the first 5 minutes, etc...). The problem is that there is some information that isn't available on the battle.net webpage. Ideally, I'd parse all of the information directly from this website, but things like length the game ran and opponents aren't provided on the web version. So, I've been looking into capturing packets on a client machine to see if there is a way I can extract this data as a user is playing sc2. I'm not entirely sure this is going to work, because as I've seen thus far, the packets are either encrypted, or simply not readable. I just wanted to see if others had thoughts on how I might go about this. Also, the software is going to be GPL licensed, so if you're interested in helping out, let me know. ~Scott


Where to find an End Portal?

So I was goofing around in creative mode just because my survival game was a little too intense and I wanted to play without the fear of dying. After a while, building got boring, and then I decided to go and find an End Portal. I've never found one before, but I looked at different tips and got an Ender Eye. I sent a few up from a triangular position. I dug down and found a stronghold. All excited, I decided to go searching. I literally explored every pathway and found absolutely nothing. Despite my many Eyes of Ender, I couldn't find the Portal! What am I doing wrong? I dug down to where it told me to...

I tried to find a page with **before/after screenshots** , e.g. of a character standing in a city, but with no success. For example: What was changed in Shrouded Isles? IIRC the water was updated. What else? Were the environment/city/character/mob models updated, too?

What is the most powerful spell?

What is the most powerful spell in Wizard101?   My friend says it is Heck Hound with damage over time with power pips.   But is the spell storm owl or tempest? I really want to know!   I did search it up.... but I also need to know if damage over time counts in this category?

Is the Tall Tale (Play 1,000 rounds of Versus mode) trophy for Towerfall Ascension (PS4) broken?

When checking my stats, I can see I have already played more than the 1000 rounds of versus mode per the trophy description but it didn't unlock. I also see the statistic of the Tall Tale (Play 1,000 rounds of Versus mode) trophy at 0% (meaning no player has unlocked it). Could it be just the trophy description that is bad and the trophy is actually for completing 1,000 matches (not rounds)?


Is it possible to prevent Max from switching weapons during cutscenes?

Each time a cutscene starts (and god knows it's pretty much _all the time_ in this game), Max switches back to any single right handed weapon he's got. This is highly annoying, mostly when the cutscene leads to a gunfight: guns are starting blazing everywhere in a second and you have a simple handgun 9mm instead of your favorite ak47, looted at the price of your life a few minutes before.   By the time you understand it, you are dead already.

When to repair Bhakti

I am on my first play-through, in Oerba, I have all the parts to repair Bhakti but am unsure if I should repair him now or wait, as I am pretty sure I havn't held every item/weapon in game. Should/can I wait? Or will he give me titles twice?


How to get new cards/decks?

I bought Scrolls and I just tried to play the tutorial first and a match against CPU, but at the moment I didn't receive any gems or coins, that I suppose are used to get new cards at the store. So my question is simple, how can I get new cards for free playing Scrolls? I read some months ago in an interview that all cards in the game could be get for free just playing, is it still true at the release?
